Kyle Orton may not put up the biggest numbers, but he is an efficient quarterback who doesn't make alot of mistakes. Despite the fact that he seems to be stuck in Denver at this point, there are a few teams that could certainly use his services. This article looks at the 5 teams that should take a chance on him.
Kyle Orton Trade Speculation: 5 Teams That Should Make a Play
By Michael Kimble ,
After losing Bruce Gradkowski, the Raiders could certainly use Orton. Even though Orton may be going in as a backup, he could certainly compete with Jason Campbell for the starting job. This may not be the ideal spot for Orton, but it is certainly a spot where he would have a chance to succeed.
Tarvaris Jackson is now considered the starter in Seattle, but in his career, Jackson has been average at best, not being able to hold a starting job against the likes of Gus Frerotte or Joe Webb. Orton would be a much better choice for Seattle, as he has a much better arm and makes better decisions.
Ever since he was drafted with the first pick in 2005, Alex Smith has been a disappointment. However, he has been given countless chances to succeed in San Francisco. The 49ers would be smart to obtain Orton, as he has a chance to succeed in an offense with much promise, with players like Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree, and Vernon Davis.
Although the Broncos may have been asking too much for Orton, the Dolphins should consider giving the Broncos what they are asking. Orton is certainly a step up from their starter, Chad Henne, and can succeed in the offense, who recently acquired Reggie Bush, and already has one of the best receivers in the league in Brandon Marshall.
If the Redskins go with John Beck this year, they are in for a long season. Orton would obviously be a step up from the 3rd string quarterback with little experience, and he might even give the Redskins a chance to compete. If Beck is starting for the Redskins, Washington will have the worst quarterback situation in the league, and may need to call Denver early in the season to acquire Orton.

Clarence Keiser Hinkle
(1880-1960). Painter.
Clarence Hinkle was born in Auburn, CA on June 19, 1880. Early in life Hinkle moved with his family to a ranch outside of Sacramento where his father had a carriage painting business. When quite young he began art studies locally under William F. Jackson at the Crocker Art Gallery. Hinkle later moved to San Francisco and enrolled at the Mark Hopkins Institute under Arthur Mathews. He then studied at the ASL in NYC under Wm Chase and at the PAFA where he won the Cresson Scholarship for six years at Académie Colarossi and Ecole des Beaux Arts. While in Paris Clarence Hinkle was greatly influenced by the Impressionists and Pointillists. Upon his return in 1912, he established a studio in San Francisco and began exhibiting locally. Clarence Hinkle's works were considered avant garde and daring. After moving to Los Angeles in 1917, Hinkle accepted a teaching position at the School of Art & Design and became the first art instructor at the newly founded Chouinard School of Art in 1921. While continuing to teach in Los Angeles, Hinkle was a resident of Laguna Beach (a street is named for him there) until his final move in 1935 to a newly built home overlooking the harbor of Santa Barbara. During the 1940s he taught at the Santa Barbara School of Art and was active there until his death on July 20, 1960. His oeuvre includes landscapes, still lifes, portraits and figure paintings.

One 3- to 4-pound whole Smart Chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced thyme
Unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, snipped tiny, optional2-4 cloves garlic, more to taste, optional
- Preheat the oven to 400F. You don't have to rinse the Smart Chicken, but if you insist, rinse it and then dry it really well with paper towels, inside and out. (The less it steams, the drier the heat, the better).
- Salt and pepper the cavity. Add minced thyme. If using, add fresh rosemary and garlic. Now, apply approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of Kosher salt all over the outside the Smart Chicken. Season to taste with freshly cracked pepper.
- Place the chicken in a sauté pan, roasting pan, or on a V-shape roast holder. When the oven is up to temperature, put the Smart Chicken in the oven. You might want to loosely cover the Smart Chicken with aluminum foil to cut down on any smoke that might occur.

