Science fiction is set to take on animated 3-D this weekend with the release of "Prometheus" and "Madagascar 3."
The third sequel of the popular family film "Madagascar" is expected to make about $55 million opening weekend.
But "Prometheus," which follows the story of a group of explorers who want to uncover the origins of human life, may top the kiddies.
The movie is set in the same fictional universe as the 1979 sci-fi hit "Alien" and has some similarities.
Movie critic Bob Waliszewski, with Focus on the Family's Plugged In Online , offered more on what to expect from this week's new releases.

Matthew Hatton has done a good job in his own right.
But there really is not a lot he can do with the real elite fighters apart from stick around.
If Khan wins tonight and does step up he should fight someone like Zaveck. And that's a hard fight for Khan against a strong welter.

Khan promotions and Hatton promotions have a working relationship here in the UK, since Khan promotions are unable to create an event due to not having any fighters on their roster they'll look to using the Hatton fighters for the undercard and most likely have Matthew in the main event with Amir.
Financially it's a viable option, commercial fans would buy into the hype straight away so it should be a sell out and get decent ratings on Skysports. Personally I dont like the fight but it's become a successful formula for team Khan they have a title or mando fight then take a bs fight to maximize profits back in the UK.
The fight will have no significance just to gain/satisfy the UK fanbase and make some money during the process.

I should think not, khan and hatton (matthew) are not even in the same league.
Why show up little hatton with another beating?

A 99 Cents Only Store is moving into the retail store formerly occupied by the Do It Center on Valencia Boulevard in Santa Clarita, according to a company official.
Long-rumored to be moving into this location, the discount retailer hung signs up all over the property announcing its arrival.
An operator at its city of Commerce-based headquarters confirmed the location is on its list of new stores and scheduled for a June opening.
The city of Santa Clarita said the company did apply for a permit that is in the process of being approved, said Dave Peterson, assistant planner for the city.
Until the permit is approved, no one has been authorized to do any work on the building to prepare it for opening, Peterson said. But, he said, the city is very close to granting final approval.
"They're splitting use of the building in two. The other half will be occupied by an unknown tenant," Peterson said. "They'll be occupying the left-hand side of the building."
The deep-discount retailer, founded by David Gould, first opened an outlet in 1982. The 99 Cents Only Stores expanded to 292 stores, operating 214 of them in California, 36 in Texas, 29 in Arizona and 13 in Nevada, according to a financial report filed by the company in February. The company is also a wholesale distributor of various products.
Stores open at least one year generate average net sales of $4.8 million per store, or $289 per sellable square foot, which the company believes are the highest in the dollar-store industry.
The retailer reported an increase of 11.1 percent in retail sales, or $39.1 million, for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2011. And it believes it will continue to experience growth in 2012 from increases in same-store sales and new store openings.
In October 2011, the 99 Cents Only Stores agreed to be acquired by Ares Management LLC and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board in a transaction estimated to have a total equity value of $1.6 billion. And the company, once publicly traded, went private.
The once family-run business will continue to be headed by Eric Schiffer, CEO; Jeff Gold, president and COO; and Howard Gold, executive vice president. Founder David Gold will serve as chairman emeritus.
Experts believe the new owners will expand the chain into other markets.
"We believe that 99 Cents Only Stores is a franchise company, and we look forward to working closely with the company's management team and dedicated employees to continue to expand the business in order to successfully increase the company's attractive current market position," said David Kaplan, a senior partner and founding member of Ares Management.

American Idol auditions are a massive affair;the sheer scale of the production can be witnessed even before the show is on air - when serpentine queues of hopefuls line up for auditions. Now, the Fox reality singing show has decided to go online with its auditions process. Entries can be submitted through MySpace until Oct 6. According to the show's producers, the entries must be no longer than 40 seconds, and contestants can choose from the following songs, among others, on the audition list: Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone, " Keith Urban's "Kiss a Girl, " and Barry Manilow's "Copacabana.

So what's new, you ask? The biggest change comes in the form of a layout change: the site will now feature two panels. The left-side panel will host the traditional stream of tweets and the right-side panel will display videos, images, maps, and 'related content' from tweets that are clicked in the left-side panel. And yes, if you want more, you will not have to click on the 'more' button. The new design allows for infinite scrolling. The preview roll-out will take place over the next few weeks.

"I banged up my ribs but other than that I'm fine," he told the Associated Press over the phone from his suburban Virginia home on Monday – two days after being released from the hospital.
The 31-year-old "Brown Sugar" singer (real name: Michael Eugene Archer) reportedly was not wearing his seatbelt on Sept. 19 when his vehicle ran off the road, hit a fence and flipped over, throwing him from the Hummer. The driver of the vehicle, Lynne Sellers, also was hurt, and she and D'Angelo were taken to Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center.
As for the accident, D'Angelo said, "To tell you the truth, I don't really remember anything."
Police continue to investigate the accident.
D'Angelo and his lawyer and business adviser, L. Londell McMillan, told AP on Monday that the injuries were not serious. They said he was banged up and bruised but apparently had no broken bones.
"He has no cast on his body," McMillan said from his New York office. "He's walking around and he's certainly talking." In an earlier statement, McMillan said: "He is anxious to finish the recording of his soul masterpiece that the world has patiently awaited."
Earlier this month. D'Angelo received a suspended prison sentence after pleading no contest to felony cocaine possession. He was sentenced to three years in prison with all three years suspended, and he was asked to pay court costs.

