WASHINGTON — Four Democratic and four Republican senators, including South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, formally unveiled a sweeping immigration bill Thursday at a news conference attended by traditional opponents from big business and labor, conservative groups and liberal ones. The lawmakers argued that this time, thanks to that broad-based support, immigration overhaul legislation can succeed in Congress.
Some highlights of the 844-page immigration overhaul bill introduced Thursday in the Senate:Border securityThe bill sets goals of surveillance of 100 percent of the border with Mexico, and catching or turning back 90 percent of would-be crossers. Path to citizenshipThe 11 million people in the U.S. illegally could obtain "registered provisional immigrant status" six months after enactment of the bill if:(1) The Homeland Security Department has developed border security and fencing plans.(2) They arrived in the U.S. prior to Dec. 31, 2011, and maintained continuous physical presence since then.(3) They do not have a felony conviction or three or more misdemeanors.(4) They pay a $500 fine.Associated PressEmployment verificationWithin five years, all employers must implement E-Verify, a program to electronically verify their workers' legal status. As part of that, non-citizens will be required to show photo ID that must match with a photo in the E-Verify system.For a more comprehensive look at the bill, go to postandcourier.com
"We're either going to get a bill or have one hell of a fight," Graham said.
A day after senators under intense lobbying pressure blocked a major gun-control package, the bipartisan coalition expressed optimism in the bill's chances.
"Powerful outside forces have helped defeat certain other initiatives in Washington, but on immigration, the opposite is proving true," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. "I am confident this issue will not fall victim to the usual partisan deadlock."
Support for the bill is already being put to the test as conservatives grow more vocal in opposition. Two Republican senators held a dueling news conference with law enforcement officials to bash the bill's security provisions, and several conservative bloggers seized on one provision of the legislation to falsely claim that it would allow people here illegally to get free cellphones.
The 844-page bill is designed to secure the border, allow tens of thousands of new high- and low-skilled workers into the country while requiring employers to verify their legal status, and put 11 million people here illegally on a path to citizenship, as long as certain border security goals are met first.
"Yes, we offer a path to citizenship to people who didn't come here legally," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., anticipating opposition to that provision. "They're here, and realistically there is nothing we can do to induce them all to return to their countries of origin."
In addition to Graham, Schumer and McCain, the members of the so-called Gang of Eight are Democrats Dick Durbin of Illinois, Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Michael Bennet of Colorado, and Republicans Marco Rubio of Florida and Jeff Flake of Arizona.
The bill will get its first hearing today before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Standing behind the senators was a who's-who of Washington conservative and liberal leaders, representatives from religious groups, Latino activist organizations and others.
Before the senators came to the podium, anti-tax activist Grover Norquist shook hands with AFL-CIO leader Richard Trumka, then exchanged pleasantries with Neera Tanden, head of the liberal Center for American Progress. They were joined by Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, Bruce Josten of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Clarissa Martinez of the National Council of La Raza and others, around two dozen all together.
Many of the advocates and senators present were veterans of past failed efforts at reform, most notably in 2007, when legislation pushed by then-President George W. Bush collapsed on the Senate floor amid a ferocious public backlash and interest-group opposition.
Asked why an immigration overhaul would succeed this time, McCain turned and pointed to the advocates arrayed behind him.
"This is a coalition. I never thought I'd be standing with Richard Trumka," McCain said. "This is why we will succeed."
The alliances the senators painstakingly knit together is one difference this time, but the political climate is better too. President Barack Obama's resounding victory among Latino voters in 2012 demonstrated to McCain and other Republicans the urgency for the GOP to act on the immigration issue. Polls also show majority public support for a path to citizenship for those here illegally.
But in some corners opposition remains strong. Republican Sens. Jeff Sessions of Alabama and David Vitter of Louisiana, along with several law enforcement officials, held a news conference at almost the same time as the Gang of Eight members to dismiss their claims of improved border enforcement and security.
"Like 2007, this bill is amnesty before enforcement," Sessions said. "The day the bill passes, illegal immigrants will have the presumption of amnesty and all (Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano) has to do is submit a vague plan in six months that may never get implemented."
Meanwhile Rubio, a tea party favorite who's working to sell the bill to conservatives, was playing offense against criticism of the bill. One claim circulating on conservative blogs was that immigrants here illegally could get free cellphones — being derided as "MarcoPhones." In fact, the provision in question could allow U.S. citizens in border regions without cell coverage to get emergency communications grants that could be used for satellite phones to call 911 to report border violence or crossings.
Rubio's office unveiled an "Immigration Reform Facts" website with a "myth-busting" section, and Rubio continued a talk-radio offensive aimed at trying to mute opposition from conservative radio hosts who helped contribute to the bill's defeat in 2007.
He got a mixed reception Thursday from Rush Limbaugh, who praised Rubio as a "genuine conservative" but went on to say, "The bill itself, however, I'm never going to understand. ... I've never agreed with Chuck Schumer on anything. Why should I on this?"
The senators' news conference had at times a congratulatory feel. At the same time they all acknowledged that an even tougher climb was ahead as the bill makes its way through the Judiciary Committee and then to the Senate floor, with an even more uncertain reception waiting in the conservative-controlled House.