One of the Greatest Mistakes a Dentist Can Make
Here's the scenario:
If a patient presents with a dull ache in the joint before load testing and the three stages of load testing don't cause any additional discomfort, but there is still that same dull ache present throughout. Should you proceed to occlusal treatment?
If you answered yes, I caution you.
How to Deal with Another Dentist's Mistake
At one point or another in your career, you'll likely have a patient that was treated by another dentist who made some sort of mistake.
A Politically Incorrect View of "Successful" Dental Practices
Having had the advantage of more than 60 years in dentistry, I've had an opportunity to see the long-term differences that result from different attitudes about what it means to have a "successful practice."
When NOT to Use an Anterior Deprogramming Device
I was recently talking with a student who described a patient who could not load the joint comfortably. Additionally, the patient had severe wear, an uneven occlusal plane, broken crowns, and despite deprogramming with a cotton roll, he would feel quite a bit of tenderness when the TMJs were load tested.
How do you know when a patient needs a long centric?
When you're checking long centric, it's a postural closure, a very gentle closure from postural position where the jaw might posture slightly forward out of centric relation.
2 Common Mistakes When Load Testing
Load testing is an important part of verifying centric relation. The purpose is to verify that your patient is in centric after you think they are there. In order to master this technique, it takes a solid understanding of how the masticatory system works and some practice through repetition.
Time-Tested Process for Observing Symptoms of Occluso Muscle Disorder
In this blog article, Dr. Peter Dawson responds to a comment made on a previous article. The following was the comment:
It has been demonstrated repeatedly since 1997 that the relationship of bruxism to chronic craniofacial pain is non-linear. [1-4] In fact, 20% of the Raphael, et al, pain sample showed no bruxism. Lavigne lists among his finest work the discovery that sleep bruxism begins from an open mouth position with the action of the depressors. [5] This is not an "occlusal" problem beyond tooth wear, should the patient so decide.
That being said, the nature of the pain is such, particularly as it relates to headache, that keeping the posterior teeth apart with an appliance can prevent headache. As Mahan and Alling pointed out in their text [6], we have known that since 1960. [7]
Sessle, Dubner and colleagues have shown repeatedly that the pain of chronic M/TMD is not inflammatory. [8] Masticatory muscles are fatigue resistant over time, [9, 10] and the excess substance found is glutamate, not hydrogen ions from lactic acid in chronic craniofacial muscle pain. [11]
The blog post of April 25 is not supported by the current science.
How Does the Occlusal Plane Relate to the Anterior Teeth?
One of the most common mistakes I see in occlusal restorations is also the easiest mistake to observe. It is interference of the posterior teeth with the anterior guidance. A perfected occlusion allows the anterior teeth to contact in centric relation simultaneously, and with equal intensity with the posterior teeth. This harmony of contacts occurs with complete seating of the condyles at their most superior position, which is bone braced. This means that there is an ideal distribution of compressive contact starting at the TMJs, and continuing all the way through front tooth contact. This is the contact distribution that we want for centric relation.
When the jaw moves from centric relation, in a perfected occlusion only the anterior teeth contact. All posterior teeth distal to the cuspids should immediately separate. This is called "posterior disclusion". Separation of the posterior teeth should occur, whether the jaw moves forward or left or right from centric relation.
From the Inbox of Dr. Peter Dawson
Dr. Dawson receives emails and letters from clinicians all over the world asking questions and looking for clarification on all matters of Functional Occlusion and challenges in dentistry.
From: A Dentist in Canada
Subject: Long Centric
Explanation of "Long Centric"
Assumption: Dawson centric relation is valid beyond a shadow of a doubt. My 37 years of successful clinical experience validates the truth of this assumption.

Programming with Stackless Python
The Stackless extension brings lightweight processes to Python, opening a new style of programming with dynamic heap access.
Stackless Python by Christian Tismer extends the popular Python interpreter, adding elements that facilitate the development of scalable applications. Small, independent program sections are encapsulated in tasklets. These tasklets use channels to communicate in an approach reminiscent of the Erlang and Oz languages. The name Stackless refers to the encapsulated functions that tasklets allow to be swapped out from stack to heap (dynamic) memory. Data stored at this location can be accessed at any time, regardless of the order in which it arrived. Figure 1 shows how this approach can save memory, especially with parallel functions.

