Steve Eaton: The Beatles and the day I feared my parents would twist and shout and pass out
Associated Press
Last week there was a reunion of sorts for The Beatles. It happened during a program commemorating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
The program, "The Night That Changed the America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles," was a tribute to the Fab Four and two of The Beatles were there to take it in.
Toward the end of the show, Paul McCartney stood on stage singing "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" and when he sang, "Let me introduce to you, the one and only Billy Shears," Ringo Starr ran out on stage. It was a moment I had been waiting for since before the Bee Gees were on the radio.
It was a glorious thing, even though Paul and Ringo look strangely older now and didn't sing it breath for breath like I do when I sing along with the album. It was a Beatles reunion. Some say that it doesn't count because John and George could not be there.
It counts.
I have had a special tie to The Beatles my entire life because I know if I had been born in a different time and place, and had showed up with talent, looks, charisma, connections and an English accent, I could have been one of The Beatles. I was that close.
I remember when I first heard of The Beatles I asked my uncle, who knew all about such things, what he could tell me about this strange group. He told me it was an unusual band in that some people liked it and its music so much that if they ended up in the band's presence they would scream and pass out.
I found that to be a very frightening thought and wondered if I would be at risk if I ever bumped into them at the grocery store or church. I was 8 years old. The way I understood it, if you pass out your body just slumps over and your head smacks against whatever happens to be in the area.
At first I was opposed to The Beatles.
I must have kept this reaction thing a secret from my parents because I know that we watched The Beatles debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. We were in a relatively soft place, seated on our sofa as we watched, and I really wanted to see what would happen. Since my dad viewed long hair much like some people today view cross dressing, I couldn't imagine him screaming and passing out the minute they began to play. It still seemed like it would be cool to see him do that ... if I didn't pass out first.
We soon discovered that watching them on TV did not produce the hysteria that apparently really happened to people in their presence. We could see their frenzied reaction on television. It was troubling. It made me worry about what would happen if they were ever introduced to the president. Back in the Cold War days, having the president of the United States scream like a girl and pass out would have been a very bad thing.
Later, it was a friend who taught me how to appreciate The Beatles properly. He was a quiet, patient, teenager who had a clean room and a unique way of presenting their music. I remember when he purchased the White Album. He invited me over, gave me an introduction like he was an academic about to present a paper, and then he gently put the needle on the album, on the first track, and we would listen from beginning to end.
There was no screaming or even talking allowed. He acted like he was one of a handful of people in the world who could appreciate the music he had personally discovered.
It made me want to be a Beatle even more. I've thought a lot about how my life would have been different if I had been one of them. I worry that I might have wrecked things.

"Do not spend so much time in the bed Oh my dear friend, only pros****tes can make money there" : more...
That's weird. The [Give Rep] button should work every time.
- reputation comments don't show on all threads. That's a forum setting, the purpose of which eludes most of us
- another forum setting makes sure that people don't flood their buddies with rep points. That is why one cannot
give rep >0 points to the same person every time. One needs to 'rep' others (I'm not sure how many) before one
is able to give rep to the same person again.

No rep points to give all the time
I have a related question. I'm still trying to figure out the "weight' of a rep. I originally thought if I had '50' to give, if I only rep'd somebody '25', I would still have '25' for that person. Apparently that's not the case. Once you rep somebody, I have to wait until the the "rep gun" is full again.
Do you always rep somebody the full "weight"?
Not positive but I think it works this way.
If you give 50 to someone their rep moves up .5
25 it's .25, 100 would be 1, 1925 would be 19.25
I think your correct about the giving 5 different users before you can give the same person rep again.
Bu that's just a guess.

