New roof OK'd for
fiscal court annex
Just three years after spending $35,000 to fix a leaking roof, the fiscal court last Tuesday agreed to spend $62,000 to fix it again, this time in hopes that it won't continue to leak.
The roof covers the fiscal court annex on Main Street, including the property value administrator's office.
Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway said it has gotten so bad that when PVA employees leave for the weekend, they are forced to cover all of their equipment with plastic in case it rains.

Abu Dhabi GP 2010
Saturday Team Quotes
Lewis Hamilton (2nd, 1:39.425): "I'm absolutely delighted - this is my best qualifying performance since Spa, and I pushed as hard as I could and got everything and more out of the car. To be just three-hundredths off the fastest Red Bull is extremely good news for the team. We've worked incredibly hard all year, but we couldn't quite catch them up quickly enough. Even so, to be right behind the one on pole - and have both Ferraris behind - is a great achievement. On the grid tomorrow, I don't have to worry about who's around me - they all have to worry about who's around them! I've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. It's the other drivers who'll have to worry; I don't have to be cautious at all in the race. Perhaps they need to think about that... Both Jenson and I qualified well today, so this is good news for us in the battle for second place in the constructors' world championship. I'd love for us to finish one-two tomorrow - that would be a real high for the whole team. I'm not focusing on winning the drivers' title; I'm just focusing on winning this race."
Jenson Button (4th, 1:39.823): "We've been tweaking the car all weekend, and we made a big leap from where we were yesterday, so I'm happy with the way things improved. Qualifying was also very good. I'd been struggling with a major brake vibration issue during Q1, but it got better through Q2 and Q3. The vibration didn't help my front locking issues, but at least they were better than I'd had in the past couple of races. I made a mistake and ran wide on my last lap, so it's a little disappointing to be starting fourth because I could have been even higher, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow's race. All the cars appear to be reasonably close, so it should be a good battle. My aim is to get as many points as I can tomorrow - we want to secure second place in the constructors' world championship, and that'll be our aim for tomorrow."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Both Lewis and Jenson drove superbly in qualifying today, and will line up second and fourth on tomorrow's grid as a result. In fact Lewis missed out on bagging pole position by just three-hundredths of a second - and inevitably you're always just a smidgen disappointed when it's as close as that at the front. Nevertheless, his goal tomorrow will be a unilateral one: to score 25 world championship points. He's well placed to do just that - and, as ever, he'll be pushing just as hard as he knows how. He'll have a competitive race car tomorrow, and in our view he'll be in decent shape to deliver the win we need. Jenson, too, is well placed to score heavily, and thereby consolidate Vodafone McLaren Mercedes's second place in the constructors' world championship. So I reckon tomorrow has all the ingredients to be one of the most thrilling days in the history of Formula 1, and I'm sure that trackside spectators and TV viewers alike will be on the edges of their seats during what promises to be a truly dramatic sporting occasion."
Mercedes GP
Michael Schumacher (8th, 1:40.516): "I didn't have the best last lap in Q3 today unfortunately as I didn't quite get the sectors together. That was a shame because I could have ended up one or even two positions higher. However this gives me room to improve for tomorrow and that will be my target for the race. We've had a pretty straightforward weekend at this fantastic venue. I really enjoy driving here, the atmosphere is great and driving from day into night is very special. It's a big spectacle and I hope the race adds to it."
Nico Rosberg (9th, 1:40.589): "The speed was there today, however unfortunately only on the hard tyre, so it's disappointing to be starting from ninth place on the grid. For our race strategy, I had to run the options in Q3 and I just struggled with them all the way through qualifying."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "We made very solid progress into Q3 today with the car looking pretty reasonable throughout qualifying. However we were much better on the prime tyre with both Nico and Michael struggling on the option in Q3. This gives us reason to be optimistic in the race tomorrow when we should be on the right strategy. Overall we're in a reasonable position."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "In the first two qualifying sessions, our lap times looked pretty strong on the harder prime tyre. We knew that the option tyre would probably cost us lap time in Q3 but it was still the right decision to use them. The little handicap today will hopefully help us tomorrow when we aim to improve on our grid positions during the race tomorrow."
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st, 1:39.394): "I'm happy - it was a great lap and I'm proud of it. It was a very tight qualifying session and it's even more thrilling when you know there's tension going into it and you know 'this is it'. We only did one run in Q3, so only one chance. We probably did more laps than the others, but we only used one set of tyres. Looking back I was surprised by how much the circuit ramped up at the end and maybe it would have been better to do two runs, but what we did was enough for pole. The car was fantastic today, much better than yesterday evening, so I think we made a step forward. I think we achieved the maximum we could today. Hopefully we will have a good start tomorrow and a good first lap and then it's a long race from there - so let's see what we can do."
Mark Webber (5th, 1:39.925): "I'm not rapped to be fifth on the grid, it's disappointing, but there's still a long way to go tomorrow - the fat lady hasn't sung yet. I would like to have been further up, but I couldn't get the pace. We need to be there at the end of tomorrow's race and a lot can still happen; I haven't helped things today, but the Championship's not decided today. I didn't seem to have the grip the other guys had and I need to have a look where I was losing time. We will just have to do the best job we can tomorrow, it's a long race - we're still in the hunt and that's the main thing."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "That was a very exciting last session; Sebastian completed an excellent lap on his second timed to get pole. It was always going to a tricky choice with how many laps to do in the last session and both drivers decided that they wanted to do more than two. It was ultimately the choice of Sebastian and Mark to do three and four laps respectively. Mark ended up P5 unfortunately today and so is going to need a good start and a good race tomorrow. Today has set up a scintillating grid for the final race of the year."
Fabrice Lom, Renault: "It's the last qualifying of the year, so it's time to do some statistics: First, it's our 15th pole, so we have equalled the world record of pole positions achieved by a team in one year. And secondly, the Red Bull drivers are the only two to get through to Q3 at every race this year. To talk about today, as a team we had our glory when we won the Constructors' World Championship at the last race, and now it's down to the two men. We will let them battle while trying to do the best job possible to not interfere with their performance. Today Seb won the qualifying battle - he's first and Mark is fifth. Now it's down to the race tomorrow, I think it will be very interesting to watch."
Fernando Alonso (3rd, 1:39.792): "After a good Friday, during which we worked on the set-up, today along came a good Saturday, in which we secured a good grid position, especially in terms of where our main title rival finds himself on the grid. Now, we need one more day at this level and that should bring us closer to our objective. It was an important qualifying session, but you cannot call it decisive, because the race is tomorrow. Reliability and team work will make the difference, as is usually the case. The start? We will see what happens in first ten or twenty metres and then decide if it will be best to attack or wiser to defend. We have to keep in the mind that the world championship definitely does not get won at the first corner, but there is a chance of losing it there. We knew we could expect a difficult weekend, with Red Bull being strong as ever and McLaren at a very high level. Having only Vettel ahead of me, rather than both Red Bulls is positive. It was a very closely contested session, with the order changing all the time. Our first run in Q3 was not the best, because we had problems with traffic, but we knew we had the potential to do better and that's how it turned out: I started the lap, also thinking about saving the tyres for the final sector so as to avoid the risk of getting there and finding myself in trouble. I am confident for tomorrow but I want to repeat one more time that, however it ends up tomorrow afternoon, it has been a great year for me at Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, where we enjoy a very special atmosphere together."