Many years ago, when I was trying and failing miserably to get pregnant, I spent a four-day weekend at the Himalayan Institute, a yoga ashram in Honesdale, Pa. While there, I told one of the yoga instructors about all of the problems in my body and my life. It all spilled out of me quickly, many of the words nearly slurred together: "I'm trying to get pregnant, but it's not happening and we're supposed to do it every other day, and I'm just getting sick of doing it, but we have to keep doing it or else we'll never have a baby, and I want to have a baby but, to be honest, I feel almost nothing down there. It's like I'm cut off from my hips, like that part of my body doesn't exist or something. I think my husband can tell, and I feel bad about this. I don't want him to take it personally. I can't get pregnant and I've tried everything. I need to open up my lower body chakras somehow. Any advice?"
With a deep look of compassion on her face, the yoga instructor asked, "Alisa, how do you feel about Child's Pose?"
It was a rhetorical question, one that she didn't wait for me to answer. If she had waited, though, I would have told her that Child's Pose was too easy, too boring, and too lacking in fitness benefits. My nickname for it: Slacker's Pose. It's what people did in the middle of class when they ran out of gas and couldn't possibly hold a Downward Facing Dog for a second longer.
She set up cushions and bolsters, asked me to rest myself onto them, and then simply said, "Stay there."
"For how long?" I asked.
I believe her answer was "a long time." I no longer remember. I do know this: At first I was convinced that the yoga teacher somehow hadn't understood my request. As the minutes ticked past, however, my body sunk into the cushions and I began to surrender. A deep sense of relaxation set in, and I began feeling familiar stirrings of excitement downstairs, if you know what I mean. I realized then that my problem wasn't physical. It was mental. I was wound too tight and, in order to conceive as well as get in the mood, I'd have to find some inner calm. Soon after that day, I missed a period. Then I peed on a stick and was greeted by a deep, unmistakable plus sign.
I was pregnant, and Child's Pose became my favorite yoga pose of all.
That was 10 years ago. Child's Pose isn't the only yoga pose that offers us lessons for our relationships. The vast majority of yoga poses are not just about yoga. They are about life. They teach us about ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Specifically, let's take a look at what 7 yoga poses have to teach us about our relationships.
7 Yoga Poses That Will Transform Your Relationship 1 of 8
What can yoga teach you about love, marriage, and romance? Click through the slideshow to find out.
Mountain Pose: Find the Right Balance 2 of 8
It looks easy. All you have to do is stand there, right? Soon, however, you learn that you are anchoring too much of your body weight in your right foot or that you are shifted too far forward onto your toes or too far back onto your heels. Suddenly just the act of standing up puts you off balance, and you find you want to lean on something. Yeah, that's Mountain Pose.
What it can teach you about your relationship: Relationships require us to balance our weight, too. Lean into your significant other too much and you become needy, too dependent, and a bit annoying. Lean too far back and you're distant and cold. When you stand on your own two feet and root yourself to a grounded and meaningful purpose, however, you achieve the right balance. Find the middle way.

Tree Pose: Look up During Hard Times 3 of 8
There are several tricks to staying balanced on just one foot. One of them: gazing upward. When you look down, your body follows your gaze in that direction. When you look up, you stay up.
What it can teach you about your relationship: Sometimes our relationships can feel a lot like balancing on one foot. We're wobbly and we worry that we'll completely fall over. During these times, it's tempting to look down, telling ourselves all of the reasons our relationship is doomed or our partner is horrible. This causes the relationship to falter even more. Instead, try looking up. Remind yourself that you've gotten through tough times before. You can do it again now. Every confrontation makes you stronger, brings you closer, and teaches you important lessons about yourself.

Wheel Pose: Keep Your Heart Open 4 of 8
The secret to any back-bending posture isn't necessarily flexibility in the lower spine. Often what separates those who can do Wheel Pose and those who can't: flexibility in the chest and shoulders. To do the pose correctly, you must lift and open your heart, not kink the life out of your lower back.
What it can teach you about your relationship: We're often guilty of putting too much back and not enough heart into our relationships. We think that throwing our weight around is important, but this often backfires, creating tension, coldness, and distance. Usually what we most need is love: a sincere wish for our partners to find happiness, and this is true even when our partners are causing us to feel emotional pain. When we keep this wish alive, we're more likely to understand where our partners are coming from and respond more effectively.

