Friday, April 13, 2012 11:20 +0900 (JST) Experts analyze launch Failure. Japan's Defense Ministry sources say that what appears to have been a missile fired from North Korea is thought to have reached an altitude of around 400000 feet, or 120 kilometers. They say it then apparently split into parts and fell into the Yellow Sea, west of the Korean Peninsula. Experts on military technology are examining the possible causes of the failure of the missile, which North Korea had called a satellite-carrying rocket. One said the problem may have occurred when the missile was flying straight upward before the first stage was jettisoned. The expert referred to a report that larger-than-usual flames were observed. The person said this suggests that some liquid fuel may have leaked, or that there was an explosion inside the rocket engine when it was fed too much fuel. The expert said another possibility is that North Korea may have intentionally detonated the missile to deal with some kind of problem. Another expert said the trouble probably began in the first stage before separation or during separation, because the first and second stages usually separate about 2 minutes after lift-off. The person said launching a three-stage missile requires meticulous control, and questioned whether North Korea possessed this capability. The person said another possibility is some kind of error during the assembly process on the new launch pad. Friday, April 13, 2012 11:20 +0900 (JST) Credit: NHK ...

[video surce : CNN] North Korea's long-range missile launch... and the result? North Korean finally launched the long-range missile. As everybody expected, the result was a failure. The entire world urged North Korea to stop the launch, Like the US, Russia, Japan, and many other nations Didn't feel so positive about the launch Even China did not send observers for this launch And kept insisting that North Korea wouldn't fire the missiles. North Korea's Kim Jong-Un kept his irresponsible behavior And this will lead to further isolation of North Korea from the international community. Kim Jong-Un has been trying to cover up the fact that half the population is malnourished With this missile launch as an PR move to show that North Korea is a well-developed nation... Well, what can they do now? They have announced their failure as a regime through this missile launch failure to their own people and Even more so to the international community. So why didn't they just listen in the first place?
An anticipated missile launch by North Korea failed today when the country fired a long-range test rocket in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions and an agreement with the United States. The 90-ton rocket launched at 6:39 pm EDT, but US officials tell ABC News that 81 seconds into the launch, there was a substantially larger than expected flare and by ten minutes after launch, the rocket was no longer on several radar screens, including those of the National Military Command Center tracking system at the Pentagon. US officials say the missile is believed to have crashed into the sea on a southerly track, one official said debris did not fall near populated areas.

North Korea appears to have stepped up preparations for a long-range missile test. Satellite images of a launch site taken at the end of March contain evidence that these preparations are more extensive than previously understood, according to an analysis by the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. The launch is scheduled for mid-April. North Korea says it will fire a satellite into orbit to study the country's crops and natural resources. But Washington says North Korea actually uses such missile launches to test its delivery systems for nuclear weapons. Any launch will violate an accord between North Korea and the United States that involves shipping US food aid in exchange for a moratorium on missile tests, nuclear tests, and development at the Yongbyon nuclear facility. Washington says that it has already put food shipment plans on hold. These images and announcements indicate that even with a new leader installed, North Korea is playing the same old game. The launch would be the fourth of its kind since 1998, when Pyongyang sent a long-range rocket over Japan. The latest rocket launch took place in 2009 and led to condemnation from the United Nations. North Korea then walked away from six-nation nuclear disarmament talks, and weeks later, it conducted its second nuclear test. Expect more of the same from North Korea.

The United States of America - USA and other nations are urging the lunatic commies in North Korea to stop or curtail their nuclear weapons development and open up to international inspection. The lunatic commies basic response has been: get lost. Meaning to make sure the food is used to the masses of starving people in North Korea. Without such a process the food will go to Community Party officials, their families, the commie military, and their families. While the commies and military get fatter on American food, the masses starve. That basically is "communism 101." Now the lunatic commies have a rocket which is thought to be capable of being an ICBM -- Intercontinental ballistic missile. If the lunatic commies have the money for a nuclear program and rocket program they should have the money to feed their people, or should have used the program money for food. The lunatic commie brilliance is they used the money for food instead for their weapons development, while the suckers in the USA supply them with food. Basically it can be argued the American tax payer paid for North Korea's nuclear and rocket program -- God bless America -- bunch of suckers.

www.euronews.com A summit of nuclear armed states summit in Seoul aimed at keeping the world's safe from a nuclear attack by terrorists has been overshadowed by a planned rocket launch in North Korea. The US President vowed to push for more nuclear weapons cuts with Russia, and urged China to the do same. The White House says Barack Obama and Chinese president Hu Jin Tao agreed to coordinate a response if North Korea went ahead with any launch, which Washington says would be in breach of Pyongyang's international commitments to suspend nuclear activity. North Korean state TV announced the launch would be in mid-April, adding that it was to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Kim Il Sung, the country's founding father. The North Korean leadership says the rocket will carry a satellite and denies it's a missile test. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com
While the official agenda of the summit is to strengthen measures to track the movement of nuclear materials worldwide, much of the dialogue at the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit is expected to focus on efforts to get North Korea to back off a planned rocket launch and return to disarmament talks. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett reports from Seoul.
US President Barack Obama has told North Korea it will "achieve nothing by threats or by provocations", as the country is getting ready to launch a long-range missile which it says will put a satellite into orbit. Harry Fawcett reports from Seoul.
SYDNEY: A senior US official has warned North Korea's upcoming missile launch would be aimed south for the first time and impact in an area "roughly between Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines". Kurt Campbell, the assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, delivered the message in person to Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Saturday. "If the missile test proceeds as North Korea has indicated, our judgement is that it will impact in an area roughly between Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines," Campbell was quoted as saying. "We have never seen this trajectory before. We have weighed into each of these countries and asked them to make clear that such a test is provocative and this plan should be discontinued." The nuclear-armed North has announced it will launch a rocket in mid-April to put a satellite into orbit, a move the United States, Australia and other nations see as a pretext for a long-range missile test banned by the UN. On Friday, the North said preparations for the launch "have entered a full-fledged stage of action" and promised unspecified "counter-measures" against opponents of the operation. The move by North Korea's new leadership has set off alarm bells across the region with the Philippines already calling for help from the United States to monitor the rocket, part of which is expected to land off the archipelago.

