Turner to Visit Oklahoma State Feb. 1
Myles Turner has rescheduled his official visit to Oklahoma State for Feb. 1 when the Cowboys play Baylor, his father told SNY.tv.
The 6-foot-11 Trinity (TX) Euless big man was originally supposed to visit Dec. 6 but wasn't able to make it.
He has also visited Ohio State and Texas.
Turner is now listing Ohio State, Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma State and SMU, and plans to sign late.
Turner is projected as the No. 2 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by DraftExpress.com, and on Monday was named to the USA Nike Hoop Summit roster.
Oklahoma State is also making a strong run at Huntington (W.V.) Prep guard JaQuan Lyle, with head coach Travis Ford having watched him this past weekend in Ohio.

Yesterday, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued two decisions clarifying the scope of the Payment of Wages Act. First, in Awuah v. Coverall North America, Inc., the Court held that a company which had misclassified employees as franchisees was not permitted to withhold payment of wages until it received payments from customers. Second, in Rosnov v. Molloy, the Court held that the July 12, 2008 amendment to the statute, which made treble damages mandatory, was not retroactive.
Awuah v. Coverall North America, Inc.
In Awuah, the plaintiffs sued Coverall in federal court, alleging that they were misclassified as franchisees rather than employees, and that they were owed wages. One of the plaintiffs had a franchise agreement that provided for "account receivable financing," meaning that the plaintiff was paid for his work only after the customer had paid Coverall for his services, except where Coverall paid interest-free advances. If the plaintiff received advance payment but the customer did not pay, Coverall had the right under the agreement to recapture the advance. Further, the plaintiffs were required to pay for their own workers' compensation insurance and had to pay a franchise fee and monthly management fees.