Headstand: Turn Your World Upside Down 5 of 8
When you turn your body upside down, you increase circulation back to your heart. This drains away fluid and congestion, leaving you feeling refreshed.
What it can teach you about your relationship: Sometimes our relationships require a similar upending. It's easy to get into a rut — doing the same things day after day. Things get stale. Dinner conversations become awkward. Bedroom life loses its oomph. But turning things upside down — sleeping on the other side of the bed, asking a question you've never asked before, trying a new activity together — can refresh your relationship and transform staleness into excitement.

Child's Pose: Rest with Your Partner 6 of 8
It might be a resting pose, but Child's Pose requires a careful alignment. When done correctly, it lengthens the spine, opens the heart, relaxes the back and allows you to completely let go.
What it can teach you about your relationship: Too often we forget to rest into our partners. This is especially true after the newness of a relationship has faded. Suddenly we are go-go-go with work and other commitments. We're glued to our phones, filled with tension and stress, and prioritizing work over love and family. Life and relationships require a balance. Build an oasis of rest into every day, and invite your spouse into that oasis.

Corpse Pose: Let Your Partner Support You 7 of 8
The final pose of any yoga class, Corpse Pose is deceptive and sometimes referred to as "the more difficult yoga pose of all." That's because it requires a complete surrender along with something that most of us find disconcerting: vulnerability. Yet when you allow the floor to support you and you just let go, you open yourself up to a deep sense of oneness.
What it can teach you about your relationship: Relationships require us to surrender, be vulnerable, and, occasionally, to allow our partner's to hold us or, at times, even carry us. Have the courage to occasionally be weak.
Photo credit: Robert Bejil, via Flickr and Wikimedia Commons
Namaste: See the Light in Your Spouse 8 of 8
At the end of every yoga class, everyone places their hands at their hearts and says "Namaste," which means "I bow to the light in you." This beautiful gesture helps you connect with the purest part of yourself — and teaches you to acknowledge that purity in others.
What it can teach you about your relationship: Imagine how your relationship would change if several times a day you took time to notice and feel grateful for your partner's best qualities. Too often we only notice the negative: the dishes that didn't get washed, that eye roll that our significant other didn't manage to hide, the missed birthday card, and on and on. We must make a special effort to notice the positive, and especially the positive goodness that we experience so often, but take completely for granted. A mental Namaste in the morning and in the evening will help you to remember and champion the best in your spouse so you can stay in love.

Ghana Power Compact
- Grant Total: $498,200,000
- Grant Committed: $12,991,983
- Grant Expended: $11,296,334
- Signed: August 5, 2014
- Entry Into Force: September 6, 2016
The Millennium Challenge Corporation will invest up to $498.2 million to support the transformation of Ghana's power sector and stimulate private investment. The five-year Ghana Power Compact seeks to create a financially viable power sector that will meet the current and future needs of households and businesses—and ultimately help fight poverty across the country.
The compact will play a critical role in Power Africa, the U.S. Government's initiative to double access to power on the African continent. The Ghana Power Compact is the largest U.S. Government transaction to date under Power Africa and will serve as an anchor for increased American engagement in Ghana.
At the heart of the compact is a strong commitment from the Government of Ghana to implement reforms needed to transform its power sector and put it on a path to profitability and sustainability, ultimately creating a climate that will attract private investment. The government has also pledged to invest at least $37.4 million of its own money, and the compact is expected to catalyze at least $4.6 billion in private energy investment and activity from American firms in the coming years.
Financials as of June 30, 2016
The $10 million project will test the most cost effective approaches to address the key constraints that micro, small and medium enterprises in markets and economic enclaves face in obtaining safe and legal access to electricity. This small project is designed to be innovative; it will test several different interventions aimed at reducing critical barriers to legal connections for these businesses in a small sample of markets and economic enclaves and provide evidence of effective approaches to increasing access for the distribution utilities with the intent of facilitating scale up of those interventions in the future.
The project aims to improve the governance and management of this Ghanaian electricity distribution utility by bringing in a private sector operator and making infrastructure and foundational investments designed to reduce losses and improve service quality.
The project includes investments to attract private sector participation, support integrated loss management, reduce distribution system vulnerability to theft and meter manipulation, lower thermal losses in the distribution systems, and reduce the frequency and duration of outages by introducing improved system protection and sectionalizing devices in the distribution system.
The $25.4 million project will help improve energy efficiency and demand-side management policies and support investments to cost-effectively bridge the gap between supply and demand. The project will develop and enforce energy-efficient standards and labelling, build capacity for improved energy auditing, launch a public-awareness campaign to promote energy efficiency, and launch a pilot project to introduce distributed applications like solar photovoltaic backup power for lighting and electronics, off-grid solar systems, and grid-connected solar systems.
The project will initially provide $5 million in technical assistance to improve operations of the Northern Electric Distribution Company (NEDCo), a distribution utility that serves the northern regions of the country. No later than the conclusion of the first year of compact implementation, MCC will evaluate economic rates of return for possible system and infrastructure investments. If resulting ERRs are acceptable, MCC will make investments up to $49.2 million.
The $16.3 million project prioritizes the alleviation of major constraints to private sector investment in generation. The project will leverage ongoing advisory support provided by USAID to operationalize Ghana's "gas to power" plan and commercialize the country's gas sector; support the development of an independent power producer framework that addresses generation, transmission, distribution and demand-side management in a holistic and integrated fashion; and fund a technical feasibility subject to provide a "shovel-ready" project to increase the country's import of liquefied natural gas.
The $5 million project aims to improve the regulatory monitoring and independent verification of sector performance and improve the tariff review process by supporting studies that will provide critical inputs to the redesign of the tariff structure.

Chef Tse's Dover Sole with Crunchy Summer Salad
With summer just around the corner, this fresh and flavorful dish comes together in about 30 minutes. Substitute any of the vegetables in the salad for seasonal favorites like asparagus, cucumber, beans or even tomatoes. If you can't find sole, try any light flakey fish such as snapper.
Serves 4
- 1/2 medium shallot, peeled and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons dry white wine, such as Chardonnay
- 8 Dover Sole fillets, about 2 to 3 ounces each
- 1/4 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- 16 sugar snap peas, thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and shaved into ribbon with vegetable peeler
- 5 radishes, cut in half and thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/2 small lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub bottom of an 8x8 Pyrex baking dish with butter. Sprinkle shallot over top and pour in wine. Season fish lightly with salt. Starting with end of one fillet, roll fish up and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining fish. Bake in oven until fish is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes depending on thickness of fillets.
In a medium bowl, toss together remaining ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide salad among plates and place two fish fillets on each plate. Spoon some of sauce in baking dish over fish and serve immediately.

Lilo & Stitch
- Directed by Chris Sanders (III)
StoryWarm, funny, and imaginative, Lilo & Stitch is the best animated feature the Walt Disney Studios have produced in years. On the planet Turo, mad scientist Jumba Jookiba (voice by David Ogden Stiers) has created a miniature monster programmed for destruction. When the monster escapes to Earth, it's adopted as a pet and named "Stitch" by Lilo (Daveigh Chase), a lonely little Hawaiian girl. Lilo and her older sister Nani (Tia Carrere) have been struggling to stay together since their parents died. Stitch and Lilo share some hilarious adventures, evading welfare officer Cobra Bubbles (Ving Rhames) and galactic police agents. They learn the timely lesson that a family can be something you're born into--or something you assemble. A warmth and sincerity that recall The Iron Giant and the films of Hiyao Miyazaki make Lilo a delightful fantasy adults and children can truly enjoy together. --Charles Solomon

Memoir recalls painful struggle with polio
Jerry Apps' nightmare arrived in the middle of the night in a setting Stephen King would have loved: an isolated Waushara County farmhouse buried under January snows.
This nightmare began in 1947 with what seemed like a simple sore throat, but the horror quickly seeped into Apps' right leg, paralyzing it at an angle. At age 12, Apps had been stricken with polio, and his world would never be the same. »Read Full Article
'Catch Me if You Can' has trouble getting airborne at Marcus Center
By the time he was 21, Frank Abagnale had cashed more than $2 million in bad checks, while passing himself off as a pilot, doctor and lawyer.
Not to be outdone, the low-budget "Catch Me if You Can," on stage at the Marcus Center through Sunday, spends more than two interminable hours impersonating various ideas of a decent show. True to the maxim that form follows content, it doesn't just tell the story of a fake. It also gives us one, at thrice the price of other shows now playing in town. »Read Full Article(8)

