Update: Recently the price of oil has begun to climb as the world economy rebounds from recession.
Most experts in the field of peak oil, as well as oil and gas investors such as T. Boone Pickens expect oil to quickly return to pre-crash highs as soon as the world credit markets ease. In addition, financial experts such as Stephen Leeb and Marc Faber, (both predicted the current crisis) expect the dollar to weaken in coming months, leading oil into the $150 per barrel and above range. Low oil prices will remain only if you believe that the world economy will not rebound in the coming months and people will never consume anything again and return to being hunter - gatherers living in caves.
Many of the large mutual fund managers, who are investing heavily in energy right now at bargain prices, believe that this lull in oil prices is temporary. All we can do is be prepared and not waste this opportunity as a country to develop alternatives.

Duquesne's Women's Track Grabs Fifth At A10s
Feb. 22, 2003
Kingston, Rhode Island - The Duquesne University women's indoor track and field team finished in fifth place in the Altantic 10 Championships held Saturday at the University of Rhode Island's Mackal Field House in Kingston, RI.
The Dukes were led by the distance medley team (sophomore Michelle Flynn, senior Julie Tyo, sophomore Alison Buchanan and junior Carrie Hucko) which took first place with an unofficial hand time of 12:16.60. The time sets a new Duquesne record, but no official times are available from the event due to a scoring system problem. Sophomore Marcie Hepler grabbed second place in the weight throw with a toss of 51'11.25 and broke her own Duquesne mark of 47'09.75, set earlier this month, by more than four feet.
Five bronze medals are accompanying Duquesne's gold and silver in the trip home to Pittsburgh.
Duquesne will next head to the ECAC Indoor Track and Field Championships which will be held in Boston, MA on Sat. and Sun., March 8-9, 2003.

KATHLEEN KANE, Pennsylvania's attorney general since January, is now considering a run for higher elected office.
The Scranton native is not planning to enter the crowded 2014 Democratic primary election for governor, as many speculated.
Instead, Kane is eyeing a 2016 run for the U.S. Senate against Pat Toomey, a Lehigh Valley Republican.
Three sources close to Kane confirmed that she is very interested in a 2016 Senate run.
"I think she sees it as a good opportunity," one of the sources said. "I think it's something she's seriously looking at."
No decision has been made, according to a second source, who has spoken to Kane about her interest in the race.

Vaudeville returns to the Victorian Players Theatre for a two-night run.
The annual event has become the community theater group's largest annual fundraiser, according to managing director J.E. Ballantyne Jr.
"We don't really set a monetary goal," he said. "Of course, we'd like to make more than we did the year before, and so far we've been able to do that."
Last year's performances netted about $2,000, Ballantyne said, "Which isn't bad for a two-night show."
Sam Luptak Jr. came up with the idea for the fundraiser and directs the production.
"He wanted to put together a fun evening of entertainment - some silly, some serious, much like you would have seen in the days of vaudeville," Ballantyne said. "We've been doing it long enough that we've got a group of people who are eager to come back every year and do the same thing or try something different, and the audience really seems to enjoy it."
This year's production will feature about 16 acts.
WYTV morning show hosts Len Rome and Jim Loboy, who starred in the Victorian Players' production of "The Odd Couple" that opened the current season, will serve as hosts of the festivities.
"Jim and Len came to mind because of the success we had with 'The Odd Couple," and audience members have been asking, 'When are they coming back,' so that prompted it."
"Vaudeville at the Vic" will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Victorian Players Theatre, 702 Mahoning Ave., Youngstown. All tickets are $10. All ticket buyers also will receive a voucher for the Barnes & Noble Book Fair, which will be held in February in conjunction with the theater production of "Finale" by Ira David Wood III.
For reservations or more information, call 330-746-5455.

Anyone with questions about traffic in Woodinville or the Eastside is welcome to e-mail their inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com. They will be forwarded to Joe Seet, who is the Senior Traffic Engineer for the City of Woodinville's Public Works Dept. Joe came to the City staff after working for the State of Washington.
Dear Joe: Sometimes I'm held up in long lines of traffic, which I assume are caused by some accident or something. But when I get up to where the jam started, all the cars have sped back up and I don't see any reason for the jam--no broken down cars or anything. A typical example of this is the rise near the west end of the SR-520 bridge. What's happening?
Joe: Heavy traffic flow on a congested roadway is very sensitive to any form of disruption. The traffic flow disruption could be very minor, such as a brake light coming on, a slow driver in the fast lane, or even someone changing lanes. The flow disruption could have actually occurred some distance away from where the long lines seem to end.
These flow disruptions create ripple effects to move back along the traffic flow, just as when a stone causes ripple effects when it hits calm water and the ripples don't dissipate until they get far away from the stone's entry--so the traffic backups and slowdowns that seem to magically disappear into wide-open roads are simply ripples in the traffic flow.

Former Penn State general counsel Cynthia Baldwin said in newly released grand jury testimony that the university's then-president made a series of lies and misleading statements in the months before Jerry Sandusky was arrested.
The documents released Wednesday include testimony from a year ago in which Baldwin flat-out contradicts a statement made by Graham Spanier to a reporter that he first knew the investigation involved more than horseplay when Sandusky was charged in November 2011.
Baldwin says "of course he knew," and she believes "that he is not a person of integrity."
The records also indicate Baldwin told the grand jury judge she represented the university when Spanier testified before the grand jury in April 2011, but did not contradict Spanier when he soon after identified her as his lawyer.

