RICHMOND, Va. – Joe Camel is bulking up to take on the Marlboro Man.
Camel cigarette maker Reynolds American Inc.'s $25 billion deal to buy Newport maker Lorillard Inc. creates a formidable No. 2 tobacco company in the U.S. behind Marlboro maker Altria. It also creates a powerhouse in menthol cigarettes, which are becoming a bigger part of the business and gives the combined company some breathing room even as people smoke fewer cigarettes every year.
The deal announced Tuesday also creates a new major player in the country's tobacco market, the U.K.'s Imperial Tobacco, which is buying some of the companies' other brands including Kool and Winston and instantly becomes the king of e-cigarettes in the U.S.
The deal also is a big indication that Reynolds sees electronic cigarettes as a promising side business but not the whole future. To get the acquisition done, Reynolds is ceding a commanding lead in the e-cigarette business by selling off Lorillard's dominant Blu e-cig brand, highly visible because of its TV commercials featuring Stephen Dorff and Jenny McCarthy, to Imperial.
Reynolds and Lorillard value the deal at about $27 billion including debt. It is expected to close in the first half of 2015 but will likely face regulatory scrutiny. Lorillard shareholders would receive $50.50 in cash for each share and 0.2909 of a share in Reynolds stock at closing, a combination valued by the companies at $68.88 per share.
After the deal, company, which will remain based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is projected to have more than $11 billion in revenue.
To help to ease regulatory concerns about competition, Imperial Tobacco Group will buy the Kool, Salem, Winston, Maverick and Blu e-cig brands for $7.1 billion, tripling its share of the U.S. cigarette market. Imperial already owns Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based Commonwealth-Altadis Inc., maker of USA Gold cigarettes.
Reynolds will keep its Camel, Pall Mall and Natural American Spirit brands and acquire Lorillard's flagship Newport brand, giving it 34 percent share of the U.S. retail cigarette market.
Newport and Camel are two of the largest players in menthol cigarettes. On its own, Newport accounts for 37 percent of the menthol segment. While people are smoking less, buying 19 percent fewer cigarettes overall in 2013 than five years earlier, menthol cigarette sales have fallen by only 7 percent and its share of the market grew 4 percentage points to about 31 percent, according to market researcher Euromonitor International.
'Cigarette volume in this country has been declining for a very, very long time, but … it's important as we see consolidation and growth in market share, to have a true portfolio of iconic brands,' Reynolds CEO Susan Cameron said in an interview with The Associated Press, who also noted the potential to expand Newport in the western U.S. and Camel in the East, regions where each are weaker.
Despite selling Blu, Reynolds will remain in e-cigarettes and will focus on expanding its rechargeable Vuse e-cigarette brand, which expanded nationally last month after quickly becoming the top-selling brand in its initial test-market states of Colorado and Utah.
Cameron said the company is confident in Vuse's 'game-changing' technology that monitors and adjusts heat and power to deliver more consistent puffs.
But the menthol and e-cigarette markets aren't a sure bet. Both face the possibility of heavier regulation.
The Food and Drug Administration is weighing restrictions on the minty smokes after a review concluded while there's little evidence to suggest that they are more or less toxic or contribute to more disease risk than regular cigarettes, they likely pose a greater public health risk than regular cigarettes because younger people are more likely to start using them and that menthol smokers have a harder time quitting.
The agency also has proposed regulating battery-powered e-cigarettes, banning sales to anyone under 18, adding warning labels and requiring agency approval for new products. The devices produce vapor, usually nicotine-laced, instead of smoke.
Raising prices and cutting business costs has kept the industry profitable. The deal will help with the cost-cutting end: Reynolds expects to save about $800 million a year in costs.
The net effect on jobs and the economy in the American South's tobacco country is uncertain. Reynolds, which has about 5,200 full-time employees and produces its cigarettes at its 2 million-square-foot Tobaccoville, North Carolina, plant, said it plans to hire, primarily in manufacturing, over 18 months following the closing.
Imperial is buying Lorillard's manufacturing and offices in Greensboro, North Carolina, along with about 2,900 employees. Imperial did not say whether it would use Lorillard's headquarters.
The combined company will challenge Altria Group Inc., owner of Philip Morris USA, which holds about half of the retail cigarette market. The company declined to comment on Tuesday's news.
The companies said British American Tobacco PLC, which makes Kent and Dunhill cigarettes overseas, will maintain its 42 percent stake in Reynolds, and Lorillard shareholders will hold a 15 percent stake.
Reynolds and British American Tobacco also agreed to share technology related to the development and commercialization of next-generation tobacco products, including cigarettes that heat tobacco rather than burning it, and other nicotine-delivery products.
Lorillard's stock fell $5.47, or about 8 percent, to $61.75 in afternoon trading Tuesday. Reynolds' stock fell $3.27, or about 5 percent, to $59.91.

