Stewart's elevation to near-iconic status says more about those doing the elevating than about the comedian himself. His "bravery" and much-vaunted grasp of political nuance consists mostly of his embrace of every reflexive assumption shared by every litmus-tested liberal holding forth at every chic Manhattan dinner party.
It's a long article, which includes a lot of funny stuff from the show, but let me just pull out this argument:
There's no more striking example of how big a part ideology plays in the mainstream media's taste in comedy than its about-face on Stewart's fellow comedian Dennis Miller. Making his bones as one of Chevy Chase's successors behind the Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" anchor desk, Miller was long a media darling, praised like Stewart for inventiveness and daring, especially when he became host of his long-running HBO show, Dennis Miller Live. As the New York Times's Caryn James wrote in 1996, Miller is "as scabrous and funny a political satirist as anyone around," given to "irreverent comments on the news."
That's when Miller was a man of the Left. Then, after September 11, in a metamorphosis both startling and brave, given the world in which he made his living, Miller emerged as an outspoken defender of Bush's foreign policy. Instantly, he became the skunk at the media party. In 2004, hosting a new show on CNBC, he found himself dismissed by the very same Caryn James as one of "the stand-up comics turned pontificating policy wonks." To her colleague Rich, he was simply "formerly funny."
Too true! But I will say something in the media's defense here. Stewart's comic persona is lovable. Miller always had a nasty edge. Both men seem to think you're stupid if you don't agree with them -- which makes the audience want to laugh along to prove they're smart -- but Miller dares you to get pissed at him, and Stewart seems to be begging us to still like him. And it works. I still like Stewart and watch every episode of the show. I even laugh when things I believe are mocked. There's enough gentleness to the satire that people who don't agree can watch. And it's hard to say that about Miller.

Sun UK cans Phoenix, 60 support engineers
IT phone India
Staffers at Phoenix IT in the UK have become the latest technology experts to start training their Indian replacements after Sun Microsystems informed the firm that it's looking for cheaper labor.
Between 60 and 100 Phoenix staffers trained to handle Solaris/Sun support calls are fighting for their survival. The workers once handled complex support calls for Sun customers in Asia, Europe and the US. But no more.
"Sun have now advised us that they have decided to move the service to a lower cost solution - the service for APAC for example will be delivered from India," Phoenix MD Steve Neville wrote to employees in a document obtained by The Register. "This decision has been made solely on the basis of the cost savings that can be achieved by such a change and in no way reflects on the service quality that bas been delivered here in the UK."
Neither Phoenix or Sun chose to comment about these moves.
Phoenix hopes to train the Indian workers and turn over APAC operations by the end of September. It then looks to wind down US and EMEA operations by February of next year.
"Our relationship with Sun remains very strong and we have as many of you will know increased our Managed Services site engineer services considerably over the last year," Neville wrote. "We are therefore exploring with Sun the possibility of redeploying hub staff affected by this change into the Managed Services arena."
Good luck, friends. And remember, "It is also important that you maintain this high standard throughout the transition period as it will give us the best possible base to achieve the redeployment of staff."
These cuts follow more direct layoffs Sun made over the last three months. The server maker trimmed several hundred of its North American workers from the payrolls.
Sun rival IBM has also been busy packing staffers off to lower-cost destinations. Last week, El Reg discovered hundreds of workers in South Africa taking over mainframe support jobs from UK workers. In May, we also reported on HP's decision indirectly to move hundreds of jobs to India after it cut a support contract with twenty4help. ®

- Incident-energy dependence of the effective temperature in heavy-ion collisions (2003)
- We study the behaviour of the effective temperature for K+ in several energy domains. For this purpose, we apply the recently developed SPheRIO code for hydrodynamics in 3+1 dimensions, using both Landau-type compact initial conditions and spatially more spread ones. We show that initial conditions given in small volume, like Landau-type ones, are unable to reproduce the effective temperature together with other data (multiplicities and rapidity distributions). These quantities can be reproduced altogether only when using a large initial volume with an appropriate velocity distribution.
- Energy dependence of transverse mass spectra of kaons produced in p+p and p+pbar interactions : a compilation (2003)
- The data on mT spectra of K0S K+ and K- mesons produced in all inelastic p + p and p + pbar interactions in the energy range sqrt(s)NN=4.7-1800GeV are compiled and analyzed. The spectra are parameterized by a single exponential function, dN/(m_T*dm_T)=C exp(-m_T/T), and the inverse slope parameter T is the main object of study. The T parameter is found to be similar for K0S, K+ and K- mesons. It increases monotonically with collision energy from T~30MeV at sqrt(s)NN=4.7GeV to T~220MeV at sqrt(s)NN=1800GeV. The T parameter measured in p+p and p+pbar interactions is significantly lower than the corresponding parameter obtained for central Pb+Pb collisions at all studied energies. Also the shape of the energy dependence of T is different for central Pb+Pb collisions and p+p(pbar) interactions.
- Energy scan program at the Cern SPS and an observation of the deconfinement phase transition in nucleus-nucleus collisions (2003)
- The history and the main results of the energy scan program at the CERN SPS are reviewed. Several anomalies in energy dependence of hadron production predicted as signals of deconfinement phase transition are observed and they indicate that the onset of deconfinement is located at about 30 A GeV. For the first time we seem to have clear evidence for the existence of a deconfined state of matter in nature.
- Transverse activity of kaons and the deconfinement phase transition in nucleus-nucleus collisions (2003)
- We found that the experimental results on transverse mass spectra of kaons produced in central Pb+Pb (Au+Au) interactions show an anomalous dependence on the collision energy. The inverse slopes of the spectra increase with energy in the low (AGS) and high (RHIC) energy domains, whereas they are constant in the intermediate (SPS) energy range. We argue that this anomaly is probably caused by a modification of the equation of state in the transition region between confined and deconfined matter. This observation may be considered as a new signal, in addition to the previously reported anomalies in the pion and strangeness production, of the onset of deconfinement located in the low SPS energy domain.

