Is the toilet seat that is listed with this toilet a soft close?
The Kohler K-3609 is actually sold with the seat separate so a soft closed one can be purchased alongside it. The one recommended is not a soft close but a typical Kohler, soft close seat, such as the Cachet collection, would mount to this toilet just fine.

Merck Cuts 600 Sales Reps as Part of its Ongoing Reorganization
As part of its ongoing bid to reorganize and cut costs, Merck is eliminating 600 jobs by the end of next month, according to a recent filing made with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry. A Merck spokeswoman says most of the layoffs involve sales reps that are based around the country and is a part of a broader cost-cutting initiative that was announced last fall.
Indeed, the move comes nine months after the drug maker announced a sweeping retrenchment that involves slashing 8,500 jobs, closing some facilities and ending certain research projects. The stated goal is to save $2.5 billion by the end of next year. The total number of layoffs will amount to 20% of the global workforce of about 81,000 employees at the time the plans were disclosed last October.
Merck has, actually, been cutting costs in a variety of way for years, even before the drug maker paid $41 billion for Schering-Plough four years ago. In 2011, for instance, Merck began chopping up to 13,000 jobs in order to save up to $1.5 billion by 2015.
The reorganization followed the arrival of Roger Perlmutter to run its flagging R&D machine, which had experienced several setbacks. Since then, he has emphasized immune-oncology, which is the hottest area of pharmaceutical research today. Merck is awaiting FDA approval for one compound, called pembrolizumab, for treating melanoma.
Perlmutter has also expressed more enthusiasm for looking beyond Merck labs for products. A recent example: Merck is paying $3.8 billion for Idenix Pharmaceuticals in hopes of winning a big chunk of the lucrative market for hepatitis C treatments.

Get Loose with JOOSE
- Save
Here's your warning: This is not your childhood juice box. JOOSE flavored malt beverages infuse high quality natural flavors and alcohol in drinks designed just for adults to "get loose with the JOOSE." JOOSE is the one that started it all, changed it all and leads it all. Other flavored malt beverages have attempted to replicate JOOSE's natural flavors, but with artificial flavors that just don't measure up.

The true magic is just how much flavor is packed in, whether it's Mango, Dragon, Watermelon, Cherry Lime, Green Apple, Fruit Punch, Kiwi Strawberry, or Raspberry Lemonade.
Now that 2012 has arrived as the year of the dragon, according to the Chinese zodiac calendar, Dragon JOOSE is selling hot off the shelves. It's a natural concord grape-flavored drink that debuted in 2007 and has since been one of the most popular flavors. It's a carbonated premium malt beverage with natural flavor and 9.9% alcohol by volume.
Also, JOOSE recently launched a new line of Spiked Teas. They are available in 23.5 oz. cans, and come in three great flavors: Raspberry, Peach and Lemonade.

The Smithsonian has put up some 200,000 photographs of animals taken by dozens of motion-activated "camera traps" set up in around the world, and... they're kind of breathtaking. Not just in a "Ooh, animals are cool" way, either (though, come on, animals are totally cool)—in a "Wow, some of these are pretty amazing photographs" way. The intent, obviously, is to study animal behavior without needing smelly humans around, and not to take pretty pictures, but the pictures do end up being quite pretty—we're particularly partial, for example, to this set of beautiful black-and-whites shot in Kenya. (Above is an Asian black bear caught on camera in China). The best thing to do is go to the official site, find one of the cameras, and just click through all the photos it's taken. Animals! Right?

