We very much enjoyed the spacious house and the great hospitality of the host. Highly recommended.
The house is exactly as it appears in the pictures: modern, warm and with everything you need. I spent there one week with my family and - even if most of the time we were out, visiting this beautiful island - we really enjoyed our stay in the house. Overall, the best price-quality I found in the Azores during my holiday.
Finally, Miguel and his family have been really friendly and provided all kinds of information we needed. Thank you Miguel !
The property is as good as it appears in the photos. The new remodel has beautifully blended the old architecture with a clean, modern design. It is spacious with a large kitchen, large bathroom, delightful patio area, loft living room (with a view of the ocean) and two large bedrooms. The location is central to the island which allows one to explore all the magnificent gems east, west, north and south. The beaches nearby are also beautiful and easy to swim at. Best of all was the host, Miguel. He epitomizes the azoreans with his kind hospitality. I highly recommend this accommodation.
Very stylish house, nicely decorated. Bring your ear-plugs, if you are sensible to street noise, since the 2 bedrooms face directly the street.
However, only few cars use the street during night and day but drive very fast. The house was cleaned very well. This is also true for the dishes. Well equipped kitchen. You can pick figs from the tree in the small garden at the back. Miguel, the owner is super-friendly and easygoing. His house is directly beside this rental home. Had some difficulties to contact him via e-mail, so better call him on his mobile or send a short message. He also gives you a lot of recommendations, what to do in the area.
All in all a wonderful vacation. Our full recommendations. And thank you, Miguel.
Staying in this lovely guest house, with Miguel and Filomena as our hosts, made our trip to beautiful Sao Miguel island a wonderful and unforgettable experience for our whole family.
The house itself has been lovingly restored and captures the traditional spirit of the Azores (it is truly stunning), while providing all the modern conveniences such as high speed wireless internet and new appliances to make our stay relaxing and easy. Our family of four (with children aged 8 and 13) could spread out and feel at home during our two week stay, with lots of room to spare. Upon arrival, the house was immaculately clean, with fresh fruit and a sampling of local delicacies waiting for us. We had plenty of privacy, even a charming walled garden and patio where we could enjoy the sunshine or the shade of a large fig tree, and hang laundry or beach towels to dry.
Filomena and Miguel live close by and helped us in so many ways. Whether we needed directions to the local beaches or supermarket, tips for good places to eat, contacts for deep sea fishing or (of course!) whale watching and dolphin swimming, or even a doctor when our son needed medical care unexpectedly, Miguel and Filomena made sure that we had everything we needed.
Even more than the practical benefits of having such knowledgeable and generous hosts, we truly felt a part of the local community and experienced the Azores in ways we never could have otherwise. Miguel and Filomena's love of the Island is contagious, and we are already looking forward to our next visit!
This has been my very best experience of renting a house for vacations. Every thing exceeded my best expectations. The owners are true hosts, their service is excellent and provided our family the best suggestions to enjoy the island to its full.
The house is so well decorated, all seems in the right place to welcome you in. Simple and plain and so nice at the same time and so cozy. The patio is a magnificent place for relaxing and meditation. One of the nights, I couldn't resist to stay out until dawn, enjoying the night sky full of stars. What a peaceful moment. Children loved the patio too and took long showers with the garden hose.
We would have stayed in doors more if it wasn't for the activities on a daily basis. The weather was fantastic and invited outdoors activities all day long. We'll return in winter, for sure, expecting to have some rainy days to stay in the house and light up that fantastic traditional oven and bake some nice food.
Do not forget to follow Mr. Cravinho recommendations of Portuguese wines, buy and taste them all, it's a delight for the senses.
Ask him about the Whale Boat "Sra de Fátima" you'll see what a great story teller he is and how much heart he puts into his words. The boat is a piece of History and a live museum, not to miss.
We had not the chance to do all we wanted, 2 weeks are too short in this island to see and to do all we were suggested by Mr. Cravinho apart from our own plans. This is not a problem as we decided we'll be coming back and repeat the stay at this great house and these great hosts more often.
Thank you for being so nice to us.

The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) produces examination content in both official languages (English/French). It follows a comprehensive quality assurance process to ensure that examination content, whether in English or French, is of the highest quality.

