The Morning Ledger: Time Warner, IBM Shift on Health Benefits

Verizon and the FCC are set to battle it out in court today over "net neutrality" rules. At the heart of the case is whether the FCC has the authority to tell broadband Internet providers that they can't give priority to some services or adjust fees and speeds to handle data-heavy traffic like video, the WSJ reports. The FCC argues that, except for reasonable network management, such prioritization would undermine the openness that has allowed the Internet to flourish. But Verizon says the FCC is overstepping its bounds. The bigger issue is the balance of power between Internet firms like Google and Facebook and carriers like Verizon and Comcast when it comes to pricing and profiting from fast-growing Web traffic.
All eyes will be on Apple tomorrow, when the company is expected to unveil a new iPhone with a faster processor and another model that will be cheaper. A lower-cost smartphone could allow Apple to expand its share of overseas markets — especially in China, where the iPhone is highly desired but just out of reach of many consumers because of its price, the NYT says.
The economic agenda is pretty light this week. Weekly jobless claims will be closely watched on Thursday after Friday's lackluster nonfarm payrolls report. The Commerce Department's retail sales report for August is expected to show a slight increase, while producer prices for August are seen inching up, according to the Calculated Risk blog.
Markets flash: Upbeat economic data lifted shares in Shanghai (more on that below), while Japan rallied after Tokyo won its bid to host the 2020 Olympics. European markets are mixed and DJIA futures are up.
AT&T gets tentative approval to fund pension with preferred stock. AT&T has received tentative approval from the Department of Labor to contribute up to $9.5 billion of preferred equity to its pension plan, in a move that would bring the telecom giant's plan close to fully funded, Emily Chasan reports. In a "notice of proposed exemption" posted by the Labor Department, the agency said AT&T could be allowed to exceed federal limits that prohibit a company from putting more than 10% of its own stock into its pension plan. The proposal is open for public comment and, if formally approved, would be effective retroactively as of Sept. 1. "They would certainly be the largest company that's done something like this," said John Culver, an analyst at Fitch Ratings. "It's a novel way to address some of these pension issues, and if other companies have an asset like this they could review it."
Time Warner joins IBM in health shift for retirees. Time Warner plans to move its U.S. retirees from company-administered health plans to private exchanges, the WSJ reports. The company will allocate funds in special accounts that retirees can use to shop for coverage. The move follows IBM's announcement that it will move about 110,000 of its retirees off its company-sponsored health plan to a Medicare insurance exchange. Hundreds of thousands of retirees are already using exchanges to pick Medicare plans, and many more are likely to do so in the months ahead as companies look for ways to fix their health-care costs by moving to the "defined contribution" model they adopted for pensions years ago.
Investors poised to snap up Neiman for $6 billion. Neiman Marcus appears close to having a buyer. A team of Ares Management and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board are in the final stages of talks to buy the luxury retailer for around $6 billion, the WSJ's Mike Spector and Dana Cimilluca report. Potential buyers have been concerned about Neiman's growth prospects. The company reported $4.5 billion in sales for the 12 months ended in April, slightly below Neiman's revenue of $4.6 billion in 2008. Even so, some outside observers have said that a price around $6 billion would be fair for Neiman, and value the company at a multiple to certain earnings measures comparable with what rival Saks commanded in a recently announced sale to Hudson's Bay.
KPN finance chief resigns. Dutch telecom firm KPN just said that CFO Eric Hageman is leaving the company due to "personal circumstances," the WSJ reports. While KPN said the departure is unrelated, it comes as America Movil, the Mexican telecom firm controlled by billionaire Carlos Slim, is planning a takeover offer for KPN, valuing the company at €10.25 billion. Mr. Hageman became CFO in January 2012, after the previous finance chief left because of a disagreement over changes to the company's management structure.
Corporate bond rush in Europe. Europe's corporate bond market has raised a total of nearly $29 billion over the past two weeks, a dramatic surge after one of the quietest summers on record, the FT reports. There were a total of 39 issues as borrowers sought to take advantage of low borrowing costs ahead of likely rate increases. Analysts said investors had become much more relaxed about the euro-zone story, but were aware some difficult issues such as banking reform have been "parked" until after the German election on Sept. 22, and could quickly re-emerge.
P&G tries downsizing to boost bottom line. Procter & Gamble is raising diaper prices an average of 5% to 7% by reducing the number of items in each package while leaving the price tags steady, the WSJ reports. Downsizing—which also is used by makers of cereal, potato chips, candy and other food—is another sign that companies are reluctant to raise prices during the fragile economic recovery. Some retailers, including Wal-Mart, have pressed manufacturers to pack their products in smaller sizes to make them more affordable.
Musk-backed SolarCity scraps 'Happy Meal' deal. SolarCity, a solar-energy firm backed by entrepreneur Elon Musk, ditched a type of "Happy Meal" share-lending deal that has given some investors indigestion, write the WSJ's Michael Siconolfi and Michael Rothfeld. SolarCity disclosed on Aug. 28 that it was eliminating the Happy Meal structure it had previously registered in connection with a securities offering. It didn't specify a reason. The financing technique for cash-starved companies involves serving up everything investors need to profit: bonds that are convertible into stock if the borrower does well and tools for betting against the firm if its prospects sour. Critics of the deals contend that some bond buyers get involved only because the issuing companies facilitate their short selling and that the big negative wagers can exacerbate problems for companies by driving down their share prices.
Lessons from the financial crisis. The Journal's David Wessel looks for lessons from the financial crisis in this latest part of a series on the near-collapse of the global financial system. Enough time has passed to identify key moments in the war to save the world economy — and to second-guess the generals. They did prevent Great Depression 2.0 and, yes, it could have been worse, Wessel writes. But could it have been better? Did missteps worsen the crisis, or sow seeds of the next one? MIT economist Andrew Lo points out there is still significant debate over both the causes and the cures for the crisis. "We haven't decided as a country, as a society, to study these failures like the National Transportation Safety Board studies an airline crash to make air travel safer," he says.
Chinese economy benefits from stronger U.S. demand. China's economy showed new signs of resilience in August, with key trade data pointing to a sustained strengthening in global demand for goods from the country, the WSJ reports. Exports continued to gather steam, rising 7.2% in August from a year earlier — up from a 5.1% rise in July and a contraction of 3.1% in June. Imports rose 7% from a year earlier in August, down from 10.9% in July. The overall picture was of a Chinese economy benefiting from progressive strengthening of demand in the U.S. and other important export markets. China is also continuing to stock up on raw materials for its industrial sector.
- Sandvik Group, the Swedish industrial company that makes tools for metal cutting, mining and construction, has appointed Mats Backman as chief financial officer and executive vice president, effective Oct. 1. Mr. Backman is currently vice president of finance, IT and business development for Sandvik Machining Solutions – a position he has held since 2007. He replaces Emil Nilsson, "who has decided to pursue other opportunities outside Sandvik," the company said in a statement. Mr. Nilsson has held the position since last May.
- Trinity Industries, a Dallas-based diversified industrial company, has hired Steve McDowell as vice president and chief audit executive. Mr. Dowell comes from Dean Foods, where he was most recently vice president, internal audit and risk management. He replaces Don Collum, who is retiring.
- Mobile Mini, a Tempe, Ariz.-based provider of portable storage solutions, said Audra Taylor has joined the firm as vice president and chief accounting officer, effective Sept. 16. She succeeds Deborah Keeley, who is leaving the company. Ms. Taylor was most recently the vice president of finance at LifeLock.

