The 2010 season has just ended, well at least for some teams, and the race to become the national champion in 2011 is now in full gear as coaches around the country look for those athletes that will transform their program from "also ran status" to "legitimate contender."
With National Letter of Intent Signing Day more than a month away, West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart and his staff have secured the services of 3-star outside linebacker Joshua Francis and appear to be on the verge of attracting another junior college standout.
Francis, who attended Lackawanna Junior College, turned down offers from Kansas State, Oregon and Rutgers to become the first member of the Class of 2011 to sign a letter of intent.
Scout.com's Scott Kennedy describes the 6-foot, 2-inch (213 pound) linebacker as "an outside linebacker with good top speed, it's not uncommon to see Francis chase down a wide receiver. A fluid athlete, Francis has a very good change of direction whether it's turning his hips in coverage or turning the corner on a blitz around a tackle".
The addition of Francis couldn't have come at a better time for a Mountaineer defense which half of its two-deep at the linebacking position. Playing their final games for the old gold and blue in the Champs Sports Bowl were seniors Anthony Leonard, Pat Lazear and J.T. Thomas.
Francis is expected to be in Morgantown when classes resume in January and be cleared to participate in spring drills.
Reports on Monday also had Jeff Casteel and the defense receiving the services of another high-profile junior college player-Iowa Western's Shaq Rowell.
At 6-foot, 3-inches and 300 pounds the Cleveland, Ohio-native would appear to be the answer to WVU's need for a replacement for all-Big East nose tackle Chris Neild.
While an official Letter of Intent has not been sighted, expectations are strong that Rowell will be enrolled for the spring semester and will join Francis and the rest of the Mountaineer prevent unit for spring drills.
Making all of this news even more interesting is the coaching uncertainty that presently surrounds the program.
Head-coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen is expected to be on campus when students report back from their holiday break and one has to wonder what impact the "offensive-minded" coach will have on any future recruits the staff will bring into Morgantown.
Or will the former-Oklahoma State offensive coordinator sit back and allow Stewart and his returning staff to make this their final recruiting class. In the dog-eat-dog world of NCAA D-I football, it is hard to believe that an incoming head coach will allow his predecessor to bring in a class that will not meet the needs of the coach that will eventually be expected to win with them.
Mountaineer fans understand what one bad class can do to a program and after back-to-back years in which WVU's incoming class was rated among the Top 25 in the country, they aren't going to accept anything, but the best.
And, why should they?
Stewart's predecessor proved that WVU can be a player in the national championship race.

Heartland Coalition RFP for Challenge Grant
Highlands County Coalition for the Homeless is the lead agency in a Continuum of Care supporting six counties in Central Florida. We support various service providers through education, coordination, and hands-on help as we serve homeless and at-risk individuals. Each person in our community makes a difference.
It is easy to overlook how much a person's daily life impacts our community. Whether one shops in local businesses, visits a physician, participates in a house of worship, volunteers at a child's school, or pays rent to a local landlord- the contributions just one person makes are nearly incalculable. We help prevent and end homelessness so that individuals may continue or resume positive contributions to our community.
Homelessness transcends race, gender, age, family status and educational background. It is a reality for urban, mid-sized and rural communities. Often, when one thinks of homelessness, he/she recalls past trips to large cities, but smaller communities are struggling, too. As many as seven in ten Americans are one paycheck away from homelessness.
Homeless people are not a monolith. A "one size fits all" solution does not exist.
We partner with service providers in our region, and are seeking to assist even more. No service organization is right for EVERY individual seeking assistance, but through cooperation and teamwork, homelessness is often preventable. With support, it is reversable. There are numerous opportunities to assist those in need, or help us do so. Join with us to end homelessness and create a beautiful, welcoming, and prosperous Central Florida.

Kids are immediately drawn to this unique wagon, which easily converts from a pull sled to a wagon and back. The Grasshopper is perfect for one or two children, with an innovative design that turns heads everywhere you go. The seat of hand-carved willow has a comfortable, tilted back rest, and the side rails make it easy to hold on. The deck is made of 5/8" thick birch planks, joined together in a durable tongue-and-groove joint. Your child is always facing forward, so they can fully enjoy the ride. And, kids love knowing they can get in and out of the wagon (or sled) on their own. A marine-grade finish protects the wood of the wagon, and all screws and bolts are of stainless steel for durability. The rugged steel undercarriage is powder-coated, and the solid rubber tires need no maintenance. A padded collar on the bottom of the handle prevents pinching at the front of the wagon. For sledding, the Grasshopper comes with a custom-molded plastic skid that provides a slippery but stable surface. The skid can be easily removed and replaced with wagon wheels. The Grasshopper wagon meets all USC and ASTM child safety standards. Assembly is easy - the Grasshopper comes fully assembled as a sled. Converting it to a wagon takes five minutes, and involves removing the screws that attach the plastic skid to the bottom, then attaching the 7 bolts that connect the undercarriage to the wooden top, plus the bolt that attaches the extra-long handle. Bambino Pad is included so your child can sit comfortably. Measures 36"L x 15" W x 19" H, 32 lbs. Patent-pending; imported. Weight limit: 300 lbs. Age range: 1 year and up. Adult assembly required..

