Police said they're investigating the discovery of a body in a pond near Kansas City International Airport.
Police Chief Darryl Forte said the body was discovered on Monday afternoon in a pond near the entrance to the airport off Cookingham Drive. Someone from airport security was doing a routine check in the pond and made the discovery.
Police said the body had not been in the water for long, most likely less than a day. They have not said whether the body is that of a man or a woman.
Investigators had the body removed and planned to drain whatever water is left in the pond, but they gave up on the draining attempt.
The area gets little traffic aside from people coming to or leaving KCI. Police said they would work with airport investigators to see if there are any travelers who should have arrived or departed from the airport and are unaccounted for.

UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre knows that his opponent, interim champ Carlos Condit, will be a dangerous challenger when they face off at Saturday's UFC 154 in Montreal.
"The Natural Born Killer" earned his moniker while amassing 26 finishes—13 by way of knockout and 13 by way of submission—out of his 28 career victories, an impressive display of his dangerous skill set that the St-Pierre camp will definitely need to be in tip-top shape for. Owning wins over some of the welterweight division's top fighters, Condit will look to spoil St-Pierre's return to the Octagon, unless the champ can systematically pick him apart.
While we won't know exactly what St-Pierre and his team will have in store for Condit until the cage doors close on Nov. 17, here are five keys to victory that the Canadian will likely need to keep in mind in order to reclaim the undisputed welterweight belt.

Frank's Garden Vegetable and Stuffed Zucchini Flower Salad
Yield: 6 servings
- 2 oranges
- 1 pound mixed summer greens
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into large dice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium zucchini, shaved lengthwise with a vegetable peeler
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk Vinaigrette
- Stuffed Zucchini Flowers
Cut 1/2 inch off the top and bottom of oranges; then, slicing from cut end to cut end, carefully remove the outer white pith. Using a knife, carefully remove each individual segment, leaving no pith or membrane attached.
In a large bowl, combine oranges, greens, cucumber, tomatoes, zucchini, and Buttermilk Vinaigrette, tossing well to coat ingredients. Arrange mixture on a large serving platter (or divide among six serving plates). Place Stuffed Zucchini Flowers on top of greens. Serve immediately.
Buttermilk Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 clove garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 6 lemon verbena leaves, minced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
InstructionsIn a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients except oils. In a slow, steady stream, pour in olive oil while whisking. Repeat with canola oil. Season with salt and pepper. Makes about 2 cups.
Stuffed Zucchini Flowers
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 'Red Bottleneck' onions or 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
- 5 basil leaves, finely chopped
- 12 zucchini flowers
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups unseasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. When butter begins to foam, add onions and sweat 2 minutes. Add zucchini and garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and pepper, and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, mix in 3 tablespoons bread crumbs, cheese, balsamic vinegar, anchovy paste (if desired), and basil. Gently spoon mixture into each zucchini flower.
In a small, shallow bowl, whisk together egg and cream. Place 3 cups bread crumbs in a second shallow bowl. Dip each stuffed flower into the egg-cream mixture, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl, then roll in bread crumbs, coating well. In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Pan-fry flowers on all sides until lightly browned. Remove to paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately. Yield: 12 pieces

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month
National Library Card Sign-up Month has been observed since 1987. It is the time when the American Library Association and Libraries around the country remind everyone that a library card is the most important card of all. From young to old, everyone can enjoy the resources of the public library. A library card provides access to not only books but movies, music, computers and a variety of electronic databases. You can also access several Library services from home using the Library's website.
The Smithtown Library is celebrating with a new cardholders' raffle. All residents who do not have a card are encouraged to sign up for a library card at any branch of the Library. Getting a library card is fast, easy and free. Adults must bring one item with their name and proof of their current address, such as a driver's license or utility bill. Parents will need to sign the registration form on behalf of children 6th grade and younger.All new cardholders in September will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a $25 credit to use towards printing from our 3D printers.
There will be one winner per Library branch. Winners will be drawn from raffle entries on October 1, 2016.
For more information, see the Circulation Desk at any of our branches.

Objective: Attitudes have a potential role to play in the experience of menopause. The objective of this study was to examine the degree to which attitudes toward menopause and aging vary across ethnic groups and menopausal status (ie, premenopausal through postmenopausal).
Methods: More than 16,000 women were interviewed by telephone as part of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation. They represented five ethnic/racial groups (African American, white, Chinese American, Japanese American, and Hispanic) from seven geographical sites (Boston, MA; Pittsburgh, PA; Chicago, IL; Michigan; New Jersey; and northern and southern California).
Results: African American women were significantly more positive in attitude. The least positive groups were the less acculturated Chinese American and Japanese American women. Menopausal status was not a consistent predictor of attitude across ethnic groups.
Conclusions: In general, women's attitudes toward menopause range from neutral to positive. Ethnic groups within the United States vary slightly, but reliably, in their attitudes toward menopause and aging. Factors other than those directly associated with menopausal status seem to play a role in attitude.

This is tough. I am here to admit my team has a problem, and by default I have a problem. Over many years I have supported a team that has never promised me anything and I was happy with that. I felt like I was ironically supporting a team with no hope of success.
Then came our new General Manager Rick Smith. A fantastic player evaluator who built through the draft and sound free agency signings. He brought in fantastic athletes such as Arian Foster, Jonathan Joseph and JJ Watt and propelled them to the forefront of the organisation, providing fans with a reason to believe in a brighter future. This was my mistake.
I supported the Texans like a hipster. I was into the Texans before they were cool and rather than moving onto the next cool hip thing, like the Browns or Jaguars, I realised that I now loved this team. It was like every teen romance every made. Boy meets team and only likes it as a friend. Then falls hopelessly in love with them when they realise their true beauty.
The ending to this story is particular story is slightly different. In this story the boy then gets kicked repeatedly in the scrotal area by a team that won the first half of the season by a mile, only to lose their collective minds, arms and kicking legs. Hell, they even prolonged the agony by winning two back-to-back games in overtime to two of the worst teams in the league - The Detroit Lions and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
They teased me with their power and then allowed Matt Schaub to loftily, and without much power, throw it all away.
Last night's loss to the Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round is endemic of the issues that face me as a lovelorn fan. We are so good - except Matt Schaub. I contemplated that we should get Alex Smith this morning and that is why I need help. Help me.
I miss the utterly predictability of David Carr and Dominik Williams. At least I knew where I stood with those guys. They treated me like crap but they never teased me, not once.

Legislative Alert
Legislative Alert: Senate Appropriations Committee Approves C-J-S Appropriations Bill
By Jennifer Boyter, IACP Legislative Analyst
n June 23, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved the fiscal 2006 Commerce-Justice-State appropriations bill, which funds several key state and local law enforcement assistance programs. The House approved its version (H.R. 2862) on June 16.
The bill would provide $625 million for the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program (the recently created combination of the Byrne Grant program and the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant program). This is a slight decrease from fiscal year 2005, in which the program received $634 million. It is also a significant increase over the House version of the bill, which would provide just $370 million. President Bush had proposed eliminating this program altogether.
The bill also includes $515 million for the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program. This is a slight decrease from the fiscal year 2005 level of $606 million and from the House level of $554 million but a significant increase from the president's budget, which proposed just $118 for the program. The COPS funding includes only $2 million for the COPS hiring program.
The bill includes $20 million for tribal law enforcement; $60 million to combat methamphetamine production and distribution, to target drug hot spots, and to remove and dispose of hazardous materials at clandestine methamphetamine labs; $137 million for the law enforcement technologies and interoperable communications program; $27 million for bulletproof vests; $20 million for criminal records upgrades; $141 million for DNA programs; $5 million for programs aimed at preventing violence in public schools; and $3 million for the law enforcement costs related to establishing offender reentry programs.
The bill also includes $200 million for the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), which assists state and local governments with the costs of jailing illegal immigrants who have committed crimes not related to their immigration status. The president's proposed budget eliminated this program.
Proposed funding for grants under the Violence Against Women programs decreases slightly from $387 million to $363 million. The bill would also provide $350 million for juvenile delinquency prevention and accountability programs, down from $379 million in fiscal year 2005.
In addition, the bill would provide $6 million to continue the development of the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan.
In addition, the bill provides increased funding for many federal law enforcement agencies. This includes $5.3 billion for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a 3 percent increase over fiscal year 2005. However, this is 7 percent less than the House version, and 9 percent less than requested by the president.
The bill would also include $1.65 billion for the Drug Enforcement Administration; $776 million for the U.S. Marshals Service; and $924 million for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
The bill would not move the High Density Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy to the Justice Department, as recommended by the president.
The bill now moves to the Senate floor for consideration.
Transportation Reauthorization Bill StalledTwo and a half years after the last reauthorization expired, a massive surface transportation reauthorization bill (HR 3) remains stalled in a House-Senate conference committee, as the two bodies appear unable to agree to a final funding level, among other issues.
The House version of the bill would authorize $284 billion for highways, bridges, road improvements, transit, and safety programs through 2009. This is the funding level that the White House and House Republican leaders have set as the maximum acceptable level of funding. President Bush has threatened to veto any bill above that limit. However, Senators voted overwhelmingly to add $11 billion to the bill, bringing the total to $295 billion.
Negotiators are said to be considering a compromise that would provide $286.5 billion, slightly over the level proposed by the House.
The fate of several Senate-backed highway safety provisions is still unclear. This includes a program that would offer states grants as incentives to pass primary seat belt laws that authorize police to pull over drivers not wearing seat belts.
The last full six-year reauthorization of transportation programs expired in September 2003. Since then, Congress has passed a series of short-term extensions.
Last week, running out of time before the current extension expired on June 30, both the House and Senate passed an extension of highway and transit programs through July 19, in order to give Congress more time to negotiate the conference report.
Judiciary Subcommittee Approves Courthouse Violence BillOn June 30, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security approved a bill (H.R. 1751) aimed at preventing courthouse violence. The bill would increase penalties for assaulting, kidnapping, or murdering judges or their family members, or jurors, witnesses, victims, or informants. It would also prohibit the possession of a dangerous weapon in federal courthouses.
In addition, the bill would make it a federal crime to kill state public safety officials whose offices receive federal funds, including prosecutors and courthouse personnel. It would also protect federal judges and attorneys from the filing of false and fictitious liens, and create a new federal crime to prohibit the public distribution of certain federal officials' personal information over the Internet.
The bill would also authorize $20 million per year for fiscal year 2006 through 2010 for a new federal grant program to fund witness protection programs by states, local governments, and tribes. It now moves to the full Judiciary Committee for consideration. ■

