Buzz: Are Colts Courting Pep Hamilton?
Uh oh, looks like Pep Hamilton is getting courted by another team than just the Jets according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
Well, that would change things a bit for the Jets as they might have unceremoniously been blocked by the Colts. We're told the Jets were serious about Hamilton but with the news about Bruce Arians it's blown the Hamilton talk out of the water. It's fair to say that for the current Stanford offensive coordinator, going to the Colts is probably considered a better job. There's a better all-around offense already in place and Hamilton would be reuniting with his former player Andrew Luck not to mention some Stanford skill players at the tight end spot.
For those who are not so thrilled at returning to a Paul Hackett influenced system, then this might be regarded as dodging a bullet. The Jets were said to be interested in former Eagles OC Marty Morhinweg and we're sure some more names might creep up … so keep an eye out for him should Hamilton indeed fall through for the Jets. It seems like a natural fit now for Hamilton to land in Indy but we'll keep an eye on it …

Archive for the 'Martin Eberhard' tag
The Auto X-Prize heating up
As of August 1, 31 teams have entered the Auto X-Prize competition to be the first company to produce a "marketable" 100-mpg vehicle. The prize? How about $10 million (if the X-Prize foundation can come up with some more sponsors). Of the companies already entered, Zap Motors and Tesla Motors are said to be two of the companies with the best shot at the grand prize.
The soon-to-be-released 3-seater bench Zap Obvio 828 designed to run on 100% ethanol or a full-electric version will be available. Current mileage estimates are up to 40-mpg on the highway for the ethanol version.
The Tesla Roadster electric vehicle estimates their range at more than 200 miles before recharging is needed. This puts mileage estimates at about 135 mpg. Certainly their technology is up to snuff but at $100,000 per roadster, the marketability requirement still needs to be addressed.
Speaking of Tesla, it was announced just this week that CEO and co-founder Martin Eberhard was replaced on Monday. Eberhard will stay on as president of technology (possibly to put more effort into the X-Prize competition). Martin Musk, an early investor in Tesla, will become interim CEO.

When your dog or cat begins to drip or leak urine, it can cause great concern for you and for your pet. They do not wish to urinate in the house or on their bed, yet they cannot control their own bodily functions properly. Urinary incontinence is the involuntary passing or leakage of urine and occurs in 20% of dogs at some point in their lifetime, and less frequently in cats. (Marking & spraying, frequent urination, and submissive urination are not considered urinary incontinence).
A weak bladder sphincter is the most common cause of incontinence. Spayed females are most susceptible to a weakened bladder sphincter due to low estrogen levels, along with other factor, and can be affected at any age after spaying. , Male dogs can develop weakened sphincters as well – typically older male dogs.
Only Natural Pet Incontinence Homeopathic is a safe, effective remedy for use with pets experiencing leaking and incontinence. This formula is a combination of homeopathic ingredients developed by our holistic veterinarian, Dr. Jean Hofve. It can safely be used long-term for pets with a chronic incontinence problem.
About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a natural, holistic system for healing that works by eliminating the underlying imbalance in a pet's body that is causing unwanted symptoms. In homeopathy, health is defined as not just the absence of symptoms, but a feeling of well-being and vitality. Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years. It follows Aristotle's theory that "like cures like." For example, ipecac in large doses will cause nausea, salivation, and violent vomiting in a healthy person. In contrast, homeopathic ipecac can cure those same symptoms in a sick patient.
In addition, homeopathy uses the principle of the "minimum dose." Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances such as plants and minerals that are highly diluted (potentized) and shaken (succussed), which eliminates any toxic effects of the natural substance. It is literally impossible to overdose with a homeopathic formula, and they are generally safe for use with other remedies or medicines.

For chronic conditions, administration 3 times daily is the general recommendation. As the symptoms resolve, you may reduce the frequency of the dosage.

five weeks, good and bad days, didn't work out for us.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Incontinence Homeopathic Remedy:
We were so hopeful after reading all the reviews, but unfortunately it really didn't work at all. We called and asked for advise, (always pleasant customer service) but even increasing the dosage and frequency didn't help. For other Canadian customers I don't think the shipping charge is worth trying it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Dog couldn't think!!!
By Tammy
from Selma, NC
I am sorry, but this product made my dog not able to think or remember anything I only gave him 5 drops for a day and half and stopped it immediately and have a whole bottle left? Wasted money for me.....

Great product. Better than Proin.
By TG
from Louisville, Kentucky
This product was a God send after experiencing negative side effects of Proin. My 12 year old Schnauzer has been using this for 2 years now and it is very effective. She has the occasional leak but they are so few and far between it's almost not worth mentioning. I give her 8 drops, 3 times a day on a sliver of bread each time. She loves receiving her "medicine". Her tail wags vigorously each time I'm about to give it to her.Taste appears to be no problem.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So Far So Good
By Charlie's Mom
from Colorado
I have an 11 year beauty named Charlie. She was having trouble with leaking. I have been using this now for about 3 weeks and it has really helped a lot. There has been very little leakage and if there is it is minimal and most days none at all. She takes it in her food and I have never had a problem getting her to take it. I have found nothing that I don't like about it. There have been no side effects at all and I feel good about giving her a natural product.
works for us
By Stef
from New Baltimore, MI
This has worked for our german shepherd for the past 2 years. She is now 3 years old. Goes right into her dog food.My only complaint is the bottle size. Our dog is 115 pounds and we go through these rather quickly. I wished these were offered in a bigger size. This would be benefical for large dog owners.
This stuff works!
By Animal Lover
from Western Kentucky
My 12 year old female German Shepherd was having bladder leakage issues and she didn't understand why which made her act weird so I was desperate to find something for her. I had had a female German Shepherd before with the same issues and had used something from the vet with only so so results. After only 2 weeks of using we have not had any more problems with bladder leakage and she is back to her old self. Since I work all day it is impossible to give three times a day as instructed so I give in morning and evening and works fine with her.
Wonderful product
By Lolas parents
from Elizabeth NJ
My 3year old English Bulldog has been werting her bed for a very long time now. It made her very nervous. We dis not want to put her on meds so we decided to try this product and it works! In just a few days she stopped the constant wetting and has had very few nighttime accidents. I am going to reorder now and also an anxiety product. Thanks so much.!

Great natural remedy
By dutchies mom
from East Hampton, NY
This is a great product if you don't want to use medications that may put pressure on the liver.....worked within 4 days!! No more doggie diapers....and no more wet doggie beds!!
Not sure if it worked; will use again
By anokii
from Seattle, WA
I'm not sure if it helped with my dog's incontinence. But she has stopped leaking. This has happened before. I want it to be this product and I will use it again, if she becomes incontinent again. It is odorless and easy to use, she never reacted to it being in her food. I used it for about 6 weeks.
Not helping much
By Carlo
from Texas
It worked for a few days but has not done much lately. My baby had prostate cancer and had recently started to dribble and now it's more often. I was hoping this supplement would help but today I had to go buy diapers for him it's just getting too much dribble and urine spots everywhere so no this product has not helped my dog at all.

World War II Causes
World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history--and in this movie from BrainPOP, you'll find out exactly why it happened. You'll discover what fascism is and why some people saw it as a good alternative to democracy. You'll hear all about Adolf Hitler, the tyrannical Nazi dictator, and how his thirst for more territory was appeased--and then opposed--by the leaders of Britain and France. You'll also learn about the territorial ambitions of Imperial Japan, and how they led to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The causes of World War II are many and complex, but watching this movie will give you a good idea of why the war happened.

A previous version of this column incorrectly identified several mutual funds as having shut down in 2011 rather than 2012. The column has been corrected.
No one cries when a mutual fund dies. There is no wake. If there is an obituary — in the form of a small announcement that the investment has passed — it seldom contains information on the cause of death.
And yet, each year, hundreds of funds snuff it. Counting all share classes, the bell tolled for about 1,000 traditional mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that were liquidated or merged out of existence in 2012. The departed are a motley mix of the uninspired, goofy and mediocre. Some were marketing failures, while others were big mistakes. A few good performers that just never clicked with the public also gave up the ghost.
Most deserved to perish unnoticed, but a few left legacies and lessons that should not be forgotten, lest investors repeat those mistakes in the future. With that in mind — and in the spirit of year-end retrospectives about famous people who've died in the past 12 months — it's time to dip into the year's dead pool for tales from the fund crypt.
Among the funds that passed in 2012:
Yieldquest Total Return Bond: It's not the above-average costs and below-average returns that stood out for this horrific loser, it was the wild losing streaks when it dropped 10% in a week that had investors wondering what the heck was going on.
YieldQuest — sold only through "pre-approved registered investment advisors" — was a broad-based, market-neutral approach that was designed to make money in all market conditions.
The process was a great read, but the fund proved that what looks good on paper may not work in practice. In fact, it wasn't market-neutral, so much as market-negative; management flailed around but nothing worked and the troubles seemed to accelerate until YieldQuest Total Return mercifully was shut down in late August. A loser over its entire history, the fund dumped more than 70% of its value in the last year of its life.
Autopilot Managed Growth: Started in 2006, the sponsor of this long-short equity fund suggested that investors "put their investment in the fund on 'autopilot' by investing for the long term and deferring day-to-day investment decisions to the active management of the adviser."
Who's been naughty in the fund industry?
Chuck Jaffe presents his 17th Annual "Lump of Coal Awards." (Photo: AP)
What a pleasant way to cloak the fact that managers wanted passive shareholders who stopped plotting their own course and paying attention to whether they were headed for their financial destination.
Alas, AutoPilot's managers apparently stopped paying attention, too. Witness the fund's website (www.autopilotfunds.com) — still active, apparently on autopilot, despite the fund's liquidation six months ago; it describes Autopilot Managed Growth as "newly created," a label that last was accurate in 2006.
Since then, the Autopilot fund took shareholders on a bumpy flight; it was in the bottom 5% of its peer group for its last one- and three-year periods, and bottom quintile since inception. The marketing said "smooth ride," but the results said, "Break out the fund-sickness bag."
The FocusShare Morningstar ETFs: I used to believe the fastest way to make a billion-dollar fund would have been to put Morningstar in the name, since the Chicago-based firm's research is seen as the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval by average investors. This collection of 15 ETFs proved me wrong, showing that investors look past what's in a name.
Alas, the Morningstar sector indexes used for these funds are well-constructed and planned, and may be better than some older, better-known indexes that are much more popular. In fact, 13 of the 15 ETFs were above-average in their asset category over their short lives. So while investors seem to have figured out that a fund's name doesn't matter much, they missed out on the fact that what matters most is what's in the fund itself.

I live in beautiful Vancouver, BC (Canada) and have been sewing for almost 30 years (eek!) My grandmother put my first "real" sewing project in my hands when I was about 8 years old - a counted cross stitch - to ensure my hand sewing was up to par before I was allowed to use a machine. I have recently "retired" and while learning to be a haus frau for my almost vegan hubby and my four-legged Parson Terrier son, I have had a chance to get back to sewing! I hope to be able to share some of my work with you on a fairly regular basis!

St. Lucie only played one game this weekend, a 2-1 win over the Charlotte Stone Crabs (TB) on Saturday, after Isaac washed out Sunday's contest.
LHP Chase Huchingson (pictured) was the star on Saturday, coming one out away from a complete game shutout. His line: 8.2 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3K as he lowered his ERA to 4.17. It's been a tough year for the lanky lefty who has walked 4.3 batters per nine and had a few outings where he did not get out of the first inning.
He told MiLB.com:
"I went through a real mental spell there. I wasn't locked in mentally really at all. Everything just got to me. It's not like I was trying to let that happen and I'm not saying I wasn't lagging physically, either. But I was bouncing from a lot of games early, and I've spent a lot of time on the mental aspect of the game. I'm focusing on what I can control. That's it."
DH Darrell Ceciliani was 3-for-5 on Saturday. With five hits between Friday and Saturday, he's up to .333/.390/.464 in 18 games in St. Lucie this year. I think the fact that he'll max out with under 30 regular season games in the FSL will force him to begin 2013 back in St. Lucie.
RF Cory Vaughn was 0-for-4 with two walks, a strikeout and a stolen base. I wrote it over the weekend, but I'll repeat it now: there's plenty to like here as an MLB body produces power and speed, but it might never work with his swing. He's hitting just .241 as part of a .241/.352/.456 line as a 23-year old.
CF Cesar Puello was 1-for-3 with a walk, a HBP and a stolen base. The 21-year old is hitting .260/.329/.417 with six walks and 15 HBP in 59 games in St. Lucie. Oh, and he has 23 extra-base hits while going 17-for-19 stealing bases. Puello is hitting .308/.400/.538 with eight extra-base hits, two walks and 6 HBP in 16 games in August. Getting plunked is a repeatable skill, but he's still going to have to learn to walk a little more. His play has hardly screamed "ready for AA" either so the guess here is that barring a monster finish, playoffs and spring training, he repeats the FSL to start 2013 too.

As Carbon lawmakers prepare to hammer out the details of next year's budget, county officials expect modest increases in revenue sources.
While rising costs will consume much of the new funds, elected officials expect to maintain a surplus which has been accruing in recent years.
"We have been able to balance our general fund and municipal services fund of $17 million for 2005 and maintain an adequate surplus to cover emergencies or budget shortfalls," reported Commissioner Bill Krompel in a memo to county supervisors and elected officials.
Between 2004 and 2005, Krompel noted that the county saw some growth in three general areas.
Sales tax revenues increased 19 percent from $1.5 million in 2004 to $1.8 million in 2005.
The total market value for property in Carbon County grew from $2 billion in 2005 to more than $2.3 billion in 2006.
Property tax is only assessed on a portion of the total market value. The taxable value of property in the county saw a 16 percent increase in property tax revenues - representing about $274 million in taxable property growth - from $1.7 million to almost $2 million.
Finally, money from mineral leases is expected to increase this year.
Based on three quarters of mineral lease revenues, Krompel said he expects revenues to total more than $10 million this year, up 43 percent from $7 million last year.
State accounting laws mandate that at least 75 percent of any surplus revenues in any district accounts spent or earmarked.
In future years, the district may have more flexibility in spending those funds, as the county has begun the process of expanding the district.
County officials plan to pass a resolution, which would add emergency dispatch, fire protection, garbage collection and animal control as allowed areas for the district to fund.
Currently, the district only funds recreation and transportation. By taking the route of expanding the district's reach, the county will protect the payments in lieu of taxes it receives from the federal government.
At the end of 2005, the county had its largest surplus in five years.
The general fund had a surplus of more than $1 million last year and the municipal services fund showed more than $3.2 million surplus - money that it keeps for emergencies or budget shortfalls.
In the last 20 years, there have been only two times that the county has reported a larger surplus.
In 1999, the county has a $1.7 million surplus in its general fund and, in 2000, $1.8 million. As recently as 2002, the county had a much smaller general fund surplus, when Carbon governement reported slightly more than $31,000.
Similarly, the municipal services fund has not always had as large of a surplus. In 2003, the surplus was $603,000. But in the last two years, the surplus has more than quadrupled.
The figures show a better picture than 20 years ago, when the of more than $400,000. Only twice in the last 15 years, has the county reported a surplus less than $100,000.
In addition to the surpluses in the general and the municipal services funds, the county also has more then $173,000 in its class B roads fund and $253,000 reserved from restaurant tax revenues.
However, growth in the county budgets has not come without additional costs.
Governments everywhere face the same costs increases that have impacted businesses.
Fuel costs rose dramatically in 2006 before beginning to fall in the past month.
Materials used in road construction and other infrastructure have gone up in price as well, with some going up four or five times.
The largest budgets in 2005 included:
The county jail, consuming more than $1.6 million.
The sheriff's department at $1.6 million.
The county road department at $1.2 million .
The county's class B roads fund, at $1.1 million.
All other budgets stayed significantly lower than $1 million, with the ambulance garage coming the closest with a $546,000 budget.
In 2005, the total general fund budget for the county registered at more than $9.8 million. The municipal services fund budget was more than $7.1 million.
In preparing for next year's budget, county commissioners urged department supervisors to prioritize their funding requests.
At a county government meeting two weeks ago, Commissioner Michael Milovich indicated that the total of the requests is often double the amount of the total budget.
"I would like to recommend [prioritizing] funding requests, especially in equipment and capital improvement projects," stated Krompel.
The commission has scheduled the preliminary approval of the county's budget for mid November. The final budget will need to be approved before the end of the year.

2008 Year in review
Way back at the end of 2006, we did a review of the year's climate science discussion. It's that time of year again and so we've decided to give it another go. Feel free to suggest your own categories and winners…
Most clueless US politician talking about climate change (with the exception of Senator Inhofe who'd always win):
Sarah Palin:
Well, we're the only Arctic state, of course, Alaska. So we feel the impacts more than any other state, up there with the changes in climates. And certainly, it is apparent. We have erosion issues. And we have melting sea ice, of course. [….] You know there are – there are man's activities that can be contributed to the issues that we're dealing with now, these impacts. I'm not going to solely blame all of man's activities on changes in climate.
Most puzzling finding from 2006 that has yet to be convincingly replicated:
Most reckless extrapolation of short term trends:
Michael "All global warming has been erased" Asher (Daily Tech)
This year's most (unsurprisingly) abused study:
Keenlyside et al. initialised climate forecasts (and no, they didn't take our bet).
Climate scientist with biggest disconnect between his peer-reviewed papers and his online discussions:
Most worn out contrarian cliche:
The "Gore Effect". This combines the irrelevant confusion of climate with weather and the slightly manic obsession with Al Gore over the actual science. Do please grow up.
Most bizarre new contrarian claim:
Global warming is caused by undersea volcanoes (and pirates!).
The S. Fred Singer award for the most dizzying turn-around of a climate pseudo-skeptic:
Dennis Avery: "Global warming is likely to continue" (2006) , to global warming is "unstoppable" (2006), to "Say Good-Bye To Global Warming And Hello To Global Cooling!" (2008).
Pottiest peer on the contrarian comedy circuit:
Viscount Monckton of Brenchley
Least unexpected observations:
(Joint winners) 2008 near-record minima in Arctic sea ice extent, last decade of record warmth, long term increases in ocean heat content, record increases in CO2 emissions.
Most consistently wrong media outlet:
The Australian (runner-up the UK Daily Telegraph). Both comfortably beating out the perennial favorite, the Wall Street Journal – maybe things have really changed there?
Best actual good news:
The grown-ups being back in charge starting January 20 (compare with this).
Most inaccurate attempted insinuation about RealClimate:
'The Soros-funded Realclimate.org' Chris Horner

We'll respond shortly.
"Anybody have any experience using the oath gem without net/http? There are some things we want to do that it's not good at"
Like posting large files? Shell out to curl. There are a couple things nobody seems to have done right, yet, and that you just have to use curl for.
"What is the right gem to use for AWS? The official one seems newer than this right_aws that hasn't had a commit in a couple years"
You are probably looking at the wrong version. Another project was using right_aws and they swear it's newer than that. It sounds like the gem forked and you probably want the RightScale one. Either way it definitely works better than Amazons ec2 gem, which will get the job done sometimes, but is less than optimal.
Testing right_aws with webmock
A team was seeing webmock continuing to feed a bad result to all of their tests (within a timeout for the shared connection) when one failed, instead of trying again. They switched to using connection=dedicated instead of shared.
> "Anybody have any experience using the oath gem without net/http? There are some things we want to do that it's not good at"
The oauth2 gem (no idea if they are compatible) uses faraday, which has adapters for typhoeus and patron. One of those two should be capable of transferring big files.
> "What is the right gem to use for AWS? The official one seems newer than this right_aws that hasn't had a commit in a couple years"
right_aws wasn't being worked on, and it got forked into appoxy's aws. Unfortunately, neither has a lot of active development, and they have since diverged. They still share a large portion of the code, but differ in small ways from what I can tell.
Also, a lot of the different AWS services have specialized gems just for them, so that might be worth looking into if you're not buying into AWS whole hog.
> Testing right_aws with webmock
right_aws has a dependency on right_http_connection, which by default (maybe?) keeps one connection object per thread. It might be keeping a state in between tests and screwing things up.
Regarding my comment during Standup that it appeared that right_aws not being updated for two years – I was wrong.
I was looking at the wrong git repo – [RightScale's right_aws repo](http://github.com/rightscale/right_aws) has commits as recently as June this year and so far it appears to meet our, fairly simple, needs.
@pete: Thanks for the tip. Well look for specialized gems for each AWS service if/when our needs grow more complex.
I'd recommend using Fog to interact with S3. In my experience, it's been a pleasure to work with, and is under (very) active development sponsored by Engine Yard.

NAIROBI, Kenya (Caixin Online) — Every day, about a dozen mobile phone wholesalers field orders and manufacturer offers from offices inside a nondescript, five-story building on Luthuli Avenue in downtown Nairobi.
The building doesn't look like a hub for global commerce, nor does it have a name. But the Chinese wholesalers inside have sold millions of knock-off and budget-priced handhelds to Kenyans and the consumers across East Africa in recent years.
Indeed, the Luthuli Avenue wholesalers and their African retail partners have closed deals for about half of all phones sold in East Africa since 2009.
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.
• Get the Caixin e-newsletter
All of these devices were made in China and sold with either pirated brand-name labels or through relatively obscure, but legitimate companies such as Techno, Oking, G-Tide, Forme and X-TIGI.
These low-cost, sometimes short-lived devices, have shaped the common Kenyan's impression of "made in China" — too often for the worse. Moreover, some say Chinese wholesalers pouring cheap phones into Kenya have torn a fissure in Sino-Kenyan relations.
The strain reached new heights in August, when hundreds of domestic traders took to Nairobi's streets for anti-China demonstrations. Chinese phone dealers were targets of this wrath.
The protests coincided with a visit to Kenya by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and were eventually quelled after the Chinese Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya's president and parliament intervened.
The phone furor prompted Kenya's four telecom operators, cooperating with the government, to start immobilizing the worst of the Chinese traders by adjusting mobile phone signals to effectively block every counterfeit handset in the country.
Telecoms in neighboring Uganda and Tanzania — the ultimate destinations for a sizeable proportion of the phones sold on Luthuli Avenue — are reportedly also weighing the pros and cons of counterfeit-phone lockouts.
Telecom signal tweaking in Kenya was aimed at about 3 million counterfeits among the nearly 30 million handhelds in use nationwide, according to the government's Communications Commission. About 75% of the nation's consumers own a mobile phone.
China's half
Despite the protests and telecom action, low-cost Chinese handset makers appear to have cemented a strong presence on the East African market and are in for the long haul.
Ghana and Uganda offer promise for brave investor
Political stability, the rise of mobile technology, oil discoveries and a growing middle class are piquing the interest of investors. But risks remain.
• 3 Uganda sectors set to benefit from oil boom
• SAB Miller looks to grow in Ghana, Uganda
• 10 to follow if you want to invest in Africa
• Six lessons from Ghana's 2012 elections
• The New Tigers: Europe | Latin America | Asia
Global giants Samsung SSNLF, +14.29% and Nokia NOK, -1.00% together supply about 50% of the estimated 1 million mobile phones sold in Kenya to all East African buyers every month.
But the rest of the market is in Chinese hands. The Chinese device maker Tecno Telecom Ltd. sells about 300,000 units monthly, the company says, while wholesalers on Luthuli Avenue said they sell about 200,000 units combined every month.
Some Nairobi-based wholesalers and their manufacturing partners in Shenzhen or other electronics hubs in China got a start in Africa through the counterfeit business and later switched to legitimate operations.
The founder of the company that makes Tecno phones, Zhu Zhaojiang, launched the business in 2007 without a counterfeit phase and two years later expanded into Africa.
The company quickly opened offices in 17 countries across the continent. In addition to a Nairobi headquarters for East African sales, the company has an office in Lagos to oversee monthly sales of more than 1 million units in Nigeria.
"We pulled out of our domestic and Asian markets early and made Africa the main focus," said Tecno sales manager Rocky Wang.
"A billion consumers (across Africa.) What a vast market!"
Wang said Tecno is now "a half-step ahead" of other Chinese mobile phone companies and beats the competition because "we don't have the attitude that many Chinese have to make a quick buck for huge profit."
When Tecno first opened in Kenya, Wang said, the company's monthly sales were no more than 40,000 units. At that time, Nokia controlled up to 80% of the market.

In one of her essays in Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose, Flannery O'Connor states, "If the writer believes that our life is and will remain essentially mysterious…such a writer will be interested in what we don't understand rather than in what we do. He will be interested in possibility rather than probability." It is this idea of possibility—of discovery—rather than probability that I try to promote in my classes.
I encourage my students to investigate different topics, different ideas, different research methods, to find new ways of expression. In a discussion of her short story "Real Estate" Lorrie Moore says, "In constructing this tale, I set the main narrative and a secondary narrative running simultaneously toward a particular intersection; then I let them crash there." It is this intersection of parallel worlds and people, the piecing together of a puzzle—turning the pieces this way and the other—that excites in writers the desire to see how and if the pieces fit together and if they do, what kind of picture it makes. This process of exploration is what I invite my students to embrace through the various essays that they write and revise as well as through the various essays that they read and critique.
When I hear my students express fear of exploration and fear of the revision process, I tell them to keep writing—always keep writing—because, as Annie Dillard states in The Writing Life, "That page will teach you to write." My hope is that students will continue to explore and allow the page to persist in its teaching, even in life post-Loyola.

The Slovak capital is a fascinating mixture of post-Soviet, post-Czechoslovak, Habsburg, Hungarian and Jewish cultures. Picturesque Bratislava packs many a historic sight into its compact, eminently walkable centre, panoramically divided by the Danube. And that is exactly what we recommend, put on your comfortable walking shoes and take a trip along Danube. The river not only allows quick, easy waterborne access from Vienna and Budapest, it separates the pretty, partly cobbled Old Town (Stare Mesto) from the Socialist-era residential blocks that stretch over the south bank. Spanning the two is the imposing SNP ('Slovak National Uprising') Bridge, with its distinctive, sci-fi look. You can ride the lift to the panoramic restaurant at the top, a recommended first stop on any short-break visit. Key sights are within easy reach of the bridge. Overlooking the approach road and Old Town around it is Bratislava Castle, set high on a hill, with modern-day Hungary visible on clear days. It hosts exhibitions relating to Slovak history, and a live music and DJ venue, Sub Club ('Subcultures' Music Club') in the cellar. Bratislava also has its own Versailles, the Primate's Palace, containing a Hall of Mirrors, where Habsburg Austria and Napoleonic France signed the Peace of Preßburg after the Battle of Austerlitz. Today it accommodates the town council. The city that was once home to Mozart, Liszt and Beethoven does high-brow culture too – autumn's Bratislava Music Festival is a major event in the region. Summer's Junifest is a mini Munich Oktoberfest, a beer bash involving lashings of tasty local Golden Pheasant, live music and enjoyably silly pageantry.

UMWA attorney Richard Rosenblatt addresses a point regarding union representation at Co-op coal mine during last week's hearing in Price. National Labor Relations Board hearing officer Nancy Brandt presided over the proceedings, which started Tuesday and ended Wednesday.
Lawyers for the two sides will have until early August to present briefs in Denver, Colo.. The NLRB will review the case and make a decision regarding which Co-op workers can vote in an election.
The United Mine Workers of America contends that Co-op employees affiliated with the Kingston religious order should be disqualified from participating in an election. The UMWA maintains that members of the Kingston group are working for the good of the religious order rather than for wages.
Supporters of the Co-op miners and UMWA officials hope the labor board will render a decision in a couple of weeks so an election can be conducted before the end of August.

By DANIEL FLATLEY
During the final State of the State address of his first term, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo took a look back and a look ahead Wednesday as he outlined a progressive agenda tempered with proposals to lower taxes and consolidate government.
North country representatives were encouraged both by the premium Gov. Cuomo placed on tax relief and by his willingness to invest in infrastructure projects in this region.
I certainly welcome the governors comments on cutting taxes, said state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, who said it seemed at least two-thirds of the governors address was devoted to the subject.
Beginning with what he considered his accomplishments so far, Gov. Cuomo, who is expected to run for re-election this year, outlined a broad slate of programs that included economic development, tax-relief and education investment, as well as ethics reform and initiatives aimed at fairness and equality.
In his closing statements, Gov. Cuomo emphasized unity.
Were all in this together, he said. When one of us is raised, were all raised, and when one of us is lowered, were all lowered. Were upstate and were downstate, but were one. Were Latino and were African American, but we are one. We are New York City and we are Buffalo, but we are one.
Much of the governors speech was a review of policy proposals unveiled last year, including a renewed commitment to rooting out government malfeasance via the recommendations of the Moreland Commission on Public Corruption and a strong endorsement of the findings of the Tax Relief Commission, appointed in October.
Even more recent initiatives, such as a $2 billion tax-relief program and a reversal on medical marijuana regulations, were mentioned but not for the first time.
But the governor, a Democrat known for his centrist views, placed notable emphasis on cutting taxes and consolidating government entities in the face of a much more left-leaning position staked out by the newly elected Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City.
The governors emphasis struck a chord with Republican legislators from the north country.
Sen. Ritchie said she is often approached by constituents who say they are having difficulty making their property tax payments or keeping their small businesses open.
There were a lot of interesting and exciting proposals, particularly when you look at upstate regulatory reform and tax relief, said state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome.
During his speech, and on Monday when he first revealed his tax relief proposal, Gov. Cuomo touted the conversion of the states $10 billion deficit to a projected $2 billion surplus.
Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, said the transformation of that deficit is something of which the Legislature could be justifiably proud, though he expressed skepticism about some of the governors tax-relief proposals.
Mr. Blankenbush said a proposal by the governor to freeze property taxes for two years did not go far enough.
We need to focus on reducing it, not freezing it, Mr. Blankenbush said.
He faulted the governor for not talking more about mandate relief reducing the burden the state places on local municipalities, which are forced to raise their property tax levy to meet it.
Mr. Blankenbush also expressed disappointment that the governor did not talk more about upstate farms and agriculture, one of the most important industries in the north country.
There were some good things and some things I wanted to hear more about, Mr. Blankenbush said.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, was pleased with the governors emphasis on economic development and education, especially his proposals to push technology into the states classrooms.
I think overall its a very balanced set of initiatives hes outlined for 2014, Mrs. Russell said.
All four representatives were happy to hear the governor mention the proposed Interstate 98 rooftop highway from Plattsburgh to Watertown, a project that has been discussed for decades.
Gov. Cuomo said he wants the state Department of Transportation to undertake a feasibility study of the proposed road.
While details remain to be seen, representatives were encouraged by the attention the governor seems to be paying to upstate infrastructure.
The impression I have is I was very happy that we have money for upstate New York for bridges and roads, Mr. Blankenbush said, adding that 62 percent of the bridges in his district have been rated below average.

Photo d'actualitéAthènes,CRS,Conflit,Confrontation,Grèce,Horizontal,Manifestant,Manifestation,Tous types de crisesPhotographer LOUISA GOULIAMAKICollection: AFP 2013 AFPProtesters clash with the riot police during a demonstration in Athens on January 12, 2013. Several thousand people demonstrated in Athens to protest recent police operations against squatters in public buildings that have been condemned by the opposition. The protesters -- estimated by police at around 3,500 and nearly double that by media -- marched to the Athens court complex and police headquarters to demand the release of scores of individuals arrested in the sweeps. One of the central Athens buildings, a 19th-century former school, had been occupied for over two decades. The other is a stately block of flats whose former occupants include legendary soprano Maria Callas before her rise to fame.

WINTHROP The basement of Victory Baptist Church, 601 Route 11C, was packed Sunday afternoon with church and community members, children and several tables of toys, school supplies, hygiene items, stuffed animals and small plastic boxes.
The church had been collecting the care package items all year in preparation for the packing party and in participation with Operation Christmas Child, a worldwide effort to reach needy children in more than 130 different countries with goodie-filled shoeboxes at Christmastime.
Were talking about children that have nothing, said Miriam K. MacKinnon, Winthrop. Simple little things that we take for granted are everything to them.
Ms. MacKinnon and Shirley E. LaGarry, Winthrop, are members of Victory Baptist Church who organize the packing party each year. This year, their volunteers will be packing 300 boxes for Operation Christmas Child, an international ministry run by a nonprofit Christian relief organization called Samaritans Purse.
Ms. LaGarry said Victory Baptist Church has been involved with Operation Christmas Child since 1995 and has held packing parties for the past five years. Now the church is a relay center to collect items and boxes, which will be sent to a bigger collection center in Plattsburgh.
The churchs packing project kicked off about 12:30 p.m. Sunday, with item stations set up in gender and age categories. Each station had 10 to 20 different types of items to be packed into a plastic box, secured with a lid and two rubber bands.
Each box has a bar code on it, so the boxes can be tracked as they are shipped.
Ms. LaGarry said that, not only do other churches in the area donate boxes, items and money to the program, but there are other relay centers for Operation Christmas Child in Ogdensburg, Massena and Fowler.
A lot of families do this as a project because its a really cool thing for the kids to learn about giving, Ms. MacKinnon said.
Sean A. Perry, an 11-year-old from Brasher Falls, packed more than three boxes with soap, a washcloth, crayons, colored pencils and toys for boys his age around the world.
Its really cool because you get to give things that you get here and give it to other kids in other countries who dont have this stuff, he said. It would be really cool to get one of these boxes.
Ms. LaGarry said that although the church congregation doesnt usually surpass 50 people, its goal for the packages goes up every year.
They stand behind this mission because its something everybody can do, from the smallest child to the oldest person she said. We all know that St. Lawrence County is not a rich county, but last year this county sent out close to 2,200 boxes. Thats amazing for a community like this and really shows the giving heart.
The cost of shipping is $7 per box. Ms. MacKinnon said that although the group is still accepting money donations, the $2,100 goal was reached before Sunday, as people would mark their donations in the offering plate weeks in advance.
I think its so nice that the church is doing this for all the kids, said Savannah M. Adams, an 11-year-old volunteer from Winthrop. Some people live in places you wouldnt even imagine living in, and if you were that little girl opening this up, youd be so happy.
Since it is National Collection week for the program, Victory Baptist Church will be open and accepting donations from 6 to 8 p.m. today through Thursday, 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. Sunday and 8 to 10 a.m. Nov. 25.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Late Tuesday night the House approved a fiscal cliff compromise bill.
It offers no cuts but does tax individuals making more than $400K and couples making more than $450K.
Some see it as a win for Democrats since that was the stipulation President Obama was hoping for in a compromise.
It also extends expiring unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless, prevents a cut in fees for doctors who treat Medicare patients and cancels a $900 pay increase due to lawmakers in March.
Another provision is designed to prevent a spike in milk prices.

Rod: The Autobiographyby Rod Stewart
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Rod Stewart was born the working class son of a Scottish plumber in north London. Despite some early close shaves with a number of diverse career paths ranging from gravedigging to professional soccer, it was music that truly captured his heart—and he never looked back.
Rod started out in the early 1960s playing the clubs on London's R&B scene before his distinctively raspy voice caught the ear of the iconic front man Long John Baldry, who approached him while he was busking one night on a railway platform. Stints with pioneering acts like the Hoochie Coochie Men, Steampacket, and the Jeff Beck Group soon followed, paving the way into a raucous five years with the Faces, the rock star's rock band, whose onstage and offstage antics with alcohol, wrecked hotel rooms, partying, and groupies have become the stuff of legend. And during all this, he found a spare moment to write "Maggie May," among a few other tunes, and launch a solo career that has seen him sell in excess of 200 million records, be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, and play the world's largest-ever concert. Not bad, as he says, for a guy with a frog in his throat.
And then there is his not-so-private life: marriages, divorces, and affairs with some of the world's most beautiful women—Bond girls, movie stars, and supermodels—a struggle with steroids, and a brush with cancer, in which he almost saw it all slip away.
Rod's is an incredible life, and here— thrillingly and for the first time—he tells the entire thing, leaving no knickers under the bed. A rollicking rock 'n' roll adventure that is at times deeply moving, this is the remarkable journey of a guy with one hell of a voice—and one hell of a head of hair.
The extraordinary life and career of music legend Rod Stewart, in his own words for the first time.
With his soulful and singular voice, narrative songwriting, and passionate live performances Rod Stewart has paved one of the most iconic and successful music careers of all time. He was the charismatic lead singer for the trailblazing rock and roll bands The Jeff Beck Group and The Faces, and as a solo artist, the author of such beloved songs as "Maggie May," "Tonight's the Night," "Hot Legs," "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," "Young Turks," "Forever Young," and "You Wear It Well." Now after more than five decades in the spotlight, he is finally ready to take a candid and romping look back at his life both on and off the stage. From his humble British roots to his hell-raising years on tour with his bandmates, not forgetting his great loves (including three marriages and eight children) and decades touring the world, Rod delivers a riveting ride through one of rock's most remarkable lives.
About the Author
ROD STEWART is a two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and a Grammy Living Legend.

He lives with his wife, Penny Lancaster, and children in Beverly Hills, California and Epping, Essex.

PAWTUCKET — A health monitoring "call center" based out of New York is moving to a vacant commercial building at 100 Freight Street and bringing with it the promise of 250 jobs.
PAWTUCKET — A health monitoring "call center" based out of New York is moving to a vacant commercial building at 100 Freight Street and bringing with it the promise of 250 jobs.
City officials are hailing the move of Tunstall/American Medical Alert Corporation, which is also purchasing the large brick building, as a bright spot both for those seeking employment as well as that downtrodden neighborhood. In a recent letter to the City Council, Mayor Donald Grebien stated that "AMAC is just the kind of successful and jobs-intensive company the city should continue to work to attract, particularly to a historically economically distressed area such as around Freight Street."
The AMAC unit, with headquarters in New York and annual sales in 2010 of more than $40 million, would consolidate its smaller Cranston facility here and grow the the number of jobs to 250 over the next two years. AMAC was acquired last year by British-based Tunstall Group Ltd., with annual sales of $300 million, "further attesting to its financial stability," said Grebien.
The Freight Street building has been empty since Bank of New York Mellon Corp. moved its operations to Massachusetts last year. There had previously been some discussion among city officials about acquiring the building for municipal functions in light of the ongoing problems with a leaking tower at Pawtucket City Hall.
Grebien noted that the move was the result of "hard work by members of my administration, led by Administration Director Tony Pires, and in cooperation with the Governor's Office and the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation."
As part of the relocation deal, there is a legislative proposal to designate federal census tracts encompassing the Freight Street site within the city as a state enterprise zone under the state's Distressed Areas Economic Revitalization Act.
Under the proposal, the state, through the Department of Labor and Training, will be providing job training for 60 future Tunstall employees. It will also provide tax incentives for the company tied to the new jobs through the enterprise zoning program. At its Nov. 7 meeting, the City Council voted to support a resolution from the mayor in support of the legislation and urging the local delegation to pass it.
"This major investment by a leading company in its field is great news for the city and helps assure Pawtucket will be on the map when other corporations are looking for outstanding places to do business from Boston to New York, where AMAC is headquarterd," said Grebien, in a press release. "The city administration will now take an active role to help assure that AMAC gets what it may need, as we go forward in cooperation with the Pawtucket City Council, to bring an eventual 250 jobs here and become a building block for our local economy."
