LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., January 9, 2012 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced a new line of six VIXIA High Definition flash memory camcorders - three compact VIXIA HF M-series models and three entry-level VIXIA HF R-series models - for 2012. Focusing on the social network experience, Canon has enhanced select models with Wi-Fi connectivity, the option to capture videos in MP4 or AVCHD file format and full Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) compatibility, unleashing on-the-spot creative video sharing and still-image uploads. The MP4 file format option helps make content easier to share across mobile devices and to social networks online, while DLNA connectivity allows wireless transmission of videos to DLNA-compatible HDTVs. Encouraging users to shoot and share, the Canon VIXIA HF M52*, VIXIA HF M50*, VIXIA HF R32* and VIXIA HF R30* models have the ability to upload videos directly to social media sites such as YouTube and Facebook over a Wi-Fi network, or to mobile devices such as an iPhone or iPadi utilizing a free Movie Uploader app.
"Imaging devices are a key component of the interactive social experience, therefore, they must connect," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. "We are excited to include Wi-Fi connectivity and DLNA technology, among other new features, in our new VIXIA models that will allow consumers to easily share high-quality videos with friends and families."
Canon has included a range of features and functions to help users capture stunning video to share including improved low-light image capture, a new Intelligent Image Stabilization (IS) system and the ability to capture MP4 video recordings. Canon has included dual codec recording, giving users the option to record in AVCHD, for the highest quality viewing on an HDTV, or in MP4 format, for easy sharing with mobile devices or social networks. The new 2012 VIXIA models feature a 20 percent improvement in low-light performance compared to previous models as a result of enhancements made to Canon's HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor. The sensor boasts a minimum illumination rating of 1.2 lux, Canon's lowest lux rating to date in a consumer HD camcorder.ii Another enhancement to select models in Canon's 2012 VIXIA lineup is the ability to export content directly to an external hard-disc drive through an optional USB adapteriii for simple file sharing and archiving without the need of a computer.
Advanced Technologies and Features:
The 2012 VIXIA lineup retains many popular features that make it easy to record outstanding HD video, such as Canon's Smart AUTO mode that intelligently detects and analyzes brightness, color, distance and movement to automatically select the best of 38 available pre-set setting selections for the scene being recorded. Canon's Touch & Track feature allows users to select any subject on the Touch Panel LCD screen with their finger, which the camcorder will then track to ensure sharp focus and proper exposure. The camcorders also include built-in Cinema-Look Filters that give the look of a variety of cinematic styles by compensating for the color, gamma and other aspects of the image's quality. Select 2012 VIXIA models have Relay Recording for seamless uninterrupted video recording from one memory source to the next. When the primary recording media is full, the camcorder continues to record the scene by switching to the next memory source, so that users won't miss a moment of action.
As an integrated part of Canon's Intelligent IS, the Powered IS feature provides a higher level of compensation for subtle hand movement at the telephoto end of the zoom range. In addition, all VIXIA camcorders with built-in memory feature HD-to-SD Downconversion, which enables users to convert recorded high-definition video to standard-definition files while preserving the original HD footage. These down-converted files make it even more convenient to share video online or create a DVD. Each new model is also compatible with Eye-Fi SD Memory Cards, allowing for wireless uploading of video content to a computer, social networking site or video sharing website.
The Canon VIXIA HF M52*, VIXIA HF M50* and VIXIA HF M500* Flash Memory camcorders offer consumers stunning HD video in an ultra-sleek, compact and lightweight body, now 15 percent smaller when compared to 2011 M-Series models. Recording Full HD 1920 x 1080 video, the VIXIA HF M-series features a Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens and Canon's enhanced HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor for high video resolution, outstanding low-light performance and a wide dynamic range.
All three models include Canon's newly designed Flat Touch Panel 3.0-inch LCD screen for a large display and an improved menu system and button layout, and now also record in MP4 file format to make content easier to share across mobile devices and online social networks. The VIXIA HF M52 and VIXIA HF M50 incorporate 32GB and 8GB of internal flash memory, respectively, and feature HD-to-SD Downconversion. They also include Wi-Fi connectivity, which enables the ability to upload videos wirelessly to YouTube and Facebook through use of an iPad or iPhone app. The models also include DLNA connectivity which enables wireless access to a DLNA-compatible device. The VIXIA HF M500 records directly to a SDXC-compatible card slot. The new VIXIA HF M-series is also compatible with the new Canon WP-V4 Waterproof Case, great for vacations, underwater videography, or any wet conditions. The VIXIA HF M52, VIXIA HF M50 and VIXIA HF M500 Flash Memory camcorders are scheduled to be available in March for an estimated retail price of $749.99, $649.99 and $549.99, respectively.
The Canon VIXIA HF R32*, VIXIA HF R30* and VIXIA HF R300* Flash Memory camcorders offer the ideal combination of price and performance for the budget-conscious consumer who doesn't want to sacrifice on features such as Full HD 1920 x 1080 video. All three models, which are 21 percent smaller when compared with the R-series models from 2011, include a Genuine Canon HD Video Lens with 51x Advanced Zoom, 3.28-megapixel Canon Full HD CMOS Image Sensor, a 3.0-inch full-flat Touch Panel LCD screen, Touch Decoration, Smart AUTO and Advanced Video Snapshot. New for the 2012 R-series lineup, all three models feature Canon's Intelligent IS with Optical Image Stabilization allowing the camcorders to automatically switch between stabilization modes for optimal image quality while recording. All three models feature MP4 file format recording while both the VIXIA HF R32 and VIXIA HF R30 include Canon's Relay Recording, HD-to-SD Downconversion and Wi-Fi uploading capabilities. The VIXIA HF R32 and VIXIA HF R30 models incorporate 32GB and 8GB of internal flash memory, respectively, and the VIXIA HF R300 records directly to a SDXC-compatible memory card slot. The VIXIA HF R32, VIXIA HF R30 and VIXIA HF R300 Flash Memory camcorders are expected to be available in March for an estimated retail price of $549.99, $449.99 and $349.99, respectively.
The new Canon WP-V4 Waterproof Case helps protect any of the 2012 VIXIA HF M-series camcorders in depths of water up to 130 feet, allowing users to capture exciting HD footage even underwater. This compact and lightweight housing seals the camcorder, allowing easy on-camera operation and control for all water sports activities such as scuba diving and whitewater rafting. The Canon WP-V4 Waterproof Case is expected to be available in March for an estimated retail price of $599.

Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam Warby Karl Marlantes
Staff Pick
Karl Marlantes's Matterhorn is visceral, raw, and gripping; an exceptionally moving and insightful novel of young men at war. If you love Bao Ninh and Tim O'Brien, you can't fail to be moved by this immensely compelling foray into the leech- and tiger-haunted jungles of Vietnam.
Powerful. Words melt away, immersing me into a predator-infested jungle. Soon to be a classic.
Matterhorn is not only the best novel yet written about the Vietnam War, it's one of the best written by any American in recent memory. Engrossing, compelling, and absolutely devastating. No wonder it took 30 years to write.
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
Intense, powerful, and compelling, Matterhorn is an epic war novel in the tradition of Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead and James Jones's The Thin Red Line. It is the timeless story of a young Marine lieutenant, Waino Mellas, and his comrades in Bravo Company, who are dropped into the mountain jungle of Vietnam as boys and forced to fight their way into manhood. Standing in their way are not merely the North Vietnamese but also monsoon rain and mud, leeches and tigers, disease and malnutrition. Almost as daunting, it turns out, are the obstacles they discover between each other: racial tension, competing ambitions, and duplicitous superior officers. But when the company finds itself surrounded and outnumbered by a massive enemy regiment, the Marines are thrust into the raw and all-consuming terror of combat. The experience will change them forever.
Written by a highly decorated Marine veteran over the course of thirty years, Matterhorn is a spellbinding and unforgettable novel that brings to life an entire world — both its horrors and its thrills — and seems destined to become a classic of combat literature.
"Thirty years in the making, Marlantes's epic debut is a dense, vivid narrative spanning many months in the lives of American troops in Vietnam as they trudge across enemy lines, encountering danger from opposing forces as well as on their home turf. Marine lieutenant and platoon commander Waino Mellas is braving a 13-month tour in Quang-Tri province, where he is assigned to a fire-support base and befriends Hawke, older at 22; both learn about life, loss, and the horrors of war. Jungle rot, leeches dropping from tree branches, malnourishment, drenching monsoons, mudslides, exposure to Agent Orange, and wild animals wreak havoc as brigade members face punishing combat and grapple with bitterness, rage, disease, alcoholism, and hubris. A decorated Vietnam veteran, the author clearly understands his playing field (including military jargon that can get lost in translation), and by examining both the internal and external struggles of the battalion, he brings a long, torturous war back to life with realistic characters and authentic, thrilling combat sequences. Marlantes's debut may be daunting in length, but it remains a grand, distinctive accomplishment." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[T]he Vietnam novel has come of age, and this is a worthy addition to the genre....An engrossing chronicle of men at war." Booklist
"The battle scenes, at which the author excels, are frequent, brutal, and viscerally energetic, and the skillfully rendered dialog reveals a bunch of strangers attempting to communicate in life-defeating circumstances. In the end, there are no real victors....Obviously not a brief, cheery read, this is a major work that will be a valuable addition to any permanent collection." Library Journal (starred review)
"Matterhorn is one of the most powerful and moving novels about combat, the Vietnam War, and war in general that I have ever read." Dan Rather
"I have never read a war novel, outside of War and Peace, that created such a living, breathing hologram of all sides of any war." Christina Robb, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
"Visceral...Evocative...We feel the Marines exhaustion as they dig gun pits, carry dead and wounded comrades, and nearly die from hunger....We hear the scream of the M-16s, the thunk of mortar shells, the hammering of AK-47s and the crack of bullets. We smell the stink of fear, blood and unwashed bodies....[Marlantes] pitches us into a harrowing narrative we wont soon forget." USA Today
"I've laughed at Catch-22 and wept at The Thin Red Line, but Ive never encountered a war novel as stark, honest and wrenching as Matterhorn....By turns, this book horrified me, crushed me and beat me up, but I found it nearly impossible to stop reading. More than any living American novelist I've read, Marlantes made me feel what I already must have known: that war is worse than hell." NPR

