service records rarely contain family information. Pension application files
generally are most useful to those who are doing genealogical research and contain
the most complete information regarding a man's military career. We suggest
that you first request copies of a man's pension file. You should request
copies of a bounty-land warrant file or a miliary record only when no pension
file exists. Revolutionary War service records have been consolidated with
pension application papers and bounty-land warrant applications. You can get
both by imply requesting the pension file only."
You need to have National Archives Trust Fund Board (NATF) Form 80 to get this information. These forms are available at any National Archives for free and by visiting their site, you can learn how to order the form by mail.

Process Implanting: A New Active Introspection Framework for Virtualization
Previous research on virtual machine introspection proposed "Out-of-box" approach by moving out security tools from the guest operating system. However, compared to the traditional "In-the-box" approach, it remains a challenge to obtain a complete semantic view due to the semantic gap between the guest VM and the hypervisor. In this paper, the authors present Process Implanting, a new active VM introspection framework, to narrow the semantic gap by implanting a process from the host into the guest VM and executing it under the cover of an existing running process. With the protection and coordination from the hypervisor, the implanted process can run with a degree of steal-thiness and exit gracefully without leaving negative impact on the guest operating system.

text: If anything binds the tangle of styles that rock Orjan Nilsen's productions it's energy, and there's plenty of that served on his newest production. The second single of his upcoming album is the shiny, big-room loaded 'Violetta'! Hot off the dark-shaded 'No Saint Out Of Me', the Norwegian producer sets the tone with another 7 minute work of art. The pre-taste of what awaits us of his second artist album, the follow-up to the successful 'In My Opinion', is more than promising. It's unlike any of his previous works, yet carries that unmistakable Nilsen sound. Building at a right speed, rapidly unfolding its melodic character and kicking in right after its break. That's what 'Violetta' is all about. Another tune that deserves the Armind halo on top. 'Violetta' is available exclusively on Beatport for the next two weeks, then on all other portals on May 20th.

A space for robots
US can lead in daring missions - without humans
WITH THE official end of the shuttle program rapidly approaching, America is suffering from a space identity crisis.
The shuttle missions began 30 years ago, when Columbia first ascended from the Kennedy Space Center. The launch marked a dramatic return of national confidence, in the wake of the humiliating Iranian hostage crisis and the assassination attempt on President Reagan.
Now that the shuttle Atlantis is bringing the program to a close, the symbolism would seem equally apt. We live in a time of retrenchment and diminished expectations. We're mired in ferociously expensive foreign wars, our public schools are sub-par, and our leaders can't even agree on a national budget. It's perhaps fitting that we can no longer say that our astronauts will soar above the planet, the continents slowly wheeling by.
But the United States can lead in space, exploring and inspiring, without the crushing expense of a program like the shuttle. We just need to embrace the era of robots.
For decades, there has been a cynical calculation behind the space program: astronauts inspire, but unmanned satellites do the actual discovering. It's hard to beat the drama of a man or woman blasting off into the unknown, just as it can be difficult to convey the interest of scientific instruments. The exploits of the astronaut corps - and their genuine bravery - are what drew the public's interest, and Congress's financial support.
This calculation has been upended by time and technology. Manned space flight has become more routine, and public fascination with the shuttle has waned in recent years. At the same time, relentless technical innovation has given unmanned craft the power to not just discover, but to inspire and awe.
In 1997, a little rover named Sojourner captured the country's imagination when it reached Mars, making an unlikely landing on a ball of airbags, and bouncing to a stop on the rocky surface. Later, the petals of a hard shell opened, and the six-wheeled explorer rolled out to see what it could see.
In 2004, the rovers Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars and began a long, self-propelled amble. The rovers confirmed that water once flowed there, establishing that Mars may have hosted life. They also proved that engineers can design robots with enough smarts to pick through an alien landscape, following only broad brush directions from mission control.
And they showed that a scientific instrument could be endearing. The rovers were the original WALL-E.
Other missions have been judged wild successes, by scientists and citizens, without the charisma of an astronaut or even a rover. The Hubble Space Telescope has captured many astounding images over the years, but few compare with the gorgeous star "nursery,'' with its delicate pillars of gas and a visceral sense that something momentous - some would say spiritual - had been captured in the frame.
More recently, there is the story of the quest to find life elsewhere in the universe, which has achieved a new level of seriousness.
Earlier this year, NASA's Kepler satellite discovered over 1,200 possible planets orbiting other suns. In the next few years, scientists will likely find a planet like Earth - a small rocky world, circling in the so-called "habitable zone'' where moderate temperatures support liquid water.
The case has recently grown stronger for liquid water on Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, and Jupiter's Europa has long been suspected of holding water.
A large rover, Curiosity, is scheduled to launch later this year, looking for signs of life on Mars. But why not send a rover to Enceladus, and a submarine to Europa? New technology, developed in part for warfare in extreme terrains, can be adapted for a new generation of space robots.
The space program does not find itself at a grim moment, but an amazing one. We don't need astronauts on board for a mission to be worthy or dramatic. There are other ways to be daring.
Correction: In last week's column on the psychology of liberal values, I misstated when John Stuart Mill lived. He was a philosopher in the 19th century.

