The original owners of a western Sydney house where the remains of a missing man may be entombed are believed to have been with him on the last day he was seen, police say.
Police suspect the bones of Cengiz Sarac, 24, may be in the concrete foundation of a two-storey home in Excelsior St, Merrylands.
Mr Sarac, who was known to police, may have been murdered over money or a drug deal when he went missing in August 2005.
At the time, the house was in its initial stages of construction.
It was completed that same year before it was sold to the current owners in 2007.
Documents from the NSW Land and Property Information show the home was sold by Talal Kanj and Atef Kanj in March 2007.
The current owners, Yanqin Yu, Baotai Jiang and Wei Jiang, bought the house for $560,000.
Police have relocated the current owners, who they say are not connected to Mr Sarac's disappearance.
Officers from Strike Force Salacia started a forensic examination of the cement foundation on Tuesday.
A geophysicist will aid the team when they deploy ground-penetrating radar to examine the foundation for two to three days.
Meanwhile, police have released computer-generated (comfit) images of three men they want to speak to over Mr Sarac's disappearance.
Flemington Local Area Commander Phil Rogerson told reporters one of the men was the original owner of the house.
"We believe the original home owner may be one of these people in the comfit (image)," Supt Rogerson said on Tuesday.
Further inquiries and assistance by members of the public have led police to search the Merrylands house.
"We are confident that the information is good but we are not sure that the remains will be there," Supt Rogerson said.
The technology will allow experts to detect any cavities or possible skeletal remains in the concrete slab.
"We will not be ruling out pulling up the concrete," Supt Rogerson said.
The men in the images are believed to have been speaking to Mr Sarac at Granville train station in July 2005 and again on August 2, 2005 - the day he was last seen.
They were thought to have regularly used a white sedan, similar to a Ford Falcon, which is the car Mr Sarac was seen leaving in from his home that same day.
Recent inquiries led police to Duck Creek at Auburn where police discovered skeletal remains which they now say were not human.
They arrested a 29-year Auburn man on April 3 in relation to Mr Sarac's disappearance but later released him without charge.

Comments about Drill Master 1/16 in. High Speed Steel Titanium Nitride Drill Bits, 7 Piece:
As easily as these little bits end up broken, it is a good idea to have some extras, the ones at your local hardware store are not 10 times better as their price suggests- this is a smart buy.

CALGARY — Encana Corp. will undertake change in "a big way, a bold way" as it deals with an oversized inventory of undervalued dry gas assets, its new CEO vowed Thursday.
Canada's largest gas producer, which reduced seven per cent of its staff in the first half of the year, will change its organizational structure to match its strategic direction, said president and chief executive Doug Suttles during a webcast presentation from an energy conference in New York.
"Our existing organization, both its structure and its size, is aligned with the past and not the future," said Suttles. "It's built around a bigger capital program and cash flow than we have today and we need to get that realigned."
Encana stock rose four per cent to close at $18.61 in Toronto on Thursday.
The former chief operating officer at BP Exploration and Production, given the Encana job in June after predecessor Randy Eresman left abruptly early in the year, said the company will finalize implementation plans over the next few weeks.
Suttles said the company has consulted extensively with internal and external sources.
The CEO was critical of Encana's past practices, especially its accumulation of dry gas drilling potential that would take 75 years to accomplish, while acknowledging that operational excellence seems to be "in the DNA" of the organization.
"Our capital allocation process is broken," he said. "We're funding way too many plays, we're not prioritizing, we're not focusing our efforts ...
"We have something like 28 or so different asset opportunities in the portfolio and every single one of them is being funded right now. I think we all understand that focus and discipline in capital allocation is a real key to performance and it's one of the things we have to make radical change in to be successful."
Encana was formed in 2009 when its predecessor's oil and refinery businesses were spun off into Cenovus Energy Inc.
Michael Dunn, an analyst for FirstEnergy Capital, said Suttles' speech in New York suggests he will bring forward "drastic" changes, including deep asset sales.
He said Suttles has lived up to investor expectations by differentiating himself from Eresman.
"Instead of, 'We need to chase liquids and monetize some assets,' he's saying we need focus and rationalizing, shifting the company to a more nimble and smaller company instead of one set up for high gas prices and high capex and cash flow," said Dunn.
He said he thinks Suttles may be more likely going forward to sell assets than enter into joint ventures, although partnerships will likely continue to be necessary.
In a note released before Suttles' presentation in New York, RBC Dominion Securities analyst Greg Pardy raised his rating of the stock to outperform from sector perform while leaving his 12-month target price at $22.
He said Encana stock has fallen 11.9 per cent this year because of poor gas prices, "tepid" progress on oil and natural gas liquids plays and the corner office transition, but added he thinks Suttles and chief financial officer Sherri Brillon are keys to the turnaround.
"The missing element in the equation has largely revolved around strategic direction ... In a nutshell, Encana appears to be back on the road to winning again," he wrote.
Suttles didn't say where Encana will cut funding or sell assets but he named two winners, the Duvernay liquids-rich shale play of western Alberta and the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale oil play in the United States.
He said Encana has been too slow to develop its large Duvernay acreage. It contains "billions and billions of barrels of condensate" which receive premium pricing from oilsands companies that need the light petroleum liquid to dilute bitumen to allow it to flow in a pipeline.
Encana has the best well in the field, he said, noting one horizontal well has produced 100,000 barrels of condensate in five months and is still producing 600 barrels per day.
Suttles said he will not count on a rebound in gas prices to save Encana, noting that the company figures Henry Hub prices in the U.S. will be "rangebound" at $3.50 to $4.50 US per million British thermal units over the next three years.
In Alberta, he said recent AECO price weakness is temporary, caused by new tolls on the TransCanada Corp. Mainline to Eastern Canada. But he said discounts to U.S. prices could widen again later in this decade as output grows in advance of the building of liquefied natural gas export terminals on the West Coast.
He hinted Encana will continue to access capital from partners, pointing out there is estimated to be $60 billion to $90 billion of private equity money available for North American oil and gas plays.
During the company's second-quarter conference call in July, Brillon said Encana aims to save $100 million to $150 million per year in general and administrative and operating costs.
In its second quarter, Encana reported cash flow of $665 million compared with $794 million in the same period a year ago, while operating earnings rose to $247 million from $198 million.
Encana production of oil and liquids jumped 69 per cent to 47,600 barrels per day while natural gas output fell one per cent to 2.76 billion cubic feet per day.
The company reported raising a net $650 million from asset sales in the first half of 2013, achieving its 2013 target of $500 million to $1 billion.