Though it's easy for suburbanites or city dwellers to go months, if not years, without seeing a farm, the most recent agriculture census for which information is available notes that in 2007 there were 2.1 million farms in the United States. Those farms spanned 922 million acres, shedding light on the fact that while many Americans might not see farms on a daily basis, that doesn't mean the country isn't still a great home to farmland.
While farming might once have been a part of most Americans' daily lives, today the principles of farming are much more foreign to the average American. One such principle is crop rotation, a valuable agricultural practice that can even pay dividends for suburban homeowners who enjoy gardening. The benefits of crop rotation aren't only applicable to large farms, as they can help keep personal gardens healthy as well.
Crop rotation is a practice farmers employ to help their crops fight disease. By growing a variety of crops in a sequential system throughout their field, farmers are hoping to avoid the buildup of disease and pests that is common with mono-cropping, which is the practice of growing the same crop on the same land year after year after year. When rotating crops, each succeeding crop must belong to a family different from the previous crop.
Crop rotation has many benefits, arguably the most important of which is keeping pests and disease at bay. Since many pest insects and disease-causing organisms are host specific, rotating crops helps ensure these insect pests and harmful organisms cannot make a permanent home or have access to a permanent source of food. If crops aren't rotated, then the insect pests and organisms have a constant source of food, enabling them to live longer and do more damage to crops as a result.
But crop rotation isn't only beneficial to crops. Crop rotation can also promote healthy soil. Different crops have different nutrient needs, so rotating crops with different nutrient needs helps avoid the depletion of any one element present in the soil. Soil structure is often better when crops are rotated as well. Some crops are deep-rooting while others are shallow rooting. By alternating between the two, planters can break up any subsoil that might have grown compacted.
Crop rotation also offers environmental and financial benefits by reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals to fight pests. By rotating crops, planters are making it much harder for pests to thrive, without having to spend money on costly and often environmentally harmful pesticides.

The death of a 63-year-old man who was found in his car in Price Canyon Sunday afternoon is an apparent suicide, according to Sheriff James Cordova.
The car and body were discovered by search and rescue team members who were responding to a missing person report, Cordova said.
The Sun Advocate generally does not report the identities or methods in self-inflicted deaths. However, in this case the scene was in plain view of many travelers who passed by Castle Gate, and the questions raised must be answered.

