A Republican Party in desperate search for relevance to Latino voters. An expanded Democratic advantage in the Senate. A second-term President with his legacy on the line.
Does all that add up to enough to break decades of impasse and produce comprehensive immigration reform? As expectations — and tensions — rise, the answer won't be long in coming.
A bipartisan bill could be filed in the Senate as early as next week, followed in relatively short order by a House bill, also crafted by a bipartisan group, aiming at a compromise on the key issue of citizenship.
Whatever happens, Texas lawmakers are in the thick of the fray — on both sides of the aisle.
The efforts are being applauded by President Barack Obama, who is using every ounce of his political clout to try to get comprehensive reform.
Obama said the time has come "to work up the political courage to do what's required to be done."
"I expect a bill to be put forward. I expect a debate to begin next month. I want to sign that bill into law as soon as possible," Obama said at a White House naturalization ceremony.
In addition to the issue of eventual citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, Congress is expected to address the need for temporary or guest worker programs.
Congress last passed comprehensive bipartisan reform legislation in 1986, when President Ronald Reagan signed a law that granted citizenship to several million undocumented immigrants and created a guest worker program.
Up until now, Republicans have opposed citizenship programs as an "amnesty" for lawbreakers who entered the country illegally, and labor has chafed at guest worker programs.
But Republican losses in the 2012 elections and increased public support for reform have many in the GOP talking compromise.
"If there is one issue that the two parties could produce something meaningful on in this Congress, it would be immigration," said Stephen Hess, a political expert at The Brookings Institution.
Hess said an eventual bill "will have lots of provisos, and it will go back and forth, but it would be hard not to produce something given the general feeling that something has to be produced."
Similar expectations for gun-control legislation following the Newtown, Conn., massacre has unraveled with opposition in Congress to an assault weapons ban.
By contrast, more and more Republicans are moving toward immigration-reform measures as the party seeks to reach out to Latinos, the nation's largest — and growing — minority voting bloc.
Public opinion is behind them.
A recent poll showed 63 percent of Americans supported a path to citizenship for undocumented workers provided they meet certain requirements, according to a survey by the Public Religion Research Institute.
Notable Republicans who have recently spoken in favor of compromise on citizenship proposals include Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour; and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
And a March report by the Republican National Committee, considered a "post mortem" on the 2012 elections, recommended the GOP embrace comprehensive immigration reform to shore up its shaky standing with minorities – Latinos in particular.
Roy Beck, executive director of Numbers USA, which advocates lower numerical numbers on immigration, predicted a majority of Republican senators would oppose citizenship.
Groups like Numbers USA are working to hold GOP senators in line. They sent 13,000 emails to Kentucky voters that claimed Paul's position was "more radical and pro-immigration than anything proposed by President Obama."
The group has targeted Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.(CQ), one of the "Gang of Eight" senators writing the Senate bipartisan bill, as a lawmaker who favors foreign workers over unemployed South Carolinians.
Democrats from conservative-leaning states could also feel political heat.
Beck said if five to 10 Democrats in the Senate oppose a bill, proponents would need 10 to 15 Republicans to reach the 60 votes needed to cut off debate and vote on legislation.
"You do the math," Beck said.
In 2007, an effort to cut off debate on a Senate immigration reform bill died on a 46-53 vote.
But immigrant reform proponents, like America's Voice, say there is a "tectonic shift" in the GOP, and the Democrats also have expanded their Senate majority to 53-45, plus two independents who caucus with them. They predict the Senate will muster the votes necessary to pass a reform bill.
Still, it won't be easy.
"We will have not only a few potholes, but a few near-death experiences along the way," said Frank Sharry, America's Voice executive director.
All eyes are on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican like Paul who was elected with Tea Party support.
Cruz joined Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who is up for re-election in 2014, in a measure to stall the fast-moving process in the Senate. Both say they oppose "amnesty."
In a letter to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Texas Republicans urged the chairman of the Judiciary Committee to open up the legislative process with hearings.
The move troubles Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, who said the Texas senators should be leading the way on immigration reform because of its significance to the state.
"They are badly out of step with Texans on the issue of immigration," Castro said.
