Desktop PC performance advances are likely to increase, not decrease, as chipmakers continue to develop advances that push transistors beyond the theoretical limits perceived by designers just a few years ago. For example, Intel says it has developed a microprocessor that runs certain functions at 10 GHz, showing that the increase in processing power has actually accelerated in the past two years. Moore's Law, the foundation of progress in the semiconductor industry, says the number of transistors able to fit onto a single chip doubles ever 18 months, increasing processing power as a result. Intel's breakthrough, announced at this year's International Solid State Circuits Conference, focuses on shrinking the size of the physical gate length to just 90 nanometers. Two years ago, consensus at the same conference said the size of the physical gate length would not be able to shrink below 140 nanometers by this time. Intel has also developed a new chip engineering method that permits transistors to switch faster by running a small current through them. Other advances involve lowering power consumption, such as a 1 GHz will IBM will unveil that can nearly instantly increase or decrease the amount of power it consumers, while AMD will show a single-chip, solid-state gyroscope.

The Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank, has pointed out 12 legislative bills that it calls "The Digital Dirty Dozen" for their egregious efforts to impose new regulations on the Internet and new technologies. Although both conservatives and liberals seemed to find consensus in an unregulated Internet before, the recent Cato report says 2001 saw hundreds of tech-related bills. Ernest "Fritz" Hollings' (D-S.C.) bill, that mandates breakup of the Baby Bell companies unless they reach certain performance standards, was the most outrageous example of unnecessary government regulation, according to Cato. Other targeted bills include another Hollings measure that would require copy-protection technologies be included in all new music, software, and other digital entertainment. The "Music Online Competition Act," introduced by Reps. Rick Boucher (D-Va.) and Chris Cannon (R-Utah), was also criticized for forcing recording companies to give the same license terms for digital music to all Webcasters. Congress is unlikely to pass any of the measures on Cato's list, however, according to one congressional aide who requested anonymity.
Intel will detail its Ovonics research effort at a San Francisco conference this week. Ovonics, the brainchild of inventor Stanford Ovshinsky, involves materials capable of changing their atomic structure from a disordered to a highly organized state. Intel is hoping the technology will solve the technical limitations of its nonvolatile flash memory chips, increasing the speed that data can be read and written, and offering virtually limitless storage capability in smaller cells. Intel VP Stefan Lai forecasts that flash chips in cell phones and other products could give way to Ovonics-based chips in three to five years. Intel partners Ovonyx and Azalea Microelectronics will release details about a prototype Ovonics memory chip with a storage capacity of four million bits at the conference tomorrow. Intel will also shed more light on its McKinley microprocessor, developed in conjunction with Hewlett-Packard and capable of twice the speed of Itanium chips. Meanwhile, IBM will discuss a multifunction chip that contains separate processors for computation and communication, the primary component of a supercomputer being developed for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Experts are examining the reason's for Silicon Valley's success and trying to help other technology innovation and entrepreneurship centers around the world develop their own Silicon Valley cultures. One recent book, "Cloning Silicon Valley," looks at the measure of success six international technology centers have had in reproducing Silicon Valley. The analysis shows that Cambridge, Helsinki, Tel Aviv, Bangalore, Singapore, and Taipei all have some cultural inhibitions to implementing everything Silicon Valley has. Tel Aviv, for example, has a culture of self-confidence, but has not been able to emulate Silicon Valley's free-wheeling business culture. Palo Alto-based lawyer Richard Allan Horning says refining social attitudes is key; for example, he notes that failure has little stigma attached to it in Silicon Valley. Crescendo Ventures partner John Borchers says the key is fostering entrepreneurial businesses. But David Rosenberg, author of "Cloning Silicon Valley," says no compilation of ingredients will create another Silicon Valley, but he insists it will require a scenario similar to what was present in the late 1990s.
Although consolidation has helped the online job industry mature in the last few years, challenges remain. Even HotJobs.com and Monster.com, the leading Internet recruitment firms, face the same hurdles. Giga Information Group research director Bob Klehm notes that more rivals are crowding the marketplace and threatening the leaders' domination. Furthermore, antitrust investigators at the Federal Trade Commission have turned their eyes to Monster, which has posted profits and acquired competitors. Meanwhile, HotJobs will be bought by Yahoo! for a cash and stock settlement of $436 million. VeriSign communications manager Kristina Ackley also says that users are becoming increasingly frustrated with the response rates of online job boards, and demanding additional options and improved security for the personal information they entrust to them. The sites are competing to attract business from companies that are scaling back external spending while at the same time boosting their budgets on internal efforts to better their corporate sites. January advertising campaigns at events such as the Super Bowl are designed to take advantage of a time when people are considering changing jobs and corporate budgets have been inflated.
A team of Swiss officials, researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors in MEMS, microsystems, and nanotechnology fields are touring the United States in order to learn about how their American counterparts do things. Sponsored by the government-funded Swiss House for Advanced Research and Education and several other public and private institutions, the tour is meant to study how U.S. businesses are able to turn their small technology discoveries into commercial applications so quickly. Christian Simm of the Swiss Science and Technology Office says one aspect lacking in Switzerland is the acceptance of failure, especially financial bankruptcy. Additionally, he says the Swiss investment community and business culture is not technology-savvy enough. Another aim of the tour is to encourage Swiss researchers and entrepreneurs to return to their home country. Simm, who founded the 2,000-member SwissTalents Web directory, estimates there are between 3,000 to 5,000 Swiss scientists and engineers outside the country.

