Microsoft has just announced that the Bing website is now integrating Quora in the social side bar. The idea -says Bing- is that the Microsoft search engine not only want to show pertinent search results, but also who provides relevant answers. Although there are relevant answers elsewhere (forums, Q&A sites…), this is a potentially huge win for Quora, where most users log-in via Facebook with their real identity. U.S based users should start seeing Quora contributors in the sidebar, today.

Details From The Bombing And Manhunt in Boston
The criminal complaint filed against Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev provides insight into the the moments just before and just after the explosions, as well as new details of the manhunt to capture him. And they will leave you rather uneasy.
On Monday, Tsarnaev was charged with the use of a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death.
When hijacking the car early Friday morning that ended up leading to the police chase and then manhunt, according to the complaint, one of the suspects said, "Did you hear about the Boston explosion, I did that."
Here is an article detailing what the suspect has said via head nodding and writing, as he is unable to speak due to his injuries at this time.

Stripping down to her underwear was not Yunjin Kim's biggest concern when she signed on for her sexy role in the TV2 drama, Mistresses. The actress, who first found fame in Hollywood on the TV show Lost has gone out of her way to leave her role in the sci-fi drama behind her. Although grateful for the success the show brought her, after Lost wrapped in 2010, Kim cast herself adrift from Hollywood - she moved from Hawaii back to her Korean homeland with her husband Jeong Hyeok Park, and returned back to her successful Korean-language film career. Tinseltown kept calling, but Kim was wary, adamant that in her next big TV role she would not play a character defined by her ethnicity. Mistresses she says helped her break away from Asian stereotypes.
"Hollywood is getting better for Asian women but it was really important for me to choose a role where my race wasn't the focus, says Kim, who was born in South Korea but raised in Staten Island, New York.
"On Lost it was the major focal point of my character and I knew that the next show I did I needed it to be a non-specific ethnicity, it was one of the big issues for me and something I really care about.
"This character in Mistresses is not specifically written for an Asian woman. I think the character was originally called Karen Rhodes and they changed the name to Karen Kim because of me," she adds.
Kim's part on Mistresses, alongside actresses Alyssa Milano, Rochelle Aytes and Jes Macallan couldn't be further from her role as the discontented Korean wife, Sun, in Lost.
The show, a tamer and stylised version of the original BBC version that aired in Britain from 2008-2010, centres on four friends who are in some way affected by or involved in infidelity. Kim plays Karen, a psychiatrist who has an affair with her married, terminally ill patient, Thomas Grey.
Even though she has to put her body on the line - Kim was given a week's notice before filming sex scenes so she could shape up - being part of such a female-focused show had its advantages.
"It's still ABC so I kind of felt safe taking off my clothes, I knew there was a limit [to what they could show], and I knew I would be taken care of and would be completely safe," says Kim.
"I have to say, wardrobe and makeup-wise, this show is more fun. I like to be recognised by fans when I actually look good, not in supermarkets with no hair and makeup whatsoever or wearing flip flops in Hawaii," she adds with a laugh.
The death of Thomas Grey leaves Karen devastated, and she's further shaken when his son Sam (Erik Stocklin) develops an unhealthy obsession with her.
Acting alongside a cast of strong leading ladies was a slightly intimidating experience for 27-year-old Stocklin. The Hollywood newcomer says Flight of the Conchords' Bret's You've Got it Going On is one of his anthems on days when he feels like the new kid on the block. But he says that working one-on-one with Kim he learned more than he ever did in acting school.
"I watched Lost, so I knew Yunjin from that, so to get a chance to work with her was amazing, she was such a fun partner in crime," he says.
"Every second being on set is like the best school you could get into. It's such an education into the medium of television."
Mistresses debuts on Thursday, at 8.30pm on TV2.

Joanne Corneau, the artist known as Corno, was born in Quebec and studied art at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Then she took off for New York, where she has lived and worked for 20 years…
Corno's large, vibrantly-coloured paintings are carried by Galerie AKA in Montreal. Her work is also sold in New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris and London at the Opera Gallery. Corno paints sensuous bodies and huge faces with sexy lips. Her work is bright and very 'street', full of raw energy. She just published her first book, Cornographie, which details her life of painting and some wild moments in Manhattan.
She took a moment to chat with us when she was in town for her cool show on until the middle of May at the Galerie Lounge TD on Saint-Catherine Street.
Who are you? I am an artist. I have been painting for 30 years. It is my passion, and my destiny. I can't imagine not painting.
Who are some celebrities who own your work? Well, I can name a few, such as Sylvester Stallone, Lionel Ritchie and Domenico Dolce (Dolce & Gabbana).
What do you miss most about Montreal? Even after 20 years away, I still miss my friends.
What is your favourite part of Montreal? I love that there are so many green spaces in this city. My favourite is Outremont Park, and I think I read there is a tango festival in the parks this summer. I hope I am in town for that.
When you are here, what is your favourite restaurant? Montreal restaurants are still amazing! I love to find the new ones when I come back to the city. My favourite is still l'Express on St-Denis. I love its Paris bistro feel – and of course, the food.
What is your favourite 5 à 7 place? I always stay at the Sofitel when I am in town. So I tend to go downstairs to le Renoir just off the lobby. I love it as a bar and also as a 5 à 7 place before the night starts.
Which boutiques do you like when you shop in Montreal? I always head down to St-Paul in Old Montreal. The boutiques there have elegance and eccentricity – so I can choose!
What Montrealer would you like to meet? I would love to meet Arcade Fire.
What galleries do you go to when you are in Montreal? I always take the time to visit the MAC.

How to Buy a Point-and-Shoot Digital Camera
ARTICLE DATE : May 4, 2012
By far the largest segment of the digital camera market, point-and-shoot models are compact, easy to use, and typically take great pictures with minimal effort. You simply press the shutter button, and the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed, aperture, focus, and light sensitivity to capture a clear image with optimal color. Unlike Digital SLRs which offer larger image sensors, more manual control and interchangeable lenses, point-and-shoot cameras can often slip into a pocket, and are typically less expensive.
Deciding to buy a point-and-shoot camera is the simple part, but with hundreds of models with varying price points and feature sets to choose from, selecting the best one is no easy feat. Follow these rules to find the right compact digital camera.
Rule #1: There's More to a Photo Than Megapixels
Sensor size is much more important. Putting too many pixels on the smaller image sensors (which are generally 1/2.3" when measured diagonally) found in compact cameras, can actually hurt camera a camera's low-light shooting performance. These sensors are much smaller than those found in D-SLRs, which can make color gradations less smooth, and make it more difficult to create a shallow depth of field. But the advantage is the ability to put lenses with longer zoom factors in compact packages—you can find a camera with a 20x lens that can fit into your shirt pocket like the Canon SX260 HS, something that no D-SLR can match.
Some compact cameras have larger image sensors, in the 1/1.7" range, but these are usually aimed at enthusiasts and are priced accordingly. If top-notch image quality in a compact package is an absolute need, no matter the cost, consider one of these larger-sensor compacts like our high-end Editors' Choice, the Canon PowerShot S100. These cameras can't match the long zoom range of compacts with smaller sensors, but generally perform better in low light. You won't be able to blur the background like you can with a D-SLR unless you're focusing on an object only a few inches from the lens, but larger sensors generally produce images with a bit more depth than their smaller counterparts.
Rule #2: Pay Attention to Lens Focal Length, Not Just Zoom Factor
Rule #3: Weigh Size Versus Features
If you're happy with a moderately long zoom and you don't need, say, an articulating LCD, an ultracompact model like our midrange Editors' Choice, the 8x Canon PowerShot Elph 310 HS is a very capable camera that takes beautiful photos and will slide into even a tight pocket. Cameras that add more advanced functionality, like the Wi-Fi capable Samsung WB150F or the ruggedized Olympus Tough TG-310 will generally be a little bit bigger. And if you want a camera with an extremely long zoom range, like the 35x-equipped Canon PowerShot SX40 HS, you'll be nearing the size of a small D-SLR.
Rule #4: When it Comes to LCDs, Display Resolution is as Important as Size
You can also get a point-and-shoot with a touch-screen interface. These models allow you to adjust camera settings and fire the shutter by tapping the rear screen, eliminating traditional physical control buttons. The main advantage is the ability to put a larger screen on the rear of the camera—the Canon PowerShot 510 HS has a 3.2-inch display. If you're the type who wants to fiddle with manual controls, a touch-screen camera might not be a good choice, as it takes longer to change settings when compared to button-based commands. But if you want to happily shoot in automatic mode, the touch interface could be an appealing choice.
Rule #5: Good Low-Light Performance Lessens the Need for Flash
As you increase the ISO, image noise increases as well—and too much noise makes for grainy, blotchy photos. A camera that performs better at high ISO values—you should look for one that keeps noise under 1.5 percent at ISO 800—can use a lower powered flash to grab sharp photos, without creating a washed-out look. It's important to check reviews to see how cameras actually perform at these higher settings, as one camera may produce much better images at ISO 1600 than another. A few point and shoots are really masters of low light—the Olympus XZ-1 has an extremely fast f/1.8-2.5 lens that can snap clean images through ISO 1600.
Rule #6: Image Stabilization is a Must
Rule #7: Go for HD Video
As far as recording the video, you'll want to check and see if the camera can zoom while recording, but be aware that the sound of the lens zooming is often picked up by the camera's mic. Some larger point-and-shoots will have an external mic port, making them better suited for more serious video work.
Rule #8: Get Last Year's Camera for Less
Finally, before you settle on your perfect shooter, read our recent point-and-shoot camera reviews, and check out The 10 Best Digital Cameras for the top point-and-shoot cameras we've tested.

Cracked Granite - HELP, NEED ADVICE
Last week I had granite installed in our kitchen (I am near Philadelphia in King of Prussia, Pa) The slab is 'gallo califoinia'. After installation we noticed a crack going from one edge to the other edge. I had the installers come out (they spoke very broken english so it was hard to communicate with them) and they said 'they would fix it'. After they got done the only thing they succeeded in doing was to make the area hazy. I went down to the place I installed it with pics and the guy said it is probabaly a fissure (he was very abrasive). He sent his guys out and they removed the slab. I receieved a call to call them back, and that it was a fissure and not a crack. I called my contractor and had him call. They never returend his call. He went down in person and they refused to budge.
Not only is the crack athestically unapealling, it is on the overhang of the counter (about a 10 inch overhang). They reinforced the bottom with steel and epoxy, but I'm not happy about the whole thing.
I am going down to visit them tomorrow. I need as much advice as you can give me. If need be I will sue. Brother is a laywer. My email is email@example.com or please post response. Thank you.

