Forge Plunges as Cost Overruns Spur Loss Forecast: Sydney Mover
Forge Group Ltd. plunged a record 84 percent at the close in Sydney trading after forecasting a loss, leading declines among mining-services companies already struggling as mineral producers cut back spending.
Forge, whose clients include Rio Tinto Group, lost more than A$300 million ($274 million) in market value in Sydney today after saying cost overruns and poor management at two Australian projects also forced it to negotiate new debt terms.
KKR & Co.'s Australian mining services company, Bis Industries Ltd., yesterday scrapped plans for an initial public offering, citing unfavorable market sentiment for resource stocks. After the peak of a decade-long commodity boom in Australia, the world's biggest iron ore and coal exporter, resources companies are cutting spending, squeezing suppliers.
"There are very few projects in the energy or the mining sector coming on," Ross MacMillan, an analyst at Morningstar Inc. in Sydney, said by phone. "The customer is in the box seat and they're crunching the margins of these mining-services companies. I don't think you're going to see any sustained pickup in the next two years."
Forge closed at 68.5 cents after resuming from a near month-long suspension. About 99 million shares changed hands today, more than all the Forge stock available to trade at any one time.
Boart Longyear Ltd., which leases drilling equipment, dropped 4.8 percent. Shares of Ausenco Ltd., a provider of construction and engineering services to resources companies, were suspended as it announced a rights offer and said conditions were challenging.
'Increased Pressure'
"There's increased pressure on mining companies to look at their cost base and the first thing they do is cut out all externally managed costs as much as possible," Jason Teh, who helps manage A$5 billion at Investors Mutual Ltd. in Sydney, said by phone. "It's the services companies that feel the brunt of it."
The value of mineral and energy projects being developed in Australia dropped 10 percent to about A$240 billion, reflecting the peaking of the nation's mining boom, the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics said in a report yesterday.
"The current phase of the commodity price cycle is presenting challenges for investment in resources and energy projects," the bureau said in its report. "Forward projections indicate that investment in the resources and energy sectors is likely to decline over the medium term."
The benchmark LMEX Index of the six main base metals on the London Metal Exchange, the biggest bourse for metals trading, has fallen 13 percent in 2013, while the Standard and Poor's 500 Index has jumped 27 percent.
Annual spending by the world's 20 biggest mining companies by market value will drop by about a third to $66 billion in 2015 from 2012, according to forecasts compiled by Bloomberg in September.
The exploration slowdown has left more than half of Boart Longyear's 1,035 drilling rigs unused, the Salt Lake City-based company, which trades in Sydney, said last month.

Financial Inclusion Partnership
Money Advice Service
The Financial Inclusion Partnership works to:
• Improve the financial health and wellbeing of Birmingham citizens
• Close the gap between areas of deprivation and not so deprived areas
• Reduce financial vulnerability in Birmingham.
Many people can't access mainstream financial products such as bank accounts and low-cost loans. They are more likely to use the alternative credit market and pay higher levels of interest, which can lead to poverty and financial and social exclusion.
The West Midlands is one of the areas across the country with significant numbers of people who don't have access to mainstream financial advice, affordable credit or banking.
Partner Organisations
To tackle these problems Birmingham City Council established a Financial Inclusion Partnership to tackle the problem of financial exclusion by working in partnership with key organisations such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, Consumer Credit Counselling Service, Job Centre Plus, Credit Unions, Housing Associations, Banks and Utilities. Visit our partners page to learn more about the organisations that contribute to Birmingham's Financial Inclusion Partnership.
T he Financial Inclusion Partnership helps to facilitate a wide variety of activities across the city, such as Pay Ahead Stay Ahead and the House 2 Home project in Sparkbrook, aimed at teaching people the practical skills they need to live independently, such as DIY, managing a household budget and getting online.
A strategy for tackling financial exclusion
The national Financial Capability Strategy was commissioned by the Money Advice Service to investigate and monitor the effectiveness of solutions to the problem of financial exclusion.
Birmingham's Financial Inclusion Partnership is developing our own Financial Inclusion Strategy and Action Plan, which will appear on this page when complete.
If you would like to find out more about the Financial Inclusion Partnership, or if your organisation would like to get involved and contribute in some way to helping Birmingham's citizens manage their money well, then please drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Superdelegate Role Complicates Re-Election Bid
Related NPR Stories
Freshman Democratic Rep. Jason Altmire looks like he could still suit up in the football jersey that is framed in his outer office.
He might welcome the padding to fend off some of the hits he has taken as an uncommitted superdelegate in a Pennsylvania district where he is facing a tough re-election battle in November.
With the Pennsylvania primary only two weeks away, there is intense pressure on the state's superdelegates, who are being courted by both Democratic candidates, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Altmire says even his constituents are ratcheting up the pressure. "Sen. Obama had a rally in my district on St. Patrick's Day, which I attended, because I make it a point to attend anything that's in my district, and the media reported it. We got a few dozen calls from people supporting Sen. Clinton, saying that you should think twice if you're going to support Sen. Obama."
The message was clear. If Altmire supported Obama, the Clintons' supporters might not back him come November. Altmire is likely to face a tough rematch in his southwestern district with the Republican he ousted from the seat in 2006.
When he returns the calls of the Clinton supporters, Altmire says they frequently tell him that this is Clinton's time and that she has earned this; Obama is young and can afford to wait.
Because Altmire has not yet committed to a candidate, he has heard plenty from both Democratic hopefuls — and their spouses.
"Sen. Obama first called me in June 2007 and asked for my support," he says. "At that time, no one thought Pennsylvania would be relevant. No one thought superdelegates would be relevant. He was already thinking to the long term."
Altmire says Clinton's campaign did not reach out until just before the Texas and Ohio primaries in early March.
Former President Clinton called him twice, reminding Altmire that he won his district when he ran for president, even though it is typically seen as a Republican stronghold.
Of course, Bill Clinton will not be on the ballot in November, and Altmire is worried about the fallout from this race.
"This campaign has gotten to the point where, whatever side I come down on, I am going to alienate voters because there is an animosity that's built up between the two campaigns," he says.
Altmire says he plans to support whoever winds up with the most pledged delegates and the greatest popular vote. He thinks that is likely to be Obama.
But Altmire says whoever ends up with the Democratic nomination will have a tough time in his district in the fall against Arizona Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee.

