The Takeaway
Chinese Vice-President Xi Jingping Visits the US
Chinese vice president Xi Jinping, the man expected to become China's top leader in the fall, is in Washington this week as part of a five-day trip to the U.S. The visit is expected to set the tone for bilateral relations over the next decade, particularly where economic ties are concerned. On Wednesday, he'll head to the city of Muscantine, Iowa, to reunite with a family he visited there in 1985 and to sign a trade agreement with soybean farmers there.
James Fallows is a national correspondent for Atlantic Magazine, and has reported on China extensively. Kirk Leeds is CEO of the Iowa Soybean Association.

A pointless poll. Every state is different depending on how permits are issued. It is what it is.
This is a discussion on Concealed Carry Permit Processing Times - With Poll within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So, I've had my WA permit for quite some time, but recently decided to branch out more and get my OR and AZ permit to ...
Awesome, under 1 month
Meh, Between 1 and 3 months
Argh, Between 3 and 6 months
Aaah, Between 6 months and a year
Holy Hell! Over a year
So, I've had my WA permit for quite some time, but recently decided to branch out more and get my OR and AZ permit to better cover me while traveling. I pretty much just used HandgunLaw.us to see which permits I could get that would cover me the best without spending a fortune.
Anyway, I was just thinking about wait times and figured I'd start a little poll about how long you had to wait for yours. Would also like to discuss which states are having the longest wait times and which are the quickest.
When I got my WA permit, it was simple and I had it 3 weeks time. We don't need a class to qualify, just go in for fingerprints and fill out the paperwork.
When I applied for my OR permit a couple months ago, they sent me an appointment date for August, which at the time was 6 months away. This is after taking the required class, writing the necessary letter explaining my reasons for needing to concealed carry, and sending in my paperwork. I will still need to be fingerprinted and background checked to get the permit, so I may get it by Christmas.
Shortly after that I took the class for the AZ permit, requested the paperwork, got my fingerprints done locally and then sent it all in. This was about 2 weeks ago, so I guess I'm just waiting to get the permit.
A pointless poll. Every state is different depending on how permits are issued. It is what it is.

Well, thanks for your opinion, but I'm just curious what wait times are like around the country. I've seen several different discussions specific to individual states, just kinda wanted to discuss it as a whole. This isn't meant to be a scientific study to determine how long someone else's wait time will be.
I didnt think it a big deal just open carry. That was until everything went downhill. Took my class end of Feb. scheduled for July 10 to see sheriff for prints and to start Backgrounds.
This is crazy. doesnt help I live in Mecklenburg County!!

-Benjamin Franklin
Here's how the process is going for me here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts (I voted 3 to 6 months, could argue 6 months to a year based on when clock started):
- Called to apply on 1/21 (here you have to go in to meet your local Chief of Police)
- Given an appointment date of 4/28, just to apply!
- Applied with fingerprints, pic, etc. on 4/28
- I was told to expect a 3 month wait, so assume 7/28
And in MA, you cannot legally own ANYTHING until you have the license. No guns, no ammo, nada. I can't even shoot at a range unless I'm a guest of someone with a license. Oh, and getting an LTC here (our version of CCP) doesn't even guarantee you can carry outside of your home. It is up to the local PD/licensing officer to put "Restrictions" on your license such as Target, Sporting, Hunting, etc. Luckily my town is "green", meaning I won't have any restrictions.
Sorry to derail the thread, but if you start the clock when I first called, it's 6 months to a year. If you start it when I applied, then 3-6 months.
You're going to love this! I recently filed for my CCW permit renewal, the Clerk of the Court said it was taking the full 45 days. So, I thought I'd just sit back and wait.
Six, thats right Six days later (drop of at courthouse to my mailbox) the new permit shows up.
You got to love rural counties in Virginia.
Don't believe what you hear and only half of what you see!

SD - temporary permit back from the sheriff in under a week, printed card from the state usually in 2-3 weeks. State law requires it be in your hands within 30 days.
AZ - my nonresident permit was in my hands 2 weeks after mailing, back in October. I've seen reports of it taking over 30 days lately.
The only common sense gun legislation was written about 226 years ago.
I carry always not because I go places trouble is likely, but because trouble has a habit of not staying in its assigned zone.
NH non-resident permit took about 30-35 days from time I mailed it until I had the permit in hand (earlier this year). I can't comment on Mass, as my last LTC renewal was over 5 years ago. Think it took about 3 months. I plan to do my paperwork 4-5 months ahead of expiration early next year.

About 7 days to renew this time. I was told a routine BGC had to be done even tho I've had my CC close to 30 years. That's why it took 7 days. $32 for 5 years.
I voted "Less Than 1 Month" because there is no option for '10 Minutes Or Less'.
I LOVE Alabama!
Edited To Add: We don't have to show proof of training, either.
State of Iowa shall issue. Walk into sheriffs office, give proof of taking cc class, give them 50 bucks for 5 yrs, fill out form while they run you through system, return form, get piccy taken, 5 minutes later out the door. Same day, takes 5-10 minutes.
NH - 2 week maximum shall issue. You can sue if it takes longer.
Original application took less than 30 days, each renewal took about 2 weeks. Missouri is friendly.

