UPS Anticipates European Commission To Prohibit Acquisition Of TNT Express
United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE: UPS) announced today the European Commission (EC) has informed UPS and TNT Express that it is working on a decision to prohibit the proposed acquisition of TNT Express (NYSE Euronext: TNTE).
UPS submitted an initial remedies proposal on Nov. 29, 2012 and subsequently revised the proposal twice. UPS began the competitive review process with the EC in March 2012.
Scott Davis, UPS Chairman and CEO said, "We are extremely disappointed with the EC's position. We proposed significant and tangible remedies designed to address the EC's concerns with the transaction. The combined company would have been transformative for the logistics industry, bringing meaningful benefits to consumers and customers around the world, while supporting growth in Europe in particular."
Upon prohibition by the EC, the Offer Condition relating to EU Competition Clearance will not be fulfilled and UPS will pay TNT a termination fee in the amount of EUR 200 million and will withdraw the Offer.
Further announcements will be made once the European Commission has issued its formal decision. The decision is expected to be adopted formally in the coming weeks. "I would like to thank TNT Express for their shared vision of the value we would have created for our customers, shareholders, and employees, and for the significant efforts they made over the past year." "Looking ahead, our company focus will be on the continued execution of our growth strategy. While we viewed the acquisition as a compelling growth platform, our financial strength allows UPS to capture future opportunities." UPS (NYSE:UPS) is a global leader in logistics, offering a broad range of solutions including the transportation of packages and freight; the facilitation of international trade, and the deployment of advanced technology to more efficiently manage the world of business. Headquartered in Atlanta, UPS serves more than 220 countries and territories worldwide. The company can be found on the Web at UPS.com and its corporate blog can be found at blog.ups.com.

Via Verdi Cucina Rustica Lends Italian Charm to the Upper Eastside
Outfitted in black suits without ties, Fabrizio Carro and Cristiano Vezzoli dart from table to table to inquire about their patrons' meals and to extol the virtues of various regional Italian dishes. As they maneuver between the restaurant's interior and the terrace, their tousled black curls and matching facial scruff render them virtually indistinguishable. billwisserphoto.com Tortelli filled with Fontina and Taleggio cheese in a truffle parmesan sauce.
It's Saturday night, and the canopied exterior of Via Verdi Cucina Rustica is full. In the unadorned, candlelit space, elderly couples, 40-somethings with small children, and pretty young things appear at ease. They might as well be lounging in a friend's backyard. When either Fabrizio or Cristiano approaches their table with a cheery "buona sera," they sit up straighter and respond enthusiastically.
Fabrizio's twin brother, Nicola, is behind the scenes helming the kitchen. Clad in an apron and toque, the third partner pops out once during the night and then quickly vanishes. Both Carro boys are trained chefs, but when it came time to open their own place, Fabrizio decided he was better-suited for the front of the house.
"It's important to be able to communicate our passion to customers," he says after comparing the 3-month-old restaurant to an infant.
Like a newborn, it's the number one priority, he says. Thus, on any given night at Via Verdi, all three partners are present. It's no easy feat considering the 38-year-old twins maintain executive chef status at Quattro, a Northern Italian restaurant on Lincoln Road.
Indeed, it was that opportunity at Quattro that propelled them to leave their hometown of Alessandria, a city in Italy's Piedmont region, and immigrate to America. The restaurant's developer owned a vineyard nearby, and in 2005 he persuaded the Carros to take their extensive knowledge of the area's cuisine to South Beach.

Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic "dominated" the first half of the 2008 slams (2 titles, 1 other final, 4th round combined), while Venus Williams and Serena Wiliiams "dominated" the second half of the slams (2 titles, 1 other final, Quarter combined). So the question is: which pair will win more slam titles in 2009? Will Maria and Ana regain their form and/or health, or will Venus and Serena continue their winning ways?

Not much of a result for me
I love the hair building fibers,but I was a little disappointed in the fat hair product.
I have fine thin hair,but this didn`t really help much. I didn`t see any difference to speak of. Probably won`t order it again.
November 7, 2014
Excellent thickener
I have only used twice, since I just received this recently. However, I am very pleased with the results since I have very thin, limp hair. I find I don not have to use much hair spray after styling.
September 27, 2014
Works very well
This product works very well, be careful not to put to much. It gives volume and bounce to my thin hair. I use the toppik shampoo. Once in a while its good to change shampoos so the hair does not get saturated with the same product ( bad hair day ) . My only negative comment is about the container, it s easy to squeeze to much of it out...wasting some of it.
September 7, 2014
Works if applied correctly
Like most with thinning hair, I've tried many "hair thickening" products. I didn't have high expectations for this. However, I have found that if I do the following, it gives my hair overall texture, strength and a perceived thickness:
Towel dry my hair, wait 5-10 minutes after towel drying; place smaller than a pea amount to my hand and rub my hands together to evenly distribute on my hands, even between my fingers. THEN comb my fingers evenly through my hair, starting at the roots and working toward the ends, working my entire head. It may seem like little if any is being distributed, but that is exactly how this product works best. Follow with blow-dry style of my hair, and it helps give my baby fine, thin hair the body it lacks. Of course, if you hair is longer than chin length a bit more product can be used, but keep it to a minimum if you want results!

Nica Rustica El Brujito Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 8 of 8 reviews
"Not a beginner smoke"
Flavor started right off the bat. Excellent construction. Very rich, love the retro-hale, very cedary if there s such a word , like smoking the inside of a cigar box, WOW. Strength ramped up as it burned, but not in a bad way. Not a true Drew fan, prior to this!!! You get a ton for the price.
Marty M in Chicago February 2, 2015
Absolutely perfect balanced cigar strength, size, flavor, draw, and price$....if you love a full cigar then this is the cigar for you!!!!
LG in TEXAS January 21, 2015
"Remarkable masterpiece!!!"
After taking a nice long whiff of the dark oily wrapper it smells like rich chocolate , I snapped off the pigtail and tested the draw. No need for a cigar cutter with this stick.
I love a shaggy foot. It s a little hint that says Toast me! Also, since the wrapper leaf is usually the best quality, having a shaggy foot imparts good flavor into the first few puffs of smoke.
Burn line: wobbly, but no touchups needed
Ash: very light gray, firm
Smoke: LOTS OF IT. Dense and strong.
Nicotene: 7.5/10
The only unpleasant part of this cigar is the aroma. It reminds me of... burning hamburger fat. But I d never let a pithy little thing like stinky air keep me from smoking a good cigar.
I m very happy to say that unlike the aroma, the taste is very pleasant. The smoke exudes a vivid chocolate flavor much like the wrapper leaf , and is rounded off by mild hints of cedar.
Jim B in Galloway, NJ January 10, 2015
They really outdid themselves with this cigar. Nothing in it s price range comes close.
smoker in north america March 6, 2014
"wow just wow"
the burn on mine was perfect we had 30 mph winds so I had to move from my backyard to the garage and only had to re light another time because of the weather which normally ruins a cigar and didn t seem to phase this one but the flavor is intense the first third was just a burst of citrus that has a very unique taste most people complain about it I enjoyed it personally cream and cocoa with a very wood like flavor it taste like cocoa pebbles to me and I don t mean kinda sorta I mean from the second third to the end a bowl of cocoa pebbles the pepper was so light it just seems to be a side note which I don t care how the flavor comes off only that its there it was a very good experience I say full body and about as full strength as I ve ever had don t even thick about it if you like maduros buy a bundle these could sell for 14 bucks and still be a great cigar I am impressed by the insane amount of smoke put off
Anne in Sayre March 5, 2014
"Best Deal You Can Find."
This stick burns slow, razor sharp, and cool. It s flavor, while relatively consistent, mellows and sweetens considerably as you progress. Full bodied, rustic, and an awesome value for its price. Buy them while you can.
Andy in Portland March 1, 2014
From the toasting of the closed foot, which releases a heavenly aroma, to the torrent of flavor that comes with the first few puffs, to the exquisite finish right down to the nub, this cigar is superb. If you are a fan of full flavored, full bodied smokes, do not miss this one.
Craig in St Paul, MN February 13, 2014
"Affordable Perfection"
Was lucky enough to be given a pre-release Nica Rustica at my local cigar shop and Holy Cow it did not disappoint. Incredible flavor, even burn, copious amounts of smoke. I took this one right to the nub and enjoyed every part. I m a Maduro Padron guy for the most part but this will become a staple in my humidor once they become available. In my opinion, a perfect smoke!!

Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated Reports Second-Quarter 2010 Financial Results
-- Anticipate early retirement of acquisition-related term loan
-- Solid progress on operational integration of ICT acquisition
-- Increasing 2010 and long-term anticipated cost synergy target
-- Updating 2010 business outlook TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 2, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated ("SYKES" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:SYKE), a global leader in providing outsourced customer contact management solutions and services in the business process outsourcing (BPO) arena, announced today second-quarter 2010 financial results. Second quarter 2010 Highlights- Second quarter 2010 revenues of $299.2 million increased $90.3 million, or 43.3%, over the comparable quarter last year; second quarter 2010 revenues included $98.5 million in contribution from the ICT acquisition
- Second quarter 2010 operating margin was 2.9% versus 8.2% on a comparable basis; on an adjusted basis, a non-GAAP measure, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs (see Exhibit 4 for reconciliation), second quarter 2010 operating margin was 4.9% versus 8.9%, which excludes the KLA impairment loss in the year-ago quarter, comparably due to previously-discussed program expirations beginning in the second-half of 2009, lower-than-forecasted client demand without a commensurate reduction in labor costs and costs related to migration of demand to near-shore locations in Egypt, Romania and Germany
- Excluding the ICT acquisition and on a constant currency basis, second quarter 2010 revenues decreased 5.9% comparably due to tougher year-ago comparisons driven principally by previously-discussed program expirations, migration of demand to near-shore locations as well as softness in the technology and communications verticals, which more than offset increased demand from the financial services and transportation verticals and new client wins
- Excluding the ICT acquisition, second quarter 2010 operating margins declined 400 basis points (4.9% vs. 8.9%) comparably due principally to previously-discussed client program expirations, lower-than-forecasted client demand without a commensurate reduction in labor costs, wage increases in certain geographies and migration costs
- Second quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share was $0.05 versus $0.35 in the comparable quarter last year and below the Company's second quarter 2010 business outlook earnings per share range of $0.20 to $0.22. The decrease in the Company's second quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share on a comparable basis and relative to the business outlook was due to a combination of foreign currency transaction and other expense net losses, lower-than- forecasted-demand and a higher tax rate
- On an adjusted basis, second quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share was $0.14 versus $0.41 per share in the comparable quarter last year, which excludes the impact of the impairment loss on KLA and SHPS in the year-ago quarter, and versus an adjusted diluted earnings per share range of $0.28 to $0.32 provided in the Company's second quarter 2010 business outlook. Assuming a forecasted tax rate of 13% as projected in the Company's second quarter 2010 business outlook and assuming the projected net interest expense of approximately $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2010, the adjusted diluted earnings per share would have been $0.25. The decrease in second quarter 2010 adjusted earnings per share was due to principally to lower-than-forecasted client demand

hmmmmmm i dont know but is there gona be a new series of fma games are there in the process of making more or just rumers and also the xbox 360 grafics are awsum but which is better the ps3 or the xb 360 or the wii
Chances are, "Probably not". Theres 4 FMA games available in the US:
-PS2: Full Metal Alchemist and the Broken Angel
-PS2: Full Metal Alchemist -Curse of the Crimson Elixer-
-DS: Full Metal Alchemist -Dual Symphony
-DS: Full Metal Alchemist Trading Card Game
...and there are a couple FMA titles not released in the US as of yet.
-PS2:鋼の錬金術師 -ドリーム カーニバル (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi -Dream Carnival/FMA Dream Carnival)
Chances are that there wont be anymore new FMA games unless a US developer takes on the task.^^; Otherwise hope that SquareEnix licenses the other games in the US.:hattip:
I have the PS2: Full Metal Alchemist:the Broken Angel game. I didn't finish it yet. I go in spurts with games. I'll play like mad for days or weeks on end, then suddenly I'll stop for months or longer. I can play up-wards of 10 games at once, or sometimes I'll focus on only one game and finish it over a weekend. My niece is mad with me right now, because I'm going through a dry-out spell.
Better yet, I saw something that looked as if it's from a brand new FullMetal Alchemist show. Edward looked older, and it said something about his trying to get back to his brother.
My sister actually was the one who found it, she came across it about a week ago. She was just surfing around, you know bouncing from one place to another, when she saw it. She yelled for me, and I watched it with her again. I was speechless for a moment and then I just whispered "My G_d they're doing more...". She just laughed at me. Then there was another flash of lightning and the power went out. We tried to find it again, but she was just bouncing around, she couldn't remember all the site she went to that eventually led there.
ARRRRRGH! I would have posted it! I would have watched it more. I mean it looked real. It didn't look fake at all. It looked great. Has anyone else seen it, I wonder.
If you have a Nintendo DS, FMA: Dual Sympathy is pretty cool. Tons of mini-games, a good selection of characters, and it follows the FMA story pretty well. I think you'll like it if you like 2D side scrolling action in the Golden Axe/Streets of Rage style of gaming.
yea ive played all the us versions of the fma games but hmmm i wonder if they where to make another fma game wat system would they put it on and wats the rate there gona sell....???

Dear Mr. Dad,
I am 16 and I have found out am having a baby. How do you think my dad would take the news?
Well, I think you've just articulated every father's worst nightmare.
But the question of how your father will take the news isn't nearly as important as the questions you need to ask yourself. For example:
- Are you planning to have the baby?
- If so, do you plan to keep him or will you give him up for adoption?
- What's your relationship like with the baby's father?
- Does he know?
- Is he making a commitment to be involved?
You'll need to spend a lot of time thinking through these questions before telling your parents. Your first conversation should be with the baby's father, who has a right to be part of any decision, whether it's to have or not to have the baby.
You may also be able to get some counseling through your school or a local Planned Parenthood chapter.
Best of luck,
-- "Mr. Dad"

And the moment you are aware that you are, you are thrown into the current of the ever-living. The false is going to die; only the real will remain.
That is why we are so much afraid of death: because the unreal is going to die. The unreal cannot be forever, and we are attached to the unreal, identified with the unreal. You as a Hindu will have to die; you as Ram or Krishna will have to die; you as a communist, as an atheist, as a theist, will have to die; you as a name and form will have to die. And if you are attached to name and form, obviously the fear of death will come to you, but the real, the existential, the basic in you, is deathless. Once the forms and names are forgotten, once you have a look within to the nameless and the formless, you have moved into the eternal.
.be aware you are and discover the ever-living.
This technique is one of the most helpful, and it has been used for millennia by many teachers, masters. Buddha used it, Mahavira used it, Jesus used it, and in modern times Gurdjieff used it. Among all the techniques, this is one of the most potential. Try it. It will take time; months will pass.
When Ouspensky was learning with Gurdjieff, for three months he had to make much effort, arduous effort, in order to have a glimpse of what self-remembering is. So continuously, for three months, Ouspensky lived in a secluded house just doing only one thing - self-remembering. Thirty persons started that experiment, and by the end of the first week twenty-seven had escaped; only three remained. The whole day they were trying to remember - not doing anything else, just remembering that "I am." Twenty-seven felt they were going crazy. They felt that now madness was just near, so they escaped. They never turned back; they never met Gurdjieff again.
Why? As we are, really, we are mad. Not remembering who we are, what we are, we are mad, but this madness is taken as sanity. Once you try to go back, once you try to contact the real, it will look like craziness, it will look like madness. Compared to what we are, it is just the reverse, the opposite. If you feel that this is sanity, that will look like madness.
But three persisted. One of the three was P. D. Ouspensky. For three months they persisted. Only after the first month did they start having glimpses of simply being - of "I am." After the second month, even the "I" dropped, and they started having the glimpses of "am-ness" - of just being, not even of "I," because "I" is also a label. The pure being is not "I" and "thou"; it just is.

Immigration reform in 2013? It has a champion in Corporate America.
Page 2 of 2
On Capitol Hill, Donohue's efforts will support legislative work by bipartisan groups in both the House and Senate currently discussing immigration reform proposals. President Obama, too, has vowed to make immigration reform a top legislative priority in 2013.
Bringing a wide range of interest groups on board an immigration reform push is key, Donohue acknowledged, because immigration reform's many politically explosive questions – What to do with undocumented immigrants? How to secure America's borders? What about American unemployment? – could be disastrous for lawmakers.
"These are very passionate issues," Donohue said. "People worry about what the folks back home think, and you can demagogue this issue very easily."
Donohue's speech offered only the broad outlines of an immigration reform plan. The Chamber favors strict border security measures and workplace systems to verify immigration status, "thoughtfully designed" guest worker programs for both low- and high-skilled workers, more green cards for international students at American universities, and "a path out of the shadows for the 11 million undocumented immigrants who live in the United States today, provided that they meet strict conditions."
Donohue put special emphasis on the need to reform the immigration system despite persistent unemployment among existing Americans.
"Even with high unemployment, we have millions of job openings that go unfilled. Either the workers come here to fill those jobs," Donohue said, "or the companies take all of their jobs somewhere else."
He noted that the Chamber and the business community at large are fighting for better job training and education reforms, but that even so, "we still need immigrants. We are locked in a competition for the world's best talent. This is the competition that will separate the economic leaders from the laggards in the 21st century."
And he warned that America would do well to remember its heritage when thinking through how to change its immigration system.
"As we have this important debate," Donohue said, "let's remember who we are and where our families would be today if earlier generations of Americans had decided to slam the door shut."
"The door to the American dream," he continued, "must always remain open."

Apply MATLAB function or expression to input
The Interpreted MATLAB Function block applies the specified MATLAB® function or expression to the input. The output of the function must match the output dimensions of the block or an error occurs.
Some valid expressions for this block are:
sin atan2(u(1), u(2)) u(1)^u(2)
Note This block is slower than the Fcn block because it calls the MATLAB parser during each integration step. Consider using built-in blocks (such as the Fcn block or the Math Function block) instead. Alternatively, you can write the function as a MATLAB S-function or MEX-file S-function, then access it using the S-Function block. |
The Interpreted MATLAB Function block accepts one real or complex input of type double and generates real or complex output of type double, depending on the setting of the Output signal type parameter.
Specify the function or expression. If you specify a function only, it is not necessary to include the input argument in parentheses.
Specify the dimensions of the signal output by this block. If the output dimensions are to be the same as the dimensions of the input signal, specify –1. Otherwise, enter the dimensions of the output signal, for example, 2 for a two-element vector. In either case, the output dimensions must match the dimensions of the value returned by the function or expression in the MATLAB function field.
Specify the output signal type of the block as real, complex, or auto. A value of auto sets the output type to be the same as the type of the input signal.
Select this check box to output a 2-D array as a 1-D array containing the 2-D array's elements in column-major order.
Specify the time interval between samples. To inherit the sample time, set this parameter to -1. See Specify Sample Time in the online documentation for more information.

County adding gun ban inside courthouse
UPDATED 5:34 PM CDT Apr 01, 2014Madison County Supervisors vote to add a ban on guns after an incident last week.
Video TranscriptA controversial measure to ban guns in the Madison county courthouse has been approved! This, after a man pulled a gun there and triggered a lockdown last month. KCCI's Shaina Humphries reports from Winterset... New at 5 ... The gun ban is part of this 20- 13 courthouse security plan.. The county board of supervisors agreed that it was time to join ALL of the other 15 courthouses in this district with similar policies. FROM NOW ON, THE MADISON COUNTY COURTHOUSE WILL HAVE A NEW LOOK. THERE WILL BE SIGNS, LETTING VISITORS KNOW THAT WEAPONS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING. It will be a safer place, and I think it's a good compromise as opposed to just completely locking down the courthouse. OPPONENTS OF THE MOVE SAY THOSE WITH LEGAL GUN PERMITS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CARRY IN PUBLIC AREAS OF THE COURTHOUSE. ONE OF THOSE OPPONENTS, LOBBYIST JOHN REED, SAYS HE'LL CONTINUE TO FIGHT THE POLICY--WHIC H HE SAYS WON'T PREVENT ANOTHER INCIDENT IN THE COURTHOUSE. The criminal, the guy who did this last Monday. He would not have been intimidated at all. Nothing would have changed by having this be a gun- free zone. IF THE SIGNS DON'T INTIMIDATE WOULD-BE CRIMINALS.. IT'S THE BOARD'S HOPE THAT A COUNTY DEPUTY WILL. BUT WHERE THAT DEPUTY WILL COME FROM.. It's not in the budget right now, no. STILL NEEDS TO BE FIGURED OUT. If it is decided by the board and the safety committee that we're going to have armed, certified officers do that duty here, then I need personnel. I need more people. The courthouse safety committee will meet next week to discuss how this policy will be enforced.. Including how to increase deputy presence in the courthouse. In Madison county, SH, KCCI 8 News, INL.

Mekki: Shots will move up
Winger Adam Mekki believes Aldershot will be back in the top half of League Two before the end of the season.The club reached the play-offs last season but started poorly under Kevin Dillon before new boss Dean Holdsworth took charge to bring about a return to form.Mekki said: "The introduction of the new management team has been a breath of fresh air and you couldn`t ask for any more."The performances in training are translating onto the pitch and we are starting to get the results we deserve."But we deserve to be higher up the table and I will do my very best to help the team achieve that."

Re: You know you are an obsessed tennis fan when you..
- lock yourself into a dark room with pics of your favorite player to...'relax'.
- kiss your live-size poster of your fave every day in the morning and before going to bed.
- you're having thoughts about ways to get rid of your fave's boyfriend so you can start a wonderful relationship with her.
PS.: Neither of these statements apply to me. I swear.
