Stocks close day up slightly as techs lead the way

5 hrs.

Reuters

Stocks edged higher on Monday as technology shares bounced back after recent weakness and McDonald's posted strong monthly sales.?

According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 14.75 points, or 0.11 percent, to end at 13,169.88. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up just 0.48 of a point, or 0.03 percent, to finish at 1,418.55. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 8.92 points, or 0.30 percent, to close ?at 2,986.96.?

Technology stocks were the S&P 500's best-performing sector as Hewlett-Packard Co climbed 2.9 percent to $14.20 on rumors that activist investor Carl Icahn is building a stake in the PC maker. The stock is down 44.5 percent for the year and ranks as the Dow's worst performer.?

Tech was also supported by Cisco Systems , which gained 2.4 percent to $19.79 after the company presented its midterm growth strategy on Friday. Monday's rally put the stock on track for its fifth advance in the past six sessions.?

U.S. President Barack Obama met with Republican House Speaker John Boehner on Sunday to negotiate a budget deal. A Boehner aide said Monday that talks are continuing.?

Persistent worries about the negotiations over the "fiscal cliff," a series of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts that could hurt economic growth next year, have kept market moves small of late.?

"There is a general sense that if a deal is struck, that we could have a further advance in the market at the end of this year as well as the first part of next year," said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial in Westport, Connecticut.?

The benchmark S&P 500 index has yet to see a move greater than 0.5 percent in either direction for December, and hasn't moved more than 1 percent either way since November 23. However, the market has regained most of the losses incurred post-election as investors refocused on the fiscal cliff.?

McDonald's gave the Dow a jolt, gaining 1.4 percent to $89.69, as its November sales were stronger than expected and showed a bounce back from a decline in October.?

News out of Italy kept sentiment in check as Prime Minister Mario Monti said he would resign after the approval of the 2013 budget. The move added to uncertainty about progress being made to tackle the euro zone's debt problem and drove Italy's borrowing costs higher.?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? More than nine months after the NFL first disclosed its bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints, four players will finally get a ruling on whether their initial suspensions are upheld, reduced or thrown out.

Former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who was appointed to handle a second round of player appeals to the league, has informed all parties he planned to rule by Tuesday afternoon. His decision could affect whether two current Saints ? linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith ? get to play out the season.

If the sanctioned players find Tagliabue's decision palatable, that could finally bring the bounty saga to an end. If not, it will be up to a federal judge to either disqualify Tagliabue or let his ruling stand.

Even if Tagliabue maintains the suspensions, any punishment will delayed a week, allowing Vilma and Smith to at least play this Sunday at home against Tampa Bay, a person familiar with the decision said.

The delay is aimed at giving U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan in New Orleans time to review Tagliabue's ruling and decide if she still believes she must take the unusual step of getting involved in a collectively bargained process in order to protect the players' rights, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because no ruling had been announced.

If Vilma, Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove get the ruling they seek, it would discredit an NFL probe ? overseen by Commissioner Roger Goodell ? that covered three seasons and gathered about 50,000 pages of documents.

The probe concluded that Vilma and Smith were ring-leaders of a cash-for-hits program that rewarded injurious tackles labeled as "cart-offs" and "knockouts."

The NFL also concluded that Hargrove lied to NFL investigators to help cover up the program.

None of the players has served a game of their suspensions yet and have been allowed to play while appeals are pending, though Fujita is on injured reserve and Hargrove is not with a team. Shortly before the regular season, the initial suspensions were vacated by an appeal panel created by the league's collective bargaining agreement. Goodell then reissued them with some modifications. Meanwhile, the players have challenged the NFL's handling of the entire process in federal court.

Vilma received a full-season suspension, while Smith was docked four games. Hargrove initially received an eight-game suspension that was later trimmed to seven games, but for practical purposes, was reduced to two games because he was given credit for five games he missed as a free agent after being cut by Green Bay before the regular-season opener. Fujita had his initial suspension reduced from three games to one, with the league saying that he failed in his duty as a defensive leader in 2009 to discourage the bounty program run by former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.

Goodell also suspended Williams indefinitely, while banning Saints head coach Sean Payton for a full season.

Tagliabue's ruling comes after a new round of hearings that for the first time allowed Vilma's attorneys and the NFL Players Association, which represents the other three players, to cross-examine key NFL witnesses in the probe. Those witnesses included Williams and former Saints assistant Mike Cerullo, who was fired after the 2009 season and whose email to the league, accusing the Saints of being "a dirty organization," jump-started the probe.

Also for the first time, the NFL allowed players' attorneys to review all of the documents the NFL had collected, including some in which people stated that the players never did what they were accused of, the person who spoke with AP said.

Last Hostess Twinkies shipped to Chicago supermarkets

Dave Kaup / Reuters

Hostess Brands Twinkies are on display in a supermarket in Kansas City, Kan., in this Nov. 16 file photo. The last shipment of Hostess-baked Twinkies are headed to supermarkets in Chicago Tuesday.

By Ben Popken, TODAY contributor

If you're craving a Twinkie (and you're in the Chicago area), you may have one more chance to get a box of the?Hostess-baked cakes, but you have to be fast and lucky.

The last Twinkies?shipment from the bankrupt baker will hit Chicago area Jewel-Osco supermarkets Tuesday morning, Hostess spokesman Tom Becker told TODAY.

Over 20,000 boxes were in the shipment from the Twinkies plant in Columbus, Ga. They will sell for regular retail face value ($3.59 for a box of 10) until supplies run out, with no per customer limit. Jewel-Osco posted a delivery schedule on their Facebook page with the locations of all their stores that will receive the final batch of creme-filled delights and their expected time of delivery.

After this final batch of Twinkies runs out, there will be no more Twinkies on store shelves until (if and when) the brand is bought and restarted. Twinkies lovers will have to turn to secondary markets like eBay, Craigslist, or some guy selling them out of a storage locker he's stacked full of hoarded Twinkies.

When negotiations with its unions failed this winter, Twinkies-maker Hostess declared?bankruptcy and began liquidating the company. Having received hundreds of inquiries from interested buyers, it's likely that much like the product itself, Twinkies will never die. They just might not be baked or delivered by union hands, and those hands might not be American.

Managing Renewals In A Changing Workers' Comp Market ...

The 2012 Workers? Compensation marketplace ended almost a decade of relative calm in which many employers experienced decreased work comp costs and fierce competition for their business. As the cycle continues to reverse and costs increase, many employers are worried about their 2013 premiums. The ?2013 Marketplace Realities? report from Willis Group Holdings P.L.C. projects Workers? Comp rates to increase 2.5% to 7.5% with increases of up to 20% in California.

Historically, Workers? Comp pricing is cyclical; therefore, indications are that increasing costs will continue for four to five years. To minimize the impact of the market shift, employers should understand the market forces driving the changes, how they impact their Workers? Comp program and what they can do. There are four major factors propelling higher costs:

Insurance companies, wanting to gain market share during a troubled economy, delayed increases even as their costs rose. They have paid out more in claims costs than they have taken in from premiums and low investment yields have not offset the underwriting losses. To return to profitability, insurance companies are raising premiums, reducing policy offerings and tightening underwriting standards, taking a particularly hard look at risks.

Workers? Compensation rates continue to be driven by medical costs that rise faster than inflation and often faster than medical costs outside the Workers? Comp system. Rampant narcotic abuse has also exacerbated the problem.

The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), which sets the standards for calculating Experience Modification Factors (Mods) used to determine Workers? Comp costs, revised its standards significantly for the first time in decades. The three-year process that will commence on January 1, 2013 will change how Workers? Compensation insurance providers calculate the Mod, which will affect premium rates for many buyers in states that use NCCI calculated Mods. Rising rates could be compounded by rising payroll in a recovering economy.

Employers with a keen grasp of Workers? Comp premiums understand that ?shopping? for a better rate is not the answer. Unlike most other insurance, Workers? Comp functions like a Line of Credit. Use it and you will pay back the cost of the injuries plus more; in fact, employers will pay back two to three dollars to the insurance company for every dollar the insurance company pays in claims costs. In most states, an experience rating or Mod, an actuarially based method of determining whether your company?s losses (injury claims) are better or worse than expected, is used in calculating the premium.