A Changing Society.
With the advent of the 1940s came an increased prosperity as well as the higher risk of conflict with other nations. Both possibilities had effects on the law. The efforts of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, first elected in 1932, to fight the Great Depression with his New Deal program led to great changes in society and government and brought challenges in the legal realm from both advocates and opponents. Roosevelt's almost dictatorial attitude toward bending the courts to his way of thinking, the most obvious example being his thwarted attempt to pack the Supreme Court in 1937 with additional associate justices of his own choosing, affected the Supreme Court well into the 1940s. Although the court-packing plan failed, Roosevelt appointed eight supreme court justices during his term in office, and they frequently reflected his liberal social perspective. The entry of the United States into World War II brought new legal questions, which brought to the law questions of world morality and politics.

Interesting communication pieces, using specialty paper or unique designs, are being used to break through the clutter that competes for the consumer's attention.
A case in point is the award-winning folded invitation to last fall's annual Unisource Chicago Paper Show, printed on Classic Linen Papers from Neenah Paper. The end product was the result of a collaboration that included O'Connor Design (Chicago), Ace Graphics (Naperville, IL), and the Fold Factory, an online resource and provider of folding templates.
"Unisource's Paper Show is an annual event for Chicago's creative community, to expose them to everything new that is going on with paper," notes Jim O'Connor (who owns the design firm with his wife Debra). "With the invitation, the idea was to illustrate something that couldn't be done on the Internet, playing up the quality of paper. The tactile nature of paper, the fact that this was printed on interesting stock—all played a part in the design concept."
A nine panel reveal, from a Fold Factory template, was used, showing the interactivity that you can have with a printed piece—something you can't have with a screen. "From the beginning, we had the idea that we would create something that shows the attributes of printing and paper, incorporating a format that allows someone to open this piece up and there is something brand new, and then you open it again, an so on. The words we used were also a part of this, sort of a tongue-in-cheek play on words."
In addition to folds, O'Connor Design also incorporates die-cuts, embossing and textures to draw in the end recipient. For one client's annual report, a circle was die-cut through the first several pages to draw the reader through, with a big bang at the end.
"We are constantly looking to make paper do as much as it can," says O'Connor. "We love working with paper. I know the trend is swinging the other way, but that is why we are always looking to create things that really stand apart."
Neenah, which targets designers looking for that creative edge, recently released its new promotion for its line of Environment Papers. Titled "Creative (un)Blocks," it is described as a collection of inspiring samples and suggestions to help designers break through their inevitable slumps and take their creativity to the next level.
Neenah partnered with Josh Chen, principal and creative director of San Francisco-based Chen Design Associates to conceptualize and develop the original artwork in Creative (un)Blocks, which provides designers with actual printed matter they can turn to when the need for inspiration strikes.
Digital Printing; More Media Than Ever
Advancements in digital printing have spurred more media advancements, creating even more possibilities. Digital printing has gone way beyond imaging on plain paper, as new substrates allow printers and designers to offer clients graphic options that were previously not feasible, due to financial or logistic constraints.
"There's a keen interest in materials in the digital printing arena, notes Chris Harrold, Vice President of Market Development, Emerging Technologies, Mohawk. "Materials are meeting beautiful printing and meeting digital printing technologies."
Spectrum Printers Inc., an employee-owned commercial print shop in Tecumseh, MI, runs Nekoosa's MagnaCote pre-magnetized sheets on its offset press when longer runs demand it, or Digital MagnaCote on its Konica Minolta 7000 and 8000 machines for short-run, quick turn around, personalized printing.
A few years ago, Spectrum Printers Inc. introduced MagneCote to its customers by including a magnetized calendar with a holiday greeting card; customers are now requesting the substrate for reminder cards, envelope stuffers, business cards and large point-of-purchase displays for the retail industry.

