Activists: 7 killed in bomb blast in central Syria

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) ? A car bomb exploded near a mosque in the central Homs province Sunday, killing at least seven people, Syria's news agency and activists said.

Elsewhere, the Syrian military pounded rebel positions in fighting that has steadily intensified in recent weeks.

Homs has been a frequent battleground in the 20-month rebellion aimed at unseating President Bashar Assad.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the number of dead from the bombing may increase, because some of the wounded were in critical condition.

The SANA news agency did not refer to casualties, reporting that the bomb exploded Sunday near Omar Bin al-Khattab mosque in the al-Hamra neighborhood of Homs.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The increase in bombing attacks as part of the civil war has raised concerns that Islamist extremist groups like al-Qaida are taking a larger role on the side of the rebels.

The official SANA news agency claimed that on the outskirts of Homs, the Syrian army killed scores of rebels in an attack on their hideouts.

Also in Homs, two other people were killed, including a baby girl, the Observatory said.

The Syrian air force launched airstrikes on the northern city of Aleppo, some cities in the northern province of Idlib, the Mediterranean city of Latakia and the southern part of the capital Damascus and its suburbs, the Observatory said.

In Damascus suburbs, it said two people were killed, including a member of the rebel Free Syrian Army, shot dead by a sniper in the Hetytet al-Turkman area. It said the other was a civilian who was caught in an exchange of fire.

On Saturday, Syrian troops backed by attack helicopters clashed with rebels, as government forces pressed a major offensive on villages and towns near the Damascus international airport, activists said.

Activists say at least 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict, which began with pro-democracy protests but has turned into a civil war.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Republicans have to stop using "political math" and say how much they are willing to raise tax rates on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans and then specify the spending cuts they want, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said in an interview that aired Sunday.

Just four weeks from the proverbial "fiscal cliff," House Speaker John Boehner countered that Republicans have a plan for providing as much as $800 billion in new government revenue over the next decade and would consider the elimination of tax deductions on high-income earners. But when pressed on "Fox News Sunday" for precise details, the Ohio Republican declined to say.

There are "a lot of options in terms of how to get there," Boehner said.

Both Boehner's and Geithner's latest remarks indicate it could be some time before serious negotiations begin between the White House and Republicans on how to avert economic calamity expected in less than a month when President George W. Bush-era tax cuts expire and automatic, across-the-board spending cuts kick in.

Last week, the White House delivered to Capitol Hill its opening plan: $1.6 trillion in higher taxes over a decade, hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending, a possible extension of the temporary Social Security payroll tax cut and enhancing the president's power to raise the national debt limit.

In exchange, the president would back $600 billion in spending cuts, including $350 billion from Medicare and other health programs. But he also wants $200 billion in new spending for jobless benefits, public works projects and aid for struggling homeowners. His proposal for raising the ceiling on government borrowing would make it virtually impossible for Congress to block him.

Republicans said they responded in closed-door meetings with laughter and disbelief.

"I was just flabbergasted," Boehner said. "I looked at him (Geithner) and I said, 'You can't be serious.'" Boehner described negotiations as going "nowhere, period," and said "there's clearly a chance" the nation will go over the cliff.

Geithner, the administration's point man for negotiations, was slightly more optimistic while saying the ball was in Boehner's court. But the treasury secretary also said he didn't expect a counteroffer right away, as Republicans work to sort out tensions within the party in the wake of bruising national elections that left Democrats in charge of the White House and the Senate.

Boehner acknowledged in his interview, aired Sunday, that he wasn't happy with public remarks by Republican Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, who said he was ready to go along with Obama's plan to renew expiring income tax cuts for the majority of Americans and negotiate the rates on top earners later.

"They're trying to figure out where they go next," Geithner said of Republicans, "and we might need to give them a little time to figure out where they go next."

He called the back-and-forth "normal political theater," saying all that's blocking a timely deal is the GOP's reluctance to accept higher tax rates on the wealthy.

"It's welcome that they're recognizing that revenues are going to have to go up. But they haven't told us anything about how far rates should go up ... (and) who should pay higher taxes," Geithner said.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that she will try to force a vote on the Senate-passed bill favored by Democrats to avert a fiscal cliff. But she was unlikely to line up enough Republicans to succeed.

Obama's political team ramped up its efforts, blasting out an email Sunday night urging supporters to pressure Congress to extend tax cuts that would add up to about $2,000 for a middle-class family of four.

Stephanie Cutter, who was Obama's deputy campaign manager, said in the email that the president was trying to get Congress to "do the right thing and act before the New Year, but he needs our help. We've got a good track record here: When we make our voices heard and urge Congress to take action ? whether it's about health care, student loans, Wall Street reform, or 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' ? they listen."

Republican leaders have said they accept higher tax revenue overall, but only through what they call tax reform __ closing loopholes and limiting deductions __ and only coupled with tough measures to curb the explosive growth of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

"If we gave the president $1.6 trillion of new money, what do you think he'd do with it?" asked Boehner. "He's going to spend it. It's what Washington does."

Cole didn't back down Sunday on his earlier comments that Republicans should agree to Obama's plan for continuing Bush's tax rates for middle-class America and focus the negotiations on the other issues. Doing so, he said, would make the GOP position even stronger.

"The reality is, nobody can look at this budget and think if you don't reform entitlements you can balance it. You can give the president every tax increase he's asked for, you'd still be in the hole," he said.

Geithner appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation," NBC's "Meet the Press," CNN's "State of the Union," ABC's "This Week" and "Fox News Sunday." Cole appeared on ABC "This Week."

Robert Zemeckis Is Ready for Roger Rabbit 2 Whenever Disney Is

MTV recently caught up with filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, and by the time the conversation ended we had an update on the status of the oft-discussed Roger Rabbit sequel. Seems things could come together sooner rather than later.

The music and entertainment site began by asking the filmmaker about releasing 3D versions of his much-loved Back to the Future films. Zemeckis quickly shot this down, saying he ?didn?t see a point in that [converting them to 3D].? He did, however, add that he had seen test footage of a 3D version of Roger Rabbit from a few years back and would be happy to rerelease that one.

From there, he finally gets around to talking about the long-awaited sequel.

?I'm happy with the script. It's very good. It's written by the original writers, and it's good, [But Disney] is still thinking about it. If I were to do the sequel, it would be done just like the first one. It would look the same way, but we would present it in 3D in its release. I would do all of the animation hand-drawn; 2D, but using 3D tools. It wouldn't be like Pixar 3D. It wouldn't look like that."

The Pixar bit is interesting. As much as we love Pixar?s films, we do occasionally find ourselves longing for a time when animated features didn?t look so similar. Pretty much everything animated coming out these days tends to look the same ? so seeing a return to the style of the original Roger Rabbit would be a nice change of pace at least.

What do you guys think? Is there still enough interest to get a Roger Rabbit sequel up and running or has too much time passed since the original?s debut? Weigh in below and then check out a full clip of the interview.?

Mixed Reports As Sports Providers Visit Rec Board

By Ron Bukley at November 30, 2012 | 12:05 am | Print

Some Royal Palm Beach youth sports are flourishing, while others are still recovering from economic challenges that had parents cutting back on participation, according to providers who spoke at the Nov. 19 meeting of the Royal Palm Beach Recreation Advisory Board.

The most positive outlook came from Mal Hasan, president of Royal Palm Beach Youth Soccer, who said the league had just completed its fall season with a record number of participants.

?Normally, we would offer a recreational and competitive program. This season, we introduced an all-star program for our rec members,? Hasan reported. ?From the under-10 through under-18 teams, we were able to put together nine all-star teams, a boys and girls team for each age group, [and] an extra girls team in the under-18 group because there was such high demand and so much talent.?

In addition to the regular recreation season, these kids met as an all-star team once or twice a week to practice. ?We decided that at some point during the season, we would send these kids off to participate in a recreation tournament somewhere else in the state,? Hasan said.

