Admiral leads FTSE higher after Goldman upgrade
by Gavin Lumsden on Jan 21, 2013 at 11:00
The FTSE 100 ignored overnight falls in Asia Pacific to rise 12 points, or 0.2%, to 6,166, extending its four-year high and taking its cue from the rise in US markets on Friday in response to developments in the country's debt ceiling talks.
However, Pearson and Meggitt were in the spotlight as both stocks fell heavily in early trading.
Pearson (PSON.L) shares tumbled 41p or 3.3% to £11.98 after the education and media group edged down its guidance for 2012 earnings per share and warned that tough conditions and structural change would continue to dominate its market this year.
The publisher of the Financial Times now expects adjusted earnings per share of around 84p, down from the 84.9p it stated in October, with full-year operating profit of around £935 million.
Cuts in government spending would continue to hold back its school publishing business in the UK and US, it said, although its international division would report double digit sales growth due to the strong demand in emerging markets.
Meggitt (MGGT.L) shares slid 7p or 1.7% to 429p after a US subsidiary of the aerospace and defence group said it was helping investigators looking into the technical faults that have grounded Boeing's 787 Dreamliner planes.
(Update) Arizona-based Securaplane Technologies makes a charger for the batteries which have been the cause of the problems for the Dreamliner planes. According to Reuters, investigators will test and examine the charger before moving on to carry out tests at United Technologies, which makes the auxiliary power unit for the planes.
Meanwhile, Admiral Group (ADML.L) shot up 57p or 5% to £12.11 after Goldman Sachs upgraded the car insurer to 'conviction buy' from 'neutral'.
IAG (ICAG.L), owner of British Airways, also got a boost, firming 3p or 1.4% to 211p after Credit Suiise upgraded it to 'outperform' from 'neutral'.
Markets are expected to be quite today with the US stock market closed for the Martin Luther holiday.
On currency markets the pound fell to a nine-and-a-half month low of 81.8 against a trade-weighted basket of currencies. The yen fell 0.5% to 89.5 yen to the dollar as the Bank of Japan began a two-day meeting at which it is expected to double its inflation target to 2%.
Other rises and fallers
Randgold Resources (RRS.L) gained 26p or 0.5% to £58.41 as production at its Tongon mine in Cote d'Ivoire returned to normal after a fire three weeks ago.
Afren (AFRE.L) added 3.2p or 2.4% to 138p after the oil producer said it hit targets with output last year.
Imperial Tobacco (IMT.L) shrugged off weekend reports of a possible shareholder revolt over executive pay as its shares firmed 14.7p or 0.6% to £23.91.
Resolution (RSL.L) rose 3p or 1.2% to 267p aftre the insurance company consolidator said former Standard Chartered boss Malcolm Williamson would succeed Mike Biggs as chairman later this year.
Stobart (STOB.L) advanced 2.9p or 3.2% to 94.4p after the haulage firm appointed Avril Palmer-Baunack as executive chairman. Palmer-Baunack joined the board following Stobart's acquisition of Autologic last year. This month it warned that full-year operating profits would be lower than forecast.
China maker Portmeiron (PMGR.L) and software supplier Scisys (SSY.L) fell 1.4% and 4.5% respectively despite saying full-year earnings would in line with expecations.
Shares in online travel group Travelzest (TVZ.L) lost over a third of their value, dropping 2p to 3.1p after talks to sell its Canadian businesses ended.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas emerges from battle with the triumphal sense of a hard-won game change: By stopping its offensive when it did, Israel's hard-line government seems to have grudgingly accepted that the group cannot soon be dislodged from power in Gaza. Hamas dared rocket Tel Aviv, then stared down threats of a ground invasion — agreeing to a cease-fire with its rule intact, world figures rushing to the region to put out the fire, and key Muslim countries openly on its side. Still unclear is whether the Egyptian-brokered truce can deliver the promised end to Gaza's stifling blockade. By Karin Laub and Sarah El Deeb.

CAIRO — Egypt's Islamist president unilaterally decrees greater authorities for himself, forbidding the courts from challenging his decisions and those of the Islamist-led assembly that is writing the next constitution. Riding high on U.S. and international praise for mediating a Gaza cease-fire, Mohammed Morsi puts himself above oversight, but the move is likely to fuel growing public anger that he and his Muslim Brotherhood are seizing too much power.

NEW YORK — Crowds flock to the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on a sun-splashed morning in New York even as other parts of the city still struggle to recover from the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy — and to find ways to celebrate the holiday.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — In the last blog entry before his arrest, activist Sattar Beheshti wrote that Iranian authorities had given him an ultimatum: Either stop posting his "big mouth" attacks against the ruling system or tell his mother that she will soon be in mourning. Beheshti's death in custody of Iran's expanding cyber-police has forced Iranian authorities to promise an inquest and raises broader questions about the reach of Iran's expanding corps of Web watchers.

SDEROT, Israel — In this southern Israeli town, whose name has become synonymous with rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, there is little joy over a new cease-fire between Israel and the territory's Hamas.

WASHINGTON — The election may be over, but a new campaign is being waged in the nation's capital as lobbyists, advocates and trade groups fight to shape the government's response to the looming fiscal cliff.

MIAMI — When 15-year-old Kali Gonzalez became pregnant, she considered transferring and worried teachers would harass her for missing class. Instead, her counselor set up a meeting with teachers to confirm she could make up missed assignments, eat in class and use the restroom whenever she needed. Gonzalez, now 18, kept an A-average while pregnant. But Gonzalez is a rare success. Schools across the country are divided over how to handle pregnant students, with some schools kicking them out or penalizing students for pregnancy-related absences. By Kelli Kennedy.

The Importance of Supportive Boots
Ever ask yourself "why do my feet hurt at the end of the day?" Or wonder "why do I have back pain after a day on the job?" Have you ever wondered why, even when your shoes feel soft and cushy you still aren't comfortable after being on your feet for long periods of time? It's a common misconception that good shoes or boots are soft and full of cushion. The truth is that in order to stay comfortable, your body needs support. With tennis shoes and cheaper, soft footwear, you don't get the support your body needs. On top of that, many boot stores are lined with thick carpet (this makes anything feel better) and salespeople are more concerned about making a sale than making sure you are just as happy at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. I learned this the hard way.
A year ago now, I was in the market for some new shoes. I went shopping around, and as many people do, I was looking for the coolest looking boots, not even considering comfort too much. Now I am a younger man, but I already have a herniated disc in my back and Patellofemoral Syndrome in my knee. Despite this I never realized how much the right boots can reduce back pain. In any case, I purchased "X" shoes that appeared to be "comfortable" (in other words cushiony) from one of the stores I had been shopping around at. My back and knee pain only got worse after hours of time spent on them.
About a month later, I got some Timberland Pro Valor tactical boots from Harry's Army Surplus, and this was the first time I learned something. First off these boots had a nylon shank in them, which I later learned is to better support your arch and calves. They also had a molded external heel cage to better hold your heel in place. All that aside, within the first hour of putting them on, I was in heaven. I instantly noticed that my posture was better: the heel support and the height of the boot caused me to stand up straighter. I also noticed that my back and knee were not hurting nearly as bad. The boot itself was not very stiff, so from tennis shoes to an 8 in boot was a little easier transition. At the end of the day was that I was so far less fatigued than normal from having this supportive footwear, that the day flew by! Before, I could tell how far into my shift I was by how sore and tired I was. This day, however, I had worked 10 hours and felt like I had only worked 3. It was amazing and changed my life. This is just one example of how support is more important that cushion when choosing your boots and how making sure the person helping you is knowledgeable of these factors that will help keep you comfortable and happy throughout your entire day.

The Future is Now: Oakley Pro Junior Storms Across the Globe, Showcases Surf Stars of Tomorrow
The future of surfing is in good hands. And Oakley is making sure of it.
2011's Oakley Pro Junior campaign is in full swing. And from what's already gone down thus far, it's safe to say that this year is on track to be all-time. Each region's most talented and dazzling young surfers have been throwing down as a preview of what's to come in the sport. And we're not even close to being done.
With the North Stradbroke Island (Australia), Lowers (California) and Brazil stops in the books – and the coming events in Spain, Japan and France on the horizon, some of the best undiscovered rippers on the Planet are sure to surface onto center stage. All united by the love of the sport and pure stoke on Oakley.
And let's not forget that the World Pro Junior in Bali will wrap it all up in grand fashion – Indo style – to crown the crème of the crop.
Oakley's youngest Team Riders, including the likes of emerging star Kolohe "Brother" Andino (already slated by most to be the next 'big thing'), Conner Coffin, Jake Halstead, Noa Deane and Shaun Joubert are sure to make some serious noise when all is said and done – so watch out for them come October. They'll be rockin' their super high-tech Blade Boardshorts for an edge.
Did we mention that you can take in all the action…live from your computer…at www.OakleyProJunior.com? Yes, you read it right. Live streams, news, schedules and more fun stuff. So don't snooze on it.
Are you pumped yet? If not, here are some videos from this year to get your blood flowing.

