Henry Parro has owned his hunting and fishing hotspot for decades. And he doesn't need to check his books to know the number of licenses he sells is down."Just in the time I have been here -- 30 years -- I have seen hunting fishing licenses decline. Some of the sorting firearms that we typically sell, sometimes they don't sell in certain years, so there are trends," Parro said.His observation is right -- hunting in Vermont is at an all time low. In 2000, the total number of hunting licenses issued peaked at over 100,000. About a decade later that number was only 75,000. It's hurting state revenues. Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department officials say hunting provides an economic boost when the state needs it -- after leaf peeping season and before ski season. In 2006 the sport generated almost $400 million. Only five years later, that number was down by a third. "It does effect our bottom line and of course our services are always increasing. I think we are trying to make sure that Vermonters received the same kind of support from us they have in years past," said the Department's Susan Warner.The number of out of state hunters has decreased by nearly 50 percent -- a lot of bucks the Fish and Wildlife Department aren't seeing. "We have been looking at ways to try and bring in more people from out of state. We are working with the tourism department to see if there are ways we can partner with them to get the message out," Warner said.Warner said that the decrease has a lot do to with an aging demographic. Parro said it is a change of culture. "More of the passion -- we could excite the youth the way I was excited 40 years ago to get up early," Parro said. "It was a whole culture if you will -- deer hunting just in my time 40 years ago. It was a holiday to experience deer hunting in Vermont."New York is considering lowering the cost of hunting licenses -- matching the price tag in Vermont -- to lure more hunters there. But Vermont Fish and Wildlife officials said it won't affect the cost of a license here. They're just hoping the season of declining license sales ends soon.

Need advice on money matters? Ask our panel of experts on the Personal Finance blog and see all their answers:
What if a divorce complicates your efforts to find out about inherited money and back taxes? This week, that "Ask the Experts" question gets answered by Gregory Burke, a Sacramento CPA and former IRS auditor.
My friend's inheritance was managed by her husband. After their falling-out, he refused to divulge where the assets were kept. It is unclear if the courts will force him to disclose while their divorce is underway. When she tried to get old tax returns to see where her inheritance income came from, the IRS directed her to collections because her husband had not paid their taxes correctly and they owed back taxes. The only way she can pay the back taxes is if she regains control of her money. How does she find the right IRS person so she can look at her old tax returns and locate her money? I hired a CPA for her, and he hit the same wall.
There are several ways to get the information she needs.
To request copies of prior tax returns, use IRS Form 4506.
There is a $57 fee for each return requested. It may take up to 60 days to obtain copies of the returns after the form is filed.
You can obtain Form 4506 online from the IRS website at www.irs.gov (click on "Forms & Publications"). You can also visit the local IRS office (4330 Watt Ave. in Sacramento) to get the form in person.
If you want information on the amount of tax due for prior years, you can obtain a transcript of tax returns. (A transcript is a summary and shows most line items, without all the detail from the return itself.)
To request a transcript, call the IRS at (800) 908-9946, or use the IRS website and click on "Order a Transcript." Once the IRS receives your request, the transcript should be sent in five to 10 days.
There are separate instructions for mailing your request, depending on whether you live in California or another state, and whether you need another type of tax return, such as for an estate or trust.
If the returns were done by a paid income-tax preparer, you should be able to obtain copies from the preparer.
Since the statute of limitations for assessment of additional tax is three years for the IRS and four years for California, many professional tax preparers keep returns at least five years.
Also, a good starting place for information about your friend's inherited assets would be the executor who handled the original inheritance.
Finally, she may want to get her family-law attorney involved. An attorney may be able to more quickly force the husband to divulge information about the inherited assets and the tax returns.

Is winning the lottery hazardous to your health?
One winner's death is investigated after cyanide poisoning is detected. Researchers say that a bigger jackpot can lead to bankruptcy.
Millions of Americans dream of striking it big with a lottery win, but those who claim prizes sometimes find the dream comes with a dark side.
For one man, the lottery may have proved fatal. According to the Cook County, Ill., medical examiner's office, Urooj Khan -- who won $1 million last year from a scratch ticket -- died after ingesting a lethal amount of cyanide, reports CNN.
The ruling came after the medical examiner revisited the case at the urging of a relative. Earlier, the office had ruled Khan's death natural.
The new finding "led us to issue an amended death certificate that (established) cyanide toxicity as the cause of death, and the manner of death as homicide," said chief medical examiner Steve Cina on Monday.
No arrests have been made, although the Chicago police are investigating, according to the report.
While the motives behind Khan's death may still be a mystery, it's clear that lottery jackpots don't always bring health and happiness.
An extra-large lottery prize carries a larger chance of going bankrupt, according to a paper published in 2010 from researchers at University of Kentucky, University of Pittsburgh and Vanderbilt University. The study tracked two groups of Florida Lottery winners: one that won less than $10,000 and a second group that won up to $150,000.
The result? The big jackpot receivers were more likely to file for bankruptcy between three to five years after winning.
Khan isn't the only lottery winner to lose his life after hitting it rich. Jeffrey Dampier, who with his wife won $20 million in 1996, helped out his family by buying houses and giving them jobs, according to Business Insider. But in 2005, Dampier's sister-in-law and her boyfriend kidnapped him and killed him. The pair received life sentences for their crimes.
In another case, Abraham Shakespeare of Florida was killed after winning a $31 million lottery jackpot. In December, a friend was convicted of killing him and was sentenced to life in prison without parole, with the judge citing money as the motive for the crime.
For Khan, the jackpot was going to help him pay down his mortgage, pay off bills, invest in his dry cleaning business and donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He never got to pick up a check of about $425,000, which was issued on July 19, according to WGNtv.
Instead, Khan went to work on July 20, ate dinner, went to bed, and woke up that night screaming in pain, one report notes. Khan was taken to an Evanston hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The lottery curse. Is it real or a myth. I've read stories of people who won it big and squandered it all. One man in Texas (very religious) ended up divorced, squandered all he had and then committed suicide. Another man in Arizona won 8 million. He couldn't say no to his children. His daughter died of overdose. Big money is not the problem. The problem is how you chose to live your life after the windfall. Professional athletes also fall into big money problems.
I myself occasionally purchase lottery tickets. I know full well the odds are way too high. But a chance at a dream is still a chance. Myself I'd just keep my mouth shut and secure the money. No frivolous spending just finical security. Retire comfortably and help my children (but not too much).

Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.St. Augustine of Hippo
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.St. Augustine of Hippo
There is a denial of the value of the individual. Christianity affirms the value of each individual soul. Nazism denies it. The individual is sacrificed to the idol of the German Leader, German State or the German race. The ordinary citizen is allowed to hear and think only as the rulers decree.Clement Richard Attlee, 1st Earl Attlee
Thou all Creation art, all we behold, but Thou, The soul within the body lies concealed, And Thou dost hide Thyself within the soul, O soul in soul! Myst'ry in myst'ry hid! Before all wert Thou, and are more than all!Farid al-Din Attar
The Infinite alone justifies the existence of the finite and the finite by itself has no entirely separate value or independent existence. Life, if it is not an illusion, is a divine Play, a manifestation of the glory of the Infinite. Or it is a means by which the soul growing in Nature through countless forms and many lives can approach, touch, feel and unite itself through love and knowledge and faith and adoration and a Godward will in works with this transcendent Being and this infinite Existence. This Self or this self-existent Being is the one supreme reality, and all things else are either only appearances or only true by dependence upon it. It follows that self-realisation and God-realisation are the great business of the living and thinking human being. All life and thought are in the end a means of progress towards self-realisation and God-realisation.Sri Aurobindo
Spirituality is not necessarily exclusive; it can be and in its fullness must be all-inclusive. But still there is a great difference between the spiritual and the purely material and mental view of existence. The spiritual view holds that the mind, life, body are man's means and not his aims and even that they are not his last and highest means; it sees them as his outer instrumental self and not his whole being. It sees the infinite behind all things finite and it adjudges the value of the finite by higher infinite values of which they are the imperfect translation and towards which, to a truer expression of them, they are always trying to arrive. It sees a greater reality than the apparent not only behind man and the world, but within man and the world, and this soul, self, divine thing in man it holds to be that in him which is of the highest importance, that which everything else in him must try in whatever way to bring out and express, and this soul, self, divine presence in the world it holds to be that which man has ever to try to see and recognise through all appearances, to unite his thought and life with it and in it to find his unity with his fellows. This alters necessarily our whole normal view of things; even in preserving all the aims of human life, it will give them a different sense and direction.Sri Aurobindo
We all know the true nature of the human soul, because we have all looked into the eyes of children, and saw ourselves looking back.Bryant McGill
Afford every soul you encounter the wide and free passage they need to give birth to the dear expressions they feel are important.Bryant McGill
To every soul you encounter, be a mirror, which reflects only their beauty.Bryant McGill
External silence helps to achieve inner Silence, and only in internal Silence is Baba found in profound inner Silence. I am never silent. I speak eternally. The voice that is heard deep within the soul is My voice the voice of inspiration, of intuition, of guidance. Through those who are receptive to this voice, I speak.Meher Baba
Wert thou to open the heart of a single soul by helping him to embrace the Cause of Him Whom God shall make manifest, thine inmost being would be filled with the inspirations of that august Name. It devolveth upon you, therefore, to perform this task in the Days of Resurrection, inasmuch as most people are helpless, and wert thou to open their hearts and dispel their doubts, they would gain admittance into the Faith of God.The Bab
God desireth not to see, in the Dispensation of the Bayn, any soul deprived of joy and radiance. He indeed desireth that under all conditions, all may be adorned with such purity, both inwardly and outwardly, that no repugnance may be caused even to themselves, how much less unto others.The Bab
The use of this feigned history hath been to give some shadow of satisfaction to the mind of man in those points wherein the nature of things doth deny it, the world being in proportion inferior to the soul; by reason whereof there is, agreeable to the spirit of man, a more ample greatness, a more exact goodness, and a more absolute variety, than can be found in the nature of things. Therefore, because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical: because true history propoundeth the successes and issues of actions not so agreeable to the merits of virtue and vice, therefore poesy feigns them more just in retribution, and more according to revealed providence: because true history representeth actions and events more ordinary, and less interchanged, therefore poesy endueth them with more rareness, and more unexpected and alternative variations: so as it appeareth that poesy serveth and conferreth to magnanimity, morality, and to delectation. And therefore it was ever thought to have some participation of divineness, because it doth raise and erect the mind, by submitting the shows of things to the desires of the mind; whereas reason doth buckle and bow the mind into the nature of things.Francis Bacon
I bequeath my soul to God... My body to be buried obscurely. For my name and memory, I leave it to men's charitable speeches, and to foreign nations, and the next age.Francis Bacon
I love Nicole. Nicole and I happen to be very great friends. Besides that, the press never get it straight. They do not print what you say... We were in Venice for Birth at the Venice Film Festival. And you know when you have a day when you go from one room to another with the roundtables with about five journalists sitting around at each table throwing questions at you all the time. So in one of these rooms, I'm sitting there. And one of the journalists said, you're an icon and Nicole Kidman's an icon and what do you think about that? And I said, why do you have to burden her with the category? She's a young woman. She's got her whole career ahead of her. Why does she have to be pegged as an icon or as anything? Let her enjoy her time. Don't, you know, suddenly put her in a slot. And that was all I said. The word "legend" never came up. It was "icon."Lauren Bacall
There is no paradise more wondrous for any soul than to be exposed to Gods Manifestation in His Day, to hear His verses and believe in them, to attain His presence, which is naught but the presence of God, to sail upon the sea of the heavenly kingdom of His good-pleasure, and to partake of the choice fruits of the paradise of His divine Oneness.The Bab
It is better to guide one soul than to possess all that is on earth, for as long as that guided soul is under the shadow of the Tree of Divine Unity, he and the one who hath guided him will both be recipients of Gods tender mercy, whereas possession of earthly things will cease at the time of death. The path to guidance is one of love and compassion, not of force and coercion. This hath been Gods method in the past, and shall continue to be in the future!The Bab
He who doeth good unto Me, it is as if he doeth good unto God, His angels and the entire company of His loved ones. He who doeth evil unto Me, it is as if he doeth evil unto God and His chosen ones. Nay, too exalted is the station of God and of His loved ones for any persons good or evil deed to reach their holy threshold. Whatever reacheth Me is ordained to reach Me; and that which hath come unto Me, to him who giveth will it revert. By the One in Whose hand is My soul, he hath cast no one but himself into prison. For assuredly whatsoever God hath decreed for Me shall come to pass and naught else save that which God hath ordained for us shall ever touch us. Woe betide him from whose hands floweth evil, and blessed the man from whose hands floweth good. Unto no one do I take My plaint save to God; for He is the best of judges. Every state of adversity or bliss is from Him alone, and He is the All-Powerful, the Almighty.The Bab
One tortured soul I know who suffers from amazingly premature ejaculation -- I mean so premature that he hasn't got any children after eleven years of marriage -- was told by the priest that it was probably a blessing in disguise. What a piece of advice to give to a poor sod who comes off at the sound of his wife's car in the drive.Tom Baker
What is the spiritual battle? Well, the soul is a garden divided into two parts. On one half are planted thorny bushes, and on the other half flowers. We also have a water pump with two taps and two channels. The one guides the water to the thorns and the other to the flowers. I always have the choice to open one or the other tap. I leave the thorns without water and they dry up, I water the flowers and they blossom.Porphyrios Bairaktaris
The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fear subdues, And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from.Joanna Baillie
Deep down, it really is just a meaningless lyric, isn't it? [Sings] "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier". I mean, you may as well be saying "I got ham, but I'm not a hamster"Bill Bailey
Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul.Gaston Bachelard
God, the supreme being, is neither circumscribed by space, nor touched by time; he cannot be found in a particular direction, and his essence cannot change. The secret conversation is thus entirely spiritual; it is a direct encounter between God and the soul, abstracted from all material constraints.Avicenna

August 22, 2014
Since neither man was involved in a feud, it looks like WWE is about to pair Antonio Cesaro and Sheamus in a feud for the United States Heavyweight Championship. The story between the two might have been initiated during WWE Main Event. Management has been known to drop stories abruptly, so if this does not make it to Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, then the feud is not going forward.
August 20, 2014
When it was announced that Dean Ambrose was going to be starring in an upcoming WWE Studios movie, the belief was that he was going to need to take some time off to film his part. It looks like the former United States Heavyweight Champion might only be missing the live events, as management still wants him around on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown to further his feud with Seth Rollins.
August 16, 2014
Since management wasn't completely sure what to do with them upon their returns, WWE has seemingly decided to put Big Show and Mark Henry into a tag team. The duo demolished Curtis Axel and Ryback on Smackdown. The belief is that Show and Henry could be placed into a big tag team match on a pay per view against Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
August 11, 2014
When he received his release from WWE, many expected Theodore Long to retire from professional wrestling. It looks like those speculations were true, as the former on screen general manager of Smackdown has been relatively quiet since his departure. Long has not made appearances on the independent wrestling circuit or other events.
August 9, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE has already dropped the new stable of Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston. Speculations rose even further when Langston worked a singles match on Smackdown, losing decidedly to Alexander Rusev. Kingston has also been working solo while doing live events in Australia these past couple of days.
August 9, 2014
The feeling backstage in WWE is that no one is safe now that Vince McMahon is desperate to cut the losses. That proved to be the case when the company released Eddie Feldman, who was the Senior Vice President of Creative. Other people in the department were released as well, which means that a lot of the segments on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown are going to become a bit more basic.
August 7, 2014
After taking a little bit of time off the road and in Europe, Sheamus is now back with WWE. While he was not utilized on Monday Night Raw, he did work a match at the taping for WWE Superstars. The former world heavyweight champion was also kept off of Smackdown as well. Sheamus is currently on the tour of Australia with the rest of the WWE crew and should be back on television soon.
August 7, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that WWE is moving Smackdown back to Thursday nights. The speculations arose when fans spotted a production truck stating that the show is aired on Thursday night. A picture has even surfaced on social media. There has been no official word from Vince McMahon or WWE, so there are those that believe that it might have simply been a typo.
August 6, 2014
Since Vince McMahon and WWE are desperately trying to reduce the amount of money that they're bleeding, the company is reportedly talking about bringing back the Monday Night Raw and Smackdown super show, where they tape both episodes during the same night. A lot of the performers are against that because it's a lot more work than usual. Some backstage are also against it because the lengthy process can tire out the audience and produce less enthusiastic responses.
August 4, 2014
When Heath Slater and Titus ONeil teamed up on an episode of Smackdown earlier this month, many fans assumed that WWE had just thrown two guys together for the sake of the match. However, it looks like it could become a permanent thing, as management has gone through the trouble of giving them an official name. Slater and ONeil are now known as Slater Gators.
July 29, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw this week may have noticed that Sheamus was not in attendance. The former WWE champion will also not be appearing on the next episode of Smackdown, either. That's because the Irish star has been taken off of the road due to a severe flu. The illness is probably quite bad since Sheamus has been known to work through injuries before.
July 24, 2014
While Ric Flair made his much anticipated return to Monday Night Raw this past week, WWE reportedly has no plans for the former world heavyweight champion. He was supposed to make another random appearance on Smackdown, but that was changed at the last minute due to the script being completely reworked. Flair will sporadically be making appearances for WWE heading into Summerslam 2014.
July 19, 2014
Rumors are floating around that the segment on Monday Night Raw between John Cena and Ric Flair was a subtle way for WWE to retire the world heavyweight championship belt. For those that missed it, Cena handed the belt over to Flair and told the legendary performer to keep it. WWE has not released an official statement on the matter yet, so fans will be tuning in to Smackdown and WWE Battleground 2014 to see the fate of the belt.
July 15, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Adam Rose is expected to replace Santino Marella as the comedy routine on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. However, those reporting on the speculation are failing to remember that Damien Sandow actually owns that role in WWE at the moment. Management is still not sold on Rose, so the chances of him being moved above Sandow isn't very high at the moment.
July 11, 2014
After more than a quarter of a century in the industry, Kensuke Sasaki is announcing his retirement from professional wrestling. The Japanese legend gained some fame in the United States by being revealed as the mystery tag team partner of the Road Warriors in the NWA. He was the one that replaced Sting when they turned heel.

