While all the news in action cameras these days is about GoPro and the like, Panasonic is still a major player here and, to prove it, it has just announced a new trio of rugged camcorders.
Unlike GoPro, these camcorders are both tough and have the performance you'd expect from a normal camcorder. So there's no fiddling with trick menu systems, and no messing about with repeated clicking of two single buttons to set options. Of course, what you gain in ease of use you lose in portability and flexibility when it comes to mounting it to your snowboard, surfboard or mountain bike.
The three models are the HX-WA30, HX-WA3 and HX-DC3, and each offers some element of rugged design, along with full HD, 1080p video shooting.
The WA30 is the most interesting. It's waterproof to a depth of 10m, can be frozen to -10C and can be dropped from 1.5 meters. Panasonic says this makes it ideal for winter sports enthusiasts, or people who live in freezers and are very clumsy. Dust-resistance also means you can take it to the beach, without worrying about finishing the camcorder off for good.
Most interesting though is the built-in Wi-Fi. As with a lot of Panasonic's 2013 camcorders, this is provided for use with the company's upcoming Android app. This allows you to capture stills, or zoom in, all while being away from the camera. There's also the opportunity to make use of DLNA to stream stills and videos to a TV.
For the action lovers, recording in 720p can be done at 120fps, while 640 x 360 footage can get up to 240fps. For people who don't care about quality, but need super-slow-mo, you can go for 320 x 180 video, at 480fps.
The WA30 also has various "creative" filters, which give you simulated tilt/shift footage, along with HDR and the usual mix of selective colour and sepia tones. Not much use for pros, but something that YouTubers will no doubt enjoy using.
There's a 28mm equivalent wide-angle lens, a 5x optical zoom and an 18x "intelligent zoom" which uses the 16-megapixel sensor to produce a digital zoom that loses almost no picture quality. A huge step up from the miserable digital zooms of a few years ago.
The WA3 has a slightly smaller sensor, at a little over 11-megapixels, is 5m waterproof and can be taken to temperatures of -10C. It doesn't have the backside illumination of the WA30, so don't expect low-light video to be quite so good. The WA3 is Eye-Fi compatible too, for Wi-Fi transfer of video.
The DC3 can't claim underwater or freezing potential, but there are creative filters, an 11.90-megapixel sensor and a 15x intelligent zoom. So, if your life is too exciting for a normal camcorder, one of these could be just what the doctor ordered.

On February 8, 1861, the Montgomery Convention adopted a provisional constitution for their new nation. It would be in force for a little over a month before it was replaced by a more permanent document.
As John J. Miller states in yesterday's Disunion blog in the New York Times, the Provisional Confederate Constitution "was more imitation than innovation" being heavily based on the U.S. Constitution. Yet in terms of slavery the Provisional Confederate Constitution was a significant departure. While slavery was present in both documents it was more implicit in the latter than the former. For instance, the word "slave" is never used in the U.S. Constitution, the subject being dealt with obliquely and by implication.
Article I, Section 2, on enumeration allows states to count three-fifths of their slave population for representation in Congress. "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."
Article 1, Section 9, stopped Congress from banning U.S. participation in the international slave trade for twenty years. "The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person."
Lastly, Article IV, Section 2, requires the return of fugitive slaves to their owners if they escaped to another state. "No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due."
Interestingly, the Provisional Confederate Constitution only deals with slavery in two passages (the U.S. Constitution deals with it in three as just seen). The lack of provisions for slavery should not be interpreted as meaning the Montgomery Convention thought slavery unimportant–quite the contrary. It was so important that it would need to be debated and deliberated at length, but its two appearances in the document are clearer and "slave" and its variants get used explicitly.
The first mention of slavery in the Provisional Confederate Constitution comes in Article I, Section 7, prohibiting Confederate participation in the international slave trade (which some persons in the South had been trying to re-legalize in the years before the Civil War). "1. The importation of African negroes from any foreign country other than the slave-holding States of the United States, is hereby forbidden; and Congress is required to pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the same. 2. The Congress shall also have power to prohibit the introduction of slaves from any State not a member of this Confederacy."
The second mention comes in Article IV, Section 2, and deals with fugitive slaves. "A slave in one State, escaping to another, shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom said slave may belong by the executive authority of the State in which such slave shall be found, and in case of any abduction or forcible rescue, full compensation, including the value of the slave and all costs and expenses, shall be made to the party, by the State in which such abduction or rescue shall take place."
So clearly slavery as an issue was present at the inception of the Confederacy. And it was there more explicitly in Montgomery in 1861 than it had been in Philadelphia in 1787. Slavery was also such an important subject to the Confederate founding fathers that it could not be dealt in the document except on two particularly urgent issues, one of which–the international slave trade–would be revisited in the debates over the permanent constitution. Those debates will be dealt with down the road in Civil War Emancipation.

