Jodi Picoult is the bestselling author of sixteen novels (and counting). She was born and raised - happily - on Long Island... something that she believed at first was a detriment to a girl who wanted to be a writer. "I had such an uneventful childhood that when I was taking writing classes at college, I called home and asked my mother if maybe there might have been a little incest or domestic abuse on the side that she'd forgotten about" Picoult recalls. "It took me a while to realize that I already did have something to write about, that solid core of family, and the knotty tangle of relationships, which I keep coming back to in my books." Her latest book is Handle With Care.
About Handle With Care :
Everything breaks. Some things just hurt more than others. Charlotte O'Keefe's beautiful, much-longed-for, adored daughter Willow is born with osteogenesis imperfecta - a very severe form of brittle bone disease. If she slips on a crisp packet she could break both her legs, and spend six months in a half body cast. After years of caring for Willow, her family faces financial disaster. Then Charlotte is offered a lifeline. She could sue her obstetrician for wrongful birth - for not having diagnosed Willow's condition early enough in the pregnancy to be able to abort the child. The payout could secure Willow's future. But to get it would mean Charlotte suing her best friend. And standing up in court to declare that she would have prefered that Willow had never been born...

I'm about to have an extremely busy, meeting laden couple of weeks so I decided I needed to gear up. All I had on the needles that would be workable during a meeting were half a pair of socks, and an easy, peasy scarf. I knew that wouldn't be enough so I've been casting on madly.

text: First, I want to say that I love my Moment and am enjoying it after setting it up and going to six stores to get my contacts ported over from my old phone! I have a few thoughts / questions about the few things I haven't liked or understood since I'm new to Android. 1 The Bluetooth not working with voice dialing and not being able to voice search Google is pretty annoying. Does anyone know if there are plans to fix these in the update or if vlingo is planned to come to Android? 2 Has anyone heard anything about a XM radio app coming to Android? I know it's been talked about and am just keeping my fingers crossed. 3 A pro wrestling news website I subscribe to, www.pwinsiderelite.com has news and interviews in audio form for either windows media player or you can stream or download the audio files as an mp3. Using dolphin and the browser that the phone came with, I've tried to play audio in all of these ways. However, when I click on the files to play them nothing happens. Is there a setting or an application that I need to change to play or download these files? 4 I have an ipod charger for my car that I got from Radioshack that uses a cigarette plug with a usb end as it's main part and then has a USB to ipod cable as a separate cord. When I opened the moment and saw the USB to micro USB, I wondered whether I could use it with the main part of the ipod charger as a car charger for the moment. I plugged it for a second and it does charge the phone, but I was afraid it could damage the phone, so I called Radioshack. Their tech told me that since the official wall charger and my car charger part provide the same output, 5 volts, it should be fine to use as a car charger. Still, the wall charger has 0.7 amps output and the car charger 0.5 Given that info, can anyone with some electrical knowledge explain for sure whether using my ipod car charger with the USB to micro USB will be safe for the phone? Any help anyone can give on any of this would be great! Thanks, Mike

White Paper. Time for Integrated vs. Bolted-on IT Security. Cyphort Platform Architecture: Modular, Open and Flexible

1 White Paper Time for Integrated vs. Bolted-on IT Security Cyphort Platform Architecture: Modular, Open and Flexible
2 Overview This paper discusses prevalent market approaches to designing and architecting security products and their pitfalls. Most notably, as the security landscape evolves with new kinds of threats, new classes of products emerge to help organizations deal with them effectively. However most of these products are architected as standalone solutions giving rise to a bolted-on security implementation in most organizations. In addition to being expensive to implement and maintain, bolted-on security implementations result in inferior security outcomes and are frequently the subject of IT organizations ire. Lately, vendors have started to offer integrated solutions. This is most evident in the areas of Next Generation Firewall and UTM products where Firewall, IPS and potentially other security products coexist and provide a unified interface to the security team. This approach however fails when discerning customers want to take a best of breed approach towards building their security infrastructure. Cyphort advanced threats defense platform takes a significantly different approach that ties it closely with an organization s overall security fabric, so that it functions in unison with customers existing security portfolio and processes while allowing organizations to completely leverage the functionality of related products Cyphort, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
3 What is a bolted-on architecture? Bolted-on architecture is a consequence and not a design goal. It arises from the fact that organizations have to purchase, implement and maintain multiple security solutions, each with it s own set of features and management interfaces. There is very little if any shared intelligence and coordination between disparate solutions. This approach results in a security architecture that has several disadvantages and results in an inferior security posture for an organization. The pitfalls of a bolted-on security architecture There are many issues related to bolt-on security architectures, many of which are obvious and some of which are less obvious and related to the effectiveness of a security posture. The following provides details on some of these pitfalls: Inability to leverage synergy between solutions While cost and management are frequently cited as major pain points for operating multiple solutions, it is the inability to utilize the technologies in disparate products in a meaningful way that is the biggest pitfall, and prevents organizations from unlocking the true value of their security investment. An example would be endpoint-based solutions that can protect from known malware and network-based solutions that detect unknown malware. Each have unique values, but combined would provide significantly more value to a customer. Network based solution can find zero-day threats and provide intelligence to the endpoint solution to identify and mitigate it in the future. Management overhead and costs Cost and overhead of operating multiple security products using their own management interfaces and paradigms is a major pain point for IT organizations. Reduced visibility Most security products claim to provide single pane of glass view through their individual dashboards. However, this is done within the context of a specific product. How it matches up with the dashboards of other solutions is left to the security practitioners. Redundancy Security products frequently introduce redundant capabilities that are at best underutilized, and in the worst case compromise the reliability and security of an organization. As an example having multiple security products capable of blocking suspect Internet traffic can introduce additional points of failure thus reducing reliability. As another example, two separate security solutions that have discovered the same suspect activity through different means will effectively double the alert load for the incidence response teams resulting in over commitment to dealing with this particular threat, while potentially ignoring others thus reducing overall security effectiveness Cyphort, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
4 A new approach to building security The issues discussed in the previous section leads us to discover a new architecture that will work in unison with an organizations overall security portfolio. In order to achieve this a solution must be designed with the following principals in mind - Modular Monolithic security solution may pack a lot of features but they are prone to be underleveraged by the customers if individual functions cannot be accessed and matched up with other complementary technologies. One example would be to have threat detection solution that can export mitigation information so that existing enforcement solutions can provide protection based on the intelligence provided by the detection solution. Open interfaces The solution must be able to integrate with other solutions. This requires that the solution be built with a fundamental API layer. The intent would be to deliver API access to most of the functionality and adhere to standards based data exchange formats. Platform choices One requirement for a seamless solution is that it should be deployable in a variety of infrastructure scenarios. This includes deployment as a hardware appliance, virtual appliance or standard software images. This will ensure that security controls can be applied uniformly across the entire infrastructure. Cyphort open platform architecture Cyphort, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
5 Cyphort Advanced Threat Defense Platform Cyphort Advanced Threats Defense Platform has been designed ground-up to become part of our customers security architecture. Cyphort platform is designed around four modules namely - Collector(s): This module collects network objects and metadata from network traffic using a SPAN or virtual TAP port where the traffic is to be inspected. These objects and metadata are combined and sent to the analysis module (known as the Cyphort Core) for detailed inspection and analysis. Core: The Cyphort Core is the central brain of Cyphort platform. The Core module inspects, analyzes and correlates the data and objects sent from the Collector(s) to determine if it presents a threat, and produces the relevant risk score for your organization. Manager: As the name suggests this is the management module for administering the solution, generating reports etc. This module co-resides with the Core, and is accessed via a Web browser. Mitigation: Similar to the manager module, remediation also co-resides with the Core. This is the module that generates data from inspecting objects and receiving CnC signals from the collectors. This data can be pushed to existing network infrastructure controls for continuous protection across all users. The mitigation data includes P addresses for Firewall rules, URLs and Domains for Secure Web Gateways (SWG), and SNORT signatures for IPS solutions to block ongoing attacks A unique set of Indicators can be generated from each object evaluated in the analysis phase that can be used to evaluate if the intended target of the attack was indeed compromised. This is known as an Infection Verification Pack (IVP), used for endpoint verification All modules function together using APIs that are available to our customers. Customers can replace some of these modules with their own custom modules or use the APIs to integrate with their existing infrastructure. Cyphort platform provide complete flexibility of deployment and can be deployed as a hardware appliance, software or as a virtual machine to protect across the organization Cyphort, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
6 Cyphort APIs classification and use cases Cyphort Platform APIs can be divided into three categories 1. Input APIs These APIs pertain to sending potential malware carrying objects to the Cyphort core for inspection and analysis. Cyphort s own Collector module uses these APIs to send network objects and metadata to the Cyphort Core. One possible use case is if an organization has its own file carving capability, they can use the API to submit files directly to the Core for analysis. Here is a case study detailing this use case 2. Output APIs These APIs provide detection and mitigation information as the Core and collectors identify active threats. Some of the use cases for these APIs include Integration with existing security monitoring and alerting solutions so that he security teams can be notified of malicious events using a single mechanism Integration with Firewalls, Secure Web Gateways and IPS systems to automatically send mitigation information (IP addresses, URLs, Domains, SNORT signatures) to these devices to block malware communication. Integration with IT workflow and ticketing systems so tickets can be populated with the priority information and mitigation information and assigned to the appropriate personnel Integration of the infection verification functionality with the IT workflow systems so that the IVP binary can be sent to the endpoint for infection verification and results reported back and integrated with the remediation workflow Integration with existing antivirus solution management console so that malicious object MD5 can be added to the existing AV solution for blocking across the enterprise devices. About Cyphort: Founded in 2011 by a team of security experts, Cyphort advanced threat defense goes beyond malware detection to reveal the true intent of the attack and the risk to your organization with prioritized and expedited remediation. Our software-based approach combines best-inclass malware detection with knowledge of threat capabilities and your organizational context to cut through the avalanche of security data to get at the threats that matter and respond with velocity, in hours not days. 3. Management APIs These APIs provide access to management, monitoring and reporting functions in the platform. This allows our customers to completely bypass Cyphort management interface and integrate the platform directly with their own management platform. Here is a case study where Cyphort customer is using their existing management solution to manage Cyphort. Conclusion Cyphort s Advanced Threats Defense Platform provides ideal security architecture for organizations that are using a diverse set of products for security. Cyphort s open and modular architecture combined with RESTful APIs provides an ideal solution that can add powerful threat detection and mitigation while leveraging existing security and management systems.

the future of energy
The fundamental concept behind this paper is the principle that we will need to be smarter in the way we approach energy, whether it's in the generation, storage or use of energy. In doing so I will try to bring together information from different disciplines, and tackle some of the fallacies that seem to crop up whenever discussions of this sort take place. There will be some opinions expressed, but I will try to back up those opinions with facts.
Some parts of this may seem basic and obvious, yet bear repeating, since some commentators don't seem to understand the basics. Here's the first obvious statement: it's all about the energy. It is not primarily about cars, or taxes, or wind turbines, or politics, etcetera. These things are distractions, secondary to the primary questions of energy use: where does it come from, how is it stored, and where does it go?
Renewable energy sources currently have a long way to go before they can meet everyone's energy needs today. This is not controversial, yet I have seen some commentators use this fact to dismiss the whole idea of renewable energy sources as fatally flawed and unworkable, which is fallacious. The bad news is that it simply won't be possible to do a one shot "switch-over" to renewable energy sources. The good news is that we won't need to do that. Fossil fuels are not going to vanish soon; a more likely scenario is that they will become more and more expensive first.
We already have a means of tying together disparate energy sources: electricity. It is possible to add renewable energy sources to current and future electrical grids, and this is already well under way. Electricity is the most "fungible" form of energy we have: we can turn just about any other energy source in to electricity, and it can be used just about everywhere we need energy. It is not a panacea, however, and we face significant technical challenges in getting it to where we need it.
electricity from near and far
Within a country or region, electrical grids tie producers and consumers of electricity together. In Ireland, for example, major hydro-electric generation occurs in the west of the country e.g. Ardnacrusha, which was once able to supply the electricity needs of the entire country. Power from that source is transmitted to the rest of the country via a national grid. To transmit electrical energy over long distances, it must be stepped up to a high voltage – the higher the better, because of the fundamental relationships between power, voltage, current and resistance, which I won't go in to here. This adds expense and complexity, some energy is lost in the process, and it doesn't fully solve the problem of energy losses in transmission. How much is lost is a tricky question to answer, depending on your source, but I have seen figures suggesting that over 40% of the electrical power in Ireland is lost in this fashion.
If remote power generation and transmission is so inefficient, what can we do about it? More local generation sounds like a good idea. Using the example of Dublin, which previously took power from the other side of Ireland, there is now a local power station at Poolbeg, on the coast just to the east of the city. It is possible to go even more local, which falls under the heading of distributed generation. This is a subject of intense research today, and has been for years. What business or householder would not like to cut significantly reduce their electricity bills?
It isn't quite as simple as mounting a wind turbine or a solar cell on the roof, since those sources are intermittent and unreliable. One approach is Combined Heating and Power (CHP or Cogeneration), in which fuel is burned to provide both electricity and heat, whether on a district-wide basis or on a domestic scale.

