Patrick Willis, Navorro Bowman, Luke Kuechly, Jerod Mayo and Derrick Johnson were named as the top-five rated Middle Linebackers in the upcoming "Madden NFL 15" video game, Electronic Arts revealed on their official site yesterday.
The 49ers' Willis and Bowman both the share top ranking with a 96 rating. Last season, Bowman led the 49ers with 145 tackles and added five sacks, two interceptions and a TD. Willis' stats were certainly comparable, with 104 tackles and three sacks in spite of missing two games.
The Carolina Panthers' Kuechly, the 2012 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and 2013 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year rounds out the top three with a 94 rating after a marvelous 2013 season where he registered 156 total tackles and four interceptions.
New England's Mayo and the Chiefs' Johnson fill out the number four and five spots with 91 ratings.
Football fans may wonder why two San Francisco MLBs were ranked #1 and #2 in the game. According to EA Sports, the decision was an easy one.
"We have both 49ers starting MLB's tied for the best in 'Madden NFL 15,'" EA said on their official site yesterday. "Bowman's not quite as physically talented as Willis, but he might be the better technician with 98 PUR, 95 BLK SHD (best among all MLB's), 83 Power Moves, and 99 TAK (tied with Kuechly for best in NFL at MLB)."
"Madden 15" is set for an August 26 release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One home gaming consoles.
Do you agree with the EA Sports ratings? Which Middle Linebacker do you think should have been on the list instead? Sound off in the comment section below.

A five-run fifth erased a 3-2 lead as the Braves handed the Nats a 9-5 loss at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando.
The loss was the second in four games and was delayed by rain for nearly an hour. Ross Detwiler made his first start of the spring but was charged with two runs on five hits over two and 2/3rds innings. He walked none and struck out two.
Unlike last night, a trio of Nats regulars made the trip to the Atlanta spring training digs at Walt Disney World® Resort. However, as expected, they were soon replaced after three PAs. Here's a rundown of how the minor-leaguers fared at the plate:
• Eury Perez went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts as the starting CF
• Michael Taylor went 0-for-2 off as Perez's replacement
• Steve Lombardozzi replaced Danny Espinosa at 2B but went 0-for-2
• Corey Brown came off the bench and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout as the replacement RF
• Matt Skole took a shift at 1B but went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts
• Zach Walters spelled Ian Desmond at SS, going 0-for-1
• Chris Marrero was the DH for the entire game, going 1-for-3 with a walk
• Carlos Rivero started in RF but went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts
• Destin Hood replaced Bryce Harper in LF and went 0-for-1 with a strikeout
• Anthony Rendon played the whole game at 3B and went 2-for-4 with an RBI
• Jhonatan Solano got the stert behind the plate and went 0-for-3
• Sandy Leon was Solano's replacement, collecting an RBI double in his sole PA
Ryan Perry was the victim of the Braves big inning, as the reliever-turned-starter was charged with five runs on six hits, including a home run over just an inning and two-thirds. He walked two and struck out just one.
Brandon Mann made his first appearance of the spring, letting in the fourth and fifth runs for Perry, while walking two and striking out one. Bill Bray's second appearance wasn't any better than the first, as the southpaw gave up a pair of doubles in the 6th.
Jeremy Accardo and Cole Kimball pitched the 7th and 8th innings respectively, with Accardo giving up an unearned run on two hits and Kimball throwing a 1-2-3 final frame.
The Nationals return to Space Coast Stadium tomorrrow for a 1 p.m. matchup against the Miami Marlins. The game will be broadcast locally on 1580 AM.

I was wondering when they begin solidifying the minor league teams. I assume it won't be for another month, but can't remember.
Kimball sure seems to be getting the job done this spring. Syracuse might have a darn good pen this year.
Gotta love Rendon. He looks ready now, at least compared to many others.
Not too impressed with Perry. His stats at AA last year looked good but definitely dropped off as the year progressed. He was not particularly good in Arizonia and he's not doing well this spring. Any comments on why he has not been effective, because he, at least, has the velocity.

Berry Pavolova
1 cup superfine granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 large egg whites, room temperature
3 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
Cream of tarter
6 large egg yolks, room temperature
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons total)
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 cups mixed berries
Whisk egg whites and cream of tarter until frothy. Add sugar and lemon juice. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Place in zip-top baggie and cut off end to create about a 1/2-inch opening.
Line an unrimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Squeeze baggie to push out meringue; pipe into 5-inch circles, starting from the outside with two swirls and then work in to one swirl (to create a slight edge on the outside).
You will get about 6 circles.
Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes; then reduce heat to lowest temperature (about 175 degrees on most ovens) and bake another 2 hours. Turn oven off and leave until oven is cool (usually overnight).
Whisk egg yolks, lemon zest and juice, and sugar in a heavy, medium saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until mixture registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in salt. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, stirring after each addition until smooth. Pour curd through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface so a skin doesn't form. Refrigerate until cold and set, at least 1 hour or overnight.
Spoon lemon curd into meringue and mound berries on top. Serve with whipped cream on the side.

The Andaman Islands are one the latest locations to be suggested as a possible route for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. CNN reports on March 14 that an analysis of the radar information reveals the plane may have taken a route that would let it fly over these remote islands. It is one of the many possibilities that are being suggested as the search for the plane continues.
The Andaman Islands belong to India and have a sparse population that stretches over more than 500 islands. There are several indigenous tribes, so some parts are restricted to foreign visitors to preserve their culture. There is an airport, the Veer Savarkar International Airport, capable of accommodating a plane the size of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. However, sources claim it would be difficult for the plane to land without being detected by India's military in the area.
The remote islands are just one of the many possibilities being suggested by officials as they continue to explore what happened to the missing Boeing 777. Other theories include the suggestion that the plane has crashed or was the victim of an onboard terrorist attack. Another popular theory suggests that the plane was deliberately taken off course and hijacked, so it could be flown to a different destination. The investigation into the missing plane will continue with a renewed focus on the Andaman Islands, and India has agreed to help Malaysia by joining the search efforts.

A cold front has moved through the Clarksville area last night and although it did not bring any rain to the region, it has dropped the humidity levels once again. Temperatures today will be slightly cooler with highs in the middle eighties under partly to mostly sunny skies. These conditions will last through the day tomorrow as a ridge of high pressure moves over the region with comfortable temperatures remaining in the middle eighties. This area of higher pressure will move to the east on Friday and will allow temperatures to warm into the lower nineties and the humidity levels to once again increase. Clouds will be on the increase for the day Friday with the risk for precipitation retuning on Saturday. This precipitation is associated with another system that will stall over the region for the weekend and upcoming workweek. This will cause isolated showers and thunderstorms to develop each day of the weekend and into the beginning of the upcoming workweek. This boundary will be the difference between temperatures in the eighties and temperatures in the nineties, thus as the front fluctuates over the area, the temperatures will fluctuate as well between the eighties and nineties with the risk of precipitation continuing.
Here is the Clarksville area forecast:
Wednesday: A mix of sun and clouds. High: 86
Wednesday night: Partly cloudy. Low: 62
Thursday: Mostly sunny. High: 87
Thursday night: Mostly clear. Low: 63
Friday: Increasing clouds. High: Lower 90s Low: Upper 60s
Saturday: Partly cloudy with a slight risk for a shower or thunderstorm. High: Lower 90s Low: Lower 70s

A WINTER VISIT TO THE WEYERHAUSER RHODODENDRON SPECIES BOTANICAL GARDENJanuary 18, 2014: "There was something profound about the light today, the tint of it, warm and yet cool, a haze that seemed as if it might be practicing to become fog, someday, but was perhaps still not quite up to the task."
Today's visit to the Weyerhauser Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden moved me a long, long way toward recovery from that strange, lingering malaise I've felt toward rhodies after decades of witnessing their torture and abuse, via those tens of thousands of spindly, garish-flowered, root-weevil-infested, mass produced, Home Depot-looking specimens I've driven past, each demeaningly planted right next to the bare concrete foundations of thousands of pastel-painted, cedar-sided, seventies-vintage, split-entry homes and bungalows in Northwest suburbia. There, I've said it.
"Ohh, thank you, thank you," I whisper, "you wonderful garden creators, you amazing plant collectors and you painstaking gardeners who have each labored so carefully to create and maintain this wonderful botanic sanctuary! Visiting your garden is like being invited to bite into a dozen, no hundreds of different hued and shaped, delicious, amazing, old school, classic apples after years of mealy, flavorless, zombie-like, red delicious."
What a wonder! What a humbling, quieting experience to walk through this botanical masterpiece, painted with more than 700 species of rhododendrons from all over the world, to see them clustered together and mingled with myriad other woodland plants upon a forested canvas, especially here in the chill and oft-rainy Northwest, in mid-January. What treasure to share this space with a large, confident, thick winter-coated coyote (Thank you Mary for making sure I didn't miss him silently crossing that dew-laden meadow), and with those expansive, fragrant, backlit witch hazel trees (see the yellow one in the photo below?), in full pungent bloom, and practically no one else in the entire 22 acre preserve. Every one of my awed senses swirled and sighed in grateful overload.
The air was hazy and cold, but the low-angled sun found ways to weave its cheering rays between the tree trunks and to pierce the winter-lush vegetation, warming pools of pungent, forest air and warming our faces, as well whenever we stepped into one of them. I surrendered, quite happily, dozens of appreciative gasps and muffled chuckles of recognition and delight, and I also discovered a new plant crush. Rhododendron arboreum ssp. cinnamomeum (below). Who knew?
I suppose it could have been the combination of that romantic light and the chill of the thick, witch-hazel-pregnant air. Or maybe it was something they put in the water fountain, but I'm telling you, Rhododendron arboreum ssp. cinnamomeum shot an arrow deep into my awareness today, looking like a million bucks with those long, elegant, jewel-toned leaves and their mysterious, dark, matte, cinnamon undersides, all strangely aglow. Va va Voom! And hooray for January, when we're not so blinded by the beauties of lush rhododendron blooms and other flowers that we can concentrate on their exquisite, if much quieter foliage!
For those of you who've never been, or if you just haven't been lately, I highly recommend this botanic wonderland of gravelled paths and earthy smells to help realign what you think you know and feel about rhododendrons, and maybe, just maybe flush some of those scraggly, sick-rhodie visions from your own tortured consciousness, as well. The eight dollar admission fee seems a worthy investment in oneself, even in January, especially when you consider the costs of developing and maintaining such a magnificent, world-class collection and keeping it open to the public, year round.
And as a total, extra super bonus, be sure to allow time to take in the wonders of the adjoining, Weyerhaeuser Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection which is mind bogglingly beautiful, wonderfully educational, and free.
Take the 320th Ave Exit off I-5 between Seattle and Tacoma, and follow the signs.

Disease Proof
Cavemen Ate Their Veggies...
Plant matter found in recently unearthed Neanderthal teeth confirms that our human ancestors ate their veggies. More from Sara Goudarzi of National Geographic News:
1. http://www.who.int/countries/ken/en/
The new hard evidence is microfossils of plant material that investigators found in the dental plaque of 35,000-year-old Neanderthal teeth, said lead study author Amanda Henry, a graduate student in hominid paleobiology at The George Washington University.Maybe if they ate more plants they would have stuck around longer because primitive people that mostly eat meat, don't live that long. Dr. Fuhrman explains:
"The formation of dental [plaque] traps the plant microfossils from food particles within the matrix of the plaque deposits, so the microfossils are protected and are a unique record of the plant foods put into the mouth," Henry said.
"So we can say with confidence that this individual Neanderthal ate plants," she added.
Similar statistics are available for the high meat-consuming Maasai in Kenya. They eat a diet high in wild hunted meats and have the worst life expectancy in the modern world. Life expectancy is 45 years for women and 42 years for men. African researchers report that, historically, Maasai rarely lived beyond age 60. Adult mortality figures on the Kenyan Maasai show that they have a 50% chance of dying before the age of 59.1But, populations who eat mostly plant foods live a lot longer. More from Dr. Fuhrman:
We now know that greatly increasing the consumption of vegetables, legumes, fruits, and raw nuts and seeds (and greatly decreasing the consumption of animal products) offers profound increased longevity potential, due in large part to broad symphony of life-extending phytochemical nutrients that a vegetable-based diet contains. By taking advantage of the year-round availability of high-quality plant foods, we have a unique opportunity to live both healthier and longer than ever before in human history.Maybe centuries from now when they dig up my bones, archeologists will say, "This guy must have eaten a nutrient-dense vegetable-based diet!"

- Price: $2,499.99

- Specs: 960x540; 576p; 16:9; Contrast ratio: 1,000,000:1; two HDMI inputs
- Company: Sony
It is always important to be ahead of the curve when it comes to technology, and this is even truer when talking about high-definition TVs. Sony has attempted to find that next big thing with the world's first Organic LED TV, aka OLED. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology is purported to improve contrast ratio, deliver more accurate color reproduction and offer up better viewing angles. Sony's TV does this all on a screen that is amazingly only three-millimeters deep. The cost-and-return discrepancy for this bleeding-edge product is expectedly way out of whack, but those are the perils of being an early adapter.
Before Sony's Organic LED TV is even turned on you will know there is nothing quite like it available today. The screen for this TV is an impossible three-millimeters thick, which can be jarring at first look. The super skinny display is attached to a base that essentially functions like the back of a thicker plasma or LCD. Any plugs are attached to this base, think DVD player size and shape, which leaves the sleek display wire-free. The OLED technology allows for the production of nearly perfect black levels and color saturation. When viewed behind the TV's glossy frame, the final picture is simply beautiful. It comes as a shock, then, that the Organic LED actually runs in a resolution that is less than a standard HD TV. The visual impact is just not going to match up with the home theater heavy hitters like Pioneer and Samsung plasma models.
Being such a new advancement in television technology, the Sony Organic LED TV comes with some first-generation developmental drawbacks. First and foremost, the TV is currently only available in a rather unpractical 11-inch diagonal size. At a cost of $2,500 you will need to think long and hard about how committed you are to needing this type of TV at this stage. Besides just saving space, this TV also saves energy. Sony claims that the Organic LED TV is 40% more efficient than other televisions under normal viewing circumstances. Sony's Organic LED TV consumes no power in the off state, while other units have an always on backlight. If cost and usage are taken out of the equation, you are most definitely getting an ultra-thin TV that is a joy to look at even when turned off, and when turned on, it really shows the promise of what may lay ahead for OLED TVs.

The 7th edition of Monday's Dark with Mark Shunock took place on Monday, May 19 inside Vinyl at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. All proceeds from ticket sales and a silent auction will go to the Neurofibromatosis Network. Six year old Emma Lebow, the daughter of Jersey Boys cast member Jeff Lebow, suffers from the neurological disorder known as neurofibromatosis and she was the inspiration for this charity event.
The event theme was "Boy Bands" featuring songs from N' Sync, The Jackson 5, The Temptations, Back Street Boys, Hanson, and the greatest boy band of all time, The Beatles. Among the performers lending their time and talent for the good cause were former American Idol finalist Jasmine Trias and her main squeeze, singer Ben Stone; the guys and gals of Jersey Boys; Rock of Ages original cast member Jason Oles; comedienne Shayma Tash; singer Anne Martinez of BBR; The Cast of Rock of Ages; MTV's Top Pop Group "Mo5aic"; Paul Johnson, lead singer of "Generation"; as well as the event's creator/emcee, and star of Rock of Ages, Mark Shunock.
Notable Las Vegas performers in attendance to show their support included comedy hypnotist Anthony Cools, singer Pia Zadora, Zowie Bowie's Chris Phillips and violinist Lydia Ansel, magician Mark Bennick, Jason and Janea Ebs of Jet Velocity, dancer/choreographer Jennifer Romas, and singer Tony Felicetta.
The theme for next month's June edition of Monday's Dark with Mark Shunock will be "Mama Rocks A Million Boys" which mixes the names of the four Broadway shows: Mama Mia, Rock of Ages, Million Dollar Quartet and Jerseys Boys, now playing in Las Vegas. As such, the event will pay homage to the Tonys and traditional Broadway cabaret. All proceeds from that event will go to the Rudy Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the support and recognition of those who aspire to fulfill their dreams through character, courage, contribution and commitment. Las Vegas residents Rudy Ruettiger, the inspiration for the blockbuster movie "RUDY" and his wife Cheryl, founded The Rudy Foundation in 1997.

Continental Gatorskin Tire - Clincher $54.95
The Continental Gatorskin Tires are a bit less costly than the ever-popular G.P. 4-Season. However, like the 4-Season, the Gatorskins are made for the insults of gritty winter riding. Comparatively, they're a bit slower, a bit heavier, but it's because they are unmatched for puncture-proofness. The secret to their durability on bad roads is twofold and is due to Continental's materials technology.
They use Duraskin anti-cut fabric to give the sidewalls extra protection against cuts. It's a polyamide (nylon) mesh that is bonded onto the sidewall plies. It acts like the ripstop material you'd find on ultralight jackets or tents. In the event that you do encounter a sharp object with potential to cut the sidewall, the Duraskin mesh will resist and most importantly limit the extent of the damage. The second line of defense is a puncture resistant layer under the tread called Poly X Breaker. It's a dense layer of tough nylon, designed to add serious protection. With the tread and sidewall bolstered against the hazards of the road, you'll worry less about grit and gravel on the edge of the road and more about enjoying your ride.
Continental Gatorskin Tires have Black tread with Black Duraskin sidewalls. They're available in 700 x 23c and 700 x 25c folding versions.

Great City Tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used these on my bar bike/fixie for years and have never had an issue. I think I have had one flat in 3 years (knock on wood)! I even rode a few blocks with very limited PSI and wore the sidewall down slightly but once I put a new tube in they were still smooth as silk.
Ride with confidence
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I recently decided to switch over to the gatorskins from the 4000s' and have save a ton of tubes since. Same great traction and compound with Black Chili, at a slight weight penalty. To me the flat resiliency is worth it.
The Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been using this tire on my front and the Gator Hardshell (http://www.backcountry.com/continental-gator-hardshell-road-tire) on the back of my bike for roughly 2 years now and it is the best combination for a single speed commuter set up. Easy to put on and they last. Great gear allows you the confidence to not have to think about it while using it. I never worry that these are going to fail on me and that makes for great rides.
Reliable tyres
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
First time user of Conti tyres. So far no hassle whatsoever. Body feels sturdy and realiable and they look like they were built to last.
Comes with all the technology you would expect from any high end tyre. They are foldable so you can stash them pretty easy.
Great commuting tire
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Reliable and great price point! Really holds up in a multitude of conditions!
Always a winner!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my go-to off season, commuter, rough road, etc tire and I have even put some hard racing miles on them. Great grip, low rolling resistance and most importantly outstanding puncture resistance. I have tried other similar options that offer flat protection, but have not had the same overall performance as with the Gators.
Throw anything at them
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Brilliant handling. Ridden through rain, snow, sand and dry tarmac. In all situations these tires gripped and hauled ass. Ran over a 5 inch bolt, no damage at all.
Seriously recommended for the cyclist who isn't racing, but likes to go fast.
Can't beat the price either. Best value.
My only training tire
The best for long miles
No more flats!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Its a great tire for flat protection and overall training. It was a long life and protected well against flats. Don't know if would really race in them but for the purpose for everyday training and riding you can't go wrong. I'm on my third pair and have nothing to complain about .
Website glitch w/ initial review
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I ride a 2013 S-Works Venge, currently run Roval CLX 60 & Fulcrum Zero wheels on post-apocalypse Texas roads. My second set of Continental tires - previously rode Hard Skins. I ride 60 - 150 miles per week, & have had NO issues with either of these two offerings from the Continental family (another testament to German engineering). Better yet - got last set from CC for $40 each - can't be beat!
Great all around tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my go to tires. I have been using gatorskins for 8 years, have always got well over 1,000 miles on them and rarely had flats. I am not a racer. I ride about 40 -100 miles per week in dry conditions ( I avoid rain if possible) on gently rolling roads to steep climbs with steep down hills and I love the grip these tires give me on tight downhill curves. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a solid tire that will give you miles and stability on the roads.
gnar bar test approval
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Gator skins are amazing tires, tough, long-lasting, and hand-made with care.
Perfect winter training tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought these for the hubs b/c Gatorskins have always been my go-to Winter tire, so they get 5 stars from me too. Here's his review:
This is my first time on 25mm tires after 12 years on 23mm. I honestly can't tell a difference. But that doesn't matter because these tires rock…and always will. Grippy, race-pace speed with puncture resistance and long life. What's not to love??!!
Added piece of mind....
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used Gatorskins in the past on a commuter bike and the tread was worn out before they had a puncture. I decided to try a set on my race bike after reaching the "0.99% flat rate" over the summer while running GP4000's. I love the 4k's, but especially going into fall and winter having to change a flat on the side of the road is a real bummer. So far, I'm impressed. I ride the same routes, over the same roads and have yet to experience any trauma.
While no tire is 100% puncture resistant....ok, no non-solid tire..., any added protection will help. As for the handling characteristics, They really do not feel too different than GP400's unlesss the road is really, really cold. If it's cold enough outside that you can feel the difference, just back off a notch on the cornering ; )
Great tires!
Extreme Durable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you are looking for a tire that last longer than a month and helps prevent flats, this is the tire you need. The Poly X breaker and the duraskin side wall combine to create the toughest tire out.
No More Flats
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
After getting flats on my rear tire on a regular basis (almost every time I rode), I decided it was time to switch to a tougher tire. The Gatorskin did the trick. I have put about a hundred miles on them since I got them and they show little wear overall. Definitely a burly and incredible tire that has helped me avoid having to fix many flats. Simply put, if you are sick of wasting time on your rides with blow outs, this tire is worth your while. For the price, it is completely worth the hundreds of unhindered miles you will be able to ride!
Great training/commuting tire
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've only put a couple hundred miles on my gator skins so far for training and commuting. The tire shows very little sign of use. It's definitely a durable tire for those long rides.
using for well over a year
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been using these tires for well over a year now. I was getting flats almost daily on some other michellen tires and switches to these gatorskins. I use them for everyday riding on sketchy roads and for races if the roads are looking a little beat.
Gatorskins are my go to
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I commute over 100 miles each week to work. Gatorskins are my go to for riding through San Francisco. If you need reliable tires then go with the Gatorskins.
Good Trainer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I put these on my single speed when my Krylions wore out and noticed a significant difference in speed, which kind of bummed me out. However, after I gave it some thought, I came to the conclusion that this is a good quality for training purposes. So far, they've been very durable and look pretty cool too. Although come race day, you might want to switch 'em out.

If you frequent Flying J fuel stops, which are located around the United States, you may be unpleasantly surprised to find that they will no longer be accepting Visa credit cards at their truck pumps as of May 25. The chain will still be accepting these cards at their convenience store and at their unleaded fuel pumps.
The reason for the decision was purely financial. Apparently, accepting Visa at their pumps was costing the company 5 cents per gallon in processing fees. According to Flying J representatives, the move was in an effort to save their customers money and were rejecting the rising prices of Visa cards.
Some think there are other reasons behind the change. Namely, Flying J has a number of fuel purchase cards, some of which are backed by MasterCard. In addition, the company has a fuel card that is similar to a bank card and, in a sense, is in competition with Visa. This fact may have much to do with the decision to cut Visa out of the equation.
Even if you take the company's claim at face value – that it made this move in an effort to save their customer's money – it certainly seems like a step backward. In an age when more and more people are putting away the paper cash and carrying only plastic, refusing to accept Visa seems like a bad decision for a major company. This is particularly true when it comes to filling up the gas tanks of truck drivers, which usually costs hundreds of dollars per fill up. Not too many drivers are going to carry that kind of cash around with them while hauling their goods. Perhaps the company should rethink this move before it is too late.

The recent headline in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, "Prestigious yacht race could generate millions for isles," also generated a huge amount of discussion among local sailors.
The article below the headline began by noting that, "… billionaire Larry Ellison, the owner of 98 percent of Lanai, has set his eyes on the islands to hold the 2017 America's Cup yacht race."
The paper quoted information from the San Francisco Chronicle, which reported that Ellison wants the next America's Cup to involve regattas all over the world "leading up to the Louis Vuitton Cup, and the main event, the America's Cup likely taking place in Honolulu."
The San Francisco Chronicle article also explained that the earlier regattas around the world would be sailed in less expensive AC45s (AC72s were sailed in the last America's Cup) and the division championships as well as the Louis Vuitton and America's Cup races would be contested in AC60s.
Both newspapers agreed that having the America's Cup in Hawaii could generate millions of dollars for the local economy, however the Star-Advertiser also pointed out in a quote from Jerry Agrusa, professor of hospitality and tourism management at Hawaii Pacific University, that it is unclear how much taxpayers would have to pay if the state needs to upgrade its harbors or build pavilions or stands for spectators near the ocean.
As most local sailors would agree, Oahu - and the state in general - currently hasn't the infrastructure to accommodate AC60-type boats, so the question becomes, should the taxpayers pick up the tab for costly dockside improvements for boats that will be here for just a matter of months, or might Ellison agree to pay that expense?
When San Francisco hosted the America's Cup last year, it was somewhat disappointed, after considerable spending on new infrastructure, to find that the income it received was considerably less than expected.

The European Commission has suspended its carbon emissions laws on flights taking off or landing from EU member states.
The move follows a decision by the International Civil Aviation Organization last week to consider a global market-based mechanism — such as carbon trading — to encourage airlines to cut their emissions.
Although the ICAO has not yet decided to implement such a system, EU Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard called the the ICAO's movement toward a worldwide market-based mechanism "very good news," and "progress" toward an international regulation on aviation emissions.
She said the European Union will "stop the clock" for a year on aviation's inclusion within the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme until after the ICAO General Assembly next fall. The EU regulations required airlines to limit carbon emissions or buy permits to make up the shortfall, and applied to all flights within, to and from the EU.
The Commission has also suspended aviation's carbon monitoring and reporting obligations until 2013, when the Assembly meets.
However, Hedegaard warned that if the ICAO Assembly does not move forward with emissions regulations, then the EU carbon penalties on flights will resume in 2013.

ACTA Still Referred to European Court of Justice
All the signs are that ACTA is dead. The European Commissioner for the Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes admitted as much, as we reported recently.
So why is European Commission referring ACTA to the European Court of Justice?
Kroes… is not the commissioner in charge of handling what is nominally a trade agreement.
In a statement… the spokesman of trade commissioner Karel De Gucht said the referral had gone ahead, asking the ECJ: "Is the envisaged Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) compatible with the treaties and in particular with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union?"
The trade commission spokesman John Clancy added:
"Let us reiterate our firm position that we call on the European Parliament to await this Court opinion before deciding on ACTA."
MEPs have already decided that the vote on ACTA ratification will go ahead next month without waiting for the court's opinion.

Another day, another starlet making sex face in a lad mag, another outraged missive from the Parent's Television Council. The only new thing in this latest round is that the PTC isn't entirely wrong.
(Although they would look less like a bunch of tools if they didn't send their spokesperson out to say things like "Essentially what they are doing is fetishizing high school girls," as though GQ just now invented the idea. Would that it were so.)
Yes, of course pictures of high school aged characters spreading their legs, sucking a lollipop, and making porn face at the camera is gross, and no amount of pouting about how the actresses are in their twenties changes that. More to the point, of course the whole naughty school girl thing is about enabling and normalizing pedophilia (in the cultural sense, so anyone who just had the urge to jump up and be all "but but but puberty" this and "OMG ephebophilia" that can just sit right back down again. Give it a rest already, creeps and creep apologists.) Anybody who says that pictures like those of the Glee cast aren't intended to get a rise out of GQ readers who'd love nothing more than to molest a high school freshman is being disingenuous at best.
But! It's hard to get too excited about that, because this is the most boring, unimaginative, uninspired photo spread since the last fifty spreads just like it were published last month. It seems to be aiming for the "child porn from the seventies" aesthetic that's served American Apparel so well lately, but it can't even hit that limbo-low creativity mark. Seriously: clothed male versus (near) naked female? Check. Knee socks plus lollipop equals boner motif? Check. Reduction of talented women to stock sex objects? Please. Well, I guess according to GQ readers and editors Dianna Agron and Lea Michele have no acting or singing ability, so they need to be in their underpants to be relevant.
(Also! It's completely understandable why well-known super-skeeve Terry Richardson is still allowed access to vulnerable young targets: He brings such a fresh and unique perspective to the world of photography!)
So yes, the PTC is right about a lot of this. But it isn't this one particular spread in this one particular issue of this one particular lad mag that's the problem. It's the fact that every single teen girl has to be "sexy" to access a career (see: Cyrus, Miley for the latest case). It's the fact that any talented young woman has to appear pose in her underwear (or less) for grody old men if she wants further acting roles. It's the fact that "sexy" and "provocative" are considered the same thing and neither has seen a new idea since at least the middle of the last century.
Maybe the PTC should be less "what about the children" when it comes to stuff like this, and more "Why do main stream magazines like GQ assume their readers tend to be boring, unimaginative creeps?" Also, what Go Fug Yourself said.

Study Finds These 3 Essential Oils More Effective at Bacteria Inhibition than Mainstream Disinfectants
by CASE ADAMS
As the battle against superbugs like MRSA and other hospital-acquired infections rages on, researchers have determined that oils derived from plants outperform the antiseptic chlorhexidine and even ethanol in the inhibition of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
The researchers – from Australia's Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital – tested a number of extracts derived from plants, including Tea Tree oil, Lemongrass oil, and Eucalyptus oil – against several of the most deadly antibiotic-resistant superbugs. These included Klebsiella pneumoniae, MRSA – methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, VRE – vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and ESBL-producing Escherichia coli. The testing was carried out in a laboratory.
The researchers also tested the same bacteria strains against the two most popular antiseptic products used to disinfect hands, hospital equipment and bedsides – chlorhexidine and ethanol, commonly termed rubbing alcohol. The concentration of these were standard issue – 0.1% chlorhexidine and 70% ethanol. The researchers also tested olive oil – as olive oil is also used in some settings to repel bacteria.
The researchers measured what is referred to as the zone of inhibition. This is the distance to which a substance will repel the bacteria – preventing microbiological activity. A larger zone of inhibition relates to a stronger antiseptic/antibiotic agent.
The researchers found that the three most active plant oils – Lemongrass, Eucalyptus and Tea tree – had significantly large zones of inhibition. These were significantly greater than those resulting from the application of the 0.1% chlorhexidine and 70% ethanol, as well as the olive oil.
In fact, the 0.1% chlorhexidine and 70% ethanol showed "notably lower or no efficacy in regard to growth inhibition of strains" according to the researchers.
In particular, the research found that Lemongrass oil significantly inhibited gram-positive bacteria while Tea Tree significantly inhibited gram-negative bacteria.
Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are all gram-negative bacteria while Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacterium.
The researchers wrote in their conclusion:
"As proven in vitro, plant-derived antiseptic oils may represent a promising and affordable topical agent to support surgical treatment against multi-resistant and hospital-acquired infections."
Tea Tree oil – an Ancient Aboriginal Treatment
Tea Tree oil has been used for centuries by Aboriginal peoples of Australia – primarily in the New South Wales and Queensland regions where the Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is indigenous. The oil was used as a topical antiseptic for a variety of wounds and skin issues. Samoan and Maori indigenous peoples also used Tea tree from other Melaleuca species for its antiseptic properties.
Tea tree oil is typically made through steam distillation of the Melaleuca's potent leaves.
Numerous studies have shown that Tea tree oil is significantly antibiotic and antifungal. Other research has found it useful against MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Studies have found it removes MRSA infections from the nasal region – matching the effectiveness of mupirocin nasal ointment treatment.
Other research has found Tea tree is effective against toenail fungus (onychomycosis), athletes feet (tinea pedis), external/oral candidiasis and dandruff – instigated by the overgrowth of Malassezia yeast species.

WILLIAMS v. GEHEOGAN
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
WILLIAMS v. GEHEOGAN, 1 U.S. 267 (1788)
1 U.S. 267 (Dall.)
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
April Term, 1788
Moylan, in showing cause against a rule for a Special Court, at the instance of the Plaintiff, contended, first, that Williams was not within the description of the persons for whom the act provides a summary relief; and, secondly, that the difficulty of obtaining the Defendant's testimony at a short notice, was a sufficient reason to induce the Court to discharge the rule.
On the first point, it was stated, that Williams was not in America at the time when the debt was contracted, for which this action was brought; but that he came hither merely to collect the debts of a house, in which he had formerly been a partner; that, therefore, he could not claim the benefit of the act, which, it was urged, extended only to foreigners, who came to this country in the way of trade, who resided here while their merchandize was sold, and who were not punctually paid at the expiration of the credit which they gave. 3 St. Laws. 31. Lewis v. Turner in the Common Pleas of Philadelphia, was cited. The Plaintiff in that case was a resident of New York, and came to Philadelphia merely to sue, and recover from the Defendant. The Court determined that he was not entitled to a Special Court; and Shippen, President, said, that a citizen of the United States was not a foreigner in Pennsylvania.
On the second point, it was observed, that the Defendant being sued as super-cargo, it would be incumbent on him to state all the accounts of the vessel in question; that he was at this time in Charleston, South Carolina, having in his possession all the documents and vouchers necessary to his defence; that he had always expressed a determination to attend the trial of the cause, and that his absence
could not be long protracted, as the special bail had sent a bail-piece and power of attorney to take the Defendant, and surrender him in this Court.
Goulthurst, for the Plaintiff, said, that the debt was contracted in Philadelphia, and was there due and payable from the Defendant to the Plaintiff; that Williams came hither to pay the debts of the company, as well as to collect their credits; that he was a foreigner, in the strongest meaning of the word, and, consequently, could not be affected by the case of Lewis v. Turner, which was decided on the ground of the party's being a citizen.
With respect to the accounts, he endeavoured to show, from the cause of action, that they could not be material to the defence on this occasion; and contended, that the Defendant's absence was no reason to defeat the Plaintiff's claim to the benefit of the act.
M'Kean, Chief Justice.
The act seems to be intended for the benefit of every man, whether an inhabitant, or a foreigner, who is about to leave the State; and the Plaintiff is clearly within the description of persons entitled to a Special Court. But, we think, for the second reason which has been urged by the Defendant's counsel, that it would be doing manifest injustice to hurry the trial on at this time: Therefore,
By the Court: Let the rule be discharged.

I met the then-president of the Chargers, Sam Minter, at a party. He told me all about the Chargers, their ethos, disposition and aspirations, and encouraged me to come along to their Rugby 101 recruitment day.
I had never played a ball sport before, let alone rugby union, but I was intrigued by what Sam had told me the Chargers stood for: inclusion. It was a little scary, I'm not going to lie, to train alongside some very robust men in a sport I knew nothing about, but everyone was very encouraging and took time to make sure I knew what was going on.
Unfortunately, I ended up moving further out of the city which made getting to training hard, but the Chargers, in particular the club captain, Ryan Naylor, never stopped encouraging me to come back. The next year when I was in a better situation, I did return.
Nobody made me feel bad for going away or coming back, nor for my slight build and lack of rugby knowledge. They did nothing but make me feel welcomed and gave me the help and support I needed to become a better rugby player. I even gained a gym buddy from the team to help me better prepare my body for rugby.
The Melbourne Chargers are a great bunch of people and even though rugby is hard, sometimes brutal (I have the scars to prove it), I am willing to put my body on the line for them each week. I have made some fantastic new friends within the team and even a new best friend. I recommend everyone come down and train with us, or just come and watch one of our games. You won't be disappointed by the people you will meet.

Rainy days often spoil outdoor plans and make you feel sad and blue. Instead of being sad and depressed about the rain, rejoice in the rain and celebrate the day with these rainy day activities.
Kids know the key to living in the moment is to go with the flow. Parents.com offers lots of indoor activities to enjoy when it's raining outdoors. Here are 10 ways to enjoy a rainy day with your kids.
Stay home and enjoy a family fun day. If your day was supposed to include outdoor activities, plan a family fun day instead at home. Let each child choose a favorite activity that everyone can do together.
Put on your boots and play and dance in the rain. Kids love playing in the rain, especially stomping in puddles. Adults often forget how much fun it can be to play and dance in the rain.
Watch your favorite movie. While the rain is coming down outside, get cozy, pop some popcorn and put your favorite movie on the DVD player. You can also download to your computer.
Bake cookies, brownies or bread. Baking is a favorite rainy day activity in many families. Bake a fresh loaf of bread, cookies or brownies. The fresh-baked smell will bring a smile to your face.
Organize a room or closet. For people who like being productive, there's no joy like organizing a room or cleaning out a closet. You'll feel a sense of accomplishment too.
Curl up with a book and a blanket. If it's really cold outside, light a fire or gas logs. Make it a group activity if you have kids or grand kids by reading books together.
Plan an indoor picnic with your family. Make your favorite picnic foods, spread a blanket in the living room or den and enjoy the time together.
Play a hand of cards or a board game with your kids. Rainy days are perfect for playing Monopoly, Chess or a hand of Crazy Eights or Go Fish.
Listen to your favorite music together. Turn on a music channel, listen to your iPod or turn on the radio and listen to your favorite station. Let everyone take a turn choosing the music.
Try out a new restaurant for lunch or dinner. There are always new places opening so turn a rainy day into a sunny day by visiting a new place to eat.
Don't let the rain get you down. Put on your happy face, dance in the rain, be joyful that you're here to see another day. The outdoor activities will wait for another day.

AMD introduces more Radeon GPUs
I'm a GPU, how do you do?
AMD HAS ANNOUNCED a new series of ATI Radeon HD 5700 GPUs.
The Juniper XT/LE series Radeon HD 5770 and 5750 will be in the shops in October and the R800 5870 X2 will follow in November.
These will follow the launch of ATI Radeon HD 5850 and 5870 GPUs on 22nd September, according to Digitimes.
AMD has 40nm Cypress GPUs in its high end offerings. The Juniper LE Radeon HD 5750 is codenamed Corvette and the Juniper XT Radeon HD 5770 is codenamed Countach.
Both are loaded with 1GB GDDR5 video memory and a 128-bit memory interface and will possess most features of Cypress cards including the 40nm GPU and multi-monitor Eyefinity technology. The release of these GPUs does mean that the ATI Stream UVD 2.0 technology could become a little bit more 'affordable', depending upon how one defines that.
In addition to its Radeon HD 5000 series desktop graphics cards, AMD will also introduce ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 series graphics for notebooks.
Just like with its desktop cards, AMD will ship the Mobility Radeon HD 5800 for the high-end segment, HD 5700 for the performance segment, HD 5600 for the mainstream and HD 5400 for entry-level notebooks.
Let's wait to see if AMD introduces DirectX 11 based graphics cards by the end of this month or next month when Windows 7 is expected to launch.
The mobile cards are expected to be very similar to the desktop versions. All of the HD 5800 series will likely support CrossFireX.
The HD 5870, 5850 and 5830 series will be the top end with 1,600 shader units, or almost double what the current top end HD 4000 series have. The HD 5770, 5750 and 5730 series will be the performance range, the HD 5650 and 5600 series will be the mainstream parts, and the HD 5470, 5450 and 5430 series will be for the entry level market.
AMD has been a bit busy lately working out how to market its "Vision" branding that will help make clear the separations between different levels of AMD-based notebooks. µ

An AmericanLaundryNews.com Exclusive
CHICAGO — I've written 11 other columns this year that express my personal opinion on issues pertaining to our industry, but the most glaring issue that faces all of us today is the issue of micromanagement. A recently published article indicated that the federal work force has more micromanagers than any business sector.
After more than 30 years in the federal sector, out of the six managers I had, all but the first was a culprit of micromanagement, not just in my office, but throughout their careers. You'd have thought that they would've learned from my first manager, but since they could never fill his shoes, they had to rely on micromanagement instead. It's lucky for them that they're still around.
Managers like these need to recognize that employees, in spite of what they may think, are suffering because of an apparent lack of leadership. While I'm confident that there are varying degrees of micromanagement, these managers must take responsibility for the situations they create. It's certainly more critical to develop future managers than browbeat employees.
The unfortunate situation is that our industry is full of these individuals who think they are leaders but are certainly not — not by any definition of "leader" except perhaps for one based on the title held.
One of the most difficult but most important transitions, regardless of whether you're a manager or even a captain or a general, is letting go of the details. It takes courage and trust to let others manage day-to-day operations, but a true leader must learn to let go. This is probably more difficult for someone who came up through the hierarchy of an organization than it is for someone who is vaulted into a position because of who — rather than what — they know. If this transition doesn't happen, the entire organization suffers and an impasse is inevitable. It may take time to see this happen, but believe me, it will.
As I have said in previous columns, it's crucial to listen to your employees. They provide insight that will help prevent managers from making huge mistakes, and they will establish goals so that leaders can support the management team/employees.
If you are someone who falls into the dark side of micromanagement, then do yourself a favor and get some help. Not a shrink, but some real management training outside of your organization. Your weakness will result in an inability to consider ideas other than your own. You must learn to listen!
Organizational growth requires innovation and change. This can't happen if you suppress ideas. We all need constructive discussions with our employees. You must work toward harmony in your organization and see positive attributes in each and every employee. You must replace blame and judgment with high hopes and constructive initiatives based on the input of your employees, not based on what you dream about at night.
Committed and passionate managers can make a difference. Micromanagers, and you know who you are, just drag down an organization and leave no room for growth. You may look good when you view yourself in the mirror, but you're not a real leader.
As we close out the calendar year and venture into 2009, I want to add that we should all get behind our new President. Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays!

27 October 2011
Brisbane, 27 October 2011: Clayton Utz has advised long-standing client Transpacific Industries Group Limited (TPI) in connection with its proposed equity capital raising of approximately A$309 million and new A$1.525 billion debt facility, announced to the market yesterday.
Clayton Utz Brisbane Corporate partners Andrew Hay and Tony Lalor led the firm's team on the equity side. The raising comprises a 9 for 14 Accelerated Pro Rata Renounceable Entitlement Offer of ordinary shares at an issue price of 50 cents per share.
A Clayton Utz finance team led by Melbourne Banking partner Marcus Davenport together with special counsel Greg Potts and Sydney Banking partner Alexander Schlosser, advised TPI on its A$1.525 billion new syndicated debt facilities.
In July 2007, Andrew led the Clayton Utz team that advised TPI on the corporate aspects of its A$1.2 billion acquisition of the Cleanaway business, a multi-jurisdictional transaction which the Clayton Utz team turned around in a tight two-week timeframe.
Transpacific Industries Group provides waste management, recycling and industrial services across Australia and New Zealand.

The Bigger Picture: Embryos in Divorce Cases
There are now estimated to be close to half a million frozen embryos in the United States. Although President Bush has declared embryos to be "unique and genetically complete, like every other human being," there is no national policy defining what, exactly, they are in the eyes of the law. Thus, there is no policy about what to do with any "leftovers." Are they property or human life? Potential life, because they can't thrive outside the womb? Or "microscopic Americans," as the conservative newspaper columnist Deroy Murdock has called them?
So far, the half-dozen state supreme courts that have handed down opinions about embryos in divorce cases have sided with the individual's right not to be forced into parenthood. The first such case, in Tennessee, came closest to clarifying the status of embryos. It was 1992 — still early in the era of IVF treatment — and Junior and Mary Sue Davis hadn't signed an agreement. When they divorced, the lower court boldly declared their embryos "human beings" and gave them to Mary Sue. Junior appealed, and the Tennessee supreme court decided in his favor, stating that the partner who didn't want to procreate should generally prevail, an opinion that courts in subsequent cases across the country have followed. The court also declared embryos neither human nor property, but "occupying an interim category deserving a special respect." It ordered them destroyed.
No one tracks exactly how many couples divorce before their embryo implants take place. Usually such disputes are resolved informally, says Barbara Katz Rothman, a sociology professor at Baruch College and author of Recreating Motherhood. "Cases don't come up when things are going well," she says. "So you always end up with crappy, weird, unusual situations when everything else in the world that usually works" — from informal negotiations between the couple to the pressures and pleadings of family and friends — "has failed. It's not particularly sensible for these cases to be used as the basis for judging what happens to everybody else."
One case that began with discord yet didn't become a state supreme court battle was that of Allison Le Compte, 46, owner of a Houston human resources management company, whose divorce became final in 2005. Le Compte's attorney husband wanted to keep the 13 remaining embryos from two IVF cycles (which had produced their three children). Le Compte wanted to donate the embryos. "I was a little hesitant about giving mine up to an infertile couple," she says. "But I knew I was done." The divorce was so contentious that ultimately Le Compte decided to let the issue slide. She hasn't even called the clinic to see whether the embryos remain in storage. But she can sympathize with Augusta. "Bless her heart. I don't blame her," Le Compte says. "Genetically, she knows what she's got, and those were her children."
This past February, to Augusta's dismay, Texas's first court of appeals overturned Lisa Millard's ruling and ordered the Romans' embryos destroyed, based on the clinic contract they signed. The court did not address Randy Roman's claim that he shouldn't be forced to father children he didn't want. In March, claiming that the appellate court had misinterpreted the contract and failed to weigh Augusta's interests against Randy's, Pamela George (a former law school professor of Reitz's) filed a motion for the court to rehear the case. By donating his sperm, she also argued, Randy had already consented to fatherhood, and it was too late for him to change is mind. The court declined a rehearing. As MORE went to press, Augusta's legal team was preparing an application to the state supreme court.
Whose Egg Is It, Anyway? An Embryo-Custody Battle
She's desperate to bear a child; he refuses to be the father. While Augusta and Randy Roman duke it out in court, three embryos they created together are on ice. Welcome to the custody battle of the future.

Hilton Hotels Corp., which is based in Beverly Hills, California, is recognized internationally as a preeminent hospitality company. The company develops, owns, manages or franchises approximately 2,300 hotels, resorts and vacation ownership properties.
Hilton Hotels (NYSE: HLT) operates a corporate headquarters in Memphis where three brands -- Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites and Hampton -- are headquartered.
Starbucks has partnered with Suntory Ltd., which will manage the manufacturing and distribution of the coffee ready-to-drink products in Japan. Terms and conditions of the deal, however, were not disclosed.
Starbucks Coffee Japan Ltd., the subsidiary that has operated Starbucks stores in Japan since 1996, will provide consulting support. Starbucks' joint venture partner in Taiwan, President Starbucks Coffee Taiwan Ltd., will handle the distribution in Taiwan, while Uni-President Enterprises Corp., a large Taiwanese food and beverage company, will manufacture the products.
Seattle-based Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) announced that the ready-to-drink market in both countries combined is worth about $10 billion in sales. Japan and Taiwan represent the company's first foray into the sales of products outside of Starbucks coffeehouses, in a region other than North America. "The success we have had bringing bottled Starbucks Frappuccino coffee drinks and Starbucks DoubleShot espresso drinks to consumers in channels outside of our retail stores in the U.S. and Canada, demonstrates our potential worldwide," the company said.
Van Houtte, which controls more than half the coffee-service market in Canada and about 3% of the U.S. market, rolled out wholesale price hikes of 30 to 40 cents a pound in the latest quarter. Monette is shooting for a gain in fiscal 2006 earnings of 10% to 15%. He wants to buy more distributors in the fragmented U.S. office coffee service market and build more business with supermarket chains. With further plans to acquire more service firms, the company has already installed their business and supplies in New Jersey, Illinois, Texas, Florida and Georgia. The U.S., with 4,000 local and regional players, offers great opportunities. In Canada, the priority is Toronto. "A 5.8% gain in coffee machines installed across Canada is a good sign, and a rise of 10-15% in fiscal 2006 earnings is achievable," said Dundee Securities' analyst, Bill Chisholm. "But the first quarter could still get a bad taste from the green coffee prices."
Last November, Van Houtte signed a deal to install and maintain a coffee machine in each of the 1,031 stores of Lowe's, the second-biggest U.S. home-renovation chain.
This interim committee, despite this great controversy, is formed along with the new Coffee Act, which explains and gives guidelines on the operations of the sector. The chairman of the Coffee Board of Kenya, Wachira Mwago, welcomed the formation of a new association, saying it was provided through the law. He said the union would run the auction floor, a task previously undertaken by the board before the sector's reforms. Mwago accused those that opposed the KCPTA, as people who wanted chaos in the industry. "They did not have the interests of the farmers at heart," he said.
Others, however, support their opposition by stating that KCPTA as an institution has outlived its usefulness. A player claimed the article that sought to create the association was sneaked into the Act during the formulation of the law, when powerful coffee cartels ran the sector. "The powerful cartels at the time were opposed to liberalization of the industry," said the source. He also said that farmers pay many levies to coffee bodies and the addition of a new unit "would eat further into their meager returns." Farmers currently pay levies to the Coffee Board of Kenya, Coffee Research Foundation and other charges for milling, marketing and warehousing services, among others.
The sect, which believes the teapot has healing properties, is in Malaysia's northeast, a devoutly Muslim area that has suddenly lost patience with the cult, headed by the man who says he is God and owner of everything.
State religious authorities have outlawed the teapot sect as a deviant cult. They face a fine of about $789, or two years in jail for flouting a ruling by authorities that Ayah Pin's teachings and belief were false and had strayed from the true teachings of Islam.
