The New York Times: For Santorum, a Hard Road to Harmony With Romney
For more than four months, (Rick) Santorum has been the public face of the most searing assessments of (Mitt) Romney's character and record. And despite Mr. Santorum's decision to suspend his campaign Tuesday, it will take time for that acerbic commentary to fade. ... Mr. Santorum called Mr. Romney "uniquely disqualified" to be the Republican nominee because of his health care record. "He created the blueprint for Obamacare and advocated for exactly what Obamacare is, which is a mandated health insurance program," Mr. Santorum said (Shear, 4/11).
Politico: Newt: Health Care Is Just Like Makeup
From the file of strange analogies on the campaign trail, Newt Gingrich told a group of North Carolina high school students yesterday that modern health care is just like applying makeup: Gingrich told the students the more scientists knew about individuals, the more personalized heath care should be. Gingrich went into detail about skin tones and hair color, possibly taking tips from his wife, Callista, who was campaigning alone in New York City. "Think about it, if you're going to go out on Friday and you're going to put on makeup, each of you has a different skin tone and you have different hair color and you may want to create a different effect. If you're going to church you probably wear one level of makeup, if you're going out on a date, you may wear a different level of makeup. ..." Gingrich said. "We're going to be able to have very personalized medicine, just the way we have personalized makeup" (Schultheis, 4/10).
Meanwhile, in his Utah Senate race, GOP incumbent Orrin Hatch is getting a boost from the nursing home industry.
The Associated Press: Influence Game: Nursing Homes Come To Hatch's Aid
A trade group representing nursing homes has given the Utah Republican Party $175,000 over the past year, money that could help Sen. Orrin Hatch stave off a tea party challenge and win re-election. If he does, and if the Republicans take over the Senate, Hatch stands to chair the committee that has jurisdiction over the tens of billions of Medicare and Medicaid dollars that flow annually to nursing homes (Loftin and Freking, 4/11).

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- It was a crazy start to Derby Week - heavy rain, lightning and winds made for a very wet Backside at Churchill Downs.
But that didn't stop one trainer from sending his Derby hopeful out on the track and Steve Asmussen said Tapiture is better off for it.
Not exactly ideal conditions for a morning workout, but Tapiture appears to be a creature of routine.
That focus, Asmussen said, wasn't to be clouded up by a Monday morning storm. Especially with rain in the forecast all week.
Asmussen is facing many critics this year after accusations of horse abuse from PETA.
He fired his head trainer after a video surfaced of the alleged abuse, and even though he wasn't directly implicated many are rooting against him this Derby.

Kyle Busch continued Toyota's domination of Speed Weeks on Friday Night by winning the first official points race of the 2014 season. The Camping World Truck Series got the new season started with The NextEra Energy 250 at Daytona International Speedway after an hour and half rain delay. Starting positions were determined by practice speeds. Kyle Busch pulled off a last-minute pass coming out of turn four to beat Timothy Peters by .0017 seconds. About 3 1/2 feet.
Kyle Busch and his Toyota Tundra was the last of the Joe Gibbs Racing team to visit Victory Lane as Denny Hamlin won both the Sprint Unlimited last Saturday, and the second Duel 150 Thursday night. Gibbs teammate, Matt Kenseth won the first Duel 150. Kyle runs under Kyle Busch Motorsports in the truck series, but KBM is now a division of Joe Gibbs Racing.
After needing to skip qualifying due to weather problems, NASCAR founder Bill France Sr's grandson, Ben Kennedy started on the pole, and led the field two-wide affair for most of the early going. Kennedy survived the big wreck, and finished 15th on the evening.
It was our first look at the new trucks in action, and the performance was touch and go. The new bodies that resemble actual showroom trucks looked to be very unstable. There was a lot of side drafting, with the trucks jumping side-to-side down the straights, and especially in the 18 degree banked tri-oval.
It was great two-line racing with the bottom of the track dominating. Small groups tried to pull the train in the outside groove, but was unsuccessful until late in the race.
Getting tired of running in sixth place on the bottom line with laps counting down, Timothy Peters jumped to the outside ahead of the line, and rode the effort to the front. With some help from Ryan Truex, Peters was able to push to the front, and pass leader, Kyle Busch with three laps remaining.
Kyle Busch said he wanted to be in second place when the white flag flew, and wish came true. It was a drag race from turn four, but Busch was able to pull to the outside and nip Peters at the line. Johnny Sauter, Ryan Truex, and veteran, Ron Hornaday rounded out the top five.
It was a very good finish to what was a somewhat boring race. The new trucks performed, and had a big pile up to satisfy fans, but I think NASCAR needs to take a look at the aero package before they go to Talladega later in the year.
Kyle Busch completed the Daytona sweep by finally getting Victory Lane in the truck series on the iconic old track. He has wins in ARCA, Nationwide, and Sprint Cup cars, but this was his first win at Daytona in a truck.
The Camping World Truck Series will take a long break, and get back to work at Martinsville later next month. We will have to see how the new bodies perform at the short, and intermeadiate tracks before we can say the change was a success.

