Arthur David Waley
Article Free PassArthur David Waley, original name Arthur David Schloss (born Aug. 19, 1889, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, Eng.—died June 27, 1966, London), English sinologist whose outstanding translations of Chinese and Japanese literary classics into English had a profound effect on such modern poets as W.B. Yeats and Ezra Pound. (The family name was changed from Schloss to Waley, his mother's maiden name, at the outset of World War I.)
Educated at Rugby School and at King's College, Cambridge, Eng., Waley was assistant keeper in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum from 1913 to 1929 and lectured thereafter in the School of Oriental and African Studies, London.
Among his most outstanding and influential translations are 170 Chinese Poems (1918), Japanese Poems (1919), and the six-volume translation of The Tale of Genji (1925–33), by Murasaki Shikibu, which is one of the oldest novels extant in the world. This novel faithfully depicts aristocratic life in 11th-century Japan, as does a work by another court lady, which Waley translated as The Pillow-Book of Sei Shōnagon (1928). He also wrote on Oriental philosophy and translated and edited the Analects of Confucius (1938).
Waley's other works include The Nō Plays of Japan (1921), Introduction to the Study of Chinese Painting (1923), The Opium War Through Chinese Eyes (1958), and The Ballads and Stories from Tun-huang (1960).

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Seoul, South Korea — LG Electronics (LG) said it will offer next year a curved 105-inch Ultra HD LCD TV with a 21:9 aspect ratio.
The new super widescreen set, model 105UB9, was pre-announced by the parent company ahead of its planned unveiling at International CES in Las Vegas Jan. 7-10.
LG is calling the set -- "officially the largest curved TV ever made."
The 105UB9's screen is said to be cinematically proportioned to CinemaScope dimensions and will eliminate the need for black bars at the top of bottom of the frame when viewing such material.
The extra width also enables displaying text and data information on the side of the screen without blocking any of ongoing action.
Screen resolution exceeds 11 million pixels (5120-by-2160).
LG said new technology was developed to resolve a number of issues arising from curving such a large screen, such as maintaining structural integrity and delivering uniform color and brightness.
LG said that until now, OLED panels were preferred for curved displays due to their ability to generate their own light.
The company's LG Display unit overcame the challenge of uneven backlighting by refining its Thin Film Transistor (TFT) pixel circuit technology to prevent color leakage and to ensure a superior viewing experience from virtually any angle.
"LG Display has kept its dominant position in the display market with innovative and differentiated technologies," stated Yong-kee Hwang, LG Display's TV Business unit head and senior VP. "With a resolution of 11 million pixels, the 105-inch curved LCD panel is proof of our continued leadership in the next generation display market, offering exceptional world-class value to our customers."
"We're proud to reveal our 105-inch Curved Ultra HD TV at the world's largest technology event," said In-kyu Lee, LG Home Entertainment TV division head and VP, said: "Claiming the world's first and the world's largest titles, LG's 105UB9 employs cutting-edge technology to provide a truly unique viewing experience. We will continue to drive the next generation TV market and demonstrate that with LG, it's all possible."
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

2014-02-12 02:00 - "Other bands were crossing over back then, like D.R.I., CORROSION OF CONFORMITY and even the CRO-MAGS. We were all kind of doing what we were doing. We've always been leaders and not followers." – AGNOSTIC FRONT vocalist Roger Miret on their milestone release, »Cause for Alarm«.
And the same is true today for these genre leaders! Seminal NYC hardcore veterans AGNOSTIC FRONT, relive the making of their classic »Cause for Alarm« album in this month's issue of Decibel Magazine! The feature is part of the mag's Hall of Fame series, in which pivotal records in heavy music are revisited and dissected every month by the musicians that made them. Fans can purchase the issue at the following location: http://store.decibelmagazine.com/collections/back-issues/products/march-2014-113

The clip was directed by Samantha Astolfi and the band's very own guitarist, Joseph James. The song comes from AGNOSTIC FRONT's latest record, »My Life My Way«, which was released on March 22, 2011.
»My Life My Way« features 13 new powerful and anthemic songs laid down by Erik Rutan (MADBALL, GOATWHORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, etc.) at his Mana Recording Studio in Tampa, FL under the watchful guide of producer Freddy Cricien of MADBALL. The record was mastered by Alan Douches (NILE, MASTODON, etc.).

Partly, we discussed the crucial parts of the route where a runner might get lost.

Nice Article, Runner's World!
Yup, I agree.
To beat the Holiday's fattening season, a MILE a day is good enough.
…and that's exactly what I plan to do for December. Daily Run – no matter how short or how fast.
It's the streak of all streak! LOL
Last Month
Just last month…
I bagged the first place for the Team Cavite ESE 260km Octoberian Challenge.
The challenge is fun.
It is also to my advantage since I am training with high mileage for my big event next year.
Above image is just a peak of how the race progressed…
But A. DABULL came in 2nd while J. SOLEDAD came 3rd. Yes, somebody flew so high with a very high mileage!
All thanks to the generosity of the RD JC Igos who took patient time to tally everything and make update almost daily.
For November, I am still in the lead with 41.5 kms remaining as of the morning of November 12, 2013. October took me 3 weeks. For this month, we can never tell how the others will fare from today. I am just definite that by the 15th of November, I am already finished, again. A good record for my training.
All glory, honor, thanks and praise be to the Lord God Almighty!
Originally posted on Ordinary Ways:
But I like it a lot.
November has 4 weeks…and 2 days of Holidays to start with.
100 kms per week is doable and I have a BIG plan for this month.
I will also supplement my running with weights starting this month too…
that means I need more supplement for the body to cope up!
It's a plan.
…and I like it!
God bless this one!
Yes, I really thought of a 400-km mileage for November. It's my Birthday month too! I will turn 42.
Pwede na mag.marathon? !?
the micro of it all: (per week) 1 long run @ easy pace 1 hill repeat at least twice a month 1 long intervals or repetitions 1 tempo of no less than 30 minutes
Not Stagnant at All
I joined a challenge under Team Cavite ESE.
The challenge was a 260 km of mileage by end of October.
Who would have expected? That team's line-up is composed of a lot of running monsters! Yet, I prevailed.
Completed the challenge in 22 days.
All thanks and praise to God!
I felt so great I am so thankful!
(Now I am on my way to make it a 300++ kms by end of October)
September to Remember
For me
…it is the MONTH to always be glad for.
I was able to run my 2nd ultramarathon last September 1. It was a 50++ kms route, the Pagsanjan to Majayjay Ultra. Hard one but doable. Very hot day. Very rewarding finish line – in a resort! Worth mentioning too is my 1st Ultra of the year. The 50K Laguna to Quezon Ultra, starting at Sta. Cruz, Laguna and finishing at Lucban, Quezon. This proved a bit easier compared to my 2nd.
In this same month, I ran my very first Marathon – the CM42 Trail Marathon – which felt like a 60K road race. The route is hard already. The challenge was compounded by a typhoon. Flood and Mud added spice to the already spicy route. LOLS
Glad to have done both. Thankful to God for the gift of strength. Looking forward to November now…

Well, no.
I have been critical of him, yes, but just because I think he plays his role well as a #6 doesn't mean that I take back what I said about him in the past. He HAS had soft minutes, and he continues to get easier minutes compared to any other defenseman on the roster. He is put in a position to succeed, and I'm glad he's doing well. But there's not much more I'd expect from him.
And I sure as **** am not one of those people who think the Kings would "regret trading Martinez for a long time, just like when the Kings let Sydor and Boucher go."
YOOOOOOOU SUUUUUUUC............. oh not one of those?
Right now I would like to see Regehr sit in favor of Martinez with Mitchell paired with Voynov.
No way I would mess with the Doughty-Muzzin pairing at this time. Martinez is a good PM defenseman on the bottom pairing.
Hockey's original bad boy. The "Cowboy" Howie Young
Back to the bench.
If the Kings are ever going to make Martinez a player, these are the games he has to play. Even if he causes problems now, at least he could improve. The likes of Greene, Regehr and Mitchell are known quantities. Let them rest.
After the way Greene played last night, let's hope he stays healthy the rest of the way and is in the lineup every night. Greene should never be a healthy scratch.
Hockey's original bad boy. The "Cowboy" Howie Young
It would be a HUGE mistake to get rid of this guy. I hope Sutter is finally starting to realize that. We lose a ton of puck-moving ability when Greene and Regehr are out there. Mitchell has lost a step as well. I honestly think Martinez is one of our best puck moving defenseman. He is also really good at reading plays and knowing when to go on offense.

snowflowersister of toshiro241 chapter 13 . 3/15 hehe |
I am Telgar chapter 17 . 2/26/2013 Very good fanfiction. I enjoyed it a lot. Now just think if Unohana orders Nanao on bed rest because of too much stress. I am willing to bet that Nanao will be having more stress being away from the Eighth. Everyone in the Eighth will probably have two cups of sake. One cup for her health and one cup for the baby's health. Shunsui will then probably able to get one of those hideaway beds in the coach. So that way Nanao can come to the Eighth and work without leaving the bed. Shunsui could nap there and make sure that she does not get stress out. |
narutonarutolove chapter 17 . 2/23/2013 i have half a mind to cry! kinda sad this series is gonna end. it was amazing, and hilarious when Matsumoto dropped her basket with a shriek! |
narutonarutolove chapter 16 . 2/23/2013 ok i did NOT expect nanao to be pregnant... |
narutonarutolove chapter 9 . 2/22/2013 you should have said instead of Kyoraku chocking on a rice ball, he just found out he ran out of sake. |
idi chapter 17 . 8/9/2012 A good story, well worth the read! |
Last Thought chapter 16 . 5/5/2012 What a twist! I've never been so delighted by the surprise at the end of this chapter. A job well done! Squeeeeeeeee. |
Chisane Ritsuko chapter 1 . 4/27/2012 fun |
Folle chapter 17 . 12/11/2011 I think by chapter eight or nine I guessed, and chapter fifteen confirmed my guess as correct. (I won't mention it here so as not to spoil it for anyone else.) What a lovely story! You have Nanao and Shunsui down to an art form, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. One thing: whatever you used for divisions seems to have disappeared, probably because FFNet changed and messed up your formatting. (So annoying.) In any case, just thought I'd let you know in case you already didn't. |
The Glass Queen chapter 17 . 11/20/2011 I very much enjoyed reading your Shunsui/Nanao fanfics. :) |
Tarocchi chapter 1 . 8/1/2011 since ive already gushed about the other three stories in this series, i figured i had to finish it out with this one. :) love the way you tie everything together, bringing in elements from the entire series and wrapping them up in a beautiful package. your portrayal of the karakura characters is spot on-especially urahara. my favorite line is probably, "Yoruichi-san, why don't you show Ise-san to a spare room while I talk to the Kurosakis about something trivial?" that basically sums up kisuke's personality :) thanks so much for gifting your readers with a gem of a series. |
Starfire-028 chapter 17 . 6/6/2011 Wow. Just wow. I've just gone through and read all your fics in this little series, and I have to say I am thoroughly, completely, and incredibly impressed. You are an incredibly talented author, and I love the way you've written Shunsui and Nanao, as well as Rangiku and Hitsugaya who both play special roles in their own way. I also like how you've written both Okuni's role and her attitude; she's a very good OC in my book, something I tend not to see very often. I HOPE this isn't the last fanfic of this type you'll do. After reading Paying Up and now this, I'd like to see what happens to Hitsugaya and Rangiku's relationship (and of course, Shun and Nanao's). But if it is, I guess I'll just have to live with what you've done already. X3 You are now on my Alerts list as well as my Favorites list, and I look forward to seeing more of your work, no matter when it decides to make an appearance. |
Zutara0Makorra0shipper chapter 17 . 3/25/2011 Oh I love it! You write such beautiful stories _ Happy endings are so lovely, I'm all gooey inside _ Thank you for the amazing story. |

Legendz Sports solicited millions of illegal bets totaling more than $1 billion on sports and sporting events from gamblers in Oklahoma and other states, the federal government alleges.
Four of the 57 defendants, which include entities and individuals, are from Moore, one from Oklahoma City, one from Choctaw, one from Norman and one from Edmond, according to the indictment. Others are from Canada, Costa Rica, Belize, California, Texas, Florida, New Hampshire, Colorado, Missouri and Alabama. About 20 defendants are from Panama.
U.S. Attorney Sanford C. Coats said the IRS and FBI have diligently investigated the alleged illegal activity.
"The defendants cannot hide the allegedly illegal sports gambling operation behind corporate veils or state and international boundaries," Coats said.
Jim Finch, special agent in charge of the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office, said individuals cannot skirt U.S. laws by setting up illegal Internet gambling operations in a foreign country, while living in the U.S. and enjoying all the benefits of being a U.S. citizen.
"The FBI, along with our law enforcement partners, will continue to be diligent in investigating such violations of federal law," Finch said.
According to the indictment a Spring, Texas, man conspired with others to operate Internet and telephone gambling services first from San Jose, Costa Rica, then from Panama City, Panama.
Known since 2003 as Legendz Sports, the enterprise allegedly used U.S. bookies to illegally solicit and accept sports wagers as well as settle gambling debts. Individuals seeking to place bets on sports were almost exclusively from the U.S.
The indictment alleges Legendz Sports sought to maximize the number of gamblers who opened wagering accounts by offering both "post-up" betting, which requires a bettor to first set up and fund an account before placing bets, and "credit" betting, which allowed the bettor to place a wager without depositing money in advance through face-to-face meetings with bookies or agents.
Individuals named as defendants are alleged to have been employees, members and associates of Legendz Sports enterprise. Corporate defendants are alleged to have been used by Legendz Sports to facilitate gambling operations, operate as payment processors, own websites and domain names, launder gambling funds and pay gamblers.
Among those indicted is Bruce Landen Middlebrook, 44, of Edmond. Efforts to reach Middlebrook or an attorney were not successful Wednesday. The public is reminded an indictment is merely an accusation and the defendants are each presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
If convicted, defendants face up to 20 years in prison for racketeering, up to 20 years in prison for conspiring to commit money laundering, up to 10 years in prison for money laundering, and up to five years in prison for operating an illegal gambling business. In addition, the indictment seeks a forfeiture money judgment of at least $1 billion traceable to numerous specific assets including real estate, bank accounts, brokerage and investment accounts, certificates of deposit, IRA, domain names, a Sabreliner aircraft, a gas lease and vehicles.

With a projected cost of $4.2 million for a new Men's Center at the City Rescue Mission, Edmond Memorial High School students are hoping they can raise enough money to complete the project.
The student-led Swine Week goal is $375,000 for Memorial's annual fundraiser, which ends March 14.
Each year for the past 28 years, Memorial students have taken to the streets, completed dares, held assemblies, silent auctions, custom car shows and contacted businesses and residents in order to raise mounder way.
"Whenever the City Rescue Mission presented to the Student Council we saw how they help families and we realized that if we ever have to find a place to stay there is one," Ball said. "If we meet our goal we realize that we will impact the honey for Swine Week. -

The City of Edmond may need to step up its method of educating motorists who should be parking in a reverse angle in front of Dr. Brad Fielding's optometry office at 13 N. University Drive, said Nick Massey, city councilman. Massey has talked to a few people who are unhappy about the Bicycle Master Plan's reverse angle parking the city implemented at Fielding's office, he said.

James Rex Demaree, 88, died on Monday, Sept. 17, 2012 in Washington, D.C. while on an Honor's Flight to be honored as a WWII vet at the World War II memorial. A celebration of his life will be held at 10:30a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012 at the Strode Funeral Home Chapel in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Interment will follow at Fairlawn Cemetery. Strode Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Rex was born in Stillwater, Okla., on Oct. 6, 1923 to James Henry and Etta Z. (Kimple) Demaree. He attended school at Diamond Valley, east of Stillwater but graduated from Stillwater High School in Okla., in the early 1941. He was the State Champion in wrestling his senior year of high school, and won a scholarship to Oklahoma State University where after his freshman year he was called to duty and served in the Army Air Corp during WWII in the European Theater. After being honorably discharged achieving the rank of Sergeant, Rex came to OSU and became involved in ROTC and quickly rose to Cadet Colonel, and earned a 2nd Lieutenant Commission upon graduation. He was called back to duty in 1952 to train troops for Korea and honorably discharged as a 1st Lieutenant.
Rex earned his living as a contractor, building custom homes and businesses in the Stillwater area for over 20 years and then became Assistant Director of Residential Life at OSU from which he retired in 1987. In 1998 OSU honored him by naming a section of Married Student Housing the Demaree Neighborhood. Retirement as most people define it was not in his plans. He became heavily involved in the Stillwater Habitat for Humanity for many years as well as often helping with family and friends construction and remodel projects. Building was definitely in his blood. Not just building homes and businesses, but also building life-long relationships through his kindness, generosity, and desire to always try to help someone out and do the right thing.
On Feb. 15, 1947, Rex married Dovie Leota Hestand in Stillwater, Okla. They were together for over 60 years, and lovingly raised four children.
He is preceded in death by his parents, and wife, Dovie Leota Demaree.
He is survived by his daughter, Rita Demaree Burns, of Tulsa, Okla.; son, Donald Scott Demaree, of Fairfield, Iowa, son, Terry Rex Demaree, of Houston, Texas; son, James Roger Demaree, of Stillwater, Okla.; son, Ronald D. Demaree, of Jenks, Okla.; eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to the Stillwater Habitat for Humanity, 505 E. 18th Ave. Stillwater, OK 74074

The Bailes Brothers
The Bailes Brothers
From the mid-'40s through the '50s the Bailes Brothers were among the most popular close-harmony duets. There were actually four brothers -- Kyle, Johnnie, Walter, and Homer -- but they seldom worked together as an entire group, instead pairing off for performances. The Bailes were born and raised in West Virginia, near Charleston. Their father, a minister, died when they were young and their impoverished mother had to struggle to keep them together. (Years later, Walter paid tribute to her trials with his song "Give Mother My Crown.") While working a variety of odd jobs during the Depression, the brothers were inspired to pursue music by the songs of such performers as Billy Cox and Buddy Starcher. They started out on a variety of radio programs, but didn't earn much recognition until 1942, when Johnnie and Walter began working as a duo at WSAZ Huntington. All four brothers played string instruments; after they became popular, they added other members to their group, among them Fiddlin' Arthur Smith.

Across Israel, Meir Panim responds to the growing needs of the country's 1.75 million impoverished residents through various food and social service programs.
Each of these has its place – the first in biology, the second in physics, the third in secular history. But none was time as the prophets understood it. The prophets saw time as the arena in which the great drama between God and humanity was played out, especially in the history of Israel. If Israel was faithful to its mission, its covenant, it would flourish. If it was unfaithful, it would fail. It would suffer defeat and exile. That is what Jeremiah never tired of telling his contemporaries.
The second prophetic insight was the unbreakable connection between monotheism and morality. Somehow the prophets sensed – it is implicit in all their words, though they do not explain it explicitly – that idolatry was not just false. It was also corrupting. It saw the universe as a multiplicity of powers that often clashed. The battle went to the strong. Might defeated right. The fittest survived while the weak perished.
The prophets opposed this with all their force. For them the power of God was secondary; what mattered was the righteousness of God. Precisely because God loved and had redeemed Israel, Israel owed Him loyalty as their sole ultimate sovereign. And if they were unfaithful to God they would also be unfaithful to their fellow humans. They would lie, rob, and cheat: Jeremiah doubts whether there was one honest person in the whole of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 5:1). They would become sexually adulterous and promiscuous: "I supplied all their needs, yet they committed adultery and thronged to the houses of prostitutes. They are well-fed, lusty stallions, each neighing for another man's wife" (Jeremiah 5:7-8).
Their third great insight was the primacy of ethics over politics. The prophets have surprisingly little to say about politics. Yes, Samuel was wary of monarchy but we find almost nothing in Isaiah or Jeremiah about the way Israel/Judah should be governed. Instead we hear a constant insistence that the strength of a nation – certainly of Israel/Judah – is not military or demographic but moral and spiritual. If the people keep faith with God and with one another, no force on earth can defeat them. If they do not, no force can save them. As Jeremiah says in this week's haftarah, they will discover too late that their false gods offered false comfort:
"They say to wood, 'You are my father,' and to stone, 'You gave me birth.' They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, 'Come and save us!' Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah" (Jeremiah 2: 27-28).
Jeremiah, the most passionate and tormented of all the prophets, has gone down in history as the prophet of doom. Yet this is unfair. He was also supremely a prophet of hope. He is the man who said that the people of Israel would be as eternal as the sun, moon and stars (Jeremiah 31). He is the man who, while the Babylonians were laying siege to Jerusalem, bought a field as a public gesture of faith that Jews would return from exile: "For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land' " (Jeremiah 32).
Jeremiah's feelings of doom and hope were not in conflict: there were two sides of the same coin. The God who sentenced His people to exile would be the God who brought them back, for though His people might forsake Him, He would never forsake them. Jeremiah may have lost faith in people; he never lost faith in God.
Prophecy ceased in Israel with Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi in the Second Temple era. But the prophetic truths have not ceased to be true. Only by being faithful to God do people stay faithful to one another. Only by being open to a power greater than themselves do people become greater than themselves. Only by understanding the deep forces that shape history can a people defeat the ravages of history. It took a long time for biblical Israel to learn these truths, and a very long time indeed before they returned to their land – reentering the arena of history. We must never forget them again.

Only in Judaism was God's self-disclosure not to an individual or a group (the elders) but to an entire nation.

Recipe by Chef John
"If you're looking for a foolproof, wintry braised meat dish, this is virtually impossible to screw up! The only way to screw this up is to undercook the meat. The sauce has no thickeners, just pure 100% natural goodness."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 lamb shanks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 large onion, sliced
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup saba
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Needed to cook this longer.
Made this for our monthly cook club and it was a big big hit. Even my buddy who said "I don't like lamb" loved it. When they showed up at the house the smell made him a believer. LOL. Also just a note I followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out perfectly. Cooking it until it was really tender was the key. ;) Now, I just need a couple more recipes to use up the other 2/3 of a bottle of Saba. heh. Thanks Chef John. Keep those great recipes coming.

So, I'm trying to use a service called Postmark to send a formatted HTML email. They have some API documentation here, and they give this example on how to use CURL:
$: curl -X POST "http://api.postmarkapp.com/email" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Postmark-Server-Token: ed742D75-5a45-49b6-a0a1-5b9ec3dc9e5d" \
-v \
-d "{From: 'email@example.com', To: 'firstname.lastname@example.com', Subject: 'Postmark test', HtmlBody: 'Hello dear Postmark user.'}"
So, that's all good and works just fine when I use my own token. The problem is when I add my own HtmlBody. If I send a simple message, it works just fine. As soon as I add certain special characters, it breaks. For example, if I do something like this:
-d "{From: 'firstname.lastname@example.com', To: 'firstname.lastname@example.com', Subject: 'Postmark test', HtmlBody: '<!DOCTYPE html>Hello dear Postmark user.'}"
It breaks because of the !
. How can I fix this?
UPDATE: As sourcejedi pointed out I am running this from the shell (bash), so the !
issue makes sense to me now. I moved the JSON string to a separate file called email.json and loaded that using -d @email.json
. That worked for a simple email with <!DOCTYPE>
, but I'm still getting the following error when I try to load the full HTML:
{"ErrorCode":402,"Message":"Received invalid JSON input."}
I believe this has to do with some other special characters. I get the same error when I use --data-urlencode @email.json

We retain our Neutral rating on the leading distributor of dental, companion-pet veterinarian and rehabilitation medical supplies Patterson Companies Inc (PDCO - Analyst Report). The company posted tepid first-quarter fiscal 2012 results with earnings per share of 42 cents trailing both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the year-ago earnings.
Profit slid roughly 10% year over year on account of charges related to the company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). Revenues fell 0.3% year over year $847.4 million, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, on a comparable basis (excluding the impact of the benefit from an additional week a year ago) sales rose 6%.
Patterson provides a wide range of consumables, equipment and software and value-added services to its customers. The company is expected to benefit from improving North American dental industry fundamentals.
Patterson's continued investments in infrastructure should boost operational efficiencies. Moreover, the company is exploring lucrative acquisition deals to strengthen its market position and geographic reach.
Patterson should benefit from the gradual recovery in the dental market and the rebounding dental equipment business, assisted by the promotional initiatives. Revenues from new technology equipment are growing at a healthy pace as dentists continue to switch from film to digital radiography. Patterson is investing on technology upgrades to its CEREC platform, helping it to expand the associated customer base.
The company's Rehabilitation Supply business continues to grow at a healthy quarterly run rate, despite the unfavorable impact of the austerity measures in the U.K and current regulatory uncertainties in the U.S. The division is benefiting from the synergies of acquisitions.
However, Patterson faces significant competition in the dental market, especially from Henry Schein Inc (HSIC - Analyst Report). The company's back-to-back acquisitions also lead to substantial integration risk. Moreover, promotional spending and charges associated with ESOP are expected to weigh on earnings in fiscal 2012 and beyond.

Access to justice: Help coming for people headed to Canada's civil and family courts
First changes in our complicated, inefficient and bewildering legal systems will involve giving non-lawyers access to better information.
Canada's civil and family law systems are complicated and inefficient. The first steps toward changing that will be aimed at providing better information to the public, says Supreme Court of Canada Justice Thomas Cromwell.
Last year, Cromwell spearheaded a comprehensive report that laid out ways to improve access to justice — in many cases by 2018.
A recent follow-up conference in Toronto brought together judges, lawyers, government officials and community leaders from across the country to work together on ways to put those recommendations in motion.
"We have to, in the public interest, find better ways of cooperating and working together in a collaborative way so that one person isn't causing the problem another is trying to fix," says Cromwell.
The first recommendations to be implemented will probably be on the front end of the system, providing the public with the information needed to address problems quickly.
"A lot of issues that have a legal dimension are not uniquely legal problems," Cromwell adds. "If someone gets cut off workers' compensation, they can't pay rent, they can't pay child support."
There needs to be "a unified front end, a single point of entry so people can get to the appropriate place," he says.
Helping people resolve their legal problems as early as possible reduces not only the financial cost, but "the social cost of these festering problems."
Patrick Monahan, Ontario's deputy attorney general, agrees.
"We're not going to get back to a 'promised land,' if I could put it that way, where everyone is going to come to court with a lawyer."
It's unlikely that costly measures such as unified family courts will be put in place in the short term, but there can be a focus on providing more channels of information, online or in person, he says.
British Columbia is already innovating in this area, says Mark Benton, executive director of the B.C. Legal Services Society.
The Justice Education Society of B.C. has developed an online legal triage system — similar to one in the Netherlands — that invites people to answers a series of questions and then points them to the services they need, he says.
"It helps people get on the right track to start with," says Benton.
Another example is putting legal information outreach workers into the civil courts to help people navigate the system and flag potential roadblocks, he says.
Rick Craig, executive director of the Justice Education Society of B.C., is optimistic that various jurisdictions and players in the legal system will increasingly collaborate on developing better policies — something that doesn't happen as much as it should.
"I think over the next year you are going to see structures set up at the provincial and territorial level, some kind of national coordination, that is going to make the implementation much more permanent," says Craig.
The Law Society of Upper Canada is also developing a forum on access to justice to encourage collaboration across the justice system.
"There is one thing everyone agrees on and it's that the status quo is not acceptable," says law society treasurer Thomas Conway.

Leveson: Christopher Jefferies says it would be a 'disaster' if proposals not implemented in full
Related Articles
Published: 30 November 2012
The landlord wrongly arrested for the murder of Joanna Yeates has said it would be a "disaster" if David Cameron fails to implement the Leveson proposals in full.
Retired teacher Christopher Jefferies, 67, told ITV News he would feel "let down" if the Prime Minister decided to side-step recommendations on legislation.
"I would certainly feel let down," he said. "I would think it would be a disaster.
"I was very struck by the fact that almost the first words that Lord Justice Leveson said when he gave his press conference were that this was the seventh report that has been issued in 70 years as a result of public concern about abuse of power by the press. Nothing has changed in those 70 years though this is, I think, the opportunity to make sure we're not in the position we have been recently, ever again."
Mr Jefferies won substantial libel damages from eight newspapers following their coverage of his arrest in connection with the architect's disappearance in 2010. He was later released without charge.
He said he wanted to tell the Prime Minister he was "very much mistaken" over his approach to statutory underpinning of press regulation.
He added: "I think he should listen not only to the voices of those that have been the victims of the press, but that he should listen to the voices of the National Union of Journalists who are in favour of some sort of statutory underpinning of this regulation.
"And that he should listen to all those MPs who are of the same view. In fact, it is probably true to say that there is a majority in Parliament that is opposed to the point of view to which the Prime Minister has chosen to entertain.
"I mean the Prime Minister makes a great show of saying that he agrees with very much of what is in Lord Justice Leveson's report but he thinks it can be achieved without legislation. Well, I've just explained why it seems to me that really will not work and is not good enough."

Sky on a high as riders take crash course and leader Voeckler suffers
Ivan Speck
Traffic in Italy may be more chaotic than in France, but that did not mean the riders had to adopt madcap antics in Le Tour's sole foreign detour on Wednesday from which Team Sky earned a second stage win.
A wicked descent into the town of Pinerolo had the cyclists heading into thickets and scrub, scraping along walls and, in the case of two Frenchmen, one of them yellow jersey wearer Thomas Voeckler, into a residential car park.
Norwegian good: Edvald Boasson Hagen celebrates winning the 17th stage of this year's Tour
One of Voeckler's pursuers, Andy Schleck, had criticised organisers on Tuesday for planting such descents so close to the stage finish, but if comical helter-skelter action is the result, then bring on more of the same.
Mark Cavendish — took just one point in the intermediate sprint, but his lead in the green jersey race looks unassailable, barring a crash.
Voeckler ended up conceding 27 seconds to his rivals for overall victory as a consequence of his attempt to take on the mountain and losing.
He said: 'I found myself at the front on the descent so I tried to speed down it and see what might happen.
'But when you leave the road once you lose confidence. I came off three times in the end.
Mishap: Thomas Voeckler (left) retained his yellow jersey but only after taking a wrong-turn
Water sight: The pack crosses Serre Poncon lake at Savines le Lac on the way to Italy
'The third time was into the car park. It was an 80cm drop off the pavement. I was very lucky. It could have been a wall.
'If I had not acted like a mad dog I could have stayed with (Alberto) Contador but I tried and I failed. Mountain biking is not my speciality.'
Going up: The riders climb through the Alps on their way from Gap to Pinerolo
Star of the downhill slalom show was Jonathan Hivert, who slid along an edge then skidded into a thick shrub and finally took a tour of the car park which Voeckler would soon visit.
Hivert had been pursuing Edvald Boasson Hagen but, thanks to Team Sky's thorough preparation,
including a reconnaissance of the stage last month, when they practised
the descent three times, the Norwegian was able to speed away to his —
and the team's — second stage victory of the Tour.

Berkshire May Be Required To Post Up To $8 Billion In Collateral
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 13:55Some bad news for Uncle Warren. In a note by Barclays' Jay Gelb, the insurance analyst evaluates the impact of FinReg on that "other" company and concludes that as a result of Berkshire having $62 billion in notional derivative exposure, the additional collateral requirement contemplated in the current version of Financial Reform (don't worry, the corrupt idiots in Congress will strip it before all is said and done), which amounts to 10% of notional, or 100% of option proceeds, would result in $6-8 billion in collateral posting requirements imposed on "America's Company." Even for Buffett, this is not purely chump change.

Guest Post: Housing Market & Construction Costs: Builders Can't Justify Investment
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 13:04At Kerrisdale Capital, we've written about the housing market before, but estimating the fair value of the US housing market is difficult. Two of the best ways to estimate fair housing prices are to compare housing costs to household income or rental rates. Obviously people can only spend so much on housing relative to their incomes, but secular trends in spending, tax rates, and cyclical trends in income make the data difficult to interpret. Likewise, comparable rental rates do a good job of showing the relative cost of ownership, but in an inflated market, rental rates are likely to be inflated as well. A third way to estimate the fair value of the housing market is to look at the replacement cost of existing homes. If the cost of building a home is equal to the cost of buying a home, then the price to cost multiple is 1x, implying a breakeven level of profitability for homebuilders. If homebuilders can build a house for $300k and sell it for $400k (a 30% return) they will continue to build homes until they can only sell them for around $330k (a 10% return).

Russia Buys 22 Tons Of Gold In May
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 12:52Ten days ago we reported the most recent data on gold reserve holdings as presented by the World Gold Council, where we pointed out that Russia had purchased 27.6 tons of gold in the most recent reporting period, bringing its total to 668.6 tons. It appears Russia is only getting started. According to the latest IMF data, in the period between April and May, Russia added another 22.5 tons, bringing its May total to a fresh record of 703.1 tons. As BusinessWeek reports, Russia "has added gold every month since at least February." At the same time, The International Monetary Fund's gold holdings fell by 15.25 metric tons (490,286 ounces). "Reserves of gold at the IMF were 2,951.58 tons at the end of May compared with 2,966.83 tons at the end of April, data on the IMF's website show." Good thing the world's bailout cop is doing all it can to keep gold prices low by transacting in the open market instead of in prenegotiated transaction. Again, per BusinessWeek, this "is an indication that they will continue to sell the remaining 137.5 tons on-market as opposed to via off-market transactions with other central banks," said Daniel Major, an analyst at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in London. "Indeed the decline in gold sales from European central banks and purchases from India, Russia and China in recent years demonstrates gold's growing popularity with central banks." Well, all Central Banks except those that are printer happy of course, and are now loaded to the gills with toxic debt that will continue to impair their currencies until the bitter Keynesian end.

Bill Fleckenstein Says You Can't Trust S&P PE Multiples As All The Financials' Earnings "Are Pure Nonsense"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 12:12"I don't see how the market can go up and make new highs" says Bill. As for the allegedly cheap 13x that the market is trading on, and that David Kostin likes shoving down every Goldman client's throat on a daily basis, Fleckenstein says, "13 times is only cheap relative to the last decade and a half. In the 70s and 80s, the market was trading at 8x and dividends were double where they are. I don't know how much of those S&P earnings are due to financials: all the financial earnings are pure nonsense, they are making it all up, we don't know where assets are priced necessarily and they are bailed out on the back of the Fed putting rates at zero. So I don't believe the earnings and I don't know what the multiple's going to be. It could easily trade at ten times."

With $1 Trillion In Loans, The ECB Is The Biggest Guarantor Of European Banks
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 11:35Today's lower than expected interest in the 3-month LTRO operation was supposed to indicate a sign of stability for European banks. Nothing could be further from the truth. In an article which recaps a variety of data points presented here previously, the FT summarizes that European banks continue to exist solely due to a record and unprecedented $1 trillion in emergency loans issued to Europe's commercial banks. In turn, almost 40% of this liquidity is then recycled, and stored back with the ECB, as the very same banks have no trust whatsoever in any of their peers. In short: no matter what the Stress Tests indicate, the European financial system is now in a worse condition than ever in history, including the days just after Lehman.

Goldman Technician Says To Short Market Unless S&P 1083 Is Recovered Today
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 10:48Courtesy of reader Apocalicious, we present the following piece of technical analysis from Goldman's Tony Pasquariello. According to the technician, a critical level to watch is the 12-month moving average, which many consider a critical indicator of upward (or downward momentum). According to Goldman, "unless S&P recovers the 1083 level today, we will have crossed down and through the moving average. On this simple basis, the technical signal is to be short the market." In any other market we would say a 40 point ramp in the S&P on a day such as today when the ADP came in so far below expectations would be simply insane... But not in our market. After all, the best traders taxpayer money can buy reside at Liberty 33. And they are on a mission.

FX Decoupling Comes Early, As Euro Once Again Completely Ignored In Carry Trades
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 10:30After yesterday's calamitous market selloff, the decoupling in various asset classes indicates just how great the degree of confusion in the market is. The AUDJPY is now indicating once again overbought risk assets, at least on a relative basis. As this is now the only relevant carry trade driving the market, a convergence pair trade here appears an opportunistic entry point to pick a few points. As for the EURJPY, forget about it. The pair is now decisvely correlation with pretty much nothing. The euro has now fallen out of all carry trade favor.

Another Slap For Merkel As Her Presidential Pick Does Not Get Enough Votes In Second Round
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 10:22The German presidential election is heading for a third round, after Chancellor Merkel's presidential candidate Christian Wulff was unable to generate an absolute majority in the second round against opponent Joachim Gauck. Even though this position is largely a figurehead, it is another symbolic slap in the face of the Chancellor, who finds herself navigating increasing dissatisfaction over her austerity measures, coupled with the controversial decision to bail out Greece and Spain, and French banks, further augmented by an increasing German desire to pull away from the Euro. In the third round candidates need only a simple majority to win. Voters consist of a special assembly that elects the head of state, made up of members of parliament and delegates from 16 states.

IMF Discloses Ongoing FX Reserve Rotation Out Of "Developed" Currencies Into Yuan, Ruble And Other Currencies
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 09:56The latest IMF Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves report was just released. In the quarter ending March 31, the biggest relative drop occurred in central bank holdings of Dollars, declining as a percentage of total reserves from 62.2% in Q4 2009 to 61.5% in Q1 2010. This is the lowest ever relative holding of US Dollars by foreign banks. Oddly enough, the euro was not the biggest beneficiary of this loss of confidence in the dollar (it also declined on a relative basis by 0.1% as a % of total holdings to 72.2% in Q1), but the "Other" currency category. We assume that the Chinese Yuan is the dominant currency in this particular basket. Other reserves increased from 3.1% of total to 3.7% in just one quarter. Central banks are starting to rotate holdings out of Dollars (and after this quarter, certainly out of euros) and into non-traditional, non-developed currencies. Are China and Russia slowly becoming reserves?

Chicago PMI Comes In Uninspired And In Line, Employment Component Causes Market Spike
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 09:06The positive goal seeking data bias continues: after a horrendous ADP jobs report pushed futures lower earlier, the Employment component, a far less relevant metric in the Chicago PMI released at 9:45 (and 5 minutes earlier if you are a subscriber), the Employment index, came in at 54.2, an improvement of 5 points over the 2010 low of 49.2 in April. And somehow this number is supposed to reverse all the negativity associated with not only the ADP, but the very large likelihood that Goldman may be well on its way to revising its NFP (+150k) expectation lower. Otherwise, the actual overall reading of 59.1 came in right at expectations of 59.0, and marked another yet another monthly decline, from April's 59.7; the Business Barometer index is now at a three month low as can be seen on the chart below. Of 7 components in the index, just employment, as noted, was Higher: everything else was flat or negative, with both the Inventories and the Supplier Deliveries subcomponents plunging, by 9.9 and 4.4, respectively. Inventories is now at the lowest reading since February 2009. Restocking is now over - no more GDP gains will be seen courtesy of this economic gimmick.

Morning Gold Fix: June 30, 2010
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 08:26Gold traded in a wide range on Tuesday as markets reacted to frightening news. Slowing growth from China shocked the market, driving oil prices more than $3 lower,dropping the Standard & Poor 500 ~30 handles and leaving gold and the dollar as the prime beneficiaries. More contagion fears from Europe and paltry consumer confidence reports didn't help matters either. Gold sold as low as $1228 per 100 troy ounces on Tuesday before ultimately closing just over $1246, a $4.80 gain for the day.

ADP Bad Enough To Shake Even Goldman's Confidence
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2010 - 08:08Today's ADP number came in at +13k, compared to expectations of +60k, with the previous number revised to +57 from +55. It was basically a disaster, as it now puts the already shaky expectations for the June NFP number in even greater jeopardy. The number was so bad it even has Goldman's Jan Hatzius scratching his head. As the firm has lately been horrendous in predicting the NFP, we anticipate that Goldman will likely downward revise its +150,000 gains in payrolls ex-census over the next 48 hours.
