Since EAW is referred by other specs like CSS3 Text, I hope future discussions in Unicode covers other scopes than legacy encodings as well. Your point about specs referencing EAW is well taken. I no longer maintain this spec, but I was planning to review Jungshik's comments and propose a suitable plan for action for Unicode.

Orioles Acquire Starter Joe Saunders; Lindstrom to D-Backs
The Orioles completed a trade today for Arizona Diamondbacks' starter Joe Saunders.
The Orioles send RP Matt Lindstrom to Arizona and a player to be named later to the D-Backs for Saunders and cash considerations.
Saunders will take a spot in the rotation, the Orioles have stated that Jake Arrieta will take Lindstrom's spot in the bullpen.
Orioles acquire LHP Joe Saunders from Arizona in exchange for RHP Matt Lindstrom
The Orioles today announced that they have acquired LHP JOE SAUNDERS and cash considerations from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for RHP MATT LINDSTROM and a player to be named later. RHP JAKE ARRIETA has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to take Lindstrom's place on the 25-man roster for today's game.
Saunders, 31, is 6-10 with a 4.22 ERA (130.0IP, 61ER) in 21 starts for Arizona this season. The eight-year veteran is 75-62 with a 4.17 ERA (1116.2IP, 517ER) in 182 career starts with the Angels (2005-10) and Arizona (2010-12). Saunders, a Virginia native, has made four career post-season starts (2008 ALDS, 2009 ALCS and 2011 NLDS). Originally a first round pick (#12 overall) by the Angels in 2002 out of Virginia Tech, Saunders graduated from West Springfield High School in Springfield, VA.
Lindstrom went 1-0 with a 2.72 ERA (36.1IP, 11ER) and 30 strikeouts in 34 appearances for the Orioles. He was acquired with RHP JASON HAMMEL from Colorado in exchange for RHP JEREMY GUTHRIE on February 6.
Arrieta went 3-9 with a 6.13 ERA (101.1IP, 69ER) in 18 starts with the Orioles earlier this season. He went 3-4 with a 4.91 ERA (44.0IP, 24ER) in eight starts with the Tides.

We have for you this morning an amusing tale from D.C. Sports Bog about another Dan Snyder, a man who now lugs around the burden of a besmirched name:
"I think it just kind of gradually happened, this creeping, dawning awareness," [the other Dan] Snyder told me. "I'd be at the Blockbuster trying to rent a movie, I'd give them my credit card and they'd go 'Dan Snyder? You're not Dan Snyder?' Then they'd unload on me with whatever they hated about what was going on with the Redskins."
There are certain awkward elements to this. Internet searches, for example.
"I've done a Google search on my name a couple times, and you look at it, and you're like 'Oh, gosh, that's not so hot,' " Snyder said. "You hope that people drill down and find out who you really are."
Remember, not every Dan Snyder is bad. Attacking innocent Dan Snyders is wrong and will not be condoned. The one in the story happens to be a former Marine sergeant and an opera tenor. He also owns the website dansnyder.com, which must really chafe Dan Snyder.

volume or price
The real question is the cost of sales at a given volume. Apple I agree have a tiny share of the total phone market. But they are getting to charge through the nose for it. There is an advantage to having only one phone. Also, the phone is helping sell other Apple kit.

Freeverse dropped us a note to let us know that they've released a "preview" of one their iPhone game Wingnuts Moto Racer, a heavily redacted preview.
Turns out that the developer, best known perhaps for their work on Marathon: Durandal for XBLA, is under an NDA with Apple and can't talk about the game just yet.
There are still some tidbits to be found on the site though.
Moto Racing will make use of the iPhone's accelerometer to steer a motorcycle through races, and the intern who wrote up their "preview" says the game feels like an arcade title. Judging by the bits found around the giant red redactions, it looks like the game will indeed use tilting to steer and that, at least according to an intern at the place that makes it, it works well.
They didn't include any screens because of the NDA, but there is some art from their Mac level building utility to give you at least a taste of the art style.
Last we heard Freeverse was also working on a Sports pack for the iPhone, but no word on how that is progressing.
Freeverse tells us that while they will be at next week's WWDC, they don't plan on revealing anything new.

With restrictor-plate races often producing surprise winners, some of NASCAR's top drivers have never won a points race at Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Daytona International Speedway roulette wheel will leave another NASCAR driver happily celebrating in victory lane after Saturday night's Coke Zero 400, but who that might be is anyone's guess.
Restrictor-plate races such as the ones run at Daytona and Talladega Superspeedway are simply too unpredictable to forecast, and the races occasionally produce surprise winners.
DAYTONA: Danica Patrick will be more aggressive
"Every car in the field, with the exception of one or two, proved that anybody with this style of package can get up there and make it happen," said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finished second in February's Daytona 500.
PHOTOS: Relive the 2013 Daytona 500
The most recent plate race, the May 5 event at Talladega, was a perfect example. Underdog David Ragan and Front Row Motorsports teammate David Gilliland scored a stunning 1-2 finish.
And just two years ago, Trevor Bayne won the Daytona 500 in his second Sprint Cup start.
But the instances of random winners mean some of the sport's top drivers have never won a points race at Daytona.
PETTY: Daytona in July just another race
"Restrictor-plate racing is just totally different. It's hard to honestly even group it with the other 32 races," said Matt Kenseth, who has won three plate races — including two Daytona 500s.
"Winning these races, there's a lot of circumstances that come into play."
FANTASY PREVIEW: Coke Zero 600
Here are six stars who could get their first Daytona points victory Saturday (ranked by number of starts):
Kurt Busch
Starts: 25
Best finish: 2nd (three times)
Why he could win: Busch, who pushed then-teammate Ryan Newman to victory in the 2008 Daytona 500, is certainly capable of winning Saturday. He won the Daytona Nationwide Series race one year ago and understands how to get to the front. Of the drivers entered in the Coke Zero 400, Busch ranks seventh in career laps led here.
Kasey Kahne
Starts: 19
Best finish: 2nd
Why he could win: Hendrick power, anyone? Kahne drives for NASCAR's best team — Hendrick Motorsports — and teammate Jimmie Johnson just won the Daytona 500 in February. Kahne not only will have drivers who could work with him on the final run — Johnson, Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon, for starters — but it's likely those teammates also will be toward the front of the pack.
Carl Edwards
Starts: 17
Best finish:2nd (twice)
Why he could win: Edwards has led only four laps at Daytona in his Cup career, but he's come close to pulling off a victory on a couple occasions — most recently finishing second to Bayne. He was in position to win May's Talladega race until Ragan and Gilliland snuck by him at the finish.
Denny Hamlin
Starts: 15
Best finish: 3rd
Why he could win: Hamlin's restrictor-plate luck has to turn around sometime ... right? Though he won the first plate race he entered — an exhibition Budweiser Shootout in 2006 — he's never gone to victory lane at Daytona or Talladega since. He has two top-10 finishes at Daytona, but he did lead 33 laps in February's race — and Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kenseth and Kyle Busch were strong until their engines blew up.
Clint Bowyer
Starts: 15
Best finish: 3rd
Why he could win: The lasting image of Bowyer at Daytona has been his car sliding across the finish line of the 2007 Daytona 500 on its roof. But as evidenced by his two wins at Talladega, he's a major threat on superspeedways.
Brad Keselowski
Starts: Eight
Best finish: 4th
Why he could win: After finishing 15th or worse in his first six career starts at Daytona, Keselowski has consecutive top-10 finishes in the last two races here. Plus, Keselowski absolutely knows how to win a restrictor-plate race — he has two Cup wins and another in the Nationwide Series at Talladega.