Oh yes on the Dalek + Cyberman issue I asked and he wasn't sure either and thought maybe with the 'Death to the Daleks' ep. But searching I cant find any ref to Cybermen in that ep or any other with both so I cant help I am afraid. The first seems from my limited ability to find out is the 2005 one with the fight between the two. Or possibly where they find just the head of a Cyberman when the Dalek breaks loose in the London private museum collection. I have to admit tho the thought of both together in an old episode does seem familiar to me too. It might be before my time and I have seen a clip or maybe it was a series of clips cut together where they were next to each other. There was a Dalek ep followed by a Cyberman story which is in fact the 'Genensis of the Daleks' ep of this map followed by 'Revenge of the Cybermen'.
Thats the best I can come up with.

"We are searching for a different winery for this brand"
In the February 2008 edition of Robert Parker's hugely influential Wine Advocate newsletter, critic Jay Miller gave a highly-coveted 96-point rating to a formerly pretty-much unknown Spanish red called Sierra Carche, a Monastrell-based wine from Jumilla. Given that most Americans — indeed, most wine drinkers — have never heard of either Monastrell or Jumilla, the rating was a huge boon for the wine, and directly resulted in at least one consumer, Robert Kenney, ordering several cases without having ever tasted the wine at first hand.
Dr Vino picks up the rest of the story at some length, but suffice to say that Kenney was disappointed in the wine he bought, Miller agreed with Kenney's opinion, and the importer ended up emailing this note to Miller:
"We have had similar problems with this wine and had a meeting in March with the winery to find out what the problem is. There was clearly some substandard product shipped by the winery and we have had to take back a large chunk of this wine from the market because it was rejected by the trade. I apologize on behalf of the winery for this apparent bait and switch. Going forward we are searching for a different winery for this brand (owned by our UK partner Guy Anderson wines)."
Yep: "we are searching for a different winery for this brand".
Conceptually, most of us are dimly aware that if we buy a big, mass-produced wine like Yellowtail or Jacob's Creek, we're not going to always get juice from the exact same vineyard. But Sierra Carche was different: the labels were individually numbered out of 16,000 bottles, it was getting rave reviews in Wine Advocate, and it was made from a mix of obscure grapes grown in an equally-obscure region of Spain. On its face, this was the antithesis of the kind of homogenization and globalization excoriated in Jonathan Nossiter's documentary Mondovino.
It turns out, however, that the opposite is the case.
This was the first vintage of Sierra Carche, which is owned by Guy Anderson in the United Kingdom. Guy Anderson Wines describes its business: "As one of the UK's leading brand creators, …. [w]e are constantly researching and learning what people look for when choosing a wine…. We have a strong track record of producing innovative new wine brands…. [B]rands created by Guy Anderson Wines such as Fat Bastard, Mad Dogs & Englishmen and Gran Familia have found success in markets around the world."
Sierra Carche, in other words, is a brand dreamed up by a UK wine-branding agency. And when there were problems with the first vintage of the brand, they just decided to go to some other winery to make the second vintage of the same brand. Indeed, it's still incredibly unclear where, exactly, the first vintage came from, or who the winemaker was, or even whether there was any particular winery at all involved in the production of this brand. More likely the brand was created in conjunction with the commercial arm of a group of wineries in southeastern Spain, who were looking for a way to move their juice.
Now I have no problem with foreign winemakers doing interesting things with grapes sourced cheaply from unfashionable regions. Indeed, one such wine won a Pinot contest I held at my house in 2007. But it did so honestly. Sierra Carche, by contrast, looked for all the world like a high-end wine lovingly crafted from local terroir by a dedicated Spanish winemaker, rather than a mixture of juices driven by second-guessing "what people look for when choosing a wine" and designed to be one of "a raft of wines available at your local store".
Once you know that, the Wine Advocate's 96-point rating becomes easier to understand: this wine was designed to get high ratings, because high ratings are the best possible driver of international sales. It had been, to use the wine-world term, "Parkerized". And the importer will of course have done everything in his power to ensure that Parker's critic drank the very best possible expression of the wine.
Parker has thousands of loyal followers, and if they want to go out and buy Parkerized wines, that's entirely up to them. If the wines then turn out to be very different from what the critic tasted, that's a genuine scandal. Guy Anderson Wines will go off and find "a different winery" for Sierra Carche, but will keep the brand, because that 96-point rating, even if it's for an earlier vintage, is still a great way of making sales on later vintages. Consumers will assume there's some kind of continuity there.
But many of them will also assume that Miller somehow stumbled across this gem from Spain, rather than thinking that they're drinking an English brand, made from Spanish grapes, specifically designed to appeal to Miller's palate. But that's what a lot of winemaking is, these days. And it's increasingly difficult to tell the difference between honest local wines, on the one hand, and Parkerized global brands, on the other.

