IBM: A Nanotech Venture in New York
Five computer chipmakers, including IBM and Intel, plan to create a hub for nanotechnology in New York, committing $4.4 billion over five years for the venture. One part of the project, led by IBM, will spend $3.6 billion to develop two next-generation computer chips that are used in supercomputers and consumer devices. The other part focuses on the silicon wafers used to create microchips. The venture hopes to develop technologies to increase the size of standard wafers, which would double the number of chips cut from wafer and lower prices. For New York, the investment by the companies will result in 6,900 jobs either retained or created.
General Motors: Reversing Its Course with OnStar
General Motors' OnStar vehicle navigation service said it won't collect data on the driving habits of customers who cancel their subscriptions, reversing a policy that drew protests from three U.S. senators. OnStar, which delivers navigation and security features via a car's global-positioning system, had previously told its 6 million customers in an e-mail that it would continue collecting information from vehicles of subscribers who drop the service. Customers would have been required to contact OnStar to halt the data collection.
Bridgestone: Rolling on Record Tire Sales
Tiremakers are seeing record demand as the Chinese auto market remains hot and Japanese car production rebounds after the earthquake and tsunami in March. Bridgestone, the world's biggest tiremaker, has more orders than it can handle, eroding rubber inventories just as rain delays threaten supplies from Thailand, the largest producer. The Tokyo-based company raised prices for truck and bus tires in Japan twice in 2011 and plans on raising some prices in the U.S. and Canada later this year.
Nike: New Funding for Startups
Nike is setting up a venture capital offshoot to back startups focused on alternative energies and efficient manufacturing. The technologies could help Nike produce its products more sustainably and cheaply. The move takes a page from Silicon Valley, where technology companies have started venture arms. With research budgets getting cut, a wider range of companies are now looking to startups to help them maintain innovation. Nike's effort, called Sustainable Business & Innovation Lab, hasn't made any investments yet.
Berkshire Hathaway: Capitalizing on the Market Slump
Warren Buffett's Bershire Hathaway, which has shunned buybacks for four decades, will repurchase shares for as much as 110 percent of their book value, saying the stock is undervalued after falling 17 percent this year. The Omaha-based company, which was sitting on nearly $48 billion in cash as of June 30, has traditionally used the firm's profits to buy companies and stocks, instead of offering buybacks or issuing dividends. Berkshire said it would not buy back shares if it had less than $20 billion in available cash.