|Hey! Although I tend to write mostly about the hobbits, I chose an Elvish user name for 2 reasons. I wanted to incorporate something about the stars in my user name because I love them so much. I later came across the word, Elemmírë, in the book 'The Complete Guide to Middle-earth.' It's an Elvish word, meaning 'Star-jewel.' Ironically enough, my grandmother used to call me her 'Precious Jewel' because of my real name that was named after hers, Julie. So, I thought it rather befitting to choose a word that meant 'star-jewel.' My first exposure to LOTR was when I was a child growing up in the early 80s & the cartoon version of ROTK premiered. I remebered bits & pieces of that early rendition, but never the full story. I grew up knowing what hobbits were, that there was one named Frodo Baggins, something about a Ring, & the LOTR was written by J.R.R. Tolkien. One of my good friends was an avid Tolkien fan & read the series at least 2-3 times a year & was always recommending it to me, but for some reason I never picked it up & always put it on my 'To Read List.' The same thing happened when the movies came out. I was too busy in college to pay them much attention, although I wanted to see them in the theater. I now kick myself for not doing so. The very first scene I ever saw was when my parents rented FOTR. I passed through the living room on my way to work & glimpsed the part when Arwen & Frodo are being chased by the Black Riders across the Bruinen. I was hooked. When I finally did see all 3 films, I fell in love with Middle-earth & requested the LOTR books for my birthday. My mom gifted me with what I call my 'Box of Tolkien.' She had given me FOTR book & the film soundtrack. I received the next 2 books after I plowed my way through the first. I had finally found my utopia in reading. I have longed for a highly-detailed story like this for what seems like forever & Tolkien is now my favorite author. I quickly discovered fanfic & I have enjoyed reading it so much that I have become inspired by not only Tolkien, but the other writers in the fanfic world as well. I have always loved writing & I am now happy to share my tales with the rest of you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed all of yours over the past year. Namrie!

A Yearning
My life as a Malaysian doctor in the United States.
Day 1 of work after having been gone for almost 3 weeks. As it turns out, one of my patients today had a multinodular goiter.
My manuscript shall be entitled: "The effects of a Malaysian diet on body weight and composition: A 2-week prospective study" "Prevalence of depression in subjects deprived of Malaysian mamak food".
Objective: Malaysian food has typically been thought to be lacking in nutrients and was traditionally thought to be a poor source of energy. We sought to investigate this and to dispel any myths regarding the unhealthiness of the Malaysian diet.
Methodology: This was a prospective study of 2 weeks duration involving a large number of subjects (n=1; however because the study subject was an outstanding male specimen, this was deemed adequatedly powered to show a statistically significant difference). The patient was subjected to no less than 4 meals a day of Malaysian food of his choosing, limited only by stomach capacity and postprandial nausea. Western and non-ethnic foods were omitted from our study. Body weight was measured by a single Weight Watchers digital scale, and data regarding intake/output was captured using a specialized digital-ink-wood fiber papyrus interface (ie pen and paper). Data was analyzed by using the t test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
Results: In the 16 days in his native land of Malaysia, the subject consumed 85 meals (mean daily 6 ± 2). He experienced 2 episodes of traveller's diarrhea, both of which were minor and did not require decreasing the frequency of meals. At the end of the study duration, he gained 2.3 kg (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Contrary to public belief, we have shown that the Malaysian diet is rich in nutrients, and should be employed in a malnourished population.

I wonder how fast summer days squeezed by , when my mind search for cues of the shortest and the most beautiful seasons of the year.
But as you might know kerala syrian christians are known for their daily meat-fish-alcohol intake. So we love chicken , pork & beef ; we make it occasionally and fish many times a week , its just that we take it in a harmless way ;).

Kashmiri red chili powder - 1/2 to 1 tablespoon
Coriander powder - 1 tablespoon ( i use freshly dry roasted and ground coriander)
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tea spoon
Water - just enough to make a paste with all the powders.
( or instead of all the powders you can use store bought meat masala , but the quantity depends on the brand , so please look the recipe measurements on the back of the masala pack and adjust the spoons with the kilos of chicken)

Heat oil in a pan and add the ingredients in Bowl 2 and fry for a minute. Add onion, curry leaves and fry for 5-6 minutes and add garlic and ginger and saute till brown or the raw smell disappears. This will take around 8-10 minutes.
Make a paste with all the ingredients in Bowl 3 and add to the pan and fry for a minute or two.
Add marinated chicken ,salt to taste and cubed potato and combine well and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Mix canned coconut milk with warm water and add to the pan and mix well.
Add garam masala and cook covered in medium flame for 30 to 40 minutes (add more water if needed, )
Uncover , add crushed black pepper ,cook for another 8-10 minutes.( cook more time if you want the chicken to be too tender or if you have bone in or leg pieces ). If you want more gravy , mix coconut milk and water, add to the pan and bring to boil.
Drizzle a tea spoon of oil and curry leaves . Switch off the flame and let stand covered for 30 minutes for all the flavors to blend in .

