* Nikkei eases 0.5 pct, Topix down 0.3 pct * Softbank rises after announcing tender offer on Gungho By Dominic Lau TOKYO, March 26 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average slipped on Tuesday after a senior euro zone official said the Cyprus rescue could be a new template to deal with other banking problems in the region. Gains in index heavyweight Softbank Corp, after its mobile unit said it will launch a tender offer to make game developer Gungho Online Entertainment Inc a consolidated subsidiary, helped limit the loss. The Nikkei dropped 0.5 percent to 12,488.39, after rebounding 1.7 percent on Monday on the back of Cyprus agreeing a deal with international lenders to avert a collapse of its financial system. "We have seen some pretty good flows. We do have a bit of profit taking in some blue chips. I guess we are 50-50 (in buy and sell orders)," a senior dealer at a foreign bank in Tokyo said. However, he said some of the selling was coming from long-only investors. Among the blue chip companies that succumbed to profit taking included Toyota Motor Corp, Honda Motor Co and construction equipment maker Komatsu Ltd, down between 0.5 and 1.1 percent. The Cyprus deal is forcing large uninsured depositors and bondholders to bear heavy losses, and Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who heads the Eurogroup of euro zone finance ministers, said the Cyprus bailout represented a new model for resolving banking crises in the currency bloc. SOFTBANK OUTPERFORMS Mobile operator Softbank climbed 2.2 percent and was the most traded stock on the main board by turnover after its Softbank Mobile Corp said it would raise its stake in Gungho to 40 percent from 33.6 percent in a tender offer from April 1 to 26. Gungho sank 5.8 percent. Nomura Securities reiterated its 'buy' rating on Softbank, saying "for fiscal year 2013/14, when Softbank will move to IFRS, Softbank's existing 33.63 percent stake in Gungho will be valued at its March 29 closing price, and any valuation gains will be posted to operating profits based on IFRS accounting rules." The broader Topix index eased 0.3 percent to 1,044.02. The benchmark Nikkei has rallied 44 percent since mid-November, when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe unveiled proposals during his election bid for expansionary fiscal and monetary policies to revive the economy. "At the end of May 2012, over 20 percent of Japanese stocks qualified as Deep Value. That number has since dropped to just 5 percent, making Japan the second-most expensive region on this basis behind the U.S.," Societe Generale wrote in a note. "Japan is now going to have to demonstrate improving fundamentals to warrant further upside." Japanese equities carry a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 14.1, a level not seen since August 2010 and compared with U.S. S&P 500's 13.6, data from Thomson Reuters Datastream showed.

To this World she returned.
But with a tinge of that --
A Compound manner,

Espoused a Violet,
That chiefer to the Skies
Than to himself, allied,
Dwelt hesitating, half of Dust,
And half of Day, the Bride.

Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve (375ML half-bottle)
Non-Vintage Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France
Winemaker's Notes
Fine bubbles which rise slowly, persistent mousse. Straw-colored. A nose of ripe pear with some touches of cut hay. Full fruit, but clean in the mouth. This cuvée contains 40% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. All wines from the best sites in the department of the Marne, from more than twenty top vineyards in Champagne. The overall composition of this cuvée has not changed much for almost fifty years. Fresh and long tasting, the Brut Réserve may be drunk on all occasions.
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling - "This has impressive ripe stone fruits on the nose with peaches, mangoes, melon and cherries. Really upbeat and attractive purity. The palate follows the same thread of fruit characters with a clever balance of flesh and crunch, a bright finish and good balance. Drink now. A blend of roughly equal thirds of pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier."
Wine Spectator - "This bright Champagne is sleek and mouthwatering, with tightly knit flavors of glazed apricot, biscuit, nectarine and verbena. Clean-cut and lacy on the finish."
Wine & Spirits - "This blend includes 40 percent pinot meunier, the balance equal parts pinot noir and chardonnay. Its remarkable fruitiness might be tied to the firm's long, slow, cool fermentations, which, they believe, allow meunier to maintain its perfume. This is a graceful, vinous Champagne with dramatic high notes of roses and red fruit, finishing clean with a grounding of pale earthiness. It's a lovely prediction of what Champagne might become in a warming climate."
Wilfred Wong of Wine.com - "A most satisfying brut, the non-vintage Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve does a great job in coating the palate with the sense of refreshment; plenty rich on the palate, with apple and other core fruits; dry in the finish. This looks like a superior main entree wine."
Wine Enthusiast - "In the crisp, balanced style of the producer, this nonvintage Champagne is light, poised and elegant. It is satisfyingly mature with good acidity and minerality. Lively and perfumed, it is ready to drink. Editors' Choice."
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Light, bright gold. Fresh red berries, orange zest and white flowers on the perfumed nose. Juicy and precise, offering energetic redcurrant and blood orange flavors that show good concentration and a supple texture. A mineral nuance adds bite to the finish, with the floral note echoing."

