MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 2 Hold Ratings, 1 Buy RatingConsensus Rating:Hold (Score: 2.33)Consensus Price Target: $9.75 (179.37% upside) Analysts' Ratings History for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ:KCAP) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails9/25/2017Ladenburg Thalmann Financial ServicesInitiated CoverageNeutral -> NeutralLow7/21/2017Keefe, Bruyette & WoodsReiterated RatingHold$3.50Low5/1/2017BMO Capital MarketsReiterated RatingBuy$16.00Low4/27/2016Janney Montgomery ScottReiterated RatingHoldN/A12/17/2015Cantor FitzgeraldReiterated RatingHold$4.50N/A(Data available from 9/25/2015 forward) Earnings Earnings History for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ:KCAP)Earnings History by Quarter for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ KCAP)DateQuarterConsensus EstimateActual EPSRevenue EstimateActual RevenueRelease LinkConference CallDetails10/31/2017$0.08N/A8/2/2017Q2 2017$0.10$0.07$7.95 million$7.66 millionViewListen5/4/2017Q1 2017$0.10$0.09$8.08 million$7.77 millionViewListen11/2/2016Q3 2016$0.15$0.12$9.90 million$9.02 millionViewListen3/9/2016Q4$0.17$0.14$11.35 million$10.23 millionViewN/A8/5/2015Q215$0.18$0.16$11.91 million$11.17 millionViewListen5/6/2015Q115$0.18$0.18$10.80 million$12.34 millionViewN/A4/14/2015$0.18($0.28)ViewN/A11/5/2014Q314$0.25$0.23$13.50 million$13.68 millionViewN/A8/6/2014Q2$0.25$0.24$13.51 million$13.22 millionViewListen5/7/2014Q1 2014$0.24$0.24$13.26 million$13.39 millionViewN/A3/12/2014$0.25$0.21ViewN/A11/7/2013Q313$0.24$0.22$12.74 millionViewN/A8/6/2013Q2 2013$0.26$0.20ViewN/A(Data available from 1/1/2011 forward) Estimates Earnings Estimates for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ:KCAP)Current Year EPS Consensus Estimate: $0.34 EPSNext Year EPS Consensus Estimate: $0.37 EPS Dividends Current Dividend Information for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ:KCAP)Next Dividend:10/26/2017Annual Dividend:$0.48Dividend Yield:13.75%Payout Ratio:320.00% (Trailing 12 Months of Earnings) 141.18% (Based on This Year's Estimates)129.73% (Based on Next Year's Estimates)Dividend History by Quarter for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ KCAP)AnnouncedPeriodAmountYieldEx-Dividend DateRecord DatePayable Date9/25/2017quarterly$0.1213.48%10/6/201710/10/201710/26/20176/21/2017quarterly$0.1214.04%7/5/20177/7/20177/27/20173/22/2017quarterly$0.1212.15%4/5/20174/7/20174/28/201712/15/2016quarterly$0.1212.06%1/4/20171/6/20171/27/20179/21/2016quarterly$0.1513.02%10/12/201610/14/201610/27/20166/22/2016quarterly$0.1515.63%7/5/20167/7/20167/28/20163/21/2016quarterly$0.1518.4%4/5/20164/7/20164/28/201612/17/2015quarterly$0.1515.87%12/30/20151/4/20161/28/20169/23/2015quarterly$0.2117.25%10/9/201510/14/201510/27/20156/24/2015quarterly$0.2113.66%7/1/20157/6/20157/27/20153/25/2015quarterly$0.2112.28%4/1/20154/6/20154/27/201512/17/2014quarterly$0.2513.57%12/24/201412/29/20141/29/20159/19/2014quarterly$0.2511.9%10/9/201410/14/201410/29/20146/20/2014quarterly$0.2512.27%7/1/20147/3/20147/25/20143/21/2014quarterly$0.2512.09%4/2/20144/4/20144/25/201412/13/2013quarterly$0.2512.24%12/24/201312/27/20131/27/20149/13/2013quarterly$0.2511.01%10/4/201310/8/201310/29/20136/17/2013quarterly$0.2810.43%7/2/20137/5/20137/26/20133/15/2013quarterly$0.2810.58%4/3/20134/5/20134/26/201312/17/2012quarterly$0.2811.73%12/26/201212/28/20121/28/2013(Data available from 1/1/2013 forward) Insider Trades Insider Trading History for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ:KCAP)No insider trades for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Headlines Headline Trends for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ:KCAP) Latest Headlines for KCAP Financial (NASDAQ:KCAP) Source: All Sources Trusted Sources MarketBeat.com Bloomberg MarketWatch Motley Fool NASDAQ Reuters Seeking Alpha The Street The Wall Street Journal Yahoo Finance DateHeadlineForm 4 KCAP Financial, Inc.

Blonde Redhead is a New York indie-rock trio consisting of Kazu Makino (female) and Italian twins Simone and Amedeo Pace (males). With a sound often compared to that of Deerhoof and Sonic Youth, Blonde Redhead has been developing an ethereal style of their own since 1993, working with the likes of Guy Picciotto (Fugazi) and Alan Moulder (mixer of the illustrious Smashing Pumpkins, U2, and NIN). But more importantly, they're a bitchin' drink!