Superhero Dad & Son Spotted Fighting Crime at Local Hardware Store!Monica Bielanko
A single photo, an instant in time, captured by a stranger, and yet it says so much.
The mysterious crimefighting team was recently spotted at what appears to be a Home Depot. As The Huffington Post speculates, perhaps the duo was stocking up on supplies for their next mission?
A Reddit user snapped the superheros in action and posted it on the popular site with this caption: "I know a good dad when I see one."
Withing two days the photo garnered nearly two million comments. Huffington Post pinpointed the comment that best sums up the photo: "A good dad is always a hero to their kids. Capes just let the world see it a little better."
Nail on the head. And maybe in the cart? They are, after all, at the hardware store.

Share this London Guide in Social Bookmarking Sites
In every article on this site are a series of buttons at the end and a few larger ones on the right hand side,
If you left click any of the icons, a new window will open and take you to that social bookmarking site. Selecting the 'More...' option will open a list of all social bookmarking sites, offered by 'Add This': the organisation which supplies the button links.
Why would I want to bookmark something and what are these sites for?
There are several reasons for bookmarking the site, the most obvious and where it gets its name from - is so that you can find it again. The second reason is that if you like a site and think it's useful or interesting, posting it on one of these sites will draw others' attention to it too. It's a social method of ranking the web. The third and less obvious reason is that these links affect the ranking (SERP) of the site in question. By linking to the site, you are offering a small vote of confidence, which is noted by search engine spiders like Bing, Yahoo and most especially Google. This will affect the site's ranking - it's a form of democracy, you vote for what you like, and the quality sites climb the rankings ladder.
These bookmarking sites are all the same then?
Nope. They fall into broad categories and are useful sites to know about generally - so the Inside Guide might get a vote from you, but hopefully by explaining how they differ, you should get a lot of valuable use out of them. Nearly all require you to register or 'join' which is good. Nobody wants 'bots' running around the web 'voting' for spam sites. Below is a quick guide to the best of them (IMHO), and how they differ.
- Favourites, Email and Print - these are local and just what they sound like - Adding to the favourites of your browser, sending by email or printing on your own printer.
- Facebook, Bebo, MySpace - social network sites and well known by most users. This is a way of grouping people according to friend-circles and sharing information amongst that group, or to the entire population.
- Gmail, Hotmail, AOL Mail - this is web mail, and well known to most users. You must have an account to send or receive.
- Delicious, Digg, Connotea, Buzz Up, StumbleUpon, Mister Wong, Folk-D, Backflip, Buzz, Lynki, Diigo. These are the social bookmarking sites. They work like the bookmarks in your browser. Every time you visit somewhere you rate highly, you add it to your collection of bookmarks. There are two big differences here: firstly - everyone else on the site can see your bookmarks and vice versa. Secondly the link back to that site is permanently available (not so on your browser bookmarks, which are only there when your computer is switched on and connected to the internet). The upshot is that the best sites can be rapidly shared and promoted. Like a chart, high-climbers are noted and attract a lot of attention. You discover the best sites on the web this way - and the best sites do well and continue to offer quality or interesting information. The 'social' web - Web 2.0 - which is a term often name-checked, but usually incorrectly. These are the best social bookmarking sites in rank order, from personal experience.
- Squidoo - deserves its own slot as it's trying to do something different and does it well. Squidoo is full of 'lenses' (where the 'squid' part comes in). These are mini-sites within the parent site, each about something of particular interest. Which can be anything. You don't have to be a programmer - you just need to have some creativity. You could lose hours browsing this site. A mini-Inside Guide to London Squidoo lens has been built and is ranking well. A link to the lens is published in the left-hand margin, under the title - 'Follow Us'.
- Slashdot, Technorati, Reddit - these are news sites. They like breaking stories about technical (especially web) subjects and are picky about what they publish. Understandable as they have the highest PageRank, which they don't distribute with wild abandon.
- Twitter - Micro-blogging service. You follow people, hopefully they'll follow you and you can send out very short update entries. Initially about what you're doing, but these days it's full of businesses touting their wares. The links are sites they want you to look at. For Twitter to work, you should have an interest - say, 'surfing' and mostly follow people with surfing interests. That way all the news, updates and links are about something you're interested in. Then you follow those links - e.g. tickets for an important event, boards on sale at half-price today only, pictures of today's surf in Maui, blogs abourt surfing, cheap flights, etc. It's about joining a community. Inside Guide to London is part of a small but growing Travel/Holiday community, so when a new part is added to the site, you tell your followers and you get a rush of traffic. It works, but getting thousands of followers all with different interests means that when you post, hardly anyone listens. Be wary of that
Can I add the Inside Guide to more than one site?
Sure. You can add it to as many as you like, though that would take more time. If you like what you see, share it around. Shape the way the web develops - which is the democratic nature of Web 2.0 in action.

