Just buy him already. He is the one.
Wait 'til Sunday, he does anything similar to what he's done tonight then we'll owe it to him to buy him and pay him £700grand a week.
Rooney playing off him
Get on it Frogie.
Thing is, we don't need him and sir-arles won't pay through the nose for him.
One of the best volleys ever.
Break the bank. 40million bid.
Why are people overreacting ? I would rather see Welbeck develop than get Cisse.
If he maintains the level of performance we've seen this season through all of next, he'll be on every top clubs' shopping list as a "must have" come 2013-2014 or even the winter window of next season.
We're still not going to fork out £40 odd million to bring him here when we've Rooney, Welbeck and Hernandez who are all young and proven goalscorers.
Don't forget Carroll cost £30million and he's been twice the player Carroll was in the six months or so.
How did the bigger clubs miss out on him? Newcastle have done well there picking him up for what now looks like an absolute steal of a fee.
Let's wait a while shall we? Zaki anyone?
what a supercalaragilistic volley
No, let's buy Newcastle's in form striker on the back of 6 months form, what could possibly go wrong. He is clearly the one.
Not yet.
He is playing out of his skin but I highly doubt that he will maintain this level. At least he is on cloud nine form wise before shitty go there.
For the record, Crouch's was better.
He was class in the Bundesliga as well tbh
I'm having Cisse's every time... the technique on a strike like that is out of this world. I can't remember ever seeing a goal quite like it.
To be honest I just think Crouch's felt sweeter for me because of who it was scored against.
Technique from Cisse was out of this world though.
Kenny Dalglished passed on buying him!
Holy shit! Just seen the goals. What a striker he's turned out to be. Credit to Newcastle's scouting department.
We've seen similar to Crouchs before(not a disservice to it, still rare).....this was just surreal. The players and managers reaction after it showed how special it was.
Unreal season for ridiculous goals though.
I watched him in French Ligue 2 a couple of years back and took the piss off his name with my mate.
He became a regular joke but now I must say I'll switch to mocking Djemba Ba (or Demba Demba alternatively)
I can't say that I think that it was intentional to strike it the way he did. A swerve like that is one that you see when players mishit the ball and it goes out for a throw-in. Think he meant to take it with the top of his foot but sliced it, which gave it that wild swerve. Still, can't complain about the end result, absolutely stunning goal.
If he does something like that against City and its not a consolation goal someone will have to scrape me off the ceiling.
I'm not sure... the way he's shaped to hit that, if he had it normally with the top of his boot, the way his foot/body was facing, he'd have been hitting that comfortably wide... this, plus the fact that we've seen the oustanding technique he has on several occassions this season already, means that I certainly give him the benefit of the doubt.
Well that's just silly. What a pair.
It was like a goal you'd score on Roberto Baggio's Magical Freekicks.
Never again will I score a goal on that game and follow it with "well that's a bit unrealistic..."
Of course he meant it, not that he expects it to go in the net.
Super strike, wish he had done it in there next game though.
Definitely meant it. The way the ball bounced, the position he was in... you can just tell. I'd probably try something similar in that position because you know striking the ball in that way will have that effect (obviously I wouldn't be able to pull it off) would swerve it in the direction it went. If he wanted a clean strike he wouldn't have followed through with his foot the way he did.
Jesus Christ, the first goal is similar to Thierry Henry's...against Chelsea.
Of course he's struck it like that intentionally. Look at the body shape, if he hits it straight the ball ends up hitting some fat geordie in row z. Stunning improvisation and the circumstances mean its goal of the season by a mile.
He has been exceptional since moving to Freiburg in 2009, scoring 39 goals in 67 games for them, keeping them in the Bundesliga on his own. It's not form, it's class. I'm not surprised he has taken the league by storm, I'm more surprised Bayern haven't picked him up before (as they usually do with the best talent in the German Bundesliga).
That 2nd goal is ridiculous. I've watched it over and over. Absolutely unbelievable. Definitely goal of the season.
Everyone was debating goal of the season so far. RVP volley, Crouch vs City, Suarez 50 yard chip...
All can shut up now. The award goes to Cisse. What. A. Goal. Wow...
Only seen the first goal, can't wait to see the second!
Edit: Just seen the GIF - holy shit!
Separate names with a comma.