Ooo new pets and mounts can't wait!
Ensemble for s1 and s2 weapons :P they are identical :D
Kind of shame that we ran out of equipment slots to make new legendaries not collide with existing ones. But maybe they'll be moved around to at least not collide with good performance legendaries, because it would be a damn shame to entirely not care about new legendary crafting system just because you already have better legendary for given slot.
Missed opportunity for legendary goggles.
If those "new, crafted legendaries" push us back to TBC times when every Mage had to be a tailor and every Warrior had to be a blacksmith, I'm gonna be very, very sad. Wish my JC had legendary necklaces to craft and not ones that allows shamans to swim faster etc. useless "fun" effects.
I dont like the stats this crafted legendary got. I wouldnt use it over other ones.
That Zepplin mount though..
Ah, !@#$ the haters. The new mounts will be the state of the art.
i still don't see the point of the order hall sets given the exuberant amount of order hall resources necessary to upgrade a piecei meant if they made the 860 upgrade like 1K each then it can work as a cheap starter set but the likelihood of that happening is probably zero
Crafting legendaries :/.Good for ppl who dont have them.A bit @#$% for the idea of something being "legendary".Guess its a bit of a "fix" though, based on how weird the system went.Gg for the name of a druid mount form, lmao. Feathers mate :P.I like the new dk pets :D.Cool with the new/or updated books, :D. Very cool!
There does seem to be a quest for these, I managed to get it from a dwarf in Deliverance Point on my 800 tailor, but couldn't find it with my paladin that has no professions (although said character was missing other quests as well, so I'm not certain that's the case). I don't have any characters with non-matching professions and armour type to see which it depends on.http://puu.sh/tv0K4/1085a8cb3b.jpgSome of the other quest text does seem to emphasize the "Profession" aspect, and the follow up quests involve collecting "Shadow Thread" and "Starlight Thread", so it seems very likely to be the connected quest line.Another observation: The materials seem to not be soulbound, so perhaps the professions create the materials which can then be used by anyone.Bonus Corgi: http://puu.sh/tv3iW/30e38326b0.jpg
Crafted legendary items......
250 scales or leather vs 250 demonsteel bars? Yeah that's a good comparison blizzard.
Crafted Legendaries aren't a terrible thing, as it helps people with terrible RNG luck get geared better for raids that seem like they may actually require an equipped legendary. My only question regarding them on the PTR is why are they 910 when every Legion Legendary just got a boost to 940?
It should have been renamed Leeroy's Incessant Courage although his courage borders on recklessness and somewhat stupidity but its also backed with his in/famous battle cry and closing speech that nearly everyone can relate to

Singer Katy Perry, who is engaged to British comedian Russell Brand, is convinced that the ongoing FIFA World Cup is taking a toll on her romance as Brand is spending all of his time watching the games on TV.
"We were watching the game and I was like messing with him saying, 'Darling, I really want to go outside.' And he was so caught, he was like, 'But the game, the game...' But I knew I wasn't gonna pull him away from that game. So I just took a nap," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Kate as saying.
"Everything is about football right now. It's like, when I was with him last night he was up late watching football," she added.
The couple is set to marry in October this year.

On this date in 1944, novelist, poet and self-described "Earthling" Alice Walker was born in Georgia, the youngest of eight children in a sharecropping family. Blinded in one eye during a childhood accident, she went on to become valedictorian at her high school, and attended both Spelman College and Sarah Lawrence College on scholarships. Walker graduated from Sarah Lawrence in 1965. She worked on voter registration drives in the 1960s, and married a fellow civil rights worker in 1967. They had a daughter, Rebecca, in 1970, and later divorced. Her first book of poetry was published in 1970. Walker edited I Love Myself When I am Laughing and Then Again When I Am Looking Mean and Impressive: A Zora Neale Hurston Reader, in 1979, introducing and popularizing Hurston to a new generation of fans. The Color Purple, Walker's bestselling 1982 novel, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1983 and was turned into a popular movie by Steven Spielberg. Walker, a graceful and memorable essayist, introduced the term "womanist" to the feminist movement to describe African-American feminism. Her books of essays include In Search of Our Mother's Gardens: Womanist Prose (1983), Alice Walker Banned (1996), and Anything We Love Can Be Saved: A Writer's Activism (1997). Walker has worked actively against female genital mutilation, suggesting that anti-woman practice may have some of its roots in the Mosaic preoccupation with circumcision. Walker has written a biography on Langston Hughes, and her many other books include Meridian (1976), You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down (1981), The Temple of My Familiar (1989), and Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992).
Walker's views on religion are expressed in "The Only Reason You Want to Go to Heaven Is That You Have Been Driven Out of Your Mind (Off Your Land and Out of Your Lover's Arms): Clear Seeing Inherited Religion and Reclaiming the Pagan Self" (anthologized in Anything We Love Can Be Saved: A Writer's Activism). Raised as a Methodist by devout parents, early in life she observed church hypocrisy, especially the silencing of the women who cleaned the church and kept it alive. "Life was so hard for my parents' generation that the subject of heaven was never distant from their thoughts. . . . The truth was, we already lived in paradise but were worked too hard by the land-grabbers to enjoy it." In The Color Purple, the protagonist rebels against a God who "act just like all the other mens I know. Trifling, forgitful and lowdown. . . . I blaspheme much as I want to." Walker, rebelling against the misogyny of Christian teachings and the imposition of a white religion upon the enslaved, advises: "It is fatal to love a God who does not love you. . . . We have been beggars at the table of a religion that sanctioned our destruction." Describing paganism as "of the land, country dweller, peasant," Walker notes: "All people deserve to worship a God who also worships them. A God that made them, and likes them. That is why Nature, Mother Earth, is such a good choice. Never will Nature require that you cut off some part of your body to please It; never will Mother Earth find anything wrong with your natural way."