SIXERS tonihgt....lost on a rare offensive rebound off a FT in the final 3 seconds, lost by half a point
forgot to say sixers were up 85-77 and didnt score on 11 straight possesions before the real bs happened. Unbelievable
UTAH/DALLAS tonight: Mavs -7.5
Utah is given no chance, and the radio caller for the JAZZ even states "the game is now over"...at the 2:00 min mark...of the THIRD QUARTER.
Mavs HAD a 23-point lead in the 4th. Jazz make TWO late 3's with less than 15 seconds in the game (:14, :10) to COVER. The final score-- 102-96
and just to add insult to injury: the same radio caller (mentioned above) spends the last minute plus of the game talking about the movie DUMB&DUMBER... "SOO...you're saying there's still a chance??" Hilarious, I hope someone else out there caught this
Last night, Clippers at Twolves. I have T-wolves -2 for the game.
Twolves up 95-90, they have possesion, 30 seconds left.
-martell webster turnover + foul
- CP3 hits 2 freethrows, 95-92 for twolves
- twolves have the ball, clips don't foul, twolves drain the clock and miss a shot. 5 seconds left, clips time-out, inbounding at half court
- inbounds pass to CP3, takes a three and misses, but is fouled by deriick williams. CP3 makes 2 of 3, rubio rebound on last miss, he is fouled with 2 seconds left. 95-94 twolves
- Rubio misses both free throws, game over, Twolves fail to cover spread of -2!!!
biggest NBA kick in the balls of the season in my opinion. 6 things had to happen for the twolves up by 5 with 30 seconds left and possesion to win the game in regulation by only 1 point, and all 6 things happened.
WAS the Hornets vs Lakers other night whata horrible loss geting 4.5 points winning by 17 at half up 15 sceomd half lose it in OT by 6 points that was a miracle Hornets meltdown !
never figured Lakers on B 2 b off a double OT game to even come close to covering the small spread !

I'm linking up with Neely and Amber this week for "It's OK" Thursday! I felt like I needed a venting and justifying sessions, so let's begin...
It's OK...
...to wish you could pause time.
...to need a break from life after piling your plate so full that you burn out.
...to try to keep the house tidy, but let the couch win.
...to have three lists going right now that are overwhelming me:
25 Before 25, Writing Goals, 2012 Goals.
...to be really excited about having tomorrow off!
...to not be sure of what and how to pack for my very short trip. A girl needs options!
...to be super pumped up that I'm finally meeting Christin in real life!
...to be both nervous and excited about Saturday's race. Yes, I'm nervous even though I'm completely prepared for the run!
...to already be sad that I won't get to come home to M on Saturday night.
What are you saying it's ok to today? Happy almost Friday, friends!

After she revealed she underwent a preventative double mastectomy, Angelina Jolie's family members are voicing their support.
"We're so very proud of Angie, this means so much to our family especially our grandchildren. We love her dearly," Brad Pitt's mother, Jane Pitt, says in a statement.
Jolie's brother, James Haven, also spoke out about her decision to undergo the procedure.
"My sister like our mother always put her children first," he says in a statement. "I am so grateful to be her brother."
In a New York Times op-ed piece, Jolie describes her difficult choice to have surgery after genetic tests showed her to have a high risk of developing the disease. Her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer at 56 in 2007.
Jolie, 37, also expressed how much she leaned on Pitt, 49, whom she described as "loving and supportive," and there for her "for every minute of the surgeries."
Pitt released a statement of his own on Tuesday, saying, "Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as many others like her, absolutely heroic. I thank our medical team for their care and focus."

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Dr. Bradley Watson, chairperson and professor of politics and the Philip M. McKenna Chair of American and Western Political Thought at Saint Vincent College, was presented with the Thoburn Excellence in Teaching Award at the annual Founders' Day Honors Convocation in the Basilica on November 17 in recognition of his excellence in teaching, dedicated service to students and his commitment to the Benedictine values of Saint Vincent College. The Thoburn Excellence in Teaching Award is made possible by a gift from the late Thomas W. Thoburn, Jr. and Tina Thoburn, D.Ed., educators and philanthropists. Nominations for this award are made by Saint Vincent College alumni in their sixth year after graduation. Alumni are invited to name one member of the faculty who has made a significant impact on them through their teaching and personal interactions. Dr. Watson earned a bachelor of arts degree from the University of British Columbia, a juris doctorate from Queen's University Faculty of Law, a master of arts degree from Claremont Graduate University, a master of philosophy from the Institute of Philosophy, Catholic University of Louvain, and his Ph.D. from Claremont University. Dr. Watson has taught at Saint Vincent College for twelve years. Dr. Watson has an exceptional record of scholarship. He is the author of several books and dozens of articles for both scholarly journals and the mass media. He is a leader among the faculty, serving on the rank and tenure committee and chairing the Politics Department. "We recognized Dr. Watson for the profound impact he has on his students," commented Dr. John Smetanka, vice president for academic affairs and academic dean. "He is committed to providing the best educational experience possible. Dr. Watson insists that students not only read but truly engage the essential ideas and the Great Books that provide the foundation of our culture and our nation." In one of his nominations a recent alumna stated: "through wit, creativity, and a fantastic presence in the classroom [Dr. Watson] makes his students passionate about political philosophy." Another alumna stated: "Dr. Watson embodies the Benedictine, Catholic tradition and the motto of the College – knowledge vindicates truth and justice -- . . .". Another former student wrote, ". . . well beyond teaching me what Thomas Jefferson wrote in some obscure pamphlet, Dr. Watson gave me the skills and instilled the passion to seek truth everywhere."

