Whether you're invited to a destination wedding in the sand or an extravagant nuptial affair, we have some stylish tips on what to wear to summer weddings at a variety of venues.
Vineyard Wedding
For a vineyard wedding, consider an ensemble in a stylish hue that would work for both indoors and outdoors. You might also want to keep a light shawl or wrap if it gets chilly later into the evening. Classic neutral accessories and simple jewelry will compliment a brighter or more embellished dress nicely.

Beach Wedding
For a summer beach wedding, try a light, chic sundress for daytime, or go with a long, flowy dress in a soft print for an evening reception. Choose something elegant without looking too formal for the venue. Delicate and understated jewelry and accessories are all you need to complete the relaxed, but stylish look.
JS Collections Print Chiffon Gown, J. Crew Crystal angel earrings, Santi Clutch
Garden Wedding
For an outdoor garden wedding, try a dress that is fresh and summery, or a floral print that is elegant but not over the top, so you stay cool and comfortable. Light or bright colors will work in the sunny venue, and accessories can be playful but chic.
DVF Gussie Dress, Evelyn Knight Crystal Bubble Cuff, Santi Clutch
Black-Tie Wedding
For a glamorous, evening black tie wedding, opt for a gown that is formal and sophisticated, accessorized with a dramatic statement jewelry piece.