Content development
MCC examination content is developed by the MCC's test committees, made up of physicians from across Canada who are experts in their fields. The test committees include representation from both official language groups (English and French).
Translation process
Examination questions are initially created in English by the test committees. The MCC then sends the questions to professional translators who have medical terminology translation expertise. Once the translation is complete, the following quality assurance steps are taken and content revisions made as required:
- MCC in-house editors perform multiple comparative reads (comparing English questions to French translations).
- A Francophone test committee member performs another set of comparative reviews, which includes reading the content out loud.
- Francophone specialist physicians from French faculties of medicine participate in another round of comparative readings. Each French examination question is reviewed by two to three Francophone physicians during these sessions.
Candidate input
The MCC encourages candidates taking the examination to report any content that may be ambiguous or confusing. Candidates can also make comments in the "notes" section attached to each exam question. All candidate reports and comments about the quality of the content are reviewed by the committee prior to scoring the examination.
Question analysis
New content, whether in English or in French, is piloted before it is used as active content on the examination. Pilot questions do not count toward the candidate's score. The MCC analyzes candidates' response patterns after the examination. Any question that does not perform as expected is returned to the committee for review and revision, and is later re-piloted.
Should an active question not meet expected performance requirements, it is also flagged for review by the committee prior to scoring the examination. If it is determined that an error or flaw in the question could have affected performance, it will not count toward the candidates' score.

Donut Patrol: Christy's
A bunch of people were ordering the cinnamon-coated glazed donuts at Christy's on Montrose so I followed suit. But the donut was disappointing -- it tasted very dry. The glazed donut wasn't worth eating either. It didn't make sense. This place has lots of customers all the time, so where are the hot donuts? Is there something I'm missing? What do Christy's fans order?

The export of money abroad is expensive
Customs service (FTS) proposes to establish for entrepreneurs draconian penalties for untimely repayment of money removed from the country under dubious loan contracts or international contracts. The penalty can reach 100% of the amount of the unreturned funds. Plus customs and tax authorities will have the right in court to achieve recognition of the nullity of such transactions. The relevant amendments have already been prepared.
photo: Gennady Cherkasov
Due to the weak ruble, the fall of foreign economic activity, reduction in tourist arrivals over the last two or three years, the volume of net export of capital from Russia is constantly decreasing. In 2014 it totaled $153 billion, in 2015 — $56,9 billion (or 3.7 trillion — a quarter of the Federal budget. — "MK"), for the first quarter of the current year to $12.8 billion, falling to 3.5 times in comparison with the value a year earlier.
However, Russia still remains one of the world leaders in the export of money. It is clear that most of these funds is not criminal. Under a net withdrawal of funds is subject to absolutely everything from payments on external corporate debts to card spend of Russian tourists to overseas resorts.
This year the decree of President Putin of customs and tax authorities gave the status of the monetary authority with a mandate to bring offenders to justice, levy fines, etc.
The FCS claim that last year managed to prevent the illegal transfer of money associated with the violation of currency legislation in the amount of $2.5 billion would be about 4-5% of the total. It's just something that you "catch". Realistically, this figure could be much higher.
There are two basic ways of illegal export of capital. The first is the sending of money abroad under a bogus contract for the procurement of something short-lived companies. Sometimes, by the way, in such schemes use real contracts, but the declared value of imported goods is overstated at times, to send abroad more money. The product itself in this case, duty-free, that the declarant did not get to additional customs fees.
Such a channel was recently closed in the Kaliningrad region. According to the representative of the FCS Elena Ladinos, one entrepreneur bought the machine in Europe for the production of printed circuit boards, increasing their value tenfold. It is possible that the provision of such services for some traders is an additional extra earnings.
The second common method. The company provides overseas affiliated counterparties loans in foreign currency, which are simply displayed, including offshore. According to the Central Bank, only in the last five years the amounts are not refunded means in the terms established by credit agreements, amount to tens of billions of dollars.
In the state Duma there is a government bill providing for the obligation for the repatriation (return) by residents on their accounts in authorised banks of money owed in accordance with the terms of loan agreements. For failure to comply with this rule will be very significant penalties: up to 100% of the amount of the unpaid borrowings. In case of return of a loan in violation of term fine is 1/150 of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the loan amount. In fact we are talking about doubling the amount is not returned in the term of the loan to be paid into the Treasury.
Simultaneously, the Finance Ministry has prepared amendments, according to which customs officers and tax specialists will be able to admit in court the nullity of sham transactions.
If it helped or not is unknown. Now for violation of currency legislation and so provides for liability up to a real prison term, but the number initiated by the customs authorities of cases (260 criminal and administrative 5 thousand in 2015), as well as the amount of fines are not very large. Especially given the extent of the problem.
In General, government measures may well be regarded as "flowers". The Communist faction in the state Duma proposed a much more stringent enforcement against illicit export of capital. For example, authorization to perform foreign exchange operations, not related to the export and import of goods and services, the imposition of restrictions on the acquisition of legal entities, except banks, and citizens of a foreign currency, except for payment of contracts, credits and loans. Finally, the mandatory sale by residents 100% of foreign currency revenue credited to their accounts in the banks.Related posts:

Insider threats are the underappreciated threat. They fly under the radar as stories about hackers get top billing. Insider attacks are more insidious because they betray the trust the company has in its employees, partners and systems. Insider threats are the hardest to detect and take longer to discover than any other threats, according to the most recent Verizon Data Breach Report. Insider threats range across types and include: intentional data theft as in the Morgan Stanley breach; possible insider trading, like that recently seen in the LinkedIn acquisition; garden variety employee mistakes, such as the Google insider data breach; and ex-employees accused of taking trade secrets, as alleged in an IBM lawsuit. And then there are the active efforts by criminals to recruit insiders on the Dark Web or nation-state espionage that takes the form of phishing emails or bribed insiders.
The insider threat is not really a cybersecurity problem or a data analytics issue; it's a human risk problem that can only be solved by understanding how people think and behave. In this slideshow, RedOwl has applied the science of risk assessment to employee behavior and come up with six persona types of employees who represent insider threat risks.

Maybe it's cheating, but cosplayer Sloan Hood has an inside track when it comes to this cosplay for the upcoming Bungie game Destiny.
He's an artist at Bungie. Which means that he had all kinds of access to the artwork for the costume and the 3D models for the "Thorn" sidearm (which, incidentally, looks frakkin' amazing).
Apparently, he got his hands on the actual model for the gun from Destiny's 3D artists, broke it up, and ran it through a 3D printer.
I wonder if he'll make an extra one for me. 🙂
Check it out after the break.

The hacktivist group was protesting the plans to allow New Zealand's intelligence agency to spy on local residents
Anonymous, the hacker-activist (hacktivist) group on Tuesday briefly crashed website of New Zealand Prime Minister John Key. The hacktivist group was protesting the plans to allow New Zealand's intelligence agency to spy on local residents.
A group identifying itself as Anonymous NZ posted a clip on YouTube saying it had attacked Key's website www.johnkey.co.nz and 12 others linked to the ruling National Party to show its opposition to 'a despicable piece of legislation'.
"John Key make no mistake the majority of New Zealanders oppose this bill. Due to your own arrogance and your unwillingness to listen to the people we have decided to take direct action," the group said in a message posted on the site.
New Zealand's intelligence service, the Government Communications Security Bureau, is currently barred from spying on New Zealand citizens or residents.
The bill is currently before Parliament and expected to pass by a single vote, although groups ranging from the Law Society to Internet giants Facebook and Google have raised concerns about the proposal.
Key's website was operating normally by afternoon and the prime minister condemned the hackers. Speaking with Radio New Zealand, he said, "(It's) pretty juvenile behaviour in my view. These people are obviously doing something that's both illegal and inappropriate. They're trying to make their own political point, but their point is wrong."
Key argues the restriction should be removed so it can cooperate more closely with agencies such as the police and military in an increasingly complex cyber-security environment.
Reliance Power reported benign earnings for its June quarter due to lower sales off-take. It has also commissioned the 45 megawatt wind plant in Vashpet
Reliance Power Ltd reported a flat net profit for the first quarter to end-June on lower sales. For the quarter to end-June, the Reliance-Anil Dhirubhai Ambani (R-ADA) group company said, its consolidated net profit remained flat at Rs240.06 crore from Rs239.50 crore, while its consolidated net sales declined 1.2% to Rs1,122.85 crore from Rs1,135.75, same period last year.
JP Chalasani, chief executive of Reliance Power, said, "The regulatory approval for selling power on the cost-plus basis from the 600 megawatts (MW) Butibori power project would page the way for substantially mitigating the sectoral challenges such as fuel and commercial risk for the plant and I am confident of improved performance once the off-take commences."
During the quarter, the company commissioned the 45MW wind project in Vashpet. The company also generated a record 20 million units at its Dhursar solar plant. Meanwhile, its 1,200MW Rosa power plant operated at an availability of 100% at a plant load factor of 72%.
The company said that the construction activities are in progress for the second 660MW unit of the 3,960MW Sasan ultra mega power plant (UMPP) and the project is on track to be commissioned ahead of bid schedule. Similarly, the construction work is in full swing at the 100MW concentrated solar power project in Dhursar, Rajasthan, the R-ADA group company said.
Reliance Power closed Tuesday 3.5% down at Rs72.3 on the BSE, while the 30-share Sensex ended the day 1.3% down at 19,348.
If investigating agencies in the country were to diligently enforce the timelines laid down, they would not have to resort to Section 8(1)(h) to refuse information, the CIC said. This is the 144th in a series of important judgements given by former Central Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi that can be used or quoted in an RTI application
The Central Information Commission (CIC), while allowing an appeal, directed the Public Information Officer (PIO) Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) to provide the information to the appellant. The PIO had denied information claiming exemption under Section 8(1)(h) of the Right to Information Act stating that investigations are going on.
While giving this judgement on 13 May 2011, Shailesh Gandhi, the then Central Information Commissioner said, "The respondent (PIO) admits that CVC's guidelines for completing all investigations is three months. In the instant case, it is admitted that over 18 months have elapsed. In view of this, the Commission does not accept the denial of information under Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act."
New Delhi resident Lalit Kumar Jha, on 16 July 2010, sought information about complaints filed by AK Builders against PK Jam, in-charge of engineering/ EB (C) at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). Here is the information he sought from the PIO of CVC under the Right to Information (RTI) Act:-
1. Copies of the all complaints/file notings /documents/material evidence (if any) by AK Khanna, Proprietor of AK Builders, K-lll-20, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi-I 10024 against PK Jam, in-charge of engineering/ EB (C) at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi-I 10067 and Commission's replies to the complainant at various stages from 2003 to till date.

If the Commission desires, complete details on the subject matter may be provided.
The PIO provided information on all questions except at point1, 2, 3 and 5 claiming exemption under Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act on grounds that the investigation was not over.
Not satisfied with the PIO's reply, Jha filed his first appeal. There was no order from the First Appellate Authority (FAA).
Jha then approached the CIC with his second appeal citing no order from the FAA and wrong denial of information by the PIO under Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act.
During the hearing, Mr Gandhi, the then CIC, noted that the PIO has supplied some information to Jha. However, the PIO refused to give information on queries 1, 2, 3 and 5 claiming exemption under Section-8(1)(h) of the RTI Act.
Section-8(1)(h) of the RTI Act exempts,
"information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders;".
The Bench then asked the PIO to justify how disclosing the information on query-1, 2, 3 and 5 would impede the investigation.
The PIO stated "unless the preliminary investigation is over the element of confidentiality should be maintained to ensure a fair and speedy investigation without any attempt from the interested parties to interfere or jeopardize the investigation process."
After this Jha, the appellant, produced a letter purportedly from Vinod Khadria, CVO (JNU) addressed to Prabhat Kumar, director of CVC dated 18 February 2011. The letter stated, "I therefore, conclude that the complaint of M/s AK Builders mentioned above do not stand scrutiny of facts and therefore it be dismissed and the case closed. The CVC may however advise any further investigation or course of action as deemed appropriate."
The PIO stated that if CVC has closed the case he would have no hesitation in providing all the information sought by the appellant. The CIC then adjourned the hearing to give an opportunity to the PIO to check if the information can be provided.
During the hearing on 13 May 2011, the PIO stated the case was not closed so far and was under examination. However, he was not able to establish how disclosing the information would impede the process of investigation.
The PIO stated that it had been about over 18 months since the investigation has been going on. Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act exempts disclosure of "information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders".
In Bhagatsingh vs CIC WP (c ) no.3114/2007, Justice Ravindra Bhat has held...
"13. Access to information, under Section 3 of the Act, is the rule and exemptions under Section 8, the exception. Section 8 being a restriction on this fundamental right, must therefore is to be strictly construed. It should not be interpreted in manner as to shadow the very right itself. Under Section 8, exemption from releasing information is granted if it would impede the process of investigation or the prosecution of the offenders. It is apparent that the mere existence of an investigation process cannot be a ground for refusal of the information; the authority withholding information must show satisfactory reasons as to why the release of such information would hamper the investigation process. Such reasons should be germane, and the opinion of the process being hampered should be reasonable and based on some material. Sans this consideration, Section 8(1)(h) and other such provisions would become the haven for dodging demands for information.
14. A rights based enactment is akin to a welfare measure, like the Act, should receive a liberal interpretation. The contextual background and history of the Act is such that the exemptions, outlined in Section 8, relieving the authorities from the obligation to provide information, constitute restrictions on the exercise of the rights provided by it. Therefore, such exemption provisions have to be construed in their terms; there is some authority supporting this view (See Nathi Devi vs Radha Devi Gupta 2005 (2) SCC 201; BR Kapoor vs State of Tamil Nadu 2001 (7) SCC 231 and V Tulasamma vs Sesha Reddy 1977 (3) SCC 99). Adopting a different approach would result in narrowing the rights and approving a judicially mandated class of restriction on the rights under the Act, which is unwarranted."
Mr Gandhi said, "Denial of a citizen's fundamental right must be justified and the mere act of continuing an investigation cannot be used to deny citizens' rights. Most investigations and investigators in the country appear to take an enormous amount of time to decide or conclude anything."
"If investigating agencies in the country were to diligently enforce the timelines laid down, they would not have to resort to Section 8(1)(h) to refuse information. In view of this, the Commission does not accept the denial of information under Section 8(1)(h) of the RTI Act," he added.
While allowing the appeal, the Bench directed the PIO to provide the information to Jha before 30 May 2011.

The greatest thing about Google's mobile OS: You have your choice of handsets on all the major wireless carriers.
Here are the top 10 Android phones. These days, it seems like there's always a smarter, faster, bigger Android phone on the horizon.
Google's mobile operating system has managed to capture a record 80 percent share of the global smartphone OS market, according to research firm Strategy Analytics. That's thanks to Android's competitive licensing costs, a large, ever-growing app store, and numerous hardware partners—HTC, LG, Motorola, Samsung, and others offer multiple Android handsets on each carrier.
And that's one of the best things about Android: Choice. At any given time, on Verizon Wireless alone, there are at least 20 different Android handsets to choose from. AT&T sells just as many, and Sprint, T-Mobile, and the regional carriers also offer plenty of choices these days. But how do you decide on the right one?
To come up with our list of top Android phones, we've chosen one or two winners for each of the four major carriers from our highest-rated phones. (And many of our picks are available on multiple major carriers.) And for the contract-phobic, we've thrown in the best unlocked handset.
Since we're continually testing phones, we update this list frequently to reflect the best of what we've seen. If you've settled on Android as your mobile platform, and you're in the market for a new phone right now, these models are your best bets. But the way things are going, we can assure you that there's another great 'Droid right around the corner.
HTC One (Multiple Carriers)
The innovative, well-built, aluminum-clad Sprint HTC One is an easy Editors' Choice winner. Its strong design perspective won't be for everyone, especially Android purists. But it's a major step forward, and should satisfy those who think Samsung's plastic-based Galaxy phones look and feel a little chintzy. And it's available on all four major carriers.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Multiple Carriers)
Available on all four major U.S. carriers, Samsung refines its top-tier phablet with the 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3, a powerful, full HD phone/tablet combo that may be the only mobile device you need.
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Multiple Carriers)
Even better than its excellent predecessor, the fully loaded, fast Samsung Galaxy S4 is the ultimate kitchen-sink Android phone for 2013, with something for everyone. Get one on AT&T, Cricket, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, or Verizon Wireless.
Motorola Moto X
(Multiple Carriers)
AT&T's Moto X is the best version of a very good phone, thanks to the Moto Maker customization options. If you want a phone of your very own, this is the one to get. And you can comfortably use it with a single hand.
LG G2 (Multiple Carriers)
How big do you want it? The latest superphone, the LG G2 is the most phone possible right now, with a 5.2-inch screen in a barely handheld form factor. And while its processor and hardware are superior to Samsung's industry-leading 5-inch Galaxy S4, a few bugs and rough edges cause it to fall just short of replacing it as our Editors' Choice. Available on three of the four major carriers, you can preorder the G2 on Sprint, but that model won't go on sale until early November.
Samsung Galaxy Mega (AT&T)
The Samsung Galaxy Mega is both absurd and awesome. It has the largest screen of any smartphone in the U.S., and is a top Android-based pick on AT&T if you don't need the absolute latest cutting-edge components and want to save some cash.
Kyocera Torque (Sprint)
If you're rough on your phones, the Kyocera Torque is one that will take a serious beating. With its ultra-rugged design, excellent voice performance, solid specs, and LTE support, it's the best push-to-talk smartphone there is. And it's affordable.
Droid Maxx by Motorola (Verizon Wireless)
If bigger is better in your book, the Motorola Droid Maxx packs a big battery and more memory into yet another phone with roughly the same features as the Moto X, which we love. But although the Maxx has more storage and better battery life than the X, it loses some of the friendly, human qualities that make the X so appealing.
Droid Mini by Motorola (Verizon Wireless)
If 5-inch megaphones are just too big for your delicate hands, take a look at the Motorola Droid Mini. With the Droid Mini, you save $150 over the very similar Moto X in exchange for suffering through some Verizon bloatware and slightly weaker signal strength. But that could be a good deal.
Google Nexus 5 (Unlocked)
Google has delivered an impressive smartphone with the Nexus 5 from LG, an unlocked powerhouse with a palatable price and solid performance, and the new Android 4.4.1 KitKat update largely fixes the phone's initial camera problems.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – CSU Bakersfield's men's basketball team will wrap up its first Western Athletic Conference road trip of the season with a WAC Tournament finals rematch against the New Mexico State Aggies Saturday night. The Roadrunners and Aggies are set to square off at the Pan American Center where CSUB will look to continue its win streak against NMSU.
CSUB continued conference play Thursday night with a road victory over UTRGV. The Roadrunner senior leaders paced the way to the 88-81 win with Matt Smith scoring a career-high 23 points against the Vaqueros. Fellow seniors Dedrick Basile and Jaylin Airington scored 19 and 18 points, respectively, as CSUB's offense outshot the highly-efficient UTRGV shooters. The 'Runners improved to 11-6 (2-0 WAC) on the season with the victory.
New Mexico State finished a tough non-conference slate well and continues to lead the WAC with a nearly perfect record (16-2, 3-0 WAC). On Thursday night, the Aggies bested Grand Canyon at home in an 81-69 victory. Six Aggies scored in double digits while Jemerrio Jones' 19 points were a team-high.
The win over GCU extended NMSU's home conference win streak to 36 games, second-best active streak in the nation behind only Stephen F. Austin (39). The Aggies are also currently on a 14 game win streak, third behind only Gonzaga (16) and Kansas (15).
The 'Runners came into the week ranked 26th in the nation in scoring defense allowing just 63.6 ppg. They are forcing an average of 17 turnovers a game, 14th-most in the nation. Bakersfield's pressure-defense has created 136 steals in 16 games, 29th-most in the NCAA. The 'Runners are averaging 73 ppg and are led by Damiyne Durham's 1.36 ppg. Durham is one of the top three-point shooters in the country with 58 three's made this season, 8th-most in the NCAA.
A year ago, the 'Runners fell to NMSU in both regular season matchups, but bested the Aggies on Basile's buzzer-beating shot to win the WAC Tournament and send the 'Runners to the NCAA Tournament for the first time. Basile paced the 'Runners in that game with 18 points while Durham added 15 points and Airington scored 12.
Saturday's game can be heard live on Newstalk 1180/96.1 FM KERN and can be seen on Aggie Access. Links for live stats for the game can be found here.

Tax Overhaul Shouldn't Cut Top Earner Rates, Schumer Says
Any congressional effort to overhaul the U.S. tax code should make deficit reduction a priority instead of cutting high-income Americans' tax rates, Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer said.
"It would be a huge mistake to take the dollars we gain from closing loopholes and put them into reducing rates for the highest-income brackets, rather than into reducing the deficit," Schumer, the third-ranking Senate Democrat, said today in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington. "The old style of tax reform is obsolete in a 2012 world."
Schumer's stance puts him at odds with bipartisan proposals from President Barack Obama's Simpson-Bowles deficit-cutting commission and a group of Republican and Democratic senators known as the Gang of Six, which has expanded to eight members. Schumer, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, isn't part of either group.
"Reagan-style reform worked over 25 years ago," Schumer said. "As a result, it has a great deal of appeal to some of the most serious fiscal thinkers in Washington."
Schumer put the group of eight senators in that camp. Included in the group are Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate's second-ranking Democrat, and Kent Conrad of North Dakota, a Democratic member of the Finance Committee.
Bush Tax Cuts
The tax issue, particularly whether to extend the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for married couples earning more than $250,000 a year and individuals earning more than $200,000 a year, is contributing to gridlock between congressional Democrats and Republicans as the so-called fiscal cliff approaches. In January, $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts will begin and the Bush-era tax cuts will expire unless Congress can agree on a plan to avert the changes.
Obama and Democrats propose letting the tax cuts expire for top earners. Republicans have called for curtailing tax breaks and lowering marginal tax rates. The House-passed budget calls for dropping the top rate to 25 percent, while Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney wants a 28 percent top rate.
"The top rate for the highest earners should probably return to Clinton-era levels, and stay somewhere around there," Schumer said. Still, he said, "I do think it is too much to treat capital gains the same way as ordinary income. We don't need a 39.6 percent rate on capital gains."
'My Way Forward'
Schumer said he has spoken about his plan with White House officials and with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, and Senator Max Baucus of Montana, chairman of the Finance Committee.
"This is my way forward, not theirs," the senator said.
In a June speech, Baucus said the "only way forward" for the U.S. to reduce the long-term budget deficit is through a combination of spending cuts and tax increases. He didn't specify details such as a top rate, a revenue level or how to address tax breaks.
Reid's office didn't immediately reply to a request for comment.
Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, criticized Schumer's proposal.
"The default position of the president's party is our economy, debt and entitlement programs are just fine, and the only solution is to raise taxes on one of the most productive segments of our economy," Hatch said in an e-mailed statement.
Also today, former Michigan Governor John Engler, now president of the Business Roundtable, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that he sees "no chance" that Congress will resolve the spending issues by the end of this year. The Business Roundtable is a Washington-based organization of corporate chief executive officers.
Engler said he would prefer that lawmakers agree to extend current tax and spending policies for six months or a year to provide time to work on a "larger strategy, then, on total fiscal reform for the United States where we get our entitlement spending and tax reforms in place."

Want rooftop solar panels without busting the budget? A new financing option is catching on in the United States. More home builders are installing solar panels, which buyers rent from solar companies, reports USA TODAY colleague Julie Schmit.
Builders Lennar and Toll Bros. recently opened new home developments in California in which solar panels are included at no upfront cost to buyers, she reports Buyers lease the panels from the solar companies, which continue to own them. Such an option has existed for years for owners of existing homes but is just starting to take off for new homes.
"It makes the most sense for new home buyers who are unable to wrap the solar system cost — often $10,000 to $20,000 — into their mortgages," Schmit writes. "Builders are considering the lease arrangements as a way to make solar affordable and distinguish their new homes in a tough economy." The story adds:
"Most of the major builders have nosed around it," says Robert Hammon of energy consulting firm ConSol. He expects new home solar — and the lease option — to spread slowly in the next year.
Most of the solar-system-buying action has been in California, where state incentives and a 30% federal tax credit can halve the cost, says Lynn Jurich, president of solar company SunRun.
And now California also is the center of the budding solar home-lease business for:
•Toll Bros. Eighteen of 20 home buyers recently chose the solar-service option at Toll's development in Yorba Linda, Calif., says Jim Boyd, regional president of Toll, which expects to expand the program to three other California developments. "It's another feature of a new home that will help us sell."
Toll has partnered with SunRun to offer 20-year leases. For a home that would have a $150 electric bill, the solar program would save about $50 a month, Jurich says.
When the lease expires, homeowners can renew, buy the panels or remove them. Leases can transfer with home sales.
•Lennar. In June, Lennar rolled out solar lease options for several developments in Fresno and Southern California, after testing the concept last year in Sacramento. Lennar partnered with solar company SunPower. Of the 260 solar homes sold, half were with leased solar, says Matt Brost, general manager of SunPower's new home division.
SunPower has put solar on 4,500 new homes since 2006, largely in California but also Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and New Jersey. Brost says 5% to 7% of new homes in California now have solar.
Wendy Koch has been a reporter and editor at USA TODAY since 1998, covering politics and social issues. She's begun a quest to build the most eco-friendly home her budget allows. She'll share her experience and give you tips for greening your home. More about Wendy

M$ compliance with censorship raises alarms
Chinese bloggers who use Microsoft's new Web portal to post messages captioned "democracy," "capitalism," "liberty" or "human rights" are greeted with a scolding response.
A bright yellow warning appears: "This message includes forbidden language. Please delete the prohibited expression."
The restrictions were agreed upon by Microsoft and its Chinese partner, the government-linked Shanghai Alliance Investment. But the forbidden words have sparked a debate here and in the online world about how free speech could be threatened when the world's most powerful software company forges an alliance with the largest Communist country.
Multinational companies from cigarette makers to baby formula companies routinely change their advertising and other corporate behavior to adapt to local laws. Experts say that Internet companies such as Microsoft are often flashpoints for controversy because their products are linked to free speech issues and many rules governing blogs and electronic speech are evolving.
"There's a spectrum here," said Jonathan Zittrain, co-founder of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, and an author of a recent study on Internet censorship in China. "It's one thing to provide a regime with steel, another to provide bullets, and another to serve as the executioner."
Officials with the Redmond, Wash. company argue that the software giant is only following local laws and that any disadvantage is outweighed by benefits users get from the software giant's services.
"Even with the filters, we're helping millions of people communicate, share stories, share photographs and build relationships," said Adam Sohn, Microsoft's global sales and marketing director. "For us, that is the key point here."
Company product manager Brooke Richardson told the Los Angeles Times that "MSN abides by the laws, regulations and norms of each country in which it operates."
Microsoft points out that filtering objectionable words is nothing new. Even in the United States, the company prevents several words from being used in titles, including "whore" and "pornography."
Yahoo and Google, two other large technology firms, have had to limit their search results in France and Germany, where Nazi propaganda and memorabilia are banned.
In China, computers users often find that filters on Yahoo and other search engines prevent them from accessing pages on topics deemed sensitive by the Communist Party.
Human rights groups, including Reporters Without Borders, say Microsoft is sacrificing free speech principles in its headlong quest for profits and that the company should follow a higher standard.
"No one should break the law, but at the same time we all believe in universal values," said Julien Pain, head of the group's Internet monitoring group. "If China required underage children to work, would you do it? Free speech is not an American value or a French value. It's a human value."
It's natural for companies to adjust their practices in foreign countries to get profits," he said. "As they say in politics, there are no permanent friends, just permanent interests."

