Spire has been slowly making in-roads for the PC accessories market. With their initial success it is not surprising to witness their next generation of cooling solutions. Let the Eclipse begin.
Coated in a beautiful dark nickel finish and sporting twin BlackStar fans the Eclipse is sure to shine in any case with a windowed panel. Looks aside it has a winning combination of features that should really give the long reigning CPU Coolers something to sweat about.
Five 8mm heatpipes come into direct contact with the CPU giving more than enough transfer area to wick heat away. Coupled to these heatpipes are 46 individual aluminum fins to aid in the heat transfer. Notable as well is how tightly packed the sides of these fins are on the leading edges. This should almost act like a shroud in directing the airflow through the cooler and not losing airflow through its sides. Of course one needs higher powered fans to usually do that, something the Eclipse looks to feature. Both BlackStar fans bear unique resemblance to something Coolermaster offers, and if this is the case this cooler has a lot of potential to shine.
Compatibility is just as important in this day and age, and as such the TherMax Eclipse comes ready. Intel Support is everything 775 and onwards, while AMD is 939 and up. This should give builders past and present something to look forward to when it hits store shelves.
Availability is slated for this month with an MSRP of 52.99USD.

By using a condom when you have sex you will prevent the transmission of most sexually transmitted infections and avoid becoming pregnant. Condoms can be obtained free of charge from the Sexual Health Clinic at Gaol Street Health Clinic, Hereford, most GP surgeries and some Health Visitors. Condoms are also widely available to buy from many shops and supermarkets, with discount priced condoms available from machines at most of the leisure centres in Herefordshire.
The Sexual Health Clinic can also provide emergency contraception (sometimes called the 'morning after pill'), other forms of contraception and pregnancy tests. You can also go to the Clinic to be tested for sexually transmitted infections, and can be treated there if needed. The service is entirely free of charge, friendly and confidential. There are clinics most days of the week including some evenings. Please ring for an appointment on 01432 378915. If you are 18 years old or younger, you can also attend the clinic without having to make an appointment on Wednesdays from 2pm-5pm.

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Pork Chops with Buttermilk Ranch
I don't know what goes on in your house, but for me, weeknight cooking for my family of four is just about all I can handle. But sometimes, things expand. People wander by. Family comes to visit. People want something to eat, and they see you have a lot of pots and pans, so they expect you will provide.
In these cases, there are really only three options in my view:
1. Play hooky from work (when your employer calls to ask what you are up to, use phrases like "investigating" and "bad cell area"), spend the entire day whipping up tamales or some such, and when your guests ooh and ahh over your efforts, say casually, "Oh really? That was nothing. You should be here on Tuesdays. That's when I really bring it."
2. Race home from work, stopping at the store on the way home to pick up some basics, curse the person in front of you in line who feels the need to write a check. Come home, attempt to trim 15 minutes off of every recipe, spill apple cider vinegar everywhere. Cry a little. This is my usual plan.
3. Trick your guests with something super simple, made slightly less so with its garnish.
If you want to go for number 3 – and I think you should – I hope you will consider Pork Chops with Homemade Buttermilk Ranch by mtlabor.
All you are really doing here is pan searing a pork chop (or if you prefer, grilling it, which would be terrific) and passing it off as something special. Which this buttermilk ranch really is, because this recipe involves two super fantastic fix-everything ingredients: buttermilk and anchovies.
You are mixing those bad boys up with some sour cream, lemon and a few extras like chives and dill, and then letting the mixture sit in the fridge for a while to get that nice cool smooth yummy feel that only homemade ranch can bring us. (I made a lemon meringue pie as it sat, which was a perfect ending to this sort-of-southern-style dish.)
The chops themselves take only a few minutes, so you grab them, drizzle the ranch on the side, and throw some veggies on the plate (I went with green beans sautéed in olive oil and some lemon zest) and there you go.
Delicious, said my guests. Was it hard? I didn't even have to lie.
Pork Chops with Homemade Buttermilk Ranch
By mtlabor

Palpitating heart bubble: I have to tell this kid that I just met and lost his identity thief.
"Your credit cards, ID and business cards were just utilized in my cab and I have the plate number of the vehicle they took off in. They may still be in the neighborhood. Call the cops right away. Let them know I intend to assist to the furthest capacity".
"Yeah whatever, try to hurry up" (perhaps not believing the extent of it) is their response at the fleet. But between 17 and 1800 they call at least a dozen times, demanding the cab be brought back immediately, so that the outraged night shift driver can start his shift. One of the sleuths gets on the phone and chews them out right back. "Listen carefully, we could have this taxi quarantined for a week if you like! Just hold your horses (horse-hiring) and we'll get this guy (horse) homebound as soon as we're done, ok?" Taxi dispatch backs off and gives me no hassles upon a 100 minute late arrival. Night driver is a frustrated veteran of the avenues who expresses to me that he'd gone through far worse scenarios in previous decades of hacking (a token of empathy??).
"Gil, Gil! We need you now! Where are you? Can we pick you up? Can you be here in 10? Catch a cab, I'll pay for it. I called the perp myself and he answered. I pretended to be you and asked if he'd hook up my sister with a gift card. It took him a minute to recall the cab ride, but he agreed to meet you in half an hour at... (a busy lower Manhattan intersection)."
My heart's pumping and the short train ride feels like eternity, and a movie. I call the squad soon as I surface. I'm instructed to run in the direction they're driving from. Strobe lights spin and a siren screams as they run red lights toward me. Three ferocious undercover cops, fully tattooed and seemingly on steroids, sit in passenger seats while the detective steers the wheel. They barely make me enough room to sit down and we're off, strobes and sirens still blaring. Black, fully tinted Lincoln Town Car.
Perp asks me what in the world was that all about and I answer calmly that he's my taxi partner and we share a phone. I then pull out my wallet and pretend to count my money in preparation for the gift card purchase. Meanwhile, he asks me why I was being so meek and that it was freaking him out. He looks out the window in both directions a few times and tries to hurry me up. Feels like a lifetime since I cued the detective and nothing.
This all is what I explained to my detective friend. He didn't hesitate to come testify and uphold my character in taxi court. Hearing was scheduled for 9 a.m., but by the skin of my teeth, I convinced the judge to postpone it for an hour so detective could arrive on time. She and the prosecutor kept poking fun at me, claiming it was simply a mathematical equation of points and timespan. It served no purpose for anyone to speak on my behalf.
Nor did they really believe an NYPD detective would actually show up to defend some poor (g)runt like me, which next to never happens. Meanwhile, they held countless brief hearings for dozens of other cabbies in the room, each a merciless slaying of a hardworking person's access to hard work and dignity. Still, I held on to the smallest morsel of hope.
Soon as detective arrived, I introduced him to my taxi lawyer, who briefed him on the courtroom atmosphere. Judge saw us next, letting detective give his speech first, so he could subsequently depart the building on other important tasks. It went very much like...
"This summons has been hereby dismissed. You may pick up the print-out up front".

Love Tim's pizza for the generous portions of cheese on the pizza. The service is always good. The cheesy breadsticks are tasty and the sauce is delicious. They also have very reasonable ice cream prices.

Pond Supplies
At Rock Bottom Aquatics we have over 20 years experience in supplying pond equipment to create the perfect pond, no matter what size.
All the pond liners we sell are excellent quality and come with lifetime guarantees. We cut them of the roll to get you the closest size to which you require with minimum wastage to keep costs down.
When you have fitted your pond liner you will probably need a pump and filter. Pond pumps come in many sizes and an important thing to remember when choosing a pump is that the greater the vertical distance between the pump and filter the less flow you will have. Your pump needs to filter about half your pond water per hour. If you are unsure which size of pond pump you require you can email or telephone for advice.
Pond filters also come in many different sizes. Unlike pumps were you need the right size for the amount of water, with a filter 'bigger is always better'. Most filters come with UV lights these days and we would always recomend buying a filter with an integral UV. The UV light will kill waterborne algae, eliminating green water. When choosing a filter there are a few things to consider. Amount of water, depth of water, amount of sunlight, quantity of fish. For example you will need a bigger Filter/UVC if you have a shallow pond, large fish stocks and a lot of sun.
For smaller ponds we sell combined pump, filter and UVC's like the Hozelock Easyclear. The whole unit goes directly into the pond, simple but effective. If you already have a pond filter but no UV, you can also buy these as seperate units which can be inserted before your filter.
Now you have the pond essentials, pond liner, pond pump and filter there are other products you may wish to consider. Pond air pumps, these are important in keeping up oxygen levels in your pond especially in summer (when it rains!) and oxygen levels become depleted. If your fish are gasping at the surface get an air pump.
Blanket Weed!! You might be lucky and avoid this, but if not we have the Blagdon and Velda blanketweed controllers.
Pond vacs are not essential straight away but over time your pond will get a build up of rotting vegetation, debris and silt on the bottom of your pond. If left unchecked this could lead to possible water quality problems so it is a good idea to remove this and the easiest way is with a pond vac.
On a final note don't forget you will need pond hose, clips etc. and maybe switches to connect everything up.
I hope this information will help you create your perfect pond and if you need anymore help please do't hesitate to get in touch.

WASHINGTON — After laboring to pull on form-fitting black tights, worn to aid recovery by promoting circulation, Joakim Noah turned playful.
"You think this is all fun and games?" he asked no one in particular. "I'm wearing tights!"
Then he sat down, placed a Bob Marley knit hat atop his flowing, curly hair and smiled.
"There's nothing better than winning a basketball game," Noah said with a sigh Wednesday night in Orlando, reclining deep into his locker at almost a 45-degree angle. "Nothing."

Badges, We Need Lots of Badges
We killed Curator after two wipes due to people DC'ing. I picked up a 2nd T4 token. There were only two Paladins in the Raid, and Reddrick passed on it. Since I have the S2 gloves, I went with the Ret set gloves.
Then we went and tried Illhoof.
This was the first time Aoesrus had been to Illhoof, and I have to say I was impressed with his showing. His DPS is decent considering he's Frost spec and he was quick to Ice Block out of Demon Chains.
We took 3 attempts to get Shade of Aran down. The downside to not having any Warriors or Rogues was we were a "bit" light on interrupts.
We defeated Chess on our way to Prince. We 2 shot him due to an unlucky Infernal drop in Phase 2.
We made a couple of attempts at Nethrespite. I wish Blizzard hadn't turned him into a Dragon, instead of leaving him a Demon as he was. He's a little tougher to pick up on the transitions. I not sure if it was people new to the fight or what, but he would get a little healing (blue?) beam on him every attempt. Twice we hit the enrage timer. Ouch.
It was a long and expensive night. I never complained much about Repair bills but mine are starting to get a little pricey. I don't mind this at all on Progression. Spending 30g on a farm night is a little tough, but it's worth it to be able to run with Aoes. I've really been looking forward to him getting to the level cap so we can run stuff together.
I farmed up another 11 badges in Kara, but I think it might be time for me to take a little break from there and start concentrating on ZA/Mag/SSC/TK, and see if I can get subbed in for Attumen/Moroes only. Moroes STILL owes me his Pocketwatch. It's the one drop that there just isn't a replacement for. It's basically an OH NO!! button for a class that doesn't really have one.
I missed out on a ZA run last night that formed up about an hour after the Kara did. I was bummed, but at least ZA is on a short reset.
I'm now up to 61 Badges and that means it's time for another upgrade.There are currently 8 upgrades I'm considering for my badge purchase.Iron Tusk Girdle, Girdle of Protector, Sabatons of Righteous Defender,Bracers of the Ancient Phalanx, Brooch of Deftness, Bonefist Gauntlets.
Let's go back and review how I evaluate gear for a Tankadin.
First goal is to get to 490 defense, then to get to 102.5% combined avoidance. Next we stack Armor, Stamina and Block Value until we meet the Effective Health minimum for a fight, and lastly we stack up our Pure Avoidance.
So I decided to plug each piece into http://www.warcrafter.net/. This is simply an amazing site. It reads your Armory and then lets you "sandbox" with different pieces of equipment. The really cool thing is that you can enchant and gem your new piece and see what your stats are going to be.
After running the numbers, I can stay above 490 Defense with any of these upgrades. Getting the Brooch of Deftness or the Bonefist Gauntlets would take me out of Uncrushable, so they are not an option at this point.
At this point the upgrades are all very close and I'll likely want to get them all. None of them offer the huge increases I saw when I got the Badge Chest, Legs or even Cloak.
Really I think I'm down to either the Girdle of the Protector or the Sabatons of the Righteous Defender.
Girdle of the Protector versus Crimson Girdle of Indomitable
+88 Armor
+4 Stam
-13 Def
-20 Block Rating
+27 Dodge
+ 18 spell hit
+23 Spell Damage
Sabatons of the Righteous Defender versus Elusion / Battlescar
+107 Armor/+107 Armor
+11 Stam / +17 stam
+0 socket / +2 sockets
-5 Def / -5 Def
-21 Parry / -38 dodge
+30 Block Value / +30 Block Value
+23 spell damage / +23 spell damage
+18 spell hit / +18 spell hit
Basically the spell hit and spell damage that attracts me to Belt also attracts me to the Boots. I'm trading Parry/Dodge for Block Value, Armor and Stamina on the Boots, and trading Defense and Block Rating for Dodge, Stamina, and Armor.
It seems like a classic Effective Health versus Effective Damage Frequency debate.
Given my choices, and the fact I'm tanking Mag tonight, I'm going to buy to the Sabatons of the Righteous Defender.

If the plan is to run more ZA lately would you be better off buying the belt instead of boots since some really nice boots drop off bear?

Just killing time reading your old Kara posts on my IPhone at work. Anyway I could use a lot more badges as well. As of right now I seem to be somewhere where you are here in gear with badges. Just picked up the old pre 2.3 Helm the Faceguard with 50 badges. I need 6 more badges then to get the badge cloak. So by tomorrow I'll have the badge cloak. Yeah need lots of badges. Be pugging heroics all weekend as usual farming badges.
After that think will go for the badge boots. Think my gear is coming along fine. I'm up to 13.9k unbuffed. Badges make a lot of difference. I just need to keep grinding dem badges in heroics.

Massimo Storer, the export manager for entrance doors solutions company Oikos, says that the European company is looking to establish a presence within the GCC market.
Oikos will launch its first initiative into the region by exhibiting at Dubai's design trade fair Downtown Design, set for 28-31 October.
According to Storer, Oikos will be launching two sets of doors solutions at the fair. The first being glass and the second will be of special ceramic.
He says: "We are proposing two sets of doors with two different sounding wall systems. One will be glass, back painted glass in black. The black is a bit of a challenge in a way because potentially for the end-user it could be strange, but we've seen with our architects and designers that people are actually attracted to them.
"The other door set will have one face of special ceramic that has two functions. The first function is aesthetics, as it recalls the rust steel affect. So it has an aesthetic impact and at the same time it's not something you expect to see on an entrance door. The second point is it's very well performing in very difficult climates and can be exposed to various atmospheric agents."
In addition to entrance door solutions, Oikos will also display a number of various materials that clients and designers can choose from, as well as wall designs for door-surrounding bits in an entrance.
According to Storer, Downtown Design will provide a great entrance for the company to establish more brand awareness among architects, designers and developers in the region.
Oikos, which already has agents in Lebanon, Jordan and North Africa, will also be looking for an agent to follow up on projects in the GCC.
Storer notes: "There has been a positive response in the Middle East's retail sector, where individual consumers are trending toward our doors. We are pretty sure there is a space for us.
"It's very important for us to focus on the performance side and finding someone on the ground to be trained and to be supportive, and then take his hand for followup support of potential projects. We are not looking at the moment for direct presence, but an agent. So that is the priority."

Pitching and moaning
An article on Wednesday about the Air Force's efforts to counter a mix-up in which rival bidders on an aerial tanker contract were inadvertently sent data on each other's proposals quoted incorrectly from comments by Sean O'Keefe, the chief executive of EADS North America, on how the company treated data it received about Boeing's proposal. He said the disc "was packed up and returned to the Air Force," not "backed up" and then returned.
It is nice of the Newspaper of Record to be so attentive to its errors, but do you suppose we could spend just a bit of time making them less impenetrable? The handy little Flesch-Kincaid test on your Windows grammar-checker puts that first sentence at 27.1. Perhaps we could have a contest to see who can put the most emphasis on the mistake in the shortest collection of sentences.

I have to admit that I was never a big fan of the Peoplesoft tracing features and would use them as a last resort. However, when 9.2 came along and we upgraded from 8.8 (financials) there were so many new components that I did have to dive into the trace files to quickly find were code was being executed.
I looked around for tools to make the job easier. I found TraceMagic and although it was okay, it didn't give me the ability to quickly search the sql or grab them and drop them in Toad. So I just created my own trace extractor. I'm sharing this with the community in an effort to save time and more importantly eyesight (my own).
It's actually a very simple java executable but here is a quick users guide anyway:
- Download the jar file and put it in a tracing directory. You can path everything if you want, but I prefer to just have a directory specifically for tracing.
- Specify what you want your output file name to be (it defaults to output.txt if you don't). No path is needed it will drop it in the path specified at the top of the panel.
- Specify if you want SQL or PeopleCode or both. If you don't specify it defaults to 3(both).
- Finally, select your trace file with the select trace file button. When you select "ok" it automatically runs. When it finishes the "waiting for input" message changes to "done".
- Review your new extracted trace file.
NOTE: This code can also use a skip list. It's often beneficial to exclude results that are repetitive or include data that you are not interested in. To create a skip list, just create a file called skip.txt and place it in your tracing directory. One item per line, case is important. You can specify any text in the lines you want to skip, table name, field name, etc for example:
in a skip.txt file would cause sql's containing these strings not do display in the results file.
I'm always open to suggestions for improving this tool, so feel free to drop me a line. Each of us use traces in our own way and I may not even be aware of a feature that would be useful to others, so please let me know.
This software is provided as is with no expressed or implied warranties.
I've been a Peoplesoft Financials technical developer since 1999. I'm located in Austin, Texas and would be interested in hearing from you if you have projects needing my services. You can contact me at my yahoo email address email@example.com

My 67 year old father-in-law has had diabetes for about five years, and he used to take Regular insulin only as needed, but his doctor has now prescribed 70/30 insulin every night regardless of what his blood sugar is. What is the difference between 70/30 and Regular insulin? My father-in-law is concerned about taking the insulin even when is blood sugar is not high. Could you please help us understand this?
The doctor must feel he needs a longer acting insulin throughout the day. He might want to discuss with the doctor taking the Regular insulin based on his blood glucose levels and just taking straight NPH before bed. Another thought is to seek the advice of another physician. We really do not like to use this combination insulin except in very special circumstances just for the reason indicated -- that he may be taking too much of a fast-acting insulin and run into hypoglycemia.
[Editor's comment: The main idea behind insulin therapy is to prevent the blood sugar from going high. When the pancreas is working properly, it puts out small amounts of insulin continually to prevent blood sugars from going higher. 70/30 insulin is a mixture containing 70% intermediate-acting insulin (NPH) which begins to work in two to three hours, peaks in six to eight hours, and lasts for about eight to twelve hours, and 30% short-acting insulin (Regular) which begins to work in about 30 minutes, peaks in two to three hours, and lasts for about four to six hours.
It would appear that your father-in-law's doctor feels that the evening and overnight blood sugars are too high and prescribed this insulin for that reason. The dose is not particularly high for a man your father-in-law's age and should not pose a problem, but if you still are concerned, I would suggest you ask him to speak directly with the doctor.
It also seems like both your father-in-law (and you) are lacking in diabetes education and would benefit greatly from a diabetes education program. Treatment of type 2 diabetes these days is very individualized and complex. There is a wide variety of treatment options available. I suggest that you and your father-in-law request a referral to such a program. Additionally, I think that a consultation with a diabetologist would be in order at this point to explore all treatment options. SS]

See them there? That's Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne rallying for Gary McKinnon before the last election. This alone should have been enough to persuade the Daily Mail to rethink its mighty campaign on behalf of Mr McKinnon. Apparently not, however, and so the Home Secretary today passed her responsibilities to Paul Dacre and bravely agreed with the editor of the most powerful newspaper in Britain. Accordingly, Gary McKinnon will not be extradited to the United States.
Technically, Mrs May found that extraditing Mr McKinnon would breach his human rights. Relying on the much-hated (not least by the Daily Mail) Human Rights Act the Home Secretary concluded that the combination of McKinnon's Aspergers' and his apparently persuasive threat to kill himself if extradited meant that she had no choice but to thwart American efforts to put him on trial in the United States. Annoying Washington is less dangerous than angering Mr Dacre.
Poor old Babar Ahmad and Talha Ahsan eh? Their appeals against extradition to the US did not enjoy such powerful patrons. No wonder there's more than a whiff of double-standards about this case, not least since Ahsan also has Aspergers.
Now, as David Allen Green observes, if McKinnon's suicide-threat is credible then the Home Secretary may have acted correctly. But as he also notes denying the extradition on those grounds and no others suggests the legal case for McKinnon's extradition, absent any complicating factor such as his health, was watertight.
As it should be. McKinnon was not, whatever some people want you to believe, some innocent kid who inadvertently blundered into the Pentagon's computers in search of evidence of UFOs. On the contrary there is ample evidence – not the least of which comes from his own statements – that his hacking was a politically-motivated action. It Was McKinnon who left a message on a US army computer he had infiltrated which read:
"US foreign policy is akin to Government-sponsored terrorism these days … It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year … I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels … "
Indeed, part of his defence was that he could not receive a fair trial in the United States because his political beliefs would make that impossible. But, as Lord Justice Maurice Kay wrote in 2007:
The relevant question under section 81(b) is not whether Mr McKinnon did what he is alleged to have done by reason of his political opinions. It is whether his political opinions (whatever they may be) are such that he would suffer prejudice at the hands of an American judge and jury. There is no evidence and absolutely no reason to suppose that Mr McKinnon might suffer prejudice of this sort.
Nor, despite what people seem to believe, would McKinnon have potentially faced the death penalty had he stood trial in the United States. Nor, for that matter, would he even have necessarily served his sentence in the United States. An agreement or understanding that he would be imprisoned in the United Kingdom was easily obtained.
As for the notion he should be tried in England, not the United States. Well, the District Court judge put that well too:
The CPS did consider whether to launch a prosecution in the UK and for good reason decided against it. The defendant intentionally targeted computers in the US; his actions resulted in criminal damage being suffered there, as well as causing very considerable disruption to the workings of those computers resulting in interference and disruption to military activities in the US. It is not my task to determine which state has the better right to prosecute, but for what it is worth my view is, unquestionably, if the defendant is to face prosecution, it should be in the US."
The crime – and McKinnon does not deny committing crimes – was committed in the United States. It targeted US military hardware. The damage was done in the United States. That McKinnon did this damage from a computer in the United Kingdom seems wholly unimportant to me.
Suppose, by way of a comparison, you lived on one side of a border and lobbed bricks through the window of your neighbour whose house lies on the other side of the border. In which jurisdiction should you stand trial for the damage you have caused? It seems to me you should stand trial in the jurisdiction in which the damage was done.
As for the notion McKinnon could not receive a fair trial in the United States? Well that too is poppycock. If it weren't or if we did not think the Americans could just about manage to organise a non-kangaroo court we would not extradite anyone to the US. Nor would McKinnon necessarily have been too harshly punished in the US. As the judges made clear in that 2007 ruling:
As in our jurisdiction, the Canadian courts require exceptional circumstances if a bar to extradition is to be established on this basis. They use the test of whether the potential sentences in a requesting state would "shock the conscience" of Canadians. We find that a useful yardstick in the present context. We do not consider that it has been achieved in this case. In our view Mr Lawson has tended to understate the gravity of the offences which Mr McKinnon is alleged to have committed. At the same time he has tended to overlook the fact that, if prosecuted and convicted, the equivalent domestic offences include the offence under section 12 of the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990 for which the maximum sentence is life imprisonment.
Quite. So it is just as well for McKinnon that he now has just the kind of "supervening illness" that permitted him to appeal, yet again, his extradition. Poor man. I hope he recovers. But, illness or not, he is not an innocent child bewildered by all this fuss and most of the arguments against his extradiction seem, to these layman's eyes at least, largely bogus.
This being so, I am surprised by the reaction of some conservative commentators. Benedict Brogan, for instance, salutes Home Secretary thus:
By rejecting the extradition order on Gary MacKinnon – the first time a Home Secretary has blocked an extradition – she has won the admiration of those Tory backbenchers clamouring for a more robust and unilateralist approach to issues of national sovereignty. She has allowed the Government to present itself as a fair-minded ally of the underdog.
Alternatively, the Home Secretary has pandered to the anti-American snobbishness of the mob. And, anyway, when did "national sovereignty" mean it's fine to attack our allies' defence infrastructure?
Finally, everyone seems to agree that the US-UK extradition treaty is "unbalanced". But is it really? I am no expert in these matters but found this ConservativeHome piece by Ted Bromund rather interesting:
[T]he principles of the 2003 Treaty are sound and fair, and are in fact a model for the entire U.K. extradition system. The Treaty is based on dual criminality – that is, no Briton can be extradited to the U.S. for something that is not a crime in Britain. It has a proportionality standard, meaning that no Briton can be extradited to the U.S. for unpaid parking tickets. And it has an objective evidentiary standard that is as nearly identical for both countries as our different systems allow. For extraditions from the U.S., the standard is 'probable cause,' which has a clear meaning in the U.S. legal system. For extraditions from the U.K., the standard is 'reasonable suspicion,' which has an equally clear meaning in Britain. The only difference is that the U.S. standard is contained in the Treaty itself, whereas the British one is contained in Britain's underlying legislation, the 2003 Extradition Act, as amended.
Is he right? In any case, Gary McKinnon is fortunate to have such powerful supporters. By which I mean, naturally, Paul Dacre and not Nick Clegg.

For about two hours Thursday morning, police officers from eight different police departments swept through McHenry County arresting 11 convicted sex offenders.
A 12th convicted sex offender was already in custody on an unrelated matter in Washington state.
Thursday's arrests, though, were not for additional sex crimes. They were for allegedly failing to comply with the 1996 Sex Offender Registration Act, which requires sex offenders who are out of prison to register with their local police department.

I've not known a whole month like January when woke up to a carpet of hard frost in the back garden every day and had to put on five layers, including leggings under my jeans and two pairs of socks to cycle the 20 mins to work in central London! The temperature has hovered around 5 C. So did the bees cope? Well actually this is better for them, than a mild winter when they're out flying and using up their energy reserves. Honeybees huddle in their hive, keeping it nice and toasty by using their bodies and wings to create a shivering sensation that heats them and their home. (Rather like penguins on the ice). The cluster of some 10,000 worker bees and their queen will eat the honey left by the beekeeper. That's fine if they've enough stores and it's easy to get to it. Problems can occur if it's a mild winter when they need to eat more honey to fuel their flights outside the hive looking for the very few plants that are flowering.
Given the mild December, many beekeepers (even the ones like us that left each hive a super of honey) were out by mid January putting some bakers' fondant on the top of their hives for the bees to eat if they were hungry.
For bumblebees, the cold weather is also good. Only the queen is alive at this time of year and she'll be tucked away in a nest – probably an old mouse hole, or a compost bin, or under a pile of untouched leaves – ready to come out when it gets warmer. As long as she's not disturbed, she'll be just fine.
As for the cavity-nesting solitary bees that lay their eggs in hollow stems, or our man-made bee hotels, their babies spend the winter in a cosy cocoon before they emerge in the spring as adult bees. Here there's just one tube in this cylindrical bee hotel that contains eggs. It's the one you can see that has been sealed with mud.
We can't feed wild bees during the winter, but what we can do is think about how to feed them when they start flying by planting early forage, like this Sweet Box (Sarcococca), which smells devine and was covered in honeybees foraging for pollen and nectar _ in preference to the Fondant – when the sun came out on Friday. I also spotted a huge bumblebee queen, but wasn't quick enough to snap her on my phone.
Other early flowering beauties include:
- Crocuses and Winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) - good for window boxes.
- Shrubs like Mahonia and the fragrant, Winter honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima).
More details here.
Early flowering Trees for Bees include:
- cherries, like Prunus x incam 'Okame'
- or Pussy willow (Salix caprea) or Musk willow (Salix aegyptiaca), laden with pollen-rich catkins.
Speak to your local council or park manager about 'sponsoring' an early flowering tree for bees as we did last year.

On a recent road trip through the Western U.S., I stumbled upon the eerie town of Atomic City, ID—home of the world's first fatal nuclear reactor accident (1961). On this grey, snowy day I wanted to capture the feeling of time standing still. To me it looked as if nothing had changed since 1961—as if the accident had just happened, and all that remained were a few houses and a bar.

From Our Editors
Launched more than three decades ago, Site for Sore Eyes now operates in more than 35 showrooms throughout the Bay Area. Staffers at every location share their dedication when pairing customers with head-turning eyewear and contacts. The company offers a $25 warranty that secures all of its products, replacing broken frames for free and furnishing half-price replacements for glasses that are lost, stolen, or transformed into an acorn squash. In case eyes require prescription tweaks, each shop sits next door to California-licensed Sterling VisionCare doctors of optometry.

My sister got married. I went to San Diego Comic Con for the first time. I developed a small exhibit for display at an event in New York City. The Boyfriend switched jobs, and though he's exhausted, he seems happier. I'm losing weight successfully for the first time in forever, it seems. Didn't get as much done on my dissertation as I would have liked, but I'm much happier with the work I'm doing. I started this blog, and have met so many neat and geeky people because of it.
|at the History Vikings experience, San Diego Comic Con 2014
Over the past year, I have become a much more confident, optimistic, and forgiving person. My goals are becoming better defined, and I am more excited for my future than I have been since starting my PhD. My depression was also much better this year, with no long periods of overwhelming anxiety or despair. Very different to 2013, that's for sure.
I am looking forward to 2015 - it will be an exciting year. We already have our Comic Con badges, and are planning our trip out to San Diego. Avengers: Age of Ultron will be released on May 1st. Star Wars VII will be released on December 18th. I'm going to be doing a bit of international travel, hopefully to my beloved England to see my friends, but definitely to Russia (of all places - it's a long story, but should be an interesting trip). And I'm turning 30 years old in April!
Our New Year's plans are low-key. We're staying home, making a bunch of unhealthy finger foods, playing board games, and watching movies. I received How to Train Your Dragon and its sequel for Christmas, so we will be watching those, and probably a few more episodes of Black Mirror on Netflix. Tomorrow, we will probably just chill and play games, then The Boyfriend will be making Beef Wellington for dinner. We've been doing this for a few years now and always enjoy it.
Wherever you are, and whatever timezone you're in, I hope everyone has a HAPPY NEW YEAR and a wonderful 2015!
|Stormageddon waiting to eat his New Year treat! Happy New Year!

FOX NEWS: Neil Cavuto had an exclusive interview moments ago with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who earlier today met face-to-face with Susan Rice, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. McCain and fellow Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte met with Rice and acting CIA Director Michael Morell about Rice's assertions in the days after the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya. Earlier this afternoon, Sen. Ayotte talked to Megyn Kelly about the meeting. All three said they are even more troubled now about Rice's actions than they were before meeting with her.
Particularly, the lawmakers want to know why Rice went on several Sunday shows and blamed an anti-Islam video for the attack. It was later revealed that U.S. intelligence knew almost immediately that it was a coordinated terror attack and not linked to any spontaneous protest.
Rice has been rumored as the likely choice of President Obama to replace departing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Earlier this month, Obama called out McCain and other Republicans for their criticism of Rice and their vows to oppose her nomination.
On Your World, McCain said he didn't get much out of the meeting, which Rice requested. He said some of the information that she had access to "clearly contradicted" what she said about the anti-Islam video.
He went on to question why, after two and a half months, Rice is just now admitting that the information she presented was not accurate.

• The Presidente InterContinental Los Cabos changed its name in August, becoming the Holiday Inn Resort Los Cabos. The 390-room all-inclusive resort maintains the same room capacity, meeting facilities and F&B outlets as before. • The 173-room One&Only Palmilla will host its first annual Mexican Culinary Festival Nov. 2-6, showcasing three young celebrity chefs from Mexico City with private dinners and cooking classes.• Hotel Quinta del Sol, a 72-suite property in downtown Cabo San Lucas, embarked on a US$1.5 million renovation, to be completed next month. The property will remodel its lobby and event space, add a new restaurant and introduce an all-inclusive option.
Apicturesque destination on the southernmost tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos refers to a pair of towns. Cabo San Lucas, which sits where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortéz (or Gulf of California), is home to a large marina and much of the nightlife for which the region is known; San José del Cabo, about 20 miles northeast on the Sea of Cortéz, is a more relaxed, traditional Mexican village. The corridor that connects the two towns is home to a number of resorts, many of them of the exclusive, luxury variety. And the area has become a popular destination for Hollywood types and other upscale jet-setters, due in part to its convenient location: It's a short flight from Southern California, yet very comfortably distant (1,000 miles) from the closest border-town violence. The area also is in the running to further publicize its profile and welcome world leaders, as Los Cabos is a finalist to host the 2012 G-20 Summit. (This year's G-20 Summit will take place in Cannes, France, Nov. 3-4, at which point next year's location will be announced.)High satisfaction rating Los Cabos topped Mexico's beach destinations in a recent survey measuring traveler satisfaction, conducted by the nation's secretary of tourism. The region scored an impressive 9.1 out of 10 in a report that included assessments of lodging, food and beverage, transportation, security and the airport, among other categories. In all, 22 cities took part in the study, including 11 other beach destinations. Many Los Cabos destinations place a premium on VIP-type service. The luxury property Las Ventanas al Paraiso, for instance, a 71-suite resort operated by Rosewood, recently introduced a private VIP airport lounge. The resort's "Airport Hosts" -- assistants who have helped hotel guests navigate the airport arrival process since 2005 -- are now certified with the airport, giving them clearance to escort guests through the security, immigration and customs arrival processes. Guests are whisked through on arrival and invited to the new VIP lounge. For $20 per person, they can relax with luxury seating, Wi-Fi, and unlimited snacks and adult beverages. The resort has event space for up to 60 attendees for receptions and up to 36 for classroom-style seating.New on the scene Los Cabos' newest resort, the 119-suite Grand Solmar Land's End Resort & Spa, Cabo San Lucas, opened for business early this year. Solmar's fifth property in the area, the hotel sits on a dramatic perch at the tip of the peninsula. Meeting facilities are available at Solmar's nearby 260-room Playa Grande Resort. Future plans include a 124-villa Ritz-Carlton Reserve, the first such property to open in Mexico. The San José del Cabo resort is slated to open in 2014, in Puerto Los Cabos.

Camp Slayer
In 2007 the Mayor of Camp Slayer, Iraq opened a contest for all Soldiers stationed in Iraq for the design of the Camp Slayer Mayor Cell challenge coin. Donateko looked for inspiration in the streets of Baghdad and used a photograph he exposed to land the winning design. "A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion (usually military), bearing an organization's insignia or emblem and carried by the organization's members. Traditionally, they are given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. In addition, they are also collected by service members. In practice, challenge coins are normally presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They are also exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization." - GlobalSecurity.org. Retrieved 10 March 2008