Bills search for progress; Steelers looking to win
PITTSBURGH -- Mike Williams spent two hours hauling in strike after strike from Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel during practice on Thursday when the wide receiver decided it was time for a proclamation.
"I told EJ, to be honest my exact words were 'This is the best I've ever seen,' " Williams said. "I don't think he threw an incomplete pass."
That's stretching it a bit -- a handful of passes hit the turf during a joint workout with the Pittsburgh Steelers -- but for a second-year starter still learning on the job, playing well against one of the NFL's better defenses is a start.
"We do not want to consider this like, 'Oh man this was a great day,' " Manuel said. "This needs to be a consistent thing. It needs to be like that every day."
Particularly on game days.
And while Manuel and the Bills were encouraged by the way they hung with the Steelers, it matters little if they can't translate that into success when they play in a preseason game at Heinz Field tonight.
"I thought we did a pretty good job throwing the ball last time we played in a game," Manuel said. "So we want to continue to carry that over."
While it's just the preseason, Pittsburgh (0-1) is searching for something to build on. The Steelers haven't won an exhibition game in nearly two years, going 0-4 last August in what turned out to be a precursor for a miserable 2-6 start when the games started to count.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has praised his young group for a promising two-plus weeks at Saint Vincent College, where he believes the good days outnumbered the bad by a large margin.
"For me the biggest thing is mistakes have gotten cut down, whether it's rookie mistakes, veteran mistakes, myself," Roethlisberger said. "Less mistakes usually means you are understanding things, you are in the book, you are studying, which leads to better production."
He should get an extended look at what he's working with tonight after leading the first string to a field goal in one series of action in last week's opening loss to the New York Giants. Running backs Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount will get "their share" of carries, according to coach Mike Tomlin.
"We have a great deal of confidence in both guys," Tomlin said. "Both guys are going to be central reasons why we're successful. That's the plan and I think they're open to that."
Pittsburgh is also optimistic it will get a chance to see rookie linebacker Ryan Shazier on the field for the first time in a game. The first-round pick sat out the Giants game with a right knee issue that Tomlin called a "boo boo," but looked just as quick as advertised after returning to full practice on Thursday.
Whoever is on the field with the defensive starters will try to take a step forward after a so-so performance against New York when the first string allowed Giants running back Rashad Jennings to rip off a 73-yard touchdown run up the middle.
Defensive lineman Cam Heyward took most of the blame for being out of position, but he's hardly the only one culpable after the other 10 guys failed to get more than an outstretched hand on Jennings.
"I like how physical we are," safety Mike Mitchell said. "There's definitely some things we have to improve upon. As every other team in the NFL does right now. No one's a finished product. We're still growing and developing every single day."

Big Miracle: The Whales Start Their Jo
- Air Date:
- Inspired by the true story that captured the hearts of people across the world, the rescue adventure Big Miracle tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can't wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she's also his ex-girlfriend. With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world's attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.

Fun & Durable Set For Our Little Campers
By Kari @ Mommy's Fabulous Finds
from Massachusetts
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
Both my boys love the outdoors, and pretending to camp, hunt, fish. This set comes with everything the boys need for an wilderness adventure. As soon as my sons (2 1/2 & 4) saw this camping set they started asking me to set up their tent so they could camp out and use their new camping gear. The pretend stove and lantern both light up, a favorite of the boys. Since it's winter and it's too cold outside they love to walk around the house in the dark and explore the "woods" trying to find fish and deer. Last night we had fish for dinner that my 2 year old had cooked up on his pretend stove & utensils. The boys love their camping set and so do I. It is durable set that inspires hands on imaginative play. Just like our two other Pretend & Play products, we are highly impressed and look forward to playtime that is not only fun, but educational.

The new Volvo FH series
The new Volvo FMX
The new Volvo FM
The new Volvo FE
The new Volvo FL
A Volvo truck might be power, performance and excellent technology – but first and foremost we pride ourselves with our safety thinking.
In a Volvo Trucks cab, the driver comes first. The Volvo FL cab is no exception. With excellent in-cab safety measures such as the integrated seatbelts and anchored seats and with superior visibility, you'll always have full control and feel truly safe behind the wheel.
Learn more about all the Volvo FL cabs
The seats in the Volvo FL cab are safely anchored to the floor, and the anchoring has been specially reinforced in order to provide maximum safety. In fact the entire FL cab has been reinforced with as much as 31 kilos of extra steel to protect you in the event of an accident. And naturally the cab has passed all Volvo's collision, barrier and crash tests.
At Volvo we have developed the FUP and RUP systems to keep your fellow road users safe. Front and rear under-run protection prevents smaller vehicles from becoming wedged under the truck in the case of a collision.
The Volvo FL features seatbelts that have been integrated into the seats to provide an extra safety measure. The seatbelts are meticulously tested and have an excellent impact resistance. The seatbelts can be specified in red colour in order for passers-by to see that they are in use.
The cab's seats feature integrated headrests, thus adding to the safety of the driver in the event of an accident. Moreover the entire dashboard, the steering wheel and the controls are free from any sharp edges that could cause damage should a collision happen. All carefully tested, among other things through the Volvo head impact test.
To minimise the risks of the crowded inner city environment, the Volvo FL is equipped with a large windshield – with tinted protection as an option. With electrically or manually controlled, optionally heated exterior mirrors you will be in complete control of what you see.
Extra windows in the doors and side panels are also available, particularly helpful when driving in confined spaces, while a rear-view window lets you keep an eye on your precious cargo.
The front three-piece bumper has been equipped with steel corners with good impact resistance resulting in a reduced risk for damages that otherwise might end up being unwelcome costs.
As the bumper consists of three pieces, there's a good chance just one of the pieces sustains damage if a small accident happens. In that case, you'll only have to exchange that single piece, thus lowering your repair costs.
Naturally your Volvo FL can be equipped with a comprehensive, remote-controlled alarm system that will deter thieves and prevent theft. The alarm is easily activated and is triggered should anyone try to open the doors, try to tip the cab or tamper with the battery.

