The White House's recent policy reversals amount to a stunning repudiation of the first seven years of George W. Bush's presidency. Where allies were previously disrespected, now they're viewed as essential. Where diplomacy was eschewed, now it's pursued with vigor. No longer running the government from his "base," Bush finally tries to lead the entire nation.
His political opponents detect weakness and regret and a last-ditch attempt to salvage legacy, while supporters point to a self-professed "dissident" leader extending a "freedom" agenda in his final months. Both perspectives hold much truth.
But as someone who's worked extensively throughout the national-security community across this administration, both inside and outside government, I am struck by how the world seems to be returning to its pre-9/11 correlation of forces, like a cosmic clock being reset. It's almost as if the sum total effect of the second Bush term will be to repair the damage caused by the first.
They say time heals all wounds. It similarly muddles all doctrines.
When Bush entered office, transnational terrorism seemed dangerous but manageable — an "over there" challenge. Fast forward to 2008 and tell me what's different, other than your approach to air travel. Yes, we now know that a 9/11 is eminently possible and we're keenly aware of its likely engineers and where they reside. When they pull off the next one, probably in Europe, we'll collectively head to roughly the same spot to roust them out again.
Meanwhile, we'll make reasonable efforts to bolster networks, both here and there, but the world must go on. Terrorists monopolized America's attention for a while but nowhere else, either because other regions were used to such travails or because bigger things were happening.
At the beginning of 2001 we sensed that the Middle East was broken, with little chance of peace. Iraq and Iran were clearly dangerous, but both were considered manageable through a mix of economic and military efforts. No doubt we have far many more boots on the ground today, and our sacrifice in blood and treasure is alarmingly large, but back then the Persian Gulf was seen as something primarily left to the U.S. military to handle, and so it is again today.
Bush's pre-emptive war became Gen. David Petraeus' counterinsurgency becomes Central Command's enduring challenge, along with Afghanistan and — suddenly –Pakistan. If, in 2001, I described a Pentagon dreaming of brilliant, high-tech war with "rising China" but operationally engrossed by a messy, unstable, low-tech security landscape, today you'd find all the same bureaucratic tensions, exponentially expanded and increasingly fueled by a young generation of ground officers bristling for institutional reform.
The Bush administration entered office complaining that scant attention was being paid to the "big pieces" of international security, like Russia, China, Europe and India. Then 9/11, triggering a fit of unilateralist pique, pushed all those great-power concerns aside as we targeted failed states and rogue regimes.
Fast forward to 2008 and we're back to focusing on how those "big pieces" help us manage the little ones. It turns out that you'd better ask the neighbors before you start "draining the swamp."
But no, this whole journey wasn't merely the result of Bush's mis-education at the hands of his now-discredited foreign-policy "Vulcans." In certain instances, like global warming, the mountain came to Mohammad. If, in 2001, the smart money said the Kyoto treaty was doomed because it excluded booming China and India, today's conventional wisdom admits the same. Thus we now search for more sensibly comprehensive and sustainable strategies for dealing with this global issue.
Is it enough, in the end, for Bush's second administration to repair — for the most part — the damage to America's global standing created by his first?
Yes and no.
The reason I supported John Kerry in 2004 was because I felt the Bush team, while being more than up to the necessary task of resetting the rules in the wake of 9/11, was distinctly incapable of subsequently gaining much buy-in from the rest of the world. Generating such buy-in always involves tradeoffs: winning most means compromising some.
I remain convinced that a Kerry administration would have propelled America far faster toward that inevitable adjustment, the very same realignment the Bush White House finally undertakes today.
So what's been lost?
Merely time and opportunity, our two most precious assets.

"Is it enough, in the end, for Bush's second administration to repair — for the most part — the damage to America's global standing created by his first?" – interesting question – but a better question would have started with "Is it possible" rather than "Is it enought". In order to bring about true change the current administration must first admit that their policies, to this point, were wrong, that they were ill-considered, that they were fatally falwed. Only after showing true contrition towards the havoc they've brought to the world can any genuine attempt to "repair the damage to America's global standing" begin.
Face the facts, generations of Americans will pay for the policies of the Bush administration, just like generations of Germans have paid for Hitler. The trouble I see in America, however, is that a large number of OUR citizens still see the policies of Bush as being the correct ones, rather than the complete failures that they have been. This leaves us vulnerable to a resurgence of Bushian politics in the very near future. We should fear that neocon resurgence the way the German people fear the rise of another Nazi "leader".
Bush is going to have a bigger problem trying to erase the corruption in his entire party during his Administration. I remember the earthquake when Nixon was forced to resign and the GOP took a terrible hit for his crimes. But we did return under Ford but not enough apparently. Carter had one term and yet being a complete gentleman with an honest character was a rather weak leader.
In 2008 there is virtually no Republican who is running against the corruption. I will never understand how Bush's crimes can be justified. It is, and should be, the end of the Republican Party. Good Riddance! Since the truth about Iraq and Iran has been exposed not a single Republican has stood out to question the loss of so many of our brave soldiers. Not a single Republican can talk against what Bush has done…All who claim to be good and honest Christians! May I add my comment? Bullshit!
Instead of replacing a Christian with another Christian who apparently does not know right from wrong, if America wants to survive with integrity we must go with the strongest changes in our government programs, by reducing the size. Banning abortions is not what we need. We need a man who knows right from wrong and can prove it by using the Constitution.
The GOP took a serious hit under Bush 41 and 43. Give it up and locate men and women who know right from wrong. I'm sick of these lying pro-life fools.
Bush hasn't learned a damn thing. The reason, and likely the only reason, he is repudiating anything from the past 7 years of his administration is for purposes of legacy. What people will remember is how they felt that last year before he left. It's a little like asking fans to vote for the all time great baseball team. When you look at the results, other than the likes of Ruth or Williams, the players selected tend to be those of the generation of the particular voter fan, and since the youngest tend to participate in such polls, the results are heavily skewed to the most recent players. The same psychology is being applied here, with the hope that the memory retained about Bush, is the last one, not the one who screwed things up and caused multi generational problems for this country.
acf. I can guarantee that there are enough writers not to let Bush get away with a damn thing. Just here at CHB we have gathered some great commentators. They are popping up all over the 'net.
I have behind me here in my office enough books that have exposed Bush to the core. We will not forget as in many of our minds, he not only destroyed the Constitution, American values and the Republican Party; Arlington is filled with the sacrifices he offered to his God of the NWO. We need some script writers, book publishers and cartoonists to do the job.

Born Free USA Blog
by Adam M Roberts,
Chief Executive Officer
When it comes to animals, Adam Roberts not only talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Since beginning his animal advocacy career in Washington, D.C. in 1991, Adam's ambition, tireless involvement, and profound knowledge of conservation and wildlife issues have cemented him as a go-to voice for protecting animals — and he has elevated Born Free USA to the respected and impactful organization that we know today. Adam's compassionate, informed, and forward-thinking blogs will surely motivate you to join us in our fight to Keep Wildlife in the Wild.
Using Celebrity to Stand Up for Animals
Never underestimate the power of media to stimulate positive change. "Blackfish," the hit documentary that exposes abuse and exploitation in the captive marine mammal industry, made its television debut in October—and quickly drew the public eye to marine animal suffering at SeaWorld.
SeaWorld's innocent reputation has been challenged, perhaps never to be fully restored, and public criticism of the marine theme park has spread like wildfire. A once-popular tourist attraction has rapidly gained (well-deserved) infamy.
Born Free USA has actively opposed the use of animals in entertainment for years. But now, leading the charge against SeaWorld's injustices is not only the usual faction of animal advocacy organizations—but famous stars of the music stage.
After "Blackfish" enlightened them to the plight of captive marine mammals, musical acts such as Willie Nelson, Heart, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Barenaked Ladies, 38 Special, REO Speedwagon, and Cheap Trick have cancelled their upcoming concerts at SeaWorld.
And, because these are big-name acts, each cancellation is plastered all over news outlets. "Blackfish" is frequently cited as the impetus for the cancellations, which introduces new audiences to the film's existence—and spreads the word about the ethical concerns surrounding SeaWorld. Even those who typically pay little attention to animal advocacy now see their news filled with provocative stories about musicians, SeaWorld, and "Blackfish." It's exposure. It's education. Kudos to these stars for taking a stand against this fundamentally flawed theme park concept.
Celebrities hold a unique, powerful potential for public impact. Name recognition alone establishes the opportunity for widespread publicity. Thankfully, as we've seen in the case of my parents with their iconic "Born Free" film; with Brian May, guitarist for the band Queen and proud animal advocate; and now, with this recent barrage of ethically-motivated musical acts, concerned stars are using their influential status for good.
I recently read that a 5th grade class in Malibu, CA has cancelled its long-standing overnight trip to SeaWorld in light of the revelations in "Blackfish." In my mind, these kids are now rock stars, too! If this is any indication of the young generation's burgeoning empathy for nonhuman beings, then media has done their job. I eagerly anticipate a more compassionate future in which critical awareness is the norm—and institutionalized animal exploitation, like that of SeaWorld, is merely a shameful memory.
Blogging off,

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

SYCAMORE, IL, February 7, 2008 – Adding to its standing as an innovator in data communications solutions, IDEAL launched today the industry's first F-series compression connector with a transparent bushing.
Suitable for RG6 and RG6 Quad coaxial cables, the new IDEAL OmniCONN F Connector simplifies installation of video, data and telephony systems by integrating a clear hardened polycarbonate bushing into its single-piece design. This patented feature gives the installer full visual of the cable entering into the connector's inner mandrel, helping to reduce failures commonly encountered while installing compression connectors, such as torn cable shielding, bunched braids, or fraying of the dielectric.
Further strengthening the connectors' performance are: a non-corrosive nickel plated brass body, a free spinning hex nut for installation on all 7/16-inch ports, 75 ohm nominal impedance, bandwidth up to 3 GHz, and a Delrin/Nylon adapter sleeve and o-ring for a true watertight seal.
IDEAL OmniCONN F connectors have been extensively tested on several manufacturers' cables. The connectors meet SCTE Pull Test requirements (40 lb.), as well as pass SCTE Moisture Migration and UV tests, making them useable for indoor/outdoor applications.
For pricing and more information, contact IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC., Becker Place, Sycamore, Illinois 60178. Or phone 1-800-435-0705. On the web, www.idealindustries.com.

Solar Panels Cost and Solar Power – A Short Overview
Should you decide to plunge into using solar power alternative for your household energy needs, it is best to consider its many related crucial factors. These include the costs of materials, installation, and maintenance framed against the projected energy savings at a future time. Solar panels cost is simply one aspect of the whole alternative power business.
The first consideration is the plain fact that, at present, solar panels (also called PV or photo-voltaic panels) are relatively costly. To date, the raw materials used to manufacture them are expensive themselves. This is expected to go down as sales demands would increase production output or more cost-efficient manufacturing processes are developed.
Simplified into equivalents, solar panels cost around $6 to $8 worth per electrical wattage. Aside from the material expense, solar power systems have the added burden of initial installation costs, costs of power storage batteries, and overall system maintenance. (The life span of materials – panels, batteries, tubes, wirings – is also factored in.) An average solar-powered system that produces, say 75 watts of power, may run up around $900 installation costs ($12/watt). A home that uses 2 kilowatts of efficient energy needs around $16,000 to $20,000 installation expenses. Owners of regular homes that consume 5 kilowatts of energy may need to fork out some $30,000 to $40,000 to install the system.
Cost recovery
The good news, of course, is that these expenses will be recouped with the substantial reduction of energy costs later on. There are calculations that show savings in energy costs in 10 years can offset the initial investment in installation and systems maintenance. The figures are well within the projected life span of 20-plus years of working solar panels. Solar panels cost, bundled in the initial installation expense, can also be easily recovered within the projected time frame. Additionally, one can have government support in the form of tax rebates and others. Another added benefit is that home values (particularly in the U.S.) increase for every proportional decrease of energy costs. Figures from Appraisal Journal show that home values rise by $10,000 for every $500 yearly energy savings.

El Paso, TX (Sports Network) - Konner Tucker and Jacques Street tallied 17 points each to lift the Texas-El Paso Miners to a 68-52 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Sun Bowl Invitational championship game at the Don Haskins Center.
John Bohannon grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked four shots for the Miners (6-5), who have a record that is better than .500 for the first time this season since their 1-0 start.
Nebraska (8-4) was led by Ray Gallegos, who went 9-of-15 from the field for a game-high 22 points. Dylan Talley finished 0-of-8 from the floor for four points in the loss. Brandon Ubel got into the mix with 11 points, but also committed a game-high four turnovers.
The Cornhuskers were ice cold at the start of the contest as they made just 23.1 percent of their field goal attempts in the first period. UTEP knocked down 48.1 percent of its shots from the field to take a sizeable 36-16 lead into the intermission.
Although Nebraska improved to knock down 52 percent of its attempts from the floor after the break, the Miners knocked down 4-of-10 from three-point range to protect their lead.
UTEP won the battle inside as it held a 36-30 advantage on the glass and outscored Nebraska, 30-18, in the paint.

Summer interns work 32 to 40 hours per week. This is a paid internship and summer interns are eligible to receive additional pay for evening, night and weekend shifts. (Shifts might occur on a rotating basis.) Interns are not eligible for benefits.
Opportunities for continued employment as an on-call nursing assistant, a patient-care technician, or a nursing assistant/health unit coordinator might be available.
Summer interns are expected to work weekends and holidays as their schedule requires.
Performance Appraisals
Shortly before the internship ends, an evaluation process will take place. Summer interns will submit a self-evaluation and a brief essay (150 words or fewer) to the education and professional development specialist.
The essay should be a reflective journal describing a nurse role model and/or a "high point" that will affect the participant's future nursing practice.
The preceptor will provide feedback on the summer intern's performance. An exit interview ends the evaluation process.
Participants must:
- Be entering their final year of an ADN, BSN or Master's RN program with no previous registered nursing experience.
- Provide current CPR-BLS for Healthcare Provider certification.
Submit resume, official school transcript and recommendation letters from two nursing faculty members to:

- Provide a list of personal goals for your intern experience on the first day of the program.

- Assisting with the collection and reporting of data (e.g., vital signs, vascular and neurological checks, and responses to pain management medications/side effects)
- Participate in therapeutic communication
- Contribute to patients' nursing care plans

Every once in a while, I get some gear in the lab that is put into service in some capacity and just works, generally for quite a long time. The most recent example is the Synology DS509+ NAS that I've been using for a few months.
I have an older Synology unit, a CS407, that's been running the same four SATA drives for years, providing flawless service the whole time. The CS407 is a non-hot-swap high-end consumer NAS that currently provides a variety of storage services in the lab, including SMB, NFS, and Web file services, as well as secondary DNS for some lab segments. It can do all that because it's basically an embedded Linux system with a gigabit NIC. I can SSH into it, assume root, install packages manually, and configure it pretty much like any other Linux box. However, it runs cooler, houses more storage, and uses less power than a regular server. I've been very happy with it.
[ See InfoWorld Test Center's reviews of Sun's stellar NAS in a can and the equally impressive BlueArc Titan 3200 | Cut straight to the key news for technology development and IT management with our once-a-day summary of the top tech news. Subscribe to the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
The Synology DS509+ builds on that, offering a simply fantastic Web-based interface, as well as NFS, SMB, Web, FTP, and other services. It also has five hot-swap disks and an optional extension unit that can add another five hot-swap drives linked through an eSATA connection.
As with the CS407, it's an open architecture, even going so far as to have a Web-based package installation facility. It's a PPC chip, not ARM like the CS407, and I've had no problem installing binaries built for Debian PPC or "official" packages from Synology and the various contributors that package up utilities for these systems. There's also a whole Synology Community for discussion and third-party custom package distribution and a wiki.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
A far more obvious solution to this 'problem' for Druids (though the point about current data from SWP being skewed is a valid one) is to simply take out the frontloading of healing done by wild growth. If the first ticks aren't any stronger than the rest that completely disincentivises reapplying WG before the duration has passed, while still allowing it to be used on more than 5 targets at once, as well as letting it continue to benefit from gift of the earthmother.
As for priests, I can't help but thinking that there must be more fun ways to balance CoH than a simple cooldown. Diminishing returns of healing done if it heals someone more than once every x seconds perhaps?

The problem with this isn't John Waters said in Pink There's a good reason Fortunately, though, this My tastes are very particular, The sad thing is, I'm Point being, I can't This isn't to say that
just that people disgust me, but, more importantly, I've got the sneaking
(okay outright) feeling that I gross others out as well. And over the years,
this feeling has warped me into an introverted girl. Don't get me wrong–given
the choice I'd be a crack-smoking whore who screwed men penniless and never
work a day in my life. But as things stand, I've imposed on myself a strict
regiment of shyness and modesty. Although maybe modest isn't the exact
word to describe me. Asshole is probably a more accurate description.
Flamingos, There are two kinds of people in this world, my kind of people
and assholes. In my case, my kind of people are assholes. This debunks
the theory that ugly girls overcompensate with sparkling personalities. I for
one am mean, shy, paranoid and acutely antisocial. Actually, I think my main
problem is that I require too much "me-time," or as my roommate puts
it, "Choi-time," which, when I think about it, turns out to be "all
the time." My work is customer-service related, so this leaves me satiated
socially. Naturally, I want to be alone when I get home. My roommates will knock
on the door and I'll pretend I'm not there, even though they can see
the shadows of my feet under the door. Eventually, they go away and I don't
come out until morning when I have to go to work again. So, it's not just
that I don't like strangers, because I dislike my friends and family as
why I hate interacting with people: I'm socially inept. When people talk
to me, I'm so full of nervous giggles that they walk away thinking I'm
handicapped. I fall apart at fart jokes and become giddy when attractive men
talk to me. And whenever I'm nervous, which is always, my voice gets so
high-pitched that only sorority girls can hear me. All things considered, I
really don't blame people for not liking me.
isn't a cry for validation. In fact, you'd be startled if you knew
the heights of unwarranted pride I've reached. I walk around my New Jersey
campus quietly revolted by college students. I'm grossed out by skaters,
intellectuals, alternadudes and–God forbid–ravers. Personally, my
dream man is a fry-cook at Houlihan's. And right now he's nursing
a baby bottle of beer and watching reruns of Friends. By himself. And
he just released a symphony of farts. Now he's grinning in his sleep and
baring teeth that look like piano keys.
you see. My picture of happiness is either a lifetime with this dozing gentleman,
or as the proud overseer of a sprawling dude ranch somewhere in Arizona. The
ranch would be peopled by trolls and fry-cooks. But I'd leave it all behind
to be a mail-order bride to a rich oil miner from Texas. Or any dude I could
antagonize with a needy, loving undercurrent–anyone who would play Mr.
Belvedere to my Wesley.
not entirely kidding. In fact, I'm not kidding at all. I truly find myself
drawn to goofy men more so than ironic people–young urbanites terrify me.
I prefer the company of men who refuse to touch a book unless it has a treasure
hunt in it. And if I were a man, I'd feel the same way. I'd be falling
in love with frizzle-headed Jersey girls and hiphop divas like Lil' Kim.
And Bette Midler and Fran Drescher would be–are–my goddess muses.
take people seriously when they're trying to be cute. What's worse
is when they do it on paper. My system recoils at sex columns and I simply can't
bring myself to write one with a straight face. The thought of it riddles me
with self-consciousness, and makes me hate being a woman and the thought of
copulating with whichever dipshits are finding that sort of thing hot. Reading
sex columns makes me want to shriek and run and hide from civilization. But
this may just be because, once again, I'm an overly critical asshole.
I'm a totally horrible person (although I am). In fact, I can't help
but like the majority of people once I get to know them (not really). But I
do think the thought of trying to be sexy on paper is silly. My life is too
dull for me to pretend I'm a dangerous whore who wants to rub nasties with
random readers. Truth is, I probably don't. And not even so much because
people are gross, but because I myself am an insurmountably volatile and nervous
The problem with this isn't

Best Uses
Great compliments from all visitors seeing our new Hickory flooring!!
We love its toughness and durability while providing a beautiful new look to our kitchen and den library
Service and delivery comments:
We picked up our last 10 boxes of Hickory flooring
Best Uses
Flooring went down easily, but after acclimation the floor is not as even as it should be for the price of Bellawood. I have noticed a few dents in the hickory after a few months which i did not expect due to the hickory species being as hard as it is. That being said the floor is beautiful and the unique color pattern is really nice. I would recommend this floor as well as the stairnose. The T-mold that I purchased was noticeably darker than the rest of the Hickory floor and stairnose so I would recommend inspecting the color of the T-mold prior to purchase if your local store has it in stock. Enjoy the many before and after pictures.
Best Uses
Found several pieces that were 1/8" too thick, some pieces that were 1/16" too wide and some pieces that had marks on them from where they were stacked to dry when green. Several pieces had damage to grouve and tounge.
Best Uses
I love my floors. They turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. The staff at LL in Kennewick, Wash were amazing and offered expert advice. I'm simply thrilled!
Best Uses
We installed over 1100 ft in bedrooms, office, L.R. and dining room. I have also just ordered 3" hickory for my stair risers. Beautiful variations, easy install. Efficient use of cut pieces for use in closets resulted in less than 5% waste. Chairs in office are sitting directly on floor(no mats)and leave no marks. Our Boston Terrier has long nails, but has not scratched the floor at all.
Best Uses
We put the Hickory in our Kitchen after previously putting in in our living room that adjoins 10 years ago. We have loved the way it has worn and has transformed our kitchen beyond our wildest dreams!!
Service and delivery comments:
The delivery was so amazingly easy and seamless - we live on an island, so delivery can be sometimes impossible and/or expensive. The staff at Lumber Liquidators was friendly, informed and accurate on every point regarding the delivery process!
Best Uses
We had dark commercial carpet and though it was durable it just needed to go so we decided on a bright hardwood floor to replace it. I was nervous at first on whether we made the right choice going with this Hickory, I was so pleasantly surprised to see how amazing our front room looks now! Its like a new home that we keep walking into, so much brighter and feels like we have a lot more space!
Best Uses
We had to rip boards to proper width to match
Could not use many boards because they were too narrow--in effect some boards were 1/16th too wide and others 1/16 too narrow
We expected about 10% waste, unusable boards but we are closer to 15%. What we did an identical room with 7 boxes took over 8 boxes!
Poor milling--wood not seasoned prior to milling
and finishing
Finished floor overall looks good, took twice the time it should have, shows too many gaps due to milling problems
Best Uses
We had professional installers put this hickery in the living room and kitchen. I was apprehensive about the wide variation of color, but when it was all layed we were thrilled. It gives the rooms a warmth and unique look that we just love.
Best Uses
We drove from PA to NJ to get the 5 inch hickory planks - liked them that much. Installation had some issues as the planks had varying thicknesses and some bowed pieces early on. On balance, though, came out nice and we are pleased with the look - love the wide planks! I am a little disappointed with the ease with which our chocolate lab's claws have made scratches already - visible in the light. Overall my wife is pleased (which is what matters, right guys?) and the strong natural variation makes our cabinets really pop. Would buy from LL again for sure, great selection and prices.

NBC Universal's exclusive negotiating window with World Wrestling Entertianment expired last week, and for the first time there has been confirmation via a party involved that no deal was reached to extend the current partnership.
In a statement released to Variety, WWE acknowledged that the sides could not agree to a new deal during the window, and that the company is beginning the process of negotiating with other potential suitors.
WWE's exclusive negotiating period with NBCU for our flagship television programs Raw and Smackdown has now expired.
While we were unable to reach an agreement with NBCU during this period, we have certainly appreciated our long and productive partnership. With year-round, live programming that is highly coveted by programmers, distributors and advertisers, we are extremely excited about our future. We look forward to engaging with potential partners who recognize the value of having the #1 show on cable and live content delivered 52 weeks a year.
The report from Variety also mentions that "Raw" and "Smackdown" will continue to air on their current NBCU networks until September 30th. Also, NBCU does have the right to match any deal offered from any other network before WWE can accept another offer.
Other rumored companies expected to have interest in acquiring WWE programming are Disney, Fox, and Viacom. More information should be known later this week when the WWE releases its fourth quarter earnings report.

The fear when you get a high end raider in a casual guild is that your performance will suffer without them. In reality, unless you plan on turning casual to hardcore, you can always find someone who is skilled but undergeared then teach them the fights and gear up. My guilds warrior tank who quit between the pressures of school, job and girlfriend agro. I had tanked on and off for all of WoW so I was asked to fill in. It took a little time to get used to full time tanking rather than hitting the boss in the ass with your two big swords but we did well.
Kick the sucker out of the guild. I've seen so many of these types who would quit to find greener pastures. What they are looking for is for the regular guildies to be in awe of their uberness. They will wreck your guild or possibly worse, change it from casual to hardcore by "recruiting" more of their friends and taking over.

BOSTON (AP) — Some Massachusetts doctors with business interests in medical marijuana dispensaries say they have been told by federal drug agents to sever all ties to marijuana companies or relinquish federal licenses to prescribe certain medications.
The choice is necessary, they were told, because while Massachusetts like many states allows medical use of marijuana, federal law bans any use of marijuana.
At least three Massachusetts physicians have been contacted by U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration investigators, The Boston Globe (http://bit.ly/1ozAyft ) reported Friday.
Dr. Samuel Mazza, chief executive of Debilitating Medical Conditions Treatment Centers, which won preliminary state approval to open a dispensary in Holyoke, said the DEA's visit came shortly after state regulators granted provisional licenses for 20 medical marijuana dispensaries. None has opened.
"Here are your options," Mazza said he was told. "You either give up your (DEA) license or give up your position on the board ... or you challenge it in court."
Mazza said he gave up the DEA license because he didn't need it anymore.
A DEA spokeswoman refused to answer questions about the doctors' assertions, including whether doctors in other states where medical marijuana is legal are being given the same ultimatum.
Physicians, dentists and other health care providers who prescribe or administer narcotics and other controlled substances are required to register with the DEA, which tracks use of the drugs and strips federal licenses of those who fraudulently prescribe them.
Dr. Walter Panis, chief medical officer for Alternative Therapies Group, which was granted preliminary approval by the state to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Salem, said he has not been contacted by the DEA but expressed concern.
He said he would consult a lawyer, but if forced to make a choice, would probably disassociate himself from the dispensary.