Twice daily fosamprenavir, in combination with low dose ritonavir (FPV/RTV BID), is indicated for the treatment of HIV-infected adults, adolescents and children of 6 years of age and above for use in combination with other anti-HIV medicines. Safety data from two GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) clinical trials (APV29005 - involving twice-daily doses of FPV with or without RTV and APV20003 - with once daily dosing of FPV/RTV among 2-18 year olds) indicated that gastrointestinal events were the most commonly reported AEs, but that the majority of events were mild and of short duration. Treatment emergent grade 3 / 4 neutropenia was reported in 20% of children in the APV20003 trial; and neutropenia was identified as a potential safety concern by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA). The objectives of this study were to conduct an observational cohort study of the usage and safety of FPV/RTV in children and adolescents (aged 6 ≤ 18 years) with HIV infection in several European HIV paediatric cohorts. Data will be collected for 3 years (2008, 2009 and 2010).

CANTON The North Country Housing Council has been awarded or will administer more than $1.5 million in grants for building and housing needs in St. Lawrence County.
Its been a very good start to the year for us, said Alan S. Hipps, executive director. Thats kind of a banner year.
The Housing Council is the recipient of a $200,000 grant through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council and the support of state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, that will allow it to finish the renovation of its headquarters at 19 Main St., Canton. Work on the building, which had to be gutted because of a mold problem, began in 2012 but stalled because of a lack of money.
Housing Council members also raised about $13,000 toward the renovation.
The grant will allow completion of the work, most of it interior, a classroom for home-buyer education and two upstairs apartments.
Construction could start within eight weeks.
The award includes $51,000 for Traditional Arts in Upstate New York to build a kitchen.
Its the last part of our renovation project, said TAUNY founder Varick A. Chittenden. Weve created a room for it already.
In addition to preparing meals for TAUNY events, the first-floor kitchen could be used for teaching or demonstrations, Mr. Chittenden said.
The Housing Council also successfully applied for a $400,000 Community Development Block Grant for housing rehabilitation in the town of Fowler.
In addition, St. Lawrence County will receive $620,000 in direct home ownership money that could help 25 first-time home buyers.
The Housing Council received $300,000 in state Affordable Housing funds that could benefit another 15 home buyers.

The AFC is sort of like the washington generals playing the harlem globtrotters.......they do not count
OK...I am going to stipulate that your D is probably the best in the league right now, your O-line looks fantastic, your passing and running games both look like more than our D can handle and you seemed to have gotten special teams in order. Then top that with a home game for you.
Now...let me ask a question: In the last 5 years what one team has a well deserved reputation for taking out opponents who on paper seem to be a better team in many areas?
The Giants simply win in these situations.
"I was disappointed that Eli did not lead his team in that brawl. I'm not saying I would have completely lost respect for him as a leader if I were on the squad but that kind of suspect behavior would definitely have me eyeing him sideways"...elitikistrahan
Hey ****less, tell your mods to let us make accounts on your boards. Scared we might call Alex Smith a subpar QB? Or your defense a bunch of whiny *****es who can't quite get that salsa dance right?
Yeah, we'll see your Whiners Sunday and we'll show you whats good.