Al Scibetta has a clear view of Ellicott Street from his office at the front of Copier Fax Business Technologies.
Having his business downtown matters to him.
"This might be just me, but I believe when you're located in the central business district of a city, it denotes strength, it denotes your commitment to the region," said Scibetta, company president.
Scibetta has also developed a clear view of his industry - and how to stay current within it - from his decades of experience, including at the company he started in 1990. Earlier this year, he and Copier Fax Business Technologies were honored with the 2011 Konica Minolta Dealer Award of Excellence, the only dealer among hundreds in the country to receive the recognition.
Scibetta was thrilled and utterly surprised to win the dealer award: he attended the dealer meeting in Las Vegas without knowing he had won. The honor is based on a dealer's financial performance, charitable activities and efforts to build long-term relationships with his employees. A top Konica Minolta executive, Alan Nielsen, shook his hand and told him, "The vote was unanimous."
Scibetta has seen plenty of changes in technology and competitors since getting into the industry in 1973. He became a Konica dealer in 1990 (Konica merged with Minolta in 2003), and has been a single-line dealer ever since, going up against the likes of Xerox and Ricoh.
Copier Fax Business Technologies operates with 26 employees and projects revenues of $5.4 million this year. The downtown space, which he leases from Rocco Termini, contains offices, a showroom and warehouse space.
Scibetta said his business has endured by remaining consistent in some ways and by adapting to the times in others.
One constant is his service manager, Jim Bodie, who has been with the business for 20 years. Some of his engineers have been with him for a decade or more.
"We try to pick talent right the first time around and then give them a place to hang their hat for as long as they want to be here," Scibetta said. "That helps in business, in my opinion, because you're not facing that costly turnover. And turnover costs a lot of money."
He also sees value in his company's steady relationship with Konica Minolta. "Our salespeople don't have to go out and tell a client to buy this model today or that model tomorrow based on the best deals they're getting from a manufacturer. We deal with one line.
"It also means our technicians only have to learn one product, so they can become real good at it. And our clients, there's stability in that. If they like the Konica Minoltas they've got from us, that's what they're going to get the next time. It also makes us earn our keep and do a good job, because if they don't like the Konica Minolta, we don't have anywhere to turn," he said.
(His business also works with Muratec, but he says that company's product line complements, rather than competes with, Konica Minolta's.)
Copier Fax Business Technologies' showroom is filled with the latest models of office equipment. The vast majority of his customers lease rather than buy. But Scibetta is quick to assert his business goes far beyond machines. "We like to say we're more than a copier company; we're a solutions partner to our end user."
One area that has fueled the business' growth is professional services, such as helping a client manage its network. "If they have three servers and 50 desktops, we can help them manage that network for up-to-date software, for viruses, for controlling spam, for launching new print drivers as they become available, everything that a company that does not have its own IT department could rely upon," he said.
The business has also grown through what Konica Minolta calls Optimized Print Services. It involves tracking a client's needs for toner and service, and keeping tabs on devices the client uses for printing, to help keep costs down.
He said many companies have embraced the practice of sharing or saving documents electronically, rather than printing or faxing everything, and copier companies have to adjust.
"For the companies that have decided to put blinders on and continue to be copier companies, the end is near," he said. "For the companies that have embraced the technology that's available and have launched a professional services initiative, a document management initiative, helping the client with all those printers that they've got out there, and go beyond selling copiers, the future's very, very bright,"
Scibetta gives credit to his son, David, the chief information officer whom he calls a "technology master."
"He understands how to pull it all together and make it happen for a client. And quite frankly, that's where a lot of those companies that haven't made the jump, the reason they haven't is they don't have somebody on the inside who can do that for them," he said.
Scibetta expects the "next big thing" for his company will be "backscanning": scanning old documents for clients, to store them electronically in a secure location.
The company's growth over the past three years far exceeded expectations, he said. "We're now convinced more than ever that based on our growth, by expanding our footprint, that we can significantly grow further than what we're at right now."