On Tap for Today: Art, talk and books
Some of the most promising artists and designers in our city are at the jumping-off point in their careers -- and we are invited for a peek. If you haven't been to the senior thesis exhibition at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, today is a great day to pop in. Today is MIAD Define Day, a campus-wide event that involves discussions and inquiry. Much of that will be happening within the thesis show at MIAD, 273 E. Erie St. Gallery hours are from 10 to 5 p.m.
I checked in with the guys from The Disclaimer, which airs most Wednesdays at noon on WMSE (FM 91.7). It sounds like they are warming up to talk about issues surrounding a new stadium for the Bucks and also proposed new lighting for the Hoan Bridge. You can stream the show online, too. »Read Full Blog Post

I am trying to find customer service to get a return form.
My dress is very pretty, but does not fit my short waisted body. I thought I would have better luck with a dress without a waist, but it is too tight in the hips probably because of my short waist.

Old Parkland Hospital Officially Introduced As Crow's New Nest
Harlan Crow plans on having an open-door policy with employees at his new office at Old Parkland Hospital since, well, there is no door leading into his office, which is really in a hallway.
Much to our delight, Harlan Crow this morning invited local media over to the renovated Old Parkland Hospital for a tour of his favorite project -- the new headquarters for Crow Holdings. Patrick Michels and I took the short walk across the street and were quickly greeted by Crow executives Gina Norris and Anne Raymond, along with Crow himself.
The hospital, which we last saw September 10, has been beautifully restored, highlighted by its mahogany veneer panels, limestone flooring and open spaces. It's so open, in fact, that Crow's office has just one wall. Before the press conference, Crow led Unfair Park on a brief tour, which included a look at the two conference rooms adjacent to his office. Both rooms featured fireplaces, and one had a bizarre ram's head sitting on a table which is supposed to hold tobacco, but he described it simply as "a conversation piece."
See the ram's head and other photos from our tour after the jump.
At the press conference, Crow spoke very briefly, thanking everyone involved in the renovations and saying he was happy to be moving in next week. After his comments, he leaned to me and said, "No questions about the hotel," expecting that I was about to corner him for some convention center hotel chitchat.
Upcoming Events
Later on, Patrick and I got the full tour, and he's put up a slide show right here, which includes pics of the statue of Trammell Crow, outside fire pit, barber shop, fitness center and all the other goodies.
The Nurses Quarters next to the hospital is still under renovations and already has tenants waiting for its opening in June 2009. Around the same time, the first new building on the land, Woodlawn Hall, is also scheduled to open.
So how much did all this cost? "I know it's your job to ask, but they won't be releasing the number," says Crow's media contact, Rita Cox. "What I can tell you is that it cost much more to renovate Old Parkland than it would have been to tear it down and build it from scratch."
Perhaps most satisfying for Crow is all the letters he's received from people who had worked in the hospital and have seen the renovations, some of which were on display. "I've received hundreds of them," he says, "and it makes all this worthwhile."
We've also got a set of vintage photos, with shots of the hospital before the renovation.--Sam Merten

Hanjin Energy to Sell Stake in S-Oil to Saudi Aramco for $2 Billion
Korean Air Unit's Deal Part of Efforts to Ease Troubles at Parent
SEOUL—Hanjin Energy Co. plans to sell a stake in S-Oil Corp. 010950 -1.31 % , a South Korean refiner, to Saudi Arabian Oil Co. for $2 billion as part of efforts to ease financial troubles at parent company Korean Air Lines Co. 003490 -0.16 %
At a board meeting Wednesday, Hanjin Energy approved the plan to sell its entire 28.4% stake, or 31.98 million shares, in S-Oil to the world's largest crude exporter, known as Saudi Aramco.
The S-Oil stake sale is scheduled to be completed on Aug. 27, but the plan could change depending on the approval of the deal by financial authorities, Hanjin Energy said in a regulatory filing.
Aramco Overseas Co., a unit of state-run Saudi Aramco, said it has agreed in principle to acquire the stake as the deal is contingent on the execution of formal agreements and regulatory approvals.
"This transaction underscores Saudi Aramco's confidence in the Korean economy and its strategy to enhance its presence in the growing Asian markets and AOC's commitment to S-Oil growth," Khalid al-Falih, Aramco's chief executive, said in a statement.
Korean Air, which wholly owns Hanjin Energy, has said that it would sell noncore assets, including the S-Oil shares, to raise 3.5 trillion won ($3.5 billion) to pay back debts, with its gross debt outweighing its equity by eight to one.
The Korean flag carrier's financial structure has also worsened after the company provided assistance to financially troubled affiliate Hanjin Shipping Co. 117930 5.82 %
The two companies have struggled with deteriorating cash flow and heavy losses because of weak travel demand and overcapacity in the shipping industry.
Saudi Aramco, S-Oil's largest shareholder, currently owns 35% of the refiner.
Hanjin Energy bought its stake in S-Oil for 2.4 trillion won in 2007.

Local government is usually the last place the Legislature looks to find extra money, but the state budget deficit has forced lawmakers to take desperate steps.

During the past year, lawmakers have taken money that was intended to pay for local services, limited cities' ability to collect fees, and hoisted new burdens onto the shoulders of city officials who are trying to overcome the same economic conditions that ravaged two consecutive state budgets.Read More »

Q From Marian Herman in the USA; related questions came from Anne Ackroyd in Australia, Richard Lathom in the USA, and others: I am not familiar with the term cock-up that you used in a recent column, and am interested in both its meaning and its derivation. It is not a phrase that is commonly used in the United States — indeed, it has connotations that would keep many from using it in a column read by so many subscribers!
A Oddly, in British English it is not these days a vulgarism, or at least only a very mild one. It comes from one of several senses of cock, to bend at an angle, as in — for example — cocking a gun or turning up the brim of one's headgear (so producing an old-time naval officer's cocked hat).
The use of cock-up to mean a blunder or error was originally British military slang dating from the 1920s. The slang sense of cock clearly had a lot to do with its adoption, but this hasn't stopped it being used in respectable publications, and modern British dictionaries mark it merely as informal or colloquial.
The longer phrase I used it in, "a cock-up on the [something] front" was coined in a BBC television comedy The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin some 20 years ago and has become a minor catchphrase. The original was "there's been a bit of a cock-up on the catering front", which was spoken by a former army officer, not over-blessed with savvy, who was totally confused by civilian life and had either forgotten to buy any food, or run out of money to do so.
[I'm indebted to Nigel Rees for confirming the provenance of this catchphrase.]

Orange Glazed Green Beans and Butternut Squash
Citrus is a great compliment to ham but instead of glazing your ham, glaze your green beans and butternut squash in this festive side dish.
Lesson learned: get a flu shot every year. This year was the first in 8 that I did not get a flu shot, mainly because I couldn't get it for free anymore (oh how I miss the perks of being a student), and sure enough the flu found me on Christmas Eve of all days. I've been slowly recovering since with my biggest achievement coming in the form of a shower. Hooray cleanliness!
Before I realized what my sniffles were leading up to, I did help cook dinner on Christmas Eve for my parents (thankfully they had already passed the illness, likely to me). The menu consisted of smoked country ham from Benton's, my dad's homemade applesauce, cheddar biscuits, rosemary mac and cheese, and orange glazed green beans and butternut squash. I often pair ham with a citrus glaze but since we went with a smoked ham this year the citrus element went into the side dish instead. And it was the favorite part of the meal.

Boozy Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
Throw that leftover pie into a blender with some ice cream and make a milkshake! Add rum for a boozy adult beverage and don't forget the fresh whipped cream.
Alright smart phone users, what apps (preferably free) does this smart phone novice need to check out for my fancy new phone? I am getting obvious things like facebook, twitter, instagram, and waze but beyond that I'm a bit clueless. So tell me what you use most and why. I've been in the dark so long my parents and their friends probably know more about smart phones than I do.
And now for your Thanksgiving desert leftovers, if you were lucky enough to have any. Sometimes pie is so good you wish you could drink it with a straw. Well, now you can! Blend up a slice, crust and all, along with some ice cream and a bit of rum and you'll be ready to cozy up in front of the fire. Or in my case, I drank it while watching foot ball last night. The Ohio State vs Michigan game was a close one but thankfully we were victorious. Unfortunately our QB JT Barrett is injured and out for the remainder :-(.

