NEW YORK -- McDonald's will start selling bags of ground coffee at its restaurants in Canada next month, a move that could spread to other regions around the world if successful.
The world's biggest hamburger chain says the ground coffee will be available in the majority of its 1,400 stores by Nov. 8. The packages will weigh about 340 grams (about 12 ounces) and cost about 7 Canadian dollars ($7.04).
A representative at the company's headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., was not immediately available to say whether there were any plans to sell ground coffee in the U.S. But the company filed a trademark for "McCafe" ground and whole bean coffee here last month.
John Betts, president of McDonald's Canada, also noted in an interview that McDonald's has a history of taking hit products from specific regions and expanding them globally. The company's McCafe specialty coffees were first offered in Australia in 1993, then worked their way through Europe before landing in the United States in 2009.
For now, Betts said the ground coffee will only be sold in McDonald's restaurants in Canada. But he didn't rule out selling whole beans or expanding into supermarkets down the road.
"As we evolve and as our customers ask us for more options, who knows? If we continue to grow the category, anything's possible," he said.
The move into bagged coffee is new ground for McDonald's Corp. at a time when the fast food chain's growth around the world has slowed. Last week, the company said its net income slipped amid the volatile global economy and tougher competition.
Betts said that the strength of McDonald's coffee plays a critical role in fueling the chain's breakfast business.
"If you want to be a credible player in the restaurant industry, you have to have a great cup of coffee," Betts said.
Beverages have become a key growth area for fast-food companies in recent years, with Burger King adding coffee frappes to its menu earlier this year and Wendy's testing specialty coffee in select markets. And as competitors have edged in on its space, Starbucks Corp. is branching out into areas such as premium juices and the single-serve coffee market.
Starbucks operates about 1,100 locations in Canada, while Tim Hortons has more than 3,300. McDonald's introduced McCafe drinks in the country just last year. Betts says McDonald's was "not doing a good job" with coffee in the country, but has started to build a reputation through coffee give-away promotions that familiarized customers with the brand.
Starting next month, McDonald's customers in Canada who walk up to the counter will see a dark brown bag of premium roast coffee at the counter, with "McCafe" written in white lettering. The bags will be displayed by the register, with an employee fetching a bag from behind the counter for customers who order them.
McDonald's has about 33,000 locations around the world.
Shares rose 5 cents to close at $87.33.

Builder Style Manager: Scope and Limitations
While Style Manager aims to provide basic styling changes to your Builder theme, the presence of Style Manager does not mean that one can escape writing custom CSS code. Style Manager can be used to set styles for some elements, but it is not an extensive tool that covers each and every element on a webpage.
Style Manager & Custom CSS
In some cases, even when an option to style a particular element seems to be present in Style Manager, it might not actually work because the child theme's style.css overrides it. Some child themes have specific styling for some of the options provided by Style Manager, so your styles will be overridden.
To combat this, the CSS Preview code generated by Style Manager can be copied and added to the end of your child theme's style.css.
Builder CSS Resources
Ultimately, a knowledge of CSS will help you fully style all elements of your Builder site. Here are a few helpful links and resources:
- CSS Introduction
- Builder CSS Tutorial Videos
- Viewing Page Source
- Builder CSS: Basic Structure
- Classes & IDs: Overview
- Theme CSS Outline
- How to use Firebug to style various elements
Style Manager Global Styles
It is not possible to apply one set of styles to a specific module or individual widgets of a module that are different from other modules of the same type.
For example, you will not be able to apply a blue background to just one widget bar module while the rest of them have been set to a red background via Style Manager.
For such changes, style.css has to be edited manually. Visit the Builder CSS Section for more information.

The "color" is open to the designers creativity -- but please no neon or extreme bright colors.
The "auction service" needs to be expressed in the logo; here again use your talents and tools that would best capture this image.
The "unique caveman image" is very important since this is the branding symbol to our services. I have come across a simplistic logo I found to be nice, but it does not have to be like this.

On the eve of Oscar voting, we asked three academy members to let us peek at their ballots and tell us, anonymously, who they're voting for and why. Here's what they had to say:
PRODUCERS BRANCH: This 40ish Oscar nominee raved about the depth of choices on this year's ballot and voted accordingly. Don't get him started on the snub of "Zero Dark Thirty" director Kathryn Bigelow, though.
Picture: "Zero Dark Thirty."
"To me, it's a clear choice. What I really like about it, beyond its superb craft and storytelling, is that it's a conversation starter. It's forcing us to confront the moral trade-offs we made in killing [Osama] bin Laden. That's great art."
Director: Steven Spielberg, "Lincoln"
"That's the hardest category for me because I can't vote for Kathryn Bigelow. I thought 'Lincoln' was a good film and Spielberg showed admirable restraint in his direction."
Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, "Lincoln"
"He just kept it so real. I felt like I was watching Abraham Lincoln, the way he buried himself in the role."
Actress: Jennifer Lawrence, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"She was sensational, both guarded and emotionally open at the same time. It's a really complex performance, but then everybody in that movie is really great."
Supporting actor: Robert De Niro, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"We haven't seen him be that good in some time, so it's a nice reminder of just what a fine actor he is. It's a different type of performance for him, with a little bit of everything in there. The range he shows is incredible."
Supporting actress: Anne Hathaway, "Les Misérables"
"She may have less screen time than the other nominees, but what she does in that song ... wow. It breaks your heart."
Original screenplay: Mark Boal, "Zero Dark Thirty"
"I loved the procedural nature of it and how the tension just builds and builds. The detail he works in there is incredible."
Adapted screenplay: Tony Kushner, "Lincoln"
"The way he was able to weave the various threads of history through the story was beautiful. I loved the subtle undertones of the piece too, the way it's clearly relevant to our times today."
OSCARS 2013: Defining scenes | Oscar Watch | Play-at-Home Ballot | Snubs & surprises | Reactions | Trivia | Timeline
ACTORS BRANCH: This veteran in her 50s clearly belongs to the group that helped make "Silver Linings Playbook" become the first film since "Reds" to win nominations in all four acting categories.
Picture: "Silver Linings Playbook"
"It's so character-driven and emotional. I'm tired of these cartoon movies. This reminded me of those Preston Sturges films with the old-fashioned love story and the crazy, dysfunctional family."
Director: David O. Russell, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"He knows how to tell complex stories with complicated characters and still have a lot of emotion. This movie is not glib. I like that."
Actor: Bradley Cooper, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"From a pure performance standpoint, it's Denzel Washington for 'Flight.' But I also like to vote for actors who stretched the most, who made the biggest transition. We know Daniel Day-Lewis is a genius. But now we know Bradley Cooper can be amazing too."
Actress: Jennifer Lawrence, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"The physicality of that performance with the emotion is beyond extraordinary. And there's an inherent humor that we've never seen before. That scene in the diner, the explosion of anger and hurt, was amazing."
Supporting actor: Robert De Niro, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"Remember when he breaks down with his son? I wept like a baby!"
Supporting actress: Jacki Weaver, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"It's an underappreciated performance because it isn't flashy. But everything she does is believable, particularly the way she is with De Niro. You really buy them as a couple."
Original screenplay: Quentin Tarantino, "Django Unchained"
"I love those exploitation movies, so I went in primed to enjoy it and I just went with it from the moment the lights went down."
Adapted screenplay: David O. Russell, "Silver Linings Playbook"
"Comedies with this kind of dimension are very tough to pull off."
OSCARS 2013: Defining scenes | Oscar Watch | Play-at-Home Ballot | Snubs & surprises | Reactions | Trivia | Timeline
DIRECTORS BRANCH: This 50ish Oscar nominee revealed an eclectic Oscar ballot, expressing his wish to "reward the wealth of great work" done in 2012.
Picture: "Argo"
"Ben Affleck just keeps getting better as a director. 'Argo' is smart, and it has a lot of heart too. That movie does so many different things and does them all so well. I've seen it three times, and it really holds up."
Director: Benh Zeitlin, "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
"As much as I like the other Ben's [Affleck] work, there's a magical element to 'Beasts' that just floored me in the originality of its vision. I can't wait to see his next movie."
Actor: Joaquin Phoenix, "The Master"
"There's a lot of great choices here, but I'm going with Joaquin. The physicality of his performance alone is remarkable. It's an inspired take on a coming-home story from this particular era, this particular war. He made me laugh and choked me up, sometimes in the same scene."
Actress: Jessica Chastain, "Zero Dark Thirty"
"It's really almost from another planet, her work here. She's in a part that typically would be played by a man, and she brings all that steely, shutdown resolve to it and still shows the exhaustion and doubts and frustration lying beneath the surface. That last moment on the plane just kills me."
Supporting actor: Philip Seymour Hoffman, "The Master"
"Honestly, I don't know when I haven't voted for him. He's always so good, and here he's charismatic and blustery and a little deranged and ... what was that line ... a 'hopelessly inquisitive man.' Yeah ... he just embodied that, didn't he?"
Supporting actress: Anne Hathaway, "Les Misérables"
"That song. What else can you say, right? She careens through longing and anger and despair, and you believe every moment and every emotion."
Original screenplay: Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola, "Moonrise Kingdom"
"I always like Wes' movies, but this was something special. It has adventure and love and humor and all the beautiful detail you always find in his movies."
Adapted screenplay: Chris Terrio, "Argo"
"It's a wonderfully layered piece of work, combining the history and incorporating those fun Hollywood elements without feeling forced."