Felipe Massa (6th, 1:40.202): "On my last out lap, I came up behind so much traffic and it was all very confusing, especially as Hamilton, who was ahead of me, had slowed a lot at Turn 14. At the end of the session, I was called to the Stewards to discuss this incident and also the one with Hamilton again in Q2: this sort of thing can happen as can be seen from the fact that no action was taken.I reached the exit of the final corner, I saw the red light and, instinctively, I thought I had not got there in time to do the flying lap. In fact, I had made it, but I did not push immediately as hard as I could have done, so I came back to the pits when I realised I would not have improved my time. It's a real shame because I could definitely have done better and therefore started further up the grid. Tomorrow, I am expecting a very hard fought battle between three teams - us, McLaren and Red Bull - who are all very much on the pace. I will try to make up some places at the start and then to do the maximum for the team. However, in terms of performance, I think the situation is better than we could have expected. Fernando starts with a couple of aces to play, which in Poker usually signifies a strong hand."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "Overall, we can claim to be satisfied with this result, especially in terms of the Drivers' classification. Fernando did a great lap on his final run, while unfortunately, Felipe had so much traffic on his out lap that he was not in the best of shapes when starting his final timed lap, so that he even decided to abort it and pit early. Tomorrow we can expect a very long and difficult race. The key parameters will be the same as always - reliability, the start, strategy, team work and the drivers' ability at the wheel - but more than ever before, tomorrow afternoon, the main thing will be to keep a cool head. We have to stay concentrated on our work: if we can put together another perfect day, then we will have the opportunity to reach the target we have set our sights on."
Chris Dyer: "A great qualifying from Fernando, which puts in a strong position for tomorrow's race. I knew the Red Bulls were very quick and to manage to get ahead of Webber is really a nice result. We saw various strategies adopted in qualifying, but I think the one that we and McLaren adopted paid off best. Starting from third with Mark fifth is definitely positive in terms of the championship. A shame for Felipe, who was unable to get a second run in Q3. Considering the potential at his disposal, he could have ended up further up the grid. As usual, the start will be very important but here, more than elsewhere, it will be interesting to monitor the behaviour of the soft tyre in the first part of the race, given that degradation seems higher than we have seen at other tracks."
Rubens Barrichello (7th, 1:40.203): "It was a great qualifying, especially considering where we were yesterday. On Friday we were struggling a little, but we have improved the car in every aspect and I am just delighted with the outcome today. Seventh is better than I expected and I hope we can maintain this tomorrow. Of course tomorrow is another day, but my engineers and I have good momentum together this weekend, so I am very positive."
Nico Hulkenberg (15th, 1:41.418): "To begin with, Rubens and I were quite evenly matched but I ended up in P15 while Rubens made it into the top ten. In Q1 everything was fine, with the prime tyre working well. We then selected the option for Q2 and everything changed. My car suddenly behaved very unexpectedly, I lost balance and grip and the car was just sliding around all over the place. It was very strange and we will be looking into it tonight. With a good start, we could gain some places and end up with a more positive result tomorrow."
Patrick Head, Director of Engineering: "It was a great qualifying from Rubens. Together with his engineer, he extracted the very best out of the car this afternoon and we'll be looking for good performance in the race. Nico had shown the potential needed to make it into Q3, but something caused understeer in the slow corners in his final set of tyres. Both drivers can run a good race tomorrow and our intention is to maintain position in the constructors' championship."
Vitaly Petrov (10th, 1:40.901): "The car has felt pretty good all weekend for me. We have made progress in each session, especially with the feel of the brakes, which is very important at this circuit, and it felt like all the parts of the package were working well today. I have been running in the top ten most of the weekend, and it was nice to deliver this potential in qualifying. Looking ahead to the race, it will be a very tough one for the tyres, and we need to think carefully about using the right strategy to cope with this."
Robert Kubica (11th, 1:40.780): "I have been struggling with the car since yesterday and we simply didn't manage to get on top of the issues, especially for qualifying. The rear of the car was sliding a lot this evening, so it was hard to get on the power early enough to set a good lap time. I tried everything, I was sideways in a lot of corners, but that's how it was today. It's disappointing to miss out on the top ten, but it's also the first time this year that I have had a free tyre choice for Sunday - and we will have to see if we can make this into an advantage for tomorrow. The season is still not over, and we will try to finish it with some more points."
Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "We cannot be satisfied to line up tenth and 11th on the grid: we set our sights higher than this. Robert tried everything he could in qualifying, but he struggled with low grip and an oversteer balance that prevented him from doing any better. As for Vitaly, it's good to see him in Q3 again, but he made a mistake on his final run and could have gone even quicker. We must now turn our attention to tomorrow afternoon's race, and aim to conclude our season with a double points finish."
Alan Permane, Chief Race Engineer: "This was not our best qualifying effort of the year. Robert was not comfortable with the car in third practice, and the changes we made before qualifying failed to improve the situation. He was suffering from an overall lack of grip, and this is why he missed out on Q3. Vitaly had a reasonable day, qualifying in the top ten for the second race in a row. He was generally happy with the car and has steadily improved throughout the weekend. We must aim to get both cars into the points tomorrow, and we are obviously in a position where we can make a free tyre choice with Robert; we will be looking closely at what we think will be best for the race."
Force India-Mercedes
Adrian Sutil (13th, 1:40.914): "I am pleased with how qualifying went for us. It was not easy in the last few races but it was a clean lap today, close to the top ten and it puts us in a strong position for the race. The VJM03 worked very well and the balance was good - we could even do three laps on the soft tyre, which is unusual in qualifying. We finished very close to the top ten and now the clear goal is to break into the points. I am convinced we can get up there based on the performance throughout the season - we need a good start and strategy and a race that comes to us. It's not easy but we will push and do our best. We need some points, that's absolutely the main goal."
Vitantonio Liuzzi (16th, 1:41.642): "We were in good shape today. We didn't have enough for Q3 but we've shown a step in performance from the previous races. The balance was good and with the second set of tyres it was getting better and better. Unfortunately I got some traffic with Petrov on my last lap in the last sector and lost about three tenths, which cost us at least a position or two. We do know though that the car is quick and I think we are in good shape and for the race tomorrow."
