Overnight Media Digest
* The government shutdown enters its second week with the two parties still bitterly divided and Republicans increasingly tying the fight to a fast-approaching deadline to avoid a default on U.S. debt. House Speaker John Boehner said he wouldn't bring up bills to fully reopen the government or raise the debt limit unless Democrats agree to broader talks aimed at trimming the deficit.
* Ireland's voters delivered a surprise rebuff to Prime Minister Enda Kenny in rejecting his proposal to close the upper house of the legislature, potentially weakening his ability to push through another round of tough spending cuts and tax increases when the government presents its 2014 budget this month.
* Warren Buffett tossed lifelines to a handful of bluechip companies during the financial crisis. Five years later the payoff on those deals is becoming clear: $10 billion and counting.
* With the government shutdown heading toward a second week, economists say it could hold back economic growth, business confidence and corporate earnings, but probably won't cause a recession. Many money managers doubt the damage will be lasting. Any stock selloff, they say, would be a great buying opportunity.
* In its IPO filing, Twitter Inc disclosed how much the microblogging platform earned from a lesser-known side business: $47.5 million came from selling off its data to a fast-growing group of companies that analyze the data for insights into news events and trends.
* Six days into the launch of insurance marketplaces created by the new healthcare law, the federal government acknowledged for the first time Sunday it needed to fix design and software problems that have kept customers from applying online for coverage.
* Star mutual-fund manager Bruce Berkowitz is opening up his nascent hedge fund to institutional investors. Berkowitz, the president of Fairholme Capital Management LLC, launched the fund on Jan. 1 and it has grown to $140 million. He is now seeking outside institutional investors and hopes the fund will grow to $1 billion in assets in a year.
* Dish Network Corp has again come under fire over its takeover bid for a telecommunications firm, a potential deal that could be personally lucrative for Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen.
* Wal-Mart Stores Inc's top executive for Asia said the company has revamped its practices and legal compliance in the region and is considering acquisitions in China, as the retailer faces headwinds in a cornerstone of its global expansion plans.
* Macy's Inc has shelved an online-expansion plan in China, the latest retailer to do so as economic growth slows in the world's second-largest economy. The company had planned to begin online sales of a private-label brand in China in the spring, after buying a minority stake last year in Chinese retail company VIPStore Co.
UK Chancellor George Osborne sought clearance from EU officials for a possible split of Royal Bank of Scotland in order to avoid strict EU regulations on state supported banks.
Temasek and Sinopec have separately expressed interest in buying Repsol's 4.7 billion euro ($6.39 billion) domestic gas distributor business, Gas Natural
Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson's Paulson & Co and a number of other U.S. hedge funds are investing aggressively into Greece's struggling banking sector expecting it to turn a corner.

France is stepping up efforts to trace the illegally funded French assets of foreign leaders after Syrian president, Bashir al-Assad's uncle was accused of having properties amassed through illegal means in France.

* The Federal Reserve will begin circulating a new $100 bill on Tuesday with some modern and colorful anti-counterfeiting features, after overcoming problems that postponed its debut for more than two and a half years.
* On Monday Nielsen Holdings NV is introducing Twitter TV Ratings, a product announced last year that professes to measure all the activity and reach of Twitter conversation about shows, even if it has yet to be embraced by television executives and gain a broad client base.
* Ahead of its initial public offering, Twitter must prove it can fend off a younger generation of nimble social services that offer clever new ways for people to connect and share. Among these up-and-comers are Snapchat, WhatsApp, Line, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, Kakao and Reddit.
* Michael Kors Holdings Ltd had extraordinary success with an initial public offering of his brand nearly two years ago, leading other designers to consider the same. On Wednesday, Marc Jacobs announced his departure from Louis Vuitton to focus on an initial public offering of his own brand.
* The largest banks on Wall Street are teaming up to join a network that could challenge an important part of Bloomberg's terminal business. The banks have all signed up for a messaging service that will be introduced on Monday and will allow finance industry employees to find and chat with one another quickly.
* The auction house Sotheby's announced on Friday that its board had adopted a shareholder rights plan, known as a poison pill, that is set off whenever an outsider acquires ownership of 10 percent or more of the company's stock. The company said that the rights will not prevent a takeover, but should encourage anyone seeking to acquire the company to negotiate with the board prior to attempting a takeover.
* Activist investor Carl Icahn is finally abandoning his battle against Dell Inc's sale to its founder Michael Dell. The billionaire investor disclosed on Friday that he is forgoing his right to have the Delaware Court of Chancery appraise the value of his shares in the computer company.
* More Canadians are joining the ranks of the self-employed, reflecting a reluctance among employers to make permanent hires, as well as the desire for some older workers to be their own bosses. The number of self-employed people grew by 95,600 between August and the same month last year - accounting for almost 40 per cent of new jobs created in that time.
* Canada has become an attractive pole for immigrants from around the world who are looking for a host country that will give them good opportunities. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, Canada's annual immigration flow is now proportionately one of the highest among OECD members, at 0.7 percent of its population.
Reports in the business section:
* It has been half a decade since the crash of 2008, but only a minority of Canadian executives say their companies have fully recovered from the deep downturn that shocked the world. The latest C-Suite Survey of business executives shows that while the vast majority are optimistic about their company's prospects, the scars of 2008-2009 still remain.
* Tensions between new entrant carriers and some incumbent players are heating up as the federal telecom regulator scrutinizes domestic roaming rates. Wind Mobile is criticizing BCE Inc and Telus Corp for challenging the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's authority to regulate the wholesale fees that carriers pay each other for domestic roaming services, arguing those incumbents are being "disingenuous" and "absurd".
* Malaysia's state-owned energy giant, Petronas, is to make a "gargantuan" investment of C$36 billion ($34.94 billion) in Canada to build a liquefied natural gas plant, and a pipeline from the plant that would be built by a Canadian company, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said on Sunday.

Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez has been ruled out for four weeks with a foot injury.
The 23-year old was forced to be replaced after just 20 minutes of his country's friendly game against Serbia on Wednesday, and the results from the scan have revealed that he is suffering from a sprained lateral ligament in his right foot.
If the injury keeps the attacker out of play as long as the Barcelona staff fear, then it could potentially keep him out for up to eight games for the club which means he will miss their crucial Champions League matches against Spartak Moscow and Benfica, while also a top-of-the-table clash with Atletico Madrid.
This will not be his first absence from the Camp Nou outfit, as earlier in the season he suffered from a small tear in his thigh, which kept him out for a short period of time.
Sanchez also has a history of returning from international duty with injury problems, which Tito Vilanova will be aware of.
However, captain Carles Puyol, who missed several weeks after dislocating his elbow, could be ready to return to action against Zaragoza on Saturday evening.
But Sergio Busquets is suspended for this weekend's clash.

DIXON – Four seats on the Dixon School Board and three on the Dixon Park Board are up for grabs in April.
Nomination petition forms now are available; they must be returned by Dec. 24.
Only one of the seven incumbents, school board member Woody Lenox, has picked up a petition, said the school board's secretary, Roxanne Mahan.
Another of the seven, John Weitzel of the Dixon Park Board, has decided not to seek re-election, he said.
The other school board members who must decide whether they're going to run again are Board President Tom Balser, Tracy Greenwalt, and Pam Tourtillott.
The other two park board members whose seats are up in April are Board President Bill Ost and Shane Miller. Miller was appointed by the board in November after Keith Aurand resigned.
Nominating petitions are available at the park district office, 804 Palmyra St., from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m., and at the school district office, 1335 Franklin Grove Road, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
School board candidates need a minimum of 50 signatures; park board candidates need a minimum of 54.

I do have a few points that I was a bit concerned about yesterday when I followed the steps in the tutorial....perhaps thats where I might be going wrong.Rmore

They are misrepresenting the concept of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
Saying that one person is competing against another for survival is not the same as a group of the species being able to compete better in a natural environment because of having a similar genetic change and that groups lineage being able to survive and out last the rest of the species without that genetic change.
Natural selection happens over long periods of time. Not over one lifetime.
Alright awesome, thank you both for the quick replies. I think I understood that at some level, but just couldn't articulate it quite like that. thanks!
Just tell them: "you're the muscle, I'm the brains."
In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny: "What a bunch of maroons!"
I agree with both of u, and I add that natural selection can't be applied that way in nowadays society. Small n skinny is irrelevant for survival now and big rugby players are not the fittest. Furthermore survival of the fittest doesn't explain much of our society maybe because as a kind we're the fittest.
Anyway, our relationships are explainded by other factors rather than survival, i think we're far beyond that.
drunk posting??? lol, nice!
@TJ Your understanding of the meaning "Survival of the fittest" is incorrect. Many people who have not studied the basics of Evolution assume that "Fittest" means the "Strongest". The most apt traits or best mutations to help the organism survive in its current environment are seen as the "fittest" and are passed on so that the next generation can reproduce. That is the aim of Evolution. It has no long term objectives. We should use the term "Natural Selection" instead.
Here is an interesting bit from Wikipedia
Conflation of "Survival of the fittest" and morality
Critics of evolution have argued that "survival of the fittest" provides a justification for behaviour that undermines moral standards by letting the strong set standards of justice to the detriment of the weak.[16] However, any use of evolutionary descriptions to set moral standards would be a naturalistic fallacy (or more specifically the is-ought problem), as prescriptive moral statements cannot be derived from purely descriptive premises. Describing how things are does not imply that things ought to be that way. It is also suggested that "survival of the fittest" implies treating the weak badly, even though in some cases of good social behaviour — cooperating with others and treating them well — might improve evolutionary fitness.[17][18] This however does not resolve the is-ought problem.
It has also been claimed that "the survival of the fittest" theory in biology was interpreted by late 19th century capitalists as "an ethical precept that sanctioned cut-throat economic competition" and led to "social Darwinism" which allegedly glorified laissez-faire economics, war and racism.[19] However these ideas predate and commonly contradict Darwin's ideas, and indeed their proponents rarely invoked Darwin in support, while commonly claiming justification from religion and Horatio Alger mythology. The term "social Darwinism" referring to capitalist ideologies was introduced as a term of abuse by Richard Hofstadter's Social Darwinism in American Thought published in 1944
Wow, what a back handed dig: 'We're so Christian that we've condescended to be friends with you. You, the puny guy, whose wimpy little mind, so beset by exotic theories, doesn't realize his world view lands him on the lowest rung of the social ladder. Poor thing. Well, friend, we're here to Chrisplain* it to you, so you can see just how great we and our religion are. If you want to be redeemed, like us, don't (just) worship us...bow down to our God.'
Even if they didn't realize how insulting their comment could be, you deserve smarter friends.

