McDowell falls in extra innings at Myrtle Beach
- Notre Dame Academy (Ohio) 8, McDowell 7: At Myrtle Beach, S.C., the Trojans put together a seventh-inning rally to force extra innings, but captain Molly Walters gave Notre Dame a walk-off win at the Myrtle Beach Classic.
Notre Dame (6-2) led 7-4 after six innings, but McDowell (3-1) rallied to tie the game on consecutive RBI singles by Crystal Flagg, Jenna Pecar and Courtney Baker. The two teams were then forced to use the international tiebreaker rule two innings early because they were on a time limit. The rule usually puts a runner on second base to start an inning from the 10th inning on. On Tuesday, the teams started using the rule in the eighth inning.
McDowell failed to score in the top of the eighth inning before the Eagles' leadoff runner was on third base with one out. Walters, who was a home run short of the cycle, lined a shot into the right-center gap to secure the walk off win.
Lexi Fuller finished with three hits for McDowell, while Rachel Ackman, Flagg and Baker all had two hits.
Akron recruit Cassie Gillespie led Notre Dame with two home runs.

Quick. What does Albuquerque have in common with New London?
That's right. Not the climate. It was above 80 degrees at noon Tuesday there, while there was a fall chill in the air here, closer to 60 degrees.
This hot summer, one thing the two cities had in common was a discussion about whether union construction firms should have a leg up in bidding on big expensive municipal contracts.
The Democratic-controlled City Council in New London blew a big kiss to the unions this summer and passed an ordinance giving union firms an advantage in competitive bidding.
Mayor Finizio took a big union swoon, too, refusing to veto the ordinance, saying it will make for better buildings, even though they will likely cost the city more money.
In Albuquerque, the issue of union-friendly rules for city construction projects has divided candidates for a pending mayoral race, with one candidate endorsing them, another campaigning against them and a third flip-flopping.
This is a debate that has been occurring all around the country, obviously the result of a national strategy by the unions to use political muscle to get a better grip on government contracts.
New London adopted a similar union-friendly rule in 2008. But after a political shift on the council, the Green Party and Republicans managed to rescind it in 2010, saying it excluded 80 percent of potential bidders, many of them small businesses.
One round of schools construction bidding at the time indicated a $900,000 savings, had the city been able to accept the lower, nonunion bid.
In bringing back labor-friendly requirements for city construction bids, the New London City Council was doing the union's heavy lifting, subverting the whole principle of competitive, low-bid-wins awarding of contracts.
The City Council did the lifting, but Mayor Finizio weighed in with the attempt at explaining, writing an op-ed piece for The Day, "Why Union Labor is Better," saying why he didn't veto the union-bussing ordinance.
Curiously, the mayor doesn't deny that the new ordinance is going to cost the city money.
In other words, it does indeed undermine the whole intent of competitive bidding to get the best price, a time-honored means to be sure governments are not cheated.
More strangely, the mayor made the argument, without any kind of statistics or documentation, that more expensive union-built buildings are better.
"While a bid awarded may, in today's dollars, be less than a union construction bid, the buildings built are not of the same quality," Finizio wrote.
I'm not sure what he could possibly base that reasoning on.
The city has its own building department and inspectors to be sure every single building in the city, whether built privately or by city contract, by union or nonunion workers, meets appropriate building codes and standards.
Where are the statistics that show union firms build better buildings?
It is also not clear how much of higher costs of using unionized companies goes to the construction workers and how much goes to the company owners. I suspect more to the latter.
Clearly the mayor is pandering to what he considers to be a powerful political constituency. That may be useful in statewide politics, where union endorsements can carry a lot of weight.
I am not sure, though, that making rules that drive up the cost of new municipal buildings, favoring a union constituency over others, in a city with rising tax rates, is such good politics.
We will find out this fall when Republicans, who rescinded the last union-friendly rules that subverted competitive bidding, will be on the ballot again.

Dedicated man is dedicated (or if a girl, sorry! =P). i don't blame this person. i gave up about five months back after the MK7 bundle was announced for the US. i originally wanted all white or all black or green/black.
I said F it and got the MK7 bundle. the Best Buy $160 price match along w/the free $30 GC i got at Target on the same transaction was WAY too good to pass up. the Blue is pretty good. not my favorite but it's nice. i'm hoping Hori will release a Nintendo themed XL skin set soon. i'll just cover up the blue with that ;).

yessir. I too would also love a different color than the ones we have now. White or silver. I wanted that SMTIV XL, but I believe I read that it isn't coming (not surprising).

I was gonna wait too, but I went ahead and got a blue one. I don't regret it. It looks a lot nicer than I thought it would tbh. It's a matte metallic color, rather than a cheap plastic looking one like I was afraid of.

I just want a green 3DS or XL. And it'd be really nice if the XL was all one color, I really don't like how they only bothered to color the top blue or red and just forgot about the rest.

