Newmont Signs Agreement with Indonesia's Central Government for Sale of Final Divestiture Stake
DENVER, May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) ("Newmont" or the "Company") announced that a definitive agreement was signed on Friday, May 6, 2011 between its subsidiary and an agency of the Indonesian Government's Ministry of Finance for the sale and purchase of the final 7% divestiture stake in PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara ("PTNNT"), as required under the terms of PTNNT's Contract of Work with the Indonesian Government. PTNNT operates the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine in Indonesia.
Nusa Tenggara Partnership B.V. ("NTPBV"), which holds Newmont's shares in PTNNT together with shares held by a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan, entered into the agreement with Pusat Investasi Pemerintah ("PIP"). The Government of Indonesia designated PIP as the buyer for the final 7% interest by exercising a right of first refusal set out in the Contract of Work. Upon closing of the transaction, expected later this month, NTPBV's interest in PTNNT will be reduced to 49%, as required under the Contract of Work. The price agreed for the 7% stake is approximately $246.8 million.
Newmont's economic interest in PTNNT following the closing of the transaction will be 44.56%, which includes direct ownership of 27.56% and a 17% effective economic interest through financing arrangements with existing shareholders. Newmont expects to continue to consolidate PTNNT in its consolidated financial statements after the sale is completed.
"With the signing of this transaction, we have successfully fulfilled our divestiture obligations," said Richard O'Brien, Newmont's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased to welcome PIP as a shareholder in PTNNT as this will result in all levels of the Indonesian government -regional, provincial and central – participating in the ownership of PTNNT and, combined with our existing shareholders, will create a mutually beneficial partnership as we evaluate exploration and expansion opportunities for our Indonesian assets."
The divestiture process for PTNNT commenced in 2006, leading to acquisition of the first 24% stake by PT Multi Daerah Bersaing ("MDB"), a consortium of two regional governments, the provincial government, and PT Bumi Resource Minerals. Upon closing of the transaction with PIP, ownership in PTNNT will be 49% held by NTPBV, 24% held by MDB, 17.8% held by PT Pukuafu Indah, 7% held by PIP, and 2.2% held by PT Indonesia Masbaga Investama.

UN: Syrian refugees overwhelm Jordan camp
Hyde said the influx to the camp means more showers, toilets, shelters, and schools need to be built. And more refugees also means a rising demand for water in Jordan, already the fourth most water scarce country in the world. She described the sharp increase in refugees as "daunting."
"You can see that many children at Zaatari - called the `kids' camp' because they make up the greatest numbers here - don't have socks or even shoes in the dead of winter," she said as children played on swings and slides nearby.
Hyde said 24,000 Syrian refugee children entered Jordan in the past month alone - the highest number ever.
"This means that we need to be building a new school immediately," she said, expressing hope that a new one could be constructed by mid-February.
Classes are to resume at the existing school on Feb. 5, but desperate refugees moved in earlier this month because howling winter winds blew their tents down and others were flooded. They say they are still awaiting alternative accommodations. Other camp residents have started jokingly describing the school as "occupied territory."
"We've had officials come and visit - even the Bahraini government who built the school - and still no one has responded to our needs for new housing," said Abu Mohamed, a 35-year-old businessman who is staying in the school where about two dozen people share a single classroom partitioned by rows of desks.
"They haven't given us heaters, tents or trailers," said the man who fled fighting in the Syrian capital, Damascus, with his family of four. "Rain is forecast again. Doctors tell us at the camp hospital that our children are sick from the cold."
Anne Richard, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for population, refugees and migration, says that as more Syrians pour out of their homeland, more countries are needed to contribute assistance.
Last year, the U.S. contributed $220 million to assist Syrian refugees. Speaking Monday in the Jordanian capital, Richard said the U.S. would announce additional funding for Syria at the conference in Kuwait, but declined to provide details.
Another Abu Walid, 46, from the southern Syrian town of Dara'a, said that as much as he and the other refugees need the aid, what they really want is an end to nightmarish killing, rape and shelling back home. His 16-year-old son was killed in Syria by shrapnel from artillery tank fire as he walked home from work.
"We want this awful crisis to end and to return home," said the slender man, a wool scarf tied around his neck to ward off the cold.
"The world is sleeping. It's failing us. ... How can it continue to turn its back on us every day as more and more are killed inside Syria?"

HOUSTON (ICIS)--Plastic pipe demand is expected to grow by 8.5% annually through 2017 to 11.2bn metres on increased spending in construction across all global regions, according to a market research study announced on Thursday.
The rebound in the US market, replacement of other materials, low cost of plastics, installation ease and performance advantages will provide additional support for the growth of plastic pipe, the Cleveland-based industry research firm The Freedonia Group said in its study.
Although polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is by far the most widely used pipe resin with more than 55% of global plastic pipe demand in 2012, high density polyethylene (HDPE) is expected to take market share from PVC in a variety of construction applications.
The recovery in the US construction industry and the construction market in China, the largest in the world, will contribute greatly to growth of plastic pipe, Freedonia said.