It is? I could have sworn the fruit-forward taste would give you away, whatever the relative status of the brand designer versus winemaker. If anything, this story indicates that you can't, actually, just sell slop on a good review: they importer had to take back the wine from the market. I don't know if I've ever read something more complimentary to Parker devotees, whom I previously held in uniform disdain.
As for branding, I am not nearly so shocked here as when I learned recently that Patron was not started by a large multinational distiller like Diageo, but by hair-products magnate Paul Mitchell. Who knew?
Gee, I just LOVE globalization!
Nice summary of the problem. The guy who went out and bought a few cases of the wine without ever having tasted it or heard of it – from his other posts I think he's a pretty inexperienced guy who is dying to learn more. He sure did!
As far as "globalization" goes – Rockfish – you're very lucky enough to live in the Rhone Valley, or Tuscany, or some such beautiful area where you can get the local wines. Because certainly someone who has a problem with "globalization" wouldn't live in the UK, where you had to import the wines from another region of the globe, or in northern Europe or much of the US or Canada.
I bought a few bottles when that deal came over. I was new. What can I tell you?
First bottle was terrible. Thick smell of black liquorice, which I hate. So bad I covered the glass as it was sitting in front of me. Gave a bottle away (they like black liquorice). Opened another when somebody was over, under the "want to try something weird" plan. No liquorice smell. Great tasting wine.
That turned me off to RP ratings and Spanish wine for a while. I use ratings now as more of a "is it terrible" filter. I imagine it would be tough to find a really great wine that isn't Parkerized with a bad rating, but an OK rating, or no rating, doesn't mean anything.
PS. that was also right about the time I stopped paying attention to wine library. Liked the show a lot before then, and have started to watch here and there, but you can't buy something just because Gary is pushing it.
Great work, Felix. I hope you continue to follow this story unfold, as the coverup is always bigger than the crime.
My issue is not with "transporting" things, which is how people have procured silk, spices, etc from distant places since the dawn of civilization. My problem is with a world where a British marketing company "invents" a wine brand based on focus group testing, contracts a shady Spanish wine conglomerate to fill bottles with whatever grape swill they have lying around, and ships it to the US in the hands of some marketing lackeys where by some mystery it is declared "fabulous" and "undrinkable" by the same blogging wine critic.
I am mourning the loss of any shred of integrity or authenticity in the brand-managed, out-sourced world we find ourselves in.
The disillusionment of Felix Salmon is seemingly endless.
The whole thing underlines the need for more standards on labeling. Between private retailer labels and instances such as this, the larger question has less to do with the critics reviews, and more to do with how consumers (and critics, for that matter) find out who actually made what is in the bottle, and where and how it was made.
Maybe Miller should have done more homework on the source of something to which he gave a 96 point rating. WA is pretty upfront, though, that it was established more as a rating service for consumers, and less as a source if vineyard/winery journalism. For the most part, I'm counting on critics to provide me accurate comments on what they smelled and tasted from the bottle. I'm counting on wineries, importers, distributors and retailers to tell me the truth about the wine, and on federal and local regulators to make sure what it says on the label is correct. I don't know how much I can blame a critic if those folks don't fulfill their responsibilities. With newspapers and other funding sources for serious investigative journalism dropping like flies, I am grateful for sources like Reuters to catch stuff like this.
Interesting story. But i don't think the issue is marketing companies creating brands or with Parkerization/globalization of wine, whatever… If one follows Parker, then i would assume they like wines rated high by Parker. If the buyer of a couple cases of this wine, doesn't like it, well then, that should tell him to stop following Parker, or Miller in this case.
It seems like the real issue here is bottle variation. Sounds like huge variation, even to the embarrassment of the importer. I remember years ago when Parker stopped rating "Fighting Varietals" because by the end of a vintage, it was simply not the same wine (much like Two Buck Chuck). That is the biggest issue with any winery—whether real or virtual, is maintaining the integrity of the product— the blend at the time of bottling to make sure it is consistent. If not, I would hope that the wine critics eventually drop covering that winery.
I would hope that Mr. Kenny starts trying wine that is highly rated & purchased as a result and determining whether his palate is the same as Dr. Miller or Mr. Parker. To simply by 96 pt rated wines that you don't like, is well, um stupid!
It used to be the importer\'s responsibility or that of a (domestic) wine merchant to assure his clientele that the wine he/she was selling was indeed the wine the vintner had sold him.
In case of imported wines I remember clearly that next to the listed name of a wine on a wine list the importer\'s name was equally prominently displayed.
The so-called famous \'best barrel/best cask\' was and is still reality. Back then, different importers used to buy different casks of different qualities of the very same wine at different prices. The importer with a very well-off clientele and the highest reputation – established over centuries – was able to afford and offered to purchase the \'best barrel\' priced at a premium. Those merchants who catered to other market segments and looked at wine strictly as commodities were only interested in \'buying famous vineyard/winery names\'.
Why does anyone believe that this situation has ever changed? It really hasn\'t. Those variations of quality still exist among the same wines.
I started buying individual \'lots\' (individual casks/barrels/tanks) of wines 16 years ago and invented a system to guarantee that I would receive the same wines I tasted, selected and shipped – when I found out that not all things are created equal in the wine business (and not everyone could be (blindly) trusted).
Since 1985 my objective has been to establishing the reputation of the wine producers in our portfolio — not the fame or score of any particular wine reviewer/magazine. As a result almost none of our wines have ever been submitted for a review and therefore almost never been sold in retail shop (no score, no sale) but luckily we\'ve been able to build a loyal clientele of restaurant wine buyers/sommeliers who were and are interested in buying top-quality WINES not the newest highest point releases.
Unfortunately, the reputation of a bottle of wine has slowly shifted from the reputation of an importer/wine merchant/winery to \'famous\' wine reviewers/wine magazines over the last decades.
This is how it works today: Once the producer receives a high score he\'s basically hit a home run. He\'ll be able to sell his entire production (of different qualities) at the very same (high) price and an importer can order the next full containers of \"more of the same\"…..
The way I see it, this \'problem\' has been largely created by those who are in the business of \"SELLING POINTS\"…not WINE.
The last paragraph should read: "The way I see it, this 'problem' has not been created by professional wine critiques but largely by those who are in the business of "SELLING POINTS" (a large number of retailers, distributors, importers, wineries, restaurants)…not WINE."
> I apologize on behalf of the winery for this apparent bait and switch.
Reminded me of a recent broadcast by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) on how one can walk into a liquor store, buy a bottle in the "Canadian Wines" section, and walk out with a "blended" wine that is 75% non-Canadian. The bottler has wine from an overseas vineyard which they mix in with Canadian and sell as Canadian. I have no problem with globalization, I have a problem being told one thing and sold another. For shame on the propagators of both of these schemes.
The REAL problem are the CONSUMERS who BLINDLY accept ratings and wine show awards as gospel. That and lazy retailers/distributors who only sell wines based on these same results.