Billecart-Salmon Winery
The Billecart family has been living in Mareuil-sur-Ay since the 16th century. When Nicolas Francois Billecart married Elisabeth Salmon in the early 1800s the two families' long held vineyards were married as well. This led to Nicolas' decision to leave his law practice and take over the family wine estate. In 1818 he founded the house of Billecart-Salmon which now stands as the oldest continuously family owned and operated house in Champagne. It is currently managed by the seventh generation, brothers Francois and Antoine Roland-Billecart. The cellars are in the hands of renowned "chef de cave" Francois Domi.
Billecart-Salmon owns a total of 15 hectares of vineyards. Eleven of these are in the Vallee de la Marne split between 4ha of Grand Cru in Ay and Premier Cru in Mareuil-sur-Ay and 7ha in the village of Damery. In the Cote des Blancs the family owns 4ha of Grand Cru vineyards in the villages of Chouilly, Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. With respect to harvest one of the most distinctive aspects of Billecart-Salmon is their philosophy that an early harvest yields more elegant and delicate champagnes. They look for a strong acid structure rather than alcohol as a preservative and therefore, never harvest at higher than 10 degrees of potential alcohol.
Another defining characteristic of Billecart-Salmon is their practice of double cold settling which they began in 1952. This involves a primary cold settling of the pressed juice for a period of 12 hours whereby the heaviest of the must solids fall to the bottom. The juice is then racked into clean tanks where it is chilled down to 2C for another 48 hours. This second and much colder settling eliminates any wild yeasts and additional heavy elements without the use of enzymes, filtering or a centrifuge. After the second racking, fermentation is initiated by adding dried yeasts and maintained at a long slow pace for up to 5 weeks in order to preserve as many delicate fruit aromas as possible. One varietal that benefits greatly from this is Pinot Meunier which the Billecarts believe is a vital component in world class champagnes. Many producers shy away from Meunier because it is easy to burn off its delicate aromas during fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is allowed to occur but may be blocked in certain years if the vintage conditions warrant it. Since 1987 the family has been making a certain percentage of the wines for their vintage cuvee champagnes in barrel. In these instances malolactic fermentation is always blocked.
As of 2001, Billecart-Salmon moved their winemaking into a brand new facility that they believe to be the most technically advanced in Champagne. The intricate and precise nature of Francois Domi's winemaking demanded that the family use every available resource to create the perfect environment for the production of these truly stellar champagnes. The ability to perform as many as 75 micro-fermentations simultaneously allows M. Domi the luxury of keeping many of his parcels separate until the blending phase. Overall, production levels are modest and many of Billecart-Salmon's prestige cuvees are highly allocated. Speak to your salesperson directly for availability. View all Billecart-Salmon Wines
About ChampagneView a map of Champagne wineries Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne produced is non-vintage and made up by a blend of several years' harvests.
All Champagnes must be made by a strictly controlled process called "Méthode Champenoise." The grapes are pressed and fermented for the first time. The blending phase follows and the wine is bottled and temporarily capped. Then comes the second fermentation, a blend of sugar and yeast is added and, this time, the carbon dioxide is kept inside the bottle. This process leaves a great deal of sediment that is extracted through a process of "racking" or "riddling." The bottles are progressively turned upside down until all the sediment is collected in the neck. The necks are then frozen and the sediment is "disgorged." After this phase, the winemaker may decide to add sugar to sweeten the wine. Finally the wine is corked. Some wines move through this process in a couple of months, while others are aged after the riddling phase to build greater complexity and depth.
Champagnes range from dry, "Brut," to slightly sweet, "Demi-Sec." Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are used in Champagne blends, but "Blancs de Noirs" is made entirely of Pinot Noir and "Blancs de Blanc" is made from only Chardonnay grapes. The high acidity achieved by the northern location is crucial to the balance and structure of these wines.
Not every year is a "vintage" declared. In years when it is not, the wines are blended with the produce from other years to create the non-vintage blend, the house style that remains constant from year to year. But in a great vintage year, champagne houses will bottle by itself the unblended year's produce, and use other portions as "reserve" wines to supplement and enrich the non-vintage blend. A vintage champagne can age quite gracefully, and gain complexity just like any other great still wine.