A few days ago there was speculation that President Obama would introduce two Cabinet nominees last week -- Sen. John Kerry for secretary of State and former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska for secretary of Defense. But Kerry stood alone with Obama on Friday. Does that mean that the president is caving to criticism of Hagel from supporters of Israel and, more recently, from gay-rights supporters offended by comments Hagel made in 1998 about a gay nominee for an ambassadorship?
Not necessarily. On Friday Hagel apologized for expressing concern in 1998 that James Hormel, President Clinton's choice to be ambassador to Luxembourg, was "openly, aggressively gay."
"My remarks 14 years ago in 1998 were insensitive," Hagel said. "They do not reflect my views or the totality of my public record, and I apologize to Ambassador Hormel and any LGBT Americans who may question my commitment to their civil rights. I am fully supportive of 'open service' and committed to LGBT military families."
Gay-rights groups seem to be mollified. A report in BuzzFeed quoted the Human Rights Campaign as welcoming Hagel's statement. "Sen. Hagel's apology and his statement of support for LGBT equality is appreciated and shows just how far as a country we have come when a conservative former Senator from Nebraska can have a change of heart on LGBT issues," said Chad Griffin, HRC's president. "Our community continues to add allies to our ranks and we're proud that Sen. Hagel is one of them."
Given the role of the secretary of Defense in overseeing a post-"don't ask, don't tell" military, Hagel's apology was the that minimum gay-rights supporters could expect. We can hope that it's not just politic but sincere. As Griffin said, mainstream opinion on gay issues has changed dramatically in recent years.
Hagel's comments about gays were arguably more offensive than the remarks that have led some critics to portray him as anti-Israel if not anti-Semitic. Hagel's comment that "the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here" was inaccurate (not all advocates for Israel are Jewish), but it wasn't anti-Semitic. The phrase "openly, aggressively gay" was a slur pure and simple. Hagel's apology for it seems to have eliminated one roadblock in the way of his appointment.

With Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in Brooklyn, Doc Rivers coaching the Clippers, and Rajon Rondo rehabbing a knee injury, the Celtics will have a new look this season.
Turns out so will the network that broadcasts their games.
Greg Dickerson, Donny Marshall, and Gary Tanguay won't be part of the network's Celtics coverage this season, while president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and Chris Herren are slated to fill in as color analysts on at least a couple of occasions.
Dickerson, the Celtics' sideline reporter since 2005, no longer will continue in that role, though he will continue to contribute to CSNNE and NECN programming.
The affable and knowledgeable Dickerson has dealt with neurological illnesses (epilepsy and Tourette's syndrome) that caused him to miss significant time two years ago.
He will be replaced by Abby Chin, who came to Boston from the CSN affiliate in Portland, Ore., as an anchor/reporter last December.
Marshall, the former UConn star who joined CSNNE as a Celtics analyst in 2005-06, once seemed in line to succeed Tommy Heinsohn someday.
But he was surpassed by former Celtic Brian Scalabrine, who was superb as an analyst last year. Though Scalabrine chose the coaching life over a media career, moving on to become an assistant coach with the Warriors, Marshall's contract still was not picked up.
Kyle Draper will replace Tanguay as the host of pre- and postgame studio coverage. Tanguay will remain as a host of "Sports Tonight."
The most familiar aspect of CSNNE's Celtics coverage will remain in place.
Heinsohn will be the color analyst for all home games alongside play-by-play voice Mike Gorman. It will be their 33d year together calling Celtics games.
When the Celtics are on the road, Heinsohn won't travel; instead, he will be in studio. The color analyst role will rotate on the road among several personalities, including Dave Cowens, Cedric Maxwell, and most intriguingly, Ainge and Herren, who will join Gorman in tandem.
Studio analysts who will join Draper at times include Cowens, Tim Welsh, and Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated.Chad Finn can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeChadFinn.

It is possible to cook ordinary pasta in a standard microwave! You might need to experiment a bit to get the timing just right, but it does work.
Goodness, is your dorm made of paper that so many cooking devices are forbidden? I'd be getting up in someone's grill (no pun intended) if I wasn't allowed a stove or even a hot plate in the room I'm paying to live in. Speaking of grills...are things like George Foreman grills also not allowed? Maybe you could build a campfire in your living room and roast hot dogs and burgers - bet there's no policy against that

