Market Vectors' Fran Rodilosso Comments On Potential SoftBank Acquisition Of Sprint Nextel
According to today's news reports, Japan's SoftBank may be close to making a significant investment in, or possibly buying a controlling stake in, Sprint Nextel. This investment, if it occurred, could be of potentially significant benefit to Sprint and Sprint Nextel bondholders, according to Market Vectors' fixed income portfolio manager Fran Rodilosso.
"As the third-largest carrier in the U.S., Sprint has suffered trying to compete against behemoths AT&T and Verizon. However, as an acquisition target, the company offers a foreign competitor like SoftBank critical mass to enter into this market," said Rodilosso. "This news is also of great interest to investors in 'fallen angels,' a category of high-yield debt, which currently includes Sprint/Sprint Nextel."
The term "Fallen Angel" refers to corporate bonds that were once investment grade, but have since been downgraded to non-investment grade; i.e., high-yield, bond status.
Many "fallen angels" are bonds issued by companies, which tend to be larger than typical high-yield issuers, and which generally have name brand recognition, a significant market position, and/or large asset bases. The value of these companies' tangible and intangible assets may have decreased over time or a company may have taken on too much leverage, resulting in the company's debt being lowered to below investment grade status.Rodilosso noted that Sprint and Sprint Nextel bonds currently make up approximately 7.5 percent of the BofA Merrill Lynch Fallen Angel Index, which underlies the Market Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: ANGL). "If a deal goes through, given SoftBank's financial strength relative to Sprint's, I believe that the ramifications would be positive for Sprint creditors," said Rodilosso. Most Sprint bonds have moved 5-10 basis points higher this morning on the prospects of an acquisition. Mr. Rodilosso has more than 20 years of senior level experience in emerging markets, high-yield debt research and portfolio management. In addition to ANGL, he also manages six other Market Vectors fixed income ETFs: Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: EMLC), International High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: IHY), Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: HYEM) , LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: BONO) , Renminbi Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: CHLC) and Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (NYSE Arca: FLTR).

The U.S. Men came out firing on all fronts on Saturday night, soundly defeating Scotland 5-1 in front of a new Florida record 44,438 fans in Jacksonville.
Landon Donovan powered the U.S. attack with a hat trick, while Michael Bradley and Jermaine Jones added a goal each in the victory.
The result has to have U.S. fans excited. Not only was the result on the scoreboard ideal, the team played their most complete game since Klinsmann took over for Bob Bradley. The 4-3-3 formation provided quick passing and distribution from Bradley, Jones, and Edu to Donovan and Jose Torres which opened up a constant and effective attack. The passing and creativity were superb, some of the best that I have seen from a U.S. Men's squad.
Donovan was a man on fire. His first goal in the third minute came off his own rebound where he corralled the ball and was able to fire high to give the U.S. the first goal of the game. The goal was a product of pure determination and desire. Donovan scored two more at 60 and 65 set up by crafty passes from Jones and Bradley respectively.
Michale Bradley scored the second goal of the game on a stunningly beautiful strike from 25 yards out into the upper right hand corner in the 11th minute. Jones added to the score in the 70th with a snap header to the right side of the goal.
The game is the first of five in 18 days. The squad takes on the mighty Brazil on Wednesday in D.C. with World Cup Qualifying on the horizon.
1. Klinsmann told us to be patient as he crafted this squad into a creative, passing, team over the past year and if tonight is any indication of what to expect from the USMNT under Klinsmann, this was a brilliant hire. The team looked dangerous tonight. I hate to keep saying it, but the passing was spectacular. No long balls, just beautiful, fast, attacking, football
2. The 4-3-3 formation played to the strengths of Bradley, Jones, Donovan, and Torres. Those four players stood out. Altidore and Dempsey in the mix will be tasty to say the least.
3. When Nike presented the new U.S. Men's National Team jersey a few weeks back, a lot of fans on Twitter and message boards were quick to criticize the new red and white striped look. If the men keep playing like they did against Scotland on Saturday night, these shirts may become the all-time favorite.

The Esquire Late-Night Pantry
If eating after midnight is a rare occasion at your house, a frozen pizza works. But for the late-night habitué who needs more rewarding options, it takes some judicious stockpiling. The best after-hours pantry is ruled by two criteria: flexibility (gotta have lots of uses) and perishability (gotta last at least a week).
By Francine Maroukian

Devotees can attest to the joy of eating this cold from the fridge, when it's so dense you can see your teeth marks. The more patient toast it.

Baltimore Felon in Possession of a Gun Exiled to 15 Years in Prison
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake sentenced Damon Penn, age 36, of Baltimore, today to 15 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for being a felon in possession of a gun. U.S. District Judge Blake enhanced Penn's sentence upon finding that he was an armed career criminal based on three previous convictions for drug offenses and assault.
United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Theresa R. Stoop of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Baltimore City State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy; and Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III announced the sentence.
According to Penn's plea agreement, on July 1, 2008, Baltimore City Police officers saw Penn operating a car with broken brake and turn signal lights in the Liberty Heights section of Baltimore. The officers stopped the car. Penn appeared nervous and said his driver's license had been suspended. Penn was arrested and a loaded .22 caliber handgun was seized from the car. Penn had previously been convicted of a felony and thus, was prohibited from possessing a gun.
Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant U.S. Attorneys Rachel M. Yasser and P. Michael Cunningham, who prosecuted the case.

Interesting Seattle Real Estate Statistics From 2009
As we close out the books for Seattle real estate in 2009, I thought I'd give you a few of the highs and lows of the year, statistically. These statistics are not compiled or published by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. They're not official county records, just statistics I've pulled from the NWMLS for my own entertainment purposes.
Highest home sale price of the year in Seattle: $11.5 Million. Congratulations, you lucky new owners.
Lowest home sale price of the year in Seattle: $32,000
Largest Seattle home stats, sold in 2009: 16 bedrooms, 6 baths, 11,700 sq ft. The children are NOT allowed to play hide and seek any more.
Smallest Seattle home stats,sold in 2009: 320 sq ft studio.
Longest time to sell a home in Seattle: 1075 days. Way to hang in there.
Shortest time to sell a home in Seatle: 0 days (sold on opening day)
The median Seattle home this year was a 3 bed, 1.75 bath, 1500 sq ft home selling for around $365,000. Sounds about right.
It was one heck of a year, from an early dead-zone to a mad dash at the finish. We hope that all of you had a great year, and wish you luck in the coming year of 2010.

Girl, Interrupted

CommentAdd a Comment
I did not realise that this book was based off of the experiences of the author until I noticed that the author and the main character shared the same first and last name. I believe that would be an indication that this is a very well-written memoir. I loved the quirky characters and truthfulness in the words. I couldn't put this one down.
I can't believe I'm saying this butt, I enjoyed the movie more... That's not to say I didn't enjoy the book but the movie is definetly juiced up more.. Still nothing beats the story told in first person. If anything I'd say read the book just to have read it. It's an easy read and definetly makes you think. We've all felt crazy at one time or another! :)
One of my favourite books of all time, along with her other book, "The Camera My Mother Gave Me."
Girl, Interrupted was a very clear book and an easy & fast read. I loved reading the medical charts throughout the book; it was interesting and something different to break up the text. I expected a lot more from it though. The chapters all seemed to be disconnected from each other which made the whole story seem disconnected too. It was more like several little memoirs combined to make a book. All in all, it was worth reading.

I got better and Daisy didn't and I can't explain why. Maybe I was just flirting with madness the way I flirted with my teachers and classmates.
"Was insanity just a matter of dropping the act?"
"Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified."

Section 264 of HIPAA required the Secretary of Health and Human Services to implement national standards to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information that was transmitted electronically. The final HIPAA regulation was published in the last minutes of the Clinton Administration on December 28, 2000. That rule was extensively amended in August of 2002 (with further amendments in 2003), and appears at final form at 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164.
Under the final HIPAA rules at 45 C.F.R. § 164.502, covered entities, including health care providers, can disclose protected health information for treatment purposes without patient consent; 45 C.F.R. § 164.506(c) (1) and (2) permit both the use and disclosure of information for treatment purposes. The rules at 45 C.F.R. § 164.501 define treatment to mean:
… the provision, coordination, or management of health care and related services by one or more health care providers, including the coordination or management of health care by a health care provider with a third party; consultation between health care providers relating to a patient; or the referral of a patient for health care from one health care provider to another.
One exception to this general rule of permitting the sharing of treatment information without consent is that "psychotherapy notes" may only be disclosed with authorization (45 C.F.R. § 164.508(a)(2)) except insofar as they are used by the originator of the notes or for a covered entity's supervised mental health education and training purposes. Psychotherapy notes are a special form of treatment information:
Psychotherapy notes means notes recorded (in any medium) by a health care provider who is a mental health professional documenting or analyzing the contents of conversation during a private counseling session or a group, joint, or family counseling session and that are separated from the rest of the individual's medical record. Psychotherapy notes excludes medication prescription and monitoring, counseling session start and stop times, the modalities and frequencies of treatment furnished, results of clinical tests, and any summary of the following items: diagnosis, functional status, the treatment plan, symptoms, prognosis, and progress to date (45 C.F.R. § 164.501).
Authorization is a special and rigorous form of consent, which must include a description of the information to be disclosed, the identity of the person or class of persons who may disclose the information and to whom it may be disclosed, a description of the purpose of the disclosure, an expiration date for the authorization, and the signature of the person au-

Remember Me
Icon welcomes individuals and organisations from all backgrounds who identify with the conservation and preservation of our cultural heritage. Our membership embraces the entire conservation community as well as members of the public who are keen to learn more or show their support for conservation work.
Growing numbers of tourists and visitors can pose serious problems for many fragile historic sites. The conservation of valuable documents in archives has for some time increasingly depended on the creation of digital surrogate copies, but the challenges surrounding the creation of a digital surrogate of an entire ancient city have proved too daunting until now. This week, it will be possible for the first time to - literally - take a stroll around virtual Pompeii.
A stroll around Pompeii is not just virtual reality it involves real walking. Instead of sitting at a computer looking at a virtual streetscape, the visitor walks - or even runs - on a multidirectional treadmill. As they move naturally, a 3-D headset changes the visitors view of the Pompeii streets so they can literally walk around a city which has not existed for 2000 years.
The walk around Pompeii is possible thanks to an EU-funded collaboration between the Max Plank Institute for Biological Cybernetics, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ), the University of Rome (La Sapienza), the Munich Technical University
Visitor numbers to heritage sites around the world continue to soar. It is expected that by 2020 there will be 1.6 billion international travellers per year, compared with 663 million in 1999. Over 16.5m Chinese tourists ventured abroad in 2002, twice as many as in 1998. The number of visitor to the Louvre rose from 5.6 million in 2001 to 8.35 million in 2006. In 2005 Angkor Wat received 1m visitors, Pompeii 2m, the Alhambra 2.2m and even Macchu Picchu has climbed well past 0.5m per year, growing at about 6% annually. If the worlds architectural heritage is not to be trampled flat by eager visitors, new ways have to be found of managing visitor numbers, and it is possible that a new generation of virtual reality experiences will have a part to play in this. It is not yet clear though whether high-tech encounters such as the Pompeii Cyberwalk will satisfy peoples desire for contact with the past or whether they will just make the problem worse by stimulating their curiosity for the real thing even further.

The Kansas City Star reports 25 students started the championship round Saturday, but only two remained after 19 rounds.

