The New York Times Magazine called it "the business deal from hell." A husband-and-wife team in suburban Boston, Janet and Jim Baker, spent two decades building an award-winning speech recognition software company called Dragon Systems. With the help of investment bankers at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., they finally sold Dragon to Belgium-based Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products N.V. in 2000, in exchange for $580 million in Lernout stock. But Lernout collapsed just a few months later, after The Wall Street Journal unearthed massive fraud at the company, and the Bakers' big payday evaporated in a flash.
As you might expect, the Bakers were quick to point fingers at Goldman Sachs, which staffed the Dragon deal with four bankers ranging in age from 21 to 42. And as you might also expect, the media gleefully parroted the Bakers' claims. The Times's compelling account, "Goldman Sachs and the $580 Million Black Hole," made it seem like a foregone conclusion that Goldman shirked its responsibilities to the couple.
On Wednesday, a federal jury in the Bakers' hometown of Boston forcefully rejected that conclusion. Siding with Goldman's lawyers, John Donovan of Ropes & Gray and Paul Vizcarrondo of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, the jury returned a verdict that Goldman's work on the deal wasn't negligent. After alleging $300 million in damages (which could have been trebled under Massachusetts law), the Bakers and two other plaintiffs went home empty-handed.
The Bakers have been mired in litigation pretty much ever since the ill-fated sale to Lernout & Hauspie, including winning roughly $70 million in settlements from the likes of KPMG, Lernout's auditor, and Dexia S.A, Lernout's investment bank. The centerpiece of the legal battle over the Dragon deal has always been the lawsuit the Bakers brought in U.S. district court in Boston in 2009, accusing Goldman of negligence, gross negligence, and negligent misrepresentation. Two other Dragon shareholders who lost millions, Paul Bamberg and Robert Roth, joined in the suit. They were jointly represented by Jack Pirozzolo of Foley Hoag.
When the case against Goldman finally went to trial last month, the Bakers' longtime lawyer, Alan Cotler of Reed Smith, argued that Goldman had seen the Dragon sale as relatively small potatoes and therefore staffed the deal with four unsupervised, unseasoned, and incompetent bankers. During the first week of trial, Cotler described how Goldman failed to detect that Lernout was creating fake customers and pulling profit figures out of thin air. It wasn't until a Wall Street Journal reporter began calling Lernout's supposed customers that the fraud unravelled. (Lernout's founders were sentenced to prison in 2010.)
The turning point in the trial may have come during the second week, when Vizcarrondo cross-examined Janet Baker. She had testified that "the Goldman four," as they came to be called, failed to answer her questions about Lernout. To rebut that evidence, Vizcarrondo showed video clips of a deposition from 2004 in which Baker seemed to be saying that Goldman answered her questions but lied. Donovan later homed in on that seeming inconsistency during Goldman's closing argument. "In 2004 the Bakers, the Roths, and the Bambergs sued 30 other defendants, and. . .the theory of those lawsuits was, 'yeah you answered our questions, you answered all of our questions, but you lied,'" Donovan told jurors. "Now the theory is. . .that 'you didn't answer our questions. Someone didn't answer our questions.' Those two theories can't coexist."
Vizcarrondo also tried to put a human face on Richard Waynor, one of the "Goldman Four." Waynor, who is no longer at Goldman, lives in New York, so he's outside Massachusetts's subpoena power. But he agreed to take the stand in the bank's defense. When Vizcarrondo asked Waynor why he agreed to testify, he told jurors that his career had nearly been ruined by media coverage of the Dragon litigation, and he now wants to set the record straight. He broke down in tears on the witness stand, transfixing the jury.
After a month-long trial and three days of deliberation, Goldman come out on top on Wednesday. The jury not only rejected all of the Bakers' claims, but also sided the Goldman on its counterclaim that Janet Baker made negligent misrepresentations to Bamberg and Roth, the other shareholder plaintiffs, in violation of her fiduciary duties. The judge instructed the jury that they didn't even need to decide that counterclaim if they decided that Goldman acted properly. (Here's the verdict form.)
Donovan and Vizcarrondo may have lost in the court of public opinion before the trial ever started. But on Wednesday, they won the battle that really matters.

