Polish Cabinet Expected to Survive Despite Leadership Change
WARSAW–Poland's five-year-old government is likely to survive an unexpected change of party leadership in its junior coalition partner, although new coalition talks may result in a minor cabinet reshuffle.
Deputy Prime Minister Waldemar Pawlak, who led the agrarian Peasants Party from 2005 and aligned it with the Civic Platform party to win a four-year government term together in 2007, lost a bid Saturday to stay at the helm of his party to Janusz Piechocinski, a rival lawmaker from within the party's ranks.
Mr. Pawlak has held a portfolio in the government described as "the economy," although his ministry is mostly involved with legislation for business, including foreign direct investment. It doesn't supervise most state-owned companies and isn't in charge of the country's finances.
Mr. Piechocinski, the new Peasants Party leader, has sat on parliament's various infrastructure committees but has no cabinet experience. He said Saturday that the developments weren't "a challenge to the government, to the coalition." He encouraged his predecessor to remain in the cabinet, but Mr. Pawlak offered his resignation Monday. In response, Mr. Piechocinski urged Prime Minister Donald Tusk not to accept Mr. Pawlak's resignation.
Unlike previous coalitions in Poland, the current government has seen few public spats and is among just a handful of European governments that have been reelected amid the financial crisis rocking the continent. It holds only three votes above a majority in the Sejm, lower house of parliament, which has been enough to pass legislation comfortably, but the leadership change at the Peasants Party has raised questions about the stability of the ruling camp, which doesn't face a parliamentary election before 2015.
Government spokesman and frontbench lawmaker of the Civic Platform party, Pawel Gras, said he expected the coalition to continue, although he and Prime Minister Donald Tusk were taken aback by the change.
Economists said the coalition, which has so far relied largely on an informal agreement between Mr. Tusk and the deputy prime minister, will now need to be more formalized, which may lead to a cabinet reshuffle.
"One should expect that the new leader will be more assertive when fighting for the interest of his party with the senior coalition partner," Piotr Bujak, Warsaw-based economist at Nordea, wrote in a research note. "Thus, the functioning of the ruling coalition in the future may not be as smooth as in the past, especially if the Peasants Party is able to gain in public opinion polls."
Citi said market reaction is unlikely to be big, although uncertainty will be higher until the negotiations are completed. On Monday morning local time, the zloty was some 0.3% stronger to the euro on the day, trading at 4.14 zlotys to the euro.
According to a November poll by TNS Polska, conducted before the Peasants Party changed its leader, the ruling Civic Platform party would get 42% of the vote, with the agrarian grouping unable to make the 5% cut and win seats in the Sejm. The Civic Platform could then resort to talks with one or both of the left-leaning parties to build a coalition that would face the conservative Law and Justice party, with 30% of support in the opinion poll.

POSITION: Goaltender
CATCHES: Left
BIRTHPLACE: Anchorage, AK, USA
DRAFTED: undrafted
|Ty Conklin was born on March 30, 1976. Following four years with University of New Hampshire Wildcats he signed his first professional contract with the Edmonton Oilers in 2001.
In Edmonton, Conklin was a part of the Oilers surprising run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2006, appearing in only the first game of the champioship series. A blunder between Conklin and teammate Jason Smith caused the game-winning goal and Edmonton head coach subsequently decided to start Jussi Markkanen for the remainder of the series. Conklin would not appear again the Oiler net.
On Juky 6, 2006, Conklin inked a deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets, where he would split time between the NHL and the AHL affiliate in Syracuse.
On February 27, 2007, the goaltender would be packing up his pads again. This time he was traded by the Blue Jackets to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a fifth round draft pick.
The trend continued for Conklin on July 19, 2007. He found himself again a free agent and this time signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins. With the Penguins he would come within a hair of winning the Stanley Cup before eventually losing to the Detroit Red Wings.
The following summer Conklin attempted to reverse his fortunes, He signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings, but sadly, the story would end similarly for Conklin when he found himself on the losing end of the Stanley Cup final for the second year in a row.
On July 1, 2009, Conklin signed on with the St. Louis Blues.
Conklin played in the NHL's outdoor classic on three occaisions, the most of any player. He was the goaltender for the Edmonton Oilers when they lost to the Montreal Canadiens in 2003. He was in the net for the Pittsburgh Penguins for their shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres in 2008 and he was tending goal for the Detroit Red Wings for their victory over the Chicago Blackhawks in 2009.

Rated 5 out of 5�by JoeG Great for the kids I order two of these for my kids. We have been going camping to the lake and they are perfect for when they are in the water or just on top of the boat. Safety counts. September 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sporty mama O' Brien life vest Overall excellent quality life vest I bought for my 3 year old. Kept her head above water very well. Only reason I did not rate quality at 5 stars is that there is no soft material to cover strap that goes between legs and it rubs her leg and causes irritation. August 29, 2013

Rated 3 out of 5�by Sunnyone Design flaw This jacket is perfect with the exception of the thickness around the neck and shoulders. I will keep the jacket because of the half price sale .

