|Portal (internal)
Ballarat and Queens Anglican Grammar School is an independent, Anglican Church school located at Wendouree (Ballarat), Victoria, 123 km west of Melbourne.
Ballarat Church of England Grammar School for Boys was opened by Bishop Browne and on the current Forest Street site in 1911. The Church of England Girls' Grammar School was acquired by the Anglican Diocese in 1918 having formerly been Queen's College which was established 1877, and later having "Queen's" once again included in the name.
The two schools amalgamated in 1973 and became Ballarat and Queen's Anglican Grammar School on the Forest Street site.
For the 2011 Century Year Celebrations a book, Met by Wendouree, captures much of the history of the schools. Although both were originally small schools, many alumni have made significant contributions to the Nation, in politics, in academia, education and health services, in business and as musicians and artists. Many are mentioned in the book.
There is also Mainly About Girls, A History of Queen's, Ballarat 1876 – 1972 written by Susanne White and Winds of Influence, A History of Ballarat Grammar School 1911 – 1971 by Michael Boyle.
Ballarat and Queens Anglican Grammar School is located in Ballarat, on the corner of Howitt and Forest streets, Wendouree. The expansive campus stretches as far north as Norman St, and west towards Dare St. Both the Senior School and Junior School are situated on the same campus, sharing many facilities and resources. The Wendouree Centre for Performing Arts is accessed by students via the southern part of the campus, and by general public via Howitt St.
The Wendouree Centre for Performing Arts (WCPA) was opened in 2006 through a partnership between the School and the wider Ballarat Community. The main auditorium seats 857 and the expansive stage area has the capacity to handle a range of performances. It is used by the School and also hosts community events and performances. Ballarat Grammar's Music School is located within the WCPA, featuring tutorial and rehearsal rooms, and a professional recording suite. The WCPA also features natural cooling utilizing underground catacombs and natural air-flow.
The Heinz Centre is an award-winning (2002 BEN Environment Award [1] ) Year 9 Environmental Centre, opened in 2001. The centre was the venue for the Sustainable Building Expo held in 2002 as part of World Environment Week.
Ballarat and Queens Anglican Grammar School is a sister school to St Augustine's High School, an Anglican Mission boarding school in Punjabi, Zimbabwe.'
Academic standing[edit]
Grammar has been a ranked school in Victoria for several years. It competes strongly with Ballarat Clarendon College and Phoenix High, and together they are the only schools from Ballarat to feature in the rankings of the best Victorian schools.
|Academic Year
|Official Victorian Rank[2]
|Median VCE scores
|Percentage of VCE scores 50+
Rowing is considered by many to be the school's most celebrated sport[citation needed], although a subculture considers it overhyped[citation needed]. The Ballarat Associated Schools (BAS) crews compete in the annual "Head of the Lake" (also known simply as "Boat Race"), which has recently been held on the Barwon River. In 2012 the race returned to Lake Wendouree in Ballarat.
In cricket, it won the BAS premiership for three out of the last five years and a Victorian Championship in 2003-2004.[citation needed]
House system[edit]
The house system is very important to the structure of the school, and there is substantial rivalry between houses in swimming, athletics, and choral competitions, among others. The house system also provides pastoral care and a degree of mentoring to students. The rivalry is particularly seen between the two boys' boarding houses, Dart and Wigan, which often used to engage in pranks against each other. This practice was abandoned in 2007 after new administration deemed the activities of the boarding houses to be inappropriate. Dart and Wigan still compete against each other in soccer and Australian rules football matches. These houses used to be one, and their subsequent division may be the cause of the competition. The Dart-Wigan rivalry is often overlooked when competing against the "day" (non-boarding) houses.
|School Song
|Serva Fidem
The mitre and the millrind are met by Wendouree;
There are also two girls' boarding houses, Hayhoe, Woodbridge and Larritt. Hayhoe has multiple buildings including Larritt which was created to accommodate the ever-increasing number of boarders, housing exclusively female boarders in years 7, 8 and 9. Larritt girls 'graduate' to Hayhoe and Woodbridge when they reach year 10.
There are also eight day houses, four for girls and four for boys. The girls' day houses are Manifold, Krome, Cuthbert and Macpherson. The boys' houses are Smith, Butler, Robin and Nevett.
All houses are named after people who were important to the school such as former Headmasters/Headmistresses or substantial donors, and are paired in brother-sister groups. While the houses are generally independent, they compete together in a number of competitions.
The pairs are:
- Macpherson - Nevett
- Manifold - Smith
- Woodbridge - Dart
- Hayhoe - Wigan
- Cuthbert - Robin
- Krome - Butler
- Larritt
Chapel of St Mark[edit]
Located within the School grounds is the Chapel of St Mark. Originally built as the School assembly hall (Manifold Hall), the building was transformed into a chapel when student numbers demanded a larger space. Overseen by Chaplain Fr Peter Treloar and Assistant Chaplain Mrs Fiona Whitehouse, the Chapel holds several school services each week. The services are open to students of all faiths and acknowledge the liturgical traditions of both the Anglican and the Anglo-Catholic Church of Australia. Baptisms, weddings and funerals for school families and the wider community are also regularly held in the Chapel of St Mark
Notably, each winter the Chapel plays host to the charitable drive Can the Chapel. School houses compete to donate non-perishable items, lining the walls (and aisles) of the Chapel. All proceeds are donated to Anglicare Ballarat, and distributed to the needy within the Ballarat community.

To help readers better understand the nuances of foreign policy, CFR staff writers and Consulting Editor Bernard Gwertzman conduct in-depth interviews with a wide range of international experts, as well as newsmakers.

With the annexation of Crimea and rhetoric about protecting Russians in the near abroad, President Vladimir Putin has helped launch a new stage of relations that poses threats to Russia's neighbors and itself, says expert Strobe Talbott.

NATO's response to Russia's annexation of Crimea may require it to bolster eastern European members with both military and non-military actions, says expert Christopher S. Chivvis.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has weathered public protests, a corruption scandal, and mounting political pressure in the past year, and is likely to tighten his grip on power, says CFR's Steven Cook.

The vote by some Crimean citizens to join Russia violates Ukrainian and international law and could come back to haunt Moscow, its primary backer, says CFR's John Bellinger.

Though overshadowed by NATO and the EU in recent years, the OSCE may offer the most palatable forum for Russia and the West to de-escalate the crisis in Ukraine, says expert Richard Gowan.

Russia's president is now seen by many in the West as an international outlaw for his actions in Crimea, and his intervention could still expand, says CFR's Stephen Sestanovich.

A decisive U.S. response to Russian provocation in Ukraine could create new opportunities for the United States to make headway on a number of fronts in the Middle East, says expert Dennis Ross.

While North Korea has been condemned by a UN panel for crimes against humanity, its ally China is focused on denuclearization, not human rights, says CFR's Scott Snyder.

The lack of progress in Syrian peace talks doesn't mean diplomacy can't work, but the process needs to include regional powers, says expert Mona Yacoubian.

"Welcome it, open to it, embrace it, love it, honour it, accept it as it is". These are the words of guidance we're often used to hearing when we find ourself immersed in difficult, upsetting or emotionally painful moments in life. But when we try to follow that guidance, and the pain doesn't go away, we can become increasingly frustrated.
It's that frustration which reveals our hidden agenda: we are actually only 'honouring' and 'welcoming' the pain in order to get rid of it. Beneath our spiritual disguise it's the same old separate 'me' hard at work, still resisting, still trying to manipulate life, still wanting things to be different.
What if the pain were welcome to stay forever?
Then our clever thought strategy is totally obliterated, and maybe we can hear those words of acceptance afresh, as an invitation to see life from a radically new perspective. What we truly are is the source and substance of all that is, and so the fact that something exists at all means that it is already welcomed, already embraced, already loved, honoured and accepted – including the moments when we're caught up in the game of 'me-ing', when the pain is so great that we simply can't accept it, when we fundamentally resist, when we judge ourself for having resisted.
True acceptance is not a strategy, it has no time limit or conditions attached; it is the very essence of our being.
This is never about chastising ourself for getting it 'wrong', that's only more of the same old game, but rather seeing deeply into the mechanism of how we operate, of how we're easily caught up in that old familiar model of belief, of how the marvel of this illumination starts to pervade each and every activity of our daily experience.