Korean Grilled Meat on Skewers (Bulgogi)
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 5 mins
Lots of flavor, I have made this also using pork tenderloin. Soak the wooden skewers in water for half an hour to prevent them burning. Marinating time not included. Freezing the meat slightly makes it easier to slice it thin.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless sirloin beef (or other good beef)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 -2 cloves crushed garlic
- 1⁄2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 -4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1⁄3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan over medium heat until brown, let them cool.
- Cut the beef in thin slices.
- Mix all marinade ingredients together, add also the sesame seeds, and to this add the beef.
- Leave to marinate at least 30 minutes, a few hours is preferred.
- Thread the meat on wooden skewers, grill or barbecue a few minutes on each side, using the remaining marinade for basting.
Most Helpful
excellent!i have my own recipe for this but i'm always interested in trying new variations. this is very authentic tasting and you definitely need to grill it because those charred little bits add to the flavor. i used tenderloin and marinated it for 1 hour. keep posting petsrus!
Served with raw garlic slivers, steamed rice and kimchi (or sliced pear for the less adventurous) with lettuce as an "interactive" dinner: DIY lettuce wraps! Delicious!
This was exactly what my husband wanted, some real Korean Bulgogi. He was stationed at Osan AB, ROK for a year (1997 - 1998) and missed this dish. Thanks so much for a keeper. Oh we marinated this over night to make it an easy weeknite dinner. Thanks!

An accommodation beneath contempt . Dirty , leaky shower stall , broken lamps and contacts that did not work . Wifi only worked if you sat out in the yard . We had ants in the kitchen and bathroom.
Fee for cleaning, towels and sheets.
To pay for cleaning when the apartment was so dirty known very irritant . Smaller service oriented staff made it known not worthwhile to go and complain. Would never recommend this accommodation !
Very nice, pieceful and relaxing house.
We really enjoyed the large rooms and terasses outdoor. It is great to have realy furniture inside and outside.
The house is big and especially with a great view but:
- There're no curtains or shutters on the windows
- The sheets are minimal (and not optional)
- The house was quite dirty despite the payment for the cleaning
- The manager of the property accused me to stole one (1) pillowcase the day after we left. The pillowcase has been obviously found after a while, it was left behind during the collecting.
I've enjoyed my stay in Stintino for the sea, the nature, the landscape, but, for a short stay of 4 days, too many thing that didn't work out with the house.
Nice place and great pool. BUT too expensive! Bad kitchenequipments. Expensive sheets and towels. Not value with the money!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was absolutely wonderful! Exactly what you see in pictures, except there isn't actually a balcony. Just a glass door with railings right behind it. The area was by far our favourite in Barcelona. Truly unique and enjoyable to just walk around at any time of the day. The stairs are a frightening first impression, 57 in a small spiral staircase, but still definitely worth the mission. But yes, pack light!
Thank you Maria for your kind hospitality, suggestions and being readily available for anything we needed.
I definitely recommend :)
Very disappointed at the standard of the apartment and the arrival and departure procedure! This apartment was let through Wimdu by Interhome. I will never book anything let by Interhome again. Having made the booking and paid for it we were totally unaware until one week before departure that bed linen and towels were not included and an extra charge was levied (Euro 28 for sheets and 12 for towels). When I challenged Interhome on non disclosure of information they told me it was in the small print: having trawled though every last word I found it in tiny print under Cancellation Policy! Again I challenged Interhome about deliberately placing this important piece of information where nobody will think to look. It should be clearly displayed on the webpage under Amenities where a note can be posted in the relevant area for all to see.
Arrival procedure - what a nonsense. Having paid for the sheets you have to collect them in person from the office. We made it by the skin of our teeth before the office closed for the weekend. Because our flight was delayed we arrived in Chamonix later than expected and had the office been closed we would have had no sheets at all! They are bulky to carry and I have photos of my husband looking like Santa Clause with a big white sack over his shoulder. It's the height of nonsense to expect arrivals to lug luggage and carry this bulky bad around Chamonix. On departure we had to return the sheets to the office again in said bag!
End cleaning - the previous tenant had presumably paid therefore we expected a clean apartment. The hard surfaces were clean but the living room carpet was disgusting with stains and grime and dirty black marks (photographed). It needs either professionally deep cleaned or dumped. Personally I would replace it. My bed sheet had a dirty brown mark on it (photographed) and the "white" patio furniture was grey with grime. I don't think it had been cleaned in years. Before I would set as much as a mug on it I scrubbed it with the dish scrubber (which I then couldn't use on the dishes!). Again we have photographic evidence. The best feature of the apartment is the wonderful view of Mont Blanc from the balcony. I don't know who is employed to clean this apartment but they could do with a lesson or two. I will never use Interhome again and I recommend that you steer clear of it too. I've used Wimdu many times and always been satisfied but not on this occasion.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