Nobody will say it. Nobody wants to say it. Nobody wants it to be true. But it's time to face the fact that we may never see Brian Roberts play meaningful time for the Orioles again.
He hasn't played even more than 59 games in the last two seasons and his injuries, now concussion-related, have seemed to linger longer as he gets older. The odds of him playing more than half a season for Baltimore again seem slim with only two seasons left on his contract.
So as his playing career in Baltimore comes to a close, it's time to assess his place in Oriole history. In my estimation, you can certainly make the argument that he is the greatest second baseman to ever don the orange and black. He is among a group of four candidates for the title: Bobby Grich, Davey Johnson, Rich Dauer and Brian Roberts. Dauer was a very good second baseman and played the position for Baltimore for many years but he was not the offensive player that the other three were. Grich would probably hold that title easily, but he signed with the Angels after his seventh season with Baltimore and just did not play long enough for the club. Johnson spent parts of eight seasons with Baltimore but the best years of his career came after he left for Atlanta. Roberts' resume stacks up better than any of them.
He has played the most games at second than any other player at Baltimore history and leads them all in hits, runs, doubles, triples, home runs, walks, batting average, slugging and stolen bases. (Roberts' 274 stolen bases are second in team history and if he ever does make it back on the field, he has a good shot at passing Brady Anderson's team record of 307.)
Roberts also owns the finest offensive season from a second baseman in Orioles history. Seemingly out of nowhere, Roberts broke out of the gate in 2005, hitting .314 and slugging .515, making his first All-Star game and cementing his status as one of the game's best leadoff hitters. Even though Roberts had led the league with 50 doubles the season before, this type of offensive effort seemed unlikely from a guy who had been battling desperately with Jerry Hairston Jr. for playing time just a couple of seasons prior.
Roberts was an amazing baserunner and I'm not just talking about the number of bases he stole. He stole those 274 bases at an 80 percent success rate, the highest success rate of any Oriole with 50 or more stolen bases. He was never reckless and always took calculated gambles on the basepaths. In 2009, when Roberts hit 56 doubles, he was criticized for not stretching more of those doubles into triples as he had done in previous years. But Roberts knew his speed was starting to fade a bit and he was not going to try to make triples out of doubles when he knew it was likely he would make an out. On top of the blazing speed, there was always calculation.
So remember what you saw because you are likely only going to see glimpses of it over the next two seasons. We witnessed the brilliant play of the best second baseman in Oriole history.

Believe it or not, Black Friday has already come and gone. Pretty soon the Christmas season will begin, and we'll mark this midwinter festival by getting together with friends and family and continuing to drink and eat far too much.
Meanwhile, we also buy gifts for those same friends and family members, whether they want them or not. Luckily, we're here to help, and if you follow our festive advice, your gifts just might make it into the "wanted" category.
From now until Christmas, Cult of Mac will be putting together holiday gift guys full of ideas for the special ones in your life, no matter what their interests or your budget. Today, we're looking at gifts for the whining kids in your life.
JLab Audio Bouncer — $130
Caution: Only buy this speaker if you are the uncle or other non-paternal relation of the target child. Why? Because if you live with the receiver of this 2×12-watt boombox you'll live to regret it.
The big loudspeaker is battery powered, so if you accidentally buy this for you son or daughter at least you can send them out into the street with it, and they can charge their cellphones from its USB port, so they don't even need to come home to do that.
Or you could just punch yourself in the face. It might be easier in the end.
Carbon One Fauxlaroid Camera — $125
This fake Polaroid will confuse the hell out of your kids. Why on Earth would a 5MP camera look like this? The camera is as basic as it gets, with fixed focus, AA batteries and a microSD slot for memory expansion. Still, it's darn cute, and you can always take ownership when the kids inevitably get bored with it and go back to their (probably superior) cellphone cameras.
TonePrint Pedal — $various.
This is a very neat gift if the receiver already has an iPhone. Buy them one of the compatible guitar effects pedals for around $130 and they can load in artist-designed presets just by holding their iPhone up to the guitar's pickup. There's a free companion app to manage downloads and do the beaming, and the whole lot should keep even the most ADD kid out of trouble for several minutes.
iPhone Skateback — $30
Kids love skateboards. And kids love phones. Ergo, kids must love old skateboard offcuts turned into iPhone backs.
Available for the iPhone 4/S and now the 5, the $40 plywood back uses removable adhesive to stay in place. It might be more suited to the delicate glass back of the 4/S, but the longer, slimmer iPhone 5 is mure skateboard shaped. Or whatever.
ECOXBT Waterproof Speaker — $129.
Like a Jambox, only cheaper, tougher and, uh, waterproof-er. The speaker comes in goth black (for your Emo son) or bright orange (for more outdoorsy types who don't want to lose the thing), and runs off a rechargeable li-ion battery.
U-Bling DIY iPhone Case — $30
The U-Bling case is like a miniature pixel-art kit for your kid (or actually, for anyone). The case has two parts, one of which is a grid of holes. Into these holes go colored "pops," or pixel pins, and with them you can create any design you like.
The second part of the case clips to the first to secure the pops in place, and a free app helps the lucky giftee to design their pictures. More colors can be ordered for when they're ready to create their pixellated masterwork.
Squier USB Stratocaster — $200
Buying an electric guitar for a noisy kid might seem like a terrible idea — unless you're an uncle and not a parent. But this Squier (Fender's cheap range) Stratocaster also comes with a USB port and cable, so it can be plugged direct into an iPhone or iPad, and listened too through headphones.
Thus, your little Yngwie J. Malmsteen can hammer aways at his strings and all you'll hear is an annoying but subdued tappity-tap.
Leatherman Raptor — $tba
Obviously any Leatherman tool is perfect for inquisitive, creative kids, but the Raptor is particularly good for children, especially those who are training in first aid. Here's the rundown of EMT-inspired tools:
- 420HC stainless steel cutting shears
- carbide glass breaker
- strap cutter
- 5 cm ruler
- ring cutter
- oxygen tank wrench
- lanyard hole
That ruler seems particularly handy for the classroom. What could go wrong?
Jlab Crasher Speaker — $100.
Noisy, brightly-colored, rugged and cheap — what's not to like about the JLab speaker? The battery lasts longer than most other Bluetooth speakers, and can be used to recharge your forgetful son/daughter's cellphone, so they have no excuse not to call you when they're running late.
Lunatik Chubby Stylus — $20
So, your four-year old has her own iPad, but her motor skills just aren't there yet. Help her through this difficult time with the Lunatik Chubby Stylus, a fat pen for the fat-fingered.
Be careful though — if your toddler has body-image issues, you might want to cover up the word "chubby" on the package.
Foosball Table For iPad — $100
(Probable) FACT: Foosball is named for the German Fußball (or Fussball), which just means "football."
OTHER (unchecked) FACT: Foosball aka Table Football (UK) aka futbolin (Spain) was invented — just like the mop bucket — in Catalonia, Spain.
(Actual, real) FACT: This foosball table connects via the iPad's 30-pin dock connector and lets you control the players with the spinny stick arms on the sides. You also get such niceties as instant replay, but there are no plastic wells in which to keep your glass of beer.
Toddler Lock Case — $30
ToddlerLock is the name of the company behind this case, and as a concept, locking toddlers seems like a good one. However, the case actually locks your iPhone — specifically, it covers the home button so that your rugrats can't stab their way out of the educational game you want them to play and into your poorly-hidden second web browser that you use just for porn.
There's also a (free) ToddlerLock app which throws up a fake home-screen that the kids can tap away at without ever deleting your home-banking app.

Boyata shocked to start
Dedryck Boyata has admitted he was shocked to be included in Man City's starting line up to face Chelsea.
Last Updated: 27/09/10 5:28pm
Manchester City defender Dedryck Boyata has admitted he was shocked to be included in the starting line up to face Chelsea.
The 19-year-old Belgian produced an impressive display as the City defence were able to nullify the attacking threats of the champions and gain a crucial win to rise to fourth in the table.
But it was a 1-0 victory he thought he would be watching at Eastlands.
"I didn't expect to play," he admitted. "Usually in the week we train with the starting XI and I was not in it.
"Then when I glanced up at the board to see who was in the actual side, I only saw the first two letters 'BO' and assumed Jerome Boateng was playing.
"It was only when it was actually read out that I realised it was me. I was quite shocked. I thought 'wow, it's me' but I had to stay focused because I knew how hard this game was going to be."
Boyata is no stranger to the big occasions, having played in the Carling Cup semi-final first-leg win against Manchester United last year, and he was delighted to test his skills against the Blues.
"I have seen those Chelsea guys on TV so often," he added.
"Even yesterday I was talking about them because they are such great players. But I also had a job to do, so I tackled hard when I had to.
"It was great to play against people like (Nicolas) Anelka and (Didier) Drogba and I have to thank the coach for giving me the chance to play against them."
Mancini focused
City boss Roberto Mancini's assertion that Chelsea would win the title before the game was met with some surprise but even after his team's shock win, he is still refusing to proclaim them as title contenders.
"We deserved to beat them," said the City boss.
"Our four defenders played like brothers. They were very compact and very strong on the ball against Malouda and Drogba. That is not easy.
"But I don't know if it keeps us in the title race. It is impossible for them to win every game.
"We have another 32 games to go, so must work and improve every week. This win will help us to do that."

When bigots search wildly for a "rationale" to deny same sex couples basic human rights they usually claim that children need both a mother and a father to succeed.
My father died when I was very young leaving my mother single and needing to care for four children. She never remarried. Of the four children in our family two have grown up to be medical doctors, one is a college professor, and the youngest will soon have a PhD. We are all in healthy, long-term relationships and my mother now has grandchildren. Both of the male children (of which I am one) are rather stereotypical guys. We somehow managed to figure out what being a guy was without a father at home explaining it to us. It's almost like there are other sources for this information.
So, on behalf of the offspring of single mothers I want to say fuck you to people who say I can't be healthy because I was raised without a father. It's important to note that there is one factor that confounds the bullshit bigots use to malign single parents, nontraditional families, etc. Single parent families are highly correlated with poverty. For this reason, we were lucky. My mother is a medical doctor who was able to provide for a five person family by herself. So I am aware that my experiences are not typical, but they do speak to the arguments that "every child needs a mother and a father" to succeed and be healthy. We can succeed just fine.
P.S. I am aware that this isn't the most important point. But this argument about needing a mother and a father is a slap to my mother's face. And it pisses me off every time I see it.

