Death and the Maiden: City of Dreams, City of Nightmares...

Publisher Description
Ida Rosenkranz is top diva at the Vienna Opera, but she's gone silent for good after an apparent laudanum overdose. Learning of her professional rivalries and her scandalous affairs with older men, Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt and Dr. Max Liebermann suspect foul play instead.
Their investigation leads them into dark and dangerous conflicts with Gustav Mahler, the opera's imperious director, who is himself the target of a poison pen campaign, and Karl Lueger, Vienna's powerful and anti-Semitic mayor.
As the peril escalates, Rheinhardt grows further into his role as family man, while Liebermann finds himself at odds with his inamorata, Amelia, who's loosening both her corset and her tongue in the new feminist movement.
A Blackstone Audio production.

Wait for permanent replacement for Letten to continue into fall
Senate agenda leaves out confirmation of Kenneth Polite as U.S. attorney for Eastern District of Louisiana
The wait for a permanent replacement for U.S. Attorney Jim Letten will continue into September.
The WDSU I-Team has learned that the Senate is not scheduled to vote on the nomination of Kenneth Polite Thursday.
In February, Polite's name was sent by Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu to President Barack Obama as the person to replace Letten as top federal prosecutor for this area.
More than a month ago, the president accepted that request and formally nominated Polite, sending it to the Senate for confirmation.
The Senate votes on Thursdays, the agenda was released Wednesday afternoon and Polite's nomination is not scheduled to be addressed.
It could be added as an emergency item, but that is highly unlikely.
Thursday is the last day for Congress to vote on Polite's nomination before members go on recess until after Labor Day.
Polite is a former federal prosecutor who was the only person nominated by Landrieu.
Letten resigned amid an online blogging scandal that rocked his office and led to the resignations of several senior prosecutors in his office and the collapse of at least two major white-collar corruption cases.
Reached by phone, Polite says he is honored to be nominated and plans on leading the office when confirmed, even if he has to wait until the late summer or early fall.
Polite says he is one of two U.S. attorneys nationwide who are waiting on Senate confirmation.
The other person is nominated to serve as U.S. attorney in the Chicago area.

(1.64 m) Weight: 121 Pounds (55kg) Hot Jennifer Lopez was born in the Castle Hill section of the South Bronx on July 24, 1969. Jennifer always dreamed of being a world famous superstar. As a child Jennifer enjoyed a variety of musical genres, mainly Afro-Caribbean rhythms like salsa or bachata, and mainstream music like Pop, Hip hop and R&B. Although she loved music, the film industry also intrigued her. And sexy J Lo made it, partly due to her curvaceous figure. Who hasn't seen J Lo ass upskirt pictures? Lopez butt upskirt is to die for. We can't say though she owes her fame to her shape. J Lo worked hard to reach stardom. At age five, young Jennifer Lopez began taking singing and dancing lessons. At age eighteen she moved out of her parent's home. During this time she worked at a law firm while she took dancing jobs at night (wish I could see hot teen J Lo dancing). Her big break came when she was offered a job as a fly girl on Fox's hit comedy "In Living Color". After a two-year stay at "In Living Color" where actress Rosie Perez served as choreographer, Lopez than went on to dance for famed singer-actress Janet Jackson. Her first major film was Gregory Nava's My Family, and her career went into over-drive when she portrayed slain Tejana singer Selena Quintanilla Perez in Selena (1997). Today, J Lo is a successful singer and actress. Her spicy videos in which she shows J Lo upskirt ass and sexy figure can get anybody horny!href="http://www.upskirtcollection.com/celebs.html?id==$_GET['id']?>" title="hottest up skirt">teen Britney was the perfect picture of innocence, declaring herself a Virgin until marriage yet, on the other hand, she was sexually charged and provocative, with performance such as the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000, when her costume made her appear scantily-clad. We'll show only sexy Britney spears upskirt voyeur material. The image the public always saw was a gorgeous young woman, beautifully dressed and damn close to perfection, often labeled the "Pop Princess" around the world.

The five-fight pay-per-view main card is set for UFC 136, and the October card features two title fights and what's expected to be a No. 1 contender's bout.
UFC 136 takes place Oct. 8 at Houston's Toyota Center.
Headlining "UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard 3" is a third meeting and lightweight title fight between champion Frankie Edgar (13-1-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) and challenger Gray Maynard (10-0-1 MMA, 8-0-1 UFC).
"Frankie and Gray had a 'Fight of the Year' candidate the last time they met, and I expect nothing different this time around in Houston," UFC President Dana White stated about the draw. "Both guys truly believe they won the last fight, and the wait for their third fight is over. On Oct. 8, neither of these guys plans on leaving it to the judges."
Also slated for the PPV main card is a featherweight title fight between champ Jose Aldo (19-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and challenger Kenny Florian (15-5 MMA, 12-4 UFC).
Additionally, Chael Sonnen (25-11-1 MMA, 4-4 UFC) and Brian Stann (11-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) meet in a middleweight fight that White recently said will likely determine a new No. 1 contender.
Rounding out the main-card lineup are heavyweights Dave "Pee Wee" Herman (21-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Mike Russow (14-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and lightweights Melvin Guillard (29-8-2 MMA, 10-4 UFC) vs. Joe Lauzon (20-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC).