As Plato once said, "The first and best victory is to conquer self. Self-discipline is the ability to conquer oneself and control one's actions. The importance of this attribute was discovered during the early age of Plato, and continues to make an impact on the lives of people today.
Self-discipline is exhibited through many facets of one's life. Those who control their body by their mind are often seen on the exterior as possessing self-discipline, while those who control their mind by their body are perceived as having no discipline. When one knows they are obliged to do something, self-discipline is the ability of one's mind to convince the rest of their body to get up and get to work, whether it be homework, cleaning, or walking the dog. Also, self-discipline is taking care of one's body, by eating correctly, exercising regularly, and avoiding bad habits. One must be able to resist the temptation of sweets and go to the gym instead of spending all afternoon on the couch flipping channels. Often appalling emotions are aroused in everyday life. Self-discipline is shown when one can keep their temper, restrain from sobbing, mask their disappointments with a smile, etc. The list is endless, but the point is that being able to control one's emotions is another sign of having control over oneself, and thus demonstrating self-discipline.
One strives to control all aspects of their life, but inevitable restrictions are unsurpassable, and one often fails. It is, however, feasible to control oneself. Exhibiting self-discipline illustrates that one is strong-minded and completely in control of all actions.

The go-go music scene in Washington, D.C. is the setting for a low-budget movie called Good To Go, starring Art Garfunkel as a journalist covering the ghetto heartland of the go-go bands. To help simple folk understand the movie and its music, a record company associated with the film has compiled a glossary of current go-go terminology. To wit: If you think go-go refers to cocktail lounge dancers who wear white boots and minis, you're totally bamma—that's go-go talk for someone who is outdated but not aware of it. Go-go music is defined as "full-bodied funk," based on African rhythms with heavy use of cowbells, congas, timbals and brassy horns. Go-go music at its best is raw, bumpin', or hit-tin' an' holdin'. Another example: The drug PCP is called love boat, and the producers—surprise, surprise—say go-goers frown on that sort of thing. The phrase good to go is the ultimate form of approval—but, of course, anybody who doesn't know that is numb to the max.
Ron Smith, whose business is celebrity look-alikes, has been combing the country for those lucky—if that's the right word—souls who resemble rock 'n' roll's outrageous Prince. After auditioning more than 150 hopefuls, Smith plans to award one-year contracts to a dozen finalists, four of whom will make their debut on syndicated TV next week. A sign of the times, notes Smith, is that Michael Jackson look-alikes are now imitating Prince. Even more telling is that one of Smith's top Prince finalists is a girl, Lisa Benjamin, 16, of Atlanta. Says Smith, "She's one of the best Princes I've seen." Or Princesses.
M*A*S*H graduate Sally Kellerman will star in Loverboy, which she describes as "a cross between Heaven Can Wait and Porky's." As Roxanne Dujour, newly deceased porn star, Kellerman is barred from heaven until she performs a good deed on earth—specifically, helping an addled adolescent become a romantic success. Says Kellerman, who gets to dress up as Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich and Mae West in the movie, "I play a porno star with a heart of gold."...
South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond's daughters, Nancy, 14, and Julie, 11, snagged bit parts in ABC's fall miniseries, North and South. Julie's big line, uttered during a plantation barbecue scene, is "A lady never forgets." Nancy gets to say, "Mother says a real lady never eats anything in public."...
Word is that when the Colbys move to California for a Dynasty spin-off series next fall, Barbara Stanwyck may pop up as the clan's matriarch.
While on a sight-seeing cruise off the coast of Singapore, Michael (Flash-dance) Nouri and former CHiPs star Bruce Penhall tied—and untied—the knot with their respective fiancées, Hollywood agent Vicki Light and airline attendant Laurie McDermott. The yacht's captain and owner, Cary Williams, presided over the informal, impromptu wedding ceremony in which paper towels were used as bridal veils, a bunch of bananas and a feather duster served as bouquets, rings were made from aluminum pull-tabs and a copy of Joan Collins' tell-all autobiography Past Imperfect was substituted for a Bible. But when the boat docked, skipper Williams declared the marriages void, saying the ceremony had been all fun. Michael and Vicki's nuptials have yet to be rescheduled on dry land, but Bruce and Laurie plan to wed in July near San Diego.

Repeated use injuries, and dealing with continued dance
My daughter is getting seen for her second "dance injury" by an orthopedist. The MRI is scheduled for tomorrow after she was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture of her hip. Her previous injury was an achilles tendonitis which she received 6 weeks physical therapy for…any tips on keeping injury free, or safer when dancing a large amount of hours and training so intensly? They have really increased the number of conditioning hours this year and that seems to have cut down on the minor things that she doesn't have to go to a Dr. for, however she must have been dancing on this broken hip for a few months and just recently started complaining of pain. I understand dancers are athletes…but how do I get through to her dancing through the pain isn't always a good thing?
1 Answer
It sounds as if your daughter is going through a difficult stretch with injuries. Here is an article from our blog that may be helpful, to you both, and it addresses your concern of dancing through the pain.
Keep Healthy through the Dance Season
The article touches on some of the basics, and it is a good idea to seek the support of instructors and physicians to make sure your daughter's health comes first. Sending best wishes to a speedy and careful recovery for your daughter!

Credit Stanley versus Morgan Suisse
The investment banks at Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley have long had a lot in common. In John Mack, they share a former chief executive and, plagued by high costs and lumpy revenues, neither has ever been entirely convincing as a fully formed top-tier investment bank.
Today both investment banks are prime examples of the challenges facing the industry – in particular, how to reshape their not-quite-big-enough fixed-income business in the face of tougher regulation and capital requirements. And their results so far are very different.
When Credit Suisse became the first investment bank to bite the bullet in 2011 and get out of the parts of fixed income where its lack of scale had rendered it uneconomic, many rivals accused it of throwing in the towel.
But 18 months on, Credit Suisse has cut its risk-weighted assets in fixed income by 44% and slashed its costs by nearly a fifth. It has been the most radical slimming programme of any bank.
Morgan Stanley has cut its RWAs in fixed income by 35% over the same period, but still plans to reduce them by another fifth. It has been less effective in cutting costs, which have fallen by just 5%.
The medicine seems to be working for Credit Suisse. As the charts show, in the past few quarters it has overtaken Morgan Stanley in terms of revenues from fixed income and profitability for the first time in three years. Its pre-tax profits and cost income ratio have also overtaken Morgan Stanley's.
In fairness, Credit Suisse is closer to completing its restructuring, but there are worrying signs that Morgan Stanley's own programme is not running smoothly. Its results in fixed income have been disappointing in three out of the last four quarters.
Credit Suisse may have confounded its (many) critics, and shown that you don't have to be a giant flow monster in fixed income to make money. Morgan Stanley can take heart from this, but it still has a lot of work to do. If it's not careful, in a few quarters' time, it might start being compared with UBS.

