good selection and some good buys
This is my beef with Dillards. I was a big shopper on line back 54-5-6 years ago but most of my buying now goes to places like Nordstroms, Estee Lauder.com;Neiman Marcus, Ralph Lauren and Macys. Why?: The first three stores listed offer FREE shipping. Lauren has 5.00 shipping charges for 5-7 days. Estee Lauder is FREE Shipping. Macy's is FREE if you purchase 50.00 worth of beauty products or spend 99.99 in merchandise. I have a fetish with shipping charges. Dillards needs to be more competitive but so far asking them about shipping charges for the past 3 years nothing has changed. I am unable to go out and shop and depend on on line shopping. But..............why should I spend 8.50-11.95 and upwards on shipping costs that I can get free from one of their competitors. Oh well. They have lost about 75% of my business in the past 3 years.
I love how Dillards has the great brands. Yes they cost more, but the quality is great.

I work in an environment where I have to connect to SQL Server databases hosted on different servers with many different application logins. I might have ten different application logins for a single database instance.
I find it incredibly difficult finding the stored connection parameters in SQL Server's "Connect to Server" prompt. Is it possible to name my various connections with nice aliases (like in SQL Developer or Toad for Oracle) to help me keep track of what connection goes where?

NICE JUICE , Fully MASCULINE!I used a full bottle of 100ml in 2009 -10 , purchased from Reliance Mart which as an authentic Russian import! I think this has got a special apple cider note which really stands out , the more the heat the more it projects. I used to apply this with CK Eternity but in moderation (very less of Eternity) thats the one I hate the most but this really workds wonder and got a ton of compliments - lasts almost 9hrs with the dry down. Always hit your pluse points (below the cheek bone & Chest and behind the neck)

I have had my coolant system tested at two different shops and both said I have a small external coolant leak on the back of the engine, either the intake or the head gasket. Today a cadillac mechanic told me he believes it would be an engine oil cooler. I am having an oil pressure problem also. Can you tell me what the symptoms of engine oil cooler vs. head gasket are? 108,000 miles on it.

Skip to comments.N.J.'S P.U. RIPENS APPLE-BELCHING BOG BLAMED FOR CITYWIDE GAS STINK
Posted on 01/09/2007 7:36:47 AM PST by finnman69
Who cut the cheese?
New Jersey, apparently.
Across the length and breadth of Manhattan, people were asking, "What's that smell?" after a pungent odor like natural gas or rotten eggs blanketed the borough and northern New Jersey for three hours yesterday morning.
By evening, the answer seemed to be a stinky gas emitted by a New Jersey swamp or marsh.
"That's where our noses and instruments tell us" the smell was coming from, said Charles Sturcken, a spokesman for the city Department of Environmental Protection.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Figures: It's a natural phenomenon.
You'd think that the lefties would be happy about it since it wasn't man-made.
The DUmmies said it was Bush's "Black Ops" boys testing a new nerve agent to see how fast it would spread, then blame terrorists. MIHOP #2.
Since the 60's the answer has always been "swamp gas."
>>>By evening, the answer seemed to be a stinky gas emitted by a New Jersey swamp or marsh.
That would be Fresh Kills
Here are some aeriel shots of Fresh Kills.
Most people get their impression of NJ when they see what's on the other side of the Lincoln Tunnel or GW Bridge. Having lived there twice, I can tell you that it's a beautiful state with lots to offer. Very liberal but a great state.The beaches are some of the best.
Jimmy Hoffa returns.
Your voice has changed but your breath smells the same.
This is what we get for leaving wetlands unpaved...
Now now...I know some people in New Jersey like to claim Staten Island as their own (for what reason God only knows), but last I checked it was still part of New York, and Fresh Kills landfill is located there.
In Pennsylvania, we considered Jersey a toxic waste dump, not a swamp. But maybe it's not all that different!
The Fresh Hill's positioning to Jersey City explains that.
Okay, yes. I see what you're saying.
You are right though. There is a blur as to where NJ ends and NYC begins. How many times have you heard people say that NJ is the Capitol of NY?
Not true. Northern and western NJ is quite hilly, but the eastern side IS jsut about all swamp.
In Jersey, we consider Pennslyvania to be "where the poor people live".
I told you eating those pork and beans would get you in trouble.
LOL. I heard about all the stink.
They should get their heads checked.
BTW, I'm just teasin' ya with the Ha Ha Guy ;)
Of course you know this means war cheese girl. ;)
Of course that is pretty funny though. lol
"So it stinks. Yougottaproblemwiddat?"
Lol! Oh boy, what did I get myself into!
You think NJ stinks, wait til you get a load of me. ;)
Do you know what a bubbler is?
...and you can't Google it either!
Is it a leaky toilet or a water fountain? and I didn't Google it.
A water Fountain, or at Fort Dix chemical waste. lol, seriously we have been told never to drink from the water fountains on base.
The Garbage State
BTW, to me this is a water fountain.
I wouldn't want to try to get a drink from it. ;)
Ya missed it by that much, my eastern bloc friend. In Massachusetts it's called a "Bubbla"
darn dialect.
You might be a Wisconsinite if...
...you refer to a drinking fountain as the bubbler. ..."vacation" means going 'up nort' to Crivitz for the weekend.
...you measure distance in hours.
...you know several people who have hit deer more than once. You might be a Wisconsinite if...
...you often switch from "heat" to "A/C" and back again. In the same day.
...you use a down comforter and gloves in the summer.
...you drive at 65mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.
...you see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
You might be a Wisconsinite if...
...you install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
...you think of the major food groups as cheese, venison, beer, fish and berries.
...you carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.
...there are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the Fleet Farm at any given time. You might be a Wisconsinite if...
...snow tires come standard on all your cars.
...you refer to the Packers as "we".
...you have gotten frostbitten and sunburned in the same week.
...you can identify an Illinois accent.
You might be a Wisconsinite if... ...you consider the mosquito as the state bird. ...the first card game you learned as a child was Sheepshead
Here are the rest. Enjoy!
Do you know how to play Sheepshead?
No, but how about some Euchre?
You got me on that one. Quarters is a game I can play or up the river.
Do you call an ace (besides the diamond) as partner?
I was good at quarters (off my nose) in h.s.
It's not the easiest game to learn how to play and many people don't have the patience to learn, but once you know how and know strategy it's lots of fun. TTYL, fun chatting w/ya Joisey Boy! ;)

Follow VMware's advice to keep VM time from drifting
If you find the Linux virtual machines have been falling out of sync, then it's possible you need to enable a key vSphere setting.
Our Linux virtual machines lose their time syncing often. How do you keep VM time in sync?
Continue Reading This Article

Keeping VM time synchronized is critical to making sure such things as snapshots are created and restored at the proper time and to ensure VMs are getting the services they need when they need them.
For Linux virtual machines, VMware recommends using Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronization to adjust the VMs to the correct time.
When you have configured NTP, disable the VMware Tools time synchronization feature if it is running. Otherwise you will have two synchronization mechanisms in contention.
In the time between NTP time synchronization intervals, the time is dependent on the "local clock" of your virtual machine. Since there is no real local clock, it's possible this is the cause of the drift.
It is a good idea to use the correct kernel parameters for your Linux distribution. The most recent distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 do not need additional parameters. Since many VMware appliances are based on SLES 11, no additional configuration is necessary.
The list of Linux distributions and the proper kernel parameters can be found at the VMware knowledge base site in article 1006427 found here.

Syria doomed to 'hell' without political deal -envoy
MOSCOW/AZAZ, Syria (Reuters) – The international mediator touting a peace plan for Syria warned yesterday of "hell" if the warring sides shun talks, and Moscow accused enemies of President Bashar al-Assad of blocking negotiations.UN-Arab Lea-gue envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said in Moscow that responsible people inside and outside Syria should "help the Syrians stop their descent into more and more bloodshed, into more and more chaos and perhaps a failed state."
Efforts to find a negotiated solution to a 21-month-old war that has killed some 45,000 people have floundered, with the opposition, buoyed by rebel military advances, demanding that Assad be excluded from power before any talks can proceed.
In a sign that the war may not quickly be won, government forces – in retreat for much of the past few months – scored a victory in the strategically important central city of Homs, where they pushed rebels from a district after days of fighting.
But in the north, Syria's national airline had to cancel a flight from Cairo to Aleppo, according to Egyptian airline officials, due to insecurity at an airport that rebels have declared as a target and where explosions were heard over-night.

- William of Ockham - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1285?-1347/49?). The reputation of William of Ockham in philosophy and theology has never been as great as that of his 13th-century predecessor Thomas Aquinas. The reason is that Ockham stood outside the mainstream of Catholic thought in his lifetime. He was born in about 1285, probably in Surrey, England. As a youth he entered the Franciscan order and remained in it his whole life. His first love was logic, which he studied thoroughly. A philosophical principle called "Ockham's razor" has been attributed to him. It admonishes: Do not devise more explanations than necessary for any given situation.

There have been no reports of overdosage from the oral administration of nimodipine. Symptoms of overdosage would be expected to be related to cardiovascular effects such as excessive peripheral vasodilation with marked systemic hypotension. Clinically significant hypotension due to nimodipine overdosage may require active cardiovascular support with pressor agents and specific treatments for calcium channel blocker overdose. Since nimodipine is highly protein-bound, dialysis is not likely to be of benefit.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: Ocean10000 & incrediBILL & phranque
I have a site which is rewriting all urls to the main index.php file.
However, I DON'T want it to rewrite the main url - I want that to go to index.html (where we have a holding page).
The .htaccess rule for the rewrite is simple:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php¦images¦robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
But how do I stop it from rewriting the root www.example.com ?
Thanks in advance for any help :-)
Unless excluded, *all* requests must be handled properly by the script.
I'm not familiar with CodeIgniter, but you'd also do well to test thoroughly to make sure that if it cannot find a requested resource, it returns a proper 404-Not Found header, and NOT a 200-OK (no matter what the page content it returns might be).

Comfy bed and pillows. Good enough breakfast options. Friendly staff. Very fast check in and check out. Location is great. Very close to Olivet University.
A little tricky to find. Have to go around other hotels and mall parking. Could use another sign with arrow.
Staff was awesome and very helpful and the room we were in was very clean and comfortable.
Low water pressure
The location
The rooms smelled like smoke and also the entry into the lobby area smelled like smoke. This was not expected because the sign posted states that the hotel is a smoke free environment.
Pleasant staff. Good Location. OK price.
CLEANLINESS The room smelled and then we found a few ants but thought nothing of it. Those little critters are everywhere. By morning the entire wall and table were COVERED in ants (no food anywhere in the room). If the hotel doesn't treat for ants, what other tiny critters (roaches, bedbugs etc) does this hotel have? When I told the clerk as we checked out she said "Oh that's bad, no-one should have to room with bugs.....may I have your credit card please?"
AND......the toilet was clogged although there appeared to be fresh water in the bowl. I called the desk and asked them to send someone with a plunger to fix it and when I answered the door - there was a plunger standing at the door !
Everyone wad very friendly. Very clean which is the most important.
Front Desk was nice..
Horrible - we had BED BUGS. my wife actually woke up to them crawling on her!!When we complained they did take away the charge but NO compensation for all the stress, clothes to be cleaned the next day.. Should we be happy?
Free breakfast left a lot to be desired. No refirgerator/microwave. Toilet was so low to floor that it was extremely difficult to use. It was like sitting on the floor.
Friendly staff. Budget friendly. Great coffee!
Limited breakfast selection. All carb breakfast foods. No protein at all.
It was nice and clean and the greet staff was very friendly! Really enjoyed the stay.
Updated facilities.
The staff was very nice, the room was clean and plenty spacious compared to some budget hotels I've stayed in. I'm very sensitive to smells and many cheaper hotels have a funky smell, this girl smelled clean (on the non smoking floor. )
Only that the walls are paper thin. My next door neighbors were nihilism owls and they were watching tv at a very reasonable sound level and conversing at a normal but quiet level, but I could hear everything. Until midnight.
the room was clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast was good with lots of variety. Price was right
This facility is in great need of renovation. We should have known that it was not going to be good by the refuse in the parking lot. The carpets are
filthy and it's best described as RUN DOWN. The bathroom was clean as was the bed but, that's about all the good to be said.
Most everything except for the friendly young man at the desk.

The statements, views, and opinions presented are those of the candidates and are not endorsed by, nor do they necessarily reflect, the opinions of the Sturgis StormWatch or Sturgis Charter Public School.
President and Vice President Candidates:
Hello fellow Sturgis students! I am Tyler Holbert Catania and I hope to be your next president. I have been involved in Student Council since freshman year. This last year I was the Junior rep! I don't want to be like any cliché president with the line "I want to make a difference". This is because I want you to make the difference. We are just the people that will work to get it done. Only together can we make this next year truly memorable. I am involved in other extracurriculars besides Student Council such as Model UN and Relay for Life. I want you all to come to me with ideas and advice and things that you want in the upcoming year. I truly believe that Chris will be a committed member and will take on the role as VP. He is motivated and willing to put in all the necessary work. This will be my fourth consecutive year on the council, and I am ready to face any obstacle, while upholding the responsibilities as President if given the opportunity. I plan to keep the club focused and productive, while still having fun. Being president is something that I have always wanted to do at Sturgis and I feel as though Senior year is the best time to do it. This year I want Student Council to create events that will spark the most interest from the student body with communication through Twitter and other social media. Lastly, we want to create an awesome year for the upcoming seniors, the current freshman as they embark on their second year in Sturgis, and the upcoming juniors who face one of the toughest challenges I have ever faced: the IB. I hope we earn your vote and we become the next Vice President and President of the year 2016.
I am Chris Neuman, known to some as "Gibby", and I hope to be your next Vice President. Currently, I participate in many extracurriculars such as year-round sports, ski club, and Model UN. Additionally, I am the acting president of the Business Club which shows I am committed and ready to embark on any challenge faced if I take on the role as Student Council Vice President. Although I have not been very active through the Student Council in previous years, I have collaborated with them greatly throughout my Business Club years in events such as the annual Dodgeball event and Field Day. It is also important to know that my running mate, Tyler, has been involved since freshman year at Sturgis and was even the Junior Representative this year for Student Council. He is more than qualified for the role as President. We are friendly and approachable so feel free to come up to us anytime with questions and concerns. We want to represent you all and build an enjoyable year for all of us!
Why does Caroline Sullivan and Molly Nemes want to run for President and Vice President of Student Council? Not only are we a dream team, but we have also been active members of student council for the past two year. This gives us experience to continue the amazing work of Stuco. We've also had the chance to look it all over, see some mistakes, and fix them for the future. One major problem is communication: communication to the staff and students and even communication in our own club. We are going to make it our mission to fix that. One way to fix communication with the students is to give them news through the things they always have: their phones. We will make them feel comfortable and open to that idea. We'll let them know the kind of events and stuff that Stuco is up to. This will help with dances and other Stuco supported events. The way we can fix communications in the club is to add a more gentle yet aggressive approach so we can get stuff done faster, even have emergency meetings every once and awhile, because they are very much needed sometimes. We are very friendly people who won't be afraid to get the word out and just make everyday school life better for everyone. We are open to any ideas, and will know which ones are best for the student body. We have filled in for our present leaders, Maggie and Liam, when they were doing mocks. We worked really well together.
We are strong, friendly and easily approachable people who are ready to give the student body what they want. We've been getting stuff done since 1999 and we plan to continue that. We have already made it our goal to set out, get new club members and ideas, and continue to keep Stuco a strong club. Thank you!
***The new Secretary will be Hannah Trelegan who ran in an uncontested race. Congrats, Hannah!
Treasurer Candidates:
Hello, Sturgis East! I'm Sophie Gibson and I am running for the position of Student Council's treasurer. I have been involved with student councils since I was my class representative in second grade, including holding the position of Vice President in my fifth grade year. After being at a variety of schools in Virginia and beyond, I think I have a unique perspective on the capacities of student groups in schools and I would love to be given the ability to exercise some of my experience as pertaining to the finances of our Student Council.
I am incredibly interested in finances (let me know if you're interested as to why I've started my retirement account!) and am extremely willing to spend the necessary time investigating as to how to best use our money in our school community and beyond. I have also had several meetings with Laura, your current treasurer, and have gotten notes and tips from her that can help our Student Council to function as well as it has this year moving forward. I was largely involved in the senior gift bags this year along with aiding in the preparation for and execution of Student Council's other events this year.
Sturgis East has many great opportunities to come together as a school community and have fun, but we also have the capacity to do great good in our community outside of school. As treasurer, I would be very interested in collaborating with other clubs and school groups to find the most effective way to use our resources for the greater good. I want to improve upon the practices and events of our current Student Council.
Thank you for your consideration and don't forget to vote Sophie Gibson for treasurer Thursday!
Nellie Marshall-Torres
My name is Nellie Marshall-Torres and I'd like to run for treasurer of Student Council. I think that I'm capable of contributing to dances in the creative aspects, the working aspects, and the financial aspects. I was the main organizer of the Go Green Fashion show this year and I've dealt with all the different aspects of organizing an event.
I've talked to Molly Nemes and Connor Holmes and I understand what needs to be done in student council and I feel as though I have valuable opinions to contribute to the group. I think that Student Council is a strong club with a lot of dedicated members that I can work well with. Go Storm!
Senior Representative Candidates:
Lauren Benedict
Hey guys! I'm Lauren Benedict and I am running to be the Senior Rep. Although I have not been involved with Student Council in previous years, I think it would be a great opportunity to be the representative of the senior class. I am willing to put in all of the required work and attend every meeting. I want to include everyone's opinion and incorporate our class into new events. I hope to make Student Council a much more approachable club for anyone that wants to be involved in what's going on here at Sturgis. One of my goals if I get elected is to make STUCO a club that anyone can feel at ease to join and be a part of- that way we get the opportunity to include the voices of everyone in the school. I also really want to focus on enhancing the school spirit of our class especially during spirit week- come on guys... we lost to the sophomores last year, there's no way I'm letting that happen again. I've always been a super social person and I'm totally willing to meet and talk with anyone that wants to bring their ideas to Sturgis. I've been involved in clubs like Mock Trial and MUN in the past, and I recently took on a leadership role on the lacrosse team. I am a fresh voice and with your help, I hope to bring a new view into the council.
Victor Dominatto
Hello, my name is Victor Dominatto, and with a bit of your help I hope to be the Senior Representative for the class of 2016 next year. Not only am I an all season swimmer and member of the Sturgis soccer team, but I am an active member in Student Council and have been for the past three years. Within that time I have helped with planning and coordinating many of our events such as Spirit Week, Field Day, Homecoming, One Day One Goal, Sturgis United and even the little things like handing out donuts during break or hot chocolate in the Winter. Ever since my freshman year I have seen Student Council change and I understand many of its inner workings. We aren't fundraisers- we are fun-raisers. I know for sure that we get that part accomplished with each and every smile.
As I said before I am a swimmer and my team motto is to "Never Give in". As Senior Representative I plan to live by this motto making sure all the voices of our class are heard. So now I leave you with this. To my fellow SENIORS, I hope I can earn your vote on Thursday, June 11th. Let's end our high school journey with a big bang. If you vote me as Senior Representative, I will listen to your thoughts and suggestions for improvement, pass them on to the council, and help to make this coming year great! Thank you.
**Junior Representative will be Connor Holmes who ran in an uncontested race. Congrats to Connor!
Sophomore Representative Candidates:
Theo Calianos
I, Theo Calianos should be selected for Sophomore Representative because I think I can change this school for the better. I would help see if the sophomores can have an extra field trip or more classes outside. I would help out with new clubs too. The possibilities are endless if I am voted for Sophomore Representative.
Matthew Donahue
Hello, my name is Matthew Donahue, and I am running for Sophomore Rep. I believe that you should vote for me, as I have experience on my side, having been the Freshman Rep this year. This year, I attended all the meetings, was thoughtful and attentive, and contributed any ideas that I had. I will continue to give my time and efforts for our grade, and I will be sure to bring more helpful ideas to ensure next year will be the best that it can be. Thanks!
Jillian Doyle
I've always wanted to take on a leadership role at Sturgis, and being a class representative seems like a great place to start. I ran for representative last year, and although I did not get the candidate position, I gained something even greater. I had the opportunity to work with others in so many fun projects in Student Council. I am always happy to hear when there is another event coming up in the week. I'm grateful to earn a part in organizing and carrying out the plans and preparations. I've made so many friends in Student Council and I would love to work with them again next year as part of the Executive Council. I can't wait to share my ideas during the next few years to come.
In my freshman year alone, I have been an active member of Key Club, Animal Welfare, and Student Council, along with all of the events involved in each. In addition, I've also been on the varsity teams for field hockey in the fall, basketball in the winter, and now lacrosse in the spring. This proves that I have great time managing skills because I always set aside time for homework and studying for tests, and I've never gotten anything less than a high B on my report cards. If I can keep up my grades and busy lifestyle, then I can manage being a representative for my Sophomore class as well. It would be great to contribute my thoughts and ideas as part of the Executive Council. Even if I'm not successful, I'm a determined person and will be committed to helping the club persevere. I'm Jill Doyle, and I want to be your Sophomore Representative!

AT&T To Acquire Broadcast Provider DirecTV
Telecommunications giant AT&T and DirecTV announced Sunday that the two companies had reached a definitive agreement which would see AT&T acquiring the broadcast service provider.
AT&T is buying DirecTV for about $48.5 billion, reports The New York Times. But the Times reports that the deal, including debt, is valued at about $67 billion.
Under the terms of the deal, AT&T will pay about $95 a share in stock and cash. That's a roughly 10 percent premium to DirecTV's closing share price on Friday and about 30 percent higher than where the company's shares were trading before rumors of a deal began to emerge.
"This is a unique opportunity that will redefine the video entertainment industry and create a company able to offer new bundles and deliver content to consumers across multiple screens," said AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson in a statement.
The acquisition by AT&T will increase its ability to compete against Comcast and Time Warner Cable, which agreed to a merger in February. That deal is still being reviewed by regulators.

France mulls law to let strikers ransack offices
PARIS With its long vacations, short hours and myriad workers' rights, France has a reputation for being a hard place to do business. Now add this to the mix: A law working its way through parliament would grant amnesty to workers who have ransacked their company's offices or threatened their bosses during a labor dispute.
Tensions - and even confrontation - between unions and management have long been the norm in France. Strikes and protests have periodically paralyzed the country. The country saw a raft of "boss-nappings" in 2009 as companies tried to lay off staff during the first wave of the financial crisis. In 2010, workers opposed to raising the retirement age shut down refineries for weeks, choking transport around France.
The new bill, which was written by senators from the Communist and other far left parties, has sparked debate about whether the country, under the leadership of Socialist President Francois Hollande, is becoming more hostile to business.
"Business leaders who have been hearing about this ... whatever the size of their business, are dumbfounded," Laurence Parisot, the head of the country's largest business lobby, Medef, told Europe 1 radio after the Senate passed the bill in late February. In the next few weeks, the bill will be taken up by parliament's lower house, the National Assembly, where parties on the left have a substantial majority.
The amnesty would apply to people who caused property damage, issued threats or defamed management during a labor or housing dispute over the last six years, and were sentenced to five years in prison or less. Acts that caused physical harm to someone else would not be covered. It's unclear how many people would benefit, but French media reported it could be as few as several dozen.
Nonetheless, it sends a worrying signal. As France's neighbors try to get people back to work by enacting deep reforms to make their labor markets more competitive, some economists warn that Europe's second-largest economy risks getting left behind.
Spain and Italy have already made their labor markets more flexible and cut through excessive regulation to kick start their economies and recover from Europe's financial crisis.
The fear is that as they start to reap the benefits of their reforms, Spain and Italy could attract business away from France. And France can't afford to lose any business: The unemployment rate is already 10.6 percent and the country is on the brink of falling back into recession, having contracted 0.3 percent in the final quarter of 2012.
There are near-daily reminders of how difficult relations between labor and management are in France as company after company announces layoffs and unions vow to block them at any cost.
Last week, there were violent clashes in northern France as Goodyear tire workers demonstrated against their plant's closure by burning tires, setting off firecrackers and fighting with riot police. At one point, a protester grabbed a policeman's shield out of his hands, while another set upon the officer, punching him in the head.
Police say several officers were injured, including one seriously. Interior Minister Manuel Valls has promised that charges will be brought against those responsible.
But CGT union representative Mickael Wamen, who noted six protesters were also injured, was defiant.
"I will never condemn the workers, I condemn the management of Goodyear," he told RTL radio. "If there's a confrontation between Goodyear and the security forces, there is only one person responsible: That's first of all the employer, Goodyear, which wants to close our factory, and then the government that pretends to be on the left."
And it wasn't only union members defending the Goodyear protesters. Some politicians said the anger was understandable and pointed to it as a justification for the amnesty.

The "New Normal" Upside Market Catalyst - Fed Doves Emitting Hope
When that canned remarks by Fed Doves is all that is left as a hope-based upside "risk catalyst", as was just defined by Citi's Steven Englander, things are really sad for those who have to justify their excess testosterone by trading every uptick (Econ Ph.D. dissertation on the topic most certainly in progress).
From the head of Citi FX:
SF Fed's Williams – today's hope for FX risk-on
The SF Fed's John Williams speaks today at 11:55 (followed by Q+A). He is probably best characterized as a moderate dove, but is much closer to the FOMC center than either Rosengren or Evans who spoke earlier in Asia, and his views have been more responsive to economic conditions than either the extreme hawks or doves
Recently he has discussed the economic outlook and monetary policy in a speech early each month. In early May he was quoted as indicating that he was "increasingly hopeful that the recovery has entered a phase of self-sustaining growth". In his June speech on the economy in early June (after the May payroll numbers were released) he took a more cautious tone: "If the outlook for growth worsens to the point that we no longer expect to make sustained progress on bringing the unemployment rate down to levels consistent with our dual mandate, or if the medium-term outlook for inflation falls significantly below our 2 percent target, then additional monetary accommodation would be warranted. In such circumstances, an effective tool would be further purchases of longer-maturity securities, potentially including agency mortgage-backed securities."
Significantly in that speech he downplayed the May jobs number, focusing on the 12-month average being above 150k. With the June release, NFP growth has averaged 148k over the last 12-months and private NFP has been up an average of 162k. How he now characterizes the labor market and whether he indicates a need for more response will be the signal investors will look for.
Part of the reason for the Friday FX response to payrolls is the concern that the Fed is on hold till after the election on anything but extreme indications of economic weakness – and 80k jobs does not quality as extreme weakness. Were Williams to re-emphasize his view that the numbers are soft but still in line with a moderate recovery, we could see a further sell-off in FX risk. By contrast, if he signals that three months of weak data represent a shift in trend that the Fed to which the Fed ought to respond, the speculation on additional measures would mount again.
Remember when stuff like EBITDA, FCF, PEG, Leverage, Coverage and macro mattered? Neither do we.
- advertisements -
what's EBITDA?... /sarc
something they mention in b-school, as a way to imply "value" and provide cover for fraud and manipulation
I thought the Greenpsan purse watch was pathetically bad, but we have now come to the point where we are no better than the guy who would collect the emporer's stool and smell it as a way of prognosticating our future.
And I will be even less likely to purchase a house if the Fed further manipulates mortgage/interest rates even lower because, at some point, when they stop or even reduce the manipulation, house prices will fall again as rates/spreads increase leaving the average Joe as patsy once again if he buys now. It's already a fake market for rates.
What ever happened to letting markets clear? It worked so well for so long.
I presume you are referring to pre-1913, because there hasn't been a fucking "market" since then. We did have a stable currency up until 1971, but we gave that away. We had somewhat reliable banking until the late 90's until Glass-Steagal was repealed.
Please, wake the fuck up.
Try to manipulate that "central bankers"
"Remember when stuff like EBITDA, FCF, PEG, Leverage, Coverage and macro mattered? Neither do we."
I've been wondering if it ever was.
That statement was the first LOL this morning, and is one of the reasons I read ZH so faithfully. Truth in Reporting!
I actually do remember being rather fond of PEG ratios - they used to seem to have some bearing on valuations.
imo too much fed watching rots the brain.
Is it not a safe assumption that these 'blowhards' will always emphasize a position of more easing EVEN IF it isn't on the table? We have seen time and again that rhetoric will inflate equities (even if for a brief period). The third mandate, after all, is a rising S&P...
Once again, the desperation is as thick as peanut butter!
The attempts to "save the baby" EACH AND EVERYTIME is as fake as a Lady Gag-Gag concert!
How stupidly obvious they are sending out rumors right as we start to tank.....
Drool, drool, I'll gladly pay you next week, for a hi(n)t of QE today. lol
things are really sad for those who have to justify their excess testosterone by trading every uptick (Econ Ph.D. dissertation on the topic most certainly in progress).
LMAO! Fantastic as always. I suppose these less-intelligent, blog spewing S.O.B's, incapable of using a search function, need ZH to draw them a schematic...
Roasted dove...
...I hear it is delicious. Perhaps it is time to try some. Nothing short of a revolution "fixes" anything at this point.
I love the coo coo sounds coming from the Fed doves.
But those damn birds shit all over the place.
The credibility of these shills for fraud against the US constitution is eroding. A new amendment banning fiat would be in order once this mess goes full retard.
They are too late to save the economy. But they can still save the stock market.
Taste the rainbow!
im so sick of these criminals destroying this country im gonna puke
The Fed Reserve has become a pump and dump.
Anybody buying the dip?
You go first. I'm right behind you.
I promise.
what dip ... you call this a dip?
Recovery? BS Meter bounces into the Red Alert Zone each time one of Goebbel's minions uses the word "recovery"
The Fed feeds the Fed (and banksters)...crumbs for all others, maybe!
Buy physical gold and silver.
Of course stimulus works! Just look at Japan....
There are only two reasons the FED's games keep the market afloat.
1)Ignorance. Some fools actually think it will work.
2)Greed.Traders today are money worshiping willing dupes of the FED.
Neither of these reasons has any legs, and one minor shock will be all it'll take to start the run for the doors.

Oklahoma State gains basketball committment
Cowboys gain hoops commitOSU picked up its fourth men's basketball commitment recently, with junior college wing man J.P. Olukemi giving his pledge to the Cowboys. Olukemi, a 6-foot-7 forward from Vincennes Community College in Indiana, projects as one of the top junior-college recruits in the country by Scout.com. "Great body and good at attacking the basket," Vincennes assistant Brian Davis said of Olukemi in an interview with Scout.com. "He could replace James Anderson if he leaves early for the NBA." South Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Providence are others believed to have interest in the former California prep standout. Olukemi plans to sit out this season and enroll at OSU in January, giving him three years of eligibility. He averaged 14.9 points and four rebounds at Vincennes last season. By John Helsley

Back-to-school: How decision management can help retailers grab their share of this big buck shopping season
Joanne Macdonald 060000M7FB email@example.com | | Tags:  nrf business-rule business-process-manageme... decision-management -pricing bpm business-process-improvem... retail
0 Comments | 2,458 Visits
According to an NRF study on back-to-school sales conducted by BIGresearch, families with children K-12 will spend an average of $603 on apparel, school supplies and electronics. When combined, K-12 and college spending will reach $68.8 billion. Retailers realize that here's a lot at stake in the second most lucrative shopping season of the year.
For some time retailers have known that they need to do more than lower costs to meet the needs of the more informed, ever mobile consumer – from improving efficiencies to managing the data required to make smart decisions and take quick actions to meet the demands of back-to-school shoppers who this year are placing high priority on value.
Leading market research company the NPD Group recently investigated annual back-to-school spending intentions noting that this year consumers remain cautious about their spending with 82% of those surveyed pointing to "value" as the primary factor driving their back-to-school purchase decisions. For parents, seeking a combination of price, quality and name brands they trust is key. Retailers need to deliver the right product at the right time and location and now more than ever – and at the right price in order to make the sale.
With business rules-led decision making, retailers can enable dynamic pricing initiatives that allow them to easily adjust pricing to align with the numerous variables at play across their organization enabling them to:
· streamline the management of large lists of pricing rules
· govern pricing version control
· enhance testing of pricing rules to determine "next best offer" scenarios to optimize business performance
· ensure consistency in pricing across multiple agreements, channels and offers
· effectively combine product pricing with other offers such as shipping, promotions or loyalty.
How dynamic pricing makes retailers
and shoppers happy
By implementing rules-based decision making, retailers will be better equipped to provide the products and brands that students want at the prices parents are willing to pay in their search for value. In doing so, retailers can capture their share of the billions of dollars in back-to-school spending, provide the value that price conscious parents are demanding, while getting greater visibility into the information needed to further refine pricing strategies and promotional programs for the looming winter holiday shopping season.
If you want to learn more about the significance of decision management and business process management to retailers including customer examples of how several large retailers are addressing specific opportunities and pains, you might find this white paper valuable.

Proof that nuking the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a terrible idea
Remember when our Julia Ioffe picked up the Russian media that was suggesting that America might want to take a page from the Soviet Union's history books and nuke the site of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico to cut off the oil spill once and for all?
That was some fun Internet times. But back in reality, we have some indications that it is actually a terrible idea. In 1969, as part of its program of 'peaceful nuclear explosions', the government exploded a large nuclear bomb 8,000 feet below a mountain near Parachute, Colorado. They were trying to liberate natural gas, but all they ended up doing was irradiating it. And now oil companies want to try drilling again, and locals are not happy according to Catherine Tsai at the AP:
Four decades later, energy companies are drilling near the nuclear site as they look to tap Colorado's lucrative oil and gas reserves. Some local residents say they don't trust the industry after what happened here and in the Gulf of Mexico during the oil spill. They're fearful that accidents could pollute the air with radioactive gas if drilling gets much closer.
"I'm not 100 percent sure that the gas industry or the oil industry is careful enough, or has enough plans in place, that if something happens like the oil spill that I would be safe," said Parachute Town Trustee Judith Hayward, who owns half the mineral rights in a 40-acre no-drill zone at the site of the nuclear experiment.
Locals are also quick to mock the idea floated during the Gulf oil spill to close the breached well with a nuclear bomb. Engineers tried a nuke in the course of energy exploration here, and it didn't turn out as expected.
Funny: the Soviets used nukes to close off oil and gas leaks, we used nukes to secure oil and gas supplies. Communism vs. capitalism defined!
(Nevermind, I'm sure the Soviets used nukes for oil and gas exploration, too. Then again, the Soviets used nukes when they had trouble uncorking a bottle of vodka…)
More seriously, it's worth considering that no mind was ever paid to environmental issues by the Soviet Union. The natural world they controlled was meant only to serve the Soviet people (or its military). That's how they dried up entire lakes and created such gnarly genetic disorders for some of their people. We made our own tries at it, but we backed off when we realized the danger it exposed our natural environment to (sadly, this also meant we outsourced a lot of our nuke testing to the South Pacific).
Anyways, it seems to me that any idea that makes us more like the Soviet Union, well, those ideas aren't really good ones, are they? And this article only goes to prove the point. Officials say that a disaster of the type imagined by locals is unlikely. That's what they said about the Deepwater Horizon going down, too.