He'd build a competitor from the ground up and set his sights on developing Red Springs' athletes into well-rounded individuals. Two years into his gig, he's earned his check both on and off the field as a well-respected member of the community and now wears the crown of two-time Robeson County Coach of the Year.
"It's definitely an honor, but the credit goes first and foremost to the kids," Coltharp said. "The key these last two years is us as a coaching staff finding where each player fits into the puzzle. The kids have bought into our system and it's really worked out."
Coltharp considers his administration's head-first dive into football as being a lead contributor to the program's success. Red Springs Principal Dan Ryberg's open-door policy allows Coltharp the opportunity as the school's athletic director to implement strategies associated with winning football — the hiring of coaches and upgrades to facilities and equipment.
"When you have people, especially our principal, get behind the football program, it really makes your job as a head coach that much easier," he said. "You have a leg up on everyone else when your administration lets you hire assistants and that sort of thing."
Coltharp considers this season's individual honor more rewarding than last since his ballclub faced the pressure of winning a conference championship, something it hadn't done in seven years. Building on a 10-win season in 2011 was the goal, albeit stressful. Fueled by a record-setting junior quarterback and talent at the skill positions, the Red Devils finished two wins away from the state title game for the second straight season and Coltharp's 20 victories over the last two years is the most by any coach in nearly three decades at Red Springs.
Considered one of North Carolina's best up-and-coming offensive minds, Coltharp's Air Raid attack hasn't been stopped in the Three Rivers Conference over the last two seasons utilizing a variety of screens, jet sweeps and quick slants to keep the opposition off balance. Coltharp lost his top assistant Joe Salas to West Bladen in the off-season but managed a more potent offense after assuming full play-calling duties.
"Honestly, it's pretty neat to get credit for a season of hard work because I've been at the other side of that too," Coltharp said. "It's not fun being at the bottom and winning gives me the opportunity to say, 'Hey, maybe I'm a good football coach after all.'"

If you were around this week, you may have heard and even seen activity from the Jupiter zone. As I mentioned in my last post, this snowpack has started to get a bit active. We had another natural release in the center of Scott's bowl on Tuesday. David took a closer look at the slide and determined a snow hair had bounced across the bowl and found the weak spot. Yes, sometimes all it takes is a rabbit to cause an avalanche. The following couple days we returned to Main Bowl and Scott's with explosives to attempt to clean out the remaining weak snow. Bruce Tremper, director of the Utah Avalanche Center joined us in Scott's on Thursday and shot some great video. Thanks again Bruce for helping out!
As I started reading this I wondered what a "snow hair" was. The next sentence mentions a rabbit.
Oh yeah, "hare"