According to a fellow diner, the Desperate Housewives star ate a steak, while Lopez enjoyed a plate of pasta.

The two were also friendly with each other: A source tells us that over dinner Lopez gifted his friend a Cartier necklace.

Lot # 1096 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris Limited-Edition Signed Bat Personalized to Barry Halper (#1/115)
Starting Bid - $2,000.00, Sold For - $14,100.00
Presented here is perhaps the finest Mantle/Maris signed bat one could ever hope to obtain, especially given its special provenance. This extremely rare limited-edition signed H&B bat was produced in 1984 to commemorate the historic 1961 season enjoyed by the famed "M&M Boys." The unique design of the bat features both players' facsimile signatures stamped, respectively, on either side of the barrel, below which are listed their home run totals for the 1961 season. Only 115 of these bats were ever produced and the well-documented signing of them by Mantle and Maris was considered an historic event at the time. This bat differs significantly, however, from all of the other 114 bats issued. This is the very first bat produced for that signing and is specially stamped "Limited Edition 1 of 115." It was then presented to Barry Halper by Mantle and Maris. Instead of simply signing the bat, like the others, each player added a personal inscription. Maris has written "To Barry – The No. 1 collector from the No. 1 Home run King. Best Always – Roger Maris. " Mantle has inscribed the other side: "To Barry – Best Wishes – Mickey Mantle." Both the inscriptions and signatures have been penned in blue Sharpie and grade a perfect "10." The fact that it is personalized to Barry Halper as a special presentation piece, combined with its status as the number-one bat produced of the edition, defines this as the ultimate Mantle/Maris signed limited-edition bat, and a unique and extremely significant Mantle/Maris signed piece. This bat was understandably a very special item to Barry, and one which he never considered parting with during the initial offering of his collection in 1999. Length: 35 inches. From the Barry Halper Collection. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $2,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $14,100.00

A senior U.S. State Department official says her meeting in Ann Arbor with the Dalai Lama offers a timely opportunity to discuss recent conflicts in Tibet.
Undersecretary of State Paula Dobriansky and the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader spoke briefly to reporters Monday morning before privately meeting to talk about China's crackdown on anti-Beijing protests in Tibet.
The Dalai Lama expressed his appreciation for the help of the U.S. government.
The State Department has said Dobriansky and the Dalai Lama have met more than 10 times since 2001. Dobriansky serves as special envoy for Tibet.
The Dalai Lama wrapped up a weekend of lectures at the University of Michigan.

One disadvantage of a digital camera is that it seems that they are not nearly as funny as the retro cameras out there. Philips apparently agreed, because they have decided to go out with a digital camera with a classic retro design. Is obviously smaller than the original retro cameras, it will be much more portable, while maintaining a retro.
The camera has all the usual benefits, such as lithium ion rechargeable battery and comes with a software image management, as well as a USB cable. It also has the added benefit of using environmentally friendly materials and uses lead-free construction. You can store over 200 pictures in the camera. If you're in need of a webcam, digital camera that can also double.

by Friday, April 22nd, 2011 12:37pm Part of the Music Films series
There was a time before YouTube, believe it or not, and if you wanted to see clips of your favorite band playing live, you either had to try and bootleg them from the next show you went to, which was not generally encouraged by most bands, or you could buy a concert video.
Most of the music films discussed thus far are fairly easy to classify; they're either a concert film or a documentary. ODDSAC is neither.
ODDSAC is hard to classify, mainly because it is so utterly obscure. It is not so much a film, as it is pure art. They say the best art brings out a strong reaction in the viewer, whether it is positive or negative, and this film is no different. The whole movie has a surreal feeling to it, as if you are peeking in on someone's deepest dreams, or nightmares, as it were.
The concept behind this film was to make a "visual album", that is to say, a close-knit collaboration between musician and film maker to make a visual representation of brand new, never-before-heard Animal Collective material. The guys in Animal Collective did not want to make all the music beforehand, and then bring it to a film maker to fill in the blanks, so to speak. They wanted a true collaboration in the creative process, where the film inspired the music, and the music inspired the film, and that is what they got. The director of the film, Danny Perez, had done a few music videos for Animal Collective, all equally bizarre, and was very familiar with the band's style of music and influences, so it was an obvious choice for them. Danny Perez, who has done videos for songs such as "Summertime Clothes" and "Who Would Win A Rabbit", brings a similar style associated with Animal Collective's music videos to ODDSAC, which gives it that distinct Animal Collective taste and flavoring.
The film doesn't have any concrete plot, although after multiple viewings, one can draw their own conclusions. It is more of a series of vignettes loosely strung together with random eruptions of color and strange, mystifying imagery than any kind of traditional narrative. But then again, there is nothing traditional about Animal Collective's music, so what else would you expect? Most of the scenes take place in bizarre landscapes, like a spooky forest haunted by cannibalistic vampires, or a mutated creature playing a drum set in the middle of a rock quarry. Some of the shots are so beautiful and strange that one can not help but wonder if is an actual place being depicted on screen, or if it is some kind of green screen trick, and that is half of the magic of the film.
The other half is the music. Animal Collective's music has always been considered "avante-garde" and "experimental", but this is a whole new level of experimentation for them. Only a few tracks on the "visual album" have lyrics, whereas a good majority of the film is instrumental, which is not exactly the norm for Animal Collective. Most people know them for their odd vocal stylings and haunting-yet-somehow-catchy melodies. The film still does has some of that, and the songs that do have lyrics are quite exceptional, but the instrumental music is the real highlight. It is very dramatic and suiting to the mysterious, psychedelic, and sometimes graphic imagery portrayed on screen. The film itself is only about 50 minutes, but time becomes a rather meaningless concept once the film starts. As soon as you are immersed in the ocean of color, sight, and sound that is ODDSAC, your mind is under complete control by Animal Collective.

