Public water systems (PWSs) are regulated by the Ohio EPA Division of Drinking and Ground Waters (Ohio EPA DDAGW). Public water systems use either a ground water source, a surface water source or a ground water under the direct influence of surface water source. In Ohio, around 4,800 public water systems serve approximately 11 million people daily. Public water systems are required to monitor their water regularly for contaminants. Currently, more than 95 percent of community water systems meet all health-based standards. When a system doesn't meet a standard, consumers are notified.

drinking water advisories
In a typical community public water system, water is transported under pressure through a distribution network of buried pipes. Smaller pipes, called house service lines, are attached to the main water lines to bring water from the distribution network to your house.
In many community water systems, water pressure is provided by pumping water up into storage tanks that store water at higher elevations than the houses they serve. The force of gravity then "pushes" the water into your home when you turn on your tap.
Some water suppliers use treatment processes if it's necessary to remove contaminants from the drinking water. The most commonly used processes include filtration, flocculation, sedimentation and disinfection. If you want to know what types of treatment are used for your water supply, contact your local water supplier or public works department.
More information about where your drinking water comes from is also available.
A public water system is defined as a system that provides water for human consumption to at least 15 service connections or serves an average of at least 25 people for at least 60 days each year. This includes water used for drinking, food preparation, bathing, showering, tooth brushing and dishwashing. Public water systems range in size from large municipalities to small churches and restaurants relying on a single well.
Private water systems are regulated by the Ohio Department of Health. Private water systems are households and small businesses that serve fewer than 25 people per day 60 days out of the year, and are thus not public water systems (e.g., small bed and breakfasts, small day cares and small churches).
U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA use a multiple barrier approach to defend against waterborne pathogens and chemical contaminants in drinking water. Protection against contaminants occurs at each step from source to tap, beginning in the watershed or aquifer recharge area, continuing at the treatment facility and extending through the distribution system.
Selection of the best source of water available is an important step in protecting against contamination. For surface water sources, this means locating and constructing water intakes to ensure little or no contamination. For ground water sources, this means constructing wells in appropriate locations, at appropriate depths and with approved construction methods (e.g., casing and grouting).
Source Water Assessment and Protection helps public waters systems understand where the drinking water comes from, how contaminants can get into the water supply and how to protect the water from contamination at the source. Ohio EPA completes source water assessments for every public water system. Each assessment includes:
The results of the assessment can be used to organize, develop and implement a source water protection plan.
Plan approval ensures that the system is well-engineered and constructed to reliably protect finished water from contamination. The type of treatment required depends on the physical, microbiological and chemical characteristics and the types of contaminants present in the source water. Also, storage facilities and distribution systems must have full circulation and avoid stagnant water conditions that might facilitate contamination.
Sanitary surveys are routine inspections of public water systems to ensure proper construction and operation. The purpose of the sanitary survey is to evaluate and document the capabilities of a water system's sources, treatment, storage, distribution network, operation and maintenance and overall management to continually provide safe drinking water and to identify any deficiencies that might adversely impact a public water system's ability to meet applicable regulations and provide a safe reliable water supply.
Competent operating personnel are vitally important to the safety of drinking water. Ohio EPA's Operator Certification rules require that certain public water systems have a certified operator that is qualified to operate the system. To become a certified operator, a person must meet educational and experience requirements, pass an exam and maintain their certification through continuing education (contact hours).
U.S. EPA sets national limits on contaminant levels in drinking water to ensure that the water is safe for human consumption. These limits are known as maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). For some regulations, U.S. EPA has established treatment techniques in lieu of a MCL to control unacceptable levels of contaminants in water by measuring the level of treatment. To ensure drinking water safety, public water systems are required to test their water for contaminants on a regular basis. The tests must be conducted at laboratories that are certified to perform such testing.
Generally, the larger the population served by a water system, the more frequent the monitoring requirements. However, the frequency varies depending on which contaminant is being evaluated and the type of source water used by the public water system (e.g., surface water systems and systems that use ground water under the direct influence of surface water typically monitor more frequently than a ground water system). Monitoring requirements also vary by public water system type, which is based on how long a person is likely to have access to the water.
Typically, testing would be most limited at a church that people attend only once per week, more expanded at a school or office building, and most extensive in a village or city. This is because the health effects of some contaminants are acute, such as E. coli bacteria, meaning they have the potential to pose an immediate risk to health. Other health effects are chronic, meaning that adverse health effects may result if the contaminant is consumed over an extended period of time. Examples of contaminants with chronic effects include arsenic and lead. Some contaminants can aesthetically impact drinking water, meaning the effects are in appearance or odor. Examples of these contaminants include iron or sulfate.
Contaminants that may be tested for include:
More detailed information on specific contaminants can be found in the Common Contaminant Information section of the 'Monitoring' tab.
The majority of water testing shows that Ohio's drinking water meets standards. When water does not meet a standard, the public water system is required to inform its consumers of the results. Public notification is required to include a clear and understandable explanation of the nature of the violation, its potential adverse health effects, steps that the public water system is taking to correct the violation and the possibility for the need to obtain alternative water supplies during the violation. Notification is required within 24 hours for acute contaminants and within 30 days for chronic contaminants.
Additionally, all community public water systems are required to prepare a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) annually and distribute the report to their customers. The reports contain information on the community's drinking water, including the source of the water, the contaminants detected, the likely sources of detected contaminants, the health effects of contaminants when violations occur and the availability of source water assessments.
Finally, Ohio EPA's Drinking Water Use Advisories page is available to help make water testing results for health-related contaminants more accessible to the public.
Action level: The concentration of lead or copper in water that may trigger requirements for corrosion control, source water treatment, lead service line replacement and public education. Compliance with an action level is based on multiple samples.
Human consumption: The ingestion or absorption of water or water vapor as the result of drinking, cooking, dishwashing, hand washing, bathing, showering or oral hygiene.
Maximum contaminant level (MCL): The maximum allowable level of a contaminant in public drinking water. Most often, compliance with an MCL is based on an average of multiple samples.
Maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL): The maximum allowable level of disinfectant in public drinking water. Most often, compliance with an MRDL is based on an average of multiple samples.
Milligrams per liter (mg/L): Milligrams of contaminant per liter of drinking water.
Public water system (PWS): A system that provides water for human consumption to an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year, or has at least 15 service connections. This includes water used for drinking, food preparation, bathing, showering, tooth-brushing and dishwashing.
Community PWS: Serves at least 15 service connections used by year-round residents or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Examples include cities, mobile home parks and nursing homes.
Non-transient, non-community PWS: Regularly serves at least 25 of the same persons over six months per year. Examples include schools and businesses.
Transient, non-community PWS: Regularly serves at least 25 different persons over 60 days per year. Examples include restaurants and gas stations.

Public water system identification number (PWSID): A unique identifier for each public water system.
Secondary maximum contaminant level (SMCL): The advisable maximum allowable level of a contaminant in public drinking water.
Treatment technique: A method for treating water to achieve acceptable levels of contaminants in lieu of establishing a maximum contaminant level.
See Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3745-81-01 for additional definitions.
Public water systems are required to monitor their water regularly for contaminants. Currently, more than 95 percent of community water systems meet all health-based standards. When a system doesn't meet a standard, consumers are notified. Notifications may be in the form of signs or multimedia announcements. Advisories are also posted on the public drinking water advisories map.
Ohio's public water systems are required to monitor for a variety of contaminants on a regular basis, according to the system's monitoring schedule. When a public water system fails to monitor as required, Ohio EPA issues them a monitoring violation. Before issuing a violation to the system, Ohio EPA publishes a list of apparent monitoring violations, to give the system or the laboratory a final opportunity to submit sample results.
To view the list of systems that are on the current apparent violation list for missed monitoring, please click on the link below. This list contains the systems that do not have results submitted to Ohio EPA for the specified monitoring time period. Laboratories that have any of the missing results should submit the results to this office electronically as soon as possible in order to remove a system from the apparent violation list and prevent the system from receiving a violation letter. If you have any questions about this information, please contact the staff member indicated or call (614) 644-2752.
Ensure confidence in the quality of your water and save money by sampling on time. It costs an average of $25 for each total coliform sample and $20 for each nitrate sample. Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, failing to sample for total coliform or nitrate will cost you $150 or more in penalties for each monitoring violation. Save a Dime. Sample on Time!
To receive notifications by email, subscribe to the electronic mailing list.
Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs) must be prepared by community public water systems and distributed by July 1 annually. Public water systems that sell water to community public water systems must provide information that is necessary to complete their CCRs to the communities by April 1 annually. Please consult Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Chapter 3745-96 for the rules associated with CCRs.
Electronic delivery is one instrument that public water systems can use in order to meet the requirement to directly deliver their CCR to each customer.
For Electronic delivery the notification must reach all consumers and include:

This list contains labs and sampling services that can assist you with collecting and analyzing a water sample:
The following laboratories have been approved by Ohio EPA's Laboratory Certification program that ensures laboratories are able to perform accurate testing using U.S. EPA approved methods:
Total coliform bacteria are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other potentially-harmful bacteria may be present. If total coliform bacteria are present, the sample results will be "positive." "Negative" means total coliform bacteria are not present in the sample.
E. coli and fecal coliform bacteria are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, some of the elderly and people with severely compromised immune systems.
Nitrate is a chemical contained in fertilizer and human and animal wastes. Infants younger than six months who drink water containing high levels of nitrate could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring chemical. Some people who drink water containing high levels of arsenic over many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory systems and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
Total trihalomethanes are byproducts formed as a result of disinfection. Some people who drink water containing high levels of trihalomethanes over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys or central nervous systems and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
Haloacetic acids are byproducts formed as a result of disinfection. Some people who drink water containing high levels of haloacetic acids over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
Radionuclides are unstable forms of elements that break down over time and release radiation. Some people who drink water containing levels of radionuclides above the MCL may have an increased risk of having kidney damage or getting cancer.
Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are a variety of compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen. They are used as solvents, degreasers, cleaning solutions, dry cleaning fluids and components of pesticides and plastics. Some people who drink water containing levels of VOCs above the MCL may have an increased risk of having organ damage, cancer or blood and nervous system disorders.
A list of frequently asked questions is now available to assist manufacturers, retailers, regulators and the general public in complying with and understanding the requirements of the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act. The FAQs address the definition of lead free, the effective date, calculating lead content, third-party certification, product labeling, repair and replacement parts and exemptions.
Results of water samples are reported to Ohio EPA by public water systems and certified laboratories to demonstrate that the water meets health based standards. The Division of Drinking and Ground Waters has developed the electronic Drinking Water Reports (eDWR) program to assist in the reporting process. This program can be accessed through the Ohio EPA eBusiness Center, which is a secure portal for online business services. Please visit the eDWR web page for more information on reporting forms, submitting data and getting started with eDWR and the eBusiness Center.
Please note that the eDWR web page also includes various paper forms related to lead and copper, LT-2, chemical SSRs, microbiological SSRs, etc.

The Stage 2 Disinfection Byproduct Rule (Stage 2) was promulgated by U.S. EPA on Jan. 4, 2006, to provide increased protection for consumers against disinfection byproducts forming in the distribution system. Beginning on Jan. 1, 2012, the rule requires public water systems serving populations of 50,000 or more people to monitor at the locations and dates established during the Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE).
The rule additionally requires all public water systems to develop and implement a sample monitoring plan for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and five haloacetic acids (HAA5). The TTHM and HAA5 monitoring plans shall be maintained and a copy should be available for review by Ohio EPA and the public. Any distribution changes should be updated in the plan as soon as possible following the changes.
Ohio Adminstrative Code (OAC) Rule 3745-81-24(C) requires all public water systems monitoring for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) and Haloacetic Acids, five (HAA5) to meet Operational Evaluation Levels (OELs).
Operational Evaluation Levels are determined each monitoring location by summing the two previous quarters' results with twice the current quarters' result and dividing by four to determine an average. An Operational Evaluation Level exceedance occurs when this average exceeds the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for either TTHM (0.080 mg/L) or HAA5 (0.060 mg/L).
A public water system exceeding an Operational Evaluation Level at one or more locations in the distribution system shall submit a complete "Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Operational Evaluation Level Report" (Ohio EPA Form 5031) to the appropriate Ohio EPA district office within 90 days of notification of an Operational Evaluation Level exceedance.
In preparing Ohio EPA Form 5031, a public water system may wish to consult the Ohio EPA fact sheet or the U.S. EPA Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule Operational Evaluation Guidance Manual for assistance. The document reference is EPA 815-R-08-018.
Asset management has many different definitions — in the end it boils down to getting the most out of your assets at the lowest cost to the system. In other words, a water system should be servicing assets frequently enough that they are doing what they are meant to, without spending more time or money than is necessary to achieve those results.
The Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 6109.24 requires all public water systems to implement an asset management program by Oct. 1, 2018. The Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3745-87 are the Asset Management Program rules that outline what is required to be in a public water system's program.
To help water systems implement these requirements, Ohio EPA is offering interest-free Asset Management Planning loans. Nominations for these loans will be accepted at any time. The loan terms will be five years with up to $10,000 of principal forgiveness. Email Susan Schell or Emily Pohlmeyer or call (614) 644-2752 for questions or more information about the loans or asset management program requirements.
This webpage will be updated periodically with new information and training opportunities.
Asset management is one way to improve the capability of the state's water systems and improve the quality of service they provide. Senate Bill 2 requires all public water systems to have an asset management program in place by Oct. 1, 2018.
To be effective, asset management programs must be dynamic and adequately funded. Levels of service and metrics will be used to ensure that the asset management program is being implemented. Ohio EPA will review the unique levels of service for each water system and, at the time of review, the water systems must show progress toward their levels of service. All water systems would also be required to track and maintain a defined set of metrics. Metrics would differ depending on the type of water system. Water systems should continue to improve on metrics each year.
The purpose of requiring an asset management program is to cut down on the number of disruptions in service due to lack of maintenance and planning. The asset management rules require that all public water systems have an asset management program. The rules include specificity on what is required in an asset management program.
The asset management program rules will require all public water systems to have a written asset management program available for on-site inspection; however, some water systems may be asked for a demonstration of their asset management program in more detail if they are seeking a loan, going through enforcement, or are otherwise struggling with capability issues.
To demonstrate managerial capability, the rules would call for the following information. Together these items can give a water system information they need to manage their system.
Technical capability would be demonstrated with the following:
The third major component of the asset management program rules will be financial capability. The following will be required in an asset management program:
The Division of Drinking and Ground Waters (DDAGW) has proposed revisions to the rules in Chapters 3745-81, 3745-87, and 3745-92 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) to Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR). The proposed amendments based in part on the new and amended language in sections 6109.02, 6109.08 and 6109.24 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Ohio EPA will be holding a public hearing on the revised rules on September 27, 2018 at 10.30 a.m. at Ohio EPA Central office, Columbus, Ohio. Please see the public hearing notice, response to comments, proposed rule language and the Business Impact Analysis (Linked below) for information on the changes and how to submit comments/attend the hearing.
The following templates are subject to change and will be finalized after the rules become final.
Applicable Guidance
For questions related to specific public water systems, please contact the local Ohio EPA District Office of the Division of Drinking and Ground Waters or contact the public water system directly.
Please see the Engineering webpage for the most current versions of these documents.

Noisebridge Tor
Noisebridge wants to run some Tor nodes. We have a bunch of sysadmins and Tor admins who want to run the system, and we have a bunch of donors who want to give Noisebridge money to run Tor nodes.
Current consensus request
- a @noisebridge.net email address
- a wiki page describing the project (perhaps this one, once we are up and running)
- a Wells Fargo bank account under the Noisebridge nonprofit account
- a Paypal account to accept donations.
Open Questions
- Kelly would like the Noisebridge Tor project to designate a specific individual as financial officer for the Noisebridge Tor project, to be responsible for the bank account and provide periodic reports. Shannon has volunteered to fulfill this role.
- Kelly would like a summary of why the above scenario is the best, comparing and contrasting other scenarios:
- a Noisebridge Paypal account not connected to any bank account
- a Noisebridge Paypal account connected to a non-Noisebridge bank account
- a non-Noisebridge Paypal account (connected to a bank account or not)
- WePay account with bank account
- WePay account with no bank account
- bank account with bank other than Wells Fargo
- Rachel Lyra is concerned about thinking through the precedent this sets for a fiscal sponsorship model for noisebridge. She believes some documentation is necessary for this project to proceed:
- spell out what the noisetor project expects from noisebridge and what it intends to do in return.
- a document, conceptually a contract but needn't be in legalese. the parties to the contract are noisebridge and the sponsored entity. the entity meets, forms, functions however it likes. noisebridge makes an agreement with that entity or a representative of it. this agreement states what the relationship will entail, ie rights requirements and responsibilities on either side.

Happy Halloween guys! If you are on the East coast I hope you are doing well! Just a quick post today, I wanted to try this design but I didn't have much time plus I have a nasty break on my index nail so I ended up only doing the eyes on one. The base is China Glaze Cast A Spell and the eyes are done with acrylic paint.
And bonus pictures of our pumpkins we carved and our dog, Sasha, dressed as a wolf in sheep's clothing for Halloween!
Do you celebrate Halloween? If you do, what are your plans?

Given those unrealistic expectations, it's safe to say that I've been completely underwhelmed to date - more my own fault than the Beest's, to be sure - but a $20M payroll cut (however you'd like to position it) didn't exactly do a whole lot for consumer confidence.
So this morning I'm skimming through the usual plethora of bullshit spring training stories, when I came across this fairly nondescript article. Nondescript, that is, except for this little nugget discussing the draft and player development:
The Blue Jays, under interim CEO Paul Beeston, intend to become even more aggressive in that regard by employing a new willingness to pay signing bonuses above Major League Baseball recommendations. That was a big no-no under old president Paul Godfrey and the shift in philosophy may help Ricciardi secure more high-end talent.
"That's definitely going to be an area we look at differently," said Ricciardi. "The gloves are off."
The Blue Jays going over slot in the draft?
I'd tell you that I'm speechless, but that wouldn't make for much of a post now, would it? Instead, I'll tell you that this is exactly the kind of strategy a team should be employing if they can't (or won't) compete on payroll at the major league level - or maybe more specifically, in the AL East.
I suppose we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, because seeing is believing when your GM has a penchant for, how shall we say, half-truths. The draft goes the first week of June. You're on the clock, JP.
If you're not following Jeff Blair's exhibition game live blogging, you should be
.....and I'm here to tell you why. I've followed along for the last few games via the Globe site, and here are a few pearls of wisdom somewhat innocuously passed along by ol' Blairsy:
- Reclamation project #2,426 Matt Bush possesses a nails slider, and the team thinks he can be a contributor given enough innings in the minors
- While Cecil is the guy getting all the pub - everyone in management loves them some Brad Mills
- Buck Martinez despises Blair - for calling him the worst manager he's ever covered (awesome)
- Blair hints the Jays will move a relief arm before the season, and later subtly drops that the Jays like Tigers minor league SS Mike Hollimon. Hmm....Jason Frasor and Johnny Mac (I just have a bad vibe about Mac's place on the team) for Mike Hollimon?
- Re: "more on that later" - per Blair (via Pat Gillick - presumably over cocktails, eh Blairsy?), there's nothing "interim" about Beeston's role as prez.....
On the downside, Blair indicates that he thinks the Jays could be the 2nd worst team in the AL, and in his estimation, Snider is probably only good for 15-18 HR this season.
Oh well, it can't be all shits and giggles. Besides, with the team's newly aggressive draft strategy, JP can put that 2010 top-5 pick to good use instead of focusing on my least favourite prospect characteristic - signability.
See how it all ties together?

Filed under: News | Tags: Baltimore City Senators, Baltimore House of Representatives, Mike Tidwell, Stop Going Green
Stop Going Green
Baltimore environmentalist and executive director of Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Mike Tidwell, made national news this week as a result of his essay To Really Save The Planet, Stop Going Green published in the Washington Post. Many on the left and the right have used the title of the essay as fodder for rants on talk shows, blogs, etc., however, at the core of all the fuss is a well thought out article appointed with a provocative title. In it Tidwell explains that, despite the fact green mania appears to have taken hold ("Look honey, another Vanity Fair Green Issue!"), very few of us are actually taking action.

Even today, only 10 percent of our household light bulbs are compact fluorescents. Hybrids account for only 2.5 percent of U.S. auto sales.

We are proud and happy to announce that a new free malware analysis online service is born.
Malwr.com is based on Cuckoo Sandbox, a project mentored by the Honeynet Project, sponsored by GSoC and developped by Claudio "nex" Guarnieri (@botherder), Dario Fernandes and Alessandro "jekil" Tanasi (@jekil). Malwr.com hosting is provided by ShadowServer.
If you want to test Cuckoo's flavor before installing it or if you're too lazy to deploy your own sandbox, just go there ! :-)
Cuckoo Sandbox 0.3.1 has been released.
The most interesting improvements include:
Client honeypots are tools that actively search servers for malicious data like malware, exploits, malicious PDF files, etc.
The Polish Chapter just released a new version of Capture-HPC originally developed by Christian Seifert and Ramon Steenson of the New Zealand Chapter. Capture-HPC focuses primarily on attacks against, or involving the use of, Web browsers.
It is available for download as binary Debian package on Polish Chapter webpage:

- You might also be looking for Phlox, the Denobulan doctor from Enterprise NX-01.
Phlox was a member of the Hierarchy.
While engaging in a reconnaissance mission in 2376, Phlox detected the USS Voyager, but instead of interfacing with its sensors, he interfaced with The Doctor instead. At the time, The Doctor was experiencing daydreams, which made Phlox believe that the exaggerated things The Doctor was thinking of were real.
When data of the events were transferred to the Hierarchy, an attack was planned. When Phlox realized that what he saw were daydreams, he was afraid to tell his superiors because they didn't tolerate mistakes and he was afraid he would be punished. Phlox felt that he had gotten to know The Doctor, and he warned Voyager of the alien attack. Due to this action, The Doctor was able to stop the attack and prevent Phlox from being punished for his mistakes. (VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy")

General Tips
We chose three colors of Minkee Gelato from Benartex for this scarf. Create an even fluffier neck warmer by choosing a knit-back fleece with longer pile.
Make your scarf as long as you want by adding extra 3-1/2x6-1/4" rectangles to the rows. Be sure to add extra length to binding as well. For an even quicker finish, use a continuous length of fleece for the reverse side.

As many of you know, I'm a big advocate of self-publishing, especially via ebooks, and on platforms such as Amazon.com. The possibilities that new do-it-yourself technology are opening for authors and readers are stunning.
Consider the emerging opportunities in "enhanced ebooks": "You can incorporate mixed media, such as video, audio, pictures, maps and interactive content. Best of all it's in full color, so it allows for more vibrant content."
Believe me, you will not recognize what a "book" will become in the near future. Imagine reading an ebook spy thriller, then being able to click on links that provide full dossiers on the characters, or Google Map street views of locations, encyclopedia entries on weapons and gadgets, video or audio interviews with the author . . . The possibilities are boundless.
Exciting times ahead, folks!

Master planning is about making a roadmap for the future of a place. It's about deciding where you want to go and charting a path to get there. The Champlain College master plan was completed in March 2007. The planning process was an opportunity for students, faculty, administrators, and trustees to work together to identify a common vision for Champlain's future. It also provided opportunities for Champlain to build stronger relationships with neighbors, institutions, and with city officials.
The vision of this master plan is to support Champlain's future growth as a flexible, desirable, and attractive institution without negatively impacting either the residential and historic character or the high quality of life on The Hill.

WASHINGTON — Revelations that Timothy Geithner failed to pay some of his taxes have derailed Democrats' efforts to install him quickly as President-elect Barack Obama's treasury secretary, but senators in both parties say his tax problems won't torpedo his chances for confirmation.
Obama said Wednesday that the disclosures that Geithner had failed to pay $34,000 in taxes between 2001 and 2004 were embarrassing, but added that Geithner's "innocent mistake" shouldn't keep him from taking the helm of the new administration's urgent efforts to revive the economy. Several Republicans agreed that Geithner would get Senate approval and said their party had little appetite for a partisan fight at a precarious time for the economy.
GOP opponents of Geithner should "think this through," said Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah., a member of the Senate Finance Committee that's considering his nomination. "They're not going to get anybody better than him from this administration for treasury secretary."
Still, Senate Republicans, who have been mostly deferential to Obama's nominees, are blocking Democrats' efforts to fast-track Geithner's nomination through the committee, with at least one panel member saying his tax problems deserved greater scrutiny.
Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., another Finance Committee member, "did not feel it was appropriate to rush forward with the hearing this week in light of the late-breaking information," his spokesman, Mike Reynard, said. "He wanted more time to carefully consider" the disclosures. Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Senate Republican, also was objecting, aides said.
Obama had hoped for approval by Tuesday, but given the GOP objections, senators scheduled Geithner's confirmation hearing for next Wednesday, with Senate debate and a vote sometime after that.
Video: Obama: Embarrassing moment for Geithner "Is this an embarrassment for him? Yes. He said so himself. But it was an innocent mistake," Obama said. "My expectation is that Tim Geithner will be confirmed."
In the meantime, Stuart Levey, the Treasury Department's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, has agreed to stay on until the Senate confirms a replacement for Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, according to a government official with knowledge of the situation but unauthorized to speak publicly.
Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee are backing Geithner, who's engaged in an intense damage control effort, including numerous phone calls to senators, to persuade them that his tax problems were the result of innocent errors, not deliberate attempts to avoid paying the Internal Revenue Service.
"It's an honest mistake," said Sen. Max Baucus, the Montana Democrat who chairs the committee, adding that Geithner's confirmation was "a given."
Video: Kerry: Geithner made 'honest mistake' GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was among those coming to Geithner's defense.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
"These are huge times. Now is not the time to think in small political terms," Graham said. "I don't see any desire by the Republican Party to play gotcha on this. ... I think he's the right guy."
Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the senior Finance Committee Republican, said Geithner's tax troubles were "disconcerting" given that the New York Federal Reserve president was auditioning for a post in which his considerable powers would include control of the IRS, but not necessarily "disqualifying."
The flap all but guarantees that Geithner's confirmation hearing will feature a grilling about his tax errors.
He failed to pay self-employment taxes for money he earned from 2001 to 2004 while working for the International Monetary Fund, according to materials released by the Finance Committee on Tuesday.
He paid some of the taxes in 2006, after an IRS audit discovered the discrepancy for taxes paid in 2003 and 2004. But it wasn't until much later — days before Obama tapped him to head treasury late last year — that Geithner paid back most of the taxes, incurred in 2001 and 2002. He did so after Obama's transition team found that Geithner had made the same tax mistake his first two years at the IMF as the one the IRS found he made during his final two years there.
Despite the disclosures, several committee Republicans appeared to be leaning toward backing Geithner. Hatch called the tax problems "a mistake that a human being can make."
Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., said he didn't foresee trouble for the nominee, and Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said he'd probably vote to confirm Geithner.

Pop star Nick Carter has taken a break from his honeymoon to slam 'N Sync star Joey Fatone after he claimed the Backstreet Boys are still together because they need the money.
Fatone was taking part in a live chat with The Huffington Post when he was asked for his opinion on the fact that Backstreet Boys are still touring 21 years after they first shot to fame.
He said, "I feel like they just need the money. No offense, guys. But I'm saying, if you think about it, it's like, 'Why are you coming back out again?'"
Carter heard about the slight while on his honeymoon with new wife Lauren Kitt, and he has expressed his disappointment at his pop peer's remarks.
In a post on Twitter.com, he writes, "Just disappointed, I really liked Joey… I'm proud of who we are and love what we stand for. Truthfully it's about not letting our fans down. Sorry bro but you have us all wrong. Now let me go back to enjoying my honeymoon."

Federal Special Status Species
Federal Endangered Species
Endangered Species
Special Status Information
The purpose of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is to conserve threatened and endangered species and their ecosystems. A species is considered endangered if it is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
Two federal agencies, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), are responsible for maintaining lists of species that meet the definition of threatened or endangered under the ESA. NMFS is responsible for maintaining the endangered species list for most marine species and managing those species once they are listed. The USFWS is responsible for maintaining the endangered species list for terrestrial and freshwater species, as well as three marine species: polar bear, Pacific walrus, and sea otter, and for managing those species once they are listed. NMFS and USFWS must determine if any species is endangered because of any of the following factors:
- The present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat of range;
- Overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes;
- Disease or predation;
- The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms;
- Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence.
All states contain species that are listed as endangered under the ESA. Some states are home to hundreds of endangered species. Alaska has relatively few species designated as endangered by NMFS and USFWS, with fewer than 15 species currently listed as endangered. Many species that are rare, endangered, or have been extirpated elsewhere in the United States are thriving in Alaska. Our geographical isolation, relatively recent growth in population, limited development, small agricultural industry, conservative laws on the introduction and importation of exotic animals, and a little luck, all contribute to this favorable condition.
Alaska's primary advantage has been the state's remoteness and isolation. Alaska was still a sparsely populated Russian territory when many wildlife species elsewhere were hunted to extinction or lost due to industrial and agricultural development and a lack of knowledge about habitat requirements. Thanks to advances in science and increased awareness Alaskans have avoided many mistakes of the past.
The listing of a species as endangered makes it illegal to "take" (harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, collect, or attempt to do these things) that species. Federal agencies may be allowed limited take of species through interagency consultations with NMFS or USFWS. Non-federal individuals, agencies, or organizations may be granted limited take through special permits with conservation plans. Adverse effects on listed species must be minimized, and in some cases conservation efforts are required to offset the take.
Critical Habitat
Critical habitat is defined as "specific areas within the geographical area occupied by the species at the time of listing, if they contain physical or biological features essential to conservations, and those features may require special management considerations for protection" and "specific areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species if the agency determines that the area itself is essential for conservation."

Founder and Editor of the blog FBomb Julie Zeilinger '15 spoke with Chelsea Clinton on "The Digital Lives of Girls" panel during the Women in the World Summit, a production of Newsweek and The Daily Beast. The discussion was devoted to how young, socially conscious women are using the Internet to spur innovation. Watch an excerpt of the panel during which Zeilinger talks about defining feminism here.
The Daily Beast also profiled Zeilinger and her efforts in "Championing Teenage Feminism-One Blog Post at a Time." An excerpt:
"Zeilinger understands that what she does helps young women, many of whom might not come to feminism otherwise, and she loves the interaction with real girls through posts, comments, tweets, and speaking engagements. But the most meaningful interaction she's had, she says, was with a young Jordanian girl who wrote for FBomb about hijabs and honor killings. Fearing for her own safety, the girl wrote under a pseudonym to disguise her liberated feminist writings from her insular community. Zeilinger says publishing these writings is the most rewarding moment of her work with FBomb to date."

Privacy Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Opaque products to maintain privacy
- Routeless slats avoid light seepage
- Add a liner for increased opaqueness
- Layer coverings for light versatility
- Good for bed, bath & streetside rooms
Privacy blinds and shades are opaque, or non-transparent, enough to prevent view-through, even when backlit. Perfect for rooms facing the street or a neighbor, privacy shades or routeless blinds are perfect for keeping the inside of your home hidden. Some blind styles, such as woven woods, will require an added privacy liner to provide the extra opacity needed. We also recommend choosing a top down/bottom up lift option or layering your treatments, like a faux wood combined with drapery, to best balance your light control and privacy needs. While these products will block view-through, they will not necessarily block all light like our blackout shades.

Well if talking UC, conventional MS weaponry starts with 120mm machine guns. Probably not that effective against Destroyer armor. You put in beam weaponry and beam sabers and I am sure they would be carving up BETA for lunch. But again it depends on era/AU.

The fanfics i ve read being a SRW Alpha 3 crossover. In that particular fanic, the author generally have the UC era gundams do good against the BETA until they run out of E-packs on their beam rifle, or when their head vulcans run out of ammo and they get swarmed by Tank classes. Seed CE era Phase-shift can survive the tanks quite well provided their batteries last. I-field are somewhat weak against lasers since BETA lasers are not Minovsky particle based beams. after colony wing series Gundams can survive the lasers class for a bit due to the insane heat resistance of the Gundanium alloy it helps that their pilots are all god tier experts in hit and run. Macross Valkyries do well in there Gerwalk mode since they all have unlimited flight time plus unrivaled 3 dimensional maneuverability in tight spaces allowing them to hover over the BETAs and dance all over the place. Evangelions are pretty godlike against the BETA clasees with their AT-fields but if exposed in the open where thousands of Magnus LUX lasers can target them, then their AT-fields will collapse just like when the evas fought Ramiel.
Orginal generation units like the R-series and other OG original units also do pretty good in close quarters due to all of them using tesla-drives and other various EOT Balmar, T-link technology that lets them maneuver without obeying the laws of momentum and conservation of energy.
Also "Real men ride each other"= BETA pwnage. Zankantou that cleaves evil and Trombe over ride, I ain't gona explain shit.
There is just so much shit in this fic its ridiculous. sadly its in Japanese, though someone did translated into Chinese as well.
The fic in question is called Muvluv: to the end of the galaxy.
It crosses muvluv unlimited+TDA with Post SRW Alpha3 Cobray route. The author try to use some"realisim", such as many of the weapons and attacks are not allowed to be used while within or around earth(you can guess which ones.) its post final mission true end in @3 after fighting off Keisar Ephes that when The alpha numbers attempted to jump back to their original time space with the power of Irui Gun-eden and Ideon that they got sent to the Muvluv unlimited TDA verse instead . So almost all units are damaged to some degree or outright unusable and running low on ammo after the Keisar ephes fight. Of course many of these repairs and resupply will be difficult or straight up impossible to acquire in muluv earth.
For the MLU side, its after the evacuation of the colony ships but before the global G-bombing phase of op Babylon. Takeru gets meiya's 00R repainted in black. the valkyries and 207 are around but disbanded and spread out all over the world. Marimo is back to being a major in the IJA and eventually gets her own battalion affiliated with the UN curiously named "Wardog" battalion which will get many members who we are familiar with from the various TDA and chronicle side stories. Also the Americans are scheming something huge with the the arrival of the alpha numbers. Cobray and Dis Astragant choose to TIME DIVE into extra before Time diving again into Alternative.
the following is the translated teaser i did using various quotes from the Fic for /m awhile ago. see if you can guess who is saying what.
also yuuko destroys her office in rage like 18 times from just even trying to understand the various bullshit workings and energy source of the various SRW units. The real type she could somewhat understand and rationalize their theory, but stuff like the Ide, Getter ray, J-jewel/G-stone, Tetragrammaton and other Super-Robot Not!Magictek science makes her want to blow her brains out.

With what happened and what's going to happen to the shogun after this battle... well, my guess is that the government itself will change the system. It's kinda long shot, but Ikaruga keep saying the 'new world' so maybe that's what he's really after?
He's been pretty antagonistic in this arc though

Do you thin those flashes that Takeru keeps getting is a premonition of his future (like the part where he almost get shot down by Zuikaku or those laser-class betas in carrier's mouth) or is it another memory of him in another cycle where he ends up losing his life as a result of those premonition?

Saranda clicked on the screen but there was no message. She sighed iwth slight dissapointment as she loved to read about the little fishing community on the outskirt of Jakarta where Tri lived, but she knew that was not always easy for her to get to computer. Looking at the earlier sent images of the island's paradise lost in the lavish green palms she felt sudden surge to be there. She had no idea that soon one of those peaceful islands would be engulfed in terror. Once she would visit Tri, she thought. Once she would come back to Kosovo to visit Grannys grave, once when there would be no more war...
"Saranda, phone, where are you?" Dardon't exciting voice disturbed her thinking.
"Coming," she shouted rushing to living room: "Who is it?" she mimicked at Dardon.
"Find for yourself," he only grimaced at her cheeckily and rushed off. She could stand him less and less and it seemed to her that by growin up they also grew more and more apart. She picked up the receiver: "Hello...Jack!" She gasped without knowing what to tell.
"Just checking in how you going," he paused: "Have you seen Kathy?"
"No, last time in hospital, I reckon she is back home with all her family around her..."
"She is not there any more, I popped in yesterday," he swore quietly, "I reckon patched herself up and back on steet."
"Kathy will be allright," Saranda tried to cheer him up.
"Sure, by the way, today's surf was a real ripper, the waves biggest I 've seen in ages, I thought you
would like to try..."
"Surfing," Saranda gulped: "Never done it in my life, it's starting to be cold again.
"Never cold up there, you should see a bunch of yahoos I had there today," Jack continued: "I do some surfing lessons for pocket money, so I don't need to ask old man for any favours..."
"Hmm," she sighed in the receiver unsure what to say.
"I go, any way, you there sometimes next week, it's top of the wozza, but only early in the morning."
"Okey," she replied quietly.
And she was, the first thing in the morning, next Satruday, excusing herself from home to see Doha urgently due to school assignment.
The water was cold and she shivered in grey stillness around her. The ocean was quiet and all sounds were hushed in this early hours. She started to walk along the water edge not knowing what to do. She forgot to ask him about the place assuming as always their beach. But today it looked different here, somehow ghostly without life.
The fresh wind blew from the ocean swirling mirror like surface and Saranda speeded up in an attempt to warm herself up. Her legs started to ache and she was about to turn back when a grey blob on the shore caught her interest.
It could be a whale, she thought while squirting her eyes to see it better. Closing her distance she recognized a human figure. She speeded up again and approached a middle-aged woman covered in sand trying to dig a hole under trapped dolphin.
Without question Saranda kneeled on other side and with all her might kept digging under this cold silvery still body. Near the exhaustion she supported her head for a while on that slippery back looking straight into deeply sad eye of stranded animal.
It prompted her to dig and push more.
"Push," clenched her teeth the woman opposite and she followed the order as hard as she could. When finally the animal moved slowly in low water, Saranda slipped and fell down into the cold water. In desperate need of rest she barely felt gentle waves washing over her. Saranda turned her head slowly to watch the woman over the waist in the water urging the dolphin to swim away.
Finally she came over and got hold of her: "We did it."
Saranda sighed and struggled in the water to stand up.
"We did it," she shouted again and hugged approaching Saranda, who smiled shyly at her.
"Yes, it's great."
The woman nodded and waved her good bye, starting to jog along the beach in the opposite direction. Saranda stood there for a while, until the dripping clothes made her shiver and she dragged slowly back.
Approaching George's house she noticed his car leaving in a distance. Saranda paused for a moment, looking at her wet sandy hair and clothes. Finally she moved on and rang a bell. When Jack opened the door in utter surprise she threw herself nto his arm with two words: "I saved a dolphin."

Florida manatees dying at record pace
A record number of manatees have died in the state this year. The (Fort Myers, Fla.) News-Press is rerunning this video by reporter Kevin Lollar made in April during a record-setting die-off in Southwest Florida.
The Save the Manatee Club says 769 endangered sea cows have died so far this year in Florida waters.
MELBOURNE, Fla. -- Toxic, oxygen-depleting algae blooms are killing manatees at a record-breaking pace this year in Florida, biologists say.
Through Tuesday, 769 endangered sea cows have died so far this year across the Sunshine State, the Save the Manatee Club reported. That constitutes Florida's largest annual manatee die-off since record-keeping began, with two more months left to go.
The previous record of 766 documented dead manatees was set in 2010. That's when hundreds succumbed to cold stress during an unusually chilly winter and spring, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists determined.
"Here we are, just a few years later. And now we've broken that record, which we thought probably would never be broken," said Patrick Rose, Save the Manatee Club executive director.
"With two really bad years, we're quite concerned about where we are with the population, and what needs to be done to protect it going forward," Rose said.
The Fish and Wildlife commission's annual aerial winter survey counted a record 5,077 manatees in 2010. That was before the cold-related deaths started, Rose said.
For comparison's sake, this year's toll so far is nearly double last year's total of 392 confirmed manatee deaths, FWC reported. In 2011, 453 Florida manatee deaths were reported.
Two "unusual mortality events" are prime contributors to this year's unprecedented losses, said Katie Tripp, Save the Manatee Club's director of science and conservation.
One is a toxic red-tide bloom that killed 276 manatees this winter and spring in southwest Florida. The poisonous bloom was centered in the Fort Myers-Cape Coral region.
The other event is the still-unexplained Indian River Lagoon die-off that has claimed more than 100 manatees in Brevard County. In total, Rose said more than 220 manatees have died of various causes this year in Brevard, but these mysterious 100-plus deaths appear to be triggered by "an acute intestinal event" caused by feeding changes, bacteria or virus.
One precursor was a massive 2011 algae "superbloom" that killed 47,000 acres of lagoon seagrass — the manatees' primary food source. Consecutive cold winters and extended drought, coupled with a decades-long buildup of nitrogen and other contaminants, may have shocked the ecosystem into one dominated by algae, rather than seagrass.
In a troubling statewide trend, 123 of this year's manatee victims were stillborn, newborn or young calves less than 5 feet long, the manatee conservation group reported. At least 49 of these deaths occurred in Brevard.
Rose said wildlife officials were able to rescue, rehabilitate and release 15 manatees that were sickened by this year's Gulf Coast red-tide outbreak.
"Their risks are accelerating. Those risks to their habitat — seagrass loss and strains on the aquifer and the springs — are actually getting more alarming moving forward," Rose said of the species.

LITTLE ROCK — A bill that would exclude sexual offenses and other serious felonies from eligibility for mandatory parole was filed Thursday.
Three other bills designed to amend Act 570 of 2011, the sentencing reform act, were also filed by Sen. David Sanders, R-Little Rock, who has been been critical of the act since its passage.
Senate Bill 259 would exclude sexual offenses and other felonies including capital murder, murder, manslaughter, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, arson, among others, from eligibility for transfer to the Department of Community Correction by the state Parole Board.
SB 257 would revise parole statutes to require a parolee who violates his parole by committing a felony to serve the entire remainder of his original sentence.
SB 258 would require the parole board to issue a warrant for the arrest of a parolee who has committed a violent or sexual felony while on parole.
SB 260 would require the state Department of Community Correction to prepare a report on the number of inmates under supervision for the last five years who would be considered repeat offenders under the definition of recidivism.
Matt DeCample, spokesman for Gov. Mike Beebe, said the governor is studying Sanders' bills.
"We'll review those like all other bills," DeCample said.
The sentencing reforms were enacted in response to a 2010 study by the Pew Center's Public Safety Performance, which found that the state's prison population had doubled in the past 20 years to more than 16,000 and that housing ever more inmates could cost the state $1 billion over the next decade.
The reforms and guidelines could save the state about $875 million over the next decade, the PEW study said.
State parole and prison officials have said early indications are the reforms appear to be having some impact because the prison population has dropped, as has the backlog of state inmates being held in county jails.
Also filed Thursday:
—House Bill 1269, by Rep. John Catlett, D-Rover. Under the bill, an employer could not prohibit an employee from keeping a handgun in a locked vehicle in the employer's parking lot if the employee has a license to carry a concealed weapon.
—Senate Joint Resolution 6, by Sen. Eddie Joe Williams, would ask voters to amend the state constitution to place oversight of most workers' compensation cases in the Legislature. The state Supreme Court currently oversees pleadings, procedures and practices in such cases under Amendment 80, passed by voters in 2002.

Luminous, Loving 'Amour'
Most films these days mimic the furious pace of our lives; they hurtle along from start to finish, seldom pausing to breathe. Michael Haneke 's French-language "Amour," a perfect film about intertwined lives, proceeds at its own pace, and breathes so deeply that it takes your own breath away.
The setting is a comfortable Parisian apartment, probably stylish in its day but showing its age, where Georges and Anne, a husband and wife played by Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, share a life of quiet pleasures and comforting routines. They're retired music teachers in their 80s, and the apartment is their untroubled world until, one morning at breakfast, Anne disappears. She's there physically, but what proves to be a transient stroke removes her, and then, a few moments later, returns her, seemingly intact. "Amour" is about the love that binds these two wonderful people, and about sustaining that love in the shadow of death.
Mr. Haneke's film, exquisitely photographed by Darius Khondji, has won all sorts of prizes all over the world, and no wonder; the performances alone set it off as a welcoming masterpiece. ( Isabelle Huppert is fine as the couple's high-strung daughter.) Since Anne's condition worsens, at first slowly and then anguishingly, the more dramatic of the two roles is Ms. Riva's. This extraordinary artist, who made her feature debut 53 years ago in another movie with love in the title, "Hiroshima, Mon Amour," is as unsparing as her director in depicting Anne's decline, though physical insults, and the erosion of identity, are only part of the story. Moments of happiness still occur. Revisiting her past through a photo album, Anne smiles an ineffably poignant smile and says: "It's beautiful, life."
Mr. Trintignant, a popular star of French films in the 1960s and '70s, achieves in his role a ruefully calm transcendence. Georges may be a bit forgetful, and somewhat rickety on his feet, but he's in full possession of his senses from start to finish, which is both a blessing and an undeserved curse. He can't really cope with the physical demands of caring for his wife, though he does his very good best before he's tested beyond endurance. And he can't slow the course of her decline, so he slows the passage of what time remains to them with stories—luminous stories of his life and theirs, stories with an undercurrent of heartbreak and horror.
To watch Mr. Trintignant in these moments, and to hear the subtle modulations of his spoken words into a kind of dulcet music, is to witness great acting stripped to the emotional bone. Georges is not just a paragon of love and devotion, but of tenacity, pride, shocking anger and possessiveness, often all at the same instant; Anne is his to care for, and no one else's, in the apartment that threatens to become a tomb. "Amour" might seem hardly the stuff of entertainment, yet the reason it has been acclaimed isn't mysterious. Confronting death, it studies life, closely and lovingly. One of the stories that Georges tells Anne is about his childhood, but it's also, not incidentally, about movies—about his seeing a movie as a child and then, shortly afterward, not being able to recall the story, only the feelings it evoked. From the beginning of our lives to the end, this movie says, feelings are all that matter.

'Jack Reacher'
Would "Jack Reacher" have been as loathsome if it had been released before the shootings at Sandy Hook elementary school? Surely not. A couple of weeks ago it might have been seen as just another dumb thriller in which a shooter with an assault rifle kills helpless victims in a public space. This week it's a corporate disgrace. Paramount Pictures delayed some of the movie's preopening parties and premieres out of deference to Sandy Hook, but the studio must have felt there was too much money riding on its massive marketing campaign to postpone the actual opening.
Still, greed and insensitivity don't tell the full tale. "Jack Reacher," which Christopher McQuarrie directed from his adaptation of a Lee Child crime novel, is not just another dumb thriller. It's almost peerlessly self-important, weirdly incoherent and eerily smarmy. It's also mysteriously inept, considering that Tom Cruise plays the title role, a mythical veteran of Iraq who goes from city to city righting wrongs.
What is Mr. Cruise doing here? What is he doing to his increasingly erratic career? He was perfectly fine in last year's elaborate installment of "Mission Impossible," to which Mr. McQuarrie reportedly contributed rewrites, because the movie had the bright idea of providing fun. The actor is no fun at all in his Jack Reacher incarnation, which amounts—not just for him—to an exercise in filmed taxidermy. Not even the radiantly gifted Rosamund Pike survives the production's crippled dialogue, stylistic gropes in the direction of film noir and feeble attempts at absurdist comedy, not to mention, though I will, a succession of ludicrously leering close-ups.
Almost two decades ago Mr. McQuarrie wrote a classic mindbender, "The Usual Suspects." But he's over his head as a director, and though his script strives to bend minds, it numbs brains, since most of its connective tissue seems to have been devoured by a screenwriting analog of necrotizing fasciitis. It's hard to say, therefore, exactly what the story is about, but there's the shooter shooting, real-estate machinations by Georgian gangsters, replays of the shooter shooting, Werner Herzog chewing the scenery as some sort of gulag survivor who has chewed his own fingers off, a district-attorney daddy's conflict with his public-defender daughter and, in case the central point has been lost, more shots of the shooter shooting.
Before the screening, friends expressed mild pleasure that the studio was providing free popcorn and soda. No, no, I told them, you don't understand. Free popcorn and soda at a screening is a red flag; it almost always means the studio knows the movie is a turkey. How little I knew of what the studio must know. This movie is a turkey gone rancid.
'The Impossible'
Ever since "Jaws," shots of an ominously serene sea mean "shark." In "The Impossible" they mean "sea," a titanic rearing-up of the Indian Ocean into the tsunami of 2004. This film achieves its own kind of impossible by creating, on a substantial budget but not a huge one, an astonishingly realistic re-creation of that cataclysm. Digital artistry explains part of it, but I can't imagine how the director, J.A. Bayona, and his colleagues staged the chaotic aftermath in which vast new saltwater rivers sweep away everything and everyone in their path.
Yet it's not just the visuals that make the movie what it is, a thrilling, if also punishing, tale of heroic endurance. "The Impossible," based on a true story, derives most of its impressive power from two remarkable performances: Naomi Watts as Maria, a mother, and physician, torn from her husband (Ewan McGregor) and three sons when the tsunami hits their beach resort in Thailand, and Tom Holland as Lucas, the oldest of the sons, who's reconnected with his mother by the floods. Lucas, barely into adolescence, comes of age in a matter of a few disaster-filled days. Maria is twice transformed, first into a wild woman protecting one of her cubs, then into a victim of massive injuries. Never has a beautiful movie star looked, or acted, more convincingly brutalized by random fate.
'On the Road'
This road trip, a screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac 's classic anthem of the Beat Generation, was directed by Walter Salles from a screenplay by Jose Rivera. It's neither the first nor the best road trip that Mr. Salles has brought to the screen.
Eight years ago he did "The Motorcycle Diaries," a buoyant, buddy-bonding account of the young Che Guevara on a voyage of discovery through Latin America. "On the Road" is buoyed, though only so far, by Eric Gautier 's cinematography and Carlos Conti 's production design—New York and San Francisco in the late 1940s, young spirits seeking bohemian release as they hurtle across a still-rustic country in a broad-beamed maroon Hudson. Yet the narrative lacks a strong heartbeat; you keep wondering why the spectacle isn't as affecting as it is picturesque. Part of the problem lies in the nature of the production—better to read a book that a writer has written, especially a book as volcanic as Kerouac's, than to watch the writer writing it on the screen. Mainly, though, buoyancy fails because the acting is flat, notwithstanding the hero's declaration that he's attracted by people who "burn, burn like Roman candles across the night."
The cast includes Sam Riley as Sal Paradise, Kerouac's surrogate; Garrett Hedlund as the prime Roman candle, Dean Moriarty/Neal Cassady; Kristen Stewart as Marylou/LuAnne Henderson; Amy Adams as Jane/Joan Vollmer, and Tom Sturridge as Carlo Marx, Kerouac's stand-in for Allen Ginsberg. It's not a good sign that the movie's most stirring moment comes when Sal opens an envelope that Marx has sent him and the camera studies the words of Ginsberg's legendary "Denver Doldrums," handwritten on a piece of paper.
'The Guilt Trip'
"The Guilt Trip" can be seen as what happened when Miss Marmelstein, the wistful secretary played so sensationally by Barbra Streisand in the Broadway musical that put her on the map, grew up to be the devouring Jewish mother of a nebbishy devouree played by Seth Rogen. The pretext of the movie, which was directed in broadbrush-cartoon style by Anne Fletcher from a coarse-textured script by Dan Fogelman, is a road trip taken by mother, Joyce, and son, Andrew. He brings her along, just like that, because he's hatched a cockeyed scheme to reconnect her with an old flame and get her off his back.
Andrew, who has invented an organic cleaning compound, pitches it to retailers in a succession of meetings across the country that have no grounding in any known reality. That describes long stretches of this short film, which stops dead in its tracks for a bizarre set piece in which Joyce must scarf a 50-ounce steak for the sake of a free meal. Yet there's also a moment when she reminisces about that lost love, and Ms. Streisand, grounded in a reality that's both simple and affecting, shows us how a cartoon can come, however briefly, to vivid life.

'Hiroshima, Mon Amour' (1959)
Emmanuelle Riva is superb as a French movie actress in this enigmatic, incantatory debut feature by Alain Resnais. In the opening shot, her nude body is intertwined with Eiji Okada's: He plays a Japanese architect. Pauline Kael wasn't impressed by the movie's high seriousness. "Hushed and hypnotic," she wrote, "it makes you so conscious of its artistry that you may feel as if in a church and need to giggle." Most critics and moviegoers, though, took it very seriously as an allegorical statement against atomic bombs. The script was the work of the French writer, and then director, Marguerite Duras.
'The Conformist' (1970)
Jean-Louis Trintignant plays the title role in Bernardo Bertolucci's sumptuous masterpiece, set in 1930s Italy and based on a novel by Alberto Moravia. Mr. Trintignant is Marcello, a man of more ambition than talent who flees what he loathes about himself by becoming a fascist assassin. The film functions as a political parable; as a psychosexual study in compensatory behavior (it's not just about the emotional roots of fascism, but about why sinning preachers denounce sin, or deviant legislators seek to police the sort of crimes they commit), and as a supremely stylish work of cinematic art.
'All Night Long' (1981)
Barbra Streisand is Cheryl Gibbons, a soft-spoken but savvy bleached blonde in Jean-Claude Tramont 's enjoyable, though at this point little known, slapstick romance. Gene Hackman is George Dupler, a family man in Los Angeles who drops out to enjoy life on his own terms after he's denied a promotion and demoted to night manager at an all-night drugstore. The original script was written by W.D. Richter. The cast includes Dennis Quaid as George's son, Diane Ladd as George's wife and Kevin Dobson as Cheryl's husband.

The iPad mini is on many a Christmas wish list, but the fall out from the legal fighting between Apple and Samsung may mean that Apple cannot meet pre-Christmas demand for the iPad mini.
A report from DigiTimes suggests that one of Apple's screen suppliers for the iPad mini is struggling to meet demand.
In what many see as Apple's attempt to distance itself from arch-enemy Samsung, the company has been searching for other companies to supply parts for its devices. For example, LG Display and AU Optronics were confirmed as the suppliers of display components in a teardown of the iPad mini by HSI iSuppli earlier in November. Samsung had been the supplier of screens for the full-sized iPad. This confirmed expectations - back in March this year we reported that AU Optronics and LG would make panels for the iPad mini.
However, AU Optronics is said to be having a few issues meeting demand for the screens. That company is suffering from poor yields in the production of panels, according to DigiTimes sources.
That report claims that LG Display and AU Optronics shipped about four million panels for the iPad mini in November. The report notes that industry observers expect the cumulative shipments of the iPad mini to reach 6-8 million units by the end of 2012.
A separate IHS iSuppli report in October suggested that "any display manufacturing and yield issues could impact the availability of the mini iPad for the remainder of the year." In the context of this claim, there are concerns that the issues at AU Optronics might mean Apple struggles to meet demand for the iPad mini. However, iSuppli's later tear-down of the iPad mini noted that "Apple has multiple sources for many key components, such as the display" and luckily LG appears to be capable of providing sufficient panels, according to DigiTimes sources.
Samsung won't recharge Apple's battery account
It's not only screens that Samsung is no longer providing for Apple. The company is also said to have stopped supplying Apple with batteries.
Apple now uses Chinese companies Amperex Technology Limited and Tianjin Lishen Battery, according to China Business News, via Brightwire.
In this case it's not only the iPad that Apple needed to change battery supplier for. Samsung will also cease providing batteries for Apple's MacBook laptops.
Samsung v Apple: War declared
Samsung and Apple are embroiled in a legal war, with each company saying that the other has stolen its patented technology. News that Apple is seeking alternative suppliers suggests that the outcome of the Apple versus Samsung California trial could cost Samsung far more than the $1bn the company is supposed to pay Apple for infringing its patents. Apple is Samsung's biggest customer and its business is worth 8.8% of Samsung's revenue.
The new iPhone 5 doesn't include memory chips or displays supplied by Samsung. Samsung does still build the A6 chip for use in the iPhone, although Apple now designs the chip itself - and is said to be considering switching to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to supply processors from the second-half of 2013.
However, speaking at the recent Apple financial results conference call with analysts Tim Cook said Samsung is a "crucial" component partner and will remain so at least in the near future.
It has been suggested that the reasoning behind the move has nothing to do with the Apple verses Samsung patent dispute. Instead, it is in line with Apple's plan to diversify its supply chain.

Being a jailer can be a dirty business.
Being a jailer can be a dirty business.
Shortly after 3 a.m. Monday, Devine James Slade, 18, allegedly threw �a bowl of bodily fluids and excrement� at the jailer passing by his cell at the Lenoir County Jail.
Slade is one of four people accused in the June 9, 2011 murder of U.S. Marshal Warren Basco �Sneak� Lewis III. Lewis died after Slade, Lamont Byrd, Mareto Byrd and Kion Dail allegedly shot through a door at 602 W. Lenoir Ave. Lewis was investigating the June 2 murder of House of Wang dishwasher Thomas Hinton.
According to a Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office narrative, Deputy Garry Turner spoke with the jailer about the incident and took his soiled clothes into evidence � a shirt, a pair of pants, a pair of boots and a watch.
A magistrate was called in and placed Slade under a $50,000 bond for the incident. Slade was processed and placed back in his cell.
Slade was charged with malicious conduct by a prisoner and assault on a government employee.
Lamont Byrd allegedly committed a similar act when he threw urine on a corrections officer in March.
