Holden has built a strong base with its Astra, Barina and to a lesser extent, Vectra, all from General Motors' Opel subsidiary in Germany.
For the first time since the 1960s Asian small cars no longer have a mortgage on middle Australia.
The latest sales figures show that to the end of October, Toyota sold 24,814 Corollas, while Holden sold only about 1,500 fewer Astras, at 23,477.
But Holden also sold 6,262 Barinas, 4,579 four-cylinder Vectras and 1,763 Vectras.
The Barina outsold Toyota's mainstay small car, the Echo, admittedly by a small margin of 675.
Back in the days when Japanese car makers were treated as something of a joke, the only serious small cars in Australia came from the UK and Europe.
But rapidly improved Japanese engineering, "extras" being provided as part of the standard package and cut-throat pricing spelled the end for brands such as the Mini, Ford Escort, VW Beetle, Renault's R cars and the Golf.
Korean brands followed the same strategy and sales trajectory during the 1990s.
It now looks as if the noughties may favour Europe.
Holden will soon build on the success of its small car catalogue by expanding it with genuinely sporting versions of the Astra and Barina, and a lavishly-equipped and trimmed convertible version of the Astra. The latter won't swamp the market at $45,000, but the Bertone-styled vehicle will certainly be noticed.
The new Barina SRi has a 1.8-litre, twin-cam engine in place of the standard car's 1.4-litre, and a body kit from noted German design company, Irmscher.
The engine was developed in Australia for Opel by Holden Powertrain Engineering, and is being used in Europe, Asia, South Africa and South America. The SRi costs $20,990.
Also fresh on the market is the Astra SRi three-door; again, engine capacity has been increased, this time to 2.2-litres with a healthy output of 108kW.
The car comes with such nice add-ons as a similar body kit to the Barina, cruise control, air-conditioning and 16-inch alloy wheels, for $28,065.
Holden's inroads in the small car market will be further strengthened by these image-enhancing additions, in much the same way that sporty Corollas did the job for Toyota and turbo-Lasers did for Ford.
Toyota must be wondering from where the next challenge will come. After all, it has just emerged from a major battle with the Koreans which waged through the latter end of the 1990s.
Back in 1997 Hyundai sold 38,489 Excels and this increased to the model's peak in 1998 of just over 44,000. It was king of the heap.
In that year, Toyota sold 25,000 Corollas and 16,000 Starlets, while Ford also on a Korean roll with a cosy supply deal from Korean maker, Kia did 20,000 Festivas. Holden battled along with just over 8,000 Barinas at a time when it was sometimes referred to as the Commodore Car Company.
But the Hyundai bubble was, if not bursting, at least deflating, on the back of a Korean economy that was in danger of imploding and a damaging recall in Australia and elsewhere over front suspension faults.
Hyundai Excel sales dropped to 15,000 last year, but the introduction of the much superior Accent model has provided a welcome boost, with the same number having been sold in 10 months this year.
Holden's success appears to be a combination of an increasing range of attractive vehicles, careful planning to get the right specifications and equipment for the Australian market (there is a Melbourne-based division of GM which does this for the Asian area), a strong dealer network, and above all, sharp pricing.
Toyota will need all of Japan's formidable skills to meet this latest challenge, while the Korean makers, still battling their way back from the country's economic woes, have an even tougher row to hoe.

