The BBC's David Ornstein has confirmed that Lille's Nicolas Pepe is in Arsenal ahead of the player's move to Arsenal.
It's a transfer which could be completed within the next 24 hours when just a week ago, it would have seemed impossible.
On the weekend, Arsenal agreed on a deal with Lille to sign their 24-year-old forward Nicolas Pepe in a club-record transfer.
Now, it looks as if the move is ready to take its final steps towards completion after the final agreement was reached.
The BBC's David Ornstein has confirmed that Pepe has arrived in London ahead of his Arsenal medical and the finalisation of the deal.
Arsenal are on course to confirm the €80m club-record signing of Ivory Coast international Nicolas Pepe from Lille later this week. The 24-year-old winger/forward has arrived in London & will undergo a medical today before signing a five-year contract at the Emirates #AFC #LOSC
— David Ornstein (@bbcsport_david) July 30, 2019
From there, all that's remaining is the signing of the contracts and the official confirmation of the deal.
It looks like Nicolas Pepe will be an Arsenal player before the end of the week. Just five days ago, that would have seemed impossible but the Gunners have moved quietly and effectively to get their man. Pepe will add a lot to this Arsenal team and his arrival represents a big moment for the club.

Senate Dems, GOP clash over need for new gun curbs
WASHINGTON (AP) — The toll of gun violence and the widespread disgust it has generated makes it time for new federal gun curbs that balance public safety with gun rights, Democrats said Tuesday at the Senate's latest hearing on restricting firearms.
Republicans said today's unenforced gun laws give criminals no reason to fear ignoring them. And they warned that the Constitution's right to bear arms must be protected, even after unspeakable events like the December slaughter of 20 first-graders in Connecticut.
Each side trotted out their own legal experts, statistics and even relatives of people slain by gun-wielding assailants. In the end there was little partisan agreement, though Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said cooperation was possible on stopping straw purchases, in which someone legally buys a gun for a criminal or a person barred from owning one.
As always with guns, emotion and the issue's personal impact colored the day's session.
The crowded hearing room was filled with people from gun control groups and according to Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., included relatives of some killed in the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shootings. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee holding the hearing, asked friends and families of gun victims to stand, and dozens rose.
"We know that we have to act," Durbin said.
At another point, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., began his questioning of the panel's first witness, Timothy J. Heaphy, the U.S. attorney for the western district of Virginia and an appointee of President Barack Obama, with one question: "Do you own a gun?"
"No," responded Heaphy, who said, "I do not feel comfortable having a gun in our home" because he has children.
One witness, Suzanna Gratia Hupp, told the senators of being in a cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, in 1991 when a gunman smashed his truck through the front window and fatally shot 23 people, including her parents. Hupp says she left her gun in her car because Texas law barred her from bringing it into the restaurant.
"I don't view myself as a victim of gun violence," said Hupp, now a Texas state official and gun rights advocate. "I view myself as a victim of a maniac who happened to use a gun as a tool. And I view myself as the victim of the legislators we had at the time who left me defenseless."
Taking the opposing view was Sandra J. Wortham, whose brother, Chicago police officer Thomas E. Wortham IV, was fatally shot outside their parents' home by robbers in 2010, though he and his father, a retired police sergeant, fired back.
"The fact that they were armed that night didn't prevent Thomas' murder," said Wortham, now a Chicago police official.
The hearing came just hours before Obama was to deliver his annual State of the Union address, in which he was expected to repeat his call for gun curbs.
Obama has proposed banning assault weapons and ammunition magazines that can carry more than 10 rounds, and wants background checks for all firearms purchases. Currently, the checks are required only for sales by federally licensed gun dealers, omitting the many transactions at gun shows and between individuals.
Democrats have been more receptive to Obama's proposals than Republicans, most of whom — along with the National Rifle Association — have opposed them.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who plans to write gun legislation soon, called for expanded background checks and cracking down on straw purchases, but said nothing about banning assault weapons or high capacity magazines. In a written statement, he suggested that the First Amendment would limit government attempts to reduce violence in popular culture and said the entertainment industry should be "a responsible leader in this area."
Cruz, top Republican on the panel, expressed sympathy for gun victims but said constitutional rights must be protected "not just when they're popular, but especially when passions are seeking to restrict and limit those rights."
In the battle of statistics, Cruz said that of the six cities with the nation's highest murder rates, five — Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Chicago — have tough anti-gun laws. Only Memphis, Tenn., has less vigorous firearms controls, he said.
Responding to Cruz, Heaphy, the U.S. attorney, said there are too many factors that influence crime to conclude that strict gun measures don't work.
Graham said that of 80,000 federal background checks for gun purchases turned down annually by the FBI, barely any result in prosecutions. He said the odds of being prosecuted for lying on a background check are "probably a whole lot less than being struck by lightning or hit by a meteor."
Democrats cited the 11,000 Americans killed annually by gunfire.
Daniel W. Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, which favors tighter gun control laws, said that 2004 data showed that nearly 8 in 10 prisoners who committed gun-related crimes got firearms from unlicensed private sellers, whose transactions do not require background checks. That, he said, underscored the need to expand those checks to all sales.
Laurence H. Tribe, a liberal Harvard Law School professor, said that 2008 and 2010 Supreme Court rulings made it clear that sweeping proposals to flatly take guns away from citizens "have been decisively taken off the table." Banning assault weapons and other especially lethal firearms would not violate the Second Amendment's right to bear arms, he said.
But conservative attorney Charles J. Cooper, who has long defended gun rights and represented the NRA, said the court's rulings ensure that bearing arms "is not to be treated as a second-class right, or singled out for special or unfavorable treatment."

How Bank Customers Are Changing the Game for Banks
According to Ernst & Young's 2012 global consumer banking survey, retail bank customers are taking control of their banking relationship more than ever before. The study, which questioned 28,560 banking customers across 35 countries, highlights how customers expect to be financially rewarded for their loyalty. According to the survey, the percentage of customers planning to change their banks has almost doubled in the past year, while 91 percent of consumers expect to receive financial rewards if they do remain loyal to their banks. Here are some additional findings from the report.
Confidence Remains Low
More than half of the U.S. respondents to the study indicated their confidence in the banking industry has waned in the past 12 months. Confidence levels fell in all European countries from last year, particularly the countries heavily impacted by the financial crisis.

Al-Andalus, Muslim Spain, 756-1492
A single member of the Umayyad family, Abd al-Rahman, managed to escape the bloody conflict that ensued after the Abbasids seized power. He fled to Spain, the Islamic empire's westernmost province, which the Muslims called al-Andalus. This is where he established the Spanish Umayyad Emirate in 756, with its capital in Cordoba. The city soon grew into western Europe's largest, with more than 500,000 inhabitants. It became a center of Islamic culture, and its schools and libraries attracted Muslim, Christian, and Jewish intellectuals. The Spanish Umayyads reached their political and cultural culmination in the 10th century, when Abd al-Rahman III (912-961) assumed the titles of caliph and "Prince of the Believers" to show that the realm was autonomous in relation to the Abbasids and Fatimids. Art was an important tool in emphasizing the caliph's status, and a great many resources went into creating refined works of art, frequently with naturalistic depictions of plants, animals, and people. Abd al-Rahman III's palace-city outside Cordoba, Madinat al-Zahra, set a new standard with its wealth of carved marble, and the mosque in Cordoba was expanded and embellished with palace-like magnificence.
At the beginning of the 11th century, the caliphate of the Spanish Umayyads was dissolved into many little states, called the Taifa kingdoms, which fought one another and also came under increasing pressure from the minor Christian kingdoms that had survived in northern Spain. An appeal for help from abroad led to the North African Almoravids and later the Almohads seizing power. At the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, the Almohads were decisively defeated by the combined forces of the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile. The Iberian Peninsula then fell into Christian hands, apart from a small region in the southeast, where the Nasrids were able to hold their own for a few more centuries.
The Nasrid Sultanate was founded in 1232 in the mountainous area around Granada, Malaga, and Almeria. The realm was under constant pressure, and from 1243 was obliged to pay tribute to the Christian kingdom of Castile and Leon. Many expelled Muslims sought refuge with the Nasrids, whose capital of Granada, in particular, developed into the last flourishing stronghold of Islamic culture in Spain, financed among other things by silk manufacture. A unique complex of palaces, watercourses, and gardens was created in the sultans' palace-city, the Alhambra, which was surrendered intact when the sultanate fell in 1492.
Muslim culture survived on the Iberian Peninsula through Muslim craftsmen, whose production of inlaid woodwork, polychrome tiles, and luster-decorated ceramics remained in demand among the Christian ruling elite.

Viewer Mail
And thank you for everyone who has sent us a card or letter from your town. Wow - we've gotten about 160 now! We appreciate all the time you've taken to look up information about your towns, and we are loving all the pictures of your landmarks and families! Besides the U.S, we've now gotten letters from England, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Guam, Puerto Rico, Germany, France, Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, and Sweden! Thank you so much for taking the time to send this information to us! I wish I had the time to share all of these with you because they're very cool! Here are a couple pictures though...
Here's the mail. It never fails. It makes me want to wag my tail. When it comes, I want to wail, "MAAAAIIIILLLL!" (Sorry, I just had a Blue's Clues moment. I know, I know, it's sad. But on the bright side, I wasn't singing, "There's a party in my tummy, so yummy, so yummy!")
This isn't even all the postcards. There were several postcards and other pictures included with the letters.
Check out this postcard! It's from a reader named Shirley. Both sides of this card are printed on fabric and it's edged with thread. How cool! Do you make and sell these cards, Shirley?

All the snow blocks are out on the streets of the city, slowly being turned into amazing snow sculptures all over the place! I can't wait to get out there and take photos for you guys! The actual Festival isn't until February, but Austin won't know what to do with all the photos I send him lol. Maybe I'll have to email the bulk of the photos, and just mail the post card and letter. Dunno, but I want to get dog sled races and log sawing races and stuff in there.

Just a few things if I may.....
TOMORROW-THURSDAY, wear yellow for Julian.
I apologize for not sending mail from my town. It's Joliet, nothing exciting going on here. I often refer to it as the armpit of the world. I suppose Austin could quote me on that in his project.
And finally, to the reader complaining about the Blues Clues song stuck in her head....it could be worse, ever hear Hero Guy from Sesame Street or maybe The Song that Never Ends from Shari and Lambchop? Just start singing something less annoying and then Blues Clues will go away.

Yeehaw! Mine made it.
I was reading the other reader comments. See, I knew i wasn't the only one that would send a leftover Christmas card, hee, hee.
Keep up the good work. Love the blog.
About Julian - thank you for introducing me to the Avery family. I cried over the loss of King Julian. God bless his family. I keep the verse the Mimi put on one of the updates in my purse:
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
He is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my might rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out our hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 62: 5-8
God bless the Avery family.

TM, try Walgreens for the postcard from Clayton. I live in Manteca and I'm waiting to get there so I can send a postcard from Manteca, CA. As far as I know Walgreens is the only place that sells them, or you might try your chamber of commerce! We also have a winery in town so I could get one there as well, but I don't think it would be too cool to advocate a winery to children! hee hee
My granddaughter use to sing the mail song all day long and just seeing the words has made me sing it all day as well. Thanks Dawn!
I wish I had your attitude when my three boys were growing up. Like so many moms I was always worried about the messes, if only I could have those messes back. I can't tell you how many times they say "You would never let me do that" when I let one of their kids do something messy or a little overboard! I guess I've learned to "chill" a little over the years! You are so amazing and your kids will grow up so well adjusted! Diane

My heart broke a little bit more each day I read the updatess on "Julian's World".
I did not think I could feel anymore grief or heartache than the day I read about Ju Ju's passing. I felt as if I had lost someone so very close to me.
Now, I am reading about the inconsolable pain Mimi's is going through. There are no spoken words to comfort her...my heart is breaking some more.....
This family has touched me in more ways than I can express.
I humbly pray to God to help the Averys in every way he can to heal.
I ask Him also to let Mimi feel my arms around her, my thoughts of comfort and my love.
Mimi ~ I will be sending you my love & hugs Thursday

I heard a joke today and thought of you. Have a good one! I hope to pick up a postcard to send tonight from Vancouver, BC.
After an overnight flight to meet my father at his latest military assignment, my mother wearily arrived at Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany with my eight siblings and me - all under age 11. Collecting our many suitcases, the 10 of us entered the cramped customs area.
A young customs official watched our entourage in disbelief. "Ma'am," he said, "do all these children and this luggage belong to you?"
"Yes, sir," my mother said with a sigh. "They're all mine."
The customs agent began his interrogation: "Ma'am, do you have any weapons, contraband or illegal drugs in your possession?"
"Sir," she calmly answered, "if I'd had any of those items, I would have used them by now."
The official allowed us to pass without opening a single suitcase.

Just two hours before Julian, my father-in-law passed away. He was a very special granddaddy to my young children and an inspiration to my husband. It makes me smile to know that he and Julian are having a party together in Heaven with Jesus. Can't wait to see my father-in-law again someday, and maybe I'll get to meet this special little boy too.

Hi Dawn,
I saw my postcard (black and white cows under a blue skye with could in a typical duthc landscape)between the others so it arrived in good order.
However since this a schoolproject I have to tell you We are not on the right spot on the Map.
My home town is Zwolle, not Capelle aan den IJssel.
Our IJssel is the large sidearom of the river Rhine.
Of course I can live with us not being on the exact right spot. I know it can be hard to find it.

Is a rebuild kit right for me? : We get this question quite frequently and there is no definitive answer. Rebuilding a power steering pump or rack is only a matter of disassembly and seal replacement. If you are comfortable with standard hand tools, enjoy working on your own car and want to save a few dollars by doing the rebuild yourself then Yes. You have come to the right place.
What is in the kit? : The kits include every seal, o-ring and internal wear component inside your power steering rack or pump. This is the same kit the "rebuilders" use when they make an old power steering rack or pump new again.
How are the kits shipped? : We use Priority Mail service from the United States Postal Service. Most kits fit inside a small "flat rate" envelope and this saves you on the shipping costs.
When will my kit ship after I order it? : Some kits are built to order and other high volume kits are on the shelf and ready to go. As a rule of thumb your kit should ship anywhere from 1-5 days after you order it.
Do you ship out of the United States? : Yes. We use Global Priority Mail from the United States Postal Service. Global packages arrive within 1 to 2 weeks after they ship from us. The delay in arrival depends on how long the package is held in customs before it is cleared for delivery in the destination country.
Do you offer support for the installations? : This is a tough one and I wish we could say that we do. With so many variations of pumps and racks we cannot trouble shoot every installation question. If you just remember to mark the orientation and replace all the seals during disassembly you should have no problems. A few common questions are listed in our FAQ section that may help you out.
Can I order over the phone? : Yes. If you are not comfortable ordering online or are having difficulties please feel free to give our sales office a call at 352-466-0219 .

The Twitter account of a neo-Nazi group has been blocked in Germany in response to a request from authorities in that country. It is the first case of Twitter blocking an account in just one country, nine months after the company announced the ability to withhold content in specific countries while keeping it available to the rest of the world.
The @hannoverticker account is used by a group called Besseres Hannover, "which Lower Saxony's state government banned last month on the ground that it was promoting Nazi ideals in an attempt to undermine German's democracy," the Associated Press reported today. Lower Saxony officials asked Twitter in a letter to "close this account immediately and not to open any substitute accounts for the organization Besseres Hannover." The name means "Better Hannover."
Twitter enabled nation-specific blocking to comply with the rules of specific countries without being forced to censor content worldwide. That the first instance of blocking was related to neo-Nazi content is not surprising. In Twitter's January announcement, it noted that some countries, "for historical or cultural reasons, restrict certain types of content, such as France or Germany, which ban pro-Nazi content."
As of today, the @hannoverticker account shows just one tweet in the past few weeks. The account's activity died down starting Sept. 25, when it linked to an article describing a police raid of facilities used by Besseres Hannover, "which is banned as of today as a criminal organization."
Twitter has long resisted censorship, although it invited criticism (and was forced to apologize) in a recent case when it suspended the account of a critic of NBC's Olympics coverage. In instances of country-specific blocking, Twitter said it would maintain transparency by making it clear when an account has been blocked rather than wiping all traces of it off the site. As such, German users who try to access the Besseres Hannover account should see a notice like the one at the top of this story.

Te'o says 'biggest lie' was one he told his dad
- In appearance on %27Katie%27%2C Te%27o says he%27s most sorry for lying to father about actually meeting Kekua
- Former Notre Dame linebacker denies rumors he%27s gay%3B %22Far from it%22
- Interview with Couric was first on-camera since story of girlfriend hoax came out Jan. 16
Manti Te'o told Katie Couric the most egregious falsehood the Notre Dame All-American linebacker told regarding a now-infamous hoax involving a fake girlfriend was something he said to his father.
"The biggest lie I'm sorry for is the lie that I told my dad,'' Te'o said Thursday during his first televised interview since the Lennay Kekua scandal broke. "He asked me, 'Did you see her?' I said, 'No. ... I mean, yes.' As a child, your biggest thing is to get approval of your parents.''
But, he added, he was "invested in Lennay.''
Later, Couric asked the former Irish star if a popular rumor that he might be gay was true.
"No, far from it'' he quickly replied before laughing. "Far from it. Faaaarrrr from it.''
Te'o insisted he never lied to anyone about his non-existent girlfriend, even after he found out the entire ordeal was a ruse.
"I wasn't as forthcoming, but I didn't lie,'' he said. "I never was asked, 'Did you see her in person?' ''
The Heisman Trophy finalist discussed Kekua with various media Dec. 8 and Dec. 10. The Heisman ceremony was Dec. 8 in New York. Te'o finished second.
Couric pressed Te'o on why, after he said he received a call Dec. 6 from the person he thought was Kekua saying she was still alive, he perpetuated the story.
Said Couric: "You stuck to the script. You knew something was amiss.
"Correct," Te'o said.
"Part of me was saying if you say she's alive, what will everybody think? What are you going to tell everybody who followed you, who you inspired?
"As a 21-year-old I wasn't ready for that. I didn't even tell my parents. I'm the only one who knew, me ... I didn't know who to trust. I was scared."
TE'O TO COURIC:Says what he went through was real
Te'o said he later asked the person he believed to be Kekua to send him a photo to his phone. She did. A copy of the image appeared on the show.
"On Dec. 21, 2012, I get that picture … When this happened, I said, 'OK, she's alive.' Now what do I do? That's when I came home and told mom and dad.
Teo's parents, Brian and Ottilia Te'o, also appeared on Couric's show.
"It was a difficult conversation," Ottilia Te'o said of the day when her son told them of what had happened. "It took him a while to say it. He basically said, Lennay's alive. It was complete, utter shock. The reason I say that is because the belief in this person, the deception, wasn't only with Manti ... We followed the same pattern as Manti."
Asked how it felt for her son to be called a liar, Ottilia teared up.
"It hurts," she said. "That's my child. He always puts others before himself. He did what a responsible respectable man should do … I am proud of his character. It just hurts to see his picture and his name being displayed as someone dishonest."
Said Brian Te'o as he, too, became emotional: If they're saying Manti lied about something, they might as well say we lied about it today ... The story was reality for us. ... I'm proud of this guy, I really am (tears up)."
By this time, Brian, Ottilia and Manti were all crying.
"He's a 21-year-old kid trying to be a man," Brian said. "And I love him. I really do."
Speaking of lessons he has learned from all this, Manti Te'o said, "From August to November, you have a lot of people cheering for you. 'Dude, you are so great.' Now, you see who is in your corner, who actually loves you."
Then, looking at his parents, he said, "Kids, listen to mom and dad.''
Deadspin.com first reported the hoax Jan. 16, when it released a long and detailed account of how Te'o had fallen victim to a "catfishing" scheme created by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, an acquaintance of Te'o's and a pastor at a California church.
While Deadspin quoted a friend of Tuiasosopo's as saying he was "80% sure" that Te'o was "in on it," and that "the two perpetrated Kekua's death with publicity in mind," Te'o and his family have adamantly denied any involvement in or knowledge of the hoax.
In an off-camera interview with ESPN's Jeremy Schaap on Jan. 18, Te'o said he had no inkling his relationship with Kekua was a sham until Dec. 6, when Kekua called him to say that she was not dead. These calls persisted over the following weeks, Notre Dame athletics director Jack Swarbrick said at a press conference Jan. 17.
Even then, Te'o said, he was not convinced Kekua didn't exist until Jan. 16, when Tuiasosopo called him to confess and apologize.
On Couric's show Thursday, Te'o said Tuiasosopo tried to explain himself.
"He didn't say why, he just explained he wanted to help people." Te'o said of the conversation. "It was his way of helping people."
Couric asked Te'o what he said in return.
"Obviously it didn't really help me out," Te'o said.." I really didn't say anything.. I was still speechless. What I believed to be my reality wasn't reality at all."
Notre Dame first learned of the hoax Dec. 26, when Te'o called coach Brian Kelly and defensive coordinator Bob Diaco and informed them of the calls he had been receiving from Kekua over the previous 20 days.
Kelly and Diaco then told Swarbrick, who met with Te'o on Dec. 27 and Te'o's parents a day later.
In earlier excerpts released by Katie, Te'o acknowledged he briefly lied about the nature of his relationship with Kekua in the days following the initial phone call Dec. 6. Te'o mentioned Kekua two days later, when he was in Manhattan for the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
"Now I get a phone call on Dec. 6, saying that she's alive and then I'm going be put on national TV two days later," Te'o told Couric. "And to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?"
The pain he felt when he learned Kekua had died Sept. 12 was all real, Te'o said to Couric. "What I went through was real. The feelings, the pain, the sorrow. That was all real," Te'o said.
He was asked his thoughts about his future as a professional player. Since the interview was taped earlier this week, Te'o has resumed workouts in preparation for the NFL draft in April.
"That I don't know," he said. "To be honest with you, as long as (his parents) are OK, whatever happens happens. As far as my draft status, I hope and pray good happens."

PayPal's New App Adds New Payment Options and Shopping Features
PayPal launched it's new mobile pap for iPhone and Android that will allow customers to pay in-store with any of their credit cards, bank accounts or with their PayPal account, Hill Ferguson, the company's vice president of global product, wrote yesterday on PayPal's blog.
The app packs a number of new shopping features, which Ferguson said will make it easier to pay with mobile devices in-store. When app users click on the "shop" tab they will be able to locate stores and restaurants nearby that accept PayPal payments, Ferguson wrote. When customers go to one of these locations they can check in and open a tab with a swipe, Ferguson noted, and can choose from any of their payment options. Purchase receipts will be sent to the customer's email.
[See Related: The Mobile Wallets Race: Placing Multiple Bets]
Additionally customers will be able to bypass the line at a cafe or restaurant by ordering as soon as they check in with the app. PayPal has already partnered with the Eat24 online delivery restaurant delivery service to enable customers to purchase their order ahead of time this way, Ferguson said.
The app also includes merchant offers; each new customer will receive $100 in offers in the app from local businesses, Ferguson wrote. Customers will also be able to open a line of credit with the Bill Me Later option in the app when purchasing, and participating retailers will offer flexible financing options on larger purchases, he added.

Watch These Wedding Bouquet Tosses Go Awry — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5020646"]
It might seem like a simple procedure, but the traditional bouquet toss at a wedding can create quite a bit of mayhem: fire, wrestling matches, multiple-bridesmaid pile-ups, you name it.
It's surprising how durable this particular wedding ritual has proved. The idea that the woman who catches the bouquet will be the next to get married, well, that just doesn't seem like the kind of custom that's built to last in the 21st century. But even when it is inevitably retired, we'll always have these marvelously memorable moments to look back on.
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.

HP last night posted a (rather boring) five-minute video (even the interviewer seems to forget where she is at some points) giving further details about the HP Slate that Steve Ballmer showed off during his keynote at CES 2010. It was first posted on the hpcomputers YouTube channel with the heading "SPECIAL REPORT! The HP Slate." The interviewee is CTO Phil McKinney, who we've seen showing prototypes of HP touch devices before. We've watched the video so that you don't have to (despite its lacking presentation, the details are interesting), but in case you're interested, we've also embedded it below:
The project started five years ago at HP Labs in the UK, germinated by the concept of an e-reader device. HP took its prototypes and put it in the hands of users to get feedback from them. The biggest feedback users gave was that reading was great but they wanted it to do media as well, according to McKinney. As such, HP now believes that consumers are looking for a device that can be used as their "ultimate content consumption experience," McKinney says. It has to be thin and light, somewhere between 4 to 10 inches, and essentially invade the market that is currently dominated by e-readers from Sony and Amazon. Those devices don't have color though, nor can you play back videos, or browse the Internet on them, but McKinney says users want all that in addition to being able to read magazines and books, and that's the problem the slate platform will solve.
When asked, "why now?," McKinney answers that 2010 is "the optimal year for the slate platforms" because now there's "the perfect storm of innovation." There's a convergence of low-cost and low-power processors as well as the touch-aware Windows 7, and that's what will let HP push the slate platform.
"In reality we could have built this device two years ago. We had it ready; we put it on the shelf," McKinney boasts. "[At] that time for us to deliver the device it would have been $1,500, and [it] would have been outrageously expensive. Our target was to get it down to be a mainstream price point, mainstream product, not a niche offering."
So to sum up: you'll be able to get it some time in 2010, it will cost you less than $1,500, and it will run Windows 7.

What Does Home Insurance Cover?
Home insurance can protect you in three main ways:
Dwelling coverage helps pays for damage to the structure itself caused by sudden, accidental events like fire, wind, lightning, falling objects and vandalism. This is the coverage most homeowners think of first when selecting insurance.
Contents coverage is just that — it covers what's inside your home. I'm talkling about everything from furniture and electronics to pots and pans. If these items are lost or destroyed by a covered event, your policy can help pay to replace them.
The third component of your home policy is liability coverage. It helps protect you from loss in case you're financially responsible for injury to others or damage to their property. This coverage extends beyond your home and in fact follows you anywhere in the world.

Today's guest post is brought to you by Black Hockey Jesus. No relation to that other guy named Jesus. I think. Maybe be nice to him in the comments, just in case.
I get a lot of email that says stuff like "You're an arrogant jerk. Who do you think you are?".
I also get a lot of email that says stuff like "You're insane. How do you think up all the crazy shit you write about?" or "You're stoned. How do you think up all the crazy shit you write about?". Well guess what? I'm not insane or stoned. I just write like a woman.
I said I'm not insane. Or stoned.
You probably think I've written myself into a corner, that there's no way out of this mess without saying something stupid and pissing off every woman on the internet. You're probably right. And why the hell did I pick my guest post for Her Badness Catherine Connors to start making brash generalizations about the way women write? I don't know.
I swear these ideas they just come to me.
Seriously. They do. And when I say I write like a woman, I'm signifying the archetypal sexual experience of the woman. What? I'm talking about the fundamental fact of the way the vagina receives the penis. She is the vessel. She is that soulful place that receives the man. Now I want to use this purely biological model of sex as a means to explore the way I write (Read: Let's bypass the part where you attack me because I'm trying to perpetuate the oppression of women via passive representations of those wondrously curvy beings. It's a blog. Not a scholarly journal. A little slack?).
A lot of books and blogs are by people who think too much. All cock & no pussy. They just tell us straight out what they think like a guy skipping foreplay. Then they actually tell us what we're supposed to think like a drunken stepdad. Hey. Back off the prose, macho man. You can't just rushity rush right into it. You gotta chill out. Slow down. Spread your legs. And let it come.
Your job isn't to think up a bunch of cool things with your brilliant mind that you write down to make people laugh and/or think. Residues of the Patriarchy, tough guy. No. Your job is to stare at the moon, let yourself empty out and drop away—prepare the ground for what will come.
And then let it come.
Your best ideas are your craziest ideas that the Man in you thinks are dumb or stupid. He tries to throw them out and write things that are clear and reasonable. Fuck that guy. Write like a woman! Let's do it now. I'm going sit here at my desk until something comes along that I don't consciously think of…
Look. It's a little girl in a green dress with a bunch of droopy yellow flowers.
BLACK HOCKEY JESUS: What do you want little girl?
LITTLE GIRL IN A GREEN DRESS WITH A BUNCH OF DROOPY YELLOW FLOWERS: I want my Mommy.
BHJ: Well where is your Mommy little girl?
LGIAGDWABODF: She is saying a prayer to the dark through a mist of dust and regret.
BHJ: Well you're a trippy little girl aren't you? You remind me of Arthur Rimbaud. Run along now.
You see? I had nothing to do with creating that little girl. I didn't invent her or make her up or think of her. I was merely the passive receiver wherein she arose and said some trippy shit. She was kinda spooky too. I didn't choose her dress color or the flowers. They just appeared to me. You see how easy it is? You were just trying too hard. It has nothing to do with you. You are surrounded, right now, by more things than you could ever dream of writing. Let them in. Write like a woman. And if you're a guy, other guys will probably call you a pussy. Because you are! You are a pussy. But this is the 21st Century. It's OK to be a pussy.

How your right to know about government decisions and public money is under attack
You may not have heard of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, but for the last decade it has radically altered the way the public find out information about how government runs – and how public money is spent.
Media organisations like ours have used the act to ask questions of local authorities, central government, the police, the NHS and many other public bodies. Many stories and investigations you have seen in your local paper and news website would not have been told if the act had not been passed.
Now, the government has appointed a commission to consider how the act works. It has appointed people like former Home Secretary Jack Straw, a critic of the act, to be part of it. The commission may recommend authorities charge for Freedom of Information requests and charge fees for appeals when someone disagrees with a ruling by the Information Commissioner. It may also consider restrictions to the act – limiting the types of question which can be asked – and guaranteed an answer – by journalists and members of the public.
Johnston Press, our publishers, and many other media organisations across the UK have deep concerns over the commission's remit and membership. As the commission considers evidence, we will be publishing a series of articles on FOI and its importance to you. Here is the first piece by Maurice Frankel, director of the Campaign for Freedom of Information. The campaign is an independent organisation which,. Over the past 430 years, fought for the introduction of the act and has sought to defend and improve it since 2005. www.cfoi.org.uk

How curbing Freedom of Information will make life easier for politicians who conceal the truth
By Maurice Frankel, director of the Campaign for Freedom of Information
When complaints about aggressive policing of a climate change protest were made in 2008, a minister defended the police pointing out that 70 officers had been hurt at the event. The police injuries were later uncovered by a freedom of information (FOI) request. They involved toothache, diarrhoea, heat exhaustion, a cut arm caused by an officer climbing over a fence and 'possible bee stings'. No officer had been hurt by protesters. The minister had to apologise for misleading Parliament. In February 2015, Parliament was told that there had been no serious incidents of self-harm over the previous two years at the controversial Yarl's Wood immigration detention centre. An FOI request revealed that there had been 74 such incidents requiring medical attention in 2013 alone. The Act also helps identify shortcomings in public services. It has shown that patients with conditions such as diabetes in the south west of England are twice as likely as those in London to have a leg or foot amputated. Variations in the quality of health care are the cause. FOI requests have shown that the number of patients left waiting in ambulances outside accident and emergency units almost doubled in 3 years because of staff or bed shortages. More than 30,000 patients had to wait in an ambulance for over an hour in 2013-14. The longest waited over eight hours. The Act has revealed the increasing numbers of elderly and vulnerable people whose care is limited to a 15-minute 'flying visit' by staff who acknowledge that they cannot provide the help needed in the time. Eighty three per cent of Welsh councils and 69 per cent of English councils used such visits in 2014. Some provided 75% of all care this way. The manufacturer of the Taser, which police use to deliver powerful electric shocks to potentially dangerous people, advises police not to aim at the chest area because of the risk of heart attack. A 2013 FOI request revealed that almost 60 per cent of all Taser shots have hit the chest area. These examples show why the FOI Act is such an essential tool for holding public authorities to account and improving public services. But it is under threat.
The government has set up a Commission to consider restricting the Act. It wants to provide greater protection for public authorities' internal discussions and reduce the 'burden' of FOI requests.
The case for improving the Act, for example to cover contractors providing public services, is not on the agenda.
The result will be the opposite of what we need: less chance of finding out when things go wrong, more protection for incompetent decisions and an easier life for politicians who conceal the truth.
What is the Freedom of Information Act 2000?
The Act became law in 2005 and allows public access to information held by 100,000 public authorities in the UK (Scotland is covered by a similar act from 2002).
Everyone can request official information from councils, government departments and agencies – and they have to tell you.
Public authorities of all levels are covered by the act – the police, the armed forces, regulators, the BBC, the Houses of Parliament, NHS bodies and many more.
The act does not cover personal data (that falls under the Data Protection Act) and some information is exempt. But it does allow ordinary people, journalists and campaigners the right to know how public money is spent
Access to information helps the public make public authorities accountable for their actions and allows public debate to be better informed and more productive.
More than 400,000 information requests were made in the first ten years from the act becoming law in 2005.
Journalists in all types of newspaper routinely make FOI requests to uncover information for stories.

Happy Palin Day!
Pat Cunningham
Five years ago today, John McCain selected then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate on the 2008 Republican presidential ticket — and thus began an epoch filled with great political laughs for Americans in general and us snarky liberals in particular.
Palin has been the target of hundreds of barbs on this blog over these past 60 months, and HERE's a collection of scores of those posts for your reading pleasure.

This isn't about formatting, but it is about ebooks. Thought you all might like to see how one book buying decision was made…
(transcript of a google chat on November 6)
ME: ah
the old man is really grumpy today and trying to pick a fight with me
I wish he would go to work
I can FEEL him glowering from here
MARINA: what is he so grumpy about
ME: I have no idea
that time of the month or something
MARINA: all of that and a penis, too. what a lucky girl YOU are
ME: no shit
lucky… lucky… lucky
I need a book to read while I'm standing in line to vote
any suggestions?
MARINA: well, if the line is long, A Game Of Thrones. I think I'll be reading that for the rest of my life.
ME: heh
I guess I could try War and Peace again
maybe I can make it through on my kindle
MARINA: or not. are you looking for something new?
ME: yep
MARINA: well, joe has this, but I don't think you are so crazy about him. http://www.amazon.com/Inheritance-ebook/dp/B009PN36Z4/ref=kinw_dp_ke
I haven't read it, myself
ME: sounds heavy
I want something that makes me laugh
MARINA: expensive, but funny. http://www.amazon.com/Southern-Ladies-Gentlemen-ebook/dp/B007PRZLT6/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1352217627&sr=1-1&keywords=southern+ladies+and+gentlemen
ME: that's a possible
not funny, but a burke book I haven't read.
MARINA: I love this, but it's long long long. and none of these books are new. http://www.amazon.com/Short-History-Small-Place-ebook/dp/B002J05GRG/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1352217687&sr=1-1&keywords=a+short+history+of+small+place
ME: also expensive
MARINA: I'm pretty over burke
ME: http://www.amazon.com/Warwolf-ebook/dp/B0058TUNRS/ref=pd_sim_kstore_1
MARINA: I am getting a bit Game Of Thrones burned out. maybe I should switch over to Martin's book for a while. but I so hate not finishing a book before I start another. except for john books
ME: check the Look Inside on the last link I sent and read the first paragraph
can I resist?
MARINA: holy SHIT, I'm going to get that
ME: me, too
MARINA: holy SHIT, it's bert
ME: okay, have a book
now to boot the old man
MARINA: get him some tampons
ME: for both ends
grumpy old man
The formatting is less than stellar, but it starts funny and keeps getting funnier and a damned good mystery, too.
How you do you make book buying decisions?
