It can take up to about 3-hours for a battery to 'settle' after a charge and prior to that, could see something up to the mid 13-volt range, depending on the charger, so anything you read before that point is misleading. An AGM battery is fully charged when it reads in the range of 12.72-12.90vdc after settling. This also depends on the temperature...the lower the temperature, the lower the voltage. That indicated is for 'nominal' room temperature of 68-degrees (the international standard for 'room' temperature). Now, put the vehicle under some load, and that voltage could drop a little (or maybe a lot if the load is high). What would be more interesting would be to monitor the current leaving the battery with an ammeter.
Keep in mind, a high quality DMM might have an accuracy of <1%, but it's not unusual to have it be 2-3x or more (5% on a cheap one is not unheard of) as the price comes down and the time since calibration (if it ever was done well or at all) has occurred.
Then, consider that unless you take the floor up in the trunk, you're measuring in the engine compartment which is probably at least 12' of cable, and a couple of connectors from the actual battery, which can drop the voltage as much as a couple of tenth's of a volt when everything's perfect.

"This vendor did a beautiful job of our bridesmaid's lunchon. However, I had many problems with the staff. The person that was responsible for my wedding accused me of trying to under pay. She never sent me an invoice so I took the price per head, added the bartender and tax and sent her a check. She called me accusing me that " I can't just decide what to pay for my reception" I said "well the payment was due two weeks before and you never sent me an invoice so I was trying to do the right thing and send timely payment." They finally sent me an invoice at tacked on a $300 tent rental fee that was never discussed or put in writing for me prior to the invoice. The food for our reception was overpriced and tasteless. The wedding cake looked thrown together and the fondant ribbons around the base of the tears of the cake were not connected and the color of the ribbon was a hot pink instead of a fuchsia like I had requested. There were six guests that did not attend. When my parents went to collect the leftover food the staff had eaten all of it (about $216 of food) The bartender got drunk with my guests. I would NOT recommend Straton Hall for your wedding."

Mathematica 5.0.1 & MathLink for Excel 2.1.1
I am having problems with the MultiLink connection, after upgrading from
Mathematica 4.2 + MathLink for Excel 2.0 into Mathematica 5.0.1 + MathLink
for Excel 2.1.1.
With the configuration "Mathematica 4.2 + MathLink for Excel 2.0" everything
worked OK.
Now, I loaded the "MathLink for Excel 2.1.1" macro in Excel 2000 as
instructed in the manual; the connection is set to "MultiLink". The kernel
configuration in Mathematica 5.0.1 is set as follows: the name of the
"kernel name", "kernel program" and "default kernel" are all set to
When launching the kernel to perform some computation and to establish a
connection between Excel and Mathematica, I get a window with the following
text: "Choose a MathLink program to Launch", but I am not able to find any
program except the kernel, the front-end, and a DOS program, which presents
a typical DOS black window. This is different from the way "Mathematica 4.2
+ MathLink 2.0" worked, and here I get stuck.
Could anybody help?

Ledyard OKs funds for security updates to middle school
Ledyard — The Ledyard Town Council approved moving $28,000 from the Board of Education's capital projects fund to pay for security upgrades at Ledyard Middle School at its regular meeting Wednesday night.
The money will pay for a project pitched by Superintendent Mike Graner last month that addresses what he called a "huge security flaw," to be completed in April.
The outdated middle school building houses classroom "clusters" without interior walls or lockable doors — a layout that precludes a lockdown procedure and leaves about 80 percent of students unprotected from a potential intruder.
As a stopgap measure until larger renovations can be completed, the new construction will close off the clusters with walls and doors along the hallway. Electromagnetic locks that can be operated remotely from the main office will also be installed on the entrance doors to the cluster section of the school.
Graner initially presented the idea to the Board of Education after a public forum on school safety brought parent concerns about the classroom setup to the forefront of the discussion.
"This is something we can do immediately and I think it's something that we need to do," Town Council Chairman Linda Davis said before the meeting.

Book Talk: Tess Gerritsen turns to her Asian-American roots
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - For 22 books, through romances and thrillers and bestsellers, including the hit series with homicide cop Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles, Tess Gerritsen hid the fact that she was Asian-American.
But for "The Silent Girl," released this month, Gerritsen turned to her Chinese roots, weaving Chinese lore, a mysterious female wushu grandmaster, and the myth of the Monkey King into a tale of murder set in Boston's Chinatown.
Working with Rizzoli and Isles for the first time is Johnny Tam, an ambitious Chinese-American detective with a chip on his shoulder and a secret of his own.
Gerritsen spoke with Reuters about Asian-Americans in fiction and writing a series so successful it has inspired its own TV show, the second series of which has just started.
Q: In this book, the interesting character is Johnny Tam.
A: Yes. You know, I have hidden my race for 22 books. I have hidden behind my married name, which is very Caucasian, because I didn't feel safe coming out with it. I didn't feel that the market would really accept me. I think I felt it's time to start bringing in an Asian-American point of view.
Q: Why did you feel you had to hide your background?
A: Mostly it was the marketplace. I did not feel there was a big market for the Asian-American voice. The other thing that happened was that years ago, when I started writing romantic thrillers, I had an editor tell me that every time they had an Asian-American major character in the book, it didn't do well.