X Games: Moore dies from crash injuries
ASPEN, Colo., Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Caleb Moore died Thursday, one week after he was injured in a crash during a snowmobile freestyle run at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo., his family said.
Moore, 25, is the first competitor to die in the 17-year history of the Winter X Games.
In a statement, family spokeswoman Chelsea Lawson said Moore -- a four-time X Games medalist -- "will be truly missed and never forgotten."
"The family wishes to express their deep gratitude for all the prayers and support they have received from all the fans, friends and family around the world that Caleb has inspired," the statement said. "They would also like to thank the physicians and medical staff at both Aspen Valley Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital, Grand Junction for their care and dedication."
The statement said the family would not make any other public comments or give interviews.
"We are deeply saddened by Caleb Moore's passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to his parents, Wade and Michelle, his brother, Colten, and the entire Moore family," said ESPN, which hosts the X Games.
"He will be remembered for his natural passion for life and his deep love for his family and friends, and he will always be an inspiration to everyone he touched in the action sports community," the cable sports channel said in a statement.
"As a result of this accident we will conduct a thorough review of this discipline and adopt any appropriate changes to future X Games," the statement said."
Culliver apologizes for anti-gay comments
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver has apologized for homophobic remarks during an interview and acknowledged the comments were "hurtful and ugly."
Asked Tuesday if he thought any of his teammates were gay, Culliver said: "No, we don't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up out of here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff."
The question was asked by comedian Artie Lange during Media Day, the Los Angeles Times said, an opportunity for reporters to interview players in the Super Bowl.
Culliver apologized twice -- once in a statement released by the team Wednesday, and again Thursday as he spoke with reporters covering the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
"The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel. It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly," he said Wednesday. "Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience."
He told reporters Thursday "everyone is treated equally" in the 49ers locker room and said he has spoken with Coach Jim Harbaugh, teammates and 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke. Culliver said he had intended the comment to be funny, in keeping with the comic tone of Lange's interviews with players.
Harbaugh told reporters Thursday he does not believe "there was malice in [Culliver's] heart. "He's not that kind of person. He's not an ugly person, he's not a discriminating person," Harbaugh said.
"I think it took this incident, to hear those words being said by him, to see them written down on paper for him to realize they were hurtful and ugly and I think, I know, that he's taken that to heart," Harbaugh said.
"There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level," the 49ers said in a statement. "We have and always will proudly support the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community."
The 49ers in August were the first NFL team to release a video in support of the "It Gets Better" campaign, intended to encourage gay and lesbian teens cope with the effects of homophobia, USA Today noted.
Singh withdraws from Phoenix Open
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Vijay Singh, citing a back injury, withdrew Thursday before the start of the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open, one day after admitting he had used a banned substance.
Singh admitted in a statement Wednesday that he used deer antler spray but said he didn't know it contained a substance -- IGF-1 -- banned under the PGA Tour's Anti-Doping Policy.
PGA Tour players were told in 2011 that deer antler spray use was implicated in positive drug tests. Singh hasn't failed a drug test.
"I am absolutely shocked that deer antler spray may contain a banned substance and am angry that I have put myself in this position," Singh said in his statement.
Singh, 49, cited a back injury as the reason he was withdrawing from the Phoenix Open. He is still listed in the field for next week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in California.
He was one of the athletes from several sports implicated in a Sports Illustrated article about a company called S.W.A.T.S. -- Sports with Alternative to Steroids. The article alleged that Singh paid $9,000 for S.W.A.T.S. for deer antler spray and other products.
Among the other athletes mentioned in the Sports Illustrated article is Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who is to retire after Sunday's Super Bowl. Lewis referred to the allegations as "the work of the devil."
IGF-1 stands for insulin-like growth factor-1. It is believed to improves a user's endurance among other alleged benefits.
Magic's Davis fractures foot
NEW YORK, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Orlando Magic forward and co-captain Glen Davis fractured his left foot in the opening minutes of a game against the New York Knicks.
Davis suffered the injury Wednesday after appearing to step on another player's foot. He left the game and did not return to the Madison Square Garden floor, the Orlando Sentinel reported Thursday.
The Magic fell to the Knicks, 113-97.
The injury leaves a rebuilding team with a 14-31 record without its most effective low-post defender, the newspaper noted, adding Davis missed 11 games earlier in the season after he dislocated his left shoulder Dec. 19.
The Magic are 2-18 since Davis' shoulder injury.

