Tesla Motors (TSLA), the Palo Alto maker of electric cars run by Elon Musk, plans to sell as much as $830 million in shares and debt to repay its federal loan faster than planned as its stock trades near record highs.
The company said Wednesday in a U.S. regulatory filing and a statement that proceeds from sale the 2.7 million shares, worth $229 million at Wednesday's $84.84 closing price, and $450 million in convertible senior notes due in 2018 will go to pay back a $465 million federal loan with interest and to fund other operations. The Energy Department agreed to the modified terms yesterday, according to the filing.
"They are obviously striking when the iron is hot, and are probably going to find willing buyers," said Alan Baum, analyst at Baum & Associates in West Bloomfield, Mich. Paying off the U.S. loan early "is going to give Tesla more flexibility with the use of their funds going forward," he said.
With an early repayment, Tesla would be the first recipient of an Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan to make the government whole. The standard repayment schedule for Ford Motor's $5.9 billion loan and Nissan Motor's $1.4 billion loan is 10 years. Fisker Automotive, which missed a payment last month, is at risk of bankruptcy after halting vehicle output last year and firing most staff last month.
Tesla rose 6.8 percent to $90.60 in Wednesday's after-hours trading. The shares have surged 188 percent this year, compared with a 17 percent increase for the Russell 1000 Index.
Tesla's market capitalization totaled $9.8 billion as of Wednesday's close, higher than the $8.6 billion for Turin, Italy- based Fiat, majority owner of Chrysler Group.
The federal loan program has been criticized by Republicans in Congress, and Tesla and Fisker were lumped together as "losers" by Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, as he campaigned for president last year. Sarah Palin, the Republican 2008 vice presidential candidate, in a Facebook comment last month attacked Tesla as "Obama-subsidized" and the loan program as an "atrocious waste of taxpayer money."
Tesla's move comes after the company last week reported its first quarterly profit, leading its shares to surge to record highs. The company in March announced an arrangement to repay its U.S. loan in five years, rather than the original 10-year period.
Tesla didn't clarify how much faster it would pay back the funds. The company said last week it made a payment of about $13 million in the first quarter.
Musk, 41, already Tesla's biggest shareholder, intends to buy $100 million of shares of common stock at the same public offering price, the company said. He will invest about $45 million in the public sale and about $55 million in a private placement.
"He is making a statement that, with the stock doing well, he's personally willing to buy at what would have been considered an inflated price, shares which he expects can go higher still," Baum said.
Recent gains for Tesla shares, along with SolarCity, a solar power company also led by Musk, have raised his fortune to $5.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

NH joins suit vs. NOAA to protect small-boat fisheries industry
New Hampshire last week filed a motion seeking 'permissive intervention' in U.S. District Court in Boston primarily to protect the interests of the state's 'unique small-boat fisheries industry that is not adequately represented by any other party or intervener.'

Not its best feature, it does have textured green leaves that fade to pale yellow in fall. Hardy in zones 4B-8, it has a slow growth rate and can reach 10�. It has a high tolerance for drought, likes sun or part shade and does well in most soils.<>>
A member of the hazel family, it produces flowers called catkins which may hold on into winter, though it does not produce nuts. Usually grafted onto Corylus colurna rootstock, gardeners need to prune off any suckers to prevent the plant reverting to the rootstock characteristics.<>>
Sometimes an icy coating gives this shrub as spectacular winter display.<>>
You want to know why the name, don�t you? Presumably it was named after Harry Lauder, an early 20th C. English vaudevillian who carried a crooked walking stick with him on stage.In real life, he also collected crooked walking sticks which were sold at auction for very high prices.<>>
When planning your landscape changes, consider this plant for sites that will show off its winter interest.

NEW: For a prettier blog interface, see the Wordpress version!
|Meet everyone @1300 at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (2005.07.02 social)
|Check out http://dmvproduction.com and see if they lifted material from us (2005.07.02 Adphoto)
|Help Kathy with her market study (2005.07.02 Adphoto)
1. Cleverer and cleverer
My mom called me in a panic. "I just got this message from info AT adphoto.com.ph saying that my e-mail account has been suspended."
I grumbled. Yet another notice. Our e-mail had recently been suspended because people weren't deleting their old mail. I had just spent a few days with ipowerweb tech support and Adphoto employees working out the issues. Another notice? I was going to track down and scold the errant employee.
_After_ helping my sister, who paged me to come down so that I could help her with the market study along the highway. And meeting my friends. And tracking down that planner bug. ARGH!
My mom poked her head into the Internet room. "SACHA, fix my e-mail now."
Informal tech support people the world over know that when moms use that tone of voice, everything else gets bumped down the priority list.
I trudged over to her Mac and brought up the Ipowerweb help support.
Kathy called to follow up. My mom picked up the phone and said, "Sacha's here fixing my e-mail."
"No no no, I'm just going to show you how to ask for help. Where's the message?"
"Why don't you fix it first and then you can teach me how to ask for help next time?"
"I _can't_ fix it. It's up to the Ipowerweb people. Where's the message? Okay. Hmm. Temporarily suspended... check account details..." I didn't catch any typos during my cursory glance, but it didn't feel like the other notices we'd gotten from Ipowerweb. The message felt wrong. I read further. "Adphoto Support Team... Wait a minute, we don't _have_ an Adphoto Support Team." I looked up. Sure enough, there was an attachment named "account-details.zip" just begging to be opened.
"So what's wrong with my e-mail?"
"Nothing," I replied, disgusted. I reread the message. Clever of them to work the first part of the domain into the message. "It's one of those fake messages with attachments."
"Wait! How do I tell which ones are real and which aren't?"
How do I explain that feeling of something being wrong? It's a blink moment.
- Messages that ask you to look at attachments are immediately suspicious, even if they come from someone you know. Most worms fake the From: address to be someone you might now. Write the person who supposedly sent you the message and ask if that's really the intended attachment.
- Don't click on random links, too. This could open you up to more spam or attacks that exploit browser vulnerabilities.
- If the message says it comes from an automated system and you shouldn't bother replying, see if there's a human somewhere you can get in touch with.
- Tech announcements shouldn't be coming from info AT adphoto.com.ph, but rather an ipowerweb account. This is particularly true when they're announcements I don't remember making.
- Make life easier for other people. If you send an attachment or link to someone else, include enough outside-the-computer information to let the other person know you're human. For example, you could give some details about the job just finished.
I've had to enable e-mail access from the PCs. I've made the employees promise not to click on strange links or attachments, and Internet access is restricted to a set of government websites and the Adphoto website itself. That should provide us with some modicum of protection because there's no way for them to establish a direct connection to the outside.
With social engineers getting cleverer and cleverer, though, will that be enough?

2. The changing face of Katipunan
My sister had an appointment in the Katipunan area today. She dragged me along because she wanted to do a market study of the billboard ads along the route, so I took pictures and videos while she drove. She warned me in advance that I'd have to wait for about an hour. I agreed anyway, knowing that it would give me time to reacquaint myself with the area around my university.
The ill-considered and inconvenient Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) anti-pedestrian fences were still there, cutting off access to Ateneo de Manila University. Not relishing the idea of a long walk to the pedestrian overpass in the noon sun, I decided to wander around the area near KFC.
A striking addition to the landscape is My Place, an upscale high-rise dormitory with full amenities, which I plan to write about later. Parts of it are still being finished, but I heard that there are already over a dozen tenants.
Eyrie is no more. I had planned to eat lunch there, remembering the kind, pudgy proprietor who was familiar enough with us to mock-scold me one time for being late for a dinner appointment. I loved meeting people there for good food at reasonable prices, chatting over baked macaroni or that wonderful vegetarian pasta with portabello mushrooms. Alas, it joined Martha's Kitchen as yet another victim of progress--or regress, considering the MMDA obstruction is probably to blame for all of this.
The building that used to house Eyrie, The Filipino Bookstore, and the Ti Breizh cafe has fallen into the shadow of Blueskies, an Internet cafe and gaming arena formerly limited to the second and third floor above the corner flower shop. Internet cafes stretch from edge of Katipunan to the empty lot before Eagle Star Condominum.
Even the tutorial center at the corner near Tapa King has repurposed most of its space into an Internet cafe and video editing workspace. The only remnants of its past: a few stools, a narrow study area and some posters advertising a 50-hour tutoring package for math, English and abstract reasoning. Such a stark contrast from the quiet, spacious place I remember peeking into before. How you can create a conducive study environment crammed in between computer tables is beyond my imagination.
Well, that's the changing face of Katipunan for you. The MMDA pedestrian barrier, much cursed by people on both sides of the divide, choked the casual lunch and dinner-with-school-friends crowd. Good food isn't enough to make people walk, but gaming works. Go figure.
I have no idea how KFC survives, but then again, it's KFC.
Update: Allan adds:
The ones who owned the tutorial center beside tapaking also own the computer shop. Their tutorial center (i forgot the name) has moved above rustans beside pc express

For the venture capital industry, 2011 was a year of superlatives -- the highest level of investment in Internet companies since the dot-com bust and the highest level in cleantech ever. But it also was a year that ended on a worrisome downward swing.
Venture capitalists pumped $28.4 billion into nearly 3,700 deals, according to new numbers from the National Venture Capital Association and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Both numbers were an uptick over 2010, which itself had marked something of a turnaround for the industry after two years of declines.
But the fourth-quarter numbers limped across the finish line, showing a drop both in dollars and deals compared to the third quarter. And that third quarter represented a decline in activity compared to the second quarter, when investor enthusiasm soared after LinkedIn's initial public offering of stock. During the second quarter of 2011, venture firms poured $7.5 billion into 966 deals. In the most recent quarter, those figures were $6.6 billion and 844.
Experts disagree on whether the declining numbers mean trouble for Silicon Valley's startup economy.
Mark Cannice, a professor at the University of San Francisco who conducts a quarterly poll of venture capitalist confidence, reports that venture capitalists grew increasingly pessimistic as 2011 wore on. If venture firms continue to back fewer startups, he asked, "What great firms aren't going to launch that we don't even know about?"
But Tracy Lefteroff, who heads PricewaterhouseCoopers' venture capital practice, isn't overly worried about the successive declines in quarters three and four.
"It's not long enough to say that we have a permanent change in direction," he said.
Lefteroff and the National Venture Capital Association put together the annual "MoneyTree" report using data from Thomson Reuters.
Others note that even if the venture industry is developing cold feet, there's an increasing number of funding alternatives for startups.
Plenty of wealthy "angel" investors are willing to pony up those dollars and assume the heightened risk.
"We won't have fewer startups just because VCs are not investing," said Vivek Wadhwa, a veteran entrepreneur and tech commentator at Stanford Law School who has argued that venture capitalists are becoming less relevant. Partly that's because the cost of starting Internet companies has plunged.
"The Facebook IPO will be great for Silicon Valley because it will create hundreds of millionaires who can fund thousands of startups," he added.
Lefteroff and others say venture capitalists grew increasingly skittish about making deals after the global markets went soft amid Europe's debt woes. The less-than-stellar stock debuts of Groupon and Zynga, two high-profile companies on which the tech industry had pinned hopes for an IPO rally, further tamped down enthusiasm among startup investors.
When venture capitalists did make bets, they tended to make bigger ones instead of spreading the wealth evenly.
Mark Heesen, president of the venture capital association, noted that while the total dollars venture capitalists invested last year rose 22 percent compared to 2010, the number of deals rose only 4 percent. "Round sizes increased significantly," he said.
He and Lefteroff seem slightly at odds over whether the trend indicates the lingering threat of an investment bubble.
Heesen said there's no single reason average investment sizes spiked last year. In some tech industry sectors -- particularly life sciences and cleantech -- the high bar for going public has required venture backers to keep putting more money into their portfolio companies to keep them afloat.
Also, competition among venture firms hoping to get a piece of the next Facebook or Twitter led to eye-popping deals like the $112 million couch-surfing startup Airbnb landed in July or the $150 million Groupon knockoff WhaleShark Media snared in November.
Lefteroff, on the other hand, said venture capitalists "are acting prudently and not chasing excessive valuations." For that reason, he predicts, "we're unlikely to see these sectors overheat like we saw in the 1999 to 2000 era."
While Heesen said he expects different sectors of the tech industry will continue to diverge in their ability to raise money and go public, one veteran venture capitalist expects 2012 to see a healthy uptick in IPOs, which offer one of the primary avenues for venture firms to recoup their investments. Paul Madera of Palo Alto's Meritech Capital Partners said opportunity abounds for companies in the enterprise software, networking and "cloud" computing sectors.
"There are a lot of good, healthy companies that are ready to go," he said, predicting that will continue to fuel Silicon Valley in 2012. "We're a long way from the dregs of an IPO market."

MARIETTA - Marietta College, Washington State Community College and Marietta Memorial Hospital will add to its human patient simulator family after receiving a $110,000 grant from the Ohio Governor's Office of Appalachia.
Jason Wilson from the Governor's Office delivered the check to Marietta College during a joint announcement with Gloria Stewart, director of Marietta College's Physician Assistant Program Wednesday at the PA Building.
"We've made real progress in health care in Appalachia, thanks to programs like this one and the collaboration that we see with these programs," Wilson says. "But we are not as far as we need to be, so that's why this is so important."
Wilson was joined by a number of interested parties, including Wendy Brewer of the Memorial Health Foundation, Sister Molly Bauer of the Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund, Misty Casto of Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley Regional Development District, Dixie Stone from Washington State Community College, and Marietta College President Joe Bruno.
Stewart said the simulators, which will include a man, pregnant woman with birthing baby, infant and young child, will be utilized by a large number of health care providers annually - 72 physician assistant students, 500 nurses and physicians and 80 students in nursing and physical therapy programs.
"As the program director of the Marietta College Physician Assistant Program it is my responsibility to provide the best medical education for our students. The PA Program has been able to increase our student's opportunities for a quality medical education by working with our community partners since the start of the program in 2002," she says. "Previous funding has provided the community with our first human simulator in 2006; the development of the Washington County Free Clinic; and renovation of the PA program facility."
Stewart notes the use of human simulators increases the opportunity of students and other providers to learn the best practices of health care so they can provide the quality of care to their patients.
The remainder of the money needed to purchase the simulators, which are expected to be delivered this spring, came from the Memorial Health Foundation ($30,000), Marietta College ($30,000), Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund ($25,000) and Washington State Community College ($5,000). There is also $20,000 of in-kind donations from Marietta Memorial Hospital ($15,000) and the college ($5,000).

Between finding the right contractor, making time to plan the project, and laying out the cash, building a deck can be discouraging. See full article.

GEORGETOWN - Denver-area resident Shawn Sheeley, who pleaded guilty to the 2010 shooting of a man off Interstate 70 near Georgetown, was sentenced to 30 years in prison Monday.
Sheeley was charged in the killing of Conrad Keith Crall of Kiowa, whose body was found by hikers close to the highway in October 2010.
Sheeley, 37, cried openly in court Monday, telling the judge he regretted Crall's death.
"I made a serious mistake," he said through tears. "I never wanted this to happen. It happened and I can't take it back, but if I could, I would. I would definitely take everything I did back. I just hope the family can forgive me."
Sheeley's sentence was stipulated as part of his plea agreement, with the approval of the victim's family.
He dodged a first-degree murder charge by pleading guilty after a second suspect, Jesus Reyna, allegedly told police the two lured Crall into a car and drove him to the mountains where they shot him to death.
Prosecutors and the victim's family dedicated their comments during Monday's hearing to Crall, remembering his life and questioning his death.
"It's still hard to actually grasp that he's not here," Crall's brother Austin Soucy told the court.
Family members said Crall was an intelligent, compassionate person who always went out of his way to help others. Prosecutors noted that he'd overcome multiple challenges in his life, becoming a skilled auto mechanic even after dropping out of school and learning to walk again after a battle with brain cancer.
"Despite all his problems, he really tried to help people," deputy district attorney Christine Word said. "He tried to lead a good life."
Sheeley's personal history also came up in court. Prosecutors, the defense attorney and Sheeley himself referenced his traumatic childhood - although they were vague on details - and his use of methamphetamines.
"Many people who are addicted to that substance don't go on to kill people, but it's how Mr. Sheeley became the man he is today and likewise what led to his being with Conrad that day," defense attorney Trevor McFee told the judge, adding that the events, "show the extent to which methamphetamines and that type of lifestyle leads to horrific consequences."
Reyna, also of the Denver area, pleaded guilty to avoid a first-degree murder charge, and was set to be sentenced Monday afternoon, but fired his attorney at the hearing and instead asked to withdraw his plea and take his chances with a jury.
Residents discovered the body of 31-year-old Crall, an occasional mechanic and resident of Kiowa, on Oct. 9, 2010, as they were hiking around their property, according to press reports at the time.
He was lying face down just yards from I-70, shot three times by two different firearms. The fatal shot hit him in the head and the death was ruled a homicide, an arrest affidavit for Reyna states.
Investigators soon discovered the last time Crall had been seen alive was in late September, nearly three weeks prior. He'd been working on the car of an acquaintance and had left to meet someone with whom he seemed to be angry, saying the person was going to return some of his belongings.
Detectives pulled Crall's cellphone records and found he'd been in touch with a number belonging to Sheeley the day he was last seen. That was also the day all outgoing activity on his phone stopped.
But it was unclear whether Sheeley had actually been in possession of his phone the day investigators were beginning to suspect Crall had been murdered, and the case eventually ran cold.
Two years later, in March 2012, investigators got back in touch with the phone company and discovered something more interesting than phone records. Using cellphone towers to track the locations of the two devices, authorities realized Crall and Sheeley's phones had apparently come closer and closer together the day he was apparently killed and then moved together up the Interstate 70 corridor toward Georgetown and then back down again, according to the affidavit.
Investigators met with Sheeley, who was in jail on an unrelated charge, and he spun a story that starred Thomas Claeys - a man who had dated Crall's mother and was, according to several accounts, a methamphetamine user and gun owner who openly hated Crall - as the killer, the affidavit states.
Sheeley said Claeys had threatened him into accompanying him up to the mountains, where he shot and killed Crall himself with two different weapons.
But another witness told a different story, saying Sheeley had bragged about killing Crall himself with the help of another man nicknamed "Sleepy."
Sleepy turned out to be Reyna, who later admitted to driving Sheeley to meet Crall at a Denver gas station and then transporting the three of them up I-70 to the Clear Creek location where Crall was shot, according to the affidavit.
Neither man's motive for the murder is clear in the affidavit. Reyna reportedly told authorities Sheeley wanted to kill Crall because he'd stolen a woman's purse, which contained valuable items. Reyna said he'd agreed to drive him to the mountains for gas money.

Northeastern Oklahoma A&M freshman, and Neosho native, Alex Wise has signed to continue his baseball career with Division-I Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla. for the 2014 season.
Wise, a 2011 NHS graduate, will begin his freshman season with the Golden Norse this season after leaving Missouri State last season to join Roger Ward's program in Miami.
A 6-foot-1, 190-pound pitcher and infielder, Wise should play a key role at both positions for the Golden Norse this season before joining Ryan Folmar's team in 2014.
A standout in basketball, baseball and football at Neosho, Wise, the son of Phil and Tana Wise, initially attended Missouri State to play basketball and baseball as a walk-on before electing to instead attend NEO.
At Neosho Wise earned second-team all-conference honors as a sophomore before picking up first-team all-conference and all-district honors as a junior.
As a senior he was a unanimous first-team all-conference pick after going 3-3 with a 3.00 ERA on the mound with 43 strikeouts, and while also compiling a .444 batting average with 14 doubles, four triples, 20 RBI and 16 steals at the plate.
Wise also spent time playing for the Midwest Nationals in the summer where he went 5-1 with a 2.30 ERA and 39 strikeouts while hitting .358 with 28 runs scored.

Just to let y'all know, I like PS3MS so much I not only made a small (hopefully another larger one when I get my next contract) donation to the project, but I also just bought a PS3 to replace my XBox 360. Someone should tell Sony they're selling more PS3s due to this program!
OK, that's the good news. The not so good news, is that I thought changing to a PS3 would help with a problem I'm having, and it doesn't seem to. I have a large collection of MKV files that are subtitled, and on some of them PS3MS works like a charm, and on others it gives me an invalid format error. I can't seem to figure out a rhyme or reason for which ones it likes or why. What should I be looking at?
Oh, and just in case any of this matters:
1- your computer specs (cpu, memory) and the precise server version you're using
i7 Core 3.2 GhZ, Vista 64 Ultimate SP2, 12 Gigs Ram for the PC - Server version is 1.10.51
2- the network connection you are using for streaming your files (wifi, homeplugs, ethernet 100Mbits, or gigabit)
Host PC is on Ethernet 100 mbps streaming over Wireless G to a PS3
3- detailed infos on what's not working
Some MKV files transfer just fine, and others give me an invalid format error on the PS3. I can't figure out why it likes some and not others.
4- if you're transcoding some videos, which engine are you using ? (mencoder, avisynth/mencoder, tsmuxer)
Mencoder since Avisynth did not get installed. Would I have better luck with avisynth? If so, is there a good tutorial on how to set that up under Vista?
My PS3 has been updated to the 2.80 firmware FYI.
Thanks in advance!

Man Opens Fire on Water Tower, Authorities Say
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 2:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 2:23 p.m.
DUNEDIN | Authorities have arrested a Florida man they say opened fire on a golf course and hit a city water tower.
Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies say 49-year-old Mark Fitzgerald told them he was searching for his lost dog Tuesday morning and had a high-powered rifle and handgun with him in case he encountered coyotes. Deputies said Fitzgerald fired several rounds from his golf cart. Deputies say Fitzgerald also appeared intoxicated.
Authorities say he hit a water tower that holds about a million gallons of water. Water has apparently been draining from the bullet hole.
The city is working to repair the damages.
Fitzgerald was charged with felony criminal mischief, discharging a firearm, and use of firearm while under the influence.

Today: Twitter may be considering phasing out its ubiquitous @ and # symbols in an effort to lure more new users. Also, markets rebound but HP sputters after announcing 3D printing plan.
The lead: Wary of scaring off new users, Twitter may simplify its interface
In a move that's sure to rile up its hard-core tweeters, Twitter is reportedly considering phasing out the use of its ubiquitous @ and # symbols.
Speaking at the Newspaper Association of America's mediaXchange conference in Denver this week, Vivian Schiller, Twitter's head of news, said the at-replies and hastags were "arcane," according to a Buzzfeed report, and implied that future versions of the service would move such coding "scaffolding" into the background to make ithe interface simpler for new users to understand.
While Schiller later tweeted that the symbols would not be going away entirely, Buzzfeed received a screenshot from an Android alpha test group, which shows a Twitter conversation without at-replies, suggesting Twitter is at least experimenting with what a world without the @ and # would look like. The most likely change would be for Twitter's "@" names to be auto-replaced by proper names, the way Facebook friend-mentions function now.
While some users are sure to protest any such change, San Francisco-based Twitter may be more concerned about winning over those not using its service. Twitter's growth has stagnated, and its shares have come back to Earth after its stunning skyrocket ride in December. Twitter has about 54 million active users in the U.S. and 241 million worldside, but its user base grew just 4 percent last quarter. Those numbers become even more worrisome when it's estimated that there are 651 million inactive Twitter accounts, meaning just one in six accounts is actually active. It's suspected that many people try out Twitter, can't figure out the shorthand, give up and don't come back.
In February, CEO Dick Costolo acknowledged that hashtags and other symbols can discourage new users: "We will continue to make the product easier for new users to use," the Merc's Brandon Bailey reported at the time. "It's not just 'get it' in the first weeks or months on Twitter," Costolo added, according to Business Insider. "It's 'get it' on the first day on Twitter ... so that's a focus."
Costolo, meanwhile, will be honored May 5 with PEN literary award, along with author Salman Rushdie. Costolo will receive the inaugural Digital Freedom Award in recognition for Twitter being "a powerful tool" for free expression.
Twitter shares sank 2.19 percent, or $1.12, to $50.12, on Thursday, which also marked the micro-blogging service's eighth birthday. To celebrate, Twitter launched a new feature to show your -- or anyone's -- very first tweet. Don't expect Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to be invited to Twitter's birthday party -- on Thursday he threatened to shut down Turkey's access to Twitter and other social networks in response to a wave of leaks and criticism. "Twitter, schmitter!" he told a crowd of supporters, according to Reuters. "We will wipe out all of these."
SV150 market report: HP sputters as tech stocks lag
Stocks bounced back Thuursday, mostly erasing Wednesday's losses as rising economic indicators outweighed concern over a possible hike in interest rates next year. But while the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all closed with modest gains, the SV150 index lagged, declining 0.98, or 0.06 percent.
Hewlett-Packard surged by nearly $1 a share early in the day but tumbled late, closing the day down 14 cents, or 0.44 percent. While the Palo Alto computer giant cut its debts by 40 percent last year, a Bloomberg News report says CEO Meg Whitman is being pressured to reward shareholders this year. HP shares rose 96 percent in 2013, but sales have been declining for years and the company has been slow to adapt to booming mobile and cloud markets. That could signal more acquisitions this year. "They have a real problem with legacy businesses winding down over the next several years," Edward Jones analyst Bill Kreher told Bloomberg. "If you're talking about transitioning to software and the cloud, that gets back to the need for acquisitions."
HP is expanding in one direction: 3D printing. At a shareholder meeting Wednesday, Whitman said the company would start selling 3D printing products in June. As the Merc's Steve Johnson reported, Whitman said HP has improved both the function and quality of 3D printing, and it will first target enterprise customers.
HP's shareholders' meeting was also the site of a demonstration led by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who called attention to Silicon Valley's lack of diversity in hiring. Jackson raised similar issues in an open letter to tech companies, including Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter, on Monday.
Elsewhere in the valley, Apple shares slipped $2.56, or 0.48 percent, after China Mobile declined to provide exact sales figures for iPhones in China. The world's largest telecom said only that "most" of its 1.34 million 4G subscribers use the iPhone.
It was a good day for hardware companies, as Intel (up 1.62 percent), Cisco (up 0.92 percent), VMware (up 1.21 percent) and Juniper (up 0.08 percent) all posted gains. Yahoo shares fell 2.18 percent as it launched a new game network. Facebook, which gave a sneak peek at what its upcoming Frank Gehry-designed "west campus" will look like, fell 1.86 percent, and Zynga dropped 1.17 percent despite CEO Don Mattrick's declaration Thursday that the company's turnaround from a brutal 16-month period is halfway there.
Up: Intel, Cisco, VMware, Juniper, Netflix, LinkedIn
Down: Apple, Google, Oracle, HP, eBay, Gilead, Yahoo, Facebook, Zynga, Tesla, Twitter
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's biggest companies: Down 0.98, or 0.06 percent, to 1,556.70.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Up 11.68, or 0.27 percent, to 4,319.29.
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 108.88, or 0.67 percent, to 16,331.05.
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Up 11.24, or 0.60 percent, to 1,872.01.

DSEE 6.3 Windows Native Package Patch Released
By klemay on Jun 23, 2008
We have just released the windows native (MSI) patch for Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) 6.3. This patch was originally delayed due to some issues concerning the patching process on Windows. These have now been resolved and you can download the patch from here: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-125311-07-1
This patch is only for installations of DSEE that were installed on Windows 2000 or 2003 using the Jave Enterprise System installer. If you do not have DSEE 6.3 already installed on this system you will need to download the DSEE 6.0 full release for Windows and then apply this patch after you have installed it. You can download the full DSEEE 6.0 Windows Native MSI installation bundle from the following location: Directory Server EE 6.0 - java_es-5-identsuite-ga-windows-x86.zip - Part of Identity Management Suite, Multi-language (DS/DPS/Console)
NOTE: This download is actually part of the Sun Identity Suite. When you download this you can then run the installer and select to install only the Directory Server Enterprise Edition components.
option if you do not have DSEE already installed is to download the
'Compressed Archive" version of the software for Windows which does not

About the Book
"A gut-kick of a read, with non-stop action and as inventive a world as I've ever seen."
—Vicki Pettersson, New York Times bestselling author of the Signs of the Zodiac series
"Great characters who jump from the page; a smart, layered plot, and pacing that screams. This is the kind of book that makes you look forward to a rainy day."
—John Gilstrap, author of Nathan's Run
"Readers…will devour Banks's clever and compelling Mortal Path series. Assassins, demons, and danger, oh my!"
—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love You More
Dakota Banks has taken the supernatural thriller and given it a breathtaking new twist! Deliverance is the third book in Banks's relentlessly exciting urban fantasy series, Mortal Path, featuring heroine Maliha Crayne, once a demon's henchwoman and paranormal assassin now determined to atone for her centuries of murderous acts. A cross between Tomb Raider's Lara Croft and Marvel Comics's Elektra, Maliha finds her powers are rapidly fading in Deliverance, and discovers that her quest to avoid eternal damnation has put those she loves most in gravest peril. Banks's Deliverance delivers suspense and edge-of-your-seat adventure—a non-stop paranormal roller coaster ride that fans of Jeaniene Frost, James Rollins, Vicki Pettersson, and Indiana Jones, won't want to miss.
Kill . . . or be damned.
A demon's assassin for centuries, Maliha Crayne has gone rogue, determined to save a life for every one she's destroyed in order to free herself from an eternity of enslavement, damnation, and excruciating torment. But as the powers that sustained her in the past fade, she is wary of trusting those closest to her—especially her lover, Jake. And her closest friends are beginning to disappear, one by one. Amid her anger, suspicion, and sorrow, her life is spiraling out of control.
Worse still, a beautiful Renaissance murderess is recruiting Maliha as her new assassin. Maliha is turning into a lethal puppet with an evil Immortal pulling the strings, forced to kill innocents or see her missing friends die horribly. Suddenly trapped in a moral no-man's-land, Maliha is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't . . . and time is rapidly running out.

Panic at Macedonian circus after lion escapes
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 8:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 8:28 a.m.
SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — Several hundred spectators got an unexpected shock at a circus in Macedonia after a lion broke through a safety enclosure during a performance.
The incident occurred late Sunday in Kavadarci, a central town about 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of the capital Skopje.
The spectators fled in panic when the lion charged through metal fencing at the Hungarian circus Safari, according to circus officials and witnesses. Children were crying and some women even fainted, they said.
The lion was stopped using a tranquilizer gun, while two other lions used in the performance were caged by handlers.

15 July, 2005: The United Kingdom's Department of Health announced details of the long-term arrangements for reimbursement of NHS generic medicines. The scheme, unveiled at the end of June 2005 will replace the Maximum Price Scheme introduced in August 2000, and will generate annual savings of £300 million (US$520.1million).
There will be two voluntary schemes, Schemes M for manufacturers and Scheme W will apply to wholesalers. Under the schemes, manufacturers will supply information to allow quarterly revisions to the new Category M in part VIII of the Drug Tariff. In cases were such information is not received, prices can be determined from information provided by wholesalers through Scheme W, according to the Health Department sources.
The arrangement is expected to promote a transparent and competitive market for the NHS, whilst generating savings of £300 million. The savings would be channelled towards the new pharmacy contract, which recognises the role pharmacists play in providing and supporting a reliable service that meets patients needs, they said.
Category M applies to some medicines that had previously been in Category A of the Drug Tariff, and was introduced in April 2005. The basic prices of drugs in Category M reflect the average manufacturers' market prices after discount, rather than being based on the Category A system of basket prices before discount. The new arrangements are expected to operate for not less than five years from 1st April 2005, the Department of Health sources added.

Yes, Merry Christmas. In this season of unbridled avarice and consumerism, may I suggest you take a moment away from news of retail sales and what they augur; away from breathless reporting on the crises du jour; away from politicians, protesters, modern-day Luddites and all manner of such hucksters? Consider instead the origin of today's celebration. Contemplate for a moment a humble birth in an occupied Middle Eastern country two millennia ago. Think what you will, that event changed the world profoundly, and for the better.
I can see the brows furrowing, particularly among those who consider "mere Christianity," to borrow a phrase, a bit declasse; too lowbrow, with a tinge of unlettered hickishness about it. Or perhaps too fervent, too feverish, too odd. Then there's that "greater than one's self" business: uncomfortably slavish for those taught from birth that they can be anything they wish, and do exactly as they please - except perhaps smoke a cigarette on the Pearl Street Mall...
These are confusions, fed by a culture profoundly uneasy with the call to service, sacrifice and self-control. For more than 50 years, American society has taken as its lodestar the philosophy of Rabelais' Abbey of Thelema: "Do as thou would'st." Self-gratification and self-realization is paramount; we dislike being said no to. In contrast, Christian philosophers from St. Augustine to Thomas Moore to C.S. Lewis have had no problem distinguishing liberty from license, condemning the latter as harmful but recognizing the former as one of the fundamental elements of true freedom - when alloyed with a healthy appreciation of our own limits and nature. Theirs is the season's greatest gift; it should be unwrapped and treasured, not left under the tree.
One current argument against celebration of the Bethlehem event is hypocrisy: believers tend to be more conservative, and - it is said - to oppose funding government programs for the poor. In contrast, more "open-minded" liberals are generous with entitlements. This is false logic, as any Bible-reader knows: Christ's mandate was for individual action. He said "sell all you have and give it to the poor," not "give all you have to Caesar, that he may spread the wealth around." One should also note that self-described American conservatives are far more charitable than their liberal brethren. But charity is personal; one uses one's own money and gives directly.
There's also the objection that religion has been used to justify some pretty sketchy behavior - think about the Crusades or Conquistadores. But if one speaks of the Catholic Church - central to both of the above - one should note that it operates through human instruments, subject to all the failings and foibles of our nature. If anything, the shortcomings of a Pope Leo IX or Alexander VI should move us to consider our own frailties, and to be mindful of them when we act.
We should also note that in the latter case, Christianity's arrival in the Americas resulted in the elimination of two great evils: human sacrifice and slavery. The latter was a much-protracted struggle in which religion played a crucial role, beginning with the sixteenth-century writings of two clerics, Bartolome de las Casas and Sor Juana de la Cruz.
Recent opposition to religious expression in America seems to grow out of a mistaken belief that we are an utterly secular nation, religion having nothing to do with our mores, laws or customs. This fallacy is quickly debunked by noting our Founders' statements about the source of our rights - God, not government - and by reading, among others, President John Adams' opinion about the sort of people our government was created to serve. That the mistaken belief continues is due largely to a small but vocal minority who seek to drive religion from public life, in service to some warped version of multiculturalism or out of their own personal pique. Their success, to the extent they have it, is an indication of how uneducated and uncaring we are concerning our own origins and foundational principles.
In the end, however, this is a passing concern. Politics change. Societies evolve and eventually, fade. Even nations grow and die. But truth abides. The truth of the Bethlehem event and what followed will certainly outlive all of us. It will outlive those who think it foolish. It will survive those who wish to wipe it out. It will be with humanity when the memory of the United States is as dim as that of the Merovingian kingdom is for us today. Perhaps that is what disturbs those who struggle against it the most: the reality of what is eternal, and what is ephemeral. Food for a long thought on this quietest of days.
So, Merry Christmas to all. And may God bless us, every one.

Operators of Westgate Shopping Center are taking the mall in a new direction by adding a mix of high-end outlet stores as part of a $15 million revamp.
J. Crew Factory, Gap Factory Store and a combined 9,137 square-foot Carter's and Oshkosh B'Gosh are slated as additions to Westgate as early as spring of 2015.
Just 3.5 miles from shopping destinations Valley Fair and Santana Row, the hope is that anchor stores such as J. Crew and Gap Factory will "drive more shoppers" to the mall, said Jeff Kreshek, vice president of West Coast Leasing, part of Federal Realty Investment Trust.
"Our customer is looking for quality, variety and diversity--a product mix that outlet shops combined with full-price brands can deliver," he said.
Kreshek said the company believes it can offer convenience and more options for shoppers in the heavily populated area of Saratoga, Hamilton and Campbell avenues.
Nicole Conklin, a San Jose mother of three on a budget, said that while the new outlet stores might increase traffic, she is excited to have bargains in her area.
She added that having the option to buy quality clothes at affordable prices will help her and others struggling in the San Jose area.
"We don't travel to the other outlets because of gas prices, which ends up negating the money we would save on clothing in Gilroy," Conklin said. "Having a local outlet mall will allow me to dress my children at an affordable price and simultaneously not hurt my gas tank in the process."
Westgate Shopping Center has already started its transition, adding a Nike Factory Store in February and a Skechers Factory Outlet in July. The mall is also home to other stores that tout deals such as Target, Nordstrom Rack, Walmart Neighborhood Market, Old Navy, Burlington Coat Factory, Michaels and Ross.

Middle English (as a noun): from Old French curer (verb), cure (noun), both from Latin curare 'take care of', from cura 'care'. The original noun senses were 'care, concern, responsibility', in particular spiritual care (hence sense 3 of the noun). In late Middle English the senses 'medical care' and 'successful medical treatment' arose, and hence 'remedy'.
curate from Middle English:
The word curate, 'an assistant to a parish priest', comes from medieval Latin curatus, from Latin cura 'care' (because the parishioners are in his care), the source of a number of words including cure (Middle English), curator (Late Middle English), accurate (late 16th century) 'done with care', and secure (Late Middle English) 'free from care'. You can describe something that is partly good and partly bad as a curate's egg. This is one of those rare expressions whose origin can be precisely identified. A cartoon in an 1895 edition of the magazine Punch features a meek curate at the breakfast table with his bishop. The caption reads: 'BISHOP: "I'm afraid you've got a bad egg, Mr Jones." CURATE: "Oh no, my Lord, I assure you! Parts of it are excellent!" ' Only ten years later the phrase had become sufficiently familiar to appear in a publication called Minister's Gazette of Fashion: 'The past spring and summer season has seen much fluctuation. Like the curate's egg, it has been excellent in parts.'