Where was Vince? It was business questions in the Commons and the secretary of state was supposed to be there. I won't say it's like missing your daughter's wedding, but it isn't done without a very good excuse. In his absence, Mr Cable got a wigging from the Speaker, who hoped it wouldn't become a habit.
"Wizzee? Wizzee?" Labour MPs jeered. They particularly wanted to see him squirm over the Beecroft report, which recommends allowing employers to fire their staff at will, or at least to fire as soon as they've seen the whites of their P45s. There was an urgent question about that very topic on Monday this week, when Mr Cable was also absent, in the north-east. On Thursday he was in Germany, on a long-planned trip to promote British business, according to an understrapper.
To miss one crucial event might seem like an accident. To miss two begins to look like cowardice, though the business secretary does not generally behave like a coward. More he is beginning to resemble a character in a Where's Vince? picture book. Taking part in the Great North Run, perhaps. Or the Oktoberfest in Munich, with a tiny Vince in the midst of 5,000 drunk Germans.
"Mummy, I've found Vince!"
"Well done, darling, that's more than the entire House of Commons has managed!"
Adrian Beecroft is a Tory donor and fund manager whose report suggested ad lib sackings as a means of getting the British economy back on track. (As a fund manager Mr Beecroft must be skilled in making stacks of money without providing any actual goods or services, which makes him a perfect adviser for the present government.)
Mind you, in the light of Thursday's disastrous news, we might try anything, including the sacrifice of live goats at the Treasury. It couldn't do any more harm.
Luckily for Vince, there is another Lib Dem minister on the business bench, Norman Lamb. He made it absolutely plain that his party had no more intention of letting the coalition allow random dismissals than it would legalise child chimney sweeps. But since nobody has heard of Mr Lamb, it doesn't matter what he says.
What is baffling is the way that the prime minister hasn't simply ruled out the plan – "bonkers" as Mr Cable is said to have called it – and spared himself all this grief. As it is, the idea, undead, still lurches towards its unquiet grave, suggesting again that this is a government of silk-hatted Scrooge & Marley-style millionaires.
Meanwhile, Labour is trying to paint the prime minister as a crazed video-game addicted toper who "rants at the dispatch box", as the shadow leader of the house, Angela Eagle, put it on Thursday.
Sir George Young, who was at Eton while they still played the wall game rather than Fruit Ninja, compared Mr Cameron's out-of-pram mode with "the somewhat irrational behaviour at times of the previous prime minister".
But the difference is that Gordon Brown flung office equipment in private. Labour are hoping desperately that next month Ed Balls will get a prime ministerial BlackBerry right in the kisser.

"I received the…applicator holders in a recent purchase… I absolutely love them. It makes it so much easier to hold…no cramping of hands. So easy to hold and love the way they feel. Thanks for making iteasier. I definitely recommend them to anyone." -Beth Knight, Chesapeake, VA
At left, holding the brush without a holder can cause hands to tire and cramp. At right, the Easy Grip Holder makes it easy and comfortable to do your detailed design work!
The New Easy Grip Applicator Holder makes holding small Microbrushes and Fine Tip Applicators easy! No more cramped hands! Great for people with arthritis!
Simply insert the designated applicator into the holder and start painting. It's that easy!
"I used the [Easy-Grip Applicator] holders today to apply stain to an intricate project and I love them. I am 52 years old and I do not have arthritis however holding the tiny micro applicators and even small paint brushes causes cramps in my hands after a couple of hours. …I will use [the Easy Grip Holders] frequently!" -Cindy Knight
It may be hard to see by looking at them, but each brush handle is a slightly different diameter, which means it must have its own specific Holder!(If you try to use the wrong Holder with a Fine Microbrush, for example, it will not hold the brush properly so be sure to get the correct Holder.)
Easy Grip Applicator Holders come in three different options, one for each brush type:

Comments about oreilly Linux Bible, 8th Edition:
This is a large and comprehensive guide the Linux operating system from simple user to administrator.I'm fairly new to Linux as a development environment and this goes in to as much detail as I need initially.It has to be mentioned that some of the areas covered could have entire books written about them on their own - so their has to be some limit to level of detail a more general book like this can cover - but this is not just some slim volume of stuff you could easily google in half an hour.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Larry Johnson: Lyin' Joe Wilson Lied
Moonbat extraordinaire Larry Johnson, in a piece designed to prove that everyone in the world except Lyin' Joe Wilson is a liar, ends up inadvertently confirming one of Lyin' Joe's principal lies as a lie. In this connexion, Lyin' Larry write:
The Republicans insist on the lie that Val got her husband the job. She did not. She was not a division director, instead she was the equivalent of an Army major. Yes it is true she recommended her husband to do the job that needed to be done but the decision to send Joe Wilson on this mission was made by her bosses.
[Emphasis added.]
This would be a really dandy counter-argument if the Republicans had ever claimed that Valerie Wilson/Plame – can I call her "Val?" – made the final decision to send Lyin' Joe to Niger. Of course, they never did make any such claim, merely that she had recommended him for the trip, a fact Lyin' Larry just conceded even while attempting to prove the Republicans were liars and Lyin' Joe was not. Of course, Lyin' Larry's lie can only work if Lyin' Joe's lie were vague enough to lend itself to the interpretation Lyin' Larry made up. Fortunately for Lyin' Larry, Lyin' Joe's lie was nuanced indeed. Last year, Lyin' Joe wrote:
I don't know if Val recommended me or not, and frankly I don't much care. Despite never having served in the CIA myself, I'm familiar enough with their procedures to know that the higher-ups would never have selected me based on her recommendation anyway. hell, the most she'd have ever gotten out of that is one of those referral bonuses. Doesn't your company have those, too? Anyhoo, if Val played any role in this matter – and if Lyin' Larry gets to call her 'Val,' them dammit, I do, too – then her role was too piddly to speak of, the that rat bastard Libby really should have let it drop.
That's a defensible position, albeit one with which I disagree. Oops, I almost forgot; that wasn't what Lyin' Joe wrote, after all; in fact, Lyin' Xrlq just made it up. Sorry about that. Actually, that's a lie, too; I'm not sorry about that, but am ready to move on. Here's what Lyin' Joe actually wrote: (h/t: Patrick Non-Fitzgerald):
"Valerie had nothing to do with the matter," Wilson wrote in a memoir published [in 2004]. "She definitely had not proposed that I make the trip."
Sorry to break the news to you, Lyin' Larry and Lyin' Joe, but if you expect people to believe your lies, your best bet is to make sure everyone on board tells the same lie, or at least not mutually contradictory ones. But I do thank you for playing, Lyin' Larry.

Hyundai Settlement Offers Lump Sum Paybacks to Owners of Overstated Fuel Economy Models
Tiffany Kaiser
February 27, 2013 6:04 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Drivers also have the option of accepting the debit card payments instead
After admitting that it
overstated fuel economy ratings
for some of its models last year, Hyundai has now agreed to settle its U.S. lawsuits.
A filing, which was revealed today, showed that Hyundai agreed to
general terms of a settlement
earlier this month. No financial terms have been disclosed, so it is unclear what Hyundai will have to pay under the settlement.
The proposed settlement gives owners of Hyundai models with misstated fuel economy ratings the choice to either continue accepting money through the debit card plan (which offers periodic payments to a credit card) or receive a lump sum settlement payout.
Payout amounts will depend on the difference in fuel economy from the actual figure to the overstated figure. Those with previously rated 40 MPG models -- like the Accent, Elantra, Veloster and Sonata Hybrid -- are expected to get a larger payout than those with under 40 MPG.
Hyundai said it had set aside about $225 million for its owner compensation plans.
Kia was also busted for overstating fuel economy ratings for some of its models, but the automaker was not a part of Hyundai's settlement. However, Kia was invited to join the settlement and is currently reviewing the terms.
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
The EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were overstated. It made the same conclusion for Kia, and both automakers said they would lower the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold in the U.S. since late 2010. Some of the MPG window stickers that will required include the Hyundai Accent and the Kia Soul ECO. The Accent had its 30/40/33 (city/highway/combined) rating drop to 28/37/31. The Kia Soul ECO saw the biggest drop of any affected model going from 27/35/30 to 24/29/26.
Kia said it has set aside about $187 million for its owner compensation plans.