Now that those stuffed turkeys and pumpkin pies are beginning to hit the shelves of practically every grocery store across the country, the mother of your family is likely on the lookout for decorative items that can add a little extra spice to her living spaces for the Thanksgiving feast. If this is the case, the family matriarch is probably working overtime to ensure that everything is prepared in time for the festivities, especially if practically every close relative is making the trek to her house come Turkey Day. You might want to consider taking a load off her shoulders by endowing her with plant gifts that can give the entire home an appropriate seasonal flair.
While there are plenty of fall decorations out there that can spruce up virtually any home, housewarming plants are often the best way to go. After all, the autumn months are known best for harvest, especially when referring to gourds.
Although it may not be ideal to use a pumpkin as the centerpiece to a dinner table, there are a number of flowers on the market that might just look great in a ceramic pumpkin container. For example, the dark red-orange hues of the kalanchoe plant can be the perfect match for a pumpkin decoration. The plant requires very little care, which means that your mom won't have to put that on her extensive to-do list every day.
Another fabulous centerpiece for the kitchen table is a Thanksgiving Cornucopia, which consists of maple and eucalyptus leaves, as well as faux pomegranates, fresh evergreens and faux berries. This spectacular arrangement comes in a ginger grosgrain triple bow that has a unique triangular shape. Any mother would surely be glad to make this the focal point of her dining room table during a Thanksgiving feast.
If you think your mom would be more pleased by an item that can give guests a warm greeting at her front door, you might want to take wreathes into consideration. Although it may seem slightly early for those types of arrangements, there are plenty of seasonal ones to choose from, such as a pumpkin spice or autumn wreath.
When picking the perfect floral arrangements for your mother when she hosts a massive Thanksgiving feast, why not go for those that can pay appropriate homage to the season?

Here is, 1. An enquiry made into the reasons why God would bring those judgments upon them (Jer. 16:10): When thou shalt show this people all these words, the words of this curse, they will say unto thee, Wherefore has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? One would hope that there were some among them that asked this question with a humble penitent heart, desiring to know what was the sin for which God contended with them, that they might cast it away and prevent the judgment: "Show us the Jonah that raises the storm and we will throw it overboard." But it seems here to be the language of those who quarrelled at the word of God, and challenged him to show what they had done which might deserve so severe a punishment: "What is our iniquity? Or what is our sin? What crime have we even been guilty of, proportionable to such a sentence?" Instead of humbling and condemning themselves, they stand upon their own justification and insinuate that God did them wrong in pronouncing this evil against them, that he laid upon them more than was right, and that they had reason to enter into judgment with God, Job 34:23. Note, It is amazing to see how hardly sinners are brought to justify God and judge themselves when they are in trouble, and to own the iniquity and the sin that have procured them the trouble. 2. A plain and full answer given to this enquiry. Do they ask the prophet why, and for what reason, God is thus angry with them? He shall not stop their mouths by telling them that they may be sure there is a sufficient reason, the righteous God is never angry without cause, without good cause; but he must tell them particularly what is the cause, that they may be convinced and humbled, or at least that God may be justified. Let them know then, (1.) That God visited upon them the iniquities of their fathers (Jer. 16:11): Your fathers have forsaken me, and have not kept my law. They shook off divine institutions and grew weary of them (they thought them too plain, too mean), and then they walked after other gods, whose worship was more gay and pompous; and, being fond of variety and novelty, they served them and worshipped them; and this was the sin which God had said, in the second commandment, he would visit upon their children, who kept up these idolatrous usages, because they received them by tradition from their fathers, 1 Pet. 1:18. (2.) That God reckoned with them for their own iniquities (Jer. 16:12): "You have made your fathers' sin your own, and have become obnoxious to the punishment which in their days was deferred, for you have done worse than your fathers." If they had made a good use of their fathers' reprieve, and had been led by the patience of God to repentance, they would have fared the better for it and the judgment would have been prevented, the reprieve turned into a national pardon; but, making an ill use of it, and being hardened by it in their sins, they fared the worse for it, and, the reprieve having expired, an addition was made to the sentence and it was executed with the more severity. They were more impudent and obstinate in sin than their fathers, walked every one after the imagination of his own heart, made that their guide and rule and were resolved to follow that, on purpose that they might not hearken to God and his prophets. They designedly suffered their own lusts and passions to be noisy, that they might drown the voice of their consciences. No wonder then that God has taken up this resolution concerning them (Jer. 16:13): "I will cast you out of this land, this land of light, this valley of vision. Since you will not hearken to me, you shall not hear me; you shall be hurried away, not into a neighbouring country which you have formerly had some acquaintance and correspondence with, but into a far country, a land that you know not, neither you nor your fathers, in which you have no interest, nor can expect to meet with any comfortable society, to be an allay to your misery." Justly were those banished into a strange land who doted upon strange gods, which neither they nor their fathers knew, Deut. 32:17. Two things would make their case there very miserable, and both of them relate to the soul, the better part; the greatest calamities of their captivity were those which affected that and debarred that from its bliss. [1.] "It is the happiness of the soul to be employed in the service of God; but there shall you serve other gods day and night; that is, you shall be in continual temptation to serve them and perhaps compelled to do it by your cruel task-masters; and, when you are forced to worship idols, you will be as sick of such worship as ever you were fond of it when it was forbidden you by your godly kings." See how God often makes men's sin their punishment, and fills the backslider in heart with his own ways. "You shall have no public worship at all but the worship of idols, and then you will think with regret how you slighted the worship of the true God." [2.] "It is the happiness of the soul to have some tokens of the lovingkindness of God, but you shall go to a strange land, where I will not show you favour." If they had had God's favour, that would have made even the land of their captivity a pleasant land; but, if they lie under his wrath, the yoke of their oppression will be intolerable to them.

