Third Point suffered through a difficult second quarter, but firm found Daniel Loeb told clients that things are already looking up in the third.
Third Point's flagship Offshore fund lost 2.5% during the second three months of the year, cutting its year-to-date gain to 3.9%, well off the pace of the broader markets, which soared in the first quarter. But Loeb said some of his losing bets have started to pay off again since the end of June.
"The weakness in overall performance can be explained primarily by our long exposure to cyclical and industrial names, which suffered disproportionately as the risk off trade picked up steam through Q2," Loeb wrote. The losses were a result of "renewed worries over U.S. weakness and pervasive concerns about a Chinese hard landing, which punished any assets linked to global growth."
Loeb rehearsed his by-now familiar criticisms of President Barack Obama, calling the man he backed for the White House four years about "unable to articulate or implement policies to spark growth and reduce unemployment."
He did not rehearse his familiar criticisms of Yahoo!, one of his largest investments. Loeb has pushed for—and won—board seats and big changes at the Internet company, and offered praise for its new CEO, former Google Inc. executive Marissa Mayer. Yahoo! was Third Point's "biggest winner for the period."

Hi George, sorry I haven't been able to reply sooner. Yes, I am aware of many discrepancies from the people posting their info. I just wish they would give us specific details on the sources so we could check it out. Meanwhile, yes I have been researching these lines for a while, but mostly over the past 14 years or so. My aunt researched prior to that a little. My late maternal grandmother had a fantastic knowledge of the family, but was kind enough never to have written it down at all and so took it with her when she left. Of course we all were equally guilty in not doing it ourselves. Oh well..... ha ha Happy Hunting, Patti

In good news this Saturday, a community children's sale was held at the Mt. Olivet Methodist Church in Bethlehem to benefit the Children's Miracle Network. Organizer Kara Stidd says the "Moms Helping Moms" event is held twice a year.
Her family puts on the event in honor of her niece, who was born a micro-preemie, and spent over three months in the hospital. Kara says all of the money raised is donated to the Children's Miracle Network to thank them for her care.
They had a great turnout today with plenty of sellers and buyers. Children's entertainment was also on hand.

Dunedin - The Highlanders held off a late fightback from the Melbourne Rebels for a gritty 33-30 win in Dunedin on Friday.
Both sides scored three tries apiece but poor discipline cost the Rebels as they failed to build on last week's stunning win over the Brumbies.
"We've got to find a bit of consistency," Rebels captain Scott Higginbotham said.
"Penalties are hurting us. We're getting down into the opposition 20 and losing the ball. It's disappointing, something we've got to work on."
The Rebels, Higginbotham in particular, showed flashes off brilliance but could not maintain pressure against a Highlanders' defence that captain Ben Smith said did not take a backward step.
"We showed a bit of ticker, when they got a try we came right back at them," he said.
The Rebels, full of confidence after downing the Brumbies, attacked from the outset.
They were rewarded after just six minutes with a try to former Highlander Scott Fuglistaller after scrumhalf Nic Stirzaker slipped through the defence to set him up.
Stirzaker's opposite number Aaron Smith thought he had evened the ledger five minutes later, only to have his effort disallowed because of a forward pass.
Flank Shane Christie made no mistake two minutes later, scoring the Highlanders' first try after the Rebels spilled the ball in their eagerness to attack.
Aaron Smith made it two for the Highlanders when he wrong-footed Rebels fullback Jason Woodward to make it 17-10.
The sides exchanged penalties to make it 20-13 at the break but the Rebels evened it up just after the restart when Higginbotham intercepted a stray pass then sent a perfectly weighted kick into the path of Angus Roberts.
The Highlanders hit back through fullback Ben Smith, who scored in the corner after a period of sustained pressure on the Rebels' tryline.
Fullback Jason Woodward narrowed the gap to three points with four minutes to go but the Highlanders were able to hold on for the win.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/05/12 -- Innotas, a leading provider of Cloud Solutions for IT Management, today announced that its Project Portfolio Management (PPM) and Application Portfolio Management (APM) solutions now offer integration with OneLogin, the innovator in identity management. This integration provides Innotas users with single sign-on (SSO) capabilities for its Innotas PPM and APM solutions, making it easier for users to access its software, while giving IT administrators a single point of control for managing users securely and efficiently across business tools.
"We are committed to delivering innovative and user-friendly solutions that help our customers to access, manage, and measure the work that their IT staff generates for their business," said Kevin Kern, President and CEO of Innotas. "OneLogin's SSO solution gives Innotas customers easy access to all of their applications, including our solution, CRM, ERP, agile development tools, email and much more, while delivering increased security."
OneLogin for Innotas is free for all of its customers and gives IT administrators a single point of control for managing users across various locations. With OneLogin, there is a reduction of time and costs to access the Innotas platform, and it eliminates the need for users to juggle multiple passwords and user names.
"We designed our Cloud ISV partner program to help our partners remove the challenge of integrating their cloud applications with on-premise directories like Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP," said Thomas Pedersen, chief executive officer of OneLogin. "Innotas is one of more than fifty vendors who have used our open source toolkits to SAML-enable their application."
Single sign-on (SSO) uses centralized authentication servers that all other applications and systems utilize for authentication purposes, and combines this with techniques to ensure that users do not have to manually enter their credentials more than once. SSO overcomes password fatigue where users tend to use the same username and password, not realizing that if one vendor is compromised, accounts on other systems are put at risk too. Additionally, having to type in user names and passwords over and over again can significantly reduce an employee's productivity. Benefits of SSO include:
- Users can login in once and bypass the login process for all web applications that are configured for SSO
- IT organizations can centralize access control to one location where password policies can be enforced and users can be disabled across all applications
- Provides enhanced password security since user passwords are only exchanged between the web browser and the chosen Identity Provider (IdP)
- Users don't have to remember multiple usernames and passwords: SSO ensures password authority for many applications
About OneLogin
OneLogin is the innovator in enterprise identity management and provides the industry's most comprehensive solution for managing user identities, both in the cloud and behind the firewall. Unique capabilities like Cloud Search and OneLogin for iPad break down SaaS data silos and increase productivity. OneLogin's cloud identity platform comes complete with secure single sign-on for web, mobile and iPad, federated search, user provisioning, deep directory integration with real-time user sync, out-of-band multi-factor authentication, VPN integration and compliance reporting. OneLogin's catalog contains thousands of pre-integrated applications, including Asure Software, Coupa, Box, DocuSign, Egnyte, EchoSign, Google Apps, Innotas, LotusLive, NetSuite, Microsoft Office 365, Oracle CRM On-Demand, Parature, Salesforce.com, SuccessFactors, WebEx, Workday, Yammer, ServiceNow, Zscaler and Zendesk.

- Report: Joan Rivers Being Taken Out of Coma
By Kat Giantis
When Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth got engaged last June, the general reaction was less "mazel tov!" and more "Yeah, good luck with that." And after months of rift rumors, and some hedge-betting by no less than Miley's dad, the drumbeat of doom is growing ever louder for the lovebirds.
A week after Life & Style claimed the capricious couple had postponed a planned summer wedding to "work out their issues," People has echoed the purported "I do" delay, reporting that Miley, 20, and Liam, 23, have come to the same conclusion as everyone else: They should hold off getting hitched.
"They want to figure out their life together before they get married," explains an insider. "They're still engaged and living together. They just realized that there is no rush with the wedding, and that it's better that they wait a bit."
Translation: Perhaps it might be a good idea for the bride to be able to drink champagne legally before committing to forever.
The "Last Song" twosome have been dating off-and-on for more than three years, but the romance reportedly hit the skids in March amid talk that the actor cozied up to January Jones at an Oscars bash. He took off for an extended visit with family in his native Australia, while his inhale-happy fiancée stepped out sans her hefty engagement ring.
By the time Hemsworth returned to their Los Angeles home, the sparkler was back on Cyrus' finger, and she was insisting the nuptials were still a go.
This week, Billy Ray Cyrus sidestepped questions on whether he was worried about his daughter walking down the aisle before she can, say, rent a car.
"Now, as far as when they get married or if they get married, that's not my ball game," evaded the "Achy Breaky" warbler, who is out promoting his book, "Hillbilly Heart." "They'll figure that out themselves."
Still, it sounds like he made their betrothal as awkward as possible, especially when Hemsworth asked for his permission.
"He's got a really sweet side to him and he came in. They had the big rock," recalls Billy Ray to "Access Hollywood." "They [were] all bashful about it and then said, 'Hey, look at this.' And Miley was showin' that ring, and Liam kind of [said] a little something to me -- it was kind of the professional question, and I jokingly [said], 'Can I be in your brother's next movie?' And then I said, 'No, I'm joking.'"
If Miley and Liam do end up tying the knot, expect Chris Hemsworth to give Billy Ray a wide berth at the reception.

While a lot of fans have already started writing the obituary for TNA, the company is moving forward as usual. Dixie Carter has yet to secure a new television deal for Impact Wrestling, and there are rumors that Spike TV is not interested in signing a new contract, but the company continues to sign wrestlers to extensions and is actually bringing in some new ones as well.
August 3, 2014
While many fans are expecting TNA to cease operations in the near future, the company is going against the grain by signing several wrestlers to contract extensions. Today, the company announced that Zema Ion has been signed to a new multiple year deal. The belief is that the company is also hoping to lock down more performers before the year ends.
July 31, 2014
In a sign that the financial situation in TNA is not as bad as many make it out to be, the company has signed new deals with three of their performers. Sam Shaw and Brooke Tessmacher are signed to new multiple year contracts, while international star Seiya Sanada has agreed to a one year deal. There were a lot of concerns about the company when they released several performers, so much of that should be alleviated now that they are signing new deals with their workers.
