ASUS' forthcoming enthusiast mainboard called the P5E3
Deluxe has all sorts of features that you'd expect to find on a high-end
mainboard powered by the Intel X38 chipset. The
board features dual PCI Express slots, DDR3 memory and more.
A feature that you don't expect to find on a mainboard is an
embedded Linux environment. Phoronix
says that the Linux environment is complete with a web browser and a Skype
VoIP client. The Linux environment is ready to run within seconds of powering
the mainboard up and requires no software installation.
A screen asks you if you want to boot into Linux or another
operating system. The software that supports this Linux environment is called
SplashTop, which is an instant-on Linux environment being developed by
The included web browser is a stripped version of Firefox
that includes support for flash. The OS loads into your RAM, however, Phoronix
says that your settings are recalled for the next time you use Linux. Support
for Live Bookmarks is included but you can't open local files on SplashTop.
SplashTop is also reportedly able to access and use the
mainboard's built-in ASUS 802.11n wireless adapter right out of the box as
well. Supported screen resolutions inside SplashTop are basic and no 3D
acceleration is available. Linux fans may be disappointed to hear that there is
no Linux virtual terminal.
The MSRP for the ASUS P5E3 Deluxe is $360 USD.

LEWISTOWN - With the U.S. Congress pondering a cut in federal Community Development Block Grant funding, local agencies relying on those monies may have to wait a little longer to find out how much they will receive later this year.
During a public hearing on Thursday, the Mifflin County Commissioners heard recommendations from the Mifflin County CDBG Advisory Committee meeting held last month with regard to CDBG funding requests. Those requests, however, are contingent on whether Congress decides to lower the amount of funding that will be available.
"We were actually advised to hold off on this public hearing because of the crisis in the federal government," stated Jim Lettiere, the county's community development administrator. "As of right now, we do not know how much money we are going to get. We could see a cut as high as 62 percent in federal CDBG monies, which would amount to $80,320. That would be a significant loss."
Lettiere said the committee decided to go ahead and hold Thursday's public hearing to at least give the commissioners an idea of the approved funding levels which, he added, would have to be altered in the event of fewer federal dollars.
During the hearing, Lettiere outlined the following requests and funding recommendations:
$36,387 to the Mifflin County Office of Planning and Development for the county's housing rehabilitation program.
$15,000 to Newton Hamilton Borough for replacement of 6,000 linear feet of water main in the southwest bound lane of Ferguson Valley Road.
$50,000 to Juniata Terrace Borough for trenchless rehabilitation of 1,900 linear feet of terra cotta sanitary sewer line in the borough.
$20,609 to Armagh Township for stormwater management and roadway improvements on Locust Drive.
$16,510 to the SEDA-COG Housing Development Corp. for property acquisition for the Mann Edge site at the intersection of Dorcas and Water streets for the purpose of new housing construction.
$10,000 to the Mifflin County Housing Authority for costs associated with market studies, legal fees, environmental studies, appraisals and borough permit fees for the senior and transitional housing project at the Lewistown Hotel.
$19,796 to the Mifflin-Juniata Dental Clinic to assist with paying salaries of a part-time dentist, dental assistant and hygienist for dental services.
$9,710 to Regional Services Corp. to assist with the purchase of a cargo van for the purpose of transporting congregate and home delivered meals.
$21,988 to SUM Child Development for the purchase of playground equipment for the McVeytown Head Start program.
$47,372 for county administration costs.
Two projects requested CDBG funding but were not recommended for approval: The United Way of Mifflin-Juniata requested $93,000 to renovate and expand its office building located at 13 E. Third St., Lewistown; and Armagh Township requested $44,000 for stormwater management and roadway improvements in the Brown's Addition neighborhood.
Lettiere said once his department receives notification on the county's CDBG allocation, an additional public hearing, followed by a resolution by the commissioners, are necessary before any funds can be distributed.
In other business Thursday, the commissioners:
Approved the hiring of Sarah H. Rosko as a judicial law clerk effective Feb. 28.
Approved the extension of a joint tax collection agreement between the county, Mifflin County School District and Miffco Tax Services Inc. through the end of 2011.
Approved the transfer of Duane Coulter from maintenance laborer to janitor effective Feb. 18.
Approved the transfer of Harry Seby from janitor to maintenance laborer effective Feb. 28.
Accepted the resignation of Ashley Ranck as caseworker supervisor in the Children & Youth Department effective March 8.
Accepted the retirement of Raymond Corson as a corrections officer effective Feb. 25.
Accepted a $200 offer for a parcel located in Derry Township that is currently in repository for unsold properties.
Accepted a $6,000 offer for a parcel located in Decatur Township that is currently in repository for unsold properties.

Bioprospecting in the Antarctic: Exploring Options for the Legal Framework
Bioprospecting is search for and sampling of biological material which may be useful for scientific or commercial purposes. Bioprospecting activity in the Antarctic might be increasing, yet its policy and regulatory framework remains unclear. In order to preserve the biological diversity and avoid conflicts between stakeholders claiming rights to genetic resources resulting from bioprospecting, it is important to explore options towards establishing an appropriate legal framework for this Antarctic activity.
The overall objective of this research project is to investigate concepts relevant for the establishment of a legal framework for bioprospecting in the Antarctic. This project investigates legal concepts such as:
(i) exclusive rights over genetic resources.
(ii) genetic resources as
res nullius
(iii) genetic resources as public domain.
The purpose of the project is to study whether and how these legal concepts can be applied to bioprospecting in the Antarctic. This study assesses how different legal concepts relate to both access to genetic resources and sharing of the resultant benefits. Moreover, the project also analyses how each of these concepts relate to intellectual property rights. This is expected to contribute to the knowledge-base on which bioprospecting in the Antarctic can be regulated.