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." William Shakespeare, As You Like It
Why is it that Chinese Emperors, Egyptian Pharaohs and English Kings and Queens reputedly consulted with fools and court jesters? Because the fool is unburdened by the expectations and conventions of society, is unconstrained by the shoulds and shouldn'ts, the need to keep up appearances, is entirely free to cut through our man-made-up concepts and beliefs to expose the unmodified truth.
So what if we are the fool, what if we dare to step outside our mental framework of ideas and explore the sensual reality of the moment?
Through the eyes of the fool we discover that we have no eyes, that what we are is not an isolated person looking out at the world but rather this entire colourful image of life happening, that a computer keyboard is no less ourSelf than the fingers that dance across its keys, that the cry of a bird, the image of open sky, the sound of children playing, the taste of peppermint tea, the fizzing aliveness of sensations, the wonder of unbridled joy, the intense sorrow of grief, every experience experiencable is our infinitely creative Self shapeshifting into ever fresh, ingenious compositions.
It's in this fool's wisdom, which our thought-made version of reality regards as pure madness, that we discover the magical homecoming for which we've always longed.
Exploring Reality?
Many of us feel that there is something missing from our lives and so we naturally go in search of that 'something more'. Read on…

City, federal officials to meet next month on NOPD reforms
City and federal officials will hold public meetings next month to hear from candidates to monitor a court-approved agreement to reform the New Orleans Police Department.
U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan approved the agreement in January despite the city's objections that it was left out of talks for a separate agreement for reform at the city-funded jail, and may not be able to afford both.
The Bromwich Group, Elite Performance Assessment Consultants LLC, Hillard Heintze, OIR Group, and Sheppard Mullin were chosen from 12 applicants. They'll make their pitches April 2-3 at the Superdome.
The U.S. Justice Department says each gets 30 minutes, with 30 minutes for public comment after each presentation.
Comments also can be mailed, emailed or carried to the city attorney's office.

Supreme Court rules drug companies exempt from lawsuitsSubmitted by Bob-45 on Tue, 07/09/2013 - 07:54
Whiteout Press
Sun, 07 Jul 2013 22:36 CDT
Washington. In case readers missed it with all the coverage of the Trayvon Martin murder trial and the Supreme Court's rulings on gay marriage and the Voting Rights Act, the US Supreme Court also made a ruling on lawsuits against drug companies for fraud, mislabeling, side effects and accidental death. From now on, 80 percent of all drugs are exempt from legal liability.
In a 5-4 vote, the US Supreme Court struck down a lower court's ruling and award for the victim of a pharmaceutical drug's adverse reaction. According to the victim and the state courts, the drug caused a flesh-eating side effect that left the patient permanently disfigured over most of her body. The adverse reaction was hidden by the drug maker and later forced to be included on all warning labels. But the highest court in the land ruled that the victim had no legal grounds to sue the corporation because its drugs are exempt from lawsuits.
Karen Bartlett vs. Mutual Pharmaceutical Company
In 2004, Karen Bartlett was prescribed the generic anti-inflammatory drug Sulindac, manufactured by Mutual Pharmaceutical, for her sore shoulder. Three weeks after taking the drug, Bartlett began suffering from a disease called, 'toxic epidermal necrolysis'. The condition is extremely painful and causes the victim's skin to peel off, exposing raw flesh in the same manner as a third degree burn victim.

Recent court rulings have had unexpected side-effects on courts themselves. Mentally incompetent to rule, the courts have been recused... Disqualified from participation in decisions on grounds of prejudice or personal involvement. The courts, according to their own prior rulings, lack standing to rule against what ails themselves. Each court has become yet another barbaric relic.

In just the last 3 years pharmaceutical corporations such as GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer have been fined a staggering total of 11 billion dollars for criminal and unethical behaviour. The illegal practices have directly endangered the health and lives of patients and highlight the extent to which these global corporations will go to sell their somewhat dubious products.

The three jailed in Crawford County in connection with a grisly double homicide are set to appear separately according to the county attorney.
Michael Schenk, Jayden Chapman and Erika Haberberger-Dains are all currently behind bars booked for murder. Monday, WOWT 6 News learned a Crawford County Judge ruled to split up two of the three cases. "Right now we are planning for three separate trials against the suspects in the case," Roger Sailer, the county attorney said.
The case stems back a month, when 80-year-old Marvin Huelsing and 81-year-old Alice Huisenga were found in a burning mobile home south of Deloit. It was believed the three suspects were scavenging for scrap metal when the incident happened.
Also new Monday, WOWT 6 News learned Chapman filed a not guilty plea in a written arraignment, last week Schenk did the same. Sailer said he plans to file a formal murder charge against Dains next week. As of the close of business Monday, two trial dates were scheduled, one for Chapman in June and one in October for Schenk.

I hope there will be a sequel to this excellent game
I hope it won't be called ZombiU 2
I hope there will be a sequel to this excellent game
Male, 16, United Kingdom
Hey there! I'm Arslaan, you'll probably find me behind my 3DS (don't forget to add me!). If not, than I'm playing on either the PS3, WiiU or PSP. My other hobbies are to cook, draw and write. Well, I guess that's enough me for this description. Have a nice day!
I hope there will be a sequel to this excellent game
I hope it won't be called ZombiU 2
What the box art look like tho? Might buy it if the price is right
I really want this game, looks very interesting. I agree it still looks like a Wii game
I really need that theme
Lmao, I really love this DLC pack! Love the costumes for Zelda and Link too 😏
Aaah, finally. The wait has been long, can't wait to play it
I don't know guys... It looks pretty ugly to me :/ The artwork looks cool tho
Toon Link though... As if he wasn't already cool enough. Also, this is one of the best Nintendo commercials I've ever seen!
Lol, I was really excited when I read the news. I was so excited that I screamed of joy during my class. That's how excited I am
But daaaaaam, why no Wii U? (It probably will release later tho )
Im so proud of my baby Weegee, he passed one million sales in Japan 😭 Now give me Daisy's Mansion!!
@Manaphy2007 I totally agree with you. What are they thinking, keeping their games hostage in Japan? smh
Since Nintendo co-owns Pokémon there won't be any shift ;d
Anyhoo, looking forward to this game. Hearthstone has been fun but it's time for some variation
Eh, I think 500 people don't represent a whole country with 127M citizens or atleast the gamers in Japan
Oh well, congrats Nintendo! And EA
But Zoroark is not playable, huh? :/ (Yes, I'm still bitter)
Cool stage tho
Ohmy, just 20€? Day one for me!
dam, Freedom Wars did very well! Too bad Sony doesn't care about the Vita...
And as always, Yokai Watch showing dem legs
Awwww yiss, can't wait to make my Super Secret Base!
@AhabSpampurse My apologies, I was joking. To clear it up; read the comment above mine
This game is way overrated and totally isn't worth it's retail price. I can't believe people buy this game, like seriously. Also, all those articles about this game are really annoying. Anyhoo, I shouldn't bother since no one can't be as smart as I am
These would be so cool with my Mario themed laces
Damn you Microsoft!
But really tho, I can't wait to play this game and it's too bad it got delayed..
I guess the logo makes sense now. Also, all dem names from the people above me, I love them!
This game looks ao amazing! The trailer/teaser supposedly was in-engine, now I can't wait to see some gameplay
Damn, this game has me so hyped! Next year sure will be great with this and Zelda U
No way, he's back?!
I can't believe it, now my brawl team is complete
Now where's Chrom?
Aah, that's great! This game looks really promising
Hmm, I guess we will have to wait for clarifications from Nintendo. Until then we shouldn't speculate and cast doom on Nintendo.
Also, while Taiwan technically is part of China many regard them as separate 'countries' from an economical and cultural standpoint. I'm not sure though, so someone may correct me
Disappointing week... Except for Yokai Watch! It has longer legs than those of Sonics new design!
I'm also wondering how long until Pokémon hits the 5m mark, if it ever will that is..
Hey, that's good news. I was afraid we wouldnt get any games in May..
Seriously tho, it is good news. I was expecting this game somewhere next year, now I only need to decide on which platform I should get it on..
Edit: Still no SMTIV.. T_T
I think I'll enter, it seems fun. Never designed a weapon though.. So I'm not expecting to win
Hey, my birthday is on the 11th of May!
COINCIDENCE?!?! Yeah, I guess..
On topic: Good for you Australia, now you can get Electabuzz and Magmar too..
@CaptainSquid Ah, I see. I loved the fact that there were four Kirby's and thought the huge maps were great! Never noticed anything about the controls tho.. But I haven't played this for a long time and this may be my Nostalgia speaking.
I guess opinions do differ.
@CaptainSquid Huh, what?! I think Amazing Mirror is, uh, amazing. How curious, may I ask why you think that?
@AJWolfTill Ehm, probably not. I'd rather have Palutena and Ptooey, but the fact that she's an assist trophy is good enough for me
So Phosphora won't be a playable character? .. T_T
(Kinda expected it tho)
Poor Daisy... 😕 (And Peach.. XD)
Aaaaaah, this is so awesome! We really need a spin-off anime/game about Pokémon playing football. (Actually we don't, but it'd be great) Now I'm wondering if they'll do something similar with the Olympic Games
Wait, what? It's coming to the Dreamcast? Will it there be a physical release? Why is this so confusing to me?
Anyhoo, this game looks pretty neat
Why report it when it's not coming to Europe.. >_< (As far as we know)
A 3DS port would be welcome!
Ah, the Mama games.. I enjoyed them so much on the DS and still enjoy them. I really need to get Cooking Mama 4, but some other games have a priority
Also, wouldn't it be awesome if she was in the new Smash Bros?! (Unlikely to happen tho)
@Superstick Green is not a creative colour. 😜
@element187 It is? But 2008 was already horrible.. D:
@Captain_Toad @ZeroZX_Dev Okay, I'll give you that. The music was meh and the gameplay was tedious sometimes, just like Captain_Toad said.
I also understand the disappointment. It was a Sonic RPG many fans awaited and the fact that it was made by Bioware is more exciting.
The cliffhanger is also really annoying, there was supposed to be a sequel but since EA bought them it's unlikely
Still I think it was a good (not great) game, but I was 10 and a HUGE Sonic fan. So my opinion may be a bit biased.
I do hope there will be a sequel, a Sonic RPG done right is one of the things I want for the 3DS (or any other system)

This company has always been worth about $100m. The market though has generally been too dumb to realize it as the management here are perpetually asleep on the job of detailing long-range backlogs until they want to sell businesses although the market has had the odd lucid moment like when it hit $4.59 on the ASO sale. The 1stDetect IP is worth at least $50-60m to add to this company's $50-40m cash. On eventual price discovery this stock will be worth at least $5 and I correctly nailed the ASO price long before the selling event as north of $50m whereas those idiots who argued with me at the time said it was not even worth its book value of $36m.
Nope, 3 is the next integer destination then 4 then finally and eventually 5 at which point it will consolidate.
IMSC back down circling the DMRJ drain at 1.24 lol. It's not groundhog day for you losers but groundhog years lol ! Buldoc laughs loud and openly sneers at all of you sad losers in CCs buying his DMRJ buddies 8c options ROFL !!!
I don't know where you get the mistaken belief that I am a Long because I have never stated that anywhere in all my years of posting here. I just got dragged over here because of the boiler pump squad here who I thought were particularly aggressive to some pretty innocuous factual statements I made initially like IMSC would not have the only mini mass spectrometer solution in the market and so I got curious as to what they were so frightened off and hiding and after doing DD a lot more serious than they did I have correctly accurately predicted the stock price of this stock for the last few years with this knowledge.
Having said all that, now that they have got that initial TSA order from a large IDIQ if they remove their toxic 8c debt and if they actually can show profitable quarters with this order then if you like this company I would not advise anyone against buying it so that's a recent change from me but those are two big ifs and it is up to Buldoc now to work hard for his shareholders and not his vulture creditors to pull off those two big ifs next year. Over to you Glenn baby.
Buldoc needs to find $60-80m to pay off DMRJ/BAM on March 31st and tell them thanks for the memory. In 1997 SPAB aka ASTC borrowed about $60m over 10 years at only 7% and they only had to pay the interest over the 10-year term, if they can do it I don't see why ex-accountant Buldoc can't.
'I believe management will need to post another mega sale and ADDRESS THE DEBT OBLIGATIONS WITH DMRJ, PLATINUM, AND OTHERS, for the shareholders to have ANY CHANCE in sharing in any success this outfit may have'
Stock should also get a boost if profitable quarters are reported, in fact that will bring in a whole new crowd of value investors and day traders. You might have to wait until May 2015 though for FY2015Q3 results for that possibility. On the debt side it all becomes due at end of March. Buldoc now has 4 months to get you a better solution than a current continuation of the vulture toxic financing and more options should now be open to him if he could just tear himself away from being so chummy with his main creditor.
It is an undeniable fact of physics that temperature increases by the known CO2 increase over the last century by itself is only responsible for temperature rises measured in tenths of degrees, not tens but tenths ! It is only by producing climate 'models' that arbitrarily have already pre-decided that any temperature difference between the CO2 by itself and what is actually observed must be due to CO2 have a forcing water vapor heating function that you get these ridiculous 5-10 degree warming predictions. No consideration as to other factors being responsible for the difference like orbit, oceans, solar/cosmic rays are countenanced or bothered with !
The whole thing is the biggest load of unscientific nonsense I have ever seen purporting to be real science and the real sad part is that it will unnecessarily cost the human race trillions in unneeded expense and effort to fix this irrelevant CO2 rise that could be spent far more wisely fixing poverty, hunger, disease etc which are real problems unlike runaway global warming which is just a fantasy and has not been observed in the real world in centuries of C02 increases.
The global temperature has been flat for 14 years now ! A highly 'Inconvenient Truth' for the warmists that has spawned quite ridiculous pseudo-theories to explain. I suppose when you have already fiddled the figures by removing thermometer readings in the coldest places this is really only a trick you can do once ;-). The Flat Earth analogy was very apt by dewey_duhawk as that is the level of the huge scale of scientific fraud that has been perpetrated on mankind by the alleged CO2-caused temperature runaway proponents for which there has not been any empirical evidence for decades now !
' Actually, it was the go-along-to-get-along types that supported the flat earth nonsense. The Catholic Church would sentence you to Hell, if you didn't . They are the equivalent of the government and university scientists today who go along with the politically-correct global-warming nonsense.'
Totally agree. 8+ft of snow in the NE is actually killing people and it is only November ! God help us all when the next mini-Ice Age actually tips up if we are not already in it as the winters have become progressively harder lately to anyone bothering to monitor the real weather rather than nonsense theories that too many pseudo-intellectuals are too emotionally/financially deeply invested in to admit they are totally wrong. The President just agreed to waste more of the world's money in G20 'combating' a global warming threat that only exists in his imagination, good job !
Short related transactions have been running about 50% last two days but hey I like your theory better, it's more sexy ;-).
bump for relevance
Pickens is more likely to bury your Short but hey it's your money if you want to throw it away. It touched 2.90 today and a concentrated effort now looks under way to establish it as support. Once that happens your money will be gone forever.
'On September 2, 2014, DMRJ converted $212,000 of the accrued interest owed by us under a promissory note into 2,650,000 shares of our common stock, at an adjusted conversion price of $0.08 per share. As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance due under the senior secured convertible promissory notes issued to DMRJ and accrued and unpaid interest was $34,552,000, of which a $3,184,000 senior secured promissory and $2,175,288 of accrued and unpaid interest are convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.08 per share; a $12,000,000 senior convertible promissory note and $3,320,000 of accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, which preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at $1.09 per share; and a $12,000,000 senior secured promissory note and $1,873,000 of accrued and unpaid interest is convertible into shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock, which preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at $1.18 per share.'
I have just outlined the future of this stock for the coming months/years, ASTC shareholders will be laughing last here ;-).
I will be keeping a very close eye on the NGCD contract(s) over on FPDS (just put a specific link on the ihub board info box) as that will give readers about a week (probably more) advance notice before any official company PRs. That Battelle development contract is worth $9.8m with options all added and in the last quarter ASTC NGCD revenue surpassed all the MMS revenue of the last two years as in the 10-Q Astrotech specifically mentioned that was the reason for the increase. It's definitely where the big money is coming from in the future as the initial NGCD production contract for all types is $110m in FY2017 which is just 2 years away. Obviously though Astrotech has to beat the two other competitors in that MSID class, Bruker and Chemring, to get it but I noted Battelle and Astrotech had the largest development contract (with all options added) out of the three so that is a good start.
p.s. I made it 93m DMRJ options at the time of the last 10-K, 67m of which were at 8c.
That's not the full story, DMRJ can also convert the interest on those notes at the same convertible rate, see last 10K for exact details.
maybe buckeye hasn't finished 'killing' yet ;-).
I suspect it's an overdue short squeeze from earnings.
There is no renegotiation of the debt required. All that has to happen is on March 31st when ALL the debt comes due Buldoc has to present DMRJ and BAM with about $60m and all their debt and options disappear on that day. Let's see how much he cares about his shareholders if instead he continues with the current toxic high-interest highly dilutive arrangements instead. He just needs to find that money from someone else, at a lower interest rate preferably, and the 8c options disappear. He has 4 months and counting to do the right thing for his shareholders but will he ...

When I read about the service, Flipclips.com, in Real Simple magazine a few years ago, I fell in love with the idea. During a long nap I had to myself, I hung out on the computer messing with the video clips I have of Julian.
They let you upload a video and then make some selections to customize your flipbook. It costs $6 and apparently the length and format of video you can take on your digital camera is sufficient.
I love this idea as a way to capture physical milestones like sitting up (make sure to end with the falling-over part), clapping, or pulling up to a stand. The resulting flip books I received were small enough for the grandmothers to carry in their purses. Plus it allows them to not only say "how cute is my grandson?" but also "how clever is my [step] daughter [in-law]?"
Some videos that I already had that were Flipclips-worthy were: bouncing like a crazy man in his Jumparoo (month 7), smiling while swinging at the playground (month 5), playing peekaboo with Ryan's boxer shorts (month 10).

Citizens National banking on the 'burbs
Send this to a friend

Citizens National Bank is opening a branch in Round Rock.
The Cameron-based bank bought a building at 201 Palm Valley Blvd. in Round Rock that is scheduled to be renovated in about 100 days, CEO Michael Vance said.
The new location, which previously housed a credit union, will be Citizens National Bank's second branch in Williamson County. It also operates a branch in Pflugerville, he said.
Citizens National Bank, which was founded in 1900, operates nine offices, including seven branches in Central Texas. It employs 73 workers, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The Round Rock branch will offer commercial and retail banking services, drive-through banking and ATM access, Vance said.
The bank reported deposits of $319 million and assets of $359.3 million in September 2012, according to the FDIC.
Citizens National is the latest community bank to increase its presence in Central Texas while the industry consolidates as regulatory restraints combined with lower loan demands cut into profits. Nationally, 7,200 community banks are operating today versus 8,324 in January 2008, according to the Independent Community Bankers of America.
In Austin, four of the eight locally owned banks were sold or under sales agreements during 2011. Last year, activity wasn't as prevalent.
In October 2012, San Antonio-based Broadway National Bank entered the local market with the building of a regional headquarters in Austin that's scheduled to open in April and employ 20 workers. It also plans to open up to six branches locally during the next five years, officials said.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 11/17/14
Tim MacMahon of ESPNDallas,com confirms that the Cowboys have placed CB Orlando Scandrick on the I.R. list. The decision comes after Scandrick suffered a broken hand back in the Cowboys Thanksgiving loss against the Redskins. Scandrick was required to have surgery on his hand and was given a timetable to return in 6 to 8 weeks. Unless the team were to make a deep playoff run, there was no reason to keep Scandrick around these last 4 weeks. In his place, the team signed NT Rob Callaway from the practice squad to add depth to the position due to the fact that Jay Ratliff is expected to miss his third consecutive game.

I know it seems like things are getting worse and worse, but can you imagine how much further things could go without out the 'net?
Someone like this guy could be jailed and even if a local newspaper covered it, it would not be likely to get coverage. It is his access to the Internet and his customers who have what it takes to spread the news and alert the troops.
People are victimized all the time by those abusing power, and only, now, do we have a way to find allies and fight back before it goes too far for the rest of us.

G2K asked me a question about why i'm not impressed with cross in another thread. seems to me that it makes sense to add that commentary to this topic as well so here goes (copy/paste)...
you know, i'll be honest... i think my dislike of cory cross transcends the logical into the emotional. i've never liked the guy. ever... so i will admit that my opinion is, more than likely, rather tainted. i was disgusted when he became an oiler and almost sick to my stomach when i heard what lowe decided to pay him (especially relative to staios).
but even when i try really hard to be objective (and i honestly am trying) i find very little to be positive about. yes, he has contributed offensively. he has also blown some defensive assignments that are so rudimentary it defies logic.
cross is paid (too much) to play solid defense. NOT to pinch along the boards. how many good pinches does it take to make up for a bad one? the guys who should be pinching are brewer and bergeron. cross should be hanging back to cover for the legitimate talent. people are all over brewer for his bad start but they forget he is paired with cross. true - brewer has made some bad plays. however, if you rewind the tape you'll notice that MANY (not all) of those bad plays are in scramble situations following a cross screw up.
basically, cross is playing over his head. people are only seeing the fluky offense (i mean come on, smith had to bat that "pass" out of the air and his PP goal bounced off foote). what people are missing is how much cross is hurting the team by playing outside of his role.
maybe i'm way off base and my dislike for the guy is making his errors more glaringly obvious to me? that's is probably the case... but do me a favor and watch closely tonight for what i'm talking about. i'd be interested to know if anyone else sees it the way i do.

Most businesses have heard of cloud storage but haven't started taking any action towards cloud storage migration. Many CIOs, on one hand are following closely the cloud computing development, on the other hand, are complacent about the existing IT infrastructure and try to avoid disruption to daily operation.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The Disruption
Here is a story about how the cloud storage migration happens. Joe is the CIO of a real estate company. A couple weeks ago, the company tape backup was broken. It was quoted around $1800 to get it fixed. So a disrupted event happened. Joe was following cloud storage solutions closely. Since he needs to do something about the backup, why not switch to a cloud storage based solution for backup.
As Joe went further down the path of finding a solution, he found out that most of the cloud storage solutions have sharing and team collaboration features. Since cloud storage solution offers that, and Joe has two company sites to taken care of, why not use the same cloud storage solution for collaboration and sharing, while fixing the backup.
The Search
Joe came down to a list of solutions, such as Google Drive, SkyDrive, some other online storage solutions and Gladinet. And the last piece of the puzzle is how to fit a Windows 2003 server into the solution. Or another way around, find a solution that works well with the Windows 2003 server.
The Deal Breaker
Joe has an aging Windows File Server 2003, for collaboration inside the local area network. He doesn't know when the file server will die but the longer he use it, the less infrastructure he needs to touch and less people he needs to re-train. In the case the Windows Server 2003 was good for another 3 years, it provides good buffer time for him to extend the return of the previous investment. If it dies in 3-5 months, the file server content will have already be in cloud for peace of mind.
Google Drive is nice and since the company has switched to Google Apps for email infrastructure, if it works, Google Drive would be a natural fit. However, Google Drive is for client PC such as Win 7 and Windows XP. It doesn't offer a file server solution.
Same for SkyDrive.
The Solution
At the end, Gladinet is the solution that can be installed directly on the Windows File Server 2003. On one hand, Joe doesn't need to buy more hardware for the new solution. On the other hand, Joe can sync the file server content over to cloud for backup purpose and extent the life of the Windows 2003 server. Joe was also happy to see Gladinet Cloud supports his own Amazon S3 buckets so he maintains full control of the data.
The Gladinet Solution
Gladinet Cloud stands out in this case, because of the following features.
(1) The ability to install on existing file server and backup/sync the content to cloud.
(2) The ability to plug in Amazon S3 Bucket so allowing Joe to have more control of where data sits.
Now Joe solved the backup problem, and by the way, acquired additional benefits of cross-site collaboration that comes with cloud storage solution.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...
