(Sep 28, 2012) The Executive Yuan (Cabinet) has approved a proposal put forward by the Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) to increase the minimum hourly wage in Taiwan from NT$103 (about US$3.50) to NT$109 (about US$3.71). The raise is to take effect as of January 1, 2013. (Meg Chang, Taiwan Raises Minimum Hourly Wage, TAIWAN TODAY (Sept. 27, 2012); see also Wendy Zeldin, Taiwan: Proposal to Raise Minimum Wage, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (Aug. 13, 2012).)
However, the Cabinet decided not to adopt the CLA's recommendation to increase the minimum monthly wage, which is currently set at NT$18,780 (about US$640), to NT$19,047 (about US$649). This rate had seen an increase of about 5% at the beginning of 2012. (Chang, supra; Executive Yuan Sets the Tone for the Minimum Wage Proposal with a Wage Increase in the New Year, Monthly Salary Rise to Be Adjusted Depending on GDP and Unemployment Rate [in Chinese], Executive Yuan website (Sept. 26, 2012).)
According to Premier Sean C. Chen,"[n]o change will be made to the monthly rate until the private sector shows further signs of recovery." He indicated that if there is a 3% increase in GDP for two quarters in a row (a condition he expects to be met in early 2013, based on the government's budget estimates) or the unemployment rate drops to under 4% for two consecutive months, the Cabinet would consider an increase in the monthly wage rate. (Chang, supra.)
The Cabinet also instructed the CLA to complete the following tasks:
- improve the methods used for the "Labor Force Salary Survey," so that it really reflects the number of people who receive the basic wage and serves as a reference for policy-making;
- adopt the average daily wage as the basis of calculation for the minimum wage;
- consult the situation in other countries, such as Australia, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom, to assess the feasibility of setting a basic or minimum wage for workers in different age groups, industries, and regions, in contrast with the current basic wage in Taiwan that is applicable to all; and
- conduct a comprehensive review, in regard to the Deliberation Committee set up by the current Basic Wage Deliberation Measures, as to whether or not that Committee should convene annually, its constituent members, the deliberation mechanism, explication and verification procedures, etc., for the benefit of systematization of basic wage deliberations. (Executive Yuan Sets the Tone for the Minimum Wage Proposal with a Wage Increase in the New Year, Monthly Salary Rise to Be Adjusted Depending on GDP and Unemployment Rate, supra.)

the #puddinglove
Introduce your spoon to the rich, delicious taste of Kozy Shack® pudding.
Those are fancy words for, "really really good."
We're not saying it's healthier than 4 ounces of kale. But kale also doesn't taste like wholesome, delicious pudding.
Now flan is as easy to make as flipping over a 4-ounce cup. And it's as easy to eat as spooning it up, bite after tasty bite.

Kozy Shack® Pudding has grown from a neighborhood favorite to the #1 rice and tapioca pudding in North America.
Before we start, there's a good chance your question is one of our Frequently Asked Questions.
Your email has been sent and will be responded to within 24 hours Monday thru Friday during regular business hours. If you need an immediate response, please call Consumer Affairs at 1-855-716-1555 and tell the representative you also sent an email.
Thank you for contacting Kozy Shack.
Is this the first time you have purchased this product?
Required: I am 14 years of age or older.
Required: By submitting my comments, questions, ideas, recipes or other material, I agree that Kozy Shack Enterprises LLC will exclusively own all existing and future rights to the contents of the submission of every kind and nature. Kozy Shack Enterprises LLC will be entitled to unrestricted use of the submission for any purposes whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, including, but not limited to, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcasting or posting without any compensation to or acknowledgment of the provider of the submission.
Fact: Every tub of Kozy Shack® Pudding is stamped with a Use By date. Made-up fact: No pudding has ever lasted that long because it's usually eaten right away. But in case it does, that is the date through which the unopened product will remain fresh. We do not guarantee quality after the Use By date.
All our pudding is stamped with a Use By date, although most pudding enthusiasts enjoy their treat long before that day comes. Until then, store your pudding in the refrigerator. If you're planning to save some for later, we recommend using a clean spoon to scoop out your serving into a separate bowl. The rest should go back in the fridge and be eaten within a few days. If you really want to treat yourself, consider serving pudding with cookies, pound cake, fresh fruit, chocolate sauce or whipped cream.
We do not recommend freezing any of our products. Besides, they're too delicious to save for later.
One reason our pudding is located in the refrigerated section is because it likes to be near the milk and eggs that make it so delicious. Another is because we only use wholesome ingredients and no artificial preservatives. For the best quality, pudding should be opened before the Use By date. Since storage and handling conditions vary, once the package is open, it is best to eat it within a few days. Pudding that looks, smells or tastes off should always be discarded.
With the exception of our Indulgent Recipe™ Puddings (Vanilla Bean, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Truffle and Dark Chocolate), our puddings and flans are gluten free. We are in the process of ensuring that all of our new Indulgent Recipe™ Puddings are, in fact, gluten free. We can assure you that our formulas do not include wheat, rye, barley or any crossbred hybrids of these grains.
The milk and eggs used are pasteurized before we make the pudding. In addition, during the cooking process, the pudding mixture is heated to temperatures that ensure product safety. We recommend checking to be sure the package seal is intact and the product has not expired before eating it.

Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings. Generally, we do not link the information provided by your browser to your Personal Information.
More About IP Addresses. An "IP address" is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. It is used to identify your computer's "location" in cyberspace, so that the information you request can be delivered to you. If you use a dial-up connection or a connection that assigns dynamic IP addresses, your computer will be assigned a new IP address each time you connect to the Internet. If, however, your computer is permanently connected to the Internet using a static IP address, the IP address assigned to your computer will generally be the same each time you use your computer.
If you have registered with this Site, we may link your IP address to account information that identifies you personally. We may also provide your IP address to our third-party service provider who can use it to identify your state and zip code. This gives us valuable demographic information about the individuals who use this Site. In addition, if, we suspect fraud or a threat to the security of this Site, we may share our server logs—which contain users' IP addresses—with the appropriate investigative authorities, who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.

Once upon a time, there was a fantastically dark movie filled with extraordinary creatures, like malevolent muppets and a hairspray-embellished David Bowie. The fantasy flick of which we speak-Labyrinth-might be shelved in the kids' section at your local Blockbuster, but the story is not unsophisticated fare. Rather, this mid-eighties ode to mazes, men wearing makeup, and meaningful life lessons about regret and patience, taught us that every choice has a consequence and that puppets can be incredibly creepy. In addition to this noteworthy education, the outstanding Jim Henson-directed film also gave us something totally unexpected, namely, one of our first fashion crushes.
Though the connection between a fantasy movie and fantastic style isn't obvious, we've always thought that Sarah Williams (Jennifer Connelly's character) is thoroughly inspiring. Sure, her outfits look a little awkward now, but we've always adored their inherently rebellious bohemian spirit-a sensibility shared by our heroine-tremendously.
As truly devoted Labyrinth enthusiasts, we flipped when we discovered a few Sarah Williams-style items on the spring runways. At Isabel Marant, we noticed an oversized, cuffed, and rolled tunic with the same sort of slouchy chic as our heroine's favored tops. We were also struck by the similarities between Diane von Furstenberg's incredible Spring/Summer 09 show and our film du jour. One of our favorite runway looks featured a cascading floral garland headpiece paired with the Hippolyte Crochet Lace Dress ($495)-a romantic combination that evoked some of Labyrinth's most gorgeous moments. Readers take note: the heavenly headpieces are available at the Diane von Furstenberg flagship store in New York (646.486.4800). Choose between Floral Pink and Floral White ($125 each), or go for the metallic Golden Vine ($150).
In addition to these marvelous runway examples, we also noticed that stores are stocking a great deal of Labyrinth-ish items right now. Besides the DVF headpiece, we found a white floral version by ban.do that looks like one of Connelly's key accessories. Even if you're not a fan of the film, the ban.do She Enjoys Shakespeare in the Park Headpiece ($200) is a sweetly innocent addition to any wardrobe.
On an edgier note, we couldn't resist including the angular Double Sided Triangle Necklace ($245) by All For The Mountain. The triple triangle necklace is the perfect piece of geometric eighties jewelry and has already been spotted on major tastemakers, including Erin Wasson.
Moving on: we'd like to direct your attention to one of the most literal interpretations of today's Currently Channeling style-Delia's Katerina Boho Top($36.50). The blousy shirt would look very Labyrinth-esque, especially if paired with an embroidered waistcoat, like Forever 21's Floral Embroidered Vest ($22.80).
Our next pick isn't ripped from the film exactly, but it's fabulous nevertheless. Despite the fact that the Labyrinth costume team didn't hook up Connelly with a particularly cool pair of jeans, we found an amazing option for you. The 7 For All Mankind Bell Bottoms ($245) in VCAL are already a celeb favorite (Katie Holmes, Kate Hudson, and Heidi Klum are fans) and will be available for purchase shortly! Starting in April, you'll find the Bell Bottoms at two 7 For All Mankind shops (Soho in New York and Robertson in Los Angeles), as well as in their online boutique. There's already a waiting list for these jeans, so call the Robertson store (310.385.9540) and reserve a pair today!
As for the rest of our Labyrinth look? We selected a Scrittura Italian Printed Leather Journal ($35) by Barnes & Noble for its fantasy-film feeling and added a pair of Nine West's Victor Platforms ($99) too. Admittedly, Connelly wears loafers in the movie, but we think these studded mules are a better fit!
Finally, we'll close this installment of Currently Channeling with a little fantasy of our own: 3.1 Phillip Lim's Full Length Silk Dress ($1195). It's a stunning piece and a modern update to the crazy poofy gown Connelly wears to a masquerade ball in the movie. Since we'd need a little help from the Goblin King (or David Bowie himself) to justify that purchase, for now, we'll settle for the affordable simplicity of James Perse's Maxi Dress ($155).

