WASHINGTON - Senate Democrats and a handful of
moderate Republicans agreed Friday to push a revamped economic recovery
plan costing at least $780 billion, after a strong push from a White
House ratcheted up pressure on the gridlocked lawmakers.
The new plan, which the Senate could vote on as soon as Saturday, is
expected to pass. It slashed an estimated $110 billion from the
Democratic-authored bill that's been debated all week.
it was clear that Democratic measure lacked the 60 votes needed under
Senate rules to clear procedural hurdles. Democrats control 58 seats in
the 100-member body.
by Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., the centrists joined with two like-minded
Republicans - Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Arlen Specter of
Pennsylvania - and produced a package that, according to senators, cuts
$19.5 billion slated for school and higher education construction and
half of a $79 billion fund to help states with education spending.
trimmed were dozens of other programs, including Superfund, Head Start
and Early Start, energy loan guarantees and historic preservation.
plan would retain some key features from the Senate Democrats' bill. It
would spend $45.5 billion on infrastructure, including highway
projects; help fund water and sewer projects; provide $87 billion to
states for help with Medicaid; and give a $70 billion break from the
Alternative Minimum Tax, according to Sen. Collins, R-Maine.
compromise "cuts away many projects that are worthwhile projects but do
not belong in a stimulus package," she said, "because they have nothing
to do with turning our economy around and creating and saving jobs."
Democrats who backed the original bill explained that while they disliked the changes, they had little choice.
come from a state that has to build a school a week to stay even. But I
also come from a state with more people unemployed than some states
have population," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
The logjam broke as Obama got more involved.
Friday had turned up the pressure on lawmakers with some tough talk and
a new plan to make personal pitches for support. He acted as the
government reported that the nation's unemployment rate ballooned to
7.6 percent in January, and monthly job losses were the worst in 35
"These numbers demand action," the president said. "It is
inexcusable and irresponsible to get bogged down in distraction and
delay while millions of Americans are being put out of work. It is time
for Congress to act."
The compromise congealed when Democrats agreed to education cuts.
Sen. Ton Harkin, D-Iowa, was clearly annoyed at the concessions, but said he would support the bill.
something that needs to get done," he said, adding, "and we Democrats
need to remind people why these school cuts were made. We can't let up."
Still, most Republicans objected to the compromise.
are ready to support a stimulus bill. But we will not support an
aimless spending spree that masquerades as a stimulus," said Senate
Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
"If this legislation was passed," added Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., "it'd be a very bad day for America."
the largest generational theft bill in the history of mankind," said
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., emphasizing that the measure will add to the
national debt.
The agreement, reached after three days of
closed-door negotiations, was President Obama's first major legislative
test, and the White House made a hard last-minute push to get it.
House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel ironed out final details at a
closed-door meeting with Collins, Specter, Nelson, Democratic Leader
Harry Reid of Nevada and Independent Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut.
Emanuel then pushed the plan at what was described as a friendly 20-minute closed-door meeting of Democratic senators.
the Senate passes the bill, members from both houses of Congress are
expected to meet and craft a compromise that they hope would be ready
for final votes by the end of next week.
Obama will step up his
effort to push the process along. He's calling for millions of his
campaign supporters this weekend to gather for house parties to drum up
support - although sign-ups were quite low Friday - and Monday evening
will hold his first presidential news conference.

The president also will begin holding town hall meetings in high-unemployment cities - a
from his earlier plans to stay in Washington. Monday he'll travel to
Elkhart, Ind., where White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said
unemployment had surged in the past year from 4.7 percent to 15.3
On Tuesday, Obama plans to travel to Fort Myers, Fla., where unemployment is 10 percent.
"I think going directly to where the problems seem even more acute (is) important to the
president and important in his effort to convince Congress to move swiftly," Gibbs said.
Obama will be trying to pressure a Democratic-led Congress that, despite all the rancor,
has largely agreed on major parts of the package.
Senate and the House of Representatives separate versions of the
legislation are close on infrastructure spending numbers. Both also
have about $5 billion to help fund public housing. Both provide a $79
state stabilization fund for education programs, as well as about $13.5
billion to fund programs for children with disabilities. And both
contain Obama's "Making Work Pay" tax break for working families, which
gives most taxpayers an effective rebate of $500.
There also are
some significant House-Senate differences, notably on housing. Senate
Democrats embraced a GOP-authored plan to give a $15,000 tax credit to
people who buy new homes, recently foreclosed homes or houses facing
foreclosure. The House bill omits this.
Sen. Johnny Isakson,
R-Ga., the chief sponsor, patterned his amendment after a tax credit
that then-President Gerald Ford pushed through for anyone who bought a
home in 1975 to help alleviate a housing crisis then.
"We have a pervasive housing problem," Isakson said, "and we have a historical precedent that works."
would it? Several housing experts agree that every little bit could
help stem foreclosures - there were 3.2 million foreclosure filings in
2008, an 81 percent increase over 2007 - and boost sluggish new housing
Analysts doubt, though, that the $15,000 tax credit is
enough to have a major impact on the underlying problems that are
crippling the housing market.
"The bigger problem is the
availability of credit," said Rick Sharga, vice president of marketing
for RealtyTrac, a real estate Web site. "It will do nothing for people
in foreclosure. We have a major problem with unemployment numbers and
the tightness of available credit in the market."
Moulton, an assistant professor at the Ohio State University's John
Glenn School for Public Affairs, said the tax credit could "stimulate
the economy generally" but wondered, given the rising unemployment rate
and difficulty in obtaining credit, who'd be able to take advantage of
the offer.
Looking at the people facing foreclosure, the problem
is the high loan-to-value they are facing," she said. "They can't get
the value out of their homes - they need to get the full value out of
their homes, and I don't know if a $15,000 credit will help."

