Now, McKee's wondering when the season or what's left of it can begin. ''It's been a roller-coaster ride,'' he said. ''I'd be awful surprised if we can't put something together.

IMHO, it is absolutely ideal for barbecue grilled meat and sauces. Deep purple tinged colour; nose of anise impregnated dark fruit. Palate was full bodied and generous, the fruit was sweet not savoury and was enhanced by Provençal herb, pepper and anise; the finish was supported by well covered ("enrobés") and tangy tannins and was quite long; not a trace here of parasitical flavour coming from oak. This is more generous but with less acidity than my memory of the 2004 and I think that it should be drunk up in the next 24 months; 16/20 QPR!.
It was a warm evening (c. 23°C/73°F) and the wine showed best initially at 16/17°C; warming up over the course of the meal, it lost some liveliness.

It's a puzzling riddle: If God is in charge of everything, then why do people who undergo profound suffering often profess the greatest faith? Shouldn't they retaliate at God by not believing in him? The commonsense answer might be "yes," but the facts seem to say otherwise. New research shows that New Zealanders who suffered from the devastating 2011 Christchurch earthquake actually became more religious afterwards than their fellow countrymen. What's more, those who lost their faith after the quake suffered significant reductions in their self-reported well-being. [Read more…]

For those of you who know me, you know I live in the Detroit area. I roam around the country as a consultant. I've been to probably 35 of the 48 states in the contiguous United States, including Ohio, and most of the time I keep myself very busy. Now, keeping in mind that I'm a Reds fan, I've never been to the Great American Ballpark. Heck, I never went to Riverfront and not one of my hundreds of business trips have ever taken me to Cincinnati. It's just plain weird.
So, I've picked up Red Sox tickets and I've bought Yankees tickets, but I've never bought Cincinnati Reds tickets. Never. I've bought Tigers tickets to see the Reds but I've never been to a baseball game in Cincinnati. It's like I'm saving myself for some reason.
And since I brought up the Red Sox, those fans are just crazy. Have you checked out how many Red Sox websites are out there. It's matched by only Cubs fans, but you have hundreds of blogs covering the team. Then you add on all of the Boston information blogs and a basketball website or two (you know they have a basketball team in Boston) and it just compounds the amount of information.
It's hard to believe I've been at this for most of five years. I know we've had our selection of guest writers, but the site has stayed intact for over four years and we're coming up on the fifth anniversary. I'm already losing a bit of my momentum though. This 1919 Reds diary is going to be tougher and more time consuming then I thought, at least if I want to do it right. Still, for not being a Reds Insider or anything, I think I do a pretty good job. I haven't done an All Decade team in a while and there's about hundred different ideas I haven't put into place, but it's been a nice run none the less.
The Reds open against the Mets this year and this carries into a second home series against the Pirates. Then it's ten straight on the road against some solid teams. I think we're going to get a pretty good indicator as to the Reds chances by the end of April. I just hope the indicators are good ones.

Gastric cancer is cancer that starts in the stomach.
Cancer - stomach; Stomach cancer; Gastric carcinoma; Adenocarcinoma of the stomach
Several types of cancer can occur in the stomach. The most common type is called adenocarcinoma. It starts from one of the common cell types found in the lining of the stomach.
This article focuses on adenocarcinoma of the stomach.
Adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a common cancer of the digestive tract worldwide. It is uncommon in the United States. It occurs most often in men over age 40. This form of gastric cancer is common in eastern Asia, parts of South America, and eastern and central Europe.
The number of people in the United States who get this cancer has gone down over the years. Experts think the decrease may be because people are eating less salted, cured, and smoked foods.
You are more likely to get gastric cancer if you:
Diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms may not occur in the early stages of the disease. Or, patients may self-treat symptoms that gastric cancer has in common with other, less serious gastrointestinal disorders (bloating, gas, heartburn, and fullness).
Tests that can help diagnose gastric cancer include:
Surgery to remove the stomach (gastrectomy) is the only treatment that can cure the gastric adenocarcinoma. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may help. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy after surgery may improve the chance of a cure.
For patients who cannot have surgery, chemotherapy or radiation can improve symptoms and may prolong survival, but will likely not cure the cancer. For some patients, a surgical bypass procedure may relieve symptoms.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Outlook varies based on how much the cancer has spread by the time of diagnosis. Tumors in the lower stomach are cured more often than those in the higher stomach. Chance of a cure also depends on how far the tumor has invaded the stomach wall and whether lymph nodes are involved.
When the tumor has spread outside the stomach, a cure is not possible. In this case, the goal of treatment is to improve symptoms.
Call your health care provider if symptoms of gastric cancer develop.
Screening programs are successful in detecting disease in the early stages in parts of the world where the risk of gastric cancer is much higher than in the United States. The value of screening in the United States and other countries with lower rates of gastric cancer is not clear.
The following may help reduce your risk of gastric cancer:

I do not specialize in marital therapy, but I occasionally work with couples using the Hendricks Couple's Dialogue and Imago Process. When couples learn and apply a detailed process of reflective listening and affirming, they are often much better able to accept the other's position. Partners also gain insight into the underlying causes their own and the other's stance. The process naturally builds trust and provides a skill the couple can continue to develop on their own.

