After listening to a year of gruesome evidence, 12 jurors are expected to retire tomorrow to consider their verdict on two men accused of the Snowtown murders.
The trial of John Bunting, 36, accused of the serial killing of 12 people, and Robert Wagner, 31, accused of eight, is the biggest and most expensive criminal trial in South Australian history.
Legal costs reached $17 million in June this year and included funding legal teams for the accused.
Wagner, a former lover of one of the victims, transsexual Barry Lane, pleaded guilty to three murders, including that of Lane, before the trial began last October.
Three jurors, two women and a man, were excused during the year by Supreme Court judge Brian Martin, who had installed 15 jurors to safeguard the trial against juror loss.
The decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Paul Rofe, QC, to prosecute Bunting on 12 counts of murder and Wagner on eight counts was welcomed yesterday by Adelaide University criminal law lecturer Ian Leder-Elliott. He said it had been more common for prosecutors to select the strongest case in relation to one or two murders. Mr Leder-Elliott said the change showed the increased recognition of the need to give victims their due.
The trial followed the discovery in May 1999 of eight dismembered bodies in barrels in a disused bank vault in Snowtown, 140 kilometres north of Adelaide, and the discovery two days later of two bodies in a suburban backyard.
Another man whose body was found hanging from a tree also became part of the murder count, as did the remains of a young man whose bones were discovered in 1994 but were identified five years later.
South Australia's first fully electronic courtroom was established to deal with the evidence, which included more than 1000 exhibits and resulted in 16,000 pages of court transcript. Two hundred and twenty-eight witnesses were called, many related to the alleged killers and the victims.
Among them was the Crown's key witness James Vlassakis, 23, the heroin-addicted son of Bunting's partner. He pleaded guilty to four murders and is serving a 26-year non-parole period.
The jury is expected to be out for at least two days.

Global Hot Drinks Industry
The global hot drinks industry is expected to maintain close to 20% yearly growth between 2009 and 2014 to reach almost $81.5 billion, reports MarketLine. In terms of volume, the industry is forecast to expand at a yearly rate of 12% to exceed 6 billion kilograms.
Overall, the global hot drinks market is characterized by fragmentation, with the three leading companies holding a combined market share of less than 23%.
More specifically, the world's coffee and tea market is expected to reach almost $70 billion by 2015, according to Global Industry Analysts. In terms of volume, the market should hit close to 11 million tons in the same year. Market growth is being fuelled by heightened awareness as to the health benefits of tea, while coffee demand is being increasingly marketed as a luxurious and stylish product. Coffee is also benefiting from rising global affluence and higher greater per capita consumption, with developing countries in particular promising vast growth potential.
Hot Beverage Market Key Segments
Coffee is the world's most preferred beverage. Global Industry Analysts estimates more than 400 billion cups of coffee are consumed yearly. Traditionally considered a daily habit, coffee consumption has risen in the public eye to a healthy lifestyle choice, forming a vital part of many consumers' daily rituals. Consumption and trade are expected to grow in recovering economies. Over coming years, penetration in developing markets will continue, production acreage will rise and pricing will continue witnessing a degree of fluctuation.
Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer. The country's coffee consumption rose 5% in 2010, more than double the global average increase of 2%. Coffee consumption in India and China is rising due to an expanding middle class consumer base and a rising number of young professionals in the workforce. Rising disposable incomes are fuelling increased coffee consumption in other markets such as Russia, Ukraine and a number of Middle Eastern countries, promising strong short-to-medium market expansion.
Hot Drinks Industry Leaders
Kraft Foods is the world's top hot drinks company, producing almost 10% of market volume, reports MarketLine. Other leading companies operating in the global hot drinks market include Starbucks, Nestle, Parry Agro, Strauss Group, Unilever, Van Houtte, Maxingvest, Tata Global Beverages, Hindustan Unilever and Tata Tetley.
Regional Hot Beverage Market Share
NAFTA countries combined to generate more than $11,000 million from hot drinks in 2009, reports MarketLine. Mexico represented the country with the fastest growth at a yearly rate of 6% between 2005 and 2009. The US hot drinks market dominates in terms of revenue, generating close to $10 billion in 2009; it is forecast to generate closer to $11 billion in 2014, remaining the largest contributor among NAFTA countries.
China's hot drinks industry was worth close to $10.5 billion in 2009, according to research from MarketLine. Tea sales represented the leading market segment generating just under $10 billion, accounting for almost 97% of the overall market. Market growth is expected to slow to a yearly rate of just over 6.5% between 2009 and 2014, bringing the market to just over $14 billion.

