A benefit is planned from 2 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, at St. Johnsburg Fire Co., 7165 Ward Road, North Tonawanda, for Dawn Daigler.
Daigler had an accident back in May, 2012, which left her with a long term spinal cord injury. She continues to fight daily to regain strength. Due to her injuries she is experiencing financial hardship. She needs around the clock care and medical insurance has run out making it impossible to attain the therapy she needs. She is currently being moved to a long term care facility at ECMC. All proceeds from the benefit will go towards her long term medical care expenses.
Daigler, 37, has touched many lives in the community through her generosity, compassion and friendship and was a dedicated hard working individual. She enjoyed line dancing and loves listening to country music and going to live concerts. Daigler is a resident in the town of Wheatfield who graduated in 1993 from Niagara Wheatfield High School, attended Niagara County Community College, and is a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. She may not walk again but clings to the hope for small movement to her extremities.
Admission is $5 at the door and kids 5 and under are free. There will be a clown that will be doing face painting. Krolick's Chicken BBQ dinners on sale for $9 starting at 4 p.m. until they are gone, so order your tickets ahead. Chicken dinner includes a half chicken, salt potatoes and chef salad with a roll and butter. Pizza, baked goods, coffee and soda will also be available for purchase along with $2 draft beer. The event will include a basket auction with more than 200 baskets donated by various businesses and friends, and a silent auction with high-end items valued over $100.
There will be two live bands for entertainment featuring Common Ground and Acoustic Mile. Special guest Cate Laughlan from Season 14 of The Biggest Loser will be joining us to celebrate and support Daigler's journey. She will be signing autographs and will be available for health and fitness questions. There will be a 50/50 split and for a $1 donation, a chance to win a 46" Sanyo LCD TV. This event is being sponsored by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, along with friends and family of Daigler. If you are interested in pre-sale tickets or making a basket or baked good, please call Pam Boudreau, Benefit Chairman at 946-8760 or email Pam at: email@example.com.
Check donations may be made to Dawn Daigler Benefit, contact Pam for more information where to send. Please write "Dawn Daigler" on the memo line. The event has a Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/foranewdawn.

"Good and easy. I followed the recipe and it actually made 10 enchiladas using 8" tortillas. Luckilly I had extra cheese & salsa verde. I soak my torts in hot oil for a few seconds rather than microwave them, added a pinch of cumin to the chicken mix and plated with cilantro leaves and jalapenos on the side."
"I was looking for a beef stew recipe close to my Mom's. She didnt write her's down. This is the one! We leave out the potatoes in the pot and serve over mashed potatoes instead. I added a cup and a half of frozen pees 10 minutes before the end."
"Nothing at all wrong with this recipe. My family enjoyed it. I didn't need a knife to separate the pieces after cooking. My 4.9 pound chicken was done when I checked it with a thermometer (I dont trust the pop-ups) after 6 hours. I actually think it got done after about 5 hours. I have a feeling the spice mix would work good on a smoked or grilled..."
"Very simple to make. Thank you!Prepared exactly as posted. One pound made 4 thin pattys. 1/2 inch pattys would not have been very big around. Next time I'll either get 1.5 pounds or make only 3 pattys. Also, I like 'em HOT so I'll probably use 4-5 chipotles."

NAGPUR: City police is trying to crack the armed robbery case which left the men in khaki a baffled lot.
Despite the presence of 17 canines, miscreants had a free run at the residence of Shakuntala Salunkhe behind Madhav Nagari in the wee hours of Monday. The armed robbers decamped with 11 tola gold and Rs 45,000 in cash.
Apart from the MIDC police who registered the offence, it is learnt that the crime branch too has begun an investigation. City police chief Ankush Dhanvijay inspected the residence of Shakuntala and her grand daughter Priya Bhonsle.
Two police personnel were deployed at Shakuntala's residence which is at a secluded place on a huge field with no other houses in the vicinity of about half a kilometre. "The canines seem to be under some kind of sedation. They are moving around but look drained of energy," said Shakuntala.
Senior inspector Atul Navghire of MIDC police station has started gathering information about the local goons and is working on getting different inputs. The police, however, did not rule out questioning the family members and others close to the victims.

Mike HornickTom Furphy, left, chief executive officer of Consumer Equity Partners and Kevin Coupe, founder of MorningNewsBeat.com, led a Fresh Summit 2012 workshop on "How to Survive the e-Revolution" Oct. 26 in Anaheim, Calif.ANAHEIM, Calif. — Amazon Fresh hasn't set the world on fire since its launch in 2007. Its home grocery delivery, run on a fleet of 15 to 20 trucks, is popular in the Seattle area. But it hasn't spread to new markets.
That could change soon, according to Tom Furphy, chief executive officer of Consumer Equity Partners. He also expects Wal-Mart eventually will offer shoppers pickup and delivery.
Furphy is a former vice president of consumables at Amazon Fresh, a job he left three years ago. He and Kevin Coupe, founder of MorningNewsBeat.com, explored the implications for brick-and-mortar retailers in a Fresh Summit 2012 workshop on "How to Survive the e-Revolution."
"We hear in the marketplace that they are laying out expansion plans to trading partners," Furphy said of Amazon Fresh. "Particularly the big national brands, because they're interested. 'This is a great little experiment (the brands say), but I need to see scale.' So Amazon will say, 'Here's the next couple of cities on the West Coast.'"
A move by Amazon Fresh into new markets, however few, would signal its confidence in solving the problem of scale.
"They feel like they've either hit the metrics or have a good path to it," Furphy said.
Minimum or average order size and optimal truck use, pricing and selection are the elements in a tricky profitability equation for delivery. Some companies that could do it, might not want to.
"There may be an opportunity (for Sysco) to build a direct consumer business," Furphy told an attendee in response to a question about that possibility. "It's probably the same margin for a lot more work. If I were Sysco, I'm not sure why I would do it. But I think you're going to see this local delivery battleground heat up."
"Wal-Mart has come out and said they will build a fulfillment center network like Amazon's," Furphy said. "They are going to have some hybrid of direct consumer delivery along with click-and-collect store pickup. They're doing some tests now and they will have local delivery as well."
Consumers are beginning to demand that kind of convenience, he said, which makes adding it a competitive imperative for others.
Another side of the e-revolution is virtual stores that allow passengers to order groceries from screens or smartphone apps and code scanners. Tesco and Peapod have had some success with these in subway and rail stations, Coupe said: Tesco in Seoul, South Korea, and Peapod in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Connecticut's Fairfield County.

Quoted from Caz B The first thing I do every morning when I get up is open all my blinds to let in as much sunlight as possible.
Quoted from Ribbit Since I've been on the GTD I've tanned better. I don't wear sunscreen at all, so I know there's been a difference. Instead of turning bright red, now I just get a little darker. Or if it does turn red it's only that way for a day and then it turns tan. In the past I would get a terrible burn, then it would peel off and I'd be white again. Maybe my P-53 genes are expressing themselves better thanks to the Warrior diet.

To those of you who have had success with Charlie's, can you tell me if you use Borax or TSP or even STPP to make it more effective with hard water? Their recommendation (and a lot of consensus over on the laundry board) is that if you have hard water (mine is on the med-hard side) you may need TSP or STPP (phosphates) to make it work. I'm finding that adding Borax doesn't improve it's cleaning capabilities, and I don't think that TSP and STPP are all that eco-friendly.
Any thoughts on your own experience you can share? I want to love CS, but I'm not there yet. Thanks,

Boris Pledges, Ken Dodges
Guido can't see how Ken is going to get through a third week of reputation-ruining speculation that he dodged paying some £50,000 in income tax, unless he publishes his full tax return. If he doesn't people will assume that he has something to hide. Even his usually vocal partisan supporters are ignoring the tax advoidance issue. Boris is on the attack in the Telegraph this morning. In reference to non-doms, there is no prize for guessing who he's talking about here:
"At least they are frank about what they are doing. They are not hypocrites, like some people, ahem, I could mention – no names, no pack drill – who foamingly denounce tax avoidance, and call for bankers to be hung, and who then turn out to have elaborate schemes to avoid paying the full whack of income tax on their earnings."
Ken has gone almost as mute as a newt, bogged down and dodging tax avoidance questions, whereas Boris has spent the weekend promoting his election pledges. On the weekend Nick Cohen in the Observer called for Ken to publish his tax return, rounding on him and questioning why it has taken tax issues for the left to see the light about Ken's hypocrisy, rather than his penchant for tolerating the company of homosexual-hating clerics and tin pot Latin-American dictators. In some of today's less surprising news, Ken has been given yet another resounding "fiction" verdict by Channel Four's Factcheck, who shred his empty promise to reintroduce a London Educational Maintenance Allowance, despite it being ultra vires for a Mayor. Ken: the candidate with limited powers and a limited company…

New shades went up on our screen porch this weekend, so I don't have to sit in the sun in the mornings while I write my column. The sun rises in my eyes and doesn't disappear until about the time I have to go to work. Three cups of coffee, a few words on the computer, morning "hastas" and it's time to get to work in time for lunch.
My days can be grueling, especially two days a month when I have to cover the Board of Supervisors until I learned I can watch them at home on the sofa with some chips and a cool drink. If I could call-in my work, which some people think I do, I would have it made.
There has been some talk among Supervisors about having Skype or something similar in place for when a Supervisor can't make the meeting. I suppose there will be a time when the entire meeting will take place on Skype. Make sense to me. I think you might get a little more honesty as well. Supervisors and Planning Commissions could argue, not just discuss, issues about a case because they are not looking at one another directly face to face.
Technologically it would be quite easy to accomplish. Those who had Skype on their computers, could participate, others would have to come to the meeting room where the Supervisors would be shown on the screens already in place. Speakers could also use Skype from their office or home.
No one would have to go anywhere, just watch the meeting on TV or Skype. Sitting on the sofa the viewer could switch back and forth from Dancing with the Stars, the Soccer World Cup and then the Sups meeting. They would probably wait for the case in which they were interested.
Here's another level that would cost a fortune: distribute iPads to anyone who is interested in how decisions are made in their interest by County government. Of course, these iPads could only receive information from the County.
Maybe iPads would not be as costly as you might think. Chesterfield County schools just made a deal to distribute over 13,000 iPad-type computers to middle school students and next year over 18,000 plus iPad-type computers to high school students.
Could citizens interested in all Board and Planning Commission meetings top over 31,000? If schools could afford over 31,000 iPad type computers, why couldn't the county administration; and I'll bet there won't be but about 12,000 to 15,000 people who would be interested in getting an iPad if it only carried county information?
Sounds like a lot of people, but if you attend a public meeting at the public meeting room at the County complex you will not find very many County citizens interested in any particular case. Maybe the number of iPads that would have to be distributed would be less than estimated above.
The next step would be to make the iPads interactive. When any particular zoning case or public meeting is in the session, people at home could vote yeah or nay on the issue by just touching a button. Of course after a while the property tax would go to $0 cents per $100 of your home's value. But on the other hand County residents could see that their tax dollars are important.
Many road projects would halt, libraries would close, police would be nil, fire and EMS would not be available, parks would be unkempt and schools may even close or be immensely overcrowded. But cash proffers for builders and developers would go through the roof and fees for everything would skyrocket. You think registering your car is expensive now at $40, think of what the fee would go to without property taxes.
The home vote sounds very democratic, but it wouldn't work. Those who participate in the project would be a small percentage of the population, and you have heard before the tyranny of the minority would go to exponential proportions.
Skype in place of a Supervisor is a silly idea, but not as preposterous as the iPad in your homes idea. I think there has to be a sensible way to draw County residents to a public meeting. How about paying them? That's as bad as the Skype idea.
How about commercials on cable during high audience viewing?
"Tune in the channel 27 on Wednesday for a rezoning case that is sure to be contention. Watch attorney what's his name try and con the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors into five-thousand houses on 20 acres. Mr. Holland could lose his temper while Mr. Warren falls asleep. You know it will be exciting. Also this week don't miss the Virginia State Choir sing 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' and Boy Scout Troop 2987 demonstrate knife throwing and archery before getting their Eagle. This Supervisors' meeting is something you don't want to miss. Three o'clock and six o'clock on Channel 27, or watch it live at the Public Meeting at the County Complex."

This is the first track from N.O.R.E.'s new record, "Student of the Game," and I don't really know how to explain it or if it even needs explaining. It's called "Kenny Smith Speaks" and it is just 15 seconds of Kenny Smith talking tough. That's it. Pretty straightforward, really.
But if you were ever wondering what it would be like to have Kenny Smith do a tough talking intro to a rap record by an over-the-hill rapper, this is the answer. It's weird.

I've seen a few posts on here from people who have used this type of siding but most of the posts are a few months old and I was wondering if anyone has any recent pictures or info. We plan on using this siding on the house that we recently started building in mid-Missouri.
I've looked at many FC 'fake shakes' and I prefer Nichiha's over the others but I'm having a difficult time getting pricing info. I have spoken to Nichiha and was given one quote for $17.50 per board from a lumber company in St. Louis. I'm waiting for pricing from my local lumber yard but they have never heard of the product so it's taking a long time for them to get their info. For those that have used this product are you still happy with your choice? Below is a link to our house plans. Thank you!

I realize that Alstroemerias are distinct from lilies but as there is no specific forum I thought I'd take advantage of the common misconception...
I know Alstroemerias are fairly hardy and can certainly be grown in Zones 7 or 8, my question is how "warm hardy" are they? I have heard that if the soil temperature rises above 72F they will not flower. Is there anyone in the far south or Hawaii who grows these successfully? |

- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 11, 12 at 16:41
They are recommended for hardiness zones as high as 11 or AHS heat zones 8-10 (upto 90-150 days of temps above 86F). In warmer climates, these are considered "cool season" plants and flower best when temps are moderate. Since they are such a popular cut flower to the florist trade, there are a lot of greenhouses that specialize in them and they recommend keeping temperatures no higher than 75F to minimize blind shoots. |

A thin little dog in great despair showed up earlier this week at the home of a longtime rescuer.
He had obviously been abandoned — a terribly cruel fate for any unwanted animal, and one which happens way too often.
When the rescuer got near the poor dog to pick him up and get him to a veterinarian, prior to taking him in as a foster pet, she realized he had "the worst odor you can imagine. Then I saw the reason. His collar was imbedded in his neck," she told me in this very sad phone call.
"He was obviously in great pain," she said.
Because the rescuer had recently had surgery and her incision wasn't completely healed, she feared picking up the little dog.
"I felt I couldn't risk it. I didn't know what all he had going on and whether he might even be scared enough to bite me. Normally this would not have even entered my mind but after my recent surgery and giving it some thought, something told me not to risk it," she said.
Instead, she called Animal Control at 479-2122 and asked that an officer come and get the little dog.
"The officer, Roy Womack, soon arrived at our home and the minute he looked at the dog he said he would immediately take him to a veterinarian. I gave him one of our crates and he put the dog in it to carry him to at vet. I was so relieved to know the pitiful little dog would not be suffering any longer," she said, following the ordeal.
"We all need to spread the word and plead with pet owners who are moving and can no longer keep a pet or [are] having other problems in their lives, not to abandon an innocent pet."
The end result of this is usually that the pet suffers either from being hit by a vehicle and terribly injured or killed, or from starvation or from getting attacked by other animals.
If you cannot keep a pet, please call Animal Control at the municipal Cleveland Animal Shelter on Hill St. at 479-2122. You can either take the pet to the shelter on weekdays, 11 a.m. to 5 pm., or on Saturdays, 10 a.m. to noon, or ask for an animal control officer to come and get the pet. Also, prior to a call for help to the shelter, try calling respected rescuers or breed-specific rescuers for help," she urged.
"Make sure the rescuers will get the pet veterinary care and screen all potential adopters," she said.
She also pleaded with pet owners to keep pets indoors, but if that is not possible to make sure they have "a nice, warm doghouse with straw inside, set up off the ground on top of two bricks on each corner.
"They need plentiful water in containers that are set about two inches dug out below ground level to keep water from freezing quickly, as it does in this winter weather.
"Then ask neighbors or family members to check the water often to make sure it hasn't frozen if you are gone from home. Keeping quality pet food fresh for them is also vital. We hear too many stories about poor dogs kept on a chain without attention and minus fresh water, a warm doghouse and good, nourishing food provided daily," she added.
"And finally, before you adopt a cute kitten or puppy or a charming adult dog or cat, please think ahead. What if you have to move? What if you are too busy to care for the pet? What if your children who desperately wanted a pet soon grow disinterested in it? Will you keep be willing to keep this pet in your home with you where all pets should be kept as family members? Will you be able to afford veterinary care at the rate of about $600 a year in order to provide needed exams, vaccinations, heartworm preventives, grooming and unexpected physical ailments?
"This are all things that must be considered before adopted an innocent pet," emphasized the dedicated rescuer.
Paws up this week to: Drs. Brian and Kenneth Beard; Peggy Pesterfield; Terry Rogers; Terry and Olive Templin; Diane Mayfield; and all who rescued a pet with the assurance of providing a wonderful, long life in a forever home.
To reach the Cleveland Municipal Animal Shelter, 360 Hill St., call 479-2122. Call me with your pet and wildlife stories, or write to P.O. Box 4864, Cleveland TN 37320.

Perhaps this should be posted within our libraries? Maybe even make some bookplates?
I definitely taunt my books, especially my audiobooks...I have full blown arguments with some of my audio books in the car. I'll hit pause and yell back a rebuttal. I'm sure I look completely bonkers doing it, too. At least I don't do THAT walking around listening on my iPod, though sometimes I'm sure I bust out laughing for what seems like no apparent reason until someone sees the earbuds in my ears.
But why does it say draw a moustache on this book?
...in fact we're discussing to print'em and offer them our freshers as an incentive for library use. What about the copyrights?
PS. Why draw a moustache on books? :)
PSS. Seriously, does anyone know about copyrights in this special case or in general @LISNews? I'm new here and have completely no clue...
I'd like these as stickers to distribute. Fun, huh?
The source of this image would be nice...

Please note: if you are a dinosaur and read TIME magazine in the printed form, that is not the US cover of record. That issue is only available Internationally!
I was in a group project in 7th grade Technology (it was "Shop" but they can't call it that anymore) class where we had to make a safety video for using the dangerous drills and other tools in the workshop. I was in a group with 5 slackers and we got almost nothing accomplished. It was a nightmare and I turned into a hounding nag a quarter of the way through like, "Guys, we have to keep working!" and then 3/4 way through the project our teacher informed us that we would be grading each other. The horror! I still could not give anyone in the group less than a B! I would have failed miserably at a children's reality show.
Was anyone else nervous the plate glass windows would somehow be involved in this accident? Whew.
I agree with you Kelly, I fear Brooklyn 99 strong lead is going to hurt it as we make our way around the track or whatever racing metaphor I'm trying to work out here. Not that I don't love being fully entertained the entire time I watch it, I just hope it has the stamina to cross the finish line (nailed it!)
Yes, similar to the episode of the office where Kevin kept crying at Pam's boobs. Why does anyone think jokes about breastmilk are funny?
They are perfect for each other.
Do not pay attention the the estimated weight of your unborn baby. There is no way to accurately tell how much a baby weighs in utero. And often- even if the the doc has a clue as to how big your pup will be- they low-ball it so as not to scare the pants off of the expecting mom. Trust me, I got some really rando weights before my kid came out (at 8lbs, 8oz).
Maybe there are some "Dome is where the heart is" ones on sale?
The danger associated with allowing a sleeping toddler driving a toy car does not enrage me as much as the fact that this was recorded vertically. Please turn the camera, parents.
Oh, "a portion of proceeds will benefit a charity organized to bring awareness to cyber bullying." So perfect. So so perfect.
Yes, it definitely dawned on me last night that he is really not a good guy. All the past cheating and lying about his identity and the basically assault of Bobbie Barrett (remember when he shoved his hand up her skirt?) didn't really sink in until this episode. Maybe because it was coupled with Peggy's obvious disapproval of how he treated Ted? So it just got called out more. I don't know. I'm going to have trouble rooting for him going forward.
Agree. Agree. Agree. Also, I think a little bit of my confusion about this is that it's being marketed to children and why would a child care if her boobs are bigger? Were children really saying, "I could love this movie, but only if the main character had a bigger rack."?? I don't understand where the need for the makeover came from, I guess.
Yes! Why is there never enough Donna on that show??
Gabe, it seems like you could easily get in touch with "his people" and ask him if he wants to get coffee and talk all on your own. "Be the change you wish to see in the world." – Johnny Knoxville
I'd really love to know the original source of that quote… I imagine Katie Couric having a throw pillow with "'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.' – Anonymous" embroidered on it. It would look nice propped up on the other chair that she sits across from on the Katie show. Then when guests arrive, they could just hold it on their laps for the whole interview.
Is there a Public Group Stunt that involves giving out fistfuls of $100 bills? Because I would be ok with my routine being disrupted for something like that.
Let me tell you something, it's every coach's dream to experience the highest level of idiocy that his team can muster and gentlemen, collectively us coaches, we are living a dream.
I was kind of bummed that they went the "fake suicide" route with Jack's character… I don't know. I liked most of the episode, but when that was introduced, I got really disappointed. Leading someone to believe you are going to commit suicide is just not funny a funny concept. No matter if it's Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin and it's my favorite show in the world.
Agreed! No one was smoking in the mall??? How is this supposed to be the 80s? I hope they get it together for future episodes.
Are you recapping this every week??!?!!?!? (Please say yes!)
The Feud is a particularly good place for game show blunders because of the demanded quick response. Every single episode nets at least one gem, I'm sure of it.
I saw Cortney on Conan last night. She did not mention this pee story, but I might not have noticed because I was really distracted by her face… the fillers or whatever she's injected in there… yikes. She looks nothing like the Monica Gellar of 1995.
It was on dateline the other night! I watched it (and the whole time I was imagining Gabe writing something about it). It was absolutely perfect. When he finished, "…extra came out," the interviewer then clarified and said, "You pooped your pants?" And he repeated, "I pooped my pants." So it was double verified.

Value Bohr`s radius
On the basis of Rutherford's theories, Bohr published his model of atomic structure in 1913, introducing the theory of electrons traveling in orbits around the atom's nucleus, the chemical properties of the element being largely determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits. Bohr also introduced the idea that an electron could drop from a higher-energy orbit to a lower one, emitting a photon (light quantum) of discrete energy. This became a basis for quantum theory.
Niels Henrik David Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1885. Bohr studied as an undergraduate, graduate and, under Christian Christiansen, as a doctoral student at Copenhagen University, receiving his doctorate in 1911. As a post-doctoral student, Bohr first conducted experiments under J. J. Thomson at Trinity College, Cambridge. He then went on to study under Ernest Rutherford at the University of Manchester in England. In 1916, Niels Bohr became a professor at the University of Copenhagen, and director of the newly constructed "Institute of Theoretical Physics" in 1920. In 1922, Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. In 1941, during the German occupation of Denmark in World War II, Bohr was visited by Heisenberg in Copenhagen . In 1943, shortly before he was to be arrested by the German police, Bohr escaped to Sweden, and then traveled to London. He worked at the top-secret Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico, U.S., on the Manhattan Project. After the war Bohr returned to Copenhagen, advocating the peaceful use of nuclear energy. He died in Copenhagen in 1962.
We shall use the next formula to calculate the value of electron radius that travel in first orbit around the nucleus of Bohr`s hydrogen atom:

Bob Dudley, BP's 54-year old Mississippi-raised managing director for the Americas and Asia, looks likely to take over from Tony Hayward as chief executive.
Mr Hayward lost the confidence of the US people and politicians after facing criticism for his handling of the explosion at the Deepwater Horizon rig and ensuing gusher, and his series of unfortunate public statements made matters worse.
A day before the company announces its results for the first half of 2010, investors are expecting Mr Hayward to resign and the softly spoken American to step, in an attempt to ensure the survival of the company's future in the US.
But who is Bob Dudley? Deemed a safe pair of hands, and described by Mr Hayward as the "management team's foreign secretary", Mr Dudley was appointed to co-ordinate BP's Gulf of Mexico clean-up and compensation efforts a month ago, having taken over that role from the chief executive last month.
He has been in the oil industry for most of his life, beginning his career with Amoco in 1979 and then moving to BP when it took over the US company in 1998.
An executive assistant to John Browne, the former chief executive, he oversaw operations in Russia and other areas before heading TNK-BP, BP's Russian joint venture that aimed to exploit the oil fields in eastern Siberia. He then joined the BP board in April last year as a managing director on a salary of $2.2m (£1.5m).
But it was as head of TNK-BP that Mr Dudley made his name. His steely resolve was tested when he was at the centre of a dispute between BP and the company's billionaire Russian shareholders over the control of the business in 2008, when they accused him of favouring BP. The increasingly politicised situation led to BP's technical staff being barred from working in Russia by a Siberian court. TNK-BP's Moscow offices were also raided by security services. It was then that he was forced to flee Russia, stating that he had "sustained harassment" from TNK-BP's Russian oligarch co-owners.
But while Mr Dudley was boss, from the formation of the group in 2003, TNK-BP increased oil output 33 per cent to 1.6m barrels per day, which supporters see as evidence that he has the skills to manage a big oil company.
BP, which has often been described by Americans as "Public Enemy Number One" since the oil spill, could turn a new leaf in terms of public perception if the British company were to be run by an American. The timing of the change might be problematic, given that there is still not yet a permanent solution for the spill in place, Mr Dudley is the safest bet for BP. The company's shareholders will be keeping their fingers crossed that the diplomat can fix the massive damage to BP's reputation.

Based on a tale told in the 1700s by the Jewish teacher, Jacob ben Wolf Kranz, Maggid of Dubno. Other versions can be found in The Hungry Clothes and Other Jewish Folktales by Peninah Schram, The Maggid of Dubno and His Parables by Benno Heinemann, and A Treasury of Jewish Folklore, edited by Nathan Ausubel.
There was once a very wealthy king who owned many beautiful things. He had cloth tapestries, piles of gold, and statues made by the very best sculptors in the land. Of all of his belongings, his very favorite possession was the most glorious diamond you can imagine. It was huge—as big around as his hand. And it was pure—clear and flawless, without any marks or blemishes. He loved to go and sit with that diamond, gazing at its beauty and perfection.
(Leader: (optional) Hold up a crystal and gaze at it.)
One day when the king went to look at his diamond, he discovered to his horror that it had a long, deep scratch. He couldn't believe his eyes! What could have happened to his flawless diamond?
Immediately he sent for all of the best stone cutters and diamond cutters in his kingdom. One by one they came to inspect the diamond. Each looked at it closely and then sadly shook his head. The scratch was too deep. If they tried to polish it they might break the diamond into pieces.
Finally one last diamond carver came before the king. He looked at the diamond closely, gazing at it from every angle.
(Leader: (optional) Act this out, with the crystal.)
The king watched with bated breath as the diamond carver turned the diamond over and over, pursing his lips and shaking his head.
Suddenly the diamond carver's face broke into a big smile. "I know how to fix this, your majesty!" he exclaimed. "Leave it to me. In two weeks time I will return your diamond to you, better than ever. However, you may not visit me during this time or check on my progress. You must wait until it is finished."
The king was very excited. Soon his flawless diamond would be back with his other lovely things, perfect again, the scratch removed. It took all the king's willpower to resist the temptation to visit the diamond carver to watch him work.
As for the diamond carver, day after day, night after night, he brought out his tools to fix that diamond. Bit by bit, he worked on that scratch. It was slow, tedious work. He knew he had to work carefully or the diamond could crack into pieces.
Finally the diamond cutter was finished. Carefully he wrapped the diamond in cloth to protect it, and he brought it before the king.
"Here it is, your majesty," he said. With a flourish he opened the cloth and presented the diamond.
The king gasped at what he saw. Where there had once been a scratch, a horrible flaw in his precious diamond, there was now an exquisitely beautiful flower carved into the diamond. Unable to polish the scratch out of the diamond, the diamond carver had instead turned the flaw into something beautiful.
The king loved his diamond more than ever. Now when he went to hold it in his hands and gaze upon it, he was reminded that even something imperfect or ugly or flawed can become something exquisitely beautiful.

Thanks your O.CH258350. I have conveyed paras 4 and 5 thereof, together with information in O.CH258355 to Director General of Political Affairs (Cruz) who was grateful for an up to date report on evacuation arrangements.1
- I had previously spoken to Indonesian Ambassador who confirmed Jakarta's earlier advice that he had on instructions informed the Portuguese that Indonesia would respond to a request from Portugal to participate in a security operation to restore order in Timor. Indonesia was concerned with the 'whole problem' of Timor, not just the evacuation arrangements. The latter would only take care of about 1000 foreigners and some military personnel. But what about the 600,000 indigenous people of Timor who were caught up in the fighting? Indonesia had close ties with these people and compared with their fate the evacuation of foreigners was only a 'minor problem'.
- Ruivo's response to the above was to say that he would consult the President immediately. Ruivo subsequently informed the Indonesian Ambassador (Say) that Portugal was exploring the possibility of establishing a good offices committee to mediate and to try to negotiate a settlement.
- I asked Say how Indonesia felt about a good offices committee. He did not reply directly but repeated that Indonesia was looking at the whole problem. The important thing was the restoration of law and order which would take care not only of foreigners in Timor but also the indigenous population.
- It was implicit in what Say told me that Indonesia does not regard a good offices committee as adequate to cope with the present situation even if it could be established immediately. You will note that a scenario is being developed in which Indonesia could reasonably claim that it offered to help restore the status quo in Timor, that the Portuguese Government failed to respond to Jakarta's offer, and that therefore Indonesia had no alternative but to take the necessary steps itself to stop the fighting and restore order. It is perhaps significant that when I asked Cruz this morning if they had had any response from Indonesia he said only that'Indonesia had offered to send a ship for evacuation purposes but had not responded to request for their views on political aspects'.

Britney's latest escapade: What's your take?
''I wanna get in the zone,'' Britney Spears sings on her single ''Me Against the Music'' -- but judging from her blink-and-you'll-miss it moment as a married woman on January 3, she may have meant the Twilight Zone. The pop goddess wed one Jason Allen Alexander, a friend from her Louisiana hometown, in Las Vegas on Saturday morning -- only to quickly file for an annulment. Is this what you'd call typical 22-year-old fun, or is it a more significant rebellion against her early fame? Considering that Britney isn't known for creating deep, serious music, will her party girl antics help or hurt her career?

MM Leader: Shining a light on role of FSA
The Keydata saga took yet another twist last week when Moneymarketing.co.uk revealed the firm's founder Stewart Ford had been granted a judicial review into the FSA's investigation.
In a strongly worded statement, Ford said he has "serious concerns" about the way the investigation was conducted and suggested the FSA should be held accountable for its "illegal conduct".
The FSA is at an advanced stage of its investigation into Keydata. It is likely to take the strongest action possible against anyone associated with the failure that it finds culpable.
Judging by the amount of money Ford made from Lifemark and Keydata, he is not short of cash and it is likely a High Court battle, and any resulting appeals, could see the FSA's conclusion delayed for a considerable time.
Any delay in truly getting to the bottom of who was to blame is regrettable but the judicial review may shine a useful light on the role of the regulator. Ford and the other directors of Keydata certainly have some serious questions to answer regarding their responsibilities for what occurred at the firm and the two investment vehicles, Lifemark and SLS Capital.
But it is also right that the role of the regulator, which has had such a dramatic impact on proceedings, is examined to ensure it conducted itself properly.
An independent review of the Keydata debacle, examining the role of key players, including the FSA, is the preferred route to getting all the answers IFAs and investors want. But until this is commissioned, the judicial review may offer a useful platform.
The FSA will be hoping its blunder of leaving a sensitive report into Keydata with the neighbour of the firm's director Mark Owen is an isolated incident and not indicative of other mistakes Ford will look to expose in his judicial review.
Low point
The Pension Protection Fund has this week confirmed that it will include the investment risk of a scheme's portfolio when calculating levies.
The idea of risk-based levies should be fed into the FSA's upcoming review of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to help ensure that decent low-risk IFA firms pay less for the mistakes of other higherrisk sectors.

"Judging by the amount of money Ford made from Lifemark and Keydata, he is not short of cash"
Unlike everybody else who got involved.More delay, why? The FSA is immune from prosecution so would the money Ford is spending on lawyers be more welcome in the pot of compensation that the FS industry is being bled to death by?
Quote: " The idea of risk-based levies should be fed into the FSA's upcoming review of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to help ensure that decent low-risk IFA firms pay less for the mistakes of other higherrisk sectors."
Why stop there? Should clients themse;lves not be made aware of the risks they may face.
Read the PPF paper - the variation on levies based on risk arises from the portfolios chosen by the pension fund itself - the client.
I offer an extract from my earlier article in MM back in February:
Clients understand, nearly instinctively, why the "price" of insuring an 18 year old Subura Impreza driver will be higher than a 55 year old Ford Escort driver - they know one carries a higher risk. When you ask them about their attitude to risk - do they understand, really understand the risks - do those who invested in Keydata?
What if they were given a "price" to insure against the risk - and the price quoted for Keydata was much higher than alternatives - would they not then better understand the true nature of such risks?What prompts all the complaints in these columns? Is it the "price" of regulation, is it the "price" to be paid out for compensation after the FSA fails?
In a market economy there is perhaps no better signal than that of "the price" - the evidence is all around. It is perhaps time that lessons were drawn from it and instead of just complaining, ideas for change debated.
From here:
The decisions of the PPF confirm the need for a debate - but wider than just the market - it should directly involve the client.We can bet that the FSA will fight tooth and nail, whatever the cost (to us), to wriggle out of culpability.
It's all very well for the FSA to talk ominously about taking "the strongest action possible against anyone associated with the failure that it finds culpable" but, as usual, we can probably discount from that anyone within the FSA itself. Even the FSA wouldn't have the gall to do another Clive Briault ~ would it?
At the root of all this, as always, is the issue of accountability, or rather lack of it when it comes to anything that the FSA either does or doesn't do. It would be interesting and possibly useful to know AIFA's position on the matter, given that a fair proportion of its membership may have been affected in one way or another. But from them we hear nothing.

The show was the season opener for the Cohoes Music Hall. Gatlin was cast from a spring audition in New York City, and was chosen to play the part of the saucy red cat "Bombalurina," one of the nine featured leads in the show.
As Bombalurina, Gatlin was a featured vocalist and dancer in the song "McCavity," which she sings with Demeter, a flirtatious cat, towards the end of the musical. Gatlin also had several vocal parts in other numbers in the show, including "The Gumbie Cat" with Demeter.
It was directed by Jacob Brent, who played the part of Mr. Mistoffolees in "Cats" on Broadway for six years.
The musical "Cats" is an Andrew Lloyd Weber creation, and is based on the book of poetry "Ole' Possum's Book of Practical Cats." It is the second longest-running show in Broadway history, and has won numerous awards, including the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Laurence Olivier Award.
Gatlin will be in Cleveland later in the fall teaching at the Cleveland City Ballet where she will conduct several master classes in musical theater dance and in the "Fosse Technique."
The Cohoes Music Hall is an historic theater in Cohoes, N.Y. Having been restored a number of years back, the hall is now in its ninth season of providing exciting and quality regional theater for the Albany area. This was the theater's first production of "Cats," one of the world's best loved and most enduring musicals.

A great little place to get away. Just off the beaten path but close enough to everything. Great hosts on the property, close enough to tend to things but always respecting your privacy.

They have their origin from Australia where they were bred from black orpingtons from England hence the name Austal for Austarlai and Orp for Orpington. It was bred as a dual purpose or utility purpose bird to provide both meat and eggs.
They have black pretty feathers that sometimes take a green shimmers when there is sunlight. Although smaller in size, they gave the ability to produce over two hundred and fifty brown eggs per hen each year. Upon maturation they will weigh about five pounds and have a white pinkish skin.
Most chicken enthusiast understands the value of having these birds in their farm. Although not very common people have every reason to look for them since they have the ability to provide consistent income when well bred. Their white pinkish color and small body size is what makes them different from the black jersey giants.
This breed has a sweet, calm, dignified and docile temperament and they do not mind being confined apart from being somewhat shy. As dual purpose birds they are renowned for their sweet and excellent meat. For individuals thinking of rearing chicken for subsistent reason, then this is the breed to go for.
As if that is not all, these birds are excellent brooders and have the ability to sit on eggs and care diligently for them until they hatch. Since they are meat birds, people can slaughter the old ones for a great delicacy. It is considered as a fairly rare bird and breed despite being an all round chicken. However, there are many reasons why many people are now opting to have the bird in their farm or home.
This is without doubt an all rounded bird and has the ability to endure extremely harsh weather conditions and especially winter season excellent for laying and brooding chicken. Additionally, they are not prone to flying too high above the sky making them best to be reared in a fenced location. With these birds in the compound, there is no need to worry about them escaping due to this inability to fly too high.
Ensure that you are able to take them home as soon as they arrive and be sure to follow whatever directions send by the hatchery. These are very wonderful chickens for people with desire to keep an all rounded bird that is easy to keep and maintain within a home.
To get some black australorp, there are numerous hatcheries online that can send people one day old chick upon order and request. The hatcheries will ship them through email as perishable items since they will not need food or water during the initial couple of days. They get their nutrition from the eggs making it possible to ship them over a given distance.v

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Miss Kitty!
Facts about Miss Kitty
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Miss Kitty's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Miss Kitty was abandoned by her previous owners when they moved away and left her behind at an apartment complex. Thanks to a caring neighbor she was taken in and fed until Mountain Hope was contacted. Miss Kitty is a very affectionate lap cat. She is excellent with kids, other cats and dogs. Miss Kitty loves attention, loves being inside and is completely litterbox trained. She has been spayed, shots UTD, vet checked and leukemia tested (negative). Her adoption fee is $80.00.
Other Pets at Mountain Hope Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Miss Kitty, a Hazard Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Hazard, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Hazard.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hazard already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hazard breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hazard paves the way for another one to be saved.

Friday, July 02, 2004 - Page updated at 12:34 A.M. Saddam defiant in court, says Bush is the criminal By Rajiv Chandrasekaran
Saddam's 26-minute court appearance, similar to an arraignment in the United States, was the first step in a lengthy process aimed at putting him on trial for crimes against humanity, genocide and other offenses. He was followed by 11 of his former top deputies, who were accused of roles in many of the same atrocities. Saddam's presence before the court was intended to be a brief procedural formality, a chance for the investigating judge to inform the former president of his status as a criminal defendant and of his rights to legal counsel. But Saddam stretched the proceeding into a 26-minute event replete with feisty exchanges with the judge, who sat behind a wooden desk a few feet away. He questioned the judge's credentials. He insisted he deserved immunity because he had been acting in an official capacity. And he challenged the legitimacy of the special tribunal set up to judge him and his associates, saying, "Everyone knows this is theater by [President] Bush the criminal in an attempt to win the election." When he walked into the small courtroom, escorted by two burly Iraqi bailiffs, he appeared thinner than at the time of his Dec. 13 capture by U.S. forces near Tikrit. The beard and hair grown during eight months as a fugitive had been trimmed. Instead of the Italian suits he once wore, he was clad in off-the-rack slacks and a sport coat purchased by the U.S. military for his appearance.
His sullen demeanor quickly gave way to finger-wagging, animated hand gestures, hectoring comments and contemplative stroking of his salt-and-pepper beard. The one-time law student said he had been "elected by the people" and asked the judge, "What law formed this court?" The 11 other defendants, who included former Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz and former Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan, were far less combative. Some remained visibly fearful throughout their brief appearances, invoking God on repeated occasions. All signed a document acknowledging they had been read their legal rights, something Saddam refused to do. Like Saddam, many appeared far different than they had during their days in power. Ali Hasan al-Majid, also known as "Chemical Ali," who reportedly gave the orders to use chemical weapons against Kurdish separatists in the late 1980s, used a walking stick to enter the courtroom.
The proceedings were conducted on the grounds of one of Saddam's former palaces, now a U.S. military base called Camp Victory. Saddam's appearance was videotaped but not broadcast live. A small pool of journalists in the room took notes, but their accounts of the exchanges between Saddam and the judge varied slightly. Fewer than 30 people were in the chamber. Other than the journalists, only a few Iraqis were present, including a representative of interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and the tribunal president, Salem Chalabi. Saddam is under the legal custody of the new Iraqi interim government, which took political control of the country Monday, but is being held in a U.S.-run detention facility at an undisclosed location. But when he entered the courthouse, handcuffed to a chain around his waist, uniformed U.S. military personnel withdrew so Saddam would see only Iraqi guards. As he was led to the courtroom, people inside could hear the clanking of his chains, which were removed only when he was outside the wooden door to the chamber. The proceeding began with the judge asking the former president to state his name. "I am Saddam Hussein, president of the Republic of Iraq," he responded. When the judge asked whether he was the former president, Saddam insisted he was the "present" and "current" president. He then was asked a series of questions: Where was he born? Was he once the leader of the Baath party? Was he once the leader of the armed forces? He responded to some questions orally and shook his head affirmatively to others. He demanded that the judge introduce himself. The judge, whom officials have refused to identify for security reasons, said he was the investigating judge for Iraq's special tribunal, set up to try cases of major crimes committed while Saddam was president. "You are representing the occupying forces?" Saddam asked. "No," responded the judge. "I'm an Iraqi representing Iraq." He said he'd been appointed as a judge "by a presidential decree under the former regime," meaning by Saddam, and was resuming his duties. Saddam made his most defiant comments after the judge read a list of seven atrocities the former president is alleged to have ordered: the use of chemical weapons against the Kurdish village of Halabja in 1988; the 1983 killing of members of a prominent Kurdish family, the Barzani clan; the murder of political party leaders over a 30-year period; the murder of religious leaders; a campaign of brutal attacks against Kurds in the 1980s; the violent suppression of Kurds and Shiites after the 1991 Persian Gulf War; and the event that prompted that war, Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. When the judge mentioned Kuwait, Saddam became agitated. "I'm surprised you're charging me with this as an Iraqi, when everyone knows Kuwait is part of Iraq," Saddam told the judge, repeating an argument his government used to justify the invasion. Saddam said later in the hearing that he was protecting the Iraqi people from Kuwaiti "dogs." He charged that oil-rich Kuwait had been turning Iraqi women into "10 dinar prostitutes" and that he had sought to "defend Iraqi honor" and revive Iraq's "historical rights" to Kuwait. The judge cut him off, saying, "You are in a legal hearing and we will not allow you to speak in any way that is disrespectful to this court." Later, when he was told he could have a court-appointed lawyer if he could not afford one, Saddam scoffed. "According to the Americans," he said, "I have millions of dollars in Geneva, so I should be able to afford one." At the end of the proceeding, after the judge had informed him of his rights, including the right to be represented by a lawyer and the right to remain silent, Saddam refused to sign a brief document indicating he had been read his rights. As Saddam stood up to leave, one of the Iraqi guards in the room rushed to help him up. "Take it easy," the former president said. "I'm an old man." If convicted, Saddam and his associates could face the death penalty. Although capital punishment was suspended during the U.S. occupation, Iraq's interim government has decided to lift the ban, Chalabi said. References to the death-penalty provision in Iraqi law, mentioned several times during yesterday's proceeding, appeared to unnerve several defendants. Trials are not expected to begin until late this year or early next year. Material from The Associated Press, Baltimore Sun and Newsday is included in this report.

Meeting recording allows an organizer to record all screen activity that is presented in the GoToMeeting Viewer Window, including desktop and application sharing of other attendees presenting during the meeting.
Note: Although you can record screen sharing and audio, you cannot record webcams at this time.
See the System Requirements section of this guide for requirements to record a meeting.
Before recording a meeting, an organizer must set recording preferences, including selecting the audio format and recording media format (either GoToMeeting format or Windows Media Player format on a Windows, and .MP4 format on a Mac). If the Windows Media Player format is selected, GoToMeeting will begin an automatic conversion process immediately after a meeting has ended. Allow time for the conversion to take place. The time needed is dependent upon video content, CPU speed and amount of memory available.
To record the audio portion of your session, an organizer must have a sound card installed on his or her computer. To record using the GoToMeeting integrated audio feature, an organizer can use the telephone or a microphone connected to his or her computer. To record using the organizer's private audio service, an organizer must have a phone patch connected to both the phone and the "mic in" port of his or her computer.
Only 1 recording file is created per meeting. This means that if an organizer clicks Record to start the recording, then stops the recording and subsequently restarts the recording during the course of one meeting, GoToMeeting will continue recording to 1 meeting recording file.
The default destination location to save a recording defaults to the My Documents folder. An organizer can change the destination location but only before beginning recording. It is recommended that the designated location has a minimum of 1GB of free space on Windows and 5GB on Macs in order to accommodate the recording. For optimum recording performance and in-session experience, it is recommended that you select a location on your local hard drive.
Note: We recommend having 2 organizers record the session in case 1 organizer encounters any issues that may potentially disrupt the recording.