"They should be leading on the issue, because Texas has a stake in it," Castro said. "Instead, they seem to be trying to sandbag this immigration bill."
A Cruz spokeswoman said the senator's insistence on hearings and an open legislative process "is prudent leadership."
Cornyn said competing ideas about reform that should be "debated out in the open," and not rushed through Congress.
"Some may prefer that this bill be negotiated in secret and rushed to the floor just like Obamacare, but I do not," Cornyn said
In the House, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, a former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and author of a 1996 bill to clamp down on illegal immigration, said some Republicans were taking a "wait-and-see" attitude.
"I think a lot of people are waiting to see what the details are, and what it would cost," Smith said.
"I think most Republicans are not for citizenship, and a lot of Republicans are for partial legalization," he said.
But a bipartisan group of House lawmakers is trying to craft a compromise that could bring sufficient GOP votes to pass a bill.
One of those GOP lawmakers is Rep. John Carter, a former state district judge from Round Rock.
Carter said he became part of the group writing the bill "because I'm a hard-assed conservative judge and I'm from a state that understands what's going on."
Carter said bipartisan House legislation would not reward illegal behavior with citizenship, "however, I think there are earned ways to go about it."
"There are consequences for bad behavior and I am going to see to it that there are consequences for bad behavior. We'll see how the final product comes out, but I think it is a product that is workable," Carter said.
Carter and Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., another lawmaker in the bipartisan group, concede that it will be difficult to get the 218 votes needed for a majority.
Nevertheless, Gutierrez said he hopes the process will move quickly after the Easter recess. Carter said a House bill could be filed in April.
The "Gang of Eight" senators – four Democrats and four Republicans – are expected to introduce their bill when Congress returns from Easter recess.
Overall, the new Senate bill is expected to grant undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship within 13 years, similar to a proposal put forth by the White House, according to those familiar with the discussions.
Undocumented immigrants would have to pay fines, back taxes, learn English and have no criminal record to work legally and become eligible for naturalization.
Although no specific details have been released, senators involved in the process say the citizenship proposals would be contingent upon border-security benchmarks and high-tech measures to curb illegal crossings.
Congress will return to an expected throng of thousands of immigrants, labor and immigrant rights supporters on the West Lawn of the Capitol this week.
And advocates are holding over 200 events in 35 states during the congressional recess to rally support, said Sue Chinn, campaign manager for Alliance for Citizenship.
Activists for reform believe they have momentum on their side.
"Most of us remain optimistic that we are proceeding toward the passage of immigration reform this year," Sharry said.

Serves 8
For the white sauce:
750ml of whole milk
100g of unsalted butter
55g plain flour
100ml double cream
plus a good handful of grated extra mature cheddar cheese and Parmesan to sprinkle over the top
Preheat your oven to 180C/350F or Gas 4
You will need a large frying pan, a large saucepan and a 2.5 litre oven proof dish. And also a balloon whisk and a wooden spoon.
In a large frying pan heat a about a tablespoon oil over a medium heat. Fry gently the onion and carrot for about 10 minutes, moving it around from time to time. Add the garlic and continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Then set this aside while you cook the meat.
Add another glug of oil to the frying pan, turn the heat up and fry the beef and pork to brown it, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Keep it moving so it browns evenly. When it's browned nicely, now you can put the onion mixture back into the frying pan with the meat. Give it all a good stir. Add the tomato purée and cook for one minute then tip in the tin of tomatoes including the juice, oregano and red wine. Add a little salt and pepper to season. Still stirring, allow it to come up to simmering point. Once everything is simmering away nicely, leave it to cook over a low heat for about 30 minutes. Be sure to give it a stir now and then so you know it's not going too dry. By now you should be well on the way to having a nice thick, reduced concentrated sauce, that has very little liquid left in it. If you haven't - no worries just leave it for another 10 minutes or whatever it takes - you might have the heat a bit too low. Have a taste to check the seasoning, when you're happy with the thickness of the sauce, put the pan to one side and make the white sauce.
Put the butter and flour into a large thick-based saucepan and put it over a medium heat whilst stirring with a wooden spoon. Let the flour and butter cook for a minute or so (or the sauce will be lumpy). Now, remove from the heat and using a balloon whisk, add the milk in a little at a time, whisking all the time. Once all the milk is in, put the saucepan over a gentle heat and whisk continuously until the sauce comes to simmering point and thickens nicely. Add some salt and pepper to season and have a taste to make sure it's okay. Don't leave the salt out or the sauce will have no taste. Then, with the heat as low as possible, continue to cook the sauce for about 10 minutes. When it's nice and thick, remove from the heat and stir in the cream, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Once that's done you can turn off the heat and cook your pasta - following the instructions on the packet. Go for very slightly undercooked 'al dente' because the pasta will continue to cook when it goes in the oven.
Drain the pasta and reheat the white sauce, stirring all the time. Tip the pasta into your meat sauce and gently give it a stir to coat it well - you don't want the pasta to break up.
Put half of the mixture into your oven proof dish (2.5 litre in size) and spoon over a little of the white sauce. Don't fuss about the evenness of it, just pour over randomly. Add the rest of the pasta and meat mixture. Now pour the rest of the white sauce over to cover the pasta as best you can.
Sprinkle the top with a good amount of grated cheddar and Parmesan.

In the Halloween trailer above released today by Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs developers Frictional Games, you'll see the protagonist's panting, nervous crawls through the indirect sequel to The Dark Descent. Oh, and our own Kirk Hamilton will be happy to see that you can lean around corners to scope out dangers. Of which you can be assured there will be many.
If I'm getting nervous just watching a small clip of the game, I can't even imagine how I'll be when I get a chance to play it when it releases early next year.

The world is now talking about Caster Semenya, the South African athlete who has been subjected to gender testing after dominating the field in the 800-meter run at the 2009 World Championships. Recent reports by the Daily Mail of London and the Sydney Morning Herald of Australia state that the test has revealed that Semenya "is a hermaphrodite with no womb or ovaries." Some have argued that Semenya was the target of the investigation because she is black, but I am not sure if I am on board with that presumption.
If the reports are true, I am not surprised. Race issues to the side, I too found myself wondering if I was seeing things, as I watched Semenya thump her chest in victory and speak with a voice that could bring Barry White back from the grave. I was disturbed, but open-minded, for I considered Semenya's case to be an opportunity to explore cultural variations in gender perception.
Another use of the word "race" applies when analyzing Semenya's time in her race of choice, the 800-meter run. Not only did this 18-year old come out of nowhere to run a time which instantly dominates the world's most highly trained 800 meter runners (1:55.45), but her time was nowhere near the world record (1:53.28), set by Jarmila Kratochvilova of Czechoslovakia in 1983. Like Semenya, Kratochvilova could easily be mistaken for a man.
Jarmila's dominance over her sport came during a time in which it was widely speculated (and documented) that women from eastern bloc countries were heavily involved in hormonal therapy to improve their performances. In fact, women from the 1980s ran times that are uncontested to this day and East German shot putter, Heidi Krieger actually claims that extensive steroid use caused her to feel like a man and want to become one (after getting a sex change, she now lives as a man named Andreas). While these women were technically female, the truth is that their hormones had been altered so much that they had all the power advantages of being male.
Caster Semenya, quite frankly, exhibits many of the characteristics of Soviet Bloc athletes of the 1980s, so tests for both drugs and gender were in order. Her deep voice, rapid improvement in time, seemingly instant domination over the competition and amazing muscle development give international bodies enough just cause to make sure Semenya belongs on the female side of the track. The reported finding that she has "internal testes," generating body hair, muscle development and a deep voice are consistent with what the rest of the world saw on the track, and that would constitute an unfair advantage.
Caster Semenya is not a suspect simply because she's black; black women dominate races all the time and no one says a thing. In the midst of such blatant suspicion of Semenya's bio-chemical makeup, authorities have an obligation to investigate.
