Larry King- Polanski murdered Sharon Tate!
Larry King did a segment on Roman Polanski on January 6. Following is the transcript of that segment. King lost his mind when he interviewed Sharon Tate's sister, Debra, and stated to Debra that Roman murdered her sister. It's in the transcript, read it! And there is as whole lot more.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Roman was already an established film director. Everybody knew him.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He was the Roman Polanski.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The future was hit, he thought. And then everything just collapsed.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He didn't perceive having intercourse with a 13-year-old girl as against the law.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The fact of Polanski leaving the country seems to have eclipsed what happened to the system of justice?
KING: That was a clip from the HBO documentary "Roman Polanski, Wanted And Desired." Polanski, the 76-year-old movie director still a wanted man. He pled guilty in August of 1967 to having unlawful sex with a then 13-year-old girl. He was 43 at the time. Prosecutors in LA dropped the charges in exchange for a guilty plea. He fled the United States before sentencing and is currently in Switzerland under house arrest.
Polanski's victim, Samantha Geimer, was on the show in 2003, and here is what she had to say then about Polanski and his possible jail time.
KING: In retrospect, would you have been upset at the plea bargain to time served? In other words, Roman Polanski goes free after 45 days?
SAMANTHA GEIMER, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY POLANSKI: We were — everybody was really comfortable with that.
KING: Your mother was happy with it?
GEIMER: I never even asked him to be put in jail.
KING: Your father was happy with it?
GEIMER: I don't know about that. I didn't talk with him about it.
KING: You don't think he deserved more time in jail.
GEIMER: No, and the publicity was so traumatic and horrible that his punishment was secondary to just getting this whole thing to stop.
KING: Others will join us later. We begin with Lawrence Silver. Larry is the attorney for Samantha Geimer, Polanski's rape victim. He and his client want the case against Roman Polanski dismissed. What happened in court today?
LAWRENCE SILVER, ATTORNEY FOR POLANSKI'S VICTIM: What happened today was that Polanski asked that, consistent with what the court of appeal had suggested in their December decision, that he be sentenced in absentia, and that will allow a hearing on the allegations pretty well established by the documentary that there was judicious, as well as prosecutorial impropriety.
KING: So they're asking — they sentence him to a year, tow years, three years, whatever, while he is not there.
SILVER: To sentence him absentia. One of the arguments, I suspect, is that he's already been sentenced and that this judge should merely confirm the sentence which was reached.
KING: What did this judge rule today?
SILVER: He ordered briefing on the issue and set a hearing for January 22nd.
KING: What does your client want?
SILVER: My client wants the case over. She has been enduring 32 years of relatively intense press coverage and interference with an effort to put this behind her and get it behind her. After 32 years, I think she is entitled to that.
KING: Since she is the victim, why isn't she almost automatically acquiesced to? Don't they listen to her?
SILVER: Apparently not.
KING: Do you make an argument?
SILVER: I have argued before the trial court and the court of appeal that the matter should be dismissed. He was supposed to be sentenced to time served, then the judge changed his mind, frankly, because of concerns of how the press would view him. And then, as a result, Polanski fled. And it's been just a long period of time for her to endure and her family to endure the pendancy of this case.
Had it been someone else, perhaps, it would have been gone and forgotten, probably except by her, but not because of the great publicity that this case seems to engender.
KING: Legally, Larry, what do you think is going to happen? SILVER: Well, the court of appeals is very strong about the fact that there ought to be a prompt and quick resolution of the matter. And the court of appeals was also strong that there ought to be a full hearing. And this plea or request to be sentenced in absentia should result in a hearing. And then the court can decide what to do as a result of what is clearly judicial impropriety, as well as prosecutorial impropriety.
KING: When come back, Larry Silver will be joined by Debra Tate, Roman Polanski's former sister in law, the sister of Sharon Tate, brutally murdered that night. Don't go away.
KING: Joining Lawrence Silver with us now is Debra Tate, Roman Polanski's former sister in law, the sister of the late Sharon Tate. On a persona note, I knew Sharon Tate. I had interviewed her a couple of months before her tragic murder. What do you want to see happen?
DEBRA TATE, FMR. SISTER IN LAW OF ROMAN POLANSKI: I would like to see this whole thing go away. I think that there has been a lot of time that has passed and we need to bring it to an end.
KING: Have you ever talked to Roman Polanski?
TATE: I have.
KING: How can you have a civil conversation with someone who so brutally murdered your sister?
TATE: Roman didn't murder my sister.
KING: I'm sorry. When the fact that he would have this terrible thing happen to him after the death of your sister, to once again focus you into the public light. That's what I meant.
TATE: I don't have any problems with Roman whatsoever. The actions that he took back then has logic that doesn't necessarily play out by the law, in my opinion. There are extenuating circumstances to this whole thing that have to do with legal improprieties. That is much bigger to me than the original offense.
KING: Did your sister love him?
TATE: Absolutely.
KING: And he loved her.
TATE: Absolutely.
KING: How was he doing when you spoke to him?
TATE: He was very concerned. He was very humble. He — you know, he thinks that this is a tragic situation. Now he sees it a little differently perhaps. And that is purely my take on things. He didn't say it verbatim, but I could hear it in his voice. KING: Was there an age difference between Sharon and Roman?
TATE: Yes, there was.
KING: How much?
TATE: Ten years.
KING: That's light by his standards, because he's been married to his current wife for 21 years. I believe he met her when he was 15.
TATE: Fifteen, 16 Years old.
KING: He had a romantic relationship with Nastassja Kinski when she was 15.
TATE: That's correct.
KING: You think he has an attraction for younger women?
TATE: I think in France it's a normal way of life. It's very well known that it's a right of passage. Younger women with older men, older women with younger men.
KING: Do you understand why people might not look favorably on it?
TATE: I absolutely do understand. I am a victim's rights advocate, and I deal with a lot of women that have truly been raped. I do understand it completely.
But this is just slightly different. And it's not up to me to bring that to public light. But there are circumstances that make it ever so slightly different than a full rape.
KING: Do you know Samantha Geimer, Larry's client?
TATE: I have never met her. Never.
KING: What do you make of her feelings?
TATE: Her feelings I absolutely understand, 100 percent. She's a mother. She's got her own children. This has got to put her, at this point in time, in a very uncomfortable position at best. And I think that it's very inappropriate on behalf of the LA DA's office, who I work with often, to pursue this case, especially in this fiscal climate. Perhaps there is an end we can reach without spending two million dollars on a trial, which is what it would usually cost.
KING: Why do you think they are so intent on this, Lawrence?
SILVER: It's hard to figure. The prior prosecutor in the case certainly, Roger Gunson (ph), a really a wonderful human being, was quite understanding of the desire of my client and her family to end this thing, even back in 1977. And that intelligence hasn't passed on.
KING: Where were you the night Sharon was killed?
TATE: I was supposed to be at Sharon's house. But a phone call, circumstances changed, and I stayed at my mother's home.
KING: You never get over that.
TATE: Never. Actually, I've never — I get victimized in way or another over and over and over again.
KING: Did you talk to Roman soon after that?
TATE: Absolutely. Roman and I remained very close for many, many years. We still are. I flew to London and testified in her majesty's high court against "Conde Nast Magazine." He won that. I went to Paris and spent some time with them. It's like time lapsed.
KING: Does she have a happy marriage now?
TATE: He has a wonderful wife, happy marriage. Beautiful, bright, brilliant children.

