On March 8, 2013, Joni Eareckson Tada, founder and chief executive officer of Joni and Friends International Disability Center, pulled the curtain back on her own heart, marriage, and life journey, speaking on "Disability and the Gospel" to a packed-out chapel on March 8. This conference is part of Biblical's Conversations on Christianity & Culture lecture series. Jerry Borton, director of Joni and Friends Philadelphia; Dr. Michael Beates, Biblical alum and author; and Dr. Diane Langberg, psychologist and Biblical clinical faculty, joined Joni and advocated on behalf of those with disabilities.
Joni, who became paralyzed from the shoulders down as a result of a diving accident at 17, has allowed God to use her suffering as a platform for evidencing His love, goodness, sovereignty, and glory. She spoke of the rich, intimate relationship she shares with her husband, but also of the long, painful journey they've travelled. She transparently spoke of how her disability, recent battle with breast cancer, and chronic pain are a "bruising of a blessing" and have "driven her into the arms of [her] Savior." She referred to her wheelchair as an instrument of her own sanctification and exhorted those in attendance with the truth that God will remove anything that stands in the way of relationship with Him, and how on this side of heaven, that is true healing.
Joni, Jerry, Mike, and Diane imparted a deeper theology of suffering and confidence in God's goodness in the midst of suffering while challenging those in attendance to consider how they might develop reciprocating relationships with brothers and sisters with disabilities. There were not many, if any, who walked away from the conference unchanged.
Why Missional Theology is Right for the Church of the 21st Century
On November 12, 2012, Chris Wright was here and spoke to a packed house. If you were unable to join us for the evening or would like to listen again, check back here soon for our mp3 of the lecture.
Click here to listen to Dr. Wright's presentation.
The Rev. Dr. Chris Wright, Langham Partnership's International Director, is an Irishman who lives in London, with his heart firmly planted in the Majority World! Chris has pastored a local parish church, taught at a top seminary in India, served as President of a key Christian college, and authored 20 books including Old Testament Ethics and The Uniqueness of Jesus, The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible's Grand Narrative, and The Mission of God's People (The Biblical Theology for Life).
Faithful Presence: Engaging Our Culture in the 21st Century
On Friday, December 2, Biblical Seminary held its fourth lecture in the series, Conversations on Christianity & Culture, featuring Dr. James Davison Hunter, author of To Change the World: the irony, tragedy, and possiblity of Christianity in the late modern world, and LaBrosse-Levinson Distinguished Professor of Religion, Culture and Social Theory at the University of Virginia.
Faithful presence is not about changing culture, let alone the world, but instead emphasizes cooperation between individuals and institutions in order to make disciples and serve the common good. "If there are benevolent consequences of our engagement with the world," Hunter writes, "it is precisely because it is not rooted in a desire to change the world for the better but rather because it is an expression of a desire to honor the creator of all goodness, beauty, and truth, a manifestation of our loving obedience to God, and a fulfillment of God's command to love our neighbor."
The conference also featured special guests, Pennsylvania State Senator Stewart Greenleaf, and Katherine Leary Alsdorf, Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Faith and Work at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC. Senator Greenleaf shared his thoughts on a Faithful Presence in politics, and Ms. Alsdorf duiscussed Faithful Presence in the meaningful integration of people's faith and their professional work.
The Biblical Call: A Christian Response to Human Trafficking and Sexual Abuse
Imagine a group of women held against their will after being gathered from all over the of world to be sold off like merchandise at a department store. Their only hope is the arrival of a hero to free them from their captivity.
Think this is a farfetched idea?
Human trafficking is not only a real problem in other parts of the world, but also in our own neighborhoods. It may not look like what you see on TV or in the movies, but human trafficking rings do exist. Unfortunately, they will often go unnoticed by almost everyone within the community.
As Christians, we have a responsibility to help those that are in need. Biblical Seminary hosted a three day conference entitled "The Biblical Call: A Christian Response to Human Trafficking and Sexual Abuse" which dealt with this very issue. Dr. Diane Langberg, Bethany Hoang, Pearl Kim, and Bob Morrison all delivered pertinent information on how this issue should be handled. The impact of the conference was felt by all of the attendees, and prompted the President of Biblical Seminary, Dr. Dave Dunbar, to state:
Proclaiming "freedom for the captives" is an essential part of the gospel according to Jesus (Luke 4:16-21). This conference challenged all of us to make that a serious part of our discipleship.Dr. David Dunbar, Biblical Seminary President

They survived a decade at the hands of their captor. Now, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus will tell their amazing story of survival in a book.
According to James R. Wooley of Jones Day, who represents the women, DeJesus and Berry will be in control of telling their story, but will get help writing the book from several people including Mary Jordan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who is a native of Cleveland, the city where the women were held captive for more than a decade.
In a statement, Wooley said, "Many have told, and continue to tell this story in ways that are both inaccurate and beyond the control of these young women. Our clients have a strong desire for privacy, but it is a reality that confronts them every day. Gina, Amanda and their families have decided to take control and are now interested in telling the story of what happened to them."
The story will be, "..above all else, about human dignity and human survival," according to Wooley.
DeJesus and Berry, along with Michelle Knight, were rescued on May 6 after being kidnapped, abused and held hostage for a decade.

Jewish Relief Agency
The Jewish Relief Agency is the largest provider of food assistance to Jewish families in need in the Greater Philadelphia region and is the third largest direct-service food pantry in our area. Our monthly food distribution, started in 2000, now assist over 3,000 low income households. For many recipients, the food from JRA means the difference between having enough to eat and going without.
One Sunday each month, JRA brings together 750-1000+ volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to pack and deliver boxes of fresh produce and non-perishable pantry items to over 3,000 needy families.
We realize that many of our recipients need help beyond the monthly box of food. In 2011, we launched JRAid, a dynamic web-based program which matches volunteers with people in need of assistance with everyday chores. JRAidvolunteers can sign up to help in a variety of ways, such as providing a ride to the doctor, doing some simple yard work, purchasing a supermarket gift card, or simply visiting a homebound senior. Volunteers can also make micro-donations to help cover the costs of larger projects that require a qualified professional.