Mild cheeses like gruyere and shellfish pair nicely with Champagne. Also, oysters and Champagne is a popular combination. A full-flavored vintage Champagne can go with almost any meal.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Business Law
What is Business Law?
Business law deals with the creation of new businesses and the issues that arise as existing businesses interact with the public, other companies, and the government. This area of the law draws on a variety of legal disciplines, including tax law, intellectual property, real estate, sales, employment law, bankruptcy, and others. Business law attorneys specialize in transactional work, meaning they do not represent clients in court. In fact, business lawyers are often hired for the purpose of avoiding future litigation.
To understand the role of business law within the legal system, it helps to view businesses as entities separate from their owners and employees. Just like individuals living together in society, business entities are subject to legal rules designed to give every participant in the marketplace a fair opportunity to succeed.
An enforceable system of business laws also benefits the economy as a whole and provides for more efficient transactions. For example, a supplier who sells goods on credit can be confident that the buyer will held to the agreed payment terms. As long as the contract is drafted and executed in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) adopted in that jurisdiction, the supplier knows ahead of time it will be able to enforce the contract against the buyer if necessary.
Business Formation and Internal Agreements
New companies must take steps to comply with the law even before opening their doors for the first time. Business law attorneys are routinely asked to form new entities on behalf of their clients by filing the necessary documents with the Secretary of State. Clients may also need assistance choosing the business entity best suited for their enterprise.
Businesses can be formed as corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and other entities. Most of these business forms can be further customized to meet the needs of the company. Examples include corporations formed as "S-corps" in order to achieve tax savings, and partnerships formed as "limited partnerships" to allow some owners to participate as investors only.
While the selection of the appropriate business entity will depend on numerous factors, the primary purpose of most entities is to shield owners from individual liability. Operating a business that is not set up to provide limited liability means that the owners are putting all of their personal assets within reach of the business's creditors. By working with an attorney at the inception of the business, this situation can easily be avoided.
Business law attorneys are also available to draft the internal agreements that will control how a new company is managed. A common example is an LLC operating agreement. This document should be drafted with care, as it governs how the company's owners will share profits and losses, make important business decisions, and transfer their ownership rights.
Navigating Complex Transactions
Some commercial transactions are within the ability of business owners to handle on their own. Others are not, especially when a deal touches on complicated and evolving areas of the law, such as securities regulation or internet commerce. In heavily-regulated industries in particular, companies rely on their in-house or hired lawyers for advice regarding the latest legal developments affecting their businesses.
Even for savvy business people, problems can develop when emotions become involved. Attorneys can provide valuable insight into a transaction, not only because of their legal training, but also because of the objective nature of their analysis. This allows them to spot issues overlooked by business owners and managers who may be too emotionally invested in seeing the deal go through.
Preemptive Measures to Avoid Litigation
One way to distinguish business law as its own field of practice is to take note of when these issues arise. Business law provides rules and guidance for companies to follow before disputes occur. Attorneys who practice in this area are experts at structuring transactions to minimize the company's exposure to litigation. This sort of strategic legal maneuvering can end up saving the company huge amounts of money.
Consider the example of a services company headquartered in one state, with customers all across the nation. The company might hire a lawyer to draft customer agreements that require customers to follow specific dispute procedures, such as giving the company an opportunity to remedy deficient services before a legal claim is made, or providing that disputes must be submitted to arbitration in the company's home state. In every industry, there are opportunities for business attorneys to save their clients money and provide them with a greater competitive advantage.
Hiring Legal Counsel
If you operate an existing business or plan to launch a new one, your success may depend on obtaining the right legal advice. Attorneys are available to assist with everything from simple buy/sell agreements to mergers and acquisitions of publicly-traded companies. Schedule a consultation with a business law firm today.