A FATHER is kissing his beard goodbye after going the whole of 2012 without
And Dave Phillips, 27, can't wait to give his baby daughter a peck on the
cheek after getting rid of his facial fuzz.
The warehouse worker took hair growing to the next level after taking part in
last year's Movember.
Dave is now preparing to have his first shave in a year and to give
14-week-old Lyla her first smooth kiss from Daddy.
The father-of-two admitted he's "in a right old state" as his face
has been itching for months.
He said: "I shaved everything off last New Year's Eve and now I'm looking
pretty different. It is coming off on New Year's Day.
"I'm in a right old state at the moment but I am managing to get myself
through. I'm not overly in a good place but I'm still happy.
"Everyone has been taking the mick but I've just had to get on with it. It is
just a beard at the end of the day and my hair is about seven inches long.
But the dad admitted that he is desperate to give his newborn baby and also
his fiancée Lauren a kiss.
He said: "Lauren had our second child in September and I haven't been able to
kiss my newborn baby. That's one of the first things I will do when I shave.
"Lauren has been great but I haven't had many kisses off her recently.
"As I work at a warehouse I see people from all over the country and have got
loads of good reactions off them."
Dave, from Wotton-under-Edge, Glos, has raised more than £1,000 for the armed
forces charity Help For Heroes.
He added: "I decided to do it for Help
For Heroes as I have friends and family in the forces and I used to be
in the Territorial Army.
"Last year I did Movember but I thought it was too easy so I decided to go a
step further and go a whole year without shaving or cutting my hair.
"I don't know the people being helped by Help For Heroes but I wanted to give
something back to them. I appreciate the sacrifice they have made for us at
the end of the day."

Publisher Taking Away Santa's Pipe – Mr. Claus is No Longer A Smoker
As if Christmas isn't a pain in the ass already, now Santa Claus can't even enjoy a smoke? The Publisher of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas', has omitted Santa's pipe from the classic Christmas tale. So much for the most wonderful time of the year!
According to the National Post, spokesperson for Grafton and Scratch publishing, Pamela McColl, claims that parents have been tearing out the smoking related pages out of the books. Really? McColl goes on to say parents have had to console crying kids that believe Santa will die from smoking. My parents must of really hated me, because they smoked cigarettes as they read me the story of the 'smoking Santa'!
So if you are keeping up on the rules of Christmas, here is a revised list:
- Don't say Merry Christmas EVER!
- Say "Happy Holidays". God forbid you offend anyone.
- Woops, don't say "God".
- Don't offer Santa a pipe for Christ sake.
- Woops, don't say "Christ"!
Damn, that is a lot to keep track of. I must say before everyone freaks, YES, I know smoking kills. But when is the censorship going to end? If Santa can't smoke, why the hell are kids across the world leaving cookies out for his fat ass?

A New Start for the Czech Green Party
This also became the content of Green Party Chairman Ondřej Liška's first post-election remarks to the Czech public. In his post-election speech on live television, he stated that an era had ended for the Greens but not for green policies as such, and he called upon those who believe in the values of green policies to support the Greens by joining the party and thereby helping it to get started again. An unexpected wave of several hundred applications from new members followed, which partially transformed the party's membership.
Through its failure in the elections, the party got itself into a very difficult situation: it lost both its ability to influence policy from within parliament as well as state financial support for its activities [1]. The programme to "restart the Greens" thus concerns not only rethinking the party's political strategy and modernising its organisational structures, but must also go hand in hand with a fundamental structural change in its working methods and the financing of its activities.
The programme to restart the Czech Greens was announced by Chairman Ondřej Liška in the summer of 2010. The plan was then approved by the membership with his re-election as chairman at the party conference in Prague in December 2010. It is a strategic vision consisting of several interconnected project modules which we describe in greater detail below.
Fundraising and financing party activities
The first step taken by the party leadership in the new situation had to be to adapt financial exigencies to the changed conditions. The team staffing the main office was halved, and management positions were cut in the regions. But a new approach to financing operational expenses was introduced nonetheless. A code of ethics for fundraising was elaborated which set rules of transparent partnership with corporate donors, making it possible to reduce expenses on a range of services. For the long term, however, the most important change was the Green Cafés project. Thanks to an agreement with a corporate partner, the party's main office was relocated to new premises in the city's historic centre which even include part of the building's parterre. This, in turn, was obtained from the party under a partnership agreement by a company operating a green café on the site. A space in the centre of Prague was thus created where all Greens could meet, and where working sessions and public meetings could be held. Moreover, 10% of the café's revenues are donated to the Green Party for its operational expenses.
One of the most important goals of the party leadership is to secure financing for the party's basic operations which is sustainable in the long term. To this end, the executive board prepared a new fundraising strategy based on obtaining funds from the following sources:
1. small perennial donors contributing each month with a standing order of CZK 100 or more (expected involvement mainly among Green Party members and sympathisers – the sustainability threshold will be reached with the involvement of 600 regular donors, and the present level is roughly one-third of this),
2. one-off donations from individuals,
3. financial gifts from companies under the code of ethical partnership,
4. services from companies at a reduced price under the code of ethical partnership.
For purposes of gradually fulfilling the strategy, a fundraising team was set up, led by the party's first ever professional fundraiser. Based on the experience of large environmental organisations, a professional fundraising database was introduced to manage donors, and all current and former party members were solicited with a request to make regular donations. Appeals to other groups of potential donors will follow.
Today, the Green Party is undoubtedly a pioneer in ethical financing of political parties in the Czech Republic with a focus on small individual donors. By executing a strategy based on regular donors, high ethical standards of partnership with companies and transparent accounting, the Greens are showing the other political parties a practical path to clean and sustainable political financing. In parallel, the Green Party has elaborated and presented a draft law on political party financing, which contains 18 principles. The Green Party has complied voluntarily with those concerning political parties themselves. The party's financing is thus completely in accordance with its policy programme, and is also a direct manifestation of green policy itself.
Modernisation of statutes and changes in intra-party communication
In 2011, the party also worked on modernising its statutes. The executive board set up a working group which initiated a broad intra-party discussion. This process culminated in December 2011 at the party conference in Pardubice where the Green Party adopted amended statutes.
The main theme of most of the changes was: "What we advocate externally, we also observe internally." And thus the Green Party became the first Czech political party whose statutes specify a quota for the representation of both genders, including the highest party offices (the office of the 1st deputy chairman/chairwoman must always be occupied by a representative of the opposite gender to that of the chairman/chairwoman). The procedure for calling an intra-party referendum was also simplified, the office of intra-party ombudsman was established, and a system of proportional representation was introduced for elections to party bodies at the national and regional levels.
As part of the project to restart the Greens, the executive board strengthened communication inside the party. It now communicates more frequently with the chairs of regional organisations on what is needed to develop the organisation in the regions and on preparations for regional elections. A supporting document entitled "List of Activities and Steps Important for Effective Preparation for Regional Elections", including a pre-election coalition agreement, was prepared for the regional leadership. In order to educate party management and candidates, trainings will be held on how to successfully run a low-cost election campaign.
In order to strengthen and professionalise intra-party communication, the party leadership managed to procure professional multi-purpose database software through a sponsor. After initial testing and customisation for the Green Party's needs, this internet application will make it possible to share information and to administer party activities in a simple, inexpensive and effective manner, including profiles of individual members, party discussion forums and the like.
Support for education and sharing of experience
One of the key projects to restart the Greens is the Green Academy. The Green Party needs to strengthen the personal development of its politicians and candidates for public office in the long term. In recent years, the party has neglected intra-party education and sharing of political experience. The experience of local representatives who have already advocated the values of green policies as Green Party members at the local level in several election cycles remains practically untapped, as has the potential of Green politicians who gained valuable experience in ministerial or other high official offices. This is why this education project is a high priority for the party leadership.
Formally, the Green Academy is a project of the Institute for Active Citizenship, a civic association, which was established at the beginning of 2011 by several experienced Green Party politicians. The goal of the Green Academy is to offer educational programmes on specialist topics as well as on political skills to anyone interested in green policies. Thus in 2012, thanks to cooperation with the Heinrich Böll Foundation, the Green Academy will offer, for example:
educational seminars on current political issues (renewable energy, economic tools for creating a green economy, etc.)
workshops for exchanging experience among communal politicians (how to make use of the opposition representative's powers of oversight, how to monitor the fairness of public contracts in municipalities, etc.),
practical trainings for future Green female politicians (rhetorical skills, working with the media, etc.),
seminars on how to run a successful election campaign for regional party managers and politicians, and
a series of public debates on current political issues in Prague and Brno.
The Green Wikipedia project also supports the sharing of experience among Green politicians. Its goal is to prepare and share a public database of green know-how and argumentation on specialist political issues. Database content will be provided mainly by the expert section of the Green Party and by successful local representatives.
Strengthening the programme debate
The executive board views strengthening the programme discussion as an important aspect of reviving the party, and so it will organise programme conferences more frequently on selected current political issues. In October 2011, an introductory conference was held with the goal of evaluating the Green Party's term in government and parliament between 2006 and 2010, which was followed by a discussion about the party's position on the current government's reform agenda. Subsequent conferences will address education reform and a solution to the eurozone crisis.
Another important aspect of the Green Party restart was a reform of the party's expert sections. The goal of this reform was to open up a larger space for the participation of Green Party members and sympathisers in the elaboration of expert opinions, thereby strengthening identification among the membership with the party's current policies. Accordingly, the process for becoming a member of an expert section was streamlined, and the rules of debate were changed in order to promote the search for consensus opinions and to protect minority viewpoints. Sections' competencies in developing the programme discussion within the Green Party were expanded as well.
New approach to public action and media work
The main goal of the Green Party restart is to restore public support for green policies, and thus another essential component of the programme must be a change in the Greens' style of public action. The basis of the new strategy is quick reaction to current events, and systematic monitoring of, and commenting on, priority issues. Quick reactions in combination with the Greens' active involvement in the public debate and even specific actions have been realised in recent months, e.g. on issues of renewable energy, the infiltration of right-wing extremism into public administration, addressing social unrest in the Šluknov region, the protection of a valuable natural environment in Šumava National Park, support for initiatives against homophobia, and others.
The executive board has also endeavoured to profile the Green Party on key issues connected with our programme in an effort to address the public on a longer-term basis and to achieve real changes in state policies. For example, the Greens opened the issue of financing political parties and election campaigns. They introduced their own draft law and have been advocating persistently for making the financing of Czech politics more transparent. They communicate this issue in the media as well as through political partners. Another long-term priority is foreign policy, where we are advocating an active approach on the part of the Czech Republic in defending human rights, and unequivocal support for the Czech Republic's active participation in the European integration project.
In addition to current political issues, the Greens' executive board has also decided to develop a new way of working with the public based on edification, long-term argumentation, profiling of positive issues and debunking certain established myths about green policies. It has thus created working groups which are preparing the basis for long-term public campaigns on two issues:
modern energy based on maximum use of renewable sources, a departure from nuclear energy, and massive investment in raising the efficiency of energy use;
clean air achieved primarily through limiting emissions from industry and transportation, supporting the smart economy, and creating green jobs.
Active involvement of members in party activities
Since May 2010, a total of 130 new members have joined the Green Party – almost one-tenth of the total membership. The party leadership is thus all the more responsible for setting up mechanisms which will persuade members to become actively involved in party activities.
A new tool along these lines is the Green Job Bourse. On www.zelenaburzaprace.cz, there are opportunities for volunteer work, short-term jobs, and in future also offers of regular employment involving the party's work; all the party's organisational units can post offers on the site. The reform of expert sections will also make it easier for members to become involved in party activities.
The programme to restart the Green Party has been operating for twenty months. Certain projects are already running at full speed, while others are still in the preparatory phase. However, It has already been clearly demonstrated that if the party is to continually grow roots on the Czech political scene, there is no other way than through a thorough modernisation and by establishing sustainable mechanisms for financing activities and providing education for the continual personal and political growth of individual members.
[1] Only those parties which receive at least 3% of votes in elections to the Chamber of Deputies are entitled to a regular annual state contribution for the activity of political parties. In the elections of May 2010, the Green Party received only 2.44% of votes.

The book on Kubiak after five seasons now shows 36 victories, 41 losses, one winning record, no playoff appearances and a current run of six losses over seven games after a promising 4-2 start. The 2010 season has been particularly aggravating, given some of the confounding ways the team has lost, thanks in large part to the worst pass defense in the league, and in a division that's been surprisingly weak. http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/12/14/...ubiaks-fate/?icid=nfl|pos1|gary-kubiak-future Did Donald Trump buy the Texans?

Pima County Superior Court Judge Richard Fields and Clerk of the Court Patti Noland have joined Peter Herberg's list.
Herberg represents Pamela Phillips, who is scheduled to go to trial in January on charges alleging she hired a hitman to kill her former husband, Gary Triano, in November 1996.
A couple of months ago, Herberg asked Judge Fields to throw prosecutor Shawn Jensvold and the rest of the Pima County Attorney's Office off the case because Jensvold started a consulting business and created a web page for it while working for the PCAO.
Jensvold resigned from the PCAO and went into private practice and Judge Fields scheduled a hearing for July 18 to discuss throwing the rest of the PCAO off the case.
Judge Fields got on Herberg's bad side when he quashed three subpoenas Herberg had issued for that hearing. The subpoenas ordered Jensvold and two other attorneys to bring materials with them pertaining to the consulting business and Jensvold's employment with the PCAO.
Herberg complains in court documents that Judge Fields quashed the subpoenas by signing a proposed order submitted by prosecutor Bill McCollum, an order Herberg didn't see until after it was signed.
The defense attorney objects to the language in the order and the fact he didn't get a chance to provide any input on it.
This morning, Judge Fields was scheduled to give Herberg an opportunity to complain in person about the quashing of the subpoenas, but the hearing was postponed.
It was postponed because McCollum said if Herberg allowed Judge Fields to hear the issue, he would be waiving any right to later file a motion asking for Judge Fields to be thrown off the case.
The defense attorney told Judge Fields he does, indeed, plan to ask for a new judge.
Judge Fields told Herberg that before he did that, he might want to consider the fact that the higher ups in the public defender's office, legal defender's office, office of court appointed counsel and PCAO all met awhile back and agreed to enact a rule that says subpoenas CAN NOT be issued by attorneys who are seeking discovery (evidence/information) — unless they've received prior approval of the judge on the case.
Judge Fields pointed out he quashed some other subpoenas the same day he quashed Herberg's for just that reason.
Herberg told Judge Fields to expect his recusal motion soon.
In a previous court filing, Herberg said he wanted Judge Fields to voluntarily take himself off the case. He said the Judge has already made up his mind about taking the PCAO off the case and lists various decisions the judge has recently made as evidence of it.
The quashed warrant, Judge Fields' denial of a motion that would've prevented Jensvold from destroying evidence pertaining to his website and an uncalendared hearing announcing Jensvold's resignation are all evidence of the judge's bias, Herberg complains.
Herberg is convinced Phillips will be denied a fair trial because of the media attention the case has gotten and Jensvold's actions.
According to court documents, Herberg wants to know if Jensvold was investigated by the PCAO, if Jensvold took a polygraph and if Jensvold's company was approved by the PCAO.
He is also demanding to know:
* If Triano's family helped Jensvold and McCollum get the 2010 Prosecutor of the Year Award.
* If Triano's family helped retired Det. Jim Gamber get a job at Raytheon.
* Who contributed to Barbara LaWall's past election campaigns.
* Any information that may show a conflict-of-interest between Clerk of the Court Patti Noland, who once worked for Triano, and Phillips.
In a recent filing, Herberg wrote, "Since it is now clear that undersigned counsel has no valid reason to trust the activities of the prosecutor's office and that half of the prosecution team has been operating as a biased, not neutral, for-profit, not public and interested, not disinterested prosecutor, the suspicions and doubts of defense counsel are valid and reasonable."
In another filing, Herberg alleges "The 'story' regarding Mr. Jensvold's departure is in a constant state of change, flux and obscurity."
Replacing Jensvold with another attorney "is the professional equivalent of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic," Herberg wrote in one of his motions.
Herberg also wants Noland removed from the case because she once worked for Triano and is "responsible for the summoning of the prospective jurors" who will decide Phillips' fate.
Herberg had a deadline of June 30 to tell Judge Fields what motions he anticipates filing before the trial. The defense attorney listed more than two dozen motions, but warned he would not allow the state to limit him to just those he enumerated.
On the list — "Unknown motions based on continuing defense investigation regarding conflicts of interest regarding the PCAO, Pima County Sheriff's Department, plaintiffs' attorneys, official victims, possible corrupt local government officials and criminal elements (organized or individual.)
He also listed motions pertaining to barring cameras, changing venue and "competency concerns."

My son is a sophomore in high school and we are beginning to look at his post-high school life. He goes to a terrific high school. My daughter also attended the same school and was well prepared for her college experience. She often remarks on how much better prepared she was then her fellow freshman. I am very please with the choice of high school for my children.
My son's passions are computers, math and gaming (computer, cards, board). So we are looking at schools that offer computer science, programming, game development and mathematics. Most of the schools require that he have some computer science and programming course work in high schools if he wishes to be admitted to these majors. The trouble is his school does not offer these courses; looking at the other schools in the area this is true for most of them. So now we are looking at him taking a course at the community college, attending a summer program or maybe an online course. Having this experience is important on two levels (1) most importantly he needs the exposure to see if this is something he really wants to pursue and (2) to meet some admission requirements.
In my exploration I found this interesting info graphic by code.org. This shows that the need for those in computer science greatly out ways the number of students entering the field. In my son's case lack of high school opportunity may make it a bit more difficult to enter the field in colleges. This may deter others from entering the field.
When I was in high schools in the late 70's early 80's computers (the room size variety) were all the rage and my high school had a computer science course. We created punch cards, used a real phone modem to complete simple programs. Looking at old high school course offerings there seems to have been more computer science offerings then now. Almost every thing from your toaster to Smartphone contains a computer and runs on programming. It seems a much-needed skill set yet these courses are no longer offered in high schools. Computer science courses and business course have lost ground; there may be a number of reasons for this shrinking budgets, NCLB, and mandatory testing. Nonetheless there are fewer of them around.
If one of the roles of schools is to prepare students for the job market and if we believe education is essential to a vibrant economy then why do we not teach computer science and business courses in high school? One of the underlying themes of the common core is to promote critical thinking, and analysis; there is also a push for STEM (is it really just a push for SM). Computer programming would support both of these aims. In this day when schools are competing for students would not offering courses that prepare students for economy of the future be a selling point?
Does your school offer computer science courses?

Author and scholar Howard Zinn passed away yesterday, leaving behind a virtual library of political criticism and history work.
Zinn (pictured, via) earned his history Ph.D. at Columbia University and advised the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) at Spelman College. One of his most famous students was Alice Walker. In 1980, Zinn published the bestselling book, A People's History of the United States, a textbook "chronicling American history from the bottom up." It became an influential text for many students, and is still included on many college reading lists.
Here's a quote from a 2008 interview about war, a fitting way to remember this scholar: "[T]here's a tendency to believe that what has happened in the past must inevitably continue to happen in the present and future. In other words, since the history of humankind, there's been a history of repeated wars, almost continuous warfare. It's very hard for people to accept the fact that this might come to an end. Indeed, Tuberculosis was a scourge all through the history of humankind and it was hard for people to accept the fact that it actually might be done away with. The history of warfare likewise has made it difficult for people to accept the fact that there could be a break with history and war could be abolished."

With the Paris Air Show as a backdrop, Rockwell Collins launched HeliSure, a line of situational awareness products for helicopters operating in increasingly congested and hazard-filled airspace. HeliSure delivers sensor data in real time through an intuitive user interface that features 3-D visualization.
The first two products of the HeliSure line are the helicopter synthetic vision system (H-SVS) and helicopter terrain awareness and warning system (H-Taws), which have been selected by AgustaWestland for the AW149, AW189, AW101 and AW169.
Dan Toy, principal marketing manager for Rockwell Collins's airborne marketing group, told AIN, "Initially our HeliSure technologies will be available only on new helicopters as part of the aircraft's original avionics equipment, and as such pricing for the systems is not available today. As OEM equipment, HeliSure will be certified by the aircraft's manufacturer under the aircraft's type certificate or a supplemental type certificate [their choice] by either the EASA or the FAA depending on which is the certifying agency. We expect that ultimately the OEMs will obtain certification from both certification agencies, as well as others worldwide when needed."
Many of the HeliSure applications are based on previously certified products such as the Rockwell Collins helicopter synthetic vision system.

I've had Silicone breast implants for two years, unfortunately as shown in the MRI, one is ruptured and the other one is leaking. I already saw a plastic surgeon and I'm planning on having them explanted; but I can't do it until in three months. I'm also developing rashes in different parts of my body. The itching comes and goes. It seems like an allergic reaction. Could the allergy be possibly related to the leaking implants?
Allergy Due to Ruptured Silicone Breast Implants?
Doctor Answers 9
Allergy related to silicone implants?
Unlikely to be caused by an allergy to implants
As the other doctors have mentioned, it would be very unlikely for your implants to be causing this. There have been a multitude of very well designed scientific studies investigating this and none have been able to show a connection between implants and allergies.
However, because rashes are not part of our expertise, I would suggest you consult with a dermatologist or allergist to help you. They will be better equipped to look at your rash and help treat it.
Allergy to silicone breast implants
Hi there-
Provided your original surgery was performed using implants manufactured to the high standards we are accustomed to in the US, you can rest easy- silicone is an inert material that will not lead to allergic or immune reactions. Your symptoms must be being caused by something else in your environment.
There is now an overwhelming body of evidence proving silicone filled implants to be safe and free of problems such as immune or auto-immune reactions, diseases, allergies, and causing an increased risk of breast cancer.
Hope that helps-

Allergy and silicone
Sorry about your implants! I do not think that the allergy you are describing and the implant leakage are related. This was something that came up in the early 90''s when gel implants were initially removed from the market. This was found not be related.
Highly unlikely silicone allergy
If you had the implants made, and the surgery performed, in the United States with a reputable plastic surgeons, then allergy to silicone gel is impossible. However, implants made in other countries under uncertain circumstances could potentially have impurities. Or the surgery made have used some substance that you are allergic to such as talc or iodine but this allergy would do not be dependent on the rupture of the implant. Silicone implants can come with saline combination that might be inflated with allergenic medications like antibiotics or iodine. Overall, it is extremely unlikely that your ruptured implants are the cause of your allergies.
There is no such thing as allergy to silicone.
Hi! Your story is very unusual. In NYC, we have never seen a patient with BOTH implants leaking at 2 years. These implants need to be looked at very closely after they are removed.
But I can assure you that your rashes have nothing to do with your implants. There is a huge amount of scientific research that shows that silicone does not cause any illnesses
Allergy with possible silicone gel implants
Generally the risk of allergies to silicone implants remains exceptionally low and unsupported in the medical allergy.
Having said that, there are many people who claim that they suffer from allergy like symptoms after placement of breast implants. Some attribute this to potential agents used in the manufacturing process.
Silicone Impants and Allergy?
As far as the rash goes, it is very unlikely that it is your silicone implants. Possible, yes anything is possible, but very unlikely.

Unlikely due to silicone
It is unusual that current generation silicone gel implants would both be leaking this early in your having them. I have been working with silicone implants for over 12 years and I have not found a patient of mine who had a leaking implant. We, as plastic surgeons, have the scientific literature and experience to go by and there is no literature to support a woman would have an allergic reaction to the silicone implants. It sounds as though they need to be replaced if there is evidence on the MRI that they are leaking. In the meantime you may consult with an allergist to see what they can determine as to what is causing your rashes. Best of luck.

Umami is B.S.
Umami is bullshit. Everytime I see these new Kikkoman ads about umami, I laugh. Nothing was worse than that umami challenge on next iron chef either. I bet ajinomoto or kikkoman bank rolled that episode LOL. Look, Umami is freakin' MSG! Yes, MSG and "Umami" occur naturally, but umami is basically an ad agency attempt at repackaging MSG to sell to you. If you don't like MSG, stop blabbering about umami. Its a marketing ploy.

Learn something new every day!ReplyDelete
and that is why msg is awesome!ReplyDelete
I've been telling all my friends this since umami showed up on the scene a year or two ago and no one believes me!ReplyDelete
Most people don't realize that MSG is hidden in a lot of foods - it goes by the name of autolyzed yeast extract, which contains glutamate...the G in MSG. That's why Doritos are so effing tasty - tons of autolyzed yeast extract!
BTW, I haven't been to Baohaus yet but I'm planning a visit before the month is over. Thanks for having a vegetarian version on the menu :)
- AnonymousMarch 8, 2010 at 9:02 PM
speak on it. ajinomoto and kikkoman are putting some serious money into it; very amusing.ReplyDelete
Dope! are you vegetarian Roopa? MSG to me is "cheating". Anyone can throw ajinomoto on a dish and give it a "beefy" taste. And you pay for it. It overpowers food, masks more delicate flavors, and really just makes everything taste like chinese food haha.ReplyDelete
when i asked my japanese friend what umami tastes like he laughed at me lolol jokes on usReplyDelete
and the new salmonella recall? "hydrolized vegetable protein"? peep:ReplyDelete
hahahaha, dummies.
I dunno if MSG= Umami, or Umami = MSG.ReplyDelete
MSG gives food an umami boost. I totally agree on your theory of MSG and it's uses, but your not comparing apples to apples.
Umami is adjective that describes taste, something like savory....MSG helps sh!tty food TASTE savory.
- AnonymousSeptember 28, 2016 at 9:28 PM
Bottom line. If umami can stand alone without saltiness, sweetness, sourness or bitterness then it is indeed a taste. If not, then it's a Japanese hoax.ReplyDelete

One of the latest gimmicks to try and get people to try new services are $1 trial offers. In addition to the low first month, many are offering gift cards of various amounts ($20 is common) as an incentive to sign up. Since I'm in Japan, I can't participate in them, but there are a growing number of members on my main site that are using them to get the free gift cards. Flash has put together a wonderful post (long, but detailed) on these $1 trial offers offers, what precautions you need to be aware of and how to use them fully to your advantage. She details the following areas:
Be alert for scams Use an incentive site link to increase your rewards Evaluate the Trial Membership Before Signing up Membership Fees Reaping the Rewards Maximizing your Returns Other types of Trial Offers Cancellation Terms, Phone Numbers, and Addresses Just In Time Cancellation
In addition, she lists a number of the current offers that are available which add up to over $200 in gift cards and certificate vouchers. She notes that if you are going to be doing these and you don't want to pay a lot, "You need to be fairly well organized, and take several precautions as you go along." Well worth the read if you like to take advantage of these types of things.

Mom-to-be Holly Madison – who is nine months pregnant – has a plan to recover after giving birth.
"This might sound gross, but I'm totally planning on having my placenta turned into pills I can take after giving birth," the 33-year-old former Playboy model wrote on her blog on Wednesday.
Adding, "I heard it helps women recover faster and I want to recover as quickly as I can! Have any other moms out there done this?"
According to Us Weekly, January Jones also had her placenta turned into pills (which some say helps nourish new moms and also wards off postpartum depression) after she welcomed her son Xander in September 2011.
Besides sharing her post-birth plans, Holly gave her fans a look inside her baby daughter's new room.
"Making progress painting my nursery . . . I wonder if I will finish in time!" she wrote, posting a photo of a massive mural.
The "Girls Next Door" and "Holly's World" star, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella, is due March 5.

Green islands
Anyone strolling through an oak or beech forest in the northern hemisphere autumn (fall) is sure to find them—among the countless brown leaves scattered on the ground, some are still green (very green, in fact) in one portion (see photo).
If you look closely, you discover on this leaf a whitish spot, or else a winding trail. This is evidence that the larva of a tiny leaf-mining moth is living inside the leaf.
Leaf-mining species also occur among beetles and flies.
Why don't the infested leaves turn completely brown like the rest? The amazing thing is that the larva secretes a hormone that keeps the surrounding area of the leaf fresh.
The cells of these 'green islands' still keep on photosynthesizing—making food from sunlight and carbon dioxide in the air. And the tiny larvae continue to live on the carbohydrates formed by this process, even after the leaf itself has dropped to the ground and died.
Only some time later do these larvae leave the leaf and enter the ground to pupate.
This presents some riddles for those who adhere to evolution:
Which were the first caterpillars to stumble on the idea of no longer gnawing the leaves from the outside, but crawling into their insides?
How could the larvae that were thus transformed know that their tree would shortly shed its leaves, so they could prepare for that event?
What would have happened if these mining caterpillars had failed, at their very first attempt, to synthesize the right hormone? It is only being able to secrete this hormone which guarantees that they can keep on living on the forest floor.
And what should we make of the fact that fossils of such leaf miners are already found in the 'geologically oldest' fossil leaves of the upper Cretaceous?
This one [see photo, arrow shows trail of leaf-mining moth] is from the Dakota sandstone in Kansas, USA, which is regarded as being from the alleged 'age of the dinosaurs.'
At most, evolutionists will not be able to produce more than some flimsy 'just-so' story. It makes much more sense to believe that these obvious provisions by the Creator for His creatures were programmed into the insects from the beginning.

The evolution of man is often imagined to be a progression of knuckle-dragging simian creatures evolving/morphing into a fine upstanding bipedal man.
But virtually nothing is said of the symbiotic evolution of the flora food-chain of which those simians must have eaten in order to survive and procreate.
It is very hard to imagine a similar progression of pond slimes morphing into grasses on land and then into gigantic eucalyptus trees. The dearth of evidence supporting the imagined evolution of the great diversity of plant life that exists on earth today seems never to be questioned.

Hurricane Politics
Meanwhile, Alberto forced Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis to cancel a property insurance-related campaign event in the Panhandle scheduled for today. Rival Democrat Rod Smith had to miss a Bill Clinton fundraiser in Orlando Monday, and Smith's campaign manager audibly groaned when asked about the e-mail supporters had sent inviting Tampa Bay residents to meet Smith in Ybor City next week: "Hurricane Rod returns to Tampa!"
Get ready for the trickiest dance of the political season - the hurricane two-step. It's the tough new reality of campaigning in Florida, where too-busy hurricane seasons are becoming the norm. Campaign appearances and fundraising can come to a sudden halt and candidates tread a fine line to avoid being seen as exploiting a natural disaster. More here.

Last weekend, Notre Dame saw their football team go down while the hoops squad picked up a commitment. The same thing happened this weekend as a commitment from Patrick Connaughton came shortly before the Irish lost in an overtime thriller at Michigan State.
A 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Danvers (Mass.)St. John's Prep, Connaughton blew up in Orlando at the AAU Nationals.
Everywhere he turned, the Irish were there to see him and it paid off for Mike Brey's group.
"When I got there it wasn't like, 'Wow, I'm coming here. I really love it,' which was kind of weird for me," Connaughton told Jake Brown of IrishIllustrated. "It kind of made me second guess myself. It kind of made me think I should open up all my other options. Maybe I should call the other schools that offered me to say I want to come and see it. It did take a week for me to really realize it.
"Then it came down to Notre Dame was the best decision ... it just took awhile."
A star pitcher as well, Connaughton is expected to play both basketball and baseball at Notre Dame.

Music Review: Donna Vivino - 'Beautiful Dreamer'
Published 10:00 pm, Sunday, January 5, 2014
A bit of Broadway, a little cabaret, and some palate-cleansing jazz. Put it all together and you've got the debut album of Donna Vivino, Beautiful Dreamer. The singer, who made her Broadway debut as the Young Cosette in the original cast production Les Miserables at all of eight years of age, has blossomed into a stylish songstress who, if her performance on this album is any indication, can sell a song with her sensitive phrasing and subtle musicality without a constant resort to the ubiquitous diva belt.
Backed up brilliantly by a quartet featuring her father Jerry on flute, alto flute, tenor sax and clarinet, Mitchel Forman, who did the arrangements, on piano and keyboards, Kevin Axt on both upright bass and acoustic bass guitar, and Ray Brinker on drums and percussion, she works her way through 13 tunes from Broadway and the Great American Songbook, with an outlier or two thrown in for good measure, making her own personal statement with each.
Vivino takes an old standby like "Over the Rainbow," and if she doesn't quite give it the complete overhaul, a la Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, the singer transforms it via a cool jazz approach that gives the song a lively new groove. She takes her voice to where the song is.

There is a real longing in her vocal at the beginning of "My Romance," and a strength to her "I Wish You Love." Her "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" resonates with the sultriness of a torch song, while her vocal on Randy Newman's "When She Loved Me" is nigh unto angelic.
What must be her signature song, "Castle on a Cloud," is here, but it is "Castle on a Cloud" as you've not heard it before. The voice has the sweetness of an eight-year-old, but not much of the innocence. The jazz rhythms of Forman's arrangement give it a whole new feel. Her version of The Carpenters' "Rainy Days and Mondays" is a tad sexier than the original, but when she sings Antonio Carlos Jobim's "How Insensitive," she almost seems to be channeling Astrud Gilberto.
"Never Never Land" is a bit treacly for my taste, although there is a swinging piano solo between the vocals that moves it in a better direction for a few bars. On the other hand, "Beautiful Dreamer," the ancient Stephen Foster confection which could come across as even more sentimental and sappy, gets a simple bare bones treatment that lends it some truly honest emotion. The arrangement on this one is credited to Jerry Vivino.
Judging by her work on Beautiful Dreamer, Donna Vivino, who sings with the kind of honest emotion that is bound to captivate a live audience, is no less captivating in recording. She is one beautiful dreamer to be reckoned with.