Hands-on: Google's first tablet is undeniably impressive. Asus has done an almost miraculous job for the money, providing a device that not only matches its competition, but surpasses it on many fronts. Our only niggles are the lack of video output and memory card reader, but many won't even notice their absence. And to be honest, it seems a small price to pay when you're getting an attractive and slim 7in tablet with a superb, high-resolution IPS screen, Tegra 3 quad-core processor and premium-feeling build for under £200.
I know what you mean about £40 for what amounts to little more than an 8GB microSD, but the 8GB version would still be a steal at £199 so really have no problem with the 16GB being priced at that point. I think it's more a case of them pushing the price of the 8GB down as low as possible to undercut the Kindle Fire, rather than pushing the price of the 16GB up.
I've ordered the 8GB. This will be my coffee table browser, as I don't own a laptop. I've always needed something for casual browsing about the house, but wasn't willing to pay iPad prices for such a luxury. This fits the bill nicely.
I'm really torn between the 8GB and the 16GB version because I really want to save that 40 quid. I don't really store a lot of content but I want that freedom should I want to! Argh!!
I'll be selling my blackberry playbook to buy this but I want to have a play it it before I do. Which retail shops will it be available from?
I get the feeling (especially from the early positive reviews) that a lot of people who haven't considered a tablet up till now, will be enticed by the Nexus 7. I'm certainly tempted. I'll probably use it as more of a fallback device though, for when I don't have access to my main PC. The one decision is whether to go for 8GB or 16GB - I'm leaning towards 8GB like you.
Engadget just confirmed there is no MHL support: "We've now confirmed that the Nexus 7 does not support MHL, meaning there's no way to connect this over HDMI to get video output."
It's in an update to the review: http://www.engadget.com/201...
and at least this will kill off all those cheap Androids that were really rubbish and poor value in reality.
Now I predict ASUS will bring out a Nexus Prime in August with an aluminium unibody - mini HDMI - SuperIPS+ screen rear camera - and of course a SIM card slot - Its coming you can be sure
I'm pleased to see this device. But Google should think carefully about bucking the trend regarding growing storage and expandability.
Yes I want the cloud. But no, I don't want to HAVE to use it all the time. If this had 64GB micro SD slot support, I could put my DVD rips (homemade thank you very much) on it, my ebooks, my photos, my camcorder videos, recorded TV (media portal ts files play nicely with mx video app on android) and a few emulator games. I could relax knowing there's a decent selection for going on holiday, and to keep the kids entertained without an internet connection.
Yes I know Google would like me to pay for Google Play movies, but I don't want to because I need them to work in my HTPC and other devices too. I could cope with cloud backup but not less than 50GB+ on board; enough for a good selection of media at any one time.
They shouldn't be copying Apple and charging for storage, but copying Windows as it used to be, i.e. giving choice and opening the OS.
Android OS is more successful than Chrome OS, isn't it? I think I'll just wait for the Galaxy Note 2. Or a cheaper Galaxy Tab (thanks to competition from this.)
On second thoughts the 8GB would be okay as a home device, but I'd be using my server instead of the cloud in combination with ES file explorer.
When out and about my android phone could use swiftp (ftp server) at same time as wifi via Mobile AP?
Shame about the odd pricing of the 16GB model.
the review suggests that storage can be accessed via the USB port. It would be interesting to know if this is in fact the case. Is this device a USB master or just a slave ?
It's not clear yet. USB OTG has been confirmed on the kernel, however there is a question of what voltage is being supplied. Some devices like the Kindle fire only supply 3.3V, but USB devices require 5V.
We'll should know once Google I/O ends.
I live in an area on SE London due to get fibre-optic broadband some time towards the end of 2013, currently on a 1.4Mbps maxed out connection.
So I'll take the 64GB storage option please to have all my content locally instead of cloud based. What's that? There's no option for that much storage? Oh. Oh dear. Never mind then! :o)
I meant "in" SE London, not "on", damn you TR for not having an edit option! ;o)
Have you actually tried plugging in a storage device to the Nexus 7 microUSB or is this all conjecture?
From what I can tell you'll need to at least root the tablet
Well it's just been confirmed that USB external storage is NOT supported:
You can't connect external storage to the USB: http://www.anandtech.com/sh...
USB OTG - is not supported [i]navitely.[/i]
It IS functional via Root and with third part app via Google Play. Fat32 Supported read & write from device to memory cards / USB thumbdrives, NTFS read only I think. Files generally need to be copied from the USB OTG memory card source to the actual device in order to be displayed.
This is very good news. It virtually guarantees that full USB OTG functionality will be available on this gadget via customs ROMs pretty soon. I suspect the modding & hacking communities will be well behind this.
Booo to you Google for putting such paltry amounts of memory in it, then deliberately crippling the native support for USB OTG. How very Applewellian in behaviour.
All variations should fully support USB OTG in Jelly Bean 4.1, natively, and they should also sell versions with 32 & 64 GB + MHL support too with an HDMI out and micro SDHC slot for an extra $50-100. A $300 version will at these features would sell like hotcakes too.
I think the Nexus 7 is a marvellous product. The low profit margin (http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mob... means that this is fantastic value for money for a tablet of any description. This has certainly made me doubt the real value of an iPad, considering you can get more than 2 Nexus 7s for the same price.
The 'lack' of internal storage is a nothing criticism, in my opinion. I would never use a tablet or phone for music. That's what my iPod is for. For me, it would be an email machine and a portable web/facebook browser (plus perhaps Angry Birds and Flight Control) and for the price, I think you'd be hard pushed to find anything better. Therefore, for my purposes, 8GB is overkill.
To me the only oversight is the lack of mobile network connectivity - a 3G/4G edition (starting at £200) would make this a no-brainer for road-warriors.
My Mum's just got her Nexus 7 through the post. I encouraged her to buy one after she found netbooks too large and clumsy for travel.
I've had a little play with it while setting it up for her, and I'm very impressed with the tablet as reflected in the review. I've only used an iPad tablet before and the Nexus 7 seems just as good, if not better.
I was afraid of stutters and the user-friendliness of the ui but Android 4.1 is great and project butter seems to have paid off. Just one tiny mistake in the review: iPlayer isn't currently available for the Nexus 7. Something to do with flash not being available. You can download an unofficial iPlayer APK though.
I thought a 7" tablet might be too small (as Steve Jobs once said: "they're only good for surfing the web in the bathroom") but I prefer it to the 10" iPad. It's easier for travelling, easier to hold for long periods and would probably make a good reading device (especially for bed-time use). I'm so impressed that I think I'll get one eventually.
what do people use these things for? In view of the recent news that something like 50% of tablets gather dust in people's homes, I'm curious to know what use people envisage for their Nexus tablet, and whether they do actually end up using them in that way.
Do people use them to deliver audio/video? Or to browse the web from the sofa whilst watching TV? Or what?
I have to confess that when Apple launched the iPad I was one of the sceptics who thought it would never fly. And now, even though even I can see that clearly it has taken off, paradoxically I am even less clear as to what people actually do with them! I've had friends use them to subject me to their holiday snaps, I've seen them lying about on people's coffee tables, and Specsavers use them to show you a picture of yourself trying on their wares (a mirror does the same job...) but beyond that I am still mystefied.
Soon, my friend, soon. We're looking at implementing a new and significantly more usable commenting system soon.
I kindly donated my Nexus 7 as soon as I got it for this review so I haven't had a chance to see how easy it is to root and how well external storage works. I'm getting it back today and will investigate over the weekend and let you know the quickest and easiest way to get external storage working on it.
I just wasted 30 minutes of my life writing a mini review of my experiences over the last week using this device whilst travelling, only for TR's horrid website to hang forever after pressing the 'Post My Reply' with the message 'Please wait while we add your comment' like it often does. Neither posting anything nor allowing you to copy the text.
I will not be making that mistake again. [Img] Insert Angry Face Here [Img/]
Sorry to hear that ElectricSheep. We're looking into changing the comments system so hopefully such things will (one day) be a thing of the past.
We do value your comments!
Ahh, no worries Andrew, I should have copied it. Thanks for the reply, it's good to hear that a modified comment system is in the mix. Loving my N7 after a week of depending on it abroad; hating the lack of Flash support (sideloaded flash apk with FireFox apk and phoney addon) and the lack of a 3G version makes little sense as this is a cloud device.
I have a perfect copy, no squeaks or rattles, loose screens or dodgy pixels. From Ebuyer's first cheeky batch. Great gadget, especially for the dosh.
The netbook is dead - long live the netbook

