Lehman Swiss Unit, Sinfonika, Arpeni Insolvency: Bankruptcy
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. said its Swiss affiliate filed about $16 billion of "overstated" claims against the defunct firm. A "reasonable" estimate of the claims would be $63 million, Lehman told a judge in a court filing.
Lehman is seeking to estimate final claims because it has to keep reserves to pay them. Reserves would reduce the amount of money it can start paying creditors, Lehman said in a court filing.
Slovenian Court Upholds Rejected Lawsuit for Telekom Slovenije
A Slovenian appeals court upheld a lower-court decision to dismiss a complaint by Sinfonika d.d. against national phone company Telekom Slovenije d.d. over its alleged dominant position.
Sinfonika, which is in bankruptcy, was seeking 34 million euros ($43 million) in damages from Telekom Slovenije for the alleged abuse of its dominant market share, the Ljubljana-based telecommunications company said in a Jan. 13 statement to the city stock exchange. The decision is final, Telekom said.
Arpeni Insolvency to Be Decided in Indonesia, U.S. Court Rules
PT Arpeni Pratama Ocean Line won a court order recognizing Indonesia as home to the shipping company's main insolvency proceeding.
The decision in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan gives the bankruptcy judge the right to enforce the rulings of the Central Jakarta Commercial Court in the U.S. The Indonesian court will oversee the distribution of assets, meaning U.S. creditors will need to file claims in Indonesia.
The ruling may set an example for future Indonesian debt restructuring decisions, whereby a foreign court will accept a debtor's home jurisdiction. The decision may mean that all creditors on Arpeni's $141 million in 8.5 percent 2013 bonds will have to accept its offer to exchange the securities for cash or floating-rate notes.
"International investors will now have to get their head around the fact that bankruptcy law, as a creature of public policy, has always been intended to trump creditors' contractual rights in the debt instruments," Joe Bauerschmidt, a partner at Jones Day working on the case, said by telephone on Jan. 12. "Philosophically, this is the right step to make in an international restructuring."
Manroland May Be Sold Whole as Interest Rises, Handelsblatt Says
Manroland AG may be bought in its entirety by a financial investor, Handelsblatt reported, without saying where it got the information.
Insolvency administrator Werner Schneider is also in talks to sell the insolvent printing-press maker's plants in Augsburg, Offenbach and Plauen separately, the German newspaper said.
While a strategic investor from Germany is interested in the Augsburg facility, Shanghai Electric Group Co.'s offer for the Offenbach unit won't be considered as the Chinese company was interested in the technology only and would have closed the plant, the newspaper said, citing people close to the unions it didn't name.
Meteor Gummiwerke K. H. Baedje GmbH & Co. Files for Insolvency
Meteor Gummiwerke K. H. Baedje GmbH & Co. KG filed for insolvency due to problems with liquidity and over-indebtedness, the Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany-based manufacturer of rubber materials said Jan. 13 in an e-mailed statement.
Sino-Forest Says Bondholders Group Agree to Default Waiver
Sino-Forest Corp., the Chinese timber company fending off allegations of fraud, said it reached a waiver agreement with a group of bondholders, reducing the risk of bankruptcy.
Holders of a majority of its senior notes due 2014 and 2017 agreed to waive the default, Hong Kong- and Mississauga, Ontario-based Sino-Forest said Jan. 12 in a statement. In December, the company said it received notices of default after announcing it wouldn't publish its third-quarter financial results on "a timely basis."
"It keeps Sino-Forest out of bankruptcy for the time being," Geof Marshall, who helps oversee C$5 billion ($4.9 billion) of fixed-income funds at CI Investments Inc. in Toronto, said in a telephone interview.
A special committee of directors has been investigating allegations in a June report by short seller Carson Block's Muddy Waters LLC that Sino-Forest overstated its timber assets in China. After the report, the shares fell 74 percent before trading was suspended by the Ontario Securities Commission in August, reducing the company's market value by C$3.3 billion.
Sino-Forest, which is also under investigation by the OSC and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, denies the allegations.
Solar Millennium May Be Bought as a Whole, FT Deutschland Says
Solar Millennium AG may be bought as a whole, as there are strategic as well as financial investors interested in acquiring the company, Financial Times Deutschland said, citing comments by Volker Boehm, the company's insolvency administrator.
The due diligence process could start this week, Boehm said, the newspaper reported. Ferrostaal AG as well as an unnamed construction company are among the parties interested, the newspaper said, without saying how it got the information.