Dentons wins Diversity Law Firm of the Year in Australia
Dentons' diversity achievements have again been recognised with the Firm awarded Diversity Law Firm of the Year at the Lawyers Weekly Women in Law Awards 2017.
This law adds a number of provisions and inter alia makes changes to the rules regarding transaction approval, legally significant notifications, transaction invalidity, resolutions of meetings, powers of attorney, statutes of limitation. On the whole, it is assumed that the changes are aimed at increasing the stability of relations between parties to civil transactions.
The law, with the exception of certain provisions, enters force on September 1, 2013.
The following are among the more significant changes/new rules connected with real estate:
This law enters force on October 1, 2013.
This law in part, further defines the term 'indivisible item', and sets forth that replacement of composite parts of an indivisible item with other composite parts does not incur the creation of a new item if the essential properties of the item remain the same. In addition, as a general rule, such an item may be foreclosed upon only as a whole. The law also establishes a new type of real property – a unified real estate complex – to which the rules on indivisible items will apply. This, in part, includes aggregates of linear facilities (railroads, electric power lines, pipelines, etc.). One of the conditions for an item to be deemed a unified real estate complex is registration of the title in the Unified State Registry of Rights (EGRP) to an aggregate of facilities as one real property.
This law enters force on August 7, 2013.
The law establishes liability for violation of laws on preservation of cultural heritage objects. It introduces additional grounds for liability, and also significantly increases the fines for violating preservation requirements and use and protection of cultural heritage objects. In part, these new grounds for liability include: violation of the regime for use of land within the territory of a cultural heritage objects (fine from 100,000 to 5,000,000 rubles); destruction of or damage to a cultural heritage objects (fine from 500,000 to 60,000,000 rubles); non-performance of obligations to cease works if an object that has the features of a cultural heritage objectsis discovered or works that, if performed, could worsen the condition of the cultural heritage objectsor destroy its integrity and security (fine from 200,000 to 5,000,000 rubles); failure to fulfill the orders of the state supervisory body for preservation, use, promotion, and state protection of cultural heritage objects (fine from 100,000 to 500,000 rubles).
Main changes:
This law establishes, up to December 31, 2017, a special procedure within RF regions in which the FIFA World Football Championship and FIFA Confederation Cup matches are to take place for seizure of land plots and/or real and/or other property located thereon for the siting of infrastructure facilities (including hotels, airports, roads, parking areas, health care infrastructure, etc.), as well as a special regime for the siting of advertising and the approval of town planning documentation and construction (an "accelerated" regime).
The statute of limitations for privatization of premises by small and medium-size businesses has been extended by two years (until July 1, 2015). The list of premises that can be bought out has also been expanded. The list now includes premises that have been leased as at July 1, 2013 for at least two years, and a condition for exercising the pre-emptive right to privatization – the limit on the area of the leased premises – has also been eliminated.
This law has amended the RF Housing Code with respect to the management of multi-unit apartment buildings. The main change is that it is no longer possible for the developer to enter into management agreements for multi-unit apartment buildings, which is still common practice. In addition, the law contains a number of changes concerning, in part, the procedure for conducting tenders for entering into such an agreement.
In implementing the changes to the RF Housing Code (see above), the Rules for the procedure of and standards for activities for the management of multi-unit apartment buildings (the "Rules") have been approved, which regulate the procedure of and standards for managing multi-unit apartment buildings, the professional fundamentals of management, and the relations between participants in this type of activity.
The Rules apply, in part, to developers that manage multi-unit apartment buildings prior to entering into an agreement for the management of the multi-unit apartment building with a management company, management companies, housing owners' partnerships (TSZh), or housing and housing/construction cooperatives (ZhK and ZkSK). Among the standards established by the law are: acceptance, storage, and issuance of technical documentation for the multi-unit apartment building, approval of the list of services and works for maintenance and repair of common property, and organizing the works and services set forth in the list. The Rules specifically regulate the procedure for compiling and approving the list of works and services to maintain the common property in a multi-unit apartment building, the procedure for organizing and performing emergency and dispatch services, and the procedures for transferring the technical documentation for a multi-unit apartment building in the event a decision is made by a general meeting to change the building management method.
This law, with the exception of certain provisions, enters force on January 1, 2014.
This law contains provisions aimed at increasing the transparency of projects using a concession agreement, and also adds to regulations on concession relations, first and foremost when implementing utility infrastructure projects. It regulates, for example, the mechanism for transferring ownership and/or lease rights to utility infrastructure facilities. It also establishes that long-term criteria for tariff regulation be implemented, and establishes the requirement that approval be received from the antimonopoly authority when making changes to a concession agreement related to utility infrastructure facilities. It is assumed that the changes connected with regulation of a utility infrastructure may make such projects more attractive and less risky for investors.
This decree establishes the fundamentals of price formation and rules for regulation of tariffs for water supply and removal, including long-term regulation. It envisages the adoption of other documents in its implementation, such as rules for establishing regulated tariffs, the list of criteria to be taken into account when adopting tariffs, etc.
Pursuant to the Decree, programs for the integrated development of utility infrastructure systems for settlements and urban units are to be developed by local government bodies based on the general plans of the settlement or urban unit, for a term of no less than 10 years and no greater than the effective term of the general plan.
This decree could create a foundation for more effective provision of utilities to the population, and may also be yet another step towards attracting private investment in the utilities sector.
If the decree is interpreted literally, it does not apply to Moscow or St. Petersburg, and its applicability to territories between settlements is also not unambiguous.
This Letter declares that state registration of the lease of part of a real property is possible only if such non-isolated part could be identified as an individually defined real property, i.e., if it has a separate purpose and is delimited by a construction structures. In other cases (for instance, if there is no delimiting construction structures), the lease is not registered.
It is not clear, however, whether registration is necessary for long-term lease of parking spaces that are located, for example, in underground parking areas. These are not delimited by construction structures, but still registered as separate real properties. It is also unclear to what extent this Letter calls into question the possibility of entering into short-term lease agreements (that do not require state registration) with respect to parts of premises that are not delimited by construction structures.
The Decree establishes a new procedure for licensing the operation of fire/explosion hazardous and chemically hazardous industrial facilities. A license is required to operate hazard class I, II, and III facilities. Some of the changes to the license requirements concern the applicant, while others affect the licensee. The Decree contains a specific list of works that require an authorizing document. As before, this is issued by Rostekhnadzor.
This letter explains the relationship between the concept of "especially hazardous, technically complex, or unique facilities" and "hazardous industrial facilities", as well as applying to them the reliability ratings for buildings and structures set forth in applicable law.
Gosstroy explained that the concept of "reliability ratings", according to applicable law, is applied to especially hazardous, technically complex, and unique facilities, i.e., to buildings and structures. At the same time, a "hazardous industrial facility", according to the law, is understood to mean a business, establishment, workshop, organization, etc., in an administrative sense, and not in a technical sense (a building or structure, etc.). Thus, not all buildings or structures located on the territory of a hazardous industrial facility (such as a factory) must be assigned a high reliability rating. Instead, this is only required if they are especially hazardous, technically complex, or unique.
Local-level changes (St. Petersburg)
It may be recalled that, as of July 1, 2012, the "discounted" procedure for buy-out of land plots by owners of buildings, structures, and constructions thereon ceased to be in effect. A consequence of this was an increase in the buy-out price to 100% of the cadastral value of the land plots, which in turn was reexamined in 2012 and in most cases increased significantly. This led to a drop in the number of companies wishing to buy out the land at such price. The new rules introduced by the law regarding setting the buy-out price may help to increase the demand, since it establishes a corrective (discount) coefficient for certain categories of land (in particular, the corrective coefficient for land plots that were granted for investment activities and on which prior to July 1, 2012 capital (permanent) structures were erected and operating, is 0.1 (previously 1, i.e., the price will decrease tenfold), and for sale to owners of other types of buildings, structures, or constructions is 0.25 (also previously 1, meaning a fourfold decrease).
This draft law defines the concepts of "unauthorized construction" and "unauthorized reconstruction". This differs from the current law, which only contains a definition of an "unauthorized structure". Thus, these definitions are new, but in essence are derived from the definition of "unauthorized structure".
The powers of the St. Petersburg Government include organizing the demolition of unauthorized structures and parts of constructed facilities that are the result of unauthorized reconstruction on land plots owned by St. Petersburg. It establishes that a construction permit is not required for: dismantling/demolishing unauthorized structures that are capital structures of less than three floors, without subsequent construction; dismantling the part of capital structures that came about through unauthorized reconstruction; dismantling/demolishing multi-unit apartment buildings that have been deemed dangerous and are slated for demolition, if no more than three floors, with the exception of buildings that are historic and cultural heritage objects or potential cultural heritage objects, without subsequent construction. Legalizing the dismantling of parts of capital structures avoids the entire capital structure having to be deemed an unauthorized structure after unauthorized reconstruction.
The Draft Law also sets forth a procedure and timeframe for publishing construction permits.
Court practice
This decree contains two important conclusions:
The Federal State Arbitration Court for the Northwest District confirmed the conclusions drawn by the State Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast in their consideration of an application from the Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service for St. Petersburg (UFAS).
The provisions of St. Petersburg law No. 282-43 of 17.06.2004 "On the procedure for granting real properties owned by St. Petersburg for constructionn and reconstruction" that establish the provision of real properties to strategic investors for a target purpose (without a tender) contradict antimonopoly law.

