There has been a great deal of speculation at to the origins of George Adams of Watertown but nothing concrete has been proven. The earliest record of George Adams is in 1645 when he married Frances Taylor the daughter of Richard and Ann Taylor of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Whether this is the actual year of their marriage or the date it was recorded in the records is uncertain. However, the birth of their first child John on October 16, 1645 is recorded in Watertown where George was known as a glover and a trader. That same year he received 20 acres for his home lot, known as "George Hill" supposedly named for him.
In May, 1653 he was found guilty of selling firearms and "strong waters" to the Indians and was consequently "severley whipt" in Boston and discharged to the prison. In January of the following year, he was granted 4 acres in Watertown where he resided until November 1664 when he sold his house and moved back to Lancaster. The Early Town Records of Watertown show George Adams living "in need" with five children.
In 1670, George laid claim to his property in Lancaster that was forfeited due to his absence and inaction and in January of 1671 he was granted 60 acres by the General Court. During this same time, he petitioned the General Court for confirmation of his claim to 200 acres of land that he had received from the Sachem Shoniow several years earlier. It was not until May of 1675, however, that his request was granted.
During King Philip's War, 1675-76, Lancaster was ravaged by the Indians and after the second attack in February of 1676 the town was abandoned. At that time, George is shown as serving in Captain Joseph Sill's Company. He apparently did not return to Lancaster but instead settled again in Watertown. He appears on the 1684 list of property owners of Lancaster as living out of town. In 1692, he is shown living in Cambridge Farms, which is now Lexington, where he was taxed for the ministry.
On October 16, 1696, George accidentally met his death "by a fall of a rock" in Watertown and on the 28th his widow, Frances Adams, was appointed administratrix of his estate. According to the Probate Records, his estate was valued 60 pounds, 13s. 8d. including 260 acres of land in Lancaster valued at 50 pounds.
The 200 acre tract of land given to George by the Shoinow Sachem remained in the family until 1715. The deeds recorded at that time and subsequently later reflect a good deal of information regarding the children of George and Frances Adams. On May 24, 1715, George Adams and Mary Adams, spinster, of Lexington "son and daughter of George Adams formerly of Lancaster glover dec.d" sold their rights to their older brother John of Colchester, Connecticut who in turn deeded this and his share of the land to Francis Fullam. Eight years later on November 7, 1723, George's son Samuel of Windsor, Connecticut and his grandson Joseph of Simsbury, the eldest surviving son of Daniel, deeded their remaining two shares to Mr. Fullam.