MAKING THE PITCH Dan Braniff talks about pension splitting with Canadian Association of Retired Persons members in 2004.
MOST PEOPLE may never know or care but the federal government's landmark decision to allow pension splitting - announced by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty in late October - was the result of a cause that started right here in the Georgian Triangle.
Pension splitting significantly reduces the income tax that some Canadian seniors must pay. In other words, it means all couples are treated fairly tax-wise.
Pension splitting is a term used to describe strategies for shifting income from a higher tax bracket family member to a lower tax bracket family member. The shift allows a greater portion of the family income to be taxed at a lower rate, thereby permitting a tax savings.
And one of the men who got the pension splitting ball rolling was Collingwood resident Dan Braniff, 75.
Braniff and a couple of friends were enjoying drinks after a Probus Club meeting in April 2003 when they got to talking about taxes and some of the related issues that aren't fair.
Braniff says they were subsequently able to arrange an interview with Paul Bownick, then the Liberal MP for Simcoe-Grey, to discuss their concerns.
"As a good politician he listened and advised us that a list of nine (tax) issues was not the best thing to deal with if we wanted to get anything done," Braniff recalled.
Braniff and his friends then decided to host a town hall-style meeting at the Leisuretime Club in Collingwood so they could determine, from a grassroots perspective, what people deemed to be the most important tax issue.
Braniff recalled a whopping 320 people attended the June 2003 meeting and that income splitting - one of the topics he and his friends initially talked about - was the number one subject.
"So we started to put together our case - we did some digging," he said.
The preparatory work included a meeting between Braniff, his colleague Walter Barclay and Murray Morgenthau, who with his wife, Lillian, founded the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) in 1984.
CARP began as a concept at the Morgenthau kitchen table and has grown in the last two decades to an organization representing 400,000-plus Canadians. The non-profit, national organization provides a voice for Canadians who are age 50 or older.
"We told him we proposed to start a chapter up here," Braniff said, adding the subject of pension splitting and using CARP as a lobby body was also discussed.
And, in April 2004, the Georgian Bay chapter - which now numbers about 10,000 members - held its inaugural meeting.
"We took a poll - to see what's important. Tax issues were number one and health was number two. So we knew we were on the right track (in terms of pension splitting) and that people supported us."
What transpired next was a flurry of letters, phone calls and face-to-face meetings between CARP and various organizations, as the association lobbied the federal government for the creation of pension splitting. CARP members also lobbied their MPs in a letter writing campaign.
CARP and related organizations also started to generate media attention, both locally and elsewhere in the country, for the need to have pension splitting. The concept had been bandied about for 40 years by various governments, however, it was always shelved because it would cost Ottawa millions of dollars.
In 2005, CARP would go on to make pension splitting its top advocacy issue. A growing number of organizations also got on board and by the time the government made it's announcement last month support for pension splitting could be found from the Royal Canadian Legion, The Retired Teachers of Ontario and Canada's Association for the Fifty Plus, just to name a few. The organizations, including CARP, became known as The Common Front For Pension Splitting.
Prior to the federal election in January 2006, Braniff took the subject of pension splitting to the candidates running in Simcoe-Grey.
"All of them believed in it, that it was the right thing to do, but only the Tories had it in their policy," he said.
Braniff said that Simcoe-Grey MP Helena Guergis, the Conservative who narrowly defeated Bonwick the year before, was the most keen in terms of helping move the pension splitting agenda forward.
In fact, at CARP's inaugural meeting, Guergis was on hand and indicated her desire to assist. And, at the Tories' policy conference in 2005, she was the MP responsible for having pension splitting introduced as a party policy statement.
Guergis, holding true to her words at CARP's inaugural meeting, worked behind the scenes to try and get her government to approve pension splitting. Guergis even sponsored a petition, demanding that the House of Commons provide some relief to seniors and workers saving for retirement.
Braniff said that Simcoe-North MP Bruce Stanton also got on board, as did Barrie MP Patrick Brown and Owen Sound-area MP Larry Miller.
Still, despite all the support, Braniff said there were never any guarantees the lobbying would be successful.
"This was a dream," Braniff said, still somewhat amused at the fact pension splitting is now allowed.
In late 2006, the push for pension splitting began to gain even more momentum.
Independent MP Garth Turner - a Tory MP until he was expelled recently for speaking too candidly about his party and some of its policies - supported pension splitting and was working in conjunction with The Common Front. He managed to get The Common Front a meeting room in the West Block so that the organization could discuss its pension splitting issue.
Braniff said that invitations were sent to every Member of Parliament and to senators.
Turner and Braniff would co-chair the Oct. 3 meeting, which drew a crowd of about 200 people, including 33 MPs from the three main parties.
"There was lots of discussion that took place," Braniff said, explaining that it was his role to present The Common Front on the issue of pension splitting.
The seeds - to use Braniff's words - had been planted and yet the government's announcement to allow pension splitting still came as somewhat of a shock.
The day Flaherty made the announcement on behalf of the government, Braniff learned the news not from anyone on Parliament Hill but in a phone call he received from a friend in Victoria, B.C. He then got an e-mail from Garth Turner, containing two words: "We won."
"Did I really think we'd win? I don't know. I'm a great believer though that you make your own luck."
Braniff said he thinks the government's action on the pension splitting file was part of a strategy. The pension splitting announcement came the same day as the government said it was introducing new rules to curb the corporate move toward the creation of more income trust companies.
"He knew that would upset seniors so pension splitting was the thing to do," Braniff said.
Income trust companies tend to pay less tax than traditional corporations as they make regular cash distributions to unit holders, shifting the tax burden to those investors. They are immensely popular with many investors because the distributions they pay are often higher and more regular than dividends paid by corporations.
"Left unchecked, such corporate decisions would result in billions of dollars in less revenue for the federal government to invest in the priorities of Canadians," Flahery said last month.
Changes introduced by the government will tax income trusts more like corporations, but will lower the general corporate tax rate to 18.5 per cent by 2011.
For Guergis, the decision to permit pension saving just makes sense.
"Our government's actions are very clear, decisive and will benefit seniors across Canada for years to come. Our seniors, who have contributed their lives to building Canada as we know it today are to be commended in working with me on their very important development," she said the day following the government's announcement.
And that - the contribution Canadians made over the years and the need for fairness - is really what the whole pension splitting issue is all about, Braniff said.
"I come from the generation of the homemaker and the bread-winner," he said. "When I was moving up the corporate ladder she (Braniff's wife) was changing diapers. This is more than a symbol...it's some retribution."
For Braniff and many like him, he said, pension splitting means they can split their retirement savings with their wives - recognizing the value of their unpaid, or lower income, work over the years while reducing the household tax bill.
Braniff, who retired in 1985 as the general manager of Bell Canada's Toronto operations, said that several times in his career he worked at the same level with women but they had a different title and received a lower salary.
"Canada was behind the times," he said. "This (pension splitting) is a little catch-up."

