WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Even if Congress and the president reach a deal to avert the fiscal cliff, the U.S. economy will still labor next year under the burden of tighter fiscal policy, said Avery Shenfeld, chief economist for CIBC World Markets and the winner of the Forecaster of the Month award from MarketWatch.
Even under the best-case scenarios, fiscal policy will contract in 2013, exerting at least some drag on the economy, Shenfeld said.

Although both political parties hope to avoid sending the economy into a recession with too severe spending cuts and tax hikes, both sides are under pressure "to make a start on deficit reduction" in 2013 and not put it off until the economy has fully recovered from the recession, he said. See MarketWatch's fiscal-cliff page.
Anything they do to reduce the deficits in the short run "will take some bite" out of the economy, he said.
So, although the economy is on an improving trend, "2013 will look a lot like 2012," Shenfeld said. In other words, another year of middling, 2% growth.
Shenfeld sees a lot to be encouraged about in the economy. In general, the household sector has been doing better than expected, while the business sector has lagged behind, especially on capital spending.
A deal on the fiscal cliff could unlock some business investment that's being delayed by the uncertainty over fiscal policy, but Shenfeld doesn't see much room for capital spending to accelerate until aggregate demand in the economy improves.
The foreign sector will be little help, he said. "It'll be hard to get a lift from exports," with Europe in recession and slower growth in emerging markets. Read how Europe's troubles are impacting U.S. manufacturers.
What's needed is for households to continue to reduce their debts so at some point they can borrow again "to spend in the service of their country," Shenfeld said. "That's what fuels growth."Read more about how households have pared their debt.
Shenfeld and his CIBC colleague Andrew Grantham won the MarketWatch award by having the most accurate forecasts on the U.S. economic data released in November. He won the award in August as well, book-ending victories by his fellow Canadians Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics in September and Sherry Cooper of BMO in October.
Shenfeld has won the contest four times.
The runners-up in the November contest were Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisers, Joe LaVorgna of Deutsche Bank, Sherry Cooper's team at BMO, and Ellen Zentner of Nomura Securities.
The median forecasts that MarketWatch publishes in the economic calendar come from the projections of the 15 forecasters who have scored the highest in our contest over the past 12 months, as well as the forecasts of the most recent winner. See our economic calendar and consensus forecast.
Over the past year, the top forecasters are, in order: Jim O'Sullivan of High Frequency Economics, David Greenlaw and Ted Wieseman of Morgan Stanley, Sherry Cooper's team at BMO, Julia Coronado of BNP Paribas, John Silvia's team at Wells Fargo, Spencer Staples of EconAlpha, Michael Feroli of J.P. Morgan, Nigel Gault and Paul Edelstein of IHS Global Insight, Ethan Harris's team at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Peter D'Antonio of Citigroup, Ellen Zentner of Nomura Securities, Avery Shenfeld of CIBC, Eric Green's team at TD Securities, Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics, and Brian Wesbury and Robert Stein of First Trust.

For more years than I care to admit, I was convinced that I was a weak person because I experience recurring episodes of depression. Out of this ill-informed self-perception emerged copious feelings of guilt and shame.
Today I know the truth. It takes a great deal of courage and inner strength to go through a lifetime of debilitating however-long episodes of clinical depression, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and any other mental illness.
There are many aspects to "going through" an episode, not to mention a lifetime of episodes.
First of all, for depression and bi-polar disorder, there is the gradual or abrupt, but certainly unmistakable, descent of mood, going from a mentally healthy (normal) state to the depths of depression. Even acknowledging the decline takes courage as one realizes that, one more, he is going to visit that black pit, the abyss, the place of utter aloneness and alienation. The fact that she has been through this countless times before doesn't lessen its impact on her current plunge.
When one experiences a mental illness episode, he or she must make adjustments in their daily living. Some people can't carry out work responsibilities when they are ill. Some are unable to face responsibilities at home. That is, one's outer life is as affected as one's inner life, and this is not easy to face.
Then there are the cruel symptoms that accompany the experience of depression: dread, fear, feelings of despair and despondency, a disintegration of self-confidence and esteem. How does one face these crippling realities without completely dissolving? She faces it with courage (coming from who-knows-where); with hope (knowing the episode will end – some time); with support hopefully (personal, medical); with steadfastness.
As one climbs out of the horrible trip to hell, he faces a world that has marched ahead without him. She has to face her friends and colleagues who may look at her askance. They have to put the strands of their "normal" lives together again – primary relationships, work commitments and other activities. So many re-adjustments, all when they have little energy with which to do this necessary reconstruction. This work requires determination, perseverance and endurance.
Most people with mental challenges choose to seek medical help, usually from a family doctor or at a walk in clinic, sometimes by going directly to the emergency department of a hospital. Some people go beyond this in seeking some sort of therapeutic help, through Interior Mental Health, a psychiatrist, or some other mental health provider (for instance, psychologist or social worker). To embark on therapy of this sort requires risk-taking and opening up: being honest about thoughts, feelings and behaviors; admitting to feelings of worthlessness and uselessness. He may have to make tough decisions about his work life. She may need to alter how she relates to her partner or children. These actions require courage and humility.
Finally, those of us with mental challenges live in a society that largely doesn't understand what living with mental illness is like.
But now you know! So, thank you for seeing us in a light of understanding and compassion; and accepting us as the brave souls we have to be.