Regatta ship review
Member reviews
Day 5: Friday, Gdansk
Fantastic weather (clear blue skies and lots of sun) and a quiet, lazy morning were mine to enjoy before Regatta was to reach Gdansk. Breakfast on the Terrace would have been a natural for a day like this, but I ran into my new solo friend Michelle -- the one who is traveling on Regatta, like me, because she has had a birthday with a 0 in it (a few decades less than mine, by the way) -- and we decided to go to the special brunch being held in the Grand Dining Room.
When I found Michelle, she was with Leslie Jon, Regatta's Cruise Director, and another member of his entertainment staff, Christopher. All of the staff, including busy Leslie, go out of their way to ensure that single travelers don't feel alone, don't want for anything. I took Christopher's seat when he left to monitor a Table Tennis tournament, joining a small group including a mother and daughter traveling together.
Leslie, who had been the Cruise Director on Regatta when I had sailed on it five years ago, talks about where Cruise Directors end up when they retire. Because they are primarily entertainers, many choose Los Angeles or New York. Leslie is thinking about Las Vegas for when that day arrives for him. I hope it is none too soon so I have the opportunity to travel with him again. He's funny, engaging and terribly smart. During his talk every morning he throws out trivia-type questions that are pretty difficult to answer without doing research -- tough on a ship, unless you want to spend thousands on Internet use. Questions like: "Connecticut is one, what is the only other state that cannot be spelled in Scrabble without using the blank?" The answer: Kentucky. Scrabble has only one K. (Although, if we want to get technical, it is a trick question as proper nouns are not allowed in Scrabble!) Or, "Who was the only person to have played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Texas Rangers and the New York Knicks?" Whoa, even I know that the first two are baseball teams and the last is basketball ... and I know that Deion Sanders played both football
baseball, but this one really had me stuck. The answer is, and I suppose I should have seen it coming, the organist. Sheesh.
Just before 11 a.m., Ian McCormack, the expert who held the enrichment lecture on Faberge, also has a talk on Baltic amber. We missed a portion of it since we were still enjoying brunch, but I got the important gist of it: how to discover if the amber you are considering buying is fake. Amber is a lightweight stone made from ancient petrified tree sap, and certainly easy to replicate in plastic. Gdansk is a premium spot for picking up Baltic amber, either loose or in jewelry form; it's harder and more durable than amber from around the Dominican Republic.
I learned three important things from Ian's talk that any cruisers serious about buying amber on a Baltic cruise should know. One: If it has a nice bug in it, it's probably fake. Amber pieces with good bugs are already taken. Two: When you hold real amber in your hand, it should get warm. And three: If you lick it, it should not have any taste. Plastic tastes like, well, plastic.
We actually arrived in Gdansk a bit early and berthed at the dock in the actual city rather than in Gdynia, several miles and lots of traffic away, as the larger ships generally have to do (and did today -- there were several in port that day, disgorging approximately 7,000 cruisers into this ancient city on Poland's Baltic coast). One benefit to us being on Regatta is that because of the ship's small size, we were able to take advantage of narrower and shallower ports that larger ships just can't navigate.
For Gdansk I selected an overview tour with a walk through Old Gdansk. Other tours offered included trips to a concentration camp and to the Polish countryside. I wanted to see Old Gdansk, which I had heard was charming, and had great shopping! As a first-timer, I wanted the broadest overview of the city possible without the potential to get bored if there were too many details or too long of a historic perspective.
As we drove to the city's center through its green and leafy surrounding suburbs, we saw Westerplatte, where the first shots were fired to start World War II, and the current home of Lech Walesa, Poland's former president, Nobel Peace Prize winner and the original voice of the 1980's trade union, Solidarity, that helped bring down Poland's Soviet rule. The traffic mid-city was amazingly heavy; we learned that there is a great deal of road work going on because the city is to be host to some football (soccer) championships in 2009/2010, and that Gdansk will also be the seat of several important European Union council meetings during the same timeframe.
Small, narrow, cobbled streets with burgher-style houses fill old Gdansk, with most now having been made into stores or restaurants. Carts with amber line the little avenues and pedestrian passages. I looked at several pieces of jewelry that I found interesting and was shocked at their expense. Even more, I was shocked at how many of them seemed to be plastic ... no, I did not
them, but they seemed to have mold marks on them. And they didn't seem to get warm when I held them. One shopkeeper seemed alarmed at the fact that I closed my hand over the piece; I am sure he thought that I would spirit it away without paying for it. He didn't understand when I explained that I was trying to see if it got warm.
I also looked at other items for sale, like some hats that a lady made herself out of crocheted hemp, and an artist's small carved pieces of wood, but nothing appealed to me or seemed to be the right price. I decided to sit down for something to drink and a light lunch since I hadn't had anything since my brunch with Michelle.
There are several cute, fun-looking restaurants along the promenade on the river. I chose one that had comfy cushioned seats on the outside patio and settled in for a nice break. I ordered a Coke, beet borscht soup with beef dumplings and a small salad. I thought I'd just enjoy some pastoral people-watching time but alas, a pre-teen with a cell phone and an accordion decided to busk right in front of me. If it had been even slightly musical I probably would have loved it, but she played the same off-key three notes again and again and again. The couple at the next table was from Celebrity Constellation (moored in Gdynia) ... together we contemplated offering her money to just stop playing altogether. Yes, it was
Although Poland is part of the European Union, it has not yet switched from its currency of
to the euro, hoping to avoid some of the inflation issues that have plagued other countries when they switched too quickly. Although I had had no idea how much it would be when I ordered it, my mini-meal ended up costing $8 U.S.
One of the most fascinating sights to see here is the Crane, a 15th century contraption. It was a human-powered device with two round wooden cylinders, each maybe 15 feet in diameter and about 20 feet above ground. The cylinders resembled hamster wheels, and in effect, that's what they were, for humans. According to our guide, four people were put in each wheel and used their leg power to walk or run and make the crane work. In the 1400's! Amazing.
We were a bit early leaving the city, so we got to stop for a few seconds at the Solidarity Monument and the gates of the Gdansk Shipyards where modern Poland was born in the 1980's. Some 19,000 ship workers went on strike, demanding humanitarian considerations. The political party of Solidarity emerged from the trade union's demands and nearly one third of all Poles joined the organization. Its leader was an electrician, Lech Walesa, whose passion and grit helped fuel the fall of communism in Poland and several other Eastern European countries. Walesa went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize and was later elected president of Poland. He served one term but was not re-elected; only 1 percent of the voting population selected him the second time around. According to our guide, he had no formal education, was not well-spoken and didn't have the skills to communicate well with other world leaders. She also said that the rest of the world thinks much more highly of Lech Walesa than do the citizens of Poland, for whom he is largely forgotten.
Tonight, back on the ship, suite guests were treated to a special outdoor dinner. I spied the area while taking an evening stroll. One side of Deck 9, the area called The Patio, was set up as an outdoor kitchen and seating area -- under cover, but the weather was terrific still, so it was a perfect venue and a perfect night for an outdoor soiree. Pascal Lesueur, the Executive Chef for the ship, arranged the dinner on an outdoor stainless steel contraption as complete as any in-home kitchen I have ever seen. The suite guests had the opportunity to enjoy a few of Chef Lesueur's favorite appetizers, soups, and main dishes, including sea bream and roast pork loin, in an elegant, secluded atmosphere available only to them.
Next time around, I'll try to book early enough to snag a suite, which often sell out as fast as an itinerary is posted.

Arena football: Newcomer sparks Utah vs. San Jose
When the week started, Chris Bocage had just finished spring football at Louisburg College in North Carolina, where he serves as receivers coach.
Saturday night, he did most of his work in the end zone at EnergySolutions Arena.
Signed Thursday to help shore up an injury-riddled Utah Blaze receiving corps, Bocage scored four touchdowns and recovered an onside kick in the final minute to help the Blaze to a 76-68 victory against the San Jose Sabercats.
"I sent my film out to every team in the country," said Bocage, who caught six passes for 75 yards and three of Tommy Grady's nine touchdown passes. "Coach [Ron James] gave me a chance to come out and help this team through these last 10 weeks and help this team win a championship.
"I was pleased, coming out and having a good time. It was awesome."
The Blaze (5-4) avenged a 75-55 loss at San Jose (5-5) in early April. The victory was preserved when Caesar Rayford blocked an extra-point attempt with the Blaze clinging to a 69-68 lead.
"It just opened up, and I made the play. ⦠It was phenomenal," Rayford said.
Bocage returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the third quarter after scoring three touchdowns in the first half.
The 144 total points were the second-most in a Blaze game this season, topped only by the 145 scored in a victory against Georgia on May 6.
The Blaze were without receivers Aaron Boone (knee) and Aaron Lesue (ankle), who had combined for 39 of Tommy Grady's 60 touchdown passes through eight games.
But Grady connected with Ernie Pierce for three scores and found Alvance Robinson for two more touchdowns. Grady also scored on an 8-yard run with 4.4 seconds remaining in the game.
While the points came fast and furious all evening, so did the penalty flags. The teams combined for 30 infractions, 15 by the Blaze for 101 yards.
In short
R Tommy Grady throws nine TD passes and newcomer Chris Bocage scores four TDs as the Blaze improve to 4-1 at home.
• Utah's Caesar Rayford blocks an extra-point attempt in the final minute.

My 7 year old daughter was diagnosed with Fructose Malabsorption Disorder in August, after six years of terrible digestive trouble. Now she's doing very much better on a low-fructose diet, but she misses all her favorite treats. She can tolerate glucose/dextrose, aspartame (nutrasweet), saccharin, and up to a tablespoon of sucrose (cane sugar) per day max -- in practice we try to give her almost none. We've been bumping along without sweet things, but when I asked her what she wanted for Christmas, tears welled up in her eyes and she said "I want to be able to eat candy again."
I'm not made of stone. My heart just broke. I want to help her out as much as I can, which means learning how to make candy with dextrose/glucose/corn syrup and as little cane sugar as possible. I have made candy occasionally in the past, and I'm a reasonably good and adventurous cook -- I make my own salami, that sort of thing -- so I feel like this is something I can tackle if I have good resources.
Which resources, though? I know that dextrose/glucose, while still a natural sugar, has very different structural and chemical properties than sucrose/cane sugar, but I don't know HOW they're different. Is hard candy out of the question? What about fudge, or caramels? What are the hard and soft ball stage temperatures?? Does glucose even HAVE a soft or hard ball stage? Are there resources, either online or in print, where I can learn more about this? Would I look at regular candymaking, or some molecular gastronomy whatnot, or. . .?

Girls pose with Lay's potato chips, a PepsiCo product. (Photo/Chang Shu-ting)
PepsiCo plans to develop foods for the Chinese markets to appeal to local tastes as the country is set to become the world's largest market in the next ten years, says the company's CEO Indira K Nooyi.
Nooyi made the remarks while opening a food factory in Wuhan in the central China province of Hubei earlier this week. The factory, with a floor area of 25,000 square meters and a capacity of 15,000 tons of potato chips a year, is the group's sixth factory in the Greater China region.
The opening of the factory is part of PepsiCo's aggressive attempts to explore markets in interior regions of China, where many people have never seen potato chips before.
Nooyi said her group will invest US$2.5 billion in China over the next three years, part of which will go towards the establishment of a research center in Shanghai to develop snacks with Chinese flavors. The company is developing a potato chip with a braised pork flavor and instant oatmeal which tastes like a Chinese herbal medicine.
Tim Minges, chairman of Pepsi China, says there is great potential in the Chinese market as local people's consumption of potato chips is about one fifteenth of Americans', and their consumption of carbonated beverages was one seventh that of US consumers.
In addition to manufacturing food which caters to Chinese tastes, PepsiCo will also increase its advertising budget and work with the country's agriculture ministry to encourage sustainable agriculture. The company now operates eight farms in China that plant potatoes using a water-saving irrigation system and other advanced technologies.
Wan Gang has been China's minister of science and technology since 2007. He graduated from Northeast Forestry University and served as a professor of automotive engineering at Tongji University. He ...

Screen (DVD)
Kill Bill, Vol. 2 (Japanese edition)
Is everything really cooler in Asia? Yes, oh yes. The Japan-only limited-edition box set gives the US release a crane kick to the solar plexus. Both feature an additional fight scene, a behind-the-scenes documentary, and live footage of Robert Rodriguez singing his killer soundtrack. But the import also comes with a cool "kung fu" T-shirt, a Pei Mei key chain, and an exclusive Bearbrick collector toy. Thankfully, region 2 DVD players aren't too hard to come by. - Brian Ashcraft
Screen (DVD)
Iron Giant Special Edition
Five years before The Incredibles, director Brad Bird made a genius - and tragically undermarketed - animation for Warner Bros. about a boy and a giant robot. Now it's back, along with a commentary track and animated storyboard versions of some unnecessary scenes Bird couldn't afford to include in the original. But the best extras for animation junkies are 13 mini-documentaries that allow you to dive into the filmmaking process, from score to character design, and hear the pros explain their work. - Chris Anderson
Screen (DVD)
Ali G Indahouse: The Movie
Who is Ali G? Yes, he's Sacha Baron Cohen, the prankster-chameleon who dupes world leaders into outrageous interviews. But who is he really? This movie, which debuted in the UK in 2002, gives the backstory: his 'hood in Staines (westside); his unlikely bid for a seat in the House of Commons; his gangsta battles in the streets of LA. Like all things Ali, Indahouse is silly, juvenile - and hilarious. - Thomas Goetz
Screen (Theaters)
All it took for Jonathan Caouette to go from doorman to auteur was $218.34 and a lifetime of severe family psychosis. The first-time director compiled hundreds of hours of home movies he shot while his mom was institutionalized and he lived with his grandparents and in foster homes. The result, produced on an iMac using iMovie software, is a life story that's sure to pull even the most jaded cineaste's heartstrings. - Beth Pinsker
Elliott Smith
From a Basement on the Hill
This posthumous release captures the tortured artist at his raw, intimate best. Filled with cluttered, jangly pop rock and desolate acoustic dirges, the CD is characterized by muddy, hollow tones that feel unfiltered and personal. Lyrics like "I've seen the movie and I know what happens" (from "King's Crossing") are heavy with self-conscious doom yet resonate with sincerity. It's a beautiful send-off for a brilliant songwriter. - Peter Arcuni
Chicks on Speed
The Chicks' shtick - boiling down the most palatable elements of fringe music, art, and fashion into a single package - smacks of early-'90s Beastie Boys. "We Don't Play Guitars," a killer collaboration with Peaches, proves that electronic producers can rock as hard as any metal band. Best of all, a bonus disc with two stunning videos and a slew of remixes from hotshot DJ pals like Cristian Vogel and Trevor Jackson makes 99� worth every penny. - Tamara Palmer
Handsome Boy Modeling School
White People
Dan the Automator (Gorillaz, Dr. Octagon) and Prince Paul (De La Soul) are so weird that a finishing school-inspired concept album doesn't sound unreasonable. Here they make odd couples of A-list friends, with delightful results: Pharrell streaks with Julee Cruise, and RZA grinds with the Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler. The star pupils? Young Brit jazzbo Jamie Cullum, Tarnation's Paula Frazer, and seasoned softie John Oates, whose end-of-the-night ballad "Greatest Mistake" is handsome indeed. - Hua Hsu
Domenico +2
Sincerely Hot
Descendant of Caetano Veloso in both style and stock (his son Moreno is the singer), this trio blends traditional Brazilian music with contemporary flourishes. Hot laces frothy harmonies and electronic quirks among bossa nova, samba, and funky jazz rhythms. The album is catchy enough for the dance floor, but it's also exceptionally detailed: snappy vocal effects, transistor radio crackles, and ear-popping videogame samples delight like prizes in a cereal box. - Julianne Shepherd
Games (Gamecube)
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
The sequel to the most critically acclaimed title of 2003 is an RPG, a first-person shooter, and an adventure game rolled into one. In it, two species inhabit one planet, but in different dimensions. The insectlike Luminoth live in the Light World, filled with puzzles players must solve. The Ing dwell in the Dark World; the environment eventually kills you if the evil creatures don't get you first. Still not sold? The multiplayer battles rock. - Steven Kent
Games (PC)
The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth
One real-time strategy game to rule them all. Choose your allegiance (Gondor or Mordor, et cetera), then guide catapults and cave trolls into epic battles. The graphics are stunning; you'll want to toggle off all the menus and simply gaze down upon the epic action in locales like Helm's Deep and the Mines of Moria. Coolest innovation: Emotions now affect troops, who'll quake before the Balrog or draw inspiration from Ent rampages. - Scott Steinberg
Games (PS2)
Gran Turismo 4
Gearheads, rejoice! The premiere racing sim is back. Get behind the wheel of more than 500 authentic vehicles - from a 1914 Model-T to a 2004 BMW M5 - and pick from 100 demanding courses. Then tear up the track. Environments and car models are exquisitely detailed, but the physics are what truly impress: From suspension to the way tires gradually soften as you drive, each ride handles exactly like its real-world counterpart. This is the grandest Turismo yet. - Will Tuttle
Games (PS2)
Guilty Gear Isuka
The Guilty Gear franchise already won over the 2-D fighting-game fans with its bizarre characters, mind-bending hand-drawn animation, and hyperactive violence. Now it gives the genre a kick in the pants by upending the classic head-to-head formula established by Street Fighter and adding a four-player mode. The eight-fisted fights are mayhem par excellence, a wonderfully chaotic blur of flying feet and special attacks that make this the best drunken party game in existence. - Dom Nguyen
Karim Rashid: Evolution
Karim Rashid
Pay all your bills online. That's not the advice you'd expect from an eminent industrial designer, but Rashid's monograph is filled with such household hints. The book uncovers his friendly, playful side, with pages featuring handwritten notes and preliminary sketches of his voluptuous blob lamps, digipop fabrics, and modular furniture. You may not need to know he eats a ni�oise salad practically every day, but it helps make sense of those olive-shaped holes in his pieces. - Reena Jana
Jacquard's Web: How a Hand Loom Led to the Birth of the Information Age
James Essinger
Process this: A loom was the first computer. Essinger's lucid microhistory offers ample evidence that little-known inventor Joseph-Marie Jacquard pioneered the use of punchcards to automate the silk looms of Napoleonic France, years before Babbage built the Difference Engine. Jacquard sped up weaving and, the author convincingly asserts, helped introduce the world to a binary sort of thinking. - Stuart Luman
Animation Now!
Edited by Julian Wiedmann
Want to get in touch with Bill Plympton? Look no further than this directory to the biggest stars in animation today. The 84 profiles here range from the easily name-checked (Pixar) to the fairly obscure (William Kentridge, a South African charcoal animator) and list contact information, short bios, and awards and honors. Best of all, the guide offers hundreds of beautiful pictures that will give you a new appreciation for an art form that began simply as doodles on paper. - Jennifer Hillner
McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories
Edited by Michael Chabon
Labels like horror and mystery may sell books, but they also create "nonliterary" ghettos. Transcending them was Chabon's purpose in inviting accomplished writers to cross boundaries - sadly, to little effect. The stories are all well crafted, but anyone familiar with Margaret Atwood, Stephen King, and China Mi�ville will not be surprised. Too bad we didn't get John Updike writing science fiction - that would have been astonishing. - Blaise Zerega

