Back Yard Bouldering
My back yard bouldering wall that I built with my roommate, we just completed it this weekend (1/06/07). It took three months working sparingly on the weekends when we where not climbing or working. The wall is attached to a children's play fort with chains, quick links, grade five bolts and metollius hangars.

Severe Abdominal Pains
Can anyone advise me on this issue with regards getting severe abdominal pains when running.
For the last I'd say 4 years or so I have been experiencing severe abdominal pain whilst running. Having really started to listen to my body, it seem to be after about 10 minutes and tends to be when my breathing starts to ease, say if I am climbing a hill and at the top, as my breathing starts to return to a slower pace, I get the most severe abdominal cramps and the only way of releasing this pain is to go to the toilet, at which point I can be sat there for about 10 minutes and I will pass a very small amount of a number 2 and after that I can run for hours on end with no issues. I tend to suffer with this more during weeks 2 and 3 of my menstrual cycle however it has started coming on in week 4.
I have had abdominal scans from the hospital and bloods taken which have all come back fine. I am due at the hospital for a consultation shortly but really wanted to know if anyone else had experienced this and what it may be?
Thanks in advance for any advise you can offer.
Sounds like a variety of good ol' runner's trots, which remains a bit of an unsolved mystery I'm afraid. People get them - and try to prevent them - in a variety of ways (avoiding certain trigger foods which can be all sorts of things, wheat, caffeine, onions, .... other stuff ), immodium, anti-IBS meds like Buscopan or Colofac, or just doing a short run + pit stop before every run.
Good luck :/
Hi Clare, I can relate to this, had the same problem to the point where I made sure a loo was en route after 30-45 minutes of a run. I went for a food allergy test and was shocked by the results...in summary I was mildly intolerant of things I had been eating before my runs to boost energy. Have cut them out and now I don't have the problem. Might be worth a go for you ? Best of Luck.
This sounds remarkably similar to my symptoms before I discovered I was Gluten Intolerant. Sometimes I had so much pain I couldn't sleep at night. I would run with the most diabloical knotted cramps in my guts that sooner or later would work through the system.
The symptoms for Coeliac's Disease are very irregular and it is therefore quite hard to diagnose. But just avoiding all foodstuffs with gluten in for one week and you'll know for sure whether this is an issue or not. I felt like I won my life back when I finally worked out what had been plaguing me for years.
Good luck Claire.
Thanks guys ) Also reading some previous advice re runners trots mentioned about being dehydrated...so I am going to ensure I drink lots and lots before embarking on my run at lunch tomorrow and see how I get on.
I did wonder before going to the doctors whether it was the runners trots you hear about but I was a bit concerned with it being so much based around my menstrual cycle....so thought its best to check it out.
Will keep you posted on the medical front and try to keep an eye on my food intake so help me pinpoint if it is something I am eating.
Fido2Dogs wrote (see)
...doing a short run + pit stop before every run.
...doing a short run + pit stop before every run.
Yup, I was going to suggest that. If your cramps come on within 10mins and are solved by going to the loo, a quick pre-run sprint round the block a few times won't solve the overall problem but at least it'll get you sorted out and able to relax a bit more before you start your actual run. It's no fun shuffling along in agony but trying to look casual and keep your bum clamped shut at the same time and worrying how embarrassing it would be if you had to make an emergency poo-stop in front of people...
Hope you find the cause of it soon...

Common Cause Binds American
At its sprawling maintenance base in Fort Worth, Texas, American Airlines is demonstrating that it isn't always necessary to follow the pack.
American is not only the world's largest airline, it's also in many respects the most innovative of the major U.S. carriers. American, a unit of AMR (AMR), is the only one of the six major legacy carriers that has never sought bankruptcy court protection, and today it's embracing an effort at cooperation between labor and management that's unprecedented in the industry.
Moreover, despite a nationwide trend toward outsourcing, American is moving to bring more work in house. Its mechanics work not just on the AMR fleet but also on planes operated by others.
"You're standing in the only active, open, full-up running 777 heavy maintenance facility in North America," Peter Sirucek, the American managing director who oversees the Fort Worth base, said during an interview at the base. "No one else is doing it."Last month, a team of Fort Worth managers, union leaders and workers agreed to work together to generate $400 million in new revenue and cost savings by the end of 2008. Combined with the goals at American's two other principal maintenance bases -- $500 million from the Tulsa base by the end of 2006, and another $150 million by the end of next year at the Kansas City facility -- the total benefit would be about $1 billion.
Local InputAMR's shares, which closed Monday at $24.51, have risen steadily since reaching a 52-week low of $10 in September. The airline's cost-reduction efforts have contributed, along with the overall industry's rising demand and reduced capacity. Last week, Standard & Poor's boosted its ratings on AMR's credit. "The upgrade reflects improving earnings and cash flow prospects, driven by better revenue generation and ongoing cost-cutting efforts, which have more than offset the effect of high fuel prices," wrote S&P analyst Philip Baggaley.

Massachusetts lawmakers, in an effort to avert a looming strike at Amtrak and Consolidated Rail Corp., are telling the two companies they should not expect Congress to stop a shutdown.
Instead, the lawmakers are directing the companies to settle their labor conflicts themselves.A letter sent by the entire Massachusetts House delegation warned the carriers that Congress is in no mood to settle the disputes, especially in the wake of last year's nationwide rail strike.
The letter, disclosed publicly on Monday by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes, said:
"We are deeply disappointed with the conditions imposed . . . last year. We are simply unwilling to impose similar conditions again."
The letter, addressed to James Hagen, Conrail president, and W. Graham Claytor, Amtrak's president, also said, "Congress should not be seen as a vehicle which management or labor can use to escape confronting these difficult issues."
The BMWE has been in negotiations with Conrail and Amtrak since 1988. It said a strike could take place as early as June 24 on one or both railroads if no settlement is reached.
At Amtrak, where wages are 12 percent lower than on other rails, and where BMWE members' pay averages $21,000 a year, the top issue is wages.

5 of the best things about Classic Peru
As expected, my Classic Peru trip with Intrepid was a phenomenal mix of culture – including Lima, the food mecca of Latin America; Cuzco, the ancient Inka capital of South America; and the islands of Lake Titicaca, which seemed to me a blast from the past as they really have not adopted much of our modern world.
Some of my favorite stops along the way included:

Travel Fit: 6 ways to keep your game on while globetrotting
After five years of sprints, squats and step curls – give or take a few weeks on travels when there hasn't been a group cycle class to jump in on – a fellow fitness enthusiast recently asked me "Why do you exercise?"
Honestly, I had never contemplated this question before. In five whole years I had not thought about why I put my body through rigorous lobster-face inducing workouts. As we were lying in our dormitory on an adventure through Western Australia, I had to really contemplate my answer. Was it because I loved the freedom of wearing crazy neon vest tops and printed leggings? Was it the weight loss? Was it because of the endorphins? Was it because I suddenly had a whole new group of friends who were all as mad about exercise as me? Or was it the competition with myself?
Why Colombians love ants with big arses
If you love trying new things, then you'll definitely want to get your teeth into hormigas culonas. This literally translates to 'ants with a large arse' but don't let that put you off!
To try this special snack you will have to go to South America and arrive in Colombia, a country famous for its rare fauna and flora, and maybe its ants.

Tips for solo female travellers in India
Chaotic and bamboozling, travelling in India can be confronting, even for the experienced traveller. The reality for solo female travellers is it can be even more challenging, but don't let that put you off exploring incredible India.
This amazing country is so full of colour, fascinating people, religious icons, ancient sites, fabulous street food and diverse landscapes. India is everything and more, and all at once. You wouldn't want to miss this sensory overload of saris, sacred cows, slums, spices, car horns and incense!
Does a Thailand holiday live up to family expectations?
Since the birth of our little one five years ago, our adventurous travels have been restricted to camping trips at one end of the scale and to all-inclusive family holiday resorts in the Algarve at the other. But with our youngest reaching the trip minimum age of 5, we decided to book Intrepid's Thailand Family Holiday – Land of Smiles.
I began reading the trip notes that I downloaded and my excitement was building around seeing the elephant sanctuary, hill top temples and exploring the khlongs of Bangkok. But there was also some nagging concerns about travelling on holiday as a family.

Each one is a different chanllege. Getting to recognise the capabilities and signals that each one shows is time consuming and to some there is not much reward. But to see the look in some kids eye that says "you get me" can mean a lot to others.
i personally think it's a dumb question sorry to say one child is no diffrent then the other these children just need extra attention and care no diffrent then the way we love our own child i hate it when people tease them.these children just want a chance at a normal life as much as they possibly can just like any other child deserves they deserve the right to enjoy life to the fullest as anyone else does it's just a little harder for them to reach for their goal
it was my opinion wasn't trying to offend anyone
I worked with retarded and handicapped children via UCP and WORC and other than their mental and physical limitations I found then no different than anyone else.
not uncomfortable my mom workes specially with a special needs girl names Asia who has Cerebral Palsy and It hurts somwhere in me...like my heart maybe. I just feel really sad like i wanna cry because some of the kids will never be able to run outside and play tag....and that part gets to me...
Note the Avatar , this is my range of vision , all of my 8.000 online students have Dyslexia which at one time was thought to be a mental handicap as they all read and write <<<sdrawkcaB <<< , Many of them have an I Q score of 192 - 220 , I am also Color blind . Paschar ( Vision ) aka Professor S.D. Waner phd The writing down at the bottom to the right
Honestly , yes a little. I'm just worried they'll get hurt or need something and I won't kniw what to do or understand what they need. I feel the same way about small children that don't speak yet.
Yes. Totally. It feels uncomfortable and awkward knowing that I have every good thing god gave me and am not trying to do anything with my life.. them on the other hand get over zealous about everything.<br />
It makes me angry with myself.

You almost made me drop my glass filled with alcohol... the little American in me died a little. You guys didnt save as from the Spaniards, we kinda kicked their asses and they were the ones who begged the Americans to step in. Thus, our pretty long conflict AKA The Philippine American War, AKA The Philippine Insurrection, AKA Damn Whitey made us their *****.
Thus after beating the west into us, we kinda became that battered chick who keeps saying "they hurt us cause they love us." The Japanese came in to try and you know save us, not knowing we were still Asians and there is nothing more racist than an Asian to another Asian, so we kinda screwed up their plan. Till our whitey came back.
So BFF, oh hell yeah... wanna stomp a Filipino? Ask him this question "If you can choose to remain independent or be an American state what would you rather be?" We would be more conflicted than a fat kid in an Las Vegas buffet.
Good evening.

About the Author
James Rollins is the New York Times bestseller of thrillers translated into forty languages. His Sigma series has been lauded as one of the "top crowd pleasers" (New York Times) and one of the "hottest summer reads" (People Magazine). Acclaimed for his originality, Rollins unveils unseen worlds, scientific breakthroughs, and historical secrets—and he does it all at breakneck speed.
Rebecca Cantrell's Hannah Vogel mystery novels have won the Bruce Alexander and Macavity awards and been nominated for the Barry and Romantic Times Reviewers Choice awards; her critically-acclaimed novel, iDrakula, was nominated for the APPY award and listed on Booklist's Top 10 Horror Fiction for Youth. She and her husband and son just left Hawaii's sunny shores for adventures in Berlin.
Praise for The Doomsday Key: A Sigma Force Novel…
"This guy doesn't write novels—he builds roller coasters....Rollins excels at combining action and history with larger-than-life characters....A must for pure action fans."
"Rollins's prose explodes off the page in a twisty and compelling thriller....Swashbuckling adventure, elite team effort, and religious symbology all add up to another gripping andterrifying read....An amazing and brilliant technothriller that might be his best to date.
-Library Journal (starred review)

- 1693 --- "The Ladies' Mercury" was published by John Dunton in London. It was the first women's magazine and contained a "question and answer" column that became known as a "problem page."
- 1787 --- Edward Gibbon completed "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." It was published the following May.
- 1829 --- In Genoa, Italy, English scientist James Smithson dies after a long illness, leaving behind a will with a peculiar footnote. In the event that his only nephew died without any heirs, Smithson decreed that the whole of his estate would go to "the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an Establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge." Smithson's curious bequest to a country that he had never visited aroused significant attention on both sides of the Atlantic. Smithson had been a fellow of the venerable Royal Society of London from the age of 22, publishing numerous scientific papers on mineral composition, geology, and chemistry. In 1802, he overturned popular scientific opinion by proving that zinc carbonates were true carbonate minerals, and one type of zinc carbonate was later named smithsonite in his honor. Six years after his death, his nephew, Henry James Hungerford, indeed died without children, and on July 1, 1836, the U.S. Congress authorized acceptance of Smithson's gift. President Andrew Jackson sent diplomat Richard Rush to England to negotiate for transfer of the funds, and two years later Rush set sail for home with 11 boxes containing a total of 104,960 gold sovereigns, eight shillings, and seven pence, as well as Smithson's mineral collection, library, scientific notes, and personal effects. After the gold was melted down, it amounted to a fortune worth well over $500,000. After considering a series of recommendations, including the creation of a national university, a public library, or an astronomical observatory, Congress agreed that the bequest would support the creation of a museum, a library, and a program of research, publication, and collection in the sciences, arts, and history. On August 10, 1846, the act establishing the Smithsonian Institution was signed into law by President James K. Polk.
- 1844 --- Joseph Smith, the founder and leader of the Mormon religion, is murdered along with his brother Hyrum when an anti-Mormon mob breaks into a jail where they are being held in Carthage, Illinois.
- 1893 --- The melody of 'Happy Birthday to You' was first published ('Good Morning to All').
- 1893 --- The New York stock market crashed. By the end of the year 600 banks and 74 railroads had gone out of business.
- 1944 --- American forces completed their capture of the French port of Cherbourg from the Germans three weeks after D-Day.
- 1962 --- Two albums of melancholy music by Jackie Gleason received gold record honors. Music, Martinis and Memories and Music for Lovers Only got the gold. Both were issued by Capitol Records in Hollywood.
- 1963 --- President John Kennedy an Irish-American and the first Catholic to become president of the United States, arrives in Ireland for a visit on this day in 1963. Kennedy was proud of his Irish roots and made a special visit to his ancestral home in Dunganstown, County Wexford, while in the country. There, he was greeted by a crowd waving both American and Irish flags and was serenaded by a boys choir that sang "The Boys of Wexford." According to the BBC report that day, Kennedy broke away from his bodyguards and joined the choir for the second chorus, prompting misty-eyed reactions from both observers and the press. Kennedy met with 15 members of his extended Irish family at the Kennedy homestead in Dunganstown. There he enjoyed a cup of tea and some cake and made a toast to "all those Kennedys who went and all those Kennedys who stayed." His great-grandfather Thomas Fitzgerald had left Ireland for the United States in the middle of the Great Famine of 1848 and settled in Boston, becoming a cooper. Generations of his descendants went on to make their mark on American politics.
- 1967 --- The world's first cash dispenser was installed at Barclays Bank in Enfield, England. The device was invented by John Sheppard-Barron. The machine operated on a voucher system and the maximum withdrawal was $28.
- 1969 --- New York City police, attempting to serve a search warrant, charged into the well-known gay hangout, the Stonewall Inn. Events quickly got out of hand. Police ejected customers, managers, bouncers. Everyone got booted outside onto the sidewalk. The crowd became increasingly unruly and someone threw a bottle at the police. The plain-clothes police team was trapped inside the bar for over two hours before the the NYPD Tactical Patrol Force arrived and drove the mob from in front of the Stonewall. Police arrested and jailed many of the chanting gays. For the next few nights, the Stonewall Inn became the focal point of gay protests. The gay community began to organize and form committees to bring about change. Many feel that the Gay Liberation Movement had its beginnings with the Stonewall Inn Riots.
- 1971 --- Promoter Bill Graham closed the Fillmore East in New York City. It was a spin-off of San Francisco's legendary rock 'n' roll palace, Fillmore West (closed several days later). The Allman Brothers and J. Geils Band were among those performing on the final night. The New York City landmark and its San Francisco sister hosted just about every major rock group of the 1960s.
- 1976 --- A factory storekeeper in the Nzara township of Sudan becomes ill on this day in 1976. Five days later, he dies, and the world's first recorded Ebola virus epidemic begins making its way through the area. By the time the epidemic is over, 284 cases are reported, with about half of the victims dying from the disease.
- 1980 --- The the National Anthem Act, making O Canada Canada's national anthem, was unanimously accepted by the House of Commons and the Senate. Royal assent was also given this day. O Canada, written by Calixa Lavallee and Adolphe-Basile Routhier, was officially proclaimed Canada's national anthem on July 1, 1980.
- 1984 --- The Federal Communications Commission moved to deregulate U.S. commercial TV by lifting most programming requirements and ending day-part restrictions on advertising.
- 1985 --- After 59 years, the iconic Route 66 enters the realm of history on this day in 1985, when the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials decertifies the road and votes to remove all its highway signs. Measuring some 2,200 miles in its heyday, Route 66 stretched from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California, passing through eight states. According to a New York Times article about its decertification, most of Route 66 followed a path through the wilderness forged in 1857 by U.S. Navy Lieutenant Edward Beale at the head of a caravan of camels. Over the years, wagon trains and cattlemen eventually made way for trucks and passenger automobiles.
- 2000 --- A San Francisco appeals court ruled that the Rolling Stones improperly borrowed "Love in Vain and "Stop Breakin' Down" from Robert Johnson. The Stones' former record label had wrongly assumed that the songs were public domain.
- 2011 --- Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was convicted by a federal jury in Chicago of corruption. (He was later sentenced to 14 years in prison.)

Jaipur Travel Guide
Jaipur Local History
Jaipur, meaning City of Victory was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh, who ruled from 1699 to 1744. The city was divided into nine sectors, two of which were reserved for the city palace complex, the remaining seven for the public. The city was encircled by a wall, which had several gates or darwazas. In 1728 the founder built a remarkable observatory, which is still one of the city's main attractions.
The city is noted for its cultural and architectural beauty, which you struggle to find on this scale in other cities.

Hawa Mahal This is a series of pink sandstone screens that was constructed so that the ladies of the palace could watch the royal processions without themselves being seen by outsiders. The edifice was named Palace of Winds after the many brass wind vanes that adorned it until the 1960's.
The City Palace Covering almost one seventh of the city, it has been mostly converted into a museum, except for a small portion used by the Jaipur Royal Family as a residence. A major feature of the museum is its exhibit devoted to the arms and ammunition used by the royal family in the past.
Jantar Mantar This is the largest stone observatory in the world. Before construction was started, emissaries were sent to all corners of the world to bring back cutting edge technology and designs, which were meticulously followed during construction. The effort paid off with the observatory being highly regarded. The observatory contains eighteen large instruments, many still in working order.
Rajasthan Small Scale Cottage Industries Jaipur the pink city is full of historical monuments and temples which wide visitors. Besides other places "Amber Fort" is an important historical world famous monument. Amber fort is situated on the top of Aravali chains of mountains. R.S.S.C.I. is situated at the foothills of this fort in a peaceful surrounding with the scenery of beautiful nature. It is close to "Meera Temple" and about half a kilometer away from "Sagar Dam". R.S.S.C.I. is the famous oldest cottage industry promoting Rajasthan Art and Craft from the last 35 years. It is perhaps the key industry to promote the artisians in Rajasthani Traditional Art. With the passage of time it has added many feathers to its cap.

Amber Fort (Jaipur) Amber is located at a distance of 11 kilometers from Jaipur and was the old fort of the Kachhwaha clan of Amber, which used to be the capital, till it was moved to Jaipur.
The construction of the Amber Fort began in the year 1592 and was started by Man Singh I, but it was finished by his descendant Jai Singh I. The exterior of the Fort is not in the least like its interiors. The outside is very imposing and rugged looking whereas the inside is a comforting and warm interior which is influenced by both Hindu and Muslim style of ornamentation. On the walls, are paintings depicting various hunting scenes, and there is also a lot of work on walls,
which are covered with intricate carving, mosaic and minute mirror work that make the halls look very majestic and imperial.
The fort is built with white marble and red sandstone and look even more attractive because of the Maota Lake in the foreground. The fort in itself is a beautiful sight to behold but as one looks on the fort with its clear reflection on the lake in the front, one cannot help but wonder if it is a dream or a beautiful illusion.
Amber Fort also called the Amer Fort is a must-see if you are visiting Rajasthan. The tourists to this fort can either approach the fort by road or take an elephant ride, which though is quite slow yet is a lot of fun.
If you are in Rajasthan, do not miss the opportunity to tour the Amer Fort, which is one of the important forts of the city and one of the major attractions of Jaipur.

Jaipur is famous for its jewelry, silk printing, blue pottery and filigree work. You will also find an assortment of other interesting items. Beware of 'bargain' recommendations by locals as they often get commissions in this way. Note that just because a sign may say something is 'government approved' does not mean anything.

5 Ways to Stop Procrastinating

[Commentary] I agree with Holman Jenkins, Jr. that a metered Internet is a fairer way to provide service ("Federal Department of Netflix, NFLX -0.27% " Business World, June 18).
Information comes in datagrams, which can be counted, just like watts of electricity or cubic feet of natural gas; and it seems only fair that a user pays for the quantity of that resource that he or she consumes. However, it's worth remembering that on any given download, a portion—in some cases, a significant portion—of the downloaded material is not material that the user requested. Everything from spyware and cookies, to advertising, hitch a ride on the user's request, and are downloaded along with the material the user wants. Users may well balk at paying to download the streaming-video commercial that's playing in the corner of the Web page, when all they want to see are the cat pictures.
Yet eliminating or restricting advertising would put a huge hit on most providers' bottom lines. It may well be that arrangements like what Comcast is seeking with Netflix, clumsy as it is, may be the best way to resolve this. Small free providers will continue to benefit from being able to lard up their sites with ads, while subscription services like Netflix, will, in effect, bill their users for a carrier surcharge to cover the cost of the bandwidth they consume. And consumers will continue to enjoy what is, for most, a pretty good deal.

As our very own Jim Cramer likes to say: "There's always a bull market somewhere". And in 2008, the bull market for Dumbness soared as Wall Street sank to new literal and figurative lows.
The year 2008 was surely an annus horribilis on Wall Street, and not just for hedge fund managers, investment bankers and Madoff victims. From Eliot Spitzer's shocking revelation and resignation as Governor last March, through the collapse of Lehman Brothers this September, until, most recently, the discovery of Bernard Madoff's $50 billion ponzi scheme, investors worldwide were treated to an unending string of shenanigans and bad news. As a result, stocks fell nearly 40% for the year, while layoffs and taxpayer bailout funds were way, way up.
On the bright side, we here at the 5 Dumbest Lab were blessed with a surfeit of stupidity from which to choose our weekly jibes. Like the luckiest fisherman in the world, we didn't need a net to scoop up all of Wall Street's silliness. It just jumped in our proverbial boat.
And as difficult as it was to select a starting five each week, it was even tougher to sort through all that dumb material to find the year's 10 best.So with this in mind, and hope for better times ahead, we offer you this, our countdown list of the Top Ten Dumbest Things On Wall Street In 2008.

Spirit of the VW Camper van goes Element-al
The family vacation just hasn't been the same since the ubiquity of the Westfalia Camper and the VW Type2 as a family vehicle, both of which have been toppled by the rise of the minivan. There have been Westys since VW went mostly conventional with the Eurovan, but they're not much of a common sight on US Highways anymore.
Ursa Minor Vehicles understands that all those former kids who took trips to the Grand Canyon in a Westfalia have a soft spot for the poptop. Thus, the Ursa Minor ECamper kit for the Honda Element has been born. For those willing to part with an additional 4,000 bones, they will regain the ability to tilt up the roof again and contort themselves into an upper bunk area. The ECamper does require that the donor Element have a sunroof, which is the access hatch to the 85" x 50" sleeping area under the carbon fiber lid. Options such as color matched paint and roof racks are also available, and Ursa Minor will even sell you a fully outfitted Element if you don't want to tackle the kit. $4,300 is about what it'd cost in parts and labor to fix the head gaskets in your Wasserboxer, again, isn't it?

One dies in Karoo crashComment on this story
A man died and two were injured in a head-on-collision in a sharp bend on a road in the Karoo on Friday, paramedics said.
A 50-year-old man in a Toyota Hilux died and another man in the vehicle was seriously injured when it collided with a Toyota Land Cruiser, said ER24 spokeswoman Vanessa Jackson. The injured man was taken to hospital in Kathu, before being transferred to Kimberley.
The 30-year-old driver of the Land Cruiser was also injured and was thought to have been freed by a local farmer who took him to hospital in his bakkie, said Jackson. - Sapa

Emmis Announces Agreements To Purchase Certain Preferred Shares
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmis Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: EMMS; EMMSP) today announced that it signed agreements with certain holders of its 6.25% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to purchase their shares of Preferred Stock and that it signed an agreement with Zell Credit Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. to finance the purchases. Emmis may enter into additional transactions to purchase its Preferred Stock in the future.
Emmis entered into securities purchase agreements with certain holders of its Preferred Stock under which Emmis will purchase shares of its Preferred Stock from such holders at prices that are below the closing price of the Preferred Stock on November 10, 2011. The purchases will settle pursuant to total return swaps, the terms of which provide that until final settlement of the swaps, the seller agrees to vote its shares in accordance with the prior written instructions of Emmis.
Under the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement, Zell Credit Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. has agreed to buy from Emmis on up to four separate occasions on or before February 2, 2012, a total of up to $35,000,000 of unsecured notes. The net proceeds from the notes are expected to be used to enable Emmis to ultimately acquire some of its Preferred Stock through privately negotiated transactions with individual Preferred Stock holders and/or through a tender offer. Interest on the notes is not payable in cash and will accrue quarterly at a rate of 22.95 percent per annum. The notes will mature in February of 2015, and contain customary representations, warranties, and indemnities, as well as covenants that are comparable to those in Emmis' senior secured credit facility, including the prohibition of any dividend payments on Emmis' capital stock and certain restrictions on the ability of Emmis to incur additional indebtedness.
Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP served as legal counsel and Moelis & Company served as financial advisor to Emmis.

"We're JAQK Cellars, a new wine company. We're also a new type of wine company. In addition to being dedicated to making great wine, we're also passionate about something else: play.
For us, play includes the excitement of testing our luck—and tempting fate—at games of chance. It also includes getting together with friends and enjoying each other's company. And a bottle (or two) of great wine can be quite helpful in that regard."
Heineken Light

Designed by VBAT | Country: The Netherlands
"The design of the primary and secondary packaging had to be distinctively different from the world famous 'racetrack' design of the regular Heineken premium beer, while still using the same recognizable brand identifiers. It was decided to combine the brand name and the red 'star' with an uncomplicated label containing white and silver details. This way the light version got a fresh, modern and uncluttered character."

It wasn't a good idea. We knew that at the time, but I guess we thought we would get away with it.
On March 23, 2011, Mike Smith and I took the bus down Central through Albuquerque's neon-lit Downtown. We were headed toward the Anasazi building. At nine stories tall, it towered over other buildings on the block, and its pueblo-influenced, multitier design gave its dark, empty windows romantic intrigue. Could we get in? What was inside? What would it be like to be one of the few people who had looked out of those lofty windows?
Near the very top of its eastern face, there was a tantalizing sign that entry was possible: A graffiti rainbow coursed from the rooftop down the bare side. If that artist could get in, so could we. We didn't think about what would happen if we got caught; we just wanted to see it from the inside.
Mayor Richard Berry held a press conference this afternoon to announce plans for a Downtown grocery. He stood on the property where the store will be built, a 1-acre vacant lot on Silver between 2nd and 3rd Streets.
There's not yet a national chain or local grocer selected to move in. Instead, the city will put out a request for proposals on Friday. Developers will have 120 days to respond. The mayor said he is confident there will be plenty of proposals.
Berry says he hopes this will be another successful Downtown public-private partnership like the Lofts at Albuquerque High and the Alvarado Transportation Center.
The city purchased the land in 2000 for $575,000. In 2003, the city removed six underground storage tanks so the property could be certified as free of any contamination. The mayor characterizes the parcel, which is flat and contains nothing but dirt and asphalt, as "a very buildable site."
"Downtown needs a grocery store," says Berry. "I've been hearing that since I took over as mayor. We've been hearing about this for years."
This will come as welcome news to Downtown's 10,000 residents and 30,000 workers. Once the lofts are completed across the street from the site, Berry speculates there will be 500 people living there who will make regular use of the grocery store.
There has not been a full-service grocery store in Downtown since the '30s. The nearest option right now is a Lowe's on 11th Street and Lomas.