Staples boys lacrosse suffers first defeat of 2014
Recommended Video:
WESTPORT--Leading by a single goal early in the fourth quarter against FCIAC rival Staples, Greenwich boys lacrosse coach Scott Bulkley devised a play for his dynamic duo of Kyle Foote and Decker Curran.
Twenty seconds later the ball was in the back of the Wreckers' cage, and the Cardinals had more than enough breathing room from there to finish off a dominating defensive effort.
Tommy Rogan made 13 saves and Greenwich allowed just one even-strength goal in a 5-3 win over Staples on Tuesday afternoon at Wakeman Field in a battle of undefeated contenders.
"It's great," Foote said of his teams' 6-0 start. "We've been working really hard in the offseason and it's starting to come together. It's really exciting to watch."
Staples (5-1) pulled to within 4-3 with 1:35 left in the third quarter on a goal from Will Johnson, but Foote and Curran teamed up to dash the Wreckers' hopes. With six minutes left in the game, Foote curled around the back of the net while Curran ran a similar path in front in Staples goalie Cole Gendels. Foote found Curran with a perfect pass, and Curran buried a high shot.
"(Bulkley) drew it up right out of the timeout," Foote said. `We practice it in practice and we knew it was going to come up big. We executed it pretty well."
The Cardinals never trailed, but survived a sluggish performance on offense to earn the win. The game was delayed by 25 minutes due to traffic and there was little flow on the field once the game started.
"We got a little jammed up getting here," Bulkley said. "It didn't start well and we didn't get into rhythm. Luckily our defense played well and Tommy Rogan played well. We're better than what we showed today."
Curran fired a hat trick in the victory despite being ill. Will Perry also scored for Greenwich, which plays Fairfield Prep on Thursday. Teddy Coogan and Ross Goldberg scored goals for Staples.
"We didn't play well today," Bulkley said. "When you can not play well and still win the game, you have to happy with that."
Trailing 4-2 at halftime, Staples dominated the third quarter. The Wreckers sustained pressure and generated many quality chances on goal. Rogan made seven saves in the period, including a diving stop to deny a Wrecker attacker all alone in front of the cage.
"After a couple of shots and especially after that big save I got in a groove," Rogan said. "I knew that, shot after shot, I had to save them all."
Greenwich tightened its defense in the fourth and didn't allow as many quality opportunities.
"Against a very good team like Greenwich, you're only going to get a few opportunities to get a real good shot off," Staples coach Paul McNulty said. "You have to sink it and we didn't. (Rogan) made some good saves too."
Despite the defeat, McNulty was encouraged by his team's performance against one of the FCIAC's best. The Wreckers eliminated the Cardinals in the Class L tournament last year after Greenwich defeated Staples in the FCIAC playoffs.
"(My players) played just the way we asked them to; the best game they've played all year," McNulty said. "We played our best defense."