I bought this for my 10 yr old son for Christmas. He and his siblings had great fun playing with it. The Mrs. told me to go online to find refills so I do and guess what I found...NONE!WHY on Earth would this company put out a product that uses consumables and NOT put out Refill Packs??? This is ridiculous. They do have Refill Packs for some of their other playsets but not all.I don't get it. Imagine if Mattel didn't offer refills for the Easy Bake Oven. It would probabaly not even be around any more. Heck, at least with the Easy Bake, you can come up with your own substitutions but not with Doctor Dreadful.I am VERY unhappy with this item ONLY because the lack of refills. I was going to give ONE Star but gave Two cause the kids really enjoyed it.

Comments about Spin Master 1001130 Doctor Dreadful - Alien Autopsy:
Bought for my 5 year old grandson. He thought it was fun to make "body parts" but he said most of it tasted "yucky". He needed help with this toy but I figured he would when we bought it. Because of the taste of the candy I would not recommend this product. I am glad I only paid half price for it.

I bought this last year for my grandson. I found it on clearance. We used it once and it was a mess. He had fun with it and even ate the body parts. His older brother though it was awful. I threw it away after the first use because it was difficult to clean. Shortly after that he was asking me where it was. I told him it was lost. I decided to buy him another once since he really liked it.

About Me Do-It-Yourself
My 7 year old son bought this with his birthday money and was so excited to "Gross everyone out" by eating the guts from the alien. However as it turns out, the candy isn't too tasty and we couldn't get the consistency correct so the candy was pretty soupy! The set was very easy to set up and only took a few mins before we had everything ready for the "autopsy"! Overall it was fun for the first few mins, then it got put back in the box and hasn't been out since! It's pretty messy and the candy mix stains so be warned!
My kid owuldn't even eat the candy!!!

My son (1st grade) loves this thing. Some of the candy is awful, but it doesn't really matter. Some of it is just kind of cool too. But, as other reviewers say...where the heck are the refills??????? I'm going to call spinmaster and find out.
Messy and icky
By Reluctant purchaser
from Minneapolis, MN
My son has fun with this, but it is very messy and requires constant adult supervision. The "candy" tastes disgusting - I likened the flavor to cough syrup, which I absolutely destest. The only reason I purchased this was because my son wrote a letter to Santa begging for it. I would not purchase again.
Great fun!

My 5 year old got this from Santa and he loved it! It was easy to assemble and make the food. The stomach churner actually looks like things are coming to life! My son squealed with delight while doing his experiment.

Hip-hop is not only a musical genre, but also an entire cultural movement that originated mainly in Jamaica and was brought to urban New York City in the 1970s. Hip-hop found its way into the mainstream in the early 1990s and is now amongst the most popular music genres worldwide. Hip-hop culture can be identified by its fashion trends and other unique aspects, including breakdancing and beatboxing. The culture has inspired a number of artists, including Future.
One of the most vital elements of hip-hop is rap, a form of achieving rhythm through spoken words that rhyme. Rap originated in West African tradition where wandering poets, called griots, would bring their stories from village to village. Today, there are dozens of famous rap and hip-hop artists. Wycleff Jean, Kanye West, and Jay-Z are among the best-known artists of the 21st century. Other popular rappers include The Roots and Bow Wow. TicketNetwork has the best prices on all rap and hip-hop tickets, including Future tickets. So get your tickets for Future today and enjoy the show!

Aug 1, 2013Serving two fantastic leads in Garfield and Stone as well as a great villain in Rhys Ifans as The Lizard, everything works out perfectley in this superb reboot of my favorite superhero. It's truly amazing, not just amazing, but quite spectacular!
Jul 4, 2013With science and wit dangling from its webs of storytelling, "The Amazing Spider-Man" uses Garfield and Stone's acts to soar, and leaving a wonderful impression in the end.

Jun 17, 2013This may not be the best Spider-Man film, but its an excellent reboot. The cast is definetely one of the best. The movie kills it with action, emotion and origin. It's a retelling of Spider-Man but in a way that has secrets.
I give TASM a 9/10 -

Apr 20, 2013Does "The Amazing Spider-Man" do anything new to movies? Well, no. But the genres that exist are all in there. The movie has its moments of humor, horror, romance, action, adventure, thriller, it has simply everything, and the way they used all that to make a superhero movie is simply one of the best ways they could use it.
Apr 8, 2013The Amazing Spider-Man is the Spider-Man film that we were all waiting to see. It has a fantastic cast that all give great performances, a great score to accompany it, and great action sequences that can only be put as simply: amazing.
Mar 31, 2013
Mar 24, 2013I was hesitant to see this movie, as the ones done in the early 2000's were exceptional. This version did not disappointing me, showing the early life of Peter Parker that was based more closely on the comics than the original that starred Tobey McGuire.

Dec 29, 2012Well, I really loved it. I wasn't keen on these Marvel heroes like Spider-man or Hulk, but I liked this movie, and it attracted me. I just wanted to keep on watching. I also like when things are realistic.
Dec 9, 2012A superb Spidey film, as good as Spiderman 1+2 I thought, if not a little better. Just an all round good film and exactly what you want it to be. The 'web shooting machines (can't be bothered to google technical term) on his wrists are a geeky and therefore pleasurable addition. How couldn't you enjoy seeing a pink flash every time he fires a web?

Nov 11, 2012I thought another Spiderman movie would be a waste. I was pleasantly surprised. Sally Fields &I Martin Sheen brought credibility to the story line. The actingand special effects kept my attention throughout the movie.

Oct 24, 2012Unlike the original triology movies, actually follows and doesn't spit on, Stan Lee's created universe! That's about all I can say about this movie other than it having a much better cast too - each actor looks and plays the roles much better than the predecessors - without a doubt about it!
Oct 10, 2012
Sep 17, 2012Best Spider-man movie so far! The acting,special effects,Villain were all great and I can't wait to see the Green Goblin in the next movie. This will probably go down as one of the greatest movie franchises if they keep up the standard. 10/10
Sep 2, 2012What could have been done to make the movie better? Absolutely nothing. The Amazing Spider-man is a fantastic movie, the best movie in months, and the best superhero movie since The Avengers. It was even better than Chronicle. My point is, The Amazing Spider-man was a great movie that you should see immediately.
This might be a fun summer blockbuster if only it even remotely needed to exist.
In short, the character is a lot like the way Stan Lee first envisioned him, but the trilogy's screenwriter Steve Ditko would probably loathe this new, unsatisfying, and hollow-feeling entry into the new cinematic Marvel Universe.
On the whole, it's passable stuff, a surprise, given how mechanical the masked character seemed.

LaCie announced the LaPlug, a simple solution to share any USB hard drive or key over a local network. The LaPlug also offers a convenient way to access data at home or on the go, as well as share personal files such as vacation or birthday photos with family and friends. Additionally, the LaPlug can stream multimedia content and back up multiple computers to one central location. Even better, all this functionality can be achieved with USB hard drives a user already owns. SHARE USB DISKS ON YOUR NETWORK—WIRELESSLY The LaPlug turns any USB hard drive into a network storage device sharing files wirelessly throughout the home. Simply connect the LaPlug to the network then connect the drive to the LaPlug. Instantly the user has an easy and cost-effective way to make files stored on their USB hard drives more accessible than ever. For ultimate convenience a user can connect a USB printer to the LaPlug and make it wirelessly available to all computers on the network. ACCESSIBILITY AT HOME AND ON THE ROAD Not only does the LaPlug make USB hard drives accessible throughout the home, it even supports remote access. Instead of emailing large files between friends, just give them access to the LaPlug – all they need is an Internet connection. The user can even set up a custom web address so access to the LaPlug is as easy as typing a URL. MULTIMEDIA STREAMING It is easy to access USB drives connected to the LaPlug from any networked equipment that's UPnP/DLNA-certified, such as the PlayStation®3 or Xbox®360, as well as the LaCie LaCinema Classic HD. If a user has movies on a USB key they can just connect it to the LaPlug then play the movie using the multimedia device on the network. Instantly watch movies from the comfort of your living room even if the LaPlug is located in another part of the house. The LaPlug also plays music files from a USB drive or streams music to computers on the network running iTunes. CENTRALIZE BACKUP FOR CONVENIENCE AND SECURITY The LaPlug offers a convenient way to automatically back up all computers in a household onto one central location. Use the included backup software or Time Machine. Either way, simply configure automatic backups once then rest assured knowing all data is secure. Since the LaPlug supports Wi-Fi, once the computer is configured the user does not need to connect it to the LaPlug in order to initiate backups. It works as soon as the computer is connected to the local network. AVAILABILITY The LaCie LaPlug will be available through the LaCie Online Store, LaCie PROgram+ Partners and LaCie PROgram+ Reseller starting at the suggested retail price of $74.99. For more information, visit the product page.
Needs USB 3.0. Otherwise pretty nice actually. You can't connect printers to it I assume? That would've been nice too.
Is this effectively a NAS connected to a drive via USB? It seems to imply that it has it's own wireless connection, but this image seems to imply a wireless router is doing the wireless work:
Yea, think so too. And I agree, seems like it should have more connectivity options, like eSata and USB 3.0. Printer support would be good too. They should make one of these with multiple ports, where each device gets assigned it's own ID. Or better yet, a wireless router that has the same functionality.
I bet it wont stream big HD video files with any kind of watch-ability. Like blue ray rips with uber quality. I tried a vendor that allowed you to stream from your PC to any PC any where and it worked great until I tried to watch my Blue ray rips...I get the picture but not the sound and I assumed it was a bandwidth issue. All software based no hardware. http://mycast.orb.com/orb/html/index.html
I'm not sure that USB 3.0 would make much of a difference. See this note in the Specifications... "Typical transfer rate in wired Gigabit Ethernet network can be up to 35MB/s."

