DEFINITION of 'Conduit Issuer'
An organization, usually a government agency, that issues municipal securities to raise capital for revenue-generating projects where the funds generated are used by a third party (known as the "conduit borrower") to make payments to investors. The conduit financing is typically backed by either the conduit borrower's credit or funds pledged toward the project by outside investors. If a project fails and the security goes into default, it falls to the conduit borrower's financial obligation, not the conduit issuer.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Conduit Issuer'
Common types of conduit financing include industrial development revenue bonds (IDRBs), private activity bonds and housing revenue bonds (both for single-family and multifamily projects). Most conduit-issued securities are for projects to benefit the public at large (i.e. airports, docks, sewage facilities) or specific population segments (i.e. students, low-income home buyers, veterans).

November 28, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Health officials say they're investigating the first "probable" human case of West Nile virus this year in the Las Vegas area.
The Southern Nevada Health District says a 50-plus-year-old man is believed to have the most serious form of West Nile virus. The man's identity isn't being made public.
Last week, the Nevada State Health Division reported the first human case of case West Nile virus in Lyon County, and said that mosquitoes with West Nile virus were found in Lovelock in Pershing County.
Twelve human cases were reported in Nevada in 2007, including three in Clark County.
Most people who are infected have no symptoms or what appears to
be a mild flu. But the virus can cause serious illness for the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.

Caption: This simplified diagram shows how the neurons in our brain form connections known as synapses. A family of proteins called neurexins, shown here as blue beaded structures, help to form the synaptic connections that allow the brain to do different tasks. Defects in neurexins were found to be associated with neurological conditions like autism. Neuroscientists think that slightly different forms, or isoforms, of neurexins may create different types of synaptic connections, and thus enable our brains to perform so many different tasks. In the first comprehensive survey of this important protein family, Stanford researchers observed more than 450 variants of neurexins, and estimate that this protein family may have 2,500 or more isoforms.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- What appears to be a victimless crime, may not be. The discounts you think you're getting could be funding a lavish criminal lifestyle.
"He has been conducting or perpetrating this fraud for several years," said Jan Kostka, U.S. Postal Inspector.
Investigators said a suspect in their latest case was selling pirated copies of the multimedia Adobe software on Ebay.
"The subject was selling the counterfeit software on Ebay for approximately a 20-25% of the actual retail price," said Kostka.
Here's how it worked. Postal inspectors began tracking the suspect after thousands of complaints came into Adobe's anti-piracy group. They went undercover, setting up internet profiles on Ebay to buy the bogus software and test it for authenticity. They quickly realized the suspect was making a fortune.
"Went from a virtually zero in July of 2005. It spiked up in January 2006 to approximately $45,000 of sales per month and its able to provide a lavish lifestyle," said Kostka.
Including luxury cars, a high-end Mercedes, BMW and Pontiac GTO and that's not all.
"We seized approxmiately $144,000 in cash. We seized numerous counterfeit boxes of counterfeit software. We seized a high speed CD duplicator," said Kostka.
What they found most troubling about this case,
"The ease with which my suspect was able to take somebody else's brilliance and hard work and turn it into easy profits for himself and an undeserving lifestyle. Also the length of time that he was able to get away with it," said Kostka.
The bottom line, you can unwittingly be helping to steal someone's ideas or work. Don't be afraid to ask for verification that things are real. There are a lot of great deals on legitimate products out there as well.