Nebraska Misdemeanor Crimes by Class and Sentences
A misdemeanor crime is less serious than a felony. Nebraska has seven classes of misdemeanors: Class I through Class V misdemeanors, a Class IIIA misdemeanor and a Class W misdemeanor. Class I and Class W are the most serious misdemeanors.
For information about felonies, see Nebraska Felony Crimes by Class and Sentences.
Class I Misdemeanors
Some examples of Class I misdemeanors in Nebraska are identity theft (if the value gained is less than $200), impersonating a peace officer, and assault in the third degree.
Class II Misdemeanors
Hazing, second degree criminal trespass, and passing a bad check in an amount less than $200 are Class II misdemeanors in Nebraska.
Class III Misdemeanors
Class III misdemeanors include theft of property valued at $200 or less, littering, a first reckless driving offense, and possession of marijuana (more than one ounce but less than one pound).
Class IIIA Misdemeanors
A repeat offense of owning a dangerous dog and a third offense of possession of one ounce or less of marijuana are Class IIIA misdemeanors.
Class IV Misdemeanors
Class IV misdemeanors are not jailable offenses and include some agricultural crimes, some gambling offenses, harassment of a police animal, and purchase of a lottery ticket by a person under the age of 19.
Class V Misdemeanors
Class V misdemeanors also are not jailable offenses. The sale of a puppy or kitten under 8 weeks old without the animal's mother by an individual (not a shelter), smoking or using tobacco products under the age of eighteen, and obstructing entrance or exit from a polling place are Class V misdemeanors.
Class W Misdemeanor
Driving under the influence (first, second or third offense) is a Class W misdemeanor.
Possible Punishment for Misdemeanors in Nebraska
- Class I Misdemeanors – up to one year in jail or a fine up to $1,000, or both.
- Class II Misdemeanors – up to six months in jail or a fine up to $1,000, or both.
- Class III Misdemeanors – up to three months in jail or a fine up to $500, or both.
- Class IIIA Misdemeanors – up to seven days in jail or a fine up to $500, or both.
- Class IV Misdemeanors – a minimum fine of $100 or up to $500.
- Class V Misdemeanors – a fine of up to $100.
- Class W Misdemeanors – this penalty varies depending on whether the offender has been convicted of a first, second or third DUI offense, but the maximum possible sentence ranges from 60 days to one year in jail and a $500 to $1,000 fine.
Criminal Statute of Limitations
Nebraska law requires that a criminal prosecution begin within a certain amount of time after a crime is committed or believed to have been committed. This criminal statute of limitations limits the length of time the state can wait before filing charges against a person. The time limit for jailable misdemeanors in Nebraska is eighteen months and, for non-jailable misdemeanors, one year. For more information on the criminal statute of limitations, see Criminal Statute of Limitations in Nebraska.
The Value of Good Representation
A conviction for a misdemeanor in Nebraska can become part of your permanent criminal record. If you are convicted later of another crime, the court can consider your prior conviction and impose a harsher sentence in the new case. A conviction for even a minor crime can hurt you when you are looking for a job, applying to rent a house or apartment, or applying for a professional license. A person convicted of misdemeanor possession of an illegal substance – even a tiny amount for personal use only – can be barred from ever receiving federal financial aid for students.
An experienced attorney can determine whether you have any grounds for dismissal of the charges against you, explore plea options, or represent you at trial. Only someone familiar with the local criminal court system and cases like yours will know how good your chances are for a favorable outcome in court or at the negotiating table. A knowledgeable attorney will take all of this into consideration, assist you in making decisions about your case, and protect your rights.

Feature requests...
Jonathan Nelson stashed this in PandaWhale Mentions
Stashed in:
Just a few things that popped into my head today while posting:
The reply to topic text area, and the reply to reply text area is a little confusing for me. I don't know which one to post my reply in. Have we though about threaded vs unthreaded commenting systems?
Named URLS rather than id=153.
It would be nice to have a user's name seen under their thumbnail, or next to the comment they made. I find myself hovering over thumbnails a lot to check people's names.
URL shortening? URL truncating? In Django's templating system, you can truncate URLS in a comment to a certain number of characters. It would be nice to have that. I find my eye is drawn to the URL in a comment (because it's blue rather than black) rather than to the comment text.
Are there any plans for searchable Convos? At the moment it's relatively easy to find the convo you're looking for, but as this grows I imagine it'll get harder to do so and newcomers/lazy folks will want to quickly search for whatever it is they want...
Eventually not only will you be able to search for Convos, but you'll be able to search for people too! :)
This news makes my inner-stalker quite happy :)
Another feature that would be nice: expanding text box.
For those inclined to write a lot and then who happen to worry about what they say before they say it and do their own internalized editing before hitting the comment button (the edit button is nice for these types of folks, because it means that they can edit away to their heart's content in the event that they *still* manage to make a mistake) it'd be nice to see the entirety of their lack of brevity for the sake of clarity and thoroughness without having to scroll up and down.
Also, after editing the above text, I stumbled upon another feature that would be handy: seeing your basic editing tags around the text, because I threw in a bold up there and forgot to close it and then couldn't figure out where and kept making more bold text...which was not my initial intent.
Which I suppose just means it would have been nice to see where I'd forgotten to close it before deciding it wasn't necessary, for now.
Although when you edit, the box seems to expand on its own?
As opposed to regular commenting.
Like right now,
I see arrows to the right -->
And it doesn't make me feel all right.
Actually, we're currently working on having a text box that expands as you type. I share your pain, Liz. :)
To answer Jonathan's questions:
1) We're thinking through the commenting user interface to make it more intuitive.
2) Named URLs are coming soon.
3) User names under thumbnails gets cluttered but we're working on a good way to convey that information.
4. Truncating URLs is better than shortening URLs because we want users to be able to see where links lead. Authors can shorten links by using A HREF markup in comments.
And two-way syndication on Facebook and Twitter is coming soon so comments and at-replies in those services will be displayed here as well.
Crap. There were bogons on the ethernet when I was clicking the "Comment" button on my android phone. I clicked it a couple of times, and the results were kind of Egg-Salad-y. Tried to delete the comment via phone browser, and no luck. Probably more bogons.
I guess the yolk's on me.

How To: editing subtitles with subtitleeditor
Posted by chantra on 12th April 2006
In a previous article, I introduced gsubedit, a GNOME Subtitle Editor for linux using GTK. It was the best subtitles editor I'd ever found for linux.
Recently, I found a new project, that even it is quite young, has a lot to offer. Namely subtitleeditor. It supports any kind of subtitles format, allows you to move, change framerate and much more.
Here is an introduction to subtitleeditor.

