Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirms Aaron Ramsey is fit despite claims he suffered another setback with toe injury
Gunners boss insists Welsh midfielder is ready for Paris Saint-Germain clash despite rumours he could face more time out
ARSENE WENGER has confirmed Aaron Ramsey is fit to face Paris Saint-Germain - despite reports that the midfielder has suffered ANOTHER injury set-back.
The Welshman missed Gunners training on Tuesday morning which led various insiders to claim he had suffered a BROKEN TOE.
Ramsey, 25, is thought to have played through the pain barrier in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

He was clearly lacking match fitness in what was just his fourth Premier League appearance this season.
And fans feared he could face even more time on the sidelines after rumours of the new blow emerged.
But, speaking before Wednesday's Champions League clash with the French giants, Wenger insisted: "Everybody recovered from Saturday. We left Walcott and Ramsey in but they should be OK for tomorrow."
Ramsey – who is a £25million transfer target of Spanish giants Real Madrid – hobbled out of Arsenal's 4-3 opening day defeat to Liverpool with a hamstring problem.
Wenger decided not to rush the injury-prone star back and instead given him a five-week pre-season style training regime to get back to full fitness.

And Ramsey finally returned to action off the bench at Sunderland at the end of last month before starting the win at Ludogorets.
He then played his first full 90 minutes of the season in Wales' 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw with Serbia last week.
And any absence would come as a severe blow the Arsenal, who are already without Per Mertesacker, Danny Welbeck, Santi Cazorla, Hector Bellerin and Lucas Perez.

A tree house is causing controversy in one Falls Church neighborhood after a father built it for his two young boys. Fairfax County officials are considering tearing it down because the tree house violates county rules because it was built in the front yard. He needed a permit first to build the tree house.
One of the other things I rage on about is our too-much-government looking the other way and allowing outrages to be perpetrated. This is best seen in the large things, like this:
Occupy Wall Street is on the move ... uptown.Just so we are clear here: you CAN mob the house of people you don't like if you are part of a rent-a-mob for the DemocRat Party, but you CAN'T build a tree house for the kids without a permit. And likely a bribe for the building inspector.
Why uptown? Because that's where the rich folks live!
Organizers are planning a march on Tuesday that will visit the homes of JP Morgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) CEO Jamie Dimon, billionaire David Koch, hedge fund honcho John Paulson, Howard Milstein, and News Corp (NWSA, Fortune 500) CEO Rupert Murdoch.
The millionaires and billionaires are being targeted for what event organizers called a "willingness to hoard wealth at the expense of the 99%."

Nintendo DS Review – The Lowdown on this great Bundle
Affordable; Large library of games; Touch screen is easy and fun to use; Built-in microphone; Online capabilities; Many innovative games; Two LCD display panels , GBA backwards compatibility; Long battery life; Free Wi-Fi service; Great stereo sound quality; Many online multiplayer features, such as Download Play and Pictochat; Many accessories like the headset and rumble pak
Poorer graphics than the Sony PSP; Does not have nearly as many features as PSP; Many "shovelware" games; Uses primitive cartridges as opposed to discs; No analog stick; Web browser will cost you; Unable to connect to GameCube with the GBA games that have this ability; No accessible internal storage; Button layout can occasionally feel awkward
This affordable, easy-to-use handheld system will certainly please gamers of all types with its huge selection of games spanning many genres…
Nintendo's latest handheld console has driven gamers and non-gamers alike mad, with its unique gameplay and features. The device boasts current-generation graphics with dual screens; the bottom being a touch screen. Nintendo has been working on the system for years, and everyone can appreciate the value of their labour.
Features and Design
Of the two current handhelds, Nintendo's is definitely not the most powerful. Its graphics and audio will, to some, pale in comparison to Sony's PSP. Although the device may be technically inferior, the DS offers a unique way to play games, and has many of its own features absent from the PSP that certainly entice many to purchase it.
Perhaps the main reason one would acquire a DS would be the touch screen. The bottom display panel allows the player to interact with the game themselves, which adds a great deal of fun and creativity to most of the system's library. Although many games do not use this concept to its full potential (or exploit it too much), the touch screen is an extremely innovative idea that helped the DS sell over one hundred million units. Additionally, for those of you who prefer classic gameplay, many games allow the use of the directional-pad instead.
Another strong selling point is the Game Boy Advance slot, allowing gamers to play titles from Nintendo's previous handheld. These games can be played on either screen, complete with backlight. This feature adds a strong sense of nostalgia to the console, and all gamers will benefit from this.
The system's microphone is another interesting feature. Some games (such as WarioWare: Touched!, or Star Fox Command) implement this directly into the gameplay, while others (such as Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, or Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum), use it as a type of communication when playing online. This inclusion offers an online experience similar to that of home consoles. Also, it should be noted that the first two models of the PSP did not include any microphone at all.
As aforementioned above, the platform has compatibility with Wi-Fi, which opens up many doors in the multiplayer aspect. Using Wi-Fi to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, gamers who own a DS can connect with friends and strangers alike in many different ways. First and foremost is multiplayer in a game. In some games, players can compete against others online. The DS connects to other DS consoles across the world, so one can virtually play with anybody, anywhere. You can also save friend codes, which allows you to quickly connect with people you personally are familiar with. Another interesting feature is "Download Play," which allows two DS systems to play the same game together, even if only one person actually owns the game. For example, someone who does not own Mario Kart DS can still race against a friend of theirs, if that friend owns the game. This feature is enormously helpful and great addition to competitive gaming. Pictochat, another feature, allows up to sixteen people to enter a chat room and communicate by either typing, or drawing images on the touch screen. There are four chat rooms total. The only drawback is that players must be within sixty feet of each to access the same chat room. Finally, Nintendo offers a web browser for the system. The Opera-based internet browser is inserted into the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot, and allows one to access the internet, which is certainly a welcomed addition.
Besides the main features mentioned above, the DS menu includes a customizable clock and calendar. The system, additionally, allows owners to create profiles, which can customize settings to someone's own personal taste. The DS also has multiple backlight settings and an alarm clock.
In short, the Nintendo DS is a tremendously innovative and ground-breaking platform, with a massive selection of software that is constantly growing. When you get right down to it, Nintendo has achieved their goal. They have created a console that redefines the way people play games and, ultimately, is a load of fun. The Nintendo DS is a must-have for all gamers, whether they have been gaming for decades or are just thinking about starting. The DS will live down in history as one of the greatest consoles, let alone handhelds, ever developed.

Modern Witchy Woman Submission
Hi, I'm Amber and I Talk to Unicorns
If you asked me what I wanted in life, I would've said "fancy job with free coffee, house next to birch trees, husband and a couple of kids."
It seems the universe doesn't give the faintest flying flip about my plans because, instead, I end up with unicorns.
Turns out, the moment you get comfortable talking to Jesus and Joan of Arc, the unicorns show up. Like, "Girl, you thought talking to Jesus was weird? We've got news."
But unicorns aren't just the province of pre-teen girls - or 39-year-old women who buy glittery silver horns and strap them to their head. Unicorns have powerful sacred energy - and a lot to teach us.
Now, I do hear myself when I say things like this. As I type, I wonder "Have I gone actual crazy? After years of being entirely too attached to a stuffed therapy otter, has it finally happened? Have I officially circled the bend and taken up residence?"
I might have. Honest to god, I might. But if I'm going to be in the nut house - whether between literal padded walls or the metaphoric nut house of this ever-more-surreal-world - I definitely want the unicorns in there with me.
Unicorns ride Harleys past me on the freeway when I'm cranky. Shake pom-poms when I need a pep talk. Dance conga lines through my head when I'm sad. Join Jesus on the trampoline at my seventh-dimension birthday party, tumbling and flying like rainbow-hued equine gymnasts.
When I'm in a particularly human moment and need a lift, the unicorns show up as cartoons - complete with candy colors and goofy horse grins. When I'm tapping into their energy and channeling their power, they become the glowing silvered creatures beloved by fantasy illustrations.
But there's a reason unicorns are plastered all over the internet and prancing down hundreds of streets on Halloween. There's a reason so many of us are drawn to them. Even Starbucks tried to blend them up and shove them into a frappuccino.
Magical creatures - like unicorns, like dragons, even giraffes - have a profound medicine for us. Hidden for eons because humanity had contracted to the point where we just couldn't handle them outside the realm of myth and basement Dungeons & Dragons tournaments, unicorns are making a comeback worthy of The Rolling Stones. Because we're expanding again. Our darkness is rising up to be seen and felt and, honored. Our light is busting open the seams of this reality so that the reality we've known will never look the same.
One thing I've learned - buried between the many lessons I'm sure I'm still missing - is that when I flow with what feels good, life gets easier.
When I let myself be swept away by the unicorn crazy, I feel better. When I resist it, I feel worse.
So the path forward is clear - and leads straight to unicorns.
But no one quite knows what to do with this - including me. My friends start to edge away. My mother never has any idea what to tell her friends when they ask what I do for a living. "Oh, she channels Jesus and unicorns" is a good way to get uninvited to book club.
Unfortunately, unicorns can be really goddamn pushy.
Magical animals ignored for thousands of years will get that way when humanity finally starts to see and hear them again. And if they've chosen you to help get their message out, they're not going to be super concerned with, say, your need to be normal - or your need to be sleeping at 3 a.m.
Ascended masters have some experience being human and will quietly acknowledge your bedtime and need for mashed potatoes and Netflix. Magical animals don't give a sweet damn and will horn in on everything from your breakfast burrito to your third viewing of Hart of Dixie.
You try ignoring impatient seventh dimensional beings with horns and tell me how that goes for you. I was feeling reasonably resigned to my fate until I met a channeler in Mount Shasta who said, "What, you don't set office hours?"
Dear Unicorns: You must now adhere to the posted hours, hours which do not include three in the morning. Please also steer clear while I'm watching Queer Eye. Consider yourselves notified.
Am I crazy? Maybe. But aren't we all a little crazy? Even when our lives are relatively normal-looking - something I still profoundly wish for on occasion - we all still have some crazy in us, whether it's latent, emerging, or flying proudly on a flag.
When it comes to channeling unicorns - especially owning that shit on Facebook - the last remaining cinders of my ego shriek "HELL NO." But the rest of me is on board.
Because if you're going to go nuts, you may as well do it while riding a unicorn into Starbucks.
Bio: Amber Adrian is a bridge between humans and their magic. She helps sensitive souls dive into their intuitive superpowers and unlock their most profound creative gifts - because you and your work are so deeply needed. Amber is a storyteller and energetic healer who channels Jesus and unicorns. As one does. Hang out with her at amberadrian.com or on instagram.

By John Stanton
Contributing Writer
One summer evening, a half-dozen or so years ago, at the Cape Cod Melody tent, there was a show called Hippie Fest. It featured a series of acts that were well out of their prime, the ghosts of classic rock radio: Country Joe McDonald (without the Fish) Mitch Ryder (without the Detroit Wheels, or his voice) the Zombies and Badfinger with only one or two of the original band members. It was a sad reminder that your old tie-dyed T-shirts should never again be taken out of the closet.
I began to wonder how it feels when your gold record, or your hit song, was in your 20s and you are now into your 60s. It is a question that has stayed with me since that concert. So this week I asked Corky Laing. He was the drummer for the hard-rock band Mountain. His big hit came in 1970, with the song "Mississippi Queen." He was 23 years old when the band got its first gold record.
"You can get so into yourself that you end up not knowing what you are saying sometimes," he said. "I used to have to keep asking friends whether I had become an a-hole. Immaturity and success sometimes equals that. On top of that the testosterone aspect of rock and of drumming kicked in. It gets to be kind of an addiction."
"It leads to mistakes," he said. "Where did the money go? What were you thinking? Where was your heart at and your soul? You can really lose perspective on your anatomy. My pocketbook got bigger and my head was definitely bigger. But somehow you don't pay attention. You get scattered."
The Nantucket connection here began on summer nights a year or so before those gold records. Laing and his pal George Gardos arrived on-island as part of a band called Energy, to be the summertime house band at a place called Thirty Acres.
"I made a lot of mistakes. One of the good things I did was buy a house on Nantucket. While the rest of the guys were busy in New York City, with all kinds of first-class drugs, I was in Nantucket riding horses. I knew the salt-of-the-earth friends I had here would help me stay solid. When you're flying high you need something to ground you," he said.
Laing can look back at those days with a bit of distance because, well, for one thing, he is still alive when some of his old band mates and friends are not. For another, he is still playing, still behind the drum kit, still keeping the rock 'n' roll faith, as it were.
One moment leads to another and life seems sometimes to flash forward. One minute you are telling the bartender you're in the band so you can get free beer, the next minute you are looking back across the years. Mountain broke up as most bands do. West, Bruce and Laing made two albums and then also split up. Mountain tried getting back together. Years went by.
Laing took a job with a record company, with an office in New York and then back in Canada.
"I had a hot record years before and was established as a songwriter," he said. "But that and a couple of bucks will get you a cup of coffee. It felt good to get that check every week. It was security after being in a business without much security. And it was a great job for a while. But then the record companies got so greedy."
He tried another office job, this time with a musicians' union. But how long can a guy who grew up playing rock 'n' roll, first for pocket change and then for millions, be happy with the 9-5 world?
"I left and began a thing with Eric Schenkman and Noel Redding," Laing said. Schenkman was lead guitarist for a popular early-1990s band called the Spin Doctors, while Redding played bass for a guitar player named Jimi Hendrix. The band was called Cork, and released an album called "Speed of Thought" in 1998. "After that Leslie and I hooked up again. There was this resurgence of 1970s bands and we went out on the road for another 10 years."
"I never minded playing the songs over and over. The best thing about Mountain songs was they had space in them so you could just riff, go anyplace with them. Leslie never played 'Mississippi Queen' the same way twice anyway. We could jam with those songs, extend chords and beats and just play around with it."
It was around that time I met Laing. He had agreed to be music supervisor for a film I was producing. It was very cool to watch as a group of his old friends and local musicians � some of them I knew from around the island but had not realized were musicians � showed up to play on the soundtrack. It was a look into the informal days of early rock 'n' roll and into some Nantucket days gone by.
Last year he arrived on-island with a one-man show called "Best Seat in the House."
You can check it out here: http://www.corkylaingsbestseatshow.com/
What had he been up to besides the show?
In a weird turn of events, he had been lecturing college classes. It began first at the request of his bother Steve, who is a professor of marketing at McGill University, and later at a second university for a course called Advanced Entertainment Studies.
In an even weirder turn of events, he had tapped into a Scandinavian love of heavy-metal rock, and had been invited by some Scandinavian genetics professors to work on a rock opera about the ethics of genetic engineering. At the time it sounded like a put-on, a story he made up for a laugh. But sure enough, "Playing God," with music by Laing, performed by Corky Laing and The Perfect Child, premiered this year at Gloria Hall in Helsinki, Finland.
You can check it out here: http://playinggodrocks.com/
And so that is what you do. After your gold record at 23, after the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll of the early 1970s, after desk jobs, after going back on the road when the music of your youth turns into classic rock, after it all, you simply keep making music. If you are the real thing, and Laing is, if you still have the passion, and he does, you have no other choice. You just keep doing what you do.
"I just feel like as a drummer you physically have to stay in shape," he said the other day. "This is 50 years later. I play every day and try to stay in shape. I feel like I have never played better than now, only because I stay with it seriously. My purpose is it's gotta be as great as it ever was."
"Drums are the pulse of the generations," he said. "It is in the feel of jazz and Latin music, in the 1960s rock and the dance music of the 1970s, and punk of the 1980s. All just different tempos."
And sometimes you look back on the old days and try to make sense of it all, try to turn it into stories. Laing is back on-island with another one-man show, this time he is calling it, "Under the Rock." There is one show only, at Bennett Hall on Centre Street, Monday, July 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available through Theatre Workshop of Nantucket.
For Laing, the metaphor for the differences between music then and music now is the click track, an electronic metronome of sorts that sets beats per minute. It was first used in synchronizing music in film and for television commercials, but is now standard for a lot of bands.
"I like to say that I was in the music business before the most important thing to a drummer was the click track," he said. "Now they have headphones on and if you don't stay on the click track you don't work. Felix (Pappalardi) never would have asked me to do that. Ginger Baker would never do that. Keith Moon would never do that. It was your own heartbeat that you depended on. If I felt like playing a song faster, I did it. When you spread it out along life: My life had never been on a click track. I was able to go my own roads and do what I wanted to do."
So the lesson of that night years ago at the Cape Cod Melody Tent was that there is a big difference between fading rock stars and true musicians. Mountain took the stage for the finale that night. But when the show was over Corky Laing didn't simply get on the tour bus and head off to the next Hippie Fest. He headed back down his own road.

The release of a first-hand account by a former Navy SEAL of the May 2001 raid that killed Osama Bin Laden is set to inflame the debate over the use of classified material for political gain as the 2012 presidential campaign enters its crucial phase.
AP -A member of the U.S. Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden has written a firsthand account of the operation, triggering more questions about the possible public release of classified information involving the historic assault of the terror leader's compound in Pakistan.
U.S. military officials say they do not believe the book has been read or cleared by the Defense Department, which reviews publications by military members to make sure that no classified material is revealed.
The book, titled "No Easy Day" and scheduled to be released Sept. 11, comes amid a heated debate over whether members of the military - both active duty and retired - should engage in political battles.
"I haven't read the book and am unaware that anyone in the Department has reviewed it," said Pentagon press secretary George Little. White House and CIA officials also said the book had not been reviewed by their agencies.
The book announcement comes just as a group of retired special operations and CIA officers have launched a campaign accusing President Barack Obama of revealing classified details of the mission and turning the killing of bin Laden into a campaign centerpiece. The group complains that Obama has taken too much credit for the operation.
Their public complaints drew a rebuke from Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as other special operations forces, who called the partisan criticism unprofessional.
Dempsey said that such public political involvement by members of armed services erodes public confidence and trust in the military.
The author of the upcoming bin Laden book, who has left the military, is using the pseudonym Mark Owen. And in a news release from publisher Dutton, Owen describes the book as an effort to "set the record straight about one of the most important missions in U.S. military history."
He said the book is about "the guys" and the sacrifices that the special operations forces make to do the job and is written in the hope that it will inspire young men to become SEALs.
If the book sticks to his personal thoughts about the job and the mission, Owen may be in the clear. But often special operations forces must sign nondisclosure agreements. And they are not allowed to release classified information, such as intelligence data or military tactics and procedures used to ensure success of the May 2011 raid.
Christine Ball, a spokeswoman for the Penguin imprint Dutton, said the work was vetted by a former special operations attorney provided by the author.
"He vetted it for tactical, technical and procedural information as well as information that could be considered classified by compilation and found it to be without risk to national security," Ball said.
Defense Department spokesman Lt. Col. James Gregory said that if the book reveals classified information about the raid, the Pentagon would "defer to the Department of Justice."
According to Pentagon regulations, retired personnel, former employees and non-active duty members of the Reserves "shall use the DoD security review process to ensure that information they submit for public release does not compromise national security."
The CIA also could weigh in because the agency ran the secret bin Laden mission.
If there is classified information in the book, the former SEAL could face criminal charges. And even if he donates the money to charity, for instance, that is unlikely to prevent the Justice Department from suing to collect any future book proceeds.
Earlier this year, a federal judge ruled a CIA whistle-blower had to forfeit future money he earned from a scathing book he wrote about the spy agency after he failed to get approval from his former employer before publication.
The CIA accused the officer of breaking his secrecy agreement with the U.S. The former officer, who worked deep undercover, published the book in July 2008 using the pseudonym Ishmael Jones.
The CIA said his book, "The Human Factor: Inside the CIA's Dysfunctional Intelligence Culture," was submitted to the agency's publications review board under a secrecy agreement that covers books written by former employees. But Jones, who published the book before the review process was completed, said it contained no classified information.
In 2010, the Defense Department claimed a former Army intelligence officer's war memoir threatened national security. The Pentagon paid $47,000 to destroy 9,500 copies of the book, called "Operation Dark Heart: Spycraft and Special Ops on the Frontlines of Afghanistan - and the Path to Victory."
The book was written by Anthony Shaffer, whose lawyer said the Army Reserve cleared the manuscript beforehand but the Defense Department later rescinded the approval, claiming the text contained classified information.
Shaffer and the publisher agreed to remove the material.
Dutton, which announced the book's pending release Wednesday, is planning
a major first print run of 300,000 copies, Ball said. The co-author, journalist Kevin Maurer, has worked on four previous books.

It looked like it was leaking from the lower radiator hose that was coming from the engine but I don't know exactly if it's the upper or lower hose.
My car has 199665 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
I would recommend looking at either hose to determine which hose the leak is coming from with the car running as this will pressurize the system and force water to the leaking point.

Screen Printing
Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas.
Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as Screen Printing, silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.

How often do we see a bottom placed team knock the best team out of the tournament? Thursday saw a similar situation when host nation India got the better of Great Britain by a margin of 2-1 in the 3rd quarterfinal of the FIH Hockey World League Final in Raipur. Unbeaten in the tournament so far, the British were jolted by a spirited performance from the men in blue and with this win, India have made their way to the semifinals where they meet Belgium. The victory will be a memorable one as India had last beaten Great Britain at the 1980 Champions Trophy.
Goals from VR Raghunath and Talwinder Singh put India ahead in the game. In an intense fourth quarter, Simon Mantell pulled one back for Great Britain and threatened to score a second but the Indian defense managed to keep their opponents at bay.
Raghunath Scores off a Penalty Corner in Q2:
Still looking for their first victory at the Hockey World League Final, India got off to a good start but were soon closed down by the British defenders. The pool 'A' winners won a Penalty Corner in the 10th minute and PR Sreejesh had no trouble in cancelling out the incoming drag-flick.
The Indian forwards showed better application in the second quarter and eventually won their first Penalty Corner in the 19th minute. VR Raghunath drove Sardar Singh's injection to perfection as his low drag-flick darted into the right corner of the goal, leaving the British keeper clueless. India did not refrain from attacking as they found another close attempt when Ramandeep Singh's brilliant reverse hit came off the crossbar.
India's second goal came in the 39th minute when Kothajit Singh executed a perfect aerial pass for Talwinder Singh just outside the shooting circle. The latter went on to beat a British defender on the run and then slapped the ball into the goal from a narrow angle to double the lead.
Great Britain threaten India in final quarter, India enter Hockey World League semifinals:
Britain gave their all in the final quarter as they tried every possible move in order to breach the Indian defense. They also brought in a kicking fullback who replaced the goalkeeper and thus added an extra member in the attack. The 52nd minute saw them win a Penalty Corner and Simon Mantell managed to score from a deflection. The goal somewhat dismantled the Indian defense and Britain seemed to take advantage of it. Manpreet Singh and Birendra Lakra continued to remain solid and dispossessed their opponents on several occasions.
Another Penalty Corner effort in the last minute went in vain for Britain as the stopper failed to control the injection and the ball was quickly cleared by the Indian defenders. The hooter signaled end of play and the home crowd erupted in joy. India have made a remarkable comeback by stunning the best team of the tournament. They face Belgium in the semifinals of the Hockey World League and the fans can be assured of yet another mouth-watering contest.
Match Summary:
India 2 (VR Raghunath 19′, Talwinder Singh 39′) beat Great Britain 1 (Simon Mantell 52′)

Tony, Stockbroker
Tony has been a stockbroker, working for ABN AMRO Australia, for one year now. He completed a Graduate Diploma in Management, worked in senior management for several years, and followed his desire to become a stockbroker because of his love of investing and company analysis.
What's a typical work day involve?
The work is everything that Tony expected it to be. The new and different situations he faces every day keep his job challenging and interesting, and because there is always a lot of information to keep up to date with, there's no opportunity to get bored.
"There is so much reading in this job. I'm constantly being bombarded with new information. There's just so much going on beyond the trading of stocks," says Tony.
A working day typically involves waking up early (around 6am), watching the finance channels on cable to see the changes in the US finances overnight, then getting into work by 7am. Once at work, he reads the newspapers to keep up to date, and at 7:45am attends a daily national phone meeting that covers a variety of topics he may need to know about for the day's trading.
Then there's more reading, contacting clients, identifying opportunities, and executing trades. At 4pm when the market closes, Tony calls his clients back, chases up the back end of his work, does some more research, follows new leads and undertakes marketing initiatives.
How do you become a stockbroker?
To become a stockbroker, it will help if you have an understanding of the financial sector and markets, strong people skills, good judgement, and knowledge of accounting and other business practices.
What are the pros and cons?
What's the best thing about being a stockbroker? "Being able to design plans and implement portfolios for clients from scratch, and making large sums of money both for clients and for yourself!"
However, stockbroking does have its downsides, like, "Client bad debts and the never-ending paperwork!"
What career opportunities are there?
Stockbrokers have a number of career pathways available to them. "You always have the option of moving into related roles, such as financial advising, analyst roles, funds management and corporate capital raising. Possibilities are endless."
There has recently been more of a move towards 'holistic' financial advising. This has made the role of the stockbroker something akin to that of financial planner.
Any advice for new players?
When asked what advice he had for people interested in becoming stockbrokers, Tony says, " It's important that you love what you do, as it's very demanding in terms of time and effort. Learn as much as you can about financial markets. This will be really beneficial in the long run."

Crime - Sacto 911
Crime Q&A: Was indictment dismissed against Granite Bay man accused of bank fraud?
Q: A few weeks ago you reported an update on the case of a Granite Bay man, Michael Sahlbach, who was originally arrested in 2014 for alleged bank fraud in connection with National Credit Acceptance Co. I heard that he was exonerated and the federal indictment was dismissed. Is that true?
David, Granite Bay
A: Michael T. Sahlbach was arrested in May 2014 on six counts of bank and wire fraud following indictment by a federal grand jury.
According to court records available online, Sahlbach signed a plea agreement May 13 in which he pleaded guilty to subscribing to a false tax return, and the government agreed to move to dismiss the indictment. The indictment was subsequently dismissed May 27, and Sahlbach is scheduled for sentencing Oct. 14 for the false tax return offense.
The 2014 indictment stemmed from his activity as owner and operator of National Credit Acceptance Inc., a Sacramento-based debt collection business. The firm purchased debt from other companies at a discount and then attempted to collect on the debt. For that operation, according to the indictment, Sahlbach opened a $25 million line of credit with First bank by agreeing that his firm would buy debt by providing 15 percent of the purchase cost and the bank financing 85 percent of the debt's cost.
He allegedly told the bank on several occasions that he had contracted with Lender Exchange to purchase debt pools, but did not tell the bank that he controlled Lender Exchange or that he had registered Lender Exchange under the alias M. Hansen, with a phony address. The indictment alleged that Sahlbach transferred funds he received from First Bank to other bank accounts he controlled. The funds then allegedly were used for business expenses and to provide money for National Credit Acceptance's required 15 percent contribution to get additional funds from First Bank. Sahlbach later defaulted on his entire line with First Bank, federal authorities said.

President Obama and his South Korean counterpart, Park Geun-hye, presented a unified front Tuesday against North Korea's aggressive recent actions, calling on the isolated nation to give up its nuclear program as promised in return for international aid and acceptance.
Speaking at a joint news conference after morning White House meetings with Park, Obama said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's belligerent attempts to divide the United States and South Korea have not succeeded. He also reasserted Washington's commitment to defend South Korea and U.S. allies in the region from North Korean aggression.
"Today is further evidence that North Korea has failed again," Obama said. "The days when North Korea could create a crisis and elicit concessions, those days are over."
The visit is Park's first overseas trip as president and comes as the United States and South Korea mark the 60th anniversary of their mutual defense treaty. Park, whose father was assassinated while he held the presidency, became South Korea's first female president in February.
Obama had a strong working relationship with Park's predecessor, Lee Myung-bak, with whom he reached a free-trade agreement after difficult negotiations.
Obama and Park had spoken by phone amid the North Korean threats, but this visit marked their first face-to-face meeting. On Wednesday, Park will address a joint meeting of Congress, an opportunity that Obama said was reserved for "our closest friends."
Obama and Park said the two discussed a range of common interests, including the global economy, energy policy, the Syrian civil war and U.S. plans in Afghanistan. But, as expected, North Korea emerged as the most pressing mutual concern, and the leaders made clear that Kim would not secure new assistance or support through threats.
"North Korea will not be able to survive if it only clings to its development of nuclear weapons at the expense of its people's happiness," Park said. She offered aid in cooperation with other nations if the North Korean leadership lived up to its international agreements.
In an interview after meeting with Obama, Park said she had not abandoned her campaign promise to build trust with North Korea. Although South Korea remains willing to work with the United States and the international community to help with the North's development, she said, she envisions a "new kind of Korean Peninsula" where "we would never tolerate North Korean nuclear weapons, provocations would carry consequences, and threats would not pay."
Trust, she said, "is about keeping the window open at all times" for dialogue. "Of course, I would meet with him if the need arose," she said of Kim, the young North Korean leader. "But what use would it be at this exact moment?"
Park deflected a question about South Korean interest in having its own nuclear deterrent, saying there was "no way that we can live with North Korean nuclear weapons hanging over our head" and praising U.S.-South Korean security cooperation.
In the interview, Park spoke at length about a regional organization she has proposed to increase communication and comity among the nations of Northeast Asia. She said such an organization, which she described as finding "synergy" with the administration's rebalancing of U.S. policy toward the Asia-Pacific region, could be helpful in persuading China to take a more robust stand in reining in North Korea.
"We can't expect China to do everything . . . but there is room for more," she said. "North Korea is very heavily dependent on China. . . . They could perhaps strengthen their persuasion."
But Park made clear that the proposed organization could be equally important in addressing what she called "historical" differences among countries of the region, specifically South Korea's strained ties with Japan over atrocities committed during its colonial rule of Korea from 1910 to the end of World War II in 1945.
Those unhealed wounds were reopened this year when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe defended visits of senior defense officials and lawmakers to a shrine that Seoul considers a symbol of Japan's wartime aggression. The shrine honors Japanese war dead, including those convicted as war criminals by an Allied tribunal.
Although Japan and South Korea share the same political and economic values, Park said, "the Japanese have been opening past wounds and have been letting them fester. . . . It arrests our ability to build on momentum" in areas of cooperation.
Park described the coexistence of deepening economic interdependence with historical geopolitical tensions as the "Asia paradox" and said the United States could play a significant role in helping to resolve such problems in the region.

New research published in the journal Clinical Psychological Science suggests playing a science-based app on a smartphone for 25 minutes can reduce levels of anxiety in people who are stressed.
The authors suggest turning scientifically supported interventions into game apps offers a new way to attain measurable mental health and behavioral benefits for people who have high levels of anxiety.
Lead author Dr. Tracy Dennis, a clinical psychologist of Hunter College, The City University of New York, says given the huge gap between need and ease of access to mental health services, it is essential to look for alternative ways of delivering treatment in ways that are more affordable, engaging and accessible - hence the idea of a smartphone app.
"Millions of people suffering from psychological distress fail to seek or receive mental health services," says Dr. Dennis, "A key factor here is that many evidence-based treatments are burdensome - time consuming, expensive, difficult to access, and perceived as stigmatizing."
Study tested app based on attention-bias modification training
The new app is a "game" based on a new cognitive approach to treating anxiety known as attention-bias modification training (ABMT).
The core principle of ABMT is to train patients to ignore a perceived threat and to turn their attention instead to a non-threatening stimulus. For example, to ignore an angry face and focus instead on a happy or neutral face.
The approach has been shown to reduce worry and stress in people with high anxiety.
The app tested in the study is a game where the player follows two characters around the screen and has to trace their paths as quickly and accurately as possible.
The researchers recruited 78 participants who had scored high on an anxiety survey and invited them to play the game for either 25 or 45 minutes, and then give a short speech while being recorded on video - a stressful experience for them to undergo.
Meanwhile, another comparison group of high anxiety participants played a dummy game not designed on ABMT principles, and also gave speeches that were recorded.
The researchers then assessed the amount of nervous behavior on the videos, and the participants reported their feelings about their performance.
Playing the ABTM-based app led to reduced anxiety symptoms during stressful event
The results showed that the participants who played the ABTM-based app showed less nervous behavior and reported less negative feelings about their speech than those who played the placebo game.Dr. Dennis says that even the shorter, 25-minute version of the ABMT app had "potent effects on anxiety and stress measured in the lab," and explains:
"This is good news in terms of the potential to translate these technologies into mobile app format because use of apps tends to be brief and 'on the go.'"
She says further investigation is already under way to find out if even shorter versions of the game - similar in length to others played on smartphones - will also be of measurable benefit to people with high anxiety, for example:
"We're examining whether use of the app in brief 10-minute sessions over the course of a month successfully reduces stress and promotes positive birth outcomes in moderately anxious pregnant women."
The hope is to develop smartphone-based personal tools for mental health
So far, the app has only been tested on people who score high on anxiety surveys - it has not been tested on people with clinically diagnosed anxiety. Nevertheless, the researchers believe their findings furnish a compelling case to develop ABMT apps as "cognitive vaccines" to prevent anxiety and stress.
It may even be possible to develop apps for other mental health conditions, as Dr. Dennis explains:
"Our hope is to develop highly accessible and engaging evidence-based mobile intervention strategies that can be used in conjunction with traditional therapy or that can be 'self- curated' by the individual as personal tools to promote mental wellness."
The app (iOS only) is under the name of "Personal Zen." Dr. Dennis went on to say:
"It's a beta version and we are planning a major redesign, but our clinical tests support efficacy of the app in this format for stress and anxiety reduction. We have several ongoing studies, but please know that this is not yet a validated clinical treatment for anxiety.
However, early indications suggest that using it around 10 minutes a day several times a week is a good "dosage." You can also use it right before a stressful event to take stress down a notch."
For further information please visit .
The National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities supported the study.
Medical News Today recently learned how smartphones might be used to diagnose diseases in real time. Using nanotechnology that will only require a smartphone and a $20 lens attachment to read results, a team from the US is developing a fast, cheap disease diagnostic system that they hope one day could be used in the field, such as to help first responders at an industrial accident quickly assess any danger.

The repair time depends on the time of year, location and severity of the break. Simple repairs may take only a day or two while more severe breaks may take weeks to fix.
At any time there can be a number of underground utility emergencies throughout Lethbridge. Repair work must be prioritized based on factors such as the risk of property damage, impact to critical facilities (like schools and the hospital) and if there are any businesses or homes without water or sewer service. Sometimes we will leave an open excavation for a couple of days to attend to more urgent priorities. We understand that open excavations in your street are a significant inconvenience and we always endeavour to close up excavations as soon as possible.
Our residents are our eyes and ears in the community. If you see water pooling on the streets or have a loss of water pressure in your home, please call our 24 hour Trouble Line at 311.

Everyone should go to Hell, Michigan
HELL, MICHIGANPopulation: 72 Settled in 1838 by George Reeves, he was asked what he thought the town should be named. "I don't care," Reeves responded. "You can name it 'Hell' if you want." Hell started out as a grist mill and general store on the banks of what is now Hell Creek. Reeves' habit of paying the local farmers with home-distilled whiskey led many farmers' wives to comment about their bartering husbands, "He's gone to Hell again." The name stuck and Hell became an official town in 1841. Until 2014, Hell held the Guiness World Record for having the largest hearse parade in the world. (Un)official Hell Wedding Vows: "Hell yes!"