Claims involving two or more years: background and legislation
Before the introduction of Self-Assessment and the Current Year basis of assessment, a claim to carry back losses to an earlier year meant that the assessment for that earlier year had to be re-opened. This is no longer the case.
Such claims are now dealt with in accordance with TMA70/S42 and SCH1B and there is no need to re-open the earlier year where the claim affects more than one year.
The claims involved include the
- carry back of losses under ITA07/S64
- carry back of losses in the early years of trade under ITA07/S72
- carry back of pensions contributions
- carry back of certain capital gains losses (for example, those claimed under ITA07/S131)
- averaging of farming profits, and
- averaging of literary and artistic profits.
Each type of claim may be governed by a specific time limit set out in the relevant legislation. If that is not the case, the general time limit at TMA70/S43 will apply.

i forgot how amazing his book "Letters to a Young Poet" is. You should read it.
People have (with the help of conventions) oriented all their solutions toward the
easy and toward the easiest side of the easy; but it is clear that we must hold to
what is difficult; everything alive holds to it, everything in Nature grows and defends
itself in its own way and is characteristically and spontaneously itself, seeks at all
costs to be so and against all opposition.We know little, but that we must hold to
what is difficult is a certainty that will not forsake us; it is good to be solitary,
for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.
To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another:
that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and
proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
For this reason young people, who are beginners in everything, cannot yet know love:
they have to learn it. With their whole being, with all their forces, gathered close about
their lonely, timid, upward-beating heart, they must learn to love. But learning-time
is always a long, secluded time, and so loving, for a long while ahead and far on into
life, is–solitude, intensified and deepened loneness for him who loves.
Love is at first not anything that means merging, giving over, and uniting with another (for what
would a union be of something unclarified and unfinished, still subordinate–?), it is a high
inducement to the individual to ripen, to become something in himself for another's sake, it is a
high exacting claim upon him, something that chooses him out and calls him to vast things.