New Family-Friendly Recipes
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
A series of new beef recipes have been developed by the beef checkoff to satisfy the needs of busy parents. Four-Way Slow Cooker Shredded Beef comes together easily and includes four meal variations. Meanwhile, One-Dish Beef Stroganoff, Aloha Beef Sliders and Korean Beef Skillet can be made in about 30 minutes with family friendly lean ground beef. Finally, Five-Way Mini Meatloaves capitalize on ethnic flavors and perfectly portioned servings.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Defense was really great tonight. All we lacked was any kind of sustained offensive pressure. We were constantly pushed back, too tired to attack, made it a constant barrage against our D, which survived in a great way.
Howard was really good, but imo this was just as much the defense making him look good. He had some questionable rebounds that we cleared, we managed to get sticks on Hawks players that would have had almost open nets, we didn't screen or let anyone else screen Howard, etc.
This is directed at you, but it is funny that we give up a bunch of goals, it is Howards fault. When we play well on D, it is because of the guys in front of him.

Windows 8 Beats Windows 7, Sets New Sales Record
Jason Mick
November 28, 2012 12:29 PM
comment(s) - last by
Dec 7
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Windows 8 is the next Windows ME? The sales numbers suggest that accusation is malarkey
Windows 8 was an incredibly bold redesign on the part on Microsoft Corp. (
). The move to a more
graphically rich
operating system certainly seemed to mirror the general direction of the device market, but that did not shield Microsoft from loads of criticism. Many wondered whether it
went too far with the graphical gloss
, whether it was
disrespecting developers
with its shift to a walled-garden "Windows Store" app distribution model, and whether it was
forsaking traditional desktop power users
I. Windows 8 Upgrade Sales: Very Strong
But the proof is in the sales, and Microsoft announced today that for all the haters, Windows 8 appears to be doing great.
In its
first month of sales
Windows 8 has moved 40 million licenses, according to Microsoft. The company announced the news in
a blog post
and at a conference presentation. It also points out that buoyed by
reduced upgrade fees
, the Windows 8 upgrade rate is outpacing that of Windows 7, the
previous sales record-holder
our own polling
shows that the majority of users are upgrading to Windows 8, although there are certainly many holdouts bitter about the changes.
While some upgrades have been via disc, the new OS has largely been digitially distributed.
[Image Source: The Verge]
Windows 8 is the first Microsoft OS to transition to a
primarily online distribution
. That shift has not seemed to adversely impact sales. It appears Microsoft timed its transition to disc-less media correctly.
II. The Road Ahead
Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc also brags that
its Windows Store
is thriving, writing:
There were more apps in the Windows Store at launch than any other app store at their launch and since then, the number of apps in the Windows Store has doubled. A number of apps in the Windows Store have crossed the $25,000 revenue mark and the developer keeps 80% of the revenue they make off downloads for the life of their app. A lot of great new apps have been added to the Windows Store since launch such as CBS, ABC News, ABC Family, Engadget, Flixster, OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), Vimeo and my (current) personal favorite - Top Gear.
A strong app market is good news for Microsoft. While it offers a more favorable revenue split than other players like Apple, Inc. (
) or Google Inc. (
) (with developers keeping 80 percent of the revenue), Microsoft still is closing the loop to include itself in Windows software sales profits.
In the past, Windows Certification processes offered up small cuts to Microsoft, but software publishers largely pocketed these profits. Now Microsoft has cut out the middle man by playing super-publisher with Windows 8, the same move Google and Apple have made with their mobile and personal computer platforms (although Google does allow unofficial third party channels).
Microsoft needed a bold reinvention in the mobile direction to keep up with market trends.
[Image Source: Bloomberg]
Looking ahead, Microsoft has a lot of unanswered questions -- most notably on the leadership front. Windows 8 was
the baby
departed Windows President Steven Sinofsky
. His shoes are currently being filled by former CFO and CMO Tami Reller on the business/marketing front and by Internet Explorer, Office and Windows interface veteran Julie Larson-Green on the software/hardware development front.
And the deep divisions between those who love Windows 8 and those who hate it, could hint that sales may dip to a slower pace than Windows 7 after the fans have completed their upgrades.
But, given the already modest success, and given the life-or-death need for Microsoft to have a cohesive, touch-friendly mobile platform, it appears overall Microsoft made the right choice. Windows 8 isn't perfect, certainly and as they say, haters are going to hate. And that is certainly true of Windows 8. But it's better to be hated for innovation than panned for lack thereof.

The real problem in topics such as this:
I think the real problem in subjects such as this is people who feel the need to force their views on others. It's an immature, self-centered thought process that invades politics and just about every other aspect of life. Self-centered people don't like others to have the ability to make their own decisions. They think that what they believe should be adopted by everyone. In politics you see this every day:
People may not like guns or have any use for guns so they don't want anyone else to own them either.
They might be straight and not have any desire to marry someone of the same sex so they feel the need to block the ability of gay people to get married.
They might drive a pickup truck or a hybrid and have no desire to own another type. Therefore they support legislation that limits ownership or development of other types of cars that they feel are unnecessary. "Sports cars/Pickup trucks just waste gas and should be banned"
On the other hand you have people who support freedom of choice, even if other people's choices are different.
You have pro-gun people who think that people should be allowed to own guns if they wish. They also think that if people don't want to own guns they shouldn't have to.
You have open-minded people that support gay marriage. It might not be their thing and be of no benefit to them but they support the ability of gay people to get married.
You have people who may be a fan of one particular type of car (such as electric cars, sports cars, or pickup trucks) that support the ability of people to choose what kind of car to drive.
In this current debate you have people trying to defend the act of forcing people to use certain customizations in an OS. They say that they like it so others should just get used to it. They'll usually claim that their preference is "progress" and that everyone who doesn't agree is a luddite. They might like the Start Screen so they feel that everyone should be forced to adopt it. They might like the Metro UI so they feel that everyone should have to use it and there should be no way around it. This is a strange belief, since Windows has always been customizable. If you wanted to use the Classic Interface instead of the Windows XP/Vista native interface you could choose it.
I'm a person who believes in choice and I'll go out of my way to defend your ability to have a choice even if your taste is different than mine. I'm not arguing that Microsoft should do away with the Start screen, I think that you should be able to choose either. In fact I really don't care how you customize your computer- it's your computer! But to see the self-centered mentality that some people exhibit is just depressing.