AMC Switching Its Theaters to Reclining Seats, and Fewer of Them
Good news for people who want bigger, more comfortable seats at the movie theater: AMC is trying out a new strategy, renovating several of their existing theaters to replace their traditional seats with bigger, reclining seats. There's just one catch: there will be fewer seats in every auditorium, which should improve ticket sales, but it means you'll have to be more vigilant about buying your movie tickets for opening weekend screenings.
The Wall Street Journal has a detailed story on AMC's newest multi-million dollar endeavor: renovating 1,800 of its almost 5,000 auditoriums in the U.S. to outfit them with recliner-style seating. While the chairs will increase in size and comfortability (and appeal), this is also means that there will be fewer seats in the new auditoriums, decreasing capacity by anywhere between 50 and 70%. In some theaters, this means fewer than 70 seats will be available.
But given that it's been difficult for theaters to fill their auditoriums, and the cost of tearing down and reconstructing newer theaters is too outrageous, downsizing the auditoriums and re-fitting them with bigger, better seats is an easy (but still costly) fix. With fewer seats, there's fewer tickets to sell, and AMC can charge more for the amenity. The company will not be adding the additional $1 or $2 to ticket prices until about a year after the change, in order to condition customers to desire the new seating arrangements.
So what this means is that for the first year after you visit an AMC with the new seating installed, you can enjoy your regular ticket prices and those awesome new reclining chairs (which will recline all the way back in most theaters). Once you get used to this perk and start to prefer it to regular theater seating, AMC will add that $1 or $2 charge to movie tickets for all screenings in upgraded auditoriums -- then the choice is yours. Do you want to pay extra for a substantially larger and more comfortable seat, or do you want to sit in a regular theater with standard seating? After a year of enjoying the benefit at no extra charge, you'll likely be swayed to fork over the extra buck or two.
As for cities where theaters aren't performing as poorly, AMC will install reclining seats that do not recline all the way back, which means they will not have to downsize as many seats in the theater. Attendance in the renovated theaters has already leapt by 80%, so clearly the plan is working.
And AMC isn't the only chain implementing this new approach: Regal theaters are also revamping their seating, and will have 25 theaters outfitted with bigger, better seating by the end of this year.
Getting people back to the theaters -- especially in the wake of Netflix and VOD options -- has been a major headache for years, but it seems like they've finally come up with a solution that suits both consumer and corporation alike. What do you guys think? Does the concept of bigger, reclining seats appeal to you? Would you pay extra for the amenity?

Windows 8 doesn't officially launch until October, but the dramatic changes to the OS most gaming PCs use have already proven quite controversial.
Earlier this year, Blizzard EVP of game design Rob Pardo echoed Gabe Newell's sentiments about Windows 8. Newell had called the OS a catastrophe, and Pardo replied via Twitter that Windows 8 was "not awesome for Blizzard either."
It seems, however, that not all minds at Blizzard are particularly worried about Windows 8. In an interview with CVG, Blizzard senior software engineer Darren Williams spoke briefly about Windows 8 and the future of Blizzard games going forward.
Discussing tomorrow's Mists of Pandaria expansion for the venerable World of Warcraft, Williams confirmed that WoW will run in Windows 8, saying, "We put our games on platforms our players are already on, so yeah, it will be available." Given that Windows 8 does have reasonable backwards compatibility with Windows 7, Vista, and XP software, hearing that World of Warcraft will run on the new Windows is no surprise, though the confirmation is no doubt comforting to WoW fans.
As to the future? Blizzard hasn't "worked with Windows 8 directly yet, but we'll certainly switch over to it," Williams said, adding, "I think that we'll go with the platforms that the most people are on. There's no particular fear we have of Windows 8."
Blizzard certainly should be wherever the players are. Will the players be flocking to Windows 8? Only time will tell.

Frost/Nixon (film)
2008 film by Ron Howard
Frost/Nixon is a 2008 film providing a dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon.
- Directed by Ron Howard. Written by Peter Morgan, based on his play of the same name.
400 million people were waiting for the truth. (taglines)
Richard NixonEdit
- Whenever I have had my doubts I remembered the construction worker in Philadelphia because he came up to me and he said "Sir I got only one criticism of that Cambodia thing; if you'd gone in earlier you might've captured the gun that killed my boy three months ago." So you're asking me do I regret going into Cambodia?... No, I don't. You know what, I wish I'd gone in sooner. And harder!
- I let them down. I let down...my friends. I let down...the country. And worst of all...I let down our system of government, and the dreams of all those young people that ought to get into government but now they think: "Oh it's all too corrupt and the rest." Yeah... I let the American people down. And I'm gonna have to carry that burden with me, for the rest of my life...My political life is over.
James Reston, Jr.Edit
- You know the first and greatest sin of the deception of television is that it simplifies; it diminishes great, complex ideas, stretches of time; whole careers become reduced to a single snapshot. At first I couldn't understand why Bob Zelnick was quite as euphoric as he was after the interviews, or why John Birt felt moved to strip naked and rush into the ocean to celebrate. But that was before I really understood the reductive power of the close-up, because David had succeeded on that final day, in getting for a fleeting moment what no investigative journalist, no state prosecutor, no judiciary committee or political enemy had managed to get; Richard Nixon's face swollen and ravaged by loneliness, self-loathing and defeat. The rest of the project and its failings would not only be forgotten, they would totally cease to exist.
- You have to set up that he has an anti-democratic personality. There's a reason they call him Tricky Dick.
- The man lost twenty-one thousand americans and a million Indochinese during His administration. He only escaped jail because of Ford's pardon. Right now, I submit its impossible to feel anything close to sympathy for Richard Nixon. He devalued the presidency and He left the country that elected Him in trauma. The American people need a conviction, pure and simple. The integrity of our political system, of Democracy as an idea, entirely depends on it. And, in years to come, if people look back and say that it was in this interview that Richard Nixon exonerated Himself, that would be the worst crime of all.
Jack BrennanEdit
- Well, in boxing, you know, there's always that first moment, and you see it in the challenger's face. It's that moment that he feels the impact from the champ's first jab. It's kind of a sickening moment, when he realizes that all those months of pep talks and the hype, the psyching yourself up, had been delusional all along. You could see it in Frost's face. If he didn't know the caliber of the man that he was up against before the interview started, he certainly knew it halfway through the President's first answer.
- Richard Nixon: That's our tragedy, you and I, Mr. Frost. No matter how high we get, they still look down at us.
- David Frost: I really don't know what you're talking about.
- Richard Nixon: Yes you do. Now come on. No matter how many awards or column inches are written about you, or how high the elected office is, it's still not enough. We still feel like the little man. The loser. They told us we were a hundred times, the smartasses in college, the high ups. The well-born. The people whose respect we really wanted. Really craved. And isn't that why we work so hard now, why we fight for every inch? Scrambling our way up in undignified fashion. If we're honest for a minute, if we reflect privately, just for a moment, if we allow ourselves a glimpse into that shadowy place we call our soul, isn't that why we're here? Now? The two of us. Looking for a way back into the sun. Into the limelight. Back onto the winner's podium. Because we can feel it slipping away. We were headed, both of us, for the dirt. The place the snobs always told us that we'd end up. Face in the dust, humiliated all the more for having tried. So pitifully hard. Well, to hell with that! We're not going to let that happen, either of us. We're going to show those bums, we're going to make 'em choke on our continued success. Our continued headlines! Our continued awards! And power! And glory! We are gonna make those motherfuckers choke! Am I right?
- David Frost: You are, except only one of us can win.
- Richard Nixon: You know those parties of yours, the ones I read about in the newspapers. Do you actually enjoy those?
- David Frost: Of course.
- Richard Nixon: You have no idea how fortunate that makes you, liking people. Being liked. Having that facility. That lightness, that charm. I don't have it, I never did.
- David Frost: Are you really saying the President can do something illegal?
- Richard Nixon: I'm saying that when the President does it, it's not illegal!
- David Frost: ...I'm sorry?
- 400 million people were waiting for the truth.
- An epic battle for the truth.