Do you think of yourself as super organized? Do you think you're good at understanding the big picture and figuring out how things could work better? If so, you might make a great industrial or manufacturing engineer. Your job would involve organizing people, places, equipment, and information, ensuring that complex and large-scale systems operate safely and efficiently. You might keep a hospital operating room running like clockwork. You might make sure an assembly line runs smoothly both for people and machines. Or you might be involved in adding a little extra fun and convenience to people's lives by figuring out ways of making amusement park lines shorter, for instance, or by seeing to it that a big clothing chain always has every size of jeans in stock.

Hopefully Apple goes bold on this next update and adds a few new surprises to the iphone like no home button and make it a gesture phone. Add the more capabilities to the music app like editing info/artwork ect. Be able to add new music w/o itunes!!! Add thunderbolt or a better way to charge the thing. Make it waterproof?!?!! Bottom line, apple better change up the updates to the iphone and add something besides software updates
Haha, I'll rephrase that. Add new mp3s to the music app via the iphone itself from the internet or from dropbox ect. Same with videos. Kinda add on to the Apples way of thinking of completely separating the iphone, ipod, and iPad from computers and laptops. Have the same abilities as you in itunes on the iphone
all we really need from the iPhone 5
2. HD FaceTime
4. A5X processor or higher
5. much improved battery life
It would also be nice to have iPhones made from titanium and look similar to the rest of Apple's products.
And of course, we need iOS 6.0 to fix all of the issues we have with the iOS platform... but I'm not holding my breath.
I can't wait. Battery on my 4s is chit. So is the god awful buzzing static noise I get on 90% of calls. Sigh. Hopefully the new hardware will prove better. I'm also crossing all my fingers for a larger screen.
Btw I love the mockup in the original post. Edge to edge screen plus thinner top and bottom. Looks great!
Bigger screen would be nice
I really hope the iPhone 5 does not look like that.
I also hope they never remove the physical home. then how would we enter DFU mode to jailbreak and restore?
I gotta say, I really love the current design of the iPhone 4/4S (Am I the only one here?lol). To me it looks perfected. The device is actually very sturdy. My iPhone 4 has takin' some mean falls, and it seems pretty tough to me. With a bumper on, the edges are raised so it's well protected with even a small/thin bumper case on it. If the design changes too much, I'm not going any higher than a 4S.lol. That's just me tho. To each his own.
The current design is "almost" perfect. I say "almost" only because I wish the screen was maybe a 1/4" bigger. Even a half inch wouldn't be so bad........Any more then that is way too big IMO.
The edge to edge screen does not look too bad I guess......If only the curved edges and bezel back wasn't there (Which I think looks good actually, just scratches way too easily and just not practical IMO), and it was more square like.
[QUOTE=klouud;6467786]all we really need from the iPhone 5

