Regional Banks: Financial Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Several large regional U.S. banks took it on the chin Thursday, with shares sliding 4%.
Regional banks seeing 4% declines included KeyCorp (KEY) of Cleveland, which closed at $11.60 and Regions Financial (RF) of Birmingham, Ala., closed at $9.21.
The broad indices ended mixed, after the euphoria of the decision Wednesday by the Federal Open Market Committee to leave Federal Reserve economic stimulus unchanged, wore off. The FOMC decided not to taper the central bank's "QE3" long-term bond purchases from a monthly pace of $85 billion. The Fed has expanded its balance sheet at this rate since last September.
Bank stocks were weak on Thursday. The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was down 1.4% to close at 63.77, with all but one of 24 index components ending with declines.The decision for the Fed not to lower bond purchases took most market watchers by surprise, and was greeted with enthusiasm Wednesday by the broad market. But bank stock investors need to worry about the Fed's main policy tool -- the federal funds rate, which has remained in range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008. The FOMC made a slight change in its language from the previous statement, saying its "highly accommodative" policy for short-term rates would "remain appropriate" at least until the national unemployment rate drops below 6.5%, assuming inflation projections remain in check, but added that it was likely to keep the federal funds rate in its current range "for a considerable time after the asset purchase program ends and the economic recovery strengthens." That's bad news for many regional bankers. Long-term interest rates have been rising, as investors have anticipated a tapering of the Fed's bond purchases. But many banks need a parallel rise in interest rates to see a significant boost to their net interest margins and net interest income. And that may take until at least late next year, depending on how accurate the FOMC's revised economic forecasts turn out to be.
JPMorgan ChaseThe nation's largest bank holding company early Thursday was ordered by four regulators to pay $920 million in fines resulting from investigations of events leading to the "London Whale" hedge trading losses that totaled at least $6.2 billion during 2012.

Hot Springs' Alliance Rubber Expands Size Selection
by Eric Monson
Posted 2/24/2014 12:00 am
Alliance Rubber Co. in Hot Springs has been making rubber bands since 1923, but only recently decided to go big. Alliance's Supersize Bands, available in 12-inch, 14-inch and 17-and-one-quarter-inch sizes, are designed to help customers keep large organizational projects neat.
"Ballparks, racetracks and manufacturers, along with everyday users, rely on this product for a variety of uses," said Bonnie Swayze, the president of Alliance Rubber. The bands can hold down lids on boxes and bins and even secure large trashcan liners on 44- and 55-gallon cans.
They can be purchased at Office Depot or at Rubberband.com.

by Marlan Moore, staff editor, Inside AX – Anime Expo
If you're looking for the definition of multi-hyphenate, look no further than Danny Choo. We were lucky enough to sit down for a chat with Choo during AX 2012 and talk with him about the forthcoming Mirai Millenium, the anime based on Choo's own anime character, Mirai Suenaga. We also learn more about his new Japanese lifestyle-based program, Japan Mode.
Inside AX: We're here with Danny Choo. It's very nice having you here.
Danny Choo: Thank you for having me.
IAX: So you just came from hosting the AX Fashion Show. It looked like a lot of fun!
DC: It was awesome, it really was. I think it would be great to do it for longer, because there's just so much content there packed into a very short time. And I think there were a lot of people who wanted more of it as well. So I think there should be many more fashion shows at future installments of Anime Expo.
IAX: I notice you have a Mirai figure sitting on your eyeglasses.
DC: That's right. Mirai-chan over here, kawaii-desu. Sometimes I forget - totally forget – that she's there.
IAX: Speaking of, can you tell us a little about Mirai Millenium and the Solar Marines?
DC: So the Solar Marines are the soldiers in Mirai Millienium. It's kind of hard to describe verbally, but the earth [in Mirai Millenium] is made up of various parts of different planets. And those various parts are mirrored on those different planets, basically. So whatever happens on a planet a thousand years away – if there's an earthquake over there, then it'll happen on earth as well on that particular piece which it came from.
So, when the governments discovered this, they started to panic because it's like having a weak spot a thousand light years away.
IAX: Like a voodoo doll.
DC: Exactly.
So while it seems like there's peace on earth, if one country can start attacking another country's mirror planet, then they're in trouble. So all the governments need to send people to these mirror planets to protect them, but it takes a thousand years to get there and there's no technology at the time do so. So, an underground group called Genesis Frontier got together lots of capital from the Yakuza, the Mafia, really underground money. And they built some technology, and one of the technologies they built was the Millenium Gate.
So they rented these gates to the governments. They said, "Hey, we've got these gates that can get you to your mirror planet within a day, but you have to pay us this much." So the government said okay and the government started sending colonies of people to colonize these mirror planets.
These planets started to be colonized and protect, and one day all of a sudden the armed forces, they all disappear. All disappear. Communication with earth is lost and it becomes a defenseless mirror planet. So they got all the students in schools and forced them to – what's the word in English? Conscription? – anyway, they have to go into the army. That's why Mirai-chan, she goes to school, but she is also a soldier as well. That's how the story starts.
Regarding the story, as soon as I get back to Japan, I'm going to be working with very popular anime scenario writers to flesh out the scenario, and that scenario will be done in a way so that we can start developing anime and manga.
IAX: Cool! Do you have a timeline on that?
DC: The scenario should be ready within the next three or four months. As soon as that's ready, we can start production on a variety of things.
IAX: I remember earlier in the year you were talking about how Japan is opening up to 10,000 foreigners to come in for free. That was supposed to start this summer, wasn't it?
DC: That didn't happen. Basically, the Ministry of Tourism put forward that proposal and it looked like it would go through, but then it was rejected.
I personally don't think it's a good idea. I think there's a lot of other ways to get people to discover Japan. For example, if they sponsored me to make a TV show. They don't sponsor me, but I do consult for them for other stuff, but I think if they put an effort into small, tactical units – like guerilla units – of people who are spreading Japanese culture that would be more effective.
IAX: Speaking of TV shows, you have a new show coming up that you're working on for September.
DC: That's right, it's called Japan Mode. That's going to focus more on Japanese lifestyle, tradition, and the way Japanese people do things – which is called motenashi. It's basically the Japanese soul of how they put attention into service, creating things. It's something that's hard to articulate verbally, which is why we want to do it visually.
IAX: Would you say it's a sister program to Culture Japan?
DC: Not really. Culture Japan mainly focuses on Japanese pop culture, even though it does have some tradition. Japan Mode will mainly focus on Japanese lifestyle. So there's only going to be one episode on anime culture. Japan Mode's more for the masses and Culture Japan is more niche, but folks who enjoy Japanese culture can also enjoy the show.
IAX: Thank you for being here!
DC: Thank you for having me.

