VIII. 202. Letter from the Lords of the Council to the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen, with respect to the late fire near Arundel House, at which the good use of the engines for spouting water (fn. 1) manifestly appeared, though there were none brought until it was late, because there were no engines in the parishes near thereabout; recommending that a frequent provision should be made of them, so that they might be near and ready at hand on all occasions, and that the great parishes should provide themselves with engines, and the lesser ones should join together in providing them; and conveying their thanks to Mr. Sheriff Atkins, (fn. 2) who did good service in person at the fire. 10th March, 1637.
IX. 39. Letter from Sir William Morrice to the Lord Mayor and Common Council, informing them that His Majesty had seen and considered some propositions for relieving all people that might suffer from accidental fires, and for setting a constant provision for the poor in all Cities and Corporations. He intended to bring the same before Parliament, and had appointed certain persons to attend the Common Council to consult and advise with them upon the subject. If they approved, they should commend the same to Parliament. 22nd February, 1661.

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home near a junior high school.
He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace and contentment. Then a new school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful, after-school enthusiasm, came down his street, beating merrily on every trashcan they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after day, until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some action. The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as they banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, "You kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like that. In fact, I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I'll give you each a dollar if you'll promise to come around every day and do your thing." The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up job on the trashcans. After a few days, the old-timer greeted the kids again, but this time he had a sad smile on his face. "This recession's really putting a big dent in my income," he told them. "From now on, I'll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on the cans." The noisemakers were obviously displeased, but they did accept his offer and continued their afternoon ruckus. A few days later, the wily retiree approached them again as they drummed their way down the street. "Look," he said, "I haven't received my Social Security check yet, so I'm not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be okay?" "A lousy quarter?" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think we're going to waste our time, beating these cans around for a quarter, you're nuts! No way, mister. We quit!" And the old man enjoyed peace. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!! |

Welcome to Distant Hills Guest House
Why come to our Spean Bridge accommodation?
Distant Hills is an established family run guest house, set in extensive grounds and located at the edge of the quiet Highland village Spean Bridge. There are walks from the door of our Spean Bridge accommodation through the village to the surrounding countryside and beyond to the Caledonian Canal. Take a packed lunch and enjoy the peace and quiet in a secluded picnic spot.
We aim to keep finding new places and activities for you to enjoy so check out our Facebook page for up to date ideas such as the Jacobite steam train trips, coffee and cake in Roy Bridge or walks near Ben Nevis.
Areas to explore around Spean Bridge
Roy Bridge
Our accommodation is convenient for the neighbouring village of Roy Bridge which is just two miles away. There you can discover Glen Roy's geological parallel roads a rare hillside feature formed by a glacial lake. Charles Darwin visited in 1838 and wrote an article about what he thought was an ancient marine shoreline. Glen Roy itself is two miles from Distant Hills, signposted from the middle of Roy Bridge. The single track road gives a spectacular drive up into the heart of a beautiful high glen passing ancient crofts with the option of short or hill top walks. Also keep your eyes open for the chalice stone or at the side of the road which is a large flat topped stone with a carving of a communion cup on the side. It is said to date from when Roman Catholic people were persecuted so they came to the stone in secret to celebrate Mass. Glen Roy is also the site of the last inter clan battle in 1688 when the MacDonells (or MacDonalds) defeated our poor old clan the MacKintoshes. A cairn marks the site of the battle.
One mile further East of Roy Bridge there is a small road on the left just after the Glenspean Hotel. Here you will find Cille Choirill a very sacred site with a 15th century church and burial ground. The church sits on top of a hill which gives beautiful views down the glen. In more recent times the site doubled as "Glenbogle Church" in the BBC series "Monarch of the Glen".
Fort William
Fort William is only 10 miles away and it is the only town in the district of Lochaber. It has a range of shops, numerous places to eat, remnants of the old fort, the ruin of Old Inverlochy Castle, the West Highland history museum (with new commando exhibition), a library with internet access and an indoor ten pin bowling centre. It is located at the foot of Ben Nevis and for the less adventurous there are numerous lower level walks in Glen Nevis.
Fort Augustus
Fort Augustus and the southern tip of Loch Ness are just 30 minutes' drive. Have a walk around the pretty village including the former abbey and watch the boats navigate the series of locks on the Caledonian Canal which dissects the village.
The Accommodation
Unlike some hotels Distant Hills offers individually designed modern bedrooms with quality linens and lots of little extras. There is a choice of double or twin bedded en-suite rooms all at ground floor level.
There is no "family room" in Distant Hills so we have decided to focus on creating a relaxed and peaceful place for singles, couples and older families. We therefore do not accept children under 12 years of age.
At breakfast we aim to provide a wide and tasty choice sourcing our food locally where possible. There are usually at least four main meal options so we ask guests to pre-order in the evening. The pancakes, fruit compote, jams and marmalade are homemade and of course our eggs come from our own hens. The bacon, sausages, black pudding and haggis come from our local butchers.
Our kitchen is open to the dining room so there are delicious breakfast aromas, the sounds of a busy kitchen and background music specially selected by Peter for everyone's enjoyment. Breakfast is served between 8 and 9 am or earlier by arrangement.
At the end of an enjoyable day
To help you relax and unwind there is a large bright guest lounge with comfy sofas and armchairs overlooking the garden.
The spacious and colourful garden offers an opportunity to wander beside the stream in the peaceful surroundings with a pleasant outlook to the distant hills of the Grey Corries and Aonach Mor. You can also sit under the shady arbour and enjoy the quiet and tranquillity.
Distant Hills is non-smoking throughout.
If you would like to check emails or discover the area on the internet we have free wifi throughout the building.

Decided to take advantage of our clear skies. Headed out at 2am to Alki to take shots of the city skyline and it's lights. The wind was calm, but a bit chilly. It was so peaceful, with the sound of small waves on the rocks and occasional boats and ships passing by. The calling of a seal from a distant rock reminding me how fortunate we are to have wildlife just in our backyard.

We managed to remove the pocket door in our older home for repair. We did some surfing on the net and found that it could be done without taking apart the wall-all we had to do was take off a bit of finishing trim around one side of the opening and tilt the door just right to get the wheels out of the track. That part went o.k. (especially since one wheel mechanism had fallen off in the wall cavity-we only had to jiggle ONE free)
So, now that 2 wheel mechanisms are properly installed, is there a secret tip on how one gets the wheels back in the track? We've made our attempts but we're pretty hopeless!
Instead of using your old hardware and just fixing the door go and get new hardware. Our house was built in the 80's and they used 2 wheels only that kept falling off when my toddlers would slam them shut. We managed to find new hardware that makes it impossible for the wheels to fall off the track. I think they run about $20 per door plus the new track. The moulding has to come off and it does seem impossible that the door will go back in but with some sweat and swearing it really will..good luck.

Voters authorized the creation of the Texas Mobility Fund (TMF) in 2001, establishing it within the treasury of the State of Texas, and authorizing the Texas Transportation Commission to administer it. As authorized by the voters, the Texas Legislature established the TMF to provide a method of financing the construction, reconstruction, acquisition, and expansion of state highways, including the costs of any necessary design and costs of acquisition of rights-of-way.
The TMF may also be used to provide participation by TxDOT in the payment of all or a portion of the costs of constructing and providing publicly-owned toll roads and other public transportation projects. Bonds and other obligations of the TMF issued to-date are secured by a first lien interest in certain revenues of the TMF, and they are also general obligations of the State secured by the full faith and credit of the State.
Therefore, should the revenue and money dedicated to and on deposit in the TMF be insufficient to make payments due on TMF bonds and other obligations, there is appropriated from the State Treasury an amount that is sufficient to make payments due on such bonds and other obligations. The maximum maturity for bonds in this program is 30 years.

Talking Cuba
Mea Cuba
"To be Cuban is to be born in Cuba. To be Cuban is to go with Cuba everywhere. To be Cuban is to carry Cuba like a persistent memory. We all carry Cuba within like an unheard music, like a rare vision that we know by heart. Cuba is a paradise from which we flee by trying to return."
In Mea Cuba, Guillermo Cabrera Infante gathers together all the separate writings on Cuba—articles, essays, memoirs, portraits, reflections, prepared talks—that he has produced since October 3, 1965, the day he left Cuba on a flight to Belgium (where he had been serving as cultural attaché) on the understanding of the authorities that he would not return for two years. His own understanding was different. As the plane passed the point of no return, he says,
I knew then what would be my destiny: to travel without returning to Cuba, to care for my daughters and to occupy myself by/in literature. I don't know whether or not I pronounced the magic formula—"silence, exile, cunning"—but I can say that it is easier in this time to adopt the literary style than to copy the lifestyle of James Joyce.
Cabrera Infante's exile has lasted just short of thirty years by now, in the course of which he has become an enduringly original literary presence, unquestionably Cuba's most important living writer, and one who, more than the other Latin American writers of his generation, has intruded himself into the English language, writing occasionally in an English as startling and original as his Spanish, and masterminding the translations of his own work into English.
Inevitably, since Mea Cuba is as personal as its title suggests, its underlying theme, its underlying reality, is that of exile. When Cabrera Infante left Cuba, he first came to rest in Spain, but, denied permanent residence there, he moved to London, where he has lived steadily since 1966, in about as un-Cuban a setting as can be imagined. In an interview he gave a few years ago, he said: "I inhabit three islands: the British Isles, of which I am now a citizen; Cuba, which is always in my being and my memory, and the top of my desk, which is my active, everyday island." Most tellingly, however, exile for him meant exile from his language, not just Spanish, but Cuban Spanish, with its quickness of tongue, wryly admired in Spanish America. In the short memoir, "Two Died Together," in Mea Cuba, Cabrera Infante writes of Cubans talking:
A tasca in old Madrid on a November afternoon in 1976. Two middle-aged men are talking seated at a table. One of them is an imposing black who could easily play Othello, the other is white, short, with protruding eyes that seem to see everything. He could be played by Peter Lorre in Casablanca. Both are Cuban, both exiles and they have been talking louder than the Madrileños around them—and that's saying a …

Photo: Thinkstock As summer approaches, many teens are looking forward to taking driver's ed and claiming their license in time for school in the fall. (And, to be sure, many parents are happy to get a break from chauffeur duty.) Driving themselves to and from school may be more convenient than relying on the bus or parents, but according to an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study, it comes with risks.
Researchers collected data on crashes from September 2001 to August 2004 in Fairfax County, Virginia, a Washington, D.C., suburb that has the largest public school system in the state. The data showed a spike in crashes during morning and afternoon school commute times. In fact, about 30 percent of crashes involving 16- and 17-year-olds were happening during school commute times. The teen drivers were less likely to have been speeding or drinking before commuting crashes, compared with those late at night, suggesting that it wasn't their behavior that was causing the crashes. In fact, the research suggested that fatigue and distraction might play a role, as would simply an increase of novice drivers on the road at the same time. The Fairfax County study didn't find an increase of accidents during lunchtime, likely because the school district has a closed policy—kids aren't allowed off school grounds at lunchtime.

Gray campaign aide admits to paying off other D.C. candidates
Tuesday - 5/22/2012, 6:29pm  ET
WASHINGTON - In a case that revealed underhanded tactics used to get Vincent Gray elected mayor of Washington, a former Gray campaign aide pleaded guilty Tuesday to funneling campaign funds to another mayoral candidate and shredding records of the transactions.
Thomas Gore admitted in U.S. District Court that he converted excessive or unattributed cash contributions to Gray's 2010 campaign into money orders that were then filled out by another party and given to Sulaimon Brown, a minor candidate. The payments were intended to keep Brown in the race so that he could continue making negative comments about then-mayor Adrian Fenty as he sought reelection, Gore acknowledged.
The 56-year-old Gore, a longtime friend of Gray's and the acting treasurer for the campaign, also admitted that he lied to the FBI about having shredded a spiral notebook in which he kept records of the payments to Brown. He further revealed that he was caught in the lie when confronted with wiretap evidence.
Brown has long maintained that he was paid by Gray's campaign and promised a job in the Gray administration in exchange for his harsh rhetoric about Fenty. He alleged that Gray was aware of the payments, which the mayor denies. Brown was appointed to a $110,000-a-year city government job in January 2011, shortly after Gray took office, and fired after less than a month.
"In 2010, the voters of the District of Columbia were deceived," U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen said in a statement. "Envelopes stuffed with fraudulent money orders prevented the public from knowing that one mayoral campaign was secretly financing the campaign of an opposing candidate."
Gore pleaded guilty to a felony obstruction-of-justice charge for the attempted cover-up and three misdemeanors of making a contribution in the name of another person. The money orders contained the names of people who did not contribute to the Brown campaign.
Federal sentencing guidelines call for him to receive 12 to 18 months in prison, although prosecutors could seek a reduction in the event of "substantial cooperation" with investigators. Because of the ongoing probe, no sentencing date was set.
Gore and his attorney, Frederick Cooke, declined to comment after the hearing. Gray's spokesman deferred comment to the mayor's attorney, who could not be reached and has repeatedly declined to comment about the investigation.
Gray, 69, defeated Fenty by 10 percentage points in the 2010 Democratic primary, tapping into widespread dissatisfaction with a mayor widely perceived as aloof. Gray also touted himself as the more ethical candidate, criticizing Fenty for steering lucrative government contracts to his college fraternity brothers. Voters split along racial and socioeconomic lines, with Gray carrying poorer, majority-black sections of the city by wide margins while Fenty fared well in wealthier neighborhoods.
Several Gray campaign staffers have said Brown's attacks on Fenty at candidate forums amounted to a sideshow that did nothing to help Gray get elected.
According to a document outlining Gore's actions, which he acknowledged in court was accurate, Gore and another Gray campaign staffer agreed in June 2010 to start funneling money to Brown. Although the other campaign staffer was identified in the document only as "Person A," records of the money-order contributions indicate that person was Howard Brooks, a Gray campaign consultant. Brooks has not been charged.
Although the guilty plea only covered three money orders, Gore acknowledged converting cash given to the Gray campaign into five money orders worth a total of $660. Three of those were in the name of Brooks' son, Peyton Brooks, and two others contain the names of a relative of Howard Brooks and a friend of Peyton Brooks.
The documents indicate that Howard Brooks handed the money orders to Brown, which is consistent with Brown's account of the payments.
Gore also acknowledged that he met with Howard Brooks last September to discuss the investigation. Gore told Brooks during that meeting that he shredded his records of payments to Brown after The Washington Post reported Brown's allegations in March 2011.
When U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly quoted Gore's statements from the meeting with Brooks and asked if they were accurate, Gore said, "That was a statement taken from a wire."
The comment indicates that Howard Brooks was working for the FBI and carrying a recording device during the meeting with Gore. Brooks' attorney, Glenn Ivey, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Gore sat for a voluntary interview with the FBI in October and lied about the conversation with Brooks, telling agents that he did not keep records of money given to Brown. During the same interview, he later acknowledged the existence of the notebook but lied about when he shredded it. Gore admitted the false statements in court Tuesday.

Hi John,
I'm not really the man to ask regarding sharpness. I'm reasonably good at extracting sharpness from my images and have have improved greatly recently, but there are probably many other people who are more clued up than I. You should post in the forum asking for help as I'm sure you'll get plenty of great advice.

Sharpness....before you've finally closed the image go to "enhance" unsharp mask, then the settings need to be around...168 to 175 (amount) then somewhere between 3 and 5 (radius) and then 1 (threshold). That's assuming you're using PS. See if that works, it's the setting I usually use.
On this shot...you'd benefot from a ngrad filter to help control the exposure of the sky

Laramie, Wy – The Wyoming Insurance Commissioner has no regrets about the state failing to pass a bill that would have allowed the state to either help or put a foot into the medical malpractice business. The Ohio Insurance Company, one of Wyoming's major medical malpractice providers is leaving Wyoming in a few months, but Insurance Commissioner Ken Vines thinks that other providers may be able to step in to replace them. Lawmakers had considered legislation that could have gotten Wyoming into the Insurance business. But Vines says the failure of such legislation probably does not matter .

Back to Africa: A.D. 901 to 1000
In Ethiopia there was a revival of power under the Cushitic-speaking Zagwe Dynasty. Old documents link King Yimrha-Kristos to the Egyptian Coptic patriarchs Cyril II (1,077-1,092) and Michael (1,092-1102). Meanwhile the Semitic component of the country spread westward from Addis Ababa to include Lake Tana by 1,100. (Ref. 270) Nubia, in the region between the 1st and 4th cataracts of the Nile, continued to have two separate kingdoms, one the Kingdom of Nubia and the other, farther south, the Kingdom of Alwa. (Ref. 83)
Egypt remained an Arab, Moslem state under the Fatimid Dynasty throughout this century. As noted in the last chapter, these Shi'ite rulers had invaded from the west, having first had a base in Tunisia and an army of Berber tribesmen. They developed Cairo as their capital.
Morocco and Tunisia had a continuing change of emirates and the situation was complicated by the return of hordes of Spanish Moors, who were being run out of Spain. When the Berber Zirid Dynasty tried to become independent of Cairo, the Fatimids sent armies of Bedouin Arabs against them and they succeeded in devastating the region and its economy. At about that same time, on an island just off the Moroccan coast, Ibn Yasin, with some Sahara desert followers, formed a dedicated band and with thousands of camel men, launched a "jihad"1, driving eastward, overrunning all western, north Africa (the Mahgrib), some of Ghana and even part of Spain, establishing the Almoravid Dynasty2. A concept of Moroccan unity was born and Marakesh was developed as the capital of this new ruling group in 1062.
The acme of the Ghana Empire may have occurred in the first half of this century. The inhabitants were the Negroid Soninke (Sarakole) branch of Mande-speakers. They dominated well over 100,000 square miles of territory with an efficient administration and an army of 200,000, including 40,000 bowmen. Their horses had gold trappings and their guard dogs had gold collars. Al Bakri, writing in 1067, said that the houses were of two stories, with warehouses on the ground floor and living quarters above. The Soninke had their own pagan religion, but they allowed Muslims in their territory. In the second half of the century drought, famine and pillage of the capital city by the Almoravids (1076) started the empire into decline. The invading Moslems were helped by non-Moslem Berbers who needed the salt mines of Ankar. It is probable that the city of Jennejeno, whose development we have followed in previous chapters, participated in this decline as it known that its population decreased, despite new commerce with North Africa. (Ref. 268) As Ghana fell, successor states included Diara, Soso, two Mossi states and Manding, or Mali, formed by the Malinke Mande. The ruler of the latter was a Moslem living in the rapidly growing city of Timbuktu. Subject to Mali was an adjacent empire in the middle Niger called Songhoy and at about this same time a people called the "Telem" took over the old abandoned granaries in the caves of the Bandiagara cliff in Mali and used this as a burial place for their dead. (See page 234, volume 1). One cave alone has been found to have 3,000 skeletons. (Ref. 251)
By this time most of the desert nomads had been converted to Islam, which had spread south from the Maghrib into the states of the Sudan with Muslim merchants as they crossed the Sahara. This dangerous trans-Sahara trade carried luxury goods, eventually fire-arms and salt, a vital element in the diet of tropical countries. On the reverse, north trek went gold, leather work and slaves. (Ref. 8, 45, 211, 83) This was the era when the one-humped camel (dromedary) really became of greatest importance in the desert. These hot, dry-country animals could carry 700 to 800 "light pounds". A caravan of 6,000 camels could carry 2,400 to 3,000 tons or the load of 4 to 6 medium sized sailing ships of that period. (Ref. 260)
Farther east there was the country of Kanem, which had no gold but did a brisk business of exporting slaves. In this century Kanem accepted Islam and under Mai Dunama I, the borders of the state were extended northward across the desert to Fezzan and westward into Hausaland. Dunama is said to have had 30,000 horsemen, cultural and commercial links with the Middle East and to have maintained a rest house in Cairo for pilgrims going from Kanem to Mecca. (Ref. 175, 83)
In the dense rain forest of central Africa, Pygmoid and Bushmanoid hunters continued to be present and the Bantu-speaking Negroids had already been migrating down the rivers from the Sudanic belt to that area and were gradually spreading east and south. The Luba people may have been well established in the Lake Kisale region of northern Katanga for three centuries. The Kenya highlands and adjoining northern Tanzania were also already well populated. The original inhabitants, as previously noted, were Caucasoids called "Azanians" and by tradition were tall, bearded and red-skinned. Gradually through the centuries, however, these had been gradually absorbed by the Nilo-Hamites and the Bantu-speaking Negroids. The latter were also filtering into the south into the territory of the Bushmen. Some buildings were erected at Zimbabwe in this century, beginning the development of another great empire which would flower some centuries hence. (Ref. 83, 175)

More Layoffs Announced—Is Your Firm On the List?
A major US retailer announced job cuts Monday amid worries about the fate of the stimulus plan, while a big Wall Street firm has further job cuts in store, according to reports.
Shares of Macy's dove about 12 percent as the merchant became February's first major US-listed firm to announce layoffs—7,000 jobs in total.
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley may be announcing job cuts that total between 1,500 to 1,880 positions, or about 3 percent to 4 percent of the investment bank's work force, according to reports. Morgan Stanley had no comment.
The number of people receiving unemployment benefits has reached an all-time record this week and more layoffs are spreading throughout the economy.
The Labor Department reported on Thursday that the number of Americans continuing to claim unemployment insurance for the week ending Jan. 17 was a seasonally adjusted 4.78 million, the highest on records dating back to 1967. That's an increase of 159,000 from the previous week and worse than economists' expectations of 4.65 million.
As a proportion of the work force, the tally of unemployment benefit recipients is the highest since August 1983, a department analyst said.
The record number of ongoing benefit claims is an indication that laid-off workers are having a difficult time finding new jobs, economists said.
"This highlights the key point that the trend in gross hirings has slowed as abruptly as the trend in gross firings ... has risen," Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics, wrote in a research note.
A year ago, continuing claims stood at about 2.7 million, less than half their current level when the extended unemployment program is included.
Abiel Reinhart, an economic analyst at JPMorgan Chase, said the report indicatesthe unemployment rate likely rose this month. January's figure will be released Feb. 6.
The crush of new and continuing claims has overwhelmed many states' ability to process them all. Electronic filing systems crashed in three states earlier this month, and last week Michigan said it would hire 276 workers and open a fourth call center to handle increased phone traffic.
President Barack Obama's $819 billion economic stimulus package, approved by the House Wednesday and now on its way to the Senate, would provide $500 million to the states to upgrade their unemployment insurance systems. The measure also continues the extended unemployment compensation program, which adds up to 33 weeks of benefits, until the end of the year.
Here is a rundown of corporate job cuts announced so far this year:
- The 7,000 job cuts at Macy's account for 4 percent of the company's work force. In additioni to the job cuts, the retailer said it is cutting the 401(k) contribution it provides to existing employees. Also hurting Macy's shares was a dividend cut, to 5 cents per share from 13.5 cents.
- Morgan Stanley plans to cut about 3 to 4 percent of its work force, or up to 1,880 people, as it battles with spiraling costs and slowing business, according to people familiar with the matter. This wave of layoffs comes in addition to 7,000 layoffs the firm announced in 2008.
- Caterpillar said it was laying off an additional 2,110 workers as the company scrambles to cope with a downturn in demand for its construction and mining equipment.
- Walt Disney's television division is cutting 400 jobs, or about 6 percent of the unit's work force, due to the slumping economy.
- Strattec Security announced it will cut back on its production work force and cut its salaried work force by 10 percent. Twenty salaried workers were let go, while 66 production workers, or about one-third of the Glendale factory's work force, are on temporary layoff.
- Electronics giant NEC said it will cut 20,000 workers worldwide to stanch mounting losses, joining a slew of other Japanese corporate heavyweights who are slashing jobs to survive the deepening global downturn.
- Cessna Aircraftissued 60-day layoff notices to thousands of Wichita workers, saying job cuts must go deeper than previously expected. Cessna plans to cut employment by about 30 percent—approximately 4,600 companywide.That number has mushroomed since Cessna first announced it would eliminate 665 jobs in November. In early January, Cessna said it would cut an additional 2,000 jobs.
Eastman Kodak posted an unexpected quarterly loss and said it would cut up to 4,500 jobs this yearafter suffering a dramatic decline in demand for digital cameras and commercial printing equipment.
- British drugmaker AstraZeneca posted lower fourth-quarter net income, announced 6,000 further job cuts and issued a cautious 2009 sales outlook.
- Northbrook-based Allstate said that it plans to cut about 1,000 jobs in its financial arm through a combination of attrition and job cuts over the next two years.
- Oshkosh said it was cutting its workforce by 7 percentand withdrawing its 2009 earnings forecast. The company said it was also cutting production and closing a number of facilities. Over the past year, Oshkosh has laid off about 2,400 of its 14,200 workers.
- Tool maker Black & Decker said it would cut about 1,200 jobsto curb costs while battling a further fall in demand in most of its markets in 2009.
- Ford Motor Credit, the lending and financing arm of Ford Motor , will cut about 20 percent of its U.S. staff, or about 1,200 jobs, as part of a restructuring plan announced in meetings with employees.

Additionally, Pfizer also plans by 2011 to cut about 8,190 jobs, 10 percent of its workforce, as part of what it expects will be a staff reduction totaling 15 percent of the combined companies' workers—implying a total job loss of almost 20,000.

Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From Middle English bemoth, behemoth, from Late Latin, from Hebrew בהמות (bəhēmōth), either an intensive plural of בהמה (bəhēmāh, "beast"), from Proto-Semitic (compare Ethiopic [script?] (bəhma, "dumb, speechless"), Arabic [script?] ('abham, "animal") (declined as bahma(t), bahīma(t))), or borrowed from Ancient Egyptian p-ehe-mau 'hippopotamus', literally 'water-ox'.
behemoth (plural behemoths)
- (biblical) A great and mighty beast God shows Job in Job 40:15-24.
- A great and mighty monster.
- Something which has the qualities of great power and might, and monstrous proportions.
- 2011 January 18, Lovejoy, Joe, "Cardiff City 0 Stoke City 2", Guardian Online:
- The diehards who did turn out were at least rewarded with a first sight of Jon Parkin, the behemoth striker signed from Preston, who scored a stunning goal on his debut at Norwich last weekend.
- 2011 January 18, Lovejoy, Joe, "Cardiff City 0 Stoke City 2", Guardian Online:
- 1611, King James Version of the Bible (Authorized Version), Job 40:15–18
- Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
- Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
- 2001 — Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl, p 58
- Next she doused the smouldering troll with the contents of the restaurant's fire extinguisher, hoping the icy powder wouldn't revive the sleeping behemoth.

After receiving more than 2,100 calls of complaints Monday, Wake County Schools says the second day of classes went smoother.
Yesterday, district headquarters received nearly 2,175 phone calls alone. Today, the school system received 1,241 complaints between phone calls, online forms and emails.
Districts across the state, including Wake and Durham, say new GPS tracking has improved performance. The system also allows parents to track their child's bus.
Durham and Wake County are two of the biggest school systems in the Triangle using the technology, which allows them keep lost drivers on schedule and leaves no question as to if a bus arrived on time.
"It shows the actual time the bus is sitting and then leaving, we are able to give that information to the parents," said Tammy Phillips with Durham County Schools.
Thirteen school districts across North Carolina have installed school bus tracking devices.
The school system ran 932 buses Monday and transported 75,000 students over a total of 4,667 routes.

Recruiting Roundup: IL's No. 15 Young Gun Greg Danseglio verbals to Virginia
Sean Burns - 10/9/2009
Though IL's recruiting guru Geoff Shannon is out of town this weekend (something about visiting an alma mater or somesuch) - the recruiting world is still alive and well, and we're trying to keep up with it in his absence. One bit of pretty big news just came down the pipe, as Greg Danseglio (St. Anthony's, LI Express Central) has offered his verbal commitment to the University of Virginia and coach Dom Starsia.
We confirmed this info via Greg's father Dennis this morning. He tells us that Greg chose the Cavaliers over other finalists like Harvard, Princeton, Maryland, North Carolina, Duke and Navy based upon the academic reputation of the school, lacrosse success in the ACC, and coach Starsia's being a honest 'family' type-guy. Danseglio was rated No. 15 in IL's recent recruiting issue list of rising juniors, behind only Stephen Jahelka (Garden City, NY - No. 8 overall) and Brian Sullivan (Bishop Timon-St. Jude, NY - No. 10) in the defensive ratings.
If there's any question Danseglio is taking his lacrosse career seriously, consider the fact that he has stopped playing football in order to concentrate on his academics and work with a personal trainer as well as avoid potential injury that could derail his future at UVa. He also plans on playing in some of the upcoming fall recruiting tournaments to keep his game sharp prior to the spring season with the Friars.