Strauss-Kahn: have the French been too complacent? (part 2)
Have the French been too complacent with DSK? The boss of the IMF has long been known as a compulsive womaniser, behaviour some say sometimes bordered on harassment. This was known to French politicians - allies and enemies alike - it was known to French journalists, and to a lesser extent it was known to the French public. Yet it never hindered Strauss-Kahn's career...

Metamaterial Superconductor Hints At New Era of High Temperature Superconductors 39
KentuckyFC writes: Superconductors allow current to flow with zero resistance when cooled below some critical temperature. They are the crucial ingredients in everything from high-power magnets and MRI machines to highly sensitive magnetometers and magnetic levitation devices. But one big problem is that superconductors work only at very low temperatures — the highest is around 150 kelvin (-120 degrees centigrade). So scientists would dearly love to find ways of raising this critical temperature. Now a group of physicists say they've found a promising approach: to build metamaterial superconductors that steer electrons in the same way as other metamaterials steer light to create invisibility cloaks. The inspiration for the work comes from the observation that some high temperature superconductors consist of repeated layers of conducting and dielectric structures. So the team mixed tin — a superconductor at 3.7 kelvin — with the dielectric barium titanate and found that it raised the critical temperature by 0.15 kelvin. That's the first demonstration that superconductors can be thought of as metamaterials. With this proof of principle under their belts, the next step is to look for bigger gains at higher temperatures.

The Northern Downpour Sends It's Love
When Edward leaves, Bella is left broken and bleeding. It's been six months since that fateful birthday, and still there has been no word of the Cullens. After perusing a yard sale and purchasing six glass bottles with no idea what to do with them, she returns home and shuts herself into her room. She finds a single loose floorboard and pries it up to find a box of hidden treasures she thought had been lost forever... Takes place mid-New Moon, after Edward leaves.
1. Chapter 1: Empty Glass Bottles
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1780 Review this Chapter
"My tears run down like razorblades
I know, I'm not the one to blame
It's you.
Or is it me?
And all the words we never say
Come out, and now we're all ashamed.
And there's no sense in playing games
When you've done all you can do."
--"It's Not Over" by Secondhand Serenade
I drive down the winding road through the sheeting rain, staring numbly out the windshield. I'm not sure where I'm going at the moment, but sometimes I just need to get out of the house. I need to get away from the reminders, shoving needles into my already wounded heart.
I pass a yard sale, and momentarily think about stopping. Maybe I could find something for Charlie, I think, and finally decide to make a U-Turn and check it out. I pull up behind another car and step outside of my warm truck. The slamming of the door behind me echoes in my ears dully.
Stepping into the shelter of the small tent above the tables, I realized that I was at Tyler Crowley's house. He waves slightly from behind the table, and his mother turns her head to whisper into his ear. He watches me warily, as if I might explode. Maybe I will.
I peruse the small selection of items, skipping over a crate filled with old books. I hadn't read a book in what seemed like forever – and it had been forever – they collected dust on my bookshelf. My eyes skip over the box of eight track tapes, and another with CD's, and then another with old vinyl records. I hadn't listened to music in a while, either.
I looked over a few coffee mugs, faking interest. Charlie wasn't much of a coffee drinker, and neither was I. I examined a few old pots with more enthusiasm – though I wasn't ever very enthusiastic these days – imagining what I could cook for supper in them.
Some thing to the right of the pots caught my eye then. There were half a dozen of them, about the height of beer bottles, but clear with cork tops. I set down the pots, immediately losing interest. They reminded me of the kind of bottles that people in movies – though I hadn't watched a movie in months – would use to send messages in…
"How much for the bottles?" I asked Tyler in my dull voice.
"Go ahead and take them, Bella. We're about to pack up and I don't think anyone's going to buy them. You can have them." Tyler replied, closing up the box of books and reapplying the tape.
"No, let me pay for them," I argued in a weak attempt to be humble.
"Just take them, Bella, if you really want them. It'll be one less thing to stuff back into the garage," he insisted.
"Thank you," I mumbled, looking down at the squishy earth.
"Want me to bring them to your truck? They're pretty heavy," he offered.
"No thanks – I can manage," I finished, picking up the box of bottles in my arms. I struggled under the weight but did not feel pain – I was beyond feeling any other kind of pain at this point –; he was right, they were heavy.
I climbed into my truck and dropped them onto the passenger seat. Gunning the deafening engine to life, I sped away down the rain slicked roads that led home.
I hurried in the doorway, clutching the box of bottles in my arms and shielding them from the rain. The door was unlocked – Charlie was home. I dodged him and headed for the stairs.
"What 'cha got there?" He asked suspiciously. Charlie was always suspicious these days, always trying to get me to say something, trying to get me to react.
"Just some old bottles," I explained in a rush, using as little words as possible. "The Crowley's were having a yard sale."
"Oh," was all he replied. Gratefully, I hurried up the rest of the stairs and to my room. I locked the door behind me.
I didn't look around my room as I entered. Too much of it was a reminder – the window where he used to sneak in at night, the bed where he used to sing me to sleep, and the closet where I hid the stereo and my books and CDs. I sat down on the floor cross-legged, and placed the bottles in front of me.
I examined one of the bottles, turning it over in my hands and running my fingers along the smooth, cold glass. Something poked against my thigh and I shifted uncomfortably against the loose floorboard. It creaked under me.
The glass reflected the light above dimly, and the paneled floor beneath me. Something wasn't right. I peered into the glass at the spot where the floor was reflected. Something caught the light in the crack of the floorboard.
Placing the bottle back into the box with the other five, I scooted to the side and turned to examine the loose board. I ran my fingers over the edge that stuck up slightly, and found a dent that I could just fit my finger into…
Using my nails, I pried at the board until it came loose. One of my fingertips caught the sharp edge and bled slightly, but it did not hurt.
I pulled the board up and pushed it aside.
Nestled into the pink fiberglass insulation was a square cardboard shoebox. I'd never seen it before in my life and, curiously, I pulled it out into the light.
I lifted the top and let out a large breath of air in a gasp.
On the top was a folded square of paper, addressed to me. I set that aside, deciding that I would read it after I finished looking through the rest of the box. Beneath it was a blank CD case with a round silver disk inside. I opened it, but made no sense of the blank disk within.
Beneath the CD were several pictures, all facing down. I flipped the stack over, and winced at the sudden stab of pain in my chest.
It was a perfect portrait of him, a perfect replica of his face, smirking at me from Charlie's kitchen.
I was suddenly gasping for air, like I couldn't breathe. Like I couldn't fill my lungs fast enough. I felt the tears stinging at my eyes and then streaming down my face in torrents.
After all the time I'd taken to repress the memories of him – repress, but not forget – they were rushing back with painful clarity.
I placed that in the back of the stack and looked at the next picture.
It was the one of us together, standing in front of the same wall as in the last picture. His face was hard and cold in this one, with a smile that didn't quite touch his eyes. I was beside him, faking a cheerful smile just days before the end. The end of everything.
I choked back a sob and flipped to the next picture.
This one was him and Charlie sitting in front of the TV. His face was a cold mask as he pretended to watch the game that was on. Charlie had just looked up, reacting from the flash, with his mouth agape and eyes wide with surprise.
Slowly, I placed the three pictures back in the box, hands shaking.
I picked up the blank CD, and knew what it was instantly. I put it back in the box.
I looked at the white rectangles of paper – plane vouchers to Florida – and put them on top.
My clumsy fingers fumbled for the note. My eyes took in my name written in that neat, perfect hand on the front.
Dearest Bella,
If you are reading this, I'm long gone. I never meant for you to find it, but you're far more intuitive than I was led to believe. Please know that I didn't hide these things from you to hurt you, but to protect you. I wanted to protect you from the world you so didn't deserve to be threatened by.
I know what I said when I left you just minutes before I wrote this note. I know that I lied to you when I said I didn't want you. I can't even imagine how, after all the times I've told you I loved you that you could believe that I didn't so quickly. It's a lie – everything I said to you in the woods today was a lie.
I can only hope that by the time you find this, you'll have moved on. Found someone to be human with, who will never put you in harms way. He is a lucky man if he has you, and I will never stop wishing that I could be him, whoever he is.
I left you to protect you from my world, the world that you did not belong in. I left you to protect you from myself – for I cannot describe to you how many times I came so close to killing you.
Please remember that, no matter how far apart we are, no matter how long it has been since I last kissed your lips, no matter how long it's been since we've seen each other's faces, that I will never, ever stop loving you with every breath in my body. I will never forget you, and I hope that, more selfishly than I can stand, you will not forget me, either.
Remember that I will never stop loving you.
I want you to know that, when I told you I didn't love you anymore, it was a lie. I know that I should never have lied to you, but it was the only way to get you to let go. Please know that I will never stop loving you, even if you've already gotten over me.
Most importantly, I want you to know that I did not abandon you, as you may have believed.
All my love,
My tears splatter the paper, blurring the perfect writing. I crushed it to my chest and doubled over, allowing the waves of pain to pull me under. I gasped for air and choked and sobbed until finally, exhausted, I succumbed to a dreamless slumber.