HOUSTON, Mar. 1 -- Occidental Petroleum Corp. and Apache Corp. separately realigned Permian basin and Midcontinent business units as of 2010.
Oxy combined most of its central US gas production into a single business unit called Midcontinent Gas. The business unit includes Kansas Hugoton field, the Piceance basin, and the bulk of its Permian basin nonassociated gas assets, which had been reported as part of the Permian business unit through 2009.
The change will alter Oxy's production to 75% gas and 25% liquids for the Midcontinent unit and 89% liquids and 11%, mostly associated gas, for the Permian unit. Oxy made the change to take advantage of common development methods and production optimization opportunities.
Beginning in 2010, Oxy also will begin expensing 100% of the carbon dioxide injected in the Permian basin, whereas in it capitalized about 50% of it or $69 million in 2009. The change simplifies the process of determining the portion that should be capitalized versus expensed as larger portions of the injected gas support current production.
Apache, meanwhile, created a new regional Permian basin business unit based in Midland, Tex. Apache's Permian area has been part of the Central Region in Tulsa since 2002, but the combined capital program has increased tenfold since then.
Apache plans to operate five rigs to drill 171 net Permian basin development wells in 2010, up from 87 wells in 2009. Apache acquired $187.4 million in Permian basin properties from Marathon Oil Corp. last Apr. 30. Those properties have 200 quality infill oil locations, Apache said.

On Sunday I asked Moses if he wanted to go on a date with me the next day...he spent the rest of the day asking to go on a date...I am pretty sure he had no idea what he was asking for. :)
Of course that night he went to bed early because he refused to stay in time out...but we won't focus on that part of Monday. :)

Great Gift for Marzipan Lovers
By B.J.
from Arizona
I ordered this marzipan fruit as a Christmas gift for a couple of not-so-close relatives (who I know love marzipan) and I bought one for myself as well. I was delighted with the appearance and the package arrived promptly in perfect condition. I was disappointed with the flavor. Over the Christmas holiday, I made marzipan candies with my grandchildren and ours had much better flavor.