Sweet Potato Casserole Pancakes with Cranberry Sauce Syrup
Reinvent your Thanksgiving leftovers in the form of pancakes, using sweet potato casserole and cranberry sauce. You'll be so glad you had leftovers to make these!
I hope everyone had plenty to eat yesterday! I had the luxury of having two different kinds of turkey, turkey breast roulade (which I had originally planned on making for Friendsgiving) and fried turkey. Both were very moist and packed with flavor and I am excited for the leftovers. Especially since the only way I will ever have fried turkey again is if someone else cooks it like yesterday. I wouldn't trust myself around that big of a pot of boiling hot peanut oil.
Speaking of leftovers, in case you get bored with sandwiches, reinvent your leftovers into an entirely different option such as these pancakes. Made with leftover sweet potato casserole (or butternut squash in my case) and leftover cranberry sauce. Go ahead and make these for all your visitors staying at your home this holiday weekend, especially if anyone was crazy enough to go out shopping.

Gingered Turkey & Rice Soup with Basil
Jazz up your Thanksgiving leftovers with this soup using leftover turkey, homemade stock, fresh ginger, wild rice, and basil. So good you'll want to set aside turkey to make it.
You know you are a food blogger when: you are cooking leftover Thanksgiving recipes before Thanksgiving even occurs because you cooked your Thanksgiving turkey 2 weeks ago. Ah yes the constant dilemma of living up to a month ahead of the holidays. I sometimes feel like the retail stores, pushing Christmas before we've even started putting together Thanksgiving plans. But when it comes to recipes, what good is the recipe for the turkey made on Thanksgiving Day posted the day after Thanksgiving? Are your really going to remember to dig out that recipe next year? So the recipes for turkey and all the other usual suspects seen on Thanksgiving tables are posted a at least a week in advance providing time for you fine readers to prepare your own Thanksgiving meal, whether you are hosting or just bringing a side dish or dessert.
Of course one of the best things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers! And my favorite thing to do with leftovers year-round is to repurpose them into an entirely new meal. Last year I threw together a quick single serving turkey noodle soup using leftover veggies, turkey, and even gravy watered down and used as the broth. This year I waved my jazz hands around a bit and made a gingered turkey soup with wild rice, homemade stock, and basil sprinkled on top right before serving (adapted from a recipe I recently saved on Girl Carnivore). The ginger was such a fantastic addition to the flavors of this soup and quickly became my new favorite Thanksgiving leftovers recipe.

Roasted Poultry Stock
Save your leftover turkey bones and innards this Thanksgiving and make your own poultry stock to use in your favorite comfort soups and stews during cold month.
When you think of pets, certain toys are associated with cats and dogs. For cats it's little balls with bells in them, catnip-stuffed animals, and string or wands with a string and a little object on the end. For dogs it's balls, ropes, bones, kongs, and stuffed animals. While my cat enjoys his share of stringed and jingly things his favorite toys are a fuzzy kong octopus and a tennis ball. He loves rolling on his side/back while hugging either of those objects with his font paws, kicking at it with his back paws, and biting it (it's obscenely adorable btw but he moves too fast to get pictures). I'm beginning to wonder if he doesn't think he is a dog. He did spend the first 2 years of his life living with my roommate at the time's two toy fox terriers. I used to think that he got along so well with them because he thought they were cats, but maybe he thinks he is a small dog? He is awfully needy and by my side at all times. Who knows, he is cute and he is mine.
Anyway, I rambled on about that much longer than I had intended. Originally I had planned on just saying "Hey guess what? My cat's favorite toy is a tennis ball." and leave it at that, but apparently I had much more to say on the subject.
Unfortunately Thankfully it has absolutely nothing to do with today's recipe.
After you gut your turkey next Thursday, cut out its spine (if spatchcocking), and then cook and devour it leaving the bones behind – don't throw it out! You have some quality ingredients on your hands. I know all that stuff looks gross but I promise, just throw it all in a pot of water with some roasted vegetables and herbs. Not only will your house continue to smell like thanksgiving dinner, you'll also be on your way to some easy, homemade poultry stock. Then you can use it to make leftover turkey soup, or any of those other cozy fall/winter soups and stews I know you are planning to make in order to survive the cold weather. (Which by the way, my friends in upstate NY got pounded with some serious snow this week. I kind of miss it… and then I don't.)
Some of my favorite comfort soups that I will make with the stock:
