Candy Crush Crushing Your Android
We've been getting some complaints that while users are browsing on their mobiles the play store opens and prompts them for a download of Candy Crush Saga.
We took this problem to our advertising partner because we thought it likely there was a problem with one of the ads being run on N4G.
The conclusion is that this is not a problem caused by N4G, NewsBoiler or the ads currently running on the network. There is malicious code that Android users are running into that infects Android devices and makes it seem like the problem is from websites they are surfing.
Unfortunately, that means that this is not something we can help directly with - indirectly, you're armed with the info so hopefully you can get your infected device sorted! :) Some users have reported success with turning off javascript and/or clearing their cache and cookies.
UPDATE - Here are some links that might help:
Remove adtrack.king.com Hijacker: http://malwarefixes.com/rem...
Watch Out for Mobile Adware Posing as Candy Crush Saga Apps: http://www.hyphenet.com/blo...
No other website has the problem, so I'm assuming it's targeted towards N4G cookies?
I managed to find a way that it would not launch Playstore, just "clear defaults" on Playstore in settings, all you should get now is a prompt to launch Playstore, just clear that prompt to carry on surfing N4G.
I know its not a proper fix, but it saves you from being booted from your internet browser everytime.
initially i switched from chrome to firefox on my GS2 because chrome had issues with web pages in general. Firefox worked until i started getting the play store pop up.
now i have gone back to chrome on my GS2 and it works fine.
Anyway thanks for the heads up.
Unfortunately, I never found the culprit as I did a block uninstall on a load of games, this did get rid of the problem though.
Should also say during my research, that this problem is not just related to N4G, other users on other websites have reported this problem as well.
I had a free version of solitaire installed on my phone and it was there for a couple of months.
I'm guessing an update went out for the app to start ads appearing.
Once I removed the app, the ads stopped appearing.
Don't know if a similar thing happens that effects the browser, but good to keep in mind.

On View> The Cincinnati Museum of Art Presents The Modernist Jewelry of Art Smith
From the Village to Vogue: The Modernist Jewelry of Art Smith
Cincinnati Museum of Art
953 Eden Park Drive
Cincinnati, OH
Through May 18
From the Village to Vogue: The Modernist Jewelry of Art Smith consists of twenty-four pieces of silver and gold jewelry created by the Brooklyn-reared modernist jeweler Arthur Smith (1917–1982). Smith trained at Cooper Union and opened his first shop on Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village in 1946. Art was an active supporter of the black and gay rights movement and early black modern dance groups. He included these themes in his works.
ICFF Walkabout: Wearable Maps
One item that caught our eye at ICFF wasn't furniture at all.
Every city has certain geographic quirks that people come to identify with a place–Manhattan's rigid grid, the radial boulevards of Paris–even when viewing a two-dimensional version of it. You Are Here, a collection from Israeli jewelry designer Talia Wiener, was inspired by just such a concept.
Each pendant or brooch incorporates part of the urban fabric of Rome, Paris, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, New York City, San Francisco, Barcelona, or London. According to Wiener, her designs play with the notion that there is a certain location-oriented secret shared by a city's residents while also proclaiming their membership in "a broader, ever-growing urban tribe."

Silverman: Study the markets to avoid surprises
Last week we began our investing highlight summary series by reminding everyone that: 1) you have a reason you are saving and investing money, and 2) you need to keep that reason in mind to manage your investments successfully.
As promised, I plan to share how to keep the markets from surprising you, but first we need to define surprise. The best way to do this is with a real-life example. In March 2009, the stock markets hit their bottom. From their highs toward the end of 2007, many of the stock indexes had dropped over 50 percent. More than half of people's wealth that had been invested in equities was gone.
I was not surprised.
That doesn't mean that I predicted the decline, put all my clients into cash before 2008, and missed the bear market. I did not know when the decline would happen, but I was not surprised. I didn't know just how bad this particular market was going to become, either. Many people were shocked by how far the market could decline, including many of my fellow professionals.
Likewise I did not know that the market would more than double from that March bottom to where it is now. Yet, again, I was not surprised.
Good surgeons are not surprised when the unexpected happens in surgery because they learn all about potential problems and how to manage them. Good mechanics are not surprised when a bolt-head shears off even if they had never seen it happen before. They have observed and learned from others. In the same respect, good investors know what the markets have done in the past and what they are capable of doing in the future. They don't get carried away with the euphoria of the moment if an investment seemingly doubled overnight, nor do they panic when it plummets back down to earth.
So how do you keep the market from surprising you? By studying it. By going online or to seminars or to books and finding out how they work and how sometimes they don't. Knowledge can prevent irrational exuberance and calm fear, allowing you to take control back from your emotions and let knowledge and logic guide you instead.
Are you ready for all that work? No? Then hire it out. But then milk the professionals for their knowledge. Ask both the upside and the downside of any investment. Ask how it fits into your portfolio and why they think this. And watch that they give you knowledge and expertise rather than tapping on your emotions just to separate you from your money.
Next week: How to balance risk.

Fun, but everytime i go to hangar then back to level select i can only pick the first 2 levels level 1 is getting pretty old
Ok, it was fun to play but as Squoll pointed out there are some bugs and things that could be improved.
- The level bug. After going into hangar i can only go to training and 1st level though i've reached level 5 and i can see stars beside them properly. Strange thing is if i replay stage 1 all things come back to normal
- The failure bug. After boss shoted down my main base the game trated it as i completed the stage (level 6 was unlocked)
- Controls. Its hard to aim with keyboard maybe enable using mouse or add some smoothing function to ship rotation?
- Blasts. It will be splendid if you can see a blast when you hit an enemy it will make some things easier
- Learning curve. till levels 1-4 it was like walking in the park but in level 5 BLAM! first wave almost shoted me down. damn maybe i'm just little rusty :)
However it's a great game and with little tuning it can get very interesting.
Best regards - Ehix
not much features but good game overall.
sound design and graphics are really cool.
upgrades should be more balanced, they ask you to play too much.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. -- U.S. Navy officials say a suspect is in custody after a shooting on Navy property at a facility in Tennessee.
A tweet on the Navy's official Twitter page says Naval Support Activity Midsouth in Millington, near Memphis, was on lockdown, which has been lifted. One person is in custody, according to the Navy.
A Navy recruiter who had been relieved of duty shot two people at a Navy base north of Memphis and was quickly taken into custody, according to a law enforcement official who had been briefed on the developments.
The injuries were not life-threatening, said that official and another official, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.

Congratulations on your acceptance, I knew you would get in -
0Nov 2, '12 by JB13I am just curious if anyone has any insight on what the probability is of someone from the waiting list be accepted. I thought the wait for the letter itself was bad but I am beginning to think this wait may be worse! Any info would be greatly appreciated. If you were accepted off the wait list, what number were you?

Anyone still waiting your letters like me?
Should I just wait til I get the letter? or contact the Nursing admission office?
Hope to hear anything from you guys soon!

The U.S. Supreme Court narrowly ruled today that sentencing laws which require children convicted of murder to be sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole are unconstitutional. It is a sign of our times that such a modest ruling — one that still allows kids to be sentenced to life in prison without parole and merely permits judges to consider mitigating facts before imposing such a sentence — would even be controversial.
But, hey, we live in a world in which a Supreme Court Justice — in this case the amazingly reactionary Samuel Alito — can write something like the following (as he did in dissent): Read More

The Spiral Clock is a very original timepiece that tells you what time it is in a both peculiar and awesome way. This one-of-a-kind wall clock almost resembles the Labyrinth maze game you may have had as a kid.
The Spiral Clock works by turning slowly until the ball inside falls through the hole to start the cycle again. To tell the time, all you need to do is look at the position of the ball and follow the numbers on the clock face.

