Hagens Berman Reminds CCME Investors With Losses Over $50,000 Of Filing Deadline As It Investigates Possible Claims Against Auditor Deloitte
Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, a nationwide, investor-rights law firm, reminds investors of the April 5, 2011, deadline to file as a lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit against China MediaExpress (NASDAQ:CCME). The suit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleges that The Company misrepresented its operations and financial state.
On March 14, 2011, CCME announced that its independent auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT), and its Chief Financial Officer, Jacky Lam, had resigned. According to CCME, the auditor stated that it was "no longer able to rely on the representations of management." CCME announced that it will delay its fourth-quarter earnings release.
Investors with losses over $50,000 who purchased CCME stock between Nov. 8, 2010, and Feb. 3, 2011 (the "Class Period"), are encouraged to contact Hagens Berman partner Reed R. Kathrein at 510-725-3000 before April 5, 2011, for a personal consultation. Investors can also contact the Hagens Berman legal team through e-mail at email@example.com. Investors must file by April 5, 2011, to serve as lead plaintiff in the case.
"We are investigating the extent to which DTT conducted a complete audit of CCME," Mr. Kathrein said. "DTT's role is extremely important given allegations that the company made false and misleading statements to investors."China MediaExpress purports to own the largest television advertising network on buses throughout 18 of China's regions, including Beijing. According to the complaint, The Company claims to sell advertisements on more than 27,000 buses. However, the complaint alleges that CCME made false and misleading statements, including misrepresentations about its revenues, the number of buses in its network and the nature of its business relationships. On February 3, 2011, analyst firm Muddy Waters released a report alleging that CCME had exaggerated the scope of its operations as part of a "pump and dump" scheme to inflate revenues for management, who would sell the stock. The report claimed that CCME owns fewer than half of the buses it claims to own and that many of the buses' screens do not play advertising content. China MediaExpress shares fell 33 percent on February 3, closing at $11.09 per share.

manufacturing expansions,

Hitachi Automotive Systems Americas,

General Machine of Anderson
CHICAGO Automakers, auto suppliers and metal companies in six states have announced expansion projects over the past month with a combined value of nearly $158 million.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana Inc. will hire 90 production workers by the end of July as its Princeton, Ind., assembly plant prepares to build the 2014 Highlander, in addition to hybrid and export models. The company will have hired 446 production workers by the end of the month, nearly 50 more than was planned when the $400-million Highlander expansion was announced 16 months ago. The extra staffing reflects plans to build 50,000 more vehicles per year.
Harrodsburg, Ky.-based Hitachi Automotive Systems Americas Inc. will invest $80 million to expand in Monroe, Ga., creating 250 jobs. The company, which makes valve timing mechanisms, propeller shafts and power steering systems for several automakers, will build a 290,000-square-foot plant to complement its current 230,000 square feet of production space.
Tier I auto component supplier Aisin Electronics Illinois LLC is investing $32.8 million to expand its Marion, Ill., plant, creating 80 full-time jobs. Aisin will nearly triple the size of its Illinois operation with a 108,000-square-foot expansion scheduled to open in March.
Henderson, Ky.-based Gibbs Die Casting Corp. will spend $22.8 million to expand its production of aluminum and magnesium castings, machining assembly and die production. The project includes new manufacturing lines for automotive eight-speed transmission parts and rear axles.
Angus-Palm LLC, a subsidiary of Columbus, Ohio-based Worthington Industries Inc. that manufactures engineered cabs for mobile and off-road equipment, will spend $13 million to expand its Florence, S.C., plant and install several new product lines. The investment is expected to generate 55 jobs over the next four years.
Argon Industries Inc., a Milwaukee-based contract manufacturer of precision sheet metal parts for generators, appliances, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, has purchased a former Dana Corp. plant and is installing new tooling, for a total investment of $4.5 million. Argon will consolidate the operations of two leased buildings into the larger Dana plant, eventually creating up to 79 jobs and more than doubling the work force.
Sekido Technology Corp., which cold-forms metal components for the automotive and tool industries, has spent $3.7 million to expand an existing facility in Williamston, S.C., and install new equipment, creating six jobs.
Anderson, S.C.-based General Machine of Anderson Inc. will spend $800,000 to expand its metalworking operations, generating at least 20 jobs. The companys added space will house new equipment to allow for an increase in machining, fabricating and manufacturing capacity. All the work is expected to be completed by November.

Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."

Texas woman's execution halted; DA won't appeal
|FILE - This undated file photo provided by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice shows Kimberly McCarthy, who is on death row in Texas for the 1997 killing of a neighbor during a robbery. A state judge halted McCarthy's execution Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013, less than five hours before she could have been put to death, on the grounds that the jury that convicted her of murder was improperly selected on the basis of race. Dallas County Assistant District Attorney Shelly Yeatts says McCarthy's execution date now is April 3. (AP Photo/Texas Department of Criminal Justice, File)
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The first woman scheduled to be executed in the U.S. since 2010 won a reprieve Tuesday, mere hours before she was scheduled to be taken to the Texas death chamber.
State District Judge Larry Mitchell, in Dallas, rescheduled Kimberly McCarthy's punishment for April 3 so lawyers for the former nursing home therapist could have more time to pursue an appeal focused on whether her predominantly white jury was improperly selected on the basis of race. McCarthy is black.

Smash Review: Touch Meby Carla Day at . Comments
Fans received some great news this week: Smash has been renewed for season two. Even better news for others? Julia and Michael's affair is over!
Overall, I like Smash, but it feels like two shows crunched into one hour. The musical side is enjoyable to watch, but it loses on the personal side of the story. Pick any character involved in the musical and their professional life is enjoyable to watch play out, even Ellis most of the time... but their personal lives are a disaster. And not the kind that's enjoyable to watch.
Eileen and her horrible husband are annoying. Though the introduction of Eileen's daughter was a highlight. She gave Eileen a much needed reality check, but I'm glad she just dropped by and isn't sticking around.
Julia's family life is an utter mess: from the adoption, to her son's arrest and her affair. I'd rather see her work on the musical and never see her home life again. Brian d'Arcy James, who plays Julia's husband, is a Tony-nominated Broadway actor. I'd heard that at some point he would be singing and I was looking forward to that. But to a video game? For five seconds? Disappointing!
What is the point of Dev's work troubles? It doesn't really fit into the story and is a poor way to include him outside of his relationship with Karen. While it's important to see that Karen is in a loving relationship, we don't need to see him at work. And I especially don't need to see him hook up with R.J.
Ellis is a despicable person and only out for himself. Is it necessary to show him in bed with his girlfriend chatting about his intentions to get that across? No, his actions make it plenty clear. If he listened to her at all and used her as a moral compass, her character would make more sense. Instead he has dismissed her suggestions.
On the positive side, the Derek and Ivy relationship has developed in a surprisingly positive manner. There have been some bad moments along the way, but after a few days apart they are in a good place. With Ivy out of the lead role that could give them a better shot at lasting.
Despite all my complaining above, I love the production aspects. In "The Coup," Derek and Eileen decided the musical might benefit from a tone change and commissioned a new song and production to test. Neither of them handled the situation correctly, but they had a sound basis for their plan.
The workshop showed that Marilyn: The Musical was very traditional. The music, dancing and staging were safe and didn't push any boundaries. That's not necessarily bad, but could it be better?
Karen's performance of "Touch Me" (written by OneRepublic frontman, Ryan Tedder) was not traditional in any sense. The lyrics, music, staging and costume pushed the boundaries from traditional Broadway show to music video level. Was it over the top? Definitely! Was it exciting? Oh yeah! "Touch Me" is a catchy tune.
Does it fit Marilyn: The Musical? Not at all. It was clear that neither Tom nor Julia were happy at all with the performance or the implication of what Derek and Eileen did. But, in the end, I'd love to see Tom and Julia take inspiration from the song and performance and liven up the musical by stepping out of the box and doing something new.
The best part of Derek and Eileen's covert action was the confrontation between Tom and Derek. We finally found out why Tom doesn't like Derek. Now that their issues and feelings have been released, will that clear the air between them? They used to be friends; I'd love to see them really work together. They are so different, but sometimes that's when brilliance is created.
With the workshop over, the musical must go on. While I wasn't a fan of Ivy when she went all diva, she has grown on me over the last two episodes. She went through the high of getting the lead role of Marilyn and now the low of losing the part. That moment when Tom broke the news to Ivy was heartbreaking to watch. At least she understood the decision. If the part had gone to Karen instead of a soon-to-be-cast star, that conversation would have gone an entirely different way.
I'm thrilled that Smash has been renewed for another season, I just hope that either it focuses more on the professional side of the musical or they improve the writing regarding the characters' personal lives.
Did you love "Touch Me" or was it too much? Would you like to see some changes in the musical or did you like the traditional look and sound at the workshop? It looks like Uma Thurman will be taking a stab at playing Marilyn. Will she be better then Ivy?

There's a reason Karen and Dev's relationship feels off. They are building up to some sort of problem in their relationship. That's way for the first several episodes it looked all honky dory. Dev seemed too perfect--because he does public diplomacy for a living, he knows all the right words to say. Now they've introduced another woman in a field actually related to his own with a similar background. They seem to be dropping hints more and more that things are not well here. On top of that, Derek's particular attention to Karen seems to have he slowly thawing towards him...we already know Dev feels threatened by Derek. What happens when she becomes more buddy buddy with Derek? Though any scene Derek is in, I have to question his motivations, with the exception of most his scenes with Eileen, whom he clearly respects and seems genuine with her. It's hard to take him and Ivy seriously.
I want Derek and Karen to end up together, Karen has no chemistry with boyfriend. Feels like they forcing it thru by having them end up making love in most of their sequence. urgh!
Shan has no idea. This is a great show, albeit with some loose plot notes. The show is entertaining and fun to watch. Don't take it so seriously...your life doesn't depend on it. It's ENTERTAINMENT....and pretty damned good at that.
Where do I even begin? I saw that this episode was rated a 4.4 out of 5. If I had to rate this, it barely would have scored a 1. So, let me back up may statement with WHY's: (1) Dev. His storyline is utterly useless and boring and completely unattached from the show. I for one don't care whether he succeeds or fails. I'm assuming there might be some budding love affair with one of his co-workers: if this happens, then I'll just stop watching Smash. He doesn't need to be elevated. I felt like he had more importance than Karen in this episode which doesn't make sense. (2) Dev & Karens relationship. Is it just me or in this episode, did things look a little forced? They lack chemistry and it was evident in this episode. It was very difficult to care for their relationship. (3) Ellis. *Snores loudly* Either come out of the closet or get written off the show. He's a pathetic "villain". And the scene with his girlfriend? No comment. I feel sorry for her. (4) Ivy. Oh, my poor Ivy. She was severely underused in this episode and I somehow didn't like her sort of being a "bitch" to Karen. Like, maybe its just me but this seems like its not part of her character. Idk. I'll somehow get over it. (5) Julia. She was definitely the comedic relief of the episode but it just didn't hold up well. It was like watching a fish out of water. (6) The Musical Side. Yes, it was fun but I just wasn't over the moon. I haven't been over the moon about the music of the show since "Let Me Be Your Star". Let's face it: last night was too much like Glee and that isn't good at all. So there's my review lol Now, have fun with it!
Not a bad show and next's week episode is a must see, as far as I'm concerned. I would have been realy irritated at the lack of reality if Julia and Michaels's affair (#2 no less) had come and gone without some serious consequences for either of them. Michael losing his job was not enough. Besides, he said he was going to quit anyway for the good of his relationship with his family (a little late for that). From the previews, it appears Frank finds out that Julia has just cheated on him (hopefully discovers it was not the first time) and leaves her. Why he's leaving I don't understand. He should throw her out. And he also confronts his "friend," Michael on the street and decks him (Yes!). Now if Michael's wife could also learn what a scum bag her husband is, that would be perfect. As most people know, affairs rarely end well. They are gut wrenching experiences that usually cause great pain to a lot of innocent people. So in advance, thanks Smash for bringing a little taste of the real world to your viewers.
I hated everything about this ep! I hate Elis and I'm so mad at Derek and Morticia Addams for doing that terrible show behind Tom, Julia and Ivy's back!! I nearly cried when he broke the news to her.. and I can't beleive she fell for Derek's bull****!! I hope Uma sucks and they bring Ivy back! I also felt so bad for Fran, he's so sweet!! The only good thing about this ep was Meryl Streep's daughter! I adore her and her good taste in furniture on the show!
Part II (cut off below - who else HATES the character limit?)
....His instinct to survive, while not pretty, is definitely necessary in show business and could only be revealed to a confidante he trusts completely. I like these moments because they're true and real. I wouldn't be watching SMASH if all we saw were stage productions and rehearsal scenes with Tom & Julia bent over a piano.
Respectfully disagree about the characters personal lives. Every character says and does things in their private lives that cannot be revealed professionally. Last week, we saw the background behind Ivy's insecurity & frustration when her formidable mom came to visit. Their fights and talks were amazing. Karen has to have her "game" face on whenever she talks to anyone in the theatre. But, with her boyfriend, you can see how completely overwhelmed she is in trying to navigate all the politics between people she hardly knows. Eileen's daughter showed a great side to her when we realize that such a decent, intelligent young lady had to come from somewhere. And, finally, Ellis' talk w/his girlfriend serves a great purpose in this episode when revealing just how pure, cutthroat ambition is born. "Artists are treated like crap." His instinct to survive, while not pretty, is definitely necessary in show business and could only be revealed to a confidante he trusts completely. I like these moments because they're true and real. I wouldn't be watching SMASH if all we saw were stage productions and rehearsal scenes with Tom & Julia bent over a piano.
Is it really necessary for Julia to wear sunglasses inside so we know she's upset? That bugs the crap out of me. I loved Tom's kiss! It's reality, especially in the theatre. I enjoyed the episode, but I'm really over Ivy. Having done theatre for many years, I don't do DIVA any more. & more & more directors I know & work with will find out how an actor's temperament is prior to hiring them. A happy dressing room makes things so much easier.

Ryanair announced yesterday that Bristol is set to become its 20th base airport. Currently, Ryanair flies between Bristol and just three destinations: Barcelona Girona, Dublin, and Shannon.

In November, Ryanair will begin flying between Bristol and Bratislava, Bristol, Derry, Dinard, Katowice, Knock, Milan Bergamo, Porto, Poznan, Riga, Rzeszow, and Wroclaw; from December, a Bristol-Salzburg route will commence.
To promote its new base, Ryanair is hawking 100,000 one-way fares from Bristol for £10—and that tenner includes taxes and charges. Go to it, Cheapos.

Shaheen's Libya failure: Party over the people
U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a member of that committee, had the opportunity. When it came, she asked not a single question about how the security in Benghazi was left so weak despite repeated requests from State Department officials there for upgrades. She made no effort at all to get to the bottom of the issue. Instead, she called Clinton a great leader and called for spending more money on the State Department.
Shaheen used her question time to advance the Democratic Party's effort to deflect attention from the fatal Benghazi failure by focusing on current State Department funding. She asked Clinton whether $1.4 billion dedicated for spending in Iraq had been transferred for use on embassy security. Of course, she already knew the answer. Senate Democrats have had fun pointing out that approval for the transfer was inserted into the Senate's Hurricane Sandy relief bill, but removed by the House (because it was completely unrelated to Sandy relief). She used her rare opportunity to make a partisan political point.
In addition, as a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, surely Shaheen would know that Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in October that a lack of funding was not the reason for Benghazi's security shortage. The funding issue is a diversion, nothing more.
Shaheen had a choice. She could either help her party deflect blame for Benghazi or help the people understand what happened. Ever the loyal partisan, Shaheen chose her party over the people.

Raymond incumbents get challenges
Selectmen Lee Weldy and Wayne Welch are being challenged by three residents in their bids for re-election, including two former selectmen, Greg Bemis and June M. Hartford, and current budget committee member Harry "Bud" McClard.
On the school ballot, incumbents Kelly Lehman and current chairman John Stewart are both running for only a one-year seat on the school board against challenger Kyle Scofield, who has been serving on the Lamprey River Elementary School Building Committee. Moe Titcomb, who has filled the seat by appointment since another school board member resigned last year, is not running in that race but is seeking a three-year term on the budget committee.
Daniel F. Chouinard, Diane Naoum, Steve Reardon and Steven Wallerstein will compete for two three-year seats on the school board being left open by Stewart and Lehman.
Other races are being contested as well. Planning board members Jonathan Wood and Gretchen Gott are both seeking re-election to three-year terms on the planning board but alternate Don Hedman is looking to take one of their seats.
Kimberlee Tyndall is challenging incumbent Tina M. Thomas for a three-year term as trustee of the trust funds.
Tyndall is also running for an open one-year term on the budget committee.
Sandy Ellis is running for the second available three-year term on the budget committee.
In the last contested race, Barbara Edgar and Sabrina Maltby are running for a three-year term as library trustee.
No candidates filed for an open three-year seat on the ethics committee.
A candidates night is being held on Tuesday, Feb. 19 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the Raymond High School Media Center for all town and school candidates to talk to residents about themselves and why they are running for office.

Public outrage led News Corp. to cancel the book and a planned TV special last November.

Forking Diet
Only eat food that you can spear with your fork.
If your chief complaint about diets is that they all look the same, then you haven't heard of the Forking Diet.
This wacky fad diet requires that you only consume food that you can eat and prepare with a fork.
There are two levels of the Forking Diet: Strict, which includes using only a fork to prepare and eat food; and Gentle, which allows you to use a knife to prepare your food but only your fork to eat it.
The idea behind the diet is to allow you to eat all foods in moderation but to limit dinner, which is often the most calorie-dense meal of the day, to calorie-sparse foods, in order to lose weight.
- Encourages consumption of vegetables at dinner
- Promotes eating all foods in moderation
- Eating the bulk of your calories in the morning is an effective way to lose weight
- Fork-only rule is not a long-term or practical way to eat
- Fad diets don't produce sustained weight loss
- Does not promote healthy relationship with food
- Restricts healthy food items
The Forking Diet is a very unique eating plan that encourages weight loss by discouraging the consumption of certain foods, namely foods that you need a spoon, knife or your fingers to eat or prepare.
On the diet, you either follow the Strict or Gentle plan. The Strict plan prohibits eating any foods that you eat and prepare with a spoon, knife or your fingers and the Gentle plan allows you to use a knife in the prep work.
Here's how it works: Throughout the day, you eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch and a pauper for dinner. For dinner, you eat fork-only foods, which tend to be lower in calories and are unprocessed.
These are the no-no foods on either the Gentle or Strict plan.
Snacks like peanuts, cashew nuts, almonds, chips, sausages, pizza, quiche, soup, soft-boiled eggs, avocados and lunch meats.
Main courses like sandwiches, burgers, chips, steak, roast meats, liver and stew.
Sweets, like fresh or dried fruit, yogurt, cakes, chocolate, sweet desserts, fruit salad, jelly, ice cream, cereals, pancakes, waffles.
All bread
Sides like sauces, butter or margarine, cheese, mustard and ketchup.
Fork-friendly foods that are allowed are vegetables, lentils, peas, beans, pasta, rice, wheat, semolina and fish.
You can expect to lose one to two pounds per week on the diet.EXERCISE
There are no fitness guidelines provided.CONCLUSION
The Forking Diet may raise a few eyebrows even though it may also help you drop a few pounds.
By eating what you want for breakfast, a little less for lunch and a lot less and only certain foods for dinner, you can lose weight. Its encouragement of moderation and ending the day on a light night are commendable.
But the diet has a fad feel to it and its long-term practicality may be difficult to be sustained.Common Misspellings
the fork diet, forkful diet, forking deit, fork diet, fokring diet, forks diet

The British troubadour ГўЂ" who only just concluded his debut North American tour, serving as special guest alongside Snow Patrol ГўЂ" will further celebrate the release of ГўЂњ+ГўЂќ with a pair of major headline shows in New York City, both of which sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale. Ed will perform at Bowery Ballroom on June 11th (a 16 years old-and-over show), and Music Hall of Williamsburg on June 12th. The two stateside shows follow a number of high profile performances overseas, including tonightГўЂ™s appearance at The Royal Diamond Jubilee Concert, celebrating the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth IIГўЂ™s reign, where he will share the stage with such rock royalty as Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Sir Tom Jones, and Jay-Z.
SheeranГўЂ™s nearly non-stop North American tour schedule comes on the heels of a triumphant string of performances at this yearГўЂ™s South by Southwest® Music & Media Conference (SXSW®) in Austin, Texas. Entertainment Weekly praised his ГўЂњknack for manipulating samplers and voice loops, various strums, a handful of rhythmic pounds on his guitarГўЂ™s body, and even the audience,ГўЂќ while Billboard hailed his energetic set at Nikon Inc. and Warner Music GroupГўЂ™s ГўЂњThe Warner Sound Captured by NikonГўЂќ residency as ГўЂњa veritable party in a single package.ГўЂќ

Masterfully blending soulful vocals with organic folk introspection and irresistible hip-hop hooks, Sheeran is a genuine phenomenon. Inspired by such diverse artists as James Morrison, Damien Rice, and Jay-Z, the gifted tunesmith first made waves with his unique style and affecting songs. A prolific writer and performer, Sheeran played constantly ГўЂ" including over 300 gigs in 2009 alone ГўЂ" while also recording and self-releasing five independent EPs. He also became a YouTube favorite, with the loop-driven ГўЂњYou Need Me, I DonГўЂ™t Need You,ГўЂќ drawing over 11 million views and counting.
His major label debut single, ГўЂњThe A Team,ГўЂќ arrived in June 2011 and instantly proved an unqualified sensation, entering among the top 3 on the U.K. Singles Chart. The track spent 11 consecutive weeks in the U.K. Top 10, making history as 2011ГўЂ™s highest charting, biggest selling debut single.
SheeranГўЂ™s full-length debut, ГўЂњ+,ГўЂќ soon followed, featuring a host of truly special songs, from the heart-wrenching ГўЂњSmall BumpГўЂќ to the hushed ГўЂњGive Me Love.ГўЂќ The album exploded onto the U.K. Albums Chart at #1 with the highest opening sales figures for a debut artist ever and is now certified 4x platinum.
In addition to their popular success, Sheeran and ГўЂњ+ГўЂќ received extensive acclaim, including the prestigious ГўЂњBreakthrough ArtistГўЂќ trophy at the Q Awards 2011. Even greater accolades came in early 2012 as Sheeran emerged victorious with a pair of top 2011 Brit Awards ГўЂ" including ГўЂњBest Male ArtistГўЂќ and ГўЂњBest Breakthrough ArtistГўЂќ ГўЂ" after having led the field with a remarkable four total nods. Furthermore, ГўЂњThe A TeamГўЂќ received the high honor of a 2012 Ivor Novello Award nomination in the ГўЂњBest Song Musically and LyricallyГўЂќ category.
Released in December 2011, SheeranГўЂ™s U.S. debut EP, ГўЂњTHE A TEAM,ГўЂќ features four extraordinary tracks previously unavailable here in the former Colonies, including, of course, ГўЂњThe A Team.ГўЂќ A special iTunes version of the EP ГўЂ" available exclusively on the iTunes Store ГўЂ" is augmented by an additional track, ГўЂњGrade 8 (Live At The iTunes Festival London).ГўЂќ
As energetic and engaging on stage as he is on record, Sheeran spent much of last year doing what he does best ГўЂ" playing sold out shows all over the U.K., including acclaimed festival appearances at such annual extravaganzas as Glastonbury, Lovebox, Bestival, Latitude, and Reading & Leeds Festivals. A further series of U.K. and European festivals are scheduled for the summer, as is a fully sold out tour of Australia and New Zealand. SheeranГўЂ™s biggest U.K. tour thus far will follow in the fall, featuring sold out multiple night stands in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Doncaster, Newcastle, and Glasgow.
As if all that werenГўЂ™t enough, Sheeran kickstarted 2012 with ГўЂњTHE SLUMDON BRIDGE EP,ГўЂќ a four-song collaboration with Shady Records/Get-O-Vision Entertainment/ Interscope Records recording artist Yelawolf. Initially released as a free ValentineГўЂ™s Day download, the acclaimed EP is available now via all digital retailers. ГўЂњItГўЂ™s a unique project from start to finish,ГўЂќ declared AllHipHop.com of the EP. ГўЂњYelawolf and Ed Sheeran areГўЂВ¦the most unlikeliest of teams, but it works. HereГўЂ™s hoping that we see more of them together in the future.ГўЂќ
ГўЂњAny true music lover would thoroughly enjoy the supernatural chemistry that oozes from this opus,ГўЂќ noted PlanetIll.com, adding that ГўЂњif you never heard of Ed Sheeran, youГўЂ™ll definitely become a fan after listening to this jointГўЂВ¦ItГўЂ™s only a matter of time till he catches the ear of a hip-hop heavyweight.ГўЂќ

Driver blames crash on racers
Police dispute story, cleanup costs $100,000
|An employee of Connecticut Tank Removal walks across an environmental cleanup site off Route 8 in Thomaston where a tanker flipped on Monday spilling 5,200 of gasoline into the ground. Alec Johnson / Republican-American
THOMASTON — The driver of a gas tanker that crashed off Route 8 last year, spilling 5,000 gallons of gasoline into a hillside, told police two racing cars led to the accident, but evidence didn't support his story, police said.
State Police, in an accident report obtained by the Republican-American, said an investigation into the crash found Andrew Pitt, 28, of Bridgeport was either asleep or distracted when he veered into a guardrail on the right side of Route 8 Northbound and careened off into the woods.

A local firm had the low bid to provide Barton County with paving material for the coming construction season.
This year's asphalt bid was awarded to Venture Corp, which had a bid of $6.69 per ton.
Road and Bridge Director Dale Phillips told the Barton County Commission that his department will also mix some of the material, beginning in early April so the construction season can get an early start.
Then Venture will take over producing more of the asphalt, in order to keep up with the need during the department's busiest part of the season.
Despite ...

In 1913 US life expectancy was 53 years. A few years later, in 1918 it would drop to 40 because of a flu pandemic that nowadays would almost certainly be preventable. In 1910, 8% of Americans could not read or write. In the south, that was 20%, which included 70% of southern blacks. Now, all those numbers are under 1 percent.
Leading causes of death were pneumonia, tuberculosis and diarrhea, all generally preventable or curable now. Nobody knew that smoking was dangerous. Cancer, even tumors considered trivial today, was a death sentence. Even appendicitis was a significant cause of death, especially in rural areas.
Most Americans had not traveled more than 15 miles from their home and would never do so. (This changed in 1917, when we went to war in France.)
Chronic skin diseases were mostly incurable, so what was going on under all the wonderful clothes people wore in those days might have been quite disturbing. Most Americans bathed only once a week, and many not at all.
Pharmacies were filled with dangerous and addictive drugs. Heroin was sold by the Bayer Company for pain
relief. Anybody could buy it in a drugstore. Because of the pain of corsets, large numbers of women were addicted to pain remedies. There was little
regulation of food supplies or drugs, with the result that milk was routinely adulterated with chalk before being sold, especially in large cities,
and meats were notoriously dangerous, leading to the 1906 muckraking Upton Sinclair book the Jungle.
The cars of 1913 had a top speed of about 30, but brake technology was far behind engine technology, so stopping them at any speed took skill, and at high speed also luck. They generally lasted about 2 years, after which so many mechanical problems developed that they had to be replaced. Assuming you had survived.
I could go on, into the rates of lynchings in the south, the death rate of mothers during childhood, etc., etc., the difficulty and danger of travel, the endemic and routine injustice and cruelty, the choking pollution in the cities, the prevalence of things like lice and hookworm, but instead I'd like to say that, contrary to the ceaseless uproar of the media, in fact we are living right now in the best time in human history. Sure, a lot is wrong, but it's nothing compared to the past.
Mankind is rising out of the muck. This, for all its flaws, is an amazing period, perhaps the best that the human species has ever known. Not only that, the demon of climate change, while very much with us, may abate before it becomes catastrophic, because CO2 levels are slowly turning around.
My best guess is that the long rise of mankind, which has been steady throughout our history, is going to continue and, unless we are struck by some black swan or other, is going to leap exponentially over the next century into undreamed of realms.
Thank you for this. It was exactly what I needed.
One other thing, among many others that could be added here, is that diabetes was essentially a death sentence. As the father of a long term Type I diabetic, it saddens me to think of those unfortunate souls who never were able to benefit from the development of man made insulin. I truly hope and pray that just as insulin's development dramatically changed how diabetes was treated, maybe in the not too distant future we will see diabetes eradicated, not only from ever developing in a person's body, but also that those who currently suffer from it are cured. Maybe some day...
Now that the information about the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids is available, shedding new light on our much earlier civilizations, I'm not convinced our era is the best, just an interesting time-frame to participate again.
During the 1918 flu pandemic, my great grandmother Tomasa, who lived in Oakland, California, did not lose anyone in her community, where she was known, trusted and respected as a midwife and someone who treated illnesses with medicine foods & herbs. She made a liniment called "Medicina Blanca" and it was applied to a person's chest, belly, back and soles of the feet. A person was then bundled and put to bed and would sleep deeply as the "cooking process" took hold, to sweat out the bacteria, viruses and toxins. A day or two later was followed by a very warm bath in salts, taking care not to get chilled, so much care was given to create a moist, warm temperature of the room, warm dry towels, clean, soft clothing and clean air.
This was followed by clean, easy to digest, warm medicine foods and fluids given to the patient. All the primary foods my great grandparents prepared were grown and raised on their family farm, following traditions from Mexico and Guam, where my great grandfather was from. He was a seer & bonesetter and the patient followed the protocols of both.
When I was born, I remember looking around the hospital, seeing spirits wandering around all over the place--a frightening reality. I remember thinking, "Oh, no! I've been born into the dark ages. They (doctors) have NO idea what they're doing here! (in medicine)". My great grandparents were both gone by the time of my birth, so I was really on my own, in terms of figuring out how to be in the world and resisting fiercely, any attempts by doctors to examine, treat me or perform surgery without engaging in an all out battle. I have a history of coming out from under anesthesia, getting off the table & attempting to fight my way out of the operating room. Of course I have no memory of these surgery battles, only the stories told by the witnesses..
I often think about how differently my life would have been, if I had known these two people who perhaps might have paved the way for my more indigenous being to transition more easily into the world of modernity.
I have a deep trust that we're headed for some very surprising and fortunate discoveries that return us to the truth of our beginnings on our amazing Earth, that will help us turn life around in ways our imagination is currently not developed enough to comprehend. Much of it may come from antiquity--ancestors who have left behind their knowledge & wisdom teachings in our cells, in nature, buried deep in our Great Mother and in the starry realms above us and below us.
Ann & Whitley, have a wonderful & blessed holiday...and to everyone here too.
As true as all the above is, I'm sure it could be written in reverse from some other perspectives, no matter the years involved.
I'm personally glad that I live now, because We, as an amalgam of existence, are yet a little closer to balance in true creative realization.
Onward sisters and brothers!
Wave the flag of the Earth surrounded by the Galaxy! Celebrate Home! For We are Here and It is Good!
I am exactly where I am supposed to be right now...
On a world scale: We are approaching having had nuclear weapons for seventy years without (after the two bombings in Japan) them being utilized in aggression. At least eight nations have nuclear weapons, and have managed not to use them. I do not believe either the Christian West or the Islamic Middle East would have shown such restraint during the Crusades.
Europe began to ban the slave trade beginning roughly 200 years ago, and within a few decades, the institution of slavery itself. The animal welfare movement began in the 19th century. Child sexual abuse and child labor are now condemned by much of the world. The situation of women is improved in many nations. Workers' conditions and the treatment of the handicapped are other things that have vastly improved within the last century or two.
Slavery, animal abuse, child abuse, child labor, the subjugation of women, mistreatment of workers and of the disabled all still occur, and widely. But two hundred years ago, these thing were all taken for granted, pretty much everywhere.
On a personal note: Without modern medicine, I would have been dead, probably several times over. Without antibiotics, of blood poisoning when I was 12. Quite possibly in childbirth twenty-five years ago, without medical intervention with a difficult delivery. Quite possibly from either of two bouts of cellulitis, both of which were quickly
resolved with antibiotics.
I'm thankful I live when/where I do! Thanks for reminding me, Whitley.
Spot on article to address all those that complain about the living conditions today.... Not to say there aren't great problems that we must face today, but it is evident that we are getting better at solving them with time.
There's really a lot to be thankful for so...
Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes to all at UnknownCountry.com!
I remember a story my grandmother (mother's mother) told me years ago. She & my grandfather had 14 kids in Massachusetts but only 12 lived to adulthood. That was because 2 of them (both halves of twins) had heart defects. Even though the defects were treatable by the surgery of the time, the hospitals refused to treat them if my grandfather didn't come up with the money, and told my grandmother to "enjoy the ones you've got." No charity in those days. The other bad thing I remember off hand, was that both my mother & father were expected to find jobs at 14. My father told me this horror story about being bundled off with a bunch of other boys out West somewhere to sell magazines door-to-door. If they didn't get their quota in they didn't get to go back home. My father ended up sneaking aboard a freight train to get back to Illinois.
Whitley, thank you for this encouraging vision. You missed one thing: most likely the fact that no use of atomic weapons followed that perpetrated by our country on Japan and humankind, has been thanks to the Visitors. We know that they regularly take nuclear missiles off line right in their silos.
You may have found out that this subscriber is a Catholic monk and priest -- so let me say that, not only is the world better, but the Catholic Church is also a better religion now, after St. John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council. Now we have Pope Francis -- God

Organisers of Qatar's successful bid to host the 2022 football World Cup have once again denied any wrongdoing in the build-up to the bidding process for the tournament and are confident that it will take place in Middle Eastern country.
An investigation into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups was carried out by FIFA's ethics committee following allegations of bribery and corruption. There have also been calls for Qatar to be stripped of the hosting rights in wake of those allegations.
"We are not worried, we are confident that the World Cup will take place in Qatar," Nasser Al Khater, Qatar 2022 Communications Director, told Al Jazeera.
"Qatar is part of the investigation and so is Russia [2018]. The whole process is part of that. It's unfortunate that people single out Qatar every time they discuss it.
"We have held ourselves to the highest ethical standards. We believe in it, we are confident of it and we are confident of how we have behaved."
Britain's Sunday Times reported last month that some of the "millions of documents" it had seen linked payments by former FIFA executive committee member, Mohamed Bin Hammam, a Qatari, to officials in order to win backing for the 2022 World Cup bid.
Khater, though, reiterated the stance that Bin Hammam was not representing the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee.
"He was an executive committee member like the rest of the 23 executive committee members that were present at the time. We had to engage with him, as we had to engage with everybody else. He was not part of our bid. Did he represent us? Not at all."
FIFA President Sepp Blatter has previously labelled the criticism against Qatar as "racist".