A top adviser to the "super PAC" supporting Newt Gingrich today defended the group's movie attacking GOP front-runner Mitt Romney for his work at Bain Capital.
Rick Tyler, a former Gingrich spokesman who is now a senior adviser to Winning Our Future, said on Fox News Sunday that the group "absolutely" will keep airing its film, King of Bain: When Mitt Romney Came to Town, in South Carolina.
"We stand by the film," Tyler said.
The Washington Post gave the movie four Pinocchios in its fact-checking story, saying it contains inaccuracies and overstatements. Gingrich has called on Winning Our Future to remove inaccuracies in the film or pull it down from the Internet.
Former Indiana congressman Chris Chocola, head of the conservative Club for Growth, said the pro-Gingrich super PAC is attacking free market capitalism in a manner that would be expected of President Obama and Michael Moore, the documentary filmmaker.
"They take a few facts, snippets of information that they distort," said Chocola, also appearing on Fox News. "They take it out of context and then they reach the conclusion that it's all like this that ... free market capitalism is nothing more than a bunch of rich looting guys."
Tyler suggested the attacks on Romney are fair because the former Massachusetts governor is staking his campaign on his ability to create jobs.
"He is running because he says he's a job creator and he's no a job creator," Tyler said on the Fox program. "He was the guy who's going in and dismantling companies and destroying jobs. But that's part of the capitalist system. I don't have beef with that."
In a letter to Romney, Winning Our Future agreed to review the movie and the ads based on them if the former Massachusetts governor answered questions about his Bain Capital tenure.
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul dismissed the letter as a sign of how "desperate" Gingrich and his allies have become, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Great expectations
In came a flood of stuffed animals, steam-driven combine harvesters, precious stones and gold ornaments from every corner of the globe. The task of arranging for 100,000 exhibits from around the world to arrive in London for the Great Exhibition of 1851 was a mammoth one. The dedicated organisers who pulled it all together did so without the assistance of phones, faxes or the Internet.
The result was a highly successful exhibition, which made a profit of Pounds 186,000 (almost Pounds 10million in today's money) despite the building being completed only one week before the opening day.
Then as now, exhibitions had their critics. The Minister without Portfolio, Peter Mandelson, who is responsible for the Millennium Experience, should take comfort from the fact that sceptics were around before both the 1851 exhibition and the 1951 Festival of Britain.
There were those who thought the 1851 exhibition was a scandalous waste of money - and, in a touch worthy of today's tabloids, The Times warned that it would become, "The bivouac of all the vagabonds of London."
The Times also revealed that the Royal Commission organising the 1851 event was employing four clerks on the comfortable salary of Pounds 800 a year (a pay cheque worth about Pounds 40,000 today) each.
The Millennium Experience - planned for Greenwich in 2000 - will be the third such event to be held in this country. In 1951 the Festival of Britain, though a national occasion, was largely focused on a big site on the South Bank of the Thames. This, in turn, was to some extent inspired by the Great Exhibition of 1851.
The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations was held between May 1 and October 11, 1851 in London's Hyde Park. It was housed in one huge building designed by Joseph Paxton and built from pre-fabricated glass and steel panels. It was 1,848ft (around 563 metres) long (Paxton had aimed for a symbolic 1,851 feet but could not make the design work) and 408ft (roughly 124 metres) wide. The building was nicknamed - in an inspired turn of phrase - "the Crystal Palace" by the satirical magazine Punch.
The building incorporated a group of elm trees that stood in the park, raising the worry that birds living in the trees would damage and mark exhibits and visitors with their droppings. In a famous remark, the Duke of Wellington suggested to Queen Victoria that the organisers should, "Try sparrowhawks, Ma'am!" - a suggestion that seems to have been graciously rejected. Within the building were 100,000 exhibits from 14,000 exhibitors from all over the globe.
Today, organising such an event would generate a forest of fax paper, a storm of e-mail and a non-stop stream of calls from phones mobile and otherwise. How, though, was it done in the age of the silent office, the high desk, the big ledger and the ink-well?
The organisation of this, the first international exhibition of its kind, was a tour de force of enterprise, vision and courage in an age before telephones, and when postal services in many parts of the world were often indifferent to say the least. To start with, it was carried through by the Royal Society of Arts, and then by a Royal Commission under the leadership of Prince Albert, thehusband of Queen Victoria, who took a close personal interest in the project.
The key was a high degree of delegation to local committees and organisations. In the United Kingdom there were 330 committees, charged with contacting local industries to see if, and what, they wanted to exhibit and to get an idea of the space they needed. The Royal Commission collated their requests and discussed with the committees whether or not their requests could be accommodated - perhaps not unexpectedly, the demand exceeded the available space by half.
Within the limits of their space, the committees then selected the exhibits. The commission kept a check on possible duplications and had a mechanism for deciding who would have priority in the event of two committees choosing the same thing.
Foreign and colonial exhibitors were invited to ask for space and to let the commissioners know what they were going to send. Such were the communication difficulties, it was often not known what was coming until it arrived. One organisational masterstroke was to give the building the status of a bonded warehouse, which eliminated worries that customs duties would have to be paid on the imported exhibits.
Most impressive of all was the way that the commissioners dealt calmly with the kind of crises that today's exhibition organisers will recognise: the building was only completed a week before the exhibition opened; some exhibitors misunderstood the dimensions of the space allotted to them (phrases such as "square feet" were not always familiar to the people on the receiving end of the instructions); descriptions of what was coming were often vague and unhelpful. This may have been deliberate - some historians believe that the fear of having their ideas stolen may have discouraged some exhibitors from sending examples of their best, or most up-to-date work. All this turned the task of dividing the exhibition into coherent sections into something of a nightmare.
Exhibitors were given space to do with as they pleased; if they wanted to show moving machinery, for example, they could. Steam power was supplied in lagged pipes for those who wanted it, as was high-pressure water at the rate of 300,000 gallons a day, for which Chelsea Waterworks was paid Pounds 350 a month.
As Charlotte Bront wrote, "Whatever human industry has created you find there, from the great compartments filled with railway engines and boilers, with mill machinery in full work, with splendid carriages of all kinds... to the velvet-spread stands loaded with the most gorgeous work of the goldsmiths and silversmiths and the carefully guarded gaskets full of real diamonds and pearlsI" An official report sums up the enterprise in Victorian prose: "Indeed, it may be said, that whilst almost every exhibitor desired some kind of special arrangement, convenient to himself, but inconvenient to everybody else, almost every one submitted to a curtailment of space, and a constraint on his wishes, with a patience that greatly lightened the labours of the Executive Committee. "
The exhibition turned out to be a credit to its organisers and a lasting symbol of Britain, and the world's, progress in the age of industry and science. More than six million people visited it, one-third of the population of the whole kingdom. Employers gave workers leave to attend with their families. Many came on special excursions - the Great Western Railway ran a train of 151 coaches carrying five thousand people.
This was the start of the notion of a day out in the capital city; the word "sightseer" had been coined only four years earlier, and the first clean and respectable public toilets in London were opened for the exhibition. Queen Victoria visited the Crystal Palace several times and Prince Albert was there almost every day.
Admission prices varied - season tickets were three guineas for a man, two for a woman. Later you could get in for as little as a shilling.
The 1951 Festival of Britain was held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Great Exhibition. Coming so soon after the austerity years of the Second World War, it became a showcase for good design and technology.
Though it was nationwide in scope, the central event of the festival was the South Bank Exhibition, on a site next to the Royal Festival Hall, the only reminder of the event.
At the heart of the festival was the Dome of Discovery, (left) then the biggest dome in the world, and the only one made from aluminium. At 365ft in diameter it was three times the size of the dome of St Paul's and contained sections on the general theme of discovery - in science, exploration, technology and medicine.
Significantly - in view of the debate about the Millennium Dome - visitors to the South Bank seem to remember the buildings (the Unicorn Pavilion, the Dome of Discovery, the Transport and Communications Pavilion) but have forgotten what was in them.
Not much remains of the 1851 exhibition. The Crystal Palace was taken down and re-built near Sydenham in south London at the cost Pounds 200,000. Sadly, it burnt down in 1936. The steps and the area where it stood can still be seen. The name Crystal Palace is still used for the area and its soccer team.
There is a lasting legacy, though, in the form of the group of museums and colleges, including the Victoria Albert Museum, the Royal Albert Hall (below) and the Natural History Museum, all to be found on Exhibition Road in London's South Kensington, south of Hyde Park. At the suggestion of Prince Albert, who had been heavily involved in the whole idea of the Great Exhibition, the profits were used to buy the land on which the museums and colleges now stand.

The cluster of differentiation (CD) system is commonly used as cell markers in immunophynotyping. Different kinds of cells in the immune system can be identified through the surface CD molecules which associating with the immune function of the cell. There are more than 320 CD unique clusters and subclusters have been identified. Some of the CD molecules serve as receptors or ligands important to the cell through initiating a signal cascade which then alter the behavior of the cell. Some CD proteins do not take part in cell signal process but have other functions such as cell adhesion. CD140b, also known as PDGFRB, is a member of the CD system. CD140b is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor essencial for development interacting with the platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) which serves as mitogens for mesenchymal cells. CD140b can bind with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B, that are secreted by tumors and phosphorylation of PDGFR-β was correlated with depth of cancer invasion at statistically significant level.

Re "Folksy broadcaster showcased all that made state 'amazing"' (Jan. 8):
About 12 years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Huell Howser at the College of Oceaneering in Wilmington. He was only going to do a 30-minute program on the college, but he had so much fun that he put the visit on "California's Gold." We fitted him with a commercial diving helmet and he entered our diving tank. He was as excited as a little kid and we had a hard time getting him to come out of the water. He was an absolute joy and was exactly as he appeared on TV.

Do the crime, do the time
When you do something wrong, you get punished. People who take the lives of innocent people, and are caught with the smoking gun or other weapons, should be arrested and sent to death row. Day after day, month after month, dollar after dollar is spent on hearings, trials, etc. When they admit to the crime, send them to death row immediately with no options, just like the people whose lives they took for no reason.

Original meaning of 'militia'?
When the Second Amendment was adopted, how long did it take to load a one-shot musket? Someone once said: Guns are not the problem, it's people with guns. We need to understand what the founding fathers meant by the word "militia." It's a military force that is not part of a regular army and subject to call for service in an emergency.
-- Carlie Harris, Sr., Harbor City
Underfunded public pension
Re "Writer got sidetracked" (Letters, Jan. 3):
Letter writer Jim Spaulding painted a positive picture of CalPERS. We hope they can live up to their financial responsibilities with a pension system that is not financially sustainable. What Mr. Spaulding didn't tell us is that at the local level, taxpayers subsidize these pensions. If Spaulding retired from the city of Long Beach at age 62, with 30 years of service, his pension package would pay out 81 percent of his salary from CalPERS and 20 percent from Social Security. The real outrage is that for the past 12 years, about 70 percent of city of Long Beach employees only pay 2 percent of their salaries towards their pension. Teachers, police officers, firefighters, county and state workers pay 8 percent or more of their salaries. The 2 percent is only about $83 per month for their pensions, where the cost is more than $1,600 per month. Of the approximately $100 million Long Beach sends to CalPERS each year, taxpayers pay over $85 million. The cumulative result of these massive public employee underpayments is a $1 billion unfunded pension liability that will be paid for by our children and grandchildren.
-- Larry Boland, Long Beach

Dissappointed with product
The Cuisinart Single Brew Keurig seems sturdy but does does not do what it claims. First, a travel mug won't fit underneath the brew spout as described. Second, you can brew your own coffee but you'll have grounds in it, and you'll have to clean grounds off the brew head. Third, if you do not take out the Keurig cup immediately after brewing, it will stick and you have to struggle to open the brew head the next time you want to make a cup of coffee. And last, the coffee isn't really hot; it's slightly above tepid. I purchased the Single Brew Keurig not because I like Keurig but for the versatility so my husband can use Keurig and I can grind my own coffee to use.

In other words, this product was used for only 9 or 10 days. When I returned to the US, I tried using it again. It would not work. I went to the manual and used all the suggested tips.

SEOUL, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS), the world's biggest memory chip maker, will likely increase this year's investment for memory chips and build a new production line, a local news service reported on Friday.
MoneyToday, citing unnamed industry sources, said that Samsung was expected to set this year's capital expenditure for the semiconductor business at about 7 trillion won ($6.1 billion).
Samsung had said in October this year it planned to spend more than 5.5 trillion won in memory chips, which consumes most of its annual semiconductor business capex.
MoneyToday also said Samsung is planning a new chip production line in its domestic plant, marking the first time in years that it would add a line.
A Samsung spokesman declined to comment on 2010 investment plans and said no decision has been made on a possible new production line. Samsung is expected to give more details on its capex plans when it announces quarterly earnings on Jan. 29.
The memory chip industry, recovering fast from a lengthy downturn, has seen drastic investment cuts in the past year and growth in supply is expected to be limited despite rising demand.
Even this year, memory chip makers, including No. 2 player Hynix Semiconductor Inc (000660.KS), are set to spend most of their budget in upgrading facilities, mostly migrating to finer circuitry rather than building new lines. ($1=1143.0 Won) (Reporting by Rhee So-eui; Editing by Ken Wills)

A discrete-trial approach to the functional analysis of aggressive behaviour in two boys with autism
Sigafoos, Jeff & Saggers, Beth (1995) A discrete-trial approach to the functional analysis of aggressive behaviour in two boys with autism. Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, 20(4), pp. 287-297.
Intervention to reduce challenging behaviour may be enhanced when based on a prior functional analysis. The present study describes a discrete-trial approach for the functional analysis of aggressive behaviour in two boys with autism. Twenty brief assessment trials were conducted in the classroom by the teacher under each of three conditions (i.e., attention, task and tangible). The results showed a clear pattern to each child's aggressive behaviour and suggested logical intervention strategies, although the study is limited because it involved only two children. The discrete-trial approach would appear to represent a practical and ecologically valid technique for conducting a functional analysis of challenging behaviour in applied settings