SHAKEN UP: Mental health issues may prove to be a longer lasting concern than other diseases after the earthquake in Haiti. But more than specialized care, preventing these illnesses might be as simple as helping people meet their basic needs and reestablish normalcy.

As the aftershocks of the January 12 magnitude 7.0 earthquake outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, taper off and the dust settles, new needs are coming to light. The health of many of the three million residents said to have been shaken by the quake will be determined in the coming weeks as aid workers and others rush to treat the wounded, provide food and water, and try to prevent disease outbreaks.
Concern already has run high about the spread of cholera and typhus in a country whose everyday "water supply and basic sanitation services are still very deficient," according to the Pan American Health Organization. Many diseases, including malaria, HIV and typhoid, were already widespread issues in Haiti before the earthquake struck, and the intensely weakened health care system (established hospitals and clinics having collapsed or been damaged) and other infrastructure is expected to exacerbate these problems.
"In the weeks to come, we may have huge issues with public health," Pino Annunziata, who is helping to coordinate responses for the World Health Organization (WHO), told TIME. "This will be a major concern." And the tens of thousands who are reportedly seeking medical help at the few remaining hospitals and overwhelmed clinics speak to the urgent need for physical care. Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) reported already having treated more than 2,000 patients in Port-au-Prince as of January 14.
But not all of the human harm from this disaster will be of the physical variety. For example, many experts have noted that the multitude of dead bodies—some 50,000 possibly having died in the disaster already, the Red Cross estimates—don't pose an infectious disease risk so much as a psychological threat to the survivors.
Sandro Galea, chair of the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City, explains how and why so many Haitians will likely be hurting for months after food and water have been restored and the corporeal wounds have healed.
[An edited transcript of the interview follows.]
What are the biggest health and disease concerns for Haiti in the wake of the earthquake?
There is relatively little evidence of water-borne diseases appearing in the short term. It's actually relatively rare after these events. Cardiovascular disease and heart attacks could go up, and all of the dust could cause asthma. Unfortunately, these events happen and daily life continues. And when daily life continues, other injuries and other illnesses happen. This event introduces a layer of illness that is extra.
The largest burden of disease after these events is probably mental health issues.
What sorts of mental health issues will likely appear?
In the short-term you end up seeing, in the first few days, that people are dealing with wounds and trying to stay alive and stay well. You start seeing mental health issues within the weeks following the event. There is acute stress, which is considered to be a transient condition.
Post-traumatic stress can only be labeled a month after an event. You will start seeing high rates of post-traumatic stress and depression. You will probably end up seeing them three or four times higher than baseline.
What can be done to minimize these effects?
We know that stressors and challenges of daily life after these events can compound the impact of these events. The best thing we can do is to provide psychological first aid. In the long-term, behavioral therapy or medication might be beneficial based on the individual.
The key here is restoring lives—that will provide support to people.
Will initial counseling be important in administering this "psychological first aid"?
There is actually no good evidence that early counseling after an event actually makes things better, and there is some evidence that it actually makes things worse. Psychological first aid is giving people what they need to rebuild their lives. It will mean restoring people to their jobs, restoring people to their schools, restoring families.

