Jeter helps Yankees to `monumental' win over Rays
NEW YORK For a night, the Yankees' pennant push was secondary.
"There's not too many monuments here." captain Derek Jeter said. "That's what you remember the most. I mean, the game's important, but it was a special night out there."
Jeter and his teammates helped honor George Steinbrenner with a monumental win.
After the Yankees unveiled a huge monument to their late owner, Jeter singled home the go-ahead run in the sixth inning. Curtis Granderson followed with his second home run of the night, a three-run drive that helped New York to an 8-6 victory Monday over the second-place Tampa Bay Rays in a key AL East matchup.
Winning the opener of a four-game series that started its final homestand, New York (91-59) opened a 1 1/2-game lead over the Rays (89-60) and cut Tampa Bay's advantage in the season series - the first tiebreaker for the division title - to 8-7. New York lowered its magic number for clinching a playoff berth to five.
"His No. 1 priority was for us to win," Jeter said. "We're happy we were able to do that."
Steinbrenner, the team's owner from 1973 until his death on July 13 at age 80, joined Miller Huggins (unveiled in 1932), Lou Gehrig (1941), Babe Ruth (1949), Mickey Mantle (1996) and Joe DiMaggio (1999) as the only individuals with monuments behind the center-field fence at new Yankee Stadium. Steinbrenner's 7-by-5-foot, 760-pound monument of bronze atop a granite base is behind the quintet of 2-by-3-foot monuments honoring the pinstriped famous five.
Jeter likely will be honored there one day, too. With two runs, he tied Mantle for third on the Yankees list at 1,677, trailing only Ruth (1,959) and Gehrig (1,888).
After Tampa Bay rallied from a four-run deficit, Jeter's hit off Matt Garza (14-9) followed Brett Gardner's leadoff infield single and Francisco Cervelli's hit-and-run single through the vacated hole at shortstop. With New York ahead 5-4, Granderson greeted Grant Balfour with a three-run homer and tied his career high with five RBIs.
Granderson, a first-year Yankee, thought the occasion made the victory special.
"A more meaningful one," he said. "It's definitely that much more important."
Eighteen of Granderson's 21 homers have come off right-handers. Rays manager Joe Maddon said he miscommunicated with his bullpen and, as a result, didn't have a left-hander warmed up.
"That was my fault," Maddon confessed. "All of a sudden, I'm giving the ball to the pitcher, and it doesn't look like Randy Choate."
Chad Gaudin (1-4) won in relief of rookie Ivan Nova, who allowed three runs, three hits and two walks in 5-2 3 innings. Mariano Rivera rebounded from Sunday's blown save at Baltimore to get his 32nd in 36 chances. Evan Longoria had a two-out single and Rivera hit Dan Johnson with a pitch before retiring Matt Joyce on a groundout with two on.
Garza gave up seven runs - five earned - eight hits and four walks in 5 1-3 innings.
"I didn't think I threw the ball that bad," he said.

|In McGloin, PSU developed model walk-on for future
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 06 December 2012 14:03
A year for McGloin that included school records for career touchdown passes and single-season passing yards ended with the senior winning the Burlsworth Trophy, an award given to the top college player who started his career as a walk-on.
It was perfect timing for a program that might need to rely on walk-ons more over the next few seasons. Scholarship cuts that are part of the NCAA sanctions for the school's handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal start taking effect in 2013.
McGloin said he realized during the season that he could be a face for the program and encourage potential walk-ons.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
2 Storey apartment set in the village of Novazzo, Near Bergamo. Escape from the hustle and bustle to this mountain retreat. The property faces the picturesque Village of Spiazzi Gromo, with stunning mountains to either side of the valley and woodland walks throughout. The property has its own garage. The property itself consists of a large double bedroom on the 1st floor with a private balcony overlooking the mountains. The lower floor is the shower room and lounge, and kitchen area leading out onto a further balcony overlooking the mountains.
Out and about: Ideally located for the lakes of Northen Italy, Lake Iseo, Como and Garda. Easy day trips to Venice, Verona and Milan. Many walks local to the house in addition to Presolana. Visit the historic old town of Bergamo. Local town of Clusone has a market every Monday. Visit the Waterfall of Valbondione a very short distance from the house. For those who enjoy a bit of shopping the Orio Centre in Bergamo is the largest shopping mall in Italy. Verona offers some fantastic live performances and just a drive away from the house. Enjoy the performance as the sun sets over the Arena. If you enjoy designer shopping try the city of Bergamo or Milan with many designer shops. If you prefer the historic towns take the funicular from Bergamo to Citta Alta where you can find beautiful churches and gorgeous restaurants with spectacular views. Alternatively just take a stroll and enjoy the views.
Scenery and surrounding area: There are many local walks and there is a local map at the house for those keen hikers. If you need an energy boost there are two wonderful patisseries, one in Gromo and one in Clusone, serving beautiful cakes and mini pastries. For those who enjoy their food try one of the many restaurants in Gromo with fine Italian food from pasta, pizza, steaks to Rissoto and polenta.
Many waterfalls run down the mountains to the river, staring at the famous Valbondione waterfall. There are numerous walks along the river, including on the flat. There is a small walk from the apartment to the right hand side as you face the mountain views. Take this walk and you will find numerous waterfalls as well as a picnic area, BBQ area and a local play area for children. There is also a play area along the river from Gromo towards Clusone.
