When's the cheapest time to fly over the holidays?
Haven't bought your Christmastime airline tickets yet? Your best way to get a bargain may be to be flexible about when you fly.
First, the bad news. You may well pay more to fly this year. Airlines have managed to keep airplanes full and fares up. The average round-trip domestic airfare this Thanksgiving is $386, up nearly 9 percent from last year, according to the online ticket site Travelocity, and holiday fares should show a similar rise.
As for tips, one of the biggest is the need to look at different dates. Even if you think your travel days are set in stone, finding how much you could save by moving your flight a day or two in either direction might change your mind.
Despite popular belief, there isn't a best time of day or day of the week to buy your tickets, according to an airline revenue manager who spoke to The Huffington Post on condition of anonymity.
"Many airlines tend to announce sales on a Monday leading other airlines to match certain fares the following day, but this is not a hard and fast rule," the manager said.
The manager also said that big fare changes tend to happen at 21 days, 14 days, 10 days, 7 days and 4 days before a flight, although airlines can change domestic fares four times a day. Bargains just before a flight come when airlines have a bunch of empty seats to fill on competitive routes. And Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are often the cheapest days to fly because those days have fewer business passengers.
Good luck.

The UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour of Italy – one of football's major hotbeds – has come to a triumphant conclusion in Rome.
The great Italian city's Piazza del Popolo welcomed 32,750 visitors over three days between 19 and 22 October, and brought a wonderful autumn journey, presented by UniCredit, to a memorable close. Ambassadors Cafu and Christian Vieri helped keep the atmosphere at a peak as no fewer than 7,931 photos were taken of the silverware that today's football greats yearn to win.
The UEFA Champions League trophy tour ambassador in Rome relished the occasion. "To be the ambassador is spectacular," said Brazilian ace Cafu, who won the UEFA Champions League with AC Milan in 2007. "It's an important role. It's a role that not everybody can do. You don't even have to encourage the fans to come here and see this fantastic trophy. They know about the importance of this trophy."
UniCredit ambassador Vieri, a runner-up with Juventus in 1997, echoed Cafu's comments. "I think the Champions League trophy is the most important trophy there is for a player and for a club," he said. "Everybody plays football to participate in the Champions League and to win it."
On Sunday, fans watched the climax of the UniCredit Cup, a 32-team youth tournament for children born in 2000/01 and playing for sides associated with the Centro Sportivo Italiano (which trains youngsters in different sports). The competition has been defined by positive values such as respect and fair play.
A free exhibition was open to visitors, who were able to take a photo with the trophy and receive autographs from the ambassadors. UEFA and UniCredit representatives joined football celebrities to discuss the UEFA Champions League and its enduring magic.
Fans in Rome checked out the huge UniCredit Arena, a large pop-up stadium complete with entrance tunnel. The arena offered supporters computer-simulated shots on goal – and the chance to experience the thrill of being in UEFA Champions League action.
A video cube comprising four giant television screens added to the atmosphere, while a memorabilia exhibition displayed players' boots and jerseys, as well as a changing room with kits from all 13 UEFA Champions League-winning clubs.

What's better than adopting one cat? Adopting two! They will keep each other company, and two felines means double the love and affection for you.read more
Out of the estimated six million to eight million dogs and cats entering animal shelters each year, 30 percent of dogs are reclaimed by owners compared to less than 5 percent of cats, according to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The big difference? Cats tend not to carry identification.
"Cat owners are so averse to using ID tags, collars or other identification," says John Snyder, HSUS vice president of the companion animal section. "Many cat owners say, 'I never let them out,' but anytime you open the door, you run the risk that your cat will get loose."
Here are the pros and cons of some of the most popular identification methods and the potential health impacts.
Cat Identification No. 1: Microchips
A microchip, usually embedded between your cat's shoulders, emits a code that a special scanner activates with radio signals. The scanner displays a unique ID that can be used to access ownership information from a database.
Cat Identification No. 2: Collars and Tags
Getting your cat to wear a collar with a small tag featuring your name and phone number or information from a pet registry, is one of the best and cheapest forms of cat identification. Tags need to be updated if you move or change phone numbers. Some municipalities require tags to prove a cat is vaccinated against rabies.
Cat Identification No. 3: Tattoo
One of the oldest methods of cat identification, tattooing is used more rarely to ID cats these days. Tattoos are usually applied inside the ear. Some countries use a standard tattoo symbol to indicate a cat has been neutered.
Cat Identification No. 4: Ear Notching
Ear notching -- or ear "tipping" -- involves the physical removal of a small portion of one of a cat's ears. This is most often used by feral cat management programs to ID cats after neutering, says Beaver.
Prevention, however, is the best method to prevent a lost kitty. Beaver concludes, "Generally speaking, we recommend you keep cats indoors."
Elizabeth Wasserman, a Washington, D.C., area-based freelancer, has been writing about pets, among other topics, for more than 15 years. Her love of dogs, in particular, was handed down through the generations from her great-grandfather, Eric Knight, who wrote the book Lassie Come Home in the 1930s.
Krista says: I think adding any kind of iicdntifneation is absolutely fantastic. I have had dogs go missing fom the handler. Thank G that the phone number was on the tags and he was wearing it.Does anyone know of a GPS chip provider. I think tracking through Global positioning is the best way to go. Microchip scanners can't read all chips.
Cats reach full skeletal development when they are this old:

Motorcycle couriers in Mexico City are doing booming business with the recent outbreak of Swine Flu. With over 20 million residents in the Mexico City metropolitan area, many of whom too afraid to venture outside with the outbreak, there has been an increased demand of residents turning to motorcycle couriers to fetch for them their daily necessities. One firm is doing so well that they're advertising for 'brave and willing' riders to keep up with demand. It just goes to show you that the end of the world will be a little bit more like Resident Evil 3, with motorcycles being the preferred mode of transportation, than Mad Max. We will miss the Thunderdome though.

Arsenal will look to claim their first win in three games when they go up against Fulham at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Saturday's late kick off sees Manchester United travel to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa, with Sir Alex Ferguson's side aiming to continue their recent run of good form.
In Saturday's other big games, bottom club Southampton will look for their second win of the season against Swansea, Everton will look to continue their fine start to the season against Sunderland, and Stoke place host to win-less QPR.
Sunday brings with it a host of big Premier League fixtures, starting with Tottenham's trip to take on Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Mario Balotelli broke Tottenham hearts the last time the two side's met, and the north London club will be hoping for revenge as well as three points to boost their top four charge.
Chelsea's league form has dropped off somewhat since their lightning start, and they will have a tough task in recapturing top spot when they go up against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
Sunday's final game sees West Ham go head to head with Newcastle at Saint Jame's Park

Pictures of a supposedly naked version of the BMW S1000RR have surfaced on MotoRevue, as the motorcycle was caught testing at BMW's proving grounds by spy photographers. Showing an S1000RR-esque motorcycle with a half-fairing, the motorcycle would be just the second addition to BMW's true sports bike line, after the S1000RR itself of course.
Expected to be a detuned version of the superbike variant, we can expect horsepower north 160hp, flat bars, and improved ergos from such a design experiment (in order to compete with the Aprilia Tuono V4 R and Ducati Streetfighter 848), though there is some reason to give pause about what these photos actually mean.

Welcome to Givin' the Devil His Due, we are an AU 6th Season Supernatural RPG. The plot diverges from from the show canon at the moment of Crowley and Castiel's Deal--in our world, that deal was never struck. Instead, a different and much darker bargain was reached, one which even principal players don't yet understand. Please register with your characters first and last name. DEAN WINCHESTER
It took them five months to get Sam his soul back, but once the younger Winchester was restored, things immediately started going to Hell. Literally. First the Wall that was supposed to protect Sam from his own memories failed. All of a sudden demons were everywhere, working on projects no hunter could understand, things that made no sense that anyone could patch together. Then the angels started acting openly on earth, making everything even more confusing and dangerous. Sam and Dean's relationship suffered under the strain, a few months ago they split and started hunting separately. Because there was so much to do, they said. Just temporarily, they said. But there are events taking shape that are already working to push the brothers back toward one another.
The dead are returning. Familiar faces, old friends and foes who ought to be long gone to their rest. Some, the angels have been bringing back. Others are Hell's avatars. The angels teeter on the brink of civil war, the demons squabble among themselves to find a new King, and all sorts of old debts are coming in due.
♔ Newly opened site! So come get the canons while they're open.
Originals are also welcome, so feel free to join in the fun <3

Hmm, this season didn't change my view on the characters drastically, but there were some changes.
Shana: My all-time favourite anime girl. I liked her more in season 1, but she's still awesome and kawaii in my eyes. I missed her triple urusai a lot in this season, as well as her aggressive personaliy sometimes (This is probably because of the many slice of life episodes this season) But her new cute outfits and her protectiveness of Yuji made up for it
She still gets a 10/10 from me.
Yuji: I didn't like him too much in season 1, but I like him quite a lot now. He isn't the helpless boy who can only whine no more. He learned to fight and has made his resolve to protect the village. He did show his weak side in the beginning of the season, but in the second half of the season he turned into a fine male lead. I didn't like that he was too indecisive in the love area though.
He gets a 8/10 from me.
Wilhelmina: I already liked her in season one, but I like her even more now. She really grew on me this season. She's stronger than she looks and her personality is really cute sometimes. Trying to act like her mother for instance. Combine that with the dry Tiamat...awesome
She gets a 8/10 from me.
Hecate: Most of her was anime original, but I still liked her. She stays pretty cute. She changed a lot from season 1 in some aspects though. Her new fighting abilities were nice and I liked that she had trouble with her new 'emotions' sometimes. They did 'overuse' her this season imo though.
She gets a 7/10 from me.
Dantalion and Domino: Don't ask...I just like the weirdos XD;
They get a 6.5/10 from me.

^ I don't really see how Hecate is overused. I doubt her screentime amounts to even 10 minutes through the whole season. She barely had any appearances aside from her attack on Yuji to seal silver again and the very last episode.
If i were to say which character is overused, it has got to be Kazumi. She didn't really have a purpose and the writers didn't really seem to know what she is supposed to do either. Her involvement in the story lacks any form of creativity and she is very limited in her actions, which would amount to thinking one thought: "i want to stand in the same place as Sakai-kun and Shana-chan".
Her role in season 1 was much more defined and her presence more meaningful. But it seems that after fulfilling her role as Shana's rival in season 1, now it seems the writers simply had ran out of ideas what to do with her, thus she ends up as presence with barely any purpose.
As for my favorites ... i am not really sure i have one Yes, i have some characters i would prefer over others, but i don't really like any of them to the extent i would want to vote for them on the poll and say "yes, this is a charater i like from SnS".

1) Shana : She was the reason I got into Shakugan no Shana. No Shana = no show IMO. And I love her melon bread love. +10 for Shana since shes voiced by Rie Kugimiya too. I may just be a closet lolicon though...
2) Alastor : I love him in the Shana-tan Specials.
3) Konoe Fumina : Even though the episodes she were in sucked hard I still like her. It may just be Noto Mamiko like ChrissieXD said.
All the other characters are likeable just not my favorites, though sometimes I wanted to smack my head repeatedly into a wall at Yuji's density at the 2 girl's feelings. If I hated 1 of them I would fast forward to the next scene in 0.001 seconds.

Kazumi - the main link in the series to the normal world, sweet, kind...... I'm saying the same things as ChrissieXD.
Personally, I think there was way too much hate and death posts at her...
Fumina - voted for her because of everything she is, except the Hecate deletes her part
Others, AKA Dantalion - crazy guy and fun to watch and listen to.

There was no character that I hated in this series. However, I had to narrow down my vote to four people.
Kazumi Yoshida- Poor Kazumi, so many people dislike her; worse, hate her. I thought Kazumi was a great character, very nice, helpful, and cool at times. She was very brave, following her "feelings" and sticking with what she believes. Apparently, some people don't like how normal humans think aka "Yuji, I want to be with you". But, then again, I'm probably sticking words into people's mouths, so ignore these, probably, false accusations.
Yuji Sakai- Surprisingly, there were problems with him, too. I still liked Yuji; he grew a lot in this season. He turned into quite a fighter, using the Bloodsucker and his sliver flame... thingy (I forgot). Yuji is awesome.
Margery Daw- She also grew more awesome this season. It was nice to see her a little more of her life, the whole Yuri and Annaberg episodes. Not to mention that she is so awesome and helpful in fights and in general. Basically, she is more awesome this season.
Fumina Konoe- Another controversy, I liked her. She was so "cute" and a competitor for Shana and Kazumi. Besides, she brought Shana and Kazumi more together.
"Honorable mention" goes to Wirhelmina Carmel, Shana, and Hecate.

Shana: Bah! obviously! Shana is the first Tsundere I've ever liked, she got me into other Tsunderes, and she is one badass moe loli. <3 She's so cute, with her PURE love of Melon Pan, and the fact she's so innocent when it comes to "IRL" things.
Konoe Fumina: Auughh <333 [-Huggles her-] She was like the definition of Moe. Goddamn. I love the fact she reaches out to birds, it's so innocent, and omfg her in a witch costume shoots me back to Yuki Nagato and Tabitha, oh Konoe Fumina is oh so cute in that costume. I cried like so much on episode 15 when she went away, then a lot at the final episodes, MEMORIES OF KONOE FUMINA BURSTED INTO MY MIND. ;_____;
Hecate: Much character development, and like she's pretty with earrings. She is like so hardcore, her attacks are like holy shit awesome, but her expressions include: expressionless face, Angry Face, confused face, sad face, and orgasm face. I happen to enjoy all of them, especially the last one. but she has like little screentime in this season, much to my disappointment...

Are you planning for weight loss? If so, you're going to need a guide, a map to follow. You need something that's guaranteed to work weight loss wonders. Bring forth the great weight loss plan.
Start simple and easy and then progress, like so.
Begin by adding more water to your daily fluid consumption. More water equals less water retention and bloating. It's the perfect diet nutrient.
Try walking 20-30 minutes a day, preferably after your last daily meal. This allows for full digestion and good blood and oxygen circulation and weight loss. Walking is one of the greatest weight reduction tools ever.
quick weight loss tips, quick weight loss tips, weight loss help,
Plan your days in advance. This means diet meals, workouts, and other activities. The mere action of planning your day puts your mind at ease and allows you to handle stresses and unforeseen circumstances, easier. It makes losing weight easier as well.
Write in a daily journal. A journal does many things. It keeps your weight loss efforts on track. It keeps you focused on your weight loss future. But most importantly it's like the exhaust for a car engine; it helps you get the bad things out so your fresh and prepared for more good stuff tomorrow.
You're going to be thinner tomorrow, so plan and plan and plan some more.
Spend some quiet time by yourself early in the morning. By waking up early you give yourself time to do many of the above weight loss activities without the anxiety of life immediately clamoring for your attention.
The great weight loss plan would not be complete without a mention of persistence. Persistence has been written about through the ages so much that I think there's been some devaluing of the trait itself.
Persistence guarantees your weight loss success. When you build the quality of persistence over time, losing weight suddenly becomes a breeze. It's like depositing money into a bank account. That money, or your persistence, begins to work for you in ways you cannot imagine.
Stick to your weight loss guns. Be persistent. The world will give you what you desire.

Steve Kerr weighs in on MJ-Kobe-LeBron debate
By Mike McGraw
Back when he played for the Bulls, Michael Jordan certainly had a knack for low-key manipulation.
He could tweak Jerry Krause, Jeff Van Gundy, Charles Barkley and many others while never threatening his status as the most popular athlete on the planet.
Things haven't gone as well since June 14, 1998. Jordan didn't make the playoffs in his comeback with the Wizards; the team he owns, Charlotte, is a doormat; and his 2009 Hall of Fame speech was widely criticized as being arrogant.
But with attention focused on his 50th birthday last weekend, Jordan was back.
First, when put on the spot to declare the best NBA player of this generation, he took Kobe Bryant over LeBron James. Next thing we know, Bryant blocked James' shot twice in the waning moments of Sunday's All-Star Game.
If James is outplayed by a 34-year-old Bryant, how could anyone argue James is better than Jordan?
Sure, there are flaws in that logic, and Jordan probably didn't anticipate that result when he made his statement. But he sure did come out of it looking like the true king of the NBA.
TNT analyst Steve Kerr, a former Jordan teammate, gave his take on the Michael, LeBron, Kobe triangle before heading to Chicago for Thursday's Bulls-Miami game at the United Center.
"I thought it was fascinating," Kerr said in a phone interview. "To me, it showed that really Kobe and Michael are a lot more alike with their mentality than LeBron.
"I think LeBron is more easygoing than the other two guys. I think Kobe and Michael share the same sort of maniacal competitive trait that is borderline psychotic, that can turn an all-star game into this personal battle.
"LeBron, in a way, was sort of above all that, like, 'You've got to be kidding me? It's an all-star game, who cares?' I think there was a part of Kobe that kind of decided, 'You know what, this is my last shot at LeBron this year. I'm probably not going to see him in the Finals, so I'm going to take my best shot.'"
Jordan got his shot blocked by Bryant in the 2003 All-Star Game, but that happened when Jordan was eight days from turning 40. Every time the Bulls play in Philadelphia, the 76ers show a young Allen Iverson crossing over Jordan on the video screen.
In general, though, Jordan seemed to get the best of every individual battle. When he lost, it was because teams like the Detroit Pistons ganged up to stop him.
Even when the post-baseball Jordan got his pocket picked by Orlando's Nick Anderson during the 1995 playoffs, that play only seemed to fuel the 72-win season and the second three titles.
"If the rules were the same now as when Michael played, he'd average 40 a game with ease if he wanted to," Kerr said. "The way people used to try to manhandle him and rough him up -- you can't do that anymore.
"You can barely touch a guy. As incredible as Michael was 15 years ago and as unstoppable as he was, it would be much more glaring now. I think it's important that we remember that."
James is in the midst of an amazing personal stretch. While leading Miami to 7 straight wins before the all-star break, he averaged 32 points and shot an amazing 69 percent from the field.
Jordan was very complimentary of James in his television interview. Asked to pick between Kobe and LeBron, he answered, "Five (championships) beats one every time I look at it. And not that (James) won't get five. He may get more than that, but five is bigger than one."
For years, many analysts, Kerr included, have suggested James has more in common with Scottie Pippen than he does Jordan. Like Pippen, James is a multiskilled team player and ace defender who does more than score.
Of course, James has kicked it up a few notches.
"(James) is more of a point forward than a scoring guard," Kerr said. "What he's done the last couple years has kind of become a Super Scottie because he's capable of doing a lot more offensively than Scottie did in terms of taking over a game.
"LeBron is just amazing and breathtaking to watch. I think he's great for the NBA. We're so lucky that we're even having this conversation, that we can even mention somebody in the same breath as Michael. And I think (Kevin) Durant is right there, too."
The Bulls certainly have plenty of respect for James. They tried to sign him in 2010 and ended up getting buried by James and the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals a few months later.
For the time being, though, Jordan has six titles, Bryant five and James one.
During all-star weekend, James made a good point, saying no one would argue Bill Russell is better than Jordan or Robert Horry is better than Oscar Robertson. There's more to the game than rings.
"When you make comparisons with these elite level guys, almost inevitably if you compliment one guy, it feels like you're sort of demeaning the other," Kerr added. "I think that's the wrong way to approach it.
"We're talking about probably the three of the best seven or eight players in the history of the game, and they're all phenomenal in their own right. They're just different."

Fairfield Warde pulls away from ND-Fairfield
FAIRFIELD -- For 30 minutes, the Notre Dame-Fairfield boys lacrosse team hung around against crosstown-rival Fairfield Warde.
But in the game's final 18 minutes, the Mustangs took their game to another level.
Kyle Scheetz scored once and added seven assists as the Mustangs posted 14-4 win over the Lancers on Senior Night Thursday at Tetreau/Davis Field.
Austin Armas scored four goals and Brendan King, Matt Petroccio, Jack Bambach and Charlie Edison each notched two as Warde (9-7) snapped a four-game losing streak, closing its regular season above .500 for the first time.
"We're just trying to get ready for states," Petroccio said. "We really pulled together."
Duncan Plumb led the Lancers with a goal and two assists as ND (7-8) had its three-game win streak snapped.
"They were getting their shots off right away," ND coach Frank Skawinski said. "We had a tough time winning the faceoff battle."
The Mustangs led 3-1 after one, then built a 6-1 advantage in the second quarter. But goals by Craig Hessenius and Plumb cut that lead to 6-3 at halftime.
Armas scored four minutes into the third, but Garrett Gintoli netted a goal less than two minutes later, cutting the Warde lead to 7-4.
"We told them we didn't want to let them hang around too long," Warde coach Tom Cunningham said. "They're a well-coached team, and if we let them hang around, they can come back on us."
Warde listened to its coach. The Mustangs found another gear and potted the game's final seven goals. Scheetz set up King's two goals just 51 seconds apart that made it 9-4.
"The game got close, and we just went into overdrive," Petroccio said. "We came out and started hitting the net."
King set up Bambach's goal at 2:33, and Scheetz assisted Edison's goal 55 seconds later that put the Mustangs up 11-4 after three quarters.
"Offense was moving the ball well," Scheetz said. "We were making cuts."
Warde outshot ND 13-1 in the fourth, tallying three fourth-quarter goals. The Mustangs outshot the Lancers 20-5 in the second half.
"That's the second half we've been looking for, that's the play we've been looking for the past week," Cunningham said. "The boys did a good job finishing it off for the seniors in that second half."