I am ready for info on the iPad mini 2!
Cutting the iTunes cord is the most interesting topic for me :)
I do think about cutting the cord sometimes, but I think I'm just waiting for many of the channels I watch to be available everywhere (all cord-cutting solutions). Hopefully the charger is the next thing Apple cuts...
Game Center gripes??? How about some attention to the horrible battery drain bug Apple introduced with iOS 6.1????
I am definitely due for a new tablet. My old galaxy tab 10.1 is showing her age. I've always like the form of the iPad mini. Hopefully the mini 2 will be awesome.
I'm ready to cut the cord on iTunes. I'm ready to live in the cloud.
The forums are for sure heating up with great threads, posts and comments and we are lucky to have added to new Modes to thew group like Keith and Darrick. They have really added to Johns Mod group.
I own both Android and iOS devices...
The problem I have with iTunes is that, in order to completely cut the cord, you have to pay $24.99/yr for what Google Play does for FREE (and does just as well).
I can upload local CD's to my Play Store account and have it available on all my Android devices, I have to pay Apple to do the exact same thing. No bueno.

Interference Between Clutch Damper and Flywheel Bolts On 2003-2006 Caterpillar 3406E C-15 & C-16 Diesel Engines The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding possible interference between the clutch damper and flywheel bolts on 2003-2006 Caterpillar 3406E, C-15 and C-16 diesel engines. Engines built or serviced with the VCT plus clutch damper, introduced in April 2003, have the possibility of the clutch damper interfering with the flywheel mounting bolts. This applies to the following clutch part numbers: 108009-32Y, 108925-20, 108925-25, 108926-20Y, 108926-25Y, 109701-20, 109701-25, 109705-20Y, 109705-25Y & 109706-32Y. Correction/Action: Any repair that has required the transmission to be removed from the truck, and the engine serial number is 5EK1 and up, 6TS1 and up, 1LW1 and up, 2WS1 and up, 6NZ1-92122, 7CZ1-04382, MBN1-21447, BXS1-00984, 5DS1 and up, or 1MM1 and up, requires checking the flywheel bolt washers. You must verify the 5mm washer has been replaced with the 3mm washer, Caterpillar Part Number 8D-5054. Failure to replace the washers could result in damper rivet interference. Torque the bolts to 270 Nm +/- 40 Nm (200 ft/lb +/- 30 ft/lb). It is also suggested that paint may be applied to bolt heads to show verification and completion identification.
Installation Instructions for CRF 150R and KX450F Steahly Flywheel Weight Warning: Improper instalation of this flywheel weight could result in engine damage or a serious crash. If you do not have the tools or the mechanical abilities take it to a professional. 1. Drain the engine oil or turn off the gas and lay the bike on its side. 2. Remove the shift lever. 3. Remove the ignition cover. Take care not to tear the gasket or have a new gasket on hand. Be carefull that you don't lose the two dowel pins that are between the cover and the engine case. 4. Remove the flywheel nut. Use an air impact wrench or figure out a way to keep the flywheel from rotating while you remove the nut. A strap wrench or an automotive oil filter wrench may work as a holding tool or try putting the bike in high gear and holding the rear brake on. 5. Pull off the stock flywheel with the proper flywheel puller that has a crank end protection cap. Steahly part number E-63. Do not attempt removal with out the correct puller. Do not use claw type pullers. 6. Fit the flywheel weight on to the stock flywheel. Line up the two threaded holes in the weight with two holes in the stock flywheel. 7. Clean the threads of the two special bolts with contact cleaner. Put a big drop of red Loctite or other high strength thread locker on the threads of the 2 bolts. Install the two special bolts as shown in the picture and torque to 12 foot pounds. 8. Unless you plan to take the weight on and off a lot we highly recommend using a center punch and a hammer to flare out the threads at the end of the bolt (see pictures below). This will reduce the possibility of the bolt coming loose. 9. Clean up the flywheel and weight and remove any metal stuck to the magnets. 10. Install the flywheel with weight back onto the tapered crank shaft end making sure the key ways are lined up. Torque the stock nut to 42 ft- lbs.
New flanged multi-point socket head bolts have been released to prevent the MBE 900 pilot bearing from walking out of the flywheel housing. The new bolts will replace two flywheel bolts, located 180 degrees from one another. KIT CONTENTS The MBE 900 Pilot Bearing Bolt Service Kit P/N: A9269900105, consists of the following parts, listed in Table 1: Part No. A9269900005 18SP666 Table 1 Qty. 2 1 Description Flanged Multi-point Socket Head Bolts Installation Instructions MBE 900 Pilot Bearing Retaining Bolt Service Kit (P/N: A9269900105) INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Use the following procedure to install the new flanged multi-point socket bolts: 1. Shut off engine and apply the parking brake, chock the wheels, disconnect vehicle battery power, and perform any other applicable safety steps. 2. Remove the transmission. 3. Remove clutch from flywheel. 4. Pull the crankshaft position sensor out of the flywheel housing about 8 mm (0.32 in.). 5. Remove the end cover from the flywheel housing and install the engine barring tool (J-46392). Tighten the bolts on the barring device to 25 N·m (18 lb·ft). Insert the locking pin to block the device and prevent it from rotating. 6. Using J-46385, the flywheel and main pulley socket tool, remove two flywheel multi-point socket head bolts from the flywheel, 180 degrees apart. See Figure 1.
The crankshaft is precision-forged with seven main bearings and eight custom-forged counter weights, and a vibration damper at the front end.

The sling and spreader bar should be adjusted so the lifting hooks are vertical to prevent bending the lifter brackets. To ensure proper weight distribution, all provided lifter brackets must be used. NOTICE: A spreader bar must be used at all times in conjunction with the front and rear lifter brackets to lift the EGR engine to ensure that no engine damage will result. The brackets are designed to lift vertically. 1. Remove the engine from the vehicle.
As companies deal with ever larger amounts of data and increasingly demanding workloads, a new class of databases has taken hold. Dubbed "NoSQL", these databases trade some of the features used by traditional relational databases in exchange for increased performance and/or partition tolerance. But as NoSQL solutions have proliferated and differentiated themselves (into key-value stores, document databases, graph databases, and "NewSQL"), trying to evaluate the database landscape for a particular class of problem becomes more and more difficult. In this paper we attempt to answer this question for one specific, but critical, class of functionality – applications that need the highest possible raw performance for a reliable storage engine. There have been a few attempts to provide standardized tools to measure performance or other characteristics, but these have been hobbled by the lack of a clear mandate on exactly what they're testing, plus an inability to measure load at the highest volumes. In addition, there is an implicit tradeoff between the consistency and durability requirements of an application and the maximum throughput that can be processed. What is needed is not an attempt to quantify every NoSQL solution into one artificial bucket, but a more systemic analysis of how some of these databases can achieve under assumptions that mirror real-world application needs. We attempted to provide a comprehensive answer to one specific set of use cases for NoSQL databases -- consumer-facing applications which require extremely high throughput and low latency, and whose information can be represented using a key-value schema. In particular, we look at two common scenarios.
This paper examines the complex, often misunderstood, relationship between al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the various militant groups found in FATA (the Federally Administered Tribal Areas) in Pakistan, including the TTP (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan). Much of what is commonly assumed about the Taliban, the TTP and al-Qaeda is based on misinformation, misunderstanding or a misrepresentation of historical events. The Taliban and alQaeda can in many ways be seen as sharing common values, although their ultimate goals remain very different. The Taliban were not part of the mujahedeen fighting against the Soviets in Afghanistan, and emerged only in 1994. Al-Qaeda, for all the conspiracy, did not receive money from the CIA during the 1980s, and was only officially formed as an organisation in 1988. The creation of the TTP in 2007 is another matter, and was created as an umbrella organisation for various Pakistani militant groups, and maintains close ties with al-Qaeda. However, the Pakistani Taliban is not the same Taliban as the one formed in 1994, and although it swears its loyalty to Mullah Omar, its goals differ from that of the Afghani Taliban. We can speak of al-Qaeda and the Taliban in two broad strokes – pre 9/11 and post 9/11. The attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon (as well as the failed attack on Washington DC with the hijacked flight 93), was the culmination of al-Qaeda as a tightly knit, hierarchical organisation. The subsequent "War on Terror" and the invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001 destroyed much of its organisational capacity; it also left the Taliban severely weakened. However, they both regrouped in the FATA region over a period of years, and al-Qaeda spread its ideology throughout northern Pakistan, coalescing with militant groups and local warlords. Before 9/11, al-Qaeda and the Taliban were very much two different organisations; today, it is not so simple, and in 2010, General David Petreus claimed that there is "a symbiotic relationship between all of these different organizations: al-Qaeda, the Pakistani Taliban, the Afghan Taliban ... They support each other, they coordinate with each other, sometimes they compete with each other, [and] sometimes they even fight each other." (cfr, 2010, http://www.cfr.org).
Al Qaeda (AQ) has evolved into a significantly different terrorist organization than the one that perpetrated the September 11, 2001, attacks. At the time, Al Qaeda was composed mostly of a core cadre of veterans of the Afghan insurgency against the Soviet Union, with a centralized leadership structure made up mostly of Egyptians. Most of the organization's plots either emanated from the top or were approved by the leadership. Some analysts describe pre-9/11 Al Qaeda as akin to a corporation, with Osama Bin Laden acting as an agile Chief Executive Officer issuing orders and soliciting ideas from subordinates. Some would argue that the Al Qaeda of that period no longer exists. Out of necessity, due to pressures from the security community, in the ensuing years it has transformed into a diffuse global network and philosophical movement composed of dispersed nodes with varying degrees of independence. The core leadership, headed by Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, is thought to live in the mountainous tribal belt of northwest Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, where it continues to train operatives, recruit, and disseminate propaganda. But Al Qaeda franchises or affiliated groups active in countries such as Yemen and Somalia now represent critical power centers in the larger movement. Some affiliates receive money, training, and weapons; others look to the core leadership in Pakistan for strategic guidance, theological justification, and a larger narrative of global struggle.

Oprah Winfrey and a wrinkly senior named Bernie Goldblatt helped Chrysler and Taco Bell win the advertising battle at Super Bowl XLVII Sunday night amid a power outage at the New Orleans Superdome that interrupted the game.
Chrysler Group LLC., which enlisted Ms. Winfrey to do the voice-over in a touching Jeep spot that paid tribute to the troops, was one of the big game's most liked commercials, according to advertising executives and consumers surveyed by The Wall Street Journal.
"I got goose bumps; I was on the verge of crying," said Tom Geary, a 60-year-old mechanical contractor from Aston, Pa. The car maker's Ram spot about farmers that featured the voice of Paul Harvey was also applauded. "Bloody Brilliant," said Cindy Gallop, a former ad executive.

RIM's BlackBerry used its spot in the big game to help launch a new operating system aimed at reversing the company's eroding share of the smartphone market. But the spot missed the mark, according to ad executives. Instead of focusing on phone features, the spot showed what the device doesn't do—including make its owner disappear or stop an oncoming truck—an attempt to poke fun at other ads in the category that rely heavily on product demonstrations. The company said Friday that other ads rolling out in coming weeks will focus more on product features.

"I don't think Nemo can sell beer," said Allen Adamson, a managing director at WPP PLC's Landor.
Still, the brewer's touchy-feely Clydesdale commercial showing a horse being reunited with its trainer was a crowd pleaser. "Over 100 million people are holding back tears right now," said Dean Crutchfield, a branding expert.

Unlike past years, this Super Bowl's soda war between Coke and Pepsi lacked pop, ad executives said. A PepsiCo spot for Pepsi Next, a mid-calorie version of the company's flagship cola, featured a young man throwing a party while his parents are away, a theme that ad executives said has been done too much.

Interview with Robert Dodds: Royal Flying Corps
Transcript Excerpt, 3 minutes, 32 seconds
A. And these Morris-Farnham, they were very unstable and we would only fly when the air was calm, dead calm, or maybe not more than three or four miles an hour breeze, and I recall that there were times when there might be seven or eight aircraft, or flying machines as we used to call them in those days pretty much, would be in the air, when a strong breeze would come up, spring up, maybe off the water or something like that, spring up because we were right down on the waterfront and I've seen five and six of these Grumpties all standing on their nose on the airport, just coming in to land and the wind would be too strong for them, and they were so unstable. I think that maybe one of the toughest fights that we had, it is mentioned here, we were sent over to sort of act as bait over Gestell aerodrome, the to bring the enemy aircraft up so our fellows with these single seaters and or forth, go over and shoot them down I suppose. So we went over to Gestell aerodrome and we got there - I think all the enemy aircraft were in the air - we got mixed up with about twenty some odd. And we had a pretty rough time and there was the formation shot two or three down, but we were pretty badly shot up too. But we had done a lot of shooting but I couldn't say that I could claim any, because there were so many enemy aircraft and so much action that you just couldn't stop to see what happened. You were just lucky to get out alive and get back across the line. Because when a formation, we were only six, one of them had already turned dud, and gone back home, that only left five. And when you run into over twenty enemy aircraft, you haven't got much time to look around to see what happened. It was a pretty grim fight. But and some of our boys got pretty badly shot up too. We were very lucky, though, but as I say, you stick pretty close to Baker. You felt pretty safe by sticking close to Baker. He was very wonderful flight commander.
Q. Eventually of course, you would have shot down your first plane, a sure one, that you knew about. How did that happen, do you remember the story of it?
A. Well, it is pretty hard to say your first one, because sometimes, at least at that time, they would say there were so many driven down and so many shot down out of control and so forth.
Q. Well, you have at one stage of the war - eleven credits. You must have had a number one of those eleven that you heard about.
A. Well, one was coming at me, I remember so well, it was coming straight at me, and I just in the spur of that moment made up my mind that I wasn't going to pour it right into him, you see. And then, as he slipped off under my left wing and the smoke belched, I felt that he was going down.

(Editor's note: This column from April 15 has been updated in light of recent news events.)
After the terror in Boston, gold, silver and mining stocks took another leg down. Last night, gold futures fell to $1331. The medium term chart shows that RSI reached a level that I had previously indicated would lead to a very, very short-term reversal. Click here for the medium-term annotated chart.
Please click here for the chart.
As a result The Arora Report upgraded gold and silver to a mild buy in the very, very short-term.
On Monday, the plunge in gold and silver and massive outflows from popular ETFs like the SPDR Gold Trust /quotes/zigman/41663/delayed/quotes/nls/gld GLD -0.30% , the iShares Silver Trust /quotes/zigman/417006/delayed/quotes/nls/slv SLV 0.00% , as well as popular miner ETFs like the Market Vectors Gold Miners /quotes/zigman/420125/delayed/quotes/nls/gdx GDX -1.08% and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF /quotes/zigman/18928026/delayed/quotes/nls/gdxj GDXJ +0.87% had investors clamoring for the answer to a simple question, "How low can gold and silver go?"
There are four ways to look at it.
Traditional technical analysis
The weekly chart shows Fibonacci retracements as well as support levels.
Please click here for an updated annotated weekly chart.
Based on traditional technical analysis, the target zone is $1250 to $1425.
Similar analysis leads to a silver price target of $23.50 to $25.50.
For further explanation of the charts, please see Why gold and silver are in the dumps.
Statistical analysis
In statistical analysis, we simply take a look at gold trading data from January 1979 to April 2012. The description of this analysis gets somewhat esoteric. If you are not into statistics, do not worry, as the results have been compiled into an easy-to-understand chart.
Click here for the chart based on statistics from 1979 t0 2012.
Here is the methodology. The analysis identified episodes of price declines over periods of six months, three months, two months and on a one-month basis and derived a frequency distribution from 30 years' worth of data.
From the frequency distribution, the probability of occurrence of major and minor declines is measured. Based on a CRISIL's methodology, the Working Group also calculated the probability of a gold price decline in four baskets (on a six-month, three-month, two-month and one-month basis) using World Gold Council's long-run daily price of gold in U.S. dollars from January 1979 to April 2012.