|Mid-term Report on PHoneyC GSoC project 1. This report
describes what I have done on the PHoneyC's libemu integration
for shellcode and heapspray detection during the first half of
the GSoC. Till now, the main ideas on this feature has been
fast-implemented (actually I mean poor coding style) and the
whole flow works well, with some code rewriting and performance
optimization needed in the future.
PHoneyC is a low-interaction honeyclient written by Jose Nazario. The
shellcode (SC for short) and heapspray (HS for short) detection module
for PHoneyC is listed on the GSoC this year and I feel lucky to be
chosen to implement it. This report is the main idea about how to
detect SC/HS in PHoneyC and how to build and run this version of
PHoneyC. Note that this module (I call it honeyjs) is far from
complete currently and this report is only for midterm evaluation. So
it is possible that the way to build and run it won't work in the
As for the introduction to PHoneyC, I think I'd better quote what the
original developer said in his paper 'PhoneyC: A Virtual client
This paper presents PhoneyC, a honeyclient tool that can
provide visibility into new and complex client-side attacks.
PhoneyC is a virtual honeyclient, meaning it is not a real
application but rather an emulated client. By using dynamic
analysis, PhoneyC is able to remove the obfuscation from many
malicious pages. Furthermore, PhoneyC emulates specific
vulnerabilities to pinpoint the attack vector. PhoneyC is a
modular framework that enables the study of malicious HTTP
pages and understands modern vulnerabilities and attacker
My approach to detection shellcode and heapspray can be simply
described as:
1. Firstly I have modified the python-spidermonkey v0.0.1a
(written in Pyrex) to let the Javascript Virtual Machine
interrupted on each assignment.
2. Then I check if the r-value of this assignment is a string.
If so, I use libemu to check for shellcodes in this string. If
there are shellcode within the string, it will append an alert
message into the alert list.
3. A series of shellcode alerts relating to one variable will
be summarized into a potential heapspray alert.
4. After the execution of the Javascripts, phoneyc will
analyze the shellcodes for mal-download URLs and other
information using libemu.
Also there are some optimizations such as mal-value hash table to
avoid duplicate check to the same value and dataflow tracking (e.g.
the concatenation of a mal-string (string that contains shellcodes)
with any other string will result in a mal-string).
The above is all I have done in the first half of this GSoC, and the
python module I implemented is named honeyjs.
To successfully compile the honeyjs module, the following
software/library is required:
"Pyrex - a Language for Writing Python Extension Modules."
<http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/>. I
use version 0.9.8.5.
"SpiderMonkey is the code-name for the Mozilla's C
implementation of JavaScript."
<http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/>. I use version 1.8.0
pre-release 1.
"libemu is a small library written in c offering basic x86
emulation and shellcode detection using GetPC heuristics."
<http://libemu.carnivore.it/>. I use the version from the CVS.
For the reason that I will rewrite the pyrex code in C to use the
latest version of python-spidermonkey, it's meaningless to write any
automatic install scripts this moment. So you have to confirm the
packages above are correctly installed and manually change the path to
the libraries and header files in ./lib/setup,py and run the command
make to build it.
To test this branch of PHoneyC, change the LINK variable in
honeyclient.py to your URL and run it. The shellcode/heapspray
alerts will be printed, the shellcode will be analyzed and the
URLs will be stored in a python list if it is a download-and-exec
NOTE: The deobfuscating module is developed by another GSoCer so the
current deobfuscating ability is limited. We will merge together at
the end of the GSoC.
For example, running the honeyclient.py on the test sample 2448.html
will prints like this:

I testified before the House Budget Committee this morning, for a hearing entitled "The Case for Pro-Growth Tax Reform." My full written testimony is available at the committee's website and also at the Concord Coalition site, here. (Later you should be able to see the video on the committee website.)
As I explained at the opening of my testimony:
[T]he "case" for pro-growth tax reform is easy and non-controversial—as achieving a stronger economy makes pursuing any other social goals easier (deficit reduction, higher and fairer standards of living, greater investment in higher quality public goods and services, etc).
The disagreement is over what makes a given tax reform "pro-growth."
Growing the economy through tax policy isn't as simple as "cutting taxes" to reduce overall tax burdens. Tax cuts all have benefits, but the first thing one learns in an economics class is in a world of scarce resources, we maximize well being by weighing costs against benefits, and at the margin starting from where we are right now. Tax cuts that might benefit particular households and businesses don't necessarily pass society's cost-benefit test, even based on a narrower and naïve goal of maximizing GDP because:
(i) If deficit financed, the direct reduction in public saving will typically outweigh any positive response from private saving, so national saving and economic growth falls. This is the biggest factor preventing simple cuts in overall tax rates from being "pro growth" over the longer term.
(ii) How taxes are cut matters: marginal tax rates are what matters for supply-side growth effects (increases in incentives to work and save), and those responses depend on how large the change in marginal rates (we're starting from relatively low rates), how large the responsiveness ("substitution effects") of households and businesses to those rates (often pretty small), and how other factors (such as "income effects") may swamp those responses to price changes.
(iii) In an economy still recovering from recession, we have to worry about getting back to "full employment" (where we are putting all of our productive capacity to use) before turning to growing the productive capacity of the economy over the longer term. Tax policies that help increase demand for goods and services (and hence businesses' demand for workers) can be quite different from those that increase the supply of labor and capital.
Our experience with the Bush tax cuts has demonstrated each of these challenges, as their major contribution to record-high deficits clearly reduced national saving and economic growth, were not very effective at growing the supply side of the economy (even according to the Bush Administration's own Treasury Department), and are not the kind of tax cuts that provide high "bang per buck" in a recessionary economy.
That is, growing the economy isn't as easy as just "cutting taxes," because the loss of revenues feeds dollar-for-dollar into a higher deficit and reduced public saving. Unless private saving responds immediately or even eventually like gangbusters to the form of the tax cut (and that's never been our experience by the way), national saving–the sum of public plus private saving–will likely fall. So the first effect of a tax cut on economic growth is that direct and certain negative effect of the deficit on saving, that we gamble away for the hope of an uncertain positive private sector response to at least partially offset it. But empirically, it never comes close to fully offsetting it, so empirically, there is always a cost to tax cuts that has to be weighed against any benefits.
It's not enough that tax cuts are "good" (especially for those who receive them). They have to be good enough.

CAIRO - Opponents of Egypt's president scuffled with his supporters on Friday during a demonstration that was billed as a test of Mohamed Mursi's popularity on the street but which managed to muster only modest numbers against his rule.
After months of turmoil and bloodshed, Egypt's streets have calmed since Mursi's June election that ended 60 years of rule by military men, a relief to Egyptians and the West, wary of instability in a nation that has a peace treaty with Israel.
But Mursi now faces the giant task of rebuilding a shattered economy and delivering better living standards to a nation of 82 million where swathes still live in dire poverty. Egyptians had been nervous that Friday's anti-Mursi protest, flagged for several weeks, could turn violent and security was tight around the presidential palace and some other sites.
In Cairo's Tahrir Square, rival groups of youths hurled stones and bottles at each other, staging running battles in side streets. Some wielded sticks and charged opponents. Dozens also scuffled in Ismailiya, east of Cairo, a witness said.
But scenes were quieter in other areas of Cairo where Mursi's opponents gathered, and total numbers across the capital and elsewhere were relatively modest, reaching 2,000 or so rather than the seas of people who turned to unseat Mubarak or gathered in other demonstrations since then.
Several liberal groups usually critical of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood stayed away, including the April 6 youth movement that galvanized protests to oust Hosni Mubarak last year. Some said Mursi could not be judged just two months into office.
Activists behind the protest accuse Mursi of seeking to monopolise power after he wrested back prerogatives in August that the military council, which had ruled Egypt for a year and a half after Mubarak's fall, had sought to retain for itself.
"Wake up Egyptian people. Don't fall for the Brotherhood," said Mahmoud, in his 50s, addressing about 200 people in Tahrir Square. "Egypt is for all Egyptians, not only one group."
Many now want to give Mursi time to deliver and want to judge him at the ballot box, not on the street. "Respectable democratic countries elect a leader and then give him time to prove himself," said Sabr Salah, 47, despite not being a Mursi backer. "We must give Mursi a chance because he won the election. We can vote him out again next time."
Violence in Tahrir flared when witnesses heard shots. The Health Ministry reported five people wounded in Tahrir, the state news agency said. The agency also reported a doctor at a temporary clinic in Tahrir said he treated four people including three with gunshot wounds who were taken to hospital nearby.
Elsewhere, police set up a cordon around the presidential palace to protect it from protesters gathered there. The army blocked a road to the Defence Ministry, where there had been clashes between protesters and troops this year.
"We must call for a revolution against the Brotherhood," said Maha Salem, wearing veil, at a protest near Cairo's Nasser City. "They want to take over the country for themselves. Egypt is a civilian state not an Islamist one."
The organizers, among them opposition politician Mohamed Abou Hamed, want an investigation into the funding of the Brotherhood, repressed by Mubarak during his 30-year rule but which has dominated the political scene since he was toppled.
In a morning headline, the daily Al Masry Al Youm called the demonstration "the first test for Mursi", who was sworn in on June 30 as Egypt's first president not drawn from army ranks.
The police said they would protect peaceful protests but would crack down on any lawbreakers after speculation in the press and social media that protesters could target Brotherhood premises. Protest organizers said it would be peaceful.
April 6 said in a statement before the protest that it disagreed with the Brotherhood on many issues but added: "Does all that and more push us to issue a judgment now to burn the group's members or premises and exile them from the country?"
Ahmed Said, head of the Free Egyptians, another liberal group staying away, wrote on Facebook: "Those who want to bring down the Brotherhood should bring them down via elections."
Though some say he deserves more time, he has still drawn criticism, including accusations that he has sought to muzzle the media. Two journalists face charges of insulting Mursi.
However, some liberals back Mursi's early moves, such as his August 12 decision to dismiss top generals, who were seen as obstructing civilian rule, and to cancel a decree that had given the army legislative power in the absence of the parliament, that the generals had dissolved based on a court order.
However, one of his biggest tasks will be to fix the economy. This week, he launched talks for a $4.8 billion International Monetary Fund loan, a bid to rebuild confidence in what was once a darling of frontier market investors.

Feature requests & roadmap / Re: Roadmap« on: October 11, 2008, 07:17:34 am »
We won't integrate Miro or the like as such, however...
There has been major work in the media subsystem below to eventually support feedable media from other sources such as Youtube and RSS. We still need to do the individual handlers and Orbiter code, but the infrastructure is in place. (Thank you aaron.b!)
So the end result will be a lot more integrated.
I do not think the intent of mentioning Miro was to indicate what it does.
I think the previous poster was alluding more to how Miro makes pushing donations to them easy so people are more apt to provide dollars to help fund hardware/development.

For me, as a child of the 90s, the Acura NSX (or Honda NSX if you reside outside of the US) helped define automotive excellence for the decade of my youth.
When the original NSX debuted in 1990, it turned the supercar world on its head. Never before had anyone been able to deliver the performance of a Ferrari 328 or 348 while offering the ease of use and reliability of a Honda Accord.
It's a car I've always dreamed of having the chance to drive.
Unfortunately, the first generation NSX went out of production in 2005 — long before I began my career as an auto journalist. Heck, I only got my driver's license in 2002.
Although the decade-long wait for a successor was less than ideal, the second generation NSX is finally here for 2017.
Recently, Acura invited me up to Lime Rock Park in Connecticut to turn some hot laps in their second generation NSX supercar.
But what I found sitting in the parking lot at Lime Rock piqued my interest even more — a first generation NSX.
Fortunately for me, the grey 2005 NSX is part of Acura's corporate fleet and the company brought it along just in case anyone wanted to take it for a spin.
Here's what happened when Acura turned over the keys to a 2005 Acura NSX.

I've spent some time reading 2012 outlook articles and feel justified in my assessment: 2012 is up to us. Maybe it's even a meme with its own hashtag #u2u -- which is fun with the relevant you to you homonym. In 2012 and going forward we have the power and the need to take responsibility for the design of our work and our careers. (Some of the more interesting outlook articles: BBC, Alan Lepofsky, Teresa Amabile & Steve Kramer, and Andy McAfee.)
The articles I read describe a future even more focused on:
- Consumerization of our work settings - we bring expectations about sharing via social networks and tools like personal phones, computers, and applications into our jobs.
- Empowerment - we have and expect greater control over how we get our work done.
- Transparency - our ability to learn about our environments given the data and tools we can access on our own (or in enlightened organizations, that are offered to us by our organizations).
- Personal branding - The importance of understanding the value you bring to the table and how to help others see where this value fits into how work gets done.
This future pushes us to be responsible for the design of our work, yet few of us have the training to support our new systems design requirements. Systems designers gain their skills through explicit training and tacit knowledge gained through experience. Gaining expertise is unlikely to happen overnight, but I do have some suggestions.
Use 2012 as a learning year
- Learn through commentators who provide you with good examples (I hope you see this blog and my GigaOM posts as sources).
- Give yourself permission to take time for professional development. Give your team members the same gift.
- Stop-Look-Listen, just like crossing a street, before making choices about how you do your work. This includes evaluating your choices. If you went to work in the Starbucks - were you effective? If you decided to leave your laptop at home and only take your tablet with you on a trip, did you make adjustments to your workflow so you would be productive?
- Share your approach to work design with your colleagues. Many things are more fun in a group (thus the proliferation of exercise tools that let you signal to your friends) and work is generally more effective if you're all moving in the same direction or at least understand the choices made around you.
Realize that you need to control your own destiny
2012 may be a learning year, but we will spend the rest of our careers preparing and planning for our next steps. My students drove this home for me in the Fall term. Most of them have personal experience with layoffs, limited company-offered career development, and limited promotion opportunities given baby-boomers are still rebuilding their retirement accounts. Some of us may take numerous career steps inside companies that value internal development. Many more of us, however, are likely to build careers that shift more frequently than they would have in decades past. Read Race Against the Machine for a reasoned explanation of why.
Adding value
I don't see thinking about our personal skills, brands, and careers as selfish. Rather I see this as being an even more valuable member of the organization. Research suggests that realistic job previews for employees reduce turnover and increase effectiveness. Similarly, employee selection that is based on actual work samples allow for more effective hiring. I offer that we will be putting more of our cards on the table in hiring and partnering - and that this will be good for all concerned. We will be expected to come to work prepared and to be prepared to make work better. We're not quite to the point of firing all the managers, but I expect managers in high performing organizations to be facilitators of design rather than people who hand out work and specific methods.
What steps have you already taken toward increasing your work design skills? What suggestions do you have to share? Please add in the comments below.

Police continue to investigate Christmas Day homicide
By IZASKUN E. LARRAÑETA
Day Staff Writer
New London — Police continue to investigate the death of a Guatemalan man whose body was discovered Christmas Day on the bedroom floor at his Hope Street apartment.
The victim has yet to be formally identified, but at Jasmine Thai Restaurant in New London, where the man worked for the past five years as a busboy and occasional prep cook, he was known affectionately as "Amigo," according to restaurant owner Noi Biagetti and her husband, Mark Perera. They believe it was his first job in the United States.
"He was a nice guy and he was treated here like their own family," Perera said. "He was pleasant ... always had a smile on his face. I feel so bad. I was in shock when I first heard. I don't know what happened."
Biagetti said she last saw "Amigo" Tuesday evening and started to wonder if something was wrong when he did not show up for work on Thursday.
"He was a nice person and a good worker," Biagetti said. "We all loved him here — like close family."
An autopsy is scheduled for today to determine the cause and manner of death, said New London Deputy Chief Peter Reichard. Fingerprinting will also be done at the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and may help to positively identify the man, Reichard said.
No arrests had been made as of late Thursday.
Police said they located evidence of foul play and trauma to the man's body and are treating the case as a homicide, which would be the third of the year.
Luis Guzman of New London, who owns 15 Hope St., where the man was found dead, and another property just a few houses down at 22 Hope St., said he did not know the young Guatemalan who died in the second-floor apartment of the multi-family home. Guzman said he was also unaware that six people were living in the apartment, as police have reported.
Guzman, who is originally from the Dominican Republic, said he rented the apartment to a man from Guatemala years ago, but that the man had returned to his homeland and left his roommate, a man he believed was named Jose, in charge of the rent.
He said whenever he or his wife went to collect the rent, he never saw more than two people there. The second-floor apartment has three bedrooms, he said.
Guzman said he has since learned from tenants and neighbors that a lot of drinking had gone on in that apartment. He said one neighbor saw men carrying beer late Tuesday night into the apartment.
He believed the men, including the victim, worked in restaurants. He was told that one of the victim's friends found him dead after he failed to show up for work.
"I was helping a cousin in Uncasville who had locked his keys in his car when I got a call that there were police cars all around the house," said Guzman. "I was upset. It's sad to think that someone got killed there, especially on Christmas."
Guzman said he asked tenants if they had heard or seen something, and they said they heard nothing.
Besides Wednesday's death, one city homicide this year remains under investigation. Jesus Pinero, 29, died Aug. 29 after he was shot multiple times in the area of Connecticut Avenue and Prest Street. The gunman remains at large.
The Oct. 26 death of 2½-month-old Jovanni Browne was also ruled a homicide, caused by abusive head trauma. His father, Adam Browne, 24, is charged with first-degree manslaughter, first-degree assault and risk of injury to a minor for allegedly repeatedly shaking the infant. He has pleaded not guilty in the case and remains held in prison on a $1 million bond.

ROME, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning special-effects wizard Carlo Rambaldi, who worked on film classics "E.T." and "Alien," has died in his native Italy, officials said.
He was 86 when he died Friday in his hometown of Lamezia Terme, ANSA reported.
No specific cause of death was disclosed.
Rambaldi studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and went on to develop special effects for 32 pictures. Among his credits were collaborations with some of Italy's top directors, including Federico Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Mario Monicelli and Dario Argento, and the Hollywood blockbusters "King Kong," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Dune."
"With Rambaldi's passing, we lose a special-effects wizard. He was a true genius," Mario Caligiuri, the Calabria region's cultural affairs officer, told ANSA.

The Henry Luce Foundation has awarded $295,000 to The Burke Theological Library at Columbia University for the processing of the Missionary Research Library Archives and the William Adams Brown Ecumenical Archives. The award will span three years.
"This generous grant will provide for the full processing and preservation of these historic archival collections to the highest professional standards for scholarship, theological education, and service to communities around the world," said John Weaver, director of The Burke Library.
The Missionary Research Library (MRL) Archives contain over 160 unique collections from missionaries and missionary organizations from six continents in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with special strength in early twentieth century China, Japan, and Korea. Because they emphasize field reports, demographic surveys, and other analytical data, the MRL Archives document the cultural realities of indigenous populations to a breathtaking level of detail, with relevance to scholars of religion, historians, anthropologists, economists, and medical researchers, among others.
The William Adams Brown (WAB) Ecumenical Archives contain over thirty archival collections initiated in 1945 at Union Theological Seminary as a source for the documentation and study of modern ecumenism. Today the WAB Archives include records of national and international ecumenical organizations, research reports from New York City associations of religious communities, and records from ecumenical conferences that have shaped global Christianity, including Protestant and Roman Catholic dialogue.
"We are delighted that the Luce Foundation can play a part in The Burke Library's preservation of these important collections, so that they can be readily accessible to a wider readership," said Michael Gilligan, president of the Henry Luce Foundation. "Although these collections are distinct from our own archives, they are clearly linked to two parts of our history—Henry R. Luce's intention to honor his parents, Presbyterian missionary educators in China; and the foundation's early support for Christian ecumenism."
The Henry Luce Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the development of religious leaders through theological education, and fostering scholarship that links the academy to religious communities and other audiences.
The Burke Library at Union Theological Seminary is world renowned, containing rich collections for theological study and research with holdings of over 700,000 items including unique and special materials. Throughout its long history, the Burke Library has maintained its commitment to the needs of both teaching and research, serving the faculty, students, and staff of Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University, as well as a wide spectrum of national and international scholars and researchers. For more information, please visit: https://library.columbia.edu/locations/burke.html
Columbia University Libraries/Information Services is one of the top five academic research library systems in North America. The collections include over 10 million volumes, over 100,000 journals and serials, as well as extensive electronic resources, manuscripts, rare books, microforms, maps, graphic and audio-visual materials. The services and collections are organized into 22 libraries and various academic technology centers. The Libraries employs more than 550 professional and support staff.

In this Scientific American interview with Pennebaker, he decodes our pronoun usage, offering this quiz to ask who uses the following types of words more: Men or women?
Pennebaker explains the results:
Most people assume that men use I-words and cognitive words more than women and that women use we-words, emotions, and social words more than men. Bad news. You were right if you guessed that women use social words more. However, women use I-words and cognitive words at far higher rates than men. There are no reliable differences between men and women for use of we-words or emotion words (OK, those were trick questions). And men use articles more than women, when you might guess there'd be no difference.He also offers some clues to how pronouns are used by those in power. Leaders tend to use them less--surprised?--but underlings are all about saying "I, me, mine." You can find out more about the messages you're sending with your pronouns in his book, The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us.

I think I'll be there tomorrow night Kogs. We need to start hitting.
Did you watch All Stars Wally? if so what did you think? I was disappointed in the challenges ..they were more brains then brawn. Uchenna & Joyce thought this was done mainly for Charla because of her ummm short comings.
QuoteDid you watch All Stars Wally? if so what did you think? I was disappointed in the challenges ..they were more brains then brawn. Uchenna & Joyce thought this was done mainly for Charla because of her ummm short comings. Yes, I watched the entire season and enjoyed it. I don't think the tasks were super hard but I think they compare pretty favorably with several of the other seasons. I think they inserted some mind challenges that were legitimately tough. I'm sure part of the reason to even out the tasks is the dominance of young, male teams in the race - there are enough other advantages for the most physically fit teams that maybe the thinking is to put a higher importance on the mental aspects. All of the long running between tasks, to detours, etc. (much of which you don't get a sense for by watching) is where the physically dominant teams get much of their advantage.I wasn't very impressed with the end of the race - very contrived to assure a close finish, which I think isn't necessary. Overall, even though I would love to be on an all-star race, I don't think all-stars add much to the show. If the idea is to generate ratings I don't think it does much to accomplish that as the only people who are interested in prior teams would probably be watching anyway. As I've heard talk of getting teams with "known" team members, I think this could maybe get some ratings boost - not that it would be better racing.
I checked my tickets yesterday afternoon and realized that I had tickets for tonight and not last night (the mind is slipping as well as the body) - which worked out well allowing me to miss the rain delay cancellation and watch the Bulls.
the bulls where amazing last night!!!!!

Green building will continue to grow in spite of the global credit crisis and the ongoing economic recession in most countries, according to Jerry Yudelson, principal of Tucson, Ariz.-based green building consulting company, Yudelson Associates.
"What we're seeing is that more people are going green each year, and there is nothing on the horizon that will stop this trend," Yudelson explained. "In putting together my Top Ten trends for 2010, I'm taking advantage of conversations I've had with green building industry leaders in the U.S., Canada, Germany and Australia as I have traveled the world over the past year."
1. Green building will continue to grow more than 60 percent in 2010, using new LEED project registrations as a proxy, on a cumulative basis. "We've seen cumulative growth in new LEED projects over 60 percent per year since 2006, in fact 80 percent in 2009, and there's no sign that the green wave has crested," he said.
2. Green building will benefit from the Obama presidency and the strongly Democratic Congress, with a continued focus on green jobs gained by applying incentives energy efficiency, new green technologies and renewable energy.
3. The focus of the green building industry will continue to switch from new buildings to greening existing buildings. "The fastest growing LEED rating system in 2009 was the LEED for Existing Buildings program, and I expect this trend to continue in 2010," said Yudelson. My 2009 book, Greening Existing Buildings, documents the strategic components of this trend.
4. Awareness of the coming global crisis in fresh water supply will increase, leading building designers and managers to take further steps to reduce water consumption in buildings with more conserving fixtures, rainwater recovery systems and innovative new water technologies.
5. The green building movement will go global, as more countries begin to create their own green building incentives and developing their own Green Building Councils. More than 30 countries, on all continents, will show considerable green building growth in 2010.
6. Solar power use in buildings will accelerate with the prospect of increasing utility focus on state-level renewable power standards for 2015 and 2020. As before, third-party financing partnerships will continue to grow and provide capital for large rooftop systems.
7. Local governments will step up their mandates for green buildings for both themselves and the private sector. We'll see at least 20 major new cities with commercial sector green building mandates. The desire to reduce carbon emissions by going green will lead more government agencies to require green buildings.
8. Zero-net-energy designs for new buildings become increasingly commonplace, in both residential and commercial sectors, as LEED and Energy Star ratings become too common to confer competitive advantage.
9. The retail sector will embrace green building, especially green operations. "More retailers are becoming conscious of the need for both operational green measures and greening the supply chain."
10. European green building technologies will become better known and more widely adopted in the U.S. and Canada.

