WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top Republican tax writer in the House of Representatives is close to releasing a draft on ways to revamp corporate taxes levied on complex financial products, a committee aide said on Wednesday.
The proposal, expected as early as this week, will come from House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, whose panel has been exploring a broad tax code overhaul for more than a year.
Camp wants to slash the top corporate tax rate to 25 percent from 35 percent and simplify the code. Critics of the current corporate tax system note that the United States has one of the steepest corporate tax rates in the world.
Most companies do not pay the top rate, after deductions and other tax breaks. But both parties agree, including Democratic President Barack Obama, that the official rate should be cut.
The House panel, along with the Senate Finance Committee, held a joint hearing on financial products in late 2011, exploring the taxation of stocks, bonds and derivatives.
One witness at the time said derivatives-based tax avoidance strategies are draining revenue from federal coffers.
Under corporate tax law, interest paid on debt is tax deductible, a feature of the tax code that is often abused, and critics say unwisely favors debt over equity.
"Not surprisingly they are looking to confer some of that knowledge into a discussion draft for a possible piece of tax reform," said Jon Traub, a former staff director to Camp who now works as a consultant at Big Four accounting firm Deloitte.
Both congressional panels have been holding hearings to explore a revamp of the entire tax code for more than a year.
Camp has said he will release legislation meant to accomplish that politically daunting feat in 2013, but it is unclear if the effort could garner the backing of Democrats.
Congress is locked in a series of budget battles, including over the debt ceiling and automatic spending cuts.
In 2011, Camp released a discussion draft on international taxation, outlining a series of options for how multinational companies are taxed on foreign profits. Most companies and Republicans back a system of "territorial" taxation, where offshore profits would be largely exempt from U.S. tax.
Obama has backed sticking with the current "worldwide" system, where companies are taxed on all profits earned.
At the same time, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was moving in the direction of a territorial tax system during 2011 budget talks, according to congressional aides.
Camp has been working with his Senate counterpart, Democrat Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, to come together on these issues, but there has been little visible progress over the past year.

Amarillo, TX – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today reacted to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius's veto of a bill requiring abortionists to report the medical reasons why late term abortions were being performed.
"Apparently the Governor would just rather not know why women take the extreme step of aborting their late-term babies or even whether her supporters in the abortion industry comply with the law," said Fr. Pavone. "Sticking one's head in the sand might be OK for ostriches, but it doesn't make for good public policy."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org

The eighth Firefox 3 security / maintenance release is now available and I have an optimized build available for Intel macs.
Check out the official Mozilla Firefox web site to see what's new in Firefox 3.0.8.
Downloads and caveats
Confused why this download is called "Minefield" and has a different icon? See below.
If you really aren't a big fan of the new redesigned theme, I highly recommend aronnax's lovely GrApple Firefox themes which basically make Firefox look a heck of a lot like Safari. Not a bad thing in my book, but your mileage may vary.
Without further ado:
Download Minefield (Firefox) 3.0.8 for Intel
Totally not required, but if you feel like donating to help with bandwidth costs, etc., I'd be most grateful. Any excess money raised will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders). Thanks!
What the hell is Minefield?
So for those of you who have followed my Firefox builds, you all know the drill - those builds used the Mozilla development codename "BonEcho" because it was against the Firefox trademark to distribute non-official builds using that name or icon. With Firefox 3 the development name has changed from BonEcho to Minefield, so all of the Firefox 3 builds available from this site will be called that instead of Firefox.
As for the icon, in the past I either used the default development icon (the blue earth) or a slightly tweaked version. Minefield's development icon changed, though, and it's just… grotesque. Sorry, I can't mince words here - basically someone took the blue earth icon from BonEcho and tacked on a fuse to it. Get it? Minefield? Bomb? Ahem.
With these builds I've reverted back to the blue globe icon instead of using the default development icon, partially for consistency's sake, and partially because it's still a heck of a lot better than the bomb icon.
Moving forward there will no longer be more Firefox 2.x builds - as far as I'm concerned it's obsolete and in the past. That said, I am still chipping away at complete instructions on how to build your own optimized Firefox builds from the comfort of your own home; watch for those in the coming weeks.
As usual, please post feedback and other effluvia in the comments. Enjoy, folks!

