Chunghwa Telecom's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Shyue-Ching Lu
Thank you, Fu-fu. Hello, everyone. This is Shyue-Ching Lu, Chairman of Chunghwa Telecom. Thank you all for joining our full year 2011 earnings results conference call.
On slide no. 3, our total consolidated revenue for the full year 2011 amounted to NT$217.5 billion, with the increase mainly due to higher fixed line revenue resulting from the pricing right shift for fixed to mobile calls, as well as the increase in mobile VAS revenue and handset sales. Higher construction revenue from our property development subsidiary also contributed to the revenue growth.
Moving onto slide no. 4, we have maintained a 90% payout ratio for past few years, and this is expected to continue. On January 4, the amended Company Act was announced. In accordance with the amendment, a company that is profitable is allowed to directly distribute cash to shareholders from its capital surplus or legal reserves. Our capital surplus and legal reserves as the end of 2011 totaled NT$169.5 billion and NT$66.1 billion respectively.As we understand the importance of stable dividends to some investors, the management team will decide whether to take advantage of this amendment and distribute this special dividend based on operational results. Relevant proposals require board and AGM approval prior to implementation. We recently participated in China Airlines' secondary offering and signed an MOU with the airline to form a strategic alliance. The board approved the project on January 16 after an extensive discussion by board members, which included the effectiveness of a strategic alliance, the execution of co-operation, and whether the possible risks could be acceptable. Prior to receiving boards approval, the issue was also discussed by the board's strategy committee back in August 2011. Now, I would like to hand over to President Chang to present our business overview. Shaio-Tung Chang Thank you Dr. Lu. In order to make a proper comparison with the peers, we would like to normalize the effect of pricing right shift for fixed to mobile calls. After normalization, the pro forma mobile service revenue represented a growth rate of 3.9%, the highest among the three major operators.

Most blogging is a link wrapped in three paragraphs of recapitulation. Sometimes that's good, but if there's nothing interesting to add beyond "+1 to that!" we figure it's best to be as concise as possible. Hence the short post-format here.
We even set it up so we can use twitter to post them! The main RSS feed doesn't include them, but we're about to have an alt called "The Firehose."
Like Slashdot's Firehose? http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl
What's with the eensy, tiny-text one and two line posts? Great to have the entries, but they get very lost in the new BBG layout. First time I saw them, I thought they were comment highlights.

Bvlgari MAN is a fragrance that I can spray over and over without becoming cloying. A well balanced scent not very strong, yet it still lingers when you thought that it's gone. This has a subtle floral notes then becomes a bit woodsy soapy-like very smooth, nothing to dislike about it. If you are new to fragrances this is a safe choice. Not a powerhouse for night outs, more like for everyday daytime dressy or casual attire. If you make a blind buy, you won't regret it. You will love this manly scent and girls will love it on you. Very affordable at fragrancex.com. Department store prices are ripping you off. I highly recommend this product, it is of outmost quality.

Cauliflower is a pretty bright spot amongst Winter produce; it's also underrated. And even though its pale color might lead you to believe that it doesn't have much nutritional value, it's actually a cruciferous vegetable and in the same family as broccoli and kale. Besides helping prevent cancer and reduce the risk of cancer, cruciferous veggies also benefit the liver and the cardiovascular system.
Now that you know how beneficial cauliflower is, it's time to get cooking!

Cracklin' Cauliflower
Doesn't Eating Bird Food's Cracklin' Cauliflower [2] dish look tasty? The recipe is a riff off of a Whole Foods salad bar dish and has flavors of curry, garlic, and ginger. The addition of peas give it a nice textural element.
Braised Cauliflower Greens
If you buy cauliflower from a farmers market, it's very likely that it'll still be wrapped in its leaves. Instead of wasting all that greenery, braise the leaves until soft and tender.

Cauliflower and Parsnip Mash
Cut back on carbs and add nutrients by using cauliflower instead of potatoes in your next mash. Really exploit the season's bounty by adding parsnips to the mix, which will give the dish an added sweetness as in Stonesoup's recipe [4].

Roast Cauliflower With Fish Sauce Vinaigrette
If you can't get out to Momofuku Ssam Bar in New York, make its roast cauliflower with fish sauce vinaigrette [6] at home. The mint and cilantro give it a nice fresh taste to balance out the spice from the jalapeño.

Couscous With Beans and Cauliflower
We love Martha Rose Shulman's cookbook, The Very Best of Recipes For Health [8], especially since we've been following her in The New York Times for years. Her Couscous With Beans and Cauliflower [9] incorporates flavors of the Mediterranean, and the result is a worthy main dish that tastes delicious without meat.