Planning for 2013: Income Tax Considerations to Address NowDeloitte Insights video |
Tax benefits can differ from year to year – even when there isn't an election to consider. For high-income individuals, it's important to have a multiyear perspective and conduct "what if" scenario planning while working towards tax and financial planning objectives. Tune into this episode of Deloitte Insights to learn about the benefits of year-round planning.
Clint Stretch, Managing Principal, Deloitte Tax LLP
Edward Gershman, Partner, Deloitte Tax LLP
It's time for Insights, a video news production of Deloitte LLP. Now here's your host, Sean O'Grady.
Sean O'Grady (Sean): Hello and welcome to Insights, where today we will be discussing income tax considerations for 2013. Joining us in New York for the conversation is Clint Stretch, the Managing Principal of Tax Policy within Deloitte Tax LLP. Prior to working for Deloitte, Mr. Stretch served as a Legislation Counsel to the U.S. Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation and as an attorney-advisor to the Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue Service. And now joining us remote today from Chicago is Eddie Gershman. Eddie is a partner within Deloitte Tax LLP's Private Company Services and the leader of the Individual Income Tax Competency. Eddie, I would like to begin with you in Chicago. We are still in the middle of the 2012 tax season and you are here today to talk about 2013, so why do you feel it is important for us to take this long look ahead?
Eddie Gershman (Eddie): Well, Sean, the truth of the matter is there just aren't any simple, quick, reliable things, any magic bullets that an individual — especially a high-net-worth individual — can rely on and know that they're going to get the results that they want. Even in the most straightforward of legislative environments — and we are far from a straightforward legislative environment currently — when you enter into a transaction, you can get some type of an odd result. So, for example, you might contemplate a large or a significant charitable contribution. If you look at making that contribution this year or next year, for all sorts of odd reasons, you are potentially going to get a very different tax benefit one year versus the other. The same could be said for the sale of a business or a significant capital gain event.
If you look at realizing a transaction in one year versus another year, you're likely to get a different tax result for any number of reasons. So, that tells me a couple of things. One, it's important to look at your tax planning with a multiyear perspective in order to position yourself to conduct some "what-if" scenario planning, like what if I have this transaction this year and what would the results be if I defer it to another year. It helps you quantify the possible results from these scenarios. The other thing it tells me is the importance of looking at your tax planning on a long-term basis and being committed to looking at it on a long-term basis, really marrying together that with the idea of doing some multiyear planning. And then finally, in terms of the timing for doing your tax planning, you've probably heard of the term, "year-end planning" and I guess if it is the end of the year and you haven't done your planning yet, then it's okay to start your planning at the end of the year. But I like the term, "year-round planning" more. There is no time like the present. You want to start looking at things today. Obviously, you're not going to do your tax planning on a daily basis, but if you look at things today, then you will reevaluate them throughout the course of the year. You're going to be best positioned to realize the tax and financial planning objectives that you're hoping to realize.
Sean: Thank you for that, Eddie. I am going to pose the same question to you, Clint, because it's almost like we're talking about "year-ahead planning." What is it about an election year, about 2013, that you think folks need to be taking into consideration right now in doing their tax planning?
Clint Stretch (Clint): I think the real challenge is, we have an excruciating amount of uncertainty in the system. The estate taxes are going to go away or they're going to go up. It depends on which political party you listen to. We're going to have higher rates or we're going to have lower rates, depending on who you listen to. But if nothing happens, we have a radically different tax system in 2013 and then a promise of tax reform after that. So, the task for an individual is to figure out what is their own personal view of the future. They have to do the hard work of having a prediction so they can do that year-round and multiyear tax planning in as informed manner as possible, while keeping an eye on Washington because things may change — things will change.
Sean: Well, let's walk through that a little bit because you mentioned that there are really three potential paths — things stay the same, things go up, things go down — to make it really simple. How would an individual go about preparing for those three options all at once?
Clint: I think the first thing is to understand what the options are and then to back up and look at overarching political reality — where are you and what do you think is going to happen? So, the options are for the Bush tax cuts to go away, to return to the kind of tax rates that we had in the Clinton era — the top rate is at 39.6% for ordinary income, 20% for capital gains income, plus the new health insurance tax that would push it up another 3.8%. So, that's one end of the spectrum. At the other end of the spectrum are proposals from conservatives that would eliminate tax on investment income, that would lower taxes, and lower rates as they lower taxes. Then in the middle is the idea of some kind of broad-based reform. Lower the rate but bring in tax in other ways, so you still have the revenue that the government requires.
So, when you know those are the options, the next question is, do I think taxes can go down? And I think a lot of people will look at it and say that is hard thing to accomplish because we have the cost of Medicare going up dramatically, the cost of Social Security going up dramatically. If you start cutting taxes, then you're going to have to cut even more benefits than already required by the dynamics of the economy. And so most people, I think, would conclude that — like it or not — taxes probably aren't going down. Then the question is, well are they going up, and if so, how? Are they going to up as higher rates? Are they going to go up by taking away deductions and credits and things like that? That's a hard thing to puzzle out.
When I look at it, I think the answers are clearly nothing is happening this year. In 2013, the most likely thing is we have the law that we have now because if we can't fix it before the election, the temptation after the election to just kick the problem into 2013 and do a tax reform will be pretty big.
Sean: Thank you for that, Clint. Eddie, I want to take that question over to you as well. What are you advising your clients? How are you preparing them?
Eddie: Well, it's interesting because, with all the complexity out there, it really is difficult for people to think through this. So, what we are focused on is that people need to recognize that you just don't have the luxury of deferring your tax planning while Congress is sorting out exactly what it is that the legislative landscape is going to look like. So, a decision to do nothing — and it is tempting to do nothing in the face of all that uncertainty — a decision to do nothing is still a decision and it's probably not the right decision for our clients. So, what we're really focused on in terms of our conversations with them is planning, planning, and more planning.
Clint outlined these multiple outcomes for consideration — and not just the outcome but the timing of the outcome. So, what we are trying to do and encouraging people to do is to plan within each of those potential outcomes, and to form an opinion as to which they think may be most likely; but to have a plan for each of them because if you don't do the heavy lifting now, what very likely may occur is that the end of year may very well be when you're first getting a glimpse what 2013 will really be like, and if you can go ahead and do the heavy lifting today and work your way through these multiple potential outcomes, you're positioned to actually do something quickly. You're ready and you're prepared to do something quickly if you need to, and that's really what we're trying to help our people do — to think through the multiple outcomes we might see and to have a plan within each of them.
Clint: If I might add to that, I think it's absolutely right that not doing anything is making a decision, and a lot of what goes into personal wealth planning is figuring out how to make money because if you don't make money, you're not going to have it. So, that is step one and tax is the thing you do after you make money. What we've seen in the past tax reforms is they take a long time. They don't happen all at once. So, we don't have a presidential proposal, we don't have a Congressional proposal from the leadership that is comprehensive and can give you the road map. We have some uncertainties. It is not unusual in those circumstances that the law putters along, essentially unchanged for a while, and then you begin to see the direction that is going to emerge. We'll begin to see that after the election, but it's not going to happen all at once. So, to plan on the basis of the present law and then introduce a range of uncertainty around it — that seems to be the right angle. But to do nothing may have you left in the wrong investments, left with the wrong strategies, from the topline point of view, and if the topline is wrong, the bottom line is not going to be right.
Sean: We've been talking a little bit about the preparations. We got a little into the horse betting where we think this might go, so my last question for both of you, and we can just begin here with you Clint, and that is what kind of cues are you looking for? Is it something from the government? Is it something from the economy at large? What is your finger? What pulses are you on here?
Clint: One of the things I've concluded watching the debt limit debate, the super committee debate, the payroll tax debate is — Washington is not going to solve this problem by itself. It doesn't know how to do it. If the politicians could solve this, it would be solved. And so what I am watching is, what's happening in the body of politics, how is Main Street reacting, how is Wall Street reacting, what is happening in debt markets, and I think we will begin to see some clues out of the private sector that show us when they are losing patience with the amount of gridlock. And then things will start to move forward. So, I am watching that and that is very hard to watch.
The other thing I am watching is the political world in terms of who is up and who is down. When we get results from the election, that will tell us a lot of things. It will tell us who controls the Senate, who controls the House, who is in the White House, and what the potential for compromise is. You know one of the things that happens with elections is the ability of people within the Congress to compromise shifts depending on the makeup of the political parties and whether they're more centrist or more out on their wings, so that's what I'm watching.
Sean: So, macro-level view on both sides. Eddie, your thoughts and what are the cues you are looking for?
Eddie: Well, I would add to that just a couple of things. One is instead of cues, I would like to see people working with advisors who can help keep them apprised of what is going on legislatively because there are things occurring on a regular, if not a daily, basis and being apprised of the ongoings in Congress is an important part of this. And beyond just being apprised of it, by working with a trusted advisor they may even be able to help you shape your own views on what potential outcomes you perceive might occur. As Clint mentioned, the election in November is going to be a big happening and something that we are clued into as well. And then finally, what I would come back to this whole idea that people have been dealing with this sense of gridlock for quite some time and a high-net-worth individual has been making decisions within that framework— decisions with respect to the investment choices they're making or transactions they might be considering or whether it's their gift or estate planning or even their risk profile — and those decisions have been affected by the gridlock they've been facing. And what I'm really looking forward to is, as the gridlock eases and as we sort of get a sense of where things are going to go legislatively, it's really going to be important for everybody to go back and reevaluate the decisions in each of those categories even more. Because whatever the outcome is going to be of all the different potential outcomes, once we know it, there are lots of opportunities that are going to need to be unearthed and discussed with your advisor.
Sean: So basically keep your eyes open and make sure your intel is good. Gentlemen, thank you both for joining us. Alright, we have been discussing tax considerations for 2013 with Clint Stretch and Eddie Gershman, both of Deloitte Tax LLP. If you would like to learn more about Clint, Eddie, or any of the topics discussed on today's broadcast, you can find that information on our website. It is http://www.deloitte.com/insightsus.
For all the good folks here at Insights, I am Sean O'Grady. We will you see next time.