Tractor Supply Still at It
Posted by: Invest E Gator (IP Logged)
Date: February 9, 2012 11:04AM
Tractor Supply (TSCO) released their results on Feb. 1, and it still looks like smooth sailing, as has been expected.
- Fourth quarter sales increased 20.1%.
- Same store sales increased 7.6%.
- Fourth quarter earnings per share increased 43.3%,
- Full-year earnings per share increased 33.8%,
After reading through the past 15 or 20 years of annual reports, driving around to visit a couple dozen of their locations, even making sure to pop in to see a grand opening of a new one, I bought and recommended the company back in October when it was about $70 per share, and it's so far so good. They had about 1,000 stores a year ago and have about 1,085 now, including a very consistent record of same-store sales increases. I gauge them to be fairly good retailers, and I bet their loyal customer base would agree with that assessment.
Upon first hearing their name, Tractor Supply Company, I thought that they would be difficult to analyze, like I would have to consider the number of tractors in America and the potential profits to be made from supplying them, but it wasn't nearly so tough. I found that the best way to look at them is to think of them as an Ace Hardware, but leaning more into the spectrum of meeting the wants and needs of rural-centered Americans — the salt-of-the-Earth folks who make up the backbone of our country, the same people who would also likely appreciate a weekend road trip to Cabela's to check out the latest selection of duck calls and fish finders.
Tractor Supply is a great place to go to buy some feed for the chickens, vaccines and other meds for the horses, fencing materials, huge bags of wild bird seed, and pretty much everything else for the people who appreciate life out in the yard, whether it's 1 acre or 1,000 acres. The people at Tractor Supply have a fairly convincing plan for growth, and a good history of accomplishing it. I plan to stick with them for some time.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Channel 4 flourished as a world champion of televised animation. The channel regularly showcased both British and international works, set up the Animate initiative with the Arts Council of England, and backed the animator-in-residence program hosted by the British Film Institute's Museum of the Moving Image. It commissioned innovative, challenging, left-of-center short films by artists such as the Brothers Quay and Ruth Lingford. Kitson, who served as Channel 4's commissioning editor from 1989 until 1999, helped foster the channel's growing reputation as a broadcasting powerhouse. In British Animation she takes a fond look back at this exceptional era.

When I retired from the Lodi Unified School District after a 22-year career spent mostly as an English as a second language instructor, I had only one regret. I was sorry that I wasn't able to help more students, mostly adults, learn English.
To be sure, there were many variables out of both students and my control that made it difficult — jobs that interfered with regular classroom attendance, transportation conflicts and domestic responsibilities. But in the end, if my students didn't progress, we both failed.
Two specific things troubled me most. First, since most students were young adults who would ultimately live many more years in the U.S. than they had in their native countries, their American lives would be less fulfilling without fluency in English.
Second, and perhaps more important, if my adult students weren't mastering English, they were unlikely to speak it at home. That meant, in turn, that their children would be less likely to communicate in English. Indeed, 43 percent of California households speak a language other than English.
If English isn't being reinforced at home, then it falls to California's K-12 schools to ensure that students learn. Although there are many uncertainties ahead in the economy, one thing is absolute: Without English mastery, California's young adults will be doomed to low-paying jobs with limited futures.
An important Public Policy Institute of California analysis titled "Pathways to Fluency: Examining the Link between Language Reclassification Policies and Student Success" found that English learners who are reclassified as proficient by the end of fifth grade perform as well or better academically than native speakers, and they continue to do so through middle and high school. The PPTC's findings are based on its study of California's two largest school districts, Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified. The demographically diverse districts — which include Hispanic students, Southeast Asians and South Asians — represent about 15 percent of California's total English learners. Statewide, English learners comprise 25 percent of total enrollment, about 1.4 million students.
The PPIC researchers tracked students in Los Angeles and San Diego for a decade, from second grade through their 12th-grade year. Those reclassified by the end of fifth grade not only did as well or better than native English speakers on state standardized tests, they were also as likely or more likely to make grade level progress and to graduate from high school.
PPIC notes, however, that reclassifying students' language skills is more complex than it should be. Under current standards, students must not only reach thresholds on two different exams, but individual districts are also able to set their own requirements, which are often different from the state's standards and those of other districts.
Accordingly, PPIC recommends allowing districts to reclassify students based on their success on a single but more rigorous test. Learning English shouldn't be bogged down in bureaucratic red tape that, inadvertently or not, may delays a child's progress. If PPIC's findings in Los Angeles and San Diego holds true in other districts with a high number of English learners, then its suggestions to accelerate reclassification should be adopted.

Going native : a review of Jing Wang's 'Brand New China'
O'Connor, Justin (2011) Going native : a review of Jing Wang's 'Brand New China'. Creative Industries Journal, 3(3).
Accepted Version
(PDF 26kB)
Jing Wang's book is confused about its audience and fails to give an adequate account of either the specific knowledge available to advertising research or the nature of Chinese consumption. In addition its critique of cultural studies is misplaced and misguided.