Since the formula evaluates the company?s losses over three consecutive policy years, not including the most recent year, the 2013 Mod will use data from 2009, 2010 and 2011. Six months prior to the policy expiration date, the insurance company will submit data about the company?s claims during the previous policy year. If your renewal date is January 1, your Mod for 2013 is already determined. However, actively reducing your Mod today will reap reductions in Workers? Compensation insurance premiums tomorrow.

While there are administrative steps that can be taken to tighten up costs, implementing safety measures and practices that reduce claims are the game changers regardless of industry or rate environment. Simply put, those employers who have a history of claims will incur greater costs than average. And it?s not just large claims. Frequency is a greater driver of costs than severity. Controlling Workers? Comp is an ongoing business practice that should be consistent in hard and soft market. If a company has a good claims record, it is going to be impacted the least when premiums increase.

Here are three things you should know to avoid unpleasant surprises on renewal:

How the insurance company perceives your business
Insurance companies are increasingly taking a customized approach to risk, looking both at the risks that are inherent in your operations and the actions you have taken (and continue) to manage and control those risks. While claims history is important, the insurance company also looks at what is being done to reduce hazards and improve safety and how effectively these systems have been implemented. Good relationships with insurance companies always helps when it?s time to negotiate premiums and companies with robust cost containment efforts, including strong hiring practices, workplace safety and loss prevention programs, efficient claims administration, return to work programs, medical relationships that promote appropriate occupational treatments as well as responsiveness to recommendations from the insurance company, are in the best position.

Employers should also expect a level of commitment from the insurance company. Keeping you informed as to the cost of specific injuries, not only will help you monitor and control the claim, but also creates a valuable visibility and awareness of costs of claims for supervisors and managers.

In some cases, employers may look to move from guaranteed cost policies to loss sensitive plans that increase employers? responsibility for claims management and often come with high deductibles. This is not for everyone; it is an area that requires a thoughtful, systematic approach to determine if the employer is operationally and organizationally prepared to take on the additional financial risk and administrative responsibilities and if they have the robust safety culture and programs necessary to be successful. Insurance companies and agents can help you understand the differences.

What affects the Experience Modification Factor (Mod)
The costs of claims are the driving force behind the Mod and insurance companies view the Mod as a good indicator of the strength of a company?s safety and claim management programs. A Mod of one represents the average risk for an average company in their industry and underwriters typically look to write those companies that perform better than average.

An important aspect of the Mod is the split-point between primary losses and excess losses, which effectively discounts the impact of a single large claim. As an example, five claims of $10,000 each will increase a Mod significantly more than a single claim of $50,000.

2013 takes on increased importance for NCCI-rated states as the first major change in the rating bureau?s method of calculating Mods will be implemented with a focus on the split point threshold. The existing experience-rating formula sets the primary loss amount at the first $5,000 of any claim, discounting any per-claim amount over $5,000. Effective January 1, 2013, the primary loss threshold increases to $10,000, January 1, 2014 to $13,500 and January 1, 2015 to $15,000 with a post-2015 automatic inflation adjustment.

This new rating system will heavily penalize employers with multiple claims under $10,000. Such employers should immediately strive to reduce the frequency of ?claim cost drivers,? such as strains and slip and falls; implement an effective return-to-work program that reduces the cost of wage-loss benefits; institute hiring and training practices that foster safety and promptly report accidents to prevent avoidable medical costs and prolonged recovery time.

Mistake-free administrative records

While controlling underlying claim costs is the big picture in long-term, sustained savings, mistake-free administrative records can help in the short-term. If the policy renewal date is January 1, your 2012 policy will generally be audited from Jan. 15 to March 1, 2013. It?s important that your records be in order:

Properly applying payroll to the correct class code directly affects the premium. Employers that take the time to place classifications and/or job titles into the payroll records provide helpful information for the auditor; however, they need to be prepared to defend the classifications. Understand the state?s exclusions from calculation remuneration and keep this information separate from payroll. For example, in many states severance pay is not treated as remuneration and overtime can be reduced to straight time.

Understand how employer perks are treated. Year-end often means bonuses or gifts to employees. Cash or cash equivalents, such as gift cards are included in remuneration, but employer-provided tickets to entertainment events, an airline flight, employer-provided automobiles, and club memberships are excluded. Be vigilant about certificates of insurance from subcontractors, temporary agencies or employee-leasing companies.