Rap music: Will it ever stop inspiring America's youth to commit multiple homicides? Not likely, if the sad case of Richard "Syko Sam" McCroskey is any indication. Because he's charged with killing four people.
"Calif. horrorcore rapper suspected of killing 4," says the AP headline. This is technically true, although a more accurate headline might have been "Calif. adolescent without any good hobbies snaps," or "MYSPACE KILLS." McCroskey, a 20 year-old kid from California, is suspected of killing four people in Virginia—including a pastor and a college professor. He apparently went to visit the pastor's daughter after meeting her on Myspace.
On McCroskey's MySpace page, someone who goes by Ragdoll, which friends identified as Emma Niederbrock, wrote several messages to McCroskey. In a post dated Sept. 7, Niederbrock says she is excited for McCroskey's visit to her house.
"The next time you check your myspace, YOULL BE AT MY HOUSE!" the post reads.
Urgh. And here, direct from Syko Sam's Myspace page, he describes how hip hop culture drove him to kill:
Syko Sam is a new musican in the underground and only been rapping for a few months now. As a new artist I feel that I already have some talent in this scene but will only get better as time will do its job. Syko Sam has been a fan of the Horrorcore/Wicked Shit genre since 1999 so therefor as a huge fan of the music I wanted to contribute to the genre to give to those fans of the genre as well as making it for myself to explore my creative side, thus Syko Sam being born.
Rap music takes only a few months to drive troubled teenagers to murder. Also the internet does, too. Parents, take heed.

Courage to Rebuild
A public art project celebrating over 40 years of Vietnamese achievements in the United States
"Courage to Rebuild" Public Art Project Announces Five Artistic Finalists @ couragetorebuild.org
Project Celebrates 40 Years of Vietnamese Achievements in the U.S.
Public Opportunity to Vote in Sculpture Competition May 23 – 24 9am to 4pm at Asian Garden Mall
April 22, 2015 – Westminster, CA – The Vietnamese Culture Alliance (VACA) is pleased to introduce Courage to Rebuild, a public art project in development at Westminster's Asian Garden Mall (Phước-Lộc-Thọ), celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Vietnamese immigration to the United States. Artists from across the globe submitted proposals to be considered to develop the site-specific public sculpture that will honor the strength and courage of the Vietnamese-American community. The project's panel of judges selected four diverse finalists whose artistic proposals will be presented for a public vote at a special event at Asian Garden Mall on May 23-24, 2015.
Courage to Rebuild will symbolize both the Vietnamese American community's past, present, and future, and celebrate their unique cultural identity. The sculpture will stand on a 950 square foot area in front of Asian Garden Mall in Westminster's Little Saigon, the central gathering space of one of the largest Vietnamese communities in the U.S. The sculpture will be completed and unveiled in May 2016.
Please visit our website for the Courage to Rebuild project to read about our finalists.
Over the past four decades, since the end of the Vietnam War, more than one million Vietnamese citizens have reestablished themselves and their families in the United States, and one of the largest enclaves of immigrants has settled in Southern California. In the heart of Southern California lies the most iconic Vietnamese-American community, known as Little Saigon, in the city of Westminster. When you visit the main street in Little Saigon, you'll find numerous colorful shops selling specialty goods from Asia, comforting aromas of traditional Vietnamese dishes, and most importantly a flourishing Vietnamese American community.
Despite being one of the most recent ethnic groups to immigrate to the U.S., we have worked hard to rebuild our lives. Within the past 40 years, we have made profound contributions in the U.S., in areas such as the arts, politics, science, education, engineering, business, media, film, culinary, literature and many other trades and professions. Vietnamese-Americans have succeeded and become leaders in many fields and have shown that we are a people of passion, pride, unwavering courage and determination.
While we have worked and succeeded we have also nurtured one generation after the next to be rooted in tradition while searching out their own paths for success.

Man, this mailing list seems to love my contaminative presence. If you
don't want me to post please don't challenge my previous postings.
Otherwise, I'll have to respond.
1. "As-Salam" is a noun, "Salam," with the definite article "Al." It means
"peace." It is also one of the many descriptive names of Allah.
2. The two classes of letters you refer to are called "Shamsii" and
"Qamarii" (with stressed "i"). Meaning "solar" and "lunar," respectively.
The "solar" consonants are the Arabic equivalents of "sh," "n," "l," "z"
(all four Arabic consonants that sound like /z/ to you, i.e. "ذ", "ض",
"ظ", and "ز"), "r," "d," "s," (the three /s/ sounding consonants, i.e.
"ث", "ص", and "س"), "t" (both /t/ sounding ones, i.e. "ت" and "ط").
The rest of consonants are "lunar."
3. "Salam-on alaikom," transliteration of "سÙا٠عÙÛÚ©Ù ," is a
greeting. It is not some sort of mantra directed at Allah. It means "peace
be upon you." And it isn't reserved for Muslims. In any sane
Arabic-speaking country--and some non-Arabic-speaking countries--you'll be
greeted by that same phrase. The phrase corresponds exactly to the famous
Hebrew "Shalom aleichem," which also means "peace be upon you."
4. That "-on" suffix is a "tanveen"--there are three tanveens, each
corresponding to one short vowel--on the ending of "Salam." It serves the
function of the copula "to be." As in "Ash-Shata Barid-on," transliteration
of "اÙشتا بارد", meaning "the winter is cold."
5. "Marhaba," transliteration of "٠رØ*با"--and not "Marhaban"--means
something between "well done" and "welcome." It is also part of the phrase
"اÙÙا٠٠سÙÙاÙØ Ù Ø±Ø*با", "Ahl-an wa Sahl-an, Marhaba,"
which is just an underlining of the same notion: "welcome." See? Two
tanveens on the endings of "Ahl" and "Sahl" but none on the ending of
6. You're right. I'm not a Muslim.

Boston Children's Hospital conspired to kidnap and abuse Justina Pelletier and Eithene Hilliard in an effort to boost hospital profits instead of implementing neccesary treatment to cure these two young female patients of their chief complaint. Both of these patients are afflicted with mitochondrial disease. However, instead of giving the proper treatment, "One of the Best Hospitals in the Country" Is doing one of the worst things imaginable to them and their families; they are effectively holding these children hostage in order to boost profits.
Justina Pelletier was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease by doctors at Tufts Medical Center. Justina was supposed to be transferred in an ambulance, for insurance purposes, to the Boston Children's Hospital, and brought through the emergency room and seen by a gastrointestinal doctor. Instead, upon arriving, she was stopped and evaluated by a neurologist, who, didn't look at her medical history or contact her other doctors. [continued below]....
Celeste Wilson and her storm troopers, Beth Holleran, LICSW – Program Director and CPT Consultant, Beth Jones, LICSW – CPT Consultant/Generalist, Pamela Chamorro, LICSW – CPT Consultant, Jessica Henderson Daniel, PhD – Psychologist/Consultant, Deborah Sorrentino, RN, FNP-BC – Nurse Liaison to DCF, Chelsea Reddin, LICSW – Clinical Coordinator, CPCS, Kelly Haynes, RN, JD – Associate General Counsel, Kristen MacGlashing, LICSW – CPT Consultant/Generalist, Katie Welsh, LICSW – CPT Consultant, Stephen Post – Administrative Associate, Kimberly Luciano – Administrative Associate and these degenerate scumbags immediately went into action. First they harnessed the power of their lackey idiot, Judge Joseph Johnston who immediately bent over, grabbed his ankles and issued a 51A order (legal kidnapping). Then the hospital placed Jessica in a psych-ward for almost a year as she continued to get worse from her disease. Add to the fact that this scumbag judge put a "gag-order" in opposition to the family's 1st amendment right to free speech (because, God forbid the world find out what these evil a-holes are doing to this poor child).
Not only is there Justina Pelletier, who has been held at Boston Children's Hospital for 11 months after her parents lost custody of her over accusations of medical child abuse – something they vehemently oppose — but there are now a handful of other similar stories coming to light where parents were stripped of their ability to oversee their child's care at Boston Children's Hospital. Jessica Hilliard is one of them.
Hilliard's relationship with Boston Children's Hospital dates back to 2006. Her daughter, Eithene, was born with multiple birth defects, so Jessica and her husband would live at the hospital for hundreds of days a year over the next five years. When she was 2 1/2 years old, the Eithene's condition began to worsen. Combining knowledge from her own scientific degrees – Hilliard currently studying for a Masters in bioethics – and doing her own research, as many parents with access to the Internet these days would also do, Hilliard suggested to hospital physicians that her daughter be tested for mitochondrial disease.
This is the same complex disease that 14-year-old Justina Pelletier was diagnosed with. "When we approached Children's with the possibility it was mitochondrial disease, we were immediately met with resistance," specifically from the hospital's genetics and metabolism departments, Jessica Hilliard said. But they kept pressing and eventually had a sample of muscle tissue taken from their daughter's thigh. This test is the "gold standard" for a mitochondrial diagnosis.
Cases of misdiagnosis at Boston Children's Hospital are quite common. The hospital says Justina Pelletier really has a psychiatric disorder. They then tried to use this same, lame excuse with the Hilliards. Undesrstand that the Hilliards are not alone in thinking that something was physically wrong (likely mitochondrial disease) with their daughter. The genetics department that had analyzed her daughter's muscle sample "didn't believe the results," which favored a diagnosis of mitochondrial disease. Instead of telling the Hilliards of this initial finding, the doctors withheld the information for three months while they got another specialist elsewhere to test the sample. That specialist eventually agreed with the mito diagnosis.
Bottom Line: Steer clear of Boston Children's Hospital and the incompetent doctors that work there. If you value the life of your child, avoid this institution that will not hesitate to use the rubber-stamping stooges at DCF and the courts to do their bidding....It's all about profits. Period.