Ebola has been big news lately with the outbreak in Africa, two quarantined care givers being flown to the United States and one case reported tn the Mideast. So, it was no surprise that when an errant tweet, from the official account of Yahoo News, mentioned a outbreak, in Georgia, affecting 135 was re-tweeted by over 100 followers. Yahoo News quickly came out with a tweet letting their followers know that reports of any outbreak were false and unauthorized.
Earlier, an unauthorized tweet with misinformation on Ebola was sent from this account; please disregard that tweet.
Quite a few media sites reported that the erroneous tweet was made by hackers. There were no follow ups or malicious links that would normally associate with a hacking attack. No groups of individuals have taken credit for breaking into Yahoo's account. Yahoo has not acknowledged any detection of a hack. Yahoo has said that they are working with tweet to investigate any possible security leaks.
It would appear from the way Yahoo worded their correction that it was a case of someone with in the company not going through channels. If this is the case it would seem that policies inside Yahoo News need to be looked at so there are not any more erroneous tweets.
The two American missionaries that have been flown back to the United States are under strict quarantine at Emory University Hospital. Authorities down there have assured the public that they are taking every precaution that the virus is well confined.
"We will continue to cooperate and collaborate with [public health officials] and adhere strictly to their guidelines in the return of our missionaries to the United States," SIM USA president Bruce Johnson said.
Ebola has no know cure and has been linked to almost 700 hundred deaths on the African continent. Making it understandable why there was such a big panic when the erroneous tweet appeared on Sunday.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
Dear Garrison, Do yourself a
March 29, 2006 |
Dear Garrison,
Do yourself a favor and don't print Posts to the Host that are obviously written by listeners who have other issues in their lives, an axe to grind, whatever. You have been very tolerant of the negative Posts, but it's clear that many of the Posts aren't about "Prairie Home Companion" at all. Put on your psychologist's hat and filter out some of these unhappy Posts -- unless, of course, you wish to put on your crown of thorns and save everyone!
Joan K.
Wisconsin Rapids, WI
You are awfully kind, Joan, but I don't mind negative Posts. People who listen to public radio are an independent lot and have high standards and aren't afraid to speak their minds. And I'm from Minnesota. We are brought up to ignore flattery and to heed our critics. And when you have the power of the microphone, it's only right that people should be able to talk back. Every joke is a knife in the back of somebody. Comedy is inevitably hurtful. Sixty people enjoy the joke and one person bursts into tears. That one person should be able to sass me back. It's only right. "A Prairie Home Companion" is not some big corporate entity in an airtight castle: we're a rather small operation of a handful of people scrabbling to make the show every week. We make mistakes and don't mind them being pointed out.

I'm running Zend Server CE (http://www.zend.com/en/products/server-ce/) and i'm developing a project (Zend Framework) which requires uploading big files ( video, > 100MB ). I have been trying to configure php.ini according to numerous articles over the internet related to php configuration for big files uploads.:
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 200M
max_input_time = 1800
memory_limit = 256M
max_execution_time = 1800
post_max_size =204M
The problem is bigger files (over few MB) still can not be uploaded. I have also tried to use uploadify flash uploader (http://www.uploadify.com/), but when i try to upload bigger files (outside localhost) the problem persists. I have tried this with ready made samples from uploadify website, which means that the problem is not in my project.
I am probably not configuring the server properly for uploading big files.

"How I Met Your Mother" will air a special episode later on tonight on CBS, but work has now begun on another special episode of the series. On Sunday, Jan. 26, Spoiler TV shared a series of tweets by Craig Thomas, and he revealed that work had started on the script for the series finale. Thomas said the following on his Twitter:
We're writing the series finale script right now. That's real. #HIMYM.
Thomas did get nostalgic as he worked on the final script. He even commented on corrections his screenwriting program made while he worked on the script. Details about the finale have been kept under wraps for the most part, but fans will see a time jump on the big episode.
"How I Met Your Mother" tried a huge experiment with this season. The action has been over one weekend period, but the big moment will finally arrive. Ted will now meet his future wife and the mother of his children. Josh Radnor spoke about the series and the end of it during the filming of the big episode, and he said the following, according to From Inside The Box:
"Two hundred episodes and the end of the show can't help but put you in a reflective moment, but there's nothing but good feelings, really."
The series has played a major role in his life, but it will soon come to an end. "How I Met Your Mother" will continue to air on Monday nights on CBS.

OMG! I heard it too and was shocked!!!!! So glad I'm not alone! I remember hearing it and telling my friend because I was in shock! (I cannot tell you how many times my girlie has watched it.)
That totally sound like what he said, but I think it's because it's what I expected him to say, kwim? Even if the actor tried to pull that, I think someone would have caught that in editing. Of course, I would've thought someone would've caught that it sounded like swearing in editing...

"Do what you want with my body, do what you want with my body. You can't stop my voice cause you don't own my life"
They should have made him enunciate that line when they recorded it, because it sounds suspcious, and even if he's just saying, "Put me down" it sure sounds like the other thing.

Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE priced at $599, will be indeed launched on March 7
Verizon Wireless has officially confirmed that its Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with LTE would be available for purchase starting March 7 – just as we've heard yesterday.
The largest US mobile carrier has also unveiled the price of the new device: $599. The Note 10.1 will be the most expensive Samsung tablet at Verizon (which is currently offering the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and Galaxy Tab 7.7).
Verizon initially announced its Galaxy Note 10.1 in early January, at the same time with the Samsung Ativ Odyssey WP8 smartphone. The Note 10.1 runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and, as you probably already know, features: a PLS display with 1280 x 800 pixels, S Pen stylus, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, 5MP rear camera, 1.9MP front-facing camera, quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a 7,000 mAh battery, and MicroSD card support.
It's not clear if Verizon's Galaxy Note 10.1 will be available in more color versions, but the one seen in the hands-on video embedded below will definitely be on sale:
As a reminder, US Cellular is already selling the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE, and is asking for it less than Verizon, namely $499.
Sprint might introduce its own version of the Note 10.1 LTE pretty soon, but there is nothing official on this at the moment.

The name Odin Biron might not mean much to American pop culture experts, but the Duluth-raised actor is the star of a "Scrubs"-liked TV show that airs in Russia. Read all about it here. Then watch it here:
Patty Duke announced on Sunday that she will return to Duluth in June for the Duluth-Superior Film Festival. Duke spent time here when she filmed the 1972 suspense movie "You'll Like My Mother." And, of course, her son Mackenzie Astin (insert joke about how I had his poster on the wall of my fort when I was a kid) was here for the festival last year as part of the anniversary celebration of "Iron Will." (And, yes, I told him about the poster-fort).
Three months into 2014 and Paul Brissett is declaring Renegade Theater Production's "Next to Normal" potential the show of the season.
Lawrence Bernabo seems to have checked DSSO conductor's odometer to make sure the concert lived up to its billing.
I reviewed a movie. "Veronica Mars" is a total trip for fans, but is probably just a hokey "huh-what?" for non Martians. (Did I just make that up? Non Martians?)

Real Madrid C.F. capped off their Copa del Rey run with a 2-0 win in the second leg match against cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid. Today's result saw superstar Cristiano Ronaldo score his 33rd and 34th goal of the season as Real Madrid booked their ticket to the Copa del Rey final with an aggregate score of 5-0.
Ronaldo notched both of Real Madrid's goals from penalty kicks. After being fouled inside the penalty area in the 7th minute, Cristiano hit the ball hard and low into the left corner of the Atletico goal. Gareth Bale was tripped up on the far side of the Atletico penalty area in the 15th minute; Ronaldo converted his second penalty kick of the night in similar fashion.
Going up for a 50-50 ball right before the halftime whistle, Ronaldo received a yellow card for mistiming the ball out of the air and sent Diego of Atletico Madrid flailing. Diego landed awkwardly on his head but was able to walk off the field under his own power; Diego was soon replaced by Adrián and did not play the rest of the match.
As the teams walked to the dressing rooms for halftime, an Atletico fan threw what seemed to be a cigarette lighter, or a similar small object, in the direction of Ronaldo and Real teammate Sergio Ramos. The object struck Ronaldo in his head and he went down in obvious pain. Ronaldo shook off the knock to the head and suited up to play in the second half.
The second half was uneventful as Atletico was not successful at capitalizing their few scoring opportunities. Their best chance at stealing one back from their cross-town rivals came in the 84th minute off Jose Sosa's half volley, which Real Madrid's goalkeeper Iker Casillas parried out of play. Casillas has not conceded a goal in over 860 minutes of game time, nearly 10 whole games.
Real Madrid will face the winner tomorrow's other semi final between F.C. Barcelona and Real Sociedad. The Spanish cup final kicks off on April 19, the venue has yet to be decided.