SANU Memorandum
The Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (often referred to as the SANU Memorandum) was a draft document produced by a 16-member committee of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts from 1985 to 1986. Excerpts of the draft were published by Večernje novosti in September 1986.[1]
The memo immediately captured the public's attention in Yugoslavia as it gave voice to controversial views on the state of the nation and argued for a fundamental reorganization of the state.[1] The main theme was decentralisation leading to the disintegration of Yugoslavia and that the Serbs were discriminated against by Yugoslavia's constitutional structure.[2] It claimed that Serbia's development was eroded by support to other parts of Yugoslavia. It was officially denounced in 1986 by the government of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the government of the Socialist Republic of Serbia for inciting nationalism.[3] Some, such as Laura Silber and Allan Little, joint authors of Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation, consider its publication in 1986 to be a key moment in the breakup of Yugoslavia[4] and a contributor to the Yugoslav wars.[2]
The commission consisted of 16 Serb intellectuals:[5]
The memo is divided into two parts: one on the "Crisis in the Yugoslav Economy and Society", the other on the "Status of Serbia and the Serb Nation".[6] The first section focuses on the economic and political fragmentation of Yugoslavia that followed the promulgation of the 1974 constitution. The second section focuses on what the authors saw as Serbia's inferior status in Yugoslavia, and used the status of Serbs in the province of Kosovo and in Croatia to make its point.[citation needed]
The memo claimed that at the end of World War II, Josip Broz Tito deliberately weakened Serbia by dividing up the majority of Serbian territory, namely present day Serbia, Montenegro, the Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Croatia with Serb majority populations.[7][not in citation given]
The memo argued that Tito further weakened the Socialist Republic of Serbia by dividing its territory and creating the autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina, which was not reciprocated in the other Yugoslav republics.
Kosta Mihailović made contributions on the economy, Mihailo Marković on self-management, and Vasilije Krestić on the status of the Serbs of Croatia.
The memo was denounced by the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, including Slobodan Milošević, the future president of Serbia, who publicly called the memo "nothing else but the darkest nationalism", and Radovan Karadžić, the future leader of Serbs in Bosnia, who stated "Bolshevism is bad, but nationalism is even worse".[8] Despite these declarations, Milošević, Karadžić, and other Serb politicians publicly agreed with most of the memo and would form close political connections with the writers of the memo such as Mihailo Marković, who became the vice-president of the Socialist Party of Serbia and Dobrica Ćosić who was appointed president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992.[9]
Memorandum points[edit]
- Albanians are committing genocide against Serbs in Kosovo (pgs. 41, 56 of memorandum)
- Slovenia and Croatia are taking control of the Serbian economy. Yugoslavia is taking industry out of Serbia (pg. 42)
- There is need for constitutional changes of Yugoslavia because of its unfair mistreating and weakening of Serbia (pg. 46)
- discrimination against Serbs (pg. 50)
- Serbia sacrificed 2,500,000 victims for Yugoslavia (in World War I and II) and now is victim of this state (pg. 52)
- Between 1690 and 1912, 500,000 Serbs escaped from Kosovo where Albanians are committing genocide (pg. 56)
- There is great discrimination of Serbs living in Kosovo and in Croatia (pg. 58)
- Serbs in Croatia are now in danger like never before (pg. 62)
- All writers of Serb nationality from Bosnia are Serbs and not Bosnian writers (pg. 65)
- Serbs' question won't be solved before creation of full national and cultural unity of Serb people without importance where they live (pgs. 70–3)
- During the last 50 years Serbs have been two time victims of destruction, assimilation, changing of religion, cultural genocide, ideological indoctrination and saying that they do not have any importance. (pgs. 70–3)
- If Yugoslavia collapses, Serbia must look to its own national interest (pg. 73)

Walter Moss: Since the new pope seems to have a good sense of humor, he might appreciate the following irony: Although the Catholic Church he now heads bars women from the priesthood and his church is often accused of gender bias, the twentieth-century person who most forcefully embraced the ideals of St. Francis was a woman — Dorothy Day.

Lawrence Wittner: Despite the President's rhetorical support for nuclear abolition, it looks like the United States and other nations are on a very slow track to ridding the world of the nuclear menace.
Finally, Black Civil Rights Movement is Dying
Rev. Irene Monroe: For many African Americans of younger generations, who are now the beneficiaries of the racial gains from the Movement, feeling the Movement's' slow death is like a welcoming boulder gradually being lifted from their shoulders, especially for those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer.
Be the Peace You Want to See on Earth
David Swanson: I've never found any opponent of war who didn't believe there was evil in the world. After all, we oppose war because it is evil. Did Martin Luther King, Jr., stand idle in the face of threats? Are you serious?
The Incredible Shrinking Women
Tina Dupuy: Here's the thing about women candidates: they are more interesting to the press than their male counterparts. The media just likes them more. There's an obsession with female candidates' gaffes.