caution: this blog may contain lots of cats

Here is my opinion on the new UConn Mascot.
- If you look at the changes that have been made from the 1970s on they have been very subtle, this change should have followed suit, I don't think I would hate it as much if they had kept it a side profile? Or maybe changed the profile but left off the blue? It's not the same breed as our real dog…
- This is the new "athletics logo" but it is being forced on the entire institution and will not JUST be appearing on uniforms and in sports venues. It's going to be all over campus, in all the residents halls, in the Student Union, on the lamp posts, EVERYWHERE. So it's not just the "athletics logo" it's the logo for the whole University.
- That being said, athletics was the only department truly consulted on the creation of the new logo. There are 700 student athletes and 17,000 undergraduate students. Apparently it is not important if the rest of us identify with the traits of the new husky as long as the athletes want to wear it onto the court/field.
- The University of Connecticut is an academic institution first and foremost. We are not a professional sports team. They are acting like UConn is ONLY athletics. I am heavily involved on campus and have been recognized as a student leader on several occasions. Are my contributions considered lesser because they are under the department of Student Activities and not under athletics? I consider myself an asset to campus just as any of the registered student athletes are assets to campus. So why doesn't it matter if I identify with the logo?
- The new logo, as quoted by Geno Auriemma in the official press conference, "is everything that a Husky is supposed to be – powerful, aggressive, determined…It is looking right through you and saying 'Do not mess with me.' This is a streamlined, fighting dog…" This is the same University that has been working so hard in the last few years to end aggression and destructive behavior in their students. Now you're telling us that in order to be respected by institutions we have to be aggressive and fighters? I for one do not feel like you need to be feared and be aggressive in order to be a respected and powerful individual. But apparently my opinions don't matter because students (other than athletes) were not consulted until AFTER the logo was released.