- General background
- Fundamental processes involved in the interaction of radiation with matter
- Secondary effects of radiation
- Tertiary effects of radiation on materials
- Biologic effects of ionizing radiation
- Biologic effects of non-ionizing radiation
- Applications of radiation
Photographic process
One of the most important effects of radiation on matter is seen in photographic action. Apart from its various uses in art, commerce, and industry, photography is an invaluable scientific tool. It is used extensively in spectroscopy, in photometry, and in X-ray examinations. Also, photographic emulsion techniques have been widely used in the detection and characterization of high-energy charged particles. It is important to note that all speculation regarding the primary phenomena involves the notion that, in an energy absorption process, either direct or sensitized, a chloride (or other halide) ion in a silver halide lattice loses an electron. That electron is thereafter captured by a silver ion located at such a point in the lattice that under suitable conditions of exposure and development a silver grain grows to a size representative of the duration and intensity of the light exposure.
Ionization and chemical change
Earlier in this section, the ionization phenomenon was briefly discussed as a special case of molecular activation. The ionization process, however, does have certain characteristic features. Most notably, the probabilities (or cross sections) for ionization by light (photoionization) and for ionization by charged-particle impact are different in magnitude and in lowest—radiation—energy of occurrence (i.e., threshold behaviour) for the same atom or molecule. The photoionization cross section shows abrupt onset (i.e., a step behaviour) to a high value at threshold, falling thereafter only gradually with increase of photon energy. Electron-impact ionization in simple atoms (such as hydrogen and helium) begins at the ionization potential, increases in direct proportion to the energy near the threshold, and shows a peak at an incident energy of about 100–200 eV. With molecules the behaviour is similar except that the peak is broad and much less pronounced. When the incident energy is high and the ejected electron has kinetic energy (energy of motion) largely in excess of its binding energy, the cross section for the process approaches a limit called the classical Rutherford value, after the British physicist Ernest Rutherford.
In general, the initial processes resulting from the action of high-energy radiation on matter involve the intermediate production and participation of positive ions (both stable and unstable), electrons, negative ions, excited species, and free radicals and atoms, which in turn may enter into the processes of classical reaction kinetics.
Ordinary low-energy (or optical) processes usually involve only excited species and free radicals and atoms—all formed by processes that do not involve outright transfer of electric charge (i.e., electrons) between different atoms and molecules.
The important feature that characterizes the chemistry both of optical processes (photochemistry) and of high-energy radiation (radiation chemistry) is that they are conveniently employed and their kinetics studied at room temperature and lower.
There are two "laws" of photochemistry. The first, the Grotthuss–Draper law (named for the chemists Christian J.D.T. von Grotthuss and John W. Draper), is simply: for light to produce an effect upon matter it must be absorbed. The second, or Stark–Einstein law (for the physicists Johannes Stark and Albert Einstein), in its most modern form is: one resultant primary physical or chemical act occurs per photon absorbed. The quantum yield of a particular species of product is the number of moles of that product divided by the number of einsteins of light (units of 6.02 × 1023 photons)—or the number of molecules of product per photon—absorbed. In the ideal case the quantum yield, frequently denoted by the Greek letters gamma, γ, or phi, Φ, is unity. In real cases, Φ may approach zero on the one hand—particularly if a back reaction is involved—or it may be of the order of 1,000,000, in which case the primary product may start a chain reaction, as in a clean, dry mixture of hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl). In the following chemical equations each symbol for an element stands for one atom, and the number of atoms bonded into a molecule is given as a subscript following the symbol, while the number of molecules precedes the formula; the arrow indicates the course of the reaction:
in which reactions 2 and 3 reoccur repeatedly in a chain reaction. The symbol →hν may be read "when a photon of light frequency, symbolized by the Greek letter nu, ν (which is always stipulated), is absorbed, gives." Because h is Planck's constant of action (approximately 6.6 × 10-27 erg second) and ν is expressed in reciprocal seconds (i.e., second-1), the product hν indicates the energy absorbed per photon. Some reactions may give two primary products; e.g.,
In that case, there are different quantum yields for each of the primary reactions, and the ratio of those yields varies with the frequency, ν, of the light absorbed.

Nebula Nominee Author's Lost Pulp Saga of Man Ordered to Kill the Woman He Loves to Save Earth! This volume contains the final two stories in Nebula Award nominee writer Ross Rocklynne's lost pulp science fiction series, Hallmeyer--Destroyer of Worlds. As with the first volume of this series, all the stories are reprinted for the first time in more than sixty years. The second Hallmeyer tale in this volume, "The Bubble Dwellers," has the distinction of being both the only novel-length work in the series and the final story, bringing the saga to an unexpectedly satisfying conclusion. In Slaves of the Ninth Moon, undercover Jobs, too dirty and tough for the IPF, had always been Hallmeyer's tasks. But never, in even his wildest dreams, had he thought that to fulfill his mission he would have to murder the woman he loved. Then in his final adventure, The Bubble Dwellers, Hallmeyer finds the perfect woman for the happy ending he needs--if she doesn't kill him first! The hell-planet of Vulcan had spawned a deadly menace that might entrap the civilized worlds. Only Sydney Hallmeyer could halt that force, only he could stop the fiendish Zondat--and he was helpless, a slave laborer of the man he fought, condemned for life to Vulcan's depths!