Researchers Grow a Brain In a Dish 235
Hugh Pickens writes "Dr. Jeffrey H. Toney writes that a team of biomedical engineers at the University of Pittsburgh led by Henry Zeringue have managed to grow an active brain in a dish, complete with memories by culturing brain cells capable of forming networks, complete with biological signals. To produce the models, the Pitt team stamped adhesive proteins onto silicon discs. Once the proteins were cultured and dried, cultured hippocampus cells from embryonic rats were fused to the proteins and then given time to grow and connect to form a natural network. The researchers disabled the cells' inhibitory response and excited the neurons with an electrical pulse which were then able to sustain the resulting burst of network activity for up to what in neuronal time is 12 long seconds compared to the natural duration of .25 seconds. The ability of the brain to hold information 'online' long after an initiating stimulus is a hallmark of brain areas such as the prefrontal cortex. The team will next work to understand the underlying factors that govern network communication and stimulation, such as the various electrical pathways between cells and the genetic makeup of individual cells. 'This is amazing,' writes Toney. 'I wonder what the "memory" could be — could be a good subject for a science fiction story.'"

There is really no point. I should have explained.
In 1991, the New York Times did a series of articles about Manny and his high school team. I keep meaning to go back and re-read them for any cool Manny-info.
I found some PDF files of these articles and was messing around to see if I could copy part of the PDF into a jpg.
And I did. So I posted it. Just a test.

'DOA: Dead or Alive!'
'DOA: Dead or Alive!' (2007) Domestic box office: $480,813 Why the game succeeded: Would like to say that it was the fluid fighting, varied styles, impressive mix of weaponry with a bit of the supernatural thrown in and a cool battle tournament-style story line. But it might've just been the women. The movie? Game over: Even though the movie does center on the four popular main female characters in the video game, the film didn't receive much publicity or support outside of the gaming community. More popular overseas ($7,035,719), the hodge-podge cast of actors -- including Devon Aoki, Eric Roberts, Jaime Pressly and Kevin Nash -- might not have helped.

News release from Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD:
Rumors of students bringing guns to LCM High School or students from another district coming to LCM with guns are running rampant. Law enforcement officials began investigating the rumors last night and have concluded there is no truth to it. Officers are still on campus today, to assure parents of their students' safety. They are investigating Instagram and Facebook messages as well as other ways in which the rumor has been spread and who is responsible for instigating the rumor.
Campus and District administrators want to assure parents that their childrens' safety is at the top of the schools' priorities.
If any findings to the contrary are discovered on any campus, parents would be notified directly.
Sherry Combs, community relations coordinator for LC-M CISD, wrote in email correspondence, "Today we are seeing the negative effects of social media run amok. Not only is this perpetuating incorrect information and scaring parents, it is disruptive to the educational process, which is in the best interest of ALL of our students."

HOUSTON -- A Texas woman has been sentenced to 80 years in prison after being convicted of felony murder in the death of a child killed in a fire at her Houston home day care.
Jessica Tata was sentenced Tuesday. A jury convicted her last week in the death of 16-month-old Elias Castillo. She faced up to life in prison.
Prosecutors say Tata left several children alone with a pan of oil on a stove while she shopped at Target. The 2011 fire also injured three other children.
Tata's attorneys argued at trial that faulty kitchen equipment could have sparked the blaze. They said the 24-year-old made a mistake leaving the kids alone, but did not commit murder.
Tata also is charged with felony murder in the other three deaths.

If this show had been called ARE YOU HOT, Travis would have won But Benji was the better DANCER
If this show had been called ARE YOU HOT, Travis would have won But Benji was the better DANCER
Is it me or did it seem when Celine congratulated Benji that it was pre-recorded like she might have recorded the same thing for the others?
Anyways I am glad Benji won. He was by far a better dancer than Travis and so damn cute! Travis looks the best overall, but I wouldn't mind getting between both
I think Travis, based on his style, would be the best for Celine's show since he is contemporary and Benji is mainly swing.
I heard Benji turned down Celine's show which is pretty stupid since that'll look really good on a resume even if it's Celine Dion. You got Mia Michaels as the head choreographer. So Travis and Allison are probably gonna get hired.
I am so crushed, Travis was robbed. I really really wanted him to win, he deserved it.. its going to take me months to get over this.

They may be in the Big House but these guys all seem hell bent on making the most of their time. They're exercising, studying and looking to make new friends.
In the number one spot, we present Shaunte Oliver, a 31-year-old chess player who is looking for someone "to share smiles with".
Fluent in Spanish and "a lil Hebrew", Shaunte wants to know what inspires you. In second place is Cody Jonas, who asks "Are you willing to take my hand as I travel this lonely journey?".

The usual disclaimers apply but the site adds: "Even though these men and women are in prison, it doesn't mean that they are bad individuals. The majority of these inmates are fun, loving, clever, reliable, sexy and very passionate."
Arlen Bischke, who set up the site in 1988, does not recommend using the site to land a serious relationship.
In the FAQ section of the site, he admits: "The odds of everything working out are slim. There are just too many obstacles. I recommend the site for a friend/pen pal basis. It can be a lot of fun writing an inmate. I recommend not to send money to inmates.
"These men and women are inmates and are usually in prison for good reason. This is meet-an-inmate.com, not meet-a-girl-scout.com!"
The site also points out inmates do not have access to the internet, and that all correspondence is via the US Mail.
While the profiles featured do not include details of criminal convictions, that information can be found at Free Inmate Locator.

The Cubs had one of the best power arms in the First-Year Player Draft available when it came to their No. 2 overall pick Thursday.
The easy choice would have been selecting Oklahoma right-hander Jonathan Gray, whose fastball hits 100 mph, after Houston drafted Stanford right-hander Mark Appel. Adding Gray to the organization finally would give the Cubs an impact arm in a minor league system devoid of top pitching talent.
However, the Cubs were convinced University of San Diego third baseman Kris Bryant was too good to pass over. Bryant, who just completed his junior season, possesses a combination of power and patience at the plate, leading the nation in both home runs (31) and walks (66) in 62 games.
Bryant, 20, said believes he immediately could play in the majors. However, Theo Epstein's regime is notorious for sticking with a player development plan.
"I'm definitely going to leave it up to the Cubs to decide that, if we can make this deal happen," Bryant said. "I obviously think I can play in the big leagues now. I have that type of confidence, but that's not my decision."
Based on Bryant's attributes – particularly his plate discipline and impressive power – senior vice president of scouting and development Jason McLeod expects him to hit in the middle of the Cubs' lineup for years to come. The Cubs must hope that happens. Bypassing on Gray, who the Rockies drafted at No. 3, puts more pressure on Bryant to succeed.
Gray's positive test for Adderall before the draft wasn't something the Cubs expected and it forced them to do more work. McLeod explained it did not alter their plans, and ultimately it could be a blessing they didn't add a player who already has a red flag attached to his name.
"We looked pretty deep into that and, ultimately, it didn't affect how we felt about him as a player and as a person," McLeod said of Gray's positive test. "That really had no bearing on it other than we had to get more details on it and figure things out."
The last time the Cubs drafted a third baseman in the first round it didn't turn out well. Former general manager Jim Hendry and the Cubs chose Josh Vitters at No. 3 overall in the 2007 draft. Six years after being drafted, Vitters has played in only 36 big league games with a .121 batting average. He's on the disabled list at Triple-A Iowa.
"We're going to take the players that provide the most impact in the organization for the long term, and that's what played out," McLeod said. " … We're never going to go into a draft just to draft on need.
"It wasn't about pitcher over position player or position player over pitcher, we just made the pick we felt was right for this organization."
Coming into college, Bryant said he was "pull happy" at the plate. But by the end of his college career, he consistently provided power, putting up better numbers each season.
He finished with a school-record 54 home runs in three seasons at San Diego. He wouldn't speculate how long it would take to sign him. Bryant can take the heat off the Cubs if he continues to develop a patient approach, which the organization constantly has been preaching to players. Bryant labeled his ability to draw walks and read pitches "something I was blessed with."
The Cubs' pick will look better in the future if Bryant sticks at third base. Power-hitting corner infielders can be hard to find, particularly at third. For now, Bryant will have a chance to prove he can play the position.
"It kind of goes under the radar because you see the kind of hitter I am, but I take tremendous pride in my defense," Bryant said. "I'm open to playing anywhere on the field as long as I'm in the middle of the lineup."