Ohio in my county was just over 3 weeks. I have heard other counties take the full 45 days
My permit was issued in 1791 and immediately took effect when I turned 16

~Book Update~
There isn't a LOT to report, but I'm SUPER excited that I'm finally getting a wee bit of time to work on my writing again. My plan is to published an ebook novella sequel to Sandwich later this year. I have a total of 3 ebook novella's planned.
I still have two full-length non-Sandwich books I'm polishing to put into the fabulous hands of my literary agent, Rachelle Gardner, but am focusing on that first Novella right now. Edits are in full swing, and then my fabulous crit partner will get her hands on it and help me find any more issues!
I'm also working on ideas for the cover, which I'm SUPER excited about as well.
At the moment, the titles of the ebooks will be:
A Side of Faith
A Side of Hope
A Side of Love
I also have a fourth small novelty book Sandwich related planned, for pure fun! It tells you a bit of Allie's story, which many readers have asked to hear!
My current goal is to release the first novella maybe August/September-ish, but that is a goal, not a plan, at this point:-)
So in other words, STAY TUNED! I so appreciate all of your support. A writer is worthless without readers!!
Since it's book day, let's talk about BOOKS. What's the last book YOU read--- or book you're currently reading?
Also, if you've never gotten a chance to read Sandwich, With a Side of Romance, it's available right now on Amazon for less than $7.00 for both paperback and ebook!

This may sound super silly, but I'm reading the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I never read them as a child (Gasp!), so I'm doing it now. :) I ordered them for Jackson, but I'm reading them first. :)
Glad to hear there's more KP lit on the way. ;) I'm ready to proof, chickadee!

SSuper excited to read more from you!!! I loved your first book and eagerly waiting for more!! You are a talented author!

Wall Clock
Erosion & Typography 4by Jason Permenter
Available in natural wood, black or white frames, our 10" diameter unique Wall Clocks feature a high-impact plexiglass crystal face and a backside hook for easy hanging. Choose black or white hands to match your wall clock frame and art design choice. Clock sits 1.75" deep and requires 1 AA battery (not included).
Why? I'm a geologist turned designer, so it only made sense to combine both worlds. This print is fourth in a series of four, each of which explores the effects of erosion and weathering on the printed word.
The text itself is taken from a 1971 essay on experimental typography by the German designer and typographer Wolfgang Weingart, and is set in the Univers typeface. Univers was designed from 1954-57 by Adrian Frutiger, and is completely bad-ass.

Fulham boss Martin Jol has sounded a note of caution over their Premier League match at Crystal Palace tonight, claiming Ian Holloway's boys have greater potential than their lowly position on the table would suggest.
Crystal Palace have just three points from their first seven games since their return to the top flight, with only Sunderland keeping them off the foot of the table.
However, Jol does not believe the statistics tell the full story about Holloway's managerial skills.
"I remember Ian Holloway doing an unbelievable job at Blackpool. He played a different system, a very progressive 4-3-3 and he did it again with Crystal Palace," said the Dutchman.
"So I still feel that the man is doing a good job, but the results are not going for them.
"It's not easy to go away from home to play against these teams. But I think we've got the players and the quality to get the result.
"They [Crystal Palace] need the points as well and it's the Barclays Premier League, so it will be difficult," he said.
Fulham themselves need points, with only seven from seven matches so far this season.
Their form has naturally led to reports that Jol's job at Craven Cottage is under threat, with speculation rife after their 2-1 loss to Cardiff in September.
Their most recent outing - a 1-0 home victory over Stoke - helped subdue the tempers of frustrated fans somewhat, and Jol knows another win could see them jump to mid-table and turn their season around.
"We've got a great team spirit. The only problem we have is we had an indifferent result against Cardiff, but Cardiff beat Manchester City as well. So they're all strong these teams," he said.
"But we will fight like other teams and we will try to get the results like other teams and you will have good spells and bad spells, especially clubs like Fulham.
"All the other bottom 10 clubs, they will all have the same spells as we do. And I think for the top clubs, and there are six now in England - it's no longer a top four, it will be difficult to get into this top six," he said.
Dimitar Berbatov is expected to take to the pitch having used the international break to get over a knock he picked up against Stoke, while Scott Parker could make a welcome return to Fulham's midfield if he's recovered from his calf problem.
Aaron Hughes is also expected to return after a few weeks off the pitch with a thigh injury.

There is no better way to prepare for the party season than by dying your hair. Not only is it a great morale booster, but it's more cost efficient than buying a new outfit, and will update your look instantly. After a quick flick through the pages of Black Hair & Beauty magazine for inspiration, it's clear that colour is big news - from subtle browns to full-on pillar-box reds. And yet colour is a relatively new phenomenon, says Black Hair & Beauty's editor, Irene Shelly. "There aren't really any expert colourists for black hair yet, because it's not been pushed that much by the industry. If hair was already processed and straightened, it meant it had had a lot of chemical treatments, so it was felt it would be too much for the hair to then add colour on top. Colour has only become popular over the last few years as the other products have become more gentle."
Afro hair is the most porous of the three types (Caucasian and Oriental are the other two, Oriental being the least porous, which is why it's so flat and shiny) which means it takes colour very quickly. "We use colour like a make-up artist uses make-up; to accentuate your features," says Daniel Galvin, arguably the nation's top colourist. "Just going one or two shades lighter brings out the tone of the skin and makes the eyes look strong and bright."
But because the hair is so dark, for most colours to show up the hair needs to be bleached, and this can be a problem. "I'd never recommend bleaching Afro hair, unless it is very short," says Galvin. "The roots need to be done every month, and you can't help but reach the line where you bleached before. This dries the hair out even more, and can lead to breakage. It's fine if the hair is very short, because you just shave it off and start again." On styles longer than an inch, go for what Galvin calls the shoeshine effect: "Just colour the tips, so that when the light shines through the hair, you get a wonderful sunburst effect - that's a great look for the party season." And remember one thing, adds Galvin, no matter how great the colour, if your hair is in poor condition it will never look good: "Your hair is your ultimate beauty asset - treat it like a fine cashmere sweater."

I think the thing that bothers me most is the idea of engineering right on the edge leaving no room for a safety factor. Extra thin wall castings, powder pressed con rods, plastic engine components etc. Overheat it once and you can kiss it all goodbye, turn it 100 rpm beyond redline and it all unravels etc. A good example is the 9" Ford axle, way overbuilt for the application but thank God they did. I like to have components a little heavier than required to account for the inevitable overload that will occur. Personally I could live with a car being a few pounds heavier if it was built to last and take some punishment. I think this is why trucks have become so popular, everyone is tired of buying disposable vehicles that can't take a 5 MPH hit in a parking lot without the steering wheel exploding in your face and the $1000 foam bumpers coming apart like a stuffed toy. I will rejoice in the day when I can actually buy a car that has chromed steel bumpers again. A non aerodynamic fin or two or stylish tailight wouldn't hurt either, really is this what we have to look forward to-jellybeans! You know my buddy has a 2002 Chevy ZR2 truck and it gets between 14-18 MPG with the 4.3, my 69 Mustang 351W tuned properly with the 3.0 axle got 16-18 even with the 290 duration cam and autolite 4 barrel. This is progress?
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

Swimming in Dillon Reservoir a weighty decision
May 16, 2012
A decision has yet to be made as to whether Denver Water will allow swimming in Dillon Reservoir this summer.
It's been a topic of conversation for the Dillon Reservoir Recreation Area Committee since the municipal water agency announced in a Feb. 22 letter that there are no longer water-quality concerns associated with human contact in the water supply. They're considering swimming, wading and windsurfing as permitted activities, and could pass a resolution as soon as July 4.
In the letter, Denver Water officials said they'd be open to changes in the management approach at Dillon Reservoir "in light of treatment plant improvements." However, it advised any changes would have significant impacts on Summit County agencies, and recommended full evaluation before changes are made.
"In the 1980s, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment issued a guidance that discouraged body contact in water supply reservoirs," Denver Water spokeswoman Stacy Chesney said. "Since then, that state guidance has been repealed, and water treatment processes have improved."
There's still the question of whether and to what degree Dillon Reservoir should be open to swimming, Chesney said.
"Like any recreational activity, the possibility of swimming, especially at altitude in very cold water, should be carefully evaluated with regard to public safety and resource requirements and, if allowed, should be managed responsibly."
The water agency has said any changes in water contact activity are a decision to be made by the committee, comprised of Dillon and Frisco municipal representatives Bob Evans and Bonnie Moinet as well as Summit County Open Space and Trails director Brian Lorch, Howard Scott from the U.S. Forest Service and Neil Sperandeo of Denver Water. The Summit County Sheriff's Office is represented by Cale Osborn, and a handful of other representatives sit into meetings.
SCUBA diving and snorkeling were considered, but may be taken off the list because of potential security concerns with Denver Water infrastructure as well as safety concerns with underwater cables.
The committee discussed the possibility of allowing water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing and jet-skiing, but all were taken off the table due to bureaucracy that requires a master plan amendment for new facilities or new uses that could have environmental impacts or could alter the character of the reservoir. None of the committee representatives' agencies have volunteered to sponsor the master plan amendment process.
According to notes from previous meetings, committee members agree water contact activity is permissible and desirable, so long as the dam, glory hole, Robert's Tunnel, defined areas at the marinas and the Frisco channel remain off-limits.
The decision would include allowing special events, like triathlons, to take place in the reservoir. Frisco officials wanted to kick off a triathlon event this summer, but turned it into a duathlon (bike and run) due to the uncertainty of the decision.
Committee members want to determine the extent to which activities would tax county and municipal resources, such as patrolling for safety and compliance with rules. There's also the question of how such activities would interface with other water sports like sailing and recreational boating and any other associated liability. A wet or dry suit requirement to protect against the cold water may be put into place, but Moinet said it's not likely at this point.
The Sheriff's Office is ready to act as soon as this summer, anticipating increased costs of patrol and training which would be funded by the committee, meeting notes state.
The July 4 decision may be pushed back. Committee members want to hold an open house to showcase the proposal and accept public feedback, and proper maps and signage must be put into place following any decision. A capacity study must also be done to determine the limits of special event permitting.
"There are numerous issues that the board needs to address," Moinet said. "It seems like more questions come up than answers. We certainly want to proceed with caution."
Recent action taken to modify the activities allowed in the reservoir includes the 2009 resolution allowed for paddle boarding and wade fishing in the reservoir.
The discussion continues at the next meeting. They are held regularly at about 8:30 a.m. on the third Tuesday of each month, typically at Frisco Town Hall. The next is on June 19. All meetings are open to the public and have an opportunity for public comment.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX rises, reversing earlier losses; Hudson's Bay jumps
(Updates throughout with market reaction and strategist comment)
* TSX up 7.78 points, or 0.05 percent, to 14,748.93
* Six of the TSX's 10 main groups were down
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO, June 15 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index held steady on Monday, paring earlier losses, as sectors like the influential materials group, turned positive, offsetting a retreat by other groups including energy.
Hudson's Bay Co was among the biggest gainers, surging 9.5 percent to C$26.28 after the Canadian department store operator said it was buying German chain Kaufhof from Metro for 2.8 billion euros ($3.2 billion).
The deal also includes an arrangement with Simon Property Group to buy at least 40 of Kaufhof's properties for C$3.3 billion.
The overall consumer discretionary group remained lower, however, slipping 0.3 percent.
At 10:55 a.m. EDT (1455 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index rose 7.78 points, or 0.05 percent, to 14,748.93, after spending much of the morning session deep in the red. Continued...

On a limited budget, or just busy? Buy a ticket to just one session. Plenty of time? Spend the whole weekend checking out the likes of international stars Paco Guzman and Fabio Guiffre, expats Jill Dupleix, Ben O'Donoghue and Curtis Stone, and locals including George Biron, Guy Grossi or The Age Good Food Guide Chef of the Year Teage Ezard.
Want wine? Try sessions such as "Suck on This" or "The Really, Really Posh Serious Tasting" (yes, they've had a bit of fun putting this program together).
Free events at Federation Square during Masters on the Move include Farm Fresh - a riverside version of the monthly farmers' market usually held at the Collingwood Children's Farm - on the Saturday, a regional producers' showcase inside the square's glass atrium throughout the weekend, and a special exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria.
The festival's new general manager, Natalie O'Brien, said this year's program was aimed at involving people with limited time or limited funds and those new to Masterclass.
"We want to open it up to an audience who hasn't been before but who have an interest in food and wine - they can just buy one ticket and get a taste of it . . . and even if you don't do a class, you can see a foodie film, or buy some fresh asparagus at the farmers' market," she said.
Ms O'Brien said feedback from Masterclass attendees, media and others showed that what people needed was flexibility.
More than 3500 people are expected to attend Masters on the Move classes, with thousands more likely to visit other events during the weekend.
- The brochure for Masters on the Move will be released next Saturday. Visit melbfoodwinefest.com.au, or call the festival office on 9823 6100. Bookings open the same day. The program for other Food and Wine Festival events will be inserted in The Age on February 18.

Many malicious attacks are detected too late, if at all. A seasoned
hacker won't necessarily leave a "Hacked!" note on your company's home
page and they often tamper with the system's log files to hide the
traces of their break-in.. Financial and military organizations are
particularly prone to these types of break-ins where hackers install an
eavesdropping agent (e.g., a packet sniffer or a Trojan horse) or a
virus on the target host. What can you do to avoid this from happening?
First, remember that prevention is the best defense. Make sure that
your system doesn't have any weak links that hackers can exploit:
usernames without passwords, short or easy-to-guess passwords, or
poorly configured authorizations. Still, these measures are useless
once a hacker has already broken into the system and installed
malicious code. What can you do now?
Object reconciliation is a reliable technique for detecting malicious
code on your system. Object reconciliation is a process in which system
objects such as files, directories, and devices are compared against
themselves on an earlier date. A system administrator stores snapshot
information of the system and uses that information to compare the
system's state at a later stage. Although backups can be used for this
purpose, comparing complete files takes a long time. A better technique
is to store only the checksum values of the system's files.
For example, suppose you have a file called "defragment" that contains
a disk defragmentation program. After installing the system, you
collected the checksum values of all existing files,
including "defragment", and stored these values in a special database.
Later, a hacker brakes into the system and tampers with this file.
Consequently, an object reconciliation process will detect that the
tampered file's checksum is different from its original checksum.
Clearly, something is wrong here. You can delete the file and restore
the original one from a safe backup.
Object reconciliation must be performed regularly. Furthermore, storing
the checksum database on read-only media is advisable. The best time to
create the checksum database is right after the system has been
Currently, several object reconciliation tools are available for Linux.
Most of them use the MD5 algorithm to compute a file's checksum as a
128-bit "fingerprint". One such tool is AIDE (Advanced Intrusion
Detection Environment), which is a GPL replacement for Tripwire(TM).

Sometimes a pat on the back also gives you a kick in the butt. It never hurts to have some fuel tossed on the the fire of the passion you are pursuing. That is how I feel about Alder Yarrow's article about me and Cornerstone Cellars on Vinography.
I knew going in it would be a challenge to market Napa Valley wines made in a more elegant style. Certainly it would have been easier to just make a massive wine, slathering on oak and alcohol in a style many critics adore, but where is the pleasure in making wines you don't like to drink?
When we started releasing our more restrained style of Napa Valley wines we took our lumps from Laube and Parker, which, proudly puts us in a sort of elite club with some very fine winemakers whose vision we share. However, rejection by the old boys club has been more than countered by the likes of this exciting article in Vinography and excellent reviews in Connoisseurs Guide to California Wines, Stephen Tanzer and a host of wine bloggers.
It's easy to make wines that get big points from the old guard, you can hire a consulting company that guarantees results point-wise (do they charge by the point?). But is it really easier? Does scamming the system just to get those points really bring you satisfaction? Maybe for some, but not for me.
What brings me satisfaction is tasting a wine we created and having it excite and thrill, well, me. What brings me even more satisfaction is seeing someone else have that experience too.
It also brings true satisfaction to have someone I respect as much as Alder write such a, for me, moving article on the work we are doing at Cornerstone Cellars. Please take the time to read his article at the link below.
Vinography by Alder Yarrow: Building a foundation the right way, the wines of Cornerstone Cellars
"Cornerstone continues to evolve, but like the rapidly shortening line of a tether ball accelerating towards the pole, the wines of Cornerstone are beginning to gravitate towards a quality and consistency that is quite admirable, and the equal of any of Napa's stalwart producers. Camp and Keene seem to be laying the foundation for becoming a fixture in the valley. Their Yountville tasting room has already become one of the town's most visited, and thanks to Camp, the winery has quickly become among the most successful industry players in social media and new internet technologies such as geofencing.
It has been a great pleasure watching Cornerstone Cellars coalesce over the past few years, and it will be even more fun watching it shift into high-gear now that it has seemingly settled into a comfortable groove. If you don't know these wines, I highly recommend you find some of the 2010s in particular."