Spoilers: Up to Unexpected; background information for Charles Deveaux taken from How to stop an exploding man.
Thanks to: Wychwood, for beta-reading.
Author's note: Simone exploration, which caught me by surprise, but was triggered by a reaction I had to a certain scene in the finale. Also, bring your own subtext.
The Worst Lies
Back in college, Simone had a friend who used to quote Philip Larkin to her, They fuck you up, your mum and dad. Simone thought that was the cheapest excuse around, blaming it on the parents. She certainly didn't blame her father for the ongoing trainwreck that was her romantic life.
Not until the last day of her life, anyway, and by then she was blaming him for far more important things.
Simone used to tease her boyfriends that they fell for her father first. Charles Deveaux, good-natured benevolence rumbling in his every word, was everyone's ideal dad; all understanding, never disparaging, and no restrictions. (This had made for an adolescence free of rebellion for Simone, for what was there to rebel against? ) At some point while finding Isaac high yet again and listening to Peter Petrelli making overtures by telling her something about them being brother and sister, she wondered why she never attracted men who didn't need someone to look after them anymore. It was an idle thought, just something to distract herself from the reality of her father's impending death, and she didn't pursue it.
"Isaac sketched it for my dad's 70th birthday," Simone said to Peter, looking at the drawing that showed her father, her irrevocably dead father, and feeling nothing but numbness inside. "You know, I've been trying to get him clean forever. The one time I need him. Feels like everybody's leaving me."
"I'm not going anywhere," Peter said, and though she knew it was a mistake sleeping with him so soon after the break-up with Isaac, she chose to believe him. She didn't have a type. She didn't. Peter was very different from Isaac, talk about destiny and the future aside. She had just about enough of tortured boys who manipulated one to get what they wanted and made one watch while they self destructed. Maybe it was selfish, wanting to be the one taken care of for a change, but she had held her dying father in her arms this morning, and if she ever had been entitled to selfishness, surely it was now?
As it turned out, this would be the last time she would ever talk to Peter Petrelli, save one.
Simone was an only child, which was, perhaps, why her father took to her boyfriends so easily. Sometimes she wondered why he never actually adopted someone. At any rate, she didn't get siblings. Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that she didn't understand what kind of relationship Peter thought he had with his brother, and vice versa. People called her an enabler for putting up with Isaac's heroin addiction for such a long time; oh, not to her face, of course, but she knew they did. But if Isaac had ever described her as suicidal in front of everyone, she would have broken up with him a long time ago; she'd never have forgiven him. She certainly wouldn't have gone for a Sunday visit a few days later. Things started to get more bizarre from there.
First she found herself watching Nathan Petrelli destroy one of Isaac's paintings in a grim, systematic way that left Simone, whose passion for art always felt to her more trustworthy than her relationships with artists, genuinely scared.
"No," she cried, "what are you doing? No!"
"Saving his life," Nathan replied tersely.
Later, she suspected that it was both the destruction of the painting and that insufferable high-handedness which drove her to give Peter the photo showing his own death, or at least as much as it was the wish to help him, and the wish to honor her father's dying words. It wasn't an easy suspicion to live with, but she had ample time to contemplate it. If she could have talked to Peter again, she might have told him about it. Given the Nathan precedent, he obviously was the type to forgive mixed motives. But as it turned out, she never spoke to Peter again.
Simone hated hospitals. Not because of her father's death; her father had chosen to spend his last weeks in his home, after all, and it was his room that still smelled of him. Hospitals held no memories of her father for her. No, she hated them because of all the times she had collected Isaac from them, had hoped in vain that this time, he really wanted to get clean. Hospitals were filled with betrayed hopes.
Visiting Peter during the two weeks his coma lasted didn't change that association. It only added awkwardness. Every single time she came, one or several of the Petrellis were also there, and though she had met each of them individually before, notably Mrs. Petrelli, who was a friend of her father's, being in the same - small - room with them and Peter at the same time was new and an experience she could have done without. There was the shared physical resemblance, which up close was greater than she ever noticed before and made her feel like an alien. There was the way Mrs. Petrelli treated her as an agreeable new acquisition.
"I didn't have the chance to tell you this before," Mrs. Petrelli said, "but I am truly happy for you and Peter. You make such a lovely couple. Charles would be proud."
She made it sound as if the wedding was imminent when Simone had no idea how she felt about Peter, other than conflicted. She also made it sound as if the whole thing had been arranged instead of Simone following her instinct, which was truly disconcerting. In the end, Simone found she preferred dealing with Nathan. Making terse conversation fueled by mutual dislike was at least something genuine.
When he asked her to show him Isaac's other paintings, she wondered whether he truly wanted to find out about them, or whether it was just a way to make sure she would not be alone with Peter once he left. Which was probably just paranoia and projection on her part. After all, she knew why she agreed, his treatment of the last painting she had shown him notwithstanding.
As it turned out, Peter woke up and took off for parts unknown at the same time Isaac reentered her life, finally clean and obviously expecting her to take him back. At this point, something in Simone wanted to enter a nunnery, or at least take a very long vacation from any relationship, but she didn't have the luxury.
She was worried about Peter, had been worried since he had left for Texas, and by now the constant concern felt nearly as familiar as her old fear for Isaac. The worst thing about it was that there was no resolution in sight. Peter didn't call her, Peter didn't write; he could be dead in the streets somewhere or trying the hermit life in Tahiti for all she knew. At least with Isaac, it had never taken her long to find him when he had started to shoot up again. If Peter had contacted her, they could have talked about everything, they could have become a real couple, rather than two mourners who had come together for a single night so far, or they could have agreed to break it off because it had been too soon. They could have done something. As it was, she felt trapped, frozen in time at the point where she had sent Peter off to Texas.
It wasn't a question of choosing Isaac or Peter; it was a question of being unable to choose at all. Sometimes she thought she was in the process of becoming nothing more than yet another of Isaac's paintings, a figure whose movements would never be her own again.
It was time to try something radical.
"You need to go public," Simone told Nathan Petrelli, "call a press conference, tell everyone about Peter's condition."
It didn't surprise her that his first reaction was to decline.
"Let's tell them everything," she pressed. "Isaac painting the future, Hiro stopping time. Even you - what you all can do is incredible. It's time people know what's happening. The truth."
By now, his usual cool politeness towards her was changing into something she recognized from the time he had looked at Isaac's Homecoming painting. Well, there was no black paint he could throw on her.
"You think they'll burn you at the stake?" she challenged. He looked at her as if he had never seen her before. His voice was clipped and very precise when he replied:
"Yeah, pretty much. Because that's what I would do. I'd round us all up, stick us in a lab on some island in the middle of the ocean."
After being ordered around by him several times, after the various ways in which he had made it clear he regarded her as an intruder without ever saying as much out loud, she had wondered what it would feel like to have power over him. Whether it would make up for the increasing sense of passivity and helplessness his brother had given her. Now the moment was there, and it didn't feel satisfying at all.
The truth was that she couldn't risk it, plain and simple. She couldn't risk that he was right, that there would be a public witch hunt. You didn't gamble with people's lives and their freedom. Certainly not to have an out from your own personal dilemmas. A woman who could do this wasn't the one her father had raised her to be.
Still, there was no reason not to let Nathan worry a while longer. She felt petty enough for that, made a cutting remark about Peter seeing hope where Nathan saw disaster, and made her exit.
The awful thing was that she couldn't see hope anymore, either.
Simone had postponed dealing with her father's estate for a while now. There had been always more urgent things to distract her, and frankly, she hadn't felt up to it in addition to everything else. Now it looked like a good idea. At least it wouldn't have anything to do with Peter Petrelli, Isaac Mendez or the next step in human evolution.
Of all the assumptions she had made in recent weeks, this turned out to be the most misguided.
Finding photos that showed her father with her client, Mr. Linderman, a younger Angela Petrelli and some other people she did not know was somewhat disconcerting because neither her father nor Mr. Linderman had ever mentioned they knew each other. Perhaps there was a sensible explanation for this, but the fact nagged at her, and so Simone did something she usually would not have considered. She opened her father's email account, and typed Linderman's name in the search function.
This is how the world ends, she thought later, the fragment haunting her again and again, though she found herself unable to complete the quote. This is how the world ends.
It took her hours to read through the various mails, the majority of which were not addressed to Linderman himself; some were addressed to Angela Petrelli, others to strangers, but they all included Linderman's name, and they all painted a picture as stark and striking as anything Isaac had done.
The realization that her father had lied and kept secrets throughout her life was the least painful.
He had known about the coming explosion. He had known long before Isaac painted it, he had known for years. As opposed to the majority of his correspondents, he didn't think it was inevitable, but that was small comfort; he conceded that the chances of it happening were really high.
And he had not warned anyone. There were arguments about the Petrellis in his correspondence, a wry exchange with Linderman about which brother would "save us", but it never seemed to have occurred to her father to tell Peter any of this. A disaster that could kill millions of people, and he treated it like an intellectual chess game. Not something he had any responsibility to prevent.
He hadn't even thought of warning her. His own daughter. He had been willing to let her burn if he was wrong.
When she had finished throwing up, Simone made a copy of every message and burned them on a cd. She would go to Isaac, first; she owed him that. Isaac had been afraid he was insane because he kept seeing this, and it had nearly killed him while her father had kept his knowledge to himself and watched her believing the drugs had finally ruined Isaac for good. Then she'd go to the police. She would probably be dismissed as a lunatic at first, but hopefully, the emails, of which some were sent to and from a reputed mobster, would at least secure her some attention. Simone just knew she had to act.
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Sharp pain in her chest, Isaac stares at her in disbelief, gun in his hand, Peter appears out of nowhere to catch her, and all Simone can think of is that it wasn't that she fell for the wrong guy, repeatedly, it was that they did, too. They all fell for her father.
She tries to warn them, but there is blood in her mouth. They fuck you up, your mum and dad. Not so cheap after all, but really, so many people's lives at stake, and it's not the last thought she wants to have. She wants to think of something clever and helpful, but she can't. There is a deafening sound in her ears, a drum, a slowing drum, and if they are talking to her, she can't hear it.
There's the hope one of them will look in her handbag and find the cd, but that's not a huge hope. They're her boyfriends, after all. Her type.
Self destructive to the last.

