Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc. To Be Acquired By Swander Pace Capital For $4.25 Per Share
AZUSA, Calif. and SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:FACE) ("Physicians Formula" or the "Company") and Swander Pace Capital ("Swander Pace") announced today they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which affiliates of Swander Pace will acquire Physicians Formula. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Swander Pace, through its affiliates, will acquire all outstanding shares of the common stock of Physicians Formula for $4.25 per share in cash, or approximately $65 million. The per share price represents a premium of approximately 15% over Physicians Formula's closing stock price on August 14, 2012 and a 21% premium to the Company's one-month volume-weighted average price of $3.50 per share. The Physicians Formula's Board of Directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of its Special Committee (the "Special Committee") composed solely of independent directors, unanimously approved the merger agreement and resolved to recommend that the Company's stockholders vote to adopt the merger agreement.
Upon close of the merger, Physicians Formula will be privately owned and will continue to be operated by the Company's current management team and employees. Physicians Formula, founded in 1937 by Dr. Frank Crandall, will remain based in Azusa, CA.
"Our Board of Directors, following a thorough analysis by its Special Committee, has determined that this transaction offers the best value for our stockholders," said Ingrid Jackel, Physicians Formula Chairwoman and CEO. "We are pleased that Swander Pace has agreed to purchase our company. The firm has a record of success in acquiring and operating companies in the consumer space, and we believe they will add value to our business as we continue to successfully execute our growth initiatives."
"The acquisition of Physicians Formula reinforces Swander Pace's investment focus on lower middle-market consumer products industry companies," said Mo Stout, a Swander Pace Managing Director. "Physicians Formula is a pioneer in the cosmetics industry, and we are committed to working with its management team on this next stage of growth and innovation for the company."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Asia: Republic of Palau. Presently known from a western fringing reef of Ngemelis Island, in a reef cave at 35 m depth.As an elopomorph, it almost certainly has a leptocephalus larval form, and letptocephali (particularly those of anguilliforms) are known to have long planktonic durations (210 months). Accordingly, the authors believe that Protoanguilla probably has a considerably broader distribution than currently known, even though no leptocephali matching its unique meristic formula (fewer than 90 vertebrae, more than 170 dorsal fin and anal fin rays) have been identified in extensive worldwide larval fish collections. In any case, historically, the Protoanguilla lineage, estimated to have diverged ca 200Ma, must have been much more widely distributed, because the Palau-Kyushu Ridge formed only around 6070 Ma (Ref. 87802).

The Tadawul All Share Index dived by 0.92 per cent to 8,655.01 points on Monday, January 27. SABIC lost 0.88 per cent, falling to SR113. SABIC lost more than four per cent in the last 11 days amid the worries that some emerging markets will head into economic problems in 2014, such as Brazil. Saudia Dairy and Foodstuff Company (SADAFCO) dipped 0.32 per cent to SR79. Earlier in the day, SADAFCO said that it decided on January 26 to place a SAR75 million Murabaha deposit with United Gulf Bank in Bahrain (a related party) to maximize the return on its excess cash generated from its operational activities. "The deposit will be placed on January 27, 2014, and mature on March 25, 2014, at a return of three per cent per annum," says SADAFCO. The Murabaha deposit will be placed on the agenda of the next Annual General Assembly meeting for review, to be determined and announced at a later date. Under the Islamic finance scheme Murabaha, a bank buys goods or property for the client and re-sells it to them at a higher price over an agreed period of time, in order to avoid interest or 'riba', which is forbidden under Shar'iah.

TMH Administration: Memorial Hospital has improved
Saturday, March 14, 2009
To the editor:
It was disappointing to pick up the Thursday edition of the Craig Daily Press to find the letter from Joanne Lighthizer about the "lack of quality and unpleasant service" that she experienced at The Memorial Hospital. It has been a year since Ms. Lighthizer was a patient at TMH. A whole lot has changed in a year, and we are awfully proud of the quality care that our staff provides.
Several months ago, we acknowledged our shortcomings in a very public manner - we promised our community that we would do better. We - as a team of more than 180 employees - promised a higher level of accountability, commitment, professionalism and service. It's working. Have you been to TMH lately? Have you observed the commitment of our staff? Have you walked through the halls of your hospital to feel the difference? If not, we encourage you to do so. I don't think you'll experience the negativity that you read about in the opinion pages.
We are proud of the staff at TMH. We are proud of their commitment to our organization, their commitment to Moffat County and their commitment to providing health care in a rural area. We are disappointed that more than 180 employees are lumped into the category of "staff" and chastised for the effort that they put into providing care to the people who need it most.
We are working diligently to be perfect, and we'll settle for excellence when we get there. We commit ourselves to making each day better than the last, and we won't stop until every single patient experience is exceptional, every single time. We aren't perfect and we don't think that we ever will be, but we won't stop trying. We appreciate all of those in our community who support our mission and who continue to choose The Memorial Hospital because of the people who work here. But most of all, we appreciate our employees who give 150 percent every day and who do whatever it takes to get the job done so that others will leave our facility better than when they came. Thank you all for persevering.
TMH Administration
George Rohrich, chief executive officer
Robert Lindberg, chief clinical officer
Barry Bergman, chief financial officer
Beka Warren, chief quality officer