Q: What is Metasearch?
Metasearch technology takes results from the leading search engines (Yahoo Search!, Google), eliminates the duplicates and delivers you the most comprehensive set of results. You benefit by obtaining a quicker, more accurate set of results to your query.
Metasearch covers more of the Web - Using more search engines means a better overall coverage of the Web. Does it sound too obvious? In fact, an independent search engine expert has agreed, stating that our metasearch technology can search 50% more of the Web than any single search engine.*
Metasearch is easy to use - Better results and more coverage of the Web is great - but not if you need an advanced degree to make it work. Hunter metasearch is easy. All you do is enter your search and click 'Search'. The great results will take care of themselves!
Search more engines, get the best results from more of the Web and do it all easily. That's what metasearch is all about!
*Disclaimer: Greg Notess, an independent search engine expert, verified our methodology and validated that our metasearch technology can retrieve 50% or more additional results.Top of page
Q: What is the Preferences section?
A: The Preferences section allows you to customize your search based on your preferences. These settings remain in place until you change them.Top of page
Q: How do I search within results or refine my search?
The metasearch technology gives you the opportunity to search within results for greater accuracy. When you enter a search, metasearch technology automatically organizes results into categories based on words and phrases contained in the results.
For example, if you searched the term "insurance", metasearch technology would sort the results into various insurance categories (Home, Auto, Fire, Health, etc.) under the "Refine Your Results" heading on the left side of the results page. You can view the results for that specific category by clicking the featured category links.
Q: How do I filter out Adult Content from my searches?
A: Adult content can be filtered from your search results, by changing your preference settings. To do so:
- Visit the Preferences page
- Select the level of filtering you want (Heavy, Moderate, None) from the list in the Search Filter section and click Save Settings. Heavy Filter will filter out as much adult content as possible.
Once you have set the filter to Heavy, it will remain on Heavy until you change your settings. Results for filtered searches are only provided by partners who provide filtered results.Top of page
Q: How can I improve my search accuracy when looking for images, video, or news results?
A: You can search for these specific categories of results by clicking on the corresponding links at the top of the search page. You can also refine your search within each category by using the Advanced Search option. For example, when searching for an image, you can filter for specific image color, size, or file format. Video searches can be filtered for playtime or file format. And news searches can be filtered by news category, location, date or source.Top of page
Recent Searches Questions
Q: What does the Recent Searches feature do?
A: The Recent Searches area allows you to view your previous search terms and then click to retrieve past results quickly without having to re-enter in your search terms into the search box. Just click any link in your Recent Searches area to see the results for your last ten searches.Top of page

Understanding their relevance to the 21st century.
Why was the Temple destroyed? The Talmud says: Because of baseless hatred amongst Jews.
The Temple Mount arouses Jewish passions like no other issue. Here's why.
Barbaric? Bringing a sacrifice was actually a peak spiritual experience.
We must feel the pain of exile if we have any hope of reversing it.

series: Martha Stewart's Cooking School
air date: 2/09/13 11:00 AM
This episode is devoted to roasting, a straightforward and adaptable technique that also works well for meat, fish and chicken. Martha's roast chicken showcases the benefits of this method, with a crisp exterior and moist interior. Because roasting so beautifully concentrates the flavors of the ingredients, it's also well suited to vegetables, and Martha includes a recipe for a delicious roasted root vegetable salad. Finally, she prepares a show-stopping dish fit for any holiday table: a green peppercorn-crusted roast tenderloin of beef.

I went to the mall this afternoon to get my phone fixed, but unfortunately it was much more expensive than I first anticipated, so I just decided to buy two games and then wander around the area until I got to this other mall which I go to watch movies and read books (the cinema is a privately owned cinema, quite small, but shows the latest flicks), and so I decided to wander into the used book store which I had bought some books in the past.
What I found next astounded me. There was actually old computer books which would have cost more online sold at dirt-cheap prices.
One of them include The Second Edition of C, the one written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, a complete book on repairing old consoles and arcade machines, another is David H Ahl's BASIC Computer Games..I almost fainted when I found this, probably since I tend to get excited about something for no particular reason. Some are not so interesting, but still worth something in my opinion, which include a book filled with cheat codes for PC games published till 1996, a book on Apple II programming, one was on the various IBM compatibles and the hit applications for the PC platform, and another one was on OS/2.
Unfortunately I didn't buy any of them, since I had used some of my money since I bought two games, a copy of this month's PC Gamer, and a meal, and even if I did, I'd be rattled by my parents for buying "junk" (which is quite ironic, since they collect a lot of antiques, which include a fan which takes ten minutes to even start, a grandfather clock which could no longer be winded, and a 50's era lamp which is cannot be used due to differences in circuitry, and a rotary dial phone which could not be used to make calls anymore)
Should I just buy and keep them, since somehow I felt that I have to get them and keep them since I felt it was worth something, but I'm afraid that no one will really appreciate them the way I do with them.

Why does it matter if no one appreciates them the way you do? You're buying them for yourself, not for someone else :B. Besides, if they're dirt cheap, you don't exactly have all that much to lose.
Personally I would say buy a couple. I think it would be really interesting to skim through them and learn a bit about how things used to be. From those listed, I think the "repairing old consoles and arcade machines" book would be pretty intriguing.

Shadows Fall, 'In the Studio With Adam D' – Exclusive Video Premiere
Shadows Fall's much anticipated new album 'Fire From the Sky' is set to drop on May 15, and Loudwire has an exclusive behind-the-scenes video of the band in the studio with producer Adam Dutkiewicz.
'Fire From the Sky' is the first release for Shadows Fall since 2009′s 'Retribution,' and the first for new label Razor & Tie. Frontman Brian Fair says, "'Fire From The Sky' is not a concept album by any means, but a few common themes do link these songs together. These days, the world seems to be spiraling out of control into a frantic state of confusion, corruption and chaos. It's as if we are living under the shadow of an impending apocalypse. The songs on this album were inspired by this chaos and the struggle to find answers in these dark days."
The band's seventh studio album was recorded at Zing Studios in Westfield, Mass. In addition to producing 'Fire From the Sky,' Dutkiewicz was also involved in the writing process. The Killswitch Engage guitarist and prolific producer (As I Lay Dying, Unearth, Caliban) also worked with Shadows Fall on their 1997 debut 'Somber Eyes to the Sky.'
Shadows Fall have a lot of touring coming up, with a couple of shows with Anthrax in Mexico, then their first U.S. date on April 26 in Nashville. They hook up with Fear Factory for a few weeks, then on May 25 kick off their own headlining run. Click here for their full list of tour dates.