The man who discovered the skeletal remains of two-year-old Caylee Anthony testified Tuesday in the murder trial of her mother that he tried three times in August 2008 to get the sheriff's department to investigate what appeared to be a child's skull in a wooded area not far from Caylee's home.
Roy Kronk, a county meter reader, said he called the Orange County Sheriff's Office on three consecutive days, but no one from law enforcement went into the swampy woods to investigate.
One deputy, after a cursory look around, even berated him for wasting the department's time with a frivolous report.
Four months later on Dec. 11, 2008, Mr. Kronk said he returned to the same place in the woods near a distinctive log.
He told the jury that he saw a plastic bag. "I held the bag up," Mr. Kronk said. "The contents of the bag shifted and that's when I discovered the skull. It was at my feet."
Kronk's testimony has been highly anticipated among those closely following the Casey Anthony murder trial. In most cases, Kronk would be hailed a hero for helping to bring closure to the grim vigil for the missing toddler. But defense attorneys are hoping to use the unusual circumstances surrounding the discovery of Caylee's remains as a way to suggest reasonable doubt to the jury.
In his fiery opening statement, defense attorney Jose Baez accused Kronk of moving and hiding Caylee's remains.
"We are not saying he had anything to do with her death, but he is a morally bankrupt individual who took her body and hid her," Baez said back at the start of the trail on May 24.
It is unclear why Kronk – or anyone else – would risk the legal consequences of tampering with evidence. Defense lawyers have suggested that he needed money and was hoping to receive a $255,000 reward offered in the nation-wide search for Caylee. But hiding the remains would not boost the reward.
Rather than implicating Kronk in some ill-defined conspiracy, his testimony on Tuesday raises serious questions about the basic competence of investigators with the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Had law enforcement responded to Kronk's first phone call to police on Aug. 11, forensic experts would have had a significantly better chance to lift fingerprints, DNA, or other direct physical evidence from the deteriorating duct tape found near Caylee's skull.
The defense suggests that police conducted thorough searches in the wooded area and were unable to locate Caylee's decomposing body because it had been moved and hidden for a period of time.
Prosecutors maintain it was not detected because the area was underwater for much of the summer due to a tropical storm and heavy rains.
The truth may never be known. Kronk testified that the first time he entered the wooded area on Aug. 11 – less than two months after Caylee is thought to have died – he saw a gray vinyl bag and what looked like it might be a small human skull. He said there was no peculiar odor in the area.
Later that night he called the sheriff's department. "I don't know what it is," he told the dispatcher. "I'm not saying it is Caylee or anything. This could be nothing."
Kronk was asked by Defense Attorney Cheney Mason whether he saw the same grey vinyl bag when he returned to the scene four months later on Dec. 11.
"No," he said.
Kronk said he wasn't sure the skull was real, or even a skull. He said he prodded the object with his meter-reader stick "and tipped it up. I apologize for doing so, but I didn't know what it was."
He added: "I gently pivoted it up."
"It wasn't stuck in the mud, was it?"
"No," Kronk said.
Kronk's testimony was different than the first written statement he gave to police in early 2009. In that statement he said that the bag opened and a small human skull with duct tape and hair dropped out.
"That was my original statement," he acknowledged. He said he "made a mistake" in the statement.
"Did the skull come out in any way," Mr. Mason asked.
"No sir."
"You recognize that you said that under oath before, but now you are saying something else," Mason said.
"That whole period for me is a little fuzzy," Kronk said. "After finding what I found, it kind of unnerved me."
Kronk's testimony came on Day 30 of the first-degree murder trial of Casey Anthony, the Florida mother accused of using chloroform and duct tape to kill her toddler daughter. Prosecutors say she kept the child's body in the trunk of her car for several days before dumping it in the wooded area around the corner from the family home.
Defense lawyers maintain that Caylee accidentally drowned and that her mother, Casey, panicked. Rather than call police, she hid the body with the help of her father.
George Anthony denies any involvement.
In other testimony on Tuesday, the defense team called Mr. Anthony to the stand and confronted him with accusations that he had an extra-marital affair with Krystal Halloway, a former volunteer in the Caylee search effort.
"Did you have a romantic relationship with her," Baez asked.
"No sir," he said. "To me that is very funny."
Baez wasn't done. "Were you ever intimate with her," he asked.
"No sir. That also is very funny."
Mr. Anthony acknowledged going "a few times" to Ms. Halloway's home, but he said his actions were noble. She had told him she was dying of a brain tumor and he said he went to comfort her.
The defense attorney also asked whether Mr. Anthony had ever told Ms. Halloway that Caylee's death was "an accident that snowballed out of control."
"That conversation was never there. I never confided in any volunteers," Mr. Anthony said.
"You never told Krystal Halloway while the two of you were being romantic that this was an accident that snowballed out of control," Baez asked.
"I never did."
On cross-examination, Assistant State Attorney Jeffrey Ashton threw in a zinger question of his own.
"Did you ever tell [Halloway] that while your daughter was home on bond that you grabbed her by the throat, threw her up against a wall, and said 'I know you did something to Caylee, where's Caylee,' " Mr. Ashton asked.
Mr. Anthony responded: "No sir. I'd never do something like that."
The trial is set to resume Wednesday morning.

Lila Rose: "As President Obama campaigns for women voters, one of his top donors and champions, Planned Parenthood, is deceiving millions of American women about the services they provide, their history of abuse cover up, their radical abortion agenda, and just this past July, their unsafe and abusive practices that led to the death of Tonya Reaves, a 24-year-old Chicago woman."
Washington, DC – A new Live Action Advocate undercover investigation catches Planned Parenthood, the nation's biggest abortion business, lying about recent medical emergencies at its abortion clinics and claiming no women have been hurt there.
The Live Action Advocate video released today also reminds the public about the close political ties between President Obama and Planned Parenthood, which receives almost half a billion dollars a year in government money. Just last week, the Obama campaign released a video aimed at women voters featuring Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards.
As President Obama campaigns for women voters, one of his top donors and champions, Planned Parenthood, is deceiving millions of American women about the services they provide, their history of abuse cover up, their radical abortion agenda, and just this past July, their unsafe and abusive practices that led to the death of Tonya Reaves, a 24-year-old Chicago woman."
Live Action investigators called Planned Parenthood abortion clinics with recent cases of medical emergencies and botched abortions in 7 different states asking if Planned Parenthood's abortion practice was safe and if women had ever been hurt at the clinics. Not a single Planned Parenthood abortion clinic acknowledged the recent injuries of women.
See the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSoPys6KybI
When a caller asks Planned Parenthood's Birmingham, AL, abortion clinic if when women get abortions at the clinic, "They're not in danger, they don't get, like, injured?" Planned Parenthood responds, "No ma'am, we don't have any type of procedure where a woman would receive an injury." While the Birmingham Planned Parenthood clinic botched a woman's abortion in 2010 while it was on probation from the Alabama Department of Health.
"Our investigation exposes not only how unsafe Planned Parenthood clinics can be for women, but also how dishonest and untrustworthy Planned Parenthood is to the very women it claims to defend," says Rose. "How shameful that two months after their clinic botched an abortion that took the life of 24-year old Tonya Reaves and her pre-born baby, Planned Parenthood lies to the public and pretends nothing happened. When it comes to the lethal dangers of its billion-dollar abortion business, no lie is too audacious for Planned Parenthood."
"Planned Parenthood continues to engage practices that hurt women and young girls, all while billing themselves as the guardians of women's health," says Rose. "Our investigation proves that Planned Parenthood has little regard for the safety concerns of its 'patients' and continues to lie and mislead the public about the dangers of abortion."
Live Action has exposed numerous and ongoing illegal, unethical and abusive activities by Planned Parenthood, including aiding and abetting child sex trafficking, sex- and race-based abortion, and covering up the sexual abuse of underage girls. Planned Parenthood received close to half a billion dollars in taxpayer money and performed over 329,000 abortions in the last reported year.
