CLARK, Mavis Audrey (née BAIN)
Passed away peacefully at Marion Hopsice Vancouver, British Columbia on Sunday, March 19, 2006. She was surrounded by those she loved dearly. She is survived by her brother Doctor Stanley BAIN from Ontario and her children John, Bruce, Jennifer and Christy. She is predeceased by their father, Jim CLARK. All of her grandchildren, Huxley and Eliot BENTZ, Hamish MARISSEN- CLARK and James CLARK will miss her generous, whimsical presence. She will also be sorely missed by her dearest friend Gerry CARTER, whose life she enlarged and enriched. Mavis was born on February 8, 1931 in Glasgow, Scotland where her dear parents Doctor Theodore and Audrey BAIN made their home for five years. Later she travelled Canada with her family, living in many communities including William Head, then a quarantine station, Rockcliffe Park, Ottawa and Vancouver. She graduated in Sciences from University of British Columbia in 1953 with a degree in home economics. This led to a short career as a dietician at the Royal Columbian Hospital in the early years of her marriage. Mavis made many life long Friends at University of British Columbia as a sorority girl in Alpha Gamma Delta. Mavis and Jim married in 1955. They raised their children in Burnaby where she made a significant contribution as a volunteer. She founded the first non-profit daycare in the city at Saint_John the Divine church. Mavis was justifiably proud of her role as co-founder of the Burnaby Family Life Institute, an organization dedicated to strengthening families - a cause to which she remained devoted. Mavis earned a graduate degree in human behaviour from Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington in 1980. She then established herself in practice as a marriage and family therapist in Vancouver. At the end of her career, she was honoured by the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (British Columbia) for her role in helping to establish the profession in British Columbia. Mavis loved people. She loved listening and she loved talking. She was eloquent and true in her words and emotions. She was curious, intelligent and brimming with feeling. She was a free spirit. She painted, created and wrote. She pursued art studies for many years while she raised her four children. And she painted at her studio on Galiano every year until this one. Mavis and Jim bought their property on Galiano Island in 1969. After her children had grown, that property on the island's magnificent south end, became her home for many months of every year. Mavis developed a deep love of Galiano's natural beauty. She spent thousands of hours wandering its woods, swimming in its ocean and reflecting on nature's gift to us. She expressed her passion for the place through her work as a director of the Galiano Conservancy Association. Mavis fiercely defended the island from threats including development, pollution and non-native species. She will be lovingly remembered by many, many Friends on Galiano for her contributions as a member of that close knit community. A service to remember Mavis will be held at Christ Church Anglican Cathedral (690 Burrard St. Vancouver) on Friday, March 24 at 3 p.m. Another celebration of her life will be held on Galiano Island at a later date. Mavis would have been grateful if, instead of flowers, her Friends made a donation in her name to the Galiano Conservancy Association.

MARKO, Peter
By Natasha MARKO, Page A28
Husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, car salesman, extrovert. Born June 3, 1927, in Zhelevo, Greece. Died July 23 in Toronto of kidney failure, aged 79.
Peter MARKO would often tell the story of his trip to Canada. He'd describe how he looked and felt when he was a passenger on the ship that brought him to this country -- an angry Macedonian peasant boy of 9, with his head shaved to prevent lice and his feet covered with pigskin slippers. When another boy on the ship (a first-class passenger) laughed at his appearance, Peter beat the boy up. The boy was scolded by his own father for his behaviour and Peter felt vindicated. On the seventh morning of his ocean voyage, Peter looked out his window in third class and shouted for his mother: "Mika, Mika!" It was the Statue of Liberty. A train then took the pair to Toronto's Union Station.
Peter and his mother left their one-room house in Greece, the only place he had ever known, to join his father in Canada in 1936. The house was in Zhelevo, a small mountain village in northern Greece. Peter's father left for Canada four months before Peter's birth, and Peter was raised by his mother and grandfather. When Peter first met his father in Canada, he was angry and refused to speak to him in Macedonian, speaking only Greek. Peter was a fighter and a survivor, and he adapted to life in Toronto's west end well.
As a 10-year-old, he was to start school in kindergarten because he did not speak English. He brought an English-speaking cousin to the school to tell officials he would not attend kindergarten and was placed in a higher grade. He learned quickly to make Friends with the right people at school to avoid being bullied.
Peter married Sophie STOYO when he was 19. Peter and Sophie were to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on July 28, 2006. They had two children: Tom and Sharon. Peter's survivor instincts served him well when, at 20 years of age, he lost his father. He became a father figure to his three young siblings, Helen, William, and Rose. Throughout his life, Peter acted as a father to many family members, opening up his home when they needed shelter or a shoulder to lean on. Peter was also the life of any party. He was at ease with people from all walks of life. He became a regular fixture on Toronto's St. Clair Avenue West.
When his father died, he took over the family business, Marko's Restaurant on St. Clair. His bold personality served him well when he later became a salesman at West York Chev Olds. Peter liked to be busy and continued to work until his death. He delivered his last car to a client the day before he died. He was also an avid golfer and a long-time member of Islington Golf Club in Etobicoke. He had a weakness for gambling and would often play cards with Friends at the golf club or place bets on horses at Woodbine Racetrack. He owned several thoroughbred horses over the years.
Peter was adored by his five grandchildren because he had a particular zest for life. He enjoyed taking them out for dinner, and e-mailing them short notes or passing on funny or touching messages he received from his many Friends. He enthusiastically attended piano recitals, swim meets, and spelling bees. He was proud to become a great-grandfather in 2005, and often remarked in the months before his death that things would be okay because his great-grand_son was replacing him.
At family dinners he would tell stories of his childhood, break into song, or get up and dance. He loved to brag about his strength and good looks. Peter always commanded attention and he usually received it. He was an easy person to love, and he is missed deeply by those who loved him.
Natasha MARKO is Peter's granddaughter.

MARKOULIS, Stavros
By Jerry AMERNIC, Page A22
Father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great grandfather. Born September 4, 1912, in Armensko, (now) Greece. Died September 26, 2005 in Toronto, aged 93.
At dinner recently my wife told some Friends about her grandfather passing away. "He just got tired of life," she said.
Stavros MARKOULIS was the patriarch of the family, but the word seems too weighty for this soft-spoken, unassuming man whom almost everyone called "Dedo" (grandfather in Macedonian). He was not a decision-maker or settler of disputes, preferring to leave such things to others. Making waves was not his style.
He was the first of his family to leave the little Macedonian village of Armensko and come to Canada, arriving in 1951 with his two sons.
He soon sent for his wife Magda and their daughters. Along with younger son Lazo and son-in-law Lazaros, he ran a diner in Toronto, at the corner of Queen Street and Broadview Avenue. It was called United Lunch and was a popular mainstay in the neighbourhood for more than 25 years. Stavros, called Chris by his Friends and Dedo by everyone else, was the chef.
He liked good food, ribald jokes and a long solitary drag on his cigarette. A simple man who never lost sight of where he came from, he always wore his Macedonian imprint with pride. The only thing more important was his family.
He married his sweetheart Magda when he was 19 and she was 16. Their children came at regular intervals: daughter Evangeline, followed by sons Ilo and Lazo, then three more daughters, Fania, Mara and Tula. The flock this group produced would make Dedo a very proud Dedo indeed -- the family picnic held at the end of every summer to mark his birthday was often greeted with a new arrival.
When the bountiful lunch was over, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren would gather for a photograph with the man of the hour. It was always his proudest moment.
In 1976, when his beloved Magda was suddenly taken from him, he embarked on the final third of his life, cared for by Evangeline and forming wonderful Friendships with his many grandchildren.
He was a true raconteur who liked relating tales of the old country, like the time when he was a young boy and French soldiers offered him "bonbons" after they ventured into the village during the First World War.
When he told this story, and he told it a thousand times, he would add a little song that he had learned from those soldiers. He'd sing it with joy and a smile and when it was over he'd exclaim "French!" as though he had just made a major discovery. Word has it that he sang it a mere week before he died.
A few years ago he was videotaped singing the song, but with an added feature - he had a patch over one eye and finished with his own special version of "Hasta la vista, baby." Everyone in the family wanted a copy of the tape.
Dedo was a thoughtful, easygoing man with never a cross word for anyone. He walked with a smooth gait that was unique to him - -- hands crossed behind his back, a slight stoop to his back, the signature cap on his head.
He was blessed with good health almost to the end; he was around so long it seems strange with him not here.
He was much loved by his six children (one of whom, son Ilo, predeceased him), and by 15 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild, not to mention all those who married into the family and thought of him as their Dedo too.
Jerry is married to Stavros's first granddaughter, Dorothy.

There's no doubt that World of Warcraft is the most successful MMORPG in history, but it can't hold that title forever. It's going to take one hell of a game to take its crown, and it looks like Age of Conan just might be the one to do it.
Sure, it's way too early to tell, but Age Of Conan is already making headways. The game launched only a little over a week ago, and already has racked up a whopping 400,000 subscribers. I'd say that's not too shabby at all.
Of course the real test is going to be how the end-game plays. If they are able to create an endgame that keeps players constantly coming back for more, then we'll no doubt see these numbers climbing in the way they did for WoW. If they don't succeed in the end-game, then it'll be more of a rocky road.