Five things to look for as Penn State looks to rebound from last week's loss to Central Florida and regain some confidence heading into a bye week.
No. 1: Don't overanalyze
Let's be honest here, these are really the five reasons Penn State will win:
1. It's Kent State
2. It's not Central Florida
3. Blake Bortles isn't the opposing quarterback
4. UCF's receivers aren't playing
5. The Nittany Lions will tackle these guys
Central Florida was better than everyone who follows Penn State realized.
Kent State is probably worse.
That is all.
But, since this is the five keys story ...
No. 2: Start fast
Penn State's offense has to score touchdowns early against a poor Kent State defense, setting the tone from the outset rather than letting the underdog hang around and think it has a chance. If Kent State keeps things close into the third quarter, then the Lions actually do have bigger problems than many people realize.
Look for Christian Hackenberg to come out firing and have a big day through the air. The offense needs a big day, needs to solve its third-down issues and needs to work out any other kinks because the next game at Indiana could be a wild shootout.
No. 3: Tackle
This one doesn't need any explanation after last week's poor performance.
No. 4: KSU limited
The Golden Flashes are expected to be without their best offensive player, running back Dri Archer, a speedy and multi-talented threat who probably would give PSU's defense trouble.
Archer has an ankle injury, and without him, Kent State's offense will depend very heavily on the throwing and running skills of quarterback Colin Reardon. Running back Trayion Durham could pose some problems, but only if PSU's tackling efforts don't improve.
No. 5: Player to watch
There are any number of offensive players to choose from, but the big thing to look for today will be defensive improvement from Penn State.
Given that, keep an eye on defensive end Deion Barnes and on cornerbacks Jordan Lucas and Trevor Williams. The Lions will need those three to play well in the Big Ten, and they can use a strong showing today after struggling last week.
Prediction: Penn State 40, Kent State 13

on December 7, 2012 - 11:50 PM
NORTH TONAWANDA – The Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus embarked on its 10th Christmas season Friday night with a program that mixed a bit of solemnity with a bit of play – although, to be truthful, the later half of the formula was more in evidence than the former, especially in the second half.
It all took place in the Riviera Theatre, a marvelously refurbished old moviehouse with a magnificent Wurlitzer organ that rises up from the "pit" and, with the right hands playing the keys and pulling the stops, delivers an amazing sound.
Before the chorus walked onto the stage and while the audience was milling around in a preconcert scrum of conversation, an organist kept filling the air with a medley of Christmas tunes, setting the stage for what was to come. When the appointed hour drew nigh, the mighty Wurlitzer slowly began its descent back into the pit from which it had risen as the strains of "Jingle Bells" floated into the air.
Then, the singers came from behind the curtains and down the aisles to fill the stage. The accompanists (piano, bass, and percussion) were already in their places and, after a few opening statements from chorus officials, the chorus went right into, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year."
Much of the program was devoted to standards like the opener and tunes including "Carol of the Bells," "The Christmas Song" and "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" But there was enough unusual material to pique the interest. Hanukkah was given a few licks ("Judah and the Maccabees," with a great solo from Scott Nykiel) but so, too, were Kwanzaa (a well-meaning take on "Kwanzaa Spirit") and a novelty item with echoes of Hawaii, "Mele Kalikimaka."
The chorus alternated a raucous "The Twelve Days of Christmas," which featured an audience participation routine that cajoles the audience into illustrating the various gifts per day in sequence. The folks on the "12th day" had it easy. Then came a less strenuous, albeit twisted, rendition of "The Twelve Days After Christmas," with lyrics that described the mayhem that could be inflicted with each of those "gifts."
During the second half of the evening the formal coats worn by the ensemble were doffed, and the men went for the slightly more casual look – except for Ciaran Krueger, the company's artistic director/conductor, who came onstage in a red zoot suit with pegged cuffs, a green shirt and a sharp chapeau. The band was increased in size, with two trumpets, a tenor sax, and a trombone added to the piano trio. This revamped group helped give a jazz inflection to the balance of the evening.
All of this will be seen again in different venues tonight and Sunday afternoon, when the Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus takes its show on the road. While the introductory passages from the mighty Wurlitzer will be missed, the rest of the production will more than make up for the loss.

"When I first heard the story I was devastated," Ling, whose TV-reporter sister Laura Ling was held captive for five months in a North Korean prison in 2009, said on Wednesday's The Wendy Williams Show. "I have never met her, but she does incredible work and I wish her and her family well and hope that she comes back strong because her work is really unique. She's a very courageous woman and I wish her well."
Referencing her sister's experience, Ling said journalists generally understand the dangers they face – but sometimes, the unexpected happens.
"I don't think people recognize the risks that some journalists take, we all take security precautions very seriously but sometimes when you're out there you just don't know what could happen," Ling said. "There are so many unanticipated things that may come up. But I think it's so important for us to support our journalists because we don't want to remain an ignorant society and it takes courageous journalists to go out there."