General Question
Is my story good so far?
So I randomly decided to write a story. I would just like to know if it's good or would you actually read it. Also, it's a rough draft, so there is bound to be some mistakes. Thank you to anyone who answers!
I am staring solemnly out my bedroom window as they take her away. She is nothing but beautiful. Her posture, nothing less than perfect and her chestnut hair neatly swept up into a flawless bun. There was no need for resistance. She didn't fight back or beg them not to take her. She was collected as always as she kissed my brother and I on our foreheads and gave my father a quick kiss on the lips, which was all that she needed to do. There was no need for anything more than those simple gestures of affection. We knew without words that she loved us. With every heartbeat and with each step towards the car waiting for her outside, we knew she did not want leave. Yet, she had to go. How could we have done anything otherwise?
As the front door locked before me, shattering what would be the last memory of my mother that I would ever experience, I raced up to my bedroom. I sit here now watching them pack her into that dark gray car. They slam the door behind her as I look away. Venom is coursing through my veins, a venom only of regret. Regret that I was helpless before those officials who came to take my mother away. I wonder if my father feels the same regret; if he feels this venom too.
"Caroline?" my father says softly followed by a gentle knock on my door.
I don't want to talk, but I swallow hard and murmur, " It's open."
He quietly opens the door. His posture is slowly deteriorating with age, but he stands firm and collected, spread out to his full height of six foot four. I can see the wrinkles of age and hard work making a home in his tired face, but other than the wearing down of time he still looks just as handsome as when he had met my mother. He wears a blank look, but his eyes give his seemingly calm demeanor away. They are full of pain. Those deep golden orbs that express only his innermost thoughts, surrounded by baggy and aged skin, are left untouched by the stress and the burdens of life.
"Your mothe-," he choked on the word.
"Your mother wanted me to give you this," he sighed, his eyes searching a blue envelope that was tightly cradled in his left hand.
He handed it to me. I felt the smooth paper beneath my callused hands. As long as I can remember my hands have always been tainted with cuts and calluses due to my excessive garden work. Ever since the Morbus people have resorted to living off the land, farming whenever and wherever it was possible. For the past ten years of my life gardening has been the sole source of food for my family and the only way to keep away from the cities.
" What's in it?" I asked him as he glanced from me to the window that had recently given me the last glimpse of my mother I would ever receive. I stared quizzically at him as he furrowed his brow. A painful expression crossed his face.
" She left it strictly for you. After she knew that they would be coming for her she gave it to me along with instructions to give it to you after she would be taken. I don't know, Caroline," he whispered, tears threatening those golden eyes.

I do feel a bit stupid, but as most have realised by now, I lasted just a couple of weeks at Genting. Firstly, thanks to everyone who wished me well when I announced I'd gotten the job, I was really overwhelmed by it. So why did I quit?
The job title was 'Sales Manager'. Sales is a tricky one with me as I can do it well, but the idea of a pure sales job has never really interested me. However, things had gotten slow on the job front and the thought of working close to home was appealing, so when a recruitment agent called about the role I thought an application couldn't hurt.
Straight away they wanted to see me, great I thought, so I dusted off the suit and made my way to Richfield Avenue. It's funny as the Genting Casino in Reading (formally Maxims, Stanley, Tower etc...) was my first experience of proper gambling venue and I instantly fell in love. The place will always hold a soft spot for me.
I first met with the Casino Manager Jimmy Howard and their national recruitment manager. This preliminary interview was just to find out about me and see what I was like as a person. Talk about myself enthusiastically for 30 mins? No problem. I got a call back later the day for a second interview.
The second interview was trickier. Not only did I have Jimmy again scrutinising me but the regional marketing manager asking some very tricky questions. However, remember I said earlier I can do sales well? I smashed this interview into pieces, couldn't of done any better. It did leave me with some doubts thought if I was suitable for the role as I wasn't sure just how much sales was needed, as they hammed up my marketing experience and how useful it would be.
My mind was soon put to rest as I got the call that they wanted me for the role! I was overjoyed as this was my first traditionally secured job - what I mean by that is recruitment agent, interview, second interview, offer etc...
I went in for the first week and Jimmy told me he still wasn't quite convinced about me, but it was by far the best applicant they had and after next week I just had to prove myself.
So for the first week it was excellent. Swaggering around the Casino being introduced to all the staff and high rollers as a new manager, chatting to people with a sense of authority I've never had before, free meals and promises of other luxury, and all round fun experience.
Then the second week came, and the pressure started. Why wasn't I on the phone every day calling businesses to get them in? Why hasn't I made loads of sales already? Such and such who was in the office noticed you weren't on the phone etc... etc...
This was pressure like I'd never felt it. I mean I've been under a serious work load before, but this was corporate pressure, and I hated it.
Just before starting the job I'd received a call from another company (that will remain anonymous for now) offering me a project manager style role in poker, something I'd be much more suited too. They said if the job at Genting went wrong, to give them a call.
So with the pressure mounting, plus knowing a job I'd be much better at was out there but wouldn't be around for ever, I quit.
It was a surreal experience all around, but believe it or not, I did take several things away from the two weeks I was there.
1. A smart appearance goes a long way. So whatever job I land from now on, always expect a shirt and tie.
2. Straight talking gets the job done. I've always been one for babbling, but spending time with Jimmy the manager taught me just how a proper businessman works.
3. Good things can come from working with recruitment agencies.
So yes, expect another 'I got the job!' tweet coming soon, but expect this one to stick. Exciting times ahead!
Although this is the news most of you will find interesting, it certainly isn't the biggest news in my life recently. Last Saturday me and Anna got engaged! It seems like only yesterday we first met, but it was over 2 years ago now, and the time is definitely right for us to get married. I'm starting to feel 'wise' (old) and the need to build a home is really setting in.
So how did I propose?
Me and Anna have gotten into a bit of birdwatching recently due to seeing lots of different species in my families large garden. We took my Nan to a local bird sanctuary which was fun, so I announced I wanted to go to one in Canterbury, where Anna's family are. She said OK and we went stayed a night with her Aunt before setting off the next day for the bird sanctuary, but this just a ruse.
I'd actually booked the biggest suite of the first hotel we ever stayed in almost 2 years ago and she was so shocked as to why we were even there! I left her in the car while I picked up the keys and we drove the room. We walked in and she was gobsmacked by the size of the place, and when she turned around there I was on one knee.
We had a lovely night there and now have a wedding to plan. Gosh!
Anna looking beautiful with the ring and the roses from the room.
Speaking of weddings, my first close friend is getting married this weekend, by best mate Marc whose name you would of read in this blog over the years. It was a scary concept when he talked about the idea a couple of years ago, but now it's all starting to feel right. The wedding is at the Forest Of Arden hotel and golf course in Birmingham which is awesome. We checked it out last week and it was SO NICE being back on a golf course, I miss it so much.
The stag party was a couple of weeks ago in Cardiff, my first one ever! Really enjoyed it. First night was at a comedy club which was a big surprise, day 2 was paintballing which is always fun and go karting which I sucked at but enjoyed.
Have continued kickboxing at The Martial Arts School SW and am still loving it, now having gained my Yellow Belt after my first grading!
It was hard work but the grading system is excellent as it pushes you to work hard for the next belt. Am already well on my way to the next grade which is Yellow Belt Black Stripe.
My fitness level has also gone right up and I'm now ready to start grappling! I've been keen on learning Wrestling and BJJ for a couple of years now (ever since watching UFC) and TMAS's grappling system combines the two which is exciting. Bought a pair of MMA gloves and being the geek I am I had to find out who made gloves for the big organisations:
My newly purchased gloves.
Ouano have made gloves for UFC, WEC, Elite XC and many others fo the years, and also looking a bit like Pride gloves, I just had to have them. I've also bought all my protective gear so I can start sparring which is a little scary but something I have to do for my next belt.
Since my last blog there was a TV void left waiting for new seasons of Homeland, Breaking Bad and Walking Dead, so I finally took the plunge and started watching Lost. I'm half way through Season 5 and fans of the show will know how much my head is hurting right now. Fun though.
Me and Anna area also really into Storage Wars and American Pickers, so much so that we're going to try doing some gold digging ourselves, although I doubt it will pay off!
That's it for now. Thanks to everyone for your support, it does mean a lot. and I promise I'll soon be in an interesting position again!

