King & Spalding, Shearman Claim $250 Million ICSID Win
In a victory for King & Spalding and Shearman & Sterling, an arbitration panel has ordered Romania to pay $250 million for violating an investment agreement with two wealthy brothers and business moguls, Ioan and Viorel Micula.
In a non-public decision issued on Dec. 11, a panel of three arbitrators associated with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) determined that the Romanian government improperly revoked incentives it offered to the Micula brothers in the hope that they would build factories in the Eastern European nation. The panel ordered Romania to pay the Macula brothers and their companies $116 in damages (mostly from lost profits), plus $134 million in interest.
While the decision isn't public, King & Spalding, which represented Ioan Micula, disclosed details of the award in a press release issued on Tuesday. Shearman & Sterling represented Viorel Micula. King & Spalding called the judgment "one of the largest arbitration awards on record" at ICSID.
The Micula brothers were born in Romania. They took Swedish citizenship in the 1990s, but continue to own several companies that do business in Romania, including one of the country's leading television stations.
In 1998, the Romanian government introduced a series of incentives to outside investors, including exemptions from certain custom duties and taxes. Based on these assurances, the Micula brothers said that they invested around €200 million to build food and beverage production plants in an ailing Romanian province. They brought an ICSID arbitration in 2005, alleging that Romania violated its bilateral investment treaty with Sweden by pulling the plug on the incentive programs.
Romania's lawyers at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer initially argued that the Micula brothers didn't have standing because of their tenuous claim to Swedish citizenship. After the panel dismissed that argument in a 2008 decision, Romania argued that it had to revoke the incentives in order to comply with requirements for joining the European Union. According to King & Spalding, the panel rejected that legal theory in the Dec. 11 decision, which followed a trial held in Paris.
The King & Spalding attorneys who represented Ioan Micula included Ken Fleuriet and Eric Schwartz. Emmanuel Gaillard of Shearman & Sterling represented Viorel Micula.
The ICSID panel consisted of arbitrators Laurent Levy (of Brasil and Switzerland), Georges Abi-Saab (of Egypt), and Stanimir Alexandrov (of Bulgaria). Alexandrov co-chairs Sidley Austin's international arbitration practice.

He attended Patton-Douglas School until he enlisted into the U.S. Army in 1946. During his tenure in the Army, he served in Japan, post-World War II, as well as stateside.
Upon his return from the Army, Charles began a 36-year career with Santa Fe Railroad as a yardman. He also had worked for the bus station. His post-Army career included working for more than 40 years for the Shelton Family, Novie Woods family and Stinnett Family Ranch at Nara Visa, N.M., as a cook, chauffeur and house manager.
Charles was a horse trainer and often shared his story of how every Friday he would take off to Raton, N.M., to the racetrack and this continued for 25 years during horse racing time.

He was a member of the NAACP and served on the scholarship committee with AISD and Amarillo College for district 79107 children.

He elicited his many friends for donations from the briskets to the barbecue pit from Cattle Call.
Charles loved his family, and he loved to travel, cook and beautify his home with flowers and life in general.
Charles began his journey back to Christ at St. John Baptist Church. He led the charge for the building fund for this beautiful new church, serving on the finance committee until he moved to Amarillo Bible Fellowship.

Dealing with xls files in Python
It's been a long day coding. I've nearly finished all the preliminary scrapers for each state parliament and I must say I'll be glad to move onto the next phase.
I thought it's probably worth outlining my biggest coding struggle today just in case anyone else ever has the same issues I did.
To date, all mailing lists that I've processed have been csv files, which are wonderful because they are incredibly simple and for the most part just don't need to be any more complex than they are. However, it would seem the Parliament of Western Australia disagrees and to hell with anyone that operates outside a Microsoft environment. I'll spare you the diatribe about the importance of governments being platform neutral…
So I had to process an xls file which proved to be quite a bit more difficult than I thought it might be although in the end the solution was quite simple:
import requests
import os
import xlrd
class WaData(BaseData):
def getData(self, url):
""" Returns dictionary of CSV Data """
csvfile = requests.get(url, stream=True)
# create temp file
temp_file = 'temp.xls'
with open(temp_file, 'wb') as f:
for chunk in csvfile.iter_content():
book = xlrd.open_workbook(temp_file)
# get excel 'sheets'
sheet_names = book.sheet_names()
# get first sheet
sheet = book.sheet_by_name(sheet_names[0])
# get header row
header = sheet.row_values(0)
# create list of dictionary values skipping the first one
values = []
for rownum in range(1, sheet.nrows):
dict(zip(header, sheet.row_values(rownum)))
return values
There are some odd choices in here which is it worth explaining.
Firstly, I create a temp file 'manually' rather than using the tempfile library. That's because xlrd doesn't seem to like the temp files created with tempfile. tempfile creates a 'file-like' object which seems to exist as a buffer and xlrd doesn't want to open them.
I also wrote the content to the temp file using the requests inter_content() method as it just seemed to work a bit nicer given it's not plain text that I'm writing to the file.
Then, while I'm sure it's an excel/Microsoft issue, rather than an xlrd one, finding your way through the book object is a bit of a pain. So I get the sheet names of the book, then get the first one returned (lines 20 – 22).
I then loop over the rows in the sheet using an index and create a dictionary by combining the header row with the values in each row (lines 26 – 30).
Finally I clean up the temp file. Easy really.