Wow Larry King messed up big time! Everyone knows that the Manson Family killed Sharon Tate, not Roman Polanski. And everyone knows this happened in 1969. Epic fail on Larry's part!
Comment by Kevin | August 23, 2010 |
Christopher Jones, is an American character actor. 1968 cult classic Wild in the Streets (costarring Shelley Winters.)
Jones also became friends with actress *Sharon Tate* and her husband *Roman Polanski*. He claimed later to have had an affair with Tate (while she was pregnant with Polanski's child), and to have had a premonition of her death, before she was murdered by members of the Manson family.
This and the death of Sharon Tate took a personal toll on Jones, who returned from Ireland to California after filming ended (staying for a time in the caretaker's cottage behind the house where Tate had died), and abandoned his acting career…

Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day to all of our loyal female readers. Thanks for putting up with us for the last several years. Since we are once again about to embark on another season of talking NASCAR TV, we are letting this day rest in complete peace.
As you ponder the upcoming racing season, I wonder if perhaps you have a NASCAR Valentine's Day wish you might choose to pass along. Have a great day!

Love the photo! Now who is that $3 marked down gift for? A guy who loves Danica or his girlfriend, and what would she think if she gets this??

Yes, JD, I love that photo except in our house, it's not Valentine's Day, it's Mikey's birthday! And I've been hearing that for over 20 years. Happy Valentine's Day to my fellow Planeteers!

Thanks for the laugh!
I've given up trying to figure out her demographics. I just see all kinds of people wearing her stuff, young, old, male, female.
BTW, a few weeks ago I saw Digger stuff marked down 75% at Amazon.

Geez, if Walmart can't sell Danica-branded stuff without the "super-markdown" red sticker, what does that say about her "brand"?

With the 500 being moved what about all those great Valentines day themed cars we used to see from some of the privateers during speedweeks?? Those will be missed

What my Valentine wish is to see a bump and run by any driver on Danican't, and the ensueing spat. I would LOVE to see a driver actually get out of there car and APPROACH her like they do to every other driver, and watch the officials handle THAT one! Man, that would be funny!

With today's additions, the number of collections on FamilySearch's Historical Record Collections (formerly Record Search Pilot) has reached 500. The 500th collection is the Netherlands, Civil Registrations, 1792-1952, with 2,085 records. The number of records is somewhat misleading, since the collection contains images of the records of civil births, marriages, marriage intentions, marriage proclamations, marriage supplements, deaths, and 10-year indexes and contains 7,860,411 images. This addition also brings to eight, the number of collections for the Netherlands.
The list of records gives you some idea of the breadth of records that will continue to appear. Even though the list of collections has a entry labeled "Records" where there is a number for each collection, the number of records is not the same as the number of images or names contained on the images. For example, like the Netherlands mentioned above, Alabama Births and christenings, 1881-1930 is listed as having 5,563 records but by clicking on the entry you can see that the collection actually contains 203,254 records, but recent records may not be displayed.
This free collection of records taken from scans of the FamilySearch Family History Library microfilm collection, has moved from being a mildly interesting site to becoming a phenomena. Already, even though only a small percentage of the holdings of the Family History Library have been digitized and loaded online, the collection covers an astounding amount of information.


text: As I was coming down a nice sweeping downhill lefthander on scenic Hwy 9 BOOM!!!! White smoke and blue blood everywhere. My upper radiator hose mount exploded. I shut it down in the curve and coasted to a stop in a church parking lot and sat for a couple of hours until friends could come get the family and I. Then the ultimate insult the WIFE used her Dodge truck and a car trailer to haul my BMW home. I don't see how at @85k miles a radiator blows. The wife's dodge 90k miles 1998 model no cooling problems, it replaced a 1974 dodge that my cousin still has no cooling problems, It replaced a 1953 Dodge that when it finally rusted to death in the 80's had the original cooling system. If Dodge can build that good of a radiator when they are rated almost last in consumer satisfaction why can BMW the pinnacle of engineering not build a decent cooling system? Time to get off my soapbox and drain my oil and coolant. Hopefully from 2 different places

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 18, 2013) - The current U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Weekly update released on March 18 includes briefs on U.S. players.
KLINEMAN WITH ITALY'S ASYSTEL McCARNAGHI VILLA CORTESE: Alix Klineman (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) returns to the Italian Serie A1 for a second season, but will compete for Asystel McCarnaghi Villa Cortese in 2012-2013. Villa Cortese upset regular season leader Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio 25-21, 23-25, 25-22, 19-25, 15-11 in the Italian Serie A1 Cup semifinal round on March 16. Klineman notched 17 kills on 48 attacks and just one error, along with one block and one ace for 19 points. She also provided a 60 positive reception percent on 20 attempts. In the Italian Cup title match on March 17, Villa Cortese dropped a 25-22, 25-21, 25-20 match to Rebecchi Nordmeccanica Piacenza. Klineman tallied 11 points with 10 kills on 26 attacks and one block.

