Merry Christmas all, this yarn is veryy nice for well-seasoned knitters and crocheters. I have made some beautiful shawls and hats and scraves with it. However, some of my beginner or elderly friends have trouble finding the strands or pick up the wrong loops, or drop their stitches. This is NOT FOR BEGINNER needlers or those with tactile or visual deficiencies. Very truly to the point, Joy of NeedleArts

A 47-year-old man died at Guam Memorial Hospital last night, several hours after being struck by a car on Ypao Road in Tamuning. The 911 call came in at 8:37 p.m., according to the Guam Fire Department.
The 25-year-old driver did not stop at the scene and returned to his Tumon Heights home a quarter-mile away because "he was afraid," his grandfather said. "He was shaking."
The grandfather, Hermenegildo Moguel, 83, said family members immediately drove his grandson, Jordan Moguel, to ...

Comments by Jacqueline loves David and Sabrina 2014
it seems oh wow to have Jeremy as a vampire hunter but it's ok to have a person like him to help Elena. what a person needs to become a vampire hunter is to have the right weapons and have some training to fight. But I know that with the help that Jeremy can give, even Alaric and the others, will help keep Elena safe and spread peace to Mystic Falls. =)
with these episodes spoilers bringing action to vampire diaries, things should always stay well. It will always be about Stefan and Elena being together and Damon can just find himself a girlfriend even though I think he's ok but it's all about Team Stefan and the Stelena fans. Delena fans will just have to get over it and stick with just liking Team Damon. Go Team Stefan and the Stelena fans. =)
the episode crying wolf will be loving but also shocking. It's nice for Elena and Stefan to go on a romantic getaway but not untill it has to be interrupted by Tyler and Jewls's lame assistant. What Tyler should just do is stick to being a normal nice wolf or he will be next on my haters in the show. I agree that Jewls and her lame assistant should get lost from Mystic Falls and if they don't they should wish that they never did and die out. I hope that this episode goes fine when I watch it and that life will continue to go easy for Stefan and Elena to stay loved together.=)
this episode was put as my #2 favorite on the show. The way Stefan and Elena danced together was truly and lovingly beautiful. Their friendship means a lot to me and it's like this can't be compared with Twilight. This episode is truly an awesome thumbs up. ;) =)
this is one of my best comments for this episode being my #1 favorite.
from the way vampire diaries started, this episode started my whole world of loving this show. Stefan and Elena get to know each other more and them being together for the comet was truly amazing. When Matt knows how Elena feels, that's when things start changing a bit. It was truly awesome when Elena and Stefan first kissed and their lives of being lovers was born. It also felt weird when Damon was with Caroline and he just bit her out. It made her go paranoid the next episode. ;)
this episode was good to have Elena and Stefan be together again for the 80's dance. It was outstanding the way they danced together not untill the vampire from bloodlines reappears and tries to take down Elena. Luckilly Stefan and Damon were around her all the time to keep her safe. =) It's nice to have two hot vampire brothers to save the life of a human. =)
this episode was loving and shocking at the same time. Stefan and Elena's friendship was taring apart and Damon has being problems dealing with Damon. But then life changed after Elena thought that Stefan was leaving her for good only untill she told him she loves him. 3) Their love collides together and they fall into a love scene. 3)3) It was truly beautifully amazing untill Elena left Stefan for the picture of Katherine she found. When this episode ended I thought she was done foir untill Damon came to the rescue in bloodlines. thank goodness for Damon saving her. =)
these episodes are gonna be a blast to the first season's episodes =) I'm a super major vampire diaries fan and this show rocks my whole world. i'm also a super major Stelena fan and I always thik that Stefann and Elena will always be together forever. Rock on Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley!!(3 You're also cool Ian Somerhalder compared to my sister Isabel being a big fan of you. The rest of the cast has also done a good job so keep up the good work. Vampire Diaries is always a great #1 show as much to Twilight and rock on to Team Edward even though I'm not a Twilight fan. Go Team Stefan and rock on Elena!!!=) (3

So I've just wrapped up the fifth month of trying to plow through my backlog. I'm actually quite proud of myself, though not as much as I will when I've been doing this for a year, or have finished up my backlog, whichever comes first.
A quick recap of what this is all about:
- I have to finish or beat at least one game a month. That basically means whatever counts as an ending to the story mode, usually prompting a credits scroll.
- Side-quests and post-ending stuff doesn't have to be completed. I'll take care of them later (or not at all).
- I can finish more than one game a month, but it doesn't count toward future months.
- My backlog doesn't include every game I've ever not finished. That's crazy talk.
But, back to the games...
- Heavy Rain (PS3). I reported I had started this last month, and I finished a playthrough pretty quickly -- the night before I left for PAX East, actually. I really enjoyed it, and managed to keep all the heroes alive until the end, so I got a nice "happy" ending. I'm still considering going back and trying some of the alternate story paths, maybe letting certain characters die to alter the game's outcome.
Once I'm done with Last Window I intend to plow through the rest of Bravely Default, and we'll see what happens from there.