Ford: Act like you've been there
January 20, 2014
Act like you've been there before — a simple notion that when applied to sports means to show class while basking in the glow of glory.
Barry Sanders is my favorite example of this. Sanders is arguably one of the best running backs of all time, and after he was done leaving defenses dazed by his seemingly magical moves and had tallied six points for his team, he would toss the ball to the referee, embrace his teammates, and that was it.
Sanders is in a group of former superstars that helped keep the balance between modest men in pro sports and the showboats who do all they can to grab individual attention for simply doing their job.
While the scales have drastically tipped in the last decade in the showboats' favor, the All-Pro Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman's need to individualize his team's win and at the same time demean an individual on the other team, left my jaw wide open.
Sherman is a wealthy, Stanford-educated, superstar athlete. The man has the whole world in the palm of his hand. Widely considered the best corner back in the NFL and in the waning moments of the NFC Championship made the game's winning play, sending him and the Seahawks to beautiful New Jersey, where they will face the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.
But when asked after the game about his game-winning play, he chose not to credit his team, thank the fans, give all the glory to God or say hi to his mom. He chose to proclaim he is the best corner in the league, then put the 49ers' Michael Crabtree on blast.
"I'm the best corner in the game," Sherman said on the field. "When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you going to get."
Obviously, Sherman had never been ''there" before and acted like an arrogant 13-year-old who just beat his older brother for the first time.
Later, when addressing the media a second time, Sherman again promoted himself and denigrated Crabtree.
"I was making sure everyone knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver," Sherman said. "And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver, that's what happens. I appreciate that he knows that now."
Sherman is self-centered and classless, but we already knew that.
Starting with youth sports, young athletes are taught sportsmanship. At first, how not to be poor sports. If you lose, go back to the drawing board, train harder and give it another go. We are also taught to win the right way by being gracious and humble in victory — a lesson obviously lost on Sherman.
Someone who didn't miss that lesson is Peyton Manning. Let's take a look at his statements after the Denver Bronco's 26-16 win over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
"For me personally, it's very gratifying. It's been well documented what all I've been through. Our team has been through a lot, so it goes hand in hand," Manning said. "We just overcome obstacles. We've rallied and used the guys around us. It's really been a collective group effort."
That's how someone who understands the idea of "the team" answers a question that started out about him specifically.
So why did Sherman feel the need to bash Crabtree, after proclaiming in emphatic fashion directly into the camera that he was the best?
Simple answer, I don't know. But it did get me thinking: What are some of the other instances where a winning moment made you want to cringe? There aren't many.
The most recent instance was Michael Jordan's 2009 Hall of Fame induction speech, where the greatest basketball player of all time spent less time thanking those who helped him along the way and more time shooting jabs at past adversaries.
For the most part, even the most conceited athletes show grace in victory. It's a time of celebration, not a platform for your bravado. You proved you're the best on the field. No need to let your mouth and elevated sense of self detract from that.
Could you imagine if Meryl Streep got up for her Oscar acceptance speech for "Iron Lady" and screamed, "I'm the best actress in the world. That's what you get when you put a sorry actress like Viola Davis up against me."
That wouldn't happen because Streep's got class. But you get the point.
And here's my point, when you accomplish something great do it with humility and perspective. Act like you've been there before, don't act like Sherman.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Is Lindsey Graham cooling down after getting hot under the collar over the weekend about health care reform? The day after the passage of the legislation, he warned that the "sleazy" process might derail future bipartisan efforts. His remarks caused some to wonder whether he was looking for an out on climate legislation. But now Graham says while he may not be happy about how health care reform passed, he's still intent on working on a climate and energy bill. His Republican colleagues, however, might not be so enthusiastic.
Graham told reporters yesterday (via Greenwire) that he's "still committed to trying to roll out a vision of how you can price carbon and make it business-friendly." But he stopped short of predicting that their vision could be come law anytime soon. "We're still going to do that ... But the truth of the matter is, I think you're going to find most of our colleagues around here risk adverse [sic]," said Graham. The health care vote, he warned, is "going to make it very difficult to do anything complicated and controversial."
Case in point: John McCain. "There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year," the Arizona senator—and Graham's mentor—declared in a radio interview on Monday."They have poisoned the well in what they've done and how they've done it."
I can't say I'm shocked that McCain is taking his ball and going home for the next nine months. Most folks had already written him off as a "no" vote on a climate and energy bill, despite his longtime commitment to the issue. Let's hope other Republicans who have been active on climate and energy issues will take the same approach. Still, Graham aside, I'm not expecting much comity from Republicans on climate legislation.
John Kerry, however, thinks that the health care fight might help his effort to pass a climate bill. "In the wake of health care's passage, we have a strong case to make that this can be the next break-through legislative fight," he said.
"Fight" may be the operative word.

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is the subgroup of ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity disorders): it has the same main characteristics, except the one important difference which is that children with ADD are not hyperactive like children with ADHD are.
Attention refers to our ability to continuously direct all our mental capacities to certain activity. So children with ADD lack that ability to continuously focus on one activity. Instead, their attention wanders off to a different subject, some different object or a completely different situation. One phrase that is commonly used to describe people with ADD is 'creative dreamers'.
Nowadays it's generally accepted that our attention is something that is biologically determined which means it depends mainly on how our brain functions. Following that definition, ADD is considered to be genetic disorder in which the brain's capacity to maintain attention is altered. There are also cases where ADD is not caused by strictly biological causes, but can also be attributed to bad family situation or bad parenting, or even there are some cases where the child's natural temperament is such that it's interested in many various things at once or the child is very intelligent, so it quickly gets bored with repetitive stuff.
ADD, unlike ADHD, is mostly diagnosed during teen years when child shows lack of progress in school because its attention deficit is preventing it from focusing on school matters. Children with ADD are not overly impulsive or hyperactive as to be considered disobedient kids from early stages of development which leads to later ADHD diagnosis.
The main symptoms of attention deficit disorder are:
When child is unable to focus, especially on the school tasks, it might be the case it suffers from so called 'wandering attention' which manifests through:
Besides medication treatment which should be considered as a last alternative in the younger children, there are some common sense tips that can help a child to develop a better focus and improve it school success such as:
You have to remember that the child's attention is not in it's control, it's a brain function that varies from person to person. That's why it makes no sense in punishing or scolding a child for a poor school success because factors out of it's control are contributing to its school performance.
Depression can drain your hope, energy ...
Anxiety is an unhealthy emotion which occurs ...

