LJ International Inc. Announces Extraordinary General Meeting Of Shareholders
HONG KONG, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- LJ International Inc. ("LJI" or the "Company"; NASDAQ: JADE), a foreign private issuer incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a leading colored gemstone and diamond jeweler with retail and wholesale businesses, today announced that it has called an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "EGM"), to be held at 10:00 a.m. on July 9, 2013 ( Shenzhen time). The meeting will be held at the Company's Shenzhen office, 10th Floor, Block 18, Free Trade Zone, Shatoujiao, Shenzhen, People's Republic of China, to consider and vote on the proposal to approve the previously announced agreement and plan of merger dated March 22, 2013, among Flora Bloom Holdings, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Parent"), Flora Fragrance Holdings Limited, a business company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by Parent ("Merger Sub"), and the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). If completed, the Merger would result in the Company becoming a privately-held company and its shares would no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company's Board of Directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of an independent committee formed by the Board of Directors, approved the Merger Agreement and the merger contemplated in the Merger Agreement and resolved to recommend that the Company's shareholders vote to approve and authorize the Merger Agreement and the merger.
Shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 28, 2013 will be entitled to vote at the EGM. Additional information regarding the EGM and the Merger Agreement can be found in the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, and the proxy statement attached as Exhibit (a)-(1) thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which can be obtained from the SEC's website ( http://www.sec.gov).
Investors and shareholders are urged to read carefully and in their entirety these materials and other materials filed with or furnished to the SEC, as they contain important information about the Company, the proposed merger and related matters.

This work describes a method to obtain surface microtopography of a material by scanning its capacitance. Capacitance was measured by the three terminal method with the core of a coaxial cable used as the measuring probe while the shielding wire acted as the guard electrode to eliminate the fringing field effect. From our results, we found that good image resolution is best obtained if the medium used has a high dielectric constant than the sample.

Young people suffers from confusions every day because of the provisions. They always doubt in these provisions and compare between their principles and fatwas in our contemporary reality. Because of the spread fatwas that increase the confusion in the absence of the convincing analogy related to the modernized matters, the young people distracted between depending on the first provisions and constants that differ according to time and place, or depending on the fatwas that causes contradicts and conflicts. After all we have to adhere to modernity of Islam and wise analogy through the program presented by the honorable Sheikh Mohammed Al Dodo. Through the episodes, he will guest Anwar Eloseri who will discuss some educational and religious matters that enlighten the minds of young people in the age that witnesses materiality overcoming spirituality.

Stock Futures Fall on Signs of Slowing Global Growth
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were lower Thursday after lackluster Chinese and eurozone data added to worries that global economic growth was stalling.
In addition, the initial jobless claims data in the U.S. came in worse than expected.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 53 points, or 54.96 points below fair value, at 13,444. Futures for the S&P 500 were down 6.49 points, or 7.49 points below fair value, at 1446. Futures for the Nasdaq were down 9.50 points, or 13.33 points below fair value, at 2844.
"Another night goes by and so it seems we have another slide in the fortunes of major global economies," commented Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak."The risk landscape is firmly negative this morning," said Christopher Vecchio, currency analyst at DailyFX. The HSBC Flash China manufacturing purchasing managers' index showed manufacturing in China shrank for the 11th straight month in September, with the headline reading remaining below the 50 mark between contraction and expansion. The headline print rose to 47.8 from 47.6 in August. Meanwhile, Markit Economics said that the eurozone composite PMI, which includes data points on both the manufacturing and services sectors, declined to 45.9 from 46.3 in August, the lowest level since June 2009. A small bright spot was Germany, where manufacturing, though still indicating contraction, came in at its highest level since March. The Spanish Treasury was able to sell €4.8 billion ($6.2 billion) of three- and 10-year bonds amid strong investor demand, even with the nation's bailout plans remaining unclear. The FTSE in London was slipping 0.60% and the DAX in Germany was lower by 0.46%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index closed down by 1.20% and the Nikkei in Japan finished declined 1.57% on Thursday. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was rising 11/32, diluting the yield to 1.744%. The greenback was gaining 0.59%, according to the dollar index. November crude oil futures were slipping 73 cents to $91.57 a barrel as Saudi Arabia pledged more oil. December gold futures were slumping $11.10 at $1,760.60. The Labor Department reported Thursday that initial jobless claims for the week ended Sept. 15 fell 3,000 to 382,000, from the previous week's upwardly revised figure of 385,000. Economists were expecting a level of 375,000. The four-week moving average was 377,750, an increase of 2,000 from the previous week's revised average of 375,750. Continuing claims during the week ended Sept. 8 were 3.272 million, a decrease of 32,000 from the preceding week's upwardly revised level of 3.304 million. The expected level was 3.293 million. The Markit flash U.S. manufacturing PMI is expected at 9 a.m. At 10 a.m., the Philadelphia Fed Index, according to economists, might show a reading of -4 for September following a print of -7.1 a month earlier. At the same time, the Conference Board's Leading Economic Indicators Index for August might be unchanged after ticking up 0.4% the previous month, economists predicted. In corporate news, Bank of America (BAC) has set a target of cutting 16,000 jobs by the end of 2012 as it accelerates a broad cost-cutting plan, The Wall Street Journal reported. The job cuts were outlined in a document given to top management, and are part of a larger effort to retool the bank into a leaner and more focused enterprise amid an environment of declining revenue. Oracle (ORCL) is expected to report its fiscal first-quarter results after Thursday's closing bell and analysts expect the software maker to post a profit of 53 cents a share in the August-ended period on revenue of $8.42 billion. Adobe Systems (ADBE), the publishing and design software developer, posted an in-line profit Wednesday for its fiscal third quarter but revenue of $1.081 billion was below the consensus view of $1.103 billion. For its fourth quarter ending in November, Adobe forecast non-GAAP earnings of 53 cents to 58 cents a share, far short of the average analysts' view for a profit of 67 cents a share. Nike (NKE) , the sporting goods maker, announced Wednesday an $8 billion, four-year program to buy back shares of its class B common stock. Bed, Bath & Beyond (BBBY), the home products retailer, missed Wall Street's second-quarter earnings expectations in its report issued Wednesday.