First impressions:
Graphics: A
Everything looks great. Good stuff. I am running a 9800 pro 256mb, 3.2ghz, 1gb ram. I took recommended setting except i bumped up antialise from 0 to 2. I get stutters often, especially when it "loads" creatures up. As noted, the characters look awesome. I do get some graphic glitchs where tiny white lines often edge objects. But I can deal with those because the rest of the presentation is top notch.
Story: B
I do not know what the hell is going on. I know I am well known and people are helping me out. That I am in an "oppressed" world. But I do not know what has happened or anything about the world in general. I do not feel like i have any goal or overridding purpose.
Gameplay: C
Too much driving. This is an FPS. Not a FPD(river). To put it simply, they put too much driving in this game. It detracts from the overall game in my opinion. I just reached the buggy level and drove around a bit (trying to jump a ramp) and I already loathe it. Bleh! They should have stuck more with the basics instead of all this driving crap. It really brings this game down from great to mediocre for me.
Overall i give it a solid B up to this point. I suspect after more of this stupid ass driving level my score will drop even further. Hate it.

How can I get my baby to sleep without swaddling him?
My 5-month-old loves being swaddled -- in fact, she won't sleep otherwise. How can we kindly help her kick the habit? Our pediatrician told us to put her in her crib and let her cry it out, but this seems pretty harsh. Is there a less drastic method? She's getting too big for her blankets and she kicks out of the ones we have.

My daughter is 4 1/2 months and she loves to be swaddled. She is not good at sleeping without it since she startles herslef all the time. I have tried over the past few days at nap time not to swaddle without any luck. So today after reading a suggestion- I took a sleep sack and pinned the armholes to get her used to her arms not being so tight, but to keep them from hitting herself in the face. She whined for about 10 minutes, not a fuul cry. I knew she was tired so I let her try to settle in this way. After 10 minutes I was about to get her since she didn't seem to quiet down and wouldn't you know- as I opened her bedroom door- SHE FELL ASLEEP! I have been terrified of all the sleep we would be losing when we stopped swaddling but I think this will be a nice trasition. I am going to sit and watch her a few times and see when she stops startling and then start putting her arms back through the sleep sack holes and hope for the best. Good luck.posted 01/30/2009 by stacibeth
Our 2 year old son loved being swaddled - the only thing blanket that worked long-term was the AMAZING miracle blanket. He was able to easily Houdini his way out of anything with velcro. He was swaddled til about 9 months. We transitioned out of it by first leaving his feet out. When he was sleeping well (a few days & nights) we started leaving one arm out. It took him a little longer to start sleeping well again, but after a few nights it kept getting easier and easier for him to sleep. Eventually we just wrapped his body up to give him the secure sensation we think he liked. After a week or so, he was ok to sleep without a swaddle blanket at all. Our daughter is 3 1/2 months and wrestles her way out of that darn miracle blanket every night, no matter how snugly she is wrapped. Just now I put her down for a nap with one arm out. So far, so good. Best of luck, it can be stressful to think your baby might not sleep as well as they have been. But he/she will figure it out!posted 10/20/2008 by wiscogrl
we use a Peke Moe www.pekemoe.co.nz - specifically for transitioning baby from swaddle. Good luck and all the best!posted 04/06/2008 by PearlNZ
Breakthrough!!! We had the same problem. My 4 mo. son would only sleep if he was swaddled in his Miracle Blanket. Best thing in the world until they learn to break out of it. He would also only nap in his carseat so he felt swaddled. Can't get him to sleep any other way. Tried the sleep sack, crib toys, etc. Today my ped. recommended using an Afghan blanket to cover him. It worked perfect. I put him down for his nap and covered him in an Afghan (face, too!) Because the blanket has small holes there is proper ventilation. He can breathe fine, but still feels snug like swaddling. Give it a try- I was on my last leg until my pedi saved me! What a relief knowing I am going back to work Monday and he will get the adequate naps he needs.posted 01/22/2005 by laldtd
to Anonymous BC visitor that is bull... we cosleep with our 2 yr. old and 3 month old... they feel safe AND the 2 year old sleeps through the nite and doesn't want to nurse... i think you should read more on co-sleeping before responding about something you havent even done.posted 12/11/2003 by jayme24baby
I'm soooo in love with the Zipadee-Zip! www.zipadeezip.com. I tried everything to get my daughter to sleep without her miracle blanket and came across this because of a friend. I was really skeptical at first because it looks like every other sleep sack accept the arms are sewn shut and the normal Halo sacks didn't work on her... I finally went on their facebook page and found all these moms raving about it and I was in dire need of some serious sleep so I made the leap! She loves it ... I don't really know why but I think she has just enough resistance to feel enclosed but can still wiggle around. She actually sleeps better than she did swaddled now and can put herself to sleep!posted 06/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter is 3 weeks old and is a swaddler! Since day 1.. I bought a miracle blanket and she loves it, in the daytime I wouldnt swaddle her so she can wake up to eat, when she is fussy also colicky, I do swaddler and give her Colic Calm and works like a charm. She also fights to be swaddled and cant sleep without, some nights I dont swaddle her and she is doing just fine, but some nights I do just because she is fussy and she sleeps better.. I say it is up to your baby when they are ready they will let you know. I hate that she fights it sometimes but hey, if it helps her to sleep I will continue to swaddle. She still startles herself and wakes up. Right now she is in her crib sleeping and she isnt swaddled, I also found that she sleeps better on her sides which her ped said was fine, my 8 yr old as a baby slept on his side unswaddled at 2 mos.posted 07/12/2011 by mjjjlove
I have an 8 day old baby who is swaddle crazy! Stay away with the ones with velcro, they get out of it and can potentially scratch the baby. I bought a miracle blanket at babies r us for $25.00 and she is sleeping away at night and wakes up on time for feedings, she is also more relaxed and doesnt get startled.. I am also looking into purchasing a cooci baby sleep sack, it might be pricy but its breathable, and its made of merino fibers from New Zealand which helps regulate their body temperature...posted 06/29/2011 by mjjjlove
I am going through this exact thing right now! That, and just naps that are just too short. My girl is 3 months, fights the swaddle yet can't sleep without it, and her arms wake her up most of the time. We had some success in napping last week (we've put her in a sleep sack just for naps and still full swaddle at night) but that seems to have been a fluke. Our one saving grace is that she sleeps really well at night - 9-10 hours at a stretch. A "good" nap in her bassinet for her is 45 min. Often she won't go down at all unless I side-lie and feed her to sleep in our bed, then stay there. Then she might stay down 90 min. It helps me nap too, but I do need some time to get a few things done during the day. She gets so clearly tired - I feel bad for her when her arms just won't co-operate.posted 01/16/2012 by DanaKnits
I tried every baby product out there to transition my little girl off of her Miracle blanket... baby in a bag (her little hands and arms being free kept her awake and were cold when I'd wake her up) and the woombie (didn't give her enough room to use her arms to flip back over once she was on her belly) and the Zipadee-Zip. The Zipadee-Zip was the only thing that finally worked after weeks of being exhausted trying everything else I could think of to get her to sleep unswaddled! It was the perfect balance between being enclosed and still having the freedom of movement she needed. My little one loves it and it worked the first time I tried it! :) I found it on www.zipadeezip.com. The woman that came up with these things was so super sweet and helpful too... I'm telling all my girlfriends about this thing!posted 12/19/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