July 23, 2014
While he has already said his farewell to Ring of Honor fans, Kevin Steen is reportedly not under contract to WWE just yet. Word has it that he has yet to complete the medical testing that the company requires all new performers to undergo before signing a deal. If there are any lingering injuries, then there is a chance that Steen might not be picked up by the WWE developmental program.
July 16, 2014
Shortly after Chris Jericho made his surprising return on Monday Night Raw, the Wyatt Family provided a surprise of their own when Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan suddenly appeared in the ring to attack the former undisputed champion. When Wyatt was in NXT, Jericho specifically requested to WWE officials to let him work with Wyatt. The belief is that he did so again upon signing a contract to return.
July 1, 2014
Through social media, Jillian Hall revealed to her fans that she is back to working on an autobiography. There is some skepticism as to how well the book will sell, as her name value drops the longer she has been away from WWE. It has been nearly four years since her release from the company. It also does not appear to be much interest from TNA in signing her, either. That will make it much more difficult for her to move the books.
June 29, 2014
A bit of a buzz was created for Cryme Tyme over the weekend, thanks to an interview on TMZ, where Shad Gaspard and JTG informed the fans that they are now teaming up again on the independent wrestling circuit. Gaspard decided to fan the flames even further when he posted on Twitter that the duo should contact Dixie Carter about perhaps signing a contract with TNA.
June 23, 2014
In case you did not catch Impact Wrestling this week, Samoa Joe made his return to TNA. He received a bit of a pop as he came back to save Eric Young and Bully Ray from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley in the final segment of the show. Upon signing with TNA, MVP specifically mentioned Samoa Joe as a performer that he wanted to work against, so that feud could be happening soon.
May 30, 2014
With Angelina Love making her return to TNA after several years away from the company, that has sparked the itch in another former Knockout. Taylor Wilde, who was a former champion in the company, wants to return to TNA. No word yet on whether or not Dixie Carter is interested in a reunion, as the company has been rather busy signing performers as of late.
May 6, 2014
The original Sin Cara is signing a contract with AAA soon. The belief is that he is still waiting for his non compete clause with WWE to expire. The company did not deem him to be valuable enough to sign to a contract extension last year. It will be interesting to see what name he utilizes in AAA, as WWE owns Sin Cara and CMLL owns Mistico.
April 26, 2014
In responding to fans online, Mick Foley admitted that he is losing out on some money by not signing a new contract with WWE. He is rejecting the company because of principals, as he feels that talent was not paid appropriately for the last two video games that were released. Foley also admitted that his relationship with WWE is strained even further because of his decision.
April 24, 2014
Through Facebook, Mick Foley revealed to fans the reason why he is not signing a new contract with WWE. He feels that the company has not been paying out a fair amount of royalties for the previous two video games. In fact, Foley states that it is probably just a fourth of what the WWE stars should be receiving. Thus, he has decided to move on.
April 23, 2014
Since professional wrestlers are now intertwined with comic book conventions, Big Show has just become the latest WWE star to sign on for a Wizard World appearance. He will be doing the event in Atlanta, which will be the first time it is being held in that city. Big Show will be signing autographs, taking pictures and answering questions with fans.
April 19, 2014
In a rather peculiar move, WWE instructed the security personnel at Monday Night Raw to remove any signs that involves Sting. Rumors have spread this week that the legendary performer was close to signing a deal to finally join WWE. The belief is that management wants to ensure that his arrival is a surprise, even though most fans online have already heard about the possibility of his debut.
April 15, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Mick Foley is looking into the possibility of signing a contract with Ring of Honor. The hardcore legend is apparently a free agent now that his contract with WWE has expired. Foley was also recently spotted at a comedy show wearing a ROH tee shirt. No word yet on whether or not the company has interest in signing him.
April 12, 2014
Some bad news for those of you that have been waiting for Ezekiel Jackson to return to the main roster. He is no longer with WWE. Jackson revealed that his contract with the company expired over the weekend. Management was not interested in signing him to a new deal, as they would much rather focus on developing a new person instead.
April 7, 2014
While his potential involvement at Wrestlemania 30 has yet to be confirmed by WWE, Rob Van Dam will certainly be in New Orleans this weekend, as he is one of the slew of professional wrestlers who have been booked for the WrestleCon event taking place in the Louisiana. RVD has a signing on Saturday, but he is free on Sunday night to work a big pay per view match.
April 4, 2014
Even though he has not been officially announced by WWE as taking part in Wrestlemania 30, Bret Hart will be in New Orleans this upcoming weekend. The former world heavyweight champion has been booked by the promoters of WrestleCon to show up at their event. He will be meeting fans, taking pictures and signing autographs.
