MSI unveils its first X79 chipset motherboards
New chipset and LGA2011 socket
TAIWANESE PC MAKER Micro-Star International (MSI) has announced its line of motherboards based on Intel's latest X79 chipset.
The four-strong line-up includes the X79A-GD65 (8D), X79A-GD65, X79A-GD45, and X79MA-GD45. All use Intel X79 chipset with the LGA2011 processor socket.
This Intel LGA2011 socket supports the latest Intel Sandy Bridge E chips that were launched earlier today.
The two GD65 models have support for up to eight memory DIMMs for a maximum of 128GB of RAM. MSI said all the boards use Military Class III components for superior quality and stability.
All the boards support PCI-express 3.0 and use 'DrMOS II' metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect (MOSFET) transistors, and the thermal protection is improved and therefore the lifetime of components is increased.
Other technology includes MSI's Click BIOS II and OC Genie II for overclocking. MSI X79 motherboards also support four-way AMD CrossfireX and three-way Nvidia SLI multi-GPU technology. µ

Did the Airline Tariff Publishing Case Reduce Collusion?
Amalia R. Miller
University of Virginia - Department of Economics
June 2009
Journal of Law and Economics, Forthcoming
In December 1992, the US Department of Justice filed suit against eight major domestic airlines and the Airline Tariff Publishing Company in order to reduce opportunities for collusion in the industry. The lawsuit ended with consent decrees limiting the ability of airlines to communicate surreptitiously through the shared fare database. This paper measures the effects of the litigation and its settlement on industry performance, comparing changes in outcomes between market segments that were more and less likely to be affected by the ATP case. Prices fell in response to the investigation, but increased following the settlement, while the number of tickets sold in affected markets declined. The importance of multi-market contact also dropped and then recovered. The ATP case had at best a temporary effect on airline collusion.

If you think you don't like champagne, or that it gives you a headache, it's because you're not drinking the good stuff. And contrary to what most people think, the good bubbles don't have to cost a lot. Check out all styles of sparkling wine, from everyday prosecco to the finest chateaux, at Copper Onion now through the New Year. Sip, compare, and sip again.
Here's the info Santangelo sent about the tastings:
It's that time of year to celebrate and we're making it easy.
Select from sparkling wines from around the world ranging in style from Italy's light and floral Prosecco to the classic style of Champagne.
And we're even pouring Veuve Clicquot 'Yellow Label'!
by the glass / quartino / bottle
CAVA / Miquel Pons 'Brut Nature', Penedès, Spain 8 / 14 / 36
This Spanish sparkle is made using the traditional methods of champagne. A light and dry expression with citrus, crunchy pear and touch of almond. Great starter.
PROSECCO / Adami 'Garbel 13', Italy 9 / 16 / 46
We showcase the apricot and peach aromatics of this Prosecco by serving in a wine glass rather than a traditional flute. Enjoy this light and bubbly choice.
SPARKLING / Domaine Chandon 'Blanc de Noirs', Carneros 10 / 18 / 52
This California sparkling wine is made with all black grape varietals; Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Soft red fruit shows on the nose moving into blackberry & cassis.
ROSE / Simonnet-Febvre, Cremant de Bourgogne, France 12 / 20 / 58
This Rosé is produced from 100% Pinot Noir in the Chablis wine growing region of Burgundy. Showing copper in color, the aromas are of raspberry and red currant, finishing with a slightly dry feel with an elegant smooth bubble.
CHAMPAGNE / Chartogne – Taillet 'Cuvee St. Anne', Merfy 23 / 34 / 115
Imagine walking into the bread shop and they just pulled out brioche from the oven and spread lemon butter over the top. That's the aromatics of this Champagne.
Don't get me started on how good it tastes…
CHAMPAGNE / Veuve Clicquot 'Yellow Label' 18 / 32 / 105
A familiar Champagne to mark any occasion, the Yellow Label shows fresh and fragrant fruit with a richness and soft creamy texture finishing with bright acidity.
A great way to mark this Holiday Season, enjoy!

Twenty-seven members of Congress sent a letter to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (Super Committee) requesting they reject efforts by the House and Senate Ag Committees to put a "secret farm bill" in the super committee's budget reduction plan. The recommendations of the super committee will not be subject to amendment or filibuster. Wisconsin Congressman Ron Kind wrote "Targeted agriculture spending cuts should definitely be on the table but creating costly new farm programs should not. The Super Committee should avoid pushing through a complex new farm bill without giving Congress the opportunity to debate and amend this important legislation."
"It has become apparent that some believe they can create new programs and entitlements with limited Congressional scrutiny and input. We urge the Joint Select Committee to resist proposals that would go beyond its mandate of deficit reduction and authorize new, complicated agriculture programs that have not been the subject of Congressional review," write the lawmakers.
Leadership of the two ag committees is reportedly working on a plan under which the Super Committee would reduce or eliminate direct farm program payments and strengthen a revenue assurance program along the lines of the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program.
In addition to Representative Kind, others signing the letter include:
- Earl Blumenauer (D-OR)
- John Campbell (R-CA)
- Donna Christensen (D-VI)
- Steve Cohen (D-TN)
- Peter DeFazio (D-OR)
- Keith Ellison (D-MN)

In the days following the Vancouver 2010 Olympics opening ceremony, many Quebecers have been asking: Where was the French? Where were we in the representation of Canada?
From a promising opening with snowboarder Johnny Lyall soaring through one of the Olympic circles, the ceremony quickly went from daring to predictable.
And with Canada's first gold medal since won by Quebec's Alexandre Bilodeau, the Olympic slight seems even more hard to reconcile.
In her piece What We Saw at the Opening Ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, Linda Solomon of the Vancouver Observer wrote, "Perhaps above all else, the ceremony attempted to make a statement about the place of First Nations people in Canada. It celebrated four First Nations bands that chose to participate in the event and the First Nations culture in general, putting it up front and central in the production as if to suggest a level of visibility in the mainstream culture that is what Canada hopes for, rather than what Canada is."
But is that really what Canada hopes for? If so, a celebration of First Nation bands became a celebration of "Canada's brand." And while it was appropriate to highlight the First Nations, why not present the full spectrum of Canadian culture, which includes Quebec? There are so many ways that could have been done, through integrating song, dance, imagery. Instead, the presentation just reinforced the divide between Quebec and ROC – rest of Canada.
Each Olympics offers an amazing opportunity to showcase the host country – its natural treasures and cultural diversity. Consider the opening ceremony one giant advertisement that broadcasts worldwide: "Look at what we are doing, why you should come visit, invest in our businesses, our future."
Instead, the key message was anchored in the past. An emotional tribute to heritage and pageantry. That is simply too easy.
Why not build a bridge from the past to the present, celebrating the amazing contributions Canada is making today in the arts, in technology? Showcase Cirque de Soleil, CAE, SNC-Lavalin and tap into all the local creative talent in animation (as done by Steven Spielberg and Ubisoft). Imagine what they could have come up with together. What richness they could have brought to the story being told. A multi-layered, multi-cultural ceremony. Yes, build on tradition, but don't dwell there and limit the true reach and application of Canada today. Apparently Guy LaLiberté was approached at one point to participate, but was so turned off by the concept presented that he abruptly cut the meeting short.
And if being true to origins is so important, keep in mind that as with Canada, the official languages of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are French and English. And that IOC founder and father of the modern Olympics was Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman.
Given the geographics, the politics and likely the concern of alienating viewers, perhaps it is not too surprising that the focus was English language and on the First Nation communities. Unfortunately, the single French musical number, "Un Peu Plus Haut, Un Peu Plus Loin," was sung off-key by Garou. And the one depiction of French culture was La Chasse-galerie, a folklore tale of innocent travelers selling their soul to the devil.
And though Vancouver Olympics organizers claim they tried to get high-profile Quebecois singers like Céline Dion, the question is when did they try, given it appears there were scheduling conflicts?
And why the lack of a Quebecer to light the torch? Certainly there is no lack of candidates: Wasn't three-time gold Olympic medal winner Gaétan Boucher once lauded as the golden boy Bilodeau is today?
The most publicized reactions included:
"I expected something else. What I saw at the opening ceremonies was a concert, which had been conceived, developed and presented in English - with a French song." – Graham Fraser, Federal Commissioner of Official Languages
"It was really pitiful. It shows that official bilingualism in Canada is a farce. It's only stated in theory to calm linguistic tides in Quebec, but the reality is it doesn't work." – Mario Beaulieu, President Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society
"They were beautiful, they were spectacular on television, but there should have been more French. I was disappointed there wasn't as much French as we were expecting, as we were told that there was going to be." – James Moore, Heritage Minister
Note you can follow Moore on Twitter. His latest tweet as of publication: "Prime Minister Harper just spoke with Alexandre Bilodeau & told him this was "a historic victory and that all Canadians are proud of him"
More from Twitter
What were your expectations of the opening ceremony? Do you think Quebec was fully represented? Here are some reactions to the perceived lack of French Canada representation.

Women's Hoops Game Notes Released for NewberryDecember 6, 2013
ANDERSON, S.C. -- The game notes for Anderson University women's basketball matchup with South Atlantic Conference opponent Newberry on Saturday have been released.
With their one-point setback to Wingate on Wednesday, the Trojans look to avoid a three-game losing streak when they welcome Newberry to the Abney Athletic Center. Overall, AU enters the weekend with a 6-2 record and a 2-2 mark in conference play.
Newberry (4-2, 2-2 SAC) was projected to win the SAC this season after coming off a 20-10 record in 2012-13. The Wolves placed two on the Preseason SAC First Team, as juniors Haylee Lepaio and Samantha Creed accounted for two of the six positions. Lepaio was also named a Preseason All-American by DII Bulletin prior to the start of the season.
This season, Lepaio is just one of three players in the league to average more than 17 points per game (17.5) and one of four players to average more than eight rebounds (8.5). On Nov. 19, Lepaio was named SAC Player of the Week as she averaged 19.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in Newberry's wins over Morris and Mount Olive.
Tip-off from the Abney Center is slated for 2 p.m. Fans can listen to all the action on wrixfm.com.

Ph.D. Job Searches: Campus Interviews
Campus interviews are as crucial as initial interviews. These typically last about two days, usually with meetings with members of the faculty, administration and students. When you get to this state, your hosts will usually spell out what is expected of you in good detail—e.g., lectures, teaching, particular meetings, receptions, etc.
Again, the competition at this stage is usually very narrow: it is unusual for more than three candidates to reach this stage. When you reach this stage, the Professionalization Committee and your dissertation committee will provide detailed advice. The most important thing to remember at this stage is not to fear repeating yourself: the members of the conference interview committee, who have brought you to campus, want their colleagues to hear and see what convinced them you were a top candidate.

Herman Cain Doesn't Know What an Endorsement Is
Or he does and he's just trying to piss everyone off.
For weeks, Herman Cain has been trying to build up suspense for the presidential endorsement he would be giving today at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in Charleston, South Carolina. It would be, he stressed repeatedly, an "unconventional" endorsement. What that meant, nobody had any idea. Would he endorse someone who wasn't in the race? One of his mistresses? A pizza topping?
Nope. Think ... even dumber.
"Here is my unconventional endorsement. Not a candidate seeking the nomination. Not someone that's not running. My unconventional endorsement is ... the people! We the people of this nation are still in charge! That's who I'm endorsing! Because we're the ones that are going to have to lead this revolution. We're the ones who are gonna be able to take our power back. I'm endorsing the people. The people who started this country."
So now we know what Herman Cain's next career should be: Picking Time's Person of the Year.

Monday can be considered the worst day of the week. The weekend of fun and relaxation is over and it's the beginning of a long week of work and responsibility. With new music being released, Mondays don't have to be so dreadful. Instead they can be filled with bliss as you discover your new favorite songs on New Music Monday.
While you were busy finishing up work and enjoying your weekend, many artists have released new music this week. Favorites such as Common, Mary J. Blige, Artic Monkeys and OK Go have returned to the music scene after a far too long hiatus. Artists in the recent spotlight have also released new songs this week, filling the list with great new music.
Here is the list of new songs this week:
T.I. featuring Iggy Azalea– "No Mediocre"
OK Go- "The Writing's On the Wall"
*Along with the new single. OK Go released an amazing, single-shot optical illusion music video for you to enjoy while listening to the new tune.
Mary J. Blige- "A Night to Remember"
Naughty Boy featuring Sam Romans- "Home"
Michelle Williams featuring Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland- "Say Yes"
DJ Cassidy featuring R. Kelly- "Make the World Go Round"
Common featuring Vince Staples- "Kingdom"

Lana Del Rey- "Shades Of Cool"
Capital Cities- "One Minute More"
Coldplay- "A Sky Full Of Stars"
Ed Sheeran- "The Man"
*This song is different from the usual songs that have been released by Ed but if his music doesn't already make you swoon, this song's style inspired by his idol Eminem will do it for you.
Ferras featuring Katy Perry- "Legends Never Die"
Porter Robinson featuring Urban Cone- "Lionhearted"
Arctic Monkeys- "Snap Out Of It"
American Authors- "Believer"
Hope this list of new music brightens your Monday.

COMEBACK kid Danny Ings feels Burnley's home draw with Crystal Palace could be a turning point in the business end of their season.
The Clarets defied a run of three straight defeats to get off to a flying start against the Eagles, in what was Ings' full debut.
They were pegged back in the second half, when Darren Ambrose cancelled out Jay Rodriguez's early penalty, also from the spot.
But Ings was encouraged by their resolve to preserve a point, albeit against 10 men after Wilfried Zaha was sent off with around 20 minutes to go.
"In the previous games when the opposition have scored we seemed to let the floodgates open a little bit, but we stuck together as a team when they equalised, and we pushed for the win and were very unlucky," said the 19-year-old.
"That could be the turning point and hopefully we can get some wins under our belt.
"We were disappointed we didn't get the three points at the weekend but the way we played in parts was fantastic.
"We've got to take that into the next game.
"It's not like we are going into it on the back of a bad performance, we just need to take that on and hopefully take our chances."
From a personal point of view, Saturday was certainly a key point in Ings' season as he started his first game since suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury almost immediately after signing from Bournemouth.
But the striker says his time out has been useful from an observation perspective.
Although it is a step up, Ings does not feel he is playing catch-up.
"Being out and being able to watch the team play for a long time. I was still learning," he said.
"Even though I wasn't training every day with them I was learning by watching them and picking up little things.
"At the weekend I thought I put some of that into place and things went really well."
Of his full debut he added: "It was fantastic. My knee held up very well.
"It feels like it is starting to adapt to playing more minutes. There's no swelling in it and the physios are very happy with how it's reacting and things are going very well.
"The beginning of the season was very hard for me because I hadn't played, but now I'm fit I'm hoping to get as many minutes as I can, if selected.
"Personally I want to get as many minutes as I can to start well for next season."
But Ings is hoping to play his part in Burnley continuing their difficult fight to finish in the top six this season.
"We've got to give it that final push, and you never know where we are going to end up," he said.

College Hockey:Makowski scores two to lead Denver over Niagara
DENVER — first game as one of three team captains, senior David Makowski notched two goals, his fellow senior Sam Brittain stopped 21 shots, and the No. 17 Denver Pioneers rolled over the Niagara Purple Eagles, 5-1 in front of 5,225 fans at Magness Arena in Denver.
"More than anything, it was a good team win," said Makowski. "There are NCAA implications with this game, and tomorrow too; nonconference games are big. We just wanted to get off to a good start and kind of get a streak going, and hopefully we have."
Considering how badly Denver dominated Niagara in the first period, the Purple Eagles had to be happy coming out of the period trailing only 2-1. Denver didn't let Niagara get a shot on net until almost the 15-minute mark, and in addition to capitalizing on its first two power play chances, barely missed a shot wide with an open net that would have given Denver a 3-0 lead.
With Niagara's Mike Conderman already in the box, Patrick Divjak was called for interference. Denver had already been dominating the early play, keeping the Purple Eagles pinned in their zone, and quickly capitalized. First, Joey LaLeggia and Nolan Zajac moved the puck back and forth across the blue line, and LaLeggia scored on a one-time blast from the right point at 7:50.
Still on the power play, Makowski made it 2-0 when he got a pass from Matt Marcinew and let fly with a blast from the center-right blue line that beat Jackson Teichroeb low at 9:24.
"It was really impressed by our forwards," said Denver coach Jim Montgomery. "I thought our forwards took over the game early. I thought we were physical on our forecheck, and I thought we really moved our feet down low. We protected pucks, and on offensive rushes, we got people and pucks to the net, which I thought generated a lot of momentum for us and caused the other team to take penalties."
Denver continued to pour on the pressure, missing on a few good scoring chances. However, on its second shot of the period, Niagara cut the deficit to one when, off a draw, Stephen Pietrobon got the puck in the slot and beat Brittain with a quick shot at 15:39.
"We looked like a team that maybe traveled, and obviously the penalty trouble we got into early," said Niagara coach Dave Burkholder. "They had a four power plays in the first period, and they got all the momentum off that. I thought five-on-five, maybe until we gave up the 3-1 goal, it was a pretty good game. I said to them that if that first period is the worst period we have all weekend, we'll be fine."
After withstanding a few good chances from Niagara early in the second, Denver broke the game open in a six-minute span. First, Trevor Moore got the puck down into the right faceoff circle and sent a cross-ice pass to Ty Loney, who beat Teichroeb low at 10:25.
"We haven't had the best second periods, so it was something we had talked about," said Makowski. "We talked about coming out with that same energy that we had in the first 10 minutes of the first."
Right after the goal however, Niagara went on a five-on-three power play for a minute, but couldn't score, and the two-man power play was negated by a too-many-men on the ice call.
After the kill, at 15:25, Grant Arnold sent a shot toward the net that deflected off Quentin Shore and in to give Denver a cushion.
Right after that, Denver went on a power play and almost immediately capitalized. It was Makowski getting his second of the game when he skated along the blue line from the left point and let fly with a snap shot that beat Teichroeb low glove side at 16:13.
Niagara did get another chance to get one back, again getting a five-on-three power play and spending the last 3:31 of the second on the man advantage, but the Purple Eagles never threatened.
"I hope next time we are in a tight game and we have a lead, we will learn from how we didn't manage the game properly," said Montgomery of Denver rebounding from two overtime losses in Alaska last weekend after having leads in each game. I like how we kept pushing the pace and kept trying to do the right things above the puck and in the offensive zone."

'I think we need to have a real look at the issue of privacy and where you draw the lines and what are the rules,' said Secretary of Commerce, Penny Pritzker, in an interview with IDG News Service at the International CES expo in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
'I don't think there is consistency or clarity right now in terms of what companies are collecting and what they can do with that data,' she said.
The issue was underscored for her, she said, when she toured CES and saw some of the gadgets on display, especially those associated with the 'Internet of things.' That's a catch-all term coined by the industry for devices such as home appliances, sensors and industrial equipment that can connect to the Internet and share information.
She is particularly concerned about how all of this data is shared. So if Samsung's Smart Home project links to a server through a smartphone app this can be accessed by whom? There are Internet-connected cooking pot controlled items to stew and cook your dinner but who from afar may know your dinner menu?
'You say to yourself, 'Do I want everybody to know that? Do I want that [information] freely recordable somewhere else [where] I don't know what is going to happen to it?' she asked.
'It raises, for a lot of people, questions, and I think we should have a conversation about it and I think that needs to sort out,' according to Commerce Secretary Pritzker.
Pritzker said the Department of Commerce has been part of the discussion with the White House regarding the NSA program and massive data collection efforts by the U.S. government to monitor Internet and telephone traffic in the U.S. and overseas. Due to the leaks from Edward J. Snowden the issue of privacy has been in serious discussion and review. President Barack Obama is due to issue a report on the matter soon.
The Commerce Secretary also said it was a shared concern with the President on privacy issues as far as the NSA is concerned and that needs to be one of the things weighed in determining the direction of future surveillance efforts. She said it should also be ensured that any surveillance is being carried out for a legitimate purpose.
Secretary Pritzker concluded her CES activities at a roundtable meeting with the CEOs and founders of 10 highly innovative technology, consumer electronics, and venture capital firms, including Mike McNamara of Flextronics, Josh Berman of BeachMint, and Sam Friedman of ParkMe. They discussed ways for the US to strengthen its competitive position globally and how the federal government can support American innovators as they adapt to changing market realities here and abroad.

is it possible to have a configuration in a Windows 2003 SBS environment where in the event that the SBS box crashed/turned off/ or is being worked on that there can still exist a path to the internet for domain users and visitors to still use?
I would like to have the standalone router issue DHCP IPs. The primary DNS would point to the SBS, the secondary wouuld point to the ISP DNS Server.
My theory was that if someone was using the internet and the SBS box went down they wouldn't be able to access the network shares but still be able to use the internet. (We are moving everything into the clouds with Google Apps Non-Profit)
Does this seem like a reasonable configuration? Or are they're pitfalls that I will fall into?
Thanks Mark
Well I would eventually like to get away from the server environment. No one knows how to manage the thing except me since we are all volunteers that come in with our own specialty. We can't afford to pay for a tech either (Its a volunteer ambulance corps). Do they make a domain controller appliance? I dread the idea of the SBS server going down and having to fix it. The internet is most important for everyone since I moved the email server and calendar into the clouds (Google Apps). The SBS server is more of a luxury. Its used for My Documents folder redirection, and some policies as well. Thats about it.
Any way to put the server into the clouds so I don't have to manage it either? lol
I was doing some testing with the configuration and found that it didn't really work well. I had an active gateway connection but no where to resolve domain names when the server was off, and when I released/renewed the network card configuration I had no access to My Documents, but I did have internet access.
I suppose there is no way that my ISP will put a pointer in their DNS that can point back to my server? Probably doesn't even exist, just an idea lol.
Can I have a second domain controller on a small business server environment?
Thanks for your input!

Look out pop culture fans – reality television stars of the hit Bravo TV show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" may soon be courting the likes of the types of wealthy folks found on Millionaire Match, at least if Patti Stanger has her way.
According to recent reports from Cable TV, Stanger – she of the shared Bravo TV fame and popular face of the "Millionaire Matchmaker" franchise – has considered having two of the most well-known housewives on her own couple-making series.
"I thought about Kenya Moore; I thought about Porsha Stewart," Stanger said, wondering out loud if the feuding duo of females would be able to exist in the same atmosphere without having another knock-down drag out fight that ends with Porsha dragging Kenya by her hair across the studio floor.
"Can I put them on the same show?" Stanger asked.
Stanger's interest in having Kenya or Porsha on her show is an odd turn of events from previous comments she's made, like the time when a Cleveland-area viewer of "Watch What Happens Live" asked Stanger her opinion about which Hollywood star she thought would make an ideal mate for Moore – or at least a good hookup.
Stanger answered, "Maybe Jamie Foxx, so he could slap her around a bit." When host Andy Cohen protested the wisdom of any man being a good date because he could slap someone around, Stanger explained the reasoning behind her shocking statement by sharing her opinion of Kenya.
"She thinks she's Beyoncé and he could tell her, 'You're not.' They could work out," Stanger said. Well, this Cleveland Pop Culture Examiner reporter doesn't know if that's the best come-hither line to get Kenya to join Stanger on her show, but the latter reality show star is no stranger to controversy. Nor is Kenya one to let any opportunity that could broaden her fame and fatten her bank account pass her by without deep investigation.
Followers of "The Kenya Moore" Instagram page know that the former beauty queen likes to keep others guessing about the real identity of any man in her life, if he exists at all.
Porsha, meanwhile, has confirmed her return to the much-watched RHOA show, along with her feelings that she deserves to return because she felt bullied by Kenya's use of props and other harsh words during the reunion-taping melee. The 32-year-old is looking to move past her arrest and release from jail onto a better life, and despite some calling for her to undergo anger management therapy, others long to see the young starlet prosper in the wake of her divorce from Kordell Stewart, as documented on the show.
No matter which path these two women take to find love, future marriages and potential motherhood, this investigative reporter hopes they use all the tools available to those seeking a mate through unconventional options to make sure they're getting what they expect: Verification options, FBI background checks, time, "red flag" meters – and most importantly, heavenly wisdom.

Among the iconic trinity of NWOBHM leaders Saxon may be the least well-known, but they remain the most prolific and consistent. Def Leppard slipped quickly into what they call "light alloy" and Iron Maiden has gone through three vocalists and several years between albums. Saxon has released 20 studio albums (including last year's "stellar "Sacrifice"), with never longer than a three-year interim, 15 compilations including 2013′s fantastic "Unplugged and Strung Up", and nine live albums the most recent of which is 2014′s landmark, "St. George's Day Sacrifice – Live in Manchester". During our recent interview, founding frontman Biff Byford hints that the year still has more treats up her sleeve for the Saxon faithful.
Fellow founder, guitarist Paul Quinn has been at Byford's side for the duration and drummer Nigel Glockler for the better part of three decades. Bassist Nibbs Carter has been holding down the low-end since 1988, and the band's newest member, Doug Scarratt (guitars) has been the new kid in town since 1996. Few bands have shared such longevity and consistency and it shows when they perform live.
Byford, who has been the band's sole vocalist since its inception since it began in 1976 as Son of a Bitch, chatted with The Examiner about the new live record, the recent "Unplugged and Strung Up" album, and the band's plans for Saxon's 35th Anniversary tour. He also talks about working on the new "Ronnie James Dio – This is Your Life" tribute album with Motorhead and shares his memory of the man himself. Check out the full interview above!

Last night, the Top 12 took the stage to prove why they have some of the best voices in the country!
While some rose to the challenge (Josh Kaufman, Tess Boyer and Sisaundra Lewis), others succumbed to the pressure (Delvin Choice). However, one contestant proved that she has an impeccable voice and has the professional stature of a future superstar as she faced a true test----having a microphone go out as she sang the decrescendo of her song (Brava, Kristen Merlin)!
Tonight, who continued their Voice journey? Who rounded out the Bottom Three artists? Who did you save? Read on to find out…
After Team Adam's less than stellar group performance of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer," Josh Kaufman and Kat Perkins learned that they advanced in the competition. The next artists that learned that they were moving on to the second Live Show were Kristen Merlin and Audra McLaughlin.
Shakira took the Voice stage to perform her hit: "Empire." It featured her signature vocals and rock presence! As she stepped off the stage, the ladies of Team Shakira joined their coach at Roscoe Elementary School in Los Angeles for a service project.
The next two artists that were saved were Delvin Choice (bad decision, America) and Jake Worthington. Once, he was saved…Jake joined Team Blake on stage for a fiery performance of Travis Tritt's "Put Some Drive In Your Country" that brought the crowd to its feet. The last three that were safe were Bria Kelly, Christina Grimmie and SISAUNDRA LEWIS!
With nine artists saved, this left Team Usher's T.J. Wilkins and Team Shakira's Dani Moz and Tess Boyer in danger of being eliminated. Before the brake, Shakira looked pissed and upset that two of her artists were in the bottom.
For his Save Me Song, T.J. Wilkins covered Edwin McCain's "I'll Be." The first half was good, until he screeched the remainder of the song. C- Dani Moz tackled Adele's "Turning Tables" for her Save Me Song. It was pure vocal nirvana and I hoped that America saved her. A- Tess Boyer wrapped up the round with a pitchy "Dark Side." C
At the end of the night, America saved Team Shakira's Tess Boyer and the "Hips Don't Lie" said goodbye to Dani Moz, while Usher said "Goodbye" to T.J. Wilkins.

Children's right to active participation, to give their opinions on decisions which concern them and be heard by adults constitutes a basic and essential component in the process of building responsible citizenship.
One of the most important lessons learned over the last decade is the acknowledgement of the essential nature of the vision and perspective of children in the challenging task of ensuring that the right to participation is effective. The intervention of the children themselves when addressing participation laws, proposals and programmes has thus become one of the basic conditions in the formulation and/or redesign of public policies. A significant reflection of this realization is the emergence of opportunities for dialogue and direct consultation with adolescents in Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay, known as "consultative councils", as well as the expansion of participation experiences throughout the region.
On the basis of an express mandate from the States, the IIN has produced papers and organized presentations and events on participation; namely:
• Cartagena de Indias, July 2007 and Querétaro, Mexico, April 2008.
• IIN working paper on "Child participation experiences in the promotion, application and defence of their rights", April 2008.
• Working paper on "The principle of child participation: an approach to the design of a theoretical framework", February 2009.
• UNICEF Presentation on "Adolescent Participation", February 2009.
• Presentation of Ecuador's National Children's Consultative Council, February 2009.
• The First Pan-American Child Forum; an opportunity for dialogue, opinion and incidence at the highest levels of decision-making in the OAS, as regards children's and adolescent's rights. This event was consolidated and institutionalized in the framework of the Twentieth Pan-American Child Congress and future congresses.
• Realization of four meetings of the Intergenerational Participation Working Group, concentrating and strengthening the work carried out by the Network of Technical Liaison Officers for the Promotion of Participation. The Working Group has been meeting since 2009.
• Development of a Model of Participation which includes the experiences of countries in promoting participation, strategies for learning and developing capacity (online courses) and framework documents for conceptual consensus and reflection/action regarding participation: a Framework of Reference, Menu of Indicators, a Guide for the Formulation of Public Policies for Participation and a Toolkit to promote and protect participation.
We have also developed the web site "Nuestra Voz en Colores" (Our Voice in Colour) with the aim of encouraging exchanges regarding child and adolescent participation.

Reason HBK didn't mention Flair by name at the HOF ceremony
Apr 3, 2011 - by Steve Gerweck
Despite being present in Atlanta last night, Shawn Michaels didn't not mention buddy Ric Flair by name during his acceptance speech, and here is the reason why. Flair's contract with TNA bars him from appearing at any other televised wrestling event. WWE can use old footage of him, but not new footage under his new TNA contract.

In an act of pure evil, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has joined the appeal of a frivolous lawsuit in federal court in Washington, DC that seeks to screw millions of Americans out of health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
Halbig v. Sebelius, filed by Affordable Care Act opponents last year in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks to use an irrelevant legal technicality to deny tax credits for people who purchase health insurance policies in the 34 states, including Michigan, which refused to establish their own state exchanges. In these states, the federal government created the exchanges, which include the Michigan Health Insurance Marketplace, which is accessed through the federal website, www.healthcare.gov.
In filing this frivolous lawsuit, the plaintiffs want to gut the law's obvious intent by citing a minor drafting error in it to exclude millions of consumers, including those in Michigan, from affordability credits that are central to health care reform.
A section of the Affordable Care Act authorizes federal subsidies for health care coverage obtained on an "Exchange established by the State under section 1311." This passage should have been written to include the exchanges established by the federal government on behalf of Michigan and 33 other states. Under the interpretation of Schuette and the plaintiffs, subsidies to help people purchase insurance would only be available in 16 states that established their own exchanges.
But as a matter of legislative history, Congress intended these subsidies to be available regardless of whether the state or federal government was administering the exchanges, and all sides perfectly understood the law's intent. When legislators in Michigan and elsewhere debated whether to establish state exchanges or leave it to the federal government, no one argued that the decision to establish a federal exchange would prevent consumers from receiving these subsidies.
So far, 86 percent of Michigan residents purchasing health insurance policies at the Michigan Health Insurance Marketplace have received tax credits to help them cover the costs. It is estimated that a win for the plaintiffs would cost Michigan consumers $2.5 billion.
Destroying the subsidies, which Schuette and the plaintiffs want to do, would make health insurance under the individual mandate unaffordable for millions of Americans, which in turn would destroy the law's insurance market reforms.
Judge Paul Friedman found the plaintiffs' arguments unpersuasive and contrary to the Affordable Care Act's central purpose, and in January ruled in favor of the defendants.
"Plaintiffs' proposed construction in this case – that tax credits are available only for those purchasing insurance from state-run Exchanges – runs counter to this central purpose of the ACA: to provide affordable health care to virtually all Americans," said Friedman. "Such an interpretation would violate the basic rule of statutory construction that a court must interpret a statute in light of its history and purpose."
In granting summary judgment, Friedman noted that the federal exchanges, including Michigan's, "would have no customers, and no purpose" if the plaintiffs' logic were accepted.
"In other words, even where a state does not actually establish an Exchange, the federal government can create 'an Exchange established by the State under [42 U.S.C. § 18031]' on behalf of that state," said Friedman.
"The Court finds that the plain text of the statute, the statutory structure, and the statutory purpose make clear that Congress intended to make (health insurance) premium tax credits available on both state-run and federally-facilitated Exchanges... And that must be the end of the matter; for the court, as well as the agency, must give effect to the unambiguously expressed intent of Congress."
This lawsuit was frivolous from the start when government agencies generally have broad discretion to interpret ambiguities in the law, and the Internal Revenue Service has ruled that federal exchanges may provide subsidies. There was also no evidence that the law's architects sought to limit health insurance premium tax credits as claimed by the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs have appealed Friedman's decision to the District of Columbia Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals. Schuette filed a brief in support of the plaintiffs on Feb. 6. Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for March 25.
As state attorney general, Schuette is supposed to be the people's lawyer. But by joining in the Halbig case on the plaintiff side, he has shown that he only has the selfish interests of insurance companies in mind, such as hefty profits, excessively high pay for the top executives and abusive practices. By acting contrary to the public interest, Schuette has disgraced his office.
Kalamazoo attorney Mark Totten, Schuette's Democratic opponent, called Schuette's actions "outrageous and wrong." We should also keep in mind that if we had Single Payer, this asinine lawsuit could have never been filed in the first place.

"Christmas is forever." These words appear on the gravestone of hotel entrepreneur Conrad N. Hilton, a devout Catholic who established the Los Angeles-based family foundation that bears his name. In the view of his grandson and the foundation's current president, Steven M. Hilton, the sentiment behind this epitaph extends beyond the Christian faith, encompassing the loving and giving that lie at the core of all major spiritual traditions. The Foundation Center asked Mr. Hilton:
Why and how does the Hilton Foundation pursue its chosen program areas, and in what ways do you work with colleague organizations?
"It comes down to donor intent. The foundation's mission and guiding philosophy were drawn from Conrad Hilton's Last Will and Testament. We take his intentions and hopes for the foundation very seriously, as seen in our Annual Report and on our web site, which consistently include quotes from the Last Will. In fact, when you walk into our offices, you see an etched glass excerpt from his will. Additionally, we request that each board member sign a document promising to honor the spirit of his Last Will. As a family foundation, we look beyond the specific language to the personality of Conrad Hilton, who was incredibly enthusiastic and a great entrepreneur, and incorporate these qualities into all we do. His vision for the foundation was 'relieving the suffering, the distressed, and the destitute' in areas of great need, and 'sheltering little children with the umbrella of charity,' as well as 'supporting Catholic sisters.' There are no territorial, religious, or demographic restrictions — the guidelines are broad enough to give the foundation's board and staff the flexibility to carry out his original intent while responding to the needs of today.
"We look for significant humanitarian needs that are underfunded or overlooked, and, working with expert consultants and in-house staff, strive to impact the largest number of people in the most effective way. We also leverage our resources and strategies by learning from and partnering with other grantmakers — particularly those who have already been involved in areas of interest that are new for us — to jointly fund different initiatives. We encourage other funders to participate in supporting our areas of focus through matching and challenge grants. A defining component of our grantmaking strategy over the past couple of decades has been large multi-year grants that enable us to stay with issues for many years: clean water, drug abuse prevention, and homelessness have been our areas of long-term focus. The chronic homeless are the most difficult to reach due to drug abuse, mental illness, or both. We have been concentrating on this challenge, particularly in L.A., which is considered the homelessness capital of the U.S. and is right in our backyard. I feel on a personal level that what we at the foundation do is an incredible blessing and a way to reach out and make a positive difference in the world. It is a spiritual path that brings us all together — funders, grantees, and those in need whom we strive to assist."
