Mobile, AL (Sports Network) - Augustine Rubit converted a crucial basket from under the rim with 1.8 seconds remaining in order to give the South Alabama Jaguars a 68-66 win over the Troy Trojans in Sun Belt Conference play at the Mitchell Center.
The Jaguars (11-9, 3-6), who snapped a three-game slide, were paced by Rubit who finished with 18 points, 19 rebounds and five blocked shots, while Antoine Lundy also tallied 18 points in the team's second win over the Trojans in just over two weeks.
Troy (7-13, 2-7 BSC) was paced by Emil Jones who registered a double-double of his own with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Will Weathers and Justin Wright both dropped in 12 points and R.J. Scott and Alan Jones contributed 11 points apiece as well.
Troy grabbed an early lead in the meeting, but after 20 minutes of action the visitors found themselves in a deep, 18-point hole at 45-27. The Trojans shot just 28.2 percent from the floor in the first half and failed to make a single trip to the free-throw line. Over on the other side, USA knocked down 53.8 percent from the field and 13-of-21 at the charity stripe in the period.
In the second half the lead reached 20 points for the Jags, but the team left the door open for the Trojans to battle back as the hosts missed all eight chances behind the three-point line in the period and hit on only 32.3 percent from the field overall.
In a game that saw five ties and 14 lead changes, South Alabama turned the ball over 18 times but made up for those by outscoring the visitors at the free-throw line, 16-5.
The victory also served to provide USA head coach Ronnie Arrow his 200th with the program.

Coeur d'Alene Sen. John Goedde, who's just won re-election to a seventh term in the Senate, says he may or may not continue as the Senate Education Committee chairman. "I would be in line to take the Commerce & Human Resources chairmanship, and that's something that I spent … years being involved with as a small businessman," said Goedde, an insurance agent. "And I would not have the hassle of dealing with the leadership of the IEA there."
Clearly stung by the defeat of Propositions 1, 2 and 3, the "Students Come First" school reform measures - of which Goedde was the lead legislative sponsor and which the Idaho Education Association opposed - he said he'll "withhold judgment on how serious the IEA is on looking at education reform" until he sees what vision the teachers union proposes for future reform. "If the union is sincere in looking at reform, I think they need to be included," Goedde said. "But if it's going to be 'not only no but hell no,' which has kind of been their prior approach to this, then it's a futile effort to include them."
Goedde said by seniority, if he were to leave the education chairmanship, the next person eligible would be Sen. Monty Pearce, R-New Plymouth, who now chairs the Resources Committee. And if he didn't want to, the next would be Sen. Russ Fulcher, R-Meridian, who now serves in leadership as caucus chairman.
Goedde said, "But with that said, I also made a commitment that I'd see this reform through the end, and I don't know that I can jump ship mid-term." Goedde said, "I spoke with the pro-tem this morning, and I'll speak with him again at the legislative tour." Lawmakers will gather for their North Idaho Legislative Tour starting on Sunday; it's in Moscow and Lewiston this year. The three-day event will be the first chance for jockeying to begin for leadership races; it'll also be the first chance for lawmakers to chew over the election result together. "We need to sit down as a majority caucus and talk about where we go from here," Goedde said.

Shrouded in fog since the world was sundered more than ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures. It is the homeland of the enigmatic Pandaren, a race that celebrates life to the fullest even while under siege by an ancient menace.
The new continent reveals itself to a broken world just as the Alliance and Horde are spiraling ever closer to a war that will consume all of Azeroth. Will the mists of Pandaria part to reveal the world's salvation? Or will the battle to control this rich and breathtaking new land push the two mighty factions over the brink of war and into total annihilation? The answers await within Pandaria's mysterious shores!

