Newly-crowned RING/WBC flyweight champ Sonny Boy Jaro (left) with longtime friend Denver Cuello
RIZAL, Philippines – There was a time when strawweight contender Denver Cuello was advocating for his promoter, Aljoe Jaro, to help out his friend Sonny Boy Jaro (no relation). Cuello and Sonny Boy had long been friends and stablemates, but Sonny Boy had chosen to go into business for himself, taking fights on short notice for the money and accruing unnecessary losses as a result.
Sonny Boy Jaro found himself relegated to trial horse status and his career was going nowhere.
"Denver told me, 'Sir, please help Sonny Boy,'" recalled Aljoe Jaro, who now promotes both and owns the open-aired second floor gym where they both train in Binangonan, Rizal, Philippines. "He's a good friend of Denver, so I said. 'OK.'"
Just last week, the gamble paid off with a colossal upset, as Sonny Boy Jaro became Jaro Boxing's second world titlewinner (first was IBF strawweight beltholder Florante Condes in 2007) by stopping long-reigning flyweight kingpin Pongsaklek Wongjongkam in Thailand to take his WBC title and become THE RING's flyweight champion.
For the 25-year-old Cuello (29-4-6, 19 knockouts), the turnaround of his stablemate has provided additional motivation as he prepares to make his move in boxing's lightest division.
"I knew that Sonny Boy has a strong punch and that if he can just hit his opponent, he can become champion. I believe the same for me," said THE RING's no. 7 strawweight contender Cuello, who fights Indonesian Kid Suryana (7-1, 4 KO) at Jaro Plaza in his hometown of Iloilo City, Philippines this Saturday in the ten-round main event. As is common in the Philippines, tickets begin at just 100 pesos, or about $2.50 USD. The most expensive ringside ticket is 500 pesos, or about $12 USD.
The Suryana fight, which will be his first in his home province, will serve as the final tuneup before he prepares to meet Mexican contender Ganigan Lopez (20-4, 14 KO) in an elimination bout to determine the mandatory challenger to WBC strawweight titleholder Kazuto Ioka of Japan. Jaro says the Cuello-Lopez bout will likely take place on May 12 in the Philippines, but isn't so sure about when — or if — the Ioka bout will happen.
"I don't know yet, because I heard from Japan that Ioka will move to 108 because he doesn't want to fight Denver," said Jaro, who claims he reached out to Ioka's promoter to make the fight as a voluntary defense but was rebuffed.
A Facebook message to Kazuto Ioka requesting comment was not answered, and this writer's profile was subsequently blocked from further contact.
Unlikely Rise
Rodolfo Roble, a long-time assistant of Aljoe Jaro, remembers the first day they set eyes on Cuello. It was 2003 and Cuello was just 15 years old. He was already a top local amateur and had come to Manila in search of a gym and promoter to begin his pro career. Cuello weighed just 98 pounds and was thin as a rail. He was eating with the locals, as Jaro usually served breakfast to many of the impoverished residents.
"I asked Aljoe, 'Who is this kid?,' asked Roble.
"According to him, he's a boxer," responded Jaro.
For a year, Cuello trained with the team, which included the physically imposing specimens of Condes and Sonny Boy. Both could bench press 190 pounds, nearly twice their own weight, while Cuello was far from his physical prime. But Cuello turned pro at age 16, losing a split-decision to another 16-year old, which he followed with a draw in his next outing. Cuello would lose twice more by TKO before his 18th birthday, but Jaro didn't lose faith. He saw the potential in the growing young man, who began to assert himself more in the gym.
"We took notice of him when Condes needed sparring and he could not hit Cuello," said Jaro. "Even Sonny Boy had trouble with him. We used to call him 'Sparring King.' Nobody beats him in the sparring."
In an ironic twist, Cuello, who once was the apprentice under Condes, is now rated two spots above him on THE RING's ratings.
Since 2006, Cuello has lost just once, when in 2010, he rose off the canvas in round one against recent title challenger Juan Hernandez in Mexico. In the third, he knocked Hernandez down with a body shot, and as Hernandez was going down, landed another body shot before the referee, who was out of position, could send Cuello to the neutral corner. Cuello was originally awarded the KO win, but the referee reversed the decision shortly after and disqualified Cuello.
But Cuello's work in Mexico has earned him the attention of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who now co-promotes Cuello under his Canelo Promotions alongside Jaro.
For Aljoe Jaro, the success of Sonny Boy Jaro has implications for his other rising young talent in the gym.
"Denver is very happy that Sonny became champion because Denver is without a doubt the uncrowned champion," he said.

NO BULLYING: Play teaches students why they should avoid it
Published: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 10:09 p.m.
A theatrical version of the children's book "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig" is teaching students in all of Tuscaloosa City Schools' elementary schools something about bullying.
'The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig'
- 8:45 a.m. at Oakdale Elementary
- 9:50 a.m. at Central Elementary
- 12:20 p.m. at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary
- 1:30 p.m. at University Place Elementary
Monday, 0ct. 21
- 8:45 a.m. at Woodland Forrest Elementary
- 9:50 a.m. at Southview Elementary
- 12:20 p.m. at Skyland Elementary
- 1:30 at Northington Elementary
Seventeen students from Brent Jones' theater production class at Paul W. Bryant High School are traveling around Tuscaloosa, doing 12 performances total as a part of the school system's Harassment Awareness Learning Together program.
"I picked it because it has a bully, and that bully learns a lesson about how his life can be so much better if he treats people right," Jones said. "That's the lesson we are trying to teach the kids."
HALT is a proactive, preventive approach to bullying that was implemented last year, said Vickie Brown, director of student services. It uses pledges, posters, bracelets and monthly activities to reinforce the anti-bullying principles in students from kindergarten to 12th grade.
This is the second year that a play has been used as a teaching method for HALT in the elementary schools.
"I think these younger students look to the older students as role models, and I think they are positive role models. Sometimes I think it's even better to hear it from peers," Brown said. "I think it has a powerful message and helps us get the message out about how we are trying to create a positive environment where we respect each other and bullying is not tolerated."
Deberah Miller, Arcadia Elementary School's principal, said the play was beneficial for the students but so are the in-class activities.
"I think it's good to have balance — they need to see it in all aspects of all areas, but the play was something that they could relate to," she said. "It was a spinoff of the "Big Bad Wolf." ... I think because they did it to something the students were familiar with and could relate to, it grabbed their attention immediately."
In a reverse version of the children's story, three wolves are bullied by a big bad pig. By the end of the play, however, that pig has gone through a transformation.
Students at Rock Quarry, Verner, Alberta, Tuscaloosa Magnet Elementary and Arcadia saw performances Thursday.Four more schools will have their shows on Friday, and the final four will see it on Monday.
"We had a multipurpose room of roughly 330 students, and throughout the entire play, the entire student body was engaged," Miller said "To me, it really represents the importance of having fine arts as a part of the curriculum. I was also interested listening to the students' conversations as they exited the multipurpose room. ... That just shows the carry-over."
Bringing the kids into the production, they were asked before the play who knew of the program HALT and asked to pay attention to who the bully was and what lesson he learned over the course of the play.
Jones asked the kids to answer the questions at the end of the show and said the audiences at each school seemed engaged with the performance.
"It's almost like watching TV for them — they get to see it coming to life," said Tamar Wilson, counselor at Alberta Elementary School. "They get to see the different personalities, especially with a play like that with the sound effects. It made it all the more fun for them."
Each performance is free and open to the public. In order to attend, anyone interested must first sign as a visitor with the school.

Maybe now we'll find out what happened to Nightclub Dwight!
Photo by Patrick Costello
Before they moved to New York and formed the Hold Steady, Craig Finn and TadKubler made up half of Lifter Puller, a Minneapolis band who broke up before many had a chance to hear them. If you've never heard Lifter Puller, try to imagine a version of the Hold Steady that marries Finn's splenetic, broken rants to jagged, terse 90s indie rather than blustery, meat-and-potatoes bar-rock– where Archers of Loaf figure way more heavily than Thin Lizzy. Kubler served as bassist for Lifter Puller, so his flashy guitar heroics were entirely absent, but Finn's dense, vivid lyrical style remains virtually unchanged.
Lifter Puller formed in 1994 and called it quits in 2000, only finding an internet-based cult following after their breakup. Other than a few one-off reunion shows in 2003, the band has remained entirely inactive since the breakup.
But with an upcoming series of reissues, as well as a book, Lifter Puller are going to be introduced to a whole new audience.
On December 1, the Orchard will digitally release the band's entire catalog, making it the first time this music has been available digitally. 1997's Half Dead and Dynamite, 1998's The Entertainment and Arts EP, and 2000's Fiestas & Fiascos will all be available with bonus live tracks, while the band's 1997 self-titled debut will be released it is original form.
The Orchard will also release a singles/odds-and-ends set called Slip Backwards. We've got tracklists for everything below, as well as a live version of "To Live and Die in LBI" recorded in 1998 at the Minneapolis club 7th Street Entry, one of the bonus tracks on the Half Dead and Dynamite reissue.
December will also see the publication of Lifter Puller Vs. the End Of, a Lifter Puller-themed book that Finn put together alongside Girls Guide to Rocking author Jessica Hopper (full disclosure: Hopper is a friend of mine). The book will include pictures, lyrics, interviews, and testimonials.

I saw some good signs for the season in the Swansea game, and it's always nice to see the team get off to a strong start.
Wellbeck had a great season, and was only missing goals from his overall game. Seeing him score in the Sydney pre-season game, and the two goals yesterday, one poached, one a great finish, it looks like that could well be less of a problem for him this time around.
RVP, well, we all know about him.
Valencia not being in the 7 shirt was... interesting. If they've freed up the number 7 for someone new, that implies a bit of confidence in a move still happening. He played decently, too.
Slightly disappointed Zaha didn't get off the bench, but no sense rushing him. I'm really looking forward to seeing him and Lindgaard get their chances as the season goes on.

Penny Marshall: A League of Her Own
The Actor, Director and Cancer Survivor Looks Back on Her 'Charmed and Lucky Life'
She's joking-but not long ago Marshall's health was no laughing matter. Diagnosed in 2009 with both a brain tumor and lung cancer, the director and actor best known for her role in TV's Laverne & Shirley endured a very real brush with death. After surgery, radiation and chemo, Marshall went into remission and today is "fine," she says-though not thrilled about the 60 lbs. she gained during treatment. "Everybody else loses weight, but somehow I got fat!" she quips. She opens up about the cancer and more in My Mother Was Nuts, titled in honor of the woman she credits for her own dry humor. "She called me 'the bad seed.' My mom was funny, sarcastic," says Marshall of her late mother, Marjorie, who ran a dance studio when Marshall and sibs Garry, 77, and Ronny Hallin, 74, were kids. "That's where we got it."
It's served Marshall well. Sitting in her Los Angeles home surrounded by mementos, the mother of one (Tracy Reiner, 48, with first husband Mike Henry) knows she has a lot to be thankful for. In summer 2009, friends "told me I was walking funny; I didn't feel anything." When scans revealed cancer, she tried to laugh it off. "I said, 'Is the car still here? Could you send them for some White Castle?'"
Now cancer-free, she says she'd like to direct-particularly TV. "The movie business is in the toilet," she says. "All they want is vampires and car chases." For now, the grandmother of three is just enjoying peace and quiet. "My life is busy, not with show business, but with life," says Marshall. "I'm lucky."

The Weight of Wonder
The Weight of Wonder
epoxy covered pebbles
1000×400 cm
15 tons of pink pebbles cover the 100-meter long path to a historical castle.
One treads a "story book" walkway, exotic and whimsical, inviting the visitor to approach the majestic castle and leave the "real world" behind. Though this fanciful passage is no illusion, occupying a very definite span within the weights and measurements of reality.
Questions arise concerning how our sense of history and the ideal may fit so comfortably into frivolous packaging.

Hi, I was wondering how many mini loaves you can get from a full size loaf recipe? Also how do I adjust the cooking time?
Q: Can I make mini-loaves from my recipe ? A: Yes, but you have to do a few things first: Convert baking pan sizes: A typical 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan holds 8 cups. An 8 1/2" x 4-1/2" x 2-1/2" loaf pan holds 6 cups. An 8" x 4" x 2-1/2" loaf pan holds four cups. You have to calculate how much your mini pans hold, as all mini pan sizes vary. Measure the capacity of a mini pan: Fill a large measuring cup with water, taking note of its measurement. Pour water into the pan until it just reaches the very top. Make note of how much water was used. If it is a two-part pan, fill it with sugar or rice. Adjust baking times: The oven temperature should stay the same, but the baking times will be shorter. Since every mini pan size varies, estimate that the baking time will be 1/4 less than the recipe states for the large loafRE: Petite Loaf Pan Recipes Posted by: Redraspberrygirl Posted on: 10/28/2006 9:06:00 PM #R8278481 FOR MINI-LOAVES: Baking Chart Approx. Pan Size Amount of Batter Approx. BakeTime at 350ºF for 1 pan* 1/3 cup 1/4 cup 15 to 20 min 1/2 cup 2/3 cup 15 to 20 min 2/3 to 3/4 cup 1/2 cup 25 to 35 min 1 cup 3/4 cup 35 to 40 min *NOTE: If you have multiple pans in the oven at once, baking times will increase.
Thanks for the great info - it was very helpful.
I have a simpler method.
I cut off one small piece of dough I think will fit into a mini pan, give it a fast keand and shape and put it into the pan. If is between half and 2/3 full. If it is not have the righ quantitiy I either pinch off a pice or add a piece. Then I weigh it and proceed by cutting pieces of the same size, weighing each and fill my pans.
I do the same with my regular bread baking. 20 cups of white flour (plud what I need for knrading) yield 7 lg loaves. 20 cups of fresh ground whole hard white wheat flour yield 5 loaves because the bread is heavier and more dense.
The oaves from white flour weigh 2 1/4 lbs (raw dough) and the whole wheat 3 lbs of raw dough per lg pan.
I am curious: how do you measure dough in cups???? You still have to divide your big batch of dough in order to make small ones so do you try to fill cups and do it that way???? (I would find thatvery inconvenient and think weighing is much easier)
I use a 9 x 5 regular loaf....that makes three mini loaves for me, or 8 of the cute tiny loaves. Easy. Works out every time.
This is my first post to this forum. Thank you for allowing me to butt in.
I really appreciate the inforrmation so far provided. The thing I am wondering about is now that i have measured my various mini-pans, is there a rule to thumb to know how much batter to put in? I ask this because in my attermpts to guess, my pans have overflowed. Fortunately I had put them on cookie sheet. Perhaps I should mention that I am filling them with cake batter.
Filling my pans with water, I see I have some that hold 1.5 cups, others that hold 2, others that hold 3.
Thank you for your help.
Sister Gloriamarie
I always fill 2/3 full and never have a problem with over-flow. I think if you bake it at too high a temperature, it will rise too fast and spill. I bake mine at 325 degrees, which is slower and therefore, it bakes more in the middle, so by the time it rises, it's solid enough not to spill over.

DANG, Kristin Cavallari
8/26/2014 9:00 AM PDT, by Sarah Taylor
Dang, Kristin Cavallari -- if we could all look this fab just a couple of months after birthing a baby, wouldn't life take on an entirely different meaning? No, it wouldn't, actually, but that doesn't take away any from Kristin's presence.
See, it's OK to celebrate womens' post-baby bodies no matter what they look like ... and if you're pretty close to what Kristin appears to be and you're happy about it, so be it. If you're not so close to resembling Cavallari and still comfortable with who you are, that's totally OK, too, because it's not about winning some contest: it's about being healthy and being proud of the fact that you carried a baby in your uterus in the neighborhood of 40 weeks and gave life to a tiny little human being.
Some of us look as good as Kristin, and some of us don't -- but the bottom line is that we all ended up with the best parting gifts of all, didn't we?

Almost 1 million Californians cross the border into Mexico for healthcare, many of them for dental care because they have no dental insurance, according to a study by the Center for Health Policy Research at UCLA.The numbers may be even higher because the data used was gathered from a 2001 health interview survey and did not take into account the recession and rising unemployment of the last few years."We suspect the number has grown by leaps and bounds," said Gil Ojeda, executive director of the California Program on Access to Care, told the Sacramento Bee.The study found that 77.6 percent of Mexican immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for less than 15 years have no dental insurance. Not surprisingly, the most common service obtained by immigrants crossing back into Mexico was dental care.This summer, the state plans to eliminate the adult Denti-Cal program due to budget cuts."What's going to happen is that a lot of people are going to cross over the border to get their dental care," Ojeda said.For more information on discount dental plans, call 1-888-632-5353

What a fab school, thank you!
We have always been impressed with WPS and the level of teaching and this year is no exception…she has had a great year and we couldn't be happier
A truly wonderful year for .. , she has matured, gained massively in confidence and exceeded our expectations. We attribute this to the caring, nurturing nature of the school. Every member of staff is enthusiastic and really wants to make a difference to every child. We would like to thank you all for making such a difference to ..'s life. Moving her to Wales was the best decision we could have ever made!
…is much more secure now and although keeping his self esteem up is sometimes an on-going battle he is so much better at handling change and anything "out of the ordinary" than he was.
I would like to thank all at Wales Primary School for the great support you have shown ….at your school.
It says a great deal when …'s number one aim in life is to become a primary school teacher and whenever she has any spare time on her hands she is always getting some practice in!
Thanks for such great teaching!
In his last school ... had stopped learning, he had a bad attitude and we were really worried. Since he moved to WPS we have seen such a change he loves coming to school and what's more he has made such progress. The move of schools was the best decision we have ever made, thank you so much for giving us the old .. back!
When I go to my support group I always tell them that when… is in school I have no worries at all, I know he will be safe and happy and everyone is doing the best for him.
The school is pushing his abilities which is fantastic!
Thank you so much to her teachers for making her days so enjoyable

We are very proud of our school and work very hard to ensure that all our children feel happy and secure here and that they are helped to achieve their full potential through a broad, stimulating, and relevant curriculum.

