Nokia Siemens Said to Renegotiate Motorola Solutions Deal
Nokia Siemens Networks is seeking to renegotiate its $1.2 billion purchase of wireless network assets from Motorola Solutions Inc., according to two people close to the situation.
The network-equipment joint venture between Nokia Oyj and Siemens AG wants to exclude the Global System for Mobile communications, or GSM, unit from the acquisition and renegotiate the price accordingly in order to win antitrust approval by the Chinese government, said one of the people, who declined to be identified because the talks are private.
The Espoo, Finland-based company said March 9 that the deal won't close in the first quarter, resulting in the second delay in three months. Motorola Solutions said the Chinese government extended its review period for another 60 days. The purchase, announced in July when the two companies targeted a year-end close, won approval of the U.S. and European Union regulators.
"When you look at what Nokia Siemens is acquiring, I don't think GSM was a big piece of what they were trying to get their hands on," said Matthew Thornton, a Boston-based analyst with Avian Securities LLC. "I think the North American market which is of course the CDMA assets was probably a lot more strategically important to them."
Ben Roome, a spokesman for Nokia Siemens Networks, declined to comment as did Schaumburg, Illinois-based Motorola Solutions' spokesman Nick Sweers.
GSM Operations
Motorola Solutions slid as much as 3.4 percent in New York and traded down 1.6 percent at $40.32 as of 11:38 a.m. local time. Siemens fell 0.3 percent to 89.60 euros in Frankfurt, while Nokia slipped 2.6 percent to 5.74 euros in Helsinki.
Avian's Thornton estimates the GSM business probably accounted for about $900 million to $1 billion of Motorola Solutions' revenue in 2010, or about 25 percent of the total networks business sales. It probably contracted from about 35 percent of revenue, or $1.4 billion, in 2009 as carriers spent more on CDMA networks last year, he said.
Nokia Siemens was formed in 2007 from the merger of equipment units of Nokia and Siemens, both of which promoted the GSM standards used by most carriers outside the U.S. and east Asia. Motorola Solutions sells GSM systems as well as gear based on CDMA, which is used by some North American and east Asian carriers, and so-called fourth-generation technologies LTE and WiMAX. Nokia Siemens also has LTE contracts.
Chinese Objection
Nokia Siemens' purchase is aimed at buttressing its position as the world's second-largest maker of wireless network equipment, competing with Stockholm-based market leader Ericsson AB, China's Huawei Technologies Co. and Paris-based Alcatel-Lucent SA. It would bring more than 50 accounts at existing or new customers, significantly expanding its reach in the U.S. and Japan, Nokia Siemens said when it announced the deal.
The Chinese antitrust review comes after Huawei, China's biggest maker of telecommunications equipment, sued Motorola and Nokia Siemens Jan. 24 saying Motorola hadn't provided assurances that it would prevent disclosures about Huawei technology and products to Nokia Siemens. Motorola has sold Huawei's wireless-network products under the Motorola name since 2000.
Last month, Huawei had to withdraw its purchase of Santa Clara, California-based 3Leaf Systems' patents, in compliance with a recommendation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States due to concerns for national security.

A WOMAN in her 20s was killed in a crash on the M40, while her infant baby daughter has been flown to hospital, police have just confirmed.
The woman was killed when her green Peugeot 406 estate and a red arctic lorry collided on the southbound carriageway of the motorway just before junction 9 at Bicester.
The carriageway was closed but two lanes have been re-opened, a police spokesman confirmed. There are still significant tailbacks on the motorway.
The baby, who is the daughter of the woman and is just a few weeks old, was flown by air ambulance to hospitalf ro treatment.
"It is not believed the baby is injured however she remains at hospital as a precaution," the spokesman said.
He added: "Two lanes of the southbound carriageway have now been reopened however there remain lengthy tailbacks and motorists are advised to avoid the area. Many arterial routes have also been affected."
Police are appealing for any witnesses to call them on 101, quoting URN 559 13/6.

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I ordered (and received) the Home Mat. I have been decorating cakes for just under a year, as a hobby, for family and friends. I have used The Mat 3 times and have to say this is the best decorating tool that I have purchased. I really enjoy working with fondant and The Mat has taken all the guess work out of how much fondant to use and eliminated having to constantly measure the size that I've rolled out. I love The Mat and am so happy I ordered it. Greatest invention ever! Thank you so much.
Kind regards,

