SEATTLE (Reuters) - Satya Nadella, the Indian-born self-described cricket fanatic who took over as Microsoft Corp's chief executive last month, makes his public debut on Thursday and is expected to go on the offensive right away with some bold strokes.
When Nadella hosts his first major press conference this week, he's likely to describe - if not officially launch - versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint designed for Apple Inc's iPad, looking to cash in on a market worth up to $7 billion a year, according to Wall Street analysts.
The technology behind the software is not ground-breaking, but the strategy is: It puts Office at the heart of the company's push to become a leading services company across a variety of platforms - possibly at the expense of Windows and its own Surface tablet.
That perceived willingness to break with the Windows tradition, which remains co-founder Bill Gates' most enduring legacy, has helped spur Microsoft shares to $40-plus levels not seen since the dotcom boom of 2000.
Wall Street is now guardedly optimistic on a company that, while still garnering billions of dollars in annual profit, risks gradual obsolescence in a mobile-powered tech industry.
"The fact that Nadella is going to pull the trigger (on Office) shows he's not just an insider that's going to continue the status quo. Right now, it's a blank sheet of paper," said Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets.
Depending what Microsoft charges for Office on the iPad, and how many of the scores of millions - and rising - iPad users adopt it, it could rake in anywhere between $840 million to $6.7 billion a year in revenue, estimates Raimo Lenschow, an analyst at Barclays.
Rick Sherlund, an analyst at Nomura who has urged Microsoft to put its most lucrative franchise on the iPad for some time, welcomed the idea but was more cautious on the rewards. He estimates that an iPad Office would generate only $1 billion or so in new revenue a year, as many potential users will already have corporate licenses that can be converted to the new product.
And it's unclear how much of its revenue will be surrendered to Apple, which generally takes a 30 percent cut of app sales through its store. Microsoft and Apple declined comment.
The anticipation of Nadella's mobile-centric strategy has pushed Microsoft shares up 11 percent in the seven weeks since he took the helm, and they are now rolling along at 14-year highs.
On Thursday, Nadella is officially slated to talk about mobile and cloud strategies. But investors and industry executives will be just as attuned to any signals from the new CEO on whether he's willing to take Microsoft in a radically different direction.
To some investors, steering a new course for such a massive entity - Microsoft is the second-largest U.S. tech company by market value - is a daunting task. And some, who would rather have seen an energetic outsider like Ford Motor Co's Alan Mulally get the job, are yet to be convinced Nadella has the leverage to make the necessary change.
But bold moves with Office, and signifying a renewed drive to conquer the mobile arena and 'cloud' computing after years of shackling its best products to PC-centric Windows, are seen as a promising start.
"This is something that should have happened a few years ago," said J.P. Gownder, an analyst at tech research firm Forrester. "Holding Office for iPad as a hostage in the tablet war didn't work out well for them. They have to start to undo this negative behavior."
Nadella has more work to do as well on the devices side of Microsoft's business plan. Windows-powered phones are well reviewed but held only 3 percent of the global smartphone market last year. Its Surface tablet, an iPad competitor, had 2 percent of the tablet market, according to tech research firm Gartner.
Microsoft's $7.2 billion deal to buy the handset unit of Nokia, now delayed in closing, is unpopular with many investors who view it as a doomed defensive play to curb Google Inc's Android's dominance in the smartphone market.
It is "an acquisition not even a mother could love," according to Nomura's Sherlund.
Wall Street will be listening for Nadella's thoughts on the Xbox, the subject of renewed spin-off talk recently, and his willingness to buy his way into cloud-based computing services exploited by growing startups such as Dropbox and Evernote.
"M&A specifically on cloud is going to be key, around big data, cybersecurity, software-centric deals," said Ives at FBR. "Give investors a bone, and they will believe."

Jeffrey Scott Hemeke, a 21-year-old traveler from South Carolina, was struck and killed in a tragic pedestrian crash that occurred on March 3, 2012, around 12:49 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10(I-10) at Pepper Avenue. According to the San Bernardino County coroner's office, Hemeke was hit by a car while he attempted to walk across the roadway.
The pedestrian sustained life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead at the accident scene. From the present facts, it is unclear as to how this pedestrian accident occurred. Was the motorist distracted? Or was he or she speeding?

How quick we are to take offence. I have written before that it's the sign of an increasingly infantile society when, as soon as anyone speaks their mind or says something remotely off-colour, there's usually a reaction bordering on the hysterical, followed by widespread condemnation and ultimately a demand for a grovelling apology. Calm down, dear, I'd like to say – yet that would only incense half the population.
But yesterday I found myself in the position of offendee and I can see how possible it is to be sucked into the spiral of indignation. I haven't got to the point of demanding a public apology from the American actress Chloë Sevigny and I must add that she didn't attack me personally. It was worse than that.
She insulted the city of my birth, in a way that makes me mad. She's just given an interview in which she gave a highly unflattering portrait of Manchester, where she'd spent five months filming. "It was one of the grimmest places that I'd ever been to in my entire life," she said. I think we can safely assume from this remark that she has not been to Merthyr Tydfil. And I don't know how well travelled this actress/model/fashion designer is.
There was more. "It rained every singe day that I was there," she added.
Oh, puh-leese! Such a cliché. You know what? It does rain in Manchester, but not significantly more than anywhere else. There is, certainly, a particular quality to the rain there, which some people confuse with its frequency: you can wake up, open the curtains, see a drizzly grey sky and be pretty damn sure it'll still be raining when you go to bed. Nevertheless, it's the height of laziness to suggest it's one of the city's defining characteristics.
What about its museums and galleries, its striking Gothic architecture or its revitalised inner city quarters, its sporting and industrial heritage, even its shops and its nightlife? Surely there's enough to keep the interest even of a cultural giant like Miss Sevigny? She said nothing, either, of the warmth and humour of Mancunian people.
True, there are some who believe us to be rather dour, but Miss Sevigny used to go out with Jarvis Cocker, so you'd have to say she's had first-hand experience of Northern misery.
"It was, like, I've gotta get the hell out of here," she says of her final days in Manchester. Well, good riddance, I say.
And as one ingrate flies out of the city, an outcast returns. The footballer Carlos Tevez – who has achieved the rare feat of alienating the supporters of both City and United – is back to try and revive his career after falling out with City's manager Roberto Mancini last September. But now Mancini is offended, too. Tevez gave an interview before he left Argentina, in which he said Mancini "treated him like a dog".
However, I fail to see why the manager is upset. If my household is anything to go by, what Tevez meant was that he was looked after in a loving fashion, he was stroked, embraced and amused, given treats at regular intervals and generally made to feel like a king.
Offence, as we can see, is very much in the eye of the beholder.

The Fifth Element (1997)
14 trivia entries
Directed by: Luc Besson
Starring: Bruce Willis, Chris Tucker, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, Milla Jovovich
Vote on Gary Oldman and more movies at The Big Fat List
Trivia: When the priest states that he has a theory on the advancing planet near the beginning of the film, the president tells him that he has '20 seconds.' Cornelius gives his theory - which takes exactly 20 seconds.
Trivia: Korben Dallas and Zorg neither meet nor communicate in any way throughout the film.
Trivia: The Diva Plavalaguna's name was used as an inside joke referencing Milla Jovovich's second film, "Return to Blue Lagoon" (plava laguna means "blue lagoon" in Serbo-Croatian).
Trivia: Luc Besson thought about the story when he was in high school.
Trivia: In the movie, the bizarre Divine Language that Leeloo speaks was invented by Milla Jovovich and director Luc Besson. Milla Jovovich is multi-lingual, and by the end of filming the movie, the two of them had learned to speak it fluently, even engaging in full conversations in the language.
Trivia: Zorg is told "you're a monster." Gary Oldman's characters have been told the same thing in "Air Force One" and "Lost in Space."
Trivia: Interesting and fun to watch for: As a visual representation of their exact opposites, Zorg usually has a large circle behind him, whereas Korben usually has a large rectangle behind him during important scenes involving major decisions by their characters.
Trivia: When the shuttle leaves Earth to go to Fhloston Paradise, the flashes behind the shuttle have the same shape as Gaumont's logo. Gaumont is the company that produced this film.
Trivia: The real name of one of the policeman that is waiting in front of the McDonalds is Mac Macdonald.
Trivia: When composer Éric Serra showed Inva Mula, the Albanian soprano who was going to sing the Diva Dance, the sheet music for that part, apparently she laughed and said that it was impossible for the human voice to switch from high to low notes that quickly. She got her way: The part that ended up in the film is not a single piece of audio, rather it's several pieces stitched meticulously together.
Trivia: When Leeloo is fleeing from the cops and is startled by the elevator that goes down past her, on the roof of a grey bus passing along side it, you can see "KG62" written on it. "KG" are Karen Goulekas' initials, the film's digital effects supervisor, and "62" is her birth year. This is confirmed on the DVD's visual effects commentary.
Trivia: At first, the film was supposed to be filmed in France but there were no studios big enough so they had to transfer the production to London.
Trivia: During the opening credits, when the Earth rotates from the bottom of the screen to the left, listen carefully to the music. It is the same music played just after the Klingon ship goes back in time to 1986 in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (right after the heads of the Enterprise crew morph on screen).
Trivia: Zorg's desk and the accident with the cherry is a reference to the film Tintin and the Lake of Sharks, where Rastapopoulos has the same kind of problem.

Commercial and industrial contracts have dried up.
Construction demand in Singapore dropped markedly in 2015, with the value of both public and private sector contracts booking negative year-on-year growth for the full year.
According to Citi, public construction contracts were unable to cushion the overall demand slowdown last year.
"Despite a significant budgeted increase in public infrastructure, the reality is that any increase in civil engineering contracts has been small compared to the drop elsewhere," Citi said in a report.
"Besides the well-telegraphed weakness in the residential sector, the prospect of over-supply in the commercial and industrial property space has begun to put the brakes on construction contracts for these two segments," Citi added.
In its annual Economic Survey released in February, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) warned that prospects for the construction sector have weakened in 2016.
This was on back of the drop in contracts awarded in 2015 and continued sluggishness in private sector construction demand.

Lanky. beanpole. Giant. The members of the Tall Person's Club have heard it all before. Over the years, many have been pointed, stared and even laughed at. But this weekend they are gathering in Kent simply to "not talk about being tall".
So asking each one how tall they were as they arrived turns out to be my first mistake. Each year, a group of them meet for one weekend. For many it is a rare opportunity to meet people who face the same problems they do.
"It can be difficult for us, from people asking questions when we're trying to do our shopping to finding a bed big enough," says Louise Ross (6ft3in), a member of the club's board. "But we try to meet it with humour. When people ask if we play basketball, we ask them if they play miniature golf. We even had T-shirts printed saying 'I like small people but I couldn't eat a whole one', that type of thing."
Carsten Matthiesen, the tallest member of the Club, stands at 7ft3in. (That's 21-and-a-half inches taller than yours truly, for the record.) He travelled from Aarhus in Denmark to be here. "People are here because they are tall – they don't need to talk about it – so we just get on with talking about normal things. That's not so easy in the outside world," he says.
"Children often ask about my height. I don't mind that. It is the older people who really annoy me. Surely they must know how it is rude to make comments when I am trying to pay for my shopping?" It dawns on me that pulling up a ladder to interview him may have been my second mistake.
"I have to get my clothes specially made," he continues. "There is a tailor in Italy who caters for people my height. He brings his catalogue to Denmark once a year. I am quite lucky because I pay the same price as shorter people would when I buy from him. But it can take up to eight weeks to get the clothes delivered."
But surely it is not all bad being tall? "There are benefits," says Carsten, a chef and stand-up comedian. "A lot of girls like tall men and they don't come too much taller than me. Men will often buy me a beer, too."
The Tall Person's Club was set up by Phil Heinricy in 1991. At 6ft8in and fed up of never being able to find clothes that fitted him, he decided to contact other tall people. "Within a few weeks he had taken hundreds of phone calls. The membership now stands at three or four thousand," says Ms Ross, who works as a detention officer for Leicestershire police.
The Tall Person's Club is one of a number across Europe. Mr Matthiesen has been on trips with Europa Treffen, which meets in different venues across the Continent. He says there is also a club in Denmark. "But they are all quite old. They have tea at around 5pm, then it is off to bed. I come here because they are younger," he explains (the average age is 38).
Thirty-seven-year-old civil servant Helen Porter (6ft4in), another member, says: "I came all the way from Newcastle to be here because I enjoy the company. We usually have activities on the first night, then go on a trip before the party to top it all off."
According to one board member, there have been more than 50 weddings between members in the 18 years the club has been running. However, membership has fallen in recent years. Ms Ross said she is keen to recruit the next generation of tall people to keep the club running.
"We need to get teenagers involved. The nation is getting taller but life seems to be getting smaller. Cars, mobile phones and the like are tiny these days. But the fact is that a lot of tall people don't have a great deal of confidence in themselves. Some members won't even come to the social events. Once they do come though, they realise that it is nice to see that they are not the only ones."

In 2006, a law was enacted in North Carolina that completely banned persons under the age of 18 from using any type of cell phone device, including hands-free Bluetooth headsets, while driving. A study was conducted before the law went into effect, and again after the law was enacted, and yielded some alarming results. Teenagers didn't change their mobile phone usage habits, period. In a related survey, parents offered overwhelming support for the law, but conceded that enforcement was lacking. Even the vice-president of IIHS opined that these kinds of bans are difficult to enforce because it's hard to determine the age of users, and because hands-free devices like Bluetooth headsets are often hard to see.

Cops often set up roadside checkpoints in the vicinity of drinking establishments, so why not set up checkpoints outside of high schools, movie theaters and the mall? [Gadget Remote]

By Patrick Day, Deborah Netburn and Rebecca Snavely, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers The young actors and actresses whose careers John Hughes helped launch have continued to grow and thrive. Some of them are still famous enough that we don't need a refresher -- who doesn't know that Matthew Broderick reprised his role as Ferris Bueller in one of this year's biggest Super Bowl ads? But some of the biggest stars of the Hughes era have dropped a bit below the radar in recent years. Over 28 years since the premiere of the first feature Hughes directed, "Sixteen Candles," we catch up with Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson and others.

National Politics
Diverse RNC speaker lineup belies GOP delegate, voter makeup
When television news cameras broadcast sweeping shots of delegates at the Republican National Convention, viewers will see a sea of red, white and blue apparel – and white faces.
As the hurricane-delayed convention gets rolling tonight the GOP will present a multi-hued face onstage. Texas Senate candidate Ted Cruz, who is Latino, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who is of Indian descent, and Utah Congressional candidate Mia Love, who is black, all will speak tonight.
But the 4,411 delegates and alternates watching them in the Tampa Bay Times Forum will be nearly all white, and polls show President Barack Obama – the nation's first mixed-race president – with significant advantages among minority voters.
Leading Republicans acknowledge picking up more minority votes is crucial to the party's long-term survival, as the nation becomes less white. From the convention site in immigrant-heavy Florida to the roster of speakers to daily briefings for Latino reporters, Republicans are attempting to court minority voters. Latinos are a particular target, as they are the nation's fastest growing demographic and have been more of a swing group than traditionally Democratic black voters.
Arturo Vargas, executive director of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, said both parties have been reaching out to Latinos more than ever this year in light of the 2010 census showing a booming Latino population. National conventions present a heavily watched showcase for that effort.
"It's part of that sort of acceptance of the fact that this is a segment of the electorate that has to be incorporated in an institutional way, and ultimately that's what we want to see," Vargas said.
But the Republican Party platform includes a strict stance on illegal immigrants that has been embraced by soon-to-be presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who during the GOP primary floated the idea that some immigrants could "self-deport."
"It's policy more than anything else," said Larry Sabato, the head of the University of Virginia Center for Politics. "In the end that matters more than all the symbolic gestures in the world."
This year, 46 Republican delegates are African-American, or about 2 percent of the total, according to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. That is up from 36 in 2008, which was the lowest number in 40 years, but far less than the 167 black delegates in 2004, which was the highest since 1912, said David Bositis, senior political analyst for the Joint Center.
The Joint Center does not track Latino or other minority delegates, but the Republican convention is likely to have more Hispanic delegates than African-Americans, he said.
Bositis found that 26 percent of the 4,000-plus delegates to the 2012 Democratic National Convention are African-American. He estimates that at least 40 percent of the Democratic delegates will be from minority groups.
Bositis said the Democratic Party has appealed to African-American voters for years while Republican leaders and voters were seen as hostile to the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Joint Center has collected delegate diversity data for more than 40 years but ran into some states withholding information or refusing to provide data this year, including Georgia, Virginia and Illinois Republican state parties, Bositis said.
Bositis said the GOP needs to broaden its appeal to minority voters or face irrelevance in the coming years as America becomes more diverse.
"The Republican Party base is white, aging and dying off," he said.
He noted, "They should have been adapting all along – I've said that before – but right now they'll do no such thing. They're afraid of their current voters, not their future voters. Their current voters are old and white."
GOP pollster Whit Ayres has been pushing the party to appeal more to Latinos. They are not monolithic – Cuban-Americans tend to lean Republican, while Mexican-Americans are more Democratic, for example – but Ayres said Republicans can draw in more Latino voters if they try.
"We need to adopt a tone that talks about Hispanics as voters we want in the Republican coalition rather than folks to run against," Ayres said, referring to the charged politics of immigration policy.
Ayres said Republican outreach must occur in substance and tone, and he pointed to Florida Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio's work on immigration reform as a possible path forward.
Republicans in Congress have defeated Democrats' "Dream Act," which would give a path to citizenship for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children who go to college or serve in the military. Rubio would give them a visa but not citizenship.
Obama this summer put out a controversial executive order deferring deportation for those immigrants. The action "cut [Rubio] off at the knees," Ayres said.
Rubio, who will introduce Romney on Thursday night, is one of several minority Republican stars in Florida. The state's lieutenant governor, Jennifer Carroll, is a black native of the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Cuban-Americans such as Rubio and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen have long been a force in the state GOP.
"We've got a lot of diversity in this state's Republican Party because Florida is also such a microcosm and melting pot," said Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida. "It makes a lot of sense to have the convention staged in Florida, but I think it's very important to put a younger and more diverse face on the party."
Nationally, the party is struggling to attract nonwhite voters.
A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed Obama leading Romney 94 percent to 0 percent among black voters, and ahead by a two-to-one margin with Latino voters.
Herman Cain, the black McDonough businessman who ran in the Republican presidential primary, challenged the notion that no black voters will vote for Romney at a Tampa rally Sunday night, asking for the black "zeroes" in the crowd to stand with him.
In an interview Cain said the polls do not reflect what he hears anecdotally in the black community and that minority voters are moved by the same thing as white voters: the economy.
"Let me tell you what black people care about – green," Cain said. "Green as in business success. Green as in a successful corporate career. Green as in being able to start a business and having a legitimate chance of making it succeed. That is the best outreach program you can have to blacks, Hispanics, Jewish-Americans, Asian-Americans, any ethic group. The best outreach programs are programs that lead to economic success."

With mobile web browsing becoming widespread, users expect their favorite sites to "just work" on their mobile device of choice. Exciting times, especially as there are a number of new hooks in modern mobile browsers that help web designers to create compelling experiences on phones and tablets.
In my talk, I will cover the various features of the viewport meta tag, and look at how they allow you to control mobile browsers' zoom behaviors. I'll also connect this to Opera's CSS Device Adaptation proposal, which brings this feature to CSS in the form of the @viewport rule.
Furthermore, I will explain how viewport can be combined with media queries to create super-flexible layouts that work nicely across different browsing contexts and devices, and explore various strategies to dealing with different screen sizes and pixel densities.

Iran Attack Dominates GOP Debate Sponsored by Neocon Institute
Kurt Nimmo
November 23, 2011
Prior to the GOP debate last night, the Obama administration sent adviser Tom Donilon to the Brookings Institute where he insisted Iran has been weakened under its sanctions regime. Donilon admitted, however, that sanctions have not led to Iran "fundamentally altering its behavior."
AEI sets tone for "debate" on attacking Iran.
Brookings is a top level globalist operation. It receives funding from an array of foundations, including the CIA's Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. It also receives money from Bank of America, JP Morgan and a number of "defense" contractors. Brookings also shares a relationship with the neocon operation, the American Enterprise Institute. A number of AEI alumni, most notably Michael Ledeen, have called for moving aggressively against Iran.
Following Donilon's sojourn to Brookings, the prospect of an attack on Iran dominated the GOP "debates" (sponsored in by the warmongering AEI along with the Heritage Foundation and CNN).
Newt Gingrich led the pack by calling for "regime change" in Iran and "said that could be accomplished within a year, adopting a more aggressive posture toward the U.S. adversary than advocated by the rest of the Republican field or by President Barack Obama," reports the Wall Street Journal.
Gingrich said he would bomb Iran "as a last resort and with a goal of bringing about the downfall of the government."
Rick Perry suggested shutting down Iran's economy by sanctioning its central bank. Herman Cain said he would back an attack by Israel if there was a "credible" plan and Mitt Romney called for tougher sanctions to cripple Iran's oil industry.
Sources indicate Romney's idea is already in the works. The Obama administration is looking to bar foreign firms from investing in Iran's petrochemical industry, a sanction that would be along the lines of past restrictions on Iran's oil and gas sectors.
"If they want to bomb something, it's their business and they should face their consequences," Ron Paul said. "Israel is quite capable of taking care of themselves." He said Americans should not be comfortable with any military action "without a proper declaration by the United States Congress."
Ron Paul responds to Wolf Blitzer on Israel and Iran attack.
Following the beating of the war drums at a debate sponsored by an organization responsible in large part for the illegal attack on Iraq under false pretense, Iranian General Yahya Rahim Safavi said his country is prepared "for the worst case scenario."
Safavi made a point of stating that Iran monitors U.S. ships in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz where one-third of the world's oil passes. "New war in the region will bring economic and political crisis into the entire world," he said.
Iran has signaled if need be it would use oil as a political tool. Iran's oil minister, Rostam Qasemi, told Al Jazeera that if backed into a corner Iran would not hesitate.
While Qasemi's threat was vague, Mehdi Mehdizadeh, a member of the Iranian parliament, clarified: "If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz this will cause an increase in oil prices, and under such circumstances Western industries will be grounded."

"Even rabbits insult an dead lion."
""Pooh," said Rabbit kindly, "you haven't any brain." "I know," said Pooh humbly."
Winnie the Pooh
"In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one."
Oscar Wilde
"He's very good at pulling rabbits out of hats, but the rabbit disappears in the end."
Thomas Vinje
"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."
"A great many people now reading and writing would be better employed keeping rabbits."
Dame Edith Sitwell
"If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be messed-up."

New Work
I finally had a chance to experiment with creating ACEO's with a different approach.
The base of the work is felt with collaged papers adhered on top. I've used pieces from old collagraph prints and they seem too work really well. Things don't seem to be coming together until you start cutting out your 2.5"x3.5" card. Each card cut is totally different. Both pieces have been inked, stamped and sewn on. I really like the effects of the sewing! I like both the free motion and regular stitching.

Red Landscape
I made this linoleum image about 4-5 years ago and I put it away until I came across it again just recently. I became very ambitious and decided to print with two colors. I forget how labor intensive it is to print by hand, but it was worth it!
I am originally form New Mexico and the mountains are always on my mind. I have several charcoal landscape drawings of Northern New Mexico mountains hanging in my home. It truely is Gods country and I miss it a lot! My family still lives there and we have property we purchased for retirement some day! Oh well, I still feel very connected.

METEORS FROM HALLEY'S COMET: Earth is entering a stream of dusty debris from Halley's Comet, and this is causing the annual Orionid meteor shower. If forecasters are correct, the shower will peak on Wednesday morning, Oct. 21st, with dozens of meteors per hour. The best time to look is during the dark hours before local dawn.
For the past three years, Orionid rates have been unusually high, with reports of 60 or more meteors per hour. Researchers believe this is a result of some very old and rich debris from Comet Halley drifting across Earth's orbit. Computer models of the debris suggest that it is still in the neighborhood, so the trend of "good Orionids" could continue in 2009. Visit http://spaceweather.com for photos and updates.

On a sultry summer day in 1935, an upper-class British family prepares for a dinner party at their country estate. The players: Briony Tallis (newcomer Saoirse Ronan), a precocious preteen writer; her older sister, Cecilia (Keira Knightley), Cambridge graduate and femme fatale; Robbie Turner (James McEvoy), the housekeeper's mensch-y son, who carries a torch for Cecilia; and various visitors and family members. A series of misperceptions, fueled by the summer heat and Briony's childish hurts and fevered imagination, lead to a dramatic false accusation that lands Robbie in jail. We meet all three characters five years later in the thick of World War II, as foot soldier Robbie prepares for the Dunkirk evacuation and the two estranged sisters train as nurses in London.

Steamboat Springs In summer 1910, the forests of the Northern Rockies were under attack. Timber barons, mining syndicates and railroad magnates had besieged the woods. These agents of industry had set up shop in the new frontier, in defiance of the conservation ethics imposed by President Teddy Roosevelt and the chief of the newly founded U.S. Forest Service, Gifford Pinchot. In the midst of this ideological maelstrom, the rangers of the understaffed and underfunded Forest Service were preparing to combat the largest wildfire in American history.
The worst drought ever known in the Pacific Northwest created the conditions for what would become a hurricane of fire. All summer long, small blazes pocked the forests of Idaho and western Montana, ignited by electrical storms and the sparks cast off by the railroads that were cutting their way through the country. It was all the Forest Service could do to try and contain the isolated fires closest to mining and timber towns like Wallace, Avery and Taft.
So, in late August, when the winds picked up — to nearly 80 mph at times — and a now consolidated wall of flames pushed west over the Continental Divide, there was little anybody could do. In all, nearly 10,000 men — the fledgling Rangers, conscripted immigrants and the all-black soldiers of the 25th Infantry — took up the hopeless fight against an inevitable fire. By September, an area the size of Connecticut had burned completely.
The firestorm of 1910 was the Hurricane Katrina of the young 20th century, a natural disaster exacerbated by mismanagement and a fundamental misunderstanding of natural processes. By fall of that year, America's relationship with the forests of the western frontier would be forever changed.
Timothy Egan's "The Big Burn" is a charged and poignant narrative history of the radical sea change in environmental politics that happened during Theodore Roosevelt's administration, and the fire that changed everything again just a year after he left office.
As much about the destructive power of greed as it is about wildfire, "The Big Burn" tells the story of two eccentrics — Roosevelt and Pinchot — who created the Forest Service to protect our natural resources, not only from fire, but from forces of nature like the Carnegies, Vanderbilts and Weyerhaeusers.
This kind of historical nonfiction often can be too dry to attract readers who aren't already interested in the subject. However, by drawing from telegrams and personal diaries of Rangers who survived the fire, Egan manages to vividly re-create the drama and horror of the event: "They wrote of giant blowtorches flaming from treetop to treetop, of house–size fireballs rolling through canyons, pushed by winds of seventy miles an hour. They told of trees swelling, sweating hot sap, and then exploding; of horses dying in seconds; of small creeks boiling, full of dead trout, their white bellies up; of bear cubs clinging to flaming trees, wailing like children."
As Egan weaves together the history of conservationism, the Forest Service and the fire of 1910, some readers might find him too subjective. He certainly makes no secret about where his sympathies lie. Roosevelt and Pinchot are painted as eccentric visionaries, fearless leaders and champions of the "people's forests." Meanwhile, Roosevelt's successor in the White House, William Taft, has all the unflattering characteristics of a feckless "pile of mush." Egan regards Taft as an obvious puppet in a time when politicians were openly bought by robber barons, men who saw nature in terms of board feet and unrealized profit.
The only problem I have with the book is its subtitle: "Teddy Roosevelt & The Fire That Saved America" seems to be a misnomer. Despite the individual heroics of the Rangers, for whom Egan has boundless admiration, the Forest Service's perceived inability to control the fire — an unfair criticism, but one that was pervasive at the time — lead to the revision of the organization. As the book draws to a close, Egan documents some of the misguided policies and compromises that were the result of the fire — clear cutting, overzealous fire mitigation, and a bias in favor of industry. Modern day Roosevelts and Pinchots still are fighting against many of these practices.

by Carol Peracchio –
One of the benefits of having been a nurse for over thirty years is that people will occasionally allow me to be brutally honest. For example, I can get away with telling an acquaintance, "God did not create gastric reflux medication just so you can eat an entire pizza and then go lie on the couch like a beached whale."
Until recently, I was willing to believe that President Obama and his party were merely way-out-leftists, even Marxists. But after listening to their response to last week's horrific economic news, I can only conclude that today's Democratic Party has lost its collective mind. In this nurse's expert opinion, Obama and the Democrats are crazy.
By "crazy," I mean looney, batty, daft, bonkers, and nutty as a fruitcake, to put it in medical terms.
On Friday, we learned that the recovering American economy added a piddling 18,000 jobs in June and that the unemployment rate rose to 9.2%. The underemployment rate jumped to 16.2%. Americans based in reality were not surprised. Contrary to the reactions of professional economists, these numbers were hardly "unexpected" to us. After all, chances are that we are unemployed or underemployed, or else we love someone who is one or the other.
But the economic picture is very different on Planet Democrat. In his comments last Friday after receiving the dismal jobs report, President Obama actually suggested:
Right now, there are over a million construction workers out of work after the housing boom went bust, just as a lot of America needs rebuilding. We connect the two by investing in rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our railways and our infrastructure. And we could put back to work right now some of those construction workers that lost their jobs when the housing market went bust.
That statement is indicative of a person suffering from delusions and a lack of short-term memory. After a trillion dollars in stimulus spending a mere year and a half ago that didn't work, President Obama suggests…more stimulus!
Today in Washington, Republicans are attempting to negotiate with the president and the Democrats on raising the debt ceiling. Why bother? Any sane adult will tell them: it is impossible to negotiate with a crazy person. And it's obvious to every rational American that today's leading Democrats are crazy.
Only a crazy person would insist that we raise taxes in a recession.
Only a crazy person would tell us that Social Security is just fine.
Only a crazy person believes that people won't vote based on the unemployment rate.
Occasionally in my work in emergency and intensive care nursing, I would be assigned a patient who was delusional in addition to whatever physical trauma or disease brought him to the hospital. These patients are challenging, to say the least. I quickly learned that if the two of us were going to make it through the shift, there were some very important ground rules.
First, the nurse must accept that the patient is delusional, and therefore a lot of the things he "knows" are not based in reality and therefore not true. Asking a delusional patient who sees a giant pink bunny in the corner what medications he takes is not the best way to gather information. Asking a Democrat who believes that the rich are not paying their fair share to come up with a budget that makes sense is ludicrous.
Second, it is impossible to compromise with a person who is not in touch with reality. Hospital staff can't realistically make a discharge plan with a patient who believes she lives in Buckingham Palace. Likewise, Republicans can't compromise with any delusional Democrat who, for example, actually believes that the 14th amendment gives the president the authority to raise the debt ceiling all by himself.
Third, it's important to avoid validating the patient's delusions by arguing about them. In nursing school, we were taught to say, "I understand that the penguin at the foot of the bed is very real to you. But I don't see it." Then simply get on with your job. Republicans need to stop wasting their breath trying to prove to crazy liberals that Medicare is going broke. Republicans will never win that argument, because the two sides are working from different solar systems. Republicans work from reality. Liberals live on Planet Democrat.
I've always been fascinated by how differently we treat crazy people who happen to be rich and/or powerful as opposed to the run-of the-mill nut found in everybody's family or workplace. Examples abound, from Howard Hughes to Michael Jackson to Charlie Sheen. Famous lunatics are surrounded by people whose livelihood depends on the crazy person. These sycophants are thus charged with keeping the famous person's more outrageous statements and antics under wraps. Should the crazy famous person actually find his way to a microphone or camera, the sycophants' responsibility is to spin the incoherency of the crazy person into something resembling rationality.
Crazy Democrats have sycophants. They are known as the mainstream media. With Obama's election, the press fully embraced its role of publicist to the looney left. The president's statements are tightly scripted and confined to his teleprompter, even when speaking at a grade school. Official business is conducted out of sight. (Note how all the debt negotiations with President Obama are being held in secret.) Should a crazy Democrat's lunacy actually be disseminated unfiltered, the press stand at the ready to explain, obfuscate, and, if all else fails, attack the messenger.
So as I observe the ongoing negotiations on raising the debt ceiling, I have to express great admiration for Speaker of the House John Boehner. I understand that many conservatives are disappointed in the speaker, wishing that he could bring the president and the Democrats to our side of the table. But how can Boehner do that when the crazy Democrats are at a fictional table on another planet?
No, John Boehner appears to be doing what a good nurse would do: get to the end of shift with as little damage as possible. In the speaker's case, that means no tax increases. Here's hoping he's able to stand firm. The bad news is that the shift isn't over until November 2012.

Strange days indeed
As digital music deals go, AC/DC's with Verizon Wireless isn't so much a fan's road to aural riches as it is a highway to hell.
Announced this morning, the deal gives Verizon exclusive rights to sell the band's entire back catalog through March 2008–but not in the way you might expect. Verizon is selling AC/DC's 18-album catalog, not as wireless "over-the-air" downloads, but as straight-to-PC downloads through its V CAST service.

DC Comics Review: The Entire DC Universe at Your Fingertips
Generic Company Place Holder DC Comics
PCWorld Rating
Graphics novels are an acquired taste. The industry seems to recognize this, and tries to make it easier to get into comics with initiatives like Free Comic Book Day, when you can just walk into almost any comic book store and leave with a free book in hand. That's just one day a year, however; what if you're curious about comics right now, but not curious enough to actually schlep over to a bookstore and buy a physical book?
DC Comics has you covered. This free app combines a comic-book reader with access to the DC Comics online store, letting you pick and choose out of a huge catalog of comic books. The store features classic heroes from the DC universe, such as Batman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman. You can browse the store by genre, creator, publisher, and even storyline. Prices range from $0.99 all the way to $4.99 per issue, but if you're just looking to get started, plenty of free offerings are available, too.
Your purchased comics are downloaded directly to your phone (for offline reading), and you can read them in the same application. DC Comics makes it easy to read comics on a phone: Instead of making you manually zoom and pan through a large page on a small screen, the app uses something called "Guided View" to let you view the comic panel-by-panel, with funky animated transitions between panels. It makes the whole comic-book experience feel much more cinematic, and is lots of fun to use.
Other than Guided View, DC Comics doesn't have a boatload of features and customizable options, but its sane defaults and huge catalog certainly make up for that. If you're looking to get started with comics, this is one app to check out.

Lord Sugar has been investigated by police for posting a joke on Twitter which sparked complaints about "racist tweets" from a woman in Liverpool.
Police have recorded the message as a "hate incident" – meaning that, though it will remain on file, it is not being treated as a criminal offence.
The Apprentice businessman posted a link to a New York Magazine photograph of three Chinese children dressed in "watermelon overalls", and said "The kid in the middle is upset because he was told off for leaving the production line of the iPhone 5."
The tweet, posted on the evening of Sunday 30 September and which has not been removed, nonetheless offended Liverpool shop owner Nichola Szeto, who complained to the Metropolitan Police.
They then got in contact with her, and Ms Szeto went to a Liverpool police station to record a statement.
Officers from the force's specialist hate crime investigation team looked into the matter, but decided that no crime took place and no charges will be brought.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, Ms Szeto said: "I told the police I just wanted to let him know it was wrong.
"They said they take this very seriously, but I said 'just leave it, I've complained now'. But they phoned back, so I went to see them."
A police spokesman said: "Merseyside Police can confirm officers received a complaint in relation to the tweet sent on the evening of Sunday 30 September.
"The communication has been examined by the force's specialist hate crime investigation team and at this time it has been recorded as a hate incident and no criminal offences have taken place.
"Officers from the specialist team will be contacting the person who made the initial complaint to discuss this."
Lord Sugar declined to comment on the matter.

New York indie groups are a dime a dozen. There, I said it. Fact of the matter is, something's in the water over there. In fact, musicians in New York City are drinking so much of it, that most bands coming out of the garages and studios of The Big Apple are starting to sound alike.
Variations of The Strokes, these groups come with no frills attached and are dedicated to rocking out, making the scene, and all of that other drivel. Skinny jeans, skinny ties, and skinny women all come back to the forefront and garage rock ventures out of the garage and on to your neighbour's kid's iPod. Such is life.
Enter French Kicks. This quartet isn't naturally from Noo Yawk, but they have sipped the water and congregated around the clubs and alleyways to set their sound firmly in the state of mind of garage rock, post-punk, and, according to some goof writing the Wikipedia article, "modded pop." Okay, now people are just making shit up.
French Kicks got on the board with a flourish, adding three heralded albums to their catalogue and receiving loads of critical approval along the way. 2002's One Time Bells, 2004's The Trial of the Century, and 2006's Two Thousand all set the quartet's legacy spinning. With 2008's Swimming, the band decided to take the reins of the recording process, and laid out the tracks themselves for the first time. The result is, according to singer and multi-instrumentalist Nick Stumpf, "that it sounds completely like us."
That's a damn good thing.
Swimming finds French Kicks making no compromises. For Stumpf, Josh Wise, and Lawrence Stumpf, the ideal way to create their new album was to give it a sort of "live" feel. They used first and second takes along with serious doses of ad-libbing to open up the creative process and allow for a naturally liberated flood of music.
This free approach is immediately identifiable, as the glad riffs of songs like "Carried Away" and the clean melodies of the lead single "Abandon" all demonstrate the band's readiness to take risks. The unrefined sound works well and the songs come across as spur-of-the-moment expressions rather than organized statements.
The no bullshit approach sets songs like "Said So What" on a different plane than most of their indie rock counterparts, as the tune's tender evolution sounds just as at home in your best friend's basement, as it does in a jam-packed concert hall. Its addictive melody is hummable and jolly. Imagine that.
Other songs showcase the band's impeccable melodic layering, like the broad and see-through sounds of "Atlanta," one of the album's trickier tracks. The use of sinuous guitar and lilting vocals gives the song an eerie yet hospitable feature.
Swimming is an unprocessed album that finds French Kicks playing in their own neighborhood for perhaps the first time in their career. Their sound, while categorically very New York, belongs just about anywhere. Packed with addictive pop melodies and just a touch of the "fancy stuff," this is vital indie rock for today's hipsters and marks a rewarding record for just about everybody else.