RIM Begins BlackBerry 10 Lab Tests With Over 50 Carriers
Research In Motion Ltd. climbed the most in almost a month after saying that wireless carriers had begun lab-testing BlackBerry 10 phones worldwide, a sign the devices are on track for delivery early next year.
"In the last week, BlackBerry 10 achieved lab entry with more than 50 carriers -- a key step in our preparedness for the launch of BlackBerry 10 in the first quarter of 2013," Chief Executive Officer Thorsten Heins said in an e-mailed statement.
RIM shares climbed 4.7 percent to $7.93 at the close in New York, the biggest jump since Oct. 2. The stock has lost 61 percent of its value over the past 12 months.
Carrier testing typically takes 60 to 90 days, which means that RIM "should have no trouble making its first-quarter deadline," said Chris Umiastowski, an independent technology consultant who tracks the company. Ninety days from today would put the release in the late-January time frame.
Delivering the BlackBerry 10 on time is central to RIM's plan to win back market share from Apple Inc.'s iPhone and devices running Google Inc.'s Android software. Peter Misek, an analyst at Jefferies & Co., said earlier this month that the new phones may not come out until March -- a prediction that sent RIM shares tumbling more than 5 percent.
The exact timing of BB10 phones going on sale will be up to carriers in the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa, Chief Marketing Officer Frank Boulben said in September. It will hinge on how long they take to test the handsets.
Varied Times
"Lab entry at some carriers can take as little as six to nine weeks, and for some carriers, 16 to 20 weeks," he said at the time. "That explains with a carrier whether it will be January or February."
The BlackBerry 10 was delayed at least a year before the first-quarter release date was announced. Today's statement is a good signal that there won't be any more setbacks before the first BB10 devices are introduced, said Kevin Stadtler, president of Fort Worth, Texas-based Stadtler Capital Management, which owns about 40,000 RIM shares.
"The lab tests are incrementally positive and gets RIM closer to production units," he said.

Some abrasives are used in solid blocks, as in the case of knife-grinding stones; but coated abrasives such as sandpaper in which abrasive granules are stuck onto a carrier make more economic use of the material.
Sandblasting exemplifies a third technique in which abrasive particles are thrown against the workpiece in a stream of compressed air or steam. Sandblasting is used for cleaning buildings and engraving glass.

Hi everybody!
My name is Paloma. I live in Canada and I am originally from Peru. I am mother of two beautiful little boys, Enzo and Franco.
They bring the best out of me, and inspire me every single day. Prove of that inspiration is this project: "La tienda de Paloma".
It started as a hobby, and is not longer one, it has turned out to be one of the most successful and gratifying experiences I have ever embarked on.
My goal is to create a blend between classic crocheting and modern elements and colors to finally compose one innovative and playful collection.
"La tienda de paloma" is the result of long hours of no sleep, long hours trying and failing, and trying again. I will not stop until I feel completely satisfied with my work, and hopefully you will notice that.
This is me, my know-how, my time, my passion.
Don't forget to visit my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/latiendadepaloma
Have a look, and enjoy!
*** And for those who have asked me what "la tienda de paloma" means, that is 'Paloma's store" *** :)

The Character of Discrimination Law: The Incompatibility of Rule 404 and Employment Discrimination Suits
Lisa Marshall Manheim
University of Washington - School of Law
Yale Law Journal, Vol. 114, No. 5, p. 1063, 2005
This Note illustrates how violations of Rule 404 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (which prohibits litigants from relying on certain propensity proofs) occur routinely. It demonstrates that the ineffectiveness of the ban in the context of discrimination suits cannot be blamed on clever lawyers or negligent judges, but rather is a predictable consequence of the dearth of evidence available to discrimination plaintiffs. This Note concludes by arguing that this subtle but problematic incongruity justifies a reform of the Rule.

The conjecture was formulated that people who talk openly in group sessions revealing their secrets are also prone to display their bodies ("no cover-up"). Half the group consisted of patients, the other half were college students. The group leaders evaluated revealing and the group members answered questionnaires concerning background, social behavior, body display, lying, and conformity.
The conjecture was confirmed for the men, but not for the women. In women a correlation of disclosure and body display was found only in reference to the socially acceptable nudity during sexual intercourse. The following findings of the Kinsey reports were corroborated in spite of using a different technique and population: more exhibitionistic tendencies were found in men than in women, in those with higher education than with less education, and in those under 40 compared to older people.

On Sunday, sandwiched between a Bournonville pas de deux and a hapless performance of Balanchine's "Theme and Variations" (neither of which is remotely new) came the revival of Angelin Preljocaj's "La Stravaganza," which was new in 1997, and Christopher Wheeldon's "After the Rain" duet, which was new four years ago. The only new "new work" was Douglas Lee's "Lifecasting," and its novelty is overrated.
It might be argued that the combination of these works is new, since previously it had occurred to no one to assemble this miscellany. The works were chosen, lamely, because of their choreographers' nationality. Some grew up in the countries "most closely associated" with the late ballet star Rudolf Nureyev -- Russia, France and England. Yet Nureyev held Austrian citizenship and also toured famously with the National Ballet of Canada; Preljocaj is of Albanian parentage; and Lee dances with Germany's Stuttgart Ballet. Bournonville, a Dane, doesn't fit on the list.
More sensibly, because the Rudolf Nureyev Dance Foundation has endowed a Fund for Emerging Choreographers at City Ballet, the evening opened with films showing Nureyev in thrilling performances of "Flower Festival at Genzano" and "Le Corsaire."
The live version of "Genzano" that followed did not so much invite comparisons as it attested to the ongoing life of ballet's classical tradition. Young corps dancers Kathryn Morgan and Allen Peiffer both danced crisply, and Morgan displayed a strength and intelligence that bode well.
City Ballet last performed "La Stravaganza" in 2002, inspiring false hope that the ballet might not return. No invention of movement redeems the utter silliness of its plot, in which a rift in time appears so a group of modern teenagers can hang out with their 17th-century peers. The leg-nuzzling and arm nibbling that go on are certainly no excuse. Then, this being Preljocaj, there must be a rape. As the time rift is about to close, a 17th-century boy (Benjamin Millepied) abducts a modern girl (Tiler Peck). When the ballet returns to its beginning, Peck's reappearance creates a disconcerting temporal loop. Someone should return Preljocaj to his home galaxy.
"Lifecasting" begins more promisingly. Robert Fairchild dances a sinuous solo while around him dancers stand, lean or lie on one side in a frozen tableau. These others then begin to move at varying speeds. Both the spatial organization, which is balanced and clear, and the slow yet vital movement are appealing.
The scene becomes more dramatic as a group coalesces suddenly. In ensuing trios and duets, the women twist and stretch. Yet all this writhing begins to seem pointless. Individuals come and go, entering and exiting from a trench upstage. This device startles at first, but grows to seem so casual the dancers might be taking bathroom breaks.
A single moment stands out for its sheer classical beauty: Adrian Danchig-Waring with his leg pointed skyward in "arabesque penche." Nureyev was remembered.

