For China Telecom, getting the iPhone changes the rules
After years of slow negotiations, China Telecom is reportedly on the edge of bringing Apple's iPhone to its 106 million wireless subscribers. Time to rethink the Chinese mobile group. Reuters, quoting unnamed sources, is reporting China Telecom ( CHA , quote ), is expected to start selling the iPhone by the end of the year. The company is the smallest of the big three cell carriers in China, with maybe 12% of the overall market. Those subscribers tend to be wealthier and more technologically sophisticated than the people who have signed up with either rural specialist China Mobile ( CHL , quote ), or middle-market China Unicom ( CHU , quote ). Despite its smaller size, China Telecom has sewn up a quarter of the country's still-booming market for 3G data subscribers. And having Apple's ( AAPL , quote ) iPhone as an additional temptation may help the company boost its appeal to China's smartphone fans. China Unicom has had the iPhone for two years, but it was only last quarter that the device started to sell in quantities significant enough to push the needle on its bottom line. Apple says iPhone sales in China are up 250% year over year, largely due to soaring demand for a stripped-down $49 version. That might be why China Telecom is finally coming to the table to sell iPhones as well. And there are even rumors that China Mobile -- formerly shut out of the Apple universe because its network uses the TD-SCMDMA version of 3G -- could have a prototype no-frills iPhone of its own coming soon. If so, the playing field between the three companies might be leveling out when it comes to smartphone adoption. Naturally, the real winner here is AAPL: Meanwhile, the success of the $49 iPhone takes away an incentive for China Unicom to support homegrown smartphones from local manufacturer ZTE ( ZTE , quote ). That stock has been flat at best as its product simply failed to compete:

A welcome return to a writer whose last book, the much loved and admired Girl With a Pearl Earring has been such an outstanding success. 1901, the year of the Queen's death. The two graves stood next to each other, both beautifully decorated. One had a large urn -- some might say ridiculously large -- and the other, almost leaning over the first, an angel -- some might say overly sentimental. The two families visiting the cemetery to view their respective neighbouring graves were divided even more by social class than by taste. They would certainly never have become acquainted had not their two girls, meeting behind the tombstones, become best friends. And furthermore -- and even more unsuitably -- become involved in the life of the gravedigger's muddied son. As the girls grow up, as the century wears on, as the new era and the new King change social customs, the lives and fortunes of the Colemans and the Waterhouses become more and more closely intertwined -- neighbours in life as well as death.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Set among the sweeping skirts and social upheavals of Edwardian London, Tracy Chevalier's Falling Angels is a meditation on change, loss, and recovery. Her central characters are two young girls of the same age, whose family plots are situated side-by-side in a cemetery modeled on Highgate. Lavinia Waterhouse is respectably middle-class, devoted, like her conventional, doting mother, to the right way to do things, although suspiciously well- schooled in subjects like funerary sculpture and the English practices of mourning. Her friend Maude Coleman comes from a slightly more privileged and free-thinking background. In contrast with Lavinia's mother, Maude's mother Kitty Coleman is well-educated by the standards of the day, and it has made her restless and irritable. But neither her reading, nor her gardening, nor her affair with the somber, high-thinking governor of the cemetery is enough for Kitty. She comes alive only when she discovers the women's suffrage movement, and her devotion to the cause takes her away from Maude in every sense.
Although the point of view shifts between many characters (with even the Coleman's maid and cook getting their say, sometimes unnecessarily), Falling Angels is essentially the children's story, since it is their lives that are most open to change. The narrative spans exactly the years of Edward VII's reign, from the morning after his mother Queen Victoria's death in January 1901 to his own death in May 1910. Chevalier (Girl with a Pearl Earring) deftly uses the nation's dramatically different mourning for these two monarchs to signal the social transformations of the period. Readers at ease with English history will find Falling Angels an unusually subtle novel, with an emotional range that recalls the best of the Edwardian novelists, E.M. Forster, and his quintessential novel of Edwardian manners, Howard's End. --Regina MarlerAbout the Author:

Book Description HarperCollins, UK, 2002. Trade Paperback. Book Condition: New. 5" x 7.75". In Falling Angels, Tracy Chevalier has combined a moving elegy to the lost innocence of the 21st century's grandmothers and great-grandmothers with a reminder of the strength and modernity of their aspirations and achievements. Maude and Livy are aged six in 1901, when Queen Victoria has just died and the whole country is in mourning. In 1910 they are almost young women who have experienced their own personal losses and belong to a generation who are no longer prepared to wear black for months to mark the death of Edward VII. Their families, the Colemans and the Waterhouses ("no relation to the painter"), meet in a graveyard beside their family graves. One has a large marble angel erected above it, the other an urn (an allusion more to the morbidity of a Victorian columbarium than the eternity of Keats' pre-Victorian "unravish'd bride of quietness"). Their choices of a monument to death seem to reflect their differing attitudes to life, but Chevalier makes clear that these two families are forever linked in their fates and aspirations. The story moves swiftly, switching to multiple narratives: young but quickly maturing Maude and Livy; the adult Colemans and Waterhouses; their servants; and Simon the gravedigger boy. Chevalier has chosen carefully who speaks when, and who, more importantly, keeps silent. Livy's little sister Ivy May is one of the most beguiling figures of the work, but is given only two sentences of her own (and those two bring a lump to the throat). Mrs Coleman's experiences with the campaign for women's suffrage are marginalised through silence; Maude and Livy tell instead of their reaction to the women's antics. And while Falling Angels may be a story of women, despite, or perhaps because of their exclusion from contemporary politics, Simon's observations are the most honest and revealing. Chevalier herself writes after the story's end that "the Acknowledgements is the only section of a novel that reveals an author's "normal" voice. Every character uses their "normal" voice in this novel, and Chevalier's own voice excels in ensuring that each one is unique (for example, everything is "delicious" for Livy), so that, like Mr Coleman mourning his daughter growing up, you will "miss her when she goes". --Olivia Dickinson.

A very sensible bill! Indeed, this "early voting" has become a fraud-laden sham! Shall we next allow "early voting" to begin one month before an election? Shall we keep all voting offices open 24 hours, 7 days a week, for two months? And, at what cost to The Taxpayers of The State of Wisconsin?
Really, our Legislature should move forward with bills to stop the "collective bargaining" of the remaining public servants unions. Act 10 was a great first step for The Taxpayers of Wisconsin! And more is better! =)

Special Agents And Otherwise
An account of the FBI's counterespionage snooping over the past century.
Alexander Hamilton warned that even "nations the most attached to liberty" would in the face of external danger "resort for repose and security to institutions which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights."
Tim Weiner cites the Founding Father's 1787 warning as he sets the stage for his fascinating account of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's counterespionage snooping over the past century. The FBI has, particularly in times of national danger, run roughshod over civil and political rights. But the American system of checks and balances, along with the inherent distrust of power, has provided counterbalance. On a few occasions, the bureau itself has blocked a president from rights abuses.
For "Enemies: A History of the FBI," Mr. Weiner draws on bureau records made public through the Freedom of Information Act, oral histories of FBI special agents and American diplomats, presidential notes, Senate records and other sources. The book is documented with 60 pages of footnotes. In short, Mr. Weiner's work is grounded in assiduous research and is the more compelling for it.
The FBI was born in 1908. President Theodore Roosevelt, a hyperactive Progressive incensed at the private exploitation of Western lands, commanded his attorney general, Charles J. Bonaparte, to set up a bureau of investigation. Congress was opposed, presciently fearing formation of a secret police, but Teddy went ahead anyway. The FBI still doesn't have a charter from Congress.
The bureau grew quickly under President Wilson, whose fears of sedition were fanned when German spies blew up a munitions depot near New York just after the U.S. entered World War I in 1917. He signed an executive order authorizing the roundup of any foreigner deemed disloyal.
