The 20-year-old Venice skateboarder whose weekend arrest sparked protests in the city has hired the attorney representing slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin and alleged on Tuesday that he was taunted after being tackled and pinned to the ground by at least four LAPD officers.
On medication for a broken nose and cheekbone, an emotional Ronald Weekley Jr. says he was punched four times during the incident, which occurred on Saturday near Sunset Boulevard and Sixth Street in Venice. Cellphone video of the incident shows one of the officers landing a single punch on Weekley's face.
"The next thing I remember is being in the back of the car asking why me, why did I get stopped?" Weekely said during a news conference Tuesday. "The officer said because I was a 'dumb-a' and that I didn't stop at the stop sign."
U.S. & World
Weekley's lawyer, Benjamin Crump, referenced the proliferation of cameras among the public as key in reporting these kinds of incidents.
"How many times did this happen when there are no cellphone recordings of it?" said Crump, who also represents the family of Travyon Martin, the 17-year-old killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer. The volunteer, George Zimmerman, has pleaded not guilty to a second-degree murder charge, claiming self defense. The case sparked nationwide outrage over alleged racial profiling and Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground Law."
The Xavier University student's altercation with police prompted outrage and bewilderment in the community, where police say spikes in crime and increased traffic to the popular tourist destination have prompted LAPD to step up enforcement. The officers that arrested Weekley were part of a violent crime task force that patrols the area on weekends, police officials said.
LAPD officials say Weekley was riding his skateboard on the wrong side of the road. He was ultimately arrested on suspicion of interfering and for three outstanding misdemeanor warrants.
The names of the officers involved have not been released, and the LAPD has declined to comment on the video. The department on Monday said an internal investigation into the arrest is underway and that if a suspect resists arrest, officers have the right to use force.
"There was a punch to the face and no matter who does that there is a punishment due and we're going to fight until we learn what the punishment is going to be," said Cheyenne Weekley, Ronald's sister.
A crowd witnessed the arrest.
"You could hear the licks," said witness Ernestine Anderson. "They were horrible. I thought they were going to kill him."
Demonstrators on Monday night gathered in Venice to denounce the arrest, which they called police brutality and racial profiling.

At least 1 million networks involving partnerships, trusts, corporations, and similar entities existed in the United States in tax year 2008. These networks can serve a variety of legitimate business purposes. However, transactions made among related entities within networks also can be used in tax evasion schemes to hide taxable income or shift expenses. Such schemessuch as the one described in the text box belowresult in lost tax revenue and are difficult for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify, due to data limitations.
IRS recognizes the risk from network-related tax evasion and is developing new tools and programs to better identify such evasion. These IRS efforts are in various stages of development, but their potential effectiveness in terms of cost savings or added revenue, is not known. However, GAO has identified the need for additional efforts to strengthen enforcement in the networks area and to assess progress.
IRS knows that many questionable tax shelters and abusive transactions rely on the links among commonly owned entities in a network, but it does not have estimates of the associated revenue loss in part because data do not exist on the population of networks. IRS generally addresses network-related tax evasion through its examination (audit) programs. These programs traditionally involve identifying a single return from a single tax year and routing the return to the IRS division that specializes in auditing that type of return. From a single return, examiners may branch out to review other entities if information on the original return appears suspicious. However, this traditional approach does not align well with how network tax evasion schemes work. Such schemes can cross multiple IRS divisions or require time and expertise that IRS may not have allocated at the start of an examination. A case of network tax evasion also may not be evident without looking at multiple tax years.
Network Scheme Example: Installment Sale Bogus Optional Basis Transaction (iBOB)
An iBOB is an example of a network-related tax evasion scheme that shows how networks pose enforcement challenges for IRS. In an iBOB, a taxpayer uses multiple entities, all owned or controlled by the taxpayer, to artificially adjust the basis of an asset to evade capital gains taxes. The scheme can involve multiple transactions and take place over many tax years, making it difficult for IRS to detect. A short video illustrating the iBOB is available at https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-10-968.
IRS is developing programs and tools that more directly address network tax evasion. One, called Global High Wealth Industry, selects certain high-income individuals and examines their network of entities as a whole to look for tax evasion. Another, yK-1, is a computerized visualization tool that shows the links between entities in a network. These efforts show promise. They represent new analytical approaches, have upper-management support, and cut across divisions and database boundaries. However, there are opportunities for more progress. For example, IRS has no agencywide strategy or goals for coordinating its network efforts. A strategy would include assessing of IRS's network tools and determining the value of incorporating more data into its network programs and toolsneither of which IRS has done. Without a strategy and assessments, IRS risks duplicating efforts and managers will not have information about the effectiveness of the new programs and tools that could inform resource allocation decisions.
GAO recommended in its September 2010 report that IRS create an agencywide strategy with goals to coordinate and plan its enforcement efforts on network tax evasion. The strategy should include assessing the effectiveness of network analysis tools to ensure that resources are being devoted to those that provide the largest return on investment; determining whether to increase access to IRS data or collect new data for network analysis; developing network analysis tools on a specific time schedule; and deciding how to manage network efforts across IRS. IRS should ensure that its staff understand the network tools and establish formal ways for users to interact with tool programmers and analysts to ensure that the network tools are easy to use and achieve goals. IRS agreed with GAO's recommendations and said it would make plans to take actions on them but it is too early to determine IRS's progress.
Estimates are not available on the potential for increased tax revenues because IRS has not measured the potential impact of its network efforts on reducing tax noncompliance due to data limitations, but these efforts have significant potential, based on the number of networks that exist.
The information contained in this analysis is based on the related GAO product listed under the "Related GAO Products" tab.

ptsname, ptsname_r - get the name of the slave pseudoterminal
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <stdlib.h> char *ptsname(int fd); #define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <stdlib.h> int ptsname_r(int fd, char *buf, size_t buflen);
The ptsname() function returns the name of the slave pseudoterminal device corresponding to the master referred to by fd. The ptsname_r() function is the reentrant equivalent of ptsname(). It returns the name of the slave pseudoterminal device as a null-terminated string in the buffer pointed to by buf. The buflen argument specifies the number of bytes available in buf.
On success, ptsname() returns a pointer to a string in static storage which will be overwritten by subsequent calls. This pointer must not be freed. On failure, a NULL pointer is returned. On success, ptsname_r() returns 0. On failure, a nonzero value is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
EINVAL (ptsname_r() only) buf is NULL. ENOTTY fd does not refer to a pseudoterminal master device. ERANGE (ptsname_r() only) buf is too small.
ptsname() is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
ptsname() is part of the UNIX 98 pseudoterminal support (see pts(4)). This function is specified in POSIX.1-2001. ptsname_r() is a Linux extension. A version of this function is documented on Tru64 and HP-UX, but on those implementations, -1 is returned on error, with errno set to indicate the error.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – An elite group of junior golfers representing seven states will host their European counterparts in the 8th Junior Ryder Cup, Sept. 24-25, at Olympia Fields (Ill.) Country Club.
The 2012 U.S. team includes reigning Junior PGA Champion Robby Shelton of Wilmer, Ala., who captured boys' title in the 37th Junior PGA Championship presented by Under Armour and Heritage Food Service Group, Aug. 3, at Sycamore Hills Golf Club in Fort Wayne, Ind.
Cameron Champ of Sacramento, Calif., and Samantha Wagner of Windermere, Fla., the respective runners-up in the boys' and girls' divisions of the 2012 Junior PGA Championship, also earned automatic spots.
The United States team, comprised of six boys and six girls who are U.S. citizens and graduating high school in 2013, or younger, will face a European squad of junior golfers in the biennial competition.
PGA Past President Roger Warren of Kiawah Island, S.C., fresh from serving as general chairman of the 94th PGA Championship, will captain the U.S. team.
Warren, the president of Kiawah Island (S.C.) Golf Resort, will guide an American squad that is attempting to capture the Junior Ryder Cup for a third consecutive time.
"I am really excited about the team this year. Their experience and quality of play is tremendous," said Warren, who served as PGA president from 2004-05. "They are all great young players I know they will perform well."
Warren said that he wants to ensure that each junior has both an unforgettable experience and develops relationships with players on both the U.S. and European teams.
"I know that both teams will play hard, and the quality of play from both teams will be at an extremely high level," said Warren. "But we also want to make sure this is a way for them to get to know each other, become friends, and have a great life experience."
Shelton, who claimed the 2012 Junior PGA Championship title by three strokes, said that he was keeping a berth on the Junior Ryder Cup Team in the back of his mind.
"I have never been on a team like this before and just to have a spot on the team is great," said Shelton, 17. "It will be a huge honor and something I will never forget."
Wagner, 15, also is looking forward to competing for her country in September.
"I played well all week at the Junior PGA Championship and put myself in a position to make the team," said Wagner, a 2015 high school graduate, who was making her second appearance in the Junior PGA Championship. "And now I get to play in the Junior Ryder Cup. I am so excited about that opportunity."
Joining the automatic qualifiers from the Junior PGA Championship are Beau Hossler of Mission Viejo, Calif., and Alison Lee of Valencia, Calif., who were first on the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup points list in the boys' and girls' rankings.
Hossler has competed in the last two U.S. Opens, finishing in a tie for 29th in 2012 at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. The 17-year-old finished in a tie for seventh in the 2011 Junior PGA Championship, and tied for 9th in 2012.
Lee, who was a member of the 2010 U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team, finished third in the 2012 Junior PGA Championship and was runner-up in the 2012 U.S. Girls' Junior Championship.
Warren also announced his seven captains' picks, four in the girls' division and three in the boys' division.
Warren's selections in the girls division were: Casie Cathrea of Livermore, Calif., a quarterfinalist in the 2012 U.S. Girls' Championship who finished in a tie for sixth in the 2012 Junior PGA Championship; Karen Chung of Livingston, N.J., the runner-up in the 2008 U.S. Girls' Junior Championship; Casey Danielson of Osceola, Wis., a quarterfinalist in the 2011 U.S. Women's Amateur who finished third in the 2011 Junior PGA Championship; and Esther Lee of Los Alamitos, Calif., who tied for 8th in the 2012 Junior PGA Championship and was a member of the 2011 Junior Solheim Cup Team.
The boys' captain selections were: Gavin Hall of Pittsford, N.Y., the 2011 Junior Players Champion and three-time Junior Boys Amateur Champion, Jim Liu of Smithtown, N.Y., a member of the 2010 U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team who in 2010 became the youngest U.S. Junior Amateur Champion in the events history; and Scottie Scheffler of Dallas, Texas, the 2012 Texas State Boys 4A Champion who finished in a tie for 15th at the 2012 Junior PGA Championship.
Participants in the 2012 Junior Ryder Cup will also play a Friendship Match on Sept. 26, at Medinah (Ill.) Country Club, site of the 39th Ryder Cup.
The match will feature a combined mixed four-ball, with six groupings of four players that includes one girl and one boy from both Europe and the United States. The teams will play a composite course, blending both front-nine and back-nine holes.

Maybe it was the toilet bowl comments.
But the new University of California logo that was unveiled last week - mostly to groans and comments that the "C" nesting in a shield-shaped "U" looked sort of like a toilet bowl - has been scrapped.
That's according to a UC statement released Friday by Daniel Dooley, who said that the monogram had received so much criticism over the past few days that the 10-campus university system decided to "suspend further use of the monogram."
He did add, however, that he thought the "design element" would have won "wide acceptance" over time. But Dooley said that the loud cries - and the length of time it may take to win hearts and minds- just weren't worth it. He did admit that the criticism had been "swift and brutal."
In addition to looking like a toilet, others compared the new logo to a corporate signature. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom - voting member of the UC Board of Regents - simply said "Ugh." One UC Berkeley student simply said last week that it was "weird." More than 54,000 petitioners had signed a document to say, "ick."
Many thought that the image was not a fitting replacement for the stately university seal, Dooley said, even though the university said the old logo and the new were meant to coexist. Dooley said while the university had defended its decision for a few days, leaders have "finally relented."
He said that the controversy had been fueled in large part by an "unfortunate and false narrative," which framed the matter as an "either-or choice between a venerated UC seal and a newly designed monogram."
In fact, Dooley said the graphic element in question was never intended to replace the official seal that still graces diplomas and other appropriate documents. Rather, he said, "it was to provide a graphic cue to distinguish system wide communications materials from those of individual campuses."
Newsom liked the move. He tweeted: "Power of the people! #UC to "suspend further use" of new logo. I applaud UC for listening and pulling logo."
There was no immediate word on how much UC spent on printing the logo on various documents, but Dooley said that the simple logo didn't cost much to design.

Friday night at Allen Arena the Lady Bisons, second in the A-Sun, and Jacksonville, the third place team, met. The Lady Bisons held on to win 3-1 in four sets, winning set one 25-20, losing set two 25-23, winning set three 29-27 and closing out the match with a 27-25 set four win.
"This was a match that we expected to be a dogfight," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "In set two we let it get away from us.
"Going back to the locker room we said we had to make a couple of adjustments. We couldn't give them points and I felt like we did in set two with 11 hitting errors and four service errors."
Sophomore middle blocker Alex Kelly gave her teammates a pep talk during a time out in set four.
"I give a lot of credit to our players," said Rosenthal. "Alex said in the huddle that we didn't come this far and fight this hard just to go out and play a fifth set.
"You look at the speed of our team chasing down balls. You look at the grittiness of our play in the fourth set. I thought we did a phenomenal job towards the end of the match. In the past we just didn't have that. It was great, great win and a total team effort."
Three Lady Bisons finished with double-doubles in kills and digs. Kelly made a match-high 17 kills and added 18 digs. Middle blocker Katie Rose made 12 kills and was credited with 13 digs. Opposite Erin Pierce made 12 kills and added 11 digs along with a .323 hitting percentage.
Middle blocker Amy Trykowski made 11 kills and posted a .318 hitting percentage.
"I thought Amy did a great job at the end," said Rosenthal. "She didn't have a great match but down the end of the match she made some great plays. If you are going to take a great match or great plays at the right time I will take the great plays."
The Lady Bisons held an 82-63 edge in digs. Libero Jessica Turner led the way with 20. Setter Jake Pease added 14.
"Hats off to our players for their phenomenal defense," said Rosenthal. "Jake at the end played great defense. They put some rockets on her and she did a great job. I thought Katie Rose did a great job. Erin was real steady. And Jess Turner did a fantastic job toward the end."
Rosenthal also praised the serving of setter Jenny Brekke and opposite Kaley Mohr.
"There was nobody I would have rather had serving at the end of the match than Jake," said Rosenthal. "Her serves were exactly where we wanted them to be."
Pease made 50 sets, eight more than Jacksonville made as a team.
"When we were struggling she got offensive-minded," said Rosenthal. "She got aggressive with the ball. It took the focus off of some of our other players."
Aldan Yeager made 13 kills and Abby Gruenbacher added 11 for Jacksonville. Shelly Walroth made a match-high 23 digs. Sara Bendorf was credited with 16.
The Lady Bisons are 14-9, 11-2 in the A-Sun. Jacksonville fell to 13-7, 8-4 in the conference.
Saturday afternoon at 3 in Allen Arena the Lady Bisons play North Florida.

Power Amplifier Design with X-Parameter* Power Transistor Models
1 Hour | eSeminar - Gravado | Onde e quando
For many years power amplifier (PA) design was an art mastered by a relatively small number of experts and essentially started and completed on the test bench, maybe after developing an experience-based initial design. Now, the availability of accurate high power nonlinear transistor models in simulation tools has enabled growing numbers of PA designers to get a better starting point before bench prototyping. In the best case, they can consistently achieve optimized PA designs that work with little or no tuning when turned on in the lab for the first time.
At the core of successful simulation-based PA designs, are sufficiently accurate non-linear models for the desired power transistors. Today, both non-linear equivalent circuit based compact models as well as data-based X-parameter models are available as proven building blocks for PA designs. The merits of both types of large signal models will be illustrated in this webcast such as portability across simulators (ADS, Genesys and SystemVue), scalability, simulation speed and convergence.
The basic PA design flows will be explained that use both compact and X-parameter models. Examples will be given in Agilent Genesys and ADS on how to efficiently evaluate them with load-pull techniques and realize optimized PA design matching networks that will help you quickly achieve your PA design goals while minimizing rework and bench tuning.

Justice Department Presents Web Site to Explain Military Rights
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2006 - The Department of Justice has launched a Web site to protect servicemembers' rights, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzalez said yesterday.
Gonzales, speaking to the Disabled American Veterans annual convention in Chicago, said the Justice Department has made it a priority to enforce civil rights laws for American servicemembers.
"The law recognizes that although we can never thank you enough for your service, we can take away some of the worries that soldiers might face when they are deployed," he said in prepared remarks.
The government promises that servicemembers' jobs will still be theirs when they come home and that they cannot be discriminated against by their employers because of their military service. The U.S. vows that servicemembers will be able to vote and that their vote will be counted. And it promises that servicemembers "will have procedural protections in civil actions, like lawsuits or property re-possessions, when serving overseas."
The Justice Department Web site, www.servicemembers.gov, outlines the rights servicemembers have under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
"These basic civil rights are enforced by the Department of Justice, and I can assure you that the department's staff and prosecutors are deeply committed to these enforcement efforts," Gonzales said. "We feel that it is an honor to serve those in uniform in this way. It is our way of saying thank you for your service."
The attorney general said these are not just "pie in the sky" rights, but issues that directly affect people.
In one case, Justice Department officials filed its first complaint alleging that American Airlines violated rights of employees who also serve as military pilots. The case was brought on behalf of three military pilots employed by American Airlines. It states that the airline reduced the employment benefits of pilots who had taken military leave, while not reducing the same benefits for pilots who had taken similar, non-military leave, Gonzales said.
"In another vivid example of the people for whom we enforce these laws, the department recently won a consent decree from an employer who terminated employment of a serviceman named Richard White the very same day that Richard told his boss he was being called to active duty," the attorney general said. "The consent decree requires the employer to pay back wages to Mr. White.
"What leads an employer to treat a soldier like an inconvenience is something for a higher power to judge. But here on earth, we have USERRA, and we'll use it for Richard White and for soldiers like him, as often as is necessary."
Voting is another servicemember right the Justice Department guards. "Earlier this year, ... (the department) addressed long-standing structural issues affecting uniformed military personnel posted both in this country and overseas who wished to vote in North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama," Gonzales said.
These states had run-off elections too close to the primary elections to allow these voters to receive and return ballots. With cooperation from state election officials, the department was able to redress each of these violations. "As the 2006 general election approaches, we will continue vigilant protection of the voting rights of servicemembers, their families and other overseas citizens," he said.
Gonzales also addressed the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. "Thanks to this law, men and women currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan have procedural protections in place that will allow them to be less distracted by litigation back home -- by someone trying to repossess a leased car, evict their spouse and children, sell their house at an auction or run up penalties on credit cards with 21 percent interest rates," he said. "It's hard to respond to a civil lawsuit while you're focused on improvised explosive devices, and the law protects servicemembers for that reason."
Enforcement of this law is a readiness and morale issue, he said. "Men and women in uniform, like all Americans, have to honor their obligations," he said. "However, Congress long ago decided, wisely I think, to provide protections to them against lawsuits while deployed overseas on active duty."
Gonzales urged any servicemember with questions to go to the Justice Department Web site. Military lawyers can help servicemembers and their families navigate through the laws.

New Destiny's Child track online
Destiny's Child have debuted their comeback song Nuclear online to a lukewarm reception.
Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have reunited for the first time since 2005 on Nuclear, which was produced by Neptunes frontman Pharrell Williams. The R&B track has a retro 90s feel.
While fans expressed delight at last week's news that the girlband were reuniting, the majority reaction to the new song on Twitter was from fans who felt underwhelmed and disappointed.
One fan wrote: "A whole new wave of disappointment has washed over me yet again. #DestinysChild #Nuclear :'(" while another said: "#DestinysChild's "new" song has done some good... I've had to listen to their back catalogue to get the taste outta my mouth!"
The girls will perform Nuclear for the first time together at the prestigious American Football Super Bowl half-time show in February.
Beyonce told GQ magazine she had been aiming for an old school feel with her new music.
She said: "I've been working with Pharrell and Timbaland and Justin Timberlake and Dream. We all started in the '90s, when R&B was the most important genre, and we all kind of want that back: the feeling that music gave us."

Impact on SKF's upcoming fourth quarter result 2013
2013 December 20, 08:15 CET
Gothenburg, Sweden, 20 December 2013: SKF informs about impact on SKF's upcoming fourth quarter result 2013.
European Commission investigation
As previously advised, the European Commission is investigating possible infringements of European competition law by certain bearing manufacturers regarding the supply of bearings to the automotive manufacturing industry in Europe. In the course of this proceeding, the Commission visited SKF offices in Sweden and Germany in November 2011.
SKF has fully cooperated with the Commission and has undertaken its own investigation. Based on this and SKF's best estimate of a possible amount of a fine, SKF will take a provision of SEK 3 billion in its fourth quarter result. SKF believes that the Commission may impose a fine on SKF in 2014.
"I deeply regret that this has happened. Even if we believe it has not caused any damage to our business partners, this should not have happened and is not at all in line with the values we have in SKF. We have a clear code of conduct and a well-established compliance program, which we operate throughout the Group, but it did not prevent this from happening. We have since taken further steps to intensify training and knowledge on this throughout the Group" says Tom Johnstone, President and CEO. "We have previously advised that the likely fine will materially affect our result and cash flow and have taken our best estimate of a possible fine into the result."
Kaydon acquisition impact
Kaydons sales figures for the fourth quarter are estimated to be around SEK 750 million. The operating results will be impacted by around SEK 250 million caused by amortization of inventory revaluation to fair value and other acquisition cost, which will result in an operating loss of around SEK 150 million.
Going forward Kaydon is expected in 2014 to operate around the Groups operating margin target level, including amortization of assets identified in the purchase price allocations.
Information regarding the preliminary purchase price allocation of the Kaydon Corporation, see SKF's website: investors.skf.com
Other one-time items
SKF expects to take additional one-time cost in the fourth quarter of around SEK 100 million, whereof around half of it refers to the ongoing restructuring programme.
Sales development in the fourth quarter
Sales for the fourth quarter are broadly in line with the outlook given in the nine-month results however the mix of sales has been unfavorable. This in combination with a slightly lower manufacturing than planned is expected to have a somewhat negative impact on the quarterly result compared to the previous quarter.
The SKF Year-end report 2013 will be published on Tuesday, 28 January 2014.

Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products opened for signature
The Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products, adopted by the Parties to the WHO FCTC in November 2012 in Seoul, Republic of Korea, was opened for signature by the Parties in a ceremony at WHO Headquarters on 10 January 2013.
More than 50 Parties participated in the event and 12 Parties representing all six regions signed the Protocol on this occasion. These countries are China, France, Gabon, Libya, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Panama, Republic of Korea, South Africa, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey and Uruguay. In addition, Tunisia signed the Protocol on Friday, 11 January, while the treaty was still open for signature in Geneva.
After the initial two days in Geneva, the Protocol was opened for signature at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and will remain so until 9 January 2014. It will enter into force 90 days after the 40th Party has ratified it.
The Parties who took the floor at the opening ceremony expressed their strong commitment to and support for the Protocol, some of them declaring their intention to sign it in the near future.
The WHO Director-General also attended and addressed the ceremony. Among the speakers were the Permanent Representatives of the Republic of Korea and Uruguay to the UN in Geneva, representing the current and preceding Presidencies of the Conference of the Parties to the WHO FCTC.
Other speakers included representatives of key partners named in the Protocol itself – the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime and the World Customs Organization – with the Framework Convention Alliance speaking on behalf of its members.
The new international treaty is aimed at combating illegal trade in tobacco products through control of the supply chain and international cooperation. As a key measure, Parties commit to establishing a global tracking and tracing system to reduce and eventually eradicate illicit trade.

Tokyo, Japan, October 31, 2010 - Having suffered two narrow defeats at the start of their FIVB Women's World Championship campaign, world No.8 Poland rebounded with an impressive straight-sets (25-14, 25-12, 25-15) win against world No.31 Costa Rica in Tokyo. Costa Rica, who had beaten Algeria on Saturday, were left with the same 1-2 Pool A record as their opponents.
Poland shared the points around with Berenika Okuniewska and Joanna Kaczor – their leading scorer so far – both posting 10 while Anna Werblinska and Malgorzata Glinka-Mogentale collected nine. For the Costa Ricans, Verania Willis came to the fore once more with 10 points.FIVB Women's World Championship Japan 2010 official page
Poland set the tone early in the first set with great attacking play from Katarzyna Gajgal and Okuniewska. A number of players contributed – there were impressive drives from Glinka-Mogentale and Kaczor and another from Werblinska as they moved 18-9 in front. A Glinka-Mogentale block gave Poland setpoint and they duly took it on a net serve by Verania Willis.Gajgal continued to impress early in the second set, with a pair of spikes that helped Poland edge ahead at 8-6. Power-hitter Glinka-Mogentale was dropping bombs from the left, slapping one shot down in front of Costa Rica libero Marianela Alfaro to widen the gap to 15-7. Kaczor then drove home a kill of her own to cap a seven-point run by Poland as they stretched their lead to 20-7 before closing the set at 25-12 via a block by Karen Cope that fell wide. Poland's block worked to good effect in the third set with Okuniewska and Kaczor frustrating Costa Rica's Cope repeatedly at the net. By contrast, consecutive spikes by Glinka-Mogentale sliced through opposition blockers Angela Willis and Mariela Quesada as the Europeans climbed 12-2 in front. Costa Rica showed spirited resistance to take nine of the next 10 points to make it 13-11 with strong play from the Willis sisters and Paola Ramirez. But Jerzy Matlak's team had too much for them on the day, and produced a run of their own punctuated by a Kaczor ace to make it 19-12. A clever side-tip by sub Joanna Wolosz then gave the set 25-15 to Poland and with it the match.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Gdbondii from So used to ironware My son uses these. We ordered one as a Christmas present and in wrapping it slipped off the bed as I was wrapping it. No big deal as iron! Wrong a handle broke. So I ordered another. Good thing they were on sale so I did not have to pay the full price twice. I could not lie and blame it on shipping!Date published: 2019-01-14Rated 5 out of 5 by Jhmme from Highly Recommend I wish I knew about La Creuset 25 years ago. If so, I'd be a good cook now and not a novice! I've struggled cooking a decent roast forever. My first attempt with the Oval Covered Casserole and my roast was perfect! Moist, tender, just perfect. My Thanksgiving turkey (although it had to be small to fit in dish) was perfect. Clean up was beyond easy. I absolutely recommend the bakeware.Date published: 2017-01-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Thesaint from Great Casserole Very stylish and good for cooking for 4 people. Very easy to handle and in great colors.Date published: 2015-09-18Rated 5 out of 5 by Liltif7 from Best dish ever! I love how nice this looks from the oven to the table... It cleans up so easily, nothing sticks to it. It's great to have a tight fitting cover, and can go from the refrigerator to the oven to the table!Date published: 2015-05-24Rated 5 out of 5 by OzarkArkie from Everyone needs one of these! I roast a chicken in this oval cassarole every Sunday, and it is delectable every Sunday. Looks gorgeous on the table, too.Date published: 2015-01-20Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellenjc from finally Le Crueset in my kichen I just got my first le Crueset casserole dish.. It was worth the wait it cleans well and bakes well.Date published: 2015-01-20Rated 5 out of 5 by mwe527 from Multipurpose: Oven to Table I've cooked/baked using my mother's LC stoneware before, but this is the first piece in my own collection. I purchased this specifically to make stuffing for Thanksgiving, but I foresee myself using this many times in the future--in first week of owning this dish, I've used it 3 times. It's the perfect size for preparing WS focaccia stuffing, by the way. It's easy to use and easy to clean, which is a huge benefit. The lid also makes it easy to transport dishes. My favorite part is that it can go directly from the oven to the table and you can serve out of it...no need to dirty more bowls! The ocean color is two-tone and unique. I will definitely buy more of these versatile pieces.Date published: 2014-11-29Rated 5 out of 5 by TracyD888 from LOVE this....but it broke. :( This is an AWESOME dish....I have been saving up to get it...its my FIRST le Creuset!! I wouldn't even put it up in the cabinet...because I just wanted to LOOK at it!! I was soooooo excited! I had never roasted a whole chicken before...so I did. And I took it out of the oven....perfection! I almost cried I was sooo excited! then........the worst happened. I took the chicken out of this fabulous dish...to rest. I placed the dish on the eye of my stove to warm the juices and add a slurry to it to make a gravy... yeah...did not realize you couldn't put it on the eye (you can with the cast iron I come to find out).. and it popped...cracked....I grabbed it and put in sink and it broke in half. I cried. My one and only meal in my long awaited le Crueset. I know this was my fault. I thought I had read everything on it. I was so pumped to finally get one. boo. sad day.Date published: 2014-09-04

During the debut season of "Downton Abbey," which landed on these shores in 2011, Carson the butler bristled as he grappled with some 1912 technology: the Grantham estate's first telephone.
His comical frustration helped set the tone for an alternately humorous, dramatic (and melodramatic) series in which change is as much a character as the Crawleys' extended family, their servants and the Yorkshire manor they share. Three years (in real years) and about a decade (in "Downton Abbey" years) later, the series returns to PBS Sunday for a fourth season, with technology and time not fully on its side.
That's because, at least in part, of the silly 15-week wait between the season's debut on Britain's ITV and its US bow. For nearly four months, fans on this side of the Atlantic have been either dodging Internet-delivered spoilers or finding means of watching "Downton Abbey" that wouldn't meet Lord Grantham's high moral standards.
In August, PBS President Paula Kerger chalked up the delay to, among other things, building anticipation ("The fact that word-of-mouth travels after it airs in the UK has actually benefited us … we kind of don't want to mess with that if it's working so well," Entertainment Weekly quoted her as saying).
The scheduling time lords at the BBC, though, likely wouldn't agree with that strategy: The British broadcaster turned the TARDIS into an international buzz machine when November's "Doctor Who" 50th anniversary special aired in 75 countries at the same time, drawing a reported 77 million viewers. A few hours usually separates showings of regular "Doctor Who" episodes in the UK and US.
PBS has relented – to an extent – with another popular British import, "Sherlock," which arrives for its third season Jan. 19, 18 days after UK audiences got a New Years gift. The BBC also posted a seven-minute online mini-episode of "Sherlock" on Christmas Eve for all to see – not a bad way to stoke hype across international lines.
The PBS's old-school approach to "Downton Abbey" comes as the Grantham crew faces the challenge this season of going on after the death of Matthew Crawley, who was trying to drag the last vestiges of British feudalism into the modern era with a minimum of pain for the estate's upstairs and downstairs contingents.
The 1920s will have to roar on without him, even as the British lion and much of the rest of the world is headed for an extended winter of discontent. Part of the fun of "Downton Abbey" is knowing, at least writ large, what's coming, even if it's unclear exactly how the Lady Grantham, Lady Mary, Thomas, Bates and the rest will fare. Even if you've avoided all the spoilers, it's a good bet that the creative team will stick to this formula: Something bad happens to somebody. Repeat.
The show's camp value aside, fans are deeply invested in century-old fictional characters who have become part of the popular culture, perhaps as best seen in parodies ("Downton Arby's," Jimmy Fallon's "Downton Sixbey") and online memes – many featuring insults hurled by Maggie Smith's acerbic Dowager Countess, a character whose barbs cut across time. She's with Carson, though, on the value of the telephone: "Is this an instrument of communication or torture?"
It's time to embrace technology – including the Internet, where you can find this Season 4 preview as we patiently await Sunday's return of "Downton Abbey":

Honda's latest hybrid, the 2011 CR-Z, attempts to be both sporty and a hybrid, and it has middling success at each.
When it goes on sale Aug. 24, the CR-Z will be the first hybrid in six model years to offer a manual transmission; it will also be available with a continuously variable automatic transmission. As the spiritual successor to the wedge-shaped CRX, produced from 1984 to '91, the two-door, two-seat CR-Z joins the five-seat Insight and Civic hybrids in Honda's semi-electric lineup. Final pricing hasn't been released, but Honda says the base CR-Z will cost less than $20,000 including the destination charge. The 2010 Insight is $20,550 with destination, and the Civic Hybrid starts at $24,550.
The CR-Z's higher trim level, the EX, adds features like Bluetooth, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum shift knob (manual), aluminum pedals, additional interior accents and a more powerful stereo with a subwoofer. The all-important analog and USB MP3-player inputs are standard in all trim levels.
A navigation system effectively creates another trim level, called EX Navi, which will top out at less than $24,000 including the optional CVT but with no further options. Options will include mostly exterior and interior cosmetic "accessories," but you can also get 17-inch summer tires in place of the standard 16-inch all-seasons.
I drove EX Navi versions, both manual and automatic.
Unexpected Comfort
My first and most lasting impression was how comfortable the CR-Z's ride is. Take a small car with sporty intentions, and you have the formula for a stiff ride. Add the fact that it comes from Honda, whose suspensions lean toward the firm, and the expectation is perfectly reasonable. The CR-Z goes way in the other direction. The short wheelbase does result in some fore-aft rocking, but overall I found it more comfortable than some larger Hondas.
On the downside, this ostensibly sporty model exhibits a lot of body roll, a common but no longer inevitable tradeoff of a compliant ride. This was unexpected, in part because the CR-Z's hybrid battery pack — mounted low toward the rear — lowers the car's center of gravity. The front/rear weight distribution is 59/41 with the manual transmission and 60/40 with the CVT, which is the norm for a front-wheel-drive car. All the same, the CR-Z feels more nose-heavy to me than do the Mini Cooper and Volkswagen Golf. Granted, those are four- and five-seaters, respectively, but the two-seaters with which the CR-Z arguably competes are usually rear-wheel drive, and that makes for an intrinsic weight-distribution advantage among many CR-Z competitors.
The CR-Z goes into a corner with understeer, as expected, though the standard tires have some bite, and the electric motor provides respectable torque at low revs to pull you out of the turn. There was no opportunity to truly flog the car on a racetrack, but my impression is that it's reluctant to rotate on its axis — something the Golf and Cooper do well. A high point is the CR-Z's precise, well-weighted steering from what Honda notes is the company's smallest steering wheel. The handling is definitely sporty, but the CR-Z didn't beg to be driven hard. Part of this is about power.
I'm no power junkie. Power is the easiest and crudest element manufacturers can put in a car — as they often do to mask shortcomings. What many car reviewers call underpowered, I call modestly powered. That's how I characterize the CR-Z, but here modest is a problem. The CR-Z is meant to be a sporty, fun car. Sporty cars typically are less efficient than normal ones, and a sporty hybrid can be expected to be less efficient than a normal hybrid.
The problem is, the CR-Z might not be powerful enough to justify its lower mileage. It's smaller than the Insight, has fewer seats and is generally less versatile. Those are all tradeoffs. In the absence of substantially greater acceleration, the CR-Z's low-mileage rationalization simply falls apart.
Manual Hybrid
Of the two transmissions, the standard six-speed manual is the more responsive and certainly the more fun, as manuals usually are. The six-speed stick has a decent feel, with reasonably short throws. The gear ratios are well chosen to give the car a respectable launch, and the clutch and all other aspects feel like any other manual, which is nice when compared with all other hybrids, whose continuously variable characteristics vary in refinement and all feel a bit foreign in the best of circumstances.
It doesn't hurt that the engine-motor combination has 5 pounds-feet more torque at a lower rpm when teamed with the stick: 128 pounds-feet at 1,750 rpm versus 123 at 2,000 rpm. The horsepower rating is constant at 122. The hybrid system is Honda's relatively simple Integrated Motor Assist, in which an electric motor is effectively mounted to the crankshaft — an oversimplification, but the point is it turns only when the engine does. The gas engine automatically turns off when the car comes to a stop, and the electric motor restarts it when you lift your foot off the brake.
The motor also assists in acceleration, contributing 13 horsepower at 1,500 rpm and 58 pounds-feet of torque at 1,000 rpm to the overall rating. When coasting or braking, it serves as a generator, regenerating electricity and charging the high-voltage battery pack.
Where the Insight uses a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine, the CR-Z has a 1.5-liter. This higher displacement and sportier, higher-rolling-resistance tires play a part in the car's decreased mileage, as does a higher coefficient of drag: 0.3 versus the Insight's 0.2.
The brake pedal feel is also quite good for a hybrid. Regenerative braking tends to make the pedal mushy and nonlinear. (If anything, the current-generation Prius is worse in this regard than the previous one.) Between its stick shift and decent brake pedal feel, the manual CR-Z is the least hybridlike hybrid we've driven.
It's good to drive a manual hybrid again, as the last one went out of production with the previous-generation Civic Hybrid in 2005. There is a tradeoff, though, in gas mileage. In regular cars, manuals often are more efficient, but it all depends on how you drive them. This goes double for hybrids, because the alternative, a computer-controlled CVT, does a better job of maximizing regenerative braking. However, Honda says a driver who follows the manual CR-Z's shift-up and shift-down indicator arrows can come close to the CVT's rating.
Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission
I also drove the CVT version, which behaves pretty well. CVTs sometimes accelerate abruptly from a standing start or come to a stop awkwardly. The CR-Z lurched a bit upon launch, but it improved once the car had warmed. I also noticed smoother response if I let off the brake and waited for the engine to spin up and engage the transmission before hitting the gas pedal. Otherwise I'd catch the sleeping engine by surprise and it would jump out of bed and whack its head on the transmission, if you will. Like other CVTs, when you accelerate hard, the engine zooms to its top speed and the transmission accelerates the car as the engine drones on at a constant and rather loud level.
The CVT makes full use of the CR-Z's three-mode drive system. In both versions, Sport mode decreases the power-steering assist, and Econ mode switches the air-conditioning compressor to a more efficient cycle. With the manual transmission, the modes vary how much the car accelerates based on accelerator-pedal depression. It's more responsive in Sport, reluctant in Econ and up the middle in Normal mode. In the CVT, it varies the throttle response less and the gear ratio quite a bit.
For example, if you're cruising along and switch on Sport mode, it instantly boosts the engine speed by about 1,000 rpm, keeping the vehicle speed constant. To remind you not to stay in the mode unintentionally and waste gas, a blue ring around the digital speedometer turns red and stays that way. In the Normal and Econ modes, it starts out blue but transitions to green when you drive in an efficient manner.
Keeping the engine at higher revs makes it ready to accelerate with more power, and it provides more engine braking. Econ holds the engine at lower rpm and makes the first few inches of accelerator-pedal travel less productive. Again, Normal is in between.
If you floor the accelerator, regardless of mode, the CR-Z goes full-steam ahead. I can't overemphasize how important this is. When you need a car to go, you need it to go, and cars that rob you of full power in the name of an efficiency mode (there are some) are potentially hazardous. When you request passing power from the CR-Z at highway speeds, there's slightly more delay if you're in Econ mode because the CVT has to up the ratio and the engine needs to rev up, but this is incremental; there's no artificial limitation. In any mode with either transmission, passing power is serviceable, but again, it's not exactly sports-car material.
Anyone who wants the manual experience with the CVT can have it, thanks to shift paddles on the steering wheel, which select among seven fixed gear ratios that emulate a conventional transmission. It shifts up and down relatively quickly. You can trigger a manual selection at any time, but in Normal mode, it will promptly revert to automatic operation. When in Sport, it stays in the selected gear and manual mode unless you hold the shift-up paddle for a few seconds or change mode altogether.
It appears that the EPA estimates are conservative, as is the case with the Insight. I exceeded the automatic's highway rating with 39.4 mpg, according to the trip computer. That's not bad for a car with only 1,000 miles on it, hardly broken in. Of course, this was on flat terrain on a warm day. Other conditions might change the results.
The driver's seat has more legroom than I needed at 6 feet tall, and it has comfortable, supportive cushions with just enough side bolstering. The passenger seat, however, had too much lumbar support, and neither seat lets you adjust it. A driver's seat height adjustment is standard, and I had a little headroom to spare even with the seat raised fully. The steering wheel tilts and telescopes, which is another plus. The one omission is a center armrest, which is optional. If comfort isn't a good enough reason to get it, the cabin's lack of covered storage certainly is. There's a glove compartment, but it's tucked far under the dashboard and is hard to access even from the passenger seat.
Visibility to the front and sides is good, but out the rear is a problem. The rear pillar is high and wide, and the rear windows — bisected by a horizontal beam as they are in the Insight — are rather narrow. On the positive side, the crossbeam seems higher than it is in the Insight and Prius, so it didn't obscure cars behind me in the rear-view mirror.
The CR-Z EX's interior impressed me. We've complained about inconsistency in Honda's cabin materials, both the quality and the typical hodgepodge of textures and colors. The CR-Z is an improvement. There's low-gloss material on the dashboard and the tops of the doors, and the door handles and some dashboard trim feature a high-luminosity metal-film composite that Honda describes as a thin layer of vaporized tin under clearcoat. Pretty effective stuff.
The seats are upholstered in silver-gray mesh fabric. It looks pretty good on the doors, too, but it's a bit too coarse to be serving as armrests. The gauges are brilliant, three-dimensional luminescent affairs, including a digital speedometer at the center of an analog tachometer dial. Like the Insight, the driving mode buttons, ventilation controls and other switches rest on pods canted toward the driver. Unlike the Insight, there's no separate high-mounted gauge at the base of the windshield, which some people don't like. I was reminded that I like it because the steering wheel blocked my view of the gauge cluster.
Sometimes efficient cars are noisy. The CR-Z isn't bad. Engine noise is the most intrusive, but it's mainly under heavy throttle. Other sounds are relatively balanced: There's some road noise and occasional wisps of wind around the A-pillars, but nothing is overbearing, though a motorcycle or noisy car alongside the CR-Z intrudes through relatively thin (lightweight) side windows. One sound I couldn't help noticing was a slight hiss coming from the cargo area that I thought was static from a radio trapped between stations. Ultimately I found it was a cooling fan for the battery pack, which speeds up and slows down along with the vehicle, so it's always just barely audible. Raising the cargo partition and putting the retractable cargo cover in place seemed to quiet it down some.
At 25.1 cubic feet, the cargo area is more than twice the volume of a typical compact car's trunk. It's not particularly tall, but it's a vast improvement over the first-generation Insight, a two-seater whose cargo floor was nearly at head restraint height. Two storage bins sit right behind the seat where a backseat would be and are separated from the rest of the cargo area by a vertical partition that can be folded forward 90 degrees to form a continuous, longer cargo floor. (The Japanese-market CR-Z has a backseat — a generous term for it — but Honda says U.S. safety regulations require rear head restraints that would stick up through the roof.)
The partition folds down in a single step, but it would be better if there were release handles on the sides rather than one in the center where it's hard to reach from outside the car. My test cars also had retractable cargo covers, which can span the entire cargo area or can be mounted on the floor about a foot in front of the rear bumper. This configuration creates a small compartment, but the whole space looks empty when viewed from the outside.
As a brand-new model, the CR-Z hasn't been crash-tested yet. Standard safety features include frontal, side-impact and curtain airbags and active head restraints. Also standard are antilock brakes with discs at all four corners and an electronic stability system with traction control.
CR-Z in the Market
The CR-Z is in the middle in many ways, including sportiness and mileage. At least Honda is pricing and positioning it in the middle, too. Though it's less efficient than other hybrids, it's also cheaper. It's more expensive than some sporty cars, but in those cases it's more efficient.
Potential competitors are an eclectic mix, and few match the CR-Z in more than one attribute. Among larger two-doors, the Civic's performance-oriented trim level, the Si, is close to $23,000 with the destination charge, and the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis coupe start above $22,000.
The super-fun Mazda MX-5 Miata similarly comes nowhere near the CR-Z's mileage, and it starts at more than $23,000. With the retractable hardtop, which makes it more like a coupe, it's close to $28,000.
On some level, the two-door, 36-mpg-combined Smart ForTwo is a competitor, but ... don't make me laugh. (Smart ForTwo review.)
In my opinion, the CR-Z's greatest two-door competition comes from the Mini Cooper, modestly powered in base form at $19,500 with destination. With an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined (manual) and 28 mpg (automatic), it's at least knocking at the CR-Z's door. For anyone who's willing to consider diesel, the Golf TDI delivers 34 mpg combined. It starts at $22,905 with destination, but a $1,300 tax credit knocks it down to $21,605.
Honda sold 20,000 CR-Zs in four months when it went on sale in Japan, but Japan is less power-hungry than the U.S. In some ways I think Honda would have been better off downplaying the hybrid aspect and presenting the CR-Z as an efficient little car that happens to be a hybrid. When shoppers hear "hybrid," I think they expect more — more mileage, or at least more space, seats or sportiness for the mileage the CR-Z offers.
Honda's latest hybrid, the 2011 CR-Z, attempts to be both sporty and a hybrid, and it has middling success at each.

Neoantigen-targeted therapies have typically been based upon personalized neoantigen-specific vaccines; however, in this issue of JCI, van der Lee et al. describe the development of a potential cellular immunotherapy targeting a "public" neoantigen derived from nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), which is mutated in approximately 30% of acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs). The authors use reverse immunology to predict, and biochemically confirm, NPM1-derived neoepitopes (ΔNPM1) and then generate high-avidity T cell clones and retrovirally transduced T cell populations that kill NPM1-mutated AML. This study provides a general approach to adoptive cellular therapy that can be applied to targeting other tumors with public neoantigens.

War on poverty wages on
Fifty years ago this week, President Lyndon Johnson, lamenting that too many Americans "live on the outskirts of hope," declared an "unconditional war on poverty in America." This will not be "a short or easy struggle," he stated, "no single weapon or strategy will suffice, but we will not rest until that war is won. The richest nation on earth can afford to win it. We cannot afford to lose it."