Drone congregation area
Drone congregation area (DCA) is a place where drones fly most of the time after leaving the nest. The DCA is 30-200 m in diameter and 15-40 m above ground [1][2]. Drones fly back and forth in this area producing audible sound similar to a swarm of bees. Drones can choose among many DCA near the apiary. During its life a drone can visit few different DCA. Sometimes more than one DCA is visited by the same drone during one day [3].
The same place can be chosen by honey bees as DCA year after year [4][5], however, it is not known what makes the places attractive to drones. It was suggested that choice of the places is related to perception of Earth's magnetic field [6][7] or "lightfield form" [8], however, those suggestions remain unconfirmed. Usually there is an open space around DCA without trees or hils [9][1] see also [10]. Sometimes it is located over water or forest. Formation of DCA can be affected by pheromones produced by drones [11]. Artificial DCA can be induced with large amounts of queen substance [12]. In order to confirm presence of DCA, caged queen fixed to a balloon is placed in mid-air [13]. Presence of DCA is indicated by drones congregating around the caged queen. Instead of the queen its pheromones can be used [14][15].
In order to reach DCA drones travel up to 7 km and cross mountain ridges 800-1000 m high [5][16]. Mean flight distance of drones is 900 m [17]. The drones prefer DCA located close to the nest [18][19].
Number of drones present at DCA depends on weather and time of day. It can range from few hundred to few thousand [20]. In region with high density of honey bee colonies DCA was visited during one hour by 11750±2145 (mean±SD) drones (maximum 15290) [21]. Drones at DCA are not related and represent about 240 colonies [22] see also [23][24]. The same DCA can be visited by different subspecies [5][25].
The concentration of drones is highest in the centre of DCA [26]. The diameter of DCA at higher distance from the ground is smaller and its centre is not always in the same place at different heights [26][27]. Drones fly to the DCA along tree rows and other features of landscape at maximum hight above ground 21 m [28]. Neighbouring DCA are often connected by flyways.
Queen is attractive to drones only within DCA. If queen is few meters outside the DCA (both in horizontal and vertical direction) drones stop pursuing her [1]. Distance above the ground where queen is attractive to drones differed between days and it is probably affected by weather [13].
It was suggested that drones visiting DCA release a pheromone which is attractive to queens [29].

Horrible Bosses
For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers -- permanently. There's only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
Created by
The most startling comic vision in "Horrible Bosses'' is Colin Farrell as Bobby Pellit, one of the three title terrors. The actor - sexy, stroppy, Irish - has reinvented himself as a vicious little freak with the aid of hair and makeup. But what hair and makeup! A greasy black comb-over barely hides Bobby's bulging skull; the character seems top-heavy with bile and resentment. The beady eyes of a paranoid dart beneath a protuberant brow, and even Bobby's goatee seems obscene. This is the kind of makeover Tom Cruise gave himself in "Tropic Thunder,'' but Farrell goes further in turning his character into a surreal comic runt. If they gave out Oscars for creative debasement, he'd be a lock.(Full review)

And please,
just let me finally learn the lessons that life has been trying so hard to teach me.
This is the school I have been dreaming of since 14. This is the...
I don't have your email :(
"…there ain't no journey what don't change you some."
"You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human."
"& only as you gasp your dying breath shall you understand, your life amounted to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean!
Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?"
"…my dreams are the single unpredictable factor in my zoned days and nights. Nobody allots them, or censors them. Dreams are all I have ever truly owned."
"Fantasy. Lunacy.
All revolutions are, until they happen, then they are historical inevitabilities."
Truth is singular. It's 'versions' are mistruths."

TSP seeks to supplant G Fund in automatic enrollments
Federal employees could soon be seeing a lot less of the G Fund in their Thrift Savings plan accounts. Instead of being automatically enrolled solely in government securities, new plan participants would be shifted to an age-appropriate Lifecycle, or L, Fund as their default investing option under a proposal approved by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board Monday. The proposal ultimately requires action by Congress.