Written by Dentistry Today Friday, 28 June 2013 10:21
The 20-page study was co-sponsored by the American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM) and delves into topics such as patient reviews, social media, dental websites and appointment reminders. The in-depth results reveal startling trends about how the dental community as a whole views and utilizes digital marketing practices. Most notably, the majority of dentists remain unconvinced about the importance of online trends that patients have come to expect – and as a result are underutilizing this technology.
"Consumers are spending more time than ever on social networks, and in turn the way they search for dentists is evolving," said Michael Turner, CEO of 1-800-DENTIST. "If practices want to stay relevant they need to embrace these new marketing channels."
The new report is the latest in a series of dental marketing whitepapers published by 1-800-DENTIST over the last year. These free resources are offered to complement the company's full suite of marketing products, which offers solutions for every aspect of dental practice growth.
"Our goal at 1-800-DENTIST is to see our members succeed in growing and marketing their practices," added Turner. "This report provides key findings to help dental offices navigate the digital space to increase production and profitability."
Dentists can request a free copy of "Dental Marketing in the Digital World" by calling 1-855-236-4053 or by visiting www.1800dentist.com/DigitalWorld and taking a 10-minute demo of

14-26, 23-19, 11-26, 17-17
Game Hero: Tony Parker stepped up and led by example, shooting 70% from two-point range for 16 points to go with five assists - although the stats don't show how his passing and penetration tore Great Britain apart time and again.Stats Don't Lie: France made 56% of their field goal attempts compared to Great Britain's 39%. This was down to France's ability to get easy looks while their opponents were forced to take tough shots.
Great Britain's dream day one victory seemed a world away as France woke up from their slow start to inflict an 88-65 defeat at EuroBasket 2013 in Ljubljana on Thursday.
The Brits entered the game buoyed by their upset of Israel in the opener but that feeling didn't last long as France responded to their shock loss to Germany by racing out of the starting blocks.
Nicolas Batum set the tone for what was to come with a dunk to open the scoring, giving him the first of his game-high 17 points.
The Brits were within eight at 45-37 by half-time but France's class told in the second half and they eased to victory while resting their stars for the majority of the latter stages.
Great Britain's opening day hero Kyle Johnson responded to Batum's early slam but this didn't deter the French as Tony Parker and Boris Diaw quickly found their range to open up a 17-6 lead.
Dan Clark was keeping his team in it with eight first-quarter points to limit the deficit to 26-14 at the end of the first and his teammates went with him, upping their game in the second period.
Youngster Devon Von Oostrum provided a spark from the bench to supplement Clark's continued scoring but Batum and co. remained consistent in their ability to create clear openings to improve to a 45-37 half-time advantage.
France forced the issue after the break. Batum got out on the fastbreak for an and-one dunk that sapped the life from the Brits while Parker penetrated and picked out teammates at will.
The San Antonio Spurs star checked out with 12 minute to play and did not have to return as his club and country teammate Nando De Colo knocked down back-to-back threes to close the quarter 71-48 in front, and after their performance on day one, France were never going to give up that type of lead.

The Mays family might as well be a traveling comedy troupe with all the joking and ribbing that swirls throughout their conversations.
Ask the father, Lawrence, how many pets the family has at their current rental home, and he asks: "Can we count the rats?"
"I was sitting in the living room watching television, and one of the rats ran out of the wall, and stopped and looked right at the TV," Mays said. "He looked back at us and then ran back into the wall. I said, 'I guess that wasn't the show he wanted to watch.'"
Ask the mother, Joyce, where she's from, and the rest of the clan starts shouting, "Yankee! Yankee!" Mays grew up in Louisiana, and his wife hails from Iowa.
It's a tight-knit family, including 19-year-old Zackery, 15-year-old Alex and 9-year-old Lauren. Zackery just graduated from high school and is looking for a job as an electrician. Alex wants to fly in the Air Force. Lauren is the math genius; she wants to be a veterinarian or an astronaut.
Aside from the jokes, the family enjoys fishing and movie outings. And everyone has a passion for animals. In fact, the Mayses met when they were both working in LSU's medical research department. She was a biomedical researcher, and he took care of all the animals that were used in the research program.
"We love animals," Mays said. "Over the years we've had pigs, cats, dogs—oh, lots of dogs: Rottweilers, German shepherds, a chow, a Great Dane, three-legged beagle, basset hound."
When they've had a "quality dog," they've even entered them in dog shows. "That basset hound was a female, and she won 'Best of Breed' when we entered her over all those other males," Mays said.
The family is thankful they will soon have a new house. The Mayses had owned their own home for 14 years, but it was destroyed in a fire in 2008. Times have been tough for them since then, and they couldn't even attempt to rebuild where they had previously lived.
"We're excited that we'll have a home again," Lawrence said. "A home. Not just a house to stay in."