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on Real Money on Feb. 6. To see Jim Cramer's latest commentary as it's published, sign up for a free trial of Real Money.NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- Ya gotta have faith. But I don't believe in faith-based investing. I don't want to own a portfolio of do-gooders, because I tried that years ago at my hedge fund and a lot of do-gooders became no-good-nicks pretty much every quarter. What I am talking about is having faith in certain CEOs simply because they have gotten it right in the past and deserve to get the benefit of the doubt for the good work they have done for many years on the job and many good quarters, if not years. Prime example? Bob Iger at The Walt Disney Co. ( DIS). Last time Iger reported, he delivered a good-looking quarter, not perfect, and didn't provide the blueprint that people were looking for with the purchase of Lucasfilm for $4 billion. Plus, there were worries when it came to the future of ESPN, even as he told you not to worry about it. He said that ESPN -- one of the most amazing properties in the world because it simply can't be DVR'd effectively -- would do fine in 2013. Given how ESPN has been responsible for so much of the earnings power at Disney for many years, this lack of clarity stunned investors and traders alike. Consequently, the stock, which had traded as high as $53 before the call, plummeted to $47 as analysts, traders and investors showed a remarkable lack of faith in Iger's assurances. I thought the whole sell-off was insulting to Iger and assured people that this would be a tempest in a teapot, and an investible one at that. I told Iger that too, simply because I was astonished that this man, who has done so much good at Disney, didn't get the benefit of the doubt. Fast forward to last night. Iger delivered a quarter that literally answered every objection and then some. First, he laid out a multiyear vision for Lucasfilm, including multiple Star Wars iterations, plus other Star Wars-derived movie and entertainment properties that nobody had really counted on. You could tell that this acquisition is sounding more and more like Marvel II, a repeat of the amazing success of that acquisition. Oh, and don't forget that the Marvel-derived Iron Man 3 (sans my cameo in the first Iron Man) will be out soon to what I suspect will be blockbuster success.
Second, ESPN, instead of being soft, actually looks incredibly well set-up for terrific growth in 2013, running 7% ahead and maybe better as the year goes on. It is true that Monday Night Football was a bit of a downer in the last quarter of the year, in part because of the luck of the draw. They had some real dud contests. Alas, you have to take that risk in sports programming. Finally, Disney has terrific upside in theme parks courtesy of new rides that always attract repeat customers. While I am a total numbers guy, I still believe there is a CEO quotient that has to be applied to that price-to-earnings multiple to get through the tougher times and the disappointments. Iger has about the highest faith-to-stock-price ratio that I know of. Oh, and he has good taste in birthdays. We share Feb. 10 as our date of birth -- a worthless factoid that I point out only because we are on the eve of the big event and gifts are always welcome.

Pressure mounts on NHS IT
Headline transposition error describes problem
MPs are queueing up to have a go at the multi-billion pound NHS National Programme for IT, racked as it is with problems.
The House of Commons Health Committee has suggested it might comply with the demands of a group of 23 leading academics and investigate the need for an independent audit of the technical feasibility of the National Programme (NPfIT).
MPs on the committee believe it should hold a series of hearings to decide whether to order an audit, Computer Weekly reported today.
Another independent audit of the programme, by the National Audit Office (NAO), will report in the next three weeks on how well the project was managed and whether it was value for money. It will not determine whether the project was technically feasible.
The NAO report will form the basis of another committee hearing into NPfIT, by the Public Accounts Committee, on 26 June.
A Computer Weekly campaign, backed by academics and politicians, has increased pressure for a wider investigation into the prudence of NPfIT. ®

House Tour: Beth's Photogenic Home
Name: Beth Jansen
Location: Oklahoma City, OK
Size: 3500 sq. ft.
Years lived in: 1
The home that Beth shares with her family is big, and like the old saying, it's also bold and beautiful. She got in touch with us through our House Tour submission form and we are so happy that she did - this glossy, lush, patterned and textured home is some serious candy for our mid-winter color-starved eyes.
As a professional photographer, Beth can capture the spaces she has created in a personal way, picking up on all the design details that makes these rooms special, from the natural elements of the stone mantle and bath to the pop explosion of the shiny pink walls and collaged wallpaper. There are lots of great ideas and vignettes throughout the slideshow - take your time and enjoy the tour!
AT Survey:
My style: Modern/Eclectic
Inspiration: I shoot on location and I've been in hundreds of homes, I love a modern edge but I want every room to feel comfortable and inviting. I grew up more of a country/shabby chic setting so I'm fond of warm woods and organic elements. I am inspired by color; I love Jonathan Adler, and am never intimidated by color or pattern. I want to enjoy moments so my concern is not for timelessness.
Favorite Element: COLOR
Biggest Challenge: COLOR, since I use so much of it, I try to avoid the 'circus' feel.
What Friends Say: That I'm daring
Biggest Embarrassment: When I picked the colors for the master bedroom and walked in while all the furniture was thrown towards the middle of the room I gasped, it looked like a cheap candy store and my husband was PISSED. I took it on as a challenge and now my bdrm is one of my favorite spaces in the house!
Proudest DIY: My photography is pretty much art in every room.
Biggest Indulgence: Custom made pieces by my handy carpenter; He built my mantle, knocks out walls, even makes custom picture frames.. Currently he's building a look alike hive modern bicycle wheel coffee table!
Best advice: When drinking your coffee and looking around a room, make sure that room makes you FEEL, whatever that intended feeling is, feel it!! I KNOW my house is not for everyone but it's for my family and me and it makes us feel like we don't live in an incredibly conservative city!
Dream source: All the boutique hotels popping up all over the country. The décor is always chic and daring – amazing use of color and light. I want friends to feel like they are on vacation when they come over – unlike anything else in Oklahoma City :)
For cool Tile: Interceramic.com has some cool tile, (kitchen backsplash, master bath) Denim, Glow, and Grid series are awesome! And www.modwalls.com has some great stuff as well..
Furniture & Decor: More than half is from thrift stores and antique/vintage modern shops.
Love El Paso Import Company and Anthropology, CB2 and Hive Modern
Wallpaper: who cares where you locate it! The wallpaper in my family room is clearance high end wrapping paper, stuck up with wallpaper paste!
Art: From all over, all photography is mine, but anyone can take a picture of bamboo and hang it above a bed! Adds a nice punch of color!
I LOVE Etsy.com – pretty much the most time-sucking, money hemorrhaging website. Many of the paintings in my home were found on etsy and all under $300!
Love Domino, Elle Décor, Dwell, and even Country Living! I'm a total blog stalker and am constantly inspired by other's art, photography and otherwise. I'll design a room around a single piece or an outfit someone wore!
Thanks, Beth!

MADISON, Wis. — Many thousands of protesters marched around Wisconsin's Capitol while hundreds more gathered in the building's rotunda during daylong demonstrations against a new Republican-sponsored law that weakens the state's public employee unions.
While the protesters marched, legislators from both parties made it clear that they are prepared for political war.
"It is going to be a battle for the future of the state of Wisconsin," said Sen. Mark Miller, the Senate's minority leader and one of 14 Democratic senators who fled the state to Illinois last month in an effort to block passage of the bill.
Miller and the other senators spoke during a news...

Here's your future Oscar winner
Lindsay Lohan was only two hours late last night to the Liz & Dick premiere. Response from the assembled media in attendance: well at least she showed up. All of her. All the cheapness, all the injections, all those lips. So much lip. Lips so large Nicole Kidman's seem regular-sized in comparison.
There was also an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno during which she insisted that the time isn't "right" yet for her to be interviewed by Barbara Walters and, well, Jay being Jay, he didn't push, and that's why they send him all the ones who can't be pushed.
So is Liz & Dick the beginning of a comeback? Will we look back one day, when she's holding her Oscar, and point to Liz & Dick as the turning point?
According to The Hollywood Reporter "drinking games were made for movies like this".
According to ABC News, "great actors disappear into roles. Lohan photo-bombs this one".
According to Entertainment Weekly, she didn't even bother speaking like Elizabeth Taylor; she didn't bother changing her voice to resemble the person she was playing, in spite of the fact that she would have had a house-full of research material to draw from.
Remember, the press has been under no obligation to kiss Lohan's ass, not for some time now, the way it's expected of them for other celebrities. She has f-cked her own career so hard that the media can report on her candidly without fear of repercussion. And on top of that, with this joke of a "movie", many of them now feel insulted. There was not even the pretense of a story. There was no effort. Liz & Dick is simply a series of costume changes and shots of Lindsay Lohan either smoking or throwing glassware, more like a reality show than anything else.
So, you know, that Oscar is within reach now.

This hyper-scalable solution enables supplier and retailer trading partners to effectively collaborate at the shelf level for improved on-shelf availability, increased competitive advantage, enhanced profitability and optimal promotion and pricing plans
JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS), The Supply Chain Company®, today announced the release of JDA® Shelf-Connected Cloud, a revolutionary new solution that offers the unparalleled scale needed to connect manufacturers' supply chains to the retail shelf.
JDA® Shelf-Connected Cloud is designed to help supplier and retailer trading partners effectively collaborate at the shelf level to improve on-shelf availability, remove unnecessary inventory across enterprises and set new strategies that leverage cost savings across the entire value chain. Trading partners that collaborate using this new paradigm will be able to offer their joint consumers a new level of competitive pricing by connecting their supply chains.
In a shelf-connected supply chain, suppliers collaborate with their distribution and retail customers to plan an optimal product assortment and planogram for each store or store cluster, then develop and synchronize their demand and inventory replenishment plans driven by consumer sales. This framework integrates a supplier's planning and execution processes with a retailer's planning and execution processes to better align all processes with consumer demand. By having a view of the cross-enterprise supply chain flows, partners can develop strategies that consider the cost savings across enterprises and leverage it to deliver more value and innovation to their consumers.
Suppliers can collaborate with retailers to create a time-phased retail order plan. Many large retailers today still struggle with developing or completing accurate, bottom-up time-phased order plans that are driven from shelf sell-through. So, suppliers who leverage a shelf-connected solution can strategically elevate their partnership levels with retailers. Benefits of the solution include the ability to:
• Scale to the shelf-level
• Deliver fast time to value by leveraging the cloud
• Quickly see the effects of assortment, space and supply chain strategies and their impact on performance and financial results
• Deliver a collaboration platform to drive efficiencies across enterprises and their inter-connected supply chains
• Align the people, processes and tools necessary to focus attention on the critical few actions that will drive significant and immediate results
• Develop optimal supply chain, promotion and pricing plans driven from shelf-level demand signals
As part of the comprehensive JDA® Shelf-Connected Cloud solution suite, JDA Software today also announced the release of JDA® Collaborative Shelf Planning & Analytics. Suppliers managing sell-through at the shelf must be equipped to handle the associated exponential increase in planning intersections and decisions. JDA's supply chain planning architecture is unique in its proven ability to scale to meet the challenges of driving decisions from the shelf. JDA Collaborative Shelf Planning & Analytics enables companies to manage and transform mountains of data into actionable information. This solution drives visibility and enables analytics such as out-of-stock detection, sell-through analysis and inventory performance directly from the shelf.
"In today's ultra-competitive markets, the ability to manage products across multiple channels and the entire product lifecycle becomes essential to maintaining profitability and competitiveness," said Fred Baumann, vice president, industry strategies, JDA Software. "By leveraging shelf-connected supply chain practices, trading partners become aligned on not just the next order, but on the larger horizon of orders. The insights associated with these activities are leveraged by both the supplier and retailer to drive higher consumer satisfaction in a mutually beneficial and profitable way."
For more information about how companies can become more consumer- and shelf-centric with end-to-end supply chain collaboration visit www.jda.com/solutions/shelf-connected-cloud or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
