Politicos want to shield Net from election laws

Online politicking receives temporary reprieveMarch 23, 2005
Members of Congress said Thursday that the freewheeling world of Internet politicking should continue to be immune from campaign finance laws, and indicated they may rewrite the law to halt the FEC's proposal.
The handful of politicians present at a hearing convened by the U.S. House of Representatives Administration Committee hailed the Internet's power in democratizing politics and breeding grassroots action.
They touted the Net's low cost of entry, as compared with media such as television, and threw their support behind a brief amendment to campaign finance law, offered in March in both houses of Congress, that would "exclude communications over the Internet from the definition of public communication."
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat whose district covers Silicon Valley, indicated that the proposal enjoyed wide support and could be passed in an afternoon.
Existing campaign finance laws don't address the Net, but a "total carve-out" for Internet communications was built into FEC regulations issued in 2002. Last fall, however, a federal court ordered the FEC to clarify those Net rules, prompting a 47-page proposed rule-making document and two days of hearings.
On Thursday, two of the five sitting FEC commissioners, including Chairman Scott Thomas, said they favored a "less is more" approach to regulating the Net but saw a need to regulate paid political advertisements appearing on Web sites.
Commissioner Ellen Weintraub stood by her "Chill out, bloggers!" mantra, emphasizing that no one was interested in regulating the political speech itself. She said she'd be supportive of Congress taking action on the matter but that the FEC, under court order, would have to act soon if the lawmakers did not.
FEC Vice Chairman Michael Toner, departing from his colleagues, said he remained hopeful that the government would retain a broad Net exemption. It was no accident that the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act left the Internet out of its language, he said. And even the idea of confining the rules to paid ads would spark a new set of complexities in defining that category of speech.
Bloggers at the hearing continued to air their reservations about any regulations, saying they would be difficult to implement and even trickier to enforce.
"There isn't a real connection between the effectiveness of a site and how much money is spent on it," said Duncan Black, who runs a current events blog called "Eschaton."Besides, the bloggers said, there aren't any concrete examples of instances where the Internet wielded a corrupting influence on politics.
The politicians indicated sympathy for the bloggers' arguments, adding that the need to police the ballooning blogosphere would be a mammoth task. Part of their reluctance to regulate seemed to stem from a lack of tech expertise. Rep. Bob Ney, the Ohio Republican who chairs the committee, called the issue "confusing" and "baffling."
"I think it's a blessing that we've managed to keep the heavy hand of regulation off the Internet," Lofgren said. "When the government moves in to regulate the Internet, we'll almost always get it wrong."

- The Hand of Regulation
- The odious stench of the "Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act" (more commonly known by its title as a Senate bill, McCain-Feingold) becomes nauseatingly evident when regulators attempt to extend its anti-Constitutional distortions to Internet communication. This act is an offense to any sensible reading of the Constitution, no matter how limited legislators intend its impact to be on the Internet, or any other aspect of free speech.
The article states, "The politicians indicated sympathy for the bloggers' arguments, adding that the need to police the ballooning blogosphere would be a mammoth task." So, it is only the size of the task that dissuades them from clamping down on Internet speech?
Perhaps it would be best if complicit politicians from both parties actually would attempt to enforce these regulations upon the Internet using the broadest interpretation possible. That way, their audacity would be evident for what it is. The limited approach they are pursuing now will only seem to be a weak hand at the throat of the body politic, producing merely mild discomfort. But the hand of regulation will tighten its grip gradually, achieving strangulation only when the people are too deprived of oxygen to resist.

Worldwide reward for decades of international cooperation in Rhine protection!
On 16 September 2014 the ICPR was awarded the Thiess International Riverprize 2014 in Canberra (Australia). During a gala dinner, the price was handed over to the President of the ICPR, Mr. Gustaaf Borchardt and its deputy manager, Anne Schulte-Wülwer-Leidig.

Worldwide, the ICPR develops to be a model for environmental and water protection which numerous organizations take as an example. The secretariat has drafted some new pages concerning the ICPR success history. We would be grateful for any questions or suggestions you might have.
The Rhine and its catchment
This report presents an overview over ecological improvement along the River Rhine and its present chemical water quality. Furthermore, it contains a survey of the implementation of the Action Plan on Floods.
During the last years, the water quality of the Rhine and of many of its tributaries has been distinctly improved by reducing the inputs of pollutants and nutrients of industrial and municipal origin. However, micro-pollutants are a new challenge for water protection.

Judd-167, PR65 Brown
Judd-167, PR65 Brown
Design. Flying Eagle cent pattern in a large format, features a hooked-neck eagle flying left with slanting 5s on the obverse. ONE CENT in the center of the reverse is surrounded by a thick laurel wreath similar to that of a Coronet cent. Struck in copper with a plain edge.
Commentary. Many cent patterns were struck in 1855, in a bewildering array of compositions. Examples are known in copper, oroide, several different alloys of copper-nickel, German silver, and pure nickel. Judd-167 was struck in copper or bronze, with this piece being nearly 100% copper. Restrikes of Judd-167 are known. Examples with any amount of red color are very rare.
Physical Description. The design elements of this impressive Gem are sharply detailed throughout and the fields are remarkably free of contact marks. A few clash marks can be seen on each side and are especially prominent on the reverse. The pleasing satiny surfaces display attractive light brown patina, with a few hints of original red. Visual appeal is quite strong. Census: 3 in 65 Brown, 1 finer (3/13).

Users with industry-standard online identity credentials can now access secure Web applications
Government officials are interested in more than just streamlining their own employees' access to agencies' online resources through single-sign-on technologies. They also want to make it easier for people to access public services and interact with the government online.
Consolidating access control yields big payoffs
6 ways unified identity management pays off
3 stages of identity consolidation
Goals for top-notch identity systems
In March, the National Institutes of Health became the first government agency to accept two types of industry-standard online identity credentials that people can get for free and use to log in once and then access multiple secure Web applications, such as customized NIH library searches, conference registration and medical research wikis.
The two types of online credentials are named OpenID and Information Card. A growing number of companies allow their customers and users to create their own credentials using the two standards.
However, NIH only accepts OpenID and Information Card credentials managed by Google, PayPal and Equifax, the first three providers certified to participate in the Open Identity Exchange. OIX is a so-called trust framework, which is a way for one site to trust the identity, security and privacy assurances from another site acting on behalf of a user.
OIX is important to the NIH pilot project because it meets the requirements spelled out by the Trust Framework Provider Adoption Process established by the General Services Administration. Verizon is undergoing the OIX certification process, and it expects to complete it shortly.
"As we roll out progressively stronger levels of certification, this will empower U.S. citizens to access and manage their tax records, Social Security records, veterans' benefits, and many other government services online," said Drummond Reed, executive director of the Information Card Foundation and acting executive director of OIX.
OIX is also developing trust frameworks for state and local governments.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pressure on Gov. Tom Corbett grew Tuesday to accept the federal government's offer to fund the lion's share of a massive Medicaid expansion now that Pennsylvania is virtually surrounded by states that are getting in line, including states run by Corbett's fellow Republican governors.
Pa. Democrats build Medicaid pressure on Corbett
Democrats seized on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's decision to embrace the Medicaid expansion as an opportunity to paint Corbett and Pennsylvania as increasingly isolated from a growing group of states that will accept billions of federal health care dollars to help hospitals and doctors care for millions of uninsured people.
With Christie's decision Tuesday, all of Pennsylvania's neighbors are on board with the Medicaid expansion under President Barack Obama's signature health care law, except for West Virginia, where Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is still deciding.
"Pennsylvania is now essentially surrounded," state Sen. Vincent Hughes, D-Philadelphia, told reporters on a conference call. "We are a deserted island in the health care oasis. ... We're standing out here by ourselves."
Corbett's insurance commissioner last week called Medicaid a "broken" system and Corbett did not sway from his public stance Tuesday.
"The governor remains concerned about the cost of expanding Medicaid in Pennsylvania without reform," spokeswoman Christine Cronkright said Tuesday.
The Corbett administration estimates that Pennsylvania's taxpayers will have to shoulder a $4 billion tab under the federal health care law over the next eight years. But that estimate includes costs that would occur anyway under the law and is much higher than an estimate from the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured.
In addition, some governors calculated the tax benefit that would result from billions of federal health care dollars pumping into their state's economy. Corbett did not. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers maintain that the expansion would be a net tax benefit for Pennsylvania because federal money would relieve some of the state's existing health care costs.
Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, said Tuesday that his fellow Republicans in the GOP-controlled Legislature and members of the Corbett administration are becoming better educated on the issues involved with the Medicaid expansion by the day, and he echoed a Corbett administration complaint that information from the federal government has been lacking.