Oak Park native Torey Malatia resigns as CEO and President of Chicago Public Media
By Anna Lothson
Torey Malatia, an Oak Park native, announced Friday via his company Chicago Public Media that he is resigning.
In a media statement Malatia and the chairman of the company's board shared their views.
"Throughout his career with Chicago Public Media, Malatia provided visionary, provocative and inspiring leadership. Malatia innovated in the programming realm and acted as an effective advocate of the organization in Chicago and in public radio nationally," chairman Steve Baird wrote in the release.
Below are Malatia's thoughts on his departure:
"It has been my honor to lead the transformation of what was a fine radio station (WBEZ 91.5-FM) into an internationally revered institution on the cutting edge of trans-platform in-depth journalism.
For 20 years I've kept Chicago Public Media planning and acting ever forward. We've led artistic and digital change nationally and internationally with the nation's most loved podcasts and broadcasts. Our audiences locally, nationally, and internationally number in the millions weekly," the statement continued."
Malatia, 61, began work as a program director for WBEZ radio and was promoted to station manager in the mid '90s. He also created the radio program "This American Life" and was a newspaper columnist prior to joining radio. He was born in Oak Park but now lives in Chicago.
"For me, having been given the unforgettable privilege of working with this brilliant staff and supportive board, marshaling the next wave of public service journalism is more than a choice; it is a calling
Although realizing the next innovation project must come for me now by leading another institution, I have eternal thanks and deep admiration for those many wonderful trustees and staff who have passionately supported our stunning successes, his statement reads."
Chicago Public Media's Board of Directors is launching a nationwide search to fill the CEO position at the public media institution, which is home to WBEZ 91.5FM, Vocalo 89.5FM and a range of acclaimed local and national productions.
Chicago Public Media Chief Operating Officer Alison Scholly will lead the organization, overseeing programming and operations, until the CEO position has been permanently filled.

Finally. Malatia has done immeasurable damage to WBEZ and to public radio. I stopped donating to WBEZ a decade ago and vowed I wouldn't start donating again until Malatia was fired. His deceptive launch of Vocalo has gone nowhere and dragged the stations down. I'm disappointed that he left under his own power, but he is gone, and I will have to start looking for room in my budget for money to donate in hope that the next person to lead the station will get rid of all the junk he's left behind.

Torey was a great leader for a great station. Will always associate him with WBEZ's success in a changing media marketplace. Good luck in future endeavors, Torey!

I try to stay abreast, but Chicago Public Media rang no bells for me. Finally I got it with mention of WBEZ. Never heard of Torey Malatia either. I am sure out of it.

DEFINITION of 'Interest Rate Gap'
The difference between fixed rate liabilities and fixed rate assets. Interest rate gap is a measurement of exposure to interest rate risk. The interest rate gap is used to show the risk of exposure and is used by financial institutions and investors to develop hedge positions, often through the use of interest rate futures. Calculations are dependent on the maturity date of the securities used in calculations, and the time period remaining before the securities reach maturity.
Interest rate gaps can also apply to the interest rates on the government securities of two different countries.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Interest Rate Gap'
Unlike the liquidity gap, which takes into account all assets and liabilities, the interest rate gap only focuses on assets and liabilities which have a fixed rate. For example, a bank may borrow $100 million for 30 days at 5% interest, while at the same time loaning out $100 million for 60 days at 5.5%. An interest rate gap calculation would allow the bank to determine its 30v60 day forward rate.

With its fine acting, tight script, and tense tone, The Bletchley Circle is pure ecstasy for mystery fans.
While the mystery genre has a rich history of incisive social commentary animating a compelling investigation, this series struggles to balance an examination of women's place in post-war Britain and a classic race-against-time mystery.
The performances are superb and make Bletchley Circle more than the sum of its pedantic parts.
The drama might have had more depth and texture if more time had been spent contextualizing their relationships instead of just showing the ladies putting up with a series of oafs. But there's only so much Bletchley can do in three installments, and it has many sustaining qualities to offset the relatively thin supporting characters.
Both series [The Bletchley Circle and "Call the Midwife"] find a clever, entertaining way to pay tribute to women who in their time were often overlooked and underestimated, and nevertheless found ways to never be ordinary.
The intriguing three-part The Bletchley Circle, which admirably avoids preciousness as it depicts the teamwork of four women who during WWII worked secretly for the government as code breakers (Bletchley Park was their HQ).
Perfectly cast and cleverly paced, consider it a mini-"Masterpiece Mystery" for that franchise's crime-loving loyalists.
A marvelously complex atmosphere of wartime tension hovers over the peacetime lives of these characters--no small saving grace in a script that includes the hunt for yet another tiresome serial killer/rapist with strange sexual tastes, now a staple of British television mysteries.

