U.S. stocks fell, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (CME:SPZ13) sliding a second day, as data showed weaker-than-forecast growth in service industries and concern grew that the political impasse could lead to a recession.
Eli Lilly Co. dropped 3.5% after the drugmaker said it would be "challenging" for it to meet its 2014 sales target. United Technologies Corp., a supplier of helicopters and jet engines to the military, retreated 1% after saying the shutdown would lead to as many as 5,000 temporary layoffs. Boeing Co. sank 1.9% as industrial stocks led losses among S&P groups. PulteGroup Inc. slid 2.3% as all 11 members of an S&P gauge of homebuilders fell.
The S&P 500 lost 0.8% to 1,681.17 at 2:51 p.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 108.21 points, or 0.7%, to 15,024.93. Trading in S&P 500 stocks was 12% above the 30-day average at this time of day.
"I think people are starting to raise an eyebrow finally," Joseph Saluzzi, partner and co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading LLC in Chatham, New Jersey, said in a phone interview. "The longer this goes on, people get a little more nervous. And when people get nervous they sell first and ask questions later."
Talks last night between congressional leaders and President Obama failed to break the fiscal stalemate, with both sides repeating the positions they've held for weeks.
'One Way Out'
Obama said today there is only "one way out" of the shutdown -- for House Speaker John Boehner to allow a vote on a stopgap spending bill without conditions. The speaker urged Democrats to negotiate a settlement, blaming them for causing the stoppage.
The S&P 500 fell as much as 1.4% before trimming its decline. The paring accelerated after Boehner's spokesman said the speaker would not let the government default on its debt.
Boehner "has always said that the U.S. will not default on its debt, but if we're going to raise the debt limit, we need to deal with the drivers of our debt and deficits," spokesman Michael Steel said.
The Treasury has said measures to avoid exceeding the the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling will be exhausted by Oct. 17 and warned today that a default caused by failure to raise the cap could have catastrophic consequences that might last decades.
"Not only might the economic consequences of default be profound, those consequences, including high interest rates, reduced investment, higher debt payments, and slow economic growth, could last for more than a generation," the Treasury said in the report.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., the biggest U.S. bank, should oust most of its board and split Jamie Dimon's dual roles as chairman and chief executive officer, shareholder advisory firm Glass Lewis & Co. said.
Stockholders should replace six of the board's 11 directors at the bank's annual meeting May 21 and approve a proposal to name an independent chairman, Glass Lewis said today in a report.
Calls for Dimon, 57, to relinquish the chairmanship have mounted since last May, when New York-based JPMorgan disclosed risk-control lapses in its chief investment office on credit- derivative bets that fueled a $6.2 billion trading loss and sparked regulatory probes. Institutional Shareholder Services on May 3 also urged a vote in favor of splitting Dimon's roles and removing three directors.
Investigations by the company and lawmakers "have revealed questionable risk-management practices at both the senior management and board levels," Glass Lewis wrote in the report. "Shareholders should be concerned that company management was allowed to build a massive exposure to credit derivatives," switch risk models and undervalue its positions without triggering a review by the board.
Glass Lewis said shareholders should vote against James A. Bell, former chief financial officer at Boeing Co.; Crandall C. Bowles, chairman of Springs Industries Inc.; David M. Cote, CEO of Honeywell International Inc.; James S. Crown, president of Henry Crown & Co.; Ellen V. Futter, president of the American Museum of Natural History; and Laban P. Jackson, CEO of Clear Creek Properties Inc.
Risk Policy
Bell, Bowles and Jackson are members of the board's audit committee. Cote, Crown and Futter serve on the risk-policy committee, which is responsible for oversight of risk-exposure management. The ISS recommendation said those three risk panelists should be voted out.
"The risk-policy committee was likely too willing to trust senior management's risk oversight and did not have meaningful review processes in place to cover instances of risk limit breaches or significant deviations in portfolio valuation," Glass Lewis wrote in the report.
Both Glass Lewis and ISS endorsed a proposal in 2012 to split Dimon's jobs and name an independent chairman, which was rejected by shareholders with 40% of the vote.
"With the two leading proxy advisory firms recommending investors vote against key directors, it is clear that the status quo can no longer continue," said Dieter Waizenegger, executive director of the CtW Investment Group, which provides advice to union pension funds managing $250 billion in assets, including shares of JPMorgan.

MAYBE THEY SHOULD JUST HIT A JACK-IN-THE-BOX: So where will the A-list crowd (not to mention the B- and C-list ones) migrate to after the last statuette has been doled out on Oscar night and the last Governor's Ball lamb chop has been nibbled? Following the cancellations of Ed Limato's pre- and Vanity Fair's post-Oscar bashes, two of the town's most high-profile private events have also called it quits: Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg's pre-Oscar lunch, and Dani Janssen's post-Oscar night capper, which began before most starlets were even born. Top party planners in Hollywood believe even more fetes will follow suit, but at least a handful of the biggest are still on: The Chopard/Elton John AIDS Foundation post-party at the Pacific Design Center (which used to do battle with Vanity Fair just a block away at the now-shuttered Morton's), and Variety's no-press-invited Night Before and Night Before the Night Before parties. One party planner speculated that both will hold strong because they benefit charities (Variety's Night Before benefits the Motion Picture & Television Fund). There's no confirmation yet as to whether party boys Patrick Whitesell and Mike De Luca will hold their after-after-hours parties but, without anything to attend before, that doesn't seem likely since part of their appeal was that they were the last stop.
As for the other Friday-night, agent-hosted fetes of Endeavor's Ari Emmanuel and CAA's Bryan Lourd, no word on whether those will go ahead. But the intimate at-home gathering might be a popular option for post-show Oscar night, especially given the limbo the award show's talent bookers are in because of the writers' strike and whether stars will even march the red carpet. If the uncertainty goes on too much longer, potential presenters might make other plans altogether and not be able to scurry to the ceremony at the last minute if the writers' strike is settled. "They very well could be watching from a hotel room in St. Barth's," said one insider. — Marcy Medina

CARLA CHRONICLES: A few days after her 40th birthday and her marriage to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Carla Bruni is generating plenty of type. French publishers rushed two biographies about Bruni to bookstore shelves on Wednesday, and a third tome is due out on Valentine's Day. But after all that has been written in the French and international press since the beginning of her love story with Sarkozy, often called "the French soap opera," it seems there is not much new to say about the singer and ex-model's life. All three biographies recount her rosy childhood in Italy and France, her successful modeling career, her numerous romantic escapades and her transformation into a singer (she is currently recording her third album). Thierry Coljon describes her as a smart, determined and talented woman in his "Carla Bruni: The Queen of Hearts" (Luc Piré), while in "Who Is She Really?" (Privé), Christine Richard and Edouard Boulon-Cluzel wonder how the free-spirited man-eater got tricked into married life. But the latter authors note she was the one who asked Sarkozy, "Got a car?" the first night they met. In "Dangerous Liaison Chronicle" (Scali), Paul-Eric Blanrue and Chris Laffaille suggest Bruni's class and education will be of some help to Sarkozy, whom they call President Bling-Bling. They note, for example, Sarkozy traded his Rolex in for a Patek Philippe. — Chantal Goupil
OUT OF TOUCH: These are tough times for the tabloid set, with Bauer Publishing hit hardest. Most celebrity weeklies saw flat or falling newsstand sales in the second half, according to a report in the New York Post, except Us Weekly and OK. People, Us Weekly, In Touch and Life & Style all raised their cover prices in the fall, but it appears Bauer's titles suffered the most from the move. After several years of rapid growth and soaring newsstand sales, Bauer said Wednesday that it would cut the rate base for In Touch to 1 million from 1.2 million, and Life & Style will decrease its rate base to 550,000 from 700,000. Both moves are effective immediately. Moreover, Life & Style will miss its rate base for 2007, reporting a total paid circulation of 681,723 for the period. In Touch, meanwhile, reported a total paid circulation of 1,271,354 for the period, surpassing its rate base. Bauer raised the prices of In Touch and Life & Style to $2.99 in October, a 50 percent increase. In September, People raised its cover price to $3.99 from $3.49, and Us Weekly followed suit several weeks later. "Like any product, if you increase your price 50 percent, you're going to feel an impact inevitably," said Ian Scott, president of Bauer Advertising Sales, who also noted that the price hikes have helped generate healthy revenues for the company.
More drama also ensued for Bauer on Wednesday, when a report on complex.com circulated that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is supposedly investigating former West Coast editors who allegedly took money in return for selecting photos to run on In Touch's cover. A spokeswoman for Bauer responded, "This whole story sounds ludicrous. Our West Coast bureau does not assign photo agencies — this goes through our photo desk. In Touch has not been contacted by the FBI."
As if that news wasn't enough to keep Bauer staffers buzzing, on Wednesday, Neil Goldstein resigned as publisher of Life & Style to join Maxim as associate publisher. A replacement has not been named.