The Enron collapse brings several issues to the fore that mirror mistakes made in the Internet boom. Going forward, the technology sector would do well to keep a careful eye on hyped companies such as Excite@Home, whose example should encourage the Bush administration not to deregulate the broadband industry as many technology leaders would like. More oversight from state and federal regulators, as well as from the media and the investment community, could have helped to avoid the disintegration of Excite@Home. Accounting practices that inflate earnings also need to be pointed out so that investor confidence is restored in companies such as Homestore.com, the online realty site that recently admitted some of its managers had skewed earnings reports. Finally, AOL's litigation against Microsoft for destroying its AOL's Netscape subsidiary through monopolistic practices deserves more attention from the technology community. Such issues must be dealt with, especially since federal courts have already found that Microsoft abused its Windows monopoly to elbow competing products out of the market.
A single Australian programmer is single-handedly building the Linux-based Portable.Net software that will allow developers everywhere to write Linux programs compatible with Microsoft's .Net Web services infrastructure. Rhys Weatherly, founder of Southern Storm Software, has been working full-time on the project for DotGNU, a free software platform, but now is trying to enlist more contributors to finish Portable.Net in just six more months. Portable.Net, as envisioned, will enable .Net on a variety of operating systems and will provide basic, non-proprietary .Net infrastructure to anyone. Weatherly says Portable.Net will not support all the features as Microsoft's Windows-focused version of .Net, but that other organizations can build their own features onto Portable.Net. In the future, Weatherly would like to work on merging Java Virtual Machine and Common Language Infrastructure platforms to provide more freedom to programmers everywhere.
More and more, only the financially well-off can access PCs and the Internet. For instance, the United States accounts for 77 percent of the world's total e-commerce income, compared to just 0.5 percent for Latin America. Such a digital divide contributes to an IT skills shortage and unemployment among young people in Latin America, says Don Terry, manager of the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF) of the Inter-American Development Bank. The MIF has pledged $10 million to Entra 21, a project in conjunction with the International Youth Foundation (IYF) intended to increase IT skills among youths in Latin America and the Caribbean. So far, IYF has collected about $1 million of the $10 million needed for the project from such sponsors as Lucent, Cisco, and Unocal. The private sector should seek out and support such projects, says Terry. He says, "You do not have to be a brain surgeon to see that the digital divide, an IT skills shortage in the business community, and youth unemployment are related problems." In this vein, Mexico's Universidades Technologicas and the U.S.-based Cisco Learning Institute hope to provide network administration training to 1,200 youths in Mexico.
New top level domains have yet to rise to prominence among domain name addresses, even though six of the seven new TLDs are operational. The .biz and .info domains launched in Sept. 2001 and Nov. 2001, respectively. With 580,000 registered .biz names and 700,000 registered .info names currently live, one would expect to find people using these suffixes, but few users, including Mercury writer David Plotnikoff, have ever used .biz or .info to find a Web site. Of course, .biz and .info are simply one wave in a sea of roughly 30 million registered .com, .net, and .org addresses. In addition, many .biz and .info addresses are inactive or only have "coming soon" Internet banners, according to Plotnikoff's informal research. Afilias' Heather Carle says that Web sites, like Rome, are not built in one day. "First, people need to know the new options exist, then they need to find the right names for their needs, then go from there," Carle theorizes. An ICANN committee is currently evaluating the new-TLD launch, while registries are hoping that the situation foreshadows a future market organized around new TLDs, instead of proving to be another Internet speculation gone flat.
People working in the computer and network security industry cannot keep up with the growing number of malicious hackers, according to convicted hacker Robert Lyttle, aka Pimpshiz. Lyttle, who is awaiting sentencing for hundreds of Web site defacements, recently wrote that the security community must forge ties with the hacker community in order to protect systems. He said the media does little to enlighten people to the intricacies in hacker culture, whose members either cause or help solve problems to some degree. Lyttle also warned that an almost infinite number of "script kiddies" pose the biggest threat to computer security because security experts and law enforcement does not have sufficient resources to clamp down on their illegal activity. Such amateur hackers borrow code from famous exploits or download pre-fabricated hacking tools from the Internet to cause damage. The FBI recently teamed with the Computer Security Institute in a survey that found 65 percent of government and financial institutions said they had incurred financial loss due to hacking. On average, these organizations lost $378 million per year. Security service firm Riptech says hacking attacks have increased against targets like high-tech companies and financial companies by 79 percent from July to December 2001.
Two years ago, the state of Georgia charged computer technician David McOwen with computer theft and computer trespass for installing a distributed computing client on PCs at DeKalb Technical College without permission. He never went to trial thanks to a recent plea agreement, but many members of the distributed computing community are worried that his case will set a precedent that could lead to further prosecution. McOwen has protested his innocence throughout the case. "There's a very large difference between people who go out and do crimes on purpose versus someone who is innocent and has good intentions and you get attacked under the law," he insists. Distributed computing clients such as the one McOwen set up utilize idle computing power to carry out projects; the program running on DeKalb's PCs was part of a code-breaking initiative. McOwen believes that the resolution came out in his favor. "This is really a defeat for the statute, not a win, because it shows the statute needs fine tuning," he says.
A recent Frost & Sullivan report detailed the interoperability problem slowing the adoption of mobile-messaging services in the United States. Because carriers use a mixture of three different network technologies--global system for mobile communications (GSM), code division multiple access (CDMA), and time division multiple access (TDMA)--they cannot send text messages between their networks. Moreover, most carriers use the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) for short message services (SMSs), which also does not allow for inter-platform messaging. The Frost & Sullivan report also said other wireless Internet technologies, such as wireless email, were being pioneered separately by different device manufacturers without ensuring interoperability. Interoperability, said Frost & Sullivan industry analyst Kshitij Moghe, would be the "cornerstone" of growth in the U.S. mobile messaging market, which the study predicted to bring in $5 billion in revenue by 2007, up from $571 million in 2000. Currently, standard protocols for messaging interoperability in the United States are being developed by wireless infrastructure firms.
A case currently before the Supreme Court could change the course U.S. patent law has followed for the past 150 years by changing the "doctrine of equivalents" that protects patented technologies from imitation. Supporters of the change include large companies such as Ford Motor, 3M, and IBM, which experts say could benefit from the new patent law because their patents are specific enough to prevent other companies from creating similar products. Meanwhile, critics and defenders of the equivalents doctrine warn that it could undermine the financial incentive companies have to innovate as well as cause major upheaval as companies everywhere seek to revise their patents. If current patent law is changed, it would allow competitors to avoid infringing on patents by adding mostly cosmetic changes to the products. Software products would be especially affected because changes to software products occur so frequently, invalidating a strictly defined patent. Arthur Neustadt, the lawyer defending an earlier appeals court decision supporting the change, says patents need to be more clearly written and that the current patent system encourages too much litigation.
In an interview with Gary H. Anthes of Computerworld, writer and consultant Clay Shirky argues that decentralizing technologies such as peer-to-peer (P2P) are difficult to understand. In enterprises, such technologies can raise productivity and at the same time take control away from the IT department. IT managers no longer have an overall, global picture of the business, Shirky says. Using biological systems as a template is one possible solution, because they follow a local context, he explains. "Your kidneys only know what's going on in the kidneys, yet the whole organism functions," Shirky elucidates. He adds that converting applications into objects can give computer systems the same operational scheme as biological systems; these applications will be more protocol-based than API-based. As a result, mysterious system failures will increase in number but will be less disastrous, Shirky says.

