The Dutch midfielder will be sidelined for "at least two months," according to a statement on the Gelsenkirchen club's website, after sustaining the injury at Schalke's winter training camp in Doha.
The 26-year-old has already flown back to Germany to begin rehabilitation, but a return is unlikely before March meaning he could miss both legs of the Champions League clash against Galatasaray as well as a host of Bundesliga matches.
Team-mate Christoph Moritz has also flown back to Gelsenkirchen after tearing knee ligaments, although his injury is not reported to be so bad and he could still be available for Schalke's first Bundesliga fixture of 2013, against Hannover on January 18.

John Banville: "Sex is wonderful but writing about it is terrible"
The author on bad sex, bad reviews and comparisons with Joyce.
The author on bad sex, bad reviews and comparisons with Joyce.
by Alice Gribbin Published
Ancient Light, your new novel, is about a 15-year-old boy having an affair with his best friend's mother. You said on Radio 4 that writing sex into a novel is impossible.
The act is wonderful but writing about it is terrible, terrible. D H Lawrence tried to do it, with appalling results. It's always either sentimental or terribly stern.
Is it something about the extreme subjectivity of the experience?
It's the fantastical aspect about sex. We have to imagine we are clasping a goddess or a god in our arms, otherwise it won't work. Afterwards, our rational selves have to realise that this is a human being. The erotic always tends to affection, love or negative things. You can't write about fantasy without being ridiculous.
I would love to write a pornographic book – I think it's a great challenge.
Do you read your own work?
No, I wouldn't dare. When I have to do readings, I read with one eye closed. What am I going to discover here? Usually horrors.
But your prose style is very lyrical. Do you never read aloud when writing?
Oh, yes. I catch myself chanting these lines aloud. I don't know I'm doing it – now and then I just hear it. It's a very dangerous prose style to have.
Do you read the reviews you get?
About 20 years ago, I stopped eating meat. I was eating less and less and thought one day: "Just don't eat it any more." So I didn't. At the same time, I found that I was reading less and less of the reviews. I thought: "Why not just stop?" It's a wonderful sense of freedom. When I publish a book now I feel I'm in a hot-air balloon, in total silence, just drifting away. Then your friends ring you up and tell you about the bad ones.
Do you recognise playfulness in your novels?
Entirely. People take my work much too solemnly; seriously is fine by me. Life is tragic but it's equally comic. A friend of mine called Ortwin de Graef publishes with the University of Nebraska Press and he was the one who uncovered the anti-Semitic newspaper articles by Paul de Man. If you look closely, [the fictional character] Fargo de Winter is an anagram of Ortwin de Graef. I was very pleased with that. And my friend used to be a punk, so this guy is a professor of post-punk studies.
Are these inside jokes scattered throughout?
Pedrigo Seagran in Ancient Light is an anagram of an Argentinian friend of mine. When I told him I was writing this book, he said, "Give me a walk-on part." I should start charging. Would you like to be in my next novel? I've advertised Guinness quite a bit.
The tramp in Ancient Light, Trevor of Trinity, is like a character out of Dubliners.
He exists – he's a straight description. I've always followed the congress of tramps.
Do you enjoy the Joycean comparisons?
It's simply true that Dublin is a walking city. It's infuriating in many ways. It's very sad now because we're all so poor, but it still has something of what it had when I first came from the provinces in the 1960s. All those clichéd things about Dublin are still there.
The novel is written with a strong, first-person voice. Are we meant to long for the interiority of the mother?
The point about Mrs Gray is that she lives on the surface. She's not a thinker, not introspective. She's so generous. I'm in love with her; I think she's a wonderful creature. I don't know how I created her. She must be my own mother.
Is this a preoccupation of our age – always trying to get below the surface?
Nietzsche says: on the surface, that's where the real depth is. It's true. All a work of art can do is present the surface. I can't know the insides of people. I know very little about the inside of myself.
"Ancient Light" is published by Viking (£16.99)

If Id a cow that gave such milk, Id dress her in the finest silk;
Feed her lots of sweet, sweet hay, and milk her twenty times a day.
Joseph Winner, Little Brown Jug
Yesterday my botany class had its first field trip of the semester. It was chilly but not so bad. (Dont forget that the middle of winter is a great time to study plants.) On our trip, we dealt mostly with woody plants with prominent, above-ground stems. Then we came up on this little thing, which is much different.
Its an evergreen herb with leathery leaves, and the stem is actually below the soil. The leaves are attached to the top of this subterranean stem, each one on a long, slender stalk or petiole. Sometimes youll see a single leaf all by itself, but usually there are three or four (or more) on each plant. The leaf blades are dark green and rather shiny, and they usually feature a good bit of green-free zones, thus appearing mottled or variegated.
The blades are highly variable even on the same plant but most frequently arrowhead-shaped and triangular with rounded lobes down at the base, just above the attachment of the petiole. The blades themselves are a bit unusual as leaves go, in being just as wide or wider, than they are long. The stem of the whole plant isnt very big, just a few inches, equipped with a tuft of rubbery roots. This little plant has nine (or so) rather close relatives in North America, and this is the most common of them in the Southeast, growing in various forest types from southern Virginia down to Louisiana.
Perhaps the best part of this short botanical story involves the plants spicy scent. All of its tissues are basically infused with compounds producing a strong and pleasant root-beer scent, and the roots and leaves have been used as a wild source of ginger. Of course, true ginger in the grocery stores is a completely different plant.
During the winter, this humble herb sits quietly on the chilly forest floor waiting for those first few sweet, warm days of early spring. Then it goes into action and develops a few flowers. Dont look for them popping out above the ground, though; the flowers remain buried under the leaf litter, where its sheltered, quiet and dark.
The flowers will be tubular, up to three or so inches long, swollen at the base. There are no petals at all; the sepals that are present are fused, forming a bottle- or jug-shaped bloom housing the stamens and styles. The sepals are partially free at the tip end, forming three stumpy little lobes.
The whole flower is rather drab but in a pleasant way, purplish-brown. No flashy butterflies or bumbling bees help with pollinating; it is thought that very tiny insects, possibly including thrips, help with this matter. Small pods follow the little brown jugs.
Interestingly, it seems that certain ant species are useful in moving the little seeds around. For anyone inclined to see the flowers or fruits, youll need to get down on your hands and knees and carefully move the leaf litter away from the bottom of the plant.
John Nelson is the curator of the A. C. Moore Herbarium at the University of South Carolina, in the Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia. The Herbarium offers free plant identifications. For more information, visit www.herbarium.org or call (803) 777-8196.

"After studying out of a book all day," Skylar says, "sometimes I feel a little lost in how what I just learned applies to the real world. Hopefully, the students find this kart new and exciting and that what they learn in school can be applied in real life. It would be awesome if they engineered my race car one day!". Thursday, September 19th, Augusta, Georgia residents Skylar Robinson, 17, and his father, Chip, will be heading to Charleston, South Carolina area where they will deliver their 6 Simple Machines© presentation at three venues which are the West Ashley Public Library, Miriam Brown Community Center, both of which are hosted by the Charleston Change 4H Club and St. Andrews School of Math and Science.
Skylar Robinson is a 17 year-old senior honor student who loves racing. He is also a National Champion karter who has moved up to racing cars this past year and has already won 10 races in the US and England so far this season. He has also been selected as one of six finalists for Team USA Scholarship. Skylar and his father, Chip Robinson, a retired race car driver who has won the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring, have developed a way to share their enthusiasm for motorsports and karting. They have developed an educational program called 6 Simple Machines©. This is a PowerPoint presentation which they take into the classroom along with a kart held vertically on a custom stand.
The Robinsons talk about racing, the role engineering plays in mechanical design, and how they use the six simple machines to win races. They demonstrate where the six simple machines (the basis of all mechanical engineering) are located on the kart and how they are combined to give their racing effort a strong competitive advantage.
The kids get to connect the science they are learning to something that is fun and exciting on a scale they can relate to. They also see that many things they do everyday are made possible using a lever, wheel, inclined plane, wedge, screw or pulley.

The School of Biology provides three Master of Science degree courses, the contents of which focus on the main strengths in biological research at the University of Lausanne. All of these Master degree courses are taught entirely in English, last one and a half years, and amount to 90 ECTS credits.
The degrees issued at the end of these three Master degree programmes are:
- Master of Science in Behaviour, Evolution and Conservation (MSc BEC)
- Master of Science in Medical Biology (MSc BM)
- Master of Science in Molecular Life Sciences (MSc MLS)
- distinction in Bioinformatics
- distinction in Microbiology
- distinction in Integrative Biology
The studies for the Master degrees are divided into three semesters and consist partly of common courses, mostly in the first semester, as well as more specialized optional courses largely during the second semester.
Of particular importance throughout the Master degree course is individual laboratory research, with an introductory work ("first step") in the first semester and a Master thesis in the second and third semesters. Within the framework of their research, students are integrated into laboratories performing state-of-the-art research and thus take part in advancing of knowledge in their fields.
The training and supervision of Master research are provided by the various partner departments of the Basic Sciences section (SSF) of the Faculty of Biology and Medicine, as well as in collaboration with partner institutions (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV), the Centre of Cery, the Ludwig Institute, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), The Preservation of Wildlife, etc.)

employee technical assistance and training programs. In 1998, when OSHA's budget was $336.5 million, the agency reported that states and territories with state plans allocated another $111.3 million to their own programs (OSHSPA, 1999).
In its FY 2001 budget request, OSHA stated that it expected to issue seven standards in FY 2000 and five more FY 2001 (DOL, 2000). For FY 2000, the agency estimated that federal OSHA employees would conduct more than 34,500 inspections and 27,500 consultation visits. State plan personnel would conduct another 55,000 inspections in FY 2000.
OSHA's enforcement activities include responding to complaints made by employees covered by OSHA and periodically inspecting covered workplaces on a scheduled basis. OSHA's compliance officers inspect work sites and counsel employers regarding compliance concerns. The reports of these compliance officers provide the basis for regional office personnel to determine whether violations exist and citations should be issued. In 1999, OSHA began a targeted inspection program that focuses on the work sites with the highest injury and illness rates on the basis of the data reported to OSHA (Jeffress, 2000).
Penalties for violations range from zero in the case of de minimus technical violations that do not affect safety or health to $70,000 for the most serious repeated or willful violations. If violations are not corrected within a specified time, a "failure to abate" violation can result in fines of up to $7,000 per day. Appendix E describes enforcement activities and penalties in more detail.
OSHA operates within the boundaries provided by its statute, applicable executive orders, and relevant judicial decisions. The provisions of the 1997 proposed rule on tuberculosis reflect the directions and constraints set by each of these sources. The next chapter compares that rule and the 1994 CDC guidelines on tuberculosis in health care facilities.

So lets reserve the right to vote only for those who pay taxes.
really? Why should freedom be based on how much material wealth you possess?
First of all, everyone pays somekind of taxes, whether it be sales taxes, property taxes, ect. Just because someone has not amassed enough 'stuff' to be required to pay federal income tax, doesnt mean they should be stripped of thier freedom.
If your standard is that, then the people who 'dont pay taxes' should be exempt from a potential draft/selective service, following traffic laws, and should be banned from using the public library.
Im gonna vote for Pope Francis. He cares.
Part of a broader plan. Everyone who collects social security, income, anyone who makes any money at all should pay some tax; even if it is only 10%. Everyone pays taxes, everyone has a stake in government. I do not believe those who pay nothing into the government by income tax should have a say in how the government is run. That's it.
And I believe that taxes should be voluntary and individuals should get to decide how their money gets spent if they choose to pay any taxes in the first place.
No taxes are better than low taxes.
Wealthy corpoRATions that don't pay taxes?
YEP - Support Move To Amend.
Would that apply to people that receive welfare?
Yes, in my opinion. The template that I imagine has to be extremely simple. Everyone pays taxes. Welfare was never intended as a way of life, unless there are legit reasons why an individual is incompacitated.
Everyone should get one vote for every tax dollar that they pay.
Except corporations -
they should get one vote for every dollar that they dont pay
I agree.
The wealthy man, if he contributes large sums of money to causes and candidates, in essence purchases many votes. Shouldn't we also give the poor voter as many extra votes as the rich man buys?
He or she purchases not one vote. there was never a constutional mandate to validate the facts or truth behind a candidate; they can spew as much crap as they please. Irregardless, any candidate needs to spread, and spread repeatedly, their message to nation of 180 million or 200 million voters. And that costs money. They can say what they want. But the voter that walks into the booth has the responsibility to learn the issues and become educated before they cast the vote.
So you believe money doesn't buy votes?
If money could buy votes, I would buy a few dozen out here. It is very, very simple. The money out there is to disseminate the word, whatever that word is, not to buy votes. It is the individual voter's prerogative whether to listen to the messages from the PACs or not.
If the voters can't hear viewpoints disseminated by other candidates, they can't make an informed decision.
When one person buys a megaphone and drowns out the voice of his opposition, democracy ceases to exist.
If voters are so stupid that they don't know where and how to find out what each candidate's platform is, they shouldn't be voting at ALL. Hell, half of the people in this country who SHOULD be voting, don't. Are you going to blame that on "megaphones" and "money" too?
A public so gullible that it votes based on who produces the slickest ads, or the most ads, or whoever makes the most noise DESERVES WHAT IT GETS.
There's a cold, short sighted part of me that completely agrees with your point. But further thought from the warmer and wiser, far sighted part comes to a different conclusion.
We are all part of a community, a state, and a nation. The actions of the majority effect all. If the people do make a poor choice in representation, everyone pays the price. Their children do, you and your children do as well. And it seems that the results of past choices are what we're living with now.
Wouldn't the better choice to make be for the population to have a clear and balanced understanding of the issues and candidates instead of the current two sided media blast?
Human gullibility will always be with us. Belief in false promises will never disappear. Even intelligent people can be fooled. The political system needs to be constructed to deliver a reasonably fair outcome, regardless of our natural human weakness.
The Father of quality control, W. Edwards Deming, said that if a group of assemblers consistently made errors in manufacturing, the assemblers were not to blame, but the system that allowed the errors to occur was. Human beings are imperfect. Design the system to work despite the imperfection of it's members.
If you can design a system that works fairly despite humanity, then I'm interested. But I haven't seen one yet.
I'm not sure if any design can cope with the apathy that we currently have in this country. But I would at least attempt to separate corporation and state by a constitutional amendment.
Limiting political contributions to 1% of the median U.S. income ($270 currently) per person or entity, per election year, and limited to their respective locality.
Do you see you any flaws in this proposal, and do you have any ideas that might also work?
First, it would depend on how much it costs to provide and disperse accurate information across the country so that everyone HAD a fair chance to review it. Would $270 per person actually result in that amount? What if one side has more people that contribute to support their candidate? How do you make it "fair"? Would the candidate who could help the "poor" the most lose because his target group couldn't afford to support him? In Presidential elections, the whole country is the "respective" locality.
Second, I believe people should be able to donate their money to whomever, and whatever cause they want to. If I have a huge amount of money that I want to donate to a candidate that I strongly approve of and support, who should have the right to tell me I can't give it to them? I believe that WAYYYYYYY too much money is spent on campaigning. It's obscene. But I don't want to impose limits in one area that might result in limiting other areas (charities, other civil issues). Allowing laws on one thing, most often leads to laws in similar areas, and that ends up hurting far more people.
150 million voters @ $270 is $40 billion dollars. $2 billion was spent in the last presidential election for Obama and Romney.
If one candidate has more contributors than another, I don't know of a way to correct that unless we used a public funded system. But either one of these systems would be better than the present one.
The main problem with donating any amount you see fit is that it gives the wealthy an unfair advantage over those who don't have much money. Surely you can see the result of that kind of thinking in the current system.
No matter what the "wealthy" are paying for, the people of this country each get ONE VOTE. Period. Unless they are lying, manipulating, and defrauding the system.
150 million people? Half of them didn't even vote. And of the ones who did, how many of "the poor" can afford $270 bucks?
Obama is supposedly the candidate "for the poor and disenfranchised" and his campaign OUTSPENT Romney almost 2-1. According to your theory, then the wealthy gave Obama an unfair advantage and BOUGHT him the office of President.
One vote per person? Sheldon Adelson got more than one. He didn't spend tens of millions because he likes to play fair.
Close to 130 million votes cast. Even the poor can afford $10-$20 a month.
According to these figures Romney outspent Obama by 10%.
Obama raised more money. Obama spent more money. Romney had less debt and ended up with more cash on hand.
And if it's 10% then they were awfully close to being "equal" weren't they?
How many times did Sheldon Adelson vote? Why isn't he in jail if he committed voter fraud?
The poor can afford $10-20 a month? When they are relying on government subsidies to survive, what on earth makes you think they have "spare" money?
Approx 94 million Americans didn't vote last year. That's MORE than either candidate earned by a long shot.
$2 billion was spent and you're suggesting spending $38 billion MORE than that?
"First, it would depend on how much it costs to provide and disperse accurate information across the country so that everyone HAD a fair chance to review it. Would $270 per person actually result in that amount?"
Yes, the $40 billion figure is greater than the $2 billion spent. Don't forget local, state, and other federal elections.
"Obama raised more money. Obama spent more money. Romney had less debt and ended up with more cash on hand. And if it's 10% then they were awfully close to being "equal" weren't they?"
Why argue with yourself?
"The poor can afford $10-20 a month? When they are relying on government subsidies to survive, what on earth makes you think they have "spare" money?"
Obama received 33% of his money from small contributions of $200 or less. $233 million worth.
"Approx 94 million Americans didn't vote last year. That's MORE than either candidate earned by a long shot."
How many of the people who didn't vote were actually casting their vote for none of the above?
Really? That's a sketchy area. Do tell.
It is very simple; not original. Only those with skin in the game should have a say.
and fat people with more skin should have more game
A flatter tax rate of 10 to 20 percent across all income brackets would naturally entail richer individuals paying more taxes.
I like the tax rates & prosperity we had with our last Republican president - Ike
I am reading "The Best and the Brightest." I would like to read some other historical works from those times. Because I was born under the guiding hand of Nixon (1970) and am not familiar personally with those times.
Ike's top marginal rate was 91%
Guiding hand???
You consider multiple counts of treason by Nixon, as a guiding hand?
OMG, I don't even want to how big a hero you think Reagan was. He's another treasonous bastard.
this is what I call sarcasm.
I've never known you to show the slightest sense of humor.
Is this something new. A change of heart perhaps?
A sign of compassion?
Do you know what the two main acts of treason were?
One has just come to light recently
What were they, shooz?
4 really,
B&E, plus larceny and wiretapping, and scuttling the Paris Peace Accords, prolonging the Viet Nam war.
Nice guy, huh?
It was a mistake not to try him in the first place.
A BIG mistake.
He was impeached. And I do not believe a politician could away with that degree of tomfoolery with this degree of 24/7 info availability
Nixon resigned, he wasn't impeached.
No he wasn't.
He was not impeached, nor was he tried.
I'm not sure where you are getting this false information.
Texas school books?
But, it works so much better when you explain yourself.
OK. If I were on government assistance, then of course I would vote for politicians that would tax the rich for the sake of social programs. It is like having kids voting for more ice cream from their parents. They don't have to pay for it. It is no skin off their ass. The entitled will always vote for Santa Clause. (yes I am a Rush Limbaugh 24/7 subscriber. And I have listened to Tomm Hartmann)
You do realize that without a high increase in the minimum wage you will never see those so called entitlements removed from federal law.
I believe the Republicans would have a winning strategy if they would fight to see the minimum wage increased in proportion to the welfare that they cut. The fact that they don't address both ends of the imbalance shows that they don't care what is best for America but only fight for what their donors demand.
Besides, if you don't address the wage imbalance when you cut the social safety net, all of the money you save will have to be diverted to law enforcement. And that my friend is some real speak.
I like your idea about everyone paying taxes but, again, if you don't address the wage imbalance, you will never see it come to fruition. How are people who work forty hours a week, probably on HUD, and collect food-stamps supposed to part with ten percent of their wages?
what I am envisioning will probably take years, if not decades. I would like to see children taught the wisdom of paying their own way, preparing themselves to their utmost to have as much of a head start as possible when they enter the world, in my workplace, I deal with up to 3 generations on government support. Education, and the knowledge that everyone has the power to move as far as they wish needs to rule the day. Minimum wage jobs need to be ultimately reserved for those in school or as a temporary means to earn money over the summer.
That is one lofty dream.
Have you taken a class on or are you familiar with human nature?. You would be surprised to learn how many American jobs pay minimum wage. Human nature dictates that when men are left to their own devices they will endure the least amount of pain. And paying someone the least amount that they can get away with for the longest period possible is not that uncommon. It would be nice to pay for ones own way. But one needs to be reimbursed fairly for ones labor.
What social programs are we referring to?
Really? Peter Peterson fan, are you?
Again, I am showing my ignorance. I do not know Peter Peterson. I do know that health care costs need to be controlled and I do know that Medicare and Medicaid budgets need to be reigned in; and on the recipient side for a change.
why should an American pay $10 for an American pill in America if a Canadian can buy the same American pill for $1
Our medical care costs too much
After that, you can explain to me how we are all on the same side.

CARTHAGE, MO.--- University students reveal a tool to improve the Carthage park system. Carthage Mayor Mike Harris looked at the latest visioning plan for their park system. Several Drury University students presented their ideas after a six month study.
"They looked at the city as a whole and they included some areas that we haven't included in the park system, but are going to in the future, like walnut bottoms," said Mike Harris, Carthage Mayor.
The nearly 200 page study revealed ideas on how to add to the city park's system such as pocket parks.
"Small neighborhood parks that would tie a neighborhood together. Another thing they are interested in is a trail system, tying all of our parks together," said Harris.
The study suggests ways to improve current parks, like adding a nature center at Kellogg Lake.
"Canoeing, using the Spring River waterway, there would be outdoor classrooms and conservation areas and small ampitheater," said Harris.
The mayor says the idea of "smart growth" mentioned in the study appeals to him, of which there are several advantages, like lowering the cost of transportation and public safety.
"That would be that we would expand within the city and maybe rehab areas that would need it and not make the city any larger," said Harris.
The mayor says they plan to look into these ideas and the others suggested by the students.
"This is a long-term plan, it's not something that we can do immediately, but we are going to use it as focus as we move forward," said Harris.
The mayor says they'll talk with the Public Services Committee on how to move forward with the plan, and decide what their early priorities will be.

Mark Caserta: GOP should return to health care message
As the shortcomings of Obamacare emerge, now is the time for the GOP to get back on message regarding its plan to provide accessible, affordable healthcare to all Americans.
Folks, if Obamacare is such a great proposition for America, why the need to force individuals to purchase it or be penalized financially? It's very simple. Without everyone's participation, it wouldn't be financially viable. Government-run healthcare epitomizes the socialist ideology of Barack Obama. The president is simply executing his "inadvertently" expressed intention when he told Joe the Plumber, "...when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
Unfortunately, that's socialism.
The push for increased government involvement in healthcare dates back over 100 years, when presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt, campaigning on the Progressive Party ticket, called for the establishment of a national health insurance system modeled on what had already been established in Germany.
But in America we deserve and demand a choice.
Indeed, rising healthcare costs have had a catastrophic impact on Americans and our economy. But the choices legislators have made in regulating the industry have not helped in providing affordable healthcare. And political "jousting" has depreciated the narrative far below the interests of most Americans.
It should be objectionable to all Americans that the first path Democrats chose to reform healthcare was to provide the government power to "mandate" its purchase without first pursuing other options to improve its accessibility and affordability.
The U.S. Census Department says about 15 percent of Americans needed health insurance prior to Obamacare. Logic suggests first attempting to make insurance more affordable for those Americans before revamping the entire healthcare system!
Early on, the GOP offered some viable solutions which would help make quality healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone including those with pre-existing conditions.
It begins with allowing Americans who like their healthcare coverage to keep it while giving all Americans the freedom to choose the health plan that best meets their needs and ensuring all medical decisions are made by patients and their doctors -- not government bureaucrats.
Eliminating the barriers of purchasing health insurance across state lines would create healthy market competition. Individuals and families who reside in one state would be able to purchase affordable health insurance from another. Likewise, health insurance plans would be able to sell their policies in all states, just as other companies do in selling a wide variety of goods and services.
Comprehensive medical liability reform is needed to reduce the costly, unnecessary defensive medicine practiced by doctors trying to protect themselves from overzealous trial lawyers.
The tax code should be adjusted to fairly extend tax credits to those who do not have employer-provided insurance but purchase health insurance on their own. The deduction would be equivalent to the cost of an individual's or family's insurance premiums.
These are but a few of the options the GOP once clearly articulated.
It's time now for Republicans to return to focusing on real healthcare solutions and allow Obamacare to be exposed.
By 2016, many more Americans will be listening intently to your message.

Ive found friends on ere that mean as much to me as my real life friends :-)
I found a true friend on EP. We've been friends for two years.
People mostly have good intentions and want to make friendships that grow into true, trustworthy ones. However, this takes time, and nurturement, and often a lot of us have many other distractions and are unable to do justice to new relations... a lot of people give up at the first hurdle, not realising misunderstandings are part of relations and people grow stronger for them. People who can find friends who are true and can stick by them are lucky indeed.
im not really looking for anything i think if u set out withthat thought it prob wont happen
I was brought here to help me heal. I have found a few wonderful, true friends along the way.
No Game, honest answers and responses to real questions, fantasies, and any other adult conversation I can find. I also love beautiful women, and all of you are so damn good looking I can't help being inclined to steer toward sexual fantasy but that is normal and some of you love it.... I am open to any and all conversations, I love it!!
I'm not a gamer in the least, & I dote on true friendship.
I think a friend is someone you randomly stumble upon, not someone you search for. But then again, I also think a true friend is earned and not found...
Every body needs a true friend. But our life is such we hardly find such friends either online or in our routine. Everybody has some expectation. OH....!

The increasing popularity of fixed indexed annuities
By Jason Kestler
Kestler Financial Group, Inc.
If you want to move your money to a place where there is safety from market losses, plus the prospect of decent growth potential, and the assurance of a guaranteed income stream, a fixed indexed annuity is where you will find that combination of features and benefits.
The insurance industry first introduced fixed indexed annuities in the mid-1990s, and sales of these products have increased steadily ever since as consumers have become more aware of the benefits of these products.
(in billions of dollars)
Source: "Real World Index Annuity Returns," published by the Wharton Financial Institutions Center.
Why have fixed indexed annuities become so popular? It has everything to do with how you, as a consumer, are feeling and the choices you have to make with your money.
A fixed indexed annuity is merely an insurance product where you can store your money and have it grow at a guaranteed, fixed interest rate or at a potentially higher rate based upon a portion of the performance of an outside index, such as the S&P 500 Index. So, annuities can be an additional option, a complement to the places where you store your money, just like products offered by banks, securities brokerages, and mutual fund companies.
However, annuities offer features and benefits that many other financial vehicles do not offer. In the past, if you have chosen products that don't contractually guarantee the safety of your principal, chances are you may have taken a pretty big hit to your value in recent years. That has caused a lot of people to look for a safer place to put their money today as well as plan for and position themselves to be better prepared for the next market correction.
Unfortunately, if you look to traditional guaranteed interest rate products, you may find unattractively low interest rates.
So what you want is a place where you know your money is safe, and by safe, that means you want it protected by contractual guarantees from market losses, not just a hope and a prayer. But you also want a place where you can receive a decent rate of interest over time. In addition, if retirement income planning is one of your primary goals, you want to know in advance what your minimum predictable stream of income will be.
That's exactly what you will find when you look at fixed indexed annuities. And that's why sales of these annuities have been increasing year after year.
If you want to move your money to a place where there is safety from market losses, plus the prospect of decent growth potential, and the assurance of a guaranteed income stream, a fixed indexed annuity is where you will find that combination of features and benefits. In a fixed indexed annuity, you will not lose any principal when the next market correction occurs.

Kardashian Sisters Sued for $75 Million
Now, the Kardashian sisters are the ones feeling the pain. Kim, Kourtney and Khloe, as well as their mother, Kris Jenner, are all being sued to the tune of $75 million by Revenue Resource Group for breach of contract.
The lawsuit claims the famous trio signed a two-year agreement, and the company wants them to pay for bailing on their promise to endorse the shady card. A lawyer for RRG told E! that the terminated deal, plus the negative publicity that ensued, has "effectively put this company out of business."
In RadarOnline's report, Pamela Banks of the Consumers Union explains the backlash about the debit card and the Kardashians' implicit endorsement of shopping beyond one's means. "Tying a card to someone who is famous or wealthy can get more consumers to say, 'I want to be more like the rich and famous.' ... But prepaid debit cards do not have the same protections that traditional debit cards have, and often have hidden fees that eat away at their value."
Indeed, once the government launched an aggressive investigation in November into the plan's "draconian" fees (the card reportedly cost up to $99.95 to purchase, $7.95 per month to use after the first year, $6 for customer service calls and up to $500 in penalties for lost cards) the Kardashians cut ties with the company.
Many fans who look up to the Kardashians aspire to their glam lifestyle, but the sisters seemed to realize too late that associating themselves in this struggling economy -- or any, for that matter -- with a punishing debit card was a pretty daft decision.
The new lawsuit seeks whopping damages, and it's not as if Kim, Khloe and Kourtney needed more bad news. Their fledgling fashion empire was on very shaky ground at the end of 2010 with Bebe hinting at ending its partnership with the reality TV stars. A New York Times columnist slammed the sisters' Manhattan boutique, Dash, in December. "Dash is a fashion desert," wrote columnist Jon Caramanica. "As in most theme parks, there wasn't anything worth carrying away but memories."

You would think that they would have lawyers to pre-read their contracts and vet the products they want to endorse.
Whether they were cheap or stupid, this will cost them big, even if they win the suit.
- Saturday 08 JanuaryBy Msmich
I'm sure their lawyers did check it out and they didn't care what it was going to cost people. When the real deal came out and they got slammed for it, that's when they decided that maybe it was going to make them look bad, and they decided to pull out.

Plus they're not skanks, one's married, the others in a relationship, and the third ones single and not looking hello how skanky NOT! Get over yourselves haters!
This show can teach us that you put your best face forward and be confident that's what they are, and also they are great at business, and they're not perfect but no one is but they are great people and have worked very hard to get to where they are.
I personally look up to these three girls, because they are just wonderful people and very honest with themselves, they make me feel like I can be great too :).
About the law suit... crap happens. Learn from it move on. They'll be alrite :).

How sad that anyone would even want this card. The skank sisters knew the terms of this prepaid card, they just thought their fans were too stupid to read the fine print and would never catch on.

In addition they were targeting teenagers for these cards
- Saturday 08 JanuaryBy David
I think it was the sisters that were too stupid to read the fine print and now they will pay thru the nose for their breach of contract. Seems to be an open and shut case against the Kardashians.

I agree with the majority of thoughts about these people. Why they wish to degrade themselves for the benefit of money is beyond me. They're nothing but a bunch of nasal nosed whiney nothings. T.V. execs should be ashamed that they aren't in the forefront of intelligent productions.
Let's get rid of the filth being shoved down the noses of young innocent people. These people are without any doubts the epitomy of bottom feeders.
You are absolutely right in your description of "bottom feeders", and why is itthat the networks think this is entertaining? Shows like this are laughable. These skanks, along with mama skank, are gold-diggin' P.O.S.'S that go anywhere and will do anything for money. Disgusting that our youth are actually trying to emulate them! Sad!

Quote IslandGirl33: I'm sad for Lante but we all knew this was coming.
Although I'm not a Lawyer, I have no doubt in my mind that the law would be on Spixie's side. I would be shocked otherwise!
I too am not a lawyer but agree with you that Maxie and Spin will most likey get "their" baby back. Also, when girls put their baby in an open adoption, they have the legal right to back out once the baby is born. I would think this is no different. Sad that it came to what it did but since the secret is out I hope the "real parents" get their baby.
Although I love Marci Rylan I am not a big lulu fan. Sha has always been a little too over the top for me. When she slapped Maxi and accused her of being selfish all I could think was "you let your best friend(you know the heart transplant recipient) put her own life at risk in order to give you what you want" and you call her selfish?
I just hope Lulu doesn't try to skip town with the baby. She really needs Laura, Luke and Tracy to talk some sense into her. Dante is not getting through to her on his own.

It may seem like a distant memory now, but at the time 1984 was a very foreboding year. Whether in the dystopian George Orwell novel of the same name or the punk rock exploitation thriller Class of 1984, it had ominous connotations and the reality of it wasn't much better. The threat of nuclear war between The United State and The Soviet Union hovered in the air, especially that summer when U.S. President Ronald Reagan glibly joked "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." Reagan was the perfect And the soundtrack to such a bleak year, from Zurich, Switzerland to California's San Fernando Valley, was heavy f**king metal.
1984 was an important year for heavy metal music which had been gaining commercial ground and going from artistic strength to strength since the late 1970s. Well-established acts like Judas Priest, Dio and Iron Maiden were at peak popularity and releasing the last of their classic albums. Seminal metal bands Motorhead and Deep Purple returned from sojourns, both brief and extended, to remind the faithful of their enduring greatness. The genre made significant inroads in the charts as well as glam-metal bands like Ratt and Twisted Sister released their biggest albums, supported by widely seen music videos on the upstart cable channel MTV.

How long to cook Pork Roast-quick help please
Its a 4lb. pork roast, so on what heat and what should the tempature be on the inside?
Pork what? Loin, leg, or shoulder? If it's loin, and if it's at room temperature when I start, I always pull it out when it hits 155º, because I'd rather have it pink than dry. There are those who freak out at this, of course...
Leg or shoulder can be roasted, too, though I prefer to pot-roast (braise) these. A small boneless shoulder butt can be browned in a Dutch oven along with some chopped onion, a cup or rather less of white wine or stock poured in, lid put on, and it'll cook very nicely at that 20 mins/lb. rate.
Whatever you cook and however you do it, a good rubdown with coarse salt and black pepper beforehand helps a bunch.
re: Will Owen
Assuming it is a boneless pork loin roast, 20 min per pound would be an hour and twenty minutes, which is probably too long. I'd start checking even a bit short of an hour. Since I'm sure you will properly let it rest for at least ten to fifteen minutes before carving, the temp will coast up probably ten degrees after taking out of the oven, so I'd take it out at 145 or even 140. Agree that you want to well-coat with salt, pepper, and I'd add garlic (or garlic salt) and maybe some dried herb. Next time, I would take the time to brine it before roasting -- brining works even better wonders for juicy pork than even turkey. Finally, you needn't be at all afraid of pinkish pork -- trichinosis has virtually been eliminated and (according to a recent Alton Brown repeat) is killed at 140 anyway.
re: slowcook64
3 hours....in this case, size and shape take precedent over weight. I also suggest you cut them into two equal length roasts.

Rather than damage sales of digital albums, making music available on Spotify may be pushing more users to iTunes. That's according to one classical music label
While Paul McCartney, Adele, Coldplay, Metallica and more millionaire musicians are fearful that making their music freely available on Spotify could kill album says, one record label says it's actually seeing an increase in iTunes sales thanks to the streaming site.
Swedish label X5 says the launch of its 'Classify' Spotify app saw streams of its 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music increase by 412 percent. In turn that saw a 50 per cent spike in the album's sales on iTunes.
The bump allowed the album to top the classical chart on iTunes and reach 152 in the overall sales charts.
X5 says that its stats prove that free plays on Spotify are not preventing people from buying music to keep, but could actually be encouraging them to do so, so that they can keep the album.
CEO Johan Lagerlof says: "People use the Spotify free service as a discovery tool and then go to iTunes for buying their music. The recent sales spike for '50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music' follows the same trend we have seen in Sweden, where there is a positive correlation between Spotify streaming and digital sales."
The Classify app, launched as part of Spotify's own desire to become the 'OS of Music' earlier this year, allows users to browse classical music, by mood, genre and era. The app seems to have made the music easier to discover and users are responding by heading over to iTunes.
Whether that would work on the youths, who're tuning in to the latest Nicki Minaj monstrosity, is a different matter altogether.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Many children in Israel live below the poverty line with one in three children affected.
The OECD average of child poverty is 13 percent; Israel is in last place of the OECD rank. Around 750,000 children in Israel are affected by poverty, mostly among the Arab and ultra-Orthodox communities.
In general, the larger a family is the higher the probability that they will be affected by poverty. According to the Israel National Children's Council's 2014 report, almost half of all families with four children and 60 percent of families with five or more children were classified as poor.
Israeli children look forward to Purim all year. Dressing up and making noise are important parts of the holiday.
Purim is a holiday for children. Israeli children dress up and go around giving gifts Mishloach Manot to friends, as well as going to the synagogue to hear the Megilla (the story of Esther) and later joining in the festive meal.
Help Israeli children celebrate this festive holiday and purchase a Purim Treat for Children.

Embarrassing School Physical; Third Grade.Does anyone remember their school physicals from grade school? In my home country, we used to have at least one every year (2 if we were having a sports check up). Ours could be really embarrassing, because we sometimes had to take our examinations in the same room as the boys.
Here's how it worked. Between the grades 1 and 3, we were ushered in two lines into the changeroom, where two nurses got us ready for our medicals; girls on the right side and boys on the left. This was where things started to get embarrassing. The boys only had to remove their shirts and singlets, but we had to stripp all the way down to our panties. I'm not exactly sure why this was, but I clearly recall the nurse telling us to take off our vests and socks along with everything else. Looking back, I think there must have been an unofficial policy to examine the girls more closely.
There was no partition in the room at that time, so the boys got to see us undressing on the other side of the room. After we'd taken everything off, we had to fold our clothes in a neat piles and leave them on the wall side bench. It's hard to describe how embarrassing it was, standing there in nothing but our little cotton panties, waiting for the doctor to call us into the clinic. All of my friends agreed it wasn't fair that the boys got to keep their most of their clothes on, while we had to mill about in our underpants.
When the doctor (Roberts, I think his name was) was ready to see us, the boys sat down on the left side while the girls were told to line up and wait their turn. The "clinic" was at the far end of the changeroom, a brightly lit space with a table, some chairs and a set of scales. There was also a folding screen next to the doctor's chair, in case anyone needed a more "thorough" examination.
I have extremely vivid memories of my third grade physical, because we were at that age when we were getting self-conscious about our bodies. Like most of my friends, I was blushing to my hairline and trying to hide my underpants by crossing my hands in front. A couple of girls picked up their vests and tried to hold them around their waists, but the nurse told them to stop being silly, and made them wait with their undies on open display.
By now, you're probably wondering what kind of panties we were wearing. Back in those days, there were no thongs or g-strings for little girls, so most of us were wearing plain cotton full briefs. The majority wore pastel-colored knickers with elastic waistbands, while a few of the "older" girls had floral prints with a little pink bow at the front. I was wearing white cotton pants with a picture of Strawberry Shortcake on the bottom (I remember this because they were my favorite pair). One of my friends, Katrina, had on a pair of bright red nylon briefs that shimmered under the lights every time she moved. Naturally, she stood out amongst the crowd, and was the subject of playground discussion for the next few days.
Over the next fifteen minutes or so, Doctor Roberts called us up to his table one by one. When my turn came, I walked up to the scales in my snowy white panties, feeling every eye in the room on me. My tummy was fluttering with butterflies, and for a while I felt like I was watching myself from a different perspective (this used to happen to me a lot when I was young). Stepping up onto the scales, I held my arms up in the air while one nurse weighed me and the other took my measurements. My heart was literally pounding against my chest, because my entire body seemed to be completely on view, as if I was stark naked. I wasn't really, of course, but that was how it felt.
After the nurses had finished with me, the Doctor asked me my name, then checked it off on his medical form. I instinctively went to cross my hands in front again, but he told me to hold them by my side while he checked my breathing (it's odd how a stethoscope always feels cold, no matter how many warm little bodies it touches).
He asked me numerous questions during the examination, mainly about my family and general health, instructing me to turn round while he examined my spine. I practically fainted on the spot, knowing that I'd be facing my entire class at that second. It's strange: I suspected that worse was yet to come, but seeing everybody staring at me in my fresh white knickers was embarrassing beyond all desc
For some reason, my examination went on much longer than anyone else's. Completing the preliminary physical, the Doctor got me to perform some flexability exercises. At one point, he made me bend over and touch my toes, revealing my pantied bottom to all and sundry. I must have been blushing from heel to crown by that time, knowing that my panties had been viewed from every possible angle. When he instructed me to spead my feet as wide as possible and place my palms flat on the floor, my pristine white gusset went on display to the whole wide world. Treacherous giggles bubbled up from the girls' side of the room, even Katrina of the Red Pants was snickering to herself.
Having humilated me beyond human endurance, Doctor Roberts then proceeded to examine every inch of my body with a magnifying scope, fine-combing his way over my neck, back, chest, thighs and stomach. He even looked into my tummy-button, turning my waistband down at the front to get a better view. To this day, I have no idea what he was looking for or what he expected to find. Whatever it was, it was the most comprehensive medical I'd ever had up to that point. When he finally finished (after what felt like half a million years) he made another note in his report and sent me back to the girls' line.
Walking across the room in my bare knickers, that strange, disembodied sensation swept over me again, twice as strong as before. I could actually see myself pattering over the floor, a sleek, plump little girl with long blond hair and deeply dimpled bottom cheeks. My belly seemed to be melting with warm, liquid heat. It seemed so terribly unfair; none of my friends had spent so much time in their panties, parading about before half the third grade.
I brushed shoulders with Katrina at the half-way mark; it was her turn with the Doctor, and she looked even more reluctant than I'd been ten minutes before. Her bottom jostled along in tight little circles, highlighted by her glimmering scarlet panty-pants. I wondered how long she'd be under the stethoscope, breathing a sigh of relief that my ordeal was over.
Well – not exactly. For some inexplicable reason, we weren't allowed to get get dresssed again until the last girl had been examined. There were at seven more girls to go, meaning that the free show would continue for at least the next twenty minutes (if not more).
Well, that's the story of my third grade physical. From the fourth grade on, we underwent segregated examinations, but they turned out to be just as harrowing (especially our sixth grade physical, where some of us were measured up for signs of "maturity") I have plenty more tales from my misspent youth, please leave a message if you'd like me to post more.
Interesting that the girls had to get undressed and the boys did not. I remember situations where that was reversed. One summer at camp when I was little there was just one swimming instructor who was male. Now the boys and girls had separate swimming lessons, so the rule was that the boys could swim naked if they wanted, but the girls had to wear something, either a swim suit or their underwear. Us guys all thought it was cool that we could swim naked, so most of us did.
well its not really the same cuz its not done infront of the opposite sex
OMG wow this story is intense
Of course we want to hear more! These are very hot stories. I probably would have been the one boy who also ******** to his underwear had I been in your class.
The good news is that you write very well.
The bad news is that what you describe strikes me as seriously inappropriate behaviour by the school authorities. In my country, schools do not examine the bodies of students. About 10-15% of the students in the schools my daughters have attended, have been immigrants, some of them Moslem. These facts make what you describe utterly impossible.
Yes, please do!
Wonderful story of childhood and the attendant humiliations. "Treacherous giggles" - wish I'd written that.
Love the vivid descriptions and how you open the sensations and the feelings for all of us... I appreciate it....
Great story, and very accurate, as you describe it exactly as my 3 sisters described it to me all those years ago! Thanks for bringing back the memories!!! - MW
I am shocked to hear that the exam was not segregated. I understand how embarrassing it must have felt to be so exposed with the boys seeing you in just your knickers. I am sure you also got a lot of taunting from the other kids after your special exam. Thank you for sharing.
I love the degree of detail in your story. Very well written. I can litterally feel that a pre-sexual excitement is mixed in the self-consciousness of an underage girl humiliated and exposed like that. I find the procedure utterly abusive, but yet: very sexy. Did that spark your interest for CMNF in your later life?
In adolescence one is conscious n self-conscious about one's body. It was a great childhood that you had, I wish I had such.But I think the school people n the doc was intentionally cruel on you girls,LoL.

Anyway all those are past n now you are stronger n playful !

Very well-written experience , factual n frank n you truly expressed your feelings.Lovely.Please share more.

Love n Hugs

(Please add me to your circle)
Childhood memories often are a great read but this one is wonderful. Thanks for sharing it!

when nothing seems to go right.
This morning, bright and far to early, karen and I set out for IKEA to get some much needed furniture for the new classroom. After a quick cuppa (and of course a bun) we went around the store picking out what we liked.
As you would expect, when we went to get it, none of it was there. We then spent many hours waiting for forklift trucks and elusive staff before we managed to get what we needed.
I won't go into great detail but we didn't get back to the shop until 6pm just in time to prepare for the evening class. What a nightmare and to top it all poor Kerry is not any better and ended up at the hospital again this evening. She's now back home safe with Karen who is doing her nursing bit and making her comfortable.
Hope you feel better tomorrow Kerry. We all wish you a speedy recovery.

Heat locking in on Finals, not what summer bringsBy TIM REYNOLDS
The Associated Press | June 03,2014MIAMI For the Miami Heat, its all about June.
July can wait.
Four years ago, when LeBron James uttered that now-infamous phrase not two, not three, not four, not five ... about how many championships he hoped to win with the Heat, it was almost immediately turned into a punch line. It rings prophetic in some ways now, with the Heat back in the NBA Finals for a fourth consecutive season.
How the Heat fare against in their NBA Finals rematch with the San Antonio Spurs might dictate what happens in July, when James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade can become free agents if they choose. A looming offseason of decisions has been a taboo subject for the Heat Big 3 this season, and Wade insisted Monday that Miamis stars have not said a word to each other about what may or may not happen.
Im not lying, Wade said.
Still, as long as Miami keeps winning, it seems logical the Big 3 will stay together.
I want to come back. Thats OK to say, I think, Bosh said Monday after the Heat finished their first workout in preparation for the NBA Finals, which begin Thursday in San Antonio. I cant speak for anything else and I dont want to take away from the subject at hand, but I like it here. Its Miami. Enough said. People are dying to get here.
Regardless of the outcome of this Heat-Spurs series, there will be changes to the Heat, which is an annual rite for just about every team. James, Wade and Bosh can all opt out of their current deals. Shane Battier is retiring, Ray Allen may think about doing the same, while Mario Chalmers, James Jones and Rashard Lewis are notable free-agents-in-waiting.
Its not just the Big 3 who arent thinking too far ahead, yet.
Allen said no one in the room is looking past anything but this series especially with the Spurs Tim Duncan saying San Antonio will get it done this year after falling short against the Heat last season. But as James noted, both teams have their own motivation.
Thats the great thing about having veterans, Allen said. Nobody worries about whats not here yet.
Winning a third straight title could make some of those stay-or-go decisions pretty simple. And Wade believes Miamis legacy has been secured.
Whenever its all said and done, the legacy of this team, its going to be a great team, Wade said. Its going to go down in history as an unbelievable team not only in South Florida but in NBA history.
Given that, its easy to see why so much attention gets paid to how long this team can stay together.
Bosh, Wade and James all made it very clear in September that they were not going to let the summer of 2014 turn into the circus that the summer of 2010 was, when all three became free agents and decided to bring their talents together.
Entering the season, James said that his teammates understand where I stand regarding the future. And on Monday, James said he wasnt going to let himself be distracted by thinking about what impact the result of these NBA Finals will have on the legacy the Heat have created over the last four seasons.
No, because I live in the moment, James said. Its almost the same with my individual accomplishments. I never really understand them. The only time Ill be able to appreciate it is when Im done playing the game. Im in the moment. I dont even think about it.
Bosh was the last player off the practice floor Monday. And when the conversation turned to what happens after these finals, he was reluctant, he said, to think about anything beyond Game 1 on Thursday night.
Its difficult enough concentrating on trying to get back to this point, let alone trying to win it, Bosh said. Weve done that before. All of us made a lot of mistakes in 2010, which is going to happen because that was our first time being in it. But now, not only are we vets in the league, with playoff experience, we know what to expect.
What decisions to expect this summer, thats another story.
We still dont know, Battier said. Its hard to explain with our group. We have a bunch of guys that sort of go with the flow. I think when the Big 3 signed here there was talk of legacy and there was talk of history. Thats all academic at that point. Once you put the uniform on its about competing your tail off and putting yourself in position to win, which we have.MORE IN Wire SportsSAN RAFAEL, Calif. St-riike! ...

Virtualization – A Feature of the OS, or a New Platform?
• • 0 Comments
Microsoft and Red Hat has just announced that they have completed the certifications of the cross OS hypervisor agreements that the companies originally announced back in February of 2009. This means that Microsoft now certifies Red Hat Linux guests on Hyper-V and Red Hat certifies certain Windows guests on KVM. Red Hat has an excellent article on its web site that details which version of which products work with which and which provides an excellent FAQ.
There is a great debate on which hypervisor vendor works with ISVs and which do not. You have a number of ISVs working with VMware that are just now starting to work with Hyper-V. A number of ISVs that are struggling to catch up in the virtualization space. Hypervisor Vendors that are directly competing with ISVs as well as welcoming ISVs. This story is not about any of this, but about how easy is it to launch a new product for each of the hypervisors available with or without help from the hypervisor vendor. In essence, is there enough documentation, community, and code out there to be interpreted as welcoming ISVs.
While VMware is being lead by two executives, Paul Maritz and Todd Nielson who were instrumental in the establishment of Windows as a dominant platform, VMware is today still not acting like a true platform company. Windows became a dominant platform because Microsoft structured its business model around making the platform a success. This included a laser like focus upon the success of the platform, and an approach to partnering that is still unmatched in the industry. VMware can make vSphere into a dominant platform, but only if VMware adopts some plays from Microsoft's book.

VMware and Microsoft Race to Make Each Other Irrelevant

VMware is trying to package Microsoft Windows out of existence by allowing applications to run in guest with no OS from Microsoft or Red Hat. Microsoft is trying to package VMware out of existence by including Hyper-V for free in Windows Server, and by providing application virtualization functionality that makes virtualizing server operating systems unnecessary.

Forget Ukip - euroscepticism in France would give Farage a run for his money
2 June 2014
Britain, the arch-Eurosceptic member of the Union? Think again. France is now more committed to loathing the European Union than Perfidious Albion: it has indeed become the new stronghold of Euroscepticism. Last week, the EU election results were like none other before. For the first time since the end of the second world war, an extreme rightwing party topped a national poll, writes Professor Philippe Marliere (UCL French) in The Guardian.