I'll buy that iPhone outright and not worry about the upgrade fee. Doubt they'll give it that major of a face-lift though. )-:
I agree. I think that the current iPhone design is pretty solid. I see room for display enlargement. I'm not an engineer nor do I know if the internals could be situated so the display could be expanded further down towards the home button, up towards the receiver, and out to the edges, but that would be nice. Honestly, I don't find the new iPad very impressive, but then again I'm not a huge tablet person. I would like to think that Apple will give us a really great new gen iPhone. Let's hope the 4s and new iPad allowed Apple to focus on the design (physically & technically) of the upcoming iPhone. If not I'd sure like to know what the hell their wasting their time on. I really hope that the UI is completely redesigned (employee FIF7Y), because I cannot stand the stock UI. Apple has the capability to create a really sleek, clean, and dynamic interface.

LISTEN: Dirty South & Rudy team up for side project 'Ruben Haze'
Listen to Dirty South on iHeartRadio
Dirty South and Rudy have teamed up in the past before on songs like "Phazing" and "Let It Go," but it looks like the two are continuing their work together with a new collaborative live-act Ruben Haze.
To kick things off the duo is releasing a 4-track EP "City of Dreams," featuring a lead track of the same name - fans may recognize it from the collab Dirty South did with Alesso, also of the same name.
The music featured on the EP is focused on less of a dance sound and possesses more of a live element, putting more focus on the instruments and vocals. The rest of the tracks include "Phoenix," "Johnny Rocket Man," and a collab with Example "One Way Ticket."
They guys say in a statement, "We wanted to give ourselves a platform to put out music for years. Music for the ages. Ruben Haze gives us a chance to do that and throughout the past year Ruben Haze has truly taken on a life of his own."
"City of Dreams" will be available to pre-order on iTunes March 11th.
Check out previews of the "City of Dreams" EP and "City of Dreams" lyric video below:

Summer Slim Down: Easy Ways to Lose Weight Without Joining a Program
You don't need to spend money to belong to a diet program to see the same results. Just try following these helpful tips…
-Melanie Kozlan, Four Green Steps
Diet programs like Weight Watchers are a strange paradox: the people who are able to use them successfully are completely committed to losing weight, sticking to their diet, and not wasting money. Yet, those who fail are stuck feeling twice as bad since they've now wasted money on a calorie-counting system and discipline they didn't follow, and one that didn't stop them from gaining weight.
In reality, if you are the kind of person who is serious about losing weight and sticking to your diet, there is no need to join a diet program. Here are some of the easiest ways to slim down without compromising your health (or wallet):
Read 5 Easy Ways to Banish Cellulite
1. Write Down Everything You Eat
It may sound obsessive and annoying, but writing down everything you eat is a huge component of diet programs.
Why it Works: This is a great way to analyze what you're eating and see what food groups you're missing. It will also prevent you from binge eating or indulging in junk food as you become more disciplined and don't want to write anything embarrassing on your list. You can count calories if you really want to, but most people are well aware of the nutrition quality of what they're eating, especially once they see it in the context of a list.
Take it Further: If you would prefer to count calories, Nutritiondata.com is a free site that lets you track what you eat, offers a free nutrition analysis, and logs your water intake and deducts calories burned from exercise. Basically, if you want to join a diet program like Weight Watchers, this is the site that lets you do it for free.

Charlie Rangel sues Boehner for ethics censure
(NEWSER) – Charlie Rangel has sued seven lawmakers, including John Boehner and former House ethics chair Zoe Lofgren, in an effort to overturn a 2010 ethics censure,Politico reports. Rangel says the ethics committee withheld relevant evidence in the case, which resulted in a 333-79 House vote in favor of a censure, USA Today reports. The suit refers to a withheld memo pointing to flaws in the investigation; had Rangel known about it, he would have called for a dismissal of the probe, the court documents say.

New GSA Program Streamlines Mobile Device Management Across Government
May 30, 2013
WASHINGTON -- Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the launch of GSA's Government-Wide Mobile Device Management Program [PDF - 861 KB] as part of the Administration's Digital Government Strategy (DGS). Developed in partnership with agencies across government, GSA's Managed Mobility Program streamlines the procurement process for agencies to access Mobile Device Management, Mobile Application Management, and Mobile Lifecycle Management solutions through existing government-wide contracts and purchase agreements.
GSA's Managed Mobility Program complements the recently launched FSSI Wireless, which lowers prices and transforms how government buys wireless service plans and devices similar to commercially-available "family plans" from major wireless carriers. The GSA Managed Mobility Program embeds mobile management seamlessly into an agency's IT portfolio.
"With the near-universal adoption of smart mobile technology across the federal workforce, GSA's role as America's Buyer for the mobile work environment is more important than ever," said GSA Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini. "GSA's Managed Mobility program gives agencies the tools they need to buy once and buy well, saving taxpayer dollars and keeping pace with leading-edge mobile technologies."
GSA's Managed Mobility creates and maintains a list of potential sources of supply that meet the greatest number of government requirements. Agencies can use the Managed Mobility program's central repository, information, and staff to help buy the solutions that best meets their requirements.
"GSA has done the initial work to define requirements, identify potential sources of supply, and secure some baseline pricing to help agencies budget for these purchases," said GSA Assistant Commissioner, Office of Integrated Technology Services Mary Davie.
GSA's Managed Mobility program will improve efficiency around mobile technology purchases across government. For more information, visit the GSA Managed Mobility website.

The National Association of Credit Management (NACM) recently sent a new letter to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), the culmination of a series of meetings among staffers in Whitehouse's office and members of NACM's Government Affairs Committee. Below is a copy of the letter as it was delivered:
Sent August 27, 2010
Honorable Sheldon Whitehouse
Hart Senate Office Building
Room 502
Washington, D.C. 20510
Hart Senate Office Building
Room 502
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator Whitehouse:
NACM greatly appreciates the chance to work with your office and with others on S. 3675, the Small Business Jobs Preservation Act, in order to make it as beneficial as possible to small businesses and the economy at large. However, in its current form, we have found numerous provisions that we believe would do more harm than good for both the debtors and creditors involved in bankruptcy cases, as well as for the greater American economy. We continue to support the principles of efficiency and expediency in bankruptcy, but must object to certain specific portions of the bill that we believe are contrary to its stated goals.
The following are some alterations that we would make to S. 3675 as it was first introduced:
-Firstly, the procedure outlined by the bill should not be elective, and Section 1181 should be altered or removed to reflect this. While the bill necessarily includes provisions that shorten deadlines and increase supervision in small business cases, NACM believes that, given the choice, most small business debtors would opt to take their chances with Chapter 11 rather than adhere to the bill's admirably more stringent deadlines and increased supervision. Allowing debtors to choose when these provisions will apply could very easily defeat their intended purpose, and drive more small businesses into a Chapter 11 process that is ill-suited to fit their needs.
-The bill's current arrangement that allows creditors' committees only to form on court orders should be altered to more easily allow the creation of these committees. Specifically, in Section 1182(b) of the bill, reference to Sections 1102 and 1103 should be removed and these provisions dealing with creditors' committees should continue to apply in all cases arising under this statute. As outlined in our previous letter, NACM considers the right to form this committee a benefit to both creditors and debtors. While we recognize that, in most small business cases, no committee is ever formed, the right to do so should remain readily available. Therefore, we believe the bill should be altered to require the U.S. trustee to send out notices in order to form a creditors' committee in every case, just as they would in a normal Chapter 11. However, the statute should also be changed to indicate that if after 30 days no creditors' committee is formed, control over the case would then revert permanently to a standing trustee to be appointed in the case. This offers creditors a fair enough chance to join and participate on a committee without slowing down the debtor's progress through bankruptcy.
-Section 1189 of the bill provides that only a small business enterprise debtor may file a plan and must do so no later than 90 days after the order for relief. NACM believes that other parties, such as the trustee or creditors' committee, should be allowed to file plans as well. This provision should be altered to allow the small business enterprise debtor the exclusive right to file a plan for 90 days after its filing, at which point other parties may be allowed to propose plans of their own. As suggested in our prior letter, should no plan be confirmed within 180 days of the filing, the Code should direct the court to enter an order converting the case to a Chapter 7 liquidation, barring the debtor's ability to show substantive circumstances that would warrant an extension.
-Section 1182(b) of the bill should also be changed to remove the reference to Section 1125, which deals with disclosure concerning and solicitation of a Chapter 11 plan. Section 1125(f) and the remaining parts of Section 1125 that currently deal with small business bankruptcy cases are intended to protect creditors by promoting the dissemination of sufficient information to explain the terms of the plan and should be retained.
-Several provisions in S. 3675 pose a significant threat to the absolute priority rule, which NACM believes should be maintained in all small business filings. Deleting the Section 1129 provisions, referred to in Section 1182 of the bill, in small business cases, including Section 1129(b) and Section 1129(a)(15), eliminates the protections that should be afforded to creditors who may object to a debtor's plan, whether the debtor is a small business or an individual. Section 1129 in its entirety should be allowed to apply and Section 1182 of the bill should be revised to ensure that these protections are maintained. Additionally, Section 1193 of the bill should be removed in its entirety. Keeping Section 1129 intact obviates the need for this additional language as now the small business debtor will still be required to show its compliance with all of 1129 in order to achieve confirmation. Removing Section 1193 of the bill, and allowing Section 1129 of the Code to remain intact would preserve the absolute priority rule, which requires the full payment of any class of unsecured claims that does not accept the plan before any distribution can be made to junior interests, such as the debtor's shareholders. This is designed to protect the right of unsecured creditors to oppose a plan while preventing the filing of insider plans that do not provide fair treatment of unsecured claims. The related discharge provision in Section 1194 of the bill should also be removed.
-Section 1193(e) of the bill, which permits a debtor to pay administrative expenses claims, including claims for post-petition goods or services and claims under Section 503(b)(9) for goods sold pre-petition and received within 20 days of the Chapter 11 filing, over time following the effective date of a Chapter 11 plan should be removed. Section 1129(a)(9)(A), which currently requires a debtor to fully pay all administrative expense claims in cash on the plan's effective date should be retained in order to encourage the continued extension of trade credit to small businesses both before and after their Chapter 11 filing.
With regards to the Bankruptcy Code at large, NACM continues to maintain its position on preference reform, which is that the burden of proof for a preference claim should be shifted from the creditor to the debtor or trustee. Philosophically, the current preference statute considers creditors guilty of receiving a preferential payment until they can prove themselves innocent, violating a fundamental tenet of American jurisprudence: that individuals are innocent until proven guilty. Shifting the burden of proof to the trustee would align the preference statute with this fundamental concept and, moreover, would also be consistent with the goal of S. 3675. Preferences fall hardest on the nation's small businesses, and shifting the burden to the debtor would allow creditors to maintain the integrity of their business while also increasing the chances that they would sell goods to a bankrupt debtor on credit right when the debtor is most in need of credit.
NACM believes that this shift in the burden of proof can be achieved by amending Section 547(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides the statutory requirements the trustee needs to prove in order to avoid any transfer of an interest in the debtor in property. Two new subsections should be added to this section of the Code and Sections 547(c)(2) and (547(c)(4) should be removed.
Subsection (6) would read as follows:
(6) that was not in payment of a debt incurred by the debtor in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the debtor and the transferee; was not made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the debtor and the transferee and was not made according to ordinary business terms; and
Subsection (7) would read as follows:
(7) only to the extent that the aggregate amount of the transfers made to or for the benefit of the creditor exceeds the aggregate amount of new value that the creditor gave to or for the benefit of the debtor, which new value is not secured.
The "and" between subsections (4) and (5) of Section 547(b) should be deleted and an "and" should be inserted between subsections (6) and (7) as indicated.
Adding in these two subsections requires the trustee to investigate the nature of the payment the trustee is attempting to avoid to ensure that it is not protected by the ordinary course of business defense, which creditors are currently responsible for proving under Section 547(c)(2).
Simultaneously, with the addition of Section 547(b)(6), Section 547(c)(2) would be removed. The proposed Section 547(b)(7) also limits the amount of a preference claim to the difference between the new value given to or for the benefit of the debtor and any payments received by the creditor from the debtor within the 90-day preference period. This change is consistent with the "net result" rule that existed prior to the adoption of the Bankruptcy Code, and would eliminate further litigation on the application of the new value defense under Section 547(c)(4), which would be removed while simultaneously adding Subsection (7) to Section 547(b). These changes would also encourage creditors to continue extending credit to a financially troubled company, replenish the debtor's bankruptcy estate with new goods and services, and promote equality of treatment among similarly situated creditors, all policies that Congress had intended to enact when first creating the preference statute.
NACM looks forward to working further with you and your office on making S. 3675 an effective bill that restores the balance between creditor and debtor in the bankruptcy process, while helping small businesses work through their economic struggles and allowing them to save and create jobs.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Muhlenberg often expressed regret that he had written "I would not live alway."
Muhlenberg was naturalized in 1754 as a subject of Great Britain.
The vote stood 49 ayes to 49 nays, and was decided in the affirmative by Muhlenberg, who was in the chair.
"Let us have an understanding about this," said the dying Muhlenberg.
Although Muhlenberg never married, he had a very deep love for children.
As a member of the committee Muhlenberg contributed four original hymns to the new collection.
In Africa it is supporting two women missionaries at Muhlenberg, Liberia.
Nearly all the hymns of Muhlenberg that have lived were written during his earlier years.
These plans, alluded to in the Muhlenberg letter, are printed in Mr. Gallatins Writings.
The Chairman, Mr. Muhlenberg, to give an opportunity further to consider the resolution, voted for it.

Support the Teaching Geography Is Fundamental Act
Send Letters to Congress: 17,564 Letters Sent So Far
Geography has long been recognized as a "core academic subject" in federal education legislation. However, unlike all the other core academic subjects, including history, civics, economics, foreign languages and the arts, there is no dedicated federal funding stream to advance geography education. As a result, our nation is facing a crisis in geographic literacy that is jeopardizing our global competitiveness, our position of diplomatic leadership, and our ability to fill and retain over 500,000 high-wage jobs in geospatial technology in the next decade.
The Teaching Geography Is Fundamental Act (TGIF), Senate Bill 370 and House Resolution 822, is federal legislation which would authorize grants to universities and nonprofit organizations for programs to expand geographic literacy among American students and improve the teaching of geography at the K-12 level.
TGIF authorizes $15 million per year for five years.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Athletic Department is hosting "Tornado Tipoff" as the Brevard College men's and women's basketball teams take the court for the first time in front of the fans for a season preview on Thursday, October 28th in Boshamer Gymnasium.
The Tornado Tipoff is a great opportunity for fans of all ages to not only meet the Tornados winter sports teams, but their coaching staffs and the BC Athletic staff as well.
The two teams this year feature 21 players hailing from the state of North Carolina, including a number of local players such as Whitney Galloway (Rosman, N.C./Rosman HS) from the men's basketball team and Asheville natives and AC Reynolds high school graduates Amber Roberts, Brianna Worley and Amanda Whitaker.
The Tipoff will start off at 6 p.m. with a ticketed, catered meal by Poppies Gourmet Market held in the auxiliary gymnasium, where Coach Michael Jones, Coach Shannon Reid and several of the Tornados student-athletes will speak about the upcoming 2010-2011 season.