Striking Firefighters taking part in a 24-hour walk out gathered with placards outside Doncaster today in a row with the government over pensions.
The walk-out is the longest strike yet in the three-year dispute.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) said the government's proposals were "unaffordable and unfair"
But the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) accused the union of causing problems by "disrupting" discussions.

ASCO LOS ANGELES--Five studies presented at the American Society
of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting raise questions as to whether
platinum/taxane combinations are better in non-small-cell lung
cancer (NSCLC) than standard platinum/etoposide (VePesid) regimens,
and if so, which platinum and which taxane used in combination
are best with respect to efficacy, toxicity, and cost?
"In the 1990s and for ever more, no discussion of clinical
trials results can be considered adequate without addressing cost,
including consumption of supportive care medical resources,"
Ron Natale, MD, of the University of Southern California Norris
Cancer Center, said in his discussion of the five trials.
The studies all involved use of a platinum--either cisplatin (Platinol)
or carboplatin (Paraplatin)--combined with 96-hour, 24-hour, or
3-hour infusions of paclitaxel (Taxol), or with docetaxel (Taxotere).
He noted that supportive care measures seemed to be profoundly
different with different taxane regimens.
Three-Hour Paclitaxel Favored?
"There appears to be a difference in the rate of severe granulocytopenia
and febrile neutropenia favoring the 3-hour Taxol regimens,"
Dr. Natale said. Growth factor support is not required with 3-hour
paclitaxel infusion, he added. Furthermore, serotonin antagonists
for nausea and vomiting, which are almost always required with
cisplatin plus docetaxel or 24-hour paclitaxel, are rarely required
with carboplatin plus 3-hour paclitaxel.
All of the platinum/taxane regimens require steroid support, "but
steroids are cheap; hospitalization is not," Dr. Natale said.
In his own study of carboplatin plus 3-hour paclitaxel, there
were only four hospitalizations for management of chemotherapy-related
toxicity out of 206 courses of outpatient therapy.
Dr. Natale noted that "no firm conclusions can be drawn from
this type of comparison" and looked to three comparative
trials to help resolve the issues.

Kansas is waiting for word on how to help Texas officials continue recovering from Hurricane Ike, even as rescue crews discovered a bright spot amid the devastation Monday.
Rescuers searching a hard-hit isolated area near Galveston found 60 people alive. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of evacuees are lining up for food, water and gasoline.
The death toll from Ike and its remnants in ten states stands at 39.
The Kansas National Guard has three Black Hawks and 21 crew members assisting in Houston, and the state is ready to do more.
"It's really now whatever Texas needs," KS Adjutant General Tod Bunting said Monday. "They're largely through with response and are now in recovery which we can say from experience - the devastation is one thing - the recovery from that much water is the hardest of storms to recover from."
Bunting says the last Guard soldiers who assisted with supply distribution in Louisiana following Hurricane Gustav returned to Kansas Monday. They could be asked to do the same in Texas. The state has also offered use of the Guard's mobile hospital unit.

Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Marc Edwards, a professor of civil engineering at Virginia Tech, will give the talk, "The Washington, D.C., Lead-in-Water Crisis: A Public Health Tragedy," on Thursday, March 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the Forum of the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell University.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the University Lectureship Committee, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, College of Engineering and Bucknell University Environmental Center.
Hazardous lead levels
In January 2004, Washington, D.C., residents learned that hazardous levels of lead had been present in their drinking water supply for several years. Edwards has spent eight years investigating the origin and aftermath.
His findings reveal how local and Federal authorities distorted scientific studies and facts to hide the truth from the public about the contamination and the harm done to D.C.'s children. Edwards will highlight multiple examples of illegal and unethical behavior by scientists and engineers.
'The Plumbing Professor'
A 2008-12 MacArthur Fellow, Edwards is the recipient of the 2009 Praxis Award in Professional Ethics from Villanova University. His research on the genesis and aftermath of the D.C. lead crisis resulted in multiple Congressional Investigations of government agency wrongdoing and several award-winning, peer-reviewed scientific publications, including the Best Science Paper of 2009 in the journal, Environmental Science and Technology.
Portions of his work are featured as a "Moral Exemplar" on the National Academy of Engineering's Online Ethics Center. Edwards was featured as "The Plumbing Professor" by Time magazine as one of four "Innovators" in water from around the world, and "The Water Guy" by Prism magazine.
Edwards holds a bachelor's degree in biophysics from SUNY Buffalo and master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Washington. The White House awarded him a Presidential Faculty Fellowship in 1996.
As the Charles Lunsford Professor of Civil Engineering at Virginia Tech, Edwards teaches courses in environmental engineering and applied aquatic chemistry. Since 1995, undergraduate and graduate students advised by him have won 22 nationally recognized awards for their research work on corrosion and water treatment.
His students' work has been featured on National Public Radio and in Time magazine, Materials Performance, Prism, Salon, Good Housekeeping, Environmental Science and Technology, Public Works, Earth and Sky, and in newspaper articles around the country. The work has spurred several new Federal laws to protect the public from lead in water hazards.
Edwards' research group is currently emphasizing research on internal corrosion processes in home plumbing, a problem costing consumers in the U.S. billions of dollars each year and which also can endanger the safety of potable water. The research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, individual water utilities and homeowners' groups, the AWWA Research Foundation, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and the Copper Development Association.Contact: Division of Communications