Your Child's Brain in Week 103
Sometime very soon, you may catch your toddler feeding a plastic doughnut to her toy lion. Or she may load a toy dump truck with make-believe rocks and trees (and maybe also miniature plastic frogs and dinos), drive it somewhere ("Zoo!"), and then dump the whole load.
When these scenarios arise, realize that your child is—at long last!—pretending, or using objects symbolically to represent things in the real world. In fact, when coupled with her burgeoning imagination, toys and other props around your house will ultimately help your toddler reenact the real-life episodes she witnesses around her. What skill!
What the Research Shows
Researchers enlisted toddlers aged 15, 18, and 24 months and offered each one six test "episodes" involving pretend play. For any given episode, the researcher demonstrated how to do a specific task, then encouraged the child to complete the same sequence. For example, using props (a basin, dolls, and a towel) the researcher pretended to bathe two dolls, then pretended to dry just one. Next, she asked the child, "Can you use the towel to dry the baby who is all wet?" To complete the episode, the child would have had to keep track of the following:
- what had just happened—that is, what she had seen and comprehended that the researcher had done with the items
- the purpose of each prop (i.e., towels are for drying)
- which dolls had been "bathed" (and therefore were "wet," needing drying)
- which doll had been "dried" (and so didn't need attention)
- what steps were required of her now
So how did the toddler subjects fare?
Most of the 15-month-olds did not select the appropriate prop, so were unable to continue the pretend episode. (At this age, their receptive language, memory skills, and ability to follow the sequence of events weren't keen enough for them to recognize what the experimenter wanted.)
Toddlers at 18 months recognized that the adult experimenter was pretending. Many would mimic what the experimenter had done at the beginning of the episode but were unable to continue the pretend sequence as instructed.
The 24-month-olds were most successful: They understood each episode and entered into collaborative pretend play with the adult partner, keeping track of and finishing off the tasks as requested. In other words, at around two years old these toddlers' imaginations had developed enough that they could easily catch on to the pretend situations and to how they could be involved in them.

Those sure are dream specs you posted. As a tech nerd I would like to just see a 17" Retina display, even if I couldn't buy one.
But even though they are dream specs, they may not be far from the truth. The Air has been out for a while now, and my theory is they have been waiting for Ivy Bridge to expand that design. If not now, when? And it would certainly leave the competition on the back foot.

N.Y. woman charged in connection with arson, ambush slaying of 2 firefighters
WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) — A 24-year-old woman was arrested Friday and charged in connection with the guns used in the Christmas Eve ambush slaying of two volunteer firefighters responding to a house fire in upstate New York.
Dawn Nguyen of Rochester faces a federal charge of knowingly making a false statement, U.S. Attorney William Hochul said. She also was charged with a state count of filing a falsified business record, State Police Senior Investigator James Newell said.
Newell said the charges are connected to the purchase of an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun that William Spengler had with him Monday when firefighters Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka were gunned down. Three other people were wounded before the 62-year-old Spengler killed himself. He also had a .38-caliber revolver, but Nguyen is not connected to that gun, Newell said.
Hochul said Nguyen bought the two guns on June 6, 2010, on behalf of Spengler, who as a convicted felon was barred from possessing weapons. Police used the serial numbers on the guns to trace them to Nguyen.
"She told the seller of these guns, Gander Mountain in Henrietta, N.Y., that she was to be the true owner and buyer of the guns instead of William Spengler," Hochul said. "It is absolutely against federal law to provide any materially false information related to the acquisition of firearms."
"It is sometimes referred to acting as a straw purchaser and that is exactly what today's complaint alleges," he said.
Police say Spengler went with Nguyen to Gander Mountain and picked out the weapons himself. During an interview late on Christmas Eve, she told police she had bought the guns for personal protection and that they were stolen from her vehicle, though she never reported the guns stolen.
The day after the shootings, Nguyen texted an off-duty Monroe County Sheriff's deputy with references to the killings. She later called the deputy and admitted she bought the guns for Spengler, police said Friday.
That information was consistent with a suicide note found near Spengler's body after he killed himself.
The .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle, which had a combat-style flash suppressor, is similar to the one used by the gunman who massacred 20 children and six women in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school earlier this month. Continued...
Nguyen and her mother, Dawn Welsher, lived next door to Spengler in 2008. On Wednesday and again on Friday, shortly before her arrest, she answered her cellphone and told The Associated Press that she didn't want to talk about Spengler. Her brother, Steven Nguyen, told the Democrat and Chronicle newspaper of Rochester that Spengler stole the guns from Dawn Nguyen.
A number listed in the name of her lawyer, David Palmiere, was disconnected.
Spengler set a car on fire and touched off an inferno in his Webster home on a strip of land along the Lake Ontario shore, took up a sniper's position and opened fire on the first firefighters to arrive at about 5:30 a.m. on Christmas Eve, authorities said. He wounded two other firefighters and an off-duty police officer who was on his way to work.
A Webster police officer who had accompanied the firefighters shot back at Spengler with a rifle in a brief exchange of gunfire before the gunman killed himself.
Spengler spent 17 years in prison for killing his grandmother in 1980.
Investigators still haven't released the identity of remains found in William Spengler's burned house. They have said they believe the remains are those of his 67-year-old sister, Cheryl Spengler, who also lived in the house near Rochester and has been unaccounted for since the killings. The Spengler siblings had lived in the home with their mother, Arline Spengler, who died in October. In all, seven houses were destroyed by the flames.
Investigators found a rambling, typed letter laying out Spengler's intention to destroy his neighborhood and "do what I like doing best, killing people."
He had been released from parole in 2006 on the manslaughter conviction, and authorities said they had had no encounters with him since.
The federal charges carry a maximum penalty of ten years imprisonment, a fine of $250,000 or both.

Niel Nitin Mukesh and Bipasha Basu intend to dazzle you with this so-called thriller titled 'Aa Dekhen Zara'. However, it appears that the movie disappoints and it does that big time. Read the review of 'Aa Dekhen Zara' from some of the top online sites and watch the stills from the movie
Rating – 2/5
"Director Jehangir Surti can't do much since he's saddled with a poor script. Music is the sole saving grace. The songs are youthful and energetic, one of the reasons why AA DEKHEN ZARA has generated tremendous interest. Cinematography is good. The chase and stunts are well canned.
On the whole, AA DEKHEN ZARA had the potential to be an exciting fare, but the post-interval portions prove a deterrent. The fantastic promotion coupled with the popular musical score will ensure ample footfalls in the opening weekend, but the film lacks the stamina to run steadily."
Rating – 1.5/5
The hero and the heroine are chased on cars and boats across Bangkok, as they periodically go heaving their chests and dancing at goons' dens. The plot itself has such fat loopholes you could stuff a full buffalo inside. The clock still ticks to a countdown of the hero's death. That's the problem with knowing the future. You also know when you're going to die. It means a blank picture in this camera
Rating – 1/5
For a thriller, Aa Dekhen Zara is awfully snail-paced, and every moment in that dark-room waiting for photographs to develop feels like real time. Neil Nitin Mukesh is stiff for the most part and fails to leave much of an impression. Bipasha Basu, saddled with a thankless role, can't do much to help either.
First-time director Jehangir Surti fails to inject that edge-of-the-seat excitement into this thriller, making it a long, tedious affair. I'll go with one out of five for Aa Dekhen Zara; believe me the future has never looked so bleak.
I didn't think "Aa Dekthen Zara" was a great movie, but I did enjoy it enough to recommend it. Obviously, the movie has some eye to previous Western classics such as "Blow Up" and, more fleetingly, "Rear Window." It adds a sci fi/ fantasy twist in the form of a 'magical' camera. It does not have the resonance of the aforementioned films, but it does have an unflagging cleverness. The 'clock is ticking' premise is hardly new, but it does work in the context of this film. If you love plot twists, this film abounds in them – I won't ruin the film by describing them. Cleverness is not genius, of course, but it does have its entertainment value. I watched this film with a brother who doesn't have much use for Bollywood and he was drawn in. And the film addresses the question of, as the old Tubes song goes, What Do You Want From Life? – not in any deep sense perhaps, but it has its moments. If you approach the film with more modest expectations, you might enjoy the thing more. So I think anyhow…Greg Cameron, Surrey, B.C., Canada

The Space Shuttle Atlantis landed back at Cape Canaveral on Thursday at 5.57am, heralding the end of NASA's 30 year shuttle programme.
It has been NASA's longest running space flight programme and in the words of Commander Christopher Ferguson 'After serving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle has earned its place in history. And it's come to a final stop."
Only 12 people have walked on the Moon – all of them American, and so it is only through these handful of astronauts that we can glean any real information as to the atmospheric conditions up there. Apollo 17 astronaut, Gene Cernan gives us an insight to the mysterious smell of moondust. You might be wondering how he could smell the moons surface as they were fully covered in their lunar spacesuits, but the trouble with moondust is that it suffers from a terrible case of static cling (bit like my hair actually!). This I am informed is due to the solar winds constantly bombarding it with electrons. Therefore, after every moonwalk, although the astronauts did their best to remove the dust, it was trampled back inside the lander on their boots and also on their helmets and gloves.
Once the helmets and gloves were taken off, the astronauts could feel, taste and smell the moon. It apparently feels soft like snow but has an abrasive quality, and the smell is akin to burnt gunpowder. All the astronauts are in agreement with the smell, and are all very specific that it is like burnt gunpowder not the unfired variety. Curiously, back on Earth, moondust has no smell whatsoever. There are a few theories as to why this might be as follows…
The moon is akin to a 4 billion year old desert, incredibly dry. Once the moondust came into contact with the moist air inside the lunar module it began to give off odour in a similar way to the the smell that we get here as the first big splats of rain hit the pavement after a hot dry spell.
Another theory is that the the smell comes from the evaporation of gases caused by the solar winds once in contact with moist air.
There is yet another theory that oxygen when combined with the chemicals in the moondust could create oxidation which, although too slow for smoke or flames, could produce a burnt aroma.
So, if any of these theories apply then the samples brought back for study would already have been 'pacified', and any smelly chemical reactions therefore, would have ended long ago.
Nasa plans to send people back to the moon in 2018, and hopefully we will be able to discover more about the smell of the moon. In the meantime, whilst researching moon information I came across this recipe for your own home made moon oil….have fun
13 drops of sandalwood oil
9 drops of vanilla extract
3 drops of jasmine oil
1 drop of rose oil
Mix oils together prior to the next full moon and then place on a windowsill in a clear container overnight in the light of the moon. This captures the energy of the moon. Use to anoint yourself or in an oil burner when you feel that you need a burst of moon energy…and of course dont forget to let me know how you get on with all your newfound energy!

At Midwest City prayer breakfast, FBI agent talks about Martin Luther King Jr.'s influence
James Finch, FBI special agent in charge for the Oklahoma City Division, was among guest speakers at Midwest City's 16th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day prayer breakfast Monday at the Reed Conference Center.
MIDWEST CITY — A diverse group of speakers shared inspiring words at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day prayer breakfast Monday, including an FBI agent who said the civil rights leader's "dream" helped him decide his career path.

James E. Finch, who is based in Oklahoma City as FBI special agent in charge, was one of two guest speakers who spoke at Midwest City's 16th annual prayer breakfast honoring King. It was at the Reed Conference Center, 5800 Will Rogers Road.
Finch, originally from Omaha, Neb., told the prayer gathering of about 400 people that he was 9 years old when King was shot and killed in 1968. He said he was nearing his 18th birthday when his mother's employer, an FBI agent, asked him if he would consider working for the law enforcement agency.
Finch said he was forthright with the agent, telling him that he thought of the federal agency as the "big police" — and all he knew of the police was seeing them beat blacks in his neighborhood. Finch said the agent responded simply, saying that the FBI protects the rights of all citizens.
Finch said King's teachings, particularly his dream of a nation where people would be judged on their character, not race, were among the factors that influenced him to eventually go to work for the FBI. He said he is proud to work for an agency that protects Americans' civil rights.
"I know Dr. King is smiling on us today," Finch said.
The breakfast also included comments from Nathaniel Batchelder, director of the Peace House, who said King, like the biblical prophets, spoke "truth to power" even though it made others uncomfortable.