While my grandfather was stationed in Paris in the '50s, he bought this camera outfit in Germany and gave it to my mom for her birthday. For as long as I can remember this camera hasn't worked. As a little boy, I was blamed for breaking it. I took it apart in my late 20s and found a small lever responsible for operating the outer leaf shutter had broken. A small land for a very fine spring had broken off the lever rendering the spring incapable of doing its job. I stowed the camera with the intent of repairing it.
Fast forward, gulp, 20+ years. A needed a new source of analog photographic inspiration and set about fixing this jewel of a camera. I located another body in very poor condition on eBay for $40. Its shutter worked perfectly and would make a suitable parts donor. I performed the lever transplant, cleaned and lubricated the shutter timing works and shutter leaves and now I've got this crazy cool camera working.
The case has all these really whacky accessories. Its got the 35mm Skoparon wide-angle lens, the highly desirable 50mm Nokton lens and the 100mm Dynaron telephoto lens. It also has the Proximeter I & II close-up lenses, a UV filter, a Yellow 2 filter, a lens hood along with the accessory shoe-mounted Turnit 3 and Kontur viewfinder aids.
Its a camera that was sold to compete with Leica and the lenses are known for their high quality optics. It has unusual controls and ergonomics along with a significant heft, which earned it some reviewer scorn. The weirdness of it coupled with its German roots has me smitten.
I'm pretty sure we went over this, so I'm not going to repeat it here.

Over the last few years I have been asked to paint various sculptures for public art events including Bristol's 'Wow Gorillas', The Mayor of London's 'Summer like no other' festival during the 2012 Olympics, 'Beautiful Bugs' for the Upfest Gallery in Bristol, 'Go Rhinos' in Southampton and 'Great Gorillas' in Torbay.
I love designing artwork to suit the sculpture, event and town and seeing the response they create once they hit the streets is always great fun. I've met some really brilliant people through these events, so many talente artists, sponsors, event organisers and people out and about making the most of the events in their home towns.
'Lilo', coming soon to Torquay.


Andy Keshav Shenoy is the first Indian-American to hold such a high-ranking position in the state administration.
In an effort to strengthen trade and business ties between India and New York, the Governor of the US state has appointed Indian-American businessman and community leader, Andy Keshav Shenoy, as his special adviser for South Asian Affairs.
New York Governor George Pataki is expected to visit India sometime in February or March, and Shenoy said the Governor is expected to have high-level meetings in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore to discuss the strengthening of ties and seek investments in New York.
Thanking Pataki for encouraging the Indian-American community, Shenoy pledged to do his best to forge closer ties between India and the New York State.
Shenoy, who immigrated to the United States in 1990 from Mumbai, is a major player in diamonds and diamond jewellery, and has been politically active for about two decades.
He is also the president of Indo-American Promotion, a non-profit group seeking strengthening of economic ties between India and New York.

Funding for Agricultural Research and Development Public Goods
An ongoing stream of EPAR research considers how public good characteristics of different types of research and development (R&D) and the motivations of different providers of R&D funding affect the relative advantages of alternative funding sources. For this project, we seek to summarize the key public good characteristics of R&D investment for agriculture in general and for different subsets of crops, and hypothesize how these characteristics might be expected to affect public, private, or philanthropic funders' investment decisions.
ICABR Presentation Slides, 2011-2014 Data on Public Investment in Agricultural R&D
Public Expenditures in Agriculture: Analyzing Data Sources
Data on public expenditures on agriculture are not systematically collected in any one database. Rather, a variety of sources collect and publish data on certain aspects of agricultural public expenditures. These sources vary in their data collection methods, their frequency of data collection, and the specific expenditures they report on. We collected data on agricultural public expenditures and conducted preliminary analyses for four countries: India (with a focus on Bihar, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh), Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Tanzania. The data are disaggregated in a variety of ways depending on the source, but we include disaggregated data where available comparing planned or budgeted vs. actual spending, government vs. donor spending, soending by activity or funding area, and spending by commodity or value chain activity. Our goals are to facilitate further analysis of trends in agricultural public expenditures across countries and over time, and to highlight gaps and differences in data sources.