The recently crowned Miss South Carolina, Brooke Mosteller of Mount Pleasant, made her mark as a scholar and athlete before she thought about competing in beauty pageants.
She sees her title as an opportunity to promote her mission of getting more students into college. She started a program to help students fill out college applications that's been endorsed by the S.C. Commission on Higher Education.
Mosteller comes from a family of high achievers, and she's been carrying on the tradition in her own way. She was 2008 salutatorian at Wando High School. Her tennis team won the state championship. She branched into track star at Furman University and set school and state records. She graduated from Furman in 2012 and is a law student at the University of South Carolina. She is interested in a career prosecuting child abusers. She turned 24 Friday.
Her mother is Cyndi Campsen Mosteller, former chairwoman of the Charleston County Republican Party.
Her father, Rick Mosteller, owns and operates Fort Sumter Tours and SpiritLine Cruises.
Her uncle, Cyndi's brother, is state Sen. Chip Campsen, also a conservative Republican.
Defining moment
Cyndi Mosteller pointed out an incident that she says pretty much sums up her daughter.
It was April 2010 at the Southern Conference Women's Track and Field Championship. Brooke had just entered her first track meet ever two weeks earlier and set a Furman record in a 5,000 meter race. Brooke later said she wasn't even wearing the right kind of shoes for that first race. Her strategy was to keep up with the lead runner until near the end, then see what she had left near the finish line.
She had the same strategy at the state championship at Appalachian State in Boone, N.C., but there were a lot more runners on the track. On the fourth lap, she ran into a runner from Davidson and fell down.
Brooke said that fall was probably the most embarrassing moment of her life. Then a quote from Teddy Roosevelt hit her, the one that says don't be with "those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." She got back up and won the race.
"That's the kind of determination she has," Cyndi said.
Pageant life
Brooke still runs regularly, although she's holding back for a little softer look for the Miss America pageant in September.
She's spending almost full time preparing for the national competition, which will be nationally televised from Atlantic City, N.J.
She's living in an apartment near Miss South Carolina headquarters in Hartsville, working daily with fitness trainers and a voice coach, doing mock interviews, watching the news to be ready to answer questions about current events.
A business manager coordinates her schedule, which also includes Miss America appearances that have already started since she was crowned July 13.
"It is a full-time job," manager Sharon Copes said.
The pageant looks at the whole person, including walking around the stage in a two-piece swimsuit while everybody judges you. "It's confidence and health and lifestyle," she said. "Did she work out, did she put the time in? How has she been eating? And how confident is she? Is she having fun? How else are you going to know how fit the girl is unless you see if she's got a six-pack or not?"
She's working on her walk. "I have that little athletic limp that I do, and that's what we're trying to get rid of, or smooth out," she says with a laugh.
Finding her mission
Brooke comes from a close family and was a top student at one of the state's best high schools. Yet she said she found filling out college applications incredibly difficult and frustrating. That's what prompted her to start College Application Day in 2009. Last fall 152 high schools participated, and 32,000 seniors filled out applications.
"What I say is education is a transcendent tool for empowerment, because your educational attainment affects so many other aspects of your life," she said. "That's what I really want for everyone, is to attain the best that they can, and education is really at the heart of that."
The S.C. Legislature passed a resolution last summer affirming that the state has an economic interest in getting more students to go to college and recognizing the importance of her work. The bill was sponsored by Campsen.
She says it's possible she might run for state office someday, although it's not a goal. "There are no women in the state Senate, which is ridiculous," she said. "I wouldn't put that as a goal, because I think the goal should be how can you serve best, or how can you serve your passions best or use your gifts to the best of your abilities?"
She visualizes herself as a prosecutor. "I want to work in crimes against children, child molestation, child-abuse crimes," she said.
She will take a year off from law school during her reign as Miss South Carolina. She will return to school with a $24,000 scholarship from winning the pageant.