Oban in the West Highlands of Scotland has been known for years as the 'Gateway to the Isles'. It certainly boasts a busy harbour with ferries serving the Inner and Outer Hebridean islands and the town is famous too for its malt whisky distillery which sits beneath another famous landmark - McCaig's Tower (modelled on the Collisseum in Rome) - worth the steep climb to enjoy the fantastic west coast sunsets from its stone arched windows. The seas off Oban provide world class sailing, kayaking and scuba diving and there are plenty of marine trips and activities for visitors. Although part of the Highlands, Oban is close enough to the central belt to be easily accessible and its reputation as one of the most popular visitor destinations in Scotland was first gained in the days of Queen Victoria! Today, it is a vibrant seaside town boasting fantastic restaurants (often specialising in seafood and shellfish), stunning scenery and friendly locals.
If you have kids a trip to the Sealife Centre at nearby Barcaldine is a great day out. Children also like getting on the water and Calmac offer a variety of day cruises from their ferry hub in Oban. There are also marine wildlife trips to see dolphins, basking sharks and whales and you can fish anywhere on the seashore (no permit necessary) and catch something for your tea. The rivers are teaming with salmon and trout and there is plenty of wildlife on shore to observe - from red deer to pinemartens. McCaig's Tower and Pulpit Hill in Oban offer spectacular views out over Oban Bay and beyond to the island of Kerrera, Mull and Iona. A trip to any of these islands is a must on any holiday. Iona is the 'cradle of Christianity' and the abbey is a magical place to visit. Staffa inspired Mendellsohn's great Hebridean Overture and artists across the centuries have drawn inspiration from the stunning scenery that is all around.

Falcons S Moore's impressive season interrupted
Posted Dec. 14, 2012 @ 2:56 p.m. ET
By Dan Parr
Falcons SS William Moore had one of the best games of his career (team-high 11 tackles and two interceptions) in his last outing — Atlanta's Week 13 win over New Orleans — and he played every defensive snap in that game. However, he has not practiced for the past two weeks, and it remains unclear how and when Moore suffered the hamstring injury that has sidelined him.
He did not play in Week 14 and is questionable for Atlanta's Week 15 game against the Giants.
The Falcons already have clinched the NFC South title, but they are still trying to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and Moore has been one of their best defensive players this season. In fact, league evaluators say Moore, who is in the final year of his contract, is having one of the best seasons of his four-year career.
Injuries have set him back before, though. Quad and groin injuries kept him out of four games last season and he played in only two games as a rookie before being placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Fourteen of the 19 games Moore has missed in his career were during his rookie season (2009) — Atlanta's record without Moore is 9-10 (it's 34-8 in games he has played in).
It should not come as a surprise if the Falcons are erring on the side of caution in the short term with Moore while he deals with the hamstring injury — they need him to be as healthy as possible for the playoffs.

I've owned and used (and worn out) numerous portable small compressors over the years (I'm 66). I must say that the VIAIR 85P is the best small compressor I've ever used. It is light in weight but operates very quickly and reasonably quietly. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a small portable compressor for their automobile.

This story was corrected on June 30, 2014. An explanation follows the story.
For Canadian band Enter the Haggis, one night at Jammin Java just wasn't enough. They will be there Thursday and again on Friday to celebrate the Fourth of July with the crowd.
Enter the Haggis is made up of Brian Buchanan, Craig Downie, Trevor Lewington, Mark Abraham and Bruce McCarthy. The band has the typical rock set up with bass, drums, guitar and vocals, but also have a bit of an exotic twist with fiddle, trumpet, mandolin, harmonica and a bagpipe.
"It's the core group, what you might kind of hear in a lot of bands, but it's augmented with the more unusual instruments," said McCarthy, who plays drums in the band.
The addition of these underrepresented instruments into their rock music gives them a more folk twist.
"Well, I would say you could liken it to sort of an indie rock band with Celtic, folk, Americana sort of influences," McCarthy said. "Our sound has changed and evolved a lot over the years."
In recent years, the band left their recording company to put their albums out independently with the help of their ever-growing fanbase.
"We have done three different crowdfunding campaigns for the last three albums, the third of which is yet to come out, but we recorded it," McCarthy said.
McCarthy explained that even if the label is giving you a lot of funding to work on an album, they still need to take back from your sales.
"It's never free money, it's always sort of an investment," he said. "We were in a situation that it was no longer optional."
With the crowdfunding, the band was able to break away from labels without having to sacrifice the quality of the record. McCarthy said being an independent band has given them the freedom of recording the best album they can without time or budgetary restraints.
However, one of the band's big concerns, according to McCarthy, is making sure none of their fans who contribute to their funding feel like the band is taking advantage of their generosity.
"We try to offer value with pledge rewards and I think that comes across," McCarthy said. "We put a lot of work into the things that we offer and a lot of time on our end. Hopefully, ultimately, the albums are strong enough that people think it was worth it."
While people enjoy their albums, McCarthy joked that it doesn't really matter how much effort they put into recording because people always seem to enjoy experiencing the band live even more.
"It's always a great time," McCarthy said. "People enjoy themselves and feel engaged by the music and the five of us up on stage."
Correction: The band plays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday.

Ontario-based ATI Technologies (NASDAQ:ATYT - News) is one of two main players in the market for video processors, the chips used in personal computers to display game graphics and movies. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA - News), headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., is the other. The pair has been locked in fierce competition for years, but a look at ATI's fiscal third-quarter results, reported June 25, shows that ATI may be starting to gain market share.
Revenues of $342.1 million for the quarter ended May 31 trounced both the consensus expectation of $305 million and ATI's own guidance of $300 million, and represented year-over-year
growth of 28%
. Nvidia's most recent quarterly filing showed a
31% year-over-year revenue decline. And while Nvidia's guidance calls for, at most, 8% revenue growth this quarter, ATI is expecting at least 40%
and just found to corroborate the 31% nvidia decline at x-bit:
So, how about them apples? Nvidia is big and has money, but I think Ati is puttin the hurt on.
I think that was in ATI's Q2 financial report, should be on yahoo if you look for it, after that was posted Ati's stock soared

How long do the parts of a house last?
Paul Morse made a career of renovating old houses. Some have problems that come as a surprise to the homeowners. Today, he tells you about a few of the most common ones.
Buying an older home is a lot like buying a used car in a private sale. You can have it checked out by an expert, but there are no guarantees that something wont wear out or malfunction and no warranties if they do.
Ive worked with homeowners who bought homes with leaks that were temporarily hidden by paint, insulation that had settled so much that it was virtually nonexistent, and basements that turned out to have serious water problems. The prior owner or home inspector may know of and disclose the potential for future problems. When the seller doesnt know or doesnt tell, the new owner is in for an unpleasant surprise.
A few years ago, the National Association of Home Builders conducted a study on the life expectancy of home components. Here are a few highlights:
A foundation should last forever, but termite proofing will only last about 12 years
HVAC systems last an average of 15-25 years with proper and regular maintenance
A slate roof can last 50 years or more; a roof made of asphalt shingles lasts an average of 20 years (although it may be less with the tough Boston weather)
Wood windows last longer than aluminum 30 years versus 15 to 20
Stairs and custom millwork should last a lifetime
Kitchen faucets should last about 15 years, but a whirlpool tub could keep going as long as 50 if you dont use it much
Decks could last 20 years, depending upon the materials used
In my renovation work, I frequently encounter structural or infrastructure problems such as window headers that are not framed to meet todays code; original balloon framing without floor-load support that meets todays standards; joists that have been cut or notched in improperly done renovations; rotting wood hidden by soffit and fascia boards; and electrical panels that will not support home improvements. These issues may dramatically affect the total cost of a repair project.
Maintenance and repairs are part of being a homeowner, but unexpected problems are no fun. Some of these surprises could be avoided if buyers ask questions such as When were the windows installed? Have you replaced the roof since youve owned your home? Have you installed insulation and when? or Do you have a record of structural changes made to the house? Answers to these questions will help anticipate future expenses.

Apache has threatened to walk out on the Java process in a row over the way Oracle licenses the Java software.
Apache is a member of the Java Community Process (JCP) Executive Committee that guides the way the Java platform is run, but has had a long-running battle over licences, first with previous Java controller Sun and now with Oracle.
Oracle has rocked the open source boat since taking over Sun's lead on the Java platform, with critics claiming the company is throwing its weight around and moulding projects to suit its own plans and potential profits.
At the heart of the Apache complaint is that it wants access to the testbed Technology Compatibility Kit so that Apache can work on its own open-source version of the Java Standard Edition, called Project Harmony.
"The ASF has been entitled to a licence for the test kit for Java SE (the "TCK") that will allow us to test and distribute a release of the Apache Harmony project under the Apache License," the group said in a blog post.
"Oracle is violating its contractual obligation as set forth under the rules of the JCP by only offering a TCK license that imposes additional terms and conditions that are not compatible with open-source or Free software licences."
The spat has already held up the release of version 7 of Java and it could yet see Apache leave the project altogether. "The ASF will terminate its relationship with the JCP if our rights as implementers of Java specifications are not upheld," Apache said.
Oracle has yet to comment on the situation.

The focus of my laboratory's work is to understand the mechanisms by which neurons form synaptic connections, how synapses transmit information, and how synapses change during learning and memory. We combine molecular biology, protein biochemistry, electrophysiology, and imaging approaches with Drosophila genetics to address these questions. Neurotransmitter release from synaptic vesicle fusion is the fundamental mechanism for neuronal communication at synapses. Since the work of Bernard Katz, it has been known that synaptic vesicle fusion is triggered by Ca2+ influx into the presynaptic terminal. Vesicular trafficking pathways are ubiquitous among eukaryotes, with fusion driven by the SNARE complex. Neurotransmitters can be released during evoked fusion following an action potential, or through spontaneous fusion of vesicles (termed "minis") in the absence of nerve stimulation. One of the major goals of my research program has been to define how vesicular trafficking mediates synaptic transmission, and how this process can be altered to change neuronal communication. At synapses, SNARE-mediated fusion is uniquely regulated to allow rapid and Ca2+-triggered synaptic vesicle fusion. Several key adaptations to the core fusion machinery require synapse specific SNARE-binding proteins, including Synaptotagmin 1 (Syt 1) and Complexin (Cpx). We have extensively studied how these proteins control synaptic output. Syt 1 is a synaptic vesicle protein that binds to SNARE complexes and membrane phospholipids in a Ca2+-dependent manner. My lab and others have show that Syt 1 functions as the Ca2+ sensor for fast synchronous neurotransmitter release. Cpx is a small cytosolic α-helical protein that binds assembled SNARE complexes. We have shown that association of Cpx with SNAREs allows it to function as a facilitator for synaptic vesicle fusion and as a fusion clamp to prevent premature exocytosis in the absence of Ca2+. A key avenue of our ongoing research program is to understand how these proteins, together with other key fusion regulators, mediate cycles of SNARE assembly and disassembly in a precisely coordinated fashion to support synaptic transmission. Similarly, we also seek to understand how the core fusion machinery can be rapidly modified, for example through phosphorylation, to alter presynaptic function and synaptic plasticity.
We use the Drosophila NMJ as a model synapse to uncover general principles of synapse biology. Recent work in the lab is also seeking to understand how synaptic vesicle release probability and release mode are determined at individual release sites. Evoked release following an action potential has been well characterized for its function in activating the postsynaptic cell, but the significance of spontaneous release is less clear. Whether receptors on the postsynaptic cell have the ability to distinguish between neurotransmitters released through the two independent fusion pathways is still under debate. If both vesicle release mechanisms activate the same set of receptors, crosstalk would occur between the two modes of fusion. However, if spontaneous release occurs at distinct release sites, the postsynaptic cell may be capable of differentiating between the two modes of release, suggesting spontaneous fusion may represent a separate information channel independent of the traditional Ca2+-activated evoked release pathway. The major confound to this question has been the inability to examine vesicle fusion at individual active zones. Classical electrophysiological studies of synaptic transmission measure the postsynaptic effect of neurotransmitter release over a population of release sites, precluding an analysis of how individual active zones participate in and regulate these two modes of vesicle fusion. We have developed transgenically expressed Ca2+ sensors that allow imaging of postsynaptic glutamate receptor activation following vesicle fusion, providing a mechanism to visualize all exocytotic events occurring through both spontaneous and evoked release pathways at Drosophila glutamatergic neuromuscular junctions. This toolkit allows us to generate release probability maps for both spontaneous and evoked fusion for all active zones at a synapse. By imaging a defined neuromuscular connection with ~ 300 active zones between the synaptic partners, we have begun to analyze the relationship between spontaneous and evoked release and determine how release mode and release probability are regulated at individual active zones at this model glutamatergic synapse. Unexpectedly, we have discovered that a subset of active zones are dedicated to spontaneous release, indicating a population of postsynaptic receptors is uniquely activated by this mode of vesicle fusion. We have also found that release probability can vary more than 100-fold between neighboring active zones. This is an exciting finding and provides us a mechanism to understand how single active zone release probability is regulated. The ability to measure individual active zones for their release probability also allows us to determine how active zone release properties can change during synaptic plasticity. It is likely that evoked and spontaneous active zone release probability is not a static property of synaptic connections, and can be differentially regulated during distinct modes of synaptic plasticity. Synaptic plasticity mechanisms can be manifested through changes in N (the number of release sites), P (probability of release) or Q (quantal size). Many factors have been suggested to regulate these properties. However, the lack of a tool to examine single active zone release probability has made it difficult to dissect how these changes play out over a population of release sites. We are now in a position to examine how plastic changes in release properties at the NMJ map onto alterations in individual active zone release probability. By mapping single active zone release probability during both acute and homeostatic synaptic plasticity and following the properties, we can gain new insights into presynaptic mechanisms underlying synaptic communication and plasticity at a model glutamatergic synapse.