The trendy redo of the legendary Sahara hotel and casino — the SLS Las Vegas — is set to open on Labor Day weekend on the north end of the Strip.
sbe Entertainment Group, the company behind the legendary Abbey bar and club in West Hollywood and SLS hotels in L.A., New York, and Miami, poured $415 million to remake the Sahara, which will feature 60 restaurants and nightclubs, 1.600 rooms, 2,500 employees (they're hiring now!), and of course, a casino.
The SLS is set to do battle with the Strip's other youthful, hip property, The Cosmopolitan. The Cromwell, another new Vegas property that made over the old Bill's Gamblin' Hall also hopes to capture the hipster crowd and opens later this year.
The SLS Vegas will feature many L.A. touches, including Vegas versions of popular southern California restaurants like Griddle Cafe, Umami Burger, 800 Degrees, Katsuya, and a version of Los Angeles's Sayers Club. No word yet on whether the SLS will feature an LGBT-themed club night or pool party, as many other Vegas properties do.

DPP afraid of the truth, claim family of tragic teen Daniel Hegarty shot by soldier in 1972
The family of a Londonderry youth shot dead by a soldier during Operation Motorman in 1972 have said the prosecuting authorities "are afraid of the truth".
The family of Daniel Hegarty were speaking as they launched their latest attempt to overturn a decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) not to prosecute the soldier who shot their brother on July 31, 1972.
Daniel, who was 15 at the time, was shot dead by a soldier who later claimed he had acted in self-defence.
Daniel's sister Margaret Brady said: "I have always said I would see Daniel's case in court and I am determined to do that. I told the DPP when we met him that I would see him in court and if that is what it takes to get justice for my brother then so be it.
"The truth is staring them in the face and that is what they are trying to hide from - the truth.
"We cannot forget the past and for us the past is our present. They robbed my parents of their only son, they robbed us of our brother, they robbed him of his good name, and for the past 44 years they have been hiding from the truth."
Ms Brady hit out at politicians who she said were only interested in uncovering "their own injustices".
She said: "Sinn Fein and the rest of them all want justice for this or that of their own but when it comes to ordinary people they tell us to be quiet for the sake of the future.
"Well to us this is the past, the present and the future.
"We need justice for our brother, he was murdered that day and the soldiers lied and covered it up. We will not let it rest."
Margaret and sisters Philomena Conaghan and Kathleen Deveney have, through their solicitor Desmond Doherty, written to the DPP demanding a review of the decision not to prosecute.
In their letter they say that following a fresh inquest into the death, there was new evidence that should have been considered and that a review of the decision not to prosecute should be undertaken by someone other than the DPP.

My phone gave me the best notification this morning—the StarCraft remastered trailer was posted.
I spent most of the day out running errands and doing other things, but I wanted to post a bit about StarCraft.
The game that changed everything. I've loved this game, replayed it, and come back to it again and again. I haven't had time to finish the StarCraft II campaigns, but this is one of my absolute favorites. I've waited for years for Blizzard to officially announce the remastered edition. I can't wait. I hope they do a beautiful collector's edition. And it comes out in the summer when I'll actually have time! I can't wait to play through this whole story again.
It'll keep me busy for a long time. At least until WarCraft Remastered.
Daily Sketch Challenge
I watched the first episode of Tabletop's Mice and Mystics game while sketching this one. Really excited about the upcoming release!

An entrepreneur is a person who acts on a fresh idea and makes lost out of it.
Business franchising is thought to be a carefree type of business because the business model, the system of operations, and the consumer following have already been established for the franchisor. This common belief however is not as accurate as what most franchise proprietors have reported. There are If you think franchising a business is a walk in the park, think again. Review the potential disadvantages of franchising and reevaluate if franchising is for you.some franchise disadvantages that future franchisors should take note of prior to investing in a business franchise.
One of the most common disadvantages of franchise ownership is the extremely high cost of investing in a business franchise. Research have shown that the estimated cost of franchises nowadays range from fifty thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars. This amount still excludes the cost of the equipment, the rent of the space for the location, the purchase inventory, and the daily operations.
Aside from the initial cost, one of the many franchising disadvantages is having continuous royalty payments. When an individual buys a franchise, he/she actually invests on the brand of the company and what he/she bought are the rights to franchise the brand. Each franchise is then required to pay royalty to the owner of the brand being franchised.
Disadvantages of franchise buying include having a stringent set of rules and having a strict operation manual, which must be carried out as consistently as possible. These definite specifications from the franchise owner hinder personal preference changes of the franchisor in various aspects of the business such as in advertising, pricing, product list, and design of the brand among a few. The franchisor may find the franchise contract stipulations to be too limiting.
Another reported franchising disadvantage is the possibility of facing grave consequences when specific provisions of the franchise agreement are broken or disregarded. The franchise owner may take legal action to end the contract on the basis of blatant disregard of the rules agreed upon. This may cost the franchisor tons of money to defend his/her case.
Having lack of guidance and support is found be another franchise disadvantage. Small franchises do not have much accessibility to available resources and support systems. Because franchising is decentralized, very little guidance and supervision is provided.
Restricted flexibility and stunted growth potential are disadvantages of franchise ownership. All franchises are bound to the limits set the brand owner which leaves very little room for innovation and improvement. Flexibility was the cost of having a secure and proven effective business model.
Since a franchise is a chain of business sharing one brand, one of the worst franchise disadvantages a franchisor can experience is suffering because of another franchisor's mistake. For example, when a particular franchised restaurant is found to have mice in their kitchen, it is immediately assumed by consumers that all restaurants bearing that franchised brand also have mice in their kitchen. In a franchise, the franchisor is always susceptible to suffering from mistakes of his/her co-franchisors.
The sad disadvantage of franchise ownership is that all triumphs of the franchise are shared but all problems are of the franchise are just the franchisor's problem. When a franchise is doing well, the victory is shared especially by the owner of the brand as he/she gets part of the profits. When a franchise encounters problems such as staff absence or incompetence, it is just faced by the specific franchisor and not the whole chain much less, the owner of the brand.
Franchising can be a good business especially if an individual is team player who is able to work a network of franchises to his or her advantage not to mention having the benefit of the saved headache of creating your own business model. Just like any business, franchising has its own advantages and disadvantages. Prior to going into a franchising business, do some researching first and check out the things to watch out for when franchising because one might regret the many possible franchise disadvantages that might arise.

$host isn't just for EnterNestedPrompt(). $host.UI.RawUI has some intresting data. For example, Nicely Wrapping a Line of Text to STDOUT uses $host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize.Width to determine where to break the line based on window width. However,
$host.UI.RauUI.WindowSize.Width = 80;
doesn't seem to work. The reason is because 'WindowSize' is a System.Management.Automation.Host.Size object, and Width is that object's Width property. Therefore, to change the window's size, a new System.Management.Automation.Host.Size object must be created. New ... object. Hm.
$host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.Size(80, 25);
As for the scrollbar, that's the $host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize property, which is another Host.Size object.
$host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.Size(80, 9999);
The one gotcha is, when growing the window's width, set the BufferSize first, then the WindowSize. When shrinking the width, set the WindowSize first, then the BufferSize. As a mnemoic, BufferSize -ge WindowSize must be true.

The gold standard in vampire lore is Bram Stoker's "Dracula," believed to be based on the sadistic 15th-century Romanian prince Vlad Tepes...
"The Historian"
by Elizabeth Kostova
Little, Brown, 647 pp., $25.95
The gold standard in vampire lore is Bram Stoker's "Dracula," believed to be based on the sadistic 15th-century Romanian prince Vlad Tepes, called "Drakulya," from the Latin root for dragon or devil, and "Vlad the Impaler" for his preferred method of executions — a method that bears a striking similarity to a traditional method of killing vampires by driving a stake through the heart.
First-time novelist Elizabeth Kostova revives the dark Prince Vlad in "The Historian," a tale so accomplished it won a $2 million advance from its publisher in the confident expectation it would be an instant best seller.
That expectation is not apt to be disappointed. Sony reportedly paid an additional seven figures for film rights — if the film script hews to the same understated sense of evil that powers the novel, it could make a memorable movie.

"The Historian" begins in 1972, when a 16-year-old American girl living in Amsterdam with her diplomat father discovers an ancient book in his library. A woodcut in the book's center depicts a dragon with spread wings and outstretched claws. Along with the book, she finds a packet of yellowing letters addressed to "My dear and unfortunate successor."
Coming up
Elizabeth Kostova
The author of "The Historian" will read at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at Seattle's Elliott Bay Book Co. (206-624-6600; www.elliottbaybook.com).
When she asks her father about the book and the letters, he sadly recounts his own discovery of another copy of the same book when he was a graduate student.
Immediately after that discovery, his beloved adviser went missing, launching her father on a lengthy search that failed to find the adviser but led indirectly to his daughter's birth. History seems to be repeating itself when the girl's father goes missing, and she sets out across Europe in search of him.
The story of "The Historian" unfolds in three overlapping time lines: in 1930, 1952 and 1972, in Romania, Bulgaria, Istanbul and the south of France. Always, glimpsed at a distance or in a crowd, there hovers the elusive presence of a dark, slender man who seems to follow her travels. Dracula, we learn, takes a particular interest in gifted historians and in librarians of noted collections of old and rare books.
It is a tribute to Kostova's careful skill that the reader never becomes confused, since the three story lines retrace much of the same terrain, through ancient monasteries and the rare-book collections of several libraries.
Although the customary props of a swirling black cape and garlic and crucifixes are present, this menace to historians is not the traditional Dracula acted memorably by Bela Lugosi.
This is a beast fully capable of venturing forth by daylight, and sufficiently in the good graces of several ancient monasteries that he can claim guarded tombs inside their walls in a number of locations, much as a living man might have far-flung vacation homes.
Only one moment in Dracula's history limited his powers, and Kostova wraps her story around the historians' pursuit of ancient letters that provide clues to that complicated and difficult part of Dracula's life and undeath.
Kostova excels at the kind of quirky details that brings her characters to vivid life (a Soviet-bloc executive's hair is remarked to have changed overnight from a strange purplish red with white roots, to black) and at quiet, matter-of-fact descriptions of pivotal moments, such as "the elusive feeling that if I slipped my hand into his as we walked along, a door would fall open somewhere in the long wall of reality as I knew it, never to be closed again."
Kostova graduated from Yale and holds an M.F.A. degree from the University of Michigan. Her careful attention to historic detail goes far to explain why the book's creation consumed 10 years.
Perhaps the most telling thing that can be said of "The Historian" is that at 647 pages it does not seem a word too long.

I have recently purchased a Panasonic HC-X920 camcorder which, as far as I can see, only records to the SDHC card in 1080/p,1080/50i, or iFame.In the record set up on the screen the rec mode options are 1080/50i ,under that there is PH,HA ,HG and HE 920.
Otherwise the only other options are 1080/50p and iframe.
In the printed basic operating instructions spec , under motion pic rec format it lists (AVCHD):AVCHD format version 2 compliant
(AVCH 3D/progressive) [can record in 3D with 3D lens]
Motion pic compression
I set the record mode to 1080/p and have transferred a 4 minute recording via a card reader to my PC and edited it with Corel Video Studio X5 Pro as a test project in order to construct a workflow for future use.
Initially, I want to copy the finished project to a usb stick that will plug into my set top blue ray player and so be watchable on my HD TV .When I have conquered this method , my intention was then burn a "hybrid" video to a standard DVD that will give good quality playback via a blue ray player.
At this point , I am not confident about blue ray compliance or whether this will be an issue at all-am I correct in assuming that a 50 fps frame rate is not compliant but 25fps is ?Where do I go from here-help please

AVCHD version 2 supports 50 fps but a more relevant question would be whether your blu ray player, which you didn't name, supports AVCHD 2.0 at all. AVCHD support is not mandatory for blu ray player. Most seem to support it, but I suppose you could probably find a player that supports the old spec and not the current 2.0 one. Should you care, I would not expect a non-3D blu ray player to support 3D AVCHD at all.
My 3D blue ray player is a Pioneer BPD-140.it supports AVCHD,Blue Ray disc format version 2,rewrite version 3,BD ROM profile 5 and Blue Ray 3D amongst other formats.I understand that only 25fps is blue ray compliant.

An Egyptian television host of the Al Tahrir TV network said the writers of U.S. show "The Simpsons" are actually colluding as "Jewish lobbies" and "think tanks" at the behest of Rupert Murdoch, "the most influential and dangerous man in the world."
The host's remarks were followed by an interview with Imad Gad, the network's TV director, who gives an explanation about the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
"They want to tell the Western countries and the Western cultures that the Arabs hate them and they are imprisoned by conspiracy theories," he said.
There seems to be a conspiracy theory here, but maybe, just maybe, it's not at MEMRI. You be the judge.

The emails are the same every year: "Help! I'm supposed to bring a dessert to a holiday party but I have no idea what to make and I'm a terrible baker. (I store dress shoes in my oven.) Do you have any ideas on what I can bring? There will be serious food people there so I can't do the store-bought thing." –Your Oven-Challenged Friend
Do you want an easy-to-prepare dessert that everyone loves? Do you need a gluten-free dish? If you're hosting, would you like a fun activity at your party that both kids and adults will enjoy? Never fear! I have the perfect solution – that's both delicious (and nutritious).
Chocolate-dipped strawberries are always a hit – and you can make them the day before and simply store them in a large tupperware and place wax paper in between each layer. If you are hosting a party and overwhelmed at the idea of cooking for a lot of guests, you can still offer a sophisticated table of food by simply getting creative.
Borrow a couple of fondue pots (or follow my directions below and use the stove), melt some cheese in one and chocolate in the other. For the cheese fondue dippers, keep it simple and offer cubed sourdough bread and vegetables like blanched cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. I recommend purchasing some high-quality cheese for your fondue.
Berries aren't exactly seasonal right now but the beauty of a Fondue Party is that you can dip pretty much anything into chocolate. For the chocolate fondue, you can offer kiwi or bananas slices, pineapple chunks, pear or apple slices, and of course, strawberries. It's an excellent way to get some fruit into kids during this sugary time of year. However, the kids (and adults for that matter) might also enjoy graham crackers and pretzels too.
Place some more cheese, olives, and grapes on the table surrounding the fondue pots and everyone will comment on what a spectacular host/hostess you are – when you hardly did a thing in the kitchen!
This recipe is from my cookbook – enjoy and HAPPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
Dipping food into melted chocolate is always an exciting activity! When making this recipe with kids, make sure that you keep the chocolate cool enough for their little fingers to touch but not so cold that it hardens.
30 medium-sized strawberries
6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or non-hydrogenated margarine
1 tablespoon corn syrup
KIDS 2 and up: Wash and dry the strawberries. Make sure that the berries are completely dry or the
chocolate will not adhere to them. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
ADULTS: In the top of a double boiler that you've set over simmering water, stir the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove the chocolate from the heat but leave the water simmering in case the chocolate starts to harden and you need to re-heat it. If you're worried about small kids touching a still-warm pan, you can transfer the chocolate to a cool dish.
KIDS 2 and up: Hold each strawberry by its stem and dip it ¾ of the way into the chocolate. Swirl it and shake off excess chocolate. Place the chocolate-dipped strawberry on the baking sheet lined with waxed paper and repeat with the rest of the strawberries. They can harden in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
Cooking Tips:
-It's best if the strawberries are at room temperature rather than cold.
-If you don't have a double boiler (which is necessary since the chocolate will burn if put directly over heat), simply place a metal bowl on top of a saucepan or put a small saucepan inside another larger saucepan. Alternatively, you can microwave the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until it is melted.
-"Simmering" means a few small bubbles are barely breaking the surface.
-This recipe can be prepared up to 1-2 days before serving – just store the strawberries in the
refrigerator and remove 30 minutes before serving.
Kid Tips:
-If your kids want to create designs, melt some white chocolate, dip a spoon in, and swirl designs onto the chocolate-dipped strawberries. Or, they can dip the chocolate-dipped strawberries in sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes (plus 1 hour for hardening)
Yields: 30 strawberries