Eric forgot to list the three (count 'em, three!) marijuana victories in Hailey, Idaho
What do Sacramento, St. Louis, San Jose and LOS freaking ANGELES have in common? They all have better mass transit than Seattle. Something to be proud of, huh?
And Seattle is a better place to live than all of those places, with its "inferior" mass transit. Maybe that's not a coincidence.
Dude, Eyman's initiative is unconstitutional, as are all of his initiatives.
Why should we do the work that the courts are too lazy to do?
That said, Seattle killed RTID/ST2 because increasing global warming and underfunding the 520 bridge replacement with a REGRESSIVE SALES TAX instead of MVET or Gas Tax was just a really really stupid idea.
Yeah, East St. Louis is a wonderful, wonderful place!
Hit the nail on the head, Dan. If these propositions had been on the Nov. 2008, with twice the voter turnout of the Nov. 2007 ballot, the shift would have been 10 percentage points, or more, in the right direction. (The cynic in me says that sometimes the Powers That Be know all this and put these measures on the off-off-year ballot purposefully, intending this result)
Uh, maybe he hasn't noticed, but Sound Transit went up for a vote, including a statewide vote, and passed every time. That's all transit, so if an all light rail initiative went up, I think it would pass.
For the love of God, please DO move back to Portland. If every whiner who "considered" moving if Prop 1 failed actually followed through, maybe we could reduce congestion for free...
Also, as has been discussed to death here and on other NW blogs, Portland does have a great mass transit system -- great for everyone living in or very close to the urban core. Everyone else? Not so much. And don't get me started on actual ridership numbers.
Wrong - ST lost in 1995 in three counties, and won in 1996 in those same three counties. It's never been voted on statewide.
Prop 1 lost big in King County - so I'd quit blaming right-wingers for the fact that Capitol Hill-centric thinking simply doesn't move Democrats who exist outside of the Stranger's bubble.
Eric is sadly mistaken.
Anybody who disagrees with me on any one of my various political positions or candidates I support is evil. If you filled out your ballot exactly the same way I filed out my ballot, all is well. Deviate from that -- that being my ballot -- and you are disgusting. Clear enough?
The critical words above are me and my; that is elenchos. Does it say Eric Koszyk anywhere? No. It makes no difference if you disagree with Eric. What matters is that my set of preconceptions are perfection itself, and all other views are beneath contempt. Eric is behaving as if his politics are comparable with my politics, but that is absurd. Only one of us can be right, and I know who that is much better than anyone.
Please make a note of it.
PS: Eric, you're going to hate Portland. Those people each thing they are right! It's chaos.
Have fun in Portland, Eric, where they'd rather have cheap cigarettes than health insurance for their kids.
CALM DOWN!! Yeah Eric is an idiot but he is a LIBERAL idiot and at the end of the day we need even the idiot liberals to turn out on election day. He should stay in Seattle. We still need his vote on progressive issues. Even if he is an idiot, as long as he votes the right way.
Eric is entirely correct. And elenchos is completely, utterly wrong, as is obvious by his disagreement with me.
As for this, Dan ...
[if] voter turnout is important to liberal, progressive measures like Simple Majority or transit initiatives, the Powers Dat Be might not wanna put those sorts of things on the ballot during off-year elections.
... well, why didn't the hicks out east have a problem showing up on an off-year?
Another "Seattle sucks, I love (Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, etc)" Slog post.
Also, by the way, to the genius Portlander who wrote this post--have you ever BEEN to St. Louis and ridden the mass transit there? Trust me. It's not better than Seattle's. Ditto on Los Angeles.
ST did not push to be tied to roads, dividing the progressive vote.
The STATE legislature tied the two things together.
Folks from WALLA WALLA got to tell us here in our region how to use our local tax base for our local transportation projects.
Maybe ST should have said "no way" from the start, but they had little choice as it was STATE LAW that made this thing go to the ballot this year.
Note these are the same stupid reactionary legislators who FAIL TO VOTE FOR A GAS TAX to fund all these roads and wanted to shove the funding off on us here locally.
Basic rule of politics: don't divide your base.
Meanwhile, the governorship in KY makes that not an off off year there.
The failure to focus on Eyman's thing was a failure, yes, and note that absolutely none of our local leaders really did a damn thing about it. I didn't exactly see Gregoire campapigning against it or trying to raise the profile of that issue.
WiS: Why should we even let Eyman's harebrained ideas reach the point of wasting more taxpayer money and court time? Every time one of his initiatives passes and the courts strike it down, it just gives him more ammunition for his "government ignores the will of the people" argument. And everyone lines up to vote for the next shitty initiative. Ingenious in its asininity.
As to the voter turnout, well, I can't disagree with the ranter's premise there. Some pretty sizable counties (Spokane, Yakima, Benton, Clark) had turnouts of 35% or more, much better than the 24-25% of King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Sad.
I disagree with the assertion that politicians in this state should be astute enough to only put "important" measures on ballots only during even-numbered years, when we're also holding federal elections. Our state legislature meets EVERY YEAR, starting in January. They pass laws, budgets, and other things to... well... govern! Get things done. Or at least try to. And the people of Washington previously demanded a huge say in how things are done - so, that means initiatives, advisory votes, approval of laws and measures, and all sorts of things in which we have to choose to give our say.
Do you really want public consent on laws, public say via the initiative process, public say on constitutional amendments, and the public voice in general on issues like transit and taxes to wait until we're also electing a new federal Congress every TWO YEARS? Two years? In that span of time, in which a child is born and learns to walk and talk, you want these important issues to sit and WAIT?? If so, then tell government to stop during that intervening year. Here are some options:
1. Tell the state legislature to pack it up every other year. Have them meet for a few months every other year, so there are no important measures or laws waiting in the off year. Then, our state legislature will be just as much of a joke as the Texas legislature, which (you guessed it!) only meets for a handful of months every other year. Oh, and do the same to city and county councils, so those pesky local-level initatives and votes aren't left alone on those off years as well.
2. Amend the state constitution to severely restrict the initiative, public vote, advisory vote, and public consent requirements for so many laws in this state. Do the same on the county and city level. Just toss those direct democracy and "citizen check on government" rights back to the state legislature, county council, city council, etc..
3. Demand less of your government. Then, the government will have less responsibilities, less money to raise, no infrastructure to maintain, no schools to fund, etc. You take care of your life, I'll take car eof mine, and there won't be any bothersome voting to ignore.
Don't like those options? Perhaps there are others. Those are the only ones I can come up with off the top of my head. Here's my best idea: grow up and vote. The world is run by those who show up... ON VOTING DAY. And not just that: talk to people around you about your votes - your family, friends, co-workers... even people you meet on the streets. If we still don't show up when it's time to be counted, we've no one to blame but ourselves. Not the state legislature or local government for putting issues on the ballot in an "off year", not Tim Eyman for surfacing again. Just us.
Unless, of course, you voted. :-)
This election was like a potluck: There was something to piss everybody off.
And Eric (may I call you Eric?), moving to Portland isn't going to save you when Empress Giuliani is coronated in January, 2009.
Think Canada.

Dude, how about putting your money where your mouth is? I've got a $350,000 home I'd be happy to sell you. I can't ship outta here until I unload my place.
I pulled a couple tubers right before I went over.
I was cooked and the women helping me out know it. I was so scared I thought she was gonna call the cops so I ran out of there so fast ran home and hid under my bed. I only came out to save the brownies I had in the oven. I ate whole pan all by myself. I just remembered I never voted. alway's next year.
Oh stop whining, cressona. Go smoke a cigarette in Portland - you can always realize the housing prices were inflated (source: WSJ) by 26 percent here.
@8 Eyman got an initiative on the ballot that would have repealed Sound Transit. It was defeated.
Well, regardless of your feelings on Prop 1, you have to admit that, with regard to 960 and Simple Majority, we pretty much did shit the bed.
See I can't even spell knew
While anything less than 100% turnout should be considered less-than-wonderful, King County's 2007 turnout was not abnormally low. According to the Secretary of State's Voter Turnout page, there are still 199,000 ballots that haven't yet been added to the count.
If that's correct -- and it doesn't count the ballots that arrived at KC Elections today, or tomorrow, or the next day, or ... -- then I'd guesstimate King Count turnout at around 47%. Which is waaaaay higher than in 2003, the most comparable year (off-year, no County Executive election). Back then, King County turnout was 35.7%.
Will (Build Elevated Freeways) in Seattle @21:
Oh stop whining, cressona. Go smoke a cigarette in Portland - you can always realize the housing prices were inflated (source: WSJ) by 26 percent here.
Will, all I did was express a willingness to sell my home and ultimately ship out of Seattle. How is that whining? I would think that's the antithesis of whining.
BTW, I'm not necessarily so enamored of Portland. I'd be happy to take suggestions where to move.
Actually from what I remember the exit polling they were talking about on NPR showed that 960 had a good amount of democratic support, maybe it was just the bad democrats went out to vote...
Having lived in LA for the past six years, and having visited Seattle ... three times in the past six years, I would be willing to say that I have used PT in Seattle more times that I've used PT in LA. So, no, LA doesn't have better public transit.
See, you get stomped in an election, cressona, and you just can't stop using Karl Marx Rove tactics.
Get over it.
Cressona, try New England, the ONLY thing to do there is vote.
St. Louis's Metro is ok, but nothing compared to The El in Chicago or New York's subway system. It has two lines that run every 10 -15 minutes and shut down after midnight (later on the weekends).
That said, it is better than nothing. It is refreshing to know St. Louis is better at something than Seattle. Ok, that make the score 587 to 1, but it is a moral victory.
Also, Portland has that many strip clubs? Nice!
I'm more worried about the election of a lot of pro-police guild officials who will definitely blunt any push for real accountability for the SPD.
It seemed like the guild took a direct hand in some of those races, sorta frightens me how much power they wield over the government here.
to joykiller:
As someone who is from the burbs west of Portland and saw them struggle to fund a very small lightrail system more than 15 years ago you need to pull your head out of your arse! Portland started with one lightrail line but the system has extended steadily and now serves a huge expanse of the metro area.
When is Seattle going to wake up and realize that we are never going to have the PERFECT package but we need to move forward instead of constantly complaining. Ron Sims and sadly, the Sierra Club did this city a huge dis-service that's likely to mean that Seattle won't have lightrail until I have grandkids. Very sad day for our so called liberal city!
I love Seattle more than anywhere, but seriously.... light rail. NOW.
I'm not going anywhere but there is this simple fact that Seattle and it's surrounding areas would be even better with light rail.
Just need to figure out how to pay for it.
Go to Portland.
They are choking on traffic just as badly as Seattle is, in spite of their 'Max' and superior bus services.
They also have a state income tax which bites a lot harder than a sales tax.
The outcome of this election was entirely predictable. It's all about money kids, and in case you hadn't noticed, the grownups have run out of it.
Looking forward to years of lean incomes, falling home prices, and increasing inflation, the voters shut their wallets.
So, go. Go to Portland, Baltimore, East Bumfuck, who gives a shit, just get outta here.
Portland has *terrible* strip clubs. Every bit as bad as Seattle.
Cressona, don't move. In the real world pragmatic Democrats like you and I are the ones who actually get things accomplished. Seattle needs you.
@35 "They also have a state income tax which bites a lot harder than a sales tax."
For who, white man? Whatever you're smoking, put it down. For most folks, a sales tax is far more onerous than an income tax. That's why it's called "regressive." Duh.
I live on Capitol Hill and never received my ballot! The same happened to a friend in a building about a block away. What the hell???
Don't worry about your missing ballot. As long as you wait until the day after the election and report it on the blog of your choice, your vote still counts.
Eyman's initiative just got ruled unconstitutional. Unfortunately not i-960, but i-747 from 2001.
And 6-7% of the No votes from Prop 1 acc. to exit polls show that global warming was the reason they voted no.
So, yeah, the roads thing being in there guaranteed that Prop 1 sank. Otherwise, it would have been a close tie.
I think those of you pushing for a state income tax should seriously re-think your position. A tax on income is going to benefit the wealthy and hurt those of us who aren't -- we'll end up paying a much larger share of our income than they will, just like we do now with the national income tax.
The greatest aspect of consumption-based taxes like we have here in Washington is that if you don't like paying taxes you don't have to buy anything, except food which isn't taxed. Taxing income is taxing productivity and I don't think that's good policy as people will always find ways to avoid paying those kind of taxes. I've never seen a more creative person than a millionaire who figures out how to pay no federal income tax every year.
Another option for revenue that isn't explored nearly enough is to introduce a series of luxury taxes. Tax yachts, sports cars, and homes over 3000square feet. Introduce a sur-tax on property assesed at over $1 million. Tax all inheritence over $50,000 at a rate of 50%. Inherited wealth is the first step to aristocracy anyway, so why not nip it in the bud?