Dr. Vijay Mallya, Team Principal: "A very good performance from the team today. Last year we struggled to get out of Q1 and today we were just under three tenths from Q3, showing just how much we have improved over the past 12 months. It also demonstrates just how hard everyone has worked and is a real fillip going into tomorrow's race. We are in a good position to get into the points, our race pace has been very strong and we're all hungry to get back into sixth again. If we can finish the season with only teams who have previously won the constructors' championship ahead of us it's going to be the icing on the cake for what's been a great season for us so far."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Jaime Alguersuari (17th, 1:41.738): "It was very difficult today to make the step from Q1 to Q2, but in the end I think I got a good lap, improving by a tenth. I would say we were not as quick as we expected to be here and could not really attack the Saubers and Force Indias. Therefore we tried running with less downforce to be faster down the straight, but it made Sector 3 very difficult and I had too much oversteer, which meant I could not attack the track. As for the race, I think that right from Friday the situation here was clear. This is the sort of race where you can have a lot of crashes and retirements, which could give us a chance to get into the points if we stay out of trouble and do something good with the tyre strategy. Tomorrow, we have nothing to lose, so I will start the race in an aggressive fashion and then see where that takes us."
Sebastien Buemi (18th, 1:41.824): "I lost quite a bit of time at Turn 19, as I just brushed the wall on the exit to it, which cost me three tenths and a place in Q2, so I cannot be happy with the way the session went. It was ironic that it was my team-mate who knocked me out of Q2, but now we need to focus on the race and the car's performance has not been too bad overall in free practice, so I will be trying my best as usual to get the very most out of the package for the final time this season."
Giorgio Ascanelli, Technical Director: "We seem to have been around 17th and 18th most of the weekend, so you could say the qualifying result was not surprising. I did actually think we could have pipped Tonio (Liuzzi) at the last moment, but it did not work out that way. At the time that we took the decision to do longer runs on the Prime tyre, it seemed like the correct choice, but I suppose that with full hindsight you could say it was the wrong choice as Tonio outqualified us doing two laps on the softer Option. So I was wrong. One cause for satisfaction at the end of the season? Whatever happens tomorrow, Jaime is the driver who has completed the most laps, the greatest mileage this season, including all running at the 19 Grands Prix, including the Friday and Saturday sessions."
Jarno Trulli (19th, 1:43.516): "That was great and I'm delighted we finished the last qualifying session of the season as best of the new teams. The car was really good this afternoon which is a little surprising as I had quite a bit of rear-locking under braking which we didn't have in FP3. Nevertheless, the track was improving throughout the session, so it was important to get a good lap in at the end which I managed to do. I think I could have found another tenth but I just wanted to make sure we were in front, and the fact we are, with a decent gap to Timo, is a sign of how well we are finishing the season."
Heikki Kovalainen (20th, 1:43.712): "I thought the session was ok for me but congratulations to Jarno for putting in a great qualifying lap. I think I put in as good a performance as I could, and as both cars are ahead of our direct rivals it's where we want to be. We'll look to carry over today's performance into the race tomorrow and the main aim is to end the season as best of the new teams."
Tony Fernandes, Team Principal: "That was a fantastic display from the whole team. To end the final qualifying session of 2010 so far ahead of our main rivals is a great effort, and is just reward for the extremely hard work everyone has put in throughout the whole season. I have enjoyed every second of this weekend so far. On top of the strong performances on track yesterday and today, we have been able to take a few more important steps forward for 2011 and next year is looking more exciting than ever. However, for now it is all about this weekend. Richard Branson and I were measured up for our flight attendant uniforms today and that adds an extra bit of excitement to tomorrow's battle, but now it is all about making sure we keep our concentration and focus and finish the season as well as we did today."
Mike Gascoyne, Technical Director: "I don't think we could have asked for any more today. Both cars were strong, well balanced and dominated the other new teams which was the number one goal. We have worked hard all weekend to get the best out of the tyres, and both Jarno and Heikki did that in qualifying, putting us in a very strong position for tomorrow's race."
Bruno Senna (23rd, 1:45.085): "The track conditions were quite changeable today, but it improved during the day, even in qualifying. It was difficult to adapt to these changes but I could manage a good lap on the option tyres. It's going to be the last race of my first season in Formula 1, so I hope we can have a good and competitive one tomorrow."
Christian Klien (24th, 1:45.296): "It was a difficult day for us and we had problems with the brakes in the third practice. That's why we had to change the braking system which then worked better than before. Unfortunately, there was not enough time during the qualifying session to get used to the new set-up and I didn't feel very comfortable in the car. But I hope that we can do a good race tomorrow and finish with both cars again to end the season in a good way."
Colin Kolles, Team Principal: "The gap to the other new teams was not too big today. After fixing the problems Christian Klien had in the practice session, he could perform better. Bruno Senna could do a good lap and was close to our competitors. We could have achieved a better result but unfortunately we couldn't bring the sectors together. For the final race of the season we are hoping to have good fights with the other new teams and to achieve a satisfying result for us."
BMW Sauber-Ferrari
Kamui Kobayashi (12th, 1:40.783): "I missed Q3 by just a fraction of a second, and it was definitely a possibility for our car on this track. In general the car is much better than it was on Friday, and my lap was quite okay. But since we changed the brake material for free practice three, which is routine, I have had problems. The brake balance between front and rear isn't right. This obviously results in a lack of confidence and makes it difficult to put three perfect sector times together. Nevertheless I'm very much looking forward to the race tomorrow, and I believe I can score points from where I am starting."
Nick Heidfeld (14th, 1:41.113): "We have improved the car a lot since Friday. Qualifying wasn't bad, but I am not completely happy. It takes a few laps to heat up the tyres. In Q1 I used a set of Prime tyres and then a set of Option tyres. Like last year, the difference isn't really huge here. Although it is hot, the tarmac seems to be very smooth and doesn't offer too much grip. It is not easy to get the car's balance right here. In Q2 I used a single set of the softer Option rubber. The last lap was okay, I had no traffic or mistakes, but I still could feel there was more grip to come from the tyres."
James Key, Technical Director: "We seemed to head in the right direction for the set-up in free practice 3 after some good work by the drivers and engineers over night. We were fairly happy how the cars felt going into qualifying. There it was really all about the tyres, which spec to use and how long to stay out, because the warm-up was an issue, particularly with the changing conditions. The track temperatures and the length of the life of the tyres were the two factors we needed to trade off. So we tried longer runs in each session, and for us this was okay. Traffic was also a problem today, so to do more laps was sensible. It was a good lap by Kamui, he missed out on Q3 by just 1.3 tenths, but we have some fresh tyres for tomorrow. It's gonna be a fascinating race with the way the grid turned out today. We just hope for a good race on our side and some more points."
Timo Glock (21st, 1:44.095): "It was a reasonable qualifying in the sense that we got the most from the car, so I am pleased with my performance, although it is disappointing that we were unable to beat Lotus. It's hard to believe but it's the last race of our debut season tomorrow so we obviously hope we can do something in the race and maybe get ahead of the Lotus cars one last time."
Lucas di Grassi (22nd, 1:44.510): "All things considered, my lap time in qualifying was reasonably good, although traffic and track position played a big role in my qualifying times. Now we have to focus on tomorrow's race - the last of the season - in which we will try to do the best job possible and finish the year with a good result."
John Booth, Team Principal: "Both drivers suffered a little with traffic out there today. There was a problem with Lucas' brake drum which adversely affected his braking, nevertheless we simply weren't quite quick enough to beat our closest competitors. Tyre choice and management for tomorrow will be interesting and we look forward to an exciting season finale."