Where in the World is Tiny House Giant Journey?
As some of you may know, Guillaume and I have been building a modified Cypress since last September. The build experience has been more of a marathon than a sprint, but I can finally say we are on our last lap! Here's the interior as it stands now - with an unfinished bathroom, kitchen, etc.
As we prepare to cross the finish line, we decided to move our tiny house from Los Angeles to my home town in central Illinois. It's going to be an exciting summer spent building and catching up with family and old friends!
Guillaume and I were nervous to tow the house, but also eager to become comfortable with taking it on long road trips. We drove slow, bumping down the interstate at 45 mph and traveling only 250-300 miles a day. We could have easily gone 65 mph, but at 45 mph we were getting just over 10 miles per gallon (at 55 mph we were getting 8.5 mpg, etc). Going slow saved us approximately $150 in gas over the course of the trip. Ultimately it took us about a week to cross the 2,000 miles, but we did it without incident!
Interstates are required to have at least 14 feet of vertical clearance, which is necessary for our 13' 4" house. For our trek, we stayed mostly on I-40, traveling through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. Once we hit Oklahoma City, we turned north east onto I-44 toward St. Louis and onward to my small hometown in central Illinois.
Here are a few highlights of "Tiny House Giant Journey's" trip:
THGJ @ Painted Desert
THGJ @ Petrified Forest
THGJ @ "Breaking Bad "House in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Moments after taking the above photo, that ominous sky began to alternate between hail and rain! It was the first substantial bath our tiny California abode ever received. We were worried how the reclaimed wood would hold up, but it dried out just fine. Although the back of the house (front of the trailer) tolerated the unintended power-wash from us driving down the road during the downpour, the vigorous shower did remove some of our beloved patina. Next time, we will pull over and wait out the storm.
New Mexico is also home to a quirky campground that we stumbled upon - Kiva RV Park, right on Route 66. Check out the tiny trailers built by the owner!

THGJ @ Cadillac Ranch in Texas
The horse towing our precious wagon was our 2006 Ford F-250 Diesel 4x4. The last time we weighed our house it was creeping up on 8,000 pounds, and that was without our belongings! Luckily we built on a Tumbleweed trailer, so we knew we were within the weight limit and that our axels were specifically designed to handle towing. That being said, we still made sure to evenly pack and disperse our belongings inside the house for travel. We also bought a no sway weight distribution system from Andersen Hitches - which was extremely helpful. We highly recommend it!
Our Weight Distribution System
We had no trouble finding places to stay along the trip. Every campground was excited to welcome our curious cabin. Setting up was easy with pull-through campsites with electric and water hookups. The scissor jacks on the trailer supplied us with stability, and we leveled-out easily using a camper leveler, tuff pads, and rapid jack. By the end of the trip, we could setup or teardown in less than 15 minutes!
Guillaume & Our Dog Relaxing in THGJ's Almost Finished Loft
It was a lot of fun to see people react to our home. On the road, travelers would often give us a thumbs-up or snap photos. Many times we answered questions and gave impromptu tours. Only once were we pulled over by a police officer - for going 43 mph in a 45 minimum - did I mention we were being cautious? The officer gave us a verbal warning mixed with praise for the tiny house. Secretly, we think he just wanted a closer look!
When we finally pulled into our new build site, it was bitter-sweet. We loved our mini-adventure and can't wait to continue traveling when our house is complete. I think we caught the tiny-traveling-fever!
Jenna Spesard is a writer by trade. She is currently building a Tumbleweed Cypress with her partner, Guillaume, who is a professional photographer and Tumbleweed Workshop Host. After the build is complete, they plan to travel around North America in their tiny house blogging and photographing their adventure. More on their tiny house and giant journey here.

Usually involves a rude customer at a fast food resturant who then requires that the short order cook reach into his pants and remove a handful of black curleys in order to "pepper" the food item.

Great looks, all the right moves, and he's still insecure?
Gilles Marini, a fan favorite and likely finalist on Dancing with the Stars, tells PEOPLE that he was so sure he'd be eliminated after Monday night's show that he needed to fortify himself.
"I opened a $400 bottle of wine," the handsome French-American actor, 36, said on Wednesday. "I didn't even pour it in a glass. I drank it right from the bottle!"
Marini danced an intense tango on Monday's show, and while his scores were good, he says, "I wanted to do more, do better. I wanted to excel."
The judges found him and partner Peta Murgatroy a bit rushed, and Marini found it hard to object. "I always agree with them," he says.
Anxieties aside, Gilles is fully enjoying the DWTS experience this season, after having previously competed on the show in 2009.
"The first time I felt a little bit more like a puppet," he says, "but now I have to bring the acting, the choreography ... creatively speaking, I have a lot more input."
And he's making new friends in the process.
Asked if he has discussed November's election with Bristol Palin (Marini recently received his U.S. Citizenship), he said, "No, but I have to tell you something ... I shattered my hamstring, and of the entire cast [besides Peta], the only person that came to me and asked how I was doing and said she was praying for me was Bristol."