When members of the Clyde Volunteer Fire Brigade gathered at
their station recently to respond to a call, they found
themselves in an embarrassing situation.
Though they had managed to scrape together enough members to
turn out a truck, none of the four were qualified to drive
Fortunately the call was to assist a man who had fallen and
broken his leg at the Clyde Dam and the Alexandra volunteer
brigade was able to attend.
Clyde Chief Fire Officer Richard Davidson said daytime
volunteers were hard to come by, as many of the small town's
residents worked out of town.
Though they have 17 people in the brigade, for a weekday
daytime callout usually just three or four people could
respond, and sometimes as few as two. That includes Cromwell
Deputy Chief Fire Officer Neil Gillespie, who works at the
Clyde Dam.
Mr Davidson said while it was great to have Mr Gillespie as a
backup, his work and Central Otago District Council
commitments often meant he also was not in Clyde during the
Orchard worker Chloe Dowling (22) is the brigade's newest
recruit. While she lives in Letts Gully, much closer to
Alexandra than Clyde, she works in Earnscleugh.
Knowing of the volunteer shortage and because of her place of
work, she decided to join the Clyde brigade rather than the
Alexandra one.
Though she admitted to not being so confident at first, she
was increasingly enjoying it.
"There was a bit of self-doubt; you think 'Oh I can't do
that,' but you just keep at it. The brigade is pretty
supportive and though I'm a female, they don't treat me any
In her almost two years with the brigade, she has been to
about 10 callouts, including a kitchen fire at a fellow
brigade member's house.
Running into a burning building is not the bit that scares
her; it is the heat.
She is also "sick of being the newbie".
Both she and Mr Davidson said they would love some new
members, especially ones who were available during the week.
They said it did not even necessarily have to be someone
willing to fight fires but someone who could stay at the
station in a caregiver role if there were others who wanted
to join but had children.
Miss Dowling was involved in the recent incident when the
volunteers were unable to attend the callout at the Clyde
"We turned up but we didn't have a driver. It was
New Zealand Fire Service Central and North Otago area manager
Keith McIntosh said Clyde's problem was not unique.
"What tends to happen in smaller towns throughout New Zealand
is that people go to work in larger adjacent centres."
However, he said brigades within his patch were generally not
too bad in turning out full crews when needed.

To the Editor: Dr Silvestrini and colleagues1 reported a positive association between cerebral
vasoreactivity and risk of stroke in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery
stenosis of at least 70%. Previously, stroke risk has been thought to increase
linearly with increasing blood pressure (BP). However, 2 recent studies2,3 have suggested that there may
be a J-curve relationship between BP level and stroke risk in elderly people
so that not only is there an increase in stroke risk with increasing BP level,
but also an increasing risk below some specific BP value.

Serving Up Plenty To Drink About
Monday March 3rd, 2014 - 5:28PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Ambiente exhibition halls were buzzing, or more appropriately fizzing, in Frankfurt last month about Coca-Cola's $1.3 billion investment in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters.
The move (foreshadowed by the December 2012 appointment of former Coke executive Brian Kelley to the Green Mountain CEO post) is a precursor to a collaboration that will align the forthcoming Keurig Cold beverage system with flavors under Coca-Cola's formidable lineup of beverage brands.
Big Business
It raises a number of questions:
Is this just the beginning of Coca-Cola's plan to acquire Green Mountain outright?
Does it stoke the urgency for SodaStream, the undisputed driver and leader of the home soda maker market, and Pepsi Co. to counterpunch with a similar engagement?
Probably yes to both.
The home carbonation market, successfully built and promoted as the anti-Coke-and-Pepsi, is a big business the big soda brands no longer can afford to ignore. So, they're claiming their stake, to the likely disadvantage of soda maker entrants looking to ride the wave without an affiliation with well-known beverage brands.
Coca-Cola's 10% stake in Green Mountain further confirms the evolution of Keurig from a coffee pure-player into a full-scale resource for a considerably broader home beverage market.
Meanwhile, it is yet another sign that home beverage is poised to continue as one of the most compelling and productive segments in the housewares industry.
Soda. Coffee. Tea. Juice. Water. Wine. Cocktails. Smoothies. Protein Shakes.
Appliances and accessories that cater to these drinks and others have earned dedicated retail spotlights. But to market and merchandise such products in the vacuum of narrow trends could miss the bigger, sustainable opportunity that intersects at a broader lifestyle beverage strategy.
One of the more remarkable growth stories in recent years, for example, has come from on-the-go-beverageware— not long ago the king of promotional giveaways and now one of the hottest outlets for product and marketing innovation. The latest generation of these products have been developed and positioned deftly as lifestyle accessories, not just travel drinkware.
Ambiente wasn't just bubbling from news of Coca-Cola's Green Mountain Coffee/Keurig investment. Buyers drank up the latest round of home beverage-related products. It was an opening act for more of the same at the International Home + Housewares Show this month in Chicago.
Brimming Opportunity
Retailers will see more coffee makers; more wine and cocktail accessories; more soda makers; more juicers; more smoothie makers; more hydration bottles; more beverage infusers; and more and more and more.
Each introduction should be measured on its own merit. The opportunity is brimming, however, to coordinate these categories into even more compelling, lifestyle-fueled home beverage presentations.

Four Packers awarded game balls vs. JetsPosted by on September 15, 2014 – 3:00 pm
The Packers coaching staff has awarded game balls to four players for their performances in the 31-24 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.
Game balls went to WR Jordy Nelson on offense, DT Mike Daniels on defense and K Mason Crosby and LB Andy Mulumba on special teams.
Nelson set a career high with 209 receiving yards, including an 80-yard TD that broke a 24-all tie. He became the first Packers player with a 200-yard receiving game since 2004, and his 209 yards tied him for the fourth-highest single-game total in franchise history. Nelson's 80-yard TD also tied him with Greg Jennings for the most TD receptions of 80-plus yards in a Packers career (four).
Daniels was a disruptive force all game, being credited (press box statistics) with five solo tackles, including two for loss, and a sack. His hit on Jets QB Geno Smith in the second quarter produced a fluttering pass that was picked off by CB Tramon Williams.
Crosby made all three of his FG attempts, including a 55-yarder that was the longest by a Packers kicker ever at Lambeau Field. He has now made 18 straight FGs, dating back to last season. Crosby also kicked four of seven kickoffs for touchbacks.
Mulumba was credited with one special teams tackle but later left the game with a knee injury.