AUSTIN — A new landmark law to boost public school alternatives in Texas followed a surge in political contributions by current and former board members and employees of the state's six largest charter school operators, an analysis by The Associated Press has found.Texas Ethics Commission filings show that charter school-affiliated donations to officeholders and key candidates peaked during the 2010 and 2012 election cycles with a combined $518,000 – nearly double the total from the election cycles of 2006 and 2008. Although the total amount is relatively small – especially given deep-pocketed donors in the oil and natural gas sectors – after the increase, the Legislature approved a law in May that will expand by 42 percent the maximum amount of charter school licenses allowed in Texas by 2019.Andrew Wheat, research director for Texans for Public Justice, a progressive-leaning political watchdog group, said Texas spends about $55 billion a year on 5 million-plus public school students, with only about 4 percent of those attending charters. "So there's potential for huge increases in political spending by charters seeking larger slabs of the pie," said Wheat, who helped compile the analysis.AP's analysis tracked 112 contributors who wrote 926 checks from Jan. 1, 2005, to June 30 this year. Donations totaled about $133,000 and $132,000 before the 2006 and 2008 elections, respectively. Political contributions ahead of the 2010 election exceeded $290,000; and nearly $228,000 poured in before the 2012 vote.Other states have seen political contributions from charter school-affiliated donors rise, coinciding with GOP-controlled legislatures in South Carolina, Missouri and Michigan also voting in recent years to expand charter schools. In many other places, the bulk of the donations went to Republicans – but Texas' top overall recipient was a Democrat, 2010 gubernatorial hopeful Bill White.David Dunn, executive director of the Texas Charter Schools Association, said he couldn't speak to the impact of political donations but noted that the law won wide bipartisan support – even in the Texas House, which did not approve charter bills that cleared the state Senate in 2009 and 2011. "That's because we've been working hard and because it's the right thing to do," Dunn said. Well-connected donorsThe law allows the largest expansion of charter schools statewide since 2001, boosting the maximum to 305 from 215. It also overhauled the charter approval process. Instead of leaving it up to the State Board of Education to approve new charters as in years past, the law gives the governor-appointed Texas education commissioner the power to approve new charter licenses. The board still retains veto power. Donors affiliated with KIPP Houston Public Schools, Texas' fourth-largest charter network by enrollment, accounted for the most political contributions during the last four election cycles, nearly $452,000. The network with the second-largest donor base was Uplift Education, whose allied donors contributed about $124,700. Some of the charter board members making sizable donations, however, are simply well-connected executives who would be contributing to Texas political leaders regardless of their affiliation with charter schools. The largest overall donor was Stan Marek, president and CEO of the contracting giant Marek Family of Cos. He gave nearly $122,000 between 2006 and last year, with the biggest donations going to White. Marek said he supported leaders who will push meaningful immigration reform that helps businesses stay competitive – not charter school advocates. "I think charter schools are great," he said, "but I'm not going to send money to X politician for that alone." Bipartisan donationsThe largest beneficiary of charter school-related donations was White, a former mayor of Houston, which is the state's most-active area for charter schools. He raked in nearly $132,000 between 2005 and 2010, when he unsuccessfully ran for governor. Gov. Rick Perry was second, with his charter-school linked donations totaling $83,000 between 2005 and the first six months of this year. The third-highest recipient was state Rep. Dan Branch, a key lieutenant with the ability to marshal votes for House Speaker Joe Straus. Branch received $14,250, much of that from donors associated with Uplift Education, which has its hub in his district in suburban Dallas. Branch, who is running for attorney general, responded, "Our campaign is pleased to have a broad base of support from all across Texas, including those who believe that children need more educational options, especially when trapped in failing schools." Straus received $10,000 between 2010 and last year from Will Harte, a charter school advocate once listed as an interim Texas CEO with Arizona-based Carpe Diem Schools. In November, the state education board endorsed Carpe Diem for a new charter operating license. It plans to open five campuses in San Antonio.Harte declined to comment. Straus' spokesman Jason Embry said, "Mr. Harte is a family friend of the speaker's, but decisions about charter schools are made by the commissioner and the State Board of Education." Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott, who issued nine charter school-related opinions from his post and is the front-runner in next year's governor's race, got just under $12,000 from donors with major charter school ties.
Donations at a glance An Associated Press analysis of state campaign finance reports shows political contributions from donors with strong ties to the state's six largest charter school operators spiked during the 2010 and 2012 election cycles, nearly doubling similar donations in 2006 and 2008. A look at where those donations came from and where it went: Charter-affiliated donations by election cycle 2006: $132,712 2008: $131,865 2010: $290,226 2012: $227,649 How much those affiliated with top operators donated KIPP Houston Public Schools: $451,877 Harmony Public Schools: $103,115 Uplift Education: $124,702 Who got the most Democrat Bill White, former gubernatorial candidate: $131,755 Republican Gov. Rick Perry: $83,000 State Rep. Dan Branch, R-Dallas: $14,250 Source: Texas Ethics Commission filings from Jan. 1, 2005, through June 30, 2013

Heart Disease Health Center
Heart Disease and the Heart CT Scan
A heart computerized tomography (CT) scan, also called calcium-score screening heart scan, is a test used to detect calcium deposits found in atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries of heart disease patients. State-of-the-art computerized tomography (CT) methods, such as this one, are the most effective way to detect coronary calcification from atherosclerosis, before symptoms develop. More coronary calcium means more coronary atherosclerosis, suggesting a greater likelihood of significant narrowing somewhere in the coronary system and a higher risk of future cardiovascular problems.
Your doctor uses the calcium-score screening heart scan to evaluate risk for future coronary artery disease.
Recommended Related to Heart Disease
As a psychologist who has counseled heart patients for more than thirty years, Wayne Sotile, PhD, knows exactly how much they worry about sex after a heart attack. "And if they're not anxious, believe me, their partner's anxious," he says. Couples worry about triggering a second heart attack, or even that a patient could die in the bedroom. But Sotile and cardiologists tell WebMD that sex isn't nearly as risky as many patients believe. With a touch of reassurance, heart patients can once...
Read the Sex After a Heart Attack article > >
Because there are certain forms of coronary disease, such as "soft plaque" atherosclerosis, that escape detection during this CT scan, it is important to remember that this test is not absolute in predicting your risk for a life-threatening event, such as a heart attack.
Your doctor may also order a coronary CT angiogram (CTA) to look directly at the arteries of the heart. With the CTA, pictures of your coronary arteries are made. This is regularly performed in addition to a heart CT scan now.
How Should I Prepare for a Heart CT Scan?
You may continue to take any medications, but should avoid caffeine and smoking for four hours before the test. CT scanners use X-rays. For your safety, the amount of radiation exposure is kept to a minimum. But, because X-rays can harm a developing fetus, this procedure is not recommended if you are pregnant. Tell your technologist and your doctor if you are:
- Pregnant
- Undergoing radiation therapy
What Can I Expect During a Heart CT Scan?
During the CT scan of your heart:
- You will change into a hospital gown. The nurse will record your height, weight, and blood pressure. He or she may draw your blood for a lipid analysis.
- You will lie on a special scanning table.
- The technologist will clean three small areas of your chest and place small, sticky electrode patches on these areas. Men may expect to have their chest partially shaved to help the electrodes stick. The electrodes are attached to an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitor, which charts your heart's electrical activity during the test.
You may also be given an injection of a contrast material to help the CT scanner directly visualize your coronary arteries.
- During the scan, you will feel the table move inside a donut-shaped scanner. The high-speed CT scan captures multiple images, synchronized with your heartbeat.
- A sophisticated computer program, guided by the cardiovascular radiologist, analyzes the images for presence of calcification within the coronary arteries. Absence of calcium is considered a "negative" exam. But, it does not exclude the presence of "soft" noncalcified plaque. If calcium is present, the computer will create a calcium "score" that estimates the extent of coronary artery disease.
The calcium-score screening heart scan takes only a few minutes.

