For those asking about pay dates for HLNQs, here is a "cut & paste" from HLNQ Prospectus, page S-6:..."at a rate of 8% per annum, payable on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, the first payment to be made on November 15, 2001, to the person in whose name the bonds are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1. "If any February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date.But more interesting, starting on Feb 6, 2012, the volume for "trading" of the HLNQs as reported on FINRA has been 10X the volume previously reported. Its as if some institutional traders had just opened the window for ownership. Prior to 02-06-2012, the occasional trade was for very low volume, mostly under 1000#. Now the volume is at 10,000 to 50,000, with some over 100.000 like today's 105,233, and the prices varying from $20+, to all the way to $26, but mostly in the $20 - $22 range, and it has DAILY since Feb 06.Can't help but wonder if Blackstone has some impending plans for Hilton, now that hotel rev-par is back to 2007 levels for the industry, as reported by WSJ........ stayin' tuned...:-)
Jim,The higher trading volume suggests Blackstone may be contemplating a redemption for the balance that wasn't tendered in 2007. BX is paying 8% on this bond issue and would have no trouble rolling it over with a new issue that has a lower coupon rate such as 7%.Tony

What does
{{ ... }} block mean in the following code?
class X {
private Y var1;
private X() {
Z context = new Z(new SystemThreadPool()) {{
var1 = new Y();
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What does
It's called double curly brace initialization. (EDIT: Link removed, archived here)
It means you're creating an anonymous subclass and the code within the double braces is basically a constructor. It's often used to add contents to collections because Java's syntax for creating what are essentially collection constants is somewhat awkward.
So you might do:
instead of:
I actually don't like that and prefer to do this:
So it doesn't make much sense in that case whereas it does for, say, Maps, which don't have a convenient helper.
The "outer" braces mean that you're making an anonymous subclass, the second braces are the object initializer. The initializer is run before the class' constructor, but after any
Consider this class:
It could be rewritten as:
If the initializer can throw a checked exception, all constructors must declare they can throw it.
You are creating an anonymous class and using the class Instance initializer idiom, like this:
As mentioned in previous answers, double curly brace initialization is correct.
It uses a specific technique to Initializing Instance Members in Java. It is a shorthand way for defining in a class definition, a shared block of code that will run when any of the class constructor is activated.
I am adding the link to the official Java documentations describing it for more broader view on the subject.

All year I've been waiting for this event. I've been visualizing myself at the final table, heads-up with the chip lead and all-in with the best hand nearly every single day for an entire year. And when push came to shove, I lasted all of five hours and played about 150 hands.
In the days leading up to the tournament, I made mental notes of the keys that would lead to success:
• Play tight in the early levels
• Play from position
• Avoid playing all easily dominated hands
• Keep the pot small
• Don't make any "big mistakes"
• Avoid bluffing when at all possible -- they just don't fold
• Make it to the fourth level, the ante-level ($100-$200 with a $25 ante) with an average stack
• Before every hand is dealt, repeat my mantra to myself: "I play tight, aggressive poker and I make winning decisions."
The blinds started at $25-$50, $10,000 in starting chips. I drew a table of unknowns. Three of them asked me to autograph their entry form as soon as they sat down. I liked my table very much. In the first two orbits, I identified five "weak" spots that I could exploit. The guys on my immediate left were particularly easy marks -- blind stealing should be a piece of cake.
Hand No. 1
Around 30 minutes into the tournament, I picked up A-10 offsuit in the big blind. A loose, overly aggressive player in early position limped in for $50, the small blind called, and I rapped the table and checked, despite the fact I thought there was a good possibility I had the best hand: "Keep the pot small."
The flop came down Ac-Ad-4d and the small blind checked to me. There was $150 in the pot, and I thought there was a good chance that the preflop limper would bet if I checked, then I could check-raise and find out exactly where I stood. If I bet out and got raised from the limper, this hand will play very poorly unless I can pair my 10 or the board -- I'll really have no idea if I'm ahead. I checked, and the limper checked.
The turn card, the Qc, didn't hurt my hand a bit. The small blind fired $150 at the pot. I felt like he was just trying to pick up the pot and didn't really have anything at all. At this point, I felt like I could raise, or I could just call and hope he bluffs at the river. "Keep the pot small, avoid losing chips with easily dominated hands," I said to myself when I just called his bet. To my surprise, the preflop limper raised to $600. The small blind quickly folded. Does limper have A-K, A-Q or A-J and decided to slow-play? He might also have a flush draw and be making some sort of play. Regardless, raising just can't be that great a play. If I have the best hand and he's making some sort of move with a Q-J or K-Q, I will not win another chip from him by raising. If he's on a flush draw, he only has eight outs and is 16 percent to win with a diamond on the river. "Keep the pot small, let him bluff off his chips on the river if a non-diamond hits the board on the river, make a defensive bet of $1,000 and see what happens," I told myself. I called his raise, and I was nearly certain he would put me on an ace (or, perhaps, a flush draw myself). The river, the 7d, didn't make me particularly happy. I checked. He fired a bet of $1,000 and I had an easy call. Of course, he turned over 8d-5d and won with a suck-out flush on the river.
I hate the way he played this hand. After the post-turn bet of $150 and my call, he was getting 3-to-1 on his money and could easily just call the bet with proper implied odds, no chance of a check-raise. There is very little chance that the small blind bet and I called with hands that we would both be willing to fold to his post-turn raise.
Alas, he was stacking the chips, and I was down to $8,300.
Hand No. 2
We're at Level 2, $50-$100 blinds, and I have $8,500. The same guy from Hand No. 1 limped from first position. Two more players limped from middle position and I looked down on the button to see 5d-3d. Not the greatest hand in the world, but this plays reasonably well against multiple opponents. If I can flop a monster, A-2-4, 2-4-6, 5-5-x, 3-3-x, K-5-3, or any flush, being in position should allow me a chance to extract a lot of chips from a second-best hand. I called the $100, the small blind folded, the big blind checked. Five-way action.
The flop, 7d-5s-4d, was a great flop for my hand -- I have a pair, a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw, with the 6d giving me a straight flush. The same guy from Hand No. 1 who limped under the gun fired $400 at the $275 pot. Perhaps he limped with an overpair? He certainly can't be on a stone cold bluff here because he is facing four players. When everyone folded to me, I had yet another decision to make. Do I call this bet, or raise? If I raise, is there any chance that he will fold an overpair, or is it possible that I'll be facing a reraise? In the end, I decided that he had an overpair and that there was virtually no chance that he'd fold. I called the $400. I felt like my call did not make him particularly happy.
The turn card, the Kc, didn't slow him down a bit. He fired another $1,000 at the pot, giving me 2-to-1 on my money to call. Now, unless he's on K-K, A-A, or a set, a raise here has a decent chance of picking up the pot -- he will have to fold every pocket pair between Queen and eight. Then again, I have about 17 outs against his likely hands (a three, any six, any diamond, and two fives). I calculate that I am about 35 percent to hit my hand on the river, and the pot odds justify a call no matter what he has -- "Keep the pot small," I say as I call.
The river, a complete blank: 9s, a miserable card. My opponent checks to me and I have to decide if I'm going to bluff. I don't think my hand can win unless I bet. To bluff, I'll need to risk about 70 percent of the pot, about $2,200, to be at all credible. I could have many, many different hands on the button in this spot, and it will be very, very difficult for him to call me with 10-10 or even Q-Q. If he was on a bigger flush draw, he'll have to fold as well (though I will likely be bluffing with the best hand). I can definitely get 6-6 to fold. In the end, I decide to fire the bet. The roaming ESPN cameras see the action and rush over, videotaping me and my opponent who goes into "Hollywood mode." I know he's going to make "the big call" as soon as the cameras come over. Sure enough, he does. He flips over K-6 offsuit. Yes, he limped under the gun with K-6 offsuit, and yes, he's stacking my chips and gloating to the cameras. I'm down to $4,000.
Hand No. 3
The blinds are up to $100-$200 and I'm at $3,600. I have 18 big blinds. This is the danger zone: I don't have enough ammo to be able to afford many steal attempts, and with the ante level starting in about 30 minutes, I really need to pick up a pot or two to give myself any kind of shot. In middle position, I find A-Q offsuit. I give a fleeting thought to limping, but decide that I can afford $600 -- if a tight player reraises, I can fold and still have 15 big blinds, if a loose player raises, I can move in and take what I hope will be a 50-50. I need chips when the antes kick in.
A relatively tight player two to my left calls my preflop raise and we see the flop heads up, with me out of position. 8h-2h-2d. I'm done with this hand. I'm not going to lead here -- it's too easy for him to call me with any pocket pair. I am going to save my chips and hope to be able to use my $3,000 more effectively. I check, and he checks behind me. That check from him is somewhat ominous -- most players will take a stab at the pot in that spot, but then again, he might be fearing my check-raise with a hand like 7-7 or 9-9.
The turn card, the Qd, is a very welcome card -- it's the first good thing that has happened to me all tournament. With $1,500 in the pot, I decide on a relatively small bet of $500, leaving me with $2,500. I want him to call me with 9-9, 7-7, 5-5 or other similar hands -- he's drawing very slim, and I'm not at all worried. I'm not at all worried until he raises me $1,500 more to $2,000.
Dear God, can I possibly fold this hand and leave myself with 12 big blinds? Is it really possible he slow-played a hand like A-2? The only real hand that makes sense in this context is a super-slow-play full house like 8-8 (and with that hand, wouldn't he raise a small amount?) or a hand I can beat like 9-9, 10-10 or K-Q. We might even have the same hand, A-Q. In fact, I think A-Q is the most likely hand I'm facing. I just can't see folding here. If I'm calling this bet, I might as well move in. And that is exactly what I do. He beats me to the pot and turns over 8-8 for the flopped full house.
And, with that, my WSOP is finished for 2006. All year I've been looking forward to this event, and now, five hours after the start of play, I'm on my way home. When I arrive, my finacee has a hug, a beer, and a smile on her face. I'm still on tilt, but the tilt fades quickly over the next several hours when I realize how incredibly lucky I am.

City needs building like the Sunflower
Published: Sunday, February 19, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 19, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Hendersonville, a town afraid to grow up. Here we have a person with vision to make this small farm town into something great -- like the sun flower.
The city fathers are sitting on their hands, because they have these antiquated laws about the height of a building. Grow up.
If Charlotte had these building codes, it would be a small town like Hendersonville.
And we all can thank the city fathers for their foresight. What about the small businesses in town that would offer all kinds of services to these new folks in their high-rises?

My wife is refusing to hand over personal property ,no divorce yet she would no allow me access to the house. Property was purchased before marriage
Bankruptcy Attorney
You can go in there and take it out without breaching the peace and the police will likely say that this is proper. Or you can file for divorce an get temporary orders. Best to go in when she is not there or file for divorce. If peace is breached, police may arrest someone.
Child Custody Lawyer
You'll have to file for divorce and get orders allowing you access to your property. Unfortunately it's a free for all at this stage.

Adam Savage gets to see THE Blade Runner blaster which is the one used in the Blade Runner movie. The blaster is owned by an memoribilia collector named Dan Lanigan whom has alot of unbelievable stuff in his collection (let's just say that he also owns the VidPhone that Deckard uses outside Snake Pit when he calls Rachael). Dan has a website you can visit at raiderofthelostprops.com but if you want to see his stuff, check out the video.
Gosh, you've… really got some nice toys here.

The lighting in the room was pretty dim when I took the pictures, but the dress is white, with the gold embroidery detail. I included a picture from my wedding so you can see the train, in the other pictures it is bustled.

COLLEGE STATION (AP) - Hundreds of design proposals for a permanent 1999 Bonfire Memorial at Texas A&M University will be displayed in a campus gallery and a Web site starting today.
The public is invited to share opinions on the 176 proposals, which will be on display through Monday. A nine-member jury will review the proposals and announce four finalists on Nov. 18, the two-year anniversary of the bonfire collapse that killed 12 Aggies and injured 27.
Each finalist will receive $10,000, plus an additional $10,000 to develop his or her design for the second phase of the competition. The winner is scheduled to be announced on March 7, 2002.
The designs can be viewed at the MSC J. Wayne Stark University Center Galleries.
Entrants developed various concepts for the memorial, some incorporating parks or buildings and others including sculptures of the bonfire and the victims, officials said.
The location for the memorial hasn't been decided, but four campus sites have been proposed.

Wilco at the State Theatre, 12/6/11
December 6, 2011
State Theatre, Minneapolis
At their best, Wilco have always effectively straddled the line between dour art-rock and party-starting power pop. The trio of landmark albums making up their "classic" period -- 1996's Being There, 1999's Summer Teeth and 2002's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot -- fused classic-rock with eccentric textures in a manner rarely heard before or since. I had admittedly fallen somewhat out of love with the band that had once been my musical lodestar in the wake of their parting ways with multi-instrumentalist/producer Jay Bennett and a series of diminishing returns albums that either overly emphasized their prickly inscrutable side (2004's A Ghost is Born), or offered up pandering polite folk-pop (2009's Wilco The Album). Having written Wilco off as a band of contented elder statesmen ready to rest on their laurels as they entered late middle age, this year's The Whole Love caught me wholly by surprise. It's easily the best thing they've done since Foxtrot, showcasing a band once again eager to take chances and push boundaries.
If Wilco's set list last night at the State Theater is any indication, perhaps they agree with my summation of their catalog. The band's wide-ranging 130 minute set featured just three songs total from its prior two albums, wisely focusing instead on the strongest tracks fromThe Whole Love
("One Sunday Morning," "It Dawned on Me") alongside their enviably deep back catalog ("I Got You," "Misunderstood," She's a Jar" and "Poor Places" to name just a few). Rather than feeling like an exercise in nostalgia, however, the sextet's revisiting of past material came off as revelatory. Perhaps because half of the members of Wilco's current incarnation (multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone, keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen and guitarist Nels Ciine) weren't around at the time those songs were originally written and recorded. While it undoubtedly took some time for this version of WIlco to gel, they are now are firing on all cylinders.
Likewise, the rhythm section of drummer Glenn Kotche and bassist John Stirratt distinguished itself, with Stiratt's close harmonies on Summerteeth-era classics "She's a Jar" and "I'm Always in Love" sending chills up the spine and Kotche's ever-kinetic presence keeping the crowd engaged and on edge for the entirety of epic rhythm-driven numbers like "Art of Almost."
Clad in a funky fedora and blue/black plaid suit coat, Tweedy rarely spoke, but was clearly happy to be back in a town that's worshipped at his feet long before Wilco tours routinely sold out around the globe. He gave props to the reverent crowd for standing the entirety of their set and referred to Minneapolis as the band's "home away from home." As killer new tracks from the band's latest like "I Might" made clear in the live setting, Wilco has once again found sure footing by embracing chaos and spiking sugary-sweet melodies with blasts of serrated edge guitar work and complex and conflicted lyricism.
Critic's Bias: Wilco's Being There was my melodic gateway drug to an entire world of alternative music as a 15-year-old suburbanite. No band mattered to me more from 1996 to 2002.
The Crowd: A mix of NPR-loving oldsters for whom Wilco is one of a few shows on the yearly concert calendar and fresh-faced youngsters. In other words, those who have their act together enough to log on to tickemaster and buy tickets the moment they go on sale.
Overheard in the crowd: "I can't leave shows early anymore, I once left a Lenny Kravtiz show early and Prince came out during the encore!"
Random notebook dump: Nick Lowe put on a stirring opening set performed solo acoustically. Highlights include a cover of longtime friend and collaborator Elvis Costello's "Allison" and "All Men Are Liars" a witty send-up of male sentimentality that effectively mocked '80s-one-hit-wonder-turned-internet meme Rick Astley.
Set Length: Approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes with two encores

I agree with "northoil" that Kellogg effectively controls just over 50% of the stock.
The new SEC filing says Kellogg has 30% of the stock, and that IAT (Kellogg's company) separately has 20% of the stock.
In that filing, it states:
"By virtue of his position with IAT, Mr. Kellogg may be considered to indirectly beneficially own such shares. Mr. Kellogg disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares owned by IAT. In addition, Mr. Kellogg disclaims beneficial ownership of 1,200,000 Shares owned by his wife, Cynthia." (So, his wife owns another 2% of the stock...)
So, Kellogg denies ownership of the 20% of shares held by IAT. I think that was done to avoid any potential adverse consequences of any one individual owning more than 50% of a stock (some people on this board may know why you want to stay under 50%).
What this means -- there is much more room for Kellogg to buy more shares -- he could increase his personal shares from 30% to 49%, for example.
Also note that insiders own almost 10% of the stock, if I remember correctly. So, assuming Kellogg/management hold their shares, the tradeable float is getting to be very small (less than 40% of outstanding shares, and possibly much lower due to future purchases by Kellogg, and/or due to a few institutions holding for the long term...)
on 62.5 mil of shares, and I expect that number will be a bit on the low side with future reporting, the float after Smith, sons, Kellogg, and two others is today at roughly 34 million shares. My reading of the documents is that the selling and buying of PK puts him at roughly 30%; a bit more if you include his wife's stock. If PK owns 50%, I would be most surprised. Has anyone figured out from the recent filing how and why MIL sold stock to a director at $5++ ?
Hi Helmut, good to see you after so long. Bermuda filings show a sale and transfer by PK. He boosts his cost basis. 30%. Apparently had losses to use.
PK owns 30%. the filing reports the consolidated holdings and is not a new position.
perhaps none of you have ever been party to a 13/D filing. THE HIGHEST NUMBER IS THE COMBINED HOLDING OF ALL PARTIES!! THE OTHER NUMBERS REFLECT THE HOLDINGS OF THOSE ISOLATED PARTIES. YOU DON'T ADD UP THOSE SEPARATE NUMBERS. THE BIGGEST NUMBER IS THE TOTAL. 'NUFF SAID. NOWHERE NEAR 50%. IT IS JUST OVER 30% THAT'S IT!!!.
From the filing:
Names of Reporting Persons : Peter R. Kellogg
Sole Voting Power 19,346,159
Shared Voting Power (…zero…)
Sole Dispositive Power 19,346,159
Aggregate Amount Beneficially Owned 19,346,159
Percent of Class 30.9%
Type of Reporting Person IN (Individual)
Clearly, Kellogg owns, controls and votes 31% as an individual.
For IAT: Names of Reporting Persons: IAT Reinsurance Company Ltd.
Number of Shares Beneficially Owned 12,974,562
Sole Voting Power 12,974,562
Percent of Class 20.7%
Who is IAT? From the filing: "Mr. Kellogg is the SOLE owner of IAT's voting stock, is a member of IAT's board of directors, and is the President and CEO of IAT. " Further, the business address for Mr. Kellogg and IAT is 48 Wall Street, 30th floor, New York, NY 10005. IAT and Kellogg are one and the same.
Again, clearly, IAT is totally owned and controlled and its shares voted by Kellogg. It's more than "effective control". Kellogg actually owns all 51.6%. There are no ""isolated parties" or other parties comprising the 52%
JK - Please, tell me again what part of the 13D I don't understand.

i attached screenshots and also db file.
this looks like an issue in the CAPI side . if CAPI is vbucket aware then this is expected behavior.
Support for custom vbucket mapping requires extensive changes to document editing JS and server side implementation.
Particularly we'll need _all_docs to be able to return document vbuckets and we'll have to change CRUD api to use them.
deferring to 2.1 per bug scrub meeting ( Dipti & Farshid -December 7th )
Duplicate of proper document editing API ticket which is more general and is planned to handle nonstandard vbucket hashing

Can't seem to get my CSS resources to package with Android and IOS
Under Resources->Library, I uncheck include CSS. Then I created a CSS Resource to include a custom resource I compiled with compass. This works great in Architect and when deployed on my local web server. However when I run the iOS simulator or compile an APK, the app doesn't recognize my custom CSS resource.
Any ideas?
16 Mar 2013 9:25 AM #2
I searched quite a bit and didn't find any information on compiling Android and iOS with custom css resources. I did figure out a work-around, but it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
I copied over the /resources/css/app.css with my custom one as a temporary hack.
21 Mar 2013 11:37 AM #3
BridgeSense are you using 'sencha app build production/native' and then packaging that?
If so you'll want to make sure your css include has made it's way into the index.html (not app.html).Phil Strong
3 Jul 2013 10:17 PM #4
Any update on this issue?
I've check my index.html have the correct link to the custome css file.
8 Jul 2013 12:06 PM #5
you might have to manually add it to the app.json file. It's different per framework for Cmd, something I hear they are trying to sure up.Phil Strong
8 Jul 2013 2:50 PM #6
Thanks. You are right. I have to manually add the css path in the app.json to make it work.

Commitment to human dignity is needed more than ever in our world today. One billion among us go hungry, and countless others are sacrificed to the idols of greed, violence and war.

Each year, on Ash Wednesday, Catholic clergy, religious and lay people who pray the daily Prayer of the Church read the assigned Scripture from Isaiah 58 that speaks about fasting that is pleasing to God. The prophet Isaiah says, "Is not this the fast that I choose, to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free."
In Kia's Super Bowl ad (which we weren't able to see on Canadian television stations), a son asks his father where babies come from. The father (behind the wheel of a new Kia Sorento) is so distressed by the question, he concocts a story about how babies come from a distant planet called Babylandia.
Do I Believe Christ descended into Hell – and on the third day – He rose again?
Blessed John Paul II was able to challenge the false god of communism and win a victory. Pope Benedict XVI dedicated his pontificate to overcoming a much more resilient idol – what he called the dictatorship of relativism.
Anxiety, like all tensions, eats at us at various levels. More superficially, we worry about many things. Deep down though we are anxious in a way that colours most everything we do. So much of what motivates and drives us is an unconscious attempt to free ourselves from anxiety.
In antiquity, adultery was considered one of the most severe transgressions a woman could commit. Not only was it seen as a fundamental breach of trust, but it also put into doubt the paternity of children raised in the family. A child born out of wedlock, passed off as a legitimate heir could eventually lead to transfer of family property into a stranger's hands.
"Cooperatores veritatis." "Co-operators of the truth." When in 1977 Father Joseph Ratzinger was named archbishop of Munich and Freising, he chose this phrase as his episcopal motto. It is taken from the Third Letter of St. John, which was proclaimed in part today as our Second Reading.
It's tax filing time – are you cringing? My teens, still in school, don't make enough to pay tax, so their forms are simple to fill out. Yet they approach the task as a bothersome burden.
In teaching the RCIA, I have been asked many questions by people with Protestant backgrounds especially about Peter's role and why Catholics believe that the pope is Peter's successor.

The president said he would make his case to the public and will waste no time taking his sales pitch on the road. His first stop will be on Friday at the University of Richmond in the Virginia congressional district of House majority Leader Eric Cantor, a frequent critic of the president's policies.
Politics shadowed every element of Obama's speech. He appealed to people watching on TV to lobby lawmakers to act. He did the same thing before his speech in an email to campaign supporters, bringing howls of hypocrisy from Republicans who wondered why Obama was telling them to put party above country.
The American public is weary of talk and wary of promises that help is on the way.
And the window for action is shrinking before the 2012 presidential election swallows up everything.
Under soaring expectations for results, Obama sought to put himself on the side of voters who he said could not care less about the political consequences of his speech. "The next election if 14 months away," Obama said, adding that the people who hired every elected leader in the room need help "and they need it now."
Administration officials bristle whenever critics of their original stimulus plan note that it did not live up to the job creation estimates the White House issued in 2009. As a result, the White House is leaving it to outside economists to render their verdict on the new plan.
Mark Zandi, one of several economists asked by the White House to evaluate the president's proposal ahead of his speech, said that if enacted it would add 1.9 million jobs and reduce the unemployment rate by one percentage point. Zandi, chief economist for Moody's Analytics, said the expanded payroll tax cut would be responsible for the most increase in hiring, adding about 750,000 jobs. The tax cut for employers, he said, would add about 300,000 new jobs
As to paying for it, Obama will ask a special debt panel in Congress to find enough savings to cover the costs of his ideas. He says he'll release specifics a week from Monday along with a proposal to stabilize the country's long-term debt.
The president said deepening the payroll tax cut would save an average family making $50,000 a year about $1,500 compared to what they would if Congress did not extend the current tax cut.
"I know some of you have sworn oaths to never raise any taxes on anyone for as long as you live," Obama said, a reference to the conservative tea party influence on many House Republicans. "Now is not the time to carve out an exception and raise-middle class taxes, which is why you should pass this bill right away."
No incumbent president in recent history has won re-election with the unemployment rate anywhere near the current 9.1 percent.
Obama's jobs plan put a special emphasis on the long-term unemployed — those who have been out of work for six months or more. He repeated his calls for a one-year extension of unemployment insurance in order to prevent up to 6 million people from losing their benefits, and he proposed a $4,000 tax credit for businesses that hire workers who have been out of work for more than six months.

Mad Batter in Cape May
The 4-1-1
Cape May's Mad Batter spreads the musical wealth
Make your way to historic Cape May to experience a nightlife scene you'll simply be mad about. The Mad Batter, located at the Carroll Villa Hotel, built in 1882, holds more than just 100 years of history. It also provides countless weekends of entertainment and daily specials.
Kay Busch, the restaurant's manager, has worked there for 11 years, and knows the in and outs of the nightlife scene at this Cape May staple.
"The entertainment appeals to a variety of age groups," she says. "It's appropriate for listening during dinner or enjoying just sitting at the bar and relaxing. For example, Class Act, a husband and wife duo, play jazz, classic standards, easy listening and R&B, while Blondage plays keyboard and fiddle along with vocals. They are known to perform a wide variety of pop, rock, country and oldies."
Be Our Guest

" Overall, this is a good hostel. I was only there for a quick night (off to the train at 7am), so I did not see much of the staff. There are good size lockers to put your pack or suitcase in and the premise is safe. This place has a lot of rules... so this is not one of those noisy hostels. The place was clean. I really like how the toilets, showers, sinks, and hairdryer/makeup areas are all separate... to prevent people from taking too long in the bathroom. There were outlets beside each bunk. "- Anonymous

Holloway is yet to make any additions to the squad which surprisingly won promotion to the Premier League last season, and says he won't be rushed into signing new players.
The former Leicester manager has been inundated by agents offering him 'thousands' of players since he guided the unfancied seaside club to victory in the play-offs, but says he will only bring in those suitable for the club.
"I feel like a gold prospector," Holloway said.
"One of them may be a lump of gold but most won't be."
He continued: "I'm being serious when I say we've had thousands, not hundreds, of players recommended to us by agents.
"But although I need players, I won't be launching myself into the transfer market and making crazy signings of overpaid and overrated players.
"Everyone else has fallen into that trap but I'm not going to.
"I am going to take my time, work with my chairman and try to get some real good people in to help my lads, who were so fantastic last season."
Blackpool are believed to be close to completing a deal for Dekel Keinan, the 25-year-old Israeli defender from Maccabi Haifa, and have also been linked with Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Michael Bradley, who played for the United States at the World Cup.
The seasider's are being widely tipped for relegation next season, with bookmakers making them clear 1/5 favourites to face the drop.

Harry Finch has been rewarded with a first professional contract at Sussex, the club have announced.
The 18-year-old has signed a two-year deal at the BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground following a season in which he made his debut at first-class and List A levels.
Finch, who has been selected in the England Under-19 squad to play Pakistan and United Arab Emirates in December, was delighted to sign the deal.
"Obviously I'm thrilled to be awarded the contract and I've been working towards this for a few years now," he said. "But I know it is only the beginning and there is a lot of hard work to be done in the future.
"It has been pleasing to make my first-team debuts and it has been a really good experience. It has been a big learning curve and I've got so much from it."
Sussex cricket manager Mark Robinson added: "It is always an exciting time when you offer a young player his first contract. Harry has everything in front of him and we look forward to seeing him fulfil his potential."

Skip to comments.Gingrich vows to press on after losing AL, MS
Posted on 03/14/2012 6:56:08 AM PDT by Vigilanteman
Since this is an AP wire, I believe we are allowed to post links only, right?
And, I suppose, Newt's case is right on track.
Hey, Newt, are you running against Santorum, Romney or Obama? The longer you stay in, the more it is looking like you are running against Rick Santorum.
Newt is running for newts ego.
Newt needs to step out of the way and let Rick and Mittens duke it out.
There... fixed it
Yup, like the Germans almost won WW1 & WW2.
I think we're about to find out if Sheldon Adleson is willing to throw away money like the people in his casinos.
Gingrich vows to press on after beating Romney in AL, MS
Newt in the race keeps Romney from getting to the prize before the convention.
if newt drops out some of his support will go to Romney as well as Santorum
This way it proves 70% want someone MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN Romney
Romney is almost certain NOT TO win before the convention now, because he would have to get wins by close to 50% to sew it up. Which he has never done.
I hope Newt and Rick team up at the convention
I notice they didnt write "Romney vows to press on after losing" This is a gingrich hit piece
If you want to stop Romney, Newt must stay in. Santo by himself will not stop Romney!
Gingrich is hoping to garner enough delegates to force the nomination to the convention.
His goal now is to play king-maker.
Let me fix it for you:
Gingrich vows to press on after beating Romney in AL, MS
Yes, newt is always for newt.
He's running so those conservatives whom actually want to vote for substance can have something to vote for.
For everyone else, you have two equally empty suits to slobber over.
three more hours of Savage tonight spinning his conspiracy theories...
I disagree (although there ia an exception that I will address).
Let's look at the math in this. Most proportional States have certain rules about who gains delegates and in which way. For example, a lot of States have a rule that you must hit the 20% threshold in order to gain delegates, and you win bonus delegates by winning Congressional districts.
So let's look at Alabama last night.
Last night:
Santorum 35% — 17 delegates
Gingrich 29% — 12 delegates
Romney 29% — 10 delegates
Now if Gingrich wasn't in last night, we would like to assume that all of his votes would go to Santorum, but likely some would go to Romney. If as little as 12% of Gingrich's vote total had gone to Romney, the results might have looked like:
Santorum 59% — 27 delegates
Romney 34% — 12 delegates
Now if you are hoping for Santorum to win the nomination, that is a better outcome. But the odds are very long that Santorum will win the nomination. If your goal, however, is to stalemate Romney and deny him the nomination, Gingrich dropping out would be a bad thing because it would allow Romney the chance to build more delegates.
Now, the exception is that I believe Gingrich should pull all efforts from any "winner take all" State and work behind the scenes to push Santorum forward. Texas and Illinois could both fall to Santorum if Gingrich would do that, and that would seriously hamper Romney.
Newt should drop out for the sake of conservatism. Conservative Republicans have spoken, and they want Rick.
In Newt's interviews last night, I saw hints that he may drop out before the next big winner-take-all primary.
"Newt needs to step out of the way and let Rick and Mittens duke it out."
Agreed...but I heard some rumblings about a Rick/Newt ticket? This current primary has been so unconventional why not announce the ticket? By combining their shared mojo it could prove to be an insurmountable defense against Mitt...unless he is then pushed to name a VP early and then it would be game on.
by the way I believe it would be a Rick/Newt ticket since Rick has earned it thus far.
Santorum and Romney are duking it out. Gingrich is keeping Romney from being crowed glory king.
Way to go Newt!!!! Stay in the race.
What crystal ball are you reading that makes you so confident that Gingrich votes will go to Santorum or not just be split between Santorum/Romney and maybe even Paul.
"I think were about to find out if Sheldon Adleson is willing to throw away money like the people in his casinos."
Of course he is willing especially if he really wants Mitt to win. By singlehandely keeping Newt's campaign alive he is assuring Rick dosesn't level a death blow to the Mitt campaign, which would have been the case in Ohio if Newt had not been a contender.
This is where I question Newt's integrity (and I voted for him before I knew this)...We have to wonder is he staying in as the spoiler for Mitt or Rick? Is Mr. Adleson's money actually an indirect contribution to the Mitt campaign? Why else would he donate to a candidate that is showing he has no chance at getting the nomination?
If Newt joins forces with Rick then I can admit I was wrong, but until then I'm thinking that Newt's desire to stay in can only be to help Mitt.
Have no fear.
Once Mittens has the nomination, the message will be improved - to attract moderates and Democrats.
We need more debates.
Real conservatives don't vote pro-union and for annual debt increases and minimum wage increases either.
-——What crystal ball are you reading that makes you so confident that Gingrich votes will go to Santorum or not just be split between Santorum/Romney and maybe even Paul.-——
Gingrich and Santorum share the social conservative vote, with Rick having the edge. The libertine vote is already going to Paul and Romney.
Do you really believe that the votes going to Gingrich would otherwise go to Mittens?
Who are Gingrich supporters?
My guess is that they prepared to overlook Gingrich's personal weakenesses and failures in order to nominate a strong Conservative.
If Newt were out of the race, why would you think they would run to Mittens rather than the only other Conservative in the race?
BTW, in full disclosure, I was Herman Cain supporter before he was taken out and then a Newt supporter.
But Newt has proven to be unacceptable to most Republicans (probably for past failures and personality weaknesses).
Look at what Newt does not what he says. He's as phony as Soetoro. FUNG.
Earliest convenience = now.
No, they wouldn't.
Look at the math, Romney needs to win 49.7% of the delegates left.
If he wins California, New York and New Jersey (winner take all States that he will likely win), he would only need about 33% of the remaining delegates to clinch.
With Gingrich keeping his numbers down in the proportional States, it gives a chance to keep Romney under that number if Santorum can win the winner take all States of Texas, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.
If Gingrich gets out, Romney will pick up 1 or 2 or 3 extra delegates from all of those proportional contests. And if that happens, Romney absolutely gets to 1144.
I have know idea where Gingrich votes would go, and neither does anyone else, that's the point. Somehow the assumption is that they would all go to Santorum, that is what I depute.
What is more likely to happen is that Gingrich votes would be split between Santorum/Romney and a few going to Paul.
Those pealed off votes from Gingrich might be enough to make Romney the nominee.
Bottom line is that no one knows what would happen to Gingrich's votes, for me I want him to stay even if the only thing that happens is that Romney wont take the prize during the nomination process.
Personally, I had hoped Gingrich would be doing a lot better by now.
"Newt is running for newts ego."
Stupidest statement I've seen on here in along time.
Not going to happen unless Newt wants to debate himself or Ron Paul.
Anybody that's honest, whether they support Newt or not, will freely admit he's the best debater in the game.
Debates are useful for winnowing the field. Much less so than when people are familiar with the candidates. And totally useless when the opponents avoid them.
The potential backlash for ducking a debate is far less than the backlash for getting creamed in one.
For those who salivate at the prospect of a Gingrich-Obama debate, be assured that the Kenyan's handlers will keep them to a minimum or even avoid them altogether. Gingrich could beat Obama in debates even if Obama's people pick venues, pack the audience with syncopates, pick moderators which are even worse than syncopates, and give him the questions in advance. Do you think Obama's handlers don't know this?
Look, I know she's abhorent ...but to me, this picture does not condemn Newt to me like it does so many others.
Even as a conservative, I AM also concerned about the environment, and I hope that someday, we find solutions to our REAL environmental problems. Not the manufactured ones ...but any real ones that might be out there.
To do it, we need money, which is why we need a great fiscal conservative like Newt.
But at some point, EVERYONE will need to work together ...my hope is that rational science along with the resources garnered through capitalism and free markets will solve these problems — rationally, and logically. I think Newt would be in for that ...and that's a good thing.
I'm interested in clean air and water. I don't want to ruin our natural resources. But there's a way to do it rationally, and with the right scientific evidence ...unlike the Dems who could likely TRULY care less about it, but just want to use it to advance their demonic agenda.
I feel the debates ended too early. Not enough people were paying attention. We need more, definitely. And now we'll just have to wait until the fall when our nominee debates Obama ....IF they debate to Obama.
They also dont endorse Arlen Spector and Mitt Romney.
I guess that leaves you without a candidate.
Newt needs to get out, Now! This is turning out to be sabotage.
Newt's voters are not Santorum's by right.
Sorry, but we are not sabotaging anything.
Who will take the bait?
Will someone...anyone...tell me the value of Newt staying in the contest?
1. He cannot win the nomination
2. A split convention will not give him the nomination
3. He's a spoiler for the anti-Romney faction
4. He's handing the nomination to Romney
5. He's using up valuable resources from working folk who continue to send money to a dying cause and may not have it to give to the general election.
There seems to be no upside to his staying in, and full disclosure I voted for Newt in my primary. Like it was said in the movie Gladiator... "People should know when they are conquered." Newt is conquered, and he knows it so why continue?
Still...any GOOD arguments for Newt staying in I will gladly entertain.
"Gingrich vows to press on"
For whom?
If Santorum had lost big to newt last night, I'd be pulling off my bumpersticker and throwing in with newt. We need to stop the Rom.
The difference between a palin, a Santorum, etc, and a Gingrich is that the former two etc know that anyone like them, a Gdfearing conservative, is needed in the WH. Newt thinks Newt is needed in the White House. Newt can't think socially. He's a bit tone deaf, maybe spectrum-y if you know what I mean. He's still great to listen to and should be in the admin somewhere.
This is pretty smart on Newt's part. What he should do is pull out and endorse Santorum at a strategic moment calculated to do the most damage to Romney. Immediately prior to Illinois would be good, but there will be plenty of other opportunities. If he was to pull out now, he'd be old news in a week.
this is not true. John King last night with his touch screen delegate map very deftly and clearly went through the scenarios. He showed the rest of the states with slightly generous give to Santorum where he has a chance, and romney doing well where he most likely will. He showed the delegate count both with newt still in, and with him stepping out now.
Santorum beats Romney only if newt drops out. If newt stays in, either Romney gets the # or it goes to the convention. Meaning most likely romney gets it. Newt is hurting conservatives by staying in. He still will have power at the convention if he gets out now. Along with "statesmanship" instead of "spoilership."
At this point in time Gingrich staying in the race comes close to sabotage. Polls shows that he splits the Tea-Party and male vote with Santorum. He was a "spoiler" in WA, MI, and OH where Romney won with razon thin margins (just 1% in OH and 3% in MI). Carl Cameron on FoxNews reported on Super Tuesday night that the Romney camp is "happy" that Gingrich continues to stay in the race. And last night, John King of CNN used the electronic CNN Electoral Map to demonstrate a scenario on how if Gingrich were to quit even now, Santorum may be able to catch up Romney on the delgate count.
Gingrich, despite carrying baggage that is enough to bring down a fleet of commercial airlines, given his sky-high unfavorability ratings and unbridgeabl gender gap, especially with working women, is simply un electable and he is in it now for his own ego and in the process is wittingly or unwittingly engaging in conservative sabotage. There is no rational answer to any of the queries raised by AlwaysFrosty.

Introduction and First Impressions
The Enthoo EVOLV ITX it is not a new enclosure, but this striking color scheme - black with a glossy red interior - is. We'll take a thorough look at this mini-ITX enclosure in this review, and see how well it performs enclosing a gaming build.
The EVOLV series from Phanteks includes ATX, micro-ATX, and this mini-ITX versions; with all three sharing a common design language, though some of the features naturally differ. With this smallest design Phanteks decided to retain enough size to permit the use of standard components, with room for ATX power supplies, full length graphics cards, and liquid CPU cooling with up to a 280 mm radiator.
The EVOLV ATX was my first experience with a Phanteks enclosure, and I was impressed with the build quality and thoughtful design touches. There is a different approach to building with mini-ITX that introduces new elements, including the ability of a system to remain cool and quiet with components in much tighter quarters.

Phanteks Announces Eclipse Series P400, P400S Enclosures
Subject: Cases and Cooling | February 9, 2016 - 09:06 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: RGB, phanteks, mid-tower, enclosure, Eclipse Series, Eclipse P400S, Eclipse P400, case
Phanteks has announced a new enclosure series called 'Eclipse', which take the internal layout of the Enthoo lineup and packages it in a pair of affordable new enclosures; the P400 and P400S.
"Without much effort, the P400 allows users to create a clean and beautiful system. Ambient RGB illumination adds character while the solid metal exterior gives the case a simple elegant design. The P400 is suitable for beginners and experienced system builders with all the extra features; the P400S comes with sound damping panels and a 3-speed fan controller to enhance acoustical performance."
The internal layout of these enclosures will be familiar to you if you've seen the Enthoo series, with an open main chamber, a bottom partition for the PSU and hard drives, and all storage accessible from behind the system. There are a couple of notable differences between the Eclipse P400 and P400S, primarily the latter's noise-reducing insulation and the addition of a 3-speed fan controller.
Exploded view of Eclipse P400S
Side panel windows are available, with added style from the ambient RGB lighting on both models. The P400 and P400S are available in black, white, or grey, and the body panels are metal, which should contribute to a more premium feel.

Phanteks has announced a new version of their Enthoo Mini XL enclosure, adding their PSU splitter to the package to allow both systems to use a single PSU, and now including the optional mini-ITX upgrade kit.
"With the overwhelming response from the community, users have requested for a solution to the Enthoo Mini XL's dual system configuration setup. Today, Phanteks announces the release of the Enthoo Mini XL Dual System. The Mini XL Dual System will have Phanteks Power Splitter and the Mini ITX upgrade kit pre-installed. With Enthoo Mini XL Dual System, users can run two fully functional system independently of one another. The Mini XL Dual System provides users to have the option of having a high powered gaming system and workstation or Gaming system and streaming system all in one case."
The need for a dual-motherboard system is confined to a small percentage of builders, but the appeal of this enclosure package might create some additional interest. It's a cool idea, and while the Mini XL has been around since January the PSU splitter is a fairly new product, and interesting on its own.
"Using the Power Splitter, a dual system configuration can operate independently of one another. Powering ON/OFF on one system will not affect the other and vice versa. As long as one system is running the power supply will be fully operational until both systems are off."
The Enthoo Mini XL Dual System enclosure will be available this month, and the press release listed 209.90 Euro (about $222 US) indicating this might not be available in the US just yet.

Introduction and First Impressions
The Enthoo Pro M is the new mid-tower version of the Enthoo Pro, previously a full-tower ATX enclosure from the PC cooler and enclosure maker. This new enclosure adds another option to the $79 case market, which already has a number of solid options. Let's see how it stacks up!
I was very impressed by the Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX enclosure, which received our Editor's Choice award when reviewed earlier this year. The enclosure was very solidly made and had a number of excellent features, and even with a primarily aluminum construction and premium design it can be found for $119, rather unheard-of for this combination in the enclosure market. So what changes from that design might be expect to see with the $79 Enthoo Pro M?
The Pro M is a very businesslike design, constructed of steel and plastic, and with a very understated appearance. Not exactly "boring", as it does have some personality beyond the typical rectangular box, with a brushed finish to the front panel which also features a vented front fan opening, and a side panel window to show off your build. But I think the real story here is the intelligent internal design, which is nearly identical to that of the EVOLV ATX.