Cincinnati police chief job: Screening committee has not met
City receives additional applications
CINCINNATI -- The committee selected to make recommendations for the next police chief has not yet met, putting in question the timetable of identifying viable candidates for the job by summer's end.
So far, 34 candidates have applied for the job, including three internal applicants -- Interim Police Chief Paul Humphries, Lt. Col. Dave Bailey and District 1 Capt. Gary Lee. Three candidates have been rejected for not meeting the minimum requirements and one withdrew his name from consideration.
The screening committee, comprised of members of the community as well as the city's human resources staff, is charged with reviewing the applications and making a recommendation to City Manager Milton Dohoney, Jr. for his consideration. Two committee members confirmed to WCPO Digital this week they have not yet met nor have they received guidelines for the reviewing process.
"We need to keep the process moving and there has been some review of the applications (by the city human resources department)," city spokeswoman Meg Olberding said on Thursday. "The screening committee has not met yet, but will be talking in the next few weeks."
The 11-member committee was formed and announced in late June to assist Dohoney in selecting a viable candidate for the job. The selection and hiring of the next chief of police is solely Dohoney's.
City officials have said they want a new chief in place by the end of the summer, although Olberding said the city seeks to narrow the field to a few viable candidates by mid-September. Dohoney has consistently declined to comment on the police chief process.
According to the city, notable goals for the police chief include:
• Continue to provide leadership development to cultivate positive employee and community relationships.
• Continue to build on the foundation of the department as a leader in public safety and Community Oriented Policing.
• Advance cultural diversity within the department to represent the community make-up.
• Develop creative and innovative approaches to working with city departments on achieving city-wide goals.
• Increase the use of technology in the police department to strengthen program effectiveness in order to advance public safety to the next level.
• Maximize cost effectiveness in addressing overtime and staffing issues facing budget deficits.
• Take a realistic look and review of department issues, and recommend changes in policies and/or procedures.
The police chief job posting, which went public in June, lists an annual salary range of $101,956.03 to $137,640.65 and offers 10 paid days off, a retirement plan and an 80/20 healthcare plan. Former police chief James Craig, who accepted the police chief job in his native Detroit, earned $143,000 per year, according to the city manager's office.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Steve Carell, Keira Knightley, Patton Oswalt
Directed by Lorene Scafaria
Yes, it's the end of days, something about an asteroid hurtling toward Earth. In three weeks, boom, it's over. No second chance. Steve Carell plays Dodge, an insurance exec whose wife dumps him for a last fling at life. Unlike his wife and horny buddy (that's you, Patton Oswalt), Dodge doesn't want to go sex-nuts. Dodge goes to work where there's no need to go. Then he hits on the idea of finding his first love.
Penny, played by Keira Knightley, hits on the idea of going with this stranger. Hell, she wants to connect with her family, and he might be able to help her. Penny's boyfriend (Adam Brody) is a tool. And on a road trip, featuring various guest stars (you're up, Derek Luke), Dodge and Penny establish a low-key comic rhythm that grows into something bigger. Maybe even love.
That's it. Screenwriter Lorene Scafaria (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist), making her directing debut, has decided to approach Armageddon the same way as Dodge and Penny: nice and easy. Not a bad idea. And Carell and Knightley give it their bittersweet best. But I never rooted for them as a couple, never felt a chemistry in their bond. And in a romance, even one with tragic notes, that really is the end of the world.

I order a lot of shirts from here, but lately I've been a bit bothered. Usually black shirts fit me well (women's XL), but now it seems like some of them are a perfect fit while others are too tight and cutting off circulation around the arm holes. Is anyone else here having this issue? Did something change? I just got Legends of the Living Dead and it's sadly too small on me.

Police: City fire 'suspicious'; drug arrest made hours before blaze Updated - 11:25 a.m.February 21,2014Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
City firefighters battle a blaze at 42 Cleveland Avenue this morning.A fire that started at a Rutland apartment house that police had raided just hours before is considered a suspicious blaze by Vermont State Police fire investigators who are combing the charred scene at 42 Cleveland Ave.
No one was injured in the fire at the two-unit apartment building. City firefighters at the scene this morning said the occupants of the home were out of the building when they arrived shortly after 5:45 a.m. and none of the crews called out during the general alarm blaze were injured.
By 9 a.m., the fire in the two-story home was doused. There was little fire damage to the first or second floor but the attic space was heavily damaged by smoke and flame.
While the top of the building burned the most, fire officials said the blaze appeared to have started in a ground floor entryway before climbing to the attic.
David Covell , the policy advisor to Rutland's chief of police, said this morning that police executed a search warrant at the home at 8 p.m. Thursday and arrested 41-year-old Colleen Keefe. She was jailed and will be arraigned today on a felony charge of possessing crack cocaine.
Anyone with any information regarding the fire should call city police at 773-1816.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible news tidbits: A fiery pit nicknamed the 'Gate of Hell' in the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan has been burning for 40 years. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

MILLEDGEVILLE — Dr. Maureen Horgan, professor of music at Georgia College and professional trombonist, has recently achieved an impressive goal that she is eager to add to her list of accomplishments. The release of her CD, "Mo's Bit o' Blues" is now out on Centaur Records. It includes 13 songs from several genres of music, from jazz and hip-hop to electroacoustic and atonal.
"This is something I've wanted to do throughout my professional career but never seemed to have the time to set things into motion," said Horgan.
To say that Horgan is a mere musician would be an understatement. She has more than 30 years of experience as a professional musician and teacher, performing with and for an eclectic group of musicians such as Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, YoYo Ma, Frederick Fennell, Frank Battisti, Victor Borge, Henri Mancini, Jacki Byard, the Irish Tenors and Brian Wilson. She has also performed at Carnegie Hall, Boston Symphony Hall and has had solo recitals at Jordan Hall. Currently, she is the president and member of the Executive Board of the International Women's Brass Conference.
"Mo's Bit o' Blues" did not happen overnight. It took a lot of time, money and determination. After seven recording sessions in four states and more than two years of hard work, the desire officially became a tangible piece of success.
"In the spring of 2010, Georgia College gave me professional leave to make the CD and it took every bit of those two years to get it completed," said Horgan.
The pieces on the CD incorporate works from the trombone, flute and electronics, trombone quartet, and trombone, piano and brass quintet. She started recording the pieces in the summer of 2010 and it took over a year just for the execution of the music.

By BRAD KELLAR
Herald-Banner Staff
A Quinlan teenager has been indicted in connection with a reported armed hold-up and sexual assault at a downtown Quinlan business.
The Hunt County grand jury Friday indicted Jamey Justin Smith, 18, on one count each of aggravated robbery and aggravated sexual assault. Smith is being held in custody at the Hunt County Jail in lieu of a total of $400,000 bond.
Smith was charged in connection with a reported robbery at gunpoint of an antique store on Main Street in Quinlan on the morning of January 18. An employee of the business also indicated she was sexually assaulted by Smith during the incident and that Smith threatened her life.
Quinlan Police Department officers later took Smith into custody during a traffic stop, after another occupant of the vehicle said Smith had told him he had committed the crime and had thrown the handgun into a nearby ditch. The weapon allegedly used in the robbery was also recovered.
Both the aggravated robbery and aggravated sexual assault charges are first degree felonies, each punishable upon conviction by a maximum sentence of from five to 99 years to life in prison and an optional fine of up to $10,000.
No arraignment hearings on the indictments had been scheduled as of Friday.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Louis Lafontaine has used a world of determination along with a regular exercise program to help turn his life around.
The Plattsburgh man was struggling with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and dangerously low HDL (the good cholesterol).
At 64, he knew he had to do something to change those statistics if he were to continue living a productive life as he moved into his retirement years.
Over the last several weeks, he has taken steps to improve his overall diet and has successfully developed an exercise regime through the New Steps program at the Wellness Center at PARC.
"It's the best investment I've ever made," he said of his decision to enroll. "I'm feeling fantastic. I'm more energetic, and I'm able to focus more directly on things that I do."
The Wellness Center has several programs designed to help manage chronic health conditions or to transition from a sedentary lifestyle to a regular fitness routine.
"There are so many benefits from increased activity," said Nicole Williams, wellness coordinator and medical-integration coordinator for the Wellness Center.
"Any of our programs are designed around an individual exercise plan, and each includes specialized guidance by our trained staff."
Lafontaine actually entered the PARC's rehabilitation program for an injured knee but then transferred into the Steps Program when rehab was completed.
Upon successfully completing the Steps Program, he chose to remain an active member and uses the facility's equipment daily, if not more than once on occasional days.
"The goal of the eight-week program is to increase physical activity while improving confidence and comfort levels," Williams said.
"The final goal is to become independent (with an exercise program) by either transitioning into a regular membership or, if they choose not to become a member, making sure they go home with a fitness program."
Specific areas in the Steps Program include transitional care to help people become and stay more active in their lifestyles; pulmonary fitness to transition those from pulmonary rehab to an independent exercise routine; and weight management to focus on the best method for shredding pounds.
Other areas focus on orthopedic fitness, prehab fitness (for upcoming surgical procedures), cardiac fitness, diabetes fitness and cancer fitness.
Sandra Baker completed a pulmonary-rehab program at CVPH Medical Center earlier this year and transitioned into the Wellness Center's Next Step program, where she has enjoyed tremendous success.
"I love it," she said of her daily workouts at PARC. "I'm always going to have breathing problems, but it's helped me deal with those problems.
"I'm more physically active, and I've been able to maintain my quality of life."
Baker has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lost part of a lung in 2000 when she was battling cancer. But the combined efforts of the CVPH Pulmonary Rehab Program and Next Step, she has learned to live life to its fullest without fear of not being able to take another breath.
Marge Benschskey, who is enrolled in the center's orthopedic rehab program, also benefits from her routine workouts.
"I've seen much improvement in my leg," she said of her recovery from a knee replacement last April. "My joints feel like they're almost back to normal, and I am able to go upstairs and downstairs at home."
Routine workouts have also helped her emotionally. A good friend died recently, and exercise has helped improve Benschskey's outlook on life.
"I am very much improved spiritually and mentally," she said. "I'm a stronger, better person."
