Everyone's actions are typically driven by self-interest. That is what has generated strong growth in the world economy over the past two centuries. Sometimes however, different individuals might have actions which might not be in the best self-interest of the people they work for. I am referring to the issue of corporate governance in many of today's corporations.
The issue is that the goals of managers and shareholders might differ. Managers for example might be compensated based on total profits or total sales. As a result, they might end up pushing for acquisitions of businesses that might deliver short term boosts in these key metrics, but might end up being disastrous for shareholders wealth. Other managers might prefer to allocate excess cash to repurchase stock rather than pay a dividend, in order to increase share prices that would make their incentive stock options more valuable. A third group of managers might even attempt to manipulate accounting records in order to inflate profits and collect their fat performance bonuses.
One thing that could reduce the incentive by managers to do the above mentioned actions is to closely align their performance compensation structure with the actual performance of the business. This is an extremely difficult task to do, and there are countless studies by researchers and highly paid consultants that have spent hours upon hours studying the issue. The answer however could sometimes be very simple.
In my studies of successful businesses, I have noticed one very interesting phenomenon when it comes to corporate governance. This corporate governance situation closely aligns the compensation of managers with the well-being of the enterprise. The situation occurs when a majority shareholder in a company is also in charge of steering the business in the right direction because they are the CEO. Some great examples include Warren Buffett, who took over management of then struggling Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) in the 1960s, and then transforming it into a highly successful diversified conglomerate fifty years later. His initial investment of several million dollars has been compounded by the Oracle of Omaha's investment genius into roughly a fortune worth $40 billion dollars today.
Another example of successful corporate governance by the founder/CEO is Microsoft (MSFT). He had been able to grow the company from a small software start-up in the 1970s, to one of the largest companies in the world by the time Bill Gates retired in 2000. He is a prominent philanthropist these days, but I am not overly bullish on Microsoft's stock.
My favorite CEO currently includes Richard Kinder, who is in charge of managing Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI). All of his wealth is invested and derived from his ownership of Kinder Morgan shares, which own the general partner and some limited partner units in the Kinder Morgan (KMP) and El Paso (EPB) pipelines. Richard Kinder founded Kinder Morgan with assets from Enron in the 1990s, after having a falling out with then managers of the high-flying energy trading company that later went bust. His salary is $1/year. He does however collect millions in dollars in dividends from his investment in Kinder Morgan however.
My other favorite CEO was John D Rockefeller, one of the original robber barons, who founded Standard Oil in 1870. His company was split into several companies in 1911. Many of today's largest oil companies in the world such as Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) are descended from these companies. John Rockefeller was famous for saying: "Do you know the only thing thay gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in"
My third favorite CEO was the founder of Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), Sam Walton. Starting the company in 1962, he revolutionized retail in America. His company managed to beat out larger rivals at their own game, through constant focus on cost containment and trying to become the lowest cost provider in the industry. By keeping costs low, the company is appealing to customers to the tune of 100 million visits every single week. This repeat business translates into dividend growth for more than 35 years, The company focuses on turnover, and usually sells most of the merchandise it ordered by the time it has to pay suppliers. Sam Walton thought like an owner however, as he not only expanded at a furious pace, but he also paid an ever increasing dividend only a few years after taking the company public. Check my analysis of Wal-Mart Stores.
To summarize, I have learned that there is often a strong link between having a strong visionary leader at a company, who is also a majority shareholder. This leader usually sees this business as their legacy, and they are very passionate about growing and preserving that legacy. This aligns their goals with the goals of ordinary shareholders to a certain extent. In the cases of the visionary founders listed in this article, shareholders benefited handsomely by the arrangement. By identifying someone who is passionate about their work, and has a majority ownership interest in that enterprise, investors would be wise to buy that stock.