Sen. Michael Bennet learns about border security in Nogales, Arizona Wednesday
WASHINGTON — Sen. Michael Bennet will visit the Mexican border at Nogales, Arizona with another Democrat and Arizona's two GOP senators Wednesday to learn about border security.
Bennet will meet New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer and Arizona Republican Sens. Jeff Flake and John McCain at the Mexican border, according to details released Tuesday.
The group will meet with law enforcement officials and review options on border security. They will also likely talk with immigration advocates, Bennet's office said.
The four are part of the broader "Gang of Eight" working on comprehensive immigration reform legislation. That bill should be unveiled right after Easter.
There will be a press conference on the border following the tour.
It was announced last week that part of the Gang of Eight would be touring the border as part of their work together on a package.
Other senators in the group include Democrats Dick Durbin and Robert Menendez and Republicans Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.

Where can I find a proof of the de Rham-Weil theorem?

Where can I find a proof of the de Rham-Weil theorem?
Does anyone know?
If "the de Rham-Weil Theorem" means that you can compute cohomology using acyclic resolutions rather than injective ones, this is a standard result you can find in just about any book on homological algebra. The earliest reference I know is Grothendieck's Tohoku paper, Section 2.4.
Of course Weil did it (although I'm not able to give you the ref right away), and I even lectured on it in Paris 40 years ago. His method is very simple : (1) You first prove that your compact manifold X can be endowed with a Riemann structure (obvious locally, global result by using a smooth partition of unity). (2) By the general theory of Riemann spaces, there are plenty of "convex" open sets U in X, i.e. such that any two points of U can be joined by one and only geodesic arc in U. Such an open set is clearly homotopic to a point, so that every closed diff form on it is exact; the intersection of any two such "convex" sets is also convex. (3) That being said, choose a finite covering of X by convex open sets U(i) - no math available - and let omega (idem) be a form of degree p on X. There are forms omega(i) of degree p-1 in the U(i) such that omega = d[omega(i)] in U(i). Since U(i) inter U(j) = U(i,j) is convex, there are forms omega(i,j) of degree p-2 in the U(i,j) such that omega(j) - omega(i) = d[omega(i,j)] in U(i,j). By standard de Rham, there are forms omega(i,j,k) in the U(i,j,k) = U(i) inter U(j) inter U(k) such that omega(j,k) - omega(i,k) + omega(i,j) = d[omega(i,j,k)] in U(i,j,k), and so on. In this way, you eventually get forms of degree O whose alternate sums are closed, hence CONSTANTS, in the p to p intersections of the U(i). If you consider the abstract simplicial complex defined by the covering (U(i)), i.e. its so-called "nerve" (nerf in French), you thus associate to omega a cocyle of degree p (with real coefficients) of this complex. Etc, etc. You can do it all by your little self - matter of patience.
Before Grothendieck's Tohoku, there was a Cartan Seminar on sheaves theory (ca. 1948-49) in which everybody, at any rate in France, learned the theory, including Groth and myself. I even wrote a book on the subject (Théorie des Faisceaux, Paris, Hermann, 1957), which was still on sale (and found customers) two or three years ago, and possibly still is.
Don't infer from my answer I'm still doing mathematics. Roger Godement, Paris.
Andrew Fanoe, a former student of mine, wrote his senior thesis on various proofs of the DeRham theorem. In particular he discusses in detail Weil's very elegant proof of DeRham's theorem. Andrew's presentation uses a more modern language, but all the ideas are in Weil's paper. In any case, here is the link to Andrew's thesis. It's worth having a look at it. It is well written and may have references you might find useful.

SAN FRANCISCO — Pacific Gas and Electric could lose its consumer power market monopoly in San Francisco, where the giant utility is based.
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday considers a nearly $20 million contract with Shell Energy North America to provide 100 percent renewable power to San Francisco customers who want to pay a premium price.
About $2 million of that contract will be used to study local power generation options.
The San Francisco Chronicle (bit.ly/V3uUEi) says the CleanPowerSF program is designed to build a customer base and revenue stream to lay the groundwork for city-owned renewable power generation.
It also advances San Francisco's aggressive greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Divorce? What divorce? NBA player Kris Humphries would rather pretend his marriage to wife of 72 days, Kim Kardashian, never happened.
Today, Kris, 26, finally responded to Kim's divorce filing by seeking an annulment from her. Kris wants to erase his quickie marriage on the grounds that Kim defrauded him into marrying her.
Sources close to Kris tell TMZ that Kris was not in on the alleged fraud, a.k.a. he did not stage the marriage for Kim's reality show. The insiders reveal while Kris wanted and thought he had a genuine marriage, Kim was never really on board.
TMZ adds that this divorce is quickly getting nasty because Kris also wants Kim to pay his attorney's fees.
Kim is, however, not wasting any time firing back at Kris, with
Kim herself "sources" close to her insisting to TMZ that she really loved Kris and the marriage was legit, despite falling apart in just 72 days.
Kim is telling others she originally wanted an annulment and filed for divorce after being told it was her only legal option. Kim is also claiming Kris and her discussed annulling the marriage before she filed for divorce, but were advised there was no legitimate grounds for an annulment.
TMZ states that under California law, annulments are only granted with proof of impotency, incest, bigamy, unsound mind, force or fraud. Kris's papers state that in the case he's denied an annulment, he wants a legal separation – and not a divorce. However, some legal experts are stating it will be very difficult for Kris to prove fraud in court.
I have to wonder if Kris' annulment filing had anything to do with the premiere of Kourtney and Kim Take New York. In a review I wrote before the show aired, I stated that Kris seemed to truly love his wife, appearing like lovesick puppy, while Kimmie seemed pretty much over the marriage. She was quick to get angry with him and seemed more concerned with creating good TV drama by agreeing to move in with her sister Kourtney and her family.
Meanwhile, sources close to Kris tell the HollywoodLife blog that a reconciliation with Kim is completely out of the question. "Kris is no longer heartbroken and he's ready to move on," reveals the source. "His main focus is basketball and he has been hustling for contract opportunities."
Kris is now reportedly "trying to show teams he's no longer associated with the Kardashians, so they aren't influenced negatively by his outside issues."
And finally, just moments ago, E! tweeted a photo of Khloe Kardashian and her husband Lamar Odom on a set filming promos for the second season of their show — Khloe & Lamar.
So folks, it appears immediately following this season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, we will get season two of Khloe and Lamar, and then the 125th season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians which is currently filming at the moment. Le sigh. These people are never going away are they? The behind-the-scenes photo is below.

Arsenal bid for Southampton's Chambers
Arsenal have made a "substantial bid" for Southampton defender Calum Chambers, ESPN sources have confirmed.
Chambers is another rising star to emerge from Southampton's celebrated academy, with the interest in his services from Arsenal being downplayed as "just rumours" by Ronald Koeman following his side's pre-season friendly game against Bournemouth on Friday.
In a summer that has already seen Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana leave Southampton for Liverpool and Luke Shaw make a £27 million move to Manchester United, more departures now seem imminent at Southampton.
Croatian centre-back Dejan Lovren is expected to follow Lambert and Lallana to Liverpool imminently, with Arsenal's move to Chambers another headache Koeman is dealing with as he settles into life as Southampton manager.
Koeman confirmed in a BBC radio interview that Lovren will join Liverpool in the coming days, but he was eager to sidestep questions about Chambers' future.
"These are all rumours," stated Koeman. "Calum didn't train yesterday and that is why he didn't play [against Bournemouth].
"The transfer window is running and running and we have to see how it goes. We are Southampton, we are not Man City, but we are rebuilding the team a little now. We will be okay."
Koeman admitted his pre-season plans were being hampered by the speculation surrounding so many of his players, with midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin another being linked with a move away from Southampton.
"Every manager likes to have from the beginning the squad he would like finally. We know we have to bring some players in and we are working very hard on that. We are very close to bringing players in, but the fans have to be patient on that.
"We will be well prepared by the time we come to play Liverpool [on the first day of the season]. When you are in the transfer window, always something can happen until the end of August."

If we hit $300k, Python will be the third language to be supported out of the gate.
RE: Open source / FAQ, scroll to the bottom.
Here's a much higher quality video: https://vimeo.com/40281991
Despite the dramatic shift toward simplification in software interfaces, the world of development tools continues to shrink our workspace with feature after feature in every release. Even with all of these things at our disposal, we're stuck in a world of files and forced organization - why are we still looking all over the place for the things we need when we're coding? Why is everything just static text?
Bret Victor hinted at the idea that we can do much better than we are now - we can provide instant feedback, we can show you how your changes affect a system.
We can do better, and to that end, light table is the redefinition of how we develop.
Light Table is based on a very simple idea: we need a real work surface to code on, not just an editor and a project explorer. We need to be able to move things around, keep clutter down, and bring information to the foreground in the places we need it most. Here's what the default mode looks like:
Light table is based on a few guiding principles:
- You should never have to look for documentation
- Files are not the best representation of code, just a convenient serialization.
- Editors can be anywhere and show you anything - not just text.
- Trying is encouraged - changes produce instantaneous results
- We can shine some light on related bits of code
Let's take a look at how these things manifest themselves in Light Table.
Docs everywhere
When you're looking at new code it's extremely valuable to be able to quickly see documentation left behind by the author. Normally to do so you'd have to navigate to the definition of the function, but lightable ghosts this information in to the side. Want to know what partial does? Just put your cursor on top of it. This makes sure you never have to worry about forgetting things like argument order ever again.
We work with new code all the time and it's easy to forget what that function that adds a link on to a page is - we should be able to search all our documentation in place to quickly see what it is. Don't remember what was in the noir.core namespace? It's one ctrl-f away.
This is especially handy for finding functions you may not even know exist and seeing their docs right there. No need to look at some other generated documentation.
Instant feedback
In Inventing on Principle, Bret showed us that we could live-edit games and write binary search in an editor that is constantly evaluating and showing you what's going on. The lispers among us are used to using the REPL to have an environment where we can try things out. But we can do better - we can do it in place and instantaneously. For example here I type the code (+ 3 4) and we immediately see that it evaluates to 7 - no ctrl-enter or anything else.
Light Table takes this idea as far as it can and doesn't just show you variables to the side, but actually shows you how the code is filled in. This lets you see how values flow through arbitrarily complex groups of functions.
This level of real-time evaluation and visualization basically creates a real-time debugger, allowing you to quickly try various inputs and watch it flow through your code. There's no faster way to catch bugs than to watch your program work.
We built drafting tables for a reason
Towards the end of my time on the Visual Studio team, I came to the conclusion that windows aren't a good abstraction for what we do. Other engineers have large tables where they can scatter drawings, tools, and other information around. A drafting table is a much better abstraction for us. We shouldn't need to limit ourselves to a world where the smallest moveable unit is a file - our code has much more complex interactions that we can better see when we can organize things conceptually.
We saw an example of this with Code Bubbles, but it doesn't take it far enough - why can't we embed a running game on our work surface? Then we can interrogate it, ask it questions and have our environment answer them for us.
Code with a little illumination
There's no reason our tools can't help us understand how things are organized in our programs. In light mode, Light Table lets you see what functions are used inside of the one you're currently working on, not just by highlighting ones in your code, but by also showing you their code to the side.
We shouldn't have to constantly navigate back and forth to see how the various bits of our code work with one another.
Finally, all of this culminates in the ability to see not just how things I type into a scratch editor evaluate, but how values flow through our entire codebase. Here I find a bug where I wasn't passing x correctly. I type (greetings ["chris"]) and immediately see all the values filled in not just for the current function but all the functions that it uses as well.
What languages will it support?
The first two languages it will support are Javascript and Clojure, but the application will be written in such a way that adding new languages can happen through plugins.
Will it be open source?
I'm a firm believer in open source software and open source technologies. I can guarantee you that Light Table will be built on top of the technologies that are freely available to us today. As such, I believe it only fair that the core of Light Table be open sourced once it is launched. At some level, this is an experiment in how open source and business can mix - it will be educational for us all.
What's a license then?
In order to download packaged distributions, you'll need a license. Preliminarily, we're thinking licenses will be based on a "pay what you can/what you believe it is worth" model for individuals. This gives everyone access to the tools to help shape our future, but also helps us stick around to continue making the platform awesome. We think what we build will be worth at least $50, and so that's what we've used for our rewards.
Why 200k?
While I can put together a prototype on my own, I certainly can't build an entire IDE in any reasonable amount of time by myself. The more money we get, the larger the team I can put together to turn this thing into a reality. The 200k, after taxes and rewards, will help us at least assemble a small team and keep us clothed, fed and housed.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the rewards shouldn't be viewed as a way to "buy" Light Table. Instead they are a way for you to help make the project a reality. I will definitely be needing help from people to build the project and without your support and donations, there isn't really a way for us to make that happen.
How long will it take?
The tentative plan is to release a full beta around the turn of the year and have an official launch May of next year. As it stands currently, it will include all the things I've shown in the video for both JavaScript and Clojure, but should we continue to get more funding we can add even more.
Does more funding mean more stuff?
Absolutely! I can hire a bigger and more diverse team so that we can add support for more languages and potentially even cooler things than I've shown in the video. We'll have to think more about what those tiers might be.
Is it a standalone app?
Yes. The fact that there's an instance of webkit as the UI layer is completely an implementation detail. It will be packaged like a normal app and it will run locally just like any other editor you're used to. This means that it can run on virtually any platform and will support the big three (linux/mac/windows) out of the gate.
Can I script/extend it?
It will be scriptable in Javascript or anything that can compile down to it :) Ultimately the goal of the platform is to be a highly extensible work surface - even the initial core languages will be written as plugins. This allows us to build development interfaces we haven't even imagined yet.
What about key bindings?
I'm a VIM guy myself, but since we'll be using the awesome CodeMirror editor, this is something that is easily adapted. If you're looking for a way to contribute, help improve CodeMirror and its emacs/vim plugins!
How can I help in the meantime?
Like I said above, help improve CodeMirror. The better that editor is, the better all editors on the internet can be! Past that, help us spread the word. The more money we get the more people I can involve in the project, the more languages we can support, and the more powerful we can make the entire platform. There's tremendous potential that we haven't even scratched the surface of yet!
And why should we believe you can deliver?
I've been programming professionally for 8 years, during which I've built websites large and small (puma.com, newbalance.com, etc), helped design the future of Visual Studio, and released numerous open source libraries and frameworks. While at Microsoft I was the Program Manager for the C# and VB IDE where I spent countless hours behind a one way mirror learning how people develop things. Since then I've steeped myself in the world of startups and OSS. I worked with the guys at ReadyForZero to build readyforzero.com, created the Noir web framework, built the SQL abstraction layer Korma, and released a host of ClojureScript libraries to make client side development a breeze - many of which are now featured in the canonical books for Clojure. Even more recently, I built Bret Victor's live game editor after watching his inspiring "Inventing on Principle" talk. I have a history of building useful software and a hunger for making developers more efficient, as well as experience leading and shaping the the future of a billion dollar product.
Why aren't t-shirts included for all rewards?
I've heard nothing but horror stories about the logistics of trying to deal with a mass amount of physical products to distribute. Dealing with that would take away valuable time and resources from the real reason we're here; to build Light Table. :)

Our Future Planet necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 123 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
Our Future Planet
The idea for Our Future Planet (http://www.ourfutureplanet.org) was developed in 2006 and the charity was established in 2008. We are currently rebranding and relaunching, and looking for a fresh, clean logo.
Our charities vision is 'harnessing global co-operation to create a sustainable future'. We are not an environmental charity (so it's important our logo isn't too environmental) and we are positive about the future of our planet, not about doom and gloom.
We will be using the logo across our social networks, so it's important that it can be fitted into a square space, i.e. twitter avatar.
We think the four most imporant keywords we'd like to reflect in the new logo are:
* Cooperation
* Bright Future
* Action
* Sustainability
We are open to ideas about including the '.org' into the logo.
We have attached our new design mockup, the logo will need to look good on the background (#333333). The new logo doesn't need to look anything like our current one, we are looking for fresh, new ideas!
Any questions at all feel free to get in touch!
Educated Youth, Educated Mainstream, Academics / Key Opinion Leaders, and Green Aware.
In the new web design we use two main colours, charcoal (#333333) and a teal like colour (#729ead). The logo doesn't need to incorporate these, but needs to be mindful that they feature quite heavily in the site design.
It's important our logo isn't environmental and we are keen to present a positive potential future. Also keen to see logos that don't feature a planet.

If your New Year's fervor to get healthy is already losing steam, February — National Cancer Prevention Month – is a great time to give yourself a second chance.
AICR's three Guidelines for Cancer Prevention can help you focus on what's most important.
Choose mostly plant foods, limit red meat and avoid processed meat. Be physically active every day in any way for 30 minutes or more. Aim to be a healthy weight throughout life. Notice anything about them? Like, for example, how closely the advice for cutting cancer risk resembles advice for preventing other chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes – not to mention for getting in shape?
It's true: these simple steps offer many different health benefits, and National Cancer Prevention Month is as good a time as any to start putting them into action.
Let's look at them one at a time: Choose mostly plant foods, limit red meat and avoid processed meat.
You already know that limiting high-calorie treats is a good idea. But did you know that if you make an effort to prepare meals focused around vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans, you'll help fortify your body against cancer?
That's what AICR's groundbreaking expert report concluded. The report also found a convincing scientific link between red and processed meats and colon cancer, so it's a good idea to limit red meat to 18 ounces of lean cuts per week and avoid processed meats like ham, hot dogs, sausage and bacon.
Be physically active every day in any way for 30 minutes or more. Remember: Every day – in any way. That means you don't need a gym membership – you just need to get your heart pumping. Being physically active for at total of least 30 minutes a day — whether you're walking, vacuuming, dancing or scuba diving – will lower your risk for colon cancer and possibly several other cancers as well. You might need to get more than 30 minutes a day in order to prevent weight gain – which is very important — but you don't have to do it all at once. Try breaking your activity into several 15- or 20- minutes sessions to fit your schedule.
Aim to be a healthy weight throughout life. And what about that goal so many of us seek right after the holidays, a healthy weight? It's the third key element that will help protect against chronic disease. In fact, carrying excess weight has been linked to six different types of cancer. The good news is that once you start following the first two guidelines about diet and physical activity, you'll find it easier to accomplish this one. So this month especially, keep these three guidelines in mind and remember: It's never too early and never too late to start making choices that improve your chances for good health (and good looks!) for 2009 and beyond.

NORRISTOWN - Norristown police say two unidentified male suspects remain at large after a shooting at the Curren Terrace Apartments Wednesday evening.
Officers responded to a report of gunfire in the 1000 block of New Hope Street just before 6 p.m. Wednesday. According to police, a 22-year-old man lost his right eye after being attacked during an attempted robbery.
Police recovered a bullet at the scene, but it was unknown whether the victim's injury was due to a gunshot or being struck in the eye with the gun.
The victim was flown by helicopter to Temple University Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
An investigation is ongoing.

18 February 2011 - Security Council - The situation in the Middle East - Palestinian draft resolution - Joint Statement of the United Kingdom, France and Germany
The United Kingdom, France and Germany are seriously concerned about the current stalemate in the Middle East Peace Process. We each voted in favour of the draft Security Council Resolution because our views on settlements, including in East Jerusalem, are clear: they are illegal under international law, an obstacle to peace and constitute a threat to a two-state solution. All settlement activity, including in East Jerusalem, should cease immediately.
Our primary goal remains a just and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We will continue to work actively to turn this ambition into reality: the creation of a sovereign, independent, democratic, contiguous and viable Palestinian State living in peace and security side by side with Israel.
Our views are clearly set out in the EU's Foreign Affairs Council Conclusions, most recently in December 2009 and 2010. We believe that Israel's security and the realisation of the Palestinians' right to statehood are not opposing goals. On the contrary they are intimately intertwined objectives.
We therefore call on both parties to return as soon as possible to direct negotiations towards a two-state solution, on the basis of clear parameters.
For those negotiations to be successful, they will need to achieve:
— An agreement on the borders of the two states, based on June 4 1967 lines with equivalent land swaps as may be agreed between the parties.
— Security arrangements that, for Palestinians, respect their sovereignty and show that the occupation is over; and, for Israelis, protect their security, prevent the resurgence of terrorism and deal effectively with new and emerging threats.
— A just, fair and agreed solution to the refugee question.
— Fulfillment of the aspirations of both parties for Jerusalem. A way must be found through negotiations to resolve the status of Jerusalem as the future capital of both states.
Despite the challenges ahead, the key elements of a solution are well known. Thanks to work commended by the international community as a whole, the Palestinian Authority has developed the capacity to run a democratic and peaceful state, founded on the rule of law and living in peace and security with Israel. Further delay will reduce rather than increase the prospects for a solution.
We therefore look to both parties to return to negotiations as soon as possible on this basis. Our goal remains an agreement on all final status issues and the welcoming of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations by September 2011. We will contribute to achieving this goal in any and every way that we can.

Continuing Research on the Savings and Loan Crisis: A Review Essay
by James Schaefer University of Evansville
The Savings and Loan crisis has been in the news since 1989. Apparently the seriousness of the situation cannot be overstated, as many have suggested that the thrift industry has been destroyed. The magnitude of the crisis has resulted in nu-merous articles and books. The topics of these writings have ranged from detailed chronologies of the entire industry (from its inception to the present) to abuses by specific people at indi-vidual thrifts.
Vol. 18, No. 1 of The Accounting Historians Journal in-cluded a review essay of three books on the crisis. Thrifts Under Siege, by R. Dan Brumbaugh [1988], analyzed the economic forces battering thrift institutions and suggested the need for dramatic reform of thrift and commercial banking. Brumbaugh was one of the first writers to devote significant attention to RAP, or regulatory accounting principles. Other People's Money [1989], by Paul Zane Pilzer, provided a discussion of the history of the industry and insight into the regulatory problems in-

6 teens killed, 2 hurt in northeast Ohio SUV crash
WARREN, Ohio (AP) -- A sport utility vehicle carrying eight teenagers crashed into a guardrail Sunday morning and flipped over into a swampy pond in northeast Ohio, killing five boys and a girl, the state highway patrol said.
The Honda Passport veered off the left side of a road and overturned just south of the city of Warren, about 60 miles east of Cleveland, Lt. Anne Ralston said. Investigators say it came to rest upside down in the swamp and sank with five of the victims trapped inside. A sixth who was thrown from the SUV during the crash was found under it when the vehicle was taken out of the water.
The two boys who survived, escaped from the submerged vehicle and ran to a nearby home to call 911, the highway patrol said.
Ralston didn't know where the teens were headed when the crash happened at about 7 a.m. She didn't have any information to release on possible causes or factors in the crash, but the highway patrol planned a news conference for Sunday night.
"All I know is my baby is gone," said Derrick Ray, who came to the crash site after viewing his 15-year-old son Daylan's body at the county morgue. He said he knew that his son, a talented football player who was looking forward to playing in high school, was out with friends, but didn't know their plans.
A pile of blue, green and copper-red stuffed bears grew at a makeshift memorial at the crash site along a two-lane road tightly bordered with guardrails on either side in an industrial area. The sport utility vehicle had sheared off tall cattails along the guardrail.
There were also notes at the memorial, including a letter from Daylan Ray's 12-year-old half-sister, Mariah Bryant, who said she had learned they were related only in the past year.
"It hurts, it really does, because they are so young and, like, they could have had so much more to life," she said. "We just really started getting close, and it's hard to believe he's gone."
Warren Fire Department Capt. Bill Monrean said a cold water rescue team was deployed to the scene and got five teens out of the submerged vehicle.
"Being a cold water rescue situation, cold water extends life," Monrean told The Associated Press.
"We knew we had a chance; even being in there a while."
Two of the teens, both 15, were brought to a hospital in full cardiac arrest, St. Joseph Health Center nursing supervisor Julie Gill said, and were pronounced dead there. She said they were treated for hypothermic drowning trauma, indicating they had been submerged in cold water.
The two who survived, 18-year-old Brian Henry and 15-year-old Asher Lewis, both of Warren, were treated for bruising and other injuries and released, she said.
All those killed were ages 14 to 19, authorities said. State police identified them as 19-year-old Alexis Cayson; Andrique Bennett, 14; Brandon Murray, 17; and Kirklan Behner, Ramone White and Ray, all 15. The Highway Patrol said Alexis was the only female in the vehicle. It wasn't clear who was driving.
Rickie Bowling, 18, a friend of Behner, sobbed at the crash scene as she recalled his playfulness and reputation as a cut-up.
"He was one of a kind," she said. "Everyone knew him in the neighborhood. In school, he always made everyone laugh."
Bowling said the tragedy highlighted the importance of savoring life. "Basically, enjoy every second in life," she said. "Enjoy life while you've got it and while you're here and enjoy people that you love."
She said she would rely on her faith in the difficult days ahead. "The only way to look at it is on the bright side: he's in a better place," she said.
Jasmine McClintock, 22, a friend of a victim, visited the crash scene and said it should serve as a warning for parents to be aware of their children's activities.
"I hope it's an eye-opener for parents," she said while watching the slow ripple of the pond water littered with debris, some apparently from the crash.
McClintock said she was troubled by the question of what the victims were doing out at that hour, not knowing if they had been out all night or left home early.
"That's the part that boggles my mind. It's like on a Sunday if you're not going to church, what are you doing at 7 a.m. out driving," she asked.
All eight were from Warren. It's not believed that any of them were closely related, the highway patrol said.
Near the Pennsylvania state line, Warren is a mostly blue-collar city that was hit by the decline of U.S. steel mills; it has more than 41,000 residents in the industrial Mahoning Valley region.
Associated Press writer Dan Sewell in Cincinnati contributed this report.


text: Friday, March 09, 2012 MedPAC Weighs Options for Outpatient Therapy Reform Yesterday at the March meeting of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), APTA provided comments on the value of physical therapy, support for short- and long-term payment reform, and an update on the associations' work on the severity/intensity model. Among its agenda items, MedPAC discussed outpatient therapy services and the mandated report it is required to deliver to Congress by June 15, 2013, as authorized by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The law specifically charges MedPAC with creating recommendations on how to reform payment under Medicare Part B and to examine private sector initiatives as they relate to outpatient therapy services. In its discussion, MedPAC considered background on therapy services and providers under Medicare, current trends in spending for outpatient therapy services, and concerns about payment policies regarding therapy services—such as the variety of settings in which therapy is provided under Medicare Part B, the growth in volume of therapy services, and variances in spending by setting and region. Commissioners also voiced concern over using diagnosis as an indicator of therapy need. MedPAC provided 4 options for the commissioners to consider: (1) major systems reform; (2) tighter coding (short-term reform); (3) improved management of the benefit; and (4) benefit refinement and improvement. APTA will work with MedPAC in the coming months as it examines ways to reform the Part B outpatient therapy benefit and prepares its recommendations to Congress.

JAMES CITY � Even though her uncle is accused of stabbing her father to death three weeks ago, Janette Pompy says, �I�m doin� good.�
JAMES CITY � Even though her uncle is accused of stabbing her father to death three weeks ago, Janette Pompy says, �I�m doin� good.�
Pompy is the 20-year-old daughter of Britts Foye, 46, who died after an altercation with his brother, 50-year-old Delgen Foye, in the early morning hours of June 14 at the James City home they shared.
Pompy � who carries her mother�s last name � says that finances have become a serious problem, especially now that she is the caregiver for her grandmother, Cora Foye. Ms. Foye, who suffers from dementia, had been under the care of Pompy�s father before his death.
�My father took care of my grandmother,� Pompy explained in an interview with the Sun Journal. �He did everything for her.�
Pompy is currently living in the Duffyfield area where she cares for her grandmother and is a single mother to 4-year-old Janea.
She remembered her father as someone she was close to.
�I went to see my father every day,� she said. �We had a close relationship. Anything I wanted or needed, I could go to my father.�
Craven County sheriff�s investigators say Britts Foye died after he was stabbed by his brother, Delgen Foye, with a butcher knife during a fight in their mother�s bedroom. Cora Foye, who apparently tried to break up the fight, suffered a cut wrist in the incident.
Pompy remembered that she had been in touch with him several times on the day before his death � �the incident,� as she refers to it � via phone calls and texts.
She does not know what set off the fatal fight between her father and her uncle at 2 a.m. that Friday. While she acknowledged the brothers could be argumentative, she insists they got along.
�They don�t fight,� she said, �They just fuss. Ten minutes later, it�s brotherly love.�
She said that acquaintances in James City told her that her uncle had been high the night of June 13, but she doesn�t believe that by itself would have triggered the altercation.
�Earlier in the day, they were fine,� she said.
Both Delgen and Britts had been brushes with the law in the past, but Delgen�s problems had been more frequent and violent. His rap sheet includes a number of assaults, resisting a public officer, at least one assault with a deadly weapon count and a charge of �going armed to terror of people.�
�We�ve been out there a hundred times,� Craven County Sheriff�s Department�s Captain Joe Heckman told the newspaper shortly after the arrest.
Delgen Foye is currently in the Craven County jail awaiting trial on the murder of his brother and an assault charge on his mother. He has insisted to family and the media that it was a case of self defense, but Pompy doesn�t buy it.
�My father is not the type,� she said. �He will not fight my Uncle Delgen. He would not hit him back.�
After the fight, Pompy said, her uncle left the house, then came back to change clothes, then left again to a neighbor�s where he was later arrested.
As to her father and grandmother, they were transported to CarolinaEast Medical Center. Police did not know to contact her or her mother, Sarah Pompy, because hospital records listed Britts as the emergency contact for his mother and Cora, his mother, as the emergency contact for himself.
A friend in James City called Pompy�s mother, Sarah Pompy, at about 4:15 a.m. that Friday and told her that Britts and Cora had been taken to the hospital and that someone needed to go pick Cora up. With no further information, Sarah Pompy assumed that Britts had driven his mother there for some reason. She knocked on her daughter�s door about 6 a.m., telling her she needed to go get her grandmother.
It was at CarolinaEast that the younger Pompy learned of the attack. At first, she said, �They wouldn�t give me no information,� but after a time, three nurses spoke to her in a private room, telling her that her father had been airlifted to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville.
�He had several stab wounds,� she said she was told. �He had lost a lot of blood. They gave him eight pints in New Bern. I couldn�t believe it. I broke down, crying.�
As she returned home with her grandmother Cora, Pompy was followed by two of Britts� friends, who then traveled with her to Greenville.
�When I went in the room,� she remembered, �he was still losing blood. They were doing tests on him.�
She remembered spying a bandage on his bicep that was so bloody she couldn�t really tell it was a bandage. Pompy spoke with him, but he wasn�t conscious.
�He wasn�t talking back to me,� she said. �(Still) I felt in my heart he heard me.�
After half an hour, Pompy was told he had to be taken into emergency surgery to try to stop the bleeding in his arm.
After waiting a while, she returned home to get her 4-year-old, returning to New Bern about 3:30 in the afternoon. An hour later, she got a call.
�They told me I had to come back, right away,� Pompy said. While the bleeding had been stopped, she was told, her father�s body had started shutting down.
She was en route to the hospital when she got another call. �They told me to pull over to the side. I knew right then it was bad news. They told me that they were sorry, that he had just passed. He died at 5:54 that afternoon.�
She hurried to the hospital and, she said, �I sat in the room with him a good two hours.�
Pompy says that some family members have visited Delgen Foye at the jail, but she has not.
�At one point, it did cross my mind to go see him, get his perspective, see how he reacted to me,� she said, but then decided against it. �My heart with him is not on a good level.�
Delgen Foye, she said, has not encouraged her good will.
�He called my aunt in California to relay a message to me that my daddy deserved what he got,� she said.
Pompy also showed the Sun Journal a letter he�d written to a relative. It states: �I know this is crazy but he killed his self and I got to suffer for this.�
�What I want to say to him,� Pompy said, �might make him do something to himself. I already lost a father. I don�t want to lose an uncle. I only got two left.�
She said that daughter, Janea, was broken up about her grandfather�s death. �She was with him every weekend. He loved her and she loved him.�
Pompy found herself in the position of handling all the details after her father�s death.
�I just turned 20 in April,� she said. �I didn�t know what to do. I was lost.�
While she has received some emotional support from the family, she said no one has come forward to help with the financial end of things other than �a select few � three or four.� Among them, an aunt is letting her use her New Bern home while Cora Foye is with her.
Pompy works nights at a low-paying job and said it is difficult making ends meet, especially with her grandmother�s care being added to that of her preschool daughter.
�We�re in a hard spot,� she said.
Her biggest problem now? �Having to pay for the funeral, to get his ashes. That�s going to be the hardest part,� she said.
While a friend of Britts Foye�s gave money toward expenses, she still owes a balance of $2,800, and the funeral home won�t release the ashes until the bill is paid, she said.
Once Pompy is able to get her father�s remains, she plans to keep the ashes with her.
�I could feel, with the ashes, that I could still have him there with me,� she explained. �When any important time comes around � his birthday, Christmas, I want to feel like he�s still there.�

When I was at school, a long long time ago, an all boys' school, we had a lot of fun in English by nudging each other and giggling behind our books whenever a word or phrase appeared that suggested anything sexual at all.
Things like 'He tossed and turned all night' and 'the soldiers were shooting all over the place' caused a lot of hilarity. When I was fourteen we had a brilliant English teacher, Mr Pearson, who introduced us to the idea that Shakespeare was decidedly smutty: within his language was a wealth of double entendres. Something that has always stayed with me is one of Hamlet's observations on life: 'There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will.' Mr Pearson joined in our nudge-nudge game by suggesting that he was referring to circumcision.
This piece on "What Shakespeare really met" carries on that tradition with some super-smutty Shakespeare translations including masturbation, lap dancers and sister-loving!

