OH republicans won?t join in vote-rigging scheme, ending dreams of GOP coup

A Republican plan to rig the next presidential race by changing the way electoral votes are allocated in several key blue states appears to be dead in Ohio ? although it could still advance in other Republican-controlled states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin. Several of the senior-most Republican officials in Ohio told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that they do not intend to push the GOP election-rigging plan:

Spokesmen for Gov. John Kasich, State Senate President Keith Faber and House Speaker William G. Batchelder told The Plain Dealer this week that they are not pursuing plans to award electoral votes proportionally by congressional district.

Batchelder went a step further, saying through his communications director that he ?is not supportive of such a move.? And Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted, the state?s chief elections administrator, emphasized that he does not favor the plan either, despite Democratic suspicions based on reported comments that he said were taken out of context.

?Nobody in Ohio is advocating this,? Husted said in a telephone interview.

Although the death of this election-rigging plan in Ohio is an important victory for the principle that Americans choose their own leaders ? and do not have them chosen for them by partisans in state capitols ? there is still very real danger Republicans could push this plan in other states. Michigan House Speaker Jase Bolger (R) indicated he is open to the election-rigging plan late last week, and Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) and state Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R) both support rigging the Electoral College.

Flu myths and legends: Five common flu misconceptions dispelled

Jan. 28, 2013 ? It seems you can't go anywhere these days without hearing "the flu this" or "the flu that." Unfortunately, this season's influenza outbreak is one of the worst in years. And it's not just the flu virus that's causing problems; there are also many myths about the flu that are keeping people from doing more to prevent it. Mayo Clinic infectious diseases and vaccine expert Gregory Poland, M.D., dispels some of the most common:

Myth No. 1: Flu vaccines can give me the flu

False. Injectable flu vaccines are composed of pieces of inactivated flu proteins -- and it's impossible for them to "cause" flu. The nasal spray vaccine has live flu organisms weakened so they cannot multiply or cause disease.

Myth No. 2: Flu shots never work anyway, so why bother?

Also false. When there is a good match between the viruses causing disease and those in the vaccine, protection is excellent in otherwise healthy people. Protection is lower if you are unhealthy or in the frail elderly group. But vaccines are like seat belts: They are not perfect but they are the best protection we have against serious injury and death.

Myth No. 3: Flu vaccines are dangerous, especially for pregnant women

Also false. Concerns about pregnant women getting vaccinated began when women were advised not to get any kind of vaccination during pregnancy, Dr. Poland says. Today's flu vaccines are safe for expectant mothers and highly recommended. A recent large study demonstrated significant increases in maternal death among unvaccinated women infected with influenza. However, because they have not been studied in pregnant women, pregnant women should stay away from nasal flu vaccines, which do contain live, weakened flu virus, Dr. Poland says.

Myth No. 4: It's too late to get vaccinated

Again, false. While it's always better to get vaccinated before flu season begins -- it can take about two weeks for the vaccination to take full effect -- it's never too late to get a flu vaccine, Dr. Poland says. Even if you didn't get vaccinated and caught the flu, get a flu vaccine to protect yourself against the other strains that are circulating, Dr. Poland says.

Myth No. 5: It's just the flu. What's the big deal?

Once again, false. While it might be "just" the flu, Dr. Poland says we should still be concerned, regardless of our age or physical condition. In an average year, up to 40,000 Americans die from influenza and its complications, and over 250,000 are hospitalized. Millions are sick, miss school, work, and important events and spend money on over-the-counter "cold remedies." Complications and death are particularly frequent in infants and young children, those with chronic medical conditions, the elderly, pregnant women and people who are obese. Health care providers also should get immunized to prevent spreading flu to vulnerable patients, Dr. Poland says.

"No one should confuse influenza with a "minor illness." Serious complications and death result every year due to flu. Vaccines, while imperfect, offer the best protection available for you and your family, as well as others you come in contact with," says Dr. Poland, the Mary Lowell Leary Professor of Medicine and director of the Vaccine Research Group at Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Poland offers these tips for sidestepping illness:

*Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently with soap and warm water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer, particularly before leaving a restroom, eating or touching your face. Wash your hands for about 20 seconds, about as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday." When visiting a public restroom, use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and open the door when leaving.

*Keep your vaccines up to date: Besides the seasonal flu shot, the most important ones include the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella and a relatively new vaccine called Tdap, for tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis, or whooping cough.

*Don't smoke: It can make you more susceptible to illness in general.

*Be an advocate for your health: If someone near you is ill, move away or ask to be reseated, if you can. If a server's hands touch your food or the rim of your glass, don't be embarrassed or hesitant about asking for a new serving or moving on and eating elsewhere.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) ? Novak Djokovic became the first man in the Open era to win three consecutive Australian titles when he beat Andy Murray 6-7 (2), 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-2 in Sunday's final.

Little wonder he loves Rod Laver Arena.

"It's definitely my favorite Grand Slam," he said. "It's an incredible feeling winning this trophy once more. I love this court."

Djokovic has won four of his six major titles at Melbourne Park, where he is now unbeaten in 21 matches.

Nine other men had won back-to-back titles in Australia over 45 years, but none were able to claim three in a row.

Only two other men, American Jack Crawford (1931-33) and Australian Roy Emerson (1963-67), have won three or more consecutive Australian championships.

Born a week apart in May 1987 and friends since their junior playing days, Djokovic and Murray played like they knew each other's game very well in a rematch of last year's U.S. Open final. There were no service breaks until the eighth game of the third set, when Djokovic finally broke through and then held at love to lead by two sets to one.

Djokovic earned two more service breaks in the fourth set, including one to take a 4-1 lead when U.S. Open champion Murray double-faulted on break point.

"It's been an incredible match as we could have expected," Djokovic said. "When we play each other, it's always, we push each other to the limit and I think those two sets went over two hours, 15 minutes, physically I was just trying to hang in there. Play my game and focus on every point."

The 25-year-old Serb didn't rip his shirt off this time, as he did to celebrate his epic 5-hour, 53-minute win over Rafael Nadal in last year's final. He just did a little dance, looked up to the sky and then applauded the crowd after the 3-hour, 40-minute match.

Murray's win over Djokovic in the U.S. Open final last year ended a 76-year drought for British men at the majors, but he still is yet to make a breakthrough in Australia after losing a third final here in the last four years.

Djokovic's win went against the odds of recent finals at Melbourne Park. In four of the past five years, the player who won the second of the semifinals has finished on top in the championship match. But this year, Djokovic played his semifinal on Thursday ? an easy 89-minute minute win over No. 4-seeded David Ferrer. Murray needed five energy sapping sets to beat 17-time major winner Roger Federer on Friday night.

"You don't wake up the next day and feel perfect, obviously," Murray said of the Federer match. "It's the longest match I played in six months probably. It obviously wasn't an issue today. I started the match well. I thought I moved pretty good throughout."

The win consolidated Djokovic's position as the No. 1-ranked player in the world, while Federer and Murray will be second and third when the ATP rankings are released Monday.

Their last two matches in Grand Slams ? Murray's five-set win at last year's U.S. Open and Djokovic's victory here last year in five in the semifinals ? had a total of 35 service breaks.

It was a vastly different, more tactical battle on Sunday, with the first two tight sets decided in tiebreakers.

"All our matches in last three years have been decided in a very few points, so it's really hard to say if I've done anything different," Djokovic said. "I tried to be more aggressive. So I went for my shots, especially in the third and fourth; came to the net quite often. I was quite successful in that percentage, so it worked well for me."

Murray, who called for a trainer to retape blisters on his right foot at the end of the second set, was visibly annoyed by noise from the crowd during his service games in the third set, stopping his service motion twice until the crowd quieted down. After dropping the third set, he complained about the noise to chair umpire John Blom.

"It's just a bit sore when you're running around," Murray said. "It's not like pulling a calf muscle or something. It just hurts when you run."

Djokovic came from 0-40 down in the second game of the second set to hold his serve, something he called "definitely one of the turning points."

"He missed an easy backhand and I think mentally I just relaxed after that," Djokovic said. "I just felt I'm starting to get into the rhythm that I wanted to. I was little more aggressive and started to dictate the play."

Although Djokovic went into the match with a 10-7 lead in head-to-heads, Murray had beaten Djokovic five out of eight times in tiebreakers, and that improved to six of nine after four unforced errors by Djokovic to end the first set.

Djokovic pegged back that edge in the second set, when Murray also didn't help his cause by double-faulting to give Djokovic a 3-2 lead, and the Serbian player didn't trail again in the tiebreaker.

On the double-fault, Murray had to stop as he was about to serve to pick up a feather that had fallen on the court.

"I could have served, it just caught my eye before I served ... I thought it was a good idea to move it," he said.

"Maybe it wasn't because I obviously double faulted. At this level it can come down to just a few points here or there. My probably biggest chance was at the beginning of the second set; (I) didn't quite get it. When Novak had his chance at the end of the third, he got his."

Djokovic will have little time to savor the win ? he's playing Davis Cup for Serbia next weekend against Belgium.

"It's going to be a lot of fun ... to see how I can adjust to clay court in indoor conditions, playing away Davis Cup, which is always tricky," he said.

Andre Agassi was among those in the capacity crowd ? the four-time Australian champion's first trip Down Under in nearly 10 years ? and he later presented the trophy to Djokovic.

Victoria Azarenka, who won Saturday's women's singles final over Li Na, was also there with her boyfriend rapper Redfoo. Actor Kevin Spacey met in the dressing room with both players ahead of the match and later tweeted a photo of himself with them.

In the earlier mixed doubles final Sunday, wild-card entrants Jarmila Gajdosova and Matthew Ebden of Australia beat the Czech pair of Lucie Hradecka and Frantisek Cermak 6-3, 7-5.

Strong start to earnings lifts FTSE

LONDON (Reuters) - The FTSE 100 rose on Wednesday with strong earnings from Unilever marking a positive start to the full-year results season.

The global consumer goods firm alone provided almost three points of a seven point gain on the FTSE 100 index, its 2.7 percent rise in strong volume leading blue-chip gainers.

Unilever earlier reported underlying sales growth of 6.9 percent for 2012, beating forecasts of 6.5 percent, propelled by double-digit growth in emerging markets.

"They've put in a stellar set of results," Basil Petrides, trader at Hartmann Capital, said, although with the stock at all-time highs, he was looking for a dip before buying.

At 1132 GMT, the FTSE 100 index was up 6.86 points, or 0.1 percent, at 6,186.03 points. Ex-dividend factors clipped 1.97 points off the index, with contractor caterer Compass Group and utility Scottish & Southern Energy both trading without entitlement to their latest payouts.

BHP Billiton also lent strength after posting results, up 1.1 percent and providing 2.4 points of the index's gains.

The global miner boosted iron ore output by 3 percent in the December quarter, racing to supply more of the raw material to Chinese steelmakers despite signs of a softening market.

BHP's advance helped to lift the heavyweight mining sector to gains of 0.3 percent.

This week has seen the earnings season - already well under way in the United States - start in earnest in Europe.

In the U.S. so far, 68 percent of companies have met or beaten expectations, with 61 percent of UK companies at least meeting expectations.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose to a fresh five-year closing high on Wall Street on Tuesday after Google and IBM posted encouraging results.

"We're still in a bull market on the FTSE. All the focus is on the U.S. earnings, which have been surprisingly good, and that's what's driving the markets at the moment, with decent earnings from the UK supporting sentiment as well," Fawad Razaqzada, market strategist at GFT, said.

"There is no reason that the market should be going down at this stage."

Global stocks were also supported after Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives said they aimed to pass a bill to extend the U.S. debt limit on Wednesday.

The White House said this would remove uncertainty about the issue, although Razaqzada said that while the move was supportive, some sort of a deal to avoid catastrophic default was already priced in.

Do Animals in Chernobyl?s Fallout Zone Glow?

In the Chernobyl exclusion zone, Valentina Sachepok (right) points out herbs to author Mary Mycio.

Courtesy Mary Mycio.

Valentina Sachepok darted ahead while I chased her through a forest in the exclusion zone surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

A camera crew followed us; they were shooting a documentary about the babushkas of Chernobyl. The 1986 disaster forced the permanent evacuation of 300,000 people, but a smattering of women still live semi-legally in their old homes.

Sachepok, a retired nurse in her 60s with tufts of gray hair peering from under a maroon kerchief, didn?t walk but trotted, sprinting abruptly while the rest of us scrambled to keep up. After collecting fat yellow mushrooms from a clump of moss, she led me to a pine tree. ?This one is for the hedgehog,? she said of the spiny creature beloved in Slavic folktales. She pierced a mushroom on a pine branch close to the ground.

That?s where radioactivity is highest these days. The explosion and fire here spewed the equivalent of at least 20 Hiroshima bombs? worth of radiation, mostly within about 25 miles of the reactor building. The most radioactive isotopes have long since decayed, and rain has washed the rest into the soil and the food chain. Two of the most persistent isotopes are cesium-137, which chemically mimics potassium, and strontium-90, which imitates calcium in living things. As these isotopes have been taken up by plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria, radioactivity is no longer on the zone, but of it.

This is a unique ecosystem, twice the size of Rhode Island and about evenly divided between Belarus and Ukraine. A generation after most humans abandoned the area, forests and wetlands have consumed once-tended fields, villages, and towns. Only the occasional carcasses of crumbling buildings mutely testify to the former occupants.

Sachepok stuck another mushroom a foot higher on the tree. ?That?s for the roe deer. It?s hard for them to find food under the snow.? The late October day was still warm, but Ukraine?s winters are frigid.

Few wild animals lived in the region in 1986; their habitats had been destroyed for Soviet dairy farms and pine plantations. But large mammals started appearing almost immediately after the evacuations, and the animal populations soon exploded.

Roe deer and wild boar caught here in the early 1990s packed more than 2,000 times the safety norms for cesium-137 in meat. Though internal radiation levels have since dropped dramatically, some animals recently tested in Belarus still exceeded safe levels by dozens of times.

But in a surprise to just about everyone, the animals all looked physically normal. The same was true of other species tested?radioactive but normal-looking. The few known exceptions include albino spots and some deformities in barn swallows.

Standing up straight, Sachepok pierced the highest mushroom. ?And this is for the moose.?

Of the dozen moose sightings I?ve had in my lifetime, all were in the exclusion zone, where in the course of many journeys I?ve spent more than a month?s time researching my book Wormwood Forest: A Natural History of Chernobyl. It?s a strange and beautiful place where I?ve spotted wolves in broad daylight; lynx tracks in the snow; and huge herds of boar, roe deer, and elk. I?m still drawn back.

Sachepok smiled with more mischief than seemed possible for a lone woman in a radioactive no-man?s land. ?The animals all know me,? she said, a gold tooth glinting, before lecturing me on healthy living, including avoiding what she called the ?zombie box??television.

I think she meant it politically. Ukrainian TV is pure propaganda. But when it comes to Chernobyl, it is only a matter of time before zombies or mutants come up. Whenever I tell anyone about my encounters with Chernobyl wildlife, the questions are always the same: Do they have two heads? Do they glow? Do you glow?

Actually, in the early years, when contaminated dust coated everything, researchers found countless examples of the monstrous mutations imagined in 1950s horror movies: malformations, dwarfism, gigantism, strange growths, and, yes, even some glowing.

But those effects were seen only in plants. While Attack of the Giant Leaves doesn?t seem as horrible as the Creature With the Atom Brain, no one has ever found seriously deformed wild animals (or zombies) after the Chernobyl accident. Mutant animals born in the wild die or get eaten before they can be discovered. Whatever the biological costs of radiation to individuals, the fittest survived.

Chernobyl?s abundant and surprisingly normal-looking wildlife has shaken up how biologists think about the environmental effects of radioactivity. The idea that the world?s biggest radioactive wasteland could become Europe?s largest wildlife sanctuary is completely counterintuitive for anyone raised on nuclear dystopias.

The news isn?t good for all animals. Many species that like human company?swallows, white storks, pigeons?mostly left the region along with the people. Also, small creatures seem to be more vulnerable to the effects of radiation than large ones. That may be why Chernobyl rodents studied in the 1990s had shorter life spans and smaller litters than their counterparts outside the zone. Stag beetles had uneven horns. But it didn?t affect their population numbers.

And because the health of wild animal species is usually judged by their numbers rather than the conditions of individuals, Chernobyl wildlife is considered healthy. According to all the population counts performed by Ukraine and Belarus over the past 27 years, there is enormous animal diversity and abundance. The prevailing scientific view of the exclusion zone has become that it is an unintentional wildlife sanctuary. This conclusion rests on the premise that radiation is less harmful to wildlife populations than we are.

In an effort to challenge that view, biologists Timothy Mousseau of the University of South Carolina and Anders Moller of the University of Paris have published a series of papers claiming that populations of insects, birds, and mammals are declining in Chernobyl?s most contaminated regions. They also contend that birds avoid nesting in highly radioactive areas. They dismiss contrary reports of animal abundance as anecdotes.

Goldman officials get over $100 million in stock-filings

(Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc awarded 22 senior executives and board members more than 736,000 restricted shares worth nearly $104 million as part of their 2012 bonuses, according to securities filings on Friday.

Goldman Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein received 94,320 restricted shares, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. The shares were worth $13.3 million as of Goldman's closing price of $141.01 on Thursday, when the shares were granted.

The award was 53 percent larger than the 61,702 restricted shares Blankfein received last year when Goldman's shares traded at $113.45.

But Blankfein did not get the biggest award. Vice Chairman Michael Sherwood, who is co-head of Goldman's international division, received 109,461, according to a separate filing. That award was worth $15.4 million as of Thursday's closing price of $141.01.

The stock awards for executives will be delivered in three equal installments through 2016 and generally cannot be sold for five years. For board members, the shares will be delivered on the first trading day of the third quarter the year after they retire.

Chief Operating Officer Gary Cohn and outgoing Chief Financial Officer David Viniar each received 85,136 restricted shares worth $12 million. Vice Chairmen Michael Evans, who is global head of growth markets, and John Weinberg, who is a co-head of investment banking, each received 75,208 restricted shares worth $10.6 million.

Mark Schwartz, a vice chairman and chairman of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific who re-joined Goldman in June, received 37,428 restricted shares worth $5.3 million.

Chief Accounting Officer Sarah Smith received 36,594 shares worth $5.2 million, while General Counsel Greg Palm received 29,998 shares worth $4.2 million. Chief of Staff John Rogers received 28,509 shares worth $4 million, Global Head of Human Capital Management Edith Cooper received 26,382 shares worth $3.7 million and Global Head of Compliance Alan Cohen received 24,254 shares worth $3.4 million.

Goldman's 10 board members also received restricted stock awards ranging from 589 shares worth $83,055 for Mark Tucker, the CEO of the Asian life insurer AIA Group Ltd, who joined Goldman's board in November, to 3,829 shares worth roughly $539,927 for lead director James Schiro.

Altogether, the directors received 28,741 restricted shares worth $4.1 million on Thursday, when they were granted.

Green Blog: A Gentle Giant of a Catfish Fades From Sight

The captain leaned heavily into his pole, nudging the boat?s nose off the sandy bank.? As the boat swung into the swift current of the Mekong, he scrambled back behind the wheel, the engine roared, and we resumed our downstream journey toward Luang Prabang, Laos.

After a few minutes, we motored through a section of river where the channel was flanked on both sides by knifelike boulders and outcrops.

?That looks like a dragon?s back,? I said, pointing to an arching curve of rocky plates.

Our guide, Peng, laughed and said, ?People say there is a dragon in the river.?

?The Naga?? I asked.? While wandering a riverside town the night before we started the trip, I?d seen statues of these Naga serpent dragons flanking the entrance of a Buddhist temple.

?Yes. When someone drowns while fishing or boating, the people say that the Naga took them.?

But the Naga is also beneficial and is considered the divine protector of Luang Prabang and, by extension, all of Laos. Each year, just before the rainy season, the city holds the Boun Bang Fai festival to bring rain and to encourage the Naga to leave the river and follow the rising water into the rice fields (something that the river fish actually do).? Several months later, another festival is held to induce the Naga to return to the river.

At the same temple where I?d seen the mythical Naga, I had also found a vibrant mural depicting real river creatures, including a Mekong giant catfish ? a species that seems at once both biological and mythological ? adjacent to a small shrine with a Buddha statue.? Knowing that the catfish undertake long-distance river migrations, I?d taken it as a good omen that I?d stumbled across this scene on the eve of our departure.

Peng grew up in a fishing family, so I asked him about the temple and the catfish mural. He replied, ?They are very important fish. We used to catch many of them here, but not for several years.?

His experience echoes scientists? reports: the populations of these giant catfish have declined precipitously, by an estimated 90 percent in the last 20 years. Being large-bodied fish that require several years to reach reproductive maturity, the giant catfish are quite vulnerable to fishing pressures, whether the fishermen are directly pursuing the giants or unintentionally snaring them in their nets.

They are large-bodied fish indeed, attaining dimensions that are truly staggering.? A giant catfish caught in northern Thailand in 2005 weighed 650 pounds and measured nearly nine feet long, ranking as the biggest freshwater fish ever caught.? Scientists estimate that the largest individuals may weigh up to 100 pounds more than the record holder.

Although it?s fun to compare its dimensions to that of a grizzly bear, a more appropriate comparison might be to a moose, as the giant catfish is an herbivore that feeds on algae.

The people of Mekong basin generally revere the gentle giants, although this has both negative and positive consequences.? While governments have been quick to impose fishing bans, some people believe that eating their flesh will bring a lifetime of good luck, driving up the price for those that remain.

The giant catfish undertake a long spawning migration and, on our three-week trip, we?ll be tracing their path in reverse.? And not just the catfish, but hundreds of species are migrating now, right down to the sardine-sized trey riel (a fish so economically important that the Cambodian currency is called the riel).? As we follow the river downstream, beneath our boat an immense river of fish will be flowing in the opposite direction, swimming upstream to spawn.

This river of fish is being pumped out by Cambodia?s Tonle Sap (Great Lake), where we?ll end our trip.? The Tonle Sap, which expands and contracts dramatically each year with the arrival and then departure of the rain, is the central factory for fish production in the Mekong.

But thinking smaller, we?ve lugged my son?s fishing rod all the way from Ohio and, despite two days alongside this river of fish, we?ve yet to get more than a few bites.? Admittedly, neither Luca nor I know how to fish in the Mekong, and nets, not rods, definitely appear to be the method of choice in the muddy currents of the river.

Early that afternoon, we reached the village where we?d be staying the night.? Fully aware of my limitations and eager for Luca to catch some fish, I talked with Peng about bringing in some experts, which in this part of the world is pretty much any person over the age of 6.

Peng and the boat captain got right to work, cutting and stripping four-foot bamboo poles and then tying a line and hook to each.? These were baited with maggots, and then we pushed the poles into the muddy river bottom in about chest deep water.

Having set the line of poles, we then ventured out under a blazing afternoon sun to work the beach with cast nets.? Both Peng and the captain had a net.? Moving upstream along the beach, the men would periodically stop, methodically gather up their nets in their arms, coil their bodies clockwise, and then explode toward the river.? The nets burst from their bodies and formed a near-perfect circle just before hitting the water surface.

These various methods produced six small fish and one foot-long black shark minnow, a type of carp.

That night we dined in the house of the headman, and the shark minnow was featured as a fish curry -? bony, but tender and delicious.? A generator roared out back.? After dinner, most of the village gathered in the headman?s living room ? or peered through his windows ? to watch Thai soap operas.

Paola and the kids and I were exhausted, so we left mid-show and climbed the steep stairs to the single open bedroom above.?Two mattresses had been unrolled onto the floor for us, draped by mosquito nets.? We climbed in bed and dozed off. Over the next few hours, family members spanning three generations filtered in and out of the room.? Eventually everyone was asleep and the house fell quiet.

The local roosters seemed intent to break free from stereotype and they crowed off and on throughout the night.? At one point, probably around 3 a.m., it sounded like all the cats and all the dogs of the village were facing off against each other, ?West Side Story?-like. Despite all the ruckus, I slept better than I had all trip.

Stock index futures point to lower open on Wall Street, Boeing in focus

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures pointed to a lower open on Wall Street on Wednesday, with futures for the S&P 500 down 0.3 percent, Dow Jones futures off 0.2 percent and the Nasdaq 100 contract 0.1 percent lower at 0922 GMT.

Banks <.sx7p> will be in focus, with results due from several big names, including BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Of the S&P 500 <.spx> companies that have reported to date, 25 percent have missed fourth-quarter earnings forecasts and 29 percent have undershot on revenues, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine data.

Shares in General Motors fell after the bell on Tuesday after the automaker said it expects operating profit to rise "modestly" this year - a comment that is expected to prompt analysts to downgrade their forecasts.

Boeing will be in focus on concerns about the safety of its Dreamliner. Japan's two leading airlines grounded their fleets of 787s on Wednesday after one of the passenger jets made an emergency landing.

India will decide on whether to ground national carrier Air India's Dreamliner jets after the U.S. company submits a report on the aircraft's safety.

Global growth concerns remain in the spotlight after the World Bank slashed its economic forecasts for developed nations this year.

A plunge in European car sales in December added to the gloom.

U.S. December inflation figures are due at 1330 GMT, followed by industrial output at 1415 GMT.

The Dow Jones industrial average <.dji> added 27.57 points, or 0.20 percent, to 13,534.89 on Tuesday, while the S&P 500 <.spx> gained 1.66 points, or 0.11 percent, to 1,472.34 after stronger-than-expected retail data.

Tech heavyweight Apple dragged on the Nasdaq for a third day <.ixic>, with the index falling 0.2 percent.

Major European indexes edged lower on Wednesday, after recent gains took them to multi-month highs <.fteu3><.eu>. Profit taking also pushed Japan's Nikkei benchmark to its biggest one-day drop in eight months <.n225>.

Four planets in 'habitable zones' spotted within spitting distance of Earth

Astronomers say they used a new statistical technique to find four possible super-Earths orbiting in the habitable zone of two stars within 22 light-years of Earth, Gliese 667C and tau Ceti.

By Pete Spotts,?Staff writer / December 19, 2012

This diagram shows an artist's rendering comparing our own solar system to Kepler-22, a star system containing the first 'habitable zone' planet discovered by NASA's Kepler mission. The 'habitable zone' is a region where under the right conditions, liquid water can form stable pools on the surface.

Three of those candidate planets are among a tightly packed clutch of five that orbit Gliese 667C, part of a triple-star system 22 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. The other possible planet is one of five orbiting tau Ceti, a sun-like star 12 light-years away in the constellation Cetus.

Taken together, the detections not only add to accumulating evidence that planets look to be more common than stars ? and that planets in habitable zones could be more common than previously thought, some of researchers reporting the finds say.

The finds also illustrate the power of improved statistical tools to boldly uncover candidate planets where no planet had been found before.

The evidence for these candidate planets requires independent confirmation, the researchers caution.?Still, the tools represent "a real breakthrough," says Steven Vogt, an astronomer at the University of California at Santa Cruz and a member of the team reporting the results for tau Ceti. The approach the team took leaves only about one chance in 3 million that the detections could herald something other than a planet.

Since the mid-1990s, astronomers have bagged more than 850 extra-solar planets. The ultimate goal is to find rocky planets with Earth-like masses orbiting within their stars' habitable zones ? a region where under the right conditions, liquid water can form stable pools on the surface. Liquid water is considered an essential ingredient for organic life.

Different groups of astronomers had aimed three telescopes for various lengths of time at tau Ceti and found nothing. Led by Mikko Tuomi at the University of Hertfordshire in Britain, the team reporting this latest analysis applied relatively new statistical tools to the combined data from these telescopes.

The result: "Five planets came out: boom, boom, boom, boom, boom ... as clear as a bell," Dr. Vogt says.

Tau Ceti has about 78 percent of our own sun's mass, but its composition is quite similar, Dr. Tuomi's team reports. Its candidate planets range from 2 to 6.6 times Earth's mass.

The innermost object orbits the star once every 14 days, while the outermost takes 642 days to make its circuit. The fourth planet from the star, with a 168-day orbit, travels well within a zone where liquid water could remain stable on the planet's surface, the team estimates. However, the results don't speak directly to what the planets are made of.?

A similar story has played out for Philip Gregory, an astronomer at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Previous researchers had found two planets orbiting Gliese 667C, a red dwarf with 31 percent of the sun's mass. Using a broadly similar statistical approach, he reports detecting the initial two, plus three more planets. Three of the five fall within the star's habitable zone, he estimates.

Aaron Swartz & A Culture of Denial: Depression & Suicide in Tech ...

Aaron Swartz, 26, an Internet developer and activist, committed suicide last week. The tech world has since been ablaze commenting and speculating on his life? and his death.

While many people point to the cause of his death connected to the overzealous prosecution by U.S. District Attorney Carmen Ortiz, it?s unlikely that a single thing led to his decision. If Aaron Swartz was like most of the 100 people every day who take their own lives in this country, the biggest thing that likely led to his death was untreated or under-treated depression.

Which comes as no surprise to people who knew him and have written about him. Nor after reading his own struggles with depression earlier in his life.

His passing is indeed a tragedy. But it?s time to realize that he lived and thrived in a technology sub-culture that mostly doesn?t understand ? or care much ? about mental illness.

While loved ones often search for answers after someone they know takes their own life, the answers are never very satisfying. In Aaron Swartz?s case, it appears that the jump to the cause and effect conclusion that his legal troubles led to his decision is overly simplistic. Young adults get into legal troubles all the time ? especially in certain disadvantaged parts of this country. The vast majority of them don?t take their own lives.

But we know that in most cases of suicide what is nearly always present is a history of clinical depression. And at the time the person has taken their life, it is depression that is either not being treated at all, or being treated inadequately. Swartz seemed to understand this, as he thought a great deal about depression, and linked to this description by George Scialabba:

Certainty that an acute episode [of depression] will last only a week, a month, even a year, would change everything. It would still be a ghastly ordeal, but the worst thing about it?the incessant yearning for death, the compulsion toward suicide?would drop away. But no, a limited depression, a depression with hope, is a contradiction. The experience of convulsive pain, along with the conviction that it will never end except in death?that is the definition of a severe depression.

Clinical depression ? like all mental disorders ? is exacerbated by stress. The more stress you have in your life, the worse the problem is usually going to get. Getting the book thrown at you by a federal prosecutor and facing the possibility of months (the last plea deal the U.S. Attorney was said to have offered was 6 months) or even years in jail is stressful. To a sensitive, brilliant person ? as Aaron Swartz was reported to have been ? it was probably beyond stressful.

Put those two together ? depression and a huge stressor ? and you have the recipe for a classic case of suicide.

And some people picked up on his down mood, as danah boyd said:

I knew he was struggling, but he was also a passionate activist and I genuinely thought that would see him through this dark period.

Which is a sentence we read time and time again from friends or family members after someone takes their own life. ?I knew he was struggling?? and yet? I thought he would be okay.

Silicon Valley is a Culture of Denial & High Stress

Not surprising, for people who are predisposed to depression, some work environments are not ideal. Wall Street, for example, is not a good place to work for a person with depression. Neither is Silicon Valley or really in any startup.

Startups, by definition, are high-pressure work environments, where a small group of people (usually young, white males) work 18- or 20-hour days to produce a product or service they believe will be The Next Big Thing (ala Facebook).

But because startups don?t live in a protected bubble, they?re going to suffer from the same human problems any company comprised of ordinary humans is going to suffer ? people with mental illness. After all, 1 in 10 people among us have one. Silicon Valley and tech startups are no different.

As investor Brad Feld notes,

?Many entrepreneurs don?t feel like they can talk openly about their depression, as they don?t want their investors, employees, or customers to know they are struggling with it,? he says. ?For anyone who has been depressed, not being able to be open about it with the people around you makes depression even harder to deal with.?

Startups think they are ?special? because they have some money and an idea. What they often don?t realize is that when it comes to the messy human things ? like emotions or health problems ? they are just like every one of us.

Fixing the Problem

Every tech startup, every VC firm, and indeed, every workplace has the power to help reduce future suicides. All they need do is to stop tolerating discrimination and prejudice against those who have a mental illness. If someone speaks up about their own depression or other mental illness, they should be met with the same open empathy you might give someone who was just diagnosed with cancer or diabetes. You make adjustments to help them make it through this period of their lives.

This sounds easy, but is harder than you might realize. Stigma still exists in many parts of our society, and often found among people who don?t think twice about health problems. There are still many ? too many ? who believe mental illness is a ?made up? problem and that people can just help themselves out of the problem if they only put their mind to it.

There is hope ? there is always hope. If anything good can come from a tragedy like this, perhaps it is helping others to better understand the vicious cycle of depression ? one that can ultimately lead to suicide for some.

Pakistani forces fire in air at Islamabad protests

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani security forces fired in the air and used tear gas in the capital Islamabad on Tuesday to try and control protests led by an anti-government cleric who is believed to be backed by the military.

Live television coverage showed forces firing in the air - a serious escalation in attempts to control crowds - while supporters of Sufi cleric Muhammad Tahirul Qadri hurled stones at them.

Qadri's spokesman told Reuters the crowds had prevented government forces from arresting the cleric. He said six supporters of the cleric were wounded.

Qadri's call has divided Pakistanis. Some hold him up as a champion of reform, others see him as a possible stooge of the powerful military, which has a history of coups and interfering in elections.

The populist cleric, who says elections scheduled for this spring should be delayed indefinitely until Pakistan's endemic corruption is rooted out, may not pose any immediate threat to the U.S.-backed civilian government.

But his calls for sweeping reforms have weakened the ruling Pakistan Peoples' Party, which has failed to tackle a staggering array of problems - from a Taliban insurgency to crippling power cuts to widespread poverty.

Few believe Pakistan's military has the appetite for another coup, especially since the Supreme Court has been standing up to the generals.

But the army would be happy to see figures like Qadri highlight the government's flaws, and perhaps play a behind-the-scenes role supporting him, analysts say. The military denies backing Qadri.

Japan Approves $116 Billion for Urgent Economic Stimulus

?We will put an end to this shrinking, and aim to build a stronger economy where earnings and incomes can grow,? Mr. Abe told a televised news conference. ?For that, the government must first take the initiative to create demand, and boost the entire economy.?

Under the plan, the Japanese government will spend about 10.3 trillion yen (about $116 billion) on public works and disaster mitigation projects, subsidies for companies that invest in new technology and financial aid to small businesses.

The government will seek to raise real economic growth by 2 percentage points and add 600,000 jobs to the economy, Mr. Abe said. The measures announced Friday amount to one of the largest spending plans in Japan?s history, he stressed.

This is kind of an amazing plan here, because either it works and the Japanese economy basically recovers or it doesn?t work and the government goes broke and inflation spirals out of control and serious long-term collapse ensues within like five years. There?s basically no middle ground, if this gets implemented. Huge respect for Japanese voters and politicians for willing to take a big risk like this.

Google?s Schmidt Urges Open Web After North Korea Visit

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt has used a controversial visit to the pariah state of North Korea to urge that country?s leadership to open up more to the Internet.

Eric Schmidt was part of a US delegation led by former New Mexico state governor Bill Richardson, that visited Pyongyang earlier this week.

Open Internet

The US delegation had used the trip to talk with the leadership of North Korea over a number of topics, including its long range missile launches as well as its nuclear testing, both of which have prompted sanctions from the United Nations.

The delegation, described as a ?private humanitarian mission?, also sought to obtain the release of Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American held captive by North Korea.

?We enjoyed our trip to the DPRK, especially with the North Korean people, and we had a good opportunity to talk about expanding the internet and cell phones in the DPRK,? Richardson was reported as saying at Pyongyang airport.

?We strongly urged the North Koreans to proceed with a moratorium on ballistic missiles and a possible nuclear test, that it was important for this step to calm tensions in the peninsula,? Richardson, a former US ambassador to the UN, he later told journalists in China after returning from Pyongyang.

The delegation included Google?s chairman Eric Schmidt who, wearing his ?champion of the Internet? hat, urged his North Korean hosts to open up more to the Internet.

At the moment, North Korea is one of the least connected countries in the world, with the vast majority of the population not owning a computer. Even if North Korean citizens are able to get online, it is understood that they are only capable of accessing an internal North Korean intranet, and not the global Internet.

Eric Schmidt in North Korea?

?As the world becomes increasingly connected, their decision to be virtually isolated is very much going to affect their physical world, their economic growth and so forth, and it will make it harder for them to catch up economically,? Schmidt was quoted as saying by the BBC.

?Once the Internet starts, citizens in a country can certainly build on top of it,? he added. ?The government has to do something. It has to make it possible for people to use the internet which the government in North Korea has not yet done.?

Controversial Visit

The visit of the US delegation and Schmidt has proved to be controversial, especially in light of the recent actions undertaken by new leader Kim Jong Un, who took power a year ago.

Last month for example North Korea shot a satellite into space on a long-range rocket, a move that has potential long-reaching military implications in that region, and which prompted Japan to increase its military spending.

The State Department itself has reportedly criticised the trip by the delegation as ?unhelpful? and ill timed, as it comes amid US efforts to secure support for UN Security Council action.