Both athletes played for Epic Volleyball Club in San Diego as juniors before going separate ways at the collegiate level. The Italian Serie A1 regular season continued its hiatus as the Italian Serie A1 Cup took center stage this past weekend. Busto Arsizio lost to McCarnaghi Villa Cortese 25-21, 23-25, 25-22, 19-25, 15-11 on March 16. Lloyd started the first four sets, recording two kills and a block while helping Busto Arsizio to a 42.3 kill percent during her four sets of action. Faucette was a sub in the fifth set, but did not record a statistic. Busto Arsizio (12-3, 37 points), which holds a seven-point lead over second-place Foppapedretti Bergamo, resumes Italian Serie A1 action on March 21 versus third-place McCarnaghi Villa Cortese (8-7, 26 points).

RICHARDS HILDEBRAND WITH TURKEY'S BAKIRKOY BELEDIYE YESILYURT: Kristin Richards Hildebrand (Orem, Utah), alternate for both the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Teams, is competing for Bakirkoy Belediye Yesilyurt in the Turkish League. Yesilyurt upset Fenerbahce 25-23, 25-23, 17-25, 25-16 on March 17. Richards Hildebrand contributed a match-high 19 points with 15 kills on 36 attacks, three aces and a block. She added a 50 positive reception percent on 22 chances. Yesilyurt challenges IBA Kimya TED Kolejliler on March 24 in its next regular season match.
BERG WITH TURKEY'S FENERBAHCE: Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), a two-time Olympic Games silver medalist with the U.S. and three-time Olympian, signed to play with Fenerbahce in the Turkish League mid-way through the regular season. In the Turkish League, Fenerbahce was upset by Bakirkoy Bld. Yesilyurt 25-23, 25-23, 17-25, 25-16 on March 17. Berg came off the bench in the second set and started the third and fourth sets, but could not rally her squad to the victory. She provided two aces and a kill on one attack for three points. Fenerbahce faces Galatasaray on March 20, followed by a March 24 contest against Ereğli Bld.
HOOKER WITH RUSSIA'S DINAMO KRASNODAR: Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas), who earned the Best Spiker Award at the 2012 Olympic Games while helping the U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team to the silver medal, is competing for Dinamo Krasnodar in the Russia Super League this winter. In the CEV Challenge Cup, Krasnodar faces Italy's Rebecchi Nordmeccanica Piacenza in the home-and-home series finals on March 20 and March 24. Krasnodar has improved to fourth place in the Russia Super League after back-to-back wins last week. On March 12, Krasnodar dropped Ufimochka 25-17, 25-17, 25-12 as Hooker totaled 15 points with 12 kills, two blocks and an ace. Krasnodar clipped Tyumen Tyuemen 25-21, 23-25, 25-13, 21-25, 15-10 on March 16. Krasnodar (13-6, 37 points) is idle in the Russia Super League until a March 28 contest with fifth-place Uralochka-NTMK (11-7, 36 points).
LARSON-BURBACH, BOWN WITH RUSSIA'S DINAMO KAZAN: Jordan Larson-Burbach (Hooper, Neb.) and Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), who have each won an Olympic silver medal with the U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team, are competing for Dinamo Kazan in the Russia Super League. Kazan (18-0, 44 points) swept seventh-place Tyumen (7-11, 24 points) 25-20, 29-27, 25-22 on March 14 after a 20-day break from the regular-season schedule.

TOM WITH BRAZIL'S UNILEVER: Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah), a four-time U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball selection with two silver medals, is playing this winter with Unilever in Brazil's Superliga. Unilever, the top seed in the playoffs, swept its best-of-three semifinal round series with fifth-seed Sesi-Sao Paulo following a 25-18, 25-21, 25-23 victory on March 16. Tom continues to be out of the lineup due to injury. Unilever will now face Sollys/Nestle in the final match on April 7.
FAWCETT WITH KOREA EXPRESSWAY IN KOREA LEAGUE: Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio), an opposite with the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, is competing with Korea Expressway in the Korean professional league. Korea Expressway concluded the regular season with a 27-29, 25-19, 27-25, 25-19 victory over Hyundai on March 13. Fawcett collected a match-high 40 points with 34 kills, three aces and three blocks. Despite the victory, Korea Expressway did not advance to the three-team playoff round ending its season.
AKINRADEWO WITH AZERBAIJAN'S RABITA BAKU: Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), a silver medalist with the U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team at the 2012 Olympic Games, is competing for Rabita Baku in the Azerbaijan Super League. In the Azerbaijan Super League, Rabita Baku remained in first place after sweeping second-place Igtisadchi Baki 25-14, 25-21, 25-23 on March 18. Akinradewo collected eight points with six kills on 10 errorless attacks and two blocks.
METCALF, PAOLINI WITH AZERBAIJAN'S IGTISADCHI BAKU: Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa), an opposite on the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team with experience at the 2004 Olympic Games, and U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team middle blocker Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.) are playing for Igtisadchi Baku of the Azerbaijan Super League in 2012-2013. In the Azerbaijan Super League, Igtisadchi faced league-leader Rabita Baku on March 18 and could not take advantage of the chance to move into first place after falling 25-14, 25-21, 25-23. Metcalf recorded nine points, all kills coming on 27 attacks. Paolini contributed four kills and an ace for five points in the loss. Despite the loss, Igtisadchi remains in second place with 32 points, two points ahead of third-place Azerrail.
HODGE, WILSON WITH AZERBAIJAN'S AZERRAIL BAKU: Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), a silver medalist on the 2012 U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team, is playing for Azerbaijan's Azerrail Baku in 2012-2013 along with fellow Penn State University alum Arielle Wilson (Broadview, Ill.).