NEW YORK -- Vic Black underwent an MRI today and learned he has a slightly herniated disc in his neck. He will miss several days before returning to the Mets, he said.
It is positive news for the club and for the reliever. Black expects to finish the season out after taking several days off and then will rest in the offseason to let the injury heal.
"It shouldn't be a big deal," he said.
Black had experienced stiffness in his neck and was sent for the examination to see if it was anything greater. There is no effect on his arm but Black says that the injury makes it uncomfortable to throw.
Black first felt it flare up last week in Oakland but last pitched Sunday in Los Angeles. He said he has battled a similar injury in the past.
He was placed on the seven-day disabled list earlier this season in Triple-A in Las Vegas after first feeling it while washing his hair.
He said there are bone spurs on several vertebrae, causing irritation and allowing him to be bothered by it at unexpected times.
Josh Edgin is also recovering from injury. He did not pitch Tuesday and Wednesday because of bone spurs in his left elbow, which Terry Collins said was more to blame for his absence, not structural damage.
Edgin says he is also suffering from tendinitis in that pitching elbow.
He will play catch Thursday.

Last week at the American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) Convention in Raleigh, I sat in on Rahaf Harfoush's presentation on how the Obama campaign used social media, websites and email to connect to and engage voters during the 2008 Presedential Election.
She explained several ways that the campaign created online connections to facilitate offline actions by voters. These included extensive use of technology and social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, a dedicated social network, an iPhone app and many others.
When she got to email, she stressed the key to their success: Hyper-Segmentation
The campaign delivered different messages to voters based on:
- State
- Interests on certain issues (indicated when opting in to emails)
- Donation history
By carefully crafting messages for people and keying on their location, interests and history, they could make each email extremely relevant. This helped make the recipient feel that the campaign truly knew who they were and that the issues discussed were happening right in their backyard.
Are you segmenting your email communications to your members? Can you deliver relevant messages to your members so they feel like your chamber of commerce understands them and is working to serve their needs? Can you make your messages personal?
I've mentioned segmentation on this blog before, but the concept bears repeating since many chambers of commerce are just now realizing the power of segmentating communications to help increase member satistaction and retention and generate new member sales.
Ways you can segment your members include:
- Employee count
- Business category
- Interests (collected through your website or membership application)
- Dues amount
- Length of membership
- NAICS code
- Previous event attendance
So, when you send out emails to members about how certain issues affect their business, why not break that email into two or more versions? Send one email to members with 1-50 employees, and include quotes from similarly-sized business stating how the issues affect them. Then rework the email for the members with 50+ employees with a different take on the issues.
You can do this for just about every email you send to members using any number of ways to segment. Try to make your "blast" emails seem like you sat down and typed out a note to each of your members individually. By carefully crafting your messages, you'll end up demonstrating more value to your members.
This issue was highlighted recently by Ben Wolf, IOM, vice president of member services at the Nashville Area (TN) Chamber of Commerce in his article in ACCE's Chamber Executive, "
Are You Effectively Communicating Your Value? Make it Personal." (Congratulations to the Nashville Chamber for being recognized by ACCE as the top Chamber in the country for their dues range. The Nashville Chamber is a WebLink International client!) :-)
In the article, Wolf states, "Communicating value is not just about delivering a standard message. It's about identifying what one perceives as valuable. It's not just what is said, but how it is said that makes the difference. It is tailoring a specific, targeted message to a targeted audience member." Excellent advice.
Know your members though data collection and management
Segment your members for greater member intelligence
Communicate your value by using segmentation and knowledge gained from your data
Obviously, the key here is membership management software or a customer relationship management system that allows you to collect your members' interests and other demographic information and easily export that for use with email and other communications. Find ways to input AND extract this information in your database and use it to deliver targeted, relevant communications.
And...why stop at email? You could create different versions of postcards, letters, mailings....even your printed newsletter, to deliver relevant messages to your members.
Happy segmenting!

CFK blames looting and violence on political and union groups interested in destabilization
Argentine President Cristina Fernández said on Thursday evening that the looting and ransacking of supermarkets that killed four people last week were provoked by "political and union sectors" to destabilize her Government.
"What they tried to do was a decadent version, a cheap copy of what happened in historic moments of the country. This has happened before: looting, violence and destabilization of a Government with a history" she emphasized during a speech at Government House.
The Head of State urged those who are against her administration "to protest in peace, respecting the rights of citizens, without robbing store owners" and "to form their political parties and win elections" but not taking advantage of the needy or the marginalized.
"There are sectors that were not able to gather votes so they have to resort to do this. What happened is a parody of December 19 and 20 back in 2001, when the country was actually on fire. And they tried to do the same in a completely different political scenario" said Cristina Fernandez.
"Let's suppose that we did not create jobs, that we did not have the universal child allowance or that we did no hand out notebooks … Did you see this happening in any other part of the world? No. People protest because that is a legitimate tool, but looting and the grouping between political and union sectors with poor people has nothing to do with politics or Peronism," she added.
Cristina Fernandez then made a quick overview of similar looting and rioting in recent years since the country returned to democracy.
"There is an instructions booklet for looting, violence and destabilization which has several years' history and the first chapter was at the end of the government of then President Ricardo Alfonsín", said the Argentine president.
"With Alfonsin the involved were political sectors and the Peronist Party, we all know that", admitted the president who then added that the episodes of December 2001, "leaving aside the errors and horrors of police repression, it was evident that there were organizers behind the violent protests".
And something similar was attempted on this opportunity but in a social and political scenario which is completely different from then and "even if we had a situation such as in 2001, looting is not spontaneous. It is the articulation of political and trade union sectors with violence".
"Maybe they think this way they can win elections. They have a right to protest but peacefully without trespassing or abusing rights, and to make it even easier they can organize a political party", said Cristina Fernandez.
This was the first time the head of state talked about the looting and rioting that extended to several provinces and the main cities of Argentina last Thursday and Friday. She spent Christmas with her family in Santa Cruz, but was briefed extensively on the incidents.
Cristina Fernandez also called on provincial governors regarding law and order. "Having to send the Gendarmerie from one place to another despite the fact that governors have their own police forces is something that needs re-thinking".
In related news also on Thursday the Criminal Cassation Court confirmed a stay of proceedings on ex-president Fernando De la Rúa over the siege incidents that took place in December, 2001 that saw 30 people die.
The court ruled unanimously that you cannot try to make someone responsible for someone else's behaviour, when it has been proven that the person was unaware of the alleged power abuse that his inferiors had incurred during the siege.

Culminating more than a year of negotiations with a cast of high-powered lawyers, Pennsylvania State University on Monday announced that it would pay nearly $60 million to settle claims with 26 people who say they were sexually abused by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
The university's board of trustees had approved paying up to $60 million earlier this year, and the tab came to $59.7 million, the university said in a news release.
The first multimillion-dollar settlement, with a 25-year-old man who was abused in a campus shower, was announced in mid-August. University officials predicted at that time that 25 more settlements would soon follow as part of a global agreement.

Perhaps on one point regarding the natural gas impact fee, local House members agree: It is not a perfect piece of legislation.
But state Rep. Rick Mirabito, D-Williamsport, who opposed the bill, said it would be wrong to call it a compromise.
"This bill was a great bill for certain people," he said. "For the general public, this was bad policy."

Mirabito said under the legislation, which passed through both Houses this week, citizens are being treated like second-class citizens.
From the perspective of both giving up local control on zoning and raising revenues, people are losing out, he said.
State Reps. Garth Everett, R-Muncy, and Matthew E. Baker, R-Wellsboro, who voted in favor of the measure, disagree.
"The statement that it takes all municipal control away is not true," Everett said.
Yes, he said, the bill does restrict local zoning. But municipalities cannot simply ban drilling, which, he said, is what many people opposed to this legislation would like to see.
A number of environmental groups made it clear they are opposed to the impact fee, which passed through the House 101-90, with most Republicans supporting the measure and most Democrats opposing it.
The Sierra Club, Clean Water Action, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Earthworks, PennEnvironment and Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania circulated a letter this week outlining their opposition.
Among their statements was that the Legislature "effectively supported a takeover of municipalities by the state and the gas industry by gutting established and effective local planning and zoning rights."
Baker said many more conservation groups supported the measure. He disagreed that the legislation, in effect, surrenders local zoning control.
"Without this legislation, I don't think there was any control," he said. "I think the opposition feels it didn't go far enough."
The bill would require municipalities to open drilling in all zones, including residential. However, it also would allow municipalities to apply zoning standards on lighting, noise and structures used for other industrial activities.
Mirabito said in other states with natural gas drilling, such as Texas, local zoning has not been compromised.
Despite what some people argue, the gas industry should not be treated like any other industry, he contended.
"We don't stick industry just anywhere," he said. "When someone bought a home, they didn't expect to have a compressor station near their house. There is a way to have balance to it."
Everett said the drilling simply must be done in those sites where the gas is located.
Much of the money from the fee would go to environmental improvement, noted Everett and Baker. It also would go to infrastructure improvement, purchase of natural gas-powered fleet vehicles, construction of affordable housing, development of a petrochemical refinery in southwestern Pennsylvania, and reuse of three Philadelphia-area oil refineries.
Mirabito said the environment cannot be compromised and, although drillers may not be out to intentionally destroy nature, gas spills and other accidents will happen.
The state Department of Environmental Protection already has less resources for regulating the industry.
Was it any coincidence, he asked, that the number of gas wells operating in the state was under-counted by about 500?
"Are there other things we don't know about?" he said. "I have complete respect for DEP, but people are human. You can only do so much."
Under the impact fee, some $180 million would be raised in the first year and an estimated $1 billion during the first five years, according to Republicans.
The fee, in effect over 15 years, would amount to a tax rate of about 3 percent by some estimates but would fluctuate according to gas prices.
Mirabito said the state could have imposed a fee that would bring in much more revenue. Additional dollars, he said, would better compensate local municipalities impacted by drilling.
Baker warned against imposing too expensive fees on drillers. After all, he said, there is competition for natural gas, not only in western Pennsylvania and Ohio, but worldwide.
Besides, gas companies already are paying taxes, compensating municipalities for damage to roads from truck traffic and bringing the state thousands of jobs.
Mirabito argued that the drillers aren't going anywhere and pointed out that gas companies have deep pockets.
The chief executives of the six major gas companies, he noted, were handed bonuses totalling $64 million in 2010.
"People are going to say this was a great compromise. It was not a compromise," he said. "I have never gotten as many emails on a subject as I got on this, asking me to oppose this."
He called the legislation a "backroom deal" hashed out by the legislative leadership.
State Sen. E. Eugene Yaw, R-Loyalsock Township, who voted in favor of the bill, could not be reached for comment.

