The world-famous silver bird of Fort Worth-based American Airlines is getting a bold new makeover.
American Airlines CEO Thomas Horton debuted the airline's new livery in a recorded video on the airline's website at 9 a.m. Thursday. Two hours later, Horton hosted a news conference at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, where a 737 with the new livery, pictured above, was on display.
The old livery, which has been in use since the 1960s, relied on the plane's metallic fuselage for much of its look, along with iconic red, white and blue stripes that stretched the length of the fuselage.
Instead, there will be a silver, mica-painted plane with an American flag emblazoned on the tail.
"Since the polished metal look was no longer an option [due to the composite skin of new aircraft on order], the importance of the paint selection became critical to honoring American's silver bird legacy," the airline said in a news release.
Ahead of the wings, the word American in big, thin gray letters along the fuselage will be easily read from the ground. Closer to the cockpit on both sides of the fuselage, the company's new eagle logo looks forward, toward the direction of travel. The look can be seen in the photo above and in the gallery to the below, left.
The new logo will debut on Jan. 31 with a flight from DFW to Brazil.
"Our new logo and livery are designed to reflect the passion for progress and the soaring spirit, which is uniquely American," said Virasb Vahidi, American's chief commercial officer. "Our core colors -- red, white and blue -- have been updated to reflect a more vibrant and welcoming spirit. The new tail, with stripes flying proudly, is a bold reflection of American's origin and name. And our new flight symbol, an updated eagle, incorporates the many icons that people have come to associate with American, including the 'A' and the star."
American hopes to have 25 to 30 percent of its fleet outfitted with the logo change by the end of year. By the end of next year, most of the fleet should be outfitted.
Horton said the timing of the new livery went well with shipments of the Boeing 777-300ER coming into service. A shipment of 59 Boeing 737s and 777s will become part of the fleet by the end of the year.
The airline also has composite aircraft on order -- the Boeing 787 and planes from Airbus.
"Since placing our landmark aircraft order in July of 2011, we've been building anticipation toward a moment in time when the outside of our aircraft reflects the progress we've made to modernize our airline on the inside," Horton said. "While we complete the evaluation of whether a merger can build on American's strengths, we remain steadfast in each step we take to renew our airline, a step we take with great respect for our name American. Today marks important progress in that journey as we unveil a new and updated look for the first time in more than 40 years."
The makeover comes at a time when the company is still evaluating whether a merger with US Airways could benefit the company. Even with a merger, some analysts believe the new look would help signify a reinvented American Airlines and a signal that the brand is here to stay.
"It's a new day and they are restructured, reimagined, reinvented, they certainly want their customers to know that," said Jeff Millet, of Holmes Millet Advertising.
After the reveal Thursday morning, travelers at DFW Airport said they liked the new look but said that what the airline does next to emerge from bankruptcy matters the most. The pilots and flight attendants unions shared the sentiment.
"We'd prefer that the focus be on fixing AA's systemic network, revenue and cultural problems rather any cosmetic issues such as painting schemes," Allied Pilots Association spokesman Tom Hoban said.
"APFA is excited about the change this means for our employer," said Leslie Mayo with the Association of Professional Flight Attendants. "We hope this rebranding is the first of many steps toward making American Airlines a company that we can be proud to work for and one that can grow and compete in today's marketplace. That can only happen with a merger inside bankruptcy. A merger is the best path forward for our company, our industry, the employees and the traveling public, and APFA hopes to celebrate an announcement shortly."
"We applaud our friends at American as the new brand elements and livery mark the culmination of a significant amount of work and coordination, and clearly those efforts have produced a compelling result," US Airways said in a statement. "As American continues its restructuring, today's announcement represents the ongoing evolution of both the brand and the company, and we look forward to seeing the new American brand across their planes and around the world."
Horton said Thursday that the switch to the new brand may take years to filter down to all planes, airports and terminals, but that the switch would happen soon at hubs in DFW, New York, Miami and Chicago.
DFW Airport's Terminal A will also feature the new look when it is complete in early February.
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the Boeing 777-300ER has a composite skin. The Boeing 777-300ER is an aluminum plane. NBC 5 regrets the error.

Committee Opinion Number 427, February 2009
ABSTRACT: The World Health Organization estimates that 67,000 women, mostly in developing countries, die each year from untreated or inadequately treated abortion complications. Postabortion care, a term commonly used by the international reproductive health community, refers to a specific set of services for women experiencing problems from all types of spontaneous or induced abortion. There is increasing evidence that misoprostol is a safe, effective, and acceptable method to achieve uterine evacuation for women needing postabortion care. To reduce maternal mortality, availability of postab...

The U.S. Air Force is laying the groundwork for a next-generation protected military satellite communications architecture with $84.3 million worth of contracts issued to 17 companies to explore a variety of options.
The studies kicked off last month and will continue for two years.
Today's space-based protected milsatcom architecture consists of legacy Milstar satellites and two new Advanced Extremely High Frequency spacecraft made by Lockheed Martin. There are also payloads in polar orbit to reach areas in the extreme latitudes.
However, some in the space community question whether the Pentagon should consider a "disaggregated" architecture that allows for distributing the various functions of a protected communications satellite among different platforms. This could reduce the risk of a major service outage in the event a satellite becomes compromised, either for technical or more nefarious reasons.
An example would be to conduct the nuclear-hardened command-and-control mission on a separate platform from those handing tactical satcom needs. Today, those are collocated on large, expensive spacecraft.
The Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, which manages the service's satcom programs, issued the contracts in September following a broad agency announcement. The focus of the work is on protected tactical systems.
"The awards will enable the next generation protected tactical system by using an unclassified waveform that jointly meets the needs of multiple services across the Department of Defense while also addressing affordability," SMC officials said in an announcement last week. The work will support an acquisition in the fiscal year 2020 time frame, they say.
Among the requirements for tactical communications will be technologies to facilitate the continued use of unmanned aircraft, ground soldiers on the move and maritime operations for the Navy and Marine Corps.
Questions to be explored by the contractors include where best to put the processing function for data — in the space segment or in terminals.
SMC has broken the contracts into levels of effort: "low-end" contractors, with work around $150,000, will participate in a working group while "high-end" contractors, with up to $10 million of work, will build hardware and execute some demonstrations and testing.
Contractors and their roles are as follows:
• For waveform development: Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, L-3 Communications, Hughes, ViaSat, Orbital, General Dynamics, Space Micro, Lockheed Martin, Hughes, and Arkham Technology Limited.
• For the protected space/ground segment design and demonstration: Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Space Systems Loral.
• For the gateway risk-reduction demonstration: Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.
• For the mission planning and management demonstration: Boeing and Hughes.
• For terminal design and demonstration: Raytheon and L-3 Communications.
• For the terminal cryptographic component development and demonstration: ViaSat and L-3 Communications.

Four plush dolls were released by Nanco in conjunction with the television broadcast of The Muppets' Wizard of Oz: The Scarecrow, Tattypoo, Tin Thing and the Cowardly Lion.
The plush were exclusive to only one Macy's department store, in New York City, the same location at which window displays for the TV movie could be seen. They have since been sporadically available, like other Nanco plush, in skill machines as prizes.

Lindsay Lohan has landed.
The star arrived at Los Angeles International Airport just after 7 PM on Saturday, arriving on a British Airways flight from London's Heathrow airport.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan - From Teen Queen To 'Mean Girl'
Access Hollywood was on the scene as paparazzi, press and cameramen attempted to track down the actress, who managed the evade most of the media by exiting via the second floor of the airport — the departure level.
On the arrivals level, three bodyguard-type personnel were stationed at a side gate, but not the one the actress emerged from. Additionally, a black escalade was parked in front of the arrivals area for around an hour, but the actress did not get in that vehicle. One source who did see the star at the airport observed she was wearing a black hat and sunglasses.

A source previously told Access that Lindsay had boarded the flight and was heading home from her European jaunt earlier in the day on Saturday.
On Thursday, Lindsay missed a scheduled court date after making a last-minute trip to the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, to promote her upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic, "Inferno."
In court, her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, stated that the actress' passport had been stolen and she had attempted to get a new one in time to fly back for the hearing.

Judge Marsha Revel then issued a warrant for the star's arrest, which was recalled later that evening after a ,000 bail bond had been posted.
Lindsay will have her next day in court on Monday before Judge Revel, whom the LA Superior Court previously told Access is cutting short her vacation to make the appearance.

One of the lead actresses in Broadway's troubled mega-production "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" is leaving the production, according to a published report.
Natalie Mendoza, who suffered a concussion during the musical's first preview performance last month, is hammering out an exit agreement with the show's producers, The New York Times reports. Mendoza played Arachne, a spider villainess.
An official statement on her departure is expected soon. The development comes days after another serious accident befell the production. A stunt actor fell 30 feet (nine meters) while playing Spider-Man, sending him to the emergency room during a Saturday night production.
Christopher Tierney needed back surgery but according to his family, he is recovering well.
Julie Taymor, the director and co-writer of the $65 million production, visited the injured actor in the hospital on Christmas Eve, Tierney said. The show — the most expensive ever on Broadway — has been plagued by technical glitches, money woes and three other injuries, including a concussion and two broken wrists.
"They're eagerly awaiting his return," the actor's father said from his home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. "He just felt so blessed to be part of this whole creative process, and he just cannot wait to get back and perform in the show."
Tim Tierney said he believes his son will regain close to full mobility after recovering from a roster of injuries that included a hairline skull fracture, four broken ribs, a bruised lung, internal bleeding and cracks in three lumbar vertebrae.
Christopher Tierney will remain in the intensive care unit until at least Monday, then stay in New York City for rehabilitation.
As for when a return to the show might be possible, Tim Tierney said he was more positive than his son's doctors, who did not give a specific time frame for recovery.
"Doctors — they're always pessimistic," he said, adding that the pins and rods his son now has in his lower back will come out after he heals.
The actor's plunge from a ledge into a stage pit, despite a safety harness that should have prevented the spill, was not caused by equipment failure, Tim Tierney said, without elaborating. State Department of Labor officials have said the cause is still under investigation, and the Actors' Equity Association union has said the fall was caused by human error.
The much-anticipated production, teaming "Lion King" creator Taymor with U2 songwriters Bono and The Edge, has had a bumpy ride to Broadway. It has been in previews for a month, and its official Broadway opening has twice been postponed. It is now set for early February.
"Spider-Man" had to cancel two preview performances after the actor's fall, then reopened Thursday with the blessing of the State Department of Labor after instituting what agency spokesman Leo Rosales has called a new set of "very strict safety and security measures."
The production had a scheduled night off Friday but is set to return to the stage Christmas night.

Soft Drinks … Worth the Calories?
The American Heart Association has issued a recommendation for Americans to decrease their intake of added sugars. Sugar-sweetened beverages such as soft drinks, lemonade, and fruit drinks are the chief source of added sugars. In fact, soft drinks account for more than one-fourth of Americans beverage consumption and are the single largest source of refined sugars in the American diet. Children start drinking soft drinks at a surprisingly young age, and consumption increases through young adulthood. The potential link between soft drink consumption and obesity has spurred the development of action plans to limit students' intake of carbonated beverages. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that soft drinks be eliminated from all schools, particularly elementary schools.
Some school districts prohibit the sale of carbonated drinks during school hours.
In response to parents' rebellions, some school districts have discontinued their contracts with soft drink companies. However, it is a difficult decision for schools due to the loss of funding from sales and from exclusive contracts with the companies.
A pilot program in a large inner-city San Diego school limited soft drinks to 20% of beverage vending machine slots and offered healthier options in the other slots, with all beverages selling for $1.00. Results showed that sale of water, milk, fruit juice, smoothies, and sport drinks increased to 88% of all beverages, while soft drink sales dropped to 12%.
Other schools are initiating nutrition education programs to discourage the consumption of soft drinks. A study in England found that a one-year Ditch the Fizz campaign, discouraging both sweetened and diet soft drinks, led to a decrease in the percentage of elementary school children who were overweight or obese. The improvement occurred after a modest reduction in consumption, less than a can a day. This was the first controlled study to document that school programs discouraging carbonated drinks appear to be effective in reducing obesity among children. If a simple targeted message aimed at kids can decrease development of obesity, by whatever means, that's groundbreaking, said Dr. David Ludwig of Children's Hospital in Boston. Hopefully, larger studies with more intensive interventions will show even more beneficial effects.
REMEMBER: Soft drinks provide empty calories and about 10 teaspoons of sugar in every 12-ounce can. Also, soft drinks often replace more nutritious foods and beverages. So the next time you are standing in front of a vending machine … make a wise choice and avoid the soft drinks!

As Israelis hold their breath Israeli Politicians Try to Put Together a Coalition
Monthly Report: March 2009Adar - Nissan 5768
Tsipi Livni and Bibi Netanyahu vie for the chance to be Prime Minister
By Shira Sorko-Ram
"It's not unreasonable at the end of an election campaign, when the polling stations close and three television stations in Israel release highly sophisticated exit polls, to expect that you will know definitely who has won. "That modest hope was denied the Israeli electorate on Tuesday night, [February 10]."
So began a mournful analysis of the nation's elections by editor David Horovitz of the Jerusalem Post as he bemoaned the reality of what virtually everybody agrees: Israel's government system is absolutely, incurably, intolerably dysfunctional. (12Feb09)
For the last 25 years, Israel has muddled through a series of prime ministers who rise and fall every couple of years. The coalitions - needing 61 seats out of parliament's 120 - are so wobbly, so untenable, that any prime minister who finally puts together a coalition must continually spend an inordinate amount of time just trying to stay afloat rather than governing the nation.
Long-term critical needs such as an adequate water supply for the nation or a national railway infrastructure simply go unattended. Often cabinet ministers play musical chairs; systematic planning and strategizing of long-term goals is non-existent.
Imagine! We now have 12 different parties in the current Knesset. (Another 18 failed to get enough votes to make the threshold.)
Of course the Knesset could change the laws of this dysfunctional coalition-type government. But until now, the ultra-Orthodox parties, afraid they might lose seats, have always blocked all parliamentary attempts. Accordingly the crippled lawmakers continue their pitiful attempt to govern the nation.
So - to the current situation. Coalition negotiations could go on for another four to six weeks. What possible combinations for a new coalition do we have at the time of this writing?
If a potential prime minister succeeds in putting together a minimum coalition of 61 Knesset seats, his government would still be unable to sustain itself for long with this borderline number - the reason being that any party within the coalition could demand the moon - on threat of pulling out of the coalition - which would cause the government to instantly fall.
Therefore, a candidate for prime minister wants in his coalition a couple of extra parties over the 61 seat minimum. Theoretically (but not always true) the larger the coalition, the more stable the government.
In past elections, the party that won the most Knesset seats was always given the opportunity to form the next coalition as prime minister. Now, here comes the joker. In the February 10 elections, the centrist Kadima party won the most seats, but the Likud rightist party has a larger block of rightist parties than the Kadima center/leftist block.
*Before reading further, you might want to glance at the description of the top five parties in the next article.
Even though Tsipi Livni gained one more seat than Bibi Netanyahu, because of his larger rightist block, he will almost certainly be asked by Israel's president to form the new government.
According to the opinion of most commentators, the dream team in the present case would be for the three most moderate parties to form a coalition:
Kadima 28Likud 27Labor 13 Total: 68 Knesset Seats
Or, instead of Labor, possibly
Israel Beiteinu 15 Total: 70 Knesset Seats
In our opinion Bibi Netanyahu could make the best prime minister and control the financial ministry.
Tsipi Livni would probably be the best person for foreign affairs because of her extensive experience under former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and the many foreign leaders with whom she is acquainted.
Ehud Barak of the leftist Labor party would make a good defense minister, the position he held under the last administration. He certainly has the most experience as a military man, and having directed the recent war against Hamas, did the best possible job in Gaza, given the few days he had to minimize Hamas' power (because of the UN and world pressure on Israel to cease attacking Hamas). But right now Barak says he wants to remain in the opposition so that his party can build up its power base in order to win in the next election!
In other words, in this case, Israel's politicians could swiftly bring about a stable government even under this unwieldy structure were it not for the immense egos of the political leaders of these parties.
If Tsipi Livni will not join Bibi Netanyahu in a unity government, then Bibi has only the possibility of a narrow rightist block with powerful ultra-Orthodox partners - who will be easy enough to please as long as they get money and "keep the status quo," meaning control of who can marry whom, who can receive citizenship, and who can convert to Judaism, and under what circumstances. They have used their power, often illegally, to keep many Messianic Jews from immigrating to Israel. Only after intense legal suits in the Supreme Court against the ultra-Orthodox, have some Messianic Jews won their citizenship.
But that brings to the fore another difficulty for Bibi Netanyahu and his Likud party. The fourth largest party, Israel Beitenu (Israel our House), and its leader Avigdor Lieberman won many of his 15 seats through the votes of Russian immigrants who want to end the stifling control of the ultra-Orthodox over their civil rights. In short, it would be difficult for Lieberman and Shas and the other religious parties to serve in the same coalition.
Furthermore, Netanyahu could not be excited about facing the world with an extremely narrow rightist block perceived both in Israel and abroad as inflexible and obstinate as regards to progress with the Palestinians. This type of coalition would probably not last long.
We, of course, cannot leave out the three Arab parties who garnered 11 seats, although they cannot be depended upon to be coalition partners with any Jewish party. When it suits them they can vote for or against or abstain on an issue, but no ruling government would want to count on them for support.
Since Israeli governments fall with ease and are formed with enormous difficulty, the best thing to come out of this fiasco so far is the pubic campaign gaining momentum to call for a long overdue reform of the defunct electoral system.
The Israel Democracy Institute, a nonpartisan group, is gaining traction calling for electing individual Knesset members who represent regions, instead of voting for national parties.
Of course, while the players play the game, the world around us doesn't stop at all.
1. Hamas continues to dig tunnels.
2. Hizbullah continues to arm for the next round.
3. The U.N. continues to blame Israel for the violence in Gaza, and is looking for real ways to punish Israel, such as through devastating sanctions.
4. Teheran continues to build nuclear bombs.
5. Mahmoud Abbas, the "moderate" head of Fatah in the West Bank, on whom all the hopes of the world rest to make peace with Israel, is diligently working to have the International Court of Justice in The Hague indict Israel for war crimes over its war against Hamas.
Truly, Israel does not have the luxury of squandering precious time on coalition bargaining.
On all fronts we need leadership of the highest caliber. It is clear, says the press, that the two top winners need to join forces in a national unity government. And, they are quick to point out, if Avigdor Lieberman of Israel Beitenu will assure civil rights and equality for all Israel's citizens, including Arabs, he could play a very valuable role in the new government.
As a Messianic Jewish believer, I firmly believe that the most important need for Israel today - from God's point of view - is to have a government that will give to its population freedom of religion and freedom to preach the Good News to all Israel. A government that will give us rights on radio, television and all the media to acquaint our people with what the Bible really says.
God has promised that His people will return to their own Land - specifically the area that the Muslim populations are claiming as their own.
God has promised in His written word that His people will return to their own God - specifically through the atonement made by Yeshua, King of the Jews.
Israel will not receive her physical inheritance without her spiritual inheritance. But when Israel turns back to the God of Israel and His Messiah Yeshua, the Lord of all the earth will give back the land that He promised 4,000 years ago to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
He will cause it to happen - but not until his people repent and return to Him.
Let us pray for help from the Guardian of Israel that He will come to our aid in this critical hour.
Back to Top
The Top Five Players
Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu, Likud: Won 27 seats. Knows that his greatest challenge as prime minister would be preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Is willing to have a Palestinian state, but promises to maintain a united Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley and Judean Desert.
Advocates a free, competitive economy with social awareness. Did an amazing job as finance minister, 2003-2005, achieving an astounding 5.7% economic growth.
Tsipi Livni, Kadima party: Won 28 seats. Central/Left. Has been serving as foreign minister under Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Favors forming an international and regional alliance to handle the Iranian threat. Favors toppling Hamas via diplomatic and militarymeans.
Will continue negotiations with Palestinians in an effort to create two states for two peoples, while maintaining areas needed for security, religious sites and as many settlers as possible.
She is, of all candidates, considered to be the cleanest in a climate of rampant corruption.
Ehud Barak, Labor party: Won 13 seats. Although not considered a good prime minister, he is held in high regard as a military leader. If his party joins a coalition he would be a natural candidate for defense minister. Is more socialistic in his economic outlook.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, spiritual leader, Shas party: Won 11 seats. Ultra-Orthodox, Sephardic (Jews originally from Middle Eastern countries). Rightist, notwithstanding the most important issue for Shas is gaining stipends for its large families (welfare), of which the majority are nonworking.
Since only 28% of ultra-Orthodox men work, and as the religious families are growing at twice the rate of non-religious Israelis, the burden to the average working Israeli will soon become unbearable.
Would not be willing to divide Jerusalem. Wants to keep Judea and Samaria (West Bank) but would consider compromise in exchange for heavy funding.
Shas and the other religious parties actively persecute the Messianic Jews and all who believe in Yeshua, and would, if at all possible, prevent the preaching of the Good News to the Israeli people. They, in turn, receive millions of taxpayers' shekels to fund their religious and educational institutions, including their own strong missionary outreaches.
Avigdor Lieberman, Israel Beitenu (Israel Our Home): Won15 seats. Right wing. Will most likely be the kingmaker of the next Israeli prime minister. It is he who will choose to join Bibi Netanyahu's rightist coalition or Tsipi Livni's center/leftist party. Being of Russian background, he wants civil marriages, and easier conversions to Judaism.
Lieberman's most controversial policy is that he wants Arabs to take a loyalty oath to the Jewish state of Israel. In the last few governments, all Arab Knesset Members have called for the destruction of Israel. Lieberman wants to put a stop to that. Advocates a two-state solution if there is real peace. Is for trading heavily-populated Arab sections of Israel for Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Is considered a pragmatist by some, a racist by others.
New Prime Minister's #1 Challenge
There are few things in this world that all Israeli politicians agree on. But there is a consensus across the Israeli political spectrum - virtually without a single dissenting voice. Israel is faced with an Iran that is about to produce a nuclear weapon.
Iran has sent a satellite into space with a missile that has the power to carry a nuclear payloadto Israel - or Europe. Iran and its mullahs have declared they will wipe Israel off the map. America, under George W. Bush did not attack these nuclear sites and there is little or no hope that Barack Obama will do anything except continue the same weak diplomatic sanctions of thelast administration.
The outspoken John Bolton, former U.S. representative to the U.N., told the Jerusalem Post in an interview: "With the end of the Bush administration, the possibility of U.S. use of militaryforce against Iran's nuclear program has dropped essentially to zero."
Bolton believes that American efforts aren't going to make any difference; just from publiclyavailable information from the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran has enough low-enricheduranium which, "if enriched to weaponsgrade levels, would allow it one nuclear weapon now, and possibly another one or two this year."
And then he says what all Israel dreads to hear: "And with no likelihood of American use of force, that leaves Israel." Of course, the military option is a terrifying one for Israel; it would be stretching Israel's air force capacity beyond any limits it has ever known. (Jerusalem Post, 6 Feb 09)
Even if Israel goes it alone - and if it has the technical ability to attack Iran's nuclear sites without U.S. consent, there is still no proof that Israel could succeed in taking out Iran's nuclear-related facilities. At best, Israel could perhaps delay Iran's bomb-building capacity for two, three or five years, cautioned Bolton.
The ancient Persian Empire whose ruler Cyrus once helped rebuild the Temple of God, has nowrisen anew to become her implacable enemy. Just as Hitler clearly laid out his plan to destroy the Jewish people, so now are the rulers of Iran.
How many years could Israel continue to exist without being attacked by a nuclear-armed Iran?This, then, in my opinion, is one of the strongest signs that the Lord's coming is not too far away. For numerous Biblical prophecies have foretold that Israel will in the end turn to God and be a light to the nations. And she has to exist in order to do that!

If you don't remember anything else...THE BOTTOM LINE
1. As Israelis see it: The Americans and the Israelis want a Palestinian state more than the Palestinians. The Palestinians simply want to replace Israel. Because the Palestinians have not been able to rise above the political culture of hate for Jews and the Jewish state that has dominated their existence for a century, progress for a Palestinian state is stalemated.
2. Some 750,000-800,000 Arabs fled Israel during the War of Independence. The Palestinians are demanding their return to Israel proper, along with all their descendants - a few million. The Arabs have never offered to repay the 850,000 Jews who during that same time fled for their lives from Arab countries. Most Jewish refugees were forced by Arab governments to leave all theirpossessions behind.
3. Israel's dilemma as her leaders and as much of the populace see it, is that Israel as a democratic country does not want to rule over three and a half million disenfranchised Arabs on the one hand, and as a Jewish country, does not want to make them voting citizens who would very soon vote in an Arabled government, thus ending the existence of Israel as a Jewish state.
4. World media acts as if the peace process is completely dependent on Israel. All Israelis crave peace. All major parties would, as Netanyahu said, "be delighted to find a formula that allows Palestinians to govern themselves and Israel to live in security." The media does not report that Israel accepted and the Arabs totally rejected the U.N.'s 1947 Partition Plan of two nations side by side. From that time on, the Arabs have fought against the existence of the Jewish state.
5. All major parties (not including ultra-Orthodox) are ready to accept a two-state partition - one for a Jewish state and one for a Palestinian state - if they are assured the Palestinians will live in peace with them. Parties such as Kadima and Labor are ready to give part of Arab-settled areas of Jerusalem to the Palestinian state. Others, such as Likud and Israel Beitenu and Shas stand for an undivided Jerusalem.
6. Remember the current situation that has made building a coalition so difficult. Both Netanyahu and Livni are claiming they should be the prime minister. Livni won the most seats but Netanyahu has the largest block of parties to the right.
7. As Israeli believers in Yeshua the Messiah, the freedom and the right to reach out to our own people with the Good News preempts every other consideration, barring none. Our prayers must be, Lord, in Your Mercy, help our leaders to put together a coalition that will insure civil rights and religious freedom for each individual in this land dominated by utocraticreligiosity.

European Christians stand upagainst growing Anti-Semitisim
European Coalition for Israel Chairman Helmut Specht called on the European Union to raise their voices in protest against the current Iranian threat to wipe Israel off the map. The appeal came at the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day event which is organized in the European Parliament by the ECI under the patronage of the president of the European Parliament Hans-Gert Pöttering.
The event in Brussels was part of a pan-European campaign to raise awareness of the Holocaust in churches and faith communities in Europe. When offered the chance to save fleeing Jews from Nazi-Germany and Austria in 1938 the nations of the world said simply no.
At the event, Christian clergy from the Roman-Catholic and the Protestant side acknowledged the sins of the past about not reacting in time.
Head deacon of the Roman-Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna, Johannes Fichtenbauer, brought a message from the Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn where he said that "Holocaust was only possible because the church did not understand its Jewish roots... Churchunity can only be established when we understand and appreciate these Jewish roots."
In closing, Fichtenbauer quoted Cardinal Schönborn by saying that "we sinners of the past are called to become the allies of the future and stand faithfully by our Jewish friends."
Growing up with YESHUA in Israel
A couple of days ago I dreamed that I was dead and I had gone up to heaven. Then I saw God and He began to ask me questions.
He asked me to tell Him if I was reading the Bible, and to tell Him what I did in my life. I answered His questions and then He opened the gates into heaven for me.
I also saw my sister Stav. I dreamed that God also asked Stav questions about her reading the Bible and what she did in her life. She answered Him and He opened the gates into heaven for her too.
Then from the gates I saw a huge light. I can't exactly describe them but I saw angels with golden light and with wings.
Elior, age 11
Elior When I was a little boy I wouldn't listen to my parents and I was always getting into trouble. But I always thought about God. As I grew a bit - to age seven, my mother began to teach me about the way of Yeshua. I started to read the Bible and that was really interesting. I started growing in faith. Then our family began praying together. Today I have a lot of friends at the congregation - we play together. Yeshua is more important to me than anyone else!
Olga Our son used to watch a lot of violent or scary movies on TV - like all the kids. But Eliorbegan to see that when he watched something bad on television, or he would play violent video games he would have terrible nightmares. When he watched the wrong thing or something bad happened at school, he would wake up in the night and see evil shapes and figures moving around him.
About that time, I committed my life to the Lord and began to pray with Elior concerning the ongoing nightmares. We would pray together, and little by little, even he began to know the difference between right and wrong and realize what was causing his nightmares.
Ronen I had a hard heart, but I began attending Tiferet Yeshua Congregation with my wife and children. I loved my wife but I know I was not a good husband. At the congregation I found people were different than many of my friends and neighbors. These people had a lot of love - and were not looking for what was bad in others, not judging others. Now I have a changed heart because God changed me.
I am not allowing my children to partake of everything in the world around us. Elior, at 11 is invited to birthday parties that take place in night clubs and the kids don't get home until 11:00 or 11:30p.m. We are not part of that scene.
Olga Some five or six months ago, our congregation prayed for Elior and the nightmares became less and less. And then a couple of days ago he had this dream. He woke up so happy as he described to me what he saw. That day he came home after school and said he had decided to throw away all of his violent play station games.
Although Elior has found school pretty boring, he has discovered something that he absolutely loves - to play the piano. His teacher (whom Elior loves!) says that he will be a great pianist. Also Stav is playing the flute. I'm her mother, but I have to say she sounds like she was born for this instrument. We are so thankful that our children are able to study music - our whole familyknows they will be playing for Yeshua!
Through Maoz partners' help, Congregation Tiferet Yeshua has begun a program to give the children of the congregation an opportunity to learn a musical instrument or to take voice lessons.
The vision is to raise up a new generation of worshipers and praisers to lead our people into the presence of God.
From Left: Olga, Elior, Ronen, Stav
Few children among believers are able to afford such lessons, so Maoz underwrites 90% and the parents 10%.
We are already working on putting together a children's band!
New Testament Recording in Hebrew
We are now ready to produce these New Testament audio CDs for distribution. Each set of 18 CDs plus packaging will cost us $13.00. The money from sales will go toward producing more audio New Testaments. But we need help to get the first 1000 produced at a cost of $13,000.
We invite you to help us produce these audio New Testaments.
Each $13.00 (£9.00; €10.00) produces one set. You can partner with us to get the precious gift of the audio New Testament into the hands of the Israeli people.
The Gospel of Matthew
Giving Life through the Book of Life
The book of Matthew is a wonderful way to introduce an Israeli to the Good News. Matthew starts with the genealogy of Yeshua, showing that He is from the line of King David often a big shock to Israelis who know little about Yeshua whom many only identify as the "founder of a gentile religion."
Yeshua gave his life for the nations, but as King of the Jews He longs to see His own people come to Him!
We want to distribute 10,000 sets of the audio Gospel of Matthew (on 2 CDs) with an attractive cover to interested Israelis. Each set will cost us $1.20 (£ 0.80; €0.90).
Will you invest in giving Israelis the chance to hear the Gospel of Matthew? (10 sets $12.00, 100 sets $120.00 etc.)
What a great opportunity!
March 2009
Dear Maoz Partner,
As of this writing, nobody in Israel has a clue who will be the next Prime Minister.
Well, it will almost for sure be Bibi Netanyahu. But if he has to form a narrow coalition of ultra-Orthodox parties plus the controversial Lieberman party, it will be a very unpopular administration with the rest of the world - which would see it as a rigid, uncompromising government.
As Israel's enemies close in around her, there is no doubt that many Israelis, from professors to the simplest man on the street, are wondering what in the world is going to happen to this tiny nation.
It is difficult to imagine how an Israeli living in Israel who does not believe in God and does not know about His promises to Abraham and his descendants, can live a normal life.
Think of the difference of how we live our lives -with the knowledge that God will not let this land be destroyed. With the knowledge that He is determined to bring this whole nation back toHimself.
And now the action point! We as believers have been entrusted to share the Good News of the Bible with the people of Israel so that whosoever will, can be saved.
One of the ways we at Maoz are doing this is to concentrate on building a strong congregation in Tel Aviv.
We are concentrating on building up a group of leaders for the new generation, while not forgetting the little children who within a decade will be able to impact their generation - if not already!
We are using all the modern means that God has put into our hands - enabling our congregants to reach so many more people than ever before - like getting the New Testament on CD with musical score out to friends, families, neighbors and business associates.
We are translating and publishing books to build up the Body of Messiah nationally - as quickly as we have the funds to do so.
And we are not forgetting the needy among our numbers. As did the disciples in the Book of Acts, Maoz, through its supporters, is helping many believers who have real immediate needs of food and shelter, or who are suffering persecution at the hands of the ultra-Orthodox.
But we are not satisfied simply to "give them a fish." Istandwithisrael.com is helping many believers learn vocations and professions by providing scholarships to all kinds of educational institutions.
This month we especially want to get the New Testament produced on CD, and for special outreach, 10,000 CD copies of Matthew.
Every New Testament set on CD will cost $13.00. Every Book of Matthew, $1.20.
We still need $9,886 to produce the New Testament and $7,248 for the Book of Matthew. Because the price is much lower when we produce a large quantity, we can place the order only when we have the full amount.
Everybody is telling our politicians there is no time to lose in long drawn-out coalition negotiations.
How much more can we say we do not have time to lose to get the message of the King of the Jews to a nation looking, longing for a real Prince of Peace.
The verse, "Work for the night is coming," means more to us than ever before!
You, together with us, hold the answer in our hearts.
May the blessings of the Lord be with you,
Ari & Shira Sorko-Ram

The great thing about the internet is that you can always find someone to disagree with the most self-evident things. It is an enduring mystery.
1+1 is not equal to 2
And I guess if I can't come up with a counter-argument, your assertion is proved correct.
The unreasonable burden of proof
So, some guy came up with a bunch of cases where apparently language choice makes no difference. If I can summarise his cases, I think they were
- interaction with [poorly designed] legacy systems
- algorithmic research
- limited platforms such as embedded systems, GPUs, parallel computing
And going back to the point I was trying to make
- for a given problem, some languages will be better than others
- libraries are (almost always) more important than languages, but selecting the language will determine the libraries
Legacy Systems
I've glued together plenty of legacy systems in my time. Some were written in Cobol, some were Pascal auto-translated into C, some were, shudder "modern" C++. I've gotta tell ya, I was seriously pleased to have libraries available.
Back in the day we were doing it with CORBA. These days I might hack something RESTful up with HTTP/ Twiggy. Or I could pass data around via the file system, or a database.
Anyway, this is stuff that is unlikely to be built in to the language. It is going to come as a library right? But for sure, if I pick a language that can interact with the file system, the database or sockets I'm going to have an easier job than if I don't.
Brand New Micro-Processors
Does this even happen these days? I thought everything was a variant of Intel or ARM.
If I understand correctly, the argument is that if there is only a single choice of language (because, for example, it is a new micro-processor without a C compiler yet), then language doesn't make a difference.
You know, I can't agree with that. I can think of two possibilities.
Option 1.
Assembler (or assembly, whatever), is the best language for that microprocessor. Because otherwise I have to first implement the other language in assembly.
Option 2
Another language, let's say C, is better than assemblyer. So first of all I implement C in assembler.
But wait a minute. Then I've admitted that one language is better than another.
Embedded Systems
And as for embedded. Why does everyone with a moderately complex embedded system start with Linux? Is it a) because Linux provides loads of libraries that are great for implementing embedded systems, or b) there is no b.
Algorithmic Research
I don't have much experience in this area, but given the obvious flaws in the rest of the guy's argument, I have no doubt that a few well chosen libraries can be very helpful. After all, in traditional sciences, progress is made by standing on the shoulders of giants. Why should it not be the same in computer science?
Yes, much of that work is now available in just about any decent language, but I think my point is plain.
No, no it isn't plain. Sorry. What are you talking about? If languages now implement much of that work that shows that libraries help no?
Linking To Supporting Research
At the risk of making the same mistake, I can't believe you (Jared) linked to that function point analysis as support. I don't think much of the technique to begin with and that was a great example of why no one should. They included HTML (Why not include photoshop while you're at it?) and SQL Forms beat everything else by nearly a factor of 2. Ugh.
I often see articles that begin with a line such as Numerous studies have shown that… and then strangely, the article doesn't link to a single study. Kinda like the original article that I was refuting.
I linked to a study (I also saw a similar table in one of McConnell's books) and you think that weakens my argument? So let's see what their methodology was…
Where does the data come from? The gearing factors in this table were drawn from 2786 completed function point projects in the QSM database. As mixed-language projects are not a reliable source of gearing factors, only single-language projects are used. As an additional resource, the David Consulting Group has graciously allowed QSM to include their data.
Okay, that seems at least somewhat rigorous. But a handwavy "but but, HTML, SQL Forms" has convinced me they don't know what they are talking about. Thanks.
I don't know why they included HTML, or why SQL Forms is so good (I haven't used it), but in specialised areas, I can easily believe a language (+ its libraries) can beat others by a factor of 2.

Are you tired of listening to the same BULL ****, and services that do not have a plan if the market goes down instead? Hedge means to take risk off the table, and my service has all producers 100% hedged and they do have most of the upside unhedged (if we can rally for whatever reason).

For 2/12/13:
Grains: I am sure it is comforting to unhedged producers to listen to the services telling you all the reasons why corn should not be going down. Bulls thinking that betting on US crops will remain dry, and get another unfavorable year one way or the other, is not working the way they had thought. I laugh when I see someone bet more than a "what if" or "long shot bet" which is a very small amount, and cry when I think about a farmer who is betting his "paycheck" on it. Yes, they are betting whatever is unhedged. My producers hedge already reflects what part of the upside they want unhedged, and what protection they feel is needed, and with that foundation they only risk a "part of their income" not all of it. When using options the way they are, everything slows down which allows less emotion and much more control.
Bottom Line: The fundamentalists are making "wagers" based on fundamentals as seen through THEIR eyes, I make bets based on the charts that not only I, but everyone can see. I know when I am wrong, it's because the chart level or daily number did not hold and I am more than willing to take a loss and get stopped out even if I get stopped on the high or low of the day, no problem! But when do they know they are wrong? How much do they risk before that idea is no longer valid? Nothing really changed fundamentally since the January Final report, but corn and soybeans rallied to their resistances that were clearly drawn well in advance, and the last 5 days spit it out and more. How much higher where they willing to sell, and how much are they losing in that pursuit? Nothing changed except their wallet. So when do they get out? Oh, they tell you if the market goes below "here" on the chart, then sell because their idea is no longer valid. Does that make sense, the fundamentals are still valid but they use a chart to "throw in the towel", sounds like they are trading a chart, NOT the fundamentals. They think the chart should do what they perceive the fundamentals equate in price, and I think the chart (which is a record keeper of the market) will do whatever it wants REGARDLESS of the fundamentals. Ask a floor trader if he is trading fundamentals or price on ANY given day. No matter how they get price levels they want to buy or sell, it is technically driven, not reading fundamentals to everyone standing in the pit. I am a floor trader (even trading on a screen, even position trading, I have the same mentality and approach), and charts are the only thing I rely on to get my numbers, get objectives, and where to place my stops.
Today's 2013 US corn yield forecast of 163.5 BPA, and soybeans at 44.4 BPA compare with 2/12 Forum yield forecasts of 164 BPA/43.6 BPA respectively. Planted area forecasts of 96 million acres (MA) of corn, and 76 MA of soybeans which are well under trade estimates of 97.8-99 MA for corn and 78.5-79.5 MA for soybeans. Of course these are guesstimates, but are based on recent and past historical data. It is the "ballpark" we are playing in.
There are many parameters in the baseline projections here in the US and worldwide, but I am not concerned with that at this time. What I do make note of is that the USDA projects prices for major crops are declining, but should be supported well below our current levels. To me this means there is no support in sight.
USDA said their 2013 US corn yield forecast of 164 BPA is a 25 year trend including 1988 and 2012 droughts. Their yield forecast assumes that 80% of corn is planted by mid May, that June is not extremely dry and that average weather occurs during July. USDA also said US corn yields over next decade will advance 1.9 BPA per year to 181 BPA. End of marketing year corn stocks peak 9/2015 at 2.32 billion bushels making farm corn prices slide back down to $4.10. On farm corn prices over next decade range from $4.30 to $5.40 with 2013/14 corn price representing high water mark at $5.40.
USDA sees tight US soy stocks over the next decade with carryover stocks ranging from 185 million bushels (MB) on 9/2014 to 226 MB on 9/2023. US soybean acres over the 10 years remain pretty much unchanged while the US soybean yield advances 2 BPA over the next decade or 0.2 BPA per year. On farm soybean prices ($14.30 for 12/13) decline $3 in 2013/14 and then range from $10.35-$11.35 over the next decade.
I had a couple of producers look at and we priced 2014 corn, you can use the same strategy for 2014 as now, but you must be able to margin it as well as the current old and new crop. I have no problem doing just that. If you wait for weather to carry the prices higher than they are now, hedge this summer when you get the rally, but remember, like December 2013 corn, its high in 2012 was only $6.65 while the old crop got to $8.49. As a trader (or any businessperson) all that matters is profits/income and the ability to lock it in before production gets started. It does not matter if the price will be higher or lower when the production is finished, they are not gamblers, they are manufactures who locks in profits and then do the work. Yes, they can make more or less profits depending on if expenses go up or down, or productivity, but the "meat and potatoes" of their income is locked in by their "sale or hedge". The above parameters the USDA is giving us, is what the pendulum will use as it swings with force sharply higher with crop problems, and sharply lower as a reward to an above average trend yield year.
2013 crops have a lot of ground to cover between now and the summer, and it could grind higher and lower with weather perceptions. I would take any rally as an opportunity to add protection below what we currently have. New subscribers who are unhedged producers should ... Subscribe Now! You can adjust the strikes to reflect YOUR thoughts and ideas of how much hedge protection you want, and what kind of upside you want too. Your margin is "known" no matter how high the market rallies, and you know where your protection begins and ends.
March corn has closed lower 7 days in a row, and after the first 2 days of buying December corn to sell the March corn, it has come down 5 days in a row. I talked about this prior to it happening, and that is why I said December looked strong. The sellers in December corn drew the line in the sand at $5.95, and with March going down the sellers there were embolden. "Things do what they do until they do not do it anymore" and so grains will continue lower until they do not. After the string of lower closes, the market is vulnerable to a short covering rally, but with the baseline news out, it will grind higher at best. Volatility is getting hit, meaning they are paying less for the right to be long or short. I am concerned that we will not rally from here, and that protection could run out before the March options expire in a week from this Friday. It looks like to me we will be here or lower on options expiration, which means great profits were made in the last 3 months, and we will get the chance to be long the May options at lower levels to protect and rally from. Every year we have seen these opportunities in 1 or more of the option rolls. Producers have made windfall profits after learning how to participate in the market, sell calls when in the bin, roll up and down puts, and the best part is that THEY are in control! They took the "trader" in me to help the "producer" in them. Any rally at a resistance level should be sold! I continue to prefer to sell rallies instead of buying breaks, but have no trouble buying to cover "shorts". I never lost money taking a profit. Same ideas goes for the December contract too.
The trouble for this last rally was the "funds" and speculators who "pressed" their bets at strong resistance levels for both corn and soybeans, increasing their bets with huge increases shown in the CFTC COT report. I have said I like them because they really know how to swing the pendulum, and that presents opportunities to those who know how to wait for them.
Soybeans and corn need a day or two to hold, and when that happens the chart will have current lows to work with as new lows for the "run", or showing support for older chart supports. I realize the markets are extremely oversold now, but they are still vulnerable to further long liquidation, as well as "scared" farmer selling. They should be scared if unhedged, and above $5.50 December corn should work well for most. Waiting and betting on prices to increase should not be the role of a farmer, securing some income through a hedge and betting some of that income on the "what if" is a more logical common sense approach.
I want to trade the numbers without bias today and risk $.04 in corn and $.06 in soybeans using a stop to protect any idea.
Grains: Look at the report and see inventories were a little bearish for corn, and friendly for soybeans com-pared to expectations. World inventories were bearish, SA production was bearish.

Soybeans 83.5 82.7 81.0-84.0 82.5 66.5
Bottom line: the report did not justify further advance above the soybean resistance levels, and with the sharp drop in price means the market had already "baked" in too much bullish sentiment. Corn on the other hand on Thursday had already settled $.35 off the high last week and $.33 off the 2013 low made in January, so since the report was a little bearish, the market settled slightly lower. Heavy volume and 100,000 corn spreads were traded on Friday, so whatever anyone thinks about the report, I think it has already been factored into the closing prices. My comments going into the report said "With that being said, you have the same odds as I do to predict if the gap at $15.03 3/4 in March soybeans will hold the market from going higher, or if the gap at $7.08 3/4 will hold March corn from going lower. You know that I do not "cheerlead" the market through support or resistances, so I look at them as holding until they do not".
My producers have seen this movie now many times per year, and are learning more and more through real time hedges and observation. I am sure all my producers did not have stress going into this report except for knowing the need to buy more 2013 protection if the market breaks down. If they have stress, then what do you call unhedged producers who do not have $.48 in their pocket like we do, and have the same risk as we do now where our protection ran out. I know you have a plan to control risk, make sure you EXECUTE YOUR PLAN!
Corn took 4 weeks to rally, and 4 days to give it all back. This is typical for many a grain rally in the last 37 years I have witnessed, and one reason any grain floor trader prefers the "sell side" when possible. It's like the "Roach Motel" they "check in" one at a time easily, but they "cannot checkout", and when they try they find it difficult because they "all want to get out at once".
My service is focused into protecting hedges because the charts are breaking down in the 2013 contracts. November soybeans are approaching the uptrend line and should find support, otherwise the lows in August, November, and January is a short term "triple bottom" at $12.55 1/4 and will be strong support. In June 2012 it got down to $11.40. November soybeans have the same resistances levels as before, with $13.20, $13.40, and the bracket line near $13.60.
December corn stopped $.00 1/4 from my support number but the chart is clearly breaking down. Gap at $5.47 1/2 should be solid support in the near term, $5.10 in the summer, $4.50 or lower by harvest even with a below average yield of 151 BPA (USDA will probably look for 156 to 162 BPA, in 2 weeks they will tell us via the USDA Forum). $5.95 has proved to be solid resistance in the short term, with 2 more key re-sistances within $.14 to $6.08 3/4 keeping the bears in command.

These are "real time" examples of how I use options, and now you can use the result of my decades of trading with the examples given if I had to "hedge" my crop (or if long a futures contract because I thought the market is going higher).

Franken looking into back taxes issue
DFL Senate hopeful Al Franken is dismissing accusations that he is evading paying back taxes as partisan attacks.
State Republican Party Chair Ron Carey has accused Franken of dishonest tax filings. Al Franken's business owes California several thousand dollars in back taxes along with interest and penalties.
Speaking Sunday at a campaign event on renewable energy, Franken said his accountant is investigating whether any mistakes were made, and whether he and his wife owe more taxes.
"Bottom line of this is that Franni and I always paid federal and state income tax on all our income," said Franken. "So we are going through that, we have people working on that as we speak."
Franken said he trusted that his accountant was keeping track of filing his taxes in each state where he lived and worked.
"Believe me, we want to do this as fast as possible but we also want to do it right," Franken said. "I don't want to be giving incomplete answers, I want to be confident that I know everything, and we have to go through all the different income that I earned."
A campaign spokeswoman said she expects to release information about the tax review shortly.
Earlier this year, Franken's business paid nearly $26,000 to the Worker's Compensation Board of New York for failing to pay workers compensation premiums for Franken's employees for a few years.
Franken and fellow DFLer Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer are seeking party endorsement to run against Republican Senator Norm Coleman.

Okay, so Marilyn Monroe doesn't really need an open thread shoutout, since there are more than enough books, movies, television shows, statues, and Vanity Fair articles that honor the famously beautiful and doomed star. But it is her birthday — she would have been 86 today — so here's a clip from my favorite Monroe film, Some Like It Hot. She's so fun to watch.
Have a great night!

Excuses and Stuff
Once again, I've reached the end of yet another year of minimal T-related blogging. It's frustrating because there's so many things I want to talk about and so little time to do it in.
It's not that there's nothing going on - we're busier than ever and we're doing some fascinating things with domino and with other systems.
I've been dying to talk about our three-plus year painful but ambitious domino project but it's just not ready yet. I can't talk about it until it's all humming along smoothly.
The List
So where have we been going with our computing stuff this year?
- Well, there's the ambitious domino project that I mentioned which is aimed at putting together a CRM which doesn't simply use our NAB for lookups, it actually controls the NAB - and according to a bizarre and complex set of business rules. It's happening but our rules are very complex and we're learning a lot about the difference between implementation and test cycles on large compared to small domino installations.
- We've been back-ending some of our domino applications with Cognos. Nothing fancy yet but there's some interesting web work here and a lot of possibilities.
- We've been keeping up with IBM - Our clients are all on Notes 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 and the servers are 8.5, 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 (nothing like a little variety).
- We're still sitting tight on Microsoft Office 2003. I can't see a reason to move to 2007 and so far, I've been able to open everything that has been sent to me - usually using my current version of word but sometimes (amusingly) it turns out that Notes is more capable of reading older and newer word documents than word itself.
- We've managed to resist the call of Windows 7 and are staying put on Windows XP. I know it's unsupported but how good is Microsoft support anyway? We did put a couple of Windows 7 computers out there but we've seen no performance gains and it's getting hard to make a viable business case for the upgrade.
- I've been following Google endlessly - I'm very impressed with their drive and direction. Their sudden backtrack on the Wave project was interesting and it's great to see that they're already starting to reuse the technology as shared spaces. I'm excited about the upcoming Chrome OS too.
- On the browser front, it looks like Google's strategy is paying off. No, they don't actually want to move everyone to Chrome, they just want to lift the browser game. Chrome's my main browser but I also use Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera and if I really have to, Internet Explorer. In particular, I'm using the beta versions of Firefox and Opera.
The current version of Firefox is abysmal and has to be losing them a lot of market share but the upcoming version 4 looks and feels great. Safari has had a massive overhaul too. Chrome is constantly being updated and I'm glad that extensions finally appeared this year. Surprisingly though it's Opera which has seen the biggest improvement in the beta version. Wow. That's going to shake up a few things when it gets released.
- I've been watching the whole ipad and eBook reader thing with great interest and amusement. I haven't got an ipad. I think I'll wait for an android device. In the meantime though, they're revolutionising the user interface. It just needs to make the transition from pleasure to business.
I did get an ebook reader but I went for a cheapie with a colour LCD screen. It doesn't even support DRM. Surprisingly though, that hasn't bothered me. I've got so many books to read that I can't see myself needing to buy anything online during the life of that device. The business possibilities are impressive too. I'm PDF-ing everything and saving it there. I've got meeting documents, the DRP and even my scouting books. I took the device on a scout camp recently and was able to read while the cubs were asleep - and reference various scout materials, maps and game rules during the day. People need to move on from DRM and remember that "just being able to read your own documents without a computer" is sometimes an achievement.
Thanks everyone for reading and for your help throughout 2010.
Have a great Christmas (or alternative end-of-year celebration) and see you next year!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 5, 2013 – The Jacksonville Jaguars today introduced a new brand identity that is inspired in equal parts by the bold vision and promise of a new generation for the club, the passion Jaguars fans have for their team and the exceptional relationship the Jaguars have shared with Jacksonville for the past 18 NFL seasons.
Now entering their 19th NFL season, and second under owner Shad Khan, the Jaguars will immediately march forward with a comprehensive rebranding effort tailored to reflect three distinct and powerful attributes that will describe and guide the Jaguars on and off the field – proud, bold and committed.
"To be a success in business or life, you have to stand for something and hold yourself accountable to the
principles you believe in," Khan said. "The Jacksonville Jaguars will not be casual in this responsibility, which we owe ourselves, our fans and the Jacksonville community.
"From this day, the Jacksonville Jaguars will live a brand mission of being proud, bold and committed in everythingmwe do. Our new logo and campaign theme are the first initiatives of what will be many examples of bringing this philosophy to life. A new era for the Jaguars begins today."
Highlighting the new brand identity is a vibrant redesign of the team's time-honored Jaguar logo that has
adorned the team's helmets since opening NFL play in 1995, as well as a refinement of the Jacksonville Jaguars logotype and the introduction of military-inspired secondary logo. The brand identity will be brought to life in 2013 under the theme "Stand United," which universally speaks to the new era ahead for the team and the rallying spirit of Jaguars fans for nearly two decades.
"The new brand message, logo treatment and campaign theme we are introducing today will be critical components to the ongoing revitalization of the Jaguars franchise," said Jaguars President Mark Lamping. "Change is exciting and it is certainly ahead for all of us.
"But, we were careful to remain faithful to the values that Jaguars fans and the Jacksonville region have
embraced since Day One, and the result is a new look and approach that we feel will make an immediate and lasting impact. We are grateful for the role the NFL played in this process, as no one understands better than the NFL the importance of balancing tradition with an eye to the future."
The new visual identity system is the result of several months of collaboration with the NFL, incorporating specific insight from our fans in 2012 and in recent years.
"It was important to evolve the logo, in collaboration with the Jaguars, in a manner that recognizes the
team's existing brand equity, embraces the organization's strong values, and undeniably reflects the directionof the team and the community of Jacksonville," said Jaime Weston, Vice President Brand and Creative, NFL. "It was a terrific experience for the league to work with an enthusiastic and pioneering franchise like the Jaguars. The new logo will play a major role in the Jaguars' vision and mission to be proud, bold and committed."
Highlights include:**
Jaguars Logo. The refreshed identity stays true to the Jaguars traditional colors of black, teal and gold while offering a fiercer jaguar, amplifying the powerful characteristics of the cat. Using more accurate detailing, the logo is now a closer depiction of a real jaguar.
Taking fan feedback into account, specific design changes include realigning the jaw, adjusting the positioning of the ear and adding white around the mouth and eye to more closely reflect the animal. Additional details that further customize the jaguar design include accents to the eye and nose of the Jaguars' teal, a color unique within the NFL, and the addition of gold to create a more dimensional, realistic feel.
Logotype. The logotype, or word mark, has been slightly updated by removing the trailing lines from the bottom of the word "Jaguars". Additionally, each word is now one solid color following the removal of the outline around each letter. Secondary Mark. The Jaguars will introduce a shield featuring the new Jaguars logo underneath a bold graphic treatment of the nickname "Jags," paying homage to the military roots of Jacksonville and celebrating the fan-inspired Jags nickname.
The rollout of the new logos will be celebrated throughout the 2013 season as part of the team's "Stand
United" theme, which will embody the brand promise of proud, bold and committed in all corners of Jaguars nation. "Stand United" will drive all team marketing, advertising, website, public relations efforts and much more, beginning with renewal information being mailed this week to Jaguars season ticket holders.
"'Stand United' is about the community and the team coming together, and it represents a theme and way of life that anyone who loves the Jaguars and Jacksonville can personally understand and appreciate," Khan said. "'Stand United' has great potential to become a grassroots movement, something our players and fans alike can adopt, activate and celebrate. It's time to make a statement, and it starts with 'Stand United.'''

Give your Camaro the most aggressive setup with a lowering springs with these H&R Super Sport Springs.
Email to a Friend
H&R Super Sport Springs Features
Why Should I Buy Lowering Springs?
Every car from the factory comes with a large gap in between the tire
and the fender. Lowering springs will reduce or eliminate this gap
giving you a custom and flush looking fitment.
Aftermarket springs are commonly used to lower the ride height and to reduce
body roll. This is also often done when upgrading to a larger wheel and tire
package. Generally speaking, the stiffer the spring rates (the amount of
resistance a spring is set for against compression), the softer the sway bar
setting can be set in order to achieve a similarly flat cornering response.
When trying to decide which lowering springs are right for you, your goal should
not be to drop down the car as far as possible. In many cases, overly "slammed"
cars may actually be illegal for road use and terrible performers. The ideal
range of adjustment should be 0.5 to 2 inches using traditional lowering
springs. Any lower, the height of the perch should be adjusted by using a
ride-height adjustable coilover suspension.
Installation for the H&R Sport
Springs is classified as moderate hard. You will need standard tools to
disassemble your suspension, in addition to a spring compressor.
Professional installation is highly recommended for this product.