Sex-Assault Reports Surge For Military
Sharp Increase Provides Fuel to Debate About How to Overhaul the Military Justice System
A sharp increase in the number of sexual assault reports filed by members of the armed services is providing new fuel to the debate about how to overhaul the military justice system.
Some in the military and Congress said the increase shows a growing recognition of the problem has overcome some victims' reluctance to report these crimes. Others, however, contend the rising numbers could reflect increasing incidents and demonstrate that more should be done to improve how the military handles sexual assaults....

In this page centroid of triangle question10 we are going to see solution of first question of the quiz.
Definition of centroid:
The simple definition for centroid of a triangle is, the point of concurrency of the medians.
In the above triangle , AD, BE and CF are called medians. All the
three medians AD, BE and CF are intersecting at G. So G is called

Send us your mom tributes and we'll consider sharing them on SFGate in the days leading up to Mother's Day. Email a special photo of your mother along with a 100-word tribute to firstname.lastname@example.com by May 8. Please include "Mother's Day Tribute" in the subject line.
This is my mom. She likes golf, gardening and peanut M&Ms. She speaks French, knows everything about Winston Churchill, and reads about two newspapers a day, from cover to cover. She can easily walk 10 miles and often does.
She makes the best gazpacho, paella and chocolate chip cookies and almost never uses a recipe unless she's baking. She buys most of her clothing at second-hand stores yet she's one of the more stylish women I know.
She's social and outspoken and smart and always the life of the party. Boy, can she dance.
She still goes to reunions for the outdoor summer camp that she attended as a kid and where she also worked as a camp cook. She's always up for trying something new and recently told me that she plans to start taking guitar lessons.
She worked for many, many years because she wanted to have the money to give her kids opportunities. But now she's retired and spends her time with her friends, her grandkids and doing things like helping build a garden at a jail for women or a public school in Oakland.
Not a day goes by where I don't feel lucky to have my mom in my life and I know there are many other people out there with women in their lives who provide inspiration and support.
In honor of Mother's Day, we're hoping to hear about those motherly figures who touched your life in some special way. Please send in a photo or your mother (or grandmother or aunt or any motherly figure who touched your life) along with a 100-word tribute and we will consider sharing your contribution on SFGate. Send tributes to email@example.com by May 8. Please include "Mother's Day Tribute" in your email subject line.

Last time we went south of the city, so this time I headed north, stopping at Goodwills and Salvation Armies on the way to Round Rock, hoping I'd find some hidden gems, and while all the stores were stocked nicely, I didn't find much vintage. I'd been told before that estate sales are the way to go, but it was the weekend after a holiday, so there really weren't many.
But enough whining, I say! I did find these four things, which I'm very excited about:
|A beautiful red American Tourister bag, which has already sold.
|Two vintage pillowcases.
|Some pant/skirt hangers for Holly.
|And a Greek/Roman bust! She isn't marked, so I'm just going to say it's Athena.
And she's the perfect mat for...
|Hermes! I've had him for ages, thrifted in college in St. Joseph, Mo. And they even
face the right directions! It's like they're already in love...
The biggest question is whether or not to spray paint her silver to match him, or spray them both another color all together. What do you think?

About Squig
I would disagree with that, there were also concerned about ACTA being bad for trade with knock-of medicine for 3rd World countries and concerns about the patentability of genes and lifeforms expressed during the ACTA protests (even though they did take a back seat to digital rights.
So us Pirate Party folks should have waited 6 years, Terrorist party has a much nicer ring to it!
Well, Germany, Holland, France, Poland, ... all have national IDs, so I do not think those spell the end of all freedom. Brits (and Dutch as well) are way to uncritical towards CCTV though from my German PoV.
My German address did not work neither...
Yeah I know, but it is still noteworthy imo.
Since the Dutch governing coalition broke two weeks ago there will are upcoming elections on September 12th. The PPNL is at 1% in the polls without having started campaigning, this may come back to hurt Brein / the efforts of the MPAA and RIAA in the Netherlands big time.
Noteworthy is also that the Netherlands are the first country in Europe to have passed a net neutrality law - one day before the verdict against PPNL was issued.
It looks like the PP movement is strong and appealing enough to get independent successful (albeit on a municipal level) to join us. That is something. Not the same as an election success, but still.
PPUK ran for the last municipal elections in a few select cities, getting 3-5% where they ran (Giving hope for the next EP elections). They are in dire need of activists, maybe you should consider joining them?
At the demonstration itself there were 20 policeman and only 3 demonstrators (but it sorta got cancelled before, so that picture may not be entirely accurate). Still, the original point still stands.
Well, it is basically a court campaigning for the Pirate Party (or the Greens) and copyright reform.
The way I understood it (in German) was that their complaint was directed at German media. Don't think Playmobil did anything wrong here.
Thing is, even if we changed the name we would not be known by the new name, but everybody would still call us Pirate Party. We would essentially be giving the interpretation about what 'Pirate' means in a political context up to our enemies, however.
Well, we also have been on German state and private TV every day in prime time (or late prime time) in some way or another for a week or two. But you focus on Österreich and the fact that it is a tabloid.
No position of any Pirate Party yet. In general we try to keep politics transparent (makes lobbying much easier to detect) and try to listen to experts on issues we have to form our opinion on still.
Well, it certainly helped those elements within the other parties that partly stand close to our issues to have their voices heard more, so our issues get pushed into the other parties as well. Does not seem to hurt us, however. (I am a German pirate party member)

You should reach out to Pirates in Massachusetts, maybe they can help you. For infrastructure also the PPS of most other countries are happy to help!
Not to mention that if you equate socialism (which usually is social-democracy in Europe) and authoritarian, Soviet-style communism (or the Yugoslav, Cuban or Chinese variants) you are just being stupid. By that logic the US was fighting the commies by the sides of commies (as Western Europe essentially became social-democratic after WW2, no matter whether the ruling party was conservative, liberal (=libertarian in US-terms) or socialist)
But continental European law takes earlier ruling of different courts far less into account than the English/American legislative system. So while there will be harmonization, rulings from German regional courts will matter little.

Broken Washing Machine
Taking pictures of your own kids is tough. My daughter refuses to look at me and when she does it usually means I get to see all of her tongue, her eyes squinted and her head contorted. My son just sighs when he sees me reach for my camera.
I do love this picture of my daughter. I would have loved to have her looking at me but I will take what I can get with that firecracker!
Right before I snapped this one my son said, "One picture, that is all mom." Here is that one picture.
I love that the laundromat is an unexpected place for a shoot and would love to see how this would work with kids other than my own. Thank you also to all the little old ladies that just smiled at me and my kids and even though I could see it in their eyes, never once asked what the hell I was doing.

Preview: Stussy Canada
—01. Black crewneck sweatshirt.
A couple of weeks ago Owen and I started working on a small project for Stussy. The international brand has played a huge role in the growth of streetwear and the way that collaboration has become a big part of the market. This Saturday, Stussy is launching a Canada specific range featuring simple, basic items such as fleece sweats, cotton tees, button up shirts and a hand-knit Cowichan sweater made by Canadian Sweater Company. I recently shot some looks for the small capsule collection and Owen will be producing a short video aspect of the project within the next couple of weeks.
I shot all of the images with my Canon F1 35mm camera. I used a mix of colour and black and white film for the shoot. I was mostly focused on using the black and white as much as possible, and I felt pretty good about how the shots came out overall.—Stussy