Sirhan claimed he killed Kennedy because he was angry over Kennedy's support for Israel.
hoi.polloi wrote:Here are the people who were around RFK to help stop Sirhan Sirhan:
An actor, Rosey Grier
Another actor, George Plimpton (also a 'journalist')
A third actor, Rafer Lewis Johnson
A fiction writer friend of RFK, "Pete Hamill" married to "Fukiko Aioki" - both of them alleged to be 9/11 witnesses!!!
Yup. It stinks. It stinks high.
A friend of Robert F. Kennedy, Hamill helped persuade the senator to run for the United States presidency, then worked for the campaign and covered it as a journalist. He was one of four men who disarmed Sirhan Sirhan of his gun in the aftermath of the Robert F. Kennedy assassination.
Over the course of nearly forty years Hamill worked at the Post, the New York Daily News, the Village Voice, and New York Newsday. He served briefly as editor of the Post, and later as editor-in-chief-of the Daily News. He has written about wars in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Lebanon and Northern Ireland, and reported on America's urban riots of the 1960s.
His first novel, a thriller called A Killing for Christ, about a plot to assassinate the Pope on Easter Sunday in Rome, was published in 1968.
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninsca ... lls_ey.php
"It was as if all of us there went simultaneously insane: a cook was screaming, "Kill him, kill him now, kill him, kill him!" I tried to get past Grier, Johnson, Plimpton and Barry to get at the gunman. The Jack Ruby in me was rising up, white, bright, with a high-singing sound in the ears, and I wanted to damage that insane little bastard they were holding. I wanted to break his face, to rip away flesh, to hear bone break as I pumped punches into that pimpled skin. Budd Schulberg was next to me; I suppose he was trying to do the same. Just one punch. Just one for Dallas. Just one for Medgar Evers, just one for Martin Luther King. Just one punch. Just one. One."
"America the Beautiful: with crumby little mini-John Waynes carrying guns to the woods like surrogate penises. Yes: the kid I saw shoot Kennedy was from Jordan, was diseased with some fierce hatred for Jews. Sam Yorty, who hated Kennedy, now calls Kennedy a great American and blames the Communists. Hey Sam: you killed him too. The gun that kid carried was American. The city where he shot down a good man was run by Sam Yorty. How about keeping your fat pigstink mouth shut."
Re: Robert Kennedy thread
Hi Simon,
I have read many pages of your site and appreciate it. I don't care to register at this time and subject myself to the scrutiny - I truly am a Luddite when it comes to computers.
However, I did want to comment on the first picture in the post - it looks as though there is no hand supporting Kennedy's head. Just a suit coat, hanging in the air. Is this for real, and if so, how is it that no one in the 50 years since has noticed it?
Thanks for your work. All the best to you,

How to Use The Images Drawing 1
Drawing 1
In 1956 the building that had housed Monarch Tailors when this photo was taken was destroyed by the Illinois Institute of Technology to make way for Crown Hall, a well-known building designed by a famous modern architect.
1) Does this advertisement relate to the "engine of progress" theme of Drawing 1? If so, how?
2) What additional information can be gained by reading the text that accompanies the photo in this advertisement? Do you think this would have been an effective ad at the time? Why or why not?
3) Note the announcement at the bottom indicating that Monarch Tailors would soon move from State Street to Forty-seventh Street. What are some possible reasons for the move?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of this photo, but be aware that the entire file will take about 90 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

We shared some leaked screen shots of the new Nokia photography app, Pro Camera, earlier and it looked rather impressive when demoed at the Zoom Re-Invented event.
The camera app for the Lumia 1020 will give photographers more control over the 41MP than any other stock camera app. Features will be similar to what we see in third party apps such as ProShot or Camera360 but tuned specifically for the 41mp camera of the Lumia 1020.
You can set everything to automatic or take control of settings such as ISO, Exposure Compensation, White Balance, Shutter Speed, and even manually focus the camera. Each setting is controlled by a series of easy-access, on-screen dials making it really convenient to adjust your camera's settings.
One really cool feature coming to Pro Camera is the ability to preview how the setting changes will effect your photo. The live view will adjust accordingly as you fine tune your camera settings. It's a feature many stand alone digital cameras have and will go a long way in helping everyone take better pictures.
The zoom feature also takes an interesting twist with Pro Camera in that you can take a photo, zoom in or out while maintaining a high resolution, save, then reframe/crop the original image again.
From the demos and videos we've seen of Pro Camera in action it looks to compliment the Lumia 1020's camera extremely well. We can't wait to get our hands on it. How about you?