The well-stocked first-aid kit
You're meticulous about monitoring the expiration dates on milk cartons. You carefully check sell-by dates before putting meat in your shopping cart. And you take a moment to scan cans, bottles and jars for their "best before" dates.
But have you ever checked the expiration dates on the contents of your first-aid kit? Do you even have a first-aid kit?
Just face it: It's time for a medicine cabinet makeover.
If you're like the rest of us, you are probably missing items that you or your loved ones will need in case of an injury that falls short of requiring a visit to the emergency room.
And, like the rest of us, your bathroom cabinets are likely filled with items that have outlived their "use by" dates, potentially making them less potent or perhaps even dangerous.
While a recent study by the California Poison Control System suggested that many drugs past their expiration date are still effective, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not mince words on its website: "Once the expiration date has passed, there is no guarantee that an expired medicine will be safe and effective. If your medicine has expired, do not use it."
Now, there's no need to panic, of course.
But consider this your nudge to take stock of your family's medicine cabinet and see what might need replacing. Make a list, keep your eyes peeled for coupons and sales on the items your family is most likely to need. You could also take the easy way out and just buy a trauma kit (they are often better stocked than a routine first-aid kit), and then buy a few more items to round out your supplies.
Need any more incentive?
Think about how much better equipped you'll feel about treating your sick spouse or kiddo with all the necessary items well organized, easily within reach and safely within their expiration dates.
Here are the items a well-stocked medicine cabinet should contain, plus a few items you'll be happy you have on hand.
- Bandages and gauze in a variety of shapes and sizes. (If you have kids, Mickey Mouse or Hello Kitty bandages can't hurt.)
- Anti-bacterial spray and/or ointment.
- Hydrocortisone cream, to relieve itching.
- Tweezers and scissors. It's worth springing for precision tools (something you already know if you've ever tried to remove a splinter from a squirming toddler).
- An instant-read thermometer. Shop around, read reviews and consider what might work best for your family. A thermometer with an ear scan feature, for example, might be helpful when you want to take a temperature without waking up a sick child who has finally fallen asleep.
- Cough drops and cough syrup
- An over-the-counter medication for allergies.
- Cold reliever and sleep enhancer such as NyQuil, or a generic-brand equivalent.
- Rubbing alcohol. Believe it or not, this can expire too. That means it will lose its effectiveness over time.
- Cold pack. In a pinch, a bag of frozen peas will do. But it's helpful to have something a bit more durable. Keep this in the freezer, of course, so it's ready to go.
- Heating pad. Probably not standard fare for an emergency kit, but it might be soothing for an aching back or flu-induced chills.
- A first-aid guide or pamphlet. You can find these online or perhaps at your doctor's office. And, in a pinch, you can always look something up online. But it's nice to have a primer at your fingertips when you're trying to remember the best way to treat a burn or sprained ankle, or what R.I.C.E. stands for. (That would be rest, ice, compression, elevation -- the course of treatment for minor soft-tissue injuries.)
- A laminated list of phone numbers and addresses and perhaps even a map including directions to your doctor and the nearest emergency room. (Also consider adding the same information for your veterinarian and a 24-hour emergency vet -- helpful in case someone is housesitting for a pet and is not familiar with the area.)
- Eyewash, for soothing an eye that has become irritated after an afternoon cleaning out the garage.
- Gloves, eye protection and a mouth guard.

Easter, a family celebration of life
Easter is an important event on the religious and Western calendar. After Christmas, it's the tradition that most people in the world celebrate. It is a time for religious commemorations as well as a celebration rooted in cultural traditions, but regardless of its meaning, the backdrop is families reuniting.
Families use the occasion to get together to share their customs or pass their religious beliefs on to younger generations. The celebrations happen around nice and colorful symbols that engage children; they enjoy the occasion with chocolate bunnies and eggs.
In times like these you can make the most of MyHeritage, and here's how:
* Easily contact your whole family to send your best wishes.
* Create and invite people to an Easter event.
* Share your traditional Easter family recipes.
* Upload the photos or videos from your family Easter event and share them.
* Keep this content as a record, telling your family history in the years to come.
It can be hard work finding the long lost relatives of your past, but it's really easy to save and treasure every present moment of your family for the generations to come. This Easter is a great time to start doing it.
But what is it about all those bunnies and eggs?
All the religious and cultural celebrations related to Easter have the same concept: rebirth.
Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and Jews have the festival of Passover (Pesach), which marks the time when God rescued the people of Israel from slavery and Moses led them out of Egypt. These two events revolve around the idea of rebirth: Jesus is resurrected, or born again, and the slaves are reborn into freedom.
But the modern celebration of Easter also includes symbols from cultural traditions held for many centuries up to the present, the ones that have to do with bunnies and eggs, which are symbols of fertility and birth.
The earliest humans noticed the link between the cycles of women that were linked with the birth of children and the cycles of the moon. For ancient civilizations in Asia, the hare was the symbol of the moon. So it followed that the moon and the rabbit both became the symbol of rebirth or life after death.
Later, the Celts and other early European groups celebrated the festival of Eostre, a goddess of the dawn associated with springtime. This goddess' symbol was the rabbit, the most fertile animal and a symbol of new life. During the Middle Ages, the rabbit also became associated with chicken eggs, since both were symbols of fertility and rebirth in the spring.
The Easter Bunny as a holiday symbol delivering candy and eggs is thought to have started around the 1600s in Germany, where the first edible Easter pastry bunnies appeared.
The celebrations as we know them today are that, although some differences exist among some countries, the Easter Bunny brings baskets filled with colored eggs, candy and toys to the children on the night before Easter. The Easter Bunny will either put the baskets in a designated place or hide them somewhere in the house for the children to find when they wake up in the morning.
So no matter if it has a root in religious belief or in continuing the symbolic and colorful springtime tradition, Easter is a time to celebrate life, and that is a fantastic reason to bring families together.

Frederic C. Hamilton, Chairman Emeritus, Denver Art Museum Board of Trustees
Frederic C. Hamilton actively serves as Chairman Emeritus of the Denver Art Museum (DAM) Board of Trustees. His passion for the arts and his astute business acumen has been an asset to the museum since he joined the Board in 1977. Hamilton served as the DAM's Vice Chairman beginning in 1984, became Chairman of the Board of Trustees in 1994 and acted as Co-Chairman with J. Landis (Lanny) Martin from July 2011 to January 2013. Throughout his tenure, he has guided the museum through major milestones, most notably the planning, financing and construction of the Daniel Libeskind-designed Frederic C. Hamilton Building, which opened in October 2006. Hamilton led two major endowment campaigns for the DAM during his tenure, growing those assets to more than $100 million. He also helped lead the fundraising effort to complete the $110 million expansion project. In recognition of his long-time support, the museum named its 146,000-square-foot expansion the Frederic C. Hamilton Building.
A pioneer in America's oil industry, Hamilton founded Hamilton Oil Corporation in the late 1960s, built it into an international oil company and also formed a domestic gas company, both of which he merged into a major integrated oil company in the mid-1980s. He is now Chairman of Hamilton Companies, which is active in venture capital, private equity, oil and gas, real estate, mortgage lending, securities and acquisitions operations. He is on the National Petroleum Council and a Director of the American Petroleum Institute. In addition to his commitment to the DAM, Hamilton serves as a director of the Boy Scouts of America and Denver-based Graland Country Day School and leads the endowment for the Boys and Girls Club of Denver. In 2014, Americans for the Arts selected Hamilton as its BCA 10 Leadership Award recipient and the National Western named him Citizen of the West. He continues to expand his personal art collection, which focuses primarily on impressionist masterpieces.
Dr. Christoph Heinrich, Frederick and Jan Mayer Director of the Denver Art Museum
Dr. Christoph Heinrich, the Frederick and Jan Mayer Director, came to the DAM in 2007 as curator of modern and contemporary art. Heinrich was selected as director in October 2009 and assumed the position on January 1, 2010.

