NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — One of the investment community's great national pastimes is guessing which companies loom as possible takeover candidates in the coming year.
An investor can feel gratified in two ways if he or she is crafty enough to predict which companies will be taken over. First, it can be satisfying to have done the research and seen your work pay off.
Then, of course, there is the matter of the tidy profit you reap when the company's stock appreciates during an acquisition.
As for me? Don't worry. I don't have a horse in the race. That's because I adhere to my employer's ground rules, so I don't invest in media stocks. We want to make sure that there is not even an appearance of a conflict of interest in my columns.
So, if any of these takeover stories comes to fruition in 2013, I will happily settle 12 months from now for the gratification of writing, "I told you so."
1) Scripps Networks Interactive Inc., SNI, +0.56% The Suspense Builds: One of the leading lifestyle-content providers has plenty to offer a prospective buyer. It controls HGTV, the Travel Channel and the ever-popular Food Network.
Last October, the death of 94-year-old Robert P. Scripps, a grandson of company founder Edward W. Scripps, threatened to change the structure of the company. The Edward W. Scripps Trust controlled the company.
Last August, TheStreet suggested that Walt Disney Co. DIS, +0.91% might jump in and offer about $10 billion to acquire the company. TheStreet reported that Disney's "next blockbuster" could turn out to be an acquisition of Scripps Networks Interactive.
Wall Street is still waiting to see how the Scripps situation shakes out. But as The Wall Street Journal noted in a piece in October, immediately following the news of the Scripps death: "That's not to say a deal couldn't be done. A good offer could prompt the family to agree to sell."
2) Sirius XM Satellite Radio SIRI, -1.03% Where There's Smoke: The state of 10-year-old Sirius continues to raise eyebrows along the media landscape. Liberty Media owns 49.8% of Sirius and is all but wielding control over the satellite radio company.
And this week, Sirius named sales and operations chief James Meyer to be its interim chief executive, effective at once, to fill the shoes of the outgoing CEO Mel Karmazin. Karmazin is exiting as Liberty Media doggedly attempts to secure a controlling interest.
On Oct. 2, shares of Sirius reached a four-year high in robust volume after a Citi analyst hiked his investment rating for Liberty Media LMCA, +0.16% on, as Investors Business Daily noted, "the probability the media company will buy Sirius."
3) Dish Network. The Takeover Stock That Cried Wolf: Yes, again, the media are raising the possibility that Dish DISH, -0.65% will be gobbled up. Wireless industry observers have heard the talk before, and before that as well.
Wall Street's true believers have opined that DirectTV US:DTV or AT&T T, -0.78% might want to take it over at some point.

Cornilles is the Republican nominee in the Jan. 31 special election to replace former U.S. Rep. David Wu. He's running by talking up his credentials on the No. 1 issue voters want to hear about: creating Oregon jobs.
His proof has been the success of his sports marketing company, Game Face, which his campaign claims is "one of the most influential consulting and executive training firms in the sports industry—worldwide."
But news reports have since shrunk those claims down to size, citing problems with regulators, tax liens and the fact his company is a ghost of its former self.
What has received less attention is one of Cornilles' chief campaign pitches: that tax breaks hurt small businesses and their ability to create jobs.
"Who gets stuck paying a full tax bill?" Cornilles asks on his campaign website. "People like you and me, and small and medium-sized companies like the ones in Oregon that don't have tens of millions of dollars to stuff the tax code with special-interest perks."
HERE'S THE PITCH: Cornilles' ad.
But earlier this year, Cornilles led a team that proposed revamping Portland's Veterans Memorial Coliseum—a plan that counted on millions of tax breaks for its investors.
Cornilles and his partners proposed an $80 million remodel of Memorial Coliseum that relied on big tax breaks for its investors.
He and his partners, financier Kirk Iverson and producer Tim Lawrence, sought to turn the Coliseum into what they called an "Oregon Media Free Enterprise Zone."
Dubbed the Veterans Media Center, the former Coliseum site would become a giant multimedia facility, including sound stages, production studios and three theaters.
"This concept is quintessentially Portland," Cornilles says on the proposal's website. "Veterans Media Center will fuse Oregon's creativity and natural resources with an industry searching for a more sustainable place to produce innovative content. We'll create family wage jobs while expanding a market, and our region will experience such an economic boon that we'll find ourselves front and center on the worldwide media stage."
The proposal counted on substantial tax breaks for investors, who "will receive a 100% State of Oregon (transferable) tax write-off in addition to federal matching incentives co-developed by the City," according to a May business plan.
Backers said at the time the proposal could be eligible for as much as $30 million in tax credits.
Cornilles and his partners held a flurry of meetings with elected officials and business leaders this year to pitch the idea.
When WW asked Cornilles about the potential tax breaks, however, he said he didn't recall they were part of his partnership's proposal. (News of the potential for tax credits for the project, however, appeared in news reports; see "Lights! Camera! Coliseum!" WW, May 18, 2011.)
When shown a copy of his group's plan, he said one of his partners wrote it.
"I'm not as familiar with it as you might think," Cornilles says. "It was not a formal proposal." He said the plan was simply "a concept."
The plan so far has had little traction, and Cornilles continues to use his company, Game Face, to bolster his campaign claims that he's a job creator.
"Oregon needs job creators and career builders, something Rob has been doing successfully for nearly 20 years," his campaign says. "Voters of the First Congressional District have an alternative. In this Special Election, we can choose between a career politician or a career builder."
His opponent, state Sen. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Beaverton), has no record of job creation. She's worked as a government lawyer for three years, and in private practice for another three before giving up her practice to raise a family.
That's given Cornilles an open field to talk about his experience as a businessman and to promote his plans to create jobs.
Cornilles founded Game Face Inc., in Tualatin in 1995. Since then, the company has worked in three areas of the sports business. He trained people to become sports franchise employees, recruited front-office personnel for sports teams, and advised and trained teams how to sell more tickets.
"We have an unusual and unprecedented ability to actually know what teams want and need," Cornilles tells WW.