It should also be know that you can do this with any iPhone 3Gs or newer running iOS 4.0 or higher. Voice controls have been in the phone for some time now, and calls could always be made from the lock screen even with a pass code. Funny it took Siri to make people realize this.
So if you press home while in a call, can you bypass the lock?
It should have an option to enable/disable phone calling with Siri when passcode is enable and leave everything else active for convenience.

From Craig Silverman, proprietor of www.RegretTheError.com, comes a lively journey through the history of media mistakes via a chronicle of funny, shocking, and often disturbing journalistic slip-ups. The errors—running the gamut from hilarious to tragic—include "Fuzzy Numbers" (when numbers and math undermine reporting) "Obiticide" (printing the obituary of a living person), and "Unintended Consequences" (typos and misidentifications that create a new, incorrect reality). While some of the errors are laugh-out-loud funny, the book also offers a serious investigation of contemporary journalism's lack of accountability to the public, and a rousing call to arms for all news organizations to mend their ways and reclaim the role of the press as honest voice of the people.

Giant Steps for a Software Upstart
Shoppers at Sherwin-Williams (SHW ) paint stores in the Cleveland area haven't realized it, but during the month of May, 2002, they've been key participants in an experiment by the Ohio-based paintmaker. In pilot tests, Sherwin-Williams replaced proprietary Unix software on computers that help customers match paint colors -- and that run its stores' retail sales systems -- with cheaper and more versatile Linux software. By May 23, Sherwin-Williams had seen enough: It announced that it will install the Linux operating system in its 2,500 stores in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
Sherwin-Williams expects to save millions of dollars per year: No longer will it have to pay a licensing, or subscription, fee for each computer the OS is installed on. And by adding on Linux-based e-mail and Web-browsing software -- both of which are essentially free -- it can avoid paying for Microsoft's Windows operating system.
Beyond that, is the flexibility of using open-source software -- whose core code Sherwin-Williams is welcome to customize to its needs. "The switch to Linux gives us access to better technology in the point-of-sale arena and ultimately provides better service to our customers," says Bill Thompson, director of information technology.
The Sherwin-Williams installation is one of the biggest Linux retail roll-outs to date, according to systems integrator IBM, whose Global Services unit will manage the project. It's also an indicator of the extent to which open-source software, formerly a fringe product, is working its way into Corporate America.
A lot has changed for Linux in the past two years. True, the basic tenets of the rebellious open-source software-development movement popularized by coder Linus Torvalds remain largely intact. Loosely organized collectives, often from competing companies, collaborate to build software products that no one owns, with source code that anyone can view and alter. Any changes in the code are held by the community at large.
While such idealism worked fine in academia and among uber-geeks, it wasn't immune to market economics as the movement matured. A slew of Linux startups have disappeared in the past two years during the crushing information-technology spending crunch. They were either bought out by bigger Linux companies or shuttered when venture capitalists lost interest in open-source and customers failed to appear quickly enough in sufficient numbers.
What's emerging now is an operating system -- the software that runs a computer's basic functions -- that's more reliable, consistent, and businesslike, approaching older and more robust forms of Unix in scalability and stability. Steady improvements to the code have come as big tech players such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard have thrown signficant research dollars at improving open-source software. In short, the Linux movement is not only growing up but it's also going mainstream.
The willingness of major companies to support and maintain Linux systems has also helped convince customers that they aren't taking a big risk by choosing open-source. And customer demand for Linux has convinced big hardware makers, including IBM, Dell, and HP, to ship boxes preloaded with it. More recently, software companies such as SAP, Veritas, and BEA have been promoting versions of their products that run on Linux.
Steve Ballmer has called Linux a "cancer" for undermining the software model
That's not to say big questions don't remain for both Linux and open-source. No one has come up with a business model that's consistently profitable. Despite casting a large shadow over the software industry -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has gone so far as to call Linux a "cancer" -- total revenues from sales of Linux products and services remain a tiny fraction of the software market. Linux and open-source also remain particularly weak in desktop software. For the vast majority of computer users, Linux is nothing more than a buzzword and a penguin icon named Tux.
Certainly, however, Linux now occupies a significant role in corporate computing. Look at the percentages of servers shipped by Dell that are preloaded with Linux. In 2001, they represented 8% to 10% of Dell's total server shipments, according to Randy Grove, vice-president for enterprise computing at Dell. That number should climb to 10% to 12% in 2002.
For hardware giant Compaq (consistently either No. 1 or No. 2 in servers shipped before its merger with HP), Linux is also playing a larger role. According to Peter Blackmore, executive vice-president of HP's enterprise systems group and former executive vice-president of sales at Compaq, 12% of customers purchasing Compaq Proliant servers now request Linux software. He thinks that number will move into the high teens through 2002 and 2003. "I think the market reality is it's here, and people have to absolutely embrace it," Blackmore says.
In some cases, make that a bear hug. In industry after industry, big companies are turning to Linux. Boeing's Phantom Works used customized Linux software to link a series of servers to perform tasks previously done on a supercomputer. At film studio Dreamworks, clustered Linux machines performed complicated graphics for the hit film Shrek. According to Dell's Grove, the shift started in this area of the Linux universe started last summer. "We began to see companies replace their supercomputers with clusters of Dell servers doing everything from drug modeling to geophysical analysis," he says.
Perhaps most important, Linux has started making inroads on Wall Street, a huge market. In April, 2002, CS First Boston converted its worldwide trading system to Linux. Merrill Lynch is likewise in the midst of a massive effort to replace Solaris servers with Linux.
A big part of Linux' success is what it can run these days. With so many big guns backing it, many large software companies have created versions of their products that work well on Linux. That means customers buying a Linux server can now choose between Oracle, IBM, and Sybase databases, and can pick between Apache or iPlanet Web servers. Sun's still-popular Solaris operating system has the edge in terms of total number of software titles designed for it. But Linux appears to be catching up fast.
More promising for the penguin-heads is the degree of involvement some of the big software shops are taking in open-source. Oracle worked closely with Red Hat to ensure that Red Hat's latest Linux product, Advanced Server, had specific capabilities that would please Oracle customers. Add up all these factors, and it's no surprise that IDC says Linux should be the fastest-growing server-operating system over the next several years. Its market share is expected to grow at a compounded annual clip of nearly 30%.
That doesn't include other business areas where Linux is showing significant promise. In embedded software, it's gaining ground among makers of everything from set-top cable-TV boxes to cell phones. They like the "slim profile" of Linux vs. other embedded systems, particularly for uses where computing resources are limited, such as in the circuit boards of next-generation cell phones.
Linux' dollar market share is still a paltry single digit
In the server-appliance business, mostly targeted at small-business and home-office users who want to easily network a few machines, Linux is quickly becoming the de facto operating system due to its low price -- $0 per copy. According to Sun Microsystems, unit sales of its Linux-powered Cobalt server are growing in excess of 25% per year.
Yet even after such stellar growth, Linux will pull in only $291 million in revenues for server-operating systems by 2006, IDC estimates. That's a paltry, single-digit percentage of revenues in a global market that was worth $10.6 billion in 2001.
As IDC analyst Al Gillen points out, the market clearly isn't large enough to support the various players, which include five major companies specializing in building Linux operating systems and untold numbers of newcomers distributing their own versions of Linux. "You'll see a combining of the players and a paring down," predicts Ransome Love, CEO of Caldera International, one of the five.
The other possibility is a stiff hike in prices, which is already starting to happen. In the past, versions of Linux conveniently packaged for easy installation (intrepid souls could piece together free but messy-to-install downloads) sold to businesses for $200 or less. German Linux-maker SuSE, another of the big five, now sells enterprise-software packages that offer far more capabilities than older, cheaper Linux ware for $1,000 and up.
Red Hat, the leading Linux vendor with approximately 20% market share, is selling a one-year license to use its Advanced Server at $800 a pop. Include service and support, and the tag goes up to $1,500 or $2,500 for round-the-clock assistance. "Ultimately, high-end open-source systems will cost as much as typical Unix systems," says Love.
Linux could end up with a subscription-based model
These high prices have already started to rankle the developers community that's the lifeblood of open-source. Particularly galling is when companies such as Red Hat refuse to release the integrated code of the products they sell and instead hand out the individual pieces, leaving it to savvy developers to build their own Linux system.
Thus far, however, such conflicts have been minimal. And the issue could go away as the entire software marketplace coalesces around subscription models that take upgrade burdens off corporate info-tech staffs -- albeit at a stiff price. "The concept of freely distributing binary code -- there's no economic value to that," opines Love. "It will be a subscription-based model that Linux will end up with."
That sounds much like the subscription model Sherwin-Williams moved away from with its shift to Linux. But the paintmaker remains unfazed. Why? because the flexibility of Linux means that Thompson can pick and choose his subscriptions as needed and build his own software configurations if he wants. That's particularly useful for Sherwin-Williams, which has a strong tech staff that feels comfortable tinkering with software.
The one area for Linux and open-source that has thus far been nearly a total flop is the desktop, including productivity software. Despite a flurry of activity, Linux has only recently appeared on the desktop radar, according to IDC. Some analysts think that will harm its ultimate adoption curve as big corporations opt for Microsoft's soup-to-nuts offerings. And the rough edges that Linux products still have -- limited support of peripherals, for example -- remain a turnoff for many buyers.
In fact, most hardware companies see Windows products also growing at the expense of higher-priced flavors of Unix. But top-end Unix still has a stronghold for some of the most resource-intensive computing practices, such as databases that run retail systems or record-keeping. (These are different than custom applications written for supercomputers, which is a growth market for Linux.) "What we're seeing in the market is that Windows is accelerating and Linux is accelerating," says HP's Blackmore. "In the very high end, you aren't seeing Linux as prevalent yet."
That doesn't much bother the proprietary Unix makers, as they're happy to continue raking in big bucks, while Linux does the dirty work of competing with Microsoft for the lower end of the market. And advances in Linux usability easily translates to Unix, which arose from basically the same source code and methodology. "It allows us to compete much more effectively with the Microsoft Windows proprietary environment than anybody else," says Vivek Mehra, vice-president of Sun's Cobalt division.
The performance gap between Linux and Unix should close in the next few years. The sheer speed of the upstart's advances, resulting from the collective-development approach, will overwhelm proprietary Unix efforts. Even HP's Blackmore admits that eventually Linux will show up everywhere. The next release is scheduled to double or triple its ability to cluster multiple servers so that they act like a single, more powerful machine.
And Linux desktop zealots maintain their day is coming soon. Ximian, a company that specializes in Linux desktop software such as word processing and e-mail clients, has just rolled out a software tool that lets its users connect to Microsoft Exchange, the predominant corporate e-mail server system.
Interest in desktop development continues to mushroom. Two years ago, the annual meeting of GNOME developers (one of several Linux desktop environments) drew 150 people, according to Nat Friedman, vice-president for product development at Ximian. Last year the conference drew 300. This year 800 eager coders showed up.
By many accounts, the latest versions of Linux desktop software are finally within striking range of the more polished Windows offerings. "These applications have become commoditized. They're not that complicated anymore," says Ximian CEO David Patrick. Does that mean we're headed for a Windowless world? Hardly. Linux systems will ultimately cost real money, and Microsoft will compete fiercely on price.
The same will be true in the server market, with Unix prices coming down to match Linux and Microsoft continuing to play a strong game. IDC believes market share for Windows server operating systems will grow from the low 40s to nearly 50% during 2002, mostly at the expense of Unix. And now Redmond is also focusing on Linux and trying to sway customers from open-source. Linux is "like someone giving you a puppy," says Peter Houston, senior director of the Windows Server Group at Microsoft. "It may be free, but you have to pay more to feed it and take care of it."
Still, from strange cult to common standard in less than a decade is no small feat. Underestimate the penguin battalions at your own risk.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this article included information on Mindbridge, an intranet software company that uses Linux. On June 10, we deleted the references to Mindbridge after it declined to reconfirm details about it that were in the original story.

Ed Miliband would seek as Labour leader to exploit divisions between Nick Clegg and backbench Liberal Democrat MPs, such as the party's former leader Sir Menzies Campbell, by offering to co-operate on issues such as university tuition fees.
In an attempt to prise apart the coalition ahead of May's local and devolved elections, Miliband today makes a "direct offer" to work with Lib Dem MPs in areas where they disagree with the Tories. The shadow energy and climate change secretary, who pledges to roll out a "big, wide welcome mat" to Lib Dem voters, says a joint effort could block any rise in university tuition fees endorsed by the Tories.
Miliband hopes to reach out to the likes of Campbell, who has indicated that he will rebel against the coalition if the government endorses a recommendation by Lord Browne, who is reviewing the future of university funding, in favour of increasing tuition fees. Under the coalition agreement, Lib Dem MPs are only entitled to abstain to indicate dissent in any Commons vote on tuition fees.
The offer from Miliband could strengthen the hand of Vince Cable, the Lib Dem business secretary, who supports a graduate tax. Miliband said he is willing to help Lib Dems push this through as an alternative way to "close the gap in university funding".
Miliband identifies two other areas where he could work with Lib Dems.
First, replacement of Trident: Labour would support the Lib Dems in demanding this is included in the strategic defence and security review. The Lib Dems, who argued against a like-for-like replacement of Trident during the election, are entitled in the coalition agreement to make the case for alternatives.
Second, prison reform: Labour under Ed Miliband would support liberalising changes by the justice secretary, Kenneth Clarke, and his Lib Dem deputy, Lord McNally, which are said to be alarming Downing Street.
The overture to the Lib Dems comes as the Labour leadership contest enters its final days before the ballot closes next Wednesday. In an email to party members, David Miliband declares that he is the only candidate who can beat David Cameron.
"Every candidate in this contest claims that they are going to win, it's what you do in campaigns," the shadow foreign secretary writes. "But ask me who I'd most like to beat and there is no contest – it's David Cameron. Poll after poll carried out during this contest has shown that I am the candidate who can beat David Cameron.
"I am ready to stand opposite him at prime minister's questions and expose the wrongs he's inflicting on the communities we care about. I'm ready to expose a Tory government as ruthless and rightwing as any of Thatcher's and win for the people we came into politics to serve. They need our values, our voice and, most of all, our victory. When we lose, they lose."

Apple's Maps Mess Boosts a Public Transit AppErica Ogg
When Apple chose not to include public transportation directions in the iPhone's new default Maps app, many city dwellers were pretty upset. But there's at least one guy who's really happy: David Hodge, founder and chief executive officer of Embark, a San Francisco startup that publishes a series of detailed public transit routing apps for iOS. Thanks to Apple's decision to build only car and walking directions into Maps, Hodge and his five-person team at Embark have seen their downloads spike since iOS 6 arrived in late September, and the company even landed a high-profile investor from the transportation world: BMW.
Embark is free, distributed as individual apps tailored to 12 major public transportation hubs in the U.S. and Europe. Prior to September, Embark had been available for nearly a year, but its apps remained well under the radar for most user. The arrival of Apple's new Maps app changed that: During the first week of the iOS 6 update, Embark was downloaded 100,000 times. It was a huge and sudden boost for Hodge and his team, and the post-iOS 6 boom has continued. Hodge wouldn't give me an updated figure on Embark's total number of downloads since then, but he says user sessions in the last two months have grown by a factor of 2.5 to 10 in all markets. Downloads have increased by near the same measure.
New York City, Embark's largest market, has more than doubled its user sessions since September. But the biggest growth area has been abroad: The app has 10 times as many users in London since then, after being available for 10 months prior to Apple's Maps debut. "Granted, London was a smaller market at the time for us," Hodge says. "But what iOS 6 proved was that if you had a good transit app, all of a sudden people would find it."
People are finding Embark because Apple has created a special section of its Maps app that recommends local transit apps. Embark is just one of these apps, with heavyweights including Navigon and Garmin providing big brand-name competition.
Users aren't the only ones who have discovered Embark since September. Potential investors came out of the woodwork too: BMW announced at an auto industry event last week that it has invested in the former Y Combinator startup. The German automaker did not disclose the amount it's put into Embark.
As far as what Embark is working on for BMW, Hodge won't say just yet. But he noted that BMW is looking at how all forms of transportation are an issue for big cities everywhere, something he referred to as "intermodal mobility." "They're talking about how people are driving to the train station, asking when will the train arrive," Hodge says. "That's one possibility."
What will be interesting is how Embark continues to fare as all-in-one mapping and routing solutions from more name-brand competitors begin to pop up. Nokia, for instance, is now selling its Here app on iOS with integrated transit directions—though early reviews weren't great. It did manage to beat Google to the iOS App Store, but it is widely assumed that Google will eventually bring its own Maps app to iOS 6. And that'll be tough to compete with: Google was the go-to public transit routing app for many users before Apple removed it as the default option.
But Hodge isn't spending too much time worrying about larger competitors. He really likes his chances as a small startup: "The biggest challenge we see in this space, for Nokia, for Google, Apple—they have to immediately go to scale when they launch," he says. "They can't perfect the formula; they have to do it everywhere at once." Hodge also says the fact that public transit directions in Nokia's San Francisco maps aren't very good reflects a "lack of focus." Considering the task at hand, however, of having to map every metro area at once, he says, "it's understandable."
Embark thinks its secret to success is getting the little things right. Like timing how fast people walk between subway stops in New York, or knowing which bus lines tend to be unreliable. Those details, which lead to accuracy and ease of use, are what the company believes will continue to win customers.
Although Embark is in just 12 markets, the company says it's happy it started small first. "We'd rather start by doing a great job in a few places" than be mediocre everywhere, Hodge says.
The influx of money from BMW is going to help with that. The first order of business? Expand to more markets.