shane claiborne has a southern accent. i did not remember he was from tennessee.
he said many great things tonight. he is a very challenging person, in word and in action. i felt a sense of sadness, if i am honest, at the lack of love and passion in my life as i listened to him. i've become very hardened to so much and its something i don't completely understand but it was good to evaluate myself in light of things he talked about.
he showed videos and pictures of people from all over the country who have done radical things to embody love. one guy went to uganda with the money he won on of all things, The Price Is Right. he took over $50K with him to give away and spent months living at an orphanage.
every time i see those beautiful babies in orphanages i feel this twinge in my heart. of course i can't have any children right now, but it makes me anticipate the day when i can offer myself to a child in that way. i want to be what shane talked about in my present circumstances; love with flesh on it. love that is imaginative and creative. love that doesn't have to be showy or recognized.
love is not easy. it has to overcome a lot. it involves great risk and dealing with a lot of fears. but it can be simple. it can be small. it can be amazing. it can change peoples lives. it can be done. and, like the sticker on my car says, it does ultimately win.
i am just quick to forget.
dance therapy [it exists]September 24, 2008
sometimes when you are a program assistant you don't get to choose your duties. or the classes that get put on the schedule for the youth in your program. typically i do have control over such things, but not in the case of the laughter and dance therapy class that we hosted from a local group today.
my duties may or may not have included being volunteered to learn and perform in front of 20 teenagers/20-somethings an interpretive [worship] song with interludes.
this is all i have for today.

silence and noiseSeptember 14, 2008
grieving makes me feel very out of control. but that is where i am right now. i go back and forth from anger to hope to regret to grief to hope to doubt to anger to…
i am still processing through what i thought was secure and unconditional. this is the scariest thing of all and probably something i will grieve more than anything. even if right now i feel more controlled by the fear that has accompanied the silence, i hope this grief will be what transforms me into a person more capable of trust and hope and love than before.
take it up slow.September 9, 2008
if anything, i am learning right now that while i'd like to think i usually make good decisions, i am not always right. i am easily provoked when i feel wronged and well, impatience is just too easy.
its so easy to focus on the things other people do to hurt you instead of on the things you do to not only hurt them, but yourself. its completely unhealthy to live this way. its completely opposite of anything love should look like. i've gone back to this passage several times this week looking for validation instead of for correction.
and so it goes. i am a messy person who is never very graceful and, because of pride, hesitant to learn because usually when you have to learn something it means you aren't doing something right… and i need to pay more attention to what i do when i am wrong.
i am just really upset with myself at the moment. its never fun to realize things you don't like about yourself. that said, i am slowing down and realizing it will be okay. the ungraceful and messy moments don't define me but simply are a part of me learning how to grow, mature, adapt, and, well, love myself and other people more fully. its just hard to not get stuck staring at those parts of myself.
tonight, though, i am stopping.
and putting on a movie.
and finishing a book.
September 8, 2008
driving back from alabama yesterday i found myself thinking of big yellow jump suits. maybe white ones. i can't remember. either way, i mean the kind that are worn when white powder falls out of an envelope onto someone's desk or a mad cow is discovered in some field in the U.K. you are safe. you can get as close as you want to danger. you can get up close to whatever it is that could potentially harm you because you are confidently aware of the boundaries in place. you are [hopefully] protected from any outside force that could penetrate. without the suit, well, all bets are off. you are exposed. you may get infected.
its like a hunter with a gun. if he is confident enough of his ability, he can protect himself [God-forbid] from any personal danger and use his weapon to "get the job done." take his gun away… and it may be a different story out in the field.
obviously the CDC and hunters have the right to use suits and guns. but when you are dealing with people- beings with emotion and intellect and not a source of contamination and/or your next meal you don't approach them with latex gloves on or with a shotgun over your shoulder. its just not how people are to be handled. but we do it. we have our own weapons and walls we construct at any given moment we feel threatened. and then we either only get close enough that we can't get dirty, or we shoot if we feel threatened.
i am probably only making sense to myself, and thats okay. its just some of what i've been processing over the last few days.

Monster Bucks on Trail Cam
Thanks to all who have submitted trail cam pictures. We have bucks from readers in Iowa, Indiana and Ohio featured on this post. The guys from Sunfish Valley Whitetails in Ohio sent some again, they have some great bucks available. If you haven't sent some of yours email them to us today. It's exciting to see these monster bucks as we get ready for the upcoming season. Looks like trail cams used were Bushnell, Moultrie and Reconyx, and Stealth Cam.
No doubt there will be some big bucks harvested across the Midwest again this fall! I know there are some great bucks in other regions of the country too, send us some pictures guys!

