There are a lot of questions surrounding this weekend's NFL divisional playoff games. Some of the more interesting questions are:
Is this Ray Lewis' final game in the NFL? The Baltimore Ravens take on the Denver Broncos, and former Kathleen star said he will retire when the season is over.
Can the Atlanta Falcons overcome their dubious playoff history when they take on the surging Seattle Seahawks on Sunday?
Will the Houston Texans flame out like they have in previous playoffs when they face the New England Patriots on Sunday?
Can the San Francisco 49ers get back to mauling teams like they did early in the season when they face the Green Bay Packers today?
Let's break the games down.
The gritty and hard-nosed Baltimore defense faces a Denver offense today that's as smooth as a German-engineered car.
Peyton Manning has had an MVP-type season leading the Broncos to 11 consecutive wins to close the regular season.
His ability to slice defenses has hidden the fact that the Broncos' running game has been so-so at best.
The key will be whether Baltimore's offense can keep up.
Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco gets so much flak for not being an elite QB and not enough for what he is: the only quarterback in the Super Bowl era to win postseason games in each of his first five seasons.
Unless the Ravens are able to connect on deep plays, their season will come to an end in Denver today, thus ending the career of Lewis.
Staying with Saturday, the 49ers-Packers game should be fun. Both teams are much different from when they met in the season opener.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the NFL in passer rating for the second year in a row.
The Niners have a new quarterback — Colin Kaepernick — but everyone else around him is the same, including running back Frank Gore, tight end Vernon Davis and receiver Michael Crabtree.
San Fran's defense must be special in this game against Green Bay or the Pack will romp. Green Bay goes on the road and grabs this victory.
On Sunday, the Texans and Patriots revisit their game from Dec. 12 when the Patriots ran up and down the field on Houston 42-14.
In that game, former Buc cornerback Aqib Talib, now with the Patriots, did a great job of containing Houston's Andre Johnson. If Johnson can't have a big game, the Texans are in trouble.
Come to think of it, nothing much has changed since that meeting on either team, so expect the Patriots to win big again.
Finally, the Falcons-�Seahawks matchup could be the game of the weekend.
Atlanta has been in this position before, having home-field advantage throughout the playoffs only to lose in its first game.
Seattle is coming in having won eight of its last nine games. Quarterback Russel Wilson is playing like a veteran, throwing pin-point passes to complement his ability to get out of the pocket. Marshawn "Skittles" Lynch is the best back on the West Coast, and Seattle's secondary is the best of any remaining team.
Still, Atlanta has the experience and the players to give Seattle's defense fits. And if the Falcons start off fast, Seattle will not be able to overcome that as it did against Washington last week.
This time, Atlanta marches on.

The employees of Morris eatery R-Place are a tight-knit group.
When one of their own, Assistant Manager Patti Poggi, was diagnosed with breast cancer in August, the team felt led to show their support, according to fellow Assistant Manager Kellee Rusniak.
"We've always had that family feel here — we probably spend more time with each other than we do with our families, so we just thought, 'Gosh, we wish there was something we could do for her,'" Rusiak said.
Employees have come together to organize the Pasta for Patti Benefit, which is set for 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 25, at the VFW Hall at 309 McKinley Street. Tickets are $10 in advance, and can be purchased at the restaurant, located at the TA Travel Center at 21 Romines Drive, or by calling Rusniak at (815) 600-3467 or Carrie Coughlin at (815) 735-5542. They are $12 at the door.
Rusniak has been taking part in organizing the benefit. She said the benefit has snowballed from the initial idea to hold a small benefit at the restaurant.
When the group realized how many people know Poggi, they realized they needed a new, bigger venue, and found the VFW. Rusniak said, already, the response from people who know Poggi and some who don't, but just want to help, has been positive.
"We have had such a tremendous outpouring of generosity from the people, it'll make you cry to even think about it, just the kindness (of people)," she said.
Rusniak and Poggi met Friday at R-Place, each in pink, to talk about the benefit. While Rusniak wore a pink tie-dyed shirt, Poggi had on pink stretchy bracelets and hot pink fingernail polish.
Before finding out she had cancer, Poggi worked the afternoon shift, and is well-known by the restaurant's regulars, Rusniak said. She said Poggi is the kind of person you can't help but like.
"When you meet her, you instantly love here," she said. "She's just that kind of person — she'd do anything for anybody, so it meant a lot for us to be able to do something for her."
Rusniak said that, in addition to being a spaghetti dinner, the benefit will also feature live music, raffles for gift certificates to area businesses, and a silent auction.
Poggi said she was recovering from knee surgery that took place in late June when she found out she had breast cancer. She said a routine physical came back with with not-so-routine results.
Today, she says she'll never forget Aug. 22 — getting the call from her doctor, going to the post-biopsy appointment with her daughter, and hearing the results: she had the form of breast cancer called invasive ductal carcinoma.
"It's like I shut down, I couldn't focus. ... It was like something you see in the movies, I was just like, 'God, it's cancer. Cancer — God, why me'?" she said. "I didn't sign up for this."
In the following weeks, she had three surgeries — two lumpectomies and a mastectomy. In the mastectomy, doctors found a previously hidden 1.5-centimeter tumor.
At this point, Poggi is looking ahead to her recovery phase following the surgeries. She starts chemotherapy on Tuesday, which will be followed by radiation.
"This is the recovery period," she said. "This is the way I look at it — Thank God, the cancer is gone, now (it's time) to kill off everything else that may be growing, which I hope isn't."
In planning the benefit, Rusniak said her phone's been ringing constantly in recent days, as more people express their interest in helping.
"People are just coming out of the woodwork to help and I can't tell you how many phone calls I've gotten (of), 'Oh, we know her, we love her, what can we do?'" she said.
Poggi said the amount of support that has already come from family, friends, customers and even total strangers has been more than she can put into words.
"It's been so overwhelming. It's unbelievable — unreal," she said.
She added that working in a number of restaurants over the years has allowed her to meet so many people from all over. She said that she's built up quite a network across the region.
"I'm known from Bureau County to Will County, and everywhere in between," she said, laughing.
Poggi said that while she's a little nervous for the night, she's also excited. Most of all, she's looking forward to closing this next part of the process and getting back to normal life and back to her job and work family at R-Place.
"I just can't wait to get back to normal Patti again," she said. "It's just going to take time — it's just a process."