Places to see, things to do: In the Spring they have a try tabogan run at Spiazzi Gromo along with many other outdoor activities. Spiazzi Gromo is surrounded by pine woodlands and has a very open space for picnics and relaxing in the sun. If you feel like a change for the day Switzerland is approximately a 3 hour drive (make sure you take your passport!) and enroute you may wish to visit Lake Como.
Both Milan and Verona arenas and theatres are just over an hour away. Fantastic architecture and pleaces to see, eat and drink. Try the arena in Verona or the Teatro la Scala in Milan. Within 2 and half hours in the city of Venice, many of our guests take day trips there, straight down the A4. Romantic setting, and make sure you take a Gondola as you see a whole new prespective of Venice. For the more adventurus travellers, take to road to Pisa and Florence as a day trip or spend the night in the wonderful city of Florence.
Just arrived home and have been reviewing the downloaded photos. We had a fabulous time, loved the view from the balconies, taking many meals there, and walking from Rif Vodala to Mt Redondo. We had no idea there was such beauty in this area and the apartment was such a success for us. Although we did go to Lake Iseo [on a very hot and humid day] the mountains and walks were our favourite. If the flights stay we hope to be back.
We travelled to Navazza using our own car via ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Strasbourg, Strasbourg to Navazza. A wonderful journey taking in two city breaks and highly recommended. This was our second visit to the Apartment in Navazza for a winter skiing holiday at Gromo Spiazzi. By taking our own car we were able to take skis, boots and all the other paraphenalia required for a winter sports holiday. The apartment was well appointed, clean, warm and cosy. We had a small problem with electrics but the owner's agent sorted it out the next day. We would recommend eating at the Sports Bar in Gromo. The owners are so friendly and obliging. Ask them to make you a Lasagne or a Macarone Cheese, absolutely delicious. We would definitely recommend this apartment and this part of Italy. The mountains are magnificent, the skiing excellent and the accommodation very welcoming especially when the log fire is lit. We also like the fact that there is a garage to house the skis and car at the end of the day.
A great place - when we were there, it was QUIET, no neighbours. We ENJOYED the stay, the great views over the mountains, the landscape. Drove around in car and saw a lot of small villages, small streets, nature. No english (or danish!) spoken in the nearby towns, but the Italian people are so friendly and helps you out. No problem, that you have to drive to buy food. We enjoyed every hour in that place. The sights, the different smells, the "life" the mountains provide you: Sunny, hot, rainy, clouds being made from below you, thunder. And it can all be experienced from the balcony. We highly recommend it for friends and family in Denmark. The flat had all what we needed to live and cook and bath. We had a little trouble about the internet, but we think the "welcome"-book was lost. But we found out, bought our own sim-card in Clusone and paid 25 Euro for at week of internet. Ask the owner for advise - he´s kind and fast to answer your mail. No problem ordering the appartement. The owner is as written, kind, fast, helpfull and he´ll send you good directions when he answer your booking. Go to Novazza and get your soul and spirit loaded with good, great impressions. Be awake in the traffic.It´s a good idea to have a gps, if you want to drive up the small places, as all the mountains sometimes seems to look alike, and you can miss feeling of directions. Our route-mistakes took us to wonderfull places :) And now Danish: Det er et skønt sted - flot bjergtagende udsigt fra balkonerne. Ren luft - højt til himlen. Ligger lidt øde, men det tager ingen tid at køre til de byer, du har brug for ift at handle, at spise. Tag derned og gå på opdagelse, du vil ikke fortryde. De taler ikke engelsk, men er venlige og hjælpsomme. Vi tog en parlør ned på telefonen, og viste "hvad kan i anbefale" på telefonen på restauranter. De smilte og hjalp os til skønne måltider. Kan stærkt anbefales. Er du til barer og blinkende lygter og solbadning, er det ikke stedet. Det kan du opsøge ved Gardasøen, der ligger i overskuelig nærhed. Vi droppede storby-besøg, men nød istedet små gyder og gader i nærområdet. Samt alle vores ture ud-i-det-blå, der nogen gange endte på 2 meter smalle bjergveje. Bønderne arbejder som i gamle dage her med håndkraft for at slå hø på bjergskråninger, der høres ko-klokker fra bjerget overfor, og du bliver afhængig af balkonens udsigter og de dufte, du mødes af :) Vær obs på internet - det virkede ikke, Tror velkomst-mappen manglede blade. Ejer vil hjælpe :)
We spent 10 wonderful days here in August. The apartment sits high up on a mountainside with breathtaking views. It's very well fitted-out and stocking-up can be done easily with good supermarkets less than 25 minutes' drive away. It's worth noting that there is no shop, restaurant, or bar in Valgoglio – you will have to travel 5 minutes by car down the mountain to the nearest amenities in Gromo.
You do need a car and do follow James's directions as finding the village, let alone the apartment, is tricky! Be careful as the surrounding roads are quite narrow and uneven, with many hairpin bends.
There is plenty to explore nearby. Gromo is quaint and rural and there are plenty of walks. Further afield the lakes are all within a few hours' travel, as are the beautiful cities of Brescia and Verona, and Venice is only a 3-hour drive. We would highly recommend Citta Alta – the old town of Bergamo – it really is a delight.
Do remember that if you are planning on driving further afield you will have to travel 45 minutes or so from the apartment to get to the Autostrada network which connects outside Bergamo. Also be wary of the tolls. All Autostrada operate tolls, the costs of which vary according to the day, and how far you are travelling. Our day trip to Venice cost around €30 in tolls. It's also worth noting that road surfaces, even on the toll roads, range from poor to awful, so do be careful.
The jewel in the crown is the balcony at the apartment. It offers a glorious vista of the mountains and surrounding countryside. If you're up early enough the sunrise is beautiful, and during August the balcony is bathed in direct sunlight all the way through until around 2pm. The weather is very changeable but wonderfully dramatic. Cloudless sky and hot sun can suddenly turn into torrential rain, and the electrical storms are magical, particularly at night. You could quite easily while away your time relaxing on the balcony (with the help of the odd bottle of local wine) simply taking in the sights and sounds.
Overall this is the perfect Italian getaway where you can take solace from the world! It offers the perfect balance of being able to do as much or as little as you want. The pictures on the website really don't do it justice, and it's such a refreshing change to see an apartment that is clearly cherished and cared for by both the owners and guests alike.
We can't remember staying anywhere this relaxing, and we can't recommend it highly enough.
Me and my partner spent 5 fantastic days at the apartment and were very sad to leave!
The place is very clean, spacious and has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The main attraction is the balcony, which has amazing views of the mountains and valley below.
The location is perfect for walking and exploring the cute little Italian towns nearby, as well as day trips to places such as Lake Iseo and Bergamo, which are under an hour away. There's also restaurants, delis and supermarkets nearby for stocking up on the essentials! A car would be preferable for getting to the apartment and visiting the local towns as the location is quite remote!
The owner offered great customer service, providing very speedy responses to queries and giving excellent directions and advice on how to get to the area.
We'd definitely recommend the place to other travellers and hope to return again to Novazza soon!
Apartment is wonderful, well-equipped with full kitchen and all appliances, comfortable seating and bed. Views from the balconies are stunning and breakfast on the balcony a memory that will stay with us. Location is fantastic - convenient for lakes, Bergamo etc. but you don't have to do that - just exploring the local valleys and mountains would give you something different to do each day. Would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a mountain retreat with wonderful views, walks and drives. Not forgetting the good, good food in the local towns and villages.
We needed a break. We looked for cheap flights from our nearest airport and then looked for accommodation.Probably not the best way to do things but it turned out to be an absolute delight for us. The area, about which we knew nothing prior to booking, was full of magnificent scenery and picturesque villages and towns. We spent most of our time walking and so there was more than sufficient to satisfy our need for R & R in the immediate locality. We were blown away by the appartment, especially the views from the balconies. If anything the description didn't do justice to the appartment, with all facilities and in excellent condition - the garage parking a real plus. We so liked the views we ate in most evenings and so really appreciated the kitchen facilities. The shower room with washing/drier machine was well used. The communication with the owner was excellent and the directions to the appartment clear so we arrived without difficulty. There were useful maps and guide books in the property but the most entertaining item was the visitors comments book. This gave a great insight to the various possibilities locally and further afield - make sure you read it first.
The property is located near the popular City of Bergamo with its historic old walled city and the new city based below, the old city accessed via cable car. The town of Gromo, with its old Castle offering many restaurants with Italian specialities. Gromo Spiazzi is located in the heart of a wide wood - offers you an ancient medieval village, along with a new urban centre with private houses and hotels. Gromo medieval ruins offer one of the best preserved Medieval Castle in the province of Bergamo; there tourists may enjoy walking through Orobie mountains or taking a break in the Spiazzi pinewood. The property is ideally located for the lakes of Italy, walking and the city of Bergamo. The property is also ideally located for trips to Venice, Switzerland or Verona where you can see a live performance as the sun sets over the arena. There are many restaurants in Gromo along with a deli, patisserie, bank, shops and grocers.
Ski: On the mountains surrounding the villages of Lizzola and Valbondione the snow lasts for many months a year and always in good conditions. The slopes are suitable for all kinds of skiers: alpine skiers who come up to the top of the mountains and cross country skiers, who stay on the slopes at the bottom of the valley. Valbondione is therefore a complete ski resort; it can host high level ski events and thanks to its geographical position, at the feet of a rocky mountain up to 3.000 metres, it offers many snowfields as great environment for ski practice. 2 chairlifts, 3 ski lifts, 2 black runs, 2 red runs and 2 blue runs. Lifts start at 1.250 meters up to 1.915 meters. 30 km of runs and 1 ski school, included in the Orobie Ski pass area. Snow conditions are always good thanks to the cold temperature and ski runs can satisfy even the best skiers. Lizzola is a typical mountain village and offers good restaurants, pubs and shops.

Fisheries Seafood Maritime Initiative University of Alaska
Industry Employer Survey - Introduction
The University of Alaska, through its Fisheries, Seafood, Maritime Initiative (www.alaska.edu/fsmi/) is asking marine industry employers for information we can use to develop an industry-specific workforce development plan for the state. This survey has seven short questions plus space for you to enter information about your company's workforce and employee needs. It asks you to list all of your company's maritime-specfic occupations (not individual positions) and then to provide a few additional details about high-priority occupations. Please use as many pages as necessary to list all pertinent occupations.
The goal is to provide us a picture of employment opportunities and workforce needs within Alaska's maritime industries, and to identify the training, education, and skills required for those occupations. With the help of a panel of industry advisors we will develop strategies for providing training and education that prospective employees need to qualify for jobs and careers. The information you provide will help the University of Alaska, other institutions in Alaska, and the State develop a plan.
Responses are confidential; neither companies nor individuals will be identified in the report. The information will only be used in a training and education needs assessment and plan development.
In Question 1 you will be asked to list marine-specific occupations in your company and in Question 2 you will be asked to list high-priority, difficult to fill occupations.
If you would like a copy of our report or would be available for an in-person or telephone interview in which you could provide us more detailed information, please check the boxes at the end of the survey.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for assisting us and promoting the future of your industry.

"Due diligence was carried out before creating the three States in 2000, when Atal Behari Vajpayee was Prime Minister and L.K. Advani headed the Home Ministry"
The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government has been unable to create the proposed State of Telangana and address the concerns of the people of the region and those of Seemandhra, the Bharatiya Janata Party said on Saturday.
Citing the formation of Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh when the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was in power at the Centre, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said in a statement that the BJP had set an example on how States should be created.
Consistent support
"The BJP has consistently supported the proposal to create a State of Telangana. At the same time, we believe that justice should be done to the region of Seemandhra. The manner in which the Congress has gone about on this issue displays a complete lack of statecraft," he said.
Mr. Jaitley said due diligence was carried out before creating the three States in 2000, when Atal Behari Vajpayee was Prime Minister and L.K. Advani headed the Home Ministry.
The [then] Home Minister held wide consultations with the States. A comfort level was given to each of the States [by assuring them] that the creation of the new States would not adversely affect them," the BJP leader said.
"Not a single protest took place in any of the States. As Law Minister, I visited all the three States for inauguration of the High Court Benches. There was an environment of celebration among the people. They were grateful to the NDA for having fulfilled the poll promise," he said.
Drawing comparisons with the steps to create Telangana, the BJP leader said the region and Seemandhra suspected the intention of the Congress. "Adequate homework has not been done. The deft political handling required to identify the issues and balance the creation of the new State with a possible sense of injustice that people in Seemandhra may feel has not been done. Alternatively, both regions are in a state of turmoil. The ruling party itself is on the verge of split," he said.

U.S. banks have shown signs of strength recently with the help of slow and steady economic recovery. The record low interest rate has been a significant factor that affected these banks. The low interest rates have been a headwind for banks' net interest margin, or NIM, in the last 2-3 years. But, the rise average spending in the U.S. will boost credit card revenue and provide some relief for banks. The banks' main challenge is to maintain their earnings growth in the coming years. How will one of the largest U.S. banks rise to this challenge?
Wealth segment to bring more wealth
Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) is one of the largest banks in the U.S. with a total average deposit of $1.0 trillion, as of the second quarter of 2013. It posted net income of $5.5 billion, a 19% year over year increase in its second quarter of 2013, and a 14th consecutive quarter of rising profits. The most notable growth driver was the 27% increase in net income to $434 million in its Wealth, Brokerage, and Retirement segment.
Asia-pacific issuers have raised $1.8 trillion from bond sales with the help of low interest rates prevailing in the market since the beginning of 2012. Looking at such high economic growth and potential opportunities, in August 2013 Wells Fargo planned to increase the number of fund clients in Asia by 20% every year from 2013 onwards. This region represents 15% of its global fund services. The focus is to develop a relationship with long-term clients, who would be profitable for its global fund services.
Overall, Wells Fargo has client assets of $1.4 trillion, which is only 5% of the total global market potential of $25 trillion. This gives Wells Fargo significant opportunity to tap higher market in the future and increase revenue from this segment.
Credit to the growing credit card user-base
Wells Fargo is the U.S.'s seventh largest general purpose credit card issuer. Its revenue from card fees was $2.84 billion in 2012 and is expected to increase to $3.10 in 2013. This is due to the rise in the number of the cardholders, who prefer cashless transactions. The U.S. economy is in a recovery phase, which means more people are getting jobs or starting their own ventures, thus increasing their spending. Wells Fargo is capitalizing on this opportunity by offering more rewards and loyalty programs. Currently 78% of U.S. residents own credit cards, and these numbers are likely to go up with the rise in average spending among U.S. residents. The total credit card debt is only 16% below the high of $1.02 trillion in July 2008, just before the financial crisis. The card fee will provide a boost to Wells Fargo's credit card segment, which is expected to increase its revenue contribution.
Wells Fargo has entered an agreement with American Express (AXP) to launch credit cards that will be accepted on the Amex network. The pilot launch of the credit cards will start in the third quarter of 2013, and a full launch will take place in the first half of 2014. American Express used to issue cards through its own subsidiaries, American Express Centurion Bank and American Express Bank, but it has taken the third party route for expansion into foreign markets. It will charge fees based on credit card transaction volume and earn royalties from Wells Fargo.
Under the agreement, Wells Fargo will issue cards through its own network, while leveraging American Express's infrastructure and brand image. American Express will help design Wells Fargo's loyalty programs, which offer a range of merchandise and gift cards to its credit card users. The Amex credit cards will be available for subscription to 70 million Wells Fargo customers. Currently, only one-third, around 23.3 million, of Wells Fargo customers own a Visa (V) brand credit card, giving further opportunity to expand its credit card offerings to all its customers. The average spent on an Amex card spend annually is $15,000, much higher than Visa's $1,000 average. This gives Wells Fargo a huge earning potential in the future.

NIM: Still a concern for U.S. banks
Net Interest Margin of three U.S. banks
Wells Fargo
JPMorgan (JPM)
Citigroup (C)
Net interest margin, or NIM, is a cause of concern for all banking giants such as Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup. Net interest margin is the difference between interest earned and the interest expense on its assets. With the exception of Citigroup, NIM of all these banks has been declining. This is due to the low interest environment maintained by the Federal Reserve since 2008. Citigroup has been able to sustain its margins owing to its globally diversified business, earning better interest rates in emerging economies. Even though Wells Fargo has shown the highest year over year decline in second quarter of 2013, it has the highest margin among its peers. This is due to the high loan-to-deposit ratio of 80.2% in comparison to Citigroup's 69% and JP Morgan's 60% in the second quarter of 2013. Loan-to-deposit ratio is ratio of a bank's total loans and total deposits. This means that Wells Fargo is making better use of its deposits by lending it out and generating interest income.
In addition, the interest rate decline has been slowing down, and is expected to rise once interest rates go up. The Federal Reserve has considered increasing interest rates once the inflation and employment situation improves significantly.
Trailing P/E
Forward P/E
Wells Fargo
All three bank's trailing P/E is less than its forward P/E. Wells Fargo's forward price-to-earnings, or P/E, of 10.54, is less than its trailing P/E of 11.49. This indicates that its earnings are expected to increase next year. Also, its P/E is more than the industry's P/E of 9.7, which should give investors confidence in company's future earnings. Wells Fargo's EPS is expected to increase to $3.84 next year, a 14% year over year increase. Wells Fargo is undervalued in comparison to its closest competitor, Citigroup, which has a P/E of 15.93. At such a low valuation, Wells Fargo should be included in an investor's portfolio.
The U.S. banking industry is undergoing a change, with many banks diversifying their business segments and regions to reduce their dependency on U.S. markets. Wells Fargo is also looking towards Asia in its asset management and retirement services for expansion. With the help of its partnership with American Express, it will also grow its credit card segment. The rise in interest rates will further boost its NIM, which has been declining for years. With bright prospects ahead, a discounted P/E in comparison of Citigroup, and EPS growth, this stock is unlikely to disappoint investors in the future.

JACKSONVILLE, FL - March 27, 2012 - Next Generation Power Engineering has manufactured yet another solution to help spray foam applicators perform with ease and efficiency.
The "Gen-Air-Ator" is a hybrid machine that combines two proven technologies into one. The design is a generator/air compressor combination that is smaller, lighter, quieter and less wasteful than any of its market competitors. It is the only 1800 RPM diesel generator and rotary vane compressor on the market, and it's available today.
A few key specs:
"The biggest benefit for spray foam contractors is definitely the weight," said Nick Grittani of Next Gen. The Gen- Air- Ator weighs in at 1460 lbs, a solid 1,000 less than its market competitors. "When you're building a rig, the equipment can add up to an enormous amount of weight and this alleviates that significantly."
Grittani also pointed to the simplicity of the machine as a major advantage and selling point. "Because the machine is not belt-driven, its assembly is simpler, less noisy, it doesn't shake and it requires less maintenance," he said.
Next Gen's Gen-Air-Ator directly couples the Gardner Denver "Hydro Vane" rotary vane compressor to a proven powered Kubota gen-set.
The proven "Hydro Vane" rotary vane compressor has been around for 50 years with over 750,000 satisfied customers.
To learn more about the Gen-Air-Ator, please contact Next Gen at 855-772-5457 or visit the links listed below.
About Next Generation Power Engineering Inc.: Next Generation has provided unique and innovative power solutions to both the marine and industrial markets for over 10 years. The company is based out of Jacksonville, Fla.

Thai troops clear protest area vacated after clash
BANGKOK (AP) - Thai troops cleared the gutted remains of armored carriers Thursday after anti-government protesters vacated the site of last week's bloody clashes and shifted to an upscale shopping district to intensify their campaign to oust the prime minister.
The Red Shirt protesters vow their new encampment in the Rajprasong shopping area, several miles (kilometers) from the old camp in Phan Fa, will be the final battlefront in their bid to have Parliament dissolved and new elections held.
A failed attempt by security forces to flush the Red Shirts from Phan Fa on Saturday ended with deadly street battles that left 24 people dead in Thailand's worst political violence in nearly two decades. The government's disaster management center said a 24th person died of injuries Thursday.
Queen Sirikit, wife of the country's ailing King Bhumibol Adulyadej, visited hospitalized soldiers and civilians.
The crisis has deeply divided this Southeast Asian nation into color-coded factions, threatening to sink an economy that had recently started to revive. The Red Shirts are bitterly opposed by the Yellow Shirts who support the government but have over the past few months stayed on the sidelines.
Prime Minister "Abhisit Vejjajiva is the one who must make an immediate decision now (to dissolve Parliament), and if he doesn't we will escalate our pressure," said Weng Tojirakarn, a Red Shirt leader. "We will keep on demonstrating ... Abhisit must go into exile."
Tensions were likely to build after the four-day lunar New Year festival of Songkran ends Friday.
The Red Shirts - mainly rural poor who accuse Abhisit of coming to power illegally - arrived in Bangkok from the provinces in droves a month ago and occupied the Democracy Monument in the Phan Fa neighborhood in the old part of the capital.
Thousands more took over the posh Rajprasong area, lined with shopping malls and five-star hotels, on April 5.
"We moved out of Phan Fa for the safety of our protesters," protest leader Nattawut Saikua said. "And more importantly, the army would not be able to have any more excuse for clamping down on us. We've already cleared the area for them."
"Rajprasong will be the last battlefront between us and Abhisit. Logistically we'd be more efficient. We'd better organize ourselves. Our troops would then be much more stronger," he said.
After the Red Shirts moved out of Phan Fa, soldiers arrived with cranes to lift the burned out hulls of armored personnel carriers and trucks that were set on fire by protesters on Saturday. The remains were placed on trailer trucks, draped with tarpaulins and driven away.
Municipal workers removed red banners that had been wrapped around the Democracy Monument, a gigantic dome-shaped structure. They used high-pressure water hoses to rid the sidewalks of cooking oil stains, sprayed disinfectant and replanted flowers and hedges. Volunteers cleaned graffiti from the monument, including vulgar abuses against the prime minister.
A group of government supporters dubbed the "Pink Shirts" gathered for the second straight day Thursday to voice their opposition to dissolving parliament. About 500 people turned up after issuing an appeal through social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
According to the INN radio news network, Pink Shirt leader Tul Sithisomwong vowed to gather at the Victory Monument roundabout daily until the Red Shirts disperse.
At loggerheads in the yearslong struggle for power in Thailand are the rural supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra - who was ousted in a 2006 coup and went into exile ahead of a 2008 conviction for corruption - and the traditional ruling elite represented by Abhisit and his allies.
The coup was followed by elections in December 2007 that were won by Thaksin's political allies. But they faced months of street protests by "Yellow Shirts" who accuse Thaksin of corruption. Although the pro-Thaksin government did not bow to the protests, it was forced out of office by a court decision that the Red Shirts found dubious.
The resulting political vacuum was filled by Abhisit's opposition coalition in December 2008. The Red Shirts claim Abhisit, whose supporters include business leaders, the military brass and members of the urban middle class, took power illegitimately because he didn't win any election.
Since it was founded, the Red Shirt movement has become more broad-based, claiming to represent the interests of the country's poor against a selfish elite, rather than just seeking Thaksin's return.
Thaksin's relationship to the group has become more ambiguous, though he remains an icon to most Red Shirts.
"My feeling is that Thaksin is far more concerned with ensuring that any Red Shirt achievements work directly to his advantage than he is with ending the crisis," said Michael Montesano, a visiting research fellow at Singapore's Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. "The Red Shirts, too, face a real moment of truth, to work out the place of the exiled premier in what has become a social movement that is far bigger than just Thaksin."

Food made from organisms that are attributed certain traits through genetic engineering< read all 1 reviews
"If we are what we eat, with all the genetically modified and imitation foods we now eat, what the heck are we?" - anonymous
If you want to judge genetically modified food, you should first know what genetic modification means.
Basically, you can see GM (I'll use 'GM' because it's short for Genetic Modification) as a way to 'improve' plants and animals. By making adjustments in the DNA, the plant or animal gets, for instance, a higher quality or a higher resistance to diseases and/or parasites.
What researchers in the biotechnology do, can be explained quite easily. They take genes (genes are holding information, which is for example used to build cells, but also holds information about genetic traits) from one type of plant or organism and 'insert' them into another type of plant (or organism).
You can see GM as this : Plant A has for instance a weakness to cold. Now, farmers don't really like that and researchers have decided to make sure that the plant will have a higher resistance to cold. They look for a plant, or organism (think of microbes) and take out specific information (that specific information is the reason for organism B's resistance to cold) from it's DNA. Then, they place that piece of information inside the DNA of plant A. That way, plant A will be more endurable to cold weather (just like organism B).
Now, there are a few reasons to vote 'for' GM. Let's make a list of them :
The fact that plants have a higher resistance to cold means that in the near future we could say goodbye to the greenhouses (that wouldn't be such a bad thing, now would it? The light that comes from the greenhouses causes the sky to turn 'yellow', so when night falls, it won't be dark at all. This is not a problem for people, but what about the animals?).
If you look at a 'normal' potato plant, not every potato that can be harvested from it has a 'high' quality. This means that the vegetables need to be sorted on quality. A-quality, which is the best quality, is more expensive than the other qualities. But, now GM came along, scientists can make sure that (almost) every fruit or vegetable, that can be harvested from a plant, will have a high quality. As a result, the high quality vegetables are less expensive. The same goes for mass production, which can be made possible by GM.
But what about the downsides of GM? Let me also list them for you :
(many thanks to Yahoo.com)
We all know that GM has not been around for a very long time. This means that we – still – don't know much about it. A lot of health hazards can occur, without us even knowing.
And what about the long-term effects? We might be able to know, no predict, what GM food can do to an individual for a short period of time. But what happens after twenty years? Thirty, or even forty? There is no-one who can answer that question because there is no-one who thought of testing GM on a long term. Maybe they did, but it would cost a lot of money and take a lot of time. Most governments don't think it's necessary to spend a lot of time and money on research if they think it's safe. Why not? Because they are all driven by money.
"Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible." – Phil Angel, the director of corporate communications at Monsanto
So in this world, this society, it seems that money is more important than the lives of thousands of humans and animals.