How to Cook With What You're Drinking
"A'bunadh is natural, straight from the cask, with the influence of sherry," says Alan Winchester, distiller of The Glenlivet. "It's a lovely dram on a cold winter night. Warm, and rich."
Day 1: Aberlour A'bunadh
"I like Woodford because it's an easy-drinking, sophisticated bourbon without overpowering wood notes," says Neal Corbett, of Aberlour. "I enjoy the sweet honey and caramel notes with the undertone of toasted coconut and vanilla. Ever since that Christmas, drinking Woodford brings back fond memories of family gatherings and special times, when I would offer my guests a dram with a difference from across the pond."

Logan • Utah State had to sweat out a 66-60 win against San Jose State on Friday night.
Even though the Aggies were at home. Even though the Spartans were playing without their leading scorer.
It was a close shave for Utah State, which had its highest fan turnout of the year. Preston Medlin didn't disappoint, scoring a season-high 25 points for the Aggies. It was his late free throws that helped pull the team out of tight spots caused by its own turnovers.
The Aggies led by as much as nine, but San Jose stubbornly stuck close behind, despite playing without leading scorer James Kinney. DJ Brown led the Spartans' effort with 16 points.
Jarred Shaw was also a strong contributor in the victory, scoring 12 in a double-double effort.
Utah State improved its win streak to 13 games.

The consensus process is indispensable to genuine self-governance.
By Amy Bowen
If you have ever stood in a cold rain for three hours, agonizing over a single proposal alongside fifty of your fellow Occupiers, you will understand why some people are less than enthusiastic about using the consensus process. However, the critical benefits that the process imparts to democracy, and the inherent meaning it provides to its citizen participants, makes enduring a bit of discomfort and tedium not just worthwhile, but necessary.
The Occupy movement is based on a leaderless consensus model. Decisions are made horizontally in order to replace the need for leaders, who by definition make egalitarian organization impossible. We have been falsely represented by our elected officials; what we want now is the ability to govern ourselves with equality. Our commitment to true, participatory, egalitarian self-governance is evident by the very nature of our occupation.
It is no coincidence that the most vocal critics of the consensus process tend to be, well, vocal. In their everyday lives, they tend to direct rather than be directed, and to interrupt rather than be interrupted. Those accustomed to dominating others, whether deliberately or not, may struggle to patiently engage in healthy, consensus decision-making, which aims to achieve equal participation and the consent, if not the agreement, of all.
With simple majority rule, the minority simply loses. We should reject this oppression of the minority, in favor of a living, evolving consensus, a transformational process which can accomplish things unattainable independently. This is synergy in its purest form.
It is important to note that the process does not mandate unanimous approval. It seems that this hodgepodge mix of fiercely independent Occupiers almost never agrees unanimously on anything, at first.
Rather, when a proposal sparks disagreement, the process aims to ensure that every unique dissenting voice is heard. Each dissenter is allotted a certain length of time to express the reasons why they do not fully support the proposal. The group then considers the reasons for dissent, reevaluates the proposal, and perhaps alters it in light of these new ideas. This may take a little longer than dictatorial decision-making, but it ensures cohesiveness, which is crucial to our success as a movement.
Any decision-making method is only valuable to the extent that it assists us in accomplishing our goals. Therefore, if at any time the process becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the occupiers to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new form of self-governance. Indeed, if we didn't believe that, we wouldn't be here.
For those who have never been able to shout loudly enough to be heard, the General Assembly stands in radiant contrast to the unfeeling power of majority rule. And contrary to Mr. Johnson's belief, the danger is not to be found in the process itself, but in its abandonment.

I say a very nice Graphical fake!
Come on people, why oh why do these things keep popping up, just wait for it to come out and that's that!
Simply be patient.
if you clame this is a Graphical Fake
why is it still on the vodafone shop at this url ? Apple iPhone 4 Bumper - Weiß Mobilfunk- und Handyzubehör - Vodafone Online Shop
Also , this has been appearing all over Vodafone.de
Could someone be so kind and tell me what time (GMT) apples announcements will start tomorrow.
5pm GMT but we are on BST here so it will actually be 6pm here in the UK?
Apple cant release new iphone design so called iphone 5 because:
1) apple is aware of the fact that people in many countries have used discounted upgrades for i4 and most people can't upgrade for 1 more year.
2) look at the pattern, each gen came after 2 years each. 2 years each design.
I bet that they are just gonna upgrade hardware, not design
I have checked the link you've passed on though in the drop down list it isn't showing at all. Maybe it was taken out I don't know, though my note was strictly on the aspect of being patient and not jumping into further rumours and speculations when it hasn't been launched PR anything.
Yes the big hype is on full scale, & yes it's a buzz but let's be patient :-)
(I tried to add screenshots from the link given to present that the drop down list isn't showing it, but for some reason I don't have privileges to post photos on this post)
ok seriously.. the show a screenshot of the MENU!!! if the page is there... why not show us the ******* actual page? we dont want to see the menu!

