I would like to start a list of sustainable fish. I'm not trying to stir up any political discussion. I would just like an easily referenced list of fish that people could choose off of if they choose. I would also like for answers to include flavor and substitution beyond the info necessary for purchase. I know that this isn't exactly on topic, but it's a resource i think we would be better off by having.
Sustainable would be defined in two ways - Fish that isn't being over-fished or farmed and thus is no danger of extinction, and fish that when farmed doesn't pose a danger to the ocean in which it is farmed. If somebody has a better definition, please feel free to tweak.

Share buybacks back in vogue
Companies are taking advantage of low stock prices and cheap financing to buy back shares.
And why not? As one analyst notes, shares are cheap and financing is cheap. After sitting on piles of cash as the recession hit, companies are finally relenting and spending money on share repurchases. The moves show that companies are generally feeling better about where the economy is headed.
Companies in the U.S. have repurchased about $55 billion in shares since June, Bloomberg reports. That brings this year's total to about $260 billion so far, up from $125 billion in all of 2009.
"Levering a balance sheet is a good idea if you want to expand your company," one asset manager told Bloomberg. "You don't do that unless you feel secure about 2011."
Here are some of the biggest companies buying back shares:
Microsoft (MSFT): The company is reportedly selling debt to buy back shares and fund dividends, Bloomberg reported, and could sell as much as $6 billion in debt without risking its credit rating. Note: Microsoft publishes MSN Money.
PepsiCo (PEP): The company has sold $4.25 billion in bonds this year, Bloomberg calculates. It had postponed share buybacks while in negotiations to buy out two bottlers, but now says buybacks may total $4.4 billion this year.
HP (HPQ): The company had already green-lit $4.9 billion in share repurchases, but its board recently added $10 billion to the plan.
AutoZone (AZO): Share buybacks over the last few quarters have trimmed the number of shares outstanding by 11%, The Wall Street Journal reports. That certainly helps the auto parts giant's earnings per share, which rose to $5.66 for the recent quarter from $4.43 a year earlier.
Tyco International (TYC): The board recently approved the repurchase of as much as $1 billion in stock.

worst article ever
2006-06-04 16:25:14 Alaninportland [View]
I agree. I actually belly laughed and shot milk out my nose after reading it!
This article seemed more like a sophomoric and pathetic cry for attention than an honest literary critique.
Those who feel this strongly about an operating system should seek therapy or, at very least, a different hobby. The Linux vs. Windows vs. OS X vs. whatever OS argument nearly always breaks down into a "I'm smarter than you because I know a given OS" rant; and this is no exception.
I urge you and anyone else to use the OS that you like. Vote for your favorite by using it and leave everyone alone. Lastly, remember, the operating system you use isn't indicative of how smart or l33+ you are. I and many of my colleagues run many different OSs and we view them as tools for getting things done. I assume that if author were to spend more time doing things with his OS rather than writing about petty annoyances I'm sure he would lose less sleep at night.
At any rate, I'm surprised this slipped by O'Reilly. It must have been a slow news day. An article about the virtues of GLX would have been a far more interesting and fruitful read.
worst article ever
2006-06-05 11:30:44 sharumpe [View]
I don't agree that it was "...a sophomoric and pathetic cry for attention".
I personally prefer the Mac OS to Linux as a desktop OS (yes, I've used Linux as a desktop once or twice) but I found the arguments in the article to be well-reasoned, if somewhat limited to the author's particular preferences.
Nowhere in the article did the author state that Macs and their users are dumb|useless|idiotic because of some feature (or lack of it). On the contrary, I thought that maybe there was a bit too much of the "for me, this is true" caveat in there.
My only criticism of the article is that perhaps it is a bit out-of-date. The critiques of Mac OS X are from an OLD version (10.2), so I found myself constantly wondering if the author would have found more|fewer problems with the current version or hardware.
My only suggestion to the author is to upgrade to an Intel-based Mac. Then you don't have to use a PPC version of Linux. ;)
Newer Versions of Mac OS X
2006-06-05 12:47:52 chromatic | [View]
It's an interesting question how an upgrade would have worked for me. Certainly Mac OS X has improved since 10.2 -- I've used it a bit on the computers of friends and I've heard that some of my frustrations have gone away.
I don't know how the hardware support would work though. I am fortunate that there is good Linux support for my model of PowerBook. Later PowerBooks seem less so, just by browsing Linux hardware support forums.
I expect to know better how the MacBooks work out with Linux soon. It seems to take six months to get new hardware to the point of usable support, at least for what I need to do.

All I can say is that I've got no quibbles with any of the issues chromatic raises, running a OS X 10.4.6 on a MacBook Pro. I'd toss in a few other bits, among them the inherent limitations in not having independent window management. On OS X as with Windows, busy (or hung) applications' windows can't be managed.
Another is that there are a number of assumptions which become visibly apparent in the Mac visual desktop metaphor which start to fail badly when they're stretched. Most notably are the "infinite hight" menu and distinctions between app and window cycling. You can cycle through apps, or through windows in an app, but not readily through all windows on your desktop, and particularly not through windows on seperate workspaces (as managed by Virtue). There are a few bolt-ons here (eg: Virtue) which I've tried, others which fail notably.
There's a significant list of other gripes I may post later, but suffice it to say:
- OS X is a significant win over Microsoft's products (though it's ironic that I've got a more Linux-like userland through Cygwin than I have under Darwin / Fink / Darwin Ports).
- OS X is probably plenty good for a large class of users.
- OS X isn't Linux, and exhibits numerous shortcomings relative to Linux, which a significant number of technical users may note.
- A large part of this boils down to the inherent freedom of the system. Linux is open in ways which OS X isn't and likely never will be. I've built a career for myself in technology by steering away from encroaching walls, and I'm seeing them when I'm on a Mac. I prefer open skies.
I'd say chromatic's nailed the issue very, very well. It's also interesting to note that his comparison point is Debian (my own Linux distro of choice), though I suspect Gentoo and/or Ubuntu/Kubuntu (and related) users might feel very similarly.
It would be interesting to know the distros used by folks who've been nonplussed by Linux in the past.

I forgot independent window management. Reading your comment brought back how much it annoyed me. (Okay, using the help system in iMovie and waiting on the little spinner again on my mother's iBook annoyed me yesterday too, so it's a fresh gripe!)

Reserving any conjecture about whatever personal insecurities this article must have triggered, I find your attack rather unfounded. As someone who used OS X for the majority of 2001 through mid 2005, I concur with all the author's issues. That doesn't mean I think any less of my wife or friends who still use OS X, and the author explicitly states that he doesn't either.

Profesionalsim in the workplace HW #4
Professors were required to take a ethics test and even tho they may have received perfect scores on the test, received failing grades because they completed the exam too fast. The argument is that not enough thought was put into taking the exam by people like Marvin Zeman who completed the 80 question test in 6 minutes. Zeman said that he had taken the test before and much of the material was the same as in previous exams. One could also wounder if completing the test with such speed shows that they are so ethical that they were able to pick out the correct answer fast and without doubt. Another point that can be made is that people can write one thing on a test and practice another. Perhaps lectures on ethics followed by ethical exams would be more effective.

Julia Francis Gillikin grave
I tried to send an e-mail to you but got an error message. I submitted the names of my maternal grandma children (8) on the public site which should be forwarded to you for editing. I didn't see a way I could add their names to the site. Their oldest child was my mama Naomi. She married Carl Lawrence of Otway, N.C. & both are now buried near mama's parents Bryant Rumley & Julia Francis Gillikin-Gillikin in Gethsemane in Morehead City, N.C. I am curious how you were able to submit this information. I don't recognize your name as a family name. Would appreciate a reply. email@example.com

Thank you for notifying me of my errors. I apologize for taking so long to see this. My computer with my links & logins to this site crashed a few years back & I am just now able to get back to my genealogy records. My photos of graves were with my mother who had mixed up the ones from Beaver Dam with the Red Hill & Gillisonville Cemetery pictures. Please check behind me & see if I corrected everything that I had mixed up. Again, I apologize and hope this is all correct now.

12 things you probably didn't know about the Social Network
1. Justin Timberlake lost 15-17 pounds for his role as Sean Parker. He thought looking thinner would make him look younger.
2. In an interview with Diane Sawyer, Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Jesse Eisenberg's cousin, Eric Fisher, worked at Facebook.
3. In preparation for his role as Mark Zuckerberg, Jesse Eisenberg registered with Facebook two weeks before he began work on the movie. When the production wrapped, he canceled his account.
4. Every shirt and fleece that Jesse Eisenberg wears in the film is something that the real Mark Zuckerberg has worn.
5. After casting, David Fincher forbade principal actors from meeting their real-life counterparts until filming was completed. Justin Timberlake was the only actor who met his real-life counterpart, Sean Parker, during filming.
6. The original banner at the top of Facebook.com included a stylized portrait of a young Al Pacino. It was designed by Andrew McCollum, a friend of Mark Zuckerberg. The banner used on the website in the film uses a portrait of Jesse Eisenberg.
7. The Social Network is the first PG-13 rated film to feature two separate, unrepeated instances of the word fuck.
8. Natalie Portman, a Harvard student during the time of Facebook's creation, gave writer Aaron Sorkin some insider information about how things really happened on campus. Sorkin thanked her by referencing her in a scene.
9. The opening breakup scene with Jesse Eisenberg and Rooney Mara took 99 takes.
10. In a scene where Mark Zuckerberg is taking art images from a Facebook profile to fulfill an Art History class requirement, the Facebook profile he is viewing is that of Tyler Durden, a character from another film directed by David Fincher, Fight Club.
11. Mark Zuckerberg originally planned on never seeing the movie.
12. Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield became good friends during filming. According to Eisenberg, the dramatic rivalry between their characters was hard for the two because it affected them emotionally.

UNDATED (WSAU) - Wednesday's heavy snowfall is prompting some officials to declare a Snow Emergency. The municipalities have their individual guidelines, but almost always include no parking on public streets or parking lots during a period of time to allow for safe and efficient snow removal.
Here is the list so far for Wednesday, January 30th and Thursday, January 31st:
WISCONSIN RAPIDS:The Snow Emergency will be in effect starting Wednesday January 30, 2013 at 11:00 PM until Thursday January 31, 2013 12:00 PM. Vehicles parked on city streets will be ticked and towed at owner's expense. All odd/even parking is suspended during the Snow Emergency.
PORTAGE COUNTY TOWING BAN: Effective January 30, 2013, at 7:00 pm, the temporary towing ban on all roads in the county is over.
Vehicles that became stuck or disabled, and were not an immediate traffic hazard, were ordered to be left where they were from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for safety concerns.
WSAU will update the list as additional declarations are issued.
If you are searching for specific school and community event cancellations, please check the Cancellations list here on WSAU.com.

Taking the time to look at a computer in a live manner will allow you to discover things that may not be discovered by looking at an image of a dead box. One way to do this, would be clone the original drive and place it back into the computer. Another, would be to convert your forensic image into a virtual hard disk and then run it in a Virtual Machine (VM). But did you know that you can go straight from a write blocked drive to a VM?
You have just received an image of a dual-boot. You add the image to your preferred forensic suite only to discover that the linux partition of the image is not being recognized. You immediately wonder.. "I know so and so can read extended 4! The other volume is not encrypted! What's going on?"
I was recently given the opportunity to attend an advanced mobile forensics course taught by Joe Church from Digital Shield. As part of the rite of passage certification process, Joe handed us an image of an infected Android device and challenged us to find the malware.
While examining an image of a Windows 7 computer, I struggled to find specific files that I knew at one point resided on the computer. After hours of searching through both the allocated and unallocated area, I found the files in question on the shadow volumes.
Recently while examining an image of a computer, I came across the need to determine if the image contained a set of specific files. For me those specific files were a series of pictures. I was faced with two options, I can either manually go through all of the folders to search for the pictures, or I can search for those specific pictures using some sort of automated way. I chose the automated way.
Whether you need to make a forensic copy of an evidence drive for analysis, or restore a drive to look at the computer in a live manner, at one point or another you are probably going to find yourself needing to clone a drive. Cloning a drive differs from imaging, in which cloning uses a target drive to make an exact duplicate of the original drive.
The master file table (MFT) is a database that contains information about all files on an NTFS file system. Among other things, the MFT tracks times, size, name, and location of every file including itself. It stores this information in entries, appropriately named MFT entries. Each MFT entry gets assigned its own record number.
While examining the contents of an external hard drive in a recent case, I came across the need to recover videos from the unallocated area of the drive. Interestingly enough, the videos in question were in the form of ISO images. When my preferred commercial carving tool didn't offer an option to carve for ISO's, PhotoRec did.
The Windows registry is used by the operating system to store information about its configuration, users, applications and much more. It is an excellent source of evidence for the forensic examiner.
Reconstructing and examining web browsing history is a task that is required during most forensic examinations. Luckily, popular commercial tools have done a good job of simplifying the reconstruction process for us. While commercial tools simplify the process, the software often comes with a hefty price tag.

Balloon Fiesta has officially wrapped up, but that does not mean the work is done for the people who keep things running out at the park.
The gears of that well-oiled machine are still cranking for a few more days as everything gets torn down, and that includes the gatekeeper for the vendors, Gabby Anspach.
She told KOB Eyewitness News 4 about how she got started with Balloon Fiesta.
She has been out there for almost a decade.
"I stopped in that very day and I went on a balloon ride and getting this job all in the same day and have been here ever since...just could not resist," Anspach said.
For a lot of people, the Balloon Fiesta would not be the same without her.
"We do the high five every time we come in or out with her," vendor Orin Gaul said. "She's great, she's going to be there every year!"
Anspach says she would be out there even if she was not working.

The Envelope Please!
AnnaLisa is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Oscars are upon us and I'm getting ready for my favorite party and the best drinking game ever, downing a slug every time Oscar winners thank their mother. So Deutsche Bank's equity strategy team and analyst David Bianco have kindly come up with a list of talented nominees for their list of favorite stocks for 2013. Their criteria was large cap, over $10 billion, 2013 EPS growth greater than 5%, a P/E of 18 or below, and net debt/market cap ratio less than 30% (ex-financials).
But folks, they're all winners and it's an honor to be nominated, right? Naah. We all know only five categories matter in the Oscars, so let's whittle this down to the best five by tweaking the filter to a 17.5 P/E or less, yield of 2% or higher, EPS growth rate for 5 years greater than 7%, and dividend earnings growth of better than 4% over five years.
Using that criteria it comes down to these five stocks and three of them are Dividend Aristocrats having raised dividends for 25 years or more. Even better, it ends up being diversified as well.
The Envelope Please
And the outperformers are: Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), McDonald's (NYSE: MCD), Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW), US Bancorp (NYSE: USB) , and Air Products & Chemicals (NYSE: APD). Of these the three Dividend Aristocrats are McDonald's, Illinois Tool Works, and Air Products & Chemicals.
Would the statuesque beauties please escort these winners to the stage? Who are these Amazons, anyway? Don't forget to thank your sainted mothers. Time for a slug. In much less time than an acceptance speech here's why they won (with titles from former Oscar winners and nominees.)
Up In The Air
Air Products & Chemicals, the specialty gases company, has been increasing dividends for 29 years. The Allentown, PA based company has a 16.16 P/E and a 2.90% yield. Air Products reported Q1 earnings on January 23 and raised guidance. CEO John McGlade sums up, from the news release,"Globally, economic growth underperformed our expectations for the quarter. We delivered higher volumes in Tonnage Gases, and Equipment and Energy. However, both Merchant Gases and Electronics volumes declined. Our operating performance was encouraging and we are seeing improvements from our cost and restructuring actions." The company also repurchased 5.71 million shares in Q1. FY 2012 saw just shy of $10 billion in sales.
Adam's McRib
The Academy is lovin' it. A cameo performance by the McRib and the supporting performance of the Dollar Menu helped raise McDonald's Q4 profits and offset weakness in Europe and Chinese chicken troubles. Coming soon to restaurants near you are Fish McBites also announced on the call.
McDonald's has now raised the dividend for 35 years and it stands at 3.30%. McDonald's almost didn't make the cut with its 17.50 P/E. But with 2013 EPS growth of 9% plus and being a Dividend Aristocrat McDonald's was a People's Choice with 69 million people served each day.
On the call CEO Don Thompson emphasized rest of world would also see localized menu offerings like lamb sandwiches in Australia and the Casse Croute sandwich in France. He stated initiatives like these should help drive traffic in Europe and other countries.
The Trip To Bountiful
The third Dividend Aristocrat is Illinois Tool Works, having raised dividends for 48 years for a current 2.40% yield and a 9.5% five year dividend growth rate. Bountiful, indeed! Sporting a lovely 13.09 P/E on the red carpet it also has a 10% plus EPS growth rate for 2013 and a 10% net debt/market cap ratio of plus 10%.
While Fellow Fool Nicole Seghetti points out that Illinois Tool Works has seen some decline in their construction and transportation segments it's also a diversified industrial, a triple threat if you will, with other talents in Power Systems & Electronics, Industrial Packaging, and Polymers & Fluids. The company has low corporate governance risks in all categories and is just the kind of solid talent the Academy loves. Maybe it should get a Lifetime Achievement award. As the economy slowly recovers so should construction and transportation. Illinois Tool Works reports January 29.
Hello (Not Goodbye) Mr. Chips
Intel is the only tech that made the more stringent cut with a 9.45 P/E and a surprisingly high yield of 4.30% with 12.94% five year dividend growth. The global chipmaker also has a 9.6% five year EPS growth rate.
Deutsche Bank gives it a $28 price target for almost 40% upside. Intel is only 10% up from its 52 week low of $19.53 and with a recent move into the cloud in a collaboration with Dell, it seems the company is shrugging off its PC shroud. Don't count out Intel picking up mobile market share from rival ARM Holdings and possibly, Qualcomm.
Million Dollar Baby
Last, but not least, is US Bancorp with a 2.40% yield and an 11.63 P/E with 7.80% EPS growth. The Minneapolis financial services company has $350 billion in assets. Deutsche Bank gives it a $38 price target for 15% upside.
It's not a limelight hog like Citigroup or Bank of America and is content to learn its lines, hit its marks, and go home. It reported Q4 earnings on January 16 with net income improving by 15.9% compared to the year ago quarter. Nothing showy and CEO Richard Davis commented on the call that with CCAR results in March the company has already applied for dividend raises and share buybacks.
Warren Buffett likes US Bancorp as well with a $2 billion stake. Fool John Maxfield has a little more color on the non interest income at US Bancorp and how it and Wells Fargo have successfully hedged interest rate sensitive operations.
Thanks Mom
Uh-oh. The orchestra is playing me off the stage. Any or all of these are good names for a long-term portfolio. Since McDonald's, Air Products, US Bancorp, and Intel have all recently reported it's easier to get in the names now with some clarity and time until the next release. Intel is my least favorite of these names but they're all winners. Take a bow and thank mom while you and I have a nip.