Our mission is to help people to overcome their mental illness and at the same time, provides valuable information about anxiety medication as well as gives helpful resource to cure panic attacks in a short period of time.

A story in this morning's New York Times points out that the United States did not have forces in place capable of protecting its personnel and Benghazi last September.
At the heart of the issue is the Africa Command, established in 2007, well before the Arab Spring uprisings and before an affiliate of Al Qaeda became a major regional threat. It did not have on hand what every other regional combatant command has: its own force able to respond rapidly to emergencies — a Commanders' In-Extremis Force, or C.I.F.
To respond to the Benghazi attack, the Africa Command had to borrow the C.I.F. that belongs to the European Command, because its own force is still in training. It also had no AC-130 gunships or armed drones readily available.
As officials in the White House and Pentagon scrambled to respond to the torrent of reports pouring out from Libya — with Mr. Stevens missing and officials worried that he might have been taken hostage — they took the extraordinary step of sending elite Delta Force commandos, with their own helicopters and ground vehicles, from their base at Fort Bragg, N.C., to Sicily. Those troops also arrived too late.
Defenders of the administration will point to this Times story as partially exonerating White House officials from some of the charges leveled against them. At least they tried to save Ambassador Stevens and his team.
But the story raises deeper and far more troubling questions about how unprepared the administration was to deal with the new situation its intervention in Libya created. For months now, the security situation throughout Libya, in neighboring Mali, and in other countries has been deteriorating sharply. Bands of jihadis and their supporters are roaming almost at will. Under conditions like this, it was only a matter of time before American citizens or diplomats would be attacked or taken hostage.
This latest news is just one more piece of evidence pointing to the unhappy reality that the administration intervention in Libya was something the White House did not fully understand and for whose consequences it did not prepare. Washington jumped into Libya without knowing what it was doing; as the situation unraveled it dithered and delayed. Perhaps the White House didn't want anybody to notice just how big a mess it had made and hoped that if America didn't do anything dramatic the mess would just quietly go away on its own; perhaps it took a long time for the penny to drop.
But the United States overthrew Qaddafi without knowing quite what it was getting into, and then as the dangerous consequences gradually became more clear, it failed to take the precautions that the new situation demanded. That is the real reason why Ambassador Stevens and his team died alone, under fire, and without help from the country they were there to serve.

Pragmatic advice on how best to survey a farmer's field is not something you often find today in a journal of research mathematics, and the practical emphasis of Adrain's work might be taken as a sign of his provincialism. But in fact very similar problems in geodesy and astronomy motivated Gauss and Legendre as well. Indeed, both of them not only analyzed survey results; they also went out in the field and made measurements of their own.
Both Gauss and Legendre introduced the method of least squares in works on astronomy. Legendre was first to publish; he presented the technique (and also coined the name) in a book on comets published in 1805. The method is given as part of a recipe for determining an orbit from a set of observations, but Legendre offered no theoretical justification, and he did not mention probability at all.
Gauss's treatment of the subject appeared four years later, in his major work on celestial mechanics, Theoria Motus Corporum Coelestium. Based on dates of publication, Legendre would seem to have clear priority, but Gauss remarked that he had been using the method since 1795 and insisted the invention was his. Legendre complained in a bitter letter to Gauss: "There is no discovery that one cannot claim for oneself by saying that one had found the same thing some years previously...." They never made peace.
Although Gauss wasn't first to publish, he was certainly more thorough. His treatment was no ad hoc recipe for curve-fitting; he started from the premise that the arithmetic mean of several independent measurements "gives the most probable value, if not rigorously, yet very nearly, so that it is always most safe to hold onto it." He then derived the normal distribution from this premise, and showed how the distribution implies the method of least squares. (The arithmetic mean can be seen as a special case of the method of least squares.)
What Gauss could not establish was that the errors in real-world data—from land surveys or comet observations, say—actually follow a normal distribution. Gauss's "law of error" was widely accepted anyway. As Henri Poincaré quipped a century later: "Everyone believes in it, because the experimenters imagine that it is a mathematical theorem, and the mathematicians that it is an experimental fact." The actual scope of the "law" was not rigorously settled until a century later with the proof of the Central Limit Theorem.

TUSKEGEE, Ala. (January 15, 2012) — Tuskegee University opened its annual Faith Week with a special service in the University Chapel on Sunday. During the week, three speakers will visit the campus for events through Jan. 22.
"Faith week … is the occasion upon which we as a university community acknowledge the significance which religious faith or spirituality serves in the never ending journey toward human fulfillment and wholeness," said Gregory S. Gray, dean of the University Chapel.
James Earl Massey, dean emeritus of the University Chapel, was the keynote speaker for Sunday. Massey urged his audience not to forget that Jesus Christ is the basis of being a Christian and that faith is not just an empty concept.
"Faith is not just something that we talk about; it is a life principle. It is a way of ordering our steps… a way of using ourselves," Massey said.
Massey is the author of 22 books and more than 500 published articles in scholarly journals and popular magazines. His book, "The Burdensome Joy of Preaching" was named by Preaching Magazine as the Book of the Year in 1998. He plans to donate more than 2,000 books on religious studies to the university library. He urged the audience to study the Bible and continue to build on their knowledge of Christianity so they may be strong and credible examples.
"Be bold about your faith," he said. "You have nothing in which to be ashamed."
This year's Faith Week coincides with both the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and the release of the Tuskegee Airmen-based film, "Red Tails." The current and former chapel deans honored King and the airmen during remarks. Also, a short documentary about the film and the importance of faith was played during the service. Actor Elijah Kelley, who portrays Samuel "Joker" George, expressed admiration for the faith of the airmen and believed their beliefs helped them persevere.
"...That nothing is impossible and it is not over until it's over," Kelley said.
On Monday, the university will mark the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with a service at 12:30 p.m. in the chapel. Edward Wheeler, president emeritus of the Christian Theological Seminary and former dean of the University Chapel, will serve as speaker. He is the author of numerous articles, book reviews and books including "Uplifting the Race: Black Ministerial Leadership in the New South, 1865-1902" and "Black Pearls: Lessons from a Beautiful Black Mother."
The Golden Voices Choir will hold a concert on Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. in the chapel. Faith Week will conclude with chapel service on Jan. 22 at 9:30 a.m. The guest speaker will be Timothy T. Boddie, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta. Boddie previously served 11 years as Hampton University's chaplain. In 2007, Boddie was elected president of the National Association of College and University Chaplains, making him the first black person to serve in this position during the organization's 60-year history.
Gray said Faith Week can be an enlightening experience for the university community.
"Indeed, no truly 'educated' individual could fully grasp the meaning of human history and culture without discerning the powerful ways in which the great world faiths have impacted the human story," he said.