Dassault Systèmes and National Composites Centre Join Forces to Lead Innovation in Composites Products and Processes
29/03/2012New £25m Centre for Advanced Composites Industry Selects 3D Experience Platform
JEC Composites Paris 2012, France and Bristol, UK –March 29, 2012 – Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, and the UK National Composites Centre (NCC), today announced the signature of a partnership to create a collaborative environment where the NCC and its partners will work on tomorrow's advanced composites products, thanks to Dassault Systèmes' Version 6 3D Experience platform. As the first official Associate Member, Dassault Systèmes joins other companies and enterprising academics, to develop new methods and technologies to become the UK's hub for design and rapid manufacture of high quality composite products.
Inaugurated in November 2011 and located in the Bristol & Bath Science Park (UK), the NCC provides its members with a collaborative modeling and simulation environment based on Dassault Systèmes' V6 solutions to develop innovative composites products in a neutral space, with unique design-to-manufacturing user experiences. Companies working together with academics will be able to explore, test, and validate design, as well as engineering and manufacturing options.

"The NCC is critical to global composite industry development, and is an ideal partner for us. Building strong partnerships with leading composites academic institutions, research centers, and industry clusters worldwide is a key focus for Dassault Systèmes to remain at the leading edge of technological innovation."
The NCC is located on Bristol & Bath Science Park and is owned and operated by the University of Bristol, and draws on established links to world class composites research at Bristol and other UK Universities. The NCC is part of the first Technology and Innovation Centre – for High Value Manufacturing. The HVM TIC will provide an integrated capability and embrace all forms of manufacture using metals and composites, in addition to process manufacturing technologies and bio-processing. It will draw on excellent university research to accelerate the commercialisation of new and emerging manufacturing technologies. This was the first of an elite network of Technology and Innovation Centres that are being established by the Technology Strategy Board with over £200m of Government investment overall.
The NCC's mission is 'To be an independent, open-access national centre that delivers world-class innovation in the design and rapid manufacture of composites and facilitates their widespread industrial exploitation.'
In November 2009 the Government launched the UK Composites Strategy. This highlighted the importance of composites to the future of UK manufacturing and the Government's plans for ensuring that the UK has the means to succeed in intensely competitive global markets.
The High Value Manufacturing Catapult Centre is a business-focused consortium of centres that makes world-leading technical capability available to businesses to address their manufacturing challenges, giving access to world-leading manufacturing technology & expertise, and capability to undertake collaborative R&D projects & contract research, as well as skills development at all levels
A key part of this strategy was the establishment of the National Composites Centre (NCC), which brings together dynamic companies and enterprising academics to develop new technologies for the design and rapid manufacture of high-quality composite products. The combination of academic and business strengths will speed progress from laboratory to design to factory and into products.
The NCC is a £25m investment supported by: the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (£12m); the South West RDA (Regional Development Agency) (£4m); and £9m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Problems of designing your bedroom should not prevent you from giving brand. Indeed, today the means made it easier for everyone to come up with a design proudly present. People with different personalities can now submit their individuality. Example of contemporary music's love of music through musical art hanging on the wall in his room and not out of it.
Here are tips on how to make your bedroom a little of his personality:
1. Ask yourself what kind of person you want to represent your room
It is easy to say you want your space for your embodied personality, but it is difficult to decide how to view results. How will you represent your perky personality? How can you translate your bedroom Fund for fashion? These are just some of the questions you answer. One effective tip would be to create a theme for the room. If you want it to have a happy feel, use colors. However, be careful. If you are, your room will eventually disaster false color.
2. Think of the pieces that go into the room
various items that will go in the bedroom will talk a lot about you. Your choice of bed gives your style. If you have a modern style, as you probably want to get sharp design. To create a modern design, you probably keep your eyes on the bed with bold designs with a creative mix of colors and shapes. Several pieces today can represent your personality. If you are a relaxed person, you can achieve relaxation chamber with a background of tropical wall decor.
3. Customize some of the items that are in the room
if your room is furnished in advance, doing not change anything. Note that you can still put their brand by personalizing some of the items that will be used in the room. You can always sew curtains and drapes for your windows. Adapting some of your accessories, a great way to your bedroom is personal contact that you want. Our bedroom can represent our personality. Careful selection of furniture and color schemes can achieve. Sometimes, just add a personal accessory that you can.
Each room can be challenging style, especially if you do not have the background scene. This should not prevent you from giving your bedroom a little of his personality. There are simple ways to do this if you are willing.