Text of measure
Ballot language
The ballot language that voters saw on their ballot read:[2]
|Authorizing the enactment of legislation to limit the right to a jury trial in a civil proceeding to those proceedings in which the amount in controversy exceeds $15,000.
(Amending Maryland Declaration of Rights – Articles 5(a) and 23)
Under Articles 5 and 23 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights, a party in a civil proceeding has a right to a jury trial where the amount in controversy exceeds $10,000. In cases where the amount in controversy does not exceed this threshold amount, a judge, rather than a jury, determines the verdict. The constitutional amendment would increase the amount-in-controversy limitation by providing that a party may not demand a jury trial in a civil proceeding unless the amount in controversy exceeds $15,000, excluding attorney's fees if attorney's fees are recoverable in the proceeding.
For the Constitutional Amendment
Against the Constitutional Amendment [3]
The summary of the amendment read:[4]
|Increasing from more than $10,000 to more than $15,000, the amount in controversy in civil proceedings in which the right to a trial by jury may be limited by legislation; and submitting the constitutional amendment to the qualified voters of the State for their adoption or rejection.
Fiscal note
The following was the fiscal summary of the measure, as stated by the Maryland General Assembly:[5]
If approved by the General Assembly, this constitutional amendment will be submitted to the voters at the 2010 general election. It is not expected to result in additional costs for local election boards.
There was no known supporting campaign for Question 2.
- According to Lynda Lambert, a college English instructor, in a column published by the Baltimore Chronicle and Sentinel, looked at both sides of the issue. She stated, "As someone who hates being called for jury duty in any case, I can see where raising this limit could help take some of the pressure off the need for so many jurors."[6]
There was no known opposing campaign for Question 2.
- According to Lynda Lambert, a college English instructor, in a column published by the Baltimore Chronicle and Sentinel, looked at both sides of the issue. She stated, "...as someone who would not have $10,000 if someone sued me for that amount, I'm pretty certain I'd like the option to bring in a jury if I didn't like the cut of the judge's jib."[6]
Path to the ballot
The measure was first introduced to the Maryland State Senate on January 15, 2010, and was eventually passed with a vote of 32-13 on February 25, 2010. The measure was then sent to the Maryland House of Representatives and read for the first time on February 26, 2010 and was passed with a vote of 108-30 on April 1, 2010. Placing a proposed amendment on the ballot must be approved by a 60% vote of each chamber of the Maryland State Legislature. Maryland is one of nine states that allow a referred amendment to go on the ballot after this process.[7]