A few licks good for kids
THE EDITOR, Sir:
I write in response to the lead story in The Sunday Gleaner dated February 8, 2015: 'Spare the rod! UN committee calls for law to prevent parents from slapping children'.
Reading the title of the story alone made me yell, "Hell no!" I will never be the one to spare the rod and spoil my child. I believe that a child must be given physical discipline to teach them a lesson.
Now, don't get me wrong. I do not believe children should endure the full length of physical discipline, leading to them being injured or bruised. A good spanking should solve any problem. Modern-day approaches to disciplining children are not satisfactory. Taking away a toy, or decreeing no TV watching for a time is not. Proverbs 23:13 states, "Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die."
As stated by the head of the National Parenting Support Commission, Patrece Charles, there must be a clear definition of the term 'corporal punishment'. We must be able to identify when it becomes child abuse. I would hate the idea of seeing numerous parents being criminally charged or even having their child taken away just for wanting to simply discipline their child.
As a country that is so high on Christian beliefs, we must then adhere to the thing we believe in most: the Bible. Discipline is critical for wisdom, and I believe parents who aim to spare the rod and spoil the child will suffer the consequences of their actions later in life.
Until we can safely determine the difference between corporal punishment and child abuse, we must be careful in making a drastic decision on this issue.

Aleisha Whitson (up and coming fashion journalist) sent this to me, she'd written it for Uni in the shadow of Suzy Menkes. I think it's brilliant. Read on.
EDGELEY's latest Autumn/Winter 2014 collection creates a stretch for warmth but true to Edgeleys name springs back to spandex. Rock n' roll glam punk meets everyday comfort in materials for the
collection Jungle Baby. Not letting go of any sass, designs scream for those who aren't afraid of their body contours in high definition, always with a bit of cheek and humour, with the Edgeley staple heart slapped across the bum.
Furthermore, inspiration for the Strawberry Leotard, Flo-Jo aka Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner, an American athlete, who is considered the fasted woman in the world, aka 6-inch fuchsia nails, the metallic one-legged leotards that she designed herself and named "athletic negligees." Flo-Jo's' glam, spandex look crossed with the all girl pop music group Josie and the Pussycats, who toured the world getting involved in mysteries.
Edgeley holds a punk 80's party girl aesthetic, with a bit of classic elegance in the fit, the designer Alice was previously head seamstress for Christopher Kane in London. Edgeley, completes all garments in store (quaint studio separated by curtain in shop) and takes pride in her sewing, with beautifully finished pieces. The range saw orange, pink, black, gold creating a pop jungle, rather than the lush green you'd imagine in a real jungle, baby. The usual statement Edgeley fabrics of velvets, crushed and stretch, 'high quality spandex' pairing with pieces of viscose, pure silk organza and wool to break to up the palate added a more breathable, comfortable touch.
As always true to her fruitful nature of design, she incorporates her own personal style of elegant glam, pink patch hair, and that of her loyal companion, Rupert the little black poodle.

Leveling the playing field for minority- and women-owned businesses.
The City of Las Cruces' (City) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program was created to provide a level playing field for small minority- and women-owned companies wanting to do business with the City on projects funded wholly or in part by various U.S. Department of Transportation agencies.
DBEs are for-profit small businesses where socially and economically disadvantaged individuals own at least a 51% interest and also control management and daily business operations.
According to Federal DBE guidelines, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, Subcontinent Asian Americans, and women are presumed to be socially and economically disadvantaged. Other individuals can also qualify on a case-by case basis.
The DBE Program is administered in New Mexico by the State of New Mexico Department of Transportation, Office of Equal Opportunity Programs. To participate in this program, a small business owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals must receive DBE certification from the State of New Mexico Department of Transportation, which can be accessed through its Office of Equal Opportunity Programs.
The following links provide information and the forms necessary to apply for DBE certification:
For more information contact the City of Las Cruces DBE Liaison Officer (DBELO), David Maestas, Transportation Director, at (575) 541-2559 or by email at email@example.com.