"Genetic engineering is like performing heart surgery with a shovel. Scientists do not yet understand living systems completely enough to perform DNA surgery without creating mutations which could be harmful to the environment and our health. They are experimenting with very delicate, yet powerful forces of nature, without full knowledge of the repercussions.''- Mark Schoofs (I believe)
Not only should we 'fear' for what happens in the (near) future - due to the absence of information - the resistance to antibiotics and of course the possible side effects. But we should also fear for the impact it could, and will, have on our environment. Our food will contain more and more pesticides, like safe-foods.org says, due to GM, crops are able to create their own pesticides. And the most, frustrating, thing is possibly the fact that once the genes are inserted into the crops or animals, and those are being 'released' into our environment, there is no way to contain the genes. Recalling them would be simply impossible. So, if they made a mistake, we're doomed to live with it.
Personally, I'm against Genetic Modification. Not only because we have no clue what will happen in the near future, but also because I believe we have no right to 'mess' with nature. Who are we to think we can make our food 'better' and control it, if we can't even control ourselves? Hunger for power, money and the fact that we think we are the smartest animals on this planet (we may call ourselves human and think we stand above the other living creatures, but we're still animals) are the reasons why GM was introduced in the first place. There is nothing wrong with the way our food was before.
If only we would use GM to make sure everyone on this planet would have something to eat, maybe then I would think of accepting it (however, the downsides of GM makes it impossible to accept it, since I wouldn't want other people to die because of it). But that's not happening.
We're all part of it, whether we want it or not and there are only three options we have left. We should either go back to where we started and grow our own, biological, crops and keep our own cows and chickens in the backyard. We could also just close our eyes to this and forget about it, not accepting the fact that this is happening right now. Or, we could unite and stand up against this. It's your choice…
"If it is left to me, I would certainly not eat it. We are putting new things into food which have not been eaten before. The effects on the immune system are not easily predictable and I challenge anyone who will say that the effects are predictable." - Professor Arpad Pustzai, world-leading nutritional science expert.
What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Genetically Modified (GM) Foods are made from organisms that have been given specific traits through genetic engineering, unlike similar food organisms developed through the conventional genetic modification of selective breeding or mutation breeding. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. Typically, genetically modified foods are plant products: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil, but animal product s have been proposed. Foods can be modified in such a way that pesticides become part of the genetic makeup of the product so less pesticides need to be used externally. Insects no longer consume the crops and the result yields pleasant looking produce that is only consumed by humans. There are no short or long-term studies on the effect of GM foods on the human body or the environment.

Talk Lightning Hockey with fans and staff at the BP Message Boards and follow us on Twitter and Facebook
Stirling Singles Out SixSubmitted by chad on September 17, 2006 - 07:52
In today's [i]Springfield Republican[/i], Falcons Head Coach Steve Stirling, who with assistant coach Darren Rumble led the Lightning's entry in the 2006 Traverse City Prospects Tournament, mentioned six players as standing out for their good play in Michigan. He also noted that the team got better with each game in Traverse City, which is encouraging. Stirling called goaltenders Riku Helenius and Karri Ramo "outstanding," and said the defensive play was highlighted by the efforts of Matt Smaby and Vladimir Mihalik. The former New York Islanders coach also pointed to returning Falcon Marek Kvapil as being the top forward for Tampa in the tournament: "He showed that he can pick up the pace and push the puck up ice."
Day One ScrimmagesSubmitted by pete on September 16, 2006 - 13:41
[url=http://www.tampabaylightning.com/tbl/content.cfm?pageid=1704]Day one scrimmage box scores are out on Tampabaylightning.com.[/url] Team Black beat Team White 3-1 as the Richards line squared off against the Lecavalier line. In what has become an annual tradition, the Richards line dominated the first day of camp with Martin St. Louis netting a pair of goals with Dimitry Afanasenkov getting helpers on both markers. Prospect [url=blair-jones]Blair Jones[/url] scored the other Team Black goal off assists from Marek Bartanus and Mitch Fritz. [url=chris-lawrence]Chris Lawrence[/url] scored the lone Team White goal on a helper by Eric Healey. Free agent signee Johan Holmqvist stopped 13 of 14 for the win. [url=gerald-coleman]Gerald Coleman[/url] allowed 2 goals on 13 shots in the first half of the contest for the loss, giving way to [url=jonathan-boutin]Jonathan Boutin[/url] who allowed 1 goal on 9 shots. In the matchup between the team's presumed 3rd and 4th lines, Team Blue prevailed 5-4 over Team Red. The Craig/Karlsson/Alexeev line came out firing accounting for 4 goals on the day led by Nikita Alexeev's 5 point effort on 2 goals and 3 assists. [url=adam-henrich]Adam Henrich[/url] also chipped in a goal for Team Blue. Team Red was led by [url=norm-milley]Norm Milley's[/url] 1 goal and 2 assist day with Tim Taylor notching 2 goals and [url=marek-kvapil]Marek Kvapil[/url] scoring the team's other marker. [url=karri-ramo]Karri Ramo[/url] stopped 22 of 26 shots for the win. Marc Denis allowed 5 goals on 25 shots in the loss.

Dynamo Slips Past CSKASubmitted by pete on September 16, 2006 - 12:23
In the lone game on Saturday's Superleague schedule, Dynamo scorred two goals in the final 5 minutes of the third period to defeat CSKA 3-2. Lightning prospect Albert Vishnyakov was a scratch in the game. Vishnyakov caught the Lightning organization's notice last season as he was one of the Superleague's leading goal scorers through the first half of the season, but a car accident and subsequent personnel moves in Moscow ahead of Vishnyakov on the depth chart have slowed the young forward's development.

