Dundee United are still to receive any new bids for striker David Goodwillie, according to chairman Stephen Thompson.
The 22-year-old was expected to leave the club after scoring eighteen times last season and amidst rumours of possible interest from Rangers, Celtic, Liverpool and Chelsea.
"I have heard all the speculation, but the truth of the matter is until someone puts an offer on the table nothing will happen," Thompson told BBC Scotland. "We did receive two offers in January, but turned them down because they did not meet our valuation.
"Since we turned down the two offers in January there has not been one single offer to us from anyone for David Goodwillie."

Nick Markakis makes spring debut, says "it was fine"
Mar 14, 2012, 4:22 PM EDT
Nick Markakis made his spring training debut today after having abdominal surgery in January, going 0-for-2 with a walk as the Orioles' designated hitter.
Afterward he told Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun that "it was fine" and "I was just happy to get out there and get some at bats and start this thing off right and get it going in the right direction."
He's scheduled to play the outfield for the first time on Tuesday, so it's tough to get a good feel for his status until then considering Markakis didn't have to move around much today.
For now he's slightly ahead of the initial recovery timetable and, barring setbacks, should have time to be ready for Opening Day.

Ian Bell: Winning hit made that beer taste sweet
Running out Pujara was like hitting the back of the net for Aston Villa
Monday 10 December 2012
Where to start? To hit the winning runs for England in a Test match in Kolkata is beyond boyhood dreams. I said in my column last week that just playing Test cricket at Eden Gardens was the fulfilment of an ambition. Although, when I woke up yesterday morning I certainly wasn't expecting to be walking out with us three down.
After the disappointment of Ahmedabad and then watching our Mumbai win on TV, to play a part in back-to-back victories in India is a moment that deserves to be savoured. Someone told me that it's pretty much 60 Tests since South Africa managed the same feat.
That made the beers we cracked open in the dressing room afterwards taste even sweeter. Although, we've now discovered the downside of cricket starting so early over here. A 9am first ball and a mercifully quick finish, leaving aside those three wickets, meant the beers were opened before pubs would even be open back at home. So yesterday was all about pacing ourselves as we toasted what feels like a significant win for English cricket, especially after going behind in the series.
We allowed the celebrations to carry on through to last night, within reason. It's important to let ourselves savour victories as they come along and not get too wrapped up in the bigger picture all the time. After all, we're only the second England team ever to experience victory at Eden Gardens.
Alongside the celebrations come moments of reflection. To be honest, my match-clinching stint at the crease was exactly what my game needed. I've made no secret of the fact that I've been struggling for rhythm before this Test. Rhythm is such an elusive quality and is hard for a batsman to put into words, but let me try. There's a chemistry between your batting brain, the fluidity of your feet movement and your general feel at the crease, it goes beyond technique and only comes about when all three are in synch.
Hunting it down can lead you into a vicious circle. Time at the crease is usually the best remedy but out in the middle can be the worst place to be when things aren't quite clicking. I've been spending a lot of time with Graham Gooch, our batting coach, and with his experience of making runs here in India, there isn't a better man to take stock of my game. However, that's where the vicious cycle begins, as it's far harder to replicate the rhythm of the nets in the cauldron of a stadium like Eden Gardens.
That was the certainly the case in my first innings. It's always frustrating to be cooped up in the pavilion for over a day itching to get out there. Although, I can't complain too much as, once again, Cookie gave us a complete masterclass in batting on the subcontinent. It was only a freak run-out that deprived him of an incredible double century. We haven't had a proper chance to give him enough stick for his 'evasive action' just yet but don't worry we'll get our chance once the serious business of getting a result in Nagpur is out the way. Cookie called it a 'brain freeze' and I know exactly how he feels after my incident at Trent Bridge last summer so I may leave the ribbing to the rest of the lads.
Before I start thinking ahead to the fourth Test, I'd like to get away from my batting travails and talk about the other contribution I made to the match. Obviously, it would be ideal if all of the top six could be scoring centuries but I've been playing cricket long enough to know that's just wishful thinking. So, to be responsible for dismissing Pujara in their second innings felt as good as making a half-century – and given that he's scored more than 400 runs this series, perhaps even more. Trust me, no one wants to see me bowl in Test cricket; there is a reason I've only bowled 108 balls in 82 Test matches – although I have taken a Test wicket (answers on a postcard). That means I had to rely on my fielding to make up for my lack of runs in the first innings.
It's always a great buzz to be responsible for a run out. As a batsman you only really get to celebrate like one of the bowlers when you reach three figures, so a direct hit feels like hitting the back of the net for Aston Villa. Swanny had just produced a piece of magic to get rid of Sehwag. The way Sehwag bats you always feel like you've got a chance but I've seen up close in Chennai on our last tour how he can take the game away from you.
Pujara offers a different challenge. He's been India's danger man all series; not only has he got the patience to bat all day, he's also got the attacking strokes to really trouble the scorers. As a fellow batsman I could only watch with frustration – and appreciation – when he began his innings with two text-book strokes for four; shots like that are the real proof of a man in form and hungry for runs. Momen-tum is key in any sport and at that point it had shifted in India's favour.
You're always hoping you can get rid of a batsman like that as soon as possible. It was an instinctive bit of fielding but I can still see the pick and release in slow motion. As soon as the ball was half-way out of my hand I knew it was on target, it then just became a race between Pujara and the conker. As you could probably tell from my celebration, I knew straight away he was short. Cue those celebrations and, for the rest of the afternoon, we managed to celebrate again and again and again until Ashwin decided to dig in.
Our fielding coach, Richard Halsall, has spent all of this tour drilling into us the importance of our ground fielding. Wickets can be so hard to come by in India, as we learned in the first Test, so for the team to pull off two key run-outs makes all that hard slog through countless fielding drills feel worthwhile.
Where to end? It wasn't just the run-outs or Cookie's batting. Our bowlers from Jimmy to Finn to Monty and Swann always looked like taking 20 wickets and that is what we need to do to win in Nagpur. We head to this week's fourth Test in confident mood. After so many difficult tours to the subcontinent, it's satisfying to finally have the opposition worrying about selection issues. We've got them on the back foot – and that's exactly where we plan on keeping them.