It was Nicole Richie, take two, on Friday morning: Labeling her a former "out-of-control party girl," Diane Sawyer asked how the socialite intends to transform herself into – in Richie's words – "a very healthy and respectable" mother.
One of Sawyer's main concerns, the ABC anchor said on Friday's part two of her Good Morning America interview with Richie (more from the Q&A will air on Friday's 20/20), was whether the formerly ultra-thin Simple Life star is finally eating – and not endangering the baby she's carrying.
"Do I eat is kind of an understatement," said Richie, who is four months pregnant. "I eat all the time, especially now. I'm constantly hungry. I'm eating at least every hour."
Sounding neither defensive nor particularly alarmed, Richie, 25, said, "Just like any mother, you know, you want to take the best care of yourself, especially while you're pregnant. And I'm definitely eating healthier now, and I'm really playing by the rules."
By that, Richie said, "I do not drink caffeine at all, cut out sushi" – and, in response to questions from Sawyer, who had also mentioned Richie's cocaine and heroin use – "No alcohol ... No marijuana ... No pills ... Nothing ... No smoking around me."
Richie's boyfriend and father of her child, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden, at that point told Sawyer that he had "a tough week" giving up his pack-and-a-half-a-day cigarette habit.
Richie also said, "I'm totally okay" with gaining 40 or 50 lbs. during her pregnancy if "that is what my body needs to do."
Earlier in the interview, Sawyer had confronted Richie with photos that displayed the socialite's skeletal frame, and asked if Richie felt any responsibility for the impression such images might make on little girls in regard to body image.
"I'm really sorry for not accepting that earlier," Richie replied. "It took me a while." As for what Richie sees when she looks at those photos, she said, "I see a girl that is obviously going through something and is much too skinny."
Asked point blank if she has an eating disorder, Richie said, "No, I do not have an eating disorder. I've never had an eating disorder. Ever. ... It's anxiety. It's stress. It's just not being careful."
Was it drug-related? "I think it possibly could have been," said Richie.
Richie also acknowledged Sawyer's observation that the socialite looked close to death, but Richie says she was not.

DETROIT – Despite his nine seasons of NHL experience, the two years remaining on his contract and the different dimension he provides, Jordin Tootoo realizes he is not assured of a roster spot with the Detroit Red Wings.
When the Red Wings take the ice Thursday for training camp in Traverse City, Tootoo must prove he belongs on the team.
"Every year is a tryout camp for me; that's how I take it mentally,'' Tootoo said. "I just have to prepare myself the best I can as there are hundreds of guys that would love to be in your spot. I'm coming into camp with the mindset of fighting for a spot on the team."
The Red Wings have 16 forwards, two more than they plan to carry. Darren Helm (back, groin) might start the season on injured reserve. That would leave the club needing to trim one more player.
The Red Wings tried to shed some salary by making a trade in the off-season – they shopped Tootoo, among others, but there were no takers. Trade talks could resume during the season. Tootoo said he can't worry about whether he'll be moved.
"For me, it's about having the opportunity to play in the NHL, and that (a trade) is out of my reach,'' Tootoo said. "I've got to worry about my game and take it one day at a time and let the business people do that side of things.
"I've been through a lot over the years. This is what makes you a stronger person, both on and off the ice.''
The Red Wings signed Tootoo, 30, to a three-year, $5.7 million contract in 2012. They were seeking a physical presence and agitator for their fourth line, someone who occasionally will fight.
Tootoo played in 42 regular season games (three goals, five assists, eight fighting majors) but appeared in only one playoff game. Coach Mike Babcock opted to use players who provided a different dimension in the postseason, rotating in the likes of Todd Bertuzzi and Mikael Samuelsson, who had been injured virtually the entire regular season, and utilizing penalty killers Patrick Eaves and Drew Miller, who returned midway through the playoffs following a late-season injury.
"(Tootoo) did everything we wanted – he was physical, he gave us energy,'' Babcock said. "The type of player he is, he gets way more opportunity early in the season when it's being silly (more fights), and then he doesn't in the end.''
Babcock said the lack of fighting in the playoffs was one of the reasons he didn't use Tootoo.
Tootoo said his exit interview with Babcock went well.
"For me, constructive criticism is a good thing,'' Tootoo said. "That's what you have to work on and build off of. I thought I did everything that was expected, but at the same time it's basically one day at a time for me here, and that's been my mentality for the last three years.''
He feels recharged mentally and physically following a summer of hunting and fishing.
"This is where I want to win a Stanley Cup, and when you have other guys that want your spot you have to make sure that you bring your 'A' game every day,'' he said.

A police investigation into the assassination of Salman Taseer, the Governor of Punjab, has found that Mumtaz Qadri, a member of his security detail, had been moved from the police special branch because of his links to radical religious groups.
The revelation has renewed concerns about the extent to which Pakistan's security services have been infiltrated by extremist elements at a time when the country is fighting

The National Young Farmers Coalition released a report on Sept. 30 that reveals how current farmland conservation practices are failing working farmers and new farming opportunity.
The report, "Farmland Conservation 2.0: How Land Trusts Can Protect America's Working Farms," surveyed 200 land trust leaders from across the United States and found that one-quarter of land trusts have seen protected farmland move out of production.
Below is a portion of that report:
A new generation of farmers needs land to satisfy the demand for fresh, local produce, but America's working farms near urban markets are increasingly being developed or sold to wealthy estate buyers. Unable to afford the market price for farmland, working farmers are being driven from the most valuable growing regions in the country — the land directly surrounding 80 percent of the American public who now live in cities.
Over the past 50 years, the American land trust community has demonstrated great success in protecting farmland from development. Today, this community holds the key to ensuring that farm families have access to affordable farmland near urban markets through innovative conservation easements. These conservation easements keep farmland owned by farmers and in agricultural production.
Although these new conservation easements were adopted decades ago by the state of Massachusetts, the Vermont Land Trust and others, they have yet to be utilized on a large scale. Based on our national survey, we believe these easements are effective, important and could be scaled up with the appropriate incentives, professional development and support for the land trust community.
The National Young Farmers Coalition calls on land trusts and public and private funders to adopt and incentivize new conservation easements that keep land affordable for working farmers, thereby strengthening our national food security and addressing the immediate needs of new farmers.
This report features a national survey of 223 land conservation professionals, two focus groups and interviews with conservation leaders. Trends in farmland affordability and land conservation are reviewed based on secondary data from United States Census of Agriculture, academic and nonprofit sources.
• Land protected by traditional conservation easements is being underutilized or is going out of production. There is strong recognition among established land trusts of this trend. Overall, 24 percent of land trust respondents said that they had seen protected farms taken out of production.
• Traditional conservation easements are designed to protect farmland from residential and commercial development, but they do not prevent non-farmers from purchasing protected farms as estate properties. Land transitioning away from farmer ownership contributes to the trend of farms being underutilized or taken out of production altogether. Survey participants identified non-farmers as the primary threat to the continued agricultural use of easement protected land.
• Innovative land trusts are utilizing stronger conservation easements that keep farmland in full production by farmers, but these practices are not widespread. More than two-thirds of land trust respondents had limited or no familiarity with easements that make land affordable to farmers.
• Young farmers represent valuable partners for land trusts seeking to protect working farms. Only 18 percent of land trusts reported that they helped to transition working farmland to the next generation of farmers.
• Bringing farmland affordability strategies outlined in this report to scale will require incentives from public and private sector funders of the land conservation community, professional development training and strategies to minimize perceived risks for land trust boards. Nearly 90 percent of land trusts said they would support targeting public funds for conservation easements with affordability protections.
1. Public funding for the purchase of agricultural conservation easements should be directed towards easements that keep farms owned by working farmers and in production.
2. To increase farmland protected by affordability and production requirements, cities, foundation and private philanthropists must work together to expand funding for innovative farmland protection projects.
3. The USDA should add farmland affordability and production requirements to its national ranking criteria for the Farm and Ranchland Protection Program (or future Agriculture Conservation Easement Program), as well as clarify existing rules to make clear that easements with OPAV or similar language can be funded.
4. In addition to supporting farmland protection that keeps farms in production, states should adopt incentives to encourage landowners to transfer land to new and beginning farmers.
5. Land trusts that are focused on the viability of agricultural communities must target new and beginning farmers as conservation buyers and strategic partners. ❖
The National Young Farmers Coalition was founded in 2010 by three farmers in the Hudson Valley in New York, who were struggling to find affordable land.
Co-founders Lindsey Lusher Shute and Benjamin Shute wrote an op-ed, titled "Keep Farmland for Farmers," that appeared in the New York Times on Oct. 1, www.nytimes.com/2013/10/01/opinion/keep-farmland-for-farmers.html.

Time Warner gets back to its core assets
Jeffrey Bewkes can't wait for the day when Time Warner is evaluated strictly as a content company.
As Sumner Redstone did with Viacom, Bewkes has steered Time Warner into de-consolidation mode in the past few years. The conglom completed the long-gestating spinoff of Time Warner Cable in March and is on track to unload its AOL albatross by year's end.
Bewkes was famously skeptical of the merits of AOL-Time Warner merger from the get-go in 2000, so there must be a measure of satisfaction for the exec to preside over the official dismantling of the mega-merger that was supposed to change the face of media forever.
Now, even as cable giant Comcast Corp. plots a purchase of a major ity stake of NBC Universal, there's clearly a back-to-basics movement among showbiz congloms.
Disney is focused on brands, brands, brands — businesses that make sense within the core operations of Disney, ABC or ESPN. Marvel and its vault of characters made perfect sense in this context. News Corp. isn't bragging so much about the wonders of MySpace as it is about those "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" DVD sales. John Malone's Liberty Media is taking steps to separate its DirecTV satellite biz from its Starz Entertainment cablers and production-distribution operations.
Redstone spurred the breakup of Viacom and CBS because the entirety of the conglom's far-flung operations was too disparate for Wall Street to easily value. CBS would fare better as a more nimble operation with local TV and radio balancing the network operations of the Eye and Showtime. Viacom would rise or fall on the strength of Paramount Pictures and MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and other cablers under the MTV Networks umbrella.
During Time Warner's third-quarter earnings call earlier this month, when Time Warner execs went so far as to produce earnings estimates for what the company will look like post-AOL, Bewkes noted that even in a rough economy, revenue for what he called Time Warner's "content group" was off just 3% for the quarter.
The split from Time Warner Cable left Bewkes with $9 billion in cash burning a hole in Time Warner's pocket. But don't look for Bewkes to go on an acquisition spree. Time Warner was very public about its lack of interest in joining the NBC Universal bidding fray — even Rupert Murdoch and Malone kicked the Peacock's tires.
In talking up the company's prospects for 2010, Bewkes emphasized the strength of Warner Bros. film, TV and homevid operations, as well as the reliable profits delivered by HBO and the Turner cablers.
"Warner Bros.' consistency and return (on investment) profile may not be fully appreciated," Bewkes told the Wall Streeters during the Nov. 4 earnings call. But it sure will be, for better or worse, going forward in the streamlined Time Warner.

I still struggle entering a Starbucks,
& asking for a Grande Blonde
It just doesn't seem polite
For a while, I asked for a Tall one,
but size became an issue
I can't help but feel I am ordering
some mail order bride.
Blonde, being a lighter roast,
is much smoother than the dark blends,
easier to stomach.
Some marketing guy, surely,
sits in a back office
of corporate headquarters
laughing in spasmodic glee
at all the societal issues
I have to ponder
just to get a simple cup
of coffee
Maybe wondering why
I call him Shirley.
Just a goofy verse for today. It is Monday after all and I could use the coffee.

Hello friends,
No PDP-11/RSX questions today.
I have two DS20 AXP systems.
Recently one of them reports "FIRMWARE" on the LCD display shortly
after power up. The console never comes up, so I can't tell it to boot

Any suggestions?

The small but muscular body of Temple football star Matt Brown displays the scars of a life that has been both privileged and painful.
To honor his stepmother, Donna Brown, who was strangled in a domestic dispute, the tailback has a tattoo on his left forearm of a rose and her name in cursive letters. Her birthday - 11-28 - is in the image of droplets of blood near his biceps.
Brown has the names of two other murdered family members, an incarcerated nephew, and his closest friends tattooed on his caramel-colored skin.
"They're the story of my life," Brown said. "I wear my life on my sleeves."

At present, we see widespread use of long-term opioid therapy (LtOT) for chronic noncancer pain based on the moral argument that this type of pain causes as much suffering and deserves treatment as much as cancer pain, as well as on the "scientific" argument that enduring analgesia can be achieved at stable doses with minimal risk of addiction.1 While modest reductions (approximately 30%) in pain have been reported during the 3-month duration of most trials, other prospective studies suggest that LtOT (>3 months) may not provide sustained analgesia or improve role function in a clear majority of patients.2 Some nonrandomized prospective studies suggest that opioid treatment may actually retard functional recovery.3,4

Vandals have left their mark at the Upper Bern Township Park. The devastation has hit close to home for some young ball players.
Ray Kuhn, former president of the Shartlesville Youth Baseball Association, stood in front of a vandalized baseball concession stand on Tuesday at the park with a heavy heart.
"It's tough, you know, especially since we just put a couple thousand dollars into fixing it over the last two years," said Kuhn.
Kuhn stated that the vandals left their mark at three buildings at the park. The worst damage was to the newly renovated baseball concession stand. Inside, he found a used fire extinguisher, shattered glass, a broken coffee machine and a destroyed electric panel.
Outside the building, "We got entry doors that are needed, serving doors, windows, they busted a hole through a concrete block. They actually climbed on the roof and tore shingles off the roof. It's pretty substantial," said Kuhn. "We first noticed it yesterday morning. We got a call from the township."
Officials with the Shartlesville Youth Baseball Association said they are not sure when the vandals struck. Since 2010, the association has raised its own funds to keep up with township codes.
"The bad part about it is the kids pay for this. This is fundraising money and now the kids have to put more money out to fix... that's the hardest part," said Kuhn.
Pennsylvania State Police said that the vandals also tried to destroy the locks on the park's bathroom doors. At this time, Trooper David Beohm stated, they have no leads.
"If there's good surface we will process the scene for any physical evidence that may be left behind," said Beohm.
"We have a lot more work ahead of us now," said Kuhn.
With help from the community, Kuhn stated, they are hopeful things will be back in order before the baseball season starts up again.

Extramedullary hemopoiesis is the result of a compensatory mechanism against many chronic hematological diseases that are characterized by bone marrow depression. These conditions include thalassemia major or intermedia, sickle cell disease, polycythemia vera, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and hereditary spherocytosis. The most common sites of occurrence are the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes,1but many tissues have the potential to exhibit extramedullary hemopoiesis, such as the kidney, adrenal glands, breasts, spinal cord, pleura, endometrium, intracranial cavity, and intrathoracic cavity. Intrathoracic extramedullary hemopoiesis is rarely seen and is usually asymptomatic, requiring no therapy.2However, it may sometimes present with spinal cord compression, pleural effusion, massive hemothorax, or dyspnea.3It is important to distinguish a mass caused by extramedullary hemopoiesis from other lesions involving the posterior mediastinum. Diagnosis is based on clinical and radiological findings, with magnetic resonance imaging as the diagnostic modality of choice.4The differential diagnosis includes neurogenic tumors, lymphomas, primary and secondary malignant lesions, extrapleural cysts, and paravertebral abscesses. Biopsy may sometimes be necessary to confirm the diagnosis,2and surgery and radiotherapy may be needed to treat symptomatic patients with spinal cord compression.
Although extramedullary hemopoiesis is a rare cause of an intrathoracic mass, the diagnosis must be considered in any patient with congenital hemolytic disorder. In this regard, a potentially invasive procedure such as surgery should be avoided.

Today Is The US 60 Yard Sale – Five Things You Will Hear
If you are riding around in Kentucky today be very careful, as cars are slowing down on a 200 mile stretch of US 60 for the US 60 Yard Sale. I already encountered a couple cars in Henderson just parked in the road to get the bargains. It inspired me to give you the top 5 things you will hear at today's yard sales.
Number 5
"Does this work?"
"I'm not sure"
"I'll take it"
Number 4
"Are You having a yard sale?"
"Yes, but it starts at 7am"
"It's 5:30, you got any baby clothes?"
Number 3
"My granddaughter will LOVE this"
Granddaughter a few days later: "I hate this"
Number 2
Wife: "I used to have one just like this."
Husband: "Didn't you sell that at our yard sale last year?"
Wife: "Yeah, but I wish I hadn't. I'm getting it." (Sells it at next yard sale)
Number 1
"I've been looking for one of these for years. What are you asking for it?"
"Ooh, that's high. Would you take a quarter?"
Happy Yard Sale-ing!