The seller on amazon told me that the pink-black menu is coming with their new firmware... Dont know what to believe.
what does 1din differs from 2 dins?
also the alibaba website has so many chinese ones for focus 2012. They are almost all the same. They are just different brands (thought to be), may have different button functions and some are 7 inch (most are 8 inch). I believe they are all manufactured the same way.
one got any of those ready one consoles? Found some russian videos with some but cant understand a thing..
I have a titanium with 3.5 monochrome screen , it has bluetooth cruise control, 6 speakers and voice commands..
Also shall the usb, aux,line in ports in the cupboard work with those ready consoles?
I also want to get the OEM ones (especially the 8inch touch screen system! )but they are difficult to find
If someone could provide me with links ( including somewhere available to buy) of what to buy to upgrade to 5 inch colored screen i would be happy. Thus none said where to put the sd card for navigation!

Microsoft now pays users to search
The idea of search was to find a search engine you like (I only ever use Google) and then find what you looking for through them….but now Microsoft has introduced SearchPerks, which pays you to use their search engine. Apparently users who agree to download a program to track their search engine usage get tickets according to their usage which they can cash in on later or donate to charity.
Although earlier incentives haven't brought in the bucks yet, they are still trying. SearchPerks also aims to create brand awareness around Microsoft's search engine. Read what Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer has to say about their financial crisis on IOL Technology.
Microsoft has said it saw that users of the program performed three times the number of searches they had previously. Live Search Senior Director Frederick Savoye reckons that this kind of perk can change people's search behaviour over a period of time. You can read all about it on the cnet website.

Steamboat Springs Successful women in Steamboat Springs will lend themselves as examples to eighth-grade girls from around Routt County offering inspiration and tips on women's changing roles in the 21st century.
"Shining Lights Unite for a Bright Future" is the theme for this year's "Girls to Women, Women to Girls" seminar.
At the event, girls will learn from the women in their community how to successfully build self-esteem, how to plan for financial independence and how to enrich their lives.
"Women are there to talk about nurturing, teaching and remodeling," said middle school counselor Margi Briggs-Casson.
Girls from Steamboat Springs including the public middle school, Lowell Whiteman School and Christian Heritage School Hayden and south Routt will attend the career day. Select students from those schools also participated in a conference planning committee.
"The girls voted on the types of workshops they would like to attend, and they really built the theme," said Debbie Alpe, an adult member of the planning committee. "This was a facet of getting girls involved."
Girls, dressed in business casual attire, will meet with different women in the community, some who have learned to balance a career and a family and all of whom are successful.
"The presenters are focusing on the future and building balance in life," Alpe said.
An all-inclusive lunch workshop will allow girls and women to meet guest speaker Opalanga D. Pugh, who uses the African oral tradition of storytelling to teach people.
Pugh, a Denver native, fell in love with storytelling while visiting Nigeria as an exchange student in the 1970s. She received a bachelor's degree in communication.
The Women's Foundation of Colorado first sponsored the event in Vail in 1998 for Routt County students. Students and community volunteers have since organized the event in Steamboat.

- Publisher's Summary
- Raised in a South Boston housing project, James "Whitey" Bulger became the most wanted fugitive of his generation. In this riveting story, rich with family ties and intrigue, award-winning Boston Globe reporters Kevin Cullen and Shelley Murphy follow Whitey's extraordinary criminal career-from teenage thievery to bank robberies to the building of his underworld empire and a string of brutal murders. It was after a nine-year stint in Alcatraz and other prisons that Whitey reunited with his brother William "Billy" Bulger, who was soon to become one of Massachusetts's most powerful politicians. He also became reacquainted with John Connolly, who had grown up around the corner from the Bulgers and was now-with Billy's help-a rising star at the FBI. Once Whitey emerged triumphant from the bloody Boston gang wars, Connolly recruited him as an informant against the Mafia. Their clandestine relationship made Whitey untouchable; the FBI overlooked gambling, drugs, and even homicide to protect their source. Among the close-knit Irish community in South Boston, nothing was more important than honor and loyalty, and nothing was worse than being a rat. Whitey is charged with the deaths of nineteen people killed over turf, for business, and even for being informants; yet to this day he denies he ever gave up his friends or landed anyone in jail. Based on exclusive access and previously undisclosed documents, Cullen and Murphy explore the truth of the Whitey Bulger story. They reveal for the first time the extent of his two parallel family lives with different women, as well as his lifelong paranoia stemming in part from his experience in the CIA's MKULTRA program. They describe his support of the IRA and his hitherto-unknown role in the Boston busing crisis, and they show a keen understanding of his mindset while on the lam and behind bars. The result is the first full portrait of this legendary criminal figure-a gripping story of wiseguys and cops, horrendous government malfeasance, and a sixteen-year manhunt that climaxed in Whitey's dramatic capture in Santa Monica in June 2011. With a new afterword covering the trial, this book promises to become a true-crime classic.