The Podcast Returns
This episode is less structured than previous offerings; each of us throws out a few topics for discussion about the upcoming season. The conversation ranges from the Cowboys' offense to Andre Johnson to Donovan McNabb to the Jets' schedule to Walter Payton's shoe endorsements. Healthy doses of trivia are sprinkled in.
Allow me to apologize in advance for certain audio and editing-related annoyances. This is simply not a professionally-produced podcast (for the record that's my fault, not Chase's or JKL's). We hope to improve that in future episodes and that you'll give us a mulligan after the long layoff. Enjoy.
Two more podcast-related announcements.
1. For those who enjoy the Trivia Blitz format, we have one of those in the can (with no audio annoyances!) and will release it later this week.
2. The prize for winning the March Madness contest was a podcast on a player or team of the winner's choice. We haven't forgotten about you, Matt S, it's coming.
Listen here, subscribe here if you know how, and read this if you don't. It's free, of course.

A Guilderland senior told her school board — with some members who no longer want to support Tech Valley High — that school brought her out of her shell, preparing her for life's challenges.
Tech Valley High School tuition is less than regular public-school costs and it serves as a valuable model for educating people who can think for themselves while working well with others and lead by doing.

Easy! Tell the EU not to be so damned stupid and pay nothing – end of "problem"
British Airways, Qantas and other airlines are calling on governments to find a swift resolution to a political dispute over the European Union's carbon scheme, because the deadlock may create competitive distortions.
Since the start of 2012, EU law obliges all airlines using EU airports to be included in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), the 27-nation bloc's main policy to fight global warming as it caps emissions on over 11,000 power and industrial plants.
But the scheme, which now puts the cost of carbon on an airline's balance sheet potentially pumping up fares, has drawn ire from major foreign emitters such China and the United States.
China this week banned its airlines from taking part in the scheme and threatened retaliatory action against the EU if it continues to calculate the carbon cost over the whole flight, not just within Europe.
A group of 26 countries including Russia, India, China and the United States plan to meet in Moscow on February 21 to discuss a plan of action.
But airlines and trade groups warned the row will create a competitive imbalance, with some airlines paying millions of dollars for their annual carbon costs and others not.

Ventura woman arrested in connection with stolen vehicle
A Ventura woman was arrested Friday night on suspicion of stealing a vehicle and possessing drug paraphernalia, authorities said.
A Ventura police officer was entering a storefront police station about 9 p.m. at 110 N. Olive Street when he saw a sport utility vehicle parked in front of an adjacent business, authorities said. The officer recalled a similar vehicle that had been stolen about two weeks earlier in Ventura and began to investigate the SUV, police said.
The officer determined it was the vehicle reported stolen, authorities said.
Police said Charity Felch, 34, exited the nearby business and got into the driver's seat. Felch was contacted by the officer and was arrested, authorities said.
Unspecified drug paraphernalia was found in her possession, police said.
Felch was booked into Ventura County jail, police said.
There were no injuries in the incident.

Hooker Szarzewski hurt his knee just five minutes after coming on as a substitute against the Pumas, while Martin, a flanker, dislocated his left thumb in the same game.
Both players should be back in training at the start of next week, but the crunch Heineken Cup clash with The Ospreys on January 14 could come too soon for them.
They should nevertheless be ready for France's first game of the Six Nations, against Italy in Rome on February 3.