Watch Divergent
It is the future. In order to preserve what is left of society, leaders have chosen to break it down into factions. Every person undergoes a test at the age of sixteen to determine the faction in which they belong. In the ideal society, each person has a tendency towards a particular faction. Some people are peaceful and happy, others are intelligent, and still others are built to be the fighters and protectors.
Beatrice takes the test at age sixteen. What happens when she does is totally unexpected: she shows an aptitude for more than one faction. The test proctor tells her that she is divergent and that she is not to tell anyone.
When it comes time to choose a faction she chooses to become part of the dauntless faction. These are the protectors and fighters of the society. They fear nothing. As she goes through initiation she begins finds others that are divergent.
War comes as people realize that society cannot be so easily classified and people want to survive. What will happen to Beatrice and her divergent friends? Can they survive? Will war destroy society or simply turn it in another direction? Divergent is an action packed, psychological science fiction movie.

Divergent News
The penultimate film in the franchise was a disappointment at the box office, and now its producers are changing course and setting their sights on TV for the final installment in the series.
Prepare yourself for some 3D post-apocalyptic goodness.
Floating, burning houses? What is going on here with Tris?
Say hello to your new Factionless leader! Naomi Watts has been cast in a major role in the upcoming "Divergent" sequels, as confirmed by THR. Watts' role will be that of Evelyn, the woman who becomes the leader of the Factionless, the population in the series' dystopian future who were not selected into, or failed out of, one of the city's five factions. The character of Evelyn has personal ties to some of the main protagonists, and the Factionless become a larger factor in the near-future Chicago's political landscape after the events of "Divergent,"
The jury's still out on the question of whether or not "Divergent" is a potential blockbuster franchise, but its studio is already behaving as if it is one. Like "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games," the three books of Veronica Roth's trilogy are going to multiply into four films.
The success of "Divergent" over the weekend was not unexpected, but the performance of a couple of other new movies provided some surprises. The lessons we learned: don't put too much faith in frog puppets, and don't underestimate the ticket-buying enthusiasm of religious "Duck Dynasty" fans.
The dystopian future YA movie market is approaching critical mass, what with the "The Hunger Games" gearing up for its final two movies and a whole new series starting soon with "The Maze Runner." But don't let that stop you from seeing "Divergent."
Before the release of every young-adult-franchise wannabe over the past year or two, everyone was certain that each of the films' ticket sales would be disappointing. No one's saying that about "Divergent," which has the best chance of any YA novel adaptation since "The Hunger Games" to be a hit.

I've gotta say I've noticed it too, though not always. When it does rear its head, it's often (surprisingly) by more established members, some of whom I've observed seem to be very well respected here. As I've seen mentioned by others, it comes across as a little "high nosed" which is a shame, because reading those people's other posts it's plain they have great experiences and knowledge to offer.
The other instance in which I usually see hostility are political or politically-charged responses. That one's actually ironic because as far as I know there shouldn't be political discussion on here, but especially when opinions are expressed reflecting something less stringent than the prevailing general view such like minded folks like ourselves tend to have, some ugly undertones come out.
At the end of the day though, all things considered this is a pretty good forum so long as you bring a few grains of salt. I don't post a ton, and sometimes it's a little grating to see some of the cranky bears do their thing or to see the political thing creep out in other conversation, but there's plenty of entertainment and knowledge to be gained.

Danny Boyle has declared Britain's Olympic spirit dead — just six months after the Games ended.
The Oscar-winning director who masterminded London's spectacular opening ceremony said the Olympic feel-good factor the event inspired has already been killed as families try to cope amid unemployment, economic difficulties and cuts.
He said it would be "naive" to believe that the impact on the nation's psyche could last, adding: "It's nice to have a fillip like that to feel good together, then you go back to your own private battles."
Boyle, 56, who turned down a knighthood for his efforts, said: "Obviously we are in tough economic times, which means it is difficult finding jobs for people.
"You can't keep hoping the optimism of the Games will last," he told The Sun.Reuse content

Great article, really enjoyed it. I think I had the pre-partum blues however 🙂 I just did not want another child. But now we are just delighted …
Anyone who has suffered from any form of postpartum depression knows that it is nothing to be taken lightly.
Knowing you are not alone, and that your feelings are not your fault, are important things to remember when trying to find a way to tackle your pain. Many mothers go through what you are experiencing now and want to help you make it through. It is OK to be honest about your feelings and seek help.
Here are some suggestions to help you find support and gain information in your journey. Many are simple and will only be helpful in mild cases. These ideas are not intended to be of use in very serious cases of depression or replace the assistance of a trained therapist.
If you are in need of serious and immediate help please reach out to your health care provider, a close friend or family member, or a group like Postpartum Support International right away. This national non-profit specializes in providing information, help and support for moms suffering from perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Their warmline is 1-800-944-4773.
Ideas for helping to ease postpartum depression.
Connect with others: Support groups can help you to feel more connected, but can also result in friendships that go beyond meeting times. Your life has changed and you will need to change and expand your friendships as well. Find support and resources in the Postpartum Depression forum on Mothering.com and look for local mom groups in your area, such as the Holistic Moms Network and La Leche League. If you cannot find a local group consider spending time at local parks or rec centers to meet other parents. Even just getting out of the house to run errands can ease the feeling of being alone.
Take time for yourself: It can seem impossible to find time to yourself when you have a new baby but try to arrange a bit of alone time now and then. Many moms forget how important this is or feel guilty wanting "me time." Keeping yourself sane and balanced is vital to being a healthy parent. If time to yourself is scarce, remember that even a 15-minute break in another room can be refreshing. Ask a family member to watch over baby for a bit of time every day, or take advantage of naps to unwind.
Talk to a therapist: A couple of sessions might make all the difference in the world. Don't be afraid to reach out–most health insurance plans will cover these sessions. If you don't have insurance call your county for help paying for a therapist.
Call for help: Post a phone number for a good parent stress line near the telephone. If you find yourself experiencing despair or intense anger, call. The people that man these lines are familiar with what you're going through and they can help. The Postpartum Support International Warmline is 1-800-944-4773.
Use aromatherapy: To raise your spirits, try combinations of ylang ylang, clary sage, geranium, and rose essential oils in an aromatherapy diffuser, or added to a hot bath. More information on aromatherapy for moms can be found here.
Try homeopathy: Ignatia and natrum muriatricum are good for weepiness and moodiness. Kail carbonicum is good for irritability and fatigue. The article Family Homeopath has some suggestions for postpartum moms. Other homeopathy articles can be found here.
Incorporate yoga and meditation: You might be surprised to find out how much a little exercise or meditation can help. Check out our Body & Soul section for articles.
Discover information: Read Mothering the Mother: The Importance of Postpartum Care from health expert Mat'at Grant and Losing It by Sarah R. Fields, a mom who experienced severe depression after her baby was born.
Most importantly, don't suffer alone. Look for help however you feel most comfortable.

"I haven't had a quote on See's Candy since we bought it in 1972 but I know the business is doing OK. I don't need a quote on it." -- Warren Buffett
CMGI May Take Over Lycos
Internet investment firm CMGI Inc. (Nasdaq: CMGI) may offer to buy Internet portal Lycos outright to prevent the company from completing a planned acquisition by USA Networks (Nasdaq: USAI), a deal CMGI says is "inadequate" for Lycos shareholders. As Lycos' largest shareholder with a roughly 20% stake, CMGI has hired investment bank Morgan Stanley Dean Witter to seek other possible buyers or merger partners, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A CMGI takeover of Lycos isn't as far-fetched an idea now as it would've seemed a month ago, when Lycos announced plans to merge with USA Networks' Home Shopping Network, Ticketmaster, Internet Shopping Network/First Auction, and Ticketmaster Online-Citysearch (Nasdaq: TMCS) to form a new venture called USA/Lycos Interactive Networks Inc. At that time, Lycos had a market capitalization of around $5.3 billion, about $1 billion more than CMGI. Today, CMGI's market cap has soared to some $9 billion, while Lycos shares are now valued at about $4 billion.
Lycos shares, which closed as high as $103 1/4 right after the merger announcement, dropped nearly $20 in value, or 19%, to $83 7/8 Monday, before CMGI Chairman David Wetherell resigned from Lycos' board of directors to "explore the best options available to Lycos shareholders." Disappointed by the USA deal, Lycos investors had been hoping that the company would obtain a merger bid at a significant premium to the company's market price, similar to the roughly 90% premium @Home (Nasdaq: ATHM) agreed to pay for portal Excite (Nasdaq: XCIT) in late January.

This is a discussion on Men's Wearhouse within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Thanks for the information. Very good to know....

When you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
It's nice to see a couple of people up North with me who've had good experiences. Last time I went to get fit I left my rig in the car and asked for the fit I needed to accommodate. Typically in the NE it's not very well received.
I looked them up on the web and sent them a MSG that because of their gun policy they would get my business the next time I purchased a suit.
I've been going to Men's Wearhouse for many years for many good reasons. One of them that is tops on my list is their CCW friendliness. Another huge reason is due an experience I had with them a couple of years ago.
I found myself across the country with a sudden and urgent need for a suit for business purposes. I called the nearest store and gave them my name and told them of my urgent need and what I was looking for. They asked if my dimensions had varied since my last visit (they store this information in their database) and asked when I would be in to pick it up. When I told them that I needed it within an hour, they simply replied "OK, no problem, see you soon."
When I arrived, I was met at the door and treated like I owned the place. They ushered me to a large table where several suits, shirts and tie combinations were arranged. I picked out what I wanted and tried everything on for fit. After that, they made some minor temporary adjustments and steam pressed everything and I was on my way. From the time I entered until the time I left took a total of 30 minutes. They even told me to stop by ANY store when I had more time to not only make the alterations permanent, but that they would also add my CCW alterations....FREE OF CHARGE!!!!
Yet one more bonus: I usually have to rely on my wife when I'm getting dressed to get the color combinations right without looking like an idiot. I can go in there without my wife and tell them that I need three sets of sport coats, pants,shirts and ties and that I need them to be completely interchangeable. It's just like Garanimals...just match the tags and you can't go wrong. They're amazing!!!
They've got me for life.

Since I am now retired, I no longer have much need for suits and sport coats, but if I do need one in the future for some reason, I will be sure to head to MW. There are a couple of them in this area and I see their ads on TV all the time. I'll be sure to put in a good word for them with any of my friends who are still stuck wearing the "monkey suits" to work.

Same here locally. About 8 years ago, I went into our local MW to look at sportcoats. Before I tried one on, I told the young clerk I was carrying, and that it was legal. He said, "No problem." I was wearing a Glock Model 32 in a Sparks IWB on my right, and a spare mag and flashlight in a Rosen pouch on the left. I pulled off my jacket and tried on the new one. The young man said, "I thought you said you were carrying a gun?" Right in front of his nose, after being told to expect it, he didn't see it. I am no Ninja, so this is why I tell people I'll testify that the "ordinary observation of a reasonable person" is piss-poor. I still like Men's Wearhouse a lot, despite their cheesy commercials.
I had the same thing happen to me when ordering suits. As someone said, they get all my business.
Pics or it didn't happen....J/K.
MW has always been great to me. I have never divulged carry status to them.
Speak softly, and carry a big stick.
I went in to pick up our suits and I told the Asst. Manager that I had posted my experience on the internet. She told me that she doesn't think that people shouldn't carry guns, but the 'guys upstairs" made it very clear that CCW friendly is store policy and not open to discussion.

One thing I forgot to mention in my original post in this thread...I'm tall, and dress shirts an be hard to find outside of basic colors (blue, white, etc)...
MW has the best selection of tall shirts and long ties...the best...
I can always find numerous color combinations in my size...

Cordelia, thought the Princess, would love nothing more than to provoke a princess to fight. The Princess wouldn't give Cordelia the satisfaction.
Finally cutting Cordelia's throat wasn't what she needed to do. Focus on what you need, her father always said, not on what you want.
She hadn't wanted to be a princess and she didn't see how she or anyone could need her to be. The Princess sighed and stared into the woods. Cordelia's house behind her. Not doubt Cordelia was watching, but the Princess wouldn't turn to see.
Night fell early in the woods. The Princess pulled her black cloak tighter and chose her path. She wished she had a way to know if the wolves were hungry.

text: Hey, been lurking these forums for some time, but now have an issue I really need help with. I have a 2003 Jetta 1.8T with around 67K miles which has been fine up until a couple months ago. Recently, the car has been having starting issues. In particular, and at random, the car won't start. It will crank, spark, pump fuel, but won't start. It originally threw a code saying the engine speed sensor was messed up, so I replaced that with a new part. Also in the past couple months, the coil packs and the coolant temp sensor have been replaced. Now, no DTC's are thrown during scans, but the car still won't start. Battery has been tested as good as well. Anyone have any ideas?

Technical Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate RPA201772 and glufosinate combinations for weed control in conventionally tilled corn. The study was established at the University of Illinois South Farm, Urbana. The soil was a Drummer silty-clay loam with a pH of 6.1 and 5.5% organic matter. Dekalb 493 glufosinate resistant corn was planted 1.5 inches deep on May 28 in 30 inch rows. Treatments were arranged in randomized complete blocks with three replications of plots 7.5 by 30 feet. Herbicides were applied with a CO2 backpack sprayer delivering 20 gpa and equipped with 8003 flat fan nozzles for preemergence applications and 8002 flat fan nozzles for postemergence applications. Plots were not cultivated after planting. Corn tolerance was excellent to the postemergence applications of glufosinate. Some injury was seen from preemergence applications of RPA201772 prior to postemergence applications of glufosinate, but did not persist throughout the growing season. Postemergence applications of glufosinate applied alone gave adequate control of all weed species at all rates tested. Weed densities were high and spray coverage was probably an issue. Applying RPA201772 preemergence followed by glufosinate gave good to excellent control in almost all rate combinations tested. In most cases the combination equaled or exceeded the control ratings for the two standard postemergence treatments of glufosinate plus atrazine or the sequential application of glufosinate.

If you are fair skinned enough that you struggle to find blush shades that work for you, Tenderling is great. It really is so light that even if I have a little color on my skin, it is no longer dark enough for me. This blush works great in the dead of winter!
Here's the blush in my hand... products always look so different in a palm versus on a white background!
The formulation of Tenderling is really great. It is pigmented, blends easily, and the sheertone finish keeps it from looking too matte or chalky. This could also work as a contour color on some complexions!
Overall, I recommend this to people with fair to light complexions! It's subtle color makes it a great everyday blush for a "no-makeup", natural look.
What is your favorite natural looking blush?
xx, Allison

pushing FAO to maintain its present policies — from dam builders and irrigation engineers to agrochemical corporations and farm machinery manufacturers. For them, the intensification of agriculture in the Third World is a bonanza — a bonanza mined at the expense of the poor and of future generations. Your job should surely be to fight the naked opportunism of such industrial lobbies, not to industrialize agriculture on their behalf. Third World farmers do not need FAO's expertise. They know more about farming their land than your "experts" do. If they have a need for an organization such as FAO it is to take up the cudgels against those who would undermine their livelihoods, to tackle those issues that they cannot tackle by themselves. You should be taking up the battle to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, not promoting an agriculture which will increase them. You should be fighting to prevent land and water resources being hijacked for non-agricultural uses, not pushing for
the expansion of industry. You should be fighting to prevent the food resources of the underfed being exported to feed the already overfed, not seeking to boost export crops.
But instead of making common cause with the farmers you say FAO seeks to support, you have consistently bowed to industrial interests. No doubt, their support — and particularly that of the multinationals — has gained FAO powerful political allies: no doubt, too, it has proved of great value in increasing your own personal power and influence. But it is not you, nor your employees, who have had to pay the price: it is the poor and hungry whose lives have been blighted — and, all too often, ended — as a result of your policies. That is why we we are launching this campaign.

Modern Etiquette: The Power of Referrals
By Pamela Eyring
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Attention job seekers! One of the best ways to get your foot in the door for a job interview is to get a job referral, or two.
And it doesn't stop there: according to StartWire.com, one of the web's top sites for job searching, "Referrals are the #1 source of hires in corporate America today. And, recent research shows that 'referral' hires not only stay in their jobs longer but that they perform better over the long term."
If you're new at asking for a referral, or if you're unsure if you're using the correct approach, here are a few tips to keep in mind.
Use your mouse.
A good place to start looking is by going online and using LinkedIn.
Search by company name, then click on the company you're interested in. You'll see a list of contacts in your network who may be able to help.
Try a soft touch.
If your current employer knows you're job hunting, ask and ask early but don't come on like gangbusters. A gentle approach is often best and you don't have to wait for your next in-person meeting. The important thing is to ask, so feel free to get started by sending an email or bringing it up during a phone call. Continued...
