It is well-known that some of the classical location problems with polyhedral gauges can be solved in polynomial time by finding a finite dominating set, i.e. a finite set of candidates guaranteed to contain at least one optimal location. In this paper it is first established that this result holds for a much larger class of problems than currently considered in the literature. The model for which this result can be proven includes, for instance, location problems with attraction and repulsion, and location-allocation problems. Next, it is shown that the approximation of general gauges by polyhedral ones in the objective function of our general model can be analyzed with regard to the subsequent error in the optimal objective value. For the approximation problem two different approaches are described, the sandwich procedure and the greedy algorithm. Both of these approaches lead - for fixed epsilon - to polynomial approximation algorithms with accuracy epsilon for solving the general model considered in this paper.

There are 5 types of audit outcomes.
|Positive balance
|Negative balance
A municipality's cash balance refers to the money it has in the bank that it can access easily. If a municipality's bank account is in overdraft it has a negative cash balance. Negative cash balances are a sign of serious financial management problems. A municipality should have enough cash on hand from month to month so that it can pay salaries, suppliers and so on.Play video
|More than 3 months
|Between 1 and 3 months
|Less than 1 month
Cash coverage measures the length of time, in months, that a municipality could manage to pay for its day-to-day expenses using just its cash reserves. So, if a municipality had to rely on its cash reserves to pay all short-term bills, how long could it last? Ideally, a municipality should have at least three months' of cash cover.Play video
|Up to 5%
|Between 5% and 15%
|More than 15%
This indicator is about how much more a municipalty spent on its operating expenses, than was planned and budgeted for. It is important that a municipality controls its day-to-day expenses in order to avoid cash shortages. If a municipality sigificantly overspends its operating budget this is a sign of poor operating controls or something more sinister.
Overspending by up to 5 percent is usually condoned; overspending in excess of 15 percent is a sign of high risk.Play video
|Up to 5%
|Between 5% and 15%
|More than 15%
Capital spending includes spending on infrastructure projects like new water pipes or building a library. Underspending on a capital budget can lead to an under-delivery of basic services. This indicator looks at the percentage by which actual spending falls short of the budget for capital expenses. Persistent underspending may be due to underresourced municipalities which cannot manage large projects on time.
Municipalities should aim to spend at least 95 percent of their capital budgets. Failure to spend even 85 percent is a clear warning sign.Play video
|Project Description
|Bulk Mains: Construction of a bulk water pipeline from Marthins Dam (Wakkerstroom) to Volksrust WTW for 35km
|R 31.5 million
|Water Treatment Works: Upgrading and refurbishment of the Volksrust WWTW from 4ML to 8ML
|R 8.5 million
|MV Switching Stations: Construction of a 10 MVA 88/11KV substation in Vukuzakhe ward 1 (Phase 3)
|R 4.4 million
|Centres: Procurement of machinery for Cooperatives
|R 4.0 million
|Roads: Supply and deliver of road construction material for Ward 7 and 8
|R 3.4 million
|More than 8%
|Less than 8%
Infrastructure must be maintained so that service delivery is not affected. This indicator looks at how much money was budgeted for repairs and maintenance, as a percentage of total fixed assets (property, plant and equipment). For every R10 spent on building/replacing infrastructure, R0.80 should be spent every year on repairs and maintenance.
This translates into a Repairs and Maintenance budget that should be 8 percent of the value of property, plant and equipment.Play video
|More than 0%
Unauthorised expenditure means any spending that was not budgeted for or that is unrelated to the municpal department's function. An example is using municipal funds to pay for unbudgeted projects. Irregular expenditure is spending that goes against the relevant legislation, municipal policies or by-laws. An example is awarding a contract that did not go through tender procedures. Fruitless and wasteful expenditure concerns spending which was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised. An example of such expenditure would include paying a deposit for a venue and not using it and losing the deposit.Play video
Note: Since calling expenditures unauthorised, fruitless and wasteful or irregular can involve quite a lot of debate, the numbers used are the restated audited amounts 18 months after the financial year end - part of the Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework.
|More than 1.5
|Between 1 and 1.5
|Less than 1
The current ratio compares the value of a municipality's short-term assets (cash, bank deposits, etc) compared with its short-term liabilities (creditors, loans due and so on). The higher the ratio, the better. The normal range of the current ratio is 1.5 to 2 (the municipality has assets more than 1.5 to 2 times its current debts). Anything less than that and the municipality may struggle to keep up with its payments.Play video
Note: The quarterly summary looks at the state at the end of each quarter. If the monthly data is missing for the last month in the quarter, the previous month in that quarter. If all months are missing, that quarter is shown as blank.
|More than 1
|Less than 1
Liquidity ratios show the ability of a municipality to pay its current liabilities (monies it owes immediately such as rent and salaries) as they become due, and their long-term liabilities (such as loans) as they become current.
These ratios also show the level of cash the municipality has and / or the ability it has to turn other assets into cash to pay off liabilities and other current obligations.Play video
Note: The quarterly summary looks at the state at the end of each quarter. If the monthly data is missing for the last month in the quarter, the previous month in that quarter. If all months are missing, that quarter is shown as blank.
|95% or more
|Less than 95%
Municipalities don't manage to collect all of the money they earn through rates and service charges. This measure looks at the percentage of new revenue that a municipality collects. It is also referred to as the Current Debtors Collection Ratio.Play video
Note: The quarterly summary looks at the state at the end of each quarter. If the monthly data is missing for the last month in the quarter, the previous month in that quarter. If all months are missing, that quarter is shown as blank.
The more a municipality is able to generate its own income, the more self-sufficient it is. Municipalities should not be too reliant on transfers and grants from other spheres of government.Play video
This shows how much of a municipality's income it is able to generate itself (through property rates, service charges, etc), compared with how much it receives as transfers and grants from national government. The more a municipality is able to generate its own income, the more self-sufficient it is.Play video
|within norms
|25% to 40%
|outside norms
|less than 25% or more than 40%
Employee-related costs are typically the largest portion of operating expenditure, but they should not grow so large that they threaten the sustainability of the operating budget.
The normal range for this indicator is between 25% - 40% of total operating expenditure. Municipalities must guard against spending too much on staff while also making sure they have the people they need to deliver services effectively.
|within norms
|up to 5%
|outside norms
|more than 5%
Private contractors are sometimes needed for certain work, but they are usually more expensive than municipal staff. This should be kept to a minimum and efforts should be made to provide services in-house, where possible.
This measure is normally between 2 percent and 5 percent of total operating expenditure.

