Berlusconi again backs Blair for EU President’s postOctober 15th, 2009 - 4:33 pm ICT by ANI
Rome (Italy), Oct.15 (ANI): Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has backed old chum and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to be the next President of the European Union.
In an open letter to Il Foglio, the newspaper part-owned by his estranged wife Veronica, which is mounting a campaign in support of Blair, Berlusconi said: “Tony Blair has everything it takes to become the first President of the European Council.”
The daily’s front-paged article further goes on to say: “My government and I will work to ensure we do not lose a great political legacy, made with courage, equilibrium and prudence without uncertainty.”
The friendship between the two men goes back to the start of the Iraq war, which Berlusconi staunchly supported.
In the summer of 2004, the Blair family enjoyed a holiday | at Berlusconi’s estate in Sardinia.
This is not the first time that Berlusconi has enthused about Blair’s candidacy. He has previously said that Blair has the “ideal personality” for the job. (ANI)

After playing many hours Dayz and after finding my way in this apocalyptic world I would like to share with you readers my personal thoughts about this wonderful mod.
In my life I’ve played many games and only one can compete with Dayz regarding the intensity of emotions aroused: | EVE Online.
I am a veteran of EVE Online and in Dayz I found again the tension in dealing with another player, the adrenaline rush killing an opponent, the terror of not knowing what you expect in a few moments, the gratification of exploring unknown places. In a few months Dayz has matched subscriptions of EVE Online (the sandbox for excellence) and this can not be an accident.

Roughly 85 percent of respondents to this week’s RBJ Daily Report Snap Poll say employees should be allowed to work from home when possible.
Yahoo Inc. CEO Marissa Mayer sparked a national debate recently when she decided that all telecommuting employees must work from a Yahoo office, beginning in June. "Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings," a company memo said. "Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home."
According to published reports, Best Buy and Bank of America Corp. also have tightened work-at-home policies. Yet Census Bureau research shows that the number of telecommuters—many of whom need to care for children or aging parents—has increased over the past decade.
Fifty-seven percent of Snap Poll respondents say their companies allow telecommuting, compared with 30 percent whose companies do not.
Supporters say the advantages of allowing employees to work remotely—such as improved productivity and morale—outweigh the drawbacks.
Three out of four respondents say the option of working from home improves employee retention and morale, compared with 8 percent who disagree.
Forty-nine percent say working from home increases productivity, compared | with 22 percent who disagree.
And when asked if working from home hurts work quality, 58 percent disagreed, compared with 15 percent who agree with that statement.
Most respondents did say, however, that working in an office improves communication and collaboration.
Roughly 725 readers participated in this week’s poll, which was conducted March 18 and 19.

WASHINGTON — Continued high unemployment, the recent debt-ceiling circus and the stock-market swoon have left Americans more pessimistic about the economy than at any other time this year, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.
Last week, 68 percent of adults surveyed about the economy said they felt the worst was yet to come. That's the highest percentage since the question was first asked last September. It's also a 15 percentage-point spike from the number who felt that way in July.
That jump in pessimism about the economy extends to personal family finances. Only 25 percent | of adults expect their finances to improve in the coming year, down from 28 percent in July. And 26 percent expect their own economic situations to worsen in the coming year, up from 20 percent in July.

These louts took advantage of the silence in the Theater of Respect and soliloquized about how the shooting resulted from and exemplified the terrible things about their political opponents. This either offended or annoyed the other players in the Theater of Respect, depending on whether they were genuinely decent people who mourn suffering or whether they simply felt constrained to behave as if they were.
That was yesterday. Today, it seems that everyone's ready to jump into the big generalizations game. But let's stop and think about this first. From everything we've seen so far, the gunman, Jared Lee Loughner, is deranged. Like many insane people, he connected up ideas that don't really connect:

There have been many comparisons of Barack Obama to Jimmy Carter, focused on the economy. But the continuing leak of documents by Wikileaks has become for Obama what the Iranian hostage crisis was to Carter.

In Heresy: Ten Lies They Spread About Christianity, Michael Coren, author of the bestselling Why Catholics Are Right, explores why and how Christians and Christian ideas are caricatured in popular media as well as in sophisticated society and addresses ten common lies told about Christianity: that it supported slavery, is racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-intellectual, anti-scientific and anti-Semitic, provokes war, res | ists progress, and is repressive and irrelevant.

Cosmetic primers create an adhesive layer for your blush, eye shadow, foundation and lip color, requiring less makeup and resulting in smoother, more even application. Using a primer reduces or precludes the necessity for foundation and provides an added bonus: your makeup will remain fresher, more resilient and longer-lasting, without the creases that often occur as makeup wears off throughout the day.

PTSD a Risk Among Heart Attack Patients
Heart attacks can trigger post-traumatic stress disorder, new research suggests. As many as 1 in 8 people who survive a heart attack develop symptoms of PTSD, such as frequent nightmares or flashbacks; intrusive thoughts; and elevated blood pressure or heart rate. These symptoms also appear to increase the risk of having a second heart attack, according to findings published in the journal PLoS One. PTSD, an anxiety disorder that develops after a traumatic event involving the threat of injury or death, often affects soldiers returning home from war. A heart attack is a terrifying experience in its own right, the study authors say. "About 1.4 million people [in the United States] have heart attacks every year; that's as many people as are in our entire active military," study author Donald Edmondson, an assistant professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, told Time. "That feeling that your life is in danger — the loss of control when your body turns on you — is something that these people have a hard time forgetting."

That wasn't an allergy attack Robert De Niro had - those were real tears he shed while promoting his Oscar-nominated movie Silver Linings Playbook with co-star Bradley Cooper and director David O. Russell on Katie.
Russell was telling Katie Couric Monday about how his son, Matthew, has a mood disorder similar to that of Cooper's character in the movie. Matthew also has a small role in the movie.
When Couric asked De Niro whether his director's "personal investment" in the movie made him feel greater responsibility, De Niro said, "Of course," and then he couldn't speak for several long moments.
"I don't like to get emotional, but I know exactly what (Russell) goes through," he said, choking up.
If being a great actor means being open to emotion, then De Niro, often referred to as America's greatest living actor, demonstrated why he may yet win a third Academy Award, for best supporting actor, for his performance as Cooper's father.
Russell, who credits his son for inspiration in making | the movie, said De Niro had been deeply affected just by the script when they met to discuss it at his apartment.
"I thought he was having hay fever, and I realized he was having an emotional reaction," Russell said. "I sat there and watched Robert De Niro cry for 10 minutes and I said, 'Wow, he's really connecting with this material, and this would be a beautiful thing if it could work out, because | [

During the years, Richard honed his skills at the art of war. When he reached Count Theobald of Bordeaux’s castle, he immediately set up his siege machine. He started the assault by using the trebuchets to weaken the walls and the morale of those inside the castle. Next he brought up the siege towers, and archers assailed the men on the battlements.

We quantified the air quality benefits of a smoke-free workplace law in Boston Massachusetts, U.S.A., by measuring air pollution from secondhand smoke (SHS) in 7 pubs before and after the law, comparing actual ventilation practices to engineering society (ASHRAE) recommendations, and assessing SHS levels using health and comfort indices.
We performed real-time measurements of respirable particle (RSP) air pollution and particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PPAH), in 7 pubs and outdoors in a model-based design yielding air exchange rates for RSP removal. We also assessed ventilation rates from carbon dioxide concentrations. We compared RSP air pollution to the federal Air Quality Index (AQI) and the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) to assess health risks, and assessed odor and irritation levels using published SHS-RSP thresholds.
Pre-smoking-ban RSP levels in 6 pubs (one pub with a non-SHS air quality problem was excluded) averaged 179 μg/m3, | 23 times higher than post-ban levels, which averaged 7.7 μg/m3, exceeding the NAAQS for fine particle pollution (PM2.5) by nearly 4-fold.

QuestionI've read and liked Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Are there any books in that vein which you would recommend as a follow-up?
There are plenty of novels as good or better than The Da Vinci Code, which makes its record-breaking sales perhaps the biggest mystery about the book! Six years ago, former investigative reporter Lewis Perdue wrote Daughter of God, in which an | art historian and her husband are bequeathed a manuscript that reveals all sorts of secrets about church cover-ups in the first few centuries after Jesus. Of all the books I've seen that deal with this theme, this is one of the best. It's available in paperback -- as is Perdue's thriller, The Da Vinci Legacy -- and both are great choices for summer vacation.

Doyle New York’s September 21st auction of Important Estate Jewelry will include pieces from the Antique, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Modern eras. As usual, Doyle is showcasing a fantastic and diverse collection of estate jewelry – from Van Cleef & Arpels to Cartier and Bulgari – in this inspiring auction. Here we’ve chosen a few pieces that caught our eye, including a diamond tiara and a colorful antique pocketwatch.
Belle Epoque Platinum, Pearl and Diamond Bandeau circa 1905. This intricate tiara takes us back 100 years. The openwork garland motif with diamond-set leaves is accented by scalloped filigree – a very delicate metalwork that resembles lace – edged by small old-mine and rose-cut diamonds.
Cartier Art Deco Platinum, Aquamarine and Diamond Double Clip Brooch, circa 1930. The aquamarines in this piece are exquisite: clear and pure with immaculate transparency.

For the past couple of months I have worried about the risks of a failed presidency. No one should want this, regardless of party affiliation. It is harmful and dangerous to our economy and country. However, it appears obvious to me that the royal regime known as Obama has ended.
Seth Leibsohn writing in the National Review summarized it this way:
“This is reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter years – the last time the U.S. was seen as weak – unable to move and coax other countries, unable to reassure dependent allies, unable to have the respect of the world and, of course, unable to move the mullocracy of Iran.”
Even the liberal media are beginning to question the effectiveness of | the President. The media, in full Camelot mode, are slow to react and often lag what the populace started to recognize months ago.

Riesa’s athletic heritage dates back to the 19th century.

How many times have you enjoyed the first teaser for Les Miserables? As I mentioned last week, many of the anticipated award films have been rolling out their previews the last couple of weeks.

With the latest iteration of the Gaza flotilla having turned into a costly fiasco, what can the anti-Israel crowd do to gain some attention? Their answer is to stage a “fly-in” to Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport. The point of the exercise is apparently an attempt to disrupt operations at the busy terminal, something that will, no doubt, further endear the Palestinian cause to weary travelers coming into or out of the country.
While reports say three such activists have already been arrested after arriving at the airport, it is believed that some 700 others will land on Friday. After landing, they plan to tell authorities they have arrived to visit “Palestine” and will either be arrested or let loose to engage in “solidarity” activities in the West Bank.
While many of the Gaza flotilla activists insist their goal is merely to help the people of Gaza, the purpose of their excursion is to strengthen the Hamas | rulers of the strip by ending the isolation the international community has attempted to impose on the terrorist-run territory.
But much less effort is needed to connect the dots between the stated intentions of the “fly-in” activists and their actual goal. Someone who lands in Israel and | [

pañcāpsarā-tīrthe āilā śacīra nandana
The Apsarās, denizens of the heavenly planets, are generally known as dancing girls. The girls in the heavenly planets are exquisitely beautiful, and if a woman on earth is found to be very beautiful, she is compared to the Apsarās. There were five Apsarās named Latā, Budbudā, Samīcī, Saurabheyī and Varṇā. It is said that these five beautiful dancing girls were sent by Indra to break the severe austerity of a saintly person called Acyuta Ṛṣi. This action was typical of Indra, the King of heaven. Whenever Indra discovered someone undergoing severe austerities, he would begin to fear for his post. Indra was always anxious about his position, fearing that if someone became more powerful than he was, he would lose his elevated position. Thus as soon as he would see a saint undergoing severe austerities, he would send dancing girls to | distract him. Even the great saint Viśvāmitra Muni fell victim to his plan.
When the five Apsarās went to break Acyuta Ṛṣi’s meditation, they were all chastised and cursed by the saint. As a result | [

Bernanke briefs lawmakers on fiscal cliff
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke trekked to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to caution Senate lawmakers on the economic dangers of the looming "fiscal cliff," the nearly $600 billion in planned spending cuts and tax hikes that will bite at the start of next year unless lawmakers act.
Bernanke, who has publicly warned that dawdling by lawmakers was putting the U.S. economy in peril, spoke to members of the Senate Finance Committee for about an hour behind closed doors in a meeting requested by the panel chairman, Democrat Max Baucus.
"I believe strongly that nothing of consequence is ever solved when somebody tries to do something alone. You got to work together. My whole goal here | is to get senators working together and it is happening," Baucus said after the meeting.
Bernanke declined to comment.
Last week, the Fed announced a new, open-ended round of bond buying and pledged to hold short-term interest rates at rock- bottom levels longer than previously stated in an effort to shore up the lackluster U.S. economic recovery.
Bernanke also said then that the Fed could not solve the economy's problems alone.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- It is a gruesome case that police say started with a love triangle and ended in murder. The second day in the Joseph Banis, 41, murder trial proved to be a heated one as a lead homicide detective was cross-examined.
Banis' defense attorney showed a picture of his client hugging the murder victim, James Carroll. Louisville's lead homicide detective, Jon Lesher, testified that Banis even showed them where to find the victim's body in his Old Louisville home.
"Him providing me this map, him telling me how the victim was killed how he was hit with a sledge hammer and wouldn't fit in the box. How he was twined and how they sprinkled lime," Lesher said.
Defense tried to paint a picture that Banis' former lover, Jeffrey Mundt, was the cold blooded killer motivated by jealousy in a twisted love triangle.
Detective Lesher says a Smith and Wesson.38 caliber revolver was used to shoot Carroll in the chin. A photo shows Banis holding an extender that belongs to that weapon, recovered | as evidence in Chicago.
But defense says Carroll died of stab wounds, not gunshot wounds, according to the medical examiner. A knife was never recovered.
Police say Banis and Mundt had a relationship with Carroll, who was a meth dealer, after meeting him on a dating or hookup website for men.
A love triangle, detectives say, fueled by drugs that involved counterfeit money and robbery.

The Death of the Security Industry
By Bruce Schneier
The hardest thing about working in IT security is convincing users to buy our technologies. An enormous amount of energy has been focused on this problem—risk analyses, ROI models, audits—yet critical technologies still remain uninstalled and important networks remain insecure. I’m constantly asked how to solve this by frustrated security vendors and—sadly—I have no good answer. But I know the problem is temporary: in the long run, the information security industry as we know it will disappear.
The entire IT security industry is an accident: an artifact of how the computer industry developed. Computers are hard to use, and you need an IT department staffed with experts to make it work. Contrast this with other mature high-tech products such as those | for power and lighting, heating and air conditioning, automobiles and airplanes. No company has an automotive-technology department, filled with car geeks to install the latest engine mods and help users recover from the inevitable crashes.
IT is heading in that direction: as IT becomes more of a utility, users are buying more services than products. And by their nature, services are more about results than technologies. Service customers—from home users to multinational corporations—care less about the technological specifics and just expect IT to work.
Eight years ago, I formed Counterpane Internet Security on the premise that large | [

De-facto was bringing home the bacon this week. He got an assignment in London, which means I’ve been flying solo with the girls for a few days. In the old days, I’d have hired the babysitter for a few extra hours, just to cushion the full-on press. But these are the new days. Work isn’t exactly streaming in, and like everyone else, we’re feeling the weight of this bleak economic climate. So I was on my own.
This is not a severe hardship. But as any parent will attest – and let me express the extreme awe I have for single parents for whom this is business as usual – being the lone adult with little kids can wear you down. When there’s nobody to whom you can hand off the baton, even for just ten minutes here and there, nerves get frayed.

National Philanthropy Day
by James L. Cummins
We are constantly hearing that Mississippi is last in this and last in that. But when it comes to philanthropy, Mississippi has the highest per capita of charitable giving of any state in the United States.
Philanthropy is defined as the altruistic concern for human welfare and advancement, usually manifested by donations of money, property or work to needy persons. National Philanthropy Day is a day in which we celebrate exceptional individuals and organizations that have dedicated themselves to philanthropy. Although there is not a designated day, celebrations are held during the month | of November, with each sponsor determining the day of celebration. This year will mark the 22nd anniversary of this special day.

13 Money-Saving Beauty Products You Should Swipe from Your Guy
Hey beauty junkie, I feel your pain.
Like me, your bathroom is bursting with products from your costly beauty binges; you've tried the best cleansers, eye creams, and deodorants; and have more nail accessories than your local mani/pedi place.

Because for this week, I'll be doing a 2-in-1 review using a FOTD look (inspired by summer) I created recently. A pair of lenses and a pair of false eyelashes... both go so well together and saves me from taking separate pictures for review and blogging.

Even Kim Kardashian isn't safe from the vampire craze. The star of the E! reality series Keeping up with the Kardashians recently underwent a major makeover, going straight-on goth. On her official blog, she posted photos of her new look for all her fans to see.
"Since vampires are all the rage right now, Troy Jensen [makeup artist] and I thought it would be cool to try out a more gothic, almost sinister look!" Kim Kardashian revealed. "This look was inspired by Prada's fall 2009 runway show and it is so unlike anything I've ever done!"

Fires in Brown and Keya Paha Counties in northern Nebraska
North central Nebraska is fighting three big fires in Brown and Keya Paha counties, along or near the Niobrara River. As I understand it, all of these fires were started by lightning from thunderstorms. Vegetation is very dry due to drought, and high winds have been spreading the fires. Today, the temperatures climbed as high as 108° in the area.
The above map from the Nebraska Emergency Management Area shows the locations of the three fires. The largest of these, on the west, is the Fairfield Canyon Fire that has burned about 50,000 acres. The two smaller fires on the east are the Wentworth Fire and the Hall Fire. These fires are 50 to 60 miles north/northwest of where I grew up in northern Nebraska.
The news section of the Radio KBRB website reports that various agencies and organizations are providing support and assistance. The Central Plains Chapter of the American Red Cross, the Southern Baptist Emergency Relief Team, the National Guard, the Rocky Mountain Incident Management team, the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, firefighting crews from over 50 Nebraska and South Dakota communities, and other civic and religious organizations are all working in the area. One | of the roles of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency is to coordinate these efforts to the best advantage.
The National Guard has sent water tankers and also some helicopters that can carry big buckets of water. The helicopter crews can dump the water onto the fire, or they can lower the buckets to the ground where the water can be used by firefighters. | [

As the U.S. teeters on the precipice of a double-dip recession, laughter truly might be the best medicine. Ashton Kutcher's Sept. 19 debut on CBS' "Two and a Half Men" generated a football-sized 29 million viewers, and the second week's 20.5 million still topped last season's average with Charlie Sheen. "How I Met Your Mother" debuted up double digits, and "2 Broke Girls," which benefited from a monster "Men" lead-in, pulled in an astounding 7.1 rating in the 18-to-49 demo.
On Fox, the Sept. 20 premiere of "New Girl" bested its "Glee" lead-in and gave the network its highest-rated fall sitcom debut since "The Bernie Mac Show" in November 2001. The third-season premiere of "Modern Family" on Sept. 21 delivered ABC's top-rated season debut in six years, and lead-in "The Middle | " hit a series high. Even "Whitney," eviscerated by critics, improved on "Community's" 2010 premiere in the slot, though NBC's other Thursday comedies — including a Steve Carell-free "The Office" — were down.

A truck hauls part of a wind tower in Lowell in August. Vermont utility regulators have fined Green Mountain Power $30,000 stemming from five violations of its permit to ship turbine parts to an industrial wind-power project last year.
LOWELL — Vermont’s largest electric utility has been fined $30,000 by state utility regulators for violating the permit that governed the delivery by road of turbine parts used in the construction of the Lowell Mountain wind project.
Green Mountain Power and the Public Service Department, which represents the state in utility issues, had agreed upon a fine of $7,500 for the violations that took place last summer when the turbine parts were delivered without giving proper notice to the communities through which the trucks carrying the parts passed.
But the utility-regulating Public Service Board determined the fine wasn’t enough. The board increased the fine to $30,000.
“We have determined that a higher penalty is warranted for violating the transportation plan,” said the board’s order.
GMP spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said Thursday that no property was harmed during the violations. And a New Hampshire company hauled wind turbine parts along the same route last summer without any requirements to warn Vermont officials.
“We’re really disappointed that the Public Service Board chose this level of fine for an administrative | oversight,” Schnure said. “We had a permit. We used the route for five days due to an administrative error on our part before we had completed all technical notifications and actions.”
Most of the turbine parts used in the Lowell Mountain project were shipped from southern Vermont to Lowell and from Island Pond’s rail yards to Lowell, all without violations. But the utility made a handful of shipments from northern New York to Lowell.
GMP asked for and received an expedited permit to use the northern route, but the utility did not get a waiver for a 30- to 60-day warning period for the towns through which the parts | [