100 places to eat like a local
Cloudland Farm Table Dining
The Emmons Family has owned the land for generations,and raise some of the best angus beef I have tasted in 30 years. It reminds me of the meat from Montana, my Grandfather would send us each year.
Cathy and Bill Emmons have built a new dining hall, and Chef Nick selects the meat he will serve, they also sell meat at their property store. He then gathers all the ingredients from local farms. Cheese, vegetables, honey and flours.
He creates wonderful meals that shine with the best tasting ingredients. Recently, he served balsamic braised short ribs, mashed potatoes and roasted root vegetables. For dessert we savored the panna cotta with thyme infused honey.
Family style dinners are served on Thursday nights, and plated dinners are served on Saturday.
The New Year's Day brunch is not to be missed! Come hungry and you will leave full, with plenty of lushes leftovers. You need a spare table for all the food, and it is all delicious!
What I love about this dining experience is you are at the farm. Cathy runs the dining room, and manages the farm with her husband Bill. They are friendly, passionate and dedicated to a farming way of life. The food is pure and homemade, with all the flavor a New York top chef would appreciate. Chef Nick is creative and works hard to make the dishes balanced and delicious.
Of all the restaurants in the world, Cloudland Farm is one I wish I could take with me. Farm to table and true to its roots in Woodstock Vermont.

"Family loves this cole slaw - including my husband and daughter who usually don't like slaw! Thanks for posting their recipe = and especially one that doesn't have dairy for allergic family members!"
"Great sugar cookies, soooo easy you can whip them up with the kids quickly. I read the reviews and added more sugar and flattened with a glass dipped in sugar. Double the recipe = they go quickly!"
"So easy and a real family favorite! I used sake instead of the marsala because it was what I had on hand - believe it or not it was great."
"What a great cooking alternative for cauliflower! I have a daughter with a dairy allergy, so we are a non-cheese sauce family - the usual preferred method to eat cauliflower it seems. This roasted cauliflower was tasty and sweet. My cooking time was a little less, maybe I made my pieces smaller? So easy to make, definitely will make it again"
"The whole family loved the pork chops, even my daughter who is not a great fan of pork. I took another reviewer's advice and marinated them for an hour or so - they had great flavor - and not that grocery-store barbecue sauce taste. We will make these again!"
"The whole family loved this recipe! Tastes like your old favorite - but better!"


text: There's been much talk about the neo-soul movement these past few years, but journeyman singer-guitarist -- keyboard player Neville has seldom been mentioned. More's the pity, because the dude should rightfully be hailed as one of the genre's prime movers. Maybe ''Scrape,'' a potent blend of funky foot stompers and organically crafted R&B ballads, will set the record straight. Listen carefully and you may even hear a couple of Neville's heavy friends (and ex-employers) in the mix -- namely Bonnie Raitt and Keith Richards.

Silgan Announces Commencement Of Tender Offer To Purchase Up To $250 Million Of Stock And Authorization For Additional Stock Repurchases
Silgan Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:SLGN), a leading supplier of rigid packaging for consumer goods products, today announced that it has commenced a "modified Dutch Auction" tender offer to purchase up to $250 million of its common stock. The tender offer begins today.
In addition, Silgan announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $100 million of the Company's common stock, resulting in an aggregate outstanding authorization for stock repurchases of $350.1 million, a portion of which will be utilized in the tender offer. This authorization is effective through December 31, 2014.
"This tender offer is yet another example of our strong commitment to delivering shareholder returns," commented Bob Lewis, Executive Vice President and CFO. "Given the stable cash flow generation of our businesses, a relatively low debt leverage level and the potential changes in tax laws, we believe a return of capital in the form of a share repurchase is appropriate. This return of capital will bring our net debt leverage in line with our targeted range, while still allowing us to pursue other strategic initiatives," concluded Mr. Lewis.
Under the terms of the tender offer, Silgan stockholders will have the opportunity to tender some or all of their shares at a price within a range of $40.75 to $45.25 per share. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders, Silgan will determine the lowest per share price within the range that will enable it to buy $250 million in shares, or such lesser number of shares that are properly tendered. All shares accepted for payment will be purchased at the same price, regardless of whether a stockholder tendered such shares at a lower price within the range. At the minimum price of $40.75 per share, Silgan would repurchase a maximum of 6,134,969 shares, which represents approximately 8.9% of Silgan's currently outstanding common stock. The high end of the price range for the tender offer represents approximately a 9.5% premium to the closing price per share of $41.34 for Silgan's common stock on November 16, 2012. Silgan expects to fund this repurchase from available cash on hand.

My paladin's armory link:
Ashlin (sentinels server - armory is being weird!)
So I have hit the point with my little healadin where it's time to buckle down and make things solid. Up to now I've been picking up what I can wherever I can get in on a PuG or two. I've found I enjoy the healing role so much that I actually want to play her seriously rather than as a fill in (as she was originally created for). I've done ICC10 (Marrowgar only) as MT heals twice and had no problems with my FoL style - though I'm pretty sure I was getting more than a little help from the raid healer. My one try in an ICC25 slapped me home with some reality.
Since her incarnation I had planned on eventually going with a HL play style but now I'm finding myself stuck on how to fix her gear to support it.
Advice is needed!
What am I looking for? Where am I looking to go?
I will be respeccing 51/0/20.
I know I need to fix her main weapon ASAP. I plan on changing her gems out for INT stacking (-meta req).
I'm hoping to pick up on some ToC10s and 25s for Solace and Vigilant Ward but beyond that I'm a little lost on where else to go or how to boost my haste enough to make healing as HL viable.
So if this was *your* pally, tell me where would you start to fix things and go from there!
Much appreciated!

Jessica Rene Plant and Chance Justin Wilhelm Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula, on April 28, 2011, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, JESSICA RENE PLANT, age 22, and CHANCE JUSTIN WILHELM, age 26, residents of Butte appeared for sentencing.
PLANT was sentenced to a term of:
Prison: 36 months
Special Assessment: $100
Supervised Release: 5 years
WILHELM was sentenced to a term of:
Prison: 151 months
Special Assessment: $100
Supervised Release: 10 years
They were sentenced in connection with their guilty pleas to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Racicot, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, the Butte-Silver Bow Law Enforcement Agency, and the Southwest Montana Drug Task Force began investigating a methamphetamine-trafficking organization in the Butte area in 2008. The organization is responsible for distributing approximately 20 pounds of methamphetamine in Silver Bow, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, and Gallatin Counties.
PLANT's involvement in the conspiracy resulted from her relationship with Alex Fetters, who was the point of contact for the source of supply of methamphetamine in Arizona. PLANT lived with Fetters in Arizona during the conspiracy and shipped packages of methamphetamine to Anthony and Corrina Kerner in Butte. PLANT also traveled to and from Montana, usually with Fetters but on one occasion without him. She transported drugs from Arizona to Butte and money from Butte back to Arizona.
After Fetters was arrested in Arizona in January 2010, PLANT and Fetters attempted to convince law enforcement that Fetters could arrange to purchase a sizeable quantity of methamphetamine if he were released from custody. PLANT secured a cell phone with an Oregon area code and exchanged text messages with Fetters pretending to be a source of supply in that state. When the DEA and HSI agents discovered that the drug deal was a ruse and that PLANT was involved, they interviewed her over the telephone. During the interview she admitted that the drug deal was not legitimate and also admitted that she had shipped packages of methamphetamine from Arizona to Butte during the conspiracy. The government obtained documents from UPS and from Allegiant Airlines that corroborate both PLANT's admissions about her criminal conduct and the statements of her co-conspirators.
WILHELM's involvement in the conspiracy took place in both Arizona and Montana. In Arizona, WILHELM lived for a time with PLANT and Fetters, who was the point of contact for the source of supply of methamphetamine. WILHELM occasionally assisted Fetters in the transportation of methamphetamine from Arizona to Butte. When Fetters was arrested in Arizona in January 2010, WILHELM's Social Security card was seized from Fetters' residence.
In Butte, WILHELM operated as a street-level dealer. He received methamphetamine from Anthony Kerner and distributed the drugs in and around Butte. He also occasionally received packages of meth from Fetters in Arizona that were specifically designated for him.
WILHELM was implicated in the conspiracy by several of his co-conspirators and was interviewed twice by law enforcement officers. During his interviews, he admitted that he was involved with Fetters, Kerner, and others, corroborated many of the aspects of the operation that previously had been described to law enforcement, and acknowledged that the distribution of more than 500 grams of methamphetamine was reasonably foreseeable to him and within the scope of his agreement with the co-conspirators.
Alex Fetters, Anthony Kerner and Corrina Kerner pled guilty to federal charges and have been sentenced.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that they will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, they do have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between U.S. Homeland Security Investigations and the Butte-Silver Bow Law Enforcement Agency.

Henry VI, Part 3 (Octavo 1, 1595)
Enter Edward and Richard, with drum
and Souldiers.
653Edw. After this dangerous fight and haplesse warre,
660How doth my noble brother Richard fare?
661Rich. I cannot ioy vntil I be resolu'de,
662Where our right valiant father is become.
663How often did I see him beare himselfe,
666As doth a lion midst a heard of neat,
671So fled his enemies our valiant father,
672Me thinkes tis pride enough to be his sonne.
Three sunnes appeare in the aire.
677Edw. Loe how the morning opes her golden gates,
And takes her farewell of the glorious sun,
Dasell mine eies or doe I see three suns?
678Rich. Three glorious suns, not seperated by a racking
679Cloud, but seuered in a pale cleere shining skie.
681See, see, they ioine, embrace, and seeme to kisse,
682As if they vowde some league inuiolate:
683Now are they but one lampe, one light, one sun,
684In this the heauens doth figure some euent.
687Edw. I thinke it cites vs brother to the field,
688That we the sonnes of braue Plantagenet,
689Alreadie each one shining by his meed,
690May ioine in one and ouerpeere the world,
691As this the earth, and therefore hence forward,
693Ile beare vpon my Target, three faire shining suns.
But what art thou? that lookest so heauilie?
700Mes. Oh one that was a wofull looker on,
701When as the noble Duke of Yorke was slaine.
703Edw. O speake no more, for I can heare no more.
705Rich. Tell on thy tale, for I will heare it all.
706Mes. When as the noble Duke was put to flight,
714And then pursu'de by Clifford and the Queene,
715And manie souldiers moe, who all at once
Let driue at him and forst the Duke to yeeld:
And then they set him on a molehill there,
And crownd the gratious Duke in high despite,
716Who then with teares began to waile his fall.
717The ruthlesse Queene perceiuing he did weepe,
Gaue him a handkercher to wipe his eies,
718Dipt in the bloud of sweet young Rutland
719By rough Clifford slain: who weeping tooke it vp.
720Then through his brest they thrust their bloudy swordes,
721Who like a lambe fell at the butchers feete.
Then on the gates of Yorke they set his head,
722And there it doth remaine the piteous spectacle
723That ere mine eies beheld.
724Edw. Sweet Duke of Yorke our prop to leane vpon,
725Now thou art gone there is no hope for vs:
730Now my soules pallace is become a prison.
731Oh would she breake from compasse of my breast,
733For neuer shall I haue more ioie.
735Rich. I cannot weepe, for all my breasts moisture
736Scarse serues to quench my furnace burning hart:
737I cannot ioie till this white rose be dide,
738Euen in the hart bloud of the house of Lancaster.
743Richard, I bare thy name, and Ile reuenge thy death,
744Or die my selfe in seeking of reuenge.
745Edw. His name that valiant Duke hath left with thee,
746His chaire and Dukedome that remaines for me.
747Rich. Nay, if thou be that princely Eagles bird,
748Shew thy descent by gazing gainst the sunne.
749For chaire, and dukedome, Throne and kingdome saie:
750For either that is thine, or else thou wert not his?
Enter the Earle of Warwike, Montague, with
drum, ancient, and souldiers.
753War. How now faire Lords: what fare? what
754newes abroad?
755Rich. Ah Warwike? should we report the balefull
756Newes, and at each words deliuerance stab poinyardes
757In our flesh till all were told, the words would adde
758More anguish then the wounds.
759Ah valiant Lord the Duke of Yorke is slaine.
760Edw. Ah Warwike Warwike, that Plantagenet,
761Which held thee deere: I, euen as his soules redemption,
762Is by the sterne L. Clifford, done to death.
763War. Ten daies a go I drownd those newes in teares.
764And now to adde more measure to your woes,
765I come to tell you things since then befalne.
766After the bloudie fraie at Wakefield fought,
767Where your braue father breath'd his latest gaspe,
768Tidings as swiflie as the post could runne,
769Was brought me of your losse, and his departure.
770I then in London keeper of the King,
771Mustred my souldiers, gathered flockes of friends,
And verie vvell appointed as I thought,
772Marcht to saint Albons to entercept the Queene,
773Bearing the King in my behalfe along,
774For by my scoutes I was aduertised,
775That she was comming, with a full intent
776To dash your late decree in parliament,
777Touching king Henries heires and your succession.
778Short tale to make, we at Saint Albons met,
779Our battels ioinde, and both sides fiercelie fought,
780But whether twas the coldnesse of the king,
781He lookt full gentlie on his warlike Queene,
782That robde my souldiers of their heated spleene.
783Or whether twas report of his successe,
784Or more then common feare of Cliffords rigor,
785Who thunders to his captaines bloud and death,
786I cannot tell. But to conclude with truth,
787Their weapons like to lightnings went and came.
788Our souldiers like the night Owles lasie flight,
789Or like an idle thresher with a flaile,
790Fel gentlie downe as if they smote their friends.
791I cheerd them vp with iustice of the cause,
792With promise of hie paie and great rewardes,
793But all in vaine, they had no harts to fight,
794Nor we in them no hope to win the daie,
795So that We fled. The king vnto the Queene,
796Lord George your brother, Norffolke, and my selfe,
797In hast, post hast, are come to ioine with you,
798For in the marches here we heard you were,
799Making another head to fight againe.
800Edw. Thankes gentle Warwike.
801How farre hence is the Duke with his power?
And when came George from Burgundie to England?
802War. Some fiue miles off the Duke is with his power,
803But as for your brother he was latelie sent
804From your kind Aunt, Duches of Burgundie,
805With aide of souldiers gainst this needfull warre.
806Rich. Twas ods belike, when valiant Warwike fled.
807Oft haue I heard thy praises in pursute,
808But nere till now thy scandall of retire.
809War. Nor now my scandall Richard dost thou heare,
810For thou shalt know that this right hand of mine,
811Can plucke the Diadem from faint Henries head,
812And wring the awefull scepter from his fist:
813Were he as famous and as bold in warre,
814As he is famde for mildnesse, peace and praier.
815Rich. I know it well Lord Warwike blame me not,
816Twas loue I bare thy glories made me speake.
817But in this troublous time, whats to be done?
818Shall we go throw away our coates of steele,
819And clad our bodies in blacke mourning gownes,
820Numbring our Auemaries with our beades?
821Or shall we on the helmets of our foes,
822Tell our deuotion with reuengefull armes?
823If for the last saie I, and to it Lords.
824War. Why therefore Warwike came to find you out,
825And therefore comes my brother Montague.
826Attend me Lords, the proud insulting Queene,
827With Clifford and the haught Northumberland,
828And of their feather manie mo proud birdes,
829Haue wrought the easie melting king like waxe.
830He sware consent to your succession,
831His oath inrolled in the Parliament.
832But now to London all the crew are gone,
833To frustrate his oath or what besides
834May make against the house of Lancaster.
835Their power I gesse them fifty thousand strong.
836Now if the helpe of Norffolke and my selfe,
837Can but amount to 48. thousand,
838With all the friendes that thou braue earle of March,
839Among the louing Welshmen canst procure,
840Why via, To London will we march amaine,
841And once againe bestride our foming steedes,
842And once againe crie charge vpon the foe,
843But neuer once againe turne backe and flie.
844Rich. I, now me thinkes I heare great Warwike speake:
845Nere maie he liue to see a sunshine daie,
846That cries retire, when Warwike bids him stay.
847Edw. Lord Warwike, on thy shoulder will I leane,
848And when thou faints, must Edward fall:
849Which perill heauen forefend.
850War. No longer Earle of March, but Duke of Yorke,
851The next degree, is Englands royall king:
852And king of England shalt thou be proclaimde,
853In euery burrough as we passe along:
854And he that casts not vp his cap for ioie,
855Shall for the offence make forfeit of his head.
856King Edward, valiant Richard, Montague,
857Stay we no longer dreaming of renowne,
858But forward to effect these resolutions.
Enter a Messenger.
865Mes. The Duke of Norffolke sends you word by me,
866The Queene is comming with a puissant power,
867And craues your companie for speedie councell.
868War. Why then it sorts braue Lordes. Lets march a-
Exeunt Omnes.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The woman believed to be involved in last month's murder of a convenience store owner won't be going to trial just yet.
Del Victoria Cavazos was arraigned this morning. She pleaded not guilty to charges of Tampering with Evidence. Just as the judge set her trial date, District Attorney Mark Skurka asked him to wait until the other two men in this case are indicted. The judge agreed.
Cavazos, Arturo Navarro and Daniel Garcia were arrested last month after 59-year old Ben Mustafa was shot and killed at his store on Ayers and Brownlee. Investigators say Daniel Garcia said he shot Mustafa with an assault rifle and Navarro admitted to being involved. Cavazos admitted she was the getaway driver.
All remain in the Nueces County Jail.