Everything that's wrong with America's attitude towards food
THE detestable Hungry Girl Show on the Cooking Channel is the epitomy of everything that's wrong with America's attitude towards food. More on this later but I'm so regularly filled with indignation every time I hear the drone of her Rachel Ray-esque voice begetting me to watch her show so I can finally eat 'guilt-free' (there's nothing GUILTY about food... I want to bitch-slap this descriptor when placed anywhere in a sentence relating to food or eating. What's it guilty of? Petty theft? Insider trading? And, for that matter, what are YOU guilty of by partaking in the simple, LIFE-SUSTAINING act of eating!?). Can you just about hear the binge-eating session being planned post-show? I mean look at that insane grin and those heaps of food... that would be enough to serve a party of 12 in food-loving France.
To my mind, the worst cooking show on television and utilizes so little real food it would be more at home in a PBS special on Chemistry than on The Cooking Channel.

Congressional report on gun violence in U.S.
More Americans have been killed by guns in the past 50 years than in all of the wars the country has ever fought -- including the Continental Army's victory over the British in 1781.
Black men aged 15-24 are 16 times more likely to die of gunshot wounds than non-Hispanic whites. While only 20 percent of gunshot victims are women, the vast majority of them are killed by current or former romantic partners.
Those sobering statistics are in a comprehensive report on gun violence compiled by U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, D-IL, released Wednesday. The report that Kelly called the first Congressional analysis of gun violence, makes several recommendations, including treating gun violence as a mental health issue.
Po Murray, vice chairman of the Newtown Action Alliance, said in the report there have been 57 school shootings since Adam Lanza blasted his way into Sandy Hook Elementary on Dec. 14, 2012, killing 20 first-graders and six educators.
"More than 30,000 Americans lose their lives to gun violence every year, and 70,000 ... are injured,'' Murray wrote. "These alarming statistics have not moved those members of Congress influenced by the gun lobby to support stronger gun laws.''
Kelly in her report proposes treating gun violence as a public-health issue, much as alcoholism and dangerous driving has been.
"Traffic safety experts do not think that drivers today are much better than they were in the 1950s, but fatalities per mile driven have fallen by more than 80 percent.''
"Upstream prevention'' including safer cars and laws requiring the use of seat belts was largely responsible for that, and similar strategies could bring down the amount of gun violence.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., has introduced a federal "Lori Jackson Violence Survivor Protection Act" in an attempt to require the seizure of firearms from people who threaten domestic violence.
Scott Gellatly is charged with killing Jackson, his estranged wife, in her parents' Oxford home, and injuring her mother despite a court order barring him from possessing a gun..
Merry Jackson, Lori's mother, claimed that Gellatly, 46, was able to purchase the murder weapon out of state. There is no national system to prohibit those under restraining orders from purchasing a firearm elsewhere and bringing it back into the state.
More Information30,000 Americans die from gun violence a year
70,000 injured every year
57 school shootings since Newtown
Black men ages 15-24 are 16 times more likely to die of gunshot wounds than non-Hispanic whites

As stated before, we need some sensitive information from each botnet that enables us to place a fake bot into a botnet. The needed information include:
Using a GenII Honeynet containing some Windows honeypots and snort_inline enables us to collect this information. We deployed a typical GenII Honeynet with some small modifications as depicted in the next figure:
The Windows honeypot is an unpatched version of Windows 2000 or Windows XP. This system is thus very vulnerable to attacks and normally it takes only a couple of minutes before it is successfully compromised. It is located within a dial-in network of a German ISP. On average, the expected lifespan of the honeypot is less than ten minutes. After this small amount of time, the honeypot is often successfully exploited by automated malware. The shortest compromise time was only a few seconds: Once we plugged the network cable in, an SDBot compromised the machine via an exploit against TCP port 135 and installed itself on the machine.
As explained in the previous section, a bot tries to connect to an IRC server to obtain further commands once it successfully attacks one of the honeypots. This is where the Honeywall comes into play: Due to the Data Control facilities installed on the Honeywall, it is possible to control the outgoing traffic. We use snort_inline for Data Control and replace all outgoing suspicious connections. A connection is suspicious if it contains typical IRC messages like " 332 ", " TOPIC ", " PRIVMSG " or " NOTICE ". Thus we are able to inhibit the bot from accepting valid commands from the master channel. It can therefore cause no harm to others - we have caught a bot inside our Honeynet. As a side effect, we can also derive all necessary sensitive information for a botnet from the data we have obtained up to that point in time: The Data Capture capability of the Honeywall allows us to determine the DNS/IP-address the bot wants to connect to and also the corresponding port number. In addition, we can derive from the Data Capture logs the nickname and ident information. Also, the server's password, channel name as well as the channel password can be obtained this way. So we have collected all necessary information and the honeypot can catch further malware. Since we do not care about the captured malware for now, we rebuild the honeypots every 24 hours so that we have "clean" systems every day. The German Honeynet Project is also working on another project - to capture the incoming malware and analyzing the payload - but more on this in a later section.

David Bowie's 'The Next Day' Video Criticized By the Catholic League
David Bowie's explicit new video for 'The Next Day' has angered the Catholic League. On their website, president Bill Donohue crucified the three-minute-long clip (embedded below) while referring to the singer as a "switch-hitting, bisexual, senior citizen from London."
The reaction is likely no surprise to Bowie or his fans. The plot follows a priest (played by Gary Oldman) who punches the homeless, hits on scantily clad women and frequents a sort of house of sin where eyeballs are served and self-flagellation is a commonplace as darts are in England pubs today. Bowie is dressed as Jesus, and in the end he ascends to heaven, only after the female lead (Marion Cotillard) develops stigmata.
"Bowie is nothing if not confused about religion," Donohue writes before quoting the rocker's comments about Buddhism and several other religions. "Not sure what he believes in today … but it's a sure bet he can't stop thinking about the Cadillac of all religions, namely Roman Catholicism. There is hope for him yet."
Rolling Stone reports that YouTube also banned the video on Wednesday for violating its terms of service, but restored it hours later. The title of the video warns that it is explicit. 'The Next Day' is the title-track of Bowie's most recent album.
This is not the first time the sight of Bowie onscreen has raised the ire of religious conservatives. In 1988, he appeared as Pontius Pilate in Martin Scorsese's controversial film, 'The Last Temptation of Christ.'

Monty Python Killer Rabbit Slippers
The Holy Grail - Part II
- Cozy, wearable versions of the most feared rabbit
- Mouth opens and closes when you walk
- Do not sue us if the rabbits kill you; it's not OUR fault, you were warned
The last time you saw the Killer Rabbit, it was blown to bits by the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But that was just the beginning of the poor Rabbit's saga. You see, Tim the Enchanter, bored after the party broke up, resurrected the feared bunny and sent it back to live in the hills. That's where it met another killer bunny, and they bred like…well, rabbits. Tim returned years later as owner and guide of "The Holy Grail Filming Location Tour" and realized how wrong his decision had been. Instead of one Killer Rabbit, there were now thousands of them.
After the tour group fled and filed a major class action lawsuit against Tim, he had to do something to recoup his losses. He conjured a giant mallet and began pounding the Killer Rabbits into slippers, which he sold. The slippers were an instant hit, and Tim now happily resides in a beach house in Malibu. Alas, after a few months the Killer Rabbit was declared an endangered species - so he had plush versions made, which we now offer to you. Each pair is one size fits most, and features flapping mouth action (when you walk, the mouth flaps). Just think, for each pair you buy, two real Killer Rabbits are spared malleting (and Tim gets to drink one more Mai Tai).
Killer Rabbit slippers fit up to a Men's Size 12 (US sizes).

Procedural Error By Law Enforcement Means Restraining Order On Kim Dotcom 'Null And Void'
from the oops dept
The police apparently realized this and tried to apply for the proper restraining order after the fact, explaining to the judge that they had made five specific errors in the initial application. The judge is now figuring out what to do and whether or not this means that the government needs to return Dotcom's property. Of course, there's a good chance that the judge will allow the government to continue to hold the property and admit merely that "mistakes were made" and that they've now been corrected. However, given how many mistakes we've already seen in this case -- and the apparent carelessness with which so much of it happened -- it leads you to wonder how many other "errors" or shortcuts law enforcement in both New Zealand and the US took in bringing this case forward.
It's no secret that Dotcom's larger-than-life persona has been an easy target in the attacks on Megaupload, but it's beginning to appear that law enforcement assumed that just because the guy is an obnoxious show-off with a criminal past that it didn't need to actually follow all the rules in bringing a case against him this time. That's not how the judicial system is supposed to work.

Photos of Tommy Ton's Fashion Editorial Debut in Vogue Nippon October 2010 Issue
Blogger Overload: Tavi Styles Again, Rumi Models, and Tommy Ton Makes Fashion Editorial Debut in Vogue Nippon October 2010

Tommy Ton, meanwhile, who has built quite the rapport with Vogue Nippon's fashion director-at-large, Anna Dello Russo — she recently invited him to her country home for a photo session — has taken the relationship professional. Ton thanked Dello Russo via Twitter for giving him his first-ever fashion editorial, published in Vogue Nippon's October 2010 issue (Ton has previously done a set of portraits of Tavi for Vogue Paris). The editorial, "A Renaissance of Style," which is styled by Dello Russo's assistant Aurora Sansone, features Ton's signature street-style-inspired shots — with plenty of shoe and bag close-ups — of Suzanne Diaz and Tatiana Cotliar. Take a look at his editorial debut, below.

More activity seen at North Korea nuke test site
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. researchers detect increased activity at North Korea's nuclear test site but remain unsure when an underground explosion might happen.
South Korea said last week, as President Barack Obama toured East Asia, that the North appeared ready to conduct its fourth nuclear test since 2006 at Punggye-ri.
The North Korea-watching website 38 North says commercial satellite images taken Tuesday show vehicles and equipment outside a tunnel entrance. It says past practice suggests those would all be withdrawn immediately before any blast.
The imagery also shows possible signs of digging at another part of Punggye-ri, further sign a test is not imminent.
The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security said VIPs may have recently visited the site and a test could happen soon, but it's difficult to determine when.

NeverDead serves as a reminder that there are fates worse than death. I imagine rolling around as a dismembered head and trying to reattach my limbs as one such possibility. Rebellion Developments recently released its take on the action genre with a tale of an undead protagonist who's not above losing his noggin when necessary.
Bryce Boltzmann wasn't always a disheveled, chain-smoking mess. More than 500 years ago, he was a demon hunter cursed with immortality by the demon, Astaroth, who also killed his wife. Now working as a disgruntled paranormal investigator for the government in the present day, Bryce learns Astaroth is again trying to enter the human world. It's up to him and his partner, Arcadia Maximille, to prevent Astaroth's resurrection.

Product Details
Factory Style Rear Spoiler by Pure®. Get the factory spoiler your car didn't get from the factory. Spoilers can be optional equipment or standard on performance models. For whatever reason your car didn't get one but now you can change that with this Factory Type Rear Spoiler. It comes with everything required for installation.
- Factory high performance style for less money
- Available painted or unpainted
- Comes with everything required for installation
- Backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
At high speeds a properly designed spoiler can provide downforce at the rear of a car, and in some cases it may even improve aerodynamics, depending on the car's shape. The distance between the rear edge of the roof and the back end of the car can be very steep, disrupting airflow and increasing drag. This distance can, in effect, be lengthened or the slope made gentler by a spoiler, which will prevent airflow separation and reduce drag. Of course, these effects can usually only be realized at speeds in excess of the legal limit. The factory installs spoilers more for aesthetics than performance, and now you can have the same image of speed for your car. This factory style spoiler will enhance your car's shape and improve its silhouette.
The Factory Style Rear Spoiler is made of high quality material. The spoiler comes with everything necessary for a hassle free installation, including detailed instructions.
And although it can be ordered unpainted, Pure strongly encourages you to select the painted option. The company's computerized paint mixing system enables them to guarantee that your spoiler will match your factory paint, and it's unlikely that a local body shop will be able to paint your spoiler for less than the price difference.
The Factory Style Rear Spoiler is manufactured in the USA. Pure warrants the spoiler against manufacturer's defects for a period of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Pure® is a premier manufacturer of quality aftermarket spoilers for all makes and models. The company's knowledgeable personnel produce over 500 part numbers with quality craftsmanship in their Grand Prairie, Texas facility that features in-house tooling and painting departments. In this highly competitive market, Pure stays ahead of their rivals with new product development that enables them to be first to market with the newest products, vehicle specific designs and numerous "no drill" applications.

Great Gift for a DIYer: Electric Sander
I was just using my electric sander, which I've owned for more than 10 years now, to sand down the spackle job I did on my bathroom walls. I've decided to wallpaper and wanted a smooth surface. My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift since I've always been interested in DIY projects, mostly refinishing furniture.
I've moved what seems like a hundred times since then, lived in big cities on both coasts, and in teeny tiny apartments. This sander has always made the cut with the very few essentials that have traveled with me between moves 3,000 miles across.
I've used the sander on used furniture to make one-of-a-kind pieces, lent it to friends for their own DIY needs, and will likely use it when I eventually remove this new wallpaper.
It's the only electric tool I own and it's literally smaller than a shoebox so I can store it away in my limited closet space. My Makita model isn't available anymore (BO4551) but I've listed a similar one below, along with other highly rated sanders you might want to try, all under $100:
- Makita 1/4 in. Sheet Finishing Sander with Case
- Bosch 5 in. Random Orbit Sander
- DEWALT D26451K Corded 3 Amp 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander
- Porter-Cable Bare Tool Detail Power Sander

I live near Nottingham and travel extensively in the UK (both work and leisure). My first love has always been the Lake District. I'm a hillwalker and love the Lakeland fells as well as the Scottish hills. My passion is for grand glaciated scenery - after these sort of mountains a lot of landscapes seem lacking in wow factor.
As well as enjoying independent travel I like (informal, budget) cruises and think they're a good way to see a lot of places with a minimum of exhaustion. Don't necessarily dismiss cruises - there's a certain appeal to waking up in a new place without having to pack or sit on a plane/bus/train for hours. Admittedly you don't get to immerse yourself in the local culture, but there are some parts of the world where a quick look is enough and you'd be happy to return to a decent bed and safe food. ...But I wouldn't want to see the whole world that way.
I know the Lake District and Scotland well. Post any questions at my talk page.