Jeremy Lin Gets New Agent While Steve Nash Voices Interest in New York Knicks
Steve Nash seems to be eying the New York Knicks as his prospective next destination, while Jeremy Lin has changed agents right before a free agency that has the potential to change the lives of both point guards.
Nash has been a topic of conversation for Knicks fans and players alike who have compared the two-time league MVP and 38-year-old veteran point guard's style to that of Lin. Lin, 23, managed to spark a phenomenon dubbed "Linsanity" when he took the team on a seven game winning streak last February.
Although rumors have surfaced regarding Nash leaving the Phoenix Suns and joining the New York Knicks in the offseason when he will become a free agent. Recently, Nash seemed to confirm that there may be some basis to the rumors.
"The Knicks are a great franchise and I live in New York City (each summer), so I'd definitely consider them if they were interested," Nash said in an ESPN report.
However, Nash was not the first player to address the rumors about a potential contract with the Knicks. Amare Stoudemire, Knicks forward who once played alongside Nash in Phoenix, recently petitioned for Nash to join the team, since they were teammates in the past and thrived on the pick-and-roll offense that Lin also utilized while playing with the team.
"What team wouldn't want a two-time MVP, an assist leader, a veteran point guard?" Stoudemire asked the press last month. "What team wouldn't want that? But we do have Jeremy Lin here. And we have confidence in him and what he can do for us."
While Lin has expressed an interest in staying with New York while claiming that anything could happen next season, he recently approached his upcoming restricted free agency by hiring a new agent and publicist. The 23-year-old Asian-American point guard recently hired agent Jim Tanner of the Washington law firm Williams & Connolly LLP.
"With the quality and character of their firm and clients, their extensive basketball experience and tremendous success in athlete representation, I am confident that Williams & Connolly will provide me with the guidance I need to continue to develop personally and professionally," Lin said in a statement. "I am excited to have them work with Roger Montgomery and my current team."
Tanner will work with Lin in preparing his next NBA contract, marketing, licensing, personal appearances and additional business opportunities. Lin's new publicist Meredith Geisler, also works with Tanner's clients.
While the Knicks point guard has yet to make a decision concerning his next contract and playing destination, the point guard said he is confident about his decision.
"I believe Jim and the team at Williams & Connolly are the best fit for me in all aspects of my career," Lin said in a statement.

Preliminary notes
I'll not go into the distinction of the different kinds of test there are, there are already a few questions on these sites regarding that.
I'll take what's there and that says: unit testing in the sense of "testing the smallest isolatable unit of an application" from which this question actually derives
The isolation problem
What is the smallest isolatable unit of a program. Well, as I see it, it (highly?) depends on what language you are coding in.
Micheal Feathers talks about the concept of a seam: [WEwLC, p31]
A seam is a place where you can alter behavior in your program without editing in that place.
And without going into the details, I understand a seam -- in the context of unit testing -- to be a place in a program where your "test" can interface with your "unit".
Unit test -- especially in C++ -- require from the code under test to add more seams that would be strictly called for for a given problem.
- Adding a virtual interface where non-virtual implementation would have been sufficient
- Splitting -- generalizing(?) -- a (smallish) class further "just" to facilitate adding a test.
- Splitting a single-executable project into seemingly "independent" libs, "just" to facilitate compiling them independently for the tests.
The question
I'll try a few versions that hopefully ask about the same point:
- Is the way that Unit Tests require one to structure an application's code "only" beneficial for the unit tests or is it actually beneficial to the applications structure.
- Is the code generalization that is needed to make it unit-testable useful for anything but the unit tests?
- Does adding unit tests force one to generalize unnecessarily?
- Is the shape unit tests force on code "always" also a good shape for the code in general as seen from the problem domain?
I remember a rule of thumb that said don't generalize until you need to / until there's a second place that uses the code. With Unit Tests, there's always a second place that uses the code -- namely the unit test. So is this reason enough to generalize?

MADRID, July 20 (UPI) -- A deepening Spanish debt crisis has raised fears that Spain, not Greece, is most likely to sink the eurozone unless its financial wizards perform a miracle before September.
Eurozone finance ministers met to agree to lend Spain up to $122.9 billion to help shore up its banks but further problems await EU troubleshooters as heavily indebted Spanish regions emerge with pleas for further help.
Exactly how much will be needed to rescue the banks remains unclear. Findings from a major government audit of the troubled Spanish banking industry won't be known until September, when Spain's loan requirements for this purpose alone will become somewhat clearer.
Meanwhile, however, the regions are lining up for rescue, causing dismay in the markets.
The eastern region of Valencia said Friday it would apply to Madrid for financial help, but the government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is already under pressure from other troubled regions while credit rating agencies pile on more downgrades.
Spanish bond rates Friday indicated investors saw the bonds as little more than junk raising the possibility the country was poised to join the inglorious lineup of debt-ridden eurozone members that already include Greece, Italy and Portugal.
Analysts said the Spanish crisis raised the prospect of the eurozone succumbing to the multiple pressures of cash requests from Spain that Europe's major economies can no longer fulfill.
Meanwhile, EU economists are revising downward growth prospects for Europe overall. Spain said its earlier estimates of gross domestic product rising by 0.4 percent were optimistic and a further shrinkage was in the cards.
Spain is in the throes of angry protests over Rajoy's austerity cuts that are likely to increase as growth prospects get dimmer.
That also raised fears that a new $20 billion fund designed to ease hardship in Spain's 17 semi-autonomous regions might not prove enough. The fund is part-financed with a loan from the state-owned lottery company.
Most of Spain's problems stem from reckless bank lending to fund a property boom that went wrong. Critics have blamed local governments for corruption and frivolous spending.
Government moves to discipline regions that overspend are flawed, critics say, because the central government cannot realistically take over and manage the finances of regions that it sees as flouting financial discipline. The expertise for putting in place such a supervisory financial network is simply not there, critics say.
European stock indexes tumbled Friday despite the eurozone finance deal for Spain.

from The Envelope (The Los Angeles Times) / by Deborah Netburn
She's the darling of film festivals with her portrayal of Edith Piaf in 'La Vie en Rose.'
This awards season it's all about Marion Cotillard.
She's the 31-year-old French actress whose performance as Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose" left critics desperately searching for new words to describe her: "incredible," "breathtaking," "inspiring," "gorgeous. "
"La Vie en Rose" was released in the U.S. on June 8 and though the season has only just begun, Cotillard has already received best actress or breakthrough actress awards from the Seattle International Film Festival, the Hollywood Film Festival and the Cabourg Romantic Film Festival.
The 19th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (Jan. 3-14) has jumped on the Cotillard train with an announcement that it will honor her with the breakthrough performance award. She joins past recipients such as Jennifer Hudson and Felicity Huffman.
If Cotillard's name is unfamiliar, you might have seen her in passing and not realized it. She recently appeared opposite Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott's "A Good Year." In 2004 she won a Cesar Award for best supporting actress for her role in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "A Very Long Engagement."
But though she may have earned accolades for her earlier work, it's her performance in "La Vie en Rose" that has placed her firmly in the "Thespian with a capitol T" camp.
As Stephen Holden gushed in the New York Times, "Marion Cotillard's feral portrait of the French singer Edith Piaf as a captive wild animal hurling herself at the bars of her cage is the most astonishing immersion of one performer into the body and soul of another I've ever encountered in a film."
In other words, expect to hear a lot more about her as awards season kicks into high gear.