Various Muster activities, including dinner and a speaker, will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Hogg Plum Texas in Karnes City. All former and current students, their families, and friends of Texas A&M University are invited to attend. Hogg Plum is located off of Riddleville Road past the Karnes City Cemetery.
The Texas Aggie Muster tradition, which spans more than a century, will be observed in more than 300 locations around the world. These Muster gatherings are held in many unique places ranging from battleships and foxholes during World War II to ballrooms and steak houses today.
Over the years, Aggie Muster has grown to be one of Texas A&M's most revered traditions. Muster honors the memories of A&M men and women whose deaths prevent them from answering Roll Call at this year's Muster. The Roll Call is a roster compiled of all former and current students who have died over the past year. As each name is called, a friend or family member will answer "here!" symbolizing that their memory lives on in the hearts of Aggies everywhere. Muster is more than just a ceremony; it is also an annual way for Aggies to renew the loyalty and unity which constitute the foundation of their friendship for each other as well as their love and devotion for their school.
For more information regarding the Texas Aggie Muster held in Karnes City, please contact Muster Chair Emily Gotthardt at 830-583-6003 or by email at email@example.com.

Anti-American Indian Politics, Washington State Style
The behavior of Scott Brown, his staff and supporters in Massachusetts' U.S. Senate race shined a light on anti-Indian racism in American politics. Video capturing Brown's followers in the thralls of "war whoops" and "tomahawk chops" offended Native and non-Native people and drew condemnation from Cherokee National Principal Chief Bill John Baker.
Here in Washington State, our own brand of anti-Indian politics can be seen in the race for Governor—not the vulgar, highly visible kind like back east, but the variety that allies state political authority with groups and individuals that attack the sovereignty and treaty rights of Indian Nations.
Our state's version has been practiced by Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna. In a report titled Trampling on the Treaties: Rob McKenna and the Politics of Anti-Indianism, we document Mr. McKenna's willingness to ally with anti-Indian leaders and promote policies at odds with tribal rights.
We do not use the term "anti-Indian" lightly. By this we mean groups and individuals who seek to terminate tribal governments and break treaties between Indian Nations and the United States. There is no question that Rob McKenna has allied his office with such politics.
In 2007, Attorney General McKenna appointed Barbara Lindsay of One Nation United to his Task Force on Eminent Domain. That same year, McKenna's office gave legal advice to Lindsay amidst the ongoing "culverts case," the latest phase of U.S. v. Washington (aka the Boldt Decision). The current phase addresses whether federal courts will recognize that the state's habitat-blocking culverts violate tribes' treaty-reserved "right of taking fish" by diminishing salmon stocks. McKenna's office advised Lindsay on making her group's anti-treaty legal strategy more effective.
Barbara Lindsay is the former Executive Director of Steelhead/Salmon Protection Action for Washington Now, or S/SPAWN. In the 1980s, S/SPAWN led the effort to abrogate treaty rights and end tribal co-management of fisheries resources. Lindsay later led United Property Owners of Washington, United Property Owners, and then One Nation United. All of these entities opposed tribal rights.
In 2008, Rob McKenna attempted to nominate Elaine Willman for the state's Executive Ethics Board. Willman is the former chair of the national anti-Indian group Citizens Equal Rights Alliance. A current administrator for Hobart Village, Wisconsin, Willman has declared that the United States should not recognize treaties and that the Constitution ended tribal sovereignty. Both are false, offensive and racist. Mr. McKenna apparently thought Willman worthy of guiding state ethics policies.
Rob McKenna matches these alliances with his own opposition to tribal rights. In 1997, while serving on the Metropolitan King County Council, McKenna and fellow council member Kent Pullen (himself a onetime S/SPAWN advisor) attempted to impose county regulations on the Muckleshoot Tribe, a violation of tribal sovereignty. More recently, briefs filed by McKenna's office in the culverts case include passages strikingly similar to S/SPAWN literature of the 1980s, attempting to pit tribal treaty rights against the state's citizens. The Attorney General's briefs provide a ready-made framework for backlash against tribes.
Rob McKenna is not the same political animal as Barbara Lindsay or Elaine Willman. He is not wholly dedicated to terminating tribal governments and abrogating treaties. However, as our report documents, when legal gray areas exist (as they frequently do in federal Indian law), and Rob McKenna perceives a state interest at issue, he will oppose the rights of Indian Nations and ally with anti-Indian activists to achieve his goals. The myriad cabinet, board and commission appointments made by the state's top executive would give a Governor McKenna ample opportunity to elevate such purveyors of anti-Indianism to positions of public trust.
Rob McKenna's actions violate the pledge our state made in the 1989 Centennial Accord to respect tribal sovereignty and build genuine government-to-government relations with Indian Nations. McKenna is not good for Washington State or the Pacific Northwest.
Chuck Tanner and Leah Henry-Tanner are long-time human and civil rights activists. They live in Kitsap County where they do community education about tribal treaty rights and sovereignty. A copy of their report can be obtained by request at email@example.com.

CNJ staff
ABILENE, Texas — Eastern New Mexico University and Hardin Simmons played to a 1-1 tie in men's soccer on Tuesday, withthe match cut short by lightning and looming darkness early in the first overtime.
Trailing 1-0, the Greyhounds (7-3-2) pulled even when junior foward Emerson Rodrigues scored nearly 18 minutes into the second half after taking a pass from freshman midfielder Kal Herbert. It was the 30th goal for Rodrigues since coming to ENMU last year.
The Cowboys (5-1-3), members of the NAIA American South Conference, drew first blood when Cody McGrath scored just over eight minutes into the contest on an assist from Zach Johnson.
Each team managed five shots on goal in the match, with ENMU's Alistair Caldwell and Hardin Simmons' Logan Waters credited with four saves in goal. Overall, the Cowboys had an 18-10 advantage in shots and a 10-3 margin on corner kicks.
The match only went 84 seconds into overtime before play was stopped. After a wait of about 15 minutes, it was determined that the teams would not have enough light to resume.
The Hounds hit the road again this weekend, traveling to Alamosa, Colo., for a non-league matchup against Adams State. ENMU defeated the Grizzlies earlier this season in Portales.
Next Tuesday, the Hounds start a four-match homestand with a 4 p.m. non-league outing against Texas-Permian Basin.