In Jaffa, Israel's attacks on Gaza prompt conflicting views
Khaled Damrani serves falafel in Jaffa and keeps a souvenir in his cash register: a piece of shrapnel that landed a few feet from his store this week. It was from a rocket fired from Gaza and intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system.
A day after Israel began a ground incursion into Gaza, Damrani struggled to make sense of it.
"I want to be finished with all this," said Damrani, pointing to the rocket shrapnel. "If (the ground operation) will end the war – I'm for it. But if it will only lead to killing and bloodshed – I'm against."
Jaffa is a historically Arab city that has gradually gotten swallowed up by Tel Aviv. Today it is a melange; Arab families still live there, as do Bulgarian families who arrived in the 1950s, along with Jewish artists and young people who have moved in over the past decade.
In total, about 54,000 people call Jaffa home – three-quarters are Jews. When the air-raid siren sounds, all the residents share bomb shelters and keep a count of the interceptions by Iron Dome – four on Friday. But they don't share the same view on how to deal with the threat from Hamas.
Damrani is an Arab Israeli citizen. Like many Arab residents of Jaffa, his wife has family in Gaza, and he remembers going with her to visit family or to get medical treatment in the enclave. He has not been back in years. He speaks Arabic at home but keeps Israeli Channel 10 TV News playing in his shop; it's easier for his clients, he said.
Motti Pinsky bought a sandwich from Damrani. He said that he trusted the Israeli army to be careful with civilian lives – and that Hamas had this attack coming. He recalled the attempt on Thursday by Hamas operatives to infiltrate and attack Israel through a tunnel; they were thwarted.
"The purpose is to go in and create a buffer zone so combatants cannot cross into Israel," said Pinsky, a Canadian immigrant to Israel. "I find that both necessary and responsible."
On Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the ground invasion was aimed at destroying Hamas tunnels and ending rocket fire from Gaza. He said it could expand further.
"We chose to commence this operation after we had exhausted the other possibilities, and with the understanding that without action, the price that we would pay would be much greater," Netanyahu said.
Operation Protective Edge is the third Israeli military attempt in six years to cut down rockets fired from Gaza. The first, Operation Cast Lead, was a three-week aerial and ground attack in 2008. International criticism of Israel centered on that operation's large Palestinian death toll, which reached above 1,400, compared with 13 Israeli casualties. In 2012, Israel launched Operation Pillar of Defense with the same aim of stopping rocket fire. That operation lasted eight days.
Iliana, a 50-year-old Jewish woman who decline to give her last name as she hurried to a cab ahead of the Jewish Sabbath, said this time will be different.
"We have to somehow finish it," she said. "We keep returning to the same situation."
Erez, a reserve soldier who declined to give his full name, stood with his green army uniform folded into a plastic bag as he hailed a cab home from his post with the home-front command, near the city of Beersheba. The war took him by surprise, he said, and he called this "the weirdest war I've been in." But he was angry about the discovery Wednesday that 20 missiles were hidden at a United Nations school in Gaza.
"I think Israel is acting with a lot of restraint, and the other side isn't," Erez said. "It can't be that communities in the south will live under such an immediate threat."
The Arabs of Jaffa are part of a 20 percent Arab minority in Israel – a minority that does not share widespread Israeli support for a ground invasion.
Jaffa has been the site of antiwar protests. On Saturday about 100 people rallied against Israel's operation in the neighborhood's Clock Tower Square; dozens of hawkish war supporters shouted at them from across the street.
Wisam Hamdan also keeps a piece of shrapnel as a souvenir – on his phone. He works in a hotel in Jaffa on weekends with Jewish Israelis.
"I have friends at work, and then I see them in the army uniform," Hamdan said. "They're going to fight Arabs. Arabs like me."
If residents in Jaffa are conflicted, in Gaza the feeling is of being under siege. Political scientist Mukhaimar Abusaada, who ordinarily teaches at Gaza City's Al-Azhar University, said: "People are expecting the worst."
Abusaada said he used the five-hour humanitarian cease-fire Thursday to visit his mother and brothers, who live north of him in Beit Lahiya. The Israeli army told residents there to evacuate during the current ground incursion. Abusaada said they are staying put for now because they have nowhere else to go.
"Even if there are some Palestinians who are angry at Hamas and do not want this war . . . you will not find one single Palestinian who supports an Israeli ground invasion," Abusaada said. "If Israel thinks Palestinians are going to revolt against Hamas, this is not going to happen."

COMMERCE CITY Colo. (Monday November 16 2009) - MLS Commissioner Don Garber today announced that Colorado Rapids forward Conor Casey has been named to the 2009 MLS Best XI during his annual State of the League address.
The MLS Best XI recognizes the League's top 11 players at each position on the field - one goalkeeper three defenders five midfielders and two forwards.
The players selected to the Best XI received the most votes from the media MLS players and MLS coaches and general managers.
Casey garners Best XI honors for the first time in his three-year career following a stellar 2009 season which saw him finish second in the Budweiser MLS Golden Boot race with a new Rapids single season record 16 goals.
In 24 games this season he played in 2087 minutes and added one assist while also capturing MLS Player of the Week three times on the year and MLS Player of the Month for May. In July Casey was also named to his first career MLS All-Star First XI.
Casey becomes the sixth Rapids player in team history to be named to the league's year-end Best XI squad and the first since Joe Cannon in 2004.
2009 MLS Best XI:
GOALKEEPER (1): Zach Thornton (Chivas USA)
DEFENDERS (3): Geoff Cameron (Houston Dynamo) Wilman Conde (Chicago Fire) Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew)
MIDFIELDERS (5): Dwayne De Rosario (Toronto FC) Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy) Stuart Holden (Houston Dynamo) Shalrie Joseph (New England Revolution) Freddie Ljungberg (Seattle Sounders FC)
FORWARDS (2):Conor Casey (Colorado Rapids)Jeff Cunningham (FC Dallas)

The Jacksonville Jaguars are taking a hard look at Alex Mack.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday that the Jaguars hosted the transition tagged Cleveland Browns center on Friday. Mack and Jacksonville continue to talk and an offer sheet is a possibility, according to two sources informed of the visit.
The Browns' decision to use the transition tag as opposed to the franchise tag has given other teams the opportunity to make an offer for the Pro Bowl center in free agency. The Browns can match any competing offer within five days, but get no compensation if Mack signs with another team.
The transition tag lowers Mack's one-year price tag from $11.6 million to approximately $10 million.
According to Rapoport, the Browns and Mack have continued to negotiate since the March 3 tag date, but no deal is imminent. Rapoport reported last month that four teams were in contact with Mack's camp on varying levels, including the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens. It's believed that Mack's meeting with Jacksonville is his first with any team.
The Jaguars have a significant void at center following the exit of franchise stalwart Brad Meester, who retired after 14 seasons with the team.
Mack, 28, is an impact player who represents an excellent succession plan at the position. According to official NFLPA records, Cleveland has nearly $31 million in cap space (about $6 million more than the Jags), giving the Browns the financial flexibility to match an offer sheet for the Cal product.
We could soon find out just how badly they want to keep their center around.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast", the guys welcome Browns star Joe Haden to the studio and talk about the uncertain future of Chris Johnson.

|The vivacious and somewhat crazy Lee Andrikopolous. If anyone can teach you the art of selling your photography,
he can. Don't miss our combined seminar - The Reality of Shooting and Selling!
In world that has commoditised photography, working photographers at all levels are having difficulty making money from their craft. There are several reasons for this, and many of them have little to do with the customers' perceptions of their abilities or the value of photography. In the hundreds of workshops I have run, I have learned that while there are many photographers who know how to create beautiful work, they have little if any real ability to infuse it with a dollar value and stick to it. Their fear of rejection often gets in the way of their ability to value their photography and sell it for what its actually worth.
That being the case, long time photographer and lecturer on this very subject, Lee Andrikopolous and I are running a day-long seminar that will change the way you create and sell your photography, enabling you to understand the process of appealing to your customer, creating the photographs they desire and then selling them at their worth. Along with his wife, Lorna, Lee has been running a life-changing business called Instincive Desires for several years, teaching photographers how to create and sell images and make a living from photography. For my part, I will be discussing the need for a photographer to gather the right creative skillset and in creating niche products. Combined, there is much to learn from our decades of experience in this industry.
The event is being held at Abbottsford Convent, Abbottsford, Victoria, on Tuesday the 23rd of October.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Warming Up to Winter Exercise
We all know the benefits of exercise. But when it comes to fall and winter, the nip in the air can make it hard to get moving. The following tips should warm you up to cold weather physical activity.
Break it up
Several sessions of physical activity during the day give benefits similar to one longer session---try three 10-minute exercise sessions in the morning, at lunch and in the evening.
Mix it up
Varying the types of activity will keep you from getting bored.
- Join a mall-walking group, or buddy up with friends to walk outside or at an indoor track
- Join Team Joslin and sign up for a walk or road race in the spring in support of Joslin's High Hopes Fund; when you're committed to something, bailing out is not an option.
- Swim at an indoor pool
- Join a fitness club that offers aerobics classes, cardiovascular and strength-training equipment.
- Exercise at home (take the stairs; clean the house; walk in place; lift soup cans; do push-ups, crunches, calf raises or exercise videos).
- Shovel
- Ski or snowboard
- Sled
- Snowshoe
- Skate
- Walk your dog
- Build a snowman
Layer up
If you opt for outdoor activities, stay cool, dry and comfortable---in layers.
- Innermost layer: a light garment made from a synthetic fabric, such as polypropylene that wicks away sweat from your body
- Insulating layer: a sweater, sweatshirt or fleece pullover for warmth
- Outermost layer: a garment that's waterproof and breathable, such as GORE-TEX, allowing sweat to escape
- Layering rules also apply to gloves, hat and socks
- Choose rugged, waterproof shoes with heavy-duty soles
Warm up
Once you're well insulated, be sure to warm up for five to 10 minutes indoors, before going outside. During your workout, you want to feel warm, not hot and sweaty.
Check up
If you check your blood glucose during cold weather activities remember:
- Meters are temperature sensitive---the accuracy may be affected when it is too cold or too hot. Most meters work best within the 50 to 104 degree F range.
- In cold weather, carry your meter and strips inside your clothes so your body heat can keep them in the correct temperature range.
- When the temperature is too cold, find a warmer place to check your blood glucose.
- If necessary, meters offer the option to use alternative sites for the drop of blood, but it is still best to stick your finger.
- If you have questions, call your meter company's toll-free customer service number.
*Always consult your healthcare provider before exercising in the cold.

The FaithOfJesus2 Daily Devotional Year 2
( FaithOfJesus thread begun by rRandyP )
Today's Verse:
kjv@Matthew:26:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
kjv@Matthew:26:2 @ Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
kjv@Matthew:26:3 @ Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
kjv@Matthew:26:4 @ And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
kjv@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
Today's notes: Lest there be an uproar
- Before - Unto the Least of My Brethren
- After - very precious ointment
What is man believing and doing:
- Something has to immediately be done about Jesus. They have tried before, this time it just has to be done.
- assembling and consulting of the Jewish leaders for the purpose of capturing and killing an enemy of Israel subtly
- (implied) perhaps that they could work this into Rome doing what they themselves lawfully could not do (by Roman law)
- being cautious of public outcry if performed on the Passover Feast
- putting the high priest in a palace and the Son of God in a grave
What is making man to believe/do as he is:
- The weight of their expectation/insult exceeds the weight of His further possibility. Their expectation is that the Christ will be a political/religious leader like no other that will come restore Israel to her former glory and beyond; that there will be no question as to who this is because God will stand with Him in this very manner. In order to do that this type of leader would also require the support and strength of the nation which Jesus appears only to be dividing and jeopardizing. He certainly does not have their support, not after everything that He has called them and presented them as being.
- They do not know God nor God's will therefore they know not God's Son. Jesus is claiming to be God and saying that the temple will be destroyed, both to them naturally is blasphemy. They do not believe either is true or remotely possible. Even though He does many wondrous works, these can be attributed to Satan.
- "Thou shall not murder" by oral tradition does not apply to enemies of the temple/state (I do believe that they could even lie and bare false witness legally in this case, which they do). Blasphemy too is punishable by death. Both being determined the question becomes how best to accomplish this plan without it back firing and Rome stepping in against them.
- (I believe following an recent massacre on the temple steps the intended message has been delivered by Pilate and Herod for these leaders to take care of business or else the state will).
kjv@Exodus:12-13 dict:all Passover dict:all priest
Key Messages:
- What does this say about our present condition?
- If Jewish leaders are right? In context?
- If Jesus is right? In context?
The Law and Oral traditions will have survived perhaps their greatest challenge and that in perhaps their weakest hour; this decades away from their Temple being utterly destroyed and the nation being dispersed abroad for nearly two thousand more years. That the previous sins of their fathers killing God's prophets off have somewhat been atoned for by them killing off the greatest of the false prophets. The human influences that would have made them judge differently have for once have been staved off at least in part by the purer foundations of the oral traditions and interpreted Law.
By our own resource, even the higher more formalized forms, man cannot in this present condition know God and thereby presume to act on God's behalf unless God Himself reveals Himself to us. In order for God to reveal Himself adequately/convincingly to us, He first must reveal our own true nature by it's very thoughts and intents; and that unfortunately means that part of Him has to die now just as He has been dead to us all along in our conscience. There is too much stray influence in the human heart even with the spiritual elements of His law, His covenant, His shown mercy/deliverance, His promise land, His many national signs/wonders, His patience/providence, His election, His Temple, His stern rebukes, our better intentions/traditions/ritualism/zealous devotion for it to operate towards it's own/God's best spiritual interest; it will always work against it. It has been proven throughout the entire history of Israel and mankind, it will continue to be proved till the end, the ultimate proof of this condition is in what they are about to do to Jesus.