- What is the Statute of Frauds?
When dealing with a contract dispute, particularly in the case of an oral contract, one may hear the term "statute of frauds" used.

- When a Business Folds, Who Is Responsible for Its Debts and Other Obligations?
A common question among small business owners is who will be responsible for debts and other obligations if a business entity folds or reorganizes. Many things can happen in the life of a business entity, whether a corporation, LLC, partnership, or sole proprietorship, and this can lead to questions about who will be left holding the bag.

- Buyers: Make Sure You're Getting What You Bargained ForBusinesses often buy equipment, supplies, and other materials on a contract basis. The contract itself often is not standard, but instead, is written up to reflect the results of prior negotiations. If that contract is truly written up properly, all should go well.
- Chief Financial Officers Can Be Held LiableCFO and corporate accountants must be aware that the improprieties of their superiors could lead to their own personal liabilities.

Depending on the rules of the state, a finding of unenforceability can result in different consequences.
- Steps an Employer Can Take when an Employee Violates a Non-Compete AgreementIn order to protect certain business interests, some employers may choose to have employees sign a non-compete agreement. This agreement can prohibit certain conduct, such as working for a competitor for a specified period of time.

Roast Salmon with Couscous Crust
Marcia Kiesel used to crust salmon with bread crumbs, but she created this clever alternative as a way to use up leftover cooked couscous. She now prefers the couscous because it holds its shape and delivers a much more satisfying crunch.
Slideshow: Amazing Seafood Recipes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup instant couscous
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 slices lean bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 6 oil-packed black olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Four 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets, skinned
- 1 large leek, white and tender green parts only, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
- 1/2 cup fruity Pinot Noir
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 stick (4 ounces) well chilled unsalted butter, sliced into tablespoons
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 500°. In a small heatproof bowl, pour the boiling water over the couscous. Cover with a plate and let stand until the water has been completely absorbed, about 20 minutes.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the diced bacon and cook over moderate heat until it is lightly crisp, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant. Remove the bacon from the heat and stir in the olives, parsley and couscous. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Put the salmon fillets on a lightly oiled baking sheet, skinned side down and season with salt and pepper. Carefully mound the couscous on the fillets, pressing lightly to help it adhere. Bake the salmon in the upper third of the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the topping is crisp and the salmon is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the leek, cover and cook over moderately low heat until softened, about 6 minutes. Scrape the leek onto a plate. Add the Pinot Noir, vinegar and shallot to the saucepan and boil over moderately high heat until the liquid has reduced to 2 1/2 tablespoons, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time; return the pan to the heat only as necessary to keep the sauce warm. Do not let the sauce boil. Stir the leeks into the sauce and cook just until heated through. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Serve at once with the salmon.
Suggested Pairing
Elegant, structured Pinot Noir from Sonoma.

A high-end Chinese electronics company called Oppo has announced a super-deluxe, $500 5-inch Android phone called the Find 5, with some amazing specs:
As the name suggests, the Find 5 has a 5-inch display with a 1080p display, something we saw on the impressive HTC Droid DNA. Inside of the Find 5′s sharply designed chassis, you'll find Qualcomm's speedy quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM, 16 gigs of storage and an NFC chip. Yes, the Droid DNA has the same internals. But Oppo one-ups that handset by giving the Find 5 a 13-megapixel rear shooter. There's a 1.9-megapixel camera up front.
The phone uses Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system and, like Google's Nexus 4, will run on HSPA+ and GSM networks but not LTE.

A lot of folks linked to John Updike's "Hub Fan Bids Kid Adieu" essay this week, myself included. Today HuffPo's David Margolick analyzes it. That's interesting enough and worth your click, but this passage is the best:
Nowadays, when nostalgia is big business and every sports milestone is hyped, such an event would be covered exhaustively and bathetically. And if that milestone concerned baseball, the game of choice for intellectuals slumming as regular Joes, the press box would be filled with PhDs on day passes, producing an orgy of grandiloquence.
Ain't that the truth. The Neyers, Laws, Pintos, Dierkeses, and Marchmans of the world are always good enough for the day-in-day out, but it always seems like big media feels it necessary to call in some non-baseball scholar or intellectual to wax pretentious whenever something really big happens.
I guess that's harmless enough, but I can't help but wonder how much the world of science, arts, and letters would appreciate it if all of the baseball writers got together and published a book on Shakespeare or Keynesian economics or something.

Moscow (CNSNews.com) - A pro-Western candidate has a narrow lead after the final count in the first round of Ukraine's presidential election. But the race is being contested by two front runners with significantly different world views.
Opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko won 39.87 percent of the vote against 39.32 percent for pro-Russian candidate Viktor Yanukovich, the current prime minister, according to official results announced Wednesday for the Oct. 31 ballot. No other candidate won more than six percent.
With neither contender enjoying a simple majority of votes, the two now face a run-off on Nov. 21.
The final count came as a surprise because with most ballot papers counted last week, Yanukovich was ahead.
Despite the small size of Yushchenko's lead, the turnaround gives him an important morale boost, which analysts believe could influence swing voters in the run-off.
Despite opposition criticism, Russia made little effort to hide its support for Yanukovich, a favorite of both the Kremlin and Ukraine's outgoing president, Leonid Kuchma.
Earlier this week, Moscow agreed to allow Ukrainian citizens to travel freely inside Russia for 90 days, a move that will please Ukrainians who visit the neighboring country in search of better-paying jobs.
Lifting of the restrictions is regarded as yet another attempt by Moscow to boost Yanukovich's campaign.
The election illustrated deep divisions between the Russian-speaking, industrialized east and the nationalist, pro-Western west.
Residents of eastern Ukraine, who suffered most from the Soviet Union's collapse, tend to support greater integration with Russia and supported Yanukovich in large numbers
Yanukovich has pledged that, as president, he would make Russian the second official
language. He also suggested shelving the country's plans to join both the European Union and NATO.
Yushchenko, by contrast, wants to boost Ukraine's ties with the EU and NATO, and was overwhelmingly supported by voters in western Ukraine.
But although Yushchenko is perceived as a pro-U.S. candidate he, like his opponent, has indicated that he would withdraw Ukraine's troops from the coalition in Iraq.
The campaign was marred by allegations of "dirty tricks," including claims by Yushchenko supporters that the candidate was poisoned. The authorities said no evidence of this had been found.
Poll observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said the election failed to meet international standards.

Taylors Ward
Number of bedrooms per dwelling
Dwellings with 3 bedrooms were the most common in Taylors Ward in 2011.
The Number of Bedrooms in a dwelling is an indicator of the size of dwellings, and when combined with Dwelling Type information, provides insight into the role Taylors Ward plays in the housing market. For example, an area of high density dwellings that are predominantly 1-2 bedroom are likely to attract students, single workers and young couples, whereas a high density area with dwellings that are predominantly 2-3 bedroom may attract more empty nesters and some families.
In combination with Household Type and Household Size, the Number of Bedrooms can also indicate issues around housing affordability, overcrowding and other socio-economic factors.
Derived from the Census question:
'How many bedrooms are there in this dwelling?'
Occupied private dwellings

Tokyo (AFP) Feb 8, 2013
The foreign ministry in Tokyo on Friday proposed a meeting with Chinese officials about the choking smog over Beijing that is now being seen in Japan.
The ministry told China "the Japanese government is concerned and is closely monitoring the recent serious air pollution in China" as it may affect Japan's environment as well as Japanese nationals in the country, a statement said.
Tokyo proposed that the countries hold talks as soon as the Chinese New Year holiday season ends this month, to discuss how the two parties can cooperate over the problem.
The suffocating smog that has blanketed swathes of China is hitting parts of Japan, sparking warnings of health risks for the young and the sick.
Relations between Tokyo and Beijing are already strained over the sovereignty of a chain of islands in the East China Sea.
That dispute intensified further this week after Japan alleged a Chinese warship's radar system had locked onto a Japanese destroyer.
Beijing on Friday accused Tokyo of hyping the "China threat".
While the island spat has hit a number of Japanese businesses amid an informal boycott of Japanese brand goods, the elevated pollution levels in China have been good for Japan's air purifier makers.
Sharp, Daikin and Panasonic all said sales in China for January were up two or three times on the same month last year.

Although SAN snapshots are pretty awesome, they become substantially more difficult to use in virtualized environments. This is mostly due to the fact that the SAN creates these snapshots on a per-volume level. In the database example, that might be a couple of different volumes (say, a log and data volume). However, in a virtualized environment, one very large volume could hold the disks for 20 or 30 servers -- so it's impossible to simply roll back the disk state for a single VM from the SAN.
Of course, restoring an entire VM from a snapshot could be done. In the VMware world, you'd present the point-in-time snapshot you want back to the vSphere host, mount it, find the target VM's files in the snapshot, add that VM into inventory, migrate it back onto its original volume, and fire it up. If you've licensed the Storage vMotion feature, you can even start the VM from the snapshot copy, then live-migrate the VM back onto the volume where it's supposed to live, providing for a speedy time-to-restore. If you're after a single file, you might end up with a roughly similar plan, except you'd track down the virtual disk file that has the data you want, mount it on the original VM, then pull the data out.
Veeam's Explorer for Snapshots feature promises to do all that work for you in far less time than you could do it manually -- all while using the same wizard-driven interface you may already be used to. In addition, you could use the same application and file-level restore capabilities for normal Veeam backups, including restoring individual files and individual Microsoft Exchange mail items. Given that it's included in all versions of Veeam Backup and Replication 6.5, there's no extra cost.
Filling a hole in HP's portfolio
It's interesting that HP chose to work with Veeam to develop this feature. (HP is promoting it heavily with the rebrand of HP's P4000 VSA into the StoreVirtual VSA.) Perhaps HP wants to take advantage of Veeam's high growth and reach its more than 43,000 customers, all of whom HP would love to sell server and storage gear to.
However, it may also be driven by a gap in HP's capability set: HP is one of the few major storage providers without a strong backup software offering for virtualization. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen HP Data Protector deployed in the field, usually only in legacy HP-UX shops.
If that's true, I wonder if Veeam will be able to attract other storage vendors. The great wave of consolidation has seen most of the popular storage startups gobbled up by the larger providers, so there are only a few major storage vendors that don't already have a horse in the backup software race. EMC markets Networker and Avamar; at the same time, Dell has had strong ties to both Commvault and Symantec, owns Appassure, and recently purchased Quest Software -- the maker of vRanger, Veeam's primary competitor in the virtualization backup space.

Task complexity and visual acuity in senile macular degeneration
Lovie-Kitchin, Jan E. & Bailey, Ian L. (1981) Task complexity and visual acuity in senile macular degeneration. Australian Journal of Optometry, 64(6), pp. 235-242.
The effects of choice of test object and inter-symbol spacing (contour interaction) on the measurement of low visual acuities was investigated. Visual acuities of sixteen subjects with senile macular degeneration and five age-matched normal subjects were measured using different test targets of varying complexities. Visual acuity of both groups of subjects decreased with increasing task complexity but the trend was more marked for the low vision subjects. However, within the low vision group, the complexity effect was not dependent on the level of visual acuity. This study showed that visual acuity of persons with senile macular degeneration can be measured equally well with single letters, constant contour interaction Landolt rings, or the Bailey-Lovie letter chart but the test used should be specified. Grating targets and word charts measure different visual functions from standard visual acuity tests.

Although production ceased in 2005, Rover had a long and eventful history while it was alive, which included its beginnings as a bicycle company; producing some of the most popular and ground-breaking early cars; and creating the now incredibly successful Land Rover. Today there remains a healthy used market for Rovers, but they are fast becoming increasingly rare. All used Rover on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
During Rover's productive years, one of their leading models was the 75, a saloon which managed to be refined, practical and powerful. While much of the Rover range now risks appearing aged and dated, the 75 retains an element of style to it; largely due to it being one of the last models in production. Smaller than the 75 is the 25, an updated version of the 200, and a compact yet spacious hatchback. Now only available on the used market, Rovers might be a diminishing sight on UK roads, but remain a solid and mature British car.

Watch: Tunde From TVOTR and the Roots Perform 'Backdoor Santa'
Okayplayer knows how to throw one hell of a holiday party. For their annual shindig, Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio joined the Roots onstage for a strange cover of an even stranger song, Clarence Carter's "Backdoor Santa." You know, that one. Via Okayplayer:
His look–zebra-striped Santa hat, Larry Graham wig, Bootsy Glasses and dookie gold chain (the beard is all his, though)–is pretty amazing, too, though. Is it just me or does this outfit make him look a lot like 2Chainz?
As one commenter suggested, Tunde seems to be giving off a strong Mac Dre vibe.
