A vet's advice for those leaving the service
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at email@example.com.

1. Be the best Soldier, Marine, Airman, Sailor you can be. Excelling at your current job in the service will pay dividends should you decide to separate in terms of letters of recommendation, job references, fitness reports, awards, and connections. Good battalion, company, and platoon commanders will usually vouch for proven performers without hesitation.
2. Plan ahead and give yourself as much time as possible. If you know you are leaving the service 3, 6, or 12 months from now, begin thinking about and planning for your future if you haven't already. Concentrate on "Moving On" instead of "Getting Out."
3. If you planning on going to school, determine what types of programs and degrees best suit your future plans for employment. Contact individual schools and determine application deadlines, testing requirements, and line up letters of recommendations from fellow troops or leaders in your unit. Figure out if your personal eligible level of funding for the GI Bill will cover your future living expenses. If you wish to attend a private school, investigate the Yellow Ribbon Program and find out the difference between what your VA education benefits cover and what the school costs. Investigate scholarships or aid with individual schools, and contact your preferred school's veterans coordinator immediately! They want to help you and know the ins and outs of the VA system very well. Determine if you want to go full time to school or part time, and what the differences in benefits are for the two in terms of tuition/fees paid and housing allowance given.
4. If you plan on getting a job, figure out what your living expenses are wherever you want to live and what your envisioned job's total pay and benefits are. Health care costs money in the civilian world, and many military benefits like Basic Allowance for Housing and Cost of Living Adjustments do not exist for civilian jobs. Think about what your career aspirations and goals might be and develop a personal plan that serves as a roadmap from your first post-military job to your ultimate goal.
5. If you have one, plan for your family! Think about if your spouse wants or needs to get a job. Line up day care resources for your children and think about where they will go to school. Investigate housing in your preferred relocation area in terms of cost, availability, and comfort. The military provides a lot of thinking and direction for these types of things in the service, and you will need to take the lead and figure these things out for yourself and your family without having your hand held throughout the entire process. This is especially important if you plan on pursuing higher education which could result in less income than a job might provide.
6. Write a resume and have someone you trust and respect in the civilian world review it. I wrote a military resume when I got back from my second tour in Iraq and looking back on it I cringe. In a country where 92% of the population is neither veterans nor active duty military, civilians are usually not anti-military but rather un-military. They will likely not understand your accomplishments and job descriptions. Do mention your awards, your deployments overseas, the number of troops you were in charge of, the programs you oversaw, the recognition you received. Just realize that a person with no military experience does not understand what being meritoriously promoted to sergeant in the Marine Corps means, but they understand what being in the top 1/2 of 1% of your peers means.
7. Quit using military terms and having military expectations for civilians. Old habits die hard-trust me, I know. Civilians don't go to the latrine, they use the bathroom (and don't ask permission to do so). Civilians have a language all their own and the more you can use it without resorting to military terminology or slang, the better you will fit in.
8. Get rid of the military haircut! You are a motivator with a high and tight screamer, rah? You look like an idiot to civilians. Grow your hair out a little, trust me. You can always go back to being motivator. Short hair isn't bad, but shaved sides might not be the best way to go if you are trying to blend in. Your first sergeant yelled at you every Monday for four years for not getting a haircut, enjoy the freedom!
9. Pick up the phone and start dialing old friends, high school peers and teachers, former employers, etc. Let people know that you are coming back to the world and want to see what's out there. Re-connect with your high school or college buddies, teachers and professors, and bosses to catch up. They are interested in you, and you can always ask them for advice…and possibly a recommendation letter or even job. Call them instead of e-mailing and you will be ahead of about 90% of your generation who rarely do anything beyond tweet or text.
10. Establish a support system. Whether it's family; friends; military buddies; fellow veterans; or religious, community, or veterans organizations, find something outside of school and/or work that you enjoy doing and doing with other people. In the military your squad or platoon mates had your back. It's the same in the real world, only instead of squads and platoons these things are called clubs, volunteer organizations, community groups, etc.
Not an all-encompassing list — just some things I routinely find myself advising on.