The Morning Ledger: Easy Credit Buys Time for Retailers

Easy credit is delaying the retail industry's day of reckoning. Investors, desperate for higher returns, are eagerly lending to risky borrowers like RadioShack, Sears and J.C. Penney, buying the chains time to try to turn around their businesses in the face of weak sales and fierce competition, writes CFOJ's Vipal Monga in today's Marketplace section. Retailers can borrow money by pledging collateral such as inventories and buildings. But the loans can be expensive, putting pressure on businesses by increasing their interest burdens.
A building boom in the years before the credit crisis has left the U.S. with a surplus of stores. While chains like Gap are scaling back, some analysts think it will take a few bankruptcies and liquidations to bring the market back into balance. "What you've got here is a market that still has more players than are necessary," said Antony Karabus, CEO of Hilco Retail Consulting. "They've bought themselves time, but they're still all eating from the same pie."
It's telling that the more-prominent retailers to have raised rescue financing recently are ones that cater to middle-class shoppers. While discount retailers such as Dollar General and luxury-oriented chains such as Neiman Marcus are gaining market share, Wal-Mart, J.C. Penney, and Sears have been losing ground. "The middle-tier types of firms are suffering," said Jack Kleinhenz, chief economist for the National Retail Federation. "There is a lot of competition in retail, and they have very thin margins. There's going to be a sorting among retailers."
The consumer price index for November is expected to come in unchanged, while core CPI is seen inching up 0.1%, the Calculated Risk blog notes. That should give the Fed some food for thought as it weighs whether to rein in its bond-buying program.
Markets flash: Asia ended mostly higher. Europe is trading lower ahead of the start of the Fed's two-day policy meeting today. DJIA futures are also down slightly.
Profit growth outpaces dividends at S&P 500 firms. With dividends poised for another record year, in terms of dollars returned to shareholders, it might be easy to conclude that companies are being historically generous. That isn't exactly true, writes Maxwell Murphy. Members of the S&P 500 paid out just 33% of their reported earnings per share in the form of dividends during the third quarter. That's down from the quarterly average of almost 45% since 1988 and an average of nearly 52% since 1936, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst for S&P Dow Jones Indices. The largest dividend payers in the index during their most recently reported quarter were Exxon Mobil, at $2.77 billion; Apple, at just under $2.77 billion; and AT&T, at about $2.40 billion. "Nervousness about the economy and their businesses" continues to keep corporate purse strings tight, Mr. Silverblatt says.
Herbalife: 'No material changes' found in reaudit. Herbalife said its new auditor has given it a clean bill of health—which could be bad news for William Ackman, the hedge-fund manager betting against Herbalife's stock. The company said PwC, which took over as its auditor in May, has completed its reaudit of financial statements from 2010 through 2012 with "no material changes." The reaudit represents "further validation of the company's financial statements and business model," Herbalife CFO John DeSimone told the WSJ. "Mr. Ackman's thesis is wrong." Mr. Ackman's firm, Pershing Square, said it is "not the role of Herbalife's auditor to determine if the company is a pyramid scheme," and maintained that the company "will be shut down by regulators."
Glaxo to stop paying doctors to promote drugs. GlaxoSmithKline will no longer pay doctors to promote its products and will stop tying compensation of sales representatives to the number of prescriptions doctors write, the NYT reports. Glaxo will no longer pay health-care professionals to speak on its behalf about its products or the diseases they treat "to audiences who can prescribe or influence prescribing." The announcement appears to be a first for a major drug company and it comes at a sensitive time for Glaxo. It is the subject of a bribery investigation in China, where authorities contend the company funneled illegal payments to doctors and government officials in an effort to lift drug sales.
Tech firms push to control Internet's backbone. Tech giants like Google and Facebook are expanding efforts to control more of the world's Internet backbone, raising tensions with telecom companies over who runs the Web, the WSJ's Drew Fitzgerald and Spencer E. Ante write. In the past year, these companies that supply much of the world's online content have ramped up their investment in Internet infrastructure. The moves include bringing online new submarine and underground cables they have funded, striking long-term agreements to lease so-called dark fiber, and building their own networking hardware. Google's capital spending rose to $2.3 billion last quarter—twice as much as analysts were predicting—mostly to cover the cost of new computers, data centers and land. Patrick Pichette, the company's CFO, said investors should consider that spending jump "a very positive signal."
Loehmann's files for bankruptcy. Off-price clothing retailer Loehmann's will start shutting down its 39 U.S. stores next month after failing to find a buyer to keep the 92-year-old discounter in business, the WSJ reports. A trio of liquidation firms has agreed to conduct going-out-of-business sales at Loehmann's stores starting in early January, but their offer will be put to a test at an auction proposed for later this month. Three "strategic financial buyers" also remain involved in the process, leaving open the possibility that a going-concern buyer could still step in and keep some or all of the stores open. Loehmann's said it would use the liquidation proceeds to repay its debts, which top $100 million.
Volcker rule's wide reach comes into view. The effects of the week-old Volcker rule are being felt thousands of miles from Wall Street, the WSJ reports. Financial institutions and investors are scrambling to line up a new way to finance municipal-bond investments, with the rule set to curtail banks' dealings in so-called tender-option bonds. Meanwhile, more than a dozen small and midsize banks likely will need to sell collateralized debt obligations under a Volcker rule provision limiting certain risky bank investments. Zions Bancorp said yesterday it would have to sell some CDOs, and that it would take a $387 million charge to write down the value of the securities. Zions' move shows that some banks continue to hold significant chunks of risky, hard-to-value assets on their books, fueling uncertainty among investors about their true financial health.
CFTC aims to export swaps rules. The CFTC wants to force overseas financial firms to comply with certain U.S. rules, a move likely to stoke criticism the U.S. is bidding to become the de facto global financial regulator. The CFTC is preparing to say that multiple rules developed by the EU and five other jurisdictions governing swaps aren't strict enough, clearing the way for the CFTC to impose its regulations on much of the global swaps market, the WSJ reports.
Zurich Insurance Group named George Quinn as its new chief financial officer. He also will become a member of the group executive committee on May 1. Most recently, Mr. Quinn was the CFO for Swiss Re Group since March 2007. Swiss Re said Monday it has started to search for a replacement. Mr. Quinn replaces Pierre Wauthier, who committed suicide in August, blaming the company's chairman, Josef Ackermann, for creating an unbearable work environment. Mr. Ackermann denied any responsibility for Mr. Wauthier's death, but resigned to protect the company's reputation. Mr. Quinn's compensation information was not disclosed.
Vulcan Materials, a Birmingham, Ala.-based producer of asphalt mix, concrete and cement, named John McPherson executive vice president and chief financial officer. Previously, he was senior vice president of Vulcan's east region. He succeeds Dan Sansone, who was named executive vice president of strategy. Mr. Sansone plans to retire from the company at the end of next year. Compensation information was not immediately available.
InVivio Therapeutics Holdings, a medical device maker in Cambridge, Mass., named Steven McAllister as interim CFO, effective Dec. 31. He succeeds Gregory Perry, the former CFO of Immunogen, who was named interim CFO on Sept. 17. Mr. Perry is leaving to join another local biotech company as CFO and business officer. Mr. McAllister served as vice president for finance and administration for Biomet Spine and Bone Healing Technologies.

Joko Widodo Goes West With a Message
SERANG, Indonesia—Jakarta Gov. Joko Widodo set off on day trip to populous west Java to thank supporters and ask for help keeping an eye on the vote count after last week's tightly contested presidential election, which he and his rival, former general Prabowo Subianto, both claim to have won.
The slow process of officially counting more than 130 million ballots won't end until July 22, when official results will be made public.
In the meantime, Mr. Widodo, who frequently visits local communities and checks up on city services, is taking the time to spread a message that an honest count in a notoriously corrupt country will confirm his victory.
"My purpose in coming here is to ensure the results don't change" during the vote-counting process, Mr. Widodo said at his party's headquarters in Serang, Banten province, about two hours outside of Jakarta.
Vigilance by supporters, he said, would ensure that any cheating would be exposed. "Everybody's watching," he added.
Most of the unofficial quick count tallies from private organizations that have accurately predicted past elections put Mr. Widodo ahead of Mr. Subianto by a margin of 4-6 percentage points. A few less-proven pollsters put Mr. Subianto in the lead.
Even the quick counts that predict a win for Mr. Widodo show he fared poorly in Banten, one of Indonesia's most populous provinces and stronghold among the conservative Islamic parties backing Mr. Subianto. During a visit Wednesday, however, crowds of supporters flocked to take pictures and walk with him down the street.
Mr. Widodo led a caravan from Jakarta of more than 15 vans – most carrying media – on his westward journey. Shortly before noon, he stopped at a gas station to perform mid-day prayers at an adjacent mosque. In Serang it was an afternoon of celebration, despite a sudden downpour that flooded parts of one of the city. At a house transformed into a volunteer campaign center an MC punctuated Mr. Widodo's short speech with shouts of President Jokowi, the governor's nickname.
"I really appreciate what you have done," said Mr. Widodo. "Myself and (Jusuf Kalla) can't give you anything in return except thank you very much," he said, referring to his running mate.

Union negotiations
A shift in priorities
The Waterbury Teachers Association enters negotiations for its next three-year contract in the middle of a perfect fiscal and public-policy storm, as radical proposals for education reform, an impending financial crisis at City Hall, and an imperative to focus more sharply on school security in wake of Friday's Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, swirl around the talks that began last Wednesday.
First, several schools in Connecticut will add at least 300 hours of classroom time in 2013-14 as the state joins a five-state pilot program. Waterbury schools are not among the participants, but if the reform yields good academic results — and there's good reason for optimism — the terms of teachers union contracts will require potentially costly and controversial adjustments.

calligraphy.- Careful hand-lettering, handwriting, or the decorative art of lettering in an ornamental style using brushes or pens. Or the lettering that is produced in this way.
There are many kinds of calligraphy. In some cultures, calligraphy is more important as an art form than in others. Its importance is particularly great in China, Japan, and in Arabia (see Islamic art).
In Japan, shodo is "the way of calligraphy," principles through which to be in tune with the art form -- a sort of moving meditation, enhancing concentration, will-power, and composure. Gyosho is calligraphy in a semi-cursive style, and hentaigana or man'yogana is an antiquated calligraphy script that makes use of Chinese characters (kanji) utilized phonetically. A kakejuku is a hanging scroll used for mounting pieces of calligraphy. Kasure are calligraphic dry brush strokes. Kihitsu is the beginning of a brush stroke. Nenpo is a technique of producing a brushstroke that is literally the "twisting method." Nijimi are the wet, "bleeding" brushstrokes. In no-tan the caligrapher alternates the use of light and dark inks.
(pr. kuh-lig'ruh-fee)
Examples of calligraphy:
Attributed to Emperor Shomu (Japan), Nara Period, 8th century, Kengu-kyo Sutra, a Buddhist scripture also known as "Ojomu", brushed ink calligraphy on paper, 27.5 x 696.9 cm, Tokyo National Museum. Japanese authorities have designated this a "National Treasure." See Buddhist art.
Northeastern Iran or Transoxiana, Bowl with epigraphic and vegetal decoration, 10th century, earthenware with white slip covering and decoration in pigments under a transparent glaze, 3 1/8 x 8 7/8 inches (8.1 x 22.5 cm), Los Angeles County Museum of Art. There is a black calligraphic decoration in the outer white band. The provincial regions of northeastern Iran and western Turkestan were major ceramic centers during the ninth and tenth centuries. Typical of early Islamic art is ceramic ware featuring spare, restrained, and sophisticated abstract decoration, as on this bowl. Such wares characteristically show proverbs and blessings in Kufic script with letter forms having long, graceful descenders, as well as zigzag edging, calligraphic bird forms, and center medallions, here a palmette with scrolled leaf forms. Human figures are never depicted for religious reasons. There is a similar bowl in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. See Islamic art.
Mi Fu (Chinese, 1052-1107), Poem Written in a Boat on the Wu River, Northern Sung dynasty (960-1127), c. 1100, handscroll, ink on paper, 12 1/4 inches x 18 feet 3 1/4 inches (31.1 x 557 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. See Chinese art and scroll.
Ahmad ibn al-Suhrawardi al-Bakri (calligrapher, Baghdad, Iraq, Ilkhanid), Colophon page from a Qur'an manuscript, non-illustrated detached folio, 707 AH / CE 1308, ink, colors, and gold on paper, height 20 3/16 inches (51.3 cm) width 14 1/2 inches (36.8 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. See colophon, Islamic art, and page.
Iran, late 15th-early 16th century, Page From the Diwan (collected works) of Sultan Husain Mirza, opaque watercolor, decoupage, and gold on paper, 8 7/8 x 5 3/4 inches (22.5 x 14.6 cm), Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Attributed to Istanbul, Turkey, Ottoman, Tughra, single work, 16th century, gouache and gold leaf on paper, height 20 1/2 inches (52. 1 cm) width 25 3/8 inches (64.5 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.
Wen Zhengming (Chinese, 1470-1559), Bamboo, Orchids, Rock, and Calligraphy, Ming dynasty, c. 1530, handscroll; ink on paper; signature: seals of the artist in inscription; seals: (upper) Wen Zhengming yin, (lower) Zheng-Zhung, Worcester Art Museum, MA. See bamboo.
Turkey, c. 1575, Dragons Entwined On A Spray of Foliage, ink, color washes, and gold on paper, 7 1/8 x 3 3/4 inches (18.1 x 9.4 cm), Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Attributed to Iran, Safavid, Plaque, 17th century, cut and pierced steel, length 15 inches (38.1 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. See Islamic art and plaque.
American, 18th Century, Birth and Baptismal Certificate of Anne Andres, c. 1783, National Gallery, Washington, DC. See folk art.
United States of America, designed by calligrapher Mohamed Zakariya, Eid Mubarak, 33-cent stamp, 2000, commemorates the two most important festivals or eids in the Islamic calendar. Eid al-Adha marks the end of the hajj, the annual period designated for Muslims to make their pilgrimage to Mecca. Eid al-Fitr celebrates the end of the Ramadan fast. The Arabic phrase "Eid mubarak" translates into English as "blessed festival," and can be paraphrased, "May your religious holiday be blessed." See Islamic art and philately.

Definition of endotherm in English:
An animal that is dependent on or capable of the internal generation of heat. Often contrasted with ectotherm. Compare with homeotherm.
Example sentences
- They are endotherms and they can finely tune the thermal, water, and chemical balance of their bodies from minute to minute.

- Extant birds are accomplished endotherms and many maintain the highest body temperatures.
endothermy noun
- Example sentences
- 'How did endothermy evolve in mammals?'
- The main basis for the faster absorption of nutrients in mammals to fuel endothermy and increased activity relative to reptiles has been shown to be a much greater intestinal surface area in mammals.

Scanner Wars: What Is the TSA Hiding?
Posted on May 19, 2011
Six American university researchers have written a letter to White House science adviser John Holdren demanding to know why the TSA won't allow independent scientists to assess the safety of its controversial airport scanners.
Among the researchers' concerns is the fact that investigations into the scanners' safety were conducted by the manufacturers themselves on machines that aren't even used in airports. —ARK

The TSA PURPOSE is obedience training of adults. Its procedures are meant to strip people of their dignity publicly by demonstrating that they cannot protect themselves and/or their families from abusive atrocities conjured up by the USG to facilitate bribery and corruption for the politicians.

Come on guys. We all advocate for Universal Health Care, yet we are the only country in the world with one stop, free, check-ups. Only the US provides a chest x-ray, colonoscopy, and pelvic exam, complete with either a pap-smear or prostrate check as required. All of this for only the cost of a one way plane ticket to the nearest destination.
What a bargain!
By ExpatCZ, May 20, 2011 at 9:31 am Link to this comment
@Richard_Ralph_Roehl Really guy, your paranoia is a little over the top, and unfounded. Yes, there are a lot of things that I don't either like, or understand about the ways and means of our governmental agencies, but it doesn't mean that I adhere to "hasty generalization" or "bandwagon" propaganda techniques, in order to explain the aberrations. My funky twin sister holds similar conspiracy theories as well. Ameri(C)a is what it is, a diverse, crazy, interesting, cool place to be. But the old saying is, "love it, or leave it". I left. So here is my point, if you are not American, you have no right to comment. If you are American, and you continue to post with this kind of vernacular, then you should be ashamed of yourself. Leave the country, enjoy a different culture, less stress, fewer headaches. Then maybe you'll simply STFU.

Green Dragons double their pleasure
WINTER HAVEN - Lake Placid dominated Wednesday's Class 1A-District 6 swim meet as the boys and girls finished first to claim district titles at the Rowdy Gaines Pool. "I'm pretty pleased," said Lake Placid coach Tom Creel. "It was cloudy, not to cold and it was a prefect day for swimming. "We won by a lot more than we expected." The Green Dragon girls cruised to first with 557 points, All Saints placed a distant second with 359, Oasis Christian was third at 354, Lakeland Christian came in fourth with 304, Santa Fe Catholic had 156 and Frostproof finished with 93.The Lake Placid quartet of Courtney Sapp, Rachel Shattler, Hali Pollard and Shelby Allcorn won the 200-yard individual medley relay with a time of 2:09.85. Anne Weber Callahan finished first in the 100-yard freestyle in 57.70 and the Green Dragon junior was third in the 50-yard freestyle at 26.48. Lake Placid's Claire LeBlanc, Katie Dye, Allcorn and Callahan combined to place second in the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:49.34. Shattler was second in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:21.72 and Callahan, LeBlanc, Dye and Robbye Teal teamed up to win the 400-yard freestle relay in 4:00.50. The top two finishers in each event earn automatic berths in the regional meet, while the next six have their times placed in a pool to determine if they advance to regionals. "The girls worked very hard during the season and for us to finish first by so much is quite an accomplishment," Creel said. "We're in the second fastest region and the competition is stiff." Dye finished third in the 200 freestyle in 2:17.85 and fourth in the 100 freestyle with a 1:01.49. LeBlanc came in fifth in the 200 individual medley in 2:42.24 and she finished fourth in the 100 butterfly with a 1:12.72. Teal was third in the 500 freestyle in 6:21.79 and freshman Sapp finished third in the 100 backstroke in 1:14.87. In the boys competition, Lake Placid was first with 548 points, All Saints placed second with 447, Lakeland Christian was third at 400, Frostproof came in fourth with 253, Oasis Christian had 146 and Santa Fe Catholic finished with 45. Green Dragons Dalton Lambert, Andrew Brown Jr., Travis Russell and Travis Peeples combined to place second in the 200-yard medley relay in 1:49.45, while Clay Sapp, Mason Million, Brandon Skeens and Alex Miller finished second in the 400 freestyle relay with a 3:47.43. Brown Jr. came in second in the 200 individual medley in 2:08.83, Peeples won the 50 freestyle in 23:58 and Russell was third at 25.64. Peeples came in second in the 100 freestyle in 51.93 and Russell was fourth in the 100 butterfly at 1:02.56. Brown Jr., Dalton Lambert, Russell and Peeples teamed up to finish first in the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 1:37.45. Brown Jr. also won the 100 breaststroke in a school-record time of 1:02.95. Lake Placid's Mason Million was fourth in the 500 freestyle with a 5:46.19 and the Green Dragon freshman was third in the 100 backstroke event in 1:06.40. "We had a lot of first and second place finishes," Creel said. "That guarantees us to move on to regionals and I'm very proud of all of our swimmers." Lake Placid won the overall team championship with 1,105 points, All Saints totaled 806, Lakeland Christian was third at 704, Oasis Christian had 500, Frostproof scored 346 and Santa Fe Catholic finished with 201. The Green Dragons advance to the Class 1A-Region 2 meet on Nov. 2 at Lake Highland Prep. "The competition gets tougher at regionals," said Creel. "We haven't seen the other teams times and we'll just have to focus on doing our best." email@example.com 863-386-5837

Next: Cleanup remote connections, Previous: Ad-hoc multi-hops, Up: Usage [Contents][Index]
TRAMP supports running processes on a remote host. This
allows to exploit Emacs packages without modification for
remote file names. It does not work for the ftp method.
Association of a pty, as specified in
start-file-process, is
not supported.
process-file and
start-file-process work on the remote
host when the variable
default-directory is remote:
(let ((default-directory "/ssh:remote.host:")) (start-file-process "grep" (get-buffer-create "*grep*") "/bin/sh" "-c" "grep -e tramp *"))
If the remote host is mounted via GVFS (see GVFS based methods),
the remote filesystem is mounted locally. Therefore, there are no
remote processes; all processes run still locally on your host with
an adapted
default-directory. This section does not apply for
such connection methods.
Remote processes are started when a corresponding command is executed
from a buffer belonging to a remote file or directory. Up to now, the
packages compile.el (commands like
compile and
grep) and gud.el (
gdb or
perldb) have been
integrated. Integration of further packages is planned, any help for
this is welcome!
When your program is not found in the default search path
TRAMP sets on the remote host, you should either use an
absolute path, or extend
tramp-remote-path (see Remote Programs):
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "~/bin") (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "/appli/pub/bin")
The environment for your program can be adapted by customizing
tramp-remote-process-environment. This variable is a list of
strings. It is structured like
process-environment. Each
element is a string of the form
"ENVVARNAME=VALUE". An entry
"ENVVARNAME=" disables the corresponding environment variable,
which might have been set in your init file like ~/.profile.
Adding an entry can be performed via
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-process-environment "JAVA_HOME=/opt/java")
Changing or removing an existing entry is not encouraged. The default
values are chosen for proper TRAMP work. Nevertheless, if for
example a paranoid system administrator disallows changing the
HISTORY environment variable, you can customize
tramp-remote-process-environment, or you can apply the
following code in your .emacs:
(let ((process-environment tramp-remote-process-environment)) (setenv "HISTORY" nil) (setq tramp-remote-process-environment process-environment))
If you use other Emacs packages which do not run out-of-the-box on a remote host, please let us know. We will try to integrate them as well. See Bug Reports.
If you want to run a remote program, which shall connect the X11
server you are using with your local host, you can set the
DISPLAY environment variable on the remote host:
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-process-environment (format "DISPLAY=%s" (getenv "DISPLAY")))
(getenv "DISPLAY") shall return a string containing a host
name, which can be interpreted on the remote host; otherwise you might
use a fixed host name. Strings like
:0 cannot be used properly
on the remote host.
Another trick might be that you put
ForwardX11 yes or
ForwardX11Trusted yes to your ~/.ssh/config file for
that host.
shell on a remote host
Calling M-x shell in a buffer related to a remote host runs the local shell as defined in shell-file-name. This might be also a valid file name for a shell to be applied on the remote host, but it will fail at least when your local and remote hosts belong to different system types, like 'windows-nt' and 'gnu/linux'.
You must set the variable explicit-shell-file-name to the shell file name on the remote host, in order to start that shell on the remote host.
Starting with Emacs 24 this won't be necessary, if you call
shell interactively. You will be asked for the remote shell
file name, if you are on a remote buffer, and if
explicit-shell-file-name is equal to
shell-command on a remote host
shell-command allows to execute commands in a shell, either
synchronously, either asynchronously. This works also on remote
hosts. Example:
C-x C-f /sudo:: RET M-! tail -f /var/log/syslog.log & RET
You will see the buffer *Async Shell Command*, containing the
continuous output of the
tail command.
A similar behavior can be reached by M-x auto-revert-tail-mode, if available.
eshell on a remote host
TRAMP is integrated into eshell.el. That is, you can open an interactive shell on your remote host, and run commands there. After you have started M-x eshell, you could perform commands like this:
~ $ cd /sudo::/etc RET /sudo:root@host:/etc $ hostname RET host /sudo:root@host:/etc $ id RET uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) /sudo:root@host:/etc $ find-file shadow RET #<buffer shadow> /sudo:root@host:/etc $
Since Emacs 23.2,
eshell has also an own
implementation of the
su and
sudo commands. Both
commands change the default directory of the *eshell* buffer to
the value related to the user the command has switched to. This works
even on remote hosts, adding silently a corresponding entry to the
tramp-default-proxies-alist (see Multi-hops):
~ $ cd /ssh:user@remotehost:/etc RET /ssh:user@remotehost:/etc $ find-file shadow RET File is not readable: /ssh:user@remotehost:/etc/shadow /ssh:user@remotehost:/etc $ sudo find-file shadow RET #<buffer shadow> /ssh:user@remotehost:/etc $ su - RET /su:root@remotehost:/root $ id RET uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) /su:root@remotehost:/root $
gud.el offers an unified interface to several symbolic
With TRAMP, it is possible to debug programs on
remote hosts. You can call
gdb with a remote file name:
M-x gdb RET Run gdb (like this): gdb --annotate=3 /ssh:host:~/myprog RET
The file name can also be relative to a remote default directory. Given you are in a buffer that belongs to the remote directory /ssh:host:/home/user, you could call
M-x perldb RET Run perldb (like this): perl -d myprog.pl RET
It is not possible to use just the absolute local part of a remote file name as program to debug, like perl -d /home/user/myprog.pl, though.
Arguments of the program to be debugged are taken literally. That means, file names as arguments must be given as ordinary relative or absolute file names, without any remote specification.
With the help of the
winexe it is possible tu run processes
on a remote Windows host. TRAMP has implemented this for
process-file and
The variable
tramp-smb-winexe-program must contain the file
name of your local
winexe command. On the remote host,
Powershell V2.0 must be installed; it is used to run the remote
In order to open a remote shell on the Windows host via M-x
shell, you must set the variables explicit-shell-file-name
and explicit-*-args. If you want, for example, run
cmd, you must set:
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "cmd" explicit-cmd-args '("/q"))
In case of running
powershell as remote shell, the settings are
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "powershell" explicit-powershell-args '("-file" "-"))

Megan Woods confirmed as Wigram Labour candidate
Megan Woods confirmed as Wigram Labour candidate
Wigram Labour MP Megan Woods was today confirmed as the Labour candidate for Wigram.
At a meeting attended by party members and volunteers Megan pledged her commitment to the people of Wigram and Labour values:
"Homes people can afford to live in and keep warm, getting the Christchurch recovery moving, working to break the EQC/insurance deadlock, and opportunities for our children are going to be front and centre in my campaign. Along with making sure we are rebuilding our city for the 21st century - that means making sure we rebuild in a way that makes environmental sense and is a city we can all move about in and be proud of", said Woods.
Megan Woods said the campaign would focus on winning back the party vote in Wigram, and make a strong contribution for a Labour win on 20 September.

Lord Rennard: is it all a plot to undermine Clegg's leadership?
Or is Clegg doing all the damage himself, changing his story about the Rennard rumours yet again?
NICK CLEGG'S position as Lib Dem leader was in peril today after he changed his tune yet again regarding the allegations against Lord Rennard, telling BBC Radio Solent this morning: "The problem is that until last week no very [the Mole's italics] specific allegations were put to me."
As the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said afterwards, by adding the word "very" Clegg had altered his story overnight.
Returning from holiday in Spain yesterday, Clegg issued a statement saying he had been made aware in 2008 of "indirect and non-specific concerns" – gossip, in other words – about possibly inappropriate behaviour towards female party officials by Lord Rennard.
Clegg said his office had the allegations checked out and because Rennard "categorically denied" them the matter was dropped.
The deputy PM denies a cover-up to save the reputation of the party's chief executive, the man credited with transforming the party's fortunes in a series of election victories over 20 years.
According to BBC political correspondent Ian Watson, Clegg's camp now believe the drama that began with a Channel 4 News segment last week is a plot to undermine his leadership. (Rennard, it should be remembered, vehemently denies the charges and says he never received a complaint and that some of the complainers had continued with him after their alleged encounters.)
Some might argue that Clegg is undermining his leadership himself by dealing with the matter inadequately. He allowed his office to say last week that he had no knowledge of the allegations against Rennard until they were aired on C4, before changing his story yesterday and then again this morning.
The Daily Mail accused him of "weasel words" after yesterday's statement. He appeared to be on the run this morning, preferring to go on Radio Solent than the flagship Radio 4 Today programme where Lib Dem president Tim Farron was forced to admit: "We screwed this up."
The press is not going to let up. They want to know exactly how much Clegg knew and when did he knew it – and they want the facts about the circumstances of Lord Rennard's resignation from his job as chief executive in 2009 on ill-health grounds. Did he go because "the rumours" were making his tenure impossible? And if those rumours had anything to do with his going, why has he since been allowed back onto the Lib Dems' federal policy committee?
Is Clegg the victim of a plot? And, if so, is it his own party or the Tories who are out to get him?
A Lib Dem plot would hardly be surprising. Many loath the compromises he has made to keep his coalition with the Conservatives and want him replaced before the general election by Vincent Cable. A defeat in the Eastleigh by-election on Thursday could bring more calls for his head.
A Tory plot would have to come from that wing of the party that believes a new Conservative offering – tough on scroungers, tough on immigrants - can win the Tories an outright majority in the 2015 general election, especially if the Lib Dems are given a good pasting between now and then.
Disqus - noscript
Your title would make sense if clegg had ever displayed any actual leadership that is now being undermined.
Clegg is trying to have his cake and eat it: He either knew about it and chose to do nothing, or didn't know about it. If he chose to do nothing he is not to be trusted on any ethical matter. If he didn't know about it, he is not leading his party, but is simply blowing in the wind....I suspect the latter
...inadequate "leader" of an inadequate party! Clegg clearly has very little grasp of the gravity of this latest event to engulf his party - indeed, it seems, that he has very little grasp of reality either, by advocating the "mansion" tax and the jewellery tax, on top of which he genuinely expects the Lib Dems to hold Eastleigh.
Perhaps they might - but that would be a miscarriage of justice - for, despite Conservative Central Office and the suits from Westminster, the lady Conservative candidate seems to deserve the seat far more than the mendacious Lib Dem candidate.

Janet Hamel is a hockey mom on a mission.
"I love my land line," said Hamel.
She has a cell phone and a land line, and she wants to keep it that way because her cell phone doesn't always work.
"Depending on where I am in the house, I will drop calls," she explained.
She also values being ready for an emergency.
"For example on 9-11, or the Oklahoma City bombing, all the cell towers were locked and you couldn't get ahold of people," said Hamel.
A bill moving through the legislature would, starting January 1, 2017, allow utility companies to stop servicing traditional land lines. Customers would be given 90 days notice, and then their service could end.
In 2001, there were 6.8 million traditional land lines in the state, compared to 2.6 million in 2012.
However, the folks at AT&T say they don't want to get ride of your phone, they want to offer more services, using the same hardware--just in a different way.
"It takes that same wire a that's been connected to your house, in some cases for generations, and turns it into a product that takes your voice in and out of your house over the internet as opposed to over electricity," said Matt Resch, a spokesperson for AT&T in Michigan.
Some of those packages cost more, but they also provide more services.
Representative Schor says many land line users, don't realize they don't actually have a traditional land line.
"Many people have the VoIP, like Comcast Triple Play, the AT&T U-verse, a lot of these packages have Voice over Internet Protocol-- Magic Jack or whatever else people use," said Representative Schor, a democrat from Lansing as he listed modern "land lines" that aren't traditional.
Schor's concern, is for the people who do use--old school, what are called "POTS" land lines. (POTS stands for "plain old telephone service.) Schor wants those people to be able to keep their service.
"The consumers are going to continue to have land line service. I think even with this bill passing, folks will continue to have land line service," said Schor.
"This has the potential for greater technology use in Michigan and so we are going to see what we can do to promote that, to promote a free market system, but also to protect consumers," said Ari Adler, the press secretary for the Speaker of the House, Jase Bolger, a republican. "We want to make sure that people are comfortable with whatever phone that they need to feel comfortable with at home."
Still, the AARP is strongly against the idea--saying it will cost lives.
"When the power goes out, after a certain amount of time your backup battery is dead, and so you are totally without a phone," said Jacqueline Morrison, the director of the AARP in Michigan. "I was disappointed [by Thursday's vote] because I know, once we educated our members about this issue--all 1.4 million of them--thousands of calls when into their state representatives, particularly from rural areas."
Thursday the Michigan Senate overwhelmingly approved the bill, 31 to 4.
It's possible the bill could get approved out of committee and be voted on by the whole House the end of next week, when this year's legislative session ends.
AARP thinks lawmakers should take their time before casting a decision.
"I think we could take more time to deliberate over just what the risks are to people's lives, if wireless technology is the only way people can communicate," said Morrison.
AT&T says it is not the driving force behind the change, consumers are.
"Consumers have been driving this transition for years," said Resch. "This is not something we are pushing. Consumers are switching everyday from a traditional wired voice service to either a VoIP product or a wireless product."
Resch said, while current VoIP products tend to be sold in bundles that are more costly than just a traditional phone line and offer more services, by the time the law is implemented, AT&T will sell singular comparable products, just like a traditional land line.
"The bill goes into affect three years from now, and this transition will be going on for many years beyond that, the voice only product over VoIP will be coming out and that will be obviously a very comparable price to what people are experiencing today," said Resch.

Arizona Tees Up Abortion Law For Supremes (Again)
Arizona's attorney general is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether states should be allowed to exclude from Medicaid health providers that perform abortions.
The petition filed Wednesday by Republican Attorney General Tom Horne marks the second time this year that the state has asked the nation's highest court to resurrect an anti-abortion law struck down by a lower appeals court.
The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in August overturned the law (HB 2800), which prohibits Medicaid patients from obtaining covered family planning services, such as gynecological exams, through providers that perform abortions. The same court in May also ruled against another Arizona law (HB 2036) limiting non-emergency abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The state earlier this fall filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to reinstate that law as well. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on whether to hear that appeal.
The petition concerning HB 2800 is among a new wave of abortion-related court cases — prompted by new stricter laws passed by conservative states — that are gravitating toward the nation's court.
As WSJ's Jess Bravin reported this week, the Supreme Court is likely to take up a Texas law restricting abortion providers now under review by a federal appeals court after a state court found it to be unconstitutional.

Online Yarn Shopping
As you can probably tell from my profile, I'm from Canada. There are very few local places for me to buy yarn ... there's a Michael's not too far from me, but they have a terrible selection, and there are a few LYS's in the city but none are nearby (it takes me a minimum of 45 minutes of driving in bumper to bumper traffic to get to the closest one
So, needless to say, I like to do a lot of my shopping online. I don't mind doing this, but I find that most of the major online yarn sites that I've seen ship out of the USA (not a big surprise). Still, I wouldn't mind paying the USD/CAD exchange ... my issue is the shipping! Does anyone else find that the shipping costs that these places charge are absolutely exhorbitant?? And that's not even counting the extra duty charges that I'll undoubtedly be slapped with when my package arrives ...
A few skeins of yarn are not very big or heavy ... why is it costing me so much to have it shipped? My last order totalled about $60 worth of yarn, and the shipping was $32!! Your total shouldn't go up by more than 50% when they add the shipping.
Anyways, the point of my longish rant is this: has anyone come across any decent websites for purchasing yarn where there are reasonable shipping costs? I guess this is sort of directed at those who typically ship their orders outside of the continental US, but I'll take all the suggestions I can get!

An exalted thing,
And if one were to behold you, my lady
Your heavenly frame,
One would wonder why I curse its very name
Or would they understand my suffering?
This torment that burns my very soul,
This desperate, dark longing
But this that we call love lady,
Is a cursed thing
A black spell bewitching us both,
Poison from a serpent's sting
And I whom men hail as valiant and strong
Crumble, weakened before it, prostrate
A slave, helpless to its wrong
What once was beautiful
Now a vile and bitter thing,
That compels me to betray
Lord and king
By day I embrace him,
He calls me brother,
In the dark of night I caress you,
You call me lover
Words like a dagger through my heart,
Bleeding, but the blood shed shall not be mine,
Snake am I, venom festering, killing slowly
Alas, the death shall not be mine
Oh Guinevere, fair lady!
Forgive me for coveting thee
For only grief has come of this love,
Too blind I was to see,
Caught in my abominable lust
Dominated by savage envy
My Lord Arthur,
Suffer not your rage on one so fair
Let me this burden, this badge of shame bear
Release her, I pray thee
Or know this tainted love of mine turned to wrath
I ride now, like a storm hard and fast
bearing her away from flames that would consume,
Haunted eyes stare at me, a soul long cast
into fires that would offer no redemption
Across the channel, war they bring
Vengeance, betrayal's price
Arms I raise now against my king
But the death blow shall come from Camelot,
Before the darkened walls,
Not by my hand, but yet by my bane
My lord and king falls
Oh, love, cursed is thy name!
Black are the days ahead
My lord has gone,
My lady followed,
No forgiveness can I ask of the dead
Penance I must offer,
Prayers for redemption,
Alone at this alter
Only death will give salvation.
Love black and vile
Has brought only pain
Birthed death and sorrow
Mine, my lady and my lord's bane.