Dan Kuntz received the call that changed his life at 12:15 p.m. Sept. 13, 2012, and he's prepared to share his cancer journey to help others find a little hope.
Kuntz will be recognized as an honorary survivor at this Friday's Isanti County Relay for Life event at Spectacular Events in Isanti. He lives with wife, Karin, in St. Joseph, Minnesota, and he's looking forward to reuniting with friends and family who watched him graduate from Cambridge High School in 1987.
Diagnosed with stage 4B thymus gland cancer on that September day, Kuntz has a type of cancer that is uncommon and inoperable. After his official diagnosis, his initial response was he didn't need help. Over time, however, he grew to accept the switch from giver to receiver in terms of the support, kindness and generosity that he and his family typically offer to others.
"The experience was very humbling," he said. "It felt different to go from giving to receiving. My pastor, from a biblical standpoint, said we are all here to serve each other and the Lord. In treatment, I learned it's your time to be the receiver of these gifts from your family and church family. This turns you on end when you realize this. It made it easier to ask for help, from yard work to the financial side."
In spring 2012, Kuntz was coming home from his son's last swimming meet at nationals in Illinois. When he arrived back home, he wasn't feeling right and described his symptoms to his doctor in St. Cloud. He eventually tested positive for Lyme disease, but the antibiotics and medicine were not improving his condition, which included pain in his joints. He couldn't even get out of bed in the morning.
"I told my doctor that I can't keep doing this, so we tried a more aggressive antibiotic," Kuntz said. "There was improvement."
Still, he developed a cough with breathing problems, and the doctor thought it was due to a weakness from the other treatments. He tried different medications and saw a pulmonologist. His joints were still affected, so he went to a rheumatologist and discussed arthritis pain. He received a chest X-ray at the University of Minnesota and a CT scan was scheduled.
While Kuntz kept persistent in following doctors' orders to find an explanation of his condition, his wife tried to be as supportive as possible.
"She was internalizing and not saying anything," he recalled. "She tried to be the rock and was supportive, but it was a struggle for her."
When the results of the CT scan came back, a growth was found in his chest near the lungs and heart. Doctors then ordered a CT biopsy to get a closer look at the mass.
The results of the biopsy came back 10 days later. But it was hardly the news he was expecting. Kuntz had cancer.
"I immediately closed my office door in St. Paul and broke down because you're not thinking cancer," he said of his initial reaction. "To get that as a phone call …"
Kuntz was careful how he broke the news to his wife and son and other members of his family. To this day, he appreciates the love and support he has received from everyone around him, he said.
When asked about his selection as honorary survivor at this year's Relay, he thinks of his mother who got involved in a team with Cambridge Lutheran Church when his stepfather got cancer.
"In his treatment, we wanted to know ways we could help," Kuntz said.
Through these efforts and the Cambridge Lutheran team, when Relay was looking for people in honoring, "they appreciated my mom and wondered if I would want to speak at the event," he noted. "They asked me to talk about my path, my cancer journey.
"Then they asked if I'd like to be an honorary chair. I had no reservations, but I wanted to understand what my role was. What's the purpose? They said we just want you to share your story," he added.
Kuntz said people are often amazed about his openness of what he's going through.
"It's encouraging to them because others don't talk or they shut down," he said. "Not that they'll learn anything, but to me, it's more of the power to share our experiences because you don't know if people will internalize it and apply it to situations in their life. It could be someone looking for a bright spot, and your experiences could be that bright spot."
For now, doctors have been monitoring Kuntz's condition through regular scanning to check on any new activity with the main mass between his lungs and heart. Though the tumor is not growing in size, he said, the big concern is it could grow inward and block the main arteries that lead to his heart.
Yet there's no questioning the heart from within.
"My mindset now is there's nothing more important than family," Kuntz said. "When I think of family, it's not only blood family, but my Scouting family, church family and work family. Families are the relationship you build over your life. Think about what matters."

Is it possible to run two Desktops at the same time?
Hello :)
I would like to have both Gnome and Xfce Desktops running at the same time. This would allow running the proven production environment (Gnome) while setting up and experimenting with Xfce.
Is it possible to run both at the same time?
Linux provides multiple virtual terminals accessed via Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7] with the graphical session on number 7. Perhaps X and gdm (or whatever) can be configured to run a graphical session on number 6 as well as number 7.
Yes, possible. But don't know how :p
Just run:
startx -- :1
There are multi-seat setups where one desktop is used for 4 or 5 seats.
If you mean that you want to press [CTRL]-[ALT]-F8 to switch to another desktop, you can select "switch user" from the desktop. You could also run from a vt: "xinit -- :1.0" to bring up another X screen with (the default) xterm running. From there you can start a window manager or desktop environment. Pressing [CTRL]-[ALT]-[F7] brings you back to your original desktop environment. If you have a dual-head video card, you could use "xinit -- :0.1" instead. However, for an independent display and different desktop, you would need 2 keyboards & mice as well. This would be a two seat setup.
You might find these links interesting, *if* this describes the situation you want.
Wow! Thanks all :) So many responses and so quickly! Thanks jschiwal for the detailed suggestions.
Multi-seat is very interesting but not what I'm looking for right now -- which is hot-key switching to another Desktop (I need to learn to ask clear questions!).
First choice was "Switch User". It gave a graphical login screen and ps -ef showed
root 17261 17257 1 20:38 tty8 00:00:00 /usr/bin/X :20 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:20.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt8
Aug 22 20:40:41 CW8 gdm[7591]: DEBUG: Got XPID == 0
xinit -- :1.0 &
root 17877 17876 1 20:53 tty8 00:00:00 X :1.0
That's "good enough" for present purposes except that the cursor is permanently "busy" -- that's the whirly thing. Any ideas?
It would be nice to streamline the process and make it more robust, especially "nohup" didn't work so closing the xterm or logging out on tty6 both kill the Xfce Desktop. Starting Xfce directly on display :1.0 rather than xterm and thence startxfce4 would be nice ...
Thanks again,
I use SuSE which supports installing and using different desktops. If I select "switch user" from the log out popup, I can start another desktop on vt/8. Pressing [CTRL]-[ALT]-F7 brings me back to the first desktop. I've also used the second method, ssh'ing into my desktop and starting xfce4 (lighter weight for an ssh session).
You can also have a desktop session running in a window. It used to be called Xnest, but I don't remember the details now. If you are behind a nat router and are the only user on your network, you can enable xdmcp. Enabling it in your desktop manager config file ( e.g. kdmrc) and opening port 277 will allow you to log into any computer on your network (that has it enabled as well) and use it as if it were local. This is similar to ssh -X without the overhead ( and the security ).
Thanks again jschiwal :)
The need is all on the local machine so no need for the networked solutions. "Switch User" ought to work and would be tidiest but it's not important enough to troubleshoot; I only want to do this while migrating between Desktops.
There is another way to run 2 different desktops/WMs I do that a lot, it makes gimp more manageable.
I am a pussy cat so rather than set up another X...I do all my testing in virtualbox
Hi! I have recently found new soft for making 8 work station by using 1 PC. Does any body check this out.It is available here http://friendlyseats.com/en Can you recommend another soft like this (cheaper or free:))))
Check out this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multise...ware_evolution
There's some interesting reading there, and on some links connected from that page, such as "Userful" multi-seat. The link's at the bottom of the page in the 'External Links' section.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like any of the multi-seat solutions are free of $$$ to get a working version for more than 2 seats.
Do you want Windows multi-seat or Linux multi-seat?
You don't need a commercial product for Linux multi-seat. Linux is inherently a multi user OS. You can easily run separate desktops on separate monitors. I don't think there is any significant extra complication to having them logged in as different users. There is only a little extra complication to having them use separate keyboards and mouses.
There have been a few threads here at LQ discussing the details. IIRC, one inconvenience is that Linux isn't consistent on boot up in assigning identities to multiple USB input devices. So on reboot the association of input devices to monitors might be scrambled and need to be manually sorted out.
Eight seats is a bit questionable. Simple reasonably priced extra hardware would let you connect eight pairs of USB input devices to one PC. But eight monitors is beyond what you could connect to an ordinary PC with ordinary extra video cards (typically two monitors per card).
Hi, I wanted to express that I didn't find anyone giving catkin a good solution.
Well, I can do what catkin asked with kdm. I first start a new session with kdm(as root or init 4), then lock this session and start another new session. Up to six sessions can be accessed with C^ + M^ (F7 - F12).
gdm can start new sessions as well but I don't how (I could never do it).
I'm a slacker so this conf is easy but I'm not so sure with other Flavours doing it well , especially Ubuntu and other `easy` linux desktop as their console is started at 80x15. Its preferable to use X in vesa mode (to start with at first) not the accelerated video driver, its more stable and the switch won't produce glitchers.
The graphical login managers should provide a way to launch multiple desktops and select which kind of desktop (session) you want to run on the current login.
I don't use graphical login managers, so can't comment on the methodology. I just use custom scripts to launch whatever desktop I want at a given moment. The behaviour of the startx script is controlled usually via the ~/.xinitrc file, so you can just modify it to start whatever desktop you want. But doing that each time you use "startx -- :<display:number>" is not the most convenient way. So, what I do is the following.
I have a ~/bin/ directory which is in my path, so I copy /usr/bin/startx there, then I modify it as follows:
--- /usr/bin/startx 2010-08-03 01:53:07.143999999 +0200
cd ~/bin
cd ~
exec openbox
openbox_ -- :0.1