I wouldn't install any suse 10.X on this hardware. Perhaps a very
light-weight graphics shell (so not kde/gnome) is possible with these
versions, which is not an improvement for you. Perhaps a suse 9.2 or 9.3
could work on the P3/750 with a reasonable response.
If you also start vmware with a windows OS you're out of luck anyway. This
will not work on any of these machines. You call linux +
vmware/windows 'not heavy duty'?

Taylor Swift: I Can Fall in Love Easily
But despite writing songs about failed relationships, Swift, 22, who has enjoyed a summer of love with Conor Kennedy, 18, keeps smiling and remains positive about dating.
The songstress believes in love "even after it explodes into a million pieces and burns down and you're standing in a pile of the ash of what it once was thinking, 'Why did I have to meet this person, why did this have to happen?' " she tells November's U.K. edition of Marie Claire.
"But then, when you make eye contact with someone across the room and it clicks and, bam, you're there. In love again," she says.
Asked if she falls for people she likes "easily," Swift replies, "Not if it's the wrong person, yes if it's the right person."
Sometimes that "wrong person" can end up being the subject of a tune – and she makes no apology for continuing to write about her boyfriends, adding that she doesn't warn them that they may end up immortalized in song.
"Well, it's not like it's in fine print," she tells the magazine. "But music is absolutely everything that I am and everything that I stand for. It's not my fault if someone gets into a relationship with me and then cheats and I write a song about it."

WARREN - A Delaware Avenue couple is looking for a new neighborhood after their house was riddled with gunshots and their car set ablaze early Tuesday morning.
Police arrived about 4 a.m. at 629 Delaware to find a 2000 Ford engulfed in flames and spent .223-caliber shell casings strewn over the ground near the house, according to reports.
''We're alive, and that's all that matters,'' Tonya Davis said later Tuesday. ''It was just a random act of violence.''
The couple emerged from the house to tell police they had rolled out of their bed onto the floor when they heard the shots. A police report said several holes were found in the south and west sides of the house, while Tonya Davis' sister, Tammy Sladewski, said all but the back side of the house had been shot.
"It was like they walked around the house and shot up all sides," she said. "If they hadn't been laying flat in their bed, they wouldn't be with us today."
Sladewski said one of the many bullet holes entered the couple's bedroom just above the headboard of their bed.
The police report states that police recovered 17 shell casings and there were bullet holes in the front door, windows and interior walls of the residence. Sladewski said they were nickel-sized and that one bullet went through two interior walls.
The burning vehicle caused heat damage to the house, and Sladewski said the TV, several family photos and some dressers were damaged. While the police report lists the cause of the car fire as unknown, Sladewski said the smell of gasoline is strong in the driveway.
Jargel Davis told police he does not know who would do this.
The couple are staying with family until they find permanent residence elsewhere, Sladewski said. She said she found it frustrating that so many neighbors came outside for the TV cameras but that nobody seems to know anything.
''When it happens to them, they'll want somebody like my sister to be there for them, but now nobody knows anything,'' she said.
Sladewski said her sister is disabled and Jargel is looking for work. They had just purchased the vehicle and now must rely on family and friends for transportation.
''This world is crazy, people have no common courtesy for other people's lives,'' she said. ''It's a crying shame that you can't go to a movie or put your 8-year-old child to bed without worrying about them getting shot. Its a crying shame there are people in the world like that.''
Sunday night, someone fired through a window at a home on Hamilton Street S.W. on Sunday night.
And earlier this month a Parkman Road N.W. woman was shot in the head by a stray bullet while she was sleeping. Pamela Dial, 43, has been at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland since the shooting.

