The trades came at one of many moments of concern about European banks.It's unclear why Romney was swapping foreign currencies, but the transactions stand out as another curiosity within Romney's lengthy 2011 returns, released by his campaign last Friday.The GOP candidate's trust is managed for him by Boston lawyer R. Bradford Malt, and Romney characterizes it as a "blind trust," though he has given Malt general instructions to trade in accordance with his public political stands. [continued below]....
The Romney campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the trades.Update: The trades were most likely used to hedge investments exposed to exchange-rate risk, a common use of currency hedges, according to Brian Galle, a tax law professor at Boston College Law School who analyzed Romney's returns. Romney's trust manager would have offset risk on a foreign investment by also buying a position in that country's currency. Although not uncommon, the currency hedges do reflect the diversity and complexity of the Romney family's investments.

The following article appeared in our 2014 Annual Report.
The new private patient room conversion project will allow Gifford to create a second Garden Room suite for end-of-life patients.
This patient room, with French doors that open onto a courtyard garden, has an attached larger room where families can gather to support and comfort the patient and each other in this period of transition.
"A second garden room will double our capacity to care for end-of-life patients and their loved ones," said John Young, Palliative Care certified nurse. "The Garden Room suite creates a space where families and loved ones can visit, share, interact, or just be present with each other at a time when that is needed. A dying loved one can rest, listen to music, be quiet or visit with loved ones in the attached less noisy and congested space."
Last Mile Ride (LMR) funds support special services for patients in advanced illness and at the end of life, whether they are at home or staying in the Garden Room suite. These services include massage, acupuncture and Reiki for pain management, music therapy, and help with special wishes and one-time gifts. LMR funds also help make it possible for families and friends to focus on their loved one, providing food, transportation funds if needed, bereavement help, and professional photographs of this special time together.
For patients in this time of transition, the Garden Room adds an option to dying at home or in a nursing home. Dr. Cristine Maloney, lead provider for Gifford's Palliative Care Program, notes that when families are caring for a loved one at home, the Garden Room can offer a comforting back-up option if things become too difficult.
"This chapter of a patient's life has great power and poignancy, and surviving family and friends remember vividly how a death is handled," said Maloney. "We want to help this go as well as possible and in keeping with a person's goals and wishes."

EDITOR'S NOTE – CONTENT WARNING: The following article contains subject matter that may be disturbing or upsetting to some of our readers, as it includes descriptions of violent crimes and deviant criminal behavior.
They are the world's most elusive hunters. Using their looks, their status, and their personalities, female sex killers can be the most difficult to catch. I have studied serial killers all of my adult life and am the only profiler to interview a large group of female serial killers and create their profiles. I work with police on such cases around the United States, and from first- hand experience, I can attest to the fact that female rape murderers are clever.
Though rare, such predators are more common than the general public knows. Why? In most instances, when a female rapes and kills a victim, the act is done in conjunction with a male partner. As such, when caught, the females play innocent and blame the male. This strategy has proven highly effective over the years because people are hesitant to believe that a woman could rape and murder. But it does happen, and sometimes, the female will act alone.
Out of all the interviews I have done with male and female serial killers, the only offender who ever made me uncomfortable was a female sex killer. She had a long history of violence and killed with no remorse. What made her unique is that she was very open about her love for drawing blood using knives, and she said if she ever got out of prison, she would kill again.
These offenders are a unique breed in that they have a real taste for hurting helpless victims. They enjoy the feeling they get when using objects to rape. In fact, female rape killers will often use jagged instruments when they attack. These women are especially brutal with female victims, and almost always, they will mutilate the genitalia. Such women have told me that they chose to hurt their victims so viciously because it turned them on. Like their male counterparts, it was sexually exciting.
To capture their prey, these women use a rouse to trick their victims who are always smaller in size. They use their gender as a cover for their evil intentions because most people find it hard to believe that the fairer sex could rape and kill a child. However, children are not their only victims. Such offenders have been known to target adults since everyone is less wary of a woman. This allows these super predators access to almost any type of victim.
The killers are drawn to traditionally "feminine" jobs such as nursing, caregiving, teaching, or the sex trade. These fields give them natural cover to get close to victims. Like their male counterparts, female sex killers fantasize about rape and murder. However, unlike men, women tend to be less selective about the type of victims they choose. For instance, male sex killers typically prefer certain types of victim such as 20-year-old blondes. But for the women, victim age and gender are less important than opportunity. Female predators search for that which is easy to get. If she works in a nursing home, she may go after the elderly and rape them in their beds. If the woman works as a prostitute, she will target customers. If she teaches, she often sets her sights on students. These women crave what is familiar to them, and they watch their prey over time to assess how easy it would be to attack.
The killers tend to have spotty work histories as well as a string of failed relationships. They dabble in sexual relationships and will try everything from lesbianism to child molestation. Emotionally they find it hard to be "centered," and family will cover for the women when they engage in strange behavior. In looking at their backgrounds, their life pattern tends to be as follows:
* Loneliness
* Child abuse (victim of)
* Fantasy
* Acting out (violent against animals & other children)
* Sexually promiscuous
* Psychopathic behavior (stealing, fire setting, lying)
* Attaching to steady figure (older male)
* Increased time alone
* Practicing violence
* Kidnap
* Kill
The interesting part of this pattern is that when looking back, it is easy to see how the women progressed. And there is almost always someone who knew about the increasingly dangerous behavior but did nothing to stop it. There is a tendency in families to hide problems, and those that produce female rape murderers are no exception. The crimes are so aberrant that even those close to these women find it hard to believe that their child/friend/spouse could do such things. The women are well aware of this and use it to their advantage. At every turn, they will plant doubt into the minds of those who question. They will act strange on purpose to try to confuse people. Then they turn on the water works and cry to appear innocent. The thing that tends to be consistent with these killers is that people around them will say that the women were "strange" or "unusual." Others will even say that the women made them feel uncomfortable at times, but again, because of their gender, people are reluctant to be suspicious.
Once caught, the women go to emotional extremes and will do everything from attempting to seduce investigators to acting out in an almost psychotic like way. When female rape murderers are cornered, they are more likely to talk than other female killers. However, their 'confessions' will be self serving and filled with lies. They will be flamboyant and spin tales of their own horrific abuse in order to garner sympathy. However, make no mistake, such women are devious and know exactly what they are doing. They use the rarity of their crimes to hide the truth of what lies beneath their façades. These types of crimes are actually becoming more common, so parents must become educated about this 'newer' predator that is stalking their children. As awareness grows, expect to see the discovery of more of these types of crimes. When society realizes what has been hiding in its midst, an innocence will be lost, but protection will be gained. People will be shocked when they discover what happened in the Sandra Cantu murder case. But the horror will provide the necessary wake-up call and education that parents need in order to be forearmed in the future.

One sentence stands out. Many of these women will manipulate men to help them do their bidding. That definition exponentially increase the potential number of these females.

Yup. Say a woman is tired of her current husband. She engages an affair and manipulates the other man into possibly killing her husband for her by telling lies of abuse and neglect or even go as far as faking injuries or producing photos of alleged injuries. They will tell lies about being threatened. Her husband saying he will kill her if she ever tried to leave him and such. By now, even if the other man isn't in love with her yet, it should be enough to make him want to "save" o More..

Carla Homolka is a great example of this in Canada. She and her husband, Paul Bernardo, lured teenage girls and then raped and killed them.
She did 10 years and is now living abroad with her new husband and is raising children of her own. Paul is in jail (solitairy) for life.
She even drugged her baby sister so that they could rape her. Her sister died in the attack.

Man Utd targeting two summer signings
Sir Alex Ferguson does not believe Manchester United must rebuild over the summer months to successfully defend their Premier League title, suggesting that only two players will be added to the squad.
The Red Devils were only confirmed as this season's Premier League winners on Monday after beating Aston Villa 3-0, but Sir Alex is already looking towards adding to his team for the new campaign in August.
The United boss told reporters: "I don't think that we need to rebuild at all – possibly two players, if possible. It depends of course. If a player came along that we felt met our criteria, I think we'd push the boat out and get him irrespective of how many players we had.
"Having spoken with the Glazer family [the owners] I think there's every intention we want to kick on, yeah," he added.
"Absolutely. I hope so. It has been fantastic [gaining extra revenue from sponsors] and that's credit to the commercial people, they've done a great job and of course the football team has been [the] platform for that. But they're capitalising on such a great profile of the club – there's no doubt, worldwide it seems to me to be getting bigger.
"We're happy where we are at the moment, that's for sure," said Sir Alex.
"We've attracted some really good sponsors, interesting and valuable partnerships because all the sponsors we're combining with have got the same philosophies as ourselves in terms of trying to make their product the best in their business – that's what we're trying to do."

Raising wage would hurt our economy
Published: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: A June 16 letter asks why we opposed a bill to increase the state's minimum wage.
We voted against the increase in the minimum wage because economists agree that a mandatory wage increase during a recovering economy results in job losses.
Family-owned small businesses -- not big companies -- are the ones most likely to employ younger, less experienced workers. These businesses will have to either raise prices or lay off entry-level employees to absorb the cost of a mandatory wage increase.
The right strategy for Western North Carolina is to focus on creating better, higher-paying jobs and keeping existing jobs for employees in North Carolina.

The Truth Right In Front Of Us
Block parties take place in neighborhoods across America every summer. After all, everyone on the street can relate to each other: happy children, full-time jobs, family dinners, weekends spent at the dog park or soccer field. But New York City's Park Avenue set follows different rules, depending on which half you live. The mega-rich reside on Park Avenue's Upper East Side—the wealthiest neighborhood in all of New York City. Take a leisurely stroll ten minutes up the block to the South Bronx, however, and the neighborhood sights, sounds, and smells will leave you wondering how only ten minutes mean the difference between luxury and lower income.
Independent Lens brings you Park Avenue: Money, Power & The American Dream, a shocking exploration of the extreme disparity in quality of life along one avenue. On one side live billionaires while. on the other side. forty percent of residents live in poverty. Park Avenue in the South Bronx is America's poorest congressional district, plaqued by unemployment, crime, and failing schools. Yet these residents can literally see the "other side", the so-called "better side", from their windows. So close physically, with dreams of putting truth to the The Jefferson's theme song lyrics, "moving on up to the East Side".
But actually making the move to the other side is not as simple as America naively preaches. Sometimes achieving the American Dream demands more than hard work, determination, and a hearty dose of "American spirit". Park Avenue: Money, Power & The American Dream looks at the invisible barricade that divides rich from poor and powerful from oppressed on both sides of Park Avenue.
Watch Independent Lens Park Avenue: Money, Power & The American Dream Saturday, November 17 at 1:00am on WETA TV26 and WETA HD.

If all goes well, the sun will rise again tomorrow, signaling to nature that a new day has begun. We are aware of its physical attributes; warm, bright, and a nutrients provider. But when thinking about the sun in a more figurative sense, we are able to expand our imaginations and decide for ourselves what the sun means and does for us. Perhaps filmmakers of Saturday's movies considered the sun's capabilities and intended to explore its influences (good and bad) on people and nature. Join us for this Saturday's Fall Movie Festival event as we present films that will display a side of the sun that we may not have seen or experienced before.

NORTH BRANCH - Grace Lutheran Church of North Branch has purchased a house next door that will house the church's new daycare.
The Cape Cod-style house has a spacious backyard and will provide a charming setting for the care of children ranging from 6 weeks old to 5 years old. State licensing should be completed in about 10 weeks and Grace Lutheran is planning for an April opening.
The house is being purchased by Christ Lutheran Church of Belmont, Mass., which is led by the Rev. Norman David. Christ Lutheran will develop the daycare, basing it on the church's successful daycare business near Boston.
"The spacious lawn in the backyard will be wonderful for family events in warmer weather," David said. "Picnics, kickball, softball, croquet and other field games are easily accommodated by the half-acre yard."
Christ Lutheran expects to eventually turn the daycare's operation over to Grace Lutheran. Those interested in enrolling their children in advance can call 482-4343.

Huston Street was tapped as the A's full-time closer just 19 appearances into his major league career in 2005, and he made the adjustment look easy.
He saved 23 games. He took home American League Rookie of the Year honors.
Until recently he was entrenched as the A's ninth-inning man.
Now his role is tougher to define.
As he struggles through his toughest stretch as a big leaguer, Street has been replaced as closer for now by rookie Brad Ziegler, current owner of a 37-inning scoreless streak.
"I understand that until I get back to pitching how I was, I'm probably not going to see the late innings," Street said. "When you've got a guy that has 37 scoreless innings, I can understand that."
But as the Street bandwagon loses membership rapidly, it's worth keeping in mind that he's still a relatively young player.
Of all the full-time closers in the majors, only the Kansas City Royals' Joakim Soria and the Pittsburgh Pirates' Matt Capps are younger than Street, who turned 25 at the beginning of this month.
Most of the game's top closers all followed the same career path, cutting their teeth as middle relievers or setup men before transitioning to the ninth inning later in their careers.
Mariano Rivera was John Wetteland's setup man and eventually inherited the New York Yankees' closing job in 1997 at age 27.
Even the Los Angeles Angels' Francisco Rodriguez, who starred in the 2002 World Series against the Giants when he was 20, spent two seasons setting up for Troy Percival before assuming closing duties in 2005.
Street spent three seasons closing for the University of Texas, which made him a quick study when the A's turned to him after Octavio Dotel got hurt in May 2005.
But he was just 21 at the time.
"Huston's still developing. He's still finding himself," veteran Detroit Tigers reliever Todd Jones said. "He's done a fabulous job when you look and see what he's actually had to absorb on the run with no training. The difference between the eighth inning and ninth inning is in your head. Few guys can handle it."
A's manager Bob Geren has said Street's fastball has fluctuated between 90 to 93 mph this season. But Geren, Street and pitching coach Curt Young all agree that Street's struggles primarily boil down to pitch location.
He's just 18-for-24 in save situations this season.
"Even though you come to this level and have great stuff and great success there's always adjustments that have to be made, really from outing to outing and sometimes season to season," Young said. "Now (Street's key) is adjusting with the location of his fastball."
Sometimes getting demoted is only a brief setback.
Brad Lidge was stripped of closing duties in April 2007 with the Houston Astros only to regain his role two months later. This season he was an All-Star with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Jones, who got bumped from closer duties himself recently by Tigers manager Jim Leyland, admittedly is pulling for Street. The two bonded as teammates in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. They also share the same agent.
Jones thinks it's important for a young closer to keep getting the ball in the ninth even as he goes through a rough stretch.
"When he's struggling, you've got to have a manager call your closer into the office and say, 'You know what, you're my guy, so you better figure it out. Because I'm gonna run you out there, and run you out there and run you out there until you make an adjustment or we make an adjustment.' "
Geren believes Ziegler has earned his shot in the ninth. Ziegler earned a two-inning save Friday in Detroit, the A's lone victory on their recent 10-game road trip.
On Sunday, Street entered in the fifth against the Tigers and was charged with three runs in an inning of work.
Although he knew it sounded weird, Street came away encouraged. He's working on his slider to right-handers, and he thought that showed some improvement.
"I feel very confident," he said before Sunday's game. "I just haven't been pitching like I need to pitch, and when you're doing that in the ninth inning sometimes it gets magnified. If this is my rough patch for my first four years, I feel like I've been pretty solid up to this point."

We don't usually post skateboarding videos, but since it's summertime, it's that time of years when here in the office, we try our hand at sucking at skating once again, and we could use some inspiration from the guys that really crush concrete. Plus, these are Lib Tech skateboards and Jesse and Pika Burtner, of Think Thank fame, made this video, and it's really good. So, check out this balls-out skate edit from Lib Tech and Think Thank of Lib Tech's Leg Tour 2012. From Think Thank: Ripping around Washington State and shredding skate parks is never a bad idea. Think Thank filmers Jesse and Pika joined the Lib Skate team and did just that on a hot lap around Eastern Washington and a trip to the Peninsula for this Washington Leg. With the likes of Sky Siljeg, Mikey "L'il Swayze" Swearingen, Chad Fenlon and Edwin Swagerty in tow this was a D3 stomping, high heeled high kick of a good time. Look for more Legs kicking in your zone this summer especially if you're from Vancouver, BC, Colorado or So-cal.Read More

It's no secret now that the Pacific Northwest breeds some of the most talented snowboarders on Earth, and it's definitely no secret that Blair Habenicht is one of those snowboarders. Aside from being one of the most talented riders on the Absinthe roster, Blair has become one of SNOWBOARDER Magazine's most trusted contributors. You see, when Blair's not straight-lining AK chutes, he's penning some of the most prolific stories in our sport, and as a multi-talented rider/writer, Blair has quickly become one of our go-to guys when we need someone who can both document and destroy everything around him. In this edit, watch Habenicht annihilate AK and pick apart his home state of Washington with Absinthe, and be sure to pick up a copy of SNOWBOARDER Magazine starting in late-August, as Blair's prose will more than likely be found inside.Read More

The Cannondale rider sprinted to victory at the end of the 201km stage from De Panne to Koksijde, the third year in a row that he has won the race opener - but he tried to gift his victory to new team-mate Oscar Gatto by slowing down on the line.
He left his braking too late, however, and Gatto lost out in a photo finish. Kenneth van Bilsen of Topsport Vlaanderen came third.
Sagan had attacked 10km from the end of the stage to reel in a seven-man breakaway, with Gatto joining him as he did so.
The race continues with a 206km stage on Wednesday before finishing off on Thursday with two stages, the second of which is a 14.3km time trial.
Sagan admitted afterwards that he "was working for Oscar".

Never miss another 'Ian Shaw' show
New Years Eve Special : Ian Shaw
The traditional New Year's Eve special is focussed, as ever, round the all-round entertainment of special jazz singer Ian Shaw.
In addition to Ian seeing in 2013, there is a welcoming glass of champagne and a 3 course meal.
Ian Shaw
Ian Shaw's career in performance began unusually for a jazz musician on the Alternative Cabaret Circuit, alongside such performers as Julian Clary, Rory Bremner and Jo Brand.
Shaw was spotted by Dave Illic, jazz critic for City Limits and was described as 'the voice of the decade'. He has since gone on to win Best Jazz Vocalist at the BBC Jazz Awards in 2004 and 2007, and has amassed a number of highly acclaimed albums.
A popular performer both in the UK and the US, Ian Shaw is an incredibly colourful character and has been cited, along with Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling, as one of the world's finest male jazz vocalists.
'A high-class performance of timelessly high class songs' (The Guardian)
'Praised far and wide as the single greatest male jazz vocalist Britain has to offer' (Jazz Times).

Electoral Commission's Blunder
Votes are being counted in Djibouti after its first fully-fledged multi-party election on Friday. The historic vote passed off peacefully, with no serious incidents reported, according to the French news agency, AFP.
Eight parties are contesting the election for a new parliament after restrictions on political activity were lifted four months ago. They are grouped under two major blocs: a ruling party alliance, the Union for the Presidential Majority (UPM), and the newly formed opposition grouping, the Union for a Democratic Alternative (UAD).
Correspondents say that the opposition alliance has been weakened by the defection to the presidential grouping of a traditional opposition leader, Aden Robleh.
Fourteen female candidates are standing and the new parliament is expected to include women for the first time since Djibouti became independent, Reuters news agency said.
High Turnout
Polling stations closed at 1800 local time (1500 GMT) after the vote, a landmark in the country's history since independence from France in 1977.
Turn-out was reported to have been high to elect the 65 members of parliament.
Although no major incidents were reported, a number of voters complained that they had been unable to cast their ballot.
"When I turned up, they turned me away. There is no justice here, the state is afraid of anyone who votes for the opposition," Abdallah Ali Mahamade, who had not received his voter's card, said.
"They turned me away. I don't know why, perhaps it was fraud. I am going to wait outside the polling station until they let me in," Mohamed Hussein Osmane said.
Opposition leader Ahmed Dini Ahmed, a former prime minister, had warned on Thursday that the alleged non-distribution of voter's cards, the secrecy of the electoral list and biased polling officials would lead to an "electoral hold-up".
But President Ismael Omar Guelleh said that the elections were free and fair.
"We have done all we can. There is an independent electoral commission, observers, journalist, and the opposition is present at polling stations," he said.
Economic Woes
A dozen foreign observers are monitoring the election.
There is a single round in which the winner of the largest number of votes will take up all seats in a constituency. First results are expected in the coming hours.
If the UAD wins against Mr Omar Guelleh's alliance, Djibouti will have a power-sharing government. Former BBC Djibouti reporter Christophe Farah says that whoever wins the election will have to address the economic crisis.
Most people in Djibouti are more concerned by their day-to-day survival than anything else.
Ahmed Dini has criticised the authorities for allowing the United States to set up a base in the country to fight its war on terror, saying it might expose Djibouti to terrorist attacks.

MTA Worker Struck by Subway Train in Queens
A Metropolitan Transportation Authority track worker was struck by a train and killed early Wednesday in Queens, police and the MTA said.
The 58-year-old worker, identified as signal maintainer Louis Moore, had been part of an overnight work detail near Broadway and 46th Street, along the E line.
It was not immediately clear how the accident occurred. The MTA said the man was struck at 3:21 a.m.
"An intensive investigation into the circumstances of his death is underway," Acting MTA Chairman Fernando Ferrer said. The worker, a signal maintainer, "died in performance of his duty for all of us," Ferrer said.
An MTA spokesman said a formal board of inquiry would be launched into the accident, which was the first in which a worker died from being struck by a train since 2007. A worker who fell on the third rail was electrocuted in 2010.

WILLIAMSTOWN - Williamstown is starting to earn a reputation, and it's one the Yellowjackets have been able to overcome for the most part.
Friday night at Williamstown High School, a slow start left the Yellowjackets trailing Ritchie County by six points in the opening stages of the second quarter but a solid showing for the remainder of the half put the Rebels in a hole they could not climb out of.
Four Williamstown players scored in double figures as the Yellowjackets defeated Ritchie County 65-52 and improved to 7-3 and 5-1 in the Little Kanawha Conference's North Division.

Williamstown sophomore Landon Travis goes up for two of his team-high 18 points as the Yellowjackets defeated Ritchie County, 65-52, Friday night at Williamstown High School.
"We even talked about that before the game -let's get off to a fast start," Williamstown coach Scott Sauro said. "Credit Ritchie. They made shots and they made plays. Again it took us a few minutes to get going - we need to get off to better starts."
The Yellowjackets' top scorer Landon Travis put up typical numbers with a team-high 18 points and nine rebounds. Adding 16 points in the post was Gage Wix, while point guard Hunter Neely finished with 15 points and eight assists. Completing a bulk of the Williamstown scoring was Chandler Weber with 10 points.
"Hunter is really turning into an effective point guard for us," Sauro said. "He's had some growing pains. Last year, we threw those sophomores into the fire and told them to go play against 18-year-olds.
"All of our sophomores took some lumps last year, but that year was very valuable because they learned how to play at varsity speed. As far as Hunter, he has grown a lot."
Ritchie County's Seth Cottrill made life troublesome for the Williamstown contingent after scoring 10 of his game-high 22 points in the first quarter. His only 3-pointer of the night with just less than a minute remaining in the period put the Rebels in front 16-13.
Teammate A.J. Collins knocked down a 3-pointer to open the second-quarter scoring and all of a sudden the Yellowjackets trailed 19-13.
Williamstown answered with a 17-4 run over the next five minutes thanks to the interior play of Travis, who was giving up at least 6 inches to his defender - Riley Allen. Despite the mismatch, Travis gained the edge as Allen picked up his third foul midway in the second quarter.
Travis accounted for half of his scoring output in the second quarter, while Allen enjoyed a better showing in the second half and ended the game with eight points and eight rebounds.
"We were wanting to attack (Allen) because we have a lot of respect for him -he is a good post player," Sauro said. "We wanted to get some fouls on him and fortunately Landon is good at creating contact then finishing around the basket."
Ritchie County closed to within 30-27, but that was close as the Rebels would get the remainder of game as Williamstown closed the first half with four straight points and opened the second half with a 9-2 run for a 43-29 advantage.
The margin never reached single digits again as Ritchie County slipped to 3-6 and 1-4 in the LKC North Division.
"Ritchie has a couple of outstanding players in Cottrill and Allen, and when they are on the floor you never feel comfortable," Sauro said. "We felt like we were in control in the second half, but the lead never ballooned out."