The Dolphins have lost again, this time to the Texans, 23-13. It's bad, folks.
The team is not only 0-2 but 0-2 at home. It's bad, folks.
The Dolphins are winless. Everyone else in the AFC East is undefeated. It's really bad.
Now Miami goes on the road three consecutive game, including trips to San Diego and the New York Jets.
All I can say is no one's job can be considered safe right now -- even if we're just two games into the season. It's bad, folks.

|Obama Recognizes Syrian Opposition Group
|[ABC News.GO] In a diplomatic shift, President B.O. said today his administration now formally recognizes the newly-formed, leading coalition of Syrian rebels who are fighting to topple Syria's embattled Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir
Terror of Aleppo
...For centuries, Aleppo was Greater Syria's largest city and the Ottoman Empire's third, after Constantinople and Cairo. Although relatively close to Damascus in distance, Aleppans regard Damascenes as country cousins...
"We've made a decision that the Syrian Opposition Coalition is now inclusive enough, is reflective and representative enough of the Syrian population that we consider them the legitimate representative of the Syrian people in opposition to the Assad regime," Obama said.
The announcement, made during an exclusive interview with ABC News' Barbara Walters, grants new legitimacy to the rebel group and marks a new phase in U.S. efforts to isolate the Assad regime.
"It's a big step," Obama said of the decision. The United States follows Britannia and the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, both of which last month recognized the Syrian opposition group.

text: This is just one more way that Blizzard is aggressively attempting to reverse the subscriber bleed that only just recently came to a halt. Lowering the barrier to reentry for returning players will go a long way toward getting those people to check back in, especially if it means those players will get to see the other faction for the very first time. It could very well mean a brand new gaming experience for some of those returning players.

CHICAGO (AP) -- People who signed up recently for health insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois now have until Jan. 30 to pay their first month's premium and still get coverage for all of January.
Company spokesman Greg Thompson says customers must pay their first month's premium before coverage for medical benefits begins. But claims for services received between Jan. 1 and when the first payment is received will be processed retroactively.
Blue Cross has the most customers in the state's individual market.
Thompson says the company is extending the payment deadline to give customers extra time to plan their household budgets.
The extension applies to people who bought a Blue Cross plan either on the new insurance marketplace or directly from the insurance company.

Is it me, or is RPMdrake broken in Mandriva 2005?
I used to be able (in Mandrake 9.2 or 10.0) to add a directory on my harddisk to the list of Software Media Sources in S.M.Manager by selecting "Local Files", giving it a name, entering the directory path and clicking on ok.
Now when I do the same procedure in Mandrivas Software Media Manager I get this message:
"Unable to add medium, errors reported: ... copying failed".
The name I've chosen, however, does get added to the Media List.
If I try to Update this Media Source, the following message appears:
"Unable to update medium; it will be automatically disabled. Errors: ...copying failed Unable to build synthesis file for medium 'Local Disk'. Your hdlist file may be corrupted".
There appears to be a new textbox option on the 2005 Add Media Source dialog, namely "Relative path to synthesis/hdlist", which I don't remember from previous versions. I have no idea what to insert here so have been leaving it blank - is this the problem, and if so what is the correct entry?
This problem exists on two different computers in separate locations. Has anyone else encountered it yet, and have you found a cure?
I'm lost without my local collection of rpm's at my fingertips!!