AS LONG AS TIME PERFORMS, FINE: During his first earnings call as chief executive officer of Time Warner Inc., Jeff Bewkes said there will be a cost reduction in the corporate office. A spokesman later confirmed that 100 people will be let go from corporate headquarters and more cuts could be on the way for New Line Cinema. There is currently no timetable as to when changes will happen (which could include more layoffs). Bewkes also said AOL would split its Internet access and advertising businesses and, depending on what happens in upcoming negotiations, Time Warner Cable could be spun off.
As for Time Inc., Bewkes started out by noting the division is "good at publishing," and as it expands in more areas, such as digital, he believes that it can turn into a strong growth business. He noted, however, that its future at Time Warner will depend on how that is demonstrated to investors, among others. Revenues at Time Inc. for the fourth quarter rose 1 percent to $1.5 billion, while operating income before depreciation and amortization increased 2 percent to $414 million. At Time Warner overall, revenues were up 2 percent to $12.6 billion and adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization jumped 16 percent to $3.5 billion over the fourth quarter in 2006. Net income dropped 41 percent to just more than $1 billion. — Amy Wicks
THE WORLD OF RALPH: In November, Ralph Lauren recruited Departures associate editor Matt Trainor to be editorial director of ralphlauren.com, and now the fruits of his labor have emerged. Originally launched in 2001, the online magazine RL has been relaunched as part of what a spokesman for Polo Ralph Lauren Corp. described as "'merchantainment' — a world where our customers can shop for our products, explore rich content [and] exclusive editorial and interact with the Ralph Lauren brand all at the same time." The new issue is a typical glimpse into the Ralph Lauren universe — an interview with Georgina Bloomberg and her horse-jumping prowess, and stories on wine and spirits, luxury cars, grooming, travel and philanthropy. In contrast to those who believe promulgating luxury goods is best done in print, the magazine is and will remain online only. — Irin Carmon

I haven't talked about it at .net, but privately I've wondered if Adderall really was helping Richard Sherman. Before anyone laughs, interceptions and passes defensed are not easy to get and require split second reactions, attention to detail, and a strong presence of mind. Richard Sherman is one of the very best corners in the league at breaking on a pass that targets his receiver. It's basically the reason why he's so great.
I had feared that the lack of Adderall in his system might have contributed to him having a poor performance in the Chicago game- a game in which Sherman suffered several mental lapses, including that huge play to Marshall which helped force OT. His Adderall co-defendant Brandon Browner had a tough game mentally as well.
Well the nice thing about today was that it proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Richard Sherman we've been accustomed to is the real thing, and that he was never dependent on juicing up in any shape or fashion. Sometimes you see that with players- they get caught juicing in some way and are never the same after once they have to stop. Today Sherman displayed his usual excellent mental awareness. I never really thought it was likely that Adderall was his crutch, but stranger things have happened, and I'm glad to see that whatever small chance Sherman had of experiencing a decline from being adderall free is essentially zero.

Title: Something Strange and Deadly
Author: Susan Dennard
May Contain Spoilers
From Amazon:
There's something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia. . . .
Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about.
Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is determined to marry her off to any rich young man who walks by. But this is nothing compared to what she's just read in the newspaper:
The Dead are rising in Philadelphia.
And then, in a frightening attack, a zombie delivers a letter to Eleanor . . . from her brother.
Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If Eleanor is going to find him, she'll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces. But as Eleanor spends more time with the Spirit-Hunters, including the maddeningly stubborn yet handsome Daniel, the situation becomes dire. And now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance.
I was disappointed with Something Strange and Deadly. Honestly, I don't know if anything could have lived up to the hype surrounding this title, and since I was waiting with such a sense of anticipation, it fell short for me. The beginning was intriguing – Eleanor is searching for a sign from her brother that he'll be returning home soon, and poof! A stinky, reanimated corpse gives her a note from Elijah. That's so much better than using a carrier pigeon! Just wrestle up a corpse when you need to pass a note to somebody! It will terrify the recipient, but who's going to try to incept your missive?
After it is apparent that Elijah has decided, yet again, to delay his homecoming, Eleanor's mother decides to use the opportunity to hold a séance, instead of the already planned and paid for welcoming party. She has to marry Eleanor off, if they hope to retain their current lifestyle, since Elijah isn't doing his job and providing for them. With Elijah a constant no-show, Eleanor's mother is getting desperate. With her husband dead and her son failing to care for the family, desperate measures are called for.
I loved the séance. It's creepy, and her mother's foolishness calls forth a very dangerous spirit. Whoa! Who would have thought that a parlor game would have such frightening results? The evil spirit dogs Eleanor's footsteps for the entire book, so, yeah, thanks, mom, for messing around with stuff you are obviously not capable of handling.
I am trying to put my finger on why this story didn't work for me, and I think it was because there is so much going on. And because Eleanor is constantly leaping into danger. There are zombies lurching around the graveyard? Let's go check them out! There are headless corpses wandering the streets? Let's go out without a chaperon and see what we can find out. While all of the sneaking around showed that Eleanor was headstrong and wasn't going to take a backseat to anyone, it also proved that she lacked the one thing necessary for living a long and zombie-death free life. Yup, that common sense stuff. Eleanor needed to display a little more of it. A lot more, actually.
Another thing that drove me batty was how the characters snarled, shrieked, growled, and screamed at each other. All of those noises! Nobody just talked or held a quiet conversation. Nope! That's just a pet peeve of mine, though, and your mileage may vary.
There is a dreaded love triangle, between handsome, wealthy Clarence and Daniel, a boy from the wrong side of the tracks who is on the run from the law. He's a gifted inventor, though, and his devices help battle the zombies. I never liked Daniel, which was another impediment to my enjoyment of the book. I didn't like the way either potential love interest treated Eleanor, but Daniel's demeanor was particularly grating. Nicknaming her Empress, he was constantly dismissive of her, at least until the very end of the book when she saved his bacon. I don't know that I would have thrown myself into the midst of a zombie horde to save anybody in this book, other than Jie.
While Something Strange and Deadly failed to impress me, it will appeal to action lovers. If the book hadn't been so hyped for me, I think I would have enjoyed it more.

If you want your children to get the most from it, allow them to sit with you at the computer and choose the pictures that they would like. They are going to be more inclined to spend time coloring them when they have had some input about what they will look like.
Many parents like to print out enough to make small coloring books. It is faster than you think and a great gift that you can give to your child. Plus, you can feel great knowing that they will be using the pictures that they really like. As their parent you already know what will appeal to them the most and make them very excited.
With free coloring pages you can create a way for your kids to stay entertained. You won`t be hearing that they are bored. When it is too hot to play outside or bitter cold they need to have indoor activities. Coloring can help them to develop skills and it also helps them to stay quiet.
If you have very young children you may be placing them down for an afternoon nap. Older children can spend time with entertaining themselves with this fun activity. Then they won`t be creating noise that can make it harder for the little ones to get the rest they need. You can print out just a page or two at a time if you like.
Even though coloring books typically arent expensive, you will find they have plenty of pages that the kids simply skip over. With creating your own though, you can be certain every single page is going to be a hit. With single pages too each child can work on one of them independently instead of sharing the same coloring book.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — Last week Bruins winger Marco Sturm waived his no-trade clause for a few different teams, but a deal didn't go through.
So he has still been skating and practicing with his long-time Boston teammates in an attempt to return from last summer's knee surgery. Today he expressed displeasure with the unsettled situation that has him answering questions and phone calls from numerous sources while not knowing where he'll be playing this season.
"I'm happy I'm still here. But I'm not happy with the situation," said Sturm, who mixed in on a line with Mark Recchi, Blake Wheeler and Patrice Bergeron during practice at Ristuccia Arena. "It's been hard on me and my family too. It's not fun. But I try to make the best of it and then see what happens."
The Bruins would have to clear cap space to make room for a healthy Sturm, who said he's about 10 to 14 days away from returning to game action. Head coach Claude Julien said he saw Sturm get into some traffic during the practice and the forward looked more comfortable.
When asked directly if the Bruins had broached the subject of joining the Providence (AHL) farm club with him, Sturm said "No."

Retired doctor another candidate in NC Senate race
CLAYTON, NC (AP) — A retired physician is adding to the Republicans entering this year's race for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.
Dr. Edward Kryn of Clayton said late Tuesday he will seek the GOP nomination. At least seven Republicans have announced they're running in the May primary. The winner is expected to take on Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan in November.
Kryn was born in Canada and became an American citizen nine years ago. He said he's in the race because he believes his medical background working in the U.S. and Canada gives him expertise on medical issues unlike the other candidates.
Kryn said he'd seek major changes to the federal health care overhaul if elected. He says the law violates the religious liberties of groups opposed to some of its mandates.

Shooting Board Basics
A shooting board lets you trim cuts to perfection, one shaving at a time.
By Paul Sellers
Pages: 66-71
From the December 2006 issue #159
Buy this issue now
Many aids to hand-tool woodworking were actually fairly ingenious, very efficient and simple to use because they acted as positive guides to the tools. The shooting board in all its various forms is one such device.
The shooting board ensures perfect intersections between boards, whether flat boards or moulded and mitered trim. These tight joints were once a matter of course in the pre-compound-chop-saw era of woodworking.
Making a basic shooting board is a fairly simple process requiring minimal skill and time. Once you've made one, you will have it for a lifetime, and its accuracy is positively stunning provided you use a keenly sharpened, well-adjusted plane.

Monsanto's mobile lab mobilizes learning
Students at Dudley Elementary learned on top of wheels last Thursday when they toured Monsanto's mobile technology unit.
The unit, which showcases changes in plant breeding and biotechnology, was parked at Monsanto's Water Utilization Center south of Gothenburg.Monsanto officials said the 53-foot-long traveling unit, with 1,000 square feet of exhibit space, visits rural communities, agricultural trade shows and other special events across the country.
Ag educator Allan Cina of Monsanto led a tour for fifth graders.
Cina showed students robotics demonstrations, innovations in plant breeding such as insect prevention and better water utilization, how biotechnology is achieved and more.
The ag educator also told students how the walls of the learning lab rotate and how it takes six to seven hours to set up once they reach a new site.
Cina said the idea behind the learning lab is to take the research done by Monsanto to rural areas where people can see what's being done firsthand.

If you played in the Gatecrash Prerelease, I hope you enjoyed it. I only played in one 4-0 flight with Gruul because after the triple Pit Fight, double Rubblebelt Raiders, double Rubblehulk deck with Borborygmos Enraged and a light splash of white for Aurelia's Fury, there's nowhere to go but downhill.
Now we're on the verge of Gatecrash being legal for Constructed play, but that's not why you're here. No, you want flavorful Vorthos goodness, and I'm here to deliver. I'll be looking at individual cards in Gatecrash by print order number and giving brief notes when I have something interesting to say. There are a number of Vorthos role-players in Gatecrash, but there are also plenty of cards that shine...as well as a few Brian Scalabrine wannabes. Let's get to it.
Angelic Edict - The "don't call it an anti-Diabolic Edict" uses a clever perspective in the art and the flavor text is chilling. I can almost imagine the prisoner shouting to be let go and the angels saying, "Done."
Assault Griffin - New artist Eric Velhagen slipped under my radar last time with Horncaller's Chant. He's back with a single illustration in Gatecrash with Assault Griffin. His loose and suggestive art style isn't necessarily to my taste, but now that I have a pattern to recognize, I'll know his future works far more easily than a number of current Magic artists.
Basilica Guards and Blind Obedience - Top marks for these pieces of Orzhov flavor text. The one-liner is hard to pull off, but Basilica Guards succeeds.
Boros Elite - Nice flavor text in a vacuum, but what does fighting "among the rank and file" have to do with a Boros Elite?
Debtor's Pulpit - The name doesn't fit the function. A pulpit is a place of power, not weakness. "Debtor's Pew" would've been a better fit.
Frontline Medic - I know this one's been criticized for the second ability feeling "tacked-on," but I don't object to it. The Medic protects his own on offense as part of a team, and when he has to save his people alone, he has to sacrifice himself to do it. Makes sense to me!
Knight of Obligation - Mental math while dueling? Impressive. There's something slightly off about the flavor text, though. I want to use "damages" instead of "interest" while the Knight is fighting a vandal, for instance.
Knight Watch - Ok, I laughed at the name. There's something screwy about the way the name and art and flavor text come together, though. "Knight Watch" goes for a belly laugh, the picture has drier humor, and the flavor text is drier still.
Murder Investigation - The flavor text is a bit labored, but points on the art for sanely dressed female Boros soldiers.
Righteous Charge - Thumbs-up from me for the quote. Humor done right in my book.
Smite - See above.
Syndic of Tithes - The flavor text is a little too close to Solemn Offering's line for comfort. If they weren't both posted notices, I'd be more forgiving.
Aetherize - I'll give points for the flavor text...right before taking them away for the far-too-fanservice art.
Agoraphobia - I don't know who injected this much humor into the set, but I like it.
Diluvian Primordial - I love spelling bee words as much as the next language geek, but I will never, ever say this card's name out loud if I can help it. It's more complicated than an Avril Lavigne marathon.
Enter the Infinite - Terese Nielsen's abstraction is perfect for a jaw-dropping card like this.
Gridlock - Perhaps the most "modern" word ever used to title a Magic card—it dates to the 1970s. It has a great urban feel, but is it too modern for Magic? The jury's out.
Leyline Phantom - While Magic's cards don't tell a sequential story, this card does a wonderful job of setting up Dragon's Maze.
Mindeye Drake - This card is notable only for how generic it is. The X-Y-Z name, the washed-out art, the trifling flavor text...unfortunate.
Rapid Hybridization - A virtual Pongify clone, but Simic-ed up to make a Frog Lizard into an ape. The "You're welcome." at the end suggests the past Simic arrogance isn't all in the past.
Scatter Arc - I think I was supposed to chuckle at the techno-babble flavor text. I laughed instead.
Simic Manipulator - I wasn't too impressed with the art at first glance. Then I realized it had tentacles, which is a whole other level of creepy. Maciej Kuciara is making his Magic debut with Gatecrash, and Simic Manipulator is the best of a group of three that includes Holy Mantle and Fortress Cyclops.
Totally Lost - I don't think I've ever wanted to cuddle a homunculus and say, "There, there" before. David Palumbo pulled this one off well.
Corpse Blockade - Excellent creepy harmony of art and flavor text.
Devour Flesh - The flavor text would've been better in first-person. "If I am what I eat, and I want to stay human..."
Grisly Spectacle - There's far more truth in this flavor text than I care to think about.
Smog Elemental - Like Gridlock, "smog" is a post-industrial coinage, this one from the turn of the 20th century. Every Magic setting bends the rules in some way, and words such as gridlock and smog point to the nature of Ravnica's quirks.
Thrull Parasite - I don't usually associate tax collectors with subtlety and am not sure whether that's the point. That's a bad place for flavor text to leave me.
Act of Treason - Where's the treason? All I see is a plus-size male model who's just switched from posing for a Buddha to a body modification photo shoot. Excuse me while I find some brain bleach... That's better.
Firefist Striker - Martial tip from the School of Reality: lead with your large metallic weapon, not your unarmored fist. Thanks!
Five-Alarm Fire - Another evocative name from the post-industrial past, this one from the second half of the 19th century.
Hellraiser Goblin - The Goblin making his own arch is funny enough, but the human looking to the side is what really sells the art.
Homing Lightning - Ral Zarek sighting! If he's not a planeswalker card in Dragon's Maze, I'll be disappointed. The whole block's been set up for him to be one.
Madcap Skills - Perhaps I'd appreciate this card and its name's 1337speak pun more if the dude in the art didn't look like he was made of cheddar sausages. Just saying.
Mugging - From the folks who brought you Touched by an Angel, it's Mugged by a Minotaur. "I'm a minotaur...sent by Gruul...to relieve you of your money."
Skinbrand Goblin - Niv-Mizzet doesn't want much, does he?
Skullcrack - A cute little card with just the right dose of snark in the flavor text.
Tin Street Market - I love the quote and the name, but I'm not sure they fit on a red card...and if the Azorius-rooted character Lavinia loves the people of Tin Street, where are they?
Crocanura - Someone had way too much fun coming up with these wacky creature combinations. The art on this one—a Frog-tongued toothy Crocodile!—is creepy in a good way.
Forced Adaptation - Well, that's one way to rationalize biological experimentation...
Miming Slime - Say it out loud a few times, and it'll grow on you like the ooze it makes.
Predator's Rapport - The first part of Domri Rade's storyunfolds here on Uncharted Realms, and I can't wait to see the rest.
Alms Beast - I love this quote and its echoes of "company scrip." Who wants to bet the prices are inflated at Orzhov stores?
Boros Charm - The quote is a quality summation of Boros at its best.
Dimir Charm - Shown not on a figure or an object but an entire ceiling, the Dimir Charm looms large on this piece. Again, the quote is a strong summation of Dimir.
Domri Rade - On a creature card I wouldn't notice Domri Rade's height, but in the context of planeswalkers that routinely fill and even overlap their text boxes, Domri Rade is well contained. He's not a child, but he's short... He looks sort of like a Magic-ified version of an MMA bantamweight.
Gruul Charm - The placement of the symbol is appropriate, but after so much time spent building up the Gruul as "not just savages," the Borborygmos quote feels weird. I wouldn't have minded seeing one of the old standbys here: "Crush them!" or "We eat!"
Kingpin's Pet - Inevitable and always in favor of the Orzhov, right?
Merciless Eviction - After reading this, I do not want to mess with the Ghost Council.
Mortus Strider - Wow, this is some creepy artwork. I'd love to see this wallpaper-size.
One Thousand Lashes - That thrull is having way too much fun.
Ordruun Veteran - Apparently simple flavor text is a reminder that inter-guild romance does happen; Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord previously was married to a woman from Selesnya and has a majority-elf, one-quarter-human child according to the original Ravnica novels.
Orzhov Charm - A fitting location for the Charm on a gaudy mask-like idol. It's too bad the text is so verbose that there's no room for a quote.
Ruination Wurm - It's funny that Ravnica's architects get so few mentions when they're so indispensable to the plane. The quote is clever, and I enjoy it.
Shambleshark - There's this Fish Crab, and it attacked my Vorthos weak point for massive damage.
Simic Charm - This art grew on me after a while. The Art Nouveau swirls of the Simic symbol complement the natural curves of the ooze.
Skyknight Legionnaire - Was Anthony Palumbo trying to objectify the Legionnaire, or did he merely succeed with the weird lean-back pose and suggestive armor? This one creeps me out, and not in a good way.
Zhur-Taa Swine - It's surprisingly rare that family is mentioned in Magic. The Swine's flavor text is one of the few such on-card references I can remember.
Arrows of Justice - ... And if a trainee misses, a lifted coin-purse is the least of your worries.
Beckon Apparition - The quote receives my "wish I'd written that" seal of approval.
Gift of Orzhova - Those stained glass-colored wings are delightfully tacky and all Orzhov.
Merfolk of the Depths - As far as retcons go, this "how merfolk came to be on Ravnica" quote is pleasantly smooth.
Dimir Keyrune - Someday, a player is going to activate two Dimir Keyrunes and tap them to use Cryptic Gateway's ability to put a Mindleech Mass onto the battlefield. Two keys that slip through every lock meeting a lock that changes to fit each key...that would lead to madness, yes?
Glaring Spotlight - There's something off about the flavor here, like that major scale reworking of "Losing My Religion." I think it's the asymmetry of the abilities; if the Glaring Spotlight can make your creatures unblockable, then why can't it make the opponent's creatures blockable?
Razortip Whip - Left unsaid by the captain: the Razortip Whip is one of the few implements found in a Rakdos revue that can be depicted in a game for people as young as 13.
Riot Gear - I love the ambiguity of the name...is it equipment to stop a riot or start one?
Breeding Pool - A great use of the "rule of three" in the flavor text to build up the effect. Note how the writer's first two sentences have the exact same rhythm when spoken.
Godless Shrine - Unlike the Simic, the Orzhov only get one line for their rare dual land, but it's a doozy.
Orzhov Guildgate - Easily the funniest of the Guildgates in this set and among the most true to its guild.
Thespian's Stage - I love me some John Avon, and he delivered with the art here. The callback to the events of the original Ravnica block, further elaborated in an Uncharted Realms column, adds a pleasant nostalgia factor to a set that doesn't always acknowledge its roots.
I hope you've enjoyed these brief takes on the flavorful cards of Gatecrash. As I look ahead to Dragon's Maze, I'm counting on Wizards to finish the work Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash started with a flavorful small set. While not every card in Gatecrash is a winner (Mindeye Drake, I'm looking at you), I like the set as a whole, and I'll have fun playing with its cards in the eighteen or so months ahead.
As always, thanks for reading.

I am Gruul. It's the least popularguildin the standings and picked on by the rest of Ravnica...reminds me of my high school years.

Can diet pills help you lose weight?
Checkup on Health
Posted Nov. 9, 2011
Everyone knows that a combination of diet and exercise is a basic way to lose weight for many people. But many of us have tried this, over and over again, without lasting success. Still, we know it's important to take off those extra pounds, both for the sake of our physical health and our state of mind.
Can diet pills help us meet our goals?
Judith Stern is a professor of nutrition and internal medicine at UC Davis. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences' prestigious Institute of Medicine and a co-founder of the nonprofit American Obesity Association and the North American Association for Obesity (now The Obesity Society).
Drugs can be a help in obesity treatment, but they are not a magic bullet that allows us to shed pounds effortlessly. A small minority of people do find them a helpful adjunct to a diet and exercise program. In a study of 2,800 people who lost at least 30 pounds and kept them off for over a year, only 4 percent did it with the use of medications. Another approach is to lose some weight and use medication to help keep the weight off.
I've seen people helped with diet drugs in the short run, but weight does tend to bounce back — despite best intentions and efforts to maintain the hard-won weight loss.
I compare this phenomenon to a person who is diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on medications to bring it down. It works, but don't expect the blood pressure to stay low when you go off the medications! Our bodies have a strong maintenance system that's difficult to override, even when it's sometimes not in our best interest.
It's also important to remember that no one drug works for all people — just as one drug rarely works to control everyone's blood glucose or blood pressure.
While today's weight-loss drugs are not very effective, I do believe that better medications will emerge in the future — allowing physicians to target drugs to individuals as they do, say, with cholesterol medication. As alluded to above, it is likely that these medications will have to be used over the long term.
Limited prescription options
The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, treats obesity drugs differently than it does other drugs. There are only two prescription drugs that are FDA-approved for longer-term use for weight loss (several others are approved only for short-term use over a few months). Both of the longer-term drugs are only recommended for people who are significantly obese.
Sibutramine (trade name Meridia) increases metabolism and affects serotonin and other neurotransmitters. People report they feel full and more energetic. Because it can increase blood pressure, it must not be used in people with hypertension, and blood pressure must be regularly monitored while using the medication. People with heart disease, stroke and heart rhythm disturbances must also avoid the medication, and it must not be used in combination with decongestants, bronchodilators (used for asthma) or MAO inhibitors (medications used against depression). It is not particularly effective in the long run. FDA requested that Abbott Labs voluntarily with draw Merida due to concerns about increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. In October 2010, Abbott Labs agreed to do so.
The FDA has found undeclared and unapproved sibutramine in some specific dietary supplements, which has prompted voluntary recalls.
Orlistat (trade name Xenical) has helped people to achieve only mild weight loss in studies. It blocks the action of lipase, an enzyme in the intestine that breaks down fat. As a result, 30 percent of fat eaten is not absorbed and is excreted in the stool. It sometimes causes gastrointestinal problems, including a lot of gas, an oily discharge and a frequent need to have bowel movements.
The FDA also approved this drug at a lower dose for over-the-counter use by adults (under the trade name Alli). It was the first and only over-the-counter diet drug to win approval from the agency.
If you try over-the-counter weight-loss remedies, discuss them with your doctor first. Many of them can have profound effects on your health in ways you might not predict.
Beware over-the-counter remedies
There are numerous weight-loss remedies available over the counter. But let the buyer beware! Medications are medications, whether or not they are herbal, "natural" or under the jurisdiction of the FDA.
I recommend that if you try any of these alternatives, you do so carefully. Don't combine them with one another or with other medications, and most importantly, discuss them with your doctor. Many of them can have profound effects on your health in ways you might not predict. Some simply don't work, despite testimonials where people are paid significant amounts of money for losing weight.
Here are some common — or once-common — over-the-counter dietary aids, including some that are now restricted:
Phenylpropanolamine or PPA, once also an active ingredient in decongestants. It has a mild appetite-suppressing effect that usually does not work for long. It should never be used with other decongestants and may cause elevated blood pressure and increase the risk for stroke. In the United States, PPA is no longer sold without a prescription after studies associated it with increased risk of stroke.
Ephedrine, ephedra or ma huang, a component in adrenaline. It can cause a rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and even psychosis and seizures. There have been some reported deaths attributed to its use. Do not use these products! After FDA banned PPA, many diet-pill makers reformulated their products with ephedra. However, dietary supplements that contain ephedra have been banned in the U.S. since April 2004, after the FDA determined that ephedra posed an unreasonable risk to those who used it.
Chitosan, a component from shellfish that is touted as a "fat trapper." I wouldn't waste your money on this one: I have published three different studies that show that the only thing it traps is your money. For example, one study suggested it would take more than seven months to lose a pound of body fat via the effects of chitosan. For women, no fat was trapped.
Some dietary herbal teas contain ingredients that work as laxatives. Over time, they can cause chronic pain and constipation. People then become dependent on their use for bowel movements. However, the Chinese used strong Oolong tea to "control weight" — about 1 ½ quarts a day.
Don't get discouraged. Once exercise becomes a habit, you'll realize why it's one "pill" you'll want to swallow for the rest of your life.
Exercise is crucial, no matter what
While drugs may be part of the answer to a weight problem for a few people, there's one method I'd recommend for everyone: exercise. It's nearly impossible to maintain weight loss without it. And regardless of one's weight, the other health benefits it provides are many.
To begin:
- Set your own goals.
- Try exercising five or six days a week.
- To help, wear a pedometer and record how many steps that you walk a day.
- If you walk 3,000 steps daily, gradually add another 500 steps every week until you reach your goal.
Don't get discouraged. Once exercise becomes a habit, you'll realize why it's one "pill" you'll want to swallow for the rest of your life.
Finally, weight loss is not for everyone. You can be healthier by being physically active and eating a healthy diet — fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean fish, meat or tofu and foods high in calcium like dairy products. Go easy on fried foods.
And ... there are some foods that you love and may not want to give up when you're controlling your weight. These may have to be eaten in limited quantities. For example, I believe that chocolate is an "honorary vitamin" and I must have a little a day not to become "deficient." Of course, moderation is the key here — you'll need to program yourself to have just a little bit.
Remember: for any weight-loss plan, it helps to have a support group.
Bottom line, there is no one plan to fit everyone.

NPR's business news starts with French banks stirring up more anxiety.
(Soundbite of music)
GREENE: French bank stocks have plummeted today. In fact, stocks across Europe are down sharply. A major concern is the possibility of a credit rating downgrade for France's top banks. News reports say Moody's Investors Service may cut its rating on major banks in the country because of their exposure to Greek government debt.
There's also more talk today of a Greek government default. Shares in one top French bank, Societe Generale, have lost half their value since the beginning of August. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Holiday Hoops Mission Briefing: Oregon State In The Diamond Head ClassicPosted by Connor Pelton (@ConnorPelton28) on December 21st, 2013
One Pac-12 early-season tournament remains, and we break down the road ahead this Christmas for Oregon State.
What They've Done So Far: If you could use one word to describe the start to Oregon State's season, strange would fit the bill. The Beavers opened with a loss to now 4-5 Coppin State, but they were without starting forward Devon Collier, who is averaging 21.3 PPG and 9.6 RPG, who served a one game suspension because of a failed drug test administered during the summer. They have since won six of their last seven, two of which coming against possible NCAA Tournament teams in Maryland and Towson.
First Round Preview: The Beavers kickoff play in Honolulu on Sunday afternoon against Akron. Everything goes through senior forward Demetrius Treadwell for the Zips, who averages 14.6 PPG. But while Treadwell dominates the post, there are plenty of other targets that the soft Beaver defense will have to keep an eye on. Sophomore small forward Reggie McAdams has good range and has knocked down 12 of 25 three-point attempts for a 48% clip. Another senior big, Quincy Diggs is a top ten player in the MAC and can play any position except center. Diggs is the team's second leading scorer, but his defense his key. When playing man, expect head coach Keith Dambrot to put him on the Beavers' senior Roberto Nelson, who leads the team with 22.1 PPG. If the Zips have any shot of an at-large bid come March, they will need a win here, so I expect them to come out firing on all cylinders. This one should come down to a battle between Collier and Treadwell in the paint. The winner of that battle advances into the winner's bracket. Definitely a game to watch late Sunday as you enter your Christmas vacation.
Potential Later Round Matchup: Considering the Beavers tend to play up to their competition, and that they will have a decided home court advantage with at least 300 Oregon State fans making the trip with the football team playing in the Hawaii Bowl two days later, I'm going to project a tight win and send them into a semifinal matchup, most likely against #17 Iowa State, who faces 5-4 George Mason in its opener. I don't see the Beavs springing a Top 20 upset, however, and if the bracket holds to form, they would face Boise State in the third place game (less than 24 hours after the Beavers and Broncos meet on the gridiron across the way at Aloha Stadium). Another possible choice in that third game is Saint Mary's, who comes to the Islands boasting a 9-0 record.
Outlook: For the Beavers to have any decent chance at the NCAA Tournament, they need two wins in Honolulu. And with teams like Southern Illinois Edwardsville and Arkansas-Pine Bluff dragging down Oregon State's RPI, a trip to the winner's bracket is also a must. A loss to Akron would mean George Mason on day two and most likely Hawaii in the final game, much less appealing games. You can catch Oregon State's opener at 4:45 PM Pacific on Sunday on ESPNU.

Zut Alors! It's the merveilleuse Montreal-born Jennifer Finnigan (Better With You) joining Janet to celebrate the thrill of a good scary movie, the magic of a potluck, and how a little girl who wanted to be a nun ended up winning three daytime Emmys.
The JV Club #30: Jennifer Finnigan
Jennifer Finnigan is one of those people that I only have positive thoughts about. Sure, I'm a fan of other people who grew up in Montreal, but there's something about the connection to a fixture of my childhood that makes me want to root for her even more (same goes with Melissa Auf der Maur).
And I have to say, aside from my family, the food the thing I miss most about Montreal. You can find poutine anywhere these days, but there's something about a Montreal bagel that can't be exported.
Let me join the chorus of excitement over The Mixed-Up Files mention! Also wonderful to hear from another child of a radio dad!
Great comments so far, friends! Renee- Pet Sematary scared the pants off me as well. Curtis, I never dressed as Raggedy Ann but one year I did dress as Wee Willy Winky. But for the life of me I can't remember what that even entailed!!
There's never a wrong time to go to Montréal. Well, except Christmas because its climate is too warm to guarantee a white Xmas.
Don't forget, WATCHER IN THE WOODS!!!!!
Loved the Halloween talk! About four years ago I dressed up as George Michael, so I love the gender bending aspect to the holiday. The horror movie talk was also great. I saw Pet Semetary for the for time at a sleep over, and my friend had a cat, so needless to say I did not sleep well that night.
On the topic of Halloween costumes – I, for some reason, picture Janet dressed as Raggedy Ann…
So many good mentions in this episode!! Specifically loved the reference to The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler — hadn't thought of that book in years!! I also couldn't help but laugh when I shouted out (to no one) "The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo" right before Jen said the name of the show. I've enjoyed every single episode so far but this one had me smiling the most, I think! 🙂
FROM THE MIXED-UP FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER had its kids living in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC…there was a weak film version best known as THE HIDEAWAYS (with Ingrid Bergman as Frankweiler), but (Ms.) E. L. Konigsburg's novel is vastly better (the Rosie O'Donnell film of HARRIET THE SPY is a much worse adaptation…and O'Donnell v. Bergman, after all).
For that matter, if you haven't yet, Daphne Du Maurier's "The Birds" is much better than that movie drawn from it, too…
Shelby Wu! Holy cow, I haven't thought of that show in AGES.

Look who's back with a brand new rap! Yes, it's me. So, two months off without even a peep; who gives a rat's ass. The main reason I have had off is revision. You know, that period when you forget everything and try and drastically learn the whole course in a couple of months – yes, that's revision.
I don't know how much you know about me, but I study Computing and IT, also known as nerd studies. They try and convince me that a bunch of 1s and 0s is how computers work. All I know is that if we were in maths, and teacher said, "What's 110110 + 111000," the answer aint redtube. But that's a crazy idea isn't it? You get all these ones and all these zeroes, and suddenly you have windows 8. I say we stick a two in there and really fuck things up.
(sorry if I'm boring you)
So yeah, the idea comes from 1s and 0s being like a light switch. You got a 1 when the light is on, and a 0 when it is off. I'd like to see Bill Gates' face when he opens up my computer and asks, "what's that?" – It's a fucking dimmer switch, that's what it is. "Well, what does it do?" – it makes the light go as bright or dim as you like, does it take a billion dollars to tell you that?
(still rambling about computers)
They say that the computers that sent the man to the moon have the same processing power as a pocket calculator. What brilliant person decided to put a rocket guidance system on a calculator? I'll tell you what mine has – a build in solar panel in case it runs out of batteries. Should have paid the extra quid, and then I could have gone to the moon. But seriously, the same power as a pocket calc? If it's that easy to go to the moon, then why haven't they gone back? Well, it's all down to a delicate recipe of one part petrol prices, and one part health and safety.
It aint 50 pence a gallon anymore! And the moment you stick a label on it saying 'liable to blow up unless we get lucky', people aren't too happy. Let's face it, that's why we left the space race – too much bloody paperwork. Although, to be fair, we would have had a Dreamliner incident. Obviously someone forgot the 'does not catch fire' tickbox on the paperwork.
(and on to the Dreamliner)
But really, after such a devastating series of tests, who on earth let it fly? "Right, we're going to launch a plane, but it might catch fire, and engines might not work all of the time." I bet someone got a hell of a shouting at for that one. It's like Rolls Royce turning around and saying, "Yes, all the luxury of Rolls Royce, but we've put a moped engine in the front, and Kim Jong-un in the boot."
(moving on)
So, July already, I fell asleep just after writing my last blog in May, and I've only just woken up again. Just messing (because you hadn't already guessed that). July though! The longest day has come and gone and now we're on the back 9. I can already hear some of you going, "This moron knows there's 12 months in a year, right?" Of course I do! It's a golf saying, idiots. "Hmm, thought they always shouted 'four'."
So yes, like I said, I've had 2 months off. So, me being the nice and likeable person that I am, decided to give you a double dose of the D Wulf magic. Sure, that sounds slightly rude, but I was only talking about the blog (sorry to ruin your day).
Yeah, so who watched the agonising men's final of Wimbledon? Yes, the tense dance between the Serbian and the British. And then, just as Murray won, the camera pans over, and an official looking person changes his passport to say 'British'.
But seriously, who on earth made up the scoring system in tennis? 15, 30, 40? It's like they went round a table in Norfolk, and everyone was counting their fingers.
No wonder kids are so bad at maths, it's all tennis' fault! Then again, ask them how many fries are in a happy meal and they get it dead right every time.
Child obesity seems to be all you hear about nowadays though. All over the papers, fattest in Europe blah blah blah. Well, while other countries criticise, we're just waiting for eating to be an Olympic sport. You can move over Americans, 'cos we got a 12 year old powerhouse who's gonna sink that golden burger! Imagine that though, on one side of the field you have sprinters doing the 100m in 8 seconds, you got fatties on the other side doing 100 burgers in 8 seconds. To be fair, that would be the greatest sport ever. Or, just blow away the record books and stick a burger at the end of the 100m – all of a sudden you have a competitor whose weight is greater than all of the other competitors combined, but can still run it in under 7 seconds; sounds like a plan!
Whilst obesity is becoming a problem in society, a recurring story that does make me laugh is the one about micropigs. Every now and again on Daybreak, you get some old dear, "I thought I was buying a micropig, then just two weeks later, he couldn't fit through the door." Seriously, when will these people learn? They have just found a pig, called it a 'micropig' and stolen a couple hundred quid off you. Nothing more, nothing less.
So yeah, that's pretty much it for the epic return of Pesto Lashing and Waiter Bashing. I don't know if you were expecting something funnier, but this is all you got. And who knows when I will post again (like a shit villain really, "when will I strike again"). When will I strike the keys again, and post a delicious recipe of words? Who knows!
Enough, rambling, see you all soon. Maybe a week, maybe a month. All I can say is … keep smiling!