Funding of Agricultural and Health R&D Public Goods
This research considers how public good characteristics of different types of research and development (R&D) and the motivations of different providers of R&D funding affect the relative advantages of alternative funding sources. We summarize the public good characteristics of R&D for agriculture in general and for commodity and subsistence crops in particular, as well as R&D for health in general and for neglected diseases in particular, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Finally, we present rationales for which funders are predicted to fund which R&D types based on these funder and R&D characteristics. We then compile available statistics on funding for agricultural and health R&D from private, public and philanthropic sources, and compare trends in funding from these sources against expectations. We find private agricultural R&D spending focuses on commodity crops (as expected). However contrary to expectations we find public and philanthropic spending also goes largely towards these same crops rather than staples not targeted by private funds. For health R&D private funders similarly concentrate on diseases with higher potential financial returns. However unlike in agricultural R&D, in health R&D we observe some specialization across funders – especially for neglected diseases R&D - consistent with funders' expected relative advantages.

Crop Value Chains: Bananas and Plantains in West Africa
This research brief provides an overview of the banana and plantain value chains in West Africa. Because of the greater production and consumption of plantains than bananas in the region, the brief focuses on plantains and concentrates on the major plantain-producing countries of Ghana, Cameroon, and Nigeria. The brief is divided into the following sections: Key Statistics (trends in banana and plantain production, consumption, and trade since 1990), Production, Post-Harvest Practices and Challenges, Marketing Systems, and Importance (including household consumption and nutrition). West Africa is one of the major plantain-producing regions of the world, accounting for approximately 32% of worldwide production. Plantains are an important staple crop in the region with a high nutritional content, variety of preparation methods, and a production cycle that is less labor-intensive than many other crops. In addition to plantains, bananas are also grown in West Africa, but they account for only 2.3% of worldwide production. Bananas are more likely than plantains to be grown for export rather than local consumption. Major constraints to banana and plantain production include pests and disease, short shelf life, and damage during transportation.
Crop Value Chains: Yams in Nigeria
This report provides a general overview of the markets for yams in Nigeria. The first section describes trends in yam production and consumption and international trade since 1990. The second section summarizes the varieties grown in Nigeria and their uses, followed by a discussion of the importance of yams as a source of nutrition and household income. The final section provides details about the production and marketing systems for yams in Nigeria, including environmental and gender considerations. Nigeria is the world's largest yam producer in terms of quantity. Yam production and consumption have increased over the past twenty years, though more recently, production has been somewhat in decline and yields have been stagnant. The Nigerian government has played a more active role in improving agricultural production and export of root and tuber crops including yams in recent years, but so far with limited success. Yam producers and traders report diverse constraints to their full participation in the market, including high cost of inputs, planting materials and labor, lack of credit, limited access to proper, secure storage facilities, and high transportation costs.
Crop Value Chains: Yams in Ghana
This report provides a general overview of the market for yams in Ghana. We begin by describing historical trends in yam production and consumption since 1996, recent international trade, and prices. The second section summarizes the varieties grown in Ghana and their uses. The next several sections review available information about the production and marketing systems, followed by a discussion of the importance of yams as a source of nutrition and household income. The limited information available on sweet potato production in Ghana is presented in the appendix. We find that yam production in Ghana has increased steadily over the last 15 years, and that while yam yields have increased from 12.8 MT/Ha in 1996 to 15.6 MT/Ha in 2011, an estimated yield gap of 33.4 MT/Ha persists. Yam export levels have varied over the past 15 years, but show a generally positive trend. Most yam farmers are male smallholders with low levels of education, while most retailers, wholesalers and cross-border traders are women.
Crop Value Chains: Cassava Global Analysis