The Caribbean features a tropical climate with sunshine year-round, making a Caribbean vacation worthwhile no matter what time of the year. The region experiences dry and wet seasons, plus much warmer months, so the best time to visit boils down to whether you prefer perfect weather or lower hotel rates.
January to May tend to be drier months, and are more popular with travelers -- especially in January. From early spring through summer, more rain and hotter temperatures (plus cool trade winds) make this an ideal time to find great deals on a Caribbean vacation. Hurricane season officially spans from June through November, and early December is the best time to go for low hotel rates and few crowds.

Neverwinter is PAY 2 WIN, there whole Market is based on Pay 2 WIN, especially for PvP....
Nano.. Nano.. Nano..
Tera is fun endgame. the only reason I dont play is because of their server and interface lag. It can be insane sometimes, and during the time I was playing, they never attempted to improve it, so I got tired of the game. At least it isn't p2w, and from what I saw in korean version they're gonna add dyable costumes later. If you like dressing up your char that's also fun. If you're an elin anyways lol. Most other races dont have shit for costumes.
Yeah everyone loves Elin.
There costumes are off the HOOK, they look so cool in all the crazy stuff...
Nano.. Nano.. Nano..
Neverwinter has about 1-2 weeks of content. After that all you do is run the same few dungeons, but even that becomes unnecessary because few days of grinding them can easily get you best gear, not best enchants though.
Tera on the other hand has a lot more content / grind to go through, but.... pray for gods of computer that your parts/drivers happen to be just the correct one. It is like trying to win lotto or something to get good fps on this game. A lot of i7 cpu with 1k euro gfx cards can barely break like 30 fps in pvp. This low fps thing for me was the reason to stop playing the game. Not that I have a killer computer, but if my fps drops from 130 to 30 just because of showing UI, then something is definitely wrong with this game. Also if you think this will be fixed, the problem has been on there over 1 year, so most likely it will never be fixed.
In other words pick your poison or you could also choose FFXIV which is going to come out in a week.
I'd pick TERA, because Neverwinter never pleased me. I also still have TERA installed on my computer, but never play it anymore.
It's a good game, I like it for at least. I just can't bring myself to play it currently, can't figure out why...
Wakfu: Roxie HubrecutOriginally Posted by Your average commentor
Also feel free to check the list of action MMORPG: http://www.onrpg.com/boards/threads/...on-MMORPG-List
Though I think if you look for an action MMORPG then Tera is actually a fairly good choice. It's NOT more repetitive than Vindictus.
Tera easily.
TERA has very boring quests with a difficult to follow plot line. Only reason to play is for the PvP and even that has died down since the Vanarch nerf.
NeverWinter has very good questing and storyline but it peters out about after a week where the game just kind of ends. Worth the download but move on when you are done with it.
Vindictus starts slow but gets better as the story progresses. Vindictus is the action combat king and the first MMO with destructible environment. Play it long term for the action and many challenging raids.
Vindictus is pretty much dead lol.

Hey Toby, I know it\'s a little early, but exciting to think about. Any idea who the Mets might look to take in the 2013 draft? A lot of mocks have them looking pitcher at Bobby Wahl. You\'re thoughts?
Yali asks:
Does the Mets 11th pick of next years draft get protected since they basically are only drafting 11th because the Pirates were unable to sign the 9th pick of last years draft?
Yali's question first. No, the Mets' 11th overall pick is NOT protected this year. The rule is that the top 10 picks are protected. In 2013, that includes the teams with the nine worst overall records, and the Pirates, who pick up a compensation pick for failing to sign their 2012 first rounder Mark Appel from Stanford. The Mets finished with the 10th worst overall record at 74-88. The 2013 draft order is here at MLB Trade Rumors.
This is bad news for the Mets. In the event that the Mets sign a free agent who qualifies for compensation, they would have to forfeit their first round draft pick. Obviously, this decreases the (already slim) odds that the Mets will sign an impact free agent.
John's question next. As far as being excited about the Mets owning the 11th pick, I would not qualify myself as excited about it. I'd rather see the Mets win 95 games, make the playoffs and pick at the back end of the first round.
Secondly, mock drafts in September or October, 10 months out from the draft are sheer folly. I had to google Bobby Wahl. He's a right-handed pitcher out of Mississippi, who Keith Law at ESPN had ranked #11 in the '13 draft class in his late August rankings, citing his "above average fastball/breaking ball combo." So, yes, he's a reasonable potential target. This is his Mississippi profile and this is a profile at bigleaguefutures.net. In the last few Alderson/dePodesta drafts, the Mets have gone after college pitchers with extremely low walk rates, and strong K/BB rates. Wahl had a 2.9 BB/9 (32 BB/99 IP) in his sophomore season with a 3.25 K/BB ratio (104 K/32 BB). However, I suspect that for the Mets to be really interested at #11, they would want to see an even lower walk rate this year in college or indications his control would improve as a professional.