U.S. WNT and Japan Draw 1-1 at 2014 Algarve Cup Opener
- Sydney Leroux's 27th International Goal Comes Off Block of Japan Goalkeeper Clearance
- USA Out-Shoots Japan 20-8, Japan Captain Aya Miyama Equalizes with Late Free Kick
- WNT Will Face Sweden on March 7 in Albufeira, Portugal, in Second Group B Match
PARCHAL, Portugal (March 5, 2014) – The U.S. Women's National Team certainly did enough to win, but had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Japan in the first Group B match for both teams at the 2014 Algarve Cup.
Up next for the USA will be Sweden on March 7 in Albufeira, Portugal (8:30 a.m. ET), in a match that will have major implications for the USA's Algarve Cup championship game aspirations. The team must win the group to advance to the final. Fans can follow USA-Sweden on Twitter @ussoccer_wnt and watch highlights on ussoccer.com.
Despite creating the vast majority of dangerous scoring chances, the USA's lone goal was a bit quirky, coming in the 59th minute when forward Sydney Leroux slid to block a clearance from Japan goalkeeper Erina Yamane, and the ball bounced back into the open net.
Just moments after Leroux had sprinted down the right wing and passed back to Christen Press, whose shot was saved by Yamane, the Japan goalkeeper received a pass back from her centerback and was just a bit too casual for the speedy Leroux, who sprinted hard at the 21-year-old 'keeper from her left side and managed to ricochet the attempted clearance into the net from 12 yards out.
While the goal was unusual, the USA certainly deserved it and perhaps a few more. In fact, the U.S. put the ball into the Japan net just 72 seconds into the match, when Leroux's shot hit a defender and bounced to Carli Lloyd, who finished her volley well from an offside position. Lloyd led a U.S. midfield that won numerous balls in dangerous spots, allowing the American counter-attack to flourish while putting Japan's back line on their heels for most of the game.
Leroux had a chance off a right-side cross from Ali Krieger in the 12th minute that was going to stick into the upper right corner, but the 6-foot-1 Yamane palmed the shot up into the air, and it was headed off the line by a Japan defender.
In the 22nd minute, Heather O'Reilly darted past a defender into the right side of the penalty box and dribbled almost all the way to the near post, but her cross into a crowded goal mouth was cleared.
Leroux had a multitude of chances in both halves. In the 29th minute, she out-muscled a defender into the right side of the penalty area, but stuck her shot into the side-netting outside the right post. The USA counter-attacked with tremendous speed, creating numerous dangerous situations down the wings and in the 32nd minute, O'Reilly got free down the left, but her cross on the ground just eluded Leroux who was sliding through the goal box.
The Americans were going against the wind in the first half and as soon as they switched sides, the attacked picked up more steam. The USA fired 16 shots after the break to Japan's three, and just four minutes into the second half, O'Reilly put Press behind the defense with a through ball. Her shot brought a nice save from Yamane, who knocked it away for a corner kick, and Leroux headed the ensuing service on goal, but it was cleared off the line by a defender.
Press played well, holding the ball in the attacking third, but also while running at the Japan back line, and in the 68th minute, she streaked down the left after a long throw-in and played a pass on the ground the O'Reilly at the near post, but under pressure, she pushed it just wide left.
In the 73rd minute Leroux smacked a shot from distance off the outside of the left post and then she had a great chance to win it in the 89 th, bulling her way past a defender into the right side of the penalty area, but cut her shot just past the far post from 15 yards out.
Japan was content to sit back for most of the match, but made a push with about 15 minutes left and got a questionable call in the 83rd minute when Becky Sauerbrunn was called for a hand ball while blocking a service that appeared to hit her chest.
Japan's captain Aya Miyama took the freekick from about 35 yards out, hitting a wicked knuckler that diving U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo could only parry into the upper right corner to tie the score at 1-1.
Japan also had a chance to win it late. In the 87th minute, Rumi Utsugi sent her volley wide left from close range as U.S. defenders converged.
Additional Notes:
- The USA extended its current overall unbeaten streak to 43 games (36-0-7) dating back to March of 2012 when it lost to Japan during group play at the Algarve Cup.
- The USA moved to 3-0-1 on the year with its first draw of 2014.
- The U.S. WNT improved to 24-1-5 all-time against Japan.
- The USA is now 16-0-4 under head coach Tom Sermanni.
- Sermanni made just two substitutions in the match, sending on Tobin Heath for Heather O'Reilly and Kristie Mewis for Morgan Brian, both in the 73 rd minute.
- It was the first appearance in a U.S. uniform for Heath, who struggled to overcome an ankle injury, since June 15, 2013, when she played 90 minutes against Korea Republic.
- O'Reilly earned her 197th cap and is now just three games away from becoming the ninth WNT player to reach the 200-game mark.
- With U.S. captain Christie Rampone and co-captain Abby Wambach not seeing action, Becky Sauerbrunn captained the U.S. team, as she did in the opening game of the Algarve Cup last year.
- Twenty-one-year-old Morgan Brian made just her third start and earned her sixth cap.
- The most recent U.S. tie in the Algarve Cup came in last year's tournament, a 1-1 draw with Sweden in the final group game, a result that sent the USA to the championship game.

PLYMOUTH, NH - Junior Amanda Kania (Manchester, NH) and senior Laura Kent (Bellingham, Ma) combined for 27 points and 18 rebounds Saturday afternoon as Plymouth State University topped the University of Massachusetts Boston, 51-36, in Little East Conference women's basketball action at Foley Gymnasium.
Kania scored a game-high 15 points and Kent added her sixth double-double of the season with 12 points and 12 boards to help the Panthers stop a three-game losing skid. PSU (15-8 overall, 5-7 in the LEC) remains in sixth place, a game ahead of UMass Dartmouth for the final LEC playoff berth, while the Beacons fall to 4-19 overall and 0-12 in conference play.
Both teams struggled in the shooting department, finishing with identical 25.9 shooting percentages and each team collecting 47 rebounds. PSU was 5-of-18 from three-point range while UMass Boston made just 4-of-28 from beyond the arc.
Senior Caroline Ashe (West Roxbury, MA) led the Beacons with 11 points, while sophomore Molly Rattigan (Dorchester, MA) grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.
Plymouth State never trailed in the "Senior Day" contest, but had trouble shaking the upset-minded Beacons. The Panthers pulled out to a 10-point margin twice in the first half (14-4 and 16-6), but UMass Boston hung around and battled back to within four points at the half, 19-15.
PSU maintained the lead in the second half, but the Beacons stayed within striking distance. The Panther lead ballooned to eight points (27-19) only to see UMass Boston get back to within four (28-24) with 15 minutes to play. The Beacons were within five points (34-29) with eight minutes to go, but a 7-2 Panther spurt got the margin back to 10 points with four minutes to go and PSU held on the rest of the way.
Both teams wrap up the regular season next week with a pair of LEC games. PSU travels to Keene State on Tuesday (5:30 p.m.) and Rhode Island College on Saturday (1:00 p.m.) while UMass Boston hosts University of Southern Maine on Tuesday (5:30 p.m.) at the Clark Athletic Center before traveling to Danbury, CT to face Western Connecticut State University next Saturday (1:00 p.m.)