The Importance of Corporate Governance for Successful Income Investing

Fergus Cullen: Will NH Republicans learn the lessons from Tuesday?
There is no education in the second kick of a mule. In 2006, New Hampshire Republicans suffered their worst defeat ever. After recovering in 2010, this week the Republican Party finds itself back in 2006, facing the same existential questions about why disaster struck and what to do about it.
My answer today is the same as it was then: The Republican Party and its candidates don't need to moderate or compromise their conservative philosophy, but they do need to modernize and adapt those principles to changing times, stop re-fighting yesterday's battles, and focus as much on earning the trust of centrist voters as on satisfying their own base.
Political pendulums are always in motion, but speeds this fast and arcs this big are historically unprecedented. In 2006, the GOP lost a then-unheard of 97 seats in the Legislature. Just two years ago, Democrats lost 130. This week Republicans lost at least 126 seats in the House and Senate. The parties have traded legislative majorities three times in four elections. The national election produced a status quo result, with little change in Washington, but New Hampshire got hit by a rogue one-state wave. The blame goes not to Mitt Romney, who ran a good campaign and poured resources into the state; or to Ovide Lamontagne, whose campaign should have been good enough.
The drag on the ticket was the motley crew of insular Tea Partiers, Free Staters, birthers, Agenda 21 conspiracy theorists, and borderline anarchists calling themselves Libertarians who dominated the Republican majority in the Legislature, led recklessly by soon-to-be ex-Speaker Bill O'Brien. Together they produced a rolling public relations disaster and did great harm to the Republican brand. Guilt by association worked bottom up and primed voters to believe the worst about Lamontagne. End public education! Ban contraception!
A business tax credit bill sank when a non-germane abortion issue got attached. The reconstituted Redress of Grievances Committee gave a forum to angry dads with axes to grind against judges and ex-wives. An effort to repeal gay marriage failed when a majority of Republicans opposed it; the bill should never have come up for a vote. A state representative dropped a loaded gun during a committee hearing. A veteran woman representative claimed to have been bullied by the speaker to the point of tears. The youthful, hot-headed House Majority Leader resigned in character-driven scandal. Reporters from the capital city newspaper got the silent treatment from the speaker, a punishment usually meted out among middle schoolers.
Centrist voters - and plenty of mainstream Republicans - heard about these things and concluded the inmates were running the asylum. Meanwhile the O'Brien Legislature did everything it could to antagonize component parts of the liberal coalition. The failed, drawn-out fight over right-to-work legislation succeeded in mobilizing the public employee unions. Cutting state aid to the university system by 50 percent made it easy to organize students. Bills pertaining to abortion and gay rights threatened social moderates.
Political parties have to modernize and adapt to changing times, or they become irrelevant, their candidates lose, and their entire shared agenda goes nowhere. Sometimes modernization entails making a strategic retreat, conceding defeat on an issue and moving on. Conservatives have necessarily done this before, coming to terms with the New Deal expansion of government and civil rights. New Hampshire Democrats have done so on the issue of taking The Pledge against a broad-based sales or income tax.
New Hampshire Republicans need to do the same on social issues. Exit polling indicated Governor-elect Maggie Hassan carried women voters by 22 points, 60-38 percent. The Republican electoral strategy can't depend on getting 120 percent of middle-aged white men. Let gay marriage and existing abortion laws stand. Tell voters that regardless of your personal beliefs, you accept these issues as settled law and that you will not refight past battles. Do this, and Republican candidates have a chance to have a conversation with the women and young voters they need to persuade in order to win elections.
It shouldn't take a third kick from a mule for this lesson to sink in.

I am really a bit disappointed that they are not adding Gnome paladins to the mix with cataclysm. I have not been following the development to closely, did they every mention why we aren't getting gnome pally's? I get a real kick out of gnome warriors because they are so small it makes me laugh a bit...I just wish I could pull out a pally version.
85 Tauren Paladin
since there are gnome priests you would think paladins would also enter the mix. I think it has to do with blizz wanting to limit hybrid classes.
because Blood Elf Paladins were bad enough.
That is for sure.

Says the Draenei~

you got interrupted! Snap!
Anyway, the only response we've gotten on Gnome Paladins was that Gnomes aren't really the hardened Religious type. Although, Gnomes can be priests, Paladins are a bit more of believers then them. They are described as the Guardians of the light. Priests just kind of have access to it.
It is a very loose way to say no Gnome Paladins. Tauren got it because of the other half of their goddess, or whatever.
I've wanted to be a Gnome paladin for a couple of years now. I love it when Christmas comes around so I can transform into one with the little Santa Claus outfit. :)
I'd even love to be a Worgen paladin, but that's not gonna happen either.

'Dog Stars' Dwells On The Upside Of Apocalypse

Peter Heller's novel follows protagonist Hig and his dog in a world ravaged by an epidemic and overrun with barbaric thugs. But its fragmented, poetic narrative — complete with a somewhat unconvincing love story — goes a long way toward dealing with the devastation.

2014 Cadillac SRX Videos
Our 2014 Cadillac SRX video reviews give you a quick snapshot of what's new, a summary of basic specs and a high level view of what professional car reviewers think.
2014 Cadillac SRX Video Transcript
Reviewer say the 2014 Cadillac SRX has an upscale interior and a refined drive. But how does it measure up compared with other luxury compact SUVs. Hi, I am Jim Sharifi, Senior Editor with U.S. News Best Cars. Let's take a closer look at the 2014 Cadillac SRX. The SRX was last re-design for the 2010 model year and sees few changes for 2014. Fuel economy is an EPA estimated 17 miles per gallon in the city and 24 on the highway, which is low for the luxury compact SUV. The SRX comes standard with front wheel drive and all wheel drive is available as an option. The SXR is available in four trims and starts at about $37,500.
The 2014 SRX has V6 engine that reviewers say produces ample power. A six speed automatic transmission is standard which some test drivers say shift smoothly, but can be slow to down shift when more power is needed on the highway. They report that the SRX has comfortable ride and controlled handling though most agree that there are more dynamic SUVs in the class. The SRX's steering also earns mixed review, as a few auto writers say it doesn't offer much feedback. Additionally, the breaks are criticized for their spongy paddle feel. Reviewers are largely pleased with the Cadillac SRX's interior, noting its attractive design and premium materials. They say the front seats are comfortable, but find the rear seats a bit tight for taller passengers.
Critics think that the Cadillac's standard CUE Infotainment system can be frustrating the use at first. Though some like the modern appearance it lends to the cabin. The SRX also come standard with the Bose stereo system and Bluetooth, while options include a panoramic sun roof and real seat entrainment system.

text: Look and Learn is fondly remembered by thousands as the classic children's magazine from the 60s and 70s. It covered a vast range of subjects, from bumble bees to rocket science, from English literature to Greek and Roman legend. But history was its chief concern, and its brilliant illustrators filled its pages with beautiful pictures of the past. This lavishly illustrated tribute to the magazine presents a kaleidoscopic journey through time, whose narrative pauses for occasional episodes from the peerless story of The Trigan Empire, a cult feature in the original. The Bumper Book of Look and Learn takes us on a lightning tour of past and future worlds worthy of Doctor Who, and will appeal to all ages.

GenesisGamePro (US)
For side-scrolling enthusiasts or baby-boomer Looney Tuners, this game has more action and excitement than the last, and is right on par with Rabbit Rampage for the SNES. If you're a Taz spaz, you won't see a better game featuring your hairball hero.
GenesisConsoles Plus
Un jeu de plates-formes difficile et varié qui comblera ceux qui ont aimé le premier volet. On s'amuse bien.
GenesisGame Players
Graphics-wise, this game could only be better if it were drawn by Fritz Freling himself. The characters would fool your mom into thinking you were watching TV and not playing a game. Although control of the game is not as smooth as it could be, it's easy enough to command so you won't get aggravated with it and hard enough to keep you from mastering it too quickly. Go get this game!
GenesisAll Game Guide
Taz in Escape from Mars borrows heavily from a certain blue hedgehog's series of games, but it does so in a more than competent manner. Although not as lengthy or as clever as the Sonic games, the production values are obviously high and the game is a lot of fun.
Game GearGamePro (US)
If it weren't for Taz, this game would just be another jump-n-bump adventure. No one thought to spruce things up, leaving us with ho-hum conundrum. Taz is definitely one for the fans, but the rest of us won't spin like crazy.
GenesisVideo Games & Computer Entertainment
So maybe this isn't Sonic the Hedgehog. But who cares? It's another pretty fun platform game; worth a rent.
GenesisElectronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)
The first Tazmanian Devil game wasn't all that hot and thankfully Sega added some game play to this one. The audio still suffers a bit and sometimes, it's hard to find out what to do. The visuals need some help as they are too simple, even fro the cartoon. The new Taz, isn't a bad game, it just needs a little work. If you were one of those who enjoyed the first game, then you'll see that this one is definitely better.
Game GearMega Fun
Auf den ersten Blick begeistert Taz noch richtig: Die Grafik ist im hübschen Comic-Stil gezeichnet und der Sound eher unterhaltend als nervig, doch bei genauerem Betrachten gehen einem die fehlenden Continues, die absolut nicht mehr zeitgemäß sind, und der, für die potentielle Zielgruppe, zu hohe Schwierigkeitsgrad gewaltig auf den Wecker. Die schwammige Steuerung und der unübersichtliche Levelaufbau wirbeln Taz endgültig unter die 60% Hürde.
Game GearVideo Games
Trotzdem bleibt dieses Spiel in jeder Beziehung weit hinter anderen aktuellen Sega-Titel wie Mickey Mouse 3 oder Ristar zurück - halt nur etwas für hartgesottene Taz-Fans.
Taz in Escape from Mars is your classic "one step forward, two steps back" sequel. It doesn't do anything differently except offer a fresh location and some new features. This much is normally good by itself, but when virtually none of the originals shortcomings are addressed and more still are added, it makes the enhancements seem gimmicky. It may just be my nostalgia for the original mixed with great expectations for the sequel, but this game manages only to be slightly better than bad. With a much better soundtrack and some clever level design, or generally just taking the strengths of the original and improving on it, this could have been a gem.
GenesisThe Video Game Critic
Taz eats anything he touches, and bombs tend to be positioned in tight areas that make them hard to avoid. In addition to Mars, the diverse set of stages includes a haunted castle, Mexico, and a planet called "Mole World". Were these left over from the last game or something?? The backgrounds are flat, static, and forgettable. Whoever made this game was just going through the motions, and that's how you'll feel when you play it!

Societe Generale aims to be more female friendly
28 Mar 2011
For the French, increasing the number of women on company boards is no longer an option, it's the law. In January, the country's parliament passed legislation that compels corporates to have a minimum of 20% female representation on their boards within three years and 40% after six years.

One of the biggest challenges we face when building capability models is getting teams to move from functional thinking—the things we do—to capability thinking—the ability we have to do things. Organizations generally create functional teams around capabilities, making it difficult to distinguish the two.
Business Architecture - A Pragmatic Perspective
Business Architecture is no longer just an emerging discipline or an "interesting concept." While far from being mature, it is increasingly being leveraged by enterprises to provide tangible value.
At The Intersection of Business and IT
Strategy, architecture, projects, business, IT. Think about these words and how they are related. Just taking any two at a time yields dozens of abstractions, relationships, scenarios, metaphors, deliverables, processes, perceptions, and misperceptions. Volumes have been written. When looking at all five together, the complexity and number of variations expand exponentially.
Business Capability Models - Why You Might Be Missing Out on Better Business Outcomes
In this article, I will explore practical examples for developing and applying a Business Capability Model and answer questions such as:
Part 2: How to Make Enterprise Architecture Strategic
In this second part, enterprise architecture is considered from the perspective of more contemporary views of strategy such as dynamic capabilities, strategy as ecology, and core competencies. The article concludes with an analysis of the common themes that define enterprise irrespective of which strategy approach is selected.
Inside A Digital Transformation
Unless you've been living under a rock, it will be no surprise to hear that the global economy has its challenges. Instead of waiting for global corrections, companies have resorted to solely relying upon themselves for growth. However, with its narrow tolerance for error, self-growth is typically the most challenging.

...going from a jesus to a god and then to a co-creator spirit within in this ascension process....i have grown within since the thread started so please bare with me..777=7.77 food pH level in the body...so if you want to be a god/creator in your temple and your kingdom>...first you must become a "jesus" in your temple/body and kingdom/mind with the keys...the first key is die-t<see the cross and the word die...and the second key is manna which is potassium iodide KI crystals<it looks like white colander seed as the codebook describes it...the diet and manna is to flush out all unnatural foods/drinks we have stored since birth because our kingdom/pineal gland and other 7 parts of your brain and temple/body, stores it instead of burns it or passes it out...eat what the codebook tells us to put into our body/temple and taking our manna and in about 6-8 months to clean our temple and kingdom out to be the jesus,but we continue the manna and diet... we will be god/creator spirit in our temple and kingdom with the 3rd key of positive attitude/thinking and remembering we are spirit within
...Romans 8:14>we all can be a jesus... sulfur based microscopic parasites live in mud critters>cattle,pigs,catfish,founder,etc. and is the hell referred to by "jesus" because cooking doesn't kill them(worms)..."their worm does not die and the flame is not quenched" is said of people in hell...and today's grocery store meat is also packed full of chemicals...only ocean fish doesn't have chemicals added and the jesus symbol is the fish with scales,but not bottom dwelling fish in the die-t
...this is how i because a "jesus" then a "god" in my own temple and kingdom and then a co-creator as i remembered i/we are spirit within that created the religious concepts...die-t and manna will get you to jesus state,then maintaining the 2 keys with the 3rd key will get you to a godlike state in your temple and your kingdom and then into our co-creator spirit within state...these keys i/we give to everyone....the bible is also metaphors of our ego traits freewill,humility,pride,desire and vanity to hang upon our cross and die to as humility at the head of the cross cry's out for the creator...pride and vanity are nailed together at the feet as free will and desire are nailed at the hands...the statute of liberty has 7 points in it crown because of the 2 sides of the brain,pineal gland,pituitary gland,thalamus,cerebellum and medulla...the torch symbolizes the pineal gland lit like a burning flame... the 8th brain part that all together form the divine feminine...and the bible is also about our 6 senses..
PS as "gods" code book gave us the diet and manna ,we must supply the other 3 keys of an open mind ,an open heart and positive thinking/attitude to produce the 5 pointed star of venus the morning star to rise in our hearts..after maintaining that, the 6 pointed star of 3 points above and 3 points below will be given making us a co-creator in our temple and kingdom...(((here's an recent edit ,the longer i have used the keys i remembered we are all co-creators with the same shared spirit and our spirit existed before the creation making us co-creators instead of gods,goddesses,saviors or prophets,

Oregon Trail Is the Oregon Trailby Gregory Sherl
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Poetry. Loosely or not so loosely based on the iconic computer game The Oregon Trail, THE OREGON TRAIL IS THE OREGON TRAIL chronicles the journey of a family on their way out West. Along the way, they fight dysentery, a racist Mel Gibson, syphilis, and consumption while learning that letting go is sometimes easier than starting over. Read the book, play the game, and never welcome the small pox welcome wagon. We have done bad things, and we will pay for them.
About the Author
Gregory Sherl is the author of HEAVY PETTING (YesYes Books, 2011), THE OREGON TRAIL IS THE OREGON TRAIL (Mud Luscious Press, 2012), and Monogamy Songs (Future Tense Books, 2012). His poetry has appeared in Columbia Poetry Review, Gargoyle, Redactions Poetry and Poetics, New Delta Review, and PANK.

- Studio: Sony Pictures Classics
- Release Date: Aug 3, 2005
- Starring: Alessandro Nivola, Embeth Davidtz
- Summary: When Madeleine (Davidtz), a British-born dealer in regional, "outsider" art, travels from Chicago to North Carolina to pursue a local painter for her gallery, she and her brand-new, younger husband George (Nivola) extend the trip to include an introduction to his family. Madeleine confronts the difficulty of two cultures colliding, and discovers the tumultuous outcome as these separate ways of life must coexist. (Sony Pictures Classics)… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 29 out of 34
Mixed: 5 out of 34
Negative: 0 out of 34
Ensemble casts like this are not easy to come by. Adams is something more than that -- a brilliant young comedian bursting into bloom.
Manages to be one of the genuinely fresh discoveries of the summer, a little gem that deserves to become a big sleeper hit.
With its wise understanding of the magnetic pull (and invisible polarities) of family, Junebug is an auspicious debut for Morrison.
Not merely a sitcom of cultural clash. Screenwriter Angus Maclachlan has delicately etched a compelling portrait of a way of life whose decencies and simplicities are often dismissed as being "unsophisticated."
Combining the tragic and the comic, this drama is amateurish in places, but it's a triumph of atmosphere (the makers are both North Carolinians) and the acting is first-rate.
An admirable film, but its charms will be visible only to the most patient filmgoers.
Score distribution:
Positive: 33 out of 43
Mixed: 5 out of 43
Negative: 5 out of 43
Jun 7, 2013A simple, yet profound picture of the family. Amy Adams is a revelation and is the real heart and soul of the film; she gives an adorable but tragic performance well deserving of her Oscar nomination.… Expand
Aug 23, 2010A film that I found quite scary though it wasn't a scary film by any means. How an outsider affects the nearest and dearest of your own nearest and dearest and left me wondering how I would myself, a Britisher like Embeth Davidz's character, cope with a real American family. It felt so alien. I must see more of the Real America. New York it ain't!… Expand
May 31, 2013The best parts of this movie are easily when Adams is on screen giving her hilarious and very moving performance. This is still her best work to date. However, when she is not on screen, the movie is filled with boring camera shots and awkward conversations that try to pass as "art", but I am not convinced. It also dragged big time by the end, but it was still a somewhat satisfying little film.… Expand
Apr 25, 2013Junebug attempts to explore the enormous cultural and social gulf between red and blue state America by honing in on the disconnects between individuals, particularly family members and spouses. It's all handled with intelligence and care, but carries no dramatic weight. Much of the animosity amongst these characters is revealed by what isn't said, and in Junebug that's a lot. So much so that it's difficult to care what the reasons actually are.… Expand

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Next month, voters head to the polls and could elect a man who died back in June.
The late Rochester city council president, Dennis Hanson, had filed for re-election.
But here's the wrinkle. His name has stayed on the ballot because of a glitch in state law. His family is asking for your support because a vote for Hanson would force a special session --something the family said is important for the democratic process.
Because of a Minnesota law, Hanson's family can't remove his name from the ballot - or add a new candidate in his place.
That leaves Hanson and only one other person on the ballot - Jan Throndson - who most likely would win since Hanson is deceased.
The family says that is not a fair election.
"He always wanted to run against someone; it wasn't fair if he wasn't opposed," said Hanson's wife Linda.
After the family couldn't get Hanson's name off the ballot when he died unexpectedly in June, they say they knew they had to keep campaigning for him.
"We know it's what he would want," Linda Hanson said.
If Hanson wins, the city would need to have a special election.
And that is the only way to have a race with two living candidates on the ballot.
"We're not supporting or against anyone; we just want to make sure that voters have two choices," Hanson said.
The family says they are aware of the write in campaign, but they say it is not a fair election unless both names are on the ballot.
"It's just harder to get elected that way," Hanson said. "We want everyone to have a fair shot."

Apple releases iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone
Apple has released iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone, the first update to the iOS since the release of 4.0 on June 21. According to Apple's release notes, the 4.0.1 Software Update "improves the formula to determine how many bars of signal strength to display." Apple promised this fix in a press release earlier this month; it remains to be seen whether it also addresses the ongoing proximity sensor issue, as well. The iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4 is available now via the Update feature in iTunes.

Installing and using 4.0 on my iPhone 3G was generally a disaster from the hours it took to install it to the slowness of the phone post install. However, 4.0.1 installed quickly and seemed to fix the slowness problem with the 3G. I've got my old reliable companion back. Maybe some of the other folks who have experienced the problems post install of 4.0 should give it a try.
Posted by hshuman in Fort Worth, TX 76102 on July 17, 2010 at 1:01 PM (CDT)
MY iphone, amongst many others packed up last night after the failed 4.0.1 update, but I got it back in the end.
Basically, while my phone was in restore mode (white apple logo on screen) I found the "Appdata" folder and removed the 4.0.1 update file from there, then I reinstalled itunes after also deleting everything to do with apple and itunes from my PC (windows 7), plugged in my frozen iphone with fresh itunes install open and followed on screen prompts to restore it and VOILA !!! it worked with a full working version of 4.0.1 and no glitches it seems in it so far.
One thing to note is, I turned off Norton, and I did have to put all my apps, vidoes and music back on though, but thats a small price to pay to have my iphone working again.
Hope other people find this useful and get their phones working again.
Posted by Andy on July 22, 2010 at 4:37 AM (CDT)
I installed the update, no problem. I have this app, Papaya, and it doesn't work anymore with this or the previous update. No jailbreaking software yet :( My iPod isn't going as fast anymore, and the volume isn't really working so well. I have to press the volume button continuously for awhile until the volume actually starts going up/down. And, my friends can change their iPod backgrounds behind the apps? I can't.

(WMC) – A man arrested four months after allegedly killing his estranged wife is due in court on Thursday.
On Wednesday, April 30, Jackson, Tenn. police charged 30-year-old John Christie with first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Brittany Christie.
An autopsy revealed she died from a combination of drugs on December 6, 2013.
Investigators learned that John and Brittany Christie had recently begun seeing each other again.
The two had been sharing a room at the Old Hickory Inn in Jackson. While they were there, John gave Brittany clonazepam that made her helpless and then injected her with heroin.
According to investigators, he gave Brittany the overdose of drugs to prevent her from revealing their relationship to his girlfriend.
John Christie is due in Jackson City Court via video arraignment on Thursday morning.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - The Western Carolina men's basketball team has racked up some serious frequent flier miles and hotel rewards this week.
Unfortunately, that has come at the expense of victories.
Virginia Tech jumped on the road-weary Catamounts right from the opening tip, as Jarell Eddie scored 17 points to lead the Hokies to a 79-61 win over Western Carolina on Friday.
The Hokies (2-1) led the entire way and had a 20-point halftime lead. Eddie scored 10 of his 17 in the first half for Virginia Tech, which shot 51.6 percent on 16-of-31 shooting in the first 20 minutes.
"Coach had told us that they had played at Oregon two days ago," Eddie said. "We hit them in the mouth early. It's good to get off to a start that way and not have that slow start when we're down a few points. Being able to stop them from the get-go ... it really worked out for us.
"That was the emphasis in the shoot-around (earlier Friday). The way to do that was to get early stops, and we were able to put together some consecutive stops. That was good for us, and then we were able to capitalize on offense."
Western Carolina (2-2) left Tuesday to make a 2,700-mile trek to Eugene, Ore., to play Oregon on Wednesday night and then flew across the country Thursday to play the Hokies in Blacksburg on Friday. The Catamounts got on a bus following the game and headed to Lynchburg, Va., where they play a game Saturday against Liberty.
The Catamounts also had played a home game against UNC Asheville on Monday, meaning they have played four games in six days.
"We owed a return game to Liberty as part of the BracketBusters," Western Carolina coach Larry Hunter said. "Rather than make this long trip again, we decided to play back to back (Virginia Tech and Liberty). We didn't have Oregon in there originally.
"I know Dana (Altman, Oregon's head coach) pretty well, and they had someone drop out at the last minute and we still had an opening. Of course, I had to fit their schedule, and they had that date set. It was a good trip for our guys. It was just tough.
"If I gave you our travel schedule, it was brutal this week. But it was a good experience, too."
Fatigue appeared to play a role against the Hokies. Western Carolina scored just three points in the first eight minutes - all on free throws. The Catamounts missed their first 11 shots and didn't hit a field goal until Justin Browning's basket with 10:31 left in the first half.
The Catamounts shot just 22.2 percent on 6-of-27 shooting in the first half. They only made 32.8 percent (20 of 61) for the game, including 3-of-25 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc.
"We talked about getting off to a good start, which is something we hadn't done in our first two games," Virginia Tech coach James Johnson said. "I thought we did that tonight, and it started on the defensive end of the floor. We got stops. We got consecutive stops, and we were able to put the ball in the hole."
"We were aware of their travel schedule, but it was more important for us to get off to a good start because of our starts the last couple of games."
The Catamounts cut the lead to 53-43 on two free throws by Browning with 7:43 left, but got no closer. Virginia Tech's Trevor Thompson then hit two free throws, and after a turnover by Western Carolina's Brandon Boggs, the Hokies' Devin Wilson added two more free throws with 7:27 remaining to push the lead to 57-43. The Catamounts got no closer than 12 the rest of the game.
James Sinclair led the Catamounts with 16 points. Trey Sumler, who scored 29 points in the Catamounts' loss at Oregon, finished with 11 on just 5-of-14 shooting.
"I don't want to use that (fatigue) as an excuse," Hunter said of the traveling. "I'm sure the kids are a little tired, and it's draining. But we just weren't very good in the first half. Let's be honest about it. We didn't shoot the ball very well, and we allowed that to frustrate us some. It really wasn't a pretty first half, but they were a little better than we were. At the end of the half, I thought they got a lot better, and they opened it up."
The Hokies also got 16 points from Ben Emelogu, and Thompson added 15 and 11 rebounds. Emelogu, who made 5 of 9 from the floor, and Thompson, who hit 4 of 7, accounted for 31 of the Hokies' 40 bench points.

Rofl XD I would never expect that to be the joke. That was hilarious! Art and sound very good, and the voice acting made it juuuust right. Really good! Vote 5!
What gemi said...
You really could see that punchline from the start...
Perhaps if you would played it off a little smoother it would have came out better.
Not a surprise
Good animation and good voice work, but the punchline? Saw that coming a mile away. Good, just not laugh- or replay-worthy.
Simple, yet clever. And well executed. Well done.
You took a simple and classic joke and made it into something completely hilarious... Lol I'm still laughing while writing this... "I don't get it" That was awsome!!

Lost – Pilot
I've heard lots of good rumours about this programme, but haven't actually read anything about it, didn't want to get spoiled if I decided to watch it.
RTE showed the pilot (2 episodes) back to back last Monday, and there wasn't much else on so I figured I may as well watch it. So far it is okay, I'm not sure why there has been so much raving about how great it is. Then again, I can't really judge after only one episode.

maybe they are gardening
I would like to add Evening Primrose. I introduced one plant into my garden and I am overrun by it now. I reckon every seed ever produce by the plant has germinated.
As it's an old cottage it is possible that the concrete is to cap a well if it's close to the kitchen.
You can get round yellow courgettes. Why not pick one and cut it open?
The sucker definitely looks like a Viburnum, I've been out in my gardxen with the laptop to compare to my snowball tree. What a mystery. Do you belong to the RHS as they offer advice and identification to members for free
I have 4 tomatoes that I reckon I can pick around Monday. First mini crop of beans yesterday. Things are looking up
The 2m guide also only relates to evergreen hedges. I back onto farmland and can do nothing about the hedge my 'kind' farmer planted and then failed to cut except trim back the side.
4711, you could have seen a Darter, they would fit your description
Lovely pictures. It's amazing what plants can survive.
The RHS website has a plant finder facility that lists suppliers by area.

The excellent picture quality and unique interactive features of the Samsung LN46A750 flat-panel LCD TV aren't quite worth the higher price tag.
If you don't mind its red frame, the Samsung LN52A650 LCD TV will reward you with a massive feature set and excellent picture quality.
The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD TV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance.
The Samsung LNB750 series can't beat the picture quality of the best plasmas and LED-based LCDs, but for a conventional LCD, it's one of the best we've tested.
If you don't mind its red frame, the Samsung LN52A650 LCD TV will reward you with a massive feature set and excellent picture quality.
Solid picture quality propels the Samsung LN32A450 LCD TV to the front of small-screen class.

Well...little Fascist....control of the narrative and demonization of your opposition is what you strive for...history shows this to be true. I can play the "redefinition" and "deflection" game too...... Why do you "progressives" howl and hyperventilate when a bunch of "white" kids are killed BUT you are silent on the body count of BLACK children in the abattoir's otherwise known as Chicago, Detroit, DC, Lansing, Camden...et al....are by definition MASS MURDER. These cities have some of the nations strictest gun control laws....yet somehow the murder of African American children is unabated. These cities have even had "gun bans" in place before Brown vs. Chicago and the slaughter was common place. EXPLAIN THAT