What can older inventors offer you? A product, often a patent, and access to cash you simply don't have.
It's important for an invention to be fully developed prior to introduction. Many novice inventors make the mistake of rushing a product to market before it's ready. More experienced inventors are willing to spend a year or two fine-tuning the invention so it's as marketable as possible when it hits the market.
Experienced inventors are also more likely to have access to funding. Their friends have more money, and they often have a network of business associates who want to fund the product. One inventor I worked with who had an engineering background raised $150,000 from his engineering friends--$5,000 at a time--to market a pump he had invented. He never quit his day job--he had a friend market the invention for him instead.

text: 24 June 2011 VICTORY for the Serengeti! Posted by: Defenders of Wildlife | 4 comments | Share: Zebras migrate through Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. In February, we told you about the Tanzanian government's plans to build a 300-mile highway through the northern part of Africa's Serengeti National Park that would bisect the "Great Migration"– considered one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. Every year, millions of wildebeest, zebra, elephants, rhinos and gazelles run with predators like cheetahs and lions across the vast landscape, instinctively searching for water. A road through the park would have devastated wildlife populations and surely put an end to the Great Migration forever. A highway through the Serengeti would fragment habitat, obstruct migration routes, invite invasive species and disease, and cause countless vehicle collisions with wildlife. Without access to water during the dry season, the huge herds would dwindle to a fraction of their current size. Population calculations show that the number of wildebeest would plummet from 1.3 million animals to about 200,000–less than a quarter of the species' current population. An acacia tree at dusk under the Serengeti sky. Slicing through the pristine and remote northwestern area of the park, the highway would also welcome poachers, gangs and unauthorized settlements and farming. Without constant oversight and law enforcement, poachers and gangs would use the highway as a drive-through to slaughter rare wildlife like the highly endangered black rhinos. But we received very good news: Tanzania canceled plans to build the road through the park! According to a statement from the Tanzanian Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, "The State Party confirms that the proposed road will not dissect the Serengeti National Park and therefore will not affect the migration and conservation values of the Property." Plans still exist to pave the road up to the edge of the park and concerns remain for ongoing threats to the Serengeti lands and wildlife, but cancellation of this highway project gives us room to celebrate for now. Lion cubs relax after lunch. These days, victories for wildlife are few and far between. Today, we give our sincere thanks to the people of Tanzania and their forward-thinking leader. Their wise decision to protect the wildlife of Serengeti and the Great Migration is a precious gift to the world. Asante sana! (Thank you very much in Swahili) Trisha White Director, Habitat and Highways Program Alejandra Goyenechea Director, International Conservation Program 4 Responses to "VICTORY for the Serengeti!" James Andrew Snell June 24th, 2011 Congrats! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reply Alexis de Vilar June 24th, 2011 THE SERENGETI HIGHWAY IS STILL ON!!!! The "candid" letter adressed by Ezekiel Maigto to UNESCO headquarters is only a mere trick by Kikewte (and his "lovely" pal Lowassa) to mislead everyone and get away with their plans to start works, and most important for them: to start getting funds from donors… It is well known that African leaders (and also corrupted politicians in other parts of the world) do get a substantial commission free of taxes in Swiss banks or other tax free paradises for accepting "investment money"… The common percentage is 15% of the total money accepted… This may come as a surprise to many, but we all know it and considering the past record of Lowassa and Kikwete, they are not going to be an exception. In short, the "nice" letter to the UNESCO, allows them to: 1. Get the cash without further "interruptions" by activists. 2. Get their "percentage" in due course. 3. Go ahead with the highway, which now has less meaning, because if car and trucks CAN NOT cross the Serengeti being the unpaved road under TANAPA control and only for Nat. Park use, why then construct that highly expensive highway in the first place? 4. The trick will allow Lowassa (a traitor to the local Maasai being himself one of them…) and Kikwete to go ahead with the real reason behind the road, which is apart from capturing a "percentage" of the donor money, to get the soda ash plant under construction, which means another "percentage", this time for the rest of their lives from the Indian investors related to Kikwete's father in law… (see the Dar es Salaam press's latest news on that…) 5. The soda ash plant and the road, will, on the other side, definitively destroy the Maasai cosmology, killing their culture and turning most of them into beggars as their ways of present subsistence will be sacrified for ever. In my recent visit to Lake Natron last April I talked to several Maasai chiefs, and their common roar was that the highway will increase the stealing of their cattle, as there is no way they can stop the hundreds of trucks, specially at night, from robbing freely. Also it will force those Maasai not willing to become askaris at the soda ash plant, to move further inland, where there is no water, and further bad news for them, it will completely stop the walking safaris to Ol Donyo lengai as visitors will look for more pristine pastures… Last but not least, does anybody with common sense believe that once the two sides of the highway being operational, that the remaining 53 kms. will not be paved anytime soon? Reply Victoria Marshall June 24th, 2011 I want to thank Defenders of Wildlife for all their help in making this GREAT VICTORY possible!! We on FB signed all your petitions and sent letters and money for your cause. Bless you!! Reply David Blanton June 25th, 2011 Please, do not be taken in without investigating further. See the article posted by Serengeti Watch. http://www.savetheserengeti.org/?p=939 It explains why the road has not been "cancelled" and why we should not be celebrating at this time.

The first in what is expected to be a slew of new miniaturised flagship devices has arrived, and it's HTC first to the shrink ray with the confusingly named HTC One Mini 2.
Okay, so the name does make sense if you look at last year's HTC One Mini, but considering the Taiwanese firm backed itself into a naming corner with the One M8 the One Mini 2 is only adding to the mixed up terminology.
Perhaps the HTC One M8 Mini would have been a more sensible name, but it's no more elegant. To be clear the One Mini 2 is a shrunken version of the excellent HTC One M8 - although the design of the handset gives that away almost instantly.British Open 2014 Live STream
Glance quickly at the One Mini 2 and you'd be forgiven for thinking it's the full blown One M8. It's a lot closer in design to its bigger brother than the original One Mini was to the HTC One.
The plastic band which ran round the circumference of the One Mini persists on the One Mini 2, but HTC has done a much better job of hiding it. You're unlikely to notice it unless you look at the top or base of the handset.
2014 British Open LIVE STREAM At these two points the plastic rim widens to cover the whole depth of the One Mini 2, but down each side it's pushed into a thin strip by the metal rear cover which hugs either edge.

That's become the rallying cry of the fashion publishing industry, even as some magazines watch ad pages plummet, circulation fall and heads roll.
One day Anna Wintour's jetting off with a legion of Vogue editors to fete both Johnny Depp and the Anne Klein collection, while Graydon Carter of Vanity Fair is hosting intimate dinners for Princess Margaret and planning a mega bash at Morton's in Hollywood on Oscar night. Back East, Paige Rense of Architectural Digest, who's actually based in California, is hosting her own Oscar party at Mortimer's here, for 80 of her nearest and dearest (and biggest advertisers). And those with any energy left can head down to Harvey Electronics inside ABC Carpet to party with Kurt Andersen and the New York magazine crowd.
This week, Tina Brown of The New Yorker threw her own mogul and movie star extravaganza at The Bel-Air. In May, the boys from Elle are sponsoring the big AIDS Project Los Angeles gala at Mann's Chinese Theater. And S.I. Newhouse himself, who hasn't led too many conga lines in his day, is outdoing Elsa Maxwell with parties for James Truman, Ron Galotti and Tom Florio, plus all kinds of departing Conde Nast executives.
To some, all this nightlife is a waste of time and money, and smacks of Eighties excess. But to others -- usually the ones giving the parties -- it's the Nineties way of doing business and is a comparatively inexpensive way of promoting their magazines.
The parties have become a selling tool, where publishers can hit on potential clients or reward those who have already bought big packages. Indeed, some advertisers are now insisting on promotional parties before they'll sign a contract.
For some editors, it seems that simply editing a magazine isn't enough anymore: "Party host" is now part of the job description. Often, a public relations person is part of the package to make sure the word gets out.
It is not an inexpensive proposition. Parties can cost anywhere from $10,000 for a smallish affair to steep six-figure sums, with many falling in the $40,000-to-$60,000 range.
Some credit publishing's party phenomenon to Tina Brown, who, during her tenure at Vanity Fair, threw countless affairs to not only bring in business, but get close to potential interview subjects and raise the magazine's profile. Others, however, point out that Vogue's 100th anniversary party, hosted by Anna Wintour at the New York Public Library, was the biggest magazine extravaganza in years, costing at least $500,000.