Preseason: Golden State 109, Clippers 103
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 10/27/07, 12:02am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
Apart from Ruben Patterson and the Knight Cook, most of the team's rotation got minutes tonight. There were brief moments of watchability that produced the following observations:
The Good
The Bad
The Good
- Chris Kaman appears quicker, more confident, and more focused than at any time last season. He converted 8-9 from the floor - against double-teams, popping out to beyond 15 feet, and in traffic. Chris also set a flurry of firm screens tonight. I'll take the three turnovers [the fourth was an offensive foul on an assertive move in the post] with the four blocked shots. What's more, there were at least two other occasions when Kaman had complete position on the block but the guys on the wing didn't recognize it.
- The Clips still know how to post up smaller guards. Sam Cassell went to work early on Monte Ellis, and Cuttino Mobley followed suit.
- Sam looked good. He's still a disaster defensively, but with Q on the ball, the Clips can hide Sam somewhat in the halfcourt. Down the stretch, with the Clippers mounting a comeback in a meaningless game, Cassell was amped - pumping his fist overhead, shouting orders, and generally resuming his role as union boss.
- Paul Davis is a professional basketball player. Somebody worked on his face-up jumper this offseason. What impressed me most about Davis tonight was his defensively play on the block. Golden State isn't exactly a monster team in the post, but Davis still had to deal with a 7' 2" Serb and slashers careening toward him. And seven rebounds in 23 minutes is a good night's work.
- Corey didn't have a particularly good game [or a bad one], but the Clips ran some quality cross-screens below the stripe to get Corey some shots...at least in the first quarter.
- The Clips sank 27-28 from the line.
The Bad
- The team still doesn't have any shooters. It was sag city all night from Golden State. Kaman did yeoman's work tonight against double-teams, but without anyone on the wings who can shoot consistently, the Clippers are in for a long season.
- Thornton is sort of lost in the halfcourt offense, and it's not entirely - or even largely - his fault. When he's in the game for Maggette at the 3, he's left alone on the weak side. And because there's rarely any need for defenders to double low on the strong side against the Clips, Thornton is just left out to pasture. In the past, when Maggette was left out on the arc, he could count on his man being lured away at some point in the set to help on Elton. But in a static halfcourt offense alongside Dickau, Mobley, Powell, and Davis, there's just nothing for Thornton to do. On a couple of occasions, he tried to set up down low, but had a lot of trouble establishing position. That'll come with time, but right now he just doesn't have the strength or guile to post up a bigger man.
Down the stretch in the fourth quarter, Thornton drew Austin Croshere - a perfect mismatch for his athleticism. But herein lies the problem: It's not like Sam, Corey, and the rest of the vets are going to turn the game over to him just because he has the best matchup on the floor.
Please understand that this isn't a criticism of Thornton. But when a game has settled to a slow pace and there are few transition opportunities, something needs to be done to give the kid a couple of shots. The good news is that he has a lightning quick release and can get himself looks if someone is working for him off the ball. But there's not much Thornton can do fifteen feet away from the ball out in Siberia on the weak side.
Defensively, Thorton was disoriented on the switch in the first half...but he got better as the game progressed. That's all you can ask for. That's a fair characterization of Davis' night too...and it's probably not a coincidence. It tends to work that way.
- It's a lot harder to trap on the perimeter with Kaman when there's no Elton Brand patrolling the baseline. Dunleavy seems intent to continue this tack, but he needs to realize that Tim Thomas is his new power forward. Since that's the case, there's really no reason Chris Kaman should ever be drifting out to the arc to chase Monte Ellis around.
- When you watch Dan Dickau, it becomes clear how many ways he hurts your basketball team when he's on the floor. I mean, can you really have Dickau setting screens at the elbow for Chris Kaman?? Dickau is like a pinball in the halfcourt offense and an absolute liability defensively.

Humanity's step into the 21st century has been accompanied by global problems in need of new solutions: better approaches to spreading human rights in a time of scarce resources, an increased understanding of environmental stewardship, and new strategies to create just and healthy societies around the world.
Most of us want to address these challenges, solve these problems, but don't know how. An education designed to get us a job and keep us thinking inside the box doesn't provide us with the tools needed to be more effective citizens of the 21st century.

School of MBM Chair Donald Moss Conducts Workshop on Breath Training at Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis Meeting in Berkeley10/21/2013
On October 3, Dr. Donald Moss, the Chair of the School of Mind-Body Medicine, provided a workshop on breath training for attendees at the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, in Berkeley, California.
Hypnosis and biofeedback practitioners regularly use paced breathing as a component in hypnosis induction and relaxation. Diaphragmatic and yogic breathing are familiar tools in meditative practice and in self-regulation training. Traditional Chinese Medicine has observed: "…the tranquillity of the mind regulates the breathing naturally and, in turn, regulated breathing brings on concentration of the mind naturally" (Xiangcai, 2000, p. 7).

Development of a Nurse-Led Hypnosis Service at a Comprehensive Cancer Center : A Report from the SCEH Meeting in Berkeley10/18/2013
School of Mind-Body Medicine Chair Donald Moss attended the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis meeting in Berkeley in October, where he taught a competency course in breath training as an adjunct to hypnosis and chaired a symposium on pediatric applications of hypnosis and biofeedback. Dr. Moss is reporting in on relevant scientific programs at SCEH.
Kate Kravits, MA, RN, LPC, at the City of Hope in Duarte, California, provided a report on the development of a nurse-led service providing hypnosis for cancer patients on an inpatient and outpatient basis. This is an excellent example of progress in integrating mind-body services into the mainstream of healthcare. This program was initially inspired by Guy Montgomery's research showing that hypnosis can not only moderate the symptoms and suffering of breast cancer patients, but also save money for the institutions serving these patients. The City of Hope team contacted Dr. Montgomery, who agreed to serve as a consultant for the program. Establishing their service, the team encountered many barriers, notably prejudices against hypnosis as a medical intervention.

The state Office of General Services will spend $50,000 to $100,000 to replace the front entrance to the Ogdensburg Armory, 225 Elizabeth St.
OGS started soliciting bids from contractors Thursday. A bid is expected to be accepted Sept. 11.
Spokeswoman Heather R. Groll said the project will fix deterioration to the steps and an exposed part of the buildings porch.
There is also a structural crack at the roof drip line on the porch that has allowed water infiltration to damage the steel in the basement, she said in an emailed message.
She said the OGS is unclear if the steps are original to the 1898 building or were built during a porch expansion that took place in the 1930s. Its likely this is the first time the steps and porch have been repaired, she said.
Ms. Groll said work is expected to involve demolition of the steps, the front porch slate, sub base and railings. The steps will be reconstructed, a vapor barrier will be added to the porch, and new slate and railings will be installed. Both the porch and the supporting steel in the basement will be reinforced.
The project is expected to take 120 days, Ms. Groll said.
The Spanish American War-era building, constructed of Potsdam sandstone, has been home to at least seven New York National Guard units since it was first built.
Before the building was constructed, a wooden structure occupied the site that was first home to the 40th Separate Company, and later housed the 203rd New York Volunteers, nucleus of Co. H.
According to information from the state Division of Military and Naval Affairs, it has over the years housed the 4th Infantry Battalion, Co. D; 1st Infantry Regiment, Co. D, which in 1921 split into four different organizations whose names are unknown; 187th Field Artillery, Co. B; and 108th Infantry, Co. A. It is currently home to Detachment 1, Co. B, 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry.
Firms interested in bidding on the project may get more information and bid documents online at www.ogs.ny.gov, or by calling 1-877-OGS-PLAN or (518)474-0203.

JERUSALEM (MarketWatch) -- Foreigners won't get this, but the general election Israel will hold in January will be the first to be dominated by economics in nearly half a century.
The last time an Israeli election was dominated by economics was in 1965, when the previous decade's vigorous growth gave way to a harsh recession and double-digit unemployment. Since then, Israel's political discourse has been dominated by issues of war and peace. Even in 1984, when Israel faced triple-digit inflation, election rhetoric was dominated by the war Israel was fighting at the time, in Lebanon.
Well, times have changed. The foreign issues Israelis once passionately debated have not become simpler, but the major parties have moved to the center, with hawkish Prime Minister Netanyahu backing Palestinian statehood while dovish Labor avoids discussing the conflict. Instead, everyone is talking economics.
Turning point: consumer wrath
The turning point was last year's social upheaval. The sight of thousands crowding the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to demand affordable housing and lower food prices caught much of the political system off guard, sidelining key politicians who failed to detect in time the public's changing priorities.
It was this groundswell that accelerated the rise of Labor Party leader Shelly Yachimovich and the downfall of then-opposition leader Tzipi Livni. Yachimovich's parliamentary work focused on workers' rights while Livni remained shackled to the diplomatic issues with which she had become familiar, and infatuated, as foreign minister.
Now, as the politicians brace for an economic election, the debate promises to be heated, and animated by much talk about compassion and solidarity. The result, however, will likely be a conservative coalition that will be more pro-market than the outgoing government.
Building Mideast peace, app by app
AllThingsD's Ina Fried reports on a project that brings together Israeli and Palestinian youth to learn tech and business skills and, perhaps, understanding too.
The debate will extend from how to cap natural-gas drillers' royalties to how to lower the price of cottage cheese, and from how to make mortgages more manageable for young couples to how to regulate overly concentrated holding companies.
Neo-socialist narrative
Inspiring all these will be the neo-socialist narrative, which demonizes big business as inherently greedy and inhuman. Such rhetoric has become fashionable since the 2008 meltdown and has recently also earned respectability with Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz's condemnation in a new book, "The Price of Inequality," of what he called "rent seekers," an allusion to corporations that charge a lot and produce little.
In Israel, the Labor Party is tapping this Zeitgeist's energy fairly and successfully: fairly, because that is what Labor parties should do, and successfully, because social activists are suddenly joining Labor in droves, creating an enthusiasm not seen there since the days of Yitzhak Rabin two decades ago.
Polls indicate that Labor is poised to restore its historic position as one of Israel's two major parties, garnering about a fifth of the electorate. That's twice as much as it won in 2009, when the party that ruled Israel during the country's first three decades dwindled to a tenth of the legislature.
However, Labor leader Yachimovich, a 51-year-old former journalist who hasn't held any executive office, is expected to lag behind the 63-year-old Netanyahu, who has already run for the premiership three times, won twice, and has served an aggregate seven years as prime minister, plus a term as finance minister and a stint as foreign minister.