Jury's still out on changes to fair trade standards
Until recently, for coffee to be certified fair trade, it had to be produced by a democratically run co-ooperative.
But Fair Trade USA is opening the fair trade market to other types of producers, including the big coffee plantations, in a bid to double U.S. sales for fair trade producers by 2015.
This initiative, which is called Fair Trade for All, has been met with mixed reactions by other fair trade groups around the world.
The lack of consensus on criteria for fair trade products is also reflected by the new Small Producers label from the CLAC (Coordinadora Latinoamericana y del Caribe de Pequenos Productores de Comercio Justo), which is meant to better protect the interests of small producers.

The demise of the GOP surrogate
Terry McAuliffe has had Hillary and Bill Clinton hit the trail for him, and President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are on their way.
Ken Cuccinelli will have Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal and Ron Paul stump for him the final week — all respected figures within segments of the GOP, but none in that league of high-wattage closers who guarantee huge crowds and generate massive free media coverage.

The striking contrast in surrogates in the home stretch of the Virginia governor's race is another reminder of the GOP's larger leadership vacuum and the civil war for the soul of a party still reeling from last year's thrashing. Simply put, the party lacks a single unifying figure who appeals to every wing of the party, let alone matches the star power of the Clinton-Obama tandem.
Even former President George W. Bush, were he willing to re-engage in politics, is seen as a squish by much of the conservative base.

The dynamic also speaks to Cuccinelli's own brand of unapologetic conservatism, which has alienated many moderates and contributed to his stubborn deficit in the polls. The state attorney general has devoted the final weeks of the race to mobilizing true believers in what's expected to be a low-turnout election on Tuesday.
"One thing I know Virginians don't want, don't need and sure as heck can't afford, and that's two Democrat parties," Cuccinelli said at a party meeting last December in the wake of 2012 losses. "Virginia once again has an opportunity … to show the country that conservatism isn't dead."
Besides having been massively outspent by McAuliffe and hurt by the federal government shutdown, Cuccinelli faces yet another challenge in the final days of the race — the dearth of super-star surrogates. The latest Washington Post poll showed him down 12 percentage points, though Wednesday brought two outliers: Quinnipiac put McAuliffe up 4 percent and Roanoke College said he leads by 15 percent.
The outcome, even more than in a normal election, depends on which campaign turns out more of its parties' base voters. More than 70 percent of eligible voters showed up in 2008 to vote for president, but turnout dropped off to 40 percent in the 2009 governor's race.
Both sides believe that all the negative campaigning will keep many independents and otherwise low-propensity voters home. So they are leaning on surrogates to motivate partisans more than to persuade the undecided.

Bill Clinton campaigned Wednesday morning at a theater outside the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, one of three stops during his four-day tour aimed at galvanizing college students who showed up for Obama last year but are predisposed to stay in their dorm rooms. Other events focused on firing up union members or African-Americans, for instance.
Hillary Clinton, whose 2008 presidential campaign McAuliffe chaired, headlined an event aimed at women the weekend before last. Some 700 people packed into a theater to see the potential 2016 standard bearer.
Obama, meanwhile, will rally for McAuliffe at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington on Sunday. And Biden will lead another rally Monday morning in Annandale.

Blackhawks score three in third to sink Oilersby Brian Hedger
CHICAGO -- The Edmonton Oilers did everything they usually do against the Chicago Blackhawks, except win.
The Oilers again played well against Chicago, but the Blackhawks got late goals from Marcus Kruger and Duncan Keith and held on for a 5-4 victory Sunday night at United Center.
"It was a funny night," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "I thought we checked well in the first period. After that, they scored a goal and they can come [at you]. Their power play ignited their offense tonight, but still it was one of those games where we stuck with it, which was important. [We] found a way to win against a team that enjoys playing us and has some success against us, so we'll take the points."
Edmonton scored on both of its power plays, a day after Chicago killed off all six it faced on the road against the Dallas Stars. The effort came the same day the Blackhawks saw the New York Islanders slide past them as the NHL's worst penalty-killing team.
Being at or even near the bottom of the League on the penalty kill might sink some teams, but not the Blackhawks (12-2-4). They won for their third straight and swept their third of four back-to-back sets on the schedule.
Brandon Saad (one goal, one assist), Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell also scored for Chicago, which has recorded at least a point in a season-high seven straight games and scored at least five goals in six of its past nine contests.
"The first couple weeks, or month, we were winning 3-2 or 2-1, and now it's kind of like the opposite," said Bickell, whose goal early in the third gave the Blackhawks a 3-2 lead. "It's nice to get the offense, but I know it's not always going to be like that. We need to play defense first and keep the puck out of our net, and I think the offense will come."
Corey Crawford is certainly helping defensively. He started both ends of a back-to-back for a second consecutive weekend and picked up a pair of wins to improve to 11-2-3 in 16 games.
After a 5-2 win Saturday night in Dallas, Crawford made 19 saves against the pesky Oilers (4-13-2), including a stop on a penalty shot by Sam Gagner in the second period. Crawford is now 3-for-3 against penalty shots this season and 8-for-8 in his career.
Gagner could've broken a 1-1 tie, but he made one too many dekes and lost the puck after Crawford's slide across the crease forced him to go wide.
"We always look at guys' penalty shots before the game on video," Crawford said. "It's good to keep in the back of your mind, but for the most part, it's read and react. I kind of felt that move was coming, so when he went to the backhand I was ready to push to the other side before he even got there."
The Oilers have been swept in all three of their back-to-back sets and dropped their third straight game. They won just once on a four-game road trip and now head home for five of their next six games.
"Right now, it's tough for me to stand here and say what we did wrong and what we did right," said Philip Larsen, who finished with three assists. "Bottom line is that we didn't get any points, and that's what matters right now. We have to bounce back somehow."
Devan Dubnyk took the loss for Edmonton. He also was starting for the second time in as many days in net.
The Oilers did not go quietly after falling behind 5-3 with 6:21 left in the third. Jordan Eberle's shorthanded goal with 1:28 remaining made it a one-goal game, but that's where the comeback bid ended.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov and David Perron also scored for the Oilers.
Seven of the game's eight goals were scored in the second and third periods after a first that was scarce on quality scoring chances.
The Blackhawks took a 1-0 lead on Saad's goal with 1:37 left in the first. After getting knocked off his feet near the right point in the Edmonton zone while keeping a play alive, Saad got up and cruised to the low slot, where he swatted the puck over Dubnyk's right pad off a deflected pass attempt by Brandon Pirri.
It didn't take the Oilers long to respond. Nugent-Hopkins tied it with his fifth goal 54 seconds into the second off a hard wrister from the left circle that beat Crawford high to the short side. Chicago bounced right back to swarm the Oilers' net but couldn't score off a couple good scoring chances for Patrick Kane and Shaw.
The Oilers used the resulting momentum to take a 2-1 lead on Yakupov's power-play goal at 8:55, four minutes after Gagner was denied on the penalty shot. It was Yakupov's second of the season and first since Oct. 27 against the Los Angeles Kings.
It was the first power-play goal against Chicago in five games, ending a string of nine straight successful kills that included a 6-for-6 performance Saturday.
The score stayed that way until Saad and Shaw combined to tie it 2-2 with 2:42 left in the second. Shaw snapped his fourth goal of the season past Dubnyk from the low slot off a cross-ice pass from Saad, which set the stage for the third.
The final period was more fitting of a game between these teams, with five combined goals. Bickell and Perron traded goals for a 3-3 score with 12:02 left before Kruger put Chicago up to stay with his second goal of the season. He scooped a pass from the boards by Ben Smith and tucked it between Dubnyk's right skate and the post.
Keith made it 5-3 almost five minutes later off a point blast. The veteran defenseman's first goal of the season ended up being the game-winner.
"Obviously, they're a younger team and they probably get excited [playing us]," Keith said of the Oilers. "It's a fun atmosphere to play in, and I know they've got some guys on their team that are friends with other guys on our team, so there's competitiveness there. We made it a little interesting there at the end, but we got the win."
Late in the third, Blackhawks defenseman Michal Rozsival was hit in the mouth by Perron's dump-in attempt as he sat on the bench. Quenneville expects him to be OK, but did say the blueliner was "getting some work done" after the game.