The holiday begins with two evenings of ritual meals called seders, at which Jews read the Haggadah to recount the story of the Exodus. During the holiday, Jews... READ ON

As long as we eat, flatulence is going to be a fact of life. Gas is a by-product of the digestion process and we normally produce a half a liter of it everyday in the form of 14-20 farts.
The source of that gas is the bacteria that live in the lower intestinal tract. Any food that doesn't get broken down in the stomach or the small intestine winds up... READ ON

Your wakeboarding background will help a bit, but you will still spend your first day falling on your tuckus until your brain learns how to discern which points of balance in which context will make you fall/turn/stop/do a 720 cork/whatever.
Presuming you've figured out how to (more or less) stop and turn on your first day, your second day will be spent trying to link some/all of the above and getting used to skooching/skating on one leg.... or doing drills if that is your thing.
I don't think you'll get anything out of a lesson at this point that you would not get watching a good instructional video and going to the hill with a plan.
Unlike many of the regular posters on the forum, i am a self taught snowboarder and I did it 3-4 days at a time per trip, taking 1 or 2 trips per year. My first snowboarding trip ever was a 3-day trip to Snow King & Jackson Hole, where the only time I spent on a green was to get back to the lift. Blues and (a few) blacks were what I learned on.
While I agree that a lesson would have eased my learning curve (if not my very sore muscles), I wouldn't have retained much 'muscle memory' from a lesson at that stage without any kind of foundation.
As soon as I figured out the basics of how to (albeit, crappily) link a turn on one side... I sat down at a mid-slope lodge and spent about 15-20 minutes just watching more experienced snowboarders as they came down the same slope I was training myself on (some better than others).
I would save the lesson for a season when you have more time on the hill. I think that you will get much more out of a private lesson if you can already stop, turn, and skate one-legged on a board. Doing this will leave enough time for instruction and work on leaning, body position, proper weighting, etc.... and it will actually stick.
IMO, the best advice you could get at this point is making sure you have good boots, comfortable bindings, and a board that will lend itself to easy learning.
If you are a skier already, the you already know the basics... you just need to teach your body how they apply sideways with your legs tethered down.
Anyways, that is my opinion and I am sure that about a dozen snow bums will chime in to tell me why I don't know what I'm talking about
Oh, last bit of advice... stay TF out of the park for your first few days!
I find it hard to agree with this advice. Why spend 2 days falling over and teaching yourself bad habits you'll probably never undo, when you can be linking turns by lunchtime on the first day and be taught good technique while you're a 'blank canvas'??

There have been a number of insightful comments of late about the news that Microsoft and Cisco Systems have been collaborating on secure development concepts.
The most interesting set of comments I saw were from Adrian Lane at Securosis who in his post entitled "FireStarter: Secure Development Lifecycle-You're Doing It Wrong" stated the following:
"…If you take the SDL Microsoft has described and try to implement it, you will fail. I am talking to the 99% of people out there who would think about implementing SDL and think "Hey, Microsoft published this new thingie for free; let's use it and save ourselves the time and money!" Wrong."
What may surprise many of you is that we are largely in agreement – for many of the same reasons that Adrian stated in his post. If you take Adrian's comment as 'let's use it exactly and expect to save time and money!' you'll run into problems. On the other hand, using what we've done as a base for your own security development process will save you time and money. That said, it's clear to me that "what we've got here is…failure to communicate." My profound apologies to "Cool Hand Luke" fans. : – )
We have received many requests over time for information on how Microsoft applies the SDL to our products and online services. The SDL process as outlined in the book written by Michael Howard and Steve Lipner as well as the guidance posted on the MSDN Developer Center is provided for one primary reason – to provide process transparency for our customers. There are a surprising number of customers who are starting to demand that vendors provide evidence of effective security processes, and we're happy to oblige.
While development teams external to Microsoft may find that our documented processes provide useful context, they are just that, our documented processes. It has never been the intent of Microsoft or the SDL team to present our process guidance on MSDN as implementation guidance.
Adrian's point #5 pretty much sums up our philosophy: "Do what Microsoft did, not what they do." We couldn't agree more – and that's the reason why we released a whitepaper I wrote entitled "Simplified Implementation of the Microsoft SDL" in February 2010 at Blackhat D.C. In contrast to the 150+ pages of us "showing our work" to our customer base, the "Simplified" paper is seventeen pages of proven, non-proprietary, platform agnostic information for development teams to consider when implementing the core security elements that make up the Microsoft SDL.
A skeptic might conclude that since Microsoft is a software company, there must be a reliance on Microsoft tools in order to "do" SDL. There is no reliance on Microsoft tools – while we do provide tools for various activities in the SDL, there are perfectly acceptable substitutes (or methods) available to those who wish to use something other than a Microsoft solution.
For example, we've heard of instances where dev teams have written narrative threat models in Word – heavy on the verbiage and light on the Visio diagrams. There was another instance where a team engaged in threat modeling as a whiteboard exercise; which seems like a really cool and interactive way for a team to get a solid understanding of the threats and mitigations for a particular application – until it's time to archive the result. So, they took a picture of the whiteboard and called it good.
While we think the SDL Threat Modeling tool is pretty handy in these situations and we are convinced of its effectiveness in surfacing design threats, the method used for the threat model is unimportant in the grand scheme of things. The importance lies in the act of threat modeling and using the output from the threat modeling process to drive the changes necessary to secure an application.
Similarly, if a dev team wants to start fuzzing, it makes no difference from an SDL perspective whether you use excellent free tools like the MiniFuzz fuzzer Michael Howard wrote, or Michael Eddington's Peach, or if you use any of the quality fuzzers available from SDL Pro Network tool vendors. Just find a tool that is appropriate to your needs and go fuzz your apps.
Adrian is "spot on" when he muses about the resources necessary to implement the SDL at Microsoft – it's a non-trivial bit of effort. Then again, there's only one Microsoft – we ship hundreds of applications, used in over 150 countries worldwide and deployed on a variety of software and hardware platforms. We feel we have a unique responsibility to make our products as secure as possible – that drives our security philosophy and our ongoing investment.
The Simplified SDL (or any proven security methodology for that matter) requires adequate resources, smart people, and subject matter expertise. We realize that not all organizations have the resource base of a Microsoft or a Cisco – but frankly speaking, you don't need to be an organization with several thousand developers, testers and architects to implement the SDL. Experience tells us that organizations (regardless of size) usually take an incremental approach to process improvement – security processes are no exception. If secure software is the end goal, then we can state with confidence that implementation of any of the processes listed in the Simplified SDL paper (in whole or in part) will contribute to more secure software.
The bottom line from our perspective is that development teams need to take an outcomes-based approach – they should strive to understand the operational environment in which their application will run and should take the steps necessary to ensure that the application (when code complete) is as safe as it can be, given available knowledge and resources.
So, a big hat tip to Securosis and Adrian for his insights – which gave us a great opportunity to talk about how the SDL is more than just a Microsoft process.
– Dave