That may seem a ridiculous statement but bear with me as I attempt to clarify. Twenty four months ago, sporting a freshly shaved head and face, I made the decision to never cut any hair growing anywhere on my body. I became involved in beard research.After about six months I joined a beard forum and was diligent in reporting month to month changes. The first year was a year of adjustments, major changes in appearance, and discovering a terrific group of bearded men, enthused, curious, as well experienced beard growers willing to share, mentor, and encourage every man to discover the benefits of razor freedom. Check out the Beard Board. The yeard, or twelve month untrimmed beard was a great milestone and the first real test of dedication and commitment. Make it through that first year and things get easier because one is established as bearded among friends and family. Making it through the holiday get togethers, job interviews, marriages, and other major life events that can put pressure to shave on high. Without some kind of beard support many good men cave to the pressure and then experience regret about trimming or shaving their beards. This is the freshman year. Make it past that and the focus changes. I am speaking now to the full natural beard growers. There are many men who choose a neat beard and hair style for them and maintain that style over the years or enjoy exchanging different styles of head hair and facial hair combinations. Many signature looks have come out of this practice. For the purpose of this blog we will stay focused strictly on the full, natural, untrimmed journey to terminal length. There are many great sites for grooming and styling tips and support if that is your choice. There is no condemnation here toward trimmers, I used to be one myself, and any facial hair is better than none. I saw a T-shirt that says – There is a name for people without beards – ……WOMEN. I got a kick out of that.
During the second growing year the beard reporting tapered off, 3 month, then 6 month, intervals seemed too shot. The beard became natural and less of an oddity with fewer changes to report. The time between my last, eighteen month, report and this one went by in the blink of an eye and not a great deal of noticeable change. Now my sophomore beard year is completed. I have earned an associate beard degree and happily enter my junior and senior years progressing toward terminal length. At this point I find many overachieving hairs two or three inched ahead of the flock. Those hairs are very adventurous, exploring on their own and ending up caught in, or soaked in, or covered with whatever may be within their extended reach. Like a toddler learning to walk can explore himself into danger, beard precautions must be taken to prevent injury.
I am hopefully looking forward to having the longest beard in any room, a goal admittedly many years away, which is why I feel like I am still at the beginning of the journey. I do concede that, in fact, my journey is well begun, but subjectively still feel closer to the beginning than the end at this point.
This next year will be revealing and already I may be adjusting my expectations. While there are many hairs exuberantly growing past the bulk it is the bulk that I would like to see continue growing with some force. The length from lower lip to bottom of beard is more difficult to determine. I'll call it 14″ at this point thicker at 13″ and a few hairs at 16″. It is natural for some hairs to grow faster and why a trim of those overachievers makes the beard look fuller. Since trimming is not an option for me anymore the wispy end of my beard calls for subjective measurements. So I excluded the longest hairs from the measurements but there are some really long ones at every location measured. Here is a reasonable account of the length – sideburns 9″, eyebrows 3″, top of head 12″,chin 11″,cheeks 8″ jawsides 12″, lower lip 1.75″, upper lip 1.5″ mouth corner 4″, lower lip to bottom 14″.
So the facial hair is still gaining length but thinning at the extremes. The head hair, on the other hand is growing solid and thick in spite of losing several comb-fulls every day.
Have added some Hemp oil to my blend of jojoba, argan, castor oil blend. I have read some good things about Hemp oil and it does have a nice nutty taste for salads as well.
My favorite beard soap is still Alcatraz Rock Beard Bar but I also rotate among other natural soap products and never use shampoo.
I am happy to see more and more men wearing beards and would encourage all men to let their beards grow as well.
I had a friend comment to me the other day that he had forgotten what I looked like so I showed him my drivers license picture. The person in that picture no longer exists. The old picture always causes some issues when I present that license for identification and the license won't be renewed until 2016. Anyway, it is obvious that growing a beard changes a man significantly. Beyond the physical appearance there are changes that occur inside the man. Changes in how the world is perceived and felt. The beard is comforting and warm against the cold of winter winds protecting it's master from harsh elements. It provides personal security somewhat difficult to articulate due to its subjective nature but nevertheless real. The thought just occurred to me that the beard is an identity thief. Growing a beard takes away your previous identity, removes facial recognition and gives the grower a fresh start. It requires patience and perseverance but like a wonderful witness protection plan you will be given a new identity over time. The longer you stay in the beard's plan the more comfortable it becomes and while there is always the option to trim, shape or shave, that option becomes less desirable due to the deep bond and relationship that develops between the beard and the man. If you want to completely change your life grow a beard and make a commitment to that beard. Many commitments start with three months or six months and there is a great deal of support available at the beard board to help you get through the awkward stages of early beard growth. Many a man gives up too soon because they see what appears to be a patchy thin beard and don't think they could ever possibly grow anything presentable and usually they are wrong about that. There are many documented cases to be found that will encourage you to stay the course and see the amazing transformation that awaits your patiently resisting the temptation to shave. Really, after all, the only requirement to grow a beard is to stop shaving it off. That's all I had to do and I am very content knowing I will never have to shave again.
Thank you for checking in and thinking about growing your own masterpiece. Beard on….