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A 14-1 first-half run sparked by Lashay Davis allowed Tennessee Tech to capture control of the game and the Golden Eagles maintained ownership to the final buzzer for a convincing 79-52 Ohio Valley Conference victory Saturday night over Jacksonville State in Eblen Center.
The Golden Eagles (14-10/8-3 OVC) climbed to within one-half game of first-place Belmont in the OVC East Division. Tech is tied with Eastern Kentucky for second in the division with the third-best record in the league.
Up by two points with 8:13 remaining after the Gamecocks
(0-24/0-12 OVC) had rallied to within 13-11, the Golden Eagles used
four consecutive 3-pointers by Davis to move on top, 27-12, less
than four minutes later.
Tech was able to build its first-half margin to 21 points by halftime and never looked over its shoulder.
Davis led Tech with a career-high 19 points, draining 5-for-7 from beyond and going 7-for-10 for the game. She also topped Tech with four steals.
Diamond Henderson scored in double digits for the seventh consecutive contest, also netting 19 in the game along with a team-high five assists and adding three steals. T'Keyah Williams added 14 points, hitting 4-for-4 from the field and all six free throws on a perfect night of shooting.
Miranda Cantrell was the top scorer for JSU with 13 points, while Danielle Vaughn had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Candace Morton also hit double figures with 11 points.
Jala Harris hit a 3-pointer to get the scoring started and Kellie Cook made back-to-back 3-pointers and Tech was off to a sudden 9-0 lead. But Jacksonville State battled back with a pair of jumpers and layups from Danielle Vaughn and Candace Morton to trim the deficit. A free throw by Sydney Brown pulled the Gamecock women as close as they would get, 13-11, before Davis' barrage of long bombs blew the game open.
Tech hit 42. 4 percent for the game (25-for-59), including
11-for-21 from long distance. Tech was 18-for-27 from the free
throw line for 66.7 percent.
JSU shot 42.9 percent (18-for-42) from the field but managed just 1-for-9 from long ragne. The Gamecocks hits 62.5 percent (15-for-24) at the charity line. JSU also owned a 36-31 edge in rebounds, but had 33 turnovers in the contest.
The Gamecocks outscored Tech in the paint, 35-14, but Tech owned a 36-11 edge in scoring points off turnovers. And, the Tech bench outscored the Gamecock bench, 44-11.
The Golden Eagles remained in the chase for the top seat in the OVC's East Division, improving to 14-11 overall and 8-3 within conference boundaries.

A holiday on the Costa Brava will have you feeling like you stepped into a postcard, given the natural beauties here completed by the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees Mountains. Beaches and coves create ideal conditions for scuba diving for a chance, on the world renowned Medes Islands. The Nature Reserve Cap de Creus is also worth a visit, so is the Nature Reserve Aiguamolls de l'Empordà. Also on the Costa Brava you will find history in its most amazing appearance in places such as the archaeological site of Empúries. The Jewish Quarter of Gerona is also famous, so is the Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. For art lovers, the works of the famous artist Dali will be a true delight. The Costa Brava of Spain hosts great music festivals as well, such as the ones at Torroella de Montgrí and Peralada. Do not miss out on specific dishes here such as the Escudella I Carn D'olla, vegetable broth with pork, veal and chicken or the local sausage and tortilla. Whether it is lying on the beach and relaxing you are after, bathing in the Mediterranean or hiking the Pyrenees, experiencing the Spanish culture and history, there is one place where you can actually truly have it all in many facets: the Costa Brava of Spain.

The father of the man publicly named as the one behind a hoax involving Notre Dame star linebacker Manti Te'o became emotional Sunday as he thanked his Antelope Valley congregation for their support.
The group of about 90 people clapped and cheered when Pastor Titus Tuiasosopo was introduced during Oasis Christian Church's Sunday service — the first since news of the scandal broke.
"I want to thank you for your prayers, church family," Tuiasosopo said at the end of the two-hour service, his voice breaking. "I love you. Thank you for being here."
Earlier in the service, held at Lancaster United Methodist Church, Tuiasosopo acknowledged the half a dozen reporters who were in attendance, but declined to discuss details of the incident afterward.
"My statement is: God is still on his throne," he said before a guest pastor delivered the sermon.
Reporters have swarmed both the church and Tuiasosopo's Palmdale home after his son, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, was named as a perpetrator of the Te'o hoax, revealed last week in a Deadspin.com report.
According to the report, Tuiasosopo allegedly was involved in creating a Twitter account for a "Lennay Kekua" and connecting her with Te'o. The Heisman Trophy-runner up spoke to the media repeatedly about his girlfriend and her supposed battle with cancer.
After more than a year of corresponding on social media and by telephone with Kekua, Te'o said he was told in September the woman had died of leukemia. Three months later, the player got a call from a phone number he recognized as Kekua's with the voice on the other end telling him Kekua wasn't dead.
On Dec. 26, Te'o told Notre Dame officials he had learned his girlfriend did not exist, the university said.
In an interview with ESPN, Te'o denied a role in the ruse. "I wasn't faking it," he said. "I wasn't part of this."
Te'o also identified Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a former high school football and volleyball star, as the person behind the bizarre hoax.
Te'o told ESPN he met Tuiasosopo for the first time on Nov. 24, after Notre Dame beat USC at the Coliseum.
"I hope he learns," Te'o told ESPN. "I hope he understands what he's done. I don't wish an ill thing to somebody. I just hope he learns. I think embarrassment is big enough."
Titus Tuiasosopo's brother, former pro football player Peter "Navy" Tuiasosopo, said his family had obtained legal counsel and were organizing some sort of formal interview regarding the allegations.
"The family is strong," Tuiasosopo told reporters in the church parking lot after Sunday's service. "The family will stay together."
Tuiasosopo said his family continues to support his nephew.
"I don't know how he feels," he said in response to a question about Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. "He doesn't feel his best."