Calamity: Despite repeated reassurances that ObamaCare website glitches were fixed, officials are frantically trying to repair massive problems that, by their own admission, could crush ObamaCare and the insurance industry.
Throughout December, administration officials said that they'd all but fixed the start-up problems with the ObamaCare exchange site, pointing to the sharp increase in enrollment that month as evidence. And as to those "back end" problems that sent erroneous information to insurers, they claimed to have cut the error rate to less than 1% by early December.
But hidden from view, administration officials were in a state of panic.
A procurement document posted on a federal website, but little noticed by the press, depicts an administration desperate to immediately replace CGI, the key contractor behind Healthcare.gov, with Accenture.
The need was so immediate, the document says, that the usual competitive bidding process had to be dispensed with. Why the urgency?
It turns out that after three years, CGI still hadn't built the "financial management platform" needed to track eligibility and enrollment, account for subsidy payments, and produce accurate "risk adjustment" forecasts.
As a result, the document says, "the entire healthcare reform program is jeopardized."
Failure to get this platform built in time, it said, could result in "erroneous payments to providers and insurers." And that, in turn, "could seriously put (health plans) at financial risk, potentially leading to their default."
In addition, the inability to forecast risk adjustment payments — a critical feature of ObamaCare — would put "the entire health insurance industry at risk." The officials' words, not ours.
Worse, they have only until mid-March — 31 business days from now — to get this "core functionality" built.
Yet even when announcing the contract switch earlier this month, the administration tried to downplay the situation, saying it had brought Accenture on mainly "to prepare for next year's open enrollment period."
Add to this ObamaCare's other monumental problems — its inability to sign up young people, the ongoing massive security risks at the website, the low payment rates among alleged enrollees — and you have a recipe for total disaster.
It may be too much to ask President Obama to put a stop to this madness. But at the very least, he owes the public a full accounting of the risks the health industry now faces thanks to his administration's incompetence.

Video: On clean coal, Biden takes bold stand against, um, Obama's position; Update: McCain launches coalition to protect coal jobs
posted at 11:26 am on September 23, 2008 by Allahpundit
Via the Standard, here's the relevant plank of Team Barry's plan for green jobs:
Develop and Deploy Clean Coal Technology.
Obama's Department of Energy will enter into public private partnerships to develop five "first-of-a-kind" commercial scale coal-fired plants with clean carbon capture and sequestration technology.
And now here's the Greasy one, summarily outsourcing those jobs to China. Did I or did I not tell you that the man's a genius?
That's twice now in about 18 hours that Biden's undermined his own campaign. Are they just not cc'ing him on the memos anymore? Has the surging tide of Palinmania caused even Obama HQ to forget that he's part of this campaign? Or is this all part of some dastardly Axelrodian plan to have him gaffe his way off the ticket, clearing the way for Her Majesty to come aboard and bring that stubborn 42 percent with her?
Not the only new gaffe of the morning either, do note. Exit question: Maybe this is all part of Al Gore's master environmental strategy of China not having to go green until the U.S. does?
Update: Jay Cost makes an obvious point I should have flagged: This is going to play oh so sweetly in western Pennsylvania.
Update: Compare Biden's direct condemnation in the clip — "We're not supporting clean coal" and "No coal plants here in America" — with this balletic bit of spin from his spokesman:
The Democrats are responding by essentially reiterating Obama's stance on the issue, implying that this was merely a matter of Biden speaking out of school.
"Senator McCain knows that Senator Obama and Senator Biden support clean coal technology," says Biden spokesman David Wade. "Senator Biden's point is that China is building coal plants with outdated technology every day, and the United States needs to lead by developing clean coal technologies. The Obama-Biden comprehensive energy plan will invest $150 billion over 10 years in clean energy technologies, including incentives to accelerate private sector investment in commercial scale zero-carbon coal facilities. The Obama-Biden Department of Energy is committed to developing 5 'first-of-a-kind' commercial scale coal-fired plants with carbon capture and sequestration here in the United States."
Update: Fresh off the presses from Team McCain. Go for the throat, Maverick!
ARLINGTON, VA — Congresswoman Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV), former Virginia Governor and Senator George Allen, former Congressman Scott McInnis (R-CO) and RNC Chairman Mike Duncan will announce the McCain-Palin campaign's Coalition to Protect Coal Jobs, a nationwide group including members of Congress, state government and other influential leaders. The coalition will help spread the message about the importance of clean coal technology and the advantages of tapping the country's vast coal reserves. As part of John McCain's "all of the above" energy plan, the Lexington Project, clean coal will be a strong component of the drive to energy independence. In addition to providing domestic energy, the coal industry is a key part of the economy in several states.
John McCain's support for clean coal technology is in sharp contrast to that of his opponents. Joe Biden visited Virginia on Saturday, saying that he was a "hard-coal miner" and that it was "nice to be back in coal country" while Obama supporter, Congressman Rick Boucher (D-VA) said "Senator Obama's a friend of coal." But just two days later in Ohio, Senator Biden said he wants "no coal plants here in America" and that he and Senator Obama are "not supporting clean coal."