It seems that strategy has borne its first fruit. Senate heavyweights Max Baucus and Chuck Grassley have a bipartisan proposal which would increase payments to PCPs by 5% while reducing payments to other physician specialists, in order to offset this in a budget neutral fashion.
Predictably, the specialty societies will fight this hammer and tongs.
In my opinion, the 5% bonus is probably inadequate -- it should be at least 10%, and I say this as a member of a specialty that will probably not be considered primary care for the purpose of this payment. The RVRBS was created and is periodically rebalanced based on the concept of rewarding physician work, which seems fair on the face of it. It's pretty indisputable, however, that the formula has become skewed so far in favor of procedural medicine that short of a wholesale rethinking of the system it cannot accomplish the policy goals that it is supposed to.
The physician compensation system needs to be reoriented not to reward "work" but to create the incentive for physicians to fill the roles which our health care system needs.
We need primare care docs more than we need ENTs (for example). No disrespect to ENTs; I greatly appreciate their services when they come to the ER and stop a tricky nosebleed or drain a peritonsillar abscess. It's important work. But the number of people who will suffer from a shortage of ENTs (or urologists, or orthopedists, etc etc) pales in comparison to the number of people who are and will suffer from a lack of primary care. If the President is successful in providing health insurance to 47 million more Americans, then the current shortage of PCPs will become much, much worse. In order to encourage physicians to pursue these necessary fields, the incentives need to set such that the earning potential for a subspecialty surgeon does not so greatly exceed that for an office-based physician.
People are rational actors and repond predictably to incentives. Perverse incentives, such as we currently have, result in perverse outcomes, such as the fact that only 2% of medical students currently intend to specialize in primary care. The incentives need changing.
Some have argued that we should just pay the PCPs more, without reducing specialty compensation. To that, I would say first that such a change would likely not achieve the desired goals. Currently, it's possible to make two or three times an internist's salary as a surgeon. Unless you increase the PCP's income by a large factor, that income gap is going to remain large. Bringing one up and the other down, however, will more efficiently neutralize the disparity.
More to the point, in the current system of health care approaching 17% of GDP, it's completely unrealistic to expect that Congress will allow physician reimbursement to go UP. Every stakeholder at the table has made major concessions (or will be asked to). The insurers are accepting community rating. Small businesses will be hit with pay or play. If this is the bitterest pill that doctors are asked to swallow then we will be getting off easy. It is the sheerest fantasy to think that we can lobby for a pay increase.
If the proceduralists fight this, they are going to lose. How do I know this? I don't, but in my recent visit to Capitol Hill, I spoke with no fewer that nine members of congress and/or their health policy directors (all democrats). All of them have the "primary care" mantra down pat. It was encouraging given the state of primary care to see that they understand that it needs to be a priority, even if it was frustrating as an advocate for emergency medicine to try to educate them about the needs of the acute care system.
This proposal by Baucus and Grassley is encouraging even if it is a kludge-y workaround of the failure of the RUC. It would have been better to abolish it and re-invent the RVRBS, because the formulas are still terribly flawed. This is like the annual SGR patch, a temporizing measure that kicks the can down the road a few years -- which is forgivable given the scope of the reforms they are currently contemplating. Ultimately, fundamental physician payment reform is still necessary.

Do You Need These Dental Procedures?
Advice on a few daunting dental procedures and when to get a second opinion on undergoing them.
You may not be at your most rational while sitting in a dentist's chair. So when your dentist says you need a gum graft or that all your fillings should be replaced, you may panic. But if you know ahead of time what's being suggested, you can give a sensible answer. Here are a few daunting dental procedures and advice on whether you need them.
Replacement Filling
Generally, if an amalgam filling (made of silver, tin, copper, and trace amounts of mercury) is breaking down, a dentist will replace it with a composite one (made of plastic and glass). While amalgam fillings may last longer, composite fillings insulate the teeth better from temperature changes, and because they can be matched to the color of your teeth, they look better.
When you need it: If an X-ray shows a broken amalgam filling. "Old amalgam fillings can wear and crack over time, which can allow bacteria to seep in between the tooth and filling, creating cavities," says Katherine de Luna, a dentist in San Francisco. And despite the fact that some critics believe the mercury in amalgam fillings could be a health hazard, according to the American Dental Association, "no health consequences from exposure to such low levels of mercury released from amalgam restorations have been demonstrated."
Get a second opinion if: A new dentist says that all your old fillings need to be replaced.
Gum Graft
If your gum lines are receding—because of overbrushing, not enough brushing and flossing, or a bad bite—your dentist may suggest a gum graft. Typically, your dentist or periodontist transplants a piece of skin from the roof of your mouth to the edge of your gum line.
When you need it: If receding gums have exposed your roots, leaving you extremely sensitive to heat and cold. The teeth most prone to root exposure are the lower front teeth and the premolars, located right behind the canines.
Get a second opinion if: Receding gums aren't causing discomfort.
Laser Technology
Some dentists now use lasers instead of old-fashioned drills to clean out decayed teeth. Lasers are precise, rarely require anesthesia, and reduce healing time, according to Bruce DeGinder, a dentist and president-elect of the Academy of General Dentistry. And unlike drills, which require multiple steps, lasers prepare the tooth for a filling in one step.
When you need it: You don't need to have laser work, but you might want it if you have small cavities or hate getting novocaine.
Get a second opinion if: Your X-rays show a very large cavity. "Because lasers are sources of heat, if you have a big cavity close to the nerve, the laser can irreparably damage the nerve of the tooth," says Julie Barna, a dentist in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