While the Jetstar group is attracting headlines for its rapid growth across Asia, the low-cost carrier also is expanding its core Australian domestic operations.
Jetstar Airways is targeting a domestic capacity increase in the high single digits for the current fiscal year ending June 30, says David Hall, who heads the carrier's operations within Australia and New Zealand. "We see sustainable growth [potential] in the domestic market," he tells Aviation Week.
Rival airlines are adding lots of seats in the Australian market, and Hall says Jetstar "will respond to the capacity our competitors are bringing in." He notes that the Qantas group strategy is to maintain a 65% domestic market share, and Jetstar will contribute to that goal. "We'll defend [the 65%]," says Hall. Even if boosting capacity might cause short-term pain, "it is important for long-term positioning."
Jetstar is receiving new aircraft to support its growth, with the group due to take delivery of its 100th aircraft this week. Jetstar Airways' fleet comprises 11 A330s and 58 Airbus A320-family aircraft, including nine that are based in New Zealand. The rest of the group's aircraft are A320s operated by its Asian joint-venture airlines.
The Jetstar group also has a very healthy order book, thanks mainly to an order for 110 Airbus A320s that was placed by parent Qantas in 2011. Of this total, 32 aircraft will be current-generation A320s and 78 will be A320NEOs, which are scheduled for delivery from fiscal 2016. Hall says these orders will be used for expansion in the Asian joint ventures, fleet replacement and some network growth in the Australia-New Zealand operation. The NEOs will give the carrier more opportunities through their greater efficiency and range, Hall says.
Dual Brands
The Qantas group also has 14 Boeing 787-8s on order that are due to begin arriving this year. These are all earmarked for Jetstar and will replace the A330s, which will be transferred to the Qantas mainline operation.
Qantas's dual-brand strategy allows it to assess whether the low-cost or premium product is best suited to each domestic market, says Hall. For example, starting June 4, Jetstar will replace Qantas on its route from Sydney to the tourist destination of Ayers Rock. Hall says the switch was made because Qantas was losing money on the route. But Jetstar, with its lower cost and fare base, is expected to stimulate demand in this market, he adds. Ayers Rock will be Jetstar's 19th domestic destination.
Some of Jetstar's Australian markets have been more challenging than others. For example, Hall says the carrier's operation in the Northern Territory city of Darwin has not developed as expected. This is the "most marginal" part of Jetstar's network, he says. However, a lot of development and investment is expected to occur in Darwin, and Hall predicts that demand in this market will pick up soon.
Qantas's main domestic rival, Virgin Australia, has stated that it is targeting Jetstar with its plan to buy low-cost carrier Tiger Airways Australia, which operates domestic routes. However, Hall says he is not losing any sleep over the deal.
Jetstar remains focused on its own operation despite Virgin's move into the low-cost market, Hall says. However, he notes that Jetstar has a "scale advantage" over Tiger. While Jetstar has more than 60 aircraft in its Australia and New Zealand operation, Tiger has 11. This enables Jetstar to keep its cost base lower, says Hall.

State leaders say a nearly $1 billion project to update pollution controls at a massive Louisville power plant will be a boost for Kentucky's coal industry.
The upgrades at LG&E's Mill Creek Generating Station in southwestern Jefferson County are expected to add about 700 construction jobs. They will also allow the 1,400-megawatt plant to continue to burn coal by meeting stricter federal air regulations that go in force in 2016.
Officials say the coal that feeds the plant comes mostly from western Kentucky mines.
Kentucky's top energy official, Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Len Peters, says the $940 million upgrade shows power plants "can use coal in an environmentally conscious manner."
LG&E says the upgrades will remove 98 percent of the sulfur dioxide from the plant's emissions.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - The Georgia College & State University (5-1-1) soccer team crunched the Mars Hill College Lions (4-3-3) 3-0 tonight (Sept. 26, 2008) at Meares Stadium, posting another shutout.
The Georgia College defense frustrated the opposition as the Lions only mustered eight shots with three on goal. Meanwhile, the Bobcats relied on their team speed to hurl 17 total shots with three scoring strikes. The shutout was the fifth of the season for Georgia College, as the Bobcats haven't surrendered a goal in the last 229 minutes and nine seconds.
The first scoring play for the Bobcats came at the 30:07 mark as junior Daria Owen (Snellville, Ga.) got her first of the season from 40 yards out. The offense warmed up in the cool, damp air as junior Morgan Cobb (Cataula, Ga.) assisted freshman Megan McAlpin's (Newnan, Ga.) breakaway goal just before halftime, McAlpin's second.
Coming out in the second half, Georgia College maintained tempo with four shots on goal leading up to the final goal of the night. At 21:26 remaining in the second half, Kayla Emerson (Fayetteville, Ga.) scored her first goal of the season off a rebound to put the Bobcats comfortably ahead.
Goalie Mary Rob Plunkett (Augusta, Ga.) played a complete game as she stopped all three shots on goal. The Bobcat defense has allowed only two goals in seven games this season.
Next up for the Bobcats is a home battle against The University of North Alabama Sunday, Sept. 28 starting at 2 p.m. The Bobcat defense looks to shut down Brazilian forward Tassia Augusto, who already has 14 goals this season.
The GCSU Department of Athletics sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

text: CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Michigan's majority-GOP legislature voted Tuesday in favor of two "right-to-work" bills that would allow workers in unionized workplaces to avoid payment of union dues, the Wall Street Journal reported in its digital editions. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder is now expected to sign the legislation as early as Wednesday, the newspaper said. Earlier on Tuesday, the legislature passed a bill covering public unions, and then later passed one that related to private unions. Protesters continued to make their voices heard outside the state capitol building in Lansing, arguing that right-to-work laws harm workers by undermining their ability to fight for higher wages. The just-passed legislation does not apply to police and firefighter unions.