Colomba is the Italian word for Dove, a traditional symbol for peace, seen often during the Christmas holiday season. In this case, Colomba refers to the shape of the traditional Easter cake, which is found on Italian tables in Italy and round the world. Our Colomba are made by Albertengo, an Italian company with a long-standing reputation for using only the finest raw ingredients with no additives or preservatives. Their beautiful packaging speaks for itself.
There are many legends surrounding the use of a dove shaped cake at Easter. One of them tells about the people of Milan locked in battle with Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Just after Easter, the tide turned in their favor just after three doves flew from a nearby church. The Milanese have celebrated their victory ever since.
Like Panettone and Pandoro , Colomba is a leavened, enriched bread. This bread is made from flour, butter, eggs and, depending on type, various kinds of candied fruit such as candied orange peel. It is then covered with an almond glaze and decorated with whole almonds and sugar.
The Colomba Frutti Esotici begins with the marvelous traditional dough which is then filled with exotic fruits: pineapple, papaya, mango, coconut, kiwi, banana, lemon and star fruit, topped with the traditional icing.
Each Colomba Frutti Esotici by Albertengo contains 1K or 2.2 lbs.

- I like my soup a little thicker (more like stew) so if you want thinner soup, use more chicken broth
- 2 Lg cans of Tomato paste
- 1 Lg box of Chicken Broth
- 1 Med Onion
- 2 Red Bell Peppers
- 2 cans of Corn
- 3-4 Cloves of Garlic
- 1 can of Black Beans

- Oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Chili Powder
- Paprika
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Tortilla Chips
- Precooking Prep
- Dice onion and peppers into 1/4 in pieces
- Mince garlic
- De-bone the chicken thighs and dice into 1 in cubes
- (I leave some meat on the bones and throw them into the soup to cook as well)
- De-pit and dice avocados into 1 in cubes
- Grate pepperjack cheese (1-2 cups)
- Cooking
- On medium, heat oil in large pot
- Sweat onions and garlic for a few minutes
- Season with salt, pepper
- Add chicken and just brown outsides (~2 minutes)
- Season with chili powder and paprika
- Add diced peppers and let cook for another 2 minutes or so
- Add tomato paste, chicken broth, thigh bones and bring everything to a boil

- Serve in bowls and top with pepperjack cheese
- Eat with tortilla chips on the side or throw them into the soup
NotesI wanted to make soup so I looked at the ingredients of a can of tortilla soup and bought them so I could make it from scratch. I basically do it by ear so its always a little different each time.

Review of chapter "Chapter Two." from
Hey there.
I'm two chapters in, and it's a very promising start.
Dawn feels Dawnlike (though a more mature Dawn, which makes sense), and the general feel of the people and places and events seem natural.
That said... there's an issue, and a fairly large one.
Any writer who's done more than their first three or four scribblings has most certainly run into one of the more important bits of writerly advice/lore out there, which is: Show, don't tell.
This story, despite having many good points, is MASSIVELY weighted towards 'Telling', instead of 'Showing', and it really hurts the story itself.
It's almost as if this were a radio play; this would work brilliantly in that format. Or if Dawn got her her own series post-Buffy, and this story is season one, but every episode consists of three or four really brief scenes, and the rest is just long spans of a black screen, with Dawn doing a monotone voiceover. There's a reason why flashbacks in movies and television are actual scenes, with people talking to each other and things happening, as opposed to blackness, with someone telling us about what was said and what they did.
And the strange thing is, the scenes you do show us are GOOD. The dialogue seems natural, the characters are believable... I don't understand why you seem to be shying away from doing more of it, when you've proven that you know how.
Sorry if it seems like I'm bashing you; that isn't my intent at all. I see the start of a good story here, and I look forward to reading further, but that one glaring issue is really working against the rest. I'm hoping you moved into a more visual and intimate sort of storytelling as you went on; guess the way to find out is to click the 'next chapter' button.
Comments from author:
How nice to know that people still enjoy this, and that this version of Dawn seems right to you.
You are quite right - there was, indeed, a good deal of 'setting up' done in those early chapters to fill in those ten years.
I think you may well find more happening 'on screen' as the story progresses, hopefully enough to please you and for you to continue reading, but, to be quite honest, I am unlikely to make any major changes to this story now.
Although my beta and I were talking, recently, about going back to this story-line, and a follow-up that we began as co-authors but did not finish, which is why it isn't posted here. One of the things we were considering was how much might need revising bearing in mind that technology has advance even further than I predicted when I wrote this in 2005. So a couple of minor changes may get made sometime in the future. Perhaps when I finish The Valinor Trail.

Review of chapter "Chapter Twenty Two... some time later." from
I just registered with this site so that I could come on here and write you a review. I LOVE this story!! I was searching yesterday in my boredom for some Dawn-Spike stuff, and came across a few fanfic that were corny, cute, but obviously written by someone who didn't have too much experience weaving a story for others to read. I found yours and honestly, I just clicked the link because it was the longest story I could find. (I hate to read short stories) I was blown away at how professional it sounded, the words, the way you put things together and made me feel like I was there...I thought I was holding a book that I had purchased. I loved what you did for the characters (I always thought that Spike and Dawn would have made a great couple). I really hated seeing THE END. All good things must come to an end, but I really hope that you someday decide to pick this story up again. If in a perfect world you could print these, I would buy them in a heartbeat!
I will now be checking out everything else you have written about the Buffy verse.
Comments from author:
Thank you so much - it is the first long piece of fic that I wrote, a while before I put it here, and so it is lovely that people enjoy it.
As for a sequel - there are over 57,000 words of a sequel co-written with my husband (Speaker to Customers), but not posted here because it is unfinished as both of us got caught up in other projects. I promise that if we finish it I will post it, but until we seem to be well underway with it again I won't, as I hate unfinished stories that sit, with no conclusion, for years!
However, I have just spoken to him about it, and he says "Yes - we really should get back to it... perhaps next weekend." (He's working this weekend.) So when you see 'New Story - Access All Areas' you will know that it IS going to be completed!
In the meantime, the project I got caught up in is here at TtH; it is a genuine cross-over (hence posted before this one) in which I decided to take Dawn somewhere else...
Not a Dawn/Spike romance - but you might enjoy it anyway. Return of The Key starts about 3/4 way through 'Chosen' and the action takes place half in Sunnydale - and half in Middle Earth.

Great story. Always thought Dawn and Spike belonged together more than Buffy and Spike.
Comments from author:
Thank you - I thought they really should work well together - once she grew up a bit. I'm really glad that you agree.

Review of chapter "Chapter Twenty Two... some time later." from
Congrats on getting a 10. I'll admit I don't give out 6's or lower very often. If its that bad I don't read much beyond the first page. Only finished stories get 10s though. And this is a good one. I'll be checking out your other stories now. I'm fairly new to this site.
Comments from author:
Thank you so much for your kind review, I am really happy that you enjoyed the story. I do try to be writing only one, or at most two, stories at a time, and have them planned out to the end before I start posting them, because I really like to see that 'completed; yes' at the end of things that I read myself!
Have a good time finding lots of wonderful things on TtH - and I hope that you do read, and enjoy, my other stories.

Nice story. A number of twists and turns. Not normally a pairing I like to see but it works. Nice resolution with the key stuff.

Thank you for taking the time to review; I really appreciate it. It isn't a pairing I like, a lot of the time, either so I am glad that it works for you, too, here!

Review of chapter "Chapter Twenty Two... some time later." from
I do hope you had a fabulous time at WriterCon UK!
Thanks so much for writing this story and providing such a very satisfying ending! (Though, if you're ever inspired to write a sequel, detailing the further adventures of Spike and Dawn, I certainly wouldn't complain!)
Comments from author:
WriterConUK was really good fun. It is a small event - under 30 of us, but it is so nice to be geeky and fannish with like-minded people. Especially as the age range is across over 40 years, and it just doesn't matter!
As for the story - thank you so much for all the feedback - I have really appreciated it.
The possibility of a sequel is a bit - um - difficult to predict. My beta (Speaker to Customers) and I actually began to co-write one, over on Live Journal, but it stalled as we both got involved with other things. I won't post it here unless we are writing it again. So, if you ever do see Access All Areas here, you'll know it is going to be completed!