The Pine Creek fire south of Livingston continues to burn out of control. Strong winds from a thunder cell passed over the fire area today and increased fire activity and spread. Evacuations are underway north of McDonald Creek and east to the perimeter.
The Park County Sheriff's Office has issued a mandatory evacuation to residents in the George Creek area. The road block on East River Road on the south end near Barney Creek has been moved to George Creek.
Residents that live in the Livingston Peak area and residents that live along Swingley Road all the way to the Park and Sweet Grass County line are under a pre-evacuation notice. This means that those residents should make preparations to leave their homes if the need arises.
The fire has burned several homes and outbuildings. It has charred over 9,000 acres of land.

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi kept the crowd at his rally in south Delhi's Dakshinpuri waiting for more than 4 hours on Sunday, and then left them disappointed with one of his shortest speeches.
The people had gathered since 9am for his second rally in the city ahead of the December 4 polls. He came at around 1.45pm and was gone seven minutes later.
Tired of waiting, many even got up to leave before Gandhi's appearance but were stopped by chief minister Sheila Dikshit.
"Humari behane jo jaa rahi hai, main unse request karungi Rahulji ko sun kar jaaye. Mujhe pata hai aapko bhook lagi hogi (those of you who are leaving, I request you to stay and listen to Rahul. I know many of you are hungry)," Dikshit said in the middle of her speech.
"There was no arrangement for water. I was waiting since morning and then decided to leave as I was very tired," said Radhey Shyam, who had been standing for more than three hours.
Gandhi finally did come. Criticising divisive politics and countering the BJP's attempt to woo migrants, he described Delhi as a city of migrants. "In a way, it is a mini-Hindustan. People come here from UP, Bihar Mumbai. My family went from Kashmir to UP and from UP to Delhi. Sheila Dikshit's family too made the journey from UP to Delhi," he said.
By then, most of the chairs in the 4,000-capacity venue were empty.
Party sources said both Gandhi and Dikshit were visibly disappointed by the turnout.
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

Recent Forum Posts on The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
A Scandal in Bohemia and Holmes' Character Flaws
Hello everybody! I stumbled over this forum while looking for an essay topic for an essay I have to write for college (I'm German and study English). Because I recently bought "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" I decided to write about the following question: Which Tools Does Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Use in his Short Story A Scandal in Bohemia to present the reader Not Only a Brilliant and Omniscient Sherlock Holmes But to Give his Character Complexity? I want to point out that Holmes of course is a brilliant detective but that he has also flaws that give him as a character in a ficitonal context deepness and complexity. I want to write about his drug consume, his opinion about feelings and his lack of social behavior respectively his lack of participation in society. The main point on which I think about at the moment is this: Because of his lack of freinds and participation in society he (Holmes) seems to be content with himself as an intellectual companion, which gives the reader several choices of interpretation: First Holmes could be overly arrogant who thinks himself above everyone else and doesnt want to mingle with the common man. Second he could be incredibly alone because he is not capable to build a relationship solely based on sympathy respectively feelings. Most likely he simply doesn't mind beeing alone because he is more interested in logical coherence than in other people (which comes easily to the readers mind when he reminds himself of the fact that Holmes loves solving crimes). I wonder how his childhood was. Why do you think Holmes is the way he is? Is there any reference to this topic in any of Doyles work's? And isn't it strange that a person who loves coherence and clear thoughts consumes drugs? I don't get it. It doesn't matter that cocaine wasn't forbidden during that time, shouldn't the fact that drugs constrict the capability of clear thinking be a huge reason for Holmes not to take them? (sorry for this ugly sentence xD) He, who relys only on his power of observation? In which situations does he take drugs? There have to be times when he wants to forget about things otherwise I can't imagine why he should take them. I'm looking forward to read your opinions! Svenja
More Sherlock!
Hi, I've read the original stories but can anyone recommend any non-Conan Doyle Holmes spin-off books. The other day I came across "Mycroft Holmes and the Adventure of the Silver Birches" by crime novelist David Dickinson, and loved it (short story was written with spirit, wit and intelligence of original stories). The publisher, Endeavourpress.com, seems to be publishing other Holmes related titles. http://www.amazon.com/Mycroft-Holmes-Adventure-Birches-ebook/dp/B006JXUSBS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325606091&sr=8-2 Does anyone know of any other new e-books or books out on Sherlock though, apart from the new Horowitz one? Thanks.
Confused about A Scandal in Bohemia
Why did Irene get married on such short notice? Why couldn't they have gotten married in the morning? It wasn't a coincidence that they just so happened to get married that day, was it? Why did Irene give up? If it was because of Holmes finding the location of her picture, couldn't she just have moved it? Was it really necessary to flee the country instead of just giving up the picture? The king could have solved the problem by killing her, but he didn't, so was she really in danger? Seriously, what the hell.
Please an opinion and help!
First of all My name is Crobe, i loved sherlcok holmes sicne a kid, but i wasnt able to read any of the book, years years later i just finished a recopilation of Sherlock and i love it even more, since i draw a lttle, i wanted ur opinion of the first sketch i did, sicne i want to draw the stories, on the book i was readin there is no detailed explanation of how he is, this is how i imagined him, also if u can help me with Watson, i have no real idea how he is, i think he is old, (somewhat old), but i dont know how old. Thankf for listening to me, and if u have any opinion and if im wrong (im sure im wrong in something) please let me know Thansk Again. http://imgur.com/D9Hl3
What was your favourite adventure?
I just finished reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and I liked all of the stories and I have grown quite fond of Holmes and Doyle's writing. Two stories stood out to me above the rest. These were The Adventure of The Beryl Coronet because of being so unpredictible (although I predict very little of any of his adventures) and my favourite, The Red-Headed League for being so absurd a story to begin with before ending as a well thought out crime. So what were your favourite of the adventures and why?
Watsons Dog?
I have been an avid reader of the canon since I was 14 ( now 63 ). Iread all the novels and short stories at least once a year. One thing, However, has baffled me throughout the years. In the opening pages of "A study in Scarlet ", when Holmes and Watson are discussing their various quirks; Watson's last remark is; " I keep a Bull Pup ". Never again, even in this first novel, is Watson's Bull Pup ever mentioned. Any ideas or did I miss Something??
All sherlock holmes stories written by conan doyle!
I live in Greece and there is a four-part book series which contains all of Sherlock's stories written by Conan Doyle. The series is named Άπαντα Σέρλοκ Χόλμς (translation: All Sherlock Holmes). I'm very happy!! :D I will probably get the whole series after the exams!!!
Has anyone else read a book that has only a few Sherlock Holmes adventures in it?
I used to have a little book that had only 3 AOSH in it. I don't remember what happened to it, but I remember enjoying them and trying to figure out the mysteries before he did. Does anyone else have books like this? P.G. 7.

Accountability standards strengthen voucher program | 7-24-12
4:04 minutes (3.72 MB) Download
Some private schools that participate in Louisiana's statewide voucher program will face performance scores similar to public schools under planned accountability standards.
The scoring and penalties for low-performing schools will apply to schools with sizable numbers of voucher students, estimated to be a quarter of the schools in the upcoming school year.
State Superintendent of Education John White announced the plans Monday, and says the standards will ensure state money is being spent wisely. The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education will vote Tuesday on whether to back them.
All voucher students in third through 11th grade will take the same standardized tests as public school students.
Private schools with more than ten voucher students per grade or more than 40 voucher students in all tested grades will receive a performance schore. Low-performing schools won't be able to enroll new voucher students.

And the Only Nominees Are: The Hollywood Reporter and the Antelope Valley Press

While the AVP won the award in 2010 and was nominated again in 2011, this year's National Entertainment Journalism Awards category of Entertainment Publication has whittled the nominees down to just them and The Hollywood Reporter. An odd sight, to say the least.
For Entertainment Publication this year, there's no Deadline (they boycotted), no Variety (they didn't enter), no TheWrap, no LA Weekly, no Entertainment Weekly and no Vanity Fair. Just a Palmdale-Lancaster paper launched in 1915 and a Hollywood trade founded in 1930.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India�s largest IT services exporter, is likely to record a forex loss in excess of R500 crore for the second quarter of the current fiscal, despite the rupee recording a significant depreciation against the US dollar.
According to reports by brokerage houses, following an interaction with the company, the IT major has been affected by the volatility in the forex market both in domestic segment as well as overseas.
Angel Broking in its report said, �TCS� management indicated that during 2Q 2014 fiscal, the company is expected to incur forex losses to the tune of R550-650 crore, largely on account of range forward options, assuming R/$ range of 65-68. It be noted that 50% of TCS� hedges are in the form of options, a fair portion of which could be range forward options.�
A depreciating rupee is generally considered to be beneficial for the export focused IT industry, but they are also wary of the volatility in the currency movement.
According to a report by Nomura Securities, forex losses of TCS is likely to increase from R105 crore in the first quarter to R550-700 crore in the second quarter. The company is also likely to face a negative impact of 1-1.5% on dollar revenue due to cross-currency movement.
However, the depreciating rupee is also likely to aid TCS in expanding its operating margins. A report by Prabhudas Lilladher said, �The currency depreciation should give 250-300 basis points margin tailwind.�
The rupee depreciation also raises questions about IT companies passing these benefits to the customers like a price reduction or other incentives, but it is unlikely that TCS would be taking any such steps. Angel Broking said, �If the rupee remains at current levels, TCS will reinvest the benefits into the business over the medium term. The management indicated that it reinvested rupee gains in the business in the past as opposed to offering discounts/passing on rupee benefits to clients. Instead of passing the benefits to clients, the approach is more towards reinvesting in newer segments.�
Despite this expected loss on the forex front, TCS has projected a sustained momentum of growth from both US and Europe. The Prabhudas Lilladher report said, �Demand is predominantly from the existing customer on new technology and new IT spends. The projects are smaller in size, but clients are taking decision around the discretionary IT as well.�

Zack Bowman is headed back for a sixth season with the Bears, according to a league source.
Bowman will be signing a one-year deal.
A fifth-round pick of the Bears in 2008, Bowman has appeared in 57 games and started 16 games. But he's distinguished himself as an asset on special teams.
Bowman, 28, signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Vikings last year. But he was released just after the final cuts to make room for cornerback A.J. Jefferson, whom the Vikings acquired in a trade.
Upon his return, Bowman immediately made an impact on special teams, particularly after the departure of Corey Graham, a Pro Bowl selection in 2011.

Downley House by BPR Architects
BPR Architects have designed the Downley House in Petersfield, England.
Downley House is a large new country house built in the South Downs. The client called for a tranquil yet playful place, full of natural texture, contrasts, and indigenous materials. BPR created an entrance sequence which commences in a circular stone entrance court, extends along a pergola into an inner court bounded by a ruined wall and through the house to a roof terrace where a stair bridges into the landscape.
The house is divided into a family wing and a guest wing linked by a barrel vaulted dining hall centred on the ruin entrance. The barrel vaulted hall opens at each end onto courtyards which receive sun in the morning and evening. The form of the dining hall is like a foudre wine barrel and reflects the clients love of wine. The circular glazed stair ascends to the roof terrace.
Downley House is constructed of timber elements prefabricated in Swizerland and erected over a two month period. The family and guest wings are constructed of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels and the barrel vault is made of a CLT timber shell and glue lam ribs. The low-embodied energy of the construction, the efficient envelope, ground source heat pump and heat recovery system create a highly sustainable and energy efficient building.

Wow! Architecture like this really requires thinking outside of the box. I also like the struts of the support frame are not fully touching.
The combinations of old and new are daring. The location is superb, and the entrance.. amazing!

This is definitely not a cookie-cutter modernist rectangle (although I really like those sometimes too). I wonder how they got council approval to build this though. I've heard rural councils come down hard on designs that are 'not in keeping with the character of the local countryside' and mire them in red tape. This house is impressive both for its design and the fact that it was able to be built!