Awareness and Preparedness
|BULUSAN VOLCANO BULLETIN 26 October 2015 8:00 A.M.
Bulusan Volcano's seismic monitoring network detected one (1) volcanic earthquake during the past 24 hours. Weak emission of white steam plumes, 50 meters high, that drifted northeast was observed coming from the new and southwest vents, while no steaming was observed from the northwest vent. Precise leveling surveys on September 1-6, 2015 indicated slight inflationary changes of the volcano's edifice relative to July 2015, although ground deformation measurements from GPS data indicated a slight deflationary trend since August 2015.
Alert Level 1 (abnormal) remains in effect over Bulusan Volcano. This indicates that hydrothermal processes are underway beneath the volcano that may lead to steam-driven eruptions. The local government units and the public are reminded that entry to the 4-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) is strictly prohibited due to the possibility of sudden and hazardous steam-driven or phreatic eruptions. Civil aviation authorities must also advise pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano's summit as ash from any sudden phreatic eruption can be hazardous to aircraft. Furthermore, people living within valleys and along river/stream channels especially on the southwest and northwest sector of the edifice should be vigilant against sediment-laden stream flows and lahars in the event of heavy and prolonged rainfall. DOST-PHIVOLCS is closely monitoring Bulusan Volcano's condition and any new development will be relayed to all concerned.

Veoh Shuts Down; What Happens To The Lawsuit?
from the that's-not-good dept
The only problem? Veoh spent a lot of time, money and effort on this lawsuit, and no one was using Veoh.
I'd heard about a month ago that the company was flat broke, but that it had a good chance of raising more money to continue fighting the appeal from Universal Music... but it looks like that fell through. The company has laid off everyone and is shutting down. Those involved with the company are blaming Universal Music... and certainly it's tempting to blame UMG and this pointless lawsuit, which definitely sucked up a ton of resources. But, let's also face facts: no one was using Veoh. When was the last time you were sent a Veoh video? I get sent videos on YouTube, Hulu, Vimeo and even DailyMotion every so often. But I can't recall ever hearing about a Veoh video.
Still, with the company declaring bankruptcy, I'm not quite sure what this would mean for Universal's appeal in the lawsuit. While the company was a total flop, the district court ruling last year set a very important precedent in clearly stating that the DMCA's safe harbors did protect such sites (like YouTube) as long as they complied with the takedown process. Without a company to continue fighting what happens to the appeal? I'm not that familiar with how bankruptcy plays into such lawsuits, so any lawyers here want to chime in and let us know....
Update: Surprised that no one actually answered this question in the comments, but thankfully Eriq Gardner from THR, Esq. has a post explaining what happens to the lawsuit now in all probability:
If Veoh declares Chapter 7, a bankruptcy judge would issue an automatic stay in the case. UMG would likely file a motion with the bankruptcy court seeking relief from the stay to perfect its appeal. The trustee would engage legal counsel and make financial arrangements to cover the costs of defending the case before the 9th Circuit.
We're betting that all of this happens. The requiem on Veoh is now being written, but the company could continue to play a significant role in helping shape copyright liability for tech companies. (We wouldn't even be surprised to see Google acquire Veoh just so it could share in the fun of the action.)

Shaina Sumney Sets Record In SoCon 5,000-Meter Indoor Championship
Related Links
GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG senior runner Shaina Sumney (Washington, Pa./Trinity) won her first ever individual Southern Conference championship and she did it in style setting a SoCon Indoor Track & Field Championship meet record by winning the 5,000-meter race Sunday afternoon at the JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem, helping the Spartans to 18 total points in the meet, running almost exclusively in the distance events.
Sumney ran away from the field in the 5,000-meter race, breaking the SoCon Indoor Championship record with a time of 16:39.02, a career-best time for her at the distance. She set the league record by surpassing the previous top time of Dena O'Brien of the College of Charleston set in 2012 at 16:39.47. Her victory secured 10 points for the Spartans in the team standings at the Indoor Championships.
Senior Chelsea Sumney (Washington, Pa./Trinity), Shaina's twin sister, was the Spartans other top performer in the two-day event. Chelsea secured eight pints for the Spartans as she finished second in the mile race for the second straight year. She turned in a time of 5:00.85 and was narrowly out-touched by Samford's Lauren D'Alessio for the second straight year (4:58.51).
The 2014 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships are held March 14-15 in Albuquerque, N.M. Additionally, the UNCG track and field team jumps directly into the outdoor season March 14-15 as it travels to UNCW for the Seahawk Invitational.

As demonstrated this week during a gathering of observers in Big Bear, California, amateur and professional astronomers are joining forces as never before.Astronomy is one of the few pursuits in which it's sometimes hard to tell an amateur from a professional. Certainly anyone walking into this year's Symposium on Telescope Science, held jointly with the American Association for Variable Star Observers, could easily mistake those gathered for a cadre of academics. But with the advent of affordable, high-quality technologies, such as CCD cameras, and the growth of large collaborations, amateurs are increasingly doing hardcore science that is indistinguishable in quality from professional work. Often they are partnering with professionals, too.
One such pro-am project that has impressed participants here focuses on the eclipsing binary star system YY Geminorum. This pair of small, cool M dwarf stars is only 71 arcseconds from Castor and 7.5 magnitudes dimmer than the brilliant Twin, making the binary incredibly difficult to observe. Leslie Hebb (Vanderbilt University) wanted to see if magnetic activity, such as that which creates star spots, could explain why the stars are larger than expected. However, the extensive observations she needed to map the stars' magnetic fields, as well as how often they flare, whether they have spots, and how their brightness varies, would take too much time on in-demand professional scopes.So she turned to amateurs for help: she attacked the magnetic-field question with the 3.6-meter Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii, while nine amateurs from around the world attacked the other questions by closely observing the binary's light.
The results of the amateurs' observations, completed over the same time period as Hebb's, show that YY Gem flares a lot — the amateur team recorded 20 flares over the 10-day-long intensive observing run — and also suggest that the stars have star spots. As Utah-based observer Jerrold Foote told attendees, it's too soon to say whether this high activity explains the stars' apparent beefiness. But the ingenuity required to observe the system, the quality of the data, and the observers' crucial role make the project an exquisite example of pro-am collaboration.YY Gem isn't the only cool pro-am project being presented here. A 20-year campaign to study the behavior of the cataclysmic variable BK Lyncis, a binary system with a white dwarf stealing material from its companion, revealed that it might be the only known example of a system transitioning from a nova (when hydrogen fusion reignites on the white dwarf's surface) to a dwarf nova (when accreting material collapses onto the dwarf).
This switch appears to be just one phase of a much longer process of outbursts, and it might explain the existence and rarity of a class of variable stars typified by ER Ursae Majoris.
Other presenters have already showcased efforts to spot meteors hitting the Moon, to look for signs of interacting galaxies, and to make asteroid parallax measurements perfect for teaching students about the solar system — it all makes you wonder if "amateur" is really a fair designation.

Miley Cyrus: 'Scared' Of Losing Liam Hemsworth So She's 'Acting Out'
A source close to the Cyrus family tells HollywoodLife.com the real reason behind Miley's recent exhibitionism!
Miley Cyrus has been flashing her side boob and lady parts to paparazzi lately and it's had us very concerned. In fact, we spoke to a Cyrus family friend who explained to us one reason the 19-year-old pop star might be acting out — she's scared of losing her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth!
"I think Miley feels insecure about her relationship with Liam right now," the insider said. "Let's face it, Liam has a lot on his plate right now. His career is blowing up and he has a promising future, thanks to The Hunger Games and some other impressive projects."
Not only is The Hunger Games doing exceedingly well in the box office, Liam, 22, is about to start shooting Empire State with Dwayne Johnson and Emma Roberts. Then he's off to shoot Broken Run with John Singleton AND Arabian Nights with Morgane Slemp, who's gorgeous.
Miley Cyrus Hospitalized — Big Gash On Finger, Rushed To ER
"Miley is feeling threatened," our source said, explaining, "When she first met Liam, he was not well known at all. I think she is just crying out for attention and she's worried she may lose him."
We're used to Miley being so confident, it's hard to imagine her being self-conscious and scared of losing her man. Do YOU think she has anything to worry about?

January 9, 2014 — I was thrilled to be named a Catalyst Canada Honours Champion for 2013. Catalyst Canada does an amazing job of truly inspiring corporate Canada, and once again there was a huge A-list audience in attendance at the Catalyst Canada Honours dinner. The audience was clearly engaged and perhaps expected Catalyst Canada Champions to cite the many hardships of being a woman in business. Instead, Champions talked about whom and what inspired them to be successful and attain those coveted senior leadership roles in business.
I've got to admit, I've always believed that being a woman in business has been an advantage for me. When I graduated from university back in 1982, I thought the world was my oyster. There were not a lot of senior women role models out there, but I had the education and the drive, and I was ready to earn my place. There were certainly challenges along the way, but there were also advantages, opportunities and supporters. Back then, being the CFO of TD Bank—a position I've now held for eight years—was beyond my wildest dreams, but one thing led to another, and I know that someday, when I retire from TD, being a woman (a qualified woman, of course!) will be a big advantage for me in obtaining important board positions.
So part of my advice for women is: "Let's change our language." Throughout my career, people have wanted to talk about the barriers and obstacles to the advancement of women. I'm not saying that institutional barriers don't exist—and as a leader, I'm committed to being a Catalyst to remove them. But the minute we shift our focus to talking about barriers and obstacles, we start to own them and believe in them. And for the next generation of women leaders, it can be a big drag to hear us talk about how hard it is/was. By all means, let's challenge and remove barriers, but let's put an equal amount of our time and energy into talking about the joy of a great career: we educated, ambitious women have everything we need to be a smashing success!
I'd love to hear your thoughts in the space below.
Colleen Johnston is a 2013 Catalyst Canada Honours Business Leader Champion and Group Head Finance, Sourcing and Corporate Communications & Chief Financial Officer at TD Bank Group.

Fiber is commonly know to promote good digestive health and regularity. But there are more benefits of increasing the amount of fiber to your daily diet.
When it comes to heart health, you can't overstate the importance of a fibrous diet. Several studies has proved that a fiber rich diet reduce the risk of heart disease.
Fiber is undigested starch and traps bad cholesterol and drags it out of the body through the digestive tract. Soluble fibers, that you find in carrots, oats, barley, fruit and dried beans to name a few sources, turns into a gel during the digestive process and and prevents cholesterol, fat and sugars from being completely absorbed by the body.
Except for the fat and sugar binding properties of fiber it will also help you loose weight since it expands in your stomach and intestines, making you feel full faster and for longer.

RE: Proof of Jesus?
You have to read to believe... how would you not know if you don't read. We are so busy trying to put the Word of God down as if it does not exist. Jesus did exist, Jesus is God, and Jesus is the Word. Just except it.
Read John 1:1-5 and 14
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,d who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Until you show me proof, like I just did.. than you stand defeated.
You know what the bible is.. you just don't want to know. Because the bible expose who we are. Yes, sometime it is hard to take, but when you Jesus teach you what is right...it is sweet.
Jesus still love you.
RE: Proof of Jesus?
Hello fstratzero,
Yes, Paul wrote the book of Timothy... but like I said earlier... God inspired him and gave him the words to write:
2 Tim 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness

Digital Copyright
Prometheus Books, 2006 - Law - 216 pages
In 1998, copyright lobbyists succeeded in persuading Congress to enact laws greatly expanding copyright owners' control over individuals' private uses of their works. The efforts to enforce these new rights have resulted in highly publicized legal battles between established media and new upstarts.
In this enlightening and well-argued book, law professor Jessica Litman questions whether copyright laws crafted by lawyers and their lobbyists really make sense for the vast majority of us. Should every interaction between ordinary consumers and copyright-protected works be restricted by law? Is it practical to enforce such laws, or expect consumers to obey them? What are the effects of such laws on the exchange of information in a free society?
Litman's critique exposes the 1998 copyright law as an incoherent patchwork. She argues for reforms that reflect common sense and the way people actually behave in their daily digital interactions.
This paperback edition includes an afterword that comments on recent developments, such as the end of the Napster story, the rise of peer-to-peer file sharing, the escalation of a full-fledged copyright war, the filing of lawsuits against thousands of individuals, and the June 2005 Supreme Court decision in the Grokster case.

Monday's Daily Pulse
What you need to know about Florida today
Clock ticking on Gov. Rick Scott's legislative wish list
As Gov. Rick Scott and House Speaker Will Weatherford sat shoulder-to-shoulder at a recent legislative prayer breakfast, the governor may have had a special reason to look to the heavens. With two weeks left in the 2013 session, Scott's legislative priorities are in serious disarray. He hasn't asked for much, and lawmakers aren't placating him. [Source: Times/Herald]
» Will it be Senator Bill Nelson vs. Governor Rick Scott in 2014?
» Future of Medicaid expansion in hands of key GOP House members
» Legislature, Scott square off on merit pay raises for teachers
» Local merchants hope Legislature delivers online sales tax plan
» Legislators to haggle over Visit Florida money
» Scott roams state to announce new jobs
Planning for big events should provide groupwork for preparing for crises
As businesses in the downtown Jacksonville area prepared for the One Spark festival, one thought on some minds was how they'd deal with any of the sort of problems that might arise when a large group of people descended on the area. Particularly in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, experts say, the type of planning that goes into getting ready for a major event should pave the way for businesses preparing for any disruption, from a natural disaster to a man-made crises. [Source: Florida Times-Union]
Florida becomes 4th state to sue BP over gulf spill
The state of Florida filed a lawsuit Saturday against oil company BP and cement contractor Halliburton over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, becoming the fourth state to seek damages for the 2010 disaster. [Source: AP]
Tolls may someday eclipse gas taxes
Cars these days get far better gas mileage than the behemoths of Detroit's Golden Age. Mid-size sedans today go farther on a gallon than even "economy" cars of just a few years. While that might be good for drivers' pocketbooks and the environment, it comes with a significant drawback: Less money for highways, bridges and other transportation projects. [Source: Florida Today]
Cash-strapped clients get creative when paying attorneys
Furs, guns, jewelry, a whole lot of boats and fancy cars, a hotel, an army tank, a ranch in Wyoming, a herd of cattle in Venezuela, a tray of lasagna, two Yorkie dogs and a lifetime supply of live bait. All offered as payment to South Florida lawyers by clients who ran out of cash. [Source: Orlando Sentinel]
› One sign the Tampa Bay economy is cooking
Unemployment is down and the Dow is bouncing back, too. But want another indication that the economic picture is getting sunnier? New restaurants are popping up all over the Tampa Bay area.
› Uninsured health care workers push for medicaid expansion
It's an expensive irony: Health care workers who can't afford health insurance, but in Florida that is the plight of some full-time employees of local nursing homes and other smaller or independent health-industry players.
› Retired lettuce breeder, 98, keeps on working to develop better varieties
Victor Guzman officially retired in 1988, but still works most days without any pay from UF because there's nothing else he'd rather do. Since his wife Ruth passed away about 10 years ago, he spends even more time on his projects, whether he's in the field, the greenhouse or working in his yard, which some describe as a lush tropical paradise.
› Florida Democrats are short on statewide candidates
Florida's largest political party has a problem. Although registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in Florida by 500,000, and President Barack Obama has carried the Sunshine State in the past two presidential elections, the party has no obvious candidates to run for statewide office next year.