I read Ms. Lighthizer's article - I may have missed it but she did not say when she was last in the hospital. By Mr. Rohrich and the other administrative staff stating "it has been a year since she has been in" - would this be a breach of HIPPA??? I did not know you could even acknowledge that someone has been a patient without their written consent????? Maybe someone needs to address this!!!
stuning 5 years, 10 months ago
Posts like this are a shining example of the extremes to which the anti-TMH tirade has reached. Ms. Lighthizer's own letter disclosed her status as a patient in a very public way to the entire community. She deserves no expectation of privacy after making such a public confirmation of her status. The TMH chief officers did not disclose any protected information by simply confirming what she already disclosed in her letter - that she was indeed a patient at TMH. It seems to me that many must spend their days and nights actively looking for reasons to be upset with TMH.
The Daily Press is, in my opinion, not the forum to continue these discussions. For every person who feels that their level of service was sub-par, another letter could be written that praises excellent performance. To what end does the community keep writing these letters and posting these alternatingly scathing and positive comments?
The bottom line is that such comments are counter-productive - regardless of whether one is happy or unhappy with the performance of the TMH staff during a particular visit. Even if all the negative comments resulted in a compelte personnel change at TMH, filling those positions would be next to impossible - especially if the incoming candidates see the ridiculous and outrageous comments made by many in the community. We should, as a community, be careful what we wish for. Recruiting qualified people to Craig, whether physicians, nurses, or adminsitrative officers, is not an easy task. Driving away the current TMH officers most decidedly will not result in the entire community being happy with their individual experiences.
I have reached exhaustion with such rants. While no one, most of a TMH's officers, believe that they are perfect (either as inidivduals or as an organization), there is absolutely nothing to be gained by airing these grievances so publically every time one is unhappy with a level of service. What I would rather see is the letter that indicates one has sought out an officer at TMH to complain about service and has been ignored, or has received an unsatisfactory result. I believe that the officers at TMH are dedicated to resolving complaints, such as Ms. Lighthizer's, when given the chance to do so through proper channels and not through the print media. None of us would fair very well if each of our professional shortcomings was aired in the public square on a twice-daily basis - which is what this lynching of TMH has become.
Marvin 5 years, 10 months ago
i FEEL AS THOUGH THE COMMENT ABOVE STATING THAT , "It seems to me that many must spend their days and nights actively looking for reasons to be upset with TMH." IS A LOAD OF BULL! IT SEEMS AS YOU'RE IMPLYING THAT THESE EXPERIENCES ARE FABRICATED, AND LET ME SAY THAT IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH. AND IT IS IN POOR TASTE TO DOWNPLAY UPSETTING PERSON EXPERIENCES THAT ARE FAR TOO COMMON IN THIS COMMUNITIE. AND LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE, IF HOSPITAL CARE WAS AS PEACHY AND FANTASTIC AS SOME CLAIM IT TO BE, THEN WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE STILL OPTING OUT AND DRIVING THE DISTANCE TO STEAMBOAT SPRINGS HOSPITAL? POEPLE HAVE BEEN SO BURNED BY THE TREATMENT HERE THAT THEY ARE WRITING LETTERS TO THE MEDIA. SHAME ON YOU STUNING, FOR CHASTISING MRS. LIGHTHIZER FOR GOING TO THE PAPER. ALL THAT SHE DID WAS SHINE SOME WELL NEEDED LIGHT ON THIS ISSUE. AND NOW, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT, AND THAT IS THE MOST POSSATIVE THING YOU CAN DO, AND WITH COMUNICATION, COMES UNDERSTANDING, ANDFROM THAT, I HAVE HOPES THAT WE CAN USHER IN CHANGE. BUT IF WE SILENCE OUR OPINIONS, EXPERIENCES, AND EXPECTATIONS, WE ARE CENSORING OUR ABILITY TO HAVE OPEN COMUNICATION IN WHAT EVER FORUM WE SEE FIT. I APLAUD HER CHIOCE IN WRITING HER LETTER, AND BEING BRAVE ENOUGHT TO PUT HERSELF OUT THERE AS A SPOAKPERSON FOR HOSPITAL REFORM. PUTTING THE BLAME ON THE VITIM IS HEARTLESS AND INSENSITIVE. WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING INSTEAD, IS BEING OPEN WITH WHAT IS WRONG, AND WENT WRONG, AND EMPOWERING POEPLE AND PATIENTS TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST NEGLECFUL AND SUB-PAR TREATMENT WHEN IT HAPPENS---AND NOT TO GO HOME THINKING THAT YOU CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE A VOICE, AND WE ARE EMPOWERED!
freeman 5 years, 10 months ago
Marvin 5 years, 10 months ago
IF WE ALL AS A COMMUNITY TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THIS DISCUSSION THAT MRS. Lighthizer's LETTER INITIATED, I HOPE IT IS THAT WITH HONESTY COMES CHANGE. AND SAYING NOTHING IS DOING NOTHING. I'M AM NOT AT ALL IMPLYING THAT THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT DESIRE TO CHANGE, OR IMPROVE, BUT IT IS EASIER TO SAY THAN DO. I WANT TO SOME DAY FEEL SAFE AND SECURE WITH THE DECISION MAKING & PROPER EXICUTION OF TREATMENT. I WANT TO, AS A PARENT, FEEL SECURITIE IN KNOWING THAT IF MY MOST PRECIOUS CHILD, WAS IN NEED OF MINOR, OR MAJOR MEDICAL HELP, THAT I COULD RUSH HIM IN AND KNOW THAT HE IS BEING GIVEN TOP KNOTCH CARE, BY WELL EDUCATED, COMPASSIONATE CARE TAKERS. UNFORTUNENTLY MY FEAR IS DRIVEN BY MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AT THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. AND WHEN I REFER TO STAFF, IT IS INCLUDING THE WHOLE HOSPITAL, BECAUSE WHEN ONE PERSON MAKES A MISTAKE, IT IS ALSO A FALURE OF THOSE IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND, TO HIRE PROPERLY TRAINED EMPLOYEES, & REPRIMAND, AND FIRE THOSE THAT VIOLATE POLICY AND PROCEDURE. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE POOR PATIENT CAR IS NOT AN ISOLATE INCIDENT, AND THAT IT WAS, IS, OR MAY BE, AND ONGOING PROBLEM. AND SADLY ONLY TIME WILL TELL, ( NOT THE HOSPITAL HEADS, BECAUSE NO ONE IS STEPPING UP TO TAKE RESPOSIBILITE FOR THE LAX MANAGMENT OF STAFF!) .
CindyLou 5 years, 10 months ago
I don't believe any discussion is counter productive, but I do agree that some seem more like rants than discussions. But I wonder why they are ranting? There are always going to be people who don't like the service no matter where they are treated I believe the staff is probably doing the best they can with what they have to work with, and I am not talking about the building. I have also received great care from the staff each time I go in, but there is more to great service than just getting adequate care. I have heard a lot of discussion on this forum regarding the leadership at the hospital. To my knowledge the current leadership has been at the hospital for three or more years now. I would think that that is sufficient amount of time to get the ship turned in the right direction, but that is not what I am reading on the forum or what I am hearing from friends and family. Our hospital is like the communities dirty little secret. On the outside we are all cheering them on, but behind the scenes we are asking our selves "what the hell is going on over there?" To qoute a movie line "attitude reflects leadership." When staff are undervalued by leadership, unappreciated by leadership, and disregarded by leadership, it comes out in the service they provide. As a small business owner, everyone matters or we have to close the doors because I can't just call someone else to come pick up the slack. I often hear how the hospital leadership does not view employees this way. I also hear Mr. More publicly speak on another post about how their is teamwork, camaraderie, etc at the hospital, but when I talk with my friends and neighbors who work there, that is not what they say to me.
CindyLou 5 years, 10 months ago
Mostly what I am hearing is that employees are frustrated with the way things are run and that that frustration can be seen at times by the community, the rest of the time the community is unaware of what takes place at the hospital.
I agree with you that the paper is the best place for this type of discussion to take place, but the paper won't ever be able to present it in a fair and balanced approach. Take for example the fact that the paper re-printed the same letter by a person who was pleased with the hospital's services at the same time that a letter was printed that show a person's displeasure. Why did they run the same letter twice? I have never seen a paper run a point-counter-point debate when presenting public opinion, unless they were trying to persuade the masses of something.
My hope is that this community builds a beautiful hospital and that the service we receive there will match the beauty of the building. But remember, the Titanic was beautiful and had the best service and accommodations available, and we know where they sailed that ship don't we? I don't think the captain is going to go down with this ship though, I would suspect he will be the first one in the life boat when it's time abandon the ship.
bjacobson 5 years, 10 months ago
Just to clarify. The letter that CindyLou referenced that was published twice was printed the second time (Saturday) at the request of the family due to the omission of a few family members when it was published the first time(Friday).

I don't think a response was needed on the part of the CDP.
CindyLou 5 years, 10 months ago
Does that realy stand for AlcoholicsAnonymous? He should explain why he put it in twice. Doesn't seem very logical but I guess it's a reason. I see a post has been repressed. What didn't set right with the CDP that they had to remove it? Post it again so the readers can decide if it has any value.

Cindy and Tax - what suzieq posted had absolutely NO business on this forum. It was gossip not fact. The forum is not the place for baseless accusations.
STANHATHHORN 5 years, 10 months ago
It all starts at the top. To categorize all TMH employees as uncaring or incompetent is grossly unfair. As in any service business, the tone and expectations for quality begin with management. Most employees will endeavor to follow a mandate for perfection, and most employees will feel very useful when they achieve that goal. If management sets goals based only on monetary return, then employees will likely lose that pride of accomplishment. Bottom line, if you can't be successful by being the best at what you do, then there is little hope for any other approach.
TMH and the CDP are both expected to be community leaders. They have no local competition, and therefore should be able to set the standard for perfection. Instead, this forum finds them both playing defense! "They doth protest too much"!
The campaign slogan of last year may apply here, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but -----".
Marvin 5 years, 10 months ago
unfortunently i know many poeple who feel it to be more of a risk to go to the craig hospital rather than steamboat springs hospital. And it is unfortunate that myself and others feel the risk of travel is worth it to get quality care. i know that when we get into hayden, if you call for an abulance they will take you to steamboat.. And yes, i realize that the staff has changed since my experience, but I am curious if those in 'command' that let that level of patient care be exceptable, are still in charge. because afterall, you can change the staff all you want, but If no one is held accountable when mistakes are made, then boundries and guidelines are more easily crossed. My final point is, that confidence in the memorial hospital will be restored when the care administered there has improved, and people can walk out of there satisfied with their treatment, and not writing letters to the editor. this conversation, no matter the disagreements, is a valuable tool to usher in change, and now we are talking about this issue, and thats a great stepping stone for the hospital to improve. Much thanks for the reply davidmoore, but i'll believe the hospital is fine and dandy when I see it first hand, which I hope I dont have to anytime soon :)

craiggirl....so where is the appropriate forum for the accusations made? They were serious and for the life of me I can't come up with a reason why someone would make up that stuff.
I was going to post here too about how much I love the cafeteria at the sbs hospital. I didn't realize they shut the hot lunch down here in craig (if it's true). If I'm shopping in SBS and it's lunchtime I generally will run up to the hospital and eat there.
I've had good and bad experiences at both places so the way I see it, it's all about the food.

Taxslave and the others who read the comment that was deleted, You wrote " for the life of me I cant' come up with a reason why someone would make up that stuff" you have to be kidding!!! I have dealt with and heard numerous people complain about management and yes even telling out right lies. This could have came from an unhappy employee, a disgrunteled current or former employee or simply someone that does not like senior management at TMH. You ask where the appropriate forum for the accusations should be, well if those accusations were true they should have been reported to the HR department of the hospital. By posting these accusations without any proof it is really just gossip. Just my opinion but I believe if you want to ruin ones reputation dont do it by gossip and false accusations do it by facts TMH is getting a new facility regardless of the moaning that is done on this forum. I for one am very happy and have had experiences at both TMH and YVMC and my first choice is TMH. Have a great day.
diva 5 years, 10 months ago
I have used TMH, I had several care givers who were absolutely the best and I did have one who was the worst of anywhere I had been. I did address the issue at the time. TMH administration needs to remember that if it wished to increase their care in the community, they should have invited a disgruntled patient to come back and experience them again, instead of insulting her.
Also, although the patient did express she had been a patient, the hospital BY FEDERAL LAW cannot acknowlege that without her direct consent. What the hospital did by that was actually illegal and they can be fined by that. If I were considering a hospital to use, I would certainly think twice about using TMH, if I am unhappy and state that will the hospital insult me also????
The hospital should have said "I am sorry she had such a bad experience, please come see me I would love to discuss that issue with you and see how we can improve, please try us again and see the change.
stuning 5 years, 10 months ago
Diva, with all due respect, are you actually upset with TMH for responding to the letter? Should unhappy people be allowed a voice in this forum while TMH's response is censored? The TMH response to the letter written about them was permissible pursuant to the following provision in the HIPAA: (which I would assume few in this forum have ever read compeltely - it's quite lengthy and complex)
"...the covered entity may use or disclose the protected health information if it: ... (iii) Reasonably infers from the circumstances, based the exercise of professional judgment, that the individual does not object to the disclosure."
I think we can all "infer from the circumstances" that this individual "did not object" to the release of her status as a patient as evidenced by her decision to publish that fact in a daily newspaper. I find it suprising that anyone can, with a straight face, try to make an argument that dissatisfied persons should be able to tell their side of a story (any story) without response from the accused organization or individual. This is what I mean by "looking for reasons to be upset with TMH." While I'm not a raving fan of TMH myself, per se, I do, however, think that it's completely unfair that people get upset when the hospital responds in print when when challenged openly in print, as they were in this letter. If one doesn't want a public response, they should refrain from writing a public letter.

BSHS softball will try to end 4-game skid on Tues.
The Bonner Springs softball team lost its fourth in a row in a sweep at Lansing on Tuesday.
After Bre Tendick provided what appeared to be a promising start with a leadoff home run in the first game — her second this season — the Lions shut down Bonner Springs' batters the rest of the day. From there, Lansing cruised to 16-1 and 10-0 victories.
Coach Denise Chowning said she was able to use some players who, up to that point, had limited-to-no varsity experience.
Freshman Hannah Fehlafer came into the second game to pitch, and held Lansing to just one run in her brief appearance on the mound.
In the first game, much of the Lions offense came from a 12-run first inning to effectively put the game away from the onset.
In the loss, Tendick provided the Braves' only two hits. Similarly, Bonner Springs was held to just two hits in its second outing, as Samantha Ricci-Weller and Cassady Holloway each reached base.
Bonner Springs' four-game skid puts the team at 6-4 on the season with a pair of home double-headers against fellow Kaw Valley League contenders, Mill Valley and Basehor-Linwood, on deck next week. The Braves will look to turn things around when they host a doubleheader against the Jaguars starting at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

I bid you welcome to my humble studio. I am Sketch Muse -just Muse- and I represent the artist Eizoryu. Here you shall find illustrations done simply for ponies.
All are welcome here. If you do not have a pony, then request of me to make you one. I only ask you for a reference to go by.
Thank you for your patience. It looks like everything is spot-on now, so I shall declare it open! ~Muse
Righto. Muse uses Italics, I (Eizo) do not.
A Bit About Me:
*22 year old mother-to-be.
*Fairly laid back gal
*Not a "Brony" or "Pegasister" or what-have-you. Just a fan.
*Drawing ponies is a fun pastime of mine; got me back into drawing for fun again
A Bit About Muse:
*She's not a ponysona or fancharacter, she just happens to make a badass looking pony.
*She's the ponyfication of the personification of my Wacom tablet and Papermate Clearpoints with synthetic fiber hair soaked in paint. That's why her legs are clear and her eyes glow.

"This is a great print and the dark colors I chose (majestic + rich red) came out beautifully together. The text is clean and clear, the textured paper gives it a nice feel, and the size is perfect. It was easy to customize and came quickly."
"ordered these because we needed have save the dates out yesterday and didn't have time to wait for a picture. yes, there are cuter, trendier save the dates but these were printed perfectly, delivered quickly, and are great quality. super excited. wouldn't change a thing!"
"I love the simplistic design of the card. I chose to write a bit about our love story on the back and had a professional proof done. The Wedding Paper Divas teams was great. Morgan did a great job of proofing the cards and suggesting that we keep all text lowercase to match the design. So far I've shown my family and bridal party and they love the paper, design, and think they're modern and cute."
"I ordered this and am so happy with how they turned out I changed the date from words to numbers and the proof was sent within a day or two Both my fiancé and I are amazed with the quality and so are our family and friends Can't wait to order my invitation suite Delivery international is the fastest I have ever had a great service"
"I personalized my STD's to include my wedding website information. For this I had to use the custom service. Customer Service was very helpful in understanding my questions. The turnaround time from my custom request was quick. These are beautiful in color however the paper quality could be better."

When one has done something long enough (and, for the sake of this particular argument, let's say living can be reasonably counted among them) there's a tendency to take the long view--we have some notion of where we've been as well as how things are now. Recent complaints about the state of Apple and photography have compelled me to take a journey down the historical highway in the hope of gaining some perspective on just where we stand in regard to taking and making images with our cameras.
If you've lived through the last couple iterations of OS X and iOS, you've probably had the opportunity to develop a special love/hate relationship with iCloud. Apple's cloud service suite is made up of many different parts and systems, and while it's great when it works, it also has a history of being prone to hard-to-diagnose outages and, for developers, obscure error messages.
Just a few years after a big leadership transition, Apple announced not only a brand new operating system but said they would be offering a public beta to interested customers. Sound familiar? The year was 2000 and the OS in question was the very first version of OS X. Now, 14 years later, Apple's once again inviting users to come and check out the Mac's latest and greatest operating system before its impending release.
At Apple's recent Worldwide Developers Conference, the company announced--among a great many other things--HomeKit, a suite of tools for controlling such devices in your home as thermostats, furnaces and air conditioners, smart appliances, lights, cameras, garage-door openers, and security systems. Apple will provide a platform that these devices will be asked to conform to. Do so, and you can control them all from your iOS device.
With all signs pointing to a Google purchase of Twitch, the company behind Justin.tv has shut down the live video service.
The FCC called out Verizon for its plans to throttle customers with unlimited data plans who use the most data, so the carrier responded.
After a successful Kickstarter run, Wasteland 2 is almost ready for release
Businesses who don't know how to manage their social media presence should remember that the Internet can be vicious.
Apple's own Network Utility is pretty handy for basic network troubleshooting, but if you need to go above and beyond what it offers, Daniel Diener's $20 Network Radar (Mac App Store link) is a powerful step up.
The new mobile app for Asana's popular task management service lets iPhone and iPad users run their collaborative undertakings on the go.
Last week, Apple updated its Retina MacBook Pro line, and while the new models are identical on the outside to their 13- and 15-inch predecessors, released late last year, the "Mid 2014" models feature processors that are just a little bit faster. As modest as these internal improvements are, they do provide more performance bang for the buck.
Contexts 1.4 supplements--and can even replace--OS X's window management tools, and it does so in a way that is legitimately useful, especially if you rely on keyboard shortcuts to navigate your Mac.
The iPad has become an incredible tool for musicians who wish to quickly and confidently record and produce live music on their tablet. Recently, I had the opportunity to produce and record a session for Ella Joy Meir, using just my iPad, software, and recording accessories. Last week, I covered when you might want to use an iPad and what you need to get started; now, let's talk about the actual recording and post-production process.

If I said in this column that I saw a mountain lion out my office window, or a wolf, it would be something very exciting for those readers who believe me. If there are any of my readers left who believe me…I should never have written that story about seeing a flying saucer. But truthfully, I have seen several. Mom threw them at Dad when I was young!
On the last day of December I was looking out my window at a variety of birds, and I saw a mouse run up the hickory tree only about fifteen feet away. Only, it wasn't a mouse, it was a little tiny bird, one I had never seen before.

Hamas signals Gaza truce; Israel debates goals
Israeli leaders must have one eye on the US inauguration calendar.
Israel has been at it in Gaza for 18 days now. They have destroyed Hamas government buildings, killed more than 900 people, and forced the militant group's leaders into hiding. But have they triumphed?
One thing is for sure – if there is more that Israel wants to do, the window is quickly closing for them to operate unchecked in Gaza. When Barack Obama becomes president on Jan. 20, and is finally free to speak his mind, Israel will undoubtedly face new pressures.
Peace summit?
Qatar, which has made a name for itself lately as a regional peace broker , wants a summit on Friday. It's inviting all 22 Arab League nations. Syria and Lebanon are on board. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is ready, too. But Egypt and Saudi Arabia aren't. They've got their own plans.

Field of Cloth of Gold
Field of Cloth of Gold
Setting for meetings between Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France in June 1520, near Calais, France. Splendid temporary palaces were erected for each king, and jousts and other entertainments were held. The splendor of the meetings vastly impressed contemporaries, but the political results were negligible. In July Henry met Emperor Charles V, Francis's rival, near Calais, and they agreed to make no new alliances with France for two years.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
How this product came into my life: I have been using Dawn Direct Foam for a few months, but when the time came to buy a refill, I hesitated due to the price. Instead I took advantage of a sale on Palmolive Spring Sensations dish soap, which normally goes for $2.99. With the sale and a coupon, I took the scent Wild Berry Blossom home for 75 cents. I chose this scent because it seemed the mildest of the Spring Sensations line. Product Details: Purpose: Palmolive Spring Sensations is a concentrated dish detergent designed to remove grease from dishes, without removing moisture from hands. Appearance: Spring Sensations come in a 25 ounce bottle, which appears bigger than other dish soaps. There are 5 scents, which include Wild Berry Blossom in a red detergent, Crisp Cucumber Melon in pink, Zesty Lemon in yellow, Fresh Green Apple in Green, and Lavender and Ylang Ylang in purple. The colored detergent is in a clear bottle so the amount left is visible. Each scent as a picture of the scent on the bottle. For example, Wild Berry Blossom has blackberries, raspberries, blue berries, and strawberries pictured on the front of the bottle. Bottles have a pop up white capped nozzle to dispense soap from. About Palmolive: Palmolive is part of the Colgate line. Information about products is available at: www.palmolive.com or by calling 1-800-338-8388. Experience: Bottle and Amount: I have used about 1/5th of this product thus far. Each time I ran hot water into the sink adding about a teaspoon of this detergent. I also placed a few drops on the sponge. The soap did not hold up and more needed to be added a couple times throughout the washing of my sink full of dishes. Adding more was no easy task as the bottle is bigger than others I am use to and easily slipped out of my hand and into the sink. Feel of Soap and Length of Time to Clean: The soap felt greasy on contact with my dishes and my hands. The greasiness took sometime to go away. While at the end of cleaning none of my dishes nor my hands felt greasy, I found that washing with this detergent made doing a sink of dishes take twice as long. My hands felt softer right after use, but dried out within a half hour of finishing the dishes. Dish Results: The dishes were clean and shiny. My glasses were streak free. The dishes were infact so clean that running my finger on them left a squeaky sound. The greasy soap feeling was gone and all food grease had been removed from the dishes. The only problem is the dishes continued to smell like Wild Berry Blossoms, despite giving them two thorough rinses. Recommendation: I do not recommend Wild Berry Blossom from the Spring Sensation line of Palmolive dish soap. Perhaps the other scents are milder, but I did not care for my dishes smelling like fruit. One of the reasons I wash my dishes is to remove odor, not add it. Even after rinsing my glass several times, my drinking water came with the scent of this fruity detergent. I found the end results with this product were great in having shiny, grease-free, streak-free dishes. However, the process seemed to take twice as long as my dish washing with Dawn Foam and the Palmolive detergent dried out my hands. I have returned to using Dawn Direct Foam and have kept my Wild Berry Blossom Spring Sensation to have Sensational bubble baths instead. Compare to Dawn Direct Foam

Terry Pierce - New year, new start for Championship strugglers
Published: 04 Jan 2011 - 09:15:03
The festive season is always cited as a key period of the campaign, a make-or-break run of fixtures that can turn a club's fortunes around. But failing to make the most of the hectic schedule and passing up the opportunity to gain some momentum can be costly, as three struggling Championship managers found out over the last week.
Brian Laws left Burnley on Wednesday afternoon despite sitting just outside the play-off picture and just a couple of hours later Lancashire rivals Preston North End had also decided a change at the top was needed, with Darren Ferguson given his marching orders. And, following Saturday's heavy defeat to London rivals Millwall, George Burley was relieved of his duties at Crystal Palace.
Although it's never nice to see managers fail, it's hard to argue against the decisions made by the three clubs. Ferguson had to guide Preston through frugal times but leaves North End rooted to the foot of the Championship table and staring down the barrel of relegation.
He was finally sacked exactly one year after his predecessor, Alan Irvine, was asked to leave the club with his side sat in a relatively lofty 16th, and it now looks increasingly likely even the safety of 21st may be beyond their reach. The Lilywhites are out of form, with crowds plummeting and the financial picture still looking grim.
Couple that with the immediate termination of six loan deals, including Josh King and Ritchie De Laet from Manchester United and Stoke's Micheal Tonge, and the departure of fans favourite Jon Parkin, who is set to join Cardiff, and the feeling among fans is understandably one of resignation.
David Unsworth has been named caretaker and has a real shot at landing the job on a more permanent basis, with very little money about to attract a more experienced name or finance a move for a manager already in work. And with the belt-tightening set to continue, relegation seems inevitable, and a massive summer rebuild is in order.
Down the road, at Turf Moor, Laws can consider himself slightly more unfortunate to receive his p45 but the Burnley board made the wrong decision appointing him in the first place. Laws' record at Sheffield Wednesday wasn't great, and his move to then Premier League Burnley left many fans and pundits scratching their heads.
The appointment stunk of acceptability and the cheap option, but the Clarets' board hid behind an apparent complicated algorithm that suggested Laws had a fantastic points-per-pound record. This season he had the budget to compete right at the top of the Championship but, after a promising start, his side had faded and had a wretched record away from home.
Clarets' fans will still feel they can challenge for an immediate return to the top fight if a swift and positive appointment is made and the top job at Turf Moor should be an attractive position for the usual names, with Phil Brown and Paul Jewell linked immediately. It would seem one of those two is a shoe-in, but don't dismiss the possibility of a more left-field appointment - possibly an impressive, sought-after young boss like Paul Tidsdale or Eddie Howe.
Former Scotland boss George Burley had only been in charge at Selhurst Park since the summer, but with Crystal Palace facing yet another relegation battle, he's been on borrowed time from day one.
Off the pitch the Eagles are in their best shape for a long time, with the CPFC 2010 consortium led by Steve Parish and Martin Long saving the club during the close season and hoping to push towards mid-table comfort this campaign. But, following the 3-0 reverse at the New Den, Palace languish just one place off the bottom.
Relegation could undo so much of the hard work put in by Long, Parish and everyone else connected to the club so it came as little surprise that they dispensed with Burley's services. Chris Hughton and Palace legend Steve Coppell are the favourites in the early betting and either would seem to be a popular replacement among the club's long-suffering support but, again, a quick appointment is key.
It makes far more sense to change manager at the beginning of the winter window, but only if replacements are found quickly. So time is of the essence, at least for Palace and Burnley, who have realistic hopes of significantly improving under the guidance of their new bosses.

Attempts to reimpose Section 377 and Mumbai cops' excess both show the dangers of archaic laws
In Mumbai you can now be arrested for playing cards in your club. You can be arrested for making liqueur chocolates to give friends. You can be arrested for being in a place where alcohol is served and you don't have a permit, even if you are a strict teetotaller. You can be arrested for being on a crowded dance floor. And you can even be arrested for having a private party at home.
All these have apparently happened in the current 'morality' drive by a section of Mumbai's police. And in all these circums-tances where the excesses are so obvious that the courts intervene (as with the senior citizens charged for playing bridge and rummy at Andheri Gymkhana) or the police promise an investigation (as with Ronit Kanuga who was told by the police that he couldn't have a private party beyond 12 pm), one response from the authorities is to pretend these are aberrations and that the laws being invoked may be ill-designed and archaic, but are hardly ever used.
But the relentless way in which assistant commissioner Vasant Dhoble has carried on his crusade, constantly finding new ways to charge people (for example, the clause in the discotheque licence which says that only 10 couples are permitted on a dance floor), shows that bad laws are always a problem. They can always be used to harass innocent citizens, and to create a climate of fear and repression that is antithetical to how a modern, independent society should function. You never know when you could commit an offence that you never knew - or imagined - could exist.
For one section of society, though, this comes as deja vu. What people as a whole in Mumbai are experiencing is similar to what life was always like for India's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community - until, three years back this week, in the Naz India case the Delhi high court decreed that Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which was used to criminalise them, no longer applied to consenting adults.
It was a rare example of the courts cutting through the thicket of archaic laws we have acquired from the British and accrued to ever since then. It is a job that could have been done by Parliament, if it could turn its attention from cartoon controversies and political procrastinations. But since this seems impossible, it was left to judges like A P Shah and S Muralidhar, who wrote the Naz India verdict, to stand up for the rights of individuals.
As with the case of liquor permits, it was argued by opponents of change that the law was hardly ever applied wrongly, but only in cases like rape or child abuse where there was a clear crime. But the reality is that, as with Dhoble's legal discoveries, the very existence of the law casts a corrupting shadow. Because you are playing cards, you are automatically assumed to be gambling ille-gally - just as because you were gay you were automatically assumed to be a child molester or rapist. If you were not charged, you were always afraid you might be.
And this was not so because of some theoretical legal issue, but because of the very practical fact that such a corrupt law allowed for very lucrative corruption. For many years in Mumbai, a few policemen in collusion with criminals ran what was called the "Matunga racket''. This was a well thought out system where gay men were lured through the internet to a place near the base of these policemen in the Matunga locality where they would be stopped and charged with arrest for being gay. Since they were usually careful only to lure gay men who were obviously closeted and afraid of exposure, this nearly always resulted in excellent pay-offs.
For three years now since the Naz decision there has been no report of such blackmailing. When you know for sure the law doesn't make you a possible criminal, you are no longer afraid. But there is something very like the Matunga racket about the fear being created over 'morality' in Mumbai. In Kanuga's case the police allegedly extorted money from his family, and the chances are that there are many cases of bars or clubs paying money to ensure that a morality cop citing archaic laws doesn't land up on their doorstep. The people asking for the money may just be criminal opportunists, but as long as the law exists the fear and compulsion to pay will remain.
For the LGBT community the law may have changed, but they can hardly relax. Because the law has been challenged in the Supreme Court and in hearings that took place earlier this year, all the same arguments were made about how the Naz verdict was an unnecessary tampering with a law that was hardly used and how society was somehow menaced by what LGBT people might do consensually and only affecting themselves.
Such arguments should not be countenanced. In this one case, the Delhi high court has cut through archaic and actively harmful laws. The last thing that should happen now is for the Supreme Court to reimpose them and hand back the power to abuse the law to those who, as Mumbai's mockery of a mora-lity crusade shows, will always, ultimately, do just that.