to your financial advisor practice.
Thanksgiving is a holiday of traditions. Each year, friends and family gather to enjoy the ones that have been passed down for generations, or to create ones of their own. And, let's not forget the time-honored spectacle of helium-inflated superheroes and other beloved characters gliding above Manhattan to the delight of the young – and the young-at-heart.
But, here's the thing: most traditions are hard work.
OK, sitting in front of the TV watching football, or Snoopy, isn't too arduous. But, for the most part, tradition equals effort. That's because traditions involve adhering to a standard, and it's usually a high one.
At FSC, we have traditions of accountability, accessibility and excellence. Investors rely on their advisors to help them build financial security. And our advisors rely on us to assist them. Meeting the challenges of the ever-evolving financial services landscape head on takes insight, focus and tenacity. And, it takes an unwavering commitment to customized support powered by the stability and resources of one of the largest networks of independent broker-dealers in the nation.
From Advisor Support to Training and Education; from our National Sales Team to our on-the-ground Business Development Representatives; from investment product analysts to retirement planning specialists… The service is personalized. The support is comprehensive. The technologies are cutting-edge. It's what our advisors – and their clients – deserve.
And, we're thankful for the opportunity to assist our advisors in their vital work.
Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at FSC.
Individual Investors… Small Business Owners… Parents with a Special Needs Child…
Retirement…Charitable Giving…Education… A Legacy…
Our advisors support a wide variety of clients and their equally diverse goals. And while these investors and their objectives differ, they ALL engage an independent financial advisor for the same reason: they need the unbiased assistance of a trained professional.
Our seven member Investment Research Team serves as an accessible expert resource for the unbiased investment guidance our advisors require. Advisors can tap into the team's expertise in any number of ways, including: white papers, conference calls – the team hosts three calls per month on various topics – individual consultations, and our Mutual Fund Reference List.
Our Retirement Plans Team specializes in helping advisors in all phases of retirement planning business. From identifying opportunities, to narrowing down the appropriate product for a plan, the team's familiarity with evolving regulations, plan design and creating group retirement business plans are a great resource for our advisors looking to build their retirement plan business.
Our Insurance Services Team helps our advisors make smart decisions regarding the use of insurance products and insurance based solutions. Their responsibility is to find out what role insurance plays in an advisor's practice, what type of service and support the advisor needs to grow that segment of their practice and then to bring that support to bear. In addition to life insurance, the Insurance Services department provides financial advisors access to an array of additional market solutions through Indexed Annuities.
Successful advisors take a personal interest in each of their clients. That's what successful broker-dealers do as well. Our advisors ARE our clients, and they deserve the type of support they themselves provide. As part of one of the nation's largest independent broker-dealer networks, our firm has the financial stability and resources to offer advisors robust and state-of-the-art tools and services. Yet, because we retain our own firm identity within the network, we're able to offer the personalized support that strives to make a difference in every interaction. It's a balancing act that we believe we've perfected.
Our annual ConnectED conference, held on September 8-12 in Nashville, was once again a huge success, providing unique networking and learning opportunities for our financial advisors across all of our broker-dealers. This conference is AIG Advisor Group's premiere educational event of the year and one of the many educational and networking opportunities the firm provides. Topics covered included Marketing Strategies, Female Perspectives on Investing, Social Media, and more.
The conference commenced with another impressive line up of keynote speakers for our General Sessions, including AIG Advisor Group President and CEO Erica McGinnis, AIG Life and Retirement President and CEO Jay Wintrob, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Day Two featured keynote speaker Cam Marston, a leading expert on generational characteristics, while newly named President and CEO of AIG Peter Hancock and Pulitzer Prize winning author and historian David McCullough addressed attendees on Day Three.
ConnectED 2014 offered more than 80 breakout sessions for advisors to choose from, with over half offering Continuing Education credits. This year, more than 50% of the breakouts were at an advanced "301" level.
We look forward to another fabulous experience at next year's conference in San Antonio.
Our firm is gratified by what we've accomplished so far in 2014 as well as by what's to come. In order to maintain this momentum, we know that we need to continue to provide our advisors with the best resources and support to help them achieve success.
With our Business Analytics reporting feature, advisors have the ability to run reports that separate their business assets at multiple levels, enabling them to analyze their clients and accounts by areas such as asset segments, age ranges, and AUM.
Salesforce provides a cloud-based CRM that consolidates information on clients, prospects and leads. It's accessible to advisors directly from Advisor Portal, with no additional cost.
Our advisors also have access to our Business Value Program (BVP), an archived library of whitepapers, templates, and sample legal agreements providing education and guidance on the subject matter of practice value, acquisitions and succession planning.
Succession Resource Group (SRG) services can be leveraged to help advisors with valuing, protecting, growing, and transitioning their business.
Last but not least, this year's Connected 2014 conference will take place at the Gaylord Opryland, from September 8-12. We once again have an impressive line-up of keynote speakers, some of the best educational and training sessions we have offered, and top-class entertainment.
We're doing our best to invest in our advisors for the long term. Taking advantage of these top notch resources can help ensure success.
Until recently, when it came to weather, you had two types of people: the ones who enjoyed it and those who complained about it. But, now, we've also got people who record it. The more dramatic, the better. Sometimes, with no regard for their own safety and always with the hope of "going viral" in the back of their minds. But, watching an event isn't as productive as being prepared for it.
Preparation is key to handling storms – both weather-related and financial. That's why it's good to always have an umbrella and a financial advisor ready to help provide cover. You never know what's going to come raining down. Our affiliated advisors are trained in the art of helping investors navigate the uncertainty that financial and economic conditions engender. They've chosen our firm as their broker-dealer because we equip them with the resources they need to get the job done.
Our new Business Analytics Reporting features give our advisors the ability to review their practices from multiple angles, to better focus their efforts and support their clients. The result? The ability to deploy data intelligence that truly informs their client interactions – all in real time.
Providing their clients with the specific products and services they need to build a financial future they can count on – in all environments – is job one for our advisors. It's our privilege to assist them in their efforts.
Happening Now… is Happening Next Month
The excitement is building for the 2014 Women's Conference, a three-day event that brings together female financial professionals from across our firms to enjoy networking and educational opportunities. This year's conference will spotlight what is happening now in the industry — with a particular focus on female advisors and female investors. Educational topics include:
The conference will feature renowned keynote speakers Sallie Krawcheck and Jessica Jackley, and numerous Partner firms will be on hand in the exhibition hall to engage attendees.
Again, AIG Advisor Group's Generation i initiative will play a key role at the conference, as the winner of this year's Generation i Community Leadership Award is announced and the Generation i team hosts young women from the local Junior Achievement chapter at the conference.
AIG Advisor Group's unwavering commitment to female financial professionals and female investors is on full display at this one-of-a-kind event. We're proud to host some of the finest women in our industry at this conference, which gets bigger and better with each passing year.
Spring may be in the air across the United States, but so is the faint aura of panic – emanating primarily from those last-minute U.S. income tax filers. And you know who you are…
Complex tax regulations are challenging to even the financially savvy. Tapping a reliable source of information is crucial to navigating the waters. Fortunately, financial professionals affiliated with our network of broker-dealers have access to our Advanced Sales and Qualified Plans Team – a resource our advisors depend on to help clarify the ever-evolving tax landscape.*
A unique offering within the independent broker-dealer channel, The Advanced Sales and Qualified Plans Team serves as a technical resource to help advisors address the tax and planning issues presented by their clients. The Team also provides advisors with information that they can use to educate their clients, thereby allowing those clients to have better discussions with their personal tax and legal advisors.
Team members also conduct webinars and publish papers on specific topics and are available for individual consultative conversations with advisors.
Providing our advisors with access to such a resource is just part of the service and support we make available. Visit other pages of this website to learn more about our offerings.
*The Team provides tax information, not tax advice.
It's that time of year again… yes, "March Madness" is upon us. As college hoop fans everywhere don their team colors and put pen to paper to fill in their "brackets," a lot of thought is given to which team is destined to go the distance.
While we don't know who, ultimately, will claim the NCAA basketball championship trophy, we can all be sure of the skills the winning team will possess. These are the skills EVERY winning team must bring to the court in order to be successful:
While a good number of our advisors follow us on Facebook, we don't believe they go so far as to paint their faces with our corporate colors to cheer us on. They simply expect excellence, and don't make a big deal out of it. And, we simply provide excellence. And, we don't make a big deal out of it either. It's just what we do.
Our firm is backed by an expansive and deep team of professionals dedicated to winning. Whether it's promptly addressing an advisor inquiry, providing personalized training on technology offerings, thoroughly analyzing product offerings, ensuring regulatory compliance, or providing comprehensive recruiting and transition support, our home office team always has its eyes on the prize: making our firm the broker-dealer of choice for successful independent financial professionals.
With the 2014 Winter Olympic Games set to begin in Sochi, Russia in February, it brings to mind the rewards of excellence. Here in the broker-dealer business, we don't aspire to gold medals; but, there are a number of other indicators we can point to that affirm we are hitting the mark.
Are successful financial advisors joining our ranks?
In 2013 over 400 independence-minded advisors joined our firms across the network, drawn by our award-winning technologies, stellar customer support and expansive product offerings. And, 2014 has all the makings of an outstanding recruiting year as well, as advisors looking to make a move are attracted by the individualized support and robust services available we make available.
Are our affiliated advisors happy with the level of service and support?
Right now, we enjoy an historically high advisor retention rate of 98% across our network. 2013 saw the introduction of Generation i, a broad-based initiative focusing on women as consumers and providers of financial services, the launch of a next-generation advisory platform, and a successful, ConnectED education conference in Las Vegas, which attracted over 1,300 attendees and featured over 125 educational sessions. Our Investment Research Team's informed, objective due diligence guidance is just a phone call – or mouse click – away. What's not to love?
Are we providing the support our affiliated advisors need to grow their businesses?
New, data-driven business analytics capabilities designed to help our advisors assess their practices are now available, and we are poised to roll out a new Retirement Plans Consulting Services team to assist our advisors with their qualified plan business. The Succession Planning resources advisors need to grow and transition their businesses are being expanded. Our Annuity Intelligence comparison tool helps our advisors quickly compare and contrast hundreds of investment options. And, our expanded Social Media support services can help our advisors engage their clients using Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn – no matter what their level of expertise is.
The year ahead is brimming with new opportunities to support our current advisors and welcome new ones to our network of independent broker-dealers. Learn more about what we offer by visiting the various pages of this website.
As we approach the end of the year, we would like to take a moment to look back on some highlights of 2013. Woodbury Financial's integration into the Advisor Group network of broker-dealers continued apace, with a number of successful milestones reached on schedule. Generation i, Advisor Group's community for independent women, was introduced at this year's Women's Conference in Chicago and continues to build momentum. Our state-of-the-art advisory platform, VISION2020 Wealth Management Platform, was upgraded to include mobility and a host of additional features. In addition, the platform's Model Strategist offering was expanded to include 5 model portfolios from Advisor Group Research. Our second annual ConnectED conference, which featured education and training sessions, keynote speakers, and top-class entertainment was a resounding success. Advisor Group also welcomed new CEO and President Erica McGinnis. While there have been challenges to overcome, we are grateful for the successes realized. Best wishes to you and your loved ones during the holiday season and here's looking forward to a happy, healthy and successful new year.

Storm still trying to break out of first-quarter rut
The Storm has struggled in the first quarters of games this season, particularly in recent games. Coach Brian Agler has moved Shekinna Stricklen into the starting lineup, replacing Noelle Quinn, in an effort to find more offense.
Seattle Times staff reporter
L.A. Sparks @ Storm, 7 p.m., KONG
The Storm has stopped talking about it.
Seattle has been outscored 302-220 in the first quarter of its games this season. The Storm has scored in double figures in the opening quarter in only two of its past five games. The sole positive is the team is 5-7 when trailing after the first 10 minutes, so a bad start doesn't always mean a loss.
Not that the team finds comfort in the fact.
For the third straight game, Storm coach Brian Agler will start second-year forward Shekinna Stricklen in hopes the move will generate early scoring when Seattle (6-9) hosts Los Angeles (11-5) on Saturday. The Storm has been outscored 39-23 to start games since the change Sunday, defeating then-Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta and losing to Tulsa, which is last in the Western Conference.
"It's come to that point of enough talking, let's put it into action," said veteran forward Noelle Quinn. Agler moved Quinn to the bench in hopes Stricklen would generate an offensive spark. It hasn't flared yet.
Stricklen is 5 for 17, scoring 14 points and Quinn is 3 for 10, with 11 points, in the two games in their new roles. Agler says the move is not just about jump-starting the offense immediately, but for the team's future.
Quinn has been working on penetrating more to get in scoring position. She shot 40 percent from three-point range for Washington last season.
Stricklen, the team's 2012 lottery pick, is still being groomed to be a full-time starter. She's slightly improved from her rookie season, averaging 9.2 points on 37.4 percent shooting overall and grasping Agler's defensive sets.
"It's an adjustment," Quinn said of the changes she's making in her style of play. "I'm still working on it. I'm my own worst critic and I feel like I'm not at my best. But anything that Brian suggests to me is only going to make me better. I'm just working through it."
Los Angeles is a tricky team to score against, however. The Sparks force 15.5 turnovers per game and opponents are shooting 40 percent against a team that features a frontcourt that includes 2008 MVP Candace Parker and 2012 rookie of the year Nneka Ogwumike.
The Sparks defeated the Storm 102-69 in the teams' season opener at Staples Center. Los Angeles had a six-game win streak snapped by Phoenix on Thursday.
Agler will have nine players available Saturday. He cut center Nakia Sanford on Thursday and won't sign a 10th player until Sunday.
"We're still a new group, if you look at our team," Quinn said. "But it's the middle of the season now and time to get the ball rolling."
• The Storm will honor Interagency Academy principal and educator Kaaren Andrews, GSBA President and CEO Louise Chernin, former governor Chris Gregoire and former University of Washington basketball player Melissa Erickson as its 2013 Inspiring Women. Erickson died in June at age 34 after a seven-year battle with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The ceremony will be at halftime of the team's game against Chicago on Aug. 15 at KeyArena.

Conventional wisdom and even some psychological studies tell us that violent videogames make people, especially kids, more violent. By rewarding mayhem and murder in a virtual world, these escapist simulations of reality make players more likely to behave with reckless disregard for human life in the actual world. However, what about the opposite scenario? If videogames instead reward kindness and other "prosocial" actions, can they also lead players to model more desirable behaviors?
Empathy is the tendency to feel the pain of others while they are suffering. When you hear that someone is hurt, an empathic reaction is for you to be concerned, not to laugh or be glad that the person is hurt. This is why empathy is a prosocial reaction. Empathy's evil twin is schadenfreude-- the antisocial response of glee that we feel when someone else is writhing in physical or emotional pain.

Global Risk Trends: US Election, RBA to Define Aussie's Next Move
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Chris Gore | November 5, 2012 10:36 AM EST
After a series of attempts to flush out offers above 104 US cents last week, the Aussie dollar succumbed to largely negative risk trends on Friday, closing the week an overall 0.35 percent in the red. On balance, better-than-expected data both locally and abroad has kept the local buoyant in recent weeks, with a series of positive data points from China remaining a primary catalyst. Last week's rebound in China's official manufacturing PMI was the latest in a growing list of feedback from the region suggesting the period of sub-par growth has turned the corner. Over the weekend we also saw official services PMI index rise to 55.5 in October from a previous 53.7, once again adding credence to the view China's economy is stabilising after a comparatively soft first half of 2012.
Nevertheless, a new week brings new challenges with a host of local and offshore directives to guide the way. While the U.S presidential election and a range of top-tier event risk from both sides of the Atlantic will continue to govern risk trends, the local week ahead will see the spotlight on the local interest rates, with finely balanced expectations the RBA will slice another 25bps off the official cash rate. As of Friday, futures pricing implied around a 55-60 percent chance of a 25bps cut, down from near 90 percent change the week before. Nevertheless, if financial bookies are any guide, the case for the RBA to sit on their hands has gained momentum, with a 'hold' decision at this week's Melbourne Cup meeting now odds on favourite. There of course remains a valid case to suggest the a rate cut is on the agenda, the most trivial of which is Stevens has displayed previous form, either raising or cutting rates at every Melbourne Cup day decision in his six year tenure. While its apparent the RBA have well and truly left the door ajar for another rate cut, the recent stronger than anticipated local inflation pulse and stronger growth indicators from China, makes the case for the board to hold rates steady on Tuesday more compelling. Perhaps we can glean an indication from a speech last week from Deputy RBA Governor Philip Lowe who painted a fairly positive picture of local conditions, noting "Australia has had the highest level of investment, relative to GDP, in over a century, and a further increase is expected." Dr Lowe acknowledged tentative signs that growth in China has stabilised in light of the recent pick-up in growth indicators, while noting central bank and government decisions in the Euro region have "lessened the probability of a very adverse outcome." While it's hardly the smoking gun to suggest the bank will hold a steady course, we may consider this a gentle upgrade from recent - more dovish - feedback from the bank.
Once again, the high Australian dollar is likely to rate a mention given the exchange rate remains at elevated levels since the board last met in October. Recent comment from RBA board members Jillian Broadbent and Heather Ridout have flagged the implications of a high exchange rate. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Broadbent highlighted the need for a weaker currency as the mining boom comes off the boil, noting "I would hope the Australian dollar gets a bit weaker going forward as the mining boom eases off," And then we might get a bit more of a boost from having the currency a bit lower, rather than the dampening effect of being higher." At the very least, this suggests the high currency remains at the forefront of the RBA's mind. Although it may add weight to a near-term rate cut, it hardly suggests the bank will embark on a series of cuts specifically targeting the high exchange rate. The board are also acutely aware of the limitations policy easing may have in effecting the exchange rate, given the board range of directives underpinning its strength as noted by Deputy Governor Lowe in last week's address.
In the frame this morning will be a private gauge of inflation by TD securities, retail sales and trade data, all of which timely releases ahead of tomorrows policy meeting. Usually ranking low on the scale of economic data, Wednesday's RBA FX reserves data may demand a little more attention, in light of recent data which shows the RBA are accumulating FX reserves in what appears to be a form of passive intervention. On Thursday all eyes will be on the October jobs data with early estimates show a net 500 new jobs created and the official unemployment rate edging up to 5.5 percent.

As a task force, we're going to work on that in the next 2 weeks. It's mostly a matter of collecting all the discussions from our mail archive and compacting them into readable form. I hope that will help to clear up at least the motivations, and maybe even the method of our proposal. -BenReceived on Thursday, 3 November 2005 23:22:19 GMT

Toshiba THNSNF 512GB review
512GB sata solid-state disk
Toshiba's THNSNF 512GB uses 19nm MLC NAND memory, which is a smaller memory process that promises fast speeds. MLC means that it uses multiple layers in order to cram in more data, and it uses Toshiba's own Toggle Mode process, which is quicker than synchronous and asynchronous memory.
As well as using 19nm NAND, this drive also has a huge 512GB capacity. That translates to a formatted capacity of 477GB, which should be enough for even the largest games or media collection.
Toshiba is keeping the rest of its specification close to its chest. It told us it uses an in-house chip, but isn't letting us know anything else.
Whatever it uses, its formidable specification certainly returned superb benchmark results. In our large file write and read benchmarks, the Toshiba scored 515MB/s and 425MB/s. It's the first drive to top the 500MB/s mark in the former test, and it's quicker than the OCZ Vertex 4 in both tests. The Vertex 4 scored 423MB/s and 327MB/s in the large-file write and read tests.
The Toshiba THNSNF was no less impressive in the small file tests. Its small-file write test result of 150MB/s is the best we've recorded and easily beats the 84MB/s of the OCZ Vertex 4, and its small-file read test result of 90MB/s also beats the 56MB/s score of the Vertex 4.
The Toshiba THNSNF is the fastest SSD we've ever tested
That makes it the quickest SSD we've ever tested, but it isn't as impressive elsewhere. Its one-year warranty is extremely poor. Virtually every other solid-state drive comes with three or five years of protection. Still, at least it adheres to the newer 7mm form factor, so it'll fit in the slimmest of laptops.
It's the fastest SSD we've ever seen, but it doesn't come cheap. This 512GB model will set you back £369, or 72p per gigabyte. That's a far cry from the £153, 59p per gigabyte OCZ Vertex 4, and although that drive is slower and has a lower capacity, it's still fast enough and large enough to sate all but the most demanding of power users.
The 256GB version costs £184, or 71p per gigabyte. These relatively high prices mean that drives such as the OCZ Vertex 4 still offer great value, and the Vertex 4 also includes a five-year warranty that easily outstrips the one-year deal included with the Toshiba. If you want the fastest SSD we've ever tested, you should invest in the Toshiba THNSNF, but there are better value drives.

Document - Colombia: Further information: Trade unionists face continued death threats
Further information on UA 66/13 Index: AMR 23/027/2013 Colombia Date: 14 June 2013
trade unionists face continued death threats
Colombian trade union leaders involved in labour negotiations continue to receive threats against their lives. On 13 June four of the union leaders received death threats by text message.
On 13 June trade union leaders Juan Aguas, Edgar Muñoz, Estivenson Avila and Rubén Morrón Guerrero received a death threat by text message. It read "The extermination of the union will not stop […] death to the trade unionists" (el extermino sindical no se detendra [sic] […] muerte a los sindicalistas). All four are members of the Colombian Union of Workers of the Mining, Petrochemical, Agro-Fuels and Energy Industries (Sindicato Nacional de la Industria Minera, Petroquímica, Agrocombustible y Energética, SINTRAMIENERGETICA). They are also part of a union delegation negotiating a new labour agreement with the mining company Drummond Ltd.
The attack comes in the wake of several recent death threats against members and leaders of SINTRAMIENERGETICA. On 28 May, on the eve of trade union negotiations, gunmen fired shots at a taxi in which Rubén Morrón Guerrero was travelling, in the city of Barranquilla, department of Atlántico. In the past, members of SINTRAMIENERGETICA have been killed and threatened in the context of such negotiations with companies.
Please write immediately in Spanish or your own language:
Expressing concern for the safety of Juan Aguas, Edgar Muñoz, Estivenson Avila and Rubén Morrón Guerrero, and other members of SINTRAMIENERGETICA;
Demanding that the authorities provide protection for Juan Aguas, Edgar Muñoz, Estivenson Avila and Rubén Morrón Guerrero, in accordance with their wishes;
Urging the authorities to conduct a full and impartial investigation into the death threat and previous attacks and threats, and to make the results public and bring those responsible to justice;
Urging them to take immediate action to dismantle paramilitary groups and break their links with the security forces, in line with repeated UN recommendations.

trade unionists face continued death threats
ADditional Information
During Colombia's long-running armed conflict between left-wing guerrillas and the armed forces, which at times operate in collusion with paramilitaries, members of human rights organizations, trade unions and other social organizations have often been threatened, subjected to enforced disappearance or killed. Colombia's paramilitary groups supposedly demobilized in a government-sponsored process that began in 2003, but it is clear from the threats against human rights organizations and trade unions that they are still operating.
Colombia has one of the highest rates of trade unionist killings in the world. Trade unionists face repeated death threats or are killed during labour disputes and during campaigns for improvement of their pay and working conditions. They have been repeatedly threatened and many have been killed or subjected to enforced disappearance by paramilitaries either acting alone or in collusion with the security forces. In addition, the security forces and paramilitaries often accuse trade unionists of being guerrilla sympathizers or auxiliaries. Guerrilla forces have also been responsible for killing and threatening those they accuse of collaborating with their enemies.
For many years members of SINTRAMIENERGETICA have been killed and have received death threats by paramilitaries while the union has been seeking the improvement of working conditions. Over recent months members of SINTRAMIENERGETICA have been the target of paramilitary death threats in the context of labour disputes.
Name: Juan Aguas, Edgar Muñoz, Estivenson Avila and Rubén Morrón Guerrero

BJ Clinton defends American control of Internet domain name system
TEMPE, Ariz. — Former President Bill Clinton presided over a star-studded panel Friday evening, voicing his preference that the United States maintain control of the Internet's domain name system, which will soon be ceded to an international body.
Clinton appeared on stage for a Clinton Global Initiative event with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, among others, to discuss how social change could come about through online engagement.
"Whatever you think our country has done wrong, the United States has been by far the country most committed to keeping the Internet free and open and uninterrupted," Clinton said at Arizona State University.
The former president expressed concern over the United States' recent announcement that the Internet domain system, currently controlled an agency of the Department of Commerce, will soon be ceded to an international agency that will be assembled after negotiations.
Added Clinton, "We've kept the Internet free and open, and that's a great tribute to the United States."

Congressman McKeon Congratulates Ventura County Board of Supervisors on improving public safety and protecting animal welfare.
Washington, DC – Today Congressman McKeon offered his congratulations to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors for their decision to prioritize public safety and animal welfare in our Southern California communities. The 4-1 decision denied a local resident the necessary permit to construct facilities and enclosures intended for the training and housing of white tigers for the entertainment industry. The Board of Supervisors vote upheld an earlier Planning Commission ruling from March of this year.
"I was very pleased to hear of the Board of Supervisor's decision to protect the safety and wellbeing of Deer Creek Canyon residents, and those of the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains. This ruling sets a valuable precedent by demonstrating that active community engagement and a sound municipal review process can result in an optimal outcome for everyone."
"Having authored numerous pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives on wildlife safety, I have consistently fought to eliminate preventable injuries and deaths that result from the attempted domestication and personal possession of large, wild cats. Not only do these majestic creatures present a severe safety risk, they also overtax unprepared municipal authorities. Local law enforcement lacks the crucial training and resources to handle big cats, and may be left legally and financially responsible for gross negligence in protecting citizens."
"When local equities and concerned citizens take up the banner of responsible animal ownership, I am confident that our neighborhoods will be safer, and our wild animal facilities will be better suited to meet the needs of these majestic creatures."

De Villiers wary of backlash
ESPN Staff
September 7, 2012
Jean de Villiers is aiming to lead South Africa to a second victory in the Rugby Championship and take his unbeaten run as Springbok captain to six matches © PA Photos
South Africa captain Jean de Villiers expects no less a challenge from Australia in Perth on Saturday despite Robbie Deans' team having already slipped to two losses in the Rugby Championship.
The Wallabies lost home and away to world champions New Zealand. They lost the first 19-27 in Sydney, before the All Blacks ran riot to win 22-0 in Auckland a week later. Following the match there were calls for Deans to be sacked as Australia coach. It represents a rapid fall from grace for Deans whose young side was praised for finishing third at the World Cup just under a year ago and tipped to be one of the favourites for the 2015 World Cup. Even so De Villiers doesn't believe that Australia's results so far are indicative of their ability.
"They were up against a quality side in New Zealand, the number one ranked team in the world, the World Cup winners, all of that," De Villiers said. "(Australia) are a very skilled team. I think, as a backline player playing against them is difficult. They've got a lot skill running wise in attack and in defence. They're always solid."
South Africa have made a mixed start to the tournament. After they won 27-6 against Argentina in the South American side's tournament debut, they were unable to repeat the result a week later and were held to a 16-16 draw. Duane Vermeulen is set to make his debut for the Springboks as part of an inexperienced group of forwards and De Villiers believes it will give him the chance to press his claims for a regular place in the starting team.
"I read something yesterday where our pack, the starting eight, only has 112 caps. Last year John Smit had 111 and Victor Matfield had 110," he said. "It makes a big difference in experience within the squad, but I think the guys that have come in have done really well and they've taken their opportunities. Once you've got a new team and once you're building as a team it's an opportunity to put up your hand and stake your claim for a position in the team and stay there for a long time. I think the guys have done that and hopefully we can show some more maturity tomorrow."

Infant Left in Woods Saved by Dog
BIRMINGHAM, U.K. (WKRC) -- Roger Wilday, 68, was walking his dog, Jade, a German Shepherd, at a park in Britain when she disappeared into the woods.
After numerous failed attempts to call her back, Wilday went to the woods and found out why his dog would not return.
She had found something she intended to protect.
According to the Birmingham Mail, Jade would not move away from a carrier bag laying in the brush. Wilday saw the bag move and realized there was an infant inside.
After calling police, the six-pound baby girl was taken to the hospital and treated by staff, where she has been monitored around the clock by pediatricians.
The staff has named her "Jade" in honor of the German Shepherd which may have very well saved her life.
Walday and his wife say their Shepherd has always loved children -- they have five grandchildren, and this is the first time the dog has ever found anything.
They are waiting for the day they are cleared to reunite with baby Jade at the hospital to see her again.

Library closed Dec. 24 and 25
All locations of The Seattle Public Library and the book drops at the Central Library will be closed on Christmas Eve, Wednesday, Dec. 24 and Christmas Day Thursday, Dec. 25.
Service interruption in the Library's Online Catalog - Jan. 1
Between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 1, the Library will be upgrading its electrical power system. During the upgrade, you will be able to search the catalog, but won't be able to log in, place holds, renew items or use other catalog features. The former Library catalog (Horizon Information Portal) will not be available at all. SPL Mobile, access to e-books, free music downloads and many databases and applications also will be unavailable.
In 2012, Seattle voters improved access to critical educational and literacy resources for every resident by passing a seven-year, $123 million Library levy.
The levy is helping restore core services drastically cut during the prolonged recession. It also protects a bold vision that Seattle voters approved in 1998 called "Libraries for All," which resulted in the world-renowned Central Library and new and renovated branch libraries across the city.
The levy provides an average of $17 million annually to stabilize funding, support the Library's Strategic Plan and Service Priorities and address four areas identified by the community:
In January 2013, the Library added Sunday hours to the 15 branches that had been operating only five days a week, which meant that for the first time in over 100 years, all Library locations were open on Sundays.
In the first half of 2013, the Library held celebrations at each of the 15 branches with new Sunday hours. In the second half of 2013 and in early 2014, City Librarian Marcellus Turner held "Community Conversations" at the 12 locations that already were open on Sundays.
Key accomplishments in 2013 included:

Novo Nordisk Intends To Appeal Adverse Ruling In Prandin® (repaglinide) Patent Case
PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Novo Nordisk announced that Judge Avern Cohn of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan issued an adverse ruling in a patent litigation case regarding Novo Nordisk's US Patent No. 6,677,358. The district court ruled that the patent, which covers the combination use of repaglinide and metformin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, is invalid and unenforceable. Novo Nordisk markets repaglinide under the trade name Prandin® and a fixed dose repaglinide/metformin tablet under the trade name PrandiMet®. The district court ruling has the potential to facilitate launch of a generic repaglinide. At present, it is unclear whether or when a generic version of Prandin® or PrandiMet® will be available in the U.S. market. Novo Nordisk intends to appeal this ruling and is evaluating its best options for doing so.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020404/NVOLOGO )
"We are disappointed with today's ruling. We believe that it is contrary to the evidence and we intend to appeal the ruling," says Jesper Brandgaard, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Novo Nordisk.
For the first nine months of 2010, US sales of Prandin® and PrandiMet® amounted to USD 134 million.Novo Nordisk is a global healthcare company with 87 years of innovation and leadership in diabetes care. The company also has leading positions within haemophilia care, growth hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy. Headquartered in Denmark, Novo Nordisk employs approximately 30,100 employees in 76 countries, and markets its products in 179 countries. Novo Nordisk's B shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen (Novo-B). Its ADRs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NVO). For more information, visit novonordisk.com . SOURCE Novo Nordisk

Future Rankings: Playoff fill-ins
A look at high-upside, widely available replacements for sidelined starters
The fantasy football playoffs kicked off with an abundance of snow, but despite the wintry conditions blanketing several stadiums, more than 100 touchdowns were scored in Week 14, leading to excitement and drama in the first week of the fantasy postseason.
Unfortunately, notable injuries accompanied the action, led by a season-ending knee injury for Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and a mid-foot sprain for all-everything running back Adrian Peterson, putting the Vikings' lead back very much in doubt to play in Week 15.
Between injuries and struggles by top performers, there are fantasy owners scratching their heads over how to prepare for Week 15, the second week of the playoffs in many leagues.
Those who own Peterson, Gronkowski and other injured stars are now searching for alternatives to maximize their lineup, and not all have built-in replacements.
Though the waiver wire isn't jam-packed with fill-in commodities, there's a section of players worth investing in this week if you're in need of a last-minute starter.
All of these players, owned in less than 20 percent of leagues, boast better-than-you-might-expect TPS projections, which are courtesy of numberFire.

The HEIL PR 30 microphone steps up the professional audio game by adding a hum bucking coil in addition to the shock-mounted large diaphragm to virtually run noise-free in most any situation. When working in close proximity to PC monitors in the studio, or near neon lights, or other electrical sources on stage, the PR 30 is the microphone to use for quiet, flawless operation on drums, guitar cabinets and vocals.
The PR 30 is often compared to high priced ribbon microphones for its wide frequency response and immaculate sound quality. The difference is the PR 30 is able to withstand sound pressure levels that would decimate ribbon microphones.
The PR 30 is perfect as a guitar and amplifier cabinet microphone, as well as for drums, but it is also right at home as a vocal microphone, thanks to its internal passive filtering and uniquely designed screen, which virtually eliminates popping and sibilance during up-close vocals. The versatility and quality built into the PR 30 make it the choice of some of the top professional musicians, producers, and broadcasters in today's world.
With the PR 30 you get the PR 30, along with an adjustable cast metal mic holder in a foam-fitted box.
Heil Sound, Ltd. warrants all microphones to the original purchaser for a period of three years (parts) and ninety days (labor) from the date of purchase.

About.com (Review) - "It's rare when a couple weeks' worth of hands-on time completely converts me. But the Heil PR-30 is different: I knew the first time I heard it I was dealing with something special."

Front End Audio (Review) - "It has a very detailed mid and upper-mid response, where a lot of dynamics tend to get a little bit crispy up there.."
More from Front End Audio
Kurt Ballou (Producer) - "I don't use Heil's exclusively, but they do get used regularly, particularly the PR30's. When I'm using them, I typically use PR30's for snare, toms, electric guitar, and bass guitar, PR40's for bass drum, bass guitar, and male vocals, PR20's for hand head vocals or snare drum, and the Handi-Mic for harmonica or for mic-ing up headphones for the "lo-fi" effect. I'm so glad Heil has put out this new line of mics. With the fast-paced aggressive music I record, it's great to have a microphone which combines the urgency of a dynamic, with the speed, clarity, and detail of a condensor. The PR30, in particular, has made my year!"
More from Kurt Ballou
Santiago Dobles from Aghora (Artist) - "Heil Pr 30 is hands down the Best Guitar & Tom Mic out there. Heil Mics capture what your tone really sounds like and what you really want to hear!"
More from Santiago Dobles from Aghora
Tape Op (Review) - "I found these mics ideal not only for voiceovers, but also for loud rock vocals, kick drums, toms, guitar, and bass cabinets."
More from Tape Op
From standard mic stand duty, to sophisticated shock mounted articulating boom choirs, the HB-1, PL2T, and SB-2 Booms all accept standard 5/8" -27 threaded microphone hardware and offer unlimited positioning.
The CB-1 PTT is a heavy, base stand with a built-in push-to-talk (PTT) button & remote cable. Standard 5/8" - 27 threading ensures flawless use with industry standards mics.
Heil shock mounts provide ultimate shock protection for the PR 20, PR 22 and similar body sizes (SM-1), and for the PR 30, PR 40 and similar body sizes (PRSM).
Whether you sing, play an instrument, or just want to support the efforts of those who do, you'll look cool wearing a T-shirt baring the logo of the world's finest microphones.
Want to learn how to really use microphones…from the man who "wrote the book" on modern microphones? Then you will want to read Bob's Practical Guide to choosing microphones today.
Heil offers professional headphones for recording and for monitoring live broadcasts and web-casts. Comfort and great sound, is what you can expect from the Pro Set 3 headphones.