Medellin, COLOMBIA - Rising sophomore Thomas Awad earned bronze in the 5,000 meters on Friday night at the Pan-American Junior Games in Medellin, Colombia. His Team USA and Penn teammate Brendan Smith finished sixth in the steeplechase on Saturday.
Awad, who won the USA Junior championship in the 5,000 meters and is already third all-time at Penn in the event with a career-best mark of 14:04.24, finished third behind a runner from Mexico and another from Brazil.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
You don't have to be a teen to appreciate this pretty hole-in-the-wall boutique on the far southern edge of the West Wash Park neighborhood, but if you are, it's guaranteed you'll like its style, which is less cookie-cutter, with a hand-curated selection of clothing all priced under $100. There's a vintage vibe in the look here, but not overwhelmingly so: Twirl's flippy, polka-dotted minis, put-together tops and go-with accessories are hip and sweet, dressed up or down, making the store a great place to go with a friend (or a whole shopping party, as Twirl suggests) for an afternoon of shopping.
Recently relocated from northeast Denver, Masters is a serious wholesaler of art supplies, but the public is also welcome in the shop, where a helpful staff assists price-conscious artists and students seeking the best deals on canvases, wood panels, easels, paints and other essentials. Whether you buy in bulk or are just seeking the right materials for a special project, this place is a thing of beauty.
The name may be Taste of Denmark, but it's buttery goodness that you really savor here. Come in the morning and choose from a wide array of breakfast goodies: dark-brown whirls of cinnamon-heavy cinnamon rolls; almond-topped bear claws that shatter into rich, golden flakes; puffy chocolate croissants; and row after row of tender Danishes cradling pools of custard, jam or an irresistible mix of both. Cherry hand pies, with filling tucked inside large circles of shortbread, raspberry Pop-Tarts with frosting and sprinkles, and chocolate-dipped Napoleon hats stuffed with almond paste are just as tempting, making this the kind of place where you apologize profusely to the nice woman behind the counter for making her ring you up so many times, and try (in vain) to reach the car without taking bites of three different things.
Along with talent to spare, part of the secret behind the success of burlesque madams Eve and Cora Vette is in their sparkly costumes, which are put together by hand with a lot more know-how than the ordinary Joe would ever suspect. They bring the expertise of the musical-theater world into play to stitch up their come-hither looks, and now you can drop in to their Wazee Union showroom to see their custom pinup, rockabilly and burlesque wares firsthand. Don't be caught without a spare pair of pasties, girls. There's no excuse, now that VaVaVette is here.
Denver has a sweeter side, and Sugarlicious Denver does more than cater to it: It satisfies this city's sugar needs. This Cherry Creek store has an entire wall devoted to bins housing over 250 different candies and treats, including oodles and gobs of retro and hard-to-find goodies as well as nut-free and vegan delights. The collection of gift baskets and bags makes last-minute sweet-giving a no-brainer; your toughest task is deciding between fruit gummies and sours, chocolates and truffles. And don't forget to take a few fistfuls home, just for the sugar-sweet hell of it.
Coloradans had plenty of marijuana-related meetings, conferences, protests and contests to choose from over the past year. But the most haze-filled, hashed-out event was the Extract Artists Unite Secret Cup, which took place at the Oriental Theater in December. Organizers Daniel de Sailles and Selecta Nikka T managed to bring an entire community together under one smoke-filled roof, pitting thirty hash makers against each other in a grassroots contest to see who could produce the best hash and BHO. The event may change its name in 2013, but we're looking forward to attending it again.

Tickets can be purchased at the Koger Center box office, (803) 777-5112, or charged by phone, (803) 251-2222.
The festival brings seven South Carolina dance companies to the stage, representing the best of dance artistry. The dance troupes include:
--Carolina Ballet Theatre, performing "Map" by leading international choreographer Alonzo King;
-- Charleston Ballet Theatre, performing the new work "Abracadabra" by award-winning resident choreographer Jill Bahr;
-- Columbia Classical Ballet, performing "Etude," staged by Radenko Pavlovich;
-- Columbia City Ballet, performing a portion of the ballet "Dracula," choreographed by William Starrett;
-- Unbound Dance, Columbia, performing "What I Cannot Control," choreographed by Caroline Lewis-Jones, Unbound Dance co-founder and co-artistic director;
-- Wideman/Davis Dance, USC Dance's resident professional company, premiering "You, me and them";
-- USC Dance Company, premiering an original work by Gianni Di Marco of the Boston Ballet.
Victoria and Joe Hollins have been named honorary chairs for the event.
The USC dance program has distinguished itself as one of the top dance programs in the Southeast, offering students specialized instruction and professional-level performance opportunities in classical and contemporary dance.
