[JURIST] New York Times researcher Zhao Yan [JURIST news archive] was released as anticipated [JURIST report] from a Chinese prison early Saturday after serving three years for fraud. He was reunited with his family and thanked those who had worked for his release. Zhao was formally indicted [JURIST report] in December 2005 after a 2004 New York Times report [text] revealed the resignation of Jiang Zemin as head of the Chinese military before it was formally announced by the government. The charges were dropped in March 2006, but Chinese authorities continued to detain Zhao and later reinstated the charges, a process which Chinese officials maintained was legal [JURIST reports]. A Chinese court ultimately convicted Zhao of taking $2,500 from a village official, but the state secrets counts against him were dismissed. Human rights groups and journalism advocacy organizations criticized the proceedings against Zhao for being politically motivated and without merit [CPJ alert]. During his trial, Zhaos lawyers were not allowed to call witnesses on his behalf or permitted to cross-examine witnesses for the prosecution. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] A former official in the Chechen government has been arrested in connection with the murder of Russian journalist and rights activist Anna Politkovskaya [JURIST news archive], Russian media reported Saturday. The Komsomolskaya Pravda [media website] tabloid reported that Shamil Burayev, a one-time district head in the southern Russian republic of Chechnya, had been arrested by police Thursday and is suspected of "organizing a murder." RFE/RL has more. Politkovskaya, who had covered the crisis in Chechnya for Novaya Gazeta [media website, in Russian] since 1999, was shot in the head and in the chest after returning to her Moscow apartment building one day last October. She was a well known critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and authored two books on Chechnya. Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika [official website, in Russian] announced last month that Russian authorities had arrested ten people after an investigation into the killing; two of those were later released [JURIST reports]. Chaika says that Politkovskaya's murder was orchestrated by a Moscow-based Chechen criminal group specializing in contract killings.
[JURIST] Alberto Gonzales [JURIST news archive] bade farewell to public service Friday, officially leaving the US Justice Department [official website] after a stormy 2 1/2 years as Attorney General. Gonzales resigned [JURIST report] late last month in the midst of controversy surrounding the firings of several US Attorneys and subsequent allegations that he may have perjured himself in testimony on the matter before Congress. Gonzales had indicated that his resignation would take effect September 17 [JURIST report]. In his last public speech [text] at DC's Bolling Air Force Base as part of its Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, Gonzales stressed his Justice Department initiatives against violent crime, child sex abuse, and terrorism, but insisted that he left office with optimism:
Over the past two and a half years, I have seen tyranny, dishonesty, corruption and depravity of types I never thought possible. I've seen things I didn't know man was incapable of.But I will tell you here and now that these things still leave me hopeful. Because every time I see a glimmer of the evil man can do, I see the defenders of liberty, truth, and justice who stand ready to fight it.
[JURIST] President Bush Friday signed what he described as a "minimal" ethics reform bill [press release] designed to force lawmakers to disclose pet projects and divulge more details about campaign contributions. The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 [PDF text] was passed last month in the Senate after being approved in the House [JURIST reports] in late July. Hailed [press release] by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) as the "toughest lobbying and ethics reform in generations," it requires congressmen to flag their support of earmarks [JURIST report] - targeted spending programs - and disclose donations from lobbyists who "bundle" donations totaling over $15,000. The legislation also strips pensions from lawmakers found guilty of bribery or perjury.In his signing remarks, Bush said the new law had consistency problems, could pose problems for presidential campaigns by incumbents, and did not go far enough on earmarks:
The legislation includes minimal improvements in the area of disclosure, both for lobbying and earmarks. But there is still more to be done -- and I will work with the Congress to improve upon this legislation. For example, the bill holds members of the Senate and Executive Branch employees to a much higher standard of conduct than members of the House. The specific bill language is confusing, and I believe these increased restrictions would have a negative impact on recruitment and retention of federal employees. I urge the Congress to make these standards more uniform and less confusing and to do so in a way that will not discourage public service. In addition, this bill would have the effect of unreasonably burdening sitting President's and Vice President's reelection campaigns. I look forward to working with Congress to amend these provisions to provide a reasonable process for allocating the cost of Presidential and Vice Presidential campaign travel that is consistent with security needs. I am pleased that the Congress has begun to make progress in bringing greater transparency to the earmarking process. However, this bill falls far short of the reform that American taxpayers deserve. I am concerned that there are potential loopholes in some of the earmark reforms included in this bill that would allow earmarks to escape sufficient scrutiny. This legislation also does not address other earmark reforms I have called on Congress to implement, such as ending the practice of putting earmarks in report language.

In Search, and Support, of Everyday Mom Cave Moments
November 13, 2010
Sasha (my editor—hi Sasha!) here at Parenting.com dreamed a little dream of a "mom cave" this week, detailing the (impressively few, and well-selected) requirements that would make up her own perfect personal space (FYI, a mom cave is a part of one's home for a mom to call her own and do what she wants with – it's a mom's version of a man cave). Like Sasha, my living space is too small to accommodate the real thing— after moving from Brooklyn, I'm feeling lucky to even have closet space to speak of—but I'm still drooling at the very idea of it.
Being suddenly stripped of personal time and space has, for me, been the most challenging part of becoming a parent. Of course, this particular challenging aspect has had its big reward; I've discovered that I am flexible, adaptable and efficient in ways I never could have imagined before babyman arrived. There's been value, too, in realizing that life will go on if I don't take a shower every morning, if I don't get to my 'plans' exactly when I planned to. Letting go in this way hasn't always been fun, per se, but it's been an important part of growing up in earnest; there is a little person in my life who matters to me more than my plans do.
That being said, I firmly believe that taking care of others begins with taking care of oneself. Letting go (of planning, of control) is helpful to a certain extent, but letting myself go sometimes feels like a looming threat in the face of life's current intensity... 'Letting oneself go' is a distasteful turn of phrase, I know, but I'm not talking about sweat pants and waistlines here.
I count myself lucky to have successfully shifted my life and work schedules to facilitate my active daily engagement in Kaspar's daily babyhood, and to have a husband who supports my goals in all spheres and who's a hands-on, awesome dad (we're doing without childcare at the moment, though we're planning to get something going part time once Kaspar's a year old). Still, we are unbelievably busy, and when the unexpected comes up (family-felling stomach bugs, big-break work projects we'd be crazy not to take, a wide-awake kiddo at 2 a.m.), it's my efforts at self-care that are first to go so that the rest can fit its way back in. Needless to say, the unexpected comes up a lot, and I end up feeling frustratingly shafted.
I know myself well enough to know that I need to make sure that I get at least some exercise sometimes, that I shower at least mostly every morning, that I do something mindless or mindful for at least a few minutes here and there throughout the week. If I don't… well, it's not a good scene. So I aim for maintenance. But sometimes I want to crawl into my imaginary mom-cave, which is way more pimped out than Sasha's is, and really take a load off. My (again, imaginary) mom cave includes all kinds of indulgences that bear no resemblance to my post-baby life: an on-call massage therapist who won't work for fewer than two hours at a stretch, a large claw-foot bathtub, the last nine months of The New Yorker pumped into the room via audio podcast (as read by Johnny Depp), lots of chocolate, lots of champagne… And an implausible giant pause button, so I can return to the rest of my life—which I love— truly recharged, and not having missed a beat.
I've gotten several massages since Kaspar was born, but they're a real time commitment (totally worth it, when I can swing it), and not an everyday luxury. I think I've only had one deliberately relaxing bath in the last nine months… and I like taking baths. I am therefore, as of this moment, aspiring to take more relaxing baths, at which time I will also thumb through our stack of New Yorkers. In fact, while the mom cave may be mere fantasy, I think its appeal signals something more significant. The decompression strategies that most of us cultivated before becoming mamas often simply don't fit well into our lives with little ones. Yet caring for ourselves has become that much more necessary—not only do we have more to do, and less time to do it in (which is stressful), we're also raising up small, important people who benefit enormously from our being balanced, present and sane. Thus the need arises for realistic recharge mechanisms that can become regular habits (stuff that's easier to incorporate than those large "I'm going for it!" indulgences, which will always rock and should never be abandoned entirely). But... where do we start?
What little mom-cave moments do you work into your everyday life to keep yourself balanced and treated right? Bubble baths/a chocolate stash? Five-minute Pilates workouts? US magazine? (Norah M., I totally get it now). I'm looking forward to hearing about the good-- and indulgently bad-- habits that keep you happy and healthy in mamahood.

Posted by: Amanda Schnieders on September 04, 2013 Source: e360 Blog
Thriving entrepreneurial hot spots do not just pop up overnight. It takes more than a few growing startups to turn a city intro a hub of entrepreneurial activity. This thought is confirmed by a new Kauffman Foundation white paper entitled "Path-Dependent Startup Hubs – Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density".
What researchers have found is "new startup hubs actually have been fostering a culture of entrepreneurship for some time. Many of these cities have a history of strong technology sectors or experienced strong growth among technology startups over the past two decades." This idea is not ground-breaking. We've come to realize the long road it takes to create an entrepreneurial community. As Brad Feld says, "It's a 20-year journey to build a prosperous startup community, but not just from today. It's 20 years from tomorrow, and the next day and the next month". It's a never-ending goal.
What this paper does clarify is the idea that milestones, such as the installation of something like Google Fiber, is not a foundation for entrepreneurship, but rather a catalyst that ignites the logs that have been building the startup hub fire. So new programs to promote and foster entrepreneurship have actually been made possible by the underlying strength of the tech sector that has been mounting for several decades in cities like Seattle, Boise, Portland and Kansas City. This combined with the talent of the region have made things such as 1 Million Cups, the Big 5 Initiative to make "KC America's Most Entrepreneurial City" and the Kansas City Startup Village possible and accepted in the metropolitan area.
The paper further notes that these cities' emerging ecosystems owe a lot of their success to "years of spinoffs and entrepreneurial spawning". This means a lot of startup activity can be attributed to already existing companies that have generated startup spinoffs and innovative ventures over the past decade. Economic geographer Heike Mayer shows us this in her research of spinoff regions, mapping the likes of Seattle, Portland, Boise and Kansas City.
Does this account for all startup activity? Of course not. But it does make sense considering the average age of an entrepreneur is somewhere between 35 and 45. Yes, this breaks the stereotypically thought of hoodie-wearing, college grad or drop out norm, but is in fact true and explains age distribution in the report when you think that the startups formed out of spinoffs are likely founded by someone with a "previous job in a big company or institution".
Rome wasn't built in a day. And neither is a great startup hub. It takes time and dedication by both the existing corporate structure and innovative newcomers and champions of the entrepreneurial culture. Together, on a united 20 year journey, a hub can start to form, propelled by milestones and catalysts of new technologies and opportunities.

How to really listen
We all need to have a "listening" tune-up from time-to-time. Today's reading "How to Really Listen" serves that purpose. The article is from the Harvard Business Review Blogs and was written by Peter Bergman, author ("Get the Right Things Done") and strategic advisor to CEOs and their leadership teams.
Listening is hard, one or the hardest of the routine things we have to do each day.
It's so hard because we have to actually listen. That means stopping all the multitasking - email, surfing, making a list, thinking about what you are going to say next. You have to focus on what the other person is saying and don't interrupt, let them finish their thought.
We can demonstrate that we are listening by repeating back what we heard. It sounds silly. But it communicates to the person that he or she has been heard. This also gives you a brief moment to organize your thoughts and form a question to continue the discussion.
Your open-ended questions should explore the other individual's thoughts and feelings so that you can see the issue more clearly. This is not a time to prove your point. It's a time for you to better understand what's going on so that you allow your conversation partner to go deeper in what she cares about.
Listening is not agreeing. It, in and of itself, doesn't force any particular action on anyone's part. But, you will increase everyone's understanding of the issue. And, that's good.
So, as you go about your day, really listen. You'll find it really improves your conversations.

As a 13-year Fender veteran and son of longtime Fender R&D legend Dan Smith, Jason grew up on Fender—"It's always been in my family," he said, "And I was always extremely interested in everything my father did."
Born in Rochester, N.Y., and raised in California, Smith remembers meeting guitar deities from about age five on through his father's work with Fender—Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jeff Beck and Robben Ford, to name only a few. He went to his first big rock concert at age six—Rush—and Smith remembers going backstage with his dad and meeting Geddy Lee after the show. Before he was even in his teens, Smith was going to see Pink Floyd, ZZ Top and many other major artists.
Rock music and Fender are simply part of his DNA. Smith joined the Fender Custom Shop in 1995, and in 2006 completed a 5-year apprenticeship under acclaimed Senior Master Builder John English. Among many diverse projects with English, Smith worked on a pair of double-neck Stratocaster® guitars for Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean DeLeo.
Smith is an accomplished bass guitarist who brings a player's sensibility to his work in the Custom Shop in addition to his expertise as a builder. With the Master Builder title that he's strived for over so many years now his, he's eager to start taking orders—after all, Fender is practically in his blood.
"I've always loved it," Smith said. "And it feels great that I've reached the goal that I've worked toward for five years in apprenticeship, and the eight years before that."

The Floria Geological Survey maintains an active Education and Outreach Program in keeping with its mission to collect, interpret, and provide objective quality geologic information about Florida. Florida's geology is unique; topics that may be explored from this portal provide an exciting introduction to our fascinating and fragile natural heritage. Videos available to teachers make the sometimes unusual and often wonderful world of Florida geology easily accessible to students. In addition, the FGS hosts an annual Open House in celebration of Earth Science Week that features tours of our facility and interactive earth science activities for students from ages K-12. Home schooling parents and their children are our special guests at this event. The FGS also sends geologists to speak to local schools on a staff available basis. See Resources for Teachers.
We continued our tradition of Scout Night at 6:00 pm on Wednesday evening, October 12th with an event that assists local Webelos Scouts in obtaining their geology badge.
The final event for ESW was a tour of the Leon Sinks Geological Area in the Apalachicola National Forest southwest of Tallahassee at 9 am Saturday, October 15th.

David Wilson benched following two costly fumbles against Cowboys
David Wilson's 2012 season began rather inauspiciously when the then-rookie running back fumbled in a 24-17 loss against Dallas. Wilson spent the next 13 or so weeks just trying to work his way back into the Giants' running back rotation, which he only really managed to accomplish after Andre Brown broke his leg in late November.
This year was supposed to be different. With Brown again sidelined by a leg injury and longtime Giant Ahmad Bradshaw in Indianapolis, Wilson entered 2013 as the unquestioned top dog in New York's backfield.
But another matchup with Dallas, and another nightmare for Wilson, may leave the Giants seeking out other options in the coming days.
Wilson was benched in favor of Da'Rel Scott during the Giants' Sunday night game with the Cowboys, after the second-year back coughed up a pair of fumbles and whiffed on a key block, allowing a sack of Eli Manning. The sack came two plays after New York's Ryan Mundy picked off a Tony Romo pass and returned it to the Dallas 1. As Manning dropped to throw, George Selvie came through off the right side of the Giants' line and managed to sidestep a flailing Wilson for a free shot at the QB.
For as poor as that effort was, though, the pair of turnovers were far more damaging. The first came on a 1st-and-goal from the Dallas' 8 and killed a promising Giants drive. The second resulted in a Cowboys touchdown, when Barry Church scooped up the loose ball and raced to the end zone.
Ironically enough, Wilson really started to cement his status as the Giants' go-to back after a Brown fumble in the team's preseason opener.
"You could be in the doghouse for a while if you put that ball on the ground here," Brown admitted after that miscue, per the New York Daily News.
The Giants believed that Wilson had put his error-prone ways in the past — and with Brown on injured reserve for at least eight weeks, they had almost no choice but to keep that faith.
Scott, Brown's fill-in on Sunday night, had all of 25 yards on 11 rush attempts over his first two NFL seasons. So even if Wilson works his way back into the starting lineup, the Giants could check out the free-agent market, where names like Willis McGahee, Michael Turner and Kevin Smith lurk; or they could go searching for a trade to add some depth.
Regardless of what's next, this certainly isn't where the Giants planned to be one game into the season. Wilson may have a bright future ahead of him as an NFL running back, but he has much more work to do to earn Coughlin's trust.
"Don't think for a second I'm down on myself," Wilson tweeted Monday. "everything happens for a reason I'm too blessed; wouldn't be life if I didn't have no obstacles."

Product Reviews |
Bowlers Journal: Published with Permission from Bowlers Journal |
Core Design: The Favorite and Long Shot share this low RG (2.48), fast-revving core. The 4" flaring symmetric core has a Diff of .040, which will hide some release errors while providing fast, smooth revs. |
Coverstock: The ball's black solid reactive cover is sanded with a 2000-grit Abralon. Its strength is rated at S57, which is above average, especially at this price point. Response time off dry was moderately slow, yet oil traction was above average. |
Manufacturer's Intent: "We wanted to create a ball that would fit into almost any bowler's bag at an affordable price," said 900 Global's Eric Thomas. "We increased the overall hook potential for this price point with a coverstock of S57. Bowlers will find astrong solid that starts in the mid-lane, but has plenty of continuation to finish aggressively and predictably downlane." |
Test Results: The Favorite is a benchmark type arcing ball that will rarely fool the individual throwing it. Its aggressive cover and moderately strong core rewards bowlers with a good mid-lane reading and a controlled move downlane. It reminded me of a smoother motioning Break (October 2007 BJI), but with a touch more total hook. Carry power was especially good on fresh THS and wet/dry side-to-side ratios. Its strong mid-lane will suit many speed-dominant players providing there's no excessive midlane oil. Polishing the surface increased the length two feet or so, and increased its angularity in the backend. The Favorite will tell you rather quickly if a stronger or weaker nugget is needed, thus making it an important ball in anyone's arsenal. |
When to Use: This ball has medium hook potential, medium breakpoint angularity coupled with control and readability. Bowlers using a limited arsenal could choose the Favorite and Long Shot and stand a fighting chance on 90% of the conditions a typical league bowler would encounter. The Favorite will match up best on medium to medium-heavy oil volumes, as well as longer patterns. The pearlized counterpart, Long Shot, would match up when added length and pop are warranted. |

Try these ideas:
- go to Settings and turn on Airplane mode for at least 15 seconds if fixed, yeah - if not, go to Settings / WiFi / and hit the Right arrow next to your wifi network. Tap the "Forget This Network" button. - next, Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. and of course, for good measure, turn off the iPad and restart... See if these help... if not, go to McDonalds or somewhere with free WiFi to see if it works there... then contact Apple. |

Las Vegas — Are you a huge fan of the gritty police drama, "The Shield"? If so, for $2.99 beginning in March, you can beat your neighbors to the punch at the water cooler after you watch a pre-air broadcast of the FX Network show.
"The Shield," "Rescue Me" and other FX Network shows will air 24 to 48 hours before their regularly scheduled times via DirecTV. This was just one of the new features DirecTV, the No. 1 satellite TV service, unveiled at a press conference, here. The announcement was made by News Corp. president Peter Chernin (News Corp is the parent company of DirecTV, the FOX Network and other media properties). Chernin waxed poetic about CES, saying for the first time, "The content and consumer electronics industries are finally coming together."
Along with FX pre-air programming, DirecTV subscribers can also watch five series from the FOX Broadcasting for 99 cents each, six to seven days following their national airing. This feature will be available later this year.
In March, DirecTV will also offer viewers the opportunity to download shows from NBC Networks for 99 cents commercial free. Consumers can choose from shows on NBC, USA, Sci-Fi and Bravo networks. In order to access this content from Fox and NBC, subscribers will need the new DirecTV PlusDVR.
At a wide-ranging new conference, DirecTV president Chase Carey reported his company is making excellent progress on the financial front, has launched three satellites for additional capacity — particularly for HD programming — started broadcasting high-definition locals to 16 select markets, introduced a new line of MPEG-4 receivers as well as signed with XM Satellite Radio to deliver 70 music channels.
In late November, DirecTV began beaming local HD stations to Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and San Francisco. They were followed by Boston, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and Washington. The company expects to be in 36 markets by midyear, covering almost 60 percent of U.S. TV households. The company delivers local feeds of ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC.
Later in 2006 Carey said the satellite service would start DirecTV2Go, a new service that lets consumers transfer programming from their DirecTV Plus DVR to portable media players from Humax, Thomson and Polaroid. The players have 20GB HDD and 4-inch LCD screens.

Aubrey Natural Missst Herbal Hairspray Super Hold -- 8 fl oz
Great for Frizz
I LOVE this hairspray! I had been buying it at a local store for quite a bit more, so when I found it on Vitacost for cheaper, I was thrilled. I buy the Extra strong and water it down halfway. Works great and I feel less guilty spending so much:D
I have curly hair that likes to frizz up. I spray it on after taking a shower, brush it through my hair with my fingers, and let it dry. Instead of making my hair feel crunchy, it makes it shiny and soft:)

Solid alternative to toxic hair spray
I had to kiss a lot of frogs finding a hairspray that works on my big hair that wasn't toxic. I used to use Loreal Studio line mega spray so I like my hair to STAY PUT and be a bit crispy.
This product isn't exactly the same thank goodness, but it works well, doesn't make my hair feel dirty. Very pleased.

This product works great for me.
Aubrey Natural Missst Herbal Hairspray Super Hold is a great product. It holds my hair in place all day and a little goes a long way. I searched for a product like Aubrey in several stores and didn't think I'd find a product that would work for me until a friend told me about Vitacost. Thank you Vitacost.

Too messy
I didn't like this hairspray because when you spray it, it makes the floor very sticky and puts a coating on the countertop. It also puts shiny spots on the wall behind me as well as on the picture there.

super hold
This product only takes a little and holds well. Make sure your hair is where you want it tho--once it dries it is molded and you can't move it again. The down side is that it feels stiff. Stays better in humidity than other sprays I have tried.

It doesn't take one long to figure out who the whipping boys are among Tigers fans: Brandon Inge when he doesn't hit, and Daniel Schlereth when he doesn't get the out. So when Schlereth was called into the game in the ninth inning and didn't immediately put the third out on the board, it wasn't really hard to see what was coming next: the rage of a thousand Tigers fans scorned. (Just look at Twitter if you dare. You probably shouldn't. )
If you want the nuts-and-bolts recap, check out the snap reaction:
Rays 4, Tigers 2
Detroit led Tampa, 2-0, through eight innings. Justin Verlander allowed one hit and one walk. He had a pitch count of 81. Verlander returned to the mound to go for the complete game.
Absolutely the right decision by manager Jim Leyland there. On opening day, Verlander threw 106 pitches at the same point. There was no compelling reason to send him out to the mound in his first game after spring training, knowing that he'd probably hit 120 pitches by the time the game ended. With a much-lower pitch count, the situation was completely different on Wednesday. It just didn't work out.
Verlander allowed three hits and a walk while getting just one out in the top of the ninth. His day ended with a 2-2 tie, two base runners on, no chance at winning the game and in need of help from his bullpen and/or batters to avoid getting tagged with a loss in a game that had began so well.
While things unraveled for Verlander, Schlereth and Jose Valverde warmed up in the bullpen. The latter because he's the closer. The former because Leyland likely wanted someone who could get left-handed batters out. He makes for a good LOOGY. Left-handers don't hit particularly well (.212 BA) nor with particular much power (.151 ISO) -- though like everyone else they let Schlereth beat himself and take a walk. Lefty Matt Joyce was due to hit. Schlereth came out of the bullpen. Switch-hitter Elliot Johnson came up. If Leyland knew the splits, he knew Johnson doesn't bat particularly well against anyone. So it seemed a safe bet to use Schlereth here, even if Valverde would have been a better choice. Schlereth walked him. Bases loaded. Still one out.
Valverde came in to face Ben Zobrist. Valverde got ahead of him at 2-2, but Zobrist took the seventh fastball offering of the at bat up the middle, a bit out of reach of Ramon Santiago, to score two runs. 4-2, Rays. Still one out.
Valverde got out of the inning a few minutes later, but the damage was done. The Tigers went quietly in the ninth off former closer Fernando Rodney.
So I return to Schlereth's role as the whipping boy. It's unfounded. He played a part. But so did the Valverde, who couldn't get out of the inning and allowed two runs. So did Verlander, who though magnificent through eight was anything but dominant in the ninth and allowed four base runners. I don't like this whipping boy business, as a rule, and I especially don't like it when fans aren't even putting the loss on the right shoulders. The loss really isn't the fault of the guy who put one runner on. If you're going to flog Schlereth, flog the rest, too.
In the end, a loss is a loss. It's not that big a deal. It's baseball. Expect, at the minimum, another 60 or so to occur.
Verlander through eight innings.

Medications and DrugsBrand Names: KneeReliefGeneric Name: acetaminophen, caffeine, and magnesium salicylate (Pronunciation: ah seet oh MIN oh fen, KAF een, mag NEEZ ee um sa LIS il ate)
What is acetaminophen, caffeine, and magnesium salicylate (KneeRelief)?Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. Caffeine is used in this product to increase the pain relieving effects of acetaminophen. Magnesium salicylate is used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. The combination of acetaminophen, caffeine, and magnesium salicylate is used to treat pain and swelling from conditions such as muscle aches, arthritis, and joint soreness. Acetaminophen, caffeine, and magnesium salicylate may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide. What are the possible side effects of acetaminophen, caffeine, and magnesium salicylate (KneeRelief)?Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
Less serious side effects may include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. What is the most important information I should know about acetaminophen, caffeine, and magnesium salicylate (KneeRelief)?Magnesium salicylate should not be given to a child or teenager who has a fever, especially if the child also has flu symptoms or chicken pox. A salicylate can cause a serious and sometimes fatal condition called Reye's syndrome in children. Tell your doctor if you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day or if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis). You may not be able to take medication that contains acetaminophen. Stop taking this medication and call your doctor if you have a fever lasting longer than 3 days, or pain lasting longer than 10 days. Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can cause damage to your liver. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day. If you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day, do not take acetaminophen without your doctor's advice, and never take more than 2 grams (2000 mg) of acetaminophen per day. Do not drink alcohol while you are taking acetaminophen, caffeine, and magnesium salicylate. Alcohol can increase your risk of liver damage or stomach bleeding while you are taking this medication. Tell your doctor if you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medication that contains acetaminophen. Do not use any other pain or fever medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as "APAP"), caffeine, and magnesium salicylate are contained in many combination medicines. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of a certain drug. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains acetaminophen, APAP, caffeine, or magnesium salicylate.

Dividend policy
At our 2011/12 full year results on 10 May 2012, we announced that our dividend policy for the 2012/13 to 2014/15 financial years is:
"As a result of our confidence in our ability to grow free cash flow, we intend to increase the dividend per share by 10%–15% per year for the next three years."
Futher information on dividends
Dividends are the share of a company's profits that it decides to pay to its shareholders. They are an important part of the return from investing in shares, in addition to any increase in the share price. Companies are under no obligation to pay dividends, but they usually choose to do so because dividends provide an incentive to invest in their shares.
Companies typically keep part of their profits back to expand the business and/or increase their reserves, and will then pay out the rest as a dividend. If companies have good investment opportunities, they will tend to keep more of their profits back for this purpose, reducing the amount available for dividends. So the amount of profit companies make and the alternative uses of its profits will help to determine the dividend.
The level of dividend also depends on the company's dividend policy. Many large companies - including BT Group - have a 'progressive' dividend policy, whereby dividends gradually increase as a percentage of profit, because this is what big institutional investors prefer.
Dividends are usually paid after the half-year and full-year financial results, although some companies pay quarterly. At this time, a company's board of directors will decide how much to pay per share. At the same time, the ex-dividend date, the record date and the payment date will be announced. The shares entitle the holder to receive a dividend up to the ex-dividend date. (The share price will fall by the amount of the dividend after this date: the shares 'go ex-dividend'.) The record date is when the company registrar determines who is entitled to receive the dividend: the 'beneficial owner'. The payment date is the date on which payment of the dividend is made to the beneficial owner.
When shareholders receive their dividend, they get a voucher that shows the dividend paid and a 10% 'tax credit'. Companies pay the dividend out of profits on which they have already paid, or are due to pay, tax. The tax credit takes account of this. Shareholder can offset the amount of the dividend plus the tax credit against any income tax they are due to pay.

Eleven people are in custody and seven more are being sought as part of an effort to take gang members and illegal guns off Omaha streets.
Local and federal authorities announced Friday the results of a nine-month investigation that they said targeted some of north Omaha's most violent gangs. Dubbed "Operation Wipe it Down" – street slang for the illegal exchange of guns – the sweep took aim at known gang members and those who helped arm them with handguns, rifles and shotguns.
Authorities said they have taken 45 guns off the streets and seized more than a pound of marijuana and about 72 grams of crack cocaine.
The investigation was conducted by ATF agents, the U.S. Attorney's Office and Omaha police. It is the second major operation of the year targeting purported gang members.
Last spring, police and federal agents rounded up nine suspected gang leaders as part of "Operation Purple Haze." All nine remain in custody.
The latest sweep began Thursday. More than 50 police officers and federal agents executed search warrants in neighborhoods across the city, knocking on doors and making arrests. Authorities at this point declined to specify where those arrested were located.

Animated Death Star T-Shirt (With Sound Effects!)
I know what I'm getting you for Christmas! Coal -- you were terrible this year. I don't care what crappy toy commercials you saw watching Spongebob on Saturday morning and added to your list, you're not getting them. If I were Santa I'd drop a big ol' bag of flaming reindeer pellets down your chimney and key your car. Unfortunately I'm not Santa, so I'm left trying to tranq dart enough reindeer to prevent him from getting airborne after visiting the house next door. THE PRESENT SACK IS MINE, FAT MAN! This is a $30 Death Star t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
The t-shirt will be able to light up a blast sequence that includes the superlaser powering-up and firing. Thanks to glowing EL technology and a white LED light for the final blast effect, it really does make the t-shirt come alive. Not content with just giving the illusion that it's charging up a laser and firing, but there will be sound effects accompanying it thanks to a wired speaker box that can be hidden under your shirt or in your pocket.
BOOM, a simple $30 gift for the Star Wars lover in your life. And speaking of Star Wars lovers -- I think we can all agree Han Solo was looking for love in Alderaan places. Get it? The man's a furry! "It's true, kid -- if it's hairy, I'm there-y." Ya sick, Han! Dreamy but sick.
Hit the jump for a WTF video of the shirt in action and a link to the ThinkGeek product site.

LAS VEGAS, BASKING RIDGE, N.J., and LUXEMBOURG, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- From the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Verizon Wireless and Skype said today that Skype mobile™ with video will soon be available on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network. This new version of Skype mobile from Verizon Wireless will be deeply integrated into a wide range of 4G smartphones to be available by mid-2011. With front- and rear-facing cameras, these Android-based 4G LTE smartphones will make it simple for customers to make Skype-to-Skype video calls over Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network.
Customers will be able to see and hear their friends and family when making or receiving Skype-to-Skype video calls on Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network, the fastest and most advanced 4G network in the nation. The new offer expands Skype's video calling capabilities for millions and provides a great video experience using the speed, low-latency and quality of Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE wireless network.
"Skype mobile with video is the kind of application that truly shows off what a 4G network can mean to consumers. Keeping in touch with friends and family will be more enjoyable because video calling over the fastest and most advanced 4G network is coming. Finally, using Skype mobile with video, 'you can see what I see, and I can see what you see' becomes reality, and it's because of the combination of Skype and Verizon Wireless – and our 4G LTE network," said Marni Walden, vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless.
"We heard the demand for mobile video calling loud and clear from our users and are delighted to meet this demand with a mobile video calling product that takes advantage of Verizon Wireless' new network in the U.S.," said Russ Shaw, general manager and vice president of Skype's Mobile Business Unit. "Skype mobile with video will enable Verizon Wireless and Skype users to share special moments face to face with those who matter most – from wherever they may be."
Consumer devices with a wide range of applications, including Skype mobile with video, are expected to be available by mid-2011. The low-latency of the 4G LTE network makes it ideal for video calling and chatting across the room to another wireless phone or around the world to a PC or Mac.
The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network, launched in December 2010, is the fastest, most advanced 4G network in the United States, providing speeds up to 10 times faster than Verizon Wireless' 3G network. Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network currently reaches one-third of all Americans, with plans to expand the network to the company's entire 3G coverage area over the next three years.
Skype mobile with video represents the next phase in the strategic relationship between the two companies, which began last year when Verizon Wireless and Skype launched the initial version of Skype mobile for Verizon Wireless customers. Skype mobile continues to provide customers with Skype-to-Skype voice calls over Verizon Wireless' leading network.
More details on Skype mobile with video will be available at CES in Verizon Wireless' booth (#35216 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center).