Florida Panthers Smart To Part Ways With Jack Skille
With free agency set to get underway at the end of the week, at least officially, we're getting an idea of which players will be brought back by their respective teams, and which will be cut loose. In the case of the Florida Panthers, it looks like Jack Skille will not be returning.
Dale Tallon has already come out and said that it's best, both for the organization and for Skille, that the two sides part ways. After a couple years in Florida, Skille was approaching free agency and showed just a few flashes of being a solid depth forward. But it never materialized.
It's really the story of his career. Skille was a top 10 pick back in the 2007 draft, when Tallon was the general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks. When he took the reigns as GM in Florida, he sent Michael Frolik to the Hawks to acquire Skille. Frolik just wrapped up a season in which he a was a key piece of the Hawks' championship run.
Skille has not had the same type of success. He has only 49 points in almost 180 career games, including only 24 in three and a half seasons with the Panthers. His career mark is 19 back in the 2010-11 season, 17 of which came prior to his being traded to the Panthers at the deadline that season.
He's always had potential, but has never quite been able to put it together. He has decent size, at 6'1″ and over 200 lbs, and plays a physical game, but he's never been able to generate that consistency in the goal-scoring department that was expected of him. Of course, being a six percent shooter for his career doesn't help.
Someone will take a chance on Skille, perhaps his last in the league. He has some skill and can be useful as a third or fourth line player. But his time with the Panthers, who are in a position where they'd like to contend now, had simply run out.

