Saudi Arabia's first Eurofighter Typhoon has performed its debut flight from BAE Systems' Warton site in Lancashire, with the aircraft on track for delivery in mid-2009.
Riyadh will receive 72 Typhoons under a government-to-government agreement with the UK dubbed Project Salam. This includes 24 early Tranche 2 production Eurofighters to be diverted to the Royal Saudi Air Force from original customer the UK Royal Air Force.
Saudi Arabia's remaining 48 aircraft will be assembled at a new, purpose-built facility in Saudi Arabia, although industrial details of an expected partnership with Alsalam Aircraft have yet to be finalised.
Conducted on 20 October by a BAE test pilot, the first flight of the RSAF's single-seat Typhoon 1001 was achieved just 13 months after Riyadh signed a firm contract to acquire the type.
The milestone "marks the start of an initial test flight programme" for the export customer, says BAE. Painted in RSAF colours and carrying squadron markings, the aircraft is shown carrying dummy MBDA ASRAAM short-range air-to-air missiles and an external fuel tank.
Saudi Arabia will receive 12 two-seat trainers under the Project Salam deal, while Eurofighter industry consortium officials have confirmed that early talks have taken place over a possible follow-on sale to the nation.

A world away: Eleven years after 9/11, local public safety officers reflect on how their jobs have changed
What happened on Sept. 11, 2001 changed everyone. It ended lives and left gaping holes in three buildings, a field in Pennsylvania and thousands of families. It upended a time of relative peace and launched a nation into war. And even Americans left physically untouched by the tragedy were haunted by the images they'd seen on TV, unable and unwilling to forget.Eleven years later, for many of us, life has returned to normal. Maybe it's a new normal, as we surrender our shoes in security lines and gasp at decades-old movies where the Twin Towers still stand, but it's more-or-less normal as Americans have always known it.
This, however, is not true if you are a first responder. The business of being a police officer, a search and rescue team member, an emergency medical technician or a firefighter has changed immensely and irrevocably since that September morning. Eleven years later, from Bonita Springs down to Marco Island, first responders locally have more training, better tools and — in many cases — an even stronger commitment to their jobs than before that tragic day.
If there was anything positive that came out of 9/11, it is that it ushered in a new wave of firefighting recruits. Steve Edelsberg, a firefighter with the Bonita Springs Fire District, is a perfect example.
When 9/11 happened, Edelsberg was an appliance salesman training to become a police officer. As the towers fell, Edelsberg watched in horror and worried. His best friend from childhood, Mike D'Auria, had just joined FDNY a few weeks ago — surely they wouldn't send in such a new guy?
They did. They sent anyone they had, including D'Auria, who was filling in on his day off for a colleague with a dentist's appointment.
"It had been his dream since he was a kid to be a New York firefighter," says Edelsberg, who grew up with D'Auria on Long Island. "I decided that because he never really got to fulfill what he wanted to do, I'd do it. I promised his family that I'd become a firefighter to honor him."
So Edelsberg enrolled in the Coral Springs Fire Academy and breezed through his courses, something that hadn't been happening for him in his quest to become a police officer.
"It's funny the way things work out, when I was training to become a cop, everything was taking forever to go through. It was really slow and I was really frustrated by it," says Edelsberg. But with firefighting everything fell into place.
Before his first day of work, Edelsberg placed a photo of D'Auria in his helmet, so he'd always be with him. A few years later he added a forearm tattoo with D'Auria's badge number and the inscription "All gave some, some gave all."
"When I told Mike's mom that I would honor him by becoming a firefighter she cried, and she said, 'Don't do it for him, do it for you,'" remembers Edelsberg. "But it's the best decision I ever made, and I never would have done it if Mike didn't get taken from us, I would have been a cop."
Tracy McMillion, the fire academy chief at the Southwest Florida Public Service Academy, remembers a definite bump in enrollment after 9/11. But he adds that beyond the surge of new recruits, all firefighters are better at their jobs because of that fateful day.
"After 9/11 there was an abundance of new training opportunities," says McMillion, "and that continues forward today. Recently the FBI offered a bomb class here locally, it was a train-the-trainer type course and people really took advantage of it."
Across the region, McMillion says that he truly sees a culture of wanting to learn and improve dominating public safety sector. And one doesn't have to look too far to find examples of that. Edelsberg is currently training to become a medic, a decision he made — using his own time and money — simply because he feels it will make him more of a service to the community.
"The more medics we have, the better we can serve the community," says Edelsberg. "I just think it will help me help people and that's always been my thing. I just want to help people."
City of Naples Fire Battalion Chief Bill Moyer echoes McMillian. Moyer says that, although he's always been quick to snap up whatever training is available, after Sept. 11, the amount of training opportunities truly blossomed.
Moyer, who has 22 years of fire service to Collier County, put it like this: "There has always been plenty of training out there, but there was copious amounts of money spent on training opportunities post 9/11."
Unfortunately, to some degree, these funds have tapered as the years have gone by, says Ken Willette, division manager for the public fire division at nonprofit organization National Fire Protection Association.
"That money is no longer available on a federal level to provide support to state and local agencies. It has, in many ways, dried up." But Willette adds that many of the things taught in those post-9/11 trainings have become standard training for new recruits. And that the first responders we have here locally possess has what is probably the most comprehensive training that firefighters have ever received.
Which brings us to the other reason being a first responder has changed dramatically since Sept. 11: the range of incidents that first responders must be ready to react to is much, much broader than it was 11 years ago.
"Prior to 2001, fire meant something was burning, but that's not necessarily the case anymore. There's been a new focus on terrorism and hazmat situation training," says McMillion.
Golden Gate Fire Control and Rescue District Assistant Chief Nolan Sapp seconds McMillion's experience. A firefighter since 1978, the period after Sept. 11 was one filled with changes to a profession he's loved for more than 30 years.
"Years ago, it used to be that the fire department strictly did firefighting, when I started in 1978 that was the case. After 9/11 we turned into more of an all hazard response agency than just a firefighting agency."
Mysterious white powder? Bomb threat? Gas leak? Fire? No matter what the circumstances are, firefighters are now expected — and for the most part prepared — to deal with it.
But that still doesn't have Marco Island Deputy Chief Dave Baer at ease; he worries that the past decade of relative calm has allowed America to let its collective guard down.
"Unfortunately, events like Sept. 11 are a lot like hurricanes. Unless you have a bad hurricane here every few years, people forget how dangerous it can be. While I would never want bad things to happen, we need to remain vigilant, even as we go for long periods of time without another incident."
From a law enforcement perspective, Baer feels that Sept. 11 dramatically changed the way public safety viewed their planning. Or, at least it did for a few years.
"Right after 9/11 I think people were like, 'Wow, it really can happen here.' Before, we thought we were safe on our soil."
Baer remembers going to a slew of meetings in the weeks and months following that day, theorizing on what local targets could potentially be vulnerable and how best to protect them. And he witnessed a new era of cooperation between agencies, as local, federal and state intelligence groups tried to right some of the communication failures brought to light in the "9/11 Report."
"I think we've gotten a lot better at taking pieces of the puzzle and putting them together—so we go 'aha!' before it happens. Sept. 11 helped, I believe, to make government and public safety officials to start thinking out of the box. To think, it's not likely but it's not impossible that something like this could happen."
And there's more good news. While Sept. 11 changed the way public safety officials do their jobs, it doesn't seem to have effected their commitment to their jobs."It never, ever, made me think, this isn't what I signed up for," says Baer.
McMillion agrees, adding, "If there was a reevaluation of my commitment it only was one of strengthened commitment. Really, it just strengthened my sense of pride in what I do."

1. Passing a test
A week after Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck had a good game against Denver's first-team defense, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler had a nice game – a nightmare for Broncos fans who came to boo him. Cutler completed 15-of-21 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown. The Broncos starting defense still has not forced a turnover.

Taking a Ride There's nothing wrong with straightforward simplicity. Verdant hills, winding two-lane roads, the occasional uprooted tree, the requisite companion dog — an imagined car ride through the upstate New York countryside appears precisely as one would expect in these modest oil paintings by Peter Charlap. A professor of painting at Vassar College since 1979, Charlap brushes in the bright details of what is clearly a landscape long observed, enough that it can be re-invoked with a sense of specificity even when the narrative taking place in it is a fictional one. The show makes for a kind of Lake Woebegon effect in painting: an approach that was never novel, but that's sometimes overly cloying, waxing, by virtue of time, into a near-deadpan approach to nostalgia and (in Charlap's case) the visual plain sense of things. Through July 5 at Atrium Gallery, 4728 McPherson Avenue; 314-367-1076 or www.atriumgallery.net. Hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tue.-Sat., noon-4 p.m. Sun.
Chantal Akerman: Moving Through Time and Space An explicit treatment of film as art, this survey of two decades' worth of the Belgian documentarian's work distills the medium to two essential parts: narration and gaze. Projected and screened in truncated swatches in a dark warren of loosely partitioned spaces, Akerman's work appears as a menagerie of endless highways, anonymous passersby and the overlapping cadences of the cigarette-ravaged voiceover of the filmmaker herself. Because two of her films explore canonically familiar American subjects — the culture of the Deep South and the Mexican immigrant experience — the issue of otherness, or how someone else's perspective can transform the well known, becomes saliently relevant. How much, actually, is different when seeing the familiar through another's eyes? Complementing Akerman's work is British artist Carey Young's Speech Acts, a series of pieces capitalizing on the creative potential of call centers, telephone operators and that disembodied voice at the end of a long line that calmly leads you through the nebulous airspace of critical questions and their ostensibly revelatory answers. It's an attractive form that suggests perhaps all of us have a need for the ritual of bureaucratic help — as a kind of general panacea, with nothing actually resulting from its use. Through August 2 at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, 3750 Washington Boulevard; 314-535-4660 or www.contemporarystl.org. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wed.-Sat., 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sun.
Currents 103: Claudia Schmacke Time is rendered physical in this site-specific installation, Time Reel. Schmacke, a Berlin-based artist who was this year's Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund fellow at Washington University's School of Art, has threaded clear plastic tubing in a neat line through the gallery wall. Behind the wall, a pump throbs, pushing green water through the long-looped tubes, which subtly flinch with the water's pressure on the gallery floor. It's an eerie motion, like that of something being resuscitated or still twitching, post-mortem. While the piece, at face value, leans toward mad-scientist spectacle, with an agenda as familiar as a pop song, its dead animism thrusts it somewhere more disconcerting — into the realm of institutional critique. The tubes' fading life throes seem to suggest that all things current, strange and elusive must struggle to retain their spirit amid static and vivisecting overdetermination. Through July 5 at the Saint Louis Art Museum, One Fine Arts Drive (in Forest Park); 314-721-0072 or www.slam.org. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sun. (10 a.m.-9 p.m. Fri.)
Marcel Duchamp: Chess Master This thorough and engaging re-examination of the father of conceptual art's sudden choice to resign from making art to become a full-time chess player sees Duchamp's ostensible career change as yet another brilliant creative maneuver. Duchamp, who was responsible for some of the most formidable innovations in twentieth-century art — most resonant, the idea that choice-making itself is an artistic act — found chess to be not only a universal language but the ultimate distillation of his fundamental interests: winning, losing and fastidious strategy. The exhibition presents ephemera and art related to the artist's late years as a chess champion, chess writer, chess correspondent and chess aesthetician (even the chessboard and pieces held particular interest for Duchamp and his like-minded contemporaries), the sum of which is an elegant argument for the game's expansive and allegorical merits, as well as the boundless intellectual agility of the ever-clever master himself. Through August 16 at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art, 3663 Lindell Boulevard; 314-977-2666 or www.sluma.slu.edu. Hours: 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wed.-Sun.
Ideal (Dis-) Placements: Old Masters at the Pulitzer This exhibition of canonical canvases of slain martyrs, pious virgins and other grand dilemmas borrowed from two encyclopedic museums and replaced in naturally lit contemporary galleries is a reaffirmation of the human scale. The minimalism of Tadao Ando's building design is diffused by ornate, gilt-framed compositions that date from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, the two historical extremes meeting precisely at the fragile effects of daylight on the predominantly figural pieces. Contemplative and reverent, the show fulfills its premise so well that it seems capable of providing a discretely intimate experience for each and every viewer. Through October 3 at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, 3716 Washington Boulevard; 314-754-1850 or www.pulitzerarts.org. Hours: noon-5 p.m. Wed., 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat.

CNN Poll: Adults Disapprove of Obama's Handling of Deficit 64% to 34%
5:42 PM, Jun 1, 2011 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
CNN releases some more data from its latest poll. Obama's favorable rating has ticked up to 54 percent, but that may still be due to his "bin Laden bounce." Sixty-five percent of adults approve of the job he's doing combating terrorism and 55% approve of his handling of the war in Afghanistan. But a majority of Americans disapprove of Obama's handling of Medicare (53%), taxes (53%), the economy (58%), health care policy (57%), the federal budget deficit (64%), and gas prices (73%).
If the killing of Osama bin Laden is what's propping up Obama's poll numbers, how long can that last?