May 31, 2011 > Senate: Sanofi coordinated lobbying by physicians
WASHINGTON (AP), May 25 - Drugmaker Sanofi gave millions of dollars to two medical societies which urged the Food and Drug Adminsitration to delay approving a low-cost version of the company's blockbuster blood thinner Lovenox, according to a Senate investigation released Wednesday.Investigators for the Senate Finance Committee say Sanofi appeared to encourage the medical groups to write letters asking the FDA to block a generic version of the blockbuster drug, saying it might not be as safe as the original.According to the committee, the medical groups ``served as components of a coordinated public relations strategy by Sanofi to ... prevent or delay generic alternatives to its blockbuster drug.''Documents obtained by investigators show that Sanofi donated more than $2 million each to the Society of Hospital Medicine and the North American Thrombosis Forum. The groups did not disclose the payments in their letters to FDA last year. The letters to the FDA were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.Paris-based Sanofi said in a statement the medical groups ``brought legitimate and important patient safety facts and considerations to the attention of the FDA.'' Generic drugs can run a fraction of the cost of branded drugs, saving money for consumers and health care providers. Branded drug companies routinely use a variety of tactics to slow the entry of generic drugs, including filing safety petitions with the FDA.The FDA ultimately approved the generic version of Lovenox last summer. But Senators Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Max Baucus, D-Mont., said the FDA must demand more information about the ties between drugmakers and nonprofit medical groups that contact the agency.``If the FDA isn't asking for disclosure of financial relationships, it's operating from an uninformed standpoint,'' Grassley said in a statement. ``The FDA has a responsibility to conduct due diligence in this area in order to make sure its reviews have credibility.''Under a 2009 law authored by Grassley, drugmakers must disclose gifts and payments made to individual physicians. However, the law does not cover company payments to nonprofit groups, which often lobby on issues that benefit both physicians and drug companies.

Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN
So to recap expanded Jets GM search: Upcoming interviews for Jerry Angelo, Omar Khan, Brian Gaine, John Idzik. Jim Popp also on radar. #nyj
Get your Poppcorn ready
So we have 5 of the 6
And one more mystery guest
Jeff Capellini @GreenLanternJet
Been talking to various people close to situation all day and the consensus is Cohen will not be promoted unless roof caves in. #Jets #NFL
Jeff Capellini @GreenLanternJet
From same discussions, #Jets serious about changing how they do things. Due diligence on GM hire, not taking bait at pressers as examples.
@BrianCoz: A lot of questions about Tom Gamble. I've heard he did not wow the Jets in his interview but they have not ruled anyone out.
@MMehtaNYDN: Jets interviewing a long list of GM candidates in coming days as part of expanded search. Here's updated story: http://t.co/E9tZghvA #nyj
Brian Costello @BrianCoz
Idzik and Khan are first candidates that come from the business side of their respective front offices. Other guys have all been personnel.
So can everyone calm down for Christs sake.
The more this search plays out, the more I am actually getting impressed and encouraged by it. The Jets have interviewed the up and comers(Gamble, Caldwell, Ross) and now are interviewing guys with the business type back ground(Idzik and Kahn) and guys with GM experience(Angelo and Popp)
They had the chance with Gamble to jump on a hot name early and end it, but they didn't. I don't totally rule him out yet, but the Jets will be able to see a lot of different types candidates and make an informed decision with a lot of basis to judge candidates against each other, which is very smart in my opinion.

Pennsylvania's deteriorating transportation infrastructure is finally getting the attention it deserves.
It's about time.
Unfortunately, that's all it's getting, at least for right now. The usual Harrisburg bottleneck means at least a few more months before the state's crumbling roads and bridges are addressed.
And when our elected officials finally do put pen to paper and sign off on a massive new spending plan to shore up the state's infrastructure, they should be honest about who's going to be paying this bill — that would be us, almost assuredly at the gasoline pump.
According to the plan that appeared set to pass before a last-minute hang-up between the House and Senate left it in limbo until the fall, most of the funding would come from removing the $1.25 cap on the oil company franchise tax over three years. At today's prices, it would add another 28.5 cents per gallon to the bill paid by wholesalers, according to the legislation.
Some lawmakers, including state Sen. Rob Teplitz, a Dauphin County Democrat, said they don't expect that move to have a big impact on consumers.
"It's not a direct, penny-for-penny connection between the wholesale tax and prices at the pump," he said.
Says who?
Not wholesalers like Bob Astor, the fleet manager at Shipley Energy who said his profit margin currently is 0.5 cents to 1.5 cents a gallon.
"If the tax goes up 28 cents a gallon, how will that not affect prices at the pump? Of course it will," he said, adding consumers will solely absorb the increase.
"For the Legislature to think the wholesaler will be able to absorb the 28.5 cents per gallon tax increase is absurd. Where are we going to get the money from? We're going to pass it on to the end user or re-seller," Astor said.
That actually makes a lot more sense than lawmakers' vague claims to the contrary.
And it makes lawmakers' attempts to mitigate any pain pale by comparison. The Senate plan includes temporarily lowering the state's 12 cents per gallon flat tax paid at the pump to 11 cents per gallon in 2013-14 and 10 cents per gallon in 2014-15.
So we'll likely pay 28.5 cents more per gallon, but in exchange we'll also get a 2 cent break — temporarily.
Gee, thanks.
So why not just be up front with the constituents? That is: We — our elected officials, technically — have neglected our roads and bridges for so long now they are a danger. It's going to be expensive to fix and painful. We're all going to feel it.
Maybe it's because lawmakers hope to avoid some unpleasant questions.
For instance, why are we being asked to shoulder this significant burden at the same time the House is proposing $300 million in tax breaks for businesses?
And why don't we fund transportation projects with a reasonable severance tax on big companies drilling for natural gas in the state's Marcellus Shale formation, as every other large gas-producing state collects?
Why did we settle instead for a relatively paltry fee on drillers?
Why does this administration and Legislature always turn first, hand out, to those least able to afford it?
These are reasonable questions.
Any straight answers?