Analysts to get a crack at Facebook
A gaggle of Wall Street analysts get to show whether they like Facebook beginning Wednesday.
That's when the quiet period runs out for analysts who work for the banks underwriting the social network's initial public offering.
For Facebook, that means analysts from such heavyweight banks as Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs will have their say. The Wall Street Journal's Telos Demos writes that as many as a dozen analysts could weigh in on the company's prospects.
And that could be good news for Facebook's stock, which has struggled since the company went public May 18. Demos writes:
For nearly 700 U.S.-listed company IPOs from 2006 to 2011, analysts initiating research after 40 days placed an average "hold" or "buy" rating on the stock, according to Ipreo Inc., a research from capital markets data and advisory firm.
Of seven IPOs that had initial average analyst ratings of "sell," the companies' shares had rallied sharply after the IPO, which analysts said made the stocks overvalued, Ipreo said.
If analysis of Facebook follows that formula, Wednesday could be a happy one for Mark Zuckerberg and company.

Three relievers combined to pitch the final four innings. Zach Putnam was tagged for two earned runs on two hits in the eighth.
Josh Donaldson went 2-for-3, extending his hitting streak to six games, and is now hitting .500 with Sacramento.

Nephrite and Jadeite.
Nephrite is the famous New Zealand Maori greenstone and the material
carved by the Chinese for almost 5,000 years.
Jadeite is the rarer and harder material (a sodium aluminium
silicate) which eclipsed Nephrite in China during the 18th century.
Which is the most valuable?
How much can jadeite cost?
The best Jadeite, known as Imperial Green, has a rich, vivid green
colour and astounding clarity, with fine carvings selling at specialist auctions
in the Far East for millions of US$. Gram for gram, fine jadeite can be worth
more than diamonds. But Jadeite carvings can also be bought from as little as a
few pounds.
Which type does Ping Ping use to create its jewellery?
Ping Ping only uses Jadeite.
How do you value jade?
There is no objective system for valuing jade precisely. The value of
an individual piece relies on its colour tone, how even its colour is,
translucency, texture, clarity, amount of flaws and inclusions in the stone and
how well it has been cut.
Is jadeite always green?
No, Jadeite can range in colour from red, yellow and honey coloured,
to lavender, white (known as ice jade) and even black.
Is Jadeite easy to carve?
Being actually harder than steel (around 7.5 on the mohs scale of
hardness) jadeite has to be worked using diamond tipped tools and
Is jadeite mined?
Jadeite is generally extracted from open-cast mines or collected in
the form of boulders from river beds.
Is there a lot of fake jade around?
China is the traditional home of the jade trade and in Mandarin, the
word Jade can mean any material that is carved. Thus many Chinese dealers sell
materials such as aventurine and serpentine as jade- often calling their
products names like "Korea jade" and "New jade" (serpentine) or "Indian jade"
(aventurine). While such dealers are not necessarily intending to cheat their
customers, this situation can be misleading for inexperienced buyers and we have
seen some importers selling (innocently or not) what they claim is jade when
it actually other, inferior materials.
What about coloured jade?
Enhancing the colour of jade is an ancient practice which has been
elevated to a science in the 21st century. Colours are injected under pressure
with the jade heated to a certain temperature so as not to damage its molecular
structure. Treated in this manner, the colours are permanent and will not fade.
Ping Ping does stock some items made using colour-enhanced jadeite and these are
always clearly marked as such. Jadeite can also be clarified using a specialist
process to remove impurities and improve its appearance.
However, buyers should be aware of coloured items which are not
actually jade or which have been cheaply dyed. Some unscrupulous dealers will
sell colour-enhanced jade as Imperial Jade: The clue is usually in the price
as natural imperial jade is extremely expensive (see above).
Does Jade have special properties?
Chinese mythology believes that Jade is descended from Heaven and
so is an extremely lucky material. But jade has numerous properties ascribed to
it by different cultures. The Chinese say that wearing jade brings wisdom,
peace, harmony and focus on spiritual matters; The Spanish Conquistadors
believed that it helped cure kidney problems. New Age practitioners say it aids
dreaming and helps illuminate a wearers true path, as well as promoting
relaxation and the efficient completion of tasks. It is also said to be an
extremely balanced stone. Many Chinese people wear (or display in their cars)
lucky and auspicious symbols and figures carved out of jade for luck, good
fortune and safety.
What should I look for when buying Jadeite?
Determining whether a piece of jade is really jadeite and whether or
not it has been coloured or clarified and then trying to judge its value takes
years of experience. However, there are a couple of tricks of the trade you
can use when buying for yourself.
The first thing that most people do when buying jade is feel it to
make sure it is cold. This at least tells you that it is not plastic! Be aware
that jadeite can heat up under lights or in direct sun light: It will cool
rapidly when removed from the heat source though.
Being very hard, real jadeite will have no trouble scratching glass
many reputable dealers will offer a sheet of glass so that you can test this.
Shining a light through a piece of jade (or holding it up to a light
source) will reveal its translucence one of the most important qualities of
fine jade.
If you see any bubbles inside the item, it is probably
If you suspect that someone is trying to sell you Serpentine as
Jadeite, you should be able to scratch it with a steel blade although the
vendor probably wont be very happy about you trying this!
Other tests not really practical outside a laboratory include
flame testing the material, inspecting it in ultra-violet light and measuring
its specific gravity, as well as inspection of its molecular structure with a
microscope. If you are considering buying an expensive piece of Jadeite in Hong
Kong, the seller may agree to have the piece certified in a local laboratory if
it has not been done so already.
The famous jade markets of Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Taipei vary
wildly in the quality of jade items on offer so are the ideal places to visit in
order to learn more about this fascinating material.
Finally, the art of jade buying is based partly on science, instinct,
experience and, in large part, trust, so ask yourself if you trust the vendor
you are buying from. If not, walk away.