The tournament they located was in Cocoa Beach, where seven of the nine teams participated in the finals and five won the championship. ?I think that speaks volumes for the recreation program itself, and if we were able to do that pretty much in a trial run, we really look forward to the upcoming season,? he said.

The past season had 473 members in the recreational program, and 34 in the competitive program. Hasan, who also coaches the Royal Palm Beach High School boys soccer team, said the league is developing a feeder program that will help players develop their skills.

?We would like our recreation program to be the feeder system for the program as a whole, as opposed to these other clubs that go around recruiting from city to city bringing in teams from other clubs,? he explained.

Hasan anticipates the spring registration to top 500. ?I?ll be a little disappointed if that?s not the case,? he said. ?Everybody is very excited after this fall season.?

Royal Palm Beach Youth Soccer?s spring season will tentatively start with practice on Feb. 18 and the first games on March 2. It will run until the end of May.

In other soccer news, Hasan noted that the Palm Beach Soccer League has asked RPB to host the playoffs for its competitive program, which features more than 60 teams in a single-elimination tournament.

?That?s something we hope to continue to do,? he said. ?The village has been very supportive of them, plus, we would like to think down the line in possibly hosting our own tournament, which would help generate additional revenue for the village and for our program.?

In summary, Hasan said the future looks bright for soccer in Royal Palm Beach. ?We have a really neat situation here in that we have all these kids starting in this program at 4 years old,? he said. ?We have a middle school coach here at Crestwood who?s involved with our recreation program, so we start them here, we send them to somebody in middle school who?s still part of us, and from middle school they go to the high school where I am the boys? coach.?

Parks & Recreation Director Lou Recchio added that the village has been working on taking over the multipurpose fields at Seminole Palms Park. This will add the flexibility of additional field space, allowing the village to host larger sporting events.

Tedd Kenny, president of the Youth Baseball Association of Royal Palm Beach, said his program has been undergoing a transition.

Kenny has been involved in local youth baseball for about 18 years and took over as president of the program last January. ?We?re trying to build the program back up to what it used to be just a few years ago,? he said.

The league recently finished its fall season. ?Things went fairly well,? Kenny said. ?Fall is an instructional season, focusing more on the kids who are moving from a younger age group to an older age group. The spring is when we have the competitive season that leads into all-stars and travel.?

Membership is up from fall 2011, when registrants totaled 272, compared with 295 for the season just completed. The program has 210 residents and 85 non-residents. Spring registration was also up, rising to 325 from 305 a year earlier, which Kenny attributed partly to adjusting prices to be more competitive with other leagues and focusing more on fun and learning.

?At some point there had been some focus on travel ball, and not really on recreational baseball and teaching the fundamentals,? he said, adding that the league does have five travel teams, accounting for an additional 60 youth who play outside the recreational league.

Registration for 2013 is now open, and Kenny anticipates tryouts in late January with the season opening Feb. 23. He expected registration to be about 350.

Royal Palm Beach Wildcats Football League President Mike Wallace said the league plays under Pop Warner Football League rules.

?We don?t make up things as we go. A lot of the rec football programs in Palm Beach County do that,? he said, pointing out that weight divisions are standard across the nation. ?Those rules are made by Pop Warner national up in Pennsylvania.?

The enrollment numbers were down to 211 in 2012 from 265 in 2011. ?Speaking with some of the other programs in the Treasure Coast Football Conference, they all had reductions also,? Wallace said. ?They kind of chalked it up to money and finances and the economy.?

The cheer program in 2011 had 115 girls. This year it ended at 67 after starting the season with 85. The league had three cheer teams, two of which were competitive and did well. The oldest group placed second in local competition, which sent them to Orlando last month for regional competition.

Football had eight teams this past season, down from 10 the previous season.

Most of the board members are new, and the league was left with outstanding bills from the previous year, but managed to finish with a balanced budget, Wallace said.

One of the things that he likes about Pop Warner Football is that the players also have to do well in school, he said. ?You have to show your coach your report card,? Wallace said. ?We?re one of the few sports programs that do that.?

Of the 278 kids in the program the past year, 24 were scholastic All-Americans, he noted.

Contrary to what you might expect from its name, the OKI MB491+LP ($549 direct), a monochrome multifunction printer (MFP), isn't simply the OKI MB491 with a little something extra tacked on. It actually claims a faster speed, at 47 pages per minute (ppm). On the other hand, it does indeed tack on something as well, replacing the MB491's letter-size flatbed with a legal-size version. The larger flatbed makes it the preferred choice for offices that scan and copy a lot of legal-size pages.

As with the OKI MB491 and the Brother MFC-8950DW that's Editors' Choice in this category, the MB491+LP is aimed primarily at micro and small offices with relatively heavy-duty print needs. As with the MFC-8950DW, it focuses a little more heavily on the copying and scanning features than most small office MFPs.

Core features include printing and faxing from, as well as scanning to a PC, including over a network; working as a standalone copier and fax machine; and being able to scan to and print from a USB memory key. Very much worth mention is that the front-panel menus are nicely designed, making it easy to change settings and give commands.

In addition to the legal-size flatbed, the printer offers a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF), which also can handle legal-size pages. Even better, the ADF duplexes too, by scanning one side of the page, turning it over, and scanning the other. For copying, the combination of the duplexing ADF and duplex printing lets you copy either single or double-sided originals to your choice of single or double-sided copies. And note that unlike some printers with duplexing ADFs, the MB491+LP can scan in duplex for faxing as well as for scanning and copying.

Paper handling for printing is also a strong point. In addition to the built-duplexer, the printer offers enough input capacity for most small offices, with a 250-sheet drawer and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray as standard. If you need more, you can also add a 530-sheet optional tray ($183.99 direct), for a maximum 880-sheet capacity.

One other feature worth mention is private printing, which will let you send sensitive print jobs to the printer and tell it to hold them in memory, rather than print them immediately, until you enter a PIN code at the front panel.

Setup and Speed
As is typical for the category, the MB491+LP is a little too big to comfortably share a desk with, at 17.9 by 19.1 by 16.7 inches (HWD), but small enough so you should be able to find room for it in most small offices. Setup is absolutely standard. For my tests, I connected it to a wired network and installed the PCL driver on a Windows Vista system.

The rated 47 ppm speed should be close to what you'll see if you print text documents with little formatting. On our business applications suite, however, I timed the printer (using QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing), at an effective 9.7 ppm. That makes the MB491+LP essentially tied with the Editors' Choice OKI MB471 at 9.5 ppm and a touch slower than, but very much in the same ballpark as, both the MB491 at 10.5 ppm and the Editors' Choice Brother MFC-8950DW at 10.6 ppm. More generally, the speed for all of these printers is best described as acceptable, but unimpressive for their engine ratings.

Output Quality
Output quality is a moderate plus for the MB491+LP, with quality scores for each type of output?text, graphics, and photos?at the high end of the range where the vast majority of monochrome MFPs fall.

Text in my tests was easily good enough for any business need short of high-quality desktop publishing. Graphics output, similarly, was also good enough for any internal business need, including PowerPoint handouts for most situations. Depending on how critical an eye you have, however, you may or may not consider the graphics quality good enough to hand out when you need to convey a sense of professionalism.

Photo quality was easily suitable for printing photos in client newsletters and more than good enough to print Web pages with recognizable photos. Also very much worth mention, given the MB491+LP's emphasis on copying features, is that it did a far better job in my copy tests with photos than most mono MFPs, retaining surprisingly good photo quality in the copies.

If you don't need a legal-size flatbed, there's little reason to consider the OKI MB491+LP, and you should be looking at printers without one, like the OKI MB471, instead. If you need the larger flatbed, on the other hand, note that the MB491+LP doesn't offer quite as much as the Brother MFC-8950DW. In particular, it lacks the Brother MFC-8950DW's Wi-Fi, its support for various mobile printing apps, and its well-designed touch-screen controls, all of which keep the Brother printer firmly in place as Editors' Choice. On the other hand, the Brother printer costs more. If you don't need its extras, the OKI MB491+LP may well be the better fit.