Butaud selected as police jury president
A year ago, Gerald Butaud had just been elected as a new police juror by the people in the district and not long afterwards, he was elected as the president of the police jury despite never serving.
In his first year, Butuad survived two hurricanes, including one that flooded 400 homes in the parish.
Bottom line, the rookie police juror survived his first term as president.
"I have been dealing with hurricanes when I worked for Family Support," Butaud said. "Our office always had a role in hurricanes, so I was familiar with Bob LeBlanc. The plan he (LeBlanc) created, works."
Before running for a police jury seat, Butaud retired from the state's Family Support office in Abbeville.
On Monday night. the police jurors voted Butaud as president for a second year.
He thanked the jury for the position. "2008 was more successful than I ever could have imagined," Butaud said. I thank the jurors for their support and I look forward to serving for another year as we face the challenges ahead of us."
"I feel Gerald did a great job as president," said police juror Wayne Touchet.
The jurors also voted Ron Darby as the vice president and Chris Theriot as the secretary of administration.

High school football is king in Texas. From the mega-schools of the Metroplex to the tiniest of communities rooting on the local team, Friday nights bring something special to every nook and cranny of the Lone Star State. That fact is certainly true come time for the playoffs, where the spirit of entire towns can be rekindled or shaken with every fateful snap.
The current playoff format, however, still leaves something to be desired. Divisions are segregated, making way for two state championships in each classification. While that may be all well and good, it's similar to splitting into the old AFL and NFL without playing a Super Bowl. Although each of the state champions may be deserving, questions continue to linger as to who actually is the best football team in Texas in each class.
Yet for all its shortcomings, the Texas football playoffs arguably cannot take credit for being the most obscure in the nation. Instead, the honor may belong to Florida, another football crazy state that has turned to mathematicians to help decide its state champions.
The change first began late last year, when the Florida High School Activities Association - Florida's version of the University Interscholastic League - faced a problem when it decided to add a sixth classification for football. Previously there had been 16 districts per classifications, with two teams making the playoffs from every district. After the realignment, only 12 districts remained in each class, with groups of three districts serving as one region.
That caused problems for the FHSAA from the outset, as only two teams per district mathematically could not fill the 32 playoff spots per classification.
Enter the at-large berth - aka wild card. Along with the two playoff teams per district (making six per region), two at-large berths were awarded from each region. That makes eight per region and 32 overall, thus filling the playoff brackets.
But herein lies the problem. To determine at-large berths, the FHSAA only uses the first nine games of the 10-game season. Only the best records are considered for the at-large spots, with a series of formulas necessary to break any ties. Think of it as the Bowl Championship Series of high school football.
One of the difficulties of the format is that, in its attempt to set playoff pairings in advance, it dismisses the 10th game of the season. In essence, a team could have one more win than one of the at-large teams from its region and still not make the playoffs via tie-breakers. On the other hand, it has helped create playoff spots for deserving teams that previously would have been rolling out the basketballs a few weeks early.
Every state's playoff format has its own quirks - except of course in California, where there are simply too many schools to make a state playoff system feasible. But Florida's system, for all its good intentions, turns the playoffs into a convoluted mess.
Maybe the Division I and Division II playoffs aren't so bad after all. The Canadian Wildcats might have found it a bit strange to face Quanah - the team the Wildcats defeated in bi-district last season - in the opening round of this year's playoffs. Their sense of deja vu becomes even more ironic on Saturday as Canadian faces Tuscola Jim Ned in the Class 2A Division I regional round.
Currently riding an eight-game winning streak, the Wildcats are starting the 1999 playoffs just as they had in 1998. After knocking off Quanah in the first round last season, Canadian went on to roll past Jim Ned, 62-6.
Although the situation looks very similar to last season, Wildcats coach David Flowers is quick to dismiss that game in preparation for Saturday's clash against the Indians.
"Last year means nothing," Flowers said. "It's a new coach and a new team and they do things different. So we have to keep from taking them too lightly."
That shouldn't be a problem for Canadian, which has been a bit of a surprise this season after losing most of last year's starters to graduation.
Even with a primarily young team, the Wildcats were able to build around the leadership of quarterback Derek Maupin and running backs George Peyton and Eric Hall. The three Canadian seniors have been rekindling some of the same magic that helped take the Wildcats to the state semifinals last season.
Along with another set of experienced seniors and underclassmen who continue to get better, Flowers is excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for his Canadian team.
"They've done a really good job of jumping in there and learning everything that we've taught them," Flowers said. "We've really had some good senior leadership on this team."

It's an impossible task to please everyone in this list but hopefully most will agree the majority of choices.
Everything is open to interpretation and there is a big difference in ranking someone in terms of their overall career and someone right now.
But many would and do appear in both lists as their quality and talent are exactly what makes them the very best.
And before the debate begins, John Terry is not on the list and no I haven't forgotten him!

Chelsea Arthurs and Jennifer Messer admit they felt so strong after completing the first ever Biggest Loser triathlon.
"Never in a million years would I ever have thought that I would even sign up for one, compete in one or complete a triathlon, and it was amazing to cross that finish line," explained Jennifer, 42.
"I didn't place first, but I finished it and it felt amazing and I was so proud of myself," added Chelsea, 28, who has since registered for her first half-marathon in Raleigh, N.C.
Both women were eliminated from the show on Tuesday, and now that they're home they admit that things have definitely changed, but for the better.
"It's been awesome and I actually came home, and my boyfriend – while I was gone, he lost 30 lbs. and he's been keeping that up and working really hard and going through this process with me since I've been home. I've also got my mom and my stepdad working out and going to the gym. It's great to see how much I've motivated [my mom] and family and friends," explained Chelsea.
Jennifer says she has a whole new family.
"I have just kind of taught my family what I had learned, and we are doing fantastic. My daughter [Kayla] has lost almost 30 lbs. and my husband has lost almost 50 and we are in this together. So, I mean, it is the best feeling in the world. I am so blessed."
Although the ladies are back to their everyday schedules, Chelsea and Jennifer both agree that their plans for the future won't start until after the season finale.
"In my opinion, that is when real life begins. I think it matters the most because it is the rest of your life and you have to take what we have learned in this journey that has been fantastic and incorporate that every day in your life," Jennifer explains. "I don't know what the future holds for me, but I feel that I have been so blessed with this journey that I have to pay it forward."
Chelsea agrees. "Real life begins after the finale and I'm so excited for it. I'm looking forward now to things I can do with everything I've accomplished," she says. "I'm looking forward to all these races I'm going to do. I love to get creative in the kitchen with these new and healthy recipes, so I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of that."

Frederick Ward of CT (formerly Churchill Taverns) in Northamptonshire signed a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) with its creditors, including HMRC in November 2008. It planned to make contributions totalling £172,000 over five years.
However, an investigation by the Insolvency Service found that CT had paid less than £6,000 befor the CVA was terminated in November 2010. The CVA said that CT would be responsible for paying any taxation liabilities, but the company paid just £64,050 to HMRC before it went into administration on 8 October 2010, owing £988,893 to HMRC.
After administration, CT's assets, including its five pubs were sold to Clementines Tavern, of which Ward was a director. Clementines entered into administration on 9 August 2012.
The five pubs are still trading. They are: the Olde Victoria in Burton Latimer, Kettering; the Kings Head, in Spratton, Northampton; the Sun Inn, Kislingbury, Northampton; the Plume of Feathers, Weedon, Daventry; and Rafferty's in Wellingborough, Northants.
Mark Bruce, a chief examiner at the Insolvency Service, said: "Directors who fail to pay taxes to the Crown after they have taken the money from the public, whether from customers or employees, should not expect to get away with it. This is cheating the system by gaining an unfair advantage over their competitors at the public's expense and we will put a stop to it.
"Other directors tempted to follow this path should remember that if they run a business in a way that is detrimental to either its customers or its creditors they will lose the protection afforded by limited liability. The Insolvency Service will investigate them and seek to remove them from the business environment."

A bunion is a bony lump at the base of your big toe. As it grows, it sticks out from the side of your foot and may move your toe out of place.
- NSAIDs help decrease swelling and pain. This medicine can be bought with or without a doctor's order. This medicine can cause stomach bleeding or kidney problems in certain people. If you take blood thinner medicine, always ask your primary healthcare provider (PHP) if NSAIDs are safe for you. Always read the medicine label and follow the directions on it before using this medicine.
- Take your medicine as directed. Contact your PHP if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Follow up with your PHP or podiatrist as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
- Apply ice on your toe for 15 to 20 minutes every hour or as directed. Use an ice pack or put crushed ice in a plastic bag. Cover it with a towel. Ice helps prevent tissue damage and decreases swelling and pain.
- Separate your big toe at night. Separate the big toe from the others with a foam pad while you sleep. Use a light elastic bandage to keep the pad in place.
- Use a bunion pad. Wear a thick, ring-shaped pad around and over the bunion to cushion it.
- Wear shoes that fit well. Wear wide shoes that have plenty of room for your toes. Do not wear shoes with heels that are higher than 2 inches.
- Wear shoe inserts or arch supports. These will decrease pressure on the bunion.
- Stretch your foot each day. This will help decrease pressure and increase foot strength. Ask what foot exercises are best for you.

Weasel time
The White House's innovative Open for Questions forum has produced plenty of substantive questions on wonky issues. But roughly midway through, the president preemptively took one of the more popular and provocative questions of the bunch.
The query, which received more than three million votes, was: "With over 1 out of 30 Americans controlled by the penal system, why not legalize, control, and tax marijuana to change the failed war on drugs into a money making, money saving boost to the economy? Do we really need that many victimless criminals?"
Obama actually interrupted the M.C of the event -- Jared Bernstein, chief economist to the Vice President -- in order to tackle the topic. He kept his answer brief.
"There was one question that voted on that ranked fairly high and that was whether legalizing marijuana would improve the economy and job creation," he said. "And I don't know what this says about the online audience, but ... this was a popular question. We want to make sure it's answered. The answer is no, I don't think that's a good strategy to grow our economy. All right."
Responded Bernstein: "Thank you for clearing that up."
Jack Cole, executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), said in response:
"Despite the president's flippant comments today, the grievous harms of marijuana prohibition are no laughing matter. Certainly, the 800,000 people arrested last year on marijuana charges find nothing funny about it, nor do the millions of Americans struggling in this sluggish economy. It would be an enormous economic stimulus if we stopped wasting so much money arresting and locking people up for nonviolent drug offenses and instead brought in new tax revenue from legal sales, just as we did when ended alcohol prohibition 75 years ago during the Great Depression."

Obama is proving to be pragmatic
I don't thing those on either ideological end of the spectrum approve nor appreciate pragmatism. He has a good sense of what can be done, and he's doing is best to accomplish that. I'm pleased to see that sense also lends itself to what can be undone from the Bush disaster.
Bill Clinton let his idealism get in the way and his first two years, in which he had a Democratic congress, were years of few good victories. He didn't get anything fixed on our awful health care system and his attempt to integrate openly gay people into our military proved to be a lasting disaster. Obama is not making Clinton's mistakes.
I hope the above is a stronger defense of the actions of THE OBAMA. My previous post was in itself a stronger defense of what I had originally planned to post: That you were being a poopyhead.

I couldn't figure out Clinton when he first took office
Why was gays in the military so important? Heck we've had gays in the military since the Spartans.
I'm willing to give Obama more than a break. Has there been any recent president with more on his table? A lesser man would have walked away from this shit storm. I do not envy this president. He seems willing to put a shovel to this steaming pile of shit that was handed to him. To all those who criticize him, history will judge whether you were a help or a hindrance to the situation.

My problem with pragmatism
Pragmatists want to be judged by their results, not their ideological purity (or lack thereof). Fine. But even by the results test they tend to fail: witness Clinton's "managed competition" health-care scheme, a "pragmatic" alternative to the single payer proposal. This results in the worst of both worlds.
And even when they succeed, it's generally the case that they would have succeeded anyway, even without pragmatism. For example, Britain's Labour party would clearly have returned to power in 1997 without Tony Blair's "New Labour" spin. They won not because they'd become "electable," but because the Conservatives had become unelectable.

Obama is a smart ass
and it's going to get him into big trouble some day. I actually kind of like that about him, but he's like Prince Phillip--shoots his mouth off for comedy's sake without thinking. See the Nancy Reagan slam, the Special Olympics diss, his "I won" arrogance, etc. and now this flippant take on MJ legalization.
On the other hand it's nice to see a sharper mind in there after the potted plant Bush.

I don't advocate drug use,I support legalization but understand
...that our government does not have the planning skills to pull of a stable legalized system where marijuana can be purchaced under a safely regulated system.
Cigarette companies have been killing customers by adding the most unhealthy additives to their cigarettes for the longest time, what makes you think that we can pull of marijuana cleanly?
Right now the most prevalent form of marijuana is a brand known as hydro (hydroponic) that is grown hydroponically and with who knows what kind of chemicals added in the process. It produces a highly addictive and incapacitating high that your parents didn't know about when they did it.
Right now this 'hydro' is readily available in the legalized drug market for medicinal use over in California, where getting a grower's/supplier's licence isn't that hard to do, and all sorts of loopholes occur as a result.
I just don't think our government has the capacity nor expertise to pull it off.
It is also important that addiction services are mandated along with the sale of legalized recreational substances. This isn't done now for neither cigarettes nor alcohol, it should be done, but it isn't. It is not okay for people to continue to abuse drugs, but if they are legalized, the government has a big opportunity to give lots of help in that area. But if they aren't going to, than they shouldn't bother legalizing it

I think at this point, if Obama were to advocate legalization...
...well, he's probably too worried he'd loose supporters and approval rating. ANd he's worried about that right now. He's probably worried he'd come off like a hippy.

If Obama was worried about losing supporters and approval ratin
-g, he would have abandoned continuing the bailouts. He may honestly think legalizing marijuana a bad idea. I think it would certainly help the economy and the government could sure use the revenue. History has shown us abolition of substances doesn't work. The illegality of weed only serves to finance the criminal element just like the banning of alcohol served the rise of the mob. A government regulated weed would be much safer just like it made tobacco safer. Oh shit, I ruined my point!

The choice
Legalize marijuana, and government regulation may fail to keep it safe enough.
Don't legalize it, and there's no regulation at all, so it certainly won't be safe enough.

Another thing to consider if marijuana is legal
There will be bootleg operations. People avoiding the tax and regulations. In that way marijuana is more like alcohol than tobacco although there is illegal trafficing in cigarettes too. So it won't stop all the criminal aspects. Of course you'll have to keep miners from buying it.

Hughley investigates legalizing weed in Californication
- Login to post comments
I had heard about those medical mari shops
hash, hash oils, and hydro. I sincerelly hope that from a medical standpoint, all that stuff is necesary. I recognize a few of the names of the strains and I wonder what doctor thought 'sour dieseal' and 'purple haze' would be better for what ailment. Although maybe it's just better for the patient to decide. Truthfully, a patient in pain, knows what medicine works best, and there, he or she seems to have that choice. So that's cool. But as far as abuse goes, hydro is very addicting for some people, not all. But I've experienced it for myself, and have talked to quite a few people that find hydro to be quite an unstable drug. Now that marijuana has been cultivated, it has become more of a drug than it ever was before. Natural only goes so far before it becomes synthetic. And synthetic has it's pros and cons, especially from a medical standpoint.
I wouldn't want a cancer or aids patient to not be able get their hydro because that particular strain helps them the most. But I wouldn't want to see someone who doesn't need it get hooked on it because they had less of a problem and went into the shop and came out with a strain that was stronger than what they needed.

They don't call it weed for nothing
If Marijuana is decriminalized, you can bet people will be growing it in their home gardens right next to the tomato plants. Its just too easy to grow. You don't even have to buy special equipment like you do when you brew your own beer or make your own wine.
As a Libertarian I think the government should legalize victimless crimes like prostitution & drugs and then regulate them to get organized crime out of those things. Realistically it would be difficult for the government to monopolize marijuana though.
Now you have street bums buying cigarettes and beer for kids. You would have the same kind of thing going on with Marijuana if it was decriminalized for adults.
If someone can come up with a better idea to put the ultra-violent Mexican drug gangs out of business let's hear it.

When it comes to stock market soap operas, one of the thickest plots revolves around the fate of Dell (UNKNOWN: DELL.DL ) . The tech company is being pulled in two different directions, one by its founder, Michael Dell, who wants to take it private. At the other end is billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who believes the company may be getting a bum deal with a potential buyout.
A resolution won't be reached until shareholders vote for or against the buyout on July 18. But in the meantime, both sides have had plenty of mud to sling at each other, and neither believes the other camp has the company's best interests at heart. In the latest twist, the company's board of directors has called out Icahn's team for inaccurate calculations of Dell stock. Fool contributor Caroline Bennett takes a closer look at how Dell got to this decision, and what it could all mean for investors on June 18.
It's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies.

Court unseals 2009 order on Holy Land Foundation unindicted coconspirator list
Earlier this month, we told you about a judge's ruling condemning the government's decision to make the unindicted coconspirator list in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing case public.
Today, acting on a 5th Circuit appeals court decision, Dallas U.S. District Judge Jorge Solis ordered his 2009 order on the government's unindicted coconspirator list unsealed.
In it, he sides with three prominent Muslim advocacy groups — the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust — that their reputations were harmed by being publicly identified on the government's list.
On the other hand, Solis goes into great detail — pages 14 through 19 — about how these groups were closely linked to the defunct Holy Land, which has been convicted of being Hamas chief fundraising arm. [The HLF and its organizers are appealing the convictions.]

Lisa McClellan is in the business of improving people's appearances at her business, Salon Source 2000, 458 W. Market Street. During breast cancer awareness month, she is to dedicate her craft to a larger cause by hosting a "cutathon" 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 19. Proceeds are to benefit Financial Assistance for Cancer Treatment.
"Hopefully, we'll have a line out the door," McClellan said.
The stylist has a special reason for staging a cancer benefit. Her sister Gayla Griffin died of breast cancer March 10, about four months before her 46th birthday.
Article Photos
Lisa McClellan holds some pink feather extensions available at her salon to observe breast cancer awareness. Just below her right earring, one can see a small extension she is wearing.
A corner of Salon Source 2000 holds a display of prizes to be given away during a drawing in late October.
"She discovered a lump in her breast and found out she had breast cancer the day before Christmas in 2009. She started chemotherapy in January 2010," McClellan said.
Family members and many friends drove Gayla to the James Cancer Center in Columbus, where she had surgery and radiation. For a few months, Gayla was cancer-free. Then early this year, tumors were detected in the other breast. From there, it spread quickly, with deadly results. She left behind two daughters, Erin and Avery, and had to miss the birth of her first grandchild.
McClellan said she had contemplated a cutathon last year while Gayla was in remission. Now it will serve as a memorial. She knows of no other fundraiser of this kind in the area.
The loss of her sister was devastating to McClellan.
"A lot of people deal with this in their own way, but I guess ... when you lose somebody, there's no closure and you don't get over it. Time passes, but the pain still exists. So this is my way of dealing with it," McClellan said. "I think, unless it affects people (personally), they don't understand. ... I just want people to understand, you don't get over it. You don't get past it, but you do move on. It's just hard."
McClellan said FACT received many memorials in Gayla's name. In addition, McClellan emphasized her livelihood depends on local residents coming to her shop for services, so she wants the funds be used for Seneca County cancer patients.
"It's important to me to keep all the money in the community and give back in that way."
To prepare for the benefit, McClellan sent letters to area salons, inviting their stylists to offer some time during that day to give haircuts and donate the proceeds to cancer. She had an immediate response from SC Salon in downtown Tiffin. Owner Erica Meier wanted to participate because FACT had helped her family when her husband Brad was in treatment for leukemia seven years ago.
"They really needed the help, and FACT helped them," McClellan said. "She is going to be joining me on that Wednesday, as well as another girl that works with her. .... They will be coming here cutting hair for me 8:30-noon."
Another stylist, Sue Reidy, is to cut hair from noon to 4 p.m. McClellan and her crew are to work on a walk-in basis with no appointments accepted that day. The event is open to the public and not limited to the stylists' regular customers. Clients will receive a shampoo and cut with no setting, styling or drying. A minimum donation of $15 is requested from each person.
"People will come and sign in and we will take them the order in which they arrive," McClellan said.
Reineke Ford has donated 100 Ford Cares Warriors in Pink bandanas. Each haircut client can take home a bandana, or the scarves may be purchased for $15. McClellan also has available for purchase Pink Hair for Hope clip-in feather extensions for a $20 donation. These are to be available all month until sold out. L&M Screen Printing is donating T-shirts, designed especially for the cutathon, which can be purchased for $20 each. The shop also is to accept donations for FACT all month.
Anyone making a contribution of any kind is to have his or her name entered in a drawing that is to take place at the end of October. The prizes, which are on display at Salon Source 2000, include: a special edition for breast cancer awareness Freestyle Styling flat iron comb and balance wrist band; a 30-minute body massage by Cary Feasel; a pink gauze scarf; a shellac nail polish service; a colorful clutch purse and wallets; gift certificates for services; and various salon products.
"Anyone making a donation can also enter in the drawing the name of anyone they know of who is battling breast cancer or who has survived breast cancer. Those people don't have to come in here and do anything to be entered in the drawing," McClellan said.
The day of the cutathon, Erin Kisabeth, one of Gayla's daughters, is to serve as receptionist. McClellan is appreciative of the many people who already have contributed to her efforts. She wants to make the cutathon an annual event.
"Every October from now on, I'm going to be doing this ... and my hope is the salons will put aside their competition for one day out of October every year and come together as a community of professionals and do what we do for breast cancer," McClellan said. "If I have my way, my chairs in here will be so full that we're going to have to bring in more chairs for more stylists, and we will be cutting hair for more than just one day in October for a huge event that's going to be smokin.'"
Parking is limited, but cutathon participant can park across Market Street in the former hospital lot. For more information, call the shop at (419) 447-2030.

I've showed you a couple of strategies for affecting the character of a walk. Another way to affect the character of the walk is to be very specific about the poses. And so by doing that, you have a little bit more control over the whole walk. So, let's do a pose-by-pose walk as well. Now, I'm going to start with a walk that's a little bit faster than the one we've been working with. This is a 12-frame walk. In fact, let's go ahead and play this. And as you can see, it's also a little bit longer steps.
So he takes slightly longer steps and he's taking slightly faster steps, because it's only 12 frames per step rather than 16. So what we are going to do is take this walk and exaggerate it a bit, by going through the walk a pose at a time. So I'm going to start at the beginning of the walk. Let's just start at the contact position. As you can see, this character is pretty much straight up and down. Let's give him a little bit more determination about where he's walking.
So I'm going to push him forward a bit and kind of push him into that walk. Now, I am going to start doing this by going into my side view, so I have kind of an orthographic view of my character, and I am going to start with the hips. So I am going to select the hips, and then I'm going to rotate them forward, quite a bit, maybe about 12 degrees or so, and then, push that character forward. I want to get him really into that walk, almost to the point where I am kind of pulling up his heel.
So once I get that, then I can lift the heel to make it match those hips. I can even rotate those hips a little bit further forward. Now, when I rotate the hips forward, he kind of feels out of balance, so let's go ahead and straighten him out. I am going to hit the Q key just to do select. So I am going to select one, and then Shift+Select, two, three. So I have selected all three spine joints, and then I'm going to hit Rotate, so he's reasonably vertical.
Now I am going to exaggerate this a little bit more by giving him more determined arm swing as well. So I am going to go ahead and snag the left shoulder and push that back. His arms are really going to swing on this, and let me see if I can get the right shoulder. Yes, let's snag the right shoulder. Now, typically, I would have to jump out or maybe grab it in another viewport, but it seems like I got it here. And then I am going to push that arm forward as well. And again, I'm just playing with the standard walk. So now, I've got a really strong first pose.
So this is basically what I started with, and then I pushed that pose to give me a much stronger sense of action. Now, if we take a look at this, you can see that I've got a really strong line of action. I've kind of got this line going all the way down, and this makes for a much stronger visual, a much stronger silhouette. So I'm going to go to the opposite frame, to frame 13, and I want to make sure I duplicate that pose. So let's go ahead and use our little Drawing tool here. I'm going to just sketch out that torso.
I want to make sure I get the position of the hips as well, as the bend of the spine. I want to make sure I get my arms in approximately at the same position on both sides, and then I want to make sure I get that leg, and I always like to mark out the back of that heel and make sure that I get the angle about right. And I can always just mark this out as well. So now once I have that, I am going to go ahead and move this off here. Then all I have to do is match that on the other side, and you can see how much difference I've created just by pushing this one pose.
So let's go ahead and start by pushing the hips to where we want it to be. I am going to rotate those hips forward, and I'm going to rotate it so his chest is actually in front of that line, because I am going to rotate the spine back to meet that line. So I am going to go ahead and select one, Shift+Select, two, three spine joints, and then hit Rotate, and then I am going to arch that back. And again, see how easily that matches what I had before. Then I am going to go down to this heel and make sure I lift that up, and then let's go ahead and get the arms.
I am going to go ahead and move this arm up and out just a little bit, and then let me see if I can get this right shoulder. Let's go ahead into Wireframe mode. I might be able to get it in Wireframe. There it is, okay. So I have got that right shoulder, and I am going to go ahead and move that back, so that the hand is about the same position. And I've got it pretty much approximate there, so I am going to go ahead and erase my guidelines. So now, I have a pretty good starting position. So you can see here, even with just those two poses changed, I've already got a stronger walk. But we can go even further with this, so let's go ahead and add some more poses in the next lesson.

Convicts, Thieves, Domestics, and Wives in Colonial Australia: The Rebellious Lives of Ellen Murphy and Jane New
Caroline Anne Forell
University of Oregon - School of Law
June 9, 2012
This Article examines the lives of two female convicts who rebelled against the law and the Australian penal system in the early nineteenth century. It follows Ellen Murphy and Jane New from their first arrests through their experiences with and exits from the penal system. As thieves, convicts, domestics, and wives, Ellen and Jane interacted repeatedly with the law. Both the notorious Jane (who was the subject of a habeas corpus action in In re Jane New), and the more representative Ellen, began thieving as young teenagers in the teeming cities of England. The law arrested, tried, and convicted them. Next it transported them to Van Diemen's Land (now, Tasmania). It then unsuccessfully attempted to manage their lives.
The law influenced convict women's choices in more overt ways than it did free women although, as this Article discusses, many similarities existed between the legal disabilities imposed on both groups and, on occasion, as with Jane New, the law doubly disabled convict women because they were assigned to their husbands. Nevertheless, Ellen and Jane's interactions with the law illustrate how convict women were able to make meaningful choices even in the heavily regulated penal systems of Governors Arthur of Van Diemen's Land and Darling of New South Wales.

Netherlands: Home of Marieke Wessels and Laszlo Balog
the jump... The stairwell in the entryway is constructed out of galvanized metal scaffolding. The white fabric stretched between the poles is what boat sails are made of. The raw industrial quality of the entryway is softened by a huge yellow flower on the wall. It brings a perfect amount of color and sets a playful tone for the rest of the home. Mariake who is an art director painted it herself. When looking closer, you will notice that the flower, wooden chest of drawers and a small pink-roofed house create a nice composition. Throughout the house there is a great mix of vintage and new furniture. The space is flooded by natural light and has a very open and fluid floor plan. We came across this amazing space on Marie Claire Maison. Check out the website for more photos and the full story. (Images: Marie Claire Maison)