Naturally occurring pearls are now so rare that they are priced out of the
reach of all but the richest of collectors.
Found in remaining numbers only off the coasts of Australia and some Middle
Eastern Countries, natural pearls are found at the rate of only three or four
per ton harvested, with perfect pearls being even rarer.
Therefore, virtually all pearls used in jewellery these days are cultivated
by inserting a tiny bead made from polished shell into a specially bred oyster
or mussel in fact a specially bred hybrid of the two creatures is most
commonly used.
Irritated by the bead, the mollusc surrounds it with a coat of calcium
carbonate to form nacre (a.k.a mother of pearl). After anywhere between six
months and seven years (depending on the species of mollusc and the product
being made) the oyster will be removed from the water and opened to reveal a
The science of cultivating pearls was perfected by Japanese scientists in the
1930s. Using species of mollusc which could survive in a lake was found to be
more convenient and cost effective than growing pearls in the sea and so the
term Freshwater Pearls was born.
Most of the pearls offered for sale these days are freshwater pearls.
Originally cultivated in Japan, most notably in the famous Lake Biwa, production
has almost entirely been moved to China, especially in the area around Shanghai,
since the Japanese industry fell victim to increased water pollution.
Some types of pearl, such as South Sea, Tahitian and Akoya, are still
cultivated in salt water lagoons but these are considerably more expensive.
The desirable lustre and iridescence of a pearl is caused by light refracting
off the different layers of nacre that have been built up. Pearls can occur
naturally in many different colours although many are dyed for uniformity. Being
an organic substance, pearls absorb dyes well and so the colour will not rub off
and should not fade, although certain colours may lighten if exposed to strong
sunlight for long periods.
The value of a pearl depends on its size, skin quality, lustre and shape
with perfectly round being the most desirable - while a particular string is
valued on how close its pearls are to each other in size and colour. The most
expensive of all cultivated pearls is the South Sea Pearl, which is generally
large (up to 14mm) and can be found in several different colours, including
black and gold.

Being a natural material, a pearls surface and iridescence can be damaged by
contact with cosmetics, perfume or even perspiration so always follow the old
jewellers maxim, which says a pearl necklace should be: Last on, first off.
Pearls should be worn regularly to allow them to breath.
Do not try to clean pearl necklaces using an ultrasonic cleaner as this may
damage them.
Wipe pearl jewellery with a clean cloth before putting them away.
Ideally, pearls should be stored in a velvet wrap which allows them to lie
straight, not coiled up as this can weaken the stringing.
If displaying pearls in a cabinet or shop window, do not let them be exposed
to direct sunlight or heat for long periods. A small glass of water hidden in
the display can help humidify them.

10 Cures for Cabin Fever
Forget video games. Keep the kids busy on dreary days with our favorite indoor activities that are easy on your wallet.
Go Camping
Capture the fun of a camping trip without leaving home. Set up a small tent (or pillow-and-blanket fort) in the living room. Help younger children cut shiny red paper into flame shapes for a pretend campfire. Dim the lights, turn on flashlights, and spread out sleeping bags and pillows. Then serve a special camping treat -- such as Indoor S'mores -- while campers tell ghost stories and sing songs around the fire.
Bonus: Without the muddy sleeping bags and leaky coolers, cleaning up the campsite is a snap.

What were the impacts of the Swadeshi and Boycott movements in India?please answer this question as much in detail as possible.....
1 Answer | Add Yours
Swadeshi and Boycott movement are two sides of the same coin or the same social and political movement. It was a movement planned, launched and directed by Mahatma Gandhi as an economic strategy to improve the economic conditions of the artisans in India. Conditions of artisans in India had become extremely precarious because of combined effect of competition from manufactured goods imported from Britain and unfair policies and practices imposed by the British on India, that were designed to benefit the British business at the cost of Indians.
Swadeshi in Hindi language means "of ones own country". It refers to the core strategy of the movement of using only the goods manufactured in India., and boycotting or refusing to use imported goods. I am not sure what reasoning Mahatma Gandhi used in formulating this strategy. But now with our advanced knowledge of economic concepts like opportunity cost and cost-benefit analysis, we know that this strategy made a very good economic sense. It provided the poor artisans a means to earn a livelihood. At the same time it helped the entire economy of the country. These benefits were obtained in spite of the lower market price of manufactured goods imported from Britain. In addition to helping the Indian economy, this strategy reduced the benefits British could extract by exploiting India. In this way it reduced the determination of Britain to hold on to their rule over India.
The swadeshi movement directly benefited the local artisans and industries in India, and gave a boost to Indian Economy. In addition it infused a spirit of nationalism among Indians. Particularly the Khadi movement, which formed a part of swadeshi movement made a major contribution in this direction. Khadi refers to coarse hand woven cloth made from hand spun yarn, and this movement involved wearing only such cloth. This movement gave Indians a means for giving vent to their nationalistic feeling, as well as a visible symbol of their determination to defy the British. This helped to build a large and strong community of Indians openly displaying their defiance and determination.

Is there any way to get the pound to pay for any bills we'll be getting?
we got a cat from the pound 3 weeks ago, they told us she wasn't fixed yet and had just gotten out of heat. but now we think she's pregnant. we havn't let her out of our house at all.

If you signed an adoption contract or got any paperwork from this shelter, read it carefully. There is usually a paragraph about "pre-existing" conditions. She will need to go to a vet to prove how far along she is and that she was pregnant when you adopted her. Most shelters will do the right thing and pay for at least a portion of the vet bills you will incur with this cat. I'm surprised that they adopted her to you w/o spaying her first, but maybe I'm just naieve. If you have the nerve, pack her up and take her back to the shelter and explain that you think she was adopted to you already pregnant. Don't call--it's too easy to blow someone off over the phone. Ask to speak to the shelter manager or director. Be firm but polite.
Izadore (Izzie) answered on 3/23/12. Helpful? / 0
Also it's important to know that if she's less than 8 weeks pregnant many vets can do a spay/abort. Any fetuses would sadly have to be euthanized but you probably saw dozens of healthy adult cats and grown kittens at that pound that were scheduled to be euthanized because they are competing with hundreds of cats in most every no-kill shelter out there, "free to a good home" kittens born to people's pets that are lucky if they go to a real home and aren't sold for laboratory use, rescue groups adopting out millions of rescued cats and kittens through private adoption and pet shop adoption programs, and still millions of stray and feral cats out there showing up on people's doorsteps looking for a meal and maybe a warm place to sleep. It's a tough decision to make but you should know it may be an option if you can get her into a vet ASAP. The pound may have a staff vet who would do it as they see first hand the tragic effect of overpopulation.

Though diminished by arrests and internal strife, JI and splinter terrorist groups still pose a big challenge to the fulfillment of Yudhoyono's campaign promise that "God willing, in the next five years the world will say, 'Indonesia is something; Indonesia is rising.'"
I met Nasir Abas in a dingy Jakarta coffee shop across the road from Cipinang Prison, which holds some of Indonesia's toughest criminals and most incorrigible terrorists. Abas' own terrorist credentials were formidable. He had trained on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, set up a military academy in the jungles of the southern Philippines and taught half a dozen of the young men who carried out the first Bali bombing how to kill. His brother spent eight years in a Singapore prison for plotting a foiled terrorist attack. (He was released in January.) His brother-in-law was executed for his role in the bombing of Paddy's and the Sari Club. Abas, 40, brought along a sidekick, Jhoni "Idris" Hendrawan, 34, who had taken part in three deadly terrorist attacks in Indonesia and been arrested while counting the money he had robbed from a bank to finance a future attack.
These days Abas has a new role: he works for the police. Abas helped officers question suspects responsible for the second Bali bombing. He has testified against JI operatives in court, leading to their conviction and imprisonment. His encyclopedic knowledge of the terrorist network provided authorities with a trove of intelligence. He is one of the first on the scene of terrorist attacks and often finds clues that only a JI insider would recognize. In his spare time he visits terrorists in Cipinang and other prisons, trying to convince them that killing civilians and innocents is un-Islamic. Some prisoners refuse to talk to him and call him a traitor; others, like Hendrawan, have bought into Abas' deradicalization program and have forsworn violence. "I thought the students I trained would take part in jihad against forces occupying Muslim lands, like in Afghanistan," Abas said. "Then the Bali bombing. This wasn't jihad. Prophet Muhammad said it is wrong to do anything cruel, wrong to kill old men, women and children. After Bali, I came to realize many of my friends and relatives had strange ideas and thought it was OK to kill civilians."
His conversion, he said, came after his 2003 arrest. "I always thought the police were my enemy." But they called him Mr. Nasir and, after beating him the day of his arrest, never touched him again. If they had tortured him further, he said he would have been silent or given them false information. "They said, 'We are Muslim like you. We aren't against Islam. We just want to stop criminals.' Even the Christian cops didn't use bad words about Islam. I changed my mind about the police, and that was one turning point."
Another, he told me, was when Cipinang's commander came to see him in prison. "Bekto Suprapto was a colonel and a Christian. He told the ten men guarding me to take off my handcuffs. Then he told them to leave. I'm thinking, 'What a brave man, because if I want to do something to him, I'm sure I could carry it off.' We talked about jihad, about Christians and Muslims. He gave me a Bible and I ended up reading it. I started wondering why God hadn't let me die or be killed. I answered my own question. He hadn't because there was something God wanted of me. It was to do what I'm doing now." Abas' change of direction also had a practical benefit: it won his release from custody.
Abas—and mainstream experts on terrorism—say JI continues to recruit at its 50 schools and in the mosques it operates. But, they add, its leadership and structure have been severely weakened by Yudhoyono's three-pronged strategy: first, to aggressively pursue terrorists, which has resulted in more than 400 arrests, several executions and the shooting death of JI leader Noordin Mohammad Top in 2009; second, to undercut the popular appeal of militancy by exposing it as un-Islamic; and lastly, to ensure that the government does not create more terrorists by treating prisoners brutally.
Recent elections offer a glimpse into the public's changing attitudes. In parliamentary elections in 2004, Islamic parties won 38 percent of the vote; in 2009, the percentage dropped to 23. In a poll of Indonesians by a group called Terror Free Tomorrow, 74 percent said terrorist attacks are "never justified." In another poll, 42 percent said religion should have no role in politics, up from 29 percent the previous year. Apparently, most Indonesians continue to embrace moderation and tolerance.
Indonesia's ulema, or leading clerics, were long on the fence about terrorism, believing no Indonesians nor any Muslims could have been responsible for the attacks. Many never denounced the Bali bombing but did condemn a police raid in East Java in 2005 in which JI's leading bomb master, Azahari "Demolition Man" Husin, was killed as a U.S.-trained counterterrorism unit raided his hide-out. Yudhoyono's vice president, Jusuf Kalla, invited leading clerics to his house for dinner. He spoke with them for 50 minutes. He showed them pictures of huge stockpiles of bomb-making equipment and weapons the police had found at the hide-out. Then he showed them videos of young suicide bombers saying their goodbyes before heading out on death missions in search of martyrdom. "Do you still believe the police shouldn't have raided the house?" Kalla asked. The clerics all agreed that the raid was justified. It was an important government victory to get influential opinion-makers on the record with a condemnation of terrorism.
"Indonesia has done far better than the United States combating terrorism as far as abiding by the rule of law goes," said Sidney Jones, a longtime U.S. resident of Jakarta and a conflict analyst with the Belgium-based International Crisis Group. "There have been no witch hunts, no Guantánamos, no water boarding." The Yudhoyono government, she said, treats terrorism as a law-and-order problem for the police, and the police in turn use what they call a "soft approach," as they did with Nasir Abas. Everyone is charged in open court with reporters present. "Because of the information coming out of the trials, the Indonesian public became convinced that the terrorists are Indonesians, not CIA and Mossad operatives," Jones said.
The Indonesia I visited this past October was a different country from the one I left a decade ago. Although 32.5 million of the country's people still live below the poverty line, most Indonesians no longer wake up hoping they can simply make it through the day. The students' agenda of the 1990s—democracy, civil order, economic opportunity, respect for human rights—had become the national agenda. Everyone I met seemed aware that Indonesia had been given something some countries never get: a second chance. The optimism was palpable. "If Indonesia were a stock, I'd be buying," said Eric Bjornlund, co-founder of Democracy International, Inc., a firm in Bethesda, Maryland, specializing in international democratic development.