Insight & Intelligence : Jan 6, 2012
Biopharma IPO Forecast for 2012 Expected to Remain Chilly
In a survey of venture capitalists and CEOs, 58% predict reduced investment.!--h2>
The biopharma IPO market is showing some signs of life heading into 2012, but conditions in and outside the markets continue to worry several observers. Most remain pessimistic about the prospects for a rebound by first-time public biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
"My expectation is that the IPO market will not dramatically improve next year, and the reality is, the IPO market has been abysmal for the last 10 years," Mike Carusi, general partner with Advanced Technology Ventures, told GEN. "This isn't a one-year issue. We have not seen a robust IPO market across the board since 1999–2000. That's what has made venture financing so very challenging. We live and die by a healthy IPO market. And without that, it just limits the number of opportunities we have to exit our companies."
Those views are gloomier than the one being offered by G. Steven Burrill who projects a total 25 biotechs worldwide will complete IPOs in 2012, compared with 16 counted by Burrill for 2011. "Biotech companies will continue to go public in choppy markets where they will grab opportunities as they arise."
Experts' Predictions
Carusi noted that there are several exogenous factors that impact the IPO markets. "Next year may be a little better but it is unlikely to be much better." He pointed to Europe's ongoing economic volatility as well as the upcoming election year and the ongoing political stalemate on how to reduce the national debt in the U.S. "As a result, people are very reluctant to invest in companies that are early stage and have a high degree of risk associated with them because they don't have revenues yet."
Echoing Carusi is Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), who told GEN: "I think it's hard to imagine that you're suddenly going to start to see a wide opening of the IPO market and one that will sustain companies that do go public at the prices that companies want them to be at."
Heesen and Carusi spoke days after NVCA and DowJones VentureSource released results from a survey conducted late last year of more than 500 venture capitalists and CEOs of venture-backed companies in the U.S. Eighteen percent predicted an increase in the volume of life science IPOs, while 7% of those respondents expected an increase in the amount of money invested in those biopharma IPOs. Biopharma IPO market optimists might also take comfort from the finding that 19% of VCs expect the same amount of money to be invested in the industry's newly public companies, while 15% were not sure.
But it's hard to spin the overall pessimism of VCs, 58% of which expect reduced investment in biopharma IPOs in 2012. Indeed a 57% majority do not expect any improvement in the performance of venture-backed IPOs, whether in biopharma or any other sector. And while almost half of CEOs predict increases in 2012, the percentage slipped from 58% who made a similar forecast a year ago.
Firms that Would Like to Go Public
A spot-check of the biopharma IPO pipeline by GEN found the following companies planning to sell their first stock in the new year after filing registration statements with the US Securities and Exchange Commission during 2011, but none have yet set initial share prices or amounts of shares to be traded:
Health of Public Markets
The companies and especially their prospective investors will have a better feel for the health of the market as each company works out key details of their IPOs. Of the 29 biopharma IPOs launched over the past two years, 19 were forced to lower their share prices from initial estimates. Of the remaining 10 IPOs, five priced at the low end of their ranges, two at the middle of their ranges, two at the high end, and only one surpassed its initial price range altogether.
Another way to measure the health of the biopharma IPO market for this year will be to see how many companies backtrack on plans to go public. Since 2010, six biopharmas have withdrawn their IPOs. Ambit Biosciences, Agendia, Clarus, and Quark Pharmaceuticals all found the market more difficult than anticipated, while Rules-Based Medicine took Myriad Genetics' $80 million acquisition offer after its own withdrawal, and Advanced BioHealing found a $750 million buyout by Shire too tempting to resist.
"What ends up happening is that the very best companies that don't have to go public—i.e., they have other ways of raising capital—they don't go public," Carusi pointed out. "Those companies that do go public are those that need the capital and may have a syndicate of investors who are tired or not able to continue to fund the company or who have other factors for why they choose the lesser outcome."
Absent a dramatic change in conditions that have dampened the overall public markets and a turnaround in investor confidence, the biopharma IPO market this year will likely continue a slow thaw. But it's not likely to be enough to pull it out of the deep freeze in which it has been since the onset of the most recent recession in 2007.

Clemson Extension horticulturalist Mark Arena found the unexpected on a recent outing in the Francis Marion National Forest: a Berkeley's polypore mushroom.
"I've never seen one in my 10 years of doing these hunts," he said. "I've shown it to a lot of people here, and it's just very unusual."
The specimen weighs 28 Lbs., considerably larger than the majority of the species that range from 15 to 30 Lbs., Arena said. Its huge size can be attributed to the heavy rainfall and the large size of the infection in the tree on which it grew.
Arena found the mushroom four weeks ago. He checked back once per week for mold that indicated the mushroom was done growing. After finding mold on his last visit, he harvested the foul-smelling fungus.
"The smell was so pungent that I had to roll down all of the windows on the way home," he said with a laugh. "They're technically edible if you're cautious, but I'm not going to be the one to taste it."
Berkeley's polypores are both decomposers and parasitic, rare for a mushroom. Arena has another use in mind, porch décor.
"When it dries out, it loses 80 percent of its weight and makes for an interesting outdoor art piece. It's a pretty good conversation starter."
People who find a Berkeley's polypore in their yard should immediately contact the International Society of Arboriculture at www.isa-arbor.com or they could be at risk of a fallen tree.

The Utah Jazz welcomed the San Antonio Spurs to EnergySolutions Arena on Wednesday night.
Winners of three straight, the Jazz needed some late-game heroics from Mo Williams to extend that streak.
And the 6'1" Williams delivered with an on-target dagger from deep over the outstretched arms of the 6'6" Danny Green.
Utah appeared to have enough time to get something going toward the basket. With the game tied at 96, they only needed a two to win.
But Williams had other ideas, even if it wasn't his best basketball decision:
Literally no one on Earth besides Mo Williams though that was a good shot besides him and he nailed it.— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) December 13, 2012
Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good.
Of course, the thing about luck is that it brings no guarantees:
Jazz are going to go back to that shot down 0-2 in Utah in five months and will be so confused with the result.— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) December 13, 2012
It may not be a winning method for the Jazz going forward, but it worked on this night, as Utah outlasted San Antonio, 99-96, for the win.

Purpose of review: To guide the optimal fluid management during cesarean delivery. The article focuses on fluid management to prevent hypotension during cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia and excludes obstetric hemorrhage.
Recent findings: The literature underlines that crystalloid preloading is ineffective or poorly effective to prevent spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery. Crystalloid coloading is better but the effectiveness reported is variable and may depend on the volume used and the speed of administration at onset of sympathetic blockade. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) preloading is more consistently effective in reducing the incidence and severity of hypotension. HES coloading appears as effective as HES preloading. Because none of these fluid-loading methods is completely effective at preventing hypotension, some sort of prophylactic vasopressor regimen should always be added. Routine fluid loading is no longer advocated prior to spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery in preeclampsia and should be used with caution in women with multiple gestations.
Summary: Current evidence suggests that combining a prophylactic vasopressor regimen with HES preloading, HES coloading or crystalloid coloading is the best method of preventing maternal hypotension after the initiation of spinal anesthesia. Crystalloid preloading is clinically ineffective and thus should no longer be used.

Deliberate Practice: Becoming a Better Investor
(from one of my favorite films: Searching for Bobby Fischer)
In 2009, Charlie Munger recommended Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers which studiers outliers throughout history and discipline to find commonalities. One of the ideas professed by Gladwell is a 10,000 hour rule, where if you want to master something you must practice it for at least 10,000 hours. Gladwell uses the Beatles as evidence of this rule, pointing out that their time in Germany was spent constantly performing live which helped them gain the mastery needed to become great musicians when playing concerts and on TV.
The folks over at Study Hacks find that in chess, to become a grandmaster, you do not just need to spend 10,000 hours practicing chess. You must also spend those hours doing the right kind of work or deliberate practice.
1. It's designed to improve performance. "The essence of deliberate practice is continually stretching an individual just beyond his or her current abilities. That may sound obvious, but most of us don't do it in the activities we think of as practice."
2. It's repeated a lot. "High repetition is the most important difference between deliberate practice of a task and performing the task for real, when it counts."
3. Feedback on results is continuously available. "You may think that your rehearsal of a job interview was flawless, but your opinion isn't what counts."
4. It's highly demanding mentally. "Deliberate practice is above all an effort of focus and concentration. That is what makes it 'deliberate,' as distinct from the mindless playing of scales or hitting of tennis balls that most people engage in."
5. It's hard. "Doing things we know how to do well is enjoyable, and that's exactly the opposite of what deliberate practice demands."
6. It requires (good) goals. "The best performers set goals that are not about the outcome but rather about the process of reaching the outcome."
If you're in a field that has clear rules and objective measures of success — like playing chess, golf, or the violin — you can't escape thousands of hours of DP if you want to be a star. But what if you're in a field without these clear structures, such as knowledge work, writing, or growing a student club?
…It seems, then, that if you integrate any amount of DP into your regular schedule, you'll be able to punch through the acceptable-level plateau holding back your peers. And breaking through this plateau is exactly what is required to train an ability that's both rare and valuable (which, as I've argued, is the key to building a remarkable life).
This motivates a crucial question: What does DP look like for fields that don't have a tradition of performance-optimization, such as knowledge work, freelance writing, entrepreneurship, or, of course, college?
The Grandmaster in the Corner Office: What the Study of Chess Experts Teaches Us about Building a Remarkable Life (Study Hacks)
For any investor seeking to become better, deliberate practice is essential. The key is figuring out what deliberate practice should consist of in investing. Most of us read newspapers and blogs daily. This helps keep up to date with what is going on in the world. But is that enough? I am not too sure.
I think that taking a more active approach with news reading would be helpful. Recently, the Wall Street Journal ran an article about how David Tepper bought Bank of America stock at its low. A good exercise would be to actually sit around and try to reverse engineer that investment. Eddie Lampert has said that in college he reverse engineered many of Warren Buffett's investment. This kind of activity would not only increase your understanding of investing but also build a model for you to look at if you ever find a similar investment.
Other investors strive to read one 10K a day. This can help build your circle of competence, but I believe it has some shortcomings. A more targeted approach with 10Ks will be more beneficial than simply jumping from reading about Exxon to reading about Bank of America. You should define goals where you are mastering knowledge of a specific industry or area of the market.
Maybe you want to learn the billboard/outdoor advertising business. Instead of looking at just Lamar Advertising (NASDAQ:LAMR) you would look at Clear Channel Outdoors (NYSE:CCO) as well. If you want to master restaurants, you would maybe start at a fast food company like McDonalds (NYSE:MCD) which is the best in its class. Then seek out Chipotle (reputed to have the best economics in the fast food business) and branch out so that you build familiarity with the industry which will help you evaluate lesser known companies like Steak N Shake (NYSE:SNS).
Feel free to use the comments or e-mail me with suggestions for implementing deliberate practice in investing.