Trial slated to begin in Arkansas fake bomb case
An Arkansas man is scheduled to go on trial this week after he allegedly strapped what he said was a bomb to a woman's ankle and then tried to force her to withdraw money from a bank.
Paul Bradley's trial is slated to start Monday in Fayetteville.
Bradley has pleaded not guilty to robbery, kidnapping and firearms charges at the state level. He was arrested earlier this year after authorities say he tried to extort money from a woman and her husband.
Prosecutors say Bradley attached what the woman thought was a bomb to her ankle. The device turned out to be fake.
Bradley pleaded guilty to a federal weapons charge this year.

Kim Kardashian says she was "a bit nervous" about posing with her boyfriend, Reggie Bush, for the first time – but she calls the results "super hot."
In fact, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is so proud of the photos that she's showing them off on her Web site. The shots, which appear in this month's GQ, feature Kardashian, 28, dressed in lingerie and a swimsuit, cuddling with Bush, 24, a running back for the New Orleans Saints whom Kardashian has described to PEOPLE as a "sweet, normal guy."
"We were super excited for this shoot but also a bit nervous," she blogs about the experience. "We had never done a shoot together and didn't know what to expect! It turned out super hot and we love it."
Kardashian also promises that the GQ piece "gives a glimpse into our relationship ... how we met, the things we argue about, and how we just work so well together!"

The Hobbit runs rings around Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher at US box office
- From: AP
- December 24, 2012
TINY hobbit Bilbo Baggins is running rings around some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey took in $US36.7 million ($3.53 million) to remain No.1 at the US box office, easily beating a rush of holiday newcomers. The Hobbit raised its US total to $US149.9 million.
Studio estimates put Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher in second-place with a modest $US15.6 million debut for the action thriller based on the Lee Child best-seller One Shot.
Opening at No.3 with $US12 million was Judd Apatow's marital comedy This Is 40, featuring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprising their roles from the director's 2007 hit Knocked Up.
Three other new wide releases, The Guilt Trip, a 3-D version of Monsters, Inc. and Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away, had weak openings.

Nasal staphylococci constitute one of the major reservoirs of staphylococci in the hospital.1-3 Certain nasal carriers disseminate organisms into the environment frequently and in large numbers. These individuals have been termed "disseminators," "dangerous carriers," or "cloud babies" by various authors.4-6
Previous studies 1,7 have shown that nasal carriers of large numbers of coagulase-positive staphylococci disseminated staphylococci into the environment more frequently than carriers of smaller numbers.
The present studies were designed to test if dissemination of nasal staphylococci from carriers of similar numbers of these organisms was dependent on the type of staphylococci carried or upon factors in the host.
Materials and Methods
Two separate groups of patients were studied. Patients with overt staphylococcal infections or patients treated with other antibiotics were excluded from either study. Carriers were defined as patients with at least two of three consecutive quantitative nasal cultures containing coagulase-positive staphylococci.Carriers were treated with either

The recent top seller on Amazon.com's "investing — mutual funds" booklist is by an industry veteran from suburban Philadelphia. Not Vanguard Group founder and best-selling author John C. Bogle; the latest edition of his Common Sense on Mutual Funds ranks just fourth.
Number One is "Jackass Investing: Don't do it, profit from it," by Michael Dever, who works from a 250-year-old gristmill in Thornton (his architect brother Tom installed the trading room, offices and creektop glass floor) near Chadds Ford.
Since publishing last year and featuring on Pimm Fox's Bloomberg TV show this past spring, Dever says he's boosted Kindle sales to 1,000 a month — "ahead of Jack Bogle's book, which gives me pleasure."

Anyone who boxed during their high school year?
I'm 16 high school sophomore; and I have a fight this Sunday but I haven't been able to go to the gym often because of studies, despite the fact my fight is near; does anyone have a similar experience that their fight was near but you could not go to the gym because of studies?

While I will get bashed for telling you about my experiences I'm still going to post my reply.
I fought all through high school. Boxing was very important to me and a few too many tiimes I put that first. It's good that you put your studies first, that will pay off in the long run. I used to study on the bus, in different classes while the teacher lectured, at lunch, skip a class here or there and jump into the library to get stuff done. I'd basically fit it in where ever I could. I should mention that I also had a job along with the school and the boxing where I'd work 20-30 hours a week. I don't recommend doing this but I also wouldn't ever recommend stepping into the ring unprepared for a bout, just too many things can happen if you're not properly prepared. You could get ktfo, a busted nose, cracked ribs, etc. You know that boxing is far from a game, it can be dangerous. I applaud you for putting your studies first but I would not recommend stepping into fight if you are not ready..........Rockin'

i boxed through most of high school, its no diffrent from anyone else. some go to school while others work, hell some do both but you still find a way to train if you really want to. nobody starts out making enough money in boxing to do nothing but train.
if you want to be a good boxer you have to make sacrifices, im not saying your education is one of them but theres always something. hanging out with friends, having girlfriends and partying is what i gave up in order to be able to put work in at the gym. school, boxing, sleep and repeat was my life then i caught up one studying on the weekends.
i skipped my own graduation to go to the gym and preparee for a fight, mom was pissed but i never regreted it. you have to ask yourself what are you willing to give up for boxing? i did and the answer was anything and everything. still is.

