U.S. Seeks to Mend Frayed Ties on Russia Border
Clinton to Address Frayed Relationships From Kiev to Baku
First came a "reset" of U.S. relations with Moscow. Now, the administration of President Barack Obama is trying to reboot ties with Russia's neighbors.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Ukraine's new leader in Kiev on Friday, the first stop of a tour her aides say is aimed at promoting democracy and strengthening U.S. ties in the region. Some analysts say the combination will require all her diplomatic skills.
Among some of her hosts, the five-nation tour of Ukraine, Poland, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia is seen as a chance for a fresh start after 18 months in which Washington seemed indifferent toward allies that had been aggressively embraced by the administration of George W. Bush.
"After the Bush administration, the only trajectory was downwards. There had to be a recalibration" of U.S. involvement in the region, said Thomas de Waal, Caucasus expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. After being too disengaged, the Obama administration "is beginning to get the balance right," he said.
In the case of Azerbaijan, perceived neglect has begun to alienate an ally to the point that it may threaten U.S. energy and security interests, analysts say.
Mrs. Clinton won't visit Kyrgyzstan, but the recent bloodletting there, in which the government was toppled and thousands then died in inter-ethnic strife, also highlights the region's fragility and strategic importance. Kyrgyzstan hosts the Manas military base, the main artery to supply U.S. operations in Afghanistan.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is a poster child for the disappointed hopes in the so-called color revolutions that brought pro-Western governments to power in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan during the Bush administration.
In 2004, Russian-backed candidate Mr. Yanukovych claimed victory in an election whose results were widely discredited. Orange Revolution demonstrators, cheered in the West, forced him to relinquish the office. This year, he returned to power in elections that were endorsed by international observers, beating Orange coalition leaders discredited by years of infighting.
Mr. Yanukovych has moved quickly to tighten relations with Moscow, abandoning his predecessor's commitment to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Thursday night, hours before Mrs. Clinton arrived in Kiev, Ukraine's parliament adopted a law declaring Ukraine a non-aligned state.
"NATO's door remains open," Mrs. Clinton said Friday at a meeting with Foreign Minister Kostyantyn Gryshchenko, adding that it was entirely up to Ukraine to decide what alliances it wants to join.
The visit to Kiev may prove one of the easier ones in Mrs. Clinton's tour. Azerbaijan's leaders have been seething for the past year as the U.S. pushed hard for a border-opening deal between Turkey and Armenia, Azerbaijan's rival.
Baku felt the U.S. ignored vital Azeri interests by not linking the talks—now in deep freeze—to resolving the long-simmering conflict in Nagorno Karabakh that has left Armenian-backed forces in control of a swathe of Azeri territory. Meanwhile, the post of U.S. ambassador to Baku has been vacant for a year.
Baku has responded by selling more natural gas to Moscow and shoring up relations with Tehran.
Anti-U.S. articles have proliferated in state-controlled media and Azeri officials said the country might have to "reconsider" its relationship with the U.S.—one that includes a supply route to Afghanistan and contracts for U.S. energy companies.
Baku, whose defense budget rose sixfold over the past decade, has also begun to warn of the possibility of a renewed war over Armenian-held lands, a conflict that would likely disrupt critical pipelines for Caspian basin oil and gas that the U.S. was instrumental in getting built.
In June, Mr. Obama sent a letter, carried by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, in which the president said he was "aware of the fact that there are serious issues in our relationship," though also confident the two sides could address them.
Azerbaijan, which is holding two political bloggers in jail, appears to be a tough nut for Mrs. Clinton's democracy drive to crack at the same time it seeks to restore damaged ties.
Mr. Obama last year singled the country out, along with Zimbabwe, for jailing reporters, while the country's election process has also been widely criticized.
Georgian leaders have suffered a special letdown since the early years of the Rose Revolution, when President Bush visited the capital Tbilisi to address a huge crowd and Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili enjoyed routine phone calls with the U.S. leader. But while Mr. Saakashvili has yet to be received in the Obama White House, Georgian officials say they accept the U.S. reset with Moscow.
"A new administration always takes time to adjust. There was a perception during the Russia reset period that the U.S. was abandoning Georgia and other partners, but it's very clear now that was never the case," said Georgia's Deputy Foreign Minister Giga Bokeria, a close adviser to Mr. Saakshvili.
Late last Month, Mr. Saakashvili issued a statement welcoming a key switch in language used by top U.S. officials, who for the first time described the presence of Russian troops in the breakaway territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia since Georgia's 2008 war with Russia as "occupation." He said Georgia had spent two years working to get that occupation internationally recognized.

The frosty morning after the sensational night before
It's a bit longer journey back to London this year and I'm writing this on a train passing through the Midlands on a frosty, misty morning that says Christmas is just around the corner. If proof were needed, a Virgin Trains chaplain has just appeared along with an entire choir singing carols - except in coaches A and B where there's overcrowding...
But top of the agenda: thank you, Liverpool. The city did us proud last night in hosting Sports Personality of the Year. It was a wonderful arena with great facilities, and every impression I got was that the audience there - and the sports stars - had a ball. Liverpool's papers liked it too.
So, it appears, did most viewers at home. On the provisional figures the show performed in line with last year's - averaging 6.7m viewers and therefore way ahead of the figures when we were last in a London studio. The audience built from 4.7m at 7pm to 8.4m by 8.45pm, when we were ahead of all other channels.
In the BBC we are, of course, as neutral and fair as possible ahead of the main vote. But almost all the people I've talked to so far have been thrilled by Chris Hoy's victory and they think he's a brilliant addition to the list of winners. He won by a mile, too, with 40 per cent of the vote. The winning margin was 120,000. It's a popular choice north of the border and it's making headlines in India, Canada, and right around the world.
No show is perfect, of course, and we welcome the feedback already on message boards and from our colleagues in the press - who've generally been kind:
The Daily Mail
The Guardian
The Telegraph
But I've no hesitation in saying from the BBC's point-of-view that we thought overall last night was a major success. It felt like the right winners were chosen by the public and by the experts; the venue was sensational: and audiences in the arena and at home seem well-pleased. The lifetime achievement award for Sir Bobby Charlton was a great TV moment shared by millions.
Planning for next year will start almost immediately. The question asked repeatedly last night was "where?" and at the moment we've no idea. I've personally always been attracted to the idea of moving outside England, and with a Welsh winner in 2007 and a Scottish winner this year that may be an idea whose time has come. But equally we've had incredible support from Liverpool and previously from Birmingham, and the competition for hosting duties from English cities will be fierce.
We'll let you know how our thinking develops, but in the meantime - thanks to everyone who watched and came along, and particular appreciation to our guests from British sport who've been so inspirational in 2008.

Get cities to bid for the right to host it. Take it to Scotland or Wales and then maybe those nations will stop complaining about English bias, which is what 606 was dominated with last night. This despite the last two winners being non-English.
Anyhow, as to last night's show: well, it was good. It wasn't a review of the year, and it was a touch disappointing that you couldn't actually show larger chunks of actual sports action. But then review wasn't in the title and you clearly couldn't persuade your colleagues in scheduling to give you 3hrs, which is frankly what was needed to do things comprehensively.
I'll admit that the scheduling this year gave a chance for all the runners and riders to get a better moment in the spotlight, which was a vast improvement in last year. Jake H was a poor show though and he must up his act if he is to be star of F1 that Steve Rider and Jim Rosenthall have been on the other side.
Roger - one question: can we have the voting numbers? Also who are your independent scruinteers - they tell the public at the Oscars who does it, so could you?

Ok as an Awards show it works well. And you are right "The lifetime achievement award for Sir Bobby Charlton was a great TV moment shared by millions."
I suppose I still tune in and expect a review of the Sporting year, and I suppose due to ratings considerations that can't be done these days. I still think it is a shame though that since the BBC holds the rights to Wimbledon and the Olympics for example we couldn't have been shown some of the highlights with commentary instead of all the music.
Anyway next year I shall tune in and know what to expect now and will probably enjoy it that way more. Just a shame that there can't be a separate programme reviewing what was undoubtedly a great year in sport. Yes the personalities were highlighted last night but not the actual sport...

I'm glad Hoy won in the end and it was an olympic year. If Lewis Hamilton had won, he would have of course deserved it but his time will come when he wins future championships of which I'm sure he will and it was nice that a sport and person won it in the only year thy really could have won it. Only in an olympics year, these athletes are favourites to win.
I still feel it was a shame that Shane Williams wasn't nominated as he has had one of the best years a rugby player can ever have being given World Player of The Year. But he won the Welsh SPOTY so all good. Great year for sport overall and can't wait to this next year of sport!

A couple of quick initial points...
First, a look at the detailed figures suggests 9.8m were watching the moment when Chris Hoy picked up the trophy. That's the highest peak for 5 years, according to our research team.
Second in response to Jordan D, the figures are published elsewhere on this site - and they are:
Chris Hoy 283,630 votes
Lewis Hamilton 163,864
Rebecca Adlington 145,924
Ben Ainslie 35,472
Joe Calzaghe 34,077
Andy Murray 19,415
Nicole Cooke 18,256
Christine Ohuruogu 7,677
Bradley Wiggins 5,633
Rebecca Romero 4,526

Glad Hoy won although wouldn't have argued had Adlington, Ainslie or the Calzaghe won.
The Murray item was a load of pretentious nonsense. Nadal is a year older and has won 5 Grand Slams. Why is tennis always in with a shout - is it that good a sport? Anything to do with the outrageous money Beeb pays to cover Wimbledon?
Football always seems to win something. Bobby Charlton is a legend though that is 3rd time in 4 years football has won this award. Are there no other lifetime achievers.
I just wish we saw more of the sporting action - like replays, like the old days.
Roger - one final question do you have any plans to retrospetively publish the Actual Votes Cast for period 2001 - 2006?

Hi Roger
Congratulations on putting on a great show last night - I was there and I really enjoyed it. I was in Birmingham last year and I've got to say that it was better this year than last.
It seems that you and your team have taken on board all the comments made over the last couple of years about making the whole voting process fairer to all the nominees. It did seem to be much better balanced last night - good work!
It was good to see ecognition at last for our brilliant cycling team (It makes up for the travesty of last year!) I feel a little sorry for Mark Cavendish though - as there was only a small mention of his achievement in The tour de france. He seems to have been forgotten as he did not achieve at the Olympics.
Finally may I suggest that with all the cycling fever that the cycling team has generated, now would be the time to think about securing the rights to the tour de france and bringing it to the BBC.
It is fantastic to watch and makes great TV - and as the voting figures for Chris Hoy show, there are many many people that are that are interested in cycling and are missing out on watching the greatest cycle race, because it is only on ITV4.

I'd just like to echo the previous sentiments in response to your blog Roger with regards to the disappointment of not showing enough sports action and only concentrating on the personalities.
Why is it that every piece of sporting action has to be shown as a montage or abstract piece of film instead of showing the bog standard sports action with commentary. Part of the reason we love cerain sporting moments so much is because of the commentary which makes it so special.
It is for this reason that both my dad and I are not bothered to tune into the show anymore when in years gone by, it used to be an unmissable fixture in the TV listings.
As robvilla said, 'I just wish we saw more of the sporting action - like replays, like the old days.

Really enjoyed the show last night. It took me a few years to get used to the different format to in the past but now I prefer it.
I agreed with nearly all of the awards winners, the cyclists for team, Chris Hoy who I voted for, Dave Brailsford and Ellie Simmonds.
But that best moment for me was the Helen Rollason award going to Alastair Hignell, he is so deserving of the award and much missed from the commentary box. Great choice.

Roger, please dont take the show out of England.
Moving it to Liverpool was a risk and it paid off but dont move it to Wales or Scotland, im not suggesting that it would be bad but moving it just because Calzaghe and Hoy have won it does not justify why the nations should have it.
Ive said it should stay in Birmingham, middle of the country, excellent transport links for the BBC as well and a major area steeped in Sport Tradition.
But for next year...DONT choose Manchester..its in the North West and would be deemed unfair, North East prehaps with Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough and even Hull to choose from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a life-long fan of SPOTY and it is the one TV show that is inked into my diary, so living 'in the north', yesterday was a great opportunity to see it live.
And for the most part, I wasn't disappointed; the atmosphere, emotion and general enjoyment of the event was fantastic. However, I would suggest that some more thought is given to the ease with which the audience can see what is happening - we were near the back and only at the last minute was a TV screen wheeled onto the floor in our line of sight, enabling us to see 'the action'.
Additionally, I feel the Echo Arena could have performed better before the show. Our tickets only arrived on friday - prompting a number of panicky calls to check that they were being sent and the 'joining instructions' made no mention of any parking restrictions.
That said, it was a very enjoyable evening and a great event; Chris Hoy is a very deserving winner and I hope that it is held close enough next year to enable me to take my family again.
Best regards, Steve

I enjoyed the show but a few comments:
1. More highlights of all the great sporting achievements (with commentary)
2. Is the award about the greatest achievement or a being a sports personality?
Just a picky point but it seems that to qualify you must have been really successful rather than have been a personality and made for an enjoyable sporting year (Ian Poulter or Monty Panesar for example).
3. The blond male presenter, so uninspiring that I forgot his name, wasn't really up to scratch.
4. Thought Cavendish was hard done by - one of the greatest achievements ever by a British Road Cyclist barely acknowleged.
I was rooting for Addlington but am very pleased Hoy won!

I don't want to be over critical, or petty, or negative for the sake of it, but Sports personality of the year is getting worse as a show.
This year, as last, was far too bitty. There was too much chopping and changing, too much over-hyped, melodramatic rubbish. Why interview Ben Ainslie about why he ran off when he'd fallen in the channel in November? Why have more footage of Andy Murray hitting tennis balls into the sea than footage of him on court, beating Nadal, Federer et al.?
I know there are rights issues, and I know that now it's an Arena event you have to entertain the crowd, but now that is the focus the actual review of the sport for the viewers is being pushed out. I don't want to see cyclists comnig down a ramp! How about a repeat of some of the races from the olympics! Why were all the reviews warped with that silly lense effect?
I felt let down by the programme. Really let down. I look forward to this for months before hand but the only thing that the BBC got right was the winner, and that was the only thing you had no say over.

It was a fantastic year for British sport, so at least we were spared the embarrassment of recent years of barely being able to scrape a credible shortlist together.
Chris Hoy was a most deserving winning, although I wonder whether the bbc did engage in some gamesmanship by keeping the coverage of Lewis Hamilton's achievements to an absolute minimum?
Overall the categories all had worthy winners which is to be applauded.
I look forward to next year's show, hopefully without the ill-conceived ramp (poor Rebecca Adlington having to totter down it)!

Well to balance Webby Foxes I think it's important the show is moved around the UK-obviously the venue has to be large enough, and such venues exist in Wales and Scotland-as does modern transport.
I would also like to say that I for one am pleased we know longer have the dreary grind around all the sporting action of the last year that the Review used to involve.
Every year since phone voting was introduced I've voted for the winner-yet I really didn't think Hoy would win. Very pleased he did. Oh and as to personality or achievement-that's down to each individual who votes, isn't it?

One thing that always strikes me is the seeming preference for people who are showcased on the BBC.
Of the 10 only 2 were not BBC 'talent', Lewis Hamilton (of course F1 is back with the BBC next year) and Joe Calzaghe (whose fights have been shown on BBC 2 on a week delay).
I wonder if Mark Cavendish might of stood a chance had the BBC covered the Tour de France?
Baring an exceptional event (the Ashes or Rugby World Cup) this event always seems biased in favour of those events the BBC have the rights to.
Plus I would echo comments of those re the 'review' part of the show that has become almost non-existent in recent years. A few arty effects and lots of talking heads but very little actual action that you can actually see properly, ironically it was the Champions League final (not a BBC event) that was probably the best review bit.

I'd just like to say that I thought it was a great show and great that an Olympian won. I think that the underlying success of the show was that Chris Hoy, a cyclist, won. I think it shows the power that exposure on the BBC has, when a cyclist wins 'the big one' as Chris Hoy so rightly put it. Similar to when Sir Steve Redgrave won, it shows that exposure on the BBC means that dedicated athletes in any sport have their chance to appear in the spotlight.
I couldn't help but think how well the show has evolved, given that I grew up on the Sports Review of the year every year waiting for Des Lynam's segment, where all the humour of the show was centred. I used to think that those were the best days of the show, but from the comfort of my sofa on Sunday it was a really good show, well produced, well presented and a fitting climax to what has been a great year of sport.

Horseracing got just 51 seconds of coverage.
Yet I bet if I had counted, the programme contained about 10 minutes of boring applause and predictable interviews.
Get your priorities right, Rugby League and lots of other sports got seconds as well. Is it a review like it used to be or just a celebrity glamour show? If it is the latter then the BBC should provide a separate Sports Review show.
As far as you are concerned Roger, I think you have a lot of questions to answer about your cuts to racing which are plainly disgraceful. You can't cherry pick the Grand National and Derby and let the rest of racing be left out of the BBC audience. People pay and expect a service. Racing costs less than £10m so don't say that cost is a factor. You paid about £200million for F1.

If you wont cover Races from other Tracks, like Channel 4 do, you are better off offloading all your Horse Racing events to Channel 4 and allow the professionals to do it. (Channel 4 have a few laughs as well unlike the BBC)

When will you all get it into your heads that viewing figures are no indication of whether someone liked a show or not?
First of all, even those who hated it still viewed, so they still count towards that figure.
Secondly a show like this is often watched as a form of habit, to look back over the last 12 months, you could have had Mr Blobby hosting it, held it in a clapped out old garage and spent abouit 50p on production of the actual event and people would still have watched.

As a check on this, we also ask a representative panel what they think of the programme in the form of marks out of 10. This suggests increasing approval levels for Sports Personality - so we have growing audience numbers compared with three years ago, and people like it more. So thanks to people like David Shield II in #13 and gavt1976 in #24 for articulating that.
To hdsport in #21: not true. As I've explained in previous blogs, the nominations are made by the sports editors of national newspapers and magazines - so the BBC has no influence on who's in the top 10. But we're proud that so many of the best moments were on the BBC.

In response to your comment about approval ratings can I ask what people make up the representative panel?
This may just be the opinion of the people that i work with but those of us that regularly play or watch sport are becoming more disenchanted with the show and those that aren't regular viewers or participants are enjoying it more. One of the girls I work with said she only watched it because her boyfriend had it on but "wasn't it great when they had that bit with the guy playing the saxaphone".
The "sporty" ones amongst us thought what was the point of that as all it was was another arty montage set to music that took up 5 unnecesary minutes.
Now I've come to the point where I understand that BBC Sport has to appeal to the main stream to justify a primetime slot on sunday night for a show but for those of us sports fans who want a genuine review of the sporting year can we please have one maybe on BBC2 on a Sunday afternoon over the festive period or something like that.

If AMPAS who run the Oscars can let the world know who does the job (your colleagues in News even did a piece on the two gentlemen who verify the results) then surely in the efforts of transparency you should do the same.
On an awards related tangent, can I congratulate the BBC on the two Bronze Golden Ring Awards that your team won for its Olympic coverage - both well deserved, especially for overall presentation.

On your question about the verifiers: it's not something we normally publicise, but I promise they do exist - and I'll see whether we can explain the process even more next year.
Richp25 in #31: the panel is made up of viewers of all ages from all over the country, and it obviously doesn't mean that everyone's satisfied. So the idea you mention is something we'll certainly look at.

It must be my age, and I know programmes develop, but I don't watch SPOTY any more, though I am interested to know who has won. It used to be so much better. As others have said, very little sporting action, far too much music which is a distraction. Instead of being a revue of the year's sporting achievements, it is just a BBC party for the wonderful array of Sporting Talents. I get the impression that it is a great opportunity for the presenters and the BBC to show how'good and clever' they have been during the year. Great that Hoy won. Though I do have huge respect for Hamilton, others did deserve it more. And Andy Murray did do a fantastic job for British tennis last year.

Doctor suggests cultural shift is needed.
Researchers believe extended time off work will ensure the safety of new moms when it comes to sleep habits, as feeling "excessive sleepiness" is likely during the first four months of motherhood.

CINCINNATI -- To make sure new mothers maintain proper health, they should consider taking longer maternity leaves from work, according to a new study out of Australia.
Researchers believe the extended time off work will ensure the safety of new moms when it comes to sleep habits, as feeling "excessive sleepiness" is likely during the first four months of motherhood.
Emily Kaniecki is a nurse who lives in Norwood with her 15-month-old son, Miles. She said a day of work can be risky if she was up caring for Miles through the night.
Her work shifts last between 13 - 14 hours. When she gets home, Kaniecki said she can't go to sleep until she's finished giving Miles his bath and feeding him dinner. Then, she wakes up at 5 a.m. the next morning.
"Nurses are sleep deprived as it is, on top of having a 15-month-old who is constantly on the go," she said. "I worry about decisions that I make and if my mind is working the way that it should be."
Kaniecki's concerns match the study's findings, which say the most intense sleep deprivation can take place up to four months after childbirth.
It's a time when mothers have difficulty resting, according to Dr. Ron Jaekle with University of Cincinnati Medical Center's maternal fetal medicine department. He says new moms are always on alert -- waiting to hear their baby and making sure they don't miss something.
"You never let yourself get into that deep dream sleep, and so it never feels like you get rest," Jaekle said. "When you're sleep deprived, you make mistakes."
He feels a cultural shift is needed to make sure new moms stay on track with sleep and safety, because eight weeks is not enough time to transition through the life change that a baby comes with.
"We're talking 18 weeks - still measurable sleep issues," Jaekle said. "If you look at Europe they get six months off after delivery. In the United States, we get six weeks."

Microsoft Puts Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool under GPL
Microsoft had released a tool in mid-November that generated bootable USB media or a DVD from the download version of Windows 7 and that conflicted with the GNU Public License. They now followed up by putting the tool under GPLv2.
Microsoft's open source community manager Peter Galli announced the release of the Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool (WUDT for short) and its licensing on the Port25 website designed to communicate with the open source community. Galli indicated that WUDT can now again be downloaded from the Codeplex.com site.
As was revealed earlier, WUDT in its original form included code not originating from Microsoft that was under GPL.
The release under GPLv2 wasn't without some changes made due to licensing reasons. In the original version Microsoft packaged a variety of programs required for installation, among them the .NET framework, IMAPI to burn DVDs and Bootsect.exe, a Windows 7 program that makes USB sticks bootable. The three programs must now be installed separately because of their separate licensing. Microsoft provides an installation guide for the purpose.

Molotov?? Another nonsensical campaign from Saatchi, Paris. Previously from the same agency, the much controversial campaign for Courrier international newspaper. Seriously, how are some people, especially at top agencies like Saatchi, able to keep their jobs at a time when there are millions of unemployed??

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Feb 01st, 1991
Running Time: 81
Director: Henri Pachard
Company: X-Citement Productions
Cast: Marc Wallice, Sunny McKay, Tom Byron, Angela Summers, Joey Silvera, Tiara, Brigette Monroe, Brittany (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
It's phone sex time and Joey Silvera is furious when he finds out his wife Tiara is using their home as a base for her one-girl operation. To cool him down, she decides to go out and get a real job. Her search quickly lands her in the hands of Marc Wallice, who runs one of the more sophisticated phone sex operations. In his business, the girls services each other while talking with patrons.
Lesbo material is given a heavier emphasis in Wire Desire than in most other straight sex videos. The sequence with Brigette Monroe is especially erotic. Besides some boy/girl action, there is also both male and female masturbation scenes. The storyline is carried forward in a logical fashion and there are enough exterior shots mixed in to add even more interest to the good sexual action.


text: Posted March 10, 2013 No way San Diego loses their only playmaker for Rivers. Alexander was a god-send after those horrible signings in the off-season (Meachem; Royal). Normally I would agree with you, but they're obviously gambling that Alexander won't get paid market value relative to the potential production that he put on display last season. They want to get him dirt cheap while others may be willing to pay him a little more----perhaps so much that they balk. It may have been a decent gamble, but it's a risky one. If they wanted to lock him up, they would have put first round tender on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bill to tighten controls on the way federal websites capture user information won approval from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on March 13.
The measure would require any federal website that collects personally identifiable information from users -- including name, date of birth, Social Security number, or financial information -- must be certified as safe and secure by the agency CIO before going live.
Agency and contractor personnel with access to personal information would have to sign a non-disclosure agreement specifically covering personal data. Additionally, government agencies would be required to take "reasonable efforts" to secure multiple domain registrations to avoid confusing site visitors. For example, the bill envisions a site such as HealthCare.gov also being available at HealthCare.com and HealthCare.org.
"When entering their personal information on a federal website, Americans should have the peace of mind that it will remain private, safe, and secure from hackers," said the bill's sponsor, Michigan Republican Rep. Kerry Bentivolio.
The bill also includes an amendment from Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) that would require agencies to notify individuals whose information may have been disclosed in a security breach within 72 hours of the incident, and to report breaches to a federal cybersecurity center.
The committee also approved a bill to end the requirement that the Government Printing Office physically print the Federal Register, while easing constraints on how agencies submit notices to the GPO for inclusion in the Federal Register.

China Vanke Hints at Market Weakening
SHANGHAI— China Vanke Co., the country's largest property developer by market share, said Wednesday that its housing prices are set by the market, suggesting a shift in sentiment as housing prices fall in some cities in response to government tightening measures.
"The company doesn't determine prices, the market determines prices. The company can only determine reasonable price levels from the market," Vanke said in an emailed response to Dow Jones Newswires following a local media report that it had cut prices at one of its projects in Shanghai.
Vanke didn't specifically confirm or deny a price cut, but it said its pricing strategy is to sell 60% of its new projects within one month of launch. Under this principle, the company uses "reasonable" sales strategies tailored to fit local market conditions, Vanke added.
Vanke's moves are closely watched by investors and industry peers for indications of trends in the country's massive real-estate sector, which is currently under pressure after a two-year government campaign to cool a once red-hot market.
Earlier this month, Vanke said its overall sales in October fell from a year ago, the third straight month of declines and the sharpest drop this year.
Property sales in China have weakened on a sequential basis in recent months, especially in major cities.
Housing prices in Shanghai and Beijing were flat in September against August levels, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. October's housing price data for Chinese cities will be released Friday. According to China Real Estate Index, a private data provider, average new home prices in Shanghai and Beijing fell 0.44% and 0.23%, respectively, in October from a month earlier.
Pan Shiyi, chairman of developer Soho China Ltd., said Wednesday that some of the larger property developers are starting to change their view of property prices as the market faces distress, and their moves will be closely tracked by the small and medium-sized developers in the country.
"Developers should cut prices in a single move to a threshold that will trigger more home purchases, rather than trim prices by small margins in a staggered manner," said Mr. Pan.
"In the coming weeks, the smarter developers will behave this way, and that will provide the market with more certainty that prices will decline by that magnitude."

Durrow Abbey
|Monastery information
|Saint Columba
|Heritage designation
|National Monument
|Public access
Durrow Abbey is a historic site in Durrow, County Offaly in Ireland. It is located off the N52 some 5 miles from Tullamore. Largely undisturbed, the site is an early medieval monastic complex of ecclesiastical and secular monuments, visible and sub-surface.
The extant monuments at the site include a large ecclesiastical enclosure, five Early Christian grave slabs, a fine mid-ninth century high cross, a fragment of a cross shaft, a complete cross-head (housed in the National Museum of Ireland) and cross base, a holy well and other extensive archaeological features. Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath built a motte for the Abbey in 1180, and he was killed at the Abbey in 1186 by an Irishman.
Early history[edit]
The original monastery at Durrow was founded by St Columba in 553, who also founded 26 other monasteries by the age of 25, including the Abbey of Kells. He ran the Abbey until 563, when he moved to Scotland, appointing a monk, Cormac Ua Liathain, to take his place. Cormac found it impossible to retain the office of prior because of the rivalries between the northern and the southern clans, especially on the borderland, and so left the monastery, leaving in charge Columba's first cousin, Laisrén, who was acceptable to both sides. Durrow, during Columba's life and for centuries after his death, was a well known center of education. The Venerable Bede called it Monasterium nobile in Hiberniâ, and, at a later period, Armagh and Durrow were called the "Universities of the West". Durrow, like Clonard, Derry, and most other monasteries in the area, was frequently ravaged by the Vikings, but was not completely destroyed until the Norman invasion.
The famous illuminated manuscript Book of Durrow, now at Trinity College, Dublin, was at the abbey by 916 at the latest, although it was probably made elsewhere. Discovered in the hands of a local farmer after the Reformation, the book is regarded as the earliest surviving fully decorated Insular Gospel book. It is believed to date from the 7th or 8th century, though the date is a matter of long-standing controversy.
The site itself, originally called Daru (plain of the oaks) is the location of some of the only remaining pre-mediaeval oak in Ireland. The line of oak trees which lines the fields to the side of Durrow Abbey also marks the route of the ancient highway of Ireland.
From an architectural perspective, the site contains two interesting features: Durrow Abbey House — a building of significant quality dating to the 1920s when it was rebuilt — and the church, dating from the late eighteenth/early nineteenth century which itself is built on the footprint of at least one previous church, dating from medieval times. It is also suggested that the medieval church was itself built on the site of a former 12th century abbey church.
The house and land has recently been leased to the Founder of the Arts for Peace Foundation, which will use the house and grounds as the venue for a recreational respite centre for children from conflict zones.
In 1998, Mrs O'Brien the Owner, began negotiations with Julie Lowe, of the Durrow Abbey Trust, to sell the estate for £2million. Lowe is a descendant of The O'Donnells of Donegal, who are part of the family of St Columba. St Columba founded Durrow in 553AD. Although the deal with Lowe fell through, the estate was saved for the people of Ireland in 2003.
The Government has bought Durrow Abbey and its accompanying 6th century monastic site in Co Offaly at a cost of €3.175 million. The purchase of the sixth century site, founded by St Columcille, and part of the historic Durrow Abbey estate, is designed to protect the Abbey and heritage elements from proposed commercial development on the lands. The vendor was Ms Sheila O'Brien. The Minister of State at the Office of Public Works, Mr Tom Parlon, described the acquisition as "a true asset in the State's property portfolio".

I'm using a child theme based on Justin Tadlock's "Structure" theme with the wp-facebookconnect plugin at http://savvantmusic.com/. Although I am able to login via my facebook credential, I'm having several problems with the facebook-connect functionality:
1) None of the facebook profile info is propogated into the WordPress user profile. Not the name, not the avatar, nothing except the facebook-connect user id and the hashed up facebook version of the email address. The facebook user name does show up in the wp-facebookconnect login status badge tho :-)
2) Thought the facebook avatar does show up in the above mentioned login status badge, it does not show up in the comment - in fact the other avatars suddenly stopped working as well (although they still show up in the admin screens). I'm also asking Jason Tadlock the structure theme developer about that one...
3) Why is there a white bar at the bottome of the facebook-connect button logo? Where is the logo file stored (I looked but couldn't find it)? My site has a dark background, and the button looks pretty sloppy as is. I can fix it myself if I can just find the darned thing.
The good news... It seems to work fine on Firefox, Explorer and Safari! Whew!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Casein Peptides
In this Article
How does Casein Peptides work?Some casein peptides are thought to cause blood vessels to enlarge in diameter and therefore lower blood pressure.
Are there safety concerns?Casein peptides are normally consumed in the diet from milk products. But there isn't enough information to know if casein peptides in dietary supplements are safe.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of casein peptides during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Milk allergy: People with milk allergy are allergic to the proteins contained in milk. They may also be allergic to fragments of milk proteins, such as casein peptides. If you have a milk allergy, it's best to avoid taking casein peptides.
Surgery: Casein peptides might affect blood pressure. There is some concern that casein peptides might interfere with blood pressure control during and after surgery. Stop taking casein peptides at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

2016 marks 400 years of popular, artistic, and scholarly enthusiasm for Shakespeare's life and works. We celebrate Shakespeare as a creator of plays and poems, characters and ideas, words and worlds.

The tenth World Shakespeare Congress of the International Shakespeare Association will honour Shakespeare's 400-year legacy and celebrate the continuing global resonance of his work.
The Congress's rich programme of plenary lectures, seminars, panels, workshops, events, and performances will take place in Stratford-upon-Avon and London. WSC 2016 will offer unparalleled opportunities to engage with current Shakespeare performance, criticism, and pedagogy, and to connect with fellow Shakespeareans from around the world.

I am looking for an MCAT tutor. I have a MS degree in Biology and am currently a lab researcher. I took the MCAT in 2008 and Physical Sciences was terrible. Mainly because of my ineptitude with physics. I am now 34 y/o and I want to give my dream one last try. I am available on evenings and weekends.- Yasmeen from Elkins Park, PA

AbstractAircraft icing is a severe aviation weather hazard as formation of ice on aircraft surfaces leads to degradation in aerodynamic performance. Today, there are limited ice detection systems available that warn pilots of icing, used primarily by the military and airlines due to their high acquisition and certification costs. Innovative Dynamics Inc. will address these issues by developing a low cost windshield infrared (IR) ice detector for the GA fleet. Existing windshield ice detectors consist of a dash mounted red light that is only visible to the flight crew at night when light is reflected from ice accretion on the pilots windshield. The proposed ice detector will operate day and night providing icing conditions information, Outside Air Temperature as well as direct measurement of accumulated ice on the windshield. During Phase I, we will develop a prototype IR ice detector and demonstrate performance in an icing tunnel. During Phase II, we will team with a leading GA manufacturer to develop a flight worthy ice detector for application to windshields of popular commercial Business Jet.