Secondhand Smoke Impacts Infants With Family Hx of Atopy
THURSDAY, June 6 (HealthDay News) -- For infants with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) with a family history of atopy, secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure is associated with a longer hospital length of stay, according to a study published in the June issue of the Annals of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology.
Meghan Lemke, M.D., from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tenn., and colleagues conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 451 mother-infant dyads enrolled during 2004 to 2008 during an infant LRTI. The authors sought to examine whether infants with a familial atopic predisposition were more susceptible to the adverse effects of SHS.
The researchers found that SHS exposure was noted in 57 percent of the infants; 36 percent had a mother with atopic disease and 68 percent had familial atopy. There was no difference seen in the bronchiolitis severity score and hospital length of stay with SHS exposure stratified according to maternal atopic disease. In those with, but not in those without, familial atopy, there was a significant difference in hospital length of stay by SHS exposure, in bivariate analysis. For infants with familial atopy, the length of stay was significantly increased by 23 percent for infants with SHS exposure, in multivariate analysis.
"We found that in infants with familial atopy, SHS exposure was associated with a longer length of infant hospital stay for LRTI, which was not the case in those without this family history," the authors write. "Future longitudinal investigations will be able to assess the consequences of these findings with subsequent asthma outcomes in the children."

EU project targets biomass-to-chemicals processes
Closing the gap between laboratory and the industrial practice for the production of chemicals from biomass is the target of the European Union's BioConSepT project.
London – Closing the gap between laboratory and the industrial practice for the production of chemicals from biomass is the target of the European Union's BioConSepT project, which starts this month.
The BioConSepT consortium is coordinated by TNO and consists of 31 partners from research and technology organisations, large industrial companies and small and medium-sized enterprises
Funded by the EU's Knowledge Based Bio Economy programme, the Euro13-million project aims to demonstrate the complete feasibility of an integrated chain approach to commercialising new industrial 'white biotechnology' processes.
These processes are to convert second-generation biomass into valuable chemicals. These are expected to be 30% cheaper and 30% more sustainable than the corresponding chemical routes or the biotechnology processes starting from first generation feedstocks like glucose.
BioConSepT is, therefore, focused on the use of feedstocks such as lignocellulose and non-edible oils and fats, which cannot be used for the production of food.
The partners have selected seven chains for chemicals that can be made from these materials. Both bioconversions with enzymes and microorganisms and chemical reactions are used in the production chains.
The introduction of continuous processes, novel reactors and selective separation technologies will generate breakthroughs in costs and sustainability, according to a statement from the BioConSepT consortium.
The project will deliver samples of the envisioned applications, which include green polymers, resins, plasticisers, surfactants and solvents for testing in the market. After two years, the two most promising chains will be selected for demonstration at a scale of 100 to 1000 kg product, said TNO.
"Taking a frontrunner position in the bio-based economy is essential for maintaining the leading economic position of the European process industry, the conservation of jobs, the security of energy supply and the creation of a sustainable society," said TNO.

Sheriff gets rid of striped garb for prisoners
By M.L. Elrick
(DETROIT -- Add another title to the new Macomb County sheriff's resume: chief of the fashion police.
Sheriff Mark Hackel, who says he was never a fan of the county's retro jail uniforms, will strip prisoners of their stripes. Besides the black-and-white striped uniforms' cost _ $18 each _ Hackel said the blousy duds were not very durable and did little for inmates' esteem (not to mention their figures).
"I just thought it was kind of silly seeing people walking around in those uniforms," Hackel said. "These things look terrible. They faded terribly."
Instituted by Hackel's father, William Hackel, in the fall of 1999, the uniforms were meant to easily identify prisoners as well as give them an incentive to work up to jailhouse gigs with less onerous outfits. Trusties, for example, wear orange.
Mark Hackel said less than 500 of the striped uniforms are left. Once they're worn out, all of the jail's approximately 1,350 inmates will wear cheaper solid color uniforms.
Striped uniforms that aren't too ratty may be given to charities to auction off at fund-raisers, Hackel said. Hackel said he has not decided which color will replace the stripes, but fuchsia is definitely out.
"It's not my position to punish people while they're in the jail. I'm here to make sure they're kept here, they're fed here, they're not a risk to society," Hackel said. "I'm not here to further their humiliation with pink uniforms, for crying out loud."
Mount Clemens, Mich., defense attorney Brian Legghio applauded the change.
"It shows that Mark Hackel is progressive in his view of how to treat people in custody," he said. "The problem with the stripes is they're extremely humiliating and extremely disgraceful for the individual.
"The criminal justice system has its own mechanism to punish people who have been found guilty of a crime."
The stripes also unfairly punish people awaiting trials in which they may not be found guilty, Legghio said.
Not to mention they're getting pretty tatty looking.
"They're not in great shape," Legghio said. "They're very dirty looking."

Providing medical care and services to the 9.7 million U.S. residents who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare results in mismanagement and unnecessary spending, according to some federal health officials. Melanie Bella, a CMS official who oversees the two programs, said Medicare and Medicaid were "never designed to work together." Meanwhile, other officials and health care professionals say it is common for the two programs to shift patient costs to one another, raising overall spending.

Attorneys are attempting to reach a settlement in the federal freedom of speech lawsuit filed last week against the York City School Board, a federal judge said Wednesday.
The lawsuit was filed by Cal Weary, performing arts director at New Hope Academy Charter School, and New Hope parent Shannon Garcia after limits were placed on public comment at a York City School Board meeting.
They requested an injunction to prevent the board from limiting speech during public comment sessions.
After meeting with the attorneys privately, U.S. Judge John E. Jones III said in court that the parties would attempt to reach a comprehensive settlement no later than the next regular school board meeting, which is April 16. He said the parties have a number of issues to flesh out.
Paul Cianci, attorney for the school district, said a potential settlement agreement had been sent to the plaintiffs' attorney, Sean Summers. Cianci said later it still needs some tweaking.
Summers said the district seemed eager to resolve the matter, so he thinks it will be resolved.
At the March 19 board meeting, those signed up to speak at public comment were told they had to be 18 and couldn't talk about New Hope, which is fighting in Commonwealth Court to have its charter renewed.
Garcia was stopped and told personal attacks weren't allowed after she began addressing previous comments made by board President Margie Orr. Weary, who hadn't signed up to speak, tried to talk at the end of the session, but Orr adjourned the meeting.

Acer founder: poor sales no reason to give up tablets yet
updated 12:25 am EST, Mon December 26, 2011
Acer creator Shih expects tablets to stay
Acer shouldn't give up on its tablet business just because it's struggling at this stage, the company's founder Stan Shih remarked this weekend. He called the tough conditions "unavoidable" in Digitimes' account of the chat. The former executive likened it to teething troubles Acer had when it first dipped into notebooks, implying that Acer ultimately became a major contender by holding on to its strategy.
The company's plans to trim its PC line would help by eliminating overlap and focusing on those products that stood the best shot at being competitive, Shih added. Acer has said it would shift away from its longstanding attempt to get pure market share through budget PCs and instead focus more on quality.
Shih' talk has come as hints have emerged that Acer might trim its mobile divisions by moving some staff to more logical positions inside the company. Its initial hopes of stemming the iPad's effect with the Iconia Tab line have so far been muted, with NPD data showing it trailing in the US behind other Android supporters and, by extension, well behind Apple.
Acer is known to be planning a renewed tablet push at CES with quad-core tablets like the Iconia Tab A700 likely to show at the Las Vegas event.

When Wild Oats XI surges out of Sydney Harbour after the start of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race at 1.00pm on Boxing Day December 26, there will be a distinct link between the 30-metre long racing supermaxi and a flimsy little, canvas-covered canoe that sailed on the same harbour 72 years earlier.
On the charge: Wild Oats XI surges south in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race
That link is Wild Oats XI's owner, Bob Oatley: he also owned the canoe.
Bob Oatley was 11-years-old when he first ventured onto Sydney Harbour under sail. The canoe had cost a lot of money for a young lad back then – two shillings and sixpence – and once that transaction was complete he set about converting it into a sailboat because sailing appealed a lot more than paddling. The mast was a wooden garden stake, the sail was made from a bed sheet, and the roughly hewn rudder was crafted from a piece of scrap timber.
Bob's mother passed away before he was one-year-old, and his family was not well-to-do, so this canoe satisfied his adventurous spirit under sail until he was 15 and started work as a messenger boy in an office in the heart of Sydney. That allowed him to save enough money to buy a 12ft skiff.
While this modest, self-made man has never been one to seek the limelight, he needs no introduction these days. This is because, in the last decade, his success in the upper echelon of yachting, and in business, has turned the spotlight his way and transported him into public prominence. He is also a generous philanthropist.
In sailing he is best-known for pioneering canting keels in Grand Prix level international ocean racing; leading Australia to victory in the Admiral's Cup in 2003, and owning the Rolex Sydney-Hobart race record holder, Wild Oats XI. In business he is recognised as a pioneer of the coffee industry in New Guinea, and after that he became one of Australia's most successful winemakers. Today there's still no stopping this octogenarian: he's back in the wine business with the already successful Wild Oats, Robert Oatley and Montrose labels. Also, his family company now owns that highly desired holiday destination in the Whitsundays, Hamilton Island.
This year Wild Oats XI will be going for a remarkable sixth line honours in seven starts. If that bid is successful then in 2012 the yacht will be out to equal the highest number of line honours ever achieved in the race's 67-year history. The score of seven fastest times was recorded by Morna (later Kurrewa IV) between 1946 and 1960.
Unfortunately, a medical condition with his legs has ended Bob's ability to sail in long distance ocean races, but he will be following his yacht and the highly experienced team over every one of the 628 nautical miles of the course: 'These days, for me, it's a bit like being at the Melbourne Cup and watching from the grandstand while your horse runs for the prize,' he explained. 'The big difference is that it takes a lot longer to get a result in the Hobart race. Even so, it's so exciting for me I still feel as though I am there.'
Bob Oatley at the helm of Wild Oats XI.
The Wild Oats XI crew, under the leadership of Mark Richards, is full of praise for Bob Oatley and the opportunity he has given them to 'carry his colours' to victory.
Wild Oats XI has never been better prepared for a start of the Rolex Sydney Hobart race. She will carry a new, high-tech metallic-looking mainsail that holds its shape as if it was a rigid wing. This sail is 30 square metres larger at the top than the sail it replaces. Sailmakers have also increased the area of the yacht's largest gennaker by 50 square metres to a total of 900 square metres.
'Prepared as we are, thanks to Bob, we must not lose sight of the fact that this is a Hobart race, and that means nothing is certain until you cross the finish line,' said Mark Richards. 'It's a tough challenge because there are so many elements that can bring you unstuck – weather, sea state, equipment failure, even a collision with a semi-submerged object. Being favourite for line honours means little to us: we just have a job to do, and that will be our focus all the way.'
Wild Oats XI - Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2011
The fact that the yacht is race ready meant that the 20 crewmembers were able to spend Christmas Day relaxing with family and friends. If there is to be any anxious moment it will come in the hours leading up to the start when expert sail trimmer, Robbie 'Battler' Naismith, is due to fly in from Auckland. There will be 19 crew mates hoping his flight is not delayed.
The latest weather forecast for the race from the highly respected yachting meteorologist, Roger Badham, sees the projected elapsed time for the largest yachts increased to two days and eight hours – 15 hours beyond the race record time Wild Oats XI set in 2005. Badham expects a southerly buster to impact the leaders off Jervis Bay. Strong winds from forward of abeam will continue until the big boats are well into Bass Strait.

New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has taken the lead from former Congressman Anthony Weiner among Democratic candidates in the race for city mayor, according to a poll released today.
The NBC 4 New York/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll was conducted after revelations that Weiner continued to engage in lewd online behavior after he resigned from Congress two years ago, according to the Marist Poll website.
Among registered Democrats in New York City, the site said, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, if the primary were held now, the contest would stand as follows:
Christine Quinn - 25 percent
Anthony Weiner - 16 percent
Bill de Blasio - 14 percent
Bill Thompson - 14 percent
John Liu - 7 percent
Erick Salgado - 2 percent
Sal Albanese - 1 percent
Other - 2 percent
Undecided - 19 percent
"For many Democrats the latest revelations about Anthony Weiner are more of the same, only more so," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. "Weiner has lost his lead and his negatives are at an all-time high."
In the contest between Quinn and Weiner there has been a 14 percentage point swing.
When the same question was asked in June, Weiner led Quinn by 5 percentage points, according to a poll released June 26.

The discussion carries on about the safety of electronic cigarettes, commonly called e-cigarettes. The big question for you is: are they a less dangerous alternative to real cigarettes?
Electronic Cigarettes vs. Real Cigarettes
The major distinction between both types is fairly straightforward. A standard cigarette uses up tobacco whereas the e-cigarette uses a battery-powered heat to vaporize odor free propylene glycol and has varying levels of nicotine contained in the e-cartridge. The vapor is then inhaled by the smoker, without including any real smoke.
Created by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik in 2003, electronic cigarettes were introduced to the market a few years later, sparking one controversy after another. The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had threatened to ban their sale and nearly half-a-dozen anti-smoking groups have opposed them. The primary concern currently being its safety and exactly how it's being marketed towards kids and teenagers.
Lobbyists representing tobacco companies have urged the FDA to consider severe action against electronic cigarette manufacturers and ban their sale, fearing a threat to their profits. Nicotine in the liquid form can be dangerous, especially if it is made in exposure to the skin. There are a few uncertainties about the long term use of propylene glycol too.
Since their inception in to the international market, government bodies have advised the e-cig manufacturers to re-evaluate their safety precautions. They worry that not very much research has recently been undertaken to know what chemical substances or toxins are produced within the vapors from electronic cigarettes.
Scientists have expressed their uncertainties about insufficient health warnings within the package and environmentalists are concerned that not adequate precaution are being taken to dispose of e-cigarettes and its accessories, that could pose an eco potential for nicotine contamination.
It's the advertising of electronic cigarettes which has faced lots of heat. Industry experts have risen significant issues that may increase nicotine dependency amongst younger age group and could possibly lure children to try tobacco-related merchandise.
Anti-tobacco aficionados debate that e-cigs may prompt adolescents to give it a try for the first time, because they come in tempting flavours such almond, cherry, chocolate and fruit. The truth that they are shaped and look just like a normal cigarette, promotes the social selling point of smoking. As they can be found online, it is deemed to be misused from the minors.
Electronic cigarette manufacturers have recommended that lots of regular smokers have found ways of reducing or quitting their smoking habit after trying e-cigarettes. And also the varying levels of nicotine acts a weaning device too. It's claimed being clearly healthier when compared to the number of chemicals contained in tobacco smoke.
With the FDA not approving the use of Electronic Cigarettes, mostly because of their heavy political ties with big tobacco, ecigs will remain as they are, a safer alternative to real cigarettes and the on going debate for which is better is really left for the end consumer to determine. At Smokeless Delite we feel that we are helping others to quit smoking, and not simply moving them from Electronic Cigarettes vs. Real Cigarettes. Being a previous smoker myself, I know that these can help you quit if you have the right plan of action and choose the right program for yourself.

Three New Posters for Mandy LaneGoon
Thanks to STYD and PosterGeek we have three new posters for All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. I have been waiting for this film for ages and I wish they would just hurry up and make its short and limited theatrical run. If Dimension would have released when they said they were going to, we would have this on DVD already.
Well the good news is that anyone attending Flashback Weekend in Chicago will be able to check this out at 10:40pm on Saturday, June 28th. On hand will be Co-producer Brian Udovich to present the film. I know a couple of you guys will be there so be sure to represent! Check out the posters below..

Q. My doctor has recommended that I take enteric-coated aspirin to protect my heart without damaging my stomach. I have recently read that coated aspirin doesn't always protect the heart as well as regular aspirin. Would I be safer buying low-dose chewable aspirin?
A. The study you are referring to was published in the journal Circulation (Jan. 22, 2013). Researchers gave 400 volunteers either immediate-release regular-strength aspirin or a similar dose of enteric-coated aspirin.
Some of the people taking coated aspirin had a much-delayed anti-clotting response. This may not matter for daily aspirin users like you. However, doctors may recommend uncoated or chewable aspirin for people who suspect a heart attack in progress.
Q. You are worrying people unnecessarily about aluminum and Alzheimer's disease. This myth was debunked years ago. Why are you still flogging a dead horse?
A. The controversy over aluminum exposure and brain toxicity has not disappeared. Recent research suggests that aluminum is linked to neurotoxicity and even dementia (Immunologic Research online, April 2013).
Aluminum is found in higher concentrations in the brains of Alzheimer's patients (Journal of Alzheimer's Disease online, Vol. 35, No. 1, 2013). There is growing concern that aluminum is involved in the development of this devastating condition (Clinical Biochemistry, January 2013). A preliminary study found that drinking silicon-rich mineral water helps remove aluminum from the body and may improve cognition (Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, Vol. 33, No. 2, 2013).
We have interviewed some of the world's leading experts on aluminum toxicity.

HP Ranina, corporate tax lawyer spoke to CNBC-TV18 about the contours of applicability of GAAR.
Corporate Tax Lawyer
HP Ranina, corporate tax lawyer spoke to CNBC-TV18 about the contours of applicability of GAAR. He says that though P-notes will not be targeted, FIIs are likely to move away to Singapore. India does not have a DTAA with Singapore yet. ±Lot of investments could come into the tax net if FIIs still operate from Mauritius,½ he explains.
Below is the edited transcript of the interview. Also watch the accompanying video.
Q: We hear that the P-notes themselves are not getting targeted, but more importantly there will be several tests applied, one of the four test must be satisfied for the GAAR to apply, your reactions?
A: I am glad that they are clarifying this matter and that P-notes or participatory notes are not going to be targeted. I think it will certainly help to stabilize the market in the short run.
Q: The four tests have been mentioned and one of these four must be satisfied for GAAR to get applicable. Does it give you a sense that it will become applicable to a large number of cases because even one out of the four, if it is satisfied, the tax department can go ahead with anti-avoidance rules?
A: Yes, you are absolutely right. This will certainly create a lot of problems, for example in the case of companies set up in Mauritius, even if they just have a tax residency certificate that will not be accepted, they will have to prove that that company had some commercial substance, they are carrying on some activity, genuine bonafide activity and therefore, once the test is not satisfied, they will invoke the GAAR. Of course, that will happen from 1st April 2012, it will not happen in this week, but from next year, and that also it will happen only after the Finance Bill is passed and approved by the President of India, which would be happening in the third week of May. So from that day onwards, they will immediately start saying that you are not satisfying the condition of commercial substance in respect of your property, in respect of the company which you have, and therefore we will not give you the benefit of tax exemption of the treaty.
Q: The onus was so far on the FII to prove that the entity created was not primarily for tax saving purposes. The language that our team here is using is the I-T Department will also have to prove commercial purpose test, bona fide purpose test and misuse and abuse test. Do you think this is sort of passing on the onus now to the I-T Department to prove that the entity is not only for tax saving purposes?
A: Yes that will, but that doesnφt give any benefit because the income tax officer will simply say ∞I am not convinced that you are having any commercial substance in Mauritius, say you donφt have so many employees, you are not doing any other work, you are just operating from a lawyerφs office and therefore I am convinced that there is no commercial substance and therefore I am invoking GAAR.φ
Q: So your sense is that a lot of investments out of Mauritius will not be able to hide under the DTAA and will become taxable you think?
A: Yes, it would mean that. In fact, it doesnφt help the FIIs at all. It only empowers the Income Tax Department to take their stand, even if they satisfy on one issue, they will invoke GAAR and that is why what I said yesterday, most companies will now shift to Singapore because that is where there is some stringency in the laws, they issue a tax residency certificate only if you show that you are some employee, you are doing some other activity, maybe trading activity or any other activity then they issue the TRC. So a lot of FIIs are now planning to shift there, thatφs my sense.
Q: How much will FII investments be disturbed?
A: A lot of investments could come under a tax net if they still continue to operate from Mauritius because that is where the difficulties will arise. Unless they now change their position, they do some other activity in Mauritius as well and not just operate from a lawyerφs office. So maybe they can also change, then those companies which want to retain the Mauritian tax benefit will now start some other substantial activity because as I said, GAAR will come into effect only from sometime in May once the finance bill is passed. Therefore they have couple of months to set their things in order. It all depends on how they reorganize themselves and to what extent they are still interested in taking advantage of the Indo-Mauritian tax treaty.
Q: There is also news coming in that the government will try and classify the P-note as a separate asset class altogether. Do you think direct investments that the FIIs have through a structure thatφs been created only for tax saving purposes could be hit, so does the focus now shift to direct FIIs and entities created for tax saving purposes and alleviates the P-note pressure?
A: Yes, it will now shift entirely to FII direct investments and P-notes obviously will be out of the tax, that will be for a time being, but we still have to wait and watch, things are pretty fluid at this point of time. We never know when the government may take a different view. So currently of course that clarification is helpful as far as P-notes are concerned.

According to one tweeter/reporter (@790Justin), the unofficial headcount Wednesday at Sun Life Stadium was 347. However, he claims it's not the smallest crowd he's ever seen for a Marlins game.

Fayetteville (N.C.) Jack Britt High School is home to future Appalachian State Mountaineer John Rizor, but it is also where one of the state's fastest rising prospects plays his varsity football. Over the last few months, Everett Proctor has seen major Division I-A schools begin to show heavy interest, but recently, the 6-foot-2, 195 pound quarterback told Mountaineer Illustrated that ASU has also come calling and has his attention. ...More...

MSU center Goran Suton tries to drive around the defense in MSU's exhibition game last month at the Breslin Center. / Lansing State Journal file photo
EAST LANSING - Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said today that he doesn't expect senior center Goran Suton to play in Wednesday's game against No. 1 North Carolina.
Although Suton, who has a sprained knee, said Monday he'd like to see some time against the Tar Heels, Izzo said he isn't comfortable with spot duty in this situation. North Carolina is fast, and Izzo wants to make sure Suton is fully healthy before he returns to the floor.
The Tar Heels (7-0) and No. 13 Spartans (4-1) will tip at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday at Detroit's Ford Field (ESPN).
Izzo was effusive in his praise for North Carolina, which he said is "maybe the best team we've played since I've been here, if you look at them on paper and on film."
"There's gonna be talk, 'Is this one of the best teams ever?'" Izzo said of the Tar Heels. "And if they keep everyone healthy I think that is a very fair argument."
UNC All-American center Tyler Hansbrough is questionable for the game with a foot injury, although MSU expects him to play. Izzo said the key to beating the Tar Heels will be finding a way to slow down junior point guard Ty Lawson.

Football Headline
GatorZone.com Senior Writer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Lerentee McCray certainly looked the part at last weeks SEC Football Media Days.
Dressed in a dark pinstripe suit, crisp purple dress shirt and smooth silky tie, McCray roamed from interview to interview as if he had been there, done that.
The truth is McCrays UF career remains rooted in potential more than production. In 30 games over the past four seasons, the fifth-year senior has managed a modest 40 tackles.
I want to take advantage of this opportunity, he said. This is it for me. I definitely want to have a good season and help this program get back on top.
McCrays low profile compared to some of his teammates didnt stop Gators coach Will Muschamp from bringing him to the leagues annual media bonanza to face the bright lights in Hoover, Ala. If the Gators are going to fulfill their promise in 2012, Muschamp knows McCray will need to fill his.
Hes a guy I think can be a very productive player for us this year, Muschamp said. He works extremely hard and is a great example of the kind of young man we want at Florida. Im expecting a big year out of him.
Ditto for the guy who showed up at Florida four years ago barely weighing 200 pounds. McCray stuffed 253 pounds into that swanky suit last week following an intense offseason spent primarily in the weight room bulking up for what he hopes is a big senior season.
After an injury plagued junior campaign that caused McCray to miss four games, he underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason and missed spring practice. Muschamp said McCray could have probably participated in spring drills but that he took the cautionary route.
Muschamp knows McCrays value on a defense that returns 10 starters from a year ago. However, one of those starters, hybrid linebacker/defensive end Ronald Powell, wont be available to start the season due to a knee injury he suffered in the Orange & Blue Debut in April.
Powells injury instantly added to McCrays role.
He will play Sam [strongside linebacker] in our regular package, then when we get to our sub-packages, hell play the Buck [pass-rush specialist], Muschamp said. Im very comfortable with Lerentee at either position.
McCray played in nine games a year ago, starting five. He finished tied for the team lead with four quarterback hurries and fifth with 7 ½ tackles-for-loss. McCray provided a glimpse of what he can do at the Buck position with Powell hurt for the game at Auburn.
McCray finished with four tackles two that went for a loss and recorded one quarterback hurry. It was the kind of performance fellow linebacker Jon Bostic believes McCray is ready to produce consistently.
He has come a long way, Bostic said. Its a big blow for us [losing Powell]. We lost a great player but we think we have another one ready to step up.
McCray grew up not too far down Interstate-75 from Gainesville in Dunnellon. He was named first-team All-State in Class 3A after averaging 17 tackles per game as a senior. McCray also played offense, rushing for more than 500 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The future was as bright as the sun hanging over The Swamp when he arrived at Florida in 2008. He played in eight games as a true freshman and then saw action in three as a sophomore until an injury ended his season. He was redshirted and returned in a more prominent role in 2010 when he played 10 games.
Perhaps the biggest play of McCrays UF career came in the 2011 Outback Bowl when he scooped up a blocked punt and raced 27 yards for a touchdown in Floridas 37-24 win over Penn State in Urban Meyers final game at Florida.
Finally a regular starter as a junior, injuries prevented McCray from having the kind of season he envisioned.
I had to wait my turn, said the 6-foot-2 McCray. Its my last year and I want to make an impact. Im definitely ready for the season to start and to have an opportunity to be a playmaker.
McCrays combination of speed and size make him an intriguing prospect. He is fast enough to get around the edge and make the quarterbacks life uneasy, and big enough to shed SEC offensive linemen and make stops in the running game.
Hes adopted the team motto start fast and physical as his own, too.
You never know when the last time could be, he said. An injury can come at any time. Getting hurt and not being able to play is never fun.
As McCray made the rounds at SEC Media Days, it was clear he was having fun. He mingled in between interviews, flashed a big grin and cast a portrait of someone who belonged.
All thats left now is for McCray to prove it on the field.
There have been ups and downs, he said. Its time to step up and help this team be as good as we know we can be.

Hayle police support sight-impaired
Posted: August 19, 2013|
POLICE in Hayle have teamed up with a group for visually impaired people to raise awareness of the problems they face after some members were abused in the street.
Members of Penwith Visual Impairment Group in Hayle have blamed the incidents on ignorance of their condition, and are asking the public to show greater understanding.
The club is the only one of its kind in west Cornwall, and people come from all over Penwith to discuss their problems and gain mutual support. It meets twice a month and its two dozen members have varying levels of impairment.
Joan Gilbertson, 94, said it was hard for people to understand how frightening it could be even to venture out of the house for fear of falling or being pestered by passers-by.
"I'm a retired police officer. I don't go to town on my own now; I'm too afraid," she said.
"It's just a question of trying to make people more aware that not everyone's like them.
"We have little or no sight and we'd just like some consideration sometimes."
Similar concerns were raised by 72-year-old Edith Chitson, who suffers from degenerative myopia, which causes distant objects to be out of focus.
"I don't go out at night on my own because I can't see," she said. "I have to hail every bus that comes along until I get the right one."
She said the group was a source of reassurance: "Suddenly the world's normal for me here because I'm not expected to compete with the sighted world."
Police community support officer Jenny Hosking has attended several meetings to make sure the members know what support is available and discuss ways in which they can make the community more aware of their needs.
"A lot of them are unaware of the local police in their area; we're putting them in touch with Neighbourhood Watch," she said.
"We may go into schools and talk to young people to make them more aware."
PCSO Hosking called for the community to be more mindful about such things as extendable dog leads, cyclists and cars parked on the pavement which might not be considered a problem but could be hazardous in the world of a partially sighted person.

Whole Foods, sometimes better known as Whole Paycheck thanks to the bite of its high prices, likes to think of itself as a responsible corporation with a particular interest in healthy eating. Through one of their foundations, the Whole Kids Foundation, they are helping to address better eating in schools in several significant ways—by funding school gardens and school salad bars, and by providing nutritional education to teachers.

Barbara Ann Foley, 70
Posted on April 10, 2013
Barbara Ann Foley of Austin, Texas, a former Ossian resident, passed away at 2:22 p.m. Friday, March 29, 2013, after losing a valiant fight with cancer.
Our mother and wife was a special lady. While her passion was always evident for her husband and sons ("the Three Js"), numerous special education students throughout the Round Rock (Texas) Independent School and multiple members of the district's Westwood Choral program considered her as a second mother. Her compassion and acceptance for all people regardless of ability was crystal clear. She loved unconditionally.
She was born Dec. 21, 1942, in Fort Wayne, to Merrill Melton and Genevieve Snyder Melton. She was a 1960 graduate of Ossian High School and lived on West Mill Street in Ossian prior to attending college at Ball State University.
She married her loving husband Jack Foley in October of 1973 in Fort Wayne. Her husband survives.
Also surviving are her oldest son Justin Foley and his wife Katharine; her youngest son Jonathan Foley and his wife Heather; her grandchildren, Abby, Xander, and Juliana; her brother Richard Melton; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, students, and people who called her "Mama Foley."
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 13, at the Bethany United Methodist Church, 10010 Anderson Mill Road, Austin, Texas, 78750.
Preferred memorials are to Hospice of Austin's Christopher House, 512-342-4747; the American Cancer Society; the Bethany UMC Foundation; or the Down Home Ranch, 888-926-2253.