A collaboration between fashionable British accessories designer Ally Capellino and Carradice of Nelson, the Cavo Pannier is a smart, stylish shoulder-bag-cum-pannier designed specifically for cyclists.
Made predominantly from shower-proof heavy duty oiled cotton fabric, as is the signature of many of Carradice's saddle bags, the Cavo also uses a coated canvas base and strong leather for the strapping. There's a rugged plastic zip fastening on both the main compartment and the front pocket, as well as the interior valuables pocket, and an optional webbing strap is supplied as is a waterproof rain cover.
At first glance the bag looks every inch the stylish shoulder bag, with a compact enough size and shape to easily manage. The only giveaway that it can be fastened to a bike rack as a pannier is a pair of stout but discreet leather straps with press studs and small hooks at the back that simply undo, slip round the rails of the rack and then do up again.
There's a robust leather carry handle at the top too, and a decent amount of reflective piping (but quite subtly done).
Surprisingly, this is a bag that will almost certainly appeal equally to both male and female users. Available in smart unisex black or tan, it's a bag that could happily do double duty as a Man Bag or lady's Sac-a-main.
The size is such that it'll take a small notebook or iPad comfortably, with room for a few bits and bobs as well. It's not designed to be the sort of pannier you pile all your worldly belongings into, it's designed to be a smart office or day to day bag that you can hang on your bike. It just oozes quality too.
It fits easily and securely to a rack, and the toughened coated base and rugged leather patch at the base of the rear mean it's not going to get beaten to death by bouncing off the rack struts occasionally. There's no securing mechanism for the bottom, but it doesn't swing much anyway, given its relatively compact dimensions.
You will want to use some sort of sleeve for extra protection for your computer.
The attachment straps for the rack aren't obtrusive at all when not in use. It's not light and it's certainly not cheap, but it is exceptionally well made and ought to last close to a lifetime.
I've stuck this one on my birthday/Christmas wish list already... possibly in both colours. I'll even turn a blind eye to the name.
Tough, smart, stylish and functional. A versatile bag that will last for years.

LONDON — The first study to link a childhood vaccine to autism was based on doctored information about the children involved, according to a new report on the widely discredited research.
The conclusions of the 1998 paper by Andrew Wakefield and colleagues were renounced by 10 of its 13 authors and later retracted by the medical journal Lancet, where it was published. Still, the suggestion the MMR shot was connected to autism spooked parents worldwide and immunization rates for measles, mumps and rubella have never fully recovered.
A new examination found, by comparing the reported diagnoses in the paper to hospital records, that Wakefield and colleagues altered facts about patients in their study.
The analysis, by British journalist Brian Deer, found that despite the claim in Wakefield's paper that the 12 children studied were normal until they had the MMR shot, five had previously documented developmental problems. Deer also found that all the cases were somehow misrepresented when he compared data from medical records and the children's parents.

Called 'an elaborate fraud'
Wakefield defended his research in a statement released after the report. "There was absolutely no fraud," Wakefield, who is attending an international conference of doctors and scientists in Jamaica, said in the statement. "In the absence of adequate data on vaccine safety they continue to go after the man...What government and pharma fear in the UK is the exposure...of the fact that the UK government indemnified the manufacturer...They don't understand why I won't just go away. There is just too much at stake."
Wakefield now lives in the U.S. where he enjoys a vocal following including celebrity supporters like Jenny McCarthy.
TODAYMoms: Do you believe there's a link between autism and vaccines?
Deer's article was paid for by the Sunday Times of London and Britain's Channel 4 television network. It was published online Thursday in the medical journal, BMJ.
In an accompanying editorial, BMJ editor Fiona Godlee and colleagues called Wakefield's study "an elaborate fraud." They said Wakefield's work in other journals should be examined to see if it should be retracted.
Last May, Wakefield was stripped of his right to practice medicine in Britain. Many other published studies have shown no connection between the MMR vaccination and autism.
But measles has surged since Wakefield's paper was published and there are sporadic outbreaks in Europe and the U.S. In 2008, measles was deemed endemic in England and Wales.

Just mere days before Game of Thrones takes over Comic-Con with a hotly anticipated Q&A panel that's being moderated by author George R. R. Martin, EW.com is reporting that the roles of Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre have been cast for the upcoming Season 2.
Brit actor Stephen Dillane, who played Merlin in Antoine Fuqua's King Arthur (starring Clive Owen) has been cast as Stannis Baratheon – younger brother to Robert, older brother to Renly. Stannis, believing that Robert has no natural born heirs, is ready to go to war to prove that he is the rightful successor to Robert's throne. Dillane must be who actor Clive Standon (Camelot) was talking about when Standon tweeted that two "Camelot" alums were joining Game of Thrones – only one of which was from the actual Starz Camelot series.
We'd also like to point out here that IGN's own Jim Vejvoda suggested Dillane for the role two weeks ago when we wrote up our Game of Thrones Season 2 Dream Casting piece. Unfortunately, we didn't listen to him and Dillane was left out.
Dutch actress Carice van Houten (Valkyrie, Black Book) has been cast as Melisandre. Lady Melisandre's powers of prophecy may be the key to Stannis' conquest, or the seed of his destruction.
EW.com reported later on in the day that Liam Cunningham, who played a father on trial on Starz' recently cancelled Camelot, has been cast as Ser Davos Seaworth, the lowborn "Onion Knight" - a promoted smuggler that Stannis depends on for honest council.
If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, learn more.

Rule 7.4. Communication Of Fields Of Practice And Specialization.
(a) A lawyer may communicate the fact that the lawyer does or does not practice in particular fields of law.
(b) A lawyer admitted to engage in patent practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office may use the designation "Patent Attorney" or a substantially similar designation.
(c) A lawyer engaged in admiralty practice may use the designation "Admiralty," "Proctor in Admiralty" or a substantially similar designation.
(d) A lawyer shall not state or imply that a lawyer is certified as a specialist in a particular field of law, unless:
(1) the lawyer has been certified as a specialist by an organization that has been approved by an appropriate state authority or that has been accredited by the American Bar Association; and
(2) the name of the certifying organization is clearly identified in the communication.
(e) [Transitional Provisions (December 31, 2002 - December 31, 2005)]
(1) A lawyer who is currently certified as a Board Recognized Specialist in Tax Law under the Arkansas Plan of Specialization may communicate such fact through December 31, 2005.
(2) The Arkansas Legal Specialization Transition Task Force shall discharge any administrative, supervisory, or other duties previously discharged by the Board of Legal Specialization or the Tax Speciality Committee that may arise during the transition period. No new specialists shall be recognized under the Arkansas Plan of Specialization.
[1] Paragraph (a) of this Rule permits a lawyer to indicate areas of practice in communications about the lawyer's services. If a lawyer practices only in certain fields, or will not accept matters except in a specified field or fields, the lawyer is permitted to so indicate. A lawyer is generally permitted to state that the lawyer is a "specialist," practices a "specialty," or "specializes in" particular fields, but such communications are subject to the "false and misleading" standard applied in Rule 7.1 to communications concerning a lawyer's services.
[2] Paragraph (b) recognizes the long-established policy of the Patent and Trademark Office for the designation of lawyers practicing before the Office. Paragraph (c) recognizes that designation of admiralty practice has a long historical tradition associated with maritime commerce and the federal courts.
[3] Paragraph (d) permits a lawyer to state that the lawyer is certified as a specialist in a field of law if such certification is granted by an organization approved by an appropriate state authority or accredited by the American Bar Association or another organization, such as a state bar association, that has been approved by the state authority to accredit organizations that certify lawyers as specialists. Certification signifies that an objective entity has recognized an advanced degree of knowledge and experience in the specialty area greater than is suggested by general licensure to practice law. Certifying organizations may be expected to apply standards of experience, knowledge and proficiency to insure that a lawyer's recognition as a specialist is meaningful and reliable. In order to insure that consumers can obtain access to useful information about an organization granting certification, the name of the certifying organization must be included in any communication regarding the certification.