Kasich signs calamity days bill
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Gov. John Kasich has signed a bill giving Ohio schools four extra calamity days.
Kasich was surrounded Wednesday by fifth-grade students from Amanda Gurney's class at Stingel Elementary School in Ontario, Ohio. He received letters in support of the measure from some of the students.
"We learned about the government, we understand how a bill becomes a law, let's take this opportunity to write to the governor," said Gurney.
Kasich gave a pen used to sign the bill to each student in the class and even let Gurney dot the "i" in his name.
"I'm not a huge sports fan. I love politics. That was my sports moment to dot the 'i.' I loved it!"
Fourth graders from Upper Arlington were also on-hand as the governor signed the bill.
Snow, ice and bone-chilling temperatures led many districts to exhaust the school year's five allowable calamity days, in which schools can close without making up the lost instructional time. The bill lets districts use the additional calamity days only after holding school on four other scheduled days off, such as holidays or during vacations.
Districts can continue to make up missed days through 30-minute increments tacked onto regularly scheduled days. They also have the option of using work-at-home "blizzard bags" and online lessons.

The shake-up in the local stockbroking industry is far from over and industry participants expect a tough operating environment to prompt further marriages between firms in 2013.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index is on track to finish the year more than 10 per cent up on 2011, spurring some hope that investor sentiment will continue to improve. Many brokers expect trading volumes to pick up in the first three months of 2013, following a sombre year in 2012 where annual volumes are hovering close to seven year lows.
Veteran broker and former head of Shaw Stockbroking Harold Shapiro said a sustained rise in the local bourse coupled with increased corporate activity would make for an improved 2013. He thinks consolidation will continue next year, albeit at a slower rate.
"There is only a relatively small number of surviving full service ASX participants still providing stockbroking for private clients," he said.
"While implementation of the new FOFA regulations and continued high overheads will contribute to further consolidation within the stockbroking industry, merger activity is likely to be less than the dismal 2012 calendar year."
This year, has seen a string of tie-ups in the industry, as volumes waned and several participants looked to retreat from a challenging operating environment. Rising compliance costs and pressure on broking commissions also weighed on earnings for the sector.
Several broking names have disappeared in 2012. Intersuisse and Austock's securities businesses merged to form Octa Phillip, EL&C Baillieu acquired FW Holst, and BBY bought Cameron Stockbrokers. CMC Markets has kicked off a sale process for its broking unit, and management and shareholders of Brisbane-based RBS Morgans orchestrated a buyout of Royal Bank of Scotland's half-stake in the company.
Wilson HTM and Ord Minnett entertained merger talks in February. Those discussions broke down and Ord instead hatched a plan to lure across Wilson advisers including Sydney desk boss Joe Pagliaro.
The Investorfirst broking business is the latest casualty of the tough operating climate. The listed company agreed to fold much of its broking business into that of Wilson, in return for the transfer of $1.4 billion of funds under management into its HUB24 platform. BBY has picked up a Sydney-based team of Investorfirst advisers and analysts.
BBY executive chairman Glenn Rosewall said while trading volumes may pick up in the first three months of 2013, macroeconomic factors still don't bode well for the broking industry and listed companies.
"I don't think it (a rise in trading volumes) is going to save some of these businesses that haven't made the right adjustments," he said. "It is still a challenging environment and the real economy isn't picking up."
Mr Rosewall expects rationalisation in the industry has a way to go and that there is still a strong possibility of a large shakeout.
Broking firms including Bell Financial, Patersons Securities, Octa Phillip and Wilson HTM posted losses in 2011-12 and Wilson has also signalled it will remain in the red in the first half of this fiscal year.

As a young boy growing up, I was always fascinated by the work of a Disk Jockey (DJ). In my teen years I had the opportunity to hang out with a lot of famous artists, producers and DJs. After being around those famous people, I realize that this type of crowd was not for me. I wanted something else so I started my own internet radio station. This undertaking still had me searching for something that I know was missing. I started reading my bible, got to study the Word of God and attend a local church to strengthen my belief in God. Now that I have chosen the path I wish to take I now play Gospel Music as well as good, clean & uplifting secular music . By doing so I am spreading the message of Jesus Christ.

Hanks, Wilson serve as honorary chairs/guest hosts for Sept. 7–9 event
After a year's sabbatical that allowed for the completion of the new Cultural Center on the Cathedral grounds, the L.A. Greek Fest is back! Hollywood's favorite superstar couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson will once again serve as honorary chairs and celebrity guest hosts of this year's "14th Annual Festival Extravaganza."
This year's event — "Celebrating the Magic and Enchantment of Greece" — will feature Greece's hottest singing sensation, Thanos Petrelis, direct from Athens. Thanos will be showcased in two special performances on Saturday and Sunday evenings. It's a "Passport to a Grecian Holiday" for everyone in Los Angeles to enjoy and appreciate — and all excitingly presented on the beautiful and expansive Grand Plaza grounds of Saint Sophia Cathedral.
"This is our fourteenth annual festival and now with the new Center to add in to the mix, we're going to celebrate the return of our event in spectacular style," enthuses Fest director Ted Pastras. "In addition to Tom and Rita, we'll have a lot of showbiz celebrities from Hollywood and people from all over Southern California coming to the Byzantine Latino Quarter to enjoy the atmosphere and fun. Tom and Rita are part of the Cathedral family, and they're lending their star power to our festival so that the people of the Southland can appreciate all the fun and excitement of the Greek Islands — right here in the City of Angels."
The festival's Passport to a Grecian Holiday theme allows guests to "celebrate the magic and enchantment of Greece." Concession booths will spotlight Greek food specialties to stimulate a culinary fantasy with the dining pleasures of Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes, Saloniki, and other exotic Hellenic destinations. It's a weekend of great food, music, and dancing — with the irresistible spirit of the Aegean.
Exquisite Greek cuisine at the various exotically themed booths will include spanakopita, calamari, pastitsio, and the spectacular flaming cheese saganaki. The always popular Greek pastry booth will serve up exotic pastry creations including baklava, powdered crescent cookies — and the king of custards, galaktoboureko.
Travel-themed raffle prizes will be awarded, including a Grand Prize Deluxe vacation package, weekend getaways, a digital TV and camera, American Tourister luggage, and more.
The Fest and Cathedral are located at 1324 S. Normandie Ave. (corner of Pico and Normandie). Free and secure parking will be available nearby and shuttle service will be offered continuously to satellite lots. The Fest runs 5–11 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 7; Saturday, Sept. 8, 1–11 p.m.; and Sunday, Sept. 9, 12–10 p.m.
Admission is free to everyone on Friday night and $3 for adults on Saturday and Sunday. Kids under 12, military personnel, and first-responders will be admitted free of charge all weekend long.

Yasser Arafat had ordered his Challenger jet at Andrews Air Force Base to take him home. Ehud Barak told aides to begin drafting a statement giving his version of why the summit had collapsed. But at literally the 11th hour last week, the Palestinian leader and the Israeli Prime Minister decided to remain at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains to see if they could agree to end their 52-year-old conflict. An exhausted Bill Clinton flew to Okinawa early Thursday morning to attend the G-8 economic summit, leaving Secretary of State Madeleine Albright behind to keep the two sides inching closer to a deal until he returned this week.
It had been a grueling two weeks for the principals, but just as intense has been the dogged diplomacy that got them to Camp David in the first place. Time has followed the diplomats behind the scenes for seven months as they trudged along the road to peace. Our exclusive report:
Wednesday night, Feb. 2: Dennis Ross, the State Department's top Middle East peace negotiator, was gloomy. Ehud Barak was a breath of fresh air after Benjamin Netanyahu, who had spent his tenure as Israeli Prime Minister throwing up one roadblock to peace after another. Barak truly wanted a treaty with the Palestinians. But Ross was still finding himself neck-deep unsnarling disputes between the two sides. Barak and Arafat were scheduled to meet the next day at Erez Crossing, the entrance to the Gaza Strip, and Ross was sure the summit would be a disaster. The two leaders were supposed to discuss the transfer of another tract of Israeli-occupied territory, land Arafat had been promised under an agreement he'd signed two years earlier with Netanyahu. A simple enough real estate exchange, but in Middle East negotiations nothing is simple.
The two men were angry. Barak was fed up with Arafat's tantrums over the transfers. Arafat felt insulted. Barak was giving him no say in what land was being transferred and, even worse, the Palestinian leader complained to Ross, publicly snubbing him on it.
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators had spent 10 days behind closed doors trying to come up with a framework agreement by Feb. 13. At a private dinner the week before, Arafat had asked Barak if he would include three Jerusalem suburbs in the land transfer. Barak said he'd consider it.
Two days later, Arafat got his answer � from an Israeli radio station. Israeli officials had leaked the news that Barak would not turn over the suburbs. Barak, who had been meticulous about protocol in the past, insisted the leak was inadvertent, but Arafat fumed that this was an affront designed to embarrass him.
Ross shuttled between Arafat's Ramallah compound and Barak's office in Jerusalem until the early morning hours of Feb. 3 trying to patch up the spat or, if that couldn't be done, to convince Barak to postpone the summit. But Barak insisted on going ahead with the meeting and, as Ross predicted, it ended in a bitter public deadlock. A framework agreement by Feb. 13 was out. Senior Clinton aides began to question whether Barak had bitten off more than he could chew. He had plunged into simultaneous negotiations with the Syrians to exchange the Golan Heights for peace, but those talks were stalemated as well. On the Palestinian track, Barak and Arafat had been playing tough to assuage their constituencies. Now bruised egos were gumming things up even more.
Monday, Feb. 28: After a week of cajoling, Ross finally got Barak and Arafat to resume negotiations on the land transfer, but the personal rift had not yet healed. Arafat also fretted that he was being ignored while Barak chased a quick deal on the Golan Heights, and had begun referring derisively to the Syrian negotiations as "the other woman." The two men were communicating only through Ross.
Ross decided to leave town. It would force Arafat and Barak to speak to each other. The ploy worked. By March 8, they had agreed to revive their talks. Arafat would have a say in what land he got in the next transfer, another tract of the occupied territory was promised to the Palestinians by the end of June, and the two sides would restart negotiations on a final peace agreement.
March-April: Progress at last. Israeli and Palestinian negotiators secluded themselves at Bolling Air Force Base near Washington D.C. Prodded by Ross's team, they began brainstorming about how a final peace agreement might look. After two rounds of talks, the negotiators had settled on an outline of what issues were essential to it. Ross flew to the Middle East to brief Barak and Arafat on progress.
Barak was encouraged as well. With the Syrian negotiations at a standstill, he convinced Arafat to open back-channel communication. As long as the front channel meetings were made public � even if their content wasn't leaked � Barak felt Arafat would never divulge to his negotiators, Saeb Erakat and Yasser Abed Rabbo, the real flexibility he had in his so-called red lines. What's more, the Israelis had never liked dealing with Erakat; they thought he slowed down the talks by dwelling on details of past agreements and old promises. So Barak sent his Internal Security Minister, Shlomo Ben Ami, and a lawyer and friend from his army days, Gilad Sher, to meet secretly with top Arafat lieutenants, Abu Alla and Hassan Asfour � first in Sweden, then in Israel.
The two sides began putting meat on the skeleton. The Israeli team was hopeful. The Palestinians, for the first time, began hinting that they might be flexible on their maximalist positions. Ross and his deputy Aaron Miller (the two men had been nicknamed "the peace brothers" in the State Department) were excited as well. The teams were still haggling, but over an actual agreement. Before, they had just been stalling.
Monday evening, June 5: To put them in a mellow mood, Barak and his wife, Nava, laid on an elaborate Japanese-themed meal at their Jerusalem home for Albright and her visiting peace team: salmon and sushi arranged on bark from Israeli forests garnished with moss and white roses.
The Secretary of State was touched. But she was also a woman in a hurry. Bill Clinton had just seven months left in office to broker a deal, and Arafat was threatening to declare a Palestinian state unilaterally if there was no peace agreement by the end of the year. After dinner, Barak and Albright walked off by themselves to the family garden. Albright warned Barak: "We can go through another breakdown or we can get a deal now." Barak was ready for Clinton to host a peace summit with him and Arafat. But he was in no mood for any more threats from the p.l.o. Palestinians had rioted in the Gaza Strip and West Bank the previous month, just as he persuaded the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, to agree to the transfer of the Jerusalem suburbs Arafat wanted.
The next day, Albright drove to Ramallah for a sumptuous lunch at Arafat's Muqata'a compound. Albright and her aides marveled at how warm and sociable Arafat and Barak were when each man met separately with the American team; if only they could be that way with each other. Arafat, however, now vented his frustrations with Barak. The Israelis still had not turned over territory promised from past accords and they continued to build settlements on disputed land, some of which had belonged to Arafat's family.
Albright convinced both men to send their negotiators back to Washington the next week.
Tuesday, June 27: Albright was back in Jerusalem. The negotiators had made no headway in Washington, and Barak, facing revolts within his coalition government, had again delayed the suburbs transfers. The good news was that Barak aides had begun leaking the compromises their boss was considering, to prepare the Israeli public for a peace deal. But Arafat wasn't doing the same with his people, Albright and her peace team worried.
Barak wanted to move quickly to a summit, calculating that it would force Arafat to begin making hard choices. Arafat wanted more negotiating by the diplomats before he walked into the same room with Clinton and Barak. Israel had a far better spin operation, particularly in the U.S., he believed. If the summit failed, the press would blame the Palestinians. Albright proposed another compromise: Arafat would get more prep time than Barak wanted, but a summit would be convened by mid-July.
Back at the White House, Albright and Clinton decided on a date: July 11 at Camp David, where Jimmy Carter had brokered a peace 22 years earlier between Israel and Egypt. It would be make or break.
Wednesday, July 19: For nine days, Clinton had cajoled and pleaded with the two leaders. But progress had been so slow that he was ready to give up and fly to Okinawa, where he was already late for the G-8 summit. The hangup: Jerusalem. Arafat demanded that the Palestinians have sovereignty over East Jerusalem, but Barak was willing to give him no more than authority over municipal services in that section of the city. The two sides also hadn't agreed on borders for a future Palestinian state and the number of Palestinian refugees who would be allowed to return, but the negotiators believed these gaps could be bridged once they decided the fate of Jerusalem.
Barak and Arafat had begun complaining to Clinton that the other man wasn't negotiating seriously. Each had threatened to walk out. Frustrated, Clinton called their bluff. He ordered his motorcade to be assembled to take him to Air Force One for the flight to Okinawa and had one of his spokesmen announce that "the summit has come to a conclusion without reaching an agreement." It worked: within an hour the two leaders told Clinton they would stay at Camp David with Albright and continue negotiating. A bleary-eyed Clinton told reporters before boarding his jet: "Nobody wanted to give up."