It's Landfill Fight Time Again in East Bexar County
Commissioner Tommy Adkisson
Date Unknown
One of the more interesting films I have seen in my life is the Discovery Channel film of zebras crossing alligator infested rivers in Africa. What is interesting is that it is every zebra for itself. Alligators attack members of the herd and other zebras not under attack do nothing. The victim zebras are left to fend for themselves while other members of the herd scurry across the river to save their own hide.
Such is the case with the tough but necessary fight against BFI's request to the Texas Natural Resource and Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for its permission to expand its landfill. Not an unfamiliar experience for me, I have fought every one of these landfills and expansions thereof, with all I could muster. And so I believe I must put my shoulder to the wheel of opposition to the current request for an expansion permit.
Of course, I cannot honestly lend my support to an effort without promoting individual responsibility for waste generation/reduction. So, you should know that I firmly believe in personal recycling, as do many of you. I am delighted with the Donahue Recycling Dumpsters at local schools and churches. My cardboard goes there. The other recyclables such as plastics, glass bottles and cans to the City of San Antonio curbside recycling program.
The BFI application to the TNRCC requests that the life of the landfill be extended to 57 years and to expand its land area from 265 acres to 929 acres. BFI wants to go over 50 feet higher than the current permit to just over 800 feet! To add insult to injury, the BFI application for an expansion of its East Bexar County landfill includes a request that it be allowed to landfill the solid waste from 37 different counties from outside Bexar County!
With all of the opposition that generates each time we fight a landfill, one would think each and every one of us would be recycling, but we do not. One would think that the landfillers, the pertinent governmental entities or even some member of the community would be able to craft a plan to end the need to decide where we will place a landfill every ten to fifteen years. We must not end up in a landfill crisis due to no or poor planning. And, we must not use our limited urban county land area for more landfills.
Allow me to survey some of the discoveries I have made in the direction of advancing local recycling with a little help from others outside our community. With the help of the Internet, I have discovered a great resource in the Environmental Protection Agency Website, EPA, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission Website and locally, we have the Alamo Area Council of Governments Solid Waste Advisory Committee and the Corporate Recycling Council, just for starters. USAA has virtually written the book on how to effect a great corporate recycling program!
According to the TNRCC, Texas recycles 26-35% of its recyclables. The country's average varies from 40%.
This community has previously debated the implementation of a materials recovery facility or MRF.
I have requested Senator Madla to request the new Texas A & M at Palo Alto to offer a course of study in resource recovery and market applications for recycled products so that we may learn about solutions to our "trash crisis".

Duomo: Osteria dell'AgnoloBorgo S. Lorenzo, 24r , Phone: 055 211326
Closing day: open every day
Reviewed by: Russ Morisi from NY, review #3854
When: 2011
Osteria dell'Agnolo is a friendly full service restaurant open everyday from noon until late evening. Multi-lingual waiters and waitresses are happy to help!
Directions: In the vicinity of the Duomo
I have been traveling to Florence for over 10 years at least once a year and sometimes twice. Osteria dell'Agnolo is where I go most of the time for a quick pizza or a full meal.
Osteria dell'Agnolo is conveniently located in the historic center of Florence right near the Duomo. The osteria, which translates to Inn, is a warm and welcoming place, good for couples, families and even large parties. You may sit at a counter or a table upstairs or downstairs; there's plenty of room. I'm always seated immediately when I arrive, they have menus in many languages and the waitresses will be happy to explain every dish to you. The food varies from antipasto to your choice of any kind of pizza from a wood fired oven, to the most tantalizing Italian specialties, but the Tuscan dishes are excellent. There is a full service bar as well as a fine selection of wines, I've never been disappointed by the wine. They also have a fine selection of desserts. Make Osteria dell'Agnolo part of your itinerary and say hello from me!

EPS graphics with PDF(La)TeX
One issue a lot of people find confusing with (La)TeX is the rules about which types of graphic files work with which engines. EPS files are fine when going via the DVI route, but do not work with direct PDF creation. The solution is to turn the EPS files in PDFs, and the problem goes away. However, there is then the question of how to do the conversion.
For most documents, having to convert every file by hand is not a sensible choice. The next nearest thing is the epstopdf package, which will do the same thing but from within a LaTeX run. However, it needs
\write18 enabled, and this is not always desirable. More importantly, a lot of people who struggle with the graphics problem do not know how to turn on
\write18 anyway. A good way around has been added to the latest version of TeX Live, which is currently in the final testing stages. TeX Live 2009 has some restricted
\write18 functions enabled as standard, and also has a version of epstopdf "built in". The result is that EPS files are automatically converted to PDF files, in a transparent manner. Of course, this only happens if the PDF does not also exist! At the moment, this feature is not in MiKTeX 2.8, so it is one reason to favour TeX Live 2009 even on Windows.
There are places where epstopdf will not help: for example, when using psfrag or pstricks. There, the best solution will either be auto-pst-pdf or pstool. Both are written by Will Robertson, and both need
\write18 enabled to work. pstool is more efficient (it only re-creates graphics as needed), but for some cases on auto-pst-pdt will work. Will has documented both packages very well, so the best way to learn about them is to have a read of the documentation.

Cool. Will upgrade to Texlive 2009 once it's released!
According to the MiKTeX 2.8 release notes it has also \wite18 partially enabled.

This week PRNewser is glad to bring you a something a little…different.
Our first five-part series will deal with the PR and communications aspects of an industry often underrepresented at trade shows and conferences: The business of adult entertainment, colloquially known as erotica, smut, blue movies, or just plain porn.
Brian Gross is a consummate professional who plays many roles: founder and CEO of BSG PR, former choirboy with nary a tattoo in sight, dedicated heavy metal enthusiast…and one of the top publicists in the world of X-rated entertainment.
Today and tomorrow we'll bring you some of Brian's insights on working as a representative in one of the world's more colorful businesses. Then we will present a three-part interview with one of his top clients—a self-made woman who describes in depth the route she took from college English major to the top of the porn pyramid, playing the roles of performer, producer, director, and CEO while remaking a big corner of the industry in her own image.
Brian Gross didn't just wake up one day and decide to pursue a career in the adult film industry. It all started when he got what we can accurately describe as a dream gig for any red-blooded American boy—promoting rock and roll bands. In his own words:
"I literally started from the ground up. I took an internship with this incredible publicity department at Def American Records when I was 17 years old–and I still have relationships with many of the people I met there today. (Ed. Note the importance of connections.) That led to a job working with the Lollapalooza tour, which led to another job," and Brian was off and running, representing some of the biggest names in rock.
After taking a short-lived stab at the college life, Brian eventually landed at Elektra Records, where he specialized in publicizing west coast tours by high school heroes like Metallica and Pantera. In the middle of this demanding gig, Brian's career took a bit of a left turn:
"I got a call from a good friend of mine who was the publicist at Vivid Entertainment, and he was moving to work on the Internet division. I was also close to the brother of the head of the company, and they both recommended me. I was 23 at the time, and when approached with the opportunity to be the head of PR and marketing for the largest adult entertainment company, I only had one question: Why not?"
The move from rock to porn felt natural—and the difference between the industries wasn't so great, either.
"At its core, it's all entertainment. To a certain extent, the reality is this: rock star, porn star, what's the difference? Both are adored–in some of the same crowds."