Enemies: A History of the FBI
By Tim Weiner
(Random House, 537 pages, $30)
Congress soon passed the Espionage Act, which authorized wiretaps and the opening of mail and made it a crime to "utter, print, write or publish" disloyal ideas. In 1919, a 24-year-old Justice Department employee name J. Edgar Hoover was put in charge of the "Radical Division" to implement the act's harsh assault on free speech. Hoover ordered field agents to arrest thousands of suspects. According to Mr. Weiner, 1,055 individuals were convicted under the act, mostly for utterances. Not one was convicted of spying.
In May 1924, President Coolidge's attorney general, Harlan Fiske Stone, made Hoover, not yet 30, acting director of the bureau. He would run it for the next 48 years. His files of politically sensitive information and his exceptional political and organizational skills would make him one of the most powerful men in Washington, and in some situations the most powerful.
The politically adroit FDR, with his keen sense that knowledge is power, formed a close partnership with Hoover. The president condoned undercover measures—wiretapping, the bugging of offices and hotel rooms, and "black bag" jobs involving break-ins to raid the office files of suspect organizations. But Mr. Weiner argues that FDR slipped up by dividing intelligence-gathering authority between the FBI and the military. The reluctance of the Army, Navy and FBI to share what they knew might have been to blame for the failure to anticipate the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. Hoover, by the way, opposed the detention of Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor, but to no avail.
Harry Truman, thrown into the presidency with very little knowledge of FDR's methods, was at first appalled at the free rein his predecessor had given the FBI. But as the Cold War progressed, it soon became evident that the Soviet KGB was a formidable spy organization. Hoover had been fighting communist subversion since 1919, when a series of explosions were attributed to Lenin's newly formed Communist International (Comintern). Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, whose house had been bombed, ordered Hoover to crush the communist conspiracy. Communists got high priority from the director thereafter.
Among the book's other values, "Enemies" is a compendium of juicy spy stories, often ones that J. Edgar promoted to burnish the bureau's image. The infamous characters are all there—Klaus Fuchs, who slipped Manhattan Project secrets to the Soviets; Alger Hiss, a high State Department official who kept Moscow informed; Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who gave the Soviets a boost on nuclear-weapon development with stolen U.S. data. In each case, and many others, FBI investigations were essential to exposing the betrayals.
In the early 1970s, the U.S. was racked with protests against the Vietnam War and racial discrimination. The Weather Underground was on a bombing spree reminiscent of turn-of-the-century anarchists. Hoover, who was in his mid-70s, was losing his grip on the bureau. His top lieutenants were vying for his job. One of them, Mark Felt, would leak incriminating information to the Washington Post that would ultimately destroy the Nixon presidency. On May 2, 1972, Hoover died and the bureau's counterespionage work was thrown into turmoil. In the late 1990s, the bureau and other intelligence groups missed the signals that al Qaeda was plotting a terror strike on U.S. soil.
The 9/11 attack energized Congress and President George W. Bush to enact new security measures, primarily the Patriot Act. At this point, Mr. Weiner, a national-security reporter for the New York Times, becomes less the detached rapporteur and more the partisan. He is critical of the Bush use of unauthorized wiretaps to identify terrorist threats, challenging the president's claim, echoing FDR and other past presidents, that he had that authority as commander in chief. But if Mr. Weiner is going to hand down judgments, he might have given a fairer hearing to the arguments of Mr. Bush's national-security team and, for that matter, President Obama's, since the Bush-era policies were effectively ratified by a Democratic Congress in 2008 and remain essentially unchanged. On the whole, though, "Enemies" is an exhaustive chronicle and a very good read.
Mr. Melloan, a former columnist and deputy editor of the Journal editorial page, is the author of "The Great Money Binge: Spending Our Way to Socialism" (2009).