Awarded conjointly by Regis College and the University of Toronto
Applicants with an MDiv or an equivalent degree with at least a B+ average may register through Regis College for the ThM program, which may be pursued on a part-time basis. Language requirements vary by department, as noted in the TST ThM Handbook. Designed to deepen the student's knowledge of theology and to further their preparation for doctoral study or pastoral ministry, the ThM offers two study options.
Option One: a program of six advanced level semester courses with a thesis. The course of studies consists of four courses in an area of major interest and one course in each of two other areas (ancillary, if possible, to the thesis). This option should be selected by students who wish to prepare for doctoral studies.
Option Two: a program of eight semester courses with an extended major paper. Six courses are to be selected in the area of major interest, two in areas of minor interest. At least four of the courses must be at the advanced level; up to four may be 3000-level courses with the provision that no 3000-level course can be taken where a 6000-level course is available. This program should be selected by those focused on pastoral ministry. Option two does not provide the basis for entry into the TST doctoral programs. Students with an appropriate background sometimes develop a concentration in Spiritual Direction in conjunction with option two of the ThM program.
All students are required to maintain an electronic portfolio that documents their progress through their programs.
For more information about the ThM program and admissions procedures, please refer to the TST Website.

One Fruita man has taken the liberty of putting up his own campaign sign - pulling for legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen.
Dale Unrein made this sign for the 2000 election when he said the country needed a change and he decided to put it back up for this year's election.
Unrein is a registered republican but says he's not pleased with either presidential candidate, although he says he likes what Springsteen stands for.
Unrein says he's decided not to vote in next week's election.

Asian Tribune is published by World Institute For Asian Studies|Powered by WIAS Vol. 12 No. 1590
Analysis & Opinion: President Nasheed's no-nonsense SAARC speech
When an outspoken Maldives' President Mohamed Nasheed made a no-nonsense remark on Indo-Pakistan strained relations, urging the neighbours to mend ties -- it did jolt the SAARC audience.
Throwing diplomacy to the skies, Nasheed seized the opportunity, and spoke his heart out.
"I hope that neighbours can find ways to compartmentalize pending differences, while finding areas on which they can move forward."
And he did not stop at that:
"I am specifically referring to differences between India and Pakistan," the President added.
Naheed "created a flutter" IANS reported following his address to the 16th SAARC summit in Bhutanese Capital, Thimphu.
The Press Trust of India called it is "unusual" for the Maldives to talk bilateral ties in the multilateral forum of SAARC.
And, NDTV said President Nasheed's comment was the only thing that ever "stirred" the audience, in the entire 25 year old history of SAARC.
"Today, for the first time in 25 years, a member state took India and Pakistan head on, blaming them on making SAARC virtually non functional," it reported.
Before the summit started, there were ceremonies which depicted Bhutanese culture that "stirred the heart," Rediff News reported on the SAARC summit.
"But inside the Grand Assembly Hall of Bhutan, except for Maldives President Mohammed Nasheed's no-nonsense remark about India and Pakistan bringing their spat at SAARC, nothing could stir the audience," it added.
However, the President's Office told the Asian Tribune that the character of Nasheed is such that he would not miss out on an opportunity to tackle the single most pressing issue in the region –Indo- Pakistan strained relations.
"He is known to speak his mind and it would be remiss of him to pass over the single most biggest issue [in the region] at such an opportune occasion," Press Secretary for the President Office, Mohamed Zuhair said.
President Nasheed's "speeches are off the cuff" and only "some are based on talking points and notes," Zuhair has told the Asian Tribune earlier.
On the face of it, Nasheed's comment urging neighbours to mend ties, may seem as talking bilateral matters in a multilateral summit, which is not the norm.
Then again, the President was speaking very much in keeping to the SAARC Charter.
It requires the member countries to "compartmentalize the differences and move forward on common ground," as Nasheed himself put it during his address.
A day before his address in Thimphu, Nasheed spoke to select journalists on the sideline of the summit, perhaps giving a hint of his bombshell remark the next day.
There he elaborated well on the dominance of Indo-Pakistan tension at SAARC meetings.
"In my mind, it is in the interest of all to compartmentalise our problems, specially, India and Pakistan and their border and territorial issues," Rediff News quoted Nasheed as saying.
After all India-China ties were cited as an example during the summit.
He pointed out that the same principle could be applied to strengthening India and Pakistan relations, giving the SAARC too the much needed momentum.
Meanwhile, it remains a matter to be seen if Nasheed's comments did hurt the Maldives' relations with India and Pakistan.
Nasheed's office said his "trait of breaking from convention has caused him being criticized, even punished," commenting on his controversial SAARC address.
But, that is the "straightforward" character President Nasheed is, his Press Secretary added.
There is no denial that the South Asian grouping has been hammered repeatedly over lack of concrete action to remedy the regional issues.
There was "no dynamism or focus at the summit despite the long speeches" media reports criticized.
"The 21st century is called the Asian century, but for 25 years, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) has struggled to get off the ground," it added.
Bhutan's Prime Minister Jigmy Y Thinley could not put it more bluntly than that when he told the summit: "Some 200 meetings take place every year amongst SAARC countries but these meetings are not matched by results."
Ironically, the regional grouping now has more observers than member states due to its geo-strategic importance.
The US, China, the European Union, Iran, Japan, Korea and Mauritius Australia and Myanmar have observer status, brining their number to nine.
But the grouping has only 8 members who are Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Maldives.
On top of it, India and Pakistan steal the show at every SAARC summit, with the border dispute hitting the headlines whilst other issues like regional development, trade and climate change take the back seat.
All these factors point to but one thing -- that SAARC has largely failed to deliver anything worthwhile.
May be that's the reason why President Nasheed thought it fit to hit the nail on the SAARC head –telling the two biggest members to do the first things first -- to put their issues back home and give momentum to the beleaguered SAARC.