Cassava is a tuber crop originating in South America and grown in tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world. Cassava use varies significantly by region. In Africa, cassava is primarily grown for food. In Asia, production is typically for industrial purposes, including ethanol, while in Latin America and the Caribbean it is commonly used in animal feed. Both roots and leaves are consumed, though most information on production focuses on roots. There are bitter and sweet varieties; bitter cassava has a high cyanide content and must be processed prior to consumption, while sweet varieties can be eaten directly. This report presents information about current production, constraints, and future potential of cassava. We discuss cassava's importance in Africa, current worldwide production, projections for supply and demand, production constraints, and current policies affecting cassava production and trade. We include global information but focus on Africa, particularly Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and Tanzania.
Crop Value Chains: Wheat in Bangladesh
This report provides a general overview of the wheat market in Bangladesh. The first section describes trends in wheat production and consumption over the past twenty years and summarizes recent trade policy related to wheat. The second section presents the findings of a literature review of the wheat value chain in Bangladesh, beginning with seed selection and ending with sales. Finally, wheat consumption in Bangladesh is discussed in more depth, including nutritional information about wheat, substitute grain markets, and projected consumption in 2030. We find that wheat production in Bangladesh has been volatile and continues to reflect significant yield gaps. While wheat consumption has increased, rice is the most important crop and food grain. Increased demand by private traders for higher quality wheat for processing has fueled rising import levels, and the the gap between domestic supply and demand is projected to grow to over 4 million tons by 2030.
Crop Value Chains: Wheat Global Analysis
Over the past 20 years, global wheat production and consumption have increased significantly. Production has increased 28%, or about 1.3% annually, and consumption has increased about 24%, or 1.1% annually. A small number of countries consistently account for over 90% of the export market, but the import market is more diversified and involves many more countries. Wheat is primarily used for food, seed, and industry; only 20% of wheat production is used for animal feed. This brief provides a global overview of the wheat value chain, but with specific attention to three focus countries: Ethiopia, India (specifically the Bihar region), and Bangladesh. While these three countries currently have a limited impact in the global wheat market, projections of wheat production and demand suggest that over the next 20 years demand in Bangladesh and Ethiopia will increasingly exceed supply, while India will become a net importer by 2030.
Political Economy of Fertilizer Policy in Côte d'Ivoire
In the decades following independence in 1960, Côte d'Ivoire stood out as a shining example of economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. GDP increased at an annual average of 8.1 percent from 1960 to 1979, led largely by cocoa and coffee exports. Low export earnings from a fall in world cocoa prices and a heavy public debt burden halted this growth in the 1980s, followed by civil conflict beginning in 1999. Three decades of focus on export crops rather than food crops also left Côte d'Ivoire with a growing food deficit. This literature review examines the state of agriculture in Côte d'Ivoire and the history of government involvement in the agricultural sector. We find that while the country is poised to reemerge from a decade of economic stagnation and civil war after signing the Ouagadougou Political Accord in 2007, the political economy of Côte d'Ivoire is still heavily dependent upon and influenced by the production of cocoa. Cocoa is the top export, and cocoa export taxes provide one of the largest sources of revenue for the Government of Côte d'Ivoire (GoCI). Cocoa is not heavily dependent on fertilizer inputs and growers have increased production by expanding cropland. The small contribution of fertilizer to the production of this essential crop may help explain the GoCI's low priority on expanding fertilizer production and use. Given that a large part of government revenue comes from the export of cocoa and coffee, the government has chosen to focus resources on crops that increase revenue. Even with the food riots in 2008, the GoCI has not made increasing domestic food production an important focus of agricultural policy.

L'effet de génération est l'un des trois effets pouvant influer sur la sensibilité d'une variable sociodémographique à la localisation d'une sous-population donnée dans le temps. De fait, l'effet de génération établit un lien de causalité entre la génération de laquelle ressort la sous-population étudiée et la variable considérée toutes choses étant égales par ailleurs, ce qui signifie que le seul fait d'appartenir à une certaine génération détermine au moins en partie la valeur de la variable telle que constatée pour cette génération. On distingue cet effet de l'effet d'âge et de l'effet de période.

