BOSTON, April 4. -- The end of the week finds the money market quiet, with rates quite firm. Some surprise is occasioned by the fact that the tone is no easier. Rates are expected to rule lower within the next fortnight, but no tendency is noted in that direction as yet. Call loans, 5@6 per cent.

Crispy Fried Chicken — almost unreasonably cheap
Vietnamese-owned Louisiana style
Ian Anderson 12:48 p.m., Sept. 26
In case selling a timeshare itself isn't a hazardous enough proposition, the California Department of Real Estate has reported that a new scam is emerging surrounding popular resort properties in Baja California and elsewhere in Mexico, according to a recent post at HispanicBusiness.
In the scheme, owners of Mexican timeshares are contacted by individuals posing as real estate agents, either claiming to have a buyer or renter for the unit, or offering to put the owner's share in a property up for sale. Owners are then asked to pay an upfront fee (those collected have reportedly ranged from $3,250 to a whopping $85,000), but once the cash is collected no further action is taken.
Consumers are further taken in by scammers obtaining and operating under the names and license numbers of actual real estate brokers in the U.S., and have gone as far as setting up fake phone numbers that are answered by individuals purporting to represent the legitimate brokerages.
In a fraud alert issued by the Department, officials warn that asking for any fees up-front should serve as a "red flag," in addition to basic cautions that should always be taken when dealing with unsolicited e-mails.
For those who have been victimized, they made a first big mistake, and that was buying a Mexican timeshare in the first place. As "gringos" they have no rights in that screwed-up country, which means that if it ever became necessary to enforce their "contracts" they would have had no help at all. The judicial system there would give them a big shrug of the shoulders.
So, then when some of them realize what they have done, or when they actually need to sell the dubious rights, they find out that there's about no secondary market for such timeshares. Ah, gee! What shall I do now? Oh, hey, there's a company that will sell your units for you. Oh, wonderful. I am saved. Just put some more good money after the bad, an' we'll help you out. Just a few hundred or thousand bucks, and we'll get your dollars back across the border and into your pocket.
"No further action is taken?" I'm shocked, shocked to learn that people are willing and eager to steal from those who already were taken to the cleaners when they bought. If you want to drop your bucks south of the border, make sure you know exactly what you are doing, and if possible look and talk as if you are Mexican. That way, if you need to get some enforcement, the cops and lawyers there may think you are one of them.

Uganda SafarisWinston Churchill called Uganda "The pearl of Africa." The country has recovered greatly from the disastrous decade of Idi Amin and is seen as a beacon of prosperity and growth in Africa. As a consequence of its lower profile, you will see some of the most spectacularly diverse and least visited national parks in Africa.

Washington: Her image has been plastered on banners in Tahrir Square, crossed out with a blood-red X or distorted and smeared with insults. She is too cozy with Egypt's deposed president and the Muslim Brotherhood, the signs say, and should leave the country.
Anne W. Patterson, a press-shy career diplomat who has been the US ambassador in Cairo since 2011, suddenly finds herself a target in a dangerous political upheaval, a symbol for angry young Egyptians of America's role in their country's affairs.
With the Egyptian military ousting President Mohammed Morsi on Wednesday, Patterson will have to navigate a perilous course between Morsi's opponents and his enraged Islamist supporters, both of whom have grievances with the United States. That she has become such a lightning rod for US policy speaks to the legacy of US involvement in Egypt and to the comparatively low level of attention Egypt has received from the Obama administration since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak 2 1/2 years ago - at least until this week's turmoil.
As her bosses in Washington struggle to exert even modest influence over the events in Cairo, Patterson, 63, has been portrayed as a sinister force by pro- and anti-government protesters alike: a defender of the status quo as well as a troublemaker who schemes with the opposition.
"She's being lambasted because she's the face of America," said Vali Nasr, a former State Department official who worked with Patterson when she was ambassador to Pakistan. "But the fact that she's being excoriated instead of the president only represents the fact that the rest of the American administration is absent."
In his first reaction to Morsi's ouster, Obama warned of the dangers of violence and tried to steer Egypt's military toward a prompt resumption of democratic rule. But the flurry of White House meetings and phone calls Wednesday served to underscore the lack of leverage the United States has over Egypt, once a crucial strategic ally in the Middle East but lately just another headache.
Patterson's problems started on June 18 when she was invited, at a time of mushrooming demonstrations against Morsi's government, to speak to an audience in Cairo about the US relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. It was, she said, a welcome chance to "set the record straight."
While the US supported Egypt's democratic development, it still had to deal with those in power, Patterson said, adding, "I don't think the elected nature of this government is seriously in doubt."
Moreover, she said she was "deeply skeptical" that "street action will produce better results than elections."
Even as Patterson sought to distance the United States from the Muslim Brotherhood, those words marked her as an enemy of the crowds in Tahrir Square, reviving memories of Obama's early reluctance to cut loose Mubarak, a longtime US ally.
"She manipulates people and secretly governs the country," Mona Mohammed, 52, a bank employee said of Patterson at an anti-government rally.
"The ambassador is part of a conspiracy against Egypt and its people," Mohammed added, clutching a poster with a caricature of Patterson and the slogan "Hayzaboon, Go Home." (Hayzaboon is Arabic for ogre.)
At a pro-Morsi demonstration across town, Mohammed Amr-Alla, a professor at Al-Azhar University, said: "The ambassador meets with the opposition and supports them. She should not interfere; she needs to watch from a distance."
Both of these perspective belie the reality that the United State has far less influence in Egypt than it did a generation ago.
A Patterson spokeswoman at the US Embassy in Cairo said she was not available for comment. On Wednesday, hours after Morsi's ouster, the State Department ordered the evacuation of all nonessential personnel from the embassy.
Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday that Patterson "does her best work in the most challenging places."
In a statement, he described her as candid, tough and committed to democratic change in Egypt.
In a 40-year career, Patterson's assignments have taken her from the guerrilla-infested jungles of Colombia to the shadowy drone wars of Pakistan, where she gained experience dealing with a weak civilian government and a restive military with a penchant for coups.
In Islamabad, colleagues said, Patterson cultivated ties to Pakistani military and intelligence officials, as well as to the Pentagon and CIA. She became a strong proponent of the CIA's covert drone strikes, as well as of US training of Pakistani troops in counterterrorism operations.
With a son who was then serving in the military in Afghanistan, "she really understood the military dimension," said Col. Barry Shapiro, a retired Special Forces officer who advised Patterson on military affairs. "We were all in this together."
Soft-spoken and even shy, Patterson has nevertheless built a network of contacts in Washington through regular meetings with senators like John McCain, R-Ariz.; military commanders like Gen. David H. Petraeus; and administration heavyweights like Leon E. Panetta, who served as CIA director and the secretary of defense.
Patterson, who has been widely expected to be nominated as assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs, arrived in Egypt four months after Mubarak's ouster. She worked closely with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which had seized power, to develop a timetable for elections and met regularly with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood after he was elected president.
She pushed for an early visit to Cairo by Hillary Rodham Clinton, then the secretary of state, which happened, and a return visit by Morsi to the White House, which did not.
Her ties on Capitol Hill positioned her to help steer $1.3 billion in military aid through Congress. Lawmakers on Wednesday threatened to cut off the aid, however, saying that it could not lawfully go to a country that had overthrown its government.
With the White House preoccupied by the war in Syria, several officials said, Patterson took on a large role in dealing with the Egyptian government. Some critics said she did not speak out against troubling early moves by Morsi, like packing his Cabinet with allies.
"Over the last six months, you've seen Ambassador Patterson articulate more clearly concerns about Egypt's trajectory," said Tamara Cofman Wittes, a former State Department official who is director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution.
But Wittes said Patterson's recent remarks about the Muslim Brotherhood were poorly timed, given the political tensions.
"They were seen as an unbalanced and ill-timed American intervention into Egyptian domestic politics," she said.
Patterson also came under fire from some Republicans after the attack on the US diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Her embassy, which also came under attack, initially issued a statement apologizing for a derogatory video about the Prophet Muhammad.
As Patterson faces the fraught days ahead, some former colleagues said her reputation for being unflappable was as important as her long experience.
"If you had to pick someone for a time like this," said Cameron Munter, who succeeded Patterson as ambassador to Pakistan, "you'd be hard pressed to find a better choice."

The identity of a man found dead on New Year's Day has been released, but law enforcement officials are remaining mum on the details surrounding what may have happened to him.
Daniel Toohey, 41, of Santa Barbara, was found dead after emergency personnel responded to a hillside near Micheltorena and San Pascual streets about 6:45 p.m. on Jan. 1.
The man's name and age were confirmed Tuesday by Sgt. Mark Williams of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.
Williams said the case is still under investigation by the Sheriff's Department as well as the Santa Barbara Police Department, and could not release any more information.
Last week, Santa Barbara police Sgt. Riley Harwood told Noozhawk that Toohey had a connection to a Westside address but may have been homeless.
Sgt. Jill Beecher told Noozhawk then "there was nothing real suspicious" about the situation, but that a detective was called in to rule out foul play.
Toohey's remains were turned over to the Santa Barbara County Coroner's Office for autopsy, Beecher said.

VietNamNet Bridge – The precious things are believed to be invaluable because they are thousands of years old.
The fossil elephant tusk
The four pieces of tusk Son has weigh 24 kilos in total and 1.26 meters in length. Scientists believe that this is just the top of the original tusk. According to the Vietnam Archaeology Institute, the ivory fossil dates back to 19,450 years BC. Son said the tusk is original also because there are tiny colorful particles on it.
Domestic and foreign businessmen have contacted Son, asking to buy the tusk.
"A foreign businessman offered to buy it at $2 million. However, I refused to sell it, because there are many things I still need to do with it," Son said.
The man retains the tusk because he wants to learn more about it and try to find the remaining parts of it.
The fossil tree in Thanh Hoa
The owner of the special tree is Hoang Van Ngoc in Ba Thuoc district of the central province of Thanh Hoa. The tree was found in a mountain cave in 1999-2000. The tree was originally very big. However, as people had to saw it to make it portable, it broke into several parts. The broken parts were then conjoined to form up a fully constituted tree.
The owner of the tree said one businessman wanted to buy the tree for $3 million, but he refused the deal.
"I don't know what the money would bring to me and my family members. But I am sure there is no other special tree in Vietnam." he explained.
However, Ngoc feels worried when retaining the tree. He feared that his life and his family members' lives would be dangerous because evildoers may try every possible means to appropriate the precious thing.
The fossil section of a tree trunk
It had the length of 1.2 meters and biggest diameter of 50 cm. The stem was milky colored, covered by the grey brown color. There were many black borders along the trunk. It was as hard and shiny as stone.
This fossilized tree height of 1.2 m, a diameter of about 50 cm seat to most, milky-colored stems, gray-brown outside, there are black borders along the trunk, such as kicking the ball hard.
The fossil teeth of mammoths
"At that time, $10,000 was worth of a fortune. A friend of mine tried to advise against buying it, but I liked it so much that I decided to have it at any cost," he said.
Chinh does not intend to sell the precious thing and refuses to have it analyzed, but his house's door always keeps open to receive visitors.

First off I want to apologize to Breaking Glass Pictures, the fine folks who released The Fields on the viewing public last week. I usually try my best to get all my reviews done prior to release day, but this one somehow slipped through the cracks and I missed it. Guess I've been watching too much NHL Playoffs (Go Devils!!). I was taught better late than never, so lets get too it.
The Fields is set in rural Pennsylvania during the year 1973, when the televisions of America were littered with coverage of the Charles Manson trial. Young Steven is extremely interested in the mass murderer, and can't stop watching whenever possible. On top of that, he bears witness to true life violence when he walks in on his father holding a shotgun to his mother's head. Thankfully nothing happens, and Steven is shipped out to his grandparents farm while mom and dad work out their problems. While on the farm Steven is given one simple rule to follow, "Stay out of the cornfield." Being a former adolescent myself I know that's easier said than done. Before long, Steven is lost in the maize maze. That's when things begin to get a tad strange. Steven begins to hear voices coming from the cornfield, the family dog mysteriously disappears, and visitors begin showing up at all hours of the night. Who, or what is haunting this young man, and what is it gonna take to stop it?
The Fields is a very effective thriller. It uses it's strongest assets, the setting and cast, to full advantage. There aren't too many places that can make a person feel more isolated than being in the middle of a cornfield, and directors Tom Materra and David Mazzoni use their locations perfectly. Along the same lines, the farmhouse and the dairy where Steven and his grandfather visit also feel like they were pulled directly out of 1973.
Like I mentioned above, the cast in The Fields is as close to perfection as you will get, especially for an independently produced picture. Cloris Leachman and Bev Appleton as the grandparents are absolutely phenomenal. Cloris was the spot on tough love grandmother. As usual she was a tad on the vulgar side to add a little needed comedy to the movie, but you could really feel her love for the young boy. Add in the fact that she shared her love for scary movies with the boy (they are shown watching both Night of the Living Dead and Carnival of Souls) and I am a little envious that she wasn't my grandmother. On the flip side you have Bev the grandfather and he's as sweet on the boy as can be. He just oozed love for the child, especially when things start to pick up and he goes into protection mode. Fantastic casting!
I also wanna give young Joshua Ormond some credit as well for playing Steven. He is an unknown actor, but did a great job as well. For you Tara Reid fans, she does receive top billing on the movie, but is only here to bookend the movie. I'm not saying she does a bad job (she's actually quite believable as Steven's mother) but don't rush out to buy it just for her. You may be slightly disappointed.
The only real issue I had with The Fields was the finale. The entire movie was a slow paced thriller building the suspense, but everything seemed to wrap up within mere minutes. I was a bit underwhelmed when all was said and done. That's not to say that there aren't others who will disagree. On a side note, the movie is based on a true story so perhaps that's just the way it all came to a halt. If so, I can't fault the producers for trying to keep it accurate. As a viewer I was dissatisfied.
If you haven't been giving Breaking Glass Pictures any attention lately, perhaps now is the time. Just about everything they've been releasing has been above average or better, and when you're looking at low budget movies thats all you can ask for. I can't help but look forward to what is next, as I am rarely disappointed in what I am about to watch. The Fields, while not the perfect movie, was no exception as it was a creepy thriller right up to the ending.

Danks stellar in series finale
Danks stellar in series finale
At least on the South Side of Chicago. At least for one afternoon.
"Well, we expected to win a game before the season was over," said White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, drawing a laugh from the media, after watching his team take a tautly played, 2-1 victory over the Indians in 2 hours, 27 minutes to avoid a season-opening three-game sweep at Progressive Field.
"Yeah, because you want to get a win before the end of the season," added White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski in a slightly sarcastic tone, when asked if Thursday afternoon's victory was an important one. "It was a well-pitched game by both teams, really."
Thursday's victory went to Octavio Dotel, who retired Casey Blake on a fly ball to center field off of his slider with two outs, runners on second and third and the game tied at one in the seventh. It was Blake's three-run, eighth-inning double off of a poorly located fastball that made a loser of Dotel in the season opener.
But the unofficial victory, if such a statistic exists, belongs to John Danks. The second-year veteran was as dominant as he's been since reaching the Majors in a game where the White Sox needed their starter to last a while.
Through five innings, Danks kept a Cleveland offense that had scored 17 runs over the first two games of this series hitless. He watched his little piece of history evaporate via Blake's leadoff single in the sixth. The southpaw worked 6 2/3 innings, with one run allowed on two hits, but he deserved a better fate. Cleveland scored its one run in the seventh on a one-out walk to Travis Hafner and Ryan Garko's double that barely eluded Jermaine Dye's reach in right.
Regardless of the personal outcome, Danks was satisfied with his 2008 debut. His teammates felt the same way.
"Danks was as good as I've seen him in the two years he's been here," Pierzynski said.
"He didn't really surprise me," added White Sox third baseman Joe Crede of Danks, who threw 55 of his 87 pitches for strikes, striking out two and walking two. "I've seen him throw this well before in the past. John is a great pitcher, and I think a lot of people are going to expect a lot of great things from him because he's so good."
Jake Westbrook matched Danks against the White Sox offense, limiting the visitors to six hits over 7 1/3 innings while walking one and fanning three. Two of those hits cleared the fences, one long ball coming from Juan Uribe leading off the sixth and the second -- which proved to be the game-winner -- delivered by Crede to open the eighth.
It was Crede's first home run since he went deep against Jason Marquis on May 19, 2007, at Wrigley Field. Thursday's 381-foot blast down the left-field line simply added to the third baseman's legend as the organization's top hitter in the clutch.
"That was very gratifying to go out and help your team win in a situation like it was today," Crede said. "There weren't many hits spread around."
"Every time Crede comes in with the game on the line, it seems like he always does something," Guillen said. "One thing about Crede, when he come up in those situations, he never panics. He does his stuff, and that's why he has so much success with the game on the line."
After Dotel wriggled out of trouble set up in part by a Nick Swisher error in the seventh -- when Swisher and Dye collided on Franklin Gutierrez's fly ball -- Scott Linebrink cruised through a perfect eighth on 17 pitches. Bobby Jenks did the same in the ninth, on 11 pitches, picking up his first save and the 88th of his career.
Watching Jenks keep hitters off balance, as he did to Jhonny Peralta, Hafner and Garko on Thursday, has become a common expectation for the White Sox. Seeing that same effective job executed in the eighth was a feeling that has escaped them for a while.
"Finally, we get someone out in the eighth," Guillen said. "It [seems like it has] been two years since any team [hasn't scored] on us in the eighth inning. Everything worked perfect for us today."
"There were certainly some jitters coming into it, being with a new team, in new ballparks, different hitters," Linebrink said. "Hopefully, this is the first of many."
Guillen's crew now moves on to Comerica Park, where they'll face a reeling Detroit team, both in the win-loss column and in regard to keeping healthy bodies on the field. The White Sox will hope to produce the same sort of textbook effort as Thursday, with the addition of a little more offense.
Even without a personal victory for his eighth straight start dating back to July 16, 2007, Danks couldn't argue with the ultimate results. Even without a victory in their first two games, the White Sox leave Cleveland with a sense of satisfaction.
"I told Mark [Buehrle] that I'll take 10 of 10 no-decisions as long as there are no losses in there," Danks said. "The wins will come if I keep pitching well."
"To start off losing your first two, I think there was already a little bit of panic starting to set in," Linebrink added. "I know all these guys in here have confidence in their ability, and we're going to get our wins. But yeah, it was nice to get this one out of the way."

#Malawi's President Joyce Banda alleges 'massive fraud'
The president of #Malawi, Joyce #Banda, has complained of massive fraud in this week's presidential and parliamentary elections. She said the rigging was so blatant that even a small child could see it. Mrs Banda's, who's running for re-election, said partial results showed that some candidates had won with more votes than the number of people registered at polling stations.
She spoke to #FocusonAfrica's Veronique Edwards.
- over 3 years ago
Its not tru what mrs Joice saying. The malawians speeks for all dirty things she did. And she is lying that other parties are doing the same way she thinks. Remind her for cash gate, jet stealing, promising paradise but give people a big hell. She is scared of her own stupidity. We malawians, we can't toralet with those nonses. Its over for her. Imagine, she lose at her own home. How about other places. She must go and play whatever she think. Malawians spoke by their votes. No rigging, and she must go. We never chose her. She came on power after the death of Bingu. Shame to her

CHICAGO -- Early yesterday, fire destroyed a historic North Side house designed by the noted architect Louis Sullivan. It was the third of his buildings to have been brought down by flames this year in Chicago.
No one was inside the house, and no injuries were reported, said a Fire Department spokesman, Kevin MacGregor.
The wood-frame building had been undergoing renovation, he said.
The home, known as the George Harvey House, was designed by Sullivan and his architectural partner, Dankmar Adler. It was completed in 1888, according to Preservation Chicago.
In January, the Pilgrim Baptist Church, on the city's South Side, was ruined by a fire. It had been designed as a synagogue by Sullivan and Adler, and had been completed in 1891. The church had many features that had made the collaborators famous, including vaulted ceilings and terra-cotta ornamental designs.
In October, fire destroyed the Dexter Building, a 119-year-old structure designed by Adler & Sullivan in the South Loop.
Sullivan, a native of Boston, was an influential figure in the development of American
In Largo, Md., yesterday, an early morning fire in a high-rise apartment building forced 75 tenants to flee and injured three people. Investigators said they believe the fire had been set by the former boyfriend of one of the occupants.
Police arrested the suspect, Eric Lamont Partlow, 38, who they said attacked and sexually assaulted his former girlfriend and set the fire, which damaged 25 apartments. The woman was treated at a hospital and released. Partlow has been charged with rape and assault, and was being held.

A New Aristotle Reader
In a single volume that will be of service to philosophy students of all levels and to their teachers, this reader provides modern, accurate translations of the texts necessary for a careful study of most aspects of Aristotle's philosophy. In selecting the texts Professor J. L. Ackrill has drawn on his broad experience of teaching graduate classes, and his choice reflects issues of current philosophical interest as well as the perennial themes. Only recent translations which achieve a high level of accuracy have been chosen; the aim is to place the Greekless reader, as nearly as possible, in the position of a reader of Greek. As an aid to study, Professor Ackrill supplies a valuable guide to the key topics covered. The guide gives references to the works or passages contained in the reader, and indication of their interrelations, and current bibliography.
"Ackrill will probably be the text of choice for undergraduate courses on Aristotle."--Religious Studies Review

WASHINGTON – Congressional Republicans from Tennessee reacted skeptically Thursday to President Barack Obama's offer of an administrative fix for Americans wanting to keep their health insurance another year instead of shopping for new plans under the Affordable Care Act.
House Republicans from the state said they were instead supporting a legislative fix offered by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. They rejected arguments of some Democrats that the Upton bill would allow the industry to continue offering policies that don't cover pre-existing conditions or meet other goals of the 2010 health care reform law.
Obama went on national television to say he is asking state insurance commissions and insurance companies to let customers keep existing plans for another year. It was a reaction to a rollout of the Affordable Care Act marked by website failures and millions of Americans receiving cancellation notices regarding current policies.
Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander said the matter was too important to depend on the president's proposed administrative fix.
"The 5 million Americans – including 82,000 Tennesseans – losing their health care plans know that, after too many broken promises from this administration, the details matter. The president should send his proposal to Congress to consider and give Americans the certainty of law over rhetoric," he said in a statement.
Rep. Diane Black, R-Gallatin, said people have lost all trust in the president on the issue.
"President Obama has zero credibility when it comes to protecting Americans' existing health care plans," she said.
"Even though the White House knew back in 2010 that Obamacare would result in millions of Americans having their insurance policies canceled, the president spent years falsely promising the American people that this would not be the case. Sadly, the president's sudden change of heart appears to be the result of sagging poll numbers and shifting political winds."
But Black said she could support Upton's proposal for a legislative fix, which may receive a House vote Friday.
"The American people should be able to choose the policies they want and deserve better than to be serially misled by the President," she said.
Similarly, Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Jasper, said of the Upton bill: "This isn't a partisan political issue; it is about making sure my constituents can keep their health coverage that satisfies their needs."
As far Obama's proposal, he said: "I do not have much faith in anything the president has to say after he deliberately misled the American people regarding his law. Further, I believe that President Obama's actions are being driven by a desire to deflect blame rather than actually making sure hardworking Americans can keep their plans."
Rep. Phil Roe, R-Johnson City, said he too supported the Upton bill and that it was wrong to say it would allow substandard plans to continue.
"To call these plans flawed or substandard is a smack in the face to every American family that has spent time researching their options and picking a health care plan that meets their needs," Roe said.
Rep. John Duncan Jr., R-Knoxville, added: "The President's announcement today shows just how unprepared they were, and shows that the law should be repealed. The healthcare.gov website has already cost taxpayers $600 million and no one knows how much more it will take to fix it. It really is just a political move by the president because he has been embarrassed by what has happened so far and the polling numbers of Democratic candidates have dropped drastically all over the country."

MONROE TWP. — The return of the Tri-County Conference Boys Tennis Tournament after a one-year hiatus is an exciting development for the players, but one that so far has seen its challenges.
Inclement weather cut short the opening rounds on Saturday and stopped play again during singles Round of 16/quarterfinal and doubles semifinal action on Tuesday when the tournament was scheduled to be concluded.
View a gallery from Tuesday's Tri-County Conference Boys Tennis Tournament action.
The field was already missing several players — including Delsea's entire team— because the opening round conflicted with the SATs on Saturday.
Still, when the rain clouds held off long enough, there was some exciting play including Woodstown's first doubles team of Trevor Hoopes and Mike Maley defeating Kingsway's top tandem of Steve Gannon and William Grendisa, 6-7, 6-0, 7-6 (4).
"We turned on the jets (in the second set) and turned them back off, I guess," said Hoopes. "We went to a third set at their place, we beat them there too, but they're great players. We always play well against them."
Said Maley: "We're used to playing third sets, that's nothing new, but we don't usually play tiebreakers. They're always suspenseful. It was definitely close. You just do what you have to do."
The Wolverines were three games into the opening set of the semifinal against Williamstown's No. 1 when rain halted play. The winning team will meet Clearview's No. 1 in the final, scheduled for today.
"I didn't mind (the postponement)," said Hoopes. "The Kingsway match was tough on me, so I was OK with it. (Williamstown) is good, but we beat them early in the year, so I'm confident."
Glassboro No. 1 singles Lucas Barousse defeated Schalick No. 2 Brent Greco, 6-2, 6-3, and was about to take the court to face Pitman No. 1 Zac Castagna in a quarterfinal when the persistent rain brought a halt to the day. Like Hoopes, he wasn't terribly upset to have to wait to continue play.
"I'm ready for (today), to be fresh," said Barousse.
Barousse reached the Gloucester County Times Tournament quarterfinals before being ousted in three sets by No. 2 seed Derek Alfinito of Washington Township. Castagna finished third at the Times Tournament.
"Playing Washington Township's No. 1 and playing three sets boosted my confidence," said Barousse. "I think I can make it to the semis here, maybe the finals."
Schalick's Jack Peterson was the lone singles player to reach the semifinals, though Clearview's Andrew Weiss was leading when play was called. Woodstown's Nick Simmermon was a game away from the quarterfinals, where he would meet Cumberland's Blake Boswell.
In its prior format, the Tri-County Conference Tournament was split into divisions and three singles and doubles championships were awarded. After not holding the tournament last year, it returned this year with all conference players competing for one crown.
"It's a fun tournament, a good time," said Barousse. "I like seeing the competition."
Added Maley: "It's great coming out here and playing all these people. It's so competitive all year, and it's nice to come here and have some fun."

McLaren and the Silverfern/Kiwi
This topic contains 13 replies, has 9 voices, and was last updated by Icthyes 6 years, 10 months ago.
4th November 2010, 14:28 at 2:28 pm #128331
Now, I'm an expat brit and I'm in NZ at the moment. One of my best mates here own a race team and a number of men over the age of 50 chirp on about Amon and McLaren and the other chap who's name I've forgotten. I watched a 2 hr documentary on them by way of an initial rite.
Point is. Why don't McLaren have some sort of reference to their home country of origin. It's a Kiwi team historically, and Bruce McLaren (died aged 32), hired a lot of Kiwi mechanics. Ok Ron Dennis made it uber brit, but.. can't they stick a kiwi on it somewhere, to remember where they came from. To remind others where they came from. To make Kiwi's feel a bit special because one of the greatest teams of all time, was born from the Kiwi spirit.
I wish they would, like I wished that I found a golden ticket to Willy Wonky's factory.
it's 3.30 am here, so I may be talking rubbish, but you get the gist of it don't you? It's only right and proper and respectful, and kind.4th November 2010, 14:43 at 2:43 pm #150094
Red AndyParticipant
Is the "other chap" Denny Hulme by any chance? Y'know, the only one who actually won a world championship. ;)
Whether McLaren acknowledge their history is up to them. Do we even know if Bruce would want to be associated with the spying, lying, bath tap-coloured team that now bears his name?4th November 2010, 14:56 at 2:56 pm #150095
Very good point. They are so 'we are the British team' even I forgot that the team has Kiwi DNA.4th November 2010, 15:09 at 3:09 pm #150096
I guess the "other chap" was actually Teddy Mayer who was American, a very good friend of Bruce McLaren and took over the team after his death. McLaren lost any kiwi reference when Marlboro became the main sponsor in 1974. Until then, the sidepods were still orange with a white "Yardley" livery. The real question is rather to know whether Renault is still a "French" team, Red Bull an "Austrian" team or Mercedes a "German team". All the teams are pretty much multinational nowadays and only Williams and Ferrari can be considered more "british" or "italian".4th November 2010, 15:27 at 3:27 pm #150097
They do mate, they have a stylised kiwi in their logos. Old and new:
Old: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ca/McLaren_logo_%28original%29.png
New: http://www.liedecke.dk/mclaren_logo.jpg
I think it could and maybe should be clearer but I guess its all in the name.4th November 2010, 15:54 at 3:54 pm #150098
Maybe because McLaren have little to do with the team Bruce set up. It was taken over 30 years ago and even then was a Kiwi team in few respects. It's like saying Red Bull should have the Stewart tartan on them.4th November 2010, 16:06 at 4:06 pm #150099
Looks more like an boomerang to me and that's australian. The "original" Mc Laren team had a strong connection to the U.S., not only through Teddy Mayer but also his brother Timmy Mayer, Phil Hill and later on Peter Revson. The team was never based in New Zealand though its first races where in the Tasman Serie in 1964. So I am not too sure they could qualify as a "Kiwi team". Who remembers Brabham as an Australian team ?4th November 2010, 16:17 at 4:17 pm #150100
I think a little Kiwi somewhere wouldn't go amiss, but I think Brucy will just have to put up with the occasional quote and 169 victories, 146 pole positions, 12 WDC and 8 WCC in his name.
And Andy, step off, just no, abuse someone else's connection their founder.4th November 2010, 16:25 at 4:25 pm #150101
Ha ha! I've seen the Kiwi! At long last I understand the McLaren Logo! :-D4th November 2010, 21:38 at 9:38 pm #150102
That's the worst 'stylised kiwi', in the very long and colourful history of 'stylised kiwis'.
It's like saying Red Bull should have the Stewart tartan on them.
If the team was called 'Stewart Racing', and was taken over by the yanks, and it was called an American team with some kinda of 2 colour logo with the vaguest of references to a checked tartan, in the form of two parallel lines that cross each other at the end and look like they've been inspired by the bottom of a tiled swimming pool. If Stewart had died aged 32. If he had built the cars he was racing, and had driven them to victory. If he had dominated Cam-am, and astound people in F1. If he had hired Scottish Mechanics on the basis that they were Scottish, and therefore must know something about making Scottish racing cars. If his teammates / drivers were Scottish too, and the thing was a matter of pride to a small country that doesn't have much to shout about other than curling.
Then yeah, I'd expect some kind of recognisable though discreet actual reference to him to show respect.
If Senna set up a race team, people would be bouncing off the walls, ceilings and floors if they made the logo so ambiguous a new comer was to think it was a multimillion dollar flick of paint… They'd want to remember the pride it installed in them to be associated with that name
And, Icthyes, The logo is a 'speedy Kiwi' (accordingly to wikipedia and Ogammi [who sounds like his name is a Ode to his bad leg, sorry Ogamii, but it is at first glance, I'm sure it's a very respectable name]) so.. point so soundly null and void it was hardly worth the key presses, but you know. When you're on a roll, keep rolling. ( all in good spirits of course old chap, nothing personal )
Who's this joker?!? I've looked up McLaren's logo online and some seedy back water so and so has taken it upon himself, to flip the 'speedy kiwi' logo, nearly knock him over on his back and use him to sell his business wares. I bet he didn't know it was a 'speedy kiwi' or any other type of kiwi. It's now a slightly over balanced kiwi if anything.
If McLaren don't like people selling t-shirts with reference to them, I can't imagine they would love this guy..
.. it'll probably turn out to be his cousin, 5 times removed or something.
*breath* I need a whisky now. You there boy, Scribe, get me a Whisky, no rocks. Mucho Gracias.
Do we even know if Bruce would want to be associated with the spying, lying, bath tap-coloured team that now bears his name?
I'll go and ask his sister, I believe she runs the garage still where he grew up (home was above the garage). It's not far from me. I'm sure she would be proud of the company. The home he grew up in is now a museum to his memory and achievements.4th November 2010, 21:50 at 9:50 pm #150103

Relaxing Constraints as a Conservation Policy
Eco-entrepreneurs in developing countries are often subject to market or institutional constraints, e.g. via credit rationing or missing markets. Conservation interventions which relax constraints may be both cost-effective and poverty reducing. A simulation using data from an intervention in Madagascar to relax the technological constraints of forest honey production investigates this possibility. Cost-effectively achieving dual environment-development goals is shown to depend on the severity of constraints, relative prices and, importantly, the nature of technology. Success is more likely for technologies exhibiting close to constant returns to scale or high input complementarity. Forest honey does not meet these requirements, whereas sustainable forest management may well do. Ultimately, where market or institutional constraints are present, knowledge of the recipient technology is required for more informed, efficient and perhaps, more politically-acceptable conservation policy.

Writer's block, distractions, lack of energy, inspiration and goals can all make your day at the studio a drag. Here are 10 ways to stay on target.
10. Drink coffee. The first cup of Joe I ever drank was when I was 35 years old! Can you believe that? I always assumed it wasn't healthy so why start up with it? I flew to Malta from New York to perform a show and I was completely wiped out. The promoters of the event were waiting for in the lobby of the hotel. They were all sitting around drinking coffee. I really wanted to feel better so I ordered my first cup of coffee ever. First, to my surprise it tasted great. Next thing I knew I was awake and almost euphoric. I saw the light and my life has been forever improved. In the studio I find the best time to grab a hot one is right when your about start arranging. The five minutes to brew one up gives your ears a break and you get zapped with a mind boost right when you need it. Don't break from music making while you drink it. Sip and move those waveforms around the screen. It works!
9. Pet your pet. We've all seen the famous website Catsynth.com right? There's a reason all those felines are hanging in the studio. Somewhere between ten and fifteen tummy rubs your ears reset and are ready for vocal take two. Don't worry if your the type of singer that needs Auto-Tune because Felix loves you anyway!
8. Listen to something very different. Four hours into any mixing section and your brain starts to believe it's being exposed to a torture test of some sort. Stop and click iTunes open and then play the cheesiest, happiest song you can find. Besides realizing how much better any song you choose is better than the one your working on your brain will reward you with some new ideas.
7. Call your mother. Typically, phoning home lasts ten to fifteen minutes. Thats a perfect break time. Mommy's voice will remind you of a time before you even cared about micpre's. Whatever you do don't call an ex-girlfriend!
6. Get some fresh air. Studio air is dead, hot, electrified and stagnant. If there is a singer or band in the room then it's usually also smelly air. Take twenty minutes and hang your head out the window. Better yet walk around the block. If you take the band with you it may not be restfull and resetting so walk alone. One thing to note: If you leave people in your studio be sure you trust them.
5. Keep pushing forward without any break. All of the successfull producers I know have something in common. When the going gets tough in the studio they don't stop or take a break at all. The moment your most frustrated is the moment your greatest ideas will be appear.
4. Turn off IM and emails. Bling: you got spam. Ding: did you see this video of Hasselhof vomiting? Zap: Just saying hi. Kill it all. Turn it off. Take those IM and Mail application's icons out of your dock. There's a time for work and play and no matter what you tell yourself these are playtime accessories.
3. Try adding a new melody. It's easy to fall in love with the melody you start off with when producing a new song. However, chances are you can improve it or add variation. I repeatedly discover a big boost in excitement when making new notes work. Music theory is complex and magical so delve deep and you will be rewarded.
2. Dance. Studio work is sedentary work. While your imagining a nightclub of fans screaming as you yell back at them your actually just sitting in a room in front of a computer. Normally I would suggest a little exercise but your in a music studio right? Get onto iTunes and download someone's scary Disco iMix playlist and make an ass of yourself. Shake it hard because after a few 70s club hits you will feel better and make better music for the rest of the day. It's a fact.
1. Give yourself a goal. I used to get discouraged when I would go to the studio, start a song and then come home upset that it wasn't completely finished. I began to track what I was getting done per day in the studio and realized I was actually completing big tasks. For example, in one typical day I would pick create the beat, melody, chorus and start fleshing the verses out. Thats quite a lot and something to be pleased with. With that knowledge and continued self examination I now know it takes me about eleven full working days to complete a song. Now I set release dates with ease and this gives me a sense of continued purpose in the studio. Without any goals your simply lost in music and sequencing. Having a plan is the best inspiration of all.

I have a few brief questions about improving my appearance, thank you for your response :) 1. am I a good candidate for a lip lift? photos attached 2. my face appears harsh, protruding eyebrows (the lateral horns?) it may not be evident from these photos.

You are harsh on your self. with your complaints ypou will be a gold mine to an unethical person who would operate on any thing that passes by.
If by "prorudih=ng brow" you mean prominent supra orbital ridge, then this can be shaved through an incision in the hair line from ear to ear such procedure is used commonly to feminize the face. Hollow cheecks can be filled with fat and the strong jaw line from the picture seems a large asseter muscle . This can be softened by botox
Beautiful Face, San Diego
As Sophia Loren said, "Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful." My recommendation to you at this time is to consult with a first class make up artist, develop your style and become comfortable with it, and work with your hair. Besides these measures, keep at or close to your ideal body weight and remain physically fit. Control the stress in your life. Learn to work your femininity. Cosmetic surgery is an adjunctive measure, but in and of itself, despite the possibility of improved physical appearance, may not make you happy because you are already pretty. My opinion: Instead of picking yourself apart, fault by fault, focus on all of the good you have, maximize it, and if there are still issues that bother you, see a plastic surgeon (or several) near you to discuss.

The only thing I do for lip fullness is a dermal-fat graft transplant from the supra-pubic area to the lips. This is a transplant of you own tissue and the results are permanent not temporary. They are also very natural looking results. I invented and perfected this proceedure over 25 years ago with hundreds of happy patients. You can see examples of them at the website aventuraplasticsurgery .com. The only other choice is Juvederm filler enhancement to the lips but it is temporary.

just started invisalign treatment, when should i start seeing movement/ results? thanks in advance
When Will I See Invisalign Results?
Doctor Answers 5
Time to see results depends from patient to patient
It takes a while, you will feel the teeth moving during the process. However you'll see results in few months; it depends from one patient to another.
Some will see results faster, others will see results later...
Thank you,
Dr. Barba
Slowly but surely Invisalign does the job.
Good question Nate! Part of the beauty of Invisalign and Invisalign Teen is that the movements of teeth are very slow, but steady. With braces you get more rapid movement initially, but many times additional time is needed to change course or even reverse a movement that has occurred. With Invisalign you go essentially in a straight line from A to B with no 'round tripping' of teeth, which can occur with braces. There are many advantages to this and can even result in shorter treatment times with many cases of Invisalign. Treatment is greatly improved over the initial Invisalign of a decade ago.
When to look for movement with Invisalign
Slight movement (about one-half millmeter per month) will begin immediately, but it is so gradual, you may not notice much with the naked eye. Ask your dentist for a copy of the Before pictures to track the progress as you proceed. Enjoy your new smile.

Invisalign® movement is slow and steady
Early on in ortho treatment, the bone supporting the teeth is most affected and "softening", but very little tooth movement. Most of the time, orthodontic changes are noticeable in the second month, but with Invisalign® it may still be a while to notice. People with severely crooked teeth will notice sooner and seem more dramatic than people with minor issues.
A watched pot never boils
Invisalign moves teeth a half a millimeter each a month and only the teeth that were designated to move with that aligner will move. A half a millimeter is not very much. Surprisingly, my patients in Invisalign, when asked how it is progressing always say "great, I see movement". Hang in there. It will be over before you know it.

The versatile midfielder could miss the remainder of the 2013-14 campaign due to injury, but Germany remain hopeful he will be fit in time for the World Cup
The 26-year-old picked up the injury in Germany's 1-1 draw with Italy on Friday after a collision with Azzurri star Andrea Pirlo and was promptly forced to leave the pitch after 67 minutes.
Khedira visited the hospital for further examination and a series of tests have now revealed that he has suffered a torn ACL.
"Sami will have to undergo surgery. We hope that he will be healthy again at the start of the World Cup," Germany doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt told the official DFB website.
No exact details have been given about the length of Khedira's absence, but the midfielder is expected to be out of action for at least six months.
"This is a huge blow for Sami and the rest of the team. He's a real fighter, though, and always remains optimistic. That will help him," Germany coach Joachim Low commented.
"I am optimistic that he will be ready in time for the World Cup in Brazil."

NEW YORK - January 29, 2014 – Girls Inc. applauds President Barack Obama for his recognition of the economic instability experienced by too many women and girls in his 2014 State of the Union Address and his call to increase college access and end the gender wage gap.
In serving many girls who are first generation college students and some who are also first generation Americans, we understand the obstacles that can prevent even the hardest-working child from attending college. We also see how supporting them on their road to college helps secure a better future for them, their families, and their communities. We thank the President and First Lady Obama for their ground-breaking efforts to boost college accessibility as a pathway to economic security, especially for low-income youth and youth of color. Girls — and all American youth — deserve a fighting chance to realize their dreams and fulfill their potential as emerging leaders and innovators.
We also share President Obama's belief that women's success and that of our nation are undeniably linked. Yet, as referenced last night, the gender wage gap is still both an embarrassment and a significant barrier. Women constitute half of the U.S. workforce but earn just 77 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. For women of color, the gap is even greater: African American women earn 69 cents and Latina women 56 cents on average for every dollar earned by men.
For the girls we serve, two-thirds of whom are girls of color and 70 percent of whom live in families earning $30,000 or less a year, shrinking the gender wage gap and widening access to college dramatically increases their and their families' opportunity to achieve economic mobility and security. This is why we pledge to continue working for positive change at both the institutional level with government and corporate partners and the individual level.
Last night, President Obama called for a year of action. We join him and urge our government leaders to address these issues critical not only to women and girls, but all Americans and our collective, lasting strength as a nation.

CARROLL COUNTY – Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is increasing the speed limit on the Route 58 Bypass around Hillsville this month after engineering studies determined the bypass meets requirements for the higher speed.
New 65 miles per hour signs are expected to replace the old 55 miles per hour signs by Monday, May 6, weather permitting. According to VDOT, the change in speed limit affects about 3.4 miles of the bypass between its western interchange with 58 Business and .9 miles west of Freemont Road (Route 820).
VDOT examined road alignment, interchange spacing, design speed and crash history to determine whether the higher speed was acceptable.
VDOT coordinated with the Virginia State Police and Carroll County officials before the speed limit change was finalized.

Good point about no needin to resign dun if we get ai. And if we got ai and price or dc go down so what or starters can more than accomodate for the lack of point plus it'll jus make us work through hibbert more and maybe play a zone defense.
And on the wing situation. Have you guys forgotten we still have inferno for another year and lance can play spot minutes too. Plus were playing in the eastern conference and how far do you expect to go this year even without injuries I mean the only team currently we can beat in the playoffs is the hawks really maybe Orlando, if were lucky.
But you know what. What if we spend countless posts on iggy or whoever and we still have the same roster next year. We would look like idiots talking about iggy for the majority of the season and we don't get him. I'm jus saying. So my question is what do you guys think would be the likelihood that we actually try, and actually pull the trade off?
I would hope that we'd try..it's just plain stupid not to try.
btw, we don't need Dun, but I'd like him. He's a good fit for the team, IMO. So if he'll sign for cheap, I'd keep him around as our fourth wing.
I like Dahntay a lot. But I think Rush makes him completely expendable. I like having Dahntay around, but he makes a good cheerleader. Dun brings something different to the team. So like I said, if we got Iggy, our wing rotation would be
starters, Iggy danny
Backup, Dun and either Rush or PG (whichever we don't trade) With the latter getting a majority of the backup minutes.
I am watching the Philly/Celtics game and Andre Iguadola is looking good, lets make the trade today.
Some more Iguodala talk from Ric Bucher's chat:
Jason (Orlando)
What would it take to get Iggy in a Magic uni?? VC and Gortat?Ric Bucher (1:29 PM)
I heard Orlando explored that and offered Redick and Gortat. Vince and Gortat, I suspect, would get it done. Even though coaching Vince might cause Doug Collins to faint a half-dozen more times this season.On a side-note, who here would be willing to take a gamble on Brandon Roy if he became available?goyo. keizer, oregon [via mobile]
Can the Blazers trade for Andre igaduala "Iggy" trade away miller and pryzbilla & a first rounder? Or who can Portland get to improve?
Ric Bucher (1:48 PM)
Heard they offered Batum and Przybilla for Iguodala and Philly didn't bite. My sense is they'll move Roy before they move Miller.
If somehow we could turn Dunleavy and Ford into Iggy I'd have to do that. Adding Rush as a sweetner would that their 1st rounder unprotected though.
I'd be upset if we didn't try really hard to get him here. I don"t have cable this year, so no ESPN in the mornings. So, i have to ask, why would getting Brandon Roy be considered a gamble?
From what I've heard, nope. Not only is his knee bad, but I heard that there's no further surgery that can be done on it; it is what it is. I would only get him for cheap and to be a supporting member of the team, not a star.
This year he has knee problems and is at 16 points per game and on 39% shooting. He's also missed a few games, and it isn't getting better, as in December he's at 14 PPG, on 35% shooting.
And there's this:
The guard will miss the next two games with soreness in his left knee a knee that has grown worse and worse. Theres damage and deterioration, and two league sources with direct knowledge of the medical prognosis on Roy say his days as an NBA All-Star, a franchise player, are probably over.
Theres no real hope of it improving, one league source with direct knowledge of the medical prognosis told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday. Its just about trying to manage it now. Hes not going to be the franchise superstar that [Portland] thought he would be. This isnt something they consider fixable.
The Blazers have gathered multiple medical opinions on Roy, but theres been no clear consensus, no course of action. The scenarios are still wide open. The team could try another surgery. They could limit his minutes, his games, his back-to-back appearances. All of those things are being discussed and likely will be implemented sooner than later. They keep taking Roy to more doctors, but there remains one thing that no one can offer for the beleaguered left knee: a solution.
Another source privy to the discussions between Blazers management, Roy and the doctors, simply says: Its bad and its not getting better.