An IP address shortage is inevitable, if not imminent--at least in the United States. Some do not expect a major address shortage for 10 years, but such outlooks would make the United States very short-sighted in regards to the rest of the world. Deploying a third-generation (3G) network that supports IPv6 may be a quick way to prevent such a shortage, especially in less domain-rich markets where such a possibility looms on the horizon. However, an extensive infrastructure upgrade is necessary for 3G implementation, and while foreign operators are greatly interested in IPv6, U.S. operators need convincing that an IPv6 investment will yield positive results. Return on investment could be demonstrated if there was a way to solidly measure a trio of enhanced capabilities offered by IPv6, including more efficient message routing for mobile users through the elimination of triangulation, the automatic assignment and configuration of IP addresses to end-user devices and network elements, and financial benefits. "Yes, [IPv6] has scalability and security and there are features and benefits that can be sold around that, but it has to be part of a longer-term strategy from a telco perspective," argues Intel's Andrew Myall.

Instant messaging is rapidly catching on among remote or dispersed professionals such as frequent teleworkers. Workers can boost their productivity with IM, according to International Data (IDC) analyst Robert Mahowald, provided they use the service properly. He notes that IM is a matter of personal preference, adding that it is mostly favored by teleworkers who rely on continuous communications, fast data sharing, and a steady sense of teamwork. Still, there are several unresolved issues, security being one of the most important. IM lacks uniformity, and many workers often use IM for both work and informal conversation, which could lead to security breaches if the people they are talking to are outside the corporate firewall. Moreover, a plethora of IM products currently on the market results in an insecure, chaotic environment that cuts into productivity. As the service gains favor and companies invest in "champion" products such as IBM/Lotus' Sametime and Microsoft Exchange 2000, uniformity and differentiation standards will be implemented. IDC reports that corporate IM users are projected to swell from 18.4 million to 229.2 million between 2002 and 2005, while spending will surge from $133 million to $1.1 billion in the same period.
The Telework Consortium plans to focus on improving the penetration rate of residential broadband access to the Internet as a way to grow the trend of working from the home. The nonprofit, which has received $3.4 million in federal money, has reached an agreement with Spectrum Access to lower broadband costs, and the consortium plans to sign on several other broadband providers. "We think that the cost will be at a level that most corporations will see the value in paying for this service for their employees, and in the very near future most people will be willing to pay for it themselves," says John Starke, a consultant to the consortium. At about $250 a month, the expensive cost of high-quality video is a barrier to widescale penetration of residential broadband service. Lower-bandwidth transmission does not offer the TV-quality video that is needed to make desktop videoconferencing with the boss true-to-life. The Telework Consortium is also determined to demonstrate how teleworking enhances the productivity of workers, which is what companies really want to hear. Until now, advocates have promoted teleworking as something that will benefit work and family life, and cut down on pollution. The three-month-old consortium has telecommunication firms, systems integrators, and hardware and software vendors among its members.

Freshman Kentavious Caldwell-Pope provided the biggest offensive spark for the Bulldogs, scoring a career high 22 points. Caldwell-Pope also added four steals and three rebounds, continuing his sensational freshman season.
"Kentavious is a good player, and he's been thrust into a large role as a freshman," coach Mark Fox said of his standout guard. "I thought he did an admirable job tonight."
Alabama (12-3, 1-0) led comfortably for most of the game, until midway through the second half. Georgia (9-6, 0-1) was able to cut the margin down to six after a series of forced turnovers. Missed shots and giveaways, however, quickly eliminated the momentum that the Bulldogs had built.
"We had the game where we wanted it in the second half," coach Mark Fox added. "It was 52-46 but from that point forward Alabama's experience took over. They made the plays in the clutch and we didn't defend or rebound the basketball."
Mitchell provided the key boost for the late surge that led to the Alabama victory, scoring 11 points in the second half and finishing with 17 total points. Lacey, a freshman scored 17 of his career-high 19 points in the first half.
The Bulldogs continue SEC play Tuesday January tenth, as they travel to Gainesville, FL as they take on the thirteenth ranked Florida Gators.

If you find yourself shocked that Microsoft would launch a keyboard and mouse combo ready for the debut of Windows 7, and touted as being specially-designed for that pairing, then please take a few moments to recover. The rest of us will wait, basking in the glow of inevitability, and perhaps wonder exactly what could make the Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 so especially Windows 7 orientated.
Notable among the Windows 7-centric features of the keyboard and mouse combo are support for Windows Flip, providing quick thumbnail views of open applications (think alt-tab, but more so), and Device Stage, Microsoft's new device management system - giving quick access to commonly wanted features of connected hardware.
Frankly, neither of those are what you could can killer features - if you ask me at least - but that's not to write the Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 off entirely. The ergonomic Comfort Curve Keyboard should prove pleasant enough to type on and we already know the Wireless Mouse 5000 is worth its salt.
No UK release date or pricing, but knowing Microsoft the "later this month" timeframe and $79.95 (~£50) MSRP will translate fairly faithfully over here. Besides, you'll be waiting a while for the OS to use it with if you do buy one.