Parents: Speechless after Pope hugged disabled son
Gondreaus of Rhode Island attended Easter Mass
A Rhode Island couple says they were speechless and moved to tears when Pope Francis hugged and kissed their 8-year-old son in St. Peter's Square on Easter Sunday.
Paul and Christina Gondreau of Johnston and their five children attended Easter Mass at the Vatican. The pope cradled their son, Dominic, who has cerebral palsy.
Videos and photos of the pontiff standing in the "popemobile" and holding Dominic were transmitted worldwide. Pope Francis also hugged and kissed other children as he greeted the crowd after Mass.
Paul Gondreau is a theology professor at Providence College and is teaching this semester in Rome.
A story on the Providence College website says Paul Gondreau called the moment "an incredibly moving encounter." He says his son teaches him daily lessons about how to love.

Shelley Toreson, who lives near Reno, Nev., had health insurance for years — but not anymore. Instead, she is part of an unusual Nevada nonprofit that helps connect 12,000 uninsured residents to doctors and hospitals that are willing to accept a lower, negotiated fee for their services.
"The cost just kept going up and the coverage kept getting less," Toreson says, explaining her frustration with her old insurance.
So instead, the 62-year-old signed up with the Access to Healthcare Network, a medical discount plan that helps uninsured residents with low and moderate incomes get care from 2,000 providers around the state. In addition to the provider charges, members also pay $35 a month to the network. That fee buys them ongoing help in finding providers and navigating complicated medical bills.
One in five people in Nevada is uninsured.
Toreson says that now that she has signed on with Access to Healthcare, she knows the cost of a mammogram or other procedure upfront, so the charges for her medical care no longer catch her off guard.
She recently needed gallbladder surgery, for example, and because she knew the cost, was able to borrow about $1,700 from family and friends to pay for it. She had to wait about three weeks to get the surgery, she says. But a network care coordinator helped her work out the details.
"They're so willing to work with you on whatever kind of problem you might have," Toreson says. That wasn't her experience with traditional insurers, she says, where the underlying attitude often seemed to be, "How are we going to not pay this?"
Based in Reno, Access to Healthcare is the brainchild of Sherri Rice, who has worked for 25 years as a consultant to various nonprofit organizations.
Health care and government groups in Reno came to Rice for help in figuring out a way to get care for the uninsured. She says she told them that the key stakeholders — including doctors, hospitals, government officials and financiers, as well as patients — would need to take some responsibility to make the discount plan work.
"I started by asking the hospitals for the [discounted] rates," recalls Rice, who now serves as the network's CEO. "I asked the uninsured to pay cash at the time of service plus a membership fee. I asked the providers to lower their rates. I asked the government to put money in to help sustain the network. I asked everyone to do something."
Rice calls Access to Healthcare a "shared-responsibility model" because the patient and the provider each contribute, and neither is overburdened.
"Our rules are very strict for our members," she says. There's a swift and straightforward penalty for any member who doesn't pay a medical bill, or who is a no-show at a medical appointment more than once without calling to cancel. "I kick them out of this network," Rice says, "and they can't ever come back."
She says about two-thirds of the members are employed but have a job that doesn't include health benefits.
Helen Lidholm, the CEO of St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno, where Toreson had her gallbladder surgery, says her hospital is happy to take network patients. "This is an organization that is taking the poor, many of them disenfranchised, and giving them an opportunity to participate in such an important aspect of life — [their] own health care," Lidholm says.
But, she adds, the model works only because her hospital gets higher payments for other patients from private and public insurers. And even with those payments, Lidholm says her hospital loses money on discounted surgeries like Toreson's.
"It's a good deal," she says. "Could we afford to do that for everyone that walks through the door? No."
The negotiated fees that network members are charged must be paid upfront and can add up — particularly for people with chronic or expensive conditions like cancer. Some network members have to raise money through bake sales or other charity events to pay their bills.
Still, Lidholm says giving care to the uninsured before a health problem escalates into an emergency winds up saving everyone the higher cost of urgent care. And the network's coordinators do a good job, she says, of helping their members stay out of urgent situations.
"Access to Healthcare Network has the lowest emergency room utilization of any payer that I work with," Lidholm says. "And that's remarkable."
Starting next year, two-thirds of the Access to Healthcare members will probably gain traditional insurance coverage because the new federal health law requires them to have it. Some members will be eligible for federal subsidies to help them pay for it, Rice says, and the network is partnering with St. Mary's Health Plans to offer them policies that comply with the Affordable Care Act.
But Rice says the network will continue because there will still be people who fall through the cracks — including immigrants who are not in the country legally, and people who, for whatever reason, decide not to buy health insurance and make too little money to be subject to the federal mandate that requires it.
This story is part of a reporting partnership that includes Capital Public Radio, NPR and Kaiser Health News.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
A couple of stories about health care in this part of the program, and we begin in Nevada where more than one in five people lacks health insurance. Even under the Affordable Care Act, many people in the state may not end up getting coverage. But there is another option. Capital Public Radio's Pauline Bartolone has a story about a network that connects people without insurance to health care at reduced rates.
PAULINE BARTOLONE, BYLINE: For 25 years, Sherri Rice's job has been to start up or shape up nonprofit organizations. She says that's why health care and government groups in Reno asked her to figure out how to get care for the uninsured.
SHERRI RICE: And then I sat down one night with two gins and tonics and started writing on a napkin.
BARTOLONE: Rice made a diagram of major community institutions: hospitals, government, bankers. She thought they could all be part of creating a new health care model, a medical discount plan.
RICE: I started by asking the hospitals for the rates. I asked the uninsured to pay cash at the time of service, plus a membership fee. I asked the providers to lower their rates. I asked the government to put money in to help sustain the network. I asked everyone to do something.
BARTOLONE: Seven years later, Rice's vision is now a nonprofit with dozens of staff members and a central office in Reno. It's called Access to Healthcare Network. Twelve-thousand uninsured Nevadans statewide are connected to 2,000 providers, offering almost every medical service at a discounted rate. An additional $35 monthly fee pays for coordinators to help members understand their health care options and what they're responsible for.
Patients pay their doctors at the time of service. Rice calls it a shared responsibility model - everybody contributes something, but no one group is overburdened.
RICE: Our rules are very strict for our members. Two no calls, no shows to any of our providers, any nonpayment - any nonpayment - and I kick them out of this network, and they can't ever come back.
BARTOLONE: Rice says about two-thirds of the members are employed but don't have health benefits at the job. The network gets them into the health care system and leaves insurance companies out of the picture.
Sixty-two-year-old member Shelley Toreson likes it that way. She pages through medical paperwork in her home near Reno. She had health insurance for years.
SHELLEY TORESON: And the cost just kept going up, and the coverage kept getting less.
BARTOLONE: Toreson said she finally had to drop her health insurance. When she had insurance, medical costs always caught her off guard. But not now.
TORESON: Like, right now, I'm going to go have a mammogram. Well, I know the cost upfront, and I know that that's all there's going to be. And, you know, I'm happy with that.
BARTOLONE: Toreson recently had gallbladder surgery. She borrowed about $1,700 from family and friends, and she waited about three weeks to get the surgery. Her care coordinator helped her.
TORESON: They're so willing to work with you on whatever kind of problem you might have. Whereas, I think the health insurance, anytime you call an insurance company, their first thing is like, how are we going to not pay this?
BARTOLONE: Toreson had her surgery at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno. St. Mary's CEO Helen Lidholm says they're happy to take network patients.
HELENE LIDHOLM: This is an organization that are really taking the poor - and many of them disenfranchised - and giving them an opportunity to participate in such an important aspect of life: your own health care.
BARTOLONE: But Lidholm says this model works only because the hospital gets higher payments from private and public insurance. She says it loses money on discounted surgeries like Toreson's gallbladder procedure.
LIDHOLM: It's a good deal. Could we afford to do that for everybody that walks through the door? No.
BARTOLONE: She says giving care to the uninsured before it reaches an emergency saves everyone the higher cost of urgent care. And Lidholm says the network does a good job at keeping their members out of urgent situations.
LIDHOLM: Access to Health Care Network has the lowest ER utilization of any payer that I work with. And that's remarkable.
BARTOLONE: Starting next year, two-thirds of the Access members will probably gain coverage because of the federal health law and drop their membership. But Rice says there will still be people who fall through the cracks: undocumented people and people who are priced out of the requirement to buy health insurance.