Lägenheten ser ut precis som bilderna. Du måste komma ihåg att det finns ingen toalettpapper, tvål, diskborste, etc finns tillgängliga. Men kan man få låg allt på vägen. Lägenheten ligger direkt ovanför en stor Sainsburys marknad. Nycklar och tidig incheckning kör bra. Vi kommer att komma tillbaka.
Das Appartment sieht genauso aus wie auf den Fotos. Man muss daran denken, dass kein Toilettenpapier, Seife, Spülbürste, etc vorhanden ist. Kann man aber alles an der Straße günstig erwerben. Das Appartment ist direkt über einem großen Sainsbury´s Markt. Schlüsselübergabe und early-check-in sind prima gelaufen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Både Irene och hans följeslagare var mycket snäll att hantera oss, men ska jag säga, att lägenheten de gav oss, trots att de är i samma riktning, var inte samma som på bilderna, var helt annorlunda, även om Det var mycket bra och helt komplett och ren. Men sätta in de funktioner som den hade wifi och det är inte sant, jag hade ingen internet-anslutning. För de två små detaljer jag gav det 4 stjärnor om det inte hade varit för att det skulle ha varit perfekt.
Tanto Irene como sus compañeros fueron muy amables en el trato con nosotros, sin embargo, he de decir que el apartamento que nos entregaron, a pesar de estar en la misma dirección, no era el mismo que en las imágenes, era totalmente diferente, aunque estaba muy bien y bastante completo y limpio. Sin embargo en las características ponía que disponía de wifi y eso no es cierto, no tenia conexión a internet. Por esos dos pequeños detalle le doy 4 estrellas, si no hubiera sido por eso todo habría sido perfecto.
Our host was very nice, and explain everything we need. The studio was clean and we enjoyed our trip in London. I recommand it !
We had a lovely experience in London thanks to this apartment. It is close to the underground station and the bus stop that took us to the City of London. It is very clean and confortable except fot the sofa (ideal only for one person). In the neighborhood there are different supermarkets where you can find everything you need. The staff was kind and helped us to bring the luggages to the 2nd floor. We will definitely book again if we go to London in the future.
Unfortunately my experience was rather negative. The room was quite noisy and I was not aware of that. It was quite difficult to sleep. I can't recommend this room to my friends.
The flat has a very strong smell of mold/dirty pipes. We have communicated to the property owner on the very first day and after our 21 days stay no one has come to solve this problem. On top of this, the shower has an electronic water heating device inside it, which is very dangerous. My wife and myself had electric shocks twice. We had to stay 2 days without using the shower until the property owner has replaced the old device for a new one. I wouldn't recommend this flat unless it is your last resort.
A very good location, close to the subway station, and a very good value for money! The apartment is really small but perfect for a short journey. The owners are kind and helpful. I would definitely advise this apartment.
Great studio! Just as it was described and looked exactly like the pictures. Very clean! The full kitchen was shared by two flats, but this wasn't an issue. You also get a microwave and small fridge in the studio. Bathroom was small, but worked fine for my stay with two people. Overall it was a great experience.
The pictures that are on the website are NO WHERE near what the actual apartment looked like! This property is less than filthy! There is a large misrepresentation.
I suggest that someone actually look at this property. The light switches in the hallway didn't work, the shower by no means had new cauking in it, the floor boards in the shower area are rotting and oh, 1/2 roll of toilet paper for 8 days for two people!!
There is a sink yes, nothing to wash with or dry the dishes with, we had to purchase. The dishes were mismatched from somebody's basement junk and dirty, they had to be washed before even using a glass!
This is not even close to what we expected. The pillows were flat and who knows how clean. The two bath towels which were left were well used and the hangers in the closet were so dusty, they couldn't be used....we had nothing to wipe them with unless we wanted to used one of the two towels were were supplied with as a hand towel and a towel for the floor ....
Would never trust the pictures again as a hostel would have been a better option but as the traveller, you are at the mercy of who you trusted and who took your money.
Amazing apartment with really good location! And good service! I would love to stay here again!