Start by ensuring that your message is relevant and differentiated. What specific areas of your expertise do people consistently draw on? How is your approach or philosophy different from that of your closest competitors? Once you've refined your unique positioning, boil the value proposition down into a succinct elevator pitch. If you can't explain the "brand of you" in ten seconds, your message isn't strong enough.
Now that you have your positioning solidified, start building your platform. Platform refers to your ability to reach and resonate with people. Just like a physical platform, it serves to elevate. In this sense, it's elevating you and your message over the clutter.
Building your platform requires content, and here's the key to strong platform messaging: Don't lose your content! You need every bit of it to redistribute and heighten your platform. Keep a record of your newsletter tips, blog posts, radio and TV interviews, lecture recordings, etcetera. Devise your own system to tag your content by subject area to come up with a messaging matrix for easy syndication.
Once you have your content arsenal ready to go, there are a number of ways to get the most use out of it. A few suggestions:
• Write a book. Writing a book makes you instantly credible. There are publishing options available to meet every author's goals, but do your homework to make sure you're not publishing under a model that could hurt your reputation.
• Syndicate. Take pieces of content from your book, newsletters, blogs, etc and get them out there. Offer to post regular content for relevant newsletters and websites. Submit articles to article directories and as news releases. Get your video clips on YouTube. Post your most helpful content as responses to questions on professional social networking sites like LinkedIn. All of it helps to build your authority.
• Speak. Research speaking engagements inside and outside of your industry where your message might resonate. If you're new to speaking, start by offering to moderate panels at local conferences. You'll soon graduate to breakout sessions, and if you're good, you'll eventually land lucrative keynote addresses that generate tons of word of mouth.
• Brag. If you've been featured in national print, your website should mention it ("As featured in…"). Same goes for awards, TV and radio interviews and high-profile speaking engagements. Also be sure to share the good news with your client base and incorporate it into your sales collateral.
Establishing your authority as an expert may seem like a daunting task, but bear in mind that the explosion of media channels means more talking heads are needed to fill programming and content needs. Strategize on the front end to be sure you're filling an unmet or under-met need. Then, put a team in place to help you execute the bullet points above. In a perfect world, you'll be too busy juggling demands for your expertise to deal with those things. Finally, maintain your platform. Strive to stay ahead of the curve and remain the enduring thought leader in your space. It's hard work, but the benefits are priceless.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner in Talks for Their Own Teen Talk Showby Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Kendall and Kylie Jenner may soon be starring on their own TV show — and no, we're not referring to 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'!
The 18- and 15-year-old stars are in talks to have their own talk show after knocking it out of the park as hosts on the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto, Canada on June 15.
According to HollywoodLife, the show would be aimed specifically at teens. Can you imagine the two youngest Kardashian girls hashing out teen issues on television? It could be pretty awesome — and hilarious! Remember Kendall's cue card flub at the Billboard Music Awards?
"So far, they both love the idea," a source told HollywoodLife, "and if it did happen, they'd want to focus on subjects like self-esteem, dating, fashion and celebrity interviews. There is a really strong market for this right now, and between the two of them, they have so many fans."
E!, which also hosts 'Keeping Up,' is rumored to be the network organizing the new show.
What do you think, PopCrushers? Would you watch Kendall and Kylie's talk show?

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres Welcome THE BEATLES – A TRIBUTE CONCERT Tonight
On New Year's Eve, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres (CDT) will present a debut staging of THE BEATLES - A TRIBUTE CONCERT. This anthology of The Beatles' most popular hits dating from 1963 to 1970 will be performed by Jonny James and the Hall of Fames, a local band featuring the talents of such performers as Jonny James, Mike Menard, Andrew Thornbrough, Matt Riehle, and guesting in will be, Mike McDonough of the "Rubber Soul" Beatles Tribute band. This concert performance will be celebrated on Chanhassen's Fireside stage for one performance only tonight evening, December 31.
THE BEATLES - A TRIBUTE CONCERT will be performed by Jonny James and the Hall of Fames, a rousing, exciting new band from St. Paul, leaning on the Americana side of the genre spectrum, with roots steeped in British classic rock. Jonny James and the Hall of Fames, sound like the original Beatles, and will thrill audiences with their musical song-stylings of the band who changed the world with an anthology of musical hits from 1963 to 1970. Jonny James and the Hall of Fames stellar live performances feature exceptionally eclectic, clever, and catchy original tunes. The group displays top-notch musicianship and songwriting, big beautiful vocal harmonies, and lush instrumentation featuring the cello. The band is currently recording a new album to be released in 2013.
CDT is thrilled to offer its audiences this fresh new tribute concert featuring music of The Beatles, the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music who got their start in Liverpool, England in 1960. Their best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. In the early 60s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania," but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions. They acquired the nickname the "Fab Four" as Beatlemania grew in Britain, and by early 1964 they had become international stars, leading the "British Invasion" in the United States pop market.