George Adams (Jr.) is known to have come to America before 1645 and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts (Henry Adams). The place and date of George's birth is unknown but it was likely in Somersetshire, England in the early 1620s. In addition to the genealogy mentioned above, several pieces of information suggest he migrated to New England through Barbados. Endnote
Located about seven miles up the Charles River from Boston, Watertown was the first inland settlement in Massachusetts. Small ships could use the river as far as Watertown. The town was colonized in 1630 by Puritan nonconformists who were attracted by abundant fresh water, ample tillable land, water falls that provided power for mills, and excellent fishing (Drake). In the 1630s a gristmill was constructed, a school was opened in the early 1650s, and in the 1660s a cloth-fulling mill was built in the town. From 1636 to 1653 the community grew slowly from 120 to 160 families, one of the additions being George Adams who recorded his occupation as glover, a trade he probably learned as an apprentice in England (Drake, p. 436 and p. 440). Endnote
Many settlers of Watertown fled the religious strife in England that later culminated in a bloody civil war during the 1640s. Between 1628 and 1640 some 21,000 people immigrated to New England in nearly 300 voyages. George may have left England to escape turmoil, or he may have been lured to America by adventure and opportunity. His name is not listed on any of the ship manifests that are available so his date of arrival cannot be fixed with certainty (Boyer; Comanifest was lost, his name may have been left off a manifest, or he may have signed on as a sailor and then jumped ship after arriving in Boston.
As was the case in most Puritan communities, religion played a prominent role in Watertown but there is no record that George was a fervent believer or that he became a baptized member. Without being baptized, he could not become a freeman and vote. Religion provided the glue that bound the community; it supplied spiritual nutrients, recreation, and intellectual stimulation. Residents were required to attend church and were fined for not doing so; all residents were taxed to erect church buildings and to pay ministers. Society was judgmental, and diversity of thought was discouraged. Although the Puritan ethic gave settlers the starch to survive harsh conditions, it also led to excesses such as executions for witchcraft, one of the first being that of a Mrs. Kendall in nearby Cambridge for supposedly bewitching to death a child in Watertown about 1650 (Drake, p. 441). The Puritans were as intolerant of others as others had earlier been of them, with Quakers and Anabaptists attracting the wrath of the Puritans about the time George settled in Watertown.
After arriving in Watertown George married Frances Taylor and later had seven children: John (1645), George Jr. (1647), Benjamin (about 1650) who died in 1672 in Lancaster, Daniel (1652), Joseph (1657) who died young, Samuel (about 1659), and Mary (1664). Endnote George made part of his living by trading with Indians, especially in the area of Lancaster, Massachusetts that was then the site of a fledgling trading post. He is listed as one of the co-partners in the Nashaway Company that established this post (Hurd, p.3). George was given rights to one of the plots allotted to early settlers, although it is unlikely he lived in Lancaster until several decades later. The town leaders in Watertown gave him 4 acres of land in 1654/55 on King's Commons for a home site where he and his family lived for about 10 years (Historical Society, p. 40).
George's trading activities with the Indians brought him grief in 1653 when the General Court in Boston censured him for selling two guns and liquor to Indians. For this offense George was jailed for a time and then publicly flogged when he was unable to pay his fine (Hurd, p. 12; Parsons, p. 208). Other unlucky Indian traders suffered a similar fate in Massachusetts (Stratton, p. 108). George's misfortunes continued in 1656/57 when he and a number of other Watertown residents were fined for not properly controlling their swine (Historical Society, p. 53). His misfortunes culminated in the Adams family, including five children, being declared indigent by town leaders in 1660/61, along with three other families (Historical Society, p. 71).
On November 4, 1664 George sold his house and lot in Watertown to John Chinery. He then moved his family to nearby Lexington. Endnote He may have divided his time between Lexington and Lancaster and not moved at least part of his family to Lancaster until about 1670. A history of Lexington lists George Adams as one of the early settlers in the southwest part of the township. It is not clear, however, if this was George Sr. or his second son George Jr. who lived in Lexington most of his adult life ((Hudson, Vol. II, p. 4 and Vol. I, pp. 26 and 33). George Sr. eventually moved at least part of his family to Lancaster to ease their poverty through exercising rights to two parcels of land he had acquired there (Parsons, 208). He may have seen the move as an opportunity to provide better opportunities for four of his sons. Land records show George Sr. and his oldest son John both signed documents in Lancaster with Xes (Parsons, p. 208).
When first settled by white persons, Lancaster was a remote trading post located a long days ride from Watertown in the vicinity of several Indian villages. The area included a few lakes, lots of trees, two streams that came together to form the Nashaway River, and hills that have been leveled and rounded by the passing of glaciers.
George likey used some of the hides and pelts obtained through his early trading in Lancaster in his glover activities in Watertown. To stimulate the whites to build a trading post, Indians gave land grants to the co-partners as inducements. George was assigned a 20 acre homestead in 1647 on the east slope of George Hill in Lancaster, immediately south of a parcel of land owned by John Prescott on which the original trading post was built. Endnote The hill may have been named for George Adams, since he was the only early settler with that given name. Endnote George later lost the rights to this parcel of land because he did not fully occupy it prior to 1654 (Hurd, p. 3; Henry Adams, p. 99). Endnote George's parcel of land was later given to Jonas Fairbank who moved to Lancaster in 1659 (Weis; Parsons). The poverty of the Adams family and legal problems during 1653 may have made it impossible for George to prove his claim before the deadline. He later appealed the case, possibly with the intercession of John Prescott, and received rights to another 60 acres of land in 1670 near the Washacombe Great Field several miles south and west of Lancaster where he built a log cabin (Weis, p. 13). In 1669 his oldest son John bought an additional 100 acres on the south side of Weshecum Pond that he sold a year later to John Buttolph. George was also given 200 acres around Washaame Hill (or Washcomhill) by a Nashaway Indian chief by the name of Shoniow.
George and some of his family may have lived in Lancaster, at least part time, for about 5 years, likely scratching out a living by farming and trading with the Indians. His son Benjamin died in Lancaster at the age of about 22 in 1672. Difficulties with Indians that culminated in King Philip's War and two massacres of Lancaster residents in August 1675 and in February 1675/1676 drove George's family and others from the community. During the war George was a member of Captain Joseph Sill's Company (Mackenzie, p. 3).
Lancaster was one of the 12 communities that was burned and abandoned during the three-year war with approximately 600 settlers and soldiers in various communities being killed. Fierce counterattacks by the colonists killed many Indians and also destroyed numerous villages. The Indian leader Metacom was killed in August 1676 and his head stuck on a post on the outskirts of Plymouth. During the war numerous Indians surrendered and many of them were shipped to the Caribbean as slaves. The King Philip's War, although not prominent in United States history, set the inhumane standards for the whites' treatment of native Americans for the next two centuries.
The most serious massacre in Lancaster was on February 10, 1675/1676 when 50 to 55 people were killed and a number were captured and later ransomed (Nourse 1890, Vol. 1; Rowlandson). It appears that the Adams family was not living in Lancaster at the time, however. Thereafter, the town was abandoned for about four years. The Adams cabin was likely burned in this second Indian attack (Henry Adams, p. 101). George and his family returned to Lexington, Massachusetts where he and his wife may have lived with their son George Jr. No record exists of George Sr. owning property in Lexington. About this time, or possibly earlier, his sons John, Daniel, and Samuel moved south to the community of Windsor on the Connecticut River in central Connecticut.
Misfortune dogged George Sr.'s life. Poverty nagged him in Watertown; he ran afoul of the law several times; he was involved in various legal battles to establish and maintain his property rights in Lancaster; his cabin was destroyed by Indians; and his family was divided after three sons moved south to greener pastures. Although still in good health, his misfortune continued when he was accidentally killed near Watertown by a falling rock on October 10, 1696 (Henry Adams, p. 8). Endnote The primary inheritances he left his family were lessons in how to deal with adversity and 260 acres of abandoned land in a frontier community. Although no physical description of George exists, he likely passed a tall gene to his sons since they were known in Connecticut as being the "three tall Englishmen" (Henry Adams, p. 24).