Packers elect six playoff captainsPosted by on January 1, 2014 – 4:50 pm
The Packers have voted for and selected their captains for the 2013 postseason.
Unlike some teams, Green Bay doesn't have season-long captains but chooses captains during the regular season on a weekly basis to go out for the coin toss. For the postseason, these six players will serve as captains and wear a "C" patch on their jerseys for as long as the Packers season continues.
They are QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Jordy Nelson on offense, LB A.J. Hawk and S Morgan Burnett on defense, and K Mason Crosby and CB Jarrett Bush on special teams.
This is the first time for Nelson and Burnett to be chosen as playoff captains. Rodgers leads the way with five selections now, followed by Bush with four, and Hawk and Crosby with three apiece.
Nelson has set career highs this season in both receptions (85) and receiving yards (1,314). Hawk led the team in tackles with 153, the seventh time in eight seasons he has either finished first or second on the team in that category. Hawk also posted a career-high five sacks.
Burnett finished second on the team with 104 tackles despite missing the first three games due to injury. Bush had seven tackles and one forced fumble on the coverage units, while Crosby posted the highest field-goal percentage of his seven-year career at 89.1 percent, making 33 of 37 field goals.

Five players earn game balls vs. CowboysPosted by on December 16, 2013 – 5:09 pm
The Packers coaching staff awarded game balls to five players for their performances against the Cowboys on Sunday.
On offense, QB Matt Flynn and RB Eddie Lacy were the recipients. Flynn completed 26 of 39 passes for 299 yards with four TDs and one INT for a 113.1 passer rating. He led the offense to five consecutive touchdown drives in the second half.
Lacy rushed 21 times for 141 yards and a TD and added 30 yards on four receptions. He went over 1,000 rushing yards for the season, and at 1,028 he's closing in on John Brockington's franchise rookie record of 1,105 yards set in 1971. The rushing TD was also Lacy's eighth of the season, already a team rookie record.
On defense, CBs Sam Shields and Tramon Williams were awarded game balls. The duo combined for 14 tackles, and they each had an interception of Dallas QB Tony Romo in the last three minutes of the game.
Shields' pick, his third of the season, gave the Packers the ball at midfield, down 36-31 with 2:46 left, and set up the go-ahead TD drive. Williams' interception, also his third of the season, came with 1:22 left and ended any comeback hopes for the Cowboys after they had fallen behind, 37-36.
K Mason Crosby was the game-ball recipient on special teams. Crosby kicked five touchbacks on seven kickoffs and was good on a 57-yard FG, his fifth FG of 50-plus yards this season.

Eddie Lacy, Mason Crosby earn NFC monthly awardsPosted by on October 31, 2013 – 9:24 am
Packers RB Eddie Lacy has been named the NFC Offensive Rookie of the Month for October, while K Mason Crosby has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month.
In four games in October — all Green Bay wins — Lacy had 97 carries for 395 yards and two TDs. He averaged 4.1 yards per carry. He also added 11 receptions out of the backfield for 47 yards, giving him 442 yards from scrimmage in four games. That's an average of 110.5 yards from scrimmage per game.
Crosby made 13 of 15 field goal attempts in the month and all 11 of his extra points for a total of 50 points. He tied a franchise record with five field goals against Detroit in Week 5 and then added four more field goals the following week at Baltimore.
Five of Crosby's field goals in the month were from 45 yards or longer, with his two misses coming from 44 and 52 yards. He also added three touchbacks on kickoffs this past week at Minnesota when he took over kickoff duties against dangerous Vikings returner Cordarrelle Patterson.
This is the second time in his career that Crosby has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month. He also won the award in November of his rookie year in 2007.

Entire offense, Daniels, Crosby awarded game balls vs. MinnesotaPosted by on October 30, 2013 – 9:00 am
The Packers coaching staff awarded game balls to the entire offense, to DE Mike Daniels and to K Mason Crosby from the 44-31 victory at Minnesota.
The offense scored every time it touched the ball — five touchdowns and three field goals — until kneeling down on its final possession. The Packers piled up 464 total yards — 285 passing from QB Aaron Rodgers and 182 rushing, with RBs Eddie Lacy (94 yards) and James Starks (57) combining for 151 of those. WR Jordy Nelson had seven receptions for 123 yards, including a 76-yard TD.
Daniels, the second-year defensive end from Iowa, was the game-ball recipient on defense. Daniels sacked Minnesota QB Christian Ponder twice, the first two-sack game of Daniels' career. The effort doubled his season sack total to four.
Crosby, the special teams award winner, was 3-for-3 on field goals, from 30, 20 and 45 yards, and made all five of his PATs for 14 total points. Crosby also took over on kickoffs after the Vikings' Cordarrelle Patterson returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Crosby's directional kickoffs helped to keep Patterson in check the rest of the game.

Mason Crosby named NFC Special Teams Player of the WeekPosted by on October 9, 2013 – 9:54 am
Packers K Mason Crosby has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week following his 5-for-5 day on field goals last Sunday vs. Detroit.
Crosby made kicks from 26, 52, 31, 42 and 45 yards in the Packers' 22-9 victory, improving his mark to 9-for-9 on the season. A Packers kicker hadn't made five field goals in a game in 13 years, and he tied the franchise record for most in a single game, matching Chris Jacke (who did it twice, in 1990 and 1996) and Ryan Longwell (2000).
Crosby has now made 13 straight field goals in the regular season, dating back to 2012. Including last year's two playoff games, he has made 15 in a row. Crosby holds the franchise record with 23 consecutive field goals made in the regular season, which he set from Week 13 of 2010 through Week 12 of 2011.
This marks the fifth time in his career that Crosby has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, and the first time since Week 7 of 2011.

I wandered lonely as a Cloud (Daffodils)
by William Wordsworth
Analysis: Tough-o-Meter
(2) Sea Level
One of Wordworth's big innovations in poetry was to write, as he said in his preface of his Lyrical Ballads, in the "real language of Men," and about "incidents and situations in common life." "I wandered lonely as a Cloud," with its simple subject and language, is an example of this philosophy in action. Aside from a few words like "jocund," "margin," and "sprightly," Wordsworth doesn't try to sound like a fancy-pants.

Kindle Edition
Pictures of the Past is a compelling saga sweeping through Chicago, Paris and Berlin, reliving events from pre-World War II Europe, but beginning in contemporary times. An Impressionist painting, hanging for decades in the Art Institute of Chicago and donated by the charismatic philanthropist Taylor Woodmere, is challenged by an elderly woman as a Nazi theft. Taylor's gripping and passionate story takes us back to 1937. Sent to Paris on family business, he reluctantly leaves his girlfriend Emily, a spoiled debutante from Newport, Rhode Island. But once in Europe, he immediately falls in love – first with an Henri Lebasque painting, and then with the enchanting Sarah Berger of Berlin. After Taylor returns home, the Berger family becomes trapped in the Nazi web, and any attempts for the new lovers to be reunited are thwarted. Interwoven with this narrative is the story of Rachel Gold, a beautiful and bright Chicago girl caught up in the times of the late 1960's. Pregnant and abandoned by her boyfriend Court Woodmere, Taylor's son, she moves to New York to live with her aunt, a Holocaust survivor. Years later, as the controversy surrounding the provenance of the painting becomes public, Rachel's grown son is disturbed by his inexplicable familiarity with the work of art. And it is only Taylor Woodmere who can unravel the complicated puzzle of their lives. With a heart-grabbing ending, Pictures of the Past is historical fiction at its best, giving a personalized window to the powerful events and intriguing venues of the eras. From a world torn by the horrors of war, a love story emerges that endures through years of separation.
Editorial ReviewNo editorial review at this time.
ExcerptGerta Rosen
September 2004
Slamming her hands on the rotating tires of her wheelchair, she abruptly stopped its slow progression. "It can't be." Her words were soft and almost unintelligible at first. "Oh, my God." She spoke louder now and the small group with her, previously drawn in many directions, began to form a circle around her. "It just can't be." Louder still and more disturbed, her accent became thicker with each repetition, as she searched out her eldest daughter. "Darlene, now...please...I need you. Come. I need you to read me the plaque." ... view entire excerpt...
Discussion Questions1. Pictures of the Past illustrates our constant striving to maintain endearing human relationships despite the challenges of life, from simple trials of young love to the complex terrors and heartbreak of war. Discuss the many examples of this within the book.
2. What effect do family heritage and expectations play in a person's development? Do "only children" bear an added weight of responsibility in a family? And just as with the lineage of a work of art, what impact does our provenance have on our future?
3. Explain the many references that could have created the title, Pictures of the Past.

Approaches to Teaching Shakespeare's Hamlet
- Editor: Bernice W. Kliman
- Pages: xiv & 291 pp.
- Published: 2002
- ISBN: 9780873527675 (Cloth)
- ISBN: 9780873527682 (Paperback)
"[These] essays leave the reader with a sense that the strategies our colleagues are applying are consistently stimulating. Indeed, this is a volume that is teeming with ideas, a volume that is bound to be well received by the many of us who are looking for new ways into the provocative world of Hamlet."
For centuries Hamlet has been a source of inspiration for readers and audiences. The play's characters fascinated Romantic critics from Goethe to Coleridge, its themes interested psychoanalytic theorists from Freud to Lacan, and its ideas have engaged recent scholars of all schools. Teachers regard Shakespeare's great tragedy as rewarding, challenging, and ideal for classroom instruction and performance.
This volume, like others in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, is divided into two parts. The first part, "Materials," culls from thousands of works on Hamlet those editions, anthologies, reference materials, films, and Web sites that will be of greatest help to teachers. The second part, "Approaches," presents a wide array of techniques for presenting the play to students—textual approaches, performance strategies, comparative and postmodern methodologies. Unique to this Approaches volume are twenty short takes—exercises, syllabus additions, and tips for teaching Hamlet.

Please read the statements below regarding computer replacement guidelines and check the acknowledgement box below.
1. Computer Choice: Before You Click Submit!
Are you absolutely sure of your computer choice? Each computer platform has its own unique interface. Ask yourself:
- Have I tested the interface of my choice to make sure I'm comfortable?
- If I want to switch from a PC to a Mac or vice versa, will the applications that I run work well on the different operating system? (The Help Desk is happy to loan you a laptop for a week to test out a new OS.)
- Have I consulted with my area technician or the Help Desk on whether or not this platform is capable of running all of the applications and software programs I require for my work?
- Do I currently have a computer that was upgraded from the standard configuration when it was ordered? If so, I need to consult with my area technician to be sure my new computer choice will work for me.
Once you order your computer, it cannot be returned or swapped, so please consult with a technician or the Help Desk if you are unsure!
Help Desk: x7900 or firstname.lastname@example.com
2. Standard Configurations
- As technology changes, ITS updates the selected models of standards for Apple, HP and Dell to have the specifications that best meet general university technical needs. Make sure the system you select meets your needs! While some computer specifications get better, others may decrease. All of our standard model computers include SSD hard drives which are smaller than the hard drives in older computers. Check with your technician if you need help verifying that the new computer will meet your needs!
- Employees and their departments may choose to upgrade from our standard specifications. Employees must obtain approval from their supervisor and budget authority and must provide a POETS for the difference in cost. ITS does not take personal checks for upgrades. Please note that if an employee reimburses their department for the difference in cost with personal funds, the computer is still considered a university computer and will be treated the same as other leased computers (replaced every three years and returned to the lease company).
- When an upgraded computer is ordered, it will be placed under the lease program of ITS
3. Computers are University Property
- All computers are the property of the university. Supervisors and/or budget approvers are to notify ITS when an employee is departing so that we can assess the situation regarding the computer assigned to that position.
- Faculty and staff in possession of university owned equipment are responsible for its protection from theft and damage.
- Any equipment that stops functioning NOT due to misuse or negligence will be repaired or replaced by ITS at no cost to the department. Any equipment damaged beyond normal wear and tear or by misuse/negligence (i.e. dropped or crushed, or spilled upon) must be repaired or replaced using department funds.
- LAPTOPS: The portability of laptops make them particularly susceptible to theft and require a high degree of care. Replacement at no cost to your department of a stolen device will only be considered if taken from a locked desk, cabinet or office and there are signs of forced entry, or if it was secured with a locking cable.
- ITS strongly suggests the following when caring for laptops:
- Treat it like cash
- If you had a wad of money, would you leave it in the car (even if locked) or put it in checked luggage? Keep a careful eye on your laptop just as you would a pile of money.
- Keep it off the floor
- No matter where you are in public – at a conference, a coffee shop, or a registration desk – avoid putting your laptop on the floor. If you must put it down, place it between your feet or at least up against your leg, so you're aware of it.
- Get it out of the car
- Don't leave it in the backseat or locked in a trunk – parked cars are a favorite target for laptop thieves. Just take it in with you when running an errand on the way home.
- Keep it locked
- DO NOT keep your laptop on your desk overnight or over a weekend, even with your office door locked.
- Take your laptop with you when you leave for the day, or at the very least, lock in a filing cabinet inside your office.
- Keep your passwords elsewhere
- Leaving your password on the laptop or in the carrying case is like leaving the keys in your car.
- Pay attention at airports
- Keep your eye on your laptop as you go through security until it emerges on the other side of the screener.
- Don't leave it, even "for just a minute"
- If you leave for meetings, class or for lunch, it's best to take your laptop with you. At the very least, however, lock it away in a cabinet. Do not leave it on your desk, even behind a locked door.
If your computer is stolen or missing, contact USD Public Safety (619-260-7777 or email@example.com) or the local police department if not on campus immediately to file a theft report. Also, please notify the Help Desk when this occurs (619-260-7900 or email@example.com). The university installs Computrace on every laptop. Computrace will trace laptops if they call in. This can help with retrieval
Please complete the form below if you are a new faculty or staff member at the university. If you do not know your USD-assigned extension or office location at this time, please leave those fields blank.

A Sleuth in a Bygone Era
Palace Council
By Stephen L. Carter
Knopf, 514 pages, $26.95
Yale law professor Stephen L. Carter's latest novel is a murder mystery, political thriller and picaresque journey through American cultural upheavals, running from Brown v. Board of Education to Watergate. The hero, Eddie Wesley, is a writer whose books are celebrated works of Negro identity, but two incidents far from literary matters dominate his life. On a snowy night in Harlem in 1955, he stumbles over the body of a well-dressed white man. A leather garrote is cinched around the man's neck, and his dead hand clutches an unusual crucifix. Two years later, Eddie is further shaken: His sister disappears from a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike.
The Harlem murder victim, it turns out, comes from a band of powerful men, white and black, who plan to fight for racial equality by planting one of their own in the White House. Eddie's sister has slipped into an underground sect out to combat Klan activities in the South. Investigating the fates of these two brings Eddie into contact with a bevy of historical figures, including FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who threatens him with espionage charges; Joe Kennedy Sr., who supplies a clue to his sister's flight; and President Kennedy, who hires him as a speechwriter. Eddie visits Saigon just before the Tet Offensive, attends a Students for a Democratic Society convention and delivers an oration on the Washington Mall to thousands who've gathered after the Kent State shootings.
It's a hokey tale, salted with predictable period references -- how Eddie missed Woodstock is a mystery -- but "Palace Council" is entertaining nonetheless. And Mr. Carter's storytelling is underpinned by a masterly evocation of the world of wealthy and accomplished blacks in 20th-century America. As in his two previous novels, "The Emperor of Ocean Park" and "New England White," he explores the clubs, salons and secret societies where African-American capitalists and intellectuals gathered. The social scene, as he dissects it, could be just as rigid as anything Edith Wharton conjured about the Gilded Age.
More Books
- "My Three Fathers": Bill Patten Jr. tries to make sense of the multiple paternity he learned of late in life.
- Five Best: The author of "Fathers and Sons: The Autobiography of a Family" picks the best father-son memoirs.
- "Brilliant Women": A story of a group of friends who met in London beginning in the 1750s.
- "Enlightenment": Novelist Maureen Freely tracks the lives of a handful of friends in Istanbul, half of them Turkish and half American.
- "The Trouble Begins at 8": A lively illustrated biography of Mark Twain.
This effort to resurrect a forgotten past gives "Palace Council" a slightly didactic tone, but it also adds interest: For many readers, it will be a jolt to see a black haute bourgeoisie during Jim Crow times. It also enhances the mystery. Eddie's quest to find out more about the murdered man leads him into conflict with a scion of the Harlem elite. When the action shifts to Washington, Eddie dines with President Nixon, trying but failing to untangle Nixon's relationship with the racial-equality intriguers. And when Eddie finally tracks down his sister -- now a pathetic fugitive from the FBI -- he realizes that she has been protected all along by several well-connected black women.
In the end, Eddie remains on the fringes of black political power and social influence. As one character tells him: "You think because you've lived here four years and written a couple of novels that makes you an expert. But Harlem has been around a long time, Eddie, and it has secrets it doesn't yield without a fight."
Mr. Bauerlein is the author of "Negrophobia: A Race Riot in Atlanta, 1906" and, most recently, "The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future."

This plugin, from what I can tell, only allows a flat rate or table rate (using price or weight) for shipping. I ship by size, so this is a problem. How can I either add an individual shipping cost to each item or use the table rate according to size?
Or, is there another plugin I should be using? (besides the e-commerce one. I don't like its format)

I would never go to this pawn ...Posted: 2/7/2012
I would never go to this pawn shop again. I have been there twice, the first time, they offered me half the price for the gold I was selling that I had been offered elsewhere and the second time, I was trying to get a loan and was using my grandmother's wedding ring set, that had been previously appraised. It is a one carrot flawless diamond with 1/4 baggets and in a platinum setting. They tried to tell me that the stone was man made and did not want to except the ring. I then took it to two other stores just to verify that the stone was in fact real, which it is. These people obviously do not know how to run their business and I would NEVER go there again for any reason!

After nearly a year in Afghanistan, nearly 70 soldiers have returned home to Fort Carson. The soldiers are members of the second brigade combat team.
While in Afghanistan, the troops worked to help train the Afghan National Security Forces. The training in Farah City included foot patrols and traffic control.
Soldiers say there was a lot of progress made in during their deployment.
"It was about a 10 month deployment and all of the soldiers did a wonderful job. We had great successes out there. So, we are happy to be back with our families," Command Sergeant Major Yolanda Tate.

Prices continued to strengthen across all categories at the
South Island wool sale in Christchurch yesterday.
A combination of cancelled sales, less volume,and good demand
created good competition in the auction room, Roger Fuller,
of Elders Primary Wool, said.
Lambs wool was strongly sought after, while Chinese types,
finer than 35 micron, showed strong competition among
Good and poorer style fleece wools were 2% to 5% dearer,
crossbred hogget and crossbred finer ewe fleece (34 micron
and finer) lifted 3% to 4% on a limited volume, Dave
Burridge, of PGG Wrightson Wool, said.
Lambs wool was up 2% to 4%, crossbred second-shear fleece
lifted 2% to 3% and oddments were up 2% to 5% dearer.
The main interest came from China, Australasia and India,
supported by the Middle East, Western Europe and the United
Westpac's latest agri update said coarse wool prices had
stabilised over the past few weeks, after trending lower in
the early part of the year.
Tight supplies globally, combined with the gradually
improving outlook for growth in developed countries, such as
the EU and United States, should see a period of relative
stability in prices.

The Wait
- Studio: Monterey Media
- Release Date: Jan 31, 2014
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
An art film whose seductive qualities don't entirely erase the suspicion that its weirder elements might be empty affectation.
The payoff isn't nearly as interesting as the cryptic set-up and disquieting performances and scenes that precede it in The Wait.
Writer-director M. Blash's sophomore film is ethereal and trippy, told less in scenes than in oblique snatches, not unlike the experience of emotional paralysis. This approach grows wearying.
While Blash intends The Wait to be a study in stasis, depicting emotional paralysis in various forms, the thin, amorphous nature of both this film and Lying suggest that he simply doesn't have much to offer apart from uncontextualized moodiness.

Mar 11, 2014The Wait is the type of independent drama that the critics always love and that I usually hate. I decided to watch it though, because of oneThe Wait is the type of independent drama that the critics always love and that I usually hate. I decided to watch it though, because of one very special cast member, who is really coming into his own, Devon Gearhart. Even since I saw this young man in the movie Canvas, I knew he was really something special. Gearhart's unique ability to get the viewers to empathize with whatever character he is playing, gives him a strength that very few actors have. I knew from the description that the character of Ben, in The Wait, was a perfect outlet for him to express this ability and he does not disappoint. As for the rest of the film, it is a dark, eclectic film, full of odd symbolism and strange music, that to be honest is a bit over my head, but it's also a film that most audiences can relate to. The family portrayed, whose last name we never know, is pulling together and preparing for the tragic death of their terminally ill mother. The family is preparing themselves for the worst, that could happen any day, when they come in contact with a psychic. The psychic tells them that their mother is special and destine to come back from the grave, leading the family to not only hold off on making any funeral plans, but the prediction leads them to prepare a welcome home party. As I said the storyline is strange, the film is full of strange symbolism, and it moves rather slowly, but the cast here is unbelievable. Aside from Gearhart's out of this world performance, that will leave even the toughest person in tears, both Chloe Sevigny and Jena Malone are fantastic as the two eldest sisters. The sisters, always at odds are trying to pull themselves together for the inevitable, but are once again drawn apart by the psychic's prediction, leading to a dramatic rift in the storyline. The bottom line is, that The Wait, isn't a film for me, but I can see many people really enjoying it. The story is unique, the performances are terrific, and the future of Hollywood may be on display in this relatively unknown masterpiece.… Full Review »

|Free Republic 3rd Quarter Fundraising Target: $88,000
|Receipts & Pledges to-date: $24,202
|Woo hoo!! And the first 27% is in!! Thank you all very much!! God bless.
Posted on 07/01/2004 1:12:23 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
Howdy everyone,
Are you ready for a FReepathon?
The state of our FR is strong!
Our big legal bill is now paid off and our budgetary requirements are now reduced. For the first time in our history, our monthly donations are now bringing in more than 50% of our quarterly budget! Thanks to our generous membership and the settlement with the City of Fresno, we now have a comfortable cash buffer and should have no problems meeting our coming tax payments and other obligations.
I've recalculated our estimated budget requirements for the remainder of the year and have posted them here:
We just completed the first loop of our nationwide tour and we had a great time! We traveled through eleven states in three weeks and FReeped with, met with and dined with FReepers in ten cities and from at least a dozen chapters. It's great to see all our old friends again and to meet new ones. Joining a gathering of FReepers is just like going a family reunion. Very warm and friendly and just like home. Thank you all so much for your gracious hospitality and friendship!
We hope to visit all fifty states and most of our chapters within the next year or so. We hope to visit our LA Chapter on the 1st of August to tour the Reagan Library. We hope to visit our San Diego Chapter sometime this month to welcome home the USS Ronald Reagan. We're also planning a Pacific Northwest Tour in August. In January, we're planning a trip across the South and down into Florida and then up the Eastern Coast to Washington, DC for the Free Republic George W Bush Inaugural Ball II!! Woo hoo!!
Well, with the war in Iraq all but concluded, the trial of the Butcher of Iraq about to start, and the election season heating up, I'm sure that FR is going to be THE place to be to get the very latest in news and conservative discussion in the coming months.
Thank you FReepers for making FR the premier conservative forum on the Internet!
Looking forward to the coming campaign season! Good luck to all and may the very best people be chosen to lead our great nation!
Thank God for our successes thus far in the war for freedom and may He guide us through to complete victory over tyranny and terrorism.
Thank you and may God bless you all.
Hi Jim! Guess what? I have INCREASED MY MONTHLY just for this FReep-a-thon. Do you think any other FReepers will make good use of their blessings in this booming economy and follow my lead?
Always proud to contribute to a WORTHY cause,
He's MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John is redesigning and rebuilding that part of the software. He meant to have it ready to go by now but didn't make it.
Well it's not a spring cleaning .. just the normal everyday cleaning
I have a vacuum cleaner on every floor .. so I don't have to lug it up and down the stairs .. same with cleaning products
If a dish, bowl, pot, whatever can't be cleaned in a dish washer .. I don't use it.
I started buying the wrinkle free shirts, so I don't iron the hubby's shirts and if I have to iron .. I send it to the dry cleaners around the corner .. gotta keep the economy going ya know :0)
I moved the computer to the kitchen .. so I stopped burning dinner
Oh and the most import part .. tell the kids to pick up their crap or I'll vacuum it up or throw it out
After a couple times .. they picked up the hint that I meant what I said *L*
Prove it................
Thank you smokeyb!!
Hi Glock!
Much, much better, thanks -- almost normal.
Still wearing the collar and taking the nerve pills, but no surgery anticipated.:-)
How are things with you and the family (and the dogs)?
Thank you, ChuckHam!
Just in:
$100 from Florida
$20 from Texas
Thank you Florida and Texas!!
All of the above!
Thank You StrictTimet!!
We understand - just looking for stuff to talk about!!!!!
Well, thank you very much, StrictTime!!
Sounds like you've got a great system worked out.
I've got one also - I only have one floor and no carpets..........no extra anything!!!!!
The diswasher will be coming soon.........I've already designed the extra cabinet so I can put in a built in one - which is majorly less expensive than a protable one.
Thanks, Jim -- I wondered where it went.
It was meant as a joke my FRiend - just a joke......
TOO, TOO funny!!!!!!!!
Now that is the ideal house .. I want one of those
But I'm stuck in my townhouse
The real estate around my way has shot up BIG time and I'm not interested in getting a job to pay for a new home .. I like being a kept women :0)
Oh baby ... NICE !!! :0)
Yep ... shut the place down
My pleasure ! :^D
Thought all of you wonderful Monthly Donors would enjoy reading Jim's post.
Thank you, Monthly Donors!
I like being a kept woman also!!!!
The only thing I miss about the townhouse we sold last year was the extra closet space. I learned to do with a whole lot less!!!!
No ad thread, no bot!
That's great news, Rotti.
We're doing good... spending lots of time in the mountains, fihsing, it's been really mild start of summer, so we've been out enjoying it. The dawgs are doing fine, too.
We only have one pine tree left, so the black lab really has to scrounge to find a pine cone these days. Big dawg is still, well, big. We put him on a diet of low-carb mailmen, and he's down to about 155. Our Joe Cocker spaniel has perfected being underfoot, without being squished. Makes for some interesting impromptu dancing when it's dark :o)
I'll take him please. Will you be shipping by UPS or FedEx?
A friend of mine just bought a single home near here and she was saying the same thing .. but with a few adjustments, she managed to get things to fit in the closets
I am you!
Thank You Monthly Freepers
Y'all ROCK!!!
Awesome news! Thanks for the ping.
Clearly I like your taste.
I am the egg man,
I am the walrus coo coo cah cho.
There is no free lunch. And, I could not use this site as a bum.
I like the convenience of the monthly cc; And Jim always acknowledges thanks me.
I like that.
Thank you, Norm!
The blue roses are really beautiful . . . the girl is, too.
Glad you are on board. Gabz makes me feel normal. Whatever that is!
Reminds me I forgot dessert.
I can't spell
It's not that easy. For starters, I have to interview you.