This morning I woke up at 4:40AM and I'm not even mad about it. The house was still, it was still dark outside, and I couldn't fall back to sleep! I got up to check on Brighton. 99% of the time when I go to check on her, I end up leaning down to scoop her sleepy body out of bed and bring her back into our room to feed/cuddle her. When I went in this morning, her poor arms were cold, so when I covered her with a blanket and she stirred, I took that as an invitation to gather her up into my arms and feed her. I love snuggling my little girl and feeling needed. I love that when she's fussy or hungry, I am the one who can calm her and bring her peace. I just love being a mom, you guys.
After I laid her back in her bed, I couldn't fall back to sleep! I was trying to think of what to do and decided, hey, why not blog? So here I am! I fully intend to get a Christmas post + New year post up before 2017 ends so maybe I'll draft those up as well, haha.
I have so many big dreams for 2017! I want to blog more, do more outfit posts (I love outfit posts, it's just so fun to feel cute and take some pictures, especially now that Brighton can be in some.), I want to hire more people to work for my company, Framed, I want to work less and play more, I want to help Brighton thrive and learn to love life, I want SO many things! I'll save the bulk of my ideas for my new year cliche goals post, don't worry ;). Anyways, I know my posts have been few and far in between these past few months so thanks for sticking around and watching me grow into this new "job" I call motherhood! See you soon!!

Some of you forged ahead into uncharted territory and tried to use our product to protect the backup server along with other servers. We tried to help by defining best practices for "multi-point replication." Truth be known, the solutions generally left a lot to be desired, but they would work in a pinch.
Today, we have a better solution. It's one that we can firmly stand behind because it finally marries our advanced backup technology to the backup system itself. We're calling it "Site-to-Site Replication," and it's as simple as it sounds.
Server Backup Manager 5.10 introduces Site-to-Site Replication, which will allow users to configure replication of SBM data to another SBM server regardless of its physical location.
You now have access to a fully-tested and supported backup solution for your backup infrastructure that works just like you would expect. And even more incredibly, we're delivering this additional functionality at no additional cost to you. It's fully baked in to our product.
With Site-to-Site Replication, you associate the SBM server with one or more SBM servers. Then at the Volume storage level, you can specify Remote Replication. With your next recovery point execution you'll soon see the Disk Safe data transferred to the target server.
One of the coolest features of our Site-to-Site Replication is the ability to use the replicated Disk Safes to directly restore the protected servers. So if your primary SBM server is offline, a backup restoration is still just a few clicks away.
This isn't just a one-time value add that we're throwing your way. Site-to-Site Replication is just the beginning of a full-featured Disaster Recovery system for your backup infrastructure.
We are already planning the next features to compliment Site-to-Site Replication and make it a complete DR solution, and we're excited to roll them out to you in upcoming releases.
Don't be shy about letting us know what you'd like to see or how you plan to use Site-to-Site Replication. We can only build the product that works best for you if we hear from you.

Q: iOS 8 re-order control with transparent background In new iOS 8 has re-order control transparent background, while moving. I'm not doing any fancy stuff with tableview, just setting indentWhileEditing false and editing style none. My tableview has transparent background and behind tableview is imageview with image. How can I set background for re-order control, so it is not trasnparent?

A: The reordering control is positioned automatically by the UITableView in the accessoryView, directly from the documentation:

The reordering control is gray, multiple horizontal bar control on the right side of the cell. Users can drag this control to reorder the cell within the table. The default value is NO. If the value is YES , the reordering control temporarily replaces any accessory view.

Unfortunately there is no public API to customize the reordering control itself. However since you want to modify just the backgroundColor of the accessoryView, your best bet is to modify the cell background. Something like this:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    cell.backgroundColor = yourColor;
}

The magic word
February 13, 2015 by Terry Teachout
In today's Wall Street Journal drama column, I weigh in on a first-class Florida revival of one of David Mamet's best plays, Maltz Jupiter's Glengarry Glen Ross.
I also reprint parts of my original Journal reviews of two important shows that have just been remounted in New York: Robert Falls' Chicago production of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh, starring Nathan Lane, and the off-Broadway premiere of Stephen Adly Guirgis' Between Riverside and Crazy, starring Stephen McKinley Henderson.
Here's an excerpt.
In New York and Chicago, David Mamet's name is a draw. In much of the rest of the country, it's an in-your-face challenge. Yes, Mr. Mamet is now generally (and rightly) regarded as one of America's greatest playwrights, but many playgoers stubbornly persist in remaining ill at ease with his obscenity-encrusted portrayals of American life as a bloody war of all against all. That's what brought me to Florida's Maltz Jupiter Theatre, a suburban company best known for its top-flight musical-comedy revivals, to see Mr. Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross," a Pulitzer-winning play that takes the darkest possible view of human nature. How, I wondered, would it go over at a theater whose other offerings this season are "Fiddler on the Roof," "The Foreigner," "Les Misérables" and "The Wiz"?
The management clearly shared my concerns, since the program contains the following full-page warning: THIS PRODUCTION CONTAINS STRONG PROFANITY THROUGHOUT. But that hasn't stopped Maltz Jupiter from delivering the goods: J. Barry Lewis' exhilaratingly full-blooded staging is paced to perfection—each and every F-bomb hits its target—and gratifyingly well cast….
Mr. Falls' "Iceman" would be worth seeing even if it were merely adequate. It is, in fact, extraordinary, a totally successful staging of a formidably difficult play in which Mr. Lane gives a performance that will stay with you for as long as you live….
Mr. Guirgis has a firm grasp of the endless complexity of human motivation, and he always knows when to pull another rabbit out of his hat, just as he knows how to write dialogue that sounds as if he'd heard it in the street….Mr. Henderson, who spends most of the play sitting in a wheelchair, acts with such seeming effortlessness that you'll have to look twice—maybe even three times—to catch him stealing every scene….

Almanac: George Santayana on argument in America
"One of the peculiarities of recent speculation, especially in America, is that ideas are abandoned in virtue of a mere change of feeling, without any new evidence or new arguments. We do not nowadays refute our predecessors, we pleasantly bid them good-bye."

Government National Politics
Key Agency Chief Allows Biden Transition to Formally Begin

WASHINGTON (CN) — The peaceful transfer of power from outgoing President Donald Trump to President-elect Joe Biden will formally begin after the head of the General Services Administration signed off on the transition process Monday.
GSA Administrator Emily Murphy sent a letter to Biden late Monday saying the Trump administration is ready to begin the presidential transition. She officially triggered the process more than two weeks after the race was called for the former vice president.
In the letter first obtained by CNN, Murphy defended the delay, saying that she arrived at her decision to trigger transfer proceedings independently and "based on the law and available facts."
"I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any executive branch official — including those who work at the White House or GSA — with regard to the substance or timing of my decision," Murphy said. "To be clear, I did not receive any direction to delay my determination. I did, however, receive threats online, by phone and by mail directly at my safety, my family, my staff and even my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely. Even in the face of thousands of threats, I always remained committed to upholding the law."
Under law, the administrator of the GSA has the sole authority to release millions in funds for presidential transition operations. Without her stamp of approval, an incoming administration is left hamstrung.
In 2016 when then-candidate Donald Trump secured his victory in the presidential election, opponent Hillary Clinton called him to concede the same day. Then-Secretary of Defense Ash Carter gave the go-ahead formally, issuing am order for a peaceful transition of power.
Within two days, President Barack Obama met with President-elect Trump, and Biden, then vice president, met with Vice President-elect Pence at the White House, where Obama welcomed Trump to the Oval.
The Obama White House handed off power in a rapid clip — even giving the Trump White House a playbook on how to handle major problems like a pandemic. That playbook went totally ignored, according to Ronald Klain, who was Obama's Ebola czar at the time. Klain is now President-elect Joe Biden's chief of staff.
Murphy on Monday chalked up her to delay to a lack of a statutes providing "procedures or standards" for how an administrator ascertains the vote when legal challenges and "incomplete counts" abound.
Biden won the popular vote with 79,890,356 cast in his favor and secured 306 electoral college votes. Trump's popular vote totals lagged behind at 73,821,061 and he secured only 232 electoral college votes. This meant the incumbent failed to meet the minimum number of electoral votes required to win. Notably, in 2016, when Trump beat Clinton, the electoral college margin was the exact same — Trump with 306 to Clinton's 232.
Yohannes Abraham, the director of the transition team for President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, appeared relieved on Monday, saying Murphy's action was a "definitive" step.
"In the days ahead, transition officials will begin meeting with federal officials to discuss the pandemic response, have a full accounting of our national security interests and gain complete understanding of the Trump administration's efforts to hollow out government agencies," Abraham said in a statement.
While Murphy hedged on the transition process, pressure steadily mounted.
Last Friday, members of the House Oversight Committee issued a letter to Murphy requesting she attend a briefing with lawmakers and committee heads to unpack what was going on behind the scenes at the GSA.
By Monday morning however, Democratic committee chairs from House Oversight, the House Committee on Appropriations and two subcommittees — one for government operations and another for financial services and general government — upped the stakes.
Revealing that Murphy offered to send her deputy to meet with lawmakers instead of appearing herself and further revealing that she had raised logistical concerns around holding a virtual briefing, the lawmakers' patience wore thin. They gave Murphy until 5 p.m. Monday to pick a time to debrief, be it by phone or through other means.
In the hours that followed, one committee head after another put Murphy on notice. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-California, wrote the administrator on Monday, noting her delay was a potential national security threat and cut Biden off from receiving information that only he and a "handful" of other top national security officers are privy to.
"A crucial element of the transition process is to ensure that this intelligence, often obtained at great cost and risk to American personnel, is shared with the incoming President to ensure that there is no security 'gap' as a result of the change in administration," Schiff wrote before citing findings of the 9/11 Commission.
In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in 2001, the commission found that President George W. Bush's "truncated transition" period actively hampered the administration's ability to flesh out key security posts and hold briefings.
National security threats abroad, including those from China and Russia, combined with the continuing pandemic are powerful twin forces, Schiff explained.
"The risks of an abbreviated transition period with insufficient opportunity for the incoming administration to fully prepare manifest and potentially deadly," he said.
Similar sentiments were sent Monday to Murphy from Virginia Representative Don Beyer, the Democratic vice chair of the Joint Economic Committee, which is comprised of members of both the House and Senate.
Biden's margin is soaring at 6 million more votes than Trump and counting, Beyer pointed out, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers and even a smattering of prominent GOP lawmakers have been calling for a peaceful transition.
With unemployment gripping millions of Americans, including 12 million whose pandemic-related benefits are set to expire in just one week, and housing and food insecurity trending upward thanks to pressures from the pandemic, Murphy's delay caused "grievous harm to our nation," Beyer said.
President Trump had a much different take.
Currently 1 for 35 in court after launching a series of ill-fated lawsuits contesting, without evidence, the veracity of the 2020 election results in numerous states, Trump took to Twitter moments after Murphy's letter went public.
Thanking Murphy for what he described as her "steadfast dedication and loyalty to Our Country," the outgoing president appeared eager to hold on.
"Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good fight and I believe we will prevail!" Trump wrote on Twitter "Nevertheless in the best interest of our country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same."

SEOUL -- General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner said Wednesday that it now is up to Fiat S.p.A. to make the next move, after the two automakers held a series of discussions.
There has been mounting speculation that GM could step in and help the struggling Italian automaker.
Fiat is believed to be seeking as much as $2 billion from GM to bolster Fiat Auto's depleted finances.
Media reports have said that in return for a cash injection, GM would see its 20 percent stake in Fiat Auto rise to as much as 40 percent and Fiat would also cancel or delay on option to sell to GM the 80 percent of the auto division it does not already own from next year.

Jane Austen EPUB
by Carol Shields
Part of the LIVES series
Bestselling, award-winning novelist writing about one of the most popular and enduring English novelists of all time.
'Splendid ... a gem' LITERARY REVIEW
'An excellent biography' MAIL ON SUNDAY
'Shields on Austen offers up a delicious prospect. And we are not disappointed' SCOTSMAN
Jane Austen was one of the world's most remarkable writers, whose characters are as alive today as they were two hundred years ago. Despite being one of the most perceptive writers about people and relationships, she never married and always lived with her parents and sister Cassandra.
Perhaps unusual for women at that time, Jane Austen was acutely aware of the larger political and social world around her, but chose to focus her novels on the family as a microcosm through which to explore human nature.
The prizewinning novelist Carol Shields gives us a beautifully written, perceptive look at the life of one of the finest and most popular English novelists of all time.