Make mine a Meka G1
Let's start with the Meka G1, which is the cheaper and simpler of the two. Newegg sells the keyboard for $122 right now, compared to $140 for the G-Unit. Although it may not have quite as much street cred as its Fitty Cent-inspired relative, the G1 still comes with more frills than basic mechanical keyboards.
Thermaltake sticks with an understated aesthetic dominated by a matte-plastic body and matching keys. The keys are a slightly different shade, but they're just as impervious to fingerprints and smudges as the other surfaces. Naturally, Thermaltake makes a "combat white" version of the G1 to match its arctic-themed cases. That model retains the black key caps, so it's not a complete white-out.
The contours on the G1's key caps are slightly deeper than those of the G-Unit, but the keys appear otherwise identical. Despite using the same black switches as the G-Unit, the G1 sounds a little more muffled when typing at speed. It's not any quieter, but the sound of each keystroke hits with a duller cha-chunk.
With only one exception, the Meka G1 follows the standard US keyboard layout. Thermaltake has replaced the left Windows key with a function key used to access the Meka's media controls. As someone who uses the Windows key daily and has grown accustomed to its position on the left, I found the move fairly frustrating. Sure, it eliminates the possibility of accidentally bringing up the Start menu while gaming, but that issue can be addressed without messing with the layout.
The Meka comes with a detachable palm rest, pictured above, and a couple of flip-down feet to provide 10 mm of lift at the back of the keyboard. Finding a comfortable typing position shouldn't be a problem unless you have a penchant for ergonomic designs. Thermaltake lines the bottom of the keyboard with rubber pads to ensure it won't slip around once you have things dialed-in.
Although the Meka G1 is pretty subdued overall, the red LEDs denoting the Caps, Scroll, and Num-Lock status are surprisingly bright. While they fall well short of blinding (in part because red LEDs are less dazzling than blue ones), the glow can be a little distracting while gaming in the dark.
Just below those LEDs, along the rear edge of the keyboard, sits a collection of tightly packed expansion ports. There are two USB 2.0 ports in addition to headphone and microphone connectors. In such close quarters, larger thumb drives may obstruct access to the other ports. Combining the audio jacks with 1/4" plug adapters will be a squeeze, as well.
The audio ports are just pass-through connectors linked to 3.5-mm jacks at the tail end of the Meka's beefy, braided cable housing. They're joined by a pair of USB plugs: one for the keyboard and the other for the USB hub inside.
Thermaltake throws in a USB-to-PS/2 adapter for luddites and hard-core gamers. Those two camps don't share a lot of hardware, but the Meka G1 only offers n-key rollover when it's attached to a PS/2 port. When running off a standard USB connection, the G1 can only register six simultaneous key presses.

Home > News > Graphene Ribbons
January 27th, 2008
TYING TOGETHER materials science and chemistry, scientists have developed a chemical method for making carbon ribbons less than 10 nm wide and just one atom thick (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1150878). The semiconducting properties of these so-called graphene nanoribbons make them promising materials for electronics applications.
To create the graphene ribbons, Hongjie Dai and colleagues at Stanford University first chemically exfoliate graphite, loosening individual layers of graphene by giving the graphite a 60-second bath in 3% hydrogen in argon gas at 1,000 °C. They then "tear" the graphene into strips by sonicating the material in solution. Previously, scientists used lithographic patterning to cut graphene into ribbons. But Dai's chemical method yields narrower ribbons with far smoother edges.

We were so lucky to go out of season! The game drives were nearly all private, as was the camp, so the exclusive attention was superb! The camp is lovely, the staff excellent, and our guide Saidie extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw masses of game, both large and small and the bird life was amazing. The food was fine, drinks a little expensive but not overly so. Cannot comment about high season but would definately recoomend off-season for privacy.
We enjoyed our stay at the Track and Trailer Riverside camp very very much. We can really recommend this to everybody.Accommodation : very goodEnvironment and View : GreatFood : very goodStaff : very friendly and adequate.

Topwater/plastic combo for MONSTER trout
Fish & Game NewsUncategorized June 20, 2011 Chester
Witnessing the blowup of a big sow speck can be the most impressive or underwhelming thing an angler can witness.
Sometimes they strike with such vigor they force the lure into the air causing the heart to skip a few beats. Many times, the signature of a super-sized sow will be a simple "slurp" and the disappearance of the plug. The challenge in both scenarios is in the hands of the angler.
Do not let a blowup fool you. Specks, even huge ones, can miss a plug and anglers probably miss most of them by attempting to set the hook before the fish has its mouth on it. Big predators push up a lot of water when they are hitting at something on the surface. It is best to get hit, count to two and then set the hook.
And if you miss the fish, it can pay to let the plug sit there and then gently twitch it.
Capt. Jim Onderdonk a Baffin Bay guide said he often rigs up clients inexperienced with topwaters with a topwater/Bass Assassin combo. He rigs the Assassin as a trailer for the surface lure and most of the time when the trout comes up toward the surface it takes the Assassin first.
"It works really well, especially for people who just don't have a lot of experience fishing topwaters. It's exciting for people to get a blowup but heartbreaking for them to miss one of these fish because down here it really could be the trout of a lifetime."
(Photo by Chester Moore, Jr.)
Adjusting topwater tactics to include a plastic can pay big dividends.