POINT PLEASANT — The unofficial results from the race for delegates in the 13th district are in, and for the Republicans it was a close one.
According to the West Virginia Secretary of State's website, incumbent Scott Cadle was the clear top vote-getter with 936 votes. Following Cadle is Tim Gibson with 693 votes and Michael Ihle with 683 — a difference of only 10 votes.
Also, Nathan "Nate" Westfall received 622 votes. At least for now, it appears the GOP candidates for the general election are Cadle and Gibson.
For the Democrats in the 13th district, Joshua Martin was the top vote getter with 1,205, followed by Josh McGrath with 817 and Rosalee Juba-Plumley with 737. So Martin and McGrath advance to the general election for the Democrats.
In the 14th district, Incumbent Jim Butler (R) will face off against Johnny Roach (D).

REPORT: Suzuki to put hydrogen two-wheelers into production
Filed under: Hydrogen, Suzuki, On Two Wheels
Suzuki and Intelligent Energy have been working on hydrogen fuel cell-powered two-wheelers for the last few years, with the Crosscage, their first public concept, debuting back in 2007 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Then, earlier this year, we heard rumblings that Suzuki hoped to have its first production hydrogen cycle ready within the next 12 months.
Falling right in line with those expectations, Suzuki unveiled a new concept just last week at the most recent show in Tokyo, and instead of using a pie-in-the-sky motorcycle chassis with single-sided suspension bits that have little chance of actual production, the Japanese company placed its proprietary fuel cell and storage system in a regular old Burgman scooter.
Now, Wired reports that we can expect these hydrogen two-wheelers in production in very short order. Says Dr. Henri Winand, CEO of Intelligent Energy, "These clean fuel cell engine-powered motorcycles are not simply for motor shows, and can be widely available to everyone in the near future."
If that does indeed take place, as cool as the Crosscage may be, we'd expect the initial offering to take a form similar to the conceptual Burgman scooter. We'll know for sure soon enough.

He may have rubbed shoulders with world-class drivers, but Narain Karthikeyan – India's Formula One (F1) poster boy – doesn't have plans to return to F1. He is content oiling his engine for the Japanese Championship Super Formula 2014 starting April 13.
"I never say never but F1 is a complicated business now. I am happy doing what I am doing because the satisfaction is the same or more, and there is also a chance to win," says Karthikeyan, who secured four pole positions and finished fourth in the Auto GP World Series last year.
Super Formula, earlier known as Formula Nippon, has been on track since 1973, and drivers like Michael Schumacher, Eddie Irvine et al have also competed in the event. Similar to the 2014 F1 regulations, the V8 engines will be replaced by two-litre, 550 bhp turbocharged engines. Karthikeyan will be driving for Team Impul Hoshino Racing.
So is he wary of the tracks in Japan? "The circuits are not for the faint-hearted. There will be eight races in five tracks. Though we will barely get an hour to practice before the qualifying round, it is not much of a concern for we are experienced," adds the 37-year-old.
The cars driven in the Super Formula aren't that different from the F1 ones. They cars can speed upto 300 kmph with a fuel stop.
"I never imagined the cars could be as fast as an F1 car. The difference is only five to six seconds. The contenders are strong and the level, very high. And as far as I heard, there might be live telecasts so it is a good thing for the fans here," he said.
Talking about the new F1 rules and the Red Bull threatening to quit, Karthikeyan said: "Engine rules are relevant to road cars. I also heard other manufacturers who left F1 in 2009, are planning to get back. Talking about Red Bull, I don't think they will quit."
The racer, who is from the family of motorsports enthusiasts— his father being a former Indian national rally champion— is saddened with the state of affairs concerning Indian Grand Prix.
"I met Sameer Gaur (CEO, Jaypee Sports) on Sunday and he is still confident that the race may come back," he says.
But it is a fact that races, once off the circuit, has not returned. Mexican Grand Prix (1962-1992) and French Grand Prix (1906-2008) can be taken as examples and Karthikeyan agrees to that but he says, "India is different, it is a new market."
"The future of F1 in India depends whether it comes back. There are a lot of venues. There should be an effort to bring it back. India needs it," he adds.
When asked whether a change in the UP government can benefit F1, the racer said: "You can never say with politicians here. You never know what will happen. But they should take it as a world-class sport as it is and not entertainment. All our neighbours, China, Singapore have it. It is a high-profile event watched by millions. They should look at it from that point of view," he said.
Before signing off, he expressed grief about Michael Schumacher's condition, "It's very unfortunate for something like this to happen to a fellow sportsperson. It is a bad feeling."

Report: T-Wolves making run at Gasol
The Minnesota Timberwolves are trying hard to land Pau Gasol.
If they have to part with the highest draft choice in franchise history after just one season, the Wolves appear ready to do it.
That much became clear leading up to the NBA draft on Thursday, when Minnesota offered Derrick Williams in hopes of landing the second pick from the Charlotte Bobcats to help get Gasol from the Los Angeles Lakers, two people with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press.
The people requested anonymity because the talks were meant to remain private. The deal never came together before the draft began, and the Bobcats stayed at No. 2 and took Kentucky forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
The Timberwolves are expected to continue their pursuit of Gasol in hopes of putting him with fellow Spaniard Ricky Rubio and Kevin Love on a revamped roster aimed at returning the team to the playoffs for the first time since 2004.
The Wolves' interest in Gasol has long been rumored, with the highly skilled big man considered an ideal fit for coach Rick Adelman's corner offense, and the kind of playoff-tested veteran needed on one of the youngest rosters in the NBA. He's close friends with Rubio, the Wolves' superb young point guard who is recovering from a torn ACL and hopes to be ready early next season.
Gasol has teamed with Kobe Bryant to win two titles in Los Angeles, but always seemed to catch the brunt of the criticism when things went wrong.
EMOTIONAL NIGHTSee the best NBA draft photos.
That happened again this year when he averaged just 12.5 points along with 9.5 rebounds in the playoffs, and the Lakers were eliminated in the second round by the younger, quicker Oklahoma City Thunder. He often appeared to get lost in the shuffle while Bryant and Andrew Bynum got most of the touches on offense.
He was the subject of trade rumors all season, starting before it began when Commissioner David Stern, operating as owner of the New Orleans Hornets, nixed a deal that would have sent Gasol to Houston as part of a package for Chris Paul to the Lakers.
''It has been a crazy year and a lot to deal with. ... Unfortunately, we had tough losses and things didn't really go our way for the most part,'' the four-time All-Star said at the end of the season. ''You just have to regroup and digest this loss and this season, and learn from it and move on.''
Gasol is due to make more than $38 million over the next two seasons, an enormous sum that the salary cap-strapped Lakers might have difficulty footing under the harsher luxury tax penalties scheduled to kick in in 2013.
Love's max contract extension kicks in next season, making him the only Timberwolves player who is expected to be on the roster next season making more than $4.6 million. If the Wolves buy out Martell Webster and decline to tender qualifying offers to Michael Beasley and Anthony Randolph, as expected, they should have plenty of cap room for Gasol.
But if they want to bring him in to play alongside Love in the frontcourt, it likely will come at a hefty price. Offering Williams, the second overall pick last season who showed promise and inconsistency in his rookie year, means the Wolves would be giving up on him after just one season. The 21-year-old Williams has plenty of potential to grow into the star that many projected when he entered the draft after his sophomore season at Arizona.
Gasol will turn 32 next week and played nearly 39,000 minutes in his career, raising the question if he has enough gas left in the tank to help turn the Timberwolves into a legitimate contender.
Williams knows the Wolves tried to deal him, but it's unclear how he will respond if he's still on the team at the start of training camp.
He averaged 8.8 points and 4.7 rebounds and was the only Timberwolves player to play in all 66 games last season. Williams had several big games during an inconsistent season, which included participating in the slam dunk contest during All-Star weekend. He scored 27 points in 27 minutes in a win over the Clippers in Los Angeles on Feb. 28 and had 27 points and eight boards in a loss at Denver on April 11.
But the 66-year-old Adelman has been pushing for the franchise to add more veterans, and he grew impatient at times with Williams last season.
Williams did most of his damage while playing power forward, which is the same position played by Love, who blossomed last year into a surprising MVP contender. With Love playing so many minutes at power forward, the Timberwolves were hoping Williams could drop some weight this summer to help him become quick enough to play small forward for the majority of the time.
Earlier this week, Kahn said Williams was already down to 233 pounds, with a personal goal of 225.
''I think the most important fact about Derrick to me is that he turned 21 last month. He's still very, very young,'' Kahn said Wednesday. ''This is a very important summer for him to demonstrate if he's serious about his craft, his occupation, that he's serious about himself. This is the offseason. I challenged him in his exit interview, and I'm eager to see the results of this summer.''
Kahn declined to list Williams with Rubio and Love as ''untouchable'' players when the team considers trades this summer.
''We have two untouchables,'' Kahn said. ''That doesn't mean everyone else will be traded this summer. We just don't know.''

'His Credit Crunch or Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?' - By Aatifa Khan. 'Andy Bradshaw, aged 44, has lived here since he walked from Skegness 5 years ago. It took 15 hours. During the heavy snows this winter he sheltered in pub/nightclub doorways, and sometimes girls on a night out would give him money for food. He'd prefer money for a hostel, but it can take two or more days to get the balance for one night. A £2.99 meal, seemingly cheap, is unattainable when it is a precious quarter of the price of a night's board. It is a crime that a doorway can be both a man's home and his livelihood.'

5.4-quake shakes Bohol, Cebu anew
More News from Kristine Angeli Sabillo
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – A 5.4 magnitude quake hit Bohol and Cebu anew on Monday morning, the strongest aftershock in the last four days recorded by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs).
Phivolcs detected the 5.4 magnitude earthquake 37 kilometers northeast of Tagbilaran City with a depth of 10 kilometers at 7:03 a.m. Monday.
It was the second strongest recorded aftershock of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that shook Bohol and other provinces on October 15, following the 5.5 magnitude tremor last Thursday.
A Phivolcs report said the recent quake was felt at Intensity V in San Isidro, Bohol, Intensity IV in Metro Cebu and Intensity III in Tagbilaran, Bohol.
As of Monday 4 a.m., 2,193 aftershocks were recorded with 46 felt in Bohol and other affected provinces, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said in its recent report.
Phivolcs earlier said the aftershocks should not be a cause of panic for residents, saying that smaller-magnitude tremors are normal after a major earthquake.

BCCI to formulate guidelines for uniform maintenance of pitches
Seven turf wickets to be laid at main Mangalagiri stadium Selection of the right clay is the most challenging task
VIJAYAWADA: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to introduce uniform guidelines that will be applicable to all State cricket associations in respect of maintenance of pitches, according to BCCI curator (South) P. R. Viswnathan.
Speaking to The Hindu at the site of the exclusive stadium of the Andhra Cricket Association, at Amaravathi Township (Mangalagiri) near here on Saturday, Mr. Viswanathan said most of the curators often used various kinds of rollers at their will, thus tampering the texture of the pitch.
"Groundsmen use rollers with different weights like heavy, middle and light. They should know what kind of roller should be used and for how long. Indiscreet usage will harm the turf," he pointed out.
Turf variety
Mr. Viswanathan spent some time at the site overseeing the preparation of the pitch, which is at an advanced stage. He disclosed that seven turf wickets would be laid at the main stadium at Mangalagiri, and another three would be laid at the second stadium coming up adjacent to the main one. "There will also be seven practice turfs at the eastern corner of the stadium. By monsoon all turf wickets, outfield and fencing would be over. We would be using Bermuda G2 grass for the sprucing up the outfield," he said.
The ACA, he pointed out, had sunk in three bore wells and constructed a sump to store water upto Rs.1 lakh litres. "We are also installing around 52 sprinklers for the watering of the outfield once the stadium comes to operation," Mr. Viswanathan said.
He said the BCCI had factored in the recommendations obtained from Australia and South Africa in the new guidelines. Selection of the right clay is the most challenging task for a curator in the preparation of a wicket. "The bounce and the turn of the ball depends upon the clay used," he revealed.
Mr. Viswanathan said soon the BCCI would come up with a proposal to revamp all the turf wickets at both the Ranji and Test centres with an aim to make them "over grassy".
Mr. Viswanathan, who was instrumental in sprucing up many turf wickets in South India and the Andhra Cricket Association's zone, also supervised development of a couple of wickets himself. "Among all associations in South India, the ACA is very active in spreading the game to all its affiliated districts," he observed.

Rustenburg - England goalkeeper David James has returned to training, providing the team with a boost a day after captain Rio Ferdinand was ruled out of the World Cup through injury.

Ferdinand's squad replacement, Tottenham center back Michael Dawson, was to meet up with the team after flying into Johannesburg on Saturday morning.

Binga's personality is far more typical of a tortie, Isabella! Although when it comes to the "redhead" thing, my human claims I have a touch of that too.

Oh, I missed that post, but I went back to read it. GASP! What a jerk! I think I would have said something to my regular vet that I didn't like the care I received last time.
We just switched vets because the one we went to started to get that way. We can't have our kitties being offended like that! Sheesh.

- Grace said... February 5, 2013 at 7:58 AM
I didn't know tortie's had a "reputation" - generalities about kitties are about the same as generalities about humans - silly. (Except for the one about orange stripped kitties only coming in one size - huge. That one is true.)
- The Army of Four said... February 5, 2013 at 8:47 AM
Umm... what does she mean by that redheaded comment? Ha roo roo roo!!!!

Supreme Court Affirms Right to Informational Privacy, But Says Privacy Act Safeguards Sufficient for NASA Records
The Supreme Court has issued a decision in NASA v. Nelson, a case brought by NASA scientists who argued that the government's invasive background checks violated the Constitution. The Supreme Court found that the inquiries implicate "a privacy interest of Constitutional significance" but that the requests were reasonable and that the information would be protected under the Privacy Act. Writing in concurrence, Justice Scalia said the Court's opinion "will dramatically increase the number of lawsuits claiming violations of the right to informational privacy." EPIC authored a amicus brief, cosigned by 27 technical experts and legal scholars, which highlighted problems with the Privacy Act, including the "routine use" exception, security breaches, and the agency's authority to carve out its own exceptions.

DBS Bank reports net profit of $810 million for Q2
Published on Aug 3, 2012 10:33 AM
DBS Bank reported a second quarter net profit of $810 million, up 10 per cent from the same period a year ago.
Correspondingly, net interest income was up 10 per cent to $1.3 billion, on the back of a 22 per cent increase in loans, with the expansion spread across regions and with trade finance accounting for half of the increase. However, these gains were partially offset by lower net interest margins, or a measure of the profitability of loans, which fell from 1.80 per cent to 1.72 per cent.
Non-interest income fell 3 per cent to $621 million, with net fee and commission income down 2 per cent to $379 million and other non-interest income falling 4 per cent to $242 million.
While fee income from trade, remittances, and cards were higher, and income and treasury customer flows were up, there was a decline in investment banking fee income, stockbroking commissions and trading gains as a result of dislocations in the financial markets.

|Related: ZERO DARK THIRTY, Box Office,
Zero Dark Thirty officially captured the number one spot at this weekend's box office. Kathryn Bigelow's film over-performed, taking in $24 million, after expanding across the county, its 'Best Picture' Oscar nomination - and the intense criticism it's received.
Many claim THIRTY advocates and promotes the use of torture in matters of international security, particularly the role it played in the manhunt for Osama bin Laden. Sony and Bigelow, however, do not agree.
The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including 'Best Picture' and its leading lady, Jessica Chastain, for 'Best Actress.'
Directed and co-produced by Kathryn Bigelow with a screenplay by Mark Boal, both associated with The Hurt Locker, also features Chris Pratt, James Gandolfini, Joel Edgerton, EdgaR Ramirez, and Mark Strong.
Marlon Wayans' A HAUNTED HOUSE, despite its scathing reviews (it sits at just 10% on Rotten Tomatoes), came in second with a solid $18 million.
Perhaps the greatest upset of the weekend came from Warner Bros.' GANGSTER SQUAD, featuring an all star cast including Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, and Emma Stone. The studio overshot in its intitial expectation of $20 million for the weekend. GANGSTER, however, was shooting blanks with audiences, taking in only $16 million.

A threat to San Diego's economic lifeblood
K-Tube's parent, Cook Medical of Bloomington, Ind., manufactures a diverse array of products, from antibiotic-impregnated catheters and stents to aortic grafts and vascular filters. We believe that a medical device tax of this magnitude will put medical device companies, raw material suppliers like K-Tube and the hundreds of vendors across Orange County that supply the device industry at an immediate disadvantage. Foreign companies that operate out of low-tax nations will clearly have an edge.
American patients will pay the steepest price, as the search for cures will inevitably slow. Money that would have been devoted to finding cures or treatments for conditions like cancer, peripheral artery disease and diabetes must now be redirected to a tax. How many treatments will go undiscovered? How many cures will be lost?
This new tax will stifle U.S. job creation as companies will have little choice but to shift clinical trials, manufacturing and jobs to low-tax countries to remain competitive.
Fortunately, the situation is not hopeless, as more than 160 members of Congress from both parties recognize the enormity of the error in the Affordable Care Act and have co-sponsored a measure to repeal this tax: House Bill 436. More Southern California congressmen need to get on board.
Voters and public officials at all levels of government must understand our nation's most innovative industry is at risk and join in the efforts to repeal this tax.
McCune is the chief financial officer of K-Tube Technologies in Poway.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Parra vs. Hammel
Denver - Lefty Manny Parra will look to get the Brewers off on the right foot tonight in their series against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.
Here is the Brewers' lineup:
2B Rickie Weeks
RF Corey Hart
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
3B Casey McGehee
C Jonathan Lucroy
CF Carlos Gomez
SS Alcides Escobar
LHP Manny Parra
And how about this bit of news involving the Rockies: I was just told that the Rockies learned today that shortstop Troy Tulowitzki suffered a broken left wrist yesterday when he was hit by a pitch in the game in Minnesota. Tulowitzki is expected to be out 6-8 weeks. That's a pretty big blow for that club.

Will let you know CJ
So, two months on and I still can't run! Even walking hurts a little. Its the strangest injury I've ever had. Pain moves around, sometimes its the top of hip on the outside, sometimes the groin area, sometimes the front of the thigh. Putting weight on it hurts quite a bit. If I rotate my hip I get a loud clicking from the groin area which doesn't sound too good. Going to see the gp in a week to see if I can get referred or something. Any ideas of what it could be?
thanks for the advice. I'll rest it and see how it goes. I've suffered from ITB problems before but that was a pain at the side of the knee. I guess maybe its a bit tight or something so I'll give that stretch a go, thanks Cal.
day after a long run (for me) of 8 miles I felt a sharpish pain on the outside of my left thigh, about half way between knee and hip. I've run a few times since and its got a bit worse. I now have an aching pain on inner thigh near groin too (same leg). Any thoughts on what the problem could be and how I could get rid ?
cheers, stu
Thanks all for the help. The hydration tablets really work! No more calf cramps. Also I find that now its winter I don't really need them and I don't get the calf cramps, so it looks like the cause of my calf cramps is definitely a result of sweating away all the important minerals.