The potential for mistakes and overcharges in Workers? Compensation is higher than any other type of insurance. The items listed above only scratch the surface. Errors commonly occur in other areas as well, such as the handling of executive officers pay, unusual exclusions, multiple state coverage, etc. Proper preparation for the audit is essential.

Workers? Compensation costs directly affect the bottom line. Companies that are committed to an integrated approach of cost containment encompassing all aspects of Workers? Compensation will emerge with the competitive advantage.

When will Wayfair go public? - Fortune Finance: Hedge Funds ...

FORTUNE -- Online home goods retailer Wayfair.com generates over $600 million in annual revenue. It has been around for a decade, and currently employs more than 1,200 people. It has raised over $200 million in venture capital funding, including a new $36 million round announced earlier today.

So when is Wayfair going public?

Niraj Shah, co-founder and CEO of the Boston-based company, insists that there are no plans drawn up for a 2013 offering. Not because the company couldn't pull it off, but because it is not yet the "ideal" time.

Shah's primary sticking point seems to be that Wayfair, as a brand, is actually only one-year old.

The Boston-based company originally launched in 2002 as CSN Stores, and built up a portfolio of around 200 consumer-facing sites. Things like Cookware.com and BedroomFurniture.com. Then last year it consolidated almost everything under the Wayfair brand, save for an upper-end design brand called AllModern.com and a flash sale site called?Joss & Main (which is where most of the new $36 million will go). It also raised $165 million in its first-ever round of funding, some of which was a tender offer for early employees with vested stock.

"If you aren't in a rush and you don't need liquidity for your investors, then you look at it and wonder why you should go public when you still don't have much brand awareness and think the story could be so much better in another year or two," Shah explains.

Shah also says that he doesn't really think much about being a public company CEO, or that he dreams of seeing his company listed on a stock exchange. Instead, he says, an IPO is simply the most logical outcome for an e-commerce company of Wayfair's size.

You never know how everything will play out," Shah says, when I ask if Wayfair will remain independent or ultimately be acquired by a company like Amazon (AMZN). "But we're getting to the point where there aren't that many other companies out there that would make sense as an acquirer."

In terms of holiday season sales, Wayfair is having a slightly better season than it had forecast. "It was a little more front-ended from Thanksgiving Day through to Cyber Monday, and I think that five-day run pulled out a bit of later demand," Shah explains, adding that Wayfair has seen a slight uptick over the past several days.

Romanians vote in poll that may reopen political spat

BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's prime minister was headed for victory in parliamentary elections on Sunday that could set off another round of a power struggle with the rightist president and complicate talks for a new IMF deal.

Victor Ponta's leftist Social Liberal Union (USL) will win the most votes and possibly a clear majority, opinion polls showed. But analysts said President Traian Basescu might use his powers to ask one of his own allies to try to form a government.

Any prolonged period without a new administration in place would unnerve markets and raise questions about how Romania would obtain a new International Monetary Fund deal once the current agreement expires in early 2013.

Heavy snow, rain and fog across the Balkan country delayed the opening of some polling stations but Ponta said all citizens were able to cast ballots. Polls will close at 9 p.m. (1900 GMT) with first results due early on Monday.

"I am convinced that today Romania will write a new page in its history and things will get better," he said in his Targu Jiu constituency, a mining town a few hours from Bucharest.

The former communist country has made progress in some areas since the 1989 revolution that overthrew dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, but although it joined the European Union in 2007, it remains the bloc's second poorest member.

Romania lags regional peers Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic and struggles to supply running water and reliable electricity to some of its 19 million people. Long-term reforms such as privatization of inefficient state companies and an overhaul of health care have failed to materialize, and the economy is struggling to recover from a deep recession.

The leu fell to a record low against the euro in August during an attempt by Ponta to remove the conservative Basescu from office, using tactics which the EU and United States said undermined the rule of law.

At the time, Basescu said he would never again name Ponta as prime minister. This week, he said only that he would appoint someone in the best interests of the country.

The USL has benefited from disenchantment with Basescu and the previous government, which pushed through unpopular austerity measures such as salary cuts and higher sales tax. But lackluster economic growth will give the next administration little room to ease cost cuts and tax rises.