Colorectal cancer is an important source of cancer mortality, ranking a close second behind lung cancer among types of cancer that affect both men and women (1). We know many details of the natural history and biology of colorectal cancer. We know that the gradual transition from small benign polyp to invasive malignancy takes several years, and molecular biologists have traced the accumulation of mutations that drive these changes. We know that we can reduce a healthy person's risk for death from colorectal cancer by inspecting the colonic mucosa and removing polyps and cancer. The proof of this principle is the association of screening sigmoidoscopy and reduced rates of death from cancer originating from the mucosa within reach of the sigmoidoscope, but not beyond it (2). It follows that screening colonoscopy should reduce deaths from cancer arising anywhere in the colon, but we have not proved that point conclusively. Several randomized trials have shown that the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) reduces the risk for death from colorectal cancer. In the trial with the longest follow-up, the 18-year colorectal cancer death rate was 14.1 deaths per 1000 patients with usual care and 9.5 deaths per 1000 patients with yearly FOBT (3).

To the Editor:
The two articles (1,2) and accompanying editorial in the January 18, 2005 issue discredit the common practice of in-office screening for colorectal cancer. Dr. Harold Sox suggests "physicians may be concerned that the patient will not comply with the home sampling routine. Rather, physicians should redouble their efforts to get patients to comply". We agree. Yet, the investigators and the Editor continually refer to the traditional six-sample fecal occult blood test (FOBT). A better approach exists and is growing in utility.
Also worrisome concerning colorectal cancer screening is that many physicians perform no screening or rely on sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy that is performed once every five or ten years, respectively (3). As a result, 56% of patients with colorectal cancer had no procedure within six months of diagnosis (3). The reliance on procedures performed with long intervals is that disease can develop within the time intervals and disease can progress to an advanced stage.
Dr. Marion Nadel et al. surveyed physicians about their practices and found 6.5% of physicians use "other methods" including fecal immunochemical tests (FIT). InSure (Enterix) is a FIT that requires the patient to swish a brush in the toilet water after passage of stool on only two occasions. There is no handling of fecal materials and no dietary or drug restrictions in contrast to traditional FOBTs. Patient compliance with FIT increased 66% compared to traditional FOBT (4). Insure is FDA cleared, included in the American Cancer Society screening guidelines (5), and covered by CMS. We suggest that physicians not already offering FIT to consider an easier approach to colorectal cancer screening associated with higher patient compliance.

None declared
In response to Dr. Wolff and Dr. Hoffer, I can but elaborate on my editorial. One concern is using office guaiac in lieu of other, better tests, which is common practice, according to the survey (1). A second concern is placing too much weight on a negative result on a test that misses 95% of colonic neoplasia. The third concern is inefficient use of invasive follow-up tests. The office guaiac has a likelihood ratio- positive of 1.68 (2), which means that the probability of high-risk neoplasia rises from 7.0% to 12% after a positive test, which means doing 8.5 negative follow-up colonoscopies to for every positive colonoscopy. Using the six sample home test, the probability would rise from 7.0% to 35%, which would require fewer than 3 colonoscopies to detect an important lesion. Ultimately, physicians must develop better office systems to support home testing and identify non-adherent patients.
I am in only partial agreement with Dr. Jackson. Fecal occult blood testing using six samples obtained at home is an important test because, coupled with colonoscopy when positive, it reduces mortality from colon cancer from 8.83 deaths per 1000 over 13 years to 5.88 deaths per 1000 (3). It's not a perfect test. Its sensitivity of 23.5% is very poor, so that it generates many negative colonoscopies. But, it does reduce colon cancer death rates, which is more than you can say for sure about any other colon cancer screening test, least of all the office guaiac. We should advocate home testing, and we should develop office systems to help us raise adherence rates to a test that reduce colon cancer rates substantially.
Is a bad screening test better than none at all? Now there's a good subject for debate!

Shahrukh Khan breathes a sigh of relief over Mannat
A notice was sent to Khan by MCZMA on March 12, 2009 asking him to submit all the permission regarding the construction of Mannat, but he did not submit any. It was alleged that SRK violated norms of CRZ (coastal regulation zone) in the construction of Mannat.
But the current reports say that Shahrukh had bought the bungalow and an adjacent vacant plot some years back. Mannat is an old building declared as heritage building.

NEW MADRID - When New Madrid County Central made the long trip to Farmington last season, most expected the No. 2 state-ranked Knights to hand the Eagles their first loss of the year.
Instead, NMCC shocked everybody and rolled past Farmington in a 34-0 win.
The Knights, once again state-ranked at No. 8 in Class 4A, will try to bury that bitter defeat when they meet the Eagles, who are also ranked No. 8 in Class 3A, on Friday night at NMCC High School at 7:30.
Both teams enter the game 2-0 with impressive victories on their resumes. NMCC shutout Blytheville (Ark.) 28-0 and defeated Cape Central 28-20 on the road.
Farmington blasted Potosi 47-0 and defeated arch rival North County 21-17 on the road.
NMCC head coach Steve Rogers says Farmington will try to atone for last year's whipping.
"If anything, that should fuel their fire a little bit," said Rogers. "Most of those guys were there and I'm sure they remember that game and are still kind of smarting from it a little bit. I'm sure they're using that as some incentive to do better this time around."
While Farmington has respect among the pollsters, the Knights are looking to gain a measure of respect around Southeast Missouri with a strong performance on Friday.
"It's a game that if we lose we'll be out of the rankings," said Farmington head coach Mike Thebeau. "We don't have a major rivalry with them, New Madrid's just a good football team. We had our big rival game last week (against North County)."
In last year's game, NMCC moved the ball at will while the slower Knights managed just 153 yards of offense against the Eagle defense.
"Hopefully we'll play better and not get embarrassed," said Thebeau. "Hopefully we'll tackle better and move the football better. Everything they did was successful. They ran it, they threw it and they shut us out. They really have great team speed. We can't coach against that. That's God-given talent that they have and we just can't do anything about it."
NMCC plays five non-conference schools that have a higher enrollment. Rogers says his team delights in beating up on the bigger schools.
NMCC has won nine straight games against non-conference 4A and 5A schools, last losing to Sikeston in 1998.
"We like playing the spoiler or the giant killer or whatever you want to call it, and we enjoy the challenge," said Rogers. "We probably play the toughest 3A schedule in the state of Missouri. We're on a pretty good role right now, we've beaten a 4A and a 5A school, and this is a state-ranked 4A school. It's at our place and our deal is, 'this is our house and nobody comes in and pushes us around.'"
NMCC is led by running back Dereke Tipler, who has carried 32 times for 168 yards with a pair of scores. Desmond Sims, a highly recruited wide receiver, has caught two passes for 74 yards, both for touchdowns.
Brian Murph is a multi-dimensional quarterback, rushing for 68 yards with two TDs and throwing for 257 yards and three TDs.
Wide receiver Terrance Smith has caught two passes for 107 yards with one score.
Farmington is led by running backs Mike Hahn, (former Sikeston resident) Dustin Wiles and Dallas Bryant.
Barry Watson calls the shots at quarterback while Chris Hayes is the squad's top receiving threat. The Knights are big up front with an offensive line that averages 234 pounds.
"Their size concerns us and their backfield is improved from last year," said Rogers. "They try to power behind their big tackles. They're like everyone we've played so far, they're quite a bit bigger than us. I was impressed with their running backs, their quarterback throws the ball pretty well. Their defense looks improved from last year. It's going to be a good ballgame."

The taste of her lipstick is still on your tongue, mixing with the bourbon and cigarettes. Saying goodbye to her was a blur, your thoughts already on your test flight in a few short hours. The grinding of your tires on the asphalt, the pounding in your head and the wind rushing past your open window mix together into a sound... The churning of bass and the wail of a guitar that comes down like a far-off train, chugging and whistling it's way over the distant mountains. And now the drums hit harder...harder...this is the sound of you wishing you could forget her, wishing you could put her angel face behind you...this is the sound of They Were Only Satellites.
From Lancaster, Pennsylvania, They Were Only Satellites plays roots rock with influences of Elvis Costello, Wilco, Joe Jackson and '60s garage bands. Often compared to
Exile-era Stones, there is a definite punch-drunk swagger to their music that summons up blues, country and soul. While one moment is like a lonesome cry, the next can be a murderous howl of guitars. Formed in 2008, They Were Only Satellites has been orbiting over the Mid-Atlantic region, waiting for the signal from Ground Control to launch itself into a trajectory that covers the entire planet.

|Office: Pierce Hall 302
|Phone: 585-3716
|Office Hours: Monday and Tuesday 3:00-5:00 p.m.; and by appointment
Ernest Benz is an associate professor specializing in modern Eurpoean social history. His book Fertility, Wealth, and Politics in Three Southwest German Villages 1650–1900 analyses the onset of family limitation on the right bank of the Rhine river, the earliest documented practice of contraception among Germans. Related topics include migration, marriage, mortality, illegitimacy, inheritance, occupation, landholding, industrialization, and women's work. He is currently researching the family histories of rural and urban Jews in Baden from 1800 until the Holocaust. His other specific interests include the revolution of 1848 at the local level and struggles between State and Church, but he is willing to listen and discuss almost any subject.
Professor Benz's teaching duties include an introduction to world history since 1000, three sequential surveys together covering Europe since 1600, focused courses on the French Revolution and the Holocaust, a cooperative project in grass–roots social history, advanced colloquia in modern intellectual history, and occasionally a seminar on the history of fertility control.

Lions Clubs International is the largest service organization in the world. Since 1917 Lions have been meeting the needs of local communities and the world. Currently, 1.3 million men and women in 200 countries and geographic areas conduct vision and health screenings, build parks, support eye hospitals, award scholarships, assist youth, and provide help in time of disaster and much more.
A program to benefit and assist youth, the Lions of Virginia Bland Music Scholarship Foundation, Inc. (Bland Foundation) was incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) on July 1, 2007. At that time, the program was changed from an already existing, ongoing charity to a charity foundation (Federal ID # 11-3789354). Under the aegis of the Lions organization, the Bland Foundation has been providing performing opportunities as well as scholarships to gifted music students, both vocal and instrumental, since 1948.
The purpose of the foundation is to promote cultural and educational opportunities for the musically talented young people in Virginia (primarily of high school age). This goal is achieved through progressive competitions, beginning in February, at the local Lions club level, and culminating in May in a competition among 12 finalists. The Bland Foundation oversees the running of the competitions and also provides $18,000 to the 12 finalists. The scholarships must be used for college tuition, music lessons, summer music programs or other music education endeavors. As tuition and lessons are extremely expensive, the Bland Foundation provides needed assistance to these talented, hard working music students and their families.
Many participants in our program (especially the finalists), upon graduation from high school, have been accepted into the top music schools, conservatories and colleges in the United States. Finalists (vocal and instrumental) from 2005-2015 are enrolled in:
- Peabody Conservatory of Music of the Johns Hopkins University
- Oberlin College /Oberlin Music School
- Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University
- Cornell University
- University of Michigan
- Columbia University
- Carnegie Mellon Musical Theater Program
- The Juilliard School
- Yale University
Who was Bland?
James Bland, an African-American, was a popular composer in the late 1800's. In 1948 the Lions of Virginia were instrumental in having Bland's composition, "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny", adopted as a state song. To honor this prolific writer of Americana, the Lions wanted to create a "living monument". In 1948 the Bland program was established to do just that. "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" is now the state song emeritus but the Lions organization still honors James Bland and his place in American musical history through this successful, well-established program for supporting musically gifted youth.

Previous entries under this company are plentiful, and cover all the many problems we've had except the latest one - missing payments made through Western Union. My daughter has made at least two payments through Western Union that the company has denied receiving, and we've made one payment when they couldn't that also has been claimed as "missing".
Western Union has earned a very bad reputation lately of not verifying payments sent are picked up by representatives of the company that should get them. I'm sure GreenTree has found this another excellent way of fleecing its "customers".
I, too, am extremely tired of the harassing telephone calls, especially the ones at o-dark-thirty in the morning or late at night. We've also been through the Greentree/Conseco/Greentree loup, with the financial machiniations that has caused, as well. These people definitely need to be stopped, permanently. The owners need to be on the receiving end of some physical incarceration and HUGE fines for all their little "tricks".
I have a bad back, and tension exacerbates the problem significantly. I'm about ready to sue GreenTree just because they're causing me additional physical pain.

Streamlining BHP Billiton Easier Said Than Done
Streamlining BHP Billiton PLC might sound like a good idea on paper. It could prove tricky in practise.
The mining giant, with a market value of around $170 billion, earlier Tuesday confirmed it was looking at ways to simplify its enormous portfolio of assets, to focus on four key commodities – copper, coal, iron ore and petroleum – with potash a potential fifth 'pillar'. That means BHP is looking to get rid of unwanted assets, primarily in aluminum, manganese and nickel, where profit margins are well below the group average.
First, it's unclear exactly what Chief Executive Andrew Mackenzie wants to sell. Excitable analysts have estimated the group could spin off assets worth around $20 billion. But that assumes BHP is ready to sell some of its thermal coal assets, according to BMO Capital analyst Tony Robson. Assume instead that the sale focuses on just aluminum, nickel and manganese, and the assets on the block could be worth more like $10.7 billion, BMO says.
Still, that's a sizeable offload. So how will BHP go about the process? There are pros and cons to all its options.
1) Spin-off: BHP could set up a new company containing its unloved assets, distributing shares in the NewCo to its existing shareholders. In theory, the new company's management would have more time than BHP's current leadership to devote to maximizing value from its mines.
But BHP's dual listing in London and Sydney may not make sense for a much smaller company. BHP would therefore have to decide which set of investors got the new company's shares, and how it would compensate the other set. Moreover, there's no guarantee its low-returning assets can be improved – meaning a spin-off may not actually create any value. And a spin-off could create a tax liability for BHP's current shareholders, a partner at a large accountancy firm said.
2) IPO: BHP could go one step further than a spin-off and float the aluminum, manganese and nickel assets in a separate company. One advantage over spin-off is that it would raise some cash BHP could use in its remaining business.
But an IPO would leave BHP somewhat at the mercy of the markets. While flotations have been steadily rising, appetite for new mining stocks remains thin and any turn down in sentiment could make a float hard to complete. Furthermore an offer of 'BHP's unwanted assets' is hardly the most enticing IPO pitch – the company might have to accept a hefty discount to make the float a success.
3) Asset sales: Rather than taking quick options, BHP could sell the assets it doesn't want one by one. Indeed the company has already sold off $6.5 billion of assets over the last eighteen months, according to a Citi research note from January.
With an estimated $10 billion-plus of funds raised by private equity funds recently to invest in the mining sector, there could be willing buyers – former Xstrata boss Mick Davis, for example, has an investment vehicle called X2 Resources with up to $3.75 billion in funds waiting in the wings. And selling assets one by one ought to mean BHP gets full value for each mine or smelter it sells.
The catch? The process could prove almost as time-consuming as continuing to run the assets. BHP management might find themselves under constant fire for selling too cheaply or too slowly. BHP, which Tuesday acknowledged it has pursued the "simplification" of its portfolio for several years, hasn't received attractive enough offers for some of the businesses it has so far put on the block, according to one banker.
There's no apparent reason why that should change now.

He's Australia's most popular entertainer, a so-called triple threat who can sing, dance and act, all of it brilliantly.
Now, Hugh Jackman is showcasing his prodigious talents in the big screen adaptation of the musical Les Miserables. The heroic Jean Valjean is a role he was born to play and already he's being tipped for a Best Actor Oscar.
Still, our Hugh, is too grounded to get caught up in the hype and for the past few months, he's been back in his hometown of Sydney, filming the latest instalment in the Wolverine franchise.
And that's where Scott Pelley of American 60 Minutes caught up with him for an emotional trip down memory lane.

Why wouldn't an NHLer wear a visor? Why wouldn't fans want their teams to cover up? It makes sense for health, wellness, and Cup aspirations.
Hockey has been fairly lucky so far this summer. No tragic, off-ice player deaths to report, no catastrophic, freak injuries – a la St.
by Adam Proteau - August 10, 2009 12:10 PM UTC
According to a study, there is waning interest in hockey amongst Canadians... Ownership duels... and Pat Kane.
A few short-form ponderings on a sticky August morning in Toronto: • In case you missed it, an upcoming book from a leading Canadian sociologist argues that the presumed death-grip hockey holds on Canada's teenagers isn't quite so tight after all.

Say what you will about the outspoken, soon-to-be retired J.R., his skill and determination can't be questioned.
Jeremy Roenick has been many things – superstar, court jester, gruesome-injury guy – over the course of his NHL career. Thankfully, one thing he's never been is quiet.
by Adam Proteau - July 27, 2009 1:21 PM UTC
In response to Adam's column from last week, Toronto GM Brian Burke discussed what he thinks needs to be changed in the CBA and why.
A quick follow up to my collective bargaining agreement-related column from last week: a couple readers wrote in to wonder why I didn't mention term limits on player contracts as one of the potential areas of change for the next CBA, scheduled to arrive sometime after the fall of 2012.
by Adam Proteau - July 20, 2009 1:15 PM UTC
With little happening on the news front, the mind wanders into territories of annoyance directed at un-notable quotables.
Are you like me? Do you cringe and/or grind your teeth any time you hear cliches and done-to-death buzzwords? Well, since the NHL doesn't have much in the way of news to comment on, I figured we could take another periodical look at the verbal junk that passes for insight both inside and outside the hockey world and break that junk down to its nonsensical essence.
by Adam Proteau - July 13, 2009 1:00 PM UTC
With their off-ice troubles dragging on into the summer, the Coyotes are starting to be limited on how much success they can have on the ice.
Are you one of those NHL fans who believe your team hasn't done much to keep up with the off-season changes made by front-running franchises this summer? Feeling as if there won't be much on-ice action for your eyeballs to enjoy this season? It could be worse.

The tennis-hockey connection... one boring negotiation... how will Smyth's mullet play in L.A.?... and more UFAs in play?
I'm not the most fervent tennis aficionado on the planet, but watching the Wimbledon men's tennis final between Andy Roddick and Roger Federer was a privilege for any sports fan.

Featuring some of the league's best and worst, the Pacific's off-season will be defined more by the trade market than any big UFA signings.

When the Winter Olympics roll around it'll be all about the great hockey being played and not which country owns the game.
It's almost time for professional hockey's unseemly of seasons to begin. I'm not referring to the increasing hype surrounding this Friday's NHL draft, nor of the rumor-rama that precedes the July 1 opening of the league's unrestricted free agent period.
by Adam Proteau - June 15, 2009 12:50 PM UTC
What's with the Crosby hate? Just let it go... Fleury's slip of the tongue... Bettman does it again... and a hockey wake-up call.
Have to agree with writers questioning those who questioned Sidney Crosby's championship etiquette Friday night after his Penguins won the Stanley Cup in Detroit.
by Adam Proteau - June 8, 2009 12:54 PM UTC
The return of the Red Wings Hart Trophy candidate makes it very unlikely the Penguins can win two straight... and the laughs keep coming out of Phoenix.
Even after the world-class walloping Detroit laid on Pittsburgh in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final Saturday, I'm not prepared to suggest the series is over.
by Adam Proteau - June 1, 2009 1:09 PM UTC
After Evgeni Malkin was the latest to escape from an automatic one-game suspension, one has to wonder why the refs are there at all.
• Seeing as the NHL is in for a penny as well as a pound(ing) when it comes to selectively applied supplementary discipline – as it was in record time following Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final between Detroit and Pittsburgh Sunday night – it ought to follow through on its collective convictions and entirely rescind its rulebook.