World decision makers are paying inadequate attention to one of the strongest global tools in combating climate change, says a consortium of powerful international environmental organisations.
Two reports highlighting the importance of nature in our fight with climate change, Convenient Solutions to an Inconvenient Truth: Ecosystem-based approaches to Climate Change and Natural Solutions: Protected Areas Helping People Cope with Climate Change, were presented during the Protected Areas Day at the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya.
"In the rush for 'new' solutions to climate change, we are in danger of neglecting a proven alternative" says Alexander Belokurov, Landscape Conservation Manager of WWF International. "Protected areas are an investment which societies have made for a millennia, using traditional approaches which have proven their potential and effectiveness in modern times."
Natural Ecosystems, especially Protected Areas, offer proven and cost effective solutions to the impacts of climate change, according to two publications released by the World Bank and the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) of IUCN with its partners The Nature Conservancy, the UNDP, Wildlife Conservation Society, the World Bank and WWF.
The reports' authors argue that natural ecosystems hold vast amounts of carbon, and that effectively managed protected areas are a good way of maintaining those carbon stores and reducing our vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. Improved protection and management of natural habitats protects carbon stores and the biological resources and ecosystem services on which human lives and livelihoods depend. Such ecosystem-based approaches should be integrated into national strategies to address climate change and complement investments in cleaner energy and infrastructure.
Nature's role in Mitigation Terrestrial and marine ecosystems play a significant role in the global carbon cycle, storing and sequestering atmospheric carbon. Fifteen percent of the world's terrestrial carbon stock - 312 Gigatonnes - is stored in the forests, grasslands, mangroves, seagrass beds and other natural ecosystems in protected areas around the world.
In Canada, over 4,000 million tons of carbon dioxide is sequestered in 39 national parks, estimated to be worth $39-87 billion in carbon credits. In the Brazilian Amazon, protected lands, including state parks and indigenous reserves, are expected to prevent 670,000 km² of deforestation by 2050, representing 8 billion tons of avoided carbon emissions.
Nature's Role in Adaptation Natural ecosystems and protected areas also serve as natural buffers against climate impacts and other disasters, providing coastal protection, regulating water flow and flood dispersal, stabilizing soil against landslides and blocking storm surges. The value of coastal wetlands in the United States in providing protection against storm surges and hurricanes is estimated at US$23.2 billion a year From Honduras to Vietnam, and India to Myanmar and Indonesia, healthy mangrove ecosystems have demonstrated their value in protecting local communities from cyclone and tsunamis.
Forests, grasslands, wetlands, marine and other natural systems provide a range of goods and services often not recognised in national economic accounts but vital to human welfare: clean water, fisheries, agrobiodiversity, food, shelter and sources of income for vulnerable communities. Thirty three of the world's 105 largest cities derive their drinking water from catchments within forest protected areas. How well these services are maintained will depend on effective management, appropriate governance mechanisms and adequate financial support. Currently financial support to the global protected areas network is estimated at less than half of what is needed for maximum efficiency.
Speaking for the consortium Nik Lopoukine, Chair of the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, said "The role of natural ecosystems and protected areas need to be recognized in both the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biodiversity as powerful tools to increase resilience to climate change. Investing in improved management of natural habitats and protected areas is an investment in proven, green solutions to address climate change and to ensure the security of vulnerable communities".
Quotes on the Reports:
Convenient Solutions to an Inconvenient Truth: Ecosystem-based approaches to Climate Change.
"Protection and sound management of natural ecosystems maintain carbon sinks and provide natural solutions that enable societies to adapt to climate change". Warren Evans, Director, Environment Department, The World Bank.
"Development agencies, countries and the Conventions on Biological Diversity and Climate Change need to recognise that conserving and restoring ecosystems is a cost-effective and socially responsible approach to both mitigating and adapting to climate change, while providing communities with the ecosystem services essential for human welfare". Dr Robert Watson, C.B.E, Chief Scientific Advisor, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, U.K.
Natural solutions: protected areas helping people cope with climate change
"Natural solutions: protected areas helping people cope with climate change, clearly articulates for the first time how protected areas contribute significantly to reducing the impacts of climate change," says Lord Nicholas Stern, who wrote a foreword for the report.
"The living conditions of rural communities, whose livelihoods are already threatened by climate change, will significantly worsen without immediate action" said Nik Sekhran, Head of UNDP's Biodiversity and Ecosystem Programme.

Can you handle the truth? Denver DA to name legal movies that get it right, wrong
Two-term Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey has earned a national reputation for his expertise in DNA technology. But how well does he know his movies?
We'll find out Sunday, when Morrissey is the guest speaker for the Denver Film Society's Colorado Cinema Salon. Morrissey will discuss which movies do a good job representing the legal profession, and which ones miss the mark. He will join Cinema Salon curator and moderator Robert Denerstein, the former Rocky Mountain News film critic. The event starts at 2 p.m. at the Denver Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax. (And yes, you need to buy a ticket to attend).
The event got us talking about our faves, from "The Firm" to "A Few Good Men" (Someone who shall remain nameless apparently has a Tom Cruise thing).
The American Bar Association Journal has named "To Kill A Mockingbird" the winner of its 25 Greatest Legal Movies. No surprise there. The ABA also gave a shout out to "My Cousin Vinny," "Inherit the Wind," "12 Angry Men" and "Erin Brockovich," among others. The lawyers had no love, however, for "Legally Blonde," despite Reese Witherspoon's clever use of perm maintenance knowledge to free her sorority sister.
Have a favorite legal movie? One you can't stand? Give us your list and we'll see how you compare with Denver's top prosecutor.

Fiscal cliff action shifts to Senate
As the nation inches toward the fiscal cliff, two fresh dynamics are taking hold in Washington, both of which will be instructive as onlookers in Washington and financial players around the globe try to decipher if a deal is coming together or falling apart.
First, it's clear that the center of gravity has moved toward the Senate, where there's finally recognition on both sides of the aisle that Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will likely have to craft and pass a bipartisan agreement before the Republican-controlled House takes it up. On Friday, though, all congressional leaders will meet at the White House.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Fiscal cliff's key players)
Second, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is still trying to project strength and viability to his troops after a bruising battle with his own conservative colleagues.
Speaking from Ohio, Boehner told House Republicans on a conference call restricted to GOP lawmakers that his desire for bipartisanship goes only so far.
"I'm not interested in passing something with mostly Democrat votes," Boehner said, according to lawmakers on the call.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama sets last-ditch meeting with Hill leaders)
This is an important stance, because Democrats claim Boehner can simply avert the fiscal cliff by passing a bill that would sneak through the Senate and garner most of the 191 Democrats in the House and a sliver of his GOP colleagues. Aiming to craft something that most of the 241 Republicans can support would help keep Boehner's flank intact and weaken his dissenters.
Boehner was also unmoved by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's warning that the nation will reach its debt limit on Monday. Congress still has until February or March, Boehner told House Republicans on the call.
( Also on POLITICO: Silver lining: delay in hitting debt limit)
So there's fresh sense of urgency, as raising the nation's borrowing cap is still unlikely to be included in a final package.
But make no mistake: This is mostly theatrics, not real movement toward a bipartisan deal. Top aides involved in fiscal cliff discussions still say the chances of crafting a compromise and passing it through both chambers before Dec. 31 are well below 50 percent. Reid opened the day saying it "looks like" the nation was careening off the fiscal cliff.
And Washington has now accepted that a small, pared-back package — not a big deficit reduction measure that Obama and Boehner have been working on for weeks — is all that's possible.
( Also on POLITICO: Longer the cliff dive, harder the hit)
Right now, Democrats say Congress should extend current tax rates for income below $250,000. Republicans are privately saying they would like to see Democrats move closer to $500,000.
But even as these figures are tossed around, key individuals involved in crafting a compromise are hesitant to project what it might look like, because the chances of success are so remote.
There are two limiting elements at play: time and dramatic policy differences.
There are just four days until the end of the year.
This week, the Senate is working to help repair the damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy and to update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The House votes at 6:30 p.m. Sunday and then will enter into a closed party meeting at 9 a.m. Monday to talk fiscal cliff strategy. So the House won't have any vote on a deal until Monday after 10 a.m. at the earliest.

Submission "Guidelines"
1) The Wreck MUST have been professionally made. That means someone somewhere actually paid for the cake. (We go by the theory that if you're paid to do it, you're a "professional".)
2) What NOT to send: excessively gory or obscene cakes (kitty-litter cakes included), or anything you were forwarded by e-mail (trust me: whatever it is, I've seen it).
3) If possible, rather than sending me a whole website link, pick some of your favorites and just send me the links to those.
4) I generally credit submitters by first name and last initial. If you don't want your name attached, be sure to mention that in the e-mail. If you do want you name attached, make sure your name is written somewhere in the e-mail.
5) Don't have a wreck, but just want to say "hi"? Please do! I absolutely LOVE hearing from all of you!
6) I've reached the point now where I can no longer answer every single e-mail. This is both good (lots of e-mails) and bad (no time to answer them all). So, if you're just submitting a cake photo, you may not hear back from me personally. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
7) Fellow bloggers: no need to ask my permission to link to Cake Wrecks; feel free. (And thanks for all the shout-outs!)
Thanks, all!