Justin J. Junkus, President, KnowledgeLink
But then he ran out of time to draw a new face for Justin, so had to get the old, screwed-up one out of the bin, unfold it and use it as is, sending poor Justin out into the world with a rejected, screwed-up design for a face.
Or maybe he was involved in a mangle accident as a baby, and the soft bones all reset a bit wrong. More details on Justin J. Junkus can be found here if you want to play Face Detective. Thanks to "Father Viv" for submitting the photo, which he spotted in "last month's Broadband World" should you need a glossy version to frame.

I didn't get where I am today by worrying about my looks, Reggie. Neither Mrs CJ nor I got where we are today by worrying about our looks!
Cigar, Reggie?
We are not the sort of company that uses a man up and spits him out.
Goodbye , Reggie.

This post defies all credibility. I had to Google to verify that there really is a man who looks like this and that his name really is Justin J. Junkus. Who the hell is called Junkus? And who then names their kid "Justin J"? We shudder to think what the J might stand for... Jell-O? Jermaine? Jesus?
Anyway, kudos to Junkus for not ending up in the vaudeville circuit with that name and face. How did he manage to climb the corporate ladder? After all, phrases like 'You can count on Junkus' or 'Good work, JJJ' don't exactly roll off the tongue.
When he attends cocktail parties with his wife, colleagues are known to snicker behind their back while mumbling "Junkus in the trunkus".

I reckon ole Triple-J doesn't actually look like that, it's just an old photo they digitised with a wonky hand-held scanner rather than a flatbed - those lines on his forehead are actually closer together than that normally but they thought this was an improvement as he looked happier

America was founded as a Constitutional Republic but all of your actions have ignored that fact. Now we hear that you are considering raising the debt ceiling without Congressional approval. Historically the House of Representatives has that responsibility yet, you think you can decree the debt ceiling raised like a common dictator or king.
You can start wars, appoint czars, shut down drilling in the gulf, deny Texas funding for fires while showering New Mexico with money for fires, and appoint lying Supreme Court judges with pretty much zero oversight. You can do all these things in between golf games and million dollar vacations for your wife.
You tell us that we need to be more patient with your policies to take hold so that we can see the results we are all longing for. The problem is that the second recession has already started and some are calling it by its right name; a depression. Things are falling apart in America.
The government is peeling off its stimulus programs, gas and food prices skyrocketed. Since then, the difference between last year and this year has been near zero in real terms. That drop suggests the U.S. may have entered into a recession months ago. It would appear that your trillion dollar stimulus is a bust failing to create any substantial American jobs.
Your tenure so far as president is a total failure. Facts are facts. We have grown to know you pretty well over that time and your actions are predictable. Four more years of failed policies.
Take the scandal in your Department of Justice (DOJ) known as operation Gun Walker where you decided to sell thousands of guns to the Mexican drug cartels. The DOJ created that mess but then you and your minions decided to turn it into a gun control issue with Secretary of State Clinton and the President of Mexico blaming American gun manufacturers for all the deaths from the sale of these guns. Nice try but you got busted by Senator Grassley and House member Issa.
Then the lies to cover-up the real story why you failed to protect our ambassador and three Americans in Libya avoiding your first responsibility to protect Americans abroad. You turned your back on them to fly to Los Vegas. Allowing them to be murdered by terrorists. Only you know the real truth and you aren't talking.
Even when it is obvious to the whole world that you and you minions are responsible for this blood bath on the Arizona border the casualties keep rolling in. You have flooded the border with guns and Arizonans are being killed routinely, yet you hang onto your crisis making mechanism.
You are very predictable the same old Marxist-Socialist playbook. First you create a crisis; then you blame someone who has nothing to do with the crisis. Then you implement whatever policy you wanted from the start. Our reason for mentioning your predictability is it makes you very transparent. There is no mystery about what you will do.
Take your latest fight with the Republicans on the debt ceiling. Step one to create a crisis where people believe the government is going to collapse. Step two is to blame it on someone like the Republicans who had nothing to do with the problem which is a grotesque trillion dollar spending spree which we do not have. Step three is to implement the policy you wanted to anyway.
In this case, while all eyes are on the debt ceiling fight, the Fed has already started QE3. These bailouts are unlimited. While no one is paying attention, you have figured out a way to get what you wanted all along, unlimited printing of phony money for whatever you want.
Whether you go in through the front door with trillion dollar bailouts or you slide in through the back door with unlimited bank bailouts uncontrolled spending is uncontrolled spending. How long do you think it will take for those unlimited dollars to make their way back to the United States?
It is as easy as a few wire transfers. In the end both parties are going to seem reasonable regarding the debt ceiling for the sake of all the suckered in Zombie voters when in reality both parties knew the fix was in with these back door bailouts.
Now you have a open door to shove ObamaCare down our throats that the majority of Americans don't want.
It just does not seem like you know what you are doing. Whatever you promise the opposite happens.
Either you are a flake and or you are a Marxist-socialist walking cliché hiding in a Trojan horse determined to eradicate the United States from the face of the planet.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
East Carbon police are waiting for a chemical analysis of substances found during a search of a home on 600 West Saturday night.
Local officers along with a K-9 Unit from the Utah Highway Patrol served a warrant at the residence of Leonard Carrillo at 9:45 p.m.
East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard said Officer Kelsey Shumway saw suspicious materials during a medical call at the residence the day before and was therefore able to secure a warrant.
According to eye witnesses on scene, East Carbon police had to breach the door when no one answered at the residence. They then proceeded to go through the large home, even having the dog and its handler go around the vehicles parked in the driveway.
Leonard reported that the search produced several substances which the state crime lab is analyzing. The police team spent a large portion of the evening trying to gain entrance to a safe within the home. However, after a family member was unable to open the safe and a local locksmith was also shut out by the unit, the Carbon County District Attorney advised the officers to proceed with the evidence they had already seized. Due to a large backlog of work, it could take the crime lab some time to get back to the department with a chemical analysis of the material found.
No further action can be taken until the material found is positively identified.

Unley to Stirling 139km
Daggers from the weather, the course, the peloton
With a clear race leader, the 139km (87mi) Stage Three of the Santos Tour Down Under started to resemble the latter days of a long stage race. In many respects, the race was more orderly than in stages past, but the weather, a roasting 38˚ Celsius (100˚ Fahrenheit), an undulating course where it was hard to get a rhythm, and riders hunting for stages, conspired to make this a tough day in the saddle.
The early attack today did not come from a UniSA rider, but from an alumnus of that program and the winner of this stage last year, Will Clarke of Argos-Shimano. He built up an early lead with Orica-Greenedge's Simon Clarke (no relation). Race leader Geraint Thomas' Sky team rode tempo behind, with no one willing to help.
The six circuits of Stirling were expected to blow the field apart early and leave only the strongest to contest the finish, but with two circuits remaining, the field was largely intact and about to absorb the two-man break. That's when things got interesting. A ten-man move escaped from the peloton, and just as they were about to be reabsorbed, Cannondale's Brian Vandborg kept the pressure on and spurred a six-man group to escape Sky's grasp. They picked up the two-man break, and the eight racers worked well together to establish a 20-second gap that Sky had to work overtime just to hold close.
As the last lap started, both the break and the Sky-led peloton looked exhausted. A few riders in the break decided they weren't done, and an attack amongst the leaders shed an overheated Brian. His remaining break makes were dangling at 6km (4mi) to go when riders attacking from the dwindling peloton went by the exhausted break. Sky's grip on the race was shaky, and RadioShack's Tiago Machado, a threat to Thomas' race lead attacked, and gained time. His move looked good until, with 1.5km (.9mi) remaining, his legs exploded.
Sensing an opportunity, Cannondale's Cameron Wurf put in his bid for glory. The remaining distance to the finish line was uphill, so any hesitation from the peloton would help him towards the stage win. Under the red kite, and into the final kilometer, the field paused. This was his chance. A stage win would be a great way to signal a return to form. "Unfortunately, following my fall yesterday and due to the major pain in my ribs, I was unable to take a deep breath without excruciating pain and instantly exploded with 400 meters to go," Cam reported after the finish.
Then Team Blanco rushed to the front, sheltering their fast man Tom Slagter. Slagter, catching the sprinters off balance, raced by Cam, and held on for the win ahead of Orica- Greenedge's Matt Goss and World Champion Philippe Gilbert of BMC.
The win and resulting time bonus moved Slagter to five seconds down on Thomas. It would have been only a four-second gap, but Thomas had wisely sprinted for and won a one-second bonus at the first intermediate sprint. That second could matter for the final standings, as the race should be a nail-biter until the final sprint.
Stage Four, the 126.5km (79mi) ride from Modbury to Tanuda is rolling, but finishes on a flat road after almost 30km (18mi) of descending. This finish should favor the well-oiled sprint train of Lotto-Belisol and points to a victory by their big man, Andre Greipel. But every day brings opportunities for attackers to race smart and outwit the sprinters teams. Now that Cannondale has changed their strategy to favor stage hunting, expect the guys in green to figure in the action.

DeWitt County will be purchasing a new notification system to alert citizens during emergencies, in part, with a contribution from Exelon.
Clinton, IL – DeWitt County will be purchasing a new notification system to alert citizens during emergencies, in part, with a contribution from Exelon. This new crisis communications tool serves as a reliable method of mass communication that will fully and automatically inform the community of issues allowing first responders and emergency personnel to focus on providing the aid and services needed.
Exelon's Clinton Power Station recently hosted county and community leaders for an informational luncheon and presented a check for $10,000 to DeWitt County in continuing support of the new system. "This capability makes DeWitt County residents safer," said DeWitt County Sherriff, Jered Shofner. "We would not have this without Exelon's continue support. Clinton Power Station is a great neighbor and a huge player in keeping DeWitt County safe," Shofner said.
The new notification system can instantly send large volumes of interactive calls to landlines, mobile devices, answering machines and voicemail and can also be web-based. It's a total system that provides everything needed to deliver outbound calls in the event of disasters, child abductions, severe weather, school closings or major road construction.
"Working hand-in-hand with community first responders multiple times in a given year keeps us all on the same page," said Bill Noll, site vice president for Clinton Power Station, "and continuing our support for this system is one more way we can do that and it makes the station and the community a safer place to be."
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

The Indians have signed Mark Reynolds to a one-year contract worth $6MM, says Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com (via Twitter) after Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com first reported that a deal was imminent (on Twitter). With Reynolds manning first base, the Indians will turn to Lonnie Chisenhall, which eliminates any possibility of Kevin Youkilis heading to Cleveland, writes Heyman (Twitter link).
The 29-year-old Reynolds batted .221/.335/.429 with 23 long balls for the Orioles this year in a roller coaster season. Reynolds had just a .681 OPS on Aug. 5 before exploding to bat .284/.399/.610 with 13 of his 23 homers over the next 40 games. He then slumped to finish the season, collecting just six hits in his final 48 trips to the plate.

MASSENA - Three members of the St. Lawrence chapter of New York State Women, Inc., were waiting in line Thursday afternoon at the Department of Motor Vehicles office in Massena.
But they werent there for vehicle-related business.
They were there to congratulate one of the employees, Janet Otto-Cassada, who had been named St. Lawrence Countys Woman of the Year for 2013.
Chairperson Susan Bellor said they had received several letters of nomination for this years honor and Ms. Otto-Cassada, who is also the mayor of Waddington, stood out when their committee scored all of the nominees. According to Mrs. Bellor, Ms. Otto-Cassada easily came up with the highest scores.
Thursdays visit by Mrs. Bellor, Pat McGrath and Miriam Ralston was a surprise for Ms. Otto-Cassada. She was behind the counter waiting on customers. Once she was free, she was presented with a bouquet of flowers.
We would like to congratulate you, Mrs. Bellor said.
Among those who had written letters nominating Ms. Otto-Cassada were Russell B. Strait, Cheryl D. Dumas and Lee Rutherford.
Russ had said something about (the nomination), Ms. Otto-Cassada said.
Still, it caught her by surprise, she said as she came out to hug the women for bestowing the honor on her.
Nomination letters had to include among other things, the persons accomplishments, volunteer activities and why she should be considered at St. Lawrence Countys Woman of the Year.
The nominees, who had to reside in St. Lawrence County, needed to have made outstanding accomplishments in their professional lives, demonstrated service to their communities and/or churches, and have made positive and outstanding interactions with others around them.
Among Ms. Otto-Cassadas accomplishments, according to the nominating letters, was her role in bringing the 2013 Bassmaster Elite Tournament to Waddington.
Mr. Strait noted that the event had already been turned down by two other entities as too risky both financially and in event organization and coordination.
However, he said, within a week Ms. Otto-Casssada had assessed the risk and reward and presented a plan to her village board in concise manner outlining the risk, the reward and the financial obligations.
The event attracted more than 35,000 people to Waddington, Mr. Strait said.
Her community is forever on the map now, nationwide, The St. Lawrence River is a destination for fisherman all over the world, he said.
Ms. Dumas noted that Ms. Otto-Cassada has put together jamborees for individuals in need, helped with an annual golf tournament to benefit youth in the Waddington community and held two brunches for residents at Hamilton Gardens to hear their concerns and provide assistance.
By far her outstanding accomplishment was her fortitude and unnerving ability to see the big picture for the village of Waddington and all of St. Lawrence County by hosting the 2013 Bass Elite Tournament. This event took well over a year of weekly meetings, many evenings of constant phone calls after having worked her regular eight hour day, Ms. Dumas said.
She said Ms. Otto-Cassada also visited an event in Texas to ensure that all of the necessary steps were in place for this Tournament to be a success.
Ms. Rutherford, in her nominating letter, also applauded the efforts of Ms. Otto-Cassada.
She has donated her time to help with jamborees, golf tournaments that proceeds went to the Waddington Basketball Association and helps with church functions. She is very community-oriented, not to mention her interest in helping local businesses to proper, she wrote.
Janet has made such an accomplishment by bringing the BASS Elite Series to the village of Waddington and St. Lawrence County. This was a huge undertaking with well over a years worth of work, commitment and many meetings. This brought revenues to Waddington and the County, (and) set records for the amount of people attending a BASS Elite Tournament, Ms. Rutherford said.
Ms. Otto-Cassada will be recognized during a Nov. 14 dinner in her honor.
The North Lawrence native is the daughter of Peter and Jane Otto. Her late father was a county legislator for many years, representing the towns of Lawrence and Brasher on the St. Lawrence County Legislature.

VP Tajani meets European CEOs to discuss a strategy for the Fashion Industries Objavljeno: 20/06/2012
European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani will meet in Brussels today with representatives of some of the Europe's biggest fashion companies. The discussion will take place in the framework of the Commission's initiative to reinforce the growth and competitiveness of European fashion industries.
Amongst the participants are the CEOs and directors of some of the most renowned European companies, such as: Zegna, Emilio Pucci, Thomas Pink, Falke, Repetto, Moser and IC Companys (Cottonfield, InWear) as well as Harrods and Le Bon Marché. Vice-President Tajani will present some key actions to be proposed by the Commission this year as part of the EU strategy for the fashion and high-end industries. It is based on actions in three key areas: investing in skills, innovation, creativity, and excellence; ensuring the protection of European creativity and promoting growth in the digital space; ensuring reciprocity and a level playing field in the international business environment and promoting fashion tourism. The EU fashion industries value chain employs directly 5 million people and accounts for 3% of EU GDP, and is therefore an important contributor to the European economy and growth.

Front safety guard
I'm in the process of putting a Bobbed ' 65 back to stock, my dilemma is does the front safety guard mount on the outside or inside of the brake lever / shift bracket ? The parts manual is unclear and doesn't show a needed spacer on the brake side if mounted on the inside, were safety guards an option ? thanks, Tim

Back in early August, we mentioned that the Lingerie Display would be one of the season's standout styles, referring to the multitude of bra-baring looks on the fall runways. But lately we've noticed a new trend that just might have a leg up on the plunging-neckline look: the garter belt. There are a number of theories as to why suspenders are making such a splash right now-the garment itself references the forties, while making it a visible part of an outfit is a very late eighties/early nineties look-but we think it comes to down to the countless thigh-high boots on the market. After all, if your gams are toned and taut enough to wear these semi-scandalous boots, you probably want to show off the fruits of your Pilates-class labor as much as possible, right? Whatever the inspiration, we're just intrigued by the range of ways that red-carpet regulars like Taylor Momsen and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld are incorporating this au currant hosiery trend into their daily wardrobes.
As any Style.com devotee knows, the garter belt snapped back into the fashion industry's collective consciousness relatively recently. Model-turned-designer Erin Wasson was one of the first to officially embrace the trend back in February. For the Fall 09 presentation of Erin Wasson x RVCA, she added suspender belts and thigh-highs to black denim shorts and crushed velvet mini dresses. Wasson wasn't the only one, of course; we also noticed sly undergarment references at Richard Nicoll, boots with garters at Prada, and nearly every single look at the Christian Dior F/W 09 Couture show was accessorized with visible garter belts.
With all these runway examples, it's no wonder that the high-impact hosiery has made its way into a few very famous wardrobes. For example, one early ode to the look came from Julia Restoin-Roitfeld when she attended the Yves Saint Laurent F/W 09 show wearing a pair of Fogal stockings that were embellished with mock garters. (Her exact style is no longer available.) Much like the Henry Holland for Pretty Polly Mock Stockings Tights ($14) we mentioned in our recent Patterned Tights story, JRR's semi-sheer legwear suggests said lingerie without actually requiring any. They're the perfect choice for a body-con frock-such as the American Apparel Double U-Neck Dress ($36) Restoin-Roitfeld wore with a custom-made belt-because they give you a smooth silhouette.
Another way to achieve the look without buying full-blown lingerie is to pick up a garter-inspired article of clothing in the spirit of Daisy Lowe. The lovely Lowe was snapped at a launch party for Bolongaro Trevor wearing Agent Provocateur's Rachel Dress ($990), which is made from knit silk cashmere and comes with detachable working garters. Obviously her frock is quite pricey, but happily there are alternatives such as Natalie Encarnita's eponymous line, which includes lingerie-inspired clothes for the non-designer budget. We think her
Mesh Suspender Leggings ($113) are super chic and don't miss her cheeky take on the Suspender Dress ($140).
Of course, we have a feeling that a few lingerie enthusiasts will want to commit to the full look à la Taylor Momsen and Byrdie Bell. Both ladies were snapped in today's accessory during New York Fashion Week; Momsen wore this key piece to her band's Fashion's Night Out performance, while Bell attended shows in the Bryant Park Tents in her garters. Momsen paired a Kiki De Montparnasse Boyfriend Shirt ($295), vintage Chanel black sequin hot pants, and Phi buckle booties with vintage garters and Wolford's Individual 10 Suspender Stockings ($28). Bell's directional look also features an intriguing mix of high and low: she deftly combined a sheer t-shirt from American Apparel with Brian Atwood Suede Over-The-Knee Boots
($1470) and a bottomless garter belt from Starstruck Vintage. We love the fact that Momsen and Bell opted for antique undergarments and of-the-moment accents; the resulting outfits are totally modern and fresh-just like the ladies who wear this look!

We'll respond shortly.
We have a project that generates a lot of highly precise floating point numbers. However, we primarily want to display these numbers with only two decimal places of precision. In addition, we want to display these numbers with standard comma delimiters to the left of the decimal point.
Sadly, the Ruby
#sprintf method provides the former functionality, but not the latter. What to do? Use a Rails helper, of course.
The NumberHelper from ActionView provides some useful functionality, so we used that. As it turns out, we found the best way to get the formatting we want to be using the
#number_to_currency function with no denomination.
Also, rather than mixing the entire helper into the Float class for just one method, we chose to mix the helper into a nested class and expose only the functionality that interests us. The result looks something like this:
class Float
class RailsNumberHelpers
extend ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper
def formatted
s = Float::RailsNumberHelpers.number_to_currency(self, :unit => '', :precision => 2).chomp('0')
Something similar using humanize(like string):

Comments about Bellafina Maturo Viola Case:
It is a great case for the price.
For its price, it is wonderful, very sturdy and roomy. Has a pocket for a shoulder rest, but I don't use one.
Very sturdy, nice quality.
Super great!
Comments about Bellafina Maturo Viola Case:
This look like the Bellafina Maturo Violin Case. The viola neck strap ties like a shoelace-different. The velcro strap under the neck is to hold a shoulder rest-terrific. Now I don't have to put my shoulder rest in the music compartment & ripping it with the shoulder rest. The outside music compartment is roomy & full length. Convenient subway strap in addition to the shoulder strap. 2 fabric handles instead of a plastic one. The inside has fitted moldings, making a very tight fit. No wiggle room for slightly different shaped instruments. Two of my pegs are touching the side of the molding. I put a foam sponge on the side of my viola to try to change the angle of the pegs touching the sides. The blanket is 2 sided blue velour like the velour lining. About 6 lbs, fairly light. Very good price for the room & features.

It's a label Liza Minnelli cherishes, and one she's never fully understood.
"Gay icon." Ask her to explain it, and she'll come up empty.
On Google, Minnelli's name alongside that two-word phrase cues up 117,000 results. When she performed back east this spring, the Huffington Post's headline even credited her with economic clout: "Liza Minnelli's Borgata Hotel Performance Helps Renew Gay Travelers' Interest In Atlantic City."
A 2009 survey from http://www.onepoll.com named her the fifth-biggest female gay icon in history (her late mother, Judy Garland, beat her for first place). But though Minnelli appreciates the term, she has no idea when it first got pinned on her, or why.
"Any time you're called an icon of anything, it's great," the 66-year-old told the Daily Pilot in a phone interview. "And I think it's a huge part of my career. But if you go in there, you see not only gays [in the audience], you see families and all kinds of different people."
Minnelli would rather be seen as an entertainer for the masses than one for a niche audience. Still, the outspoken Proposition 8 opponent is happy to be connected to a cause in which she believes. So when MenAlive, the Orange County gay men's chorus, contacted her this year about joining them onstage, she agreed without even having met the group.
Thursday and Friday, Minnelli will join MenAlive in "A Winter Spectacular" at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The show, featuring the singer's own band along with the men's chorus, marks her first Orange County appearance in almost two decades. (She did, of course, more recently co-star on "Arrested Development," a sitcom set in a fictional version of Newport Beach.)
So what motivates Minnelli to accept invitations from groups unknown to her? She laid out simple criteria.
"When it has something to do with freedom," she said. "When it's an event that can help people, and when it's a celebration."
A kindred spirit
Robb Neale, a singer, scriptwriter and choreographer for MenAlive, has had time to prepare to meet one of his heroes.
For the last three months, the chorus has rehearsed on its own with an accompanist singing Minnelli's vocal parts; she's scheduled to join them Wednesday.
It's not the first time Neale has waited a long time to encounter Minnelli. In the early 1990s, he attended a benefit show in New York in which she sang a song. Afterward, he waited for two hours by the stage door in hopes of catching her on the way out.
Minnelli hadn't stuck around, though, and the next time Neale saw her was a few years ago at a Hollywood Bowl performance. When MenAlive artistic director Rich Cook announced this year that the group would perform with Minnelli, Neale "couldn't contain" himself, he said.
Neale began to get into musicals in junior high, and a friend introduced him to "The Rink," starring Minnelli and Chita Rivera. Neale grew to love the star's craft, but he sensed a kindred spirit as well.
"Aside from her amazing talent, there is such a need to be loved," he said. "She wants to please the audience so much. It's not like … desperation or anything like that. But she wants to give so much that it makes me want to give it back."
Cook said MenAlive confirmed Minnelli for the show in the spring but held off on an announcement until August to keep from competing with her summer Hollywood Bowl appearance. For Cook, arranging a show with the "Cabaret" star was a longtime dream.
Minnelli and the chorus will perform both together and separately, weaving in Christmas songs, show tunes and more. Creating the set list has been a collaborative process, with MenAlive leaders joining Minnelli and her longtime arranger, Billy Stritch, to work out numbers.
"We're calling this 'Spectacular,' and it will be," Cook said. "All around."

Gamethread: New York Jets @ New England Patriots 10.21.12
Who: New York Jets @ New England Patriots
When: 4:25 p.m. EDT
Where: Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA
Media: TV – CBS, DirecTV – 712, Radio – ESPN 98.7 FM, Sirius – 86, Sirius XM – XM 226 Internet Audio – NFL Fieldpass.
Their Previous Meeting: The last time these two teams met, for a time it appeared as if we may have actually had ourselves a game but leave it to New England to slowly chip away at the Jets' defense and capitalize later in the game. It started seemingly harmless as New England was limited to two field goals in the first quarter. The Jets caught a break when Tom Brady was caught on an embarassing penalty in the end zone that resulted in 2 points for the Jets. A few minutes later, Mark Sanchez ran two yards to give the Jets their first lead of the day. However, with 1:20 remaining, New England marched down the field against the Jets' defense ending with Rob Gronkowski scoring on a 18 yard pass from Brady giving New England the lead heading into halftime and ultimately cementing their victory. The Jets' offense struggled mightily in the third quarter scoring no points while New England scored on a field goal following a muffed punt by Joe McKnight and towards the end of the quarter, Gronkowski was the recepient of another Brady pass from 5 yards out. The Jets showed some signs of life at the begining of the fourth quarter with Sanchez hitting Plaxico Burress on a 7 yard pass to narrow the score to 16-23 however, the defense couldn't stop New England from thereon and the offense fell off the map completely. Deion Branch made it a two possession game on a 8 yard pass and Rob Ninkovich put the icing on the cake with a 12 yard pick six of Sanchez to give New England a convincing 37-16 win.

With all four AFC East teams with .500 records and two of the most storied rivals coming together head-to-head in what is bound to be another epic clash, there has been no shortage of story lines this past week. For the Jets, per the usual routine as we have come to realize, Tim Tebow was largely on the agenda this week regarding his role with Bilal Powell out and Joe McKnight potentially out for the contest. For the Patriots, their heartbreaking loss to Seattle raised some interesting questions and how they are likely "out for blood" against the Jets. In spite of the hype, what can we truly expect? The truth is, it's really anyone's guess but we can draw some conclusions using statistics.
The first statistic is the number 5 as in New England has the 5th best ranked defense in the league right now. With the additions of promising rookies Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower, the Patriots' running defense has made it nearly impossible for opponents to run the football against them. The next stat is the number 28 as in New England's pass defense is ranked 28th in the league, nearly at rock bottom. Kyle Arrington has been just one of many culprits however, his statistics particularly standout because he has allowed quarterbacks to have a perfect QBR against him. Not good. The injury sustained by Steve Gregory has hurt them at the safety position and the inconsistent play by Devin McCourty isn't doing them any favors. Despite this, the Jets do face a bit of a problem. While it would seem logical to take their chances and throw against New England's defense, the Jets' identity has been to run the ball. And you can bet in order to keep the Patriots' TOP low and to lessen the risk of a turnover, the Jets will try their hardest to open up lanes and force New England to prevent the run especially after the week Shonn Greene had against Indianapolis. Which leads to the issue of which Shonn Greene shows up. The one that pancaked the Colts' defense? Or the Greene that struggled to find lines and gain any significant amount of yards. Add in that back-up Bilal Powell is out and Joe McKnight is out, or at the very least will see a very limited snap count, that leaves you with fullback Lex Hilliard, the unproven yet potentially able Jonathan Grimes and Tim Tebow–although it's one thing when you're taking a direct snap and running but taking a handoff and finding open lanes? Color me skeptical. As much as it may pain some people to hear it, the Jets very well may need to put more of the onus on Sanchez, who has begun to develop some good chemistry with receivers not named Santonio Holmes or Dustin Keller, and allow him to test New England's porous secondary and take advantage if he can. During Rex's tenure, New England has always had, in my opinion, a suspect secondary and at times we've seen that exploited while on other days the Jets have made them look like All-Pros. It will be ultimately up to the coaches to find some sort of balance but if something if working better than another don't shy away from it, use it to your advantage until they can prove they can stall the offense.
The Jets defense is pretty much the exact opposite of New England as they are ranked 6th in opponent passing yards and 28th in rushing. But we're also talking about Tom Brady. Obviously, the Jets are down an island defensively and with Brady having a multitude of different receivers to throw, the task will be tall which is ultimately why we might see more zone coverages with some man-to-man. Ultimately, the onus will be on the defensive line to generate pressure on Brady and make him force throws and to silence New England's running attack–pull a page out of the Seahawks' playbook while you're at it. The safety play will be vitally important in determining the outcome of this game as will the play of Antonio Cromartie who has stepped up his game in the absence of Revis and has become an all-purpose threat on all three sides of the ball. The linebackers will also be an important factor and the speed of guys like Demario Davis and Marcus Dowtin, if he sees snaps, will be important too. This won't be an easy task and I certainly do not envy gameplanning for New England especially in such a pivotal matchup that could have lasting consequences as the season wears on. However, emerging with a victory is not out of the realm of possibility as the Jets have shown they will not go down with the ship without putting up a good fight and this is shaping up to be another memorable contest.