One of the few effective government programs to support innovation is at risk. The language authorizing the Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) program is set to expire on March 20, and so far, disputes have hampered a reauthorization resolution. What is at stake? Millions of jobs and technological innovations that contribute to national defense, the environment, and health care, among many other areas.
The $787 billion economic stimulus package includes large investments in innovation in areas such as energy, health IT, and broadband. Developing these new technologies will be scientists and engineers, but here's a reality check: we don't have enough of them. Although increasing the number of U.S. scientists and engineers is a must, in the shorter term, we need a quicker fix: more high-skilled immigration.
Last week, I argued in favor more high-skilled immigration to bring additional entrepreneurial talent into the country for the near future. Today, I want to focus on an urgent policy issue that needs to be addressed to produce results over the long-run. Improvements in education are essential to equipping American citizens with entrepreneurial skills. Creative thinking and prudent risk-taking are no different than any other skills people are born with; they are likely to be useless unless the skill is developed through education and experience.
Every day—while building roads, giving inoculations, sitting at computer screens—individuals are quietly thinking: "I know a better way to do this." Or: "I could create something new that would make this easier for everyone."
And then they go back to work, never transforming their thoughts into action. Why does this happen, and how can we unleash these hidden ideas?
"Lizard King" John Bello describes his first entrepreneurial venture as a miserable failure. Bello launched South Beach Beverage Co. in 1995. Despite the popularity of other geo-based drink brands such as Nantucket Nectars and AriZona iced tea, South Beach didn't resonate with consumers, not even in the upscale Florida community that shared its name. Within two months, Bello knew the $2 million startup investment was heading, well, south.
The Obama Administration is now coming up on the end of the first 100 days, so it is a good time to revisit its innovation agenda to determine which directions it has taken. Although it is too early to judge any outcomes, we see positive signs that the role of innovation and entrepreneurship is at the core of this Administration's approach to the economy.
There has been a lot written in the past few days on how to revive the Venture Capital (VC) industry in the U.S. However, we need to keep the bigger picture in mind and avoid making the mistake of equating new firm creation, job creation and economic recovery to the health of the VC industry. VC investments are only one component of the capital market for new firms. Policymakers' efforts should focus on the larger entrepreneurial ecosystem, rather than just on the VC industry.
Momentum for a comprehensive patent reform has been slowly building in Congress. Last week, the House Judiciary Committee began examining a patent bill introduced in March by Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) and ranking member Lamar Smith (R-TX). In the Senate, Leahy (D-VT) recently cut a deal to soften damages language in last year's failed Senate bill. Most are eager to see reform. The rules, protections, and the adjudication process surrounding IP requires constant adjustments to keep up with challenges of the digital revolution. However, as new policy is considered, I hope policy makers contemplate the effects of patent legislation on our future job creators.
Universities, particularly research universities, are an important component of an innovation economy. Universities around the world have long been instrumental in developing much of the innovation that benefits our lives. A key question, therefore, is how well universities are prepared to support the transition to a more entrepreneurial economy. The various successful experiences from around the world show that shaping entrepreneurial universities requires commitment to institutional innovation.
President Obama has been bringing together leaders with diverse views for discussions on how to achieve the goals of lowering health care costs, expanding coverage and improving quality. As health care reform moves forward, policymakers should also evaluate the effects of health care reform, particular the health insurance system, on entrepreneurship.

Spinal tuberculosis (spinal TB) occurs in about 1% to 2% of people with TB (the most common infectious disease in the world). The disease can have a major impact on people's lives. Nerves can be squeezed causing pain, loss of feeling, and breathing problems. It can cause bone loss and curvature of the spine, which can lead to loss of nerve function and paralysis after some years, even if the TB has been cured. Correcting with surgery at this point can be difficult because of the complexity of the surgery required. It has been suggested that surgery might be undertaken at the time the TB of the spine is diagnosed and drug treatment (chemotherapy) is being used. However, all surgery has potential adverse effects. This review of trials found there were insufficient numbers of participants in the two trials located (331 participants) to be able to say if routine surgery early on was of overall benefit. Further trials are needed and such trials should assess the pain that people suffer and their views of the disease and treatment.

Taxes » Tax Filing » Who Has To File Taxes?
Believe it or not, some people make it through tax-filing season without any hassle. That's because the Internal Revenue Service doesn't require them to file taxes. Unfortunately, most of us aren't that lucky. So just who has to file a tax return?
Three things must be considered when determining whether you have to file a return: your age, your filing status and your income. Generally, once you reach a certain income level, the law requires you to file. The amounts are adjusted annually for inflation.
The income amounts also are based on taxpayer age on the last day of the tax year.
Individuals younger than age 65 must file if they make certain amounts. The earnings threshold amounts go up a bit for older (65-plus) individuals.
Regardless of age, the earnings target is the same for married couples who file separate tax returns.
In most situations, your age for tax purposes depends on how old you were on the last day of the year. But when it comes to determining whether you have to file a return, the IRS says if you turned 65 on New Year's Day, you are considered to be 65 at the end of the previous tax year. The one-day grace period allows you to use the higher income thresholds to determine whether you must file a tax return.
The IRS also has different rules for dependents who earn money. And even though it's children we're usually talking about, the IRS doesn't make it easy, setting different earning standards for the two types of income -- unearned or earned -- that trigger filing requirements.