Few weeks ago I made a short trip to Moab, Utah. The weather was interesting, the first day it was hot around 65 degrees, next day it snowed and the temps fell down to around 30 and again warm the day after the snow. I was more motivated to drive around and look at the crazy rock in the canyons and also to check out the arches. The grades are so sandbagged but my wife and I had fun anyways. I was able to get some of the difficult classics of the area, enjoy!

Marble Palace
One of Kolkata's most unusual sites, this palace was built by a local member of the 19th century gentry in a marvelous patchwork of classical architectural styles. Lavish use is made of Italian marble, and the lawns contain an eclectic pantheon of statues including Christopher Columbus and the Buddha. The Marble Palace is a place of drama and dilapidation - and unsurprisingly, has frequently been used as a movie set. It remains a private residence, however, so you'll have to arrange a permit to view the interior (a worthwhile activity, if only to gawk at the impressive art lining the walls). Once you have obtained the permit, entrance to the palace is free and a member of the staff should show you around and tell you about the place - if you are impressed with your guide than a tip may be in order. Frequently, those who arrive without the permit are persuaded by the guards to pay bribes to get in but this is not advisable as once you have bribed one, you may be expected to pay another a few steps later! Next to the palace, you'll find the Marble Palace Zoo - the first zoo opened in India, it is now primarily an aviary, housing peacocks, hornbills, pelicans, storks and cranes. No photography is permitted in the palace.
Address: 46 Muktaram Basu Street (off Chittaranjan Avenue)
Telephone: +91 (0)33 2282 5813 (tourist office)
Opening times: Open from 10am to 4pm (daily except Mondays and Thursdays)
Admission: Free, but visitors must obtain a prior permit from the West Bengal Tourism Information Bureau. These offices are located at 3/2 Benoy Badal Dinesh Bagh (East), Kolkata.