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! The Hyundai Veloster Turbo might be aiming for the mighty Volkswagen GTI in performance, but it's trying to undercut it in price, too: we hear that the Veloster Turbo will cost just $1600 more than a comparably equipped Veloster, making it thousands less than the mighty Vee Dub.Hyundai CEO John Krafcik took to the corporate Twitter feed yesterday to drum up excitement about the upcoming 201-hp hatchback, revealing that "it's just $1600 more than a comparably equipped non-Turbo" model.Simple math would suggest that a base Turbo would start at $1600 more than a base Veloster, which means a starting price of $19,675 (including destination), but Hyundai confirmed that the resulting figure is a little low of reality. Instead, Krafcik's number takes into account that the Turbo will come with leather seats, alloy wheels, and a body kit standard. There's no word on the Veloster's segment-first matte paint, although we anticipate it'll be an option.By our math, that means the Turbo will come with most (or all) of the options from the naturally aspirated Veloster's Style Package as standard. Specify a 2012 Veloster with the Style Package and add Krafcik's $1600 magic number, and you get $21,675–our best guess at the Veloster Turbo's price.We'll know for sure if that number is right tomorrow, when Hyundai releases the car's full specifications and options list, but in the meantime we can't help but notice that at a theoretical $21,675, the Veloster Turbo undercuts its closest competitor, the Fiat 500 Abarth, by $1025. Even better, it undercuts the two-door hatch Volkswagen GTI by $3090.Would this price push the funky Veloster any higher up your shopping list?

Most first-time closers seek advice from those who have stood at the edge of the plank day after day, to learn about the most effective routines, warm-up regimens, and coping with the adrenaline that is unique to that job. But Jason Grilli didn't really do any of that.
He is getting his first shot at being a closer in the major leagues, yes, but the man is 36 years old, not right out of college. He was the fourth overall pick in the 1997 draft out of Seton Hall by the San Francisco Giants, but he could never cut it as a starter. He's been released time and again, traded, passed through waivers, been out of the majors for years at a time. His list of career transactions reads like the lyrics to Johnny Cash's classic "I've Been Everywhere".
Pressure? Seriously?
"This is fun, man," Grilli said over the phone the other day, laughing. "I've been prepping for this for awhile. I was never a made guy."
But so far this season, he has been arguably the best reliever in the majors, with nine scoreless innings, eight saves in eight chances, at the back end of what has been the best bullpen in the majors; the Pirates' relievers have an ERA of 1.98, third best in the majors.
Grilli has 15 strikeouts in those nine innings, with three hits and four walks allowed. Having now filled every bullpen role ever imagined by a manager, other than left-handed specialist -- because Grilli, after all, is right-handed -- he is convinced that the most difficult aspect of being a reliever is dealing with inherited runners.
But there is a special challenge for those getting those last outs, and it's incredible that Grilli is getting his first shot at closing so late in his baseball life. "I don't think I'll catch Mariano Rivera in what I'm doing," he joked. "But to get a chance to be the guy -- because Rivera's The Guy -- and be in that role, that's something you dream about it, you dream about that chance to do it, and I'm so appreciative."
Along the way, he learned from pitchers like Todd Jones, about how to prepare and how to deal with the adversity, and words that Joel Hanrahan said to him last year really stuck with him, at a time when Grilli was serving as Hanrahan's setup man. "Grilli, you can definitely do this," Hanrahan said.
Grilli is self-deprecating when talking about his career, poking fun at himself, but he also believes that what he went through to get to this moment has made this opportunity even more special, because of the context. Grilli said, "I wouldn't trade where I went through. I appreciate this so much more."
Grilli closed a game in Philadelphia on Tuesday after Jeff Locke was outstanding against the Phillies. The Pirates summoned Brandon Inge.
Around the league
• Adam Wainwright has been all but perfect with his control, Derrick Goold writes. He threw 34 2/3 innings before allowing his first walk of season (he walked Bryce Harper) -- the longest streak by Cardinals pitcher to start a season since Slim Sallee (pronounced: Suh-LEE) in 1913 (40 innings).
From ESPN Stats & Info, how Wainwright beat the Nationals:
A) He threw 61 breaking balls and 50 fastballs, but had five strikeouts with his fastball (entered day with six strikeouts with his fastball in four starts)
B) He got five first-pitch outs (four groundouts). Opponents are 1-for-15 with a sacrifice on the first pitch of at-bats against Wainwright this season. (For context: First-pitch BA in the majors last year was .333)
For a night, Shane Robinson filled in for the struggling Jon Jay in the outfield. Bernie Miklasz writes about the lineup he expects to see next year.
• On Tuesday's podcast, Jonny Gomes -- who became a dad for the third time Monday -- talked about something really nice he did to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon bombers last week, and Jayson Stark and I kicked around the good (the Rangers and others) and the not-so-good as expected (the Nationals).
Speaking of fatherhood, Alex Avila was back with his newborn daughter.
• On a rainy day in Detroit, the Tigers reconstructed their bullpen and put Jose Valverde back into his old role. This gamble could pay dividends, writes Lynn Henning.
• Zack Wheeler will pitch in the big leagues and the expectation among rival evaluators is that eventually, he's going to be pretty good, a No. 1- or No. 2-type of starter, a twin to Matt Harvey. He's reached the stage in his development where any one of his outings in the minors could be his last before he's called up -- depending on what he does.
What the Mets want to see in Wheeler is the sort of command that makes them believe he won't have to go back to the minors. He has 12 walks in 18 1/3 innings for Triple-A Las Vegas so far, but the Mets believe that those numbers are rooted in a blister issue that has affected the command of his slider, in particular. But with treatment, his blister has been getting better, and if Wheeler improves his command - if he reduces the walks, and demonstrates that he can be promoted to the big leagues to stay -- he'll be on his way. Wheeler is set to make his next start for Las Vegas on Thursday night.
The Mets' decent start increases the team's motivation to call up Wheeler, because if New York is going to be relevant in the NL East this summer, it'll be because of the rotation, with Harvey, Jonathon Niese and Dillon Gee. And as the Rockies have shown, giving young players an opportunity to gain experience one summer can help their development immeasurably in the next.
Terry Collins has talked to Wheeler about pitching in the Pacific Coast League, writes Anthony McCarron.
Niese was hit by a ball batted back through the middle on Wednesday and had to leave the game in the third inning, but the Mets don't think he'll miss a lot of time.
• The Brewers win every game. All Milwaukee has been doing with its bullpen is throwing up zeroes, says manager Ron Roenicke.
• The Upton brothers had a huge day, in what has been a huge month for the younger Upton.
From Elias: B.J. and Justin Upton are just the second pair of siblings to hit back-to-back homers in MLB history. It also happened on Sept. 15, 1938, by Hall of Famers Paul and Lloyd Waner (Pirates). It was the third time this month that the Uptons have hit home runs in the same game. No other pair of brothers has done that for the same team more than once in any month in major league history. The only other pair of brothers to homer in the same game three times in one season are the Aarons, Hank and Tommie, who had three such games for the 1962 Braves. Justin Upton hit two home runs (427 and 425 feet) during the Braves-Rockies day-night doubleheader Tuesday, giving him 11 for the season.
Through 20 games Braves pitchers have allowed the same number of home runs, 11, as Upton has hit. And only Albert Pujols (2006) and Mike Schmidt (1976) have hit more homers through 20 games than Upton has.
There is more help on the way for the Braves, too. Brian McCann played four innings at catcher in an extended spring game Tuesday, and is set to begin his minor league rehabilitation assignment Friday. If all goes as planned, he'll get eight to 10 games in the minors before being activated, and then the Braves will have to deal with the difficult decision of what to do with Evan Gattis and Gerald Laird. All Gattis does is hit home runs -- he clubbed another Tuesday -- and Laird has performed well this season, too.
Gattis' home run against the Rockies was a difference-maker, writes David O'Brien.
• A decision made by the Marlins' higher-ups angered the manager and coaching staff.
Moves, deals and decisions
1. The Red Sox called up Daniel Bard, Peter Abraham writes.
2. The Nationals claimed a reliever.
3. Josh Stinson will make his debut with the Orioles on Thursday.
4. Casper Wells is learning that baseball isn't fair, writes John Hickey.
Dings and dents
1. Dylan Bundy went to see Dr. James Andrews. We don't know exactly what the problem is, and the Orioles are not required to tell us, but you don't see Dr. Andrews unless you have concerns.
2. The hits just keep on coming for the Dodgers: Chad Billingsley is out for the year.
3. Justin Maxwell suffered a broken hand.
4. Kevin Youkilis will be out until Thursday, at least.
5. Mark Teixeira's rehab is moving along.
6. Jonathan Broxton is OK and was available to pitch, as mentioned at the end of this Joe Kay story.
7. Kyle Lohse hopes to make his next start.
8. Todd Helton has a forearm issue, Patrick Saunders writes.
9. The Angels' Sean Burnett is still not 100 percent, J.P. Hoornstra writes.
10. Jeff Baker says his knee issue is not serious.
Tuesday's games
1. The Nationals fell back to .500. From Adam Kilgore's story:
After a 2-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Nationals Park, players vowed time would reveal their ability. Down the hall, Johnson studied a lineup that had produced two runs in 28 innings and planned changes for Wednesday afternoon.
"I'm usually pretty patient, but I'm getting to my rope's end," Johnson said. "The effort is there. We're just not getting it done. We've got the players who can get it done. We're just not getting it done. It's time to get a little mad."
2. Alfredo Aceves had a really bad day. There seemed to be a lack of focus, his manager said.
3. Didi Gregorius lifted the D-backs, again.
4. Oakland bounced back, Susan Slusser writes.
5. Howie Kendrick got some huge hits for the Angels.
6. The pride of Rapid City had a big night for the Dodgers.
7. The Blue Jays continue to play terrible baseball. John Gibbons had changed his lineup.
AL East
• Ichiro was The Man for the Yankees.
• After beating R.A. Dickey and the Jays, the Orioles have now won six straight games decided by one or two runs -- and that doesn't include the win they had when Matt Wieters broke a tie with a walk-off grand slam.
From Elias: Most consecutive wins when leading after seven innings
1906-1907 Cubs: 121
1998-1999 Yankees: 116
2011-2013 Orioles: 100*
1943-1944 Cardinals: 100
*Extended Tuesday
• The Rays didn't win, but David Price eased some concerns.
AL Central
• The Royals are trying to get Mike Moustakas going.
• Carlos Santana turned a game with his defense.
• Oswaldo Arcia had a big day.
• Glen Perkins has been throwing hard.
• John Danks is making another rehab start.
AL West
• For the Mariners, there is missed opportunity. Houston is 3-12 against the rest of baseball, 3-2 against Seattle, Ryan Divish writes.
• Tanner Scheppers has been flat-out dealing.
NL East
• The Phillies struggled for offense again. Ryan Howard is searching for power, writes Matt Gelb.
NL Central
• Darwin Barney provided a big pick-up for Carlos Marmol.
• The Cubs want Anthony Rizzo to focus on run production, rather than hitting home runs, Paul Sullivan writes.
NL West
• The Rockies had to deal with record-setting weather -- and the Braves.
• Matt Cain blamed himself. The Giants might've benefited from a pinch-runner, writes Henry Schulman.
Other stuff
• A Barry Bonds home run plaque has gone missing, writes Daniel Brown.
• Carlos Quentin talked with Zack Greinke.
• The ball that Josh Hamilton dropped at the end of last season was auctioned off.
• Mariano Rivera's unique farewell tour continues.
And today will be better than yesterday.