About Us
Transition 101
Transition Towns
Knowledge Hub
Here in Los Angeles, we currently have between seven and twelve local Transition groups (depending upon at what stage of development you wish to begin counting them). And we're eager for more. The nature of our greater L.A. area is that eventually we will need to have in place a vast network of local groups, each neighborhood working on this process.
I'm frequently being asked for tips on how to get a new local group started. As I sat down this week to write it out yet again, it seemed like the kind of info that might be of interest to other groups (both Transition and not-yet-Transition groups). So, I decided to post it here. If you're contemplating beginning a Transition group in your local neighborhood ...
A Transition group works to grow local resilience -- our ability to flex and adapt in the face of great change. Three specific changes, actually: peak oil, climate change, and economic contraction. When taken separately, there are a lot of possible answers to these huge problems. But when we consider the trio of crises together, the number of viable solutions gets a whole lot narrower; there really are only a few general avenues which will work. Thus we try to measure everything do within the Transition movement against this sweeping trio.
Within that framework, we understand that we must take positive action. Preparation for peak oil, climate change and economic contraction means we have to change many things in our physical world. It's best to make these changes now, while we still have somewhat-cheap oil and some access to financial capital with which to do so. Thus in our L.A. groups you'll find people working together to build food gardens, install water harvesting equipment, support bicycle transportation master plans, set up time banks/bartering, and much more.
I like to use David Holmgren's Permaculture Flower diagram to describe the panorama over which we are taking action. Transition groups realize that in order to cope with the triple crisis, transformative change is necessary in every single realm of human endeavor.
The trio of crises affect our inner landscape as well. They affect our psychological and perhaps our spiritual outlook. Peak oil, climate change, and economic contraction call into question our definition of ourselves, the dreams we have been raised to expect, our place within our community, humanity's place within the circle of life. At some point, Transition groups address this inner Transition as well.
The Transition approach is by nature a grassroots, community-centric approach. Our "Cheerful Disclaimer" explains it quite nicely.
What we are convinced of is this:
If we wait for the governments, it'll be too little, too late
If we act as individuals, it'll be too little
But if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time.
In all the actions we take, we're trying to implement solutions on a community-wide basis. While some of our reskilling type events might appear to be focused on individual skills, or family-level lifestyle changes, they come from concern for the overall skill portfolio of the community, and the overall social dynamic of peer influence. And while there's currently a debate within the broader movement about the role political action might eventually play, for the most part Transition groups aren't very active in conventional politics. Instead, we focus on actively creating the necessary changes right within our immediate home communities.
In my opinion, one of the things that distinguishes a Transition initiative from "just another green group" is the Energy Descent Action Plan. All Transition initiatives either have one, or are creating one, or are getting ready to create one. Even groups in the early stages know they will eventually be creating one, thus it is part of their overall focus. From the earliest stages, Transition groups encourage their local communities to create visions of what a better life might be like in the future -- albeit a post-carbon, post-petroleum, economically different future. The process of creating a plan includes backcasting to figure out a timeline of action steps to get from here to there, collecting data and perhaps pre-petroleum stories about the area. Even as the plan is being created, the Transition group helps other organizations orient themselves toward helping to build that enticing future. The whole process can take many months, and many, many public events. But the plan is integral to the Transition approach, and it can become an incredible tool for the community at large. Read more
Within Transition circles, the person or small group of people who get a local group started are called the "initiators." I like to think of them like fire-starters, creating a little spark and gently blowing on the tinder until the flames of widespread action jump up.
As an initiator, you have to be prepared to hold the place for this group to happen. Holding a hope, a vision, a dream, that one day there will be a dynamic circle working on these things in your own local neighborhood. Holding a physical place, going there regularly and consistently, waiting for others to join you, and getting small-scale activities going for those people who are gradually coming on board.
Sometimes it takes quite a number of months until the action gets going. (for me it took a good year or more) I find that if you know from the outset it's going to take some time, then your expectations are in line with reality. You aren't as easily disappointed when in Month 2 you don't have a circle of 50 people already.
Most Transition groups get started by offering some simple events designed to get people thinking about these ideas. Many groups here in L.A. started with awareness-raising movie nights. These are really easy events to do, because the movie does a lot for you. Decide on a film. Personally, I prefer to use films which offer potential solutions, rather than all-gloom about the problems. Publicize your event (more at #5 below). We coach new initiators that the film is the excuse to gather people, but the real point of the event is on connecting the circle of people. Thus, when the lights go on, start a community discussion. Get your local people talking with each other about these paradigm-shaking ideas. How do you do this? All of the ideas in the green boxes in The Transition Handbook are great. In the early days of Transition Los Angeles, I used many of these exercises verbatim out of the book. (More ideas)
Our Transiton South Bay LA group didn't use movies as the gathering point, at least not right away. They started in a coffee shop. Their initiator publicized that she would be at a particular coffee shop at a specified date and time, and people could join in. Over a period of months, a group of like-minded people formed, and from there they branched out into occasional movies and other events.
What kinds of events should you start with? That depends on who you are as an individual. One of the basic concepts within the Transition approach is that people will offer to the community from what they are passionate about. If you're a gardener, start with gardening topics -- you might teach others how to grow food. If you're a bicyclist, start there. Offer a local bike ride, or a hands-on bike repair workshop. Allow your creativity to roam. We set up our first seed swap because I had never been to one and thought it would be fun. Last night someone proposed starting a neighborhood work group because she needed help personally. What would you like to see happen? That is the best place to begin.
In our first days in my local neighborhood, we designed events such that they would be successful if only 5 people showed up. We kept our expectations small and simple. We didn't invite in big-name speakers who would expect to present to a huge crowd (or expect a fee). That way we weren't disappointed if few participants showed up, and we were thrilled beyond words when many came.
Once you start, never break the chain. At each meeting, already have the next meeting's date and topic planned. Perhaps even have a printed flier to hand out. We learned this the hard way: One of our local groups had built up to nearly 50 followers, then broke the chain of meetings and took a full year or more to get the group energy rolling again. Never breaking the chain means that even as you're preparing for your current meeting, you've already planned the next one, and you're formulating ideas for the one that is two out. You always want to be able to announce "see you next time when we'll be talking about ... (and bring a friend!)"
In the Transition Handbook, Rob Hopkins refers to this as "harvesting" email addresses. At every event, have a simple sign-in sheet to collect names and email addresses of each attendee (perhaps phone and zip code, too, see below).
Keep track of them. Here in L.A. I encourage groups to use a free service such as GoogleGroups to accumulate these email addresses. Some of our L.A. groups run two GoogleGroups, a low-volume one to circulate meeting announcements only, and a higher-traffic one for discussion so that people can connect with each other online. (More about web presence)
As we expand into new parts of our vast city, we are discovering that email isn't necessarily the best way to connect. While there are pockets of people who are intimately internet-connected, there are other pockets where people hardly use a computer. Thus we are learning to adapt. Some of our local groups are considering reestablishing the old-fashioned phone tree.
Meanwhile, because we in L.A. are working within a vast urban area, we know that eventually there will be many local groups. I strongly encourage all of our local groups to collect zip code information at the same time as they collect contact info. That way, down the line, we can help people from outlying areas find each other as fellow locals come aboard the movement.
If you're going to get people involved, you have to let them know about it. You have to get the word out. Here in L.A. there are several ways that initiators have done this in the earliest stages of their local group.
I started in my own neighborhood by putting paper fliers at the public library. The fliers described the event on one side of the page, and on the back side explained the triple crises and gave our website. Our Northeast L.A. group grew out of a peak oil group which had an existing following of email contacts. Thus publicizing their earliest events was done internally to the old group.
Another L.A. area initiator began within a church, where she put the meeting information into the weekly church bulletin. Transition Mar Vista began within a yoga center. Thus their earliest publicity included fliers in the yoga center entrance. Transition events were offered through the yoga center calendar as well. (Note: If you are working within an existing local group, dig deep and get creative. Capitalize on any connections you can see between the purposes of the two groups. Example: connections between faith communities and the Transition approach).
In the early days, I posted meeting notices to other local "green" groups. If you are Facebook-knowledgeable, this one might work for you (although I did it in the pre-Facebook days). You can capitalize on the growing mentions of Transition in the green press. My local group also had devoted early attendees who took paper fliers out to other groups they were in regular contact with.
As my local group progressed, I began learning how to get meeting notices into the free calendar listings in local newspapers. Within the Transition movement we often talk about "reskilling" or acquiring new skills to cope with this new age ... for a Transition initiator, publicity is a skill you will need to embrace and acquire.
Publicity serves two huge purposes. True, it does help get bodies to your meetings. But in a broader context, publicity tells everyone who reads your blurb that SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. That little paragraph in a local newspaper says "there is a group, alive and well in your local neighborhood, that is taking action on these things." "There are other people who are concerned, people who care." Over the long term in your community, getting this message out consistently is perhaps even more important than getting participants to your meetings. More on publicity.
Let's face it, being an initiator can be lonely sometimes. You might feel like you are the only one in your neighborhood who knows (or cares) about the potential horrors of peak oil or climate change or economic contraction. And meanwhile it takes a bit of time to get a local Transition group started, to get down to work on solving or mitigating or avoiding those problems. You need a support team -- a team of cheerleaders to keep you going.
Reach out to teams in other areas. This is no longer "the early days" for Transiton in the U.S. -- there is now a sizeable network. They even offer online courses. Connect by email with nearby initiatives, even if they are so far away you might never travel there. Read Transition news (national and international). Meanwhile, learn, learn, learn, and read positive news sources to keep your spirits up.
Additionally, realize that the biggest changes are internal -- they're not visible. Someone who is "greening" their lifestyle in one way (say, starting to carry cloth bags) might not be visible to someone else whose first baby steps were to set up their family composting operations. Neither one of these people is recognizable when they're in their car on the freeway. Each of these people might feel very alone until they find common discussion at a Transition event. Thus while you might feel you are "the only one," trust that there are plenty of invisible partners out there. Far more than you can even imagine.
Joanne Poyourow is the initiator of Transition action for many parts of Los Angeles, and is part of the core team of the Transition Los Angeles city hub. She is the author of several Transition-related books, and blogs at Transition US.

Numenhalla lies beneath all cities, all mounts and valleys, and all lands. All men know this because Lord Typhon made it so more than three centum ago when he reformed the sun.A great war against daemons and chaos had been fought and the land ruined, but the mighty gods provided for Their children. The land was remade and the sun was reformed, from a disc to a lance, burning across the sky with his promise; That men would again know peace. Once man had learned to live in peace, the promised land would be the reward.
And mankind did live in peace. They basked in the holy warmth of the gods who provided guidance and service. But the promise was not upheld.
It has been many years since the gods have spoken to man, their ancient altars long shadowed from their glorious radience, only the oldest of the long lived races (humans, dwarves, elves) still remember when the gods would speak. Now the hour grows long and the future uncertain. More than three centum have passed, and the crops are fallow, people are growing ill, and strange things are said to roam at night. Men seek answers by turning to dark powers, perhaps awaking the very daemons that humanity struggled so long to kill.
It is said that Typhon and the Gods below wander the Numenhalla, for that is their home. Perhaps they have fallen asleep, perhaps they are imprisoned by demons, perhaps you have been abandoned. Whatever the reason, something must be done. The answer must lie below, somewhere in the deep, in the Numenhalla where the gods are said to walk.

Wine is an investment you can savor, but while many of the rich and famous are amassing impressive collections in their cellars, others go even further by buying the farm, so to speak.
Although it takes deep pockets to own and run a vineyard, the fruits of the labor are often worth it. A single bottle of Inglenook wine, produced by longtime vintner and Academy Award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola, can retail for as much as $500.