I started an amatuer boxing team in 1978 the boys were 11 thru 13 yrs old and I had all the weight classes except heavyweight covered in the J.O national program. As they grew older their weight classes changed and by the time they were in high school they were Open Class USA/ABF boxers.
Their report cards came to me before they got to their parents, I was a big part of the schools counciling programs and was alligned with the neighboring Youth Divisions in three different police departments.
The reason I'm telling you how I managed these young men is to show you that routines and schedules are extremely important in the organizing of a active boxers life when school comes first plus the ability to be active in state, regional and national tourny's.
School in the morning till 3pm for them back then, meet me at 4:30 for road work, then a small meal at their homes and be done by 6:00pm and in the gym by 7pm. Back home by 9pm, and this was every week day/night!
They all made sacrifices as to some social activities and some school participation also. These young people had goals and went after them very agressively, so set your goals at realistic levels and go after them with everything you have. Never fluff off your school work because school is the foundation for your desicion making for the rest of your lives. Boxing is only a part of your life, your education is forever.
If your not prepared to box why would you accept the bout? Theres never a reason to disrespect yourself by not being ready to perform at your highest ability. Never bend under pressure from others if you know your not prepared.
Pass on this show and get ready for the next one, good luck! Ray Corso

I boxed from middle school onto my H.S years. It can be done it's just like being an athlete in any other sport.
I also played 4 years of H.S football at the same time, that was real tough.

i guess im not the only one who had or is having difficult times with the equal distribution of boxing annd school. but i already cancelled a fight once, i cant really cancel this one because the gym already sent my approval of participating in the fight to my opponet, this time a cancel is a big no-no. but im not going to be participating in a fight until mid-june. my coach told me,
"do not be feared. you have a good jab, as long as you use that jab, parray his attacks, spin around him and wait for that opening, you are ok. as long as you can makeit 3 times a week its ok. just make sure you run. if it gets real bad, i'll save you. its 2 min, 3 R, just outbox hin and have fun."

During the time that observations were made on a recently reported variety of sublingual gland inflammation1 notes were kept of other affections of the salivary glands seen in children. Three cases of salivary calculus and two of chronic sialodochitis were encountered.2
In his classical work on salivary calculus, published in 1855, Thomas de Closmadeuc stated that sialolithiasis did not exist in children; its occurrence in an individual of 20 years was the youngest case recorded at that time. Since then, however, seven cases of salivary calculus in children have been reported.3 In adding those I have observed, I wish to show that sialolithiasis is not an exceedingly rare condition in children, and to depict its symptomatology in early life.
Chronic inflammation and stenosis of the salivary duct, in the form observed by me in two cases, does not appear to have been described. The affection is of

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHRC), Ant�nio Guterres, appealed on Thursday to the Thai government, saying the proceeding would endanger the protection and set grave example.
"In accordance with international law, Thailand has the responsibility and international obligation to ensure that any return of recognized refugees or other persons in needs of international protection to their country of origin is undertaken on a strictly voluntary basis," he said.
"To proceed otherwise would not only endanger the protection of the refugees but set a very grave international example."
Meanwhile the US Department said Thursday that it was deeply concerned about the fate of the Hmong, an ethnic minority that some of them battled the communist movement of Pathet Lao for years with U.S. support before the fall of Vientiane in 1975.
New York-based Human Right Watch sent a letter to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva Thursday to prevent the massive deportation of the Hmong.
Thailand has long maintained that the Lao Hmong asylum seekers in Huay Nam Khao camp are illegal migrants who may be deported to Laos.
"But under customary international law the Thai government has an obligation not to forcibly return persons to places where their life or freedom is at risk (nonrefoulement)," the letter said.
Human Rights Watch is concerned that international standards have not been met regarding screening measures to determine whether the individuals in Huay Nam Khao have legitimate protection concerns should they be returned to Laos, it noted.
Thai military from the Third Army Region was moving some 50-70 trucks and buses to transport the Hmong from Ban Huay Nam Kho in Phetchabun's Khao Koh district. A military officer who oversees the camp said the authority would remove them from the camp in a week before the end of this year.
The Hmong claimed they are close associates of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)'s secret fighters against Communist Phathet Lao during Vietnam War but left over since 1975. They fled from suppression at home.
However, Thailand and Laos regarded them as normal economic migrant who sought better lives, not asylum seekers.
In fact, the are some 47 families who really have connection with the CIA secret war and international community questioned Thai military screening process as it was conducted without transparency and participation of international community notably the UNHCR.
Another group of 158 Hmong was being detained in Nong Khai detention center pending the repatriation although many of them obtained UN protection as person of concern since 2006.

Week 14 College Football PicksDecember 2, 2010 – 8:06 pm by McD
Record after week 13: 145-63 (105-98-5 ATS)
12 pm ET
Conference USA Championship Game
Southern Methodist (7-5) at Central Florida (9-3) (-9)
I guess Central Florida is good this year? Okay, I admit it, and you may find this shocking, but I didn't follow Conference USA very closely this year. I know. Unforgivable.
Pick: UCF wins but doesn't cover
3 pm ET
Utah State (4-7) at (11) Boise State (10-1) (-39)
Sorry, Utah State. You get to have Boise State take out last week's loss on you. All they have left is destroying you and whatever opponent they have in front of them at their bowl. This might be the most depressing game of the day, though I'm sure Boise fans will give their guys a nice welcome back to the field after gagging away a BCS bowl berth.
Pick: Boise State
(17) Nevada (11-1) at Louisiana Tech (5-6) (+8.5)
Nearly an unprecedented level of letdown game for a non-AQ team. Nevada took Boise down in one of the better games of the year while still nearly choking the game away. Sure, their offense is great and, in any other week, they would roll over Louisiana Tech, but instead they're on the road against a mediocre team that is playing for its season. It doesn't get more dangerous for the somewhat vulnerable Wolfpack. Hence why Boise is giving 39 points and Nevada only 9 or so.
Pick: Nevada
3:30 pm ET
(2) Oregon (11-0) at Oregon State (5-6) (+16.5)
This Oregon State team just isn't the same as the one that almost made the Rose Bowl the last two years. They're just got good enough. I can't figure out exactly why because they're not less talented. They're just not as good. Oregon is going to roll. I'm sure it'll be tight maybe even for the whole first half, but in the end, there is no way Oregon State's offense will be able to keep up. I'd love to see a Mike Riley Game, but I'm just not confident.
Pick: Oregon
4 pm ET
Southeastern Conference Championship Game
(1) Auburn (12-0) at (19) South Carolina (9-3) (+5.5)
So Cam Newton will play in this game, but I would bet $5 that he is declared ineligible either a few days after the national title game, should Auburn win, or before their bowl, should Auburn lose. There's just no way to come out of this unscathed, so then we can pretend the NCAA didn't idiotically rule that a parent can ask for money from universities as long as the kids don't know about it.
I actually like the matchup for South Carolina here. It's also exceedingly difficult for teams to beat the same opponent twice in one season. The first game between these two was actually very tight until Auburn closed with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. I have a feeling it will be exceedingly hard for the Tigers to pull that off again.
Pick: Auburn wins but doesn't cover
7:45 pm ET
Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game
(21) Florida State (9-3) at (15) Virginia Tech (10-2) (-4)
Virginia Tech is probably the hottest team in the country that isn't named Auburn or Oregon. And while they didn't beat a murderer's row of teams to win ten straight, Florida State isn't exactly a vast improvement over those teams either. This is also a wildly successful season for Florida State, so I wouldn't be at all shocked if they came out flat and Tech won a patented close Frank Beamer game.
Pick: Virginia Tech
8 pm ET
Connecticut (7-4) at South Florida (7-4) (-2)
This game has something to do with the Big East title race, right? I hope these two teams enjoy competing for that title this year and maybe next because the minute TCU shows up, it's a race for second place. I also hear Randy Edsall is a name out there for the Indiana job, and my immediate reaction was: he already took a 1-AA program up to the 1-A level. Why would he want to do it again?
Pick: UConn
10:30 pm ET
Southern California (7-5) at UC,LA (4-7) (+6.5)
It's a season of forgiveness for Lane Kiffin. The Trojans can be disappointing and everyone will understand because of the disastrous offseason they had combined with all the injuries they've dealt with. We all get that. But he still can't lose this game. UC,LA is terrible this year, and Rick Neuheisel is going to get one more season to get it right in Westwood, but that's probably it. USC may be down, but their fans and administration definitely aren't ready to deal with being 7-6 and losing to UC,LA.
Pick: USC

Welcome (back) AJ! Best wishes for a successful go-around this time
This will be my second try at going PB. I failed miserably the first time in June 2009, but I am ready to try again with renewed enthusiasm. I plan to eat PB, try and take walks frequently, and lift heavy when i can. I find that the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method works for me. I going to try and keep it simple and try and not do too much.
I will be posting my workouts/meals a couple times a week.
Here are my starting stats.
W: 262 lbs.
Waist: about 45" across the belly.
Also my BP today was 140/101 and 133/96. I took it twice using my little BP machine.

Primal Journal *WinkBlu*
So yesterday I binged on some of my favorite bad things one last time. I had pizza, beer, peanut butter pretzels, and some peanut butter cups. So of course I feel like crap today. I am sure it will take most of the week to get the carbs out of my system.
Anyway this is what I have had so far today.
B: 1 banana, 2pieces of bacon, and 16oz of green tea.
L: leftover roast (eye of round) w/ 1 piece of bacon, carrots, and water
S: I have chicken legs in the crock pot and will have it with green beans
so the rest of the day I had.
snack: 1 slice of bacon and a plate of pistachios (probably 24 or so)
supper: 2 chicken legs, romaine lettuce, green beans, 1 slice of bacon
Everyday when i wake up i have 24oz of water and then drink water the rest of the day w/ meals. So I probably drink around 64oz of water. I think I am eating too much bacon but it is quick and it fights off hunger/fills me up. I plan to make some jerky this week. Then i can switch out the bacon with jerky for snacks. I might not be eating enough but I am trying to keep my calories under control and stay away from fruit just until I get closer to my goals.
Supplements: daily multi vitamin, vitamin d, fish oil, glucosamine w/ msm
Anyone feel free to comment on my eating/food choices. I think it will take me a while to see what works for me.
So far today i have had:
B: 3 slices of bacon, 1 banana, 16oz of green tea
G'luck, AJ! Keep yourself accountable and look to others for support if/when you feel yourself slipping or in a kind of uncertain limbo. We all hit those!

Well it has been a rough day today. I have felt hungry most of the day and have had a headache all day.
After my breakfast above i have had:
Snack: small plate of pistachios and 2 tsp of PB (i know peanut butter is not good, I plan on picking up some other nut butter next time i am out.)
Lunch: 2 chicken legs, 2 pieces of bacon, romaine lettuce
Snack: small plate of pistachios and 2 tsp of PB.
I am going to try to just have salad for dinner I know i have had a lot of calories today with the bacon, nuts, and PB.
I need to go shopping.
Sounds like the beginnings of the "carb flu," sir. Stick it out! It passes fairly quickly. It's the state of transition as your body moves from primarily glucose-burning to fat-burning.

Get some virgin coconut oil as well *if you want to try some of that I mean* .. it's good with cravings and you can take a spoon ful of that instead of Peanut Butter.. (it's yummy)
Congrats on returning to the PB lifestyle! And You shall do well this time round! I am looking forward to hearing more

taco salad w/ no chips or shell. just taco meat (ground round), some salsa, romaine lettuce, and a very little bit of cheese.
Today i have had:
B: 1 banana, 3 pieces of bacon, and 16oz of green tea.
I have not worked out yet this week. I am just trying to eat right and get through the first 2 weeks. I do walk about 12 block going to and from work but i do not consider that exercise. Especially because i sit all day at work.
I am definitely going to pick up some coconut oil when i go to the store. I hope i can find the stuff. Otherwise i will need to order some coconut oil, coconut flour, almond meal, coconut\almond milk from somewhere.

Hot-wiring the Transient Universe:
A Joint VOEvent & HTN Workshop
|Home > Participants > Travel > Proceedings > Agenda > Organizing Committee > Links > Photos > About VOEvent > About HTN
The Heterogeneous Telescope Networks Consortium and
The IVOA VOEvent Working Group announce
A joint workshop, the third of each series, to be held:
on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson
Monday June 4, 2007, through Thursday June 7
The astronomical time domain ranges from solar physics and solar system objects to objects and processes at galactic and cosmological distances. Transients arrive via electromagnetic radiation, gravitational waves, neutrinos and other particles. Discoveries are made via spacecraft and by ground-based surveys, through automatic pipelines and the Virtual Observatory, with robotic telescopes and by the human eye. Meeting the challenges of time domain and transient astronomy demands a new logistical framework for carrying out the practice of astronomy.
A strong interdisciplinary agenda will cover technology, methods and experimental design for the detection and rapid follow-up observations of celestial transients, as well as data fusion to create knowledge about the underlying astronomical phenomena. Refereed proceedings will be published as an issue of Astronomische Nachrichten.

LAS VEGAS – The NBA uses the preseason to spread its brand internationally with teams playing in South America, Asia and Europe this fall.
The Kings' opponent Thursday night, the Los Angeles Lakers, will play two games in China next week.
And it's only natural to wonder when the Kings might play in India, considering principal owner Vivek Ranadive has stated he wants to make center DeMarcus Cousins a superstar in India, Ranadive's birthplace.
Coach Michael Malone would not be surprised to see the Kings play in India in the coming years.
"(Ranadive has) said many, many times he wants to be a global brand," Malone said. "With his background in India, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Sacramento Kings playing a game there in the foreseeable future. It's an untapped market."
Grinning Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni sounded sarcastic when talking about the bonding the Lakers could do on a long trip, adding he'd "rather bond at home."
But as a veteran of multiple overseas trips, D'Antoni said the trips are no problem.
"We owe a lot to the NBA, and they've given us a pretty good living, so we have to do this trip," D'Antoni said. "Wow, I think it's OK."
Injury update – Guard Greivis Vasquez (ankle) and forward Carl Landry (strained quadriceps) did not play Thursday against the Lakers at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Malone said he hopes to get Vasquez on the court in one of the Kings' next two games. The Kings host the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday and the Phoenix Suns next Thursday.
The Kings continue to take a cautious approach with Vasquez, who had surgery in the offseason.
"If you were in our practices, you wouldn't even think anything is wrong with Greivis," Malone said. "He's like the caged lion that you have to hold back to protect him from himself because he has a big heart and he wants to play."
Landry's return is still uncertain. He did not make the trip to Las Vegas, and Malone said it was still being determined how much time Landry might miss.
Luc Mbah a Moute (ankle) also did not play Thursday.
Et cetera – Landry's brother Marcus is playing for the Lakers this preseason. Marcus was in training camp with the Kings in 2010.
The annual preseason game against the Lakers is usually played at Thomas & Mack Center on UNLV's campus. The Lakers made the MGM Grand Casino home this year. They hosted a charity event at the casino Wednesday night.

These days, preparing for retirement doesn't just mean stabilizing your finances, preparing your estate, or securing affordable health insurance. For many, planning for retirement means making in-home renovations for a more accommodating lifestyle.
As a recent article in Bloomberg highlights, assisted living costs are on the rise. Consequently, many individuals nearing retirement are opting to renovate their homes to avoid increased assisted-care costs. If you are heading towards retirement, it is vital to your financial health and the stability of your estate that you consider "Remodeling as Retirement Planning." Substantially remodeling your home to further accommodate an aging body may cost a pretty-penny up front, but it may pale in comparison to the yearly cost of a nursing home.
According to a MetLife Mature Market Institute study, the US National Average for yearly nursing home costs is just over $75,000. Accordingly, a relatively simple $10,000 renovation to your home might provide you with extra years of independent living, and save you thousands in assisted living costs along the way.
Even though many renovations come with a lofty price tag, some can be as simple as removing area rugs to reduce the risk of tripping. If you're interested in renovating your home, consider consulting this recent Bloomberg article for a few retirement-friendly renovation tips and tricks.

Trojan Hoard
The current best seller in Greece is a 1,240-page volume published by order of the new premier as part of a campaign to "purify" public life by exposing private figures: the tax returns of all citizens whose annual incomes are above $5,000. Aristotle Onassis eluded listing because he's officially an Argentine, as did his arch-rival Stavros Niarchos, whose assets have been parceled off to a confusion of international holding companies. So that left as the most golden Greek of them all a virtually unknown $2 million-a-year fleet owner named Nikolas Vardinoyannis, who died just after the revealing book of numbers went to press.
Orpheus Ascending
"I was completely bypassed by the '60s," Tennessee Williams, 63, mused sadly to a friend last summer. But the '70s could be kinder. A new London revival of his A Streetcar Named Desire starring Claire Bloom has won universally admiring reviews, and in Hollywood Jon Voight is seeking to do the first film adaptation of Camino Real, his drama about Lord Byron. Lastly, Williams reports that his own long-awaited autobiography, tentatively titled Flee, Flee This Sad Hotel (a line from a poem by Anne Sexton), has finally "poured out of me. I've told the entire, absolute truth," he says. "Life is a terrifying experience, but oblivion is sadder."
Queen for a Night
It's well known that the public appearances of the British royal family are studied and not inadvertent. Thus at last week's annual command-performance gala, the cynosure of all ogling and gossip was neither the stars of the chosen film The Three Musketeers, Michael York and Raquel Welch (who chomped gum throughout), but rather the chosen guest in the royal box. It was Lady Jane Wellesley, and her protocol-bending presence strengthened talk that she is the chosen consort of Prince Charles, who is himself now at sea.
Why's She Doing It?
There's a bit of Mitzi Gaynor in every actress, or so they all kid themselves. Latest to commission a custom cabaret act is Dyan Cannon, who, despite its $100,000 cost, wound up doing a half-Gaynor landing on her face. At the world's premiere in San Francisco, Dyan teetered distractingly between images of sultry sex siren and lullabying mother of her daughter Jennifer (by ex-husband Cary Grant). "I write lots of lyrics and lots of music," she explains to the audience, "and lots of people don't want to do my music and lyrics. That's why I'm doing this." Whereupon, as the Variety reviewer reported, "She heads for the piano to prove why nobody wants to do her music and lyrics."
Shaggy Wolf Story
Actress Faye Dunaway, a liberated spirit ("Marriage is a hindrance to love") who has previously adorned the arms of old razor-cut smoothies Marcello Mastroianni and Warren Beatty, has now taken up with a shaggier dude: Peter Wolf, lead singer of the blues-rocking Boston-based J. Geils Band. Between the Geils's gigs and Faye's films, they have been shuttling between her Manhattan digs, his cluttered Harvard Square pad and a Caribbean hideway.
Propagation of the Faith
Four ruling Islamic sovereigns have just bankrolled to the tune of $8 million a film entitled Mohammed—The Messenger of God. They are the King of Morocco, Colonel Gaddafi of Libya and the Sheiks of Kuwait and Bahrain. The huge bilingual production due to go before the cameras in Marrakesh later this month has the largest single set since the Taylor-Burton Cleopatra. There are two completely separate casts—it's impossible to dub Arabic—with Anthony Quinn and Irene Pappas heading the English-speaking troupe. Mohammed, due to Islamic law, never appears on screen, so Quinn stars as Hanza, the prophet's uncle. Though of Chicano origin, Quinn won the role because he is still revered in the Moslem world for his appearance in Lawrence of Arabia as the great warrior, Sheik Anda abu Tayi.
Remember the Mame
Spunky Rosalind Russell, 63—who introduced Auntie Mame to Broadway in 1956 and then played her in the 1958 film—offered a thought or two on the current movie-musical revival. "Mame was ageless, outspoken and chic," she said. "She was the original women's libber who never forgot she was a woman." Still, if Roz were casting the current version, she concluded, she would not have chosen her contemporary, Lucille Bal!. "I would have picked Cher...more pizzazz!"

A Frankfort man whose jon boat got stranded below Lock 5 on the Kentucky River this afternoon was charged with boating while intoxicated, according to police.
The man is identified as Robert Callahan. Police sources said Callahan was cited for boating while intoxicated about a year ago and had has numerous DUIs during the past two years while driving vehicles.
Reports indicate that Callahan's boat ran out of gas and went over the lock, stranding him on rocks.
A Lawrenceburg man faces DUI charges after the vehicle he was driving collided with an Anderson County school bus this afternoon, sending two elementary students to an area hospital.
The students complained of head and neck pain and were transported for precautionary reasons, first responders said.
The man, identified by police as Billy Cecil of 1141 Versailles Road, Lot 25, was allegedly more than three times the legal limit when the bus backed into his vehicle at the corner of Canterbury Street and Dickens Drive.
From staff reports
Four people are behind bars after being charged during the past week with possession of a controlled substance, including three charged with possessing heroin or methamphetamine.
Ashley Mitchell, 25, of 100 Robbie Drive, Lawrenceburg was charged with first-degree heroin possession and other charges when the vehicle she was driving was stopped Aug. 2 on Grant Drive.
In his citation, officer Clay Crouch of the Lawrenceburg Police Department said he pulled her over because a passenger in the car was not was not wearing a seat belt.
A Lawrenceburg woman remains behind bars after telling police that a "three-way went bad" July 31 at a residence on Lakeview Drive.
Courtney D. Chesser, 23, of 1072 Butler Drive, is charged with fourth-degree assault, second-degree disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication in a public place following the incident early that morning, according to a police report filed in Anderson Circuit Court.
The overall value of city of Lawrenceburg dipped for the sixth consecutive year while outside of the city, the county's overall value showed a healthy increase.
Lawrenceburg's value fell from last year's assessment of $530,167,902 to 529,886,650, roughly a $1.2 million decline.
Since 2010, the city's overall assessment has dipped nearly $13 million, and it is anticipated that the declines will continue in years to come.
City Administrator Robbie Hume there are several overall factors for the overall decline.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If the definition of a great country song is "three chords and the truth," David Wayne Johnson might have found his niche.
The Anderson County native has toiled for 10 years trying to make it in the country music business, playing between 250 and 300 shows a year in bars and clubs across the country. All the while, he's been searching for that right combination of Hall of Famer Harlan Howard's description of what makes Music City magic.
He keeps things simple with three chords and the truth.
Talks between residents of Highway 151 and the state's Transportation Cabinet have broken off, likely sending to trial the group's demand to ban commercial trucks on the treacherous state highway, according to one of the group's spokesmen.
The 151 Group, led by residents Tom Isaac and Don McCormick, filed a lawsuit earlier this year to permanently ban commercial vehicles other than local delivery after decades of wrecks they say were caused by unsafe conditions on the road that serves as a shortcut between U.S. 127 and I-64.
Amy Kate Smith ran away with most of the scholarships and the title of 2017 Distinguished Young Woman of Anderson County Saturday night at the Anderson County High School auditorium.
"This is something I dreamed about since I was a little girl," she said, moments after 2016 Distinguished Young Woman Brooklyn Carpenter placed the medallion over her head. "My mom is a past winner and this is something I've always wanted to do."
Undaunted by its continuously shrinking property tax base (see related story, A1), the Lawrenceburg City Council on Monday unanimously approved keeping its property and other tax rates flat for the coming year.
The rate remains at $1.95 per $1,000 in assessed value, meaning a home assessed at $100,000 will pay $195 in city property taxes.
The council also unanimously approved a resolution to borrow just under $2 million to upgrade the sewer system in Alton with the expectation that half of that cost would be borne through a Community Block Development Grant.
The Anderson County Fiscal Court on Tuesday voted to hold its property tax rate flat for the coming year.
The decision keeps the rate property owners pay at $1.30 for every $1,000 of assessed value, meaning the county's portion of a tax bill on a home assessed at $100,000 would be $130.
The rate was suggested by Judge-Executive Orbrey Gritton, who said the budget that just went into effect was built on keeping the tax rate the same.

Update to Electric Cars on Maui
May 11, 2014 - Ray Tsuchiyama
See: Maui News "Turning Over A New Leaf" November 2011
Note 1: The largest consumer of gasoline in the world is the United States (population: 318 milion), which used an average of 368 million U.S. gallons (1.46 gigalitres) each day in 2011. Do we have the right to do this, forever and ever?
Note 2: China and India have populations of 1.3 and 1.2 billion people, respectively. If a family in New Delhi or Beijing have the money to buy a car, who is to stop them from buying gasoline and driving 1 mile to buy a pizza and toilet paper, like we do, going to Long's on Sunday for a $3 purchase?
Spring 2014. About two-plus years ago I wrote about my experience driving a Nissan Leaf in Honolulu. There were approximately 150 Electric Cars on Maui back then, and now, with the Chevy Volts, Nissan Leafs, Tesla sports cars (any car with an electric plug-in qualifies, even with a small gasoline engine) there are more than 450 EV's roaming Maui, so a remarkable EV population doubling in two-plus years.
This spring gasoline costs have not doubled to $7 – 8 per gallon (as the "norm" in many European countries and Japan), and before the big American summer "driving" season, it's about $4.35 - $4.40 per gallon* on Maui, about 15 – 20 cents lower in Honolulu. I bought gasoline for $7 a gallon in Tokyo. Many countries subsidize gasoline and others "tax" gasoline – India is at nearly $5 a gallon and China at slightly over $4.00. The European Union "average" price per gallon is $7.80.
And we see many more EV chargers, from Kihei Foodland to the Maui County Wailuku Fast Charger to other sites.
People are interested in EVs more, less anxious about "range anxiety".
Yet, Maui has 110 – 120,000 gasoline-powered cars (included are 3+ cars many families own, plus the various car rental firms and State/County government cars, and throw in trucks and specialized huge vehicles for agriculture). Percentage-wise, for EV's running around Maui, that's a lot less than 1 per cent.
In December 2013 there were about 400,000 plug-in EV vehicles world-wide, so that's only four Maui car populations. That figure was up from 180,000 vehicles in 2012, so the world market penetration doubled, like Maui.
As of April 2014, the United States has the largest number of plug-in EV's in the world, with over 203,000 EVs sold since 2008.
Ranking second is Japan, with over 74,000 EV's sold between July 2009 and December 2013. (Japan has no oil, and like a bigger island compared to Maui, has to import all gasoline, all food, all iron ore.)
In March 2014 Norway made news by becoming the first country in the world where over one in every 100 registered passenger cars is a plug-in EV. BTW, the Norway gas price is at $9.90 a gallon – even with Norwegian oil sales. Norway saw the "end of oil" from its own national reserves and banked $860 billion in cash, or $170,000 per Norwegian man, woman and child. But, Norway has few other industries/business than oil, and Norwegians are being prepared for challenging economic times – hence, the push for EVs and using less gasoline.
In short, Norway (with 5.1 million population or five Hawai'i's) is frantically enforcing an EV future, so when gasoline is even at $15 a gallon, EVs will be the majority of family cars in the country.
Norway is now the country with the highest market penetration per capita in the world, four EV's per 1,000 people in 2013, and also the country with the largest plug-in EV market share of new car sales, 5.6% of new car sales in 2013.
During the first quarter of 2014 Norwegian EV car sales reached a record 14.5% market share of new car sales – this is unbelievable, as if on Maui nearly 15 cars out of every 100 new cars sold would be an EV.
Ranking second is the Netherlands, with a market share of 5.34% in 2013.
Estonia, which has the second largest EV market penetration per capita after Norway, is the first country that completed the deployment of an EV charging network with nationwide coverage, with fast chargers available along highways at a minimum distance of between 25 to 37 miles (25 miles is half the distance between Kahului Airport and Hana). Estonia's gas price is slightly lower, at $6.80 per gallon.
Turkey is at more than $10 a gallon, and it must be a pain to drive a car.
Vietnam is another country where there is no subsidy, even when Vietnamese citizens annual income was $140 per person in 1992 – and in 2013, the figure is $1,960 – imagine if you owned a car and you had to pay $35 for a fill-up. So, it is no surprise Vietnam has far more motor scooters and motorcycles than cars in the streets. But, just like India and China, Vietnam's economy will grow, and more cars will be racing up and down the highways.
India and China are great "wild cards", since if affluence comes faster, families will buy cars and start going to malls to buy things, rather than the neighborhood store, like Maui.
But we can't demand India or China to not buy cars when we merrily use 368 million gallons of gasoline a day in the U.S. Everybody in the developing world say "we want the same as you", and "don't be hypocritical about our aspirations".
On the other hand, Maui could "see" the future and become like Norway, a fast-growing global EV center, and not suddenly be surprised by $15 a gallon gasoline.
*All "gallons" in this blog post are U.S. gallons, different from Imperial gallons, which are larger in liquid volume. Most countries price gasoline at the gas station pump by the Liter (about 3.75 Liters in a Gallon). The Venezuelan government distributes gasoline to gas stations for free. Venezuela has a government subsidy and citizens buy gas at SIX cents a gallon. A Ford F-150 XLT V-8 SUV with 36 gallon tank fill-up will cost Two Dollars and Sixteen Cents. In Nigeria, the government raised gas prices from $1.70 per gallon to $3.50 and many factions in Nigeria united to lobby against the price rise, and the President gave in, dropping the price to $2.27 a gallon to end a general strike. The price still is heavily subsidized.

The power of ManeFrame: SMU's new supercomputer boosts research capacity
SMU now has a powerful new tool for research – one of the fastest academic supercomputers in the nation – and a new facility to house it.
With a cluster of more than 1,000 Dell servers, the system's capacity is on par with high-performance computing (HPC) power at much larger universities and at government-owned laboratories. The U.S. Department of Defense awarded the system to SMU in August 2013. Continue reading
New mathematical model aids simulations of early universe
Scientists have made many discoveries about the origins of our 13.7 billion-year-old universe. But many scientific mysteries remain. What exactly happened during the Big Bang, when rapidly evolving physical processes set the stage for gases to form stars, planets and galaxies?
Now astrophysicists using supercomputers to simulate the Big Bang have a new mathematical tool to unravel those mysteries, says Daniel Reynolds, assistant professor of mathematics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
