Professor Davies will argue that demonstrating that life has appeared more than once on Earth would be the best evidence yet that it must exist elsewhere in the Universe."Royal Society meet to discuss if extra-terrestrials are here on Earth"
He told The Times: "We need to give up the notion that ET is sending us some sort of customised message and take a new approach."
According to Professor Davies, "weird" microbes that belong to a completely separate tree of life, dubbed the "shadow biosphere", could be present in isolated ecological niches in which ordinary life struggles to survive. Likely hiding places include deserts, scalding volcanic vents, the dry valleys of Antartica or salt-saturated lakes.
Not all are convinced by the "shadow biosphere" concept. Colin Pillinger, who led the Beagle 2 Mars landing mission, said: "I prefer to deal in scientific fact -- this is wildly science fiction. You'd be off your trolley to go searching for arsenic-based life."
Professor Pillinger, who is due to speak at the Royal Society today, argues that Mars remains the best bet for finding alien organisms.

Research and Presentation by Finance Faculty Member Wins Honor
A working paper by Allen Poteshman and MIT collaborator Jun Pan won the first place award at the Chicago Quantitative Alliance meeting held in September. Poteshman presented "The Information in Option Volume for Stock Prices" as part of the academic competition at the meeting, which featured a presentation by Nobel Prize winner Vernon Smith of George Mason University. The other finalists for the academic competition honor were from Harvard Business School and the University of Maryland.
In their research, Poteshman and Pan found strong evidence that option trading volume contains information about future stock price movements. The pair used a dataset from the Chicago Board Options Exchange for 1999-2001 in their analysis. The data showed that "buying stocks with low put/call ratios and selling stocks with high put/call ratios generates an expected return of 40 basis points per day and 1 percent per week." This outcome was not affected by the exclusion of earnings announcement windows and was also stronger for smaller stocks. The pair believe that their data also reveal the likely type of investors behind informed option trading. The complete working paper is available online.
Poteshman is an assistant professor in the Department of Finance where he is currently teaching graduate courses on investments and financial derivatives. He holds a PhD in Finance from the University of Chicago. He joined the Illinois faculty in 1999.

ShoreTel's New Webinar Outlines the Real Costs of IP Telephony and Unified Communications
When considering the purchase of an IP telephony and unified communications solution, an assessment of the total cost of ownership (TCO) is critical to sound decision-making.
To get a true picture of total cost of an IP telephony and UC deployment, ShoreTel has produced a free Webinar that brings together industry experts and presents a new Nemertes survey of 211 companies to offer a comparative determination of TCO for industry vendors for a range of company sizes.
The Webinar, "Understanding the Real Costs of IP Telephony and Unified Communications," drilled down on Nemertes' key TCO findings regarding first-year costs, operational costs, full-time equivalent staffing, and mobility features of IP telephony and UC deployments.
Experts who participated in the Webinar were Irwin Lazar, Vice President and Service Director, Nemertes Research; Joe Craven, Chief Information Officer, Dow Lohnes; Eric Bowling, Vice President of Sales, IPC Technologies; Bernard Gutnick, Senior Director, Product Marketing.

With this new beginning, comes the hope of a new season. The hope surrounding a team whose fans might me more focused on the prospects making it to the big leagues than on actual big league roster. Even with that considered, there are plenty of things to watch out for in Florida over the next few weeks.
There are position battles at different spots across the diamond, questions about the composition of the pitching staff, and some familiar faces making their return to Minnesota. This team's 25-man roster is far from set at this point in the spring and there are tough decisions still yet to be made.
Joe Mauer moves to first baseFor the first time in his big league career, Joe Mauer didn't have to report to camp when pitchers and catchers were required to be there. Mauer is moving to first base and this will mean a very different spring training for himself. He can work on refining his defense at his new position and the position switch will likely mean he gets more at-bats throughout the season. This is all good news for Twins fans especially if he can stay healthy and tap into some of the power he has shown in previous years.
Fight for the fifth spotThe Twins stocked up their starting rotation this offseason with pitchers like Ricky Nolasco, Phil Hughes, and Mike Pelfrey. With Kevin Correia already under contract, this leaves one starting spot open to a slough of players. Sam Deduno, Scott Diamond, and Vance Worley are all out of minor league options. If one of these men wins the fifth spot, the others would have to find a place in the bullpen or be passed through waivers. Younger pitchers like Kyle Gibson and Alex Meyer also have a shot but will likely end up in Rochester.
Top prospects in campThere has been plenty of hype surrounding Miguel Sano since he was a teenager in the Dominican Republic. Flash forward to this season and he will be forced to the sidelines for most of the year as he will have Tommy John surgery. Byron Buxton has been the talk of the prospect world over the last few months. He lived up to the hype in his first season but he hasn't played a game above the High-A level. There is even more pressure on Buxton for this season with Sano out so it will be interesting to see how he handles it. Other eyes will be watching top pitching prospect Alex Meyer as he could debut in 2014.
Where will the offense come from?Only the Astros and the White Sox scored fewer runs than the Twins last season. The team spent all of their offseason allowance to fix the pitching staff and this left little for offensive upgrades. Kurt Suzuki was brought in to replace Mauer behind the plate but he hasn't been known to hit the cover off the ball. Minnesota hopes Jason Kubel will have an offensive rebirth in his return to the Twin Cities. Younger players like Aaron Hicks and Oswaldo Arcia need to prove they can be big league regulars. It would also be nice for a healthy Josh Willingham to get back to his career averages.

Kevin Ryan is misinformed.
When the aviation mall is built the owner can put any kind of aviation
business in there including air taxis (jets 30 seats or less) and
jet charters (30 seats or less)such as Net Jets and other jet companies, and jet engine repair. All this and more without going before the planning commission or the city council. It is not
The single engine pilot is not the aviation market this aviation mall
is targeting. They will be forced out as the Livermore Airport is turned into a jetport (jets 30 seats or less). Kevin Ryan can
find this out by talking to the single engine pilots at the Santa
Monica airport. They say, they have been forced out.
A local pilot, Brett Wayne, stood before the Livermore City Council and said. "I will stand here holding Wendy Weathers' hand, and
ask you not to turn the Livermore Airport into a Jetport". This
is public record. He knows single engine pilots will be forced out.
The Livermore City Council has never used the word serenity, either
in written form or spoken and neither has the Livermore City Staff.

Livermore should move the airport to all the land available in North Livermore, Just north of 580 and N.Livermore Rd. There is a ton of land to build a brand new airport. This would free up the current( and extremely valuable)location for light business and mixed housing that will be easily accessible to BART and 580/Isabel. Builders already have plans to develop North Livermore into a giant town unto itself(e.g. Mountain House). I have lived 3 or 4 miles from the airport for 12 years. Sometimes it is annoying, but mostly OK. The worst noise comes from the smallest , hobby planes trying to fly into a head wind. 95% of the new jets that fly in or out are undetectable or barely noticeable! But, worse is the amount of pollution we all injest from the jets! I would hate to see any major carrier using it as a stop for the bay area. Maybe Urban Habitat could prepare a lawsuit to move the airport! Yeah, low income subsidized housing for aircraft! I hear that stimulus money-printin machine firing on all three cylinders!

Two years after he turned his back on the free-to-air television industry,
The raid on the Ten share register late yesterday afternoon, which was conducted by UBS for one of Mr Packer's private companies, stunned the media industry, which had assumed Mr Packer had lost interest in free-to-air TV and was focused on his gaming and pay TV interests.
UBS paid $1.50 a share for most of the stake, a modest 6.4 per cent premium to Ten's closing share price of $1.41 yesterday. "Packer's move on Ten is a big surprise," said one senior media executive, who did not want to be named.
"After he walked away from Nine, everyone assumed Packer was no longer interested in free-to-air TV. Looks like everyone was wrong."
In a statement to the stock exchange on Wednesday morning, Ten Network said it had yet to be formally advised as to the party that has acquired these shares.
Mr Packer largely exited the free-to-air TV industry between late 2006 and late 2008, progressively selling chunks of PBL Media – which includes the east-coast Nine Network stations and ACP Magazines – to private equity firm CVC Asia Pacific for more than $1.7 billion.
Until now, Ten's largest shareholder was
Mr Gordon's investment company, Birketu, owns 12 per cent of Ten. Media ownership restrictions prevent him from owning more than 14.9 per cent. Perpetual has about 9 per cent after selling some shares to Mr Packer yesterday.
Ten's share price has been weak in recent months, sliding 20 per cent since late April, in part because of concerns about its weakening share of the TV ad market and declining audience share.
"Maybe Packer's move is just a share play and he thinks Ten shares are undervalued," said one analyst.
"Maybe he thinks he can help extract better earnings from Ten, although it's hard to see how, given how tightly it is run."
Mr Packer, who last week spent $200 million to lift his stake in gaming company
Ten executive chairman
The Ten board will meet tomorrow morning ahead of the release of the company's results for the 12 months to August 31.
Sources close to the board said the meeting would not be brought forward and, as of last night, there was no formal defence mandate.
Mr Packer's stake in PBL Media dropped from 25 per cent to 0.07 per cent in late 2008 when he decided not to participate in a recapitalisation of the debt-laden media group.
The sliver of PBL Media is owned by
Consolidated Media's key interests are 25 per cent of pay TV operator Foxtel and 50 per cent of Premier Media Group, the producer of pay TV channels such as Fox Sports.
Ten has not had a controlling shareholder since September 2009, when Canadian media group CanWest Global Communications sold its 50.1 per cent stake to institutional investors for $680 million, ending its 17-year involvement with Ten.
CanWest spent eight months during 2006-07 looking for a buyer for its Ten shareholding.
It talked to several private equity firms, including Carlyle Group, Hellman & Friedman, Merrill Lynch Capital and Blackstone Group. Some were prepared to pay a maximum of $2.80 a share, or 30¢ below CanWest's asking price of $3.10.
CanWest's search for a buyer meant Ten could not participate in the 2006-07 shake-up of the media sector triggered by the Howard government's easing of media ownership restrictions.
"Other media companies such as
(A preliminary plan to merge Ten and
Mr Falloon and Ten chief executive
On August 26, Ten predicted it would report a 37 per cent jump in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to $208 million for the 12 months to August 31.
Earnings from its TV division were expected to increase 36 per cent to $193 million, while earnings for Eye Corp were tipped to rise 50 per cent to $15 million. Although the full financial results of the Nine and Seven networks are not released publicly, Ten executives consistently claim their TV network generates a fatter profit margin than its rivals.
Ten has benefited from the 20 per cent jump in the capital city free-to-air TV ad market this year, but its audience share has declined and it has failed to reach the 30 per cent revenue share target set by Mr Blackley.
The high ratings of MasterChef 2 this year were not enough to counter weaker ratings of key Ten programs such as The Biggest Loser, House and So You Think You Can Dance.
Ten has also been hurt by the digital channels introduced by its rivals over the past year, particularly Nine's Go, which is aimed at people aged 16 to 39, a key part of Ten's core target market of 18 to 49s.
With the full-year results well-telegraphed, analysts said the market would focus on Ten's 2010-11 outlook comments, particularly its cost guidance, and the impact of the weak ratings of its coverage of the Delhi Commonwealth Games earlier this month.
Deutsche Bank analyst Andrew Anagnostellis predicted that after rising 3 per cent in 2009-10, Ten's costs would jump 9 per cent during the 2011 financial year, thanks to "higher underlying operating and programming costs" and the additional costs created by Eleven and the two news programs Ten will launch next year.

Im currently trying to experiment on 2 new monowall boxes that I built. I
figured it would be easier for me to network them locally to config before
actual deployment. My main aim is to also test a few things like DHCP
relaying across IPsec VPN.
What I have currently is 2 machines with 3 NICs each (LAN, WAN & WLAN) and
each machine has a cross over cable to my laptop (one at a time depending on
which one Im configuring). The two WAN NICs connect via a crossover cable if
the WAN interface is set to a static address. To simulate a WAN I have
attempted give the WAN NIC a static IP of 66.66.66.xx on each and created a
VPN connection. For the meantime I have set the WAN NIC to have no port
restrictions to the LAN interface. But the IPsec VPN doesnt come up after
specifying the other machines' static IP as the gateway in the connection
properties. I dont think this is wrong?
So what I tried next was setting the WAN ports to DHCP and the two new monos
got an IP from my DHCP server after disconnecting the cross cable and
plugging the monos and the DHCP server onto the same switch. The DHCP server
gives out a different IP range to that of both mono's LAN subnets. I can
ping both machines from one another from the WAN interface and my newly
edited IPsec VPN connection doesnt come up. I am attempting to use Blowfish
and SHA1 with a simple shared key and have used the same settings as one I
used successfully before.
I have set both machines to identical VPN connection settings, except the
obvious IPs and Gateways.
Is there something im missing? Or do I really need to have each machine
hanging off the end of a DSL connection?
I feel as though I may not have some routing in place somewhere but since
each machine can see the other on the WAN connection I think it should
work - but it aint!
This is what my system log says after a fresh reboot.

Here is a quick look at the fourth quarter campaign reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. It shows that incumbent Democrat Tim Walz has a decisive advantage over his GOP challengers when it comes to money. Here is the breakdown.
Allen Quist, of St. Peter, leads among the Republican candidates with $32,853 in contributions. He has $30,781 on hand. He also loaned his campaign $4,000.
GOPer Randy Demmer, of Hayfield, raised $19,200 and has $10,176 on hand.
Republican Jim Hagedorn only raised $5,150 and had cash in hand of $5,105. The fourth GOP candidate, Frank McKinzie, has yet to establish a federal campaign committee.
Compare the Republican fundraising hauls to Walz's war chest. He raised $237,941 in the fourth quarter and has $421,203 in cash on hand.
Just out of curiosity, I looked at the fundraising totals for Republican candidate Brian Davis, who unsuccessfully challenged Walz for the seat in 2008. At this point in the campaign, Davis had nearly $80,000 in cash on hand. But it is worth noting that when Walz won the seat in 2006, he had $40,309 on hand at this point in the campaign.

A Low Key Family-Friendly New Year's Eve Celebration
Host a low key New Year's Eve party and celebrate with the entire family!
Host a low key New Year's Eve party and celebrate with the entire family!
I love to plan parties, go to parties, dream about parties, write about parties - you get the idea. It's somewhat ironic that when it comes to New Year's Eve, which is a major party occasion, I'm mostly indifferent. I blame it on Y2K.
I was a college freshman during the turn of this century, and this was the year celebrations stayed low-key. I stayed home like many others waiting to see if the world stopped turning or any computers blew up. It was all for naught, of course, but that experience stuck with me. Since then, I've mostly spent cozy nights in with family and friends on one of the biggest party nights of the year.
I'm now a mom with young kids who cherishes evenings spent at home. Being the party-lover that I am, I know I can easily create a special night just right for us.
Little Ones Can Experience Their Own Ball Drop
Since my girls are little, bedtime is usually by 8:00 p.m. While that may come later on this night, they won't get to witness the great ball drop for a few more years. So, we will make one, or more, of our own.
I'm thinking silver balloons, glitter and glue. This idea from How Does She is perfect - but rather than fill the balloons with little activities alone, I'll add in lots of glitter! That alone will make New Year's Eve the best night ever for my little ones, but there are other treats, too.
Make it Special Without Too Much Fuss
We will dress up in fancy clothes, make special NYE party hats, have a desserts-only dinner by candlelight, go outside and twirl a few sparklers, and then come in for hot chocolate, and a movie everyone enjoys.
I want to introduce the concept of resolutions, write them down and store them with the Christmas decorations to discover next year, too.
Then, it's bedtime for the five and under pair with promises that they'll wake up to a brand new year.
Don't Forget Your Own Celebration!
My husband and I will grab a couple of glasses, head to the deck out back and try to make it to midnight with a special champagne cocktail. I'll probably cheat and watch the ball drop in New York, which is 11 p.m. in my time zone, and fall asleep. He'll wake me up as the clock strikes midnight for a quick kiss.
Our New Year's Eve celebration is definitely low-key, probably boring to many, and it's perfect.
Making the Traditions Last a Lifetime
I recently read a magazine article that confirms my approach to the holiday. The writer said she didn't know New Year's Eve was any different than any other day until age 13 when her parents let her stay up and take part in their yearly tradition of steak, bubbly and movies.
After trying out the party scene, including New York's Times Square, she discovered her favorite memories were those at home with Mom and Dad, and she tries to make it back on December 31.
I don't want to deny my girls the fun of celebrating New Year's Eve. How else will I instill in them the importance of going on an organizing frenzy in the new year if they know nothing about sending out the old one?
I have no problem, however, with our annual New Year's Eve party of four being an event they always want to attend, no invitation required. I'll try my best to make it one they look forward to every year.

Business heads get ready for another tough year...
ECONOMIC stability is the key wish for 2013, industry representatives have said.
ECONOMIC stability is the key wish for 2013, industry representatives have said.
Business leaders spoken to by the Guernsey Press said they were preparing for another tough year.
Confederation of Guernsey Industry chairman Richard Battersby, pictured, said it would be a result if 2013 matched 2012's economic conditions.
'It all starts with the state of the general economy and there is little sign of a solution to the problems in Europe and America,' he said.
'We have to break away from this cycle of chucking more and more money into the economy and interest rates that are causing huge problems for the people who make the backbone of the economy – the savers.'
Comments for: "Business heads get ready for another tough year..."

Couldn't agree with Mr Battersby more.

Created: February 13, 2006
Latest Update: February 13, 2006
Jeanne posted this message (No. 9920) on transform_dom this morning:By the way, I tried to post and couldn't last week that Barry Munitz, the former Chancellor of the California State University system, resigned as president of the Getty Trust. YES!!!!! This was the man who headed this system when so much that harmed this school in terms of discouraging and disrespecting faculty, students, and the needs of our students was done.Not much time right now. Software issues to work out. But since some of you didn't know Barry Munitz as Chancellor of the California State University System, I need to give you enough background that you can understand my transform_dom discussion message on his resignation, now as President of the Getty Trust. I may have his title wrong. Check it at Harm to Workers When Corporate Ethics Ignored, a backup of the Los Angeles Times article that I mentioned in the post that was lost last week.
He resigned "without admitting any wrongdoing," but in a settlement to repay I think it was $250,000 to the Getty Trust, and with NO SEVERANCE PACKAGE of something like 1.2 million that was in his contract. The President of the Board, or Chair of the Board, or whatever said that he was sure Munitz would have liked the severance if they'd offered, but they didn't.
Maybe that's not perfect retribution, but we seek love and peace, and I'll leave retribution to God. (Guess that means I believe in God, but I almost never think in such terms) Anyhow, the Munitz resignation means that sometimes our leaders do stand up and demand an end to the injustices. May we all take succor from that and recognize the importance of continuing to raise our collective voices in support of fairness and justice.
Munitz hurt, through his lieutenants, so many caring and committed teachers I can't even begin to count them, and didn't know of all of them. His shenanigans or those of his lieutenants (I didn't know him, only his lieutenants) [so demoralized me] that I fully understand the descriptions I read of the despair and frustration of the Getty staff. May peace and love and caring and focussing on real education return for all of us."
love and peace, jeanne
When accountability for budget use is ignored in a bureaucracy, even a very well-off bureaucracy (like the Getty Trust), those who are privileged by their membership in the elite administrative group, or their loyalty (and recompense) to those who are in that group, take liberties in providing themselves with what we call "perks." That is, they get more travel, better travel airline seats, better hotels, better expense accounts. They are permitted to fund their "pet projects." The are given access to funds for food and entertainment and showcasing that other members of the staff do not get.
I guess the best way to say it would be right now, it's like having an Abramoff on their side. Lots of us; well, maybe I should say, some of us, won't fudge on our ethics for such small recompense. I don't think I would for even much greater recompense, but since no one ever offered me a whopping Abramoff "advantage," my claim must go untested. When there are cliques, as there are now in so many levels of our government, morale amongst the staff degenerates. You aren't rewarded by the effort you make and reasonable successes; you are awarded for providing what the ruling clique wants.
Details help, so let me give you a personal example. One of our ex-presidents at the college told a visiting vice president that there were lots of other programs (besides one that we had that had been highly successful) that were less "labor intensive." In other words, one of his values (and he was under Munitz) was that a program be non-labor-intensive. It was my program. The message I got was that I needed to produce successful programs that were "quick and dirty," and by "dirty" I mean that they should take advantage of the most skillled students, so that we wouldn't have to work so hard to get those who were less advantaged up to a level where their performance would be equally impressive. I found that demoralizing. Same president called me "whacko," in a fairly open administrative meeting, so, of course, I heard about it.
More details: I couldn't get a computer which I needed to teach with, even though I had been awarded one on a grant application. Some of Munitz' favorite administrators got elaborate technological equipment which they took with them when they were forced to resign. I felt demoralized.
Faculty complained. The president lost his cool and yelled at them according to one of our leading faculty, causing the faculty member to try to pass a Senate Resolution that administrators should respect faculty by not shouting at them.
I tend to raise my voice, so I guess I shout more than I should, but the idea of respecting each other seems like a good one to me. As I seem to recall, that resolution never did get passed. Others complained, too, though I might have been the only one who absolutely screamed at the same president when he floundered at taking effective action when I was assaulted by an upset faculty member. The upset one was a friend of one of the clique, and I opposed the clique. So I yelled. Bad manners, yes. But near the end of my tolerance, yes.
Such things happen when people are pursuing their own self-interest because the chief administrator is following his own agenda and paying less attention to the broader mission of the institution. These are the kinds of things I imagine happened that led to: "Vocal Munitz critic Barbara Whitney said, 'I cannot begin to imagine how happy and relieved the thousand people who work there are." In August 2004 she left her post as the Getty's associate director for administration and public affairs.' . . . 'There has been a lot of damage done, and I have a lot of confidence in people who work in that organization and hope that they'll not be so worn down," she said."
That's how I felt when I read about his resignation: "happy and relieved." Finally, someone had enough power and authority to put an end to the injustice, whatever it was this time. I guess I don't believe in coincidences so much to believe that it's just a coincidence that it happend at the Getty, too. These things are hard to document, because none of us want to wash such dirty linen in public, so we speak in generalities, and suffer recriminations. And once it erupts into major disagreements in which people demand audits, everything gets muddy. It's hard to tell what's really going on. I'd like to see Jim's old resolution passed in the spirit in which he meant it, kind of like we mean it on transform_dom. Let's just respect each other and try to solve the real problems our communities face - that's more than enough to keep us all fully occupied.

The need for innovation and ingenuity in industry is greater than ever before. The last year has seen mergers and consolidation proliferate as companies seek new synergies and strive to obtain greater productivity and efficiency in their operations. The same drive for higher performance is also seen in the utilities sector, where providers of electricity, water and gas face new competitive pressures.
No matter what the sector – utilities, pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, mining, consumer goods, automotive, shipping or energy recovery and refining – ABB has a solution, called Industrial IT.
Industrial IT is an ABB concept, and it will profoundly change the way businesses operate. On one level, it is a way to integrate all of a company's business processes – supply, production, control, management, sales and distribution – into a single system that can be accessed and controlled in real-time onsite or via the Internet. It provides structured information to managers who need to make decisions now, not at the end of the month.
But that is only the beginning. Industrial IT is also a way to link the company with its suppliers and customers to form a seamless web of real-time communication in which information essential to their relations with one another is exchanged freely and immediately. It creates a kind of community of purpose that allows them to achieve an entirely new level of partnership and collaboration along the whole value chain.
With the launch of our Industrial IT concept, ABB aims to provide its customers with this capability.
Plug-and-produce industrial systems
One of ABB's goals is to have all its offerings Industrial IT-enabled. The new designation is a guarantee that each product can be integrated with other Industrial IT-enabled products on a plug-and-produce basis to form an Industrial IT solution. ABB's growing portfolio of Industrial IT building blocks ensures that all the components for new enterprise systems are compatible and available from one source.
Industrial IT across the entire value chain
In many respects, Industrial IT is a vision, a concept that describes in one term ABB's business model and strategy for the future. It is also a solution – hardware, software and services – that can be integrated into a common platform for the customer's automation, management and sales systems.
Earlier in the year, ABB launched a series of software systems that cover the entire value chain and that link up to form a seamless whole integrating the manufacturer with suppliers and customers. These systems range from design and engineering to procurement, production and order fulfillment. Each system is part of the ABB Industrial IT concept and bears the "IT" mark in its name. They are open and compatible with all major standards and can be accessed and controlled via the Internet.
A fully automated papermill in Australia
One of the world's first Industrial IT plants is currently under construction at Tumut, in New South Wales, Australia. The plant, a pulp and paper mill owned by Visy Paper of Melbourne, will contain a complete process automation system that will link up with the company's other software systems as well as those of its customers and suppliers.
ABB was awarded the US$ 35-million contract in November 1999, with completion scheduled for the first half of 2001. ABB is responsible for the automation and control systems which, when operative, will allow the customer to monitor all aspects of production in real-time. The system will also enable Visy Paper to meet strict environmental regulations by monitoring its air and water emissions.
The order is the largest ever for ABB's SmartPlant™ system which monitors the plant and automatically recommends changes to keep it running optimally. The mill will have a production capacity of 250,000 tons of pulp and paper a year.
Industrial IT solution for wastewater treatment plant
An order worth more than US$ 4 million was awarded to ABB in November by StoraEnso for a new wastewater treatment plant at its newsprint mill at Hyltebruk in Sweden. The mill is one of the largest in the world and is located in an environmentally sensitive area immediately adjacent to a river.
The solution integrates components from three Industrial IT product families – OperateIT, ControlIT and EngineerIT – into a single system that will provide information on the wastewater plant in real-time to operators and employees at the mill. The OperateIT human interface is a command center for the process operators, giving them a complete overview of the process plant at all times; ControlIT components handle process control and integrate production data with open information systems; and EngineerIT provides user-friendly tools for system design and configuration.
ABB is also supplying the instrumentation and electrical system including the delivery and installation of all electrical equipment. StoraEnso has been using ABB software systems for many years.
Joint venture enhances ABB's Industrial IT leadership
ABB's Industrial IT vision includes the seamless, real-time integration of business transactions with the production processes of an enterprise. To achieve this vision, ABB formed a joint venture with SKYVA International, a leading provider of fourth generation business software for the networked economy.
The joint venture will develop, market and, through ABB channels, deliver domain-specific, Web-enabled solutions for the real-time integration of business and manufacturing processes.
In addition, the SKYVA software enables ABB to fulfill the vision of Industrial IT by providing collaborative solutions for the networked economy, seamlessly linking the business processes of suppliers, manufacturers and customers. The alliance enhances ABB's position in Industrial IT while leveraging ABB's domain competence and the innovative Web-enabled technology of SKYVA International.
Industrial IT and automation center to open in Singapore
ABB plans to open an information technology and automation center in Singapore. The center will allow ABB to adapt its solutions to the Asian market more effectively and get them to customers faster. It will also enable ABB to develop new solutions jointly with regional customers.
The center was announced in November and will be completed by late 2001. It will include an eBusiness support center for Asia, a customer call center, a central logistics center, an R&D hub and a training facility.
The Asian automation market makes up some 20 percent of the global market in areas related to ABB's businesses, and is currently growing at about double the world average.
Acquisition of strategic pharmaceutical software technologies
In October, ABB made an important acquisition of strategic pharmaceutical software technologies from Base Ten Systems of the United States.
The acquisition will enable ABB to deliver a complete IT solution that covers the entire value chain in the pharmaceuticals industry. ABB is already the leading supplier of industrial automation systems for chemical synthesis, which is the opening stage of pharmaceutical production. The acquisition of Base Ten's Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) software and its international project services team enables ABB to extend its offering to the final stage in the value chain of pharmaceutical production.
Acquisition of French automation group broadens market coverage
ABB announced in September that it had acquired the French process automation group, Cellier Group S.A., from Groupe ICBT of France. The acquisition provides ABB with additional IT expertise to bolster its automation offering in a number of important markets and industries.
Cellier designs and installs complete production units and process and control systems for the paper, lubricants, paint, oil and chemical industries. It also delivers software that makes it possible for control systems developed by different companies to communicate with one another. Open communication between systems is a key element of ABB's Industrial IT concept of the fully integrated enterprise in which all systems are linked together, can communicate with each other, and can be easily monitored and controlled from a single workstation.
Cellier is based in Aix-les-Bains and employs about 175 people.
Swedish IT company acquired
ABB has acquired Prevas Engineering from Prevas, the Swedish IT company. The acquisition brings considerable expertise to ABB in the fields of eBusiness, telecommunications and Industrial IT. Prevas Engineering delivers complete solutions for production systems, thereby complementing ABB's overall Industrial IT strategy. The company has 60 employees and is based in Gothenburg and Västerås.
New industrial drives and high-speed motors
ABB expanded its ACS 6000 industrial drive product line in 2000 with a new set of high-speed alternating current (AC) drives for use in compressors, pumps and other equipment in the chemicals and oil and gas industries.
New high-speed motors use an innovative magnetic bearing system to replace oil bearings used in conventional gas turbine drives. They reduce costs and improve safety and environmental performance. Just as important, the magnetic bearings are easier to monitor and control. Capable of operating at speeds as high as 15,000 revolutions per minute, the new drives have an electrical efficiency of 98.5 percent.
The automated warehouse
The rapid growth in eBusiness is fuelling demand for fast and efficient logistical systems that allow Web-based companies to meet rapidly growing delivery demands. ABB's SattStore system is a full-function warehouse management and control system that covers everything from cranes, conveyors and monorail systems to order processing, quality control and labelling. The whole system can be linked with standard Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. For example, ABB has built a standard interface between SattStore and the BAAN ERP system.
The most advanced car-safety center in the world
Volvo cars have built their name on safety. Their reputation is based on designing vehicles that can protect the people in them from injury in an accident.
In the summer, Volvo opened a new car-safety facility in Gothenburg, Sweden. The facility enables Volvo to stage various types of collision between vehicles and a variety of objects, and to collect and analyze large amounts of data relating to the effects of a collision.
ABB designed and installed two control systems as well as an 800-metric-ton collision barrier that is moved around the facility on air cushions.
Giant robot-like cranes bound for Hamburg
An order worth approximately US$ 16 million was received in the summer for 22 automatic, remote-controlled container cranes for a new container terminal in Hamburg, Germany.
The cranes are 40 meters wide and 25 meters high and can be likened to giant, unmanned robots, each of which can cover an area containing up to 1,500 containers. They are equipped with advanced information systems which enable the cranes to load and unload trucks by remote control. The new concept is based on laser technology and has previously been sold to Singapore, the largest container port in the world.

Table of Contents, Foreword, Preface and Introduction
Preaching for Justice and Reconciliation (adapted from Missional Preaching)
Pastor, professor, and missionary Al Tizon introduces the essentials of missional preaching and then offers chapters grounded in biblical themes for mission, including:
- Alternative Community
- Holistic Transformation
- Justice and Reconciliation
- Whole-Life Stewardship
To illustrate how those themes may be proclaimed from the pulpit, Tizon invited sermons from leading Christian preachers, including:
- Greg Boyd
- Shane Claiborne
- Brenda Salter-McNeil
- Ron Sider
Those looking for a resource which combines preaching with the aims of the missional church will appreciate Tizon's in-depth look at the integral relationship between the two.
Editorial Reviews:
"Al Tizon gets what lies at the heart of the missional movement—that it represents a sea-change in identity and life for the churches of North America. He also gets that once that is clear, preaching can never again be the same. With this book, Tizon makes a major contribution to the emerging field of missional preaching by focusing not on how but on what and why and to what end. Here is an overarching curriculum, in a widening evangelical vision, guided by the revelation of the missio Dei in the scriptures, a worthy conversation partner for day-to-day, week-to-week preacher-teachers of the church." —George R. Hunsberger, Professor of Missiology, Western Theological Seminary, Founding Coordinator of the Gospel and Our Culture Network
"Al Tizon brings together critical theological and pastoral insights in ways that strengthen the call and practice of preaching for the sake of the kingdom of God. His honest, passionate, and experienced pastor's voice is strong and encouraging. He leaves us with the sense that the mission of God is not only urgent to share, but possible to enact. Preaching has its essential contribution to make and Al Tizon helps explain why and how." —Mark Labberton, Ogilvie Associate Professor of Preaching and Director of the Ogilvie Institute of Preaching at Fuller Theological Seminary
"Missional Preaching truly fills a void in the missional conversation. This book is not about the 'how' of preaching, but the 'what' and even more so, the 'who' of preaching. Emerging from his considerable experience as an academic, missionary and preacher, Al Tizon addresses preaching at its core, it's missional core." —Rob Fairbanks, D.Min., President - Christian Associates International
"A quite helpful contribution to the contemporary Christian conversation about the nature of Christian preaching and the church as missional. In a writing style that is engaging and compelling, Tizon clarifies what is meant by 'missional church' and brings together an impressive team of contributors to offer examples of sermons addressing multiple dimensions of the theme. The broadest accomplishment of the book may be its expression of a quite appealing Christian vision and community. Tizon, who works with Ron Sider at Palmer Seminary and Evangelicals for Social Action, inspires confidence in the long-term vitality and impact of Sider's holistic, global, and transformational type of evangelicalism. Both the book, and that movement, are worth everyone's attention. Strongly recommended." —Dr. David P. Gushee, Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics, Director, Center for Theology and Public Life, Mercer University
"Readers will be challenged to re-evaluate how they communicate the wholeness of pure Bible doctrine for the sake of their hearers, for the sake of the Missio Dei, and for Jesus' sake." —Rev. Paul J Cain, Editor, LHP Quarterly Book Review; Wyoming District Worship Chairman; Pastor, Immanuel Lutheran Church (LCMS); Headmaster, Martin Luther Grammar School (CCLE), Sheridan, WY
"If the conversation about the missional church is going move beyond the confines of the academy and into the life of local congregations, preaching will undoubtedly be one of the major conduits by which this occurs. In this volume Al Tizon provides a lively, holistic, and compelling description of missional preaching coupled with a set of illustrative sermons that admirably demonstrate the principles he articulates. It is a welcome addition to the literature on the missional church, but more than that, this is a book that can assist in bringing about the sort of transformation that the missional conversation has always envisioned." —John R. Franke, Theologian in Residence, First Presbyterian Church of Allentown, PA and General Coordinator of The Gospel and Our Culture Network
"A gem in our time, this book addresses the real issues of how the church is to relate to the world as it engages in its missional task. Deeply theological and biblical yet very accessible, the book grounds the church's mission in her sense of being and purpose in Christ, and not merely in her doing...Each sermon in the book inspires and gives us a different vision of mission that helps expand and refresh our understandings while providing excellent models and styles of preaching for our own growth as preachers." —Elizabeth Conde-Frazier, dean of Esperanza College at Eastern University in St. David's, Pennsylvania; author of Listen to the Children: Conversations with Immigrant Families
"Tizon makes it abundantly clear that mission is the interpretive framework from which all of Scripture derives its meaning. Without mission there is no church. Ultimately, the author is driving us back to New Testament preaching. This is a timely book addressing one of the most important issues of our time." —Bill Easum, President, 21st Century Strategies, Inc.
"Here is a rich resource for pastors, preachers, and leaders seeking to enjoin a mission-based Christian focus with meaningful preaching." —Congregational Resource Guide
"A power-house of a book...It offers reliable reminders and fresh teaching about how to maintain high standards in preaching and teaching, especially preaching and teaching this holistic, incarnational, radical Kingdom vision stuff. Prophetic...pastoral...gospel-centered." —Hearts and Minds Books, March 26, 2012
"Missional Preaching is a fine practical introductory work on linking missional principles to preaching, something desperately necessary if we are to carry out the Missio Dei."—Englewood Review of Books, March 28, 2012
"Tizon writes with lively prose, frequently deploying humor and hyperbole to complement biblical exposition and theological reflection... Rarely does one find a volume that combines a theological treatment of preaching and well-executed sermons, intimating possible ways of—and compelling reasons for—constructing a missional sermon." —Sojourners, June 2012
"This book will challenge the preacher to live the message. It will push the boundaries of many." —Jonathan Dodson, Creation Project blog, May 21, 2012
"If you are someone who cares deeply for the missional conversation and Biblical preaching and have pondered at the interplay between the two, you cannot do better than Tizon's work." —Maestas Matters, May 22, 2012
"I can just about guarantee you won't like everything in this book. I think that's a good thing, and I recommend the book. It will make you think, and examine your preaching for its relevance to the world we live in." —Margaret Marcuson, ChurchCentral.com, May 31, 2012
"Tizon has succeeded, by providing a work that is simultaneously educational, engaging and practical. If you are looking for a work that will help you begin or continue to think about how to shape your people in missional thinking and practice, through the work of preaching, do yourself a favor and pick this up!' —Matt Maestas for MissionalChurchNetwork.com, June 11, 2012\
"A welcome contribution from the pen of a seasoned missionary and veteran professor. Even if the reader may differ at times with Tizon's conclusions, his relevant and compelling discussions offer real help to preachers who want to biblically and credibly address the actual issues of our changing cultures in a Christ-centered way." —Zack Eswine, International Bulletin of Missionary Research, July 2012
"Highly recommended for all church leaders attempting both to understand and to embody God's mission within the life and practice of their congregations. Tizon's exploration of missional preaching both expands and refreshes the vision of missional church. Those who practice missional preaching will be challenged by this book to discern the movement of the Holy Spirit within their particular congregation as they seek to live out God's missional call within their particular context in creative and faithful ways." —Inagrace T. Dietterich, Director of Theological Research, Center for Parish Development
2013 Outreach Resource of the Year award in the Preaching category from Outreach magazine.

TEN-MAN Stoke City were frozen out by a James McLean solo effort as Sunderland continued their dramatic resurgence at snow-hit Britannia Stadium.
Young winger McLean fired home the only goal of a game ruined by the appalling conditions after City had seen Robert Huth sent off in the first half.
Huth was shown a red card for a lunge at David Meyler shortly before the interval and the Potters were always up against it from that point onwards.
Referee Martin Atkinson was the man who made the decision to give the German defender his marching orders, the second time in a match against Sunderland that he caused controversy with a decision after failing to spot Lee Cattermole's handling offence on the line at the Stadium of Light in last season's game in the North East.
Atkinson didn't appear to make any allowance for the snow covered pitch after Huth seemed to slide on his backside and hardly made any contact with David Meyler, but the referee reached immediately for his red card.
Although City battled hard with ten men, they were undone by a moment of brilliance from McLean as he burst into the box to fire past Thomas Sorensen.
It was one of the rare moments in the game when either side created a goalscoring opportunity as the snow got progressively worse.
With Etherington failing to recover from the virus which had laid him low for the past few days, Pulis opted to make two changes to side beaten at Old Trafford with Delap and Jerome brought into the starting place for Palacios and Jones.
It was clear right from the outset that the conditions were going to make it extremely difficult for both sides as the snow got heavier.
It was fully thirteen minutes into the match before there was even the scent of a chance as City forced a corner which came to nothing as attempts to play it short resulted in Whelan's cross being charged down by a Sunderland defender.
Passes were going astray as the players struggled to come to terms with the conditions and it seemed that only a mistake would lead to an opening, which was the case when Sunderland threatened for the first time.
Sessegnon was the player to benefit from a slip by Delap and when he slipped the ball to Gardner, the midfielder's shot was blocked.
Whelan was the next City player to find himself in difficulty and Sessegnon was there to pounce again before he shot flashed wide.
The Potters had struggled to make much headway up until this point, but Wilson found space on the overlap to whip over a cross from the left and Mignolet was forced to punch the ball away under pressure from the incoming Jerome.
There was a delay after that attack as Jerome received treatment for a knock and he eventually had to limp off to be replaced by Fuller.
The first shot at goal of any note came with five minutes to go in the first half when Walters cut in from the left and tried his luck from long range, but although it gathered pace off the snow covered surface, Mignolet got down to save.
City suffered a big setback, however, just before the break when Huth, who had over-run the ball, slid in to challenge Meyler and was immediately shown a red card by referee Atkinson must have deemed to be a two-footed challenge.
Consequently, Pulis had to make an immediate change when Woodgate was brought on the plug the defensive gap at the expense of Pennant.
The half-time interval saw groundstaff working hard to clear the pitch, but as the second half began, the snow was getting heavier.
The Potters made a promising start to the second half and pushed Sunderland back as they looked to try and overcome the fact they were a man down.
For all their endeavours, Mignolet's only moment of danger came when he had to come off his line to claim a corner under pressure from Crouch.
Although City had adjusted well to the fact that they were down to ten men at the start of the second half, it was Sunderland who took the lead on the hour mark when McLean burst into the box past two defenders and buried a low shot past Sorensen.
The Potters needed a swift response in the circumstances and it came three minutes later when Fuller held the ball up well inside the box and eventually laid off a pass to Delap whose fierce drive flashed inches over the bar.
It was getting harder to see the ball against the white backdrop and there was a good covering of snow down the West Stand side.
The crowd did their best to try and lift the side, but although they had plenty of possession, they found it difficult to create any clearcut chances.
City kept pressing, however, and there was a glimmer of hope when the ball was swung out to Fuller on the left. The Jamaican cut inside onto his right foot and curled a low shot towards the far corner which Mignolet smothered diving to his left.
There was some encouragement when the Potters forced a throw-in and a corner in quick succession, but Wilson headed Whelan's cross wide.
The officials added on only three minutes at the end, but City couldn't muster another chance as Sunderland hung on to claim all three points.

Microsoft's big, dramatic unveiling of its very own tablet devices on Monday sparked the usual -- and historically appropriate -- skepticism from many tech observers.
But the cynicism wasn't universal. Wall Street, for starters, pushed up shares of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) more than 4.2% to 31.11 in early Tuesday trading.
But it was the gushing reaction to Redmond's Surface tablets from many quarters of cyberspace that seemed odd and premature. A sampling:
"The Surface tablet's integrated kickstand is sheer brilliance..."
"Microsoft's 'Surface' Tablet should be a game changer!!"
And here's the most over-the-top reaction, this from a self-described Apple fanboy:
"Microsoft knocked one out of the park yesterday. Completely. Hit. A. Home. Run."
Don't get me wrong. Technology lovers are entitled to be excited about products that aren't designed in Cupertino, and -- with the exception of Redmond shills seeding Twitter and various comments threats on tech websites and blogs -- I don't doubt their reaction is genuine.
But isn't it a tad early to be proclaiming Microsoft's comeback, or the game-changingness of the Surface tablets? Keep in mind the following:
* No one outside of Microsoft has used a Surface tablet yet.
* We don't know what the pricing for the two different Surface tablets will be.
* We don't know when they'll be available.
* Microsoft's history in the tablet market is dismal.
* A few exceptions aside, Microsoft always has been a software company, but will be making the hardware for the Surface tablets. How will that go?
* Apple is way ahead of Microsoft in the tablet market and can reasonably be expected to respond (assuming it perceives a threat here).
The bottom line is, for all of Surface's "amazing" looks and "brilliant" physical features, nobody knows how the damned thing runs. And if it flops in the marketplace, nobody will care.
So until further notice, let's all calm down.

Anxious timberworkers rally in Tasmania
Page Tools
Hundreds of anxious Tasmanian timber workers are gathering in Launceston ahead of Prime Minister John Howard's much anticipated forest policy launch.
Mr Howard is expected to arrive in the northern city within hours to release his policy after Mr Latham launched Labor's plan in Hobart on how Labor would save the island state's old-growth forests.
Timber Communities Australia state coordinator Barry Chipman said the workers had come to the City Park from all over the state.
"I suppose this is make-or-break day for communities that rely on our forest industries," Mr Chipman said.
"We have to see what the Prime Minister is going to do for us, whether he's going to maintain his commitment to the Regional Forest Agreement or follow what Mr Latham is doing.
"There's a great deal of anxiety, there's frustration and there's confusion because people thought that their livelihoods and futures were secured by the RFA."
The prime minister is expected to announce a plan which could lock away 50,000 hectares of old growth forest and have a smaller impact on the logging industry than Mr Latham's policy.

Lemon-Tarragon Chicken Salad
READY IN: 42mins
Recipe by Bev I Am
This delicious recipe comes from Southern Living, June 2007.
Top Review by Kellie in SLO
This was so easy to put together. The toasted pecans and the grapes added a nice crunchiness and sweetness to the salad. I had it for dinner one evening, then the next day took it to work stuffed in a pita. I think it was better the next day after all the flavors had time to blend. I will be making this again.