What, you think there isn't anybody like that in the windows community?
After reading comments on slashdot, newsforge, and kuro5hin I've come to the realization that most (at least a nice chunk) in the Linux community are biggots with 'my way or the highway' type attitudes.
I've read comments from "This is the dumbest article I have ever read" to "What the hell, this site sucks." Are these people just bad apples or a good representation of our growing community?
What do you think?
What, you think there isn't anybody like that in the windows community?
how can 15 million penguins be 31137157 ?
i mean, theres countries that dont have that many people!
BUT, we can take pride in being among the first
1.5% of the world to be independant of the evil empire.
As for the distro wars, thats all in fun. when i used mandy,
i bitched out deb. now i use deb, i bitch out mandy.
maybe tomorrow i load up solaris or FreeBSD and bitch out
other distros. but no harm done, its all *nix.
i think sadly yes. my idea from the linux community is that most users are wanna be hardcore hackers who live by the motto rtfm and say it so much that its lost meaning. its hard to come across good places to find help these days because everybodies nose is so high. LJR and an irc chat room or two are the only places i now go for help simply because they seem like the only places people know what they are talking about and are nice about it/happy to help. but its a shame that the community has been presented to me like that, maybe other people have better experiences, but when i join a room called #linuxhelp or something like that. well telling me RTFM and no more spoon feeding gets aggitating. :-\
Maybe if you stopped trying to replace people with porn, you'd get better feedback, BurntAsh

What, you think there isn't anybody like that in the windows community?
Thats a good point, but at the same token does windows really have a community or is it just a myrid of users?
I'll take myriad of users for $500, Bob.
Anytime you have a room full of geeks youre going to have a room full of sarcasm, ego, and plenty of bravado. I dont think you can justly label the Linux Community as such because the Geek Community as a whole displays those same arrogant "I-am-right-screw-your-opinion" attitudes.
I will have to applaud the Linux community based on the fact that we really didnt hear terms such as "community", and "user groups" until Linux's popularity increased around 1996. We all know these groups existed, but only in the G.U. "geek underground".
Unfortunately, in a basket of red apples you normally see the green ones first. So therefore you have your Slashdotters, your LNOs, and your Feztaas.
disclaimer: Not all Slashdotters, LNOs are like that. :P
I think that the younger more intelligent kids get it in their head that they know more than the next person -- so screw him! There are more kids that have piss attitudes that are younger than my beard. Thats bad. Some 17 Y.O. that tells me off has got a problem. They think that it makes them cool.
Thats my opinion -- and like most things, its value is its weight in gold....(it doesnt weigh anything -- its photons dammit..)
I think people OUTSIDE of the community see the *unix users as leetist.
No matter what community your a part of there will always be those people that are not there to HELP others but there just to brag about how much they know, and never offer help to anyone other than saying RTFM.
Those people do not help any comminuty they just hurt it, i know when i first started using linux ( arround the time when LNO popped up ) i was asking questions and more than once i got 1 four letter word as a response "RTFM" it turned me off thats for sure. If i was a weeker person i would not have tried as hard to learn about linux.
anyway thanks for listening ...

Good Morning Green Smoothie
I may be a little biased, I am addicted afterall, but this really is one of the best and quickest ways to start your mornings. All it takes is a little cutting, some blending then some delicious drinking and you are on your way. I know many people will be a little hesitant to try and drink something so green so early in the morning but trust us, a little citrus goes a long way in making this thing taste great. Its important to use frozen banana in this smoothie as it adds a delicious creaminess to the drink, it also makes it nice and chilled which is perfect for these warmer days. And don't be nervous to munch on the fibres in the smoothie, chewing your breakfast first thing in the morning will help to engage your digestive system and assimilate this nutrient rich drink.
By adding vegetables like Kale and AFA, (a blue green algae) to your morning routine you are giving your body the best start to the day. AFA is known as the earth's first 'living food' and is harvested from only one place, in Oregon, America. AFA will supply your body with a massive dose of chlorophyll, which can help alkalize and detoxify the body, whilst also delivering you an abundant source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Its important to remember to exercise caution when introducing superfoods like AFA, Gubinge and Maca into your diet. While most people experience profoundly positive effects, some can feel unsettled and a little 'charged' for want of a better word. We always recommend starting off with small doses, listening to your body and adjusting amounts as required.
1 frozen banana
2-3 leaves of kale, de stemed and chopped
½ a grapefruit, skin removed (keep the white pith on and choose ruby red if in season)
1 tsp of AFA powder, we get ours from Loving Earth
1 tsp of Maca Powder
1tsp of Gubinge Powder
1tbs of Yacon Syrup,
1 cup of water or coconut water if available to you
A few dates for extra sweetness, if desired
Simply add all the ingredients into a high speed blender, blending until all ingredients have broken down and the drink is nice and smooth, or if your any think like us, a little chunky.

Harvard Cheating Scandal
Harvard has ordered half the students involved in last year's major cheating scandal to withdraw from the university. 125 students total were implicated in the Spring 2012 investigation, which was launched after the professor of a course called "Introduction to Congress" reported suspicious similarities on a number of take-home exams.