I used to have a PS2 (before i sold it about a week ago) and there was only one lot of games that i loved... being the Metal Gear Solid series... And with Snake being brought to Brawl, do you think MGS could follow behind?
Also would you like to see the series on there too? Explain your reasons..
hmm.. i wouldnt mind i like MGS, but i dont think it will be brought to the wii, unless nintendo buys it.
Well to be able to use Snake in SSBB must mean they've bought some rights to him? So maybe if/when people buy SSBB and see Snake as a good character.. Nintendo might think... right lets bring more Snake to our system... thats what i recon/hope anyway
I doubt it will for a while at least it has that feeling of a PS3 and PC only game about it plus I don't know how they'd incorperate the wii control with MGS or maybe they'll use the classic controller who knows lol I'd love to see it but so far only the first ones been on a nintendo console (twin snakes) MGS did start on nintendos older consoles maybe its time for MGS to return to nintendo systems
Well we can hope
i wouldnt care, but it would certainly be a kick to the stomach for ps3 fanboys
Lol that would be another plus-side
Second Bump...
i never thought the MGS series was too exciting.stealth games arent my favorite so i wouldnt care if it came to the Wii. it would bring more gamers to Nintendo from Sony though
When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much screwed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Collectors are getting nostalgic as Strom Thurmond, the oldest and longest-serving U.S. senator, prepares to retire in January.
A bazaar of Thurmond-mania is on sale on the Internet - from calendars to matchbooks to postcards - all bearing Thurmond's likeness or signature. The senator's Washington office is reporting a steep increase in requests for autographed photos.
The market for all things Thurmond may rise further as he celebrates his 100th birthday Thursday and ends his 48-year career as a senator, but experts warn against thinking the latest bric-a-brac has anything more than sentimental value.
Rare and valuable Thurmond items were rare and valuable years ago, said Brian Krapf, the Savannah lawyer who heads the Dixie Chapter of American Political Items Collectors.
"I was asked the same thing when Richard Nixon died," he said. "Demand doesn't increase."
NEW YORK (AP) - Robert De Niro will show his new comedy, "Analyze That," to 1,500 troops at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., two days before the movie opens in theaters.

Before Wednesday's screening, De Niro will join Gen. Tommy Franks, head of the U.S. Central Command, in meeting with troops involved in the war on terror in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
"Analyze That" is the first in a series of screenings for military personnel planned through the Tribeca Film Institute, which De Niro co-founded with his business partner, Jane Rosenthal.
De Niro reprises his role as mob boss Paul Vitti from the 1999 hit "Analyze This." Billy Crystal also is back as Paul's neurotic therapist, Ben Sobel. The movie comes out Friday in theaters nationwide.
NEW YORK (AP) - Rosie O'Donnell's girlfriend has given birth to a baby girl.
Kelli Carpenter, the comedian and former talk show host's longtime partner, gave birth to Vivienne Rose O'Donnell Friday at an undisclosed New York hospital, O'Donnell spokeswoman Cindi Berger said Saturday.
"Mothers and baby are just great," Berger said.
The baby weighed 6 pounds, 6 ounces and is 19 inches long, Berger said.
Carpenter and O'Donnell named the baby Vivienne after the main character in the book "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," and Rose after O'Donnell's mother, Roseanne, Berger said.
O'Donnell ended her syndicated talk show in May, and four months later left Rosie magazine, saying the publishers had stripped her of editorial control. Publishers Gruner + Jahr and O'Donnell are suing each other over the magazine's demise.
NEW YORK (AP) - Actor Federico Castellucio had a successful career as a painter before landing a role in the hit TV series "The Sopranos." It shows when he talks about how he became interested in joining the show.
"I saw the pilot (in 1999) and I was blown away. It had all the elements of something great, like a well-composed painting," Castellucio told Newsweek magazine in an interview posted Friday on its Web site.
Castellucio's "modern renaissance" style paintings have been exhibited in galleries around the world, but it has been playing henchman Fiorio Giunta that has made his face recognized on the streets.

Counting The Ladies Who Launch
Where are all the women? A far-ranging study from the National Commission on Entrepreneurship finds only half as many women as men are starting businesses. Why? For starters, men network more broadly than women, says the NCOE's Michael Camp. (In fact, only 37% of women say they know an entrepreneur, vs. almost half of men.) That gives men more resources to launch a company. And women are finding that owning a business doesn't necessarily mean it's easier to juggle work and family, says Patricia G. Greene, a professor at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. Finally, while technology is the hot spot in entrepreneurship, relatively few women major in math or science. That, says Camp, is a formula for fewer female entrepreneurs in the years ahead.

it should, brown bear, silver bear, golden tiger, tulammo, it's pretty much all the same, make sure it's newer production so you don't get the lacquer coated stuff
February 9, 2012, 12:25 PM
I know you've probably heard this but you are better off to use brass ammo in an ar. It doesn't dirty up the chamber as much
February 9, 2012, 01:23 PM
I don't think My S&W M&P 15 has shot anything but steel cased ammo. No issues with either the lacquer, polymer, or zinc plated steel cased ammo.
February 9, 2012, 01:25 PM
Tula is the worst you can get basically
Look for WPA Military Classic
Brown or Silver Bear
use www.gun-deals.com/ammo to find best prices online
DONT BUY TULA AT WALMART. WPA or Brown bear are better quality and cheaper online, even with shipping
I wouldnt buy a ton of any Russian ammo without trying some first.
Some people just have problems with it, even in quality rifles.
I shoot Brown bear and have never had 1 issue.
February 9, 2012, 02:13 PM
I highly recommend Blackhills reloads, a little more expensive but well worth it. Never a concern about reliability and as accurate as you can buy.
February 9, 2012, 02:22 PM
I have shoot a lot of steel. Hornady steel match is great. Wolf works just fine a little dirty. The Tula is ok, but it is very inaccurate and very dirty. The Brown bear is bad stuff, keyholes. I will not shoot any of the brown bear.
February 9, 2012, 04:41 PM
I run silver bear in mine and its been perfect.
February 9, 2012, 04:47 PM
Ths not a bad deal at widners for 1200 rounds of IMI 55gr for $318.00 and its reloadable-http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=9017&dir=18|830|845