(02/21/14) - Congressman Dan Kildee says progress has been made in his Mid-Michigan district - but there's still a lot of work to be done.
That's the message he delivered, Friday, during his first State of the District address.
Kildee highlighted some of the accomplishments that have been made in his district over the past year that he has been in Congress.
He says he's pleased with FBI statistics that were released Wednesday stating that crime is down in Flint. It reveals an overall drop of 26 percent for the first six months of 2013.
He also talked about the bills he plans to introduce next week that are aimed at reducing violence, and other victories that have helped with future growth in the area.
"We were able to get, for example, $23 million into Flint to help deal with blight and abandonment. There's some new developments taking place in downtown. That's a sign, companies that are investing like Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy. There are some positive things to build upon but we need to continue to reinvest," he said.
Kildee told ABC12 that although a lot of good things are happening, public safety, job creation, manufacturing and education must be a priority in the future.

PHOENIX (AP) - A Phoenix man arrested after a fatal freeway rollover allegedly had a blood-alcohol level nearly four times the legal limit for Arizona drivers.
Court documents released Friday show 34-year-old Edwin Hurt's level was .317 percent when he rolled a luxury car Sunday night on Interstate 10 in Tolleson. Arizona's legal limit for operating a vehicle is .08 percent.
The crash killed one passenger and seriously injured another who had an arm amputated.
Authorities say they found Xanax pills in the Jaguar's center console although Hunt doesn't have prescription for the drug.
Hunt was arraigned Friday on charges of manslaughter, extreme DUI, endangerment and possession of a dangerous drug.
His bond was set at $150,000.
Records show Hunt doesn't have an attorney yet. His next scheduled court date is Oct. 24.

China's Pollution: Challenges for U.S. Trade and Climate Policy
Posted by scapozzola on 06/18/2009
Today, the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) holds an "Issues Forum" in Washington, DC that features a discussion on "China's Pollution: Challenges for US Trade and Climate Policy." AAM Executive Director Scott Paul will speak, as will Roxanne Brown, Assistant Legislative Director for the United Steelworkers.Scott Paul will presents the results of the Alliance for American Manufacturing's widely publicized study, 'An Assessment of Environmental Regulation of the Steel Industry of China.' The report concludes that: "Less stringent standards, lower industry expenditures on environmental controls, a decentralized regulatory structure, and a less effective enforcement program all result in levels of pollution from the Chinese steel industry that are nearly twenty times higher per ton of steel than in the U.S. in the case of overall emissions of particulate matter, and between two and six times higher in the case of other measures of pollutants levels." Roxanne Brown will discuss the implications of these findings for the on-going debate in the United States regarding the curbing of green house gases. 10:30 am ET, 1776 K Street NW, Wiley Rein LLC.

I have the smartest daughters in the world.
I know this not because Thing 1 and Thing 2 have perfect grades (though they scored very well on last year's standardized tests). I know this not because their teachers send home notes detailing their exploits and benevolence (though Thing 2 did lend a lunchless kid a dollar the other day). I know this not because the Nobel Prize committee announced it (though a source tells me they are short-listed).
And most importantly, lest you accuse me of nepotism, I know this not because I am their father and adore them with the searing intensity of a million suns.
I know this because they told me so.
My daughters, and perhaps your children, know everything. They tell me so a hundred times each day. The subject doesn't matter. They know.
Me: It's time to brush your teeth.
Thing 1: I know.
Me: It's your turn to feed the dogs.
Thing 2: I know.
Me: Please go make your bed.
Them: We know!
If the first response out of their mouths to everything I ask or say is true, apparently there is nothing my 8- and 10-year-old daughters don't already know. I've often wondered if my offspring were somehow gifted not only with unlimited intelligence, but also psychic skills rivaling those of Nostradamus.
Me: Keep your fingers out of the way when closing your pocket knife, and you won't get cut like that.
Thing 1: I know.
Me: It's going to be cold today. You may want to take a sweater to school.
Thing 2: I know.
Me: Eric Stoltz was originally cast to play Marty McFly in "Back to the Future," but was replaced by Michael J. Fox after four weeks of shooting because....
Them: We know, Dad!
Even when I find myself in the position of having to correct them — were it possible to correct the smartest children on the planet — they still know the right answer.
Small Wonders: Are your kids as smart as his?

Press release.
Geophysical Insights, a company that develops and applies advanced analytic technology for seismic interpretation, announced today the launch of their Insight to Foresight clinics. The clinics will be led by Dr. Tom Smith, President and founder of Geophysical Insights, who is also the founder of Seismic Micro Technology (SMT). The one-day engagements will introduce the application of Unsupervised Neural Networks for seismic interpretation to the hosting company's geophysical team using that company's seismic data. Made available to qualifying operating companies without charge, the series of clinics will commence early in 2011. Through the clinic a geophysical team will be able to…
· See the concepts of Unsupervised Neural Networks applied to seismic interpretation
· Identify opportunities where the technology may be used to refine interpretation
· Obtain recommendations from Dr. Smith that address specific exploration problems
"The energy media has recently featured the potential of Unsupervised Neural Networks owing to its potential to dramatically reduce the risk and costs of seismic interpretation and exploration in general," says Dr. Tom Smith, founder and President of Geophysical Insights. "Unsupervised Neural Networks, also known as Self Organizing Maps (SOM's), can be applied to analyze 25+ attributes from a seismic survey, enabling greater accuracy in identifying the presence and location of hydrocarbons. The Insight to Foresight clinics will build awareness and demonstrate the capability of the new technology."
Companies interested in arranging an Insight to Foresight clinic for their geophysical team are invited to visit http://www.geoinsights.com/clinics.aspx to request information.

Norway x Child!Reader Bedtime StoriesNorway x Child!Reader Bedtime Stories You sat at the dinner table, eating your food, lazily. It was about your bed time and you were all ready for bed. Norway thought taking you to the meeting was a good idea, but he forgot about how he got back late sometimes. Usuall you would be in bed by the time he got back and he would pay your babysitter and sometimes stayed in your room for a while because he really missed you after being gone for a few days. This time was different though, he thought it would be a great idea to bring you along and get to spend time with you since work has been keeping him busy lately. He was happy that he got to spend the time with you but the thing that would mess everything up was the idiotic Dane, and because of your shyness of being in front of a lot of people. You stayed with Norway almost all the time, but when he had to do something you couldn't follow along on, you spent that time with Iceland. During the conferences you sat right b
Father!AmericaxLittle!Daughter!Reader Father's DayYou were upstairs in your room, drawing a picture for your father. It was Father's day, and since you were only five, you had to draw him a picture. It was a picture of you and him, and it said 'I love you Daddy!' on it. You really hoped he would like it! You walked out of your room, and looked both ways and when you didn't see your father you walked to his office. You peeked inside of it, and he wasn't in it. You walked in, opening his desk and grabbing an envelope and you stuffed the piece of paper inside of it. You licked it, then closed it. You climbed into his chair and grabbed one of his pens and wrote his name on it, then jumped out of his chair and ran downstairs. He was sitting on the couch watching some movie and you snuck into the kitchen and put it on the table. You went into the living room and climbed up on the couch and into his lap."Hi Daddy!" You smiled."Oh, hey (Name)! I was just about to go looking for you!" He gave you a hug while smiling.You wrapped your little
BigBrother!NorwayxChild!ReaderxNordics Part 4You snuggled closer to Norway while you watched your favorite show. Your big brother had been busy the last few weeks, so usually one of the Nordics would stay home while the rest went to something they called a "World Meeting." From what you heard, they were really fun! Uncle Denmark would always tell you stories about him and his "awesome" friends, which would usually end when Norway started choking Denmark with his own tie and telling him to "stop corrupting your mind." You didn't really get it, but you didn't question your brother's actions, knowing that he only did what was best for you.-_-_-_-_Norway looked down at your serene face. From the looks of things, you'd be taking a nap soon, and he'd most likely be joining you. It had been rough the past few days for the Norwegian, and all he really wanted to do was sit down and relax with his little sister for the rest of the day. Of course, he knew the odds of that were slim, but he could at least enjoy it while it lasts."_

The [h/c] girl turned around and grinned when she saw the slightly dazed Norwegian. Hopping over to the bed she began to sing 'Alt For Norge' by Drillos, a favorite of hers even before she met Norway. The blonde only raised a brow as he waited for her to finish singing. He loved her voice more than anything. She hopped on the bed once she finished singing the song."Happy Birthday, Norway!" She chirped."Thanks, elsker (love)" He said in his usual monotone."Come on!

The Finnish man tried to stay as quite as possible, but years of war had sharpened Berwald's ears, and though Tino whispered, his eyes opened. "M' w'fe?

"big brother! where were you? first you dissappear months ago and know you do it again? nobody has seen you for two days!" he heard, and a crashing impact on his legs "god damn it Arthur! watch were you're going will you!?" he scolded, finding his balance once again and adjusting the nameless baby. The little blonde boy looked up at his older brother, curiousity peeking throw his large forest green eyes, the same eyes that Ian had. "Ian? what are you holding?" he asked as Ian sighed "my baby." he answered, kneeling next to young boy so he could see the infant in his arms. Arthur gasped in shock and covered his mouth "you conceived a child? are you mad?!" he
PapaNorwayxChildReader Missing YouFor years Norway would disappear once a month for about a week and then come back looking something from between dejected and elated. These little mini-vacations always confused the other Nordics and they often asked him about it, but he would never tell them anything. He didn't want them to know his little secret.But then all of a sudden these trips stopped and he looked depressed…really, really depressed. He often sat looking at a photograph, one that he wouldn't show a soul. It was a photograph of him and a little girl who looked so strikingly like him it was scary. This was his daughter (Name) Bondevik, and her maternal grandparents had taken custody of her after her mother passed away…and they denied him all visitation rights. That broke his heart.Little did he know that his little girl felt the same way…But unlike him…she had a plan to do something about it.--------- ---------------- ------------Shivering on the cold street corne

Jack and Jen "Liza" Lindley file into class. Jack is all hectic about getting a good seat, the better to drool on the hot prof, and yanks Jen out of the way so that he can sit on the inside. As they clamber over another student (who, weirdly, looks a lot like Tobey…man, I miss Tobey. Come back, Tobey!), Jen shoots him a "whatever" look. Jack claims he just wants to see the blackboard, but Jen isn't buying that and gives him guff for ogling Professor Freeman. Audrey, suddenly seated on Jack's other side, is there for the same reason, and Jen gives her guff too, pointing out that she must have her own classes to go to. Audrey shrugs that off, and Jen says that maybe Worthington will boot Audrey if she misses enough class, but as they start to do shtick about that, Jack officiously shushes them. Jen leans over him to tell Audrey that "this is studious Jack, not to be confused with fun-time Jack," and he doesn't like to miss a word of Freeman's lectures. Jack ignores them as Audrey asks how Jen manages to nap during class, between Grams and studious Jack and everything. Jen very seriously says that she doesn't, and then Freeman calls the class to order and Jack shushes the girls again. Freeman, who is wearing what looks like a guayabera, announces an extra-credit assignment that involves going to the movies, then poorly delivers a weak joke about it, which Jack laughs too hard at. Audrey and Jen look at him like, "Um, it's not that funny, G," and Jack's all, "…What?" Freeman drones on about the trope of the beautiful girl playing ugly in film while Jen and Audrey whisper about Miss Congeniality and Jack adopts a mien of great concentration; Freeman adds that students can see him after class to find out more. Oh, dear.
Over at Worthington, Joey arrives late to class as Professor Flip-Flops is telling everyone to "knock back [their] Ritalin and settle down," like, ha ha, a Ritalin joke! So current! Not. A pan around the classroom shows the students reading what we know is Joey's email to Dawson, and tittering at her arrival. Yeah, because that would happen. As Joey slinks to her seat, Flip-Flops blithers on pretentiously about Portnoy's Complaint, saying that the class "won't be dabbling in Roth's stream-of-consciousness sexual rivers much longer," like, what does that even mean, Flip-Flops? No, really. What does that mean? Oh, it doesn't really "mean" anything? I see. Then you might want to look into shutting up. Flip-Flops eyes Joey as she passes him, and adds that fate assigned them some additional reading the night before "via email." Joey freezes for a second, then shrugs and continues unpacking her bookbag; Flip-Flops wonders aloud why they shouldn't focus on something the students actually might have read. He begins reading in a stentorian voice: "'Dear Daw-sun. I don't know where to begin.'" Joey, horrified, tries to interrupt him, but he rudely cuts her off by saying that "nobody likes a show-off," then needles her with the observation that she doesn't "reach a point for several paragraphs," so he'll just skip ahead. Heh. I hear that. Flip-Flops continues reading, with a great deal of ironic gesturing and snarky tone: "'In the moment when we touched, maybe we went somewhere else that rose above all this, but then we landed, and I think maybe we crashed.'" Flip-Flops makes a dismissive moue. The class laughs. Joey puts her hand over her mouth as Flip-Flops muses on the difficulty of writing about sex, despite the universality of the experience, and the difference between Roth's writing and Joey's, in which she "distances herself from the act with vague metaphors." Joey purses her lips, determined not to break down. Flip-Flops walks towards her seat and tells her, in a tone that's almost angry, that she "can't be stream-of-consciousness if [she's] observing from the shores. Right?" Joey doesn't meet his eyes or respond. "Right," Flip-Flops perks, and strides away. Shots of Joey's classmates laughing smugly at her as she makes melted-wax face.

The digital picture is worsening, however, as executives see softer demand for display ads.
News Corp.'s digital properties were a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy fiscal Q1. During the most recent quarter, the company's net income fell 30 percent while Fox Interactive Media turned in revenue of $220 million, a 17 percent increase.
But the digital horizon is now clouding up too, as executives admit weak demand for display ads has begun to take a toll on MySpace and other sites.
"It's clear from everybody else that there is a lot of softening in the display advertising marketplace and we are beginning to feel some of that," said President and COO Peter Chernin, according to a transcript on SeekingAlpha.
FIM's results last quarter were helped by a 16 percent lift in display ad sales and a 10 percent increase in search revenue, according to CFO Dave DeVoe. During the quarter MySpace rolled out two important initiatives, MySpace Music and MyAds. The latter is a self-serve ad buying system geared toward bands and small businesses.
Meanwhile, Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said WSJ.com brought in more than $100 million in advertising, compared with $100 million in subscriptions. He hailed the site's subscription model, which he at one time considered scrapping: "The one Web site that people charge for, people are very happy to pay for."
Following the earnings release, News Corp. lowered its overall guidance. Whereas in August it said fiscal 2009 profits would increase 4 to 6 percent, it now believes they will decline by a percentage in the "low-to-mid teens" from the $5.13 billion in net income the firm reported in fiscal 2008.

Update 11:26 p.m.: A long time ago, all the way back in August of 2005, the MTA unveiled plans to install security cameras in subway stations as part of its counterterrorism efforts. The cameras were supposed to be installed and fully operation within three years which would put this project's completion date in, oh, about six weeks.
Well, as astute riders may have noticed by now, the vast majority of subway stations do not have cameras and those that do had them long before 2005. While the MTA promised a pilot program for cameras in subway cars a few months ago, New York City is a long way away from seeing and being seen by surveillance cameras in the subway stations.
Today, the news got a little worse — or better, if you feel these cameras are an intrusion of privacy — when the MTA conceded that the project still has a steep mountain to climb. And according to a few anonymous agency officials, the original timeline for this project was overly ambitions. Who woulda guessed?
William Neuman has the story:
Aging fiber-optic cable in Brooklyn and Queens has become the latest obstacle to a planned high-tech system of surveillance cameras meant to safeguard the subway and commuter railroads, according to Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials…
On Wednesday, the authority's board authorized the replacement of 84,000 feet of old fiber-optic cable, which was installed in the late 1980s. The replacement will cost $5 million and is being done as part of a separate project to build out the subway's data network.
According to a board document, tests on the cable showed that it had "many broken fibers unsuitable to carry the high bandwidth required" to transmit large amounts of data, which hindered the surveillance camera project. The document did not say how long it would take to replace the cable.
The anonymous officials conceded that the MTA's ambitious plans may not even be realized for another two or three years. There is no longer an internal timetable however, and the MTA must first replace a fiber optics cable outside that, according to Neuman, runs along the J/Z line from Broadway Junction to Sutphin Boulevard and along the E to Union Turnpike.
So as we sit here in 2008, and it looks like our subway stations won't have security cameras until nearly a full decade after the Sept. 11 terrorist and attacks, around six or seven years after the Madrid Metro bombing in 2004 and five or six years after the London Undergound attacks. Point fingers anyway or bemoan the presence of cameras in the stations, but no matter how you slice or dice it, that's quite the response time.

Steven Soderbergh has never been one to resist a challenge (ie. a 12-hour adaptation of John Barth's "The Sot-Weed Factor"), and certainly, his long-developing biopic of Liberace, "Behind the Candelabra," faced its fair share of resistance. The director has been up front about major studios turning down the movie for being "too gay," but it seems it's going to be their loss. HBO has dropped a brand new trailer for the movie and it looks nothing short of great.
Michael Douglas and Matt Damon lead the picture as Liberace and his young gay lover/friend/confidante Scott Thorson, respectively, and while you'll come for the costumes and sequins, you'll stay for the drama. Douglas slinks and purrs his way through the lead in a performance that seems simply transformative, while Damon is just as game as the young man thrust into this gaudy, glitzy world. This new trailer offers up the best look at the movie yet, with more of the supporting cast on display, including Dan Aykroyd (as Liberace's long-term manager Seymour Heller), Rob Lowe (as a plastic surgeon) and Debbie Reynolds (as Frances Liberace). We've also got some new pics of all three as well.
"Behind the Candelabra" is expected to hit Cannes and will air on HBO on Sunday, May 26th at 9 p.m.

Kudos to the makeup team that could ugly up Debbie Reynolds.
Hopwell | April 8, 2013 2:09 PM
I don't think Douglas has quite got the purring quality of Lee's voice, but otherwise it looks great.
Amanda | April 8, 2013 1:03 PM
You had me at Matt Damon in a speedo <3
maxwell | April 8, 2013 12:02 PM
So Hollywood is going to mark Liberace's life as a cartoon-like perversion so that people can peek in and point at. It appears they are completely disregarding the one thing that he was known for, his genius piano abilities.
This is ridiculous. Expected from Hollywood scum, but still ridiculous.

Glitz, pathos, great actors, great director, terrific sets, fantastic seventies hair and threads, and Matt Damon emerging dripping from a pool in a teeeny bathing suit. Ah, sometimes the world just hands me a bouquet of roses.

I guess they didn't have much money but the sets and costumes look wonderfully lush. And the feathered hair! Major seventies flashback.

Looks fantastic, but is Matt Damon supposed to play young? He looks about 40 in every shot.

The work done in Amate Bark Paper is essentially iconic and figurative, on the cultural symbols of my environment.

-- General Motors and SAIC Motors post faster year-on-year sales growth in November than October
-- Ford's sales in November fell 7% on the year, but rose 6% from October
-- Data indicate China auto sales may rebound in November from a 1.1% decline in October
(Combines earlier stories and adds background on China's October auto sales and 2011 sales target.)
BEIJING (Dow Jones)--Three of the biggest auto makers in China had relatively strong sales last month, indicating a rebound in the world's largest auto market after overall sales declined in October.
General Motors Co. (GM) led the way with year-on-year growth of 20.4%, up from 10.4% in October, while China's largest car maker by sales volume, SAIC Motor Corp. (600104.SH), increased its sales by 13.3%, up from 11% the previous month.
However, Ford Motor Co.'s (F) sales were down 7%, dragged by a 24.6% decline in its commercial vehicle sales. Its sales were flat in October. On a month-on month basis, Ford's sales were up 6% from October, GM's were up 7.6%, and SAIC's rose 4.6%.
For the January-November period, the three auto makers posted sales growth faster than the up to 3% forecast for overall sales in China this year made by the semi-official China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. The association cut its 2011 forecast to 3% from 5% in October, its second revision this year because of the effects of the government's removal of incentives to purchase energy-efficient cars. Earlier this year, it forecast sales growth of 10%-15%.
China's overall auto sales, covering both passenger and commercial vehicles, fell 1.1% in October from a year earlier to 1.52 million units, according to data from the association, as demand was hit by a week-long national holiday.
GM and its joint ventures in China sold 237,130 vehicles in China in November, while SAIC sold 359,384 units, the companies said in separate statements Tuesday.
Sales of passenger cars by Shanghai GM, the joint venture between GM and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp., rose 7.6% in November to 113,120 units, the U.S. auto maker said.
Sales of mini-commercial vehicles and passenger cars by SAIC-GM-Wuling, GM's venture with SAIC and Wuling Automobile Co., grew 40.4% to 119,133 units, GM said.
Sales by Ford and its joint ventures in China totaled 43,338 units last month, the company said in a statement.
During the January-November period, GM's sales in China rose 8.2% from a year earlier to 2.35 million units, SAIC's sales rose 11.9% to 3.68 million vehicles, and Ford's sales were up 7% at 470,152 units.

Helping Veterans Move From Military to Civilian Life: A Q & A With Leaders of COMMIT
For hundreds of service men and women re-entering civilian life, the transition can be a challenging and unsettling one. They grapple with how their unique skills and training translate to the civilian workforce and question whether they will find a job that fits their individual goals and needs. While assistance programs existed to address these issues, there remained a gap in information, confidence and imagination for these veterans.
In 2012, Anne Meree Craig and Guy Filippelli collaborated to launch a branch of The COMMIT Foundation, an organization formed to mitigate the gaps. Through mentoring workshops, one-on-one transition assistance, and corporate education, the group strives to make the transition back to civilian life an easier one. The Baltimore program is one of eight across the country, in cities in Northern California, Colorado Springs, Dallas, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York. Read More →

When asked about Jeremy Hill at SEC Media Days, LSU head coach Les Miles said the star running back "has a legal entanglement. He remains suspended from the team. Separated from us for the summer."
The coach said there is an ongoing process with Hill and "we're going to sit on the perimeter and watch."
Miles said the coaches have visited with Hill on a routine basis, but he has not been in any team meetings. "It's been hard on him."
Hill ran for 755 yards and 12 touchdowns as a freshman last season.

Britain could have won the war in 1942 if RAF listened to jet pioneer, author claims
The Allies would have crushed Nazi Germany 'within three years' if the RAF had not rejected plans by a British inventor to build the world's first jet-powered fighter planes, according to new research.
Inventor Sir Frank Whittle was told his designs for a 500mph jet were 'totally unrealistic' and RAF chiefs refused to invest a penny in their development.
It meant the RAF engineer was forced to circulate his patent internationally in the hope of finding a private investor.
But the document fell into enemy hands and was used as the blueprint for Germany's own jet development programme....
Until now, it was widely believed that the race to design a jet-powered aircraft was fought independently between Whittle and German engineer Hans von Ohain.
But author John Golley, who researched the topic for more than 20 years, said von Ohain's efforts were made 'significantly easier' thanks to Whittle's patent.
'Whittle was allowed to file his patent without secrecy and within a few months it reached Berlin, where it was distributed to numerous aeronautical establishments,' Golley said....
'But Britain could have won the war by 1942 using the same technology, if the RAF had not rejected Whittle's designs at the outset.'...

Comment: Re:First World Problems (Score 5, Informative) 154
To "First World Problems"
For the original question
* Not a recliner, but for helping your back similar to how an exercise ball does but with more support for long coding, I have used a "SwingSeat" at my desk for a decade or more (http://www.swingseat.com/). This was good enough to get me by until the last round of surgery (which was actually a success) made it too hard to sit upright all day.
* A "Zero G" chair, like the ones by Human Touch (I use a Human Touch Perfect Chair), a bit pricey but not awful. Combined with a laptop table that can raise and angle the laptop you can actually do the vast majority of your work from a completely reclined position.
* For a desk, rather than reclining all the time, I assembled a custom desk from Anthro using their Console line that has a tray that can raise and pivot from sitting to reclining (which actually needs to be raised higher than sitting) to standing (great for those of you who don't have partial leg paralysis, good for me on rare occasions). The desk is HUGE but dang, it does everything. It is the Console with full pole extensions bringing it to almost 6' with monitors on a shelf 8" higher than the shelf that hosts the keyboard tray. Which means the monitors can raise up to standing position as well. I can, if I use a trackpad to avoid mouse problems, use this in combination with the Perfect Chair as a rigged solution similar to the next one.
* I couldn't afford this, or at least I could have before I needed it, but can't now. But if you can, the desks from ErgoQuest are perfect. And some of them are inexpensive enough to be not tooooo awful on the budget (if I had the money I spent on the SwingSeat, Anthro Console and Perfect Chair I could afford an ErgoQuest). You can -sometimes- find these on Ebay but not usually from someone willing to ship and often not for significantly less than having the right one built to your specs.

Kawasaki say they're gunning for the Street Triple R with the new Z750R, but it ultimately lacks excitement and you don't get the kind of performance you want from a 750 or an 'R' tagged bike.

When cooking with dried flowers, especially hibiscus, remember that it will stain. It will stain clothes, countertops, containers, etc. Keep this in mind when you are planning to make the tea.
- 1 cup dried hibiscus flower
- 1 cup sugar (granulated) - add more less for taste
- 8 cups cold water
Add sugar and stir. You can either heat this up on the stovetop or in microwave or serve chilled. Some people like to add lemon wedges or grate orange zest to add to the flavor. You can also store in the refrigerator for about 5 days.

The book that emerged from a bog after 1200 years
This is the remarkable story of a medieval book that spent 1200 years in the mud. Around 800 someone had a Book of Psalms made, a portable copy fitted with a leather satchel. The book consisted of sixty sheets of parchment that were carefully filled with handwritten words. Somehow the book ended up in a remote bog at Faddan More in north Tipperary, close to the town of Birr. Dropped, perhaps, by the owner? Was he walking and reading at the same time? Did he himself also end up in the bog?
Fast-forward to 2006. Eddie Fogarty, the operator of a turf digger, noticed an object with faint lettering in the bucket of his machine (pic 1). There it was again, our Book of Psalms! At this point it resembled something from an Aliens movie (pic 2), but that changed quickly after it went to the restoration lab. Thanks to the conservation properties of turf, many pages were still intact, as was its leather satchel (pic 3), the only surviving specimen from this early period. Remarkably, among the damaged pages were some that had let go of the words: kept together merely by ink, the words were floating around by themselves - like some sort of medieval Scrabble (pic 4). It's the most remarkable bookish survival story I know.
More on this phenomenal find in this news article and this one. Here is the bog and the machine that dug up the book More on the restoration process here. More about the papyrus found in the binding here. This is a nice movie on the book.

"This went perfectly with the invitation card. I was able to personalize it with the tennis theme by adding, "The Ball is in Your Court... Everyone loves. it."
"This card is simple, yet beautiful. The quality of the paper is excellent. The customer service is commended- the gentleman who assisted me spent over an hour with me on the telephone. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints."
"I can't say enough good things about these invitations! The paper quality is excellent, the blue/brown combination is modern and tasteful, and the overall effect is very elegant. I ordered the matching response card as well, and I could not be happier."
"I was so happy when my son's invitation for his Bar Mitzvah celebration arrived in the mail - TWO DAYS after I submitted my order! The printing was clean and clear and the color was consistent. The paper also felt substantial, and all in all, it was a lovely product. Even my mother-in-law approved! All of the Tinyprints staff were helpful and upbeat when I called the help line, and I was delighted when I got a personal e-mail from the technician who was overseeing my order to let me know that it was off to be printed. All of my special requests were met, and I must say, with all of the stress in planning the event, ordering with Tinyprints put me at ease."
"After much online research, I ordered these invitations for my son's upcoming Bar Mitzvah. The order arrived sooner than the estimated arrival date. The quality of the paper is very nice and the colors are true. I have received many compliments on the invitation's mix of modern style and traditional elements. The best part was being able to upload my invitation list and have the envelopes pre-addressed for the same price as the return address alone. This was a time saving service and a great value."

Diamondbacks' approach led to Bronson Arroyo choosing Arizona
Originally published: Feb 18, 2014 - 3:53 pm
On the market to sign with any team, it was not until February 7 that he finally found a home with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
"I was getting frustrated a little bit," Arroyo told Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Tuesday. "Not because I didn't think that I'd get a job, because I was sure I could get a job somewhere. I was just frustrated with the way most of the teams went about their business."
The 36-year-old Arroyo was coming off a season in which he went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA over 202 innings for the Cincinnati Reds. For his career, which has spanned 14 years and three Major League cities, the right-hander has posted a 138-127 record with a 4.19 ERA.
As durable a pitcher as you'll find, he has not missed a start due to injury since becoming a full-time starter in 2004.
Still, he was forced to wade through the "cat-and-mouse game" he said was played by teams, who would show interest but then back off. Looking to get him to sign a bad deal or for less than he was worth, he said, Arroyo noted that it would have been easier if teams made an offer and let him decide whether or not it was good enough.
"You know, at the end of the day I wasn't ever intending to try to break the bank, I know I wasn't a guy that was at the level of Kershaw," he said, pointing to the mega-contract signed by Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw. "But I feel like I've been as consistent as anybody in this game...I felt like I should have been compensated at least equally to what I have been making in years past."
Arroyo signed with the Diamondbacks for two years and a guaranteed $19 million, with a team option for a third year at $11 million or a $4.5 million buyout.
It was enough to get him to sign with Arizona over the Dodgers and Baltimore Orioles, who were also interested.
"Well for one, L.A. wasn't willing to go more than a one-year deal," he said. "And I was looking for more than one. If you're going to come to a place, you're going to move, you're going to be living in a different area. You're going to try to get to know everybody from the owner down to the guys that clean the clubhouse and the beat writers and everyone.
"You want to feel like you are there and you know the guys and have a family, you know?"
That mindset would make it difficult to sign for just one year, and perhaps partly explains why Arroyo's shortest stop -- in Pittsburgh -- was still for three seasons. Afer that he spent three years with the Red Sox, before spending the last eight with the Reds.
But it wasn't just the length of the contract that brought Arroyo to the Valley.
"I think Arizona just came at me a little more straight forward," he said, adding that GM Kevin Towers and manager Kirk Gibson both called when they said they would. "They talked to me about the ball club -- they weren't really talking too much about money."
Arroyo said the D-backs told him they would try to put together a good financial offer but were more about selling him on the team before telling him he should do his due diligence with regards to the team and decide whether or not he wanted to be a part of it.
"That was just a different vibe than I had gotten from anybody else," he said, adding that other teams would call up his agent requesting to meet with him before offering a contract, but then would never hear from them again.
"You know in my world, that just doesn't work."

Good location on the outskirts of the city but still within walking distance. Pierre was a lovely host -- homemade fromage blanc and confitures for breakfast along with cherries picked from their garden. Very helpful, good location, free parking. A good choice all around.

Having lived in both countries I would say English girls as a general rule .
We have so many races here in the UK and mixed race that makes us a unique people. In my family alone I have mixed race cousins (black and white and asian and white) and they are gorgeous. But then again you have the Aussies with their permanent golden skin. ;o) I think we're equally beautiful.
I think aussie chicks rock not to put down the beauty of the uk but I like the attudes more of aussies
Aussie chicks are hot mate, just look at shazza on Housos, enough said...
I'm Australian and I have a bit of a thing for English chicks :P

There are, of course, nice looking Aussie girls around, as there are definitely very ugly English girls in the world. It's hard to tell because Australia is so multi-cultural and a lot of people are wogs or have a European heritage, so unless you ask, you'd never know if the girl is full Aussie.

I like English chicks, but European girls are often gorgeous and I think Australia would have a more diverse culture range than Britain, so prooooobably Australia wins. It would be more likely to accomodate for a wide variety of tastes in wiminz.