"I gave a chance to the team which is now ruling (USL)," said former textile worker Doina Isopescu, speaking in freezing rain outside a polling station in a communist-era Bucharest neighborhood. I'm fed up with cuts, cuts and again cuts."

NO HOPE

The USL has scored at least 57 percent in three opinion polls published in December and Romania's complicated electoral system - combining constituencies and proportional representation - favors large parties.

One possibility would be for Basescu to ask someone other than Ponta from within the USL to become prime minister, using the argument that it is a coalition of different political groups rather than a party, according to analysts.

If the USL falls short of a majority, he could also ask an ally from the Right Romania Alliance (ARD) - in second place in polls with about 20 percent - to try to form a coalition.

"It is unlikely that the process of electing a new cabinet will be a smooth one and we expect temporary leu depreciation and higher leu yields until Romania has a new government," said UniCredit analyst Dan Bucsa.

Less than half of electorate, estimated at 18.3 million, was likely to vote, analysts said, due to a deep dissatisfaction with politicians, many of whom voters view as corrupt.

"Romania's political class is all horrible," said Anton Popescu, who lives off a pension of 900 lei ($250) a month. "I have no hope for better times after the election. I just hope it won't be worse than it already is."

Pay Less for a Laptop by Ordering Over the Phone at the End of the Month

Shopping online offers a simple convenience that phone sales do not, but as frugal buyer LycanDarko points out, you can cut costs significantly with a call at the end of the month.

Why the end of the month? Many phone sales representatives receive a commission and have a quota to meet. If they're shy of meeting it, they'll be more eager to negotiate on price. Not every rep will offer a discount just because you ask, but if not you can always hang up, call back, and get a new person.

How to Access Gmail When It?s Down

Lots of folks are having trouble accessing Gmail today, and today's outage is just one in a long?series of outages in our favorite webmail application. However, you don't have to let that stop you from accessing your email and getting things done. Here's how to get your Gmail even when you can't access Gmail.com.

Access Gmail Through Alternate Modes

Just because the Gmail web interface went down doesn't mean that Gmail is entirely down?often you can continue to access your account using one of the alternate web interfaces, which often are still accessible even when the regular web interface goes down.

Here's a quick look at each alternate method, one at a time, from the simplest to the most complex. (The more complex solutions are often better long-term solutions, while the simpler solutions are probably the easiest if Gmail just went down and you haven't already prepared for it.)

Try Plain HTML

Your best bet is to bookmark the link for the Plain HTML version of Gmail (or just bookmark this post), so you can quickly switch to this alternate mode if Gmail is giving you trouble loading. It doesn't have all the fancy features that regular old Gmail does, but it can do the job just fine in a pinch.

Use Safe Mode

If you use a lot of different Gmail Labs features, you might find that some of them will conflict with each other, or possibly cause Gmail to stop working. You can use the Safe Mode link to disable all the Labs features and hopefully get Gmail back up and running again. Just visit http://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0. Some people recommend using the older version or bypassing browser checking links, but they won't let you access the Labs settings.

Use the Mobile Version

You can access the mobile phone versions of Gmail from your desktop computer, although they are very stripped down and lacking features. You'll be better off with the Plain HTML version, but in a pinch you can try the mobile version as well.

Use the iGoogle Gadget

We've seen numerous comments and emails from readers during Gmail outages recommending that the excellent Gmail gadget for iGoogle usually still works during a Gmail downtime. If you aren't an iGoogle user, you can still use the gadget by simply browsing to this page.

Use Gmail Offline Access

If you haven't already checked out the Gmail's new offline access, this is a must-use for anybody that really depends on Gmail access. You can continue to use your email whether Gmail is running or not, or even when your own internet goes out. It's not perfect, since it doesn't store every single email in your inbox locally, but it does store enough email to be a great solution.

Access Gmail Through IMAP / POP3

During the last Gmail outage, IMAP and POP3 access weren't affected at all, so those using a desktop or mobile client to access their email were still able to send and receive without even knowing there was an issue. Even if you use the web interface as your primary method of email access, it's a good idea to at least keep a Thunderbird installation setup with IMAP access to your email in a pinch.

We've already got you covered with a complete guide to setting up Thunderbird as the ultimate Gmail IMAP client, but since then, setting up Gmail in Thunderbird has turned into an easy process, requiring only a few clicks through the account settings. If you are an Outlook user, you can follow a detailed guide I've written to set up IMAP in Outlook 2007. If you've got a mobile phone, the Gmail Help site has instructions on setting up just about any smart phone with IMAP access to your email. If you really want to prove your nerd credentials, you can even access your Gmail from the command line.

Prepare For the Next Outage

Gmail doesn't have to go down globally for your email access to be cut off?your internet could go down, or your account could even be disabled. Whatever the case, it's a good idea to have a backup plan just in case the worst should happen.

We've got you covered with a number of methods for backing up your Gmail, starting with the really obvious solution of just using Thunderbird to back up your email with POP access, but you can backup your email with Fetchmail on Windows, Getmail on Linux, the standalone Gmail Backup tool, or even use Google Groups to backup your Gmail account.

The new rover will use spare parts and engineering models developed for Curiosity, which is four months into a planned $2.5 billion, two-year mission on Mars to look for habitats that could have supported microbial life.

Replicating the rover's chassis, sky-crane landing system and other gear will enable?NASA to cut the cost of the new mission to about $1.5 billion,?John Grunsfeld, the U.S. space agency's associate administrator for science, said at the?American Geophysical Union?conference in?San Francisco.

Budget shortfalls forced?NASA to pull out of a series of joint missions with?Europe, designed to return rock and soil samples from Mars in the 2020s.?Europe?instead will partner with?Russia?for the launch vehicle and other equipment that was to have been provided by NASA.

Grunsfeld said?NASA will provide a key organics experiment for?Europe's ExoMars rover, as well as engineering and mission support under the agency's proposed budget for the year beginning Oct. 1, 2013.

Details about what science instruments would be included on the new rover, whether or not it would have a cache for samples, and the landing site have not yet been determined.

NASA plans to set up a team of scientists to refine plans for the rover and issue a solicitation next summer.

The?National Academy of Sciences?last year ranked a Mars sample return mission as its top priority in planetary science for the next decade.

"The (science) community already has come forward with a very clear message about what the content of the next Mars surface mission should be, and that is to cache the samples that will come back to?Earth," said?Steve Squyres?with Cornell University.

"That's really a necessary part of having this mission," he said.

China November CPI Rises To 2 Percent - Business Insider

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's annual consumer inflation sped to 2 percent in November from 33-month lows, data showed on Sunday, dampening the chance for further policy easing as the economy recovers.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast November inflation to climb to five-month highs of 2.1 percent, compared with October's 1.7 percent.

The National Bureau of Statistics said in the same release China's producer price index dropped 2.2 percent in November from a year ago, narrowing from October's 2.8 percent annual fall but sharper than forecasts for a 2 percent decline.

A recovery in factory-gate prices bodes well for China's corporate sector, which has been battling falling profits.

Sunday's price data support earlier indications that China's economy is finally stirring from a slump stretched over seven straight quarters, thanks in part to the central bank's policy loosening.

To reinvigorate economic growth, the central bank cut interest rates twice this year, lowered banks' reserve requirements by a 100 basis points, and pumped cash into the banking system.

Sub-Antarctic lake to be explored

10 December 2012 Last updated at 02:45 ET

Final checks are under way in Antarctica before the launch of a daring attempt to investigate an ancient lake beneath the ice-sheet.

Lake Ellsworth lies below ice that is at least two miles (3.2km) thick.

Its pitch-black waters have remained isolated and unseen for up to half a million years.

This will be the first attempt to extract uncontaminated samples of water and sediment from a body of water so far below the surface.

The investigation is part of a search to understand the limits of where life is possible and, despite the high pressures and lack of sunlight, it is likely that microbes will be detected.

The lake is about 14km long, 3km wide and 160m deep - about the size of Lake Windermere, England's largest.

In a region of Antarctica notorious for its low temperatures and near-constant winds, operating at this location is a huge challenge.

The project is made all the tougher because of the need for all the equipment to be kept sterile throughout the process.

Now the experiment is set we can hit the Go button.?

End Quote Professor Martin Siegert Bristol University

The team behind the ?8m project is readying a hot-water drill that will be used to blast a hole from the surface of the ice all the way down to the lake.

Great excitement

The chief scientist, Professor Martin Siegert of Bristol University, told the BBC that he had first thought of exploring sub-glacial lakes 16 years ago.

"We're very excited about this work and we're very much looking forward to doing science that has taken us so long to plan.

"The first challenge was to develop the equipment and we've done that. The second was to keep it clean and we've done that. The third was to get it to Antarctica in a clean way and we've done that too.

"Now the experiment is set we can hit the Go button."

A small mountain of 270,000 litres of snow is ready to be shoveled into boilers - the first of a vast quantity needed to produce enough water for the operation.

The water will be filtered to remove any microbes, then screened through ultra-violet light before being heated to 90 degrees C and passed into the drill which will melt a passage through the ice-sheet.

The hot water pipes connecting the boilers have been insulated and in some cases fitted with heating devices. All the key component are wired to relay data. And the drill hose, which is 3.4km long, has been cleaned and checked.

The drilling operation is expected to last five days and the bore-hole is projected to remain open for no more than 24 hours.

'Funny feeling'

During this brief window, the plan is to lower a sampling probe fitted with HD cameras to gather the first images of the lake and collect water samples.

Next the team hopes to lower a second device which will settle on the bed of the lake and extract a core of the sediment - which should provide an invaluable record of the history of the lake and reveal when it was covered by ice.

Project manager Chris Hill of the British Antarctic Survey described the "funny feeling" of planning the project for so long and now being ready.

In his blog, he wrote:

"The twelve people here have sat around a meeting table on many occasions during that period?but now, for the first time, we are together in Antarctica, at Lake Ellsworth, with all the equipment, as a team and we have to make it happen.

"No pressure then!"

Earlier this year Russian scientists extracted samples from a much larger Antarctic lake, Lake Vostok, though there are questions about the risks of contamination.

And an American team reported last month on the discovery of microbes in Lake Vida, but from far shallower depths than the waters of Lake Ellsworth.

The initial findings of the Lake Ellsworth project should be known in about a week's time.

AD OF THE DAY: The Axe Morning After Pillow - Business Insider

Axe has come up with a solution to the morning-after cuddling that men (allegedly) hate so much: an inflatable arm and chest that smells like Axe.

The commercial seems like a parody, but it's actually real. Kind of. Axe is selling the morning after pillows, that come in skinny, body builder, tattooed, and hairy styles, on its?Puerto Rican Facebook page.

The spot, created by DDB Latin America, says the "breakthrough" product was created to give men freedom from women who have fallen under the powerful Axe effect. Apparently, the effect is so intense that the woman in the commercial won't let go of her man -- even while he plays tennis. We've yet to see this effect for ourselves, unfortunately, but if Unilever says it, it must be true, right?

Russia denies holding talks on future of Syria's Assad

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Sunday it was not holding any talks on the future of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, dismissing speculation that it is preparing for its ally's potential exit from power.

The United States and its NATO allies have pressed for Assad's departure as part of efforts to end the bloodshed in Syria, but Russia and China have blocked action against the Syrian leader at the U.N. Security Council.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks on Syria with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and international mediator Lakhdar Brahimi on Thursday, but Lavrov dismissed suggestions that this meant Moscow had changed its stance.

"We are not holding any talks on the fate of Assad," Itar-Tass news agency quoted Lavrov as saying during a meeting on Sunday.

"All attempts to present the situation differently are rather shady, even for the diplomacy of those countries that are known for striving to distort facts in their own favor."

He said the priority was to end the fighting in Syria, not to discuss the fate of one man.

"Our position on Syria is well-known," he said. Reiterating the line that Russian officials have used repeatedly, he said: "Moscow does not stick to Assad or to some other figure on the Syrian political scene."

He repeated Russia's opposition to a repeat of what happened in Libya, where "our NATO colleagues grossly distorted the mandate granted to them by a U.N. Security Council resolution ... and launched a fight against the existing power."

He said countries that criticized Russia and China for vetoing U.N. Security Council resolutions on Syria were "dishonest".

U.S. and Russian talks with Brahimi were resuming in Geneva on Sunday but gave no details other than to repeat that Russia had set no pre-conditions for the talks.

Droopys Hope to be star of the show in Williamhill.com Oaks - 4th Quarter-final at Wimbledon

By virtue of an outstanding performance in the first round, Droopys Hope has stormed into the quarter-final stage of Williamhill.com Oaks at Wimbledon. The fourth quarter-final will see her facing five speedy hounds on Saturday.

E. McNair?s charge is in great form at the moment. After showing her magic at Sheffield, she reached here early in November. By running well in a couple of trials, she gained good momentum, which she utilised in the last two encounters.

On her latest journey, the black bitch demonstrated a fascinating show. She started her run from the sixth box, and stayed ahead all the way through. An excellent effort guided her to an easy 4?-length triumph.

The daughter of Ace Hi Rumble is in superb rhythm at the moment, and could easily dominate the proceedings here. The draw is not in her favour, but she is expected to build on her first-round success.

Other hounds in the pack are: Skate On, Ballintine Molly, Russelena Barbie, Jaytee Monroe, and Sherrys Rebound. The race will be run over 480 metres. It is scheduled to start at 21:10 GMT. The successful hound will get a prize of 150 pounds.

Russelena Barbie is facing strong opposition than the first round. So, it will be very hard for her to grab the first rank, although the draw is a plus. Skate On is a dangerous runner, but has no margin for error. The brindle bitch needs to stay on top of her game throughout, in order to challenge Droopys Hope.

Sherrys Rebound needs everything to fall right. The black bitch ran well on her promotion to this class last time, when finishing second to Skate On only by half a length. Ballintine Molly stays well, and loves this track. Yet, she could only be able to claim the third place behind Droopys Hope and Skate On.

Jaytee Monroe is a strong bitch, but this situation is likely to get the better of her. The brindle bitch, P. Young?s trainee, is facing a stern test, and only an upset would save her from defeat. Good luck to all the participants.

El Paso coach, counselor arrested in drug case

El Paso County sheriff's deputies arrested an assistant coach and an elementary counselor on Thursday for allegedly possessing cocaine, authorities said.

On Thursday, Raul Gomez and Joe Paul Solis were arrested for possession of a controlled substance, deputies said.

Gomez, 59, is an assistant girls basketball coach for Del Valle High School in the Ysleta Independent School District.

Solis, 43, is employed as a counselor at Frank Macias Elementary School in the Clint Independent School District.

Sheriff's deputies arrested and booked both men into El Paso County Jail on Thursday.

Gomez was arrested on suspicion of possessing between 4 grams and 200 grams of a controlled substance. His bond was set at $12,000.

Solis was arrested on suspicion of possessing between 1 gram and 4 grams of cocaine. His bond was set at $5,000.

Both were released Friday.

Del Valle football coach and campus athletic coordinator Jesse Perales said he did not know about the situation and referred all questions and comments to the Ysleta district spokeswoman, Patricia Ayala.

Ayala said officials were aware of the arrest and said the district would take appropriate action to ensure the safety of the students.

Laura Cade, spokeswoman for the Clint district, said officials were looking into the matter.

"The district will take appropriate action in accordance with district policy once the matter has been carefully reviewed,"

Cade said.

It was unknown whether either employee would be suspended without pay, officials said.

Dallas Journalist Melts Down On Twitter Following Michael Young Trade

Michael Young was traded away from the Rangers this afternoon, and his number one fans, also known as the local sports media circuit, were a little upset. Chief among those angered was Evan Grant, the beat writer for the Dallas Morning News. Grant has had issues in the past with impartiality when it comes to Young and his true impact on the field. You might remember him as the guy who voted Young for MVP in 2011 based on things like "leadership" and "character." Never mind that his actual numbers (.854 OPS, 3.7 WAR) made him woefully unqualified for the award. He ignored Young's awful 2012 campaign as a "slump," despite posting the worst WAR in all of baseball.

Grant was always quick to defend Young for his two different trade demands after the Rangers had asked him to move positions, referring to the incidents as "sacrifices" for the betterment the team.

So, when word came down Young was to be shipped to the Phillies, Grant took to Twitter to defend his guy in the face of ungrateful fans. Here's what he had to say:

That last one about staying classy is interesting, considering Grant had tweeted this just a few minutes earlier:

So, to recap: getting excited about a tragedy because your Sunday sports section will be packed? Totally cool. Mentioning that a player had complained twice about having to move positions? Classless. Glad that's all settled.