Memorial service set for Hospice Hawai'i pioneer Mitsuo "Mits" AokiUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Joyce Okabe, (808) 983-5552
University of Hawaii Federal Credit Union
University of Hawaii Federal Credit Union
Posted: Sep 14, 2010
Details for the memorial service honoring the life of professor Rev. Mitsuo "Mits" Aoki, have been announced. The service will be held at Church of the Crossroads, 1212 University Avenue, on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2010.
Visitation with family will take place at 1 p.m., followed by the memorial service at 3 p.m. The service is open to the public and aloha attire is recommended. The Aoki family kindly asks that no flowers be given.
Valet parking is available where the former Varsity Theater once stood, adjacent to the Church. Overflow parking is at the Japanese Cultural Center and UH Mānoa's Orvis Auditorium and Law School.
Rev. Aoki, who studied and taught about death and dying for many decades and counseled many through their final hours, died peacefully at his home in Kaneohe on Aug. 19, 2010, at age 95.
Family, friends, and volunteers and staff from Hospice Hawaiʻi were with him during the time before his death. He "lived his dying," experiencing the richness of each day, just as he had coached others to do for decades.
Rev. Aoki spearheaded the establishment of the Department of Religion at UH Mānoa in 1956 and was instrumental in establishing Hospice Hawaiʻi in 1979. Thousands of students filled his classes on "The Meaning of Existence," "World Religions," and "Death and Dying" during the over 40 years he taught at UH Mānoa.
"Living Your Dying," a documentary about his work with terminally ill people and their families, has aired periodically on Hawaiʻi Public Television. More about his work and this film may be found online at www.livingyourdying.com.
Aoki was also the founder and president of The Foundation for Holistic Healing, a nonprofit organization that aims to cultivate and promote a holistic approach to health and healing, death and dying.
A graduate of Drury College in Springfield, Missouri, and Chicago Theological Seminary, he also attended UH Mānoa. He studied with Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where he researched and wrote about "The Meaning of Death" under the mentorship of Paul Tillich.

Skip to comments.Catholic leaders react to Biden pick; Bishops say he should refrain from Communion
Posted on 08/25/2008 1:47:04 PM PDT by NYer

This is not just a test of Catholics voting (NOT) for the Obama-Biden ticket, but even moreso...
This is a test of the American Council of Bishops and how effective (NOT) they are going to be in the face of CLEAR Catholic teaching and this Pope's strong psition on it.
In the end, I expect the Pope and the Bishop's to fold their tent and allow Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, etc. to receive communion.
Meanwhile, Catholic Democrats continue to cherry pick and equate abortion (an intrinsic evil) with war and detah penalty (which the Catholic Church has made clear is not an INTRINSIC evil).
These politicians should go join the Anglicans (or Episcopalians) where they are soft on abortion, homosexuality, celibacy, etc...
I pray that that happens. I have no disagreement with anything you stated. It IS a sin to go to communion sullied with sin. Abortion is murder and thus a mortal sin. Biden obviously is not concerned.....his priest should be.
This is a test of the American Council of Bishops and how effective (NOT) they are going to be in the face of CLEAR Catholic teaching and this Pope's strong position on respect for life for "the least of our brethren" as Obama said to Rick Warren.

You mention Pelosi. Rush played some comments by her today.....she actually said that St. Augustine, a doctor of the church, says that life does not begin until three months into gestation. LOL - she is more blatant than even Biden on this issue. What the heck was she thinking?
Perhaps Biden went to confession Saturday afternoon.
Popelosi wasn't thinking. She was lying.
A Catholic in the public eye who not only facilitates baby butchery but vociferously proclaims baby butchery is perfectly compatible with Church teaching should have to publicly recant their stance on baby butchery and what the Church believes concerning that. It's not just about the pro-baby butchery pol, but what the laity learn from how the hierarchy handles such situations.
A clarification:
Bishop Michael Angelo Saltarelli is the former Bishop of Wilmington (DE). Not to be confused with Bishop Arthur Joseph Serratelli, the current Bishop of Paterson (NJ).

Charles Arlinghaus: The Medicaid compromise is not as advertisedBY CHARLES ARLINGHAUS
February 18. 2014 5:20PM
The Senate Medicaid expansion plan was released this week so we could all see the details and find out that the spin and the reality of the program are not quite the same.
Let's start by dismissing the assertion that this program is somehow a unique New Hampshire approach. That just isn't so. Iowa passed this same Medicaid expansion plan last May and a few states have had similar ideas in the interim. The New Hampshire version differs in slight ways, none of which make it better.
Notably, Iowa passed a more detailed version of a plan and did not expand Medicaid until the federal government had approved the necessary waivers from federal rules. Making coverage contingent on waiver approval was an incentive for the federal government to act more quickly and to approve at least some changes that had previously been considered unlikely.
In contrast, New Hampshire intends to ask for a waiver — with important details to be filled in at a later date — but in the interim will adopt the same expansion plan the governor proposed as early as last July.
In Iowa's negotiations with the federal government, the feds needed to approve changes they were not predisposed towards, or else no one would be covered. In New Hampshire's negotiations, we will adopt a plan that some lead sponsors don't like but the federal government really likes, and then we will ask the feds to approve changes they like a lot less. You can see why an experienced negotiator might not expect good results from our negotiate-from-weakness strategy.
The bill does say that if the federal overseers of Medicaid don't approve the changes we want, then after two years of coverage the program would technically expire and need to be reauthorized or else 50,000-80,000 people would have their Medicaid coverage taken away from them.
No rational person honestly believes this expiration is anything but procedural. No Legislature elected in recent memory of whatever partisan flavor could ever bring itself to cancel pre-existing benefits, especially health benefits, for such an enormous population. It will never happen, and everyone knows that, including federal regulators.
Public statements from sponsors describe the plan as having significant personal responsibility measures (like premiums and copays). But the plan doesn't actually. The Iowa prototype included significant changes that required waivers, some of which were not allowed in the end.
In contrast, New Hampshire suggests copays be included "to the greatest extent practicable." Practicable is never defined, and we know in advance that state regulators are strongly opposed to just about every copay except one or two in nominal amounts. That makes them not practicable in their opinion. The bill pays lip service with the practical effect of no changes, which helps explain why strong opponents of copays and cost-sharing are cosponsoring the bill.
Some of the bill's authors have implied that the new entitlement comes with a work requirement — recipients will be required to actively seek employment. Whatever their hope, it isn't what the bill does. The actual bill merely says recipients "shall be referred to the Department of Employment Security." Those who are currently unemployed will be given the phone number of the state's unemployment office. That is not exactly a work requirement.
Further, sponsors routinely describe the bill as providing a benefit to 50,000 people. That's just plain wrong. The bill makes an estimated additional 100,650 people eligible. The analysis of a year ago suggested that 83 percent of the half of the eligible population without insurance would take the free coverage (I use their higher estimate because we are now spending millions recruiting people to coverage, which seems likely to be more effective than when we spent nothing).
That analysis estimated that only 12,000 of the newly eligible people with existing private coverage would cancel their current plan and switch to Medicaid. But the offer now is for them to keep their existing coverage and merely have the state pay all their premiums and copays — hardly invasive or inconvenient. A better estimate is that 80 percent of that population will permit the state to send them free money.
When sponsors say 50,000, replace that number with 80,000 and increase their cost estimates by 60 percent. I presume cost estimates, not yet available, will emerge sometime before senators vote.
So the Senate is poised to pass a plan to increase the state's Medicaid population from 135,000 to 215,000 with no cost sharing requirements of note, and to abandon any negotiating strength by adopting the federal government and governor's preferred position as the default program beginning immediately.
Some people are better at compromise than others.
Charles M. Arlinghaus is president of the Josiah Bartlett Center, a free-market think tank in Concord.

The U.S. EPA's Pacific Southwest Region has launched an online "waste to biogas mapping tool" to support the use of organic waste for energy projects.
"This innovative mapping tool, the first of its kind in the nation, helps restaurants, hotels and other food waste generators to connect with large energy producers," said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA's Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest. "Harvesting this energy prevents waste from ending up in landfills or clogging sewer lines."
The tool is an interactive map created to link food and other biodegradable waste sources with facilities such as wastewater treatment plants that can enhance energy production with their existing infrastructure. Wastewater treatment plants and some dairies manage waste with anaerobic digesters, which produce methane-rich biogas as a natural byproduct.
By adding food scraps or fats, oils, and grease to an anaerobic digester, facilities can increase biogas production to make money while providing a renewable energy source, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These business and environmental opportunities may present a largely unrealized potential.
The tool is designed for decision-makers with technical expertise in the fields of waste management, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy. This includes businesses, state and local governments, and non-profits. The tool allows users to determine the types of facilities in their area, where clusters are located, and the distance between a waste producer and an anaerobic digester. The tool also functions in reverse – allowing generators of organic waste to find partner facilities that will accept it.
Features include:
• Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) hauler information for California, Arizona and Nevada
• California landfill information
• On-site energy generation for California dairies with digesters (in kilowatt hours per year)
• Energy estimates for wastewater treatment facilities, with and without co-digesting FOG (in kilowatt hours per year for California, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii).
• A "correct record" option that allows facilities to change information presented on the map.
A study performed by the Northern California Power Agency in 2008 determined that agricultural, wastewater, and food processing wastes could be digested to obtain 453 megawatts of energy – enough to run a utility-scale power plant while also preventing 3.7 million dry tons of organic material from ending up in a landfill. This use of biogas to displace natural gas would have a climate change abatement potential equal to taking approximately 160,000 cars off the road.
A prime example is in Millbrae, Calif. Grease is collected by a licensed material hauler, transported to the wastewater treatment facility in 3,000 to 5,000 gallon tanker trucks, and added to a FOG-condition system, where it is converted into biogas used to meet 80 percent of the facility's needs. Millbrae has increased biogas production by nearly 100 percent, reducing their utility energy bill by 75 to 80 percent, preventing some 589 tons of green house gas from being emitted into the atmosphere annually, and reducing annual dewatered bio-solids hauling by 35 percent.
Wastewater treatment plants in the region's four Pacific Southwest states are co-digesting more than FOG. Organic materials – including food waste, yard trimmings, soiled paper, and green waste – comprise two-thirds of the solid waste stream. According to the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), food waste has up to three times as much energy production potential as biosolids. An EBMUD demonstration project indicated that 100 tons of food waste digested per day produces enough energy to power up to 1,400 homes.
Financial assistance provided by federal, state, and private sources can make on-site generation affordable and practical. The federal government provides grants, loans, and rebates. State agencies also provide grants, loans, rebates, renewable credits, and stand-by rates for energy generation. Local utility districts provide private sources of funding as do private third-party leasing arrangements and pooled bond financing.
The mapping tool is found at: www.epa.gov/region9/biogas .
More information about co-digestion and funding sources is found at: www.epa.gov/region09/waterinfrastructure/funding.html.

Haven't heard that his skating is an issue, but I've only seen the highlights.Lancer wrote:He can't skate to save himself and his AHL output is nothing to drool over - in fact not appreciably better than Beach's 1st year in the A.
But FYI: Kyle Beach had 16 g 20a 36 p in 71 gp in the AHL last year. Kassian has 15g 11a 26 p in 30 games played. Those numbers are enormously better than Beach's. Also, Hodgson's rookie AHL numbers were 17g 13 a 30 pts in 50 games played.
You would do that? When you say "proven top 9", that sounds like "career 3rd liner". I wouldn't trade Hodgson for a 3rd line winger and a mid- to late-pick. Kassian has a lot of offensive upside, which would be an absolute requirement in my book for a Hodgson deal.But seriously, Hodgson straight up for a proven top-9 winger and a mid- to late-round draft pick would be understandable.

Calls Grow For Leader Of Komen To Step Down
By NATASHA SINGER
Published: March 22, 2012
Calls for the resignation of Nancy G. Brinker, the founder and chief executive of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the breast cancer charity, grew Wednesday amid news that a second high-profile executive was leaving the group.
On Tuesday, Dr. Dara P. Richardson-Heron, the chief executive of Komen's Greater New York City affiliate, said she had made a ''personal decision'' to resign effective April 27.
Katrina McGhee, the executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Komen's national organization, said late last month that she planned to resign in May, also for personal reasons. Ms. McGhee oversees more than 200 corporate partnerships, 140 race events and more than $350 million in annual revenue at Komen. Leslie Aun, a Komen spokeswoman, said Ms. McGhee planned to consult for the group.
The resignations come after a national outcry over Komen's decision earlier this year to eliminate most of its financing for breast cancer education and screening to Planned Parenthood, which runs women's health clinics that also provide birth control and perform abortions. At the time, the national Komen organization said it had decided not to finance grant applications from organizations under government investigation. Although Planned Parenthood was not the subject of an investigation, a Republican congressman, Cliff Stearns of Florida, was looking into whether the group had spent public money on abortions.
After critics charged that Komen was politicizing women's health by trying to distance itself from Planned Parenthood, the breast cancer charity rescinded its decision in February and Ms. Brinker apologized. Days later, Karen Handel, the group's senior vice president for policy, who had become a lightning rod for criticism over the Planned Parenthood issue, resigned. But the controversy, stoked by heated comments on social media sites like Twitter, has turned off some longtime supporters, resulting in reduced fund-raising at some affiliates.
''You hate to see the organization slowly bleed away its staffing and its talent,'' said Daniel Borochoff, the president of CharityWatch, a nonprofit organization that rates charities. Although Komen remains a leader in breast cancer fund-raising, he said, ''they may very well need to get a new board and a new chief executive.''
In a statement on Wednesday, Komen's board said it fully supported Ms. Brinker and the group's leadership.
''We have complete confidence in the leadership of this organization, and in Susan G. Komen's fundamental strength as an organization delivering research, community health programs, global outreach and advocacy for people facing breast cancer,'' John D. Raffaelli, a Komen board member, said in a statement on behalf of the board.
In a phone interview on Wednesday, he added, ''I don't think anybody can question Nancy Brinker's commitment to finding a cure for breast cancer.''
Even so, more than 1,000 people have signed an online petition on change.org calling for Ms. Brinker's resignation.
Ms. Brinker started the foundation in 1982 after her sister, Susan G. Komen, died of breast cancer. Over the subsequent decades, Ms. Brinker made Komen the world's largest breast cancer charity. Along the way, she turned the breast cancer crusade into a pink marketing juggernaut on the community and corporate level. Komen's sponsors include American Airlines, Bank of America and Yoplait. Nearly two million people have participated annually in about 150 Komen race events. In the year ended March 31, 2011, Komen raised about $420 million in cash and in-kind donations.
But the recent events have damaged good will for Komen, threatening the group's ability to raise money from both corporate sponsors and the public, according to some analysts who study corporate leadership and ethics. Thomas Donaldson, a professor of legal studies and business ethics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, said that many people who once supported Komen because they identified themselves with women's health causes may have felt betrayed because they felt the group had veered off course.
''With a charity, even the smallest excuse can tip the scales of a donor's decision,'' Professor Donaldson said. ''If my identity is bound up with a commitment to women's health and women's reproductive rights, why pay money to corrupt the integrity of my commitments?''
Dr. Richardson-Heron's decision to resign as the chief of Komen's New York affiliate after less than four years only reinforced the disappointment among some formerly avid Komen supporters.
Among Komen's 121 affiliates, New York is the largest fund-raiser, collecting about $12.7 million in cash and in-kind donations in the 2011 fiscal year. Its board and staff had opposed the decision to stop financing Planned Parenthood.
''I think it is of huge significance that the chief executive of the No. 1 affiliate of Komen has resigned,'' said Eve Ellis, who served on the New York board from 2004 to 2010 and headed the search committee that selected Dr. Richardson-Heron. Ms. Ellis said she had not spoken to Dr. Richardson-Heron but speculated that fund-raising problems that ensued from the controversy may have contributed to her decision to resign. ''Personally, I wouldn't be giving or raising money for them right now.''
In the wake of the controversy, for example, the New York affiliate has postponed two spring fund-raising events -- a gala awards dinner and an event for teenagers called Tickled Pink! -- because the group was ''not certain about our ability to fund-raise in the near term,'' Vern Calhoun, the affiliate's communications director, wrote in an e-mail. He said Dr. Richardson-Heron was unavailable for comment.
Mr. Raffaelli, the Komen board member, said it would be unfortunate if the New York affiliate lost financing because it would only penalize women in need of breast cancer screening and treatment.
''The challenge for us now is to reaffirm that politics don't play any role in picking grantees,'' he said. ''The challenge for the local affiliates is to reaffirm in their communities how they use their money to fight breast cancer.''