Wideners is out of stock on this and may never get more.
Right now there is not as big a price difference between steel-cased imports and bulk brass ammo. Steel has come up some, and bulk brass down.
But I bought a bunch of Silver Bear a while back and had no problem from a couple rifles, although those were 20". Silver Bear feels much softer than standard 223 ammo, especially noticeable when mixed in a mag. I checked close zeroes and it was ok for shooting paper targets at matches at close distances, but I do not remember the exact zero differences.
February 10, 2012, 11:17 AM
lmccrock Guess I am glad I got some when I could. Yea I have avoided any steel as long as I can. I know the IMI55 is a good quality ammo and have shot some wolf gold 75gr match just to see how well it works. Good stuff but price is up some. Also when the ar223 was 5 bucks and change at wally world I bought a bunch of that. Guess I covered for ammo for a some time atleast. I only live 25 miles from widners and a couple hours from PSA so do tend to watch there prices ,Just not the invetory levels apparently. HA.
February 10, 2012, 11:33 AM
I have a M&P 15OR and have had no problems with 55gr FMJ, 62gr HP, and 62gr SP - all Silver Bear. Ditto for Monarch 55gr FMJ.
The 62gr silver bear clocked in at 2903 fps for 1160 ft-lbs which is pretty respectable. Not quite as hot as NATO 62gr SS109/XM855 2990fps) but this is 223 ammo so that is to be expected.
It did seem to have a slight shift in point of impact, both a bit lower and to the right about 3/4" at 70 yards. I still shoot some on occasion.
If you can get it for $4-$4.50/box then good, otherwise the $6 American Eagle by Federal at Walmart is a best buy for your $$$. Brass case, made in USA.
February 10, 2012, 06:48 PM
I use them in my Colt AR15 all of the time & never any problems.? just a good cleaning as usual does the trick.?

College Overview
Longtime college supporters contribute to NIC campaign
Return to news room
Jack and Camie Beebe believe that North Idaho College plays a major role in what makes this community a success, from the positive business climate to the region's quality health care.
|photo1|The Beebes have supported the college through the years and recently contributed $20,000 to the Providing Opportunities—Fulfilling Dreams Community Campaign, which will provide technology for the new NIC Health and Sciences Building as well as student scholarships.
Camie is a registered nurse. After graduating from NIC's nursing program in 1974, she went on to attain her bachelor's degree from Lewis-Clark State College, working for Kootenai Medical Center and North Idaho Home Health before her recent retirement.
"NIC plays a major role in our community and we were pleased to make our contribution," Camie said.
Jack, a partner in Beebe McKernan and Daboll Professional Real Estate Services, recognized this as well and has been a supporter of the college for many years. He served on the NIC Board of Trustees for six years in the early '90s and has been an NIC Foundation board member for more than 20 years.
While serving on the board of trustees, Jack helped spearhead the effort to attain funding for the construction of the NIC Molstead Library. When he saw NIC's need for a health and sciences facility, he stepped up. Not only with a financial contribution to the campaign, but as a volunteer.
"Health is a primary concern for all of us," said Jack, who is also a pharmacist. "NIC produces high quality nurses and health professionals throughout the region and contributing to this cause is a way to support the future of health care in our community."
The 57,000-square-foot NIC Health and Sciences Building is scheduled to open in September. More than $1.75 million has been raised in the NIC Providing Opportunities—Fulfilling Dreams Community Campaign to date.

on January 20, 2013 - 1:09 AM
, updated January 20, 2013 at 2:28 AM
The Sabres' task this season is to prove they are tougher. Tougher to play against. Tougher to score on. Tougher to beat in Buffalo. ¶ And for fans hoping to see a big increase in goals? Tough. ¶ The Sabres expect their identity to include blue-collar buzzwords like grit, determination and stinginess. They want to wipe away their reputation as pushovers with a thick piece of sandpaper.
They began their transformation in the offseason by adding fiery Steve Ott and 6-foot-8 heavyweight John Scott. They hope the influx of toughness permeates the dressing room.
"You have to look at the overall picture where you bring in a few guys who will bring grit, who will bring toughness, who will bring team toughness," Sabres captain Jason Pominville said. "In our conference and our division, we're going to need that to be able to win. By adding those guys, I think I like our team."
The grit comes with a price. As General Manager Darcy Regier acknowledged when he acquired Ott for playmaking center Derek Roy, the Sabres' skill level likely will be lower.
"The goal scoring has been pretty tight and got even tighter last year," coach Lindy Ruff said. "I don't see that changing."
Likely hindering the offense will be Buffalo's youth and inexperience down the middle. Tyler Ennis, 23, is the elder statesman among the top three centers with 140 games of experience. Cody Hodgson is 22 and first-round pick Mikhail Grigorenko is 18.
"We've placed a few gambles," Ruff said.
The Sabres are betting their defense and goaltending can carry them. They return seven blue-liners and have added T.J. Brennan, who blossomed in Rochester during the lockout. Ryan Miller finished last season on a 20-6-5 run.
"I'm hoping we're a team that is better defensively," Pominville said. "If we play well defensively with the goalie we have, we give ourselves a tremendous chance of winning.
"Ryan likes to know what he's going to see in front him and know what his defensemen are going to do. He can read off that easily, so if we can bring that to him I think it will definitely benefit our game. The end result is going to be us winning more games."
Since this is Buffalo, it makes sense that wings take center stage.
Pominville and Thomas Vanek will flank Hodgson after combining for 56 of Buffalo's 211 goals last season. Grigorenko will look left and see Ott, who has 19- and 22-goal seasons on his resume. On the rookie's right will be Ville Leino, who is eager to bounce back after a torturous first season in Buffalo that included a failed experiment at center.
"I like playing the right wing," Leino said. "I get a little more time on the offense. I can do my cycle game, work in the corners, hold on to the puck. That's where I'm best at.
"I like a guy like Otter. Big body, good shot, knows how to score, goes to the net, knows how to make plays. He's exactly the type of player you want to play with."
The make-or-break line is Ennis between Marcus Foligno and Drew Stafford. They combined for 21 goals and 49 points in just 13 games together at the end of last year. Duplicating that will be nearly impossible, but the Sabres need significant offense.
"One of our strengths as a line is taking advantage of other teams' turnovers and having that quick-strike offense, that quick transition getting going the other way," Stafford said. "We have the speed and skill to make those kind of plays."
The Sabres hope 6-8 Tyler Myers stands out. Injuries limited the defenseman to 55 games last year. When the soon-to-be 23-year-old is healthy, he can be a game changer.
"When he is real fresh and strong, he is a dominant force out there," Ruff said. "You don't have to get much heavier, but you need to put some stamina in your tank and you probably need to get stronger."
Christian Ehrhoff, who had at least 42 points in each of the previous three seasons, slipped to 32 last year. He and Andrej Sekera need to provide more offense.
Robyn Regehr and Alexander Sulzer should be more comfortable playing in front of Miller during their second seasons in Buffalo.
"If we can keep our goals against down and get up around three goals for, that's a pretty good picture," Ruff said. "I see a defense, when it was healthy, our record was really good. I think that's our strength. I think our unknown maybe is the youth we have at center ice right now, but that youth could really serve us well."