May 18, 2013I have to admit I am a student of the history of Bletchley Park and the code breakers and have visited the facility recently. I initially thought the series was about BP and its role during WWII but it is much more. The story line is fascinating and the period costumes, automobiles, interior decoration of the buildings and use of restored train stations and buildings put the viewer into the period with the actors. The four lead actors are superb in their respective roles. Because this is a British series (shown on PBS in the US) you have to concentrate a bit on the dialogue and accents. The series was recently renewed for another season and f I look forward to the next mystery for them to solve.… Full Review »

Gorgeous solitude
This beautiful, comfortable little house rests on the most improbable of beaches: a tidal, saltwater bay where the water levels rise to provide excellent swimming and kayaking, and fall to show places to fish and go clamming, while the swim beach remains. You can kayak across to the mighty pebble beach facing the open sea for smashing waves and wild flights of sea birds, rest in the sun among the pines, and cook fresh halibut in the evening. Lockeport is just over the harbor past the property's driveway, and it is an easy drive down to Shelburne for shopping and sightseeing -- if you need any sight more than the amazing views from this house! Can't wait to come back. Thank you.
Brilliant Beach House
We stayed at Heart of the Ocean for a weekend end of last summer.The house looks like something right out of a magazine!It's beautifully decorated,very cozy and comfortable,with a wonderful large kitchen.Everything You could need is there.You can hear the waves on the beach from the bedrooms to lull You to sleep!The beach is fantastic and so private,we had several bonfires on the beach in the evening.The beach in Lockeport is amazing and the water was lovely and warm!We are planning to return again this summer.