The polls are over and round one of SludgeWire Idol is complete! (For the SludgeWire Idol introduction, click here.) So enough hullabaloo; here's the results of last week's voting:
|SludgeWire Idol – Round One
Total votes 1475
|Baz Von Poley (250)
|Clifford "Junior" Newsted (112)
|Doro Jett (204)
|Jet Boy George (142)
|Josie Hilton (430)
|Lord Satyr Filth (337)
So Josie Hilton comes in first with a significatnt lead, whie Clifford "Junior" Newsted comes in dead last. So that would mean that Clifford gets the boot this week, right?
Well, naturally, there is always drama associated with a competition like this. It appears that Baz Von Poley tried to bribe Donna Anderson with a complete set of Enuff Z'Nuff CDs and $50 in cash. That's not in the spirit of fair competition and we can't have that, so Baz automatically gets disqualified, giving Clifford another shot. Though we suspect that Donna kept the CDs and cash anyway.
This is also going up late this week because Doro Jett got into a fight at a biker bar the other night. She smashed a bottle over someone's head and punched a few people out, and even though they probably deserved it, she was 'detained' for a few days and couldn't get her SludgeWire commentary in on time. So we waited for her, and now here it is.
Joining us today for round two of SludgeWire Idol are Clifford "Junior" Newsted (CJN), Doro Jett (DJ), Jet Boy George (JBG), Josie Hilton (JH), and Lord Satyr Filth (LSF). As with round one, it's up to you to pick who will make it to round 3, and who will get the boot this week. Remember to vote for your favorite newbie SludgeWire commentator at the end of the post! Let's get it on, shall we?
From Blabbermouth.net:
THE WILDHEARTS frontman Ginger has confirmed to Metal Hammer that he has joined BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION as the band's second guitarist.
Although there was some speculation that Ginger was unhappy with THE WILDHEARTS' reunion shows and was planning to disband the group once again, he told Metal Hammer that nothing could be further from the truth.
"I'm not leaving THE WILDHEARTS!" he laughed. "You can't 'leave' THE WILDHEARTS ? it's a movement, it's thousands of people! I just need a break, for personal reasons ? a break from the U.K. and a break from THE WILDHEARTS. I was going to get a flight to Melbourne and do nothing for a while, but Tracii Guns rang me out of the blue and asked if I fancied going out on the road with BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION. It was a massive coincidence, but perfect for me, incredible timing."
Ginger flew to Los Angeles yesterday to rehearse with the band and to assist in the songwriting process for the band's second album before setting off on the U.S. dates in March.
"I'll be seeing lots of old friends ? Matt Sorum [VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES] is an old mate ? and then there's Lemmy [MOTÖRHEAD] and Dave Grohl [FOO FIGHTERS] just around the corner, and I'll be making music and recording with old friends and new."
Also joining the group is Scott Sorry, ex-AMEN bassist, who replaces MÖTLEY CRÜE's Nikki Sixx.
CJN: When I heard that Ginger was signing on to be part of the Brides, I thought they meant Ginger from the old Gilligan's Island show. I think they happen to catch Ginger at a vulnerable time, kinda like getting some pussy from a chick when she's on the rebound. Scott "Sorry," you can't replace a rock & roll legend like Nikki Sixx. Keep his seat warm in the studio & bunk warm on the tour bus… he might be back sooner than you think!
DJ: Obviously, Ginger is studying at the feet of Nikki "lie & deny" Sixx. But at least he's being honest enough about the lack of following BOD has when he refers to the "thousands of people" who are Wildhearts fans.
JBG: Scott Sorry will be replacing NIkki Sixx? Who the fuck is Scott Sorry? He's got some big shoes to fill. I'm "Sorry" to say guys, but even Ginger can't save you. Better call up Phil Lewis and get that LA Guns reunion happening Tracii.
JH: Ginger is part of a movement all right, a fucking bowel movement. That's the only reason I see for Ginger to take time off from the The Wildhearts for BOD. How long do you think he's going to last? I hear his replacement list includes Keri Kelli, Zim Zum, a monkey with epilepsy, and the John 3:16 guy with the rainbow wig.
LSF: Obviously Ginger forgot to look at the soundscan numbers for his last CD or he would not have said thousands. While I'm here, if there ever was a more perfect name to be in this band, Sorry is it.
JUDAS PRIEST will be embarking on a Japanese tour in late April/early May, immediately following the group's European trek. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.
PRIEST have yet to announce their U.S. tour plans but it is expected that they will be scheduling a headlining run in the summer. Among the rumored support acts for the trek are QUEENSR?CHE, DIO and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY.
JUDAS PRIEST's new album, "Angel of Retribution" (view cover here) is scheduled for release on March 1 via Epic Records.
Singer Rob Halford's first album with the band in 15 years, "Angel of Retribution" was produced by Roy Z, who has previously worked on solo albums from Halford and IRON MAIDEN's Bruce Dickinson. The set will be bundled with a concert DVD shot in a bullring in Valencia, Spain.
Epic will celebrate the reunion of the "Painkiller"-era JUDAS PRIEST lineup by issuing a DualDisc (a two-sided disc made up of a CD player side and a DVD player side) for the "Angel of Retribution" title.
CJN: I'm geeked about this record & the tour! Wait a minute. Did they just say Queensryche as an opening act?! I would have been jumping up & down like a little bitch at the ticket line for the next Simple Plan show… if this were 1988! The shell of a once progressive band like Queensryche is no more. They are to Progressive Metal what David Lee Roth is to rock n' roll these days. A glorified lounge act! Remember Geoff Tate, you melon headed motherfucker, you said a number of months ago, "we were never really metal?" Damage control. Maybe Eddie Jackson will do a Rewind next?! Little man Dio still has the Magic. BLS?! I could careless about seeing Zakk's solo project. Would it really kill this guy to bathe?!
DJ: A DualDisc? Goes both ways? Hm, wonder why they thought THAT would be appropriate….
JBG: Epic will also be celebrating Rob Halfords coming out of the closet with a best of Judas Priest called "Point of Entry" with lyrics changed to better fit Robs Life style, including such tracks as "Heading out to the Hershey Highway" and "Ram it Down My Throat."
JH: I believe Halford is really looking forward to seeing the Japanese "sights," but I'm afraid he's going to come up a little "short," if you know what I mean.
LSF: Is it me or is Blabbermouth getting lazy and posting the same bullshit over and over again?? Did I not read this last week? I am going to start dreaming about a dual layered disc, I swear. Just put it out already.
Launch Radio Networks is reporting that METALLICA frontman James Hetfield said "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster", the 2004 documentary about the turbulent making of the group's last album, "St. Anger", with its revealing scenes of band arguments and therapy sessions, is still difficult for him to watch. "First couple times it was difficult," he said. "There are certain scenes in the film that will always be difficult. You know, the fighting scenes ? they're always pretty difficult. They always start to get your heart pumping again, and it makes sense 'cause it pushes a certain button in me, and everyone's got those buttons."
The DVD version of "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster" is scheduled for release today (Jan. 25). As if the original 140-minute film wasn't enough, the two-disc DVD is filled with extras. Among its 28 deleted scenes are more bass player auditions, a longer version of drummer Lars Ulrich's therapy session with former METALLICA guitarist Dave Mustaine, and footage from a live show with producer Bob Rock playing bass before METALLICA hired Robert Trujillo.
"Some Kind of Monster" also resulted in a book, "Metallica: This Monster Lives", written by co-director Joe Berlinger.
METALLICA are currently taking time off but hopes to begin working on a new album later this year.
CJN: They got my money. I bought this. Metallica are well on their way to becoming the second coming of KISS. Just when you think, "I'm done with them," they put something out that pokes at one's immediate gratification… I can't wait to see Mustaine & Larz having their homo moment… You can begin to count the minutes until Mustaine snaps & busts out some smack via his website…
DJ: So "Some Kind of Monster" is difficult for Metallica to watch? That's ok, "St. Anger" is difficult for most Metallica fans to listen to. Fair is fair.
JBG: Also included on the DVD extras is an in-depth cave exploration, spelunking documentary called "Exploring the craters of Hetfield's face."
JH: Tough to watch? How do you think we felt? And you sure didn't fucking care that St. Anger was "tough to listen to" did you? One scene not included: Lars personally stopping a 10-year-old girl from downloading Metallica songs. Sadly, the girl was 3 inches taller than Lars.
LSF: bastard boy floyd burned this for me just yesterday and then tied me up and made me watch this shit. Just for shits and giggles, a monster is something that is scary, not a few pussies sitting around whining to each other, thanks.
From HardRadio.com:
A New York federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought against rock band MEGADETH and its founder/lead singer/lead guitarist DAVE MUSTAINE. The suit, filed in July 2004 by the band's long-time bassist, Dave Ellefson, alleged that Ellefson was entitled to a greater share of the band's profits than he was paid. U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald of New York, N.Y., ruled on January 13, 2005 that Ellefson has no valid claims against Megadeth, Dave Mustaine or anyone else, holding that Ellefson had entered into a valid settlement agreement with the band in May 2004, and released all of his claims in that agreement. Ellefson alleged in his suit that the settlement agreement was unenforceable – a claim the federal court soundly rejected. "This lawsuit should never have been brought," stated Megadeth's attorney Charles J. Harder of Lavely & Singer in Los Angeles. "The federal court has now confirmed that Dave Ellefson's claims against Megadeth and Dave Mustaine are completely unfounded. The court's ruling confirms that Ellefson had no business trying to get more money from the band by filing a frivolous lawsuit. The band's managers Kevin Gasser and John Dee said, "We could not be happier with the result." Dave Mustaine has declined to comment.
CJN: Junior, this makes about as much sense as Eric Singer suing KISS! You didn't write very much — bhardly anything really. I think the only reason there was "some" credit givin to you was because Dave felt sorry for you, or was so out of his mind that he credited you for the two bars you came up with on bass! Come on now, the lawsuit was thrown out. You lost. Mustaine: 3, Ellefson: 0.
DJ: Dave Mustaine declining to comment when he WON? That's as big of a shock as hearing that Gene Simmons is suing someone.
JBG: Dave Mustaine has declined to comment due to the fact that he will say something stupid.
JH: I'm all for booting out frivolous lawsuits, but I'd think Dave would show a little compassion; after all, he knows how it feels to regret a decision.
LSF: Saw Dave Jr. at NAMM last Sunday and I could tell he lost as he was packing up the booth at Peavy while Marty was over at Ibanez signing autographs. That must have been a hard one to swallow.
KISS bassist/vocalist GENE SIMMONS' official website (www.genesimmons.com) has been updated with a link leading to information regarding a 1980 martial arts movie from Hong Kong where the villain wears makeup very similar to Gene's demon makeup. Check it out www.livejournal.com. When asked via a fan posting at his site whether he plans to sue over this, Gene responded, "Wait and see!"
CJN: Villians wearing make up. So it's like KISS! Better sue them for slander too, Gene!
DJ: Uncle Gene is trademarking the colors black and white next, I hear. And the name Dave.
JBG: The funny thing is the guy wearing the make-up is the lead singer of EZO, the band Gene Simmons signed and produced.
JH: Speaking of frivolous lawsuits? After he wins this, I hear Gene plans on suing the producers of "Backdraft" for using fire.
LSF: Gene, it took you 25 years to figure this one out? You aren?t that sharp, are you?
Lisa Frydman from the Suntimes.com spoke to rocker TED NUGENT recently regarding his recent Persian Gulf tour with country star TOBY KEITH. "The tour was a gargantuan reminder of why I'm such a patriot," Nugent stated. "Those who think the war is not the answer are mentally ill. War is how good stops evil. There's no Plan B here, folks. No negotiating with intruders. Toby and I were in and out of every little outpost in Afghanistan and Iraq. It was wonderful, a 'Ted Fest' day and night with the soldiers. Hey, I think I'm the first USO celeb to carry his own machine gun and ammo."
CJN: Ted is being Ted. Do you expect politically correct & articulate commentary when you talk to him? Ted was set up! Trust me, there are people that share the same beliefs as Ted, who just happens to be an outspoken right winger! Yeah I said Winger! Honestly if Ted was in Iraq, guns or no guns, he'd run like a Mexican running from "La Migra."
DJ: And those who buy Ted Nugent records are also considered "mentally ill." Go figure.
JBG: Reading this post is "a gargantuan reminder" of why Ted Nugent should be taken to a taxidermist, have his head stuffed, and then mounted over a urinal in Dennys.
LSF: Ted carried his own machine gun and ammo and we are still at war? I thought Ted was this aggressive gun toting maniac. I?d have thought they would have surrendered and went home at the mere sight of Ted?s machine gun and loin cloth.
OZZY and SHARON OSBOURNE are still so shaken after having their British country home burgled last year (November 22nd), they're recruiting a permanent housesitter. Thieves snatched jewellery worth in excess of $3.8 million (GBP 2 million) in a 4am raid on their Buckinghamshire, England, mansion.Ozzy grappled with one of the raiders, but was unable to prevent him escaping. Following their harrowing ordeal, Sharon is looking to shake up security by hiring a specialist to guard the $5.7 million (GBP3 million) property 24 hours a day. A friend of the family says, "Sharon wants a housesitter but not just anyone. She wants someone who's able to handle themselves. "It would really let her feel safe when she comes home on her own."
CJN: ZZZZZZZZZZZZ…. Oh fuck! Sorry — I was suppose to comment on this. She wants someone who's able to handle themselves? Woah. Isn't that what she said to Randy Rhoads before she seduced him?! There's an image that will burn deep into your skull… Yuck. Ozzy, watch out — there is life after menopause & it doesn't include you!
DJ: Maybe she should hire the Nuge. After all, he carries his own machine gun and ammo….
JBG: Sharon has reportedly hired actor Macaulay Culkin after his heroic performance in Home Alone to guard the property.
JH: They should just hire Kelly. All she would have to do is sing and the intruder would run, and if all else failed, she could sit on them.
LSF: Damn, I break out of the basement one day and it makes headlines. Did I just say that?
Ex-PRETTY BOY FLOYD bass player Lesli Sanders has informed BW&BK that he and ex-guitarist Chad Taylor have a new band called PROPHETS OF ADDICTION. They say the material "is sounding really cool we have recorded one song for a compilation and are working on more now."
CJN: WTF?! You can't be serious here. First the Ozzy & Sharon story & now this?! You're not giving us much to work with eh?! I hear the former band members of Bang Tango are pissed. It seems they would like them to change their name as it sounds too close to their new band's name… "Profit in Addition." I can't wait for the next update where one of these two masterminds hires Ellefson's legal counsel…..
DJ: By the year 2008, everyone in Hollywood will have been a member of Pretty Boy Floyd, so that's not exactly the best resume you could have, I'm thinking. Although it just might be enough to get you to the head of the employee line at McDonald's.
JBG: Bass player Lesli Sanders said they band will be doing a showcase for Perris Records sister label Shit Records later this month. Guitarist Chad Taylor commented saying "that after playing with Pretty Boy Floyd we knew that Shit Records was the home for us."
JH: Don't get me wrong, I'm all excited to hear the new songs and all, but the name "Prophets of Addiction" couldn't be more accurate. Well, unless they went with "Prophets of Stank." Isn't Chad the guitar player?
LSF: How about we just stop at that one song and call it a day, huh? Better yet, erase the tape that song is on and we will pretend this never happened, ok? I mean, PBF have not exactly lit up sales charts in the last 17 years they have been around and now the half ass hired guns of this band are ?making a go of it??
RHINO BUCKET vocalist/guitarist Georg Dolivo has issued the following message via the band's official website (www.rhinobucket.com): "Just hanging around and making music is what we're doing… There will be a Rhino Bucket album in 2005! I can't wait, as this is the best line-up we've ever had. Oh, by the way, (lead guitarist) Brian (Forsythe) started his own website and if you want to check it out go to: http://www.brianforsythe.com . Anyway, I'm working this weekend so no fun for Georg but don't let that stop you from being an ass on the message boards so go to it. Cheers, Georg."
CJN: Wasn't Brain Forsythe painting billboards for a living? It's great to see he's "movin' on up!"
DJ: Funnily enough, if you go to the Rhino Bucket site now, Georg is apologizing for his "make an ass of yourself" comments. "I mean it in the same way when I ask my son, 'Are you dumb?' I certainly do not think he's dumb, I made sure he knows this." Obviously, the son is a genius and it must be hereditary.
JBG: After you're done being an ass on their message board, don't forget Georg will be working this weekend at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles so come down and be an ass to him and the staff.
LSF: Just how long does it take to make a fucking Rhino Bucket CD? Did you not get back together 4 years ago to make one or am I wrong? Better yet, who cares about a Rhino Bucket CD anyway? And while I'm here, who cares about these bands here anyway? What is with all of these wimpy bands anyway? Where are the black metal bands and their news updates?
MOTLEY CRUE fan site www.ScrueYou.com has made the brand new VINCE NEIL single 'Promise Me' available here. When speaking with The Edmonton Sun last year, Vince had the following to say about his new single: "It's a song called 'Promise Me', written by Desmond Child, so obviously it's a pretty f—ing cool song. It doesn't sound like Motley. It sounds like, I don't know, it kinda has a U2 feel." Although Neil filmed a video for 'Promise Me' this past October in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino hotel pool, a release date for the single, or Vince's upcoming solo album, have yet to be announced.
CJN: Vince, just "Promise Me" I won't ever have to hear this sappy watered-down Bon Jovi wanna be song on your solo tour! That's right, it's all retread Motley material!
DJ: The video would have been more true-to-life if it were filmed at one of the casino buffets, but you can't just assume it's a "fucking cool song" when it comes from someone who was at least partially responsible for "I Was Made for Loving You". Even if he did have Butch Walker play on his solo album.
JBG: Yeah, it kinda sounds like U2 if they wrote a shitty song and traded Bono for a no talent ass clown.
JH: I didn't get a U2 feel from it. I got more of The Troggs "Love Is All Around" kind of vibe, but it did leave me with a rather warm tingley sensation. I likey!
LSF: I know when this video is aired, all of the Glam boys here will drag me up from the basement and make me watch this video with them and I pray that Vince is wearing a shirt. Don?t you ever go to the pool and there is this one guy walking around who really needs a shirt on and every one is afraid to tell him? Oh, Vince releasing a solo CD is about as important as me farting.
So there it is! The candidates have completed the second round of the SludgeWire commentary competition. Now it's time for our judges to give their feedback about this round. Here they are.
Dana Brittingham: A much more valiant effort this week from Clifford "Junior" Newsted, who threw out some insulting one-liners and didn't hold back nearly as much as he did last week. Josie Hilton seemed to step it up a notch too, so I can't say that I wasn't impressed with her commentary. Good job. I feel bad that Doro Jett had a rough week, and I think it's reflective in her performance this time around. Hopefully she can stay out of bar fights long enough to make it to round 3 of SludgeWire Idol. I felt that Jet Boy George, for some reason, was the one holding back this week, but I'm all whacked on crystal so I could have overlooked something. And lastly, the always disgusting LordSatyrFilth did not disappoint this week, though I'm still afraid to say anything negative about his SludgeWire contributions — especially after seeing what he did to that goat carcass in the basement last week. Fucking vile.
Donna Anderson: I'm only mentioning the worthy contestants this round because I have to make it snappy… I have a gyno appointment in an hour. I believe that the majority of you came out stronger this week than last week, although it was kind of hard to tell with Floyd sitting beside me making that noise he does with the back of his throat. GOD DAMNIT FLOYD, WOULD YOU FUCKING KNOCK IT OFF? It's bad enough when you follow me to the staff lunch room EVERY DAY and you sit across from me and stare at me and make those gross fucking noises while I'm trying to fucking eat! And Jani knows you've been wiping your boogers under the table too. Oh my God did you just fart? I'm gonna fucking vomit. Doro Jett, you stayed consistent, you didn't "try too hard" and went with the flow. I like that. Josie Hilton, you seemed to open up a little more this round and it showed, good job. GOD DAMNIT FLOYD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! would you PLEASE QUIT MAKING THAT FUCKING NOISE!!!!!! LordSatyrFilth, You seemed to hold back a little this round, why? I mean.. You still scare the living fuck out of me. By the way… Did you write this note and leave it in my office? "Roses are red, violets are blue… I'll chop your head off and fuck your corpse… if you wanted me to." Um, that was very sweet of you. Thank you for the pig heart as well, Floyd came in to borrow my stapler and I haven't seen it since.. He never returned my stapler either. Jet Boy George, I think you definitely came out the strongest this week.. you had some good comments and I look forward to seeing what you've got next week, it's unfortunate that it's not one of my tits in your hand but I'll get over it. Floyd, get your hand off my leg before I take off my platform and beat the pigtails off your fucking head!
bastard boy floyd: whooooooooooooooooooo! That's all I really have to say this week. Deal with it.
Our panel of judges has spoken, but don't listen to them — it's up to YOU to decide who did the best in this week's SludgeWire! So please take a second to vote using the poll below. Whoever gets the least amount of votes will be kicked out of the competion and will drift in SludgeWire obscurity while all the other paticipants battle it out for the title of SludgeWire Idol!
The polls will stay open from now until we feel like taking them down. So don't fuck around… VOTE NOW!

Have you read any history at all? Ever? Not only have majorities had the government enslave and assist with enslaving, they have also had their governments carry out genocides and mass murder. The majority can do these things, and has done these things, both in theory and in fact.

- econimic growth
Date 2003-11-30 Availability unrestricted AbstractEconomic growth is the single most important factor in the economic success of nations. Growth can be robust in trying circumstances over the short term, but usually requires the basic tenets of peace, safety and security, the rule of law, price and exchange rate stability and a market friendly ambience to be sustainable over decades.
Achieving this is a formidable task, but does not guarantee success, because other factors, such as pessimism or uncertainty in the business community, rumours and corruption, can impede progress.
Government policy plays a vital role in economic growth, but measures of it are scarce and problematic. Similarly, economic data focus on outcomes, rather than on causes, for example, numbers employed rather than labour market policies.
Growth analysts generally use indirect measures to analyse growth causes and effects. There are more of these, but many are also volatile over the long term.
Economists devised empirical tools to compensate for these obstacles, and such tools were used in this study to investigate South Africa's growth record, in order to determine what worked and what did not.
This study shows that measures of openness of the economy to trade are indicative of growth. A robust and export-oriented manufacturing sector contributes to growth and perpetuates itself. This implies that barriers to trade, such as tariffs and quotas must be minimised and manufactured exports promoted, rather than primary products such as iron ore and coal.
Nonproductive government spending reduces the growth rate and should be minimised, and the largest expenditures should be on safety and security (because crime incidence reduces growth), housing for the poor, and education, while most other services such as electricity, transport and communication should be privatised.
While investment is important, its link to growth is bi-directional. However, productivity is a significant contributor to growth. Unused capacity of human resources and machines is productivity's main detractor. Policies to enhance rival competition in the private sector, with full utilisation of capacity, increase productivity growth and can have sizeable spin-offs for economic growth and living standards.

Elroy Hanson
Wambach & Hanson Law Office
210 South Main Street
P.O. Box 340
Mahnomen, Minnesota 56557
Dear Mr. Hanson:
In your letter to the Attorney General you present substantially the following:
An established drainage system has five miles of open ditch in the drainage system. The total benefits determined many years ago in the original drainage system proceeding were $25,000.00. The drainage system is now in need of repairs exceeding $25,000.00.
You then ask substantially the following:
Does the limitation contained in Minn. Stat. § 103E.715, subd. 4(a) (1996) on cost of repairs under a repair petition apply to routine maintenance and repairs made by a drainage authority pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 103E.705 (1996)?
The limitation on cost of repairs contained in Minn. Stat. § 103E.715, subd. 4(a) (1996) does not apply to routine maintenance and repairs made under Minn. Stat. § 103E.705 (1996). Minn. Stat. § 103E.715 (formerly Minn. Stat. § 106.471, subd. 4) governs procedures for repairs to a drainage system made pursuant to a petition filed by an individual or an entity interested in or affected by a drainage system. Under the petition procedure, a drainage authority shall make findings and order a repair if "the drainage authority determines that the drainage system is in need of repair so that it no longer serves its original purpose and the cost of repair will not exceed the total benefits determined in the original drainage system proceeding." Minn. Stat. § 103E.715, subd. 4(a)(2) (emphasis added).
In contrast, Minn. Stat. § 103E.705 (formerly Minn. Stat. § 106.471, subd. 2) permits a drainage authority to make routine maintenance and repairs to a drainage system without a petition proceeding. The extent to which a drainage authority may make routine maintenance and repairs is limited by the language of the statute itself, which states, in part:
In one calendar year the drainage authority may not levy an assessment for repairs or maintenance on one drainage system for more than 20 percent of the benefits of the drainage system, $1,000 per mile of open ditch in the ditch system, or $50,000, whichever is greater, except for a repair made after a disaster as provided under subdivision 7 or under the petition procedure.
Minn. Stat. § 103E.705, subd. 6. Thus, on the face of the statute, a drainage authority may, at minimum, make routine repairs to a drainage system totaling up to $50,000 in one calendar year. The drainage authority may exceed the $50,000 repair limit in one calendar year if one or more of the following conditions exist:
(a) 20% of the benefits of the drainage system is an amount exceeding $50,000; or
(b) the drainage system contains more than 50 miles of open ditch; or
(c) the repair is made after a disaster, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 103E.705, subd. 7; or
(d) the petition procedure is utilized.
The language of Minn. Stat. § 103E.705 is unambiguous. "When the words of a law in their application to an existing situation are clear and free from all ambiguity, the letter of the law shall not be disregarded under the pretext of pursuing the spirit." Minn. Stat. § 645.16 (1996). In Hagen v. Martin County, 253 Minn. 367, 370, 91 N.W. 2d 657, 660, (1958), the Minnesota Supreme Court proclaimed that "[d]rainage proceedings in this state are purely statutory and their validity depends upon a strict compliance with the provisions of the statute by which they are regulated and controlled." Thus, given the clear language of Minn. Stat. § 103E.705, the limitation on cost of repairs made pursuant to a petition under Minn. Stat. § 103E.715 does not apply to routine maintenance and repairs made by a drainage authority under Minn. Stat. § 103E.705. 1
Furthermore, Minnesota courts have recognized the distinction between repairs made pursuant to a petition and routine maintenance and repairs made by a drainage authority. In Petitions of Dudek, 244 Minn. 532, 70 N.W.2d 329 (1955), the Minnesota Supreme Court stated:
[A]n examination of the statutory history of the drainage ditch repair provisions clearly indicates that the proceedings pursuant to a petition under [§ 103E.715] and repairs resulting from a determination of the [drainage authority] from the annual report under [§ 103E.705] should not be subject to the same limitations.
244 Minn. at 536; 70 N.W. at 332. The Dudek court then looked at the history of the two provisions, noting that authority to make routine repairs was granted to drainage authorities in 1927 while, "[i]n contrast, it was not until L. 1947, c. 143, § 47, which is the basis for [§ 103E.715], that any blanket limitations were placed upon the cost of repairs which could be ordered in a proceeding pursuant to petition." Id. Thus, the blanket limitation contained in the statute governing petition procedures has not historically applied to the statutory provisions relating to routine maintenance and repairs.
Finally, it should be noted that the Dudek court recognized that a blanket limitation on cost of repairs like that contained in Minn. Stat. § 103E.715 may prove to be impracticable. The court recommended a legislative solution, stating:
While a blanket limitation on the cost of repairs which can be made to a ditch may prove to be impracticable in instances where the depreciated value of the dollar has raised the cost of necessary repairs in excess of benefits assessed on the value of the dollar some 40 years ago, this is a problem that must be met by legislative enactment rather than by a distortion of the existing statutes.
244 Minn. at 538 n.7, 70 N.W.2d at 333 n.6.
As suggested by the court, the Minnesota Legislature has met this problem by periodically amending the routine maintenance and repair statute to increase the amount a drainage authority may spend in one calendar year for such repairs. For example, as enacted in 1927, the statute permitted a drainage authority to make routine repairs when the amount of repairs did not exceed $500. See L. 1927, c. 51, § 3. By 1949, the amount was raised to $1,000, but the authority could not spend in one year more than 10% of the original cost of the system. Minn. Stat. 106.471, subd. 2(b) (1949). In 1957, the statute was amended to permit the authority
to spend on routine repairs in one year up to 20% of the original cost of construction, not to exceed $2,000. Minn. Stat. 106.471, subd. 2(b) (1957).
The statute was again amended in 1965. The statute read in part: "In one calendar year the board shall not spend or contract to be spent for repairs or maintenance on one ditch system a sum greater than 20 percent of the cost of construction thereof in that county, or the sum of $5,000 if the said 20 percent is less than $5,000, except as provided in subdivision 4." See 1965 Minn. Laws, ch. 257, sec. 1. In 1969, the statute was amended to increase the limit to $10,000 (see Minn. Stat. § 106.471, subd. 2 (1969)); today it stands at $50,000. Minn. Stat. § 103E.705, subd. 2 (1996). These periodic amendments indicate that the Legislature has recognized the effect of inflation upon the routine repair statute, and has responded by raising the amount which a drainage authority could spend in one calendar year for routine maintenance and repairs.
In writing this opinion, we are not unmindful of the opinions rendered by this office on November 27, 1947 and March 26, 1951 regarding Minn. Stat. § 106.471 (the predecessor to Minn. Stat. §§ 103E.705 and 103E.715). An examination of those opinions reveals that they are consistent with this opinion. At the time those opinions were issued, the language of Minn. Stat. § 106.471, subd. 2, regarding routine repairs expressly limited the amount expended on repairs made without a petition in one year to 10% of the cost of construction of the drainage system. Repairs made pursuant to a petition under Minn. Stat. § 106.471, subd. 4 could not be made "if the cost thereof exceed[ed] the benefits theretofore determined in the ditch proceeding."
Thus, both routine repairs and petitioned repairs were expressly limited by statutory language linking such repairs to the costs or benefits of a ditch system as determined in the original ditch proceedings. That is no longer the case. As described above, the Legislature amended the routine repair statute on numerous occasions. Following the 1965 changes, the language of Minn. Stat. § 106.471, subd. 2 no longer limited the cost of a routine repair to the benefits as originally determined.
Very truly yours,
Attorney General

One Blood
The biblical answer to racism
Closing remarks
Why does it matter?
Many years ago in Australia, a Bible college student declared that missionaries should not waste their time preaching to the Australian Aborigines. He believed they weren't of Adam's race, and therefore could not be saved.1
Sadly, history reports that some missionaries didn't see the need to take the Gospel message to certain 'primitive' tribes because they were not sufficiently 'human' on the evolutionary scale. For instance, a professor in the 1800's wrote
If one must draw a sharp boundary between them, it has to be drawn between the most highly developed and civilized man on the one hand and the rudest savages on the other, and the latter have to be classed with the animals. This is, in fact, the opinion of many travelers, who have long watched the lowest human races in their native countries. Thus, for example, a great English traveler, who lived for a considerable time on the west coast of Africa, says: 'I consider the Negro to be a lower species of man, and cannot make up my mind to look upon him as "a man and a brother," for the gorilla would then also have to be admitted into the family.' Even many Christian missionaries, who, after long years of fruitless endeavors to civilize these lowest races have abandoned the attempt, express the same harsh judgment and maintain that it would be easier to train the most intelligent domestic animals to a moral and civilized life, than these unreasoning brute-like men. For instance, the able Austrian missionary Morlang, who tried for many years without the slightest success to civilize the ape-like Negro tribes on the Upper Nile, expressly says: 'that any mission to such savages is absolutely useless. They stand far below unreasoning animals; the latter at least show signs of affection towards those who are kind towards them, whereas these brutal natives are utterly incapable of any feeling of gratitude.'2
Evolutionists like Hitler treated the Jews, Gypsies and other groups as inferior, and therefore argued that they needed to be eliminated.3
Today, depending on the country, marriages between different people groups often result in persecution for the parents and the children. In addition, current attempts at 'ethnic cleansing' are the result of the hatred of one particular people group toward another. Even within a segment of the church in America today, there remains intense prejudice in regard to one's skin shade.
All of these problems, and any others concerning such 'racial' prejudice, could easily be solved if all people built their thinking on God's Word, and would believe
And He has made all nations of men of one blood to dwell on all the face of the earth, ordaining fore-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwelling (Acts 17:26).
The point is that all human beings are descendants of Adam; all need to build their thinking on God's Word and accept that they are sinners in need of salvation; all need to judge their behavior in every area, regardless of their culture, against the absolute standards of the Word of God; and all need to repent and receive the free gift of salvation.
We all need to treat every human being as our relative (we're of 'one blood'), and recognize that all of us are equal in value before our Creator God. What a difference it would make in this world if each person understood and adopted this biblical principle! Then each of us could proclaim with the apostle Paul:
For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call on Him (Rom. 10:12).

The King's Speech has 12 Oscar nominations, The Weinstein Company is considering ways to translate that ringing industry endorsement into more box-office. According to the Los Angeles Times, TWC is contemplating excising some of the coarse language that earned the film its R rating for a recut PG-13 version that would hit theaters in late February. TWC was upset by the MPAA's decision to stamp the film with an R, and though the film has grossed $58 million already, there is the feeling that the exclusionary rating has cost the film money. Director Tom Hooper has not yet publicly commented on the proposal to edit the film.Now that
'The King's Speech' to get PG-13 re-release?
Devin Faraci
It better not win an oscar if they do that… that wouldn't make the film as good as it was.
@Joe – yes, because the profanity was the heart of the film. idiot.
It enhanced the film greatly. It only took place in a single scene and showed how Bertie was warming up to his instructor and feeling less "regal" around him. I think it should be PG-13 as is.
The foul language is a really important plot point because it helps the King speak better. I hope they don't touch the film. It's perfect the way it is. This is not a "children's" film. It's for adults. Leave it the way it is, Harvey!!
Camille Toh
WHAT! and miss out on exploiting the public for every last dollar! Thats un American!
@ commentor – It actually DOES have a lot to do with the actual plot, so calling someone an idiot for that sort of comment is, well, idiotic….That being said, it should really be PG-13 as is anyway, but the ratings board is completely full of morons, as we've seen many times before. I don't see any benefit to recutting it to reduce the rating. High school kids are NOT going to see this movie anyway. Anyone who is interested in seeing the movie is able to get into an R-rated film anyway. Any box office benefit from getting it a PG-13 will be minimal and not worth censoring the work.
- Joe
- Devin Faraci
Unnecessary. No reason to do this except get more money. I say keep it as it as it was originally cut. (It's a very soft R-rating.)
Of course it's to get more money. That's what this article is about.
It's really dumb to believe that it has the same rating as Passion of the Christ.
If the movie didn't have the 8 or so F bombs, it probably could have been PG.
- Mike
- ger
While the single scene in the movie with all the cursing in it is hilarious, there is absolutely nothing else that's rated R about it. It would be a fairly easy movie to edit.
Considering the kinds of movies that get by on a PG-13 rating these days, leaving The King's Speech the way it is would still be more tame than a lot of others with the same rating.
no way that's easy to edit out. It's a plot point of huge deal, it helps the king immensely.
I really think they will be shooting themselves in foot if they do this.
It will get a lot of bad press, most of people that wanted to see the film will already have seen it, and it will seriously affect the way the Academy perceives the film's reputation, which could cost them the win for Best Picture.
I didn't mean easy in that it's not pertinent to the plot, I mean easy technically since it's only one scene.

I think the "R" was ridiculous…for F's sake…the F word wasn't used to denote F'ing! I'm sure some soccer mom on the MPAA board had to block her ears!
…now that I think about it, I don't even think I saw anybody kissing in this movie either!!! PG please!
I absolutely agree. Giving this picture an R Rating for language is absurd. I have seen plenty of trailers for PG13 movies that have much more objectionable content than this. South Park reruns on network TV have as much profanity.
The South Park episode where they count how many times the word $h-t is said is hilarious and completely makes an R rating for the King's Speech ridiculous.

I never pay any attention to ratings, so I was surprised to see that this movie got an R rating. The language in that one scene should not have been enough for it to get that rating, and the movie does have something important to say to young people who stutter. A PG-13 would have been fine.
- pnpearce
Bobby's Robot
Funny that a film about the importance of language and verbal communication would edit itself to make itself more "accessible".
Very well put.
- davey
Of course! That's what's keeping the 13-17 crowd away from a British historical drama about King George VI and speech pathology – the exclusionary rating!
Matthew M. F. Miller
Well, Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth have been hailed as the next Pattinson/Lautner although that Helena Bonham Carter can't hold a flame to Kristen Stewart.

Of course!!!
That was hilarious, and I thank you for that Shawn. You're absolutely right.
Best. Comment. Ever.
When I saw the Kings Speech, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person under 40 who was in the theatre.
Same. I am 20 and went with my mom, and I'm pretty sure I was the youngest person there by at least 20 years.
I, too, was likely the only person under 40 at the theatre for "The King's Speech". Though, I liked it and have told my friends to see it.
Really? at my showing I went with a group of friends and there was only one couple there in their 50s and the rest of the people looked like they were around out age (19-21).
I'm 14. I saw it. I loved it. I might be the youngest person to ever see this film.
I took my 9 & 11 yr olds. They were a bit bored by some sections, but overall they really enjoyed this movie. It is a great history lesson, and a wonderful story about overcoming difficulties. The R rating is absurd.
- Casey
I was thinking the same thing, Shawn! Hilarious!
Aamir learning rakpour? At this age? Its much easier to get a six-pack; believe me, Ive heard the stories surrounding rakpour and know its a very tough thing to learn. I would suggest a much younger person with a proper charisma; Hrithik will be hard to match up to, so only the best has to be chosen. I dunno why, but perhaps Ranbir could do it. You know, like how Vidya gave a complete makeover with The Dirty Picture, so Ranbir can do this role to come out of his chocolate-boy lover looks and characters.
- Alexey
Parents like to bring teens to well-made R-rated films. There were about 6 teenagers in attendance during my showing of The Fighter, though I realize it is a slightly different type of film.
- Matthew M. F. Miller
You know what would make the movie more money? Putting it in more theaters. It's only ONE theater where I live. But editing it is ridiculous. It takes away from the integrity of the film. It's about LANGUAGE, for pete's sake! Let the film speak, Harvey!
It hasn't even made it to my area yet. Not holding my breath either. Our theatres seem to be allergic to anything that's not a big action picture, a stupid gross-out movie, or the latest thing from Disney.
- orville
Just because of the F-word? I think I heard it maybe 3 or 4 times. Every other time it was mouthed.
But the movie is great. I really hope it gets best pic.
I'm hoping with the Oscar nominations, it expands wider. Here, in the Eau Claire, Wis., market, "King's Speech" debuts this Friday. I had to see it in Minneapolis two weeks ago. Likewise, I hope that "127 Hours" gets re-released now. It never opened wider than three theaters in the Twin Cities, and it's the only best picture film I haven't seen.
The cussing in this movie is necessary to the plot. Also, the only reason this movie is R is the cussing. Other movies get a PG-13 when there are mass murders. The rating system is a mystery to me.
, start a petition for this. It's erlxemety crucial for Bollywood, reputation of YRF and sanctity of the venerable Dhoom series to get this wrong choice Aamir out of Dhoom 3 and replace him with Hrithik/Akshay/Ranbir/SRK/Salman/John/Ranveer/Imran (feel free to add more suitable names) for the betterment of the series.I bet this initiative will work because it is bound to get great response as even fans of Ash/Kareena/Priyanka/Deepika/Bipasha/Anushka are kind of unhappy with Katrina's inclusion in the film [Ash/Bipasha are gold standard due to D2, Deepika's body is better, PC has action image yada yada yada].Harish (!) Sahil lead the way! Only you guys can stop this catastrophe, save YRF and bring relief to fans of Dhoom series. It's corers of money expectations of corers of fans at stake YRF will have to bow down to popular demand!
- Jon
NO F-ing way. Bertie's cursing without a stutter was one of the most powerful scenes in the film. Don't cut a word. The MPAA is f-ed up in their ratings system. Just incomprehensible that this gem gets an R due to a few curse words. Nice to know torture porn is more acceptable than foul language.
Well, the fact that it got an R in the first place is ludicrous, but editing it for PG-13 is not going to make that much of a difference. If someone aged between 13-16 really wanted to see this movie, I'm sure they could convince their parent to take them. Since this movie is aimed more at an older audience, I don't see how knocking it down to a PG-13 would make that much of a difference.
Blech…I used "make that much of a difference twice." I should have checked before posting.
- Mary
I guess I'm the only one but I think this is good. With these changes, now this interesting historical drama can be shared by a family or played in classrooms. And don't you think this would be most insprational to young people struggling with speech impediments.
Your not the only one. Why do filmmamkers think it is necessary to tell a fascinating story and insist that they include foul language to imply a story's maturity? Not all of us want to bombarded by the F-bomb when we pay our hard earned money to see a great story.
Agreed. I don't think the profanity in the film was absolutely necessary to the story and think that a historical movie being accessible to more audiences is a good thing.
@ jfm
The viewers are hardly "bombarded" by the F-bomb in this movie. As pointed out above, it's actually integral to the plot as helping him to overcome his stammering.
They aren't trying to imply a story's maturity. That is ridiculous. The cursing in this movie is in a very specific scene for a specific cause. It illustrates the main character's speech problem and is instrumental in helping him overcome this problem
I think that it would be a great idea as well… I really do not understand why people are so upset that the creators decide edit out the language to make the film more accessible to other people who WOULD NOT see it unless the language was removed or changed? It isn't like you no longer will have your precious "R"-cut. Everyone complaining about an edit to this movie is selfish…
This reminds me of the uproar over a single publisher removing the "n" word from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn…
Ok, I'm going to assume that those people commenting in favor of the edits haven't seen the movie, otherwise they would be educated on the matter enough to know that film wasn't using profanity just for the sake of profane.
and @Mike – if you don't understand why there was an uproar over removing the "n" word from Huckleberry Finn, then you clearly didn't understand the point of that story. When I teach my students the history of Germany I'll just leave out everything about Nazism because it's just too ugly a time. Hope there isn't an uproar!
- Jenn
Being that it is historically inaccurate, I wouldn't imagine that playing it in classrooms would be wise. In terms of cursing, I'm sick of hearing it in general (especially from kids), but I understand the context here. A lack of intelligence, originality and class are often displayed by the continued use of profanity by a person, and in a society in general.
- jfm
The King's Speech rated R? WTF… Up here in Canada depending on the province it is either PG (not for children under 10) or G (general).
Yeah, it's PG here. I don't understand how a bit of swearing constitutes an R rating…
Apparently the ratings board in Canada is much less afraid of a few swear words than in the US. Trust me, movies here have gotten an R rating for a single use of the F word, regardless of context.
Good day! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I'd firegud I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!

I work at a movie theatre and kids are trying to sneak into No String Attached, not Kings Speech. Most kids are asking what that movies even about and after I explain and not mention they cant get in they laugh and say never mind.

For Immediate Release
April 20, 2010
Contact: Matthew Benson
Director of Communications
602-350-2834 - mobile
Twitter: @therealAZsos
Newly-discovered documents related to the infamous Gunfight at OK Corral will be handed over to Secretary of State Ken Bennett during a ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at the State Capitol .
The documents are part of the original 1881 coroner's inquest, and include 36 pages of handwritten court-reporter testimony from eyewitnesses to the Tombstone showdown that left 3 men dead and featured Wild West figures like Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Secretary Bennett will accept the historic records and transfer them to State Archives, which will have them restored and preserved. The documents will be handed over during a ceremony on the Senate lawn at the State Capitol , 1700 W. Washington.
"I'm thrilled that local officials have chosen to entrust the state with these important historic documents," Secretary Bennett said. "State Archives now can ensure that they are restored and protected for future generations of Arizonans to enjoy."
The OK Corral ceremony will serve as a highlight for the 14 th annual Arizona Library Legislative Day, an opportunity to celebrate the important role that libraries play in our local communities. Library advocates will be at the Capitol beginning at 9 a.m., and will meet with legislators and rally on the Capitol lawn to communicate the critical needs that libraries serve. That includes acting as a portal to information, both online and in print, as well as assisting with the archival of state records.
The newly-uncovered OK Corral documents were found March 31 as a pair of Cochise County Superior Court clerks were re-organizing exhibits in an old jail storage space at the courthouse in Bisbee. They noticed a box marked "Juvenile," and saw some manila envelopes marked "Keep." The date: 1881. Inspecting closer, they saw that the documents were quite old and brought them to a supervisor.
Cochise County could have chosen to retain possession of the papers, but Superior Court Clerk Denise Lundin opted to have them transferred to Arizona State Archives, in Phoenix .
"We are record-keepers, not archivists," she said. "We have neither the resources nor the expertise to properly handle these important and valuable documents. They are bigger than Cochise County , and the state of Arizona should have custody as they are part of our state's heritage."
The documents will be housed at the Polly Rosenbaum Archives building, where state-of-the-art temperature and humidity controls will help ensure their preservation for posterity.
For all media questions, or to schedule an interview with Secretary Bennett, contact Matthew Benson, director of communications, at (602) 350-2834.

1. Bad news out of the way. Selciclib failed in the APPRAISE trial and will no longer weigh on the share price.
2. Major up/down catalysts approaching. The SEAMLESS phase III trial of sapacitabine in elderly AML began in January and will determine the future of the company, or lack thereof. Topline data for sapacitabine in NSCLC is also expected later this year.
3. Financially stable through catalysts. About 35M in cash reserves after today's financing and a burn rate of about 5M/quarter.
4. New 18 month low today.
Cyclacel could certainly go lower since catalysts are still many months if not more than a year away. But I'll take my CAPS position here as this could become a GBMB play if it continues to drop below 1.
Bought 10000 shares today at 1.18 for the GBMB account.
Any new concern with this stock, or are we just seeing irrational dumping due to the delisting threat?
The burn rate now seems to be much higher than $5M / quarter.
Sold all shares today at 7.68 (interim 7:1 reverse split) for a $850 GBMB loss. Disappointing, but considering I was down more than $7000 at one point I'm pleased.

Asheville Puppetry Alliance presents The Big Bad Little Red Pig Show
October 12 - 11:00 AM Public Show
Little Red is ridin' into your "hood" and the Big Bad Wolf is working double-time in this twisted, tangle of tales performed with puppets. Two childhood favorites have been cleverly "squished" together with just one Big Bad Wolf to share in all the hilarious fun! We huffed and puffed new life into this production through the use of rod puppets, hand puppets, clever music and an original script.
Tickets: School Show $8 or $6 for 10 or more people, Public Show $8