London Pizzeria Uses Periscope to Live-Stream Delivery
Watch runners deliver your pizza to you in real-time
Sodo, a pizzeria in the U.K., made a vow to use only environment-friendly practices in operating its company. Part of that commitment is to never offer delivery options for its customers—cars used for deliveries add to air pollution—but a partnership with advertising company TBWA London became an exception. Say hello to your new pizza delivery guy: A local runner in London who delivers pizza for free!
TBWA London and Run Dem Crew, a local running club, joined efforts to deliver pizzas to Sodo's customers. Yes, the runners in the running club were the ones delivering the pizzas personally and on foot for free during a one-day event.
Customers can actually watch the runners run to their destinations in real-time via live Periscope streams. They can also send a message to the runners and help them with shortcuts.
Sodo sold out of pizzas in just three hours. The proceeds of the event went to a local charity. Due to its success, the one-day campaign turned into a monthly event.

|Ian Hideo Levy
November 29, 1950
Berkeley, California
Ian Hideo Levy (リービ 英雄 Rībi Hideo, born November 29, 1950) is an American-born Japanese language author. He was born in California and educated in Taiwan, America, and Japan.
He gained attention in Japan for his work Seijōki no Kikoenai Heya published in 1992, which won the Noma Literary Award for New Writers. He is one of the first Americans to write modern literature in Japanese. For his contributions to the introduction of Japanese literature to foreign readers he was honored with a Japan Foundation Special Prize in 2007.
In 1996 his story Tiananmen was nominated for the Akutagawa Prize.
Levy was born in 1950 to a Polish-American mother and a Jewish father. His father named him after a friend who was imprisoned in an internment camp during World War II.[1] Levy's father was a diplomat, and the family moved around between Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and the United States. He graduated from Princeton University with a bachelor's degree in East Asian studies, and later received his doctorate from the same school for studying Kakinomoto no Hitomaro.
After working as an assistant professor at Princeton, he moved to Stanford University and taught there. He later left and moved to Tokyo.[2]
While at Princeton, Levy studied the Man'yōshū. His English translation of the text won him the 1982 U.S. National Book Awardin category Translation (a split award).[3] He has referred to the Man'yōshū scholar Susumu Nakanishi as his mentor.[4]

Teens Create A New Violent Game Called 'Knockout' [VIDEO]
This is a new "GAME" that some teens in Jersey City started because they're bored, and they think it's cool. It's called 'KNOCKOUT.' Well, it's not cool! It's a terrifying trend that has teens assaulting strangers and taking their possessions. Assaulting people is nothing new, it's the simple fact that these teens have turned into a game. Please watch the video so you can be aware of what's going on around you.
Basically, these cowardly teens sneak up on someone and hit them as hard as they can to knock them out. They call it a one hitter quitter. It's one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen. They have went as far as hitting women with children in their hands, as well as UPS men while their hands are full of packages. They have already arrested several teens for doing this. Lets hope this comes to an end asap.
I hope this post puts you on the look out.They look for people that are alone or are completely defenseless.

- HDMI Cable
- Micro USB
- Designed for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 Samsung Galaxy S III / i9300 i9308 S4, can NOT be used for standard miro USB MHL mobile phone like i9100 i9200 i9220.
Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
This review is from: 2M 6Ft 1080P MHL Micro USB To HDMI HDTV Adapter Charge Cable For Samsung Galaxy S4 S 4
It works.
I don't know who designed this cable but it's unusable. With the HDMI end plugged into the TV/monitor the micro USB end has 6 feet, but the normal USB end is 2 feet long. My 50" plasma HDTV is hung on the wall so the center of the screen is level with the eyes of the person siting on the couch 7 feet across the room. From the bottom of the TV to the USB charger is 2 1/2' off the ground. You can't plug the USB into the charger. To make it work I need to find a double female USB plug to extend the USB cable.
Other Thoughts:
Equal the length of the micro USB and normal UBS cable and it would be perfect.

Success Stories
For landowner Jamie Ulrich, it started with a letter in the mail. Then there were a few phone calls, and one day last winter Ulrich found a note hanging from the doorknob of his Clearfield County farmhouse...
In the process of searching for reliable information, Burd turned to Cooperative Extension. After attending two extension workshops and consulting further with extension educators over the phone, he realized the importance of drawing up a lease with addenda that protected him, his farm, and the environment.
In a vocational agriculture course at Bradford High School, students are using a CD-based Cooperative Extension short course to learn about gas well drilling and private water supplies.
Recently, a Williamsport community organization called Technology Futures held a workshop in cooperation with extension, natural gas companies, and realtors, focusing on doing business in a gas economy.
Becky and Kevin Smith of Herrick Township this month established a foundation that will use the proceeds from their natural gas leases to create scholarships for deserving people in the area who want to advance their formal education.

About meI am a Christ-following husband, father, pastor, and geek. I don't get nearly as much time to indulge my reading habit as I'd like, but I still make time for a new book every now and then.
About my libraryMy library is limited mostly to theological and ministerial titles, with a few works on politics, technology and culture thrown in for good measure. I've chosen to downsize considerably over the past few years, in order to make space for my growing family. I'm planning to buy most new titles in Kindle format, but I do have an affinity for the printed page, especially out-of print books.