Always very comfortable and relaxing
I have stayed at this hotel regularly and can only say that I always have a very comfortable and relaxing stay.
The rooms are large and spotlessly clean and the staff are very helpful and polite. I have notice that there are subtle improvements being made which are very welcome. The most significant are the improvement in the bar meals which were once very poor and which are now very excellent and last week I had one of the best pizzas I have tasted in a long time. I understand there is a new chef and it really shows. It is my hotel of choice whenever I visit Torbay and I would recommend it to anyone. The only downside these says is the poor wifi. This time it was very sporadic, last time I paid to upgrade it to a higher speed but it didn't work at all so I wasted my money. The hotel would do well to get another provider.

Lovely Hotel in Need of Attention to Detail and Looking Very Tired
Fab location wonderful sea views, great quality bed but customer focus missing in room.
No hotel info or directory listing services, floor boards creaked loudly even on tip toes. Furniture very tired and spa and changing rooms are not what you would expect for a hotel of this star rating, could do with a serious lick of paint to balconies etc and new sun beds etc. On a positive note the staff are great and food at breakfast times was plentiful and well cooked.

Lovely sea view room
Getting a sea view was a lovely surprise for the low price we paid on Late Rooms.
Hotel had beautiful public areas, and the room was a decent size and very clean. Nice products in the bathroom. Best bit was the balcony though, and the gorgeous view. Will stay for longer next time.

The NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) heads to federal court in Baltimore to seek a remedy for unlawful discrimination against African-American public housing residents by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Theodore M. Shaw, LDF's Director-Counsel and President, said: "We intend to secure a remedy that will help African-American public housing residents undo the harms they have suffered for more than sixty years because of HUD's discriminatory policies. We believe that this case, in Thurgood Marshall's hometown, is the most important housing desegregation lawsuit in a generation."
In a January 2005 order in the lawsuit, Thompson v. HUD, Judge Marvin J. Garbis gave public housing residents a precedent-setting civil rights victory, holding that HUD violated the Fair Housing Act by unfairly concentrating African-American public housing residents in the most impoverished, segregated areas of Baltimore City. Judge Garbis faulted HUD for treating Baltimore City as "an island reservation for use as a container for all of the poor of a contiguous region." Judge Garbis held that HUD must take a regional approach to promoting fair housing opportunities for African-American public housing residents in the Baltimore Region.
In light of this finding that HUD violated the Fair Housing Act, the parties return to court next week to present argument on the appropriate remedy. The remedy will benefit a class of 14,000 African-American public housing families.
LDF's proposed remedy seeks to force HUD to remedy the harm caused by its discriminatory policies, which concentrated impoverished residents in high-density public housing; an approach that has proven historically and economically to be harmful to cities, communities, and families alike. The proposed remedy focuses on changing HUD's behavior, and on reversing history by creating a new and better future for public housing families who have been the victims of HUD's discriminatory housing policies.
One part of LDF's proposed remedy is to give Baltimore's poor African-American residents the same choices as to where to live as everyone else in the metropolitan region. This will result in a small number of families moving to communities of opportunity if they choose to, in a manner that will have minimal impact on those communities.
But the case is not just about moving Baltimore City families into the suburbs. This is only one part of the remedy, which is more broadly - and more importantly - focused on changing how HUD approaches the provision of housing for the poor, and getting HUD to take responsibility for its historical discrimination.
Many of the individuals who would be helped by LDF's proposed remedy are already working at entry-level and service-sector jobs in the suburbs that are critical to the regional economy. The remedy will simply give these families the HUD assistance they need to enable them to live close to their jobs.
Churches and civic organizations throughout the suburbs support LDF's proposed remedy, and have pledged to help Baltimore City families make a smooth transition. To the extent that local politicians or county executives have said that plaintiff families are not welcome in the suburbs, they are out of touch with their own citizens.
Some local leaders have opposed LDF's proposed remedy by saying it does not make sense to move poor people from one jurisdiction to another. This objection is disingenuous - the fact is that many poor people are already able to find the resources and support needed to live in the Baltimore suburbs. (Over 40% of the Region's poor live outside of Baltimore City.) The difference between suburban poor and City poor is that the suburban poor are mostly white - poor whites outnumber poor blacks in the suburbs by more than 2 to I. Objection to LDF's proposed remedy is not just because the families who would benefit are poor, but also because they are African-American.
LDF's proposed remedy and community outreach are aimed at ensuring that the remedy benefits not just those who choose to move; LDF is also focused on the communities in which poverty is currently concentrated, so that those communities are not further "left behind."
LDF's co-counsel in the case include the ACLU of Maryland, Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, and Brown Goldstein & Levy LLP.

Transitional housing is affordable supportive housing designed to provide housing and appropriate support services to persons who are homeless or who are close to homelessness. The transition is to help them be more self sufficient to move towards independent living on their own. Transitional housing locations are oftentimes called Halfway Houses. The naming of the two (Halfway House OR Transitional House) is oftentimes interchangeable.
Many Transitional Housing programs are subsidized and are income based. Income based transitional housing generally charges 30% of your income for rent when you do have income. Contact the transitional housing facility to see if this applies.
Services provided at transitional housing facilities varies from substance abuse treatment, to psychological assistance, job training, domestic violence assistance, etc. The assistance provided varies, but it is generally affordable and low cost housing. Read the descriptions of each of the transitional living locations for more detailed information. Transitional housing facilities also may or may not assist with alcohol and/or drug substance abuse treatment.

An 8 year old girl was brought in for a psychiatric evaluation.
The child's mother had a laundry list of abnormal behavior in which the child was engaging. The child allegedly scratched the eyes out of all her dolls – except her stuffed cat, of course. The patient breaks glass on the bathroom floor so no one can use the bathroom. She also screams incessantly. Oh, and today she threatened to burn down the house.
According to the patient's mother, she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after being beaten by her stepfather as an infant. Then, a couple of years ago, her pet kitten was found dead on the road. Ever since that time, the girl acts out and carries around a stuffed cat with her wherever she goes. And sometimes she carries a blanket, too.
All of this has to be discussed out in the hallway so that the patient doesn't overhear these conversations and become more upset.
The child hadn't said a word since she arrived in the emergency department. she just watched TV in the room as she clutched her stuffed kitten. She was still dressed in her coat and gloves as she went to sit on the bed.
"You're going to have to take off your coat and sweatshirt so we can examine you," the nurse told her.
The mother interjected "Yeah, well that will probably just get her sexually aroused, but what-ever."
At that moment, the staff realized that the source of the patient's psychiatric issues was likely neither the girl's reported neonatal beatings nor her deceased cat.
This and all posts about patients may be fictional, may be my experiences, may be submitted by readers for publication here, or may be any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. If you would like to have a patient story published on WhiteCoat's Call Room, please e-mail me.

While in high school, Frank worked as an usher at the Sheridan Square Theatre and began doing impressions of some of his screen idols: Al Jolson, James Cagney, Cary Grant and Edward G. Robinson. At age 17, he won a local talent contest. The prize was a one-week engagement at Jackie Heller's Carousel nightclub, where Alan King was headlining. It was Frank's first paid job as an entertainer and launched his show business career. Frank attended Carnegie-Mellon Tech School of Drama and did plays and performed in nightclubs in Pittsburgh in his spare time.
In 1953, at age 19, he was drafted into the United States Army and was posted in Germany. Frank served for two years as an entertainer attached to Special Services. In the Army, Frank met Maurice Bergman, who would introduce Frank to a Hollywood agent when his hitch with Uncle Sam was up. Frank quickly landed a role in "The Proud and Profane" and other roles in television dramas followed. In 1957, while visiting his folks in Pittsburgh, his agent phoned him to rush back to Hollywood for an audition for "Run Silent Run Deep". For some odd reason, instead of catching a plane, Frank decided to drive his car to Los Angeles. Driving 39 consecutive hours, he fell asleep at the wheel, crashed, suffered a fractured skull and woke up in the hospital four days later. To add insult to injury, an Los Angeles newspaper reported he was killed, and the plum movie role of Officer Ruby went to Don Rickles.
Frank appeared in a number of lovable B-movies for American-International Pictures: "Hot Rod Girl" and "Dragstrip Girl", and everybody's favorite, "Invasion of the Saucer Men". Frank finally got a substantial role in the A-movie "Bells Are Ringing" with Dean Martin and Judy Holliday. He did a thinly-disguised Marlon Brando impression. Frank also appeared in Hollywood nightclubs including the Purple Onion. He also did Las Vegas engagements, opening for Bobby Darin at The Flamingo. On television, Frank appeared on "The Steve Allen Plymouth Show" and had a dozen guest shots on "The Ed Sullivan Show". In 1966, Frank gave his breakout performance, performing what has become his best-known role: The Riddler on "Batman" for which he received an Emmy nomination. He also played the Riddler in the movie "Batman: The Movie" based on the television series. "I could feel the impact overnight", Frank recalled later. Because of his nationwide recognition, he was given headliner status in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand, Sahara and Aladdin Hotels. He received more good reviews for his thought-provoking performance as Commissioner Bele in the 1969 "Star Trek" episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", for which he received another Emmy nomination.
In 1970, Frank made his Broadway debut as the star of "Jimmy", for which he got rave reviews. He also starred in many touring company productions such as "Promises, Promises", "Peter Pan", "Prisoner of Second Street" and "Guys and Dolls". In the 1980s, Frank served as Honorary Chairman, Entertainment Division, for the American Heart Association. Perhaps recalling his early AIP films, Frank has worked recently with the legendary Roger Corman, appearing as Clockwise on the television series "Black Scorpion" and on Corman's "The Phantom Eye". He had appeared in over 70 movies and made over 40 guest appearances in television series. Frank Gorshin died at age 72 of lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia in Burbank, California on May 17, 2005.

Congress has now passed and President Obama has signed the tax cuts compromise, which includes an extension of federal unemployment benefits. But the continuation of benefits won't help anyone who has already received a check for 99 weeks. That remains the maximum possible in Oregon and Washington – some states are less, as you can see on this handy map.
Oregon's unemployment rate jumped another tenth of a percentage point in November, though people are being hired. Unemployment here is still higher than the national average. Oregon is starting a study of the effects of long term unemployment on individuals' future wages. There's also a debate about the whether unemployment benefits discourage people from getting back to work.
We'll hear from people on this show who've been unemployed a long time about how they are managing. What are you seeing or experiencing? How has Oregon's high unemployment rate affected you? Even with the extension of the federal benefits program, Oregon is expecting thousands of people a week to reach the end of benefits this spring. How will this affect the state?
- Cathy and Paul Beauchesne: unemployed couple in Bend who have depended heavily on unemployment insurance benefits
- Greg Rosen: co-founder American 99ers Union, unemployed since 2008, has exhausted all 99 weeks of unemployment insurance benefits
- Tom Fuller: communications manager for WorkSource Oregon
- Russ Meyer: freelance writer, unemployed since 2008

This call is being webcast live and the webcast replay will be available for one month. All remarks made during the call are current at the time of the call and will not be updated to reflect subsequent material developments.Now I'd like to introduce our speakers. First, we have Evan Greenburg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, followed by Phil Bancroft, our Chief Financial Officer, then we'll take your questions. Also with us to assist with your questions are several members of our management team. And now it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Evan. Evan Greenburg Good morning. ACE had a good first quarter. Our results, both revenue and current accident year income, were right on plan, and then we benefited additionally in positive prior period reserve development and life catastrophe losses. Pricing continued to improve and was in line with or a little better than our expectations. All in all, a strong start to the year. After-tax operating income, as you've seen, for the quarter was 701 million or 2.05 per share, and our operating ROE exceeded 12%, a very good return. Book value grew 4.5% and now it stands at $25.4 billion. Book value growth benefited from both strong operating income as well as investment portfolio gains resulting from a narrowing of interest rate spreads and favorable equity markets during the quarter. In addition to the portfolio gains, we also had an improvement to the variable annuity mark on the order of about 230 million. Phil will have more to say about the market's impact on our investment portfolio and the VA mark. Our underwriting results were simply excellent. We had a combined ratio for the quarter of 89.2 and benefited from both positive prior period reserve development that was flat with last year's first quarter, and of course low cat losses. What is noteworthy is that our ex-cat current accident year operating income was up over prior year, and that included current accident year underwriting that was flat with prior year. This is a reflection of the excellent health of our current business due to our underwriting discipline and our balance of business between various lines and geographies.

Since I didn
Last I knew Alex was still working on finalizing a book.
He rarely if ever posts in the forum section and hasn't updated the "blog" section in a while either. His primary "curator" went absentee for personal reasons as well… so it has been up to the rest of the mods around here to keep some semblence of order and wait patiently for Alex to return and take over the reigns once again.
I am sure Acci will be along shortly to take your coat and replace it with a badger or some other living nightmare. Please have a seat on the forum couch and enjoi a cookie. Mind the dust bunnies.. they are territorial.
Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. - John Lennon

Oh, that's alright, I'll just drive them off with my new badger then. I don't mind the cookies though.
I'm glad Alex is alright though…I hope he comes back. The dead-looking front page must be rather off-putting for potential new members.
Welcome to the board. I'm sure Alex will surprise us all one day and start popping in again. He does show up occasionally when he has a moment. And I think Oppie is underestimating the dust bunnies. They are actually dust rhinos. A larger and somewhat more aggressive species.

Cliodna, there are a few things going on. Alex is, as stated earlier, still working on a new book. Some other members are now in jobs, employment that do not permit even 'looking' here so their visits are infrequent. Because FaceBook has become more accessible and friendly in forming groups, many members are using that area for a lot of updates, photo sharing etc. as well as here. So, it gets hectic.
We're aware that a lot of folks browse and read. It's gratifying when you take the next step and join. It's interesting that some of us have been here long enough to know other members so well that we can anticipate their comments or even who has posted what without looking! Kind of like knowing siblings.
Welcome aboard and Please stick around!!!

Welcome to the madhouse, Cliodna. Though it's been less mad of late. The last time I heard from Alex was when he appointed my husband Dave and myself as mods. At that time, he was wrapping up his book and trying to get some personal things tied up as well.
As far as posting here goes, I think Huli is right—quite a few of us have been bitten by the FaceBook bug, and tend to gravitate over there. I tend to poke in here and devour spammers throughout the day, but neglect to post most of the time. I'll be working to correct that, though!
Again, welcome, and please stick around! Watch out for the aardvark, though. He likes to steal cookies.

And oh, yeah—my blog.
The blog has been on hiatus for about two years, which is a shame. Not seen a few regular names on the forum in ages either.
Welcome, Cliodna! I'm glad that you decided to stop lurking and join our odd community/family/thingy.
Cliodna - 04 July 2011 07:36 PM...I consider Acci to be my role model…
...I consider Acci to be my role model…
Oh dear…
Remember, a Dragon is for life!
Yeah Smerk, that very frightening thought crossed my mind when I read 'role model' too!
I think you're right Mr R, it has been about 2 years. Some solid members just disappeared and the only real postings have been on the daily chat area (which I've seldom used anyway). But I don't think it's because Alex has been scarce.
What I do find interesting and certainly centers on what I miss about our forum here is that I have so many people on my FaceBook feed page that stuff churns down and out of the buffer about as fast as Twitter feed. Some good stuff to talk about comes and before a really good discussion can happen it's already out the other end and some of these just get off the grid before others even see what someone started to say.
Here a good discussion could be started and it stayed static enough to keep going and that's what I loved. We have some pretty intelligent folks on this forum with not just lots of ideas, but different perspectives. I miss that; it's why I joined and truth be told, I need that kind of friction, spark, fire.
I agree, Huli. I miss some of the interesting conversations that people used to have round here, too.
Smerk - 06 July 2011 09:41 AMI agree, Huli. I miss some of the interesting conversations that people used to have round here, too.
Shall we start one?

Senior School Tax Exemption A Look From All SidesOpinion January 11, 2012
In 2008, Gilmer County voters approved a senior school tax 100% exemption for citizens over age 65. The statute exempts anyone over the age of 65 for the parcel of land they reside on, their home, and ALL improvements. There are no other restrictions. I'm writing this to examine and expose the ramifications and start a discussion on the topic. Some people say I favor repealing the exemption but there is absolutely no truth to that at all. I honestly feel that seniors deserve a break, many are struggling and on a fixed income and deserve our protection.
The way the statute is crafted is the problem. There are no limitations in it. Would it surprise you to know that in Gilmer County we now have commercial properties ( i.e. convenience stores, etc) that are school tax exempt? If a senior lives on the parcel and has rental property on it it is completely school tax exempt. We have seen people that live next to their parents transfer their homes to the folks who combine the parcels and under the law they are now school tax exempt even though they are under 65 and may well have children in school. There is no "cap" on the value of property so someone with a million dollar home pays no school tax. We have recently had a mobile home park combined into one 26 acre tract and is now completely school tax exempt although there very well may be children living there and the owners are making money on it. Basically, the loop hole is big enough to drive a dump truck through and people are doing just that.
So how does that affect everyone else? When exemptions are created there are NEVER corresponding budget cuts so the tax burden is shifted to the balance of the taxpayers. In other words, as one group's taxes go down, everyone else's go up. To put this in perspective, I currently pay property taxes at a rate 10 times higher than a friend of mine who has 54 acres in conservation and is over 65. So do many of you. This was sold to Gilmer voters with one argument being that it would attract growth. I was told that we would see a tremendous influx of seniors moving here because of the exemption but it hasn't worked. Fannin County has a very limited exemption( I will detail later) and they consistently grow faster than we do.
I think it is important to take a look at what this means for us in the future. According to the US Census in 2010 17.8% of Gilmer County citizens were over age 65. By 2015 that will grow to 25% since we are an aging population just like the rest of the nation. By 2025, including the "cheaters" about 40% of the County will be school tax exempt. That means the remaining 60% will be footing the bills. If Gilmer County school tax is 30%-40% higher for business and industry compared to surrounding Counties, how many will come here and how many badly needed jobs will be created? How many families will relocate here to buy up the glut of foreclosed homes or subdivision lots we have on the market if they are under 65 and facing a higher tax burden than if they went elsewhere? How many people will move to other Counties with a smaller tax burden?
Before I offer alternative solutions, let's examine how surrounding Counties handle it. Fannin County offers a $30,000 exemption at age 62. That's it. Pickens County offers a 100% school tax exemption at age 62 for those with a combined gross income under $25,000. If their income is more than that they pay school tax. Cherokee County offers a 100% school tax exemption at age 62 up to a maximum value of $371,375 on one dwelling only. None of our neighbors offer one has "open ended" as ours.
So should we just throw it out? I don't think so. As I said earlier, many seniors have earned and deserve a break, regardless of what surrounding Counties do. But if we leave it the way it is and allow people that aren't eligible to take advantage of it, combined with our massive County debt it is a recipe for bankruptcy. While the school tax has no direct bearing on County government finances and debt, it can have a direct negative impact on growth that will affect County finances and our ability to make the debt payments.
One way to address it would be to "cap" it at a maximum of $250,000. This would leave intact a 100% exemption for seniors whose properties are valued at less $250,000 and that is about 90% of them. Those whose properties are valued at more than that would only pay school tax on the amount of value over $250,000. ( Ex. A person with a $300,000 house would pay school tax on $50,000). Commercial property should not be eligible for a school tax exemption at all, nor should rental property.
Another way could be to limit it to one dwelling and maybe 10 acres, maybe more, maybe less. This would pull part of the residences that are lived in by those under 65 back in the pool with the rest of us.
I am not sure I am comfortable with Pickens County approach based on age and income simply because I don't think the County should be checking folks' tax returns, but it is an option.
A friend of mine that is over 65 thinks it should be based on a consumption tax, in other words, only those that use the service should pay for it. Gilmer County spends about $7900 per student and I really don't know any parents that could afford that. That would end the school system and the State would probably come in and fix it for us. I doubt if anyone would be happy with the outcome.
Another suggestion is simply stop people from transferring and combining parcels. I have no idea how that can be done. How can you stop people from buying, selling, or giving their land away?
The last solution I can think of is to do nothing which has been strongly suggested to me, but for the reasons I pointed out earlier, I think it would be disastrous for Gilmer County down the road. And so far, the few that have told me they oppose modifying or limiting the exemption have only given reasons that benefit them personally at a cost to the whole community. You can be sure I am "taking fire" just for bringing this subject up, but I am doing so out of concern for the County as a whole. The solution that would benefit me the most would be a total repeal but that would be unfair to so many others. Many seniors, I feel, have earned and deserve an exemption of some type, but how do you stop the abuse with the statute on the books?
I am not commenting on the School System and how it operates, only on how we pay for it. We can keep shrinking the pool of taxpayers footing the bill, but how long will it take before they can no longer carry the burden? In this economy I don't think it will take very long. Then what happens? I have asked a lot of questions in this article, but I will leave it up to the community to answer them.

Hi, Upper West Side. I'm embarrassed at how long it's been since I've posted. It's been a long summer of fun and work. Work is taking over a bit more now. I've accepted a bigger role at my current day job, so it's sucking up the hours I have available to blog, tweet, read US Weekly, and um, make dinner for my children. Many thanks to the 14 of you who continue to check up on Upper West Side Style. I promise I will be better!
There's been a lot going on in our hood. And of course–it's fashion week! I'll be in the tents at Lincoln Center again this season, so at a bare minimum I'll toss up some good pictures, and get in a groove again this fall. Feedback appreciated! Upper West Side is back for the fall. Sort of.

MVCD alum, reformer to step down as head of D.C. schools
Wed, 13 Oct 2010 14:03:36 GMT —
Toledo native and head of the District of Columbia Public School System will resign at the end of October, bringing to an end a tenure that has drawn national attention.
Rhee, who grew up in Toledo and graduated from Maumee Valley Country Day School in 1988, has been a polarizing figure as the school system's Chancellor, gaining both support and criticism in her drive for education reform.
Earlier this year, Rhee received both backlash and praise after firing many D.C. public school teachers based on their students' standardized test scores.
The MVCDS alum, who says her high school classroom experience helped mold her perspective on education, has been featured in both a new documentary "Waiting for superman" and NBC series "Education Nation."
"You wake up every morning and you know that kids are getting a really crappy education right now," Rhee says in the documentary. Her future in the D.C. school system became uncertain after one of her biggest backer's, D.C. mayor Adrian Fenty, lost his reelection bid.
Fenty appointed Rhee to her position as Chancellor in 2007, giving her a mandate to improve one of the worst urban school systems in the country. Since then, Rhee has improved test scores and approved new union contracts.
Rhee, 40, is expected to announce her resignation Wednesday morning in Washington.

Holtz's name floated as potential hire at Arkansas
TAMPA -- With Tuesday night's news that Arkansas had fired coach Bobby Petrino in the wake of a scandalous motorcycle accident, USF coach Skip Holtz has been mentioned prominently as a potential hire for the Razorbacks.
Holtz's father, Lou, was the head coach at Arkansas from 1977-83, going 60-21-2 and leading the Razorbacks to six bowl games, and during that time, Skip Holtz lived in Fayetteville from seventh grade though his graduation from Fayetteville High School. His final game as head coach at East Carolina before coming to USF in 2010 was against Arkansas, a game his Pirates lost in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.
"Being a kid, growing up as an Arkansas fan and now having to coach against them, this is when it hit me," Holtz told reporters before that game. "I feel like I should be sitting on that side because ... from seventh grade all the way up through high school, I grew up in Fayetteville."
That familiarity and nostalgia has drawn him to a job before -- he took his first head coaching job at I-AA Connecticut, where his father was an assistant when Skip was born. His father ranks third all-time among Arkansas head coaches, with the school's second-best career winning percentage, behind only Ken Hatfield.
Holtz is just 13-12 in two seasons at USF, going 5-7 overall and 1-6 in the Big East in 2011, but he won two Conference USA championships at East Carolina in 2008-09 and nearly beat Arkansas in that Liberty Bowl, losing only after a series of missed field goals.
The biggest lures to Arkansas might be the prestige of coaching in the SEC and the potential for a significant raise. Holtz is making $1.8 million this year in the third year of a five-year contract, but Petrino made more than twice that in 2011, earning $3.64 million. Nine of the SEC's 12 head coaches made at least $2.5 million in 2011. By Holtz's contract, he would owe USF $500,000 if he opted out of his deal this year.
In speculation immediately after Petrino's firing, Holtz's name came up often, largely on the connections his father has to Arkansas. "Skip Holtz may get in the mix for Arkansas with his dad pushing for it," CBS's Bruce Feldman tweeted.
Holtz did not respond to a message seeking comment, but he's scheduled to talk with reporters after Wednesday's morning practice, the last before USF's Green and Gold Bowl scrimmage on campus Saturday.

DsDNA test
Are there other conditions besides lupus that could cause a strongly positive dsDNA along with a positive ANA? Is it possible that the dsDNA test could be positive like some normal people have a positive ANA or could it be caused by a short term infection in a normal healthy person?
If the test is done correctly, a strongly positive dsDNA indicates lupus. Unlike the ANA, a positive dsDNA is not found in otherwise healthy individuals

Changes the file size.
int _chsize( int fd, long size );
- fd
- File descriptor referring to open file.
- size
- New length of file in bytes.
Return Value
_chsize returns the value 0 if the file size is successfully changed. A return value of –1 indicates an error: errno is set to EACCES if the specified file is locked against access, to EBADF if the specified file is read-only or the descriptor is invalid, or to ENOSPC if no space is left on the device.
See _doserrno, errno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr for more information on these, and other, return codes.
The _chsize function extends or truncates the file associated with fd to the length specified by size. The file must be open in a mode that permits writing. Null characters ('\0') are appended if the file is extended. If the file is truncated, all data from the end of the shortened file to the original length of the file is lost.

The exclusion of the 30 per cent Resource Exploration Rebate under the new Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT) regime creates challenges for junior explorers. With junior explorers making up more than 70 per cent of companies engaged in mineral exploration within Australia, it is time to consider a model that will attract investment.
This particular model is the introduction of a flow-through share scheme. The Labor Party had actually committed to this policy in the lead-up to the 2007 election. Much work has been done since by government and industry to create a structure to support smaller exploration companies while at the same time ensuring the scheme is not subject to abuse.
The government's main concern is to prevent the problems it experienced with managed investments and other schemes structured around tax incentives. It is also concerned that investors driven by a tax incentive will rush in to buy shares in junior explorers then sell them shortly after, providing no ongoing support for the industry.
We need to strike a balance between the integrity of any model and the incentive to invest. Creating that balance is paramount to any discussion about flow-through shares in Australia.
A flow-through share arrangement would rectify an anomaly in Australian tax law that places junior explorers at a disadvantage. The Income Tax Assessment Act provides an immediate tax deduction for exploration expenditure, the rationale being that it is a high risk activity that can benefit the economy. However, junior exploration companies generally do not generate any assessable income. As a result, these exploration deductions create a pool of tax losses that are carried forward from one year to the next and in many cases are never utilised.
A flow-through share scheme could be broadly modelled on one that has operated in Canada for more than 25 years. Shares that have a flow-through component are generally issued at a premium to an equivalent ordinary share because of the tax benefit attached to them. Under this scheme, the company renounces its deductions for the exploration spend from the equity raised. The renounced deduction then "flows through" to the investor.
In its 2008 submission, the industry proposed a model where the company that spends money on exploration will generate a tax credit. The company then, at its discretion, would pass these tax credits on to investors to reduce their tax. This is a similar approach to our existing franking regime.
To address the government's concerns about short-term investment, one could have a model where the investor is provided with a deduction for her initial investment that is spread over, say, three years. Investors would get one third of their investment as a deduction for each year. In order to claim each deduction they would need to continue to hold onto their shares. This would give the government comfort in knowing that investors must retain their shares to secure a deduction. Such an arrangement would also help generate longer term support for the industry.
For investors claiming their deductions, their capital gains tax (CGT) cost base is reduced to nil. Whatever you sell the shares for is what you pay CGT on so there is some upside for the government, providing some claw back of the tax deduction they have provided.
In the end, it's all about striking that balance between integrity and incentive. It is an opportunity for the MRRT Policy Transition Group headed by

I like the size of my chin as in I dont want it any larger, I would just like to have a longer chin therefore appearing as if i have a longer jawline. Is this possible?
Can a Chin Implant Help to Create What Would Appear to Be a Longer Jawline?
Doctor Answers 4
Creating a jawline with a Chin Implant
Balancing the facial profile and adding definition to facial features are the expected results of facial implants. A consultation appointment with a BOARD CERTIFIED Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon should be a priority to determine what would be the best option for your face. Make sure that you are choosing to enhance your appearance for yourself and for no one else. During your appointment, make sure you ask as many questions as you want, look at their before and after pictures of their work, and feel comfortable and confident in your choice of surgeon. A chin implant can help balance out a strong or prominent nose, extend the jawline, or strengthen a weak or pooly-defined chin. A profound outcome can be achieved with even a subtle change!
Good Luck and Best Wishes,
Simon J. Madorsky, MD
Chin implants come in many different shapes and sizes
Your chin appearance can be modified with an implant, while taking into account your facial structure, chin anatomy, and specific needs. Creating a longer jawline without making your chin look larger is possible. Direct evaluation of your chin is needed to make this determination.
Grigoriy Mashkevich, MD
Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for discussion of chin implant options
Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for discussion of chin implant options. It's difficult to assess exactly what you desire without photos and/ or seeing you in the office in person. When choosing a plastic surgeon, ensure that they have alot of experience with facial implants, show you their own before and after photos and, above all, put you at ease.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --This feels like deja vu all over again, as Yogi Berra famously phrased it. In the past few years whenever a successful company spins off a division it frequently leads to two chances to "buy low and sell high."As you may have heard, Abbott Laboratories ( ABT) completed its promised spin-off of AbbVie ( ABBV), which is a drug maker built largely around a drug called Humira, a best-selling rheumatoid arthritis injection that produced $7.93 billion in revenue during 2011. As an ABT shareholder, I received shares of ABBV on Wednesday and when the shares rose over $35 I decided to sell. My intention was that if past spin-offs are any template for how the price of ABBV shares will act, I fully anticipate being able to buy those shares back for less than I sold them. In a recent Bloomberg News story I learned that ABBV will "...seek treatments for unmet medical needs in a push to grow sales in 2015," according to the company's new chief financial officer. "The competition is less keen to find drugs for conditions with few current therapies than for primary care," CFO William Chase told Bloomberg Thursday in an interview in New York. "AbbVie will focus on these illnesses, such as Parkinson's and endometriosis, a disease of the uterus, where the North Chicago, Ill.-based company already has treatments under development," he said. That's the apparent good news about ABBV. The not-so-great news came later in the interview with the CFO. ""We're not going to be a primary care company going forward," Chase said. "What we're really looking for is specialty segments." "The goal is for those products to come on line in 2015," Chase said. "In 2015, the pipeline will kick in and at which point we're confident AbbVie will return to growth, Chase said." My stars, that's two years from now! Maybe we can buy shares between now and then at around $27, almost 20% below the opening day high. Let me commend Chase and ABBV for disclosing that it'll be two years or more before the "return to growth." If ABBV adds even more promising blockbuster drug treatments to its product pipeline it may become a lucrative, high-performance company. Then its stock price is likely to rise well before 2015.