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

News releases concerning Tulane Law School, its faculty, staff, students, and programs are posted here. For more information, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
February 14, 2013
Jim Letten, the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, will join Tulane Law School in a newly created leadership role as Assistant Dean for Experiential Learning.
Letten will lead a major effort at Tulane to expand practical skills training for law students. In addition to coordinating the law school's existing skills programs, Letten will spearhead new efforts to enlist legal employers and alumni in creating additional opportunities for students to learn through simulation courses and supervised practical experience.
Law School Dean David Meyer described Letten's appointment as a bold statement of Tulane's intentions to lead a national movement to remake legal education.
"Tulane is already at the forefront of innovative efforts to give students a stronger grounding in law practice while in law school," Meyer said. "With his deep experience and national leadership, Jim Letten is uniquely qualified to spearhead that effort and ensure that Tulane continues to be recognized nationally for its innovation in skills training."
"Over the past two years, Tulane Law School has dramatically expanded its externship program, sending hundreds of students into field placements around the world, and launched a first-of-its-kind, immersion boot camp that simulates life as a young lawyer," Meyer said. The lawyering-skills boot camp, launched in January 2011, won Tulane Law School recognition last fall as one of the nation's "20 Most Innovative Law Schools" by National Jurist magazine. The program allows students to experience life as a young lawyer working on a simulated business transaction or case in the civil or criminal courts, and is taught by more than 100 lawyers from across the country.
"In the coming months, we will be launching additional initiatives to expand students' opportunities to gain practical lawyering skills and Jim Letten is ideally qualified to guide those efforts," Meyer said. "We are ensuring that Tulane lawyers are recognized everywhere as both globally sophisticated and able to deliver value to clients from the very start of their careers."
Speaking to his appointment at Tulane Law School, Letten stated:
"The opportunity to serve in a new and innovative leadership role at my alma mater – especially in forging and advancing innovative strategies to enhance the practical skills of young lawyers facing the ever-changing challenges of the profession – is an honor for which I am extremely grateful. Moreover, working with Law School Dean David Meyer and his tremendous team of professionals is a privilege for me both personally and professionally. My thanks go to University President Scott Cowen, Law School Dean Meyer and those educators at Tulane who have extended this trust and opportunity to me."
Letten is expected to start in his new position this month.
Prior to stepping down in December 2012, Letten had been the longest-serving U.S. Attorney in the nation and was one of only three United States Attorneys in the country appointed to the position by successive presidents from different parties. After serving as interim U.S. Attorney, Letten was first nominated by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the full U.S. Senate, and later reappointed by President Barack Obama. In all, Letten spent more than 11 ½ continuous years as U.S. Attorney.
As United States Attorney, Letten served on the Attorney General's Advisory Committee, chaired the Attorney General's Subcommittee on Violent and Organized Crime and co-chaired the Attorney General's policy review panel on capital punishment. He served on the Attorney General's Subcommittees on Terrorism and National Security and Environmental Issues, and also served as the Director of the National Center for Disaster Fraud.
Before being appointed U.S. Attorney, Letten had been the First Assistant U.S. Attorney in the office and served as lead counsel in the investigation and four-month trial and conviction of former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards. Additionally, Letten had previously served on and later led the Justice Department's Organized Crime and Racketeering Strike Force in New Orleans. During his nearly 34-year legal career, he has litigated literally hundreds of both jury and bench trials in both Federal and State courts.
Before becoming a federal prosecutor, Letten spent a total of six years as an assistant district attorney and in private law practice in New Orleans. He graduated from Tulane Law School in 1979 and over his career has lectured and presented extensively on a variety of legal topics at the Tulane Law School, as well as at other institutions including the U.S. Department of Justice National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina. In the years following Hurricane Katrina, he has presented numerous lectures on crisis management and continuity of operations across the United States.
Letten has received scores of awards, including the Attorney General's Medallion for Distinguished Service for his leadership following Hurricane Katrina, the Attorney General's Awarded for Excellence in Litigation following the trial and conviction of the former Louisiana Governor, and recently the Anti-Defamation League's 2010 Torch of Liberty Award for advancing civil rights, among many others.
In addition to his lengthy and distinguished legal career, Letten served in the United States Naval Reserve for 20 years, having retired as a Commander. During his service, Letten was an intelligence officer, serving in foreign counter intelligence; as an intelligence analyst; squadron intelligence officer; and over 12 years as an NCIS Agent. During an assignment in Germany at U.S. European Command, Letten worked on researching and drafting early protocol studies for what eventually became the International War Crimes Tribunal.
Founded in 1847, Tulane is the 12th oldest law school in the United States and is recognized for its leading strength in international and comparative law, maritime law, environmental law, and sports law. It also offers six in-house legal clinics, where students are able to represent clients in actual legal matters involving domestic violence, criminal law, civil litigation, juvenile justice, environmental law, and legislative advocacy.

Swedish CleanSpace One satellite set to tidy up space junk
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Science
We've been hitting up space like a creeper hits up his Facebook crush. The thing is, a creeper leaves no traces of what they're doing, but that can't be said for our space explorations. Ever since our first trip, we've been leaving bits and pieces behind. Over the years, left untreated, this has become a problem. Now, the folks at the Swiss Space Center at EPFL (the Federal Institute for Technology in Lausanne) are looking to clean up with the development of satellites that have a case of OCD.
The Swiss team has designed a 'janitor' satellite, which will roam space and collect debris. As the satellites return to earth, the debris will be burned as it re-enters the atmosphere. CleanSpace One is a series of satellites that are set to launch within the next three to five years. Scientists are working on a claw-like feature that can grab debris that's traveling at speeds reaching 17,000 miles per hour. If this projects proves to be successful, an estimated 16,000 pieces of space junk could be removed.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A massive mountain wildfire that made Las Vegas smell like a campfire destroyed six structures at a desert ranch and left two of the more than a thousand firefighting staff members with minor injuries, officials said Wednesday.
It wasn't immediately clear if any homes were destroyed on the ranch several miles from woodsy Mount Charleston hamlets where crews were protecting more than 400 homes, a canyon hotel and a scenic alpine lodge and cabins.
One of the buildings that burned in the Carpenter 1 fire was a commercial structure at Prospect Springs, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Suzanne Shelp said.
More than 270 additional firefighters arrived Tuesday to help battle the fire sparked by lightning July 1, bringing to 1,077 the number of people fighting the blaze about 25 miles northwest of downtown Las Vegas. One firefighter injured a knee on Tuesday and another camp support staff member suffered heat illness, Shelp said.
Crews set backfires, cleared undergrowth and positioned more than 50 fire engines to protect homes in the Rainbow, Echo and Old Town areas in Kyle Canyon. But the fire grew about 9 square miles and overall containment dropped from 15 percent to 10 percent as erratic gusts of wind pushed flames up canyons, down the mountain and across state Route 157.
The main highway in and out of the evacuated Kyle Canyon area was briefly cut off, but crews bulldozed a fire line to protect the road, Shelp said. No homes in the canyon burned.
Overnight mapping put the fire at 25,524 acres, or almost 40 square miles, Shelp said.
"The big factor today will be what the wind will do, because we're still hot and dry," she said Wednesday.
Las Vegas daytime highs were expected to reach 107 degrees, while temperatures were expected to be in the mid-70s at mountain firefighting elevations of from 5,000 to 9,000 feet above sea level. The National Weather Service said there was a possibility of thunderstorms, although humidity during the morning remained a crackling-dry 11 percent.
With a visible pall over Las Vegas, building managers apologized to office workers about the smoky indoor smell and Clark County officials issued an air quality alert. It warned of unhealthy air pollution levels and advised people with respiratory diseases, bronchitis and asthma to stay indoors.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has promised to reimburse Nevada for 75 percent of the cost of the fire, which was growing by more than $1 million a day. Fire officials said late Tuesday the amount topped $6.2 million.
Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid spoke Wednesday on the floor of the Senate about the fires, telling colleagues that firefighters were working hard, "but the progress we were making was erased yesterday."
The wildfire near Las Vegas is the top firefighting priority in the West, fire officials said.
In northern Nevada, officials on Wednesday reported that more than 1,060 firefighters reached 40 percent containment of the more than 40-square-mile Bison fire in the mountains near Gardnerville and Carson City. The cost of battling the since it started with a July 4 lightning strike climbed to $4.8 million.
Almost 100 structures were threatened, fire spokeswoman Lisa Ross said Wednesday, and 78 homes were evacuated after Lyon County sheriff's deputies went door-to-door Tuesday asking people in to leave Pipeline Canyon. Elected officials in Douglas County declared a state of emergency to enable the county to seek more state and federal assistance.
Fire spokeswoman Elayn Briggs said crews made progress overnight but worried that gusty afternoon winds could undo their efforts.
"They were able to hold the fire above the homes," she said. "Today's day shift is out there doing the same thing."
In other wildfires burning in the West:
— In Arizona, residents were allowed to return Tuesday to about 100 of the 200 homes evacuated due to a wildfire in Kearny, located 73 miles southeast of Phoenix. Officials reported 5 percent containment of the fire after it burned about 300 acres of dense vegetation and one house since it was sparked by lightning on Monday.
— In Northern California, more than 800 firefighters battled a fire in the El Dorado National Forest west of South Lake Tahoe that spread to almost 1 square mile but was about 80 percent contained. A shed and an outhouse burned, but no homes were threatened by the fire that may have been sparked Monday by a broken axle from a motorhome towing a truck. All lanes along Highway 50 reopened Tuesday.
— In Southern California, cooler and calm weather helped slow an 11-square-mile wildfire that destroyed at least 100 buildings at a mountain camp near Julian, 60 miles east of San Diego. The blaze was 40 percent contained Wednesday, and state fire spokesman Mike Mohler said a chance of thunderstorms later in the day could wet down hot spots. Evacuation orders remained in effect for 120 buildings, mostly empty vacation cabins, and campgrounds in the Cleveland National Forest remained closed.
— In southern Colorado, the East Peak Fire was declared 100 percent contained Tuesday. The lightning-sparked fire burned 13 homes.