Governor to propose Niagara Falls casino
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - Governor Andrew Cuomo is reported to be planning to propose a new casino in Niagara Falls, where the state has a long-standing dispute with the Seneca Nation over revenue sharing.
The Buffalo News reports that Cuomo's move could be a way of jump-starting stalled talks over more than $500 million in gambling revenue payments the tribe has withheld in a contract dispute with the state. Or it could be an attempt to bring competition to the tribe's western New York gambling empire.
The News cites a Cuomo administration source who insisted on anonymity. The administration didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.
Cuomo has said he wanted to bring non-Indian casinos to upstate as a revenue source but he hasn't publicly identified specific sites.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UT Release) - A powerful week's effort at the plate in helping the #10/9 Tennessee Lady Vol softball team (31-9) to a doubleheader split against #9/10 Georgia and the program's first-ever road sweep at Auburn earned sophomore Madison Shipman her first career selection as the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week (April 9).
The Big Orange has now garnered five weekly league selections in 2012 as junior Ivy Renfroe was previously chosen as the SEC Pitcher of the Week on March 5, junior third baseman Raven Chavanne was selected as the SEC Player of the Week on Feb. 27 and sophomore pitcher Ellen Renfroe was tabbed as the SEC Pitcher of the Week on both Feb. 13 and March 26.
Shipman was a one-woman wrecking crew during a 4-1 week for the Lady Vols, especially throughout the three-contest sweep on "the Plains" of Auburn, hitting .350 overall with a triple, four HR's and a team-best 13 RBIs. All five of the 6-1 shortstop's hits at AU were of the extra-base variety as the Valencia, Calif., native homered in all three games against the Tigers and four times overall. Shipman blasted her third career grand slam during the 9-1 (5 inn.) series-opening win over Auburn and registered a career-high two HR's in Tennessee's 6-2 victory in the finale. She also recorded a clutch RBI triple and later scored in the 10th inning to break a 3-3 dead-lock during Saturday's 5-3 (10 inn. ) win at AU while her two-RBI single during the third frame of the DH finale against #9 Georgia on April 4 proved the game-winner as Tennessee topped the `Dogs, 2-1.
She currently leads the league (counting SEC contests only) in hits (22) and RBIs (26), rates second in HR's (five) and is fifth in both slugging percentage (.667) and runs scored (14). Overall, counting all contests, Shipman possesses a .338 batting average (46-of-136) with eight doubles, a triple, eight HR's and a SEC-high 48 RBIs.

Heroes Review: "Tabula Rasa"by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
There weren't many forward-moving developments this week on Heroes, but the episode "Tabula Rasa" had its up and its down.
Let's go over what worked and what didn't work during the hour, as readers are encouraged to sound off themselves in our Heroes forum...
WHAT WORKED: HRG, back in the spotlight! He's always been our favorite character. It's great to see him with a purpose again, one that can highlight new individuals with abilities and bring them into the fold when need be.
WHAT DIDN'T WORK: Hiro, one confused time traveler! So, does he have a list or not? Sometimes? When we last saw Hiro, and when this episode ended, it seemed as though he could control where he went in time. But he had no idea why fate brought him to Peter last week. The show has always had a consistency problem with various abilities.
WHAT WORKED: A sharper focus! This has been a plus all season. The series has finally taken a cue from Lost and focused on certain characters per episode, instead of trying to group a million storylines into each week. It does beg the question, though: did anyone miss Tracy? Or Parkman? Or even Nathan? At this point, many characters feel like dead weight.
WHAT DIDN'T WORK: Sylar, played out! There's not much the show can do with its formerly great villain at this point. Instead of having him under Samuel's wing, it would have been a bolder step for the show to have Samuel actually kill Sylar and truly establish himself as the top evil presence.
WHAT DIDN'T WORK: Non-believable use of a washing machine! We write this with a smile, but Claire went over to her father's apartment to do laundry... and still needed quarters?!? We've been in college. The entire point of doing laundry at your parents' is to save money and use their at-home facilities.
Agree with these opinions? Disagree? Confused? Catch up on the relevent plot developments via our recap of "Tabula Rasa."
Also, you can get a quick preview of next week's episode now!

a reply to HRG Fan She went their to get away from her bi-sexual room mate and to help her father get settle being 'normal'
I agree. I too believed Claire was actually helping her dad to wash his clothes. I guess she have already washed the clothes and then met with HRG to ask for some extra quarters she just ran out. This episode was great, but I'm really worried of Hiro now. Don't want him to die.
Why would Samuel actually kill Sylar? He like others just wants to use him as their weapon. I cant believe the review actually talked about the washing machine? Obviously a joke but still find something else to pick on
I would Miss Tracy, Matt, and Nathan if they were part of a integrate storyline..Nathan I understand because hes really not there ( I miss the real Nathan though)
Sylars story seems Redundant to me.
I disagree with the comment on Sylar. He is still my favorite character and I don't feel he has been played out.
MY PREDICTION FOR THE CONCLUSION OF "REDEMPTION": Sylar is now a genuine good guy. The evil part of him is stuck inside Matt. Matt will die at the end of the storyline, taking evil Sylar with him.
Samuel killing off Sylar wouldn't have made any sense. His goal is to recruit specific new people with abilities... What purpose would he gain from doing that? And remember the last time one villian was killed by another to simply make them seem cooler? Poor Adam... To have Sylar killed off in that kind of way would be terrible.
Or could she be washing her dad clothes? i dint see what type of clothe was on the basket.
that's exactly the point the author is making: college kids only use home laundry facilities in order NOT to pay anything. Otherwise, they could just stay in the dorm and pay for the washing machine.
Why would Claire have brought her laundry to her father's if she still had to pay there?