Drownings prompt warnings in rain-scoured VtBy Eric Blaisdell
STAFF WRITER | July 06,2013AP Photo
A home is surrounded by floodwaters Thursday in Waterbury Center. Flash flooding from a series of heavy downpours in parts of Vermont sent streams overflowing banks and damaged roads and railbeds.Gov. Peter Shumlin is urging Vermonters to be careful where they swim as rain continues to swell and speed up rivers and brooks across the state.
Vermont has been inundated with rain for weeks, and the water has caused road closures and flooding across the state. At least two people have drowned recently.
Rescue crews Friday pulled the body of Steven Orvis, 26, from the New Haven River in Bristol.
Orvis disappeared Thursday, two days after Jesse Belcher, 16, of Barre died in a swimming accident in the swollen Stevens Branch.
A 24-year-old Massachusetts man also was found dead Friday in Lake Groton. An autopsy was being done to determine the cause of death.
"It's heartbreaking that we're losing a Vermonter a day in brooks and rivers that Vermonters have always swum in but find that it is a different brook or river than it was two weeks ago," Shumlin said.
"The water is moving so quickly that it is reconfiguring brook and river beds," he said. "Therefore, I am urging Vermonters to be very cautious about swimming at all, and if they do, just make sure that it is far from rocks and waterfalls."
The Vermont Health Department echoed Shumlin's sentiment about safety first.
"The recent drownings in Barre and Bristol are tragic and we want to reiterate our warning — many swim areas that are usually not hazardous are now unsafe," said Health Commissioner Harry Chen. "Even the strongest, expert swimmer can be swept away."
The department says roughly half of all drowning deaths in Vermont occur in natural water settings such as lakes, ponds and rivers.
Shumlin also urged Vermonters to be very cautious when driving in standing water as more flooding is expected.
As for the roads, he said around 200 workers with the Agency of Transportation are out 24 hours a day to open closed roads and stay ahead of crumbling roads and bridges.
"The damage to both town and state infrastructure is extensive, and it's going to take us time to get back on our feet," the governor said.
To that end, Shumlin said representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be in the state Tuesday to assess the damage caused by rain and flooding in Chittenden, Washington and Windsor counties, as well as parts of Lamoille County. He said the state will be seeking federal assistance as millions of dollars in damage has already been done and more rain is expected into next week.
Brian Searles, secretary of the Agency of Transportation, said in a statement that the rough estimate of damage to state roads as of Friday is in excess of $3 million. Damage to the New England Central Railroad in Roxbury is estimated at $750,000 and was under repair.
Amtrak is looking to restore train service to its Vermonter line sometime this weekend, after flash floods damaged tracks in Roxbury and Braintree on Thursday.
"They are hoping to have it back running as early as Saturday morning," Amtrak conductor Mike Kujala explained Friday to some of the 75 passengers who were moved onto a pair of chartered buses.
The buses have been relaying the Vermonter's ridership back and forth between St. Albans and Springfield, Mass., the point where Amtrak's trains are currently halting their northbound runs but from which they are able to continue down to New York City and beyond.
Wednesday night's northbound Vermonter squeaked through its narrow valley before the Third Branch of the White River rose over the tracks, but that train is still holed up in St. Albans, unable to move until the New England Central Railroad puts the damaged tracks back in service.
Assistant Transportation Director Trini Brassard said repairs to the tracks should be completed Friday and Amtrak service and freight service should get back to normal today.
Correspondent Eric Francis and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Dodge is flying to next week's LA Auto show with a new special edition take on one of its most popular vehicles. The iconic American manufacturer will be debuting the 2012 Charger SRT8 Super Bee. The hardcore Charger has been created for enthusiasts and the muscle car faithful and has plenty to excite Mopar fans.
Inspired by the original Super Bee series that was first introduced in 1968 as a member of Dodge's Scat Pack performance group, the nameplate was then revived with the limited-edition Charger SRT8 in 2007. This new edition brings exclusive content inside and out to the 2012 Charger SRT8.
In terms of power, the Super Bee keeps the 6.1-litre HEMI V8 and five-speed automatic transmission. Power figures haven't increased, but 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet are serious numbers. The Super Bee edition Charger will feature the 392 HEMI badge, which was brought back for the 2010 Challenger 392 model. Continue reading "Dodge stings fans with Challenger SRT8 Super Bee" »

A controversial scheme to upload confidential medical records to a national database has been suspended following public outcry.
The project triggered anger when it was revealed that information could have been logged on the system without patients' knowledge.
The British Medical Association (BMA) warned that many people were not even aware of the scheme, let alone the fact that they could 'opt out'.

- Abstract
- A significant level of cold cracking has been observed within direct chill (DC) cast, high-strength magnesium alloy Elektron WE43. These cracks have been attributed to the formation of significant residual stresses during casting. A finite-element modeling (FEM) code, which is called ALSIM, has been used to predict the residual stress within the DC-cast slab. Verification of the predicted residual stress field within an 870 x 315-mm sized slab has been carried out using neutron diffraction measurements. Given that measurements in such large-scale components using diffraction measurements are particularly challenging and expensive, the efficient use of neutron diffraction measurements is emphasized. This has included the use of sectioning, allowing the residual stress within the slab to be mapped in detail.