About this Publication TitleCherokee Indian Agency (TN)
NARA M208. This publication includes the records of the agent of Indian Affairs in Tennessee whose duties included preserving or restoring peace, and inducing Indians to cede their lands and move to areas less threatened by white encroachment. The agency distributed money and goods and carried out other provisions of treaties with the Indians. As the Indians were increasingly confined on reservations, the agents became more concerned with educating and "civilizing" them.

BEIJING (AP) — China's government vowed to address long-festering complaints about choking smog while promising to crack down harder on the new threat of terrorism and promote unity among the country's sometimes-restive ethnic minorities.
In his first annual policy speech, Premier Li Keqiang also pledged to move more people into the middle class, cut government waste and push further with President Xi Jinping's signature campaign to fight the rampant official corruption that has undermined public faith in the Communist Party.
Li's speech at Wednesday's opening of China's annual ceremonial legislature comes as the government confronts ethnic unrest in the far western region of Xinjiang that has intensified over the past year. On Saturday, China saw the first big terror attack outside Xinjiang blamed on militants from that region — a slashing attack at a train station in Kunming that killed 29 people and wounded 143.
In Beijing, the meeting's nearly 3,000 delegates from across the country observed a moment of silence for the victims of the attack as the session opened.
Li briefly mentioned Saturday's attack in his speech, saying authorities would toughen its controls on public order and "crack down hard on violent crimes of terrorism."
Chen Fengxiang, a delegate from Hubei, said during the session that the government would adopt stronger security steps following the attack by assailants wielding large knives.
"They lost their senses, and we must crack down harshly and take strict measures in preventing the violence," Chen said.
Much of Li's report served to further define priorities that had been outlined after a party policy meeting in November, which included plans to make the world's second-largest economy more open and competitive.
Li announced an official growth target of 7.5 percent for this year and pledged that Beijing will encourage competition, ease exchange rate controls and improve access to credit for productive businesses. Last year, the economy grew 7.7 percent.
Li said the government will work harder to reduce pollution by shutting more coal-fired furnaces and controlling the tainting of rivers. He referred to the stifling smog that creeps over increasing areas of China and the fouling of the country's air, water and soil as "nature's red-light warning against the model of inefficient and blind development."
Li promised to cut government waste, reiterating earlier decisions to ban the building of new government offices and reduce the number of government employees. He said the administration would try to be more responsive to the people's concerns and penalize corrupt officials "without mercy."
Outside the Great Hall of the People where security was tight, two middle-aged would-be protesters broke through a police cordon and ran onto Tiananmen Square. One of them threw leaflets into the air before paramilitary police dragged them off the square.
Li emphasized that China's many ethnic groups were all "equal members of the Chinese nation," an indirect response to frequent complaints by minority Uighurs and Tibetans that they are discriminated against for jobs, passports and bank loans and unfairly subject to intense surveillance.
The work report did not indicate any intention on the government's part to review its ethnic policies in Xinjiang and Tibet. Critics say Beijing's policies of encouraging the migration of majority Han and imposing restrictions on religion and language have fueled the recent years' unrest.
The government also released details on its budget, announcing a 12.2 percent increase in military spending to $132 billion. That followed last year's 10.7 percent increase to $114 billion, giving China the second-highest defense budget for any nation behind the U.S., which spent $600.4 billion on its military last year.
Increases in China's military budget have regularly exceeded both total increases in government spending and the nation's rate of economic growth. That has allowed lavish spending on new hardware and better conditions for soldiers, raising concerns about how China intends to use its new-found power amid a rise in tensions with its neighbors over the country's territorial claims.
In particular, there's been a sharp increase in friction between China and Japan in the past 18 months over control of a string of tiny uninhabited islands in the East China Sea.
While becoming increasingly assertive in its own territorial claims, Beijing has at the same time accused Japan of renewed militarism while dwelling on Tokyo's history as an aggressor during World War II.
"We will safeguard the victory of World War II and the postwar international order, and will not allow anyone to reverse the course of history," Li said, in an obvious dig at Tokyo.
Associated Press writers Didi Tang, Joe McDonald, Christopher Bodeen and Ian Mader contributed to this report.

Police say Hooksett woman with history of 911 misuse arrests called to ask for a pen
HOOKSETT - Police arrested a Hooksett woman Sunday afternoon after she called 911, allegedly looking to find someone to bring her a pen.
Hooksett Police say on Sunday at 5:02 p.m., police were dispatched to the Carrington Farms housing complex at 130 Mammoth Road to investigate a call to 911 for non-emergency reasons.
Upon arrival, they found the suspect, identified as Jeanie Dufresne, 66, of Hooksett, allegedly intoxicated and incoherent in her apartment.
When asked if there was an emergency, police said Dufresne told them she had none and just wanted someone to bring her a pen. Dufresne was previously released on bail on August 4 and August 13 on charges of misuse of 911.
Dufresne was arrested and charged with misuse of 911 and breach of bail. Upon booking, Dufresne refused the services of a bail commissioner and was transported to Merrimack County Jail to await a hearing by video arraignment Monday in 6th Circuit Court in Hooksett.

After the lengthy grind of putting together a dream car, there is nothing like that first cruise. Ask any Lowrider and they will tell you; we are all about cruising down the boulevard; it is our life's blood. Arguably one of the most hallowed cruising spots is the famed Whittier Boulevard. Whether you are from the Los Angeles area or not, you have either heard about, read about, cruised it, or know someone who has been on Whittier Boulevard. While it is one of the most iconic cruising spots, it is not the only mecca of cruising. Almost every major city has or had a cruising spot. The San Diego California area had Highland Avenue in National City, The San Jose, California, area had King and Story Road, and the city of Pomona had Holt and Indian Hill right near the Indian Hill Mall.
Pomona, California's Elim Zavalza remembers seeing Lowriders cruising Holt and Indian Hill as a kid. He recalls seeing Traffic, Elite, and Style car clubs cruising not only the cruising spot, but the streets of Pomona as well. The attention and the respect the cars and the car clubs got seemed intoxicating to the young man. Elim was hooked and set a goal to one day own a ride just as nice as the rides from the Pomona area car clubs.
While looking for parts for a 1962 Chevy Impala hardtop he was restoring, Elim came across this 1962 convertible. It was in pretty good condition and the asking price was right, so he bought it. He put the hardtop on the back burner and went to work on adding his personal touches to the convertible. After giving the drop top a frame-off restoration, Elim had the car he always dreamt about, and he began cruising the Pomona streets faithfully. He proudly added the Good Times car club plaque and represents his club in those same streets and at the shows as well. He'll be the first to tell you that he drives it everywhere, noting that this is one car that was built to be driven. Elim is proud to continue the cycle of Lowriding that he grew up around, and we are proud to show you his clean '62 as a prime example of true dedication to the Lowrider culture.

yeah... this OP is just pure awesomeness... does anyone think that the dispelling of the 'thing' (don't really know what to call it) around the island at the end, means Battler wins or something of the sort? The title pretty much supports it too.... but it's too soon for him to win so...

the opening sequence is good as always
But this song.... what a piece of c**p
Generic Jpop straight out of an industrial line...
They should just stay with the original one...
I'm wondering if it means 07th Expansion is having some kind of 'sponsor' now, to have to include this...
Nothing against Jpop
I like it a lot
But this one...

The sequence is a lot of win, just like the OP of alliance of the golden witch.
That said, even if I think the song is good, it is kinda out of place with the mood and the franchise (a bit too J-pop like Ace said, though I'm not that bothered I guess ).
That... Rika look-alike is certainly yet another psycho witch (well the portrait sure hinted this way with the gloomy background) though I wonder how she will be inserted in the "real world".
Another point that really pumped me was... Battler with a red blade. Probably the red truth, but here, he looks like he might brawl in the witch side (a combo with Kanon and Battler would be excellent!).

My only gripe is that Shikata Akiko didn't do the OP but give it a chance.
Anyway, that scene with Beato and Battler in "White Land", it looks like Beato's hair is down or more scattered than usual.
Spoiler for maybe...:
Also that bit where Beato and Battler is reaching for each other. The scene after that is Bern's and Lambda's silhouette in the background with the chessboard breaking. A foreshadowing?

Love the new song (I'm not getting a j-pop feeling from it.. it feels kinda epic and the choir at the beginning and end is superly awesome <3), love the opening sequence, room open for speculations.. ~ I hope we'll get a lot of scenes with Battler and Beato and for the chessboard itself.. I expect very twisting events ~

The new opening is awesome. I really do like the song, however I prefer the old style for umineko. It's a bit strange to hear such kind of music in connection with this game. |D'
It looks like there'll be some great action going on. I'll be disappointed if not. Thehe.
Seems like the new witch isn't going to be all nice and cute~ fuck yeah. Anyway, I wonder what the 3 'flying' lights were for? Due to the colours I would say Bernkastel and the new witch used to be together until 34 bumped into them?

They uploaded it on Nico Nico too if anyone prefers it.
That music is indeed out of the place. It's a shame as I was rather fond of the previous ones. Oh well, it looks nice at least.

Sauter penalized for illegal fuel cell at Kansas
Sauter penalized for illegal fuel cell at Kansas
Apr. 24, 2013
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Johnny Sauter lost the Truck Series points lead Wednesday after NASCAR penalized him for an illegal fuel cell at Kansas.
Sauter was docked 25 points by NASCAR. It knocked him from first place into a second-place tie with Jeb Burton, 13 points behind new leader Matt Crafton.
Crafton and Sauter are teammates at ThorSport Racing.
The illegal fuel cell was found on the No. 98 Toyota during an opening day inspection and was not used in the race. NASCAR also suspended crew chief Joe Shear four races and fined him $10,000.
Sauter won the first two races of the season and finished fifth at Kansas. He's finished fifth or better in all four Truck Series races this season.

Indiana remains at No. 1 in The Associated Press' Top 25 despite losing a game this week, surviving a week of upsets to become the first team in over a month to hold onto the top ranking.
The Hoosiers (21-3) lost to Illinois on a last-second basket Thursday but rebounded with a win at Ohio State on Sunday. In a week when four of the top five teams and six of the top 10 lost, it was enough to keep the No. 1 ranking.
It ends a stretch of five consecutive weeks with a new No. 1, two weeks short of the longest such stretch in 1993-94. Duke started the run followed by Louisville, Duke again, Michigan and Indiana.

Contact: Daniel Parry, NOAA Public Affairs
A new report, Harmful Algal Research and Response: A Human Dimensions Strategy, proposes a detailed implementation plan for the research necessary to reduce the public health, sociocultural, and economic impacts of harmful algal blooms (HABS). The report was the result of a workshop coordinated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) and provides guidance for implementation of the President's Ocean Action Plan.
Harmful algal blooms are proliferations of microscopic algae that harm the environment and humans by producing toxins that accumulate in shellfish and fish, pollute drinking and swimming water and contaminate coastal air. Increases in the number, frequency and type of harmful algal blooms have become a critical issue in near shore marine waters and freshwater environments globally. Direct economic impacts of HABS in the United States average $75 million annually, including impacts on public health costs, commercial fishing closures, recreation and tourism losses, and in management and monitoring costs.
"A major goal of the President's Ocean Action Plan is to develop ocean and coastal research priorities. This report provides a coordinated national commitment to harmful algal bloom research, research that is a significant part of the NOAA mission to enhance our understanding of ecosystems and with the impact of human populations on them," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Jr., Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator.
Specific research needs identified in the report include assessing the socio-cultural and economic impacts of harmful algal blooms; developing outreach strategies that reduce public exposure; identifying susceptible populations; enhancing interagency and stakeholder coordination; and identifying strategies to reduce the impacts of algal toxins in recreational and drinking waters. The report serves as a framework for research on the human dimensions of coastal ecosystems, research that will promote resilience of coastal communities to other hazards such as pollution and hurricanes.
Human dimensions research provides a research strategy that expands on the public health and socioeconomic impacts critically needed to reduce environmental and human impacts of harmful algal blooms. The report is available on the NOAA website at: http://www.coastalscience.noaa.gov/stressors/extremeevents/hab/HDstrategy.pdf.
The human health impacts of harmful algal blooms are profound. Exposure to certain toxins by inhaling sea spray, consuming contaminated fish or shellfish, or swimming in contaminated waters can cause rashes, respiratory distress, other illnesses, and death in susceptible individuals.
Closure of beaches and fisheries can result in significant lost revenue for coastal and linked economies dependent on seafood harvest or tourism. Sociocultural impacts include disruption of subsistence activities, loss of community identity tied to coastal resource use, and disruption of social relationships and cultural practices.
The report was developed by NOAA and the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in association with researchers from Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, University of Texas at San Antonio, Yuxi Teachers College (China), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, East Carolina University, Bowdoin College, Mote Marine Laboratory, the University of New Hampshire, Cornell University, University of Maryland, Central Washington University, and the Chesapeake Research Consortium.
In 2007 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, celebrates 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA. NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts, and protects.

Maybe a "screenless" laptop is what i want, who are you to judge what system fits my needs best.
I am NOT saying that it is for everyone, but if the specs is correct and i can have both keyb* and computer as i used to back in the days in one kit, i would much prefer it to a laptop. Then i can just use whatever screen i like. And also even though they have shown no interest in supporting AROS yet, they might in the future and an installed base is kind of a good start.
AND the most important of all is the hand-warmer that is the AIO computer. (freezing my fingers off at this very moment, operating at -40 degrees)
Ok i am done. I am actually optimistic about this as most of teir products is allready available from other retailers, and to have the seal of beeing AROS compatible wont hurt.
