First National Bank Alaska Files Form 15 - Deregistration
First National Bank Alaska (OTCBB:FBAK) announced today it filed a Form 15 with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to voluntarily deregister its shares of common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Upon such filing, the bank's obligation to file certain reports with the OCC, including annual, quarterly and current reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, respectively, was immediately suspended. Shares of the bank's common stock trading under the symbol FBAK will continue to trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board without interruption.
The action comes in response to the recent signing into law of the JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT, in particular the provision that now makes it possible for companies to deregister a class of equity securities if it has fewer than 1,200 shareholders of record. The bank expects to generate annual savings by reducing accounting, legal and administrative costs associated with being a registrant. The savings will allow First National executives and employees to focus on other areas of the bank's operations to further the strategic direction set by the Board of Directors.
First National will continue to report quarterly financial results to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation via Call Reports which are publicly available on the FDIC website at www2.fdic.gov/Call_TFR_Rpts. The bank will also undergo annual independent financial statement and internal control audits as well as routine regulatory compliance examinations by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Periodic and annual financial statement information will be available to shareholders on the bank's website at FNBAlaska.com.
There is no change to the Share Repurchase Program currently authorized through March 2013. Shareholders interested in the Share Repurchase Program can contact Bob Tannahill, Senior Trust Officer at First National Bank Alaska.Established in 1922, First National is Alaska's largest Alaskan-owned and operated bank, with ATMs and 30 branches in 18 communities throughout Alaska. More information about First National is available at www.FNBAlaska.com.

I live in Indiana. And I complain about it a lot.
I don't think I have ever actually complained about it on the blog.
Don't worry, I'm going to start.
Indiana is boring. Its flat and covered in cornfields. And its cold. The average yearly temp is 56 or something like that. The wind is always blowing because, you know, its flat.
The summers are so humid you can't enjoy being outside at all. It is not uncommon to have 70 or 80 percent humidity during the summer.
And the winter is no better. The wind chills can be brutal, and because its so flat the snow we get drifts over the roads and makes driving very difficult. Not to the mention the lovely ice storms we are very prone to. Those are always fun.
Then there are the tornadoes. Indiana lays in the tornado belt so we have several tornadoes every spring.
So yeah, there is a lot for me to complain about.
But even I have to admit, that it can be beautiful sometimes.
The other day I woke way earlier than I wanted; just as the sun was rising. There was fog over the fields and the sky was so colorful.
There are a lot of things to complain about this state. But its times that this, I don't want to live anywhere else.
... ... ...
Well ok, I still do want to live to somewhere else. But it is beautiful nonetheless.

Lincoln's Assassins: Their Trial and Execution (Hardcover)
Special Order - Subject to Availability
Acclaimed as the definitive illustrated history of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Lincoln's Assassins, by James L. Swanson and Daniel R. Weinberg, follows the shocking events from the tragic scene at Ford's Theatre to the trial and execution of Booth's co-conspirators. For twelve days after the president was shot, the nation waited breathlessly as manhunters tracked down John Wilkes Booth—the story that was brilliantly told in Swanson's New York Times bestseller, Manhunt. Then, during the spring and summer of 1865, a military commission tried eight people as conspirators in Booth's plot to murder Lincoln and other high officials, including the secretary of state and vice president. Few remember them today, but once the names Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold, George Atzerodt, Edman Spangler, Samuel Arnold, Michael O'Laughlin, and Dr. Samuel Mudd were the most reviled and notorious in America.
In Lincoln's Assassins, Swanson and Weinberg resurrect these events by presenting an unprecedented visual record of almost 300 contemporary photographs, letters, documents, prints, woodcuts, newspapers, pamphlets, books, and artifacts, many hitherto unpublished. These rare materials, which took the authors decades to collect, evoke the popular culture of the time, record the origins of the Lincoln myth, take the reader into the courtroom and the cells of the accused, document the beginning of American photojournalism, and memorialize the fates of the eight conspirators.
Lincoln's Assassins is a unique work that will appeal to anyone interested in American history, Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, law, crime, assassination, nineteenth-century photographic portraiture, and the history of American photojournalism.
About the Author
James Swanson is the Edgar Award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincolns Killer. Born on Lincolns birthday, he has studied and collected books, documents, photographs, art, and artifacts from Abraham Lincolns lifeand deathsince he was ten years old.
Praise for Lincoln's Assassins: Their Trial and Execution…
"[A] fascinating book."