Policy & Practice: Advocacy
To: Honorable Members, South Dakota State Senate
February 24, 2009
Dear Honorable Senator Adelstein:
The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute is an independent/nonpartisan, nonprofit research, policy and education think tank. We conduct research and analysis on many issues in order to improve adoption laws, policies and practices. This correspondence - along with the attached written testimony regarding S153 - is intended to explain the state of professional knowledge on one of those issues: the availability (or lack thereof) of original birth certificates to adopted persons once they reach the age of majority. Indeed, the Adoption Institute has conducted the most extensive study to date on this issue; I would be delighted to provide you with a copy.
I will keep this letter brief, as I'm sure you already have received a great amount of information from all sides. We can provide any additional data you might need or want, would be delighted to address any questions you encounter, and have also submitted research-based testimony (separate document).
In short, studies consistently show that sealed birth certificates are an anachronism born of society's desire to protect the reputations of adoptees and their birthparents at a time when unwed mothers were severely stigmatized and the children born to them were denigrated as "bastards." Indeed, birth certificates were often stamped with the word "illegitimate." Over time, the cultural rationale has shifted to maintaining the anonymity of birthmothers. However, nearly all available evidence indicates that these women - while sometimes wanting privacy in their families and not wanting their situations public - overwhelmingly desire some level of contact with or knowledge about the children they bore; that they favor adoptee access to their birth certificates (or, at least, do not oppose it); and, contrary to popular perception, that they were not legally assured of anonymity. Moreover, the vast majority of adult adoptees want the records for a variety of reasons, notably medical and genealogical.
Two additional, critical points: First, a number of states in recent years have enacted laws granting adult adoptees access to their records - with none of the negative consequences that critics had predicted. And, perhaps most important, the unambiguous conclusion from a growing body of research is that greater knowledge about their histories (biological and personal) yields better outcomes for adoptees and their families. That is the principal reason, in both professional practices and new statutes throughout our country in the last decade, the singular trend has been toward increased disclosure. A few adoption practitioners, and organizations representing them, still advocate for closure - sometimes by confusing "anonymity" and "privacy" or by using discredited data on a supposed "link" with abortion - but these practitioners represent a small and shrinking minority in the field.
I hope these comments are useful. Please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 617-332-8944 if you have questions or need more information. Thank you for your attention and for your important work.
Adam Pertman

Every day criminals exploit innocent, unsuspecting people by secretly overtaking their computers to carry out crimes. Networks of bad actors have assembled an efficient, resilient infrastructure of computing power called botnets to enable Internet-based organized crimes ranging from the distribution of malware to phishing solicitations and online theft. In order to address the criminal threat posed by botnets, the public and private sectors are announcing new, collaborative efforts to keep consumers safe online.
Today, Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith joined U.S. Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski, National Institute of Standards and Technology Director Pat Gallagher and industry leaders at the White House to unveil new efforts to combat botnets. The Industry Botnet Group, a coalition of private sector partners, released their guiding principles at the event as part of the fight against botnets. Below is video from the event. You can watch Brad Smith's comments starting at about the 35:15 mark.

Microsoft, like other businesses, relies on user agreements that we ask consumers to read and accept before using our products and services. We revise and update these agreements over time. This post discusses a change we have begun making as we update user agreements across our consumer products and services.
When a customer in the United States has a dispute about a Microsoft product or service, many of our new user agreements will require that, if we can't informally resolve the dispute, the customer bring the claim in small claims court or arbitration, but not as part of a class action lawsuit. Many companies have adopted this approach, which the U.S. Supreme Court permitted in a case it decided in 2011. We made this change to our terms of use for Xbox LIVE several months ago, and we will implement similar changes in user agreements for other products and services in the coming months as we roll out major licensing, hardware or software releases and updates.
Posted by Dan BrossSenior Director, Corporate Citizenship, Microsoft
Much attention during this election cycle has been focused on the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision. The impact of Citizens United and a range of other issues – including the role of corporations in our political process here in the U.S., was the focus of a conference I spoke at last week in Washington, D.C. sponsored by The Conference Board.
As with most things related to the upcoming 2012 elections, there was spirited debate and discussion on a range of topics related to corporate governance, accountability, transparency and disclosure. Surprisingly, these topics too are being cast by some as right/left issues. Good corporate governance isn't a left wing plot or a right wing gambit, it's just smart economic and civic policy.

This has been an important week for immigration reform efforts in Congress. Reflecting the rising recognition that our country wins when we invite the world's best minds into the American community, two important new bills were introduced in the Senate. These bills would put into action the words that have become a growing chorus in the immigration policy debate: It makes no sense to educate top students from around the globe in our universities, only to send them – and their brainpower and U.S. training – off to compete with us from abroad.
This week, Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) introduced the Securing the Talent America Requires for the 21st Century, or "STAR" Act. This bill would reallocate 55,000 immigrant visas per year to those who have earned a master's degree or a Ph.D. in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (the STEM fields) from a U.S. university. Also this week, we saw the bipartisan introduction of the Sustaining our Most Advanced Researchers and Technology (SMART) Jobs Act of 2012, by Senators Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Chris Coons (D-Del.)

A local soldier is home for the holidays after being shot in Afghanistan.
"I love the Army. I love my job. I love my guys there," said Spc. Marshall Lane, a U.S. Army Combat Medic for the 549th Military Police Company. "We train the local police how to do patrols and security along side the Afghan Uniform Police."
Lane was deployed in January. The Johnson City native said the first eight months of deployment were rather quiet. "A lot of people thanked us for being there. Some were indifferent. There's a few that really hated us being there," he said.
Lane says the violence increased in August; that's when he was shot in the chest. "As I was being dragged back, I didn't know if I was going to make it or not," he told us.
Being a combat medic, Lane said he quickly put his medical knowledge to use. "I don't remember telling them this, but they [the other soldiers] said I told them how to save my own life," he said.
He was flown to Germany where he was on a special type of life support for more than two weeks. "I was scared that I wasn't going to make it through, but once I made it to Germany I was okay okay I'm going to make it," he said.
Lane was eventually transferred to Walter Reed Medical Center where he met President Obama. He was later awarded the purple heart by the Secretary of the Army. "Tons of people that I don't even know were sending me letters saying they were praying for me and thanked me for serving," he said.
Now Lane faces his next obstacle on the road to recovery. As a complication of his treatment, he's in kidney failure and needs a transplant. Until then, he remains on dialysis three times a week.
On Sunday, he was welcomed back to east Tennessee where he'll spend the next month before going back to Walter Reed.
This Christmas Lane is grateful to be alive and home for the holidays. "How can being home not help? I missed the mountains," he said.
He also said one of the things he missed most while in Afghanistan was food from Pals.
When his company returns from their tour in Afghanistan, he plans on welcoming them home. He also hopes to one day return to active duty.

TRAVELING TAHARI: Elie Tahari has cut so many ribbons of late it must only be a matter of time before he designs his own pair of scissors. Late last month, the designer opened a store at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, Calif., with a party hosted by Jonathan Adler and Lara Spencer. While there, he engaged in some personal retail therapy by shopping for midcentury furniture and also staged a fashion show at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, followed by a Virginia Madsen-hosted dinner at Sunset Tower. "California is like our second home," Tahari said at Saks. "This is the state where we have the most customers after New York."
With little time to nurse his jet lag, Tahari hopped to London to check out his new Harrods shop, then headed to Istanbul to fete his first store there earlier this month. He made a stop in his native Israel before coming back to New York for the official opening of his new Saks boutique with co-host Katie Cassidy last Tuesday. Tahari showed no signs of travel fatigue. "I am telling people that my passport is my new fashion accessory," he said.

This is a nice lightweight tent that is very light and compact in your backpack and surprisingly roomy inside (for a solo tent). It is simple and quick to set up. You will need to upgrade the stakes, but that is pretty easy and inexpensive. With regards to the stakes, you really only need 4 large (9") stakes for the ends and the fly and 4-8 small 6" UL stakes for everything else.This tent stands up quite well to moderate wind loads (30-45 mph). I have never felt as if the tent would fail in the wind and the flapping was pretty minimal (if you properly secure the fly). As with any tent, the orientation of the tent relative to the wind direction is important. I have not yet camped in any driving rains with this tent, but I have camped in light rain with 45 mph wind gusts and had no water penetration. I have hit this tent for a full 10 minutes with a garden sprayer at full pressure from a variety of angles and found absolutely no water penetration.I am impressed with the floor of this tent - my last camping experience with this tent resulted in setting up after dark and discovering the next morning that I had set up on a bed of those annoying and painful spike ball type stickers. Surprisingly, none of them penetrated the floor of the tent and I found no pinholes in the floor when I inspected it against a light back home!The tent is surprisingly roomy inside. There is very adequate height to sit up inside the tent (I'm 5' 10"). A normal rectantular sleeping pad (20 x 72) will fit nicely, but a 25" wide pad will not fit due to the tapered design of the tent towards the foot. There is adequate room at the head for your small loose gear and jacket and you can easily stow your shirt and trousers alongside your bag while sleeping. The storage pockets in this tent are well placed and very adequate for your small valuables or items you need to reach in the middle of the night. I have never felt constricted or claustrophobic in this tent.One thing you may have to get used to if you haven't used a solo tent is getting dressed/undressed while sitting. I recommend that you bring along a small doormat tarp or use your sit pad when getting in and out the tent door. The side entry of the tent is far superior to front entry solo tents!The fly is form-fitting and doesn't provide a large vestibule area. I have read a lot of complaints about this, but I found it to be a minor issue. I am able to stow my Osprey Aether pack and boots under the vestibule quite nicely (the pack lays on its side). If I need to cook under cover, I use trekking poles to string my poncho up over the doorway of the tent to provide a sitting and cooking area that works quite well.In my opinion, this tent works as an extended three season tent in the southern plains. I have used it in temperatures ranging from 105F to 28F. The tent was surprisingly warm in the colder temperature range, probably due to the low profile. I did not experience any significant condensation in cold weather, but our climate tends to be dry in the winter.If you are taller than 6', you will want to try this tent out for length before you purchase it. If you are going camping in the Pacific Northwest, you may find this tent less than desirable due to the lack of a large vestibule. Other than that, this is a really great little tent! Do yourself a favor and ditch the tent bag that it comes with. The tent, fly, and footprint wad up nicely in a ditty bag and will then stuff into your backpack very nicely.

This tent performed O.K. during a two-night trip to a creek-side/creek bed, with temps down to around four belowF. The problem is with condensation freezing. That's great because at least you can scrape most of it offw/out a towel, but you have to really dig the details, unlike with the big "sheet of rhime" walls of the Apex 2. The simplest of it was in fall, and just a blanket. In winter your sleeping bag is going to take a lot of room, but aside from spacing considerations, the design is neat and free-feeling. set-up, set-up. Easy. If you just want to have a fast moving tent, that's small, go for it.It's a great, " I gotta sprawl all of this stuff out", tent. But moisture, if it gets in has to be literally wrung out, it doesn't hang out to dry very easy like a tarp or big tent fly. Good for the money.

About Me Avid Adventurer
used mainly for overnite hiking trips. Takes up less space in or on pack and the weight is very light for the price of this tent.
Awesome price and fast delivery!

I have pricing and looking to purchase this tent for months and finally found it here! Great price and quick delivery as I needed it for a trip three days after it arrived.
Minimalist Tent
By Grunt
from San Clemente, CA
I got to test this tent out on a windy night in the San Gorgonio Wilderness Area and it stood up to my expectations. Camped at 9600 ft in freezing temps with high winds the tent held up well. It is lightweight and provides enough room to sit upright, which is all that I was looking for. Do yourself a favor and upgrade the stakes, these ones pulled out of the ground twice on me.

text: At the Dalí Museums in the Costa Brava Visitors Can Discover Dalí's Universe: While the Costa Brava is a popular package holiday destination for tourists from Northern Europe - the United Kingdom and France in particular - the Catalonian 'wild coast' is not just about golden beaches, sandy coves and overcrowded holiday resorts. There are many small coastal towns that have retained their traditional looks and some, like Cadaqués, have attracted and inspired artists over the centuries. … [Read more...]

what to do with this customer who requests service clearly outside of my application. like asking where he can find torrent files to upload, when i clearly mentioned torrent files are not allowed. (this is a file hosting application).
then he starts to complain and say why he can't upload torrent files, and I've mentioned that you can't get refund, and you can't upload torrent files in the terms of service which the customer has already agreed to.
now he is threatening to spread his negative comments around vairous forums and blogs...
what to do ?
I learn one important lesson: QUALITY of your TRAFFIC definitely matters! DO not buy or invest in cheap CONVERSION traffic because QUALITY of the buyers is very poor.

As the black sedan she'd been collected from the airport in neared its third consecutive hour of travel, Chelsea Ramsay began to tire of watching tree after tree roll past her tinted window. She sat in the rear of the car, gazing out at the scenery as the car drove steadily on through the windy woodland road. The entire journey had been consistently monotonous; be it an endless expanse of cloud on her flight here, the grey carbon-copied buildings they'd passed in Boston or the dense forest they were now cruising through, everything looked the same. Perhaps it was merely her own perceptions; she and her family had visited America before, so her mental image of the place was all skyscrapers and Disney princesses. This part of America was, in comparison, rather bland.
A few more moments passed before the vehicle manoeuvred around a final bend in the seemingly endless road, and the sight that emerged before her was enough to make her eyes widen like huge saucers. Standing before her, hidden away amongst the infinite forest, was one of the most beautiful stately homes she had ever seen. A central main building, mirrored on either side by smaller outbuildings. Large, sprawling grasses and an ornate courtyard, and a stream that ran through the green and off into the woods. The place was perfect.
She leapt out of the car as soon as it came to a stop, quickly thanking the PITY-employed driver and removing her own baggage from the trunk, wheeling it excitedly up the stone steps to the entrance of the academy. Through large, wooden doors, she found herself confronted with a grand entrance hall - all exquisitely decorated with lavish materials such as marble and mahogany. Two grand staircases spiralled upwards on either side of the room, but Chelsea had little time to take any of it in with all the fuss that was going on. A mob of students, whom she presumed were new like her, was piled into the hall, filling its cavities with a low murmur of eagerness and awkward introductions. A frantic-looking team of administration staff stood behind a desk to her right, trying their best to answer to the new students' needs, and another gaggle of students similarly crowded around a noticeboard, upon which was written "DORMITORY ARRANGEMENTS".
Chelsea approached the board and waited patiently for a space to appear. As soon as it did, she got a closer look at the paper and scanned for her name.
After queuing at the reception desk for several minutes to retrieve her dorm key, Chelsea headed to the East Wing to find her room. It was decidedly less grand than the rest of the academy, but it had all the essentials she'd need to get by. To kill the time, she instantly began unpacking her things and settling into her half of the room, eager to meet Anastasiya. As she folded a pair of socks and tucked them neatly away into a drawer, she couldn't help but wonder what her new room-mate was like.