(The Root) —
"I have had sex before, but — and I know this is going to shock you — I have decided celibacy is best for me now, at least until I am married or at least in a committed relationship. Do you think this will affect my chance to get into a relationship? Also, when is the best time to tell a guy I'm dating that I am not having sex?" —D.B.
Actually, I'm not shocked at all. I can't find any recent statistics on the number of women currently practicing celibacy, but I get questions about it often enough to tell you that you're far from alone on this one. I also want to applaud you for having the courage to go against the grain and do what is best for you. I wish more people would. They would be a lot happier.
Let's start with the easy part, which everyone overcomplicates: how to tell a guy that you're celibate. Inevitably when a man and a woman are around each other long enough, the topic of sex comes up. Since you're not having sex, there's no use in talking about it and misleading anyone to think what won't happen will.
Let him bring it up, and when he does, just let him know what you require in order to have sex. It's not that you're "not having sex" ever, as you imply in your email; it's that you want to get to know him and be in a committed relationship — with titles and everything — before you have sex.
Understand, you're not really asking for anything exceptional here. You're a woman, not a Chevy. There's no need for some guy to test-drive you just to call you his girlfriend.
That said, many folks will make you think you're crazy for not having sex. Put this in perspective: There are a lot of women who are having sex — wild, swing-from-the-chandelier, they-only-do-that-in-pornos kind of sex — and they are just as single as you are. Sex doesn't guarantee you any sort of relationship, much less a marriage.
I will also advise you to really stick to your guns on this one. If you're going to tell a man, "X is my requirement," then you need to hold to your word so that you're taken seriously. For clarity, that means standing firm even when he's really cute and super nice with a broad back and wide thighs. It's easy to be celibate when you're not attracted to someone; it's much harder when you are. Try investing in a good vibrator to keep your totally healthy and completely natural urges at bay. It still counts as celibacy when you take care of yourself.
Now, when you inform your date of your requirements, expect him to do one of two things: balk, because unfortunately the idea of being committed before having sex isn't so conventional anymore; or step his game all the way up.
The guy who balks isn't the guy you want, anyway. He wants sex, and possibly a relationship if he really likes you and the sex is good, too. He's entitled to that, and there are plenty of women who will happily have sex with him. You want someone who is in line with your values, and he isn't it. The goal is not to have just any man but one who gets you. So let him go on his way.
The second type of guy I described isn't any better for you; he just seems like it. He's pushing up, not because he's really all that interested — it's probably all ego. You've presented a challenge — something on which some men thrive — and now he's determined to conquer your, ahem, land and plant his, uh, flag. Though sex is readily available to most men who want it, he will keep up this charade for as long as necessary. Don't be fooled.
What you want is the guy — the rare one — whose reaction is something akin to "Oh." Either he's practicing celibacy, too — yes, men do it — so your standards aren't a problem, or he's not appalled by your answer but just was not prepared for that one. He likes you, he needs to think about it and get back to you on that. If he shows up again, same as always and willing to see where it goes, he's the one you should invest energy in getting to know better.

May 21, 2015: Barry Cauchon.
Hi all: On May 8-9, 2015 I had the privilege of participating in the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the start of the Lincoln Conspirator Military Tribunal held at Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington D.C. May 08 commemorated the first day the military commission met behind closed doors to organize their procedures and May 09 commemorated the first day of the actual trial when the prisoners were brought into the courtroom.
The two-day event began on Friday night with a VIP reception at the Fort McNair Officer's Club hosted by Colonel Michael Henderson. Guests included many military officials, historians, NDU specialists and staff, authors, descendants, benefactors, members of the Surratt House Museum and Surratt Society, several Civil War round table officials and some dear old friends. I was one of four speakers presenting that night. Joining me at the podium were Michael Kauffman, author of American Brutus and In the Footsteps of an Assassin; John Elliott (my research partner) and specialist in the courtroom stories as seen from the spectators' points of view; and historian Betty Ownsbey (Lewis Powell's biographer) and author of Alias Paine (2nd edition).
Following the presentations on Friday night, the attendees were invited to take tours of the restored courtroom and the exterior grounds where the executions took place in July of 1865. John, Betty and Mike led the tours in the courtroom whereas I toured the execution site and vicinity. Earlier that day, John and I painstakingly laid out the locations of the scaffold, the four conspirators' graves, Henry Wirz' (Commandant of Andersonville Prison) grave and John Wilkes Booth's grave. We also laid out the locations for the penitentiary's 20′ high east wall, the door from which the prisoners exited the penitentiary to their executions and the Shoe Factory where Alexander Gardner took his famous series of photographs depicting the executions.
I am grateful and thankful to the folks at Fort McNair who asked me to lay out the locations of these elements (which had never been done before). I have had the dimensions and calculations in both my head and on paper for several years now and was thrilled to finally get a chance to plot them in situ. When you see them in their actual environment, the entire scale of the event is easier to envision.
On Saturday, May 09, there was a public open house with free tours to those who signed up. For fire safety reasons, only about 45 people are allowed to occupy the courtroom at any one time so four sessions were planned. John Elliott and Mike Kauffman split the presentations in the courtroom and I did the walking tours outside. It turned out to be a beautiful day and everyone who attended seemed to really enjoy themselves.
I want to thank Leah Rubalcaba (Community Relations Officer) and Rob Joswiak (Public Affairs Specialist) and other members of the Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall team for pulling this event together. I was excited to be a part of it and look forward to assisting again in the future.
To see a great article with photos about this event, go to Dave Taylor's Boothie Barn blog. The article called A Military Tribunal Observation was written by Kate Ramirez and she did a great job in summarizing the two-day commemoration. Thanks Kate and Dave.
Finally, I want to thank my wife, Christine for accompanying me to Washington and sharing her wonderful and never-ending support. I love you dearly.
Have a wonderful day.

NYY 75 55 --- BAL 72 58 3.0The Orioles have allowed 44 more runs than they have scored (548-592). You would expect a team with those numbers to have a 60-70 record. Baltimore is 12 games better than that.
One reason is their astounding record in close games. The Orioles are 24-6 (.800) in one-run games and 22-12 (.647) in two-run games. Combined: 46-18, .719. (They are also 56-0 when leading after seven innings; Boston is 53-7.)
Only three teams in modern baseball history have won at least 70% of their games decided by one or two runs: the 1906 Chicago Cubs, 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates, and the 1954 Cleveland team.

Re: multiple question
Heat cables with Omni Nests: Most people place the heat cable along one side of the Omni Nest, which allows for a heat gradient in the nest. As for oecophylla smaragdina, I would advise against housing them in an Omni Nest. Arboreal ants would do better in a larger terrarium of some kind with ability to climb and nest in plants.

Review: Brazos barebone bonanza
Sapphire has been trying to make a name for itself in the nettop and ITX board market for the last couple of years and its efforts have not gone unnoticed. The company is best known for its incredibly thin Edge HD series nettops based on Intel Atom and, as of 2012, AMD E-series chips.
Before the Edge HD3 series was launched, Sapphire only offered Atom based nettops with Nvidia ION graphics. However, since Sapphire is best known as an AMD partner, the decision to use an AMD platform came as no surprise.
The Sapphire Edge HD3 is powered by AMD's E-450 APU, a cheap and cheerful APU which combines a decent graphics engine with two CPU cores in one small package. Like previous Edge HD systems, it features an external power supply, a brick similar to those found in the notebook world. It is also worth noting that the Edge HD3 is available as a complete system or as a barebone, in which case it bears simply the barebone moniker and ships without a hard drive and memory. In either case the Edge HD3 looks the same and deserves to be called a mini-PC, as it measures just 19.3 x 14.8 x 2.2 cm (L / W / H).
It is also worth noting that Sapphire recently launched the new Edge VS series, with a slightly thicker design and new AMD Trinity APUs. The price difference between the company's HD and VS series nettops is rather small, but we will come to that in our verdict.
- CPU AMD APU E450 1.6GHz
- Memory 4 GB DDR3 So-DIMM
- Storage 320 GB SATA 2.5'' Hard Driver
- Graphics AMD Radeon HD6320
- LAN 10/100/1000 Mbps Built-in Ethernet
- Wireless 802.11b/g/n Built-in Wireless Network
1 x HDMI Port
1 x VGA(D-sub) Port
1 x RJ-45 Gigabit Lan
2 x USB 2.0 Port
1 x Audio-in
1 x Line-out
2 x USB 3.0 Port
- Power 65 W AC 100~240V 50/60Hz, DC 19V~3.42A
- Dimensions 19.3 x 14.8 x 2.2 cm (L / W / H)
- Weight 530 g net weight
- Operating System Pre-installed Free DOS
- Accessory
1 x HDMI cable
1 x HDMI to DVI adapter
1 x Quick Installation Guide (QIG)
1 x Chassis Stand
1 x Power cord
1 x Power Adapter
1 x Driver CD
The packaging looks nice and inside we found power cable with adapter, an HDMI cable, one HDMI to DVI adapter, desktop base, driver-CD, quick installation guide and information regarding product registration (Sapphire Select Club).
The Quick installation guide is very short. The driver-CD comes with more detailed information regarding bios settings. Edge HD3 ships with FreeDOS, but that is not what end-users want. We did not find any description of how to install a new operating system, so this approach might not be ideal for all consumers.
The chassis feels quite sturdy. Unlike most vendors, Sapphire did not use cheap, glossy plastics in the Edge HD3. Instead, it went for a rubberized matte finish.
One of the first things you will have to do when setting up the Edge HD3 is to attach the desktop stand. The desktop stand has a hole in the middle and you feed the thumb screw provided through the hole, align the stand with the base of the mini PC, and screw firmly into place. Once installed on the stand, the nettop ends up in vertical position, but the whole rig feels pretty stable.
The Edge HD3 ships without a VESA mount, while the new Edge VS series features a VESA mount in the bundle, so it can easily be placed on the back of a TV. Sadly, with the transition to thin and stylish monitors with LED backlighting, VESA mounts are about to die a quiet death. Most monitors no longer support them due to their thin design.
The power button, power indicator light and HDD activity indicator are placed at the left side, or we can call it the top side when it's not mounted on the desktop stand. There is no reset switch, which is the case with most other nettops as well.
The right mirrors the left side and the only difference are the buttons, which are not present on this side.
You will notice that there are no air vents on either side, so the HD3 relies on a few openings at the bottom and top to ensure airflow. This also means that it needs to be mounted upright to provide proper cooling, as hot air will naturally circulate to the top of the chassis and out. However, we expected the HD3 to be a bit quieter. Under load, things can get rather noisy. Luckily, most nettops rarely experience plenty of load, but we've seen quieter systems.
On the rear of the unit you will find the majority of ports, including video outs, one RJ-45 Gigabit Lan, two USB 2.0 ports, one Line-in (3.5mm jack), one Audio-out (3.5mm jack), and DC In connector. We appreciate the fact that Sapphire decided to place all audio connectors at the back. This is not always the case with nettops, and although some users like to have easy access to audio jacks up front, for headphones and whatnot, placing the jacks at the back is a much better choice for HTPCs with 5.1 speakers. Let's not forget about aesthetics, nobody wants to see their new toy behind a bunch of cables.
Sapphire opted for one HDMI and one VGA output. DVI displays can be connected using the HDMI to DVI adapter and HDMI cable (you connect DVI monitor to the female DVI port on the adapter). The bundled HDMI cable is about two meter long, and the HDMI to DVI adapter is also provided.
The HD3 features USB 3.0 ports that will be quite handy for extra storage and you collection of HD movies. Built in wireless (802.11n) is another welcome addition.
The USB 3.0 ports are not visible. They are hidden under a little protective flat on the front of the unit. The cover is held in place with a rubber catch so it will not be lost. Since it features the same matte finish, it should stand up to punishment well.
Taking the HD3 apart requires more attention and caution than skill. Still, it's necessary to follow some simple steps, but be warned – in case you get a full system rather than a barebone, disassembly will void the warranty.
The cover can be removed using a thin, flathead screwdriver. After the cover is removed it is possible to access the rest of the screws (one screw is located under the warranty sticker).
The next step is to remove the screws surrounding the VGA connector, after which it is possible to remove the front cover.
Note the low profile heatsink and small CPU fan.
The HD3 ships with a single 4GB DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM module and a 320GB 5400rpm hard drive, courtesy of Samsung.
Bios looks like it was designed for a notebook, but it's functional and it managed to identify the hardware correctly right off the bat. The Sapphire driver CD features a pdf file with a list of all bios options. The document is rather comprehensive, but many users won't find it very helpful, as it just lists the settings and does not provide additional information. Luckily the default settings are ok and there is really no need to mess with them.
SATA mode is set to AHCI by default, but since we are dealing with a slow SATA II drive, no bios option will speed things up. It is good to know that the system offers SATA III support, something that will come in handy in case you ever want to upgrade.
The memory runs at DDR3-1333 by default, and this is highest speed we can set in the bios.
The PC Health window shows us some rather high operating temperatures with the fan running at about 5550RPM. While we were playing round with bios options, the fan was running at high speed practically the whole time. It is possible to adjust the fan speed though, and you can opt for static or dynamic settings. We tried to use slightly less aggressive fan settings and keep the noise down, but in the end the temperature hit 85C, which was a bit outside our comfort zone.
As we said, the HD3 has does not ship with preinstalled Windows, so potential buyers should bear this in mind. The approach allows users to use their own copy of Windows, or install Linux in any flavor. However, most consumers are not tech savvy and they might need some help in this department.
The Edge HD3 comes with preinstalled FreeDOS, which is basically like old MS-DOS, but a bit better. FreeDOS can be very useful sometimes, but you can run only programs intended for MS-DOS or for FreeDOS. You can check software list here.
Our decision was to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (the Edge HD3 is also Windows 8 compatible). If you do not want to buy a license for the operating system right now, you can install a trial version of Windows first. For example you can download a 90-days test version of Windows 8 here.
The boot order can be changed by pressing F7 at startup, without entering the bios. Since the system ships without an optical drive, you can install Windows from a bootable USB stick. The Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool comes in handy when you need to create a bootable USB stick from ISO file (you can find it here).
Our bootable USB was recognized correctly after inserting it into USB 2.0 as well after inserting it into USB 3.0 ports, but with USB 3.0 port we had a driver issue during Windows setup installation; we were asked to provide CD/DVD drivers, as shown on the screenshot below.
There is also another issue to take into account. We had to format the hard drive before we could proceed with the installation. FreeDOS was not installed on a separate partition and the whole disk was formatted in FAT32. Fortunately we did not have to install Windows 95 or dance the Macarena to sort things out. It's possible to use FreeDOS to create a new partition for Windows 7/8, but we formatted the whole drive and erased FreeDOS completely.
The Edge HD3 is based on AMD's E-450 APU, a 40nm part with two Bobcat cores running at 1.65GHz and an HD 6320 graphics core, with 80 shaders clocked at 508MHz.
The HD 6320 features AMD's UVD3 video decoder, which allows partial hardware decoding of two simultaneous HD streams, making it compliant with the BD-Live standard.
Since the HD 6320 relies solely on system memory, the decision to go for 4GB of system memory is a good idea.
Thanks to the long power cable (ca. 2.9m) and HDMI cable (ca. 2m) we had plenty of freedom to move the Edge HD3 across the living room. The desktop stand is nice feature, but it ships without VESA mount. Personally, I didn't mind much, but some users would probably like to mount the HD3 on the back of their TV.
Built in wireless (802.11n) is welcome addition.
In terms of benchmarks, the Edge HD3 lives up to expectations. We pitted it against the Zotac ZBOX Nano XS AD11 Plus, which is also based on the E-450 APU. However, the Zotac ends up significantly faster in some tests thanks to its SSD drive, particularly in PCMark 7. The hard drive is clearly the weakest link of the HD3 and the same goes for all small-form factor systems with mechanical drives, as most of them ship with 5400rpm disks.
3DMark 06

Cinebench R11.5
Cooling is a challenge in small and slim PCs and as you already had a chance to see, the size of the heatsink and fan is limited by the size of the chassis. Unfortunately the fan is often forced to run at high speeds. The system is barely audible in idle mode, but under load the fan quickly picks up speed and generates plenty of noise. It gets almost as loud as an Acer Aspire 15-incher with fans at full speed.
We like the thin design, but it comes at a price and we would gladly trade it for a slightly bulkier chassis if it helped keep noise down. It's possible to adjust the fan speed in bios, but due to high temperatures, we would advise against it, for the sake of longevity and stability. At default settings the CPU temperature is 53°C in idle, but under load it can hit as much as 75°C, while the graphics part goes up to 83°C. Relatively high, but still on the safe side of things. We believe the noise to heat ratio should have been better.
Power consumption is pretty low as according to our measurements the HD3 draws 14W in idle and up to 32W under full load. This is very similar to what we experienced with Zotac's AD11 Plus. All in all the results are very impressive.
Although the Edge HD3 was launched last year, it remains a very popular choice in the nettop market. It is widely available for under €300, but this price is no longer justified, so we are expecting a price cut. Luckily for Sapphire, we are talking about in-house competition. Two months ago Sapphire introduced the Edge VS series, based on Trinity ULV APUs and the VS4, with a dual-core Trinity can be yours for about €325. However, the HD3 barebone costs €199 and offers much better value for money than the complete system.
The HD3 is one of the smallest x86 systems around and it will fit in just about any coat pocket, sans power brick, of course. However, even with the power cable, keyboard and mouse, it will easily fit into any backpack, much like a notebook. The robust build and matte finish also come in handy, as the HD3 won't pick up a lot of nicks and scratches if you transport it often, making it a good choice for students and just about everyone who needs a truly portable desktop.
The E-450 is a venerable chip, but it is still practically the best platform for mini-PCs on the market. It offers enough performance for browsing, content consumption and office work. Of course, serious gaming is out of the question, but that goes without saying. However, it has enough muscle for casual games at low resolution, or some golden oldies.
Overall it's a neat little PC, but personally I would go for the barebone. It offer better value and lets you choose faster storage, like an SSD or hybrid drive. Even a relatively small SSD would do, as the HD3 features a couple of speedy USB 3.0 ports for external storage.