Friends and family in South Africa may be correct that Semenya has been raised as a girl her entire life. The athlete has even expressed a willingness to drop her pants in front of the world to show her genitalia (can you imagine the TV ratings for that event?). But being raised as a girl doesn't mean you actually are a female. Gender is determined by a complex battery of tests, the most important of which is whether you have two X chromosomes (implying you are female), vs. an X and a Y (meaning you are a male). Additionally, given that Semenya is reportedly a hermaphrodite, dropping her pants in front of the world might have been a bit embarrassing for all parties involved. There is nothing wrong with being a hermaphrodite, but a hermaphrodite is not always considered to be a woman.
If Caster Semenya is indeed a woman and that fact can be confirmed, then such vindication would be an amazing "I told you so" for the South African government. But becoming appalled at the idea of testing her in light of so much problematic evidence only magnifies suspicion that someone cut a few corners to help an athlete bring home a gold medal. The East German Government is reported to have given steroids to thousands of athletes in the 1980s, so it is not inconceivable that there are other governments willing to make allowances to see their athletes conquer the global stage at the world championships.
We should be reminded that there are only reports of Semenya's test results, and no information has been officially released. Additionally, the tests should be confirmed by independent scientists, so politics can be eliminated as a contaminant. Black, white or any other race, Semenya would be suspicious, no matter what race she happened to be.

Michael Schumacher showing 'small, encouraging signs'
Former F1 champion remains in a coma after skiing accident
Michael Schumacher is showing "small, encouraging signs" that he may awake from his coma, his agent said Wednesday, more than two months after a ski crash left the Formula One champion with severe head injuries.
Updates since Schumacher's accident have offered few details and limited optimism for the man who once drove the world's fastest cars and motorcycles but was critically injured on a familiar ski slope during a family outing. Wednesday's statement was little different, describing "an extremely intimate and fragile situation" for his family.
"It is very hard to comprehend for all of us that Michael, who had overcome a lot of precarious situations in the past, has been hurt so terribly in such a banal situation," Sabine Kehm, a family representative, wrote in a statement. "We are and remain confident that Michael will pull through and will wake up. There sometimes are small, encouraging signs, but we also know that this is the time to be very patient."
Small signs that physicians are watching for could include fluttering eyelids, or efforts to breathe without a ventilator.
"This doesn't change one's opinion of Schumacher's situation in general. It's still very difficult to predict what his long-term recovery will be like and if he does wake up and comes off the ventilator," said Dr. Tipu Aziz, professor of neurosurgery at Oxford University.
"In all likelihood he will be severely disabled," said Aziz, who has not been involved in treating Schumacher.
Schumacher, known affectionately as Schumi, was hospitalized with severe head injuries after the Dec. 29 ski accident, which split his helmet as he crashed into rocks on the slope at the Meribel ski station in the French Alps.
Doctors put him into a coma to rest his brain and decrease swelling, and they operated to remove blood clots, but some were too deeply embedded.
Neurologists not involved in his treatment say full recovery appears increasingly unlikely, given the coma's duration and the extent of his injuries.
"Every brain injury is different and no two routes to recovery will be the same," said Luke Griggs, a spokesman for Headway, a British brain injury charity. "It is fair to suggest that any patient waking from a three month-long coma will face the prospect of a long and challenging road to recovery, with the eventual outcome uncertain."

- An unidentified man says he was 16 when he and Clash began a relationship
- Clash has denied the accusations and is taking a leave of absence
- Unclear how the controversy might affect Elmo holiday sales
Kevin Clash, the longtime puppeteer who brought beloved Sesame Street Muppet Elmo to life, has been accused of having had an improper relationship with a teenage boy.
An unidentified man, now 23, approached show producer Sesame Workshop in June, alleging that he and Clash, 52, began a relationship seven years ago, when he was 16. Clash has voiced Elmo since 1984, and has helped make the character the show's most popular toy-seller.
Clash has taken an open-ended leave of absence, and Sesame plans to film new episodes using understudies he trained. According to a statement from the Workshop, "Elmo is bigger than any one person and will continue to be an integral part of Sesame Street."
In a statement released by his publicist, Risa Heller, Clash confirmed he had had "a relationship with the accuser" but denies he was underage at the time. "I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter," he said. The relationship "was between two consenting adults, and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was."