Latest News
GOP rejects Senate deal on payroll tax
WASHINGTON — The fate of the two-month Social Security tax break extension suddenly became uncertain Sunday as House Speaker John Boehner said he and most Republicans were opposed to the plan.
"It's pretty clear that I and our members oppose the Senate bill," Boehner, R-Ohio, told NBC's "Meet the Press." Republicans, he said, want a longer-term fix.
Boehner was reflecting the view of many House Republicans, who complained loudly in a conference call about the deal hours after the Senate overwhelmingly approved the measure on Saturday.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, reacted angrily.
"Instead of threatening middle-class families with a thousand-dollar tax hike, Speaker Boehner should bring up the bipartisan compromise that (Republican Senate Leader Mitch) McConnell and I negotiated, and which passed the Senate with an overwhelming majority of Democratic and Republican votes," Reid said.
"I would hate to think that Speaker Boehner is refusing to act on this bipartisan compromise because he is afraid it will actually pass, but I cannot imagine any other reason why he would not bring it up for a vote."
Other Democrats joined the chorus.
"It's time House Republicans stop playing politics and get the job done for the American people," said White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer. Added Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee: "This is the latest example of the tea party Republicans sacrificing the good of the country on the altar of extreme ideology."
The $33 billion package approved Saturday would extend the current Social Security tax rate paid by employees through the end of February. The 2011 rate is 4.2 percent; it would revert to 6.2 percent if the package doesn't take effect.
The bill, which President Barack Obama lauded, also would extend unemployment benefits for long-term jobless workers and continue current Medicare payment rates to physicians. Without any action, payments would be cut 27.4 percent next year.
It was thought that Republicans would support the temporary fixes, particularly since they included a GOP provision to speed up consideration of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The Obama administration had sought to delay a decision on the pipeline, which environmental groups oppose, until 2013. The Senate voted 89 to 10 for the bill.
But Boehner, as well as other Republicans, made it clear they didn't like a two-month fix.
"How can you do tax policy for two months?" he asked.
All the Senate bill does, he said, is trigger the same fight when Congress returns next month.
"I believe that two months is just kicking the can down the road. The American people are tired of that. Frankly, I'm tired of it," Boehner said.
Laena Fallon, spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., echoed that view, saying in a statement: "Two months is too short. The House opposes (the Senate) bill because — to put it simply — we owe the middle class, employers and doctors better than a two-month extension. Washington is already causing massive uncertainty to those struggling in the Obama economy. We can do better. "
Republicans are expected to come up with an alternative plan. Last week, the House GOP approved a package that would continue the breaks for a year. It gradually reduced the maximum weeks of jobless benefits from the current 99 weeks to 59 weeks, and paid for the plan partly with a freeze on federal pay.
If the House rejects the Senate's two-month plan, House and Senate negotiators would have to iron out a deal before Dec. 31.
Reid was not pleased. "When we met last week, Speaker Boehner requested that Senator McConnell and I work out a compromise. Neither side got everything they wanted, but we forged a middle ground that passed the Senate by an overwhelming bipartisan majority," Reid said.
The House plans votes Monday night. Since Republicans hold 242 of the House's 435 seats, the Senate plan is unlikely to pass, although an alternative could be approved.
Getting a one-year plan has proven difficult, however, since Democrats want to pay for it with a surtax on millionaires, which Republicans tend to oppose.
Other Democrats were upset about the Keystone provision.
"This expedited process will bypass a thorough review of the project as well as an ongoing investigation of the review process by the State Department Inspector General," said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

26 - 27 February, 2004
The Space Telescope Science Institute hosted a two-day workshop on the topic of "The Science Potential of a 10-30m UV/Optical Space Telescope" on 26-27 February 2004. The workshop focused on the scientific goals that make the development of such a mission compelling. Sessions were organized in a manner that explored the potential trade space, with topics such as UV vs. optical vs. near-IR sensitivity, imaging vs. spectroscopy, aperture vs. stability and high Strehl ratio, and wide field vs. ultra high resolution imaging.
Recent meetings in Boulder, Chicago, and Baltimore have explored a possible successor to Hubble from scientific and technical vantage points. This workshop was intended to follow those meetings with an eye toward the science that can be done with more ambitious missions than those discussed previously. With a possible time-frame 20 years in the future, the time is right to define the scientific goals that will determine the basic structure of such a mission.
The workshop was held at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. Talks were followed by discussion sessions that explored the trade-offs for a possible mission. Speakers included Gary Bernstein, Pieter van Dokkum, Holland Ford, Abraham Loeb, Jill Bechtold, Kurt Adelberger, Todd Tripp, Roger Angel, Chris Martin, Mike Rich, Douglas Richstone, David Spergel, Alycia Weinberger, and Harley Thronson. There were also a wide range of contributed talks and poster presentations.

Apparently Google's "+1" sharing buttons for Google+ have taken off so much that there are more out there than there are Twitter sharing buttons, according to a report cited by VatorNews.
Third-party site owners can add little buttons on their sites to let people share on social services like Facebook, Twitter and Google+. And there are apparently more Google+ buttons out there than Twitter buttons, which seems incredible.
Perhaps one reason is that there are a lot of third-party Twitter share buttons out there and those aren't counted?
In any case, here's what it looks like:

Viking is one of those Cadillac-type brands in the appliance world: pro performance and classic good looks at a premium price point — until now.
The iconic commercial range manufacturer totally overhauled its former designer line to unveil something wholly different — sleek, modern and much more accessible.
Meet the new Viking Designer Series:
Not only does the new line depart from anything previously offered by Viking, but the Designer Series' price point competes with mass premium brands — kitchen package will start at $8,400 and the dual fuel range will cost $3,999 — while the new line retains the luxury and performance we expect from Viking.
Because of its price, Viking was previously a brand generally reserved for the upper crust and the, ahem, more veteran consumer. But this line opens up Viking to a whole new generation with hipper, more laid-back styling to match.
Designer Series products come in standard sizing, so upgrades from existing kitchens don't require messing with the countertops and cabinets. I think the stainless steel finish is clean and chic combined with the linear handle, but many models have additional color finish or custom overlay panels available, too.
Warners' Stellian should be getting Designer Series into our showrooms any day now, so it will be interesting to see the distinction from Viking Professional — and the styling of premium brands in general — in person.

Over 99 percent of state waters now opened for fishing
April 11, 2011 - Today, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, in coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, ordered an emergency reopening of commercial fishing in portions of state, inside waters within the Mississippi River Delta that were previously closed due to impacts from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill last year.
"While the effects of the oil spill will continue to affect our state for years to come, we are as confidant as ever in the safety of Louisiana's seafood, the most-tested seafood in the world," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham. "Today marks an important step in the journey to a full recovery for fishermen who depend on these resources for their livelihood and I am happy to report that over 99 percent of Louisiana's waters are open to fishing."
Secretary Barham ordered this opening following the completion of comprehensive testing, after which the FDA advised that shrimp, crab and finfish tissue samples tested from these previously closed areas are safe for consumption.
Commercial fishing reopens immediately today in the portions of state inside waters between the eastern shore of Southwest Pass and the southern shore of North Pass of the Mississippi River.
This reopening does not include shrimp harvesting, as the shrimp season in these waters has not been opened.
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov [4] on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb [5] or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.