When/if it gets shot at the range.
Only because I like to include some practice with my carry ammo though, not because I feel a need to rotate it. Ammo doesn't "go bad" from age.......
This is a discussion on When do you rotate your carry ammo within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I was wondering how often some of you rotate the defense rounds you carry in your CC weapon. I try to get some trigger time ...
I was wondering how often some of you rotate the defense rounds you carry in your CC weapon.
I try to get some trigger time every month, so mine works out pretty good for me, but I was kinda thinking is it really necessary to worry about it anyway. I have dedicated boxes of carry ammo that I rotate the rounds to and from, at least once a month. Once the box is two to three months old I use it at the range. Wanted to see if others do anything similar.
When/if it gets shot at the range.
Only because I like to include some practice with my carry ammo though, not because I feel a need to rotate it. Ammo doesn't "go bad" from age.......
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
As long as it cool and dry It should keep, but under carry conditions and other variables the primers can go bad from over lubrication and other moisture, thats mainly what I'm talkin about.
I certainly wouldn't call you bad names if it makes you feel better to rotate your carry ammo though if that's your preference.
One thing that I am careful about, is unchambering and rechambering a round over and over again in a semi-auto. Doing so can result in bullet set-back and create dangerous chamber pressures. Because I like to use my carry magazines at the range, I always start a range session with my current magazine of carry ammo, rather than unloading and reloading. But it has nothing to do with rotating the ammo per se, but rather ensuring that I'm not causing set-back by unloading and reloading several times.
Again, my personal preference only.
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
Yeah, I see what ya mean. I have noticed a few bullets settling back a little when I take um to the range. I chalked it up to what you described, but I clean my CC weapons weekly, so some of that's gonna happen I guess, but I might just discard the rounds that show that type of wear instead of using um at the range. I don't want a Kaboom on my hands. Thanks for the advice. Cheers.
Most authorities on the subject recommend annual replacement. However, I've fired .44 Special ammo made in the late 1800's that worked fine, not that I'm suggesting it, just shows how long ammo will last.
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."
Edge of Darkness
When I clean my gun I rotate the previously chambered round to the bottom of the magazine. I will shoot that magazine at the range before it finds its way back to the top.
I may be overly cautious regarding the ammo I carry, but it's because I almost had a nasty experience a few years back. I have a Navy buddy who had a CZ 9mm and was going down town for the evening, but didn't want to carry his full size carry pistol, so I let him take one of my belly guns. He said I should shoot his CZ and see how I liked it. He had a ammo case full of lose 9mm ball ammo and said help yourself.
I took 50 or so rounds and went home for the evening. Outside my house where I had a make-shift range made from the side of a hill with plenty of packed dirt on it I fired a few rounds off. I got to another loaded mag and the first couple with off as expected, but then there was a bang, but not to loud of a bang, or at least not loud enough for me to think the round functioned properly. I didn't see the slide eject the case, I felt no recoil, so I racked the slide and ejected the empty case and inspected it. The primer was spent and the bullet was gone. I didn't see it hit the backstop as it was kinda damp weather and I wasn't really target shooting the pistol anyway. I slapped another mag in and started to rack it into battery and for some reason I was just concerned about the dud round. I took the mag back out and locked the slide and looked down the barrel and there it was. The Bullet from the dud round. I think we all know what would've happened if I continued without inspecting the barrel.
That was my first failure of that kind dealing with bad ammo and I haven't seen one like it since. I have had factory ammo that the felt recoil is significantly less from the round previously fired and both were from the same box of factory ammo, but were a few years old.
I would say proper storage can definitely add to the shelf life for ammo.
I have a friend who seals his inside freezer bags for storage, so I started doing the same a while back.
I rotated my back up ammo for my CC yesterday.
The speed strip somehow got left in my jeans pocket and was washed.
So It went to range yesterday and that ammo was fired. Worked OK just not comfortable carrying it as as back up ammo.
twice a year after biannual qualifying.
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
- Sir Winston Churchill
A few times a year; whatever I'm carrying when I go to the range, I'll empty my magazines and refresh.
Also--I try and keep track of rounds getting chambered, and and try to only chamber them 2-3 times; after that, they go in a spare mag for range use.
There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.--RAH
...man fights with his mind; the weapons are incidental.--Jeff Cooper
There is a reason they try and make small bullets act like big bullets--Glockmann10mm
Ammo doesnt go bad any faster in my gun than in the box. I only rotate the first 2 rounds that repeatedly chamber until noticeable setback occurs. Those I place in the "practice" box and get shot when I have enough to shoot.
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
I have the opportunity to shoot twice daily. The clip in my handgun gets emptied weekly and I can't seem to keep 100 rounds more than a month. Got some ammo set back but ammo in the box in a cool dry place will, in my opinion, last about as long as an Egyptian mummy.
I have about 400 rounds of carry ammo,I shoot the magazine in my gun about every 6 months,I don't clear my gun very often,maybe once a week to wipe it down if I haven't shot it