April 4, 2014
At the Wizard World Comic Con this weekend in Louisville, Randy Orton will be making an appearance at the event. The news is a bit interesting as this was the show that CM Punk was originally scheduled to be at before he walked out on WWE. Orton will be taking pictures and signing autographs, but he is not going to be answering questions from fans.
March 26, 2014
A wrestling promoter in England is banking on Sean Waltman still having some drawing power. The former WWE star has been booked to make an appearance at a Southside Wrestling event in May. While he is prominently featured on the advertisements, he is reportedly just there for an autograph signing.
March 23, 2014
Since Batista is now openly talking about what retirement match he would like to do, the belief within the industry is that they would not be shocked if he were to leave WWE in the near future. The success of Guardians of the Galaxy and the signing of the sequel basically ensures that Batista will be involved with the Marvel Universe, which is really thriving now, for the next several years.
August 19, 2014
Josh Mathews might not be out of a job for too long. Rumors are floating around that TNA is very close to signing him to a contract. When he was backstage at Impact Wrestling, he did not seem like a typical visitor, as management was introducing him to people backstage. The belief is that he would be a valuable asset since he understands a lot about the production in WWE.
July 25, 2014
Over the last couple of months, there have been plenty of rumors in regards to WWE signing international star Prince Devitt to a contract. Things heated up even more when he left New Japan. Things died down a bit when no announcement was made, but it looks like the rumor mills are heating up again. Reports are surfacing that the deal has now been reached, and he should be showing up to developmental soon.
July 23, 2014
Rumors are floating around that Matt Hardy is leaving ROH very soon. His contract is set to expire, and the belief is that neither side is interested in signing an extension. Ring of Honor officials are said to be upset with Hardy for working a couple of episodes of Impact Wrestling for TNA recently. There are also rumors that Hardy is headed back to TNA on a more permanent basis.
July 12, 2014
With his career in MMA coming to a close soon, Rashad Evans wants to make the jump from UFC to WWE. Rumors are floating around right now that he has already contacted WWE to gauge their interest in signing him. Vince McMahon is not a huge fan of MMA, but he does know that UFC fighters have name value. Triple H is reportedly said to be interested in bringing Evans on board.
July 10, 2014
When LeiD Tapa was released by TNA back in March, there were rumors that she might be a candidate to join the WWE developmental program. However, the company has shown very little interest thus far. In fact, she has not even been invited for a tryout yet. While some are citing her lack of experience, which she is trying to fix by working with OVW, many are pointing out that WWE has had no qualms with signing female performers who have absolutely no experience in the wrestling industry before.
July 8, 2014
Some rumors are floating around this weekend that WWE is trying to sign Samoa Joe. The source of the speculations is said to be due to the fact that Triple H briefly followed Joe on Twitter. Sources are saying that Joe followed HHH back on the social media site, which means that they had the option for two way communications for a period of time this weekend. WWE has long avoided the signing of Joe, so this would be quite an interesting move if true.
July 6, 2014
Many were under the impression that WWE was not interested in signing Rosita, as nothing took place after she did tryouts with the company. However, there are rumors floating around that management might have had a change of heart. Many see her appearances as an entourage of Adam Rose recently as a sign that WWE will be offering her a developmental contract soon.
July 3, 2014
Yesterday, Josh Mathews received his release from WWE, losing his dream job because the company needed to save money. The announcer decided that he was not going to just sit around and mope. Instead, Mathews is backstage at the Impact Wrestling taping, which is taking place in New York City. The belief is that he is gauging to see if there is any interest from TNA in signing him to a contract.
June 26, 2014
When Global Force Wrestling finally gets started, the belief is that Jeff Jarrett will have a female division, as he saw firsthand the amount of success TNA had with the Knockouts. An interesting name is being rumored as a possible signing. Kharma could be utilized as one of the centerpieces of the division in GFW. She has some name value thanks to her stint in WWE and TNA.
June 20, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Sting will be included in the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game, which is scheduled to be released in October. Speculations arose recently because Sting appears to be on the verge of signing a legends contract with the company, which would enable WWE to use his likeness on merchandise. The belief is that Sting will be a bonus to those that order early.
June 5, 2014
Rumors have it that WWE has been signing some of the best international talent to their developmental program. Names like Kevin Steen, Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi have surfaced as potential candidates to join the company later on this year. Unfortunately, though, WWE will not be bringing in Sarita, long considered one of the best international female performers in the business. She received a tryout with the company back in March but no contract has been offered.
June 4, 2014
While the possibility looked bleak initially, it appears that WWE is set to sign Kevin Steen to a developmental contract. Optimism for his signing was not very high after he received a tryout with the company. However, someone in the WWE front office has convinced management to give the former ROH champion a chance, despite his physical appearance not being up to the company's standards.
May 19, 2014
Earlier this year, the hot rumors were that Kenta Kobayashi was going to be signing with WWE after the Japanese star came to the United States and did a tryout for the company. The industry was a bit shocked recently when it was announced that Kobayashi was leaving Pro Wrestling NOAH, his longtime home. The belief is that he no longer wants to work the physically demanding style in Japan.
May 8, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE purposely kept John Cena off of Monday Night Raw this past week because they wanted to spike viewership for the Main Event. Management felt that the move would encourage fans to tune into the WWE Network to see him. They were also hoping that some fans would be enticed into signing up for the online subscription due to the move.
May 8, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that there is a standing offer on the table for Ric Flair to make a permanent return to Monday Night Raw and be an on screen character. However, WWE officials need him to make sure that everything in his personal life is put in order before he starts going back on the road with the company. Flair is said to be interested in signing the contract.
May 4, 2014
"I actually got to meet him at a signing probably about 15 years ago. It was a really pleasant experience. He was really polite. It really demonstrated to me that you can spend 20 or 30 seconds with a fan and you can leave a lasting impression." - Big E Langston reveals that he met Goldberg years ago
May 4, 2014
As of right now, Ric Flair is not scheduled to make an appearance at Extreme Rules 2014, despite being brought to Monday Night Raw for a big segment. He is flying to California on Saturday to do an autograph signing, and he has a flight from there directly to Atlanta afterwards. Extreme Rules is being held in New Jersey on Sunday, so barring a last minute change, Flair will not be involved.
May 2, 2014
While a lot of fans in the United States are hoping that he ends up joining WWE, there are rumors floating around that Kenta Kobayashi could be signing with New Japan instead. A lot of speculation has arisen since his contract with Pro Wrestling NOAH expired earlier this week. Kobayashi did do a tryout for WWE earlier in the year.
May 1, 2014
Back in January, a buzz was created when it appears that Kenta Kobayashi was going to be signing with WWE since he worked a tryout for the company. However, the company never gave him a contract, and he Kobayashi returned to Japan. Pro Wrestling NOAH has just announced, however, that their longtime star is leaving the promotion, which has started rumors about Kobayashi finally joining WWE.
April 30, 2014
Considering the amount of pain that he withstood for the sake of entertaining fans over the years, it is a bit surprising that Mick Foley did not spend more time on the sidelines. He has retired from WWE now, but an injury is preventing him from working. Back issues have prompted the former world heavyweight champion to cancel an upcoming appearance in Denver. No word yet on whether or not it will be rescheduled.
August 27, 2014
The value of the WWE audience has taken yet another hit. There is already a good amount of advertisers who are avoiding the company because they do not feel that the demographics is desirable. Reports are now surfacing that Marvel purposely declined to advertise their Guardians of the Galaxy movie to the WWE audience, even though Batista could have drawn in some of the fans to the film. Since the studio was not interested, WWE opted to avoid promoting the movie, even though it could have benefited them internally.
August 27, 2014
There was a little bit of a buzz earlier in the week when Ryback posted a message about taking time off from WWE. It escalated a bit further when he deleted the comment from Twitter, which is something that he has done several times in the past. It has now been confirmed that he suffered some sort of injury and will be needing a few weeks off of the road to recover.
August 27, 2014
With so much speculation in the air on his condition, it looks like Daniel Bryan will be making a return to WWE in November. Unfortunately, though, he will not be wrestling when he does come back. Management has advertised Bryan to be at the live events that the company is hosting in Europe later on this year. The feeling is that WWE needs all the star power that they can get to draw in the audience.
August 26, 2014
Life after professional wrestling continues to be great for Steve Austin. He recently revealed that the studios have renewed Redneck Island for a fourth season and have decided to give the Broken Skull Challenge a second one. These deals give him a bit of leverage in negotiations with WWE, who still want him to return for another season of Tough Enough.
August 26, 2014
For those that do not keep up with him outside of WWE, Paul Heyman actually has a ton of things going on in his professional life. In fact, things have picked up so much that he has now moved to Los Angeles to be closer to his business ventures. It has now been revealed that he is renting a house out there. Heyman should still be able to continue working with WWE.
August 26, 2014
Pretty soon, Antarctica might become the only continent where Jeff Jarrett does not have a business deal for Global Force Wrestling. It has now been revealed that he has secured deals in Australia and New Zealand. Jarrett has signed contracts with promotions in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Auckland. The belief is that the former world heavyweight champion is not done securing deals yet.
August 26, 2014
In the upcoming weeks, Jeff Jarrett will be adding a lot of miles to his frequent flyer card. He will embark on various trips to Los Angeles, New York City and Dallas, in an attempt to find a filming location for Global Force Wrestling. There is also a chance that he may look in other cities if he is unable to find a suitable spot in the three big cities, but the belief is that he is leaning towards those markets because it will be a bit easier to fill the arenas.
August 26, 2014
After finishing off his commitments, Kevin Steen has now officially reported for duty with WWE. The former ROH champion posted on Twitter that it was his first day at the WWE Performance Center. While he is viewed as one of the best performers on the independent wrestling circuit, the belief is that management will keep him in developmental, so he can simplify his in ring style to suit the audience.
August 25, 2014
Roddy Piper recently did a one man show, and he took that opportunity to bash Vince McMahon. The WWE legend pointed out that his longtime employer has failed miserably as a concert promoter, bodybuilding promoter and football promoter. Piper went on to say that McMahon has only succeeded as a promoter in the business that his father handed to him.
August 25, 2014
WWE has announced a big rematch between John Cena and Bray Wyatt for Monday Night Raw tonight. No word yet on why the match is taking place, as the two of them are not currently feuding with one another. Wyatt is still feuding with Chris Jericho, while Cena is in a program with Brock Lesnar, who once again will not be making a television appearance this week despite being the WWE champion.
August 25, 2014
During a recent interview, Petey Williams provided some answers for his fans who are wondering why he opted for retirement at such a young age. The former TNA star revealed that he opted to walk away because he saw a lot of his peers being injured, and he did not want to be in a wheelchair. Williams also mentioned that he was going to work in law enforcement, joining his wife, who happens to be a police officer.
August 24, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
There's been rumors floating around for quite some time now that WWE has lost interest in pushing Adam Rose because several key members of management, including Vince McMahon himself, are reportedly not fans of the character. It has now been noted that Rose has not had a match on Monday Night Raw in about a month, which leads many to believe that the rumors are indeed true.
August 24, 2014
After weeks of speculation, it has now been confirmed that WWE will indeed be moving Smackdown from Friday to Thursday. Rumors popped up a couple of weeks ago because a picture of a production truck showed the new day. SyFy has now confirmed the switch. The move puts WWE head to head with the NFL, which is a move that Vince McMahon will be heavily scrutinized for.
August 24, 2014
During a recent video interview with Supertraining Gym in Sacramento, John Cena was asked about a potential heel turn, something that fans have been speculating about for years online. The former WWE champion flat out stated that it will never happen. Cena said that he had it in him to make it work, but management will never pull the trigger on such a move because it does not make sense for business.
August 24, 2014
WWE is bringing in the big names to help open up Monday Night Raw this week. Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair have been confirmed to make an appearance. The trio of former world heavyweight champions will be in the opening segment. Reports are surfacing that Flair, Hogan and Michaels will be promoting the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, who is not scheduled to be there.
August 23, 2014
During a recent interview, Sting was asked who he would like to work a match with if the Undertaker is unable to wrestle again. The former world heavyweight champion, who is not under contract to WWE as an in ring performer at the moment, stated that he would love to work with Triple H. A match between the two is possible at Wrestlemania 31.
August 23, 2014
The music world has not seen the last of Brooke Hogan. She has been spending a lot of time in Nashville lately to prepare for the next stage of her career. Right now, she is putting together an audition to create a country band. Her manager Drew Davis is the one that is checking out the performers. Not a lot of other details have been made available.
August 23, 2014
Through Instagram, Justin Gabriel stated that is not going to be doing the ice bucket challenge. The WWE star revealed that he takes cold showers every day. He also stated that he would much rather see people donating the full amount instead of doing the challenge in order to donate a smaller amount. To his credit, Gabriel has already donated to the cause.

More about : cdrwin aspi manager Anonymous a b G Storage July 30, 2001 1:04:35 AM >>ASPI drivers CDRWIN requires - like many other recording programs - ASPI drivers in order to control both SCSI and ATAPI devices. Unfortunately this may cause problems with the operation of the software. After installing CDRWIN you may receive error messages such as "Unexpected ASPI error". This often means that the installed ASPI drivers are incompatible or obsolete and that CDRWIN is not able to work with them. To avoid these problems please install the current ASPI drivers for your SCSI controller or your IDE system. CDRWIN should then perform as intended. You can find more information about ASPI drivers here...<< This was taken from the faq of the manufacturer's website. Visiting manufacturer's websites can sometimes answer questions. ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) are drivers used to communicate with SCSI controllers and are generally not required for Windows environment and are only used in DOS. "CDRWIN requires - like many other recording programs - ASPI drivers in order to control both SCSI and ATAPI devices. " I don't know what they are trying to say by that. I wasn't aware that CD Creator .. DCD or Nero used ASPI drivers to communicate with SCSI CD-RWs. But I could certainly be wrong. Or they could simply be trying to polish over the fact that their software does require it. Try installing the latest ASPI drivers for your controller. It will stick them in the autoexec.bat and load them at start up. ***check the jumpers 1st then check em again*** Can't find your answer ? Ask !

Lancashire turn a £3.5m profit

LANCASHIRE COUNTY Cricket Club has marked a return to profitability after four successive years of losses by announcing a record operating profit of more than £3.5 million for the year ending December 31, 2013.
The club also more than doubled its revenue to just over £19 million thanks largely to six successful days of international cricket which saw approaching 150,000 spectators - a record number for the ground - attend the redeveloped Emirates Old Trafford for the Investec Ashes Test and a NatWest Series ODI against Australia.
Following the completion of the stadium redevelopment, the club was successful in establishing new partnerships with major corporate brands, including a 10-year naming rights deal with Emirates and the sponsorship of the new Players and Media Centre by AJ Bell.
These were supplemented by the club's existing long-term relationships with Thwaites and Hill Dickinson which helped to deliver growth in annual sponsorship to a value in excess of £1 million.
The Ashes Test at Emirates Old Trafford also boosted the local economy by an estimated £20 million, and therefore it is vitally important that Lancashire County Cricket Club continues to host major matches in the future for the benefit of the North West region.
In 2014, the club has a number of opportunities to build on this success with Sri Lanka and India providing the opposition at Emirates Old Trafford.
Hosting India for a Test Match for the first time since Sachin Tendulkar's maiden Test hundred in 1990 provides a mouth-watering prospect which will again help the Club towards achieving a strong financial performance.
Last year the Club achieved an encouraging 36 per cent increase in domestic cricket revenue and believes that this figure will increase significantly in 2014 with the promotion back to Division One of the LV= County Championship and the introduction of the new NatWest T20 Blast competition supported by a guaranteed five Friday evening matches.

SB 282 (Wright) - Gang injunctions: 5 year limit
This bill would provide that an injunction issued against an individual who is a criminal street gang member shall have a duration of not more than 5 years, and that at any time within 3 months before the expiration of the injunction, Attorney General or any district attorney or prosecuting city attorney may apply for a renewal of the injunction by filing a certification that a court has determined that an individual subject to the injunction has violated the injunction or committed a new crime. This bill would authorize the court, after a noticed hearing, to issue an order for an extension of the injunction against that individual for an additional 5 years. The bill would express legislative findings, declarations, and intent regarding the enactment of its provisions.
Recommended action: Oppose
Action taken: Oppose
Department of the Environment
Mark Westlund
SB 346 (Kehoe)
The bill, commencing on January 1, 2014, would prohibit the sale of any motor vehicle brakes containing specified constituents, including, but not limited to, copper, cadmium, lead, and mercury, in amounts that exceed certain concentrations.
Recommended action: Support
Action taken: Support
Department of Public Health
Jim Soos
SB 733 (Leno)
The California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board administers a program to assist state residents to obtain compensation for their monetary losses suffered as a direct result of criminal acts. Payment is made under these provisions from the Restitution Fund, which is continuously appropriated to the Board for these purposes. This bill would authorize the Board to administer a program to award up to $5.1 million in grants, annually, to trauma centers, including the Trauma Recovery Center at San Francisco General Hospital, with the amount of each grant being no more than $1.7 million.
SB 744 (Strickland)
This is an urgency measure that modifies the clinical laboratory licensing fee structure, facilitates the use of private accrediting organizations to inspect clinical laboratories, and requires public health laboratories to pay laboratory and personnel licensing fees.
Recommended action: Oppose unless amended
Action taken: Oppose unless amended
Mayor's Office of Housing
Doug Shoemaker
AB 767 (Ammiano and Bass)
This bill would extend the date of encumbrance for homeless youth housing funds available under Proposition 1-C for an additional two years. Approximately $24 million is still unencumbered.
AB 1084 (Adams)
This bill would resolve longstanding legal debate about Inclusionary Housing by expanding the definition of Mitigation Fee. It would also add a host of new requirements and restrictions, substantially increasing the administrative burden associated with levying any development-related fee or set-aside.
Action taken: None taken, watch
ACA 9 (Huffman)
This bill would ease Prop 13's voter thresholds for local taxes three different ways: 1) Add an exception to the 1% cap on real-estate taxes to allow for taxes to pay interest on voter-approved bonded indebtedness accrued to fund facility-related construction work.; 2) Lower the voter-approval threshold for accruing debt to 55% from two-thirds when the debt's proceeds will fund "construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement" of public improvements, public safety agency facilities, affordable housing, the purchase or lease of real property for any of those, or any combination of the above 3) Lower the voter-approval threshold for imposing, extending, or increasing local special taxes from two-thirds to 55%.
Action taken: None taken, table
SB 16 (Lowenthal) - Low-income housing tax credits.
This bill allows sponsors who received a tax credit allocation between July, 2008 and January, 2010 to receive refund if they have credit left over after offsetting existing tax liability. SB 16 will invigorate LIHTC investment in three ways: 1) Disconnecting federal partnership rules from state allocated tax credits and allowing refundable LIHTCs will increase the pool of investors that can provide project capital. 2) Non-profit developers may take the refundable state credit themselves and receive direct funds. 3) If the non-profit takes the state credit themself, then federal tax credits may be marketed to investors at increased value (the interaction between state and federal tax credits can diminish the value of state LIHTCs to approximately $.65 for each $1 of credit).
Action taken: Support
Planning Department
AnMarie Rodgers
SB 690 (Leno)
This bill would remove the so-called "rebuttable presumption" provision, so that illegal billboards would no longer be afforded special consideration simply because they managed to avoid enforcement actions. The Business and Professions Code currently allows illegal billboards located along highways to be presumed legal if no enforcement action is taken within 5 years of the creation of the billboard.
Public Utilities Commission
Nathan Purkiss
AB 444 (Caballero) - Non Profit land stewardship management funds.
Existing law authorizes an agency that, in the development of its own project, is required to transfer an interest in real property to mitigate an adverse impact upon natural resources, to transfer the interest to a nonprofit organization that meets the specified requirements. This bill would authorize funds set aside for the long-term management of any lands or easements conveyed to a nonprofit organization. The bill would also require the nonprofit organization to hold, manage, invest, and disburse the funds in furtherance of managing and stewarding the land or easement for which the funds were set aside. The bill would authorize the state or local agency to impose certain requirements on the nonprofit organization and impose on the state or local agency specified due diligence requirements.
AB 804 (Hall) - Water facilities control of mussels.
Existing law prohibits generally a person from possessing, importing, shipping, or transporting in the state, or from placing, planting, or causing to be placed or planted in any water within the state, dreissenid mussels. This bill would provide that an operator of water delivery and storage facilities, who has prepared and implemented a plan to control and eradicate dreissenid mussels would not be subject to any civil or criminal liability for the introduction of dreissenid mussel species as a result of operations of those facilities. This bill is a result of good faith negotiations between the sponsor, Sierra Club, and the Consumer Attorneys of California as proposed to be amended. There is no known opposition.
AB 1061 (Liu) - Water-Efficient Landscapes at Common Interest Developments.
This non-controversial legislation tightens up requirements that Common Interest Developments must allow water efficient landscaping options within the developments. Existing law requires a local agency to adopt a specified updated model ordinance regarding water-efficient landscapes or a water-efficient landscape ordinance that is at least as effective in conserving water as the updated model ordinance. Existing law allows certain water providers to take specified actions regarding water conservation. The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act provides for the creation and regulation of common interest developments. The act provides that the architectural guidelines of a common interest development shall not prohibit or include conditions that have the effect of prohibiting the use of low water-using plants as a group. This bill would, instead, provide that a provision of any of the governing documents of a common interest development shall be void and unenforceable if it prohibits, or includes conditions that have the effect of prohibiting, the use of low water-using plants as a group, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting compliance with a local water-efficient landscape ordinance or water conservation measure described above. Passed unanimously by the Assembly.
AB 1408 (Krekorian) - Subdivisions: Water Conservation Mitigation Fund.
Background on Subdivisions and Water Conservation: The Subdivision Map Act prohibits approval of a tentative map for a subdivision of property of more than 500 dwelling units, unless the legislative body of a city or county provides written verification from the applicable public water system that a sufficient water supply is available or, in addition, a specified finding is made by the local agency that sufficient water supplies are, or will be, available prior to completion of the project. This bill establishes a Water Conservation Mitigation Fund (Fund) that a public water system may authorize a subdivision project applicant to voluntarily contribute to in order to offset at least 100% of the projected water demand associated with the subdivision, and requires all monies in the Fund to be expended on water conservation measures that will offset at least 100% of the subdivision's projected water demand. AB 1408 would also provide the framework for an optional program that would allow developers to get credit in the water supply assessment for implementing conservation measures at the development that go beyond what is required. This includes the use of a legally enforceable mechanism, such as the CC&Rs, to notify the purchasers of the homes that they are buying a special home with unique requirements to conserve water. These legally enforceable mechanisms will help ensure that the anticipated level of conservation is achieved and remains durable over time. The author states that AB 1408 also provides the framework for an optional arrangement between developers and water suppliers where developers can offset 100% or more of the projected water demand of the development by paying into a water conservation mitigation fund that is managed by the water supplier. The author believes that for highly water constrained areas, this optional program can provide water suppliers with a way to provide a water supply assessment so that developers can proceed with a development that might otherwise be uncertain.
SB 102 (Committee on Local Government) Validations.
This non-controversial bill would enact the Second Validating Act of 2009, which would validate the organization, boundaries, acts, proceedings, and bonds of the state and counties, cities, and specified districts, agencies, and entities. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Background: For nearly 70 years, the Legislature has adopted annual Validating Acts that retroactively fix public officials' inadvertent procedural errors or omissions. Starting in the mid-1920s, the Legislature passed separate validating acts for different types of bonds, several classes of special districts, and various local boundary changes. By the late 1930s, the practice had been streamlined into annual, comprehensive validating acts. The Acts protect investors from the chance that a minor error might undermine the legal integrity of a public agency's bond. The annual bills affect the state government, as well as counties, cities, special districts, school districts, and redevelopment agencies.