Cross-posted from the blog of State Government Radio commentator Barlow Herget:
See if the pig is in the bag
By Barlow Herget
The idea of the Internet as the next big thing in education is an appealing vision. There are ways now being tried in some schools in which computer programs and the Internet are designed to aid teachers in developing custom learning plans for individual students.
But the virtual schools that for-profit companies are pedaling to financially strapped North Carolina school boards are pigs in a poke. The State Board of Education and its chairman Bill Harrison are correct to ask for a detailed review of such questionable sales.
The issue surfaced after the Cabarrus School Board was casting about to save money in these tight budget times. Under the guise of a charter school, a North Carolina non-profit, NC Learns, sold the Cabarrus board a virtual school program operated by a for-profit company called K12.
The charter school expects to get over $18 million in public school funds, most of which will be paid to K12. The N.C. Virtual Academy as it's called, offers to teach 2,700 students from across the state.
Now, stop and think.
Does an on-line K through 12 school pass the common sense test? Hardly.
How does the company teach elementary students on-line? It boggles the mind to think that a young child will sit in front of a computer or operate a computer and learn as well as in a classroom with a live, trained teacher.
One report says teachers will be replaced by "coaches" otherwise known as parents. Not a great idea for children with two working parents.
Yes, young children are adept in operating computers better than many older adults. But K12 assumes that all students can afford computers that are compatible with its programs and are up-to-date with ever new Internet demands.
What about weekly if not daily Internet and computer glitches? Computers today are reputed to have more computing power than those that sent astronauts to the Moon. And the typical computer user today feels like he or she is on the Moon when the machine crashes or inexplicably malfunctions.
These are just the nuts and bolts questions. There are much larger issues such as the traditional school's role in teaching children to get along with others. On that topic, how do virtual school students participate in athletics? Wii games? Recent research also reports that children's brains go on auto-pilot when learning on-line.
The New York Times looked at K12 and found it lacking in student achievement. The minimum that the state School Board should do is look into K12's bag to see if the pig is in there and not just a sales squeal.

American executives were to be on the hotseat in Britain on Monday as they faced questioning by U.K. tax authorities over how they managed to pay so little tax on earnings that amounted to billions. Amazon, Google and Starbucks have found doing business in the U.K. to be highly profitable, yet have paid little or no tax on their earnings.
Reuters reported Monday that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), the body responsible for overseeing government financial affairs, has invited executives from the three corporations to give evidence about their financial practices even as the public and politicians alike grow increasingly irate over international companies' ability to engage in tax avoidance.
"It is hard for the ordinary person to believe it's fair," said Margaret Hodge in the report. Hodge, a member of Parliament for the Labour party and chairman of PAC, continued, "It makes people incredibly angry in the current fiscal climate."
Britain is not the only country to seek larger tax receipts from multinational corporations. Germany, along with Britain, had announced last week that they both intended to compel G20 economic officials to crack down on multinationals that do not pay their "fair share" of taxes, after numerous reports that large companies took advantage of loopholes to cut or eliminate their tax bills.
An October Reuters report revealed that Starbucks had paid neither corporate nor income taxes in the U.K. for the past three years, and indeed forked over only 8.6 million pounds ($13.74 million) in total taxes to Britain over a 13-year period during which it recorded sales of 3.1 billion pounds.
The group U.K. Uncut has voiced its opposition to government austerity measures and has put together protests against British telecom operator Vodafone and pharmacist Boots over their tax practices, issued a statement Monday saying that it planned to target Starbucks.
The American coffee company said it followed the tax rules in every country where it operates and sought to pay its fair share of taxes, and a spokeswoman was quoted in the report saying, "We are committed to being transparent on this issue and look forward to appearing before this committee."
According to a PAC spokesman, not only Starbucks' CFO Tory Alstead will give evidence before the committee, but so will Matt Brittin, CEO of Google U.K., and Andrew Cecil, Brussels-based director of public policy for Amazon.
According to Google's filings, had $4 billion in U.K. sales in 2011, but its main U.K. division paid only 3.4 million pounds for the year despite a groupwide profit margin of 33%. Google channels its non-U.S. sales through an Irish division to avoid U.K. tax. This way it only pays taxes of 3.2% on its non-U.S. profits.
In 2011, Amazon's main U.K. division paid less than 1 million pounds in income tax on U.K. sales of $5.3–7.2 billion, according to its filings. The megaseller funnels its European sales through a division based in Luxembourg, thus paying only 11% on its foreign profits in 2011. That's less than half its major markets' average corporate income tax rate.
Hodge and former financial services minister Paul Myners said in the report that the government should consider a new revenue-based tax to keep profits from U.K. sales within the country.

Technology such as smart phones and tablets are being used to reduce the numbers of missed GP and outpatient appointments.
It is estimated that more than 12 million doctors' appointments are missed each year in the UK, costing in excess of £162 million a year while just under seven million outpatient hospital appointments are missed each year, costing an average of £108 per appointment in 2012/13.
Missed appointments, known as did not attends or DNAs, can cause serious delays in treatment for other patients.
But by making the appointment system fit into patient's lives more easily, the NHS hopes to cut the numbers of missed appointments and save precious resources.
Simple initiatives such as sending email and text reminders are now used by many clinics, and are already beginning to have an impact with outpatient DNAs falling to 9.1% from 10.5% in 2008/9.
The NHS is also rolling out solutions which let patients check, book and cancel appointments at their own convenience and order repeat medication online.
In an effort to get the message across to the wider public of the cost of missed appointments, the NHS is using today's Change Day 2014 to appeal to patients to turn up and help push DNA numbers even lower.
Change Day asks patients, staff and providers commit to one action that will improve care within the NHS. The scheme, in its second year, has already seen 225,000 people make a personal pledge to improve the NHS, which prior to launch is already up on last year's total of 189,000 pledges.
Doctors are also making the most of the rise of smartphones and tablets to connect with patients with outpatient consultations via Skype becoming increasingly common for patients who do not need a physical examination.
Telecare and telehealth services are also expanding, which means patients can monitor their health at home and access medical advice without regular visits to their surgery.
Beverley Bryant, of NHS England, said: "It's important that people realise that not turning up to appointments can have a big impact on the care and treatment we are able to give other patients. It wastes doctors' and nurses' time too, which costs taxpayers money.
"Patient care is always at the top of our agenda. That's why we are doing everything we can to make our service match with people's lifestyles and the technology they use, to give more people easy access to the services they need. We hope the public will do their bit too by making sure they attend or cancel appointments in good time. That way, everybody benefits."

Harry Styles Is Having An Affair With 32-Year-Old British Host Again
New reports claim that Harry Styles, the 17-year-old teen heartthrob from One Direction is still hooking up with a woman almost twice his age! And now she's receiving death threats! Read more to find who!
There's not denying that One Direction singer, Harry Styles, is loved by the ladies! At only 17, his boyish good looks, retro sense of style and killer voice is making him a household name among the teen crowd.
But it seems that Harry has set his sights on an older woman — 15 years older to be exact — the British X Factor Host Caroline Flack. "Harry got involved with Caroline in October," an insider tells Life & Style. "He even introduced her to his mother. Both their social circles were shocked at how fast they moved."
Even more shocked by the strange romance were hard-core One Direction fans, who went so far to send Caroline death threats! "She was pretty freaked out," revealed the insider.
After dating for several months, the pair reportedly parted ways last January. "Please know I didn't 'dump' caroline. This was a mutual decision. She is one of the kindest, sweetest people I know. Please respect that," Harry tweeted. However, the insider claims that the two have been secretly hooking up again! "There's a huge physical attraction between them," the insider added. "It's made it hard for them to walk away from each other."

About Me
- bomobob
- A blog mostly about my photography, my etsy shop, travel, and other assorted addictions and predilections. I've been passionate about photography for just about as long as I can remember, right from that very first 1960s Kodak Brownie around my wrist at Upper Canada Village... A great deal of my adult life has been spent travelling the world for extended periods, always with cameras in tow. My photographic interests run the gamut from intimate portraits to landscapes to ephemera to street life. Although firmly entrenched in the digital age, I have a weakness for film and for old cameras.

After postponing his 2014 U.S. tour due to illness last month, Paul McCartney has announced his rescheduled tour.
McCartney made the announcement today in a YouTube video. "The dates that [had been] postponed, the concerts and shows, have been rescheduled for September and October," McCartney said. He was dressed in a white button-down shirt and standing in what appeared to be a rehearsal room. "So come and see us then, we'll come and see you."
The 2014 U.S. tour now begins July 5 in Albany, N.Y. and runs through Oct. 30 in Greensboro, N.C.
Check out all the tour dates on McCartney's website.
As for his health, in the video he looks and sounds fine. "Everybody's been asking me how I feel—I feel great, thank you very much for asking," McCartney said. He then finishes up with a quick bit of air guitar, the international sign of, "I feel great, thank you very much for asking."

Stiff back has Detwiler's next start in question
NEW YORK -- In a need of an extra pitcher, the Nationals recalled right-hander Erick Davis from Triple-A Syracuse and optioned outfielder Jeff Kobernus to Syracuse.
The move comes after it was learned that left-hander Ross Detwiler is dealing with a stiff back, which he suffered in Friday's 6-4 win over the Mets. Detwiler pitched five innings and didn't give any indication that something was wrong.
If Detwiler can't make his next start which is scheduled for Wednesday, right-hander Ross Ohlendorf will make the start, according to manager Davey Johnson. Ohlendorf also pitched in Friday's game and allowed a run in two innings against the Mets.
It marks the second time Detwiler has dealt with an injury this year. In May, Detwiler suffered a right oblique injury, which landed him on the disabled list for a few weeks.
"Hopefully, [the trainers] can do their magic in the trainer's room and he'll be able to do his [bullpen session]," Johnson said. "If he can't do his side, there is a chance he could miss a start. I will probably [use a starter] in-house, probably go with Ohlendorf. I also want to be careful on how I use Ohlendorf in the next couple of days."
As for Davis, he will make his second stint in with the club this season. In his first stint, Davis allowed three runs in 4 1/3 innings. When he was sent back to Syracuse, he made it a point to improve his breaking pitches, especially the curveball.
"I learned what works, what doesn't work," Davis said. "By no means do I feel I worked everything out, but I went to Syracuse and worked on a few things, especially consistency with my breaking ball and my off-speed pitches. I was just learning to be myself out there every time out."
Davis found out his promotion at midnight on Saturday and hopped a plane from Syracuse to meet the team in New York that morning.

Sore subject: Herpes isn't a Greek god
When I was a freshman in college, my fellow pre-med friend, George, pointed at my face and laughed. I asked him what was so funny. He chanted, "You've got a herpes, you've got a herpes..." and did a funny bunny-like dance.
The classroom erupted in laughter as I defended myself, "It's a zit!" (This preceded Seinfeld's famous rejoinder, "It was a scratch, not a pick," when his girlfriend caught him touching his nose in the car.)
So why was I so embarrassed over this cold sore? For starters, my parents never let me share glasses or silverware, or greet other people with a kiss on the lips because they didn't want me to get a cold sore. So to me, herpes was something to be embarrassed about.
It goes beyond embarrassment. Herpes can weaken the immune system and can allow HIV to enter the body more easily. Pregnant women with herpes can give their newborns potentially blinding and fatal conditions. But let's backtrack a minute.
There are two types of Herpes Simplex Viruses: HSV-I (cold sore) and HSV-II (genital herpes). They sound like car models: "I drive the 4-wheel HSV– I and can't say enough about it. It's a mouthful." However, about 10-20 percent of the time, each type of herpes can show up on the "wrong part of the body": HSV-I on the genitals, HSV-II on the face.
Shockingly, studies have shown that depending on the population sample, 45 to 98 percent of adults have HSV-1 antibodies. This means it's likely that even those who have never had a cold sore have been exposed to HSV-I. Not everyone who has herpes will have an outbreak of blisters. Whether a cold sore will pop up is as good a guess as Dionne Warwick's predictions.
Forty to sixty million North Americans have HSV-II antibodies, meaning they have been exposed to HSV-II. "Genital herpes" is the most widespread STD in the world: 25-35 percent of sexually active adults are affected.
Here's the scary fact: about 40-60 percent of people with herpes don't know they have it. You might ask how anyone could not know they have painful blisters that take at least two weeks to heal. "Was he in a coma? Was she at Mardi Gras?"
It is believed that not everyone has a breakout of blisters when contaminated with herpes, and only about one-third of people who do have an initial breakout will have future outbreaks. So some lucky people never have a breakout. Others didn't know what the blisters were and did the ostrich maneuver: head in sand.
You can close your mouth now. It's shocking to know that herpes is so prevalent and you might actually be a carrier. People with HSV can break out with blisters years, even decades, after exposure– a fact which has unfortunately ruined many relationships.
I have had married or partnered patients who broke out with herpes blisters and were subsequently accused of infidelity. I have treated people who for genital herpes from oral sex, touching the mouth lesion and then the genitals, etc. The emotional and psychological stress that occurs in these situations is horrible.
Can you prove someone has been unfaithful? Not really, but in general the first outbreak after initial exposure is huge: fever, blisters that light up the Eastern Seaboard fever, and the person feels really ill. Down-the-road outbreaks tend to be more mild.
Herpes is not a popular dinner-table topic. It ranks up there with politics, religion, and Gigli. So next time you're having dinner and say, "Pass the peas," see if they're his peas, your peas, or herpes.
In all seriousness, check my webpage under cecats.com/topics and look for herpes if you want more information.

2 teens killed, 1 teen injured in Middle River car crash
Baltimore County police said speed was a factor in a single-car crash that killed two teens and sent a third teen to a hospital.
Police were called to the 1100 block of Bowleys Quarters Road in Middle River around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Crash investigators said the driver, identified as 17-year-old Alejandro Santiago Wine, of Essex, was traveling north on Bowleys Quarters Road near New Section Road at a high rate of speed.
Police said he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road, crossed the center line into the southbound lane and began to spin. The car crossed the center line a second time, moving into and across the northbound lane. It left the road on the east side and struck two utility poles.
Wine and the other front seat passenger, 17-year-old Ryan James Boothe, of Essex, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The third passenger, 17-year-old John Robert Morris III, also of Essex, was transported by Baltimore County EMS personnel to Bayview Trauma. His condition was not yet available.
The teens were students at Kenwood High School.
"We are a very close-knit community here at Kenwood, and we are giving the teachers who have taught these students the support that they need through our counseling staff. Most of all, our prayers and our thoughts go out to the families of these two young men," Kenwood High School Principal Paul Martin said.
The Boothe family said Ryan's viewing will be held Saturday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Fourteen Companies Demonstrate Support for KMIP and XACML OASIS Standards at RSA Conference
Axiomatics, Boeing, Dell, Forgerock, NextLabs, Oracle, and ViewDS Enforce Authorization and Entitlement Policies with XACML. Cryptsoft, HP, IBM, QuintessenceLabs, Thales e-Security, Townsend Security, and Vormetric Demonstrate Interoperable Key Management Using KMIP
San Francisco, CA; 25 Feb 2013 – Support for two of the most widely adopted security standards from the OASIS international consortium are showcased at the RSA Conference in Booth 3012 this week. The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) and the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) OASIS Standards are being featured in two separate demonstrations involving fourteen companies. These organizations provide solutions that offer implementers a range of products backed by the assurance of interoperability over time.
KMIP Interop
Interoperable communication between key management clients and key management servers is the focus of the KMIP demonstration. Clients from Cryptsoft, IBM, Quintessence Labs, and Thales e-Security communicate with key management servers from Cryptsoft, HP, IBM, Quintessence Labs, Thales e-Security, Townsend Security and Vormetric. Together, the clients and servers demonstrate the full key management life-cycle including creating, registering, locating, retrieving, deleting, and transferring symmetric and asymmetric keys and certificates between vendor systems. Support for multiple versions of KMIP is being demonstrated, including the new KMIP 1.1 OASIS Standard, as well as KMIP 1.0 and KMIP 1.2 (currently under development).
XACML Interop
The XACML demonstration shows how access control can be managed in large-scale environments where resources are distributed and policy administration is federated. Axiomatics, Boeing, Dell, Forgerock, NextLabs, Oracle, and ViewDS show implementations of the XACML Intellectual Property Control, Export Control-US, JSON and REST Profiles. These profiles enable organizations to control the usage and distribution of data according to resource properties such as Copyright, Trademark, Proprietary, Export Control Classifications, and licensing authorities, while using the latest communication protocols across various platforms and applications. During the showcase, resource attributes are obtained directly from metadata in the data objects themselves and travel with the data objects.
Support for KMIP Interop
"OASIS KMIP delivers–2010 saw KMIP products in development, 2011 brought products from the early adopters, 2012 showed us deployed interoperability via KMIP was a reality, and in 2013 we're now seeing widespread industry adoption. As one of the most widely used OEM suppliers of KMIP technology, Cryptsoft is committed to enabling industry adoption of KMIP. Our SDKs and adaptors enable our clients to both embrace KMIP and support existing non-KMIP solutions."
— Tim Hudson, Chief Security Architect, Cryptsoft
Thales e-Security
"Participants in the OASIS interoperability booth are demonstrating their commitment to the KMIP standard, and Thales is delighted to showcase keyAuthority, its own high assurance key manager. These types of events give customers confidence to develop their own key management strategies and act as a catalyst for the enterprise key management market."
–Bob Lockhart, Chief Solutions Architect Key Management, Thales e-Security
"We are delighted to be demonstrating interoperable key management in the OASIS booth at RSA Conference. KMIP is gaining rapid adoption as the industry standard protocol for key management between an encryption client and a key management server, and Vormetric is pleased to take part in this interoperability effort."
— Ashvin Kamaraju, VP of Product Development, Vormetric
Support for XACML Interop
"As Axiomatics provides editorial support for XACML 3.0, we're very happy to see OASIS organizing this interop to demonstrate some of the latest features of XACML 3.0 including the new JSON and REST profiles. The JSON and REST profiles will make XACML-driven authorization available to a broader developer audience that prefer lighter weight encoding and transport formats."
— Gerry Gebel, President Axiomatics Americas
"Protecting intellectual property and properly authorizing access to export-controlled data are key concerns for enterprise computing security organizations. Our EC-US and IPC profiles provide standardized attribute names/values for creating access control policies. Utilization of metadata as resource attributes affords enhanced mechanisms for IP protection and export control enforcement. Our product, CIPHER, scans files and tags them with EC-US and IPC metadata, which can then be evaluated by XACML PDPs at runtime."
– John Tolbert, Security Strategist, The Boeing Company
"Oracle's Cloud, Enterprise Applications and Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies rely on Oracle Entitlements Server, our XACML-based authorization solution, making it easier to manage identity in today's social, mobile and cloud environments. Oracle's complete platform approach to identity management is entirely standards-based. We are committed to open standards and interoperability because we believe it is the only scalable and sustainable approach to identity."
— Marc Boroditsky, vice president of Identity Management, Oracle

Microsoft Expands Retail Surface With 32 New Holiday Stores
As part of the big retail push that will follow the launch of Windows 8 and its forthcoming Surface tablet, Microsoft will open a number of holiday stores in the U.S. and Canada. And on Monday morning, the company announced the 32 markets it has chosen for these pop-up brick-and-mortar storefronts. The full list is below, but the locales Microsoft has selected are what you'd expect: Miami, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Atlanta ….
Expanding its retail footprint in this way is a savvy move for Microsoft, which will soon debut its latest Windows OS and, along with it, Surface, a tablet of its own design. The company has said it will sell Surface only through its own retail stores and Microsoft.com. And with fewer than two dozen Microsoft Stores in the U.S. right now, the opportunies for consumers curious about Surface to have some hands-on time with the device would be few and far between. Adding another 32 temporary stores in malls around the country will do much to change that and ensure that Surface gets the sort of consumer attention Microsoft is hoping for. And it gives the company a few more chances to generate some holiday buzz around Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, as well.
Here's the complete list of malls where Microsoft will open pop-up stores:
· Aventura Mall — Aventura, FL
· Beachwood Place — Beachwood, OH
· Cherry Creek Shopping Center — Denver, CO
· Dadeland Mall — Miami, FL
· Eaton Centre — Toronto, ON
· Fashion Mall at Keystone — Indianapolis, IN
· Fashion Show Mall — Las Vegas, NV
· Glendale Galleria — Glendale, CA
· Mall at Green Hills — Nashville, TN
· Mall in Columbia — Columbia, MD
· Metropolis at Metrotown — Burnaby, BC
· Montgomery Mall — Bethesda, MD
· Natick Collection — Natick, MA
· North Star Mall — San Antonio, TX
· Oakridge Centre — Vancouver, BC
· Penn Square Mall — Oklahoma City, OK
· Perimeter Mall — Atlanta, GA
· Roosevelt Field Mall — Garden, City, NY
· Ross Park Mall — Pittsburgh, PA
· Saint Louis Galleria — St. Louis, MO
· San Francisco Centre — San Francisco, CA
· South Shore Plaza — Braintree, MA
· Southpark Mall — Charlotte, NC
· Stonebriar Centre Mall — Frisco, TX
· Streets at Southpoint — Durham, NC
· Time Warner Center – The Shops at Columbus Circle — New York, NY
· Washington Square — Portland, OR
· West Edmonton Mall — Edmonton, AL
· Westfarms Mall – West Hartford, CT
· Westfield Garden State Plaza — Paramus, NJ
· Woodland Hills Mall — Tulsa, OK
· Woodlands Mall — Woodlands, TX

Nate Diaz isn't the only Cesar Gracie Fight Team member who's had a tough time getting into Canada.
In fact, the team's namesake said he ran into red tape and won't be attending UFC 129 this Saturday in Toronto.
"I don't have the American passport thing going – I have the whole Brazilian thing, and I had issues getting a visa over there," Cesar Gracie today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I'm going to watch like you guys on TV."
Three of Gracie's students are fighting at the sold-out pay-per-view event: Jake Shields attempts to unseat welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre in the headliner, Diaz meets young prospect Rory MacDonald on the Spike-TV-televised preliminary card, and Daniel Roberts tussles with Claude Patrick in a preliminary-card bout streamed live on Facebook.
Of course, the team will have a presence in Toronto with a few notable emissaries, including one you'd think might have an even tougher time at the border.
"Nick Diaz is heading out there, and that should be good – or bad, I don't know," joked Gracie, whose team has become one of the most prominent in MMA. "Gilbert Melendez is going out there too."
This past month, Nate Diaz drew speculation that he might not be able to fight at UFC 129 when he penned a Twitter message that hinted at border-crossing troubles.
"Can someone tell Canada to quit trippin and let me up in there I'm tryin to get paid," Diaz wrote.
Gracie subsequently told MMAjunkie.com that a disturbing-the-peace charge stemming from an altercation with a bouncer five years ago in Reno, Nev., prompted the UFC to request that Diaz fill out a declaration of his intent to travel into the country.
The welterweight is now all-systems-go for the fight with MacDonald.
Gracie, who is featured heavily on the "UFC Primetime" series profiling St-Pierre vs. Shields, did not say whether his situation mirrored the younger Diaz's issue but said his border-crossing problems had surfaced before.
"When my cousin Ralph (Gracie) fought there a long time ago, I got in a little issue," he said. "I was supposed to go up there, and we sent Nino Schembri instead because I couldn't get into the country."
So for now, it looks like the trainer's support will be moral.
For complete coverage of UFC 129, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

So I arrived in Ferrara about two weeks ago and have been slowly exploring the city. I'm living with 3 italian students – one from Sicily, one from Puglia and ove from Venice – in a wonderful but small house right in the center of the city. (i'm attaching a picture of the narrow street i live off of) The city is small for a "city" but is full of students and feels almost like a college town. There is a beautiful castle (complete with moat) and a brilliant white cathedral right in the center of the city. The piazza between the two is always full of people and very lively until 3 am most nights. Also, becuase Ferrara is relatively small (130,000 people) and doesn't have the fame of Rome, Venice or Florence there aren't as many tourists or English speakers. This makes for a much more beneficial environment in which to learn Italian and actually feel integrated into he community.
As far as the architecture program – the building is an old palace that was converted into this school. It has huge rooms and windows, and is a really inspiring space to be in. As far as work, I'm still really unsure about what courses I am taking as the responsability for selection is all on the shoulders of the Middlebury student. Italian students at the school have fixed courses for 4 of their 5 years, but middlebury students are essentially given the option of picking any available single class in the first 3 (or 5 if you ask reeeallly nicely) years. This is a really daunting task. Today i went to the first year design studio to see what it was like. It is actually composed of two classes, one traditional studio much like middlebury's intro or intermediate studio, and one geometry class. There seems to be a huge focus on geometry, partially to give a better understanding of early italian architecture (churches, monasteries etc.) and why certain shapes appear more often than others. We'll see how it unfolds.
Tomorrow i am going to go to a 2nd year studio as a point of comparison, and thursday i'm planning on going to an upper level urbanism class. The program seems structured to the point that it might be worth just starting at the beginning, so that as the second semester approaches (at least for students staying the year) you will be completely prepared. I think second semester of freshman year is very very CAD intensive and most upper lever classes depend on that – but i'll know more by the end of the week.
Middlebury also has a required language/literature class for all Middlebury students in Ferrara. So far it has been somewhat interesting as we are reading works about Ferrara or by authors who lived here. It is looking like it will be in conflict with whatever classes i take at the architecture school (because they meet from 9am until 6 or 8pm on some days) but all of the professors seem understanding – so i'll keep you posted about flexibility in scheduling as i learn more about arch classes.
I'm going to return to class picking.. drawing.. and italian poetry for the night, but i'll keep you updated as the week unfolds.

Organizations running a lot of Oracle gear and software could now get some management assistance from a software program that Oracle has made free for customers.
The newest version of the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, released Wednesday, is now available free for any organization with an Oracle Premier Support agreement, under a new initiative called the Ops Center Everywhere Program..
"This product no longer requires a stand-alone software license. It is now included in your support for your other Oracle products," said Steve Wilson, Oracle vice president of systems management.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12c also includes a number of updated capabilities for managing Oracle Solaris 11, and is also the first version to allow administrators to manage both x86- and Oracle SPARC-based servers from a single console--the first commercial product to offer this capability, according to Oracle.
With the release of this software, "Oracle is strengthening its management support for SPARC and X86 Oracle Solaris 11 systems while also advancing management support for Oracle hardware, virtualization and cloud environments," said Tim Grieser, analyst and program vice president covering enterprise system management for IDC.
In particular, software would help organizations maintain "complete stack management" for private clouds and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) deployments, Grieser said. "Other cloud tools focus only on the hypervisors," but Ops Center also includes tools to manage the Oracle networking and storage gear and software as well, Wilson said.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, part of the Oracle Enterprise Manager line of systems management software, is designed to help administrators manage IT infrastructure, offering the ability to control and configure servers, storage and networking equipment, operating systems and hypervisors. Organizations can manage all Oracle systems technologies from a single console, while eliminating, or at least minimizing, the need for third-party management software.
This version of the software accommodates the fresh features in the newest version of Solaris, released in November. Specifically, the new software allows administrators to use Solaris Image Packaging System (IPS), Automated Installer (AI) and Alternate Boot Environments across multiple servers. Instead of patching live Solaris deployments, administrators can apply a patch to the backup, test it, and then copy over the live version of the OS while it is still running. Ops Center also takes advantage of the new Solaris networking stack, which allow administrators, for instance, to specify how much bandwidth each virtual network interface can use.
The software package also comes with more controls for managing specific Oracle systems, such as Oracle's SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 and the Oracle Exadata Database Machine.

Editor's Note: Since January 1, 2010, we have been working on the Kent State Truth Tribunal, please go to www.TruthTribunal.org to learn more about our efforts to reveal the truth at Kent State in 2010. Thanks!
On May 4, 2009 I participated in the 39th Annual Kent State University Memorial and gave this talk:
My name is Laurie Krause. I am the sister of Allison Krause, the daughter of Arthur and Doris Krause.
I want to thank you for gathering together today. It's an honor to be here at Kent State University to participate. I'd also like to thank the student body and May 4th Task Force for inviting me.
I am here to honor people who follow their truths, to respect people who live their ideals, and to focus on the healing of Kent State and our community at large.
39 years ago today, my sister, Allison Krause, was murdered by the Ohio National Guard for protesting and demonstrating against the Vietnam War. Also killed were Jeffrey, Sandra and William, and nine other Kent State students were seriously injured. I'm pleased to see a number of the surviving protesters here today, thank you for being here.
Allison was a freshman at Kent State who was incredibly passionate about life. She was a peace-loving, confident, altruistic, honor-student wanting to get the most out of college, and she was also deeply in love with her boyfriend, Barry.
As my older sister, Allison was someone I looked up to. She was so creative. I still look up to her and continue to be inspired that the whole world may be changed by any real person, like you or me, walking forward with hope and living our ideals and truths.
Let me ask you, today, are you living your truth?
Allison vehemently disagreed with the US government and its involvement in Vietnam so she assembled with many others and protested on Friday, the first of May, not knowing that she was putting her life in jeopardy, yet feeling strongly that the actions committed by our government were wrong.
On that day, a group of 500 students assembled to protest the US invasion of Cambodia. Rallies were planned for Monday to continue protesting the expansion of the Vietnam War.
The Ohio National Guard was sent in on Saturday and Kent State became a war zone overnight. Students were tear gassed and wounded by bayonets during demonstrations taking place over the weekend.
The ROTC building was burned down in retaliation for the students being attacked for expressing their right to protest and assemble.
Press conferences held by Gov. Rhodes called protesters un-American. Rhodes declared a state of emergency, banned any further demonstrations and imposed martial law at Kent. Curfews were set. Students had to run from Guardsmen on campus late at night and Allison ran from them that night. Students couldn't return to their dorm rooms and were stuck wherever they could find shelter for the night.
Over the following days, the Kent State University campus ignited into one of our country's worst nightmares.
As tensions heightened over the weekend, Allison called home to my parents to let them know what was happening on campus. My father told Allison to be cautious; he even asked her to back down and not involve herself.
My parents, like most parents, were coming from a place of love for their daughter. They wanted her to be safe.
But Allison was aware of the risks involved. Still, she never considered not protesting against something she was incredibly passionate about. The Vietnam War had just taken a turn for the worse, it was a time when hope for peace was fading.
To Allison, it was an obligation to show dissension to the government invading Cambodia. She made her decision, and we all know the outcome.
That Monday, despite school officials attempting to ban the demonstration by sending out leaflets, more than 2,000 people arrived to protest the government's actions.
The dispel process began that morning with leaders telling student protestors to go home or be arrested. Students responded to these infringements of rights by throwing rocks. Wearing gas masks, the National Guard used tear gas to exert control over the growing crowds.
After some time with a lot of maneuvering Guardsmen turned in unison and took aim.
The shooting lasted 13 seconds.
Dumdum bullets were used – a type of bullet that's illegal in warfare – and explodes on impact.
My sister died in Barry's arms.
Allison's death symbolizes the importance of our right to protest and speak our truths freely.
The day after the shooting, my father Arthur Krause spoke on television, telling the public how Allison's death shall not be in vain.
Afterwards, my parents followed their truth through the legal system and in the courts over the next nine years. They sought the truth about Kent State and the reason for the murder of their daughter … going all the way to the US Supreme Court. Their final appeal was settled and the federal government issued a statement of regret.
It's no secret that my family holds Nixon, Rhodes and the State of Ohio responsible.
Also, with the recently re-discovered audio tape, proof of an order to shoot has been found.
We now know that our government intentionally committed this deadly act against the youth of 1970, calling them 'bums' as they protested the Cambodian Invasion.
Triggers were not pulled accidentally at Kent State. What happened was malicious, what happened was irresponsible, what happened was evil.
The shooting was at best, without any forethought, and at worst, with total forethought. Firing on a group of unarmed students, who were simply exercising their First Amendment rights to express dissent with their government was a crime.
What do we do with an order to shoot? What can you do when the government gives permission to use ultimate force, to use deadly force, against its dissenters?
It was the government's goal to make a defining statement and shut down student protest across the country that day…and they did…for years!
There is no such thing as a true democracy when this happens.
The local, state and federal governments never accepted responsibility for the murder of Allison, Jeffrey, Sandra and William and the injuries sustained by nine others that occurred 39 years ago today.
The people injured in the protests are reminded of it everyday.
The Kent State shooting has changed all of our lives forever, both on the inside and the outside. My family lost its eldest child and were robbed from seeing her blossom in her life past 19 years. I lost my only sister and I miss her each day.
Looking back, did the Kent State protest and killings make a difference?
Well, there was a huge response by Americans.
The Kent State shooting single-handedly created the only nationwide student strike with over 8 million students from high schools to universities speaking out and holding rallies afterward.
And Jackson State also culminated in murderous acts in a similar quest to silence student protest.
We became a nation at war with itself.
But how did we let it get that far? How did this happen?
People will never forget that day at Kent State. Today marks an event that still hits deep for so many of us.
People who were directly involved, people who believe in the Bill of Rights and the freedom to disagree with the government, people who continue to share a vision of harmony and peace for all. We're all active participants; we are all involved in what happened.
Today is about remembrance, honor, respect and a focal point for a change in the way we handle dissension with governmental actions.
What have we learned? What can we take away from this horrible event?
For starters, we must each take responsibility for what happened so we may learn from the past, to learn from our mistakes.
First, I'm interested in learning more about the re-discovered audio recording from a student's window ledge during the actual shooting. With new recording and audio technologies, we have revealed that 'order to shoot.'
The order to shoot has always been a concern. In fact, each and every governmental or military official throughout the legal battle has stated under oath that there was never an order to shoot.
However, I do not accept their words and I ultimately believe they perjured themselves. There is no way the National Guard could march uphill away from the crowd – to turn in unison after reaching the top, and to shoot into the crowd – without premeditated forethought. Their bullets murdered students from over a football field away. There is no way this could ever be accomplished without an order to shoot. (Click to hear tape.)
Now with this re-discovered tape recording, we finally have proof that an order to shoot was given.
With this tape, it is very much my belief that until the truth is brought to light here, the Kent State Killings will continue to remain an ugly, unknown, unaccounted-for wound.
Case in point, just a little over a week ago Kent State students had another brush with aggressive police action during College Fest, a block party where 60 people were arrested and rubber bullets were shot into the crowd for 'crowd control.'
People were shot for no reason, arrested for not disbanding, and fires started in the streets.
At an event with no political subtext, we can see how much kindling there already is, waiting for a spark to ignite an explosion of extreme violence. It's still there!
We're still seeing the same tension of the Kent State shooting that happened 39 years ago, today. The cause and effect is still active here at Kent State.
Unless we heal these wounds, they shall continue festering.
Instead of focusing on our differences, let's focus on what brings us together.
Right now, at this point in time, it is critically important that we work together in harmony to benefit all.
We can't perpetuate this us/them polarization of constant reaction to what's happening around us anymore. I mean, how's that working for us? Is that working?
So, how do you heal a community, a nation? Or should I ask, how do we heal ourselves?
Each day as we live our truths, our intentions capture a healing, beautiful, peaceful essence for positive change.
Despite harsh criticism by local residents, even by her own president, Allison and others continued on.
Allison believed in making a difference. Being anti-war and pro-peace and harmony, she was called to action. Although it was not her clear intention, Allison spoke, participated in and died for what she believed in.
The spirit of Allison asks "What are we but what we stand for?"
Don't hope for a new tomorrow, live it today and live your truth each day. We all make a difference by speaking our truths against all odds.
Through-out my life I looked to my big sister for inspiration. Allison taught me the importance of living a life of intention and truth and I am now consciously and busily speaking my truths.
That is Allison's message and it not just for me.
I want to close the speech by sharing with you how I have the spirit of Allison in my life as I live on the Northern California coast.
A few years ago under the Bush Administration, a major utility company and the federal government wanted to begin exploring wave energy renewable energy technologies in the Pacific Ocean near where I live.
As it progressed, the administration was very gung-ho on exploring wave technologies with a mentality of 'throwing technology into the ocean and let's see what happens!'
In March 2008, I marched for the Mendocino Wave Energy Moratorium, to be a voice for protecting the marine environment, to slow it down for proper environmental research to be conducted and to involve the community in this project.
In 2007 I also began publishing a blog called MendoCoastCurrent. I did this as my personal, political act and operate as the Wave Energy Blogger and an environmental activist now.
Allison showed me that it is my responsibility to live and speak my truth. If I do not agree with what's happening, it is my right to protest, assemble and voice my concerns.
Since then I've encountered quite a few unforeseen obstacles and hostile harassment, yet I still believe that even in the face of opposing forces and arrest, I must fight my good fight…and keep on, keeping on! Allison whispers this in my ear.
Let's stand up for what is right and best for all. We must protest against injustices and use our voices to speak out when we disagree with what's happening.
On the Mendocino coast as all looked lost regarding the negative effects of wave energy with mounting environmental concerns regarding this nascent technology in our ocean, President Obama was inaugurated.
Obama and his administration bring us so much good news. They are approaching renewable energy technology from an environmentally-safe perspective along with incorporating community aims and input now. And that massive utility company is following suit.
Environmental concerns in creating safe renewable energy in my community may now be possible!
And I feel Allison smiling!
We must still remain ever vigilant yet I've found a great deal of hope and comfort in what I've seen these past one hundred days of Obama.
I'm hopeful that we may become more conscious of our use of our precious resources, in using and generating our electricity and in fueling our vehicles.
I'm hopeful that the truth about Kent State will someday be known.
As we learn to speak our truth, even in the face of danger and opposition, we bring change and harmony.
So I ask you…and I ask you for Allison as well…how are you speaking your truth today?