"I have seen Rebecca for treatment of various health challenges and maintenance of wellbeing. Rebecca has a calm, professional and pragmatic approach to her work. She has a consultative style that puts one at ease. I appreciate her informative and gentle style."
Charmaine Thomson, Wellington
"I would thoroughly recommend Rebecca – she is an amazing acupuncturist: she has a great ability to really listen to you, and then her treatments and advice just make complete sense – she truly does offer 'sensible healthcare'! I initially went to acupuncture for secondary infertility, but also for general health and well-being. I was unsure what to expect but interested to find out more, particularly given that her healthcare came highly recommended.
During and after treatments I felt a wonderful sense of calm and like I was really nourishing myself. I love the fact that this is a completely natural approach to healthcare.
As a result of acupuncture I have a much increased sense of whole-body awareness and vitality. I feel generally much more relaxed and confident in myself, and I have gone on to have a wonderfully healthy pregnancy, supported throughout by Rebecca's amazing acupuncture techniques. Her acupressure recommendations were used by my husband on me during labour resulting in a fantastic labour experience and a completely drug-free delivery: we now have a lovely baby boy!"
Katy Prior, Wellington
"Before I came to see Rebecca, I wasn't sure how it would be different from other acupuncturists or alternative practitioners I'd seen. Being treated by Rebecca I felt safe and in good hands, and looked after both on a professional and a human level. I experienced feeling both physically and emotionally better: The pain in my neck and back were relieved and I felt more grounded and relaxed after each treatment."
Debbie Jeffery, Wellington
"Over a six year period, five members of my immediate family died (including my husband) and I ended up a mental and physical wreck. Amongst other things, I had chronic neck and shoulder pain, lousy digestion, poor sleep and a defeated, depressed mental outlook. I tried grief counselling, massage, physiotherapy, exercise, improved nutrition etc etc - but with only limited success. I then tried mind/body counselling and this helped enormously.
"However, it was only when I added Rebecca's treatment that I improved in leaps and bounds. The changes were remarkable - and in only a couple of months. I am now both mentally and physically stronger. I stand taller! I feel optimistic. And I now feel able to build a new life for myself."
Anne Spicer, Christchurch
"After the suicide of my brother, I experienced panic attacks and feelings of anxiety which were affecting all areas of my life. I felt very fragile and challenged by normal activities - work, exercise, relationships, etc.
I got amazing results from the first treatment: Just speaking to Rebecca and understanding that my experience was not abnormal made me feel much better. After I received treatment, I was much more at ease, and the effect lasted for weeks. I have been seeing Rebecca for ten months now. My treatments have gone from every week to around once a month. I have steadily been feeling stronger and better, and I am now back to doing everything I used to do prior to the bereavement. If feelings of anxiety come up, they are now just slight background noise and not the total focus of my attention.
Previously, I have had acupuncture for sports injuries, but I was not expecting such significant results. I have also been using yoga, qigong, massage and counselling to help get balance back in my life, but I would consider acupuncture the most effective treatment I have undertaken. Rebecca is great, very gentle and accepting and makes me really feel like there is nothing wrong with me. And the needles really don't hurt!"
Julia Barton, 34, Advisor, Wellington

The sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams grew up in the world of politics.
His parents were Abigail Adams and her husband John, the nation's second president.
As a child, John Quincy often went to Europe with his father, who served as a diplomat there during the American Revolution.
He became a diplomat himself, and eventually president as well.
Adams's election was only by a slim margin.
It was finally decided in the House of Representatives by one vote.
As president, Adams helped to boost the economy and make it easier to trade among the states by setting up a system of roads and canals.
For example, the Cumberland Road was extended into Ohio.
Adams ran for a second term as president, but lost the election.
He then went on to serve in the House of Representatives for nine terms!
He and the 17th president, Andrew Johnson, are the only two former presidents (so far) who later served in Congress.

Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - A 20-year-old Nigerian man was flogged in public and fined after being convicted of breaking Islamic law banning homosexuality, an official said on Friday. Mubarak Ibrahim received 20 lashes with a horse whip before a large crowd outside the Sharia court in the northern city of Bauchi on Thursday. "The court ordered that (he) be given 20 strokes and ordered him to pay a 5,000 naira ($30) fine," Alhassan Zakari, an official with the Bauchi state Sharia Commission, told AFP.

New World Drumming, with Pablo Peña "Pablitodrum"by Pablo Peña
Bring world rhythms and sounds into your drum set playing.

This systematic approach includes demonstrations and practice grooves for merengue and other Dominican rhythms, which you will learn to bring into funk, jazz, and other styles. Exploring these possibilities and learning these techniques will help you to develop your personal voice as a drummer.
Learn to:
Pablo "Pablitodrum" Peña is an internationally acclaimed drummer most known for inventive fusions of jazz, rock, and dance forms with traditional rhythms of his native Dominican Republic, as well as Cuba and Brazil. He has performed with Eguie Castrillo, Tiger Okoshi, and many others. Pablo founded the Santa Domingo music school Drums, Centro de Enseñanza in 2000. He is author of Metodo de Enseñanza para bateria y tambora (Tambora and Drums Training Method) and a Michel Camilo scholarship winner at Berklee College of Music.
"This DVD is an exciting new look at the possibilities in the ever-growing modern drums vocabulary. Pablo Peña is a gifted young Dominican drummer who is able to apply his rhythmic knowledge, virtuosity, and cultural heritage to the contemporary drum set. I enjoyed rediscovering all these beats!"

Facebook's initial public offering may have flopped on Wall Street but it sparked prices for homes surrounding its Menlo Park headquarters.
Zillow, an online real estate tracking company, credited the "Facebook effect'' for a jump in its listings of million-dollar-plus homes for sale in Menlo Park. Those listings "shot up" 87 percent between February, when Facebook filed for a public offering, and May, when its shares began trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange, Zillow said Thursday.
The company does not release the actual number of listings. But it said that on Feb. 1, 25 percent of listings in Menlo Park were for more than $1 million and on May 18, the day of Facebook's IPO, almost 44 percent of all listings topped $1 million.
A million dollars buys a 1,580-square-foot home in Menlo Park, Zillow said.
The jump in prices is a nice counter to the disappointment of Facebook's trading debut, which was expected to soar from a $38-a-share IPO price, but instead ended the opening day almost flat.
Wendy McPherson of Coldwell Banker's Menlo Park office said any increase is partly seasonal. There's always a bump in sales between February and May, as the spring home sales season gets under way, she said.
"Have prices gone up? Absolutely," she said. "We can see the prices going up every month. Every two weeks."
Price increases have come as buyers bid against one another for a relatively small number of homes for sale, according to many real estate professionals.
Zillow said that Facebook's headquarters "is an epicenter for high home values." Menlo Park median home values are just over $1 million, up 5.7 percent from last year, Zillow said. Nearby, Woodside's median of slightly more than $2 million is up 12.8 percent from last year and Los Altos Hills' median of almost $2.3 million is up 8.4 percent over the year.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was forced to find new telecom services from various providers when NV was forced into bankruptcy in July, 2004. Popular was one of the leasing companies who forced NV into bankruptcy and is contending that I (as well as other defrauded customers) am still responsible for the lease of around $1800 a month for 5 years. Popular said that it is not their problem, even though they forced this action. I called XO Communications at Popular's suggestion and they were unable to help me duplicate the service at a cost near to what was being provided by NV, and worse, said that the Matrix box (which Popular held my lease for) was worthless. It was unusable for their service, but they still want to enforce the lease?
Sound a little shady? Every representative of this company that I have talked to has lied to me. As an example, I was told (in a letter by Phyllis Hardcastle, VP) I needed insurance for the equipment (worth approx. $4000--$1000 x 4 units), though they required that I insure it for the cost of the entire lease ($100,000). When I told Sharon Moss (referred to her by Hardcastle as the company insurance guru) their own insurance company offered only replacement cost for the equipment, I was told that I didn't need to buy it, as I already had equipmnet insurance for all of the rest of my equipment in my facility.
Without my knowledge, they billed me for the insurance anyway. When I called to talk about a past due bill when my services had not yet been installed, I was yelled at by the General Manager, Steve Marler, saying he was busy and I interrupted him. I don't think I've ever experienced worse customer service and I don't believe any reputable company would act in this manner.
Not only do I have communications equipment that is essentially useless, it is now secondary to Popular Lease's legal action. I am now being sued for non-payment of this "lease", even though several State's Attorneys General have required Popular to stop collections from and legal proceedings to customers like me. There are lawsuits pending with the US AG, FTC, State AG's and a class action against Popular, but they are increasing their lawsiut activity, anyway, in hopes of getting some quick cash in before the courts force them to stop.
Popular Leasing- clearly in on the scam. Follows their own rules. None that are good business tactics. I will never use them or any affiliated Banco Popular (their parent) companies. again.

Packers-Seahawks Monday Night Replacement Ref Debacle: Just Because Regular Refs Are Needed Doesn't Mean They Are Right
As soon as Seattle Seahawks' quarterback Russell Wilson's Hail Mary pass fell into the arms of both Golden Tate and a Green Bay Packers defender Monday night, it was clear there would be controversy over the outcome of this game. When the replacement refs ruled the play a Seattle touchdown, despite replays showing the contrary, fan and media outcry began almost immediately.
As Twitter exploded with reaction to the blown call, many of the tweets pointed the blame squarely at the NFL owners for refusing to pay the referees. People around the globe began calling for the owners and commissioner Roger Goodell to pay the regular refs whatever they want, as long as they agree to come back as soon as possible.
For example, Gary Myers, a sports columnist for the New York Daily News, tweeted, "Roger Goodell must protect the shield and bring regular officials back. This game is humiliating for NFL. Total chaos. Pay the refs."
Over on the west coast, Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times wrote in his Tuesday column that the NFL owners need to just "cut their losses" and pay the regular referees.
Even Samuel L. Jackson got into the fun, telling his Twitter followers, "Okay, TOTALLY TIME for the Cheap Assed Owners to PONY UP!! These refs are in Over their heads!!! OBVIOUSLY!!!"
This message has been retweeted over 5,000 times.
Got something to share about the NFL replacement refs? Contact us at the "tips" email below
Clearly, last night's debacle proved that the replacement referees are not cut out to officiate in the NFL. The longer contests, myriad in-game conferences, and debates over fan loyalties of the replacements were bad enough. Now at least one team's playoff hopes could be ruined as a result of a blown call.
But even though these replacements are inadequate, that does not mean the owners should give the regular refs everything they ask for.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King pointed out in his Monday Morning Quarterback column that much of the stalemate centers around the league's desire to decrease the amount they contribute to the referees' pension this year. While the league certainly can afford to, few part-time employees get pensions in the first place. Also, as King notes, many full-time employees in the league have already taken lesser pensions, so why should the part-time referees be any different?
King also writes that the referees are concerned about the NFL's idea for an officials' farm system. It would be used to train new referees and replace those who are retiring or ineffective. King says that the current referees are worried about their job security if this plan goes through. But as long as those officials continue to make the correct calls on the field, they won't have to worry about being replaced.
This is not to say that the referees should completely cave in, either. Each side makes legitimate points in the dispute. Hopefully last night's debacle will convince both the officials and the owners to come together and agree to a compromise that is fair to both parties.
After all, if a blown game doesn't convince them to settle their differences, nothing will.

Suggested Training
Your student employees will be only as effective as the training they receive. With this in mind, the following checklist was designed to help you better prepare your student employees for their new jobs. Of course, each department and each position has its own unique duties and responsibilities. However, most if not all student employees will need to be familiar with the topics below in order to do their jobs well. (Many of the topics below are covered in more detail in the "Policies" section). Check off each item as you go over it with your new employee:
Tours and Introductions
- Restrooms
- Lunch Room
- Where to put books, backpacks, etc.
- Where extra supplies are kept
- Faculty/staff/co-workers (introductions)
- Other people who may share space or equipment
- Transferring calls
- Taking messages
- Phone etiquette
- Important numbers/office web address
- Phone use (policy for personal calls)
- How to send a Fax/What is the Department's fax #?
- Copy machine (How-to and policy for personal use)
- Logging on and off (passwords; security; energy conservation)
- Office Usage Policy (may students check email, do homework, surf the web?)
Office Etiquette and Procedures
- Dress code
- Eating/drinking at desk (is it allowed?)
- Daily duties (expectations and consequences)
- Visitor Policy (may friends stop by to chat?)
Money Questions
- How do I fill out my time card?
- When do I get paid?
- Where do I pick up my paycheck?
- What about breaks? (When? How many? How long? Lunch? Are breaks paid?)
Remember, this is the first job many of your employees have held. While some of the items on this list may seem like common sense to you, they could be quite foreign to the students. Please invest some time in training your workers—it will pay off in the long run.

I am interested in supper club. How do we do it?
Is anyone interested in a Supper Club in Boston?
Okay, here we all are and we're all interested. Who would like to organize? I'll start with some important info --
Home: Quincy, T accessible
Work: Waltham, NOT T accessible
I suggest that we round up our e-mail addresses and continue this discussion that way...I'd rather not broadcast other info (like addresses and phone numbers) to the world on this bulletin board.
I'm straight out schedule-wise until July 6. Anyone want to try to put something together after that?? We'd all be very grateful!

I would be more than happy to coordinate the supper club for Boston. I have some experience in the start of another supper club for Boston as well, which due to meeting schedules, I was not able to attend. I think it seems that groups of 8-9 people work best. Because the supper club usually rotates through every one's place and because you would have to coordinate meeting times that work for all member of the group-- it's best to work with a manageable size. It also worked well to meet in a restaurant of mutual choosing for the first meeting. If someone would send me an email listing of everyone's name, I would be more than happy to get this going!
I'm interested in the starting the Supper Club too. I live just south of Boston. Weekends are best time for this activity as I work Monday thru Friday. Please keep me posted on progress or if I can assist. Looking forward to this "culinary adventure".Originally posted by lcampisi:

Sun Hung Kai Co-Chairmen Charged: Analysts React
This post has been updated:
Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. opened down over 1% on Monday in Hong Kong on resumption of trading, following news on Friday that its co-chairmen had been charged by Hong Kong's antigraft agency along with a senior former government official.
Thomas and Raymond Kwok, brothers who run the world's second-largest listed real estate company by market cap, were charged Friday by the Independent Commission Against Corruption with bribing Rafael Hui, Hong Kong's former No. 2 government official. The stock was suspended from trading on Friday morning.
Since the arrests of the brothers on March 29, Sun Hung Kai has fallen about 16% to HK$94.40, compared to the Hang Seng Index which is off 8%.
The company named Raymond and Thomas Kwok's sons as directors on Friday, and appointed two deputy managing directors to assist Thomas and Raymond Kwok, who will stay in their positions as co-chairmen and managing directors.
Here's some analyst reaction:
The most likely impact from the co-chairmen's absence from running the business will be on its capital investment, which will likely become more conservative particularly as its debt is the highest at any time in the company's history, with the gearing level close to its self-imposed limit of 20%, says the house. In terms of succession, Barclays says appointing the co-chairmen's sons would not adequately address the company's corporate governance issues, and advocates appointing genuinely independent directors and presenting a clear succession plan. It lowers its price target for the stock to HK$87.50.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch
The bank says it expects the investigation to take up to two years, based on how long it took the ICAC to charge Television Broadcast Ltd.'s former general manager, Stephen Chan, who was charged with corruption in 2010 and acquitted at the end of 2011. It thinks Sun Hung Kai's share price could get a short term fillip now that the charges have been made, but corporate governance and succession issues will continue to cloud the share price in the longer term.
J.P. Morgan
In a note dated July 10, the house said the appointment of two more independent non-executive directors on July 1, and the expansion of the executive committee to 12 from seven existing members, could help mitigate the risk of management changes even in the case of the chairmen stepping down. It upgraded the stock to "overweight."
Sun Hung Kai's bonds have similarly underperformed comparable paper since the brothers were arrested on March 29, says the research firm, with its yields widening much more than comparable paper issued by property developers. It says Sun Hung Kai, which has cash of HK$9.2 billion at the end of December, has large refinancing needs, including some HK$18 billion in local bank and bond debt due at the end of the year.
Moody's Investor Service
Moody's kept Sun Hung Kai on a negative outlook on its A1 senior unsecured rating but says the company's operational and financial profile will not be materially affected. It says the government accepted a bid from Sun Hung Kai among seven bidders for a property project on July 11, the second land acquisition by the company since the executives came under investigation. The company also added two independent non-executive directors on July 11 to strengthen its board. "Such prompt management restructuring further demonstrates the breadth and depth of the company's management team," said Moody's.
Standard & Poor's
The ratings firm said that its rating and outlook on Sun Hung Kai would remain unchanged as its daily operations have remained intact, with a "well-established investment property portfolio" which generates more than HK$10 billion a year in rental income. S&P continues to have a negative outlook on Sun Hung Kai's rating, which it said reflects the view that while the charges so far have only been limited to individuals and not the company, the legal process could distract management and it's still unclear whether the company or any project could be implicated.

Once again I am here to share a couple of great blog sites that I personally follow.
Believe In Yourself is run by Sam. She has had great success at losing weight and now follows Intuitive Eating, which she explains on her blog here. Sam had a great post last week where she talked more about overcoming challenges. She writes:
I am starting to get to the point where I know that I can have ANY food I want, but… I don't want it. The other day I went grocery shopping. And I walked down the cookie, candy, and cracker isle. I told myself, "Okay Sam, you can have ANYTHING you want. You can only choose one, but it can be ANYTHING!". There were things that I considered, but when it came down to it, you know what I chose? Not the oreos, not the twinkies, not the rolos, not the taffy cookies. I chose Popcorn. So while I am still making choices that are probably not the most nutritious, I am starting to see that I don't have to eat this kind of food, if I don't want to. That I don't need it. And in some cases, I don't even want it!
Sam was determined not to set herself up for failure, either:
So our new rule in the house, we only eat in the kitchen. It goes back to habits. I have habits in the past of stuffing myself while watching a movie. Eating and eating and eating while reading a book in bed. Mindless stuffing food in my mouth while playing on the computer. But I don't really have any habit's associated with eating in the kitchen. And I'm not talking about eating at the refrigerator. I mean, we sit down and have a meal as a family at the kitchen table. We talk. We share. We eat. And… we have this new habit – we stop when we are satisfied! It's amazing! It seems to be really working… huh, who would've thought! 😉
What a breakthrough, huh? Even if you aren't doing intuitive eating, Sam's site is loaded with honest, personal, helpful stories. Check her out.
This next site is called Grown Up University and is run by Leslie. She, like me recently started her blog and I've gotta tell you….she hit the floor running when she launched. Not only does she give herself specific things to do every month (reading specifically chosen books, classes ranging from cooking to…what? hip- hop?) but she set the bar especially high when she also chose to eliminate TV from her life during the entire month of September! Regarding her class schedule, she writes:
To start with, I am going to work on my eating, exercise, work and leisure habits for the next four months. This "semester," I have designed three classes: Food Science 101, Physical Education 101, and Occupational and Leisure Studies 121.
Over the next four months, I'll be going from a couch potato to someone who can run a 5K. I'll be going a month without television or eating out, and reading 15 books on topics that include cooking, sustainable and local food issues, running and fitness, work productivity and organization, and writing well. That's to name a few things I'll be doing. For the full deets, check out the course syllabi.
In the spring, this will start all over again, and I will begin classes in Environmental Studies, Spirituality and Religion, and Financial Principles with new goals and assignments. Relationships and Family Planning are on the summer schedule.
This project is an experiment to see if a year is enough time to close the gap between the kind of person I am and the kind of person I want to be.
Leslie gives updates on her classes, detailed reviews on the books she's read, and loads of inspiration. I know I'm more motivated! Head on over to her blog. It's a real education.
Thanks for reading; see you back here tomorrow where I will introduce you to my 2 golden retrievers; you won't go away disappointed, I promise. Where else would you be entertained by watching a dog whispering……hmm?

Key words: Influenza virus, antigenic drift, viral pathogenesis, viral receptors, antibody specificity, vaccines
Description of Research
Seasonal influenza viruses pose a major threat to the human population, contributing to over 30,000 annual deaths in the United States alone. Influenza viruses rapidly escape pre-existing humoral immunity by accumulating mutations in the viral surface proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). This process, termed "antigenic drift", creates antigenically distinct viruses, making it difficult to predict which types of viruses will predominate during any given flu season. Antigenic drift is a huge problem for vaccine manufacturers.
The Hensley laboratory has 2 major scientific focuses: 1) elucidating mechanisms that promote antigenic drift of influenza viruses and 2) identifying factors that influence influenza vaccine responsiveness. Our overarching goals are to use basic immunological and virological approaches to improve the process by which influenza vaccine strains are chosen, and to develop new influenza vaccines that are protective against antigenically diverse influenza strains.
It is an exciting time to study influenza viruses, and enthusiastic undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral fellows should email firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in joining the lab.

Come and Getty
By Caroline Baum
It will be more than two years before the hand – or should that be the eye – of Timothy Potts will be visible at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. He may have been appointed director late last year but exhibitions are long-term projects, taking years to research, plan and negotiate.
In the meantime, the Sydney alumnus (BA Hons '81) is making his presence felt in other ways. Mainly by shopping. When you have the Getty's purchasing power, his sort of shopping (a crude and rather vulgar term for the kind of buying that Potts does), is the topic of speculation and media fascination.
Blessed with an enviable endowment of $5.3 billion from the Getty Trust, the museum director does not have to spend energy raising money. Instead, his job is to spend it. Potts started his tenure with a fairly low-key purchase, a Flemish illuminated manuscript by Lieven van Lathem at the 2012 Sotheby's sale of items from Chatsworth, home of the Duke of Devonshire, in the UK for $6.2 million.
Although it may seem as if Potts has carte blanche to buy whatever he likes, he says it is not that simple. "The market has not missed a beat due to the GFC. The Russian oligarchs have simply moved in where previously it was the Japanese paying the high prices. Next it will be the Chinese. Frankly, the prices are staggering and it is getting harder and harder. We may have the largest institutional budget but our competition comes from private individuals."
He admits to having his eye out for a Caravaggio, though such things are not easy to come by, even with a hefty cheque book. "I have, in the past 10 years, seen lots of paintings that want to be Caravaggios," he says coolly. He is in no hurry. One thing you learn as an archaeologist is patience.
From the age of 11, Potts knew what he wanted to be. Raised by a urologist father and a mother interested in fashion, he first visited the University's Nicholson Museum when he was 14. "That was the first time I came face to face with original artefacts from antiquity." He recently returned to view the collection, and describes it today as "more welcoming and designed now".
"With so many experts on so many subjects in one place, we are all both professors and students at the same time. That is incredibly stimulating."
As an undergraduate studying philosophy and archaeology, Potts, now 54, lived off campus, cycling from the family home near Centennial Park to university every day. He regards those as "the critical, golden years" and has maintained friendships with some of his peers, "many of whom have gone on to become scholars at universities around the world".
He sounds almost apologetic when describing the focus and enthusiasm he brought to his studies, eclipsing the alternative temptations and distractions of a social or sporting life. His chief mentor was Professor of Archaeology Basil Hennessey, a specialist in Near Eastern civilisations. "He was very supportive, helped to get me to Oxford for my postgraduate work and invited me on my first dig in Jordan," says Potts, who went on to work at several sites in the Middle East which would today be inaccessible, such as those in Iraq.
Potts saved up to go to Jordan by washing dishes in a restaurant at night. Today he talks about the life on a dig with undimmed, almost boyish enthusiasm and nostalgia. "That first site was fascinating; it went from the neolithic era to medieval times, including the Roman and the Byzantine. It was both primitive and romantic, undeniably authentic. I am glad I experienced living on site in tents, the simplicity of it. The actual digging today remains a manual craft – you still have to feel your way. What has changed is the science for dating things and the technology for recording data."
He worries about looting at sites which he describes as "a scourge" and says that providing security to protect such places of cultural significance is a priority that most countries caught up in the current wave of war and upheaval ignore.
At the Getty, he sees his role as similar to that of a storyteller. "I am keeping an eye out for what the state of a subject is, to see if a story can be assembled through artworks that can convey a meaningful experience to audiences. It is the scholarship in that process that excites me, not the wheeling and dealing," he says emphatically.
But isn't there some satisfaction in bartering with institutions that are normally loath to lend? "Of course, but the reason they lend is because they get excited by the story you want to tell; they also share in the opportunity to learn something new about a work in their collection. You don't lend a Giotto just because it's the Getty that's asking. The power of an idea secures you the loans. The challenge lies in finding a fresh approach."
Potts compares the Getty, with its 200 staff, to a university: "With so many experts on so many subjects in one place, we are all both professors and students at the same time. That is incredibly stimulating."
From Sydney to LA
Before his appointment to the Getty Museum, Potts spent five years as director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England, where he derived personal satisfaction from two exhibitions he curated, attracting unprecedented numbers to view shows devoted to the Han Dynasty Royal Tombs and Vermeer's Women. "The trick is to find a balance between scholarship in the raw as you find it in journals and research and knowledge that is worn lightly and can be shared with non-experts."
In the early '90s, before his museum career took off, Potts spent four years in the Media and Communications Group at Lehmann Brothers investment bank in New York, an experience which he now says gave him an advantage in understanding how the corporate world works, "especially the focus on follow-through, deadlines and outcomes, since those are the terms in which most of our funders think and assess us. It also gives sponsors of the museum a higher level of comfort in me as the steward of their support. They know I understand what they need to get out of the relationship."
Following that stint he was appointed director of the National Gallery of Victoria (1994–98). He does not hesitate when asked to nominate his personal highlights from his four years there: "Firstly, abolishing the entry charge and seeing the attendance double in the first year. Secondly, persuading the Kennett government that the major building on Federation Square should be a museum of Australian art drawn from the NGV's collections. As for a curatorial highpoint, that was organising Rembrandt, A Genius And His Impact."
From Melbourne he moved to Texas, as Director of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth (1998–2007), where he shifted the emphasis to sculpture through opportunistic purchasing – including a Bernini which experts claimed was 'a steal' and a major coup largely because its authenticity at the time was uncertain. Potts's rigorous scholarship won the day, demonstrating that the year he and his curators put into determining it was genuine paid off. "I don't think I am aggressive but I do have a clear sense of purpose and how to get there, which often means standing firm," he says, adding that "in most situations judgement underpinned by scholarship is the key to success."
Describing his management style as informal, and clearly appreciating LA's laid-back vibe, Potts is currently renting an apartment in Santa Monica with his partner, an artist photographer, and looking to buy something more permanent. The two entertain a lot.
His office at the Getty is minimalist, in keeping with the aesthetic of the building by Richard Meier, and overlooks the Robert Irwin garden, which he describes as "the most contemplative part of the site".
Two of the walls are glass, one is covered in books from floor to ceiling. The fourth is reserved for a work of art. "With a de Kooning and a few antiquities, it would be perfect," Potts jokes.
"It's been easy to settle here, perhaps because it reminds me so much of Australia," he says. "I do miss it, on a personal level," he acknowledges. "If life were just about lifestyle, I would live there."

This afternoon Samsung has made their first interchangeable-lens-toting 3G/4G LTE and wi-fi enabled camera running Android, the Samsung GALAXY NX. This device works with a 20.3MP APS-C Sensor up front as well as a Advanced Hybrid Auto Focus (AF) System inside, while the full-panel back-display on this machine works with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, including all the Google Play app store camera software available to all Android devices today.
The Galaxy NX works with 1/6000 sec shutter speed and 8.6fps shooting and a collection of Interchangeable Lenses that'll allow for the versatility of a DSLR. Inside you'll find a DRIMe IV Image Signal Processor for speed and accuracy and the power required to shoot not just 2D images, but 3D as well.
This camera works with what Samsung calls "True 3D Creator". This is a software feature that "brings an added element of realism" to the GALAXY NX while it allows the user to shoot both images and movies in 3D - just so long as they've got the lens to do it with. That lens is the Samsung 45mm 2D/3D lens and it'll be available separately from the basic body of the GALAXY NX.
This device works with many of the features the Samsung Galaxy S 4 works with including "Story Album" and "Photo Suggest", bringing this device up well beyond the average Android-toting camera. As it was in the Samsung Galaxy Camera, so too do you get a collection of 30+ Smart Modes for auto-optimized settings. Along with this comes Camera Studio, this bringing on the ability to save settings for later customized use.
Inside this device you'll find a built-in pop-up flash, WiFi a/b/g/n at 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and Bluetooth 4.0 (LE). This device also has integrated GPS, GLONASS (Support A-GPS), and a full range of sensors: Accelerometer, Geomagnetic, Proximity, Gyro, RGB Light. You'll be kicking it all out with 2GB of RAM, as well.
As for storage, this camera has 16GB of internal memory as well as a microSD card slot able to work with 64GB microSD cards. Not full sized, mind you!
The full unit sizes up to 136.5 x 101.2 x 25.7 (37.65) mm, and weighs in at 410g (without battery) / 495g (with standard battery). Stick around as we give this machine the full hands-on treatment shortly!

Definition of Tumor necrosis factor
Tumor necrosis factor: One of multiple proteins capable of inducing necrosis (death) of tumor cells that possess a wide range of proinflammatory actions. Abbreviated TNF. TNF is a multifunctional cytokine with effects on lipid metabolism, coagulation, insulin resistance, and the function of endothelial cells lining blood vessels. Drugs that block the action of TNF have been shown to be beneficial in reducing the inflammation in inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary
