The easiest way to dress up a meal is to turn the obligatory vegetable into something special. It's especially nice to use seasonal flavors. In this dish, ginger adds a subtle kick and cranberries a fall flair to glazed carrots. With sugar and butter, the dish is a little sweet and a little indulgent, but it captures the season beautifully.
Pair this with roasted meats. It's especially good with other seasonal favorites, such as roast turkey or duck.
If you really like the heat of ginger, use a little more of it. Peeled baby-cut carrots are a convenient option, but if you prefer, use whole carrots, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks.
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 ounces fresh ginger root, peeled and grated (about 2 tablespoons), or more to taste
• 2 pounds baby-cut carrots
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• Salt
• 1 1/2 cups homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth or water
• 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Melt the butter in a large nonstick saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the carrots, sugar, salt to taste and the broth or water, and stir to combine. Cook until the liquid comes to a boil, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cranberries and increase the heat to medium-high, bringing the liquid to a boil. Cook until the liquid has reduced to a glazelike consistency and the carrots are just tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer to a serving dish; just before serving, stir to evenly coat the carrots with the glaze. Seven or 8 servings.

Dothan's personnel board approved Police Chief John Powell's request for five new police officer positions.
According to Chief Powell, the need for new officers comes from the continuing growth of the city and the number of calls the police receive.
"We are servicing about 87 square miles...so that puts a demand on our resources that we have and additional staff will help keep response times where they are, and also ensure we keep our service to the community," said Chief Powell.
Chief Powell says the department receives more than 160-thousand calls a year.

Sandy Dahl, who channeled the tragedy of her husband's death on Sept. 11, 2001, into a powerful campaign to honor his memory, has died.
Dahl, 52, apparently died in her sleep, said family friend David Dosch.
Dahl's husband, Jason, was the San Jose State-trained captain of United Flight 93 on 9/11. She strongly believed Jason fought alongside passengers to keep terrorists from crashing the plane into the U.S. Capitol or the White House. The plane instead crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania.
The couple lived in Ken-Caryl Ranch in the dream home Jason was renovating. Dahl moved out after her husband's death but continued to live in Colorado.
In the wake of the attacks, Sandy Dahl became a public face for all grieving 9/11 families.
She founded a scholarship fund in her husband's honor to provide funding for young pilots to receive their education. And she gradually warmed to public speaking, to make sure the heroism of Jason and many others aboard Flight 93 was not forgotten.
"They did what would almost never be asked of anyone," Sandy Dahl told The Denver Post last year. "I want to make sure history is written." Dahl, though, said it was emotionally difficult to keep up the effort. She said she had nightmares and had been told she had post-traumatic stress disorder. Still, she kept going.
"It's an unusually wonderful thing they did, their self-sacrifice," Dahl said of those aboard Flight 93.
Jason Dahl had strong ties to San Jose, where he grew up and where the elementary school he attended has been renamed in his honor. Dahl studied aviation at San Jose State, where he earned his degree in 1980.
Dosch, who is president of the Captain Jason Dahl Scholarship Fund, said Sandy Dahl's death was a surprise.
"Jason and Sandy were my best friends," he said. "This is a complete shock." Tom Bush, a family friend who is also a scholarship fund board member, said Dahl was in good health. She attended the scholarship fund's annual awards dinner this month.
"She was so proud to be able to be a part of that, to present those scholarships to this year's winners," Bush said.
He said Dahl died peacefully but the cause of her death has not been determined.
"She was a brave woman, I think a soldier herself in many ways, standing up for this country, just like her husband did," Bush said. "It's kind of appropriate that it's Memorial Day weekend." The impact of Dahl's campaign to honor her husband and other 9/11 heroes was evident Friday night, as news of Dahl's death spread on Twitter.
"Gods bless you Sandy Dahl!! You are now with your brave Husband!" one user wrote.
"Sandy Dahl, indefatigable in her efforts to keep her husband's memory alive, joined him tonight," another wrote.

NEW YORK (October 4, 2012)--Saturday Night Live," Jimmy Fallon, Piers Morgan, the "Today" show and "Good Morning America" all asked for appearances from the giant yellow Muppet Big Bird after Mitt Romney unexpectedly thrust him into the presidential campaign Wednesday night.
Sesame Workshop said Big Bird is declining all appearances, however.
During his debate Wednesday in Denver with President Barack Obama, Romney called for cutting federal funding to PBS, even though he said, "I love Big Bird."
The call renewed a long-running debate over subsidies to public broadcasting.
PBS chief Paula Kerger said she "just about fell off the sofa" when the issue suddenly came up.
She said that if the subsidy goes, so will some PBS stations.

How to count notes. Sounds easy, right? Well, unfortunately it is the one thing that beginning music readers get seem to get wrong.
Not only do you have to play the right notes, but it is just as important to play the notes with the correct rhythm!
It's as easy as "one - two - three - four!"
When you learn to count notes, it helps tremendously if you count out loud! Counting out loud helps you focus on the notes and the rhythm timing. Most beginners will say "I'll count in my head," but after a measure or two, they've stopped counting, they have lost their concentration, and the rhythm falls apart.
We'll learn to count whole notes, half notes, quarter notes and sixteenth notes. We'll also learn what a dotted note is, and how to count dotted half notes and quarters.
Though it may seem very easy and "childish" or "silly" to count notes, don't let the simplicity of the act of counting diminish its importance! As they say, just do it!
For example a half note would be counted "one and two and;" pressing the note on "one," and holding down while you say "and two and."

Award: Chauvenet Prize
Year of Award: 2011
Publication Information: Notices Amer. Math. Soc, 54(2007), no. 2, 192-207.
Summary: The four vertex theorem is a beautiful result in global differential geometry. It says that any smooth simple closed curve in the plane must have at least four "vertices"— local extrema for the curvature function. The vertices of a (noncircular) ellipse, for example, are located where it meets its major and minor axes. Remarkably, the converse of the four vertex theorem is also true. Any continuous real-valued function on the circle with at least two local maxima and two local minima is the curvature function for some simple closed curve in the plane.This carefully-crafted survey has enough mathematical details to give the reader a sense of the proofs, but not so many to obscure the big picture.

You'd best not walk away, unless you want that coffee in an uncomfortable spot.
Now you just hold on a second Frank. You ain't skating out of this one!
I had to repost because of an embarrassing typo. :-(
teens need to learn that the web is not that safe, tread carefully through it, sometimes people pressure us to do what we never thought of doing, or someone can catfish us
Yeah – Getting all this across to Luann without coming off as the enemy – now that will require two great minds to think alike.
"teens need to learn that the web is not that safe, tread carefully through it, sometimes people pressure us to do what we never thought of doing, or someone can catfish us"
Frank's right – it's definitely about precaution. A good AV/internet protection suite would handle the possibility of penetration and/or unwanted intrusion into vulnerable areas one holds to remain intact and unspoiled…
parents of teenagers would understand…
She reached for that shirt before he opened his mouth, or started to turn away.
Introducing the ultimate protector of the internet: A good 30,000,000 volt charge to the posterior in the event things start to get out of control. Provides instant 'guidance' for the offending user and instantaneously wipes data from the computing device, thus keeping it from falling into the wrong hands.
A problem is that the two of them don't appear to know much about the internet. Luann probably has a far better idea of how to stay out of trouble online than they do.
The best solution I've heard of for the internet is for parents to keep the computer in the family room/living room where everyone can see it. If a kid is tempted (and no doubt every one is at sometime or another), it would be too embarassing for them to go to sites their family wouldn't like.
There is the problem of school, though. What are they being exposed to there, in today's PC climate? Considering what they taught girls when I was in K-12, I can't imagine what they teach them today. The "actions have no consequences", "do whatever you want", "go out and sleep with the best", etc. that girls were taught in the 1980s and 1990s is probably tame compared to now.
Love the last panel- the body language speaks loud and clear.
She's just talking to Quill though, not some 40-year-old creep, and her parents know this. What are they afraid will happen, that she'll get cyber-pregnant?
The issues would be whether Luann is involved in anything inappropriate – sexting, chatting with predators and perhaps arranging to meet in real life, looking at pornography, this sort of thing. All of these are problems in real life that parents need to be concerned about.
Frank though he could skate? What, he's a newly-wed?
Man's gotta get some faster feet.
boringgggggggggg…. bring back TJ and ANN in weenie world land.

Mercedes SL63 AMG roadster revealed
Mercedes reveals its lighter, more powerful and technology-packed new SL63 AMG roadster
Mercedes has revealed its all-new SL63 AMG roadster. It will make its world debut at the 2012 Geneva motor show, and as usual for Merc's performance convertible, it's something of a tech showcase.
Power comes from AMG's now widely used 5.5-litre V8 engine, direct injection and twin-turbocharging not only increasing performance over the old SL63's 6.2-litre naturally aspirated unit (518bhp and 464lb ft maximums rise to 530bhp and 590lb ft), but improving its efficiency too (20mpg and 328g/km morph into 28.5mpg and 231 g/km).
With an all-aluminium bodyshell (and carbonfibre bootlid), it's a notable 125kg lighter than the outgoing SL63, weighing in at 1845kg. As well as aiding its more environmentally friendly figures, it results in a ten per cent improved power-to-weight ratio, up to 292bhp/ton.
An optional AMG Performance pack ups power and torque to 557bhp and a fairly monstrous 664lb ft, enough to hustle the SL63 to 62mph in 4.2sec. The pack also lifts the electronically limited top speed from 155 to 186mph. Fuel economy is apparently unchanged.
Among the heavily abbreviated technology fitted as standard is ABC (active body control), an active spring and damper system tasked with reducing body roll, and MCT, the seven-speed automatic gearbox. This boasts comfort, sport, sport+ and manual modes, with features ranging from auto stop/start to a 'race start' launch control feature. A host of AMG Performance Studio options include a locking rear differential and sportier suspension.
Being a roadster, it boasts a folding hard-top as standard, while there's a host of open-air gadgetry, with 'airscarf' neck heating, climatised seats and 'magic sky control' – a glass roof that can be tinted or lightened at the touch of a button – optional. Standard fit is 'frontbass', a clever new audio setup that's said to optimise the stereo's sound depending on whether the roof is closed or folded.
Prices haven't yet been revealed, but expect little change from £110,000 when sales begin in June. Just in time to enjoy the UK's inevitably short heatwave…

No Tough Love for Wall Street
Posted on Feb 10, 2009
What an insipid anticlimax! Rising to "a challenge more complex than our financial system has ever faced," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner promised on Tuesday to give trillions more to the very folks who profited from that malignant complexity. For all the brave talk about transparency and accountability in the banking bailout, he gave the swindlers who got us into this mess yet another blank check to buy up the "toxic assets" they gleefully created.
According to the Congressional Oversight Panel created by Congress to monitor the bailout, the Bush Treasury Department overpaid by $78 billion of our money in the first 10 purchases of those assets. Yet Geithner tells us "Congress acted quickly and courageously" in throwing that money at Wall Street without requiring any accountability. At the same time, there is still no commitment to directly help what Geithner admits are the millions of homeowners already foreclosed out of their homes, with millions more to come. The leaks from Treasury promise that $50 billion will eventually be allocated directly to helping homeowners, which is a day late and a dollar short in chump change compared to the trillion dollars that Geithner on Tuesday committed to the purchase of more bad bank debt.
The Geithner speech betrayed the buildup to it offered by President Obama in his press conference the day before. I was such a sucker I found myself cheering at almost every line, agreeing that Republicans acted with total irresponsibility in opposing Obama's plan to stimulate an economy that was wrecked on their watch. But then came the hangover reality of Geithner's talk. Instead of the promised transparency we were treated to yet another "trust Big Brother" hustle.
How wonderful that Geithner, who as head of the New York Federal Reserve was in on the first wasted $350 billion, now promises a brand new Web site to help us taxpayers follow the action. It means nothing, given that he specifically ruled out any of the serious means of holding Wall Street accountable.
The New York Times got it right: "… the plan largely repeats the Bush administration's approach of deferring to many of the same companies and executives who had peddled risky loans and investments at the heart of the crisis. …" Geithner and White House economic czar Lawrence Summers won out over David Axelrod and other Obama advisers more loyal to the wishes of grass-roots voters; "… as intended by Mr. Geithner, the plan stops short of intruding too significantly into bankers' affairs even as they come onto the public dole."
Square, Site wide
The word dole is usually applied heartlessly to welfare mothers sustained in their dire poverty by meager government handouts, not to the top bankers now ripping off the taxpayers. But as opposed to welfare mothers, who must survive stringent monitoring, the bankers will be largely self-monitoring. No wonder that welfare rolls, because of onerous eligibility rules, are not rising commensurate to the degree of misery out there. There is no such tough love for bankers.
Much has been made of the proposed $500,000 pay cap that applies only to the most senior executives, who, rest assured, have already salted away massive fortunes made while hustling unsuspecting consumers with teaser loans. But there is nothing from Geithner about replacing those top executives, who presided over the disintegration of financial institutions that the taxpayers must now salvage. Nor is there any "moral hazard" pain planned for the shareholders in those Ponzi-scheme companies of the sort reserved for ordinary folks losing their homes.
Believe it or not, I fully expected this morning to write a cheerleading column hailing Geithner's reversal of course. Surely the man who as head of the New York Fed sat idly by while the Wall Street giants he was supposed to be monitoring imploded would have learned the error of his ways. Otherwise why would Obama have appointed him?
I don't have the answer. The Obama of Monday's press conference, a president in the tradition of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, seemingly deeply feeling the average person's pain as he movingly speaks of the laid-off workers of Elkhart, Ind., was absent from the next day's speech by his treasury secretary.
If like me you still get those chatty e-mails from the Obama campaign, it is time to remind them that we voted for the caring community organizer from the streets of Chicago and not some hack carrying water for the predators of Wall Street.

To people who think that all these bailouts are robbing our children, I would like to say that they are robbing baby boomers the most. Their retirement savings will worth nothing and they will not be able to find work either. The younger generation will loose from inflation much less and their earning will most likely rise with inflation.

Public bail out of the banks, by either purchase of "toxic assets", or direct capital infusions, while keeping the same owners and managers in place, is THEFT, plain and simple.

I tried to warn everybody that Obama's just a DLC shill in new wrapping. Oh well.
I suppose the only thing left is for those who put him in power (those, such as the "progressives", he deceptively used) to turn on him with a sustained vengeance.
By Joe Carpenter, February 11, 2009 at 7:10 pm Link to this comment
The plan is incomplete. The crisis started with the housing problem and Geithner's plan does not address this issue any level. Today the White House said they would get to the foreclosures soon. Even Barney Frank was critical of the Geithner proposal. The White House really needs to hit the 'pause button' and really analyze the options. Obama wants to be viewed as proactive, and that's great for his approval rating, but there is a difference between proactive politics and just plain reckless.

I think my socialist friends have the clearest view of the matter:
The plan will not only inject tens of billions of additional dollars into financial firms, but also use Treasury funds and Federal Reserve loans to offload worthless bank assets onto the public by means of a so-called Public-Private Investment Fund.
The third major aspect of the plan announced by Geithner is a vast expansion of a program announced by the Fed last November to provide cheap loans and subsidies to hedge funds, private equity firms and other speculators to encourage them to buy bank securities backed by auto loans, credit card debt, student loans, commercial real estate and small business loans….

Wall Street and their BIG BANKS became separated from Main Street with the blessing of K-Street and its congressional sycophants from the Beltway who enabled their hubris through deregulation and no oversight. Big Banks had one motive and that was profiteering while disregarding standard banking leveraging principles which eventually led to their racketeering practices in the global sub-prime market causing a financial meltdown. The Wall Street center of gravity has been exposed, hubris and greed go unpunished and the same CEO's who perpetrated the meltdown remain in place while spewing meaningless mea culpas to the congressional enablers.

George Carlin said it best:
"The real owners are the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians, they're an irrelevancy. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the statehouses, the city halls. They've got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all of the news and information you hear. They've got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying—lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else,"

A severe case of wing flapping with no sign of a takeoff, all around DC. Obama is too nice when the expectation was he would be tough. Writing to Congressmen and Senators yields answers by staffers who ignore your topic. On TARP, I wrote to Senator Feinstein: "Geez, Senator, be careful. $750 B would finance the construction of a World Trade Center every three miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Now that would solve the unemployment problem. It is criminal that the Wall St. CEO's are being given not only a pass, but lavished with cash. China, it seems, has a better solution for these types.

Think of all the financial scandals over the last twenty-some years. The S&L scandal, the 1987 stock market bubble and crash, the housing boom and bust of the late 1980s (bet you'd forgotten that one), the dot.com bubble and bust, the Enron scandal, the oil and commodity price spikes of last year. And now all this.
Any sane person would conclude that the system doesn't work, and needs drastic reform. It doesn't need propping up from the underclass to save it. It needs to be torn down. American unfettered capitalism doesn't work. It's a fraud.
But there's nothing we can do. All the wealth and power is in the hands of the perpetrators.

What truthdig needs is a weekly column by a heavy critic of Wall St. who will educate as well as pontificate.
I'm thinking of my man Karl Denninger, who writes daily article on his blog, he's a little hot under the collar and writes as if everyone understands infinitely more than they do, but, he is energetic and I think right on many points and without question able to provide a critical perspective as to what's happening.
For example, in today's column he excoriates O and G of course, but then goes on to his own prescription which I'll outline to give you and idea ...
1. most major banks are insolvent, send in the examiners, mark to market, cram down equity, etc., if this works reopen, if not sell off assets ...
2. declare naked credit default swaps null and void.
3. prosecute fraud in banking system
4. repass Glass Steagal and various other gutted regulations to prevent ... a list of fraudlent activities Wall St. has developed
5. terminate 23A exemptions (whatever they are)
6. reinstate reserve requirements
7. disclose Fed activity
8. cease unmandated Fed activity ..
Denninger has more on each of these .... the point is that the Fed, and Scheer, and the media are not even discussing the problem, much less providing any info on a potential solution .....

o (obama needs to man-up and until then will be referred to as "o") has taken the Clinton policy of centrism by bringing the corporate world into the fold of the Democratic party. Once o becomes more of a leader he may extract his due from the corporate world -most likely after he leaves office. Presently, o is playing up to the favors that got him into office as a senator and now president - the people will receive the crumbs off the table in due time.

Neutral I am, to quote Obi Wan. What really interests Obama? It's difficult to tell because he's so new and inexperienced. There is simply an awful lot he doesn't know. Especially about econonomics and foreign affairs.
This is worrying, as these two core subjects are right at the front of all the challenges we face. Has he ever really shown an interest in these areas? OK one can argue that he's got a lot of super-qualified advisors, yet the people he's chosen are all Washington insiders.
I think 'change' equals competence for Obama, not a fundamental rethink or change of direction for the United States. Bush was perceived as a dunce, his people incompetent, fighting 'dumb' wars in the wrong place, against the wrong enemy. Obama was the 'anti-dumb war' candidate. Iraq was merely a 'mistake' not a crime against humanity, a war crime.
Non-ideological, pragmatic and competent, these all hang together under the umbrella of 'change.' Yet there really isn't much change involved here, unless a return to 'normalcy' after the Bush era of 'extremism' is what one apires to.

If you check the results of the stock market yesterday, Geithner's announcement was followed not only with gloom and doom and whining and bitching, but the vast majority of "gainers" were financials. I venture to pose that, had Obama been one of the WORMs (White Old Republican Men), and if he had not capped the largess of same, the package would have been met with glee. The Old Boys' Club lives on and you—among others—continue to let them get away with it.
We are in crisis here!! Try to focus.

Our Sleep Experts can answer your questions and help you find your best night's sleep.
For questions after you buy contact us
We design every Tempur-Pedic mattress to deliver your best night's sleep, and we're confident you'll love yours too. But you don't have to take our word for it.
Read these Tempur-Pedic reviews and discover what actual owners think about their TEMPUR products.
"In 1998, my chiropractor suggested I get a Tempur-Pedic pillow for my neck problems. When I laid down on a bed to "try" the pillow, I realized the bed was gently shifting. When I found out the bed was made of the same amazing material as the pillow, I immediately bought the pillow AND bed. That nite, I slept the first time on the pillow only (since the bed had to be delivered later). The next morning, I woke up from the first refreshing sleep in 20 years! Sleeping on the bed is why I am functional living with fibromyalgia and chronic pain. While others "can't sleep" with these conditions, further deteriorating their health nite by nite, my Tempur-Pedic, together with some breath and relaxation, gives me a rejuvenating sleep every nite. While I have replaced the pillow every few years, my bed looks and feels good as new and still has another 10 official good years, and probably more than that unofficially. Since conventional beds should be discarded every 5-7 years, my Tempur-Pedic has been my best sleep health investment ever!"
"This is my first tempurpedic bed that i bought, i also bought two of the tempur traditional pillows as well. I must say that first nights sleep it was different compared to my normal spring beds. I found that difference a little difficult to get use to. But after the first night the other nights that followed felt a lot better once i got use to the feeling of memory foam."
"At 51 yrs old and having gone through possibly 100 different pillows in my life so far,this is the only pillow I will buy for a second time. It stays where I put it for comfort. It breathes and is cool even in the summer. I have never been so pleased with a pillow before, I am a side sleeper and it gives amazing support for my neck. Even if I happen to roll on my back, the pillow automatically and magically adjusts to my new position. Pillow is a little pricey but if it lasts the full warranty period, it will still be less expensive than replacing another pillow every 6 months. HIGHLY recommended to anyone that has had trouble finding a great pillow. With one exception... the person that likes a flat or no pillow at all. This is my opinion on this great pillow and if you don't believe me, you can ask me. "
"I really enjoy my sleep on my Cloud mattress. The only negative thing i can say about the mattress is that i have to get out of it to go to work!!! I go to bed earlier since I purchased my mattress to enjoy it that much longer in a nights rest!! I love it and recommend it!!! It's worth investing in a good mattress. It worth investing in a Tempur matress!!!"
"I was skeptical but heard so many amazing reviews from friends I couldn't ignore it. After a week sleeping on the bed I almost returned this but was convinced to give it 60 days. Once my body adjusted to it I LOVED IT. And it did take almost 60 days. It is incredible. I have back problems and could only sleep on my side. Now I can sleep on side or back. Best sleep ever."
"I bought the cloud luxe and I love it. It took me sometime to get used to it but I love it.. I have fibromyalgia and many other issues and it is like sleeping on a cloud.. thank you for this wonderful bed. I am telling everyone about it. "
"My Husband and I purchased our Tempur-Pedic (Signature Contour) Mattress in May of this year. We have been very pleased with the purchase. Although we were advised that we would perhaps need about a month to adjust to the mattress, we did not find this. We immediately found the mattress comfortable and that it helped ease aches and pains. We don't know why we waited so long! We also enjoy the tempur comfort pillows and find we cannot sleep without them. Recently we were at our cottage for a few weeks and found we didn't sleep as well …despite the relaxing surroundings by the water. It was so nice to come home to our bed:) We have referred some friends to try Tempur-Pedic and they also have been pleased. The store where we bought our mattress (For Sleeps Sake) were great to deal with….they were knowledgeable and encouraged us to take our time and try each mattress for a good 20 minutes each. We knew we had to get the mattress when we almost fell asleep in the store! We are very happy with the mattress and will recommend Tempur-Pedic to other friends!"
"When we got this bed, I learned that you can actually sleep through the night."
- Johnathan & Jamie S.
"Unbelievable as it may seem to those who haven't tried one, even a good-quality down pillow is less comfortable than a TEMPUR. A few weeks ago, we had guests at our home for several days; both guests who used the pillows later asked how they could buy one for themselves – which I think spoke very well for TEMPUR. Congratulations to you all for making something that's probably the best of its type in the world!"
Alex Tilley
Tilley Endurables - Don Mills, ON
"This is simply the BEST bed on Earth! I could not sleep at all after my accident. My first night in the TEMPUR bed was FANTASTIC! I slept through the whole night for the first time in over 8 months and 7 different beds. Thank you very much for helping get me off of pain pills!"

What is in this article?:
- Push on for comprehensive immigration reform
- Reform benefits
- Consequences of no action
- Addressing opponents
Immigration reform needed to ensure continued health of U.S. agriculture, says Vilsack. Claims reform would lead to job production, deficit reduction, border security. Pushes for House vote.
Consequences of no action
And what happens if Congress doesn't pass immigration reform?
"As long as there's uncertainty, we're going to have growers make decisions not to expand," said Vilsack. "We're going to have growers make decisions to contract their operations. Some growers will move operations to other countries.
"Over time, if that continues, it will obviously impact the food supply produced domestically. That will not only impact what's available in grocery stores but also the cost.
"It's important for everyone to understand we all have a stake in immigration reform as it relates to our food supply."
Queried on his recent interactions with Congress regarding immigration reform, Vilsack said his conversations have been "primarily with those on the House Agriculture Committee. … It's fairly clear from Speaker (John) Boehner's recent comments, and even from Leader (Eric) Cantor's comments, that they understand there needs to be something done on immigration reform…
"When you talk to members privately, they acknowledge the significance and importance of immigration reform. I think a small minority of people in the House who, for whatever reason, aren't interested in immigration reform, are making it more difficult than it should be."
Vilsack said he wasn't privy to any discussion within the Obama administration regarding ratcheting down deportations, which are at all-time high.

Over 75,000 paying customers came to watch the races at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday, and each and every one of them got their money's worth. Three classes, three winners, battles to the very end, and serious consequences for all three championships, with two thirds of the races done.
The day got off to a great start for the home crowd with a calculated and determined performance from Scott Redding to win the Moto2 race. Redding had come to Silverstone with two goals: to win the race, and to further demoralize his main rival for the title Pol Espargaro. He succeeded totally in both objectives, much to the relief of the British fans.
When Redding turned up at his home track with a special patriotic livery, the Union Jack splashed all over the fairing of his bike, fans feared the worst. Bad memories of previous years when British riders had sported patriotic color schemes were imprinted fresh on their minds, and they feared that Redding had jinxed himself.
Redding disagreed, and demonstrated his point by running in the top 3 in every session but one. He made sure that he always finished ahead of Espargaro, and once he qualified on the front row, posting a stunningly consistent string of fast laps in the process, he had the job half-done.

ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Qantas will begin installing its wireless Q Bag Tag self-service luggage drop system in 21 Australian regional airports this month.
The rollout follows the introduction of the touch-and-go Q Card readers in all these airports, which is the first stage of Qantas' Next-Generation Checkin system.
The airports are: Albury, Alice Springs, Broome, Cairns, Coffs Harbour, Darwin, Emerald, Gladstone, Hobart, Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Launceston, Mackay, Newman, Paraburdoo, Port Hedland, Port Macquarie, Rockhamptom, Tamworth, Townsville and Wagga Wagga.
Qantas says the electronic baggage drop facilities will be installed in all the regional airports by the end of June.
There's still no word on when Adelaide, Brisbane and Canberra will receive Next-Generation Checkin beyond Qantas' promise that "the program is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2011."
Travellers should note that as part of the Next-Generation Checkin system, Qantas will charge domestic passengers between $15 and $60 for extra bags from June 1st, and introduce an additional $20 'heavy charge' for bags beyond the ticket allowance which weigh more than 23kg.
Qantas currently permits passengers to check any number of bags on domestic flights provided their combined weight falls under a ceiling of 23kg to 45kg (depending on your class of travel and Qantas Frequent Flyer status level).But from the beginning of June all travellers will be limited by the number of bags they can check in, in addition to a per-bag weight limit.
For more on this, read our report on how Qantas' new domestic baggage allowances will affect every traveller.
We've also discovered that the Qantas wireless Q Bag Tags can be shared among friends, family and colleagues, and we've detailed the top 5 things you need to know about Qantas Next-Generation Check-in.

My world as I knew it came crashing down the day the home pregnancy test read positive. My first thoughts were "I'm only 18 years old and a freshman in college. How could I possibly have a child?" and "I barely know this baby's father." In my mind, this was the worst thing that could have happened, so naturally, I started thinking the worst thoughts: My mother is going to yell; My dad is going to freak out; I'm going to disappoint my entire family! I started to think of ways to prevent this from happening. Immediately, abortion came to mind.
We talked for at least an hour about EVERYTHING — the baby's father, my parents, what I wanted to do about being pregnant—everything! I told her I was deeply considering getting an abortion because I felt like it was my only option. We talked about abortion and what it means. We also talked about alternative options, like adoption and even being a mother. I remember thinking, "Wow, that word has never sounded so scary — Mother!'"
At the PRC, I didn't feel pressured to keep the child. Keren simply told me, "Abortion is not your only option, and we are going to see you through this difficult time." She made me feel like I had someone to turn to, even if my parents didn't accept me. I didn't feel like she was trying to persuade me; she was only helping me realize what I knew all along—that abortion is not the "easy way out."
The only thing now was to face my biggest fear and tell my parents. I told my mom first, and after the initial shock, she was actually excited. Then, my mother and I sat down with my father and I told him. The one thing I remember him saying was, "Kim, you are my little girl and I love you. There is nothing you could possibly do that would make me love you any less." There were a lot of tears, but I'm very fortunate to have such supportive parents.

Spanish Yields Can't Remain Adrift From Other Assets
Last December, when investors were casting nervous eyes at an increasingly gummed-up European banking system, something interesting happened to Spanish bond yields.
Their negative correlation with global equity increased markedly, as did their positive correlation with their French equivalents.
Now correlations can have a cruel way with those who convince themselves they find cause and effect in them.
They can be a sort of financial-market Rorschach test, in which analysts see whatever is on their own minds at the time. But those at Barclays, at least, are prepared to chance their arms on the reasons for these two sightings.
They think Spanish yields and equity became closely linked because, too big to fail or bail, Spain was an economy whose troubles would have had a major impact on the world economy had they worsened.
French yields joined the party because a potential breach of the firewall around Spain would leave even those core countries such as France, whose credit fundamentals are not as pristine as Germany's, dangerously exposed.
So far so reasonable, but what then are we to make of the breakdown in these correlations we've seen since early June? After all, the focus on Spain this time around is unarguably more fierce than it was last year, and yet those correlations have fallen just as markedly.
From levels around 0.8 in both cases, the correlations are now closer to zero. Remember here that a correlation of one means an exact link; zero no link at all.
One reason for these falls might be that Spanish government debt has become so concentrated in domestic hands that developments in that market tell us little about the perceived risk of a Spanish accident.
On the other hand, perhaps the coming bailout of Spanish banks, and the chance of new European initiatives to hold the whole tottering project together, means the links are weaker this time. This time the cavalry is really coming.
However, Barclays isn't buying either reason. Its analysts think that these correlations will be back soon enough if the euro-zone backdrop darkens again.
"Whatever the cause of the recent de-coupling of Spanish bond and global risk markets, we very much doubt that it will persist if market pressures on Spain continue to mount in the weeks and months ahead," they say.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - This fall marks the 35th anniversary of what became known as one of the most tragic moments in the history of downtown Lexington.
In 1978, Lexington eagerly waited for the finishing touches on what would be, at the time, the tallest building in the city. But before the 22-story Kincaid Towers were finished, something tragic happened.
During the construction of the tower, a Hollywood movie company came to town to produce a film called 'Steel,' starring Kentucky native, the Six Million Dollar Man and former EKU football player Lee Majors.
In interviews prior to the shooting Lee Majors promoted the stunt. "For the final day's filming, George Kennedy is to fall from this building to his death," Majors said at the time. "His fall will be done by Hollywood motion picture stunt man, AJ Bakunas."
The script called for stunt-man AJ Bakunas to leap from the tower, a 323-feet drop, "We've been down here for 16-weeks preparing for this," Bakunas said in an interview. "You, and everyone else on the crew, and I'd like to thank everyone in Kentucky for their hospitality, for helping us out so much."
The doctor who was assigned to oversee medical attention on the movie set, Dr. Judson Chalkley, tried to stop the stunt, believing it was just too dangerous, "I told the producer, the director, I told AJ, I didn't think it was a good idea. We already had the movie in the can so to speak."
Bakunas had already jumped, on film, from the ninth story. But once he heard that a rival stunt man had broken his free fall record at another location, he insisted on re-shooting from the top story, which was 323 feet.
Former WKYT News Director Ken Kurtz said the station had four cameramen employed at the time and all four were assigned to shoot the jump. It was a big deal, according to Kurtz, "This was the first film in a major city in Kentucky, first time in Lexington."
As the cameras rolled, Bakunas made the jump. Traveling at a speed of 115 feet per second, you can hear in the video when Bakunas lands on the air bag below, the sound was concerning to those present.
Former WKYT cameraman BW Blanton was there that day, he said he knew immediately something was wrong. "When he hit, the ground shook beneath my feet," Blanton said.
Chalkley couldn't be there at the time of the filming. He was working the emergency room at Good Samaritan Hospital, but he had one of the paramedics relaying play by play on a walkie talkie, "They initially said everything was okay. And then there was an 'oh my gosh' moment when they realized the air bag had ruptured," Chalkley said.
Incredibly, Bakunas was alive, but critically injured.
Dr. Chalkley was there when Bakunas arrived at the emergency room, "When he initially presented to the emergency room, he grabbed my arm with a look of desperation. He grasped me really hard,he was a strong guy, and it was a very dramatic thing, but you could see in his eyes the fear," Chalkley said.
Incredibly, Bakunas' head and other organs were still intact, but his lungs were too badly damaged during the fall. He died the next day.
The excitement that had gripped he town, gave way to sadness. Kurtz recalls people who never knew AJ Bakunas still seemed to feel the loss. "The city took a real and personal interest in it. And there was definite sadness went he accident happened," Kurtz said.
Blanton still remembers the feeling amongst the crowd that day. "What was going to be a glorious moment, suddenly became a horrific event," he said.
It is still not clear why the air bag ruptured.
A comment made by Lee Majors following his interview with Bakunas just before his jump, makes that tragedy all the more chilling. "Now go back and keep preparing because I wanna keep you around. Well,it should be exciting, but one thing I'd like to know, are world records worth the risk? It's obvious to AJ Bakunas, it is. We'll see," Majors said to Bakunas before the jump.

Definition of puffin in English:
- Genera Fratercula and Lunda, family Alcidae: three species, in particular the (Atlantic) puffin (F. arctica).
- One would imagine this place to be a paradise of alcids of all types, guillemots, dovekies, puffins, razorbills, murres, and murrelets all splashing around in their black and white finery.
- Do not let it run free on coastal islands because terns, eider ducks, puffins, and storm petrels are ground nesters.
- Along thousands of miles of coastline, you will see colonies of seabirds clustered in cliffs - gannets, puffins, guillemots, razorbills, and kittiwakes.
Middle English (denoting the Manx shearwater): apparently from puff + -ing3, with reference to the Manx shearwater's fat nestlings. The later use is a confusion, by association of nesting habits and habitat.
pelican from Old English:
The pelican has always been noted for its long bill and deep throat-pouch for scooping up fish. This distinctive feature probably gave the bird its name, which came from Greek pelekan, probably based on pelekus 'axe'. In Britain a pelican crossing is a road crossing with traffic lights operated by pedestrians. The name, first used in 1966, was taken from the initial letters of the formal title, pedestrian light controlled crossing. Two other pedestrian crossings were given bird names by analogy with the pelican, the puffin (from pedestrian user-friendly intelligent), and toucan crossing. As bird names, puffin has a rather complicated history. It was used in Middle English for the Manx shearwater, probably from 'puff, puffed up', describing the shearwater's fat nestlings. As the two birds often nest together the name was then transferred to the bird we now call a puffin. Toucans, who first appeared in English in the mid 16th century, get their name from the language of the Amazonian Indians called the Tupi, and their name imitates their cry.

Water Bottles are like gold dust in this house. When 6yo takes them to school, they only seem to last a little while before they find a new home in the lost property box despite being named. It then takes me a while before they are reunited with us at home and given a good hot bath in the washing up bowl.
Initially I thought the Oxo Tot Twist Top Bottle was aimed at younger children, but after having this around for a few months in the house (and it's still with us, I think it prefers to come home rather than stay at school), I have realised it has a lot of potential for older children too.
The bottle is nice and chunky which makes it good for little ones to get hold of, but it also makes it very sturdy for older ones. For the younger ones there is a liquid level marker on the sides which is useful. We don't take a lot of notice of that feature when 6yo, but the features I especially like for her which are aimed at the older market are:
- It doesn't leak when the lid is twisted closed.
- It's easy to open and close with a twist revealing the straw and hiding it again
- It's not too small for the book bag and makes it an idea water bottle to fit most sized lunch boxes too.
- It doesn't just come in this lovely raspberry colour, but blue and green too.
The loop on the side of the bottle and the whole lid is made from a non slip rubbery material. For little ones this would be handy for attaching to pushchairs etc, but for 6yo she can just grab the handle and go.
I also like the fact that when you take the lid off there is a very wide neck opening. Have you ever tried to put ice cubes for example in some of the water bottles you can buy? The neck is so narrow it takes ages. This is a nice wide opening for this feature.
This bottle carries a price tag of around £8 which is slightly more than I would normally pay, but actually it really is worth the money. It's also dishwasher safe.
I have one bottle to giveaway as well. Just enter using the rafflecopter below.

The streets of North London have always harboured an abundance of pessimism toward their football clubs, but while Arsenal slip further away from their title-chasing ambitions, there are plenty of reasons for a spot of New Year cheer at White Hart Lane.
The decision to replace loveable rogue Harry Redknapp with failed adolescent Andre Villas-Boas left many with an overwhelming sense of dread. A number of media personnel appeared desperate to help orchestrate another downfall, fuelled by an unconvincing start to the season that had some fans reaching for the panic button.
However, this is not the same manager that was seen cowering on the touchline at Stamford Bridge, having instead instilled a sense of balance and rhythm into a side that was once constantly threatened by tactical naivety. As the January transfer window gathers pace, the club find themselves in a similar position to last year, confident in their ability to stay there.
The announcement of Lewis Holtby's arrival is the latest talented individual set to swap the Bundesliga for the Premier League. It also represents a potential milestone with Spurs fending off the interest of several parties to secure his signature. Does this mean the club are now an attractive and realistic option for the world's most promising players? Is this the first of many renowned faces destined for the Lane?
It's difficult to believe that just five years ago Spurs splurged £35m on the look-away-now trio of David Bentley, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Wilson Palacios. But, like any good businessman, chairman Daniel Levy has learned from his mistakes and last summer completed the shrewd captures of Moussa Dembele, Jan Vertonghen and Clint Dempsey.
There was a whiff of déjà vu when the club were lured into the misleading euphoria surrounding Gylfi Sigurdsson, but at just 23 years of age this gamble may still bear fruit in years to come. At present, the tabloid gossip columns are filled with a distinctly superior calibre of names and the purchase of Willian, Leandro Damiao or Younes Belhanda would certainly deliver a formidable sign of intent.
Joao Moutinho is perhaps the most important prospective new signing, in terms of replacing the methodical brilliance of Luka Modric and issuing a prominent gesture of support for Villas-Boas. However, the Portuguese playmaker's decision is likely to rest solely on the likelihood of obtaining Champions League football next season, which places a fierce onus on the team to achieve another top four finish.
In short, Champions League qualification is essential in completing this transitional phase. It will help distinguish the club from the likes of Everton, Newcastle and even Liverpool as they attempt to make their transfer stall the most appealing in the market. A place in the top four will also surely come at the expense of Arsenal and that alone should provide the greatest incentive of all.
Despite a two-year absence from what is now the most infamous competition in football, the club is still a desirable destination for those looking to resurrect their career as well as build upon it. Both Rafael van der Vaart and Emmanuel Adebayor discovered a platform to reinvent themselves after growing stale from big money moves and while the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modric effectively used the club as a stepping-stone, their resulting struggles perhaps indicate the grass isn't always greener away from the Lane.
Before my promising foresight reaches a state of delirium, it's worth highlighting the worrying lack of experience that currently resides in the playing squad. Brad Friedel has been ushered away from first-team duty and Scott Parker is still plodding along on the road to recovery, which means many are looking at William Gallas for a sense of leadership and unwavering strength. Hardly reassuring is it?
I haven't even mentioned the departure of Mr Tottenham himself Ledley King, a talisman the club will perhaps never be able to effectively replace at the heart of the club. It's not as if there are plenty of candidates waiting in line, especially considering Villas-Boas apparent disdain for the veteran members of his team.
There is a strange and yet somewhat unsurprising feeling among supporters that both manager and chairman are satisfied with the strength of their squad. Perhaps those fears will be allayed by the statistic that Spurs are the third highest spenders in January (£91m) since the transfer window came into force. This is undoubtedly a result of the club trying to revive their ailing fortunes in previous seasons and while this is no longer the case, there will be an even greater desire to cement their position at the summit of the league.
Former Tottenham director of football Damien Comolli has insisted there will be plenty of opportunities to conduct exciting business this month.
"I've never seen a seller's market as it is now – you've got sides in Europe who are ready to write off their seasons and clear their wage bills. They are literally saying, 'everybody is for sale'." (BBC)
And when there is a sale on, who better to have at your disposal than Daniel 'The Bargain Hunter' Levy?
Just gone three or four lines and I'm thinking who wrote this S**t. Rednapp is a scumbag not loveable rogue. AVB won the treble in Portugal. Including the Europa cup and going an entire season unbeaten. Rednapp has won one FA cup in 30 odd years of management. Rednapp wanted joe cole to accompany nelsen and saha into his dads army. AVB has signed Holtby and Fryers I know who's I'd rather have in charged.
Reading this piece, when you say £35 million was spent on "look away now" Bently, Pav and Wilson Palacios, I'll agree with the first two, but Palacios was just what we needed at the time and he gave us some sadly lacking steel in the midfield. His form went downhill after the death of his brother which he never realy seemed to get over. While I was glad to see the back of 'Arry, due to his disloyalty in the face of the England job, SOME useful players were brought in to the club. The purchases under AVB show that there IS an eye for a player, and his willingness to rotate players bodes well for the future.
Sorry but your throw away comment of Palacios being a bad signing shows you know nothing of what he did and was for Tottenham.
Without Wilson Palacios Tottenham would never of made the Champions League (you probably should check the stats of which outfield players were constantly used for the 09/10 season).
Palacios was thrown away instead of the club keeping faith and sticking by him after the death of his brother.
a terrible slap dash article put together in what some might believe in under 5 minutes.
An excellent article, well articulated….for a 10 year old
would have to agree on all points, not sure what everyone is going on about

On Feb. 22, my wife and I had the opportunity to attend the championship game of the Jim Pollard Basketball Tournament at the Grape Pavilion in Lodi. This tournament features sixth- and seventh-grade players from the Lodi area.
I was immediately impressed with the quality of basketball being played. The kids played with discipline and determination. There was a nine-point difference in the scores at the final buzzer, but it could have been much closer (my grandson's team won).
The highlight, for me, occurred just prior to the tip-off when they trotted out this handsome little towhead wearing No. 2 from one of the participating teams to sing the national anthem. His name was Kade Henry.
Super Bowls, World Series, NASCAR races all bring in million-dollar performers to sing the anthem. These "superstars" nearly always make their own alterations to Francis Scott Key's beautiful little tribute, adding a quality somewhere between mutant and disgraceful.
Young Kade Henry took what is conceivably the most cherished piece of music in America and performed it in precisely the manner which it merits.
It was beautiful. The key and cadence were outstanding. He employed simplicity and purity to the piece that I've never heard from any of the high-dollar professionals mentioned earlier. The applause was tumultuous. I'm told that there were a number of damp eyes in the crowd. I don't know. I couldn't see well for a minute.
I just thought you'd like to know.

Former Mets GM Steve Phillips to announce on Sunday Night Baseball
"You talked a little bit about the scouting reports and also about statistics. Where do the Cleveland Indians fall in this era where numbers have become more important than maybe the people?" - During an interview with Indians GM Mark Shapiro
"The Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox could both score 1,000 runs this season." - The Tigers scored 821 runs; the Red Sox, 845
"Bonds is just like Giambi in that he walks a lot and hits some home runs, but when he's not hitting the home runs he's a baseclogger." - Baseclogging. Nice.

Doesn't sound like a joke to me. To me philips sounds like the perfect fit for that broadcast.

You're right. They should all get along famously. Might have to make a Sunday Night Baseball drinking game with all the famous buzzwords: "grit", "hustle", "move the runners over", "I didn't trade Kazmir that was Duquette", "baseclogging", "Dave Concepcion", "Big Red Machine", "Billy Beane is a computer", etc.

Philips is famous for using the phrase "rally killing Home Runs" and one even commented on a Richie Sexson "Rally killing grand slam". I'm all for playing that drinking game..... As a matter of fact I think I might make that today (I'm unemployed and have nothing better to do).
Also on the list:
1) "No more 'Great' teams"
2)"Manufacture runs"
3)"small ball"
4) One of the guys relays an anecdote that actually never happened.
5) Guys who play the game the "right way"
ps. Billy Beane co-wrote Moneyball with a computer and single-handedly ruined baseball.