Chinese officials met with North Korean authorities for the second time in five days as they continued talks over the launch. Chinese state media reported on Tuesday, that Chinese officials held their second meeting with North Korean authorities as they continued talks on North Korea's planned rocket launch. North Korea's intention to launch has sparked concern from the international community. Planned for April, North Korean authorities say the project is intended to deploy a satellite into space. Tensions are high in the region as international powers view the launch as a ballistic missiles test—forbidden under UN resolutions.

COQUITLAM, British Columbia — Lydia Ko made some more history — and made it clear that she has no plans to rush into a professional golf career.
The 15-year-old Ko is used to questions about her future, and she handled the latest round with ease Sunday after running away with the Canadian Women's Open to become the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history and only the fifth amateur champion.
"I'll still remain an amateur and then finish high school and then go to college," said Ko, who has mentioned Stanford as her college of choice. "I mean this is a great win, but I don't think this will affect me changing my roots to my career."
The South Korean-born New Zealander closed with a 5-under 67 for a three-stroke victory. She broke the age record of 16 set by Lexi Thompson in September in the Navistar LPGA Classic in Alabama, and is the first amateur winner since JoAnne Carner in the 1969 Burdine's Invitational.
"To break another record, or being in the history, it's amazing, and it's always awesome to be able to play with the pros," Ko said. "The last few holes, it got a bit nerve wracking, but Stacy Lewis, after my birdie on 15, she said, 'You know you can do it.' It was really great to have another player that I look up to giving me that much support. So it was really awesome."
In January, Ko won the New South Wales Open in Australia at 14 to become the youngest player to win a professional tour event, a mark broken by 14-year-old Brooke Henderson in June in a 36-hole Canadian Women's Tour event in Quebec. Ko also won the U.S. Women's Amateur two weeks ago in Cleveland.
■ Watney gets timely victory: In Farmingdale, N.Y., Nick Watney salvaged a dismal season Sunday at The Barclays with a victory that could not have come at a better time.
Watney turned a two-shot deficit against Sergio Garcia into a three-shot lead in a decisive four-hole stretch around the turn at Bethpage Black, and no one got closer than two shots the rest of the way. Watney made a 10-foot birdie putt on the last hole for a 2-under 69 to capture the opening playoff event for the FedEx Cup.
He wound up winning by three shots over Brandt Snedeker, who birdied the last hole for a 70. Garcia made bogey on the 18th for a 75.
The win means Watney goes to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings and is assured a shot at the $10 million prize at the Tour Championship next month. Perhaps more importantly, it could be a big step toward an event that doesn't pay anything at all — the Ryder Cup.
Amarillo native Ryan Palmer shot a 72 and finished nine shots behind the winner in a tie for 24th.

Translation works to hit book fair racks
By N Vinoth Kumar - CHENNAI
Published: 08th January 2013 08:43 AM
Last Updated: 08th January 2013 08:43 AM
When it comes to books, people generally look for different genres such as novels, short stories, essay collections or poetry collections. But there are book lovers, who are more interested in translation titles. In order to satisfy them, some of the major publishers have decided to bring in a large number of translation works from different regions and languages, at the 36th Chennai Book Fair beginning on January 11.
"Readers are interested to know what happens in the literary world of other languages. Hence publishing houses bring more translation titles every year," said K V Shylaja, translator and publisher of Vamsi Books, Tiruvannamalai.
Vamsi Books had published many Tamil translation works, mostly of Malayalam writers such as Pal Zacharia, Kamala Das, Balachandran Chullikkadu among others. The memoir of actor Mamootty, written in Malayalam, was translated by K V Shylaja into Tamil, titled Moondram Pirai. The book grabbed the attention of many Tamil readers at the book fair a couple of years ago.
"Earlier, I neglected reading translations as I found them very complicated. But when I started to translate, I understood the difficulties," she added.
Translation works Ayal Magarandha Serkkai by G Kuppusamy and Ottraikkadhavu by K V Jayashri, that were brought out by Vamsi last year, were well- received by readers. This year, the publishing house will bring six translation titles. Another major publishing house, Kalachuvadu, is said to be bringing around 10 titles, of which a couple of books were released in 2012.
Kannan Sundaram, publisher, Kalachuvadu, said, "The major challenge we face while publishing translation works is the complexity of the languages. There are only a handful of translators here." Kalachuvadu translated and published the works of Jim Corbett, Pablo Neruda, Herman Melville, Paulo Coelho among others. Its publications of translations such as Kizhavanum Kadalum, Thottiyin Magan became popular among Tamil readers and were categorised as 'classic varisai' by the publication. At the book fair last year, Norungiya Kudiyarasu, a translation work of Arundhati Roy's Broken Republic, sold like hot cakes.
Asked about the trend, Vairavan, secretary, BAPASI, organiser of the Chennai Book Fair, said, "Earlier, it was difficult to manage sales of translation titles. But with the changing times, readers are interested to read literature works of other languages too. Last year, around 50 translation titles were on sale. This year, we can expect more of it."