As she embarked on her weight-loss journey with the show, however, she became obsessed with the number on the scale, and that obsession turned into a devastating eating disorder. Spurred to lose weight drastically and swiftly, she shed a whopping 207 pounds in less than a year – more than half of her body weight.
As a prize, the show arranged for surgery to remove the excess skin that remained after her massive weight loss. For a few weeks, Jacqui looked better than she ever had. But at what cost?
While on the show, it was Jacqui's full-time job to lose weight. Now that the show had ended, Jacqui had traded one set of unhealthful behaviors and symptoms for another: She was lighter, yet more unhealthy and unhappy than ever.
She hadn't learned how to keep her weight off – only how to lose it in the first place. She couldn't sustain her extremely restricted caloric intake and the hours of exercise every day, and on top of that, she suffered from the crippling anxiety that came with knowing she couldn't keep going on like this – and feared the weight would come back.
And it did. As she transitioned back into normal life, she started to unravel. She was binge eating again, her metabolism was all over the place, and she was having a slew of health problems.
In six months, she gained back nearly 100 pounds.
Since the early 2000s, extreme-weight-loss shows have been a staple of American TV programming. From The Biggest Loser to Extreme Makeover to Shedding for the Wedding, we've been tuning in to watch regular Joes duke it out to see who can lose the most weight. I'll admit even I have gotten wrapped up in the compelling stories and dramatic before-and-after transformations.
I hear people call these shows "inspiring" and "life-changing," but in truth, in my opinion these shows are doing more to hurt our understanding of healthy living than then they are to help it. Before you dismiss me completely, hear me out:
They're UnrealisticMost of these shows involve a "boot camp" or "retreat" atmosphere where contestants leave their lives and jobs and families behind to immerse themselves in 24/7 weight-loss conditioning. Their meals are prescribed and monitored. When they're not sleeping, they're working out.
Now I ask you: How in any way does this help us lose weight in real life? Most of the people I know can barely manage to carve out 20 minutes, much less 10 hours. This time commitment to exercise makes for great entertainment but, I think, ultimately conveys a warped sense of reality.
They're a Short-Term Solution to a Long-Term ProblemThe boot-camp atmosphere of these shows teaches us how to lose weight quickly, not how to keep it off. Weight management involves making a long-term commitment, as well as implementing changes to our everyday lives.
Sure, you see the "success stories" on the covers of magazines and in '"Where are they now?" episodes. But for every "success story," there is at least one participant who has gained some, if not all, of the weight back.
They're Sending the Wrong MessageIn several of these programs, the reward for winning is a cash prize. This turns what could be an amazing lesson on life and healthy living into an attitude of "winning at any cost." So, after eight weeks, the person who lost the most weight (no matter how he or she did so) wins! But then what? The contestants may not be properly equipped with the knowledge or the tools to sustain a healthy life for themselves.
When the camera goes off, the newly thin contestant is placed right back into the routine that enabled him or her to become obese in the first place. In reality, it's about focusing on the process – how can we tweak our everyday lives to be healthy in a sustainable way?
They May Lead to Long-Term Weight GainSome of these shows have their contestants work out for hours a day. First of all, no one should go from being completely sedentary to training like an Olympian; that's just asking for injury.
A recent study found that some contestants experienced a significant drop in resting metabolic rate, burning 504 fewer calories on average, thanks to an effect known as "metabolic adaptation." And, according to U.S. News & World Report, as many as 90 percent of the contestants on the show purportedly regain all their lost weight.
In fact, LiveScience reported that two contestants from season eight were hospitalized after collapsing during a run. Another contestant from season nine was treated for exhaustion after trying to ride 26 miles on a stationary bike.
The risk in all three cases was significantly higher because the contestants had been severely obese and inactive for many years.
It Makes People Unlikable, and May Lead Us to Become Unlikable OurselvesResearchers have also investigated how The Biggest Loser affects viewers. In one study, viewers expressed increased disdain for overweight people, even after watching just one episode. In a second study, viewers were more likely to think of obesity as a condition influenced mostly by lack of self-control.
Finally, a third investigation found that viewers were less inclined to exercise because of how it's portrayed on the show. Images of people barfing and passing out aren't good motivators, apparently.

Brad promised to help her, and did just that. He started her on a Shaklee program that gave her the knowledge and tools that she needed to create a healthy, sustainable routine. With the proper direction, Jacqui was finally learning how to nourish herself healthfully and enjoy food again in the real world. But she still didn't know how to get exercise without spending hours in the gym.
So Brad introduced me to Jacqui to help guide her through real-world exercise. I started her off with a Fitbit, insisting she never go a day without taking at least 10,000 steps. Then we added in a light resistance circuit five times a week. I showed Jacqui how to move more and work out less by focusing on moving when she'd normally be sitting.
Instead of driving, she started walking to meet her friends for coffee, and spending less time chained to a treadmill in a gym. Between Shaklee's nutrition program and my simple movement plan, Jacqui learned not measure her happiness with a number on a scale, and to focus more on what she has control over, such as moving and eating.
Bonus: This new approach allowed Jacqui to lose weight in a healthy way. For the first time in her life, she says, she's in a place where she can understand what it means to be healthy and happy (and thin) in the long term.
I realize that The Biggest Loser: The Lifespan Challenge wouldn't be compelling TV, but it would make for the better lesson. We need to be patient with ourselves and learn how to make little sustainable changes in our lives, which, in turn, will make the long-term difference.

Update, 2:17 p.m.:
Blueshirts United has more from Clark and on the Traverse City tournament.
Original Post:
Joe Fortunato at Blueshirt Banter continues his conversation with Rangers Director of Player Personnel Gordie Clark this time about Chris Kreider (2009 – 1st).
Clark on Boston College being a great fit for Kreider…
"What Chris had to learn, as he gets towards the NHL, is that the pros have a lot of very smart defenseman, and they're as strong as he is and some guys are even as fast as Chris," Clark said. "So he had to learn how to play a team game. And that's what [Boston College Head Coach] Jerry York was able to provide for him. And he and that coaching staff have done a great job. Everything isn't just dependent on him. At prep school it was "if Chris went we won." At Boston College you're one of the team; he's learned how to play a team game and learned how to play his position."
Clark adds that Kreider's scoring numbers are down because of Boston College's system and that he is a very underrated goal scorer.
…sounds as if, despite his drop in scoring, Kreider's overall game will benefit from learning a team concept at BC. If Gordie Clark isn't worried about it then I won't either.

Today is Sat. I've been trying to motivate my husband to do this too. It's taken me months. I'm happy to say we officially started yesterday. I lost 3 pounds with no % change. I feel great. No side effects at all. (I tend to get severe migraines when I loose wt fast. This is more than 1/3 lb per day. I think my body detoxes the stored fat. But that is just my opinion)
We set up a workout area with a large mat, three kettle balls, a set of resistance bands, and those weight blocks where you can adjust the weight and they are hand weights. I will say we had all of this stuff collecting dust for years. The only new addition is the kettle balls and large mat. So the total expense was $45. The balls were on sale and I've always wanted them!!!
The food isn't a challenge. This is how I was raised. No sugar unless it was a home made treat like cookies. Everything in it's original form. Veg from the garden and nothing from a can or box. My mom was a wonderful cook and made everything from scratch. All my friends would beg to come to my house for meals. She fried everything in bacon fat and always had at least 5 different dishes on the table.
I tend to get off track. So where was I???
Yesterday I had eggs with bacon. Lunch was roasted turkey and broccali. Dinner was turkey broccali and my favorite salad.
I love tea and drink at least a pot a day. My current favorite is Red African tea. Tons of antioxidents and slightly sweet.
As for exercise I did a few Russian get ups, which I don't really like. 30 kettleball swings, plank, some arm raises, push ups, attempted pull ups on my kids swing set and went for a 10 minute run. Total time less than 30 minutes

Hello Guru's,
I have couple of questions regarding the File Adapter.
My scenarios are File to Proxy and Proxy to File.
1. File to Proxy.
I have '|' delimited file with more than 100 fields, But I need to map and send only 10 fields to SAP. And those 10 fields are present first 20 fields only.
Now the question is Do I need to create Source Data Type with all 100 fields or First 20 fields are enough? How do the File Content Conversion if I use first 20 fields.
Pls provide the example.
2. Proxy to File.
In this scenario, Requirement is before FTP'ing the actual file, I need to send a blank file with the name abc.trg. Its like once once the proxy is triggered, I need to put trigger file first and after couple seconds I need put the actual file using Receiver File Adapter. Is this possible using receiver File Adapter?
Appreciate your inputs.
You can create structure only with 20 fields and configure the below parametrs in channel.
if there are more field than configured then theybwill be ignored.
you can refer to the sdn help for the file content conversion in file adapter.It is explained clearly.
for the second one -May be you can go for run operating system command. Place the original file in a dummy directory and then using a batch file write a script to move a blank file first and then the original file with a delay.
1. construct source structure with those 100 fields and map only first 20 fields to the target.
2. PI neither store the file nor it can wait unless you use BPM. PI stores interms of messages but thats not reccommended. So single receiver adapter may not beable to put both the files at different intervals. But if you use dynamic configuration to set the name of the file then refer to the point 3 mentioned below.
3. your proxy will send 2 parameters , 1st to create the dummy file and the other time to create the actual file. depending on these parameters, in mapping program you have to write UDF to set the name of the file using dynamic configuration. Thus with same receiver file adapter you will be creating 2 files with defferent names.

I-35E frontage road reopens after pipeline bursts in Dallas' Medical District; cause still unknown
Update at 1:12 p.m.: Frank Librio, the city's spokesman, says Dallas Water Utilities is in the process of reopening Stemmons Freeway's northbound service road between Medical District Drive and Inwood Road. Says Librio's missive, "Rush hour is not expected to be impacted significantly."
He notes that city workers are still in the process of removing mud the affected areas, which could take a while; it was deep, after all. from businesses and surface areas affected. Alas, the pipe burst remains a mystery: "No cause has been identified yet."
Staff writer Julie Fancher reports at 10:20 a.m.:
Workers from Dallas Water Utilities are still working to repair a huge water pipeline that burst Wednesday evening.
City spokesman Frank Librio said the northbound service road of Interstate 35E between Medical District Drive and Inwood Road was covered with up to 14 inches of mud after the pipeline burst.
That service road has been closed to traffic since shortly after the 36-inch water main ruptured about 5 p.m. Wednesday, but the utility hopes to reopen one lane before noon today.
Crews are expected to continue working on repairs for the next 24 hours. They are also working to remove the mud and debris from private parking lots of nearby businesses.
As of today, no water customers have been impacted by the pipeline burst.
Why the pipeline burst remains unclear as the utility has not been able to inspect the broken pipeline.

Not all the games are $5 or £3 in the UK!! some are cheaper depending on what ones you want! To be hinest you can buy them on the GC but not to have to change the discs all the time is pricesless for me!
Would be better if you can just receive e-mails on it... fed up with all this add me and ill add you stuff!
More channels will come... will be good to have a demo channel and also to make more games with online capabilities (as i said this will come in time)
Thi internet channel is not pointless... has got some great advantages to it such as java games (good for people like you who don;t want to spend money on VC games) and not to mention Finetune!!

International fees and financial support
We appreciate the importance of knowing the cost implications of your studies on your ability to plan your study at Loughborough. It is important to ensure you have prepared for the cost of tuition, accommodation and living expenses, and that you have researched all of the potential sources of funding which can help support you.
Whatever your level of study, the information in the sections below summarises the main costs to international students studying in the UK, as well as the means and support available to you during your time with us. The guide is split into clear topics for costs and support, which we hope will help you find all of the information you need.
If you have any questions, please contact the International Office, who will be able to help with you query.
- Cost of study
- University scholarships
- External scholarships
- Scholarships by region
The most important costs to consider when deciding to study at Loughborough are Tuition Fees, accommodation costs, and general living expenses. The sections below will help you find the cost of your chosen course and help you understand typical costs of living in the UK.
Tuition fees and course costs
Placement in
Placement year fee
Tuition Fees cover the cost of your teaching, assessment and accessing University facilities such as the library, IT equipment and other support services. Our competitive Tuition Fees are set per-course and you can use our Tuition Fee Finder to find the fee for your course.
The Tuition Fee covers all core course costs, such as tuition, examinations and graduation. Depending on the nature of your course, there may be some additional costs such as textbooks, safety equipment, art materials, etc.
Please note: Tuition fees shown in the Fee Finder are for new students commencing the first year of study in the specified year only. Subsequent years of study are typically subject to an increase (usually around 5%).
Accommodation and living costs
Accommodation and living costs can vary considerably depending on your lifestyle and accommodation preferences and needs. Loughborough is not an expensive town to live in by UK standards. However, you should budget appropriately for the duration of your studies.
You will need to consider all major living expenses and the totals will vary according to the type of accommodation chosen and particular dietary, clothing and other needs.
Loughborough University offers numerous scholarships, departmental bursaries and research studentships across all levels of study. Typically these awards are merit based and subject to strong academic performance. The scholarship or bursary is offset against the tuition fee amount payable, with larger awards superseding any other scholarships or bursaries which may have been awarded.
The university also welcomes scholars who have applied for or been awarded prestigious awards such as the Africa Development Trust, British Marshall, Commonwealth, Chevening, Fulbright, Unesco/ World Bank and Santander scholarships.
Undergraduate International Scholarships
Self-funded international undergraduate applicants are automatically considered for a Loughborough University international scholarship (currently 25% of tuition fees).
Students with exceptional school or college grades (or predicted grades) may be offered this award on the basis of their initial application and will be advised of this with their offer of a place.
Taught postgraduate School bursaries and scholarships
A wide range of department-specific bursaries and scholarships are available to postgraduate students. In most of these cases you will be assessed on your eligibility base on your postgraduate application. Scholarships and bursaries are always set against tuition fees, which means that the amount of the award will be deducted from your fees before you are charged.

Research finance
Many of the research studentships offered by the University, often supported and sponsored by high-profile industrial/corporate parters, are also open to international students. You can find details of these in our Research Councils and Studentships information.
Postgraduate International Scholarships
Over 100 scholarships will be available in 2015/2016 to new self-financing full-time international students who are permanently resident in a country outside the European Union (EU).
Available in a range of subject areas these scholarships will be to the value of 25% of the programme tuition fee and that value will be credited to the student's tuition fee account.
In addition to the key support options there are a range of sources of financial support which may or may not apply to you.
External sources of funding
In addition to support from the University and our partners, there are a number of external sources of financial support you may want to consider. These organisations typically offer bursaries and/or scholarships to international students - sometimes restricted to those resident in a particular region - to students studying taught postgraduate programmes.
Working during your studies
Many students find that having a part time job whilst studying provides them with an additional income. As an international student, it is important to ensure that you aware of the working hours your visa permits as there are restrictions on how many hours can be worked on a student visa.
Sports scholarships
Sport scholarships are available to student athletes competing usually at least at junior international standard, and have fulfilled the normal academic requirements for either undergraduate or postgraduate entry.
Support varies by sport and performance level and can include first class coaching, strength and conditioning and sports medicine support, as well as annual financial support.
Hardship support
It is important that you take all possible steps to ensure you have adequate funding for your studies, but we appreciate that sometimes unexpected costs, emergencies and shortfalls can occur. The University has an Emergency Payments Fund which may be able to provide assistance in cases where exceptional circumstances occur.
In addition to the support available to all international students, there are a number of scholarships and bursaries available to students from specific countries or regions.
United States of America
A range of scholarships and loans are available to students from the US undertaking postgraduate study at Loughborough University.
These include Fulbright Scholarships, British-Marshall Scholarships, and the US Federal Loans scheme.
A number of full-fee scholarships for international full-time taught postgraduate students who are currently domiciled (permanently living) in Africa are available.
The scholarships are being funded through a combination of generous external funding and University funds. The University will award a limited number of scholarships and the standards required are very high.
Santander International Postgraduate Scholarship 2016/17
Loughborough University is pleased to offer up to nine postgraduate taught scholarships, funded by the Santander Universities scheme.
Each scholarship is valued at £5,000, for prospective full-time postgraduate taught students, with an excellent academic record, who are a permanent resident of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Korea, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, USA or Venezuela

TORONTO -- John Lederer, ousted as president of Loblaw Cos. here in September, walked away with more than $19 million (U.S.), a proxy statement filed last week by the retailer showed. The compensation included about $10.4 million in severance payments and stock options worth around $8.6 million, the filing said. Lederer served Loblaw for more than 30 years but resigned "by mutual consent" in September after a pattern of mis-steps surrounding a supply chain initiative.