Hey, what do you do RNG for? Breeding or just catching Pokemon?
Also, how much does your EV training and reduction service cost?
I was the captain of the S.S. Cool Dudes.
My shop, WildShot's PokeSwap and Shop! Now open!
My Black FC is 4084 0904 9722.
So, I decided to take the Pokemon Personality Quiz on DragonflyCave.com. I answered all of the questions honestly and got... this.
I don't know what the writer was smoking.
My shop is officially re-opened. I needed an extra day to get it back up, but I think it will be worth it. As noted on the original post (OP), if you had an approved request which had not been completed which you still want done, PM me about it. This, however, does not go for RNG requests. I will be re-opening those at a later date.
Have you considered a shop partner?
I've been wanting to open a shop since I have a quite large collection of flawless events/shinies ( about a full box of flawless events, and 3 boxfulls of flawless Shinies)
BUT, I can't clone, which makes things very troublesome, So it comes down to the point.
Your shop looks Like it could use afew more pokemon, and you can clone. why not partner up?
please consider it I can PM you my full list of pokemon if you're curious about exactly how large it is

Collagen Supplements..?
The idea that swallowing some collagen supplements, derived from cows cartilage, will contribute to the health of your body's own collagen is, in our opinion, hard to swallow! And yet thousands of people consume collagen and so called 'hydrolyzed' collagen, as supplements in the belief that it will help them regain a youthful appearance.
With ageing, the body's natural production of collagen begins to slow down and free radical damage caused by sun exposure and pollution means skin loses its elasticity and becomes more prone to wrinkles.
Collagen supplements are supposed to reverse this natural loss of collagen but it is difficult to see how swallowing some cow collagen could possibly help. For a start, collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and so we already have several kilos of it. So the few milligrams of cow collagen in a supplement is completely irrelevant, particularly since our digestive enzymes will break it down in to a few simple amino acids – as we can't absorb collagen anyway!
The good news is that you can look after your own collagen by eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, staying out of the sun and by not smoking.
One group of nutrients, found in fruit and vegetables called flavonoids have for a long time been recognised as being important to health. But more recently, a division of the flavonoid family called anthocyanidins have been identified as being particularly important in supporting and repairing collagen-rich structures in the body. In plants, these anthocyanidins are responsible for the pigments that give fruit and berries their fabulous rich colours.
Some evidence suggests that anthocyanidins protect and strengthen collagen and elastin by literally blocking the action of free radicals and destructive enzymes called collagenases known to progressively weaken our collagen as we age. The trouble is most people just don't eat enough of these foods to have a significant effect.
Colladeen Visage® contains an impressive level of anthocyanidins, one of the highest levels available and it is a convenient, reliable source.

New to VB. I am looking to start playing again 2-3 times a week. Evenings and weekends. Casual player. Enjoying volleying. Not very competitive driven. Anywhere between VB and Norfolk.
Anyone who lives in Virginia Beach area that wants to play? I play between a 4.0-5.0 level but I haven't been out to hit in months and I really want to start going again. Let me know!
Olo friends :) I'm Jen and have been in the area a little over 4 months now. I've re-acquainted my bf to the game and I even got us both shiny new rackets for Christmas, and now I'm ready to use mine! I don't think he wants to get out in the cold, so if anyone is interested I know I am so send me a message or a friend request! I've also only been to one court in the area so I would love to branch out if possible (the one I went to was on General Booth in VA Beach). Anyhow, let me know if anyone wants to meetup for a little hitting action!
whats up everyone im joe, i joined last year but have been in and out of port. i would be down to play anyone anytime in hampton rds, norfolk, va beach chesapeake area. i havent played in awhile but definitely want to get back into it more than i have been. lemme know whats up...
Hey everybody whats up? Pretty rusty here but picking the game back up. Would love to hit with someone around the Norfolk area, but I can drive pretty much anywhere in Hampton Roads if that's not convenient. I played competitively in high school though I have nooo idea what my rating would be now. Send me a message if you want to play!
Is anyone (ODU, Churchland) interested in a game in the near future? I play at least once a week and I want more of a challenge. I have no idea what my rating is, or would be, I describe myself as an average hitter with decent wheels.
Player with over 20 years experience, for some unknown reason quit playing about 10 years ago, was 3.5-4.5 at one point from 20s-40s, now 58. Can not give up on the game, want to slowly see if I can pick up my baseline passing game with any folks who play on the Lagomar, Hells Point area courts which is right up the street from where I live. Singles or doubles, mixed or not. I just want to start playing again and it is a fitness issue as well though I cycle and kayak I am not the hustling kid I used to be so will take it slow to avoid injury but will get the hustle back. Any interested give me a shout, willing to be 5th as a backup player as well. R

Two new versions of the scam include "a foreigner telling me that Windows users all over the USA were in danger of having their computers crash. The caller wanted me to allow him remote access to my computer," reports Jeanne McCloy.
Another scam is the caller informing the recipient that his or her medication has been filled, but credit card information is needed to process the order.
Scams come in all shapes and sizes but do have a common theme. The scammer wants money. Whether the scammer claims you have won a lottery, wants to buy something you listed for sale for more money than the selling price or offers a job opportunity, remember if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is too good to be true.
If you suspect that a scammer is targeting you, contact your local law enforcement agency.
The sheriff's department may be reached at 384-1622 or 337-828-1960.
In addition to alerting the local authorities, scams may also be reported online at www.ic3.gov. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center, funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
The site also provides information and tips for the public on how scams work and how to avoid them.