A Tacoma man faces multiple charges after allegedly filing forged documents in an auto theft claim.
Cash B. Knott, 45, has been charged in Pierce County Superior Court with three counts of forgery, one count of insurance fraud, and one count of attempted 2nd degree theft.
On Nov. 6th, less than a month after getting coverage from Progressive Direct Insurance Co. for his 1992 Ford Ranger pickup, Knott filed a $5,674 insurance claim with Progressive. He said someone had scratched the paint, stolen his chrome wheels and tires, and stolen his navigation and entertainment system, 1,000 watt amplifier and other electronic components.
He provided Progressive with a Sept. 2 stereo shop invoice for $4,547.84 worth of stereo equipment, a copy of his check, and a bank statement showing the withdrawal from his checking account.
The problem: When contacted by an insurance adjuster, the stereo shop said it had no record of such a purchase. All they could find was that Knott had bought an amplifier -- for $109 -- on Sept. 2.
Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler's Special Investigations Unit obtained a search warrant for Knott's bank records. The bank found no checks written to the stereo shop, and none whatsoever for $4,547.84.
The upshot: The investigators believe that Knott altered the invoice, forged a check, and created a phony bank statement.
He's scheduled for arraignment on June 27th.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test to measure the electrical activity of the brain.
Electroencephalogram; Brain wave test
Brain cells talk to each other by producing tiny electrical signals, called impulses.
An EEG helps measure this activity. The test is done by a EEG specialist in your doctor's office or at a hospital or laboratory.
You will be asked to lie on your back on a bed or in a reclining chair.
Flat metal disks called electrodes are placed all over your scalp. The disks are held in place with a sticky paste. The electrodes are connected by wires to a speaker and recording machine.
The recording machine changes the electrical signals into patterns that can be seen on a computer. It looks like a bunch of wavy lines.
You will need to lie still during the test with your eyes closed because movement can change the results. But, you may be asked to do certain things during the test, such as breathe fast and deeply for several minutes or look at a bright flashing light.
Wash your hair the night before the test. Do not use any oils, sprays, or conditioner on your hair before this test. If you have a hair weave, you may want to ask your doctor or nurse for special instructions.
Your health care provider may want you to stop taking certain medications before the test. Do not change or stop taking medications without first talking to your health care provider. Bring a list of your medications with you.
Avoid all food and drinks containing caffeine for 8 hours before the test.
Sometimes you may need to sleep during the test, so you may be asked to reduce your sleep time the night before. If you are asked to sleep as little as possible before the test, do not eat or drink any caffeine, energy drinks, or other products that help you stay awake.
The electrodes may feel sticky and strange on your scalp but should not cause any other discomfort. You should not feel any discomfort during the test.
EEG is used to look at your brain activity. It can help diagnose seizures. It may also be used to diagnose or monitor the following health conditions:
EEG is also used to:
An EEG may be done to show that the brain has no activity, in the case of someone who is in a deep coma. It can be helpful when trying to decide if someone is brain dead.
EEG cannot be used to measure intelligence.
Brain electrical activity has a certain number of waves per second (frequencies) that are normal for different levels of alertness. For example, brain waves are faster when you are awake, and slower when you are sleeping.
There are also normal patterns to these waves.
Abnormal results on an EEG test may be due to:
Note: A normal EEG does not mean that a seizure did not occur.
The procedure is very safe. However, the flashing lights or fast breathing (hyperventilation) required during the test may trigger seizures in those with seizure disorders. The health care provider performing the EEG is trained to take care of you if this happens.
It may be difficult to get the paste out of your hair, but it should come out after a few washings with regular shampoo.

Sorry for not posting in two months. Lately I've been feeding my unhealthy habit of doing nothing.
I have decided to do Computer Bowl at my school, with the first meeting being on the Thursday after break. It's sponsored by my Web Design teacher, which is by the way a really cool class. After we learned about HTML and CSS, we worked on Adobe Fireworks, and for those of us who are ahead (including me), Photoshop. But the Computer bowl is about programming, which is what I'm learning in my Design & Logic class.
I've been pretty ahead in my Design & Logic class. We go by these lessons that we do on our own, and I can usually finish one in a class period. One Tuesday I was absent, and on Thursday we were taking a quiz, so the teacher told me I could take the quiz later unless I was comfortable with Lesson 8, which everyone was just finishing up that day. I told her I could take the quiz because I finished Lesson 8 on Friday (We run on A-day B-day schedules). Needless to say I felt pretty good when people acted surprised.

Ericsson Joins the Ranks of Companies Dropping out of MWC Due to Coronavirus Concerns
Seems more than sensible.
Seems more than sensible.
Los Angeles will be tapping into the ubiquitous streetlamp to keep communications networks intact after a big emergency.
Another Sony-branded model of Android phone has appeared in a leaked photo, with this one featuring the same design as the alluring Xperia S -- but scaling down the size and technical prowess a little.
I think I can still feel my fingers tingling after I played with a stereo hooked up to Ericsson's new capacitive coupling technology, which uses the water in the human body to transmit data instead of cables or radio waves.
Ericsson's new technology will allow you to transfer data between two gadgets by sending it directly through your body. The demonstrations of the technology are really cool, but what will it actually be good for in real life?
The white version of the new Sony Xperia S has been snapped up by UK retailer Phones4U, which will be exclusively selling the shinier model from March. Meanwhile, both Three and O2 have announced plans to stock the first Sony-branded Xperia on the usual contracts. [Three]
Today's announcement that Sony is buying out Ericsson's share of its mobile phone joint venture leads to one very big question. What will Sony be like without the guidance of Swedish mobile giant Ericsson?
The 50:50 joint venture, Sony Ericsson, may cease to exist if current rumours turn out to be true. Sony is apparently in talks for a £800 million buy-out of Ericsson's half to bring back Sony-only phones. [Reuters]

My organization XYZ has been mentioned in a newspaper, and I would like to post a link to the online article, together with a short explanation like "XYZ mentioned in newspaper ABC!"
How about
日本経済新聞にXYZ記載! or
What is the most natural way to say this?
I don't want to appear excessively boastful either.