Information on Commodore sailboat
Hi, I have a 1982 Commodore 26'' in need of repair. During winter storage the inside flooded -- what a mess. I need to replace interior cushions and do some general maintenance. I am really in need of any information on the boat that I can get. The previous owners are of no help here.... I have looked on the web for information on the manufacturer and can''t seem to find anything. Any information would be appreciated.
Information on Commodore sailboat
Look on BoatSearch here on SailNet. There is a Commodore 26 (1986) for sale by owner with a posted evening phone #. Maybe that person can give you info on the boat.
Information on Commodore sailboat
Sorry, I mistyped--its a 1983 Commodore 26.
Information on Commodore sailboat
Hi. I have a 1982 Commodore 26 myself, and wondered if you ever got any useful info. As with you, the prior owners of my boat were not forthcoming with information. I did find out that the manufacturer(Commodore Yachts)had folded some years ago. They apparently didn''t make/sell too many boats. I did try to contact some of the names in Cruising World''s "Another Opinion" list ($5.00) but didn''t get any response. If you get any feedback from other owners, maybe it would be worthwhile to form an owners'' association...
Hi Henry,
I myself just purchased a Commodore 26 and am having trouble locating any history or information on the boat. Did you find anything of interest since this post?
ID#s are for Commodore Yacht
I Have a 25 ft Sail Boat and Was Sold to Me as
a ODay 25 1980. it has a 2ft draft and a wheel.
but the ID is for a Commodore Yacht]
Did Commodore Make Sail Boats For ODay?
ajmrfixit, I Love this Boat It's on Lake Seminole,Fl.
I Bought it down at Naples,Fl and sail it up to St.Pete,
Commodore 26
I have owned a Commodore 26 (also known as the Commodore T-26...the T stands for trailerable) for about 5 years. I have been doing a comprehensive refit and know pretty much about every inch of this little cruiser. I am into the final major project of dealing with the concrete and steel ballast that Commodore used. The boat was originally designed for Columbia Sailboats by Alan Payne (Australian 12 Meter designer). He designed the Columbia T-23 and this T-26 along with several additional models for Columbia. Commodore bought the molds form Columbia after they folded and modernized the rig and greatly upgraded the interior. If you do a search for Columbia T-26 you will see the similarities. Anyway, I love the design for spending long periods of time in the Bahamas yet trail to to distant waters now that I am getting closer to retirement. Let me know what questions you may have.
Sail Dimensions for Commodore 26
My commodore is a Fractional Rig, is that the upgrade to the sails you mention? My mainsail is also a cut down sail from a 33' (I am guessing because it has 33 on the side of the sail) and does not fully shape properly as it should apparently. Do you happen to have the sail dimensions for the main and foresail? I am eventually going to want to replace both and it would be nice to have it handy for the sailmaker.
Commodore 26
Sorry Progresst, haven't been on in a while. Yes, Commodore changed the rig to a fractional from the masthead that Columbia had. I'm not sure of your sail number but probably the production number of your boat. I think that was pretty close to the end of the manufacturing run. Your sails are most likely original and therefore have lost their shape. I have a lot of info, the original brochure, some of the design drawings etc for the boat. Will see about getting them to you.
Hello all. I am new to the sailing community, but have been lurking for a while. I recently acquired an '81 Commodore T-26, and will be spending the next year or so fixing her up before I get her on the water. Looks like some good info around here, and I'll probably be picking some of your brains.
Thanks, Mike.

Japan companies urge Taiwan to retain talent
The China Post news staff with CNA Saturday, November 3, 2012, 12:03 am TWN
Japanese firms are calling on the Taiwan government to combat the flow of local talent into mainland China.
No country wants its talent to pour out from its borders, said Ichiro Watanabe (渡邊一郎), chairman of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (台北市日本工商會).
But salaries in mainland China are on the rise, luring more and more Taiwan talent. Meanwhile, those who do stay in Taiwan face a stagnant job market. As a result, there is an obvious scarcity of highly skilled professionals in the local job market, he said.
Japanese businesses are invested in local talent retention, as they cannot expand in Taiwan without a stable source of skilled professionals, he said.
Watanabe yesterday presided at the release of the chamber's 2012 White Paper and presented the document to Taiwan's Council for Economic Planning and Development.
The white paper promotes five policy recommendations for the Taiwan government: expediting Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement follow-up talks and free trade pacts; striking an economic partnership agreement with Japan; promoting Taiwan-Japan business cooperation and ensuring a source of talent; creating a stable investment environment; and maintaining a dialogue with the Japan government to improve the living conditions of expatriates.
What Diaoyutais Row?
Japanese companies operating in Taiwan have not been affected by a long-simmering territorial dispute among Taiwan, China and Japan over the Diaoyutai Islands, said Watanabe yesterday.
China-Japan relations "may have frozen" due to the East China Sea dispute, but Japanese businesses and expatriates in Taiwan "have not experienced much influence," he said. "Taiwanese people trust Japan and also like Japan."
Besides, Taiwan has said that it has no intention to join with China against Japan in the territorial dispute, which shows that there will not be much of a problem between Japan and Taiwan, he added.
Located some 100 nautical miles northeast of Taiwan, the Diaoyutai Islands, known as the Senkakus in Japan, have been under Japan's control since 1972 but are also claimed by Taiwan and China, which calls them the Diaoyu Islands.
Tensions have escalated among Taiwan, Japan and China over the archipelago ever since Japan made moves to nationalize the island chain by buying three of the uninhabited islets from its private owner Sept. 11.

ESPN's Buster Olney joined Mut & Merloni on Wednesday morning for a Hot Stove update, and he talked about the possibility of the Red Sox trading center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
"It's clear that the list of teams that could be a potential match on an Ellsbury deal is pretty small, because of all the circumstances -- because he's a free agent after next season, because he's represented by Scott Boras and the team that gets him isn't going to have much hope of signing him to a contract extension," Olney said. "I think one thing is pretty clear is that if they trade him, Ellsbury, they're not going to get a huge return on him.
"In fact, a couple of minutes ago I got a text message from a National League official who said the Red Sox are listening on [Jon] Lester, listening on Ellsbury. Their sense is that they're not especially motivated, unless some team overpays. So it might be that they hang on to Ellsbury."
Olney said the Reds are a potential trade partner due to Cincinnati's surplus of pitching, and the Braves have shown a willingness to trade a pitcher as well.
"It is interesting that even after the [Shane] Victorino signing, Boston is still talking with Cody Ross, still talking with a rep for Nick Swisher," Olney noted. "So, it tells you that they are leaving open the possibility that there's going to be an Ellsbury trade."

On August bank holiday Monday the European Parliaments Econ committee has been recalled from recess for an "emergency" debate on the state of the Eurozone. MEPs have put Brussels on hold August period and as one of my colleagues described it the problems have been allowed to "summernate".
It will be interesting to hear what colleagues have to say after their five weeks back in their own parts of Europe. What are the stories from Greece and Portugal, Italy and Spain. What are the Germans thinking - do they side with those who believe the bailouts are illegal and are bringing a challenge to the constitutional court? or do they see the only way to defend a "strong euro" as more fiscal consolidation? What are the views of the other AAA countries, like the Dutch and the Finns.
Every summer for many, many years I have spent a fortnight in the calm of the West of Ireland. It is like having a window into another country. When I used to go there as I child I remember the total poverty with dire roads and working donkeys, then overtaken by ancient tractors. I remember the complaints about inflation when Ireland first joined the Euro and then the boom years, with new roads opening and building bonanza. Every year when returned the property prices had hiked again. The last year when the crisis had started to hit I was told of the exodus of young people; a generation leaving the country because of the lack of jobs at home.
This year I was almost dreading going back, expecting to feel deep depression and boarded up shops. However instead I came away with an impression of stoicism and realism. When ever we asked how things were we were told that yes it was difficult, takings were down - but this was usually blamed as much on the very wet summer weather as the general economy. However, property prices are back down to the levels of probably 6 or 7 years ago, but with a holiday cottage still costing the best part of €300,000 they are still well out of my league. Those who took out mortgages in the boom years are stuck.
Returning home this week I was taken by Ben Gummer MP to see the impact of the Irish banking crisis in Ipswich. The waterfront is buzzing with new restaurants, bars and a hotel. The marina has had its busiest year. But it is towered over by a 17 story high skeleton of a building now frozen by the wind down of the bank that had lent tens of millions to the buildings developers. Ben has been told by the administrators that they can not sell the building at current market prices without approval from the European Commission. If the building continues to be left the concrete shell will start to rot and will need to be demolished. Just one of the problems that I will be taking back to Brussels next week.
Later I went into Newmarket. I've been told before that there are over 6,000 working in horse related businesses around Newmarket. I went to see the Thoroughbred Breeders Association and the National Stud. Its been a difficult year. The Stud stables mares en route to meet up with the various Stallions across the area. They reckon they have seen 100 fewer mares this year. The direct affect of fewer (mostly Irish) buyers.
These are just two visible examples of how our local east Anglian economy is related to that of Ireland. But the relationship with other economies is often less visible. If the Eurozone crisis deepens into another bank crisis it will affect the UK too. I will be listening hard to the thoughts from colleagues across the continent on Monday.

It's good to see Indian companies growing at such a fast rate these days. And it's much the same story with our automobile companies and ancillary industries. They are all playing on a global field, going head to head with some of the best in their respective industries. MRF has joined that bandwagon with their latest tyre the ZLO. MRF has placed the ZLO in the premium car tyre market to compete with the likes of Goodyear, Pirelli and the lot.
The ZLO range of tyres will cater to high premium cars such as BMWs, Audis, Jaguars, etc. As mentioned earlier the tyre is guaranteed to be safe at speeds up to 250 km/h and a little more. But considering that most of those premium cars are electronically limited to 250 km/h the MRF ZLO is worthy a tyre to cater to the cars.
Tyres are available in sizes ranging from the smaller premium cars to the sizeable Audi Q7. Prices for the tyre range from Rs. 8,000 per tyre for the smaller range of ZLOs to Rs. 20,000 per tyre for the biggest MRF ZLO tyre.
The only worry in MRF's path is brand perception which in India is one where premium car buyers would not go for an MRF tyre for their car. But that perception will very soon fade, if it exists at all, firstly because the product has been tested and proven to be world class, secondly a lot of those premium cars have entered the used car market now and buyers of used cars would definitely go for a product that is relatively cheaper and yet has the same performance standards.
MRF also plans to export the ZLO range of tyres from their manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu to countries like Singapore and others to make its presence felt on a global scale.

