Curb imposed on Newton parish By Michael Paulson, Globe Staff, 12/5/2002
Law offered no explanation for the ban, but it comes after the pastor, the Rev. Walter H. Cuenin, invited more than 100 priests to a gathering tomorrow to discuss concerns about the archdiocese's current fund-raising drive. The priests planned to discuss the difficulty of raising money when the archdiocese is considering bankruptcy and has been forced to release documents containing allegations of a priest striking a woman, another using drugs, and others molesting children and having sex with adults. Law's action, barring all ''archdiocesan-sponsored or archdiocesan-related meetings'' from taking place on the grounds of Our Lady Help of Christians Church, has infuriated area priests, as well as parishioners at the booming church. ''Instead of solving problems like priests abusing girls and giving drugs to kids, they're going after Walter,'' said a parishioner, Gisela Morales-Barreto. ''It's crazy, and they can be assured that the whole parish, which is huge and financially stable, will be behind Walter Cuenin, and not behind Brighton.'' Law's residence and offices are in Brighton. The ban was announced in a terse e-mail from the archdiocesan secretary for pastoral services, the Rev. Arthur M. Coyle, to the heads of archdiocesan agencies. The e-mail was sent Tuesday, and a copy was obtained by the Globe yesterday. The e-mail reads: ''Good morning, All! Because of some past issues, as well as current issues now being addressed, the cardinal announced at cabinet this morning that until further notice no archdiocesan-sponsored or archdiocesan-related meetings, programs, workshops, etc. are to be held on the grounds of Our Lady Help of Christians parish in Newton.'' Cuenin was not sent a copy of the e-mail, and neither Law nor any of his aides has called Cuenin to explain the action. The e-mail does not offer any explanation. Law's spokeswoman, Donna M. Morrissey, confirmed the prohibition, but declined any further comment. Cuenin said he was upset by the step. ''It's a slap at the parish, but also a slap at me, and what really irritates me is that even in this climate, it's all still being done in secrecy,'' he said. ''I've never heard of anything like this, where the archdiocese would single out a parish. On the one hand, you want to laugh about it, but on the other hand, it's sad.'' Cuenin said he is not sure what triggered the ban, but he suspects it is his plan to hold a meeting with priests. Cuenin said he might have further offended the chancery when he declined to allow archdiocesan fund-raisers to attend the meeting, which he thought should be a conversation among parish priests. ''I'm dismayed because it just came out of the blue,'' he said. ''Whatever the issues are that we're talking about have never been called to my attention.'' The director of the archdiocesan capital campaign, Kenneth Hokenson, said he has no problem with priests meeting to discuss their concerns. ''I have no problem with the clergy talking out how they feel about it,'' Hokenson said. ''I realize that, like a lot of the laity, a lot of the clergy are upset about what has transpired, and that having them conduct a capital campaign in the midst of this is a very difficult job for them. We're sensitive to that, and we're there to provide whatever assistance we can.'' Hokenson said the campaign has raised nearly $190 million in pledges and gifts so far, toward a $300 million goal. The campaign is scheduled to end June 30. About 135 parishes are scheduled to begin raising money for the campaign early next year. Over the last decade, Cuenin's Washington Street church has been heavily used for archdiocesan events because of its size, location near Boston and the Mass. Pike, and ample parking. It is also just a few miles from the chancery, allowing the cardinal to make brief appearances at gatherings. The church was used most prominently by the archdiocese in 1995, when Law chose it as the site for the visit of Mother Teresa. And several events were scheduled for coming months, including a visit by Law on New Year's Eve. Home to 2,600 Catholic households, the church ordinarily draws about 1,800 people to Sunday Mass, although attendance there, as elsewhere around the archdiocese, is down because of the sex abuse crisis. Our Lady's is generally regarded as one of the most vibrant of the 362 parishes in the Archdiocese. The church was the first of eight churches profiled in the book ''Excellent Catholic Parishes'' (Paulist Press, 2001). The scandal has hit home at Our Lady's - the church is home to the former parishioners of Saint John the Evangelist Church in Newton, which before being closed had been led by the Rev. Paul R. Shanley, an alleged serial abuser of young men. Cuenin has had a cordial but complex relationship with church leaders, and a somewhat unusual clerical career. Ordained in 1970, he once took a year off to work as a travel agent. He has occasionally been summoned to meet with his supervisors over comments that were perceived as too liberal. He attracted Law's attention in April when he urged the Legislature to reject a ban on same-sex marriages, despite the support for the ban by the Catholic bishops of the state. Law demanded a copy of Cuenin's testimony and then asked for a meeting with the priest. But Law then canceled seven successive appointments with Cuenin and has never spoken with him about the issue. The archdiocesan newspaper, The Pilot, which is controlled by Law, raised critical questions about Cuenin in September after Cuenin was quoted in the New Yorker as saying that the issues of birth control, divorce, and the ordination of married men and women should be discussed. Cuenin was quoted as saying that the church should not describe gays as ''disordered,'' and, most provocatively, as declaring that ''exceptional women are waiting to serve. We have married men who would make wonderful priests. We don't need more vocations - they are already here. Let's just accept them.'' But Cuenin holds an important position at the archdiocese - he is the director of pilgrimages, meaning that he accompanies the cardinal and local Catholics on trips to see the pope or to visit Rome. And he is a founder and leader of the Boston Priests Forum. ''The vast majority of people respect him greatly and think his leadership has been of the highest order,'' said parishioner Margaret Roylance. ''He's certainly exceptionally outspoken for a pastor in the Archdiocese of Boston, but it says in the Bible `by your fruits you shall know them,' and what has he produced? A really active, thriving parish that is centered in the Eucharist and is all the things that a faith community ought to be.'' The parish's top lay leader, parish pastoral council vice-chairman Drew J. Hannah, said Cuenin ''is not a troublemaker. His posture is to work within the system, and not to alienate people that may have more traditional beliefs. He does that better than anybody I've seen so far.'' The move against Cuenin was not the first time Law and his subordinates have acted this year against groups perceived as critical of the church. In April, he ordered priests not to cooperate with an evolving coalition of parish leaders, which his top aide termed ''superfluous and potentially divisive,'' and in October he imposed a freeze on allowing new chapters of Voice of the Faithful, a lay group, from meeting on church property. The Rev. Robert W. Bullock, pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Sharon and a leader of the priests' forum, said it is difficult to know what the latest step means. ''Is it directed against the parish? Is the parish being bad? Or is it because the Boston Priests' Forum met there? We're full of doubt about it,'' Bullock said. ''If it's a question of Walter Cuenin, I think that's ill advised in the extreme. Walter Cuenin is an admirable pastor, he's very bright, he's theologically sound, and he's courageous. If we don't trust priests like Walter Cuenin, we are in grave difficulty.'' Michael Paulson can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You can purchase the upgrade version of WIndows 7 if you are currently running Windows XP or Windows Vista. Anything earlier, and you'll need to buy the full version.

script that
gets installed with Textpow.

Updating theme files
Currently only XHTML is "officially" supported by ultraviolet, nevertheless,
experimental latex output support already exists and other output formats can
be included in the future. This is important because theme conversion is format
dependent. For xhmtl, the command is theme2xhtmlrender
as shown in the
following example.
theme2xhtmlrender $THEME_DIR/Amy.tmTheme
For latex, the command theme2latexrender
is used instead.

In the following excerpt, Perloff lauds Akhmatova as a standout female poet who resisted the force of history and the pressure of gender expectations from interfering with her work.
[The Complete Poems of Anna Akhamatova], a bilingual edition, with extraordinary notes, biographies, photographs, illustrations, and facsimile pages, would be a bargain at twice the price. The poems themselves, of which more in a moment, are framed, in Volume I, by a Translator's Preface, in which Judith Hemschemeyer, herself a poet, provides valuable comments on Akhamatova's prosody and stylistic habits, and by the editor Roberta Reeder's 160-page critical biography of the poet, which could easily have been published as a separate book. Then in Volume II, there are further biographical memoirs, this time by Isaiah Berlin and by Akhamatova's protégé, the critic Anatoly Naiman. At the back of Volume II, following a group of 200 uncollected...

Yesterday evening guys from Quest presented their latest cool new tools at one of our company locations. They started with Foglight, a tool for Application Management. Using that tool you can see on one page the status of the applications that are running, where users experience some problems (based on thresholds), the number of users affected and where in the application stack the problem occurs. With a few clicks you can drill down to the actual origin of the problem. Foglight supports a number of application types (like Java, .Net, Siebel, SAP), different types of access (o.a. Apache, Citrix, Rich Clients), multiple infrastructures (Windows, Solaris, HP/UX, VMWare) and different databases (SQL Server and - of course - Oracle).
Foglight uses so called "Quest Collectors" on the web-, application- and databaseservers to sample data. That data is collected in the Foglight Management Server. Apart from that you can use an Experience Monitor and Viewer as a network sniffer.
Quest claims it is an end-to-end performance management tool, but actually the scope is somewhat limited to "just" the servers: storage is not included and for network management there is only a diagnosis and no suggested solution.
Foglight is complementary to Spotlight that has been around much longer. Spotlight is also a very nice graphical tool, but is - much more - limited to only one database instance.
Of course everything has it's price. This cool tool costs around 500 euro per CPU socket. A 'normal' implementation will cost you 20 - 200 kEuro (+ 18% support fee a year).
Also some new features of good old TOAD (v10) where addressed, like the enhanced ER Diagrammer, a new sort of Data Grid (with grouping, colors, hide/display columns etc.), an enhanced Data Generator - that can generate sample data with taking care of referential integrity and Unicode support. All the details are on www.toadworld.com.
The last product they showed was Foglight Performance Analyzer, a tool that has overlapping functionality with AWR, ASH and ADDM (but then without the Oracle Diagnostic and Tuning Packs license). The analyzer uses a StealthCollect memory tool to detect changes to the Oracle memory stack (without having an Oracle connection!) and offloads these changes to a data warehouse. So you can analyze and query the use and changes of your Oracle DB, without actually using the DB itself. Also tracking errors or dumps when the database itself is down is a nice functionality.
All in all a nice informative evening, with lots of tools that I definitely would like to try in a real environment (now I have to find a customer who uses or needs this sort of stuff).

It's a joy that really can't be described in words, so lucky for me her newest gem will do all of the talking for me. An intimate seaside affair with the prettiest of blooms from Brandy's Flowers & Candies and one darling DIY detail after another, it was a day that was flawlessly executed by the gorgeous bride, her dapper groom and an entire host of friends and family. Click here for all of the pretty.
From the Bride… Our wedding planning was focused around our guests' experience for the whole weekend (only ONE guest did not travel from out-of-state or overseas for the wedding). We narrowed in with a few simple goals for our details/vendors/decor: a) complement and don't compete with our beautiful surroundings, b) create a truly welcoming vibe for our intimate group ("homey elegance" without ostentation), c) trust the professionals we hired to do their thing, and d) only take on projects that will be truly successful and have impact (and don't stress if things are left out!). Our most important elements of the day were location, photography, food and music.

Description: Dean, a troubled, working-class lad from London, lands a job in a high-end art gallery and glimpses a world where the right name means instant acceptance. When the blue-blooded gallery owner takes him under her wing and into her family, the temptation for Dean to strip her son's aristocratic identity and join the jet-set life of parties, drugs, and status proves too powerful to resist. He falls victim to human ruthlessness and vulnerability. Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

A cask strength bottling from the now closed Glen Albyn distillery, distilled in 1975 and bottled at 26 years old in 2001.
The nose is quite light and fresh. There are some green notes with a lovely barley sweetness, stemmy cut hay and warm countryside air. The palate is smooth and well-balanced. There are notes of peels and mixed dried fruits. The cereal sweetness is rich and full and there are notes of barley sugar and vanilla fudge. The finish is spiced and peppery with a creamy texture.

Amazon and Target now selling iPad
Both Amazon and Target are now selling the iPad, just in time for the holiday season. We'd previously mentioned that Target would get the iPad in October, but having major online retailer Amazon on board as well just gives more choice for the purchasing of the product—especially since most customers will be able to get it tax-free, along with free shipping for Amazon Prime customers. You can check out the iPad on Amazon now.

Why is Congress wasting a company's valuable time and our tax money interviewing a legitimate business man?? Have they never seen one before? If they have nothing better to do, I suggest impeaching Obama. [A true threat to America] Fram Renewable Fuels better be careful dealing with the oppressive government. They live to punish producers.

How to win with mobile ads: Forget format and focus on value
Lars Albright, founder and CEO, SessionM
Everyone has an opinion these days about how to improve mobile ads formats.
The problem at hand seems clear enough: Mobile ad formats are borrowed from desktop screens, and it turns out that "do the same thing, only smaller" isn't a winning formula. That's why 88% of users have said they ignore in-app ads and 79% call them "intrusive," according to market research firm YouGov.
So what's the solution? Bigger ads? Better banners?
None of the above. Success for mobile ads won't come from new formats. It will come from new kinds of value. In mobile advertising today, value has to flow three ways: between publishers, users, and advertisers. Giving better value, not buying better space, is where advertisers need to focus.
It starts with the audience. Digital natives—people under 30 who have grown up with smart phones and the Web—are a new breed. They change screens 27 times per hour. They know what their attention is worth and they won't just give it away. They expect ads to be useful, entertaining, or pull their own weight in some other way.
How do marketers create this kind of value? Various innovations have sprouted up to try and answer this question, and no one path has yet taken hold of consumers' hearts and minds. But a few key themes seem to be taking root:
Relevance is a must. Mobile users think not in minutes, or even seconds, but in moments. Given the competing demands for users' time, mobile ad moments need to be more relevant than desktop moments, not less. If I'm looking at a travel app in the morning, I shouldn't be seeing random ads for stock tips or cheeseburgers. Ads should be smart and meaningful moments, something that users can even look forward to.
We live in a reward-based culture. Humans like to feel appreciated, digital natives even more so. Rewards offer that thank-you for time spent. The average U.S. household belongs to more than 14 reward or loyalty programs, spanning a variety of rewards, such as miles, points, or exclusive content. Rewards can't make people pay attention to something they'd otherwise ignore, but they will give booster rockets to good content.
There is no "perfect" campaign. We have access to amazing data on ad usage now, but too many marketers still become paralyzed when trying to figure out "What's the perfect campaign?" before a launch. Why wait when we can let customers tell us with testing? Launch faster and use data to optimize. The focus should be "What can we learn? What can we try that's new or different?" Then test, test, test.
These themes apply to all formats. Mobile ads need to be as vibrant and interactive as the mobile content they're part of. They need to be less like the "in your face" billboards in Times Square and more like being part of the buzz of excitement and interaction on the street.
So think less about the shape of your mobile ads, and more about their value. How can you reward viewers for their attention? This is the future of mobile advertising: the three-way win for your consumers, your publishers, and your brand.
Lars Albright is cofounder and CEO of SessionM.

Saint John Before the Latin Gate
About the Feast
Commemorates the attempted martyrdom of Saint John the Apostle in 95. John was bound and brought to Rome, Italy from Ephesus by the order of Domitian; the Senate condemned him to be taken to the Latin Gate and thrown in a cauldron of boiling oil. John stepped out of the cauldron without injury, and instead was exiled to Patmos.

Interrupting a Conversation
If your ADD/ADHD-related impulsive speech causes you to get excited and blurt things out while someone else is talking, say, "Oh, I'm sorry I interrupted you. I get excited and can't hold back my thoughts. Stop me if I do that. Now what were you saying before?"
Accepting that you make mistakes is an important lesson. Explaining those shortcomings to others is more important.

Apple has decided to settle a class-action lawsuit that claimed the company's in-app purchase policy did not do enough to prevent children from using their parents' accounts.

With Apple prepared to send email notices to "over 23 million iTunes account holders who made a Game Currency purchase in one or more Qualified Apps," the company may possibly end up paying a total of around $100 million… (Read more)

I have three sons who are 26, 22 and 19. They are all 5 foot 10 or 5 foot 11 and very strong. My second and third sons are in excellent shape.
I work out too, but certainly cannot lift as much as them, and I am not quite 5 foot 8. So they think that they are stronger than me.
But when there is a big cockroach in the house, who do you think that everyone calls? My sons? No way! They are big chickens. My wife and daughter are naturally excused from the chore.
I am the only one in the family who can deal with the problem. So despite being smaller and weaker than my sons, I think that I am the strongest! I am the cockroach executioner.
If you do not live in Hawaii, you have to understand that our tropical conditions produce some super cockroaches we call B-52s. Of course, we do not say "cockroach", we say "cock-a-roach." And while the B-52s are bad, the softer striped ones are even worse -- because they are more gooky when you hit or squash them!
Being strong is a relative thing. True strength is being able to deal with what needs to be dealt with.

Who Is The Strongest?

Oldham, who have now gone eight games without a win, were left paying for a dismal start which saw them go 2-0 down after 13 minutes.
Wednesday took only three minutes to go in front as a short corner was worked to Gary Teale, whose cross was headed in from six yards by defender Mark Beevers.
And the lead was doubled when Sedgwick bundled in from close range after poor Oldham defending helped Teale provide another assist.
Oldham pulled one back on 22 minutes – their first goal in more than 10 hours of football – thanks to a 25-yard drive by Filipe Morais which deflected beyond keeper Nicky Weaver.
The home side took control and Morais turned provider on the stroke of half-time, teeing up Dale Stephens for a blistering shot into the top corner from just outside the box.
Wednesday, however, pounced for the winner in the 52nd minute as Sedgwick converted at the far post from Tommy Spurr's left-wing cross.

By Froma Harrop
Proposals to raise Social Security benefits are a refreshing antidote to portrayals of the program as a mere drain on the Treasury. Details of some such plans are troubling — for reasons I'll go into — but the change in tone is most welcome.
Democratic Sens. Tom Harkin of Iowa and Sherrod Brown of Ohio are leading a campaign to raise benefits by about $70 a month and alter the cost-of-living adjustments to the beneficiary's advantage. The higher payments would be covered by raising the income cap, which is now $113,700, on paying Social Security taxes.
Interesting ideas all, especially raising the income limit. This alone could end the concern that in 2033, Social Security may be unable to maintain the current level of benefits.
But most importantly, it counters the nonsense that Social Security is in dire trouble. A completely self-sufficient program, workers and their employers pay for every penny of it. The accounting for the trust fund is cheesy, that's true, but there is no way the Treasury won't pay back the money it borrowed from it (again, real dollars collected via Social Security taxes).
Why it was a short eight years ago that Republicans were trying to launch the dismantling of Social Security through a privatization scheme. Recall former President George W. Bush pushing for a plan to let future retirees put their Social Security contributions into the tender hands of Wall Street. There was much bravado comparing the returns on private investments to "returns" on the government program.
All this ignored the reality that Social Security is insurance, not an investment. And it does other things, like help the children of workers who have died.
At the time, stocks were booming and house prices bubbling. Bush reassured workers that he would not let them invest their retirement savings in risky places.
Then the bottom fell out. Prices for the finest blue chip stocks cratered. Imagine the fallout had Bush's plan come to fruition. An enraged Joe Public, seeing his government-approved stock portfolio shot to smithereens, would have descended on Washington along with a million lawyers demanding to be made whole. What followed would have been one heck of a government bailout.
As many middle class Americans survey the ashes of more recent reversals in their finances — fallen house values, investments gone awry, lost jobs, shrinking pensions — Social Security is looking good. If all else goes bad, it will be there to pay the electric bills.
Today, only 43 percent of workers have more than $25,000 set aside for retirement, according to shocking numbers from the Employee Benefit Research Institute. That's down from an already unimpressive 51 percent in 2008.
Note that most of the above anxieties belong to the middle class. It is this rude awakening — plus the reality that Republican voters are getting older and themselves less confident — that has changed the politics of Social Security.
Thus, ideas being floated by left-leaning think tanks to tinker with Social Security's broad base by shifting more of its benefits to low-income people are dangerous. That turns it into a welfare program, and you know what happens to welfare programs in this country.
Politicians don't mess with Medicare, which serves the rich, poor and those in between, the way they mess with Medicaid, a program mainly for the poor. Liberals should observe that a conservative tactic for weakening Medicare is to stuff it with so much means testing — scaling benefits according to income — that the well-to-do care less and less about the maintaining the program.
Rising income inequality is an important concern, but there are other ways to help the poor. Social Security is strong because it works for everyone.

Decoding "Do They Know It's Christmas?" [Lyrics, Video]
One of the most popular and enduring Christmas songs is the 1984 UK "supergroup" charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?". You may recognize some of the voices, but who was all involved?
The project was the brainchild of Irish musician Bob Geldof, who called on his famous friends to help the less fortunate in Africa.
Here's a list of who was involved and what parts they sang:
"It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid"
"At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade"
Paul Young
"And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy"
"Throw your arms around the world, at Christmas time"
Boy George
"But say a prayer; Pray for the other ones"
George Michael
"At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun"
George Michael/Simon Le Bon
"There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fear"
Simon Le Bon/Sting
"Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears"
Tony Hadley/Sting/Paul Stanley/Billy Gibbons/Bono
"And the Christmas bells that ring there, are the clanging chimes of doom"
Sting/Bono/Paul Stanley
"Well, tonight, thank God it's them, instead of you"
"And there won't be snow in Africa, this Christmas time"
Boy George/Paul Weller/Sting/Cliff Richard
"The greatest gift they'll get this year is life"
Bono/George Michael/Boy George
Boy George
"Where nothing ever grows"
Paul Young/Paul McCartney/Roger Daltrey
"No rain nor rivers flow"
Paul Weller/Paul Stanley
"Do they know it's Christmas time at all?"
"Here's to you"
Marilyn/Glenn Gregory/Rick Parfitt/Francis Rossi
"Raise a glass for everyone"
Paul Young
"Here's to them"
"Underneath that burning sun"
Paul Young
"Do they know it's Christmas time at all?"
Paul Young/Paul McCartney
"Feed the World, Let them know it's Christmas time again"
And, of course we can't forget the original video (look at those hairdos!)

WWE Diva's Championship
Beth Phoenix (c) vs. Kelly Kelly
The bell rings and it looks like we're ready to begin this match. Beth asks Kelly to slap her again, calling her out. Beth hits Kelly and Kelly finally does respond with a slap. Beth charges but Kelly pulls down the middle rope and Beth sails to the outside. Kelly goes out to the apron and hits a facebuster to the floor before slamming Beth face first into the ring apron repeatedly. Kelly locks her legs around Beth's neck and chokes her before they come back into the ring and Kelly hits a hurricarana that sends Beth into the corner. Beth is able to slam Kelly face first into the top turnbuckle before she pounds away at Kelly and grinds her elbow into Kelly's back.
Beth ties Kelly up in the ropes, pulling her by her hair before standing on her back and choking her on the middle rope. Beth pulls Kelly away from the ropes hard and slams her down to the canvas hard. Beth locks in a camel clutch and yells at the ref to ask her. Kelly is screaming as Beth is wrenching away at the hold, but eventually, Beth simply stomps down on Kelly's back, breaking the hold. Kelly surprises Beth with a quick roll up for two before she hits Beth with another facebuster and slams her face repeatedly into the canvas. Beth sends Kelly into the corner, but eats both of Kelly's feet. Beth slams Kelly down to the mat and tries for a couple of covers, but Kelly won't stay down for three.
Beth pounds away at Kelly non-stop before heading out to the apron and going up to the top rope. Beth goes for a big leg drop, but Kelly moves out of the way, and Beth crashes down to the mat on her bottom. Kelly goes for the rocker dropper, but she can't hit it as Beth goes for the Glam slam instead. Kelly reverses into a pin for two, but Beth turns it around for a two count of her own. Beth pulls Kelly up into powerbomb position, but simply tosses Kelly over her head and down to the mat. Beth pins Kelly and gets the three count.
Winner and STILL WWE Diva's Champion: Beth Phoenix
Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodreiguez are backstage. Del Rio is mad at Ricardo because apparently he couldn't get a car for tonight. Del Rio sends Ricardo away and turns right around into the Miz. Miz says they worked together for the greater good, but not tonight. Del Rio says he knows, and he was just using the Miz. Miz asks 'Really?', and says that's funny because Del Rio's title reign was as uneventful as the Raven's superbowl run. Miz says he beat Cena at WrestleMania, and Del Rio lost to Edge, who's neck was hanging on by a thread. Del Rio says Miz is a guy who thinks he's bad, but he's not. He says Miz is pathetic. The men are interrupted by Ricardo, who comes in with a plate of food. Miz shoves the food in Ricardo's face, and Del Rio shoves him to the ground to end the segment.
- Cole reminds us today that the last combat troops left Iraq. This leads us to a special taped message from some of the armed forces, thanking the WWE for the time. Classy move.
- Booker T makes his way out to the ring, and it looks like we're going to get the Booker/Rhodes match. Cody attacks Booker from behind and lays into him with repeated kicks while Booker's laid against the barricade. Cody's pulled away, and referees check on Booker. Booker looks confused, but he's led to the back by the doctor who says he needs to check on him before he can compete.

Creative Suite 6 comes in four editions -- Design and Web Premium, Design Standard, Production Premium, and Master Collection. Creative Cloud allows users to download and install all 14 CS6 applications, plus two new HTML5 products, Adobe Muse and Adobe Edge preview, plus cloud-based sync and storage.
'Radical New Way'
The company said in a statement that Creative Cloud was "a radical new way of providing tools and services that will change the game for creatives worldwide." Muse allows designers to create and publish HTML5-based Web sites without writing code, and Edge provides tools to create HTML5 animations.
With Creative Cloud membership, users can also deliver mobile apps they've developed to iOS and Android marketplaces through the Cloud's publishing services, or publish, manage, and host Web sites with access to Adobe Typekit and its large library of fonts for Web sites. Updates to CS6 applications will be available via the Cloud before they are generally available as updates.
The Cloud also provides integration for Adobe's growing line of touch-based tools, which now include Photoshop Touch, Adobe Ideas, Adobe Collage, Adobe Debut, and Adobe Proto. With a new app for the desktop, called Creative Cloud Connection, users can sync, share, and store files across devices, up to 20 GB.
The Cloud is available through a subscription membership of $49.99 monthly, with a one-year contract, as well as through a month-by-month option or a lower, special introductory price for owners of earlier Creative Suites. The company said it is currently developing training, support, and community features for Cloud users.
Adobe Mercury Graphics Engine
Michael Gartenberg, research director at Gartner, said Adobe's Creative Cloud is "definitely one step closer to where the personal cloud becomes more important than the personal computer."
He noted that the new pricing structure gives more choices to users, "who don't have to plunk down" a large outlay for a new app, and who can switch readily between Mac or PC. Increasingly, Gartenberg said, this kind of structure is becoming a standard, where apps "will have a cloud function just as they have a print function."
CS6 includes the newest versions of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Flash Professional. Customers can also purchase the collections or individual apps as before, with a new Master Collection going for $2,599 or $549 for an upgrade.
The many enhancements to the CS apps include faster performance for apps through use of the Adobe Mercury Graphics Engine that harnesses new hardware power, new Content-Aware capabilities in Photoshop that can fill in backgrounds or stretch images automatically, and new interfaces for Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and others.
There's also a streamlined ability to create multiple layouts for various media from a single set of content in InDesign, and a new 3D camera tracker in After Effects, for positioning a virtual camera in 3D space to better create such effects as 3D text with shadows.

Winston, Morgan, Linklaters, Dykema: Business of Law
Elizabeth AmonWinston & Strawn LLP announced that six attorneys and three associates joined the firm's Los Angeles labor and employment practice from Norton Rose Fulbright LLP.

Dykema Gossett Opens a Second Texas Office in Austin
Law firm Dykema Gossett PLLC opened an office in Austin, Texas, the firm's 13th nationwide and second in the state.
Establishing the office are a mix of nonpartner lawyers from outside and within the firm, including senior counsel Kimberly L. Kiplin, an attorney in Dykema's government policy group and former Texas Lottery Commission general counsel. The office will be further augmented by two Dallas-based partners, including Bill Finkelstein, director of Dykema's Texas offices.
"Our expansion into Austin is driven by our single-minded dedication to serve our clients' needs," Finkelstein, a member of the corporate finance and bankruptcy practice groups, said in a statement. "As Texas is the second most-populous state in the nation, and Austin the center of state government, opening an office here makes strong strategic sense."
Dykema opened the Dallas office in 2007, and during 2013 the firm has added 10 attorneys to the Texas offices. In January, the firm opened a Minneapolis office and last August one inn Charlotte, North Carolina.
Kiplin is a senior counsel in Dykema's government policy practice group with more than 25 years of experience in administrative law. Kiplin was general counsel of the Texas Lottery Commission from 1993 to 2012.

"The largest annual total for U.S. law firm mergers was 70 in 2008," according to Altman Weil principal Ward Bower. "If the current pace continues, it looks like 2013 will surpass that record."

Baker & McKenzie LLP's acquisition of 45-lawyer Habib Al Mulla in Dubai was the only cross-border deal in the second quarter, Altman Weil said.
Altman Weil MergerLine tracks law firm combinations reported by media outlets and in press releases. The consulting firm maintains an archive of mergers and analysis.
BP Urges Appeals Court to Reject Costly View of Spill Accord
BP Plc, with billions of dollars at stake, seeks to lower payments from its partial Gulf of Mexico oil spill settlement by persuading a federal appeals court to order stricter standards for evaluating claims.
The administrator, Patrick Juneau, is approving millions of dollars in "fictitious" payments for business losses based on what BP believes is a flawed interpretation of the agreement reached with victims' lawyers in 2012, according to BP.
"Stop the hemorrhaging of cash," Theodore Olson, a partner at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LL and a BP lawyer, told a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals yesterday in New Orleans, urging the judges to reverse a lower-court ruling and rein in Juneau. "Irreparable injuries are taking place, and monies are being dispensed to parties from whom it will unlikely be recoverable."
An attorney for the plaintiffs, Samuel Issacharoff, told the panel that London-based BP was aware as early as April 2012 of the method that would be used and the likely results.
BP underestimated the price tag, Issacharoff told the judges. "They costed it out in a way we thought was erroneous from the very beginning."
The appeal is BP Exploration & Production Inc. v. Deepwater Horizon Court-Supervised Settlement Program and Patrick Juneau in his official capacity, 13-30315, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (New Orleans). The lower court case is In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010, 10-md-02179, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana (New Orleans).

S&P Request to Throw Out Ratings Fraud Suit Tentatively Denied
Standard & Poor's effort to have the U.S. Justice Department's fraud lawsuit over credit ratings on mortgage-backed securities thrown out was tentatively rejected by a federal judge.
U.S. District Judge David Carter issued a tentative ruling to lawyers for the company and the Justice Department at a hearing yesterday in Santa Ana, California. The judge said he initially planned to let the case proceed, though he hasn't made a final decision.
"I want to go back and really look at this again," Carter said. He said he would issue a final ruling by July 15. The judge said that if he did grant the company's request to dismiss the lawsuit, he would allow the government to amend its complaint.
The U.S., accusing the company of being more concerned about getting continuing business from companies that paid it to rate securities than the accuracy of the ratings, seeks as much as $5 billion in civil penalties. Yesterday's court hearing was the first over the Justice Department's claims that S&P defrauded investors with assurances that its ratings were independent, objective and free of conflicts of interest. S&P lawyers, including John Keker of Keker & Van Nest LLP, argued that reasonable investors wouldn't have relied on its "puffery" about credit ratings.
"They're seeking to blame the entire financial crisis on Standard & Poor's," Keker said. "Those generic statements don't make a scheme to defraud. For a scheme to defraud, there has to be a specific intent to harm the victim, in this case the investor."
The lawsuit was brought by U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. in Los Angeles under the 1989 Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act, a law passed after the savings and loan crisis to allow the government to seek civil penalties for losses of federally insured financial institutions caused by fraud.
In its 119-page complaint, the Justice Department cited meetings, messages and memos to support its claims.
The case is U.S. v. McGraw-Hill Cos., 13-cv-00779, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Santa Ana).
