McClellan Out as White House Shake-Up Continues
The man who has spoken for President Bush for nearly three years is leaving the pressroom podium, as Scott McClellan announces his resignation as White House press secretary. A part of the president's staff since his days as governor of Texas, McClellan became known for the daily briefings in which he often stayed relentlessly "on message."
Speaking alongside McClellan on the White House grounds, the president praised the job McClellan has done. "One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking on chairs in Texas, talking about the good old days," Bush said.
In another White House shift, President Bush's key strategic advisor, Karl Rove, will shed one of his administration jobs to make room for a new deputy chief of staff for policy development. Rove is expected to focus on boosting President Bush's low approval ratings, as well as gettin more involved in Republican elections around the country. Rove has been considered the president's most powerful political strategist for more than 12 years.
The moves are the latest since Josh Bolten became President Bush's new chief of staff. Tuesday, the president nominated U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman to become the White House budget director. Bolten had previously served as director of the Office of Management and Budget.

The renowned Stockholm studio Form Us With Love is launching a tiered spun metal fixture for Finnish brand One Nordic at Stockholm Furniture Fair this week, at Stockholmsmässan.
The Levels lamps are made in three parts that stack inside each other for transportation but can be assembled without tools.The folded-over rim of each part allows the shades to hang from each other.
At the factory, the metal sheets used for the lampshades are spun and pushed around a rotating mandrel until they reach perfect circle forms.
They position themselves between high design and flatpack. One Nordic launched at last year's Stockholm Furniture fair with the aim of "shipping as little air as possible" while still making their products simple and intuitive to assemble.

On what is supposed to be a joyful day Cassidy is struggling with her self worth. Every girl dreams of the fairy tale wedding. For Cassidy, she wants a small intimate gathering not the hustle and bustle of a high end gathering. Believing she is not worthy of Zach, Cassidy runs. Little does Zach know that outside factors played in the leaving of Cassidy. Zach will need to fight the biggest fight of his life to show Cassidy all that their love encompasses.
D. Kelly knows how to give a novel that will have the readers swooning for the man that Zach represents. Fans will see another great story by D. that shows the strength that love gives to two deserving people. The characters involved in Chasing Cassidy add richness to the story line. The conflicts are not over the top, yet they are heartbreaking. Cassidy has demons that will take the love of her friends to overcome. Can Zack help Cassidy rid herself her past?
Cassidy Pope moved into her grandmother house after she passed away. Once they moved in her world changes and not for the better. Her father started drinking and became both physically and mentally abusing her. The only thing that makes living there good is her 2 best friends. Zachary and Rylee. Cassidy spends all her time at their house.
Zack knew the minute he saw Cassidy dad beating her in the back of their car that he needed to protect her. The next day he sent his sister to go see if Cassidy could come out and play was the best thing he ever did. They became best friends and he fell in love with her.
Cassidy grew up with Zack and Rylee. Both of their families were rich. Zack, Rylee and Cassidy all went to a great school. That was the only thing her parents did for her. They drank away the rest of it. Even though she grew up with the Stafford family she never felt like she belonged with that type of surroundings.
Zack and Cassidy had been together and in love. Zack did his best to show Cassidy how much he loves her and only her. That without her his life wouldn't be the same. He finally got her to agree to marry him and that's when things took a turn.
Cassidy already felt like she didn't belong in his world. His mother spent every waking moment to remind Cassidy she's not good enough to be a Stafford. On their wedding day Cassidy looks in the mirror and all she hears is everything Zack mom has been saying to her and everything her dad has said.Read more ›
Cassidy Pope has a complicated past. At the age of 6, young Cassidys father began to verbally and physically abuse her. Cassidy was shown no love and affection be either parent. Being told she is unlovable, and that love does not exist. After witnessing Cassidys first beating, Cassidys neighbor, Zachary Stafford, made it his mission to befriend her. The best part of her life is her friendship with Zachary and his twin sister, Rylee. As years pass, Cassidy and the Stafford twins become best friends. And Cassidy not only gives Zack her friendship. but her love as well. Although Cassidy tries to play strong, the years of abuse have turned Cassidy into a woman filled with insecurities who doesn't believe she deserves love.
"A bride shouldn't be sad on her wedding day."
But on the day of their wedding, Cassidys insecurities are heightened. Looking at herself in the mirror, she sees beauty, but her eyes, they are sad. 300 guests waiting at the most lavish and exquisite wedding, a huge wedding Cassidy didn't want. She believes he deserves better, someone who can live up to his mothers expectations, someone to thrive being a part of his social circle, someone who fits into the high-status life life which accompanies being a Stafford, not a measly Kindergarten teacher. Thanks to Zacks mother, Priscilla Stafford, Cassidy is constantly reminded that this is not her, she is not good enough for Zack. And minutes before the wedding, Cassidy does what she does best, runs!Read more ›
"My life isn't complete without you in it. I know love is real because of you. I am loved because of you, and most importantly I can love because of you."
This was written very well, the characters were developed well enough where I was able to fall in love with them and feel what they were feeling. Cassidy is a broken girl who has always tried her best to live her life and move forward with people who cared about her. There is abuse, Cassidy has been abused by her father most of her life and this is a story about how a woman tries to overcome the emotional and physical abuse she's live through. Zack is a beautiful human with a huge heart, he's sexy, rich and absolutely amazing. Cassidy is a fool to have left him, but I also can understand that there are other factors weighing in. I enjoyed reading Cassidy and Zack's story and I'm sure others will love it as well. Ms. Kelly always gives me the warm and fuzzies as well as the ugly cry, but Chasing Cassidy was all about the warm and fuzzies and I enjoyed every second of it.
"You own my heart and soul. I'm yours, too…forever."