Horn Island is part of the Torres Strait Islands group at the tip of Cape York Peninsula, Australia's northernmost point. Located approximately 17 kilometres off Queensland's coast and just south of Papua New Guinea, Horn Island offers a truly remarkable island experience.
Horn Island came to prominence during World War II when it suffered eight Japanese air raids. Today the island has a small population of approximately 650 people, with a focus on pearling and fishing. Horn Island is home to the only airport in the Torres Strait Island group, as most of the other inhabited islands only have an airstrip. Make sure to visit the museum and art gallery in the small town of Wasaga. And be sure not to miss some of the historic World War II sites on one of the tours that operate on the island.
Horn Island is a lovely island to experience the exciting fusion of Melanesian and Australian Aboriginal cultures. But make sure to get permission from the Torres Strait Regional Authority if you plan to visit any of the other islands (except for Thursday Island).

MANILA, Philippines - A U.S. Navy minesweeper ran aground on a coral reef in the Philippines on Thursday, but there were no injuries to the crew and Philippine authorities were trying to determine if the ship caused damage to a marine park in a protected area.
The Navy said in a statement that the crew of the USS Guardian was working to find out the best method of safely extracting the ship.
It had just completed a port call in Subic Bay, a former American naval base west of the Philippine capital, when it hit the reef in the Tubbataha National Marine Park, a World Heritage Site in the Sulu Sea, 640 kilometers (400 miles) southeast of Manila.
The ship was not listing or leaking oil but about 15 percent of the bow appeared to have struck the reef, said Angelique Songco, head of the government's Protected Area Management Board, after flying over the ship in a Philippine Air Force plane. "It does not appear to be damaged."
She said it was unclear how much of the reef was damaged. She said the government imposes a fine of about $300 dollars per square meter (yard) of corals that are damaged.
In 2005, the environmental group Greenpeace was fined almost $7,000 after its flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, struck a reef in the same area.
Songco said that park rangers were not allowed to board the ship for inspection and were told to contact the U.S. Embassy in Manila. Their radio calls to the ship were ignored, she said.
She said the ship may be able to float free during a high tide later Thursday.
U.S. Navy ships have stepped up visits to Philippine ports for refueling, rest and recreation, and joint military exercises as a result of a redeployment of U.S. forces in the Asia-Pacific region. The Philippines, a U.S. treaty ally, has been entangled in a territorial dispute with China in the South China Sea.

AAM Completes Initial Certification of Adobe Digital Publishing Suite
By: Alliance for Audited Media
NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Alliance for Audited Media, formerly the Audit Bureau of Circulations, has completed an initial audit of Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), a solution that many AAM publisher members use to create and distribute tablet and smartphone editions of their publications. DPS is the first digital publishing software solution to be certified by AAM.
AAM has tested and certified the platform's analytic processes and key metrics captured by the Adobe Content Viewer, which is part of Digital Publishing Suite. These analytics are used to measure reader interactions with digital publications. AAM's certification of the Adobe platform and processes will enable more frequent and timely auditing and reporting for members that use DPS to create, publish and measure their mobile apps.
Earlier this year, AAM began working with Adobe and several of its magazine members to test and audit metrics provided by the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. AAM verified systems controls within the app development process and the integrated analytics captured via the Adobe Content Viewer and delivered through Adobe SiteCatalyst. AAM also worked with several publishers that use DPS to test how the system measures and reports the number of readers, the number of content views and the total time spent within a magazine.
As a result of the certification, AAM expects a more streamlined reporting process for its publisher members that use DPS to track and report their digital metrics on multi-channel products, such as AAM's Consolidated Media Report (CMR). This report format allows media companies to present a full, verified picture of their audience and circulation stats from a variety of cross-media platforms. AAM is seeing growing demand for reliable, verified tablet and mobile app metrics. More than 100 publications have released CMRs in 2012, which is more than double the previous year.
"We are pleased to announce the initial certification of Adobe Digital Publishing Suite," said Eric John, vice president, AAM digital services. "The certification confirms the platform adheres to industry standards for interactive content measurement processes and delivers the transparency that's so necessary in digital and mobile advertising today. Our certification of DPS provides publishers and their advertisers with an additional level of trust in the metrics produced through the service, while ultimately enabling more timely data for publishers' reports. Metrics from Adobe Digital Publishing Suite that are verified by AAM help build a true ecosystem of trusted multi-channel data for both buyers and sellers."
"Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is the first publishing software solution to be certified by AAM, a long trusted source of standards verification and audit services," said Zeke Koch, Senior Director of Product Management, Digital Publishing, Adobe. "We are honored by AAM's certification. This first stage of collaboration will bring publishers and advertisers closer to achieving the common goal of accurately measuring consumption and engagement of digital issues, and delivering verified data that is critical to the industry as a whole."
Adobe plans to have AAM audit its DPS systems on a yearly basis and to expand the scope of its review to include additional metrics in the future.