Switched at Birth Review: The Truth About Angeloby Leigh Raines at . Comments
I give Melody a lot of crap, but I think I can finally see why she's a little overprotective of Emmett now that we've met his father. What one parent lacks in the fun department the other one more than made up for.
I'm glad "Expulsion From the Garden of Eden" finally introduced us to the elusive parent.
Whether or not he's smoking out of a huge bong or has a young girlfriend isn't really what I'm concerned about, though. I just about melted when I saw how welcoming he was to Bay! Finally, an adult who is excited to see his child happy!
Is it possible that part of Melody's dislike of Bay comes from the fact that her newly minted ex-husband has a hearing girlfriend as well? Granted, Olivia is hard of hearing now, but it wasn't always the case. Then again, Melody could dislike Olivia for any number of reasons, including her laid back policy about teenage sex.
It's one thing to say it's okay to stay over, but another to say it's more comfortable than the backseat of a car. I happen to be very laid back and noticed over the years that the parents who restricted their teens the most were the ones who ended up with the kids who went totally off the rails. Still, I found Olivia's comment to be super inappropriate.
Anyway, we need not worry because as we found out tonight Bay is a vegetable. Oops, I mean virgin! Cute exchange that was with Emmett's "I don't peel and tell." Here I was thinking that Bay was so experienced with her past boyfriends and I got it totally wrong. I should've known better because it's usually the ones who brag about being experienced who really aren't, just saying it because they're insecure.
I'm relieved to find out that Emmett didn't have sex with Daphne. That would've been too close for comfort. One person who won't be sleeping with Daphne any time soon? Wilkie, if he keeps recycling his date options! C'mon, man, surely you can find something more creative to do; don't blame it on the town.
Then again, as adorable and charming as I find Wilkie to be, it's kind of skeevy that he's dated his way through an entire group of friends. What can I say, though, they're teenagers - this stuff happens.
This Switched at Birth was all about the relationships. Regina never fell out of love with Angelo and John has a shady relationship with a reporter named Sarah Lazar. I want to believe that John is telling the truth about nothing happening with the journalist, but something about it doesn't feel right.
It could be the fact that he lied about where he was. Those must have been some rumors back in the day if he would lie to Kathryn about something as innocent as a lunch about a book. Whatever the case, Angelo pretty much takes the shady award this episode.
Now we know where Angelo was for those two years that he fell off the map. He is a fugitive. Two things:
- Do we believe his story about what happened in Italy?
- Do you think he actually cares about his family at all?
Hit the comments section to weigh in on this week's intense episode!

I love this series. Bay is so sweet.I think, Simone is a B ! I don't like Emmett. And according to me , They should show Toby more. Bay and Toby very cool . Maybe this is bad idea but , Bay and Toby are not siblings now. So , they get closer. Forbidden love. more impressive

1.yes and2. Yes. I agree with cindylou. It sucks that Angelo is the only adult I actually like and they keep trying to paint him as the bad guy. I love Angelo and I hope to see him again soon. I think there is more ti John and the reporter. I'd actually like to see the kennishes get knocked off their high horse. Emmetts dad probably isn't the issue his hipster g.f is. I'm all for lax but she was overkill, I see why melody has issues with bay but still think living with dad isn't all that bad. The moment wilkie shared something so personal,Daphne should have realized she was different. I wouldn't have been pissed.
I really like Angelo and am very upset he has been made villain. He is the only one with a real interest in Bay. Also what is going on with John? What a beautiful last scene with he and Daphne.
this episode brings a lot lovely lines between Bay and Emmet. not really concern on the adults. but very waiting what will happen with Simone and Toby. sad that this episode didn't include their love interest.
as for Daphne and Wilkie, I sort of get enough of Daphne's being mean to him. the man is hot and rich, give yourself a rest a little while.
Bay needs to forgive Emmett. But I think she is more mad that he's not a virgin and that there's pressure on her for sex then she is about Emmett taking her parents' side. Clearly she used to the first excuse to get out of there, meaning she's not ready. She needs to tell him that.
Wilkie is adorable, but the guy needs some new material. Daphne isn't an idiot. Something is going on between John and that reporter. Toby's reaction and Daphne's gut feeling are too strong to doubt that. Also Kathryn had suspicions about him and Melody earlier in the season. They turned out to be false but you never think you're going to get cheated on, unless you have been previously. Also, when Sara walked into that office and John saw that Daphne had seen her, well the look on his face gave everything away. If John was really being the good husband and saving Kathryn's book from obscurity, why would he lie? Why wouldn't he just tell her that he managed to convince the reporter to back off? John likes being the hero and that would have been heroic in Kathyrn's eyes. His story doesn't make sense.
I really liked Emmett's dad, but Olivia was a bit much. It's extremely uncomfortable to mention sex right off the bat like that. I don't believe in allowing your kids to be ignorant but some her comments were a bit over the top. Also, Bay's parents would never allow their teenage daughter to sleep over at her boyfriend's place. Bay is a virgin and its extremely stressful to have to figure that out, nevermind being constantly reminded of it by someone she'd just met. But it was interesting to see Bay get very Kennish there for a moment. Considering that Emmett's dad is an adult in his own home, he can get as high as he wants without having to refer to his son's girlfriend. I mean seriously Bay, you're an artist. You can make the choice not to smoke pot but to expect everyone to be like that is kind of unrealistic. Then again, she is a sheltered teenager.
I don't know if Angelo is telling the truth or not but if Adrianna turned him in despite knowing that her daugther and grandaughters would be upset, there had to have been a good reason. Again, Regina isn't thinking straight, if Angelo was a fugitive all these years where did he get the money for the salon? There can't be much money in running from the Italian government. Something shady is going on here...I've been saying it for like four episodes now...

'Luis Suarez is simply unbelievable'Comment on this story
London - Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was glowing in his praise of Luis Suarez after the striker's stand-out performance against Newcastle.
The Uruguay international was at his brilliant best in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Anfield, producing a superb equaliser that has drawn praise even from those more accustomed to criticising the forward.
Suarez has scored seven league goals this season - in his last nine matches - which is more than half the team's tally for the campaign.
"I thought he was unbelievable. It was a brilliant goal for Luis and a terrific performance and it bodes well for us going forward," said Rodgers.
"His cleverness and movement is world class. But it's important that we've got men running in off that."
Rodgers hopes to add squad reinforcements when the transfer window opens in January.
"It doesn't worry me," Rodgers added. "He (Suarez) gets picked to score goals, but of course I would want them to be more spread out.
"Everyone knows that this is the key feature for us. We need to also get goals from other areas, but I can't complain when we play to that level.
"Once we get that type of player in, that is really going to finish off a lot of great work that we have been doing."

Hi relthmd,
I think it would help if you tell us where you're based and what you currently have in your present building.
Long Story Short,
Our BSF build got scrapped at the last minute but we are getting a new build now courtesy of county who found the money
we are not having a Managed IT Solution put in place, so the budget is tight for new ICT Kit
I have been asked to produce a project plan for the next 12 months, essentially from now until the day we move in, including having the network up and running early enough for the builders to hang their BMS off of it, this must include hardware decisions, procurement, installation of servers/switches/wireless and workstations with time scales...
Has anyone here ever produced a project plan for a new build ICT solution that they are willing to share? or does anyone have any advice/pointers besides "install MS Project" (already done)?
Thanks in advance
Hi relthmd,
I think it would help if you tell us where you're based and what you currently have in your present building.
Best advice? Get hold of the plans early on. Insist on copies of structural and electrical plans and anything else you can get your hands on. Go over them with a fine toothcomb, making sure that what they think they're building is sane and fit for purpose IT-wise.
You must get corrections approved and made in the early stages, otherwise the penalty fees (to the school) will be large.
Not a problem Tonto
I am in the midlands, the school has ~1000 pupils and ~500 workstations, servers are currently on VMWare, we run 2 x DC, Exchange, sharepoint, website hosted onsite, moodle, CMIS, 2 files servers and SCCM amongst others
we currently have a very small wireless set up - this will be replaced by managed wireless in the new build, almost everything we have at present is fat client desktops hardwired
I have been told to assume that when we walk in almost everything will be a mobile solution (laptops/tablets) and that we need a wireless infrastructure to support this, there will be plenty of hardwired points to support this wireless infrastructure
Servers/switches will be purchased for the new site as they need to be up and running before the old site closes...
Thanks for the advice Pete - I have some pretty basic plans currently, I'm waiting on electrical plans and building materials presently ready for the wireless pre survey

Top of the head thoughts:
You'll probably want to run your data cable during first fix when electricians run theirs; you'll also need to identify as many power sockets as you can unless you want to run additional trunking; specifically try to identify power outlets for your edge cabs, as these will be placed higher than any other trunking they intend to run. I would absolutely love to start from scratch - I'd actually enjoy planning that.
Advice, from someone who just came out the end of 18+ months of new building work / new IT infrastructure
1) Get plans of all the buildings, proposed works, timescales etc. and go over them again, and again, and again. Get your own copies that you can scribble on, and plan out what you know the IT should look like. Where would be suitable for data cabinets? Where are cables running to and from? What distances are the cable runs, will this mean you need CAT6, fiber, a mixture of the two? Will there be redundancy or will the comms cabs all be linked in chain? What power supplies will be needed and where?
2) Go over these plans with the SLT, the builders/site manager, anyone who will be involved in putting it together and make sure they understand how important it is that this is done right the first time - redoing it will not be an option as it will cost a fortune to put right mistakes that can be avoided by simply planning and communicating with each other properly.
3) Discuss with the SLT what their 'vision' is for IT in the school. Do you need an ICT suite, or are you going mobile with laptops? Do you need wireless access throughout the building, or only in certain areas? How is printing going to work, are they going to be wireless/wired, in set locations around the communcal areas, or in classrooms?
4) Talk with people about their office setup's. Where they are currently, is there IT connectivity? Does it work properly for them or would movement of network ports assist them? Do they need multiple ports, or can they be covered with wireless alone?
5) Lastly, don't be afraid of speaking up. I don't know how long you've worked in the school, but if it's anything more than a few months is highly likely that when it comes to the IT infrastucture you know what is needed better than anyone else, including the so-called "experts" who will come along and try to pursuade you that you need 4 data points in every classroom, a WAP in every room, offices with 3 staff kitted out for 6, and massively expensive extras that you could probably do for half the cost they'll want, if they're even needed.

I've enjoyed specifying what we need so far, up until this point everything has been planned higher up the chain than I so apart from insisting on minimum room sizes etc I haven't had too much input
Now suddenly the entire solution is in my hands, and it needs to be up and running as part of the build so I'm suddenly time critical if we are to move in on time, and I don't want to be the link that pushes everything back
Thanks Pete, although locations for cabs etc is pretty much set in stone already at this point, although data points and power points are still being discussed at the # per room level

Did your LA manage to build any schools under BSF including ICT? If so, have they any planning documents they can share with you?
I cannot offer you any project plans, but I can warn you of some potential pitfalls.
You need to consider how you will image & deploy software updates. You can get network enabled laptop trolleys with internal switches, which is fine in theory but you need someone to plug the network cables in when the laptops are stored. Don't rely on staff or students & make sure the devices you choose are robust enough to handle it; As part of our setup I have a 'fleet' of 300 laptops from a tier 1 supplier, within 4-6 months most of these suffered damage to their network ports due to incorrect handling. A combination of factors involving laptop design, trolley design, & using 'cheap' inflexible patch leads means very few of these system will now retain the RJ45 cable for any length of time.
Despite my school being designed for the 2st century, the company responsible for the infrastructure only provided 100mbit connections for the trolleys, not good if you have 30x laptops sharing a single 100mbit port.
At the moment we use MDT, WDS, & SCCM to roll out software as this was what we were provided with (We used to use Ghost). My biggest headache with this is not being able to predict when SCCM will get round to deploying all the packages .... you can never be certain when a system is 'ready to go'......
Apart from 150 desktops, 100 staff laptops, we have 500+ student laptops. I quietly despair at how we will reimage the student laptops with dodgy network ports, short of paying £XXXXX to get them fixed.
It may appear to be obvious, but make sure you decide what sort of interactive whiteboard/projector setup you intend using & share this with the architects/builders early on. Check the throw distances & mounting heights of your IWB solution as new schools tend to have lower ceilings.......above all make sure they install appropriate pattressing & support for these to be mounted ....... I speak from experience, we had many rooms with inadequate support & a couple of rooms with sloping ceilings that were too low for the projector mountings!
Inspect plans for every room; try to envisage where equipment will go... laptop trolleys, printers, projectors. Make sure they have the appropriate power points & circuit capacity & data points nearby & they have allowed enough space. We had a number of teaching spaces that had no power, or no data for equipment.
Remind them that servers need air conditioning.... & keep on reminding them until you actually see it installed & working!
Make sure anything you agree with the architects & builders is documented & circulated to all parties....... follow up casual discussions & verbal agreements with confirmation in writing; builders & architects are busy people, human like the rest of us & they forget things, especially when it is going to cost them money.
Good luck.
And if they say it's all going to be mobile, and you won't need ICT Suites, secretly plan for all that to fail, so you can easily retrofit a room as an ICT suite.3) Discuss with the SLT what their 'vision' is for IT in the school. Do you need an ICT suite, or are you going mobile with laptops? Do you need wireless access throughout the building, or only in certain areas? How is printing going to work, are they going to be wireless/wired, in set locations around the communcal areas, or in classrooms?
Yeah, you need at least 10 data points in every room, and 2 WAPs in some.5) Lastly, don't be afraid of speaking up. I don't know how long you've worked in the school, but if it's anything more than a few months is highly likely that when it comes to the IT infrastucture you know what is needed better than anyone else, including the so-called "experts" who will come along and try to pursuade you that you need 4 data points in every classroom, a WAP in every room, offices with 3 staff kitted out for 6, and massively expensive extras that you could probably do for half the cost they'll want, if they're even needed.
Rule 1: You can never have too many data points
Rule 2: You can never have too many power sockets
thanks guys - keep em coming
and yes we are mobile - although we still have 4 hardwired ICT Suites also
Managed wireless from Ruckas
New HP gigabit switches
Well equipped server room
Smoothwall web filter
New BT 100mbit Line
I'd love the opportunity to build something new
As networking goes... my advice is always to double up on wall ports (it is cheaper to put 2 in now than replace one when it gets damaged later). And don't forget to put extra ports in random locations (like in corridors in case of CCTV or signage... or above doors for access control).
And also try to get multiple routes to your edge cabs - even if money is too tight to have them live, it is handy for a manual switch over should one route be compromised by a JCB! And documentation... allow plenty of time for your cabling to be tested. You should have proof that every port works! And runs between cabinets should have plenty of spare cores if they are fibre
Excellent Guys. We have a new building happening in 1-2 years. So I have saved the longer posts to MS OneNote to refer back to. Hope no one minds. Building is "Performance hall" with 3 classrooms and some offices/resource room. ut up to planning app stage I have not been involved at all. Going to poke a stick in the wheels soon though :-)
Well I've just gone through a new build process, so can provide lots of advice/documentation etc if you want . I'm on holiday at the moment, but when I get back in a week or so I can send you some more information.
We're a little different to most schools though as IT was at the heart of the build (just ask any of the edugeekers that have visited ) so power/data/comms rooms/server rooms/it offices were all included very early on. Unfortunately for us we still have too few network points, and wireless wasn't factored in at all.

The dysfunction of our political system is now sapping confidence from businesses and families. It may be the single biggest hurdle standing in the way of our prosperity.
Barack Obama said it himself in his first post-election press conference. Speaking at the White House on November 14, Obama said conversations with families, workers and small business owners along the campaign trail had left him convinced that average Americans deserved more from Washington.
"When you talk to these folks," Obama said, "you say to yourself, 'Man, they deserve a better government than they've been getting.'"
As 2012 comes to a close, partisanship is slowing our economy, making our children unsafe and reducing our confidence in the future. In 2008, egregious behavior by bankers and regulators could be blamed for gutting the economy. In the 1970s, high union wages could be blamed for reducing the competitiveness of American industry. Today, our political dysfunction is our biggest economic and social liability.
Example one: the fiscal cliff. After two months of absurd political posturing, the country is four days away from a wholly preventable economic body-blow that will stall a fragile recovery. The same dynamic that occurred last summer during the debt-ceiling fiasco is repeating itself. The failure to compromise on fiscal policy is eroding consumer confidence and slowing the economy just as growth begins to take hold.
The problem is not that American companies and workers are uncompetitive. It is not that manufacturing jobs are flowing overseas. Those economic trends have largely played themselves out. It is a new dynamic: political deadlock handicapping our economy.
Michelle Meyer, senior U. S. economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said this week that "fiscal cliff" gamesmanship is a drag on the economy. Even if the cliff is averted in the next few days or weeks, Meyer estimated that the U.S. economy will grow by just 1 percent in the first quarter of 2013, a third of the 3.1 percent posted in the third quarter of 2012.
"What's been missing in this recovery has been confidence," Meyer told the New York Times. "We'd see a healthy recovery if it weren't for this uncertainty and the potential shock from Washington."
A second example is compromising on rising gun violence. In the wake of the murder of two firefighters in Rochester, New York and 20 first-graders in Newtown, Connecticut, the debate over gun violence devolved into a familiar pattern. Liberal commentators blamed the National Rifle Association. The NRA blamed the news media.
In truth, seizing the 300 million guns that now circulate among America's 315 million people is unrealistic. So is placing armed guards in each of the country's roughly 100,000 public schools. Instead, polls show that most Americans support a mix of reforms.
A majority of Americans continue to oppose a ban on assault rifles, a divisive issue that has long been supported by liberals but vehemently opposed by conservatives, according to polls. At the same time, the vast majority of Americans support stricter control of handguns, more effective background checks at gun shows, and a ban on large-capacity ammunition clips that hold dozens of rounds. In the wake of Newtown, improving our identification and treatment of the mentally ill is also vital.

Coffee deliveries from farms in Indonesia, the world's third-biggest producer of the robusta variety, fell 32 percent from last year as wet weather delayed bean drying, according to Amsterdam-based trader Nedcoffee BV.
Bean deliveries to Bandar Lampung, where the country's main coffee export port is located, amounted to 40,669 metric tons from the start of the season through June 7, the trader said in a monthly report e-mailed today. That compares with 60,220 tons a year earlier. Rainfall in Indonesia delayed shipments, forecaster World Weather Inc. in Overland Park, Kansas, said in an e-mailed report yesterday.
"There is little sunshine at the coffee-growing areas," Nedcoffee said. "Therefore, a lot of cherries need to dry longer, which causes the farmers to delay picking the red beans for a certain time because they have a lack of drying space. The delay in picking these red cherries might impact the quality."
Farmers in Indonesia's main growing region of southern Sumatra harvested 86,100 tons of coffee in the first 15 weeks of the season, estimates Nedcoffee. That compares with 87,000 tons a year earlier, according to data from the trader, which owns a factory there with storage capacity of 300,000 bags. Indonesia is harvesting its 2013-14 crop and the season there usually starts in about April.
Bean Inventories
Coffee stockpiles held by exporters in Bandar Lampung are "very low," according to the report. While deliveries from farms last month totaled 29,165 tons, shipments in the same period were 29,554 tons, the trader said. Exporters are having "trouble to deliver coffee in time," Nedcoffee said.
Vietnam, the world's biggest robusta coffee grower, may be able to ship only 89,000 tons a month from June to September, the trader estimates. The pace of shipments mean stockpiles are being withdrawn, with traders' inventory dropping 30,663 tons last month to 175,886 tons, Nedcoffee said.
Farmers and middlemen still held 357,000 tons, or 24 percent of Vietnam's crop, as of June 1, according to Nedcoffee, which has offices there. The 2012-13 season ends Sept. 30.
Robusta coffee for delivery in September fell 0.7 percent to $1,752 a ton by 1:46 p.m. on NYSE Liffe in London.

Does anyone even know what really happens to an uncapped Indian player in the IPL? They are crumbs in the mix, with no standing whatsoever. They get pushed around and can't raise a point, let alone push for their places in the side. It's like they're paid a king's ransom (for them) and so they should stay quiet. A clear example is that of a Punjab player who was shooed off a bench supposedly for KXIP VIPs, even though he's an experienced Punjab Ranji player. All the overseas players bar a few get all the games they can get, while uncapped Indian players get rotated virtually every match. Mitchell Marsh, not even an Aussie national regular, is a frontline player for one team! IPL teams fight tooth and nail for foreign imports but neglect their domestic Indian players. Not surprisingly, some of them get desperate, like the seven examples (not counting the one who's earning seriously big money), who may have been fed up with the preferential mistreatment.
Billions betrayed for a hundred thousand? The only people betrayed by fixing are the greedy, thoughtless franchise owners, so in a way it's a good thing such an incident happened. Now they're moaning in public about how the public is being cheated. From an Indian supporter's point of view, no IPL franchise has contributed to the Indian cricket scene.
"Talent is nothing without opportunity"

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?

Investigate all the Pakistan players!

But no, it's not equally likely that someone in poverty with only 2k to be as resistant to a 100k bribe compared to someone with 200 mil. That's not how human nature works.

People are either corrupt or not. Their breaking points differ from person to person in the corrupt category. Some never break. To say everyone is corruptible is plain cynicism and untrue. There are people who cannot be bought.
He is talking about 2 corrupt persons out of whom one is rich and the other not so rich.
It is less probable that the richer guy takes an amount which is 5 times less his annual earnings than a poor guy taking an amount which is 5 times his earnings..

@ tC Paulie I'd like to see you post your game with Jax and see how fine you make him look.
omg i cant believe this thread
as someone who mains jax, i can say hes def not underpowered, if you can't live long enuff ur useing the wrong build.after getting all my items, im virtually unkillable unless caught off guard, I eat tanks, destory carrys, 2 shot casters, and walk away with full health,
I have not seen a Jax carry a team after the nerf they done to him
@specialT123 lol I will bet you played lower elos. thats why you feel godly
@SpecialT123: i went on lolbase, and checked your profile, from what i could see in the 16 matches that are shown you've played Jax 3 times, did horribly 2 times and one time went 3/1/6. But as i see you play with bunch of other Special"random letter"123 you must be special indeed to do well with Jax, 2 losses out of 3 ain't that bad amirite?

I have a feeling that only low level elo comments that jax is fine.
Rich Nips
He just needs a better early game. Late game is just plain rapes everything in sight. Even purple caster minions tremble against late game Jax.
Frankly, Jax is just like Master Yi. He is so-so early and mid game but the longer the game goes on the more dangerous he becomes until he is uncontrollable. This seems to be the trend with champions that scale well off of attack speed. Jax doesn't need a buff, just a little change to shift some of his strength from the end game to the early game, not just make him OP the whole game. Once people see this they shouldn't whine but they will because there will always be whiners. The fact of the matter is a Carry, which is what Jax is, are supposed to be insanely strong late game, thus the "Carry" part.

Even if you're not a huge music fan and don't actually buy all that many albums or singles, there's no getting away from the fact that music has a huge presence in our everyday lives. It's everywhere – on TV, in films, in elevators, at the end of the line when you've called to complain about your heating bill. We may not always notice how music infiltrates our subconscious, but we'd certainly notice a world without it.
The spread of broadband worldwide has meant that music has been brought to an even wider audience and exposed music lovers to every genre imaginable. Previously, anyone who lived in a remote village or rural area would have had to rely on the radio to get their music fix, or stock up on their favourite albums on shopping expeditions to bigger towns. Nowadays however, all anyone needs to build up their music collection is a PC and a broadband connection.
The advent of the Internet has also meant that we have access to a huge amount of free music. Bands, producers and singers who are trying to build up a new fan base, or simply show appreciation for the fans they already have will often offer free music downloads on their websites. It's an instant way of connecting with people and at the end of the day, who doesn't appreciate the offer of free music? Marketing at its best!
Of course the radical changes in our music buying habits haven't been entirely positive. While most people welcome the opportunity to buy MP3 downloads at a very reasonable price, the growth of illegal online music sites has been an issue from day one that music industry bodies are still tackling. It would be nice to say that the majority of people do actually pay for their MP3 downloads, but a recent survey carried out by the The Recording Industry Association of America revealed that only 1/6 of the people surveyed who bought online music said they exclusively used legal sites, while 51% admitted acquiring their music downloads from illegal sites.
There are those who argue that free music downloads should be the exception rather than the rule and that artists should accept that the majority of their money will now come from touring and merchandising. While this might seem like a reasonable argument for big name stars, it leaves new and up and coming artists in a vulnerable position. The fact is they rely on fans paying for their MP3 downloads as they certainly don't make money from gigging in small bars and clubs.
Free music for all is a great idea in theory, but in practice is not a viable option for emerging artists. The costs involved in producing, distributing and marketing a record mean that unless it is a massive success, there is very little profit to be made. The growth of online music and the fact that music downloads now outsell CDs has certainly made it easier for artists to connect with their audience, but the falling revenue from CD sales has put many struggling artists under huge pressure. Most will tell you that they don't make a living from their music and the overall advice to anyone hoping to carve a career in the music industry seems to be 'don't give up the day job!'

Team Australia EMS competing recently in Singapore.
A team of Queensland paramedics are inspiring paramedics around Australia to expand their horizons.
Team Australia EMS, comprising lead paramedic Neil Noble, Amy Michelle Craike, Colin Allen, Gary Berkowitz and Alan Mountford, recently won the 2012 Professional Rescue Competition in Singapore.
The team has been forging a name for itself internationally after attending the 2011 and 2012 EMS Today Conference and the JEMS Games, both in the United States – and it now has its sights set on returning to the States next year.
Mr Noble said other states from across Australia have shown interest in developing EMS teams, and he encouraged paramedics to "expand your horizons".
a global network of paramedics and emergency service personnel around the world and through social media or physically travelling there's an invaluable amount of information out there," he said.
"We absolutely love it. For me, it's really interesting to meet people doing the same work in different countries with different systems.
"At the end of the day a sick patient is a sick patient. It's how people manage it.
"The travelling bug has hit and it's also really great to meet people who do the same work that you do in a different way."
Mr Noble, who is based in Cairns, said the team's mission was to network with paramedics from across the globe and share knowledge, ideas and experiences, with the aim of bringing that information back to Australia for the benefit of Australians.
"The main aim of this competition and the professional development is going and working with paramedics from around the world and sharing our ideas with them and hopefully get ideas from them to implement in Australia," he said.
In its first time in the Professional Rescue Competition, the team clinched top honours against teams from Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Korea and China in front of an international judging contingent.
The team tested its pre-hospital emergency care in a range of scenarios, including a patient suffering from a cardiac arrest, a snake bite victim, and a car accident with two patients with varying injuries.
Mr Noble said the injuries tested paramedics on their knowledge of the latest research.
"We did exceptionally well – we came out on top," he said.
"It was very tough and it was very interesting to see how the different countries do things to achieve the same outcome."
Team Australia EMS will present to the Annual Conference of Paramedics Australasia in November and it plans to put together a study tour to go to the EMS Today Conference in Washington in March next year.

Salt Lake City Reporter Buttonholes The Book of Mormon
According to showbiz columnist Roger Friedman, The Book of Mormon Broadway musical producer Scott Rudin is having a big media elite pow wow lunch tomorrow in New York to stoke the fires of Matt Stone and Trey Parker's highly anticipated new venture, set to open Thursday March 24th.
But from a west coast media perspective, it makes much more sense to see how the show is being advance-played in the state of its creative genesis. Salt Lake City Tribune reporter Peggy Fletcher recently shared an intriguing Q&A with Stone. The lede is pretty funny:
Matt Stone, one half the South Park writing duo, is not now, nor has he ever been a Mormon. Neither is his creative partner, Trey Parker. They don't have Mormons in their family trees, despite rumors to the contrary circulating madly online and in Mormon circles.

New work by Ray Lema
France / Congo DRC / Belgium
New work : Friday 23rd March 2012 - Hexagone Meylan
Ray Lema piano, vocals, composition - Freddy Massamba vocals, percussions, laptop - Irving Acao-Sierra saxophone - Henri Dorina bass - Vivianne Arnoux accordion - Tshimanga Mwamba luba drum, djitumba, tumba - Tandjolo Yatshi lokombe slit drum - Ngalula Cécile vocals, clave - KMS (Kin Maffia Style) Pasciphik PHK & 2 boul vocals, lyrics
Ray Lema is a master drummer, pianist, singer, composer and musical adventurer, and for over 30 years, he has been putting his African vision of composition into practice. At present, Ray Lema is thinking, doubting, rebelling, worrying and dreaming. His quest for the structures of African music goes hand in hand with his questioning, his doubts and his commitment to the fight for the tolerance and respect of all peoples.
"Station Congo", commissioned by the Festival, affords him the opportunity of returning, after 32 years, to his native country: today's Congo, with its energy and its battles, and to unite traditional artists from Congo, as well as the new generation of urban musicians from Kinshasa, all spurred on by the power of words in the fight against violence, war and inevitability in a country hard hit in its history and culture.
Command and production CIMN/2012 in partnership with the Hexagone - Scène nationale de Meylan, in coproduction with the Fondation Royaumont and with the support of the French Institute and of the Délégation Wallonie-Bruxelles de Kinshasa.

"How to write about the world's utopias? How to write about a journey for spectators neatly lined up along an avenue? How to make everyone listen to the noise of the world, when they are simply expecting a colourful parade?"
The Détours de Babel is associating with the "Fabrique des Petites Utopies" for a big parade through the streets of the Grenoble metropolitan area. A giant convoy, made up of four "World Floats" (western, eastern, Latin-American and African) surrounded by over a thousand young participants, winding through the streets of Crolles, Eybens, Fontaine and the Mistral Quarter before crossing through the centre of Grenoble and stopping right smack in the middle of Paul Mistral Park for a big dance to world music rhythms.

What does democracy sound like? Music accompanies revolts, and certain melodies and songs are identified as revolutionary symbols. However, these same songs later become pillars of conformism, as often happens with national anthems, which frequently begin their lives as songs of revolt and defiance.
Das Kapital, a dynamic trio on the free jazz scene, veterans of both improvisation and interpretation, invites us to revisit the hymns and songs of revolt, in the company of the rebel singer André Minvielle and with the help of the children's choir of two classes from Fontaine, led by Brigitte Calvi.

New Work by Mike Ladd
USA / Irak
New work : Wednesday 28th March 2012 - La Source/Fontaine
Mike Ladd artistic director, poet and performerAhmed Abdul Hussein poet, performer - Maurice Decaul poet, veteran - Vijay Iyer composer, improviser, pianist and music director - Serge Teyssot-Gay electric guitar - Ahmed Mukhtar oud - Mona Ghosn
translation Arabic / English - Rola El-Sayed translation Arabic / French
This ambitious project emerged from the idea of putting one of the bloodiest conflicts of the beginning of the 21st century into sound, of course, but perhaps even more importantly, into words. This war is the one in Iraq. These are words that American soldiers uttered to Mike Ladd, a slammer and poet from New York, who then transformed them into original poems of rare intensity. The next step was to give life to Sleep Song, with the words of an Iraqi: Ahmed Abdul Hussein. Like Mike Ladd, Hussein used the war as a source and turned this material into poems.
How can the sounds of English and Arabic, carried by music, carve out a path people can take? If nothing other than to ensure that each ex-enemy regains an identity, Sleep Song is worth it...

France / Argentine
New work : Thursday 29th March 2012 - Amphithéâtre/Pont-de-Claix
Temps Relatif vocal ensemble - Luc Denoux conducting - Alejandro Viñao electronics
Reflecting the recent global financial crisis, "Greed" is a compelling, original work that takes on its full meaning in the excesses of financial capitalism. The Argentine composer Alejandro Viñao evokes the intense desire for riches and power that characterises people in our contemporary society.
Although the show's music is mostly inspired by popular dances, from hip-hop to the tango, the relationship to texts (money seen by Quevedo, Molière, Shakespeare and Marx) and to advertising slogans also gives Viñao precious material to create a compelling work for voice and electronics.

Following on from her thesis research, George is continuing her work in Daniel's lab as a postdoc where she is preparing to analyse the muscle structure of tethered moths in flight using X-ray diffraction at the Argonne National Laboratory. However, George's career choice is not quite as conventional as it might at first seem. George says, 'I have always enjoyed science and I want to continue working in science but I have always been interested in how to enact change on a global level and how science can be used to do that'. This led her to take the summer out from research and accept an internship at the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, a philanthropic organisation supporting a wide range of community and environmental projects in the Pacific Northwest. However, since returning to the lab, George has maintained contact with the foundation, where she is continuing to advise their scientific program. 'I am looking at the field of ocean health, analysing opportunities for success. It's very fun and I get to learn a lot of new things', George smiles.
Reflecting on the muscle project's achievements, Daniel says, 'When you work with really great grad students and postdocs like Nicole and Simon, their discoveries open your eyes and it's usually their fresh views that make you go, "Ha, I wonder why it's like that?" They don't have the biases built in', he chuckles, adding, 'we will all be going out to celebrate Nicole's success'.

When it's time for a break from Italy's art museums, Roman ruins, and churches filled with Old Masters paintings, sunseekers flock to the Amalfi Coast to hobnob with the glitterati in Positano, drink in the maritime memories of the proud old republic of Amalfi, and get lost in the fragrant hilltop gardens of Ravello. These pastel fishing villages cling to hillsides or lie in deep green valleys, strung along a dramatic coastline of plunging cliffs connected by the breathtaking Amalfi Drive: a gravity-defying thrill ride of a road stretching from the Bay of Naples to the Gulf of Salerno.

The beauty of southern Italy's Amalfi Coast is legendary, and has inspired artists, writers, and such illustrious musicians as Richard Wagner. And it's little wonder why: Here, vibrant, village-strewn cliffs jut into the sea. During the summer, notes of lemon hang in the air and festivals enliven hamlets along the drive from the Bay of Naples to the Gulf of Salerno, making it the ideal time to travel to the Amalfi Coast.

Things Not to Miss on the Amalfi Coast

Equal parts culture and nature, this stretch of coastline draws sunseekers to its hilltop gardens, art collections, green valleys, music performances, and the glitzy see-and-be-seen resort town of Positano. Highlights of T+L's Amalfi Coast travel guide include:

 • Touring the Villa Cimbrone
 • Museo Correale (Neapolitan arts housed in an 18th-century villa)
 • The Sant'Antonino Festival
 • Sagra del Tonno
 • Africana Club (fish swim beneath its glass dance floor)
 • Shopping at Antonello della Mura
 • Touring Duomo

When To Visit the Amalfi Coast

Spring is the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast. July and August are high season for Amalfi Coast travel; temperatures can creep quite high and parking can be a challenge. Fall (especially November) and winter are rainy. The Ravello Festival, an annual arts and music festival, takes place throughout the summer in the town of Ravello.

A pre-established structured organisation, regardless of its perceived efffectiveness, will allow large groups to work together so that that far reaching goals can be achieved.
Are you implying that you have this profound insight in human behaviour such that you can extrapolate this knowledge and predict the human condition in a hypothetical situation that none of us have ever witnessed?
I admit, I lost you there. So you make a distinction between finished luxury products and resources to produce those luxury products?
What if someone were to make his/her own homegrown cheese, a luxury item, after receiving the resources to produce it on a regular basis. Would that person be allowed to distribute that cheese as he or she sees fit or would a "centralised authority" decide how that luxury item is distributed?
True, which is why I found it odd that you would attribute such property to my character. I expected just a simple "yes" or "no" .
I am indeed not a religious person but denouncing religion myself does not automatically imply that I do not accept that to be a valid way of life for others.
I think this is one of the main flaws. The founders of such society would probably live in harmony but there is absolutely no guarantee that future generations will continue with that philosophy.
What is the deal with vegetarianism? From what I understand, the people's diet should not interfere with the "mechanics" of your society. It seems to me that you are imposing some of your own morality.

Do you ever wonder what the a owner is doing with your vehicle after you trade it in? Mark Oberholtzer of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, TX, has no need to imagine, but it's probably his worst nightmare. That's because an image of his old Ford F-250 is now on Twitter as a gun platform in the Syrian Civil War.
Sweden's Teknikens Värld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle.
Anticipation for all of the exciting reveals at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show just a few weeks away is building to a fever pitch, and rumors are mounting that Ford has a big surprise in store in the shape of a future performance halo model.
Ford adds 447,000 vehicles to list
Ford Motor Co. has agreed to government demands to expand a driver's side air bag inflator recall to the entire U.S.
Gasoline in the US continues its weeks-long descent with prices down about 13 cents a gallon over last week to $2.544, which is lower by around 69 cents/gallon from this time last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Many drivers are welcoming the lower bills at the gas station as a fantastic holiday gift, but Ford investors are somewhat spooked over the potential sales implications for the 2015 F-150.
Ford is rumored to possibly debut a new F-150 Raptor at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in January, but whether that's the case or not, Hennessey Performance is ready to fill the muscle truck niche now with its latest VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged based on the 2015 F-150.
Think getting your hands on one of the 1,964 50th Anniversary Ford Mustangs is hard as a civilian? Imagine how tough it might be for the Mustang fanatics in our nation's military. Perhaps recognizing this fact, Ford Emerging Market Services and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation (the only Ford-authorized retailer on the military's bases) ran a raffle, with the winners receiving the opportunity to purchase one of the limited-edition muscle cars.
Mercedes-Benz GLE, the next Audi Q7, 12 Performance Fords by 2020

The United Auto Workers union is about to enter a new round of negotiations with the Detroit Three automakers, and this time, the focus is on the end of the two-tier wage system.
Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five.
Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort ou
Ford just keeps rolling out the big announcements today. We've already told you about the next-gen Focus RS coming to the US and the upcoming Sync 3 infotainment system. And this latest one should perk up the ears of racing fans or anyone who enjoys an enthusiastic drive (basically, all Autoblog readers).
MyFord Touch has been among the most widely disdained automotive infotainment systems on the market, practically since its introduction in 2010. Consumer Reports was among the most vocal critics, all but advocating its lynching by an angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks. Not surprisingly, then, after such a critical walloping, Ford has finally decided to say goodbye to the unloved tech, declaring the end of MyFord Touch branding in favor of Sync 3 for its upcoming, all-new system.
"We are transforming our approach to performance." – Mark Fields
Today, Ford wishes its first experience with non-hybrid continuously variable transmissions was far behind it. The Blue Oval was awash in complaints and a couple of class-action lawsuits over the CVTs used in its 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, Five Hundred and Mercury Montego models, which were a manufactured in Batavia, Ohio as part of a joint venture with ZF. The company gave up on the CVT after just two years, but with fuel economy standards pressing automakers to conjure new tricks, Ford's global
Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers.

Proposition 5: ADK land swap
By Matt Ryan
Matt Ryan takes a look at one of the constitutional amendments on the November ballot. Proposition 5 involves a land swap in Essex County where New York State would give NYCO Minerals the right to mine an additional 200 acres of the State Forest Preserve and in return the company would give the state 1,500 acres and the additional 200 once they've finished mining. NYCO produces eight percentage of the world's supply of wollastonite, a mineral used in plastics, paint and as a substitute for asbestos. Most, but not all, environmental groups approve of the swap. Watch the full episode above.