Every day Jim Cramer hears investors crying over how Greece is holding the entire stock market hostage until a decision is made. And while it is a big problem, Cramer doesn't think enough light is shed on the positive side of the situation: it keeps the Federal Reserve on hold.
However, all of this activity in the market has led to a wave of consolidations as we hear many companies talking about mergers and acquisitions. Thus, the "Mad Money" host decided to focus on the positive aspects of consolidation, and how it could unlock even more wealth for investors.
Why? Because Cramer sees that the market is blessing even with acquisitions that don't make any sense—like when the dog of a stock Coty went higher based on a total overpay for a bunch of old Procter & Gamble brands.
"I think it's safe to say we are now in an environment where CEOs know that the best thing they can do is to go buy another company," Cramer added.(Tweet This)
Thus, Cramer decided to share some of his dream merger ideas that he thinks could drive stocks higher for both parties.
First is the ultimate takeover target, Twitter. And while Cramer's charitable trust owns the stock, he totally regrets it and fears it could be headed lower unless there is a takeover or management cleans up its act.
Cramer thinks Twitter will go lower, not because he is badmouthing it, but because it is too expensive on an earnings basis.
But it's not too expensive on a takeover basis, and it could be worth a ton to a buyer like Google. Even Google has been sinking lately and has been flat since December 2013. Cramer thinks the stock could jump significantly if it bought Twitter for a 20 or 25 percent premium.
Why? Because then Google could fire everyone at Twitter. After all, it has its own amazing engineers and fabulous sales force. Then the two organizations would immediately be integrated.
"I always say you should never buy a stock on takeover speculation if the fundamentals are unsound, which means you shouldn't buy Twitter. However I could easily see the company being taken over; it's just that it might get bought at a lower level," Cramer said. (Tweet This)

A WIDE-RANGING bill that revamps the landscape of communications law is expected to be signed into law by President Clinton as early as next week.
The bill - the most dramatic overhaul of communications law in 60 years - allows cable and local and long-distance companies to cross over into one anothers' businesses, lifts price regulations on millions of cable customers, and restricts smut on TV and computers.
The White House and congressional negotiators reached agreement Wednesday on contentious media ownership provisions, the last hurdle to reconciling separate telecommunications bills passed by each chamber this year.
The bill would gradually deregulate cable companies that were put under government regulation just three years ago.
It would also ban transmission of sexually explicit materials to children over computer networks and give parents a powerful new tool - a computer chip in TV sets allowing them to zap violent, sexually oriented, or other objectionable shows off their screens.
Companies got more freedom to increase their media holdings. But many current prohibitions were kept, including bans on ownership of more than one TV station in a single market.

Primary prevention of sexual violence is a global concern and there are people all over the world taking action. I just read Imagining the Solution, the primary prevention newsletter from the Tauiwi Caucus of New Zealand's Te Ohaakii a Hine – National Network Ending Sexual Violence Together (TOAH-NNEST), a nation-wide network of community organizations, whanau, hapu, iwi and individuals who are specialists in providing sexual violence prevention and intervention services.
[Disclosure and self promotion alert: I am on an advisory board to the Tauiwi Caucus of TOAH-NNEST. And I think I helped inspire the name of the newsletter and coming conference. Sandra Dickson, the National Sexual Violence Primary Prevention Co-ordinator – Tauiwi Caucus quotes me saying ""We often spend a lot of time describing the problem. We have to spend more time imagining the solution." in her email signature.]
TOAH-NNEST will be holding the first national sexual violence primary prevention hui in Aotearoa New Zealand on October 26, 2012. While I am not able to attend, I look forward to learning more about this event with a focus on
… the primary prevention of sexual violence, or stopping sexual violence before it takes place. This hui will showcase activities, programmes and strategies which promote mana enhancing, respectful and healthy relationships, whanau and communities, violence from a kaupapa Maori perspective, and within Tauiwi communities.
It is great to see primary prevention advocates gathering all other the world. Check out the September 2012, July 2012 and April 2012 issues of the newsletter.

Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report, November 9, 2016
Prevailing easterly winds are still the norm for all areas on the Mosquito Lagoon with calmer conditions in the morning and then building winds throughout the day. Water levels are still high allowing easy access to backwater areas, and the water clarity has shown some improvement as well.This past week we have been finding most of our redfish and seatrout holding close to the shoreline with our best results fishing in very close in the leeward stretches of shoreline blind casting weighted jerkbaits rigged weedless.
In addition, larger redfish and black drum have been available in the deeper channels and the deeper edges of the shoals.
If you are planning a visit to the Lagoon this weekend, your best bet would be to fish early on the leeward shorelines and leave before the winds kick up.
As always, if you need more information or have any questions, please contact me.
Good luck and good fishing,
Captain Tom van Horn

The Redhook Brewery is once again changing the name of its spring seasonal.
Last year, Redhook changed the name of the beer to "Nut Brown," calling it an effort to "keep it simple." However, in an attempt to give the brand a more sustainable identity, Redhook will return to the original moniker for the beer, Mudslinger Brown Ale.
Brady Walen, a spokesman for Craft Brew Alliance (which owns Redhook) told Brewbound.com that consumers had an easier time identifying Mudslinger.
"Mudslinger better conveys the Redhook personality and the name is a little more exciting," he said. "Overall, it is a better fit for the Redhook brand."
The beer will make its long-awaited return in April and will have a suggested retail price of $7.99 per 6-pack. The complete press release is below:
WOODINVILLE, WA – In early 2013, Redhook will be bringing back Mudslinger Brown Ale, the brewery's spring seasonal. Most recently called Nut Brown, this smooth, easy-drinking brown ale is making its return through April in stores and on tap nationwide.
At the risk of being accused of flip-flopping, Redhook has decided to bring back the Mudslinger name after the beer's one-time release as Nut Brown last year. For the record, Redhook voted for the name change before he voted against it. But seriously, the whole mudslinging thing is pretty awesome — whether you're mountain biking, talking trash to your buddies, or throwing a no-holds-barred mudwrestling contest.
"Mudslinger is Redhook's take on the traditional brown ale style, and it's the perfect beer for the spring season," said Redhook senior brewer Alex Kopf. "After winning a silver at last year's World Beer Cup, our team is really excited to bring back Mudslinger again this year."
Dark in color, Mudslinger is refreshingly smooth and highly sessionable. It's layered with rich malty aromas and flavors of chocolate, caramel, brown sugar and a hint of vanilla. At 5.8% ABV and 30 IBUs, Mudslinger will retail for approximately $7.99-$8.99 per six-pack. Locations selling Mudslinger can be found using Redhook's beer finder at http://redhook.com/find-beer/.
About Redhook:
Redhook was born out of the energy and spirit of the early 80s in the heart of Seattle. While the term didn't exist at the time, Redhook became one of America's first "craft" breweries. From a modest start in a former transmission shop in the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard, to the current breweries in Woodinville, Wash., and Portsmouth, N.H., Redhook has become one of America's most recognized craft breweries. While Redhook has "grown up" during the past 30 years, one thing has never changed — Redhook is still brewing great beers like ESB, Long Hammer IPA, Copperhook, Pilsner and seasonal brews. Most importantly, Redhook makes sure to have fun doing it. Redhook's beers are available both on draught and in bottles around the country. For more information, visit www.redhook.com.

In this country of ubiquitous anniversaries, July 1, 2011 is the latest milestone to get heavy nationwide attention. You see, it was 90 years ago on this day that the Chinese Communist Party was founded, in a meeting that took place down in Shanghai.
In the lead up to the celebration, Beijing has been festooned with all kinds of red banners and other large statements of support and admiration for the Party. This particular banner you are looking at spans the tian qiao that crosses Zhongguancun Lu, right at the Peking University School of Government (my Chinese academic home base for the past three years). Despite the grand appearance, it's really nothing fancy, basically wishing the Chinese Communist Party well on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of its founding.
Stay tuned, as we plan on reporting from the scene down at Tian'anmen Square...