WAILUKU - Comic-turned-movie star Augie T is going check out his performance in "Get a Job" for the first time tonight when the rollicking made-on-Maui comedy opens a 13-show run in the Historic Iao Theater.
He'll probably have something to say about it.
"There's pretty much going to be a live entertainer before each show," confirmed writer-director Brian Kohne about the weekend engagement of the film.
Article Photos
A montage of tickets will be on sale as collectible artwork from this unique production
It stars musical headliners Willie K and Eric Gilliom in comedic roles -Willie plays a harried employment counselor, Eric plays an unemployable client - in a series of misadventure over the space of one madcap week.
The film also boasts a who's-who of island musical artists, including Jake Shimabukuro, Henry Kapono, Willie Nelson, Pat Simmons and Mick Fleetwood in cameos, as well as local theatrical performers like Kathy Collins, Marcia Kelly and Vinnie Linares in supporting roles.
Maui audiences will also spot numerous friends and family as extras in the slapstick antics on-screen, filmed last spring at very recognizable locations around the island.
Produced by Stefan Schaefer, the film pulses to an original soundtrack full of music by the two stars in their Barefoot Natives days, as well as other island-produced music.
Kohne, who grew up on Maui and remembers attending films at the Iao as a boy, is turning the theater back into a movie venue, and will spread the fun across the street to a beer-garden, which will also include food and merchandise sales and an area for families (For event details, see Week at a Glance).
Members of the cast will be around all weekend to sign autographs, and Q&A sessions will follow screenings throughout the weekend.
"Get a Job" sold out when it premiered in Castle Theater in November, and Kohne anticipates that its special connections with local audiences will continue.
"From an audience standpoint, it's going to be another one of those 'Wow, this is cool' events," he says, promising to even show up in the film's signature banana costume at some time during the fun-filled weekend.

WESTFIELD — When he conducts a Hunterdon Lions Track Club practice session, Carlton Blake urges the young athletes to push themselves to the very hilt so they know what that feels like when they're trying to push themselves to a victory during a meet.
"I've been challenging them to find out something new about themselves each time they run — to find a new limit," said the HLTC assistant coach and former Jamaican sprinting standout. "I've been reminding them that they can't simply turn things on at the meet.
"'Champions are created in practice,' I repeat to them. They've been responding in practice, some of them getting personal bests at practice, which is incredible."
The Lions also responded quite well during the heat of competition, literally, at the Westfield Flyers Meet on June 23 at Westfield High School's Kehler Stadium.
Gabby Beneducci earned a pair of first-place medals and the Lions also took top honors in seven other events on a steamy, 90-degree day. Hunterdon Lions Track Club competitors delivered 15 other top-three finishes in the meet, which also attracted athletes from the Roselle Rams, Plainfield Tsunami, East Orange, Prime Time and the host squad, among others.
"In addition to the kids who didn't make the top three, they almost all came away with personal bests against a very competitive field on a very hot day," said Blake, who took charge of the HLTC team for this event in the absence of Head Coach Jim Crossin. "This is a testament to the kids' dedication and hard work during practices — giving up their evenings three times a week to come out and be tortured by the coaches in the heat while their friends are out having fun."
Competing in the Youth Girls (age 13-14) bracket, Beneducci won the 200-meter race in 29.19 seconds and the 400 in 1:03.9 while also placing third in the 100. In the 400 she moved in front about 150 in and then at the midway point pulled away to defeat teammate Hannah Kern by just over six seconds.
There also was plenty of drama during the 400 among the Midget Girls (11-12), where HLTC's Caitlin Gilvey zipped into the lead with 70 meters to go to win in 1:10.30, nipping Plainfield's Ashleigh Patterson (1:10.33) and the Lions' Katie Fullowan (1:11.88). Both HLTC runners posted personal bests.
"That finish validated the hard work Caitlin and Katie have been doing in practice," said Blake. "Caitlin found another gear, harnessing a will to win, and came from behind to win. Katie herself also kicked it in and finished a close third. Both girls have grown in talent so much this year and are getting better every day."
The Lions' Heather Knapp uncorked a 67-10 throw to win the javelin in the Youth Girls division, with Alainna Sharp of the Raritan Township-based Hunterdon Hawks finishing second (65-2.75). Sharp, also second in the 200 hurdles, long jump and shot put, has been working out with the HLTC since the Hawks' season ended in late May.
Ken Suttmeier, whose son Josh was an All-State thrower at North Hunterdon High and is now competing at the University of South Carolina, coaches the javelin for the HLTC. His daughter Amy will be a senior at North in the fall and is also an outstanding thrower.
"We're very fortunate to have so many skilled coaches who volunteer their time," said Crossin, "many of whom, like Ken, no longer have a child in the program. They just love the sport."
Justin Rush won the Midget Boys 100 dash in 14.34 and his brother Eric took the Bantam Boys long jump while also finishing second in the 100 and 200.
Other HLTC victors were Julia Hilty (Midget shot put), Garrett Coyne (Midget 200) and Samantha Kehler (Midget 800). Kehler finished in 2:54.77, hitting the line 16 seconds faster than her closest rival. Her great uncle, Gary Kehler, was a legendary football and wrestling coach at Westfield High and the stadium bears his name.
Top-3 Finishers
Bantam (9-10)
Eric Rush, 1st, long jump (11-10.25); 2nd, 100 meters (14.81); 2nd, 200 (31.01)

THE MANAGEMENT of patients with gross bleeding1 from the upper gastrointestinal tract has become a subject of renewed interest. It is difficult to obtain facts from the literature on this subject, because such hemorrhage can be of all degrees of severity and can occur from a variety of lesions and in various manners. Comparison of reports from different authors is therefore difficult. Yet it is obvious that a change is taking place among the members of the medical profession in their view of how these patients should be managed. There is also an encouraging trend of improvement in results.
Costello2 reported on 300 patients who vomited gross blood and had evidence of shock or anemia or both. Of these, 69.3 per cent bled from peptic ulcer, an additional 18 per cent from acute or chronic gastritis and 1.3 per cent from gastric carcinoma, a total

Fat mortgage profits drove earnings at financials last quarter, but maybe not this one. Compass Point estimates gain-on-sale margins - the amount lenders make packaging and selling mortgages - could be down 40% in Q1. It's not just the big banks getting hurt. Profits at originators like FBC, NSM, PMT, EVER, and PHH could be most damaged, says Compass Point.