It's official: The 1990s are a chapter in our recent history that we can now wax nostalgic about. The 20-years-later rule has gone into effect — and television, as usual, is leading the way.If you tune in to the National Geographic Channel this summer, you will see such iconic time-warp images as MC Hammer dancing in parachute pants, Suzanne Somers demonstrating the Thighmaster and Bill Clinton playing saxophone on The Arsenio Hall Show. Nat Geo executives announced this month that they're putting the final touches on a blowout documentary miniseries about the '90s, a follow-up to last year's The '80s: The Decade That Made Us.Some might contend that it's too soon to celebrate the decade. But Larry Jones, president of TV Land, a cable network that thrives on "remember when" programming, tells us that '90s nostalgia is happening right on schedule. He cites the following formula."There's a period in people's lives when everything starts getting serious and complicated," Jones explains. "It starts to kick in when they're in their mid-30s, after they're out of college and after they've been in the workforce for a few years. Maybe they're married and maybe they've started a family. They've got mortgage payments and other matters that are associated with being an adult. This is when they start looking back to a time when their lives were simpler, to the carefree years when they were 12 to 20."Now combine that with the fact that the primary selling demographics in America for advertising are 18 to 49 and 25 to 54. Smack in the middle of those demos are people who are 35 to 45. So if you're an advertiser or a clever TV producer and you're targeting that specific audience, you can try tapping into their feelings of nostalgia. So you go back 20 years, which takes you to the early '90s. … I wish I could say it's not as calculating as that, but that's basically how it works."That's why it makes sense that Surviving Jack, a new family sitcom premiering at 8:30 p.m. Thursday on Fox, is set in 1991. The show contains '90s pop-culture memory-joggers that can take you back — the same way episodes of Happy Days in the 1970s made viewers reminisce about the '50s, episodes of The Wonder Years in the late 1980s made us remember the late '60s and That '70s Show transported us beginning in the late 1990s."It makes you feel old to see these things again, doesn't it?" says Christopher Meloni, who plays a tough-love '90s dad in Surviving Jack. "And it kind of hurts, doesn't it? But you know what hurts me even more? By comparing our show to Happy Days, you've just called me Tom Bosley."The former Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star will get no sympathy from us. We've got our own sudden crisis about aging to deal with.After last season's launch of The Americans, a Reagan-era spy thriller, and this season's premiere of The Goldbergs, a Wonder Years-style comedy set in the '80s, we knew the 1990s would soon become fodder for nostalgic television. The inexorable passage of time made it inevitable.The only thing that softens the blow is our ability to laugh at what we were like two decades ago. That's also what the 20-years-later rule is all about: While reflecting on the "simpler time," we crack a self-deprecating joke."At first, I thought it was a weird choice to set this show in this particular time," Meloni says. "But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me, because the more I realized that this really is a unique moment in our culture. The early 1990s were the last bastion for the nuclear family."It's only a few years after this period that the Internet and cellphones and 'You've got mail' will intrude on the family unit and start breaking it apart."Not that Surviving Jack wallows in "remember this?" whimsy. The show mainly showcases Jack's old-school parenting techniques, which are sometimes shocking in today's era of coddling the kids."I appreciate his right-or-wrong, damn-the-torpedoes, full-speed-ahead attitude," Meloni says. "And I admire the non-political correctness of his view on life. I find his bluntness refreshing."Meloni admits he has employed a bit of Jack's throwback approach when it comes to child rearing."I remember how other people would look at me aghast, as if I were endangering my child," he says. "I used to ride a bicycle with my then-4-year-old daughter standing on the seat and wrapping her arms around my neck. People would be screaming, 'Oh, my god, that's so dangerous!' And when my kid would be on a little scooter, everyone was saying, 'Where are the kneepads and elbow pads and helmet?' But I want to know: When did kids become so uncoordinated? She'll be OK. Even if she falls and scrapes her knee, she'll be OK."One of Meloni's favorite flashback moments in Surviving Jack is when Dad catches his teenage son trying to watch a racy movie on a scrambled premium cable channel."Today, the kid would be able to watch practically anything he wants, right on his cellphone," Meloni says. "Not saying that's good or bad. Just pointing out that the technology is so radically different."Jones says the 20-years-later rule is the reason TV Land today has integrated shows like Everybody Loves Raymond, The King of Queens and Roseanne into a lineup that was predominately '60s- and '70s-themed 15 years ago.Two decades from now, Jones adds, the rule will give the popular shows of today, such as The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family, the same nostalgic staying power."It happens to every generation," Jones says. "My daughter is 18 years old and she is a hardcore Miley Cyrus fan. Which means, when she's 35, she is going to look back at a time when her life was simpler and she and the other women in her book club will say, 'Let's have a twerking party!' "He adds. "It seriously pains me to say it, but it's going to happen. No one will be twerking five years from now. But I can guarantee you that they'll be twerking when these kids are 35 — and they're going to be laughing at themselves while they do it."