Here two Western-born lamas of the Nyingma tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism explore what it means to be utterly emotionally alive. Written in contemporary, nonacademic language, this book is a radical challenge to the misconception that inner Vajrayana is primarily an esoteric system of ritual and liturgy. The authors teach that emotions can be embraced as a rich and profound opportunity for realization. This fiercely compassionate battle cry rallies all who are audacious enough to appreciate emotions for their supreme potential as vehicles for awakening.

The five minutes it would have taken to resurrect the copy of the ad from his computer and place it online; the minute it would have taken to shuffle off the applications onto another employee for review; and the hour it would have eaten to interview the best two prospects added up to far too much time from his day. We got closer and closer to Crunch Time and still he did not place an ad. Sometimes he just went home early to rest up for the upcoming busy season, and Gay Panda did not know what he was resting up for since he didn't do anything else during the busy season than he did during the slow. In fact, he often did less.
This was how Toodles joined the company. She was the wife of the company's tech supplier, and overhearing* the tech guy mention that his wife was having no luck finding work, Mr. Magazine Time suggested the lab. And so she was hired for the position without so much as an application or an interview, and problem solved! Mr. Magazine Time returned to his magazines in triumph.
Hearing a manic laugh outside my cubicle one shift, I was introduced to the new lab tech the day before she was to begin. The woman was in her fifties, very wide and extremely pale, and the only color upon her person was from her dyed red hair. It was fried from long chemical abuse, knotted and stiff and shaggy, but she ran her hand through it lovingly as if they were the locks of a princess who moisturized on a daily basis. Her eyes had a dizzy look, like she had disembarked from a roller coaster, and she greeted me too loudly among the sea of cubicles and quiet workers. I smiled politely, my radar for strange individuals already in the red zone and ringing PING PING PING in my mind, and I hoped that she was just exuberant and excited and we would get along fine.
On her first day of work, she was late. I waited in the office with annoyance, since Mr. Magazine Time had informed me that she and I would be sharing my work truck Pudding. At last she showed and we loaded into Pudding, and as I pulled away from the office to drive to the lab, the woman sighed in rapture and said, "I love how the air here sparkles! Can't you just see it?"
Had you been reading Gay Panda's mind right then, you would have heard a hearty oh, f*ck.
"I'm so excited to have this job!" she squealed with a hair toss. "I just couldn't stand my son asking me to make him snacks one more time! I can't wait for his school to start up in ten days."
You took a hard job for three months to get away from your son for ten days? I thought. Expecting her to answer four or five, I asked, "How old is your son?"
"Oh, he's sixteen!"
As I drove Pudding and picked through memories to determine my own state of self-sufficiency by my junior year of high school, the new lab tech unloaded about the neediness of her son. He wanted her to vacuum his room. He wanted a hot dog. He wanted a second hot dog. He wanted cookies. She laughed ruefully about how she had to keep getting up to do all of these things for him, how he could not manage to do laundry or clean his room and how sick she was of his whining and picking up his room for him, and finally I pulled Pudding into the driveway at the lab and exited in relief as she cackled maniacally in the passenger seat about how she was free of him for ten whole days.
For the next hour, she was trained on proper lab procedure by another boss, and then interrupted her to cry, "But that's completely inefficient! I'm going to rewrite all of your procedures and do it better!"
I stared at her.
My boss stared at her.
She reached for a pen to take notes on improvements.
My boss finally got her wind back and said that we would not be changing up procedures that had suited the lab well enough for many years, and the disappointed new lab tech persisted throughout that day in trying to convince the boss otherwise. I worked around them during the training, too busy to pay much attention, but that odd laugh was ever present no matter where I was in the lab or outside doing testing.
When we returned to the main office in Pudding at the end of the day, the new lab tech marched into the office of the CEO and cried, "I want to rewrite the lab procedures to make them more efficient!" Gay Panda hurried on by to the Endless Sea of Cubicles, and let the CEO do what she would. As I entered data into the computer, in time I heard that maniacal laugh among the cubicles as the lab tech went visiting to introduce herself to furiously working employees. Then it was time for her to go, and she stopped by my cubicle to say, "See you tomorrow, Gay Panda! TOODLES!"
And out she went with a hair shake. The next morning she was there (more or less) on time, and as we loaded into Pudding, she sighed in rapture and said, "I love how the air here sparkles! Can't you just see it?"
It was a perfect echo of the day before, every inflection and emphasis, and Gay Panda began to get very, very worried.
wow! she needs some Sock Sorters!

