LINCOLN — As Bill Lee and Bob Montgomery swapped stories and shared laughs Wednesday afternoon at Kirkbrae Country Club, the former Red Sox pitcher-catcher battery took time to address some of baseball's hidden truths that today's coaches and players like to put a different spin on.
Lee and Montgomery clarified to an audience of 400 or so that once the regular season starts, the idea of working or fine-tuning something gets pushed to the backburner. An erstwhile sort who's not afraid to pull any punches, Lee explained further, saying he cringes whenever he hears a pitching coach talk about "we're working on this and that." In his eyes, the time to iron everything out is spring training.
Once bell sounds on the regular season, "you're not working on anything anymore," said Montgomery following the conclusion of the "Welcome Home, PawSox" luncheon. "You're working on one thing: to get somebody out."
What that in mind, Montgomery was asked for his views on current Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Montgomery admits he hasn't seen Saltalamacchia enough to offer a concise scouting report, but he does know that what Theo Epstein wants, the general manager usually finds a way to get.
"He's one of those players that the Red Sox seem to get an affection for and come one way or another they wind up getting them. They did it with Julio Lugo and J.D. Drew and they've done it with Saltalamacchia," Montgomery said.
Montgomery says there's plenty of blame to go around regarding Boston's early season pitching woes. Heaping everything on Saltalamacchia isn't entirely fair, he feels.
"I'm disappointed with whomever was calling the game, whether it was (Saltalamacchia) or the pitching coach (Curt Young)," said Montgomery, referring to the number Rangers hitters did on Red Sox pitchers during last weekend's season-opening series. "When you have a guy on the mound like Daniel Bard who throws 98-99 miles per hour, and you're trying to get hitters out with changeups, there's something wrong there. He has enough experience, but maybe he doesn't want to change a pitch on his own. I have no idea what their guidelines are (in relation to who calls the pitches)."
The fact Saltalamacchia got off to a dreadful start offensively – against the Rangers he went hitless in 10 trips with five strikeouts – doesn't concern Montgomery.
"I don't care if my catcher hits .195," said Montgomery. "Every catcher's preference should be to handle the pitching staff and calling a solid game. You have to be a psychologist to be a catcher. You have got to know what you can say to get on a pitcher. There are some pitchers you have to get after, others you have to pat them on the back and give them a little hug in order to get the best result."
Following Josh Beckett's stat Monday night against Cleveland, NESN compiled a graphic that broke down what the right-hander threw during his 106-pitch outing. It turns out that Beckett deployed 57 fastballs, 27 changeups, 16 curveballs and six cut fastballs – a pitch that Montgomery is not particularly fond of.
"I don't like cut fastballs. Beckett had a good curve when he came to Boston. Guys who have good curveballs and learn to throw a cut fastball lose their curveball because it's two different deliveries with the pitch. You lose the sensation of throwing the curve," Montgomery noted. "I wish (Clay) Buchholz didn't throw cut fastballs. I don't like that, but that's me. But for Beckett to have thrown fewer curveballs than changeups, that's a little backwards to me. Then again, I'm not in on what they're trying to do there."
In any event, Montgomery doesn't feel the lack of variety in Beckett's pitch selection is the fault of Saltalamacchia, who was behind the plate.
"If he is you catcher, he has to catch," Montgomery said. "He's not going to get better at learning his staff by taking games off because he's 0-for-10. He's certainly not tired because the season just started."

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy after Meniscus Surgery
Ross Hauser, MD
In this article Ross Hauser, MD explores research which suggests that following a meniscal surgery, PRP injections can be of great benefit.
If Platelet Rich Plasma Prolotherapy (PRP) can enhance the healing of meniscus following meniscal surgery, why have the surgery? Here is recent research on the use of PRP Therapy and treatment for meniscus tears.
Doctors say that the white-white tears (meniscus lesion completely in the avascular zone) are without blood supply and should not be able to heal…but something needs to be done – doctors without question confirm that the meniscus are important in load bearing, load redistribution, shock absorption, joint lubrication and the stabilization of the knee joint.
- It has been proven that partial or all-meniscectomy results in an accelerated degeneration of cartilage and an increased rate of early osteoarthritis.
In doctors talking to doctors, surgeons warn each other that they face the difficult decision of removing or, if possible, retaining the meniscus; if it is possible to retain the meniscus, surgeons must address the difficulties of meniscal healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be the answer for many and that platelet-rich plasma for white-white meniscal tears will be a simple and high utility in knee surgery.1
Meniscal Surgery: Poor Option for Damaged Cartilage
There is no question that cartilage heals slowly and poorly. This difficulty in healing is why the surgical option for meniscal injury is seemingly the only answer to those unfamiliar with the repairing techniques of Prolotherapy, stem cell injection therapy, and Platelet Rich Plasma therapy.
Recommendations for surgeries involving shaving or removing the torn portion of the tear using arthroscopic surgery, or sewing the tear together is flawed because it does not repair the deteriorated cartilage. By failing to heal the damaged meniscal cartilage, surgery does not alleviate the chronic pain that people with this condition experience. In fact, with this approach the demise of the cartilage is inevitable because the meniscus provides nutrition to the articular cartilage. If the cartilage is damaged, pressure on the bone will be too great and arthritis will develop. Although the individual may feel better for a while after surgery, the fact is that the injured tissue remains injured. If the torn meniscus is completely removed, too much pressure is put on the articular cartilage and shock absorption is dramatically affected.
In the above study, researchers sought to improve the surgical outcomes in meniscal surgery by applying a PRP solution to the torn meniscus that is "white". In other words there is no blood flow to bring the cells necessary for repair to enhance surgical outcome. The question of course is why have the surgery if there is confidence the PRP treatment will repair the meniscus non-surgically?
Platelet Rich Plasma Prolotherapy for Meniscal Tears
We have been asking that question for years as we have found Prolotherapy to be an effective surgery alternative for meniscal injury. Our published research in the Journal of Prolotherapy stated:
Prolotherapy treatments showed a statistically significant decline in the patients' knee pain and stiffness. Prolotherapy showed large improvements in other clinically relevant areas such as range of motion, crepitation, exercise, and walking ability. Patients stated that the response to Prolotherapy met their expectations in 27 out of the 28 knees (96%)
Only one out of the 28 patients ended up getting surgery after Prolotherapy. "2

Anderson man found dead at Southerner
Man found dead at Southerner Motor Lodge
A 41-year-old man was found dead at the Southerner Motor Lodge on Williamston Road Sunday.
The body of Jeffrey Brian Sisk, a resident of the motel for six years, was discovered by Anderson Police officers at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday. Coroner Don McCown estimated that Sisk, who was in poor health at the time of his death, had died within 24 hours of the discovery.
Anderson Police made the discovery after receiving a call from a concerned friend who had not heard from Sisk in several days, said police spokesman Lt. Tony Tilley.
An autopsy is planned for Monday. McCown suspects it will show that Sisk died of natural causes.
"He had a multitude of health problems," McCown said.
Sisk was a longtime resident of the Anderson area, McCown said.

OSAGE COUNTY - Two Osage County residents were charged with multiple drug related felonies on Friday.
Linda Mertens, 55, and Kevin Fowler, 50 were arrested after Osage County Sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant at a home in Meta. The arrest was the result of a long term investigation involving the Lake Area Narcotics Enforcement Group, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Osage County Sheriff's Office.
Mertens and Fowler were both charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of ephedrines with the intent to manufacture.
Both are currently being held in the Osage County Jail on $30,000 bond each.

Integrated Treatment of Tracing and Tracking Error
Tracing and tracking errors in phonograph reproduction are shown to have a common basis of analysis, the skew transformation, and the distortion arising from these errors are to be due solely to phase perturbation. The phase-perturbation model is used to show the principles by which compensating schemes must be governed, and one such scheme is discussed. Formulae are given for the distortion arising from the joint application of tracing and tracking error, and the recording-velocity restrictions so implied are plotted. In an appendix, a means for obtaining exact closed-form Fourier analyses is explained and results quoted.

PhD doctoral
For people with a recognised Master's degree, VU University offers the possibility of earning a doctorate, or the Anglo-Saxon PhD degree. Every year, over 300 PhD students complete their research at VU University, thereby making an important contribution to academic research.
The process of earning a doctorate normally takes four years or more and consists of conducting independent research and writing a dissertation. Another important aspect of the programme is to attend and give lessons. If you would like to be taken on as a PhD student by VU University Amsterdam, check the academic vacancies to see what places are available.
The Netherlands is one of the few countries in Europe and in the world, where PhD students, in principle, have employee status: they are employees of the university. In many other countries, they are registered as students, or have to finance their PhD with a scholarship. The interests of PhD students and post-docs employed by VU University Amsterdam are represented by the organisation called ProVU.
We have accommodation available for our PhD's. Depending on the availability, we can offer accommodation for a maximum period of one year (Short Stay Housing). Furthermore, we have a limited number of studios available for our PhD's for the complete period of their PhD project (PhD Housing).
As the PhD research enters its final phase, the question, 'what am I going to do next?' inevitably becomes more and more pressing. VU University offers its PhD students the career orientation for PhD students.
For questions about doing a PhD at VU University, you can contact the Registrar's office.

Let's all just hold our horses, OK Mom? - This past weekend before the Bears/Seahawks game my folks called, where my Mom proceeded to make sure I knew her & Dad would be coming to Green Bay and staying with us for the Super Bowl & then I was supposed to scout out the perfect spot for the victory parade in Green Bay on Monday. My response was 'Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.' After the performance of the Packers on Saturday night I can see how my Mom and a lot of other people could be placing their own Super Bowl 'reservations', the Packers looked like world beaters. There is however this pesky little thing called the Bears in the way of making it to the promised land and I am more than just a bit apprehensive about what may happen come Sunday. So while I'm just excited as the next person about the possibilities, I don't think I'll be jumping on any XLV train just yet…I will however be following it very closely so I can jump on the minute I need to.

The stream is wide enough for Jonathan Edwards to hop, step and jump over. It must be 10 feet wide or more, with a bank with a bunker in it and then there's the green, which is wide but narrow.
They all talk about the swirling winds and how difficult it is to select the right club here. We've seen some dreadful golfing disasters here over the years - I think the highest score here has been an 11 or a 13 or something. Curtis Strange, when he looked certain to win, once dumped a few in the water, while others have had enormous bits of luck.
I remember Freddie Couples pitching short and he should have gone back in the water, but for some reason it stuck and he chipped up and got his par before going on to win the title. It's a fascinating hole and I think that, because of the history it has, people get a little bit afraid, when perhaps they'd be better off if they just whacked it towards the middle of the green and didn't try to be too clever.

Bernhard Hoesli: Collages (February 17 - March 7, 2014)
Posted: February 12, 2014, 1:20 pm
Bernhard Hoesli: Collages
Max W. Sullivan Gallery, Architecture 206
School of Architecture, UT Arlington
February 17 - March 7, 2014
Reception: 6:00 pm, Monday, February 24, 2014
This exhibition was made possible by funds donated by Bill Booziotis, FAIA
Booziotis and Company, Architects, Dallas, Texas
Bernhard Hoesli was a Swiss architect whose ideas about architecture had a great impact on the architectural history of the last fifty years. He was born in 1923 in Zurich and died in 1984. He began studying architecture in 1943 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). After graduating, he spent a year working with Le Corbusier in Marseilles and Paris, and then moved to the United States. In 1953, he began teaching architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. Shortly after, Colin Rowe, Robert Slutzky, John Hedjuk, Lee Hirsche, Lee Hodgden, Werner Seligmann, and John Shaw arrived on the scene. This group of faculty members came to be known as the "Texas Rangers". Their collaborations, carried on even after their departure from Texas, resulted in some of the most important developments in architectural history and education such as transparency and collage city. In 1968 Hoesli edited a German translation of the "transparency essays", which Rowe and Slutzky had published several years earlier, called Transparenz. In this edition, he includes an addendum and many illustrations that helped to clarify the concept of phenomenal transparency.
After leaving Texas in 1959, Hoesli returned to Switzerland to practice and teach at the ETH. Here Hoesli developed a pedagogy for architecture based on the presumption that Modern architecture was a style and that one could establish a coherent course of study based on the use of precedents. For Hoesli, Modern architecture did not need to refuse a relationship with history in order to be effective and strong. It is for this reason that his involvement with the medium of collage is so significant. His attitude towards collage was pervasive in all of his work.
First of all we must be clear that by collage one understands, of course, a picture, a type of painting, an object. However, one can also say that this object is the result of a process, a particular kind of approach to shapes, colors and, typically for collage, scrap paper. So a collage is not only meant as an object, something made, a result, but what is perhaps far more interesting: a process. Moreover, that behind this way of doing something which as a result then leads to a collage, the collage could be meant as an attitude of mind… (Bernhard Hoesli - Lecture, May 2, 1983, Bern)
By definition collage is a technique for assembling a picture from diverse fragments of paper, fabric or other discarded materials – the detritus of contemporary culture. The fragments are put together such that new relationships, complimentary and sometimes contradictory, must be constructed. He recognized that, like a collage, culture and the contemporary city is composed of fragments that do not always have complementary relationships to one another.
The collages in this exhibition represent the work of the last twenty years of Hoesli's life. They were begun in 1963, fifty-one years after Pablo Picasso completed his collage Still Life with Chair Caning. Picasso, Georges Braque and Juan Gris are credited with turning collage into a medium of "high art". However, it was not simply an object of high art that Hoesli had in mind when he made a collage. Hoesli made collages in order to use them as experimental fields, practice fields, notation devices, and diaries. He made them while traveling, teaching, working, and while at home. Most of the collages are small enough to permit keeping them in a satchel or on a desk, permitting them to be pulled out and worked on at any moment. Hoesli would work on a collage for a long period of time, revisiting it day after day or year after year. It was their temporal nature and the constant friction between the controlled and the haptic that allowed these collages to be emblematic of Hoesli's larger attitude towards life. Over time, Hoesli's changing preoccupations and the physical effects of aging materials are both evident in each collage. Hoesli kept a record of the history of each collage by making notations on the back. Most of these notations have been transcribed for the exhibition.
The collages in this exhibit are a part of a living history that has a critical bearing on our understanding of architecture and architectural education. This exhibit allows today's architects, artists, students, and educators to go back to the "primary texts" with all their potency and insight.
All the collages in the exhibition are on loan from Hoesli's daughter, Regina Hoesli.

Proper Cooling of Soups & Chowders
There are two methods for properly cooling chowder. For both methods, a thermometer must be used!
METHOD I - Shallow Pan
Put hot soup into shallow pans. Make sure the soup is not more than 2 inches thick or deep. Put the pans in the refrigerator on the top shelf where nothing can drip into them. Let air move around the pans - do not stack or cover the pan. Cover the pans after the soup is 41F or colder.
METHOD II - Time and Temperature Monitored
Soup must cool from 140F to 70F in 2 hours then soup must finish cooling to 41F within a total of 6 hours.
- 1. Close the drain in the sink and put the pot of hot soup in the sink.
- 2. Fill the sink with ice up to the level of the soup in the pot. Add cold water to the ice.
- 3. Stir the soup often. Make sure it cools down to 70F within 2 hours.
- 4. Add more ice as the ice melts.
- 5. Finish cooling the soup to 41F within 6 hours.
- 6. Once the soup is 41F, cover it and put in the refrigerator.
Cold soup must be reheated to at least 165 degrees within two hours!
Only reheat soup or chowder once!
Please follow all local regulations for food safety.
How to Keep Chowder From Breaking
The Science Behind Chowder
What do we mean by "Chowder Breaking"? This is where the chowder gets thin or looks like it has separated. There are two thickeners in our chowder. A roux and a starch. They both work in a similar manner binding molecules. Roux binds water and fat molecules. Starch binds all molecules whether they be water and fat or water and water. Breakage occurs when the molecules in the chowder either do not bind during the cooking process or when they separate while holding.
There are 5 main causes for chowder to break. They are as follows:
- Improper cooking technique
- Chowder held at too low a temperature
- Improper cooling and/or subsequent reheating
- Dirty equipment
- Too much water
1. Improper cooking technique
- Add 1-quart of water to a cooking pot.
- Add contents of 1 pouch of chowder concentrate and mix thoroughly.
- Heat to a slow boil and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 165 degrees for serving.
Heat and Serve:
- Heat chowder to a minimum of 185° F.
- Hold and serve at 165° F.
- READY TO HEAT, DO NOT ADD WATER. May be heated via steamer, boil in bag.
You may have been cooking Ivar's chowder for years and know exactly how to cook the chowder. It may be that you have been cooking the chowder improperly all these years.
You must whip the chowder mix with water. Do not add the dry powder to a kettle that already has the concentrate in it, for it will clump. In the restaurants where the kettles are much larger it may be easier to whip the chowder mix in buckets. Make sure to use the proper amount of water and creamer. 6 cups of water and one bag of creamer for each bag of concentrate.
Bring it to a slow boil for 20 minutes to ensure the chowder is cooked thoroughly. It must reach a minimum of 205 degrees for the thickeners to bind the chowder completely (this is a molecular reaction). The chowder may begin to thicken before it reaches 205 degrees, but that is simply because there are hot spots in the mixture, for example the sides of a steam kettle or the bottom of a pot. If the chowder does not reach 205 degrees it will not bind completely.
During the initial manufacture of the concentrate at our plant, the concentrate is brought up to a minimum of 212 degrees.
A double-boiler or a soup well will not bring the concentrate to a boil. The water in the well or double-boiler may be boiling, but the soup will warm very slowly. All equipment varies, but in our independent tests of various equipment the maximum temperature reached in a double boiler is approximately 190 degrees. It will not sufficiently heat the chowder and must not be used for the initial cook. They are designed for holding soups and sauces at a serving temperature only.
You cannot bypass this boiling stage by heating to just 165 degrees. Even if you heat to 165 degrees for a long period of time it will not thicken sufficiently and the bonds will be easily broken. As stated above this is a molecular reaction and it does not occur until it reaches 205 degrees. What will happen if not brought up to at least 205 degrees is that the concentrate will not bind the newly added 6 cups of water to the concentrate causing the chowder to break.
2. Chowder held at too low a temperature
All of you have a Health Card/Food Handler's Permit. What is the proper holding temperature for chowder? 140 degrees or higher.
If the chowder is held at below 140 degrees the growth of bacteria accelerates.
What does bacteria have to do with my chowder breaking? If you have cooked the chowder properly according to the instructions above this is most likely the main culprit.
Bacteria are found everywhere. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. The main reason for temperature control during the hold stage is to prevent the growth of these bacteria. When bacteria grow they release gasses and chemicals that break the bonds the thickeners have made between the molecules causing the chowder to break. They also deactivate the starch.
3. Improper cooling and subsequent reheating
The guidelines set forth by the Health Department for cooling are as follows:
- The mixture must be cooled from 140 to 70 degrees in 2 hours.
- Food must be finished cooling to 41 degrees within a total of 6 hours.
The guidelines set forth by the Health Department for heating are as follows:
- Food that has been properly cooled must be reheated to 165 degrees in less than 2 hours.
If the chowder was cooked properly and held at a temperature at or above 140 degrees, then improper cooling and reheating will cause the chowder to break due to the formation of bacteria.
Have you ever added water to a hot chowder to get the proper consistency only to find that 10 minutes later it has broken?
If the chowder is too thick and you need to add water to get the right consistency it must reach 205 degrees before you add boiling water to the chowder. Remember that the thickener/binder will only bind water and fat molecules at 205 degrees or above. If new water is introduced to the chowder below 205 degrees it will start a chain reaction breaking the molecular bonds.
Each time the chowder goes through the cooling and reheating cycle diminishes quality and increases the risk of foodborne pathogens and bacterial growth. You should not reheat product more than once. Any left over product should be discarded.
4. Dirty equipment
Dirty equipment? What does that have to do with breaking chowder?
In section 2 we outlined the correlation between bacteria and breaking chowder. If your equipment is dirty or there is a small piece of food matter left from a previous cook there are guaranteed to be bacteria in that food matter.
Although most all foodborne bacteria are very easily killed at 165 degrees there are certain bacteria that if exposed to the danger zone (41-140 degrees) for more than the recommended time may form spores. Once the spore is formed it is nearly impossible to kill. Certain bacterial spores like Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Bacillus cereus can only be killed at a temperature of 250 degrees. This will most definitely ruin the quality of the chowder.
5. Too much water
This one is a no-brainer. More than 6 cups of water per bag of concentrate is too much for the amount of roux and starch in the concentrate.
The chowder mix is not a thickener. It has no thickening properties beyond absorbing a small amount of water molecules. To test this, take a bag of Ivar's chowder mix and mix it with 6 cups of water and cook. It will not thicken unless all the water is cooked out.

Cross-layer throughput optimization in cognitive radio networks with SINR constraints
|Ma, M.
Tsang, D.H.K.
|Issue Date
|International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, v. 2010, 2010
|Recently, there have been some research works in the design of cross-layer protocols for cognitive radio (CR) networks, where the Protocol Model is used to model the radio interference. In this paper we consider a multihop multi-channel CR network. We use a more realistic Signal-to-Interference-plus- Noise Ratio (SINR) model for radio interference and study the following cross-layer throughput optimization problem: (1) Given a set of secondary users with random but fixed location, and a set of traffic flows, what is the max-min achievable throughput? (2) To achieve the optimum, how to choose the set of active links, how to assign the channels to each active link, and how to route the flows? To the end, we present a formal mathematical formulation with the objective of maximizing the minimum end-to-end flow throughput. Since the formulation is in the forms of mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP), which is generally a hard problem, we develop a heuristic method by solving a relaxation of the original problem, followed by rounding and simple local optimization. Simulation results show that the heuristic approach performs very well, that is, the solutions obtained by the heuristic are very close to the global optimum obtained via LINGO. © 2010 M. Ma and D.

NRAM plc
|Public ownership[1][2]
Renamed as Northern Rock (Asset Management) in 2010
|Bingley, England, UK
Area served
|Her Majesty's Government (UKFI / UK Asset Resolution)
NRAM plc (previously Northern Rock (Asset Management) plc) is a British asset holding and management company which was split away from the Northern Rock bank in 2010. It is currently under public ownership, due to the bank's nationalisation in 2008. The company continues to service a residential mortgage book of approximately £50 billion.
Virgin Money now own the "good bank" side of Northern Rock plc, however the government have said that they will not be selling Northern Rock (Asset Management).[3]
Northern Rock (Asset Management) plc was renamed from Northern Rock plc on 31 December 2009, and the following day the banking assets were split off into a new company called Northern Rock plc. Therefore the current legal entity which exists as Northern Rock (Asset Management) company is in fact the company of the Northern Rock Building Society (founded 1965) which turned into a bank in 1997.
On 14 September 2007, during the financial crisis of 2007–2010, the Bank sought and received a liquidity support facility from the Bank of England,[4] following problems in the credit markets caused by the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis. At 00:01 on 22 February 2008 the bank was taken into state ownership (see the Nationalisation of Northern Rock). The nationalisation was a result of two unsuccessful bids to take over the bank, neither being able to fully commit to repayment of taxpayers' money.[5][6] To better control the assets of the bank it was decided to split the company in two, forming the new bank and leaving this company as the so-called 'bad-bank'.
On 24 March 2010 UKFI announced its intention to integrate Northern Rock (Asset Management) plc and Bradford & Bingley plc under a single holding company.[7] In October 2010, Bradford & Bingley plc and Northern Rock (Asset Management) plc were brought together under a single holding company, U.K. Asset Resolution Ltd.[8]
On 3 August 2010 the company announced pre-tax profits £349.7m for the first six months of the year.[9] On 1 October 2010 the bank announced that another £700 million had been paid off of the loan in the last three months.[10] During 2011 £2 billion of the loan was repaid.[11] On 23 July it was announced that Virgin Money would be acquiring £465 million worth of mortgage assets from Northern Rock (Asset Management) plc.[12]
In December 2012 an administrative error was uncovered in the wording of the loan agreements made by the bank in 2008 for around 152,000 customers; the error may cost an estimated £270 million. As a result of the error the affected customers, who were borrowing £25,000 or less, may be entitled to a repayment of interest.[13][14]
In July 2013, private equity firm JC Flowers agreed to buy $450 million of the bank's loans from the British Government.[15]
On 16 May 2014 the company changed its name to the shorter NRAM plc.
In 2015 UK Financial Investments announced that it will seek expressions of interest for the divestment of mortgage servicing capabilities of the business as well as the Granite securitisation vehicle. UKFI have appointed Moelis & Company as advisers for the divestments.[16] In September it was reported that Banco Sabadell was considering a £13.2 billion bid for the mortgage portfolio.[17]
Northern Rock (Asset Management) holds and services the majority of existing mortgage and unsecured loan accounts. The company does not offer any new products and has no branches.
The Northern Rock (Asset Management) was based on the same large site at the Regent Centre in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne as the Northern Rock bank until 2013, when the staff moved to UKAR's other sites in Doxford and Bingley.[18] The registered office was also initially Northern Rock House but is now in Bingley.
Corporate image[edit]
Northern Rock (Asset Management)'s logo is the letter NRAM underlined and in grey. Initially Northern Rock (Asset Management) used the same corporate identity as the bank; this was introduced in 2000 and consists of a magenta square containing the company name.[19]
HM Treasury announced on 22 February 2008 that it had acquired all the shares in Northern Rock and that all entitlements to shares issued by the company had been extinguished by a Transfer Order made under the Banking (Special Provisions) Act 2008. The Transfer Order came into force, and the transfers under it were made at 00:01 on 22 February 2008. Therefore shares cannot be bought or sold.
Permanent Subordinated Bonds (PSBs) were issued by Northern Rock and although the fixed dividend payments are currently suspended the PSBs are still traded (symbol NRKP). Their coupon is 12 5/8% and as at January 2012 they trade at just under half their issue price of 100p. Although interest is not currently paid it may be at some future point should NRAM cease to be government owned and in that case all back payments of interest may become payable.[citation needed]
Board of directors[edit]
Since the company split into two parts, each separate entity has had its own board of directors. With the merger of this company with the mortgage assets of Bradford & Bingley under a single holding company, Richard Pym, Chairman of both companies is to be appointed Chairman new holding company, and Richard Banks, currently Managing Director of Bradford & Bingley has been appointed Chief Executive designate.[20]
Northern Rock (Asset Management) board as of 1 January 2011:
- Chairman: Richard Pym
- Chief Executive: Richard Banks
- Executive Directors: Andy Tate
- Non-Executive Directors: Kent Atkinson, Sue Langley, Keith Morgan, Philip Remnant

Whatever happened to? Mover who wasn't paid after dispute between Collier commissioners, clerk
Editor's note: The Daily News takes an occasional look back at people and issues that have been in the local news, though not lately. Have an idea? Post it below this story at naplesnews.com or call (239) 435-3457 and leave a brief message.
Frank Dethiefesn went to the Collier County commissioners for help last January.
He did work for the county and needed to be paid. A majority of commissioners agreed with him.
But with 2012 in the rearview mirror, Dethiefesn said he is still waiting for a check.
"They have not paid it," he said. "So now our attorneys have to go after it. I cannot just let it lie. Everyone has agreed we should be paid. The county has said so, the commissioners have said so."
Dethiefesn is hoping to be paid more than $6,500 in additional costs he was owed following the move of the Collier County Property Appraiser's Office in 2010. The payment was in dispute because Collier County Clerk Dwight Brock said his office might not be able to pay the additional money because of an error in the contracts.
Dethiefesn is stuck in the middle.
He said he was doing what he was contracted to do when his company relocated the Property Appraiser's Office to its new location on Radio Road.
His company, Suncoast Moving and Storage, was originally awarded the contract to move the office in March 2010. When the move was rescheduled to later that summer, the county's Facilities Management Department awarded Suncoast a new contract because the original was set to expire.
After the original quote was submitted, Property Appraiser's Office staff requested additional services and packing supplies. During the move, additional parts and services were also needed. All together, the additional parts, services and supplies cost the county more than $9,000.
Commissioners approved a $9,107 final payment in October 2010.
But while the county's finance department was processing the payment, staff questioned the use of the new contract because the rates from the original contract — which were negotiated in 2006 — were more advantageous.
Staff recalculated the project rates using the older contract and issued final payment of $2,550.56 against an invoice of $9,107.06, leaving $6,556.50 in dispute.
The county urged the clerk to pay it. But Crystal Kinzel, director of financing and accounting for the Clerk's Office, said some of the items ordered and some of the work was done while the old contract was still in effect. The policy has been to hold the contract as valid until the work is completed, regardless of the expiration date.
Dethiefesn has said the work done before the new contract began was the delivery of boxes, which was a separate order and not part of the original 2006 contract.
The clerk's attorney, Tony Pires, told commissioners in January that he believes it was unlawful for the clerk to pay the remaining balance and his advice would be not to pay.
Dethiefesn said it's possible that he will receive his payment this year. Until then, he will be spending money to hire attorneys to get what he says he has coming to him.

As Iselle fizzles into a post-tropical storm, all eyes now turn to Hurricane Julio.
Click here to watch Moanike'ala Nabarro's report.
The Central Pacific Hurricane Center says Julio is about 500 miles east of Hilo, as of 5 a.m. Saturday.
The storm is moving west-northwest near 16 mph. This general motion is expected to continue through Sunday.
Click here for the latest track of Julio.
Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph with higher gusts, which makes it a Category 2 hurricane. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next couple of days, but Julio is forecast to remain a hurricane through Sunday night.
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 35 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 165 miles.
Large swells generated by Hurricane Julio are expected to produce building surf along most north and east facing shores of the main Hawaiian islands starting Saturday night and continuing into early next week.

i was just at drill this weekend with some cadets from my ROTC battalion and was informed that they had stopped issuing GRFD due to lack of funds i am currently in MSII status and was wondering if anyone knows if this is true i am set to contract in the fall (2011) i was going to contract this spring semester (2011) but chose to wait and get GRFD my GPA was .06 to low to qualify. its a sunday so all the staff is out of office but its bugging me and would just like to know if this is at all true or if this is just temporary and will be reinstated beginning in the 2011-2012 academic year. also is the DEDNG scholarship directly tied to GRFD as in will the funds being depleted in GRFD mean DEDNG is gone as well. this is the first i have heard of the DEDNG scholarship and don't know anything about it. i just saw it on the national guard website.

How to Deal With Psychic Vampires
Psychic vampires (psi-vampires) are said to be people who drain "life force" or will from a susceptible person.[1] There are different definitions for a psychic vampire, and for what constitutes your "life force". In this article, it is assumed that a psychic vampire refers to the persons in your life who seem to be all take and no give, who drain your energies through relentless demands and taking advantage of you, leaving you feeling vulnerable, exhausted, and run down. It should also be recognized that not all of those who could be viewed as psychic vampires are necessarily bad. It may be that you have a lot to learn about not letting people take advantage of you so easily or your friends who drain you haven't learned to respect people's boundaries. In this article, you'll get a good start at learning to deal with psychic vampires.
1Identify when someone is behaving in a way that undermines your energy or exploits you while fulfilling their own needs. There are intentional and non-intentional psychic vampires, namely people who purposefully seek to drain energy from another person to serve their own ends and those who don't mean harm but connect too strongly with others and drain them without realizing.
- Conscious or intentional psychic vampires are manipulative people who seek to take all they can from others without ever giving in return. When pressed, they rarely give away information in any detail and refuse to build up much of a picture of their own lives but live under an aura of mystery and aloofness.[2] They may claim to be able to do fantastical things, like being able to live forever, able to move things with thoughts, or put out fires through thought, etc.,[3] but when pressed, they won't provide much evidence.[4] They are often arrogant, angry, and controlling; they'll also try to befriend leaders or powerful people in order to use these people as part of their manipulative influence. They'll often insist that they're right, period, and won't listen to your perspective but will argue theirs eternally.
- Unknowing or non-intentional psychic vampires are people who manage to drain your energy through constant questioning and seeking ideas from you without really contributing anything novel of their own. They're often disorganized people who might be really lovely to know but who never manage to sort out their own life and expect your help to achieve this all the time. As soon as a pattern is set, they're lulled into expecting you'll always be on hand to help them.
- Both types of psi-vampires tend to see the world negatively and bring forth complaints as conversation starters. This is so that they can start to drain you of your energy and draw from your positive reactions and solutions.[5]
2Know yourself. People most prone to being drained of energy by others are people whose own boundaries are weak or ill-defined, and who tend to be people pleasers, unwilling to say "no" and afraid of ever being seen to let down anyone else.
- Get yourself checked out by a doctor before blaming people around you for "draining your energy". You might have ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, poor nutrition, or any other underlying medical condition that needs treatment. Granted, it may be worsened by hanging around energy-draining psi-vampires but you have the upper hand in fixing it if you know you've got it.
- Talk to a counselor or therapist if you have problems with your emotions, feelings, and interactions with other people.
- Improve your fitness and immune system. If your physical strength and immune system are under par, you'll naturally feel more vulnerable to a lot of life's vicissitudes, and this can leave you open to people who prey on weaknesses. Eat healthily, exercise regularly, and maintain your overall health.
3Find powerful ways to resist. The most powerful word is "no". Instead of allowing yourself to remain a doormat or a people pleaser, learn to say "no" when you're not able to fulfill a request or demand, or you're simply not interested in doing what the other person wants of you.
- If your assertiveness skills are lacking, a psi-vampire personality will seek you out. Improve them by reading up on how to be more assertive and seeing a counselor to guide you if needed.
- Avoid people who drain your energy. Work out which people leave you feeling washed out and used up and do your best to avoid them. If you can't do that and you're cornered by them, avoid answering their questions or probing. In refusing to provide much by the way of information, they'll soon pass on to someone else.[6]
- Be polite to psychic vampires who are in positions of authority, such as a boss or community leader. Be evasive about giving them information you're not willing to provide and only do what's required of you in your role. If at work, try to work away from a person like this as much as possible. Never tell them what to do but stand up for your own methods by telling them you respect their approach but find yours works too.
- Be particularly vigilant with people who know the effect they're having. Dr van Neumig considers this person the most dangerous type of psychic vampire because he or she is manipulative, devious, cunning, and power-hungry.[7] Such a person won't hesitate to use you for their own ends and to discard you when you work out what's going on. However, rather than fearing such a situation, you owe it to yourself to not be gullible or blindsided by such a person; always stay alert to any signs of a person trying to control you by wearing you down and listening to your gut feeling about not wanting to follow through on anything such a person suggests.
- Find help from someone skilled in dealing with psychic vampires. There are healing arts practitioners who claim to be skilled at helping others to deal with psi-vampires effectively.
4Don't believe that this person has a right to control your life. Power granted to another to control your life will usually be abused. By taking responsibility for your own life and removing the hold that the other person has over you, you will destroy the link that binds you to the psychic vampire.
- Believe that this person has no ability to harm or control you. Keep thinking this all of the time and it will rebound on the psychic vampire.[8]
5Find other ways to shield yourself from the psychic connection with this person.
- Wear colors of protection. Purple is the color associated with psychic protection. Wear a purple piece of clothing, or jewelry to ward off the psychic vibes.
- Build a psychic wall of protection around yourself, or a bubble of light. Seek to have their negativity and draining bounce off this wall whenever you're interacting with them.[9] Read books or articles on how to develop or build psychic protection – there are many possible ways.
- Give this person a humorous warning that you're up to their tricks – a rope of garlic, a small wooden stake, etc.[10] Add a card with a quirky message like "Quit draining me". While you're being funny, the other person will probably be offended by this, so expect to be burning a bridge between the two of you, as psychic vampires rarely have a sense of humor.
6Be responsible for yourself. Ultimately, it's unsatisfactory to move through life seeking to blame others for how you're feeling and to postpone your own responsibility to self-improve. While there are manipulative and difficult psi-vampire types out there, you're not helping by insisting it's all their fault. If you're putting life on hold and letting someone else direct it for you or push you where you'd rather not go, move past spotting the demons around you and start checking out the ones within. Demolish them and the psi-vampires won't alight on your doorstep anymore.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Some people suffer from schadenfreude, in other words their lives are not fulfilled so they can only gain pleasure from other people's pain. These are psi-vamps you shouldn't tease with hints or gifts like a string of garlic or a message with a stake, just avoid them at all costs, if anything mention they need therapy, you don't need your life ruined by those kinds of people.
- Some psi-vampires are very similar to persons with narcissistic personality disorders, particularly those who seek to manipulate and divide and conquer in order to get what they want out of life. Reading up on that disorder will help you to spot and deflect that type of psi-vampire.
- Quiet the mind. Realize that emotions are neither good, nor bad, but you must control them. Emotions increase, or decrease blood flow, reducing stress, which healthily increases or healthily suppresses psi or life force in the body. Positive emotions, and negative emotions must be embraced. If emotions are not embraced then the negativity is released through others means. If you only hold on to what is good, but let go of what is perceived as bad, this is not wrong, but where that energy goes is of your control.
- Be aware not to expect others to 'keep up' a mental pace which others cannot readily match.
- Avoid adopting a victim mentality, and keep this all in perspective. Finding a scapegoat for your bad reactions can become a learned habit of its own that you're better off unlearning. Many draining personalities have their own weaknesses and inabilities to draw boundaries, which is probably why they're attracted to another person with ill-defined boundaries and vulnerabilities. Perhaps you're peas in a pod needling one another's weaknesses because you both know them only too well.
- Psychic vampires are also known as emotional vampires, psi-vampires, or PVs.[11]
- Be mindful of the possibility that you might just be a psi-vampire yourself even if you're feeling somewhat a victim. If you're the type of person who drains others (have you checked?), it's still possible to be drained by other drainers in what becomes a sort of vicious cycle whereby each of you feeds off one another for an energy refill, draining one another. Be the first to break the cycle!
- Don't fob off a psi-vampire onto someone else you know just to get the psi-vampire off your back. With care, warn other people targeted by the psi-vampire and support them to keep out of this person's clutches.
- There is no proof that anything supernatural exists, but we can't deny what we feel inside.
- Try to avoid psi-vampires online. You'll know them by the fact that you feel sickened constantly when interacting with them and all they ever feed you are complaints and negativity.[12]
Things You'll Need
- Books, DVD's or courses on self-esteem building or assertiveness
- Daily routine of self-care, including adequate sleep, healthy diet, meditation, visualization exercises, positive affirmations, relaxation, leisure activities and lots of laughter

Med-seeking man jailed after making threats at Layton hospital
A Layton man was being held without bail in the Davis County Jail on Thursday after he allegedly threatened hospital employees, vowed to get into a shootout with police and then crashed his car into a planter box outside the emergency room.
Layton police Lt. Shawn Horton said the 39-year-old man walked into the Davis Hospital and Medical Center ER about 7 p.m. Tuesday to demand medication. He became agitated when hospital staff tried to ask questions in order to admit him; he made his threats and then walked out, police said.
Hospital security officers arrived in time to witness the suspect crash his car into the planter and then attempt to drive away. That was when a Davis County sheriff's deputy, parked inside his cruiser outside the hospital, gave chase.
The suspect stopped moments later near Antelope Drive. He exited his car as other deputies arrived and took him into custody without further incident. No firearm was found.
He was booked into jail in suspicion of third-degree felony counts of making threat of terrorism and evading law officers, as well was misdemeanor counts of hit and run, reckless driving and disorderly conduct.

OK, it's not quilting but sometimes you just need a quick and easy handmade gift, right? If you have some fabric and pillow forms or stuffing, you can make a pair of pillows in about an hour. How's that for a quick hostess gift or spiffy home décor spruce-up for holiday guests?!
The finished pillows!
My daughter recently moved across the country and set up house. She put many household items on her gift wish list, including a pair of pillows she found online. When I clicked to view them (I was thinking of a quick purchased gift, at that point), I discovered they were made with outdoor fabric, which is not what she wanted. She said they were just a suggestion (not a specific want) and that I was free to pick anything that might look good on her new red couch.
Hmm, I thought. I have just the fabric is my stash! Some time ago, I bought 2 yds. of Marimekko fabric at a close-out. These bold flowers would be just the thing for her red couch. Plus, I had pillow forms on hand.
Here's how I made 2 pillows in 1 hour.
Materials2 18" pillow forms or polyester stuffing1 1/2 yds. fabric (I fussy cut the flowers so I needed a little extra fabric. You will use less fabric if you're not fussy cutting.)
This is what I started with. I love this bold Marimekko fabric!
1. Cut 4 18" squares of fabric. Note: I like pillows to be well stuffed. If you like a looser fit, cut your fabric squares 19"-20".
2. Place one fabric square on top of a second square, right sides together. Sew around 3 sides using a 1/4" seam allowance. Clip the sewn corners.
3. Turn the pillow cover right side out. Gently push out the sewn corners. Fold in the raw edges of the opening by 1/4" and press lightly.
4. Push the pillow form into the cover. Close the opening by whip stitching by hand or carefully machine stitching close to the folded edge.
5. Repeat with the other pair of squares.
You now have 2 pillows to share or keep! Happy holidays!
You seem to have the wrong information attached to this link, it is supposed to be about bracelets?
This is ridiculous! Try to read a part of a word and that is a vertical line and only a small piece of the picture. How can you expect a person to be able to see ;how to make something. Why put something on line if you do not want to show a instructions.
I had no problem getting to this link. The wording is accurate and it is about pillows and the directions are all there as are nice photos. Did you click on the right link for the bracelets? Be careful where your pointer or hand is pointed before you click.
I too am having trouble seeing the instructions for the bracelet. The link is not correct, but not going to get bent out of shape over it. I'm sure it will be corrected soon.
There are 2 links one for pillows which brings you here and one for bracelets which also brings you to the pillows.
Bracelets, please
here's the link to the original article. www.clothpaperscissors.com/.../quick-and-cute-fabric-art-bracelets.aspx
Thank you, donnonne, for providing the correct link for the bracelets to everyone! We apologize for the inconvenience.
pegwillyd1, I'm sorry but I can't see the error you are referring to. You might try using another browser to view the instructions.
Thanks, everyone, for your patience, and Happy New Year.
What a generous mum, giving away Marimekko fabric, lol!
Pillow forms can be outrageously expensive. So, make them. Use a 50% or more off the regular price coupon at one of the fabric chains and buy the big box of fiber fill. Watch for sales at thrift stores or garage sales and buy lined curtains. Remove the lining and use to make the outside of the pillow forms. Used clothing provide inexpensive zippers. Stuff with the fiber fill. Pillow forms ridiculously cheap AND recycled. BTW, use the curtain fabric to make grocery bags.
Such a cute and nice idea for a gift. One thing I do when making pillows is, when sewing the fabric together I slope the stitching starting at the corner, 1/4 inch from edge of seam alowance and taper it to the center of the seam, and then taper it back to the corner for 1/2 inch seam allowance on all four corners. I do have to leave a bit smaller opening to slip the form in OR I make an complete opening on the back, this too take some extra fabric, and then I finish it with buttons or a zipper depending on what I have on hand and time for doing. It's a personal choice, but I rather like my pillows WITHOUT the dog ears. (:>)
Thanks! Have fun sewing, the BEST relaxer I've ever found.

7. Mary Jenkins (Sterling Samuel , Edward ) was born in 1774 in Washington, Wilkes, Ga. She died on 20 May 1806 in Wilkes, Ga.
Mary married John H. Barclay in 1793 in Washington, Wilkes, Ga. John was born in 1768. He died in 1798/1862 in Wilkes, Ga. He was buried in 1806 in See Notes.
Barclay grave on sandtown Road between Sandtown & Fishing Creek. Highway is now over the grave
Book MM 1807-1810 Inv Sales, etc, p36. Barclay, John H. Dec'd. Sale Dec 19 1806, Sterling Jenkins Adm.
John and Mary had the following children:
+ 22 F i Maria Barclay
8. Francis E. Jenkins (Sterling Samuel , Edward ) was born in 1777 in Wilkes, Ga. He died in 1831 in Monroe, Ga.
[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 4, Ed. 1, Tree #1905, Date of Import: Apr 12, 2000]
First and most obvious, note that Francis's wife is not listed on the 1830 Monroe county census. This means she must have passed away prior to 1825 but after 1820, since the youngest child was at least 5 years old but not over 10. Second, note that Francis himself is listed and his age is between 50 and 60. This means that he was born sometime between 1770 and 1780. The records reveal the following: Males age 5-10 1, Males age 10-15 2, Males age 50-60 1,
Females age 5-10 1, Females age 15-20 1.
Also his occupation was listed as "farmer". Note that only males are indicated.
Edmund was not living in the household. Also note only two females. Malvina was married and not living at home. This was the 1830 Monroe Co. census.
Francis passed away in the spring of 1831 leaving four minor children.
Francis married Unknown Douglas in 1794/1822. Unknown was born in 1764/1789. She died in 1827/1880.
They had the following children:
23 F i Malvina Jenkins was born in 1800. She died in 1801/1894. Malvina married Green B. Hill. Green was born in 1783/1803. He died in 1817/1889. 24 M ii Edmund Jenkins II was born in 1805. He died in 1806/1895.
[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 4, Ed. 1, Tree #1905, Date of Import: Apr 12, 2000]
A marriage record for Edmund was not found in Jasper County, possibly because he was already married. At least we know that he was not living at his father's home as was indicated by the 1830 census. However , there was an Edmund Jenkins found in Jasper County census in 1820. The ages of household members appear to coincide with those of the Francis Jenkins family in Monroe County census in1830. More research will be necessary before making an assumption regarding any relationship between the two. If Francis was a resident of Wilkes County in 1823 as the Monroe County deed records indicate,
then that would suggest no relationship between the two.
note*...First and most obvious, Francis wife is not listed in the 1830 census. This could mean that she passed away prior to 1825 but after 1820, since the youngest child was at least 5 years old but not over 10. Second, note that Francis himself is listed and his age is between 50 and 60, which means that he was born sometime between 1770 and 1780. Third, that only five males are indicated, one age 5-10, two age 10-15 one age 15-20 and Francis as head of household age 50-60. Edmund was not listed living in the household. Fourth, note only two females were listed, one age 5-10 and one age 15-20. Malvina was married to Green B. Hill and was not living at home.

Could it be that Elizabeth passed away and that Sarry was her sister?
Last but not least, the coincidence that William Jenkins married Elizabeth Barclay, daughter of gaurdian William Barclay in Dec/1839. Wm. Barclay(res. of Jasper County, as supported by 1830 census records) witnessed Francis Jenkins' will and was also named administrator of Francis' estate. The will was recorded in Monroe County. In March 1832, Wm. Barclay petitioned the Monroe court for the removal of proceedings to Jasper County. There were numerous entries in the Jasper Co. records to indicate that Wm. Barclau not only executed his responsibilities of adminstrator, he also was appointed guardian of Francis' four minor children and su[[orted them in addition to his own three children, one of whom was Elizabeth Barclay. 1830 census records indicate that he and his wife had two male children and one female child.
From the foregoing, an obvious conclusion is that Francis Jenkins and Wm. Barclay must have foged a close friendship in preceding years. It may be that they lived in close proximity prior to Francis residing in Monroe County. A search in Wilkes County records will be required to verify the whereabouts of Wiliam Barclay.
One item of interest is found in land lottery records which indicate that the orphans of Francis Jenkins from Jasper County drew a winner in the land lottery of 1827, which was also known as the "Gold Lottery" because of the location of the land being sectioned off.* Gold was discovered in the north Georgia mountains which caused a land rush. This will also require more research to discover the disposition of the land. April 1994
