Serbia is close to agreeing the sale of a majority stake in its sole steel mill Zelezara Smederevo d.o.o. to a Russian investor, Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said.
"We are very close to striking a deal," Dacic told reporters in Belgrade today after meeting the Russian company yesterday. "This is a big Russian company, which has been interested in Zelezara for months and they want their identity disclosed once they agree to sign a memorandum of understanding.
The government has been trying to find an investor for Zelezara Smederevo since January, when Serbia bought it back from U.S. Steel Corp (X:US) who gave up the unprofitable plant.
The Russian company wants to manage Zelezara and invest around 100 million euros ($129 million) with the government retaining between 20 percent and 30 percent in the mill, Dacic said, adding that this is not ''a done deal yet.''
Serbia wants to lure industrial investors as the economy slows and the government tries to halt a further increase in unemployment, already at 25.5 percent.
Dacic said the government will start overhauling the public sector overhaul and introduce ''more flexible'' labor contracts and curb ''unnecessary public spending.''
Serbia will talk to the International Monetary Fund ''not because we need their money, but because we need them as a proof they support our policies,'' Dacic said.
The lender said this month it would be monitoring Serbia's progress in reducing the deficit and changes to central bank law before agreeing to a new loan deal.

World Fantasy Award winner Lavie Tidhar has it that Benjanun Sriduangkaew may be "the most exciting new voice in speculative fiction today," and on the basis of Scale-Bright, he might be right. A love story set in heaven and Hong Kong arranged around a troubled young woman's belated coming of age, it's the longest and most involved tale Sriduangkaew has told to date, and considered alongside The Sun-Moon Cycle, it represents an achievement without equal.
"An orphan who spent seven years hating equally the parents that died and the extended family that did not," Julienne, when we join her, lives what you might describe as a quiet life with her adoptive aunts, Hau Ngai and Seung Ngo. The fact that they're myths in mortal form complicates things a little, admittedly.

Conservator Biography
Ann Hoenigswald
Senior Conservator of Paintings
National Gallery of Art
Ann Hoenigswald is senior conservator of paintings at the National Gallery of Art. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania in art history and history, and her MA in art conservation from Oberlin College and the Intermuseum Conservation Association.
Since joining the Gallery in 1977, she has treated many masterpieces in the collection. Although she has worked on paintings from the 13th through the 20th centuries, her focus has been on late 19th-century and early modern works. Her treatments of Edouard Manet's paintings and her extensive work on Vincent van Gogh's have been widely celebrated. Most recently, she finished the restoration of Mary Cassatt's Little Girl in a Blue Armchair (1878).
She was awarded the Kress Paired Fellowship in Conservation and the History of Art from the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA) (1998–1999) and was an invited museum scholar at the Getty Center (2011). She was also invited to be the visiting conservator at the Courtauld Institute in London (2012). In addition to treating paintings she has researched the process of painting and the materials techniques of impressionist and post-impressionist artists as well as early 20th-century artists. Much of her work has been in collaboration with art historians and conservation scientists. Hoenigswald's most recent publication is an essay in the catalogue for the Degas/Cassatt exhibition. She has also published on Picasso's hidden images, Van Gogh's Self-Portrait, Malevich, matte paint surfaces, 19th-century oil sketches, and the history of restoration in France. She is a frequent contributor and organizer of colloquies and collaborative study days on 19th-century topics.

One of Dwight Freeney's former employees is accused of stealing $2.2 million from the Colts defensive star.
In a 26-page criminal complaint , the FBI claimed Eva Weinburg and her lover, Michael Stern, came up with a scheme to take the money out of Freeney's bank account. The couple reportedly used the money for luxury hotel stays, personal expenses and had even planned to buy an airplane. The FBI said they even tried to cash a $50,000 check from the Colts.
Freeney hired Weinburg in January 2009 to handle his personal finances, real estate investments and his restaurant in Hollywood. She controlled his accounts, taking care of all of the bills and keeping the checkbook balanced.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Back in August, Freeney was looking at his bank statements and didn't understand why there were 139 transfers to a company he wasn't doing business with.
Freeney's interior designer was able to connect the dots. She told investigators Weinberg was sleeping with the head of that company. That man turned out to be Stern, a man Weinberg tried to get Freeney to do business with.
Freeney called the FBI who set up a sting. According to court papers, Stern asked the FBI informant to get a laptop out of a vehicle in Los Angeles and destroy it. That's when the feds moved in and seized the computer.
Officials said the pair had been planning on leaving the country to head to the Bahamas, Trinidad or Israel within the next week.
Weinburg has bonded out of jail. Stern is due in court Wednesday.

In Tampa, heavy rain and intense sun and heat were the two main weather patterns. Sometimes we sought shelter in the shade and sometimes in tents and under tarps.
One night a dozen or more of the folk of Romneyville gave up on trying to sleep in a 6 hour car wash and shared a huge concrete bed with homeless folk under an overpass. We're gone but most of them are probably still there.
The intense heat and sun was good for drying out our rain-soaked clothes as we wore them on our bodies, or after we've tied them to a rusting fence or scattered them on the ground.
The rain took away my body and hair odor as I got drenched yelling at cops during a march : "the police are not the problem, per se; the problem is big money which is buying our government; this is a movement based on love." At least two cops responded, "we know."
The emphasis is on 'per se.' A few weeks ago, two Tampa officers shot a black teenager in the back 14 times as he fled. But during the Republican National Convention the cops were extra nice. One morning, they brought us about 150 sandwiches and as many bottles of water. The sandwiches were leftovers from what police officers and members of the National Guard didn't eat. Many of us applauded as cops in khaki shorts carried these gifts from the John Deer Gators they were riding around in day and night when not cycling. Those SPVs (special purpose vehicles) were like suped up golf carts.
"Weren't the cops just super nice?" asked a member of Veterans For Peace as we left Tampa and headed to Charlotte on one of the Occupy Wall Street buses.
In a thick New Yorker accent, he hypothesized, "maybe the Republicans were trying to show they have a heart. And the Democrats, the Republicans are always saying they're wimps. So, maybe we're in for tough time as we protest and camp out in Charlotte, if the Democrats want to show they're tough guys." The cops also hovered a helicopter low each morning at 6 am for a wake up call. But the din was white noise that gave back a deeper sleep almost as soon as it took it away, drowning out voices, the heart-felt and astute and drunk down alike.
Camping out is a way for folk to organize politically without spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on hotels and conference centers. At least two people told me they hitch-hiked to Romneyville-- Mike, from Main and Nic from Colorado to Tampa.
With encampments, we experiment with community, working with each other for sanitation, food, water, security, and conflict resolution. One person named Terri called it "tribal living."
To me, indeed, there does seem a degree of social connection at encampments seems lacking otherwise. One woman told me with tears in her eyes as people began to pack up to leave Romneyville,. "I'm sad. I love these people. " I suggested, not entirely feebly, "make this happen in other places."
For those of us who say we want to change or replace the existing social order, it might make sense to see how well we can work together in intentional communities.
Here was the place for mobile kitchen utensil washing. Spent time here as a way to become more connected to life at the encampment.
We sorted vegetables and fruit, the spoiled from what was still good.
A variety of people helped with the mobile kitchen.
They either volunteered unprompted or in response to calls for assistance such as "If you want dinner, we need help in the kitchen."
We got water from here, about a 150 feet away from the kitchen bus. Felipe
Felipe Chavez, Diamond Dave Whittaker, and a few others in the camp talked with police, city workers who then contacted the person in charge of the privately-owned water main to keep it flowing. Police had intended to shut our water off, which would have affected our ability to cook, clean, wash our hands, and shower with used plastic 1 gal bottles. It took about 3 of them to have a thorough shower.
Romneyville in Tampa, which is now Obamaville as the Democratic National Convention begins in Charlotte, was on private property, arranged by Rev Bruce Wright, and situated next to an Army-Navy surplus store.
A couple people from Occupy Wall Street who came to Tampa in two buses told me they were refused when they asked about buying brass knuckles and pepper spray. There was a highway above Romneyville. Several times as I climbed from my watery tent, I imagined myself in one or more of those cars or trucks zooming past overhead on my way to some job. Didn't hear anyone shout the usual "get a job." But someone yelled, "take a bath" a couple days before most of us left.
'Diamond Dave' Whittaker was holding court on the grass in the shade of the bus for Rainbow Kid Village Kitchen.
"Back then, the American Communist Party sent their people down south. They were more bad-assed in those days. They went down and organized at the camps. These became the unemployed councils in the 1930s, the Southern Tenant Farmers Union. All those could be connected historically to the Hoovervilles. Don't forget the Bonus Army camps. They'd ride freight trains all the way to DC and they were burned out from their camps by Douglas MacArthur."
Back in those days, protesters set up camp on some friendly land right outside of town, Whittaker said.
"One by one, they'd get up on a box and make a speech. They'd read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They got arrested and they packed the jails. You asked me 'why camp?' But, why not camp?"
Whittaker said encampments are an important part of social movements.
"This part of what we do, sharing food and taking care of one another, instead of just having a demonstration that lasts a couple of hours, or meetings where you sit."
Diamond Dave said sharing food and working together at Romneyville and other encampments and occupations is an organic part of realizing the vision we have for the world.
"The old Wobblies, the IWW, and the miners who camped, and the people up in the big trees who camped, the people in the 60s who formed communes---we lived together, we shared food together, we dumpstered together. We did more together than we could do on our own."
He said encampments involve common ground, a liberated area.
"It's TAZ, temporary autonomous zone, (from poet, anarcho-immediatist and Sufi scholar Hakim Bey). It's where we declare our independence and acknowledge our interdependence with one another. Weave that together with the fact we're here on the front lines of cultural, social, and political change."
Sitting beside Dave and playing guitar in the Tampa shade of the kitchen bus was a young woman who gave her name as Audrey and didn't want to be photographed.
" When we can create a community like this and hold each other accountable and demonstrate collective living in an autonomous space, it gives us a safe space for ideas and organizing."
She agreed with Diamond Dave when it comes to learning our history.
"Tent cities have been a protest tactic forever. Activists need a safe to organize. These are global issues, so people come from all over. The name of this camp, Romneyville, is a protest of its own."
She said the encampment is a demonstration of how bad poverty in the US has become.
Also, sitting with us on the grass in the shade was blue-eyed Matt, wearing a Grateful Dead shirt a woman gave him during his travels.
"We're camping here to protest the RNC. But Romneyville was here before that to house the homeless of Tampa. There are all sorts of camps that spring up across the country. It's not only Occupy. There are many homeless camps which are protests in and of themselves."
Matt said we live in a society which leaves unmet the basic needs of many people.
"The reason civilization first sprung up was to organize humans in a way so that everyone was taken care of."
He said the governments in the US and other countries are not only failing to meet people's needs and protect our rights, but are actively working in opposition to that.
" A person in this country doesn't even have the right to set up rudimentary shelter to protect themselves from the elements. The idea of camping and setting up our own community is a recognition of what Thomas Jefferson said. He said the purpose of government is to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Matt said when government becomes destructive of those ends as it does now, then it's our responsibility to the take the initiative to make sure those rights exist for people.
"The proof is in the camps. We take care of each other better than any government ever could. Organic, nonhierarchical communities can actually meet the needs of the people within them. They work. It's the only thing that ever has worked thru out history. That's why they're not allowed. The government is afraid of us thinking we don't need their power."
Also on the grass with us was Nic, (for nicotine) from Occupy Denver. A few nights ago, he brewed and shared some relaxing and mildly psychoactive mint tea, before I crawled into my tent.
As he and a friend hitch-hiked from Colorado to Tampa, he even got a ride toward his destination from a State Trooper in one of Carolinas.
Nic said he saw a lot of community at Romneyville.
"The bigger it gets, the harder it is to remember everyone. But there's always a way as long as people are wiling to take a step in somebody else's shoes."
He said the encampments are indispensable.
"There've been days I didn't go on marches, but just sat with the kitchen and did dishes and cleaned up and took care of whatever needed to be done. Without the kitchen, there wouldn't be all these people here."
Respect is also needed for maintaining the encampments, said Nic T.
"People have boundaries, so you don't want to cross those. You don't mess with people's stuff. You don't mess with people."
Tera Colon caught my attention when she and Green Party candidate Cheri Honkala addressed a crowd at Romneyville in English and Spanish. Colon said some people don't choose to live in encampments because of activism, per se.
"If you don't have a choice about where to stay, you might erect your own tent city. There are tent cities all over the country. I've lived in my own tent city. That's why you see me out here helping out."
Colon on more than one occasion made her rounds at Romneyville, warning people against drinking alcohol.
"I know what it takes to make tent cities safe. The reason we keep so much discipline on the camp is to keep children safe. Chaos does not create safety. Organization does."
Abe Mortillaro traveled to Romneyville with a group of Occupy Wall Street activists.
"If we're out here, people can see us and find out what we're about. One person sleeping outside is not going to do anything (to raise awareness) . People will say, 'oh, it's just another bum.' But if they see a group of people camping outside and building a community, they'll start to notice more."
Dixie Mize described herself as an Occupy Pensacola camp nurse when we spoke at the encampment.
"One of the reasons I opted to camp out was to let the city, the people, see us for a reason. Unfortunately, homeless people are drawn to Occupy. We feed them and try to care for them. But isn't this a sad statement on the condition of our country? I'll go home to my house, but these people will still be sleeping outside, begging for tents. By being out here, we're keeping it in the face of society."
Mize said she has an income with which she can sustain herself.
"But many of my brothers and sisters don't. Somebody's got to do something and that's why I'm out here. What little I can do, I'm going to do."
John Bailey is at Romneyville out of necessity, though he's taking an interest in meetings there and the protests. He said a sticker on the guitar case of someone at Romneyville read, 'why is it easier to believe that 150,000,000 Americans are being lazy rather than 400 Americans are being greedy?'
Bailey said he had a job but lost it because business was slow.
" My biggest issue with being on the streets is being harassed by the cops. I'm not causing any problems. I'm just trying to find a job so I can eat and take care of my kids. But until then, I'm on the street."
Bailey said this is his first experience with activism.
"Being an ex-felon, they make it hard to vote here in Florida. I had to go way out of state to Georgia, just to register to vote. In order to vote this year, I have to send for an absentee ballot. Here in Florida, I've been waiting for two years just for my voting rights. That's a big issue. They're protesting stuff like that."
But Bailey didn't think of himself as part of the groups of activists at the encampment. He referred to 'they' not 'we'.
"In my opinion, they're camping out because they're trying to make a point. A selective few have all the money in America and these guys are saying, 'everybody needs something. We don't have anything and so let's try to take a stand for it.'"
Bailey said the protesters are not lazy and not drug abusers.
"They're just trying to make a point. 'We need jobs. We don't want to dance to somebody else's drum. I'm an individual. Let me be me. You be you.' These guys'll work but there aren't any jobs out there."
Filipe Chavez has been feeding activists encampments for more than 30 years. For several days, he and a couple of fellow workers in the Rainbow Kid's Village Kitchen have been feeding Romneyville with propane stoves and a nearby water main, and the help of volunteers among us Romneyville folk. That kitchen seemed greater than the sum of its parts. Words can't do justice to it--- all from under a tarp suspended between the bus of Mobile Broadcast News and the kitchen bus.
"I have four stints in my heart. But what keeps me alive is that I have a goal in life. I was taught by my grandmother to never sell the food, but to share it and serve it. That's what I've been doing for more than 30 years."
Chavez said a challenge is not having enough food to prepare for everybody.
"But it gradually, somehow manifests. There are churches and other groups coming forward with donations."
Chavez said people have the right to gather and to "walk the Earth in a good way." He said the US is becoming a police state.
"This is happening by the laws that are passed by the people who are wealthy. The people who control the system are not those who are the most qualified, but those who have the most money. There are a lot of people who are qualified but haven't got the resources for advertising and those other things they do with political parties. My children always call me up and say, 'dad we're pride of you.'"
Leon Soroka
"I was here in Tampa sleeping in various parts of the city. I had to get up at the crack of dawn and carried my backpack with me all day. I heard about this tent city where you can sleep in if you desired and where you could keep the heaviest of your possessions in your tent."
Soroka smiled and squinted in the late morning sun, saying, "those things were very appealing to me."
But he said those conveniences are not the only reason for being part of the Romneyville community.
"Within the first 2 weeks I was here I learned this is not just a goodwill camp run by pastors, but that this is an activist camp. They have different things to participate in that I was kind of leery about, but I feel I'm warming up a little more to their causes."
Activists with the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign started Romneyville in May, say some activists here. Soroka said the group has clearly defined demands.
"I also realize we as Americans have a right to assemble. That first march we did on Monday was a great experience.

Kinda bummed by the raid nerfs. Our guild was just starting to make progress and really dig deep, and now it feels like it'll just be handed to us. I wish instead of nerfing the raid, they would make an "easy" mode, so we have easy, normal, and heroic. And to head off the "elitist" claims that will be thrown at me, I don't even care if the gear is all the same, I play for the challenge and camaraderie, not the lewt.
My gut reaction was that this seemed like overkill, my guild was struggling and we all found most of these fights to be a little too unforgiving, but a 20% cut across the board seemed like too much and too late.
But at the same time, it's going to make getting ready for Firelands a whole lot easier for new guilds/raiders/returners, and I think it represents a step back to Wrath thinking, where everyone with the motivation should get to see and participate in content, regardless of time constraints or relative skill. For those who want a challenge, hard modes haven't been touched and Firelands is sure to be difficult. For those who just want to play around with their friends one night a week, then that option is (will soon be) open to them as well.

The thing is, I would bet money that if they did add an easy mode, that had the same gear as normal, they would seriously be played by at least if not more than 75% of the player base. Normal SHOULD be easy mode. Heroic should be hard. It's that simple. More gradients aren't needed, but rather the leap between the two should be more pronounced.
Also your guild always has the option to complete it before the patch, as well as then try hard modes (which are not getting nerfed).
Just because some people like the game frustratingly difficult, doesn't mean everyone does.
Wild Colors said...
I don't understand why Blizz is doing this as opposed to adding a stacking buff like they did in ICC.
That was perfect, in the sense that you had the option to turn it off (no one did, but the *choice* was there), and in the sense that the encounters didn't actually change...you just began to overpower them.
Actually doing things like reducing the number of blood parasites in Magmaw, or the amount of corruption dealt in the Cho'gall encounter, seems permanent and goes a long way towards trivializing the encounters. These are qualitative changes, rather than just a stacking quantitative buff.
Nina Katarina said...
You've still got time - Firelands is not going to go live next week or the week after. I don't know how far your progression is, but there's still time to make leaps and bounds.
Um no, we need more gradients. This is so that all levels of ability have something to work on. Otherwise you get ToC/ICC Bull. Where you could do normal easily and then rip your eyes out on Hard Mode. Ulduar was the best tier or raiding ever because of the multiple bosses with multiple levels of difficulty.
emberdione said...
Spork - How many raids did you run in ICC where the buff was turned off? I raided on 3 toons through ICC with two guilds, and commonly pugging it on weekends. Never once was the buff turned off. In fact I recall a pug raid where someone thought they would be funny, turned it off, and the raid leaving, then reforming less that person, just to get it back.
I think a true test would to have Heroic modes give the same gear as regular ones. How many people would honestly run heroics then?
People too often assume what is fun for one person is fun for everyone.
I vehemently disagree. "Easy and Hard" is a silly difficulty split. For me and my raid group, "easy" is way too boring. "Hard" is too frustrating. The current normal difficulty is an excellent middleground. It's still challenging without being insane. It's still beatable without sleeping through it. I have no problem with the idea of an easy mode, but I absolutely DESPISE the idea of getting rid of normal mode. I'm ok with nerfing the "old" tier to let more people see it, but the current tier should maintain a "normal" level of difficulty.
Well I can see why Blizzard would nerf tier 11 content - 4.2 makes it easy to get tier 11 gear through justice points, these raids will only award justice points from 4.2, and the simple fact is that there appears to be a large percentage of the player base who haven't really been able to get into raiding this tier.
If you're already through normal mode tier 11 this won't affect you because you'll be working on Firelands. If you're not, you have a good few weeks to work on it. If you've not been able to get going on the current raiding tier, the nerfs will take away the fear factor and encourage more guilds to give it a shot, get through it relatively quickly, and catch up to the tier 12 hardcore.
It's a good thing for the game.
My opinion on this is that my guild is 9/12 right now, and I am hoping that we can down all the end bosses before 4.2 hit, but if we can't, we will absolutely be close (We've been working on Cho a lot since we beat AC two weeks ago).
With these changes, we can pretty much be guaranteed to beat them so we can work on Dragonwrath and all get 4-piece t11. I'm happy.
noel mcleod said...
There is just no way for Blizz to do this fairly. Cata came out about the time my guildies were just getting ready to do Wrath raids (except for those who had grown impatient and moved on to other guilds with their mains). We likely would have got there, we are not incompetent just slow - as in maybe getting the group together once every two-three weeks. I'd rather play with people I like even if they (or me, for that matter) can't be on enough to progression raid. My favorite healer from Wrath for when I'm tanking is currently level 83 (has level 85 alts, but they're DPS alts). We won't be raiding any time soon, but if NOTHING ELSE CHANGED WE WOULD GET THERE.
So I'm good with Blizz moving the content along for those who move fast through it, but let's not confuse playing forty hours a week with playing six. (And I count farming, researching and analyzing with playing, not just the actual hours spent in a raid).
If Blizz stopped all development now, I could probably play for 2 - 3 years at my current pace before I ran out of things I'd like to do with the guild at our current pace.
It doesn't mean I'm a lousy player, I just have other things to do in RL that take precedence.

LiveHarlequins v Worcester Warriors
This live event has finished
- WELCOME to the Twickenham Stoop for tonight's live coverage of the Aviva Premiership clash between reigning champions Harlequins and Worcester Warriors (7.45pm).
- For Warriors, Samoan speedster David Lemi returns on the left wing after representing his country in the Autumn Internationals, while Alex Grove returns to the starting XV in place of the injured Joe Carlisle.
Thanks for following the blog, see you next time!
Right, press conference time - I reckon Hilly will be pleased with the point at the home of the champions, but infuriated by his side's poor discipline.
@tomguestWN thanks for the blog updates - should've won that!— @jo_pens 30 November 2012
@tomguestWN I would have taken the bonus point at the start of he game but I really think we could have won that with some more discapline.— @lauriefletcher 30 November 2012
@tomguestWN @worcswarriors Same old same old giving away too many penalties again!— @Amvar_malc 30 November 2012
Richard Hill imlplores Goodey to get the ball off the pitch with the clock dead, but Warriors deep in their own half.
The fly-half does so and Warriors securte a losing bonus point. Decent effort from Worcester tonight, but their discipline ultiamtely cost them.
With a penalty advantage in the bag from a powerful driving line-out, Evans wastes no time in knocking over a drop-goal.
Quins 22-19 Warriors
Penalty to Quins for Warriors collapsing the scrum. Evans again goes to the corner rather than risking a shot at goal.
Into the last 10 minutes now with the two sides locked together.
TRY Warriors! Goodey launches a long pass out wide to Alex Grove, who breaks the line and sends replacement Errie Claassens sliding towards the line. Referee Pearce speaks to his touch judge and awards the try.
Goode misses the conversion, but the scores are level.
Quins 19-19 Warriors
Another decent spell by Worcester, but they are lacking the cutting edge to open Quins up.
Warriors finding it difficult to get hold of the ball and are dropping it most of the time they do have it. A Quins forward pass hands them possession now though, so hopefully they can use it well.
@tomguestWN sounds like Quins are having the greater pressure but Warriors holding out #COYW you can win this— @padsybear1 30 November 2012
Evans chips the ball between the posts.
Quins 19-14 Warriors
Quins get a big hit on Warriors' put-in, drive the visitors back and win a kickable penalty.
Quins win the line-out, but are hit for truck and trailer to hand the ball back to Worcester.
Warriors' scrum hits the deck, but Evans opts to go for the corner instead of goal.
Tom Guest on for Quins....sounds like a good player to me!
Lutui and Schofield on for Shervington and Chris Jones.
Two minutes left with 14 men.
Good spell of ball-retention takes Warriors into the Quins 22, but Ceri Jones id hit for not releasing and the hosts clear.
Warriors are penalised for closing the gap on their own line-out and Evans pumps the penalty to the 22.
The second-half is under way, can 14-man Warriors hold out until Taulava returns.
Half-time: Quins come roaring back from a strong start by Warriors, to snatch the lead on the stroke of half-time.
David Lemi's early score was cancelled out by a Matt Hopper try, while Nick Evans has kicked 11 points to Andy Goode's nine.
However, Lemi was also binned earlier in the half and Warriors will now be without Taulava for the first 10 minutes of the second-half. Yellow cards could well prove costly to Warriors.
Quins batter the Warriors line with the clock dead and the visitors are forced to scramble and that results in Semisi Taualava being binned for killing the ball.
Evans knocks over the resulting penalty.
Quins 16-14 Warriors
Warriors getting a bit ragged as half-time approaches, conceding a penalty as they scramble to recover from knocked-on possession.
TRY Quins! The hosts secure scrum ball and go left, where Matt Hopper hits the line at top speed and bursts over the line to score by the posts. Evans adds the extras.
Quins 13-14 Warriors
Yep, the Scotland international replaces John Andress, who has gone fairly well, but has picked up an injury.
In the meantime, Lemi is back on and it looks like Euan Murray is coming on too.
Quins set up camp on the Warriors line, but Worcester manage to intercept.
However, instead of clearing to touch, the ball goes to Taulava, who is tackled in goal.
A lovely strike from Goodey, which sails through the posts.
Quins 6-14 Warriors
Shervington finds Percival at the line-out, but the maul is dragged down and Goode has another shot at goal.
Pennell carries the ball well from deep, but it's not going for Warriors at the moment as they are hit for holding on. Quins launch the ball to touch.
Via the upright, Nick Evans manages to land the penalty.
Quins 6-11 Warriors
Warriors go down to 14 men as Lemi is sent to the bin for handling in the ruck as Quins press near the Worcester try line.
Goode strokes the ball home.
Quins 3-11 Warriors
Brilliant work on the floor by Kvesic forces a turn-over from the re-start and Best then rattles into contact and wins a penalty. Good stuff from Warriors.
Nick Evans knocks the simple kick over.
Quins 3-8 Warriors
Quins go over, but are just held up. Referee Luke Pearce was playing penalty advantage though, so the hosts will take a shot at goal.
Quins go over, but are just held up. Referee Luke Pearce was playing penalty advantage though, so the hosts will take a shot at goal.
Quins go over, but are just held up. Referee Luke Pearce was playing penalty advantage though, so the hosts will take a shot at goal.
Line-out to Quins just inside the Warriors 10m line after Worcester were hit for not rolling away.
Worcester have had the nudge at scrum-time so far and win a free-kick, but Goodey opts for the up-and-under and it's too big and easily marked.
@tomguestWN c'mon u warriors !!!!! What a great start lemi u r amazing !!!!!!!— @kierangrayer 30 November 2012
@tomguestWN @WorcsWarriors I'm with you there Tom - come you the Warriors!!! What a great start.— @janie07 30 November 2012
Quins win the line-out, but knock the ball on as they try to work a training ground move. Let off for Warriors.
Goode defence from Warriors, but when Neil Best steals the ball, the referee says he went in from the side. Quins turn down the posts to go for the corner.
Goode defence from Warriors, but when Neil Best steals the ball, the referee says he went in from the side. Quins turn down the posts to go for the corner.
Goode drills the ball through the posts.
Quins 0-8 Warriors
Quins run out of defence, but are hit for off feet. Chance for Goodey to add to the score from bang in front.
TRY Warriors! Alex Grove fires a long pass to switch the focus of attack, Goode finds Pennell, who draws the tackle and superbly off-loads to David Lemi, who wriggles over in the corner.
Goode hits the upright with his conversion attempt.
Quins 0-5 Warriors
Good start from Worcester as Nick Evans has to pick up a loose ball and is tackled back over the line. Scrum 5...
Goodey gets us under way.
@tomguestWN scrappy @WorcsWarriors win by a point, 12-11 #coyw— @sargemahal 30 November 2012
The Warriors players are on the pitch....finally joined by Andy Goode!
@tomguestWN @ Think you might just be right, but way past bed time in Thailand. So trusting in you and the boys for good news at breakfast.— @Propster1 30 November 2012
Five minutes until kick-off here at The Stoop. Can Warriors make it back-to-back Friday night wins?
The Sixways side are not traditionally great travellers, though, and haven't won on the road in the league since the 6-0 success at Wasps nearly 12 months ago.
Three former Quins players in the Worcester starting XV tonight - captain James Percival, Ceri Jones and John Andress. Sure they'll all have a point to prove against their former employers.
@tomguestwn I'll back a Worcester win. Captain Percy to lead the way!— @Phill_Mason 30 November 2012
What do we reckon tonight then @WorcsWarriors fans? I'm going for 24-18 to Warriors.... #eternaloptimist— @tomguestWN 30 November 2012
Here's tonight's team sheet: http://t.co/RaxjbVlt— @tomguestWN 30 November 2012

Faux fur stole for my Daisy Buchanan costume. This fur got every where!
Horrible first try at a triple zip crossbody mini purse. Suggestion: Don't use knit. Pain in the butt! Glad I used scraps! Maybe I just really suck at knits.
Second pair of jeans hemmed. Much better. Did a double folded hem. With 3/8". I could have the hem a little closer to the inside fold. Ill try to do that next time. And I would like to get some better contrast thread. Not sure if I should try to go over it twice to get thicker look or just leave it. Prob just leave it. Pretty proud of myself.
My first pair of jeans hemmed. With zipper foot with denim needle. No issues with the sewing machine on jeans but I'm not too thrilled with the look. I was hoping the original hem would turn out better. And I think I burned them a little with the iron. That's why I started with skinny jeans that would be hidden!
My first "job" for anyone else. Pants for Julie needed 3 3/4" off. Finished the edge, folded it over about 1/2" and ironed both folds. I even replaced the pleats.
I have to stop shopping. The house is getting cluttered. Example - the dog does not need a treat launcher. My (vague) goals are:
1. stop buying tangible "wants" . Exception is purchases made w/gift cards but I've got to make them good.
2. Declutter, purge, dump, get rid of
3. Have a garage sale in Spring

A Mormon bishop has been ordered to stand trial on charges that he failed to report a child sex abuse case after meeting with a teenage girl in his congregation.
Gordon Lamont Moon, 43, is charged with one third-degree felony count of tampering with a witness, and one class B misdemeanor count of failure to report suspected child abuse.
Eighth District Judge Lyle Anderson took the case under advisement following a December preliminary hearing and handed down a written ruling on the matter last week.
According to a court document, the 17-year-old girl was sexually abused by a younger teen in July. The girl's father later asked Moon to speak with the girl.
"[Moon] said that I need to think about what [the teen boy] is going through, and I don't need to start telling the cops or anything because he's already going to have to go through a bunch of repentance and all that stuff," the girl later told police, according to court documents.
The girl told police in another interview that Moon "told me that he didn't think it was a good idea [to talk to police] until he talked to [the boy and his parents]."
Prosecutors have said Moon was charged because he was the only person to attempt to stop the girl from talking to police — an allegation Moon's attorney denies.
"He did nothing of the sort," defense attorney David Leavitt said. "It's just a classic case of selectively deciding who you are going to prosecute."
Leavitt said prosecutors "view an LDS bishop as having a higher responsibility" to report allegations of abuse than others.
He added that the bishop was at least the fifth person to be told of the alleged abuse and that it had already been reported to police by the time of the meeting.
But in his ruling, Anderson said there had been no evidence presented that Moon knew the alleged abuse had been reported, and he "failed to immediately report" it himself.
Moon is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 23.

Via: Slashfilm | News Archive | Tags: DVD, Rental, Redbox
Childish indeed! From the movie studios' perspective, Red Box is cannibalizing their DVD sales. Also people haven't taken to Blu-Ray as much as they hoped. The fact is that consumers just aren't as interested in buying DVDs anymore. I know several people that have massive DVD collections and the prospect of replacing them with the more expensive Blu-Rays doesn't appeal to them as much. They shouldn't restrict Red-Box and Netflix rentals, because the alternative will be people just illegally downloading and watching those movies instead.
And the limit on bulk purchases is laughable. I could always split up 20 DVDs in 4 transactions, and pay in cash.
The trend is towards digital media over the internet. Why walk to the store to buy the movie, when you can stream it to your computer directly? It would be in the best interests of the MPAA to embrace this trend instead of trying to fight it.
The digital realm will always be fought over. Ideally we would resort to streaming, but that is countered by the talks of bandwidth caps. Do you know how insane that would be to have a bandwidth cap and download HD movies? I like the mail service method, although I don't use it. I may however start heading to Redbox, since they just placed one across the street from my current dorm.
Also, most people that buy a dvd only watch it once anyway. So renting will always be for the majority.
This is called shooting yourself in the foot. I would compare this to the McMillan books debacle currently playing at Amazon. Mcmillian became a sign on iPad supporter, there the ones we saw the exec on the news conference the night before the actual Apple conference talking about how cool the iPad would be.
With what I see now as the reaction to a wide negative reaction by the market there flipping out. Therefore there making Amazon raise there (Mcmillans directly) E-Book prices by as much as 50%. This is insane because an E-Book costs the publisher close to or less than nothing, because it is already paid for by initial release.
The provider reaction much like this actually handicap's the platform for them, much like music execs vs mp3 did for CD's. This as is current now at least to the greater part slows down said industry in adoption as well as in new market model introduction and therefore future profit. When they realize this and adapt to the business model becomes current and everyone is at least somewhat happy and profitable.
I personally see this as stupidity in refusal to change. Wake up people and adapt and continue. It is going to happen regardless of what you wish. As for Mcmillan I think they should be actively protested, and people should refuse to bye anything from them. They are trying to cover there own butt which there afraid of loosing, although last week they were all fine with it.
Right now their seeing the market reaction to the iPad and loosing it, much like this mess with the movie companies. They now realize an iPhone user is going to get there books for next to nothing. So they cannibalize the iPad and in turn Amazon (roughly the largest e-book distributor) with there demands. In reaction and fear that no one is going to buy an iPad and therefore make them rich.
The bad part is in the end they end up retarding the growth of said industry (when they realize that especially in E-books that they as a company are no longer needed), and in the end hurt them selves. I think they should lower the prices to hasten then adoption ratio initially, and then slowly raise the price line and change the distribution model to whats best for them.
For now both providers are going to raise the prices of the market therefore slowing the growth of said market as well as it's adoption rate. In the end they accomplish nothing but as I said shooting them selves in the foot. Movies especially still need production companies to make the media, whereas both music, and E-book's in all reality don't, and can be done by the artist or author entirely by them selves, and in the end the make considerably more money.
Stephen king did it (although while remaining with his publisher), as did The musical group Bare naked Ladies, who in the end realized there profit to cost ratio as well as the money in their pockets went up considerably without the publishing body.
The movie pukes are not known for doing the right thing,... why should they start now?
Creating a rival company to RedBox is in fact a good idea and that's why they'll scoff at it.
BluRay prices are almost the same as DVD prices now, so I'm buying them when I can. But I'll never be able to afford to replace all of my DVD's with new tech. So I'm stuck with DVD's mostly, and I do not mind at all!
Yay greedy media companies. I can see that they are using these methods to front their quote unqoute anti-piracy movement. But this is putting a big impact on the legit people who rent movies through Redbox or Netflix. People use these services to keep up with media they want to watch while reducing the time and cost to go buy it or go to your video rental place. Hopefully they will cut back on these fierce rules to do right by their customers.
I myself prefer to have physical media cause I may want to access that media at different dates and you can't always hope that the rental service or streaming will be there.

Alesis' TapeLink USB
If you did a lot of cassette recording pre-millennium, chances are you've got piles of cassette tapes in the house, whether they're from bootlegs you made at the local club, your own band's garage jamming or maybe even your toddler chattering away into a microphone.
The Alesis TapeLink USB digital archiving cassette deck lets you preserve all of those memories if you want to burn them to CD, store them on a PC or listen to them on your iPod.
The TapeLink USB is a dual deck that has dubbing and playback, and connects straight to a computer via USB (and what it says is typical plug-and-play operation). The audio output comes in 16-bit, 44.1 kHz flavor so your recordings are digitized in CD-quality, and it works with metal and CrO2 cassettes.
Other features include:
The deck includes a software suite with EZ Tape Converter, Audacity audio editing and BIAS SoundSoap SE professional noise reduction to your recordings will sound like they've gone through the rigors of a professional editing studio.
Alesis says the TapeLink USB is available now at musical instrument and pro audio retailers with an MSRP of $299 and estimated street price of $199.

These wool shawls are still available in Estonia and can be square, rectangular, or triangular. The unique feature of this special type of Estonian lace is the small nupp - a "button" used to decorate openwork or outline special patterns. The body of the scarf shown here is knitted to the desired dimensions, then stitches are picked up from all edges and the decorative edging is worked in the round."

On vacation I was surprised when we walked into a California In-N-Out to find all the calories posted on the menu.
I usually get the burger protein style (meaning wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun), but I never knew how many calories it was saving me. It was a bunch. The posted calories also made me reconsider what I ordered for the kids. (Walsh asked for the double-double which weighed in at 670 calories! That's like a third to a fourth of all the calories he should have in one day!)
Later in the trip we ate a Panda Express and seeing the calories completely changed what I ordered. It was great to feel like I made a healthier choice.
California has a state law that requires restaurants with more than 20 locations to post calories on the menu.
I found online that a federal law about posting calories was supposed to go into effect but I don't think it did because we don't have it where I live and I don't

Certified financial planner Wes Moss provides personal finance advice and accessible investment strategies. His guest post appears here weekly.
The end of the year is a natural time for reflection, to look back at the past 12 months and assess our performance and progress in every aspect of life. I spend a great deal of time trying to figure out what financial strategies were most effective in helping our clients move toward their financial goals.
Guess what? I come up with many of the same answers every December! And that's a good thing. It shows that a commitment to the fundamentals of personal investing will serve you well, regardless of the economic weather. Here are four of those perennial truths:
1. You Gotta Believe. Because retirement seems so far away and/or unattainable, some people write it off as an impossible dream or simply choose to ignore it. They don't plan for it. They don't save for it. They don't invest for it. Big mistake. As Henry Ford said, "Whether you believe you can, or you can't – you're right."
Retirement is possible! In my work as a financial advisor I congratulate a steady stream of people in their 60's and 70's who have stopped working (by choice) and are off to start living life on their own terms. Who are these people? Business tycoons? Pro athletes? Nope. They are your neighbors, regular folks at all levels of income who made a commitment at some point to get the fundamentals right.
2. 401Ks Rule. Sign up for your company 401K plan – right now. Maximum contributions are $16,500 and $22,000, depending on your age. Try to contribute at least what your company is matching with "free money." Many plans match 50% of the first 6% of your salary deferrals. If you put in 6% of your salary, your company will tack on another 3%, putting you at a very respectable 9% savings rate for the year.
As a rule of thumb, if you save 10% or more of your income for 30 years, you will have saved enough to pay yourself a "salary" in retirement comparable to what you earned on the job.
Remember, too, that 401K contributions are pre-tax, meaning every dollar you put in a 401K account reduces your taxable income by a dollar.
3. Set it and Forget It. Dollar Cost Averaging is a disciplined approach to investing that helps take the emotion (fear and hubris, mostly) out of your decisions, and allows you to smooth out the inevitable ups and downs of the market.
Here's how it works: Instead of plopping your entire nest egg into a mutual fund or basket of stocks all at once, you trickle your money into those investments in a series of same-sized regularly timed (monthly or quarterly) share purchases. You make your scheduled investment whether the market is up or down.
If you had invested $100 in the S&P 500 Jan 1, 2008, today it would be worth $92, a loss of about 8%. However, if you added $25 over each of the four quarters of 2008, for a total of $100, today that investment would be worth $103, a return of 3%. Why the difference? Because dollar cost averaging forced you to buy shares at lower prices as the market went down in 2008. As a result, you had more shares in your portfolio when the market rebounded in 2009 and 2010.
4. Join the Bucket Brigade. Asset Allocation is a fancy Wall Street term for spreading your money across several different types of investment baskets, or buckets. It's a reliable strategy for protecting yourself against the uncertainties of markets and economies. Simply put, you should be invested in areas of the market place that don't necessarily move in tandem and thus may offset each other's short-term losses.
In the spring/summer of 2010, the stock market fell nearly 17% at one point. That's a nasty hit. But if you also held bonds or bond funds in your 401K during that same time you would have seen an increase of more than 2%. This is a perfect example of how the Income bucket (bond holdings) helped investors at a time when the Growth bucket (stock holdings) struggled. Keep this in mind when making your investment decisions for 2011: Don't have all of your eggs in one bucket.

Good advice. I wish Wes Moss had been around 30 years ago when I started out in the "real world" after mooching off my parents through college.

Set it and forget it is great advice. Your nest egg is quietly growing for you.

Does it make sense to defer taxes into a 401k if you will be at the same or higher bracket when you retire? I am pretty confident I will be at my current tax bracket or higher in the future so why would I want to put money into my 401k where I can't use it and could pay a higher tax in the future?
With all the unfunded liabilities our Federal Government is responsible for, don't you think tax brackets will increase in the future.

Re: Get the Facts. This is exactly why I look for all things Roth. I know I'm paying taxes for it now and my rIRA and r401(k) contributions cut directly into my available spending, but for me it's worth the future tax avoidance. In my opinion, Roth anything is the best savings vehicle for anyone under age 30. It's a beautiful thing to know I'll draw tax-free, penalty-free funds during my retirement.