I find it truly rewarding to be able to volunteer and get to know the people that I help when I volunteer 3 days a week. I volunteer with a dedicated group of people that thoroughly enjoy providing 2 meals per day to our homebound Meals on Wheels clients, a hot lunch for our Soup Kitchen patrons and emergency groceries for our Food Pantry guest.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
being able to see EECM help the growing number of people in this unstable economy. The list of people needing some sort of help increases daily. Fortunately, the list of people willing to help grows as well.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
getting to know some of the clients, especially at The Soup Kitchen. When they smile at me and ask me how I am, it reaffirms that everyone can wake up everyday and try to make today the best day possible.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
friendly and fun to work with. Even though you are volunteers, we all go in with the attitude that there is work to be done but have fun providing the help to others.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Posted By IsaChandra On October 20, 2008 @ 3:58 am In Cookie,Desserts,Recipe | 145 Comments
Makes 4 dozen cookies
These are soft out of the oven, but as they cool they are nice and chewy. They are a serious crowd pleaser, for crowds with taste buds.
Note: I use flax seeds because they make the texture a little chewier, but I've made them without and they're still good!
baking sheets
2 mixing bowls
2 cups flour
1 1/3 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons molasses
1 cup canned pumpkin, or cooked pureed pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla
optional: 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350. Have ready 2 greased baking sheets.
Mix together flour, oats, baking soda, salt and spices.
In a seperate bowl, mix together sugar, oil, molasses, pumpkin and vanilla (and flax seeds if using) until very well combined. Add dry ingredients to wet in 3 batches, folding to combine. Fold in walnuts and raisins.
Drop by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheets. They don't spread very much so they can be placed only an inch apart. Flatten the tops of the cookies with a fork or with your fingers, to press into cookie shape. Bake for 16 minutes at 350. If you are using two sheets of cookies on 2 levels of your oven, rotate the sheets halfway through for even baking. You'll have enough batter for 4 trays.
Remove from oven and get cookies onto a wire rack to cool. These taste best when they've had some time to cool and set. They taste even better the next day!

Big Clearwire Holder Resists Sprint
Sprint Nextel Corp. S -0.45 % is up to its neck in a merger fight, and it's all about airwaves.
Pay-TV provider Dish Network Corp. DISH -0.47 % has offered $25.5 billion for the mobile-phone carrier, in a headline-grabbing attempt to break up Sprint's agreement to be bought by SoftBank Corp. 9984 -2.80 %
But Sprint is waging another battle over a separate, lower-profile effort to buy the roughly 50% stake it doesn't own in wireless-broadband operator Clearwire Corp. The fight is against a little-known but determined investment fund called Crest Financial Ltd., and Sprint could end up the loser.
Sprint declined to comment.
The standoff underscores how the long-awaited wave of consolidation in the telecom industry that kicked off last year has been stymied by activist shareholders wary of selling on the cheap, or even selling at all. It also highlights the messy, interlocking series of deals now consuming the industry.
Sprint, which has agreed to be acquired by SoftBank, is attempting to buy Clearwire, which also has gotten its own offer from Dish.
Far from a sideshow, Clearwire plays a leading role in this complex web of maneuvers. Clearwire's chief attraction is its huge store of spectrum, the airwaves that all wireless providers need. Those airwaves are critical to Sprint's future.
Crest, which owned a small stake in Clearwire for years before starting to buy the stock aggressively just 10 months ago, has emerged as an unlikely antagonist in the drama. Most of the Houston-based fund's previous investments have been in the energy business, rather than telecom. It isn't looking for a higher price for its Clearwire stock or some other concession. And it isn't going away.
What it does have is a strong appreciation for the value of Clearwire's spectrum, and it thinks Sprint is underpaying.
On April 10, Crest launched a proxy fight to block the proposed acquisition, saying shareholders should vote later this spring to keep Clearwire independent until it can find a better deal. People familiar with the matter said the level of shareholder opposition is a concern for Sprint, particularly after investors forced better terms in another telecom deal: MetroPCS Communications Inc.'s pending merger with Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA unit.
The industry has expected a Sprint-Clearwire deal for years. But Sprint needs support from a majority of the shares it doesn't own to push through the acquisition. In addition to trying to swing the vote, Crest has sued in Delaware Chancery Court and pressed the Federal Communications Commission to block not only Sprint's acquisition of Clearwire, but also SoftBank's $20 billion plan to buy control of Sprint.
The deals are related, because it is the cash coming from SoftBank that would give Sprint the financial resources to take on heavily indebted Clearwire.
Advisers to Clearwire are sizing up the potential impact of Dish's recent decision to pursue Sprint, which has at least temporarily derailed the company's separate pursuit of Clearwire's spectrum.
Dish Chairman Charles Ergen said he would honor Sprint's deal with Clearwire if Dish succeeds in its attempt to buy Sprint.
Clearwire shareholders are betting Sprint will have to improve its terms. Clearwire's stock finished 4 p.m. trading Friday down 1.2% at $3.25, well above Sprint's $2.97-a-share bid.
It wasn't clear whether Sprint would consider raising its offer. Even if Clearwire's shareholders reject the acquisition, Sprint's big stake makes it difficult for the smaller company to do another deal without its approval.
There also is the problem of Clearwire's weak finances. The company warned earlier this month that it may be forced into bankruptcy court if the merger falls through. Underscoring its determination to keep Clearwire independent, Crest has offered to provide $240 million in financing from its own funds to keep the company afloat.
Clearwire declined to comment.
Crest is a structured limited partnership whose sole partner is a family trust controlled by Syrian-American businessman Jamal Daniel, who immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s, and his wife, Rania. The Daniels live in Houston, where they lead an active social life and have donated to various philanthropic and political causes.
Mr. Daniel, 54 years old, specializes in oil-and-gas deals. Crest's investments have included stakes in a liquefied natural-gas plant in Texas and another in Mississippi, part of which was sold to a unit of General Electric Co. GE 0.30 % in 2010. These investments have netted the fund several hundred million dollars in profits, public records show.
Crest's interest in Clearwire dates back to 2004, when the fund swapped spectrum licenses it held in 19 markets such as Anchorage, Alaska, Denver and Duluth, Minn., for a stake in the wireless company before it went public. An affiliate of Crest, Digital & Wireless Television LLC, won the licenses in an FCC auction in 1996, bidding more than $5 million for the rights, according to filings.
The fund sold off most of its Clearwire stake, but by last June, it was back. Crest said it bought 39 million Clearwire common shares for $58 million, making it the company's largest minority shareholder, with a roughly 8% stake.
"When Crest increased its holdings in Clearwire, Crest was very familiar with Clearwire's spectrum holdings and believed in Clearwire's business plan for developing its spectrum assets," a Crest spokesman said.
Crest's campaign is unusual for a dissenting shareholder. Typically, investors resist deals because they want more money from the buyer. Crest has repeatedly said it isn't interested in seeking a higher price from Sprint or cashing out of Clearwire.
During a call with analysts earlier this year, Crest's general counsel, David Schumacher, said the fund hasn't undertaken an analysis of what a fair price for Clearwire would be. Instead, it says it is "determined to preserve an independent Clearwire for the wireless market."
Crest has hired an army of Washington lobbyists and lawyers to argue its case, public records show, including Viet Dinh, a terrorism-policy expert and a director of News Corp., which owns The Wall Street Journal. In its communications with the FCC, Crest has raised national-security concerns about Clearwire's spectrum landing in the lap of a foreign owner; SoftBank is a Japanese company.
One thing Crest hasn't done is talk much with Clearwire. The fund's interaction with the company has been limited mainly to letters, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The Crest spokesman declined to comment on the issue.

In the final battle atop Ocelot's new Metal Gear, Snake will be forced to use
his fists to take out his maniacal rival. With the controls switching to
accommodate the one on one fight, players will use R1 to punch and L1 to
block. A firm press of R1 will engage a CQC mini-cutscene, and demand button
Liquid's not as hard as he seems. You just need to know the dos and don'ts of
the fight, and you'll be set to sock him silly.
What to do
- Punch, punch, punch, kick, kick. Snake's five hit combo, done by mashing R1
five or more times, is the most effective method to hurt Liquid/Ocelot. The
final kick, a vicious roundhouse, will often break Liquid's guard, and deals
the most damage.
- Dodge. Dodging to the side is more effective than guarding, though it poses
the risk of being hit. If you dodge, you can evade Liquid's attacks and get
the upper hand from the side instead of swallowing fist.
- Dash+Punch. Dashing with X and immediately following it up with a punch
deals more than the usual attack, though it requires more time to land than a
five hit combo.
- Hit 'em while he taunts. Ocelot will frequently give you his superbly
hilarious hand-gesture. If you happen to be standing, rush him and mess him up.
- Hug the poles. If you lure Liquid to walk up to you while standing behind a
post, he can't hit you 'til he comes around. It's hard for him to get to you
when your fist meets him before he can see you.
At halfway, Liquid will "change" to another "form" (his name on his
healthbar changes, one version of him offers a stamina bar for you to
deplete). Each time he does this, his style will change. After he stands up
post-Liquid Snake flashback, he will use his "power punch" which will knock
you down and deal out a serious amount of damage. The second time, don't stop
hitting R1, but make sure you're close enough to make contact with your
stretchy punch
What Not to Do
- Use CQC. It's annoying to hold R1 to choke him, if you manage to hold R1
long enough to get in a CQC attack. Even more annoying is missing the Triangle
attack prompt, which, if missed, allows your opponent to counter and hurt you
badly. By using combos, it's more difficult for Ocelot to counter, and you're
almost guaranteed contact.
- Stand near the edge. Snake's old. His balance isn't very good these days.
- Stop Blocking. If you stop blocking after Liquid throws a combo, you're
going to get flattened. The second you stop blocking and go on the offensive,
he'll throw a few punches in to your teeth. Dash and back off, don't stop
blocking when you start.
- Duck. Pressing X while standing still will make Snake drop for a quick
second. If you mess up the dodge, you're going to pay for it. Stressing it
again: run away instead.

While the ladies are mostly around to tote the kiddos around (and they do an awesome job at that!), there is one here for producing babies!
Straw In Her Jeans
Peaches has been with us the longest of the mares and earned the top spot on the Mare Page - Kristine purchased her back in early 2000 as a long yearling and has never had a thought of her leaving since! Peaches really doesn't need an introduction. She is a full sister to Straws Mighty Magnum and every bit as precious to us as Magnum is. Peaches was shown lightly as a 2-4 year old in open shows where she was always in the ribbons in halter, showmanship, western pleasure, hunter under saddle and games - although her strength is pleasure events! She attended one ApHC show where she and Kristine picked up a couple points. Her show career was then sidelined with a serious injury sustained while we lived in Alaska. She was pretty much retired until 2015 when we pulled her out of pasture to be Adam's walk/trot mount and Katy's leadline mount! While she doesn't move very nicely anymore due to her old, old injury, she is safe, steady, and the kids love her! ...and they've been busy racking up points all summer!PSSM1: N/N - GBED: N/N - HERDA: N/N - MH: N/N

Kyloe Miss Fortune
"Berreta" came to us very graciously from Crystal Pitkin as a horse for Katy after Katy lost her beloved Princess in Sept. 2015. While "Miss Bert" was enjoying retired life at Crystal's, I think she is really enjoying how much a 5 year old girl can spoil a horse! She and Katy already think the world of one another - and Miss Bert knows where those sugar cubes come from! Katy is hoping to show Miss Bert in leadline, halter and most colorful in the 2016 show season. Well, I should say, Mom is hoping for that. Katy thinks she's going to start showing walk trot... This has been a great partnership so far, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for these two. Maybe life at our house isn't such a tough retirement job! Miss Bert was previously Crystal's youth horse, but as with Mic, I am only going to keep track of the points the kids earn with her.

"Sugar" is here for retirement, too. We are hoping to get at least one Magnum baby out of her, but time will tell if that will happen. She is a big, soggy mare with quite a history. She's an own daughter of AQHA great Totally Impressed - making her a paternal sister to The Hunter, and out of Mighty Dialette a multiple National/World Champion mare. Sugar did spend a bit of time in the show ring, and has produced a handful of super nice babies.PSSM1: N/N - GBED: N/N - HERDA: N/N - MH: N/N

Dial Alice
Adam fell in love with Alice back in 2014 when he borrowed her for a few months to ride. When the opportunity came up for her to come live with us as a retirement home, he eagerly accepted. She is a sweet, sweet mare that is getting quite spoiled. She is an accomplished show horse and wonderful mom. We're glad to have her hered.
I got in trouble for not having Princess on here, so I figured I had better not make the same mistake with Kyle's new pride and joy, "Slash". Gail Smith had her standing around bored...and Kyle was in search of his first pony. The plan to pass Princess down to him wasn't going to work, so "Slash" joined the family. Mind you, she was named Sugarfoot - but a 3 year old boy didn't find that fitting and her name was quickly changed. Kyle will have his work cut out for him, but he is so proud of his pony. I can't wait for next summer when we are able to get working her a bit more!
In Memory of "Princess"
We only owned princess for just over 2 short years, but she and Katy had such a bond. Katy started riding Princess this spring and every time I or Abby & Adam would ride, she would ride Princess - and for the full hour we rode - just walking her around and around the rail or taking her over trail obstacles. When Katy found out she could be a Cloverbud in 4-H for 2015-2016, she immediately started working with Princess for SMS for our fair (July 2016). They spent hours each day together - walking around the farm, Princess grazing or getting brushed...Katy would tell her stories non-stop. It was seldom you saw Princess without her mane and tail braided or with a spec of dirt on her. Katy even used some of her birthday money to buy Princess a brand new lime green halter and lead just 2 weeks ago. They both had a stubborn streak a mile wide, but I think it made their partnership even better. I can't tell you how many times I cursed at this pony - (both under my breath and outloud!), but what I wouldn't give to have her back for Katy right now. May you rest in peace "Princess" AKA BL Easy Street. You will be missed. 6/5/91-9/18/15

Possible Release Of Strategic Petroleum Reserves: A Buying Opportunity For Oil 0 commentsSep 27, 2012 1:15 PM | about stocks: OIL
On 17 September 2012, speculation about a possible release of oil from the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve had immediate impact on the oil price. Since then, the oil price has dropped 10% from $100/barrel to $90/barrel. I believe this 10% drop in the oil price is overdone and investors should take this chance to buy into this dip. Moreover, I want to put a measurable number on the effect of the release of the SPR on the oil price. This article will focus on that impact on oil prices due to a possible release of the SPR, while keeping in mind what happened to the SPR historically. Let's start with defining the SPR.
The strategic petroleum reserves or SPR are only to be used during emergencies defined as follows:
- an emergency situation exists and there is a significant reduction in supply which is of significant scope and duration;
- a severe increase in the price of petroleum products has resulted from such emergency situation; and
- such price increase is likely to cause a major adverse impact on the national economy.
The biggest reason for this release of the SPR is obviously the turmoil in the Middle East of which I talked about here. Other reasons are said to be because of the presidential election. The question is, for how long can this release of the SPR put a lid on rising oil prices?
The strategic petroleum reserves are currently standing at 695 million barrels, while the U.S. uses 20 million barrels a day according to the Department of Energy. This means that the maximum supply of emergency oil can be calculated as 695/20 = 35 days of extra emergency oil supplies. It's unlikely though that the U.S. would release all of its SPR at once. It's more likely that the U.S. will release only a small part of its total SPR. The U.S. has only released its SPR a few times in history, the first time it released its SPR was on January 1991 and the last time was on 23 June 2011. All of these releases were on average in the amount of 30 million barrels. Which is about 1.5 days of supply, too few to have any significant long-term effect on the oil price.
The first release of SPR was on January 1991 under the Bush administration due to the war in Iraq. The U.S. released 17.3 billion barrels from its oil reserves. Oil prices had spiked from an average of $25/barrel to $50/barrel due to the Gulf War. After the release of SPR, the oil price returned to its average of $25/barrel. Last year on 23 June 2011, due to the Libyan crisis, the International Energy Agency (IEA) once again released 60 million barrels of oil, of which the U.S. contributed half of it. The effect was a 10% drop in oil prices. But the oil price quickly recovered a few months later.
To summarize the effects on the release of the SPR on the oil price I would like to mention that we will likely see a decline in the oil price immediately after the announcement. The price drop won't be much more than 10%. It is very likely that this release of the SPR will occur in the months of October-November 2012 just before the November 2012 elections. The likelihood will increase if oil prices start to rise in the coming weeks. Additionally, there is speculation that before the November 6 2012 U.S. election, Israel could strike Iran. If this strike were to happen, it will put additional upward pressure to the oil price. Investors need to bear in mind though, that oil prices have already dropped 10% since the chatter about the SPR release. If the oil price were to keep falling, due to negative economic news, there will be a smaller chance of a release of the SPR.
(click to enlarge) Chart 1: Light Crude to Gold Ratio
I believe the recent 10% drop in oil prices is overdone and should be a buying opportunity for investors, especially in terms of gold (Chart 1). The reason behind this logic is found in the amount of supply of the SPR, which is probably 1.5 days if we base ourselves on historic numbers. This supply of 1.5 days is too small to have any significant long-term effect on oil prices. Additionally QE3 was announced a few weeks ago and it should be very beneficial to the price of oil going forward. Investors can bet on a rebound in the price of oil by buying iPath Crude Oil ETN (NYSEARCA:OIL) or United States Oil Fund (NYSEARCA:USO).Stocks: OILBack To Katchum's Instablog HomePage »

Holla guys and gals! Recently I hired a math tutor to help me with some topics in algebra. My problem areas included topics such as how to solve quadratic equations in ti-83 plus and powers. Now that teacher turned out to be such a waste, that instead of helping me now I'm even more confused than I earlier was . I still can't crack problems on those topics. And the exam time is nearing. I need someone to help me out. Is there anything significant that can be done to get some sort of help? I have a good set of questions to help me learn these topics, but the problem is I just can't crack them, no matter how much I try . Please help!

Haha! absences are bothersome especially when you missed an important topic like how to solve quadratic equations in ti-83 plus that is really quite complex . Have you tried using Algebrator before? As of now, this is what I can suggest you to do: try that program and you'll have no problem understanding how to solve quadratic equations in ti-83 plus. It's very useful to use because it does not only solve math problems but it does explains by giving a detailed solution. Believe it or not, it made my quiz grades improve significantly because of this program. I just want to share this because I'm elated with the program's brilliance.

least common denominator, graphing and radical equations were a nightmare for me until I found Algebrator, which is really the best algebra program that I have ever come across. I have used it through many algebra classes – Algebra 2, Pre Algebra and Algebra 1. Simply typing in the math problem and clicking on Solve, Algebrator generates step-by-step solution to the problem, and my algebra homework would be ready. I highly recommend the program.