Lowes - Valid check denied

On 10/31/09 , I recieved a home equity line of credit with a new check book to use.I Went to a Lowes store in my small home town.
I spent 4 hours looking for several items (over 40 items). I wrote a check to cover the cost. Certegy Check Services uses a faulty profiling system to approve checks and nothing else. My $660.89 check was denied in front of my girlfriend several members of my comunity (that I know and go to church with), three employees of Lowes and a manager.
I was made to feel like crook in front of everybody there. This kind of harassment is insulting, degrading, demoralizing and cruel. Does anyonbe realize how people talk in a small town. On sunday at church, a friend approached me and said he would pray for me for my check fraud problem.
Now members of my church think I am a Convict. I am insanely angry with the way I am being treated because of negative profiling which is against my rights as an american citized.
Certegy Check Services Inc.and inhumane organizations need to be put out of business for causing large problems with innocent people.review #160847

I know this post is old, but I figured I'd put my two cents in. Did you ever stop to think that maybe your check was flagged because you were spending over $600 bucks and that wasn't something that you usually do? It's called security measures. They were trying to protect you.0 0 Reply
Apr 19, 2012 #468386
First off anyone in your church who honestly belives you are a convict should not be a part of the church. It is not Lowes fault either. Emailing the ceo will do you nothing but get you more upset. The ceo is a crook who belives that his wallet and wall street is more important than his employees and his customers. He will likely tell you he is doing you a favor by declining your check like he did to his employees. He can likely tell you what a crook or convict feels like though as he is right there with them. As for the members of your church they need to get their heads screwed on straight. Your no convict.0 0 Reply

In a world where many places won't take checks any more you're lucky to find someone that accepts a piece of paper that may or may not be good. There are many reasons they may not have accepted this check. As you stated it is a new account. Many places that do accept checks require they have printed information such as name, address etc on them. Low number checks are also a source of many check problems. Being a new account the bank may not have had information posted or available for the check protection company to verify your account. Keep in mind that a check is just a piece of paper until your bank honors it. Asking a business who doesn't know you to honor a check is asking a lot. Using a debit or credit card that can be instantly verified is a safer form of payment for them to accept. Ask you bank for a debit card to use with this account and your problems will be solved.0 0 Reply

I agree the problem is not Lowes, its the Certegy, we can not overide the system to take a check, Sorry you felt like a crook0 0 Reply
Nov 04, 2009 #83931
Well there could have been a few things wrong with your check. You could have handed them a "starter" check, which is just like a normal check though it does not have your personal information on it.
Another problem could have been previous bounced checks (for any amount) that have not been paid off yet.
Finally, Certegy could have flagged your checks (for some reason) and it would have been worthless for Lowe's to accept.
Whatever the result is, there are many reasons a valid check can be denied. You should find out why it was denied to prevent any future problems.

McLaren junior Magnussen crowned World Series by Renault champion
Oct 19, 2013, 2:30 PM EDT
Kevin Magnussen has won the World Series by Renault championship in Spain today as his bid to enter Formula One next season takes a big step forwards.
Son of former McLaren driver Jan, the Dane has performed admirably across the course of the season in a series that is widely regarded as being a direct feeder formula to F1 alongside GP2. Last year's runner-up Jules Bianchi graduated to F1 this season, and has been the stand-out performer at the back of the grid following some impressive displays for Marussia.
Magnussen wrapped up the championship in style today at the Circuit de Catalunya, winning the race ahead of Will Stevens and fellow McLaren youngster Stoffel Vandoorne. As a result, he goes into the final round of the championship tomorrow with little to play for, although he will be aiming to add another win to his collection.
"It feels so special," Magnussen said. "Nothing compares to this. I had to finish the job off and we did it together, with the whole team. It's been a fantastic season and I love working with Dams.
"It might look like it's all gone pretty smoothly but there have been ups and downs. It's been very tough but I've achieved what I set out to do. I can't wait for what lies ahead."
McLaren are known to be interested in finding Magnussen a seat on the grid for 2014, with Marussia being the most likely destination. However, his plans for next year are yet to be confirmed.
Fellow competitors Antonio Felix da Costa and Sergey Sirotkin are both expected to graduate to F1 next season at Toro Rosso and Sauber respectively. Sirotkin's arrival in the sport has come under scrutiny due to his relative inexperience, and he heads into the final round of the season tomorrow with just two podiums to his name.

Applications for Safeway Grocery Store document sample
CF081350285 Antitrust Issues in the UK Grocery Industry Michael Rowe 21 May 2008 CF081350285 Introduction – A Good Number of Competition Cases Despite recognition that the grocery retail industry in the UK is broadly competitive, between 2000 and 2008 the sector has seen: > Two substantial market reports by the Competition Commission (CC) > One merger review by the CC involving all of the major players (and other merger references to the CC) > One substantially complete cartel investigation (and at least one on- going) "Because of its importance to the economy, because of its relationship with other sectors such as retail grocery, and because sectors facing strong competition have the greatest incentive to avoid competition, the dairy sector has seen a good number of competition cases" John Fingleton, CEO of the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), 19 September 2006 CF081350285 The First Market Investigation Launched by the MMC in 1999 following concerns that: > Groceries cost more in the UK than in comparable EC countries and the USA > There was a discrepancy between farm-gate and retail prices > Large out-of-town supermarkets were threatening the high street Relevant Market > Identified as that for one-stop grocery shopping in stores of at least 1,400 sq metres (15,000 sq feet) > Shopping patterns found to be essentially local. Most consumers travelling no more than 10 minutes to the supermarket in urban areas and no more than 15 minutes in non-urban areas CF081350285 The First Market Investigation (cont.) The CC's Report (October 2000) focussed on three issues: > Persistent selling below cost > Price flexing > Relationships between supermarket chains and their suppliers Conclusions > Supermarket industry broadly competitive > No remedial action recommended in respect of predatory pricing or price flexing, due to concerns that any possible remedy would be "undesirable, disproportionate or present practical difficulties" > A Code of Practice (COP) to be drawn up and parties with at least an 8% share of the market to be required to give undertakings to comply > COP to include provisions relating to non-cost-related payments required of suppliers, access to shelf space, the imposition of charges and changes to contractual arrangements, particularly when imposed retrospectively CF081350285 Safeway Merger Analysis The References > Four references to the CC in March 2003 concerning the proposed acquisition of Safeway by each of Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco Market Definition > Market definition from 2000 Investigation used > Effect on convenience stores (below 280 sq metres) and stores providing for 'top-up' shopping (between 280 and 1,400 sq metres) also considered > Market essentially local but national dimension also addressed CF081350285 Safeway Merger Analysis (cont.) Local Market Analysis Stage One > Based on identifying the number of competitive fascias within an isochrone around each Safeway store (10 minutes' drive time in urban areas and 15 minutes' drive time in rural areas) > Reduction in the number of fascias from each of 5 to 4, 4 to 3, 3 to 2 and 2 to 1 deemed a potential problem Stage Two > Examination of problem areas identified under Stage One in conjunction with a discussion with concerned parties > Following analysis of results, five to four rule considered too demanding and abandoned CF081350285 Safeway Merger Analysis (cont.) Recommendations > While a programme of divestment of stores might remedy local adverse effects, concerns at the national level would not be addressed > No reasonable divestment programme would adequately restore a fourth national competitor, and there would be scope for coordinated effects between the three largest players > Three largest players (Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's) blocked from acquiring Safeway > Morrisons acquisition cleared conditional on divestment of stores in 48 problem areas CF081350285 Other Mergers Referred to CC Readiness on the part of the OFT to refer mergers in the sector to the CC Acquisition by Tesco in 2003 of Co-operative Group's store in Slough > Referred to the CC in 2007 following Tesco's failure to fulfil undertakings in lieu given to OFT > Tesco required to divest site or development Acquisition by Somerfield in 2004 of 115 stores from Morrisons > CC investigation launched after closing > Somerfield required to divest 12 stores > Somerfield applied to the Competition Appeals Tribunal (CAT) for judicial review of the CC's decision, but the application was dismissed CF081350285 Milk Cartel Statement of Objections (SO) issued by the OFT in September 2007 provisionally finding evidence of collusion between certain large supermarkets and dairy processors on retail prices of milk, butter and UK cheese The SO alleged that the supermarkets had indirectly disclosed to and/or exchanged with other retailers commercially sensitive information and that the dairy processors had facilitated such exchanges The OFT announced that it had concluded "early resolution agreements" with, inter alios, Asda, Sainsbury's, and Safeway (7 December 2007) Sainsbury's agreed to pay a settlement of £26 million and stated that: > "the price initiatives […], which were widely and publicly reported at the time, were designed to help British dairy farmers at a time of considerable economic pressure" CF081350285 Milk Cartel – Indirect Information Exchange In 2003 the OFT fined Argos and Littlewoods for fixing prices pursuant to an exchange of confidential information through a common supplier The CAT upheld the OFT's decision, stating: > "If one retailer A privately discloses to a supplier B its future pricing intentions in circumstances where it is reasonably foreseeable that B might make use of that information to influence market conditions, and B then passes that pricing information on to a competing retailer C, then in our view A, B and C are all to be regarded […] as parties to a concerted practice having as its object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition" The Court of Appeal narrowed this test, introducing a requirement for mental consensus between the parties, holding that it would be sufficient if retailer A intended that B should use the information provided to influence market conditions by passing that information on to C and B did in fact pass that information on to C in circumstances where C may be taken to have known the context in which the information was disclosed by A to B and C (Argos Ltd and another v OFT; JJB Sports plc v OFT [2006] All ER (D) 236) The Court of Appeal found, however, that the evidence still supported the CAT's decision. CF081350285 2008 Market Report – Background The OFT reviewed the operation of the COP and other competition issues relating to the grocery market (2004-2005) The OFT announced that there was no need to amend the COP or to refer the investigation to the CC (August 2005) Following an application by the Association of Convenience Stores for review of the OFT's decision by the CAT, the OFT agreed to withdraw its decision and to conduct a further review The OFT referred the supply of groceries by retailers in the UK to the CC for investigation (May 2006) The CC's final report was published on 30 April 2008 CF081350285 2008 Market Report – Market Analysis Sector divided into three major product markets for the supply of groceries in the UK: > Large stores (more than 1000 to 2000 sq metres): competing only with other large grocery stores > Large and mid-sized stores (all stores larger than 280 sq metres): mid-sized stores competing with other mid-sized stores and large stores > All grocery stores: convenience stores competing with both mid- sized and large grocery stores (and being price constrained by both) Precise delineation of the product market differs across local geographic markets Geographic market fundamentally local CF081350285 2008 Market Report – Key Findings After conducting an "exhaustive" review of the industry, the CC concluded that: > "In many important respects, competition in the UK groceries industry is effective and delivers good outcomes for consumers, but not all is well" > There has been no broad-based decline in convenience store numbers or revenues, including the number or revenues of independent, non-affiliated convenience stores Concerns in two principal areas: > Certain retailers having strong positions in a number of local markets with barriers to entry (e.g. the planning regime and control of land) > Various supply chain practices which transfer excessive risk and costs to suppliers CF081350285 2008 Market Report – Local Markets Highly concentrated local markets > Where a local market has three or fewer fascias and one fascia has a 60% or higher share of grocery sales within a 10- or 15-minute isochrone > 495 large grocery stores in the UK (27% of all large grocery stores) are in highly- concentrated local markets (using the 10-minute isochrone) Planning regime and control of land > Planning regime constrains new entry into local markets by large grocery stores > The planning "need" test likely to provide incumbent retailers with an advantage over new entrants > Retailers not generally engaging in "landbanking" as a strategy to impede entry by rival retailers into local markets > The control of land by retailers (e.g. by way of landbanks and restrictive covenants) in certain highly concentrated local markets gives rise an adverse effect on competition in the product markets for large grocery stores and for mid-sized and large grocery stores, but not in the product market for all grocery stores CF081350285 2008 Market Report – Supply Chain Practices All large grocery retailers, wholesalers and buying groups have buyer power in relation to at least some of their suppliers Overall the financial viability of food and drink manufacturers is not under threat as a result of the exercise of buyer power No evidence of any "waterbed" effect in supplier pricing Grocery retailers often transfer excessive risks or unexpected costs to their suppliers (e.g. through making retrospective adjustments to the terms of supply) The COP is constraining the exercise of buyer power by the four largest grocery retailers to some extent CF081350285 2008 Market Report – Remedies The CC is to seek undertakings from large retailers requiring them to: > Release existing restrictive covenants in highly-concentrated areas and not impose new restrictive covenants that may restrict grocery retailing > Notify the OFT of all acquisitions of existing grocery stores of more than 1,000 sq metres The CC recommends the OFT be appointed a statutory consultee to Local Planning Authorities on applications for planning permission for stores above 1,000 sq metres The CC will require the establishment of a Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP), expanding the COP (e.g. by including an overarching "fair-dealing" provision, and by prohibiting retailers from making retrospective adjustments to terms and conditions of supply ) Establishment of a GSCOP Ombudsman to monitor and enforce compliance CF081350285 2008 Market Review – E-mail case study The CC conducted a review of e-mails between Asda and Tesco and their suppliers during the period 18 June to 22 July 2007 The CC noted that communications between buyers and suppliers evidence "a challenging relationship between trading partners with a shared objective to do business together while maximizing their own profitability" Three areas giving rise to potential competition concerns: > Exchange of information on retailer pricing and promotion > Contribution by suppliers to costs of promotion > Wastage and product quality complaints In particular the CC observed that private information that would not otherwise be available to a grocery retailer was being volunteered by a supplier, including information on a competitor's retail prices for the coming week and on future promotions at a rival supermarket CF081350285 Recent Events On 23 April 2008, the OFT announced that it had agreed to pay Morrisons £100,000 plus costs to settle a defamation case brought by the retailer over "serious errors" in an OFT press release issued in connection with the Milk Cartel SO On 24 April 2008, the OFT conducted inspections at the premises of certain supermarkets, as well as certain suppliers, and contacted other suppliers to seek information about prices for groceries, health and beauty products and detergents On 25 April 2008 the OFT issued an SO to two tobacco manufacturers (Imperial Tobacco and Gallaher) and 11 retailers (including Asda, Morrisons, Safeway, Sainsbury and Tesco) alleging (in respect of certain companies): > The indirect exchange of proposed future retail prices > Arrangements to link the retail price of a manufacturer's brand to the retail price of a competing brand of another manufacturer CF081350285 The Future "Businesses have expressed surprise over what they perceive to be the increasingly vigorous enforcement activity and the use of powers to obtain or request information […] There is also a perception that our fines have got much higher, and represent a tougher approach to enforcement" Philip Collins, Chairman of the OFT, 15 May 2008

The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental series of productions, subtitled "radio's distinguished series to man's imagination" that ran between 27 January 1956 and 22 September 1957. The premiere production was Brave New World, narrated by Huxley himself, with a complicated sound-effects score that evidently took a long time to construct, and comprised a ticking metronome, tom-tom beats, bubbling water, an air hose, a cow's moo, an oscillator, and three kinds of wine glasses clicking together.

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, Volume 1 is a collection of the only known episodes to exist from its run on both NBC and CBS radio.

The first episode adapted Chandler's short story "Red Wind."
"Poor Audio Quality"
Van Heflin and Gerald Mohr each play the title role in these electric episodes, cracking wise with the of angry glee of a take-charge operative who careens, cajoles, shoves, shouts, and sometime shoots his way to a solution in his quest for a stolen object, a missing person, or a killer needing to be found. Includes two Van Heflin episodes never before available to the public since their original broadcast. Includes 20 digitally restored and re-mastered episodes.
Johnny has a way with the ladies, but will his last date be with death? For free trips and a fat fee, Johnny Dollar descends into cases of missing money and missing men. But, what can he do when the bodies are walled up, washed up, and fallen down? When the jewels and the paintings are fake? And, when everything from trucks to trout to widows are on the loose? He'd better bring his gun.
"Almost a great audio."

The Stephen Strasburg hype machine goes to 11
May 27, 2010, 2:10 PM EDT
I'm just as excited about the arrival of Stephen Strasburg as anyone, but if you're either (a) seriously worried that the birth of your baby might interfere with the Strasburg game; or (b) pretending that you're worried about it so that someone will write about you on the web, you probably need to readjust your life's priorities.
In other news, I just sold a kidney to buy Strasburg's only baseball card!!!

You say, "I'm just as excited about the arrival of Stephen Strasburg as anyone" yet you are obviously not as excited as this guy. English comprehension level of writer = fail.
Also, dude, you come off as a little catty.

$16K for a baseball card of a player who hasn't played in the majors yet is insane. These "one of a kind" cards being printed now are part of what's wrong with the trading card companies now. This isn't the T-206 Honus Wagner or a Mickey Mantle rookie card. This is only "rare" because the flippin' card company decided to print just 1–big deal. It'll be worth something one day IF the kids does turn out to be a Hall of Famer. If not, in a few years everyone will be laughing at the dork who laid $16K down on a $5 card. I'll keep my collection of every card from the 1970's and skip the new ones, thanks.