Lesson Plan
Once Upon a Pop-Up Book
- Grades: 3–5
- Unit Plan:
About this book
Students will compile all of their writing into a pop-up book that is a take off on one of the original fractured stories, The Jolly Postman: Or Other People's Letters.
Students will:
- Follow step-by-step directions.
- Create rhyming text modeled after that in The Jolly Postman: Or Other People's Letters.
- Illustrate a pop up book.
- Present their completed book to the class.
- Complete a self-assessment rubric.
- Fractured fairy tales you used in Lessons 1-5
- The Jolly Postman: Or Other People's Letters or another title that uses several styles of writing in a single book
- Paper
- Envelopes
- 9- by 12-inch construction paper
- Art materials, crayons, colored pencils
- 1/2-inch ribbon
- Pop Up Book Report printable (PDF)
Set Up and Prepare
- Print and make enough copies for each student of Pop Up Book Report (PDF). Students will only be using Steps 1 through 10. Note: These directions were written for a book report. In this lesson, I am adapting the printable to be used to create our pop up book.
- Following the directions given in Pop-Up Book Report (PDF), make a model of one or two pages you will share with the class
- Cut ribbon into four inch pieces. Each student will need two pieces.
- Prepare 5 letter size envelopes per student. I often ask parents to donate the envelopes. I usually receive a variety that work nicely for this project.
Step 1: Read the story The Jolly Postman: Or Other People's Letters to the class. Discuss each vignette and the form of correspondence that was written. Ask students where they have seen those different styles of writing before.
Step 2: Tell students they will be making their very own pop up book that will hold all of the letters, invitations, essays, and narratives they have been creating the previous weeks.
Step 3: Tell students that the book will be set up into several sections. Distribute copies of the step-by-step pop up book directions. Go over all ten steps with students, modeling as you go. Remind the students that these directions were written for a book report and we are only using them for the assembly directions, not for content. Distribute paper and art materials.
Writing should go on the bottom of each page. On the top half of each section, glue an envelope that the correct piece of writing can go into. Smaller envelopes work best for this.
Below I have provided sample text you can have your students use. They may also create their own rhyming verse if they like.
Students give the book a title and include their name. In my class, all students give it the same title, calling it The Third Grade Postman – An Adaptation of the The Jolly Postman.
Page One
Once upon a time,So they say,A third grade postman came one dayFrom the courthouseNot far awayWith testimony from the wolf's lawyer.
Page Two
So off went the postman"See you later judge"To the house of the Little Old Man and WomanHope they don't hold a grudge.
And he delivered a letter of complaint from an angry neighbor.
Page Three
The man read the letterAnd he tossed it astray.It seems his little boyHad already melted away.
Page Four
Once more on his bicycleThe postman did rideThrough the dark creepy forestHis eyes open wide.
He had to deliver some junk mail to the Frog Prince.
Page Five
The prince read his flierAnd wished to be green.It was a witch he neededTo help with his scheme.
Just then the postman handed him a wicked witch's resume.
Page Six
The postman had enoughOf that little froggySo he got on his bikeand said "Get along little doggie!"
He had to deliver a Texas Hoe Down wedding invitation.
Page Seven
The postman rode off.His work was all done.This book is now finished.Hope reading it was fun!
Step 4: Plan on several days of class time to finish this project. Work with the class consistently to make sure they are following the directions.
Step 5: When all the glue has dried, have students decorate and address the envelopes they have glued to the top. "Stuff" the appropriate writing piece into each envelope. Glue the ribbon to the inside of the front and back cover. When the book is finished, just tie the ribbon together to hold all of your writing inside.
Step 6: Students can complete an online self-assessment rubric found in Scholastic's online activity Myths, Folktales and Fairy Tales when they are finished.
Supporting All Learners
Students who are challenged in the area of fine motor skills may find this lesson somewhat frustrating. Always make sure there are a few student volunteers who can act as coaches to help classmates get through the difficult parts.
Lesson Extensions
- Have students add additional pages to their book. Invite them to read more fractured fairy tales and respond in written form.
- Invite parents in to hear the stories and take part in a fairy tale celebration.
Home Connection
Inform your parents in a note or through your class newsletter whenever you begin a new genre in language arts. Encourage parents to share visit the library with the students to find fractured fairy tales, classic tales or myths. Also provide parents with updates on how their students are using the computer and what their writing goals are. You might also invite parents to help students while they are creating the books.
- Write rhyming verses to go with their writing samples
- Create a pop-up book
Did you have a wide enough variety of fairy tales and arts and crafts supplies? Are there any titles you would like to add to your collection for next year? Did you provide adequate time for each step? Did you brainstorm enough ideas together? Did you model enough for students to complete the assignment independently? Were all learners able to complete this lesson successfully? What would you do differently next time to improve this lesson?
Assess Students
- Did students follow the directions to complete the pop-up book?
- How well did students work during independent work time? Were they collaborating appropriately?
- Was the finished product quality work?
- How did students score on the online self assessment rubric found in this month's online activity?
- Part of Collection:
- Subjects:Paper Crafts, Literary Criticism and Analysis, Literature, Writing Process
- Skills:Main Idea and Details, Poetry Writing
- Duration:1 Week

Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of a collection of information associated with the Commission's safety standard for electrically operated toys and children's articles.
Written comments on this request for extension of approval of information collection requirements should be submitted by January 25, 2013.
To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, the OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: CPSC Desk Officer, FAX: 202-395-6974, or emailed to email@example.com. All comments should be identified by Docket No. CPSC-2012-0057. In addition, written comments also should be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. CPSC-2012-0057, or by mail/hand delivery/courier (for paper, disk, or CD-ROM submissions), preferably in five copies, to: Office of the Secretary, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Room 820, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone (301) 504-7923. For access to the docket to read background documents or comments received, go to http://www.regulations.gov.
Robert H. Squibb, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; Telephone: 301-504-7923 or by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
In the Federal Register of October 4, 2012, and October 17, 2012 (77 FR 60685, 77 FR 63799), the Consumer Product Safety Commission published a notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of approval of the collection of information required in the Requirements for Electrically Operated Toys or Other Electrically Operated Articles Intended for Use by Children (16 CFR Part 1505). No comments were received in response to that notice. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the Commission announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of that collection of information without change.
The regulations in Part 1505 establish performance and labeling requirements for electrically operated toys and children's articles to reduce unreasonable risks of injury to children from electric shock, electrical burns, and thermal burns associated with those products. Section 1505.4(a)(3) of the regulations requires manufacturers and importers of electrically operated toys and children's articles to maintain records for 3 years containing information about: (1) Material and production specifications; (2) the quality assurance program used; (3) results of all tests and inspections conducted; and (4) sales and distribution of electrically operated toys and children's articles.
The records of testing and other information required by the regulations allow the Commission to determine if electrically operated toys and children's articles comply with the requirements of the regulations in part 1505. If the Commission determines that products fail to comply with the regulations, this information also enables the Commission and the firm to: (i) identify specific lots or production lines of products which fail to comply with applicable requirements; and (ii) notify distributors and retailers in the event those products are subject to recall.
We estimate that about 40 firms are subject to the testing and recordkeeping requirements of the regulations. Each one may have an average of 10 products each year, for which testing and recordkeeping would be required, resulting in approximately 400 records. We estimate that the tests required by the regulations can be performed on one product in 16 hours and that recordkeeping can be performed for one product in 4 hours. Thus, the estimated testing burden hours are 6,400 (16 hours x 400), and the estimated recordkeeping burden hours are 1,600 hours (400 records x 4 hours).
In addition, we estimate that each firm may spend 30 minutes or less per model on the labeling requirements. Assuming each firm produces 10 new models each year, the estimated labeling burden hours are 200 hours (40 firms x 10 models per firm x 0.5 hours per model = 200 hours) per year. The estimated total burden hours for recordkeeping and labeling are 1,800 hours for all firms (1,600 hours for recordkeeping + 200 hours for labeling). The hourly wage for the time required to perform the required testing and recordkeeping is approximately $61.75 (Bureau of Labor Statistics: total compensation for management, professional, and related workers in goods-producing private industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs, and the hourly wage for the time required to maintain the labeling requirements is approximately $27.64 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, total compensation for all sales and office workers in goods-producing, private industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs). The annualized total cost to the industry is estimated to be $444,952 (6,400 × $61.75 + 1,800 × $27.64).
Dated: December 20, 2012.

Jabil Circuit (NYSE: JBL ) won't be veering from its dividend policy, at least for now. The company has declared its latest distribution, which is to be $0.08 per share, paid on September 3 to shareholders of record as of August 15. That amount matches each of the firm's seven previous disbursements, the most recent of which was handed out at the beginning of last month. Prior to that, Jabil Circuit paid $0.01 less, at $0.07 per share.
The firm is a regular dividend payer, but is loth to raise that payout. It has done so only once since initiating distributions in 2006.
The just-declared dividend annualizes to $0.32 per share. That yields 1.4% at Jabil Circuit's most recent closing stock price of $22.20.

