Andrea Mitchell, George Frideric Handel, Karen Handel, Komen, MSNBC, Nancy Brinker, Planned Parenthood, Susan G. Komen for the Cure
THIS IS AN UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST: Karen Handel resigned from the Susan G. Komen foundation yesterday citing her involvement in the controversial decision to drop Planned Parenthood from its grants programs. But someone at Komen is not telling the truth.
Although Handel says that it was her influence and decision-making ability to drop Planned Parenthood, Komen founder and CEO Nancy Brinker told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell that Handel had nothing to do with it.
Handel ran for Governor of Georgia on an extreme right, anti-Planned Parenthood platform. She failed in her attempt at governor but just months after joining Komen, the decision to drop Planned Parenthood was made, a decision for which she claims responsibility. Komen reversed its decision (see previous post) because of massive outcry.
Clearly, Komen is still scrambling to try and regain public confidence and to bring back long-time donors. But at this point, unless they begin telling the truth, it's not likely they will succeed.
Komen, as it appears now, has become more of a political organization rather than a foundation concerned with improving women's health. Unless and until Komen comes forward and reveals what was really going on – including who hired Handel? – the public will be wary about where their donations are really going.

When battles reach epic level, Super and Hyper creations become more common. This Epitek is the most advanced and sophisticated teknology available and may come in any form.
Super Tek
Super Teknologies are the second largest creations to show themselves on a battlefield. There is no direct classification for Super Tek, but usually they're just big vehicles with bigger guns. Examples of Super Tek include the Assyrian Armoured Core, the Immortal Blood-Wrath, the Thermion PA, and Scythian Behemoth. Only factions with access to an incredible amount of teknology can construct Super Tek of any kind. Such creations are not all massive in size but all require amazing feats of engineering.
Hyper Tek
Hyper Teknologies are the ultimate in stuff-breaking technology. Not only do they break the physical aspects of a battle field, but the use of Hyper Tek can even break the mighty and all powerful Rules. It does this by utilizing pure Awesome and unbridled Creativity. Some very advanced civilizations have begun testing teknologies which might be capable of producing the desired effect but few have actually completed one yet. A famous example of this is the Dark Star, capable a destroying entire planets with its luminous beam of all-encompassing power. It almost, but not quite, harnessed enough pure Awesome to be considered a Hyper Tek weapon. Hyper Tek skirts the boundaries of what it is currently possible to achieve with teknology. Its development pushes those boundaries, sometimes expanding them and causing MythiTek to become a reality.
The Progress of Teknology
Teknology is always advancing. Some BrikWars players might identify a particular piece of tek as belonging to a particular Tek Level. However, in the space of a few short years, conceptual understanding of teknology as a whole could change. Players might redefine old teknologies into lower Tek Levels, or even into whole new categories having nothing to do with TLs. Already, as of R. 2,013, some players are rejecting the TL school of thought entirely. For minifigs, the process is even more involved and complex. BrikVerse inhabitants may be confronted with any number of things, including the entire range of possible teknology, at any time and so are constantly, as individuals, forced to modify their understanding of teknology. Minifigs are highly adaptable creatures. A primitive minifig society is able to nearly instantaneously acclimate to suddenly becoming a starfaring civilization upon the arrival of a crashed starship, for instance.
Many players do not want to claim the vaunted Tek Level 7, for fear of being labeled munchkins, douchebags with superiority complexes, or otherwise generally pretentious. It's a little like calling Superman in a game of Cops and Robbers. However, the entire argument is becoming more of a moot point as teknology, and its associated philosophy, advances. TL 7 is, whatever disdain or fear may be associated with it, on the list of available teknologies, per that school of thought. It is not, therefore, relegated only to the realm of myth and untapped imagination. That is reserved for what would be referred to in that older teknologikal model as Tek Level 8 and above, though it does not necessarily need to fit within the TL schema and bear that designation. MythiTek is teknology that is not currently usable by minifigs and is, of course, a highly relative concept. Due to the minifig propensity for adaptation and versatility, MythiTek does not tend to remain mythic for very long. Some MythiTek, however, such as that described as being from the end of time in R. 3,955, is locked behind a veil of obscurity that may not part until a specific time or event occurs.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - While everybody loves Raymond, it's stand-up comedy that Ray Romano loves most.
The 55-year-old actor-comedian says performing live is his passion, so he jumped at the chance to participate in the "Garden of Laughs" event at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
"It's great to see some of the guys that I started doing stand-up with, like Brian Regan and Wanda (Sykes)," Romano said. "And Bob Costas is hosting."
Adam Ferrara and Darrell Hammond are also scheduled to perform in the comedy event, which will benefit the Garden of Dreams Foundation.
Romano, who starred in the long-running TV series "Everybody Loves Raymond" and the short-lived "Men of a Certain Age," says he feels more comfortable onstage.
"Yeah, I love to act and explore different characters, but I'm still learning and finding out if I'm good at all," Romano said of his work in front of the camera.
"When I do stand-up, I'm in my element. This is what I am a pro at doing."
Romano joked about the upcoming benefit: "I want to know when I'm going on. Because I don't want to go last."
He calls performing with old friends a "win-win situation."
"I'm a fan of all of them. I started with Brian. If I was going to pick one guy whom I have the most in common, it's him. Brian and I are friends. We both started around the same time," he said.
That experience dates back to their days at the Comedy Cellar in New York's Greenwich Village.
"I did 15 shows a week when I lived in New York. I did five shows on a Friday and seven shows on a Saturday. It was everything I did and it was my sole source of income," Romano said.
Then came "Everybody Loves Raymond," in which Romano played a sportswriter and family man. The sitcom wrapped up in 2005 after nine seasons and is now widely seen in syndication around the world.
"It's pretty baffling to hear how successful it is in Australia and Israel. Mainly because I was in it," he said. "It's because the story was very relatable because it's family. Family is the same no matter what language you speak."
Romano feels that same theme shines through in the animated "Ice Age" film series, in which he voices a wooly mammoth named Manny. Romano says he's proud to have each of his children perform a speaking line in each movie in the series.
But now it's back to the stage, and Romano couldn't be happier.
"A ballplayer reaches a certain age that he can no longer hit the ball out of the park. Then he retires. But with stand-up he can keep doing it. Yes, you have to learn to adjust and you have to be more current and hopefully you hold up for some time."
Madison Square Garden President and CEO Hank Ratner says the Garden of Dreams Foundation has conducted events and programs for more than 215,000 children and their families, including those facing homelessness, extreme poverty, illness and foster care.

Citi earnings disappoint; BofA beats estimates
- Citigroup earned 38 cents a share in the fourth quarter
- Bank of America posted fourth-quarter earnings of 3 cents a share
- Bank of America%2C Citigroup signed last week%27s %248.5 billion mortgage settlemen
NEW YORK (AP) -- Citigroup earned 38 cents a share in the fourth quarter, well short of the 97 cents a share forecast by analysts, while Bank of America posted fourth-quarter earnings of 3 cents a share as it cleaned up problems from its mortgage unit.
FactSet's consensus earnings estimate for Bank of America was 2 cents a share. Bank of America made $732 million in the last three months of 2012, down from $1.99 billion in the period a year ago. In the prior quarter, the bank earned 15 cents a share. Both stocks fell Thursday.
It was Citigroup's first quarter under the leadership of CEO Michael Corbat, who took the helm after Vikram Pandit resigned in October.
"We recognize that our net income today doesn't yet reflect the amount or caliber of earnings that our shareholders expect and our franchise is capable of," Corbat said on a conference call with analysts to discuss the results.
Corbat's first bold move was a decision, announced in December, to cut 11,000 jobs, close dozens of branches and trim its consumer banking business in some countries. More than half of the job cuts were to come from the company's consumer banking unit. Citigroup took a previously announced charge of $1 billion in the quarter related to that "repositioning" process.
The bank has cut 7,000 jobs since the year-ago quarter, about 3% in its overall work force. Since the previous quarter, 3,000 jobs were eliminated. Citigroup now employs 259,000 people.
Citi earned $1.16 billion after paying preferred dividends, or 38 cents per share, in the three months ended Dec. 31. That compares with $933 million, or 31 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier.
Excluding one-time costs related to restructuring and accounting for outstanding debt, the bank earned 69 cents per share. That's well below the 97 cents per share analysts polled by FactSet were expecting.
Citigroup's Latin American and Asian operations, a traditional source of strength for the bank, helped drive the earnings growth. Net income from both regions rose 16% over fourth quarter of 2011.
In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, net income fell 6% from the previous year.
Revenue rose to $18.7 billion, up 8% from a year earlier and slightly below forecasts.
Citi's net interest revenue, which includes interest collected on loans and interest paid out to depositors, edged up to $12.15 billion from $12.08 billion a year earlier. Banks' interest income has been squeezed by ultra-low interest rates and competition for depositors. They are increasingly reliant on fee-based services like investment management and advisory offerings.
The bank's non-interest revenue, which includes fees and other categories, rose 18%, to $6.02 billion from $5.09 billion.
Citigroup reported $1.3 billion in legal and related expenses in the quarter.
A big part of the legal expense was a settlement with federal regulators announced last week related to Citigroup's foreclosure practices. The bank allegedly took part in industry-wide practices that caused people to be foreclosed on illegally. It took a charge of $305 million in the quarter to cover its agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve.
The higher legal expenses also included various expected costs related to its U.S. consumer business, which bank officials would not specify.
Citigroup also released less money from its rainy-day fund to cover souring loans — $86 million, compared with $1.47 billion a year earlier.
In a departure from an industry-wide trend, Citi said it originated fewer mortgages than in the year-ago quarter: $16.8 billion, down from $21.1 billion. Mortgage originations increased at the nation's other top banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America.
Earnings forecasts for Bank of America plunged from an average 14 cents a share last week after the bank announced multi-billion dollar settlements with mortgage-finance giant Fannie Mae and federal banking regulators. The bank said fourth-quarter results would be reduced to a "modest" profit.
Bank of America agreed to pay Fannie Mae $3.6 billion and buy back some loans it sold to Fannie Mae for an additional $6.75 billion.
Bank of America and Citigroup were among 10 banks that signed onto last week's $8.5 billion settlement with regulators over foreclosure and mortgage servicing issues involving borrowers in 2009 and 2010.
Bank of America earned $367 million in the last three months of 2012 after paying preferred dividends, down from $1.6 billion in the period a year earlier.
Revenue was dragged down by the Fannie Mae settlement. It fell to $19.6 billion after stripping out an accounting charge, down from $26.4 billion in the same period a year ago.
In a call with reporters, Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson said the bank is much better positioned than it was a year ago. He emphasized a jump in deposits, higher fees from investment banking, and shrinking debt.
As for future litigation in the mortgage unit, Thompson said, "I can't tell you exactly what else could be out there. But what I can tell you is that we put a lot of risk behind us in 2012."
Mortgages, which were a big revenue source for Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase in the fourth quarter, were also up at Bank of America, which funded 42% more mortgages over the year.
Bank of America has been struggling to figure out its identity as a mortgage maker. It catapulted to a top spot in mortgage banking in summer 2008, when it gobbled up Countrywide a few months before the financial crisis imploded. Countrywide was a California-based mortgage lender known for exotic loans, and Bank of America hailed the purchase as a triumph.
But the purchase has brought enormous headaches for Bank of America, including regulatory investigations, shareholder lawsuits and quarterly losses.
That's influenced Brian Moynihan, who became CEO a year and a half after the Countrywide purchase, to retreat from mortgages and sell off related units. Bank of America now controls about 4% of the U.S. mortgage market, compared to 22% shortly after it combined with Countrywide, according to the trade publication Inside Mortgage Finance. That puts it behind No. 1 Wells Fargo, with 30%, as well as JPMorgan and U.S. Bank.
Thompson said the bank expects to expand the mortgage unit, focusing on borrowers who are already bank customers. He declined to comment on the bank's shrunken market share.
"What we're focused on is doing more with our consumers, continuing to grow this, and if we do that well, where we are with our peers will take care of itself," Thompson said.
Citi's fourth-quarter results cover a tumultuous period that bracketed the ouster of CEO Vikram Pandit in October and an announced restructuring in December that involved 11,000 job cuts, about 4% of its workforce.
Pandit, who took charge of the bank in 2008 at the peak of the financial crisis, reportedly clashed with the board over strategy and the bank's relationship with the government. He was succeeded by Michael Corbat, who had led Citi's Europe, Africa and Middle East division.
Contributing: Associated Press
When Citi unveiled an overhaul in December, it said the moves would result in charges of $1 billion in the fourth quarter and $100 million in the first half of 2013. It said it expected expense savings of $900 million this year and $1.1 billion a year starting in 2014.

Oudomsay, LaosKirsty Turner
This is an area of intense natural beauty and the ideal place for trekking and to explore the neighbouring ethnic villages. Adventure sports such as rock climbing and rafting are popular here, while this is also a good place for cycling and bird watching.
Oudomsay is located close to the Chinese border and you will find an interesting mix of cultures as you wander through the province. There are 23 different ethnic minority groups living within the province, all with their own unique belief systems, customs, food and styles of dress.
A great way to spend a day is by trekking the 8 miles to the very pretty waterfall of Tad Lak Sip Et. Explore the Muong La District of Oudomsay and you will find an interesting range of temples, villages and hot spring located deep in the jungle.
One of Oudomsay's main attractions is the Saymoungkhoune Rattana Stupa. This towering white stupa is a sacred spot and a great place to visit if you're walking through the surrounding countryside. For spectacular views of the countryside, climb to the top of Phouxay Mountain. Gaze out at a rich vista of paddy fields, jungle, farmland and tiny villages before exploring the rest of the area.
A great place to try traditional Lao food is the Muang Xai market. People travel from all over the province to this large and vibrant market to sell their wares and this is a good place to stop eat and pick up and bargain or two.
An interesting way to travel through this region of Laos is to trek to Muang Say, then take a short bus or pickup truck ride to the picturesque village of Pakbeng. The mighty Mekong River flows from Pakbeng to Luang Prabang and the journey by large, wooden boat takes around five hours. As you sail slowly down the river you will pass limestone cliffs, mangroves and fishing villages.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Eli Manning found Victor Cruz on a 77-yard scoring pass in the final minutes Sunday, lifting the New York Giants to a see-saw 27-23 win over Washington.
The Redskins had grabbed a 23-20 lead as time wound down as Robert Griffin III engineered a seven-play, 77-yard scoring drive, capped by a 30-yard TD pass to Santana Moss.
But Manning responded with a big play of his own, connecting with Cruz on a bomb down the middle for the decisive play.
Manning amassed 337 yards for the game, finishing 26-of-40 through the air with two interceptions as New York (5-2) notched a third straight victory.
Andre Brown and Ahmad Bradshaw each added a rushing score for the Giants.
Griffin finished with a pair of TDs and an interception on 20-of-28 passing, good for 258 yards for the Redskins (3-4).
Alfred Morris ran for 120 yards on 22 carries in the setback.

*Last updated: October 2020 Quick Links What is a backhoe? What is a backhoe used for? Different types of backhoes? Where to hire a backhoe? What is a backhoe? A backhoe is an excavation machine that utilises a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm. Backhoe loaders are typically loader or tractor units that have a loader-style bucket on the front and a backhoe add-on (a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm) attached to the rear.Backhoes are excellent at staying stable while moving heavy loads, as they utilise hydraulic outriggers, stabilisers and a pair of legs that can be lowered down for extra stability. Backhoes are often used for the laying of telephone cables or pipes within mining or civil earthworks projects, and can also be driven directly to the job site (meaning you won't need to use a long-bed truck to transport the machine). Backhoes have a hinged boom on the back, attached to a machine that looks a bit like a tractor. Furthermore, they have a two-piece boom, and the hydraulic system manages the arm, ensuring that material can be pulled towards the machine and then lifted up. What is a backhoe used for? When it comes to using a backhoes they can be used for a large range of different projects. When hiring a backhoe you are essentially getting an excavator and a wheel loader in one making it ideal for a large range of projects, while you be able to save money and time as you wouldn't have to hire separate machines. The different sizes such as 2x4, 4x4 and a tracked backhoe make it ideal for all terrains and seasons. Some of the most common uses of backhoe work include: excavation landscaping breaking asphalt construction demolition clearing snow lifting and positioning cables material transport paving roads ditch digging trenching and foundation work. Backhoe loaders are touted for their ability to effectively combine the capabilities of three different machines into one, enabling project managers to utilise less machines on site for the same job. Backhoes can also be used for tasks such as tree planting and small-scale drilling with an auger attachment, and in combination with a front-end loader, are perfect for tasks like clearing dirt or snow from a certain area. Backhoes truly are versatile and innovative machines useful for a wide range of project applications from removing and clearing to building ponds. After more work for you and your fleet?

What is the right backhoe for your job? There are a few factors you need to consider before choosing which backhoe loader you need for your job. Backhoe loaders are great multi-function machines that are both cost and time efficient. The only major differences in backhoe models, aside from size, is their driving capacity, whether they are 4x4 driven, 2x4 driven or tracked.Backhoe loaders are perfect for light to medium workloads on jobs such as small demolition, digging holes, paving roads, breaking asphalt, laying pipes, setting up drainage systems and transporting heavy items. Backhoes are most effective when there is a range of work needing to be completed that could be done by multiple machines, but their individual hire rates are not cost effective.Backhoes are broken up into three parts, the boom, bucket and house, which make it easy for them to complete a range of jobs. Backhoes are designed to move over rough terrain with ease and not only dig up materials but also pick up and transport materials. There are many benefits to hiring a backhoe for your project, the main being the cost efficiency.Read more here

"I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how." ~ Joseph Stalin
A Long Time Ago in Boston: Part I
It's hard to imagine the United States existing without James Otis and Samuel Adams. It was Otis, in fact, who got the Revolution underway in a marathon courtroom speech in 1761. But it was Adams who carried his contemporaries home, the man perfectly suited to lead a revolt. The fiery Otis wavered in his convictions and eventually deteriorated mentally so much he was retired to a farm. Loss of one's health was the going price in politics back then. Though about the same age as Otis, Adams looked a generation older during Boston's political wars of the 1760s and 1770s. An inherited palsy instilled a permanent unsteadiness in his hands and head, and his hair turned gray early. The tremor in his hands was so intense he had difficulty writing, yet he was able to pen essays and deliver speeches that mark turning points in American history. Stress also took its toll on their political foils, Massachusetts Governor Francis Bernard and Lieutenant Governor and Chief Justice Thomas Hutchinson. As a man with no stomach for violent opposition, Bernard frequently pleaded with London to bring him back to England and reassign him. The personally brave Hutchinson suffered a mild stroke from his political battles with Otis and Adams. Even after achieving his life goal of governor, he was soon pleading with his English superiors to replace him with a more effective man. And they did. What made those days so stressful? Primarily three things: (1) The arrogance of Crown and Parliament in believing they could dictate policies for the colonies, (2) an unrealistic understanding of colonial trade, and (3) the unremitting determination of Samuel Adams to establish independence. Make no mistake ' Boston was the driving force of the American Revolution, and Adams and Otis were doing the driving. Otis inaugurates revolutionary thoughts Both men studied John Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers at Harvard and took the philosophy of man's rights and limited government to heart. Otis became a distinguished lawyer and later worked for the Crown as advocate general prosecuting smugglers in Boston's Vice-Admiralty Court. His life changed forever on November 13, 1760, however, when Bernard appointed Hutchinson to the Superior Court instead of Otis' father, who had been promised the position by previous governors. Otis believed he had talked Hutchinson into recommending his father for the position. When Hutchinson was named to the post instead, Otis resigned in a rage. A few months later he exacted a measure of revenge against Hutchinson. In a famous court case in which Hutchinson presided, Otis defended town merchants against the use of general search warrants called writs of assistance. In a speech that mesmerized his audience for over four hours, Otis raised the writs issue to philosophical levels and spoke at length about the connection of British law to natural rights. Man's rights, he said, took precedence over everything, even the survival of the state. Since the writs violated natural law and the unwritten English constitution, they were void the instant Parliament had created them. Other lawyers in the courtroom scribbled notes while he spoke, and his statements became the literature of the Revolution. Having a sparse legal background, Hutchinson postponed a ruling on the matter and months later got the court to decide in favor of the writs. Though Hutchinson had his way in a legal sense, he handed Otis a major political victory. Otis had exposed Hutchinson and Bernard as oppressors of merchant rights and won enough support to get elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in the spring of 1761. Adams opposes the 'power to abuse' Samuel Adams' father, Deacon Adams, had also suffered at the hands of Hutchinson. Around 1740, the Deacon and some associates founded a private bank that issued paper money using their land and homes as security. Two years later Hutchinson helped kill the bank, leaving the senior Adams deeply in debt. Samuel and his father managed to keep Massachusetts officials from seizing their home, but it was an episode that haunted young Adams for a long time. Samuel made his first political speech at his Harvard graduation ceremony in 1743, at age 20. With Governor Shirley and his council present, Adams delivered his talk entirely in Latin about the lawfulness of revolting against unjust government, though taking care not to mention the Crown officials present. During the 1750s, while Otis was learning his law, Adams wrote and spoke against the governor's administration, insisting the Crown had too much power and the province too little. Citing a trend we now take for granted, Adams said Massachusetts was giving up its rights by the hourglass method, a little at a time. He said it was right and necessary to criticize abuses of power, and anyone who disagreed was himself a rebel. Adams took this position repeatedly in later years, meaning it was the tyrant and his court who were out of line, not the ones opposing them, because government's sole purpose was to preserve liberty. The Stamp Tax ' the first major crisis The difference between Adams and most other colonists, including James Otis, could be seen in their reactions to the announcement of the Stamp Tax in 1765. While others responded variously with approval, rage, or grudging submission, Adams saw the coming tax as a blessing, because it presented an opportunity to move the colonies closer to independence. Adams was skilled at winning the support of Boston's tough guys, the blacksmiths, dockhands, sailors and other workers who would do most of the fighting if war with England broke out. He had already gained favor with them as a lenient tax collector by never pressing for payment when they were broke. Although many workers thought the Stamp Tax was unfair, they believed it would rarely affect them. But wait, Adams would tell them, consider this: you will be paying taxes on your marriage certificates, your children's school diplomas, the bills of sale on the houses and land you buy, even the playing cards you use. The workers' indignation was thus righteously stoked. In this manner he organized the 'Sons of Liberty,' a name extracted from a remark made by Colonel Isaac Barre, who had predicted to Parliament that 'those sons of liberty' across the Atlantic would fight the new tax. Always working behind the scenes, Adams sent them into action on August 14, 1765 in what became known as the Boston Stamp Act riot. The mob razed the houses of Thomas Hutchinson and pending stamp commissioner Andrew Oliver and sent Bernard fleeing to Castle William in the harbor. A month later Adams won a close vote for a House seat to replace the deceased Oxenbridge Thacher, co-counsel with Otis in the 1761 writs case. In the House Adams hammered away at the Stamp Tax and everyone who supported it, especially the governor, who had told the representatives the law must be obeyed. Bernard was so upset at the rioting and the savage verbal assaults that he predicted the end of government when the act took effect on November 1. 'The people here are actually mad,' he said. 'No man in Bedlam more so.' Otis meanwhile was representing the province as part of a three-man delegation to the Stamp Act Congress in New York, an intercolonial assembly he had organized earlier that year. In a radical mood when he left Boston, Otis became visibly conservative while in New York, where he dined with British General Thomas Gage. Back in Boston on November 5, Otis delivered a Pope's Day speech that Bernard described as 'a most inflammatory harangue.' Otis had coined the phrase, 'Taxation without representation is tyranny,' and believed the solution to colonial grievances was representation in the House of Commons. Adams convinced him representation would never work because London was too far away. Otis had been writing newspaper articles under the name Hampden, and the more he wrote, the further away from reconciliation with England he moved. With a change in his convictions came a decline in his health; he started having nosebleeds. In England, the colonies had enough supporters to get the Stamp Act repealed. Aside from the Whigs in Parliament, their greatest allies were British merchants who had incurred painful losses from the colonies' boycott of British goods. But along with repeal came a guarantee of more trouble to come: Parliament passed the Declaratory Act, asserting its power to legislate for the colonies.

America's unemployed are about to lose their government lifeline. Can big brother spare a dime?
As many as 1.5 million jobless could burn through their unemployment insurance by the end of the year unless Congress acts to beef up the program, the New York Times reports.
Tens of thousands are already on the dole, fighting foreclosures and poverty amid a bleak job climate. The national unemployment rate hit 9.5 percent in June, with Michigan owning the dubious distinction of having 15 percent of its workers jobless, according to the Times.
U.S. & World
"If more help is not on the way, by September a huge wave of workers will start running out of their critical extended benefits, and many will have nothing left to get by on even as work keeps getting harder to find," said Maurice Emsellem, a policy director for the National Employment Law Project, which forecasted the 1.5 million jobless projection.
Back in the day, workers could expect benefits for up to 26 weeks, the Times reports.
But these are extraordinary times.
About nine million Americans rely on unemployment checks each week that average $300, according to the Times. Some of those workers have not been able to find job for more than a year.
Last year, Congress upped the lifeline to 33 weeks, with 46 to 72 weeks for some states racked by the worst of the recession.
Washington Democratic Rep. Jim McDermott told the Times he plans to introduce a bill that would add 13 more weeks of temporary coverage to workers in states with an unemployment rate above nine percent.
The move is sure to spark debate between those who will say expanding benefits provides a perverse incentive to look for jobs, and others who will argue that the recession requires extraordinary expansion of the public safety net.

Choosing the right birth control
Birth Control
If you're considering using birth control, you have many options — from natural family planning and over-the-counter birth control products to prescription contraceptives or sterilization.
To help determine which birth control method would be best for you, consider your lifestyle, personal preferences and health status. How do you feel about planning for sex? Inserting birth control devices into your body? Taking a pill at the same time every day or tracking your fertile days? Permanently ending the ability to conceive or father a child?
It's also important to make an honest assessment of yourself, your partner and your relationship. You may have different birth control needs if you have sex often or you're not in a monogamous relationship. Ideally, you and your partner will discuss the options and reach a mutually beneficial decision.
Birth Control Options
Birth Control Pills
Birth control pills are a common type of contraception. If you're considering taking birth control pills, you may have more choices than you'd think.
You'll start by choosing either combination birth control pills or minipills. If you choose combination birth control pills, you'll have another choice — conventional packs or continuous dosing. With conventional birth control pills, you'll have a period every month. With continuous dosing birth control pills, you may have a period only four times a year or eliminate your period entirely.
Of course, each type of birth control pill has its own risks and benefits. Understand the basics, and then work with your health care provider to determine the best birth control pill for you.
Long-acting reversible contraception
If you know you want to become pregnant someday — just not anytime soon — long-acting reversible contraception may be a good choice for you. With long-acting reversible contraception, you get effective birth control with little day-to-day hassle.
Options for long-acting reversible contraception include:
- An intrauterine device (Mirena, ParaGard, Skyla)
- A contraceptive implant (Nexplanon)
- A contraceptive injection (Depo-Provera)
You need a prescription from your doctor for this type of birth control. Besides its effectiveness and ease of use, long-acting reversible contraception allows for a return to fertility once you stop using the contraception. With the intrauterine device and contraceptive implant, the return to fertility is prompt. With the contraceptive injection, return to fertility may take a little longer.
The intrauterine device or contraceptive implant requires a visit to your doctor for removal if you decide you no longer want to use this type of birth control.
Natural Family Planning
Natural family planning may be an appealing birth control option if you can't or choose not to use other contraceptives.
Popular types of natural family planning include the rhythm method, the cervical mucus method and the basal body temperature method. You can use these types of natural family planning to predict when you'll ovulate — and when you need to avoid unprotected sex, if you don't want to conceive. Another type of natural family planning is withdrawal, in which the man withdraws his penis from the vagina before ejaculation to prevent pregnancy.
Natural family planning requires motivation, diligence and self-control. Natural family planning isn't as effective as other types of birth control, but it's inexpensive and doesn't have any side effects.
If you're sure that you don't want to be pregnant — or father a child — at any point in the future, you may consider sterilization.
For men, vasectomy is the only option for sterilization. During this straightforward surgery, the tubes that carry sperm into the semen are cut and sealed. After a successful vasectomy, a man isn't able to father a child.
Women may be able to choose from a few sterilization options, including tubal ligation — a surgical procedure — and the Essure system, which permanently blocks the fallopian tubes.
Sterilization is an effective method of birth control. The decision to pursue sterilization must be taken seriously, however. Although reversal is sometimes possible after vasectomy or tubal ligation, sterilization of any type is considered permanent.
Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Emergency contraception isn't meant to be used in place of routine birth control — but it's an option if you've had unprotected sex, your method of birth control failed or you missed a birth control pill.
To be effective, emergency contraception must be used as soon as possible after unprotected sex. In the U.S., two types of emergency contraception are available: emergency contraceptive pills and the copper intrauterine device (IUD).
Emergency contraception pills are also known as the morning-after pill. Emergency contraception pills — such as Next Choice One Dose, Plan B One-Step and Ella — can be used up to five days after unprotected sex. However, the pills are more effective the sooner you take them.
Another option is a copper IUD (ParaGard). To prevent pregnancy, the IUD must be inserted within five days after unprotected sex.
Essure System
The Essure system is a type of permanent birth control for women. It cannot be reversed.
During insertion of the Essure system, your health care provider uses a flexible tube with a small camera (hysteroscope) inserted through the vagina, into the cervix and up to the uterus. Once the openings to the fallopian tubes are visualized, small metal and fiber coils are passed through the hysteroscope and into your fallopian tubes. The Essure system causes scar tissue to form around the coils, blocking your fallopian tubes and preventing sperm from reaching the egg.
The Essure system takes three months to become effective in preventing pregnancy, and in some women, it may take up to six months. During this time, you must use other contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy. Essure doesn't offer protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Other birth control options
When you think of birth control options, what comes to mind? Birth control pills are a popular choice, but don't stop there. Other birth control options abound — and the choice is up to you.
If you need birth control only occasionally, over-the-counter male or female condoms might be appropriate birth control options. Condoms also provide protection against sexually transmitted infections. The contraceptive sponge is another option that's available without a prescription. If you're most concerned about effectiveness, a prescription contraceptive such as the vaginal ring might be a better birth control option.
As you consider your birth control options, be open to all the possibilities. Get familiar with how different types of birth control work, as well as the risks and benefits of specific birth control options.

Tom Scholz attributes the 11-year wait for Boston's latest album, Life, Love & Hope, to his penchant for perfectionism and tinkering in the studio. "I'm surprised I got it done at all," he jokes. He's pictured here with his trademark '68 stripped goldtop Les Paul equipped with some kind of Rockman invention.
Prior to the late 1970s, guitar practice gear tended to produce small and inferior sounds. But then, the MIT graduate and Polaroid engineer Tom Scholz pioneered the Rockman—a pocket-sized headphone amp producing such robust analog effects as compression, distortion, cabinet simulation, chorus, and reverb. This development of course helped pave the way for digital plug-in-and-play hardware, software, and even free apps that today make it possible for a guitarist to instantly harness any sound imaginable—technology that, ironically, Scholz isn't particularly that fond of. "Don't get me started on the many shortcomings of digital sound," he says.
Scholz is perhaps best known as the pioneering member of the arena rock band Boston. The group's roots date back to the mid-'70s, when Scholz spent a fortune assembling a recording studio in the basement of his Watertown, Massachusetts, apartment, holing up there when he wasn't working at Polaroid. With the assistance of vocalist Brad Delp, Scholz painstakingly assembled the demos that in 1975 would land him a contract with Epic. These tapes would form the basis of the band's eponymous 1976 album, featuring Delp and Scholz along with guitarist Barry Goudreau, bassist Fran Sheehan, and drummer John "Sib" Hashian. It was one of the best-selling debuts in history, selling more than 17 million copies.
With such massive-sounding songs as "More Than a Feeling," "Peace of Mind," and "Foreplay/Longtime," Scholz built a template that would make Boston a staple of classic rock radio stations. He also arrived at a signature guitar style balancing searing harmonized lead lines with more introspective arpeggio work. But because of his tendency to record many variations of even the smallest details in a song, tirelessly experimenting until he found a magical combination of sounds, it was two years before Boston released its sophomore album, Don't Look Back (1978), and eight years between the subsequent albums Third Stage (1986), Walk On (1994), and Corporate America (2002).
Boston fans who've waited more than a decade for the group's latest release, Life, Love & Hope, will not be disappointed by the album's nostalgic sound, courtesy of Scholz's vintage gear, much of which has been in service since the debut album; by the posthumous presence of Brad Delp, who died in 2007; and by a handful of departures from the Boston template, such as female singers and flamenco-inspired acoustic work. "I don't think you can repeat the same thing over and over again and still consider it art," says Scholz. "You've got to step out and take some risks."
The new record seems to reference vintage Boston. Was this intentional?
Not exactly. I wasn't trying to recreate the good old days of early Boston releases, but I guess there's a bit of a throwback to the original recordings. Some artists cringe at their earliest efforts, but I'm not like that. I'm still very proud of the first Boston album, and I absolutely love "More Than a Feeling," so I'm always thrilled when my new work reminds me and others of previous things.
How would you say you've evolved as a musician since those days, both as a guitarist and composer?
I'm not sure whether I've evolved or devolved! [Laughs.] But what I'm doing now is probably different than what I was doing 30 years ago. I might not have made the most noticeable leaps and bounds as a musician, but I've tried an awful lot of different things and had an enormous amount of experiences as a human being, and these things have definitely manifested themselves in my music.
How so?
For instance, the song "Sail Away" is a reaction to the horror of how badly humans reacted following Hurricane Katrina—how horribly people were treated because of economic and racial reasons. It was a travesty, a sad and terrible commentary on human nature and on those who control our society. I was deeply affected, and it ended up being the subject matter for that song. Things both bad and good generally end up being the impetus for me to write or not write something.

Fun, games, and serious funding
DrupalCon Washington, D.C. 2009
Drupal community leaves its semi-annual conference more than US$ 650,000 richer.
This community report starts with a disclaimer. I am a Drupal nerd. This FOSS community looks inward at its own code as much as it looks outward to the clients it serves. Conversations at Drupal events range from database APIs to plotting crime statistics using geomapping tools to help people get home safely. This mix of code and humanity makes it easy to see why so many people are drawn to Drupal.
Dubbed "the event for Drupal developers," DrupalCon DC [1] was an overwhelming success. More than 1,400 Drupal fanatics gathered in Washington, D.C. to learn and share and have some fun. The organizing committee, led by Bonnie Bogle, did an outstanding job securing sponsors and turned a profit of nearly US$ 180,000. Yes, profit.
During the three-day conference, there were puppets (Figure 1), tree houses, [2] and fuse ball [3]. The usual suspects fired up ye olde Git vs. Bazaar debate. Sam Boyer and I had some newcomers this time, with author Victor Kane [4] weighing in, too. It wasn't all fun and games, though.
During the three-day conference, the community made a formal commitment to improve the visual design of Drupal. In his presentation on Drupal 7 themes, John Albin Wilkins talked about the need for Drupal to speak to designers in their own language. He gave the analogy of a middle school dance with everyone standing awkwardly around the outer edges of the room. Drupal needs to learn how to engage designers using language they understand instead of trying to force its own vocabulary on designers. A new group is now looking at ways to attract professional designers without succumbing to amateur tactics, such as design competitions. Morten.dk has taken on the challenge of organizing an attractive package for designers at DrupalCon Paris (September 2009).
At DrupalCon DC it was announced that Knight Drupal Initiative (KDI) granted almost US$ 500,000 to six Drupal community projects. These projects include documentation sprints, microblogging, Facebook integration, shared community news, and geotagging [5]. The Knight Foundation looks to support projects that are making online publishing easier. These grants are in addition to the US$ 5 million the Knight Foundation distributes annually through its Knight News Challenge [6].
Documentation continues to shine in the Drupal community. The KDI awarded the community's efforts, led by Addison Berry, with more than US$ 50,000 to support documentation sprints around the world. In addition to the sprints, Addison is preparing a best practices guide on how to run a documentation sprint. At DrupalCon DC more than 70 participants sprinted to improve the style guide and reduce the number of identified documentation-related bugs on Drupal.org.
Self-selected cat herders [7] at the doc sprint made sure everyone had something to work on. One of the neatest code-related additions that came out of the sprint is a context-sensitive CVS tab for project web pages. This tab is now available on the Drupal.org website and offers module-specific instructions on how to use the Drupal CVS system for each project hosted by Drupal.org.
Videos for all sessions are available through the DrupalCon website. More than half were available by the end of the third and final day of the conference. Check out the DrupalCon website session pages for a comment leading to the uploaded videos.

Within the next week I'm buying a new kite size 7 or 8 square meters, and you get to decide, which one I'm buying
I have narrowed the choice down to two posibilities: Cabrinha Drifter 2012 or Slingshot Rally 2012.
I'm looking for a kite, that will behave good both as a freeride and wavekite. I have been kitesurfing for 5-6 years but are a beginner when it comes to waveriding. When a write "good" I mean: Easy to use/plug-and-play, esay to control, easy to relaunch.
So which one am I going to order? I can get the Rally slightly cheaper than the Drifter, but it's not much, så the price is not the issue
At the moment I have a Cabrinha Swithblade 2012 size 12 and a Cabrinha Nomad 2010 size 9. I absolutely love my Switchblade, but I think it will be to much to handle in the smaller sizes (especially when it comes to waveriding). The Nomad I have never really liked that much
Best regards

Following Steve Jobs' discussion of his longing for DRM-free music, there's been a buzz going around the Web about the possibility of Apple offering DRM-free tracks on the iTunes store. Peter Lewis and Apple literati John Gruber have both been talking about it of late, and present a decent argument for why it's never going to happen.
So why isn't it going to happen? As Peter Lewis puts it, because of the "tyranny of choice." I think the wording there is a bit harsh, but in the end his point boils down to consistency. Apple have long been, and continue to be, fans of standardizing (and in some cases sanitizing) the user experience so it's consistent over different hardware/platforms/etc. Unless all of the major labels agreed to sell DRM-free tracks on iTunes, allowing all the music sold to be consistent, Apple would have to further differentiate between DRMed and non-DRMed tracks.
It's clearly not a technical problem, since there are already "Clean" and "Explicit" versions of many songs, which are tagged as such. There are more issues with labeling non-DRMed tracks the same way and allowing some DRM-free sales, though. First and foremost, it requires users to pay more attention to what they're doing and also to understand the differences between tracks they're downloading (more so than just knowing if a track will scorch Junior's tender ears). With more complexity, you tend to get more confusion, so ultimately people will get confused about DRM, and get unhappy. In the end, the iTunes experience will be harder to keep consistent, and would likely lose the ease and "feel" that it currently has.
The other issue, in my mind anyway, is the possible inconsistencies involved with a partial transition to DRM-free sales. Say a label agrees to sell DRM-free music. Will all music released from a certain point onwards lack DRM? Will they go through the back catalog? Will they go through all of the back catalog? I've had trouble buying the explicit version of an album on iTunes before, so I shudder to think how frustrating a partial transition could be, and how it might degrade the user experience.
Gruber has conceeded that "most users don't pay attention", but takes a bit of a different view on the situation. In his mind, even having DRM-free music sold on iTunes and having different "rules" for that would be far less confusing than the current situation. Multiple flavors of DRM and their various intricacies lead to a fairly complex situation as well, so perhaps a confusing but partially DRM-free iTunes Store would be preferable, since it could allow smaller labels to sell music on iTunes as well.
The bottom line here is that Apple will either have to cut a groundbreaking deal with most of the major record labels and remove DRM from the iTunes Store, or they will have to sacrifice some of the standardization and user experience in order to offer some DRM-free tracks, a move which has the potential for a lot of headaches. I'd love at least some DRM-free tracks on iTunes, and I know I would be careful when buying. However, given the variety of consumers the iTunes Store has, I don't think Apple would be willing to take a step like that without being able to fully remove DRM from the Store, something which is unlikely to happen for some time.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Next week, I am tentatively planning a webcast on Oct 3, 2013 @ 12:30pm ET as I have done over the past couple of years aimed at First Time Attendees. Once I get things confirmed, I will post a link for registration. I updated my PPT Deck with the new information and realized that most of the message and events / timings are similar to the past two years.
I first did this webcast in 2011 and created a series of companion blog posts that are still very relevant for this year. Naturally, some references to locations and specifics to Seattle will not apply, but much of the information is consistent with this year's Summit and can still provide guidance to new attendees. So I am providing links to the blog posts below from 2011 and hope that they will be useful.to this year's attendees.