TMZ.com, which first reported the story, says the accuser enlisted Andreozzi & Associates, the Harrisburg, Pa., law firm that represented some of the people victimized by Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. But the law firm would neither confirm or deny that, and it told USA TODAY that aspects of TMZ's report were inaccurate. Workshop representatives met twice with the accuser, and with Clash, and after investigating, it "found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated," the company said in a statement. But Clash "exercised poor judgment and violated company policy regarding Internet usage" and was disciplined.
Though Sesame Street wouldn't "want to be affiliated with a guy that was having sex with minors," says Stacey Honowitz, a supervisor in the sex crimes unit of the Broward County, Fla., states attorney's office and a TV legal analyst, "it's really hard for anybody to make that call" with guilt in question and no legal charges filed.
She says publicity from the Sandusky trial may provide "strength in numbers" as victims come forward in other cases. "If men are abused as boys, it becomes easier as other people are coming forward." But it also could provide incentive for an opportunist, she says. And in Clash's defense, she says, it's "very rare" for a pedophile to admit sexual contact, and if it was "a consensual relationship, there's really nothing to say. It's a call on the part of Sesame Street."
A big question mark as the holiday season approaches is the effect of the uproar on Sesame Street toy sales, which industry magazine Time to Play estimates at $75 million wholesale. Elmo represents at least half that total and is "the star of the show" in that regard, says editor in chief Jim Silver.
The Clash allegations are "not going to hurt in terms of kids who watch the show and want the product; a child doesn't know what's going on," Silver says. But parents are another story. "I can definitely see it affecting sales of Elmo-related products. Sesame is in a tough position: They don't want to treat Kevin as guilty, but the stronger position they take, the better parents will feel."

CLEVELAND (AP) The Indians' pitch to bring Nick Swisher ``home'' worked.
Two people familiar with the negotiations said Swisher has agreed to a $56 million, four-year contract with the Indians, who used the free agent outfielder's deep Ohio connections to persuade him to join the club. The people spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday because Swisher must take a physical before the deal can be finalized. The Indians are expected to announce Swisher's signing after Christmas, one of the people said.
The 32-year-old spent the last four seasons with the New York Yankees, taking advantage of the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium. A switch-hitter, Swisher hit .272 this season with 24 homers and 93 RBIs.
Swisher will fill an outfield hole for the Indians, who traded Shin-Soo Choo to Cincinnati.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Andrew Luck has the rookie passing record.
The Colts' rookie quarterback finished with 205 yards passing in Indianapolis' win over Kansas City to break Cam Newton's year-old rookie record of 4,051 yards in a season.
The fabulous freshman also extended his own rookie record for fourth-quarter comebacks to seven by leading his team downfield in the closing minutes.
HOUSTON (AP) - Minnesota's Blair Walsh kicked a 56-yard field goal against the Houston Texans to set an NFL record with nine field goals of 50 yards or longer this season.
The record was held by two players who had eight in a season. Jason Hanson of Detroit did it in 2008 and Morten Andersen had eight in 1995 with Atlanta.
rookie kicker is 9 for 9 on field goals of 50 yards or longer this season.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Washington Redskins kicker Kai Forbath set the NFL record for consecutive field goals to begin a career with 17 straight.
Forbath kicked field goals of 45 and 42 yards in the first half against the Philadelphia Eagles. Garrett Hartley had kicked 16 straight for New Orleans.
NEW YORK (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys-Washington Redskins game that will decide the NFC East is moving to prime time.
The NFL says that Dallas' matchup with rival Washington on Dec. 30 would be on NBC's ``Sunday Night Football.''
Starting in Week 11, the league's flexible scheduling policy allows it to move a more appealing game to Sunday night. This is the second time this season a switch has been made.
LONDON (AP) - A British newspaper is suing Lance Armstrong for more than $1.5 million over the cyclist's successful libel action regarding doping allegations.
The Sunday Times paid Armstrong 300,000 pounds (now about $485,000) to settle a case after it printed allegations in 2004 that he took performance-enhancing drugs.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency concluded this year that Armstrong led a massive doping program on his teams. Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned from cycling for life.