Co-authored with Ryan Clouser (@neurocritguy).
Status Epilepticus is our favorite neurologic emergency. If managed correctly, patients will often have excellent neurologic outcomes and short ICU stays. Incorrect management increases risk of brain damage, epilepsy, aspiration, and death. Treatment really matters.
The traditional approach to status epilepticus is based on targeting seizure control within 60 minutes of onset (Brophy 2012). However, complications including neuronal loss, aspiration, hyperthermia, and myocardial ischemia may occur earlier than 60 minutes. Rapid sequence termination (RST) is a streamlined approach to terminate status epilepticus in under 30 minutes.
How long is it safe to leave a patient in generalized convulsive status epilepticus?
This is unclear. Neuronal loss may begin after 30 minutes. The physiology of status epilepticus involves an initial sympathetic surge with brain hyperperfusion lasting 30 minutes, followed by a drop in blood pressure. After 30 minutes there is cerebral metabolic decompensation with impaired cerebral perfusion and a reduction in brain oxygen and glucose levels, causing brain injury (Chapman 2001). Early intervention is also important because over time the seizure becomes more refractory to treatment, and the risk of recurrence increases.
From a non-neurologic standpoint, a patient in generalized convulsive status epilepticus is extremely unstable with an unprotected airway and severe hemodynamic stress. Over time there is increasing risk of hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia, lactic acidosis, hypoglycemia, aspiration, myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, and cardiac arrest.
A prospective randomized controlled trial showed that pre-hospital benzodiazepine administration improved seizure control and reduced mortality from 15% to 6% (1). Although there are many studies correlating seizure duration with poor outcomes, this study proves that early intervention saves lives.
We have the ability to control the seizure early, although this may require intubation. The real issue, then, is weighing the benefit of early seizure control vs. the risks of intubating a patient may have avoided intubation. With modern-day critical care, the risks of intubation are low. As long as the seizure is controlled promptly and the patient has no complications, such patients are generally easy to extubate the next day.
Facing an unstable patient with ongoing neurologic and physiologic stress, it may be safest to pursue early seizure control, ideally in under 30 minutes. We would prefer to err on the side of intubating a few extra patients, rather than have patients slip into refractory status epilepticus, aspirate, or suffer cardiac complications.
Achieving seizure control in under 30 minutes requires a new logistic approach.
The traditional approach to status epilepticus is based on trialing a series of anti-epileptic drugs prior to intubation and sedation. Although this looks nice on paper, it's difficult to achieve rapidly. Consider the time required to order an anti-epileptic, receive it from pharmacy, infuse it into the patient (and, in the case of fosphenytoin, metabolize the prodrug into active drug) – this is difficult to achieve within 20-25 minutes after seizure onset. And of course, there is no guarantee the anti-epileptic will be effective: second- and third-line antiepileptic agents often fail to control the seizure.
The most reliable way to achieve seizure control within 20-30 minutes is based on benzodiazepines, propofol, and ketamine – drugs which are immediately available in the ED/ICU and may be rapidly bolused. (On the hospital ward an emergent call to anesthesia will bring an anesthesiologist running to the bedside with these medications and airway equipment – Perfect!).
Rapid Sequence Termination (RST)
In order to achieve seizure control quickly, the first-line antiepileptic is a benzodiazepine and the second-line antiepileptic is propofol. Propofol is a powerful antiepileptic agent, and when bolused early in the course of status epilepticus is extremely effective. This is followed immediately by a propofol infusion to prevent seizure recurrence. As status epilepticus evolves, the GABA receptors which propofol acts on decrease in number and the seizure may become less responsive to propofol.
If possible, an anti-epileptic agent (i.e. phenytoin, levtiracetam, valproic acid) should be given at the five-minute timepoint. After the patient has seized for five minutes they meet the current definition of status epilepticus and require a maintenance anti-epileptic agent (Brophy 2012). There is little to be gained by delaying anti-epileptic therapy because it will be required regardless of whether the seizure responds to benzodiazepine. However, in reality the anti-epileptic agent will generally arrive somewhere between 15-25 minutes after the patient started seizing. As discussed above, to logistically achieve seizure control within 20-30 minutes the algorithm must proceed without delaying to await the anti-epileptic agent. The RST algorithm is designed to work with or without the anti-epileptic agent, and in many cases the seizure will be controlled before the anti-epileptic is actually given.
Ketamine blocks NMDA receptors, giving it anti-epileptic and neuroprotective properties. Combining ketamine with propofol for rapid-sequence intubation ("ketofol") may improve the blood pressure and seizure control. As status epilepticus evolves, the number of NMDA receptors increases, making ketamine theoretically more effective. Combining propofol with ketamine may provide synergistic activity and improved efficacy throughout the evolution of status epilepticus (i.e., early on the propofol may be more effective than the ketamine, whereas later on the ketamine may do more of the work). Unfortunately, there is no evidence regarding the use of ketamine this early in the course of status epilepticus (evidence pertains solely to refractory status epilepticus Dorandeu 2013). Extrapolating available data, the benefits of ketamine likely outweigh potential risks, so administering ketamine in combination with propofol during intubation is reasonable.
Propofol is generally not a great sedative for rapid sequence intubation of critically ill patients given its tendency to cause hypotension (vis a vis the Propofol Assasins). However, this is one situation where the benefits of its anti-epileptic effect will usually outweigh the risks of hypotension. Combining propofol with ketamine and possibly a vasopressor may be considered to avoid hypotension.
Although usually Rocuronium is the preferred paralytic, in status epilepticus succinylcholine may be preferable to allow determination of whether the seizure has been controlled. If Rocuronium is used, there is a risk that the patient may have ongoing seizure activity which is not observable, but which is nonetheless causing brain damage. Hyperkalemia secondary to rhabdomyolysis takes time to develop, so status epilepticus of short duration (<15-20 min) itself is not a contraindication to succinylcholine. For a patient who presents to the ED with seizure of unknown duration, Rocuronium is safer. Alternatively, this may be one situation in which sedative-only intubation may be a reasonable approach, as high-dose propofol will typically provide good intubation conditions provided that it breaks the seizure.
The duration of time which it is safe to leave a patient in generalized convulsive status epilepticus is unknown. Until this is clarified, it may be safer to err on the side of caution and avoid periods of status epilepticus longer than 30 minutes.
Rapid sequence termination is a simple approach to achieve seizure control very rapidly. This is a true emergency, and waiting for drugs to arrive from the pharmacy or praying that the third-line antiepileptic works may not be the best approach. Instead, RST allows you to take control of the situation and break the seizure quickly. This also reduces the time delay to neuroimaging, lumbar puncture, EEG, and other components of patient care which will be ignored during the seizure itself.
Neurologists and ED/ICU physicians have different perspectives on intubation. From a neurology standpoint, intubation may be viewed as a failure of antiepileptic treatment to work. From an ED/ICU standpoint, intubation is more likely to be viewed as an essential step to stabilize the patient and facilitate definitive therapy.
Unfortunately, status epilepticus is very difficult to study due to its emergent and infrequent nature. There are only a handful of randomized controlled trials available, and many important questions remain unanswered. Although we believe that RST is a reasonable approach, in the absence of data there are a broad range of approaches which are equally reasonable. We are not the first clinicians to propose this streamlined approach of intubation and propofol infusion for patients failing to respond to benzodiazepine (Marik 2004). Ultimately it is up to the bedside clinician to determine which strategy makes the most sense for any given patient given the circumstances and available resources.
ADDENDUM August 2014: Expert opinionNotes
A while after this post was published, I heard a great talk by renouned neurologist Thomas Bleck on status epilepticus (see: FreeEmergency Medicine Talks). Dr. Bleck advocates for going directly to intubation for a patient in status epilepticus who fails to respond benzodiazepines. So for those of you who thought this was insanely agressive, well... maybe it is, but Dr. Bleck agrees with it.
(1) Alldredge 2001 performed a prospective randomized controlled trial wherein pre-hospital patients were treated with placebo vs. lorazepam vs. diazepam. Mortality rates were 16% (placebo), 8% (lorazepam), and 5% (diazepam). The study compared the three different mortality rates and found a nearly significant difference (p = 0.08). However, if you combine the lorazepam and diazepam groups and then perform a comparison of placebo (11/71 = 15% mortality) versus "any benzodiazepine" (8/134 = 6% mortality), with a Fisher exact test this yields a p-value of 0.04. This is admittedly a retrospective analysis, but I do think there's a signal here that early benzodiazepines reduce mortality.

I could try the old developer trick of "in the next version..." - but
the short of it is, you're right, we cheat here. Instead of expending
time on checking module versions (which seem to change numbering schemes
between releases sometimes), we just check to see if we need to make an
ebuild for it or if one already exists (after making sure we are in
$OVERLAY/perl-gcpan of course, and not upgrading your 'real' tree) -
then we just rely on portage to handle the -u for anything that has an
ebuild greater than what's installed. Cheap, tawdry - sure beat writing
version checkers (or adding deps for one)(or stealing more code from how
cpan handles it, which I will show off in the next version with some new
fangled dep checking).

Sean Astin of 'Rudy,' 'Lord of the Rings' fame ready for Chicago Marathon
BY MITCH DUDEK Staff Reporter October 11, 2013 1:56PM

Updated: November 13, 2013 6:07AM
People tend to recognize actor Sean Astin (think "Goonies," "Rudy" or "Lord of the Rings") in starting corals before marathons.
"I'll lean in and take a few quick pictures, but for the most part, everybody's aware of the fact that they're just about to go to the bathroom or just went to the bathroom, or how many seconds it is till the start and they're checking their watch, we all have what we're doing in common, and that makes it fun," said Astin, 42, who is running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Sunday.
Astin laughed as he recalled a time his famous mug nearly failed him outside Soldier Field.
"I was flying in for a book signing and noticed there was a game going on at Soldier Field. It was a pretty tight turnaround — go to the place where the event was and then go back and get on a plane to New Zealand, because we were still shooting "Lord of the Rings," recalled Astin.
"But I was like 'Nope, we're going to go watch at least one set of downs at Soldier Field.' They were like, 'No, we can't do it' and I was like 'We're doing it, it's happening...I'm Rudy, it'll work."
"I don't have a ticket," Astin told Soldier Field security. "But I've been flying all over the world I'm only here for a couple of hours, you've got to let me in to just look at the new stadium."
Security had no idea who he was and didn't budge, until a bystander shouted, "Hey! That's Rudy." Then another guy recognized him. Others nearby joined in the chorus.
He got in just in time to see the Redskins score a touchdown.
Astin, who lives in Los Angeles, comes to Chicago regularly. His wife is from Northwest Indiana.
He hopes to complete the marathon in 4:35. His best in 4:04.
He said the carnage in Boston won't be far from his mind this Sunday, but the terrorist act only gave him fuel to run.
"I was so angry. I skipped over shock. I skipped over sad, and I went right to angry, like fury. Running is sacred and pure and golden and perfect and beautiful and right, so for anyone to find a way to hack at that . . . they actually made a mistake, just like all these nimrods do, they attack somebody, and they realize a thousand times more good energy comes out of it."
When asked about what music he listens to while running, one of Astin's young daughters (he has three) chimed in from the background: "Taylor Swift and Beyonce."
Astin disputed this.

KANSAS CITY, MO – (March 20, 2006) – The National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) Broker Activities Task Force today announced the availability of a multi-state regulatory settlement with Zurich American Insurance Company (Zurich) and its subsidiaries, one of the nation's largest commercial insurers. The settlement is the result of intensive negotiations between state insurance regulators, nine state attorneys general and Zurich.
"This settlement is an excellent example of state insurance regulators' collaborative leadership on an important regulatory issue," said Michael T. McRaith, Director of the Illinois Division of Insurance and Chairman of the Task Force. "These efforts have resulted in an agreement that prioritizes consumer protection with sensible business reforms. In addition to $150 million in cash payments to insurance consumers across the nation, the settlement requires Zurich to provide significantly enhanced written disclosure to insurance consumers, protecting consumers and enabling them to better evaluate how commissions can impact their choice of coverage and the premiums they pay for that coverage."
While the decision of whether to join the settlement is subject to the individual review and analysis of each state regulator, the NAIC Task Force supports the settlement as a sound regulatory framework with unprecedented consumer protection benefits. The settlement contains monetary relief, corrective measures and business reforms based on Zurich's alleged participation with various insurance brokers to create a false appearance of market competition in violation of state insurance laws.
State insurance regulators played an integral role in developing the business reforms and disclosure obligations contained in the settlement. All Zurich commercial policyholders will receive information about the base and contingent commission compensation paid to insurance agents and brokers for the placement or renewal of a policy. Zurich will be required to implement a rigorous and comprehensive internal compliance program and to discontinue certain alleged practices, including the production of false or inflated price quotes.
"The Task Force is to be commended for working collaboratively with other state officials to develop this settlement," said Alessandro Iuppa, NAIC President and Maine Insurance Superintendent. "We recognize that individual jurisdictions will independently review the terms, which is a crucial part of the NAIC process. However, insurance regulators support disclosure that gives consumers clear information so they can better evaluate their insurance coverage and premium options."
Today's announcement represents the most recent development in the NAIC's coordinated response through the Broker Activities Task Force, which initiated a defined action plan in response to allegations of fraud and anti-competitive practices leveled in October 2004 against Marsh McLennan & Company.

December 22, 2014
Illinois' auditor general says the State Employees' Retirement System did not undergo required internal audits in 2002 and 2003.
Auditor William Holland also reported Thursday that both the state employees' pension system and the State Universities Retirement System had employees involved both in day-to-day monetary operations and auditing those functions.
The agencies told Holland that job shuffling and a statewide early retirement program forced remaining staff members to double up job duties.
Robert Knox of the state employees' system says audits weren't done because a newly hired auditor was still learning the system.
The universities system also had a $264,000 difference between its books and bank balance. Administrator James Hacking says money was not lost but recorded improperly on paper.

Eight-year-old UK Boy Chunk of Whale Vomit Worth $60,000+
September 1st, 2012
An eight-year-old boy in the UK was taking a stroll along the beach at Hengistbury Head. He discovered what he thought was a large rock laying on the beach and pick it up to carry home. The boy and his parents couldn't identify the odd rock and later found out it wasn't a rock at all.
The waxy feeling, sweet smelling rock turned out to be a chunk of ambergris – also known as whale vomit. Yes, seriously. That yellow rock the boy is holding in the picture is whale puke. That may be the most disgusting thing I've seen all day. As it turns out whale vomit is rare and highly sought after in the perfume industry.
The material helps the scent of her perfume last longer and is worth as much as £6,300 (~$10,000 USD) per pound. The chunk the boy has is estimated to be worth £40,000 (~$63,000 USD). The lad hopes to sell the chunk of vomit and use the money for something along the lines of an animal shelter.