Ireland's Simon Thornton continued his sparkling form on the second day of the money-spinning Kazakhstan Open to open up a two-shot lead over the rest of the field at the €400,000 Challenge Tour event.
Thornton, who finished in a tie for 21st place on his only previous visit to Kazakhstan two years ago, embarked on a birdie blitz on another day of high temperatures at Nurtau Golf Club, in Almaty, where he covered the front nine in just 31 shots.
The 34 year old made another gain at the tenth hole, before dropping his only shot of the day at the par three 14th hole. But Thornton finished on a high note with his seventh birdie of the day on the last to sign for a round of 66 which moved him to 11 under par, two shots clear of the rookie duo of Norway's Knut Borsheim and 19 year old Englishman Chris Lloyd.
Thornton said: "I just tried to carry on doing what I did yesterday, because when you're playing well sometimes you can start to get a little bit negative. That's just the way the human mind works. But today I got off to a great start, starting holing some nice putts, and managed to keep the momentum going for the whole round.
"I actually missed a six-footer for birdie on the second, so I could've quite easily birdied my first five holes. Then I birdied the two par fives, the eighth and the tenth, which are both reachable – even for me – if you hit good drives, so if you only make a par there, you almost feel like you're dropping a shot on the field. I don't hit the ball a long way but you get a lot of run on the fairways out there, so that's a big help for players like me.
"I played just as well on the back nine as I did on the front but just didn't really hole any putts apart from the 18th, where I holed a nice one, so that was a great finish to another really pleasing day for me. The course is playing quite tough and the rough is really thick in places, so I'm absolutely thrilled to be on 11 under after two days."
Borsheim, who is playing under a sponsor's invitation, was equally delighted after signing for a flawless round of 65 to surge from tied 20th place overnight to a share of second place.
The young Norwegian, who graduated from Arizona State University in America last year, has shown little in his six previous appearances on the Challenge Tour to suggest that he would play a leading role this week, with a tie for 31st place at the Acaya Open his best performance to date.
But Borsheim revealed he has been struggling with chronic fatigue, and has only recently returned to full fitness.
He said: "I just felt tired all the time. I could hardly get out of bed in the morning, and had no energy to practise or play golf. I just had to be nice to my body for a while, because I think I was probably exhausted from college, and studying, and playing a lot of golf. I've got another scan in October to try to find out what the problem is, but at the moment I feel absolutely fine, which is probably why I'm playing much better now.
"I feel like a round like today's has been coming for a while now, because I've been playing better and better – even if my results may not have shown that. The longest par putt I had today was from about three feet, so I was never really in any trouble.
"The course suits me, because I hit it pretty straight and long, so I can take advantage of some of the par fives especially. The set-up is quite similar to some of the courses over in the States with the thick rough, which I obviously got used to playing when I was at college over there. So I feel very comfortable out here."
Lloyd is feeling increasingly at home on the Challenge Tour this term, having turned professional last year following a glittering amateur career which included two appearances in the Junior Ryder Cup and victory in the Jacques Léglise Trophy in 2009.
The Bristolian endured an indifferent front nine, with consecutive bogeys from the eighth hole cancelling out gains at the fourth and seventh, but he more than made amends with a blistering back nine which included four birdies.
Lloyd, currently 21st in the Challenge Tour Rankings, said: "I played much better today than I did yesterday. I only missed two greens all day, on the two holes I bogeyed. It was a bit frustrating to turn in level par because I felt I deserved more, but then after the turn I played well – especially the last seven holes, which is the best I've played in a long time. I made some nice putts on the way in, which gives me a lot of confidence going into the weekend.
"I'm really looking forward to it – I haven't been in contention for a little while, and it's what we play the game for. It's always nice to be up near the top of the leaderboard, especially as it's such a big tournament. It'll be nice to climb back into the top 20 of the Rankings, but there's a long way to go before I can start thinking about that."
Lloyd's compatriots Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Walker currently share fourth place on seven under par after carding respective rounds of 69 and 65.

Vatican City, Jul 13, 2014 / 07:35 am ().- Pope Francis prayed for peace in the Holy Land on Sunday, asking participants to join him in a moment of silent prayer.
"I extend a heartfelt appeal to all of you to continue to pray earnestly for peace in the Holy Land, in light of the tragic events of recent days," the Roman Pontiff said after his July 13 weekly Angelus address.
Recalling the June 8 invocation for peace with the Israeli and Palestinian presidents, the pontiff recounted how they "invoked the gift of peace and heard the call to break the cycle of hatred and violence."
"Some might think that such a meeting took place in vain," he observed, "But no, because prayer helps us not to allow ourselves to be overcome by evil, nor resign ourselves to violence and hatred taking over dialogue and reconciliation."
"I urge the parties concerned and all those who have political responsibility at local and international levels to spare a prayer and make some effort to put an end to all hostilities and to achieve the desired peace for the good of all."
Pope Francis then invited the thousands present in St Peter's Square to unite in prayer and led the masses in a moment of silent prayer for the Holy Land.
Tensions between Israel and Palestine have steadily increased in recent weeks following the murder of three Israeli teenagers, whose bodies were discovered June 30. The day of their funeral the body of a Palestinian teenager was found, whose death is seen as a retaliation killing.
Israel and Palestinian organization Hamas, seen as a terrorist group and whom Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has faulted for murder of the three Jewish teenagers, have continued to exchange fire in the Gaza area, despite a proposed cease-fire last week.
According to BBC News, health officials in Gaza report that at least 159 Palestinians have been killed since airstrikes from Israel began, including several civilians. Israel has stated that the strikes are in retaliation for continued rocket blasts from Hamas.
The agency also reports that earlier this morning Israeli military forces dropped leaflets over the city of Beit Lahiya in Gaza telling civilians to seek shelter ahead of further airstrikes near the security headquarters and police stations run by Hamas Islamist militants in Gaza.
Following the prayerful moment of silence, Pope Francis prayed "Now, Lord, help us! Grant us peace, teach us peace, guide us toward peace."
"Open our eyes and our hearts and give us the courage to say: 'Never again war!' 'Everything is destroyed by war.'"
He asked that the Lord give to all the strength and courage "to take concrete actions to build peace...make us willing to listen to the cry of our citizens who are asking us to transform our weapons into instruments of peace, our fears into trust, and our tensions into forgiveness."
During his reflections on the day's Gospel of the parable of the sower and the seed, the Pope drew attention to Jesus' frequent use of parables, noting that he uses "a language understood by all, with images drawn from nature and everyday life situations."
He observed how the first three terrains where the sower drops the seeds are "unproductive" because "along the way the seeds are eaten by birds; on the stony ground they sprout up but immediately dry out because they didn't have roots" and "in the middle of the bushes the seeds are suffocated by thorns."
"The fourth soil is the good soil, and only there the seed takes root and bears fruit," he said.
Pope Francis observed how the first three types of soil signify those people who hear God's word but don't welcome it; those who do welcome it, but only on a superficial level that breaks down when difficulties come; and those who listen to God's word but are too caught up in worldly concerns and the seduction of wealth, so it dies.
"Finally, the seed that falls on fertile ground represents the many who hear the word, welcome it, cherish it and understand it, and this brings fruit. The perfect model of this good soil is the virgin Mary."
Noting how Jesus speaks to each of us in the same way today, the Pope asked "With what attitude do we welcome" the word of God? "How is our heart? Which terrain does it resemble: a street, a stone, a bush?"
"It's up to us to become good ground without thorns or stones, but tilled and cultivated with care, so that it can bear good fruit for us and for our brothers and sisters," he said, explaining that we receive this seed in God's word each time we go to Mass, which needs "to be accepted, cherished, lived."
"Also in these summer months, during the holiday time, it's important to participate each Sunday at this table, drawing light and strength for our journey."