Tom Schlachter and Tony Knight visit during the reception for The Art of Robert Heindel at the Sur St. Clair Gallery, July 18, 2012. Mr. Knight recently discussed the fiscal cliff with White House council members.
Enlarge | Buy This Image
Tony Knight wasn't exactly sure what to make of a recent invitation to participate in a White House Business Council telephone conference call about the approaching fiscal cliff.
He considered that the invite could be a scam. But, the chief executive officer of Perrysburg-based New Waste Concepts, Inc. was intrigued and registered for the call. On Wednesday, he dialed the number at the appointed time, punched in the proper code, and waited for clearance. As promised in the invitation, Mr. Knight listened as two White House administration officials spoke with about 19 business leaders from around the country regarding one of the biggest, post-election, headline-grabbing topics--the fiscal cliff.
"... (T)he discussion is really about revenue and expense-- (a) pretty simple concept," said Mr. Knight, 64. "What the president is trying to do is say, 'We need a balanced approach.' The issue is we don't really know what the full side of the balance is."
A collision with the so-called fiscal cliff could occur at year's end unless President Barack Obama and Congress compromise on upcoming, across-the-board tax increases. The President wants to keep tax rates at current levels for households earning less than $250,000 and has called for a tax increase for those earning more. His plan to reduce the deficit would increase tax revenue by about $1.5 trillion and cut spending by a similar amount over 10 years.
Republicans have opposed plans to raise tax rates on the wealthy, contending a hike would hit some businesses and crimp the economy. They have urged tax code changes to eliminate loopholes that primarily benefit the wealthy.
Mr. Knight, who voted for Mitt Romney, said a three-prong approach would help avoid the cliff. That includes tax increases, spending reductions, and tax code simplification to eliminate loopholes.
"Tax reform has got to be a big, big part of this," he said. "We are going to have to raise taxes on the wealthy; we just have to figure out how we are going to decrease the cost of government."
The President's plan doesn't provide enough details, such as defining where revenues and reductions will come from, Mr. Knight said.
A White House spokesman did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
The telephone conference appeared focused on rallying business support for the President's plan, Mr. Knight said. He believes he was asked to join the call because New Waste Concepts, which manufactures environmental cleanup and control products, was among the 2012 recipients of the President's "E" Award for Exports. The award recognizes those who increase U.S. exports.

So, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy at Real Madrid, again. Where can he go to rediscover his bonhomie?
Spanish newspaper AS has run a report claiming the former Manchester United star is closer to leaving at the end of the season than renewing his deal with Real Madrid.
It claims this latest bout follows on from Ronaldo's admission a few weeks ago that he was not happy with his situation at the Santiago Bernabeu, though the reasons around this apparent discontent were secretive.
So, how can you make Cristiano Ronaldo happy, short of rigging the Ballon d'Or in favour of him over Lionel Messi?
GMF came up with a number of possible solutions to the Portugal captain's woes; here they are…
Join the French revolution
PSG have already splashed out major amounts on marquee stars to try and entice a market to the confoundedly barren football land of Paris, one of the world's biggest cities.
The new owners also have major stakes in the Al Jazeera television network and they appear desperate to have some kind of presence on the European stage; namely, the Champions League.
Man of the moment, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has led them to the summit of Ligue 1, but he does not have quite the same attraction as Cristiano Ronaldo. PSG can pay Ronaldo the astronomical wages it would require for him to accept such a step down in class and he could become the true flagship of a new power in world football.
He is the talisman of the Real Madrid side, but that is a club with a heritage so rich no one player could make a dent on, in terms of personnel reputation and legacy being synonymous with a club's name. PSG, meanwhile, are waiting for a legend to propel them to greatness.
Become re-United with his "father"
Ronaldo recently gave an interview to CNN where he admitted to missing his former manager at Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson, stating the Scot to be "like a father" to him.
Ferguson was the man responsible for nurturing such a precocious and mercurial talent into one of the two best players in world football. A man who commanded a world record £80million transfer fee, who broke numerous records with Real Madrid and has become a powerhouse of the modern game.
A return to United seems unlikely, but the openness with which he has recently lamented the loss of Ferguson's influence suggest he may not be averse to a return to Old Trafford – the Red Devils boss is hardly going to join Madrid.
Signing for Manchester City would likely get him a bigger salary, but you feel he would pass up any opportunity to travel to the other side of his former city after hearing the affection he evidently feels for Ferguson.
Real Madrid, show him the money…or whatever it is he wants
Why is Cristiano Ronaldo unhappy at Real Madrid? How can a club the stature of the Primera Division champions have been so remiss allowed such a player recede into discontent.
Even a man with the ego of Jose Mourinho could do nothing but admit the superstar of the Santiago Bernabeu is the key component to the current Madrid era.
On the pitch, Real's toppling of Barcelona last season was centred around Ronaldo's incredible scoring record – not just the volume, but the numerous key goals in pressure situations.
Off the pitch, Ronaldo's name is selling the one selling the shirts around the world; Ronaldo's rivalry with Lionel Messi is drawing in the television viewers, and so the lucrative broadcasting deals; it is Ronaldo's unhappiness that leads to talks of crisis and unrest at the club.
While it is important for a club not to be held to ransom by any player, especially a club with history as rich as Real's, but occasionally special players need special treatment.
The Real Madrid hierarchy have a player on their books that, along with Messi, is taking record-breaking to new heights and does not look like stopping any time soon – losing him through inaction would be inexcusable incompetence.

Burleson was cleared for contact and practiced in full Thursday and Friday. He was listed as probable to play on Friday's injury report.
"When he went out he was our leading receiver at the time," offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said of Burleson this week. "On top of his ability to make plays for us and lead our group, he was having a very productive year, one of his better years too. Having him back in there is the reliability factor and the confidence the quarterback has in him is big."
Burleson hasn't played since breaking his forearm Sept. 24 in a car wreck.

Cultivation ad 23000? The evidence is certainly suggestive. But an example of dead-end as there is certainly no evidence that selection for domestication traits continued, or that cultivation spread and agirculture developed. A provocative and important study to think about.... deserved a full treatment is due course

Father. Husband. Scoutmaster.
That a nice looking rig but i prefer something with a full length sock for both me and my hammock in my experience with the tropics and mosquitos you generally sleep in minimal if any clothing at all and no sleeping bag etc so the mozzies, sand flys, midges and particularly march flys will bite straight through the light hammock material and into you. I dunno what people do in the Darien Gap in regards to this? In the time i spent in the Panamanian rainforest the biting insects were just as bad I imagine thats why most of the Kuna Yala population lives more so on the island and the coast line not so much inland. I have slept in rainforests, mangrove swamps and fresh water swamp areas here and its enough to drive you mad.
Thanks again and keep the info coming its all great stuff!
Maybe contact papasmurf at dream hammock, he does bug socks as well, I think the tulle one weighs only 2oz, and he does custom jobs as well, im sure he could probably match the wwm weight?
Don't use tulle for the bugnet the stuff genuinely doesn't hold up very well over time.
The only person i ever saw get there ear cut during a haircut was my father just prior to saying to my mother "stop asking question and just cut my bloody hair"
I guess we both have mummy and daddy issues...
Love your gear Papa Smurf beautifully designed and manufactured stuff just not "exactly" what I am after. While I have your attention how much would it sting me for a full length bug net? Made of something light yet durable possibly like what you use in the Darrien UL. Feel free to pm me.
Take it easy and happy hanging!
I love my Bias WWM. Very light and feels nice. I added my own DIY attached bug net with nano noseeum. With Amsteel whoopies and straps with Bias carbon toggles the whole package is 16.3oz.

This is a quick step by step tutorial of how to make a Social Networking Website like Facebook in TEN Minutes.
Step 1.) To Begin with, you need to have a web hosting account. You can get a free hosting account (list of free web hosts) but the problem with these hosts is that they have forced ads or bad uptime or unnecessary stuff required. Make sure the free host gives you FTP access and at least one MySQL Database and PHP support. I recommend you to buy a HostGator hosting account to begin with as it has all things required. Their Hatchling plan is superbly cheap (less than $4 a month) and use a coupon for more discount.
Step 2.) Get a domain too if you've bought hosting and configure domain with the hosting account. After all that has been done you will have to install WordPress. There are many ways of installing WordPress. If you've got Cpanel, then you can install WordPress with one click installer. If not, you will have to manually do that. Here's how to do that too. Make sure you install that in the root directory of your hosting account.
Step 3.) After you have done that, you will have to log into your WordPress Blog. Now go to Plugins >> Add New. Type in "BuddyPress" and install that plugin. If you want to manually install it, here's the link to the plugin.
Step 4.) Activate the Plugin.
Step 5.) Now go to Manage Themes and activate the Buddypress Default Theme.
Step 6.) You're half way through. Now Few more things and you are there! On your WordPress Dashboard, go to General Settings and tick mark Anyone can Register option.
Step 7.) Now go to Profile Field setup and add the fields to be filled by users when signing up (stuff like Age, Website, Gender, Interests, bla bla).
Step 8.) You've got loads of features already. If you want to add more features like Photo Albums, Videos, Chat, you can install plugins to do that. (Here's a complete list).
Step 9.) If you are annoyed with the current design, you can use a new theme to match your Social Network. A full list of Buddypress Compatible themes.
Step 10.) All set to go! An Example of a working website is testbp.org. You have made something like this!

Freer|Sackler Galleries, Smithsonian's Museums of Asian Art
1050 Independence Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20560
United States
The first U.S. exhibition devoted entirely to the nomadic culture of ancient Kazakhstan makes its Washington, D.C., debut Aug. 11 at the Smithsonian's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery.
"Nomads and Networks: The Ancient Art and Culture of Kazakhstan," on view through Nov. 12, dispels the notion that nomadic societies were less developed than sedentary ones. More than 150 objects of gold, horn, precious gems, and organic materials, most excavated within the past 15 years, from four major national museums in Kazakhstan reveal a powerful and highly sophisticated culture with strategic migratory routes and active networks of communication and exchange.
This exhibition has been organized by the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University in collaboration with the Central State Museum, the Presidential Center of Culture, the A. Kh. Margulan Institute of Archaeology, the Museum of Archaeology, and the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakshtan to the United States. The exhibition was made possible through the support of the Leon Levy Foundation.

The historic Grand Junction landmark is on pace to under-go a large construction upgrade, officials are hoping the remodel will help shine up a downtown gem. A cornerstone to the community here in Grand Junction, the 91 year-old Avalon Theatre, where a big upgrade is just about to be in the works to keep residents streaming in on weekend nights.
It is not just the new seats or additions officials say will breathe new life into the Avalon, it's the memories which will be made in the building, binding Grand Junction residents together for generations to come, just as this historic building has for nearly a century.
Pamela McGurk, a resident of Grand Junction, said, "we would have popcorn and see those wonderful matinees and it was so safe and so small town, parents wouldn't come, and it was one of my best memories of fun things to do in my childhood."
But the new upgrades which need to be done to help preserve the Avalon require deep pockets, and it's an investment the Avalon Theatre Foundation director Robin Brown said will benefit the city in the long run.
"Yes it is a lot of money in this economy to put into a theatre, but the economic benefits of putting money into the theatre far outweigh the sum of money that is initially being put into the theatre."
Putting all this money into the Avalon is projected to bring growth opportunities for the theatre, and ultimately downtown businesses.
"Doubling the stage size, it does a lot of things; it brings larger acts, more space for Broadway shows we want to get." Brown said.
"So you can have two events going on simultaneously, two separate lobbies, two separate events, more user nights, and more ticket sales" Brown said.
Currently there just aren't enough seats to attract big acts, the magic number is above 1000 seats said Robin Brown.
"This puts us at 1150 seats as so that gets us into that next bracket that will capture larger performances that will bring in acts that haven't been coming through"
Foundation officials hope the chance to attract bigger acts will build community excitement and support for the upgrade, making for lifetime memories to be enjoyed by residents like Pamela McGurk and her family.
"So I really enjoy that it is still here, renamed, being preserved, and I think it is really important, so I'm very supportive of that and I have been using it since I've been here, when it has things available."
The total construction is slated for 16 million dollars, currently the project has 7 million in the bank to get the hammers swinging starting in May.
The Avalon foundation is reviving an old fundraising effort the building as seen before.
You can take part in the 'take a seat' program, and donate enough money to buy a new seat,
You'll get a plaque with your name on that seat.
There are several other ways to get involved in fundraising efforts for the construction project as well, you can know more about them by visiting our web channel kkco11news.com where we have also posted a link to the Avalon foundation web site.

You're talking about, like, someone sliced up a corn cob and tossed the chunks in soup? I am DYING to know the answer to that. I've run into that a few times lately and have no idea. (FWIW, I sort of nibbled some of the kernels off the cob while the whole thing was in my spoon, but that can't be correct.)

School year must be 180 days
School was also divided into houses and you could earn points for your house with good school work throughout the year. You also competed on house teams for different sports and for sports day. Kind of like Harry Potter In high school they were very keen on houses the colour of the stripe in your tie showed which house you were in. As well as a head teacher for the school there were heads of house and organised events where pupils could raise money for the chosen house charity. each house was almost a school within a school. The idea was to help pupils adjust to attending such a big school (the biggest in the area) as some of the schools that fed into it were 1/8 the size it could be very intimidating.is the idea of houses a UK only one?

Rags and Patches
We've seen a lot of suit fabrics, but we've never seen them quite like this.
This bedspread was made from sewing together old suit fabrics, so if you've ever felt the need to sleep under Italy's finest threads, you just got your chance. The full set includes a bed cover, a duvet cover and a pair of pillowcases, and they only have as much fabric as they can scrounge up, so each piece is one of a kind. Of course, that also means a single set will run you upwards of three grand, but it's not too much more than you'd pay Paul Smith for a few suits.

Raises meal prices
The Mexico Board of Education met in executive session on Feb. 19 to discuss the re-hiring of district personnel and staff. Of the 14 personnel and staff voted on, 13 were offered new contracts for the 2013-2014 school year.
According to minutes from the Feb. 19 Executive Session, Board President Dr. Peter Perll made the motion to rehire Hart Career Center Director Dr. Mickie Shank, and the motion failed 3-4-0 on a roll call vote.
Board members in favor of Shank's rehire were: Beverly Borgeson, Robby Miller and Dr. Perll. Those against were: Pat Maguire, Beverly MacFarlane, Dr. Elwood Rice and Dustin Pascoe.
Following is the list of personnel and staff approved for re-hire. All received unanimous votes:
• Dr. Terry Robinson (Mexico High School principal)
• Tony Chance (district business manager)
• Ed Costley (Mexico Middle School assistant principal)
• Jeff Anderson (Mexico High School athletic director)
• Brad Ellebracht (MHS assistant principal)
• Jenn Kraft (director of technology)
• Curt Jackson (transportation director)
• Chris Denham (director of student services – Mexico Education Center and Early Childhood Center)
• Mitch Ridgway (director of transportation)
• Deb Haag (Mexico Middle School principal)
• Holly Pashia (Hawthorne Elementary principal)
• Christine Harper (Eugene Field principal)
• Dr. Kerri Criner (McMillan Elementary principal)
Dr. Perll made the motion to adjourn the meeting and Maguire seconded the motion that carried 7-0-0.
The executive session adjourned at 10:58 p.m.
School meal prices set to increase
Lunch and breakfast prices at Mexico Public Schools will increase next school year. The new costs were presented at the Feb. 19 Board of Education meeting, reflecting slight increases on breakfast and lunch costs.
The district's finance department presented the potential increases. The cost increase stems from a 2011 federal requirement for schools to gradually increase their lunch prices due to the Equity in School Lunch Pricing provision of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
For 2013-2014, the USDA is requiring prices be adjusted up 4.93 percent rounded down to the nearest five cents.
This adjustment will continue to be calculated every year (School Food Service will provide the percentage required annually). The goal is for the charge for a full-price meal to be at least the difference between the federal reimbursement for a free meal and the federal reimbursement for a full price meal. Currently those prices are: $2.88 (free) - .29 (full) = $2.59 (difference).
Mexico School District meal pricing for the 2013-2014 school year will be as follows:
• Elementary schools
2012-13 full-price is $1.85
Calculations for the new proposal: ($1.85 x 4.93% = 0.0912 rounded down to the nearest 5 cents is a $0.05 increase or $1.90 per meal.)
• High School and middle school
Full price student lunch, 2012-13 full-price is $2.20.
Calculations for the new proposal: ($2.20 x 4.93% = 0.0912 rounded down to the nearest 5 cents is a $0.10 increase or $2.20 per meal.)
• High school, middle school and elementary schools student breakfast
For the 2013-14 school year is $1.30.
A price history for the district shows the elementary, middle and high school student lunch prices in the 2005-2006 school year were $1.50, $1.75 and $1 for breakfast respectively. The board approved the increases with a 7-0 vote.

It is beginning to seem like you are advertising products on here, especially those from American Apparel. This may, or may not, be the case, and at this point in time it isn't affecting your blog, however i fear that it could hinder your blog in the future which would be a shame.
Nevertheless, great outfit, lovely photos, cute boy. Keep it up the way it is ;)

From the Chicago Tribune website:
Beckman to Illinois is now official.
Don't know much about the Rockets, but they scored a bunch of points
I think this is a good hire for the Illini...should put some butts in the seats at least
You're expecting a lot out of Illinois fans.
I think if you say to fans, we will outscore our opponents and every game has the possibility to go over 75 total points, people might be interested
If he can cycle through 7-5, 7-5, 9-3 on a 3 year rotation he could be the best coach at Illinois in generations
Actually all of his assistant positions have been defensive positions. DC at Bowling Green, CB coach at OSU, and DC at Ok State.
Kinda funny on some level, RR brought the spread to michigan and the big ten. now we are going back to some sort of "manball" west coast style offence(in some way or fashion). and the rest of the big ten teams with openings are going with spread coaches.
this former RR guy is okay with that, especially if--as some have pointed out--all your manball dudes (talking to you, Ohio) are ourz.
any more news on Dan Mullen to Penn State?
It is truly amazing the quality coaches The University of Toledo has pumped out in the last 20 years. Pinkle, Saban and now Beckman. Than you take a look at BG, with Gary Blackney and Meyer. The MAC is truly a great stepping stone to the major college football coaching careers.
Fickell should really go get his chops there as opposed to being Urban's bag man
But that is just me, maybe the guy is happy just chilling in Columbus
Don't forget Brian Kelly at CMU.
get back to me in a few years on him, I think the jury is still out
OK, but if we're counting Beckman, than we should count Kelly. Kelly won the Big East at UC after leaving the MAC, that's nothing to scoff at.
Not really sure winning the Big Easy, oops I mean Big East post RR at WVU would be constituted as a "nothing to scoff at" achievement.
True, we will see how well he does at Illinois.
True I forgot about Kelly, and Hoke, Bo and Ara Parsegean (I think that is how you spell his name.)
turned out a few, too.
edit -- ntMU
He should keep their DC. He's pretty good. If they can keep the D quality up while upgrading the general coaching and offense, they could be pretty good down the road. And then lose the HC to a bigger school.
At first glance this looks like a pretty solid hire for Illinois. I thought they might have wanted Leach at first, but since that ship sailed I think this is as good of a hire as you can get (yes even better than Sumlin).
I'm a sad panda today, Becks was a great coach at UT. He was really down to earth and would just chill in the union just to talk to kids and get them excited. Toledo fans are finicky (students that is) when something is going good they will show up like we are a top 10 team, When things are going bad (mens basketball the last 4 years) High school games get more attendance. This whole year, every football game was packed and that says a lot about a MAC school. It was great the excitement he brought back to Toledo. He recruits like a beast too. O and unlike the zooker he can coach. For all of those people that are like he gave up a lot of points.. His entire defense is freshman and sophomores, sound fimilar?
The Sun-Times article, this morning, states that Beckman doesn't recruit Chicago very well. That's where most of Illinois' (good) players come from (or St. Louis area). So, it'll be interesting to see what in-roads he makes (if he makes any at all). I wouldn't be surprised if other B1G schools make Chicago (and surrounding suburbs) a prime target. Although, I can't say that Zook made a big impact in the Chicago area (and I live here).
I don't know about Chicago, but Zook recruited well wherever he coached. The amount of NFL talent on Illinois the last few years has been stunning, given theri lack of success. I assume the new boy will recruit Chicago better now that he's coaching IL. premier college team instead of a MAC school, though.
Don't know how many chicago kids would get pumped up to go to Toledo
If I was a kid from Chicago I would rather go to NIU than Toledo, maybe even Western
for the last 10 years Toledo has had a presence in Chicago. Toledo put on a marketing blitz in the large cities in the midwest the last few years. (morely for students though) A lot of our basketball players over the years are from their and many football players under amstutz. Becks liked the Fla region but he owned the State of Ohio when it came to MAC level talent. He was a guy that I was hoping would fly under the radar enough that he would stay in Toledo for another year and then get a chance at UC after Jones leaves next year ( all hypothetical)
This is funny. Didn't he just sign an extension with Toledo this year? Afterwards he was talking about how it was important to him to show recruits his dedication to this program and how he was going to be in Toledo long term.
That was then.....
This is now.
Both Toledo fans are going to be ticked off when they hear about this.
yeah those two toledo fans that lead the mac in attendance this year.. bigger fan base then you think buddy but nice try at humor
Since you took that so hard, I was curious enough to look up Toledo's attendance numbers. It turns out that Toledo averaged a whopping 19,333 fans per game a year ago, and I'm sure that figure included some free giveaways.
Verdict: I stand by my snarky remark.
503 error.
504 fun!
I can't imagine any Toledo fan thinks their coach would NOT bolt for a B1G gig if they came calling. Its a reality of being a fan of a place like that.
My god Toledo gave up 60 plus points in regulation in consecutive home games this season.

Thanks for the effor RWX.
Keep us in the news.
1) You would need to contact the individual translators in order to use their translation, and this itself would be a big task.
2) You should get an English Lit major with chinese background to quarterback the editing process. The Trilogy by itself was translated to an acceptable standard, but there are clear unevenness in the quality and tone of the respective portion of the translation. To try to improve this would need a major effort as well.
3) The legal negotiations are potentially tricky with royalties issues for all the respective translator(s). Please ensure that they are included in the process.
Good Luck.

Submission + - Do Tech Entrepreneurs Need to Know How to Code? (wsj.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Learning to write code has become something of a trendy thing to do. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said he intends to learn code this year. Estonia has recently announced a scheme with the aim of getting every 6-year-old in the Baltic state to learn programming skills. The demand has spawned a number of start-ups offering coding lessons. General Assembly, which teaches off-line courses, has recently opened up in London and is recruiting ahead of a launch in Berlin. On-line education site Codecademy landed $10 million to expand from its home base in New York. Zach Simms, the 22-year-old co-founder, said in an earlier interview with The Wall Street Journal that not everyone has to learn to code, but everybody "needs to learn the notions of algorithms, realizing what you can use code for." But do they?