Who has the Best Prepaid Cellular Plan in the US?
Great Question…Lots of conflicting answers. With so many cellular companies out there, it is really difficult for consumers to establish which is the best prepaid cellular plan for them! That said, when it comes to the best prepaid cellular plan for you, I would recommend focusing on the best value overall centered on the following:
1. Coverage – Verizon and AT&T have endless commercials focused on coverage all over, all the time. That's simply not reality. Every cellular carrier has good coverage, almost everywhere. Focus on where you live, where you travel most frequently, and don't sweat the 1 occasion a year you travel into the boonies! Is it worth $500 a year to be concerned about coverage in Podunk, Iowa? If people live there, there will be coverage is the rule.
2. Data Plan – One of the main advantages of prepaid cellular plans is that they have a set fee for talk, text, and data. But how much data and how fast? Nearly all prepaid cellular carriers limit you on data transfer, and speed. It may well be "Unlimited" data, but at 2G speeds. If you're used to 4G and live in a Metro market, there is no comparison for speed. Choose a company with higher limits of Data transfer, and one that allows you to use 4G the largest part of the time. Most set a limit of 1-2.5 GB transfer at 4G then slow you down to 2G after the limits. See the comparison down below or watch the video on what your best choices are.
3. Price – If you don't use your cellular phone much, you may not need an Unlimited plan. My Mom uses a $30 plan and it works fine for her. However, I use 7-8K Minutes per month, 3-4 GB of Data, 1000′s of texts, and pay $49 a month! Depending on your needs, how much Data you use, read the fine print to make sure you're actually getting the most you can for your money. For $49 you could be getting a plan that includes 4 GB monthly data transfer at 4G/LTE Data speeds.
4. Customer Service – Prepaid Cellular carriers don't have a lot of customer service issues at all. Presently prepaid cellular users generally purchase phones on Craigslist or Ebay, swap SIM cards out, and keep on truckin. Cellular Phone service is a commodity nowadays and it shouldn't be a hassle. These users pay their bill, their cell phones work without issues 99% of the time so customer service isn't actually a huge deal for prepaid carriers.
Here's my list of the Top 10 Prepaid Cellular Companies in the US with a Focus on their Unlimited Plans, Data Speeds, and Monthly Cost:
1. Solavei Wireless – For $49 a Month you get Unlimited Talk, Text messaging, and 4 GB Per month of 4G Data with zero overage charges. If you go over 4GB, you simply slow down to 3G speeds. They also pay you for referrals to other subscribers, and provide you a free income generating business simply by being a customer. I'm personally earning enough to pay my mortgage in just 4 months time. Solavei uses the T-Mobile Nationwide Network so the coverage is great for me. They only have one Unlimited Everything plan, but the ability to eliminate your phone bill or make extra income, it's the best overall value in the marketplace in my opinion.
2. Straight Talk – Walmart sells Straight Talk and they typically utilize the T-Mobile Network when possible. It's only $45 a month for Unlimited Talk, Text and Data though it isn't clear on how much 4G transfer you get monthly. I believe it's 1 GB monthly of 4G, then it goes to 3G or 2G speeds. They also have a $30 Plan with 1000 minutes, 1000 Texts, and 250 MB of Data. Very good price and value, but they don't pay referrals like Solavei for the exact same thing.
3. H2O Wireless – H2O Wireless utilizes the AT&T Network consequently their coverage is extremely good for both voice and data. They also have a good variety of rate plans for all types of subscribers all the way down to $10! Their prepaid unlimited rate plan has 2 GB of Data for $60 per month, which is pretty solid for the coverage they offer. One of my favorite prepaid companies, and who I would use other than Solavei Wireless. It's a great value.
4. Virgin Mobile – The Virgin Mobile prepaid plans are some of the most diverse in the industry. They use the Sprint Network so coverage is pretty good Nationally. They concentrate on Unlimited Data on their main plans, but also have great plans for teenagers that text a lot, and emergency type plans as well. Their $55 Unlimited Plan has 2.5 GB of Transfer at 3/4G Speeds per month, and many other plans from $30-45 a month depending on what you need.
5. Simple Mobile – Simple Mobile has 3 "Simple" Prepaid cellular plans that use the T-Mobile network as well. Their best plan is $50 for Unlimited Talk, Text, and 4G Data. Simple Mobile is one of the best prepaid cellular plans for value you will find.
6. Metro PCS – I'm not a huge fan of their Coverage, but in their Metro markets they offer a decent value. Their $40 Unlimited Talk & Text Plan has 500 MB of data (not a lot), $50 Plan has 2.5 GB of Data, and $60 is Unlimited Data.
7. Boost Mobile – Boost uses the Sprint and Nextel wireless network so coverage is good. Their rate plans are reasonable, and they offer lower priced plans and shrinking payments when you pay on time. Their Android Unlimited plan includes 2.5 GB of Full-Speed Data transfer (very limited 4G coverage area) and is $55 per month. Shrinking payments aren't that big a deal. It's a very small savings imo. Their sweet spot is calls to Mexico and International dialing.
8. Cricket Wireless – Cricket Wireless uses the Sprint Network and their own for coverage in most cases though I'm not a huge fan. They have two Unlimited Talk, Text, and Data Plans for $50 with 1 GB of Full Speed Data, and $60 for 2.5 GB Full Speed. Frankly I've never been a big supporter of this carrier for coverage, and gimicky pricing.
9. Page Plus – Page Plus uses the Verizon Network so coverage is outstanding in rural markets. On the other hand, Verizon is penny-pinching with their prepaid products and the speeds are only 2G. Their $55 Unlimited Plan includes 2 GB of Data, which is "ok" but I wouldn't recommend them at all in most metro markets. There are a lot better values and much faster data speeds available. Verizon is the most affected by prepaid carriers, so don't expect them to change their opinion towards economical pricing. They will get hammered in the next couple of years in my opinion due to overpricing.
10. Net 10 – Net 10 uses both AT&T & T-Mobile for GSM, and Verizon, Alltel, and US Cellular for CDMA coverage so that is a plus. The draw back is figuring out their rates. Very confusing, and too many choices in my opinion. The Unlimited charge is $50 but for what? Website is the worst in the prepaid cellular industry. Is it 4G, 3G or no G?? Come on guys!
So that's my take on the best prepaid cellular rate plans in the US. There are many good prepaid companies out there, and more to come. Verizon and AT&T will suffer more than anyone because they have the most to lose by lowering prices. The world is shifting to prepaid folks. 80% of all wireless subscribers OUTSIDE the US use prepaid cellular plans. The fastest growing sector in the US cellular industry is in prepaid. T-Mobile and Sprint, not surprisingly, are the most aggressive carriers as they have the most to gain. It's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out in the next couple of years.

This is what you'll need:
- line laser (http://dx.com/p/red-laser-module-focused-line-3-5v-4-5v-16mm-5mw-5928?sourceSKU=46389)
-watch battery
-bare bones clock (either buy on online or take apart an old one)
-cover (I used a little plastic cover I found lying around, be creative)
-some paint
Step 1:
Step 2: Cover
Spray paint your cover and attach it to the clock. I actually attached mine to the wall independently of the clock, but either will work. If you don't trust your judgement on where the arm is pointing exactly, you can attach numbers to the wall....be creative!
You've done it! This was a SUPER simple instructable that yields an amazing result and look.

VANCOUVER -- Manny Malhotra made his decision after lunch on Saturday. He was ready to go.
Malhotra, a veteran Vancouver Canucks center, was back in the lineup for the first time since March 16, when he was hit in the face with a puck, requiring emergency eye surgery.
On a night that ended with the Canucks winning 3-2 to take a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals over the Boston Bruins, Malhotra was Vancouver's first reason to go crazy.
He drew huge cheers in warm-ups from the Rogers Arena crowd and he said after the game he had a hard time managing his emotions early on.
"It was kind of sensory overload," Malhotra said. "Just the noise, the crowd into it, all the towels waving. It was the first time I've seen a home crowd that excited in the playoffs."
After receiving a huge standing ovation during his first shift, Malhotra settled down and focused on what he does best. Winning faceoffs.
He didn't miss a beat following the long layoff, winning six of seven faceoffs against the Bruins, good for 86 percent. Even with his return and success, the Bruins won 53 percent of the faceoffs, making Malhotra's role even more crucial moving forward.
"He did exactly what we all expected," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. "That line played more minutes than throughout the San Jose series and more than in the first game against Boston. So I'm excited to have him back and I think he's only going to get better as we move forward here."
The Canucks played without defenseman Dan Hamhuis, who was injured in Game 1 following a hip-check on Milan Lucic. Defenseman Andrew Alberts was inserted in his place, and played a solid game during his 11:40 of ice time.
Alberts led the Canucks with six hits.
As for Malhotra, he finished the game with 7:26 of ice time in his first game back, blocking one shot along with his success in the faceoff circle.
But his comeback was more than that -- it provided an emotional lift for teammates.
"We were all excited for Manny," Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo said. "He's a great leader and a great teammate, great friend ... as a group we were just so excited for him that he's able to come back and contribute."

South Coast Solar was twice the price of Gulf South Solar. If you are serious about installing solar panels shop around. Get at least three quotes. I did and save $25,000. I have a 5.8kw system.
Gulf South Solar out of Baton Rouge. They were cheaper than the companies in NO. Actually the owner initiated the legislation for the LA subsidies.
I had the panels install last year. Comparing my monthly bills from the year before, the system saves me about $80 to $100 per month. I figure 7 to 8 years till the break even point with the government incentives. If someone can swing the initial out of pocket cost, they are crazy not to install the panels. There is also a bank in California that offers a one year interest free loan. I also had the battery backup installed. We can go three days without electricity or sun. The system automatically switches to battery power at any outage and you don't even notice it. With hurricanes and windstorms, candles, lanterns and bags of ice are things of the past.
The panels also have a 25 year warranty and are covered by my home owners insurance. I can monitor my system from anywhere in the world on the company's website. I just wish I could add more panels and be totally rid of Entergy and their price raises.
Actually I loved Boulet's comment about Burt and Ernie. Best show yet!
Still was miffed about the Mid City comment.

As deadline nears, Indiana lawmakers push for solutions on major bills, issues
INDIANAPOLIS - As they finalize the details of a new state budget ahead of a Friday night deadline, Indiana lawmakers say the two-year, $30 billion spending plan will include a total package of $1 billion in tax cuts.
What's left is determining which taxes to reduce.
The political question du jour is just how close lawmakers will get to giving Republican Gov. Mike Pence the 10 percent reduction in Indiana's income tax rate that he has made the centerpiece of his first-year legislative agenda.
That proposal is competing with an already-in-place corporate income tax, a phase-out of Indiana's inheritance tax, and a financial institutions tax that lawmakers hope to reduce.
The total package, said House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, will be worth $500 million per year. As for its composition, "that's still under discussion," Bosma said.
Senate President Pro Tem David Long, R-Fort Wayne, identified the tax cut as the final piece of the budget for lawmakers to hammer out. He and Bosma indicated they are near agreement on funding for K-12 education and transportation, the two other big-ticket budgetary items.
"On almost all the large issues, we're having movement," Long said.
The two legislative leaders were guarded in their comments Wednesday, knowing that they had the day and Thursday's early hours to make deals in order to allow lawmakers 24 hours to read bills before casting their votes.
"We're trying to come to a positive conclusion on all of it. Our priorities are clearly education funding – public school education funding and road funding. The Senate is very much so aligned with that, and the governor has stepped in that direction, as well," Bosma said.
Details on a host of other important measures – education and transportation funding, the future of the Rockport coal-to-gas plant, an expansion of Indiana's two-year-old private school voucher program and more – still needed sorting out, as well.
"There are a lot of things that are in flux still," Bosma said.
The answers are all expected to come by Friday night, when majority Republicans say they plan to wrap up their business and adjourn for the year.
Among the other issues that legislative leaders are still trying to hammer out:
EDUCATION: House negotiators were pushing their Senate colleagues to broaden the scope of a measure that would expand the state's voucher program, and top negotiators on both sides said they were close to a deal.
Meanwhile, Bosma said lawmakers will hit the "pause button" on Common Core education standards, launching a study before schools further implement those standards that were developed by states and are supported by President Barack Obama's administration.
And the two chambers' education chairmen – Rep. Robert Behning, R-Indianapolis, and Sen. Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn – said they had a plan to revamp Indiana's A-through-F grading scale for schools, as well.
CASINOS: Evansville's Casino Aztar could get permission to move onto the land it already owns under a gambling bill that House and Senate negotiators said they were close to finalizing.
Lobbyists for the state's two horse track-casino combination "racinos" in Anderson and Shelbyville were still trying to get permission to allow live table games at their locations, but Pence has rejected that idea.
ROCKPORT: Top House and Senate leaders were meeting Wednesday to hammer out the final details of a bill they plan to present during a 10 a.m. Thursday conference committee meeting. According to lawmakers involved in the discussions, the bill would likely send the Rockport project back to utility regulators for a binding review.

Review: Vogue Paris November 2011
If ever there was a cover that screamed "Parisienne", this is it! When I think about French beauty, I see women with flawless skin, red lipstick and seemingly little else. Arizona Muse looks natural and pretty. In my opinion, this is Emmanuelle Alt's best cover thus far, and perfectly fitting for November's beauty special issue.
The advertising has been slimmed down to pre-Emmanuelle era and that can only be a good thing, plus the advertisers are considerably more refined but that's just me being a snob! I've said it before so apologies for the repetition but Olivier Lalanne's extended agenda section is really cool. Appealing to those with varying interests from fashion, architecture, art and music, Vogue Paris opens itself up to the cultural types as well, which can only be good for sales and for those of use who want to know more.
Making a break from the recent trend of using images from previous issues, the Beauté section is fresh and relevant to today's reader; focusing on the art of flawless skin, non-invasive wrinkle treatments and highlighting make-up products. Given that we live in a time where there is so much pressure to not only look good, but to look young, and so many woman sadly going down the expensive and dangerous route of cosmetic surgery, I say bravo to Théodora Aspart for this editorial. Famed beauty writer Lili Barbery-Coulon keeps the beauty baton alight with a one-page feature on luxury perfumes starting at 150€. Well, Christmas isn't far off, is it? As I'm leaving Paris in a couple of months, I've been thinking often about what I'm learnt/discovered here and Emmanuelle Courrèges 'Plantes médicinales' is the perfect example: focusing not only on organic products, but mainly on skincare derived from plants. Pretty much everything I use from shampoo to face wash to body oils is plant-based, and I am grateful to France for that introduction. I'm helping myself and the planet. As someone who strongly believes that beauty isn't just about what you look like, it's about who you are, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article on meditation and the positive effects it can have. Though Isabeli Fontana, who stars in the editorial, need not worry.
Miss Vogue's 'De brut en blanc' is pretty. Very American and really pretty. Photographed in the US by Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer, the model's hair takes us back the Farrah Fawcett era and boy do we love it! She looks casually beautiful though why she's wearing the same cowgirl boots throughout is beyond me.
For the Christian Louboutin fans among you, Francis Dorléans give an in-depth account of the man himself. Personally, I'm not a fan of his shoes. Yes they look sexy as hell but I'm still mad about the money I spent on two pairs, which I can only wear for 40 minutes max. His shoes are so uncomfortable. Yes, I want a refund!!
As with the Agenda section, the last few months has seen an increase in the more cultural sections – cinéma and livres (books) – much to this reader's delight. I'm not going to lie, my French reading hasn't quite made it from glossy mags to hardcore literature, but the suggestions are varied and often include material published in various languages.
It takes a lot of work to ruin a Chanel suit but Emmanuelle has done just that in the opening image of 'Haute Couture', a bold and energetic editorial photographed by Inez & Vinoodh. We heart Sergio Rossi, really we do, but those boots with that suit. I think not. As the editorial goes, the images become brassier though I wouldn't complain if the embroidered Valentino gown ended up in my wardrobe. I'm curious about what others think because it seems as though Emmanuelle went through the couture collections and chose the ugliest designs she could find. That said, I like the striking, tribal-like image of the Dior dress.
To say that I'm not a fan of Terry Richardson is an understatement. I was rather surprised by his collaboration with stylist Marie Chaix, in which we see Vogue Paris regular Natasha Poly roaming around Harlem. The contrast between the rough backdrop and Natasha's poised self makes turning each page a complete delight. Natasha decked out in Donna Karen whilst using a telephone box or "phone booth" as my cousins across the Atlantic call it is my favourite. What do you think?
In keeping with the beauty theme, Arizona Muse, Alessandra Ambrosio, Natasha Poly, Isabeli Fontana, Karolina Kurkova and Hanaa Ben Abdesslem take on a different make-up styles, each from a renowned brand, as we question which appeals most to us in 'Cover Girls'. Very well done indeed.
'Plus que parfaites' focuses on what we do to achieve the "perfect" face and body as well as New York based specialist should you wish to have some work done. As I've said before, I'm totally against having cosmetic surgery myself but if I wasn't, the bruised face in the accompanying image would change my views.
Unlike previous Vogue Paris issues under the new editorial team, November's issue finishes just as strongly as it started with Kate Winslet and a very good interesting interview with Versace's Donatella. Given this month's focus on beauty, I find it fitting that Donatella should make an appearance. No offence intended but the woman has clearly had so much surgery it's hard to even imagine what looked like 20 years ago. When her brother tragically died, everybody thought she would fail. She proved them wrong and now with a (hideous) collection for H&M, the brand continues to rise. It's so saddening that she has done this to herself. Of course, when you're surrounded by spring chickens (do non-British people use this term as well?) with flawless faces and perfect figures, it must be hard to age, but it can be done. If ever there is a reason not to have cosmetic surgery, this is it. The perfect antidote to this tragic case can be found in the form of literary icon Joan Didion, and what a contrast! Turn the page and there she is: head cupped in her hands, pushing her beautiful face to the forefront, wrinkles et al. What a photograph! What a message!
Lara Stone romps around Central Paris looking her normal flawless self and yes, I am jealous!! The magazine ends with a fun 10-page 'reportage' of Vogue Fashion Night. If you weren't there, you need to see this!
With the exception of "Never Mind" – Emmanuelle Alt's editorial featuring Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovora, which I'm not even going to feature because it is mind-numbingly boring, this is the strongest issue yet and if it continues next month, I will consider renewing my subscription. Not only is the issue full of pretty, fun and cultural things, it also appeals to those of us who like to use our brains. Like many Vogue Paris regular readers, I was pleasantly surprised to see Arizona on the cover – a welcome change. I'm bored of Natasha, Isabeli and Sasha and hope that Vogue Paris will start to vary the models they use to keep us interested, and to shake things up a wee bit. Slightly off topic but I've noticed that Vogue Paris has stopped putting their models in those ugly, long claw-type nails. Hallelujah!!

Love you reviews, so carefully considered.
Paris Vogue is trying … I suppose.
Something is not yelling this is really fierce though.
Grave reservations.
26 October 2011 21:13
You're a tough audience Madeleine, even tougher than me! I hear what you're saying and the reality is that it will never be a good as it was. However, it is a massive improvement and far closer to the Vogue Paris we know and love that the initial crap EA put out. Give it a go!
26 October 2011 19:24
I've been waiting for a long time (you skipped October)! Love your review. I think I'll maybe give this issue a chance and buy it, seems very interesting.
Leaving Paris?!! Did I miss something?
26 October 2011 21:12
I ran out of time and when I finally sat down to write it, November's issue showed up. I'm so crazy busy these days that I don't even have time to read my favourite blogs. I recommend this issue – I like what they're saying about beauty and the fashion is good as well.
Oui, I'm leaving Paris probably the first week of January. I'm so excited!!
28 October 2011 15:16
I have the magazine in my hands, bought it today and I got the best cup of latte I've ever tasted in my life. Seriously!
I'm glad I decided to give this issue a chance, it's pretty solid. You weren't kidding with the mind-numbingly boring 'Never mind'! What the hell was that all about? 'Haute Couture' did nothing for me but I really liked the Harlem editorial. It has an angel in Harlem vibe, I at least started humming that song in my mind. I'm going to make an effort to read the Joan Didion piece, it'll take some dictionary use but I'll do it, haha.
OK, I'll interrogate you in Antwerp about that moving thing! Be prepared!
28 October 2011 01:27
"As someone who strongly believes that beauty isn't just about what you look like, it's about who you are…"
YES! I agree, Milla.
I am excited to buy the Vogue Paris. I want to see those Terry Richardson photos you wrote about!
Sarah permalink30 October 2011 06:43
I can't really comment on most of it given I'm not a fashion person and therefore know nothing about what you wrote. However, I did want to say that yes, people other than the Brits use "spring chicken" hahaha. Aussies use it and I think Canadians do as well-though perhaps it's an older generation thing in those countries vs a wholly British thing. Though the Aussies are more British than they care to think hahaha.
The cover is gorgeous though and so is that 2nd picture!
2 November 2011 18:25
Thank you for being in the know! Last night I was talking with a friend and I said "… and Bob's your uncle." She was confused and thought I said "and I'm going to bob your uncle" as in do the deed with your uncle. It was so funny! Language is amazing, non?
Sarah permalink3 November 2011 00:19
Bahahaha that is hysterical!! She must have been French non? Aussies definitely say that one as well, though I feel like Canucks would know it too Language is definitely an amazing, constantly surprising thing!
30 October 2011 20:35
Hi Mila,
Your writing is excellent and I enjoying reading them, especially your reviews on Vogue, Ha. But I'm done with the magazine, I bought the US September issue and the first 290 !!! pages are just full with advertising. I understand they can't do without ads, but why they fill almost a third of the magazine with it. Your right about shooting pictures of the same models, boring indeed, because there so many other good looking models. What about Harpers Bazaar, it's been a while since I bought myself a copy ?
Have a good week Mila!
2 November 2011 18:21
hello Audrey,
I know what you mean – this is exactly how the VP September issue was (for the first time ever) and I so bored by the time I got to the content. Next month will be my last VP review as I start the new year with new magazine to review… Do you prefer to read online then? I love reading in the bath so magazine are ideal.
Have a wonderful day!
2 November 2011 19:10
Hi Mila, I do love to read them in the weekend when I'm at home and most of the time in the kitchen with a nice cup of coffee. And yes me too, I just wan't to hold a magazine in my hand. So now and then I read the magazine online, but it's not the same. The same with books, have to hold them.
Can't wait for your next review!! and exciting about the reviews for next year on a new mag.
31 October 2011 15:23
Milla, your reviews are always so wonderfully written, touching on not just generality but are always very indepth … looking forward to picking up the issue … and you're right, the cover photo is beautifully classic!

Well done Milla! I want to get my hands on "Plus que parfaites"! You are warming to Ms. Alt I see. Thank God the claws are gone, yuck!!
Excellent review!
4 November 2011 15:07
love the images, really great and better editorials for sure! .. as well, still a long way to go, and follow these amazing footsteps of Carine ( just missed her over here in Berlin, pity! ) …
wishing you the best sweets! and talk and perhaps meet some time soon!

A recent New York Times article outlined some of the reasons why colleges and universities are going broke. The article says that "colleges have been on a borrowing spree as well, nearly doubling the amount of debt they've taken on in the last decade to fix aging campuses, keep up with competitors and lure students with lavish amenities."
The article pointed to the fact that Moody's recently downgraded the ratings of 22 colleges and universities and put a "negative outlook" on the entire higher education system in general. The Times argues that the poor economy has decreased endowments and created an environment in which schools can't raise their prices to make up for the discrepancy. But the economic situation is not only a disincentive to spend money on college; it has created a new reality that the entire higher education system must face if they are going to survive. Colleges and universities provide a service to their customers, and the customers expect a tangible result of that service.
As Lewis Black prophetically screams in the movie Accepted, "There's only one reason that kids wanna go to school — to get a good job with a good starting salary." Some kids to go college to expand their intellectual horizons. Some go to learn how to save the world. Most go so they don't have to live with their parents for the rest of their lives, and nowadays you need at least a Bachelors degree to get a decent job.
But, as the recent law school downfall has brought to light in the most extreme way, colleges and universities teach you how to think, not how to get and do a real job in the real world.
So, the suppliers aren't selling what the consumers want to buy. And the consumers are no longer willing to pay higher and higher prices for no promise of a substantial return. While I completely disagree with most of what Penelope Trunk writes in her article, "The Strongest Careers Are Non-Linear," she has a point when she suggests that people should prioritize their time on internships and not school. Internships certainly prepare one for a real job more than sitting in a classroom.

*Dior Homme coated canvas tote
When I first started to really like buying bags a couple years back, I was obsessed with coated canvas. A Dior Homme coated canvas bag from one of Hedi Slimane's final accessories collections for the house was actually my very first foray into coated canvas and I loved the black on black logo (*Note, the photo above isn't the actual bag I have, I couldn't find a picture, but it looks very similar to this.) Over the years I ended up getting Goyard and a few Louis Vuitton SLG's and I was intending on getting a Fendi coated canvas tote as well.
*Fendi coated canvas tote
I never ended up getting the Fendi tote because that was the year eLuxury ceased its online operations. I tried searching for the bag everywhere at Fendi boutiques, department stores, and online to no avail so I gave up.
What appealed to me so much about canvas bags was that they were perfect for everyday because they really durable, easy to clean, and fairly reasonably priced. I loved that they kept their shape over the years and were pretty resilient to scratches.
In recent times, I've been more interested in acquiring leather goods, but that's not to say I don't plan on getting any other coated canvas bags, I still have a few I like but I love the feel of quality leather in my hands. It smells so good too! First I started with a simple Marc by Marc Jacobs tote that was a runway accesory and more recently, a Proenza Schouler PS1.
*Proenza Schouler Large PS1, Givenchy Nightingale Biker bag, Balenciaga Work bag
I try and make my "bag goals" as reasonable as possible. I mostly try and get 1-2 quality bags a year. Sometimes I try and stretch it to a span of two years. Would I love to buy as any bags as I want every year? Absolutely! Am I able to do so easily? Unfortunately, not! Haha, so I try and really make sure the things I want aren't just "for now" and that they actually will be things I use for a while, if not forever.
My next two bags I want to try getting either later this year or get this coming year are a Balenciaga Work bag and a Givenchy Nightingale Biker bag. I have my messenger-style bag (the Proenza Schouler PS1) and now I want both a North-South tote, and an East-West satchel. I think my choices would make perfect additions to my wardrobe and I can't wait to get them! Yes, I know I want/have all black bags and that may seem boring but I rarely wear color and it's my favorite color. And so, the saving begins~
I'll keep you guys updated…

Like any electronic instrument, an electric bass guitar relies on its amplifier to push its sound out to the audience. They come in a few different forms, but when you need big stage-shaking power, a full-size amp stack is the way to go. Whether that means outdoor gigs or just a big venue, you'll be up to the task.
One of the benefits to buying your whole amp stack as a packaged kit is that you'll know the amplifier head is well-matched to the speakers without having to spend time researching the parts. If the head were too strong, you'd run the risk of blowing your speakers. Too weak and they wouldn't get the power they need. These stack sets come with heads that are just right for the cabinets they're paired with. On top of that, you'll have the benefit of getting up and running quickly—no need to micro-manage your parts.
As with any amplifier, these bass amp stacks may be tube-based, hybrid or solid-state. The 100W Ampeg V-4B, for example, features an all-tube amp head to give you those warm and mellow overtones. The monstrously powerful SVT-7PRO head and SVT-410HLF combination, on the other hand, uses a single preamp tube to shape the tone along with durable solid-state power amp hardware in its hybrid design. Fully solid-state bass amp stacks are a touring favorite, giving you the reliability to perform from one gig to the next without a hitch.
"How much power do I need?" That's an important question to ask when picking out a stack. There are a lot of variables that affect this, but here are some ballpark suggestions: for a small venue like a 50-seat lounge or coffee shop, you shouldn't need more than 250W. Folk musicians will find that's also enough power for a medium-sized club or auditorium that seats 150 to 200, or an outdoor gig where the front row is about 50 feet away from the cabinet. Rock, pop or jazz is going to take more power, though—250W to 750W for that 250-seat venue, and if you're playing big concert halls that seat hundreds or even a couple thousand, 400W is the bare minimum.
Once you've got the bass amplifier stack that combines the power you need with the amp head you want, you're good to go. Any of the stacks you'll find here are a good investment that will provide great sound for all of your performances, no matter your genre or personal style.

Christian Friedrich Zincke (1684?-1767), Artist
Sitter in 4 portraits
Artist associated with 27 portraits
Christian Friedrich Zincke was a German painter, active in England. He was the son of a Dresden goldsmith and trained in that profession, but he also studied with the portrait painter Heinrich-Christoph Fehling. In 1706 he moved to England on the invitation of the Swedish enamellist Charles Boit, to collaborate on a large enamel commemorating the Battle of Blenheim, a project that was never completed. Zincke continued as Boit's pupil but soon outstripped his master and set up on his own as a miniaturist. Promoted by Godfrey Kneller, he won himself a distinguished clientele and royal patronage, culminating in his appointment in 1732 as cabinet painter to Frederick, Prince of Wales.

Stuart commission to decide today whether to donate property for affordable housing
Where: City Commission Chambers, 121 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart
When: 5:30 p.m. Monday
STUART — Two weeks after tabling a vote to donate three city-owned lots for construction of affordable housing, the Stuart City Commission today will reconsider the issue, possibly voting to auction the lots instead.
"We've done our part for affordable housing," said Commissioner Jeff Krauskopf, who delayed the vote because only three of the five commissioners attended the Aug. 12 meeting. "I'd like to turn to the private-sector approach to auction it off."
Auctioning the property would bring the city money now and in the future, in the form of property taxes. That appeals to Krauskopf and other commissioners. Historically, the city has donated a number of parcels to nonprofit housing organizations that are tax-exempt.
But by selling to the highest bidder, the city would lose control over the use of properties that have been targeted for affordable housing. That concerns Maria Burger, chief executive officer for the nonprofit Stuart Housing Authority.
"We're always looking for property," she said. "Unfortunately, we don't have the funds to purchase the property. We had hoped the city would consider donating the land."
Three lots were identified as potential sites for affordable housing during an inventory of affordable home sites the city conducts every three years. Two are on Church Street and one is on 14th. The city acquired the property after homes on the sites were condemned.
Burger recently spoke at a City Commission meeting about the need for affordable housing in Stuart.
"Everybody should have the opportunity to live in a clean and safe home," she said in an interview later. "Not everybody can afford $100 a week in rental payments."
Some commissioners think Stuart will get three new affordable homes no matter who owns the land. Because the lots are small and in working-class neighborhoods, they're best suited for modest, single-family homes.
"Nobody's going to build a very expensive home there," said Vice Mayor Troy McDonald.
McDonald said he'd like to see the properties go to a taxpaying owner, although he's not sure yet how he'll vote Monday.
Mayor Eula Clarke called auctioning the parcels "a double win," but also wouldn't say how she'll vote. She emphasized the need for guidelines that will help the commission decide in the future which parcels to donate and which to sell.
"We don't have a strict element in our comprehensive plan that gives guidance on how the city meets the need for affordable housing," she said. "I will bring that up."

Gov.-elect Nikki Haley announced former U.S. Ambassador and state House Speaker David Wilkins as chief of her transition team Monday.
Wilkins, whose tenure in the House spanned five governors, is highly regarded in this legislatively dominated state, and a choice that signals Haley is serious about improving the frayed relationships between the Legislature and the governor.
Haley did not name any selections for her governor's cabinet, and wouldn't say what positions she was interested in keeping or replacing.
Also on her transition team are campaign manager Tim Peterson, who will serve as executive director, and Rob Godfrey, who will serve as press secretary during the transition. Haley also named one of Gov. Mark Sanford's staff attorneys, Swati Patel, to her transition team. Patel served as chief legal counsel for Sanford on his impeachment subcommittee meetings last December, but took a leave of absence to become a mother.
Haley said her transition team is especially important given the projected $1 billion shortfall the state faces next year and the 11 percent unemployment rate.
Haley's choice of Wilkins was immediately criticized by state Democrats.
S.C. Party chairwoman Carol Fowler said Wilkins is as "insider" as government officials come.
"We were hoping Nikki Haley had gotten the hypocrisy out of her system during her campaign, but apparently she didn't," Fowler said in a statement.
"David Wilkins' appointment shows South Carolinians that the Haley administration isn't going to be the 'movement' they were promised. The governor-elect has given the highest position on her team to one of the very same good ol' boys she campaigned against. She can't move this state forward by continuing to reach backward."
House Majority Leader Kenny Bingham, R-Cayce, praised Haley's choice of Wilkins, saying that a person needs to understand how a system works before understanding how to change it. Bingham said Wilkins' appointment to the transition team is wise.
"I think it sends a very strong message to the state of South Carolina that shes very serious about getting something done," Bingham said.

Charleston-area hospitals made millions during the recession, according to data published Thursday by the state department of Health and Human Services.
Trident Health posted the largest profit of all hospitals in the state — a total of $223.2 million between 2008 and 2011.
Roper Hospital made the second-largest amount of money in the state, $207.9 million.
During the same period, the Medical University Hospital made $71.4 million and St. Francis Xavier Hospital made $134.6 million.
Facilities in Mt. Pleasant fared the least well in the Lowcountry. East Cooper Medical Center posted a $49 million profit during the four-year period and Roper St. Francis Healthcare's Mt. Pleasant Hospital, which opened in 2010, lost money — $11.9 million.
"This profit is after accounting for depreciation and the cost of serving the uninsured," a press release accompanying the data explains.
Hospitals in the Roper St. Francis Healthcare network and the Medical University Hospital are designated not-for-profit facilities.
The state agency listed the financial information for 60 acute care hospitals in South Carolina. In total, S.C. hospitals made a $2.5 billion cumulative profit over four years.
"Given how much money taxpayers spend on hospitals through Medicaid and the State Employee Health Plan, we think it is important that the legislature, business community and general public better understand hospital financing," said Health and Human Services Director Tony Keck in a statement about the data.

In its guidance accompanying the rules, the FTC implies that subpart (c) means "those sites that, based on overall content, are likely to draw a disproportionate number of child users." Elsewhere, the FTC clarifies that subpart (c) is supposed to be good news, not bad; it says subpart (c) "create[s] a new compliance option for a subset of websites and online services already considered directed to children under the Rule's totality of the circumstances standard." Given their sloppy drafting, that's not actually what they said, but I'll take their word on it.
Thus, one way of reading subpart (c) is that it applies when a site/apps has lots of kid users even though that wasn't the operator's goal. On balance, COPPA would be better without this extra provision, but if my reading is right, I don't anticipate any shocking enforcement actions using this provision.
Accordingly, most websites and services that aren't governed by COPPA today should remain outside COPPA. Still, the FTC's poor drafting on this crucial point is inexcusable, and I hope they fix it ASAP.
Collect and Personal Information. The rules have expanded definitions of what it means to "collect" information from users and what constitutes "personal information." Personal information expressly includes IP addresses, which every website acquires by definition, and "collect" includes "passive tracking." It's not clear if merely capturing IP addresses in a server log qualifies as "passive tracking." Any efforts to personalize the experience based on IP address probably qualifies as passive tracking. The FTC has made it clear that behavioral advertising on kid-oriented sites/apps definitely qualifies.
As a practical matter, once a website/service is deemed a website/service "directed" to kids, COPPA applies in all its glory (and ugliness) because the website/service collects IP addresses or related identifiers. This especially impacts sites that currently target under-13s but don't ask users for personal information. The new rules have such an expansive definition of personal information that all of these sites are now under COPPA's umbrella. In mitigation, the rules provide a partial exception if the data collection only is done for "internal operations." Presumably this would cover storing IP addresses in server logs; it also covers some other administrative and non-ad-targeting personalization activities. In those cases, no notice or parental consent is required in advance, but even so the other obligations still apply–even if the website considers itself purely content publisher and never tries to interact with its users.
Effects on Other Third Parties. The new rules also reach more deeply into the relationships between kid-oriented websites and vendors/service providers to those websites, such as ad networks. So if you are running a business supporting websites, you might be side-swiped by COPPA because your clients are now newly deemed to be kid-directed. This is a major problem both logistically and legally. Among other things, I think the FTC has potential problems under 47 U.S.C. 230 for trying to hold online service providers accountable for other businesses' activities, but the FTC lives in a parallel universe where they (incorrectly) believe 47 U.S.C. 230 doesn't exist.
Conclusion. If under-13 kids aren't your target audience and you don't collect users' age information, the revised COPPA rules probably won't affect you. If you do collect age information, rethink whether you want to do so; and if you do, definitely make sure to bounce under-13 users.
Reminder: This post isn't legal advice. Please consult your attorney before making any decisions.
UPDATE (December 27, 2012)
1) My headline declares the new regulations a "big mess," but my blog post doesn't fully support that characterization. Instead, the post explains the mess in only one small–though crucial–corner. I fully stand by the characterization that the COPPA regulations are a big mess, but my decision not to defend the broader claim was pragmatic. It took me over 6 hours to write this post initially, and I didn't have the time (or, frankly, the enthusiasm) to do similarly time-consuming deconstructions of the many other ambiguities. I trust others will be rolling out those deconstructions over the coming months.
2) Based on responses to my post, I'm clearer that subpart (c) does not change the interpretation of subpart (a). Instead, subpart (c) provides an option to websites/apps that that subpart (a) has determined are kid-directed. I don't think subpart (c) is a very useful option because the website/app probably has to show an age verification screen immediately upon the user's arrival. (Otherwise, it's collecting IP addresses–overinclusively deemed personal information under the new regulations–from kids without parental permission). Even so, I guess more options are better than fewer. Still, I hope the FTC clarifies its language.
If your website/app isn't collecting age information (and I recommend you don't collect it if you don't need it), subpart (a) remains the crucial provision to review to determine if COPPA applies to you. The new regulations add some language to subpart (a), but I don't anticipate the FTC will use the new language in subpart (a) to chase borderline cases.
3) I've been fascinated by the press coverage typically hailing the new regulation as a "win" for kids' privacy. Perhaps that's true if all you care about is kids' privacy, but viewed more holistically, I don't see the new regulation as a clear win for kids. The new regulations provide even more reasons for websites/apps not to cater to the under-13 crowd–meaning the Internet will be less rich and resourceful to that segment of society. We saw the same dynamic when COPPA was newly enacted; the Internet literally shrunk for kids under 13 immediately after those rules went into effect in 2000 (at Epinions, we found all the self-reported under-13s and terminated their accounts). Some might lament what under-13 kids lost from that constriction, but not the FTC. They didn't have any problem with the Internet shrinkage in 2000, and I'm sure they won't have any problem with it now either.

HM Revenue & Customs has issued a reminder to submit your 2008-09 Self Assessment tax return online by the end of January, or you could risk a penalty.
The 31st October deadline for paper returns has now passed, which means you must file your return online by the 31st January deadline. If you submit a paper return after 31 October, or you file online after 31st January, you could receive a £100 fine.
When filing online, your tax is calculated automatically, you get an online acknowledgement once you've filed, and it's processed faster, so any money you're owed is repaid more quickly.
HM Revenue & Customs spokesperson Sarah Walker said:
"If you haven't yet sent in your 2008-09 tax return, you need to start thinking about it now. And if you haven't filed online before, allow plenty of time to complete the registration process - that way, you'll avoid a last-minute rush at the end of the month."
And don't forget, 31st January 2010 is also the deadline for paying any tax you owe for the 2008/09 tax year.
Help is available on the HM Revenue & Customs.
** Additional Information & Advice **
You can obtain further information about tax matters on FindLaw and HM Revenue & Customs website.
Additional help with filing your 2008-09 self assessment tax return is available from the HM Revenue & Customs Self Assessment helpline on 0845 9000 444, which is open seven days a week from 8am to 8pm.
Depending on your circumstances, however, it may be a good idea to speak with a solicitor who specialises in tax law. You can be matched with a solicitor for free via solicitor matching services, which can also help you to understand the best course of action for your situation and whether you are ready to hire a solicitor.

A variety of voices came out in support of Roma head coach Zdenek Zeman this week, as the beleaguered coach prepares to welcome Palermo.
The Czech tactician may have been semi-serious when he blamed a puddle for the Giallorossi's 3-2 defeat in Parma, but the cracks are starting to show at the capital club, who have drifted away from the European spots in recent weeks.
Director of football Walter Sabatini may have been a vocal critic of Roma's underachievement, but he remains convinced Zeman's attacking system will pay dividends.
He told Gazzetta.it: "We argue over the results on a daily basis, as well as the deals we did in the transfer market, over which everyone is divided.
"But all of these players are capable of playing in Zeman's 4-3-3."
Veteran striker Francesco Totti, who has contributed three goals so far, is urging his team-mates to buy into Zeman's philosophy.
"The team isn't working, they're not doing what Zeman wants," he told Gazzetta.it. "We're only putting 50 per cent of what he asks us to do into practice.
"We're still nowhere near to achieving what we want to achieve. It's a bad time, but we remain united and we're ready to put this negativity behind us."
A lack of consistency may be plaguing the capital club but, conversely, Sunday's opponents are being held back by a frustrating run of four draws.
The Rosanero were denied victory in midweek as AC Milan rallied back from 2-0 down, with defender Steve Von Bergen hoping for better luck at the Stadio Olimpico.
"It's true that a victory would mean a lot to us and we've come close on many occasions," he told Gazzetta.it.
"We were so close to those three points, and everyone wants to get the victory that will drag us out of the bad times.
"I don't think Roma are doing too badly. But like all teams, they have their weaknesses."