David Landsberg Named Publisher of The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald
The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI) announced today that Jesus Diaz Jr. has resigned as president of The Miami Herald Media Company to seek opportunities outside the newspaper industry. MHMC's general manager, David Landsberg, has been named to the post.
Landsberg, a native of Miami and longtime Herald employee, will move into the job immediately. "While we are sorry to see Jesus leave, we couldn't be happier about having such a talented and experienced leader perfectly poised to step into this important job," said Gary Pruitt, McClatchy President and CEO. "There is nobody better prepared or more superbly equipped to take on this role, and we look forward to the great success he can bring the company."
Diaz has been president and publisher of MHMC, which includes The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald newspapers, for about 14 months. For three years prior to that, Diaz served as the company's general manager. In June, MHMC's parent, Knight-Ridder Inc., was sold to Sacramento-based McClatchy.
"The sale of Knight Ridder gave me an opportunity to reflect on my own career, including pursuing a lifelong dream of becoming a CEO," Diaz said. Controversy surrounding the revelation that some El Nuevo Herald employees had been paid by government-funded Radio and TV Marti crystallized his decision to leave, Diaz said.
"Jesus is a talented executive whose tenure at the Miami Herald Media Company was marked by high performance and great results. We wish him every success in his new endeavors," said McClatchy VP, Operations Frank Whittaker. "I am excited to be working with David Landsberg, who is one of the brightest talents in the newspaper industry and a passionate advocate for Miami and South Florida."
"For me, being able to help lead these great papers and our media company into the next era is the challenge and the opportunity of a lifetime," Landsberg said. "Miami and South Florida are at the hub of change, growth and excitement in this hemisphere, and we will work tirelessly to make sure the Miami Herald Media Company continues to play a leading role."
Landsberg, 44, has been second in command at MHMC as general manager since July 2005. Before that he served as vice president of advertising, chief financial officer and in various financial roles dating to 1984. With a business degree from the University of Florida and an MBA from University of Miami, he was raised in Coral Gables and was graduated from Coral Gables High School.
He is married to Anoly Landsberg and has three young daughters, Jessica, Natasha and Daniela. Landsberg is a member of the Orange Bowl Committee, a board member of Goodwill Industries of South Florida, a trustee of the United Way of Miami-Dade, and participates on the University of Florida MBA Advisory Board among other activities.
The McClatchy Company is the second-largest newspaper company in the United States, with 32 daily newspapers and approximately 50 non-dailies. McClatchy-owned newspapers include the (Minneapolis) Star Tribune, The Miami Herald, The Sacramento Bee, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Kansas City Star, The Charlotte Observer, and The (Raleigh) News & Observer. In addition, McClatchy has a robust network of valuable internet assets, including leading local websites in each of its daily newspaper markets, offering readers information, comprehensive news, advertising, e-commerce and other services. The company also owns and operates McClatchy Interactive, an interactive operation that provides websites with content, publishing tools and software development; Real Cities (http://www.RealCities.com), the largest national network of city and regional web sites, operating in more than 110 U.S. markets, and is part owner of CareerBuilder, the nation's largest online classified employment listing service. McClatchy also owns 25 percent of Classified Ventures, a newspaper industry partnership that includes such online classified web sites as cars.com and apartments.com. McClatchy is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MNI.

As promised I'm back with a hair care post. Last month I got my hair cut and as with every time I visit the hairdressers it has revived my interest in hair care. I alway promise myself that after having my hair cut I will look after it and keep it in great condition then I rush out an buy a handful of new hair products to help me maintain my mane.
I thought I would share with you some of the products that I have been using to keep my hair feeling and looking healthy.
I have oily roots and dry ends which makes it really hard find products that nourish my hair without leaving it weighed down and greasy. I also have a lot of hair but it is very fine so volume is a really issue for me.
A product that I have won't to try since reading about it in Seventeen Magazine when I was 16 was Mane N Tail Shampoo. This is the shampoo made for horses which was made famous by Jennifer Aniston. Let's face it Jennifer Aniston probably has the most perfect hair in the world so any product she uses of course I'm gonna want to try!
My lovely friend bought me the shampoo and conditioner to try and I was so excited to use it. This was originally used as a horse shampoo but can also be used by humans (some people might be freaked out by this!). It is claimed as giving soft shiny hair and also helping to encourage hair growth. This has a lovely fresh sent to it and I must admit that after using it my hair feels really soft and nourished. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks so I will keep you posted on whether it helps my hair grow faster.
I have also been using L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo. I spoke about this in my recent collective haul post. This shampoo works by expanding the diameter of the hair giving it a fuller, thicker appearance. I really like this shampoo and it does make my hair feel thicker especially after blow drying it. I have been switching my shampoo between each of theses each time I was my hair.
Now moving on to dry shampoo. As every girls with oily hair will tell you, dry shampoo is a life saver. This month I have been loving the Batiste Dry Shampoo Dark & Deep Brown. This dry shampoo contains a hint of colour which is great because normal dry shampoos can leave a white cast on my dark hair. I don't think I have found a better dry shampoo than Batiste however I have heard that the one from Dove is supposed to be good so I may just have to try that. I use this on days in between washes. It also helps to had a bit of volume to my hair.
Moving on to products that help condition and protect my hair, the more interesting products some may say! I recently bought the Charles Worthington Salon at Home Intense Rescue Melting Balm. This is a pre shower product. It is basically a solid balm which you scoop out a small amount rub between your hands, turning it to an oil and then you apply this to dry hair, leave it for 20 mins and then wash out and shower as normal. It helps to add moisture back to the hair, smooth and repairs split ends and add shine. A little of this goes a long way! As I have oily roots I only apply this from my mid lengths to my ends. After using this hair treatment my hair feels so soft and healthy. I have been using this once a week for an extra boost of nourishment.
My everyday conditioner has been the Mane N Tail Conditioner. This conditioner to match the shampoo smells equally fresh. It is a thick conditioner which I like and again I only apply this from my mid lengths down. This makes my hair feels so smooth and soft and I have noticed that my ends look much healthier.
A new product to my hair care collection is the It's A 10 Miracle Leave-In Product. I have heard so many beauty gurus talk about this hair product, especially the American girls. I finally decided to buy it (from Sally's). This product is a 10 in 1 leave in product which claims to 1) repair dry damaged hair 2) add shine 3) detangles 4) control frizz 5) seal & protect hair colour 6) stop hair breakage 7) prevent split ends 8) create silkiness 9) enhance natural body and 10) act as a thermal protector.....phewwww! That is a long list but sounds good, right? I was surprised at how thick this lotion is and was surpassed that it act managed to spray. I sprayed this in my damp hair and blow dried and styled it as normal. This really works, my hair felt amazing after using this. So soft, shiny and just manageable.
Finally when I only use shampoo and conditioner I like to apply a small amount of the Phil Smith Argan Oil Hair Transforming Cream. As the name suggests it contains argan oil. This just adds moisture to my ends and helps protect them from heat styling. It also smells amazing and doesn't weigh down or leave my hair greasy.
These are the products that I have been using and loving to keep my hair in shape. I'm pretty happy with my hair care routine at the moment and think I will be sticking with it for a while. It's all about the soft, shiny, nourished hair :)
What products have you been loving for your hair?