I spent quite a bit of time toward the end of last week typing letters to Santa from local kids, along with our newest Times family member, Kayla. We both enjoyed the letters, particularly the way the children worded them and what they asked for.
My wife Sandra and I would like to invite everyone to come by and enjoy our Christmas light display again this year. We have had several people ask if we were going to have the display again this year.
In our opinion, when financial times are as rough as they are now, we need to keep our holiday traditions alive. Our light display is one tradition that brings smiles to everyone. So please come by and see it.
I don't interfere with nor attend the Gadsden County commissioners meetings on a regular basis. But since there was so much hoopla about opening the hospital, I decided to attend their meeting out of concern and curiosity, to see and hear what the commissioners had to say.
I was not impressed and only impressed by one commissioner's determination, Brenda Holt, to open a 25-bed facility for the people of Gadsden County.

Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Leave The BAFTA Awards Together!
Rob & Kristin are together again! Even though they tried to avoid each other on the carpet, the two were photographed leaving the BAFTA Awards together!
Why do Robert Pattinson, 23, and Kristen Stewart, 19, always hide their love? The Twilight Saga co-stars haven't been together since New Year's Eve — but they were spotted leaving the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards in Rob's home town of London TOGETHER on Feb. 21!
R-Patz and K-Stew are both desperately trying to make a name for themselves outside the Vampire world — Rob has been filming love story Bel Ami while Kristen has been working on indie flick The Yellow Handkerchief.
The two avoided each other on the red carpet at the awards, but afterwards, dashed off in a car together. We guess Rob wasn't too upset about the fact that K-Stew completely dissed his kissing technique!

Excellent MTB shoe at a good price. Has traditional buckle system which works for me much better than the new BOA systems that most companies are pushing these days. Spreads the force across a wide area rather than digging in like the BOA systems do. Good traction for hike-a-bike when needed. I like the green accents for added visibility.

Metallica Release Helsinki Show Footage, Including Live Debut of 'The Frayed Ends of Sanity'
As Metallica have been playing their 'By Request' tour where fans pick the setlist, the shows have included their big hits like 'One,' 'Enter Sandman' and 'Nothing Else Matters,' but also some surprises.
The fans at Sonisphere Finland voted for 'The Frayed Ends of Sanity' from 1988's '…And Justice For All,' and Metallica played it live in its entirety for the first time at the May 28 show. You can see that performance and other material in the latest Met On Tour video (watch above).
The 30-minute video starts with the band playing 'The Frayed Ends of Sanity" at sound check the day before the Helsinki show, and then they tackle it in their 'tuning room' the day of the festival before being rudely interrupted by a wayward bee.
The video also includes Metallica's performances of 'Enter Sandman' and 'The Frayed Ends of Sanity' from the Helsinki concert. The 'By Request' tour continues with more European shows through mid-July. The band will be playing their lone North American date this summer on Aug. 9 at Heavy Montreal.

The proliferation of electronic devices with video-recording capability means that many of our images of current events come from bystanders with a ready cell phone or digital camera rather than a traditional film crew, and news stories are now just as likely to be broken by a blogger at her computer as a reporter at a major newspaper. Such developments make clear why the news-gathering protections of the First Amendment cannot turn on professional credentials or status.

Opera targets unsmartphones with Mini ad exchange
How to make money without a monopoly – or a sugar daddy
Opera has launched its own mobile ad exchange, designed to serve ads on both smartphones and old school feature phones via its Opera Mini browser.
These ads will appear on webpages, but they'll be optimized for Opera Mini, which uses proxy servers to compress and deliver ads to more than 66 million handests worldwide, according to the company's figures.
The exchange is the result of Opera's acquisition of mobile ad outfit AdMarvel earlier this year. It offers AdMarvel-built analytics and reporting tools that allow advertisers and publishers to track the performance of their ads, which are embedded in webpages via Javascript.
Opera is particularly high on the platform's ability to target feature phones. "This is a large and untapped market with vast opportunities," says Opera man Haavard Moen. And in the end, Moen believes this is nothing but a good thing for all those Opera Mini users out there. "The announcement is primarily aimed at publishers and advertisers, but it is also relevant (and good news!) for users of Opera Mini," he says.
"We will now be able to increase the revenue coming from Opera Mini, which means that we get even more money to make it even better! Remember, a company like Opera needs to make money to survive (as we can't rely on being promoted by a monopoly, or funded by "sugar-daddies"), and running a service like Opera Mini can be costly."
For the uninitiated, that was a swipe at Microsoft Internet Explorer – and Mozilla's Firefox. ®

Sisters Anna and Mia Dietrich and friend Emily McLawhorn turned their violin talents into a fund-raising effort that garnered $1,900 during the holidays for the program Reach Out and Read, a national children's literacy program. The money will be used to buy books for ECU pediatricians to give their young patients.
"We believe that early literacy will promote both academic success and build self esteem, much in the way that our early start in music (at age 3) has done for us," Anna said. "It seemed like a perfect fit."
Anna, 16, and Emily, 18, began Project Harmony in 2005 as a way to raise money for music scholarships and other youth-oriented programs. Mia, 14, joined them the following year. Sometimes friends or siblings join them. They play with the ECU Eastern Youth Orchestra and at the local Suzuki Violin Institute. Their Project Harmony T-shirts read, "United by strings, motivated by love."
Playing at holiday parties and other gatherings, they raised several hundred dollars for projects such as Sadie Saulter Elementary School's fledgling violin program. But their efforts hit a high note late last year when they started playing for Reach Out and Read.
Their first event was a holiday party hosted by Dr. Dale Newton, an ECU pediatrician. From there, they played at five other events, raising money at each one. They performed chamber music and Christmas carols, Anna said.
"These talented young women gave up evenings of free time to raise funds for the books for children," said Newton, who invited the girls to play at a second event. "That is pretty special."
At other times of year, Project Harmony provides music therapy for those who are unwell and of limited mobility, frequently playing for patients at Pitt County Memorial Hospital, nursing facilities and even those who are shut-in. All three have volunteered their time working with younger violin students in Pitt County and Greene County Schools.
Anna and Mia are students at J.H Rose High School and the daughters of Julie and Robert Dietrich of Greenville. Emily is a student at Greene Central High School and the daughter of Ed and Annell McLawhorn of Snow Hill.

Happy Music Monday! Say, what's better than singing? That's right! TALKING! So many classic songs aren't based around anything more than a simple conversation between artist and listener. Today Scott's selected five of his favorite talky songs. As always, you are encouraged to do the same. But first, you'll have to suffer through his. Is suffer the right term? You be the judge...
David Bowie - Glass Spider
Going to see a concert in 1983 1987, one might not expect a multi-story spider to be waiting inside. But leave it to Bowie to go high-concept in the age of outrageousness. Who else could upstage a giant spider with a simple story? Seriously, listen to what he's saying. What is he even saying? No wonder his son played D&D.
More talking to come inside! See you after the jump.
Golden Earring - Twilight Zone
Not many songs begin with an inaudible mumble and yet still become hits. Even people who know the lyrics by heart will go "wuzzle bumble fuzzle TWO AM!!!" when this rock classic comes on the radio. But it's the talking part that makes it extra sinister. And that makes it work.
ABC - The Look Of Love
Of course, this ABC song is as simple as a Motown hit. "Your reason for living's your reason for leaving" is the most succinct breakdown of a lover's quarrel that's ever been. But it's the conversation, as though between two mates in a coffee shop, that really helps you understand how much poor Martin needs your help. Then maybe one day he can find that look again.
U2 - Silver And Gold
Really almost any random U2 song after 1984 would probably fit in this category, but Silver And Gold is the moment Bono really became the Bono we all know and often want to shut up. From the quasi-foreign pronunciation of apartheid to the famous "Am I buggin' you?" to his total control over The Edge, this is the talking song that all talking songs dream of being.
Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light
This song has a baseball game in it. THIS SONG. HAS. A. BASEBALL GAME. IN IT. Maybe you're a fan and maybe you're not but you cannot help but admire the audacity.
If you feel like talking further, hit up our Turntable.fm room for the regular Music Monday enjoyment. Also, let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use.
Michael Jackson - "Thriller"
The talking end part with Vincent Price IS priceless! hahahahahaha!
Any slowcore song ever, a lot of rap songs, plenty of abstract deep cut experimental avant garde tracks to choose from...oh and any spoken word version of a song ever.
here are a few of my choices
Grim Grinning Ghosts -
Slint - Breadcrumb Trail
Nsfl: Golden Palominos - Victim
At last, another semi-natural opportunity to post Algebra Suicide songs!
This is a four-song EP, containing True Romance at the World's Fair, Recalling the Last Encounter, Praxis and In Bed With Boys
And just for fun, (A Proverbial Explanation For) Why No Action Is Taken
Not early '80's enough?
Have some Waitresses:
Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful
And here's some Soft Cell!
Featuring my favorite fake facial hair/hedge trimmer moment ever, and Marc Almond angrily eating a chrysanthemum! Seriously, though: if Marc is expressing your innermost thoughts as a repressed middle-aged man, you are probably not fantasizing about Bo Derek. It takes me out of the song a little bit.
Here is some Eno:
Dead Finks Don't Talk
That's a good beginning.
but before Michael, there was Alice!
Alice Cooper - "The Black Widow"
Vincent Price again!
King Crimson-Elephant Talk
Too Much?
Why won't you give it a rest?
With Myself?
Most of the early Moody Blues albums had at least one track with Greame Edge's poetry in it. I'll go with the one most people would be familiar with: "Nights in White Satin/Late Lament"
"Are You Lonesome Tonight?", by Elvis Presley
"Smokin' in the Boys Room", by Brownsville Station
"Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie
Three songs about talking:
Gary Numan, My Conversation
Bauhaus, Small Talk Stinks
G.G. Allin and the Jabbers, Don't Talk to Me
Did someone say 80's? Barf me out! :p
Modern 80's vibe.
Late 80's
And the rest...
'Tis (almost) the season! @_@
Bowie's Glass Spider tour was in 1987, not '83. It was also the last appearance of Peter Frampton's hair.

Thanks for posting this, Vig.
The Moody Blues belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!!
Ah, breaker ...
C. W. McCall - "Convoy"
I'm going to have to recycle "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" by Baz Luhrmann from the other week. The only other one I can think of is the intro from "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot.
Alan Jackson, The Talkin Song, Repair Blues

They filmed a scene of that movie in the small town where I lived. As a youngun of course. A friend of my brother (older) rides his bike over, "They're filming a movie by [local landmark]!" So naturally I tag along.

I very much appreciate this as a safe space on the internet where a woman can express her love of obscure early '80's spoken word bands and early '70's English children's shows AND her greater than average familiarity with the oeuvre of the late G.G. Allin without fear.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Swedish furniture giant Ikea Group apologized Friday for using components made by forced prison labor, including political prisoners, in the former East Germany during the 1980s, according to The New York Times on Friday. Ikea issued the apology after a company-commissioned report by auditors Ernst & Young confirmed that some of Ikea's suppliers used political prisoners as laborers, and that certain Ikea employees were aware of the situation. The suppliers in question were state-owned companies that operated under the former communist regime. The report noted that at the time, Ikea employees were not allowed to visit production sites in East Germany without tight supervision. "Even though Ikea Group took steps to secure that prisoners were not used in production, it is now clear that these measures were not effective enough," Ikea said, as cited by the newspaper.

Solving the CFL Quandary Thanks for bringing up the quandary over recycling CFLs ("The Afterlife of CFLs," Jan/Feb '08, p. 2). The CFL is a potentially beneficial product, so much so that some countries, provinces, and localities want to ban the sale of incandescent lamps and mandate their replacement with more efficient light sources like CFLs. Ireland and Australia begin an incandescent ban in 2009; the Nunavut Canadian province begins their ban in 2010; and the Ontario, Canada, ban on incandescents begins in 2012. But banning incandescents in the United States will only make sense if we put a convenient recycling path in place, and we take care of the mercury hazard by properly recycling these CFL bulbs at the end of their lives. EPA estimates that 200 million CFLs were sold in the United States in 2007, and with the new attention to CFLs in the media and the entry of mass marketers such as Wal-Mart, Target, and Costco, that number will no doubt increase in 2008. Those 200 million CFLs will have to be recycled at some point, 5, 6, or 12 years down the road. Two hundred million CFLs sounds like a large enough number to justify putting a nationwide collection and recycling system in ...

The potential health risks of exposure to Bisphenol-A in plastics is a concern to many parents, health care professionals, educators and policy makers who often do not know where to turn for science-based information on the latest research.
At 1 p.m. EST on Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 17, the public will have a chance to hear from two experts, University of Massachusetts Amherst environmental health scientist, endocrine disruptor researcher and BPA expert Laura Vandenberg, and Sarah Vogel of the Environmental Defense Fund in a one-hour, free, online Google+ Hangout discussion on this controversial chemical.
Earlier this year, Vandenberg and colleagues pointed out that experts concluded more than 10 years ago that "the state of the science justified regulatory action" for endocrine disrupters including BPA and called for "a better founded scientific debate which may help to overcome a polarization of views detrimental to reaching a consensus about scientific foundations for endocrine disrupter regulation."
Vogel has frequently written and spoken about the controversy over BPA and the impact of new emerging science on regulatory policy. She is the author of the book "Is It Safe: BPA and the Struggle to Define the Safety of Chemicals."
Google+ Hangouts on Air is a free live broadcasting service from Google that lets people join a group conversation about topics they're interested in. To take part in the Google+ Hangout, see details on joining at google.com/+EdfOrg,then sign in at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, Dec. 17.
Questions for Vandenberg and Vogel can be submitted on the event page or on Twitter or Facebook, using the hashtag #BPA101. A handful of questions will be selected during the event. This Google+ Hangout will be moderated by Dominique Browning, co-founder and senior director of +Moms Clean Air Force.

Here at SciBlogs, there are apparently very specific rules we have to follow for shillery.
Scientists writing about their presentations and conferences, radio programs, debates, books, etc: GOOD
Science 'journalists' writing about their books, appearances/signings, TV shows, movies: GOOD
Mark CC writing about Google and Google products: GOOD
Pepsi scientists writing about the science of products at Pepsi: BAD
Well I feel left out. Ive never written a book or worked with Alan Ball or big HALLAYWOOOOD directors. No one even asked me to be in EXPELLED. So I cant shill for any of that stuff. And Ive never worked for a big company. And there are few virology-based pop-culture items I can shill for (are there any? do condoms count?). So Im just going to shill for random products/companies/programs I like, for basically no reason. I mean, sure Im not a researcher for Pepsico or anything like that, so I cant write about any science here, but opinions being devoid of science has never stopped anyone from expressing those opinions here at SciBlogs before. Why start now?
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Its normally my biggest meal of the day, and I regularly end up having breakfast foods for dinner. Eggs (a million different ways), bacon, sausage, french toast, waffles, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, omelets, muffins (BREAKFAST CAEK!!!), cream of wheat, and, oatmeal.
I love oatmeal.
I love Quaker oats.
Im not a *huge* fan of their flavored microwave oatmeal (though I always keep it on hand on mornings Im really in a rush), but I make this SUPER NOMMY granola using Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats. The one morning food I dont totally like is cereal. I mean, it tastes fine, and its enriched with vitamins and minerals and stuff, but I am inevitably hungry an hour after I have 'just cereal' for breakfast. But not when I make Alton Browns granola (bonus shilling for the Food Network!)!
I actually go to a foo-foo grocery store to get lots of different raw nuts and seeds, and unsweetened dried coconut to cut down on the sugar/salt content, and increase the nutrients (pumpkin seeds are loaded with iron). And then with some fresh fruit cut up on top, this stuff is friggen awesome. Dont leave out the coconut, though. The way it crisps up in the oven, LOVE IT (bonus shilling for the coconut industry!)
This granola is also great for my dad, who is on a low sodium diet. He is normally a big-time snacker (crackers, nuts, pretzels, etc), but hes had to cut out a lot of his favorites due to his restricted diet. But this granola is super crunchy and satisfies his snacky-needs, without a lot of sodium (I leave it out, even in batches just for me), AND it helps his cholesterol.
YAY QUAKER OATS!! Your product is worth a shilling! LOL!

Winslow Homer is one of the best known painters of American scenes of outdoor life. After an apprenticeship in lithography, Homer began his career as an illustrator for Harper's, drawing scenes of the Civil War battlefront. After the war, he traveled to Europe and then spent the summer of 1873 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he began to work in watercolor—what would eventually became his primary medium. Homer's outdoor genre scenes painted a varied picture of Americana, from scenes of wilderness guides, to rural African American life in the post-Civil War era, to children at play. In 1881, he spent almost two years on the English coast depicting simple scenes of the local communities. As his career evolved, Homer turned more and more to the sea, and a move to a secluded spot in coastal Maine prompted the eternal struggle between man and nature to become a prominent theme in his work.

Hi, i'm just looking for some advice in relation to retrieving data from a MySQL database and displaying in nice looking rows. Basically, what i want to do is call the data into separate rows similar to what is on here. I'm not sure if these are separate divs or rows but it looks pretty cool. I've been searching the net for instructions on displaying MySQL data on a webpage but haven't found a whole lot. I'm just wondering if anyone know how this is done. I know how to call the data but it's just displaying the data is causing the issue. If anyone can point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it.
Thank you