Workshop provides tools to help ease the process of upgrading applications built with version 8.1. These tools are designed to read your version 8.1 code and generate a new corresponding version 10.x (or 9.2) workspace. The newly generated code is a migrated, upgraded version of the 8.1 code in which all of the clearly predictable changes have been made (note that your application logic is not altered by upgrade tools). The new code supports a new annotation model, a different project model, and other component-oriented changes.
Note: The Workshop upgrade documentation assumes that your application was developed using WebLogic Workshop version 8.1. If it wasn't, you must migrate your code so that it builds and runs in the WebLogic Workshop IDE version 8.1 SP4, SP5, or SP6 before using the tools described here to upgrade to Workshop version 10.x.
Note: If you want to upgrade a version 8.1 SP6 application to version 9.2, you must first upgrade to 9.2 MP1 or higher.
This topic provides an overview of the changes from version 8.1 to version 10.x, as well as suggested high-level steps for approaching upgrade.
Differences Between the Version 8.1 and 10.x IDEs, and the Applications Built with Them
Upgrade Process: High Level Steps
Preparing a Version 8.1 Application for Upgrade
Actions Performed By Upgrade Tools
If you've been developing on WebLogic Workshop version 8.1, the most significant differences you'll notice in version 10.x (and applications built with it) are likely to be:
You might also be interested in reading Key Differences for WebLogic Workshop 8.1 Users.
Unlike version 8.1, in version 10.x the IDE is built on the Eclipse Platform. This is a change that offers many benefits, including: the transparency of an open-source architecture; commonly used features that are familiar because they're available with other widely used Eclipse-based IDEs; and a widely used extensibility model via the Eclipse plug-in framework. To this open framework, Workshop adds many features to support iterative development of the kinds of components you built with version 8.1.
Needless to say, moving from the version 8.1 IDE to the Eclipse-based version 10.x means that there are significant user interface changes. The following list describes how familiar version 8.1 features are (or are not) rendered in version 10.x.
Many of the changes from the version 8.1 to the version 10.x project model are intended to align the model with broadly used Eclipse and Java conventions. If you've used other Eclipse-based IDEs, version 10.x of Workshop should feel familiar. For a list of significant changes, see Changes During Upgrade from WebLogic Workshop 8.1 to Version 10.x.
Workshop version 10.x supports the Java 5 annotation model. Whereas in version 8.1 the annotations in your source code were embedded in Javadoc-style comments, their version 10.x counterparts are outside the comment block. In the abstract, however, there are more similarities than differences between the annotation model in versions 8.1 and 10.x. In other words, for most version 8.1 annotations there are version 10.x counterparts that use the new syntax. Note that as with version 8.1, the version 10.x IDE provides an editor (the Annotations view) through which you can view and edit annotation attribute values. For more information on the changes, see Upgrading Annotations. Note that in version 10.x, the Annotations view is replaced by the Properties view.
These are changes that are specific to component types, such as web services, EJBs, controls, and so on. They primarily affect source code. You can read Changes During Upgrade from WebLogic Workshop 8.1 to Version 10.x for a summary list, or see the individual technology-oriented topics listed at the bottom of this topic under Related Topics.
These steps assume that your application was developed with WebLogic Workshop. If you wrote your code without using that IDE and you want to upgrade it using Workshop upgrade tools, you must first migrate your code so that it builds and runs in the WebLogic Workshop IDE.
Upgrading domains and upgrading WebLogic Workshop applications are separate processes, but they're interrelated. For information about upgrading version 8.1 WebLogic Workshop domains, see WebLogic Workshop Version 8.1 Domains Can Be Upgraded from Within Version 10.x.
For a list of suggested pre-upgraded changes, see Preparing a Version 8.1 Application for Upgrade.
Also, see Changes During Upgrade from WebLogic Workshop 8.1 to Version 10.x and Notes About General Issues. Those sections list upgrade-related issues, providing links to more information.
How To: Use the Import Wizard to Upgrade Version 8.1 Applications describes how to use the tool.
You can also perform the wizard's work through the upgradeStarter Command or upgrade Ant Task.
If your applications are complex, upgrading them from version 8.1 to version 10.x is likely to be a multi-step process. A key part of that process will be the upgrade support the IDE provides via upgrade tools. But you'll also find that some preparatory work on your version 8.1 application makes the wizard's end result much easier to work with and get running.
Take a look through the upgrade documentation provided here. Many of the notes recommend ways to edit your version 8.1 application to make your upgraded code easier to get running.
Note that
Workshop includes three tools that automate most parts of the upgrade process. Each tool does essentially the same thing, allowing you to specify applications and parameters for upgrade: the import wizard is available as user interface in the IDE; upgradeStarter Command exposes options from the command line; and the upgrade Ant task exposes options for use from Ant.
Note: You can also upgrade individual files once they're in the version 10.x IDE. To do this, right-click the file, then click Upgrade Source Files. For information about the error logging and message verbosity options, see To Import and Upgrade a Version 8.1 Application.
Note: The upgradeStarter Command may require you to make some manual changes to your applcation after upgrading. You can avoid these manual changes by using the import wizard.
The following briefly describes actions performed (and not performed) by the upgrader.
Whether you use the import wizard, command-line, or Ant task to upgrade, Workshop will generate a log of the upgrade changes, errors, and warnings. If you use the import wizard, this log will also be displayed in a dialog you can review before completing the process.
You can expand the node for each file to view the upgrade messages associated with that file. The following key describes the symbols displayed next to file names:
Informational message.
Warning message.
Error message.
Upgrade tools generate a log file containing upgrade messages. This file is available at the following location after upgrade has completed:
A log message in the file will take the following form:
!SUBENTRY 1 com.bea.workshop.upgrade81 severity_level date time
!MESSAGE Upgrade-related message.
The severity_level will be two numbers, but they have the same meaning. The date and time entries refer to when the upgrade was attempted. The upgrade-related message describes what was done, warned about, or the error that occurred. The following is a snippet that shows two log entry examples:
!SUBENTRY 1 com.bea.workshop.upgrade81 2 2 2006-02-27 17:17:53.687 !MESSAGE The 10.x control context only supports a subset of the 8.1 control context APIs. Please see the Workshop upgrade documentation for more information. !SUBENTRY 1 com.bea.workshop.upgrade81 1 1 2006-02-27 17:17:53.687 !MESSAGE The import "com.bea.control.JwsContext" needs to be updated.

The boy Neymar
Already a hit with the teenagers, Neymar has established a popstar status in Brazil, where his style is emulated on and off the pitch. Fashion highlights and stepovers aside, this kid is actually the real deal on the pitch.
Neymar is the only player who performs in the Brazilian league to make the 23-man shortlist for the Fifa Ballon d'Or award.
I've seen him play live, and this kid has got bags of potential, as everybody already knows. It will obviously depend on how he adapts to life in Europe once he makes his inevitable move to either England or Spain. I really hope he doesn't go to Barcalona or Real Madrid, where it is notoriously hard to adapt.