text: Johannesburg - A City Press journalist escaped an attack by an armed man at his home in Mpumalanga, he said on Saturday.The publication's Mpumalanga bureau chief Sizwe Sama Yende said he arrived at his Nelspruit home at midnight on Friday when an armed man pounced on him."I opened the gate and I entered [the home]. As soon as I turned to close the sliding door this man was walking fast toward the door."He said 'stop what you're doing don't close the door'," Sama Yende told Sapa.Sama Yende managed to close the door and lift the handle to lock it. He then quickly slipped into a bedroom nearby.He called out to his wife and went to activate the security alarm.The man was trying to open the door but fled when the alarm went off.Sama Yende had been meeting a source for a story before the incident occurred.He said it was unclear whether the attack was related to work."Its difficult to say [whether it was work-related]. When I was speaking to my wife, she made a point that this person was alone."If it was somebody who wanted to steal something like the microwave or the television, there would have been more of them."Sama Yende said he did not want to speculate on the motive for the attempted attack.He said, however, that the "environment" in the province was not "conducive" to the practice of journalism."All I can tell you is that... as far as I'm concerned the environment is not conducive to the practice of journalism in Mpumalanga at the moment," he said, adding that sources feared talking to reporters in the light of day."I have to meet my sources late at night. Sources are not using their usual numbers because they believe they are being tracked."Sama Yende had reported the matter to police. A police spokesperson for the province was not immediately available to comment.Sunday Times journalist Mzilikazi Wa Afrika was arrested in Rosebank this week on charges of forgery and uttering and was released on R5000 bail at the Nelspruit Magistrate's Court on Friday.Reports had suggested Wa Afrika's arrest could be related to his being in possession of a resignation letter purportedly signed by the province's premier David Mabuza, but which the presidency declared a fake.He also co-wrote an article last Sunday on a R500m lease agreement for new police headquarters in Pretoria, which police commissioner General Bheki Cele allegedly signed without it going out to tender.

|AMP.NATSEM 34 – Modern Family – Media Release
Australian families are changing. So what does a modern Australian family look like today?
The modern family unit is complex and diverse. In the 34th AMP.NATSEM report we explore the changing shape of Australian families, with the traditional Mum, Dad and two children families sitting alongside blended, step and same-sex families. We look at how the make-up of families has changed over time and how we compare state-by-state and with other countries.
But, of course, family is what you make it. It's not defined necessarily by gender, or marriage or fertility. Family crosses the spectrum of society, in all its nuances and diversity and is determined by who you love, who you care for and a shared commitment to the future.

Tarullo to headline next M.M. Breakfast - Senate democrats press on cross-border swaps - Wetjen: Unclear if CFTC can finish in time - Egypt on the brink - Tracking stock for cash
BREAKING: TARULLO TO HEADLINE NEXT M.M. BREAKFAST — Very excited to announce that Federal Reserve Board Member Daniel K. Tarullo, the central bank's chief regulatory voice on Basel III and other critical issues, will headline the next POLITICO Morning Money Breakfast Briefing on July 15th in Washington, D.C.. Tarullo will discuss the current state of Dodd-Frank implementation, the Basell III rules adopted by the Fed just this week and possible further measures to enhance requirements for the nation's largest banks. … Tarullo will also discuss the Fed's monetary policy moves at this critical and unprecedented moment as the bank contemplates reducing its asset purchases as the economy slowly improves. Please join us for what should be a great discussion. More details to come next week.
FIRST LOOK: SENATE DEMS PRESS ON CROSS-BORDER SWAPS — POLITICO's Zachary Warmbrodt gets the scoop on a letter going to the CFTC and SEC today from Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and at least 12 other Democratic Senators saying the agencies' cross-border plans have significant problems. From the letter: "Unfortunately, the current proposals to implement these much-needed reforms fail to address a large and serious risk. …. Both of your agencies' proposals would allow U.S. firms to skirt the entire U.S.-based swaps regulatory regime (including any U.S. requirements for substituted compliance) simply by engaging in 'non-guaranteed' trading through foreign subsidiaries. … The history of the financial crisis tells us that drawing regulatory distinctions based on narrow criteria, including over what today is believed to be 'guaranteed' or not, is a recipe for creating, not reducing, systemic risk."
Story Continued Below
WETJEN: UNCLEAR IF CFTC CAN FINISH IN TIME — More form Warmbrodt: "CFTC Commissioner Mark Wetjen today cast doubt on whether the agency has enough time before a July 12 deadline to finish guidance for regulating cross-border derivatives under the 2010 Dodd-Frank law. 'I'm confident we can get to agreement on the guidance, but not sure we can accomplish that before July 12,' Wetjen told reporters. …
"According to sources familiar with the matter, commissioners just last night received a new draft of another exemptive order that outlines how to phase-in compliance with the cross-border regulations. Wetjen is one of two other Democrats on the commission whom Gensler will need the support of to finish the guidance."
TOP STORY: OBAMACARE EMPLOYER MANDATE DELAYED — POLITICO's Brett Norman and Jennifer Haberkorn: "The Obama administration is postponing the federal health care law's insurance mandate for employers next year, in a major concession to the business community and lawmakers who have become increasingly vocal about the law's potential to damage a slowly recovering economy.
The announcement doesn't affect the main coverage tools in the law — the individual mandate and the new subsidized insurance markets. But it could boost the cost of the law if more people end up seeking subsidies instead of getting covered on the job.
"The delay … is at least partial proof of what Republicans have been predicting for months: that the health law is way too complex to be ready to go live in 2014. And that's a message that may well resonate all through next year — including the 2014 midterm elections. … Speaker John Boehner's press secretary Brendan Buck tweeted simply: 'Obamacare. Such a train wreck.' 'Absolutely thrilled by #ObamaCare delay,' Republican operative Brad Dayspring tweeted. 'Will help #GOP candidates across the board in 2014. Debate will be a repeat of 2010.' http://goo.gl/T0tR4
WHITE HOSUE ON THE CHANGE – White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett in a blog post: "From the start, this Administration has encouraged an ongoing dialogue with the leaders of our nation's businesses, large and small. … In our ongoing discussions with businesses we have heard that you need the time to get this right. We are listening. So in response to your concerns, we are making two changes. First, we are cutting red tape and simplifying the reporting process. …
"Second, we are giving businesses more time to comply. As we make these changes, we believe we need to give employers more time to comply with the new rules. Since employer responsibility payments can only be assessed based on this new reporting, payments won't be collected for 2014. This allows employers the time to test the new reporting systems and make any necessary adaptations to their health benefits while staying the course toward making health coverage more affordable and accessible for their workers." http://goo.gl/94iXf
MORE GOP REACT – Per House Ways & Means spokeswoman Sarah Swinehart: "The Obama Administration's decision to give corporate America a free pass on the employer mandate while continuing to force average, everyday Americans to abide by the law is deeply disturbing … The Administration's decision is an admission that this law is a failure and that we still need to lower the cost of healthcare for all Americans — which this job-killing law fails to do."