Kristin Cavallari was pregnant just eight months ago. Seriously.
The former star of "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach" flaunted her bikini body this weekend in Mexico, where she looked incredible in a pastel two-piece.
Cavallari, who gave birth to son Camden Jack back in August, looked amazing as she lounged around the pool while reading Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl."
The 26-year-old reality star recently opened up about how she dropped all the baby weight after giving birth -- saying she maintains a healthy diet and has stopped drinking alcohol.
Whatever she's doing, it's working. Check out more celebrity bikini bods in the gallery above!

(Updated) Thoughts on David Wright, inaccuracies and reporting
Multiple reports surfaced today indicating the Mets offered David Wright a seven-year contract extension, to start after next season, totaling around $130 million.
Wright later told MLB Trade Rumors that these reports are inaccurate.
"I have said from Day 1 that I want to play my entire career with the New York Mets," Wright told MLBTR. "I remain hopeful that goal can be achieved. However, I am disappointed by the reports that I have read today, which are inaccurate."
The New York Post's Ken Davidoff asked Wright to clarify.
"I wish I could elaborate, but it was important to me from the very beginning that these negotiations remain confidential and private," Wright said. "I plan on sticking to that. Sorry I can't comment any further."
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
"Inaccurate," he says, which is to say not accurate or not totally correct. Think about it, that could mean anything. It could mean it's close to correct, but not exact. It could also mean reports are totally wrong. We'll eventually know the truth when he either signs an extension or not.
I believe my sources who have long been saying Wright is seeking a seven-year deal worth around $140 million. I wrote weeks ago that the Mets were planning to give six years and $100 million, which ended up being the team's opening offer, according to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. Rosenthal reported today that the Mets upped Monday's offer to a seven-year deal worth close to $129 million. This plus his option would keep Wright in Queens for the next eight seasons, through 2020, which I'm told is his ultimate goal… that, of course, and $20 million a year.
Nov. 28, 12:18 am: The more I think about this situation, the more I start wondering and worrying about what could really be going on here…
Basically, MLB insiders have told me – for Wright to come out and say what he said – it probably means he specifically asked the Mets to keep negotiations private. And because it was made public, it also probably means Sandy Alderson and Jeff Wilpon have presented their final offer. So, why go public? Why talk details with three different media outlets, all on the same day, especially if Wright asked them not to?
Perhaps the Mets expect Wright to reject their final offer? Worse, maybe he already has? Maybe he's had a change of heart and is now set on testing the free agent market one year from now? Maybe he feels his best shot at playing for a winner is playing some place else? That said, if he does (did) reject their seven-year, $130 extension, by leaking details, the Mets can at least say they've made him a sizable, formal offer, which is something people criticized them for not doing last winter with Jose Reyes. Basically, these leaked details could shift pressure off the Mets and on to Wright, forcing him to defend why he didn't sign a massive contract extension with the team he claims to want to be with…
Or, maybe I'm going crazy? Maybe I'm reading too much in to this, everything is on track, getting close to a final agreement, and rumors of Wright's deal were simply blurted out by some random, giddy person with knowledge of the contract, it spread from there and Wright's just annoyed it became public? Or, maybe everyone's sources are just wrong? Or, maybe it's something else entirely…