LOCKPORT – The Niagara County Legislature last week endorsed a $25 million enlargement of the library and some classrooms at Niagara County Community College.
The resolution committed the county to providing $12.5 million in support for the project – sort of.
NCCC President James P. Klyczek said the money doesn't have to come from the county treasury. The college is free to try to raise the funds wherever it can, as it successfully did for NCCC's culinary arts institute in downtown Niagara Falls.
He said the college already is in touch with the Oishei and Statler foundations and may seek funding through the state's Regional Economic Development Council.
The resolution does not actually commit the county to constructing the Learning Commons project, as it's known.
But it did enable Klyczek to meet a deadline to get the project before the State University of New York system for inclusion in SUNY's 2013 funding request to the State Legislature.
"It's like a place-holder," said County Manager Jeffrey M. Glatz, who did not include anything for the NCCC project in the 2013 county budget.
SUNY would provide half of the cost if the project is built, but its $12.5 million would sit in Albany until the county provides its share.
Klyczek said the commercial and economic development aspects of the culinary institute made it easier to find outside money.
"It's been made very clear to [Klyczek], we expect him to do what he did with the culinary institute, not Empire State Development [money] but foundations," said Legislature Chairman William L. Ross, C-Wheatfield, a member of the NCCC board of trustees.
Klyczek said that with low interest rates for borrowing, "I don't think building it will ever be more affordable." The Learning Commons plan has been on NCCC's radar screen for several years. It entails connecting the library to Building E by building over the courtyard that currently separates the two buildings.
"The phrase implies the library's walls have opened up, instead of just being a place to study where people say 'shush,' " Klyczek said.
"There have been presentations, feasibility studies, and then it was put on the back burner because the culinary institute was front and center," Ross said. Only half of the price tag covers new construction.
The library needs work anyway, Klyczek said. Stone is falling off the walls of the 40-year-old building, and 20 feet of decking closest to the library have been cordoned off for safety reasons.
The project also includes the enlargement of 12 classrooms in Building E to permit larger class sizes, which would be "more efficient," Klyczek said.
The average class size at NCCC is 23 students, Klyczek said. An arbitrator ruled this year, in the face of a protest from the NCCC Faculty Association, that there is no upper limit to class sizes at the college.
Klyczek said it will take 24 to 30 months to construct the Learning Commons once the money is in hand.

INWOOD - Cast members from Musselman High School Theatre Department's upcoming production of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" promises that whether audience members are familiar with Shakespeare's work or not, they will experience something different through this interpretation.
"It will be very, very impressive. There are a lot of awesome effects in place and we have an amazing set built. It's a show that starts with the energy very, very high and ends with the energy even higher," said senior Nick Tabidze, who plays the fairy Puck.
Musselman's Theater Department will perform "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are also being sold for $15 for a special dinner show at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday only. Tickets for the dinner show must be purchased in advance. All tickets can be purchased by calling 304-229-1900.

The Musselman High School Theatre Department is set to present William Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Nights Dream.' Eric Nauman, who plays Bottom, is surrounded by fairies, Mary Pennington, left, who plays Mustardseed; Elizabeth Clever, who plays Peaseblossom; Tessa Congo, who plays Moth; Emily Neely, who plays Queen Titania; Nikki Kehl, playing attendant for Titania; and Allison Shepherd, who plays Cobweb.
Mikayla O'Neill, who plays Moonshine, reacts to the death of Chris Palmer, who plays Thisbe.
Nick Tabidze, left, plays Puck and Chad Grubb plays Oberon in 'A Midsummer Nights Dream.'
Anthony Hensley, left, plays Egeus, Kaity Marks is an attendant, Elizabeth Boycan plays Hippolyta and James Wright plays Theseus.
Michael Blatzer, left, plays Lysander, Giulianna Marchese plays Helena and Adam Perry plays Demetrius in Musselman High School Theatre Department's production of 'A Midsummer Nights Dream.'
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" centers on the interactions of four young lovers, a group of amateur actors and the mischievous doings of fairies within a forest outside of Athens.
"It's a love story and then the fairies get involved," said director Frederich Herlinger with a laugh.
While the cast's dialogue is spoken in traditional Shakespearean language, Herlinger said that factor should not discourage or intimidate audience members unfamiliar with the story.
Fact Box
What: 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
When: 7 p.m. Friday, 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday
Where: Musselman High School Theatre
Cost: $8 for adults, $5 for children and seniors, $15 for 5:30 p.m. dinner show
"The language is not important to understand with this show - it helps - but you just watch it. You're not suppose to teach Shakespeare, you're not suppose to read Shakespeare, you go to watch a play," Herlinger said.
For many of the actors, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was their first introduction to acting or reading Shakespeare. Sophomore Ashley Smrcima, who plays the character "Hermia," said that before the play she was "iffy" about Shakespeare but now loves his work.
The director credits the cast's professionalism as one of the main reasons the play is a success.
"They started off not afraid of Shakespeare but wondering. They've worked hard and have really come along. They really don't have those weird boundaries you associate with immaturity, so the cast is really strong," Herlinger said.
Actor or audience, Tabidze said the Theatre Department's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a great introduction or continuation of Shakespeare's work and an overall great play.
"The ending is fantastic and the audience will always be on the edge of their seats, waiting for the next scene to happen, watching and just being completely interested the entire time," Tabidze said.
