BY: David Bauder
NEW YORK – Doomsday scenarios for the future of broadcast evening newscasts have floated around for nearly two decades now. The latest, though, comes from someone in a real position to do something about it.
CBS Corp. Chairman Leslie Moonves recently predicted a fast-changing newscast format because viewers now keep on top of the news through cable channels, the Internet and mobile technology. Yet those who manage or closely follow newscasts suggest Moonves may not have noticed changes they've already made.
"If I had a dollar for every time someone predicted some shift in the evening news, I wouldn't need to be working," said Jonathan Banner, executive producer of ABC's 'World News.'
Moonves likely had his own frustrations — and business interests — in mind when he spoke at the University of Texas earlier this month. Katie Couric never achieved his goal of lifting the 'CBS Evening News' out of third place in the ratings, and a decision on that show's future is due soon with Couric's contract expiring next year.
He told the college students that it's too expensive to support the newscasts as they are now.
"People are getting the news elsewhere," he said. "When there were only three networks, you did have that public service component, where we were informing America. Now, there is nothing that Katie Couric is saying that everybody doesn't know already."
He said the programs could become like 'Nightline,' focusing on a couple of different stories, or the Sunday morning political talk shows.
Viewership is flat or down at all three broadcasts this year compared to last — 1 percent at the ratings leader, NBC's 'Nightly News,' 3 percent at 'World News' and 6 percent at the 'CBS Evening News.' During one last week in August, the newscasts collectively had their smallest audiences on record.
Shrinking audiences have been a fact of life at the news shows, and for broadcast television in general, as viewers have more entertainment choices. Cable news ratings are down from last year, too. Still, broadcast news divisions point out that more than 21 million people watch one of the three shows each night on average.
"The public is still expressing a need and a desire for a program like the one we're producing every night," said Bob Epstein, 'Nightly News' executive producer. People may hear headlines during the day, but are still looking for a broadcast that sorts out the news, he said.
In general, the newscasts have cut back on the number of stories mentioned in each newscast in favor of treating some with more depth. That's particularly true of the night's lead story, which is often explored through multiple angles with different reports.
NBC anchor Brian Williams has led the way in setting aside a portion of the broadcast as a showcase for quirkier stories done without filmed reports, said Andrew Tyndall, a consultant with TMI Research who has tracked the content of evening newscasts since 1987. One day earlier this month, for example, Williams reported on the last airline to end the practice of giving free meals to regular passengers, and the Gap backing off a change to its logo.
There's a greater effort at doing distinctive, enterprising work beyond reporting on the day's news, Banner said. ABC's Diane Sawyer is taking the broadcast to China next month for three days to examine how that country has thrived in a worldwide economic slump. Couric, similarly, took a reporting trip to Afghanistan this summer.
Banner took note of Moonves' claim that viewers already know what Couric will be reporting. "The responsibility of a producer is to make sure that statement is categorically false," he said.
The producers are also aware that the last time a dramatic shift was attempted in a network format was when Couric took over at CBS, and it fell flat with the audience.
"We have to tell people the news," Banner said.
Changing to a discussion format such as the Sunday shows would be a wrong turn, Tyndall said.
"There's already far too much of that on television," he said. "That isn't the way for the evening newscast to distinguish itself."
But Tyndall said the evening newscasts have not done enough to reposition themselves for the wired world and, given that, he's surprised they've held on to that large an audience. He said producers should think less in terms of a daily newscast and more in terms as a repository of video news reports. They could be used and spread much like many people experience 'Saturday Night Live' through brief highlight clips on the Internet the next day.
While Moonves opened the door to an examination of network newscasts, there may be more immediate changes on his mind. He said Couric's move to CBS, at a reported annual salary of nearly $15 million, "will be the last big deal of that kind ever done" because network news no longer generates the revenue to support it.

text: Brown County, Wisconsin, has upgraded disparate DVR systems that were time consuming and unreliable to an improved system designed to keep workers and publicly owned property safe with streamlined efficiency. They installed a fibre communications network with an IP-based surveillance system. Network cameras from Axis Communications are interconnected through Milestone XProtect Corporate video management software (VMS). Brown County now efficiently monitors public buildings including the museum, library, courthouse, jail, community treatment center – even the solid waste facilities. At the Austin Straubel International Airport, Agent Vi analytics are integrated with the Milestone XProtect platform for critical alerts. Brown County, Wisconsin covers 530 square miles and is home to the Green Bay Packers, 13 townships, nine villages and two cities. With departments scattered throughout, the new surveillance system had to be centrally administrated and controlled with restricted access from specific areas, enabling all departments to share video, with fast and efficient views of security related events. A video management system that offered easy integration with third-party systems and multi-phase scalability for a future-proof investment was designed by Technology Resource Advisors, Inc. (TRA). They carried out the county-wide installation. "When the information came from TRA about Milestone's IP open platform allowing analytics integrations and other security systems for access control, we were very impressed," stated Kevin Raye, Network Support Manager, Brown County. "Everything - including the pricing standpoint and the fact that Milestone's technology is compatible with a large variety of cameras - helped us in our final decision to choose this surveillance solution." "From a user standpoint, the Milestone system is especially great for Brown County," stated Carrie Borofka, Programmer/Analyst for Brown County. "As an administrator of the software, I turn it on and quickly open up to the Milestone XProtect Smart Client and see the entire system, log in and we're good to go." For users logging in from multiple sites, the central administrators securely and rapidly allow or deny access to views as needed. For example, the community treatment center is a state-licensed psychiatric facility where surveillance may be used for medical instances – more than just security. Patient privacy concerns are considered, so the assigned roles set up in the system mean that unauthorized users are blocked. The system's storage capabilities give the flexibility to determine video backup on a camera-by-camera basis. A minimum of 30 days of full video backup is kept for the entire county and can be adjusted if archived images are required for longer periods. "We were able to develop a solution that combined multiple aspects including Milestone Federated Architecture and Agent Vi analytics to fit the large-scale needs of Brown County," stated Tom Reminga, CTO, Technology Resource Advisors. "The reliable, cost-effective and scalable nature of Milestone allows the county's IT department, along with other department administration, to easily monitor government buildings for the safety of the community." Throughout Austin Straubel International Airport, an analytics system called Vi-System from Milestone Solutions Partner Agent Vi has been integrated with the Milestone XProtect VMS. Rather than stationing TSA agents or security guards at additional checkpoints in the airport, Agent Vi's real-time detection and alert software monitors the video footage for predefined security scenarios. When an event is detected, an alert is sent to the VMS, which triggers various actions including live video pop up from the relevant camera. Agent Vi's analytics are used in other applications at the airport, including 'sterile zone' monitoring where Vi-System alerts security personnel of movement by people in restricted areas. This enables an immediate response in line with the level of threat associated with the event. The runways also use Axis thermal IP cameras to monitor the movement of airplanes, service vehicles and personnel. Vi-System analyzes the images provided by the thermal cameras to differentiate between people, vehicles and static objects. Here Vi-System has been predefined to detect and alert when there are people present in a vehicle-only lane, while disregarding the movement of vehicles in that area.


text: Abdullah ibn Abdul AzizAbdullah ibn Abdul Aziz (äbdŏlˈlä ĭbˈən ăbdŏlˈ ăzēzˈ) [key], 1924–, king of Saudi Arabia (2005–), b. Riyadh. Like his predecessor, King Fahd, he is a son of Saudi Arabia's founder, Ibn Saud, but by a different wife. In 1962 he was appointed deputy defense minister and also commander of the Saudi National Guard, a post he still holds. Named second deputy prime minister in 1975, he became crown prince and first deputy prime minister on Fahd's accession to the throne in 1982. Since the 1970s he has worked to modernize the kingdom's economy and been active as a diplomat. After the king suffered a stroke in 1995, Abdullah became Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler. A traditionalist, Arab nationalist, and active supporter of the Wahhabi form of Islam, he nonetheless has introduced a number of cautious governmental reforms and cracked down on militants following terrorist attacks in 2003. Abdullah has also sought to balance strong ties with other Arab and Muslim countries with good relations with the United States and European nations. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.

A cute, out of proportion rubber foam Dalek – a relic of the original bout of Dalekmania in the 1960s – has sold at auction for an staggering £1500.
Bought for 50p in the mid-1960s, the fragile foam Bendy Dalek features an unusual paint job, and is one of the rarer toys from the 1960s. David Howe, author of Transcendental Toybox – a guide vital to Doctor Who merchandise collectors:
"It was made from soft, pliable rubber around a metal skeleton.
"The rubber decays and rots over time, and the skeleton can weaken and snap.
"Any toys in a poor condition after a child has played with them would normally be consigned to the rubbish bin, making any examples very hard to find, especially in good condition."
The original foam Dalek was produced in three colours – black, grey and white – with an original selling price of 10 shillings and sixpence. This sale follows some previously reported Dalek merchandise sales from the 1960s, an d it certainly seems that the show's revival has lead to an increase in value of older Doctor Who paraphernalia.
"Prices for older items have increased accordingly as new people have caught the collecting bug and are trying to own items from their childhood.
"Now trying to pick up pretty much anything from the 1960s for less than 200 pounds is rare."
Now Mr Howe notes above that these things rot over time. I can also inform that getting them wet is a big no-no as well. As a small boy I had a Kermit the Frog toy built to a similar design. Being a frog, I left him in a sink full of water… three hours later he had completely disintetgrated.
I still bear the scars.

Christine Johnson, a researcher and author, compiled this list of conditions documented in the scientific literature to cause positives on HIV
tests, and provides references for each condition.
Christine notes:
"Just because something is on this list doesn't mean that it will definitely, or even probably, cause a false-positive. It depends on what
antibodies the individual carries as well as the characteristics of each particular test kit.
For instance, some, but not all people who have had blood transfusions,
prior pregnancies or an organ transplant will make HLA antibodies. And some, but not all test kits (both ELISA and Western blot) will be
contaminated with HLA antigens to which these antibodies can react. Only if these two conditions coincide might you get a false-positive
due to HLA cross-reactivity.
There are conditions that are more likely than others to cause false-positives. And there are some conditions that we aren't aware of yet which
may be documented in the future to cause false-positives. Some of the factors on the list have been documented only for ELISA, while some
have been documented for both ELISA and Western blot (WB) tests.
People may be eager to argue that if a factor is only known to cause false-positives on ELISA, this problem won't be carried over to the
WB. But remember, a WB is positive by virtue of accumulating enough individual positive bands to add up to the total required by whatever
criteria is used to interpret it 39. So the more exposure a person has had
to foreign antigens, proteins and infectious agents, the more various antibodies he or she will have in their system, and the more likely it is
that there will be several cross-reacting antibodies, enough to make the WB positive.
It is to be noted that all AIDS risk groups (and Africans as well), but not the general US or Western European population, have this problem
in common: they have been exposed to a plethora of foreign antigens and proteins. This is why people in the AIDS "risk groups" tend to
have positive WBs (i.e., to be considered "HIV-infected") and people in the
population don't. However, even people in low-risk populations have false-positive Western blots for poorly understood reasons 47.
Since false-positives to every single HIV protein have been documented 36, how do we know if the positive WB bands represent the various
proteins to HIV, or a collection of false-positive bands reacting to several different non-HIV antibodies?"

backstage pass
Wow this could unexpectedly be one of my favourite campaign this season, just because of the lighting! It is so nice to have a campaign that does not have harsh unattractive artificial lighting or overdone airbrushing pasted all over the already beautiful model's face's! But I am really just liking the general "vibe" of the campaign, it reminds me of what Glen Lunchford did back in the nineties with Kate Moss, so I am delighted his style is returning again.

Just as thought that all the drama in Armaan-Tanishaa relationship has finally come to an end, looks like we were wrong
Tanishaa Mukherji and Armaan Kohli fell in love during their stint in Bigg Boss 7. But the two never really confessed about their love when the show was running. However ever since the two walked out of the glass walled house, they had no qualms wearing their hearts on their sleeves and have been spotted hand in hand at various occasions. Moreover, rumour has it that the couple have took their affair De Coeur to another level by exchanging the rings.
But it looks like Tanishaa's sister and actor Kajol is not ready to approve Armaan as her brother-in-law. Yes, the Fanaa actor recently made an appearance at Karan Johar's popular chat show Koffee with Karan, where she was asked by the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai director to spill some beans on Tanishaa's stint in the high voltage reality show. Honestly, we weren't expecting KJo to ask her best friend something as controversial as this, but to our surprise, he did. And we like that. Anyway, even Kajol was not hesitant to talk about as she went on to reveal how her entire family was reluctant to send their little princess in the house of horrors. And then came the ultimate question by Mr Johar – Are you read to welcome Armaan Kohli to your family? "That we'll see… We'll leave that conversation for another day," is what Karan got from his bestie. Ah, well.
If you will remember, initially Tanishaa's mother Tanuja had also shown her dissent to this relationship. And it was quite evident through Armaan's warm approach towards the veteran actor and her cold reaction to Mr Kohli on Bigg Boss 7 Grand Finale. However, it looks like Tanishaa somehow managed to convince her mother given that Tanuja celebrated the New Year's Eve with her daughter and her hone waala damaad at their farm house in Lonavala. In fact, Tanuja even accompanied the couple when they made a trip to Vaishno Devi quite recently.
So if the rumours are true that Tanishaa and Armaan are engaged secretly, we wonder if it has happened with Kajol's consent. Well, all we could do is continue to play the guessing game, hai na?
Here is a small video where you can see Kajol talk about Tanishaa. Watch it and tell us your thoughts about it.

What a joy to listen to former major league baseball player Darryl Strawberry share how Jesus Christ had made such a change in his life. He unashamedly spoke of his relationship with Christ on Huckabee's Fox News television program recently. Darryl played with several major league teams, including the New York Yankees. He had a long struggle with drugs.

For future reference, 5 weeks old is the absolute youngest I'd get a pup. 6-7 weeks is ideal
He had the dogs eating Purina Pro Plan at four weeks old. He said they preferred hard food over the mama's milk. The Pro Plan is packed with nutrients, including DHA, so I don't think that one week will make a difference.
First question why get a dog at 5 weeks old?
quote:Interesting. I'd never heard that but it makes sense.
It is more about the socialization than nutrition. Taking a puppy early usually causes some type of behavioral issues but not always.
A puppy shouldn't be around other dogs until 16 weeks so they lose out on a ton of socialization being taken early. If you already have a dog, then it won't be an issue, but they need to learn their place from their mother or siblings.

Now if you're a grown-up, or you play one on TV, or even if you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, it is your job to get candy for these small people that you do not know. My advice is simple: Don't screw it up. You must remember what it was like when you were a child and you went Trick-or-Treating and ended up with horrible candy at the end of the night. It's not pleasant. And as a child, you really feel like you were ripped off somehow by coming home with a bag full of crap. You need to remember that feeling and make sure that you don't continue to pass it around to the hopeful and unsuspecting youngsters who will trample your flowers instead of using the perfectly good walkway as they traipse to your door in search of sugary handouts.
Thus, here are several items that you need to avoid distributing to jovial children who have donned bedsheets for the evening.
- First up are the inexplicable Boston Baked Beans. These are not good. Why someone thought that they could make a candy that looks like and is named after a picnic side dish is beyond me. No one wants candy that is pretending to be a bean. Beans aren't all that fun.
- Next up are the Dum Dums. First of all, Dum Dums are way too small for any good use. Second, they never taste like the flavor that the wrapper says. And third, you almost always, for some reason, end up with the cream soda flavored Dum Dums or the pineapple flavored Dum Dums. Probably because the folks handing them out took out all of the good ones. If you're going to hand out lollipops, go with a Tootsie Roll Pop. You can't go wrong with those
- Necco Wafers. From what I can tell, Necco Wafers are Tums antacid tablets that have been flattened out and dusted with sugar. They do not taste good. Contrary to what the waxy wrapper says down there, they are not "an American Classic" and the "flavors" are not "great." Avoid at all costs.
- The general assortment of hard candies. As a rule, if it is a candy that is typically found in a grandmother's purse, you really want to avoid handing those out on Halloween. Especially the butterscotch ones. Children to not like butterscotch. Adults do not like butterscotch. Those elderly women with the candies in their purses? Right, even they don't like butterscotch, that's why they're always giving it away.
- One of the more perplexing candies out there, the Idaho Spud. This is a candy that is supposed to look like an Idaho potato. The thing is, it doesn't really look like that. It looks more like....well, um....OK, fine I'll say it, the thing looks like poo! And no one wants poo on Halloween. Ever. Hand out Necco Wafers before you hand out poo-like treats.
- Now we arrive at the Tootsie Roll. If you must give out Tootsie Rolls, give out a bunch of them to each kid. Those of you who give A Tootsie Roll to A kid are just angry, angry individuals who should probably seek counseling. You'll feel much better about things if you toss a handful of Tootsie Rolls into a kid's bag and watch them shriek with joy (until they realize they were just Tootsie Rolls). It's a lot better than watching them stare at you as you drop A Tootsie roll into their bag. Much better.
- Another candy that is not for children and is barely for adults is the Big Hunk. Big Hunk of what has always been my question. This thing is disgusting. It's like some sort of conglomeration of leftovers from another candy making process. Look at it! No one wants that.
- You want to see how close you can get a kid to crying on Halloween? Hand out raisins. What a waste of a walk from the sidewalk to the front door only to be given a very tiny box of raisins which you will not eat. You will use them as ammunition for torturing siblings. You will also use them as a counting aid when trying to figure out how many of them will fit up the dog's nose. You will not eat them.
- Finally, we arrive at the "feel good" treats. Oh, but they're not making the kids "feel good". No, they're making the smug, sanctimonious treat giver "feel good". Those kind of people like to be "practical" on Halloween. (Liking to be "practical" also seems to equate to "liking removing rolls and rolls of toilet paper from the front yard foliage the next morning." Go figure.) There is no place for anything "practical" when a bunch of people under four feet tall and running around the neighborhood, anticipating free candy AND getting it. Nothing practical about that and that's how it should be. Thus, no pencils, erasers, or any other type of school supply. If that was what the kids were after, they just would have gone over to Office Max and knocked on their door.
- The only folks who are allowed to hand out dental floss, toothbrushes or toothpaste are dentists and other professional individuals who do business inside of the mouth (preferably those with degrees and licenses, not hanging out on street corners under neon blinking lights that say "Massage"). But even then, they can only hand out those things at their office! At their home, they're not a dentist, they're a candy guy. So keep your floss to yourself and fork over the Snickers.
See? It's very simple. Avoid the stuff on this list, hand out stuff that kids want, and you'll be fine. Most importantly, whatever you do, just have a good time. I'm not sure what I'll be doing. Whatever it is, it probably won't be what I'd prefer to do or who I'd prefer to be with. You know, quite possibly the only thing more confusing than Halloween is women. And being as how I am one, I would definitely include myself in that generalization. Sometimes, I confuse myself with things. (And sometimes, confusion leads to dumbness.) I'll tell you what's not confusing though. What's not confusing is when you meet someone who you know is the real deal. Someone who's more genuine than anyone you've ever known, someone who's kind and honest, someone who has an amazingly strong will and who can navigate the way through unimaginable situations and come out on top. If you have yet to encounter such an individual, let me tell you, it's pretty amazing. And so are they.

This section describes some common Communications Suite deployment best practices and other deployment considerations.
Best practices say you should implement LMTP to replace SMTP for message insertion. An LMTP architecture is more efficient for delivering to the back-end Message Store because it:
Reduces the load on the stores. Relays are horizontally scalable while stores are not, thus it is a good practice to make the relays perform as much of the processing as possible.
Reduces IOPS by as much as 30 percent by removing the MTA queues from the stores.
Reduces the load on LDAP servers.
The LDAP infrastructure is often the limiting factor in large messaging deployments.
Reduces the number of message queues.
You need a two-tiered architecture to implement LMTP. See To Configure LMTP Delivery in Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Guide for instructions on configuring LMTP.
By design, LMTP is intended for use in multi-tier deployments. It is not possible to use LMTP with single-system deployments. Also, the Messaging Server's LMTP service as implemented is not designed to work with other LMTP servers or other LMTP clients.
The Mail Abuse Protection System's Realtime Blackhole List (MAPS RBL) is a dynamically updated list of known unsolicited bulk email (UBE) sources identified by source IP address. The Messaging Server SMTP server supports use of the RBL and can reject mail coming from sources identified by the RBL as originators of UBE or spam.
Implementing an RBL should be a consideration of every deployment. In general, a good RBL deployed in front of MTAs reduces traffic to the MTAs by a minimum of 10 percent, and in some cases, much higher.
RBLs, and anti-spam and anti-virus servers, such as BrightMail, can work together. For example, if your anti-spam server rejects 95 to 99 out of 100 emails from a particular IP address, you can add that IP address to the RBL. You can also adjust the RBL for BrightMail's false positives when you conduct your BrightMail analysis. Thus, you make the RBL much more proactive in handling a specific wave of UBE.
See Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Reference for information on configuring the ENABLE_RBL option of the MTA Dispatcher.
Design your deployment around the use of logical names for Communications Suite servers. You should use logical names even on a single-system deployment, to position it for ease of future growth and expansion. Using logical names does not impose any additional deployment setup costs other than populating your DNS.
You can think of these logical names as falling into two categories: those that affect end users, such as settings in email client programs; and those affecting back-end administration, such as inbound SMTP servers.
The following tables describes these logical entities.

The shower is no place for Spartan minimalism. You deserve the best: Spoil yourself with a shampoo that elevates hair washing to a luxury that is to be savored. Keep hair soft, protected, and free from tangle with this lightweight shampoo—which is gentle enough for daily use. Made without parabens or sodium chloride, this shampoo calls upon coconut, corn, and oat for a gentle wash that strengthens strands while ridding them of product build-up. Lychee extract protects the deterioration of natural keratin, preserving your hairs natural texture.
I normally do okay with the foil packages...but these ones just did not have enough product for me to make up my mind. I ended up having to use my bottled shampoo to finish the washup. The conditioner was ok--left hair soft. Not really worth it for me.

Hannity Echoes GOP's "Deeply Misleading" 2 Million Lost Jobs Figure
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
On today's edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity claimed that the U.S. economy has lost two million jobs since President Obama took office.
Hannity's figure echoes a GOP talking point that has been circulating for months. Recently presidential candidate Mitt Romney said during the January 3 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends that Obama "is a president who lost more jobs during his tenure than any president since Hoover. This is 2 million jobs that he lost as President." Tonight's comments mark the fourth time since then that Hannity has referenced the two million jobs figure on his Fox News show, according to a Nexis search.
But as Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman points out, such claims about Obama's job record are "deeply misleading" because they take into account job losses that occurred during Obama's "first few months, before any of his own policies had time to take effect":
Mr. Romney claims that Mr. Obama has been a job destroyer, while he was a job-creating businessman. For example, he told Fox News: "This is a president who lost more jobs during his tenure than any president since Hoover. This is two million jobs that he lost as president." He went on to declare, of his time at the private equity firm Bain Capital, "I'm very happy in my former life; we helped create over 100,000 new jobs."
But his claims about the Obama record border on dishonesty, and his claims about his own record are well across that border.
Start with the Obama record. It's true that 1.9 million fewer Americans have jobs now than when Mr. Obama took office. But the president inherited an economy in free fall, and can't be held responsible for job losses during his first few months, before any of his own policies had time to take effect. So how much of that Obama job loss took place in, say, the first half of 2009?
The answer is: more than all of it. The economy lost 3.1 million jobs between January 2009 and June 2009 and has since gained 1.2 million jobs. That's not enough, but it's nothing like Mr. Romney's portrait of job destruction.
Incidentally, the previous administration's claims of job growth always started not from Inauguration Day but from August 2003, when Bush-era employment hit its low point. By that standard, Mr. Obama could say that he has created 2.5 million jobs since February 2010.
So Mr. Romney's claims about the Obama job record aren't literally false, but they are deeply misleading.
Krugman isn't the only economist who has poked holes in the argument that Obama is to blame for destroying jobs. According to economist Robert J. Shapiro, the economy shed almost 8 million jobs under Republican policies before the Recovery Act could affect the economy.
From December 2007 to July 2009 -- the last year of the Bush second term and the first six months of the Obama presidency, before his policies could affect the economy -- private sector employment crashed from 115,574,000 jobs to 107,778,000 jobs. Employment continued to fall, however, for the next six months, reaching a low of 107,107,000 jobs in December of 2009. So, out of 8,467,000 private sector jobs lost in this dismal cycle, 7,796,000 of those jobs or 92 percent were lost on the Republicans' watch or under the sway of their policies. Some 671,000 additional jobs were lost as the stimulus and other moves by the administration kicked in, but 630,000 jobs then came back in the following six months. The tally, to date: Mr. Obama can be held accountable for the net loss of 41,000 jobs (671,000 - 630,000), while the Republicans should be held responsible for the net losses of 7,796,000 jobs.
This is just the latest example of Hannity pushing Republican talking points to attack Obama.

Crude futures Wednesday settled somewhat higher in a low-key trading day dominated by modest swings in a tight range. Oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange for December delivery settled at $86.32 per barrel, up 94 cents or 1.1%. Brent oil futures settled at $109.61, up $1.35. With few major headlines to guide trading, market participants were looking ahead to Thursday's release of U.S. oil inventories by the Energy Information Administration. Crude-oil inventories increased by 2.0 million barrels in the week ended Friday, according to a Dow Jones survey of 11 analysts. "The market is decidedly ambivalent," said John Kilduff, a trader at Again Capital. Traders did briefly bid up oil prices following headlines that Israel on Wednesday assassinated a top Hamas military commander in a strike on Gaza City, a move that drew a strong reaction from Hamas. But the rally couldn't get above the day's high of $86.65 per barrel. The low price Wednesday was $84.93. "It's a modest reaction to what's kind of modest news at this point," Mr. Kilduff said. "To break out of this range, you'll need something a bit more concrete," said Tariq Zahir, managing partner and oil trader at Tyche Capital Advisors. Market participants said Wednesday's release of economic data continued to tilt the market in a somewhat negative direction. In spite of Wednesday's higher closing price for oil, the market is fixated on "bearish fundamentals," Mr. Zahir said. Retail and food service sales fell 0.3% last month to a seasonally adjusted $411.59 billion, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected a 0.2% decrease. The Commerce Department said Hurricane Sandy had both positive and negative effects on the data. Some stores reported a drop in sales because storm damage forced them to temporarily or permanently close or they saw reduced business because of fewer customers. But other retailers experienced a sales boost as shoppers stocked up on emergency supplies, like gas and food, ahead of the storm and then purchased more goods if they were forced out of their homes. U.S. wholesale prices declined in October for the first time in five months as gasoline and new car costs fell during the month. The producer price index, which measures how much manufacturers and wholesalers pay for finished goods, decreased a seasonally adjusted 0.2% in October from a month earlier, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast overall producer prices to rise 0.2%. Front-month reformulated gasoline blendstock, or RBOB, settled at $2.679 per gallon, up 2.52 cents. Heating oil futures settled at $2.988 a gallon, up 2.74 cents. Copyright (c) 2012 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. |

text: The weird, sad story of Egyptian animal mummiesAlasdair Wilkins11/22/11 8:00pmFiled to: ArchaeologyAncient egyptMummymummificationAnimal mummyEgyptologyEgyptHistoryScience42EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkPharaohs were far from the only ancient Egyptians to be mummified. An entire ancient industry grew up around supplying people with mummified pets to accompany them into the afterlife. Business was even big enough to drive entire species extinct.AdvertisementAccording to Egyptologists, bringing a pet with you to the afterlife conferred all sorts of benefits. Not only could the animals keep the deceased company and serve as an offering to the gods, they also represented the gods, which seems to really cover all possible bases when it comes to navigating the afterlife. Enterprising people set up business that specialized in supplying the millions of animals that were ultimately mummified.The Sacred ibis bird and baboon were driven completely extinct during this process, and hawks, falcons, cats, and dogs all saw their populations drop significantly. Selima Ikram of the American University in Cairo adds:Advertisement"It's easier to say which animals the Egyptians didn't mummify. There are no mummified pigs as far as we know, no mummified hippos, and I think that's about it - because almost every other creature at some time or another has been mummified."Originally, Egyptians simply captured wild animal for mummification purposes, though when this supply started running low they set up breeding programs around their temples and villages. The practice dates back to 3,000 BCE and reached its zenith from about 650 BCE to 200 CE. There aren't all that many practices these days that last 300 or even 30 years, let alone 3,000, and yet that's how long this practice endure.Melinda Zeder, who is the curator of a new exhibit on these animal mummies at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C., explains the motivations underlying this practice:Sponsored"The ancient Egyptians weren't obsessed with death - they were obsessed with life. And everything they did to prepare for mummification was really looking at life after death and a way of perpetuating oneself forever. The priests would sacrifice the animal for you, mummify it and then place it in a catacomb in your name. So this was a way of obtaining good standing in the eyes of whatever god it was."While many of the animals were simply bred to be slaughtered, a few enjoyed a good life before their eventual fate. Bulls, for instance, were associated with the sun god Ra, and they enjoyed a long full life of twenty years, complete with daily massages and feasts from adoring priests. In fact, they ate so well that researchers think they may well have died of heart attacks.AdvertisementThe baboon fared less well. The animal was so popular for mummification purposes that it ultimately went extinct, forcing priests to start manufacturing fake mummies instead that looked like baboons on the outside but were in fact made from other animals, a fact that only became apparent with modern CT scans. Professor Ikram explains:"If you wanted to have a baboon as an offering, you make it look like a baboon — and if you say it is a baboon, then it magically becomes a baboon. The real ones were very expensive and hard to come by and that's why the whole genre of fake mummies started."By our standards, this was certainly all a bizarre practice, and this isn't likely to win Egyptians too many fans among animal lovers. Still, as Professor Ikram points out, the Egyptians were at least trying to provide for the animals' long-term welfare, even if they didn't treat them well in the short-term, as a miserable life bred for mummification meant the animals would be with the gods for all eternity. Still not sure that's a great trade-off, but there you go.Via BBC News.Reply42 repliesLeave a reply

Predicting the Unpredictable tells us what has been tested and abandoned and why. It follows the winding path taken by this potentially useful discipline in the past four decades, from the shadows to centre stage and back again... Famous moments in earthquake prediction are dissected for the reader through Hough's diligent research in obscure archives; history will thank her for these abandoned threads."--Roger Bilham, Nature "Hough's book, however, is not frustrating at all; it offers an enlightening, fair and insightful look at how one science has dealt with the intersection of an extremely hard problem with legitimate public demands for results. Those of us in other fields who read it may find ourselves profiting from the example someday."--Cosma Shalizi, American Scientist "In this forensic and engaging overview, Susan Hough presents a frank, entertaining and personal review of the history of ideas, practice, personalities and experience in the science of earthquake prediction. Although Hough is a respected scientist, she takes a journalist's viewpoint here, not shying away from legitimate criticism of those she regards as friends, and taking on the credulous at the edge of, or even beyond, the mainstream scientific."--Ian Main, Times Higher Education "Susan Hough is all about solid science, and her examples of accepted research that turned out to be dead wrong will resonate with readers suspicious of anybody who predicts the future."--Stephen Matchett, Australian "Earthquake prediction is on everybody's mind when reports of the horrific event make headlines. Why the failure to predict it, especially in this age of scientific and technological achievements? Hough tells readers why in this deeply interesting, enlightening, and entertaining book... The book skillfully weaves the influence of politics, economics, and psychology into this authentic, delightfully perceptive account of earthquake prediction science."--Choice "[T]his book can be enjoyed by anyone, but it will be enjoyed most by seismologists because it is a treasure of seismological lore, as well as a useful guide and moral support for those participating in what Susan calls the 'combat sport' of seismic prediction research."--F. A. Nava, Pure and Applied Geophysics "This book is sparkling, entertaining, and a good read and ... it is a rocking piece of literature. It keeps a delicate balance between the genuine scientific efforts and the difficulties, which scientists face in prediction science."--Afroz A. Shah, Geosciences Journal Weiterlesen…

btw I don't listen to mainstream bands who ridiculously polish their sound,I mostly listen to extreme metal bands,so you may know what kinda sound I'm searching for.
Thank you all for helping.
To be honest I'd get the HS3000 by Samsung. Little bluetooth receiver, so you can use whichever headphones you want with it (maybe different ones depending on whether you're at home/on the go/exercising or whatever), or even plug it into a stereo if you wanted via 3.5-3.5mm cable. It has Apt-X which is a must for listening to music via bluetooth for me, the Senn MM550X has Apt-X too but not sure whether you're referring to that one or the older MM550 set which doesn't sport Apt-X. Of course Apt-X support doesn't mean anything unless your source player also has Apt-X (as of right now not that many devices do, it'll work with non-Apt-X sources too though, but nice to get the future proofing). Can be purchased very cheaply too, which means you might be able to splash out on a better set of headphones and a headphone amp from within your $500 budget.
They will soon though, the iPad3 was the first, but you can basically put money on the next iPhone following suite. Given how cheap the HS3000 is might as well get the future-proofing into the bargain! For a non-Apt-X bluetooth headphone I would not pay anywhere near that money for the MM550. HS3000+~$300-350 set of headphones+headphone amp (or combo DAC/headphone amp) I think is a far, far better proposition. If you want just a regular bluetooth set of circumaural headphones pick up something like a Moto s805 or Sony DR-BT50, which can be had far more cheaply than the MM550.
IMO, IE80s outperform MM 550x, MM-550x cost that much because of higher production cost, especially for a aptx headset with good sound quality, but that doesn't mean the SQ is on same league as other similar priced-range IEMs.
I've listened to the new Harman Kardon BT headphones at the Apple store near me and they are pretty freaking nice for Bluetooth headphones. I'm gonna pick up a pair, they're only $250. I listen to primarily metal also and they handled the genre very well

Shadowrun, older versions of White Wolf
Been playing D20, Shadowrun, & White Wolf for 20+ years.
Help support your Meetup
The Gamehole is a long standing group of Madison area gamers. We have been getting together for years playing our favorite games. We love virtually all tabletop games. We have played every edition of D&D, including Pathfinder, we also play Traveller, Shadowrun, Runequest, Savage Worlds and Call of Cthulhu.
A couple of years ago we decided to branch out and try to create more gaming opportunities for the community. We started by hosting a monthly Pathfinder Society Gameday. This has evolved to the present day where we still sponsor monthly game days, but they are not limited to Pathfinder. You will find opportunities to play D&D, Traveller, Call of Cthulhu and other role playing games.
Our featured annual event is Gamehole Con. It is a tabletop gaming dedicated convention that aims simply to be the best tabletop gaming convention in the region and nothing else. You can learn more about this convention at www.gameholecon.com

For the latest on Dungeons and Dragons, http://www.wizards.com/dnd/
For Traveller, http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/rpgs/traveller.html
And for Call of Cthulhu, http://www.chaosium.com/
Please consider joining our enclave of RPG gamers. You will have the chance to meet some nice people, play some great games and have a lot of fun!

Crane Co. welcomes the opportunity to discuss potential acquisition transactions. To discuss or propose a transaction, please contact Corporate Development in our group.
Crane's acquisition philosophy is to use its excess cash flow for acquisitions that strengthen its existing businesses. We execute on this philosophy with an acquisition strategy that is based on four key principles:
At the same time that we look outside Crane for strategic acquisitions, we also look for additional profits from having units work more closely together and from "trimming around the edges" when we identify Crane businesses that are not a good fit and are too small to be economic for us. These strategic linkages, which enable us to be a more integrated operating company, continue to be an important part of our growth strategy.

And they often need access to special equipment and programming expertise. Bruce's FT-ICR is made entirely of hand-machined parts (except for vacuum components) and controlled with home-written software. "We have our own machine shop in the lab to make small parts," he says. But for "major big pieces," Bruce farms the work out.
Alan Marshall at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University runs an FT-ICR user facility that pushes the edge of mass spec development. It is one of two labs in the US that soon will have a 21T FT-ICR online (the other is at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory). The "Mag-Lab's" staff includes six Ph.D.s, 20 postdocs and graduate students, a full-time technician, and a machinist, says Marshall, who collectively nudge, tune, and optimize their equipment to squeeze out every drop of performance.
Though the Ph.D.s direct much of the lab's developmental work and original research, it was the machinist, Marshall says, who was a key hire. Armed with a state-of-the-art machine shop containing automated milling machines and electric discharge machining, "He's good enough that we tell him what we want and he'll say: 'Well, I could build it that way, but it would be better if I did it this way.' He contributes significantly himself."
That's important, because mass specs, by their very nature, impose some particular engineering requirements. For instance, some components cannot be made of magnetizable materials like stainless steel, and must be made of titanium, which is challenging to weld. Plus there are the high-powered vacuum systems to contend with.
"People come here as much for the personnel as they do for the hardware," says Marshall.
Indeed, says Senko, it's getting harder and harder to find people sufficiently well versed in mass spec technology that they can take a job at a company like Thermo and be immediately productive. "There's not a lot of people left still doing hardcore development," he says.
Thanks to researchers like Marshall and Brodbelt, Compton, and Westphall, however, the tradition does live on.

I spent a year of my life studying weight loss and brought myself from 340 pounds down to a healthy 185 pounds the RIGHT way: no fad diets, pills, or crazy machines - just healthy eating and some moderate exercise. I'm happy to share my knowledge with you. I also have my own web site at RicksWeightLoss.com
My knowledge is all practical, life experience. I spent over a year reading dozens of books, online literature, magazines, and lots of other sources. I've studied nutrition, weight-lifting, bodybuilding, exercise science, and many other fitness-related fields.
I have no formal education in fitness or nutrition. But, then again, I am a computer programmer and trainer with no formal education in my field either. I'm completely self-taught in everything I do. However, I can give you plenty of tips and pointers on how to safely lose weight.

Anyone have a boy and girl sharing a room?
We plan on buying or building a new house closer to home within the next 6-12 months. When that time comes, all 3 kids will have their own rooms again.
In the meantime, I am going to take over one of their bedrooms and turn it into a work out room. Our gym equipment is currently spread put throughout the house (bench, weights, elliptical, etc.).
One thing is for sure: we are getting them bunk beds! Our daughter is 7 and our son is 5. They are attached at the hip and get along fabulously. So this will be a welcomed transition.
My problem.. I want to make the bedroom comfortable and fun. I want them BOTH to love it and feel like it's "their room". What are some things I can to do make it boyish and girly?
Looking for some cute ideas for storage, personal space, etc.
Thanks :)
Just to answer a few questions:
I live in Canada. We don`t have CPS. We have CAS and it`s not illegal for boys and girls to share a bedroom.
Also, our kids aren`t being forced to share a room. They WANT to. They have been bugging us for bunk beds for ages. So, putting them together in a room is only spoiling them. LOL
And HERE is what I think we might build (or buy)! We are thinking it would be better to build something we can take with us.