Subaru WRX 2003, Round Crossbars by Yakima®. These rugged high-density polyethylene coated, galvanized steel crossbars attach to the roof mounted towers and support roof rack mounted accessories like bike racks, watersport racks, ski & snowboard racks, and cargo boxes, baskets, and bags. Yakima round bars are 15% stronger than rectangular bars, and allow accessories to be easily rotated flat when not in use for improved aerodynamics. Available in a selection of lengths, these crossbars can also be cut to size if desired.
- High-strength bars provide support for all Yakima roof rack accessories
- Can be attached to all Yakima roof mounted support towers
- Heavy-duty galvanized steel construction
- High-density polyethylene coating protects the underlying steel bar from the elements and provides an attractive appearance
- 15% stronger than comparable rectangular bars
- Allows cross bar mounted accessories to be easily rotated flat when not in use to reduce drag and wind noise
- Automatically accommodates loads on curved roofs
- Available in several lengths
- End caps sold separately
- Limited lifetime warranty
Yakima roof rack systems allow you to transport cargo on top of your vehicle that would otherwise take up a lot of room in the cabin. With your gear stowed on top, there's room for friends or more gear inside your vehicle. Yakima towers are custom designed for each vehicle roof type, but all are used with Yakima round crossbars. These crossbars are about 15% stronger than comparable rectangular bars, for a more rigid and durable roof rack system, and unlike rectangular bars with flat surfaces that may not be parallel, round bars automatically accommodate loads on curved roofs. Round bars also have the advantage of allowing accessories to easily rotate flat when not in use, to reduce drag and wind noise.
Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanized steel for high strength, and coated with high-density polyethylene for an attractive look and protection against weathering, Yakima round bars are available in a selection of lengths, and can also be cut to size with a hack saw. Your vehicle's load bearing ability is ultimately determined by limitations for roof loading and rack capacity, but in general a longer length bar may allow you to carry additional accessories like another bike or more cargo.
Crossbar end caps are not supplied with the crossbars but come with the rack support towers. Yakima crossbars are covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.89.00
Yakima® Products, of Beaverton, Oregon is one of the world's largest manufacturers of cargo and recreational equipment carrying solutions.

To achieve that goal the company makes roof rack systems for any style roof, and an array of roof rack, receiver hitch, trunk lid and hatch, and trailer mounted carriers. Yakima's designers and engineers are outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and travelers just like you, and they listen and learn what other enthusiasts need and want while participating in those activities. The combination of their own personal experience with that of other enthusiasts enables them to create the finest carriers and accessories for bicycles, watercraft, skis & snowboards, and cargo & camping.

15 U.S. Code § 271 - Findings and purposes
prev | next
(a) The Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) The future well-being of the United States economy depends on a strong manufacturing base and requires continual improvements in manufacturing technology, quality control, and techniques for ensuring product reliability and cost-effectiveness.
(2) Precise measurements, calibrations, and standards help United States industry and manufacturing concerns compete strongly in world markets.
(3) Improvements in manufacturing and product technology depend on fundamental scientific and engineering research to develop
(A) the precise and accurate measurement methods and measurement standards needed to improve quality and reliability, and
(B) new technological processes by which such improved methods may be used in practice to improve manufacturing and to assist industry to transfer important laboratory discoveries into commercial products.
(4) Scientific progress, public safety, and product compatibility and standardization also depend on the development of precise measurement methods, standards, and related basic technologies.
(5) The National Bureau of Standards since its establishment has served as the Federal focal point in developing basic measurement standards and related technologies, has taken a lead role in stimulating cooperative work among private industrial organizations in efforts to surmount technological hurdles, and otherwise has been responsible for assisting in the improvement of industrial technology.
(6) The Federal Government should maintain a national science, engineering, and technology laboratory which provides measurement methods, standards, and associated technologies and which aids United States companies in using new technologies to improve products and manufacturing processes.
(b) It is the purpose of this chapter—
(1) to rename the National Bureau of Standards as the National Institute of Standards and Technology and to modernize and restructure that agency to augment its unique ability to enhance the competitiveness of American industry while maintaining its traditional function as lead national laboratory for providing the measurements, calibrations, and quality assurance techniques which underpin United States commerce, technological progress, improved product reliability and manufacturing processes, and public safety;
(3) to advance, through cooperative efforts among industries, universities, and government laboratories, promising research and development projects, which can be optimized by the private sector for commercial and industrial applications; and