Nick Tarnasky, Iron ManSubmitted by pete on September 16, 2006 - 09:00
The Lightning always remain tight lipped about who did and did not perform well during fitness testing, but [url=http://www.tbo.com/sports/lightning/MGBK5L1A5SE.html]in the Trib today [/url]they have released the top results from the team's three mile run. Once again, [url=nick-tarnasky]Nick Tarnasky[/url] showed up in peak condition and claimed the fastest time, beating the next closest Lightning player by over a full minute. The final results were: 1.) Tarnasky, 2.) [url=marek-kvapil]Marek Kvapil[/url], 3.) [url=justin-keller]Justin Keller[/url], 4.) Cory Sarich. [b]More:[/b] Crisdotero in the Times [url=http://www.sptimes.com/2006/09/16/Lightning/Cuts_set_to_come_quic.shtml]isn't afraid to name names and throw people under the bus.[/url] In the lap testing he calls out Nikita Alexeev, Luke Richardson, Doug Janik, Kvapil and Vaclav Prospal as the team's best performers. The "laggers" were Brandon Elliot and Marek Bartanus, both of whom may now face reassignment quickly. According to Crisdotero's column the team is planning to make cuts by Tuesday prior to a road trip for their first exhibition games. Also of note, [url=darren-reid]Darren Reid[/url]'s challenge for a job in Tampa may be in serious jeopardy. He may be held out of scrimmages beginning today due to a slight groin pull he suffered during fitness testing.

There's been a lot of talk about who will be handling the Season 2 writing duties on the hit AMC series "The Walking Dead" based upon the Robert Kirkman zombie comic epic, but never anything as interesting as this.
According to IGN during the C2E2 show in Chicago today, actress Laurie Holden, who plays "Andrea" on the series, let it slip that none other than the great Stephen King is in talks to pen an episode of "The Walking Dead" in Season 2.
Also coming out of the show it was mentioned that series creator Frank Darabont will indeed be directing an episode himself, just not the first one.
Stay tuned for more on "The Walking Dead" soon.

Chinese official seeks Hong Kong cooperation over Shanghai FTZ
Published on Jan 13, 2014 10:26 PM
HONG KONG (AFP) - Shanghai's vice mayor on Monday urged cooperation from Hong Kong over China's ambitious new free-trade zone, saying its potential to boost growth will offset any competitive threat to the former British colony.
The FTZ in Shanghai, launched in September, will allow unfettered exchange of China's yuan currency as part of a bold push to reform the world's second largest economy.
But the zone has been seen as a threat to Hong Kong's free economy and its status as a finance hub, with fears that capital might flow out to the FTZ.
Observers have said that it could be a warning by Beijing to dampen political protests in Hong Kong, a semi-autonomous region of China.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
"Brother Sport (Live)"
This shimmering, shrieking orgasmatron of a blisstide—ostensibly, I guess, about encouraging one's brother to pursue the sporting life with indefatigable vigor but really just about melting my face over and over again—wholly embodies the euphoria surrounding Obama's possible candidacy. Oughta be an easy lay-up. Swoosh?
"I'm Cold"
On this track from his new The Block Obama mixtape, this Long Beach MC refers to the street hustler's consummate cool—an alleged negative of Obama's that his detractors like to harp on. They're projecting, of course, mistaking a calm confidence that's reassuringly presidential for above-it-all intellectual indifference. That sort of tarring scans better with the masses than racial epithets, but God willing, it won't get John McCain elected.
DJ GREEN LANTERN feat. DAVID BANNER, BUSTA RHYMES, AND TALIB KWELI
"Black President"
They appropriate an Obama sample that ends in a "Yes we can" echo, then (rightly?) celebrate the likelihood that he'll be cooling his heels in the Oval Office in a few months. Banner: "We just wanna see the kids smile and see a black president walk down the damn aisle of the White House." Busta: "Every single time he lock another town/Victorious with the vote, he give his wife a pound." Talib hails O as being like "the first black explorer," but also, as befits his relative worldliness, gives Green Party hopeful Cynthia McKinney a shout-out. Classy!
"I'm Having a Relapse"
Almost exactly four years ago, Shady dropped eff-Bush Anthrax envelope "Mosh" in a failed effort to make John Kerry our commander-in-chief. This time around—in advance of a new album that doesn't have a solid release date yet—he doesn't even waste his breath on politics, instead poking typically goth fun at his own addictions over the last few years. Not a bad idea, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
"Lyman Place"
This phenomenal pair works from a sopping wet, improv-funk template here, thickening Reid's tittering stick work and Hebden's magic box of electronic samples into a savory roux. Their thrumming mind-meld throbs, expanding in size and volume, taxing along some conceptual airport runway—a sonic representation of a revolutionary movement incrementally taking flight, headed for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

UPDATED 4:15 p.m. Wednesday
A small brush fire was reported near County Fire Station 80 in Acton and firefighters have knocked down the blaze after it burned just short of one hour.
Firefighters report that the fire consumed just short of five acres of medium brush, stopping at a ridge line in the area. The fire burned near Camp 11 and was fought by both Los Angeles County Fire units and those from Angeles National Forest.
CHP units blocked traffic on Soledad Canyon Road for firefighting purposes and film crews working within the containment were evacuated for their safety. The area burned included brush above Soledad Canyon Road between Soledad and the freeway just south of Agua Dulce Canyon Road.