Boys are full of potential that needs to be activated. They long to experience the world around them. They need a unique education that will tap into their drive and inspire them to do, to make, to solve problems, to give of themselves through the knowledge and skills they have mastered.
Boys long for a landscape of action where they learn to navigate boyhood and become young men of courage and imagination. They need to work and study alongside men who guide them—together with their parents—along the adventurous road to manhood.
They need to be guided by the compass of wisdom attained through the study of the liberal arts. Where they hear, speak, and write alongside the masters of old. Where their imaginations are enriched by characters and stories that inspire them with wonder and refine their consciences. And where they learn the art of liberty and what it means to be human.
Boys yearn for adventures in the outdoors, where their limits are tested and their hearts and minds grow strong; where competitions and games are part of learning; where they reconnect with nature and experience the joy of working with their hands. And they need a place where they can actively live their faith. Our vision is to make Riverside that place. We invite you to join us!

INCLUDE is a way to copy working storage definitions of the SQLCA or SQLDA into the source code of a DB2 program. The record layouts for these are stored in DB2 and are inserted by the DB2 pre-compiler. All COBOL programs using DB2 should have the SQLCA included to examine DB2 return codes. The SQLDA is used for dynamic SQL in a COBOL program. You can also define your own record layouts and store them in DB2, but most people don't do that.
User created record layouts of DB2 tables (created by DECLGEN or hand coded), other working storage records, or other reusable procedural statements, are usually stored in a COPYBOOK managed by a source code management system like PANLALET (or whatever source code management system you are using).

On Monday I was down in Seward with Jonathan Gurry to photograph Moorea and Terril's wedding at the beautiful Fox Island Lodge. We had never been there before so it was a great new place to shoot with a lot of options. The day started with rain and clouds but the rain stopped and the sun came out towards the end of the day and we had some incredible light. Moorea and Terril are both Marine Biologists, so there was definitely a theme here that went well with their personalities.

Schone Kunst of Freak show?
1998, A day in the country
Born September, 13, 1939, in Brooklyn, N.Y.
His father was a Jewish glazier, his mother a Roman Catholic who worked in a DDT plant. His parents were unable to transcend their religious differences and the two divorced when Witkin was young, the boy remaining with his mother. He attended grammar school at Saint Cecelia's in Brooklyn, and went on to Grover Cleveland High School.
Beauty has Three Nipples 1998
Beauty Has 3 Nipples (1998)
Witkin credited his father for having instilled his own latent photographic ambitions in his young son:
He took me aside and showed me some clips from Life magazine or Look magazine, the Daily Mirror, or the News (he wasn't a New York Times reader). I was about 5, and I knew when he was showing me these photographs that he was telling me he couldn't do this, but maybe there was a chance that part of him could, somehow, through me. Without saying it, I looked at him, and I knew, and he knew, that I could try.
Ars Moriendi (2007)
In his 1998 book "The Bone House," latent photographic ambitions in his young son: Witkin claims that his unique visual sensibilities began to churn when, as a small child, he witnessed aterrible car accident in front of his home, in which alittle girl was decapitated. Herecalls her head rollingtohis feet, her dead eyes staring upward. Witkin also cites urban crime photographer Weegee as an early influence.
Objects Near a Window, Paris (2007)
In his 1995 book "Witkin," the photographer writes: "I began making photographs when I was sixteen. That same year, Edward Steichen selected one of my photographs to be included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. That was the beginning of a life devoted to photography."
Majorette, 2003
After high school, Witkin got jobs that would enable him to learn the nuts and bolts of photographic technique. He worked as a color photography printer until he enlisted in the Army in 1961, where he served as a technical sergeant and worked as a photo technician and a photographer, documenting assorted military accidents, until 1964.
Anna Akhmatova 1998
In 1976, Witkin went on to pursue his graduate and postgraduate work in photography at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque. While there, he received a Ford Foundation grant in 1977. And in 1978 he married his wife, Cynthia, a tattoo artist. The two live in Albuquerque with their son, Kirsten-Ahanu Witkin, and Mrs. Witkin's lover, Cynthia Cook, and another woman by the name of Barbara Gilbert, whose apparent function is to care for the post-nuclear family's three dogs.