The head of the U.N. nuclear agency says he cannot guarantee that all of Iran's nuclear activities are peaceful unless Tehran provides more cooperation with his organization.
Yukiya Amano of the International Atomic Energy Agency is also urging Tehran to grant his inspectors access to a site where the IAEA thinks Tehran may have carried out experiments linked to nuclear weapons development.
Iran denies any work on, or interest in nuclear weapons. The agency has tried for more than a year to visit the Parchin site, to follow up suspicions that Tehran worked there on conventional explosives triggers for a nuclear weapon.
Amano told the 35-nation IAEA board Monday that without more Iranian cooperation, his agency `'cannot conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities."

Locked Out Bucks Could Cost Area $86 Million
NBA Has Canceled Preseason, First Two Weeks Of Regular Season
While Wisconsin is enjoying a lot of glory surrounding its sports teams, one local team could cost area businesses tens of millions.
The inability of NBA owners and players to reach an agreement has already led to the cancellation of the entire preseason as well as the first two weeks of the regular season.
Downtown Milwaukee businesses are concerned that the NBA's lack of bargaining agreement will cost them big business this winter.
"There's research showing the Bucks are important to the Bradley Center and downtown businesses," said Tim Sheehy of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce. "We just finished a big economic impact study on the Bradley Center and it has an $86 million economic impact and a thousand jobs."
The Bradley Center has been home to the Milwaukee Bucks since it opened its doors in 1988. The center's president, Steve Costello, said that with three home games already cut from the schedule, employees may see fewer hours but it's the city that will suffer.
"No Bucks at the B.C. will hurt the whole city," Costello said. "We pay about $10 million a year in sales and income tax. A majority of that is through the Bucks. It's an awful lot at stake."
The league's owners began a lockout of its players in early July.
Commissioner David Stern has said that last season was not profitable for most of the league's 30 owners, who want cost-cutting help from players.
The league lost as much as $300 million in the 2010-11 season, according to the commissioner.
Less than a week ago, the NBA canceled its preseason, which meant the loss of about $200 million in revenue to the league, Stern said.
One of the battles has focused on the owners' rejection of the players union's call for an average $7 million player salary in the sixth year of a new labor deal.
The current average salary is about $5 million.
Other big issues include a fight over a move by owners to get a bigger share of revenues and whether the NBA will strengthen its salary cap.
The last work stoppage occurred in 1998.

I have set Barca with three separate user accounts but wish to use them, effectively, as three distinct profiles and have a copy of Barca open simultaneously for each profile/user.
I currently have two open but I don't know how I achieved that and cannot work out how to have all three open at the same time.
There is a definite need to have all three open and checking for new mail at the same time as the mail for all users is high priority. For two users the mail is extremely similar but relates to different businesses so keeping things apart helps to avoid confusion.
Thank you in advance for any assistance received and I still keep hoping that somehow this fantastic package of Barca and also of Pocomail will find a gallant rescuer. Keep trying others but none meet the mark for me.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Marjorie Merriweather Post' tag.
Last Monday, I made a trip to visit the Cartier store on Rodeo Drive which was opening a jewelry exhibit to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French company.
We arrived around 11 am but the upstairs portion of the exhibit was still not ready. We looked around for a few minutes on the ground floor which had regular merchandise on display and plus some of the remarkable jewels designed in the past century and which had been gathered for the special show. I started asking questions but the sales lady did not know enough so she got a docent to give us a guided tour. For over half an hour we were treated to a dazzling display accompanied by information on the advances in techniques in design of jewelry, watches and other luxury items that Cartier so famously produces.
The most impressive piece of the show was a wreath of diamonds that held together a cascade of diamonds and deep green emerald drops. This brooch was designed for Marjorie Merriweather Post and it was accompanied by a picture of her wearing it in the Roaring 20s. Pinned near the shoulder of her dress, the cascade of glittering stones almost reached her waist.
Another celebrated jewel collector, Hollywood star Elizabeth Taylor, was represented by no less than three displays. Her diamond and ruby suite was in the street window. Upstairs, her fabled engraved and heart-shaped Taj Mahal diamond that Shah Jehan bestowed on his wife Mumtaz centuries ago, hung from a ruby-studded gold rope designed by Cartier to replace the original silk cord. Nearby was her pearl and ruby necklace, featuring the enormous La Peregrina, a teardrop pearl once worn by Mary Tudor and generations of Spanish queen consorts. Next to the necklace was the design sketch on which Ms. Taylor scribbled a request to change the setting from gold to platinum. Richard Burton was a remarkable husband to lavish so many magnificent jewels on his wife.
Although we were clearly not high-rollers, I appreciated the courtesy that the store extended to us by giving the private tour. That is what I call great customer service. I was so dazzled by the display I did not take any video of the store's exterior. Sadly yet understandably, I was not permitted to photograph the displays inside. It was a great marketing effort featuring skilled craftsmanship, rare gems, celebrity and romance.
After browsing the windows of other fabled jewelers such as Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels, Garrard,Tiffany, Buccellati and Bulgari, we stopped for a late lunch at McCormick and Schmick's. Our booth overlooked Wilshire Boulevard and the Beverly Wilshire hotel. Great spot to count the Rolls Royces and Bentleys on the street. Food and service was very good. We enjoyed a salad of arugula with goat cheese, seafood in a flavorful lobster broth, and a moist thick slab of shark with grilled vegetables. Dessert was a trio of sorbets and a dainty key lime pie. A tad too dainty for my hearty appetite. After all, every jeweled bracelet we saw that morning had larger diameters than the pie!

Earth from Space: North Sentinel Island
A cloudy day on North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean, home to the last small indigenous human tribe, as seen from ESA's Proba satellite.
The 8.9 Richter scale earthquake that triggered the Asian tsunami on 26 December 2004 had a lasting effect on this location, part of India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands chain.
The formerly submerged coral reefs that ring North Sentinel Island are now exposed to the surface, as the entire North Andamans group has experienced tectonic uplift. Circumstances were reversed to the south in the South Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where large land areas were submerged down to between one and four metres in depth.
The international collaborative programme CORDIO (Coral Reef Degradation in the Indian Ocean) estimates that these uplifted North Sentinel Island reefs are unlikely to survive, as either they are positioned too high for high tide to reach them or submerged too shallowly to tolerate the increased intensity of sunlight.
The 72-square-kilometre-area North Sentinel Island is home to the fiercely independent Sentinelese tribe, known to reject any contact with outsiders. The Indian government carried out its 2001 census of the Island from a distance, counting a total population of 21 males and 18 females, although other estimates range higher, to a maximum of 500.
DNA analysis of related Andaman tribesmen suggests that the Sentinelese are among the world's oldest communities, with generations going back 70 000 years. They retain a Palaeolithic way of life. The first record of North Sentinel Island comes from 1771, when a British surveyor reported night lights on the Island suggesting habitation.
The islanders would typically have been fishing when the tsunami struck. However post-tsunami surveys of North Sentinel Island suggest the tribe survived the disaster intact, perhaps retreating from the shore well before the waves hit.
It is possible that the Sentinelese are now suffering from the loss of their shallow water fishing grounds, with lagoons now vanished on all but the east side of North Sentinel Island: the shallow bluish water can be clearly seen.
There is no way to communicate with the inhabitants to know for sure. In the aftermath of the tsunami, one Sentinelese man came upon an Indian coast guard helicopter hovering – then fired an arrow its way.
This Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS) image was acquired on 23 April 2005. Built by UK-based Sira Technology, CHRIS is the main payload on ESA's Proba microsatellite, designed to acquire hyperspectral images with a spatial resolution of 18 metres across an area of 14 kilometres.