Judge slams proposed privacy advocate
WASHINGTON — The U.S. judiciary told Congress on Tuesday it opposes the idea of having an independent privacy advocate on the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, while members of Congress lauded the idea at a Capitol Hill hearing.
Speaking for the entire U.S. judiciary, U.S. District Judge John D. Bates sent a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee saying appointing an independent advocate to the secret surveillance court is unnecessary and possibly counterproductive, and he slammed other key reforms as adding too heavy a caseload to the secret court's work. In FISA court hearings, judges only hear from the government seeking a spy warrant.
Bates said opening the proceeding to an advocate for privacy in general — who would never meet the suspect or be able to defend the charges against him — wouldn't create the kind of back and forth seen in open criminal or civil court proceedings.
"Given the nature of FISA proceedings, the participation of an advocate would neither create a truly adversarial process nor constructively assist the courts in assessing the facts," he wrote.
Members of the presidential task force that recommended such an advocate defended the proposal before the Senate Judiciary Committee, as did Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., during a hearing about the NSA's surveillance programs Tuesday.
Cass Sunstein, a member of the Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, said the secret court should not be making decisions on law or policy without an opposition voice.

AbstractProviding power for dismounted soldiers on long-duration missions remains a critical technical challenge. Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells convert hydrogen fuel directly to electric power and offer a lightweight and efficient power source for individual soldiers. However, technology for storing the hydrogen fuel is still too heavy to meet the Army's mission requirements. We propose to develop a very lightweight, solid hydrogen storage technology based on ammonia borane (AB) (H3NBH3). Our innovation is a unique packaging and thermal control system that will produce hydrogen on demand through controlled thermal decomposition of AB. This approach can enable hydrogen fuel cartridges for individual soldier power systems that meet the Army's challenging goals for hydrogen density. In Phase I we will prove the feasibility of our approach through laboratory demonstrations of hydrogen generation using a prototypical packaging approach, then use data from these tests to produce a mechanical design of a lightweight hydrogen fuel cartridge. In Phase II we will build a complete, prototype hydrogen generator and demonstrate its use as a fuel source for a PEM fuel cell.

Product of the Week- DryAfloat bag
by Peter Franklin on 9 Dec 2011
DryAfloat - space for mobile phone, keys, wallet etc .. .
Never have to worry about losing your mobile phone or your keys overboard again! Sea-Things, who design and market eco-friendly carrying bags specifically for life on the water, have announced a new product with a very user friendly application and wallet friendly price tag! Great Christmas present too!
The Sea-Things DryAfloat Pack, will safely store a mobile phone, plus a wallet or pocket book, a bunch of keys, and reading glasses etc. all in a fully waterproof PVC enclosure, which is triple sealed against water ingress and some great innovative features which make this product a potential winner:
1. It has a simple manual inflator providing the bag and its contents with complete buoyancy.
2. It is fitted with all round SOLAS grade reflective tape for night visibility.
3. The clear panel construction allows the user to see the contents.
4. You can press keys on the phone without removing the phone from the bag.
5. An adjustable lanyard is fitted for carrying purposes.
Sea-Things LLP Managing Partner, Peter Franklin said; 'We have added this product to our recycled and reusable bag range, based on our own yachting experience and feedback from other yachtsmen.
'Once we started talking with boaters about carrying stuff around when afloat, or going ashore in the tender, we soon found at that there was a real demand for a practical and cost effective solution to the problem of damage by sea water, or worse still, total loss of valuable personal effects such as smart phones, wallets, and keys etc.'
The DryAfloat retails at just 6.20 GBP (about $10)
If your local marine store does not carry the DryAfloat bag, it can be purchased online at: www.sea-things.eu or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Hot answers tagged tallit-gadol
In 21, 3 the Rama wrote: שלא ליתנו לכובסת גויה . Not to give Talit with tsitsit to a Gentile washwerwoman {Mishna Berura: instead, remove the Tsitsit before}. In Gemara, there seems to be an additional problem (Menachot 43a) {note that the cases of Gemara are when a man wants to sell a Talit, which the Shulchan Aruch treats in 20, 2, not when ...
Stripes on Tallis states that the Pri Megadim stated that the custom was to use blue in his tim (mid to late 1700's). Apparently both customs were extant long before. I saw an article that Yigal Yadin found stripes on taleisim (like today) at Matzada but I lost the reference and do not recall if he mentioned the colors. Peri Megadim (Eshel Avraham 9:6) ...
The main difference between the two is size. The Rashab Tallis is significantly wider. Ben's Tallit shop says it is the widest that he sells ("even wider than a size 90 Yemenite Tallit"). It is therefore significantly more expensive because it has the extra material. It is a recent thing to have such variations marketed at all. There are slight variations ...
The concept is to fulfill all opinions concerning the concept of being completely wrapped (עטיפה גמורה) by the talit. This is being wrapped at least at the time of the blessing completely around the head and the majority of the body, after the custom of the children of Yishmael. This subject can be found, for example, in Shulchan Aruch HaRav, Orach Chaim, ...
The Mishna Brurah 8:4 writes at the end: משמע בגמרא שבחור לא היה מכסה ראשו בטלית אפילו הוא ת"ח Loose translation : it seems from the gemara that an unmarried person shouldn't cover their head with a tallis even if they are a great Torah Scholar. This seems to be the overwhelming custom of Ashkenazim. For Sefardim it seems that it is encouraged to do so ...
Should you say a blessing on a tallit gadol when you are performing a task in a shul that requires one due to a custom?
Bottom line it depends what you're putting it on for. From Dose of Halacha: ..The Mishna Berura (14:11) writes that when one borrows a friend's Tallis to Daven for the Amud, one should make a Bracha. The Aruch Hashulchan (OC 91:2) and Kaf Hachaim (OC 147:4) write that one who receives an Aliya (or any other Kibbud) should wear a Tallis out of respect for ...
The Shulchan Aruch 25:2 says that one should put on a Tallis Kattan and Tefillin at home, walk to Shul in them, and put His Tallis Gadol on in Shul. Other opinions say to put on the Tallis Gadol and Tefillin on at home, and walk to Shil like that. The Mishnah Brura 25:8 says that if one is worried of passing by Goyim or going through unclean places, he ...
The Mechaber writes that clothing whose corners are leather (a material not Mechuyav in Tzitzis) while the rest is from cloth, is Mechuyav in Tzitzis, and the opposite is Patur. The Maggen Avraham writes that this is because we look at the majority of the cloth's makeup. This Halachah is based on the Mishnah in Kla'im, which says that regarding Shatnez ...
Should you say a blessing on a tallit gadol when you are performing a task in a shul that requires one due to a custom?
Assuming that your question asks in general, if one who has already made a blessing earlier in the day on either the tallit katan or the tallit gadol, the answer is in Shulchan Aruch OC 8. He states that whenever there is a hefsek (interruption), one must make a new bracha on the tallit. I think Magen Avraham does mention a possible exception regarding the ...
Perhaps the main function of the tallith gadol is as a beged meyuchad l'tefilla (a garment designated for prayer), as a sign of respect when we stand before the King (see e.g. Orach Chaim 91:2; see also Taz Orach Chaim 21:3 cited by the Aruch HaShulchan OC 21:6 who for this reason disallowed its wearing into an outhouse; See also Taz OC Yoreh Deah 283:3 who ...
The Minhag of my family going back more than 100 years is indeed to use a Tallit. I don't know the source, but we come back from Shklov in Lita.
i asked Rav Avraham Osdoba he told me he does not see why not, so yes it is permitted
Here is a link that shows you the Munkaczer pattern.

As the other answers indicate, the scarf way to wear it happened in certain other communities as other times. I haven't seen any point of connection between the modern practice and these isolated instances. The most likely origin of the Ashkenazi Reform/Conservative way of wearing it as a scarf is the imitation of the Christian Stole. The Reform synagogue, ...
my inkling is to say you should not stop wearing it based on the idea of maalin bakodesh v'ein yaridin (one goes up in holiness but no down) The idea being that once you accept upon yourself wearing a tallis you wouldn't stop. Not the same but related is a divorced man or a widow would not stop wearing his tallis.

The National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV) provides a free, fast emergency injunction service to survivors of domestic violence regardless of their financial circumstances, race, gender or sexual orientation.
Our service allows anyone to apply for an injunction within 24 hours of first contact (in most circumstances). We work in close partnership with the police, local firms of solicitors and other support agencies (Refuge, Women's Aid etc) to help survivors obtain speedy protection.
"This is the single most impactive step forward in the protection of victims of domestic violence and their families. The speed at which orders can be secured, orders which are fair, necessary and proportionate, is unrivalled. These orders are the difference between a victim believing the police can help them, and knowing that not only can the police provide immediate response, NCDV will provide a professional, fair, and qualified service to protect our most vulnerable members of society. Thank you!"

I will never forget your help. It was in 2014 and I was deeply traumatized by awful domestic abuse. You helped me to get the non molestation order. I would have never been able to do this on my own. You are all angels.
I feel that you provide an invaluable service that is easy to access
So easy and so helpful. NCDV helps manage the risk to victims of domestic crime and with only 30 seconds of time spent to complete the referral this is an incredible tool
I often complete referrals for domestic abuse victims that I encounter in my role. I feel it is a great service as having the NCDV contact the victims directly there is a better chance of them engaging with the services. Also, getting updates from NCDV helps with being able to keep up to date on the safeguarding of your victims.
Excellent quick and efficient service. thank you

Sony Reader Daily Edition PRS-900BC eBook reader
Slow navigation hampers the Sony Reader Daily Edition
- Great multimedia features, wireless access to e-books and daily newspapers
- Store interface is clunky, newspaper support depends on network coverage quality
Bottom Line
Sony's first wireless eBook reader, the Sony Reader Daily Edition PRS-900BC, is pricey but it offers first-rate newspaper support.

"A great read is a few seconds away," proclaims the Sony Reader Daily Edition screen as it tries to connect to the Sony store--or to do anything else involving the unit's wireless Internet access. Unfortunately, in my tests, I had to wait a lot longer than a few seconds.
Looking for the best eBook reader? Before you buy an Amazon Kindle, Apple iPad or Sony Reader check out our eBook reader comparison guide to find out the best features you should compare.
That's too bad, because the Sony Reader Daily Edition (US$400) has content that I would love to download if doing so were less of a hassle. The Daily Edition is Sony's first e-reader to provide wireless access to content (via AT&T's 3G wireless network), and Sony has sought to capitalise on that feature by offering not just a bookstore but wireless delivery of newspapers, either by subscription or as single copies. Several big names in daily print U.S. journalism--including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal--are for sale in Sony's Reader Store, which you can access from the device.
But 3G wireless service was spotty at best in my home in downtown San Francisco. Whatever I tried to do, I received frequent messages advising me to check whether I'd turned on the wireless switch (you get both a hardware switch on the bottom edge of the device and a software setting for toggling the switch on). I managed to subscribe to the digital New York Times through the Sony store, but at first I couldn't download it: A message reported that the download had been interrupted and needed to be restarted from my account page. (In other locations, though the unit had fewer foibles, it was painfully slow to connect.)
By the way, you can transfer commercial and free content to the Reader after using the included USB cable to attach the device to your PC. In fact, this is the only way to patronise bookstores other than Sony's (you can buy from any e-tailer that supports ePub with Adobe Content Server 4 encryption). Like other Sony Readers, the Daily Edition also supports AAC, BMP, GIF, JPEG, MP3, PDF, PNG, RTF, and TXT file formats, plus Sony's old BBeB eBook format, in case you have older eBooks on hand.
Wireless services and a slightly larger (7-inch-diagonal) E-Ink screen that supports 16 shades of gray are the chief distinctions between the Daily Edition and the Touch Edition released last fall: The latter has a 6-inch-diagonal, eight-shade-grayscale display. But the extra real estate mainly extends the height of the Daily Edition, so it seems rather tall and narrow for an eBook reader. It's also a tad fatter (0.6 inch thick) and heavier (12.75 ounces, including the included black cover) than the Touch Edition (0.4 inch thick and 10.1 ounces). Sony offers a cool cover with a built-in reading light for the Daily Edition, as a $60 option.
Like the Touch Edition, the Daily Edition has a touchscreen that you can manipulate with your fingers or with a stylus that slides into the device's upper left corner. You can turn pages forward (but not backward) with a finger swipe, and you get to choose whether to use left-to-right or right-to-lift action for this purpose. This feature generally worked well, but the device was unresponsive to my swipes intermittently, and ultimately I found it less annoying to depend on the hardware page-turn buttons below the display.
You fire up the Reader by sliding a button on the upper left edge. Doing so brings up a Home screen with large icons, starting with a thumbnail cover of your most recent reading material on top and your other available books in the middle. At the bottom are icons for accessing your periodicals, other collections, and notes; and below them are tabs leading to the online bookstore, applications, and settings. Navigating among options seemed a bit slow, but not as slow as on other devices.
Sony supplies several built-in applications--an image viewer, a handwriting utility for capturing notes or doodles, a memo pad, a dictionary, and a music player. I particularly liked the handwriting utility, which did a nice job of interpreting my scrawls and sketching. The Reader remains primarily a reading device, but the included apps complement that primary purpose (the dictionary, for instance, can come in quite handy).
The device comes with a standard headphone jack, and music sounded good through my earbud headphones--this Reader, unlike some others, has enough oomph to deliver loud audio when turned all the way up. (Sony has indicated that it will introduce additional mobile apps going forward.)
I was less impressed by the shopping experience that the device permits. The store took a while to display, and when it came up, it was neither intuitively organised nor particularly attractive. At the top were several text links, some of them rather cryptic: Subjects (which lists general book categories), Sections (which includes things like bargain-priced books), Periodicals (newspapers, for example), and Bundles (several books sold together). Next to these was an unappealing reproduction of a New York Post front page.
Below came icons for various best-sellers and then for new arrivals. And below those, a small banner ad appeared. Sony clearly has some distance to go before it catches up with Amazon's excellently organised Kindle storefront.
The newspaper features, though, are compelling. The longer display dimensions mean that you can view more newspaper headlines on a single page. And if you subscribe to a newspaper and leave the device's wireless adapter turned on overnight, you'll have the new day's edition waiting for you when you wake up (Sony says that the online Wall Street Journal even offers an automatic afternoon update for its Daily Edition customers). You can also opt to keep several days' worth of content loaded on your Daily Edition, so you can catch up on the news at your leisure (the device has approximately 2GB of internal memory and can accommodate an SD or Memory Stick expansion card if that's not enough).
But if you do keep your wireless service active overnight, be sure to keep the charging adapter connected so you can replenish the power that the wireless radio gobbles up. Most crucially, you should check the strength of the AT&T 3G signal in your neighborhood, because the whole scheme depends on robust 3G service. It's one thing to head over to an area with good reception when you feel like buying a book, but quite another thing to miss out on your daily newspaper because of poor AT&T reception. (And I do blame AT&T, since I had no trouble downloading content to my older, Sprint-provisioned Amazon Kindle 2.)
Oddly, even though the Daily Edition uses a GSM service, it doesn't currently support international roaming (which is the best reason to go with GSM technology). For now, at least, you can purchase and download content wirelessly only when you're in the United States and within range of a decent AT&T signal. Since the newspaper support is the best reason to shell out $400 for this device, I'd be wary of making the investment unless I was confident of the quality of the available network support.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

LEF-1, lymphocyte enhancer-binding factor-1, is a member of the LEF-1/TCF (T cell-specific transcription factor) family of high mobility group (HMG) transcription factors. LEF-1/TCF is downstream of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. LEF-1 requires Wnt signaling and stabilized β-catenin to express the hair-specific keratin genes and control hair differentiation. Tcf3/LEF-1 complex has a key role in controlling skin stem cells differentiation. Thus this study amplified LEF-1 cDNA by RTPCR from Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat (Capra hircus) to produce a transgenic goat with increased cashmere production. The molecular characterization of the LEF-1 gene was described. The amplified fragment is 1132bp (HM059927) in length, including an ORF of 1116 bp corresponding to a polypeptide of 371 amino acids residues with 41.2 kDa predicted molecular mass. The full cDNA nucleotide sequence has a 98% identity with bovine and 94% identity with transcript variant 2 of human. The amino acid sequence is 98% identical to the human isoform 2. Furthermore, a representative HMG-box and a β-catenin binding domain were predicted via the NCBI CDD (Conserved Domain Database). The goat LEF-1 gene cDNA was cloned and its molecular characterization was analyzed by bioinformatics. To our knowledge this is the first reported.