Thanks nutcutlet
Good point treehugger80
Ah, right. I did not realise it was an obligate epiphyte. I assumed it could survive alone but parasitised grass when the opportunity presented.
Maybe I will keep the rattle separate from the mix and sow it right against the grass edge; keep the mixture for the prepared/raked edge.. Wish me luck and thanks.
I am sowing a lawn edge where the soil is thin, but the grass keeps encroaching into the open edge every I time I clear it I thought if I sowed now then raked in late March/early April I might get the cornflower/poppy mix to germinate
Cornflower poppy daisies clovers rattle cowslips primrose bluebell
I bought a mix of wild flower seed to sow my borders, inspired by Swansea cbc who create wild flower strands alongside many stretches of road. Should I sow now and allow natural vernalisation or hold off until next April?
Plant prolific selfseeders: native foxglove, pink hardy geranium, Lychnis, nasturtium, bulbs for every season, poppy, calendula etc Spot-weed the worst of the weeds only. Let Nature take its course
I enjoy my M. stellata each Spring so I thought I would buy some other species/varieties like Susan. The slugs dont touch the stellata, but they have reduced the new young trees to sticks, despite coffee grounds, copper strips and even pellets. Why are the slugs so keen to eat these young magnolias?
Pot-grown older hedging is always a bad buy. By the time the main stems are 5-6 ft the roots are tangled and starved, less likely to spread. Rootballed hedging is better provided there is a lot of root dug up and wrapped in hessian. Such plants need a wider deeper trench to be planted into, the height should be reduced by half to a third and each plant should be staked or tied in to wire supports for the first few years. Blood fish and bone dressing plus a 4-6" mulch of leaf mould/composted bark will give the hedge the best start. If all conditions good expect 2ft of growth a year, but be prepared to cut back outward growth and make sure the supporting ties are not cutting into the stems

Luis de Guindos, Spain's finance minister, wrote to Jean-Claude Juncker asking for access to the €100bn (£80bn) offer of bank loans from Brussels, but did not specify either the required amount or any conditions.
There was still no agreement on the key uncertainty over whether the loans will come from the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF), which expires next month, or European Stability Mechanism (ESM), whose bonds would have precedence over private creditors.
After taking almost three weeks to take up Brussels' offer for help, Madrid promised a full deal would be agreed within weeks. But traders bet it would take longer than the market could wait.
Within hours there was anticipation that Moody's was preparing to downgrade Spain's banks. Meanwhile, experts at Open Europe warned the loan agreement could back-fire and destablise Madrid even more.
Raoul Ruparel of Open Europe said: "This package will intensify the sovereign-banking-loop in Spain as banks come under more pressure to load up on Spanish debt. Unless the far-reaching problems in the Spanish banking sector are resolved – which looks unlikely – further reinforcing this loop could eventually force Spain into a full bailout ... This is something for which the Eurozone's current bailout fund would not be equipped."
An independent audit for the Spanish government last week said the banks would need a recapitalisation of around €62bn. The International Monetary Fund has said they need €40bn but some analysts have put the figure at as much as €350bn.
Madrid moved to reassure investors' fears over the government's finances by announcing it was preparing a two-year budget blueprint to prove it can stick to its fiscal targets. Cristobal Montoro, Spain's budget minister, said the government would release the 2014 financial plans at the same time as the 2013 budget statement in September.
The IMF has predicted that Spain will miss its 5.3pc debt to GDP target this year.
Separately, Pierre Moscovici, the French finance minister, said Paris must find up to €10bn of savings to meet its target of cutting its deficit to 4.5pc of GDP this year.
Mr Moscovi said he would unveil details of how the savings would be met in a budget on July 4. He said: "There'll be tax increases, there'll be spending cuts. But I reject any talk of austerity. We must avoid a budget policy that hurts economic activity."
In Portugal, Pedro Passos Coelho, the prime minister, said the government planned to meet its debt reduction targets of 4.5pc of GDP.

There Has Been A Major Escalation In UFO sightings! - Proof Is In The News!