Whatever history's verdict on the presidency of WIlliam McKinley- good, bad or forgotten- the fact is that by any measure the man and the presidency have precisely zero relevance to the highest peak in North America, a mountain which has borne his name since its whimsical bestowal by William Dickey in 1896.
Meanwhile, and for thousands of years, Alaska Native peoples of the region have known it by a handful of variants on "Denali", all meaning "The Great One", or "The High One".
An excellent account of these names is found in the following excerpt from the New York Times online book review: http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/l/loewen-lies.html
Recently, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski introduced Senate Bill 2272, which would replace the name Mount McKinley with the ancient Alaska Native name. The effort is welcomed by many both within and from outside the Alaska Native community. There is, however, a serious gaffe in the language of the bill which we hope is corrected before it proceeds any farther toward passage.
As written, the bill calls for North America's highest mountain to be known henceforth as Mount Denali. According to the Dictionary of Alaska Place Names, Geological Survey Professional Paper 567, by Donald Orth, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 1967,
The Tanana Indian name was reported as "Denali", and the Tanaina Indian
name is given as "Doleika" or Traleika." Each of these names is said to mean
"the big one" or "the high one."
The word, "Denali," therefore, includes the noun, one, which refers to the mountain.
Naming it Mount Denali is essentially to name it "Mount The High Mountain". Just as Denali National Park and Denali State Park do not use the word "Mount", the peak itself should properly receive the stand-alone name, Denali. To call it Mount Denali pays tribute to the Alaska Native name, while failing to actually honor the meaning of that name.

(NewsUSA) - Did you know that tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children in the United States? The good news is it can be prevented. This year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) wants to remind parents to "think teeth."
Parents can help children combat cavities and tooth decay by practicing good daily oral hygiene -- even at an early age. Ask your pediatrician about your baby's oral health at the six-month check-up. And start regular dental check-ups beginning at age one.
Reducing Risk of Tooth Decay
"Children's access to dental services is essential to maintaining good oral health and reducing the risk of tooth decay," says Dr. Lynn D. Mouden, Chief Dental Officer with HHS' Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal government agency that oversees Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). "If children don't already have dental coverage, they may be eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, which includes teeth cleanings, check-ups, x-rays, fluoride, dental sealants and fillings."
Tooth decay is caused by bacteria interacting with sugars in the mouth. The bacteria can be passed from parent to child when, for example, they share spoons or cups. If untreated, this dental disease can result in difficulty eating and speaking, and can interfere with physical and social development and school performance. Tooth decay can be prevented. Using a fluoride varnish, fluoride painted on the teeth, protects "baby" teeth. Dental sealants, plastic coatings that keep bacteria and sugars away from areas most likely to decay, protect back teeth.
"Simple steps to help prevent tooth decay can begin when a child is a baby," says Dr. Mouden. "Put only water, milk or formula in bottles or sippy cups, and never put babies to bed with a bottle. And as your child gets older, limit sugary foods and drinks and make sure he or she brushes twice a day for two minutes using fluoride toothpaste."

Study Shows Average User Is Pretty Stupid When It Comes to Popups
Jason Mick

The new study from the North Carolina State University's Psych department shows just how dumb the average user is when it comes to computer security. The study shows users are willing to do anything, including throwing security caution to the wind, to get rid of minor annoyances.
(Source: DailyTech)
A new study is giving computer savvy users a look at the "other" users' behavior
You often wonder how users fall for seemingly obvious ploys -- you know, the letter from Makib in Ethiopia seeking for donations for an orphanage, or perhaps the most recent
fake ticket emails that claim to have your ticket in a ZIP file
. To the computer savvy, these silly attempts might make for a good morning laugh, but security experts say there's nothing to laugh about when millions of naïve users fall for the scheme and their computers become part of a botnet, used to
launch devastating DoS attacks
A new study from the Psychology Department of North Carolina State University gives some insight into just how
easily tricked many users are
. On compromised websites one form of malware distribution is through popup windows. If users click to dismiss them, they often download malware onto their computers. So just how many users would be tricked into clicking?
The researchers crafted 4 dialog boxes and exposed 42 college students to them in a normal browsing atmosphere. Each box contained the cryptic message "The instruction at '0x77f41d24 referenced memory at '0x595c2a4c." The first one bore the markings of a standard Windows dialog, but the remainder had noticeable differences that should have warned users that it was malware.
In each of the dialogs putting the mouse over the "OK" button turned the cursor into a hand, a sign that it was a browser control, not a Windows dialog. The dialogs also all had minimize and maximize buttons. Starting with the second one, a browser status bar was added to the bottom. Finally the last one was made blatantly obvious by text that flashed from black on a white background to white on a black background.
To properly lure the college students into the ruse, they created a series of fake medical websites in Flash. The students were told they were going to be quizzed on the information on the sites after the test. The popups were then activated as the students were browsing the sites.
Of the 42 college students, 26 clicked the "OK" button on the most normal looking dialog, 25 clicked on each of the more obvious fakes, and 23 clicked on the most obvious fake, the one with the flashing text. This study should be welcome news to malware crafters -- college educated users will click obviously dangerous dialogs over 50 percent of the time.
In all only 9 users closed the dialogs. The rest minimized them, or dragged them out of the way, risky behaviors, as the next user at the computer could be exposed to the dialog. The time between the dialog appearing and the user clicking remained approximately constant for all the dialogs. This seems to indicate that the users did not even think much before clicking the foreign message.
In follow up questions, over half of students said the dialog boxes were a distraction from the task at hand and they would do anything to get rid of them. The study seems to indicate that computer exposure, with lack of understanding has bred an atmosphere where users are unsurprised by dialogs and GUIs, and care little for their contents.
While the study's authors suggested education of students to warn them of these kind of dangers, the apathy of the students towards the dialogs seems to bring the fruits of such education into question.
The study is appearing soon in the journal
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.

Those teams you mentioned were not defined by their nick names or identity...the players played and won a specific way and EARNED that identity. The key being the PLAYERS. The Bronx Bombers could call themselves that all day but without homerun hitters it would be some random nickname without meaning.
You are not ahead of the curve...you are looking backwards whether it be the 90's Knicks or old school Yanks. You act as if you and the other pessimists coined and own the importance of defense. It's a laughable strawman argument designed to paint your opposition as some how anti-defense. It's absurd and highlights your lack of an argument. We all know the importance of defense but you seem to forget that we have a 6'9 PF playing center, no true SG and no competent PG. Yet you would have us believe all the blame is to be laid on D'ants shoulders ignoring that his departure from the Suns did not lead to a lock down Suns defense. Even with Shaq they still played mediocre D at best and now without Shaq are once again one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Since D'ant is gone and they still play lackluster defensive us rational individuals can safely conclude it's because of the players not a system.