Can a Christian be a universalist?
by Matt Slick
Is it possible for a Christian to be a universalist? Some will say no, others will say yes. My position is that it is possible for a Christian to be a universalist -- note, I said "possible". But, to be clear, I believe universalism to be a heresy and I would never say, "All universalists are Christians."
Different kinds of Universalism
Not all forms of universalism are the same, though all are in error. Christian universalism teaches that Jesus is the only way, that all will be saved, and that salvation occurs quickly after death for those who have not become Christians in this life. This view erringly states that salvation can occur after dying. I find nothing in Scripture that requires believing in eternal damnation in order to be a true Christian. And it is only for this reason, that I say that Christian universalism does not "make one unsaved".
A variation of Christian universalism teaches that those who are not Christian in this life will convert to Christianity in the afterlife after suffering varying degrees of punishment. This is well outside of Christian orthodoxy regarding the doctrine of salvation since it implies that deliverance from God's wrath is accomplished after one's work of suffering is completed. This view is not compatible with the Christian faith and would demonstrate a person is not saved who holds to it.
Unitarian universalism teaches that everyone of all faiths will be saved and that Jesus is not the only means of salvation. This, of course, violates essential doctrine of the Christian faith and cannot be considered a viable option at all.
Nevertheless, let's say that there is a man who was not a Christian who believes that everyone will be saved. This man is on his death bed in a hospital and is visited by the hospital Chaplain. The Chaplin gives him the gospel about Jesus being God in flesh, dying for our sins, rising from the dead, the need for repentance from sin, trusting in Christ, etc. The man honestly receives Christ and then dies shortly thereafter yet he never repented of the error of universalism. Is he saved or should we say that even though he trusted Jesus as his savior, believed Jesus is God in flesh, died for his sins, and rose from the dead, and fully received Christ, but because he also believed everyone will be saved, he is then going to hell? Would anyone condemn a person to eternal fire for simply believing that everyone will be saved? I cannot see that as being the case.
There are essentials of the Christian faith.
I have developed a "doctrine grid" where I have tried to arrange essential and non-essential doctrines into an easily understandable system. The essential doctrines are essential because the Bible says they are. Let me give you two examples. In John 8:24 Jesus said, "Unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins." This is an essential doctrine because it has a penalty of damnation for denying it. Likewise 1 Cor. 15:14 says that "if Christ be not raised, your faith is in vain." Here too we see an essential doctrine because there is a condition of condemnation upon its denial. So too with the other essentials (justification by faith, monotheism, and the gospel) that the Scriptures declare to be essential. See my doctrine grid again.
Though I consider universalism to be a false belief, I cannot automatically pronounce condemnation upon a person who acknowledges the essentials of the Christian faith and also affirms universal salvation. I don't because I don't see the scriptures doing it. Would I consider someone who holds to both the essentials and universalism to be inconsistent and confused? Absolutely! Should they repent? Yes! Does it mean he is unsaved? I can't say it does.
People can be saved in varying degrees of theological error. There are regenerated people who do not understand predestination, don't accept election, don't understand federal headship, are clueless about imputation, Christ's eternal priesthood, covenant, etc., yet they are regenerated. They simply haven't learned those doctrinal truths yet. Are they condemned for not rightly understanding these very important biblical teachings? No, because the ones I just listed in this paragraph are not declared by the Bible to be essential doctrines.
Now, am I saying that all universalists can be Christian? Not at all. Do I defend universalism? No. Do I think that universalism is a serious problem that undermines the gospel? Yes, I do. But, I can see scenarios where a universalist can be a Christian (death bed conversion, ignorance due to lack of proper teaching, etc.) and I believe that it is possible to be saved in confusion and error -- including the confusion and error of universalism. I do not see how believing that all will be saved automatically disqualifies a person from being saved because I don't see the scriptures doing it.
Issues to Consider
- There are essential and non-essential doctrines (see doctrine grid). Denial of the essentials negates salvation. Denial of non-essentials does not. If a professing Christian also believes in universalism means that he is not saved, then it must mean that the person has denied an essential doctrine. Where then are the scriptures that state belief in eternal damnation is within the essentials of the Christian faith.
- If believing in universalism automatically disqualifies a person from being a Christian, then please specify the logic (with scripture) used to make such a pronouncement.
- If you say it is because they deny the eternal punishment of God, then please demonstrate how such a denial means a person is automatically not saved.
I am not trying to defend universalism. I believe it is wrong and against scripture -- as are other errors that do not damn. But, I cannot state in good conscience, according to what I see in God's Word, that if a person professes the basics of the Christian faith (Trinity, deity of Christ, Jesus death burial resurrection, justification by faith alone in Christ alone, etc.) and also believes all will be saved, that it automatically means the person is not a Christian.

My first hotel in Italy....I was happy to find a simple and clean room waiting for me at this hotel. It's an energetic hike to the Vatican area but very do-able and one learns a lot on foot. Charmingly noisy outside the hotel at night but normal for the happy Italian neighbors. The quaint and historic area with good neighborhood restaurants made up for the modest room. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Cisterna in Trastevere, Italy in October, 2005. Although upon arriving, was a little disappointed. After getting our bearings in Trastevere on our first trip to Italy, we decided the Cisterna was very appropo for the village like surroundings. It was comfortable, clean and very inexpensive. We had a small but adequate breakfast each day which was included. We loved Trastevere! It was so medieval and intimate with the cobblestone narrow streets and the lovely piazza Santa Maria. The church is beautiful and the area is lined with many cafes and markets to the delight of the tourists. If lucky enough to come back some day, would stay at the Cisterna again.

I stayed at hotel Cisterna in Trastevere, Rome, with my sisters in June 2004. The location is perfect, as you find a lot of restaurants and bars in the area and it's not far to walk to the historical sites in the city. The rooms are a bit dark, but if you can get a room with a terrace (they have a few) it's really nice. Nice clean, though small, bath rooms. The price is quite good for Rome. We paid 135 euro for double rooms, some of them were actually triples.(of course it's too much for room of that standard, but again, that's Rome). Italian breakfast, which isn't too much. Good coffee. Nice staff, seemed to be a family business, but they didn't speak much english. I wouldn't mind staying there again, but this year I have rented a large flat in the same area, for the same price.