[quote:Anonymous Coward 36946570:MV8yMjgwMTg1XzM4ODA0MTQ0X0RERkFFN0Ey] [quote:Anonymous Coward 42236936:MV8yMjgwMTg1XzM4Nzk3MzY3XzlCQjI3RkJF] I really want to believe those are aliens in those objects, I honestly do. I just can't accept that they are without any logical proof. Sure, they are unidentified, but that's a very large leap to assume they are creatures from another world with fantastic technology. Not only that, but the diehard ufo buffs start inserting their own ideology over the ufos, saying things like "Yeah, I'm certain they are aliens and they are here to save us from ourselves" Or applying some sort of religious intention to them. It's not enough to have people say "yeah, they are real, and yes, they are this and that, I've talked to them blah blah blah" w/o any substantial proof. I really hope they are aliens because the chaos that would erupt from the revelation that we aren't alone, and aren't all powerful in the universe would drive this world into some pretty hilarious corners. But until then, I will continue to keep an open but skeptical mind. [/quote] OK, this isn't intended to bash on you. It's intended to make you re-evaluate how you arrive at your conclussion, and it's important to think about in general terms because it is a view shared by many people. So, again, your view is an example of many peoples views. So this isn't an attack on you personally. There's a difference between being critical and being skeptical. Being critical requires self descipline, which means supporting your thoughts with a logic built from evidence. Being skeptical is essentially the same as being a Zombie, and believing all that you're told from traditional source like TV: Itself a known source of terrible disinformation, and virtually steady stream of lies. In other words, mind controlled thought induces the so called faith based believers, which I believe the skeptic falls in to as one of these faith based believers. You do not need an authority figure to tell it's true or false. It's Ok to reason out your own ideas and don't expect your first conclussions will be correct either. Remember: All Knowledge is Fluid. So it's fine to be critical in your views, but you have to be able to support them. Where the so-called skeptic is essentially no different from a faith based belief system. The idea is to get you to become critical and make arguments based on logic, not on the failures of equally faith based beliefs of UFO-Nuts, and which you are yourself using to supposedly arrive at a logical deduction. The notion of what constitutes evidence has changed over time. Remember there was a time when spectral evidence was accepted in a court. Spectral evidence consists of dreams and visions, as in the fake allegations of the kids in the infamous Salem Witch Trials. This is different than circumstantial evidence. For example, in a trial of Ted Bundy, his arrest for murder was based upon circumstantial evidence. He a white volkswage bug, the bug has a dent in the right front fender and a cracked tail light. The same bug was missing the passenger front seat. The car also had some lengths of rope and some handcuffs. These and other aspects allowed the police to use probable cause in effecting an arrest based on descriptions of a suspect vehicle, as well as the suspect. So, even though no one could say; yes, that's the guy, it is an overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence. Most legal cases are resolved on circumstatial evidence. The perponderance of evidence, which excludes a signed confession for example, is what makes up the circumstantial evidence. In short, it is what any normal person would conclude is the truth without absolute proof. Ted Bundy was thought to have murdered over 300 people. AS for UFO's, well all that means is we the public do not have an official and demonstrated existence of anti-gravitational machines. Yet the evidence and verbal affirmations to the existance of this technology is beyond all doubt, coming from figures like Kelly Johnson of Lockheed: Almost as close as God himself tell you it's real. The existance of the TR-3B and how it operates is basically common knowledge, so we can be positive that gravitational space craft are in the inventory of the military. I utterly fail to see how anyone could possibly conclude that this planet isn't now, and in the past as well, being visited by advanced civilizations, but that is an entirely removed argument because first the possibility of such a probability happening has to be established for most people to first understand it is posssible. This goes back to understanding all knowledge is fluid. You have to do your homework, and you have to do it seeking the truth, not in order to validate a current belief. Certainly there is a hidden civilization. A military based organization which has gravitational control. [/quote]
Original Message
In the last 5 years, there has been a major escalation in UFO sightings. Orbs of light, often in triangular formation, have been appearing all over the world. It is obvious that they are not flares, balloons, or Chinese lanterns. There truly are only two possibilities: they are in fact some form of extra-terrestrial spacecrafts, or they are military.
Here's why they aren't military:
1. The technology is too advanced. These are not solid triangular crafts, they are individual orbs of light. They are clearly employing anti-gravity technology. There are many videos and eyewitness accounts in which they are seen accelerating at high rates of speed and maneuvering in ways that suggest a level of technology hundreds if not thousands of years ahead of ours.
2. The exact same orbs have been appearing since at least the 1940s(see: foo fighters), when we definitely didn't have the technology to produce such a craft. There have been many, many sightings of these orbs(not to mention huge triangles and disk-shaped crafts) by highly credible witnesses all throughout the century.
We are being observed by beings from other planets. And is it really so surprising? There are 200 billion other solar systems just in our Milky Way Galaxy. There is life everywhere!
And what is so interesting and amazing is that they are not simply observing us from afar. They are intentionally appearing for us to see. They want us to see them. Why? What is the purpose?
Could it be they are attempting to wake us up to the reality that we are but one of many, many, intelligent civilizations in the Universe? If so, why don't they just land and talk to us?
Perhaps they understand it isn't best to force it upon us all at once. First contact is a very shocking thing. We need to time to absorb the reality of it. To get over the shock and disbelief.
These orb triangle appearances are part of a process designed to help us get over the shock and disbelief before they formally introduce themselves. These beings understand human psychology very well. They know what they are doing.
The question is: are they going to "arrive" at some predetermined date, or are they waiting for us to reach out to them in some way first? Or are they just waiting for our awareness to reach a certain level?
Whatever the answer, what we need to do is continue to raise awareness about this new reality, while also thinking of ways to reach out to them in peace and in unity.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - With rain forecasted for Friday morning, a new schedule has been set for the three-game set between Campbell and Presbyterian as the opener will be a single contest played at 5 p.m. on Friday at the Presbyterian Softball Complex. The teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at noon.
Fans that are unable to make the trip to Clinton, S.C., can follow the action with live stats and free audio through the Big South Network by clicking the links on the softball schedule page. In-game updates can be accessed by following @GoCamelsSB on Twitter.
Leading Off:
- In the last time out, senior Sarah Forgacs belted her fourth homer of the season in the bottom of the fourth to score three runs and help Campbell to a 3-1 win over Winthrop. Another stellar performance was logged in the circle by freshman Courtney Roberts, who improved to 12-4 on the year with nine strikeouts.
- The Camels are 8-2 in league-play, one-game back of Coastal Carolina at 9-2 with an additional game left on the schedule to make up the difference.
- Campbell just ended a stretch with 17 of 20 games at the friendly confines of Amanda Littlejohn Stadium, where the Camels are 18-3 at home. The team has posted a 30-9 record since opening the facility on March 16, 2012.
- Freshman Courtney Roberts was tabbed as Big South Pitcher of the Week, totaling 32 strikeouts in 26 innings and a 3-1 mark in the circle. She tie the program record with 12 punch outs in game one vs. Liberty that had been previously accomplished by Christina Melton (5/5/12 vs. Presbyterian) and Kathy Freaney (2/25/00 vs. Morgan State).
- The freshman battery of Roberts (P) and Courtney Klingler (C) are the only rookies to earn Big South weekly honors this year. Four more Camels have also picked up weekly awards from the league - Raven Lee (1B), Stephanie Jones (OF), Brittany Arnn (P), Julia Callicutt (P).
- The first game of the series will be just the seventh true-road contest for the Camels, who have a 2-4 record with losses to Georgia, Hawaii and Coastal Carolina (2x). Campbell is seeking to improve that mark as after the home series against Charleston Southern (Apr. 12-13) the team plays 10-straight road contests.
- Campbell hosts its "Strikeout Cancer Day" on Apr. 10 with North Carolina State coming to Amanda Littlejohn Stadium for a doubleheader at 4 p.m.

As reviewers and bloggers start receiving their copies of my new book No Easy Choice: A Story of Disability, Parenthood, and Faith in an Age of Advanced Reproduction, I'll be posting links to their reviews on my web site's Publications page.
But I wanted to point out one reviewer who is going above and beyond the usual one-time, several-paragraph review. Melissa Florer-Bixler is a divinity school student, a Mennonite, and mother to two young children (the second only a few weeks old!). I got to know Melissa when she responded to my online call several years ago for people to share with me their reproductive decisions. Her experience in a L'Arche community (a group home in which people with mental disabilities live alongside their caregivers, to the benefit of all) convinced her that she and her husband would welcome any child they had, and would not undergo extensive prenatal tests.
On her excellent blog, Sign on the Window, Melissa is doing a series of posts on No Easy Choice. Melissa's reflections on the book are less a review and more of a commentary. She takes points I made and fleshes them out, offering readers some new ways to think about the difficult ethical questions raised by reproductive technologies. Even I learn something new by reading what Melissa has to say about my own book!
So far, she has posted two entries in her series on No Easy Choice. I hope you'll read them, and let Melissa know what you think.

Highlighting data sections with a different background colour
Hello All:
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on
how to shade the background of certain regions on a plot. More
specifically, I am interested in using DateListPlot and FinancialData
to produce a similar economic chart as "Chart 2" found here:
I've thought of using both "Filling" and/or "BackGround" but frankly
have gotten nowhere. Any hints on how to approach this?

From Highway #1 (Trans-Canada Highway), head north over the Ironworkers Memorial (Second-Narrows) Bridge in the middle lane. Take the third exit after the bridge (#22a), signed as Mount Seymour Parkway. Turn right onto Mount Seymour Parkway almost immediately and follow it 4.4 km before turning left onto Mount Seymour Road.
Follow Mount Seymour Road as it winds it's way up the mountain. Drive to the end of the large parking lot at the end of the road. Start at the Mount Seymour Trail kiosk, to the left of the Mystery Peak chairlift. Mount Seymour Provincial Park requires parking passes for vehicles during the summer months.
Follow the trail towards Mount Elsay, the route to the west of Mount Seymour avoids the long hike up the talus slopes on the south east of Elsay so is to be preferred. As you follow the ridge up the south shoulder of Elsay, you will encounter the BCMC red & silver trail marker in the photo. Follow a very rough trail around the west flank of Mount Elsay and along the ridge, descending to Vicar Lake. Pass around the west side of Vicar Lake, joining the west trail which has been clearly flagged by the NSR. A steep hike up the West Ridge, leading to a field of hard snow most summers. Whether you approach the peak from the North or the West, the last bit of climbing should be tackled with caution. Glorious Views from the peak in all directions, with Mount Dickens temptingly nearby....

Woofs to all my pals! I finally got my daddie's to put up some new pictures of me. It's hard to believe I've lived in Las Vegas for a year now. I do miss all of the snow in Colorado, but it's always warm here. Well, too warm right now - I don't like the 100+ degree days. I make sure I shed alot for my daddies!! WOOF WOOF!
Dear Diary,
I know it has been a long time, but so many things have happened in the last year. I do promise (Paw in the air) to keep you all better informed.
I have moved to Las Vegas, NV. I got here in August 2007. I was in Colorado having fun and one day daddy put me in the car and I though I was going to town for food, but oh no! hours and hours later and after a nap and a night in a strange hotel - - - here I am!
What's up with all these lights....how is a pretty girl like myself supposed to get rest.
The best thing is at i have a much larger back yard to run around in and play.
Both daddies are busy all the time working but they play with me every night and i get special treats before bedtime and get to give baths to them. I enjoy my weekends the most cause I get to run all day (unless I nap in the sun).
Speaking of naps,*yawn* i gotta go get one real soon...
Bark at you all later
I can't believe my daddies haven't let me put an update on here in so long. It's been a great winter with lots of snow for me to play in!! I'll have to have one of my daddies sit down with me soon and put in a better update but I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm alive and well!! Oh!! I graduated puppy training class. And I'm not happy about this, but they took me in to be spayed the beginning of February. That wasn't any fun at all, but I'm all better now!
I'll bark more later.

text: by Kent Harrington Jan 15, 2013 Comments (0) AIChE Topics: Energy Share This Post: In the US, a distant decade ago (technologically speaking), accepted wisdom had domestic natural gas supplies shrinking and expensive liquefied natural gas (LNG) being imported to make up for the shortfall. To fill that need, Cheniere Energy's Sabine Pass LNG import terminal went into operation in western Louisiana in April 2008. Adding insult to injury, Russia, Iran, and Qatar declared they were forming an OPEC-style gas cartel. This aggressive move by three countries that controlled 60% of the world's "known" gas reserves worried the US and Europe, as they stared into a dismal future as energy hostages. Alexey Miller, President of Russia's Gazprom, boasted they were forming a "big gas troika," the Guardian reported. He promised that the era of cheap hydrocarbons had come to an end, "We are united by the world's largest gas reserves..." A sweeping transformation Just four years later, thanks to fracking and horizontal drilling, disruptive technologies already taken for granted, Alexey Miller's vision has been crumpled up, thrown away, and rewritten. Soon former imports into the US will be reversing direction: French oil and gas company Total just announced that it will buy liquefied natural gas from Cheniere Energy Partners' Sabine Pass plant under a $6.3 billion, 20-year contract. The export deal will allow Houston-based Cheniere to continue an expansion to export the first LNG from the contiguous US. Cheniere has been moving to enlarge the site to five liquefaction trains next to the existing LNG terminal and storage facility. The first two trains are under construction, according to FuelFix. "We believe that expansion in U.S. natural gas production owing to shale investments will continue, and will require the development of new markets such as LNG exports to accommodate growth for our domestic gas industry," a Cheniere spokesman said. Last November the International Energy Agency acknowledged this rapid transformation in its 2012 World Energy Outlook: "North America is at the forefront of a sweeping transformation in oil and gas production that will affect all regions of the world... links between regional gas markets will strengthen as liquefied natural gas trade becomes more flexible and contract terms evolve." This comes as major liquefied natural gas projects are rapidly picking up steam around the world - with demand projected to reach almost 370 million tons by 2018, compared to 250 million tons last year. The world's largest market Meanwhile, a subsidiary of San Ramon, California-based Chevron Corp. announced it's buying a 50 percent stake in liquefied natural gas and pipeline projects in Canada, while obtaining rights to large Canadian gas fields. Early work is already under way on an LNG facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, where there will be two liquefaction trains, each producing 5 million tons of LNG per year. The facility has already secured export rights from the Canadian government. George Kirkland, Chevron's vice chairman, said the site: "is ideally situated to meet rapidly growing demand for reliable, secure, and cleaner-burning fuels in Asia, which are projected to approximately double from current levels by 2025." Another large project will be sending LNG to Asia. Last week, Anadarko and the Italian oil and gas company Eni said they hope to begin exporting liquefied natural gas from Mozambique in 2018, after signing a deal to build a massive plant in the east African country. The facility, the second largest in the world, could have a capacity to produce 50 million tons of LNG a year, beginning in 2018. Bloomberg reports that Mozambique's offshore fields may hold as much as 250 trillion cubic feet of gas, enough to meet world consumption for more than two years, according to national oil company Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos. Completely shifting gears Last September, coming full-circle from 2008, Reuters reported that Russia and Japan had signed an agreement to develop a $7 billion LNG plant on Russia's Pacific coast. Japan's pressing needs are very clear: by purchasing a third of global LNG demand in 2011, the country has been expensively shifting away from nuclear power since the Fukushima disaster. In a change of fortune, Gazprom, the world's largest gas firm, is diversifying away from the European market, where it faces profit pressure from weak demand. The Asia-Pacific market is the world's most sizable, and Gazprom deliveries to it are expected to overtake exports to Europe in the coming years. How will this effect the American petrochemical industry? Images: various, Cheniere; Map, Anadarko; LNG Carrier, Gazprom Log in to post comments