Gaylor, Barker join March Reason Rally
Nineteen humanist groups are planning for a Reason Rally on March 24 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Go to reasonrally.org for a complete list of speakers and entertainers, which includes Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers, Tim Minchin, FFRF Co-Presidents Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker, Taslima Nasrin, James Randi, Greta Christina, Jamila Bey, Bad Religion, Jamie Kilstein, Hemant Mehta, David Silverman, Todd Stiefel, Roy Speckhardt and many more.
Jessica Ahlquist, successful plaintiff in a Rhode Island case against the Cranston School District over a prayer banner, will also speak.
The free rally, which starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m., is slated to be the largest secular event in history. The goal is to unify, energize and embolden secular people nationwide. See page 24 to attend an FFRF dinner party before the rally.
Birth control gets federal victory
The Obama administration announced Jan. 20 it will give religious groups another year to comply with a rule requiring employers that offer employees health insurance to include coverage of birth control without out-of-pocket costs. However, the Washington Post reported, the rule and types of employers covered by it remain unchanged, which angered groups like the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which want a permanent exemption for employers who think Jesus would hate birth control.
The delay option isn't available to religious institutions that already offer contraception coverage, including many Catholic universities and hospitals in states that have their own birth control requirements.
While most Catholic leaders oppose birth control, about 98% of sexually active Catholic women use contraception, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a New York group that supports the use of contraception, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Indonesian beaten for Facebook post
An Indonesian civil servant who posted "God does not exist" on his Facebook page was taken into protective police custody afer being badly beaten, the Jakarta Globe said Jan. 19. The man, identified as Alexander, 31, now could lose his job or be jailed for up to five years unless he accepts one of six official state religions.
Alexander said he was born a Muslim but stopped all religious activities in 2008.
Cop whose wife died needlessly sues
Caleb Horner, a police officer in Lee's Summit, Mo., whose wife died at home without seeing a doctor, has sued the city, claiming he was fired because of his religious beliefs. Horner alleges the department refused his repeated requests to return to work after Misty Horner died in January 2007, 31 days after she home-delivered a stillborn fetus.
Police officials, friends and family pleaded for weeks with Horner to get help for Misty, the Kansas City Star reported Jan. 8. He claims she didn't want medical attention. She was a Lee's Summit police dispatcher.
Horner was fired in 2008 for failure to contact the medical examiner to report the death. Reports said he and friends spent 14 hours trying to raise Misty from the dead.
Misty's brother, Brian Pierson, said he went to see her as she lay dying, but was threatened by Caleb Horner and his friends. "He didn't feed her, didn't get her a doctor and kept her family away. He should have been [criminally] charged."
Fetal personhood pushed in states
Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel rejected on Jan. 3 a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban some abortions. McDaniel cited ambiguities in the measure submitted by Personhood Arkansas. He said the text was misleading about the relationship between the amendment and federal law.
The president of Personhood Arkansas, Preston Dunn Jr., said the amendment will be resubmitted. "We are determined. We will try to overcome any obstacles that come before us." If the proposal is certified, Personhood Arkansas would have until July 6 to collect 78,133 signatures.
Efforts are underway in at least seven states to adopt fetal personhood laws via constitutional amendments, including Wisconsin, according to NARAL Pro-Choice America. Voters in Mississippi and Colorado defeated personhood initiatives in 2011 and 2010. Federal lawmakers are circulating similar measures.
Sect: 'Western education is sinful'
Shortly before 8 a.m. Dec. 25, a Toyota stopped in front of St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Madalla, near the Nigerian capital Abuja, just as hundreds of worshippers were coming out. The driver then suddenly plowed into the crowd and the vehicle exploded, Der Spiegel reported. At least 39 people died.
President Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian, called it "an ugly incident." Boko Haram, a Muslim sect whose name means "Western education is sinful," claimed responsibility for the attack.
Swedish Kopomists say CRTL+C is sacred
Since 2010, the Swedish group Kopomi has been trying to gain official recognition as a religion to remove the legal stigma from file-sharing. According to PC World, the Missionary Church of Kopomism is now officially registered in Sweden.
Kopomi is Swedish for "Copy Me." Kopomists hold CTRL+C and CTRL+V as sacred symbols and believe "communication is sacred." Founder Isak Gerson, a philosophy student, said the church has more than 3,000 members.
Poll: Would you vote for atheist?
A phone survey conducted Dec. 15 by Poll Position asked 1,133 registered voters, "Would you vote for a U.S. presidential candidate who was an atheist?"
The poll found 58% said no, 27% said yes, and 15% were undecided or had no opinion.
Democrats (36% yes, 45% no) and independents (35% yes, 49% no) were more inclined than Republicans (12% yes, 78% no) to say they'd vote for an atheist to be president.
Ultra-Orthodox males spit on girl, 8
Naama Margolese, 8, is another victim in the struggle in Israel over religious extremism. A Dec. 27 New York Times story told how ultra-Orthodox men spit on Naama on her way to school in Beit Shemesh and called her a prostitute because her modest dress did not adhere to their very strict dress code.
Riots broke out in the area where her tormenters are thought to have come from. Hundreds of men and boys poured out of a synagogue and a seminary holding signs calling for the exclusion of women.
Can't convert 'em? Then kill 'em!
"Left Behind 4: World at War" went on sale in the U.S. just in time for Christmas. It's the latest video game based on Rev. Tim LaHaye's Left Behind series of novels.
Players assume the role of Christian gang members roaming post-apocalyptic Manhattan, according to publiceye.org. To score points and advance to higher levels, players must convert as many Jews, atheists or others who serve the Antichrist. If unable to convert the nonbelievers, players may kill them.
Christian video game publisher Left Behind Games Inc. is offering a free demonstration model to churches. "We see it as a beacon of light that could shine in the dark world of video games," said Director of Outreach Ministries Jerome Mikulich.
Hawaii, Delaware extend civil rights
CNN reported Jan. 2 on same-sex couples in the first minutes of New Year's Day in Honolulu becoming the first in Hawaii's history to enter into civil unions.
"We really don't want to wait any longer, because we have been together for 33 years waiting for the opportunity and our rights and everything that goes with it," said Donna Gedge, who was with her partner Monica Montgomery.
Delaware also on Jan. 1 became the seventh state to recognize same-sex civil unions.
Two churches are suing Hawaii state officials over the law: Emmanuel Temple the House of Praise and Lighthouse Outreach Center Assembly of God.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
trunk versus main trunk per stream? Will we agree on technology that will allow automation of time consuming functions such as view creation, labeling, and change promotion? The industry is not ready to dictate a CM standard other than from a high level process and best practice perspective.
User Interface?
A more promising approach might be to start introducing common interface elements that, in turn, imply some level of interoperability or perhaps data exchange capability. Some of the common interface elements might be:
- Source tree browser
- History browser
- In-boxes/to-do lists
- Gantt charts
- Delta and merge operations
- Baseline definition
- Problem report forms
- State flow diagrams
- Trigger and rule definitions
The goal here would not be to identify one tool's presentation over another, but rather to identify all of the common (i.e., must have) and all of the optional (e.g,. vendor variant) features. On its own this approach would not give us data interchange capability immediately. However, just as operating systems and computer languages are now largely hardware independent, it might allow the industry to settle more easily on what's under the hood because it's really the user interface that becomes the driving force. Even so, this would be a very long road to standardization of CM.
So Where Do We Turn?
How will we attain CM standards? I think we need to address the issue on several fronts. A mix of the above approaches and a stronger consensus on what are the best CM practices is a start. Existing CM process standards

Harrison headlines May card 18 in DC
By Gary "Digital" Williams
Photo: Brant Powell, 4th Street Films
Undefeated DC welterweight Dusty Harrison will headline a boxing card at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) Sports Complex on Saturday, May 18. EPIX is a sponsor of the card, called "Champion Class", but it has no plans to televise the event as of now.
The fact that the card is being held at UDC marks a special significance because Harrison, who will turn 19 three days after this card, will begin studies at the university in June. No word yet on the opponent for Harrison (14-0, eight KO's) who won a six-round unanimous decision over Jonathan Garcia.
One bout that has already been signed for the card marks the return of Upper Marlboro, MD heavyweight "Big" Phill Brown as he takes on undefeated Natu "The Truth" Visinia of Lakewood, CA. This will be the first bout for Brown (6-1, three KO's) since May 31, 2007 when he lost a six-round majority decision to Mike Sheppard in Glen Burnie, MD. Visinia (8-0, seven KO's) makes his return after an almost two-year absence. Visinia scored a fourth-round TKO over Kourtney Boden on May 31, 2011 in Santa Monica, CA.
A number of undefeated Beltway Boxing prospects are slated to compete on the card including Kevin "K-Smoov" Rivers, Jr., Mike "Yes, Indeed" Reed, Gervonta "Rambo" Davis, Devar "The Warrior" Ferhadi, Greg Newby and the debuting Yurii Polischuk.
The card is being promoted by All-In Entertainment, a company founded by Washington, DC attorney and entrepreneur Jeff Fried along with legendary poker player Phil Ivey and Monta Ellis of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks.