Budding Pot Business Needs Legal Banking: Robert Frichtelby
At a time when the country is trying to create jobs and encourage the growth of small businesses, why is the Obama administration going to such lengths to kill a thriving and legitimate industry?
Here's what's going on: Although Colorado, where I live, 15 other states and the District of Columbia have passed laws allowing medical use of marijuana, the federal government is sticking to its outdated, one-size-fits-all policy on drugs.
This was made clear last summer when the Justice Department issued a memo in which it restated that marijuana is still a so-called Schedule I drug -- the equivalent of heroin or LSD -- and has no legitimate medical use. In other words, growing and distributing medical marijuana is a felony under federal law.
The upshot of this is that any bank or credit union doing business with a medical-marijuana dispensary, even simply by allowing them a bank account, is potentially subject to money-laundering charges. These are the same class of charges that apply to genuine criminal activities such as human trafficking, arms smuggling and prostitution.
Bank Doors Shut
I've heard from many of our clients that run medical-marijuana businesses that banks have had their federal charters threatened, have been told that the access to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. insurance programs could be at risk and have been informed that individual bank employees may face criminal prosecution if they opened accounts or allowed existing accounts to stay open.
With this message from the federal government, banks have closed accounts summarily. With little or no notice, medical-marijuana businesses have been told to stop using a bank's services and withdraw any deposit balances they have.
Try being the owner of a legal business that does not have access to the banking system. You can't accept credit cards (that service was shut off, too), so all the day's business is done in cash. What do you do with the proceeds of the day's sales? How do you pay your employees? Payroll-tax withholdings need to be submitted to the government, and this can only be done by electronic withdrawal from your business's bank account. How do you pay your suppliers?
It has created many unnecessary challenges and expenses for the industry. And in states where the laws require strict and detailed accounting of business transactions, compliance becomes more difficult.
But medical marijuana is a legal business, approved by voters in Colorado in 2000, when the state adopted a constitutional amendment. Since then, medical marijuana has flourished and become an industry that contributes $25 million in sales taxes and fees and employs thousands of people at more than 600 dispensaries and manufacturers of food and other products infused with medical marijuana. In Denver County, there are more medical-marijuana dispensaries than there are Starbucks in the state.
When the support businesses are included -- such as plumbers, electricians, landlords, accountants and lawyers -- it's easy to see the strong economic prospects for this industry. And I'm referring to one state. When you include the 15 other states and the District of Columbia, this is a multibillion-dollar industry with the capacity to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in sales taxes and fees nationally, and to employ tens of thousands of people.
Access to Banking
There is a possible solution to this industry's banking crisis, but it's got a long way to go. Last year, two members of Congress -- Representative Jared Polis of Colorado and Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts -- introduced legislation to allow state-certified medical marijuana businesses to have full access to banking services.
While the legislation inches its way through the federal system, individual states are starting to take action, too. Last month, a Colorado state senator, Pat Steadman, introduced a bill that would allow the medical-marijuana businesses in Colorado to create financial-services cooperatives to supply basic banking service to the industry. Sadly, this measure failed in committee, but it's likely that another attempt for a state-sponsored solution will be made either here in Colorado or another state where medical marijuana is legal.
It is unfortunate that these extra measures are needed when the federal government could easily solve the problem it created by simply reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule II drug and taking the pressure -- to avoid medical-marijuana businesses -- off the banking system. The federal government should be working with the states to allow them to carry out their laws allowing medical marijuana, not try to push it back underground.

I don't think it's any secret that all things being equal, our preference would be to acquire a defenseman. The draft varies from year to year. I think if you look at 1998, the number is somewhere over 80 percent of those first-round selections are playing in the National Hockey League and you can have years in which it's under 50 percent.

The year of Andy
Published March 26, 2012
Yeah, I know. Even I'll admit: a year of me is too much. But when I downloaded the iPhone App called "Everyday" at the airport in Phoenix a year ago, I made a commitment. Every day, or as close to every day as possible, I would take a self-portrait.

Abigail Washburn Performs "Piao"
Video duration: 2:30
With Abby, what would never work on paper has a way of coming out natural and swinging, this song being a perfect example. There's simply no one else on the planet who could pull this off. Piao means "floating," and Abby sings in Mandarin, "This morning I woke up to no big plans, no great ambitions, just floating, floating, floating..." It's hard to explain the mix of influences in this song.

Modeling Quantile Dependence: A New Look at the Money-Output Relationship
Do money supply shocks influence output growth asymmetrically? At different levels of output growth, would the influence of the same monetary policy stance vary? To address these questions, we propose a series-estimation method that models the quantile of output growth on the quantile of money supply shock, where restrictive (expansive) policies are represented by the left (right) tail of the shockÂ's distribution. Generally, we find that each quantile of output growth responds more to restrictive than expansive money supply shocks. For M2 money supply, both restrictive and expansive shocks become even more effective when applied to output growth in its tails.

PK Reporting
From The Urban Dead Wiki
Many groups in Malton maintain lists of PKers
General PKer Lists
Hunter's Hub
NecroConnect maintains a bounty board on their site, designed to replace the Rogues Gallery, and make it easier for bounty hunters to do their jobs in general.
Like the Rogues Gallery that came before it, the Hunter's Hub collects PK reports, that are then approved by moderators and added to the bounty board. NecroConnect also keeps score on the bounty hunters, awarding them points equal to half the bounty on a claim (rounded up).
The Rogues Gallery
The Rogues Gallery was a full-featured tool for viewing the PKer database, reviewing PK reports and downloading a UD Tool list of PKers on demand. You could report a PKer or a collected bounty using the reporting form. Reports were reviewed and approved by RG moderators before being added to the official record. PKer sightings should have be reported to the PKer sightings thread on the Rogues Gallery forum.
Bounties were assigned at an increasing rate for repeat PKers, in hopes of providing a stronger deterrent for serial PKers while not overly penalizing those who may quickly change their play style. The database was also tied in to the DEM Revivification Requests tool, so informed revivers can avoid bringing PKers back to life to kill again. See the Rogues Gallery for details.
- Please note that while members of the DEM were the creators and first moderators of the Rogues Gallery PK list, the Rogues Gallery was an independent entity run by its own set of moderators. The DEM Council did not direct PK/bounty reporting policy. At some point, the site it was hosted on went offline.
The PKer list moderated by Token Black Man, formerly located on desensitised.net.
Snitches, Hunters and Communists, oh my!
Red Rum maintains a fully fledged list of active Bounty Hunters, Snitches, Zergers, Communists, Democrats, Red Rum members, Door-to-Door salesmen and many, many, more. Formally located on the PKers Hub, this new list is still in its fledgling state and should be seeing a lot of changes in the upcoming months.
History & Controversy
There is no official Urban Dead PKer list - PKing isn't even officially an in-game concept but is rather a meta-gaming concern among players. PKer lists have been around for a long time, and have frequently been a topic of much controversy. Read the history and disclaimer sections of the PKer page for background, and check out all the available lists.

Early press reactions to opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko's victory in Ukraine's presidential election show relief tinged with concern about relations with Russia, the country's traditional partner.
The opposition-leaning Kiev daily Gazeta po-Kiyevski is glad that Mr Yushchenko submitted to a re-run, rather than claim victory on the back of the massive street protests against his arch-rival, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.
"It seems Ukrainian society has grasped that a legally-elected president is worth ten who are placed on the 'throne' to satisfy the demands of revolutionary speeches," it concludes.
Cometh the hour?
The newspaper also interviews a poet, Oksana Zabuzhko, who believes Mr Yushchenko is the right man for Ukraine in its current situation.
"People used to say that nobody can deny Yushchenko is a good man, but being a good man is not a profession," she says.
"Now it turns out that this is just what our corrupt society needs - there are rare periods in history when this is all that is needed."
Orange rules
In Russia, there is acceptance that the opposition has prevailed - coupled with questions about the Kremlin's earlier support for Mr Yanukovych.
An article in the liberal daily Gazeta carries the simple headline: "The Revolution Won".
It notes the prevalence on the streets of Kiev of the colour orange - the symbol of Mr Yushchenko's campaign.
"Every third person in Kiev was wearing orange ribbons on election day," it observes.
"Almost all dummies in shop-windows had orange clothes on them, and orange scarves, ribbons and caps were sold at the entrance to every underground station."
Izvestiya carries an attack on Russia's perceived interference, headlined "Moscow spin doctors convinced nobody but the Russians".
"The only result of the massive interference in the Ukrainian election by Russian spin doctors is our images of the 'good guy Yanukovych' and 'Russia's enemy Yushchenko bought by the Americans', as well as a scornful attitude towards the latter's 'mercenary' and 'blockhead' supporters," it says.
The business daily Kommersant comments that Mr Yushchenko's victory "reflected the (Russian) power elite's inability to use its administrative resources" to influence the result.
Polish pride
Meanwhile, there is a glow of satisfaction in neighbouring Poland.
"A happy day for Ukraine", declares the right-of-centre Zycie Warszawy.
"Viktor Yushchenko has won", it says, "and with him, democracy and the country's future".
Moreover, it adds, "everyone acknowledges that Poland played a big part in making sure there was a re-run of the second round".
But the left-of-centre Trybuna is more cautious, warning that winning the election in such a divided country will prove to have been the easy part.
"The orange revolution has raised high hopes that could now bring great disappointment," it fears.
"Ukraine will have to choose what road it takes into the future. The worst outcome would be to see the country divided in two."
Rzeczpospolita believes that "if Yushchenko is not docile enough, Moscow has dozens of means, political or economic, to persuade Ukrainians that their place is with Russia".

The breathing is not affected unless the operation is followed by stenosis.
Stimulation, together with the stenosis (narrowing), tend to produce a closure.
It is probable that slight cases of stenosis can be treated better by intubation than by thyrotomy.
Non-stenotic dilatations which are comparable in degree to those produced by stenosis are rare.
The last writer especially distinguishes clearly between dilatation due to stenosis and that due to atony.
The progress of the disease depends upon the degree and the stationary or advancing character of the stenosis.
The sensation of stoppage of the food is usually felt lower down than in ordinary cases of stenosis of the oesophagus.
stenosis, and finally occlusion, of the common duct may arise from the cicatrization of an ulcer.
The degree of dilatation in these cases is rarely so great as when the dilatation is caused by stenosis.

Cape Lambert Resources shares fell after it deferred the initial public offering for its copper spin-off, Q Copper Ltd, due to adverse market conditions.
The shares were down 6¢, or 11.88 per cent, at 44.5¢ at 12.30pm AEDT on Thursday.
Cape Lambert said the IPO was being withdrawn until uncertain market conditions improved.
"Application monies will be refunded to investors in the next few days," Cape Lambert said in a statement on Thursday.
Q Copper is the vehicle for Cape Lambert's Lady Annie copper project near Mt Isa in Queensland, which was bought along with other assets from Copper Co last year for about $106 million.
Cape Lambert shareholders have approved the spin-off, in which Cape Lambert would have kept up to 15 per cent of Q Copper.
Cape Lambert will go ahead with an exploration drilling program at Lady Annie as it waits for market conditions to improve.
Cape Lambert executive chairman Tony Sage said: "We are disappointed with the deterioration of the market in recent weeks, and its impact on the IPO.
"Lady Annie remains a very good copper project within a substantial landholding in the world class Mt Isa Inlier."