There are financing options that don't have to put an unfair burden on the poor and middle class. The wealthy got that way because of the society that was built on the backs of the poor and the middle class. We've got more millionaires now than we've ever had and we're having problems getting enough money to run the schools and fund the cops.
It's time to stop taxing productivity and start taxing wealth.
@41 - A flat income tax would be regressive and hurt the poor/middle class, as you say, but state income tax advocates aren't pushing for that. They (generally) advocate a progressive income tax with higher rates for higher tax brackets - which would, in fact, tax wealth more than work.
They have bad traffic in Portland because they never build any more lanes and its continually growing (I'm not saying that's the answer to congestion but it does help incrementally). The Fwy system down there also suffers from poor design. All you have to do is drive from Vancouver where the fwy was basically rebuilt across to Portland and you will notice the difference immediatley. I've heard from more than one person that they flat out refuse to consider widening any freeway in the Portland Metro Area. I could be wrong though.
Also, they've never built any HOV Lane network of any kind on any of their freeways. The only HOV Lane that I know of the Portland area is on I-5 Northbound from rougly north of the northbound junction of 405 and I-5 which goes to the Columbia River Crossing. They basically just chose to build light rail and invest in that instead. If we ever get around to building light rail here, I think we'll have the much better integrated system beacuse of all the different modes we will have invested in at that time.
Why do you think it is that wealthy people set up foundations for a lot of their wealth? Some of its philathropical,sure,but a good portion of it is basically to avoid taxes. No OTHER reason. An income tax especially a high one just makes the wealthy move their money around with accounting schemes and such to avoid paying the income taxes.
hmmm, suddenly any other city but seattle (if you can call it that) is starting to look good. the bad clothes, the stink, the complainers, the whiners...etc, etc.
Valid point, Brian @44. The only reason a wealthy person pays more than about 8 percent in income tax is because they're not hiring the right accountants and lawyers.
Trusts and foundations work wonders.
But there is one problem - our state constitution permits a one percent flat tax with a standard exemption only (e.g. we could tax 1 percent with a $40,000 income allowance), but it could include earnings from dividends and capital gains and still be permissable.
hmmm, suddenly any other city but seattle (if you can call it that) is starting to look good. the bad clothes, the stink, the complainers, the whiners...etc, etc.
What are you talking about? Our clothes are just fine.
I moved her from Sacramento 6 years ago. Here is a better place to live here, but it does make me embarrassed that Sacto has light rail but Seattle doesn't. It should embarrass everyone in Seattle, too.
Like Cresonna, I'm planning to I'm move somewhere else from here in a few years, after I finish my Master in Teaching. I could stand the provincialism for awhile, but I'm so tired of each city in this region refusing to admit they're part of a larger region and actually act like it. It's bizarre and counterproductive and it's unpleasant to live around. I'm looking to the Bay Area (expensive, but near family) or Chicago to settle. I'm looking to upgrade to a bigger city/region, so Portland's out for me.
It's time to stop taxing productivity and start taxing wealth.
I hate to go Econ 101, P leads to W, which gets reinvested and leads to more P, which results in more W, and so on.
Or, as you suggest, you can just take it all, and see how long you have much of either.
very funny - just funny
I bet the ballot office gets more than one who wanders in to get a ballot the day after - and those are all R. voters
Speaking of Utah Salt Lake CIty had a running light rail a decade before Seattle. I would have preferred More rail and less road in the RTID. While your on your way to work, stuck in traffic, look around. The vast majority of people in this area drive to work. People will not vote to support rail alone until they start riding it. We need a compromise to get started and then as we build ridership we can make a real mass transit system. We have been fucking around with failed proposals for over thirty years. A good all rail proposal will never pass.
Sure, Max goes lots of places. But who fucking rides it? The Portland equivalent of Cap Hill hipsters, and not much else.
Outside of the brewpubs, it's not really clear what people are so envious of.
@51: yeah, Salt Lake has rail. And it still gets stuck and runs late occasionally. Imagine that!
Hey, if he needs to leave to be happier, more power to him. I'm happier here than I was in Portland, but I still love Portland, I just happen to have more love for Seattle. That's life, that's all.
Let me tell you, Eric, how I feel about transit. I voted 4 times to build the monorail. Then when they said it was going to cost ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS, I voted against it.
This city does not know how to spend tax dollars wisely. No, wait - I take that back. I meant to say that this city is INCAPABLE of doing anything correct or efficient with transit. Only the Bush Administration is more incompetent (and I suspect they fuck things up on purpose).
Therefore, I vote against all taxes. I may not like that turd Eyman, but at least I know he isn't going to piss away my money on nothing.
I don't think this was so much a right wing vote as it was a vote for fiscal conservation. Right wing carries a ton of connotation that's not really relevant.
Also, using the MVET is a bad idea, period. It killed the monorail and was a huge strike against Prop 1 among most voters. Some people have beaters and would've paid $40 a year, but anyone with newer vehicles, even hybrids, would've been on the hook for hundreds of dollars. People don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for car tabs.
Prop 1 falling wasn't about polar bears or hating roads or hating transit so much as it was about not wanting to spend 50 years paying $400-600+ a year just to register a car.
You need a better funding source for rail than the MVET, or you're not getting rail. Period.
Gomez said:
"I don't think this was so much a right wing vote as it was a vote for fiscal conservation"
That's what I've taken away from this election, too. Voters here are basically somewhat Democratic but cautious with their money- seems like a western thing. Global warming doesn't trump personal economics. Will and all the guys planning the 2008 transit effort- factor this in or you (and by extension, all of us) will get burned. Figure out a way to make transit happen without appearing like a bunch of global-warming fanatic, nanny killjoy spendthrifts.