Viacom Inc. said an impasse in contract talks with DirecTV is costing almost 20 million subscribers access to 26 channels, including MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central.
DirecTV dropped the channels late Tuesday when two sides couldn't reach a new fee agreement, New York-based Viacom said in a blog post. There was no word on whether the companies would continue negotiating. "We are hopeful that DirecTV will work with us toward a resolution, and stop denying its subscribers access to the networks they watch most," Viacom said.
The standoff is the latest fee tussle between a pay-TV provider and programmer. Such fights have blacked out channels to millions of subscribers. Viacom said on its blog that programs from its networks amount to 20 percent of viewers of DirecTV, the largest U.S. satellite service. DirecTV, based in El Segundo, Calif., says Viacom's ratings are down.
In its own posting, DirecTV said Viacom is demanding a 30 percent increase in fees over the term of a new contract, amounting to more than $1 billion in additional costs. Viacom said its fees account for less than 5 percent of the satellite service's programming expenses.
"The rate increase we're asked for constitutes a few pennies per month per subscriber," said Mark Jafar, a Viacom spokesman.
Other affected channels include BET, VH1, CMT, Spike TV and TV Land.

The CEO Who Color-Codes Every Minute
By Shira Ovide
VMware CEO Patrick Gelsinger is one of a long line of chief executives preoccupied – or even obsessed — with how they manage their time.
Mr. Gelsinger books virtually every minute of his work days with meetings, time with VMware corporate users or other duties on a meticulously prepared schedule, color-coded by activity.
Sessions with VMware customers or partners are marked on his calendar in turquoise, time with media or investors are coded purple, and strategy-review sessions are yellow. Mr. Gelsinger keeps his schedule close at hand in his iPad, or he carries a one-page printout of his colorful calendar, protected in a plastic sheet.
Such efficiency enables some semblance of work-life balance for Mr. Gelsinger, who says he's home for family dinner whenever he is not traveling. To do that, the CEO says he typically wakes at 4 or 4:30 a.m. to be at his desk by about 6.
Mr. Gelsinger's avid time-management reflects an executive reality they don't teach at business school: Because everyone wants time with the boss, the boss must be ruthless about how he or she metes out that time.
Steve Ballmer, the former Microsoft CEO, has said he kept a detailed spreadsheet to budget a year's worth of one-on-one sessions with employees, free time and days spent on the road. Other executives prefer to build in more unscheduled solo time to reflect.
Mr. Gelsinger abides by what he calls the "abundance theory" – the more time he spends with employees or business partners, the more he's likely to learn. (Read more about his management and plans for VMware in this Boss Talk interview.)
Mr. Gelsinger's calendar-setting starts with a near-weekly session with his executive assistant and executive-communications manager to map his agenda for the coming week and months ahead. An intern is on standby to calculate how Mr. Gelsinger's time use stacks up to various studies on executive time management.
If Mr. Gelsinger is like most bosses, the reality of his days may not be far off from "Dilbert" cartoon. A 2012 research paper found CEOs spend about one-third of their work hours in meetings.

Location: Rangeland Resources Research
Project Number: 3018-11000-005-00
Start Date: May 01, 2010
End Date: Mar 05, 2015
To address our first objective concerning the responses of rangelands to global changes, we will use a well-replicated Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) and warming experiment to determine how global change influences the northern mixed-grass prairie. We will examine responses of plant production and quality, composition of native plant communities, carbon and nitrogen cycling, and plant invasion. To understand the mechanisms underlying these responses, we will make extensive use of gas exchange, stable isotope, soil water and nitrogen monitoring, and computer simulation methods. We will use additional treatments to learn how seasonality of precipitation influences the northern mixed-grass prairie, and how the magnitude of those effects compares to effects of CO2 and warming. To address our second objective concerning greenhouse gas mitigation tools, we will measure soil respiration and fluxes of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) using static chambers, and net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) using dynamic chambers within plots of the FACE, warming and irrigation manipulative experiment. Results from the static and dynamic chambers will allow us to quantify CO2-enrichment and warming effects on soil trace gas fluxes and ecosystem level CO2 fluxes, and how these fluxes are related to soil moisture and other environmental factors. We will also take advantage of three ongoing NP215 long-term grazing studies to assess the effects of grazing management strategies (stocking rate and season of use) on the size and dynamics of soil C and N pools, and the potential of these strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in NMP and SGS. We will use natural variation in precipitation to determine the relative influence of above- and below-average years of precipitation on C and N pool changes. The insights provided by these experiments will help scientists and land managers adapt management practices to sustain ecosystem services in the face of global change, and provide critical information for policy makers. Utilize collaborative efforts within USDA (ARS, FS, NRCS, RMA, FSA and ERS) as well with other governmental entities (NOAA, USGS, BLM, NWS), land grant university agricultural experiment stations and agricultural extension (in Northern Plains regional states of WY, CO, MT, ND, SD and NE) to synthesize information and data and knowledge to develop technologies (management strategies, management practices) and decision support tools (applications for mobile devices, enhanced models) that can be delivered to land managers via web portals and other technology transfer providers (extension, education, NRCS field offices, eXtension, etc.). An outreach coordinator is needed to manage the 6 state efforts.

The audit highlights maintenance and technological deficits of the press and former exhaust and can improve the running characteristics of the machine through targeted upkeep measures.
The overall capacity of the individual systems, including pressure losses of the individual system components, serves as a database for the audit. In combination with a visual inspection of important components such as precipitators and ventilators, a first estimation of the system's condition is possible. With the capacity review, problem spots can be localized and countermeasures initiated. As a second step, checking the air distribution in the duct systems is possible, thereby localizing weak spots in the system in a targeted fashion.With the aid of the former exhaust audit, the running characteristics of the machine can be improved, e.g., through optimized air distribution. The moisture input in the plant can be minimized, and the building can be actively protected.
Production360 includes an analysis of machine and process data, including the machine condition. Our expert identifies optimization potentials and recommends concrete measures.

I received a B.A. from Western Washington University (2012 Division 2 NCAA National Basketball Champions) and M.S. and Ph.D. Degrees from Washington State University. In retrospect, I should have instead gotten on the dole with a fake disability and had fun. I will now have to wait for retirement to have fun at the taxpayers' expense. The homunculus pictured above was taken from my seminar on Morse Code given at the 2011 Spokane, WA Hamfest. This image shows the proportion of the brain devoted to sensory and motor control of our body. This shows that a disproportionate amount of the brain is devoted to the hands and the mouth. This is the justification for my next project: a mouth keyer for mobile C.W. operation.
I signed up with an internet dating site. I filled out a long questionaire and they matched me with a date based on my answers. They found my perfect match! She is hotter than a pair of 3CX800A7 tubes in an Alpha 87 during a DX Contest! She is reported to be a TV celebrity with dozens of viewers. In addition to her good looks, she is supposed to have a nice personality. I can't wait to meet her. She is pictured below.
I do not send QSL cards. The good news is that I will never pressure or beg for your card. If you are serious about QSLs or awards you should move to North Korea and you should be able to get a lot of both. You should, however, pack your own lunch since the restaurants have gotten poor reviews by the major Restaurant Magazines. To their credit, however, I have heard that North Korea has much better border security on their Southern Border then the United States.
The following is my favorite Morse Code scene from a Movie. This is from "On the Beach" released in 1959. Nuclear War breaks out in 1964 (the year I got my Amateur License) and the only sign of life in the Northern Hemisphere is a strange C.W. signal near San Diego. For you No-Code Types, the Morse Code was sent correctly by the sailor. If you don't believe this story, then it is the F.C.C. busting a LID. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAuvFjVNtz8

SAP Sheds M&A Shyness as Oracle Rivalry Moves to the Cloud
SAP AG's then-chief Leo Apotheker told investors in 2009 that the German company's homegrown technology was "significantly better" than that of Oracle Corp., which had "not done a good job with acquisitions."
Apotheker was forced to leave three months later and his successors, co-CEOs Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe, have already spent more than $9 billion on two major takeovers. The most recent came on Dec. 3, when SAP agreed to buy San Mateo, California-based SuccessFactors Inc. for $3.4 billion in cash to catch up with Oracle in the cloud-computing market.
McDermott and Snabe have changed tack at the largest maker of business-management software to do a better job meeting demand for new technologies, such as cloud computing, real-time analytics and mobile applications. The SuccessFactors deal shows SAP's previous go-it-alone approach to the cloud was lacking, said Thomas Otter, a vice president at Gartner Inc.
"My first reaction was: What took you so long?" Otter said in a phone interview from Heidelberg, Germany, less than 50 miles away from SAP's headquarters in Walldorf. "This means a fundamental shift in terms of their cloud strategy, which has been rather slow to get off the ground. This is a tacit admission that their cloud strategy was a failure."
Short Investors
SuccessFactors rose 51 percent to $39.75 at the close in U.S. trading today. SAP shares, meanwhile, dropped 2.5 percent to 43.61 euros in Frankfurt, valuing the company at 53.5 billion euros. The stock has gained 14 percent this year.
The jump in SuccessFactors' shares has made life difficult for people shorting the stock, or betting that it will go down, CEO Lars Dalgaard said today.
"The first thing I'm enjoying is how many shorts we fried," Dalgaard said in an interview on "Bloomberg West."
Investors increased short sales on SuccessFactors to 17.7 percent of shares outstanding as of Dec. 1, according to data compiled for Bloomberg by New York-based researcher Data Explorers. That was near the high of 18.3 percent on Nov. 24 -- a record going back at least to November 2007.
Still, the deal raises concerns for SAP, said Michael Briest, an analyst at UBS AG.
"In addition to the high price paid, which we think investors will see negatively, the other question will be whether the decision to acquire reflects a sign of SAP's strength or its weakness," he said. Briest cut his rating on SAP shares to "neutral" from "buy."
Cloud Movement
SAP, Oracle and companies such as Apple Inc., Salesforce.com Inc., International Business Machines Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Dell Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are promoting cloud computing as a secure way to outsource data centers and reduce the need for pricey servers and other hardware.
SuccessFactors, which makes software used to manage employee performance, has more than 3,500 customers and 15 million subscribers in 168 countries. The company is predicted to have $502 million in revenue in 2013, up from $332 million this year, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
The purchase could add another 1 billion euros ($1.34 billion) to SAP's 2015 sales target of 20 billion euros, co-CEO McDermott said in a telephone interview.
SAP is paying eight times SuccessFactors' forecast revenue for next year, compared with a median of three times revenue companies paid for 32 North American software targets over the past five years, Bloomberg data show. It is paying a premium of 54 percent, based on a 20-day average of the target's share price, compared with a 22 percent premium Oracle paid for cloud competitor RightNow Technologies Inc. on Oct. 24.
'Crown Jewel'
"You get what you pay for and if you want the crown jewel in this industry, you have got to pay for it," McDermott said. "We are very comfortable with the relationship between the price and 2012 revenues. It's very much in the medium range. We don't consolidate old tired companies that don't grow anymore."
SAP may take a break from large deals following the close of SuccessFactors, while it concentrates on expanding in cloud computing, mobile business software, data analysis and in-memory computing, McDermott added.
"For now, I think we have the assets we need to win," he said.
McDermott and Dalgaard first met on Sept. 27 at SuccessFactors' suburban office in San Mateo, the executives said. McDermott said he "personally" evaluated a number of cloud computing competitors -- including having dinners with their executives -- before deciding to buy SuccessFactors. Competing with Oracle wasn't a driving factor in the deal, he said. One asset SAP gains is Dalgaard himself.
Software as a Service
Dalgaard, 44, will have the job of overseeing SAP's broad software-as-a-service efforts, including its Business ByDesign Web programs for midsized companies. Peter Lorenz, an SAP executive vice president in charge of the group of products, will report to him, McDermott said.
"Lars will oversee the entire SAP cloud," McDermott said. "This is our catalyst."
Owning SuccessFactors, which helps companies decide which employees to retain and how much to pay them, can help SAP sell "human capital management" software to the highest echelons of its customers' management, McDermott said. SuccessFactors may also add programs for handling logistics and supply-chain operations, Dalgaard said.
Termination Charge
There will be a termination fee of $112.5 million in certain circumstances if the deal falls through, SuccessFactors said today.
"The talent management market will probably be worth about $3.5 billion this year," Otter said. "SAP has essentially spent what the whole market will be worth this year in one swoop. It is a lot to pay for a niche in their portfolio, but human resources technology is a hot space."
The global market for cloud services may surge to $148.8 billion in 2014 from $68.3 billion in 2010, Gartner estimates.
Brendan Barnicle, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Oregon, said SAP may need to make more cloud acquisitions.
"They've now got a very good basis here, but I would expect them to make smaller acquisitions in cloud to complement this," he said in an interview. "Maybe they'd look at someone in expense management, like Concur Technologies Inc., or in procurement, like Ariba Inc."
Ariba gained 14 percent in U.S. trading today, while Concur climbed 11 percent.
Oracle's Acquisitions
While Oracle has spent more than $42 billion on takeovers since the beginning of 2005, SAP had only made only two large acquisitions in its 39-year history before SuccessFactors: Sybase, a maker of mobile-device applications, for $5.8 billion in May of last year, and business-intelligence company Business Objects for 4.8 billion euros in 2007.
"They need to make acquisitions," Ray Wang, head of San Francisco-based Constellation Research, a research and advisory firm focused on technology, said in an interview. "Innovation now happens at startups and SuccessFactors is a lot like a startup."
SAP has added three categories since May 2010: mobile-computing software; Hana real-time analytics technology; and software that can be accessed over the Internet. Hana and mobile made up 10 percent of third-quarter sales, Snabe said on Nov. 17, adding that SAP aims to add product categories to accelerate sales growth.
'M&A Factory'
Siemens AG, Exxon Mobil Corp. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. are among more than 176,000 companies that use SAP's applications to order goods, plan inventory levels and manage sales. The company is trying to sell them mobile software gained through the Sybase acquisition and the Hana software, which lets companies analyze data in a computer's memory instead of through slower disk drives.
SAP, the largest maker of business-management software, has more than 20 people dedicated to integrating acquired companies in the information-technology department, Chief Information Officer Oliver Bussmann said.
"We have an M&A factory at SAP," he said in an interview in San Francisco on Nov. 30.
Gartner's Otter says SAP's more aggressive M&A strategy may spark a reaction from its U.S. archrival.
"Oracle took the first move with the acquisition of RightNow and SAP needed to respond," he said. "Given Oracle's propensity to acquire, this is going to heat things up."

Uncertainty Briefly Creeps Back Into the Market After Hours
It didn't take long for uncertainty about Washington brinksmanship to creep back into the market.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 4 points in after-hours trading, after briefly falling as many as 69 points, following a New York Times report that the Obama Administration rejected a proposal from House Republicans to raise the country's debt limit for six weeks.
On Thursday, the Dow roared more than 323 points in its second-biggest percentage gain this year, and biggest point gain since December 2011.
The rally came after what looked like a breakthrough as the government as the deadline looms for Congress to extend the debt limit. Thursday's gains all but erased the market's declines suffered since the government partially shut down on Oct. 1.
Timothy Leach, chief investment officer at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said to expect market volatility until lawmakers "cross the goal line" and pass the debt-limit extension.
"We've been through is tug-of-war before, and I think there's still going to be some disappointment," said Timothy Leach, chief investment officer at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. "Every time we get our hopes dashed, it's going to have a heighted anxiety and reaction."
Other traders said that the latest exchange isn't likely to create chaos in the market, in part because Thursday's progress indicated a willingness for both sides to come together.
"I would be surprised if it was a problematic Friday trade just because they didn't agree to the deal," said David Robin, co-head of financial futures and options at brokerage Newedge.
"Ultimately, the marketplace believes a deal is going to get done," Mr. Robin said. "I don't' think we'll see price action that we've seen, where the market is scared to death about what's going to happen over the weekend."

The Buck & The Beard: Steelers lineman Brett Keisel is an avid outdoorsman
The morning after the Steelers' 13-9 win over Kansas City, Brett Keisel slept in. It was a Sunday night game, the team's chartered plane had touched down at Pittsburgh International Airport in the wee hours, and the defensive end still felt sore all over in the morning. But Monday, Nov. 28, was a special day for Keisel -- the opening of Pennsylvania's statewide rifle deer season.

BOARDMAN, Ohio -- Several 49ers weighed in on Twitter to roar this disgust Monday night with the officials' ruling that NFC West-rival Seattle beat the Green Bay Packers 14-12 on a Hail Mary touchdown catch.
Replacement officials ruled that Golden Tate caught Russell Wilson's 24-yard pass and that it wasn't intercepted by Green Bay Packers safety M.D. Jennings. Here are some 49ers instant reactions:
-- Center Jonathan Goodwin (@jgoody59): "This will be the biggest blunder in the history of sport! . If that stands!"
-- Cornerback Perrish Cox (@pcox16): "Is the refs workin for the buffalo wild wings commercial?"
-- Right tackle Anthony Davis (@BamDavis76): "Thats f------ up what they did to greenbay. People work to hard to be cheated."
-- CEO Jed York (@JedYork): "Good night hanging with family & friends in Youngstown. Did I miss anything on #MNF"
-- Kicker David Akers (@DavidAkers2): "All I can say is WOW!!!"
-- Left tackle Joe Staley (@JStaley74): "Seriously this is insane. #MNF"
-- Safety C.J. Spillman (@CJSpillman27): "What in the world is going on w the game tonight crazy ending! I thought that was a pick!"
-- Defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois (@Freakyjean95):"Where is the pass Interference call."
(Add this from Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson (@RealPeterson21): "Com'on can we please get the real refs back. Destroying the game that we all grew to love. WOW!!!!!!")
This now stands as the centerpiece of the NFL's maddening saga of fielding replacement officials.
And this is how the NFC West stands: Arizona Cardinals 3-0, 49ers 2-1, Seahawks 2-1 and St. Louis Rams 1-2. No other conference in the league has as many combined wins as the ever-ridiculed NFC West.

- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- cracked pepper
- 8 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
- In small sauce pan, add all ingredients. Stir continually over medium heat till warmed through.
- Serve over toast.
Most Helpful
Very tasty and you sure can't get much quicker. I didn't add any milk at all, but just added the tuna with it's water and as I had some fresh mushrooms to dispatch so I just chopped them up and used them up. One other thing I did differently and that was to use Stove Top stuffing in place of bread. Served with a side of fresh greens and dinner was a hit.
very very good and quick nothing is better then that thanks
I agree with Scimietta 99 about the wateryness. Made it as in recipe and found too much liquid. 1 cup frozen peas was simply too much. The peas gave an overpowering taste and could not taste tuna. Good concept but needs tweeking substantially!

Draft Day Surprise With A French Twist
Saturday, 06.27.2009 / 12:03 AM ET / Draft History
By David Droschak
|Canes Draft Paradis Press Release
Draft History
If there was a team that appeared to go "off the board" with its first-round pick – close to four hours into the drawn-out proceedings -- it was the Canes, who took Quebec Junior League forward Philippe Paradis with the 27th overall selection.
Paradis is pure French Canadian and admitted he knows little, if anything, about North Carolina. Forget ordering some BBQ with hush puppies for awhile. That probably won't go so well when he gets to camp in a few months.
However, Paradis does know something about the Canes, though, saying he watched them in the 2009 playoffs and was glad to land with a solid organization.
The last time the Canes drafted this low as 25th in 2002 and Jim Rutherford landed goalie Cam Ward. Not too shabby for Gentleman Jim.
Paradis fit a need for the Canes of a forward with size at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds – and at just 18 years old – he's got a few years to fill out. However, 12 other players were ranked ahead of Paradis according TSN when Ron Francis approached the microphone in Montreal and made the selection.
On that "available list" was Landon Ferraro, the son of Ray Ferraro, who Hartford drafted in 1982 and was probably the sentimental favorite among old-time franchise fans. The Canes also passed on 6-3, 205-pound Carter Ashton, who was ranked 20th and is compared to Bill Guerin. Ashton was taken next by Tampa Bay.
But the Canes and player personal director Tony MacDonald scouted Paradis extensively this season, and had a good interview with him this week, convincing the brass he was the hard-charging forward of the future.
MacDonald liked the teenager's 96 mph slap shot, his physical play and intensity. It also should be noted that Paradis' team Shawinigan went to the Quebec Junior League finals, losing in a Game 7, and he plays with a bit of an edge, always a positive for a bigger player.
Paradis compared his style to former Hart Trophy winner Jarome Iginla of the Calgary Flames.
"I'm an intense player with good skill, good speed -- a physical guy. I finish my checks," said Paradis, who was surprised to go in the first round, saying he believed he would be selected between rounds two and five.
The Canes aren't noted for delving into young Quebec-area talent through the years, but Rutherford said that hasn't been by design. And really, after the first 5-10 picks in the NHL Draft, most selections are more personal preference and need than hype and pre-draft rankings.
"He was the next best player sitting there on our list," Rutherford said.
Rutherford was also approached several times on the floor seeking to swap picks, and passed, as he did on any trade bait that was left dangling on the draft room floor.
The Carolina GM has said all along he hopes to sign most of his free agents sitting on the fence, especially unrestricted forwards Erik Cole and Chad LaRose.
"I have not been very active here," Rutherford said. "Our goal has been to bring as much of our team back as we finished the season with. We'll have a better idea in the next week if LaRose and Cole are going to get signed. If not, I'm going to back off the early part of July because teams pay a premium for those free agents. There will be a lot of players available in August. But I hope we don't get to that point."
Day Two of the draft comes fast and furious, and picking at No. 51, the Canes are eyeing a player Rutherford hopes to steal.
"We feel pretty strong about the next two rounds," Rutherford said. "It's a pretty deep draft."
MacDonald's first draft as the player personnel director landed Zach Boychuk in the first round, who by all indications is going to be a very nice NHL player. Some may view the pick of Paradis as somewhat of a reach at No. 27. The Canes, on the other hand, are looking at a youngster who can fire the puck and isn't shy about posting up in front of the net. And Paradis will join a group of young forwards Carolina is beginning to stock-pile to eventually help support All-Star Eric Staal.

Harley-Davidson has given its dealers a technological assist by integrating its customer relationship management (CRM) system, Connect, with its TalonES dealer management system.
"It's the only true CRM/TalonES integration in the market," Kathy Koshgarian, manager of Vehicle Sales Excellence, stated in a press release. "The integration will eliminate duplicate entry of customer information and make it easy to access the latest information dealers use to create deals for quoting and selling motorcycles."
The integration was just one enhancement Harley-Davidson made recently to Connect. Others include outbound e-mail capabilities, automated pre-sale follow-up activities, multi-sales process templates, and the ability to import customer and sales opportunity data from any existing CRM system.
As a result, the company claims, in past six months it has signed a "significant number" of new license agreements with dealers, making Connect the most used CRM system among Harley dealers.
Designed by Harley-Davidson for its dealer network, Connect was launched in August 2007. Connect gives dealers direct access to Harley-Davidson-qualified leads. Dealers also benefit from sales process tracking and auto-populated follow-up activities.
Harley-Davidson claims that Connect dealers who have been on the system for at least six months are performing better than the rest of the dealer network in new motorcycle sales and customer satisfaction survey scores.
The company says that over the next several months, Connect will continue to grow.
"Harley-Davidson is committed to providing the best CRM system for our dealers," Jeff Merten, VP and general manager, North American Sales, stated. "We know we have an excellent resource available in Connect. Our goal is to implement Connect throughout the Harley-Davidson dealer network to ensure that we're providing our dealers with everything we can to make them successful when it comes to customer relationship management."

Who, What, Where, Now!
Lingerie and Martinis Mix with Charity
Fashion Show Benefits The Hunger Coalition

Last Wednesday, November 20, the glowing bar-top at Cornerstone was converted into a catwalk for booty-bearing local models. While outside, snow flurried onto an otherwise quiet Main Street, inside, music pumped throughout the jam-packed restaurant like a Ketchum-style Coyote Ugly.
Sixteen sexified models, including three boys and 13 girls, danced and strutted down the bar in lacy lingerie and soft, plushy robes. A wide-eyed and whistling crowd cheered them on, trying to fumble an iPhone camera in one hand and a cocktail in the other.
Sporting sleepwear and underwear from Ketchum Bed and Bath and PACT Apparel, familiar faces like Lexi and Emilie DuPont, Alexa Turzian, Katie Dondero, Abby Siebert, Lili Hansen, Charlotte Hemmings, Lily Fink-Debray and Cole Newcomb bared their shoulders, spun and posed with their best Blue Steel. Only a few couldn't contain smiles and a little blushing.
Coordinators Mimi and Mackenzie Harbaugh orchestrated the event from behind the scenes—dressing, styling and herding the nervous first-time models (and feeding them plenty of wine to curb the jitters).
Like most fun parties we throw in Ketchum, this one also benefited an important local charity—The Hunger Coalition. Guest bartenders Brooke McKenna, James Fisher and Candice Pate shook martinis over their shoulders, swirled samples of fine wine and poured some stiffies to loosen everyone up for the naked-fest. "Please feed the hungry children, but don't feed the models," laughed Cornerstone co-owner, Meg Vorm.
Twenty-five percent of all dinner and appetizer proceeds went to the Hunger Coalition, as well as a portion of the bar sales for the night. Baby beauties and models-in-training, Emma Coulthard and Kai Curtis, walked around collecting cash donations from excited and increasingly generous attendees ($600 total—great job girls!)
"Dina [the owner of Ketchum Bed and Bath] did a great job pulling this together in just a few weeks," said Brooke McKenna of the Hunger Coalition. "It was a really fun event."
Sun Valley Magazine intern (and apparently hot-bodied male model), Cole Newcomb, had this to say about the night: "Dina roped me in, under the guise that I would be 'helping out with an event,' so I jumped at the opportunity to support the Hunger Coalition. Little did I know I'd be on the Cornerstone's bar in just my boxer briefs! It turned out to be a lot of fun, and it's great to see so many people come out to raise money and awareness, especially with the holidays coming up."
As Mimi mentioned while she emceed the show, gentlemen looking for last-minute Christmas presents couldn't have found a better surprise for their lady-lover (or themselves, really). Stop by Ketchum Bed and Bath for all the best, coziest and sexiest in Christmas bedwear!
Huge thank you to Meg and Erik Vorm at the Cornerstone and to all the brave and beautiful models!

All about Rays was a VERY VERY fun excursion. You get to snorkel and see some huge fish, rays and colorful little fish, you get to also spend time in the shallows with the rays that move around your feet and you get to hold them. It's so awesome. Also they do hermit crab races, there are parrots, iguana, snacks & drinks. Also, when you are done with the formal snorkel and shallow part you can swim and jump off of a really fun water trampoline. The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive and the excursion felt very safe and very fun. We had a BLAST at this excursion!
Traveled with a 7 yo son. Perfect excursion for us! We decided to do the all-inclusive Beach Resort day and boy am I glad that we did that. It was perfect, there was a pool, a nice beach, as much food and alcohol as you could drink and a very pleasant drive on an air conditioned bus past mangroves and flamingos. We had a blast playing in the sun all day long. They do have a separate play area for smaller kids with a little slide that even my 7 yo had fun playing on. The food was delicious and the waiters were very attentive. Tipped them $5 and it was appreciated.