PHILADELPHIA - It's hard to predict them in the course of a 162-game season with countless hot streaks and slumps, but every now and then, there's a mismatch sticking out like a flare shooting up through the woods.
Nothing in the Nationals' past against the Phillies suggested they were likely to win on Thursday and avoid a sweep. They'd won just nine of their last 38 in Citizens Bank Park. Their starting pitcher, John Lannan, was 0-9 against them in his career. And opposing him was Roy Halladay, the 2010 NL Cy Young Award winner who'd allowed three runs against the Nationals in four starts since coming to Philadelphia.
The Nationals tried to fight the obvious. They held an impromptu, closed-door meeting for their struggling hitters before Thursday's game. They tagged Halladay for four hits in the fourth inning, with Jerry Hairston Jr. fouling off eight balls in a 13-pitch at-bat before driving in their second run of the night.
But in the end, the game took its obvious path: Halladay shut the Nationals down, Lannan got bounced early and the Phillies beat the Nationals 7-3.
The Nationals fell to 14-17 on their way to Florida, where they'll face a Marlins team that's gone 41-15 against them the last three years. They've won just six of 18 games in their division, and by the time they return home from a nine-game road trip, their record could be in trouble if they don't pull things together.
"We can't do anything about the last three days," Hairston said. "We know the Marlins are playing extremely well, and hopefully (we'll) put ourselves in position to win games. If we do that, we should be fine."
The Nationals can live with losing to Halladay; they're hardly the only team he's dominated, and Hairston, who's faced 826 pitchers in his career, called the Phillies right-hander the best he's ever seen.
"You hate to give a guy praise like that," Hairston said. "But you don't know what he's going to throw. Sometimes, you think it's going to sink and it cuts. Sometimes, it (sinks) when you think it's going to (cut). And then he's got a slow curveball to keep guys off-balance."
Lannan's struggles, though, are another matter. He made it through just two innings on Thursday, pitching to six batters in the third and snapping the Nationals' 30-game streak where a starter had gone at least five innings. In 13 career games against them, he's 0-10 with a 6.44 ERA.
Asked if he would consider setting up his rotation in the future so Lannan could avoid the Phillies, manager Jim Riggleman said that would probably affect other pitchers too much. The Nationals play the Phillies 18 times a year, so there's not much Lannan can do but go after them.
"Whatever it is with him and the Phillies - I don't know what that is now, 0-10 or something - that's too much for the quality of stuff that John has," Riggleman said. "As much as he's going to see the Phillies in this division, we've just got to be better than that."
The Phillies didn't have two hitters who have done the most damage against Lannan in the past; Chase Utley is still on the disabled list and Jayson Werth is in a Nationals uniform. But Raul Ibanez, who awoke from an 0-for-35 slump to thrash the Nationals like he's done for three years, doubled off Lannan in the third; he's now 11-for-20 lifetime against Lannan with a 1.640 OPS. Placido Polanco is 6-for-12 against him, and Shane Victorino, whose .333 career average against Lannan is modest by comparison, hit a two-run homer off him in the third inning.
Lannan said he doesn't get nervous or change his approach against the Phillies. "Maybe a couple years ago, I probably did, but not anymore," he said. But after getting through two scoreless innings, he let the ball start floating up in the zone, and got hammered.
"I just didn't have the life (on my pitches)," Lannan said. "It was just one of those days."
And in the course of a long season, it was one of those obvious mismatches.

I'm still planning my movements for that period. It's a really busy time for me. I'm really trying to ensure I am there, at least for the Hackathon.

A new poll says most Americans expect Republicans to re-claim the White House in the 2012 election, though that's mostly because of Republicans.
Overall, 55% of Americans expect a Republican to defeat President Obama, according to the Washington Post-ABC News poll. Only 37% predict President Obama will win re-election.
Of course, Republicans are more confident -- 83% are confident of a GOP victory in 2012.
But 58% of Democrats expect Obama to win a second term, the poll said.
Here is the Washington Post's take:
Republicans are overwhelmingly confident about taking back the White House in 2012, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Democrats are less sure that their guy has another big win in him.
Overall, 55 percent of Americans expect a Republican victory next year. Fewer, 37 percent, predict that President Obama will win re-election. A majority of independents sense that the GOP nominee will prevail, but there is a gaping difference between party loyalists.
Fully 83 percent of Republicans say the GOP nominee -- whoever he or she may be -- is likely to claim the presidency next year. Among Democrats, far fewer, 58 percent, say they think Obama will win a second term. A third of Democrats expect a GOP win; just 13 percent of Republicans sense a repeat for Obama.
Republicans who "strongly support" the tea party political movement are particularly confident: 91 percent of these Republicans say they think the GOP candidate will win the general election.