It has been over 10 years or more since I had touched my race skies or even been on snow! I ventured this year out with my brother to Idaho to get a taste of my previous life as a ski racer!! It was like being a little kid. Epic snow conditions beautiful days. Everyone had a nice laugh at our old skies and boots, but when it came down to racing well it was all cleared up as my old stuff still worked and I managed to take the win in my first snowkite event! Ken Lucus and I managed to take first and third in the Snowkite Soldier event for Cabrinha. A big thanks goes out to Trisha and Monty for all your efforts for a great event! Also to Dave Grossman with Drift snowkite Magazine and all the volunteers and helpers that put the effort to make this such a special time for us flying up from Florida!

It's time to re-boot the old blog brain.
Did any of you pay attention to this year's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show? If you did, you might have taken note that the most popular breed in the USA was again snubbed in the competition.
Yes. The Labrador retriever. As a matter of fact - no Labrador retriever has ever won Westminster's Best of Show.
I discussed this with Girlfriend and she wants you to know that she is not offended by this rude insult. To her it is all so much water off a duck's back. She's happy to do all the heavy lifting with the rest of the working breeds and leave the limelight to the fluffy, the odd and the ordinary lapdogs.
Speaking of lapdogs I have a day job. Thus, I hardly ever have an opportunity to listen to daytime angry radio. However, Friday found me on the road which afforded me the almost unprecedented opportunity to listen to most of Charlie Sykes' man-crush on the Governor. Just between you and me I think he peed himself.
How about that new Governor?
I had dinner with a Wisconsin business executive Friday evening and he hypothesized that there are probably more than a few blue collar types that wish they had a mulligan on the gubernatorial election.
You may agree or disagree with the Governor's proposal to eviscerate the collective bargaining powers of public employee unions but to couch this solely as a solution to solving the state's budget woes is a wee bit misleading. I think the Governor wants Wisconsin to be a 'right to work' state. In which case he should stop mincing around the subject and come clean. Man-up dude.
I double-dare him to say – I am the boss now. I have lived for this day. And once and for all I am going to crush the unions. I am going to crush you like bugs! Bwahahahaha. There is your dagger!
Speaking of cojones, what's this nonsense about legislating one set of bargaining rules for unionized fire and police and another set of rules for everyone else?
Unless I am mistaken I think I heard that the governor said he could not risk public safety by potential 'job actions' from public safety employees.
Is the Governor pandering? Or does the Governor have a pusillanimous streak that heretofore has not manifested itself?
Am I alone in thinking that fearless leaders should be consistent?
Good grief.
Speaking of notable leaders - I heard that the constitutional scholar and Republican intellectual luminary Joe the Plumber was in Madison to demonstrate his support for the Governor. I know if I had more than 60,000 people demonstrating around my castle I'd want Joe covering my back.
Regrettably, Sarah Palin's busy schedule did not afford her the opportunity to travel to Mad Town.
To her glassy-eyed disciples she said - Please don't be taken in by union bosses.
As long as we're on the subject of distinguished intellectuals I was watching The Late Show the other night and Paris Hilton was the guest. She was celebrating her (gasp) 30th birthday. Just like Joe the Plumber and Governor Palin - Ms. Hilton always has something extraordinarily cerebral to share with her audience of glassy-eyed disciples.
She said - I am in an amazing relationship.
I am comforted by this cornucopia of profound thoughts. American culture continues to advance. Crazy, eh?
Judging from the craziness in the capitol you'd think the circus came to town and some sideshow conjurer caused ordinarily intellectual individuals to lose their heads.
Paul Ryan thinks there are riots. To which I would reply – That's silly. You'll know you have a real riot on your hands when the National Guard and their Humvees are in charge of maintaining civil order.
That's not the end to the craziness. The Tosa GOP issued a breathless communiqué last evening bemoaning the plight of Senator Vukmir, Representative Kooyenga and Governor Walker.
They are being threatened and subjected to constant crowds, noise, vandalism and blocked restrooms. What are you going to do to support him?
Pardon me. Are you sure you're not confusing this with game day at Lambeau Field? Girlfriend says to get a grip. Water off a duck's back you know.
Am I the only person to have all sorts of Old Testament metaphors muddling around in their head?
Think about it. We've got a pharaoh. Fourteen members of the minority tribe have fled the kingdom only to find themselves wandering in the flatland. And pharaoh's high priest has ordered the temple guards to seek-out those who now wander the flatland, capture them, truss them-up and return them to the Promised Land that is open for business. Please pass the lamb's blood.
Such drama. Is there no role for Brett Favre?
In closing I wish to share with you a health care tip.
Stock-up on pain medication. Ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen, whatever. I'm not taking any chances so I refilled a prescription for vicodin. Nothing like having a strong narcotic on hand because there is going to be a boatload of pain going around very soon.
If you think the fracas in Madison is a big deal just you wait until the pain of shared revenue cuts arrives in Tosa Town. There will be your dagger!
The impact of that should be sinking home by midsummer. Right about when certain people on our City Council plan to revisit the subject of giving our Mayor a big fat pay raise.
Thank you for indulging this stream of consciousness. I feel better already.