Marijuana, Pills, Over $17K in Cash Seized During Westfield Search
July 18th, 2014
WESTFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) — A Westfield man is facing several drug charges after his arrest on Wednesday.
Westfield Police Capt. Michael McCabe says that on Wednesday, investigators executed a search warrant on a Gold Street home.
Once inside, investigators seized over $17,000 in cash, some pills, including Suboxone and Clonazepam, and a freezer bag full of marijuana, according to McCabe.
Packaging material was also reportedly found during the search.
A resident at the home, 19-year-old Antonio Bottone, was arrested and charged with possession of a Class D substance (marijuana) with intent to distribute, cultivation of a Class D drug, possession of a Class B drug (Suboxone) and possession of a Class C drug (clonazapam).
No plea was entered during Bottone's arraignment Thursday in Westfield District Court. He was released on his personal recognizance.
A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for September 25.

Qassams strike near southern towns of Ashkelon and Netivot
IDF delays replacement of Gaza chief as tensions escalate; some 14 shells, rockets hit Negev.
Qassam rockets fired by Gaza militants hit near Ashkelon and Netivot on Thursday, widening the scope of cross-border violence that has threatened to unravel a shaky Israel-Hamas truce.
The rocket that struck Ashkelon hit an open area near the southern town. No one was wounded and no property damage was caused in the attacks.
Earlier Thursday, The Israel Defense Forces announced it would delay the replacement of its top Gaza commander due to recently the increased tensions on the border.
Brigadier-General Moshe (Chico) Tamir was scheduled to be replaced by Brigadier-General Eyal Eisenberg on Friday, but a military official announced that the prior's term has been extended until further notice.
Early Thursday, Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired at least five mortar shells and one Qassam rocket at the western Negev, Army Radio reported. The barrage came after Hamas threatened to avenge the shooting deaths of four of its members a day earlier on the Israel-Gaza border.
The incident began when soldiers from the IDF Paratroopers Brigade spotted the group of Palestinians moving toward the border fence near the central Gaza town of Khan Yunis.
The troops subsequently opened fire on the militants, whom the IDF said were trying to lay an explosive device near the fence.
Duing an ensuing gunbattle, a number of mortar shells were fired at the IDF troops and an explosive device was detonated, according to the army.
One IDF soldier sustained a light wound to his hand, and was taken for treatment to the Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva.
Palestinian Health Ministry official Dr. Moawiya Hassanain said ambulances later retrieved the bodies of four Hamas militants from the area of fighting. They were identified as Mahmoud Siam, Rami Farina, Mohsen al-Kudra and Ismail Abu al-Allah.
The IDF said various weapons and grenades were found on their bodies.
Hamas' military wing threatened retaliation, and within hours of the incident on Wednesday, at least six shells and two rockets exploded in the Negev. There were no injuries or damages in any of the incidents.
"The anger of our people and our resistance will reach everybody, God willing, and our response to the enemy will be painful, and will spill the Zionists' blood," the wing's spokesman, Abu Obeida, said in a statement following the gunbattle.
IDF turns to new 'security parameter' tactics
Defense sources told Haaretz on Wednesday that the army is now authorized to act within what the IDF calls the "security parameter" - a several-hundred-meter strip beyond the border fence. The troops are allowed to act only against clear threats and with the approval of a senior commander.
The fragile five-month truce began to unravel on November 4 when IDF paratroopers killed six Hamas gunmen after discovering a tunnel close to the Kisufim roadblock. Since then IDF forces have crossed the border at least twice to dismantle explosives or strike militants who tried to plant bombs near the fence.
Until last week's operation, the IDF refrained from offensive action to neutralize threats.

2003 BEST Personal Trainer
Mitch Shechtman
A good trainer knows how to get people in killer shape. A great trainer is part fitness expert, part therapist, part motivational speaker, and—let's face it—part drill sergeant. Mitch Shechtman amalgamates all of the above, and adds to the mix a solid dose of humor that takes the edge off that grueling last set of squats. His understanding of just how hard to push clients physically and mentally is a sixth sense. None of which is particularly surprising when you consider that Shechtman is head trainer at BodyScapes, a fitness center dedicated solely to the notion that bodies benefit most from one-on-one time with an expert. Just as important, though, is Shechtman's other dedication: to make workouts tough but fun.