Does the Fuze play lossless music well?
I'm wodering on buying a Sansa Fuze or other mp3 player such as Samsung P2. I love the Fuze because it can play lossless music such as *.flac file, but I don't know sound quality on the Fuze when playing a flac file can be better than a 320kps *.mp3 file or not. So everybody use the Fuze can tell me that, please!!
|[Remove Advertisement]
iPod Touch 5G 32GB, Touch 4G 32GB, Clip Sport 8GB. Rockbox-> Clip Zip 4GB, iPod Nano 2G 4GB, iPod 5.5G 80GB
2012 Nexus 7 32GB, Asus MeMoPad 8 16+64GB, LG Optimus G Pro, Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 520
The difference between 320 MPEG-3 and FLAC is debatable in itself since mp3s try only to discard sound information that exists in frequencies that are generally inaudible to humans, or at least things we wouldn't generally notice anyways when listening. That said, I <3 FLAC.
Anyways, the two main culprits would be the encoding process or the listening environment/equipment for differences in sound quality between mp3s and flac files; all that the Fuze is doing is decoding those audio files and sending them to its DAC, and it would be very odd if the decoder was somehow the problem in any device. If you're listening in a noisy environment with cheap earbuds though, no matter which format you listen to your music in it won't be mindblowing.
I don't know if it is me or my stereo components, but I can, blindly, differentiate between FLAC and any lossy format, and so can my gf. I'm talking about whether over my amp and speakers through my computer and DAC (amp: Cambridge azur 640a v2, speakers: Usher S-520, DAC: Cambridge DAC Magic), or through my headphones hooked into my amp (Senn HD 595), or right out of any DAP I've owned, with either my Senn PX-100's or RE2's.
None of this is real high end stuff of course, but it is revealing and detailed and maybe that's why I can tell the difference so easily. It's not as easy on a lesser system such as I recently had (no DAC, vintage Pioneer 980 receiver, BIC speakers, etc.). But most recordings, if not night and day, are at least evening and day lol. Lossless (FLAC) always sounds significantly better.
Anway, back to the OP's question: When using my Fuze I can easily tell the difference between lossy files and lossless files, even with my Senn PX-100's. Put on my RE2's, especially with my Fiio E5 amp, and there is a stark contrast. The Fuze, iow, puts out good enough sound to be able to reveal the limitations of lossy files and the strengths of lossless ones imo. It is a pretty good sounding player, if a little "dry" or "crisp" (but not really thin, more like lean and not real warm) sounding. My Cowon F2 does sound better (fuller and warmer), and I suspect the Cowon D2 I'm getting will sound better too, but the Fuze is a great solid little player for a good price. My only complaint is that the theme it comes with is bland, and you can't wallpaper it. But if a Rockbox comes out for it soon (as seems to be the case) then it will be close to perfect. I'd definitely buy one again, and certainly buy any DAP capable of playing lossless files over one only capable of playing lossy. For me that's absolutely fundamental.

Area Sport Fishing Reports
Prince William Sound
October through November Season
Halibut, Rockfish, Lingcod
Saltwater fishing usually slows down in fall/early winter. Halibut have moved offshore and wintry weather keeps many boats in port. Anglers will likely have a hard time catching large halibut because most are spawning far offshore along the continental shelf, in 400-600 feet of water.
Although the bag limit for rockfish goes up in September, anglers must still keep the first two non-pelagic rockfish they catch. Non-pelagic rockfish - such as "red snapper" - need this additional protection because they rarely survive the change in pressure as they are brought to the surface. Rockfish are extremely long-lived fish, and are slow to reach sexual maturity. Overharvest would quickly reduce the number of mature fish available to spawn.
Lingcod fishing remains open through December 31, and special restrictions remain in effect. The limit in Prince William Sound waters east of Cape Puget is two fish daily (four in possession). All lingcod must be at least 35 inches in length, or 28 inches with the head removed. Gaffs can not be used to land fish that are released. Throughout the fall and early winter, lingcod congregate in nearshore waters in preparation for spawning.
"Winter" kings may be caught throughout the Sound, and in many near-shore salt waters of Alaska. Also called "feeder" kings, they are cruising the Sound, fattening up before returning to their home stream to spawn. Try using downriggers fishing 60 feet or deeper.
Silver salmon continue to be available in October in the Coghill area, and near the Whittier docks. The Cordova road system is also worth a try if you're already in the area.
Freshwater Fishing Opportunities
Area fresh waters should prove fair for Dolly Varden fishing. Try fishing the mouths of freshwater streams, where they empty into the Sound. Good bets are imitations of the salmon lifecycle - eggs, flesh flies - or small silvery spinners or spoons.
Fishing for cutthroat trout should be good throughout the Sound. The bag limit for trout in all waters other than the Special Management Area is 2 trout per day, 2 in possession of which only one per day and in possession may greater than 20 inches in length, all trout over 20 inches retained must be recorded immediately and only 2 fish over 20 inches per year may be retained.
Some nice stocked rainbow trout in the 6-8" range are caught from Blueberry Lake and Ruth Pond in Valdez. Grayling are stocked in Thompson Lake near Valdez. Both these aggressive feeders will go after small spinners or flies. Try an egg-sucking leech, Royal Coachman, or bead-headed Prince Nymph.
Anglers are also reminded that the Copper River Delta "Special Management Area for Trout" has been established to protect unique stocks of trout east of the Copper River. Check the regulations for special restrictions and a description of the area.
The shrimp season does not open until April 15. Subsistence Tanner and king crab fisheries are now allowed in winter months. See Prince William Sound subsistence regulation books for these fishery regulations.

Ten minutes are all you need to tighten and tone your lower body.
Experts have long said that even short periods of exercise can boost heart health. Now there's new proof. According to a study of postmenopausal women, just 10 minutes a day can help improve cardiovascular health. Quick stints "have a dual beneficial effect," says cardiologist Peter Diamond, MD, of the University of Illinois Medical Center. "They improve lean muscle mass, which helps the body burn more calories, and the aerobic activity promotes fat burning." Heart disease risk increases after 40, so this simple, effective, two-for-one workout is twice as smart now. See below for additional 10-minute sequences.
Workout Details
Time it takes: 10 minutes. Set a timer for one minute, repeat the first move until the bell rings, then reset the timer and do the next move for a minute, and then the next. Continue until you've exercised for 10 minutes. If you have 20 minutes to spare, add a second sequence (see below). String all three together for a 30-minute, full-body workout.
How often: Do at least one sequence every day. A few times a week, combine two or three sequences for a longer workout, or do two or three separate 10-minute sessions over the course of a day. To keep your heart rate up, rest for no more than 20 seconds between exercises.
See results: You will feel stronger after one week, and notice tighter muscle tone in six weeks.
Complementary workouts: Do at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise, such as walking or jumping rope, three to five times a week.
Equipment needed: An egg timer, a towel, a pair of light dumbbells (3 to 5 pounds each; $12 to $17 per pair) and a fitness ball ($15 to $20). A soccer ball or basketball will also work.

Works the back of the thighs and the butt
Lying on your back, place your heels on a fitness ball. Rest your arms by your sides, palms down. Straighten your legs and lift your hips.
Keeping your spine neutral, draw the ball toward you as you bend your knees.
Squeeze your butt as you lift your hips. Return to start. Repeat.
Trainer Tip: Don't arch your back. Instead, lengthen it. This forces your glutes to support your lower back.
Works the butt and core
Start on all fours. Resting on your forearms, bring your hands together and bend your left knee.
Lift your left leg, then kick it back to align it with your spine. Return to start. Switch sides. Repeat.
Works hips, butt and core
In a standing position, bend your elbows and place your fists in front of your chest. Bend your right knee, shifting your weight to your left foot.
Bend forward as you kick the bent (right) leg behind you, and extend your right hand to the floor. Return to start. Switch sides and repeat.

FORT KENT – Approximately 300 people filled Fox Auditorium at the University of Maine at Fort Kent on May 3, participating in the University of Maine at Fort Kent's latest Board of Visitor's Business Breakfast Series informational forum.
The event featured Jim Irving, president of J.D. Irving, Limited, speaking about the future of mining in Maine, and specifically on the Bald Mountain mining proposal near Ashland, in a presentation titled Maine's Natural Resources Economy: Opportunity for Growth in Aroostook County.
The presentation primarily functioned to inform the public about the most recent bill, LD 1853, that Governor LePage signed into law on April 24, which Fiddlehead Focuspreviously reported on and posted on April 27.
Irving emphasized the track record of the company in logging and said, "Whatever we do, it has to be right."
He said the company is currently looking to see if the mining proposal at Bald Mountain is "really a serious commercial opportunity." Both Irving and Anthony Hourihan, director of land development for the company, said that decision would be made after the state completes the next step in the regulatory process, which is to rewrite the environmental regulations to incorporate the legislative changes approved in LD 1853.
Irving explained the upcoming, approximately two-year process of rulemaking as a process where the state takes the legislation and "applies it on the ground."
"If this doesn't work out, we'll just stick to planting trees," Irving said.
In accordance with the assurance MDEP Policy Director Heather Parent offered previously, the company representatives said the groundwater and surface water leaving the site of the proposed project will meet state standards and that the recently approved legislation does not propose changes to those standards.
Hourihan said approximately $24 million has been spent in the Bald Mountain area since the 1970's on exploratory testing and baseline monitoring. The proposal has the potential to create up to 300 direct jobs and 400 indirect jobs statewide, with 120 million generated in state and local taxes and 600 million dollars in payroll over the life of the project.
Hourihan said if the company goes ahead with the project, it will last approximately 30 years, with 20 years of active mining and 5 years on either end for the construction and closure processes. He said the project could have a positive impact on the wood-fired electric generating plant in Ashland.
When audience member Darrell Adams questioned the effect that tailings left behind would have on the area's environmental health and how the company planned to address those industrial by-products, Hourihan deferred to the upcoming environmental regulatory re-write, saying the engineering plan would address this question and that the company would move forward with that when the regulations were finalized.
When UMFK Professor Soraya Cardenas asked whether Irving could guarantee local employment, Irving said all employees would have to live nearby, but was unclear in addressing whether jobs would go to locals who currently live in the area.
"All the skills we can get here and use here, we want to use," he said, encouraging local educational institutions to help train a workforce. He suggested specialized mining expertise would have to be imported, however.
Maine State Representative Troy Jackson is one of the lead sponsors along with Senator John Martin for LD 1853. He said he'd testified in support of the bill in spite of issues he's had with the Irving company in the past, specifically the way they pay their employees.
"I've had labor issues I've dealt with, with these people. But I can't let my personal feelings get in the way of something that might be good for the people of Aroostook County."
He said the company representatives failed to mention the $32 million water treatment facility that would need to be built to treat discharges from the mining activities, which would be another financial investment in the area.
"They are as good as any other environmentally," he said. He also said the company doesn't use bonded workers on their projects, whereas other logging companies do, which has been a contentious issue for the logging contractors and stakeholders in northern Maine.
Martin said the benefits that the Bald Mountain proposal will potentially have on many different aspects of Irving's interests, from rail transportation to logging and forestry, and the anticipated influence the project could leverage for the company will be unlikely to have an impact on state policy.
"I don't care how much they put into Aroostook County, it's a very small piece of the economic engine that drives the state." He said the interests of electrical companies have a greater impact on the legislature than Irving does.

The author of Clinical Cas of Couple Therapy is Alan S.This title is available at BookMoving on 's eBooks, Gurman Phd, "Clinical Casebook of Couple Therapy" The Gu.Clinical Cas of Couple Therapy Textbook, course, ebook, pdf, download at bookmoving ...rd Pr..s | 2010-05-25 | ISBN: 1606236768 | 450 pages | PDF | 2,3 MB Vividly depicting the process of therapy, this instructive casebook presents in-depth illustrations of treatment based on the most important couple therapy models. An array of leading clinicians offer a window onto how they work with clients grappling with mild and more serious clinical concerns, including conflicts surrounding intimacy, sex, power, and communication; parenting issues; and mental illness. Featuring couples of varying ages, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientations, the cases shed light on both what works and what doesn't work when treating intimate partners. Each candid case presentation includes engaging comments and discussion questions from the editor. "Couples today face the daunting challenges of stress-laden lives and precious little time to nurture their relationship, and couple therapists find themselves with many complex cases. In this timely volume, Gurman and a cadre of leading couple therapists provide a wealth of practical guidelines, case illustrations, and commentary from their own experiences and varied practice orientations. Both beginning social work students and experienced practitioners will find this casebook invaluable."--Froma Walsh, PhD, Codirector, Chicago Center for Family Health, and Mose and Sylvia Firestone Professor Emerita, School of Social Service Administration, University of Chicago "This is the only recent couple therapy book I've seen that features a broad range of real cases presented by clinicians from a variety of orientations. It is wonderfully engaging. Whether you are new to couple therapy or are a seasoned clinician, this book will expand your understanding of what happens throughout the course of couple therapy, including both clinical successes and disappointments. Read this book--you will learn, be inspired, and gain an even greater appreciation of how the field of couple therapy has evolved."--Donald H. Baucom, PhD, Richard Simpson Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "Clinical Casebook of Couple Therapy would be an excellent companion to Clinical Handbook of Couple Therapy in a graduate-level couple therapy class. The case examples do an outstanding job of putting 'meat' on the theoretical bones of the different approaches, permitting both a deeper understanding of each approach and consideration of similarities and differences across them. Students will get an inside view of the alternating challenges and breakthroughs that comprise the intricate dance of therapy."--Brian D. Doss, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Miami "This clinical casebook offers extraordinary insights into the practice of couple therapy. It reflects the diversity and breadth of couple therapy today and provides a great opportunity to see master clinicians addressing some of the most interesting clinical challenges. The stories embedded in these chapters are intriguing dramas that clinicians and students will enjoy as they learn new strategies and techniques."/m-/William M. Pinsof, PhD, President, The Family Institute at Northwestern University "Clinical Casebook of Couple Therapy proves once again that although theories of couple therapy can be neat and tidy, real therapy cases seldom are. Readers learn from the pros how to improvise over the course of therapy, using one's preferred theory as a touchstone along the way. Gurman's incisive questions throughout the text provide an additional dimension that greatly enriches the experience."--Robert-Jay Green, PhD, Distinguished Professor, California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University, San Francisco "This is a real blockbuster, with nineteen chapters and twenty-six authors....Clearly it should be on the shelf in any library of a training centre. It represents a very important compendium of knowledge."--ACP North London Magazine (British Publication) Download filepost uploading

Verizon to launch an Apple tablet computer this year
While Verizon may not release an iPhone anytime soon, the giant mobile carrier could – and apparently will – launch another Apple product, namely a tablet computer, sometime before the year's end.
Said tablet may look like a larger iPod Touch, sporting a 9 to 10 inch touchscreen display and maybe a keyboard too – this could be that Verizon media pad rumored a few months back.
According to The Street, "an initial version" of the Apple tablet will be offered by Verizon Wireless, subsidized. However, it looks like Verizon won't have exclusivity for the device, like AT&T has for the iPhone.
It's said that Apple has the computer tablet ready for almost a year (in a prototype version). Seeing that devices like the Amazon Kindle are quite successful, the company has probably thought that now it's a good time to release its own tablet.
(this is just a mockup)
We should expect the tablet to have a high price, like most of Apple's products.
Being a data-only device, the tablet might be expensive even after Verizon subsidizes it. Mobile operators generally offer big subsidies for smartphones, which bring nice revenues from both the voice and data plans paid by customers during their contract agreements. With this in mind, we suppose that a data-only device could only be sold after a smaller subsidy and, thus, be more expensive.

One of the premiere post-punk/new wave ska fusion acts of the 80s are ranking full stop to The Blank Club (44 S. Almaden Ave), this Friday (April 18th). The English Beat translated their genre into the modern age with dynamic post-punk dance hits like "Twist and Crawl, "Save It For Later," and "Mirror in the Bathroom." Their unique and unforgettable style graced period movie soundtracks for screen mega-hits like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" all the way to 80s reunion films like "Grosse Point Blank."
In support, local alt-rock legends-in-waiting, Picture Atlantic, inaugurate the evening with a set-list that tentatively includes new tracks from their yet-to-be named forthcoming release. The 4-piece will be fresh off a video release party for "White Knight." (Check it HERE.)
The performance also significant as PA keyboardist, Brian Graves, counts down to his final performance with the troupe. The band announced an amicable parting of ways with the keyboardist; his very last performance is set for May 2nd at Santa Cruz's The Crepe Place. His texturing and musical depth will, no doubt, be missed. No plans have been announced for a replacement.
On a further aside, PA Bassist, Ryan Blair will be celebrating his birthday, so be sure to throw a 'cheers' his way.

This was not a gift to me. However, I liked it well enough to buy one for each family unit - we are having a reunion next summer in Olympic. The real proof in the pudding will be after the reunion and people have used the map.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

College Hockey:RIT battles to tough win over Wilfrid Laurier
Jeff Smith notches game-winner
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Institute of Technology pulled away from Wilfred Laurier and posted a 3-1 exhibition win to kick off its season.
The Tigers outshot Wilfred Laurier 31-11 over the second and third periods, holding a 44-21 advantage in the game, but Golden Hawks goaltender Ryan Daniels kept his team in the contest.
"It was exactly what we were looking for," said RIT coach Wayne Wilson. Both teams competed hard."
Wilfred Laurier had several quality chances in a scoreless first period, but Tigers' goaltender Jan Ropponen kept the Golden Hawks off the board.
The teams traded goals in a 36-second span in the second period. RIT got its first goal of the game on a four-on-three power play. Chris Haltigin's shot from the high slot beat Daniels through a screen. Moments later, Wilfred Laurier tied the game on a Ben Skinner shot at point-blank range off of a feed from Alex Poulter.
The Tigers took the lead for good with just over four minutes to play in the second period with a short-handed goal. RIT's Jeff Smith poked the puck away at center ice and scored on the resulting breakaway to make it 2-1.
The Tigers got an insurance goal from Adam Hartley on a delayed penalty at 11:19 of he third period.
"We have a ways to go," said Wilson. "It was a good start, but we were sloppy. But now we have a starting point as we look at film to get better."
Ropponen played 31 minutes and allowed one goal on 17 shots. Freshman Josh Watson relieved him and stopped all six shots he faced.
RIT dressed only two goaltenders, as Shane Madolora, who is expected to start Friday's game against St. Cloud, is nursing a sore ankle.
"Janni (Ropponen) played very well," Wilson said. "Josh (Watson) didn't see as many shots, but I thought it was a good start for him coming into that situation, ahead by only a goal."
The Tigers open NCAA play next weekend at the Mutual of Omaha Stampede tournament. They'll face St. Cloud in the opening game, and then the host University of Nebraska-Omahma Mavericks on Saturday.
"Those will be good games for us to see where we're at," said Wilson. "I think it's going to be difficult, but that's why we play these nonconference games. It also gives us a chance to experiment before we get a little more conservative going into league play."

Samuel Jean de Pozzi
Samuel-Jean Pozzi came to Paris to study medicine as a young man. He met Sarah Bernhardt through a childhood friend, the famed actor Jean Mounet-Sully, and, according to historian and childhood friend Gustave Schlumberger, they briefly became lovers yet remained lifelong friends afterwards.
Samuel-Jean Pozzi died in 1918, but later reincarnated as Alex Winter.
Samuel-Jean Pozzi died in 1918, but later reincarnated as Alex Winter.
Jean-Sully Mounet was a French actor. "Mounet-Sully" (without the "Jean") was a stage name.
He entered the Conservatoire at the age of twenty-one, and took the first prize for tragedy. His career was interrupted by the Franco-Prussian War, and the liking he developed for soldiering had almost decided him to give up the stage, when he was offered the opportunity of playing the part of Oreste in Racine's Andromaque at the Comédie Française in 1872.
His striking presence and voice and the passionate vigour of his acting made an immediate impression, and the eventual result was his election as sociétaire in 1874. He became one of the mainstays of the Comédie Française, and distinguished himself in a great variety of tragic and romantic parts.
He died in 1916 and later reincarnated as George Carlin.
George Carlin
George Carlin was an American stand-up comedian. He was also an actor and author, and he won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums.
Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Carlin's routines focused on the flaws in modern-day America. He often took on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture. His final HBO special, It's Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death.
Paul Mounet
Paul Mounet was a French actor and the brother of Jean-Sully Mounet.
He became a doctor of medicine, and first appeared on the stage in Horace at the Paris Odéon (1880). It was in 1889 that he first played at the Comédie Française, of which he became sociétaire two years later. Mounet gained his reputation in Les Erynnyes, L'Arlésienne, Othello, Patrie, Hamlet, La Furie, Anthony, Le Roi, L'Enigme, Le Dédale, and Œdipe Roi. He served also as a professor at the Paris Conservatoire and became Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
Some people (displaying greater psychic intuition than the false, self-proclaimed and cheating media psychic experts on reincarnation) have been intrigued by the striking resemblance between Paul Mounet and Keanu Reeves.
This match is actually confirmed by the Akashic Records!
Anyone can check it for themselves using a pendulum or using more advanced techniques following some form of chakra development and basic psychic awareness training.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) is an American buddy comedy/science fiction movie in which two slacking Metalheads travel through time in order to assemble a menagerie of historical figures for their high school history presentation.
The movie stars Alex Winter as Bill S. Preston, Esquire, Keanu Reeves as "Ted" Theodore Logan, and George Carlin as Rufus.
The sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) also stars Alex Winter, Keanu Reeves and George Carlin. The film's original working title was Bill & Ted Go To Hell.

Buddying up in the office can be tricky. But when handled well, work friendships can be both personally and professionally rewarding. Workplace relationship experts weigh in on how to navigate these tricky relationships.
"Workships—relationships that are more than acquaintances but less than friendships—can be safer for the office," says relationship coach and author of Productive Relationships Jan Yager, Ph.D. They maintain a distance that makes it easier and less dramatic if the relationship does end, but they still contribute to a pleasant and productive work environment.
Don't underestimate the power of the after work drink or coffee break with coworkers. A survey conducted of 1,000 US workers aged 18 or older by the Gallup Organization found that having a good friend at work is more effective at keeping people motivated in the office than a good salary or benefits. Fifty-one percent of those with a friend were engaged in their work versus 10 percent without a good friend. Plus, it's profitable for companies: 75 percent of those with a friend planned to be with the company for at least another year, compared to only 51 percent without.
Almost one-third (31 percent) of U.S. workers have witnessed co-workers engaging in unethical conduct, yet only half (52 percent) of those people report what they witness, according to a national poll of 2,099 U.S. workers by staffing firm Hudson. If you see a fellow employee violating office rules, report it to your superior.
Fifty-four percent of women in the US work full-time, so it's no surprise that we make a lot of our friends in the office.
Friends are a good thing in a good workplace—and a bad thing in a bad workplace. When employees are in an office where the boss is dictatorial and feel like they receive little recognition, they will commiserate with their office friends and increase the "us-versus-them" tone in the office, reports Gallup managing consultant Dana Baugh. Instead of dwelling on the negative with friends, work with your superiors and coworkers to get to the root of the issue and fix it.
"It's important not to get too friendly too soon, or to reveal very intimate information before you know the other person," says NYU psychiatry professor and author of TheFriendshipBlog.com, Irene S. Levine, Ph.D. Remember this is someone who can affect your livelihood if your friendship falls apart, or at the very least, make things uncomfortable in the office every day. However, friendships always involve taking risks, and finding someone you can trust can prove to be a great support system.
"In my research, I've found that friendships with those at the same level in the workplace are safer than between those who are at different levels—i.e. befriending your boss," says Yager. That doesn't mean that inter-level friendships can't work, just be prepared to put in the extra effort to make sure the difference in status doesn't become an issue.
You not only risk negatively affecting your career if things turn sour but you also risk ruining your relationships with your peers because of jealousy. Maintain boundaries in the office by remaining professional, not taking advantage of the friendship, maintaining confidentiality and respecting your superior's authority, says Levine.
The standard rule of thumb is to avoid discussing these sensitive topics with coworkers, as your views could cause negativity and unease about working together. This is a good practice to follow with most of your co-workers, says Yager: "But if you are working with a friend—a true friend—nothing should be off limits."
"Gossip is always risky business," says Levine. Most of it is negative and can be personally damaging. If a colleague is gossiping to you, divert the conversation to another topic and don't participate in or encourage the hearsay. If the person continues, let them know that it makes you uncomfortable. On the other hand, some gossip can be constructive, such as chit-chat about office politics to feel out what is acceptable in a workplace setting.
"If you become very friendly with someone who has a reputation for being disloyal, lazy or the office gossip, you may tarnish your reputation," says Levine. Be sure to get to know everyone in your workplace before you form a strong alliance with any one person.
There are those who believe that business and personal life should not mix, so don't take a rejection personally. "Some people can't handle the challenges of having a friendship at work," says Yager. "They don't want to worry about whether criticizing a friend will hurt the friendship, or that showing favoritism might lead to others being resentful."
Your office friendships are great, but don't let them be a substitute for friendships outside of work. Your outside friends won't be affected by office politics, promotions or a change of companies. "People can behave differently when money, power, and careers are at stake," writes Alexandra Levit in her book They Don't Teach Corporate in College.

Working on a series of Doctor Who stories, and put together a title sequence for the final product. Still needs a bit of tweaking such as timing of the text, and possibly the flight of the TARDIS, as well as adding a version of the theme music.
I wanted to create something that would make you think of the Fourth Doctors title sequence, but not quite as advanced as the recent Doctor Who vortex style titles.
Was created using Adobe After Effects, and Autodesk 3dsmax. The audio is just from the AudioSwap library.

Hi I have some questions regarding integrals on manifolds.
1) Let $M_n$ be differentiable orientable manifold. The integral of a differential $n$-form $w$ with compact support is:
Let $(\Omega_i, \varphi_i)$ be an atlas compatible with the orientation chosen, and $\{\alpha_i\}$ be a partition of unity subordinate to $\{\Omega_i\}$. On $\Omega_i$, $w = f_i(x)dx_i^1 \wedge ... \wedge dx_i^n$. The integral is $$\int_M w = \sum_i \int_{\varphi_i(\Omega_i)}[\alpha_i(x)f_i(x)]\circ \varphi_i^{-1}dx^1 \wedge ... \wedge dx^n $$
This definition confuses me. Why do we need the partition of unity and the inverse of the chart map? Since $x^j$ presumeably denotes the coordinates, can't we just do a normal integral $\int f dx^1 ... dx^n$?
2) For a manifold $M$, let $i:\partial M \to M$ be the inclusion map. In Stokes' formula, it is customary to write $\int_{\partial M} w$ to mean $\int_{\partial M} i^*w$.
Can someone explain to me the meaning of this second integral? We are integrating over the boundary of the manifold the integrand which is the pullback of a differential form on $M$. I can't see the intuition at all.

With the upcoming premiere of the third season of True Blood on June 13th, True Blood is in a craze to find out what exactly happened to Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer). Well, at Wondercon, IDW Publishing and HBO announced a comic book series based on the series. Whats really cool is many famous comic book artists are pitchin' in with their own variant covers. My favorite of the bunch would definitely has to be by world-renowned comic artist, J.Scott Campbell (Gen 13, Danger Girl, Wildsiderz). JSC is well know for his brilliant character art work and also for his ability to draw some of the sexiest female characters in comics. Well, apply that talent onto True Blood femme fatales such as Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin) and Jessica Hamby, the sultry vampire (played by Deborah Ann Woll), you got the makings of an awesome cover. Currently, J.Scott Campbell has done a variant cover for volume one and two and the first issue will go on sale in July around the time of San Diego Comic Con.
Hit the jump to check out J.Scott Campbell's variant covers from IDW's True Blood comic!

Tens of thousands of eager participants are jamming the Mass Save Great Appliance Exchange telephone lines, while those turning to the "cash for appliances" program website are getting error messages. The Massachusetts version of the appliance stimulus program, valued at over $6 million in appliance rebates of up to $675 per household, kicked off today at 10 a.m.
The "cash for appliances" rebate is available for purchases made between April 22, 2010 and May 5, 2010, though reservations are first-come, first-served. When the $6 million is gone, the program is over - prompting the massive, early response. Dishwashers carry a $250 rebate, refrigerators a $200 rebate, and freezers bring in a cool $50.
Frustrated would-be appliance rebate participants can turn to Boston-area appliance retailers, including Sears, Lowe's, Home Depot, and smaller stores to learn about inventory. The program requires that participants receive a reservation number, available only through the Mass Save phone number at 1 (877) MA-SWAP-1 or appliance rebate website.

For any Mötley Crüe fans who missed the rock band's goodbye tour when it rolled through Summerfest last year, you've been given one more shot. The band is returning for one final show at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Aug. 7, accompanied once again by special guest Alice Cooper.

After a rough start to Mötley Crüe's "All Bad Things Must Come To An End" tour on Wednesday at the kickoff in Grand Rapids, the party-hardy metal rockers delivered a redeeming second show at Summerfest tonight.

While news of the band's retirement is certainly sad news for any Mötley Crüe fans out there, there is a silver lining to it all. As a part of their global final go-around, the Crüe is making a stop in Milwaukee to kickstart the heart of Summerfest.

Against the background of the beautiful BMO Harris Pavilion, Alice Cooper and crew turned it up for a wind-blown a crowd ready to hear his hits.