Larson Is The Man In USAC Opener
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. — Kyle Larson picked up 2013 just as he left off last season, winning Sunday night's USAC Mopar National Midget Series season opener at New Smyrna Speedway.
It was Larson's 11th career victory in the division and his fourth straight.
Bobby Santos jumped to the lead at the outset after utilizing a new format to capture the pole. After Larson set fast time while establishing the tack record, he spun the Oakley Fast Qualifier wheel, inverting the night's two "Scrambles" by six. Santos passed Larson in their scramble to grab the pole and eventually lead the opening five laps.
Caleb Armstrong started alongside and assaulted Santos early in the race before moving underneath in turn-one on lap six. Larson followed suit and a race was on up-front for the win. After sixth-running Kyle Hamilton lost brakes and hit the wall on lap 15, a race-deciding restart saw Larson jump underneath Armstrong and complete the pass before getting to turn-one.
Armstrong fought back, moving in on Larson before hitting fluid and spinning on lap 22. From there, Larson was unchallenged and scored the win in his first night aboard the Rotondo Weirich — Fontana Automotive No. 17b Beast/Fontana.
"I didn't expect to take off that well on the restart, but it did and I had him cleared easily. From there, I just tried to stay low and make him go around me because I thought he was better than me. RW showed last year that their pavement midgets are really strong, so I was really happy to get to run for them, and New Smyrna is a really fast, tricky place that's a lot of fun," Larson said.
After qualifying 13th to begin the night, defending USAC National Midget champion Darren Hagen rebounded to pass two cars in his scramble. He lined up ninth in the feature and came on strong towards the end, grabbing the runner-up spot.
"After the scramble, we put some stagger to it and threw something at it that worked for us a little last year. It woke up the car, and helped us turn the middle better. We were really good on restarts tonight, and there was plenty of room out there to get around guys. It's a really racy place, and we got a pretty good start to the season," Hagen said.
Tracy Hines also came from behind over the course of the night, starting the feature in seventh and dropping back over the first half of the race. In standard Hines fashion, the Parker Machinery – Turbines, Inc. No. 24 Spike/Stanton Toyota was on the move late in the race to grab the final podium spot.
"I fell back early on and we weren't very good. We handled great, especially towards the end. I just want to thank everybody helping this Toyota-powered car, especially Parker Machinery, Turbines, Incorporated & Hansen's Welding. I think we've got a better engine to run tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to it," Hines said.

Google CEO Meets With LG, Samsung; Talks Secret Deals
Jason Mick
May 3, 2013 11:26 AM
comment(s) - last by
May 6
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Nexus TV, Glasses, and Nexus 5 may be on the menu for LG and Google
The Korea Times
is reporting
that Google Inc.'s (
) new CEO Larry Page flew to South Korea last week to meet with top executives at the world's largest and third largest phonemakers -- Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and LG Electronics, Inc. (
) (respectively). Both South Korean-based firms are key proponents of the Android platform.
I. Google Meets With LG, Samsung
Mr. Page's meeting with Samsung's vice chairman Lee Jay-yong, a son of owner Lee Kun-hee, was more casual with the pair appearing in public and Mr. Lee putting his hand on Mr. Page's shoulder in a friendly gesture. Two other Samsung executives -- Samsung Corporate Strategy Office head Choi Gee-sung and mobile division chief Shin Jong-kyun were pictured at the outing.
The world's largest smartphone maker is a challenging puzzle for Google. Recent reports indicate that Google is
nervous about Samsung's size
allowing it to try to force Google to abandon its position as a non-biased third-party platform provider. At the same time Google is well aware that Samsung is working on a
new Linux-based smartphone OS -- Tizen
-- with Intel Corp. (
). Thus Google must tread cautiously.

But ultimately the problem may be fixing itself, via Google's other host on the visit -- LG.
LG Electronics started the smartphone wars sluggishly, which
led to the ouster of then-CEO Nam Yong
. The gadgetmaker refreshed its management, installing Koo Bon-Joon as its new CEO. Under Mr. Koo's leadership the phonemaker began to recover, with the smartphone unit
first returning to profitability in 2011
. LG has since quietly become a power player in the Android market. And with LG emerging as a strong second-place Android phonemaker, Samsung's potential leverage over Google may naturally erode.
report cites sources as saying, "Larry Page invited Koo for a meeting while he stayed in Seoul last week. They discussed ways to improve their business partnership. The meeting lasted for more than an hour."
II. LG and Google Rumored to be Working on Glasses, Nexus TV, and Nexus 5
Multiple sources have all but confirmed that LG is working to make the next generation Google-branded Nexus smartphone, following the success of its Nexus 4. The high-end smartphone is
rumored to be codenamed "Megalodon"
and pack a 5-inch 1080p OLED screen. It will reportedly
launch at Google I/O
later this month. LG is also working on
an Android smartphone with a flexible display
for the holiday season.
Google Glass
is another key joint effort between LG and Google. LG does not make the current dev-model Glass devices, however, it is expected to release future devices of this form factor, driven by Google technology. Both companies are working on both the hardware and software side
to mature the project
. LG last week received a new patent
U.S. Patent No. 8,427,396
which covers a "Head mounted display and method of outputting a content using the same in which the same identical content is displayed."

LG's new technology could offer improved augmented reality displays for Google Glass, such as overlaid text message readouts or turn-by-turn directions.
While Samsung insists on developing its own proprietary software for its SmartTVs, LG
completed in 2012 a deal to adopt Google TV
. It only launched two models in 2012, but this year it's looking to expand the mix of Google TV's in its lineup, which primarily features SmartTVs with a
proprietary OS
. LG is trying to figure out how best to balance Google TV,
its recent purchase webOS
, and its older proprietary OS in its line.
Google's TV OS has struggled, but the company
doggedly continues to pursue it
, expecting this to emerge as a key market. Reportedly Google may look to pair with LG to do a special "
Nexus TV
" OLED set,
beating rival Apple
, Inc. (
) to the market with a flagship model.
LG is second place in the LCD TV market, currently, trailing Samsung,
according to
Display Search
's March 2013 numbers. But LG is expected to see gains as the first major manufacturer to
release a large form factor OLED TV
. It also released an
eye-catching curved 55-inch OLED design
, which is currently on sale for roughly ~$13,000 USD and only available in South Korea (for now).

RE: All for one ... Microsoft that is.
Agree. Since the current prices (of handsets) with the included MS licensing fees are still competitive in the market. There is no hurry to change anything. However, if Google manages to release the next major version that might do away with potential infringements, then it would be a lot of savings for the OEM. They might not pass all that savings downwards and pocket substantial millions they need. Not that this affects MS much but the bully would really need to be exposed as such tactics in licensing under closed doors are dubious at best. Just because it is MS. Hey look at "Oracle vs Google on Java". Looks solid on Oracle's side but they still lost. MS will be in the same boat if some company dared to go to trial with their suit.
Back to Larry's visit. It has got to be something BIG brewing for Google with LG and Samsung happening soon. Hopefully, we might hear of that soon enough. Or else, a newly release product might give us a strong clue. It has got to be product related. Glass and Nexus maybe more ...
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads
