Auburn readies for vote
Other warrants include a $34,675 mosquito control program, and a lease/purchase agreement on a replacement fire truck for the department with questions of the cost and the merits of the lease method.
The fire warrant will approve a seven- to eight-year lease as a part of a department program to keep their trucks on a 20-year life cycle, setting up a regular replacement cycle using such lease arrangements to keep up their fleet without having to force big onetime expenditures on the voters or run a truck past its lifecycle. The payments will come from surpluses, and will not raise the tax rate.
If all warrants pass, the town portion of the tax rate will be set at $4.39 per $1,000 of property value, a 20-cent increase from last year's rate. That translates to a $50 increase in the tax bill of a $250,000 home.
On the school side, Auburn voters will be presented with a relatively straightforward ballot. An operating budget of $11,609,192 (with a default budget of $11,437,610), and a collective bargaining agreement are the only two warrants with a tax impact. The remaining article would place $25,000 into the School Construction Expendable Trust Fund, but the money will come from from a surplus and will have no tax impact as a result.
Auburn will only see three contested races this election: the first for selectman between incumbent James Headd and Audrey Trickett, and the second for library trustee between incumbent Feria "Fay" Hanscomb and David Smiley.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations is again demanding that South Korea cancel its upcoming joint military exercises with the United States.
Sin Son Ho's words echoed similar demands by the North's National Defense Commission earlier this month, when it proposed the rivals halt military actions and mutual vilification to build better relations.
"We again propose immediately and unconditionally halting all military and hostile acts targeting the fellow countrymen in collusion with outsiders," Ho said in a rare press conference.
South Korea has so far rejected the North's offer to take a series of steps to ease tensions that include canceling the military drills, saying Pyongyang must take nuclear disarmament steps first.
The ambassador took questions but referred everyone to North Korean media and his speech for answers.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9 (UPI) -- Twitter will begin rolling out its new profile page design in the coming weeks, and the redesign already appears on certain celebrity pages.
The redesign, which makes a user's profile page look very similar to Facebook's design, will come with a larger profile picture and header image, and will showcase the user's most popular tweets. Users can also pin their favorite tweets to their profile page. Twitter's mainstay, its main feed that lists new tweets in chronological order, will remain unchanged.
The redesign is immediately available to new users and has been applied to certain celebrity profiles, such as first lady Michele Obama (@flotus), movie stars Zac Efron (@zacefron) and Channing Tatutm (@channingtatum) and star of the hit TV show Scandal, Kerry Washington (@kerrywashington).
The update will only apply to the desktop version of the service and not to smartphone or tablet apps, which are the most popular ways the service is used.
Another new feature is a filter that visitors to a profile page can use to view tweets: original tweets, tweets plus replies to others, and tweets with photos or videos.
The redesign is another attempt by the social media company to increase its user growth, which has been sluggish. In February, the company said it had 241 million average monthly users in the fourth quarter, a slight increase from the previous quarter.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Dealership Failed to Accommodate Employee's Request to Observe Sabbath
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Elk Grove car dealership Maita Chevrolet violated federal law when its management failed to accommodate a Seventh-Day Adventist employee, and instead harassed, disciplined, and discharged him because of his religion, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced in a federal lawsuit filed today,
According to the EEOC's investigation, Anthony Okon, a Nigerian immigrant and a Seventh-Day Adventist, worked for Maita Chevrolet as a car salesman from April 2005 to May 2007. A key tenet of his faith is to observe the Sabbath by refraining from secular work from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. The company persistently scheduled him to work shifts during his Sabbath despite numerous requests from Okon and his pastor explaining the requirements of their religion. In addition, the EEOC alleges that Okon was harassed, denied work on Sundays, and ultimately disciplined and discharged for taking leave to observe his Sabbath.
"It is a terrible thing to be asked to choose between practicing your faith and supporting your family," stated Okon. "I was recognized for my customer service and teamwork, and I was willing to work any other time. No matter how I tried to explain my religion, the company told me that they could make no exceptions, and everyone had to be available for work every day."
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on religion and requires employers to accommodate the sincere religious beliefs or practices of employees unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the business. After first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through conciliation, the EEOC filed the lawsuit (EEOC v. Maita Chevrolet Geo, No. CV11-4815-JSC) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and seeks monetary damages on behalf of Okon, training on anti-discrimination laws, and other steps to prevent future discrimination.
EEOC San Francisco Regional Attorney William R. Tamayo said, "Where there is a conflict between an employee's religious beliefs and work rules, the law mandates that an employer make a sincere effort to accommodate those beliefs. Maita Chevrolet's refusal to explore any workable solutions with Mr. Okon was not only illegal but short-sighted. Why would anyone treat a valuable, high-performing employee this way?"
EEOC San Francisco District Director Michael Baldonado said "One of the core tenets of this country is religious freedom. Workers have the right to work in an environment free from hostility, intimidation and ridicule of their religious beliefs."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

I must say that when I used think of Bing Crosby, White Christmas or Holiday Inn would be the first things that came to mind. For others it might be Bob Hope teamed with Bing for the "Road" movies. However, when I started collecting corkscrews some years ago, I learned about a desirable dachsund associated with the famed crooner; a collectible corkscrew known as the "crosby pup."
Now, the tale goes that Bing had this wonderful wiener dog created to give his friends. And, over time these "gifts" have surfaced in estate sales, antique shops, and on eBay. Fortunately, one has also found its way to my house...
I would love to find out if the Bing story is true. Did he really have these created? Or, was this a premium by some company back in the day? Eitherway, it is a fantastic corkscrew, and I would love to have another, as the first is a little lonely...
And, if you would simply like to learn more about this twisted obsession, check out my website at www.vintagecorkscrews.com

Hospitals Give Health Law Real-World Test
Accountable-Care Organizations Are Among the Health Act's Main Cost-Cutting Efforts
NEW YORK—Dale Johnson is Exhibit A for people who believe that the new federal health-care law has embedded in it the secret to better care for less money.
Suffering from congestive heart failure, coronary-artery disease and diabetes, the 58-year-old former teacher was hospitalized five times last year at Mount Sinai Medical Center here and visited its emergency room 12 times. Cost to Medicare: $43,849.

PANAJI, India (AP) — A prominent Indian magazine editor accused of sexually assaulting a female colleague in a hotel elevator said Tuesday he is innocent and will be vindicated by security cameras.
Tarun Tejpal, editor of the weekly investigative magazine Tehelka, suggested the case had been orchestrated by his enemies. Police filed a 2,846-page charge sheet on Monday also accusing him of rape and wrongfully restraining the woman under new Indian laws which broaden the definition of rape to include some other forms of sexual assault.
"The charge sheet against me is out of political vendetta. I have done nothing wrong," Tejpal told reporters outside a court house in the southern state of Goa after his bail hearing was postponed to March 4.
"The entire truth is in the CCTV footage, and it will be known to the world," the Press Trust of India news agency quoted him as saying.
The case has stunned many in India, in part because the 50-year-old editor led the magazine's push to confront corruption and sexual violence in Indian society.
The woman, who has not been identified by name in India, accused Tejpal of assaulting her twice in a hotel elevator, on Nov. 7 and 8, when the magazine was hosting its annual conference of Indian leaders, newsmakers and celebrities.
In a resignation letter last year, she said she had endured "intimidation, character assassination and slander" since raising her allegations.
After the accusations became public, Tejpal initially apologized for "a bad lapse of judgment, an awful misreading of the situation" and said he was stepping down for six months. Later, he described the sexual encounter as consensual and fleeting.
Tejpal has been held in a Goa jail since his Nov. 30 arrest. If convicted, he could face up to seven years in prison.
Police said Tejpal tried for weeks to evade arrest, with officers searching for him in Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi and Hyderabad.
Tehelka, which means upheaval or sensation in Hindi, is closely followed by Indian journalists and the English-speaking elite. Using sting operations and exposes, the magazine has taken aim at high-level corruption.

Michael Coren interviews Ayaan Hirsi Ali:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali Responds to Questions at Ohio University:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an outspoken defender of women's rights in Islamic societies, was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. She escaped an arranged marriage by immigrating to the Netherlands in 1992 and served as a member of the Dutch parliament from 2003 to 2006. In parliament, she worked on furthering the integration of non-Western immigrants into Dutch society and defending the rights of women in Dutch Muslim society. In 2004, together with director Theo van Gogh, she made Submission, a film about the oppression of women in conservative Islamic cultures. The airing of the film on Dutch television resulted in the assassination of Mr. van Gogh by an Islamic extremist. At AEI, Ms. Hirsi Ali researches the relationship between the West and Islam, women's rights in Islam, violence against women propagated by religious and cultural arguments, and Islam in Europe.

Direct placements
|This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition.
Direct placements are made in securities are not listed on any stock exchange. Non-listed securities are purchased from the issuer of the securities, or in the secondary market. The nature of a trading market in unlisted securities cannot be predicted. However, such securities sometimes carry higher yields, or greater protection, than would be typically available for publicly offered securities of the same type. On the other hand, non-publicly traded securities are sometimes subject to restrictions on resale and the market for their resale is less liquid than for publicly traded securities. There is no active market in non-listed securities.
In the Investors view, because closed-end company's can trade in unlisted securities, investors should not place much credence in the reported net-asset value NAV of funds. Instead focus on the capital appreciation compared to cash, that most funds claim to seek in there prospectus.

As the cloud computing market continues to evolve, the focus is shifting from software as a service to infrastructure as a service (IaaS), offering more options and opportunities for government agencies to manage their own solutions and services, according to a leading industry expert on cloud technology.
IaaS is a provision model in which an organization has on-demand access to computing resources including storage, hardware, servers and networking components.
Meanwhile, organizations are still learning how to extend platform as a service – a delivery model for software development – to custom application development, said Kevin Jackson, vice president and general manager of cloud services for NJVC, a provider of information services to civilian and defense agencies.
Earlier this year, Jackson offered a forecast of the 10 most transformational impacts cloud would have in 2013. He recently performed a mid-year review of those predictions, updating how cloud computing will continue to evolve throughout the rest of the year and into 2014.
1. Cloud technologies will converge.
An increased focus on infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is accompanied by a heightened awareness about critical build, buy or rent decisions regarding IT infrastructure sourcing. For government agencies, this will lead to more options and opportunities, and will drive the need for additional analysis and a deeper understanding of how cloud computing technologies can be used to improve mission performance.
2. Custom software will hit the cloud.
While PaaS technology continues to rapidly mature, the marketplace is still learning how to extend the PaaS concept into custom application development. The evolution of optimal DevOps business models and operating models may push widespread adoption into next year. This trend will drive the adoption of PaaS by federal system integrators. Vendors that use PaaS to deliver custom software products will enjoy a significant cost advantage in the low price, technically acceptable government procurement environment.
3. Integration will become the new "killer app."
The cloud services brokerage is becoming a key component for managing hybrid enterprise IT environments. And a new entrant in the marketplace, the cloud access security broker, is emerging as a vital and complementary brokerage service. As cloud service standardization becomes more prevalent, federal system integrators will quickly morph into government service integrators that are able to deliver fully integrated, secure cloud-based service solutions on demand.
4. India and outsourcing countries will drive industry adoption of PaaS worldwide.
Major outsourcing countries are exploring how PaaS can be used to reduce development costs and increase margins, which is crucial to their ability to be the preferred providers of skilled labor. Security concerns and the need to preserve domestic jobs could drive a retrenchment of the worldwide offshoring business. However, the economic savings enabled by offshoring also will spur an intense review of software acquisition policies. Maintaining onshore development and enforcing citizenship requirements for software developers may no longer be financially viable for many agencies.
5. Major data centers will undergo a "survival-of-the-fittest" scenario.
Data center consolidation continues unabated. Mega-sized data centers will be augmented by smaller, regional centers. These regional centers will mainly provide caching and local storage services. Government agencies will feel ever-increasing pressure to divest themselves of government-owned data centers.
6. Health IT will adopt PaaS to replace niche "dinosaur" apps.
With Obamacare scheduled to take full effect in 2014, next year will be a major transition year for health-related technologies. Secure cloud services integration and robust protection of digital health information are both must-dos to enable health information exchanges. CIOs will look to real-world case studies for guidance for the remainder of 2013.
7. Organizations will rapidly adopt cloud services brokerages.
Cloud services brokerage and cloud access security brokers are emerging as vital and complementary services. IT departments currently are struggling to learn these skills internally or partnering externally for these services. Management tools for this multi-sourcing environment are essential. To best deal with the new paradigm of hybrid IT, government security policies also will need to be reviewed and updated to manage the transition from infrastructure-centric to data-centric security postures.
8. The U.S. government will re-think major IT contracts.
Federal agencies are moving away from large omnibus contracts toward shorter-term, performance-based vehicles, according to the latest research from Gartner. This move is expected to reduce the strength of incumbent federal system integrators and spur them to transform their business models and solution offerings. Limited funding and sequestration are contributing to this trend.
9. Innovation and entrepreneurship will hit overdrive.
Cloud computing is revolutionizing virtually every business model. Drastic reductions in the cost of IT will help the government effectively deal with ever-increasing fiscal pressures. It also will give the government the ability to deliver more valuable services to constituents.
10. Cloud adoption will move from an option to a "must have."
Cloud computing is a rapidly expanding, multibillion-dollar business. Amazon's ability to challenge IBM for a $600-million federal cloud project signals this new era. Smaller and more nimble cloud-based services providers will spur competition and enable agency transformation.

This Top Ten List missed a most important ingredient. Cloud Providers must offer Service Level Agreements (SLA) assuring the safeguarding of proprietary data and information including multi-tenancy operations. Without such financially backed assurances, Cloud adoption cannot flourish.
Prediction are good. Cloud technology approach at it peaks definitely.
I have been skeptical of the Cloud buzz since it started .. Most major companies in the world have some sort of ERP Systems whether SAP or Oracle etc which are usually sitting infrastructure in a datacentre somewhere either owned by the company or in managed service via third part service providers like HP and IBM for example. Which is same as the 'Cloud' . It would cost to much even if the prosperous days to change fro these companies. However I do feel there is a huge market for Cloud for the small to medium size enterprises, with not so complex IT systems, to provide them with a packaged solution that would sit on the Cloud .. eh a simple stock, checkout and payroll system for a small hardware chain with maybe 4 stores etc etc

The Broch of Gurness is a rare example of a well preserved iron age Broch village. Dating from 500 to 200BC the central round tower probably reached 10 meters (30ft). This was surrounded by thatched roofed houses. The settlement was surrounded by walls and two deep ditches. Gurness was probably the most important settlement on Orkney 2000 years ago.

I got this emailed to me by a friend. It was read by Bryant Gumbel on TV. I don't know if I believe in it, but it freaks me out anyway.
According to Nostradamus, the first two anti-Christs were extremely evil, and history has shown this to be so; however, Nostradamus speaks of a third anti-Christ who is more hideous than all the others combined. Some say Sadaam Hussein, the dictator from Iraq, could be this evil tyrant. Others say that he has not yet appeared. What does Nostradamus say about this third anti-Christ? First, Nostradamus tells us he will come from the Middle East.
Out of the country of Greater Arabia
Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed...
He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.
He will be the terror of mankind.
Never more horror.
Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces on an invasion through Europe. This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together (Guentte). When will all this take place? In one quatrain Nostradamus gives us an exact date in which the war will be well under way.
In the year 1999 and seven months
From the sky will come the great King of Terror.
He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols;
Before and after war reigns.
Nostradamus predicts the war will begin shortly before the year 1999 (Roberts 191). He also tells us how long the war will last.
The war will last seven and twenty years. (Guentte)
Nostradamus says that the war will be so terrible that the world will come face to face with final annihilation. Here, he implies that the war might involve some kind of horrible weapon, possibly nuclear. Nostradamus tells what the first target will be.
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city.
In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude. Experts agree this could only be New York.
By fire he will destroy their city,
A cold and cruel heart,
Blood will pour,
Mercy to none. (Guentte)
Although Nostradamus 's predictions for our future sound frightening he does give us some hope by telling us how this third world war will end. He says it will end as a result of an unexpected alliance.
When those of the Northern Pole are united,
In the East will be great fear and dread...
One day the two great leaders will be friends;
Their great powers will be seen to grow.
The New Land will be at the height of its power:
To the man of blood the number is reported.
The new land was a common term used by Nostradamus to refer to what we now call America. The countries of the northern pole could be Russia and the United States. We have recently seen the breakdown of Communism in Russia and an increasing friendship between Russia and the U.S. (Reader's Digest 515).

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (AP) The Daytona 500 has been halted by a fiery explosion caused when Juan Pablo Montoya slammed into a jet drier under caution.
Montoya was driving well behind the rest of the field when something on his car broke and he started sliding out of control toward the jet drier, which holds 200 gallons of jet kerosene.
Montoya's No. 42 Chevrolet hammered the truck, setting off an explosion and sending fuel pouring onto the famed track.
Montoya got out unharmed. The driver of the jet drier had to be helped out of his truck.
Dave Blaney was leading at the time of the wreck, followed by Landon Cassill, Tony Raines and David Gilliland.

Corn (CBOT:CU13) fell for a fourth day to a 33-month low as rain and cool weather in the U.S. boost optimism the world's the biggest grower will produce a record crop. Soybeans fell to the lowest level in more than two weeks.
An expected lack of heat across the U.S. Midwest in the next two months will avoid "significant stress" for corn and soybeans, MDA Weather Services wrote in a forecast today. Scattered thunderstorms are forecast in the Midwest and no hot weather is expected during the next 10 days, favoring corn and soybeans, DTN said in a report yesterday.
"Recent improvements in the U.S. weather outlook have alleviated some risk around the new crop-supply outlook," Rabobank International wrote in a report today. "We maintain a bearish view on most agri commodity prices this month."
Corn for December (CBOT:CZ13) delivery fell 0.8% to $4.765 a bushel, the lowest since Oct. 5, 2010. The grain has tumbled 32% this year as U.S. farmers are set to harvest a record 13.95 billion bushels, 29% more than 2012 when the worst drought since the 1930s hurt yields, based on USDA estimates.
"Favorable weather conditions for the U.S. corn belt continue to drive the market, with corn still lingering at a long-term low," U.K. grain merchant Gleadell Agriculture Ltd. wrote in an online comment.
Soybeans (CBOT:SX13) for November delivery fell 1.6% to $12.3675 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade by 7:41 a.m., and earlier today touched $12.315, the lowest for a most-active contract since July 8. Futures trading volume was more than double the average in the past 100 days for the time of day, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Soybeans have slumped 12% this year as the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts domestic output will rise to a record 3.42 billion bushels, boosting world stocks 20% from a year earlier to 74.1 million tons, an all-time high.
World wheat production may be a record 697.8 million tons on a rebound in output in Russia and the European Union, the USDA predicts.
Wheat for September delivery slipped 0.3% to $6.515 a bushel in Chicago, while milling wheat for November delivery traded on NYSE Liffe in Paris fell 0.5% to 189.25 euros ($250.32) a ton, the lowest intraday price for a most-active contract since February 2012.

Bank of America's fourth-quarter profit plunged 63% as the banking giant was weighed down by billions in charges related to a dispute with Fannie Mae and a foreclosure settlement. Revenue also fell, though some of the drop was attributable to accounting issues arising from the way the settlements were booked and changes in the value of the bank's debt.
Revenue dropped 25% to $18.66 billion as noninterest income fell 41%. Excluding $700 million of debit valuation and fair value option adjustments, and $3 billion for the cost of the Fannie Mae settlement, revenue was $22.6 billion. Overall, Bank of America reported a profit of $732 million versus a profit of $1.99 billion a year earlier.
On a per-share basis, which includes the payment of preferred dividends, the bank reported earnings of three cents versus 15 cents a year earlier. Analysts expected per-share earnings of two cents on revenue of $21.03 billion.
In settlements announced last week, Bank of America agreed to pay $11.6 billion to Fannie Mae tied to so-called putbacks, the loans that Fannie demands lenders buy back as a result of questionable underwriting and other missteps. The agreement covers nearly a decade of home loans and is the bank's latest response to the hangover from its 2008 acquisition of Countrywide Financial, which was the largest U.S. lender to customers with spotty credit histories. The bank took a $2.7-billion pre-tax charge in the fourth quarter related to the deal.

With free agency set to start at 4 p.m. Tuesday, now seems like a good time to pick apart what's going on around the league and offer some thoughts on the Eagles' potential plans.
Let's start with the Birds' biggest offseason priority: Linebacker.
Two of the most talked-about inside linebackers expected to hit the market are Atlanta's Curtis Lofton and Detroit's Stephen Tulloch. The Falcons made a move over the weekend, signing veteran linebacker Lofa Tatupu. The buzz in Atlanta is that he'll compete for the starting job with second-year player Akeem Dent, and the Falcons will let Lofton walk.
Lofton is 25, finished fifth in the league with 147 tackles last season and was a team captain. So why would the Falcons let him go? According to Len Pasquarelli of CBSSports.com, some within the organization believe he's "deficient" in coverage. I still need to take a look at some of Lofton's games from last year, but if the Eagles aren't 100 percent sold on him being a three-down player, I can't see them going after Lofton.
As for Tulloch, he remains un-signed, but the Lions recently restructured several contracts (Ndamukong Suh, Matthew Stafford and Nate Burleson) to open up some cap space, according to Fox Sports Detroit. My question, as it relates to the Eagles, is this: If they view Tulloch as a valuable player, why didn't they sign him last offseason when he inked a one-year, $3.25M deal with Detroit?
Surely, the Eagles could have afforded to bring him in for a season. Did they really think Casey Matthews would be a better option? And if they didn't have a high opinion of Tulloch before 2011, have their views really changed that much after his performance in one season with the Lions? Maybe they have. But Tulloch is only 27. He clearly agreed to a one-year deal last offseason with the idea of cashing in this time around. We'll see if that happens with the Eagles.
Other linebackers who have been mentioned are Carolina's Dan Connor and Seattle's David Hawthorne. Connor has never been a three-down player and served a situational role for the Panthers last year. According to Pro Football Focus, he played only about 49 percent of Carolina's snaps. The majority of Connor's playing time (68 percent) came against the run. If the Eagles were to bring him aboard, it would likely be in a situational role.
Ideally, the Eagles would add a three-down linebacker. But based on the end of last season, they believe Matthews (and perhaps Keenan Clayton as well) can be effective players in coverage. It seems possible that they could settle on a linebacker who is good against the run and once again go with a linebacker-by-committee approach.
Hawthorne, meanwhile, was a three-down player with the Seahawks, having played 94.4 percent of the team's defensive snaps last season, per PFF. According to Michael C. Wright of ESPN Chicago, the Bears have interest in Hawthorne, who turns 27 in May.
As for the Eagles' own free agents, it'll be interesting to see what the interest is for Evan Mathis if he reaches the open market. Remember, Mathis started just 22 games in six NFL seasons before joining the Eagles in 2011. He's talked about being frustrated with a lack of playing time in previous stops and excelled here under Howard Mudd. I'm sure Mathis wants to get paid, but he'll turn 31 in November, and staying with the Eagles means a guaranteed starting spot in a system he's comfortable in. For those reasons, I'd be somewhat surprised if he's not back in 2012, although we'll have to see how the market plays out.
The beat writers have indicated that the Eagles are unlikely to make a big splash in free agency. But if they do make a significant move other than linebacker, my guess is it'll be along the defensive line. As we've discussed in the past, Jim Washburn uses eight defensive linemen in his rotation. The Eagles look like they have four defensive ends in place with Jason Babin, Trent Cole, Darryl Tapp and Brandon Graham. But if they think they can upgrade from Tapp, would they consider it? Or maybe they move Graham inside?
At defensive tackle, Mike Patterson and Cullen Jenkins will be back as the starters. And the Eagles have to make decisions on Antonio Dixon (restricted), Derek Landri (unrestricted) and Trevor Laws (unrestricted). It's conceivable that they choose against re-signing their own guys here and add a player to rotate in with Patterson and Jenkins.
I wouldn't expect the Eagles to add a starting-caliber safety. Maybe the final four games were fool's gold, but Nate Allen's performance might be the most encouraging thing to take from the end of last season. Signing a safety would indicate major questions about last year's second-round pick, Jaiquawn Jarrett. More likely, I'd expect the team to sell the notion that Jarrett just needs a full offseason and emphasize that they still envision him being a contributor going forward.
Having said that, Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports reports that the Eagles "appear interested" in LaRon Landry. Landry has missed 15 games over the past two seasons and suffered an Achilles' injury in 2011. I'm not sure it makes sense to take a risk on the hard-hitting safety at this point.
As for DeSean Jackson, it's going to be very interesting to see how the wide receiver market plays out. I wrote a piece for SI.com about some of the top names expected to be available. Reports have linked the Bears, Bucs and Redskins to Vincent Jackson. He is the only true No. 1 wide receiver on the market, and I'd expect him to get a monster deal. The rest of the receivers have questions, but if teams spend big on unproven commodities like Pierre Garcon and Robert Meachem, DeSean's camp will be less likely to bring its asking price down.
And finally, this note from SI.com's Peter King caught my eye, in regards to Robert Griffin III:
Washington was joined in the pursuit for the pick by Cleveland (who owns the fourth overall pick in the draft) and Miami (picking eighth overall) -- and two teams beyond the 10th overall pick. Those two teams couldn't be identified late Friday night, but with the fervent interest Philadelphia showed in both Andrew Luck and Griffin, the two top quarterbacks in this draft, it wouldn't be surprising if Philadelphia wanted to move up to take either a quarterback or another top prospect.
That would have made this past weekend pretty interesting, huh?

The PlayStation 3 has now narrowly outsold the Xbox 360, with total global sales of 77 million to 76 million at the end of 2012, according to industry statistics.
According to a report released by the International Data Corporation,
"In December 2012, PS3 system shipments eclipsed the number of Xbox 360's shipped worldwide, despite the PS3 launching a year later than the Xbox 360 (an estimated 77 million bundles versus approximately 76 million bundles shipped)"
The report also expressed scepticism about the prospects of a new generation of "smart" devices disrupting the console market any time soon:
"At the same time, it doesn't appear that alternative platforms — set-top boxes from cable companies, Web-connected smart TVs, and so on — are positioned to materially disrupt the trajectory of the 'big 3' console OEMs in 2013 or 2014.
Discs will remain the console game revenue mainstay for years to come."
Unsurprisingly, the imminent replacement of the essentially obsolete PS3 and Xbox 360 with new models is projected to lead to big increases in sales:
"2011 and 2012 were tough for many console game disc developers and publishers.
With the advent of eighth-generation consoles, starting with the Wii U, historical norms strongly imply that game disc revenue will stop bleeding in 2013 and rise substantively in 2014."
With the Wii U already out, the future of the next generation of gaming hardware will apparently come down to a third showdown between Microsoft and Sony.

debt-for-development swaps, where payment is made in local currency at the free market rate, serve a useful purpose by providing banking institutions with constructive opportunities for the reduction of the external debt of highly indebted developing countries in a process that involves the participation of private, nonprofit groups in providing a stimulus to the economic and social development of such developing countries;
debt-for-development swaps provide highly indebted developing countries with a creative method of reducing external debt burdens, while promoting their economic growth and restructuring objectives;
banking institutions should give careful consideration to engaging in such swaps as one means of strengthening overall loan portfolios through the reduction of high external debt burdens while expanding economic opportunities through private sector initiatives; and
in order to avoid any bias against such swaps in the regulatory framework applicable to the financial reporting of banking institutions, where payment is made in local currency at the free market rate, appropriate recognition of the fair market exchange value of the currency so received should be made.
"(b)Notification Relating to Local Currency Repayment Through Debt-for-Development Swaps.—
Before the end of the 6-month period beginning on the date of the enactment of this section [Dec. 19, 1989], each appropriate Federal banking agency shall adopt uniform guidelines that will effectuate the policy set forth in subsection (a) concerning the regulatory framework and accounting treatment of debt-for-development swaps involving repayment in local currency at the free market rate. For the purpose of such guidelines, the impact of such swaps on reported loan loss reserves shall be determined by valuing currency received in such swaps at fair market exchange value.
"(c)Definitions.—As used in this section:
"(1)Appropriate federal banking agency.—
The term 'appropriate Federal banking agency' has the meaning given such term in section 903(1) of the International Lending Supervision Act of 1983 [12 U.S.C. 3902(1)].
"(2)Banking institution.—
The term 'banking institution' has the meaning given such term in section 903(2) of the International Lending Supervision Act of 1983.
"(3)Debt-for-development swap.—
The term 'debt-for-development swap' has the meaning given such term in section 1608(b)(2) of the International Financial Institutions Act [22 U.S.C. 262p–4c(b)(2)].
"(4)Highly indebted country.—
The term 'highly indebted country' means any country designated as a 'Highly Indebted Country' in the annual World Debt Tables most recently published by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development before the date of the enactment of this section [Dec. 19, 1989]."

The comment period ended earlier this month for those responding to the Ohio EPA's preferred clean-up plan for contamination from the former Fayette Tubular Products site.
The Ohio EPA will provide written responses at some time in the future before moving on to the next step.
Among the comments and questions sent to the agency were several from the Village of Fayette office and from the Fayette Area Chamber of Commerce.
CATCH BASINS—A primary concern from the village related to extremely high levels of contaminants found in catch basins on the former Fayette Tubular Products property and also along a village street just west of the industrial site.
In addition, village workers recently observed ground water contaminated with a substance while they were repairing a sewer line at Railroad and Gamber streets.
With documented and observed contamination, the Village asks how the EPA's preferred plan addresses contamination adjacent to and within the village sewer system. Also, what measures are proposed to guard the health and welfare of village workers?
In addition, the agency is asked what evaluations were made during the investigative phase of the cleanup to eliminate the sewer system as a pathway for contaminants.
PROPERTY TO THE WEST—Another off-site concern focuses on contamination that was discovered in shallow ground water west of the factory.
The source of the contaminant was never identified and cleanup of this area is not included in the preferred plan.
The Village is seeking information on the Ohio EPA's studies to determine the source. The Village also asked if the agency has tried to determine if there is any relationship between the sewer system—both on and off the factory site—and the contamination to the west.
In addition, questions were asked about the lack of standard contamination levels applied to the pollutants to the west, how the contamination is being monitored to ensure the safety of residents, and what type of restrictions, if any, will be put in place for use of the property.
WELL FIELD—The village expressed concern about monitoring vinyl chloride concentrations in the village's old well field that is no longer in use. A question was also asked about the possibility of shallow ground water contamination reaching the former well field.
The source of that contamination was never discovered and recent data shows that it is still present.
ASSUMING—In the agency's preferred plan, the phrase "it is assumed" is used occasionally in describing clean-up methods. The Village asks, "How confident is the Ohio EPA that the selected remedial alternative will be effective at reducing contamination to acceptable levels?"
ATTENUATION—The preferred plan lists "natural attenuation" as a clean-up method—allowing the contaminants to break down naturally over time.
In one alternative, 300 years is listed as the period of attenuation needed for shallow ground water to reach acceptable levels. However, the alternative chosen by the agency—the preferred plan—doesn't mention an anticipated timeframe.
Additional questions address the possibility of contaminants moving underneath the existing trench that collects contaminated ground water, and concerns about continued monitoring of the plume of contamination as it continues to slowly move beyond the former school site.
CHAMBER—Questions submitted by the Chamber of Commerce include concerns about the property used by the Village for the park and the water treatment plant, as well as property downgradient from the plume but outside the village. The agency is asked if "institutional controls" governing use of the land are anticipated as the plume of contamination continues to move.

Alex graduated from preschool this morning and his class hosted a super-cute ceremony and celebration. I kept waiting to be overcome with those my-baby-is-so-grown-up emotions. Here's what I felt instead:
OMG, this is so adorable, I think I'm going to cry.
Here come the tears—why is this so emotional?
We're over here, Al…can you see us, bud?!
Oh, wait, Alex is misbehaving, not gonna cry, want to crawl in a hole instead.
If only I could get his attention, I could give him the death stare and get him to stop poking that girl.
OMG, I am so embarrassed. I wonder what these other parents think of me.
Ugh, Nora is so heavy, why can't Nick hold her?
This shirt is really ugly and looks maternity-ish, I wonder if people think I'm pregnant.
Gheesh, how much egg is still on Nora's face?
Wait, Nick was supposed to tuck in Alex's shirt. Oh well.
That little girl with the red hair is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Ugh, I can't believe kindergarten is only a half day—so lame.
Did I remember to put deodorant on? This place is freaking hot….
High school graduating class of 2025?! Holy $*@!&!
If Alex ever does drugs, I'll kill him.
Maybe he acts so silly because he's the youngest?
Really wish I hadn't had that second glass of wine last night.
I love Randy Newman. Now I'm going to cry.
How many photos are in this damn slide show?
OMG, was he this bad all year? Maybe I should have gotten better gifts for his teachers.
I was really thinking I was going to write about all these heartfelt emotions I had about Alex's big day but the ants in his pants got in the way. Instead of wiping away tears, I was wiping away sweat, just praying to get through the ceremony without him saying anything inappropriate or interrupting the teachers or waving his flag in anyone else's face. I'm hoping the day gets a little more sentimental and sweet, but we'll see. Have your kids graduated? How did the day make you feel? TGIF is all I can say!

I think it would have made more sense to use random, non-Hondo affiliated pirates. Dude killing little kids is a little f-ing dark. That seems way over the line from what we've seen them establish for him character-wise to this point. Profit or not, that's beyond the pale.
I think this wrinkle in Hondo's character is hard or a lot of us to swallow because we want him to be the lovable scoundrel that Han Solo was for us in the OT. (because sometimes he as been)Turns out most bad guys don't have a heart of gold.

A sprinkling of details — including a broad opening date — about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was revealed by Universal Orlando on Tuesday.
"Universal has given me the great honor in revealing to the world that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be opening its gates, spring 2010," said actor Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the Potter films and was in Orlando for the announcement.
Tuesday's peek provided a few new tidbits and renderings of the new area within the Islands of Adventure theme park. It confirmed some previous reports about the expansion that's expected to cost more than $200 million but left much of Universal's planned magic still in the dark. Notably absent: details about Wizarding World's only new major ride so far, called Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
Released today were two videos and a set of renderings for the planned park. View the renderings in our photo gallery.
"This is really just the tip of the iceberg," Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative, said of the announcement about the 20-acre area that will re-create scenery from the J.K. Rowling books and subsequent films about a boy wizard.
What's new•The "spring" opening date is the most specific the resort has been. That's later than its original goal of December 2009 but earlier than a June 30, 2010, deadline stipulated in its licensing contract with Warner Bros.
"In terms of just raw construction, given where they appear to be, they certainly should be able to make the spring date," said Robert Niles, editor of ThemeParkInsider.com. "The real challenge is if they're going to be able to have the ride programming in place in time."
•Some merchandise will be exclusive to Islands of Adventure. "We're going to bring to life all the great food and candy and gadgets and what-not that are in the books and films," said Paul Daurio, show producer of Wizarding World. "But more importantly we're going to have an entire line of product that's been developed specifically for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that can only be found here from the books and the film."
•Guests will be able to purchase wands at Ollivanders wand shop via interactive (and undisclosed) methods. In Potter movies, wands select their owners. "We've developed a way to make that experience real," Woodbury said.
•The Owl Post will send out letters with a postmark from Hogsmeade, Rowling's village that will be made three-dimensional at Wizarding World.
What's confirmed•Maps of the area indicate that two existing coasters at Islands will be refashioned for Wizarding World theming. Dueling Dragons becomes Dragon Challenge (now with Chinese Fireball and Hungarian Horntail trains). Flying Unicorn, a family coaster, morphs into Flight of the Hippogriff.
•A slew of stores from the Potter stories — including Zonko's, Honeydukes and Three Broomsticks — will be included in Hogsmeade. Butterbeer, a staple of the stories, will be available there.
"Many of us have tasted it," Woodbury said. "We developed a special recipe. We collaborated with Warner Bros. One of the meetings we've had with J.K. Rowling, we tasted and sampled some of the food items that we will have in Three Broomsticks, including butterbeer."
Nonalcoholic, he said.
What's in the air•One area that wasn't talked about at all: the Forbidden Forest, an ominous setting from the books that is home to creatures such as centaurs, unicorns and spiderlike "acromantulas" that Universal initially said guests would be able to visit. It's not included in a new map of the Wizarding World released Tuesday, and the resort has removed mention of the location from its press materials.
Universal spokesman Tom Schroder said the Forbidden Forest is still part of its plans. "We have not announced its location yet," he said.
•Details were thin on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, the new ride within Hogwarts Castle. But officials were gushing.
"This is something totally new, totally different, and an experience unlike anything anyone's ever done, including ourselves," Woodbury said. "I would call it a full-immersion, visceral, compelling experience."
Although show producer Daurio said "it couldn't be further from a roller coaster," he did share a few visual details.
"As you enter Hogwarts Castle, you find those iconic rooms such as the Gryffindor Common Room, which everybody for years has wanted to have the opportunity to travel inside Hogwarts and see what it was like to be in those hallowed halls," he said. "Then you are swept up into a journey that really captures the greatest stories, the greatest characters, and the greatest experiences from the books and films."
No height restriction was announced for Forbidden Journey. Without one, it's more likely to be a milder ride.
"If there is a height restriction, then you know they're going to be bumping around a little bit more," Niles said.

I like the aesthetic, I've always had problems with plain photos since something is missing - the way you can move and sense the space when just walking around, the way it surrounds you... This seems to bring some of that to photography. Windows only, unfortunately. Back to top noticmemberMember #Joined: 09 Apr 2001Posts: 441Location: Sweden Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:25 am i made one of my kitchen it's pretty neat! very easy to do http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=E3265557-E4D4-4643-8D3B-93553EE97546 Back to top noticmemberMember #Joined: 09 Apr 2001Posts: 441Location: Sweden Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:56 am this is what it looks like outside.. http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=2BBB0A64-D8C1-4125-9D83-070480649726 Back to top JimmyjimjimmemberMember #Joined: 12 Dec 2002Posts: 459 Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 2:03 am IIInnteresting............. Doesn't work quite how I thought it would, and it feels a little more like QuicktimeVR than I thought, but definitely cool. I think it would be best when utilizing a HUGE matrix of photos... .like Flickr I somehow thought it would use the photo data to extrapolate the space in three dimensions, which isn't what it really looks like it's doing. Kind of assigning locations in space to photos and not necessarily extrapolating new data. Either way, very cool, thanks for posting the link! -E- Back to top AffectedmemberMember #Joined: 22 Oct 1999Posts: 1854Location: Helsinki, Finland Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2008 2:31 am It does actually create point clouds from the photos when enough different angles are given - press control to see just the points in a synth. Also I saw a related video from the phototourism guys who also make photosynth, where they were using 3d proxy geometry to project photos onto, but the 3d models were not extrapolated from the images. I think it should be possible to use the point clouds as depth maps of sorts to warp the images, kind of like that compositing video I posted here a while back. Then again, it's such an obvious thing they're probably either working on it or decided they can't get accurate enough info from the photos. The point clouds look remarkably accurate to me, though, for what they are.

Dick Polman of the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain has a column on Andy Card's resignation that I assume has run in a number of papers. The column's theme is that the replacement of Card by Josh Bolten isn't much of a change and won't satisfy those who have been calling on President Bush to clean house. Polman contrasts Ronald Reagan's 1987 staff shakeup with Card's replacement:
Reagan's shake-up is prominent in the history books; the more minimal Bush response won't resonate nearly as much. After John Hinderaker, a lawyer and conservative blogger, heard the news, he headed his online remarks with one word: "Yawn." And he wrote: "I doubt that the change will make any difference, except maybe cosmetically."
I'm flattered to be accorded this prominence, but I do want to distinguish my reaction from that of Fred Barnes and others who are quoted later. Unlike Barnes and some other pundits (both friendly and unfriendly to the administration), I don't think there is any particular need for a staff shakeup. I think that while Barnes' call for resignations by such stalwarts as Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney is well-intended, as a practical matter, such a course would be disastrous. Major changes in Executive Branch staffing at this point would only reinforce the claims made by the administration's critics.
President Bush thinks we are on the right course in Iraq and elsewhere; so do I. That being the case, the last thing he should do is fire effective leaders like Rumsfeld in what would surely be a futile effort to satisfy his critics or create an illusion of "change."
One more point: Polman and many others assume that Bush dismissed Card and replaced him with Bolten. That may well be true, but I'm not aware of any evidence to that effect. One persistent report is that Card resigned in order to join Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign. Again, I have no idea whether that's true or not; my point is that it's unwarranted to assume that every time a significant Executive Branch official resigns, he's been fired.

John Catucci may be a comedian, but he's also the kind of guy who will "talk about food while eating other food" — a sure sign of a man who takes what's on his plate seriously. But not so seriously that he won't poke fun at "food porn," or eat a bastardized version of tiramisu made with beer (yes, that makes it "beeramisu").
Catucci is the host of You Gotta Eat Here!, a new Food Network program premiering Jan. 6 that's a sort of a cross between the decadence of Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and the national pride of Top Chef Canada. The show sees Catucci travelling across the country to sample some of our nation's tastiest comfort food — and if you're thinking that means hearty, healthy stews and chicken noodle soup, you're way off.
"One chef told me that people go out to eat because they don't have deep fryers at home, and that's ... well, if you deep-fry anything, it's delicious," Catucci says of some of the items he tasted while filming the show's first run, which included crab and lobster mac and cheese, a burger made with grilled cheese sandwiches instead of buns, and deep-fried poached eggs at Toronto restaurant Hadley's, which he tucked into shortly after completing this interview. (We tucked into them, too: They can be best described as food so wrong, it's right.)
"But you definitely hit a wall when you're eating so much food that's fried," Catucci says, noting that he now travels with a jump rope to avoid packing on the pounds while on the road.
"I did gain a little weight while filming. Not much, but a little. I learned that I had to stop feeling sorry for myself after those big meals and get up off the hotel bed."
Catucci and his crew spent two days at each restaurant they visited, spending the first in the kitchen filming with the chef, and the second in the dining room talking to regular patrons. It's this mix of behind-thescenes access and front-of-house schmoozing that Catucci says proves the show is a unique experiment in making food accessible to regular folk. That, and Catucci himself is a comedian, not a chef.
"I think that's what we liked about the show, and what we wanted, was that I was a fish out of water" he says. "We wanted me to go in and say, 'What is that?' 'Why are you doing that?' 'Why is it at that temperature?' — just all the questions regular people want to ask."
Of course, being a regular guy means a lot of stuff hits the cutting room floor. "They love it when I screw up," Catucci says, adding that his background in improv gives the show a dose of added spice — or, at the very least, a pinch.
"There's just so much s—t coming out of my mouth," Catucci says. "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I trust other people to make that decision."
You Gotta Eat Here! airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network.

Heather124 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 215 designs submitted by 68 freelance designers.
Crested Butte & Beyond
I am Realtor in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I specialize in selling real estate in Crested Butte, Mt. Crested Butte, Gunnison and Almont Colorado.I would like a fresh approach and something clever for the logo.I work mainly the second home and resort real estate markets.
My target audience is resort and second home owners and sometimes first time homebuyers. Mt. Crested Butte is a ski town high up in the Rocky Mountains. Crested Butte (3 miles away) is a quaint historic town with tons of charm. People that visit this area love it for its wide open spaces and sense of community. Gunnison is a bedroom community of Crested Butte. Almont is known for its pristine river, the Taylor River, and for its first class fishing.
I want a logo that targets all my audiences. I want out of the box thinking and concepts. I am open to all colors and themes. I want to be able to convey professionalism with a clever, creative and savvy marketing logo. I would like to see an icon design not just a type face design. I have multiple websites as stated above. However, I want a logo to be interchangeable with all the sites and no limited to one area (ie. Crested Butte). You can incorporate all the cities or one particular theme for all.
Nothing too stiff or industrial. Catchy, cleaver, ARTSY.

I've always been fascinated by the small details of everyday life that are are often overlooked. Whenever I go out to explore with my camera, I train my eye to those intricacies of the ordinary and to capture it in a beautiful or interesting way, usually as an abstract interpretation. In this work, the sunlight reflecting and rippling across the water's surface was mesmerizing. After I took the picture I further noticed the texture and patterns made by shells underneath, a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes swirling together in a prismatic effect, a brief glance of time and earth in a single moment.
About the Artist Whitley Williams:
I'm Erin Whitley Williams, a photographer and artist based in sunny Florida on the Gulf's aquamarine shores.

Two weeks ago, we ran a feature story in The Leader-Union about two local men who traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of a program called Honor Flight.
In that program, veterans – particularly those who served in World War II – are treated to a free one-day trip to see our nation's capital and the war memorials there. Organizers want it to be a way to say thanks to those men for the sacrifices they made for their country.