Attacks in Politics and Marketing
By jimgris-Oracle on Jan 06, 2009
I used to do competitive marketing, and I went through this exact same process. However, I always told my clients that attacks are best done by third parties and only in response to a precipitating attack. In other words, you don`t attack first. It`s not worth the headline. Instead, you be the one responding. Here`s why: those who attack first generally give away at least some of their position, and that gives you much more flexibility to respond. Unskilled politicians and marketers make this mistake all the time when they shoot their mouths off, but the concept holds up pretty well over time. I`ve said before that I think people attack for basically two reasons: (1) they are afraid that someone smaller than them may grow up and kick their butt, or (2) they are small themselves and want to pick a fight with a big guy to get attention. Either way, if you study your attacker you can learn a lot.
It's a game, granted. And everyone in it knows this. Most attacks can be quite easily turned around with some basic facts and logic. But rationality is irrelevant in the arena of delivering really good emotional propaganda for the purpose of influencing behavior. That's why attacks can work in some cases if they generate a strong reaction from the attacked. Attacks spread fear. And many times that fear shapes how people think if it`s not characterized properly. In fact, the term used to describe this process is sometimes called FUD -- fear, uncertainty, and doubt. It`s a silly sounding term, but it should be taken seriously because the best propagandists out there can be rather dangerous people if they have a power base and resources supporting them (a country, a company, an interest group, a foundation, a university, a union, whatever). In other cases, however, attacks and fear mongering backfire badly, and we saw this in the recent political campaign in the U.S. where pols on both sides took some things too far and the people (remember the people?) called them out on it.
So, what should you do if you are attacked in the marketplace? First, stop. Think. Don`t react immediately with the first counter attack you can think of in the first publication you can find. You`ve been attacked so you now have the upper hand for a period of time (not forever, though). What is the attack telling you about your attacker? Is he or she responding go your attack? If so, you deserve the counter attack so enjoy your stupid little fight. If not, though, something else is going on and you may be in a much better position than you think. It means that you got someone`s attention for some reason. You may have not even intended to get this attention, but that`s what the attack may mean and that`s valuable competitive intelligence if you can confirm it. Remember, if you were really irrelevant, chances are you`d be ignored. So, dig right there before responding and respond to defend and deflect not to attack back. And if you can praise the attacker (or his product or community or company or whatever) so much the better. Attackers are generally simple minded and angry and unable to deal with praise as a response. Alternatively, your attacker could just be engaging in bad marketing or politicking. Consider that too. Either way, you have the upper hand if you do the responding, not the attacking.

2008 More McCain Ties to Freddie Mac
posted by September 23 at 17:55 PMon
Perhaps this is why the McCain campaign worked so hard earlier this week to paint The New York Times as out to get their man? Because they knew another shoe was likely to drop in the Times, and they wanted it to be perceived as part of a vendetta, not as a solid piece of investigative journalism? Anyway, here's the other shoe:
One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month to a firm owned by Senator John McCains campaign manager from the end of 2005 through last month, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement. The disclosure contradicts a statement Sunday night by Mr. McCain that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had no involvement with the company for the last several years.
Mr. Daviss firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month along with Fannie Mae, the other big mortgage lender whose deteriorating finances helped precipitate the cascading problems on Wall Street, the people said.
They said they did not recall Mr. Davis doing much substantive work for the company in return for the money, other than speak to a political action committee composed of high-ranking employees in October 2006 on the coming midterm congressional elections. They said Mr. Daviss his firm, Davis & Manafort, was kept on the payroll because of Mr. Daviss close ties to Mr. McCain.