But the egg – 8 inches in diameter and weighing 6.6 ounces – was actually the product of Popples, Whitaker's 2-year-old Rhode Island red.
"I've never seen an egg that size before," Whitaker told London's Daily Mail. "We have had bobbly ones and long ones but never anything like this."
Popples, despite having performed a rather astonishing feat, seems to be doing fine. "Popples seems okay," said mom Teresa Whitaker, "and has been clucking as normal since."

HOPKINS SAYS HIS DISTRICT CAN'T AFFORD A RESOURCE OFFICER ON EVERY CLARKSVILLE SCHOOL CAMPUS. "And really we would want multiple people on every campus, you never know when that person's sick or can't be there that day" "We wanted to try and put together a comprehensive program that had multiple trained people in every building." HOPKINS SAYS HE THOUGHT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MET ALL REQUIREMENTS TO ARM A SELECT GROUP OF TEACHERS AND STAFF.

STOPPING people selling food at Arrow Valley Lake has been branded 'against the interests' of Redditch people.
Borough council bosses have this week been handed a petition urging them to review their position by a trader hoping to set-up business at the beauty spot.
Jonathan Creaton currently provides refreshments at the visitors' centre after taking over the management of the site in 2010 and the council has turned down Ann Taylor's request to run a refreshment stand at the opposite side of the lake.
But she has now collected more than 300 signatures, comments and Facebook likes from residents supporting her view more competition should be allowed to offer a wider choice to visitors.
Andrew Willis, who has been helping with the petition, told the Standard the lake was probably 'our most valuable asset' and there was a 'lot of ill feeling' about the centre being run privately.
He said after putting in a formal application, Miss Taylor had been advised to get public liability insurance which she had done, only to be told the council would not do anything to hurt the business interests of Mr Creaton.
"We questioned that as it seems anti-competitive. We had a phone call to say there was nothing they could do but they have never sent an e-mail or letter so I suspect there isn't a proper reason for doing it. If that is the proper outcome and they put that in writing there is no problem."
John Godwin, head of leisure and cultural services, said how the contractor decided to provide refreshments was 'up to them' as long as they met the requirement of the original specification.
"We can and will use our regular contract monitoring meetings to raise any concerns that have been brought to our attention.
"Meanwhile if anyone makes a written request to trade there, then we will answer in writing as we do with all such requests."
A spokesman for Worcestershire Regulatory Service added: "We have advised the customer that to be able to apply for a street trading license at Arrow Valley Lake they would first need the permission of the landowner."

Kennedy Stalker Free, But Still 'Loves' Her
Naeem Ahmed pleaded guilty on Monday to stalking Caroline Kennedy's 20-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg, but only because a judge all but made him take the deal. Since 2008, he sent the young girl love letters and gifts. In jail since his arrest in December, a plea deal for a 60-day sentence had Ahmed out on the spot yesterday thanks to time served, with only three years probation and an order of protection for the Kennedys and Schlossbergs added. "This is the deal of the century," a judge told him. "It doesn't get better than this." Prosecutors told the accused that the Schlossbergs wanted him to take the deal, so he did, though he would have preferred trial. "I respect that lady from the bottom of my heart," the stalker told the judge, sounding really stalkery. "I still love her," he said. "It is unconditional." Even if he is legally allowed to say that, it is terrifying. [NYP]

Tamara R. Rader, of Knox, enrolled in the college's plastics and polymer engineering technology bachelor's degree major, received the Pittsburgh Section Annual Scholarship. The $2,000 award is given to a strong undergraduate student who attended high school within the Pittsburgh region and who is interested in a plastics career.
"The Penn College plastics and polymer engineering technology faculty are very pleased that Tamara was recognized as an outstanding student by the Pittsburgh section of SPE," said Timothy E. Weston, associate professor of plastics and polymer engineering technology and department head. "It is particularly satisfying when our students from western Pennsylvania receive recognition because of the many employment opportunities in that region."

Governor Nixon appoints Fogle to Coordinating Board for Higher Education
January 5, 2012
Jefferson City - Governor Jay Nixon has appointed Brian Fogle of Springfield to the Coordinating Board for Higher Education.
After a long career in banking, Fogle is currently president and CEO of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks. An Aurora native, Fogle obtained bachelor's and master's degrees in banking and finance from the University of Mississippi. He spent two decades developing innovative loan programs for under-served populations and helping to revitalize city centers in Springfield, Joplin, Carthage and Neosho.
In 2007, Fogle helped organize the "Teacher on the Block" employee housing assistance initiative to encourage teachers to live in Title I school neighborhoods. He received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Drury University in 2011, and serves on an advisory committee and the President's Committee on Diversity for Missouri State University.
Fogle said his background in community development convinces him education is the key to economic success. "What strengthens communities is quality education," Fogle said. "Areas with higher education attainment also have higher rates of economic growth. Helping to improve higher education is congruent with my belief that in order to compete globally we must improve education attainment in Missouri."
Commissioner of Higher Education David Russell said Fogle's extensive experience in banking and finance and his long-time commitment to education will make him an asset to the Coordinating Board.
"The higher education community will benefit from Mr. Fogle's knowledge, experience and ideas in these difficult budget times," Russell said.
Fogle joins Coordinating Board members Kathy Swan (chair, Cape Girardeau), Doris Carter (Florissant), Lowell Kruse (St. Joseph), Betty Simms (Ladue), Mary Beth Luna Wolf (St. Louis) and Dalton Wright (Conway).

The 1968 Ford Mustang had relatively few changes from the 1967
model year. The grill was slightly revised to include vertical bars
and incorporated chrome trim around the grill. The real changes
were under the hood as Ford introduced a 427 in the mustang GT.
California Special (CS): Shelby styled fog lamps, fascia, and side
scoops. This model was reintroduced in the 2007 Ford Mustang lineup.
It features the same CS elements made famous in 1968 plus some engine
dress items.
Shelby GT-350: The 289 was replaced with the 302 motor. Convertible
an option.
Shelby GT-500 / GT 500KR: Cars used Thunderbird taillights and
different fog lamps. Motor was 428cid. Convertible an option.

Archie Plette calls himself a part-time picker.
But officials in Leominster say his yard is a health risk.
His items take up most of his property on Stuart Avenue.
The city took him to court to try to get him to clean up the property.
There are about a dozen lawnmowers and another dozen snowblowers.
He has dozens of boat engines.
Plette says the city is causing him stress, and he says he has a doctor's note to prove it.
In December, the court ordered the family to pay $100 every day they don't clean up the property.
Some neighbors said Plette is a good neighbor and is not hurting anyone.

The Equal Rights Amendment Falters, and Phyllis Schlafly Is the Velvet Fist Behind the Slowdown
The 50-year-old conservative Republican lobbyist from Alton, Ill. was talking about her successful crusade against the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution. It has been ratified by only 34 of the 38 states needed for adoption. Thanks in large part to Schlafly's shrewd tactics and relentless energy, ERA has failed this year to win approval in four other states, and chances look dim for the rest of 1975.
The amendment says that "equality of rights under law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."
"I argue ERA strictly and solely on the rights women will lose because of it," says Schlafly, adding that if it passes, "the right to be provided with a home, to go to a single-sex college, and to stay home and be a mother will be lost."
Her opponents charge that Schlafly's interpretation is unfair. State senator Esther Saperstein, a co-sponsor of the bill in Illinois, says Schlafly has distorted "the whole purpose of the amendment. She has told well-meaning women that if ERA passes, their husbands won't have to support them."
Schlafly's well-financed juggernaut has been undeniably effective. When the amendment was to be voted on in Illinois last month, some 3,000 women trooped to the state capitol to lobby against it. The troops were spearheaded by Mrs. Schlafly, who showed up with a bullhorn and two toy wagons full of leaflets and STOP ERA buttons. She divided the women (and some sympathetic men) into "combat teams" with lawmakers as their targets. The effort paid off when the final vote on ERA by the legislature was postponed indefinitely. Other tactics which Schlafly has tried in capitals around the country include delivering homemade apple pies to legislators, symbolizing the joys of hearth and home. She once passed out jelly jars festooned with red ribbons and the inscription, "Preserve us from a congressional jam; Vote against the ERA sham."
In spite of her hectic lobbying activities, Schlafly maintains that the role of wife and mother comes first in her life. She taught her four boys and two girls—they range in age from 10 to 24—to read at home rather than send them to kindergarten and first grade. She says nothing pleases her more than fixing a buckwheat cake breakfast for her family—when she's home. Because of her traveling she does employ a cleaning lady five days a week and has a personal secretary. "We're kind of strict about some things," she says. "Attention to studies, church on Sunday, good table manners and good use of time."
Clearly, Schlafly's interests go far beyond ERA. She worked her way through Washington University in St. Louis, putting in 40 hours a week as a gunner testing ammunition in a wartime munitions plant. After earning a Master's degree in political science at Radcliffe, she wrote a celebrated book, A Choice, Not an Echo, in support of Goldwater's presidential candidacy in 1964. She recently co-authored a new book, Kissinger on the Couch, explaining that "my main goal is to rebuild the defense of our country by ending the policies of Henry Kissinger." Her husband, Fred, a corporation lawyer, is the current president of The World Anti-Communist League. ("He doesn't wash dishes or anything of that sort," says his wife.)
Phyllis Schlafly makes such good use of her time that she exercises while watching the evening news. What is her driving force? "I think of my marriage and family as my number one career," she says. "When I fill out applications, I put down 'Mother' as my occupation. I feel it's as rewarding for most women as it is for me."