Throughout its storied sartorial history, tartan has taken on a multitude of forms. The timeless pattern has roots in ancient Scotland (after all, Braveheart's William Wallace went to battle wearing a kilt), but over time, it also became synonymous with movements from punk to grunge (Kurt Cobain's uniform often consisted of a tartan flannel shirt). With undertones both classic and subversive, tartan's proved that it's one of the most versatile and enduring patterns in fashion. Read on to see how a number of stylesetters are wearing tartan now, and how you can get their look today. Don't forget to check out our on-trend tartan picks too!On The Runway

Panel 2: Social Movements and Development
A more inclusive, people-centered approach to projects and programs often eludes the financial and political flows of developmental institutions. Local, national, and international social movements are presenting new challenges to institutional arrangements at each of these scales. This panel is an attempt to understand what is significant about different types of social movements for the ways in which formal institutions engage with issues of urban development. What opportunities and challenges do these movements pose for ordinary poor people? What is leading institutions to build deeper engagements with social movements, especially those with a grassroots, community base? What potentials and pitfalls exist for these partnerships? How can these movements and partnerships be understood through academic research agendas? And can social movements develop alternative methods of development practice that can meet the extent of the challenges of urban poverty?

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the major cause of bacterial infection in HIV-infected patients. The current pneumococcal vaccine is poorly efficacious in patients with a CD4 cell count lower than 500/mm3. This study will test the efficacy and safety of a new pneumococcal vaccine strategy in patients with a CD4 cell count between 200 and 500/mm3.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) is the major cause of bacterial infection in HIV-infected patients. The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPV) is poorly immunogenic in patients with CD4 below 500 cells/mm3. The purpose of this multicentric national study is to evaluate whether a prime with a 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), able to induce immunological memory, would improve immunogenicity against SP polysaccharides. 212 HIV-1 infected patients, with a CD4 count between 200 and 500/mm3, will be randomly assigned to one of two vaccine groups: PCV at Week 0 followed by PPV at Week 4 or PPV alone at Week 4. Evaluation will be done at week 8. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who had antibody responses against 7 pneumococcal polysaccharides at Week 8. Secondary endpoints include the persistence of antibody responses at Weeks 24 and 96, vaccines safety and occurrence of pneumococcal disease over time.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult patients with proven HIV-1 infection
- Naïve or antiretroviral experienced
- CD4 cell count between 200 and 500/mm3

YIELD: Makes 8 (as part of antipasti) servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/4 hr
- 1/4 cup water
- 48 cultivated mussels (2 pounds), rinsed well
- 1 1/2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs from a crusty Italian loaf
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Accompaniment: lemon wedges
Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
Bring water with mussels to a boil in a wide 5-quart heavy pot, covered, then boil, covered, shaking pot occasionally, until mussels just open wide, 3 to 4 minutes. (Discard any unopened mussels.) Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon, reserving cooking liquid, and cool to room temperature.
Put 48 half mussel shells with mussels attached in a large shallow baking pan (discard other halves) and drizzle with some of reserved cooking liquid.
Stir together remaining ingredients, then top each mussel with about 1 teaspoon of mixture.
Bake until crumbs are golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Cooks' notes:
·Bread-crumb topping, without parsley, can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Stir in parsley before using.
·Mussels can be assembled (but not baked) 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

He was born Sept. 11, 1931, in Tiger to the late Jesse Jefferson and Lassie Craig Hopkins. He was a U.S. Army veteran and a member of American Legion Post 220. Through the years, Rip has been a carpenter; he was also a farmer and grew apples for a living. He loved working in his apple orchard and took pride in his apples. He was also well known at Virginia's Kitchen, where he helped operate and run the family business. Rip loved his family, treasured his friends, and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of his life.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers, Howard "Buck", William Avery "Bill" and Arvil Sutton "Poke" Hopkins.
He is survived by: his loving wife, Virginia Bleckley Hopkins of Tiger; two sons, Glenn Douglas and wife Michelle Hopkins of Clayton and Ricky Anthony Hopkins of Tiger; a brother, Richard "Penny" Hopkins of Clayton; three sisters, Cona Mae Grimshaw of Locust Grove, Dorothy Kilby of the Persimmon community and Mary Ann Sisson of Blue Ridge; six grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and several nephews, nieces and cousins.
Funeral services were held Sunday in the new chapel of Hunter Funeral Home with the Rev. Larry Cannon and Max Watts officiating. Burial with military honors followed in Rocky Grove Cemetery in the Bridge Creek community.
Hunter Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. An online guestbook is available at www.hunterfuneralhomega.com.

An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and an echocardiogram (also known as an echo) are tests that check your heart function and identify any issues that might be present. Some people with cancer who receive chemotherapy may need one of these tests, or a multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan, before cancer treatment to identify pre-existing heart conditions or during and after cancer treatment to identify chemotherapy-related heart damage. Survivors of childhood cancer who have had radiation therapy to the chest, spine, or upper abdomen and people who have had bone marrow/stem cell transplants or certain types of chemotherapy may need an EKG or echocardiogram as part of their follow-up care to identify potential heart-related late effects (side effects that occur months or years after cancer treatment). Learn more about late effects of childhood cancer.
Chemotherapy's effect on the heart
Some types of chemotherapy, such as anthracyclines, may damage heart tissue during cancer treatment. Examples of anthracyclines include daunorubicin (Cerubidine, Rubidomycin), doxorubicin (Adriamycin), and epirubicin (Ellence). Heart damage from chemotherapy can cause an arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) or weaken the heart, resulting in congestive heart failure (CHF; a condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood to the rest of the body). People who have an arrhythmia may experience lightheadedness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. People with CHF may experience shortness of breath, dizziness, and swollen hands or feet.
The medical team
EKGs and echocardiograms are usually performed in a doctor's office or at a hospital. Nurses or medical technicians typically perform EKGs, while ultrasound technologists, called sonographers (health care professionals who are specially trained to operate ultrasound machines), typically perform echocardiograms. The test results are interpreted by a doctor.
About the procedures
EKG. This is a painless, noninvasive test that checks your heart's function by recording the electrical activity of different areas of the heart as wavy lines on a piece of paper.
An EKG may be performed to check for a variety of issues:
- Irregular heartbeat
- Damage to heart muscle and tissue
- Changes in the thickness of the heart walls
- Chemical or electrolyte imbalances in the body
Echocardiogram. This is an ultrasound (also known as a sonogram) of your heart. An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create a picture of internal organs. The sound waves go out from and "echo" back to a wand-like device called a transducer. Like an EKG, the test is painless and noninvasive.
An echocardiogram may be performed before, during, or after cancer treatment to check for:
- Blood clots in the heart's vessels
- Previous heart attacks or other heart conditions
- Tumors
- Infections
- Problems with heart valves
- How well the heart pumps blood
Questions to ask your doctor
Before having an EKG or echocardiogram, consider asking your doctor the following questions:
- Why are you recommending this procedure?
- Do I need to do anything to prepare for this procedure?
- Who will perform the procedure?
- What will the procedure show?
- What will happen if I don't have this procedure?
- When will I find out the results?
- Who will explain the results to me?
- If my results are abnormal, what is the next step?
Preparing for the procedure
Before having an EKG or echocardiogram, tell your doctor or nurse about all of the medications you are taking and ask whether you should take them on the day of the test because some may affect the results.
In addition, check your insurance plan to find out what it covers and whether you will have any out-of-pocket costs associated with the test.
Otherwise, no preparation is necessary before an EKG or a basic echocardiogram. However, in rare cases, your doctor may recommend a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE; an echocardiogram in which the ultrasound device is placed at the end of a thin, flexible tube that is inserted through the mouth and down into the esophagus). In preparation for a TEE, you will be asked to not eat or drink anything for several hours before the test.
During the procedure
When undergoing an EKG or echocardiogram, you will need to remove your clothing from the waist up.
During an EKG, a nurse or medical technician will place stickers (called leads or electrodes) on your chest, and wires will be connected to them. These leads collect the information about your heart's electrical activity. The activity is normal when the heart has 60 to 100 beats per minute and shows a normal rhythm and wave pattern.
You will be asked to stay still during the test, which typically lasts about five to 10 minutes. In addition, you may be asked to hold your breath or lie flat on your back to help get a better reading from the machine.
During an echocardiogram, you will lie on your side on a table. An ultrasound technician will then apply a small amount of gel to your chest and move the wand-like transducer around your chest to create images of your heart.
Like the EKG, you will be asked to stay still during the test, which typically only lasts for a few minutes.
After the procedure
You can expect to return to your normal activities, including driving, immediately after your EKG or echocardiogram.

World Footprint
Do we fit on the planet?
Today humanity uses the equivalent of 1.5 planets to provide the resources we use and absorb our waste. This means it now takes the Earth one year and six months to regenerate what we use in a year.
Moderate UN scenarios suggest that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s, we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us. And of course, we only have one.
Turning resources into waste faster than waste can be turned back into resources puts us in global ecological overshoot, depleting the very resources on which human life and biodiversity depend.
The result is collapsing fisheries, diminishing forest cover, depletion of fresh water systems, and the build up of carbon dioxide emissions, which creates problems like global climate change. These are just a few of the most noticeable effects of overshoot.
Overshoot also contributes to resource conflicts and wars, mass migrations, famine, disease and other human tragedies—and tends to have a disproportionate impact on the poor, who cannot buy their way out of the problem by getting resources from somewhere else.
Ending Overshoot
The Earth provides all that we need to live and thrive. So what will it take for humanity to live within the means of one planet?
Individuals and institutions worldwide must begin to recognize ecological limits. We must begin to make ecological limits central to our decision-making and use human ingenuity to find new ways to live, within the Earth's bounds.
This means investing in technology and infrastructure that will allow us to operate in a resource-constrained world. It means taking individual action, and creating the public demand for businesses and policy makers to participate.
Using tools like the Ecological Footprint to manage our ecological assets is essential for humanity's survival and success. Knowing how much nature we have, how much we use, and who uses what is the first step, and will allow us to track our progress as we work toward our goal of sustainable, one-planet living.*See the Ecological Footprint Atlas for more information.

|Jury selection continues in Anderson trial
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 18 May 2007 05:35
Jury selection continues today in one of Caldwell County's most publicized murder trials. Jerry Anderson is charged with the first-degree murder of his wife, Emily Griffith Anderson.The suspect was indicted in February of 2006 after Emily Anderson's body was found in the toolbox of her pickup truck. The truck was found in Duncan, South Carolina, but her body was found when the truck was brought back to Caldwell for processing. Detectives say Emily was shot December 29, 2005, the same day her husband reported her missing, at a dairy farm owned and operated by the suspect.The trial is anticipated to last several weeks. Jurors' beliefs about the death penalty are of particular interest to lawyers, sources say. If convicted, Anderson may be looking at capital punishment.

Ohio Valley Resources to build $1-billion nitrogen fertilizer plant
December 6, 2012 | Lindsay Frost
Ohio Valley Resources (OVR; Fairfield, IL) is building a $1-billion nitrogen fertilizer plant in Spencer County, IN. The 150-acre plant will produce about 2,420 m.t./day of ammonia and 3,000 m.t./day of urea ammonium nitrate–solution for fertilizer. The project is expected to be complete in 2016 and will employ about 80 workers. The facility will serve local utility markets for selective catalytic reduction units, or NOx control—which reduces emissions in coal-fired power plants and industrial facilities. The plant will also produce 300 m.t./day of...

About The Founders of Pleasant Green Farms near Durham County NC. Twenty-five years ago George and Alice Horton found their version of the perfect Southern country life when they purchased 500 acres of land in northern Durham County near the historic town of Hillsborough. Over the years, the Hortons transformed their property and land near Durham County into a combination beef cattle farm, working horse facility and home-grown nature preserve where their three young children could experience, first-hand, the amazing Ranch Land that Durham County has to offer and the joys of unfettered outdoor play. The children learned to ride horses and care for them, grow a garden and weed it, bait hooks and catch fish in the lake, play hide-and-seek in the woods, climb trees and wander along the endlessly intriguing banks of the South Fork of the Little River, which runs for two miles through the farm land near Durham County NC.
After the children left home to pursue their own lives and careers, George and Alice wanted to reduce the time they spent operating and maintaining Pleasant Green Farms, while still preserving the land and its pristine natural environment and meticulously maintained amenities. The family's years of stewardship of the land had resulted in acres of fences and lush horse and cattle fields, a nine-stall horse barn with fenced riding and jumping ring, productive hayfields, a stocked five-acre lake and miles of trails for horseback riding and nature hikes. "We thought about ways to preserve what was so special about the farm, this unique land near Durham County NC and our time here while still sharing it with other families who might want to have a similar experience to ours," says Alice.

Tempered growth for European tourism in the 2013 pre-Summer period Arna fhoilsiú an : 06/08/2013
According to the latest quarterly report from the European Travel Commission, out of 22 destinations reporting foreign visitors' figures through March-June of 2013, the vast majority posted positive growth.
The report of the European Travel Commission points on a diversification of European tourism destinations and the emergence of smaller destinations : Iceland and Slovakia stage the strongest performance with an increase of foreign arrivals of 30 percent and 20 percent respectively. Montenegro, Latvia and Croatia follow with a growth around 9 percent, Hungary and Poland with a growth of 7 percent.
Overall data paint a positive picture for outbound travel from intra-European markets. After a few years of weak demand, most destinations report growth from the French and UK markets. Outbound travel from Germany remains solid, though last year's bright performance makes current growth rates look modest.

Video: Pirates sue CCCC, Pratt responds
Video: Pirates sue Cumberland County
PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Things are getting nasty between the Cumberland County Board of Trustees and the ownership of the Portland Pirates.
PHOTOS: Press conference
An attorney representing the Pirates says he has filed a lawsuit against the county.
Civic Center trustees stopped negotiating a lease agreement with the Pirates after the team's ownership failed to meet a deadline last Thursday. That came after the trustees offered the Pirates what they said was their final offer.
If there was even the slimmest hope that the two sides could still reach an agreement to have the Pirates play here this season that is now gone. It appears the only way the Pirates will be back in the civic center is if ownership wins this lawsuit.
At issue is whether or not the county and the Pirates had a deal last April when they announced they had reach common ground on terms for an agreement. Several items from that initial agreement were changed for the final offer. One major change was the Pirates take on alcohol sales during the game. The county learned from the state that they could not share that revenue because the county was the liquor license holder. That' is not the only item keeping the two sides apart. The chairman of the trustees says that initial agreement only spelled out items the sides agreed to and was subject to negotiations and final agreement by the full board.
"If we had a deal in April what were we negotiating the last several months? So again, it's desperation. It's unfortunate because I never thought we'd get to this point. Legally speaking I think it's a highly questionable legal claim", said Chairman Neal Pratt.
The Pirates attorney says that agreement is binding and the trustees pulled if off the table.
"In June 2013 the evidence will show the civic center started taking actions, started a course of conduct, which was clear that they wanted to get out of the deal", said Harold Friedman.
The board chairman says this week the trustees gave the Pirates one last chance to sign their final offer. They gave the Pirates until the end of business day today. Instead they say the Pirates responded by serving the trustees court papers.

An MS student must complete 36 points of approved coursework satisfying requirements A, B, C, and D, below.
A. An MS student must complete 36 points of approved coursework with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0.
- 21 credits must be taken as standard CS classroom-based courses.
- An additional 6 credits must be either standard classroom-based CS courses; standard classroom courses in the Math Department; independent study with a full-time faculty supervisor in the Computer Science Department, excluding external internships; or master's thesis. Independent study and master's thesis require DGS approval.
- The remaining 9 credits may be any of the above, or may be: credits transferred from previous graduate study in Computer Science at another university; external internship; or relevant graduate courses in other departments at NYU. At most 6 credits of external internship may be taken. Relevant graduate courses and external internship require DGS approval.
B. An MS student must complete the three foundational courses, which are G22.1170 Fundamental Algorithms; G22.2110 Programming Languages and G22.2250 Operating Systems, and achieve a B- (2.7) or better rolling GPA in the foundational courses attempted.
An MS student will remain in good standing only if he or she achieves a B- (2.7) or better rolling GPA in the foundational courses that have been attempted so far. The rolling GPA is the average GPA of the foundational courses taken so far. If a student does not satisfy this requirement, the student will be placed on probation. The student will have until the end of the following semester to restore himself or herself to good standing or will be terminated from the program.
A full-time MSCS student must successfully complete at least one of the three foundational courses within the first three courses taken and must successfully complete all three foundational courses within the first six courses taken.
A part-time MSCS student must successfully complete a foundational course as the first course taken and must successfully complete all three foundational courses within the first six courses taken.
On rare occasion, an entering MSCS student may be granted an exemption from one or more foundational courses. To obtain such an exemption, a student must meet with the Director of Graduate Studies for the MS programs (DGS) at the beginning of the student's first semester at NYU. The student requesting an exemption must provide clear documentation showing that his or her previous coursework is the equivalent of the corresponding foundational course and, upon approval of the DGS, must pass a placement test at the start of the first semester. The placement test will be as challenging as the final exam in the corresponding course.
C.An MS student must pass one course in two of the following four designated application areas: computation for science and society; graphics; intelligent systems; and databases.
Computation for science and society includes courses on numerical methods and courses on applications of computation to the physical, biological, and social sciences.
Graphics includes courses on computer graphics, visualization, solid modelling, vision, multimedia, and animation.
Intelligent systems includes any course on artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, and natural language processing.
Database courses include databases, distributed computing, and data mining.
Some courses can be counted in either of two areas. For example a student taking Computer Vision can count it either as an AI course or as a Graphics course (but not both).
D. An MS student must complete a designated capstone course with a grade of B (3.0) or better. Alternatively, subject to the requirements below and prior approval of the DGS, the student may complete a master's thesis or advanced lab.
Capstone courses will be identified each semester by the DGS. They require substantial programming effort and draw on key technical areas covered by the MS program. Examples of capstone courses include Advanced Computer Graphics, Advanced Database Systems, and Compiler Construction. A capstone course should be taken during the last year of studies.
A student may instead choose to write a master's thesis if the following conditions are satisfied: the student has a cumulative GPA of 3.75 after six courses; the student has completed all three foundational courses with at least a B+ in each; the student has found a full-time faculty member to serve as a thesis advisor; and the student has received approval from the DGS.
MS thesis work can count for up to six credits of master's coursework. The thesis must satisfy the following criteria: it must be original research or design/implementation; the work required must be equivalent to that of two regular MS courses; the thesis must result in a high-quality document of 30-50 pages or more; and the thesis must be read and approved by two full-time faculty members, one of whom is the advisor. At the discretion of the advisor and the DGS, the thesis may be published on the department web page.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — It's January and you know what that means; NFL play-offs are in full gear, corporate plans are being implemented, and we're seeing prognostications and predictions from anyone with online access and thoughts to share.
We've tossed our hat in the ring through the years — 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 — and last week, we reflected on our 10 themes for 2012. As you might expect, some were spot on, some missed the mark entirely, and others proved prescient, albeit early. Read Minyanville's "Reflecting on Our Ten Themes for 2012"
While I'm not a fan of punditry — I'm a firm believer in provoking thought and providing insight to empower individuals to make better and more informed financial decisions — I will again enter the fray with some forward-looking observations.
In no particular order:
1. The austerity shoe
While the world exhaled on the avoidance of the fiscal cliff — it was more of a speed bump — a conditioned complacency (to bad news) has emerged. While the bulls will correctly argue that reaction to news is more important than the news itself, the "other side" of the so-called Grand Solution has yet to emerge. There are two solutions to our debt and deficit crevasses — higher taxes and austerity measures, neither of which are pro-growth; the second shoe has yet to fall.
"Welcome to the Grand illusion, come on in and see what's happening; pay the price, get your tickets for the show."
2. The other side of the safety trade
The reach for yield becomes the bond bug's windshield; when the world's most crowded trade begins to unwind, it will be akin to an elephant trying to squeeze through a mouse hole. While conventional wisdom dictates that money will rotate into equities, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that deflation doesn't exist. Remember, deflation in a fractional reserve banking system means that policymakers have lost control of the economy. It's an admission of defeat, albeit one that may prove to be unavoidable. Read Minyanville's "The Return of the Phantom of Deflation."
3. Full tilt
Following The Grand Experiment, the notion of a "system reset" continues to lurk in the dark corners of my crowded keppe. The fly in this potential theme is that corporate credit — saved when risk was transferred to the public — suggests another three to four years of stock market buoyancy before that comeuppance arrives, all else being equal. The multi-trillion-dollar question, of course, is whether that's possible in a world of growing social, status, and income inequality. Read Minyanville's "Anatomy of a Recession."
4. The grand illusion
Four investment mistakes From 2012
As 2013 gets underway, Jack Hough joins Markets Hub with investment lessons from 2012.
The question remains, as touched on above, whether exposure rotates into equities or dissipates entirely as appetites abate and an already-scared public — burned by bubbles and busts that burned investors at the top and screwed savers at the bottom — remains uninvolved and apathetic. If we see an equity melt-up — I don't foresee it but it is within the forward probability spectrum — this theme will win by a landslide as the chasm between perception and reality (and the difference between a stock market rally and an economic recovery) widens to Grand Canyon proportions.
5. Engine room, more steam!

Like Skype, Line provides free calls and messages all over the world, regardless of mobile network provider. Line is already being used in over 230 countries by 40 million people (18 million of these are in Japan).
This new version makes use of the unique Windows (R) Phone user-interface system, Metro UI, which increases user friendliness and promotes stress-free communication by arranging text for increased clarit. It further introduces sideways menu scrolling for ease of access, a distinctive characteristic of Windows (R) Phone. Although the release of this version will feature the all-important messaging function, it will not include the free-calling function. NHN Japan plans to add this function in the near future.
The Windows (R) Phone version is seen as a welcome addition to the current versions of LINE which are available on iPhone, Android, feature-phones and PCs as well as a browser version for smart-tablets. NHN Japan hopes to increase the strength of its mobile messenger service by making it available across all platforms and devices.
Line is downloadable, but currently the app has the free calling capability disabled. The company is working on fixing the call problem, but the service can be used for texting.