Rules Are Stiffened for Offshore Drillers
Step Toward Ending Deepwater-Exploration Ban Fails To Ease Industry Fear That Permit Delays Could Cost Jobs
WASHINGTON—Oil companies will have to cede more authority to regulators, and take new and potentially costly steps to assure safety when drilling offshore, once the government lifts a moratorium on deepwater exploration under rules outlined by the Obama Administration Thursday.
When that moratorium on deepwater drilling will end, and how quickly the government will issue new permits afterward remains uncertain.
Besides adhering to new safety rules, the industry also must show it has better ability to contain and respond to spills when they do occur.
"I recognize that there will always be risks associated with deep-water drilling," Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar said Thursday. "We will only lift the moratorium when I as secretary of the Interior am comfortable that we have significantly reduced those risks."
More regulations could come. Among the announcements outlined Thursday are plans to propose requiring drillers to install two sets of blind shear rams on blowout preventers—the safety equipment that can shut down wells in the event of a sudden surge of gas or oil. The requirement could potentially cost millions of dollars to implement on a single blowout preventer.
The industry could face problems making enough blowout preventers to meet the new standards and shallow-water rigs might not be able to support the weight of modified equipment, said Brian Petty, who heads the International Association of Drilling Contractors.
The formal announcement of new safety standards for offshore drillers is one of a series of steps Mr. Salazar has said are prerequisites for lifting the ban on new deepwater wells, which was ordered in the aftermath of the April 20 BP Deepwater Horizon rig explosion that killed 11 people and touched off the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
Probes into the causes of the BP spill continue including reviews of BP's construction of the well and possible problems with its blowout preventers.
Meanwhile, Mr. Salazar is under pressure to end the moratorium from the oil industry and Gulf state politicians who worry that thousands of additional jobs could be lost if the ban extends much longer, or if the government is slow to issue new permits once it ends.
Marvin Odum, who oversees American exploration and production for Royal Dutch Shell PLC, said in an interview that his biggest concern is what happens after the moratorium is lifted.
"I feel pretty good about the regulations that we've seen in draft form," Mr. Odum said Wednesday, before the rules were officially released. "The bigger concern is what's been called the de facto moratoria... When will [regulators] actually be in a position to start issuing permits to drill again?"
The rules outlined Thursday would give government regulators more power to supervise the way undersea wells are drilled and sealed, reversing years of leaving most well design decisions up to the industry.
Companies also will have to pay for outside auditors to verify that new worker-safety procedures work, and will have to spend more money on hiring another set of people to certify the adequacy of blowout preventers.
Environmentalists said that the regulations were a needed first step, but expressed concern over whether Congress will approve funding to step up oversight. Late Wednesday, Congress approved $25 million in additional funding for greater offshore drilling oversight; the Obama administration had sought $100 million.
"What about future administrations and how they go back to this cozy relationship with the industry?" said Marilyn Heiman, director of the Pew Environment Group's offshore energy program. She said the regulations need to be put into law or "you've got a real problem."
Industry officials said they are concerned about the time it will take regulators to understand and apply the rules and the additional regulations still to come. "A dynamic regulatory environment does not encourage job creation and investment," said Jim Noe, the general counsel of Hercules Offshore Inc.
Republicans criticized the Obama administration for failing to announce when it would lift the drilling ban and begin issuing new drilling permits.
Unless rules are clear, "a defacto moratorium could remain in place for years that will cause more American job losses and more companies moving operations overseas," Rep. Doc Hastings (R., Wash.), the top Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee, said in a statement.

Daniel P. Aldrich, an associate professor of public policy at Purdue University, is the author of "Building Resilience: Social Capital in Post-Disaster Recovery."
HURRICANE Isaac, which made landfall in Louisiana last night, has not only disrupted the Republican National Convention but also brought back painful memories of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the Gulf Coast seven years ago this week.
In August 2005, my wife and our small children and I evacuated to Houston just before the storm destroyed the New Orleans home we had moved into six weeks earlier. We took with us just a bag of toys and a suitcase. We applied for federal aid, but especially in the immediate aftermath, it was family, friends and friends-of-friends who came through for us.
As a political scientist (I taught at Tulane at the time), I decided to study how communities respond to natural disasters. I've concluded that the density and strength of social networks are the most important variables — not wealth, education or culture — in determining their resilience in the face of catastrophe....

For potential buyers to want to purchase a house, they have to be able to picture it as their home. That can be difficult when family photos, diplomas, and children's artwork decorates the walls, according to Selby.
If you have personal items on display, "they're going to keep seeing the house as your house and won't be able to imagine it as their house," she advises.

Released: Mar 01st, 2005
Running Time:
Director: Tyce Bune
Company: Dusk 'Til Dawn Productions
Cast: Jennifer Vale, Adina Brittany, Gabriel Alexis, Tyce Bune, Rachel Hobbes
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
If they like the series or dream of anally deflowering teens, this is a good recommendation.
The teen anal virgins may sound like a pornographic band of super heroes, but it's actually an interesting assortment of sweet young things eager to give up their ass virginity to Tyce Bune in hopes of becoming a star - and, presumably, of getting off along the way.
Cover girl Gabriel Alexis is certainly lovely, but she's chilly, too. She doesn't really thaw until here scene, complete with ass fucking, is over. Adina isn't in the credits list - but then, Roxy Sweet is but doesn't appear in the production, so it equals out. She's lonely, alone, and 18, so she begins exploring her body until Bune comes along to introduce her to A2Ms and other anal treats.
Jennifer Vale lures ass-hungry cock to her bed by dancing about in black and bright pink lingerie. Although her plentiful labia attract some action, most of it happens in her butt bud. Rachel Hobbes has eyes as nice as her bountiful bosom. This video fulfills her self-proclaimed dream of being fucked in the ass for the first time. A virgin no more. Brittany brings up the rear in more ways than one with a smolder and mouth full of braces that should really get the high school dressing room voyeur worked up. Bune seems to like her, cuz he spends plenty of time balls deep in her ass.

Politics Pharmacy Fundamentals
Going to be breaking a story in tomorrow's paper (and on-line this afternoon) about Cedar River Clinicsa network of abortion, birth control, and reproductive health clinics. They have filed a formal complaint with the state Dept. of Health about pharmacists refusing to honor prescriptions for Cedar River's clients.
Cedar River's complaint is timely because the Washington State Board of Pharmacy is currently considering writing rules that could allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for things like emergency contraception if they have moral objections.
If that possibility concerns youyou should attend the pharmacy board's public hearing on Wednesday April 19 in Tumwater. (That's in Thurston County a little south of Olympia.) It's at 9:00am in the Labor & Industries Auditorium, 7273 Linderson Way SW.
Planned Parenthood forwarded a map to me that shows spots around the state where pharamacists have refused to fill prescriptionsincluding Seattle. The map also explains the incidents. I didn't have room to put the map in the paper. Check it out.

Released: Nov 01st, 1993
Running Time: 77
Director: F J Lincoln
Company: Video Team
Cast: Chelsea Lynx, Krista (V), Woody Long, Peter North, Celeste (I), Kelli Thomas, Tracey Adams
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Feature debuts for two new girls, a solid story and characters, and five good sex scenes make for an enjoyable diversion. If not for the thin or nonexistent introduction of some of the characters and the sex scenes, making for some abrupt or unexplained transitions, this would have rated even higher. Krista is a lovely, voluptuous brunette with a shag haircut softly framing her strong features and blue eyes. Her name is well-chosen, because she does resemble that earlier Krista (Lane), as well as the young Tracey Adams. Her large, round, untanned boobs and long legs are star quality. She's a rich hedonist, spoiling aspiring artist Sean Michaels with lavish gifts and steamy sex.
Celeste, who is putting together a string of winning perfs of late, scores as Krista's assistant in two scenes. The first, a girl/girl dual vibrator bout with newcomer Kelli Thomas (a poury, petite blonde with a round butt and grapefruit-sized natural tits), and a poolside tryst with Woody Long that Krista joins for a three-way that climaxes with Woody splashing four large, surgically perfect tits. This is the first tape I've seen with recent arrival Chelsea Lynx, who plays Sean's "real" girlfriend. Her sassy demeanor and energetic sex mark her as a cut above the mostly generic Oriental women currently active. Krista closes things out with Peter North, coaxing him to a classic fountain of a climax. Nice boxcover features Krista supported by Sean and Woody.

Will the raven ever be able to eat his bugs in peace?

HARARE, Zimbabwe -- The death toll from Zimbabwe's cholera outbreak has risen sharply, the United Nations said Wednesday, reporting 775 deaths and 16,141 cases of the waterborne disease in the southern African nation.
Cholera has spread rapidly in Zimbabwe because of the country's crumbling health care system and the lack of clean water. Last week, Zimbabwe declared a health emergency because of cholera and the collapse of its health services.
The latest figures from the World Health Organization show a jump of nearly 200 deaths from Tuesday, when the U.N. humanitarian office reported 589 people had died out of 13,960 cases.
Zimbabwe's government says the disease is under control but aid agencies warn that coming rains could spreading cholera further in a population weakened by disease and hunger.
With hundreds of people fleeing the country to seek treatment, cholera has already spread to Zimbabwe's neighbors. Nine deaths were reported Tuesday in South Africa.
President Robert Mugabe is coming under increasing pressure as concern about the country's deepening humanitarian and political crisis mounts. President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have all called for the 84-year-old leader to step down.
Also Wednesday, a group of lawyers marched through downtown Harare calling for the release of human rights activist Jestina Mukoko.
Mukoko, director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project, was allegedly taken from her home a week ago when activists held nationwide protests against the economic and health crises.
Zimbabwean security officials regularly detain, harass and beat opponents of Mugabe's increasingly autocratic rule, although the government denies such allegations.
A judge ordered police Tuesday to investigate Mukoko's disappearance.
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change said in a statement that at least 20 activists were missing. International and regional organizations also were raising concerns about the whereabouts of the activists.
The African National Congress urged Zimbabwe's government to find them "as a matter of urgency."
Irene Khan, secretary-general of Amnesty International said human rights abuses were worsening in Zimbabwe as Mugabe's regime was "desperate" to stay in power.
In Oslo, Norway, on Wednesday, Nobel peace laureate Martti Ahtisaari criticized Mugabe, saying the international community failed to meet its obligation to intervene when "something goes terribly wrong, as it has."
"(Mugabe) was the hope of the continent after Zimbabwe was born. How this desire for absolute power make somebody behave the way he has done? I feel very sad about that," he said.
Mugabe, 84, has ruled his country since its 1980 independence from Britain and has refused to leave office following disputed elections in March. A power-sharing deal worked out in September with the opposition has been deadlocked over how to divvy up Cabinet posts.

"I've just finished reading Siren of Paris by David LeRoy and it's a story that will stay with me for a while. It has a complex, well developed plotline and presents the story in a tantalising way. I've read quite a few books set during the Second World War... this one especially gripped me." Dianne Ascroft Ascroft eh?
The soul of this book is found in LeRoy's analysis of human nature through the main character. There really is nothing like a life-or-death situation that can split human nature so cleanly and show us what being human really means. The author shows us how a person can be completely changed from this experience, how in a few short years, in a few short moments, or even in a split second, everything can become drastically different. This book is suited for those with a love for history and those with a love for fiction alike. This novel brought tears to my eyes and left me with a more enlightened heart, so it is with absolute pleasure that I say The Siren of Paris is highly recommended by Boyu Huang, Allbooks Review Int.

This is the situation:
- Computer running Windows XP
- Running Apache
- LAN: Internet connection
- WLAN (Wi-Fi): Hotspot with Connectify software (http://www.connectify.me/), FREE version
- iPhone 3G connected to computers WLAN to share computer internet connection
So far, the internet connection (browsing the internet) is working fine. When i use the computers IP address (for example: http://192.0.2.1/examplefolder/) to access the server that is running on the computer it cannot connect on the iPhone (timeout). When SOMEBODY else (i don't have two computers) do the same on another computer it is working fine and you see a webpage.
Can somebody explain why it is not working via the hotspot, i know already that it has something to do with the hotspot connection because my computer is visible thru the internet. But why, can anybody explain that to me? Is there a solution to this?
I use this configuration to test websites on an iPhone. I don't have a 3G internet connection available on the iPhone so i want to do it this way.

Children of the Nile
The mini-Pharaoh of Tilted Mill games talks. Exclusive screens.
One of those pillars in Children of the Nile is the realistic modeling of your people's desires and needs. "This is a fundamental point," insists Beatrice. "The simple model is this: people in the game world take care of themselves. Sounds easy, right? But I didn't say they take care of your problems, or that they do what you want them to do. Your role is to exploit their needs and desires to serve your ends. Taking care of them is not in and of itself a challenge, and doesn't get you anything.
"I've often used bricklayers as an example to illustrate the difference. Bricklayers don't prioritize what to build based on what you feel is most important at the moment -- they build whatever allows them to pick up bricks and go to the construction site with the least effort. So the way to control the rate of construction is not to, for example, select a bricklayer and click on a building. It's to locate these vital infrastructure workers (and the brickworks where bricks are produced) close to large construction areas -- just as the ancient Egyptians did. It's just as easy to 'control,' but the means are different."
So there are people in the game with their own lives, but is the focus on them or on building up the world? What genre is this, anyway? "Back in the day we never really thought much about "genres" and categories, but over time these classifications evolved to the point where they've taken over the way a lot of people think about games. Whether it's a 'genre' or 'category' or whatever, there is some kind of unique fun about city-building, something we know a lot of people (including us) love, and yet which has not really been widely tapped like other genres.
"It is useful to talk about some aspects of CotN in terms of, if you liked such and such game you'll like this one. On that score I'd say the sheer fun of building up something from scratch, without a lot of pressure (e.g. being attacked by other players), is something you'll find in the various Tycoon Games. The voyeuristic pleasure of peering into peoples' lives has something in common with The Sims. Expanding a civilization over time, to take over other parts of the world gives a bit of the 'Civ thing.' Obviously the fact that the player is planning and building large cities in ancient Egypt is very much like what I did in Pharaoh." But if he had to nail down a genre, Beatrice would call Children of the Nile "a unique synergy of two different types of gameplay, sim and strategy game, blended into a seamless whole."
The "seamless whole" aspect comes into play in several ways. "First," says Beatrice, "the interface and game activities can be accessed at any level, depending on your skill level or play style. For example, you can plunk down a 'common shop,' and that's it. A family will move in, decide what craft to deal in (say, basket weaving), go gather raw materials and start selling."
Beyond the surface level, things get a little more complicated and deeper. "Maybe you think you have enough basket shops in the area, so you can tell the family to specifically make mats, or linen. You can drop down an overseers' house and an overseer will move in, gather some laborers, and go to work at the nearest site, be that a gold mine, granite quarry, construction project, or what have you. Or, you can tell him you want him to specifically quarry granite, because you're trying to erect that propaganda obelisk to increase your prestige."
However complicated things may seem, though, Beatrice feels that it's all comprehensible by the average player: "The resulting dynamic may not be obvious, but it is when you play. Sometimes you feel like, 'I don't have to do anything...' other times it's like, 'there's no end to what I could do.'"

CHICAGO -- It seems a bit silly, maybe even irrational, to be asking this question in the middle of May. There is so much baseball still ahead, so many games within what appears to be a wide-open, winnable division, so many chances to make up for all the missteps and misfortune that have befallen the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first eight weeks of this star-crossed season.
Still, in the wake of Sunday's hideous, 8-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox before 25,081 at U.S. Cellular Field, it must be considered: Are the Dodgers done for 2011?
It is a question I have heard from fans for weeks. But while I certainly hope this doesn't come across as arrogant, condescending or dismissive, that is a natural, emotional response from fans, the frustration borne of watching their team stumble for an extended period. For those of us whose job it is to observe impartially and report dispassionately, such ponderances don't come as quickly or as easily.
Which is why it is so stunning that it seems to be coming now.
On May 22. At a point when the Dodgers still have 114 games left on their schedule, a schedule that will become plodding and monotonous if this team starts to believe it has nothing much to play for.
It would seem that these Dodgers have been hit squarely in the face by a perfect storm of adversity. Manager Don Mattingly and just about everybody else in the clubhouse have insisted all season that they aren't affected by the financial and personal issues of owner Frank McCourt, the uncertainty about his ability to make payroll and the fact nobody really knows who their boss is going to be come June 1. But even if that's true, the Dodgers may have enough problems on the field to undermine the season even without all that McCourt-related stuff.
It all begins, of course, and maybe ends too, with what has been a revolving door leading to the disabled list. The Dodgers finally got the guy who is supposed to be their offensive catalyst, shortstop Rafael Furcal, back on Sunday after a six-week stint with a broken left thumb. The fact he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts and made a key error in his return wasn't nearly as deflating as the fact that just as he came back, infielder Juan Uribe left, going on the DL with a strained hip flexor.
Then came the game, and more injuries, right fielder Andre Ethier somehow hurting his back, elbow and toe on the same play and catcher Rod Barajas injuring his right wrist. They are listed as day-to-day and don't appear headed to the DL. That's good because it's already too crowded with Uribe, third baseman Casey Blake, relievers Jonathan Broxton, Hong-Chih Kuo and Blake Hawksworth, outfielder Marcus Thames and, if anyone cares, catcher Hector Gimenez.
But it isn't all about injuries. Some of it is just about ineptitude, primarily on the offensive side, which is at least partly a by-product of all the injuries. When you are routinely fielding a lineup that includes a handful of minor leaguers who aren't ready for the majors, you probably aren't going to score many runs. The Dodgers are hitting just .249 as a team, and they began the day 15th in the National League in runs scored.
The optimist will point out that the only team in the N.L. that has scored fewer runs is the San Francisco Giants, defending World Series champions and current NL West leaders. Count Mattingly among those Giants-pointing optimists.
"We saw what San Francisco did last year," he said. "Until they picked up some guys late and put some things together late, offensively, they weren't really scoring a lot of runs. They were fighting and scratching too. To me, each guy individually just has to go out and do what he can do."
One big difference with the Giants, both last year and this year, is that they have a Freak-ishly good pitching staff, and that is another area where the Dodgers have broken down. They began the day with a 4.11 ERA, beginning the day 13th in the NL in that category.
Through the first few weeks of the season, that was mostly the fault of the Dodgers bullpen, which was plagued not so much by injuries as by the repeated failures of the once-dependable likes of Broxton and Kuo to get the job done. Lately, though, it is the starters who have let down, a sign they could be breaking under the pressure of pitching for a team that is so weak offensively that they basically can't give up so much as a run if they hope to have any chance of picking up a win.
"I hope not, but it's hard not to maybe think that way," Barajas said. "When you go out there thinking if you give up two runs in six or seven innings and the offense doesn't put up any, it can put a little of that pressure on you. You want to help the team win, and so you try to put up zeroes.
"As a position player, it's frustrating that we're not doing more, because we don't want [the pitchers] to have to have that expectation."
This past turn through the rotation, following Hiroki Kuroda's implosion on Sunday against the White Sox, the Dodgers' five starters were a combined 0-3 with a 6.92 ERA. That includes 40 hits allowed in 27 1/3 innings. Before this turn, Dodgers starters had a combined ERA of 3.46, a figure that now stands at 3.78 for the season.
So the thing you have to wonder is, is there a reason to hope? Is there a reason to believe that the run of injuries finally will end, and even if it does, it there a reason to believe it will even matter? Furcal's performance in his long-awaited return was hardly worth the wait, as the offense seemed as lifeless as ever until a too-little, too-late rally in the late innings that ultimately fizzled.
From a standings/schedule standpoint, we have seen the Dodgers rebound from far worse circumstances far later in the season and end up in the playoffs. Remember that 1-13 start to the second half in 2006? It was followed, immediately, by a 17-1 run, and the Dodgers finished the season tied for the division lead. Remember that horribly timed, eight-game losing streak in August/September 2008? It was followed, again immediately, by an eight-game winning streak, sparking the Dodgers to a division title and eventually an N.L. Championship Series berth.
Is this team any different from those teams? Well, yes. All of these on-field issues have come at a time when there is such a dark cloud hanging over the franchise, not only because of the McCourt issues but also because of the well-documented beating of Bryan Stow in the parking lot back on Opening Day. It almost creates a sense that whenever the Dodgers go into a city, they are riding in a beat-up old hatchback with rust on the outside and the windows rolled down because the air conditioning doesn't work.
Right now, the Dodgers aren't very good. Unless something changes dramatically, and quickly, they won't be very good anytime soon. So is there reason to believe, with four-plus months to go before the final curtain, that this team can still make at least an interesting season out of 2011? We don't know the answer to that question. And that, I suppose, is as good a reason as any to keep paying attention for now.
After all, who can drive past a train wreck without at least slowing down to look?

Now could be great time for timber investors, claims FRA
FRA said that now is a great time to have investments in forestry as the construction industry in the US begins to recover from its long slump.
A recent report in Zacks Investment Research said that recent figures suggest that 2012 could be the year that the construction industry grows again. This is great news for those who own trees or have cash invested in to timber-based exchange traded funds, who have been hanging on to their assets in recent years. Many investors would have avoided selling their timber assets over the past couple of years due to the slowing demand in the construction industry. As a result, their trees will be even larger now and will be worth more as a result.
"This is the great selling point for timber investments,"
The report by Zacks also claims that forestry has an extremely low correlation with traditional asset classes and therefore, provides an extremely effective way to diversify a portfolio. FRA claims that more and more investors are turning to alternative asset classes, such as timber, to help them to spread the risk within their investment portfolio.
Zacks' report talks about direct investment routes, such as through plantation schemes like the one run by Greenwood Management in Brazil, where investors buy up pieces of plantation land and receive returns based on the cyclical sale of timber assets. It also talked about investing in funds that are based on timber, which can offer a slightly more risky option for those interested in putting some of their cash in forestry.

ABX has profiteered abusing of Chile as platform to money launder its SEC-Stock Exchange fraud, that ABX owns Mina Pascua Chile grounds.ABX in accordance to current mining property records in Chile, where the asset{s jurisdiction is the strongest, is title less at Mina Pascua area.If a normal grade 7 student takes ABX{s Annual reports 1996-2010 plus recent quarterly, will discover immediately that all press releases, opening of Mina Pascua Chile 2000, further aborted openings, changing the actual Pascua mine Prospectus, really do not add up to safe investment.Indeed, ABX{s Pascua history, changes quarterly to new lies.Why a mine with Gold ounce at US$40 per ounce, was not opened even when permitted to produce Gold 1994-2001 in accordance to CONAMA - COREMA environmental commissions?What was the desperate need to postpone its opening liars at ABX{s helm? lack of title perhaps?Let us see...ABX swallowed Mina Pascua{s client SUTTON RESOURCES in hostile takeover.ABX destroyed Mina Pascua owner JV with Homestake Mining the real and first owners of LAM - VELADERO, to obstruct justice.ABX bet on and abbetted fraud to achieve Mina Pascua obstruction of justice and business, via pseudo miners and prominent miners in Chile, Leslie Phillip Price via LAST FRONTIER OIL, MEDINAH MINING, MEDINAH MINERALS, PMU, DAYTON MINING, ANGLO and other prominent miners.type Lopehandia, oro sucio in Google, is a Spanish article, yet contains all of this in a very clear path of deception by ABX to SEC and its own shareholders.ABX claims 260,000 hectares [if we lose 8600 hectares is only 3% of Mina Pascua Project. The truth of record? Mina Pascua is to ABX 100% of the land under salt concessions purchased from LAC MINERALS 1994, only. These salt concessions, purchased from LAC by ABX are invalid at this date to ABX or to SEC as trading asset.PASCUA LAMA PROTOCOL hence, due to fraud to Chile{s mining system is invalid - null & void, as stands today.Furthermore, the inclusion of TESOROS assets, under Judicial prohibition to do so against ABX et al, clearly shows, that ABX et al are in breach of Chjile{s and Exchange laws.ABX is cautioned that all business done 1997 to date, using Mina Pascua{s cash, under Chilean law, valid to USA and Canada, has been done in trust for Mina Pascua ownership 1997 to date. Chile has seen its name and assets peddled and all promises of 1000.s of jobs vanished. ABX is not investing its shareholders cash in Chile at this date, workers have striked for, contracted out services are not paid timely by ABX and these people are not paying the workers.Why did ABX raise so much cash to launder all jobs from Chile to other jurisdictions?Prepare thy answers soon, as ABX BOD, Peter Munk and all undesirables involved in Mina Pascua fraud, have an appointment with history and justice.All compiled information herein is due diligence on matters of public record in Chile and google in Spanish and English after typing Barrick, Pascua fraud.
Pascuafraud,If the allegations you make of Barrick in regards to Pascua turn out to be true, when will there be legal consequences in Canada? According to an article written by the Green Party of Canada, Harper and his Finance Minister, Flagherty, have intervened on Barrick's behalf a number of times. Sounds like ABX has good connections with past PMs as edge they need to side step legal consequences in Canada? Or at least, keep their legal consequencs in Chile on the "down low?"
Viva la Chile!!!!!

If this was a legislator it wouldn't have happened, as the disclosure forms
are required and are filed. You will not find even one legislator that
doesn't file one every year. Miss a filing and you can be off the ballot
plus fined.
This is a big deal. The council should censor him, he should be fined, the required form be provided and be on file, and if not, he should be removed from office.

Spoken like a long term politician. I did. But I think I didn't. I did. But
in my mind it wasn't wrong. I am proud and stand by my actions. I would do
it the same way again.
Just file the paperwork and disclose. That's all that was being asked.

Wow! How suprising (can you feel the sarcasm dripping?). From East Bench deals to Traverse Mountain deals, to UTA deals. Horiuchi has been ethically challenged for years and should step down and resign. He's been on the public dole too long and he personifies the professional politician. And the Democrats have a fit about Orrin Hatch. Horiuchi has been in office a long, long time also.

NIce try there, Randy. The old "Bart Simpson defense."
I didn't do it.
Nobody saw me do it.
You can't prove anything.
Even if Randy Horiuchi can be shamed into retiring, I think that he believes in a hereditary monarchy, where members of a chosen elite family can all get into political positions for a career of "doing good" both for others, and likely themselves as well. Sadly, with "low information voters" name recognition counts for more than actual policies.

Randy, as a lifelong Democrat and as your friend, I find this problem over the
edge and call for you to resign your office and retire.
I wouldn't stand still over this kind of action from a Repug as I feel it is offensive to the taxpayer and outright dishonest. Randy, I expected better from you. I'm very disappointed in your actions and the way you are trying to minimize it.
Representative Curtis stole gas from the County and we were on him for it. We called him a crook and the actions dishonest. It was and so is this.
Randy, you need to man up and resign with an apology to the citizens of Salt Lake County and the State of Utah as well as Democrats that have put their faith in you.

At the moment, TOP (nice acronym, by the way!) supports only blog posts and pages. So if you have custom post types (for instance, if you're using the latest version of Webcomic), the plugin passes them over.
Fortunately, editing the plugin to add one line to a single file (top-admin.php) is all that's needed to let me post webcomics from Noise to Signal. It should work for any other custom post type, too; if you have a custom type called "book_review", just replace "webcomic_post" with "book_review" (note that you're using the singular form).
In tweet-old-post/top-admin.php, after line 679:
<option value="page" ' . top_opt_optionselected("page", $top_opt_post_type) . '>' . __(' Page Only ', 'TweetOldPost') . ' </option>
add this line:
<option value="webcomic_post" ' . top_opt_optionselected("webcomic_post", $top_opt_post_type) . '>' . __(' Webcomic Only ', 'TweetOldPost') . ' </option>
Of course, I'll have to do that again each time the plugin is updated (unless the update is to add custom post type support!). But it's a simple fix, and works nicely on my site.
By the way, I'm a little lucky in that webcomic_post is the only post type I want to tweet. If I wanted the option of all post types, then I'd have to tweak line 89 of tweet-old-post/top-core.php to read something like:
$post_type="(post_type = 'post' OR post_type = 'webcomic_post' OR post_type = 'page' ) AND";

These are cheap, both in price and in quality. But for the price, we can't complain. On the worst of the worst, they won't hold, but the jaws open up so wide, we have found them quite useful many many times to unscrew things we could not by hand that were very large diameter (and were suppose to be able to unscrew by hand). We have bought many of these for our various tool sets and work buckets. But, they rust, they sometimes don't move down their track well to open up, and the first pair we bought won't even close all the way!Despite their flaws, we still have many of them. Definitely a versatile tool.

I have been using these for quite some time at a fabrication job, these are good for home use and a hobbyist, but for the professional user, you are going to need to look at other high quality brands. I have four pairs if these and all have become bent out of shape with use, I am bringing these home for me to use but I am going to get the good ones for work, I suggest you do the same.

I have been buying these locking pliers to build special tools for auto restoration, welding clamps, turbo air duct tube beading, custom die punches, etc. They are heavy built enough to last, cheap enough to modify and to keep a supply on hand. They are easy to weld or mill to make specialized tools at a fraction of buying them commercially. I buy them by the dozens when they are on sale.
Great and low price

I have several already and being a jack of all trades I find myself in the position of needing a one off special tool. I need to hold a drill guide, at an angle, in two different directions. By me welding a tab on the left and right top side of the jaws I expect this to perform perfectly.