What Is Propylene Glycol?
Propylene glycol is a commonly used organic compound that is recognized as generally safe by most Food and Drug authorities. It is used in food colouring, and flavouring, as an additive to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist, and in machines that simulate smoke. In ecigs, propylene glycol functions to provide the vapour mist that looks like smoke, but is not the smoke that is produced by smoking a conventional cigarette.
A small percentage of eliquid users are sensitive to propylene glycol. If you find that you are sensitive to propylene glycol, you should stop using our eliquid and/or seek medical treatment.
Warning: Keep cartridges and eliquid out of reach from children and pets. Nicotine in its pure form is a poison, and can cause harm. All nicotine cartridges and eliquid must be kept in a safe place and away from children, as the amount of nicotine in a cartridge, if ingested by a small child could cause serious harm and medical assistance should be sought.

It was one of those gloriously warm Columbus Day weekends, and we could have sat on one of Shelter Harbor Inn's outdoor decks, but we chose the next best thing: the "Sun Porch," surrounded on three sides by windows, an open-beamed, white-walled, blue-accented room that feels a bit like a seaside summer cottage.
There's a large, U-shaped bar on one side of the room, prints of sailboats on the non-windowed wall, along with a date of 1925, when the porch was added onto the original 19th-century farmhouse and during the era when the inn was the focal point of a music colony (nearby roads are Bach, Rossini, and Handel). Other incarnations include a riding academy and a nursing home. In 1976, Jim Dey bought the property and has been slowly renovating it to host more overnight and dinner guests (there's a large, sunlit dining room as well as a low-ceilinged, historic one).
Shelter Harbor Inn | 401.322.8883 |10 Wagner Rd, Westerly | Breakfast Daily, 7:30-11:30 am; Lunch, 11:30 am-4 pm; Dinner, 4-10 pm; Sunday Brunch, 11:30 am-2:30 pm | Major Credit Cards | Full Bar | Sidewalk-Level Access
I chose the smoked salmon pizzetta as my appetizer, though our hearts were won over even before our starters, with a basket of house-made cranberry-sunflower seed bread. The generous slice of salmon was on a thin triangle of pita bread that had been spread with an herby crème fraiche and topped with sliced red onion and capers. Simple but very appealing.
Bill chose a bowl of lobster bisque ($6) — their butternut soup is also justly renowned. With plenty of sherry in its creamy base and chunks of lobster in every bite, this bisque was a hit.
Bill's entrée was a long-time favorite of his (and not that widely available at local restaurants): finnan haddie ($16) — smoked haddock baked in cream with duchess potatoes piped around it and bits of apple-smoked bacon sprinkled on top. He was grinning the minute his eyes found this dish on the menu, and his enjoyment didn't stop as he forked up the smoky fish and creamy potatoes.
I was savoring my entrée as well: eggplant caponata over linguine, the latter cooked in a vegetable garlic broth and the former topped with goat cheese. Caponata is a Sicilian dish, with dominant components of green olives, capers, and a bit of tomato, along with the eggplant. Some caponata incarnations don't strike the right balance, or they try to add in other ingredients, but this had the sharp taste I've loved since Bill first introduced me to it.

(Editor's note: Adds comments of union leader Vincent Sombrotto)
(CNSNews.com) - While the Bush administration won widespread praise for its response to the hijacked-airplane terror attacks, criticism is mounting for its response to the anthrax scare.
A sub-heading on the front page of Tuesday's New York Times says, "A Quick Response for Politicians; A Slower One for Mail Workers." According to various press reports, some postal workers believe their health needs came second to those of Capitol Hill VIPs.
But according to Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not believe that anthrax contained in a sealed envelope could infect postal workers - a wrong assumption, as it turns out.
"I would certainly hope that the people who work on Capitol Hill would not get any more special treatment over men and women who work in the postal service," said Vincent Sombrotto, who heads the National Association of Letter Carriers.
In an interview on NBC's Today show Tuesday, Sombrotto said the best thinking last week was that anthrax spores could not escape from sealed letters. "They (health experts) were not sure, there were protocols that had to be followed and they were following those protocols," he said.
Last week, according to Sombrotto, America's front-line health officials believed that the risk of postal workers contracting anthrax was not high enough to justify treating them with Cipro, which carries side effects of its own.
"What happened at Brentwood?" asked the Washington Post on Tuesday, in an editorial stressing the need for quicker and more thorough government action in the face of the anthrax threat.
"These questions are not accusatory," the newspaper says, noting that, "We are all in new terrain, and authorities are feeling their way."
But, says the newspaper, "What we have seen over the weekend and yesterday underscores both the gravity of the situation and the need for authorities to be aggressive and expansive on matters of public health, public safety and public information - especially if a few days can spell the difference between life and death."
As of Tuesday morning, two Washington-area postal workers had died, most likely from the inhaled form of anthrax; two others remained in the hospital for treatment of inhalation anthrax; and nine other postal workers had what officials call "suspicious symptoms."
Washington's Brentwood postal distribution center was being tested for anthrax contamination; and the testing will expand on Tuesday to 36 other Washington post offices that receive mail from the Brentwood center.
Postal workers throughout the capital city were urged to start taking preventive antibiotics. The number of people taking precautionary antibiotics is close to 10,000 in Washington alone.
Also on Tuesday, postal officials planned to meet with experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to consider whether mail sorters and deliverers across the country should start wearing gloves and masks in the course of doing their jobs.
Postal workers themselves are grumbling about the response to their own health needs. Wire services quoted Abraham Odom of Oxon Hill, Md., who sorts mail at the Brentwood center: "They closed the House building down while we were in there inhaling it," Odom said. "That's not right. That's not fair."