Jimmy Conrad doesn't think beating Chelsea will escalate the image of American soccer one iota outside America.
And careth he doesn't. He'd like to impress a certain segment of fans
at home.
"More than anything, it's about winning over the American fan who's the World Cup fan," said Conrad, who mixed it up a few times with striker Didier Drogba in a spirited
first-half battle and incurred a few wounds on the back of his leg.
"I think games like this show that the perceived gap between MLS or American soccer and European soccer is closing. We
have players that can compete."
On two days of training and with clearcut directives from D.C. coach Peter Nowak, the MLS All-Stars exploited their superior fitness and ferocity to
knock off the two-time defending English Premier League champion Chelsea, 1-0, on a spectacular goal by the master of the memorable, Dwayne DeRosario.
His rocket into the top corner
from the edge of the penalty area in the 70th minute came somewhat unexpectedly, yet encapsulated a shift in momentum as the underdogs took the measure of their glamorous foes and eventually surpassed
them. At the final whistle, the All-Stars embraced, shook their fists at the crowd, and celebrated like the game actually meant something.
To them, it did. Nowak had made it clear from the
MLS perspective, at least, this game mattered.
"When we first got into Chicago, he just asked us to treat this like business and not a vacation," said defender Bobby Boswell, one of
eight D.C. United players named to the team, six of whom started. "I think you saw the result tonight that we took it pretty seriously. We wanted a result and that's what we got. We realized at the
end of the game we beat one of the better teams in the world and we were happy about that."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho had hoped he could get a strong 45 minutes out of most of
his players, but several of them fell far short of attaining that level. Andriy Shevchenko, with just seven training sessions with the club since the World Cup, labored futilely; Frank
Lampard and Michael Ballack were scarcely better, and the halftime inclusion of Joe Cole netted only a few minutes before he hobbled off with a knee injury.
"They were
sharp, they were fit," said Mourinho, whose team trained for a week in Los Angeles before coming to Chicago. "The difference in quality, because we have more quality, was compensated by their
condition. Their condition is much better than us. "But they play well. They played with a lot of motivation. They were playing not for the show, they were playing not to help Chelsea in preparation,
they were playing for a result."
Defender John Terry went the full 90 and bailed out his team several times with critical clearances inside his own goal area. Chelsea protested a
disallowed goal by the crunching Drogba, and was denied on a Lampard free kick when Troy Perkins snagged the shot a foot in front of the post.
Aside from a late flurry that produced
two dramatic saves by Joe Cannon, the nearest Chelsea came to scoring in the second half was when defender Facundo Erpen put the ball through Cannon's legs and nearly over the goal line
early in the second half.
Houston defender Eddie Robinson, who had replaced Conrad at halftime, raced back to sweep the ball off the goalline with a desperate slide.
that situation I'm always trying to make sure I'm behind him, just in case something like that does happen," said Robinson, who once backed up Cannon in San Jose. "I didn't think I was going to get to
it, I was sure I was just going to pound it into the side netting. But I just got to it. Whew! Then we got on with the second half and I think we made a good transition with as many subs as we made at
Two teams on vastly different talent levels and conditioning curves generated an even first half of sometimes crisp, more often listless, sequences that gave away to a edgier,
livelier second half despite, or perhaps because of, extensive substitutions by both teams at halftime.
The combination play of D.C. United's Jaime Moreno and Christian Gomez
seldom carved clearcut openings, and Houston teammates Brian Ching and DeRosario rarely clicked as well. But there were openings in the Chelsea defense. Chris Albright, playing
right mid in a 3-5-2 formation, delivered a few dangerous crosses, and knifed inside to spin a low shot just past the post. the ball Nowak made seven changes at halftime, Chelsea six, and within a
few minutes, Cole had hobbled off with a knee injury, Robinson had cleared off the line, and Freddy Adu had burst past fellow Ghanaian Michael Essien to force a corner kick.
was a huge help for us guys who came in the second half to watch the first half and see, you know what?, the guys are doing all right out there," said Robinson. "So that gave us a little confidence
and also a little extra push, as if we needed some, to not let those guys down. Let's continue this. :Let's not give anything up."
Uupon entering the game after halftime, Alecko
Eskandarian, Nate Jaqua and Ronnie O'Brien charged into the attacking third every chance they got, and shots began to buzz the Chelsea goal.
"We compete against each other, but
you could see this was a team on the field," said Nowak. "My props to these boys because of the game they play. We had a couple chances, they had a couple chances but Dwayne scored a great goal and we
got the win."
DeRosario struck after taking a throw-in from O'Brien on the right side and turning at the edge of the box to blast his shot past keeper Hilario, a summer signing
making his first appearance for Chelsea. DeRosario's jinking runs and mazy dribbles had already alarmed the English club on a few occasions but it didn't heed the warnings and let the man who moves
like a marionette steal the show.
"People probably thought we were going to go out there and get spanked," said DeRosario, a Canadian international who said this game was his World Cup. "We
showed them the caliber of soccer we have in America for those who really don't know the MLS. Maybe they watch it on TV and realize what kind of great stars we have, all of us."
The All-Stars
defense buckled a few times in the second half, but Cannon stood his ground to block a point-blank. shot from Terry, of all people, on a long ball that had eluded Boswell, and snuffed Ricardo
Carvalho from a tight angle on a corner kick that reached him at the far post in stoppage time.
At the final whistle, Cannon hugged United colleague Perkins mightily. A shutout of
Chelsea, albeit in its preseason, is still worth relishing.
"I'm excited for Troy, for MLS, for the coaching staff, for everybody involved in this game," said Cannon "You'll never forget it
for the rest of your life."

Local Non-Profit Needs a Truck
A locally-based non-profit known for sending care packages to our soldiers overseas is now providing free furniture for the homes of these soldiers upon their return.
Forgotten Soldiers Outreach has been taking donations out of its Furniture and Thrift Store in Greenacres and needs some help to continue doing so.
Forgotten Soldiers Executive Director Lynelle Chauncey Zelnar tells us her organization is looking for a $5,000 donation to allow them to purchase a used box truck or for a local dealership or car lot to donate a used truck in exchange for sponsorhip recognition.
Greenacres, FL - Last May, Forgotten Soldiers Outreach ("FSO") expanded their mission by opening up a Furniture & Thrift Store, to not only help raise the much needed funds for the on-going mission of sending Monthly "We Care" packages to our troops serving overseas, but now assisting our veterans and returning soldiers in need, by providing them with FREE furnishings for their homes.
The community has been so outstanding with support in donating great household items, it has created FSO's needs to grow, too. As a result, FSO is in dire need of a Box Truck, either one to be donated, or seeking a $5,000 donation to allow us to purchase a used box truck. The use is for pick ups and delivery of items. "When we first started, we were scheduling pick ups 3 days a week, however, now to meet with the public demand we are providing pick ups/deliveries 6 days a week. The rental of the Box Truck has been very costly, and it's taking away from the proceeds that can be used towards the mission, says Lynelle Chauncey Zelnar, Executive Director and Founder of FSO.
Zelnar says that "In order for the store to continue to thrive in benefiting our troops overseas and our veterans at home, it's critical we obtain our own truck. We really are looking for an angel to donate $5,000 to help us purchase a used truck, or for a local dealership to donate a vehicle to FSO. We would be happy to include them as a Sponsor of FSO and provide recognition."
In addition, due to the amazing generosity of the community, FSO is opening up another store in the same plaza (Buttonwood Plaza, located at SE corner of 10th Avenue North and Jog Road in Greenacres) next door to Curves. This store will include clothing, knick knack and overflow of furniture and children's toys.
Please help us with this need. If you would like to be our "Special Angel", please contact Lynelle Zelnar at the office at 561-369-2933 or store at 561-969-2222.
Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, Inc., a 501(c) tax exempt corporation has been sending monthly "We Care" packages since 2003 to our United States servicemen and service women serving overseas, covering all world theaters. Their mission remains to be able to reach out to those who receive little or no support from the home front, by assuring that they are not forgotten. FSO has benefited well over 350,000 of our U.S. troops, benefiting even thousands of more soldiers who are serving on active duty with U.S. Armed Forces.
Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, Inc., is a 501(c) tax exempt corporation and can be reached at 561-369-2933 or at www.forgottensoldiers.org for more information.