text: [Deal Alert] 16 GB Samsung Galaxy S III for Sprint, Verizon and AT&T for $99, new customers Only Stormy Beach 11 September, 2012 6 Comments The Samsung Galaxy S III is without a doubt the hottest selling device across the globe right now. Even with the Note 2 hot on its heals, the S III is more phone then most people will ever need. The price difference for a new S III per carrier wasn't drastic, at least not between these three, but picking up a new account with another carrier vs upgrading often has its perks. In this case Amazon has a special running for Verizon, Sprint and AT&T wanna be customers. You can snag a 16GB Samsung Galaxy S III for a small charge of only $99.99. That's a pretty good deal if you have been thinking about switching carriers lately. The break down for an upgrade to an existing account puts an S III on your current line for $149 with Verizon and Sprint. On the AT&T side of things you would be looking at $179 for an upgrade. No matter which route you take you are still getting a better deal than any T-Mobile customer out there. If you have been waiting for a good reason to pull the trigger and jump ship to another provider, now is a pretty good time. Hit up any of the three links below to head to the respective carrier device you are after. Verizon – Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (Verizon Wireless) Sprint – Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (Sprint) AT&T –Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (AT&T) Bonnie Yesterday, Tmobile offered the Samsung galaxy S III for a 12 hour websale for 99.00 (after mail in rebate) as well, though for new customers only. Yet they offered the upgrade price of 279.00 for my husband's line. I'm getting tired of long time customers getting shafted on phone prices by tmobile. It's crap that every other carrier offers lower prices on phones.. http://www.androidspin.com Stormy Beach I agree. It is the one reason why I haven't been able to upgrade yet.. To damn expensive. FILA Yea, I was wondering that, your using the Original Galaxy arnt you. When do you plan to upgrade? Dont you get some discount after 2 years? Or do you plan to buy a phone out right next go around http://www.androidspin.com Stormy Beach Ya, I still have a Vibrant. TMo wants like $279 for an S III. That's ridiculous. I'd love to upgrade, and I really need to, hard to test out and try new games and software when my phone can't handle it. But I won't settle for something less than I want, i'd rather just go without. parmar hello Stormy Beach i m parmar Divyarajsinh from India it possible in India i want to buy S III . i have pay only 99.99 USD . and one onther que. is that i Use Airtel & Vodafone sim card it support in this mobile . plz reply me fast as well as posssible .. FILA I'll take one please, my credit card number is 5263 5504 8473 6961

Obesity surgery fails to extend life in older men
CHICAGO Very obese older men hoping to live longer may be let down by a new long-term study that found weight-loss surgery didn't increase survival for people like them - at least during the first seven years.
Prior studies have found stomach stapling and other obesity surgeries improved survival rates after two to 10 years. The new study in mostly older male veterans suggests one of two things: Not everyone gains equally from surgery, or a survival benefit may show up later in older men, after more years of follow-up.
Previous findings came mainly from studies of mostly younger women.
"Nearly all prior studies have found bariatric surgery to be associated with reduced mortality. But those studies were conducted on very different patient populations using less rigorous methods," said lead author Matthew Maciejewski of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Durham, N.C.
The patients' organ damage from obesity could have been too far along for weight loss surgery to reverse it, some experts said.
"It may be too little too late," said Dr. Philip Schauer of Cleveland Clinic's Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. He was not involved in the study. "You may have to intervene earlier for a survival benefit."
Evidence has been mounting for the health benefits of obesity surgery, so the new results may surprise some people. U.S. doctors now perform more than 200,000 obesity surgeries a year at an estimated cost of $3 billion to $5 billion. Schauer said a definitive study on survival could cost $200 million.
The new study, released Sunday to coincide with a medical meeting, will appear in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.
Benefits of obesity surgery - improved quality of life, weight loss and reductions in diabetes symptoms, blood pressure and sleep apnea - may be reason enough to choose the treatment.
"These results are not an indictment of surgery," Maciejewski said. He and his colleagues plan to follow the patients longer to see if a survival benefit shows up 10 to 14 years after surgery.
The study, while rigorous, wasn't the gold standard where people are randomly assigned to have one treatment or another. Instead, researchers compared nearly 850 patients who had surgery in Veterans Affairs hospitals with other obese veterans. The two groups were as similar as possible, matched for age, gender, race and marital status.
After nearly seven years, the two groups were equally likely to be alive.
Without the painstaking matching analysis, the researchers did see a lower death rate in the surgery group compared to a group of obese patients who didn't have surgery. But that could mean the patients who underwent surgery were healthier than the patients who didn't.
All the surgery patients had gastric bypass, a method that makes the stomach smaller by stapling and allows food to skip much of the small intestine. The smaller stomach holds less food and the digestive detour means the body absorbs fewer calories.
The patients had surgery between 2000 and 2006. Their average age was 49 and their average body mass index was 47. A BMI of 30 or more is considered obese.

Martinez one month in
Terry Francona has said he prefers Jason Varitek catching Josh Beckett and Jon Lester, but he chose Victor Martinez to catch Lester tonight for a handful of reasons.
Francona wants Varitek to catch Beckett tomorrow. Francona is unsure of what Thursday and Friday will hold for his lineup because the Chicago White Sox altered their pitching rotation.
Francona also said he trying to put an offensive team on there tonight and wants mix and match to maximize rest for both Martinez and Varitek.
One month into his Red Sox tenure, what has Martinezs impact been on the pitching staff? Red Sox pitchers throwing to Martinez during his 16 games behind the plate (an admittedly limited sample size) have a combined ERA of 6.22. Four base stealers have attempted to steal on him, and all four have been successful.
There are signs Martinez is gaining comfort with the Sox staff. Saturday night, he caught Clay Buchholzs finest outing this season, when Buchholz allowed one earned run on three hits while striking out nine in 8 1/3 innings. Martinez has actually caught Buchholzs last six outings, four of which were quality starts. Buchholz is 2-2 with a 4.75 during the span.
I think hes done a good job, even from the beginning, Francona said. I cant imagine that thats real easy when you havent caught anybody. It certainly hasnt been an issue. It hasnt got in the way of us winning games or anything like that. Hes been real eager to ask questions and to learn. He catches guys sides.
Hes been pretty good. Obviously, we feel pretty good about him, or we wouldnt be catching him with a guy like Lester pitching.
Since Martinezs arrival, the Red Sox are 8-6 when Martinez starts at catcher and 8-6 when Varitek starts at catcher, identical records. (The Red Sox are 2-0 in the games Varitek started at catcher and Martinez entered late.)
Overall, the Sox are 16-12 since Martinez arrived. He has played in all but one game, and the Sox are 15-12 in games Martinez has appeared in.
His offensive production and effect on the lineup is undeniable. The Red Sox scored 5.89 runs per game in August, their highest total in any month this season and third best in the majors behind the Yankees (6.25) and Angels (6.21). The Sox second best month was April, when they averaged 5.73 runs.
Martinezs 19 RBI ranked first among Red Sox in August, and his 33 hits ranked second, behind Jacoby Ellsburys 36.

Super Tuesday is the closest thing to a national primary and the outcome of the primaries, caucuses, one state and one district convention will have national implications. The voting in 21 states Feb. 5 could determine whether the race for the Republican nomination is effectively decided or goes on for weeks or even months.
One thousand thirty-eight delegates — just less than half the 1,191 needed to secure the nomination — are at stake in contests from sea to shining sea.
The GOP race is essentially down to Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee runs third in the national polls. Libertarian Republican Texas Rep. Ron Paul is a distant fourth.
A top McCain aide said McCain expects to do well and could rack up wins in enough Super Tuesday states to force Romney from the race or leave him in it only nominally.
McCain is in a strong position in three Eastern winner-take-all states: New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. He is also far out front in the latest polls in another delegate-rich state: Illinois.
In an slightly in-your-face gesture, the Arizona senator will spend today campaigning on Romney's home turf of Massachusetts, as well as New York and New Jersey.
Romney is counting on states like Massachusetts, Utah and Colorado as his own. Utah's Mormon community, which makes up a large portion of the state's population, is expected to turn out in support of Romney. Romney is also expected to do well in Colorado's Republican caucus in a state where he was the most organized Republican with the most extensive field operation. Moreover, in Western states, mormons are considered more neighbors than a question mark.
Although fading nationally, Huckabee could still win several states: His native Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia seem like his best shot, the latter two being state showdowns between McCain and Huckabee and key tests for the GOP candidates in attracting the party's social conservatives.
The key state Tuesday is California. Polls disagree on whether Romney or McCain is ahead. Add to that the arcane system of awarding delegates by congressional district and anything is possible. Though McCain enters California's Super Tuesday contest with the support of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the state's GOP primary is open only to registered Republicans, making the task all the more challenging for McCain.
With a flair for the dramatic and an eye on the Golden State prize, Romney added a late campaign stop in Long Beach to today's schedule. McCain countered by appending to his Tuesday schedule a quick stop for an airport rally in San Diego en route from New York to Phoenix.
McCain advisers deny the California stop means they're worried about a Romney resurgence there.
If Romney can do well in California — take the state's popular vote and/or win the lion's share of delegates — and grab a handful of other states, he may be sufficiently encouraged to battle on.
Huckabee remaining in the race is an obstacle for Romney. The conventional wisdom is that Romney would benefit most from his withdrawal.
But when Romney suggested it was time for Huckabee to pull out, Huckabee responded in anger.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Alex Brownsell, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 17 June 2010 11:30AM
The 'After Hours Club' website, created by agency Geronimo, targets hobbies associated with whisky drinkers, such as gardening and classical music, as it looks to generate a greater sense of brand loyalty.
On the site, Grantswhisky.com/afterhours, users can win tickets to an exclusive concert with pianist Murray McLachlan. Grant's has also created a 'Garden Terrace' where visitors can receive gardening tips from TV presenter Chris Beardshaw, as well as winning tickets to BBC Gardener's World Live.
"In a market so focused on price, it was important to understand what really matters to Grant's consumers, and do things differently to get them interacting. The website really taps into their passions and interests outside of whisky, and provides relevant content to engage with them," said Geronimo managing director Andy Snuggs.
William Grant & Sons hired Geronimo last year with a brief to devise a UK digital and CRM strategy, following a wider review of its digital marketing.

Does anyone know of where to find unit testing guidelines and recommendations? I'd like to have something which addresses the following types of topics (for example):
- Should tests be in the same project as application logic?
- Should I have test classes to mirror my logic classes or should I have only as many test classes as I feel I need to have?
- How should I name my test classes, methods, and projects (if they go in different projects)
- Should private, protected, and internal methods be tested, or just those that are publicly accessible?
- Should unit and integration tests be separated?
- Is there a good reason not to have 100% test coverage?
What am I not asking about that I should be?
An online resource would be best.
