WASHINGTON – For the first time since the Nov. 6 election, partisan bickering trumped bargaining Thursday as Democrats and Republicans vied for the political high ground in talks to avoid year-end tax increases and spending cuts that threaten harm to middle class pocketbooks.
"No substantive progress has been made between the White House and the House" over the past two weeks toward averting the "fiscal cliff," House Speaker John Boehner declared after a private meeting with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner in the Capitol. "Unfortunately, many Democrats continue to rule out sensible spending cuts that must be part of any significant agreement that will reduce our deficit."
Democrats said any holdup was the fault of Republicans, who are balking at President Barack Obama's plan to raise tax rates on incomes higher than $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.
Republican aides later said Geithner had proposed passage by year's end of tax increases totaling $1.6 trillion over a decade, including the rate hikes sought by Obama.
They said the White House is also seeking year-end approval for an unspecified amount of new spending to renew expiring jobless benefits, help homeowners hit by the real estate collapse and prevent a looming Jan. 1 cut in fees for doctors who treat Medicare patients.
The GOP said the White House was offering unspecified spending cuts this year. Those would be followed next year by legislation producing savings from Medicare and other benefit programs of up to $400 billion over a decade, a companion to an overhaul of the tax code.
At his news conference, Boehner, R-Ohio, blamed the White House and members of Obama's party for refusing to propose detailed savings from the government's huge benefit programs.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rebutted moments later. "We're still waiting for a serious offer from Republicans," the Nevada Democrat said at a news conference. He noted that GOP leaders have refused the president's call to extend expiring tax cuts for the middle class while letting them lapse at upper incomes.
At the White House, presidential press secretary Jay Carney said flatly, "There can be no deal without rates on top earners going up."
Taking a confrontational, at times sarcastic tone, he said, "This should not be news to anyone on Capitol Hill. It is certainly not news to anyone in America who was not in a coma during the campaign season."
The White House also circulated a memo that said closing loopholes and limiting tax deductions — a preferred Republican alternative to Obama's call to raise high-end tax rates — would be likely to depress charitable donations and wind up leading to a middle class tax increase in the near future.
With barely a month remaining until year's end, the hardening of positions seemed more likely to mark a transition into hard bargaining rather than signal an end to efforts to achieve a compromise on the first postelection challenge of divided government.
Boehner suggested as much when one reporter asked if his comments meant he was breaking off talks with the White House and congressional Democrats.
"No, no, no. Stop," he quickly answered.
"I've got to tell you, I'm disappointed in where we are, and disappointed in what's happened over the last couple weeks. But going over the fiscal cliff is serious business."
At issue is a bipartisan desire to prevent the wholesale expiration of Bush-era tax cuts and the simultaneous implementation of across-the-board spending cuts. The potential spending reductions, to be divided between military and domestic programs, were locked into place more than a year ago in hopes the threat would have forced a compromise on a deficit reduction deal before now.
Economists in and out of government warn that sending the economy over the "cliff" would trigger a recession.
To avoid the danger, Obama and Congress are hoping to devise a plan that can reduce future deficits by as much as $4 trillion in a decade, cancel the tax increases and automatic spending cuts and expand the government's ability to borrow beyond the current limit of $16.4 trillion.
In the first few days after the elections, Boehner said he was willing to accept a deal that included new revenues, a long-time Democratic demand, and Obama has said he will sign on to savings from Medicare, Medicaid and other benefit programs that Democrats have long defended from proposed Republican cuts.
At the same time, both sides have worked to tilt the bargaining table to their advantage. As part of that effort, Obama travels to Pennsylvania on Friday to campaign for his tax proposal.
Boehner, who will begin a second term as House speaker early next month, has appealed to his rank and file to remain united. At a closed-door meeting this week, he displayed polling data that showed the public would rather see loopholes closed than rates raised as a means of raising revenue for the government.
Speaking with reporters after his closed-door session with Geithner, Boehner accused the president of holding "campaign-style rallies" rather than engaging in serious bargaining.
Reid, too, cited polls, saying the public favors the sort of balanced approach to deficit cutting, tax increases included, that Obama backed in his race against Republican Mitt Romney.
Polls of voters taken as they left their polling places on Nov. 6 showed 60 percent said taxes should go up on income over $250,000 or for everyone, including 77 percent of Democrats, 42 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of independents.
At the same time, 63 percent said that taxes should not be increased to reduce the federal budget deficit, a view shared by 50 percent of Democrats, 62 percent of independents and 81 percent of Republicans.
"Republicans know where we stand," Reid said at his news conference. "We're still waiting for a serious offer from Republicans."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was more emphatic.
Referring to a meeting at the White House more than a week ago, he said both sides agreed to a two-part framework that would include a significant down payment in 2012, along with a plan to expand on the savings in 2013.
"Each side said they'd submit a down payment. We have. Our preference is revenue. What is theirs?" he said, speaking of the Republicans.
In addition to sessions with Boehner and Reid, Geithner also met during the day with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and top House Democrats.
Said McConnell, in a statement: "To date, the administration has remained focused on raising taxes and attending campaign-style events, with no specific plans to protect Medicare and Social Security or reduce our national debt in a meaningful way." He added, "And today, they took a step backward, moving away from consensus and significantly closer to the cliff."

It may look like the human battery farm from The Matrix, but the Graft Tower is actually a "parametric-designed eco-hotel and vertical farm," which includes plant material growing inside its structure and creates ethanol through natural processes.
The tower, which would literally "grow" by grafting organic material around the base of the structure's frame and allowing it to grow upward, is a "net plus" resource building that could provide water, food, and energy for a busy neighborhood in San Juan, Puerto Rico — not to mention the eco-hotel and apartments for permanent residents built into the structure itself. The end result is a symbiotic relationship between the organic shelter and its human inhabitants.
According to eVolo:
Optimizing the frame's capacity for natural ventilation and cooling, a twisting tower is created, with each unit's shape stretching toward the West, as determined by wind dynamics. Water is collected at the bottom of each unit and then dispersed throughout the open framework into the vertical farming. The plants grow sporadically throughout the transforming building, as they are able to find water and sunlight... Condensation, which is typical problem in the Puerto Rico environment, is managed by the yellow "vascular" system. Certain portions of the vascular system also distribute liquid ethanol, a product of the artificial photosynthesis skin panels, which fuels the energy demands of the building. The faceted skin allows a large variation in the electro-chromatic vision panels.
You'll find more information of the Graft Tower, including breathtaking concept images, at eVolo.

Air Force Special Agents Partner with Afghan National Police
By Staff Sgt. Mike Andriacco, USAF
Special to American Forces Press Service
BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, Nov. 19, 2007 – Special agents assigned to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations Expeditionary Detachment 2405 here regularly work together with Afghan National Police on a broad range of missions related to humanitarian assistance and security.
"We usually meet up with the ANP several times a week for medical engagements and humanitarian assistance drops," said Special Agent Chris Williams, detachment superintendent. A medical engagement is a mission where members of the base medical team go to local villages to help Afghans in need of medical care.
The Afghan National Police often provide additional security for the airmen involved in these kinds of missions, and also provide an example to their countrymen of the strong partnership between U.S. forces and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. That kind of example is important, officials say, as an Afghan villager may be more likely to share potentially life-saving information with a fellow Afghan, and airmen can't always be there.
Through its work with U.S. forces, the Afghan police are fostering trust and goodwill between the villages and their coalition neighbors, as well as helping to bring security and stability to the region.
"I am very thankful that your military left your beautiful country and families to come over here and risk your lives for the peace and security of Afghanistan," said a local Afghan National Police commander.
(Air Force Staff Sgt. Mike Andriacco is assigned to 455th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs.)

Create and manage room mailboxes in Exchange 2013
Applies to: Exchange Server 2013
Estimated time to complete: 5 minutes.
A room mailbox is a resource mailbox that's assigned to a physical location, such as a conference room, an auditorium, or a training room. After an administrator creates room mailboxes, users can easily reserve rooms by including room mailboxes in meeting requests. For more details, check out Recipients.
For info about another type of resource mailbox, check out Manage equipment mailboxes.
If you're running Exchange 2013 in a hybrid scenario, make sure you create the room mailboxes in the appropriate place. Create your room mailboxes for your on-premises organization on-premises, and room mailboxes for Exchange Online side should be created in the cloud.
What do you need to know before you begin?
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure or procedures. To see what permissions you need, see the "Recipient Provisioning Permissions" section in the Recipients Permissions topic.
For information about keyboard shortcuts that may apply to the procedures in this topic, see Keyboard shortcuts for the Exchange admin center in Exchange 2013.
Having problems? Ask for help in the Exchange forums. Visit the forums at Exchange Server.
Create a room mailbox
Use the Exchange admin center to create a room mailbox
In the Exchange admin center, navigate to Recipients > Resources.
To create a room mailbox, click New > Room mailbox.
Use the options on the page to specify the settings for the new resource mailbox.
* Room name: Use this box to type a name for the room mailbox. This is the name that's listed in the resource mailbox list in the Exchange admin center and in your organization's address book. This name is required and it can't exceed 64 characters.
Although there are other fields that describe the details of the room, for example, Location and Capacity, consider summarizing the most important details in the room name using a consistent naming convention. Why? So users can easily see the details when they select the room from the address book in the meeting request.
* Email address: A room mailbox has an email address so it can receive booking requests. The email address consists of an alias on the left side of the @ symbol, which must be unique in the forest, and your domain name on the right. The email address is required.
Location, Phone, Capacity: You can use these fields to enter details about the room. However, as explained earlier, you can include some or all of this information in the room name so users can see it.
When you're finished, click Save to create the room mailbox.
Once you've created your room mailbox, you can edit your room mailbox to update info about booking options, MailTips and mailbox delegation. Check out the Use the Exchange admin center section below to change room mailbox properties
Use Exchange PowerShell to create a room mailbox
This example creates a room mailbox with the following configuration:
The room mailbox resides on Mailbox Database 1.
The mailbox's name is ConfRoom1. This name will also be used to create the room's email address.
The display name in the Exchange admin center and the address book will be Conference Room 1.
The Room switch specifies that this mailbox will be created as a room mailbox.
New-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database 1" -Name ConfRoom1 - -DisplayName "Conference Room 1" -Room
For detailed syntax and parameter information, see New-Mailbox.
How do you know this worked?
You can make sure you've created the room mailbox correctly a couple of different ways:
In the Exchange admin center, navigate to Recipients > Resources. The new room mailbox is displayed in the mailbox list. Under Mailbox Type, the type is Room.
In Exchange PowerShell, run the following command to display information about the new room mailbox.
Get-Mailbox <Name> | Format-List Name,RecipientTypeDetails,PrimarySmtpAddress
Create a room list
If you're planning to have more than a hundred rooms, or already have more than a hundred rooms created, use a room list to help you organize your rooms. If your company has several buildings with rooms that can be booked for meetings, it might help to create room lists for each building. Room lists are specially marked distribution groups that you can use the same way you use distribution groups. However, you can only create room lists using the Exchange Management Shell.
Use Exchange PowerShell to create a room list
This example creates a room list for building 32.
New-DistributionGroup -Name "Building 32 Conference Rooms" -OrganizationalUnit "contoso.com/rooms" -RoomList
Use Exchange PowerShell to add a room to a room list
This example adds confroom3223 to the building 32 room list.
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "Building 32 Conference Rooms" -Member firstname.lastname@example.com
Use Exchange PowerShell to convert a distribution group to a room list
You may already have created distribution groups in the past that contain your conference rooms. You don't need to recreate them; we can convert them quickly into a room list.
This example converts the distribution group, building 34 conference rooms, to a room list.
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity "Building 34 Conference Rooms" -RoomList
Change room mailbox properties
After you create a room mailbox, you can make changes and set additional properties by using the Exchange admin center or Exchange PowerShell.
Use the Exchange admin center to change room mailbox properties
In the Exchange admin center, navigate to Recipients > Resources.
In the list of resource mailboxes, click the room mailbox that you want to change the properties for, and then click Edit .
On the room mailbox properties page, click one of the following sections to view or change properties.
Use the General section to view or change basic information about the resource.

After you select this check box, users can still send booking messages to the room mailbox by using the email address.
Department: Use this box to specify a department name that the room is associated with. You can use this property to create recipient conditions for dynamic distribution groups and address lists.
Company: Use this box to specify a company that the room is associated with, if applicable. Like the Department property, you can use this property to create recipient conditions for dynamic distribution groups and address lists.
Address book policy: Use this option to specify an address book policy (ABP) for the room mailbox. ABPs contain a global address list (GAL), an offline address book (OAB), a room list, and a set of address lists. To learn more, see Address book policies.
In the drop-down list, select the policy that you want associated with this mailbox.
Custom attributes: This section displays the custom attributes defined for the room mailbox. To specify custom attribute values, click Edit . You can specify up to 15 custom attributes for the recipient.
Use this section to view or change how the room mailbox handles reservation requests and to define who can accept or decline booking requests if it isn't done automatically.
Booking requests: Select one of the following options to handle booking requests.
Accept or decline booking requests automatically: A valid meeting request automatically reserves the room. If there's a scheduling conflict with an existing reservation, or if the booking request violates the scheduling limits of the resource, for example, the reservation duration is too long, the meeting request is automatically declined.
Select delegates who can accept or decline booking requests: Resource delegates are responsible for accepting or declining meeting requests that are sent to the room mailbox. If you assign more than one resource delegate, only one of them has to act on a specific meeting request.
Delegates: If you selected the option requiring that booking requests be sent to delegates, the specified delegates are listed. Click Add or Remove to add or remove delegates from this list.
Booking Options
Use the Booking Options section to view or change the settings for the booking policy that defines when the room can be scheduled, how long it can be reserved, and how far in advance it can be reserved.
Allow repeating meetings: This setting allows or prevents repeating meetings for the room. By default, this setting is enabled, so repeating meetings are allowed.
Allow scheduling only during working hours: This setting accepts or declines meeting requests that aren't during the working hours defined for the room. By default, this setting is disabled, so meeting requests are allowed outside the working hours.By default, working hours are 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. You can configure the working hours of the room mailbox in the Appearance section on the Calendar page.
Always decline if the end date is beyond this limit: This setting controls the behavior of repeating meetings that extend beyond the date specified by the maximum booking lead time setting.
If you enable this setting, a repeating booking request is automatically declined if the bookings start on or before the date specified by the value in the Maximum booking lead time box, and they extend beyond the specified date. This is the default setting.
If you disable this setting, a repeating booking request is automatically accepted if booking requests start on or before the date specified by the value in the Maximum booking lead time box, and they extend beyond the specified date. However, the number of bookings is reduced so bookings won't occur after the specified date.
Maximum booking lead time (days): This setting specifies the maximum number of days in advance that the room can be booked. Valid input is an integer between 0 and 1080. The default value is 180 days.
Maximum duration (hours): This setting specifies the maximum duration that the room can be reserved in a booking request. The default value is 24 hours.
For repeating booking requests, the maximum booking duration applies to the length of Exchange admin centerh instance of the repeating booking request.
There's also a box on this page that you can use to write a message that will be sent to users who send booking requests to reserve the room.
Contact Information
Use the Contact Information section to view or change the contact information for the room. The information on this page is displayed in the address book.
You can use the State/Province box to create recipient conditions for dynamic distribution groups, email address policies, or address lists.
Email Address
Use the Email Address section to view or change the email addresses associated with the room mailbox. This includes the mailbox's primary SMTP address and any associated proxy addresses. The primary SMTP address (also known as the reply address) is displayed in bold text in the address list, with the uppercase SMTP value in the Type column.
Add Click Add to add a new email address for this mailbox. Select one of following address types:
SMTP: This is the default address type. Click this button and then type the new SMTP address in the * Email address box.
EUM: An EUM (Exchange Unified Messaging) address is used by the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service to locate UM-enabled recipients within an Exchange organization. EUM addresses consist of the extension number and the UM dial plan for the UM-enabled user. Click this button and type the extension number in the Address/Extension box. Then click Browse and select a dial plan for the mailbox.
Custom address type: Click this button and type one of the supported non-SMTP email address types in the * Email address box.
With the exception of X.400 addresses, Exchange doesn't validate custom addresses for correct formatting. You must make sure that the custom address you specify complies with the format requirements for that address type.
When you add a new email address, you have the option to make it the primary SMTP address.
Automatically update email addresses based on the email address policy applied to this recipient: Select this check box to have the recipient's email addresses automatically updated based on changes made to email address policies in your organization.
Use the MailTip section to add a MailTip to alert users of potential issues before they send a booking request to the room mailbox. A MailTip is text that's displayed in the InfoBar when this recipient is added to the To, Cc, or Bcc lines of a new email message.
MailTips can include HTML tags, but scripts aren't allowed. The length of a custom MailTip can't exceed 175 displayed characters. HTML tags aren't counted in the limit.
Use Exchange PowerShell to change room mailbox properties
Use the following sets of cmdlets to view and change room mailbox properties: Get-Mailbox and Set-Mailbox cmdlets to view and change general properties and email addresses for room mailboxes. Use the Get-CalendarProcessing and Set-CalendarProcessing cmdlets to view and change delegates and booking options.
Get-User and Set-User: Use these cmdlets to view and set general properties such as location, department, and company names.
Get-Mailbox and Set-Mailbox: Use these cmdlets to view and set mailbox properties, such as email addresses and the mailbox database.
Get-CalendarProcessing and Set-CalendarProcessing Use these cmdlets to view and set booking options and delegates.
For information about these cmdlets, see the following topics:
Here are some examples of using the Exchange Management Shell to change room mailbox properties.
This example changes the display name, the primary SMTP address (called the default reply address), and the room capacity. Also, the previous reply address is kept as a proxy address.
Set-Mailbox "Conf Room 123" -DisplayName "Conf Room 31/123 (12)" -EmailAddresses SMTP:email@example.com,smtp:firstname.lastname@example.com -ResourceCapacity 12
This example configures room mailboxes to allow booking requests to be scheduled only during working hours and sets a maximum duration of 9 hours.
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -Filter "RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'RoomMailbox'" | Set-CalendarProcessing -ScheduleOnlyDuringWorkHours $true -MaximumDurationInMinutes 540
This example uses the Get-User cmdlet to find all room mailboxes that correspond to private conference rooms, and then uses the Set-CalendarProcessing cmdlet to send booking requests to a delegate named Robin Wood to accept or decline.
Get-User -ResultSize unlimited -Filter "(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'RoomMailbox') -and (DisplayName -like 'Private*')" | Set-CalendarProcessing -AllBookInPolicy $false -AllRequestInPolicy $true -ResourceDelegates "Robin Wood"
How do you know this worked?
To verify that you've successfully changed properties for a room mailbox, do the following:
In the Exchange admin center, select the mailbox and then click Edit to view the property or feature that you changed. Depending on the property that you changed, it might be displayed in the Details pane for the selected mailbox.
In Exchange PowerShell, use the Get-Mailbox cmdlet to verify the changes. One advantage of using Exchange PowerShell is that you can view multiple properties for multiple mailboxes. In the example above where booking requests could be scheduled only during working hours and have a maximum duration of 9 hours, run the following command to verify the new values.
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -Filter "RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'RoomMailbox'" | Get-CalendarProcessing | Format-List Identity,ScheduleOnlyDuringWorkHours,MaximumDurationInMinutes

Welcome back to another week of Free For All Friday!
but at least I'M RUNNING! heehee!! So I started a DIET this week. Normally that's a BAD word around our house. I hate talking about it. I hate thinking about it. This week I decided that IT'S TIME! I've been pinning exercise ideas, healthy food and workout music! My most favorite thing that I've pinned is this saying that is going on my wall!
neapolitan cookie brownies
If it's pretty and pink, it's calorie free!
tropical chocolate chip cookies
These are small, so the calories don't count!
cherry tiramisu
As long as you don't eat the whole pan,
it's probably good for you!
strawberry lemon yogurt cake
Made with strawberries AND lemons... double healthy!
Okay, so maybe I'm bending the rules just a bit! ;) I really am excited to start my goal this year... eating healthy, living healthy, finding myself again!!

I don't remember leaving it or losing it, but I drove over to the Nob Hill Market and realized it was missing when I got there. I immediately went back to Valero but I could not find it anywhere.
I asked in the little store if someone turned it in. The clerk was very sympathetic and said "No." It could not have been missing for more than 15 minutes, but it was gone.
I drove home and phoned the San Ramon Police to report it. I was told an officer would call me, but I spent the next two hours phoning and cancelling all of my Credit Cards. So if an officer called he/she probably got a busy signal.
Tuesday was Election Day. I voted about 10:30 am. Then I drove to the Police Station and filed a lost wallet report. The Officer gave me a brochure on Identity Theft and all of the potential things that could happen. He suggested I use the free online annual credit check but I already subscribe to Identity Protection through Farmers Insurance.
On my way home from the Police Station I stopped off at Bank of the West and opened a new checking account. My wallet was one of those checkbook kinds and I had just put in a new package of checks. I transferred most of the money from the old account to the new one, but two checks were still outstanding on the old account, so I left just enough in that account for a few days to cover them.
I tried to log into my Farmers Identity Shield but it kept rejecting my User ID. Finally I emailed my Farmers Agent and she told me Farmers changed providers and gave me a phone number to call. I don't remember receiving a notice that they changed, and they should tell the old provider to take the login screen off their website or put up a message that the accounts have been moved.
I registered on the new website and checked my credit and records and nothing had been changed or compromised. I still had to move my direct deposits from the old checking account to the new one and change any stored credit cards for any recurring charges. Some of them I just let drop.
I scheduled an appointment with the DMV for a replacement driver's license and called to get the form I needed to fill out mailed to me in advance. I went down to the DMV in Pleasanton last Tuesday and signed the form for the replacement. So now everything has been changed, corrected, cancelled or replaced. All of the old credit cards, debit cards, and checks in that wallet are toast.
The only things left in the wallet of any use to anyone are about $30 cash, a rebate check for $15 from Hills Prescription Diet for M/D Cat Food, and the wallet itself. The wallet looks similar to the Madison brown leather checkbook wallet on the Coach website. This lists for $238 there, but I paid under $60 for it at the Coach Outlet Store in Freeport, Maine four years ago. So it isn't worth much now either.
I'm disappointed that whoever picked up the wallet hasn't called me to tell me they have it or tried to return it. I found a French Purse in the Nob Hill Market parking lot almost exactly three years ago. In fact I wrote in my e-Planner on December 27, 2009 that I returned a wallet.
I saw the wallet on the ground on the way to my car. I picked it up and drove home and looked up the address in my DeLorme map program. It was on Woodland Valley Drive off of Summit View Road which is off of Old Ranch Road almost to Dougherty Road. It was dark when I drove over there. The house was near the top of the U shaped road from Summit View Road.
I felt a little awkward going up to a strange house after dark, but I thought the person who lost her wallet must be frantic. I rang the bell (or maybe I knocked I really don't remember all of these details), and a man answered the door.
I asked him if "Name in Wallet" lived here and he said she is his wife. I said I found her wallet. He yelled something to someone in the back of the house. His wife came to the door and took the wallet, looked it over and said "Thanks," and closed the door.
I was really expecting a much more appreciative, "Thank you, thank you so much, I was so worried about this." Everything was inside exactly the way I found it. Nothing was touched, taken, or moved. There was some cash in the wallet but I didn't count it (or don't remember). I just left it as I found it.
So what did I learn from my current and past experiences with missing wallets? One is to be more careful where I put things, especially things like my wallet or credit cards. Two is not to put all of my credit cards and checkbook in the same place at the same time. And three, sadly, I am more honest than whoever has my wallet now.

"Chrisley Knows Best" is a reality television series featuring millionaire Todd Chrisley and his family. The show takes place in Suwanee, north of Atlanta. A "patriarch of perfection," Todd runs his family just like his business – with an iron fist – and micromanages every move and expenditure made by each member of the Chrisley clan. But behind the façade of the family's fairy-tale like 30,000 square-foot home, real-life issues and lots of laugh-out-loud drama unfolds.
The show debuted on March 11, 2014 for 8 episodes. It was successful enough for the USA Network to order a 12-episode second season.

(CNN) -- Scientists hailed Tuesday a 47-million-year-old fossil of an ancient "small cat"-sized primate as a possible common ancestor of monkeys, humans and other primates.
The fossil is believed to be an ancestor of monkeys, humans and other primates.
Scientists say the fossil, dubbed "Ida," is a transitional species, living around the time the primate lineage split into two groups: A line that would eventually produce humans and monkeys, and another that would give rise to primates such as lemurs.
The fossil was formally named Darwinius masillae, in honor of the anniversary of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday.
"This is the most complete primate fossil before human burial," said Dr. Jorn Hurum, of the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo, who led the study of the fossil, a young female primate.
"And it's not a few million years old; it's 47 million years old," Hurum said, speaking at a news conference at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
The fossil was discovered in 1983 in the Messel Pit, Germany, near Frankfurt, and had been until recently in private collections, according to an article published Tuesday in the scientific journal PLoS ONE, a publication of the Public Library of Science. Read the report from PLoS ONE
However, because it was split into two parts, its significance was not immediately recognized.
An international team of scientists, which Hurum led, conducted a detailed forensic analysis of the fossil for the past two years, the release said.
Hurum nicknamed the fossil Ida after his young daughter, he said.
The fossil's body is nearly complete; only part of one leg is missing, according to Hurum. In addition to the bones, the softer features are also preserved, as are the remnants of its last meal: fruits, seeds and leaves, which were found in Ida's gut, according to the scientists.
"It's such a beautiful specimen," Hurum said of Ida. He said the fossil is about 2 feet long, "like a small cat in size."
The fossil has both adult and baby teeth, indicating that it was weaned and about 9 months old when it died, the PLoS article said.
She would have eventually grown to the size of a lemur, the article said.
The young primate fossil does not have two crucial anatomical features found in lemurs: a grooming claw on the second digit of its foot and a fused row of teeth in the middle of its lower jaw, known as a toothcomb, the scientists said.
X-rays revealed a broken wrist, which the team of scientists believe may have contributed to Ida's death, according to a news release from the museum at Oslo.
Ida may have been overcome by carbon dioxide gas while drinking from the Messel lake, which was often covered by a low-lying blanket of the gas, the news release said. Hampered by the broken wrist, the young primate may have fallen into unconsciousness and may have slipped into the lake. The primate sunk to the bottom and was preserved for 47 million years, the news release said.

Thursday, 30 January 2014
Maria Alyokhina, 25, and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 24, will speak at the concert organized by the human rights group on February 5 during their first trip to New York since being granted amnesty in December by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
They became international were symbols of human rights campaigners after being jailed in Russia for nearly two years.
'I am honored to introduce my fellow freedom fighters Masha and Nadya from Pussy Riot. I have admired their courage and have long supported their commitment and the sacrifices they have made in the name of free of expression and human rights,' Madonna said in a statement after posting the news on her Facebook page.
Amnesty announced that the pair, who were convicted in 2012 of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred after storming Moscow's biggest cathedral and beseeching the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of Putin, would attend the concert earlier this month. A third Pussy Riot member, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was freed when a judge suspended her sentence on appeal.
American alternative rock group Imagine Dragons, the Flaming Lips and R&B singer Lauryn Hill will perform at the Bringing Human Rights Home concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The event will resume a global concert series that Nobel Peace Prize-winning Amnesty International began 25 years ago, featuring rock greats such as U2, Bruce Springsteen, Sting and Lou Reed.

Clearance! FREE delivery.

This range hood is beautiful and quite silent in operation. I have had nothing but compliments on it.
{"one"=>"Select 2 or 3 items to compare", "other"=>"{{ count }} of 3 items selected"}
Very happy with the range hood. thank you
This is our second Victory Range Hood and very pleased as we were with the first. Highly recommend!
Looks great, works great,
The install was a little more than we thought but overall it's an excellent unit. The only problem with the RH is that when it's windy the attachment on the outside whistles so you have to put an extension on it.
The high setting actually sucked the filter crates upward. I had never seen anything like it.
working great, pretty quiet blower , but strong blower, much better than the crappy imported unit that we replaced that was only 2 years old
27 Inch Cabinet Insert Range Hood - Victory Q1
Very pleased with the process from order date to delivery. Would definitely recommend Victory for your range hood needs.
I HIGHLY recommend this range hood. We have low ceilings, so i looked for different options that would make them feel taller. This was the perfect pick and we'll worth the money.

CD8a Monoclonal Antibody (SK1), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™
Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
Supplier: Invitrogen 46008741
Description: The SK1 monoclonal antibody reacts with the human CD8a molecule, an approximately 32-34 kDa cell surface receptor expressed either as a heterodimer with the CD8 beta chain (CD8 alpha/beta) or as a homodimer (CD8 alpha/alpha). A majority of thymocytes and a subpopulation of mature T cells and NK cells express CD8a. CD8 binds to MHC class I and through its association with protein tyrosine kinase p56lck plays a role in T-cell development and activation of mature T cells. Applications Reported: This SK1 (SK-1) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This SK1 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.125 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. PerCP-eFluor™ 710 emits at 710 nm and is excited with the blue laser (488 nm); it can be used in place of PerCP-Cyanine5.5. We recommend using a 710/50 bandpass filter, however, the 695/40 bandpass filter is an acceptable alternative. Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochrome. Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (cat.00-8222) (100 µL cell sample + 100 µL IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (cat. 00-5333) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation. Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 710 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered. CD8 (Cluster of Differentiation 8) is a cell surface glycoprotein found on most cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediate efficient cell-cell interactions within the immune system. The CD8 antigen acts as a co-receptor with the T-cell receptor on the T lymphocyte to recognize antigens displayed by an antigen presenting cell (APC) in the context of class I MHC molecules. CD8 is found on a T cell subset of normal cytotoxic/suppressor cells which make up approximately 20-35 % of human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The CD8 antigen is also detected on natural killer (NK) cells, subpopulations of peripheral blood null cells, thymocytes and bone marrow cells. The CD8 co-receptor functions as either a homodimer composed of two alpha chains, or as a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of one alpha and one beta chain. Both alpha and beta chains share significant homology to immunoglobulin variable light chains. The majority of CD8+ T cells express CD8 as a alpha/beta heterodimer. In HIV, the HIV-2 envelope glycoprotein binds CD8 alpha chain (but not the beta chain).

The Red Sox will have to make do without pitcher Tim Wakefield for at least three weeks, after extensive tests revealed he has a stress fracture in his rib cage, a source with direct knowledge of the injury confirmed. ...
Barring a trade, the Sox plan to promote lefthander Kason Gabbard from Triple A Pawtucket. Gabbard, a 29th-round draft pick out of Indian River Community College in Florida in 2000, was something of a sleeper in the Sox' system, going 9-2 at Double A Portland before his promotion to Pawtucket last month. The lefthander is expected to start Saturday in Seattle.

How can you say that, Peter? His replacement is some nonentity fresh out of Portland...he was BEHIND David Pauley on the depth chart! The Sox HAVE to get a major league pitcher in the 4th and 5th slots.

francona said he might have slept on it wrong. i don't know how you fracture a rib by sleeping on it wrong, but ok.

I dont know... but I think this might actually be better than a bad back. Once the rib is healed its healed right? Its not like a bad back which could keep bothering him for the rest of the year.

An ABRSM practical exam is an exciting challenge for candidates and we do everything we can to make the experience positive and rewarding. Our examiners aim to put every candidate at ease and to create an atmosphere in which they can give their best performance.
Before the exam | During the exam | After the exam
At the exam venue
Our exams take place at a variety of different venues. We run many of these as ABRSM Public Venues.
Some candidates take their exams at venues organised by their school or teacher. We call this a 'Private Visit'. The school or teacher arranges this with us and is then responsible for providing everything for the exams on the day.
At ABRSM Public Venues there will be signs showing candidates where to go and a steward to welcome them. The steward makes a note that candidates have arrived, shows them to the waiting area, and warm-up room if available, then into the exam room at the right time. Candidates taking Grade 5 Jazz, a Grade 6 to 8 practical exam, Grade 5 or 8 Practical Musicianship or a diploma (including ARSM) will need to show some Photo ID when they arrive to take their exam. See our Candidate Indentification Policy for details. Our stewards and examiners work together throughout the day to make sure everything runs smoothly for candidates. Just like examiners, our stewards are there to help candidates to do their best.
In the waiting area
We usually ask candidates to arrive at least ten minutes before their exam. This can be more in some international centres.
Candidates can use this time to get their music ready, assemble their instrument, warm up or make a list of their pieces or songs to give to the examiner.
Warming up
Most exam preparation, practice and rehearsing takes place well before the exam day, but it is also important for candidates to have time to prepare and settle at the exam venue before their exam begins. This might include thinking about the music they are going to perform or warming up ready to play or sing.
A number of ABRSM Pubic Venues have a separate warm-up room, sometimes with a piano. If candidates want to use the warm-up room for a few minutes before their exam then the steward will organise this. If there is no warm-up room, candidates can warm up for a short time in the waiting area. However, if the exam room is very close to the waiting area it won't be possible to warm up aloud. In this situation, teachers and candidates need to think about ways to warm up instruments, fingers or embouchures silently.
Once in the exam room, all candidates are welcome to play or sing a few notes to warm up and our examiners encourage them to do this. This can be particularly helpful for pianists, who will want to try out the piano.
It's natural to feel nervous!
Some candidates will feel nervous before or during their exam. This is natural and is something that our stewards and examiners understand. With experience, many people learn how to deal with nerves and taking exams can actually help with this. Other ways to help include:
- accepting nerves as normal;
- performing regularly in front of others;
- taking mock exams;
- arriving in good time at the exam centre;
- taking a few calm breaths before the exam itself.

Mickey Rourke's Man Purse: A Bold Fashion Choice for Gross Gym Rats
First Lenny Kravtz carried a man purse, and I did not care, because he's Lenny Kravitz and was wearing high-heel boots, too. But then Mickey Rourke carried a man purse, and it was thrilling, because he's Mickey Rourke! Craggy-faced, greasy-haired, unquestionably heterosexual Mickey Rourke! Micky Rourke in sweatpants, a cowboy shirt, and a giant cold sore. Blister-lipped Mickey Rourke with a dainty purse in his hand. Yes, it's official, the man purse is here to stay.
Not here to stay: Flashy Prada sunglasses for men. Sorry, Mickey, but that's just tacky. [Images via Pacific Coast News]

ATLANTA (AP) - A woman who lost both hands, her left leg and right foot after contracting a flesh-eating disease has been fitted with prosthetic hands.
Ms Aimee Copeland, 25, was fitted with a pair of hands with 24 programmable functions that will improve her dexterity, her father, Mr Andy Copeland, told the Associated Press.
Ms Copeland, of Snellville, contracted a rare infection called necrotizing fasciitis in May 2012 after falling from a zip line and gashing her leg.
She spent two months at the Shepherd Center, a rehabilitation clinic in Atlanta, learning to move, eat and bathe without prosthetics.
She spent part of the week at Touch Bionics being fitted for the prosthetic hands that her father says will be controlled by her muscle movements and arm positions.
"All four days she sent us videos of things she could do," Mr Copeland said.
"The second day she was moving water between cups. On the third day she was cutting a cucumber. On the fourth day she was doing more typical things, like applying makeup to her face and more personal things."
Mr Copeland said the hands were given to Aimee in exchange for her serving as a Touch Bionics ambassador. He said Aimee is likely to begin looking for a prosthetic leg with a computer-controlled knee joint to allow for more natural movement than a mechanical one.
"I just really look forward to her regaining her confidence about certain things she's been unable to do," Mr Copeland said.
"Really I just want to see her enjoying life the way that she should."
Among other things, Mr Copeland said, the bionic hands will help his daughter learn to prepare meals from scratch, which she enjoyed doing before the amputations.

Heritage, a driver of development: Rising to the challenge. Results of the 17th ICOMOS General Assembly Symposium
From November 27 to December 2, 2011, nearly 1,200 professionals and experts active in the field of heritage gathered at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris for the Tri-Annual General Assembly of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). Simultaneously, the international symposium, "Heritage, a Driver of Development" was held at the same venue.
In addition to the 150 contributions selected for presentation at the Symposium, almost 270 contributors from around the world delivered analyses, proposals, points of debate, questions and original suggestions on four major themes: Heritage and Regional Development; Development and a Return to the Art of Building; Tourism and Development; and Development and the Economy.
The French Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites wanted to acknowledge the many outstanding ideas and debates characterising the Symposium, initially by providing not only a digital version of all the papers, reports and speeches delivered there (available on a CD-Rom included in this publication), but also an overview of the research presented, summarising its main points, conclusions and proposals. In this context, the importance of the "Declaration of Paris on Heritage as a Driver of Development", a doctrinal text for ICOMOS designed to provide a series of guidelines for heritage practices in a context of international development, is fully revealed.

PARIS – Mexico now has the third most COVID-19 deaths in the world, behind Brazil and the United States, where a hurricane bearing down on the East Coast on Saturday is threatening to complicate efforts to contain the virus.
Hurricane Isaias' imminent arrival forced the closure of some outdoor testing sites even though Florida has become a major hot spot, and other states in the path of the storm prepared emergency shelters that comply with social-distancing measures.
"We had to put safety first," Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said Friday.
But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said no immediate evacuation orders have been given and that hospitals in general are not being evacuated of coronavirus or other patients.
Meanwhile, Mexican health officials on Friday reported 688 new deaths, pushing the country's confirmed total to over 46,600. That put Mexico just ahead of the United Kingdom, which has more than 46,100, according to the tally by Johns Hopkins University.
Some countries are seeing hopeful signs: China reported a more than 50% drop in newly confirmed cases in a possible indication that its latest major outbreak in the northwestern region of Xinjiang may have run its course.
However, in Hong Kong and elsewhere, infections continue to surge. Hong Kong reported more than 100 new cases as of Saturday among the population of 7.5 million. Officials have reimposed dining restrictions and mask requirements.
Tokyo on Saturday saw its third day straight of record case numbers, the metropolitan government said. Nationwide, Japan's daily count of cases totaled a record 1,579 people Friday, the health ministry said.
And Vietnam, a former success story, is struggling to control an outbreak spreading in its most famous beach resort. A third person died there of coronavirus complications, officials said Saturday, a day after it recorded its first-ever death as it wrestles with a renewed outbreak after 99 days with no local cases.
All three died in a hospital in Da Nang, a hot spot with more than 100 cases in the past week. Thousands of visitors had been in the city for summer vacation and are now being tested in Hanoi and elsewhere.
Twelve additional cases were confirmed on Saturday, all linked to Da Nang Hospital. Officials tightened security and set up more checkpoints to prevent people from leaving or entering the city, which has been in lockdown since Tuesday.
A makeshift hospital was set up, and doctors have been mobilized from other cities to help.
"I want to be tested, so I can stop worrying if I have the virus or not," said Pham Thuy Hoa, a banking official who returned to the capital from Da Nang.
In South Korea, prosecutors arrested the elderly leader of a secretive religious sect linked to more than 5,200 of the country's approximately 14,300 confirmed cases. He has denied charges of hiding members and underreporting gatherings to avoid broader quarantines.
The global pandemic has affected nearly every aspect of this year's Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, with as few as 1,000 pilgrims already residing in Saudi Arabia taking part, down from 2.5 million last year.
Poverty brought on by the pandemic is also making it harder for many to join in the four-day Eid al-Adha, or "Feast of Sacrifice," in which Muslims slaughter livestock and distribute the meat to the poor.
"I could hardly buy food for my family," Somali civil servant Abdishakur Dahir said. "We are just surviving for now. Life is getting tougher by the day."
The Saudi Health Ministry said there have been no cases of COVID-19 among this year's pilgrims. All were tested, their movements monitored with electronic wristbands and required to be quarantined before and after.
Meanwhile, India recorded its steepest spike of 57,118 new cases in the past 24 hours, taking its coronavirus caseload close to 1.7 million, with July alone accounting for nearly 1.1 million infections.
The country's Civil Aviation Ministry delayed resumption of international flights by another month until Aug. 31. But it will continue to allow several international carriers from the United States, Europe and the Middle East to operate special flights to evacuate stranded nationals.
In France, travelers entering from 16 countries where the virus is circulating widely now must undergo virus tests upon arrival at airports and ports. The country is not permitting general travel to and from the countries, which include the United States and Brazil. The testing requirement therefore only applies to people entering under limited circumstances, including French citizens who live in these countries. Those who test positive as of Saturday must quarantine for 14 days.
As autumn approaches, nations around the world are grappling with how to safely reopen schools.
A scientist advising the British government on the coronavirus pandemic says pubs in England may have to be closed to allow schools to reopen in September. Graham Medley, a member of the government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, told the BBC that there may have to be a "trade off."
In Utah, the Salt Lake City School District Board of Education announced that its schools will start the year with all online-only classes in response to an increasing number of confirmed cases in the city. Just days after public schools around Indiana reopened their doors, at least one student and one school staff member in districts around Indianapolis have tested positive for the virus.
The debate over school openings came as Dr. Anthony Fauci dismissed a tweet by President Donald Trump claiming the U.S. global lead in coronavirus cases is because of increased testing.
Fauci said the scale of the U.S. outbreak is the result of multiple factors, including some states opening up too quickly and disregarding federal guidelines.
On Friday, the head of the World Health Organization predicted the effects of the pandemic will be felt for "decades to come."
"Most of the world's people remain susceptible to this virus, even in areas that have experienced severe outbreaks," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in London. "Although vaccine development is happening at record speed, we must learn to live with this virus."
Leicester reported from Le Pecq, France and McGuirk from Canberra, Australia. AP journalists around the world contributed to this report.