5 Reasons Why Ron Paul Is The National Security Candidate. Saman MohammadiPrisonplanet.com January 22, 2012 Ron Paul is not simply the anti-war candidate.
He is also the national security candidate. This is an important truth that is overlooked. Chile hit by violent anti-government protests. "The great depression is underway" – Celente.

"We want our money! " reads a banner dangling from the terrace of an American-themed diner and grill. Government alarm at citizens' revolt as tent protests spread. Israel's tent city protests over housing are growing by the day, and the mood of civil activism is spreading to other issues.
The voices saying this is a serious crisis for Binyamin Netanyahu and his government are getting louder. I visited a protesters in Jerusalem a week ago, and two days later I was in Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv, where the protests began and which is the biggest of the tent cities which have now spread to at least 25 towns. It was an impressive sight – literally hundreds of pop-up tents stretching the length of the city's most affluent street, populated by mostly young people.
There are debating areas, kitchens for creating huge communal meals, musical performances, poetry readings, TV screens – and genuine anger over the price of housing. Last night, the popular revolt against the cost of living focussed on a new issue: the price of bringing up a child in Israel. European policymakers struggle for united front to save Greece. Leaders of the 17 eurozone countries, plus European central bankers and commissioners, will hold an emergency summit in Brussels on Thursday in the latest, probably the biggest, effort to settle Europe's sovereign debt crisis.
The stakes are huge, with the leaders under enormous pressure from the markets, the Americans and the vulnerable parties in the eurozone to agree a new rescue package for Greece and more broadly to ringfence the euro. After 15 months of ad hoc measures, muddling through, and playing for time, Europe's leaders may be facing a date with destiny. Afghanistan government under threat after second assassination in a week. The assassination of a close ally and mentor of Hamid Karzai a week after the killing of the president's powerful half-brother has raised new questions over whether Afghanistan's precarious power structure could collapse even before the departure of western combat troops in 2014.
Jan Muhammad Khan was killed when two gunmen stormed his walled compound in Kabul on Sunday night, holding off Afghan security forces until Monday morning. The attackers also gunned down an MP from Khan's home province, Uruzgan, before being killed themselves. The assassinations of the two powerful warlords, who once seemed unassailable, have caused widespread shock. Ahmed Shah Behsad, an MP from Herat, said: "These killings show the weakness of failure of Karzai's politics. Rupert Murdoch's empire must be dismantled – Ed Miliband. Ed Miliband has demanded the breakup of Rupert Murdoch's UK media empire in a dramatic intervention in the row over phone hacking.
In an exclusive interview with the Observer, the Labour leader calls for cross-party agreement on new media ownership laws that would cut Murdoch's current market share, arguing that he has "too much power over British public life". Miliband says that the abandonment by News International of its bid for BSkyB, the resignation of its chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, and the closure of the News of the World are insufficient to restore trust and reassure the public.
Moscow to double in geographical size to ease overcrowding. US debt crisis: Obama warns of 'tax rise for all' if deal cannot be done. Barack Obama has warned that the US is "running out of time" to raise the limit on US government borrowing and that failure to do so will lead in effect to a tax increase for all Americans, because a downgrade of the country's credit rating would cause an interest rate rise.
The president's warning was reinforced by a threat from the ratings agency Standard & Poor's to strip the US of its AAA standing if no long-term political deal is reached to tackle government spending and debt. As Obama and Republican leaders in Congress continued to wrangle over the terms for approving an increase in the US's $14.3 trillion (£8.9tn) debt ceiling by the 2 August deadline – with Republicans rejecting Obama's demand that tax increases for the wealthy accompany sharp budget cuts – the president warned ordinary Americans of the seriousness of the situation.

"This is a great way for us to begin our preparation for the 2013 season," said head coach Andre Luciano. "Having two teams that have participated in the NCAA Tournament this past season as opponents will give us an accurate measuring stick of where our development is at this time from a physical, tactical and technical standpoint. I have challenged myself to prepare our student-athletes for a return to the Big Sky Conference championship, and this will be the first step in that journey."
Among the returning Lumberjacks slated for the spring season heading into the fall 2013 campaign are a trio of All-Big Sky performers in junior Lauren Weaver, sophomore Emily Roth and freshman Demi Schmieder. The three players were each named all-conference honorable mention in 2012. In all, the Lumberjacks are bringing back 13 players who started at least eight games last season in which they finished 5-9-5 overall and 3-3-3 in the Big Sky for a tie for sixth in the conference.
Arizona State finished the 2012 season fourth in the Pac-12 and made its third NCAA Tournament appearance in four years. The Sun Devils fell to third-seeded Baylor, 3-1, in the opening round of the national tourney and completed the season at 10-9-2. Meanwhile, BYU was one of four teams to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and was one of the final eight teams remaining before they fell to the eventual national champion North Carolina, 2-1, in the quarterfinals. The Cougars, the defending West Coast Conference champions, ended the 2012 season ranked No. 5 in the nation with a 20-2-2 record.
Game times for NAU's spring doubleheader on Saturday in Phoenix are 12:30 (Arizona State) and 2:30 (BYU).