The Awakening Chapter 5 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Chapter 5
- For the past eleven years (since he was fifteen), Robert has spent every summer devoted to a woman (usually a married woman).
- This summer, Edna is the recipient of Robert's affections. So far, they've only flirted, which none of the spectators take seriously.
- We learn that Creole husbands are never jealous anyway.
- Edna finally gets up from the steps to work on a sketch – she has been dabbling with art in an unprofessional way and really enjoys it.
- She tries to sketch a picture of Adele, but doesn't like the result and crumples it up.
- As evening draws near, Adele gathers up her things and heads for home.
- Edna watches as Adele floats down the path like an angel in her white dress as her children run to greet her.
- Robert asks Edna if she plans to go swimming.
- Edna says no, that she is too tired, but Robert says: "Come on. Let's go!" (Well, something like that.)
- He convinces her that the water will not hurt her.
- Edna allows herself to be convinced (she obviously likes Robert even though she hasn't admitted it yet) and she accompanies Robert to the beach.

Blues are alive
I had this album about 17 years ago but it got worn and then lost. I missed my dose of this album and the 1 or 2 tracks I heard now and again just made me want to hear it all again.
Goodbye old cassette - Hello replacement CD!!!!!!!
About as good a live Gary Moore album as you will ever find! Had on cassette and wore it out! The energy of Gary Moore is well and truly captured on this classy live album, featuring a full blues band with horn section. Story of the Blues and Parisienne Walkways are live classics and there are oodles of blues standards played with fire here! So glad I found this album on CD on e-bay to replace my stretched and tired cassette!Read full review...
Blues with Attitude!
I wanted a Gary Moore Blues Album, sourced this on e-bay and think it is excellent. I was a bit sceptical about his vocals on other live recordings and have heard the same said by others previously as well, however, I found the vocals on this live recording very good. I loaded it onto my MP3 player, it became the soundtrack to my holiday and it will be a Cold Day in Hell before I take it off again. If you like blues and appreciate fine guitar playing with real attitude then try and grab yourself a copy, you won't be disappointed.Read full review...
Blues Alive
Garry Moore at his best playing the blues as they should be played, live.
A much under rated Master of his craft.
Gary Moore's Live Masterpiece
An absolutely excellent selection of his blues classics, all better than the original studio recordings with some outstanding fretwork. (i suppose blues generally is) I'd already heard some of the cd before i bought it and just had to buy it, and yet again e-bay provided what i couldn't seem to see in the shops. If You are a gary moore fan, or just a fan of the blues this album is a must.Read full review...

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - Testimony has ended for the day in a military hearing to determine if a Fort Hood Army psychiatrist should stand trial for the worst mass shooting at an American military base.
Maj. Nidal Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.
Two 911 calls were played in court Tuesday and nine witnesses testified, many of them soldiers.
A civilian nurse said three young soldiers showed no fear as a lone gunman approached them during the Nov. 5 rampage.
Hasan remains jailed. There is no bail in the military justice system. The hearing resumes on Wednesday.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
An entertaining import; push this for threesomes, anal, and youthful girl/girl actions.
This import gets as nasty as necessary with plenty of anal, threesomes, girl/girl and the works. It also has offbeat moments like when Sue, wearing a bright orange top and socks, is seen blowing one guy while jerking off another with her feet. Chewing gum and walking at the same time would be no challenge for this girl.
Claudia Rossi opens especially wide for her anal visitation. Also notable is the Liz Honey/Gilda Joy coupling prior, and during, an anal from one of the studs.

ARLINGTON, Virginia U.S. farmers will plant massive corn and soybean crops this spring but it may take more than two years to rebuild razor-thin stocks and quell the global surge in grain prices, the U.S. Agriculture Department said on Thursday.
With growing concern among world governments over rising food prices, the U.S. corn stockpile is forecast to be the smallest since 1996 and soybeans would amount to a mere two-week supply by time this year's crops were ready for harvest.
"While it is often said the cure for high prices is high prices, even with additional supplies expected this year, it is likely that the tight stocks-to-use situation will not be entirely mitigated over the course of one or even two growing seasons," USDA Chief Economist Joseph Glauber told the department's annual outlook conference on Thursday.
The planting forecasts were unchanged from the department's projections made earlier this month, surprising some analysts that the department didn't trim the numbers somewhat.
"It should be bullish all around even though the USDA stuck to their higher estimates than I probably would have done," said Jack Scoville, analyst for Price Futures Group.
"It seems to me they're implying some very strong demand here because the ending stocks estimates remain pretty tight, really across the board," he added.
U.S. farmers will plant the second largest corn crop since 1944 at 92 million acres and plant 78 million acres with soybeans, a record amount.
USDA projects the corn crop to be a record 13.73 billion bushels, down from the initial estimate of 13.755 billion. The U.S. soy crop will reach 3.345 billion bushels, down from USDA's initial estimate of 3.355 million.
The USDA pegged 2011/12 U.S. corn ending stocks at 865 million bushels, and soybeans stocks at 160 million bushels.
Ethanol makers are expected to consume a record 5 billion bushels of corn this year, or some 36 percent of the harvest.
Despite criticism that using food for fuel was helping to drive up prices, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told the conference the government had no intention of scaling back on ethanol.
"There is no reason for us to take the foot off the gas," Vilsack told the conference. "This is a great opportunity for us because we can do it all, make no mistake about it."
Despite a recent pullback, agricultural commodity prices have surged during the last year to their highest levels since the 2008 global food scare following catastrophic storms and droughts that have slammed the world's leading agriculture countries.
Tight global commodity stockpiles have pushed food prices higher, making it harder for the poor and contributing to political unrest in countries with high poverty rates and unemployment.
The turmoil has highlighted the need for farmers in the United States, the world's biggest exporter, to grow larger crops this year and replenish tight supplies.

alien shipwreck by MacRebiszWatch
©2011-2016 MacRebisz
some guys investigating old wreck of alien spaceship.
As lots of people have already mentioned, this reminds me of a creepy spider.
It reminds me of a jumping spider!
Maybe a ship that belongs to race of spider race beings, looks like the ship is made from their webs , Anyway this is pretty awesome.
The colors are just fantastic!
looks like a giant spider
I thought it was a spider before I read the description
I'm commenting out of wonder and annoyance - the sheer simpleness of the lines combined with the brilliant-blue light amaze me.
.. and make me jealous at your skill.
.. and make me jealous at your skill.
Looks really great. I like the contrast in detail between the alien spaceship and the lighted spaceship. They're nicely contrasted.
very nice!
quietly and powerfully
Love the organic shapes on the wreck and the contrast with the little explorers always love those cute kitten ships
I love your mark making
reminds me of a cute kitty. seriously.
I love this alien spaceship
Wow! Now thats what I call a bizarre space vessel. Incredible depth! Its like the ship has been around for a millenia and has become covered in something otherworldly, like moss on a tree or ivy on a wall etc. I particularly like the central piece, almost eye like structure. has an arachnid, menacing quality, like its about to grab the ship in the foreground.
love the scale and lighting mate.
Exceptional piece of work.

Plugin seems to be working.
One thing that seems to be missing is how to change the order of the meta fields in the backend.
I just added a meta field ,but it just gets appended all the way at the end of the taxonomy edit page ... would be nice if we could change the order of those fields.
Any temporary hack (I even want to go hardcore DB on thisone) , before this possibly sees a release in a next update.

Cabaret and burlesque are back in fashion – and booming like never before. But will the scene lose its divinely decadent edge now that it has hit the mainstream? Holly Williams meets the leading lights and searches for secrets among the sequins
How to speak up for a space where speaking up is not exactly encouraged? Just one challenge facing the nationwide campaign against local library closures this year. "Please keep the noise down" isn't an ideal protest chant. Then again, perhaps libraries aren't quite as quiet as we all thought.
A wartime tragedy revisited
It was an accident that alerted Motek Grzmot's saviours to his presence. An accidental groan. Unconscious, slumped atop a cart, all but buried under a mound of corpses, Grzmot's battered body was destined to join a thousand others in the mass graves of postwar Europe. And then he groaned. Without realising it, he had saved himself. The Danish troops around him heard his cry and removed him from the pile – a pile headed directly for burial – before placing him on another vehicle, this one headed to a nearby hospital.
<i>The Independent on Sunday</i> has been inundated with stories about the role public libraries have played in readers' lives. Campaigns to stop councils from closing as many as half of their libraries are gathering pace, as public figures protest furiously about 'cultural vandalism'. They share their memories with Nina Lakhani
I am the world's last barman poet/ I see America drinking the cocktails I make/ America's getting stinking on things I stir or shake." So begins the worst performance-poem ever. When Tom Cruise hopped up on to the bar in the 1988 film, Cocktail, little did he know he was damning a whole generation of young men into believing that performance-poetry was a no-talent-necessary route to getting girls. When Tom rhymes "snazzy" with "kamikaze", a beautiful woman yells: "Give me a kiss you sexy beast!" If we're being generous to the film, it's readable as a critique of both cocktail waiters and performance poets: all flare, no content. At the end of the poem, the bar erupts in to a chant which, in all my years of attending readings, I'm still waiting to experience first-hand: "More poems! More poems!"
Boris Johnson is preparing to run for another four years as the Mayor of London, Conservative sources disclosed last night.
Fifteen years ago, the Independent on Sunday hired Helen Fielding as a restaurant reviewer, and I lucked into the role of regular reviewer's companion. Our first outing was to a hilariously pretentious restaurant in Bayswater's Hempel Hotel, where we were served designer Thai food by a team of off-duty supermodels in an atmosphere of utter solemnity. It was ridiculous, but enjoyable, in a mad sort of way.

First this is not a Holiday Inn Express. It was but it is now a Quality Inn & Suites - Quantico. We stopped here on the way back to Connecticut from Myrtle Beach. As always traffic was awful and this is about as far as we got before we called it a day. On the trip down we stayed at a Day's Inn in Fredericksburg which was awful. It was also cheap so we decided that on the way back we would pay a bit more and get a decent place. This hotel is located about 20 miles north of that part of Fredericksburg with all the hotels and motels. We found that place to be a bit sketchy. The area round this hotel was much better and somewhat off the main road and isolated. You get some privacy. Now the confusion. We checked on the GPS to see what hotels were in the area when we were tired of driving. We saw there was a Holiday Inn Express and we called, asked if there was a room available and asked that they hold it for us. We arrive in Stafford and start looking for the HIE. We have stayed at several HIE in the past and liked their quality, cleanliness and the free breakfast. After 10 minutes we call back and we say...we cant find you. No HIE anywhere where it is supposed to be. That is when they told us it was no longer an HIE but rather the Quality Inn and that is what their sign said.. Easy to find once you have the right name. Check in was easy. We used our AAA card for a discount. The room was clean, well appointed and comfortable. We were asleep about 30 minutes after we arrived. The next morning we had the free breakfast. Similar to HIE but not quite as much variety but still...good enough. Then we were off battling traffic for our way home. So...in the limited time we were there we thought the hotel was perfect for our needs. I would recommend it for people who are traveling through and need a clean comfortable place to stay just off the highway. There were some fast food places on the main drag near the hotel. Again this exit is less crazy than the ones near Fredericksburg. Because our stay was so short I can't say much more beyond that. I wish we had been able to drive further north but i-95 is a killer.

Schöne große helle Wohnung für einen guten Preis und zentral gelegen
Thank you, for at pleasent apartment i Berlin. Close to u-bahn, city, stores.....
Looking forward to visit Berlin again
Apologies for not doing this sooner but the apartment is fantastic and we had a brilliant trip to Berlin. Very central, very modern. Two things I would mention are maybe brief instructions on using the cooker, symbols explained - I was confused between oven and grill and the other thing is some guidance on rubbish. When to put it out, which bins belonged to Block 3 and when we tried to recycle bottles/cans etc we found the bin was locked and we didn't have a key. we left them on top and someone must have put them in the bin. But this would be useful so tenants don't leave this for you at the end of their stay.
> All very good though. Hazel
I hope to return to Berlin soon so I will book with you again.
Nice appartement at a good location near the U-bahn station. Clean and tidy, fast internet connection (wifi). Baby cot and high chair were available with no extra costs.

Old Seventies Newsreel Really Oversells the Subway Experience
"A modern concerto ... Pleasurable. Memorable."
A newsreel from the seventies — which, as Animal points out, "seems angled at tourists" — really went to greath lengths to exaggerate the wonder and magic of the subway.
"A modern concerto," says the narrator, describing the hot, smelly, crowded transportation system. "Ever the same, ever changing. Moving. Exciting. Always something new. Pleasurable. Memorable."
Pleasurable. Memorable. You will always remember the guy you saw pleasuring himself.

Going Clear
Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief
Lawrence Wright
Knopf, $28.95, 430 pp.
In early 2011, Lawrence Wright published a piece in the New Yorker describing both the recruitment of James Haggis by the Church of Scientology and his defection from it thirty-five years later. This book is essentially a larger and broader treatment of the church and its practices, as seen not only by Haggis (a highly successful screenwriter) and others, but also by church officials themselves.
Scientology has three tiers, Wright suggests. First, the Public Scientologists, as he calls them—ordinary men and women who join the church, perhaps participate in "auditing" (a kind of therapy), and, if they leave the organization, do so with little or no fanfare. A second tier is made up of celebrities, particularly movie stars, for whom the church runs Celebrity Centers in Hollywood and elsewhere. Much of Scientology's public image, for good or ill, comes from them, and they are expected both to contribute heavily to the institution and to speak out for it publicly. At the third level is the church's clergy, or Sea Org, the name derived from the years when L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology's founder, directed his followers from a small private fleet of ships.
Yet Going Clear is less...

Sean Holm
Hello, I'm Sean - a developer enjoying life in beautiful Melbourne, Australia with my young family.
I love developing solutions with the Microsoft technology stack (vstudio, .net framework, c#|vb|asp.net, sql server, azure - all that good stuff!) using clean coding techniques and following best practices. Occasionally you may find me dabbling in a bit of Ruby, Python, JavaScript, PHP or Java on the side.
I'm also interested in functional programming languages and my goal for this year is to learn more about F#, Haskell, Scala & Clojure!
One day I'll start a proper blog, but in the meantime you can find me over on twitter.

GENEVA (AP) -- An appeals body of the World Trade Organization has decided it lacked enough information to uphold China's objections to a U.S. law meant to help American companies that face unfair foreign competition.
The WTO appellate body said in an opinion Monday it was "unable to complete the analysis" and could not uphold China's appeal of a previous WTO ruling on the law signed by President Barack Obama in 2012.
But China claimed victory because the WTO panel did not overturn another part of the ruling that said the U.S. violated trade rules when it double-counted certain punishments on Chinese goods.
China's WTO mission in Geneva said in a statement that the panel's conclusions represent "another significant victory of China's challenge against the United States' abuse of trade remedy measures."

The musicians of Euphonasia have very extensive and eclectic professional backgrounds in music. They are full time professional musicians in the Washington DC area that decided to get together and create some music for the sheer joy of it. The name Euphonasia comes from the lead melodic instrument of the group which is a tenor brass instrument called a Euphonium. The difference is the euphonium is played through a slew of electronic effects, enhancing the smooth mellow sounds of the acoustic instrument.

Four Weeks After Being 'Dead,' Soccer's Fabrice Muamba Leaves Hospital
It was March 17 when Fabrice Muamba of the English Premier League's Bolton Wanderers collapsed on the pitch and for a little more than an hour, as one of his doctors put it, was "in effect, dead" as medical teams struggled to get his heart going again following a cardiac arrest.
Today, the 24-year-old soccer player was released from London Chest Hospital, the BBC reports.
While he has come a long way, as Sky News says "it is still unknown whether Muamba will play professional football again."

Books David Brin and "The Uplift War" Instead of "Ender's Game"
posted by July 29 at 16:30 PMon
Coming from someone who would curl up and read Ender's Game over and over again in middle school, Paul is right. Stop reading Orson Scott Card, the hateful homophobe.
Read David Brin instead.
Brin's Uplift Universe is among the best of science fiction, with one of the richest premises.
In the Uplift universe an intergalactic civilization called the Five Galaxies, comprising a multitude of sentient races, has existed for billions of years. This civilization is perpetuated by the act of Uplift, in which a "patron" species genetically modifies a non-sapient "client" species until it is sapient. The client species is typically indentured to its patron species for 100,000 years. A patron species gains considerable status, and patrons and clients often unite into powerful clans. Patron status can be lost due to extermination, or gross crimes against the galactic civilization.
In the culture of the books evolution is assumed to exist, just not the evolution of sapient intelligence.
Humanity, having evolved sapience in a quiet backwater, is a freakish anomaly in the scheme. Without a patron, humanity's very existence threatens the structure of the civilization. Therefore, humans do not have an easy go.
This is quality science fiction—less focused on technobabble and more on cultural interactions. The Uplift War is the finest in the series, and deserving of your attention.
As a bonus, David Brin is the closest I know to a Liberal Libertarian, with a blog filled with delightful missives like this:
— Another tedious reminder… I have long said dont forget local races. Booting the paleocons out of a dozen statehouses will do as much for America as anything else could. Indeed, nothing else could more devastatingly show the GOP that they must re-invent themselves from the ground up. Find the nearest state assembly or senate or congressional race that is competitive. That is where a little volunteer time could make the biggest leverage-effect… and where youll have more personal fun… than just helping the national campaign. If there are no such local races, or you live in California or New York, where it doesnt matter, then look farther afield. If just five Texas Assembly seats change hands, this year, that state will experience an earthquake-level flip, reversing the horrible deLay Gerrymandering. This will not only doubly punish the cheaters, but (I predict) cause the GOP to discover virtue and suddenly become the party that opposes gerrymandering! (If so… 2010, some of us may even start listening to conservatives again! But theyll have a ways to go, to re-earn any trust.)

Rumour: Gears of War: Judgment to Hit in February 2013
Written Thursday, June 28, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Microsoft is planning a February 2013 release for Gears of War: Judgment, according to the latest rumours.
Apparently, although an exact European and North American release date has yet to be set in stone, the target month is Feb.
The news, from CVG "sources," has been sidestepped in a statement from Microsoft. The official response was, "We have not made any announcements updating launch timing for Gears of War: Judgment beyond early 2013.
"Stay tuned for new details about Gears of War: Judgment to be revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, July 12-15."
Gears of War: Judgment is a collaboration between series creators Epic Games and Bulletstorm devs People Can Fly. A prequel to the main series, it follows the adventures of Damon Baird and Augustus 'Cole Train' Cole.
For more on the game read out latest Gear of War: Judgment preview here.

Hello, The search function on the table is really helpful, especially for my table of 1300 rows!
I'm using the javascript options built into the table for such a large list (search, etc.). It seems that the default number of rows shown is 10. But we want to open the page with 25 rows of data. However, any time I change any of the settings, it doesn't take. I try to update changes or save and go back, with no effect. I even tried uploading a new table and it didn't work.
I also can't save any data changes I make in the table.
The table is located here.
We have the memory limit set at maximum in the wp-config file, so don't think it's a size issue.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Since upgrading to Windows 7 (on a 5 year-old laptop), I've had issues with crashes and freezes. I have noticed two things that suggest the problem: First, the computer is much more likely to freeze up when watching high-quality Flash videos online (eg Hulu); Second, the Action Center eventually alerted me to the minimum video requirements and how my video card will never meet one the requirements, which is DirectX 9 or higher.
So I'm thinking that one workaround could be to only run the Flash Player in compatibility mode for XP, since this problem didn't exist prior to the upgrade.
However, it doesn't look like DLL files have compatibility mode. So my questions are:
If I'm running Firefox in XP compatibility mode, are all plugins running in that mode as well?
If not, is there an executable for Flash Player somewhere else that the DLL hooks into that I can modify? If so, where is it?
Is the Flash plugin OS-specific? I know it is platform specific, but is their an actual difference between the DLL for XP and the DLL for 7? Because if so, I'm thinking I should actually reinstall Flash Player and use the XP version.
Would this fix my problem? And by that I mean, would running a video player in XP mode actually bypass whatever Windows 7 does with video, or is that at another layer that would still have the DirectX issue? I know this fix might not avoid the crashes, but I need to know if my idea is based on the right assumptions so I can determine if the problem is somewhere else or if my idea just isn't being properly executed.

Anxiety could have a longevity perk late in life for women, but it could be risky for elderly men, a new study shows.
The study included 1,000 U.S. seniors (average age: 80) living at home. They
completed annual surveys about their anxiety every year for 12 years.
Women with lower anxiety scores at the study's start had a higher death rate. They were 9 percent more likely to die during the study than women who had higher anxiety scores at the study's start.
"Anxiety may have a protective effect on women, possibly causing them to seek medical attention more often than men," Jianping Zhang, MD, PhD, of the Cleveland Clinic's psychiatry and psychology department, says in a news release.
But the study doesn't show whether anxious women went to see their doctors more often than other people. And it also doesn't show whether the anxious women had anxiety disorders.
Men were a different story. Their anxiety scores at the study's start weren't linked to their death rates.
Men who became more anxious were more likely to die than those whose anxiety level stayed steady. "Increasing anxiety over time is more detrimental to men," Zhang says.
Becoming more anxious didn't affect women's death rate. What mattered was how anxious women were when the study began, not whether their anxiety level changed.
The results held when the researchers considered participants' lifestyle and
medical history.
The study was presented yesterday in Baltimore at the American Psychosomatic Society's annual meeting.

I've recently changed my theme options to use the Setting API and don't know how to add wpautop to the code needed to pull in the theme options. According to the tutorial I need to pull in the options like this:
<?php echo $vd_option['vd_home_text_pre_link']; ?>In order to add wpautop to my old theme options I did this:
$vht = get_option('vd_homepage_text');
echo wpautop($vht);
Putting the two together I've come up with the following however it doesn't work. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix it. I'm no PHP expert!
$vht = echo $vd_option['vd_home_text'];

10 More of the Best Cheap Eats of 2008
In this week's column, I laid out ten of the best choices for cheap eats with a high deliciousness quotient. Here are another ten honorable mentions that didn't make the newsprint edition:
The Chicago Dog at Uncle Franky's -- Uncle Franky's may be a "churn 'em out by the thousands" operation, but that hasn't had an impact on their classic Chicago dog (topped by sport peppers, relish, pickle, onion, tomato). A fresh tasting Vienna Beef dog with a perfectly balanced pile of toppings makes this a highbrow take on lowbrow cuisine.
Meatball Pizza at Black Sheep -- Black Sheep starts ahead of the game by using a coal-fired crust that is a delectable balance between chewy and crunchy, inspired directly by old-school East Coast 'za. Toppings vary in terms of their impact; the best is the zesty and tender meatball option.
Apple Chibouste at Patrick's -- If you've ever had real European pastry, you're aware that it's different than its American cousin. It tends to be more refined and more restrained, sweet but not overly sweet, more about texture than huge hits of chocolate and/or refined sugar. The apple chibouste (a kind of flan / apple tart confection) at Patrick's is a great example of how to make a treat sweet but classy in the European tradition.
Tuna Nigiri at Azuki -- Simple sushi doesn't have to be boring. A generous serving size of exceedingly fresh-tasting and tender fish makes the tuna nigiri at Stadium Village's Azuki worth a cross-town trip.
Creme-filled brioche at The Salty Tart -- A popover from heaven. These things are springy and soft, topped with a hint of crunchy sugar and pumped half full with just a tablespoon or so of rich creme filling. Wow.
Breakfast Blucy at The Blue Door -- You wouldn't think that throwing a fried egg on top of a jucy lucy would be a good idea. You'd think it would be too damned much, like putting butter on a steak, or chocolate mousse on top of chocolate cake. Turns out it's a sensuous, heart-attack stimulating delight.
Sandwiches at Surdyk's -- Surdyk's may be best known as the font of all good liquor and wine, but its cheese and sweets shop packs a punch at lunch. The sandwich types vary (even including a sort of high-end curried kebab sandwich at times), but the quality is always top-notch. Great cheese, great meat, great bread -- it's hard to go wrong, and Surdyk's doesn't.
Gyros at Holy Land Grocery & Deli -- A big, meaty, tender gyros bellyflop. While not particularly subtle, Holy Land's gyros are street food elevated to a moment of pure gastronmic passion.
Bratwurst at the Target Bluff German Haus -- Sure, it's a bit of a hike (two or so hours down 90/94 toward Madison), but if you want a classic brat served on a hardroll with local spicy mustard and a draught Spaten Optimator in a chilled glass mug, it's the best way to go. A roadfood delight.
Sake at Moto-i -- Unlike anyone else in the Midwest, the guys at Moto-i serve draft sake that's made in house. And it's damned delicious, too, particularly the melon-inflected junmai nama variety.
