Some observers are suggesting that, while Windows 8/Windows RT is a bold attempt by Microsoft to get a foothold in the booming tablet market, it also represents the first major step into what the company believes is the post-tablet era. This new phase in computing , according to this thinking, is oriented around touch-based interactions, even on laptops and desktops.
Apple, of course, has taken a "keep 'em separate" approach to touch-based tablets and other mobile devices versus mouse and keyboard-oriented laptops/desktops. Apple CEO Tim Cook, for instance, has told news media that one could design a car that both flies and floats, "but I don't think it would do either of those things very well."
All Screens Touchable?
On the other hand, Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky, head of the Windows division, has said that all screens should be touchable, and a variety of PC manufacturers are quickly moving to accomplish that goal via touchscreen all-in-ones and convertible laptops/tablets.
We asked several Microsoft-following analysts if the Windows 8 launch represents a major turning point for the company, the personal computing industry, or both.
Forrester 's Sarah Rotman Epps said the launch was undoubtedly "a major turning point for Microsoft," adding that it was a "huge, huge jump."
A key aspect of that, she said, is that now there's a "tension between its own business and the business of its manufacturing partners," notably because of Microsoft's launch of its own tablet, Surface.
The OS release also represents a major turning point because of the new touch-based interface in Windows 8 and RT, she said. "Touch interaction is compelling," Rotman told us, but touch-sensitive computers also add costs to the price.
'Transform Itself'
It remains to be seen whether businesses and consumers want touch-interaction in so many devices, but she pointed out that there are also other interaction modes, such as touch with keyboard, that Microsoft is championing to a greater extent than others have done before. Rotman said that she found the keyboard/touchscreen combo to be appealing and "not difficult to learn." (continued...)

Senate Nomination Hearing (right-click to copy direct link)
Washington, DC Thursday, November 15, 2012
Last month, President Obama nominated Gen. Joseph Dunford to replace Gen. John Allen as the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan.
Gen. Dunford led combat missions at the beginning of the 2003 Iraq invasion. He also served as commanding General of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force and Commander of Marine Forces at Central Command before he was appointed the Marines' second-in-command in 2010.
If confirmed, Dunford would guide U.S. and Afghan forces through the transition to finalize Afghan army combat training while reducing U.S. bases in the region. As Commander, Dunford would become the sixth American commander to lead the war in Afghanistan since the conflict began 11 years ago.

Myron B. Pitts
In the wake of the heart-crushing tragedy in Newtown, Conn., in which a gunman blew 6- and 7-year-old schoolchildren to oblivion with a semiautomatic assault rifle, Wayne LaPierre called a press conference to suggest the National Rifle Association would not support a single change to gun laws.
LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president, blamed the massacre of schoolkids and their female protectors on video games, inadequate security, the moral decline of society - on anything but the most lax gun laws in the western world. His sole policy recommendation was to place armed guards in every school. He didn't follow up with any ideas on how to pay for that idea, which is not altogether a bad one.
By the end of the press conference, in which LaPierre took no questions, he had burnished the group's unfortunate reputation as being a bunch of yahoos and gun nuts who cannot be part of any adult debate on controlling gun violence. As theatrics, his performance joins the ranks of Charlton Heston's "cold dead hands" moment.
But a funny thing happened on my way toward full condemnation of the NRA. I discovered that in critical areas, the organization's rank and file agree with most other Americans in supporting at least some sensible gun restrictions.
Back in May, conservative pollster Frank Luntz released a detailed survey of members' attitudes and found surprising results.
Among them:
Seventy-four percent of NRA members support requiring a background check foranyonewho buys a gun (emphasis mine).
Seventy-nine percent support requiring background checks on employees who work for gun retailers.
Seventy-four percent believe gun permits should be granted only to people who have completed gun safety training, and 68 percent believe permits should be denied to people with violent offenses in their past.
You never, ever hear this kind of thoughtful moderation, however, from the leaders who speak for the group's 4.3 million members.
The survey numbers suggest that the NRA leadership - extremists such as LaPierre - are speaking for and fighting for the gun lobby, not the gun owner. Every solution they are likely to propose to address the issue of mass shootings will always involve adding more guns to the equation, not fewer. That's because the gun lobby wants one thing: gun sales for its manufacturers.
What NRA leaders understand is that being the loudest and most persistent voice in a debate can shape the debate. Pouring money into the debate helps, too, and both Republicans and Democrats strive to maintain an "A" rating from the NRA.
The national media, and by extension the American people, are led by political spin to believe the two sides in the gun debate are so far apart that any kind of agreement on change is unlikely, if not impossible.
But if we look at just one data point from the Luntz survey, background checks, we can already see an important piece of common ground.
Gun-control advocates, led by a coalition of big-city mayors, have called for closing the "gun show loophole." Whereas states require licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks of any prospective buyer, unlicensed dealers who do the traveling gun shows can sell a gun to anyone without such a check. We already know from the numbers that two-thirds of NRA rank-and-file members do not support sales without background checks - so we should all be able to come to some kind of agreement on that.
Now that more politicians are at least on the record talking about beefing up mental health care services, we can push to improve those, as well as look at the NRA's idea of putting an armed guard in every school.
I don't want to pretend there are no real divisions between NRA members and society at large. For example, only 7 percent of NRA members want to see restrictions on semiautomatic assault rifles - like the popular AR-15 that was used in the Newtown shooting, as well as the Christmas Eve shooting in New York where a man shot and killed two firefighters on a call. Only 11 percent of members support a ban on high-capacity magazines such as the one the killer used in Newtown. Strong majorities of non-NRA people support restrictions on both.
But we do agree more than we think we do, and we shouldn't let mouthpieces for gun manufacturers try to convince us otherwise.

Explanations of the taxes, fees and charges are detailed below: Fees and Charges imposed by the Government and the Airport UK Air Passenger Duty (APD) - Taxes such as UK APD levied each passenger on all flights which depart from a UK airport. The fees are as follows: £13 (GBP) per person for each UK domestic flight (£26 on a return UK domestic flight) Government Tax - These are refundable government levied air travel taxes which are payable in certain countries (e.g.UK, Ireland, Germany). A refund administration fee applies to all applications click here for details Passenger Service Charge/Airport tax - This is a charge made by the airport authority to an airline for the use of the terminal, runway, emergency services, security facilities etc. In some cases this charge also includes the cost of passenger and ramp handling at the airport. This non refundable charge is made on a per passenger basis and varies from airport to airport. Other Fees and Charges Aviation Insurance Levy - This aviation insurance surcharge was introduced after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Governments no longer covered airlines for acts of terrorism and consequently airline insurance costs rose dramatically. The charge is €5.99 per passenger/per flight and similar measures have also been taken by airlines worldwide. PRM Levy (passengers with reduced mobility) - This charge is €0.50 cent per passenger/per flight for the provision of special assistance services at airports for passengers with reduced mobility.. Flight Delay/Cancellation Levy (EU261 Levy) – This charge of €2.50/£2.50 per passenger/per flight has been introduced to defray the unrecoverable costs incurred by Ryanair when flights are delayed or cancelled following 'force majeure' events such as the volcanic ash airspace closure, adverse weather, air traffic control strikes, failure of airport infrastructure, unexpected aircraft technical problems etc. Upon reform of EU Reg. 261, to include an effective right of recovery clause and a non discriminatory "force majeure" clause then we will reduce and/or eliminate this levy altogether. ETS (Emission Trading Scheme) Levy– This charge of €0.25/£0.25 per person/per sector has been introduced to meet the costs imposed by the European Union on air passengers (but not train/ferry or coach travellers) under its 2012 Emissions Trading Scheme. Ryanair believe that European aviation should not be included in the ETS scheme since it accounts for less than 2% of the EU's man made CO2 emissions. This new ETS tax is the latest in a long line of cost increases imposed on Europe's air passengers by the European Commission. Administration Fee - To defray the substantial costs incurred by Ryanair managing and maintaining our reservation system an administration fee applies to each passenger per flight. All bookings will incur a €7.00/£7.00 administration fee per passenger/per one-way flight. There is no administration fee associated with infants |

Good morning welcome to campaign insiders at a new time every Monday at 1030 East Coast time.
Will be starting the week off with you to review where we're -- in the presidential race and the congressional races so.
I'm John affiliate along with mr.
Pat Caddell and doctor -- -- thank you.
-- -- -- -- And on three of us of the campaign insiders and we try to give honest dispassionate analysis of what's going on in the political campaigns so here we are Monday morning.
Tomorrow would have been the Pennsylvania primary still lives but Romney is the nominee clearly.
The president has just gotten enough delegates to be the democratic nominee.
And the media is putting out all these polls that say the -- is about city but is it.
I think it is but the more interesting question is why is it even what does it mean.
And my sense is that with.
The governor having a negative.
Favorability what -- yesterday acknowledges underwater.
And with Romney not having articulating.
A message.
There is a parallel with -- -- talk about to 1980.
At the same time that Obama's approval ratings on the economy plummet.
-- I think did you know there's been a lot of discussion me because I'm so old I go back there was an election.
But there's a lot of everyone keeps wanna say this is like 2004.
When bush was incumbent it's a very different situation.
Bush was to have something very positive going -- on foreign policy almost quit after 9/11 the war almost.
-- so he had something to run from.
In 1980 Carter President Carter -- work forwards but it was damaged by.
A -- economy the hostages being held a lot of things and -- -- primary.
And worst problem that we had was in that way and we kept it very -- -- variant.
Was that we did not have a message for the future -- what is his term but why is this going to be different.
I look at Obama and I get the sense that his campaign is ignored the fact that the world existed before 2000.
And that they're repeating the same mistake.
They don't simply thinking we're gonna -- -- opponent is we tried to do with Reagan.
And make that -- make any choice selection and all for nothing for the vision for the future.
The economy is driving this election close.
And I think -- even though I don't believe over that Romney is electorally in good shape could be that close.
At the moment but it is it is a situation that has developed.
And we can -- happily say that when you were in the White House and 1980 heroically trying to save your president.
Doug and I were working together on my campaign that congressional candidate in Queens and Nassau County.
Now we go back to 1980s we had double digit inflation double digit unemployment and interest rates statistically.
The economy if you go back looks worse much -- this that I look I don't know but it wasn't enough the mood in America -- I went door to door.
Six nights a week for eight months and you go to people's houses they were sour but this is much force that polluted and there compliments.
Probably do we've got years of having a confidence problem and we've seen this now for three years in a -- if in fact -- seems to be developing does.
Which is in 2000 and in ten and 2011.
We have quote remember Green sprouts in 2010.
A recovery in 2011.
In the spring all of which petered out.
And we -- have a higher unemployment do the recovery didn't work.
Did develop and I think we may be on that same pattern if it is it puts it prices.
The last month -- felt like it did a year ago right.
When we had these good signs and then boom bad job and I don't remember what happened we talked about this when I when I remember.
I remember one of our first show.
On on the on on on on when we were campaign confidential.
I said that.
I thought that we have had a breakdown basically the country it's -- when the unemployment rate went back off.
And for the summer Obama's numbers for then for the -- tank -- crazy.
And now they've come back somewhat the Republicans have helped him but if we get that same pattern and I think what we're seeing is some anticipation of that.
Then the the White House is in more trouble than than than many of the experts say -- look -- -- right now I mean.
I think it is right the way I would put it is not so much that the country is snapped blog and now -- I don't know that you could put that it's broken.
And that people are so.
This -- is snapped and yes states that people would just so discouraged.
And so fearful.
That it's not like they or pounding the table and right there just.
And unnerved.
And -- easy on a daily well.
And into that point look at the lack of enthusiast.
-- -- -- voting turnout and also the level of enthusiasm is relatively low compared to other years even though people believe this is a critical election.
There were on the precipice a -- a -- you probably great moment of potential decline in America you would have thought the country to be galvanizing.
And it's getting election that it doesn't want and it's reacting to that.
-- the the thing that I am still wrestling with -- the Republicans are the ones who really think it's a crucial election.
You wouldn't know -- from their campaign you who want.
But you wouldn't know it from their turn -- not the independents who were allowed to vote for Democrats in Republican primaries they voted this year because -- was -- democratic primary.
But on the actual were registered Republican turn out other than South Carolina was down I believe in every single Republican primary now.
Why aren't they coming out to vote nobody's talking about the huge job.
I think it's appointed Mitch Daniels made.
Being the only -- you -- -- that's a good point I think we should and we put that quote up on the screen earlier last week governor Mitch Daniels who toyed with running.
Very won't respect a guy across the aisle politically.
Republican governor of Indiana could obviously did not and other -- for resolution or vote.
-- we we should put up the quote first it we have you have to.
Campaign to govern not just one look at everything through the lens of folks who have yet to achieve.
Romney doesn't talk that way -- this.
Was a rather strong critique of the Republican nominee running from -- Republican governor who's very well respected on the right and in the middle path.
Well as we saw yesterday on the home when he was on fought so Sunday would -- -- he backed off just a little bit but not really.
I mean he tried to.
Sugar -- -- much -- he could for Romney.
But he still made this endless -- even said -- and we'll come back to Mitch -- -- -- -- on FOX News Sunday yesterday morning.
What did you mean when you said -- doesn't talked out why.
I'm just saying that that he he's got the right prescription for America.
He's he's meeting the objective that -- hoped our party would need to offering specific positive constructive.
-- and remedies for our debt problem and are slow growth problem.
But as things go along I just want to encourage him to express these very same principles more often from the standpoint of the young the poor.
Those who have yet to -- start up the -- of life.
I right now by the late governor Daniels very good politician and a good person.
Comes from a camp on the right.
Jack -- used to -- used to say we're bleeding -- conservatives.
We believe in conservatism as the way to revive.
Everyone in the country not just to help the rich you can't say.
What is the prescription that Mitt Romney is proposing what is it.
He's worries that it doesn't care about the -- He's not -- -- -- that really hurts them politically it's not just among -- or -- -- among independents and moderates.
You hear about -- well he said in Paris he said that in.
-- -- compensate them but it didn't matter really came across when you say -- got to -- is that I don't care about right for that I have a say they have added if there's all of us say it's never did so many statements of -- -- is considered politically unbelievable.
But the larger point is he doesn't connect with voters the danger for him as a candidate the reason he's -- underwater in favorability.
Is because he does not connected particularly with the working class white working class -- -- Anyway and and and and women and others who I've got real problem -- And he doesn't make a connection them.
And if he is in what didn't and -- Daniels has been all of this if I've said it before on the show when we've all discussed it.
You see the union response that very different than Barbara was a was a home run compared to what those usually are because you talk about this but in the statement -- In the interview when he talked but we need to be constructed.
You -- you need to make an urgent he was talking about the urgency election he's talked about about the crisis of -- Bob big stakes but this view of you have to have empathy -- -- said yesterday.
It is in the in the if Romney doesn't Republicans and Republicans on the right don't seem to understand that having empathy and -- -- thing.
-- a Clinton leadership convention all laps and from the Republican camp.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Hockey Canada shows off jerseys for 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi
TORONTO - It took until he stepped onto the ice at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton at the 1986 world junior championship for Joe Nieuwendyk to appreciate what it meant to wear a Team Canada jersey.
"I didn't really understand the magnitude of what it meant until that moment: skating out there in front of 19-20,000 people, flags flying everywhere," Nieuwendyk said. "It was a special feeling."
On Tuesday morning, he got to pass that feeling on to about a dozen teenage players chosen to model Hockey Canada's 2014 Olympic jerseys at the official unveiling at the Mattamy Athletic Centre. Hockey Canada told them they'd be doing some promotional things, but the players didn't learn exactly why they were at the arena until just before the event.
"Their mouths dropped, a little awestruck," Nieuwendyk said. "They didn't realize what they were here for. When they saw the jersey for the first time, it hit them like it hits any NHL guy that's going to don that jersey."
For many hockey fans it wasn't the first glimpse of the red, white and alternate black jerseys that the men's, women's and sledge hockey teams will wear at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi. Pictures of the uniforms have leaked out over the last month.
But that didn't damper the enthusiasm for the teenagers who stepped onto the ice amid club music and laser lights and skated around to show off the uniforms.
"First to ever try on the Team Canada Olympic Jersey and unveil it to everyone. Speechless," Paul Coffey's son, Blake, wrote on Twitter afterward. "Honoured to get the opportunity to unveil the 2014 Team Canada Olympic Jersey Launch."
Hockey Canada's reveal was another opportunity for fans to give their opinions about the jerseys. Some said it looked like Petro-Canada's logo, while others wanted to go back to the jerseys used when Canada won gold in Vancouver in 2010.
"People talking about how they feel about a jersey that's close to their heart and represents their country is a great thing," Nike creative director Ken Black said.
The red and white jerseys feature a Maple Leaf logo with a stripe across the chest, while the black jersey has "CANADA" written across it in white letters on a gold stripe. All three include 12 gold maple leaves inside the collar to commemorate the eight men's, three women's and one sledge hockey gold medal the country has won at the Olympics.
Black said the jerseys were inspired by the 1920 team that won gold at the Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium, with touches from the 1972 national team uniform.
"The best resource that we have in our country are our players and our people," Hockey Canada president and CEO Bob Nicholson said. "This really respects where it all started back in 1920."
Back then there were fewer avenues for fans to express their feelings about jerseys. This time around criticism began in early September when a photo of Jonathan Toews wearing Canada's red jersey surfaced online.
"That's the great thing about the game of hockey: Everyone's passionate," Nicholson said. "The key is the players will be proud to put it on, and know when the players are on the ice, whether it's our women's team, our men's team or our sledge team, Canadian fans will support the jersey and the team."
Montreal's Caroline Ouellette, a forward on the women's team and a three-time Olympian, offered a very positive review.
"I think they're lighter and they seem very comfortable," she said. "I think every time change happens, there's some people that resist it. I know we've heard some negative comments on it so far, but for me the jersey becomes the memories we make with that jersey."
International Olympic Committee regulations prohibit sports federations from putting their logo on uniforms.
Canada is the only team that will have a third jersey in Sochi. Nicholson said he wasn't sure how many times it would be worn at the Olympics but mentioned it was added because fans and players like black.
Of course, Nicholson said, Canada's "real colours" are red and white. That's why those jerseys got praise from Nieuwendyk for their simplicity.
"The most important thing is the Maple Leaf," he said. "You follow a little bit of Canadian hockey history, this follows some of the history and captures that. It's just such a clean look: red, white and a Maple Leaf."
The process of getting to the final products was far from simple. Phil Pritchard from the Hockey Hall of Fame took some historic Team Canada jerseys to Nike, where designers got to see and feel what former players wore.
The jerseys are 15 per cent lighter than anything previously worn by Team Canada. The uniform fabric contains material from recycled water bottles.
"Even this design is much lighter than what we wore in Nagano or Salt Lake," Nieuwendyk said. "It's getting lighter. They look faster. But the athletes are getting bigger and faster too."
Tuesday's event at the Mattamy Athletic Complex, located on the former site of Maple Leaf Gardens, didn't have much to do with the construction of the Olympic teams. But Nicholson said that "seeing the jersey is a key stepping point for all three teams."
"We are launching a symbol that truly serves to unify our great nation," Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut said. "In Canada the concept of (a) jersey is an integral part of our DNA."
The next step is for the teams to be named.
"There's a lot of work going on behind the scenes," Nicholson said. "(General manager) Steve Yzerman and his whole crew are out now every night watching NHL games to select the men's side."
The provisional men's roster of 22 skaters and three goalies must be submitted to the International Ice Hockey Federation no later than Dec. 31. The women's team has until later in January to submit a roster to the Canadian Olympic Committee.
The Games will be held Feb. 7-23, and the Paralympic Games are set for March 7-16.

Police say the homeowner in the 1100-block of Jefferson caught a 14-year-old from New Orleans in the act of trying to steal his Ford F-150. Deputy Chief Anthony Christiana says the homeowner was able to stop the attempted theft and hold the suspect until the cops got there.
"The homeowner was armed...and was giving commands to the suspect in the vehicle not to move," Christiana said.
Christiana says when officers took control of the scene, they discovered that the suspect had stolen property on him linking him to three vehicle burglaries in the area, including handcuffs, keys and road flares stolen from a Gretna police car!
"He did enter a marked Gretna police unit, parked at one of our officer's residence," Christiana said. "He removed property from that particular police unit."
Christiana told WWL First News that in all four cases, the vehicles were locked, and the suspect forced his way into them.

It's What's Inside That Counts
A few weeks ago I wrote a recipe for my "Let Them Eat Cake" column on Serious Sweets and the delightful Mimi Crawford took this fabulous photo of it. However, there was some clamoring for shots of the interior of the cake, and alas, I had but this fuzzy phone photo taken towards the end of our dinner party (and accompanying wine bottles). As you can see, there are stripes of blackberry preserves and white chocolate, and by the level of demolition you can also see how irresistible the cake outside as well as inside.

As usual, Toys R Us is doing a special Bricktober promotion for the month of October. This year, it's a series of 4 magnetic classic minifigs, the fourth of which appears to be a classic castle soldier. Each will be free with any Lego purchase over $20. I love that they're releasing these, but I hate that I'm going to have to spend >$80 to get them. At least until 10/09/10, most Lego is 30% off at TRU.
[update] All four figs can be viewed here. The castle fig is a Black Falcon.