Prosecutor leaves to be law guardian
Correction: Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Bauscher left the Albany County District Attorney's office to be a full-time law guardian. Her departure was unrelated to an ethics complaint. A headline in Friday's newspaper was incorrect.
ALBANY — An Albany County prosecutor is leaving her job after being accused of a conflict of interest for privately representing the wife of a man being prosecuted by her office.
Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Bauscher's last day in District Attorney David Soares' office will be Friday.
Her departure comes after a local attorney complained that his client was the victim of a "tainted prosecution" because the man never knew the private attorney for his wife in their divorce and custody case was also a prosecutor for Soares.
"The ethical onus is on the district attorney's office to establish internal office procedures to assure that such conflicts do not exist," Michael Katzer, the Slingerlands-based attorney for Brandon Clark of Berne, stated in a memo filed with the Berne Town Court in April.
In June 2011, Clark pleaded guilty to harassment in Town Court while facing charges that he assaulted his wife the prior January by biting her wrist. The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Carmen Warner, a co-worker of Bauscher, who had been privately representing Clark's wife, Veronica, since January 2011.
In court papers, Katzer argued that Brandon Clark had no opportunity to challenge his conviction because at the time of his guilty plea he was unaware of Bauscher's "conflicted situation." Katzer asked the town judge to vacate the guilty plea to "restore a sense of justice and fairness to this tainted prosecution."
Katzer said his client's wife could have gained leverage in their court battle by having Bauscher as her attorney because his conviction could help her gain custody of their two children. And he said Bauscher could have gained financially. He said she requested $15,725 in attorney fees from the husband in the divorce case.
Soares' office argued in court papers that Warner handled the prosecution of Brandon Clark with "no knowledge whatsoever" of Bauscher's representation of his wife.
In a sworn affidavit, Bauscher, 34, said her private representation of the wife had no effect on the husband's criminal case — and that she asked Brandon Clark's initial lawyer, James Long, if he wanted a special prosecutor.
"I am not the assistant district attorney assigned to Berne Town Court and have had no contact with that court or the ADA assigned to that court regarding this case," Bauscher stated. "Never did I withhold that I was an assistant district attorney in Albany County and both of the defendant's attorneys were aware of the fact I was an ADA in Albany County long before the defendant entered into a plea."
On Thursday, Soares' office acknowledged Bauscher's pending departure.
"Rebecca Bauscher has been a wonderful public servant. She has always faithfully served those that she has represented," the statement read. "Ms. Bauscher has elected to devote her services to the children of Albany County. We are sorry to see her go but look forward to perhaps working with her again in the future."
The complaint from Katzer is not the only potential conflict of interest involving Bauscher, who was paid $46,509 a year for working at the district attorney's office.
Bauscher is officially a full-time employee of Soares. Since 2011, Bauscher has also served on the Family Court law guardian panels to represent children in Schenectady and Otsego counties, according to Betsy Ruslander, who directs the Attorneys for Children program for the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court.
The Times Union reported last month that the Appellate Division's new presiding justice, Karen Peters, ordered restrictions that prohibit law guardians from holding full-time jobs with "any government agency" within the Appellate Division's 23-county Third Department, unless they get special written permission.
Bauscher, hired in 2005, prosecuted sex crime cases before leaving Soares' office for private practice in 2007. She later returned to the DA's office and was recently prosecuting cases in local courts, including Watervliet and Cohoes.
Bauscher could not be reached Thursday.

Stocks declined on Thursday after the leader of Senate Democrats warned the United States appeared headed over the "fiscal cliff" and data showed consumer confidence fell to a four-month low.
With only a few days left before devastating tax hikes and spending cuts go into effect, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said about the fiscal cliff, "It looks like where we're headed."
Continue Reading Below
Reid criticized Republicans for refusing to go along with any tax increases as part of a compromise solution with Democrats to avoid the fiscal cliff, which economists warn will knock the economy into recession.
President Barack Obama was flying back to Washington from a Christmas holiday to push for more talks, while the top Republican in Congress planned to speak with House lawmakers to avoid the year-end deadline. Still, gaps remained between the two sides.
The benchmark S&P 500 index is on track for its fourth straight decline and is down 2 percent as negotiations over the budget crisis stalled. A four-day decline would mark the longest losing streak for the index in three months.
The Conference Board, an industry group, said its index of consumer attitudes in December fell to 65.1 as the budget crisis took the steam out of a growing sense of optimism about the economy. The gauge fell more than expected from a downwardly revised 71.5 in November.
Initial claims for unemployment benefits dropped 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 350,000 last week and the four-week moving average fell to the lowest since March 2008.
"Unfortunately, a term all of us are sick of hearing - the fiscal cliff - appears to be dominating all aspects of the financial market and consumer confidence," said Joe Heider, principal at Rehmann Financial in Cleveland Ohio.
"What has happened here is even though the consumer confidence number had a sharp decline, most people write it off as a result of what is happening in Washington rather than economic reality that is occurring in people's everyday lives."
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced the first of a series of measures that should push back the government's debt ceiling by around two months.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 77.41 points, or 0.59 percent, to 13,037.18. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 9.71 points, or 0.68 percent, to 1,410.12. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 18.36 points, or 0.61 percent, to 2,971.80.
Marvell Technology Group fell 3.4 percent to $7.15 after it said it would seek to overturn a jury's finding of patent infringement. The stock had fallen more than 10 percent in the prior session after a federal jury found the company infringed two patents held by Carnegie Mellon University and ordered the chipmaker to pay $1.17 billion in damages.
The PHLX semiconductor index lost 0.7 percent.

Search for Vikings Stadium Builder Down to 2 Firms
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minneapolis company that built new stadiums for the Minnesota Twins and the University of Minnesota football team is among two finalists to build the Minnesota Vikings' new stadium.
Mortenson Construction made the cut this week, along with Hunt Construction of Scottsdale, Ariz.
Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority chairwoman Michele Kelm-Helgen says a third firm, Swedish-based Skanska AB, is no longer being considered.
A builder for the Vikings' $975 million stadium was expected to be announced at Friday's authority meeting. But Kelm-Helgen tells the Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/XXA6Iz ) more time is needed.
Mortenson has built several stadiums in the Twin Cities, including Target Field, TCF Bank Stadium, Xcel Energy Center and Target Center.
Hunt Construction has built a dozen NFL stadiums, including the homes of the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals.

AC Milan star Ronaldinho had the right idea on the best way to spend part of a near-perfect Friday.Instead of the drudgery of practice, he opted to enjoy the sights and sunshine at Wrigley Field.Ronaldinho's visit was part of a whirlwind Chicago weekend that includes Sunday night's friendly against the Fire at Toyota Park.
The 30-year-old Brazilian soccer star skipped a late morning training session and instead found himself chatting in the dugout with Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano, waving to fans and throwing a ceremonial first pitch before the start of the Cubs-Cardinals series opener.
Zambrano offered some some throwing tips and Ronaldinho, clad in a pin-striped Cubs home jersey, launched a high, arcing lob from the pitcher's mound. He's respectful of the American game and appreciates positive reception from fans.