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

If your mouse still has buttons, it's time for an update! There's no surprise that all the modern technology is coming with touch screens!
Tablets, phones, even computers have touchscreens now! It's more accurate, more intuitive, and just downright more convenient!
You KNOW that design has been pretty much the same since the original one, right?
It's archaic and uncomfortable! Don't you think technology and research would've improved that design a bit by now?
IT HAS! You just didn't know it!
There's a mouse that takes full advantage of modern technology, combining comfort, efficiency, and FAMILIARITY to make the closest thing to perfection the mouse world might ever see!
The Logitech M600 Touch Mouse!
You know those smartphones we're all so familiar with now?
You swipe up and down to scroll, left and right to flip through pictures, and you just TAP to select...
Now THAT'S easy & intuitive, right?
This is the best of both worlds: the precision of a mouse with the ease-of-use of touchscreens!
It's like getting a whole new world of control with the device you're ALREADY going to use every time you sit at your computer!
I was SHOCKED at how I instantly felt like I had been using this mouse for years the moment I got it in my hands!
Getting rid of the scroll wheel and buttons sounds drastic... but it was about time!
Look, the scroll wheel WAS a great idea. It made navigating websites easier and getting through documents less of a chore.
But that doesn't mean it's irreplacable!
In fact, it's definitely served its purpose. Those things are prone to malfuctioning, getting clogged up with debris, and just downright being inaccurate!
This touch interface makes scrolling a BREEZE!
Simply slide your finger up or down and it scrolls RIGHT at the speed you use!
No more scrolling too far and zooming past content, or having to make a million rotations to get to the spot you need!
This makes scrolling as natural and precise and moving a piece of paper with your hand!
It's THAT simple!
In fact, you don't even have to have your hands in a specific position to use it, if you want to grip a little higher up or lower down than usual, the mouse STILL reacts to your input!
If you use this once, you'll NEVER go back! It's that good!
And it doesn't matter if you're left or right handed - this thing is shaped to accomodate everyone!
One of the most important things to ANY mouse is how accurate it is, right?
Well, you'll be glad to hear this, then!
After all, what good is a mouse that isn't accurate?
The Logitech M600 uses laser-grade optical tracking to give you the BEST control you could ask for!
We're talking pixel-perfect aim!
If you're doing sensitive photo editing, you know you won't struggle to hit the exact area you need, down to individual pixels!
You know what makes this even BETTER?
Of course, like any great modern mouse, the Logitech M600 is completely wireless and takes just one AA battery to operate!
In fact, when you use the wireless receiver, it can even support up to 5 other Logitech devices at ONCE! You won't have to plug in different receivers for your keyboard or anything like that if it's a Logitech supported one!
I'm not even CLOSE to finished...
This mouse isn't just comparable to the $100 you see at the big box stores... it's BETTER! It's a Logitech mouse (which is the #1 name in computer peripherals like mice and keyboards), and the touchpad scrolling is going to save you TONS of trouble!
And that's why OTHER places are getting away with trying to sell this for BIG BUCKS!
But at WorldStart, you KNOW we're sellin' it for as low as it can go!
In fact, I want everyone to upgrade to this new mouse so bad I'm lowering the price EVEN MORE than it was before!
You can get this unbelievable mouse for JUST $26.97!
Product Description
This Logitech M600 Wireless Touch mouse brings everything great about previous mouse design, while fixing all the negatives! With a comfortable design, improved functionality, and the easiest to use touch controls, you will NEVER go back to those old mice again! Included is a Logitech unifying receiver that allows you to connect multiple Logitech devices to ONE wireless receiver!
Key Features
Plug and Play
Optical sensor
Touch mouse
Wireless technology: RF
Logitech USB Unifying Nano Receiver
Transmission range 33 feet
- Comfortable ergonomic design
Runs on two AA batteries
LED indicator light verifies your connection
System Requirements

It's been a bad couple of days for England's national team. First it was revealed that Wembley's turf had been destroyed following the NFL game between the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins last weekend. The game, played in a torrential downpour, was held barely three weeks before England's final Euro 2008 qualifier, which it must win to have any chance of reaching the finals in Austria and Switzerland.
Then, on Tuesday, German great Franz Beckenbauer labeled Steve McClaren's Lions "a school team" for displaying a noticeable lack of leadership. Beckenbauer had traveled
with Germany to Wembley for a friendly in August, which England lost, 2-1. "They were not talking and not supporting," he said of England's performance that night. "That was for me the biggest
surprise. There is no life in this team."
Former England coach Graham Taylor later agreed with Beckenbauer in a BBC Radio interview. "I understand where he's coming from," Taylor
said. "There isn't a Tony Adams, a Stuart Pearce, a Paul Gascoigne, who, as well as playing with their feet, played with their mouths as well."