EGYPT ON THE BRINK — Cumberland Advisors' Chief Global Economist Bill Witherell: "A year of incompetent and divisive government under President Mohamed Morsi and his backers, the Muslim Brotherhood, has led to massive and increasingly violent protests calling for the president's resignation. The economy is in dire shape with high unemployment, electricity blackouts, and very low foreign exchange reserves. … It is evident the Army will not follow any orders to suppress the protests.
"And the police would be unlikely to do so without the Army's support. … Should the military intervene, violent resistance by pro-Morsi Islamists could well develop. … The threat of increased political instability in the most important Arab country in the region is great. While Egypt's economy is of minor significance to the global economy and capital markets, these developments are of considerable geopolitical importance for the Middle East and North Africa"
MORSI DEFIANT — Reuters/Cairo: "Mursi vowed to stay in power and defend constitutional legitimacy on Wednesday as generals worked on plans to push the Islamist aside within the day … In a defiant midnight television address responding to military demands that he share power with his opponents or see the army impose its own solution, Mursi warned that any deviation from the democratic order approved in a series of votes last year would lead Egypt down a dangerous path.
"He was speaking as vast crowds of protesters rallied in central Cairo and across the nation to demand the Muslim Brotherhood politician's resignation in a third night of mass demonstrations. His supporters also turned out and some were involved in clashes with security forces at Cairo University." http://goo.gl/pSorx
OIL RISES — Bloomberg: "Crude oil rallied above $100 a barrel for the first time in nine months on political turmoil in Egypt and shrinking U.S. stockpiles. …West Texas Intermediate Crude surged 2.4 percent to $101.92 a barrel by 12:08 p.m. in Tokyo, set to close at a 14-month high. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of equities slid 1.2 percent, ending the longest run of gains since April." http://goo.gl/LqAJR
U.S. LESS WORRIED ABOUT OIL PRICES — WSJ's Chip Cummins and Russell Gold: "Growing North American oil supplies promise to bolster U.S. energy security, but they already are helping deliver a more global benefit: stable oil prices. Among the beneficiaries of that are policy makers in Washington, who have less need to worry about the market impact of decisions they make. … Crude prices have remained remarkably stable over the past year in the face of a long list of supply disruptions, from Nigerian oil theft and Syrian civil war to an export standoff between Sudan and South Sudan.
"The reason in large part is a thick new blanket of North American oil cushioning the markets. … The new supply isn't yet pushing prices lower, and analysts differ over whether it will. But it is acting as a shock absorber in a global supply chain that pumps 88 million barrels of oil to consumers each day." http://goo.gl/1hTEX
THE BIG (SARCASTIC) IDEA: TRACKING STOCK FOR CASH – Reuters' BreakingViews' Peter Thal Larsen: "A virtual currency fund IPO means there will now be an index tracker for almost everything. Except that financial engineers have ignored the most important asset class of all. No more. Say hello to the Breakingviews Dollar Trust. It makes holding cash as easy as trading a stock." http://goo.gl/cJgIz
BIG WIN FOR MORTGAGE INDUSTRY — Compass Point's Isaac Boltansky and Kevin Barker: "The story of the day from our perspective is that the Fed … decided against instituting new mortgage risk-weightings. … [T]he final capital rules simply re-embrace the existing general risk-based capital rules. In our view, the mortgage industry fared incredibly well in the final Basel III rulemaking … The difference between the proposed and final mortgage risk-weightings is meaningful and should provide an incremental tailwind to the tier 1common equity ratio of a number of banks.
SMALL BANKS WIN CONCESSIONS — American Banker's Donna Borak: "Community bankers emerged victorious Tuesday after regulators made a number of key changes to a final package of Basel III capital rules in an effort to address smaller institutions' concerns. But the biggest banks, in contrast, fared far worse, as regulators warned they are preparing to raise the leverage ratio for globally systemically important institutions and take other steps to rein in such behemoths. …
"Regulators agreed to a number of significant changes that were specifically tailored for community banks. … [S]maller institutions could continue to keep the current risk weights for residential mortgage loans in two categories until other mortgage-related rules were finished. Regulators also agreed to allow banks with less than $15 billion of assets to grandfather trust-preferred securities as part of their Tier 1 capital."