COLUMBIA — He is a Clemson killer known to South Carolina fans as "BRUUUUCE!"
Bruce Ellington is a multi-talented mixed blessing for the Gamecocks.
He has two years of eligibility left, and might not play any more football after this season.
He wasn't much of a factor on offense in six of the Gamecocks' first eight games this season, but is South Carolina's new "go-to" receiver.
Basketball can wait, at least one game longer. Ellington, a sophomore from Moncks Corner who came to South Carolina as a point guard, has thrived since moving from a slot receiver position to an "X" spot split out wide. Just in time, he seems poised for a big game Saturday night at archrival Clemson.
While compiling a 10-1 record, the Tigers have struggled with speedy receivers able to find holes in a still suspect secondary. Ellington is a good kick returner, too, and about to field kickoffs against a team fresh from allowing N.C. State's Tobias Palmer to amass 277 yards on eight returns.
"Every game is not going to be played the same," Ellington said Tuesday. "If they had a couple of mistakes in that game, they're probably going to fix it. We just have to be prepared for what the defense gives us."
As a receiver, Ellington was great at that against Tennessee and Arkansas. Each of his back-to-back games with 100-plus yards receiving included a touchdown.
The Tigers are all too aware of No. 23. Ellington was in Mr. November-mode last year, too, one of the stars of South Carolina's 34-13 romp over Clemson. He caught three passes for 71 yards and the game's first touchdown.
"X" marks the spot
Bruce's cousin and former Berkeley High School teammate Andre Ellington is Clemson's NFL-bound running back. Bruce Ellington's two visits to Death Valley came while accompanying Andre on recruiting trips.
"It's a loud stadium. They're going to be out there cheering for their team," Ellington said. "We just have to go in there and be focused and don't worry about the crowd, just worry about us and do what we have to be doing."
After that, Ellington's plans are fluid.
More football?
"Right now, I haven't made the decision on what I want to do," Ellington said.
He probably will rejoin the basketball team, as he did last December, for some games between the Clemson game and South Carolina's bowl game.
Ellington definitely sparked the offense in the 38-35 victory over Tennessee. It was the first game in which Ellington and Ace Sanders exchanged wide and slot receiver roles, a week after Ellington had zero catches in a rocky 44-11 loss at Florida.
"I'm just running the route and the ball is coming to me," Ellington explained.
'Bruce can do it all'
No, it's a more impressive than that. South Carolina was struggling with Arkansas, up only 14-10 in the second quarter, when Ellington broke the game open by breaking off a route against a two-deep zone defense. He slowed down in a sideline seam between a cornerback who remained near the line of scrimmage and a safety waiting deep in the secondary.
The Connor Shaw pass and Ellington run added up to a 42-yard touchdown play.
In a 24-7 win over Wofford last week, Ellington and Sanders shared the "X" and slot roles.
The two have similar football skill sets and physiques (Ellington is 5-9, 197, and Sanders 5-8, 175).
The new role has helped Ellington jump into the reception lead among Gamecocks receivers, 31 catches to Sanders' 30.
"I really think he's effective anywhere you put him on the field," Sanders said after the Wofford game. "He's pretty much an all-around athlete. Bruce can do it all."
Unselfishness production is necessary for South Carolina against the high-scoring Tigers, maybe troubling for Clemson.
That was part of the plan when Ellington started focusing on football months ago.
"I had the whole summer just to think about football and playing football, so that pretty much just helped me in my all-around game," he said. "I thought my year would be like this."
The better it ends, the more joy and angst in Gamecocks Nation.

Case in point: Kate plans to arrive at Westminster Abbey via car, not carriage.
"Catherine opted for a slightly lower-key arrival," a palace source tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "She felt she would be arriving as Miss Middleton and leaving as HRH whatever, so that was the thinking behind it."
But fairy-tale fans, take heart: The public will still get their princess-in-a-carriage moment when William, 28, and Kate, 29, leave the abbey.
As for the parties, Queen Elizabeth will kick things off with a post-ceremony wedding breakfast of champagne and canapés for 600. At 7 p.m. Prince Charles will host a dinner dance for which Kate – and some 300 guests – will change into evening gowns.
As the date draws closer, the betrothed couple are working to ensure that not everything is revealed ahead of time.
Says a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman: "Prince William and Catherine are keen that some things be a surprise for that day, for their friends and family and those watching around the world."
For much more on William and Kate's wedding, including the bride's likely royal title and her pre-wedding princess training, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

I recently inherited the family slide collection and was able to leave a collection of Derek's slides with the Oral Historian during the weekend of Tribute 08 at Queen's Birthday Weekend in Wellington. I currently live in Nelson and have done so for the last 18 years where together with my husband Martin I have raised two sons. Both my sons are following their father into the field of civil engineering. I have been teaching year 0-1 children at a local Nelson church school for the past 11 years and I enjoy walking, reading, gardening and sleeping in on the weekends! I have two sisters who both work in the field of education like me and our mother was also a classroom teacher.