BWW Review: MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY at Portland Center Stage
by Krista Garver
BroadwayWorld.com Dec. 12, 2019
As far as I can tell, there were three types of people in the audience the night I saw MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY: 1) Jane Austen fans, 2) people dragged there by Jane Austen fans, and 3) season ticket holders who had no idea what to expect but were relieved it wasn't another remount of Twist Your Dickens. Fortunately, from my own reaction and what I could tell by the chatter around me, this delightful piece of fan fiction by playwrights Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon successfully appeals to all of them.
Synopsis for Jane Austen fans: MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY picks up two years after Pride and Prejudice left off. When the play opens, Lizzie and Darcy are happily married at Pemberley, Jane and Bingley are expecting their first child, Lydia is still married to Wickham (and still being Lydia), and Mary, who is now Miss Bennet, has recently realized that there is a romantic hole in her life that books and the pianoforte can't fill. (Kitty isn't in the show).
The family has gathered at Pemberley to celebrate Christmas when Darcy reveals that he has also invited Mr. Arthur de Bourgh, who has recently inherited Rosings Park after the death of Lady Catherine De Bourgh. (Yes, this puts poor Anne de Bourgh in yet another difficult situation!) Arthur turns out to be just as bookish and socially awkward as Mary, and the two form an instant connection.
Synopsis for everyone else: MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY is a comedy about a smart, non-socially conforming woman who learns that she, too, can find love.
While MISS BENNET isn't a farce, it is just straight-up funny. In true holiday tradition, the family members argue, but never about politics or religion. In fact, the biggest ongoing conflict is about why, exactly, we cut down perfectly good trees just to bring them inside. This isn't a criticism, but rather one of the show's main selling points. We all have a lot on our minds already -- what MISS BENNET provides is an evening of heartwarming holiday fun.
This show also marks Marissa Wolf's directorial debut at Portland Center Stage. Aside from shaking up PCS tradition by doing a new holiday play, Wolf's influence is immediately seen in the cast she assembled -- a vibrant, diverse mix of PCS regulars and new faces. Standout performances come from Lauren Modica, whose dry wit is perfect for this more mature (and much funnier) take on Mary; Charles Grant, who plays Bingley with such earnestness you want to protect him from ever learning there are bad things in the world; Kailey Rhodes, who manages to infuse Lydia with an unexpected depth while still committing 100% to physical comedy; and Joshua J. Weinstein, whose artless portrayal of Arthur de Bourgh leaves no doubt as to why Mary finds him so charming even as the world must find him exasperating.
All in all, this play is a holiday treat.
MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY runs through December 29. Details and tickets here.

I received a 7ml sample of this with a magazine that I bought for my holidays (either Elle or Cosmo - I think it was Elle) and thought I'd do a quick review for you guys!
I love this eye cream. It's super light and you only need the tiniest bit to get around both your under eyes. I start by squeezing an amount about the size of a small bead on to my ring finger, then touch my two ring fingers together so there's some cream on the ring finger of each hand. I then dab it gently under my eye and then a tiny bit around and up on to the lid. It's best to use your ring finger, as you're not able to transmit much strength through it, so you don't risk damaging the sensitive skin under your eyes.
This for all skin types, I find it works well with my combination skin as I often get dry patches under my eyes and I find I often miss this when moisturising so it's good to have something especially for that! It's also 99% natural and cruelty free, which, as you all know, is a major factor for me liking a product. I've definitely found since using this in the night, I don't have as bad under eye circles the following morning - and I have not been sleeping well recently!
I don't know if I love it quite as much as Origin Ginzings, as the Ginger extract in that cream really energises your eyes and brightens your eyes up. It's going to be a tough decision to make when this cream runs out and I have to choose which one to buy!
Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream retails for £14 for 10ml, or £20 for 15.
Origins Ginzing Eye Cream retails for £21 for 15ml.

Due to their pride and arrogance, the Devas of the celestial world were defeated by Asuras-demons and driven away from their place. All of them surrendered at the feet of Lord Vishnu at this place-Oushadhachalam. Lord promised them help. The Asuras sought the help of Lord Shiva to win again. Lord Shiva too promised His help. Seeing that the Devas beaten and defeated, Lord Vishnu applied His discus-Chakrayudha that chased and killed the demons. All surrendered at Lord?s feet. Lord Vishnu appeared before them as Brahmma, Vishnu and Shiva and pleased all. As He was the captain of the Devas, He was named Devanatha. Knowing that Lord Sri Narayana had decided to stay here for ever, Adishesha built a town, which we now call Tiru Ahindi (Adisesha) Puram (place) ? Tiruvahindipuram.