well hoping if they release a 64GB ver? the 64GB will move to the $299.00 spot and then the 32GB=$199.00 and the 8GB=$99.00. that would be a good pricing tier :P
iPhone 5 64GB = $299.99
iPhone 5 32GB = $199.99
iPhone 5 16GB = $99.99
iPhone 4S 8GB = $49.99
That's how you go low!
I love my white i4, but I will ditch it for a white 64 GB i5.
German Website Makes Own Physical iPhone 5 Mockup
What apple will do to the exterior design of the iPhone 5 is a real mystery but tbh the brick like shape give it its own definition. It wont really matter to me what it looks like, unless they COMPLETELY redesign it. As for the functions, i hope it has a HD front face camera. Also i think it would be better if they kept the casual screen size. It would be awesome if they put some sort of backward compatibility in the new iPhone so it would work with most of the cydia apps.

(Seattle, WA) – Seattle United, the Advanced Development Program of the Seattle Youth Soccer Association, is pleased to announce that they have signed an agreement to be an official partner club of the West Ham United International Academy (WHUIA). As a partner club, Seattle United will host a West Ham Academy Player Identification Camp in July, will be able to take advantage of the Academy's player development philosophies and coaching curriculum and, perhaps most excitingly, will have the unique opportunity to send teams, players and coaches to London to train at the world famous West Ham Academy. Seattle United feels very strongly that this partnership will be an extension of their commitment to player development.
The first opportunity for Seattle United players to experience the West Ham training methods will be at the West Ham Academy Player Identification Camp, held July 8-10 at Roosevelt High School in Seattle. This ID Camp, for both boys and girls at all age groups, will serve not only as an elite level training opportunity, but players that excel at this camp will be invited to attend the West Ham Academy National Residential camp later in the summer. Players excelling at the National Camp will be invited to train alongside West Ham Academy players in London.
The West Ham Academy, or "The Academy of Football" as it is also known, is located in London and is one of the most highly regarded youth academies in the world. The Academy is an important part of the club's identity and a regular source of players for the first team. Past notable graduates of the Academy include: Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst, Frank Lampard Sr, Harry Redknapp, Sir Trevor Booking and Paul Ince. More recent graduates include: Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard Jr, Joe Cole, Michael Carrick, Jermaine Defoe and Glen Johnson, among others. An ITV Football article stated that "the biggest single contributor to the England national squad is not Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea, but the West Ham Youth Academy."
Tony Carr MBE, Academy Manager, West Ham United FC: "We look forward to working with the coaches and players of Seattle United as one of our USA partner clubs of the West Ham United Academy. We understand Seattle is currently a hotbed for youth football and we look forward to playing a part in the development of the game there via this partnership." (Tony Carr is one of the most influential figures in English football. It is not just that seven of the England squad that travelled to the 2010 FIFA World Cup have come under his guidance – Glen Johnson, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole and Jermaine Defoe – but because he is committed to the grassroots of the game. For four decades he has given back to the sport after seeing his own playing dreams dashed by injury and he has created an outstanding legacy.)
Seattle United Director of Coaching Jimmy McAlister: "I am thrilled to have a relationship with such a prestigious and world famous youth academy. The West Ham Academy has always had a reputation for producing world class players. Seattle United players and coaches have a tremendous opportunity to learn from the best. I truly hope this relationship will grow over the years."
Technical Director Jason Farrell: "We have had the opportunity over the last couple years to explore partnerships with other international clubs. However, we wanted to make sure that we chose a partnership that had serious teeth to it…that it benefitted each of our players, no matter the age, gender or level, as well as benefitting our staff. Partnering with West Ham, and its rich tradition of player development, achieves that. At the same time, it was important for us to keep our Seattle United identity, our brand and our autonomy as a youth soccer club. Having a current EPL club as a partner is wonderful but having one of the top academies in the world as a partner is what makes this so exciting and valuable to all of our players and coaches."
Along with the Player ID Camp, Seattle United players and families will benefit from this partnership in many ways:

Washington » Sen. Orrin Hatch swam quickly to the right to avoid being crushed by the tea party wave and since his 2012 re-election — his last, he says — he's ridden the currents back toward the middle.
Opponents and supporters alike say the old deal-making, pragmatic Hatch has returned.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
As evidence, they point to the Utah Republican's vote in favor of the Senate's immigration bill, his ongoing bipartisan negotiations on tax reform and his willingness to support President Barack Obama's nominees in a compromise to protect the filibuster.
"This is the real Orrin Hatch," said Jim Dabakis, chairman of the Utah Democratic Party. "There is not an ounce of flaming liberal in him. There just isn't. But this is a man who is respected and listened to and he does his job in a fair way — except for the times he got off the reservation here because of that election."
Hatch watched as tea party Republicans in 2009 and early 2010 vilified former Sen. Bob Bennett as a big spender for his vote to bail out Wall Street and for his skill at securing funding for pet projects at home. They brought down Bennett, beating him at the state Republican convention, and eventually helped elect Sen. Mike Lee, who has gone on to become one of the most visible leaders of the tea party movement.
Those activists then turned their attention to Hatch, who, like Bennett, supported the bailout and fought for earmarked funding.
Political courtship » Almost instantly, Utah's longest-serving senator began courting these emboldened conservatives, who had no qualms challenging Republicans they found to be too moderate.
Hatch cozied up to David Kirkham, a specialty carmaker who funded many of the state's tea party gatherings and was seen as an influential voice in the movement. Kirkham eventually rebuffed Hatch and supported his GOP challenger, former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist.
Like Dabakis, Kirkham says Hatch swung to the right for the election and then back again since, but he doesn't criticize him for it.
"Do I wish he was a little more conservative? Of course, but certainly I'm not going to fault him," said Kirkham, who still talks to the senator regularly. "I think Senator Hatch's approach has always been one of compromise, and I don't mean that in a bad way."
Three prominent congressional scorecards showed how Hatch shifted to the right. The American Conservative Union gave him a rating of 76 in 2007 but he got a top score of 100 in 2010 and 2011. His rating by the National Taxpayers Union jumped from 57 to 99 and the Club for Growth saw him go from a 53 to a 97.
Abandoned causes » During this period, he walked away from the Dream Act, a bill that would give citizenship to certain children of undocumented immigrants, though he was an original sponsor. He has since embraced it again. He also voted against reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act and the Children's Health Insurance Program, legislation he has previously championed.
Even his colleagues at the time took notice. Former Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., who now runs the conservative Heritage Foundation, said in 2011 that Sen. Mike Lee was the only senator with "two votes."
"Every time he votes one way, Orrin's going to vote the same way," he said, though later he apologized to Hatch for the remark.
Hatch and Lee have their policy disagreements and that gap appears to be widening after last year's campaign. Hatch is more comfortable with the Patriot Act and the aggressive intelligence programs created since Sept. 11, while Lee worries they may violate the Constitution.
Hatch is more likely to vote for budget bills or a nominee of the Democratic president. And, this year, Hatch was among the Senate Republicans who worked on a comprehensive immigration-reform bill, which Lee flatly opposed.
An analysis of their voting records showed Hatch has disagreed with his home state colleague more frequently since securing the GOP nomination in June 2012. Before the primary election, Hatch sided against Lee on just 16.8 percent of votes. Since the primary, the opposing vote tally has jumped to 25.7 percent.
Steady as she goes » Hatch previously denied that he was voting more often with the far right leading up to his election and he denies now that he's shifted back into the Republican mainstream.Next Page >

Request Strategies by Second Language Learners of English: Pre- and Post-head Act Strategies
This study investigates the speech act of request by Saudi high- and low-level learners of Australian English. All participants were asked to take part in three different role plays, which varied according to the relative power relationship between the informant and the conductor. We found that high-level learners did not considerably differ from low-level learners in terms of pre- and post-head act strategies, and request strategies; thereby indicating that proficiency level does not have a significant impact on L2 learners' choice of pre- and post-head act strategies and request strategies. However, both groups of learners deviated from Australian English native speakers in terms of post-head act and request strategies. In light of the social variable (power) influence, it was found that power affected both groups of learners, along with the native speaking group, in terms of pre- and post-head act strategies. However, power did not have an impact on the SLL group, while it did have an effect on the high-level group, along with the native speaking group, in terms of request strategies. Thus, there is no apparent correlation between the social variable (power) and L2 learners' use of pre- and post-head act strategies, while power positively correlates with L2 learners' proficiency level regarding their use of request strategies.

February 25, 2013, 10:53 AM — Data is more important to businesses today than it has ever been, doing everything from revealing trends in customer behavior to comparing sales performance across business units and regions. Comprehensive data collection provides the who, what, when and how associated with almost all organizational activity. This information is incredibly valuable to executives because it plays a critical role in strategic business decisions. As such, all businesses - big and small - must have a data backup strategy in place to protect against data loss.
The 2012 CDW Data Loss Straw Poll found that IT professionals rank data loss as their No.1 cybersecurity threat. Losing critical data is undoubtedly a serious problem for organizations of all sizes. In 2011, data loss incidents cost companies $194 per record breached, and the average cost per company that reported a breach was $5.5 million, according to a Ponemon Institute report. Beyond the hard costs, there is the resulting impact on business continuity to consider - decreased competitive advantage, litigation and damage to an organization's reputation are all potential fallouts from data loss.
The first step toward protection is acknowledging that data loss is a real possibility. As Murphy's Law tells us, anything that can go wrong probably will, and most organizations are likely to experience data loss at some point. Regardless of how vigorous an organization's security policies are, data loss is still a very real threat and should always be treated as a priority. The next step in protecting organizational data is choosing a backup strategy.
[ALSO: Danger, danger, the cloud will eat your data]
There are several approaches to data backup. Local device backup on an external hard drive avoids third-party controls but requires manual backups. Data storage vendors offer various options to serve individual backup needs, but increased customization can often translate to increased costs. Cloud-based backup uses third party providers to secure data at an off-site location, and adoption of this method is increasing.
The comprehensive backup strategy
While an organization's specific needs will dictate the appropriate solution it chooses, a comprehensive backup strategy should include the following elements: backup software, backup systems, data deduplication, a data archiving plan and a disaster recovery plan:

......it makes it look like it's a DJ page i feel as though it doesn't go with Model Mayhem
Your right it does..
I think it should be a model posing or modeling.
This looks like club flyer..
The model isn't different. Mosh was the model in the other banner as well.
Much love.
I agree, lots of time and effort when the choice was likely already made.
Why stay so similar? Clearly the folks who run MM have no interest in changing much of anything. Banner, SOP, documentation, etc. This "contest" was an interesting exercise in public relations. Make the masses feel like they are somehow involved in the future of the site, then do what the crew wanted all along. Cross the t's, dot the i's so that the contest is "legitimate" then pick MM banner v 1.000001 instead of v 2.0
Uhhhh... the font is the same.
They're not going to change the font because it's being used on merchandise. I've always wondered if the website owners ever got permission to use the font for this purpose... LOL!
+ 1
No, Mosh was not featured in the previous banner. Her name is Laurel, and I don't believe she ever had a Model Mayhem account.
Other than for holidays and other special occasions, are there any plans to rotate the banner more frequently?
Let's be fair, it said Bye Bye GREEN couch. This couch is blueish gray. TOTALLY original !
No, there are no such plans.

If this list of Jimmy Fallon's best "classroom instrument" performances doesn't cheer you up I don't know what to tell you.
Here are some resources to help parents and caregivers speak with children about today's events. (PDF): http://www.sesameworkshop.org/assets/1192/src/HereForEachOther_vEng2012Modified.pdf
Sesame Street is introducing a new character named Lily (top left) to deal with issues of poverty and hunger.
This isn't the first time the Street's used a new character to tackle a sensitive subject. Aristotle (top right) was a blind Muppet who displayed his impressive sandwich-making skills back in 1982. Kami (bottom left) was an HIV-positive Muppet first appeared in 2002, who at one point discussed the subject with Bill Clinton. And Mahboub (bottom right) was an Arab Muppet introduced to the Jewish version of the show that was broadcast in Israel in 2006.
Bert and Ernie just friends? Really?
Sesame Street issued this statement on its Facebook page today, in response to a petition calling for the longtime friends to marry.
Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.
Bert could not be reached for comment.
What about Ernie?
The sexuality of Bert and Ernie — perhaps the kid show's most popular characters — has long been debated since the roommates sleep in the same room and constantly bicker.
An online petition to encourage Bert and Ernie to get married is gaining steam. Also, marriage = sleeping in the same room and constant bickering.

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Between 1960 and 2012 the share of Canadians in the U.S. foreign-born population declined from 10 to 2 percent, while the actual number of Canadian immigrants has remained remarkably steady. Using the most up-to-date statistics, this profile examines the Canadian immigrant population by size, age, location, college education, and more.
Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.

MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the Scheduled Departure program, special visas for Iraqi nationals, hospital "deportations," and more.
This report provides an estimate of the taxes paid by immigrants in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, which encompasses the federal district and portions of Maryland and Virginia. It compares the tax payments of immigrant households with the contributions of native households between 1999 and 2000.
This report provides a background for policy discussion on high-skilled immigration to the United States by presenting an occupational profile of foreign-born professionals and highlighting their contributions to the U.S. economy.
New immigration legislation must include changes to achieve effective and resolute enforcement of the immigration laws. Because border and workplace enforcement have been addressed elsewhere, this policy brief offers suggestions for other key enforcement improvements that Congress should implement.
Debates on immigration policy often discuss calibrating immigration levels to meet the labor needs of the nation's economy. Indeed, it is clear that immigration strongly affects U.S. labor markets – over the past thirty years, foreign-born workers have grown to record numbers.
This report investigates the demographic characteristics and experiences of American retirees abroad through a focused study of two countries—Mexico and Panama—that have exhibited dramatic growth in the population of United States-born seniors in recent years. Findings on the decision-making process of emigrant retirees, their integration experiences, and their impact on local communities are drawn from an analysis of 17 interviews and nine focus group discussions.
En años recientes, un flujo de estadounidenses que aumenta continuamente se ha estado dirigiendo a América Latina, especialmente para su jubilación. A medida de que la generación del "baby boom" envejece, se espera que ese flujo gane velocidad.
This report examines how counterterrorism strategy relates to border security and immigration reform, and how terrorist mobility should be countered. The author argues that terrorist mobility comprises a set of problems distinct from the challenges of managing large-scale global migration.
This report examines the connections between the United States' temporary and permanent systems of admission to the United States. It describes the goals and structure of each system, discusses the relationship between immigrant and nonimmigrant admission flows, and describes the critical data gaps that impede understanding of the underlying realities of immigration to the United States.

Obama's legacy hangs on economy
President Obama has a problem. When it was announced last week that the nation's economy had actually shrunk in the fourth quarter of 2012 (GDP decreased by 0.1 percent), it undermined the essence of the president's long-standing economic message, which, broadly, has gone as follows: After inheriting a catastrophic situation, I have begun to right the ship. The recovery has not been spectacular, and what progress has been made has been hard-won, but it has nonetheless been consistent. Critics of the president's economic performance (in whose ranks we are often counted), can occasionally be overblown in their judgments. We'll concede, for instance, that Obama did inherit a miserable economic landscape upon assuming office, even if the excuse since has become shopworn. That factor, however, should not add a handicap to his score. A president who goes out of his way to cultivate comparisons to predecessors like Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt can't plausibly blame his failures on being overmatched by circumstances. In fact, we lay much of the blame precisely on the towering ambition that causes Obama to seek such historical parallels. If there has been one consistent theme of this administration, it has been its desire to reshape American institutions along progressive lines. Obama, of course, is entitled to pursue this vision for the nation. As he is fond of reminding us, he won -- and that has consequences. Despite the fact that the issue is currently at the forefront of the American mind, for example, the president only dedicated a single line of his inaugural address to the topic. That line: "economic recovery has begun." That kind of rhetorical whispering isn't going to cut it anymore. No president who fails to address the consuming issue of his era can plausibly aspire to historical greatness. For that reason, Obama's legacy hangs very much in the balance.

'Goosebumps' for St. Philip Choir in England
Atlanta's Cathedral of St. Philip Choir has had a moving — in more ways than one — end to summer.
The singers are lifting their voices in 15 choral services over two weeks in England: 44 performed Aug. 5-11 at St. Paul's Cathedral in London; and then 35 are doing the honors Aug. 12-18 at Canterbury Cathedral in Kent. Somewhere in there, it's managing two days off to exercise legs (as tourists) and rest vocal chords.
Atlantans can catch up with the group on the St. Philip website, where it has been posting blog reports (and some photos) from its "pilgrimage":
Early in the trip, Canon for Music Dale Adelmanncq noted that it was "unusual and sobering" to find at least 500 people listen in on the choir's daily rehearsal in the St. Paul's Quire, then to have many of them decide to stay for Evensong.
"These visitors, each of them pilgrims in their own ways, literally come from all over the world, and it is our privilege and thrill not merely to share our singing with them, but to realize that many, indeed, probably most of them, come from countries where there are no choirs that sing and worship as we do," Adelmann wrote on the trip's third day.
Later in the first week, decani alto Marion Hopkins posted, "Someone asked me this week if I was nervous about singing in this iconic landmark. I feel too well prepared for that, but the experience has been an emotional one. The music has given me goosebumps; some prayers have made me cry; the art and architecture have filled me with wonder, the memorials, with gratitude and admiration; and the fellowship with my fellow choir members and supporters is heart-warming. All of it good for the soul."
L.A. public TV gives admiring look at BeltLine
Atlanta BeltLine was favorably featured recently on the "City Walk" series of the Southern California public television station KCET. Burbank-based KCETLink is carried nationally via satellite on DirecTV and DISH, but Atlantans can catch up to show online at www.kcet.org/shows/citywalk. The 10-minute BeltLine report airs after segments on walking in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.