Banks Should Not Be Allowed to Pay Dividends Until They Are Much Better Capitalized
Mr. Isaac ("Banks should be allowed to pay out dividends", February 9) supports higher capital requirements, but argues that preventing profitable banks from paying "reasonable" dividends impedes bank lending and economic growth. We disagree.
Paying dividends immediately reduces bank capital and the amount of money available to lend. Mr. Isaac claims that if banks don't pay dividends now, they will have trouble raising capital later. But to raise capital it is not necessary that a company has paid dividends in its recent history. For example, a year after it went public, Google raised over $2 billion of new equity, even though it had not paid any dividends.
A dollar paid out to shareholders through either dividends or share repurchases is a dollar that would not be accessible to creditors in a situation of financial distress. For this reason, and to prevent the shifting of value from debt holders to equity holders, debt covenants typically restrict dividend payments when leverage is high. Debt covenants may be less restrictive in banking because most bank creditors are explicitly or implicitly insured, and thus are less concerned with dividend payments that reduce their security.
But taxpayers should be concerned when banks pay dividends and remain thinly capitalized, because, as we have seen, taxpayers are the ones who are likely to end up covering the banks' liabilities in a crisis. Moreover, everyone suffers from the consequences of the greater systemic risk associated with highly leveraged banks.
Mr. Isaac suggests that the fastest way to meet capital requirements is for banks to raise significant amounts in new equity. We strongly support recapitalization with new equity. However, the U.S. banks that want to pay dividends have not announced plans to raise new equity, and regulators are not forcing them to do so. Moreover, retaining earnings is generally viewed as the least costly way to raise funds and build capital, as it avoids the transactions costs associated with new equity issuance.
The fact remains that if banks retain earnings rather than pay them out, there is less need or urgency for them to raise new capital. With more retained earnings, banks would have more funds immediately available to lend, which would promote growth. Once banks are safely capitalized, which would require them to have significantly more equity on their balance sheets than they currently have, paying dividends would be appropriate.

"I Beat a Bad Body Image and Lost 50 Pounds"
"I Did It!"
Last summer, Sara Beth Morrone combed the Cape Cod beaches with her husband, Tony, and their children, Sam, 3, and Sophie, 5, in a sleek black one-piece. "For the first time, I didn't feel the need to cover up," says Sara, an editor from Poughkeepsie, New York. Just two years before, she weighed 175 pounds and was still wearing maternity pants -- 12 months after her son's birth.
Sara's weight problems began when she was 13 and her family moved from Hartsdale, New York, to Scarsdale. "My body was changing, everything was unfamiliar. I turned to food for comfort." Track and ballet kept her at a fit 120 pounds through high school, but she never felt good about herself.
In 1982, she started college, and her demanding schedule left little time for exercise. She ate to cope with the pressure, relying on feel-good carbs like bread -- a habit that only got worse when she landed her first post-college job. Yet Sara was able to keep her weight in check; when she got married in 1990, she wore a size 9 wedding dress. During the next few years, though, bad habits took their toll. Slowly, her weight crept up, and she felt sluggish and moody. After Sam was born in 1997, she weighed 175 pounds and could barely squeeze into a size 14.
Inspiration to change came in 1998. While she was checking out a church-run preschool for her daughter, something drew her inside the chapel. "I was fat, depressed and angry," she says. "I asked God for help."
Empowered by her newfound faith, Sara radically altered her diet, giving up white flour and sugar. The cravings were intense, but she stuck with it. She carried a water bottle everywhere, guzzling when temptation hit. She also cut her portions and tackled the nighttime munchies by turning off the TV -- her trigger to snack. Within a month, Sara felt energized and her clothes were looser. Three months later, she was a size 10.
The next hurdle was becoming active again. In February 1999, a friend urged Sara to sign up for an aerobics/weight-training class. She went three times a week, and by that summer she was once again a strong, lean 122 pounds.
Today, Sara has ditched the maternity pants for good. Most important, she no longer soothes herself with food. "Now, I eat three sensible meals a day -- and I've never felt better in my life."

An investigation was launched after police say a professor threatened a massacre at his university, and authorities say they uncovered a significant amount of marijuana growing inside his home.
Northwest Missouri State University officials said Friday that mass communications professor Matthew Rouch has been placed on administrative leave, and has been ordered to stay off university property.
Rouch, 57, has been charged with producing and possessing a controlled substance. Ten live marijuana plans, weighing about 35 grams, along with drug paraphernalia was found inside the home, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors allege that Rouch had a significant growing operation inside his residence.
Police went to Rouch's home after he had an exchange on Facebook with another instructor in which Rouch said he begins the school year hopeful but those feelings quickly wane.
"By October, I'll be wanting to get up to the top of the Bell Tower with a high-powered rifle with a good scope and probably a Gatling gun as well," he wrote.
In 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman, a 25-year-old student and former Marine, fatally stabbed his wife and mother. He then climbed atop the University of Texas at Austin's iconic tower armed with numerous weapons. For about 90 minutes, he fired away. He killed 16 and wounded 31 on that day.
It was for decades the deadliest school shooting in United States history.
On Wednesday, university officials learned of Rouch's Facebook post, which has been removed.
Both law enforcement and university officials launched separate investigations. Rouch was arrested on Friday, and a search warrant served at his home on Friday. No Gatling was found in that search.
Because prosecutors would have to establish Rouch's intent and that he wasn't joking, Rouch won't be charged for the Facebook post. Prosecutors also said that Rouch claimed he had a bomb in his briefcase as he walked into a campus building.
An investigation will determine whether Rouch should face disciplinary action, including termination, for his actions, university officials said in a news release.
Other professors are taking over Rouch's teaching and advising duties.
"The university places the utmost importance on the safety and security of all students, faculty, staff and visitors," Northwest Missouri officials said in a statement. "University policies explicitly prohibit violence and threats of violence against members of the University community. University policies also explicitly prohibit employees from possessing, purchasing, manufacturing, using, selling, and/or distributing illegal drugs while on university property or as a part of any university activities."
Rouch's arrest divided students. Some students said the threat was scary, and shouldn't have happened.
But Christian Grady said he doubted that Rouch intended any violence.
"I believe some initial investigation should have been done to determine his actual intent," Grady said. "If people know him, know his humor, they know this is very typical of him to say."

The Eight
The Edmonton Oilers used to be able to find useful defensemen at midnight in a snowstorm. Seriously. MA Bergeron might not get a Christmas card from Craig MacTavish every year but the fact remains the Oilers found him after he was passed over at the draft and he's had a career. Steve Staios was discarded by the Thrashers, Jason Smith offed by Toronto and on it went. Jan freaking Hejda.
The Edmonton Oilers have four NHL defensemen signed for next season (Whitney, Gilbert, Smid and Potter) and a UFA in Andy Sutton. Their three RFA's of note are Jeff Petry, Theo Peckham and Cam Barker plus there are bit players like Alex Plante and Taylor Chorney. AHL hires who might end up having careers include Colten Teubert and of course the draft bullets spent on blueliners in the past few seasons are on the way.
When the Oilers won the Stanley in 1984, they did it with a very interesting blue. Paul Coffey and Kevin Lowe were former first round picks, Randy Gregg was signed as a free agent after playing in Japan (kind of misleading, he was pursued by NHL teams), Charlie Huddy (signed as a minor league free agent after passing through the entry draft), Lee Fogolin (acquired because Buffalo made an idiotic expansion draft decision), Don Jackson (trade pickup from the North Stars), Larry Melnyk (trade acquisition from Boston) and Rick Chartraw (acquired from the Rangers for a draft pick that would turn into someone named Heinz Ehlers).
This is Heinz Ehlers. I don't really have a reason to include him but if you google him this comes up. He was the first Danish player ever drafted by an NHL team and played pro hockey for 20 years.
The Oilers after the first expansion draft went about building a quality defense and then kept them until they started to fade or demand their value:
- Paul Coffey (80 to 87)
- Kevin Lowe (79 to 92)
- Charlie Huddy (80 to 91)
- Randy Gregg (82 to 90)
- Lee Fogolin (79 to 86)
- Don Jackson (81 to 86)
That's a pretty consistent blueline, and a fine one. As I write this, I'm struggling with what would be the choice as "worst day to be an Oiler fan" for this group. When Coffey was traded I was mad as hell, but when Fogolin left it was like we lost part of the family. I don't know if that explains it, but both were awful days.
The Oilers have Smid-Gilbert, an injured Whitney, I think a real comer in Petry and an assortment of prospects, suspects, also-rans, incoming, outgoing, ruffians, undersized skill guys, really young guys. I'd count only two (Smid-Gilbert) with one possible addition for the next Boys on the Bus group at the NHL level, and am very hopeful about Klefbom, Marincin, Gernat and Musil (plus some others). History tells us not all of those kids will develop, but the Oilers could use a little luck.
What say you? What are your choices for the eight?

"My cards arrived earlier than I was expecting and they turned out beautiful! My photos printed out wonderfully even though a couple were said to be low res and wouldn't print well. Plus, the program to create them was so simple to use! I would highly recommend to anyone who needs personalized cards! Thank you tinyprints!"
"Paper quality was outstanding, and the color photos were vibrant. Customer service was quick, friendly, able to adjust my formatting requests, and topped it off with a prompt email confirmation of my requests. Shipping was fast and I couldn't be happier with my cards!"
"It was super easy to build this card and I liked the fact that we could add another image on the back. The design is simple and elegant and was perfectly matched to our style."
"I was very impressed with how easy it was to enlarge/crop/color change my photos. I could take disparate images and make them all look similar and attractive. The various font color choices were nice; I was glad there was a gender neutral option. I used this triplet birth announcement to announce the adoption of my three kids; the text spacing wasn't quite as flexible as I would like for this scenario but in general it worked well. The cards arrived really quickly and I was pleased with the quality and weight. So professional and so easy to do! I got lots of nice comments with how beautiful the card was."
"Great Quality all around. The card stock was the perfect thickness and picture quality was excellent. Another great feature was the matte finish unlike other cheap glossy announcements that I have seen."

Tropical Microfiber Pleated ComfortSizer Pants 21 21
Very Pleased I ordered 3 pairs of these pants for my husband. Had them cuffed. He is very please with them all. Fabric is lighter for summer, but not so flimsy that they can't be dressy. We travel frequently and needed pants that would go to work and then also pack for trips. Have not packed them yet, but my husband likes the flexible waistband. He would have liked a 37" waist but the comfort waistband was doable. They look nice on and seem to be true to size. Colors are very nice too.He got the sport coat that matches one of the pants, so has a "suit" if he wants to wear it that way. Nice pockets too. July 14, 2014
Tropical Microfiber Khackis are terrific I've had these pants for several years. They are highly recommended for wearability, stain resistance and general look. Because of the comfortsizer band, the waist tends to run slightly large. I always have two pair ready to go because I find them so useful and versatile. June 13, 2014
Husband loves these pants Got these for my husband who must always have alteration due to short inseam. Pants were hemmed with cuff which my husband normally does not get. He does like the fit and seems to like these very much. Haven't washed them yet, but hope they will keep their shape. As always, Travel Smith delivers fine clothing items that are well made and worth the money. March 18, 2014
They really don't wrinkle! We had the pants hemmed by TravelSmith & they were a perfect fit when they arrived. When they're washed they come out of the dryer ready to wear. No pressing or ironing needed. A great pair of pants for work or for travel! January 5, 2011
Worth the Money As with all TravelSmith clothes, expensive but worth it. Anti wrinkle is amazing. Fabric drapes nicely and feels beautiful. If I had a nit it is that the left pocket has a built-in security pocket with a zipper which is a really nice feature but if the zipper goes down too far, it is virtually impossible to pull it back up without a gymnastic reach around with the right hand to hold the pants just so while you yank on the zipper. I have several pairs of TravelSmith shorts with the same issue. But it is hardly a reason not to buy these pants, especially if they are on sale or if you have a coupon. May 16, 2013
Looks good, easy care These pants are travel light, casual enough for day and dressy enough for evening. The colors and material are classy and I love the custom cuffing. My husband doesn't like to wear a belt and the waist band looks finished without one. There is a lot of ease in the waist. We bought two more! April 2, 2014
Disappointed Wore for three days on & off including driving. Wrinkles showed by second day. Past micro-fiber pants were much better. August 23, 2013
Great Pants These are really comfortable, recommended to dry clean, but did great in washing machine. March 5, 2014

text: Most forms of FGC are decidedly harmful, and pediatricians should decline to perform them, even in the absence of any legal constraints. However, the ritual nick suggested by some pediatricians is not physically harmful and is much less extensive than routine newborn male genital cutting. There is reason to believe that offering such a compromise may build trust between hospitals and immigrant communities, save some girls from undergoing disfiguring and life-threatening procedures in their native countries, and play a role in the eventual eradication of FGC. It might be more effective if federal and state laws enabled pediatricians to reach out to families by offering a ritual nick as a possible compromise to avoid greater harm.

In a blog post titled "A Consequence of Losing the PC Wars," high school student and amateur tech journalist Matt Richman performed basic number crunching in comparing Apple's profit margin from the sale of Macs to that of Hewlett-Packard PCs.
The results are striking.
Richman recalled that Apple amassed $4.976 billion in revenue from the sale of 3.76 million Macs during its previous quarter, yielding an average selling price of $1,323.40 per Mac. He then multiplied that figure by a 28% gross margin estimate for Mac sales from Jefferies & Co. -- which is still several hundred basis points below the company's reported average -- to arrive at a profit of $370.55 per Mac sold.
By comparison, HPs Personal Systems Group brought in $9.415 billion in revenue and turned a profit of $533 million last quarter. The PC maker's operating margin, which doesnt factor in overhead costs, came in at 5.66%.
"If we assume they spent 1% of their $9.415 billion in revenue $94.15 million on operations, then their profit margin was 6.66%," Richman wrote. "But lets give them the benefit of the doubt and make it 8%."
Given that the average selling price of Macs increase 5.71% over the previous two quarters, he applied growth rate to data published by market research firm NPD, which identified the average selling price of PCs in November as $615, to reach a current average selling price of $650.12.
With an average selling price of $650 and a generously-calculated profit margin of 8 percent, HP would be making approximately $52 on the sale of each PC, meaning "Apple makes more money from the sale of one Mac than HP does from selling seven PCs."
"Numbers like these have to scare the hell out of Apples competition," wrote the Loop's Jim Dalrymple, who was first to draw attention to Richman's revelation.

Top picks 2012: Flextronics
Cash-rich electronics company shows strong growth in core businesses.
By Benj Gallander & Ben Stadelmann, Contra the Heard Investment Letter
We focus on buying deep value plays that are out-of-favor and that strategy has contributed to our 10-year annualized return of 19.6%. One of our favorites that is overdue for a recovery is Flextronics (FLEX).
This is a huge design and electronics manufacturing company with revenues north of $30 billion, a healthy bottom line for the past couple of years, and management that has worked smartly to turn it around.
The company serves many sectors, including infrastructure, computing, aerospace, automotive, defense and marine -- and therefore, in some respects, acts as an economic bellwether.
Second-quarter results, though not as good as 2010, were not bad at all. Revenue increased 8% from the previous year to $8 billion, but the bottom line shrank somewhat as net income was $158 million. The company renewed its credit line, stretching it to 2016. This adds some certainty for investors going forward.
We would like to see management decide to take some of the cash hoard of almost $1.6 billion and pay down the debt further, but that does not appear to be in the cards right now. In our view, that is a smarter use of cash than the ongoing share buyback.
Less positive is that revenues are forecast to decrease to the $7.3 to $7.7 billion level in the upcoming quarter. This is due to the exit of the ODM PC business, which will knock sales down by about $550 million.
After first-quarter results were announced, CEO Mike McNamara was delighted and had reason to be. As he said, "Every one of our four core business groups grew double digits year over year, and our revenue marked the second-highest June quarter in our history."
Our initial sell target for FLEX is $28.24, below where it traded for years. Once again, our hope is that patience will be a virtue. Or, as Stanislaw Lec wrote, "You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience."
Given the lofty sell target, the time frame to potentially reach this goal means that patience is a necessity.

In view of the improved performance of the Company during the year under review, the Board of Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of Rs. 4.00 per equity share of face value of Rs. 10/- each (i.e. 40 per cent) for the financial year ended March 31, 2013.
The Indian economy registered a modest growth of 5 per cent in FY 2013 in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This was attributable mainly to weakening industrial growth in the context of tight monetary policy through most of the year and continued uncertainty in the global economy.
The global automobile industry witnessed a slump in demand which impacted the tyre industry as well.
Volumes across almost all segments either declined or remained flat. The demand from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) as well as the Replacement Market was sluggish given the reduction in demand of automobiles and unsold inventory.
On the other hand, decline in input costs helped improve margins during the year under review. Almost all major raw materials witnessed a steady decline over the year.
The Company registered a growth of 9.1 per cent in turnover from Rs. 4,435.4 crores in the year 2011-12 to Rs. 4,836.7 crores in 2012-13. Manufacturing operations at the radial plant at Halol, near Baroda in Gujarat ramped up to 80 per cent capacity utilisation by Q4 of the year under review thereby improving the financial performance of the Company.
A favourable product mix towards categories of motorcycle, scooter, passenger car, utility vehicles and last mile tyres contributed positively to the bottom line.
In spite of a shrinking OEM market, the Company''s performance in this segment was impressive with a 37 per cent volume growth posted against last year.
During 2012-13, prices of key raw materials like Natural Rubber and Synthetic Rubber fell by 8 to 10 per cent and helped increase profits for the Company.
The operating margins of the Company improved by 3.2 per cent with the operating profit increasing from Rs. 246.8 crores in the year 2011-12 to Rs. 424.5 crores in the year 2012-13. Net Profit increased from Rs. 7.5 crores in 2011-12 to Rs. 106.4 crores in 2012-13.
The Company also expanded its product portfolio with the CZAR'' range of Utility Vehicle tyres being a key development. An advertising campaign was launched for this new product range while the successful motorcycle tyre ''Be Idiotsafe'' campaign also continued.
The tyre industry in India is passing through a challenging phase much like the overall economy. Such a drastic fall in the sales of commercial vehicles during the year under review has not been witnessed in a long time. In the short term, therefore, the outlook for tyre industry is not a very optimistic one. The tyre industry''s growth is expected to be in sync with the GDP growth. However, replacement demand from vehicle sales over the past two years can provide an opportunity.
The Company expects tyre demand to revive over medium term.
A weakening Rupee and high interest rates are currently the areas of concern for the tyre industry, but are expected to improve during the course of the year ahead. With the stable forecast of raw material prices, the Company expects a positive year ahead.
Associated CEAT Holdings Company Private Limited (ACHL), the Company''s investment arm in Sri Lanka, operates 3 (three) manufacturing plants owned by its joint venture company CEAT-Kelani Holding Company Private Limited.
During the year under review, ACHL has registered a revenue of LKR 4,569.3 million (Rs. 191.9 crores) as compared to LKR 4,357.4 million (Rs. 185.3 crores) in 2011-12, a growth of 4.9 per cent. Profit after tax has grown by 48.3 per cent to LKR 468.98 million (Rs. 19.7 crores) as compared to LKR 316.21 million (Rs. 13.4 crores) in 2011-12. The joint venture continues to enjoy the overall market leadership in all categories of tyres in Sri Lanka.
With a view to service the growing market in Sri Lanka, the Company''s joint venture is expanding its capacity from 16,000 radial tyres per month to 28,000 radial tyres per month.
ACHL has been consistently paying dividends and for the year 2012-13 the Company received Rs. 5.7 crores as dividend from ACHL.
The Company is setting up a green field facility for manufacture of automotive bias tyres in Bangladesh with an initial capacity of 65 MT per day by investing USD 55 million. The capacity of the said plant will be scaled to 110 MT per day in due course with an additional investment of USD 15 million. This plant, which is the first major investment for tyre manufacturing in Bangladesh, is expected to become operational by early 2015.
The Company has decided to implement the project as a joint venture and accordingly, has signed a Joint Venture (JV) agreement with A.K. Khan & Company Limited (AKK), one of the leading business groups of Bangladesh and CEAT
Bangladesh Limited, the JV Company, during the year under review. While the Company will hold 70 per cent shareholding of the JV Company, AKK will hold the balance. The Company has also signed the Technology, Trademark and Name License Agreement with the JV Company whereunder, it will provide the technology and operational support to the JV Company. Once the plant becomes operational, the JV Company will be in a position to cater to the growing domestic market of Bangladesh and South East Asia as well.
The JV Company has already commenced seed marketing of the ''CEAT'' branded tyres in the domestic market.
A statement giving details of conservation of energy technology absorption, foreign exchange earnings and outgo, in accordance with the Companies (Disclosure of Particulars in the Report of the Board of Directors) Rules, 1988, is annexed hereto and forms part of this report.
CEAT believes that its employees are a valuable asset and core strength of the Company. The Company continued its focus on developing and nurturing talent and encouraging innovation and excellence.
The Company has adopted Total Quality Management and initiated several measures for strengthening employee relations through progressive people practices at the shop floor and initiatives towards increased productivity. Labour relations remained cordial during the year under review.
In terms of Section 217 (2A) of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with Companies (Particulars of Employees) Rules, 1975, as amended, the names and other particulars of employees of the Company, are required to be set out in this Report.

The Company has no overdue deposits, other than the unclaimed deposits of Rs. 3.07 Crores from 844 depositors as at the end of the year under review.

Men love sports. No. Men live sports. At least most men do. There come times when a person will need to appreciate the man or men in his or her life. These can be a father, a brother, an uncle, a guardian, a grandfather, a boyfriend, a cousin, a colleague or even as good or best friend. When one decides to appreciate them, one will never go wrong with choosing licensed sports gifts for him.
When buying someone a gift, it is always advisable to customize and therefore, no matter what profession or what the man in someone's life likes, they can be sure to get a durable and long lasting gifts for him. These are things such as leather wallets, and specifically bi-folding ones for the man or the tri-folding ones for the young ones.
There are also other gifts such as the license plates and satellite dish covers. These are things that men love, and managing to turn them or a crucial part of them into presents for him and for things that he cares for and cherishes will make him to appreciate the gift and the gesture even more.
This way, they will proudly wear, adorn or even display and floss with their gifts. There are many ones to choose from, and they span many kinds of sports, and one should rest assured that they will get gifts for men, no matter the teams that those men or that man supports.

Polar Sunrise and the Ozone Hole at South Pole, Antarctica: Sept. 22, 2012
Global Monitoring Division - ESRL-GMD
This story entered on 20th Sep, 2012 01:45:06 PM PST
At the bottom of the world, fifty people are looking forward to seeing the sun peek above the horizon
on or around September 22 – the first time they have seen the sun in six months. NOAA ESRL/
GMD personnel LTJG Heather Moe and Johan Booth spent the Antarctic winter working at NOAA's
Atmospheric Research Observatory located at the geographic South Pole. The Amundsen-Scott South
Pole Station, one of three United States research stations in Antarctica, only experiences one sunrise
and sunset per year due to its location at 90˚S latitude. Although the sun officially sets on March
23 and rises on September 22, the actual sunrise and set times vary due to refraction of light on the
horizon from atmospheric conditions: the sun typically rises and dips below the horizon several times
before fully setting or rising. The station is completely isolated during the winter months because frigid
temperatures make it impossible for aircraft to land. This past winter South Pole was especially cold:
the crew experienced a low temperature of -105.5⁰ F (-76.2⁰ C) in July and spent several other days
below -100⁰ F. To view the South Pole sunrise, please go the live NOAA/ESRL web camera at:

In "The Loneliest Planet," an engaged couple takes a backpacking hike over the beautiful but rugged trails of the Caucasus Mountains in the central European republic of Georgia. Midway on their trek, I was reminded of advice I once heard: "Never marry anyone without first taking a three-day bus trip with them."
Not much was clear to me about Alex (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Nica (Hani Furstenberg): not where they're from, or how they met, or what paths they're taking in life, or even why they decided to make this hike. It's not a dangerous mountain adventure, more of a long slog, which seems all the longer to us because the writer-director, Julia Loktev, likes to pull back for a long shot and simply watch them plodding for long periods.
They've hired a local named Dato (Bidzina Gujabidze) to guide them. English is the only language they have in common, although Alex and Nica speak it with different accents, and Dato speaks it hardly at all. They hired Dato in a village near the start of their walk, after enduring one of those vaguely ominous evenings in a tavern where the visiting foreigners attract a lot of scrutiny. A bearded local guy looms over Nica and asks her to dance, and the other bearded local guys study Alex to see how he feels about this. Alex smiles like a good sport, although that isn't how he's feeling at the moment.
On the trail, things seem idyllic for a while, as the couple chatter and flirt. Nica, somewhat younger than Alex, has one of those Michelle Williams faces that projects niceness and vulnerability. What does Dato see, and what does he think of it? Two men and a woman, miles from anywhere. Will it all come down to that?
Dato tries to be friendly, making unintelligible small talk so murky that while listening even we smile as if trying to be good sports. There is an extremely alarming encounter with a group of heavily armed people, perhaps members of an outlawed political group, that finally ends with the most ominous member relaxing and hugging Alex, as if forgiving him for being himself.
Other events unfold, perhaps unremarkable in themselves, but accumulating into psychic baggage they must add to their backpacks. None of this is punched up dramatically; Loktev's favorite visual is the long shot; she likes indistinct night scenes and often arranges the characters in widely spaced groupings. We understand things are happening under the surface.
All of this grows tiresome. We're given no particular reason at the outset of "The Loneliest Planet" to care about these people, our interest doesn't grow along the way, the landscape grows repetitive, the director's approach is aggressively minimalist, and if you ask me, this romance was not made in heaven.