LONDON — A vow, a ring, a kiss.
It was a simple thing, really, in its essentials: a young couple, quite evidently in love, exchanging their "troth" of togetherness.
But Friday's marriage of Prince William, a future King of Canada, and his picture-of-poise bride, Kate Middleton, was also something more — a glittering spectacle witnessed by nearly 2,000 guests at historic Westminster Abbey, at least 800,000 flag-flapping well-wishers on the streets of central London and as many as two billion television viewers around the world.
It was also an event certain to fuel the hope among defenders of the monarchy — in both Britain and Canada — that a time-worn institution has truly begun to replenish itself for a younger generation, one embodied in the newly wed and newly titled Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Despite an undercurrent of sadness over the groom's missing mother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, the "wedding of the century" that unfolded under a cloudy London sky seemed bathed in a spirit of genuine rejoicing, the delight on full display among the crowds outside the majestic church and also — somehow surprisingly — in the relaxed manner and glowing faces of the event's two principal participants.
From the pageantry-draped marriage ritual, to the horse-drawn carriage ride through the historic heart of the British capital, to the balcony of Buckingham Palace for their much-anticipated kiss, Prince William and his new bride marked a fairy-tale beginning Friday to what one watcher called their "happily ever after."
Standing next to William's grandparents — Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip — his father Prince Charles and brother Prince Harry, the newest royal couple spent several minutes smiling and waving from the balcony to the massive crowd that had gathered outside the palace.
One flower girl briefly covered her ears to block out the cheers until the bride leaned over and waved with the little girl. A group of Royal Air Force planes flew in perfect formation over Buckingham Palace in tribute to the couple.
Earlier, after exchanging marriage vows at the ancient abbey before Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, William took Kate's hand and slipped a gold ring onto her finger to make their union official. There was a brief moment of awkwardness — instantly familiar to anyone who has struggled to push a ring past a knuckle — but the slight wrinkle lent a common touch to the sumptuous ceremony.
The wedding band was made of Welsh gold, which was given to the prince by the Queen shortly after the couple announced their engagement.
William chose not to wear a wedding ring.
There was another endearing scene during the hour-long ceremony when — according to a lip-reader hired by one British newspaper — William turned with a smile to Michael Middleton, the bride's father, and said: "We were supposed to have just a small family affair."
Yet for all of the onlookers lining the route to the wedding, the heavy crush of international media attention and the countless millions watching at home all over the globe, there was something intimate about the event.
There were whispered jokes and knowing looks exchanged by the groom and his best man, Prince Harry. There was a chuckle shared, mid-sermon, by the fairy-tale couple. There were unforced smiles and easy gestures in abundance.
When the couple later took a spin near Buckingham Palace in a convertible sports car — licence plate "JU5T WED" and balloons trailing behind — the sight of William at the wheel next to his tousle-haired wife of two hours added another dash of the ordinary to a highly extraordinary day.
At one point in the ceremony, before the exchange of vows, William also mouthed the words, "You look beautiful," to his bride, who was dressed in a veiled ivory gown and tiara, her dark hair down.
The gown, created by British fashion designer Sarah Burton, had a nearly three-metre-long train. The "halo" tiara, made in 1936, was loaned to Kate by the Queen, who received it from her mother as an 18th-birthday present.
Prince William wore the red tunic of the Irish Guards regiment, with a blue sash.
The abbey itself was decorated with eight seven-metre-tall trees, six English Field Maple and two Hornbeam. Elaborate floral displays made from white azaleas, lilac and euphorbias were also arranged throughout the church.
Just hours before the wedding ceremony took place, Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen was bestowing new titles on Prince William and his bride-to-be.
"Prince William thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge and Miss Catherine Middleton on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge," the announcement stated.
William also was given two other titles: the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus.
In his address to the couple during the ceremony, Rev. Richard Chartres said the entire world is celebrating the couple's wedding.
"This is a joyful day. It is good that people from every continent are able to share," he said to the couple. "This is, as every wedding should be, a day of hope."
As William and Kate emerged from the abbey, where 16 royal weddings have been held over the centuries a roar went up from the crowd assembled outside.
Hundreds of thousands of British citizens and countless tourists from abroad, including Canada, waved flags, sipped champagne and immersed themselves in the moment.
The wedding is the biggest event at Westminster since the 1997 funeral of Diana, who died in a Paris car accident a year after her divorce from Prince Charles.
MacKenzie Geidt and Tam Huynh, a couple from San Francisco, said they came to London to experience something unthinkable in the United States, noting there's far too much divisiveness among the political elite back home.
"I can't think of anything that would bring people together like this," said Huynh, 35.
"Our celebrities are such low-lives," added Geidt, wearing a turquoise feather fascinator she ordered months ago for the grand occasion.
Queen Elizabeth was dressed in a yellow, Angela Kelly-designed primrose dress with hand-sewn beading at the neck in the shape of sunrays.
Foreign monarchs and their companions sat behind the Royal Family.
Among the invited guests were several Canadians, including Gov. Gen. David Johnston and his wife, Sharon. Shortly before the ceremony, in a sign-of-the-times message sent from the viceregal Twitter account, Johnston revealed that Prince William "will wear the Canadian Forces Decoration at the Royal Wedding. A special relationship with our regiments."
In a wedding-eve interview in London with the CBC, Johnston said be believes Canadians feel "a great deal of affection" for "these two lovely young people" linked to Canada through its constitutional monarchy.
"This is a wonderful historical event, and of course the abbey is a remarkable historical institution," said Johnston, predicting the marriage will bolster support for the monarchy in Canada. "They're a very attractive young couple, and this is a wonderful story of a commoner marrying a prince."
Canadian businessman Galen Weston and his wife Hilary — a former lieutenant-governor of Ontario — were also in attendance, as was music icon Elton John and his Canadian partner, David Furnish of Toronto.
Autumn Phillips, the Montreal-born wife of Queen Elizabeth's eldest grandson, Peter Phillips, arrived with other members of the Royal Family. The former Autumn Kelly recently gave birth to the Queen's first great-grandchild, a daughter named Savannah.
Karen Gordon, an Alberta-born philanthropist and former fashion model, was at the wedding with her fiance Earl Spencer, William's uncle and brother of the late Diana.
After arriving at the abbey with Prince Harry about an hour before the bride, William strolled casually up the red carpet with his brother before greeting and chatting with Spencer and other guests at the front of the church.
Kate and her father left a downtown hotel just before 6 a.m. ET. During the short limousine ride to Westminster Abbey, she seemed relatively calm and waved frequently to excited spectators crowded along the road.
Kate's younger sister, Pippa, the maid of honour, shepherded four young bridesmaids throughout the ceremony.
Kate's brother James read verses from the book of Romans, chapter 12.
"Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good," he said during the reading. "Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour."
Outside the church, Carla Beyreis and Michelle Doucet of Halifax said they'd promised each other five years ago they'd attend Prince William's wedding.
They made good on that promise Friday, arriving in the darkness of 2 a.m. local time.
"They're a perfect match," Beyreis said of William and Kate. "We're looking forward to see them reigning."
In Canada, many admirers of the monarchy got up well before dawn to take part in special events celebrating the royal wedding.
At Toronto's King Edward Hotel, Kusam Kohil-Talwar donned a plastic silver tiara and remembered wearing her pyjamas 30 years ago when she got up early to watch the wedding of Charles and Diana.
When she heard about Prince William's engagement to Kate Middleton, she said, she knew she wanted to celebrate this marriage a bit differently.
"I'm here to attend a wedding," said Kohil-Talwar, "and because we all need a happily ever after."
Canadians' affection for William and Kate is likely to be stoked this summer when the couple arrives in this country for their first overseas royal visit as husband and wife.
The couple is scheduled to attend Canada Day festivities in Ottawa and visit other parts of the country during a planned tour that has thrilled the nation's royal watchers.
The romance of William and Kate was not without some drama. The couple met while studying at the University of St. Andrew's in Scotland.
While Kate and William were long-rumoured to be bound for the altar, the two broke up briefly in 2007 before reconciling and resuming the relationship.
The prince finally proposed during a vacation to Kenya last October.
On Nov. 16, the pair announced their engagement to a sea of reporters. Kate wore an oval sapphire engagement ring that once belonged to Diana.
Because of the affection many felt for the late Diana — dubbed "the People's Princess" by former prime minister Tony Blair — Friday's wedding was widely expected to be an emotional affair for William.
But there were few outward signs of sorrow on this day, as the beaming prince appeared devoted, in every sense of the word, to his future queen.

Feature on Cubs outfielder Cliff Floyd, a native of the Chicago area.
For the first two months of his professional return to his hometown team, Cliff Floyd had the comfort of having his parents, Cornelius and Olivia, show up, along with various family members and friends, to most of Floyd's home games with the Cubs at Wrigley Field. If he got a key hit or home run, Floyd could glance at his family and friends — seated behind the third-base dugout — and flash a smile in their direction. If he struck out or heard some boos — as he did in the Cubs' home opener — he knew there were at least seven fans on hand who were still in his corner. That's the type of comfort money can't buy. However, things changed quite a bit earlier this month. Cornelius Floyd went to the hospital on June 8, suffering from a kidney ailment. It's been Cliff who's been providing plenty of comfort to his family during these trying times. And, because Floyd is at home and still able to play baseball, he's also able to get some comfort from his second family, his Cubs teammates. Floyd, a Markham native who starred at Thornwood High School, broke into the majors in 1993 with Montreal. Now 34, he's happy to be playing at home. "I wanted to come home," said Floyd, who signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Cubs during the offseason. "It's been great to see my family. But I never knew my dad would be sick in bed like this." Make no mistake. If he signed to play with a team outside of Chicago, Floyd still would have been there for his father for the first week or so when the prognosis for Cornelius was grim. However, Cliff would have been away from baseball. As it was, Cliff missed three games in Atlanta (June 8-10) and the Cubs' June 11 home game against Houston, but has played the rest of the way. He had a hectic schedule during the Cubs' last homestand, playing at Wrigley Field and visiting his father at the hospital. Floyd was still able to balance family time with his career. Because the elder Floyd is improving, Cliff was able to make this week's trip to Texas. He returns home today when the Cubs open a three-game series against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. "If I wasn't playing with the Cubs I would have still definitely been home the whole time," Floyd said. "You never want to miss time with your team, but I think that the family comes first. Everything else takes a back seat. And my teammates understand that." Having baseball break up some of the pressure is also valuable. "For Cliff, this is a time away from things," said teammate Derrek Lee, who has gone through a family tragedy of his own the past two seasons after his daughter suffered loss of vision in one eye. "Obviously, it will still be on his mind. But he can joke around with the guys and play baseball and take his mind away from it a little bit. It's good for him. "Obviously it's his father and it's going to be on his mind, but he does a great job being upbeat around us. The key is that the normalcy of being around here will help. What he's going through is no fun but he has to deal with it. I think it's good for him to come here to the park and have a normal routine." Before his family's troubles, Floyd had a system for avoiding the "hometown hero" trap since joining the Cubs. Cornelius and Olivia took care of all of the ticket demands. They usually took two tickets each game, leaving five tickets remaining. Friends and family members went through his parents for tickets while Floyd was able to concentrate on baseball. "It worked tremendously. I wish I could have done that early on in my career," he said. "It's awesome, it really is. It's a situation where you can't really complain about. You give them the tickets and they take care of it." The hometown player also has to play diplomat just about every game. For Floyd, it usually means chatting with someone he hasn't seen in ages. Sometimes it means yelling "hello" back to someone he sort of recognizes but just can't place. Sometimes it could mean a quick brush-off if he has to go to the batting cage to work or to head back to the clubhouse. "I always feel like I'm welcomed back," Floyd said, "but sometimes it gets old. It's not that it's anything annoying, but it's like I need to get going back to the clubhouse and relax before the game starts. It's always good to see old friends. It's never bad. But once in a while, it catches you off guard." Speaking of being caught off guard ... a former Thornwood teammate, Mark Nardi, stunned Floyd earlier this year when the former showed up at Wrigley Field. "This guy would kill about his hair back in high school," Floyd said. "I saw him the other day and he was bald-headed. It threw me for a loop. It's pretty cool to see some guys and to see how they changed." And there are those in the crowd who yell, "Hey, Floyd, I struck you out in ... (fill in the time frame or level of play)!" "If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, shoot, I could probably retire right now," Floyd said. "But it's cool. Everybody wants to have that claim to fame." And while other hometown players have had rough goes of it — Todd Hundley with the Cubs and Eddy Curry with the Bulls come immediately to mind — Floyd is doing well, considering he's playing on a part-time basis. He entered this week hitting .312 with three home runs and 25 RBI in 125 at-bats. He's been moved from his familiar left field to right, and has batted second, fourth, fifth and sixth in the order this season. "The good thing about playing at home is that I've got great family and they really don't talk about baseball outside of the lines," Floyd said. "You can just enjoy them. I don't have any pressure. I feel like I'm doing OK, but I don't have a lot of home runs. Some people ask me, 'Why don't you have a lot of home runs?' But for the most part, I don't feel like there's a lot of pressure. "Everybody at home is happy to see me." And in recent weeks, it's been important that he's close to home. More Cubs coverage is online at www.dailysouthtown.com/sports.

BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox manager John Farrell calls outfielder Rusney Castillo "an exciting, athletic player."
BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox manager John Farrell calls outfielder Rusney Castillo "an exciting, athletic player."
The Cuban defector is expected to show off those talents for Boston soon, perhaps within the next week.
Farrell spoke Friday amid multiple media reports that the Red Sox had agreed with Castillo on a $72.5 million, seven-year contract.
Red Sox president Larry Lucchino declined to comment.
Farrell was aware of Boston's pursuit of the 27-year-old Castillo and discussed him before the opener of a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners.
"Above-average speed, can play center field or right field," Farrell said. "What kind of power? What kind of average? Obviously, our scouts liked him enough. If the reports are true, it's a significant investment and it's an exciting, athletic player, from all accounts."
Farrell knew of the reports of the agreement, but said administrative details must be finalized before an official announcement is made. The first season of the deal could begin this month.
The 5-foot-9 Castillo would join fellow Cuban Yoenis Cespedes in Boston's new-look outfield. The Red Sox obtained Cespedes from Oakland and Allen Craig from St. Louis at the July 31 trade deadline.
The Red Sox have had trouble finding a replacement for Jacoby Ellsbury since the center fielder signed with the New York Yankees after Boston won the World Series last season.
Jackie Bradley Jr. played there most of this season and is an outstanding defensive player but has struggled as a hitter. He was sent to Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday when the Red Sox recalled Mookie Betts to play the position.
Now the job likely will go to the speedy Castillo, a right-handed hitter who is considered a good outfielder but not as good as Bradley.
Shane Victorino, an outstanding right fielder who also can play center, is out for the season after back surgery and has one year left on his contract.
Boston's lineup is much better now than it's been for much of the season.
"It's lengthened out," Farrell said. "You could say right now maybe we're leaning a little heavy on the right-handed side, but prior to opening day next year there's a lot of time and I know a lot of thought will be put in as to how we improve this team."
Castillo played center field for the Cuban national team.
Farrell said the transitions made by recent Cuban defectors such as Cespedes, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig and Chicago White Sox rookie first baseman Jose Abreu have been impressive.
"Hopefully," he said, "the same holds true for every other player that comes over."
Abreu began Friday hitting .303 with 32 homers and 90 RBIs.
"He's a guy that has all the tools, as we call it," Abreu said of Castillo through a translator. "He's a five-tool player, and so long as he stays mentally tough, he's going to be able to do some good things."
In Castillo's best two years in Cuba, 2011 and 2012, he hit .324 and .332 and totaled 34 homers, 145 RBIs and 51 stolen bases.

The Yet Another Mailer (YAM) User GuideThis page is meant to serve as a starting point for all documentation regarding YAM usage. The guide is a free document, a collaborative effort, and a part of the YAM Project itself. If you want to help by translating the documentation, please check the Localization page.
YAM (Yet Another Mailer) is a MIME-compliant open-source Internet email client written for AmigaOS-based computer systems that lets you send and receive electronic mail over the Internet and maintain archives of messages in your computer.
Back in 1995 the original author Marcel Beck started the development of YAM and released the first version. While this first version (v1) was still very limited in its features the successor version (v2) introduced much more advanced features so that the 2.2 version was rated as the best Email client for Amiga computers back in 1998. This was probably also because YAM has been a freeware product right from the start, allowing Amiga users to travel into the great world of emails with a product they not have to spent money on.
Then in late 2000 Marcel left the Amiga development but luckily decided to release the source code of YAM under the GPL open source license. This allowed to find a group of developers working on the further development of YAM. Already one year later the open-source developer crew released the 2.3 version showing the Amiga community that the development of YAM hasn't stopped at all.
And now, after even more years the development of YAM has advanced some more and is now aiming to bring up YAM to a level where it is compareable to other mail clients like Thunderbird. Of course we still have a long way to go, but with the help of you and the Amiga community we can make this vision reality.

The BlackBerry Z10 has allegedly been selling like hotcakes in Canada and the UK since its launch earlier this month. BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins even told AllThingsD that sales were "50 percent better than any other launch day in our history in Canada." This news helps the Canada-based company paint quite an optimistic portrait about its future in the mobile industry, especially considering that BlackBerry 10 and its corresponding handsets are its major bet for a resurgence. However, sales might not be as peachy keen as the company wants people to believe.
Deutsche Bank's Brian Modoff surveyed 60 participating carrier stores around the UK and Canada to find out just how many stores were selling BlackBerry's flagship phones. Modoff discovered that none of the locations surveyed in the UK were sold out of the devices, while some of the locations in Canada that were sold out had stated that they didn't have that large of an inventory to begin with.
"In Canada, many stores reported being sold out of the Z10 and the sales force was well-versed on the device's attributes; however, a few representatives told us that they did not receive a large initial inventory," Modoff told All Things D. "In the UK, the sales force was better-versed on the feature sets relative to the week prior; however, no stores were sold out."
There are no official sales numbers to refer to, nor do Modoff's claims bare any proof of how BlackBerry handset sales are performing. The survey number is also so minimal in comparison to how many outlets actually offer the BlackBerry handset. However, if it turns out that this is an indication of how BlackBerry is actually doing, it could be worrisome for the company, especially considering the upcoming US launch. To be fair, no assessment can be made until the numbers are published, so we're still taking a "wait and see" approach.

Advice: relocating abroad and returning to Switzerland
Swissemigration is a service provided by the Consular Directorate (CD) that provides information for your stay abroad, emigrating, living abroad and returning to Switzerland.
Net migration figures published by the Federal Statistical Office show that on average 29,424 Swiss nationals emigrated each year between 2011 and 2013. Many sought information from Swissemigration about working and living conditions in their destination country ahead of their departure. The 10 most frequent destinations for emigrants were France, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Thailand, Spain, Canada, Brazil and Australia. The "Swiss emigrants" map in the statistics section features more destinations.
The service includes online information, guides and country dossiers on the most frequent destinations for emigrants, as well as statistics and free telephone advice.
Preparing for a stay or long-term residence abroad needs a lot of careful research and information, including up-to-date travel advice on your desired destination.
Swiss nationals wanting to return to Switzerland can get answers to their questions about entry, registration, and looking for employment in Switzerland.
The local Swiss representation is the first point of contact for Swiss nationals abroad. Future travellers resident in Switzerland can contact Swissemigration via the FDFA Helpline.

Guess what? Today is my 3rd Blogiversary. I know you've had this day marked on your calendar, waiting with baited breath for this significant milestone to arrive. Just kidding. Even I almost forgot. Last year I totally forgot about it, and this year, by sheer luck, I happened to think to check before it came around, so I thought it would be fun to have a little giveaway!
First of all, thank you so much for visiting this corney blog about quilting. Thank you for the kind comments and encouragement that you leave. I will be honest – some days blogging stresses me out. I worry about getting my pictures to look the way I want them to in my mind, I often kick myself for writing blog posts late at night when my brain has already shut off for the day and then worry that what I wrote sounded whiney or incoherent, and I'm often plagued by that nasty, un-healthy 'comparison/inadequacy' menace to all bloggers. Throw in the guilt I often feel about not always having the time I'd like to respond to every comment or meet everyone's requests (I'm a chronic "pleaser" so this can get rough), not to mention the guilt and worrying whether my time at the computer is the best use of my time. 🙂
BUT I'm so grateful for the nice feedback you give me regarding my hobby, for supporting my little etsy shop, and for the fun opportunities that have come since starting this blog. By far my favorite part of this adventure has been the great people I've met (some times in real life and sometimes in cyberspace) since jumping into the blogosphere. That is by far the funnest part – you awesome people!
So to thank you, I have a few giveaways with no-strings attached. Thanks to the generosity of Amanda Murphy and Robert Kaufman fabrics I have 2 Ten-Square (42 10″ squares) collections and 2 Roll-ups (42 2.5″ strips) of Amanda's newest collection, Veranda to share. I'll be giving away one set of both and one of each. (see top photo.)
And I wanted to give away something totally "Diary of a Quilter." So I've got a little bundle put together of an I-spy charm-pack, some American Jane pennant triangles and a few goodies I collected at Market last spring. This means we'll have 4 winners! First winner gets first pick of the prizes, and so on.
Leave one comment until Friday, October 7, midnight MST. I'll randomly pick a winner sometime over the weekend and announce on Monday.
Thanks again for being my "peeps" in blogland! Mwah!
GIVEAWAY CLOSED. Winners are: Amy, luckymom, WandaFish, and Funky Kim. Congratulations ladies! I'll be contacting you!

Though our site does not show 'live' stock levels, most of the goods will be in stock. Should goods not be readily available to fulfil your order we will contact you normally within 24 hours, giving you the opportunity to amend, cancel or wait. However, generally out of stock items will say OUT OF STOCK and may give you the opportunity to pre-order, along with an expected arrival time.
What Happens If Goods Are Out Of Stock?
We'll email or call you to let you know that there will be a delay in shipping your order and normally give you an estimated date of arrival when goods are expected back into stock.
We can recommend alternatives and you can decide if you want to amend your order, wait for it to come back into stock or cancel it. If you do choose to wait for items to come back into stock we will send out your order in separate shipments at no extra cost to you.
We do our best to meet the delivery timescales that we quote but occasionally deliveries can be late sue to circumstances outside of our control.

For those of you who have never had to deal with employer health forms, they are a freaking nightmare. A remarkable collection of stupid questions, redundancy, and more redundancy.
Today I'm completing job forms for one of my epilepsy patients, who works in sales. Questions from his employer include:
Is Mr. Shakes capable of working in sales during a seizure? (depends on what he's selling)
Would a seizure at work impair Mr. Shakes' job performance? (No! Who could resist an unconscious salesman who just wet himself?)
Will Mr. Shakes need to leave work to attend doctor appointments? (Of course not, I'll just swing by in the Grumpymobile)
If Mr. Shakes has a seizure, will it be necessary for him to leave work? (No, just leave him lying in the aisle)
Between seizures, is it safe for Mr. Shakes to operate a golf cart for clients (NO! Wait till he's having a seizure, THEN let him operate it)

When it was announced last week that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer would step down, my take was probably similar to many of yours: It was a necessary step for the company. Microsoft has suffered and spent greatly to push itself ahead of the frontiers of the new computing models smart phones and tablets on the client, and the cloud on the back end. But for all the effort and expenditure, it still remains an outsider, rather than a player, watching the front lines moving farther away.
What is peculiar and, as I'll explain later, somewhat ironic is that the company's technologies in phones and on the cloud are generally well liked by their users. Buyers of Nokia smart phones with Windows Phone on them like the software. The Win 8 look and feel that does so poorly on laptops is a delight on phones. Likewise, enterprise users of Windows Azure praise the offering and have lauded the company for the clean implementation, the support for non-Microsoft products, and the general stability of the platform. I see no such enthusiasm for, say, Google App Engine.
These Redmond technologies remind me in some ways of the Microsoft Zune, which did not enjoy great sales, but very definitely was loved and admired by buyers of the device. I was one of them. Even though I was given an iPod, the Zune always worked well, had better features, and (to me) a preferable interface.
Much of Microsoft is now in that same box: Putting aside Windows 8, the company ships good technology that is appreciated by too small a group of users. The common wisdom in business is that such situations are marketing problems. And this is the irony; namely, that Microsoft was often accused in its early years of winning with inferior technology due to its ability to out-market and out-spend competitors. Now, it has the technology, but can't get the marketing right.
As I said, that's if we ignore Windows 8. Who knows what to make of Windows 8 and how Microsoft should move forward with it? However, as I've mentioned in previous editorials, I admire the company for making a bold bet in a world where most other companies make small bets and rarely with their core franchise.
It would be foolhardy, I believe, to follow the herd thinking that Microsoft is an old unimaginative behemoth, incapable of understanding the new generations' needs or computing preferences. The situation is more complicated than such glib analysis suggests. First of all, I posit that almost no companies today understand the preferences of the younger generations. If anyone should be able to read the tea leaves, you'd think it would be Facebook. Recall their latest new venture, the Facebook phone?
How about Google? Put aside the search engine and Android, and not many great forward-looking innovations have come out that show an understanding of the way forward. Certainly, it was not Google+ or its forebear, Google Wave. Let's not get into Yahoo's problems, which the visionary ex-Goolger Marissa Mayer has yet to address effectively.
If we turn to enterprise needs, IBM, HP, and Dell have all announced disappointing results in the last year. None of them is showing any deeper understanding of IT needs than Microsoft. So, while it's true that Ballmer's successor needs to be a visionary and a great manager, that's probably true, too, of all the major players today: HP, Dell, Google, Facebook, and to a lesser extent, even Apple.
At no other time in the history of computing has the way forward been so unclear and so ill-defined. Huge forces are at work reshaping standard industry technologies, and we can, as consumers, only do what we do best observe, assess, and participate where it makes sense. I have great sympathy for companies of the established order, which must ride these tides to calmer waters. All of us depend on them to one extent or another and should wish them visionary leadership, so that we might all understand and benefit.

A high level of quality, professional and thorough ongoing maintenance is of the utmost importance for landlords to protect their property investment.
Inexpensive minor repairs can often prevent expensive and extensive restor-ation further down the line, and be considerably simpler to arrange.
Mike Campbell of Belvoir Lettings says: "Spend a penny to save a pound is an old saying that definitely applies in this context. In fact, simple preventative maintenance can prevent greater costs down the line."
Strong, efficient maintenance not only cuts costs, it obviously also provides a better living environment for your tenant and creates a strong impression as a landlord. This in turn will encourage them to stay longer.
Warning signs
There are many early signs to keep an eye out for that tell you when maintenance may be necessary.
Look out for water damage, cracked or discoloured plug sockets, blocked guttering, overgrown gardens and, most importantly, signs of damp and mould.
Condensation in particular needs to be nipped in the bud quickly, especially with so much rain this summer! So regularly review gutters, a main cause of damp, especially with trees and greenery nearby.
When it does rain, take a look at the outside of the property to spot leaky gutters, and take a look inside your the attic to check for leaks. Tide-marks and wet patches are obvious danger signs, and wooden windows and doors need repairs and repainting at least every five years.
Maintenance monitoring
Many landlords say they find it difficult to monitor maintenance needs without living on-site themselves. The answer lies in tenant feedback and regular inspections.
Your tenant has a duty to inform you about any obvious issues, but don't rely on their guidance completely. Room-by-room checks allow you to check on the property, as well as on the happiness of the tenant themselves.
Maintenance can be planned, or respons-ive, but if you're having to react to serious issues that have gone unnoticed it can be much more stressful and costly.
Minimum disruption
In the event of any major issues, maintenance can be a big disruption for the tenant. So how can you keep their grievances to a minimum?
"Always work around the tenant and ask them when they would rather have the work done," says Mike. "And, usually, if the problem requires immediate attention most tenants are happy to accommodate this."
If an emergency arises, communication is key, so it helps to be on friendly terms with tenants at all times. If the work is planned then it's best to try for void periods.
Maintenance signs to look out for:
* Blocked drains
* Leaking or blocked guttering
* Leaking windows
* Mould
* Condensation
* Water damage
* Broken fencing
* Signs of damp
* Cracked electrical sockets
* Leaking taps
* Cracked chimney stacks
* Dislodged or broken roof tiles
* Erosion of shower and bath seals
* Crumbling brick or stonework
* Deteriorating pointing
* Wood beetle infestations
* Peeling paintwork

ASSWIPE Part 2
First off, a new podcast of an interview with me is up. Click here to listen. Same old stuff from me again…
Also, if you haven't, please read part one of this article below, or at least just the quote from Dogen. It's a good one (the quote, I mean).
The guy who ran away from our retreat wrote me yesterday. He was upset I called him an asswipe on this blog. I'm sorry about that. I thought it was obviously a joke. I didn't identify him in any way, so it was clearly not a personal attack. My intention was more to make the point that running away from a Zen retreat without notice is not proper behavior. I hoped that by saying so I might make future attendees — not just of our retreats but of Zen retreats in general — aware of this fact. A Zen retreat is not a visit to Disneyland or Club Med. You are not a customer or a guest. It is not the job of the organizers to serve you or cater to you. You are a functioning participant who is expected to work with the rest of the group to make the retreat happen. Leaving without notice is like deserting your job without notice. Everyone else has to take up your slack and that's a problem.
According to him, "My reason for leaving was simple: It was your attitude. You come off as a self-centered, know-it-all prick in robes – with your conception of Zazen being the only one that matters." He complained about, "the completely impersonal, mindless format of the retreat itself," and said, "perhaps if we had been given more time to talk with and get to know each other personally, that wouldn't have been a problem."
These are points I think need addressing not just to him but to everyone who reads this page since some of you may be considering attending one of our retreats or attending Zen or Buddhist retreats held by other teachers.
If you attend a Dogen Sangha Zazen retreat it means you are agreeing to spend the time doing Dogen Sangha style Zen under a Dogen Sangha teacher's instructions. This is the same with any retreat. If I go to an Ashtanga Yoga retreat, I expect to do Ashtanga Yoga and I can't complain that it's not Iyengar Yoga. I guarantee you that every decent Zen teacher believes that his or her conception of Zazen is the only one that matters. In fact I'd even say that if you find a teacher who does not appear to believe that you should stay away from that person. That's one of the clearest telltale signs of a teacher who's no good and will probably rip you off. All my teachers have been self-centered know-it-all pricks.
As far as the impersonal, mindless form of the retreat, our retreats are probably the warmest, fuzziest, most get-to-know-each-other retreats in the Zen business. From what I've heard when you attend a retreat by this fellow's hero Mr. Thich Nhat Hahn not only can you not talk to the other participants, apparently you can't even look them in the eye. I'm not sure it's TNH who does this actually (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), but I know it's the case in a great many retreats. The dude in question wanted to know if he could hold his arms a different way from everyone else because he wasn't familiar with our form. I encouraged him to do it our way. Shit, if you tried doing it a different way from everybody else in some retreats they'd scream and then whack you with a great big stick! No exaggeration. Sometimes I think we're just way too fucking nice. Actually we expect our attendees to be a bit more mature than to need to be hit with sticks.
But the point isn't whether our retreats are warm and fuzzy or not. The point is that you really ought to do some research before you sign up for a Zen retreat. Not just the guy in question, but you out there reading this. Not just our retreats either, but any Zen retreat. Or any other meditation or Yoga retreat. Every time someone gets disgruntled about our retreats it's because they haven't got the vaguest clue what to expect. I imagine this is not a problem confined solely to our retreats.
Before I went on my first Zen retreat I'd already read as much as I could about Zen retreats in general so I'd have some idea what to expect. And kids, this was in the days before teh internets so it wasn't like I could just Google "Zen retreat" and get a million people's diaries of their retreat experiences. Shit, you were lucky if you could find three books on the shelves of the Akron Public Library about Buddhism. And those were all written in 1874. I'm not just trying to give you the old "I used to walk ten miles through the snow to school" thing here. It's just that I really can't excuse anyone in the year twenty-ought-seven for not making the tiny bit of effort it takes to find these things out. Our retreats are basically like a nicer, easier version of whatever you find described elsewhere.
In any case, before next year's retreat I'll be making some kind of a guide book or something I'll put on-line to let people know what they should expect from our retreats.
So sorry again to you, Mr. Wipe. Nothing personal. But thanks for the opportunity to make these points. And again, please understand this is not directed at you alone (I wouldn't waste the two hours plus it took me to compose this just to get back at some specific person). It's really a much more general and widespread problem.
Over and out.
Just to be clear, it is always perfectly acceptable to leave a Zen retreat at any time for any reason. But when doing so you need to tell one of the organizers directly. This goes across the board for all retreats in all traditions.

Since the financial crisis of 2007, after which interest rates fell and have stayed at historically low levels, long term investors looking for income have been seeking alternative homes for their capital. The value of money held on deposit has been impacted by inflation, and investing for income has assumed greater importance than ever.
St. James's Place offers a range of income solutions investing across a range of asset classes, helping us to provide a diversified, personally tailored portfolio.
With interest rates at historic lows, investors could consider alternative sources of income:
- Fixed Interest - corporate bonds and gilts offer the potential for increased income in times of low interest rates
- Equities - whilst in the short-term equities can be volatile, history shows us that they have outperformed all other asset classes over the longer term and offer the potential for capital growth and rising income*
- Commercial Property - whilst the commercial property market offers an opportunity to achieve capital growth over the longer term, the primary return for investors is rental income. By securing long leases with financially secure tenants, commercial property could potentially offer attractive and sustainable income levels.
Diversification and expert management remains the key to long-term success in challenging markets. The St. James's Place approach gives you access to investment expertise and the opportunity to invest across a range of different investment firms, with the peace of mind of knowing that your money is being well looked after.
For further information on strategies to cope with lower interest rates and alternative solutions to help achieve your income or capital growth objectives, click here.
Alternatively please contact us.
The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested.
Equities do not provide the security of capital associated with a deposit account with a bank or building society.
Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
The value of property is a matter of the valuer's opinion and not fact.