New London - The City Council Tuesday night rejected two agreements that Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio had made with Police Chief Margaret Ackley, saying there is no money in the budget for them.
In a 4-3 vote, the council refused to fund a $25,000 settlement with Ackley over her allegations of harassment and interfering in the department by a former city councilor. In a 5-2 vote, the council rejected a four-year employment contract adjustment with Ackley, which would have cost the city about $63,000.
The latter vote does not mean Ackley is out of a job; under state statutes, police and fire chiefs have their jobs for life - or until they retire or are fired for just cause.
Earlier this month, Finizio announced that he had reached a settlement agreement with the chief over allegations she made against former City Councilor Michael Buscetto III. An independent report by former Superior Court Judge Beverly J. Hodgson found that the city was not liable for actions or negligence in connection with the complaints against Buscetto. Finizio agreed to pay the chief $25,000 to settle the complaint and avoid the potentially heavy legal costs the city could face if the case went forward in the courts.
"I'm speaking as strongly as I can against this agreement,'' Councilor Donald Macrino said Tuesday night. "There are no grounds for a settlement. ... It's a moral issue here. We must say no to spending money."
Council President Michael Passero said the city made a mistake in negotiating with Ackley when she first brought up her complaints against Buscetto last summer. "Any employee should be directed to pursue legal options,'' he said. "It's bad policy to negotiate with employees over potential legal issues. ... The report said the city virtually has no liability."
During the discussion, City Law Director Jeffrey Londregan said that Buscetto also was offered a settlement to cover his legal fees, but it was not accepted.
"We disagree on a particular issue of law,'' Londregan said of Buscetto's attorney.
Macrino, Passero and councilors Adam Sprecace and Marie Friess-McSparran voted against paying the Ackley settlement. Councilors Wade Hyslop, John Maynard and Anthony Nolan, who is also a police officer, voted in favor.
Shortly after the council vote, Finizio, who was not at the meeting, released the following statement:
"I negotiated a settlement on behalf of the City within the confines of the recommendations in Judge Hodgson's report. I believe this settlement would have saved City taxpayers by avoiding higher litigation costs. I acknowledge the Council's authority to deny funding for this settlement and no appropriation for the satisfaction of the settlement agreement will be made."
Finizio had no comment on the council's decision not to fund the chief's contract.
Ackley's employment terms, which had been negotiated with Finizio, would have boosted her annual salary by about $3,000, to $110,725. It also would have compensated the chief for 1,196 compensatory hours she had accrued since becoming chief in mid-2009.
Sprecace said the comp time added up to about $60,000. "This seems more like a retirement agreement,'' he said.
"I don't disapprove of having a contract,'' Passero said. "My problem is, we've already budgeted for this position and this is not in line with that appropriation."
Passero, Sprecace, Macrino , Maynard and Friess-McSparran voted against the contract, while Hyslop and Nolan voted in favor.

Killington crash
KILLINGTON — High speed and bald tires led to a two-car crash Monday morning, police said.
Police said 19-year-old John Chammat, of Cumberland, R.I., was driving west on Route 4 near the intersection of Route 100, when his 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee crossed the center line and struck a 2011 BMW X5 driven by Claire Anderson, 41, of Rowayton, Conn.
Police said Anderson sustained a possible injury to her hand. Both vehicles sustained what police called significant front-end damage and were towed from the scene.
According to police, Chammat was driving over the speed limit and his rear tires had almost no tread.

[caption id="attachment_73061" align="alignright" width="372"] Ray Johnson, Rick Boland, William Silver[/caption]
ROHNERT PARK -- Few would disagree that the North Bay is a hub for the production of award-winning wines, a region synonymous with quality grapes and home to a roster of expert winemakers from around the world.
Yet while those wines are a subject of widespread intrigue, enthusiasm for the first-ever Wine Industry Finance and Accounting certificate program at Sonoma State University speaks to another key concern for current and would-be wine industry professionals -- romance aside, winemaking is pure business.
"A winemaker can create great wine -- there's certainly an artistic and scientific side. But there's also a financial side," said Ray Johnson, director of the school's Wine Business Institute.
Offered for the first time this year, the eight-course certificate program took many of the financial skills taught in the school's full-blown wine business degree programs and broke those topics out for focused instruction to a non-student audience, Mr. Johnson said.
Participants could elect to take individual courses, or the full certificate involving four core financial courses and four electives on a broader variety of topics.
Enrollment was double the average seen in other seminars offered by the Wine Institute, with as many as 50 participants per course, Mr. Johnson said.
"It's short, sharp content for people who didn't have time to go back to school for a full degree," he said.
That high level of attendance pointed towards a growing demand for number-savvy professionals in an industry that has seen margins narrow in the past few years, said Rick Boland, senior wine industry consultant at Moss Adams in Santa Rosa. After surviving inventory shortages and recession-driven changes in consumer habits, small-to-medium-sized wineries in particular are embracing skills that allow an analytical approach to their operations, he said.

How to Clean Dirty Coins Using Ketchup
Do you have any dirty coins that you feel should be cleaned? Well, you're looking at the right article.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Get a small dish. Pour some ketchup in the dish and let the coin soak in the ketchup for about 10 seconds. Scrubbing with a toothbrush can be helpful as well.
2Run the coin under cold water until the ketchup has washed off. Using some dish soap put a dab of it on both sides of the coin. Rub the coin with the dish soap for about 1 to 3 minutes.
3Rinse the coin off. Use a paper towel to dry it.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Cleaning collectible coins can take away from their value. Any potentially valuable coins should not even be handled with your bare hands. Don gloves and put them in a plastic coin envelopes and get them appraised. The same goes for all antiques -don't clean, paint or polish anything that may have value before getting them appraised.

You use your tools on a daily basis, so you want to make sure you have easy access to them at all times. But, you also want to make sure your tools are protected from damage as well as conniving thieves. Add a secure storage system to the bed of your rig by installing a truck toolbox. Truck tool boxes are perfect for carrying all of your tools, gear and equipment. And, they're available in several sizes and styles to meet whatever your needs may be.
After you select the tool box that's best for you, you'll want to read up on how to install a truck tool box. A truck tool box installation is simple and can be completed yourself in just a matter of minutes. Follow these four easy steps for a smooth installation.
Helpful Tips
No matter which tool box you choose, order in confidence knowing that we back your purchase with our 1-year lower price guarantee. And, we throw in free shipping on more than 99% of all orders, saving you even more money.
Toolbox Installation Steps
1. First, determine where you are going to place the tool box in your truck bed. Most people choose to install truck boxes directly behind the cab. Wherever you choose, just make sure you can easily open the tool box.
2. Measure the width of the box, and then cut rubber or foam padding to place on the truck rails to protect from scratching. If you have a bed liner in place, you can skip this step.
3. Enter the rubber j-bolt plugs into the pre-drilled holes, if they're not already there. Then, place the box on top of the padding or bed liner.
4. Open the tool box to expose the interior. From underneath the box, inset the hook the j-bolt under the bed rail and poke the threaded part through the rubber plug. Apply a washer from the hardware kit and then tighten into place. Do this with all four j-bolts. You'll want to make sure everything is tight to prevent loosening, but not tight enough to damage the bed rails.
Choosing the Right Toolbox for Your Truck
When it comes to selecting tool boxes for trucks, you have several options. Choose from crossover toolboxes, side mount tool boxes, fifth wheel toolboxes and more. Crossover toolboxes span across the width of your truck bed, providing sufficient storage for all your tools. Side mount toolboxes, on the other hand, span the length of your truck bed, providing the perfect spot for your longer tools. For toolboxes that you can take with you on the job site, browse through our selection of portable tool boxes.

Though your local department or office supply store may have dozens of different appointment books to choose from, the cost of keeping them in stock for a small business (especially a busy small business) can add up very quickly. Even pre-punched, pre-made appointment binder paper can carry a hefty price tag.
Making your own appointment book isn't difficult. And the result is a custom, professional looking organizer that costs no more than the paper it is printed on.
You can also insert a graphic of your company logo for a more professional appearance.
In most cases, this is the default setting. However, the margins can be altered in the "Page Layout" tab of most programs.
This can include the name of the customer and the name of the assigned staff person.
Print the page again and repeat for every month of the year.
Also remember that many office supply stores have pre-punched printer paper available to save you the time of punching the holes yourself.
If you have a computer available in the reception area of your business, you can save time and money by simply saving the spreadsheet on the desktop and typing in the appointments as you go. Be careful, though; closing the program without saving it could very easily wreak havoc on your scheduling.
Also consider using online scheduling software. This grants you the ease of making your appointments online without having to worry about losing all of your appointments if there's a power outage before you save your schedule or your computer crashes unexpectedly.

TULSA — Don Jimerson called Chuck Bowman more than 40 years ago with a request.
Jimerson then was the University of Oklahoma freshman football coach. Bowman was Oklahoma's director of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
"Chuck, you need to come over here and meet this kid from Sallisaw," Jimerson told Bowman. "This could be the next Billy Graham."
Davis never became Billy Graham, though Davis did, as a college quarterback, speak at a Graham crusade. And he affected Oklahomans in ways that still resound.
From football fans who remember gridiron glory to aging baby boomers who remember how a mop-haired preacher/quarterback touched their soul decades ago, Davis' impact has resurged in the week since his March 17 death in a South Bend, Ind., plane crash.
"I knew he was popular," said Joe Davis, Steve's younger brother. "I didn't know he was that popular."
Which is how the First Baptist Church came to be filled with an estimated 1,700 people Monday.
"We didn't really realize the significance and the impact of what he's done for the state of Oklahoma," said another brother, Todd Davis. "What he's done in life in general."
A spiritual version of the OU Chant flowed from Rhonda Roush's fingers on the grand piano as Davis' family entered the sanctuary.
To paraphrase the Sooner alma mater, a thousand strong joined in heart and song, in praise of a man who was many things.
Part quarterback hero, part preacher, part broadcaster, part businessman, part pilot, part father, part sinner, part saint. And all extraordinary.
"He was really special," said Bowman, one of three who eulogized Davis and who related the Jimerson story. "Steve came into our lives two years after we started FCA. Steve Davis became our poster child. He was FCA before we were FCA."
Dozens of former Sooners attended as the stories flowed about the man who quarterbacked OU to a 32-1-1 record from 1973-75. But few of them were about football.
The stories were about Davis' smile and charisma and world-class hair. About his depth of spirit and quality of leadership. About overcoming dark times later in life to find the victory he had found as a younger man.
"We all have problems," said First Baptist pastor Deron Spoo, who delivered the memorial message. "Greatness is not defined by the heights we rise, but the depths from which we recover."
Rossi Robinson became friends with Davis in 1972, while both were OU students. Monday, Robinson — the uncle of former OSU quarterback Zac Robinson — also eulogized Davis.
"He had an inner joy, a contagious smile," Robinson said.
Robinson held up a Bible, given to him by Davis on Feb. 28, 1975, with the inscription: "Two things God promises will last forever: the souls of men and God's word. This is the only thing I could ever give you that will last. May God print it deeply in your heart."
Four decades after Davis quarterbacked the Sooners, his effect on teammates is still felt.
John Roush, an all-American lineman in 1974, married Rhonda 37 years ago. Davis officiated the ceremony. Both Roushes were part of the funeral Monday.
John Roush termed Davis a "mentor, confidant, friend. A guy that was our leader."
Billy Sims, who eventually would win the Heisman Trophy, was a freshman in Davis' senior year of 1975.
"First preacher I ever had for a quarterback," Sims said. "You couldn't get him off his beliefs. Amazing. Especially in the '70s, for a guy like that, being true to the Lord."
Davis became a mentor to Brian Bosworth, who played at OU more than a decade after Davis.
"Not many like him on the planet," said Bosworth, who has become an avowed Christian. "We spent a lot of time having good conversations. I wasn't as deep at that point in my journey."
Bo Davis, Steve's son and a former baseball player at the University of Missouri, said he agrees with those who call his dad a legend. But not because Steve Davis was a championship quarterback or Baptist preacher or ABC football analyst.
"I never saw him play a down," Bo Davis said. "Can't remember a single game he called (on television). Never saw him preach a single sermon."
But Steve Davis taught his son to ride a bike and hit a curveball and throw a spiral. "He taught me how to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat," Bo said from the pulpit. "And because he instilled in me the value of outworking your competition, especially when you appear to be overmatched.
"He is a legend because he urged me to thoughtfully consider the choices that I make in life. 'Choose wisely,' he would say. All he ever wanted to be was a good dad."
Pastor Spoo told the story of Davis' Jeep, bought while he was at OU. Davis' brother George borrowed it and turned it over on sand dunes. Steve Davis had it repaired. Joe and Todd Davis also borrowed it on separate occasions — and wrecked it.
"Most of us would fix our brothers," Spoo said. "Steve fixed the Jeep."
In the hallway of First Baptist after the ceremony, Steve Owens, another Heisman winner, shook his head and said, "We lost a good one."
But Pastor Spoo prefers a different word choice. Steve and Joe Davis were off-roading one day when Joe was forced to admit he was lost. Steve got behind the wheel, quickly got them back to the main road and all was well.
Later, Steve told Joe, "Brother, I was never lost."
And so, Spoo told the thousand strong, "Today, Steve is gone, but even now, he's not lost."

RECENT years have seen new institutions growing in Great Britain, and old ones extending their services to increase the foreign credit facilities enjoyed by British traders. The occasion has lain not only in demands of war and the huge credit turnover immediately following, but also in the will to realize an all-British system of banking, which could meet the far-flung needs of imperial and world trade without too vital reliance on foreign interests and companies save in the countries of their domicile.
Specialization was as marked in the British financial world before the war as it is at present--and perhaps more so in the field of foreign-trade financing. One concomitant of this was the surprising extent to which great commercial and deposit banks relied upon institutions operating overseas, whether British or foreign. They leaned heavily upon German banks with London offices for Continental intelligence, and made use of exchange, collection and agency facilities provided by Colonial, Dominion, and European banks. The degree of this dependence was clearly revealed after the war, when uncertain exchanges and chaotic political conditions necessitated a more efficient range of services than ever before. At the same time, the failure to rehabilitate former enemy banks and the impaired efficiency of other foreign institutions which had long been cogs in the London credit mechanism left embarrassing gaps in England's facilities for foreign trade financing.

Skip to comments.New Jersey mom arrested after allegedly taking daughter, 5, into tanning booth
Posted on 05/02/2012 8:37:46 AM PDT by Mr. K
A New Jersey woman was arrested after police said she brought her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, causing the girl to suffer burns.
But 44-year-old Patricia Krentcil, who was charged with second-degree child endangerment, said her daughter was never exposed to the tanning booth's UV rays and instead got slightly sunburned while playing outside on a warm day.
The girl's father told NBC 4 New York his daughter told classmates at school that she "went tanning with Mommy." He thinks a teacher overheard, inaccurately connected the girl's sunburn to the tanning salon trip and contacted police.
(Excerpt) Read more at usnews.msnbc.msn.com ...
no one has any common sense any more, including this mother who is obviously buring herself so deeply her brain is affected
where does she work? with all this time for the tanning booth I wonder- are WE paying for her?
Yeah, she's lovely.
I'm wondering if this isn't one of those pageant moms. Couldn't she have just sprayed her with than tanning spray?
Also, the mother's picture in the article is frightening. She should have stopped tanning about 40 years ago.
Sometimes parents mean it when they threaten to tan their child's hide.
That's the mother??? She's gonna be a poster-pic for skin cancer before she's 50.
The mother looks like something from Planet of the Apes.
Holy cow.
Life imitating "art":
I remember my mom buying a sun lamp and sitting us all in front of it for ten minutes or so on winter evenings to ensure that we all got enough Vitamin D.
Please tell me that the statute of limitations has run out.
I tended to buy the "misunderstanding" story unitl I saw the video of the Mom. She appears to have disfigured herself through excessive tanning. She appears to have extremely, poor judgment when it comes to tanning, so, while it might have been a misunderstanding, it would not suprise me at akk if she put her 5 year old in a tanning booth.
I hope this woman gets the help she needs, because she appears to have a real problem. I am rather disgusted that tanning salons would continue to serve this woman.
Is she one of those 'tanning bed addicts' ?
Based on what you stated, it seems almost without doubt that is exactly what she did.
>>>Nanny state intrusion into everything- idiot teacher think they must report everything to the authorities- and for the most part they are right because they will be in trouble if they don't <<<
While I agree that there is a "nanny state teacher" problem, I think the teacher did the right thing in reporting this. I presume the teacher has seen the mother and her horribly disfigured face, apparently the result of extreme over-tannning.
I imgaine the teacher feared that the mother was going to disfigure the little girl the way she has disfigured herself.
[is there a rotisserie involved?]
She look like she fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
The woman is the kind of thing that showed up in my nightmares when I was a kid. Whew!
Wonder what she looked like before taking that job as a cleaning lady at Chernobyl?
When she dies a man could make a good pair of shoes out of her skin.
But, I've always wanted a healthy tan. So, I got the instant tanning stuff from Walgreens.
When my husband (then boyfriend) next saw me, he thought I had hepatitis or something else medically wrong. I looked SO yellow!
So, I'll just live with the inherited Irish skin and be grateful I do not have that woman's terrible looking skin. Very grateful for SPF.
Otzi the iceman.
Also, the poor woman recently had to get rid of her dog. It seems that whenever she walked in the house, the dog would get excited, running towards her screaming; "BACON, BACON, BACON, BACON, BAAAACOOOOOONNN!!!!"
I really despise these kimchi'd image side-by-sides. There is no way to compare these two. Lighting, image size, etc., just dam annoying. And so many businesses and people do this to scam the viewer.
Doesn't that instant tanning stuff rub off on your sheets?
It's from the movie, "Soul Man" made in 1986.
The movie's protagonist is Mark Watson (Howell), the pampered son from a rich family who is about to attend Harvard Law School along with his best friend Gordon (Gross). However, all of a sudden his father's neurotic psychiatrist talks his patient into having more fun for himself instead of spending money on his son. Faced with the horrifying prospect of having to pay for law school by himself, Mark decides to take up a scholarship, but the only suitable one is for African Americans only. So he decides to cheat by using tanning pills in a larger dose than prescribed to appear as an African American. Watson then sets out for Harvard, naïvely believing that blacks have no problems at all in American society.
Soul Man movie trailer.
That's a great flick. I love when the girlfriend brings him home for dinner.
She looks like Eduardo Ciannelli as the Thuggee cult leader in Gunga Din.
Planet of the Apes looking woman
She looks like Cornelius, one of the Planet of the Apes characters.
If you threw her in a swimming pool, you'd skim ugly for a week!
I know.....shocking.
I just sent this to my wife in work....Truly bizarre.....
It's disturbing, to me at least.
This, OTOH, is uplifing:
This is nuts....
After viewing that i truly believe their is a god....
And He's a most generous and loving God...
Some radio talkers here in LA were saying that most of this gal's "tan" is out of a bottle rather than from a tanning bed.
Somehow she managed to avoid guido orange and instead is peat bog brown. Maybe she's using leather dye.

So I know I am getting old, I feel so advanced to leave comments on line here, rather then mailing in comments, that I use to do years ago. But guess twitter is where it is happening for leaving comments and I am clueless on how that works. I don't know how to text either, cell phone for us is when we get a flat or call home and say, need anything while I am out.

When I received my original mission call in December 1968 it was for a 30 month mission to Japan, but a couple weeks later I was in the first group going through a 2-month Language Training Mission in Hawaii for a 24 month mission. Then missionary training was required for all missionaries, instead of the one week I had before leaving for Hawaii. President Kimball's call for more missionaries from outside the US has changed the lives of tens if thousands of LDS around the world. And the Lord responded by opening Africa and the former Soviet Bloc nations. Unexpected and miraculous things are going to happen that will open doors for all these additional missionaries around the world, as young LDS women and men and their families exercise their faith and answer this call.

I had heard that they might change the age on the young men because it has been done in other nations. So many young in the United States lose their focus on a mission in the time between high school and 19. My son, who only has 2 weeks left of his mission to Fiji, would have been gone immediately after high school if he could have. What I didn't expect is that my 18 year old daughter could be gone in a year! Yikes. I wasn't ready to send another missionary out again. But I see a lot of wisdom in the change. Imagine the strength of a whole generation of RMs marrying RMs:D This should also be a wake up call to all parents to get your kids ready for missions while they are still in your home. I am excited about the change. (And a little scared because I am sure that I will be seeing more of my daughters serve than they would have with the older age.)

Why on earth can't they both go at 18?
Some missionaries like in Korea would serve at older ages. Military requirement and college.

I've tried wool socks, neoprene socks, "hightech" socks to no avail. My toes just get too cold during a cross race or training in temps below 40 degrees. Anybody out there with some tips to keep the tooties warm? THANKS
baggies over the toes, toe covers, shoe covers, chemical warmers, roomy shoes for multiple socks
You can't compress your toes so shoes that aren't too small are important.
Oh, and the winter forum is loaded with good info on this.
"Without music, life would be a mistake."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
just chop em off...
for shorter forays or for races where you don't want the bulk, Where Fleece Sock REI has them, or a wool Sock then use some Neopreene Toosties from performance. Now shove a chemical warmer between the top of your shoe and the Toe cover. The vents that give your shoes air in the summer now let heat in from the chemical warmer, also help you not to get burned by them(I have gotten burn blisters twice from warmers) Should do the trick. I use these, for cooler rides then when it gets really cold I have lake boots that I wear a fleece sock with the warmer inside taped to the top my toeson top of the sock, but have to be carefull that it doesn't get too hot outside cause if it does I will burn my toes. hope that helps
A thin sandwich bag over the toes is one of the best options, if not the best. Add it to what ever else you do. The front of the foot is where the wind chill is. That's why my winter tights have a wind proof front and a breathable back. It works.
also make sure there's a good seal where your cleats attach. that place hemorrhages heat and also lets in water, which is often the source of numbness for me.
some shoes have a sticky pad to put over it, some have nothing. i like moleskin because it's waterproof and insulating, i just cut a big patch and stick it in the shoe under the insole.
that plus a good polypro sock under a thick wool sock. still, in the real frigid temps numbness is pretty much unavoidable.

On really cold days, 30 degrees or so, I use woolie boolie socks and pearl amfib shoe covers with chemical toe warmers inside my shoes. Feet and toes are fine. If none of these things work it might be a circulation issue? Check with your doctor.
someone at a race today told me of the existence of neoprene socks. I'ma haveta look for some.
dog poop bags from the race venue waste stations served pretty well though, to be fair.
Chemical warmers are no that $$ you can usually get them 40 pairs for 30$ I only use warmers if I am riding more then a hour in the winter, so that means only on the weekends or long riders before work. This works out to about two years worth of rides for me I live in Wash. DC area.
I'll go with pantyhose under socks. You've got to be very secure with your manhood though.
I have enough words to get me into trouble, but not enough to get me out of trouble.

Movie: About Time; Cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, Lindsay Duncan, Tom Hollander, Margot Robbie, Richard Cordery; Director: Richard Curtis; Rating: **1/2
Set in a characteristically middle-class English milieu, "About Time" is a sci-fi romantic comedy whose premise is very much on the lines of "Back to the Future" or "The Time Traveller's Wife", where the protagonist can travel back in time.
In an idyllic sea-side town in Cornwall, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) is like any other ordinary boy leading an ordinary life. He is adorably geeky but embarrassingly incompetent in matters of the heart.
On his 21st birthday he is let into a family secret. His father (Billy Nighy) waveringly tells him, "The men in the family can travel in time, any time, but mostly ones' personal timeline, hence killing Hitler is not an option." He categorically states that this is some kind of hereditary gift that involves nothing more high-tech than focusing at the timeline with clenched fists in a darkened room.
Tim soon puts his newfound skill to use by reversing awkward and disconcerting moments to woo girls. But gradually he learns from his failed attempts with his sister's best friend Charlotte (Margot Robbie) that some things just aren't meant to be.
So he moves to London to find a future as a lawyer and a friend for companionship. He puts up at the home of his dad's friend, the caustic, embittered playwright Harry (Tom Hollander) and soon meets Mary (Rachel McAdams), a reader at a publishing house, after a blind date in a pitch-dark restaurant. They click and exchange numbers promising to meet soon.
But no sooner does he arrive home, he realizes that he was supposed to be at Harry's play that night. So to fix the blunder he goes back in time. But by doing this he blows his chances of meeting Mary, and so he must find another way to engineer their "first" encounter.
Using his special powers, he transforms himself into her ideal partner by rewinding the clock every time he needs to correct ill-conceived statements or messy misunderstandings. This leitmotif throws up a few intensely inspired moments along the way, including a first-night sexual encounter that transforms Tim from lackluster to red-hot.
Also, in his efforts to save his sister Katherine (Lydia Wilson) who is fondly called "Kit Kat", from trauma, Tim learns there are some events that can't be changed without unravelling others. And eventually, it's a long happy ending.
As for the performances, Gleeson as Tim delivers an utterly charming performance. He has a radiant and believable chemistry with both Rachel and Nighy, since the father-son relationship is given equal emotional weightage as the central romance.
Nighy's affable, easy-going patriarch is especially good in a prickly role that's funny and endearing. Rachel is competent and smoothly glides as Gleeson's love interest. Lindsay Duncan as the garden crazy mother of Tim is wacky, weird and wasted.
Of the rest of the supporting cast Lydia Wilson, as Tim's dysfunctional sister and Richard Cordery, as the mentally challenged Uncle Desmond, are dazzling and exceptional.
With a quaint background score and good production values, the film is visually decent, even though there is ample use of the hand-held camera.
Though there are a few short comings in the narration, writer-director Richard Curtis's 'About Time' is a sweet and soothingly evocative romance, guaranteed to raise a few laughs.