This has been so very lovely to read. Your take on the future of Dawn and Spike (and Willow, and Buffy, and Giles...) is delightful. I'm so glad you shared this story with us!

Review of chapter "Chapter Twenty Two... some time later." from
Even these new trains still had a rhythm to them, and this one was saying 'Gonna see Dawn, gonna see Dawn, gonna see Dawn…----- this is such a rich observation; one that I can imagine while I read.
He had asked Dawn for them--- haha, I forgot how Spike likes his panties! (thinking of him stealing Buffy's in S5)
usually four to five pints – by the time that much had been taken most victims' hearts had stopped, and so had their circulation.---interesting factoid
looked at his watch again, and tried to think about meeting Giles.---haha! This WOULD put a stop to any sexy feelings ;)
and pictures of Buffy had been confined to the living roomIt said a lot for the reformed Watchers Council that there had been no dissent, and no queries at all, about providing body-temperature blood for Spike to dip his onion bhajis in.---- nice; I love reading post-Chosen stories about the nicer, reformed council ;)
Dawn's portal demonstration—SO COOl and I love how you described it! And what she got! Haha
to use a well know phrase, that the power was strong in me."--- *grins geekily*
She stumbled over Giles' name, and Dawn smiled – Mhairi could never quite decide between Mr. Giles, Rupert, or plain Giles.--- heehee, I imagine many *new* Watcher's Council ppl who hang with the Scoobies would have that problem!
'Prince Albert of Protection from Sunlight'---- HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And I LOVE the way the auras were described and that Spike will get a new prezzie!!
"How are you, and by the way thank you for burning to death at Sunnydale, I was certainly wrong to want you dusted before the big battle,"---- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA Ohhhh tooo funny; and true!
'Yeah – definitely gravely – Watchers can probably listen more gravely than anyone else – must ask Dawn if they give them lessons in it,'--- *snicker* truuuue
If it wasn't for Dawn he would have loved to find out if a threesome was out of the question...--- hahahahaha, oh Spike!
in front of The Watcher – he hadn't known whether to kiss her, or strangle the bloody little minx with them!---- hahahaha!
Wow, I really, *really* adored this story – you did an EXCELLENT job. Once again, you have proven yourself to be one of my favorite authors and I thank you for posting this and introducing me to the lovely pairing that is Spike/Dawn. Not to mention, I still thank you for your earlier works that made me change my negative opinion of Dawn and now she is one of my favorite people to read and write about :)
I look forward to the sequel!
Comments from author:
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this story, and those bits of this chapter in particular. Some of those are definitely my own favourite bits, too.
As for more - I have a Returnverse story ready to start posting, probably on Sunday 15th, so it is back to Middle Earth for now!
There will not be a sequel to this one, at least for some time. My beta (Speaker to Customers) and I have one that we were co-writing - it is 17 chapters long and likely to reach 20 to 25 chapters; but it has stalled, as we both began other projects, and we won't post it here until we get on with writing it again, as I hate the idea of leaving it here never completed...

Review of chapter "Chapter Twenty" from
Dawn's reflection on her role in relation to Buffy was fascinating. I think she's right. Buffy certainly was the sun that everyone revolved around. And now, no matter how much she always said she wanted to be "just a normal girl", it's got to sting a little that Dawn's star is rising while her's is fading. And to lose Spike's adoration as well... happily married or not, it had to be a boost to the ego to think he was always out there pining for her.
Comments from author:
Thank you. That is exactly how I saw it. And the knowledge that, somewhere, there was a vampire who was pining for you, saw you as the love of his life, must have been a real ego boost when life was just a bit too 'ordinary'.

"Maybe the fact that all three of those relationships that didn't work had you as the common factor in them should tell you something..."
Best. Line. Ever!!
I've been waiting years for Spike to get to that point.

Thank you! The ten year gap gives him long enough to look back objectively...

Cosco Container Lines and China Shipping Container Lines are looking to expand their vessel-sharing agreements on China coastal and intra-Asia trade lanes to other routes, said Capt. Wei Jiafu, chairman of the Cosco Group
The two Chinese carriers are discussing the possibility of extending their cooperation to the trans-Pacific and the Asia-Europe trades, Wei said in an interview on the eve of the 12th annual Journal of Commerce Trans-Pacific Maritime Conference in Long Beach.
"China Shipping and Cosco are both Chinese companies, so why not shake hands," Wei said. "We shake hands with Hanjin and "K" Line and Yang Ming in the CKYH alliance so why not shake hands with China Shipping? We are brothers."
He said the closer cooperation between China's two major container lines had come about because of changes in top management. Wei said the president of China Shipping, Xu Lirong, had been Cosco's vice president and the new president of Cosco, Ma Zehua, is a former vice president of China Shipping.
Wei, the keynote speaker at the opening day of the TPM Conference, said the losses reported by most major carriers last year means carriers need to start cooperating more with each other and with their shipper customers to avoid future losses and stabilize freight rates. "Both sides need to collaborate on reasonable freight rates for long-term strategic reasons," he said.
Cosco has started negotiating multiyear contracts of up to 10 years with Chinese importers and exporters that provide what he called a "small" profit margin for the carrier. If carriers continue to "bleed" red ink as they did last year, some small and medium-sized carriers will either go out of business or be acquired by other lines, he said.
"Some mergers could occur as soon as this year," Wei said. "Some banks will push them to get together."
Cosco is increasing the volume of cargo it transports to the Midwest through the Canadian Port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia because of the low intermodal rates charges by Canadian National Railway.
"The costs through Prince Rupert are much lower than through U.S. East Coast ports, and the railway costs are much higher through U.S. West Coasts ports," he said. "A shipping company has no other choice. It is always looking for lower costs."

(Updates with closing share prices in fourth paragraph.)
Oct. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Eni SpA, Italy's biggest oil company, found natural gas off Mozambique in a field that may hold enough to supply the U.K. for more than four years and would be the explorer's largest operated discovery.
Eni made the find with the first exploration well in Area 4 in which it has a 70 percent stake, it said in a statement in Milan. Galp Energia SA, Korea Gas Corp., and ENH each have a 10 percent stake in the area. The well is located under 1,585 meters (5,200 feet) of water and encountered 212 meters of continuous gas pay.
"The resource potential assessed with the first exploration well makes it the largest operated discovery in the company's exploration history," Eni said in the statement. "The exploration success in Mozambique expands the leadership of Eni in Africa by opening a new eastern front of activities."
Eni rose 0.6 percent to the highest since July to close at 15.82 euros in Milan. Galp rose 2.8 percent in Lisbon. The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 1.5 percent.
The block may hold at least 15 trillion cubic feet of gas, equivalent to about 340 million metric tons of the fuel, Eni said. The company will drill to a depth of 5,000 meters, after which the rig will move to a second well in the prospect.
The size of the discovery will lead to a large-scale development that will produce liquefied natural gas for export, Eni said. LNG production will likely start by 2020, Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. analyst Oswald Clint said in a research note.

Using a myriad of observatories across the world, NASA captured the explosion in unprecedented detail. The information obtained by the space agency could lead to a better understanding of what induces these eruptions and how scientists can better anticipate the likelihood of radio blackouts on Earth.
These solar flares occur when clouds of plasma are released by the sun into space at a speed of more than one million miles per hour. Therefore, their effects can cause significant damage if they reach Earth, disrupting the planet's magnetic fields. At the moment, there are few devices that monitor solar activity directly.

A Slow Life ~ Live It
What if we started each day as a clean slate, forgetting 'who we are, what we have become and what we know ourselves to be'? What if we were to experience the world and our surroundings as innocently as a child, all of our senses acutely aware and open? I have been exploring this way of experiencing life within my community and among my travels. I am learning, through simple ignorance, brilliant happenings occur. I will call these happenings peak experiences. First one must slow down enough to be aware. Truly to be a part of one's surroundings. In this way we may understand/sense the energy/issues which are present and then intuitively know how to go about making change. We will sense the smallest of innuendos in a gesture or comment. As I speak of we, it is 'we', the women/girls of this day. I feel that we MUST take the time to know this way of being, this slow self, who first knows and understands that in this stillness/slowness you are a part of ALL and their is no separation. I also believe that this is innate within us as women, and if we do not remember or feel this, than it is time to reconnect to your source. It is there! In following this inner guide/voice, these peak experiences become a part of daily life. We become omnipresent, at one with the world. It doesn't take a large amount of time, it does take an open mind and heart, because in this experience we are led and guided. There are no mistakes, there are no wrong directions. What is created is an opening where an event, divinely orchestrated, may happen. The event may be as simple as making a phone call to a friend or family member who appeared in your dreams the night before...and as they hear your voice their world lights up, because they needed a friend and someone to listen or give guidance. No matter the magnitude of the sharing or exchange, it will heal and and it will change. We will hear and we will know.
It is my belief as women, we are the guides to this new way of being and change. We are designed to birth and nurture our visions and dreams to fruition. We do it every day! As we take the time to allow these experience/miracles to happen and share with the men in our life, whether they be sons, husbands, brothers, friends or leaders, they too will see this connection and once understood a new respect will be founded. Respect is key in this dynamic. We revere that which we respect and this reverence for one another will change the language we have spoken for decades. It will open a new dialogue for peace. Eyes and hearts will open and soften...and the journey, together, unified as one within our communities and world, will become a healthier, more peaceful planet. No country, or state as a boundary. No us or them. One World!
The opportunity to become one of the Voices of Our Correspondent for PulseWire, will enable me to continue to share on a broader level, the gift and honor of being woman in this time. My life experience is forever altered as I know such beauty and confidence in taking part in this universal dance. If you have ever seen or heard the phrase "slow food", which means basically, hand prepared the old fashioned way...I move to the beat of "slow life". I know what I bring forward has meaning, value and will have an impact for change because I have learned to know and trust that I am following my heart and what my heart knows, needs to be heard!
Thank you for sharing your
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on slowing down and truly appreciating life. I especially liked it when you said, "I move to the beat of "slow life". I know what I bring forward has meaning, value and will have an impact for change because I have learned to know and trust that I am following my heart and what my heart knows, needs to be heard!
Keep listening and sharing your voice!
All the best,
In reading your post, I get a clear sense of the passion you feel for what you call the "slow life" and the yearning to teach it to or share it with others. I hope you do! This world definitely needs more "slowness"...
All the best to you,

Welcome to AIOLife.com! At AIO Life we are dedicated to help you achieve a healthier and more rewarding life. Our bodies posess an amazing natural ability to regenerate and heal itself. This regenerative abilites are enabled by master cells available throughout our body, our adult stem cells. These adult stem cells can potentially become any type of cells in our bodies such as skin, hair, bone, ligaments, blood, even nerve and brain. Your stem cells repair and renew other cells in your body that are damaged or dead. Unfortunately, due to prolonged exposure to various chemicals and environmental pollutions in our daily lives, our bodies deteriorate at a much faster rate than their ability to regenerate. This is the reason why our bodies age and become more susceptible to illnesses. We spend so much time focused on things that are affecting our outward appearance. We wash our face, brush our teeth, color our hair, but what do we do on a daily basis to protect our bodies from the inside? What do we do to insure that our adult stem cells are able to perform optimally in regenerating and healing our bodies? If there was a simple solution, provided by nature, that optimizes your adult stem cell functions and your body's regenerative abilities, would you take it? AIO Life is an authorized independent distributor of a revolutionary natural supplement ââ¬â AIO Premium Cellular Health. This nutraceutical supplement was specifically designed in conjunction with a leading company in adult stem cell research & storage to optimize your body's adult stem cell functions.

December 20, 2014
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Newt Gingrich isn't holding back in his criticism of the Cabinet secretary and others behind the troubled rollout of the health care law.
The former House speaker and Republican presidential candidate says Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other Democrats are "nut-cake ideologues" and less than competent.
Gingrich is among the prominent Republicans appearing at a gathering of conservatives in New Hampshire on Saturday.
Gingrich and other speakers attacked the health law - and a central piece of the GOP's strategy heading into the fall elections.
Sebelius just announced that she's leaving the Obama administration.
The White House says 7.5 million people signed up for coverage under the health overhaul despite the glitches.

NOTE: I recently published a review of Marty Seligman's new book, Flourish, in the journal Nature. It had to be significanctly abridged, and I provide the original version below.
The premise of positive psychological science - that it is equally important to investigate wellness as it is to study misery - is no longer unfamiliar to the general public. In his most personal and boldest book to date, University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin Seligman takes readers on a captivating tour of the latest and greatest in this rapidly growing field. Flourish offers insights accumulated over a long and storied career - one that has put the author in the same room as billionaire philanthropists, British lords, Army generals, Australian school kids, and thousands of scientists, educators, physicians, and mental health professionals. Seligman offers gems of wisdom in this book, along with audacious opinions that leave one unsurprised as to why he has attracted both legions of followers and high-profile critics from Barbara Ehrenreich to Jane Mayer.

Knight's Takeover Attempt Behind It, USA Truck Will End 'Poison Pill' Plan
by Marty Cook
Posted 4/10/2014 10:53 am
Updated 8 months ago
USA Truck of Van Buren said Thursday that it will end its shareholders rights plan at the end of business Friday.
The publicly traded trucking company adopted the plan in November 2012 to protect itself from hostile takeover bids while the company attempted a turnaround.
The so-called "poison pill" provision would have kicked in when an investor obtained more than 15 percent of USA Truck stock and allowed other shareholders to purchase an additional $24 worth of shares at a 50 percent discount.
"We're pulling it down," Cliff Beckham, the company's CFO, told Arkansas Business. "It has served its purpose. It protected shareholders from being robbed."
The plan was scheduled to run until November 2014 unless shareholders voted to extend it at the firm's annual meeting in May. The USA Truck board of directors decided to end the plan in a vote announced Thursday.
USA Truck stock (Nasdaq: USAK) closed at $15.82 on Wednesday and was up more than five percent Thursday after the announcement of the plan's early termination.
"With the turnaround well underway, and with our stock price having appreciated well above the price existing at the time of the Plan's adoption, the Plan has served its intended purpose," board Chairman Robert A. Peiser said in a statement. "The Board's decision to terminate the Plan demonstrates our confidence in the Company's management team, ongoing strategy and employees."
Officials said they knew of no pending takeover bid when the firm adopted the plan in 2012. But in September 2013, Knight Transportation Inc. of Phoenix announced it had offered $9 a share and the assumption of $147 million in debt to take over the company. USA Truck rejected the offer.
At the time of Knight's announcement, USA Truck shares were trading at $6.46. Knight soon increased its holdings to 1.3 million shares, or 12.4 percent of the company.
USA Truck filed a lawsuit against Knight that was settled in February when Knight ended its takeover attempt. As part of the settlement, Knight agreed to not acquire any more shares until September and to vote its shares according to the board of directors' recommendations at the May meeting.
While USA Truck was holding Knight at bay, two other investors bought large amounts of USA Truck stock, while staying below the 15 percent threshold. Stone House Capital owns 1.5 million (14.7 percent) shares and Baker Street Capital owns 1.4 million (13.3 percent).

Male stripper did nursing home show
WEST BABYLON, N.Y. — An 85-year-old nursing home patient was the victim of "disgraceful sexual perversion" when a male stripper gyrated in front of her against her will at the suburban New York facility, an attorney for the woman's family said Tuesday.
John Ray, the attorney for Bernice Youngblood and her family, displayed a picture of a man in white briefs dancing in front of the woman at East Neck Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in September 2012.