The Sunday Times said in its latest edition that it has issued legal papers against Armstrong ``demanding a return of the settlement payment plus interest, as well as its costs in defending the case.''
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - After missing the Mavericks' first 27 regular-season games, Dirk Nowitzki entered with 6:28 left in the first quarter to a hearty mix of cheers and boos.
Nowitzki underwent surgery on his right knee Oct. 19 after battling soreness the previous season. The former MVP quickly picked up a rebound for Dallas in a 129-91 loss to San Antonio and finished with eight points - going 3 for 4 from the field - and six rebounds in 20 minutes.

Gin Revival: The Return of Tanqueray Malacca
New brands and bottles you should know.
London dry gin is an iconic spirits category. To many imbibers, London dry is gin, full stop. However, recent years have seen a flood of new gins branching off into novel territory. Some of these experiments in distinct and innovative flavor profiles have been a return to tradition—the revival of Old Tom and sloe gin, for instance—but others have been an exploration of new territory. The so-called new Western dry gins, or new American gins, leave the strict London dry formulation of a juniper-dominated spirit in the dust, instead investigating the full range of botanical possibilities (Bluecoat and Dry Fly are worthy examples).
But would you be surprised if I told you that Tanqueray was ahead of the curve of the new gin movement? In 1997, they released what was perhaps the most revolutionary gin to come out of a major English distillery to date. Malacca, based on a recipe by Charles Tanqueray from the grand old year 1839, was a revelation to many in the burgeoning cocktail scene. A softer, citrus-forward gin, uniquely suited for mixing in the new wave of drinks created by barmen across the country, Malacca instantly developed cult status. Unfortunately for its newfound following, Malacca was taken off shelves in 2001.
But the impact of a mixable, complex citrusy gin proved to be lasting. Discontinued bottles of Malacca commanded high prices in online auction houses, and the market eventually responded with the debut of the aforementioned new gins. Tanqueray, to its credit, released Tanqueray 10 to fill the gap, but the by now mythic Malacca had left large shoes to fill.
Many years later, the whispers you've heard are true: Malacca is back on the shelves, albeit in limited quantities. 100,000 bottles of the sauce are being released, and we've gotten our hands on a bottle of the legendary stuff.
So What Does Malacca Gin Taste Like?
Sampling the newly-reissued gin neat, grapefruit takes the lead, wrapped in a distinctly floral scent. The gin is soft and round, with prominent cinnamon and bubblegum flavors. It finishes clean and easy, almost leaving you wondering if you were drinking booze or rosewater.
To gain proper perspective, we tasted the re-released Malacca side by side with Tanqueray's classic London dry, and there's absolutely no confusing the two. Tanqueray London Dry is unapologetic and brash, but also focused, driven, and demanding of center stage. Malacca is more the little sister: contemplative, with soft, smooth edges, happy to cooperate.
A martini reveals the weaker side of Malacca: the varied botanicals and softer spices lose cohesion in the face of a touch of vermouth and melted ice, whereas the London dry's juniper kick stands tall and provides the skeleton you need to support a good stiff drink with a twist of lemon. The classic G&T is a more level playing ground, however. Tanqueray's London Dry is a rather one-dimensional strongly spiced summer refresher, but the Malacca is an effortlessly amazing spiked citrus punch.
Bottled at 80 proof and individually numbered, Malacca is listed for a suggested $28/liter. It's a no-brainer: I can't recommend this gin highly enough. It's a sip of history, and more balanced and sure of itself than many of its current imitators. It's going to be very popular though, so if you spot it, don't hesitate to snap it up!

Citigroup said Tuesday that its fourth-quarter profit fell 11 percent from a year earlier as choppy capital markets overshadowed the bank's continued recovery from the financial crisis.
The global bank made more loans around the world — even in the US — and its capital continued to improve, but a particularly weak fourth-quarter bond market turned dismal in December, hitting Citi at a sensitive spot.
Citi reported fourth-quarter earnings of $1.17 billion, or 38 cents a share, down from 43 cents a share in the same period last year. Revenue fell seven percent to $17.17 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected a per-share profit of 48 cents on $18.57 billion in revenue.