China, DFA welcome appointment of Basilio as new PH envoy to China
More News from Fat Reyes
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – China on Wednesday welcomed the appointment of Erlinda Basilio as the Philippines' new envoy to China, saying that its country hoped that the new ambassador would contribute to the development of the two countries' bilateral relations.
"We attach importance to our relations with the Philippines. It is our hope that the early appointment of the new ambassador may facilitate the communication between both sides and the development of our bilateral relations," Zhang Hua, spokesperson of the Chinese embassy in Manila, said in a statement.
The 68-year old seasoned diplomat, who had helped draft national diplomatic policy in her stint as foreign department undersecretary, was named to the post by President Benigno Aquino III. She would take over the post left vacant at the height of tensions involving territorial disputes in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).
Basilio would be replacing Sonia Brady, who had to leave her post and return to Manila after she suffered a stroke in August.
Meanwhile, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) also backed Basilio's appointment, saying that it was confident that Basilio could carry out her task of enhancing the relationship between the Philippines and China.
In a statement, Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario noted that the department was endeavoring to significantly enhance the country's bilateral relations with China, adding that they were counting on Basilio to "play a major role in achieving our defined objectives."
"Our nominee is a seasoned senior diplomat who brings with her experience and expertise in dealing with all current matters pertaining to our relations with China. She moreover enjoys the confidence of the President," Del Rosario said in a statement.
"We are relying on her to enhance the bilateral relations between the Philippines and our very important neighbor and friend, China," DFA spokesperson Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez said in a statement.
China claims most of the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), including waters close to the shores of its neighbors. These areas include major sea lanes and are believed to hold vast mineral and oil resources.
China's claim is contested by the Philippines as well as Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam, which have overlapping claims to some or all of those same areas.
Hernandez had earlier said that Basilio would be representing the Philippines in four-way talks in Manila next week, where representatives from other claimant countries—Brunei, Malaysia, and Vietnam agreed to come to Manila on Dec. 12 to discuss their territorial disputes with China.

The second day of WikiConference India 2011 saw invited guest speaker and TV journalist Arnab Goswami lambast the notion of neutrality, one of the fundamental principles by which Wikipedia operates, before an audience consistently largely of contributors to the online encyclopedia.
"Neutrality to a lay person is having no opinion," stated Goswami, adding that neutrality today should be "honest and aggressive, not fake and contrived."
However, Wikipedians were not impressed. Achal Prabhala, member of the advisory board, Wikimedia Foundation, said. "People from all political and cultural perspectives are attracted to Wikipedia. Neutrality is not to disguise the truth or sanitise facts. It is to document all perspectives as they unfold. It is left to the person reading the page to come to an independent and reasoned conclusion."
Wikipedian Dr Krishna Kumar took a harsher stance, saying, "Wikipedia is essentially about providing a platform where personal agendas are not raised. Unfortunately, that is what has happened today."
While the Q&A continued on a polite note, every mention of neutrality for the rest of the day gave rise to amused references to the impassioned speech.

editors & contributors
write the editor
The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Mark Regnerus in an interview at Calvin College.
Sociologist Mark Regnerus's new study entitled "How Different Are the Adult Children of Parents Who Have Same-sex Relationships? Findings from the New Families Structure Study," published in Social Science Research purports to prove that children of gay and lesbian parents have adverse outcomes. But the study is so flawed as to prove nothing. Moreover, given the fact that the study was funded by ideologically-driven anti-gay foundations, the real question raised by the study has to do with whether this bad faith pseudo-scholarship violates academic ethics.
The study claims to find "numerous, consistent differences, especially between children of women who have had a lesbian relationship and those with still-married (heterosexual) biological parents." It thus attempts to debunk established scientific research that has consistently shown that gay and lesbian parents exhibit parenting skills equal to heterosexual parents.
However, as John Corvino points out in The New Republic, Regnerus does not compare "same-sex families" and "opposite-sex families," he compares broken families to intact families and pretends that he has discovered something significant when he announces that children of intact families do better on a number of measures than children of broken families.
Regnerus asked adults between ages 18 and 39 whether their mothers or fathers had ever had a same-sex relationship, regardless of the duration of the relationship and "regardless of any other household transitions." Regnerus' "Lesbian Mother" and "Gay Father" categories (unlike the "Intact Biological Family" category) included children of adoptive parents, step-parents, single parents, and, notably, a large number of divorced parents.
Regnerus's study may tell us something about the damages wrought by mixed-orientation marriages entered into as a ploy to escape the stigma of homosexuality. It may tell us something about the price paid by children when parents divorce.
It certainly tells us something about how unscrupulous scholars are able to rig "studies" to yield foreordained results.
But it tells us nothing about the parenting skills of same-sex parents. Indeed, the huge majority of the children of parents who had a same-sex relationship at some time in their lives studied here never actually lived in a same-sex headed household.
As Jim Burroway explains in his trenchant analysis at Box Turtle Bulletin, Regnerus "undertakes a manipulation which I believe represents the fatal flaw of this study. If one wanted to intentionally create Lesbian Mothers and Gay Fathers groups which were least likely to look like an intact biological family, I can't imagine a better way to do so than to take the steps Regnerus has taken here."
At Slate, William Saletan observes that "The study, which found inferior economic, educational, social, and psychological outcomes among children of gay parents, comes across as evidence that homosexuals are unfit to raise kids. But the study doesn't document the failure of same-sex marriage. It documents the failure of the closeted, broken, and unstable households that preceded same-sex marriage."
Although it has already been embraced by the opponents of same-sex marriage, the study is so flawed methodologically that it will not be taken seriously by scholars who actually read it.
But I suspect that this article, dressed up in the accoutrement of scholarship, was never intended to be real scholarship. It is, rather, just another desperate attempt to smear gay and lesbian parents and thereby provide a "rational" justification to deny equal marriage rights.
The manufacture of junk scholarship is a prominent feature in the anti-gay movement. Hacks associated with the North American Reparative Therapy Association and the Institute for American Values routinely publish through vanity presses pseudo scholarship in their quest to discredit gay people.
As I observed in an earlier blog on Elizabeth Marquardt's dubious report, One Parent or Five?, no reputable scholar takes seriously the junk science churned out by David Blankenhorn's Institute for American Values. But as much as they whine about not being taken seriously by scholars, their real target is not the scholarly community but naive readers who want some quasi-respectable justification for their reservations about marriage equality and gay and lesbian parenting.
In addition, however, their junk science also serves the purpose of providing other purveyors of junk science something to quote and cite as they also participate in the game of producing a facsimile of scholarship. "Experts" at such designated hate groups as the American Family Association, Focus on the Family, and Family Research Council, to say nothing of bloggers at the National Organization for Marriage and National Review Online, eagerly cite the pseudo scholarship from Marquardt and Blankenhorn, and they will certainly greet with delight Regnerus's pseudo scholarship.
Regnerus has, however, achieved something of a breakthrough in his pseudo scholarship. He has managed to place his work in a supposedly peer-reviewed journal. That, along with a Ph.D. and academic credentials, will give his work a certain amount of credence that the publications of the Institute of American Values lack.
Indeed, Regnerus's article will certainly be cited in the briefs submitted to the Supreme Court when it reviews the Defense of Marriage Act or Proposition 8, which may be the real goal of this enterprise that was funded so generously by anti-gay groups.
Regnerus's study was funded by the same right-wing foundations that fund other junk science, including that emanating from Blankenhorn's Institute for American Values.
Most of the money to finance the study--almost $800,000--came from the Witherspoon Institute and the Bradley Foundation, both organizations actively opposed to marriage equality and the boards of both include the notorious Princeton Professor Robert P. George, who drafted the Manhattan Declaration and is a founder of the National Organization for Marriage. The Institute has close associations with such organizations as the National Organization for Marriage, the Family Research Council, and the secretive Catholic order Opus Dei. The Bradley Foundation finances a number of right-wing causes, from the promotion of creationism to supporting the Institute for American Values.
Their involvement in funding this study should set off all sorts of warning signals. It places this study on the same footing as the studies financed by tobacco companies in the 1960s that "proved" that smoking was not injurious to one's health.
Regnerus has respectable academic credentials. He is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas. However, it is likely not coincidental that he is a Catholic convert affiliated with the University of Notre Dame's Institute for Church Life who "wants to be a bridge builder; not just between sociology and the public but also between evangelicals and Catholics."
In other words, it is plausible to believe that Regnerus is less motivated by the search for truth than by a desire to disseminate propaganda. He is too knowledgable a sociologist not to be fully aware of the flaws in the study. His choices in constructing the study indicate an attempt to deliberately skew the results to verify his foreordained conclusion. That is, all evidence points to the fact that this study was conducted in bad faith.
The publication of the paper at Social Science Research appears to have been so hurried as to cause one to wonder whether it in fact was subject to rigorous peer review. Moreover, while the journal simultaneously published three commentaries on the paper, which discussed some of the methodological problems, two of the commentaries were by people associated with the study. That seems to me to raise questions about the scholarly integrity of the journal.
The problem is not simply that Regnerus's study is poor scholarship, but, more dangerous, it is also fundamentally dishonest. It is designed to perpetuate a lie.
The buying of pseudo scholarship by right-wing foundations is a symptom of increasing pressure on the academy. Corporations and superpacs now routinely attempt to buy influence in the hiring of university faculty and in shaping research agendas by funding pet projects and preventing research in areas like climate change or industrial pollution. It is sad to see anti-gay foundations enter the competition to further academic corruption.
Unfortunately, this latest attempt to smear gay and lesbian families is just one more chapter in the increasingly common attack by the right wing on academic integrity.

Luxilon M2 Pro
Frame: YouTek Prestige Pro
String: Luxilon M2 Pro
Tension: 48
Please read tension maintenance section first. I feel like something went wrong here...
An ease and breeze to string. The string is fairly soft in the hands and slilghtly slippery for weaves.
Note: The initial and final feel of this frame is drastically different. My first hit, which lasted a whole of 10 minutes was really great with this string. I found power, spin, and a pretty pleasant string bed. Whatever I needed, the string was able to provide. I was immensely happy with my purchase and ready to give Luxilon premium another shot.
After: I'm not entirely sure what happened (see below in tension) but the string bed just plain deteriorated. I went from being able to hit a full range of shots to only being able to effectively hit flat. Whether the ball was moving fast or slow, I could not figure out how to keep the ball in with nice, heavy, spin. It was as if I picked up 2 different frames from my first play to my next. hitting the ball flat was perfectly fine but dear God I was hitting the fence with my normal topspin forehand.
First play there was control and penetration to my serves, by the last I didn't even bother. The power factor of the stringbed was off the charts and it felt like a wet noodle.
Nice and responsive-- extra pocketing all around. Strangely enough, I was able to hit some decent drop shots with this stuff. Pretty straight forward and average otherwise.
Tension maintenance:
Dear GOD I don't know what happened here. I'm afraid to just chalk it up to the Luxilon tradition but its a possibility. The first play that I had, which was very brief, was a great hit. The strings did what I wanted them to with flourish. In between my first decent 10 minutes and the next occasion, there was a little bit of mini-tennis (teaching a student) and some hot-car action. Furthermore, the temperature on the courts for the past week have easily been over 100. I'm hoping that these "contributing factors" are the "dominant factors" in the death of this string because by the time I really got to hit with the string it was a sloppy loose cannon. Furthermore, it actually started to hurt my arm...Big no-no especially strung at 48#
I continued to play with it despite but am going to reserve "accurate" judgement until I can string this stuff up again. This run was an epic failure.
Not great, with less than 3 hours of messing around and maybe 1.5 hours of decent hitting this stuff is already notched and on it's way to popping. In playing conditions I give it ~4 hours max.
Groundstrokes: /5

Robert, I understand the feeling. I too felt Oahu a bit crowded. It is not really an experience of Hawaii and is not that easy to get away to a place where there is no people.
What you say about the beaches. Well here in Maui I never felt they were not clean. Maybe it has got to do with the amount of people. I do see trash on some off the beaten path places. It seems it is too much of an effort to drive the truck all the way to the land fill and dump the trash there. Lots of people just dump where they feel is is ok. I really do not understand it.
What you say about galleries seems true but wait a minute, you have galleries there. As far as I know there is only one fine art gallery in the Grand Wailea Resort and most of the photographs that were there when I visited were of Hawaii, and very few of other places. Most peolpe here are turists or temporary residents. They want to take Hawaii back home. The other citizens of Hawaii don't feel at all interested in fine arts. Don't know what it is that there is such a small percentage of artists, photographers, etc. Just no interest!?!? Weird?


text: Since Spain is the European Training Ground for Tennis, w/many of its own champions, the audiences are Fantastic, and tennis in Germany is mostly dead - shouldn't Valencia be replaced by a full-fledged Masters Series Event- in whatever Spanish city, replacing Germany? Then give Germany an indoor event in the fall to replace Madrid. Before answering, you might go read the art. in Monday's Guardian on what a raucous event Madrid final was. I think that would be a far better lead in event to Paris, since the enthusiasm is so much higher. Finally, it would more suitably reward Spain for its contribution to European Tennis.

|For the 2005 big-screen version of the hit 1980s TV series THE DUKES OF HAZZARD, country legend Willie Nelson plays the role of Uncle Jesse, and pop sensation Jessica Simpson takes on the denim-shorts-wearing part of Daisy Duke. It's no surprise, then, that both artists show up on the movie's soundtrack. Simpson performs a bluegrass-meets-hip-hop rendition of the giddily assertive Nancy Sinatra classic "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'," while Nelson rambles through a country-rock version of the DUKES OF HAZZARD theme song, "Good Ol' Boys." (Most listeners who were children of the '80s will know this one by heart.) The bulk of the remaining album is filled with Southern rock tunes, including the Allman Brothers Band's high-octane "One Way Out," Lynyrd Skynyrd's rollicking "Call Me the Breeze," and Molly Hatchet's fiery "Flirtin' with Disaster." With its entertaining Dixie vibe, THE DUKES OF HAZZARD soundtrack captures the fun, rambunctious spirit of the film.

09 November 2013 00:27 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--US-based Cooper Tire expressed disappointment after a Delaware judge decided that India's Apollo Tyres did not breach its obligation to expeditiously reach an agreement with a US union as part of the companies' agreed-to merger.
"Cooper is assessing its options with respect to this decision and awaits the court's ruling on other open matters in this case," the US tyre maker said in a statement issued late Friday.
The judge in the case said he would rule by 13 November on whether Cooper can force Apollo to accept the agreed-to deal of $35/share.
Apollo said in a media statement that it was pleased with Friday's ruling and looked forward to "finding a sensible way forward".
Cooper has accused Apollo of delaying an agreement with a US union as the India-based company seeks to lower the per-share price of the merger.
Cooper stockholders approved the tyre manufacturer's $2.5bn (€1.9bn) merger with Apollo in September after a deal was reached in June. The deal was agreed to be an all-cash transaction, with Cooper stockholders receiving $35/share in cash, a 40% premium to Cooper's 30-day volume-weighted average price.
But Cooper has argued that Apollo has breached the acquisition contract by working for a lower per-share price based on situations with contract negotiations with United Steelworkers in the US as well as a strike involving a Cooper joint venture in China with Chengshan Group.
Apollo has disputed the allegations and said it "has worked diligently with the United Steelworkers to enable Cooper to overcome the United Steelworkers injunction prohibiting Cooper from consummating the merger".
The Indian company said Cooper failed to provide required information under the merger agreement due in part to its lack of control of the Chengshan joint venture and has breached other parts of the agreed-to deal.
Both companies maintain that they would like to resolve their issues and complete the merger, which both have said would result in the world's seventh-largest tyre manufacturer.

Second stage: 2640–2480 bce
Except for human burials, there is no evidence of activity between Stonehenge's first and second stages of construction. About 2500 bce the sarsen stones were brought from the Avebury area of the Marlborough Downs, about 20 miles (32 km) to the north. Outside the northeastern entrance of Stonehenge they were dressed smooth by pounding with sarsen hammers. They were then arranged inside the circle in a horseshoe-shaped setting of five tall trilithons (paired uprights with a lintel)—the central and largest of which is known as the giant trilithon—surrounded by 30 uprights linked by curved lintels to form a circle. The stones appear to have been laid out systematically in units and subunits of the long foot; the circumference of the sarsen circle is 300 long feet. The lintels, weighing some 7 tons each, are held on top of the uprights by mortise-and-tenon (dovetail) joints, and the ends of the curved lintels of the sarsen circle fit together with tongue-and-groove joints. All the joints were created using hammer stones, presumably in imitation of woodwork. Most of the sarsen uprights weigh about 25 tons and are about 18 feet (5.5 metres) high. The uprights of the giant trilithon, however, were 29 feet (9 metres) and 32 feet (10 metres) high, weighing more than 45 tons.
Only one of the giant trilithon's uprights still stands, reaching a height above ground of about 23 feet (7 metres). Only six lintels (out of a total of 230) sit in place on the sarsen circle, with two more lying on the ground. Three of the five sarsen trilithon lintels are in place, with the other two on the ground. Four of the uprights from the sarsen circle are absent, and one is much shorter than the others. Although it is possible that the sarsen circle was never completed, the existence of a hole for an absent sarsen suggests that this stone and others were reused as construction materials for Roman buildings and medieval churches in the vicinity.
The bluestones were observed by Atkinson to have been arranged into a double arc, which, for convenience, he called the Q and R Holes. Atkinson's records suggested that the Q and R Holes predated the sarsen circle and trilithons, but Darvill and Wainwright's excavation in 2008 cast doubt on this stratigraphic relationship. It is more likely that the bluestone arc was indeed constructed as part of the sarsen circle and trilithon monument, with bluestones brought from the Aubrey Holes. Bluestones may also have been brought to Stonehenge at this time, or slightly later, from Bluestonehenge (where they had been removed by at least 2280 bce). The bluestones weigh up to 4 tons each, and the taller ones are over 6 feet (2 metres) high. Most of them are unworked natural pillars.
Four upright stones, called the Station Stones, were erected near the Aubrey Hole ring, probably also during the second stage of Stonehenge, if not during the period between the monument's first and second stages. Only two of the stones—both of sarsen—have survived. The four Station Stones were placed in a rectangular formation, aligned along the same solstitial axis as the great trilithon and the bluestone arc. The two missing Station Stones were partially covered by low mounds known as the South Barrow and the North Barrow. The South Barrow was raised on top of the floor of a 36-by-33-foot (11-by-10-metre) building in the shape of a D that lay immediately to the east of the small southern entrance through Stonehenge's bank and ditch. From this entrance an undated passageway marked by timber posts led toward the centre of the monument. Other sarsens were erected within the northeastern entrance. Three of them formed a facade across the entrance, of which the sarsen known as the Slaughter Stone is the sole survivor. Beyond them lies the Heelstone, set within a circular ring ditch. From the Slaughter Stone to just past the Heelstone, three evenly spaced stone holes (undated) share the same axis as the timber posts thought to belong to Stonehenge's first stage.
About the same time the sarsens were erected, two sets of concentric timber circles were built within a large settlement almost 2 miles (3 km) to the northeast of the Stonehenge monument. One of these circles, called the Southern Circle, was set at the centre of an ancient settlement of small houses. The other, the smaller Northern Circle, was built on the north side of the settlement. Nine houses, up to about 18 feet (5.5 metres) square in plan, were excavated in 2004–07 and reckoned to form part of a 42-acre (17-hectare) settlement that may have supported up to 1,000 such dwellings. This seasonally occupied and short-lived community is thought to have been the builders' camp. By 2460 bce its ruins were enclosed by the bank and ditch of Britain's largest henge enclosure, Durrington Walls. Outside its south entrance stood a third concentric timber circle—Woodhenge.

It's cute but...
posted 6 years ago
I saw this and thought it would be a cute gift for my cats, but found it to be rarely played with. My little girl cat couldn't care less about it and my little boy cat plays with it every now and then. If I put catnip on it he plays on it a little more but that's about it. It does save space for the people in smaller areas but for its cost, I'm not sure if it's worth trying out.
Pros: Saves space. Versitile.
Cons: Cats aren't excited about. Not highly used.

Yeah, they're all essentially the same, except the license differs as LGPL/GPL/BSD from case to case. rpmdiff is silent on all of them. I mean, I don't *really* mind making 27 separate package reviews, but we've got a lot of package reviews outstanding already and it just seems a little time-consuming to rinse and repeat so many times rather than handle them all as one single request.
