As July 4th nears, many people are looking forward to the fireworks shows, but Missoula city officials say those firework shows can bring back harmful memories to veterans and those living with PTSD.
As a Vietnam vet, Dan Gallagher knows the hardships of transitioning from the battlefield to a regular life. He said even the happiest of celebrations could bring back painful memories, especially when the loud booms and bangs of fireworks are involved.
"The smaller fire works sound like rifle fire, and it was pretty frightening," Gallagher said. "It took me several years to get rid of that fright."
As Gallagher explained, the loud fireworks and flashing explosions can trigger memories of life-threatening situations that caused severe trauma, and it can be hard to keep instinctual reactions in check.
"That's something historic," he said. "It's not just me, or this generation, or that generation."
Gallagher said he remembers his older brother having the same issue when he came back from the Korean War.
"I lit a firework near where my brother was working on a car, and he came out pale and shaking," Gallagher said.
He said not all vets suffer from this problem, but there are generations and generations of vets who do.
Samuel Redfern, a veteran of the war in Iraq said,"Some veterans do come back having experienced a lot of action with mortars and firefights. Fireworks can be very disturbing, especially with a veteran facing PTSD."
Redfern fought with the U.S. Army in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He said he's seen many veterans live in fear on the July 4th.
"For most Americans, July 4th is a big day," Redfern said. "It's a celebration of our independence and fireworks are a part of that."
Redfern and Gallagher both said they don't want to take the fun or celebration out of Independence Day.
"I think some restrictions are necessary, but I don't want to say bah hum bug to other peoples' festivities on July 4th."
They said they eventually hope there's a way for people to celebrate with fireworks in designated areas where veterans can know to avoid.
Missoula City Council cited this issue as one of the reasons they are putting harsher restrictions on fireworks this year. Fines are raised for the use and sale of fireworks in city limits, and firefighters can hand out citations as well.

Did Haitians Ever Make a Pact with the Devil?
On January 13, 2010, in the wake of a massive earthquake in Haiti, Christian Evangelist Pat Robertson publicly stated that 200 years ago Haitians "got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you will get us free from the French.' True story. And so, the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.'" Robertson continued by stating that Haiti has been "cursed by one thing after t…
Vodou Ceremony at Bois Caiman
Controversy surrounds the history of the ceremony held at Bois Caiman in 1791 on the eve of slave revolution against the white colonists. Those wishing to speak ill of either revolutionaries or Vodou practitioners encouraged the notion that this ceremony involved a pact with the devil, although there is no evidence that such a demonic ritual ever occurred.
Historical Christian Gnosticism
Christians have flirted with Gnostic thought since the early centuries of Christianity. After the 4th century, these movements were systematically ruled as heretical by the established Church, which then moved to isolate and wipe them out through a variety of methods. Each movement had its own specific beliefs, but there were also many qualities held in common by many of them, qualities they al…
Monotheism or Dualism? Zurvanite Confusions with Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism today is monotheistic, acknowledging only a single divine being. However, many people today are familiar with stories – often from world history or comparative religion classes – that portray Zoroastrianism as a dualism featuring two opposing deities. This is actually a reflection of a set of beliefs called Zurvanism.
Baha'i and Babi Roots in Shi'a Islam
Developing in Iran, the Baha'i and Babi Faiths can trace their roots back to Shi'a Islam. The similarities and differences between the two religions led to considerable conflict in the 19th century - including the execution of the Bab - and continues to influence Baha'i-Muslim relations today.
Why Are Zoroastrian Figures Referred To By Multiple Names?
Zoroastrianism has evolved considerably over time, and important writings on the faith were generated over many centuries in multiple languages. As such, different source materials may provide conflicting doctrines as well as reference supernatural beings by varying names.

Yenne's book on the "occult origins of the SS" is a disappointment, focusing more on fairly well-known politics, and lacking much discussion of the occult at all.

While some consider Halloween to be a modern extension of the Celtic Samhain, the truth is far more complicated. Halloween traditions and meanings have changed dramatically over the centuries through the interaction between religion, culture, and folklore.

Uncomfortable as it is for me to be on the same side of an issue as the Libertarians, I do think this bond issue needs more study and coverage.
First, I'd like a better handle on how the $203 million from the 4 previous bond issues (approved 1996, 2001, 2004) was spent. These bonds were issued for the same purpose - facilities upgrades, modernization, etc. There's not a lot of information available online - or at least not that I've found.
Second, I'd like more information on how they intend to spend $165 million and why it's that amount. From what I've read, $165 million was arrived at by figuring out the tax base and what voters would be willing to pay, not based on what's needed. This would also seem to be the case because the measure only lists a handful of specific projects, the others being very broad categories of spending.
Perhaps the thing that chafes me most is the arrogant way in which the "For" supporters dodged the issues raised by the "Against" camp in the Voter Information Pamphlet. Instead of clarifying or rebutting facts and figures, or giving us additional data that would show that the debt our district will be assuming is sustainable and consistent with other similar districts, they instead did a character assassination of the person who wrote the argument.
I think the sponsors of the bill are being sloppy because they think voters will automatically say 'yes' to education. Let's get more information and a higher standard of accountability before we saddle ourselves with a lot of debt.

Burnage stars for Joggers while Gilbert bags prize
12:58pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in Sport
A GROUP of hardy Malvern Joggers members turned out for popular annual race, the Muddy Woody 6.
The six-mile multi-terrain contest on a tough course in Haugh Woods, Mordiford, Herefordshire, certainly lived up to its name this year due to the recent rain.
Sam Burnage was first Jogger home in an impressive 51 minutes nine seconds, followed by Chris Smallman in 53.30.
Claire Gilbert had a fantastic run to be the second lady overall in 58.46 and picked up a well-deserved prize for her efforts.
Daniel Badger clocked one hour one minute 26 seconds, Scott Hawkins 1.03.25, Trevor Matty 1.05.23, Steve Roode 1.05.59, Andrew Banham 1.06.48, Tess Brooks 1.08.16, Julie Caseley 1.10.39, Colin Rowley 1.14.21, Mike Anstey 1.16.38, Lynda Broadway 1.20.15, Viv Tolley 1.34.04, Val Yates 1.34.08 and Lorraine Bunn 1.34.10.

We have the finest beet root powder around! Fresh dried beet root powder organic certified and ready for all your health and nutrition creations!
The beet is a vegetable that was once considered an herb. In ancient times, beets had elongated roots like carrots. The globular red beet we now eat was only hybridized about 300 years ago.
Beets have the highest sugar content of all the vegetables. Beet juice and beet powder are used to flavor carrot, celery, and other vegetable juices, and also to color a variety of foods.
Packed Fresh To Order In Our Flavor Savor Foil Bags! Our Herbs Are Absolutely The Purest And Freshest Shipped To Your Door! We Buy Direct From The Growers And Store All Our Precious Herbs In Climate/Light Controlled "Waiting Rooms"!
Growing beetroot in the backyard garden is a must for people who take their health seriously. It is a rich source of carbohydrates, has no fat, it is a great source of fibre and has built up a reputation throughout Europe that it has anti-carcinogenic properties in the red colouring matter. It's not common knowledge that the leaves, which are also edible, are a great source of iron and foliate, along with beta-carotene. Studies are being undertaken to substantiate the claims that beetroot increases the uptake of oxygen by as much as 400 per cent. Beetroot is one of the many vegetables with a range of antioxidants
Typical Preparations
One or two teaspoons added to water or juice, 2-4 times daily. One teaspoon of powder provides the nutrition in one beet.
None. Maximum safe dosages for young children, pregnant or nursing mothers, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established, but there are no reports of any side effects from the use of the product.

Hugh Cornwell returns to the US after a successful sold out UK tour at 02 Academy venues. He is a man with equal parts grit and wit. He has been an acclaimed writer and live performer since his time as the primary songwriter, singer, and guitarist of punk and new wave legends The Stranglers. His recently released eighth album, Hooverdam, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Liam Watson (White Stripes - 'Elephant') is an eloquent and exciting mix of rhythm & blues, rock and post-punk. Hugh will also cross the Atlantic this Spring and treat his US fans to his fiery live show.
Though he may be one of the UK's finest talents, Hugh's music has always reached far beyond his homeland. Fittingly, Hooverdam is now available worldwide from his website, which can be viewed in twelve languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Farsi, Russian, Mandarin, Turkish, Italian and Japanese). The album is available as a free download and can also be purchased on vinyl and as a triple-sleeved digi-pak, featuring both CD album and live studio performance DVD 'Blueprint' in one package.
The upcoming US tour includes a performance in San Francisco as part of the Jay Siegan Presents "In The Name Of Love", a series of concerts to raise money for the Haiti relief effort. Hugh will be playing along with special guest Kristeen Young at San Francisco's Red Devil Lounge on March 31st. A percentage of ticket sales will be donated to international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders for the victims of Haiti.

|And there it finally is
|Monday, July 23, 2012 12:30 PM
Sooooo. Seems time goes even faster when you're on vacation. It's hard to believe since it already felt like it was in warp speed.
Was Friday a blessing or what? I was up early and out trimming bushes by 9 a.m. I know that doesn't sound early but I was trying to be nice to the neighbors. Next, I moved on and weeded the flower beds and deadheaded the roses. It looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Don't look at the grass, though. How awful. I don't ever recall it being so dead. Even though we got a couple good rains, it's still crunchy underfoot.
The hubby is still gone. I really do miss him. I was looking forward to doing some of my own stuff, like reading whenever I wanted, but I really do miss him. We have been texting a lot because he can't have his phone ringing in the event center and he really can't talk when he's inside.
He has been the best Prop Uncle ever. Lotus is doing really well. She got two double platinum plus awards on the first day and is competing for world titles today. I hope they have the live feed up. I haven't been able to watch her as I have in the past. I even called the company putting on the event. I told them I was a proud aunt who was unable to attend the actual event and I would have really enjoyed watching her online. I even suggested they could sell advertising to cover the cost. Do I work at a newspaper or what?
Our little furry guy will sure be glad to see him as well. Every night, he comes to me and lays his head in my lap and then looks toward the bedroom where my husband is usually watching TV, checking his fantasy baseball or Facebooking and then looks back at me like, "Hey, where'd he go? Is he coming back?"
I'm taking little Ringo with me to pick Jay up at the airport Sunday and I can't wait to see how he reacts to seeing for the first time in nearly nine days.
So, I have a few more days left and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to spend them. I'm still on the first book of the stack. I find myself flipping channels on the TV and checking Facebook and Words With Friends more than anything. Someone please stop over and save me!
I have a date tonight with two of my besties. We're ordering the new pizza we saw advertised and probably watching a movie or sitting on their patio and enjoying the evening.
Ah, there it is, I'm on vacation. I could only do that if I was on vacation.

CATEGORIES Classics, Foreign Language, Noir, Obits, CinematicalAmerican filmmaker Jules Dassin has reportedly died today in Athens, Greece, of complications after catching flu. Obviously it is a sad time for fans of Dassin's Night and the City; Richard Widmark, the actor who starred in that classic noir, died one week ago.
Dassin was born in Connecticut in 1911, became an actor in Yiddish theater in New York and then went on to Hollywood, where he made films noir like Brute Force, The Naked City, Thieves' Hideaway and of course Night and the City, which was his last American film thanks to the persecution of the House Un-American Activities Committee.
Fortunately, as an exile in Europe, he continued to churn out brilliant movies, such as the pre-eminent heist flick Rififi, the crime caper Topkapi and the gold-hearted hooker film Never on a Sunday, which starred Dassin and his future wife, Greek actress Melina Mercouri, and for which he received Oscar nominations for writing and directing. His last film was the disappointing 1980 Canadian production Circle of Two, which starred Richard Burton and Tatum O'Neal.

Wedding Unity Candle - Unity Sand Ceremony Sets
Personalized wedding unity candles are the latest trend, and Advantage Bridal offers a vast selection of designs and colors to fit your wedding theme. Monogrammed unity candles and candles with names and date or a special embellishment can be used to design a unity candle set that is uniquely your own.
Personalized wedding unity candles also make a great wedding keepsake for your new home, and you can light them on every anniversary to remember your big day. Leave your wedding unity candle out all year long or bring it out on special occasions. Either way, your unity candle will be special to you for years to come.
Advantage Bridal also offers personalized memorial candles to honor those who are not able to celebrate with you. Lighting a personalized candle for family members who have passed on is a lovely, touching way to remember them during your wedding ceremony or during your wedding reception.
Don't see the wedding unity candle you are looking for? Give us a call and let us help you find the perfect unity candle for your special day.
A wedding unity candle is a perfect way to signify the joining of your family and your groom�s family, or perhaps the blending of two families.
The unity candle is a fairly new tradition to the wedding ceremony. This moment in the ceremony generally includes the bride and groom lighting two taper candles that they take together to light a pillar unity candle. It was started in the Christian faith to symbolize the joining of two souls to make one. Now, many interfaith ceremonies perform the ceremony as well. Unity candle sets usually contain two taper candles and one pillar candle. The pillar, which symbolizes unity, stands between the two tapers, which symbolize the lives led prior to the marriage.
The lighting of the taper candles is often done by the mothers of the bride and groom, or by special friends or family asked to be candle lighters. To light the center candle, the bride and groom each take a lit taper and touch the flame to the wick of the pillar candle at the same time. Some churches or religions have a specific time during the ceremony for the lighting of the unity candle. Some couples light the candle while they are reciting their wedding vows and some do it right after the pronouncement of marriage. Regardless of when you light the unity candle, it should continue to burn for the rest of your wedding ceremony. Care must be taken to avoid an accident, especially if the bride is wearing a veil or has long hair.
A relatively new tradition in unity candles are beautiful personalized candles for you to have as a keepsake. They can be monogrammed with your first initial on your taper candle and the groom�s initial on his taper candle. Then the large pillar candle will have your new last name initial. Some monogrammed unity candles feature a verse with the monogram, and some are even embellished with Swarovski crystals.
The candles are also offered in multiple colors to complement your wedding d�cor and theme. A beach inspired set with starfish and seashells or an autumn leaf set for a fall wedding with tones of orange and brown are just a couple of your options. Delicate glass floating unity candleholders can also be designed with your monogram or detailed saying special to you and your fianc�.
Special family unity candle sets are made to include children into the ceremony, with the candles that include the names of the bride and groom, as well as the names of the children that are going to be joined together in the marriage. The Family Medallion unity ceremony is one such example. A unity sand ceremony can be an alternative to the unity candles when needed. This is where a bride and groom have two separate vases, or any type of container you desire and two different colored sands. The couple pours their individual sand into a larger container, creating a beautiful mixed sand keepsake. Unity sand colors can be chosen to complement your wedding colors, or you and your groom�s favorite colors. A unity sand vases or containers/span> can be any size or shape and will depend on your taste. This lovely addition to the ceremony can then turn into a keepsake for the family home. Unity sand vases can be engraved with your names, monogram and wedding date, or decorated in brilliant colored lettering.
Whether you chose to have a Swarovski crystal unity candle, a printed personalized unity candle or a unity sand ceremony, Advantage Bridal can assist you with their extensive collection of wedding ceremony accessories.

Residents irked by change in Palo Alto's 'housing vision'
Original post made on May 16, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Thursday, May 16, 2013, 12:16 AM
on May 16, 2013 at 1:09 am
From the City of Palo Website:
"The Housing Element is the chief policy document describing the City's housing needs, policies and programs
The Housing Element must cover the following topics:
A site inventory where housing development is allowed, as well as supported by infrastructure and the environment
Six months from now, the council & city staff are expecting most of you to forget or move on, and they will cite the Housing Element as the reason they are approving the zoning change.
And the City transportation manager will keep saying what a success the Arastradero lane reduction is (he's probably already put it in his resume, as his manager is retiring, and he's looking either for a promotion or another city to hire him) - of course no mention that traffic went to Maybell Ave.
Want more of the same - vote for Scharf, Price & Shepard next year. You already got suckered into voting for Berman last year. I promise you more of the same - no listening to the residents, and the "I know best" attitude. After all who do think the council represents - the residents or city staff & special interests?
on May 16, 2013 at 1:53 am
"The fact that the city chose unilaterally to lend $4M of public funds to a city-backed developer for a project before examining traffic and other impacts... Now the city government has essentially put itself into the role of a developer who gets to write his own permits."
When did we become Bell, CA? This seemed on the surface like at worst a a squabble over a poorly conceived development deal, but now it reeks of scandal. Council will have to railroad the project through in order to protect a 4m tax dollar investment that they themselves made way way way too early in the process. If its not legal corruption it's certainly moral corruption.
on May 16, 2013 at 7:24 am
> "What we need is not more housing in our area," Ellman said.
> "We need a supermarket, a hardware store and so on because
> all our purchases go to Los Altos and Mountain View."
How bizarre. When people in Los Altos shop, or dine, in Palo Alto--where do the "purchases" from those folks go? And what about all that traffic that supermarkets, and hardware stores generate? People in the Maybell area don't want more traffic in their own neighborhood--but apparently don't seem to have a problem creatinng traffic in other people's neighborhood!
With so much available via the Internet, it's not clear that any city needs nearly as much retail as it did in the past. Moreover, it's time to rethink the allocation of sales taxes, so that that money goes to the region, not the city, where the sales taxes are collected.

De Stewart (better known as Colonel De) has turned his lifelong obsession with spices into a book, a cooking show, and his own shop at Findlay Market. As summer heats up, we had to ask: What's the secret to a great rub?
Let's talk about rubs. How many do you sell? I sell 40 to 50 different rubs.
And do you make all of those? We make, literally, 99.9 percent of them.
What makes a good rub? I look at rubs like a musical chord. You have spices like coriander that are high notes, while garlic is more of a low, deep note. The key to a good rub, like a good sound, is balance. If you find the perfect balance, your taste buds will thank you.
How do you know which spices go with which meats? For beef, I want something strong like paprika, garlic, black pepper, and coriander. Pork and chicken tend to taste better with sweet spices, like sugars and chili powder. Then you have your bases—onion, garlic, and salt.
So a customer comes to you looking for help. What do you say? I ask customers what meat they are using, how they are preparing it, and their desired flavor profile: spicy, savory, sweet, etc. Then we go from there. My advice always is if your nose likes it, your taste buds will like it.

By George Bremer The Herald Bulletin
The Herald Bulletin
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — Ahmad Bradshaw's most famous run in Indianapolis ended with a bit of hesitation.
It's fitting, therefore, that the veteran running back endured a prolonged pause before choosing to call the city home.
After six seasons with the New York Giants, that included two Super Bowl championships, Bradshaw signed a one-year deal Tuesday to join the Indianapolis Colts.
"Any time you can add a guy that's got Super Bowl rings and understands what it takes, has that mindset, put another pro in that locker room, another mentor," Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said. "I mean, the guy's a beast. He's a warrior. I was at Baltimore and we played him, I don't know how many years ago, and I just saw him gut through our defense for a 77-yard run. And that doesn't happen very often to a Ravens front seven and that defense."
Another run likely comes to mind when local fans hear Bradshaw's name.
It was his 6-yard touchdown run that clinched the Giants' 21-17 victory against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium. But it was no average 6-yard touchdown run.
With just one timeout remaining and the minutes dwindling away in the fourth quarter, the Patriots wanted Bradshaw to score. They provided very little resistance after the running back took the handoff from quarterback Eli Manning, and Bradshaw thought better of crossing the goal line just as he neared it.
He stopped at the one-yard line and turned his body around. But as he tried to slow his momentum and stay out of the end zone — a field goal likely would have given the Giants the lead with less than 20 seconds left, limiting New England's comeback chances — he fell backwards for the score.
All ended well for New York when Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's Hail Mary from midfield fell harmlessly to the turf as time expired.
Bradshaw experienced a similarly happy ending Tuesday when his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, finally reached an agreement with the Colts after negotiations that began Thursday.
It means the 27-year-old running back now will be calling the site of his most recent Super Bowl triumph his home.
"It's a great place," Bradshaw said during a conference call at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center. "It's a great atmosphere. Being inside and out of that facility should be fun."
The past few months have been anything but for Bradshaw.
He had surgery to repair a nagging foot injury in January and was released by the Giants to clear cap space in February. Nobody made a serious run for his services as a free agent until the Pittsburgh Steelers began kicking the tires in late March and early April.
The New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins were among other teams connected to the running back by rumors before and during the Colts' full-out pursuit.
Bradshaw had resumed rehab in Miami when he got the call he'd been signed by the Colts. He's expected to arrive in Indianapolis on Wednesday, but he might not take to the practice field before mini-camp ends on Thursday.
Pagano said the Colts will "err on the side of caution" in an attempt to make sure Bradshaw is completely healthy for training camp in late July.
The running back himself said that won't be a problem. His body feels younger after surgery, and he's ready to compete for playing time with Indianapolis' returning stable of Vick Ballard, Donald Brown and Delone Carter.
Pagano was mum on Bradshaw's expected role, but the veteran sees himself as a three-down back.
"I've always considered that, and I guess we'll let the coach and the coaching staff decide that factor," Bradshaw said. "With me, I feel that I can touch the ball every down and be effective."
He's also one of the league's best running backs in pass protection. The advanced stats website Pro Football Focus rated Bradshaw as the league's No. 1 blocking back in 2012, and he's never finished lower than third during his NFL career.
That doesn't mean he can't be just as productive with the ball in his hand.
Despite being limited to 14 games and 12 starts by the foot injury, Bradshaw gained 1,105 yards on 221 carries and scored six touchdowns last year. All three numbers would have been team highs for the Colts.
"Like we always say, iron sharpens iron like man sharpens man," Pagano said. "Every acquisition that we've made, either through free agency, the draft, you name it, we just try to create competition at every position. So the guys that we have, they won't flinch because they've got great character. They got the right mindset. They're great competitors. They're horseshoe guys. This guy, he's another horseshoe guy. Get us one step closer to hoisting that trophy."
Bradshaw knows what it's like to celebrate a championship in Indianapolis. Now he'd like to see what it feels like to celebrate a championship with Indianapolis.
"Any team that gets to the playoffs has a chance," Bradshaw said. "With these guys being young, with Andrew Luck growing every year, last year coming in the league and proving what he can do, I think this team has great potential to be a contender. That's also a big reason why Indiana was my choice."

Part of Clough Pike is still closed after a gas line was hit earlier Friday morning.
Construction workers hit a high-pressure gas line at Clough Pike and Ivy Pointe around 9:30 Friday morning.
Officials say it is not a safety issue; however, the odor of gas has now spread as far as Summerside Road in the Eastgate area.
Union Township Fire Department and Duke Energy are on-scene addressing the problem and do not expect a resolution for several hours.
The gas leak was stopped in the afternoon but officials say Clough Pike from Ivy Pointe to Mt. Carmel-Tobasco Road will be closed until repairs are complete. Officials estimate it will last into the evening hours.

Morgan Stanley Gains on Goldman By Leaving Wall Street Behind
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Morgan Stanley (MS) has spent over a generation on Wall Street playing the dumb cousin to Goldman Sachs (GS), but now it may finally be paying off.
The bank's stronger-than-expected second quarter earnings still pale in comparison to Goldman's. However, signs of improvement in Morgan Stanley's less-heralded brokerage and wealth management businesses are convincing investors to pay up for its shares.
Currently, Morgan Stanley commands about a $54.5 billion market capitalization: roughly 70% of Goldman's $78 billion market cap. But the bank led by Australian-born James Gorman is forecast by analysts to be only about half as profitable as Goldman Sachs. Also, Morgan Stanley is only expected to earn 13% the earnings per share (EPS) of its larger rival, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Analysts currently project Morgan Stanley will earn $2 in EPS in 2013, versus over $15 in EPS for Goldman Sachs, the data show.So why are investors attaching a seemingly high premium to the earnings of Morgan Stanley and discounting those versus Goldman Sachs? Ironically, much of the premium may be explained by the declining influence of Morgan Stanley on Wall Street, although it remains the second largest standalone investment bank in the world. Morgan Stanley's management ranks were roiled in the credit-fueled bull market run of the 2000s, as it lost Wall Street market share to competitors such as Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers and, most notably, Goldman. Still, in the ensuing Wall Street collapse, the bank found itself illiquid, overleveraged, holding toxic mortgage debts and on the precipice of failure. To survive, Morgan Stanley sold a 22.4% stake in the bank to Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ. Goldman, while also on the brink of collapse, was able to use stock issuance and a preferred share investment made by Warren Buffett to make it through the crisis. [Both Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs also were bailed out by the U.S. Treasury]. In the wake of Wall Street's bailout, the bank was again in a position of weakness relative to Goldman Sachs. While Goldman quickly rebounded from the crisis to post record profits, Morgan Stanley's earnings lagged. Morgan Stanley and its CEO James Gorman also took the financial crisis as reason to move away from the riskier businesses that had gotten the bank in trouble. In late 2008, the firm entered a joint venture to take control of brokerage Smith Barney from Citigroup (C). Now Morgan Stanley has full control of the JV, and it is closing in on Bank of America Merrill Lynch for the industry's top spot. Investors are increasingly interested in the Morgan Stanley's brokerage and wealth management business, even if the firm will continue to have a leading investment bank. As pre-tax margins at Morgan Stanley's brokerage unit close in on an initial target of 20%, the bank's shares have performed strongly. In the past three quarters, the unit has turned from marked underperformance to record high profitability. Profits at Morgan Stanley rose 69% in the second quarter bolstered by brokerage margins in excess of 18% and trading results that significantly beat expectations. Overall the bank earned 43 cents in EPS on a net profit from continuing operations of about $1 billion. While those numbers pale in comparison to the $3.70 in EPS and near $2 billion in profit Goldman Sachs earned in the second quarter, investors are cheering the bank's results. Morgan Stanley shares were rising nearly 5% in Thursday trading, while Goldman's fell about 2% on its better-than-forecast Tuesday earnings. Year-to-date Morgan Stanley shares have gained nearly 50%, about double the gain of Goldman Sachs.

TWO men who rammed a Kyneton police car last week are "dangerous and desperate", police say.
Bendigo police Inspector Michael Talbot said the men callously injured two police officers who were simply doing their jobs.
The incident happened after police stopped two men in a Toyota four-wheel- drive on Kyneton-Trentham Road on February 4 about 3.40am.
Police got out of their vehicle and approached the 4WD, which then sped off.
The officer returned to his sedan and as he did, he observed the Toyota perform a u-turn a short distance away and accelerated at high speed on the opposite side of the road, driving at the police car.
The Toyota hit the police sedan, pushing it several metres off the road and into a fence before driving off towards Trentham.
Both police members inside the vehicle were injured.
Detective Senior Constable Brian Hansen from the Macedon Ranges Crime Investigation Unit said the officers were "still sore" and "still off work" although both had been released from hospital.
"Anything of this nature is quite traumatic," he said.
He said the rest of the force had banded together to support the two members.
The vehicle, a silver 1999 Toyota Landcruiser wagon, was stolen from Wells Street, Seaford on January 12.
It was towing a stolen trailer which was carrying a stolen all-terrain vehicle at the time police intercepted it.
These items were stolen from a business in Wiltshire Lane, Delacombe earlier that morning.
Police have released images of two men they believe could assist with their inquiries.
The driver is perceived to be of Middle Eastern appearance, about 35 years old, 183 centimetres tall, solid/muscular, clean-shaven with a round face.
He was wearing a dark baseball cap with red writing.
The passenger is described to be of Middle Eastern appearance, about 55 years old, 172 centimetres tall, thin with short grey curly hair.
Anyone who has information about the incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au

Officials at Los Angeles International Airport have tried to put a happy spin on their response to serious allegations by the union representing the airport's police officers.
Recently the airport bought 24 new police cruisers after complaints from the union about the safety of the old cars. But rather than being upfront to the public about why, LAX officials buried the information in a completely unrelated news release that announced that nearly 1.8 million travelers will be passing through the airport for Thanksgiving.
As a result, most media outlets missed the significance of the vehicle purchases, which were made five months after the Los Angeles Airport Police Officers Association claimed that many of the old police cruisers were unsafe.
Instead, reporters focused on the annual holiday travel forecast -- probably just what LAX officials had intended.
That's pretty sleazy; the public relations staff ought to be straighforward about what it is doing with the public's funds.
The new squad cars are important because union officials claimed in June that the aging fleet needed to be replaced. An officer at LAX's sister airport in Ontario suffered carbon monoxide poisoning earlier this year because of an exhaust leak in one of the old patrol vehicles, according to LAAPOA president Marshall McClain.
Cracked seat belts and dilapidated steering wheels were discovered in some of the airport police department's patrol cars, posing a "serious safety issue for our officers," McClain said at the time.
It appears airport officials heeded the call (and that's good) in buying new vehicles they touted as "police cars of the future," equipped with an updated radio system, automated license plate recognition systems, in-car video cameras and other fancy accoutrements.
With the billions of dollars LAX officials are pouring into terminal improvements, it's about time some money was spent on cars that will allow officers to keep a better eye on the nation's third-busiest airport while also keeping them safe. Next time, however, they should have the guts to tell us why.

Juninho scored in the 34th, captain Lucas Lobos slotted in a penalty in the 50th and, after Edgar Duenas briefly gave Toluca hope of a comeback with a goal in the 78th, Luis Garcia and Emanuel Villa finished it off with goals in stoppage time.
America moved within a point of Tigres in second spot with an unlikely 2-1 win over Tijuana on Saturday, dropping Tijuana to third place.

Comments about Tigress Hoodie Girl's Costume:
The costume is cute. However the zipper was broken. Also, the fingers of the gloves were not cut so your fingers would go through them. Customer service was hard to reach. Were out of stock on a replacement. Told me to go to the nearest store (30 miles away) to exchange if they have one. Very disappointed with their customer service and I doubt I would order online again.

PERU — Peru Central School could eliminate the equivalent of 21.8 full-time positions to bridge its anticipated $2.9 million budget gap for 2013-14.
Superintendent Dr. Patrick Brimstein presented the recommended reductions, totaling $1.3 million, to the School Board at a meeting this week, saying his goal was to maintain as much breadth of programs as possible.
The proposed personnel reductions include the equivalent of 1.6 full-time Academic Intervention Services teachers; 0.5 of an account clerk typist position; three elementary teachers; four teacher assistants; 0.4 of an elementary art teaching position; 1.6 media specialists; one custodial position; one secondary-school nurse; 0.2 of a health teaching position; 3.4 secondary teachers; one special-education teacher aide; 0.6 of a secondary music teacher; one school psychologist; 0.5 of a typist position; and two special-education teachers.
Many of these positions, Brimstein said, could potentially be eliminated through attrition.
He also proposed reducing expenditure on equipment, contractual, materials and supplies district-wide by $46,577.
None of the reductions, he said at the meeting, are proposed without reason, and whatever recommendations the board ends up making, "there still has to be cuts ... it has to come from somewhere, (but) we're trying to minimize impact."
Peru Central has also proposed using $1,352,197 in reserves next school year to help close its budget deficit, which, according to school officials, is the result of significant cost increases combined with relatively flat state aid.
While PCSD originally calculated its 2013-14 tax-levy limit at 2.34 percent, an exclusion in the levy-limit formula related to rising costs of Teacher Retirement System contributions allows Peru to raise it up to 4.32 percent without super-majority voter approval.
During a public-comment period, Peru Association of Teachers President Kathleen Roach told the board she personally prefers the district exceed the levy limit instead of making cuts.
Board President Donna LaRocque said that while she would like to be able to do that, she fears voters wouldn't approve such a spending plan.

Eilen Jewell
Eilen Jewell grew up in Boise, Idaho in the American mid-west. At age 18, Jewell decided to head to the American west coast to the city of Sante Fe to study music at St John's College. St John's has a reputation for progressive teaching methods – prescriptive teaching methods or eschewed in favour of a focus on critical analysis and creativity.
"It was a really funky college," Jewell says. "At the time it seemed the right thing for me to do. It's a strange curriculum – no textbooks, no grades, no professors." Jewell pays tribute to the influence of the idiosyncratic teaching style on her approach to writing and performing music. "I learned how to think critically, and I learned how to write songs while I was there. I don't fake my way through writing, and I learned to question everything I do," Jewell says.
Jewell had started playing piano at primary school, before 'dabbling' in violin. Her parents, while not musicians, provided a musical foil to Jewell's predominantly classical education. "My parents are great lovers of music," Jewell says, "especially my father, who's a fan of lots of music. I got my love of Bob Dylan from my father."
While conceding that Boise isn't the world's most vibrant artistic scene, Jewell maintains a strong affection for her hometown. "It was pretty great," Jewell says. "I loved growing up there – it was great being a kid there. But the city didn't really offer a whole lot in the music scene. The arts scene is certainly not as vibrant there. But I still feel that Boise is a huge part of who I am," she says.
Despite moving to Santa Fe to study music, Jewell says it took a while before she decided to throw her hand into live musical performance. "I guess I didn't ever really mean to get started as a performer," Jewell says. "I never really thought of myself as a performer. I was hanging around with some friends who were performing, and I started strumming along. Eventually they asked me to play with them at a farmers' market. I started to enjoy it, and when my friends – who were a year older than me – moved away, I kept going."
Jewell became enamoured with iconic female country and blues singers, including Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn (whom Jewell paid tribute to a couple of years ago with an album of cover versions), Wanda Jackson and Mavis Staples. In fact, Jewell managed to secure those performers' autographs on her guitar, that she's only recently stopped playing – partly due to the increasing value of that signed guitar. "I had to stop performing with it recently because it became too precious," Jewell laughs. "Plus, I was lucky enough for someone to custom make me a great guitar that I use now."
Jewell threw herself into the touring circuit, regularly traversing the bars and coffee houses of continental United States. "I like touring, though I do get worn out on the longer tours," Jewell says. "But when I'm at home I start to get antsy, and I look forward to getting back on the road. I try to be grateful for all the different days that are on my calendar."
Eventually Jewell settled in Boston on the American east coast, where she now lives with her husband and drummer, Jason Beek. "I'd been living in rural Massachusetts, and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life, and then I realised that I wanted to be a musician," Jewell says. Through her soon-to-be husband Beek, Jewell had become immersed in the Boston music scene. "He was really tapped into the scene, and there's some really great musicians there," she says.
Jewell's latest album, Queen Of The Minor Key, reflects both contemporary and historical influences. "At the time of writing the album I was listening to a lot of Fred Eaglesmith – the record he'd just put out," Jewell says. "And I was also listening to a lot of Creedence Clearwater Revival, as well as lots of '60s girl group music." Jewell says the minimalist 60s production sensibility was something she was interested in exploring on the album. "I really like that simple production style," she says. "I've actually been really into that early '60s stuff recently, also early 60s country music – in fact anything with 'early' in front it," Jewell laughs.
The title of the record was taken originally from a line used to introduce Jewell at one of her shows. "A friend of mine said so many of my songs were written in a minor key, so when he introduced me at a show, he said I was the 'queen of the minor key'," Jewell says.
Jewell is about to head out to Australia for her second Australian tour; her first tour included seeing a koala while on the Great Ocean Road. "We went through this little town on the way to the Port Fairy Folk Festival, and we stopped and looked up in the trees and saw him – it was the cutest thing I've seen," Jewell says.
EILEN JEWELL plays the Corner Hotel on Thursday March 22, Meeniyan Hall on Saturday March 24, the Caravan Music Club on Sunday March 25, Byron Bay Bluesfest, taking place between Thursday April 5 to Monday April 9 and Boogie Festival in Tallarook on Sunday April 8.

In Hand
Fountain Pens are Coming Back in Vogue
Ettagale Blauer
From the Print Edition:
Winston Churchill, Autumn 93
(continued from page 1)
But it was in high-level meetings in corporate offices that the generation of young men in their 20s saw its well-dressed, highly placed elders using fountain pens. And that is why they are turning up at Art Brown's and other pen specialists, plaintively asking about such mysterious objects as bottles of ink and rocker blotters.
Although it is rumored among pen collectors that Thomas Jefferson invented a pen that had a reservoir of ink and used it to draft the Declaration of Independence, the real genesis of the modern fountain pen began in 1884 when E. L. Waterman came up with the first practical version, one with its own internal supply of ink that would feed to a nib. The essential design of the fountain pen hasn't changed dramatically since. It was the invention of better inks, not better pens, that really made the difference in the reliability of the fountain pen. Although Montblanc claims that only its ink is suitable for its pens, everyone else in the pen world says that a good quality ink with no impurities can be used in every pen.
In recognition that lovingly filling a pen from a bottle of ink may be too much for all but diehard purists, most makers now offer convertible fountain pens. In less than five seconds, you can remove the internal bladder that holds the ink and replace it with an ink cartridge. Virtually all fountain pens now offer this option, bringing this lovely nineteenth-century object up to date. It's also a sure sign that a pen is of "modern" make, although cartridges have been around in one form or another for more than 40 years.
While most of the attention has been given to the look of the pen, it is the nib that actually does the writing. In all fine pens, a choice of nibs allows the individual to find exactly the right nib for his particular hand. While the nib is always made of gold, either 14k or 18k, the tip which makes contact with the writing surface is a tiny ball of precious metal from the platinum group. This gives the durability needed to endure the constant friction; the gold ensures that the nib has the flexibility needed to ease the strain on the writing hand. Ink flows from a small hole in the nib down a slit to the point. All other beautiful embellishments that make the point an esthetic delight are simply ornamentation. A trained salesperson will guide a pen purchaser to the right choice of nib.
As for the body of the pen, Montblanc, thanks to an aggressive and ubiquitous advertising campaign, has become the brand most people ask for when they first go pen shopping. The German-based company has the dubious honor of being popular enough to generate a veritable industry of knockoffs, available on any busy street in New York City for $12 to $15. While Montblanc is annoyed enough to pursue the makers of imitation Montblanc pens, company executives maintain that they don't lose any customers. "They [the street consumers] are not Montblanc customers," says Wolff Heinrichsdoor, vice-president of Montblanc International; while also taking a jab at President Bill Clinton, who used fake Montblancs as giveaways after signing a document.
Montblanc, like other well-known brands, works earnestly to tie its name to icons of history with models like the Octavian, named for Gaius Octavius, the Roman Empire's first emperor. Each special edition is limited to 4,810 pens, a Montblanc tradition: 4,810 is the elevation in meters of Mont Blanc, the company's namesake. Montblanc did create one special edition last year that exceeded its normal parameters--the Hemingway. About 20,000 were produced and sold for $600 apiece.
Famous names and limited editions are also part of the mystique of Omas, which despite its odd-sounding name is an Italian family business. The firm was founded by Armando Simoni in 1925, and its name derives from the acronym in Italian for a "mechanical factory." Gianluca Malaguti, director of Omas, stresses that the company's named editions are not dedicated to someone but rather have a link with a person chosen. The new Galileo Galilei line was created with the cooperation of the University of Pisa, where Galileo was a student and teacher and from where he discovered the Milky Way in 1564, which is the basis for the number of pieces in the edition: 4,692. (Multiplying 1,564 by three equals 4,692.) The 12-faceted Galileo and its case are elegant. The pen is presented in a large box made of Perspex (clear plastic) and is shaped like a telescope tens. Like the pen, the box is numbered.
These well-crafted pens are made of celluloid, a material first used in pens in the 1920s, but quickly abandoned because it was rather flammable. It was an ideal material, however, for other reasons and Simoni worked hard to make it both safe and stable. Over the course of a year, the celluloid is treated and aged until the chemical and physical characteristics of the material are changed. It is transformed into a lightweight unbreakable material that does not react to changes in either temperature or air pressure. Celluloid allows for the widest range of colors.
This same shatterproof material is the drawing card for Visconti, another Italian firm, which is only six years old. When Edward Fingerman, a realtor, discovered the line during a visit to Florence, it must have been fate. Along with another pen connoisseur, Jon Messer, Fingerman bought the line and developed it in the United States. At Visconti, the sales staff is just as likely to drop a pen on the ground as hand one to you. It's a highly dramatic demonstration that celluloid does not shatter like plastic, which is used for many fine pens.
Many American pen firms have been around for a long time, too. The A.T. Cross company dates its beginnings to 1846, when it was a maker of pencils. By the 1870s, A.T. Cross was registering patents for fountain pens and what are called stylographic pens, an ink pen with a needle rather than a nib, which made it possible to use carbon copies. Although its newest model, the Townsend, derives its design from the first Cross fountain pen made nearly 60 years ago, this pen is made exclusively for sale in Europe. A.T. Cross sells $200 million worth of pens and related goods in the United States, but at an average price of $14 to $18. In Europe, Cross products sell for considerably more than in the United States.

In my experience, there is no better time to be active outside in Indiana than the fall. Our legendary humidity subsides, the temperature is pleasant for exercising bodies, and the scenery ain't bad either.
Take a hike
Take advantage of what our wonderful town and state have to offer those willing to step outdoors and adventure a little. We have no excuse to not find ourselves in the woods this month. Some of my favorite places to explore, whether for leisure or exercise, are too close not to visit.
• Starkey Park - (1 mile away) – Practically in your backyard, Starkey Park is a breath of fresh air to a busy schedule. Either drive to the parking lot in Sugarbush, ride your bike or walk down the rail trail to the entrance at the top of the wooden ramp. It's beautiful to explore the loop that runs next to Eagle Creek.
• Holliday Park - (10 miles) This diverse park offers something for everyone. Lounge by the ruins, scramble around the huge playground, explore the lower wooded trails, or sport in the open grass field. Check out the nature center, too.
• Turkey Run - (60 miles) This park boasts tons of trails, tons of activities and hills. (Yes, there are some in Indiana). Want to get off your feet? Rent a canoe. A great, unique way to look at the fall changes.
See Wednesday's Times Sentinel for the full story.

Fatal shooting in Sidney ruled an accident
SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) _ Authorities say the fatal shooting of a man in Sidney over the weekend was an accident.
Sidney radio station KSID reports that 28-year-old Donald Vizina was at a friend's house in the southern Panhandle city of Sidney on Sunday evening. The friend told police that Vizina was handling a gun when it went off and the bullet struck Vizina.
Cheyenne County Attorney Paul Schaub (shahb) says Vizina's fatal head wound was self-inflicted and accidental _ not a suicide.

Call the doctor! Truthiness in critical condition
Truthiness was in critical condition at PolitiFact Georgia last week. Our team published three fact checks in a row on health care. The first from presidential hopeful Herman Cain on CT scans flat-lined. One by U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia on Internal Revenue Service agents and the health care overhaul was DOA. Another by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius about hospital care survived and is in good condition. Even on issues outside of health care, truthiness looked at least a little bit puny. A claim by Donald Trump that the U.S. no longer builds bridges needed major surgery, as did a statement by MARTA's chairman that the transit system is getting safer. Want to comment on our findings?

First Trailer for DREDD
Here is the first trailer for Dredd starring Karl Urban in the title role. There is a lot of speed-ramping and slow motion here that might be the ingredients needed to save this movie. I'm sorry I just don't know why this is getting a reboot.
The 1995 Sylvester Stallone version was terrible sure, but even that it wasn't really something people were begging for. So yes, this version looks a lot better, so there's that.
Dredd opens in 3D on September 21st.
Dredd takes place on a fictional Earth created as a result of the Atomic Wars. Survivors are living in Mega-Cities, which protects its citizens from the Cursed Earth, a radioactive desert environment populated by mutants. The main story takes place in Mega-City One, where the police who are now called judges have the power to use police brutality to some extent to fight extreme murders. One man, Judge Dredd (Karl Urban), a senior law enforcement officer, teams up with a cadet called Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) to track down a terrorist organization lead by Ma-Ma (Lena Headey), who is responsible for selling a reality-altering drug called Slo-Mo.