Rated 3 out of 5�by Mom of 3 runs very small Nice jacket, but runs small. I ordered it online. It is 30-50 lbs but I cold not zip it up on my 4 year old, who weighs 40 lbs. He is tall & thin, so I was surprised it did not fit. I found another similar style jacket made my a different brand and it fit fine. July 17, 2012

In the IT shops have long proliferated intense religious wars between popular technologies. From the programmer's perspective, debates over Java versus .Net or PHP versus ASP have caused many high profile feuds. Similarly in the system administrator space, Windows versus Linux or UNIX, and even infighting between different flavors of UNIX or Linux has made many tech mag headlines.
While cloud computing comes with the promise of abstracting business users and programmers from underlying technology decisions, these platform wars have still played a significant role in the choice of which cloud computing environment to support.

This episode (download here), the guys start with Jason's DailyMile update. He is up to 9 miles! His weekly update included a successful 5k race and a 9 mile long run. Raymond finally got some good news regarding his injury. Four to Six weeks of physical therapy might get him back in his running shoes.
The topic of discussion was based around the documentary "Spirit of the Marathon" and motivation as race day gets closer. For those runners who have not seen this documentary, it is a wonderful film about new, old, and elite runners. You will be moved by their stories as they prepare for the 2005 Chicago Marathon. Edit: @goofy57runner on Twitter informed me that you can watch this movie on hulu.com
As far as gear, we talk about Jason's new Coleman RTX 200 hydration backpack and energy gels.
What the… we have feedback? We read email from Simon and Steven. Then we mentioned and "harassed" Speedja on twitter. Just like us, he was motivated after watching the Spirit of the Marathon.
Until next time, leave feedback on iTunes, email questions and comments to feedback [at] GeeksInRunningShoes [dot] com. Also, follow us on Twitter, Jason (@guttocutwl) and Ray (@adeyemiking).
As always, thanks for listening!

The Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla is among a dozen campuses added to the growing list of schools being investigated by the federal government for their handling of sex abuse complaints.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights on Wednesday made public the names of an additional 12 schools facing inquiries under Title IX, the federal law that prohibits gender discrimination on campus.
The Education Department had previously released a list of 55 universities under investigation as part of a broader Obama administration effort.
University spokesman Andrew Careaga declined to discuss details about the federal inquiry or any incidents that led to the probe but said the Rolla school has vigorous efforts in place to combat deter and treat sexual assault.
The Department's Office for Civil Rights pledged to update the log on a weekly basis.
Some of the investigations came from complaints made to the Department, while others were launched following compliance reviews.
The Department has said just because a school is listed does not mean it has violated the law, only that it is under investigation. The list does not include any details about what prompted complaints.
The schools on the list range from small colleges to large universities, across 32 states.
Other newly named schools include the University of Alaska System of Higher Education, Colorado State University in Fort Collins; Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas; Berklee College of Music in Boston; The University of Akron in Ohio; Cisco Junior College in Texas; Morgan State University in Baltimore; the University of Delaware; Elmira College in Elmira, New York; University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia; and James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

About the Book
"Audacious and masterful….True to Austen's spirit, Ann Herendeen has given us a compelling, and sexual, novel of manners."
—Pamela Regis, author of A Natural History of the Romance Novel<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Ann Herendeen's Pride/Prejudice—a novel of Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennett, and their other loves—revisits the classic Jane Austen work to "fill in the gaps" that the original left unexplained and unexplored. Ingenious, brazen, and unrelentingly entertaining—yet always appreciative and respectful of one of the world's most beloved literary works—this masterful reinvention by the acclaimed author of Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander is truly a Pride and Prejudice for the 21st Century.
For readers who've loved Jane Austen's most popular novel—the inestimable Pride and Prejudice—questions have always remained. What is the real nature of Darcy's intense friendship with Charles Bingley, to explain why he would prevent Bingley's marriage to Elizabeth's beautiful and virtuous sister Jane? How can Darcy reconcile his own desire for Elizabeth with his determination to save his friend from a similar entanglement? What is the disturbing history behind Darcy's tortured relationship with his foster brother, George Wickham? And what other intimacies, besides their cherished friendship, are exchanged between Elizabeth and Charlotte Lucas?
Ann Herendeen, acclaimed author of Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander, reimagines this classic love story, focusing on the untold aspects of Jane Austen's timeless novel. Pride/Prejudice brings to light all the buried secrets, potential scandals, and unspoken, forbidden loves of Austen's story, weaving a tale of intertwined passions, pride humbled, and ultimately, freedom from prejudice.

Critical Praise
"Audacious and masterful. . . . True to Austen's spirit, Ann Herendeen has given us a compelling, and sexual, novel of manners. In scenes that illuminate the motives and intellects of our favorite characters, we witness their most private moments. Delectable." — Pamela Regis, author of A Natural History of the Romance Novel
"Ann Herendeen has turned Jane Austen's beloved classic novel on its head with this beautifully written 'what if' story. It is the erotic retelling of Jane's very eighteenth century characters. The book is surprisingly creative and makes this version timely, realistic and clever fun. An entertaining read!" — Sandra Kitt, national bestselling author of Close Encounters and For All We Know
"I gobbled up this delicious book in one sexy/cerebral reading orgy. Now I need to go back and marvel at my leisure, at its author's wealth of insight and imagination." — Pam Rosenthal, RITA Award-winning author of The Edge of Impropriety

Morgan McLeod is proving that it pays to be beautiful.
The San Jose resident and former San Francisco 49ers cheerleader is one of 18 new cast members of "Survivor," as announced on Wednesday by CBS. And she will be competing on the "Beauty" tribe in the reality show's latest twist which has the contestants divided into teams of "Brawn," "Brains" and "Beauty."
According to a CBS media release, the groupings of these tribes, each comprised of six castaways, reflect "the distinguishing qualities that people bring to the game and test whether there is any truth to the pre-conceived notion that certain characteristics will help you win the game."
The cast also includes a high-stakes poker player, an attorney, a nuclear engineer, the president of the Miami Marlins and a former Golden State Warriors player.
In her cast bio, McLeod, 21, says that her claim to fame was being selected to the 49ers cheerleading squad while still in high school. Her hobbies are "interior design, working out and dancing," and she says the three words that best describe her are "mature, determined and attractive."
The bio goes on to say that the former "Survivor" contestant she relates to most is Parvati Shallow because "she is beautiful and manipulative just like me. She has the ability to make everyone love her but also fear her."
The reason she signed up to be on "Survivor"?
"(For) the chance to experience a once in a lifetime journey and to show everyone that just because I have huge boobs and a pretty face does not mean I am dumb. It just means I look better when I am winning."
So she's beautiful AND cocky.
Asked if she considers herself a Brain, a Beauty or a Brawn, McLeod replied, "I consider myself all three but if I have to pick, I would pick Beauty. Who wouldn't want to be beautiful? When you are beautiful you get what you want and I like getting what I want."
McLeod is the latest in a long line of Bay Area "Survivor" contestants, two of whom became champions: Vecepia Towery (2002) and Yul Kwon (2006).
"Survivor" returns for its 28th season with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 on CBS. This edition was filmed in Cagayan, a province in the Philippines.
The rest of the cast is as follows:
Brawn Tribe
Brains Tribe
Beauty Tribe

I recently purchased a nexus 7 and after looking into things, discovered that PMS could be used to stream to it. I am attempting to do so from a local network. The problem I'm running into is that the nexus 7 can play MKV with the right apps, but if I attempt to load subs then the video quality suffers greatly, this is why I figured using PMS to transcode and then stream to my nexus would be a good idea.
I forced the transcode of MKV under common transcode settings, but unfortunately the transcode buffer status crashes. Specifically, it starts to buffer, and then quickly goes into the negative range and video playback does not occur on the tablet. If I remove the forced transcode setting, then the tablet will play the media, but it does transcode resulting in the loss of video quality.
How can I correct this, and what information do I need to provide in order to expedite assistance, assuming this is possible?

While the open space on the Colorado River at State Bridge is closed for construction of a new boat launch, Duck Pond Open Space between Gypsum and Dotsero remains open as it undergoes site development plans.
Eagle County and Colorado Parks and Wildlife are looking to enhance public access by improving the parking areas on the east and west ends of the property. Eagle County and CPW will also be working with the Bureau of Land Management to consider boat launch options, most likely in 2013.
In 2010, the county used open space funds to purchase a 40-acre property between Gypsum and Dotsero to provide recreational access to the Eagle River. In 2011, open space funds were used to purchase the adjacent 10-acre property to the west. The combined 50 acre property, now known as Duck Pond Open Space includes .8 miles of Eagle River frontage, which is open to fishing.
Duck hunting (including installation of blinds) will be considered during the management planning process. A parking and picnic area will also be considered.
Though site development plans are in the works, the property is currently accessible to the public with a few basic rules: no camping, no fires, no littering/dumping. Colorado Parks and Wildlife regularly patrols the property to check licenses and protect the natural resources.
A section of the Eagle Valley Trail will cross the property's north edge.
In 2012, an additional two miles of trail will be built to connect Gypsum to Dotsero, including the section through the Duck Pond property.
The trail will be 10 feet wide and available to bikes, walkers and runners. It will be constructed first as a dirt trail, and asphalt paved this fall or spring 2013.
The trail will provide viewing of the pond area as well as access to the picnic area that is tentatively planned at the cottonwood grove on the west side of the property
The project is being built by Eagle County Road and Bridge department with cost reimbursement to Road and Bridge from the ECO Trails fund.-