This track features a deep, funky, in-the-pocket drum beat, complimented by a live bass guitar, and an exotic melodic hook!
Siamese Connection keeps the groove throughout the track, with subtle effects to keep the track interesting. A short bass solo riff is also featured in this track.
This track has a hyper-focused vibe, like a thief attempting to break into a safe at a large bank. A great feel to spice up your film, intros, website, a podcast, or radio!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Indications of a Possible Increase in Kidnapping and Extortion Cases in
The US Consulate in Monterrey, Mexico posted a Warden message Aug 23
advising US citizens of an Aug 20 fire fight that took place outside the
American School Foundation of Monterrey (ASFM) in the upscale suburb of
Santa Catarina that initially [so they advised it looked like a
kidnapping but knew it was not? Or they advised it was a kidnapping and
now they know it was not?] appeared to be a kidnapping attempt. An
executive protection (EP) team from Formento Economico Mexicano, S.A.
(FEMSA) (CEO Jose Antonio Fernandez's daughter attends ASFM) was
conducting routine surveillance around the ASFM facilities at
approximately noon local time Aug 20 were confronted by a group of armed
men in two vans and accused them of working for a rival cartel. When
the FEMSA EP team denied the accusations and radioed for backup, a fire
fight erupted between the armed men and the FEMSA EP team members which
resulted in the death of two FEMSA EP agents, the injuring of three
others and four EP agents taken hostage by the armed men. The four
agents were released the morning of Aug. 21 after their identities were
verified by their captors, indicating that the FEMSA EP team was not the
target but that the team's surveillance was caught by this criminal
groups countersurveillance measures. Mexican authorities have denied
that the Aug 20 incident was a kidnapping attempt on Fernandez's
daughter (initial OS [define] reports stated this) and the evidence
appears to point towards a case of mistaken identity, but the pervasive
fear of falling victim to extortion or kidnapping in the Monterrey
region, particularly among the wealthy elite, persist and is continuing
to increase - for good reason. Organized crime elements in Mexico that
have been backed into a corner by Mexican security operations and rival
organizations have expanded in to other criminal markets, such as
kidnapping and extortion, to supplement their. While kidnapping and
extortion rackets are nothing new to the Monterrey area, there are
certain indicators businesses and private citizens can identify in
looking for increasing trend in kidnapping and extortion operations.
The (degrading) deteriorating security situation within Monterrey can be
directly attributed to the on-going conflict between Los Zetas and the
New Federation (an alliance between the Sinaloa Federation, Gulf Cartel
and La Familia Michoacana) [LINK=]. The conflict began in late January
2010 along the South Texas-Mexico border region and spread to the
Monterrey metropolitan area in the early spring [LINK=]. As the
conflict has progressed through the spring and summer months, Los Zetas
have appeared to have been on the losing end of both a New Federation
and Mexican military/law enforcement offensive as several open source
reports have indicated that Los Zetas have lost their foothold in the
Reynosa and Matamoros areas. Additionally, control of traditional Los
Zetas strongholds, such as Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey, have become
increasingly contested by the New Federation in addition to the ever
present pressure from Mexican security forces. However, in recent
months Los Zetas senior leadership in Monterrey has appeared to have
been hit hard by Mexican military and law enforcement operations in the
Monterrey region in particular. The leader of Los Zetas for Monterrey,
Hector "El Tori" Raul Luna Luna, was captured in a Mexican military
operation June 9 [LINK=], and then less than a month later Hector's
brother, Esteban "El Chachis" Luna Luna, who had taken over the
leadership position in Monterrey was captured by yet another Mexican
military operation July 7 [LINK=]. A senior lieutenant within the Los
Zetas organization known only as "El Sonrics" was chosen to be the third
leader in Monterrey in as many months after the arrest of Esteban Luna
Luna; however, El Sonrics' tenure lasted about as long as his
predecessor as he was killed in fire fight with members of the Mexican
military in Monterrey Aug 14 [LINK=], along with three other members of
Los Zetas that were acting as his bodyguards. In addition to losing
several key members of their leadership, several large weapons caches
seized belonging to Los Zetas have been seized, and numerous lower level
operative killed or arrested in those seizures and other law enforcement
and military operations.
With increasing pressure from both Mexican security forces and the New
Federation, it is becoming increasingly likely for the Los Zetas
organization to expand their kidnapping and extortion practices,
especially in the Monterrey region, [comma] to supplement lost
operational capability and regenerate income flows. Other Mexican
criminal organizations have followed similar operational models in the
past such as the Arellano Felix organization (AFO), also known as the
Tijuana cartel, in the Tijuana area and the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes
organization (VCF) in the Juarez region. After suffering major setbacks
to their leadership in the late 1990s and early 2000s with six of the
seven brothers of the Arellano Felix family in law enforcement custody
or dead, factions of the AFO turned kidnapping and extortion as a means
to supplement their income, which had flagged due to an inability to
traffic dope from a lack of leadership and an increase in law
enforcement scrutiny [LINK=
http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20090218_mexico_third_war]. The decision
of the Teodoro "El Teo" Garcia Simental faction of the AFO to pursue
kidnapping and extortion was a breaking point within the AFO as the
Arellano Felix family denounced the practice saying that it turned the
population against the organization, and Garcia went on to align his
faction with the Sinaloa organization. Equally, the VCF, also known as
the Juarez cartel, has increasingly turned to kidnapping and extortion
as they have felt the pinch from the large deployment of Mexican
security forces to Juarez and northern Chihuahua state as well as from
the Sinaloa Federations offensive to take over the Juarez region.
Juarez business owners are frequently required to pay "cuotas"
(kickbacks)??? to the VCF enforcement arm, La Linea, or face having
their businesses set on fire or employees kidnapped or even execution
for non-payment. Juarez business owners, with increasing frequency,
have had to simply shut down their operations.
While there have been kidnapping operations conducted by Los Zetas in
the Monterrey region before, they have been operational or political in
nature to clear or intimidate a human roadblock for the organization to
continue its trafficking operations - which often include government
officials and other participants in the Mexican drug trade. The
Monterrey Transit and Roads secretaries were both kidnapped from their
homes May 31 in response to new policies implemented by the individuals.
However, there has been some indication that the target set has
possibly begun to shift towards local business owners. A used car
salesman was kidnapped Aug 18 as he arrived at his car lot, and an owner
of a pawn shop was kidnapped Aug 8 when eight armed men posing as bakery
employees stormed his business and forced him out of the store. Also,
Monterrey is target rich environment for kidnapping and for ransom
operations. Many of Mexico's wealthy industrial elite call Monterrey
home, and several Latin America's largest corporations are also based
out of or have major operations in Monterrey.
As Los Zetas continued to be pressured the Mexican government and
rivals, with the likelihood of criminal organizations expanding their
kidnapping operations, business owners and private citizens can look for
certain signals and indicators to help avoid the potentially increasing
criminal activity. Los Zetas, as well as any major criminal
organization in Mexico, will conduct hostile surveillance of a target
before launching any sort of extortion or kidnapping operations.
Situational awareness [LINK=] and a comprehensive counter-surveillance
programs can help identify hostile surveillance of a business or a high
net worth individual, and can alert the possible targets of potential
criminal aggression and allow the targets to take the necessary actions
to thwart a potential attack. Additionally, an increase in extortion
operations against local business or even larger corporations'
operations would indicate an equal increase desperation on the part of
the criminal organization. While kidnapping operations targeting local
business executive have occurred and continue to occur in the Monterrey
area, these types of operations have the greatest potential to increase
due to the target rich environment and increasing desperation of an
organization with its back against the wall. Measures can be taken to
prevent kidnapping operations from being carried out successfully, such
as the employment of a EP team and a comprehensive countersurveillance
program, but as we have seen before the when organizations like Los
Zetas have been backed into a corner they have shown themselves to be
incredibly resourceful and their tactical expertise and military
background will present enormous challenges to even the most prepared
individuals, teams and organizations

Paparazzo dies chasing Bieber
Comment on this storyA photographer hoping to snap a few pics of Justin Bieber's Ferrari died after being hit by another car.
According to gossip site TMZ, the paparazzo had been following Bieber's white Ferrari when it was pulled over during a routine traffic stop by California Highway Patrol. The photographer tried to take pictures of the event, but was advised to move back by the traffic officials because they feared the situation was unsafe.
Unfortunately for the photographer, that indeed proved to be the case as, some time later, he was struck by an oncoming vehicle.
Justin Bieber wasn't even in the vehicle. According to TMZ's sources, the Ferrari was being driven by a friend of the pop star.

Many still in dark about new insurance marketBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | September 26,2013MONTPELIER With its Oct. 1 launch date just days away, fewer than half of Vermonters have even heard of Vermont Health Connect, the new online insurance marketplace at which more than 100,000 residents will soon be required to purchase their health coverage.
State officials, however, say a $6 million advertising blitz will improve public awareness in advance of next years enrollment deadline. And the same poll that exposes the lack of public knowledge about Vermont Health Connect, officials say, also spotlights consumers generally positive views toward the concept.
Lindsay Tucker, deputy commissioner at the Department of Vermont Health Access, said the poll, commissioned by the state and conducted in late August, offers baseline data on consumer awareness prior to the recent launch of television, radio and print advertising campaigns.
We actually found that awareness is lower in some of the groups that will be using Vermont Health Connect, Tucker said Wednesday. And that is helpful information for us to have, because it allows us to concentrate to make sure we are reaching those populations.
The federal Affordable Care Act mandates an online insurance exchange in every state. The exchange is designed to simplify the market by providing an apples-to-apples comparison of competing insurance products, and improve access, by offering financial assistance to eligible consumers who purchase plans sold on the exchange.
But Vermont is pursuing the exchange more vigorously than most states, and has passed legislation that will require individuals and business with 50 or fewer employees purchase their coverage from the exchange.
The controversial mandate has spurred headlines in media outlets across the state since the legislation passed last year. But the ubiquity of the exchange in the Statehouse apparently hasnt made it common knowledge outside Montpelier.
The telephone survey of 1,009 Vermont residents between the ages of 18 and 64 found that 43 percent have ever heard about Vermont Health Connect. And only one in five residents knows that the name refers to the states new insurance marketplace.
According to the poll, conducted by the Washington, D.C., research and communications firm PerryUndem, the lower-income residents most likely to benefit from federal subsidies available at Vermont Health Connect are also the least likely to know it exists.
The poll spotlights regional differences in awareness as well; fewer than 40 percent of residents in Rutland, Bennington, Windham and Windsor counties have heard of Vermont Health Connect, compared to more than 50 percent in Chittenden County.
Peter Sterling, director of the Vermont Campaign for Health Care Security, is among the 250 navigators with whom the state has contracted to spread awareness about Vermont Health Connect. Sterling, who spent his Wednesday manning a table loaded with educational literature about the exchange outside the DMV office in Montpelier, said hes confident the state is on track to get the information to the people that need it.
The exchange opens on Oct. 1, and plans sold there will begin taking effect Jan. 1. But people have until March 31 of 2014 to enroll. If they miss that deadline, they will have to go without insurance for the entirety of 2014.
I dont think that April 1 is going to roll around and somebody is going to say, Wait a second, I didnt know what I was supposed to do, Sterling said. People may choose not to enroll. But Im pretty sure theyll have the information they need to enroll if they choose to.
Vermont will spend about $2 million on the navigators, selected based on their ability to reach key demographics. Sterling said the effort to reach out to lower-income residents is unprecedented, and dwarfs what Vermont did in advance of the launch of Catamount Health.
As for early numbers from the poll, Sterling said thats to be expected.
Its a completely unrealistic expectation to think you can do outreach for a couple months and expect people to have an incredibly high level of awareness, Sterling said. It just takes time. And what the state is doing right now is so unique that Im confident people are going to get the information.
When people get information about what Vermont Health Connect is, according to the results of the survey, they tend to express an interest in using it. The poll found that 60 percent of respondents are very or somewhat interested in using Vermont Health Connect to get insurance if they needed it.
The Department of Vermont Health Access will commission another poll in the near future, to gauge the success of the states outreach efforts.

Pin-Up Tease Boudior Individual Curl is definitely not a tease—this mascara follows through on its curling claim and has a brush that provides great separation. The brush is rounded to follow the curve of the lashline and encourage curl; however, the angle of the brush does make it difficult to apply mascara to lower and inner corner lashes.
Although this leaves lashes with a slight curl on its own, you'll want use a lash curler either before applying this mascara for even more defined curl.
This small Los Angeles–based makeup line was founded in 1999 by a woman named Toni Ko. The company's Web site is vague about Ko's background, merely stating that she developed an interest in cosmetics as a teenager (you know, just like about 99.9% of teenage women) and wanted to create her own line of cosmetics. Ko's goal was to produce high-quality products at affordable prices, and that's the draw of NYX (pronounced "nicks") Cosmetics. We are pleased to report that, for the most part, Ko succeeded in her childhood dream.
It is important to note that this line offers a full selection of makeup products, from foundations to lip gloss. However, the only place to access everything NYX Cosmetics has to offer is their Web site. The Ulta chain is the largest distributor of NYX Cosmetics products in the United States, but they carry a smaller selection of NYX products. The good news is that most of the few NYX products Ulta stocks are impressive, especially the powder eyeshadows, which compete evenly with eyeshadows that cost a lot more.

California Kidnapping Suspect James DiMaggio Killed By FBI Agent In Idaho Wilderness; 16-Year-Old Girl Is Safe
He was killed after a massive manhunt. The girl has been safely recovered according to authorities.
James Lee DiMaggio, 40, left, and Hannah Anderson, 16
San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said at a news conference Saturday that James DiMaggio, 40, accused of kidnapping 16-year-old Hannah Anderson, was shot and killed by an FBI agent during an attempt to arrest him, reported KTLA 5.
He was killed at 4 p.m. on Saturday in a remote spot near the town of Cascade.
Anderson was safe and was transported to a hospital. She is expected to reunite with her father on Sunday.
DiMaggio was found after a massive search effort which included 150 FBI officials along with local and state law enforcement personnel.
On Friday, horseback riders had spotted two people who the descriptions of DiMaggio and Anderson in the Idaho wilderness.
DiMaggio is suspected of killing Hannah's mother Christina Anderson, 44, and her 8-year-old brother Ethan Anderson, whose bodies were found last Sunday night in DiMaggio's burning house in California near the Mexico border.
The LA Times reported:
DiMaggio had been considered armed and dangerous. Earlier in the day, FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said that danger required officials to send in "highly trained, enhanced SWAT teams and law enforcement" as part of the search.

Despite spill, Louisiana is still devoted to oil

The New York Times
MORGAN CITY, La. — In some parts of the country, the sight of oil drifting toward the Louisiana coast, oozing into the fragile marshlands and bringing large parts of the state's economy to a halt, has prompted calls to stop offshore drilling indefinitely, if not altogether.
Here, in the middle of things, those calls are few. Here, in fact, the unfolding disaster is not even prompting a reconsideration of the 75th annual Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival.
"All systems are go," said Lee Delaune, the festival's director, sitting in his cluttered office in a historic house known as Cypress Manor. "We will honor the two industries as we always do," Delaune said. "More so probably in grand style because it's our diamond jubilee."
Louisiana is an oil state, through and through. A gushing leak off its coast has not, apparently, changed that.
Though local and state politicians are railing against BP and what they consider lax industry regulation and enforcement, it is nearly impossible to find any of them calling for offshore drilling to cease, or even slow down. Louisiana's senators — Mary Landrieu, a Democrat, and David Vitter, a Republican — have both scrambled to be the most prominent voice to argue the country should not retreat from offshore drilling just because of the spill. Many of their constituents seem to agree.
"They're angry, they're frustrated, they're feeling helpless, but they still understand that it is part of the culture and the fabric of the economy," said Rep. Charlie Melancon, whose district encompasses all of the areas where oil has come ashore. "It is what it is."
In a state that is particularly sensitive to the health of its coastal wetlands, which serve as a barrier against hurricanes, such an attitude might seem odd — even self-defeating. But as the legendary Gov. Huey Long believed with great conviction, a state willing to let others exploit its resources is also a state with considerable leverage.
But while Long's taxes on oil paid for schoolbooks, the terms of the trade-off in the coming years may become more directly equivalent: the costly restoration of Louisiana's coastal wetlands, which for decades have been slashed by oil pipelines and canals and are now threatened by crude itself, may be financed in large part by offshore drilling.
In the months after Hurricane Katrina, Landrieu helped push through a federal bill that allowed for greatly expanded deepwater drilling in the gulf but required that 37.5 percent of federal revenues generated be divided among the coastal states.
According to a formula based on factors including proximity to wells and miles of coastline, Louisiana is the biggest beneficiary of that revenue. And under a state constitutional amendment, it is required to spend the money exclusively on hurricane-protection measures and coastal restoration.
Until 2017, the revenue sharing applies only to new wells, so for now Louisiana is drawing only a small fraction of the royalties it eventually will. (Landrieu has said she wants it to apply immediately to existing wells.)
But Garret Graves, the chairman of the state's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, said these potential royalties were not a factor in the state's approach to its natural resources. While officials have pushed for revenue sharing, he said, the oil industry will continue to play a big role here with or without such payments. "Our state has carried the torch for the country in terms of the oil and gas for years," Graves said. "It's part of the culture."
In this he echoed a common refrain: As long as the country maintains its insatiable appetite for oil, Louisiana will be willing to bear many of the risks. The awareness of those risks does not seem to change the state's vigorously pro-industry outlook, though it does reinforce a belief Louisianans should be compensated for the downsides.
Cathy Norman, manager of the roughly 40,000 acres of coastal wetlands in the Edward Wisner Donation land trust, knows the risks well.
The land trust she manages includes much of Port Fourchon, the largest onshore support harbor for the deepwater industry in the gulf, but also pristine beaches and mangrove marshlands where, to her horror, she has seen tar balls, sheen and even emulsified crude. Norman's late husband, Shea Penland, a geologist who died in 2008, was a forceful advocate for preservation of the Louisiana's coastal wetlands.
"We are a working coastline," Norman said. "Part of the reason that we are so prolific is because of the delta and because of the geology and geography of the area. It all fits in. It is what we are."

We're thinking of putting a prep sink in our peninsula, but we really wanted butcher block. To me water + wood doesn't seem like a good combination, but what do I know?
Can you have a sink with butcher block? Does it need to be a certain kind - undermount, overmount, flush? Any special installation requirements? Would it be better to use two surfaces with a solid surface around the sink and wood elsewhere? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You'll get varying opinions, but most will agree that you need to use an extremely water resistant finish on the wood such as pure tung oil or Waterlox. Teak is also an extremely water resistant wood on its own, with either of the above, even better. I have american cherry counters throughout the kitchen treated with pure tung oil/citrus solvent. No issues in over three years of hard use at two sinks. It can be done. |

I've been thinking about a maple butcher block for my island, too, but having worries about water. hmmm. We'd settled on a quartz countertop, but my imagination is still wandering around all the color schemes in our plan. |
- Posted by threegraces (My Page) on Wed, Jan 20, 10 at 12:41
Pirula - do you have undermount sinks? |
It can be done, but you will need to be vigilant about cleaning up water spills, and may come to wish you had used something else a few years down the line. Even though butcher block is laminated together with waterproof glue, once in a rare while you can get some slight separation of a joint, especially when the wood surface is exposed to water. If you do choose to go ahead with butcherblock, your best bet would be to use an overmount sink with a standard bead of silicone under the edge to seal it. Nonetheless, you may get some discoloration on the wood where the two materials meet as it's hard to keep this intersection perfectly dry. |
Yes...they're both undermounted. Mine also aren't butcher block, they're planks. Personally, I think the undermount is way easier to keep dry than an overmount would be. But that's me. I clean up spilled water, because it leaves spots behind if I don't (which clean up with a wipe, but they bug me). Hubby and DS do not clean up splatters, they seem to be invisible to anyone with a Y chromosome in my house. No issues. Water just beads until it dries. |
I'm having the same dilemma. Wanting to do a 1913 period kitchen just because the rest of the house is almost all original so I thought it would be fun to keep the old theme going. In a very similar house, I saw that the original countertop was a medium-dark to dark countertop...maybe mahogany or cherry or even old-growth fir. It had a heavy polyurethane-looking finish so wasn't used for food prep - and it had an old sink in the middle. This house was actually a mansion (mine isn't - but very similar architecture). If you really want the surface to be for food prep, you'll have to be vigilant about drying up water, they say, because you won't be able to put a heavy duty finish on it. The hybrid finish called Waterlox is supposedly pretty durable and maybe it's food-grade/meant for cutting on? Otherwise, I'd reconsider. Or you could put a polyurethane finish on it but use the sink cut-out wood (oiled for cutting on) as the cutting board and leave it where people will see it and use it? This was a helpful site: |

We have an undermount prep sink in our island, with IKEA beech wood countertops. We sealed it with a few coats of Watco sealer (food safe). The surface gets HARD use in a family with several serious cooks, and it looks perfectly fine. No water damage, no stains, nothing. We do wipe up spills and puddles, of course, but I promise you we're pretty casual about it, and the wood's completely unaffected. Wood, I think, is a lot tougher than a lot of people give it credit for. |

I have a maple butcher block island top with an overmount sink. We would've gone with an undermount sink, but were against a deadline and the overmount was just easier. No issues around the edge of the sink yet, but we've only been here 5 months. We finished it with Waterlox, and have been extremely happy with both its look and performance. Waterlox is supposed to be food safe, but I would not recommend cutting directly on it. It does scratch and ding, so you need to be prepared for a certain amount of patina. Of course, if you are considering butcher block, then you are probably already okay with that. Good luck! |
The biggest concern is that when you reach over to shut off the faucet, you will get some drips onto the counter. You should wipe it up immediately Even if you have granite, honestly you should also wipe it up or the standing water will etch and make the granite dull. The standing water isn't a big problem if the wood has been coated with few coats of waterlox, the wiping up water is more for the silicone seam so it doesn't get mildew and gross.. It helps not to get alot of end grain of the wood exposed such as a round sink.. I rarely have to wipe up water beads on the side unless I make a mess. (had used mine for a while now with a towel near the faucet) |
We have wood around our kitchen sink. It's cherry from Lumber Liquidators and finished around the sink with waterlox. I actually started off with just vegetable oil, but that wasn't enough, the waterlox is amazing. Our home is an 1898 Colonial Revival and it really fits with the period of our home. |
Let's hear it for Waterlox! :~) |
I've used polymerized tung oil on two different BB counters with main sinks in them, one was beech & the one I have now is oak. Both sinks were drop in. I did all 6 sides & the edge of the cutout with 8 coats of oil & haven't had any problems with water staining. With the right finishes, wood has excellent water repelling properties. Where we live you can buy wood vessel sinks & bathtubs. |

If a joke is a simple syllogism, an Aristotelian syllogism, that you can simply go on and you can feel what conclusion is coming, and you can conclude because the premises are given already; if you can conclude logically, as if two plus two is four, this cannot be a joke - because two plus two is four. When somebody is saying "two plus two" you have already known the conclusion: it is going to be four. If a joke is absolutely logical and the conclusion is not absurd, then it is not a joke, it will not shock you into awareness.
The joke takes a very unexpected turn. And yet, when you have listened to the punch line, you suddenly realize that there is a logic in it - not Aristotelian, nonAristotelian. When you have heard the punch line, then you suddenly recognize, yes, everything becomes clear. If a joke is absolutely absurd, then too it will be meaningless, because then the conclusion will not be in continuity with the whole story; then there will be discontinuity and you will not be able to know how to connect them.
The joke has not to be absolutely logical, the joke has not to be absolutely illogical, it has to be somewhere in the middle - very ambiguous, vague, surrounded by mist. You cannot figure out where it is going, and that's why it becomes intriguing. And it takes the turn so suddenly that in a single line it is there in its totality.
Let me tell you one joke:
A Jewish synagogue was collecting money for a new building for the synagogue - the old one was rotten and was falling apart. They were doing everything that can be done to collect more money.
They had sold lottery tickets, and then the lottery was opened and the president of the community declared the third prize: it was a beautiful TV set, and the man who got it was very happy.
Then he declared the second prize - of course, the man whose name was declared was hoping for something like a Cadillac, Impala, Mercedes, something like that. But when he came the president gave him a small box. He immediately opened it - mm? - he was puzzled as to what was there in the box. And there was nothing much: chocolates, cookies. He said, "What is this? You must have forgotten, you must have misplaced something. For the third prize you have given a TV set - and second prize, just cookies? This is nonsense!"
The president said, "You don't understand it: the rabbi's wife herself has prepared it for you."
The man was annoyed. He said, "Screw the rabbi's wife!"
The president said, "That's the first prize."
Now this is a joke. You cannot expect, it is impossible, but once it is there then everything becomes clear. The conclusion makes the whole story clear. But if the conclusion has not been given to you, you will not be able to come to it logically.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to our event 'Water of Life' on Sunday. It was one of our most entertaining events, with lots of laughs and plenty of whisky being consumed. It was also great to see some new faces too – thank you for coming.
The evening kicked off with some history about scotch whisky, including the spelling. Within minutes I had learnt something new! Roger explained how whisky is often spelt without the 'e' in England, Scotland and Wales, and whiskey with the 'e' is more common in Ireland and the United States.
We wanted to make the evening as interactive as possible by encouraging our guests to talk openly about the different tastes that they were getting from each whisky. After a few wee drams, people relaxed and began to contribute.
Once we'd finished tasting the whisky, we sold raffle tickets to win a bottle of Jura 10. We managed to turn a £24 bottle of whisky into £60 for Parkinson's UK. The winners very kindly opened the bottle and passed it around for everyone to have a drink. This pretty much sums up the friendly atmosphere of the evening.
The feedback on the night was positive, with our guests speaking highly of Roger's educational presentation. Not only were we able to offer a taste of some of Scotland's finest, but our guests also went away having learnt something too.
And the best news of all… we raised £350!
Thank you to Ahmad, the manager of The Stoke, who lent us his function room completely free of charge. It was the perfect venue for our event – central and very accommodating.
Thank you to everyone who came and bought drinks and raffle tickets. I hope the hangovers weren't too bad… Also a special thank you to Lauren and Laura who helped with the set up, and again to Lauren for clearing up at the end when we were, shall we say… merry?!
I'd like to finish off by saying a massive thank you to Roger for his hard work in putting together a fantastic presentation. I'm pleased to announce that due to the success of this event, we will be holding another one later this year!

(Updates with closing share price in fourth paragraph.)
Oct. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Noble Corp., the world's third- largest offshore driller based on revenue, said it's unlikely to order any more rigs this year as it works to roll out 14 new vessels by 2015.
Three drillships are expected to be completed this year, followed by five floating vessels and six shallow-water rigs in the next four years, the Geneva-based driller has said.
"We've got our plate full, and I think we'll play these and work on execution," Chief Executive Officer David Williams told analysts and investors today on a third-quarter earnings conference call. "We'll take a look probably sometime next year on what we think the market looks like for future opportunities."
Noble rose 5.3 percent to $33.45 at the close in New York. The shares, which have 31 buy ratings from analysts, 10 holds and 1 sell, have dropped 6.5 percent this year.
The company said it plans to boost its capital spending to $2.7 billion this year, up by about $200 million from a forecast earlier this year, partly because of its new-build program, Dennis Lubojacky, controller at Noble, said on the call.
The drilling contractor is also considering whether to sell some of its jack-up rigs and hopes to decide by the end of the year, Williams has said.
The company reported yesterday earnings rose 57 percent to $135 million, or 53 cents a share, from $86 million, or 34 cents, a year earlier. Excluding a 4-cent tax benefit, the company missed by 3 cents the average of 36 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Transocean Ltd., the world's largest offshore driller, will report earnings on Nov. 2. Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc., the second-largest offshore driller, reported today earnings of $256.9 million, or $1.85 per share, which beat by 38 cents the average of 33 analysts' estimates.

NBC says it's a deal. Conan O'Brien is leaving The Tonight Show, and Jay Leno returns to late-night.
O'Brien isn't leaving empty-handed. The red-haired comic gets thirty-three million dollars and his staff gets twelve million in severance.
Under the agreement, Conan can have his own show on another network as soon as September.
The Tonight Show lost viewers after O'Brien took over from Leno, who was a ratings leader. Then, NBC canceled Leno's show at 10pm/9c due to poor ratings.
NBC wanted to move Leno back to 11:35pm/10:35c for a half-hour and have O'Brien follow 12:05am/11:05c. Conan said no way. Now, the speculation is where he goes next.