Voices rippled from chantey to roundelay and back to chantey again.
That wan't no rum and woman song, that was the old 'Whisky, Johnny' chantey.
Then, far across the harbor, I heard the great voice of a chantey man singing while the crew heaved at the windlass.
The song or chantey was familiar to deep-sea sailors many years ago.
He was piecing out the chantey and fitting words to it, and succeeding rather well.

Enjoy the games, and Go Broncos!
1:38am ET - Denver gets back to within three points following an Orton TD pass to Lance Ball. 23-20 Oakland
1:09am ET - Oakland turns a dreadful fumble by Kyle Orton into a TD from Jason Campbell. 23-13 Raiders
12:53am ET - Another RZ failure, but Matt Prater gets the Broncos within 3 points with another FG. 16-13 Oakland
12:24am ET - Eric Decker brings a punt back 90 yards for a TD to bring the Broncos back into the game. 16-10 Oakland
12:06am ET - Jason Elam can thank Kevin Vickerson and his personal foul facemask penalty for allowing Sebastian Janikowski the chance to tie Elam and Tom Dempsey for the longest FG in NFL history at 63 yards. Oakland leads 16-3 at halftime.
11:56pm ET - Oakland adds another FG and leads 13-3 with 1:27 remaining in the first half
11:43pm ET - Prater slices a 56-yard FG attempt well right; Oakland up 10-3 with the ball on their own 46
11:18pm ET - Following a Knowshon Moreno fumble, the Raiders tack on a FG to make it 10-7 Oakland
11:07pm ET - 7-3 Oakland following a play-action pass to Marcel Reese for a TD
10:57pm ET - Doom is already back in the game, and creating havoc via false starts
10:50pm ET - Elvis Dumervil has an injury to his left shoulder and is questionable to return
The kickoff for tonight's game has been pushed back to 25 past the hour.
Inactive for Denver are DT Marcus Thomas, WR Demaryius Thomas, NT Ty Warren, LB D.J. Williams, OL Tony Hills, OL Manny Ramirez, and DE Derrick Harvey. The absence of Marcus Thomas and Ty Warren is likely behind the decision to sit Harvey and dress DT Mitch Unrein. Meanwhile, inactive for Oakland are WR Louis Murphy, S Mike Mitchell, LB Bruce Davis, G Bruce Campbell, WR Derek Hagan, TE David Ausberry, and TE Kevin Boss. Hagan is something of a surprise, as he had been listed as probable and joins Murphy and Boss among key receiving targets missing tonight for the Raiders.
Notable inactives for the Pats are RT Sebastian Vollmer, LB Brandon Spikes, and QB Ryan Mallett. Meanwhile, DT Albert Haynesworth will be active for New England while RB Larry Johnson will be active for Miami in place of the injured Daniel Thomas.

FMI predicts U.S. total construction will just about reach 2003 levels next year
October 10, 2011
FMI Corp.'s latest construction forecast calls for 2 percent growth in 2011 overall, and 6 percent growth in 2012. In today's economy that sounds like ambitious growth, but in constant 2006 dollars, it represents only 3 percent growth for 2012 and a 1 percent drop in construction for 2011. In 2012, U.S. total construction will just about return to 2003 levels in current dollars, according to an FMI release.
Breaking nonresidential buildings down by type, FMI predicts the following:
- Lodging construction will drop 16 percent in 2011 to $10 billion and show some signs of growth at 4 percent for 2012.
- Office construction is highly dependent on employment, and it will take several years until there is enough employment growth to spur new construction. This segment will drop another 5 percent in 2011, compared to a 32 percent drop in 2010, with some improvement expected in 2012 to get to the $45.5 billion mark.
- Health care construction will grow only 2 percent in 2011 and is forecast to grow 3 percent in 2012. This is a drop from the previous forecast.
- Education construction put in place was down 13 percent in 2010, so a reduction of only 2 percent for 2011 and a forecast of 4 percent growth for 2012 is welcome. Other than 2010, school construction has been holding up well during the recession, but the current cuts in state and federal budgets threaten another downturn.
- Religious construction lost another 4 percent in 2011 and will continue to be weak in 2012.
- After holding up well with projects under way, public safety construction lost 8 percent in 2010, another 4 percent in 2011 and will drop 3 percent again in 2012 to around $12 billion.

BP Agrees To Set Up $20 Billion Claims Fund
After 57 days, millions upon millions of gallons of oil spilled, and under intense pressure from President "I will make them pay" Obama, BP has agreed to set up a $20 billion fund to help out those affected by the worst environmental disaster in the history of the United States. The company also pledged to suspend payments to shareholders and vowed to compensate oil workers for lost wages.
All the payouts will be supervised by Kenneth Feinberg, the same guy who oversaw September 11th money dispersal. The announcement came after Obama met up with BP executives who later appeared before reporters to "apologize to the American people." It didn't go so smooth however, and all the politicians—many of whom's pockets have been greased (pun intended) by big oil—puffed out their chests as they questioned BP's Tony Hayward. "With all due respect, Mr. Hayward, I think you're copping out," said Representative Phil Gringrey of Georgia. "You're the captain of the ship," he added.
Speaking of the "captain of the ship", who was in charge of the Deepwater Horizon? Without excusing Mr. Hayward, he wasn't the one running day-today operations out there. In my opinion, the dude who was in charge that fateful day should be in jail right now.

Is a great upgrade for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 core processors.
Extends computer performance enough to last another few years for only the cost of the processor.
Cons: None if you are replacing an old processor and can reuse the rest of the system.
Other Thoughts: I used this as a drop-in replacement for an Athlon II x4 640 processor. The performance jump is amazing. Since my motherboard has an AM3+ socket, it "just worked". This is an amazingly cheap upgrade for a 4+ year old system.
As long as you have an AM3+ motherboard, this upgrade is a no brainer.
This review is from: CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model TW3X4G1333C9A G
Pros: Worked. After reading about so many people having issues with various motherboard and RAM combinations, I was pleased when I had no problems at all.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: This was my first DDR3 purchase. I went with Corsair, because I have had good experiences with them in the past. I was not disappointed.
I haven't tried to over clock them yet, but working at stock speeds from the begining is great.

Hundreds are expected to gather in Medford, OR, on Friday July 18 through Sunday, July 20 for the World Mission Conference of American Baptist International Ministries. The conference will is hosted by the American Baptist Churches of Oregon and Eastwood Baptist Church of Medford. It will be held at the Medford Red Lion Hotel.
Eastwood Church expects people from many churches from Oregon and beyond. The event will feature 20 workshops, and ten missionaries or international guests from many countries, including Lebanon, Costa Rica, Congo, Thailand, Nepal and Brazil, among other countries.
International Ministries Executive Director Reid Trulson said he was grateful for the opportunity to partner with Eastwood and the ABC region to bring the story of world mission to Oregon.
"Churches like Eastwood are central to what International Ministries is all about," said Trulson. "Almost 200 years ago, Baptist churches just like Eastwood and others came together all across the United States and said we can make a big difference in this world if we work together," Trulson said. "Today, thousands of churches are still vital partners, along with over 200 national churches and organizations with which we work around the world, sending more than 2,500 short- and long-term missionaries, including wonderful people from the Eastwood Church."
The surprises of people working together to share good news and meet human needs will be the focus on the weekend-long celebration of teaching, worship and interaction.
Several people on the local organizing committee have spent time in Lebanon, where missionaries Dan and Sarah Chetti work at the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary in Beirut. The Chettis have a powerful testimony of how they remained in Lebanon even during recent periods of war between militant extremist group Hezbollah and Israel, and recent violence between Hezbollah and government forces. Dan Buttry, an American Baptist global consultant for peace issues, will also share, having recently returned from Lebanon to participate in a Christian-Muslim dialogue at the seminary.
There will be a special opportunity for attendees to hear from Duane Binkley, a missionary who splits his time between Thailand and the United States, doing work with refugees. Binkley helps ethnic minorities who have fled Myanmar, a country in Southeast Asia, get out of refugee camps along the Thai-Myanmar border and relocate in the United States. "Because of the experience of these refugees, our government is giving more and more of them the opportunity to find a new life in the U.S.," said Binkley. "The surprise for many Americans is that many of these refugees are Christians, and when they come to the U.S. they look for the closest church, and churches are seeing their congregations transformed in welcoming their new Christian sisters and brothers."
Binkley, who speaks the ethnic languages of groups coming to the U.S., will share with those who attend the conference how they can best prepare to help these refugees make the adjustment to life in the U.S.
Registration for the conference is $70 for adults, $60 for youth and students and $40 for kids. Child care will be provided. Get a $10 discount by registering online at www.worldmissionconference.org. Separately, you may call 1-800-222-3872 for more information.
American Baptist International Ministries, organized in 1814, is the oldest Baptist mission agency formed in North America. We serve more than 2,500 short-term and long-term missionaries annually, bringing U.S. and Puerto Rico churches together with partners in 76 countries in cutting-edge ministries that tell the good news of Jesus Christ while meeting human needs.

"Our wedding cake was amazing! Nancy at Ferrara Bakery was so nice to work with, she really listened to what we wanted and followed up with emails and phone calls. The staff were wonderful and accommodating on short notice, even letting us taste different cakes on a busy evening when we stopped in without an appointment! The cake itself was amazing, moist and delicious, and we also ordered several dozen mini cannolis, our favorite, which were fabulous! Highly recommend this bakery!"

NASCAR cools on Confederate flag, but fans still fly it
By Barbara Liston
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - NASCAR wants to limit the Confederate battle flag's presence at its tracks after the murder of nine black worshippers in South Carolina, but getting U.S. motor racing fans to comply may prove difficult.
On the eve of a big holiday race weekend in Daytona Beach, David Childress was among those who ignored the call and packed a t-shirt festooned with the Civil War-era flag for his trip to the world-famous Florida racetrack.
"I don't think you're supposed to cherish it, but don't forget it," said Childress, 61, from Mississippi, who said he owns six Confederate flags.
The June 17 killings at a Charleston bible-study group have prompted politicians and businesses to try to banish the flag, widely viewed as a symbol of slavery, after photos of the white man charged in the shooting showed him posing with it.
NASCAR and track owner Daytona International Speedway Corp have not banned the flag at the track where it remains popular among motor racing's strongly southern, White and conservative fan base.
Instead, race organizer and owner NASCAR and its 30 affiliated tracks on Thursday asked fans not to bring the flags to races.
"This is an opportunity for NASCAR Nation to demonstrate its sense of mutual respect and acceptance for all who attend our events," it said.
For fans who ignore the request, NASCAR is offering to exchange Confederate flags for the stars and stripes to honor U.S. Independence Day at Daytona Beach. Continued...

It was a glittering occasion at the Prime Minister's residence at Kirribilli last Friday night. Kevin Rudd entertained about 100 of the most influential foreign policy makers in the Asia-Pacific, gathered in Sydney to discuss the Rudd initiative for an Asia-Pacific community.
Rudd recounted the criminality in his background. Way back in 1788 one Thomas Rudd was jailed for stealing a pair of shoes.
Suggesting that the Indians there would appreciate the way British justice worked in colonial days, Rudd recounted the Old Bailey trial in which Thomas Rudd was accused by a maid, and the maid seemed an honest girl, so Rudd was transported to Australia for seven years.
Rudd went back to England in 1795 but was arrested and sent for trial at the Old Bailey again in 1799, becoming, in the present-day Rudd's words "perhaps the only convict in all our history to be transported twice". "This criminality," Rudd said, "was a great training for politics." All the Asians laughed.
Rudd had a touch, a word, a phrase, for almost every nationality, and many of the individuals, in the audience. I have never heard Rudd to better effect.
When Rudd first announced the Asia-Pacific community idea 18 months ago, I thought it was under-prepared and there had been insufficient consultation with key players in the region. Moreover, the idea of a new regional body when we already have so many ineffective bodies, seemed improbable. But the debate has now evolved so that Rudd is sponsoring a region-wide conversation not on a new body, but on how to rationalise and improve the existing institutions.
Receive email alerts
Rudd's justification is that no existing body deals with both security and economic issues and brings together all the main players, by which he means the US, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and the 10 nations of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The debate on this has become complex and tricky but the prevailing consensus at the conference, and across the region, is that the institutional arrangements need repair.
The two main ideas now are either expand APEC by adding India and allow it to deal explicitly with security as well as economics, or expand the East Asia Summit by bringing in the US and Russia.
Under George W. Bush, Washington did well in Asia, but its one weakness was regional architecture. Condoleezza Rice didn't even attend two of the ASEAN foreign ministers' meetings on her watch.
Barack Obama's Asia team came into office with the clear idea that they wanted to be much more involved in regional architecture. The US signed ASEAN's Treaty of Amity and Co-operation, and Obama said the US wanted to be much more closely associated with the EAS.
Then Japan's new Prime Minister, Yukio Hatoyama, suggested an Asian community which might not include America. US-Japan diplomacy is extraordinarily intense and complex right now.
The whole nature of the US-Japan alliance is potentially up for grabs. Washington has been energetic in trying to bed down its alliance with Japan. The Hatoyama suggestion has suddenly made the Rudd idea absolute top of the pops in Washington.
Then there is China. Undoubtedly Beijing's preferred regional organisation at the moment is ASEAN plus three (China, Japan, South Korea). For the Chinese this has the wonderful attribute of excluding America, India and us. However, the Chinese are signalling a willingness to go along with the APC. They want a good relationship with the US, with India, and even with us.
South Korea has been the most important backer of the APC idea. Rudd spoke to South Korea's President, Lee Myung-bak, about this at the East Asia summit in Thailand recently.
Lee expressed regret that he couldn't get to Rudd's conference himself, but sent as his special envoy the former South Korean prime minister and foreign minister, Han Sung Soo. Han's lunchtime address on the Friday was a landmark.
Han made two key judgments: first, that the current regional architecture must be restructured; second, that the region should establish an eminent persons' group to suggest ways to do it.
Australia's old friend, Singapore, is the most hostile to the whole enterprise, and this was evident in the discussions in Sydney. Singapore is seriously disgruntled that it is not a member of the G20 and it sees the Asia-Pacific community idea as moving the centre of regional institutional gravity away from ASEAN, where it often leads.
But the hard truth, and I say this with regret as one who has loved and written about ASEAN for decades, is that ASEAN is at a low ebb. It cannot seriously pretend that it sets any international norms when it has Burma as a member in good standing. And the economic story has moved north and west, as has the security story.
The two states which most obviously represent some sort of ASEAN success at the moment, in their vastly different ways, are Indonesia and Vietnam.
The Singaporeans are also worried that the Indonesians may pursue a broader policy, leading ASEAN but also moving beyond ASEAN. Indonesia is a member of the G20 and increasingly a big player on the global stage. Notwithstanding Singapore's hesitations, the most enlightened minds in ASEAN see the APC as a way of keeping ASEAN in the action. If ASEAN insists on dominating, then the APC could take a form even less agreeable to the Singaporeans.
I wouldn't be surprised if Rudd and Lee put their heads together, even as soon as the sidelines of the Copenhagen summit, and, so long as they have Jakarta's support, convene an eminent persons' group. One of Rudd's strategic ambitions is to secure the US in the region. This may not be the sexiest issue in international affairs, but it is intensely important. It may be the fruit of a criminal mind, or at least a criminal gene, but, like a convict on a ticket-of-leave, it is gaining respectability.

General Assembly - Fédération française de la Couture - 20 January 2011
The General Assembly of the Fédération de la Couture took place on June 15, 2010 at Laurent and:
- elected the houses Anne Valérie Hash, represented by Anne-Valérie Hash, and Dries Van Noten, represented by Sylvie Coumau, to the Supervisory Board. So they joined current board members Agnès b., Chanel, Chloé, Christian Dior, Hermès, Isabel Marant, Issey Miyake, Jean Paul Gaultier, Kenzo, Lanvin, Pierre Cardin, Sonia Rykiel and Yves Saint Laurent.
- re-elected unanimously Didier Grumbach President of the Fédération française de la Couture.
The meeting was also an opportunity to go over different initiatives spearheaded by the Fédération which allowed Paris to maintain its leadership as the capital of fashion and creativity :
I - The opening of the Haute Couture calendar not only to young designers via the "invited member" process but also to Haute Joaillerie (fine jewelry) houses.
II - The growing internationalization of women's and men's fashion weeks which has led to an increasing number of special events and showrooms from foreign companies. This not only makes the offer of Paris fashion weeks very rich and diverse but also gives credibility to the argument that they should be "long".
III - The numerous measures undertaken to help young brands, including financial support (Mode & Finance investment fund, subsidies from DEFI) ; special events (Festival d'Hyères ; the Fédération's "En Avant-Première" internet platform which shows collections online, special events abroad) or business consulting.
This General Assembly also highlighted the members' deep commitment to launching of the 4th year of the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne's course of study, in the context of preserving the know-how and skills of the profession. The members of the Fédération also praised the future address of the school.

Pavel Pogrebnyak's stroke gave Brian McDermott's Reading their second Barclays Premier League win of the season at the expense of West Ham - and gave them hope of pulling off a great escape.
That was West Bromwich Albion's anthem when they became the only Premier League team to survive being bottom at Christmas and eight years on Reading hope it is ripe for a revival.
The Royals are still in trouble but off the bottom after securing their second win of the season in their 20th game. Though five points adrift of safety successive clean sheets have provided an injection of hope.
They will not, though, find many more accommodating opponents than James Collins, whose scuffed back-pass gifted Pavel Pogrebnyak the fifth-minute winner, and Ricardo Vaz Te, who spurned the chance to equalise when he headed wide of an open goal.
Reading's desperation for points was evident. Cheered by a home support more interested in the end than the means they headed for the corner flag to waste time with five minutes still remaining in this scrappy contest. When the whistle finally went the relief was evident in the stands and on the pitch. "It was a real resilient performance," said Reading manager Brian McDermott. "It was a physical game but we matched them. It gives us a lot of confidence."
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce said: "James Collins makes a basic error, they take advantage, then Vaz Te misses the easiest chance you will ever see. You make mistakes like that you lose matches."
Collins, he added, would not even be able to atone for the error on Tuesday as, like Kevin Nolan, he will be suspended after being booked yesterday.
The centre-half was perhaps too relaxed as he handed Reading their first goal in more than three hours' football after four minutes. Like much of the match it was an error-strewn affair. Pogrebnyak (below) failed to control Ian Harte's chipped pass and the ball ran to Collins whose casual back-pass was catastrophically under-hit.
The Russian converted the chance with a composure that belied a two-month drought since his last strike
It was Collins' second such error having served Michu a similar goal at Swansea City in August. "I never thought I'd see him do it again," said Allardyce, adding "he's distraught, but the lads should have got him out of the mire."
It was Collins himself who came closest to doing so in the first half, bringing a finger-tip save from Adam Federici as he met Matt Jarvis' 24th minute cross. Otherwise football took second pace to the settling of feuds with several challenges on midfielder Jimmy Kébé, who has previous with the Hammers, setting the scene.
Ultimately referee Michael Oliver, using his yellow cards liberally, just about kept control of the match. With the hosts feeling the effects of their Boxing Day endeavours, more space appeared after the break and West Ham began to look more dangerous going forward.
Carlton Cole headed over, Federici turned Jack Collision's shot aside then, after midfielder Jem Karacan rattled the bar in a rare Reading foray, Vaz Te somehow steered a free header from a Jarvis cross wide from four yards out. "If we score then they panic and we could easily go on to win," said Allardyce "We don't and we lose."
Reading (4-2-3-1): Federici; Gunter, Pearce, Mariappa, Harte; Karacan, Leigertwood; Kébé (Robson-Kanu, 76), Guthrie (Hunt, 64), McAnuff; Pogrebnyak.
West Ham (4-2-3-1): Jaaskelainen, Tomkins, Collins, Reid, O'Brien; O'Neil (Vaz Te, 66), Noble (Maiga, 79); Taylor (Collison, 54), Nolan, Jarvis; Cole.

Roscoe (About playing a villain which is Roscoe's trademark): It's hard to write good characters with complexities. The good characters usually seem to be reacting to something and it's the bad characters that are making the story move and I like to be part of that. I've been semi-good on a couple of shows. I started off bad on one and I got to make everything happen, then I turned good and everything happened to me. I'd rather... I like being bad.
Roscoe (About his daughter Alberta): She's very funny, extremely compassionate, wise beyond her years. She's not just a little girl, she's already a real person. I'm always happy when I'm with her.
Roscoe (After being fired from ABC's soap opera All My Children in 1997): It was hard on me, hard on my family, hard on anybody who had anything to do with me. And I have paid dearly in just about every way you can imagine.
Roscoe (About leaving the cast of The Young and the Restless): It's been a hell of a ride. I'll miss so many great people throughout the studio, on every level of production. My thanks and best wishes to all.