MORE ACTION NEEDED — WSJ's Michael R. Crittenden and Dan Fitzpatrick: "Financial regulators … stated explicitly what they have been signaling for months: More action is needed to reduce risks posed by the nation's largest banks to the broader economy. .. While many of the details remain to be decided, officials said they plan to act in the coming months on four proposals aimed at the eight banks dubbed globally
'systemically important,' … Regulators are expected to raise the amount of equity these large banks hold against assets to between 5 percent and 6 percent, above a previously proposed 3 percent.
… 'This is…really the beginning, or the framework, in which more will be done to strengthen our largest and most internationally active banks,' Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said. …
"In addition to raising the leverage ratio, regulators in the coming months will propose requiring these banks to hold a minimum amount of long-term debt, move to implement an internationally agreed upon surcharge and consider whether to require banks to hold more capital for relying on volatile forms of short-term funding. The latter issue has been of particular concern to officials because of the role short-term-funding markets played in the financial crisis. The plans underscore the Fed's approach to compelling the largest banks to trim their reach and complexity." http://goo.gl/6rGh6
Sheila C. Bair, chair of the Systemic Risk Council and former chair of the FDIC: "We continue to believe that a stronger leverage ratio — and meaningful long-term debt issuance — are essential to reducing the risks posed by these large".
CBA CEO Richard Hunt: "CBA is pleased the Fed addressed our concerns regarding the complex residential mortgage risk-weighing calculations in their original proposal. In today's economic environment, staying with current capital requirements for mortgages will help ensure consumers have access to affordable home loans and home equity products."
ABA CEO Frank Keating: "We appreciate regulators' efforts to create a rule that focuses on adequate amounts of high-quality capital, which is really what Basel III is all about. While today's rule brings us closer to achieving that goal, it's clear that finalizing optimal capital rules for bank customers and our economy will require continued work …
We strongly support legislation introduced in the House and Senate that would require a comprehensive economic analysis of the rule's impact …before it goes into effect."
Mortgage Bankers Assoc. CEO David H. Stevens: "We are pleased the final rule does not increase the risk-based capital requirements for the over $800 billion in mortgages secured by commercial real estate and for most loans secured by single-family mortgages held in banks' portfolios. However, provisions addressing mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and warehouse lines of credit are particularly problematic."
LERNER DEMANDS IMMUNITY – POLITICO's Rachael Bade and John Bresnahan: "Embattled IRS official Lois Lerner will not testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee unless she's given immunity from prosecution, her lawyer told POLITICO … 'They can obtain her testimony tomorrow by doing it the easy way … immunity,' William W. Taylor III said in a phone interview. 'That's the way to resolve all of this.' The comments reflect the hard-line approach Lerner, the former head of the IRS division that scrutinized conservative groups, and her legal team are taking in defending her role in the agency's scandal. … 'The committee is entitled to Ms. Lerner's full and truthful testimony without further conditions,' said panel spokesman Frederick Hill in a statement to POLITICO. 'If, however, Ms. Lerner's attorney is interested in discussing limited immunity, the committee will listen.'" http://goo.gl/a1HUA
NY PROSECUTOR TARGETS EMPLOYERS' PAY PRACTICES — NYT's Jessica Silver-Greenberg: "New York's top prosecutor is investigating some of the state's largest employers over their use of A.T.M.-style cards to pay their hourly employees. The New York attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, has sent letters seeking information to about 20 employers, including McDonald's, Walgreen and Wal-Mart … The inquiry by Mr. Schneiderman comes as a growing number of companies are abandoning paper paychecks and direct deposit to offer prepaid cards. But consumer lawyers, employees, and state and federal regulators have said that in the vast majority of cases, use of the cards can generate a range of fees — 50 cents for a balance inquiry and $2.25 for an out-of-network A.T.M. Those fees can quickly devour the pay of part-time and low-wage workers." http://goo.gl/sbH5U

So a lot of people have been criticizing Sony's PSP software lineup for being basically ports of the home console version. But, obviously in a video shown in another thread, all the fans want the PSP2 to have ports of the home console versions.
So, just once and for all, what exactly are you looking for in terms of the games for the PSP2? New IPs? Or Console games on the portable?

Why not both?
Despite some complaining about Sony showing only console ports, there were some new IPs shown. There was Gravity Daze, Reality Fighters, Smart As, Broken and Little Deviants.
It's also not like the 3DS has been immune to getting a lot of console ports, nor has there been a lot of new IPs announced for it yet.
I think those complaining should reserve judgment until after E3(haven't really seen anyone on this forum complaining about it). The purpose of this meeting was to show off the hardware and what the PSP2 can do, they just happen to need some software to do so. What better games to show off what the PSP2 can do than the best looking games on the PS3?
01-29-2011 #3
Well the reason why not both is because most publishers are not dedicated to the resources required to do both. Also, doing both would feed both sides of the trolls. For example, with the PSP2 announcement where they basically showed half console portable games and half new IPs, and we have a bunch of people who are complaining that they want more console ports and a bunch of people who are complaining that it's all console ports.
I think maybe some sort of focus is a bit better. But obviously this is just me trying to spark a discussion. Which would people rather have?
P.S. Invisible Walls basically downplayed the PSP2 by making fun of its name, over-estimating the price, downplay all the tech or didn't mention some, and made a lot of pure guesses that they just assumed were true that put down the NGP. Followed that up with a hands on about how awesome the 3DS is. Anyways..just a warning before people watch.
01-29-2011 #4
I'm looking for both. A mix of variants on existing games and new developments have been a traditional mainstay on every successful handheld.
That said one of the things that made the 'ports' less desirable on the PSP was that we didn't have 2nd nub/stick for camera view movement - sure some of the games used shoulder buttons for this, but when limited to two shoulder buttons, this consumes them. I can't stand relying on the game char's movement to change my camera view.

I've wanted to be a voice actor as long as I can remember, I have a deeper voice and I would probably sound good as a villain but that is not all I can do.

Evil Genius
A tongue-in-cheek take on the 60s spy thriller genre, Evil Genius offers you the chance to be the villain and control a secret island fortress complete with powerful (and strangely dressed) henchmen, mindlessly loyal minions, and a wide range of interesting gizmos. Experience all the everyday tasks of the megalomaniac as you build a secret base, train minions, set clever traps, complete daring missions, torture captives, and develop evil superweapons. Defend your base against attacks by obnoxious action heroes and overdressed government agents.

Merry Christmas from McDonalds. Your gift? The early release of the McRib sandwich: December 17, just days before the end of the world on the 21st. Thank goodness for small indulgences before the apocalypse.
It's not often that a sandwich achieves cult status, with fans drooling over its release date like it's the new record from the world's biggest rock band. But here we are in 2012, and the McRib's followers are as devout as ever.
Here are some other famous cults, you know, to help you get into the holiday spirit. Help us decide which one JACK FM should join next.

European Fish Weeks: End Overfishing or Fishing Will be Over
High time to recover the well-being of our seas and dependent fishing communities
Ending Overfishing
Europe's fishing grounds were once among the most productive in the world. But poor management has resulted in serious depletion of fish populations, ecosystem degradation and damage to species, habitats and sites protected by EU environmental legislation. Fishing has become unsustainable, increasingly unprofitable and reliant on public subsidies. This in turn has led to deprivation in coastal communities and an ever growing reliance on imported fish.
European Fish Weeks – End overfishing or fishing will be over
This summer, European Fish Weeks run from World Oceans Day, June 8 to August 31, with awareness-raising activities across Europe, such as learning a new sustainable fish recipe with a celebrity chef in Spain, or joining a 14-day walk along the Polish coast which the Polish President is expected to attend. They provide European citizens with opportunities to communicate clearly that we must end overfishing or fishing will be over. Across Europe, citizens will participate in activities, and make their voices heard. Politicians are responsible for making the decisions that will end overfishing; citizens are responsible for encouraging and supporting them to make the right choices.
Create a human fish shape to make your voice heard
In addition to attending OCEAN2012 awareness-raising events, Europeans can also organise their own event and create a human fish shape to visualize their call to end overfishing. There is a prize for the most inventive fish shape.
Download the fish shape and description and embed the widget to spread the word.
Upload the photo to the Flickr pool.
OCEAN2012 is an alliance of over 160 organisations dedicated to putting an end to overfishing in the European Union. OCEAN2012 was initiated, and is coordinated, by the Pew Environment Group.
OCEAN2012 is working for an EU Common Fisheries Policy that:
- enshrines environmental sustainability as the over-arching principle, without which economic and social sustainability is unobtainable;
- ensures decisions are taken at the most appropriate levels and in a transparent way, ensuring effective participation of stakeholders;
- delivers sustainable fishing capacity at EU and regional level;
- makes access to fisheries resources conditional on environmental and social criteria; and
- ensures public funds are only used in a way that serves the public good and alleviates social impacts in the transition to sustainable fisheries.

The Cooperative Movement and the Agricultural Cooperatives in the Context of Globalization
Following a short review of the major trends that characterize the globalization process at the economic, political-ideological and socio-cultural levels, this article takes a look at the rationality of agricultural cooperatives and reflects on the effects of globalization. Understanding globalization as a dialectical process, my reflection will draw on the effects of globalization on cooperatives, in particular agricultural ones. I am referring to the threats, challenges and opportunities brought about by globalization. This means evaluating the threats and opportunities that result essentially from increased competition, trade liberalization and changes in the role of the Nation-sates. The article ends with some conclusive remarks.

We Trust in the Name of the Lord our God
By Crossmap , dailyqt.crossmap.com |
We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests. Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (Psalms 20:5-7)