"Overall, we made solid progress in 2011," CEO Vikram Pandit said in a statement. But "clearly, the macro environment has impacted the capital markets, and we will continue to right-size our businesses to match the environment."
The bank blamed a continued weak economic recovery in developed countries and skittish investors scared by the European debt crisis, but a slew of one-time charges also hurt results.
Citi took a $40 million charge tied to the valuation of its own debt and added $557 million to its reserve for litigation. As previously announced, the bank took a $300 million charge because of its Japanese operations and a $400 million hit from 4,500 job cuts.
An aggressive push abroad has been a boon for Citi, and its strong consumer operation overseas continued to help. Rocky capital markets, however, left most of Wall Street struggling to improve.
Citi's fourth-quarter results underline the bank's struggle to offset trading, underwriting and advisory results with an upswing in lending. Overall loans rose 14 percent — international consumer loans rose six percent — excluding the impact of the weak dollar.
Similar to its fellow banks, Citi has benefited lately from reducing funds set aside to cover bad loans. Total credit costs in the fourth quarter came in at $4.1 billion, down from $4.84 billion a year earlier and $3.35 billion in the third quarter. Citi reduced its reserve for bad loans by $1.5 billion.

text: Hello, I've been a long time user of the abc notation and packages as well as lilypond. After a few years without much activity. I decided to start creating sheet music especially formatted for tablets and e-readers like the Kindle, or Nook. I used Lilypond for a collection of Christmas Carols, but I'm planning also on releasing an ebook with Children's songs. I am wondering if the abc notation with the abc2ps rendition wouldn't be more fitting to that kind of music. Anyway. My first publication is available at Heartfelt Songs.. Samples are available for free. What do you think?

When you've already bought one or two homes in the past, you might know exactly what you want in your next one. On top of that, you'll probably want a home that's move-in ready. The location might also be nonnegotiable.
In short, the older you get, the pickier of a home shopper you are. And there's research to back this up.
In a survey of 93,502 recent home buyers and sellers, about half of people 58 and older made no compromises at all during their recent home purchase, according to the National Association of Realtors. Only 28% of the youngest home buyers didn't compromise, with most making all sorts of trade-offs on price, lot size, distance from job and the style of home. In between, the older you were, the less likely you were to compromise.
"The first-time buyer is starry-eyed and has no idea what they really need. They might want a five-bedroom and never use two of them," said Stephen Melman, director of economic services for the National Association of Home Builders. Those in their 50s "are better than most housing consumers at knowing what they want—and won't be shy."
Young buyers tend to focus on needs. They need three or four bedrooms to have enough room for their kids, said real-estate agent Leslie Piper, who is also consumer housing specialist for Realtor.com. They need to be located in a good school district.
When you reach a certain age, you're going after what your desires are, she added. You've likely raised your family, now you're interested in focusing on what you want, not the kids.
And you're less willing to compromise.
But being very selective will likely make your home search tougher.
Piper has recently crossed paths with boomer buyers who were very specific in their requirements. Like the couple who has been trying to downsize into a newer home, yet have their hearts set on living in a San Francisco-area neighborhood filled with bungalows from the 1940s and 1950s. (They're still looking.) Or the couple who paid at least $100,000 over the other bids in order to buy an updated home located where they'd be able to walk to town and be close to an aging mother in her 80s.
The older you are, the newer you want your home to be, too, according to the NAR survey. Millennials (those born between 1980 and 2000) old enough to buy homes typically went for places built around 1986, a decade older than the typical home bought by someone from the so-called Silent Generation (those born between 1925 and 1945).
In fact, older buyers may give up on finding an existing home that fits all their wants and go the route of building new instead. They are more likely to have the financial wherewithal to do it, too—especially now, as housing markets have improved and fewer owners are underwater on their mortgages, meaning they owe more than the home is currently worth.
Sure enough, home builders who cater to buyers ages 55 and older have grown more optimistic in the past months. The most recent reading of the National Association of Home Builders' 55+ Housing Market Index was 53 in the second quarter, up 24 points from the same period last year. A reading above 50 means that more builders view conditions as good.
In new homes, empty nesters typically value entertaining spaces—their kitchens, eating spaces and gathering spaces—both inside and out, said Scott Thomas, director of architecture for PulteGroup.
Location also is important, and many empty nesters prefer to be within walking distance of amenities including coffee shops and theaters, Piper said. "A lot of times, when you have raised your family not close to commerce and the amenities of what a town or city might offer, you realize how nice it is to be able to ride your bike or walk and meet friends," she said.
If you're a picky home buyer, consider the following tips:
Identify your must haves: Is low maintenance important to you? Must the home be newer, so you can move in without doing much remodeling? Is entertaining important? Decide what's on your wish list, as well as which items are nonnegotiable. That will help prevent you from seeing homes that don't really fit what you want.
Do your homework: Think about what neighborhood you want to live in and learn about new developments that might suit your needs. Envision how you want to spend your future. Then do a reality check: Talk with a trusted real-estate agent about the conditions of the market and let them help you pinpoint houses, Piper said. Don't forget to check in with a good money adviser, who can help if you're considering financing part of the purchase.
Embrace technology: Mobile real-estate apps can help home buyers stay aware of new listings on the market. "You don't want to miss out on something, as particular as you are," Piper said.

Wicker bowl as banneton?
Bannetons are not easy to come by where I live - I have found none available locally. My resourceful husband found a lovely wicker bowl which *looks* like it could double as a banneton, the only difference being that the bowl is shellacked. Would this be a problem? Or should I stick to the unshellacked bannetons, only available by mail order?

The LEGO Turing Machine
Via Shtetl-Optimized, here's an excellent bit of computer science humor: the LEGO Turing machine, seen here in its natural habitat, computing away to the theme from The A-Team.
Of Researchers, Entrepreneurs and Philanthropists
Consider this quote:
I think there are some very important problems that don't get worked on naturally, that is, the market does not drive the scientists, the communicators, the thinkers, the governments, to do the right things. And only by paying attention to these things, and having brilliant people who care and draw other people in can we make as much progress as we need to.
That was said by Bill Gates at the 2009 TED conference.
The fascinating thing about the quote is that it could be used word-for-word to justify research, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy (not to mention public service and policy). An interesting reminder of their interrelationship.

Shine bright like a….
You either love it or hate it. The metallic trend. I'm a fan! I'm slowly transitioning my closet for fall/winter, and I love these metallics to brighten up an outfit. (or day…) Today's look features a metallic top and my new metallic sock booties. Let's take a look at all the glitter!
P.S I haven't been blogging as much lately, because I was busy focussing on my recovery. Read all about that here.

The island state of Tasmania sits off Australia's south-eastern edge like a jewel. It boasts natural beauty on a grand scale. Rugged mountains that in places meet the sea; wild rivers carrying waters from pristine highland lakes and Gondwanan forests of giant trees and ancient flora. Tasmania is a place where nature seems to have a slight edge over civilization. The ordered beauty of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens in the capital, Hobart, are a tranquil contrast to the state's wilderness areas. Established in 1818, its extensive tree collection contains many rare and endangered species. The conifer collection is the largest in the southern hemisphere with some species facing extinction in their country of origin. The gardens are a reminder to visitors of Tasmania's colonial past and a country the locals once called home. Those early horticulturalists and gardeners could not have known they planted the seeds of oak, chestnut, elm and birch trees in ground which would one day harbour their killer. In an unprecedented step, the Tasmanian people have been asked to help save their gardens. Scientists and experts working to eradicate the Armillaria fungus are in a race against time. For more information, please pay a visit to the following web site: http://www.clandh.com.au/rtbg/index.htm or email the gardens directly at: rtbg at ice.net.au If you are the owner or administrator of a web-site or have your own home-page and would like to help out, please set up a link to point to the above mentioned URL and send us your site's URL via reply email. You may be helping to save the lives of many endangered trees which, given the chance, will still be there for many future generations to enjoy. Public Matters, on behalf of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens Appeal.