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 - Long Time Coming
More than three decades in the making, Mark Bard's restomod Mach I is a testament to perseverance…and procrastination
By its very definition, a project is something that takes time, and we don't have to tell most of you holding this magazine in your procrastinating hands that some projects tend to drag out seemingly as long as the Chicago Cubs have been trying to win a World Series title. When Mark Bard started on this '70 Mach I restomod, the term didn't even exist.
It was 1977 and Jimmy Carter was in the first year of his one and only term, filling the Oval Office with cases of his brother's Billy Beer. Then again, Bard—who hails from Tilbury, Ontario, Canada—would have been more in tune with the Right Honorable Pierre Trudeau, who was Canada's prime minister back then. Either way, CB radios were the cell phones of the day, wood paneling was the basement décor of choice, and a new sci-fi movie called Star Wars was drawing fans dressed in their bell-bottoms and halter tops to movie theaters.
Bard was a young, wrench-turning enthusiast who traded a Pinto and a fistful of cash for the original Mach I (one of 3,528 built with a 351C-4V and one of only 450 to come with a white interior). Back then, a year in the life of a car was like dog years and it was nothing for a car less than 10 years old to have already experienced tremendous wear and tear. So, it didn't dissuade Bard at all that the original 351 Cleveland and four-speed had long been replaced by a slushbox-backed 302. He drove the car for a couple of years with plans on fixing it up further, but the smug feeling that came with trading a Pinto for a Mach I was shattered when he discovered the car been hit hard early in its life.
"Once I started on it, I found it had been hit all down the left side and repaired with a ton of body filler," says Bard. "Everything under the carpet was rotten, too—the framerails, torque boxes, trunk, and more. The car wasn't even 10 years old at the time!"
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
Over the next few years, as time and funds permitted, the car was back halved with new wheeltubs, trunk pan, and framerails. And as so many of us can relate, progress on the project halted in 1981, as Bard spent the next few years focusing on his new shop: Sparky's Performance Centre, which he still runs there in Tilbury.
"When I opened the shop, the Mach I went into a storage shed," he says. "I always planned to finish the car, so I kept a list of everything I was going to need and would go to the Ford dealership periodically to buy parts. Back then, just about everything was still available. Those were the days!"
Flashing forward nearly 20 years, Sparky's underwent an expansion in 1999 that included a dedicated bay for the Mustang, but still Bard didn't have the time to spin the wrenches on his own car. (He had also started a body shop.) By 2006, however, he finally made the time and jumped back into the dormant project with the gusto of a Star Wars fan who's had a few too many Billy Beers. That included taking a few steps back and undoing some of the previous work.
"We built a jig so that the car would be put back together nice and square, but it required taking some of the stuff I'd already done apart, including spot welds," he says. "It was a tough way to get going again, but it was the right way to go."
With the Mustang firmly affixed to the jig, all-new floors, framerails, torque boxes, trunk pan, wheeltubs, quarter-panels, doors, and fenders were installed, along with an all-new front frame assembly—we believe there are still a few square inches of the original roof in there somewhere. Fortunately, that cache of original Ford parts Bard had accumulated in the early '80s included sheetmetal, so he was able to fit genuine N.O.S. fenders and more to the car.
By the late-2000s, the aesthetic for modified cars had changed from ladder bars clamped to the axle and chrome velocity stacks pushing through the hood, and Bard rightfully went the restomod route, finally putting dreams of metal-flaked paint and a crushed red velvet dashboard out of his head. In there place is the appearance of a nicely restored Mustang that, upon closer inspection, reveals a number of clever details. The color, for instance, isn't Grabber Orange; it's a Lamborghini color with a pearlescent quality that has to be viewed from different angles to fully appreciate it. And the Mach I Shaker scoop isn't an original '70 piece, either. It's from the 2003 model. The scoop has been modified to accept the air inlet for a Paxton-blown 351.
The RideTech air suspension is another of the car's signature features and Bard claims his was one of the first Fords to be equipped with one.
"It was an interesting process adapting it to the car," he says. "I'd call them for technical assistance, but it seemed I was giving them back as much technical advice on the installation for Mustangs as they were giving me in general for the system itself."
You'd think that after nearly 35 years that Bard wouldn't have felt rushed to complete the car, but by early 2011 he was feeling the squeeze of getting it to the Motor City for the Detroit Autorama—one of the largest and most prestigious indoor car shows.
"There was an all-nighter to get it finished, just like you see on one of those cable TV shows about building cars," he says. "With the help of a bunch of good friends, the car was loaded on a trailer at 7 a.m. and delivered to Detroit, where it won its class. Three weeks later, it was named the Best Ford and one of the Top 10 overall at Toronto Speedworld."
The awards have kept coming, too, as Bard and the Mustang take home a trophy at just about every event they attend. That's quite a few, too, because the car is a driver and the owner enjoys exercising its more than 700-horse supercharged engine and banging through the gears of the Top Loader transmission behind it. We simply don't have the space on these pages to show every last detail, but believe us, the underside is as sanitary as everything within eyeshot.
It's also the perfect calling card for Bard's restoration services, exemplifying craftsmanship, creativity, and excellent attention to detail. He swears, too, that customer projects don't take 30 years to complete!

Japan Cutting U.S. Beef Tariffs, Restaurant Menus Changing
- Reuters reports Japan is considering cutting U.S. beef import tariffs to less than 10-percent from 38.5-percent as part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations.
This cut would be bigger than the one negotiated recently with Australia. Along with this proposal, Japan is considering imposing restrictions, if U.S. beef imports increase considerably due to the decreased tariff.
The U.S. still has various agricultural sectors it wants Japan to open so there is still considerable distance between U.S. and Japan on TPP negotiations.
- A market research firm has discovered the use of the term organic on restaurant menus has declined by 28-percent from the fourth quarter in 2010 to the fourth quarter in 2013.
One expert says there is a return to terms classic, original and homemade because organic foods are expensive and consumers want alternatives that still let them know the food they are eating is safe and good quality.
The market research also shows the term gluten free is appearing more frequently on restaurant menus.
The biggest growth in ingredient claims came from nutritional claims, an increase of 14 percent, and geographic claims, an increase of 12 percent.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he had "absolute confidence" the sale of the Clippers would be completed by mid-July because the indemnification team co-owner Shelly Sterling agreed to should protect the league from lawsuits brought by her husband, Donald.
The agreement means the Sterling trust that controls the team would pay for any legal judgment or settlement that Donald Sterling obtained.
"In essence, Donald is suing himself and he knows that," Silver told reporters on Sunday before Game 2 of the NBA Finals at the AT&T Center. "While I understand he is frustrated, I think it's over."
Donald Sterling has vacillated in his stance on the proposed $2-billion sale of the team, which he presided over for three decades, to former Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer. Sterling vowed to drop his $1-billion antitrust lawsuit against the league. But he has not signed off on the transfer of ownership, because he reportedly wants the NBA to rescind the lifetime ban and $2.5-million fine it issued after an audio recording surfaced in which Sterling made racially charged remarks.
Silver said there was "absolutely no possibility" the punishment would be withdrawn.
The commissioner reiterated Shelly Sterling's position that she does not need her husband's approval to sell the Clippers because she became sole trustee of the trust that controls the team when medical experts found Donald Sterling mentally unfit.
Nevertheless, Silver said, Shelly Sterling's attorneys have notified the league that the couple planned to work out their remaining dispute.
Silver said Ballmer needed to undergo additional vetting as part of his bid to buy the Clippers, including an interview with the NBA's advisory finance committee. If everything checks out, league owners could vote to approve Ballmer at a scheduled board of governors meeting next month, if not sooner.
Ballmer has told the league he intends to close the deal as full owner before possibly bringing in partners.
Shelly Sterling remains free to attend Clippers games, Silver said, but will have no other future role with the team. A proposed foundation created by Shelly Sterling would not directly involve the Clippers other than to include money used from the sale of the team.
Silver said he has spoken with Donald Sterling once since the commissioner issued the lifetime ban.
"I certainly learned nothing new from that conversation with him," said Silver, who has been sued individually by Donald Sterling in addition to the lawsuit Sterling filed against the league. "He was distraught … but he was not remorseful at that time."
Though Silver spent most of his news conference discussing the Clippers sale and the air-conditioning malfunction that led to sweltering temperatures for Game 1 between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat, he also touched on a few other issues. He indicated he was in favor of a hard salary cap or "a harder cap," which he said would improve competitive balance throughout the league.
Silver also said the league wanted to examine ways to improve the lottery and playoff seedings but said he did not anticipate any major changes being implemented next season.

With over 30 new cars and trucks to be revealed to the press Monday and Tuesday for the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, the American consumer will judge whether or not Motor City gets the message on what they want -- and need.
There have been signs in recent months to indicate they do. "The auto industry is coming back strong from what has been a difficult economy, Paul Taylor, chief economist of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) says. "Auto sales are playing a key role in leading the economic recovery."
Last week in Las Vegas and New York, Ford revealed a fully electric version of its 2012 Ford Focus compact car with hybrid models to be sold this year. And G.M.'s much hyped plug-in electric hybrid, the Chevrolet Volt, began deliveries late last year.
Among the no-shows this year will include Nissan, Infiniti, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Suzuki, Mitsubishi and American made Fisker (even though its first 2011 Karma range-extended electric vehicles are scheduled to arrive at U.S. dealers in March or April).
Come back for updates to this slideshow as the show continues.

George Clooney Wanted Ryan Gosling to Be Sexiest Man Alive
George Clooney leaves a restaurant after having lunch with his The Descendants co-star, Beau Bridges, on Wednesday (November 16) in Los Angeles.
The night before, the 50-year-old attended the premiere of the dramedy with gal pal Stacy Keibler.
On the red carpet, George told Extra he was hoping his Ides of March co-star Ryan Gosling would be crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive – a title that went to Bradley Cooper.
"[Ryan] really wants it. He's been saying … the whole time we were on the set of Ides, he was like, 'How did you pull that off?' So I called up Brad Pitt and we worked with him for weeks on the walk. We told him how to train, everything," George, who's been named Sexiest Man Alive twice, joked.

Mexico -- One Plate at a Time with Rick Bayless "Tacos Hola!" We find Rick and his daughter, Lanie, at the Mexico City's colorful Sonora Market, an emporium of medicinal herbs and the best place in town to buy cazuelas, the beautifully rustic earthenware cooking and serving casseroles that define a whole class of stews and taco fillings. We tend to think of taquerias for their familiar grilled and griddled fillings, like carne asada. But, Rick explains, there's a whole world of stands and shops that have no grill at all and specialize in satisfyingly homey, slow-cooked fillings made in cazuelas with everything from stewed meat to richly flavorful vegetables.

Alexis Taylor, the diminutive frontman of the increasingly brilliant Hot Chip has always been a bit of an eccentric. He loves the pop of Prince and the shimmering R&B productions of Timbaland, yet his own work adheres firmly to the quirky end of the pop continuum. So it was hard to know what to expect from this surprise EP, which follows hotly on the tail of Hot Chip's latest, In Our Heads. Especially given that its title references a bizarre bit of footballing trivia from 1993. More of Nayim later.
Opener, 'Rhodes Dream', sets the playful tone of the EP well, as funky staccato bass allied to tight mechanical percussion gradually ebbs away to reveal a fun loving, hedonistic core. The titular piano sound enters, as does a helium treated Alexis falsetto, to create a vibe akin to Stevie Wonder making EDM. It's short and glorious, a perfectly formed slice of outré disco. The following track treads a similarly off kilter path. Cresting on the same house tempos to which much of In Our Heads moved, 'You Want Me' is classic, catchy Hot Chip yet lacking the same big band gloss so obvious on their recent excursions. Instead of crisp and precise song structures, we are treated to extended bongo breakdowns and lengthy didgeridoo style locked grooves (on 'Hot Squash'). Despite its loose limbed, jam like feel the record still sounds unmistakeably like a solo/bedroom project; the work of a hyperactive virtuoso playing with keyboards and having a whale of a time.
Essentially, this release feels like an opportunity for a man brimming with ideas to let off some steam. Away from the Hot Chip moniker, Taylor can unleash his more experimental impulses without laying siege to a carefully streamlined LP of potential hits. This 'just playing' mentality is most marked on the nine minute plus Dan Deacon esque closer, 'Jesus' Birthday' (alas not a potential Christmas hit). Here Taylor strays just over the gossamer thin line separating 'experimental' from 'formless', as vaguely melodic synths unaided by percussion amble interminably throughout the song's mammoth running time.
After Hot Chip's triumphant previous three LPs, Alexis Taylor has earned the right for his Nayim-like punt from the half way line. Though while this EP isn't going to win the Uefa Cup in injury time and make the England keeper look like a buffoon in the process, it does provide an insight into the creative cauldron that is the mind behind one of the UK's most (rightfully) cherished bands. The first two tracks alone are worth the entrance fee, and as such the occasional lapse into indulgence or kitsch is excusable. So if this EP serves as a release valve for Taylor's eccentricities, preventing them from marring the next Hot Chip record, we should definitely be thankful.

FROM THE FRONT | The dirty secret of the Brazilian Blowout
IT SEEMS the business of straightening unruly follicles a la Brasileira is coming clean about its dirty little secret. The formaldehyde-free Brazilian Blowout? Possibly not as free from the cancer-causing chemical as you've been led to believe.
A month ago, while chatting with the creative director of Tela salons during Fashion's Night Out, Nadine Jolie, said creative director and I had a hushed discussion about the Brazilian Blowout's dirty little secret. Actually, it was more like Jolie and the creative director had a discussion about it and I listened intently, having been cursed with stick-straight hair (read: FLAT, FINE and THIN... grass is not always greener, ladies. Naturally straight hair is often lifeless too), I've never ever given straightening treatments a first thought, let alone a second. In fact, I generally give them a wide berth all together, fearing that even physical closeness to shelves of products like John Frieda's Frizz Ease will further flatten hair that seems to cling to my scalp for dear life.
Jolie wrote about the possible formaldehyde in the Brazilian Blowout a couple weeks ago (released into the air during the treatment, to be inhaled by customer and stylist alike) after an independent test in Oregon found – after a stylist administering the treatment complained of adverse reactions – that the formaldehyde-free treatments actually contained – gasp – upwards of 10% formaldehyde!
Jolie further points out that those claiming to be Keratin treatments are betting on the ignorance of the customer? Because, as she points out, "Keratin does not straighten hair; it's a fortifying protein which can make the hair look shinier, but will in no way produce the dramatic, very long-lasting straightening and sleekifying results common to the Brazilian. Keratin, in fact, requires a reactive agent to bond to the hair…like formaldehyde." Dr. Jessica Wu says the same thing with regards to Keratin's lack of straightening power in an article about the pros and cons of the treatment. Which brings me to yet another claim that needs debunking. Such blowouts cannot (contrary to what the company claims) restore your hair to health. By their very nature they're weakening the protein structure so that strands can be trained into a different shape (e.g. straight instead of curly). Last time I checked, making something weaker – other than my evening cocktail – was not health restoring.
Brazilian Blowout has issued two releases standing behind their products. But we wonder if, like Jolie touches on, it's a matter of verbiage? For example, their releases stand behind their products as being formaldehyde (in name) free but they don't claim that they are free from formaldehyde derivatives or formaldehyde in varying states (which take on different names). Sort of sounds like carefully crafted legalisse, doesn't it?
Why don't you want formaldehyde in your hair treatments? Let's make a list, shall we? It might be naturally occurring (and in everything from smog to facial tissues) but that still doesn't make this aldehyde something you want in your haircare:
Known (key word here) carcinogen in humans as per the EPA and WHO
Associated with sinus and throat cancers and possibly Leukemia
Can make asthma worse
Irritates eyes, skin, nose and throat
Because there are few to to no regulations on ingredients in or claims for many cosmetic products
Because OSHA suggests using goggles and even respirators if you deal with more than .1% Formaldehyde in the workplace
And, really, you won't believe it, but all of us naturally straight-haired girls would give anything -- particularly our limp locks -- to have your voluminous, sexy curls.

Jed Rubenfeld's The Interpretation of Murder is perhaps the most intriguing novel I have ever read – certainly the most Byzantine crime fiction you'll come across.
It takes place in 1909 New York City, a curious time of change from the old Victorian days to high-rise development, population explosion and fading entitlement of the aristocracy. It was the year that Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung came to New York from Vienna to establish Freud's heretical theories of what he coined psychoanalysis.
Freud and Jung were met at the quayside by Drs. Abraham Brill and Stratham Younger, acolytes of Freud's newly minted psychoanalysis. The science revealed repressed childhood sexual disturbance, primarily in the form of the male's Oedipal complex and the female's Electra Complex, the root cause of adult neurotic behavior. This scheduled week of lectures and ceremonies in New York and Boston was to be the zenith of Freud's outing of the salacious workings of the human mind – a mite premature if not overly ambitious, and decidedly disastrous.
At the same time as this non-event, first one and then another ingénue of New York's noblesse is indecently assaulted, one even murdered. Dr. Younger, a newly commissioned physician specializing in psychiatry and ingenuously devoted to Freud's shattering of convention, is acquainted with one victim and insinuates himself at her bedside to aid the young beauty in recovering her voice and memory of the horror. The circumstances couldn't be more ideal for applying psychoanalysis, made nearly perfect by Freud being a chat away.
Rubenfeld is a professor of law at Yale University. Previously he studied at the Juilliard School of Drama, specializing in Shakespeare. He obviously knows research and has left no detail about Freud, turn-of-the-century New York, or Shakespeare's "Hamlet" out of this fascinating novel. Hamlet's "To be or not to be ..." soliloquy plays large in this story, its fraught interpretation made clear by Freud and used by young Dr. Younger to enlighten the mystery of these heinous crimes.
Notwithstanding the embedded history and psychology in The Interpretation of Murder, the New York City police department, coroner and Mayor McClellan himself are on high alert because of this perpetration to the network of grandee families. All do their best to keep besmirching information from the press and the rest of fashionable society.
In traipses Detective Jimmy Littlemore, in charge of the investigation and wholly out of his element. His name, ingeniously contrived by Rubenfeld, is a non sequitur in the flesh. Police procedure in 1909 is without forensics, and Littlemore, it seems for a long time, is little more than incapable of solving what appears to be the beginning of serial sexual assaults to debutantes by one of their own.
The crimes – analyzed through psychoanalysis, Shakespeare and the plodding but savvy police work of Littlemore – get solved to the dissatisfaction of everyone but the reader. Rubenfeld has written a classic page turner populated with historical people, places and customs. I suspect this book is Rubenfeld's magnum opus and he will not write another – why would he? It's nearly perfect.

Facebook's 3rd Biggest Advertiser Accused Of Being Affiliate Toolbar Scam; Facebook Says It's Never Heard Of The Company
from the just-like-the-old-days... dept
Marshall Kirkpatrick, over at ReadWriteWeb, digs in deeper and wonders if anyone at Facebook or Microsoft is actually minding the store. Even if they didn't directly know this was happening, if this is really the third largest advertiser on Facebook, both of those companies had to know something was up, just based on the numbers. A company like Facebook is intimately aware of its third biggest advertiser, and if the company is really driving that much traffic to Bing, then Microsoft would surely know about it as well.
Of course, this is where the story gets more bizarre. While Microsoft's response to this story was to cut off the company, Facebook's response was to claim that the company isn't an advertiser at all, let alone the third largest advertiser on the site. So how is it that reports suggest the company is the third largest advertiser, when Facebook claims they're not an advertiser at all? The company does have a slight hedge, by saying that "any affiliates that try to push people there we would shut down." So it's possible that it was hidden through some sort of affiliate setup before Facebook caught it -- but no one seems to be revealing any of the details.
Either way, all of this sounds quite reminiscent of the old adware days, where all sorts of sketchy companies would trick people into installing software to scrape up affiliate revenue. We hadn't seen much of that lately, as many of the old players eventually got wiped out, but it's hardly a surprise that similar schemes would quickly jump up in a Facebook world, whether or not it was officially through Facebook's advertising functionality.