The Weekend's Best Beauty Looks From Ashley Olsen's Centre Parting To Blake Lively's Pink Lips
GALLERY >> The Weekend's Best Beauty Looks
Judging by the gorgeous sunshine this weekend, it seems as if we have spring on proper lockdown, which means one thing only- a real spring makeup fling! Hollywood's hottest were out in full force this weekend, and we were over the moon to see the likes of Beyonce and Angelina basking in the sunshine and looking the picture of glowing goodness. Click through our gallery and take note of the hottest beauty and hair trends from this weekend…
1. Florence Welch's Glossy Locks
We wish our red was this radiant! Arm yourself with Bumble and Bumble's cult shine spray to make sure your tresses look this good all summer long.
2. Beyonce Knowles' Purple Pout
It's all about the dark lip this summer, apparently, so take note from Queen Bey and embrace the look! Chime for a lip mix up, we say!
3. Sarah Michelle Gellar's Cute Side Plait
We're totally loving Sarah-Michelle's beach-blonde waves and cute side plait- an iconic summer beauty look that we will never get bored of!
4. Ashley Olsen's Centre Parting
A centre-parting is an easy way to keep hair off the face and a slicked back style is ideal when the temperatures rise. Take note, ladies!
5. Ashley James' Peachy Cheeks
We've always been big fans of MIC's Ashley James' blonde beauty, so we were thrilled to see her looking so gorgeous this weekend. With a sweep of peachy blush on the apples of her cheeks, this is a great spring time look for fresh-faced Ashley.
6. Blake Lively's Pink Lips
Nothing says spring more than pink lips, especially when combined with a bronzed glow, a la Blake Lively.
7. Ellie Goulding's Luscious Lashes
We reckon Miss Goulding has it spot on here- we literally cannot stop swooning over her thick lashes which really enhance her gorgeous chocolate-brown eyes. Teamed with a fresh, pale pout, this is one beauty look we can't wait to embrace!
8. Freida Pinto's Flawless Complexion
Hello, HD skin! Miss Pinto looked totally stunning last night and we are seriously impressed with her stellar skin. Our top tip? It's all in the blending here- arm yourself with a good foundation brush to really blend the product into your skin.
9. Iggy Azalea's Futuristic 'Do
There's nothing quite like a strong hairstyle/minimalist makeup combo to make a star shine on the red carpet. Iggy totally stole the show last night, although this look isn't for the faint-hearted! Rock on, Iggy!
10. Jessica Chastain's Metallic Eyes
A slick of silver cream shadow makes Miss Chastain's eyes really pop here! We love.
11. Angelina Jolie's Bronzed Glow
We were thrilled to see Ange looking so gorgeous and happy on the red carpet this weekend and were green with envy over her super-natural bronzed glow. Miss Jolie gets it spot on, yet again.
12. Rita Ora's Red Lip
With a striking red pout and shimmery gold lids, we reckon songstress Rita Ora was the picture of Hollywood glamour this weekend- we love!
13. Zoe Saldana's Smoky Eye
Miss Saldana has been known to pull off some winning smoky eyes, although this might just be our fave so far- there's something about the Bardot-esque hair and the natural lip which just totally sets off her perky peepers, making us very, very jealous indeed.

Title: Cute choker
Date: Jun 06, 2013
I like the ruffle on the choker and the fact that you can tie it. That way it fits a child or an adult. The cross is a squishy rubber material, not metal. My daughter likes the feel of it and it adds to the fun factor. This could go with any witch costume. I bought it to go with the midnight bride costume.

Date: Oct 25, 2010
I certainly didn't expect this to be high quality because it was so inexpensive, but I still expected the cross to be made of some type of metal. But it's rubber. Still cute, but just pretty cheap-looking. Works fine if just using for a Halloween costume, though, I suppose.

The Skills Gap Puzzle
A new report from CareerBuilder highlights the complex, confusing and multifaceted nature of the skills gap.
Research conducted in fall 2013 by CareerBuilder asked employers, academics and job seekers, including the employed, underemployed and unemployed, about the skills gap. A few major themes came to light:
In addition, 35 percent of employers noted that inflating the requirements for entry-level jobs is part of their skills gap problem. Job seekers also reported wishing they had gotten more career counseling in school.
The authors propose integrating more job-related skills into academic programs and highlight the role of community colleges in developing the workforce. In addition, the report suggests that employers partner with postsecondary education, change their perception of the talent and skills needed for entry-level positions and get past the fear that training employees will result in them leaving the company (in fact, research points to a higher level of loyalty from employees who receive training).

PLANS to let a supermarket carry out deliveries on Bank Holidays and Sundays will be deferred after residents raised concerns.
Members of Wrexham Council's planning committee discussed an application by the Lidl supermarket on Salop Road to extend the store's delivery times to allow deliveries on Sundays and Bank Holidays, between 7pm and 9pm.
A nearby resident expressed his concerns that Lidl would not keep to the delivery hours stated.
Mr D.E. Jones, who lives near the supermarket, said he had been disrupted by deliveries in the past and had often needed to ask drivers to switch off engines and headlights.
He added: "I understand Lidl have to make deliveries for fresh food but Lidl must understand I need a good night's sleep before work in the morning.
"I'm disappointed I've had to come here to object. It's been going on for too long."
David Williams, planning officer for Wrexham, accepted Mr Jones' complaints but reminded members the application had to be dealt with on its own merits, and any disruption caused by Lidl had to be considered separately.
He said: "We'll treat that as a separate issue. If things don't improve, we have the power to serve an enforcement notice.
"They haven't necessarily helped themselves but we can't make a rejection based on their previous behaviour. We have to look at the application based on its own merits."
Cllr Michael Morris, chairing the committee, added: "This is the end of the line as far as giving them a chance to rectify their times is concerned."
Cllr I David Bithell moved that the committee defer the application to give council enforcement officers the time to discuss the issue with management at Lidl.
That was seconded by Cllr Kevin Hughes, and carried by the committee.

Real Name
Charles Wright
Date of Birth
May 16, 1961
Place of Birth
Friday was a big day for Maria Kanellis. She is now a married woman. For those of you that do not know, her husband is ROH star Mike Bennett, whom she has been dating for approximately three years now. There were talks of WWE bringing him into their developmental program a while back, but nothing has surfaced since then, so the belief is that the ship has sailed on that.
October 11, 2014
Reports have surfaced about a rather interesting real life relationship backstage in WWE. Rosa Mendes was said to have been dating Michael Hayes for a period of time. Former wrestlers have alluded to the seemingly inappropriate relationship in the past, but the names were withheld. Word going around is that Hayes was quite the advocate in getting Rosa on Total Divas. The two are said to be broken up now.
October 9, 2014
After their segment on Monday Night Raw this week, there is a lot of speculation going around about Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae. There has been no confirmation that they are dating in real life. The belief is that this is a move by WWE to make both of them slightly more relevant and to have a foil for Fandango and Layla El. This on screen relationship between Ziggler and Summer could be a short term thing.
July 1, 2014
During a recent radio interview, Bully Ray shocked a lot of wrestling fans when he revealed that he was dating Velvet Sky. Many were under the impression that the TNA Knockout was still dating Chris Sabin, who recently left the company as a free agent. There might be some validity to the claims made by Bully Ray as Sabin has been spotted with another woman, possibly his new girlfriend, as of late.
June 18, 2014
Wrestling fans have long been intrigued whenever the performers are dating one another in real life. It looks like the latest real life couple in WWE might be Dean Ambrose and Renee Young. The two of them have been spotted together in public quite a bit recently. A magazine in England called Power Slam even made note that the two WWE stars appeared to be rather intimate when they're in public together.
June 11, 2014
Since their characters are constantly kissing one another on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, fans have naturally been wondering if Fandango and Layla El are really dating in real life. That is not the case. The two WWE performers are simply getting into their characters. Layla currently has a boyfriend outside of professional wrestling that she has been seeing for much of the past year.
May 27, 2014
There are a lot of rumors floating around that Summer Rae is dating Fandango right now. Nothing has been confirmed, so it is merely speculations right now. The WWE diva did have a boyfriend not too long ago, but it is uncertain if she is still involved in a relationship with that guy any more. WWE may reveal her status on an upcoming episode of Total Divas.
March 22, 2014
A picture of Shelly Martinez and her boyfriend. The former WWE star has been dating an independent wrestler named JT Dunn.
March 6, 2014
On June 6, Tommy Dreamer is doing another House of Hardcore wrestling event, and the ECW legend has stacked his card up tremendously. Confirmed for the event are Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, AJ Styles, Devon, Bully Ray, Abyss, Gangrel, Kassius Ohno, Adam Pearce, Kevin Steen, Homicide, Matt Striker, Petey Williams, Shane Helms and the Godfather.
May 20, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Godfather was staying at the same hotel that WWE stars were staying at in New Orleans. Well, the rumor floating around is that he was brought in my company officials and might be utilized at Wrestlemania 30. Some are even saying that the Papa Shango character might be involved in a segment since voodoo is a part of the Louisiana culture.
April 4, 2014
Since she is pregnant and will have a hard time traveling once the baby is born, Mickie James is loading up on appearances right now. The former WWE diva still has enough name value for independent wrestling promoters to book her in autograph sessions. She was recently at an event with Mick Foley, Kevin Nash, Tommy Dreamer and the Godfather.
March 26, 2014
Late last year, the Godfather revealed to fans that he was interested in making a return to professional wrestling. He also cited a desire to do so with WWE. Some fuel was added to the fire when he made an appearance on Monday Night Raw, but thus far, nothing has surfaced. He also has not been booked much on the independent wrestling circuit, either.
March 8, 2014
Back in October, Godfather caught the attention of wrestling fans when he stated that he wanted to make a full time return to WWE, and those rumors were flamed when he made a special appearance on Monday Night Raw. However, management is not interested in giving him a long term contract.
February 6, 2014
Godfather was a given a chance with WWE because of his real life friendship with the Undertaker.
November 7, 2013
While he has decided to come out of retirement and wants a return, WWE has not expressed any interest in bringing back the Godfather.
November 5, 2013
Since he is making a comeback to professional wrestling, Godfather is said to be interested in a return to WWE.
October 27, 2013
John Cena wins Royal Rumble 2013 by last eliminating Ryback. Other contestants in the match include Antonio Cesaro, Bo Dallas, Brodus Clay, Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Daniel Bryan, Darren Young, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Godfather, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Tensai, The Miz, Titus ONeil, Wade Barrett and Zack Ryder.

Questions Remain on the Costs, Uses, and Risks of the Redesigned Space Station
T-NSIAD-91-26: Published: May 1, 1991. Publicly Released: May 1, 1991.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) redesigned space station program's costs, financial reserves, affordability, scientific benefits, and technical challenges. GAO noted that: (1) in response to congressional direction, NASA redesigned the space station, and planned to build and test a smaller station largely on the ground and then place it into orbit in segments; (2) NASA estimated permanent occupancy costs of about $30 billion, which did not include program costs attributable to the space station before permanent occupancy or the costs to bring the station to its full capacity and to maintain, supply, and operate it beyond 1999; (3) NASA did not maintain financial reserves commensurate with program risk; (4) significant cost growth could occur during hardware development, which has not yet begun; (5) funding increases that NASA may need to cover cost increases may require funding reductions in other federal programs; (6) although NASA identified eight justifications for the space station program in 1984, it included only one justification involving a microgravity and life science laboratory in its current listing of benefits; (7) technical challenges remaining for the program include shuttle reliability, orbital debris, and the lack of an emergency crew rescue vehicle; and (8) the Administration stated that achieving U.S. preeminence in space exploration, not tangible scientific benefits, was the most important reason for building the space station. GAO believes that it is important that Congress continually examine the space station program's schedule, risk, cost, merit, and affordability.

Distributor body merges with Tisa
The Investment Funds Association is merging into the Tax Incentivised Savings Association to boost Tisa's distributor funds initiative.
The distributor funds trade body has worked with Tisa on its initiative to design distributor fund solutions that are deemed RDR-compliant.
Investment Funds Association deputy chairman Anthony Harding says: "We share a common vision of a distributor funds sector focused on quality service and value for the client. It makes sense to throw our weight behind Tisa to achieve that goal."
Tisa director general Tony Vine-Lott says: "Our next steps will be to continue to interact closely with the FSA to clarify any outstanding gaps and concerns regarding distribution and structure of these and related products."
Tisa's new advisory council, to be chaired by Intrinsic Financial Services chief Richard Freeman, will look at the strategic implications of distributor funds.
Informed Choice executive director Nick Bamford says: "Tisa has done a good job in getting its message out on distributor funds."

Bank Holiday Getaway
Friday 24 May 2013Exeter Airport is preparing to handle over 15 thousand inbound and outbound passengers over the Bank Holiday weekend.
From Friday to Monday Exeter's passengers will be leaving on flights operated by Thomson, Thomas Cook, Newmarket Holidays, Skybus, Exeter-based airline Flybe and specialist operators Tangney Tours, Newmarket Holidays and Fly Niki.
Friday sees full flights departing to Menorca, Dalaman, Corfu and Lourdes. The pilgrimage flight will carry 200 passengers, many with mobility issues, so extra members of staff will assist with boarding.
Friday's inbound flights include one of a series of 19 with Austrian tourists. GTA-Skyways will be bringing thousands of tourists to enjoy tours of the South West this summer and five coaches will collect passengers from each aircraft arriving from various Austrian airports.
Only a few seats are available on the Saturday flight to Paphos and on the three aircraft departing for Palma. A flight to Naples is also operating for the escorted tour holidays in Italy with Newmarket Holidays.
Exeter Airport's Sunday flights go to Malaga, Lanzarote, Barcelona, Larnaca and Alicante, with the destination of Tunisia back on the departures board for the first time in two years.
Monday's flights go to Palma, Las Palmas, Alicante and for the second time in the week, Dalaman allowing 10 day holidays in Turkey for the first time from Exeter.
Skybus will also operate throughout the weekend with up to five flights per day to the Isles of Scilly.
Richard Broadley, Exeter Airport's commercial manager said: "This is a very busy period for the airport and we are pleased to be able to offer such a wide choice of destinations. There is very little availability as we approach the weekend but Flybe is operating its full range of domestic and European destinations and they may have some seats still available for those looking to get away over the half term break."

Leader Brian Kolb: "Extraordinary" Session Was A Complete Farce, Wasted $100,000 Of The Taxpayers' Money
Statement from New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb (R,I,C-Canandaigua):
July 29, 2010
"These past two days of a so-called 'extraordinary' session have been anything but. This special session has been a complete farce and wasted $100,000 of the taxpayers' money. Governor Paterson never should have called this pointless session, especially since the Senate lacked enough members in Albany to constitute a majority. The Governor should reimburse taxpayers for this wasted $100,000 and stop this empty political posturing."

St. Helena--Friday night dinner
- Ms. Verde Aug 5, 2007 04:39 PM
I will be in St. Helena for a week starting August 6th. I have checked the board and , but didn't find as much as I expected, especially recent reports. I have been to St. Helena several times over the last 5 summers, taking classes at CIA at Greystone. I tried many of the big name places: Martini House, Cindy's Backstreet, Vigne Tre (?) Taylor's Refresher, Pinot Blanc, Greystone and also Bistro Jeanty, Bouchon in Younteville, and Julia's Kitchen in Napa. . I read about Terra. Is that where I should try for on Friday night? I have dinner reservations at Martini House Monday night--that was my favorite last time.
Over a week ago I had a fabulous dinner at Meadowood's Restaurant, the chef's tasting menu. Terra is always good, or at least it has been for me. Not all dishes are always mind-blowing but it is a nice place for a cozy dinner.
One of my consistently favorite restaurants is Rutherford Grill. You have to order the cornbread- fresh, sweet, moist and made with just a tad of fresh jalepeno for a perfect but faint little kick. Also the pork ribs literally fall of the bone. They have a near perfect Caesar salad, great wine list, excellent service.
I highly recommend Cook (contemp italian/cali), Market (american with a twist), CC Blue (sushi), and Armadillo's (fine mexican) because they are all smaller, less touristy and the food is outstanding.
Pinot Blanc is now gone and has been replaced with Go Fish - owned and operated by Cindy Pawclyn of Cindy's Backstreet and Mustards fame. Highly recommended if you are a fish fan.
Also new is Press - an upscale steakhouse that I think is over-priced and rather pretentious.
I have never been a Tra Vigne fan (okay, I liked it a dozen years ago but it is a shadow of its former self). Terra would be a great choice if you are working through your St. Helena list. Fyoulady's suggestions are all good but only that - just good for locals but I think hardly memorable.
My friend, a wine broker foodie who lives in St Helena, loves Press and Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen.
Nothing is better than Terra in Napa Valley, except perhaps FL. Do Terra, but Martini House is a close second. Don't think Meadowood is ready for prime time yet, Rutherford Grill and Cook may be too casual for what you'd like -- if you'd like a more casual place, I also recommend Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen. I don't recommend her other resto: Go Fish (the menu is unwieldy and the food is all over the place). Press is great for certain things -- beef, etc. Tra Vigne has been off its game for years. The best is Terra.
re: maria lorraine
Maria, have you eaten at Meadowood recently? If so, can you share your opinions in more detail?

An economic detriment to sheep farmers, nematodes infect both wild and domesticated sheep, resulting in weight loss, reduced wool growth and death.
