Analysts say knee-jerk reaction
It was a rough day at the bourses for power stocks with the CAG report being tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Friday. The report pointed to a notional loss of Rs 1.86 lakh crore to the exchequer in allocation and usage of coal blocks, making it a bigger scam than the 2G scam pegged at Rs 1.70 lakh crore.
The 25 companies that were allocated coal and named in the report included Reliance Power (RPower), Tata Power, Jindal Steel and Hindalco.
Power, steel and infrastructure sector stocks were affected with Reliance Power taking the worst hit.
Undue benefit
In a separate report, the CAG said RPower got undue benefit of Rs 29,033 crore when the Government allowed use of surplus coal from blocks allotted to Sasan power plant for other projects. The scrip ended the day at Rs 87.70, down 5.85 per cent from its previous close on the NSE.
Other power stocks affected were Tata Power which closed at Rs 97.35 (down 3.85 per cent) and Adani Power which ended the day at Rs 42 (down 3.45 per cent).
Jindal Steel was down 4.29 per cent to close at Rs 401 and Hindalco fell 2.78 per cent to close at Rs 114.
Slams development fee
In an another report, CAG slammed the levy of development fee on passengers using Delhi Airport; the Civil Aviation Ministry violated bid conditions for the benefit of GMR-led DIAL to the tune of over Rs 3,415 crore, the report added. Shares of GMR Infra tanked over three per cent.
Analysts tracking the power sector attributed the fall in these stocks to a "sentimental reaction" since the findings of the CAG report were already known before.
Angel Broking Analyst Bhavesh Chauhan said: "It was a knee-jerk reaction that led to the fall in these stocks and they should bounce back soon unless the situation takes a new turn in the next two days and some concrete action is taken by the Government to review the existing allocation or future allocation of coal blocks."
"The uncertainty is bound to make both existing and potential investors nervous and sceptical and we expect the stock prices to remain muted in this sector," he added.

Developers today said they used a pair of unpatched vulnerabilities in Apple's iOS to "jailbreak" the iPhone and iPad, including the first-ever hack of the iPad 2.
Some security experts immediately said the unfixed flaw -- and the fact it's essentially been released into the wild for miscreants to exploit -- posed a danger to iPhone and iPad owners.
[ iPhone, BlackBerry, or Android? Whatever handheld you use or manage, turn to InfoWorld for the latest developments. Subscribe to InfoWorld's Mobilize newsletter today. ]
"If they exploited the same vulnerability in a copy-cat maneuver, cyber criminals could create booby-trapped Web pages that could -- if visited by an unsuspecting iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad owner -- run code on visiting devices," warned Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant with U.K.-based Sophos, in a blog post.
"All eyes now turn to Apple to see how quickly it can secure its users," said Cluley. "Leaving a security hole like this open is simply inviting malicious hackers to exploit it."
"Jailbreaking" refers to hacking iOS to allow an iPhone or iPad to install software not sanctioned by Apple and not distributed through its official App Store channel.
To jailbreak an iOS device, users must visit the JailbreakMe website with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch running the current version of iOS, then install JailbreakMe 3.0.
The hack was released by a team led by someone identified only as "comex" and is the latest in a string of exploits that have circumvented Apple's App Store-only model, including one issued by the same group last August, just weeks after Apple rolled out iOS 4.
Ten days after JailbreakMe 2.0's 2010 debut, Apple patched the two vulnerabilities used by comex.
Charlie Miller, the only person to win prizes four years running at the Pwn2Own hacking contest and a principal research consultant for Denver-based Accuvant, said it was likely Apple would react quickly to the newest jailbreak.
"This one is a remote code executable vulnerability," said Miller of one of the two bugs exploited by JailbreakMe 3.0. "Apple will probably patch this in a couple of weeks at the most."
Like Cluley, Miller was concerned by the bugs and exploits. "They're certainly a threat, and would be easy to make malicious," he said.
Miller also noted that because comex released a patch for the vulnerabilities at the same time as JailbreakMe 3.0, the situation wasn't serious. "For anyone worried about security, they can jailbreak their iPhone and then apply the patch," Miller said.
Comex published the fix, dubbed "PDF Patcher 2," on the Cydia app store, a popular site for downloading applications that run only on jailbroken iOS devices.

Price is Right; Men's Soccer Beats No. 5 Ohio State, 1-0
Eagles pick up second win against a nationally-ranked program
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Freshman Ryan Price's (Melbourne Beach, Fla./Melbourne HS) goal in the 64th minute of play broke a scoreless tie and sent the FGCU men's soccer team to a dramatic 1-0 win over No. 5 Ohio State on Saturday evening in front of a record-breaking crowd of 1,322 fans at the FGCU Soccer Complex in the final game of the Embassy Suites Kick-Off Classic.
The freshmen duo of Price and Donovan Henry (Parkland, Fla./Stoneman Douglas HS) connected on the goal that gave the Eagles their second win over a ranked opponent this season. Henry's pass from the right side of the field made its way towards the near post where Price sprawled out for the diving header.
Redshirt junior Adam Glick (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley HS) and the FGCU defense made the shutout stand, as the keeper made four saves in the dramatic win for his 17th career victory in net. The shutout was the 10th of Glick's career.
"The thing I was most impressed with was our maturity when Ohio State pressed us in the second half and I'm really proud of the way the guys handled that pressure," said fourth-year head coach Bob Butehorn, who has the Eagles on a six-game unbeaten streak at home dating back to last year. "Both teams found the post a couple of times, but Adam (Glick) came up with a couple of big saves for us again tonight and we were able to come away with the win. Also, the crowd tonight was tremendous. Seeing all the fans and students that came out for the match really gave us a big boost and I want to thank them all for their support."
The win improves FGCU to 3-2-2, while Ohio State slips to 4-2 and suffers its first two-game losing streak since falling to No. 1 Akron and No. 25 Northwestern last year. The Eagles have now defeated three BCS teams in program history (USF, Penn State) and own two of the three wins by an A-Sun school over a BCS opponent this year.
The Buckeyes nearly got on the board just under four minutes into the game when Omar Vallejo broke through the FGCU defense and fired a shot from inside the goal box into the waiting arms of Glick.
The early scoring chance by OSU seemed to wake up the FGCU offense, as back-to-back shots by Price and sophomore Deion Jones (Tampa, Fla./Freedom HS) in the 12th and 14th minute, respectively, nearly got the home team on the board. Price created his own scoring opportunity off an Ohio State giveaway, but his shot from 18 yards out sailed high. Jones' shot came off a free kick just outside the right side of the goal box and was headed toward the upper part of the net before Ohio State keeper Matt Lampson made the first of his two saves in the period.
Lampson kept the Eagles and Jones off the board again in the 28th minute when the sophomore defender nearly put home a shot off a nice drop-pass from classmate Andres Navas (Miami, Fla./Sunset Senior HS/FIU).
It was Glick's turn in the 34th minute to continue the strong goalie play, as the Leola, Pa. native turned away Vallejo for the second time. Vallejo executed a nice give-a-go with Matt Gold, but was unable to beat Glick.
The score remained 0-0 at the break with the Buckeyes holding a slight 6-5 edge in shots, while both teams had two shots on goal.
The FGCU offense set the tone early in the second half and nearly had two goals over a chaotic opening stretch that saw the Eagles fire four shots on goal over a three-minute stretch. The first opportunity came when sophomore Jeremy Vollmer (Carmel, Ind./Westfield HS) blasted a shot off the post and Price put home the rebound, but was called offside by the linesman. Price came up just short again in the 62nd minute, as the freshman forward beat the OSU keeper on another rebound, but the ball was cleared off the goal line by a Buckeye defender.
The third time was the charm, though, for Price, as the freshman found the back of the net for his second career goal. The assist was the first point of Henry's career.
A rough and physical contest brewed throughout the second half in a game that featured 28 fouls and five yellow cards.
Ohio State's best chance to tie the game came in the 84th minute when Sam Scales shot hit the crossbar and Austin McAnena's rebound attempt was turned away by a diving Glick. The rebound off Scales' shot caromed into the middle of the goal box where McAnena ripped a shot that was blocked by Glick moving to his left.
The Buckeyes generated the final shot of the game at the 88:27 mark when Konrad Warzycha, who entered the tournament on a three-game scoring streak, placed a shot on net for Glick's fourth and final save.
For the game, FGCU held a 14-13 advantage in shots and a 4-3 edge in corner kicks.
No. 24 USF picked up its second win of the weekend in the first game of the day, defeating Drexel, 1-0. The loss was the first of the season for the Dragons (4-1-1) while USF also improved to 4-1-1 with its only loss coming to FGCU in the season opener.
The Eagles will close out the non-conference portion of its schedule on Friday, Sept. 24 against FIU. Kick-off at the FGCU Soccer Complex is set for 7 p.m.

Patton to have season-ending surgery
O's lefty to undergo procedure to repair a small labrum tear
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The final tests have been read and the uncertain nature of Troy Patton's shoulder injury has been settled. The southpaw was examined earlier in the week by team orthopedist John Wilckens, and the Orioles have decided that Patton will be best served by a corrective surgery designed to repair a small tear in his left labrum.
Andy MacPhail, Baltimore's president of baseball operations, described his conversation with Wilckens on Friday.
"He's given me the old good news/bad news scenario," he said. "The bad news is he thinks he has to have the shoulder taken care of. The good news is he liked what he saw when he went in there, by and large, and he's very optimistic that he can have a full recovery and be ready by '09. Looking at the whole picture, that's what I anticipated.
"If we can get him back to full strength by '09, that's fine by what I was hoping to accomplish."
Patton, who was acquired from Houston as one of the main pieces in the Miguel Tejada trade, has been limited for the early portion of Spring Training. He went four months without throwing the ball this winter in an attempt to rehabilitate the injury but wasn't able to get loose or shake the pain during his first few bullpen sessions this spring.
The former ninth-round pick knew he had a serious injury, but never really gave up hope that he'd pitch this year.
"I knew I wasn't coming back soon," said Patton, who has a 27-28 record and a 3.01 ERA in 82 Minor League games. "My arm felt bad enough. I knew I was going to be out at least a month if I had to rehab it and not get surgery. I knew something was wrong. I just didn't know if it was going to be surgery or not."
The 22-year-old is slated to see noted orthopedic specialist Lewis Yocum for a final opinion, but team officials expect a largely similar diagnosis and an operation slated for sometime before the end of the month. Patton will likely be out at least six months and perhaps as many as nine, but he should be ready to pitch by Spring Training next season.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
"It's kind of disappointing to miss the season," he said, acknowledging the obvious but allowing for a small bit of relief. "But I'm kind of anxious to get it over with and hopefully feel better and pitch better next season, have a little bit more velocity than I've been pitching with, and I'm looking forward to feeling good throwing a baseball."
MacPhail noted that he's known about the injury since before he swung the trade and indicated that the recommendation for surgery isn't as bad as it sounds. The doctors are optimistic, he said, that Patton should return to health. And as one part of a five-player haul for Tejada, MacPhail said he'd do the trade all over again even if he knew the extent of the injury.
"It's pretty much, again, what I expected," he said. "Sometimes you've got to go the high-risk, high-reward type deal. I could've had a different player in there, but [Patton is] 22, left-handed and already worked his way to the big leagues. I can wait. I'm alright with that. And I think sometimes you need to swing for the fences as part of a deal. I'm obviously very satisfied with the way the other guys from that deal have handled themselves so far in spring. No regrets from my standpoint."
Baltimore also received right-handed pitchers Matt Albers and Dennis Sarfate, infielder Mike Costanzo and outfielder Luke Scott in the trade. Scott is expected to serve as the team's starting left fielder, and both Albers and Sarfate are considered main competitors for a bullpen job. Costanzo, a power-hitting third baseman, may need some time at Triple-A.
"That's the beauty of getting five players. You can take some chances," said MacPhail. "I could've substituted somebody else. We moved a lot of names around. But in the end, if he comes back next year, he's 23 and left-handed and Baseball America's 78th best prospect in the game. I'll take it."

Police broke the rules 23 times
5:30am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Scott D'Arcy
WILTSHIRE Police officers and staff have breached data protection laws 23 times in the last five years.
According to figures obtained by the Press Association under the Freedom of Information Act there were 2,031 breaches of the Data Protection Act across the 35 forces in England and Wales that responded between January 2009 and October 2013.
Breaches could include officers or staff accessing confidential and personal information or running unauthorised background checks and nationwide more than 100 staff were sacked and nearly 200 resigned as a result.
The Wiltshire force, the oldest constabulary in the country, ranked joint 10th of 35 for the lowest number of breaches, while neighbouring force Avon and Somerset Constabulary reported the highest number of incidents, 289.
A spokesman for Wiltshire Police was unable to confirm the disciplinary consequences of the breaches locally.
He said: "If an allegation of a breach in data protection occurs, the appropriate manager would firstly assess whether what had been done constituted a criminal offence and/or a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour (for police officers) or Police Staff Code of Conduct.
"They would then allocate it to an investigator, a Regulation 15 Notice (for officers) or letter from HR (for staff) would be served on the individual and suspension from post or from organisation would be considered.
"An investigation would be carried out and the individual would be interviewed. A report would then be provided to the head of Professional Standards (for a police officer) or the head of HR (for a member of staff). They would then conduct a final assessment and decide whether there is enough evidence for the case to be sent to CPS for consideration of prosecution. If not, then the assessment will look at whether there is enough evidence on the balance of probabilities for the individual to attend a misconduct meeting or hearing."
Javed Khan, chief executive of Victim Support, said: "It is very worrying to think that the personal data of victims of crime – who are often extremely vulnerable – might be being accessed and used inappropriately by people in a position of trust.
"Victims rightly expect that their privacy and the information they give will be respected when they report a crime.
"Victims must be able to trust the police so they have confidence to come forward and report crime in the first place."

The ship lived up to expectations and previous reviews. It is a genuine 4 star ship and crew.The captain is welcoming to passengers AND crew on a daily basis, is seen about the ship and participates in Captains Corner and Cake Making sessions. His friendliness, good communications and attention to passengers seems to be contagious with the crew which pleased the predominately Australian list.
The ship has all the makings for good dining, entertainment and relaxation. It may not be the biggest or newest but it is clean with a good layout and most standard trimmings. It is more middle class with a high percentage of balcony cabins yet still providing the luxury of specialty restaurants and features. It is a ship perfectly placed for the first time and middle of the road cruisers. With some 2300 passengers it is flexible with attention to dining, entertainment, personal space and comfort.
OK time to be negative. Sure there are some things that could be better but I emphasise they are minor in significance. The existing formula works well. The outdoor pool is small, the bathroom is small (especially noted by large people), the refridgerator is a cooler only,the cinema is small (50)and no public laundry.
Some highlights include the theatre shows and productions, quality of food (as distinct from quantity),the variety of entertainment (to cover all interests and ages), the quiet public space, the smoothness of embarkation, disembarkation,tender service and the cooperative and friendly approach of senior dining room waiters to people with special diets (there was a high number of passengers in this category).
All passengers we spoke with enjoyed the ship. We would happily use it again and overall it represented good value.

These are the coolest things-they look so creepy. Looked great on the Halloween party table and so easy to make. Will definitely be making again next year.
Reviewed Oct. 24, 2011
I did these but with pickles in them instead of the tomatoes they went like hotcakes.
Reviewed Oct. 27, 2008
I made these for our last Halloween Party and they went like wild fire. I will be making these this year too. Thanks for the great and scary recipe.

The NEW Article 83: The Uniform Adult Guardianship Act & Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act. A new Uniform Guardianship Act was signed into law in New York last fall and went into effect in April. The act addressed gaps in the Mental Hygiene Law and Surrogate's Procedure Act related to jurisdiction in multiple states. Because seniors often move or spend different parts of the year in different states and because their family members often live in widespread locations, the importance of this act cannot be overstated.This information-packed program will cover the provisions of the new law and what they mean for the guardianship matters you handle.
This seminar, featuring a distinguished and highly experienced faculty, will provide helpful insights on the why's and wherefore's of using expert witnesses in conjunction with trials, trial preparation, and other aspects of litigation. If you handle litigation of any kind, you will want to attend.
The Suffolk Academy of Law is the educational branch of The Suffolk County Bar Association. The Academy of Law is chartered by the New York State Board of Regents as an educational institution, and as been providing legal education to attorneys for over 30 years.
The Academy is also an accredited by the New York State Office of Court Administration as a provider of mandatory New York State Continuing Legal Education.

Guns N' Roses – Greatest Hits Reviews
If time is the true test, then Guns N' Roses' Greatest Hits confirms that they really were one of the greatest rock & roll bands in the world. While, in retrospect, fellow graduates of the class of 1987 are about as cool as poodle perms and spandex, the L.A. bad boys still rock like gods. Listening to the sun-drenched chords of "Paradise City" and the ensuing stadium-sized swagger is enough to make wearing leather trousers and bandanas seem like a good idea. Of course, it helped th (more…)

This news isn't unexpected, just the timing: Chipper Jones announced that he will retire at the end of the season.
Jones will be 40 in April and has been battling various injuries for the last couple of seasons. Even at that, he was a productive player in 2011, hitting .275/.344/.470 with 18 HR and 70 RBI in 126 games, and being named an All-Star for the sixth time in his career.
Jones has won one MVP award in his career (in 1999) and finished in the top 10 of MVP voting five other times. He's played the bulk of his career at third base, although he moved to the outfield for a couple of years in the early 2000s. He enters 2012 with 454 career home runs and 2615 career hits and a lifetime triple-slash of .304/.402/.533. The only players in major league history with as many or more plate appearances as Chipper who also have a lifetime BA over .300, OBP over .400 and SLG over .500 are Tris Speaker, Babe Ruth, Mel Ott, Stan Musial and Ty Cobb, all Hall of Famers.
Chipper's likely to join them in Cooperstown, six years from now.

Pensioner died while on holiday in Tenerife
3:52pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Rebecca Cain, Reporter
A 67-YEAR-old woman died after she fell during a holiday in Tenerife, an inquest heard.
Patricia Taylor, 67, from the Chalfonts arrived at the Spanish island on October 10 with her husband, Colin.
The inquest at Beaconsfield Coroner's Court today heard they were staying in a studio apartment and at 2am on October 12 Mr Taylor woke to find his wife lying on the floor next to the bed, after she called out.
He presumed she had fallen when she had got up to go to the toilet in the night.
She was lucid, and at first did not want him to call a doctor.
But paramedics were called and she went into hospital where she had surgery. Mrs Taylor went into intensive care but did not recover and later died on October 28.
A post mortem revealed she died from multiple organ failure due to a rib fracture and associated complications, with a contributory factor due to an enlarged heart.
Coroner Richard Hulett recorded a verdict of accidental death.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- Making the city government more transparent is one issue Mayor Tari Renner wants to tackle in 2014.
Mayor Renner gave Bloomington's first ever State of the City Address Monday night; saying things were looking up for the community.
Renner talked about making progress on the pension plan and solid waste program, but adds there are some challenges for the upcoming year.
"Bringing more different types of people into the political process and I think when we do that we're going to make better decisions. I'd also like to make sure we have a transparency ordinance that basically means that people can speak at every one of our public meetings," said Mayor Tari Renner, Bloomington.
Mayor Renner says more town hall meetings are in the works for this year.

To: AAF Members
From: Jeffry Perlman, Executive Vice President – Government Affairs
Clark Rector, Senior Vice President – Government Affairs
Re: House Committee Rejects DTC Advertising Restrictions
Last night, the House Energy and Commerce Committee Health Subcommittee accepted an amendment to the Drug Safety Act that repeals the restrictions on commercial speech contained in the original bill and gives the FDA authority to assess monetary penalties for advertising found to be false or misleading. This amendment essentially tracks the Roberts-Harkin amendment that was supported by the industry and passed the Senate last month.
The advertising provisions in the original bill included authority for the FDA to impose a three-year moratorium on prescription drug advertising, required preapproval of both individual DTC ads and comprehensive marketing plans and added additional and unwieldy mandatory warning language to ads and packaging.
Reps. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., and Steve Buyer, R-Ind., sponsored the amendment repealing the restrictions. After much debate, the subcommittee approved the amendment by a vote of 23-9. Members of Congress who voted for the amendment were:
Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y.
Steve Buyer, R-Ind.
Nathan Deal, R-Ga.
Ralph M. Hall, R-Texas
Bart Gordon, D-Tenn.
Heather Wilson, R-N.M.
John B. Shadegg, R-Ariz.
Joseph R. Pitts, R-Pa.
Mike Ferguson, R-N.J.
Mike Rogers, R-Mich.
Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.
Sue Myrick, R-N.C.
Eliot L. Engel, D-N.Y.
John Sullivan, R-Okla.
Tim Murphy, R-Pa.
Michael C. Burgess, R-Texas
Mike Ross, D-Ark.
Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.
Darlene Hooley, D-Ore.
Anthony D. Weiner, D-N.Y.
Jim Matheson, D-Utah
John D. Dingell, D-Mich.

Thanks in large part because of the tremendous grassroots efforts of the advertising industry, the members of Congress were able to convince their colleagues to accept the amendment. This successful conclusion would likely not have happened without the many calls and e-mails from AAF members and other industry representatives. A number of the subcommittee members acknowledged the grassroots support for the Towns amendment in their presentations.
All of the members of Congress who voted favorably on the bill deserve the industry's gratitude. Please take a moment to call or e-mail a word of thanks to them for their efforts. Contact information is available by entering your ZIP code at http://www.house.gov/writerep/.
The next steps are a vote in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, before a vote in the full House of Representatives and conference reconciliation with the Senate version of the bill. It is possible that opponents may try to revisit advertising restrictions. We will inform you of any new developments concerning the legislation.
Thank you for all of your work on this important issue and congratulations on a critical victory for commercial speech.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - News 8 has learned a San Diego police officer accused of assaulting a 17-year-old boy will not face criminal charges.
The altercation began when the off-duty officer discovered the teenager and another boy smoking pot.
"I felt like Dick Butkus was coming at me. It was definitely a scary moment," the teen said.
In April, San Diego police officer Burt Hulbert found the boy smoking pot inside a car outside the officer's Rancho Penasquitos home.
"He kept kicking me seven to eight times, then he tried to get me out of the car. He grabbed my neck, I fought back to get away and he punched me in the face twice," the teen said.
A police incident report showed the teenager suffered a fractured face and went to the hospital. The boy, who News 8 is not identifying because he is a minor, claimed Hulbert never identified himself as an officer.
Two months later, the district attorney's office has informed the teenager there is not enough evidence to file charges.
"They just said that they just didn't have enough. I mean I'm obviously disappointed but I understand it. It's understandable… it's tough to convict a cop I guess," the teen said.
Hulbert is the first of nine San Diego police officers accused of wrongdoing in recent months to be officially cleared of criminal charges. For now, he remains on paid desk duty because an internal police department review is still ongoing. Chances are he'll be back on patrol in the near future.
"That's the thing that bothers me the most, if anything, is that he's going to be back on patrol. I just hope it doesn't happen again," the teen said.
Meanwhile, the teenager's father is still talking to an attorney about filing a civil suit.
"Grabbing a 17-year-old kid and beating the hell out of him isn't exactly anything I see as the correct way of justice," the father said.
Officer Hulbert did not respond to a telephone message seeking comment. He's a veteran San Diego officer of 24 years who currently works out of the department's northern division.

Pleasanton commuters advised to brace for BART strike tomorrow

From Chronicle and KCBS columnist Phil Matier today: Overall, BART gets 20,473 job applications annually for an average of 177 job openings. That's about a 1-in-100 chance of being hired. Compare that with Harvard, which accepts 6 percent of applicants. Many in the public who are looking at this latest labor spat are saying to themselves: "What up with that? I'd like that job." Pay, benefits and longevityguarantees provided by working for BART. Once you're in, you're in.
Even BART's unions will privately admit that this is their toughest sell because the public saw what the wages that their members are earning. People are calling up BART's Board of Directorsthe elected officials that represent the Bay Area countiesand telling them: "Look, if they don't they don't want the jobs, I got a kid that wants them so get rid of them and hire somebody else
on Oct 9, 2013 at 2:00 pm
Bart workers shouldn't strike. I bet the union leadership is making them do it. They make too much money. I don't make as much as them. Therefore I'm against them. Only rich people should make more then me. Besides, their unionized and that means their against freedom. Because unions are against freedom. I'd rather me and my family starve than to have a union job. Because unions are bad, really bad.

It's my hope that all people involved in this transportation crisis will cross their fingers and hope for the best.

DELPHOS — The St. John's ACME baseball team was the beneficiary of lightning Monday night at Wildcat Field, downing Jefferson 8-4 in a 6-inning contest called by the weather.

PEORIA, Ill. -- We are near the end of National Children's Mental Health Awareness week, but that shouldn't stop adults from being aware of their mental health status year-round.
Dr. Alisha Hudson, an OSF Medical Group psychiatrist, says women are more likely to develop mental illnesses, due, in part, to changing hormone levels.
Dr. Hudson also says women who are pregnant, postpartum, or menopausal are at greater risk for mood disorders.
She says when it comes to seeking medical help, the earlier, the better.
"Sometimes these symptoms may be distressing for women to the point where they may not feel comfortable telling their obstetrician or pediatrician about the symptoms," said Dr. Hudson, "and it's very important that they obtain some sort of help very early on to help them try to prevent any further worsening."
"One of the metaphors I use a lot for my patients is to think of themselves in an airplane," continued Dr. Hudson. "If the airplane is going down, the stewardess is going to tell you to first put the air mask on yourself before you can help others... If you don't attend to the needs of the woman or the mother in the family, other sorts of things can suffer."
Dr. Hudson also recommends that women set aside a few minutes each day for themselves, get at least five hours of sleep a night, and establish a good support network for optimal mental health.

James Bond 007 is a fictional character created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short story collections. The fictional British Secret Service agent has also been used in the longest running and most financially successful English-language film franchise to date, starting in 1962 with Dr. No.
After Fleming's death in 1964, subsequent James Bond novels were written by Kingsley Amis, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks and Jeffery Deaver. Moreover, Christopher Wood novelised two screenplays, Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond, John Pearson wrote an authorised biography, while other writers have authored unofficial versions of the character.
There have been 22 films in the Eon Productions series to date, the most recent of which, Quantum of Solace, was released on 31 October 2008 (UK). In addition there has been an American television adaptation and two independent feature productions. Apart from films and television, James Bond has also been adapted for many other media, including radio plays, comic strips and video games.

RJ: Why is college tuition so expensive—up to $50,000 a year?
President Morton Schapiro, Northwestern University, and author of six books on the economics of higher education: That is a common but rather misleading way of considering tuition costs. First of all, more than 75% of undergraduates attend public universities, typically paying less than a third of that $50,000. And while is it true that many schools, including Northwestern and peer institutions, have a $50,000/year sticker price, of the 16.5 million undergraduates in American higher education, only about 500,000 attend colleges and universities in that price range, and only about half of them pay the full tuition. So, in fact, fewer than two out of 100 undergraduates pay $50,000 per year, and those who do typically come from families at the top 10% of the American income distribution and can afford it.
Hasn't tuition become more expensive for medium and low income families?
No—it's become less expensive as a percentage of household income because of rapid increases in aid discounts, especially at highly selective private colleges and universities. During this decade, the percentage of income charged by highly selective private schools has fallen for those families at or below the medium income level as well as for those on the cusp of eligibility for need-based aid (family income of around $200,000 per year and typical associated assets). In short, an Ivy League-type education is considerably more affordable today than it was 15 years ago. Prices might still be high, but at least they are moving in the right direction.
It is true, though, that the sticker-price rate has increased at a much faster pace than the rate of inflation in the U.S. Why?
It's because we are so labor-intensive. Other industries typically keep down costs by becoming more efficient—which usually means employing capital to replace labor. A university, on the other hand, is like a symphony. How do you become more efficient? Take out a couple violinists? Play faster? Increase the number of audience members at the concert hall from 800 to 3,000? To be more cost-efficient, we could employ graduate students to teach courses, or double the number of students per class from 20 to 40—but that would decrease the value of our product. At NU we try to use technology effectively, and make consortial arrangements with other schools in ordering equipment and supplies for cost savings, but otherwise it's very difficult to lower costs by raising productivity without undermining our educational mission.
Given the high cost of a college education and a tough job market, does a college education really pay?
Absolutely. A large body of research demonstrates that a college education is a great economic investment with a long-term rate of return of 9% or more a year in future earnings. The rate of return depends, of course, on where and what you study. A graduate of Cornell or UCLA can expect to earn more than a graduate of a community college. And a student with a BS in engineering can expect to earn more than a student at the same school with a BA in philosophy.
Should a student choose a major with high earnings potential?
It really depends on how you value your material standard of living. I know people in the not-for-profit world who resent not being able to afford nicer vacations, and I know people who are fabulously wealthy working on Wall Street who really wish that they were high school teachers. If you're trying to get rich, it may make sense to major in economics and get an MBA at a school that specializes in finance. Still, there is no guarantee that professions which proved lucrative in a previous generation will pay off in this one. As author Thomas Friedman points out, make sure you're in a job that can't easily be outsourced to Bangalore.
What skills and qualities are valued in today's world?
Being worldly, creative, and respectful of diversity. To be successful in navigating the global economy, for example, you not only need to understand the financial systems in China, but also its language, culture, history, religion, art, and music. For these reasons, ironically, the value of studying the humanities has increased.
Do schools consider creativity as a factor in the admissions process?
Some schools do. For example, at Williams College, where I formerly served as president, we had explicit markers for what we called "intellectual vitality." We gave special consideration to young people who were creative and interesting but didn't have perfect SAT scores and might have had some strange grades because some high school teachers didn't like, appreciate, or understand them. The results aren't in yet, but anecdotally, those students seem to have thrived. We will be experimenting with a similar approach at NU.
Is studying abroad educationally valuable and cost-effective?
There are a lot of benefits. To be more worldly, it helps to expose yourself to other cultures. And whatever your field, if you're not comfortable with geographical, cultural, and other differences, you're probably going to be less successful. That said, it is easier to leave for a semester or quarter if you're majoring in art history or political science than if majoring in engineering, which usually follows a curriculum hierarchy. If you are considering studying abroad, good questions to ask yourself include: What will I be giving up? What will I be gaining in return? Is the program right for me? Is it really good? Will it deliver what it promises?
The financial ramifications often depend on whether your institution charges the regular tuition or the tuition for the program; whether your financial aid travels with you; and whether you have to pay a fee to support the school's international studies program.
You studied economics in college. How useful has it been for you?
I became very comfortable with numbers and applied statistics, and became experienced at determining economic trade-offs. There is no free lunch. It sounds trite, but every time you make one allocation, you're not making it for something else. As economists we're used to making opportunity-cost calculations, and most trustees like people who understand trade-offs. I think that's one of the reasons why so many college presidents are economists.
How does your being Jewish inform your role as a college president?
My faith is the most important thing in my life, so I am happy to share my enthusiasm for Judaism with others in the spirit of religious diversity on campus. People of all religions are welcome at the president's house. Catholics come over to celebrate All Saints Day, and Muslims to mark the end of Ramadan. At Williams, when we broke the Yom Kippur fast, my wife and I hosted dinner for more than 200 people. About 150 of us marched from the Jewish center to the president's house with our tallit bags in hand. It was a lovely sight. At Northwestern, we had 45 people over each night for seder. That would not have happened in the not-so-distant past, when many colleges and universities were not exactly welcoming to Jews.
—Morton Schapiro, President of Northwestern University, Hillel board member, and former board member of HUC-JIR, Los Angeles