Pizza Hut manager arrested after spitting in cop's food
Spitting was in retaliation for prior DUI arrest
A Pizza Hut manager was arrested after she got caught spitting on a police officer's pizza.
Unicoi County Sheriff's Department Deputy Jonathan Rogers arrived at his local Pizza Hut in Erwin, Tenn. to pick up a dinner order for his family. He grew suspicious of the transaction when the cashier rang him up without asking his name. According to a police report, Rogers sat down on a bench in front of the counter to wait for his order.
It was then that he observed Amanda Engle, 29, spitting on the pizza.
Rogers immediately confronted Engle and she confessed that she knew who he was because he had arrested her last year for a DUI.
Engle, who pleaded guilty to the DUI shortly before the spitting incident, had knowingly allowed a friend to drive her car drunk, which is also a DUI charge under Tennessee law. She spent two days in jail and paid a $350 fine.

AP || Box/TOI || Highlights || Fancy Stats || Grabs TrackerAfter having trouble closing out in their first two home games of the year, the Islanders not only held serve but turned up the pressure late in tonight's game against the Oilers. They controlled play through most of the third, out shooting Edmonton 15-8 in the final frame. They caught a nice break at the end too as Justin Schultz took a hooking penalty with just under two to go, keeping Edmonton from being able to conduct the 6-on-5 drill. It wasn't a full sixty minute effort but it was almost certainly the best this team has played during the young season. They controlled the play for most of the first period and out shot Edmonton 16-7 in that period. If not for a defensive lapse towards the end of the period, the score might not have been so close.Taylor Hall potted two goals within eight seconds of each other near the 16:00 mark of the first period. Hall set an Oilers franchise record with the goals by besting the previous mark of nine seconds, summoning the ghost of Wayne Gretzky. Hall's first goal was practically an empty netter. The Isles defense got caught out of position and Schultz sent a cross ice pass to Hall, with a flailing Nabokov having no shot. Off the ensuing faceoff, Hall potted a juicy rebound for his second of the night.Prior to Hall's tallies, Josh Bailey netted his third of the year off a nice feed from Travis Hamonic, who was behind the net. Early in the second Bailey also made a slick deke that got a huge reaction from the Coliseum crowd:The game was tied 2-2 at that point, as the Islanders had previously tied it up on a power play goal from Kyle Okposo (already has half as many goals as he had all of last year). It was pretty tic-tac-toe passing, and Okposo took a quick feed from Matt Moulson, went down to one knee, and fired it past Edmonton's Devan Dubnyk. That's when the Islanders ran into penalty trouble. Okposo, Hamonic and Moulson took consecutive penalties during the middle of the period and while the Islanders allowed eight shots and scrambled around a bit, the defense did hold. John Tavares would put them ahead with a powerplay goal with about a minute to go. He took a feed from Okposo in the slot, had time and space, and fired a laser high glove on Dubnyk. The kind of thing goaltenders nightmares are made of. The Isles would control play through most of the third and continued to push all the way to the end. It was a nice change from the previous two games that were precarious and then the team eventually folded. The Isles pressed through most of the period and the Oilers really only had one or two serious chances in the final minutes. [sny-box]Next up for the Islanders are the third of four straight home games. Saturday Carolina visits the Coliseum at 7pm. Despite the frustrating game on Tuesday, they've earned three of a possible four at home.[/sny-box]

The Islanders head to Columbus looking to extend their point streak in a matchup with the Blue Jackets at 7 p.m.
According to STATS...
- The Islanders have won each of their last five games versus the Blue Jackets, tied for their longest active win streak versus any team (also versus the Flames) and their longest win streak versus Columbus all-time. New York has earned at least one point in each of its nine games versus Columbus since the start of the 2015 calendar year (7-0-2).

Last week the New York Islanders were coming off a three-game winning streak, where they defeated the Calgary Flames, Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals. After the first such streak of the 2016-17 season as they entered December, some were cautiously optimistic as the upcoming schedule seemed just as daunting.
The results were close to being identical. The team picked up five of six points in the following three, beating the crosstown rival New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues, while dropping an overtime decision to Frans Nielsen and the Detroit Red Wings.
Brian Erni, SNY.TV:
Cal Clutterbuck will be an Islander for the next five years, and that is a clear signal from Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin that their ownership group is very serious about winning a Stanley Cup. Yes, really.
Back in November, I wrote this about Clutterbuck's contract situation:
"How the Isles address Clutterbuck's impending free agency will probably be a good barometer of where the Ledecky/Malkin group thinks this team is, and where it needs to go. Clutterbuck should be set up to be paid handsomely. Matt Martin pulled a $2.5m AAV, and based on the fact that Clutterbuck kills penalties and has more offensive instincts than Martin, Cal should do even better than that. Will the Isles push to make sure they keep one of their biggest motor guys, even if the price tag is more than they care to shell out? If they do, it's probably a clear indication that ownership is happy with the current direction, and is willing to invest all they can to provide the Isles a nice, gaping window of contention."

Belief in yourself can be a powerful thing. Belief in teammates can be even more powerful. The NHL locker room is a sacred hall, where teammates bond and forge an alliance to work as hard as they possibly can towards a common goal. Nobody can ever accuse the sport of being individualistic. It is one of the most team oriented sports outside of international soccer.
In baseball, one player can throw a gem from the pitcher's mound, one hitter can smash a ninth-inning grand slam to win a ballgame. In the NBA, a superstar can overtake the opposition by dropping 40-50 points in the bucket, accounting for sometimes half or more of a team's total. The NFL is the closest thing we have to hockey, as a running back needs his offensive line, a quarterback needs his receivers for team success but if you're Tom Brady and can throw a football into a pressure cooker from 40 yards, it becomes a little easier.
We have seen what happens when a hockey team tries to rely on one player, one superstar to lead them to victory. Captain John Tavares has, at times, tried to do too much, taking on all five of the opposition, with little to no success at all. The entire five-man unit on the ice struggles consequently. All five players need to be on the same page, working in cohesion on a multitude of challenges.

Anders Lee is red hot, and he's scoring exactly when the Islanders need it most.
Lee tallied two goals Thursday against St. Louis to give him seven in his last eight contests. The first came on a deflection in the high slot off a Nick Leddy wrister from the point. Lee slapped the puck out of the air and into the ice, which allowed it to hop over Jake Allen to even the game, 1-1.
"I think we kept it fairly simple," Lee told Shannon Hogan of MSG after the game. "It wasn't our best game to start, but then we just battled back and continued to play our game."

The Islanders have signed Cal Clutterbuck to a five-year extension through the 2022-23 season, the team announced Friday.
The average annual value of the deal is $3.5 million, reports Elliotte Friedman of HNIC.
The 29-year-old Clutterbuck, who has two goals and seven assists in 25 games this season, was named an alternate captain before the season.

The Islanders have their groove back, or at least that's certainly how it seems after a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues allowed New York to improve their record to 5-0-1 over their last six contests. Head coach Jack Capuano thinks so too, and he told reporters as much after the team's victory on Tuesday night.
"I just think that we're playing with some resiliency and some emotion to our game right now," Capuano said. "Whether they tie it up, or we're down by one, I think that we have that no-quit attitude. We got our identity back a little bit."

Anders Lee scored two goals, including the winner with 7:18 left, as the Islanders extended their unbeaten streak to six with a 3-2 win over the Blues Thursday at the Barclays Center.
The Islanders (10-10-5) welcome the St. Louis Blues (15-7-4) to Brooklyn on Thursday night.
According to STATS:
- The Blues improved to 8-1-1 over their last 10 games with Tuesday's 3-2 win over Montreal. St. Louis has the highest winning percentage in the NHL dating back to November 15 (.850).
- The Islanders extended their point streak to five games with a 4-2 win against the Rangers on Tuesday. It is the longest point streak for New York since another five-game run from March 1-9, 2016.

John Tavares spoke with Joe and Evan of WFAN Wednesday afternoon, covering a wide range of topics which included the team's 4-2 victory over the crosstown-rival New York Rangers, the Islanders' slow start to the season, the ice at Barclays Center, and remaining with the organization for the long haul.
Tavares, who is once again pacing the Islanders offense with 7 goals, 13 assists for 20 points in 25 games this season. He has 2-3-5 over his last five games, with the Islanders' 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins last Wednesday in Brooklyn being the only game in which he didn't tally a point during that stretch. He put forth a gritty performance in Tuesday's win over the Rangers while clearly not 100%, as the flu has been making its ugly face shown in the locker room, potting a crucial third-period power play goal to put the game out of reach.

NEW YORK -- The New York Islanders have spent the last week proving they can play with the best teams in the Eastern Conference. On Thursday night, the Islanders will get a chance to see how they stack up against the red-hot St. Louis Blues, who are the second-best team in the Western Conference.
The Islanders will host the Blues for the only time this season when the two teams square off at Barclays Center. Both clubs won Tuesday, when New York extended its point streak to five games with a 4-2 win over the New York Rangers while St. Louis kept rolling with a 3-2 overtime win over the East-leading Montreal Canadiens.
The Islanders (10-10-5) have gone 4-0-1 in their last five games -- a stretch in which they've beaten the Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals, all of whom currently occupy a playoff spot -- to climb out of the NHL basement and move to the fringe of the East playoff race.

This summer, Islanders GM Garth Snow signed Andrew Ladd to a big-money deal and signed Jason Chimera to replace the departed Matt Martin, hoping to add some additional veteran leadership to a team coming off its first playoff round victory in over 20 years.
Even though the offensive numbers have been slow to arrive (Chimera with 4-5-9 in 25 games, but three goals the past five games and Ladd 3-3-6 in 25 games, but 1-2-3 in his last five games), they have combined with existing veterans to help the Islanders out of the type of malaise that struck the team during October (4-5-0) and November (4-5-4).

The Islanders are reportedly in the market for a team president to oversee hockey operations. SNY.tv's Brian Erni and Andy Graziano discuss...
Brian Erni, SNY.TV:
Andy, Art Staple reported last week that Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin are looking into hiring a new team president that would oversee the organization, including the general manager position. Darren Dreger says that the team has met with ex-Islanders Pat Lafontaine, Patrick Flatley, and Glenn Healy, as well as ex-Canucks executives Mike Gillis and Laurence Gilman. What do you make of all this?
Brian Compton and Mike Carver are elated (for the most part) over Tuesday night's win over the Rangers. The guys discuss Jaroslav Halak's superb performance in net and the Isles' perfect penalty kill. Later, the podcast finally hears directly from its listeners as Brian and Mike respond to voicemails about Scott Mayfield, Andrew Ladd, and Garth Snow.

The Islanders' 4-2 victory over their crosstown rival New York Rangers was as big of a win as the team has had in the 2016-17 season. Don't get me wrong, it's not nearly enough to get this thing turned around on its own. But by taking down the Metropolitan-leading Rangers, it shows the Islanders and their fans that a run back to playoff contention this season, while improbable, is still a possibility.
Now 4-0-1 in their last five games, the Isles should certainly feel like they have some positive momentum. Wins against perennial divisional contenders the Penguins, Capitals, and Rangers have a way of making both the team and the fan base see the glass half-full. But a quick glimpse at the standings shows how difficult it is to pick up points in this era of the NHL.
The Isles are six points back of a playoff spot (albeit with a game in hand over the Caps, who currently hold the second Wild Card), behind six other teams on the outside-looking-in. In order for them to get back into the postseason conversation, they have a lot more heavy lifting to do, particularly inside the Conference, and they know it.

Andrew Ladd scored in the second period and Jaroslav Halak stopped 36 shots to lead the New York Islanders to a 4-2 victory over the crosstown-rival Rangers on Tuesday night.
John Tavares, Jason Chimera and Scott Mayfield also scored at the Barclays Center to help the last-place Islanders improve to 4-0-1 in their last five games.
Jimmy Vesey and Marc Staal scored for the Metropolitan Division-leading Rangers and Henrik Lundqvist finished with 28 saves. The Rangers have alternated wins and losses in regulation in their last eight games.
Halak beat Lundqvist for the ninth time in their last 10 matchups. Halak had won eight straight - including the last five after joining the Islanders before the 2014-15 season - before Lundqvist ended the streak in the Rangers' 5-3 win in the season opener Oct. 13 at Madison Square Garden. Lundqvist is now 1-6-1 in his last eight against the Islanders.

The Islanders will be without defenseman Johnny Boychuck against the Rangers on Tuesday night.
Boychuck, 32, is dealing with flu like symptoms and is considered day-to-day (Islanders, Dec. 5).
In 24 games played this season, Boychuck has scored five goals and recorded four assists.

The Islanders (9-10-5) will face off against the Rangers (17-8-1) in Brooklyn on Tuesday night.
According to STATS:
- The Islanders picked up a point for the fourth straight game with a 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings on Sunday. The Isles did not allow a power-play opportunity for the first time since December 12, 2015, marking their sixth consecutive game without a power-play goal allowed.
- The Rangers have alternated wins and losses over their last eight games following Saturday's 4-2 victory against the Hurricanes. The Blueshirts have scored at least four goals an NHL-high 13 times this season and are a perfect 13-0-0 in those games.
NEW YORK -- There is never any shortage of drama when the New York Islanders and New York Rangers meet. But the Islanders and Rangers each have far more on their minds than local bragging rights as as they prepare for the latest incarnation of one of hockey's best rivalries.
The Islanders will host the Rangers for the first time this season on Tuesday, when the teams are scheduled to meet at Barclays Center. The Rangers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Saturday while the Islanders fell to the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime on Sunday.
"They're always a lot of fun," Islanders center and captain John Tavares said of the games against the Rangers. "Never any love lost in these games, so easy to get up for."
The Islanders have points in their last four games, and have nine of a possible 14 over their past seven games. Things are improving. The problem in the era of the loser point, it's hard to make up significant ground once a team puts themselves in a hole. Still, the Isles enter Tuesday night's game against the Rangers optimistic that they can keep their momentum going, and they have a plan to do so: be aggressive.
Everyone is begging the Islanders to open up their system and try to escape the dump-and-chase monotony that has befallen the team over the past year and a half, and for good reason. New York has seen their possession metrics slide all the way to the bottom of the league. Entering play, the Isles are 28th in Corsi For Percentage at even strength, just two teams from the cellar. It stands to reason that if the Isles could tighten up their neutral zone play, ultimately leading to more Zone Entries (as perfectly outlined by Garik16 here), the team would have a lot more success on both ends of the ice.
The problem is that, far too often, the Isles seem contest to flick the puck deep. It kills them against bigger teams that they can't win battles against the boards against, and it looms particularly large late in games when players' legs start to go. It's probably not a coincidence this team has had so many missteps in the final minutes of the third period
Latest Update (Dec. 6)
11:55AM: D Scott Mayfield has been emergency recalled from Bridgeport, the Islanders announced Tuesday morning.
Previous Reports (Dec. 2)
11:25AM: The Islanders have returned D Scott Mayfield to Bridgeport of the AHL, the team announced Friday.
Mayfield had been called up on an emergency basis on Nov. 14 to replace Dennis Seidenberg, who was activated off IR on Thursday.
G Jaroslav Halak will be in goal Tuesday night for the Islanders as they take on the Rangers in Brooklyn, Jack Capuano told reporters early Tuesday.
Halak has gone 4-6-5 in 15 starts this season, with a 2.93 GAA and a .909 save percentage.
Other lineup decisions will be made right before gametime due to a small, flu-like bug circulating the Islanders' locker room.

The Islanders will try to extend their longest winning streak of the season to four games Sunday night when they face Frans Nielsen and the Detroit Red Wings for the first time this season.
Some thoughts from the week that was for the New York Islanders, as they rang up their first three-game winning streak of the season and collected six must have points to remain in the chase for a playoff spot in 2016-17.
- It wasn't enough to lift them out of the Metropolitan division basement or the bottom of the Eastern conference but the Islanders were impressive in collecting six points this week, two from high quality opponents. That's not to say the Flames are a pushover by any means, but they were exhausted at the end of their six-game road trip and coming off a back to back. The wins over the Penguins and Capitals were exactly what this team needed at this stage to avoid a complete collapse.
- When you've played as poorly as the Islanders early on, it's never too early to begin looking at playoff standings. As of this morning, New York is five points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning with two games in hand, but still have seven teams to jump. Earlier in the week, sportsclubstats has the Islanders playoff chances at 3.5%. After the week they had, that increased to 12.7%. Still, an uphill battle at the moment.
Islanders owners Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin have been on a search since the summer to bring in a new executive to run the team's hockey operations, reports Newsday's Arthur Staple.
According to Staple, the new owners have worked to bring in a "big name" that would either work alongside GM Garth Snow or could make changes to the front office.
Thursday night's game against Washington had all the makings of a letdown. The Islanders were coming off a hard-fought, last-second win against the Penguins. They had to travel to the nation's capital. Thomas Greiss, who has emerged as the team's number one goaltender, wasn't even dressed.
They had skated hard and played an impressive two periods against the Capitals. But we were all bracing for the inevitable in a scoreless third period, and it came just 37 seconds in: the power play opportunity that would inevitably break New York's back.
After the Isles had killed off their first four chances down a man, two of which came late in the second period, Johnny Boychuk swatted a puck in the air out of play without it touching the glass. The delay of game minor gave Washington another shot on the power play just 29 seconds after Anders Lee's high-sticking penalty had expired, and the Caps were starting to buzz.
Washington hadn't converted on their last eight power plays, and they knew it. They were due, and smelled blood in the water. The way this season had gone, it was only a matter of time before the Capitals set up Alexander Ovechkin for one of his patented blasts from the circle that beat Jaroslav Halak and broke the tie.

The Islanders broke a scoreless tie with three goals in a 3:28 span of the third period to defeat the Capitals 3-0 Thursday in Washington. The Islanders won three in a row for the first time this season.
The Islanders (8-10-4) head to Washington D.C. to face off against the Capitals (13-6-2) on Thursday night.
According to STATS:
- New York lost a 3-0 third-period lead, but came back to score two times in the last 27 seconds of the game to beat the Penguins, 5-3, last night at Barclays Center. The Islanders have now won back-to-back games for just the second time of the season (also October 21-23).
- Washington dropped a 4-2 decision in Toronto last Saturday night, snapping its two-game win streak in the process. The Caps are 4-1-0 in their last five tilts at Verizon Center, outscoring opponents by a combined 17-8 in those contests.

Dennis Seidenberg has been removed from the IR, while Adam Pelech has been placed on the team's IR list, the Islanders announced Thursday evening.
Seidenberg suffered a broken jaw during New York's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers on Nov. 12. Prior to the injury, the defenseman had four goals and four assists in 15 games.
Pelech left Monday's game overtime win over the Flames after absorbing a hard hit. The 22-year old has a goal and two assists in nine games this season.

WASHINGTON -- The New York Islanders avoided a disastrous defeat Wednesday night and now have a chance to notch their first three-game winning streak of the season.
The Islanders (8-10-4) squandered a 3-0 third-period lead before Anders Lee scored with 26.6 seconds left and Nikolay Kulemin added an empty netter three seconds later to give New York a 5-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
After beating the Penguins, who are second in the Metropolitan Division, the last-place Islanders travel to Washington Thursday for their first meeting of the season with the Capitals (13-6-2), who are tied for third.

Remember, remember the month of November. Although that line is modified from the movie 'V for Vendetta', it very much applies to the New York Islanders, who are all too happy to move past their month of horrors and see the calendar flip to December 1.
Going back to the 2011-12 season, the 11th month of the year was not too kind to head coach Jack Capuano and his squad. New York went 4-7-2 and 4-10-1 in back to back full seasons, putting them firmly behind the proverbial eight ball as the season ticked past the thin red line that separates the playoffs from an early golf outing. Things seemed to improve in 2014-15 with a monster 11-3-0 month before the team tailed off yet again the following season with a mark of 7-6-1.
If you're counting at home, that's 26-26-4 over the past four full seasons heading into 2016-17. With New York just completing their November last night at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins, a game they would will themselves to win 5-3 after surrendering a 3-0 third-period lead, it gave the Islanders a 4-5-4 mark this time around, just 46% of all possible points and only 2 regulation wins in 13 tries.
Tags: Anders Lee, Brock Nelson, Casey Cizikas, Jason Chimera, John Tavares, Johnny Boychuk, Thomas Greiss, Travis Hamonic, Andy Graziano
Scott Mayfield had played just once since he was called up earlier this month, but that didn't stop the rookie for contributing in a big way in Wednesday night's win over the Penguins.
Mayfield played 14:22, registered a shot on goal, and tallied his first two NHL assists in the team's 5-3 victory at Barclays Center.
"I thought Scotty Mayfield stepped in and did a really good job," Jack Capuano told reporters after the game.
Mayfield, 24, has now played in 13 career NHL games. He was a second round draft pick by the Islanders in 2011.
If you went to bed after the second period of Wednesday night's game, I wouldn't have blamed you. The Islanders were leading the reigning Stanley Cup champions, 3-0, and the nationally-televised start time of 8:00 had pushed the third period an hour later than usual.
So if you figured the Isles would win -- and even if they didn't, you didn't want to witness blowing a three-goal lead - you are forgiven for hitting the hay.
However, you missed a fireworks factory which included New York blowing that lead, then scoring three seconds apart in the final minute to put the icing on the most feel-good win of the season

The Islanders look for their second victory in a row as they take on the rival Penguins at Barclays Center on Wednesday night.
According to STATS...
- The Penguins haven't played since Saturday, when they beat the New Jersey Devils, 4-3 in a shootout, in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has not had consecutive wins sin November 5 & 8 (at San Jose, vs. Edmonton). In their last three games, the Penguins are 0-for-11 on the power play and have allowed five power-play goals in just nine opponent power-play opportunities.

The Islanders are said to have a team value of $385 million, which is good for the 18th spot in the NHL, according to Forbes.
Forbes calculated the value of the team to have increased 18 percent from last year.
New team owners, Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin, paid $485 million to become majority owners, replacing Charles Wang, who is now a minority investor in the team.

To say Thomas Hickey has a knack for the dramatic could be the understatement of the 27-year-old Calgary native's New York Islanders career. Once again, New York was up against the odds, down a defenseman due to a late second period injury to Adam Pelech and forced to play the remainder of the game rotating the five still standing.
Having tied the most minutes he has played over the past six games, 19:48, the diminutive yet tough and rugged Hickey found himself as the lone defenseman in the three on three extra session, on the ice with captain John Tavares and Shane Prince.
However, defense was hardly on his mind as he set up shop to the right of Calgary goaltender Brian Elliott and deflected Tavares' floater from the high slot between the netminder's arm and watched it roll into the cage, giving his team a much needed, if slightly unearned, two points.

Latin America was a hotbed of alliance and merger & acquisition activity through the 1990s. Non-Latin multinational ownership in the top 500 Latin American companies grew from 25% of sales in 1991 to 38% in 1999, as global MNCs pursued alliances and aggressively acquired privately-held local companies and state-owned enterprises. Locally, the pressure continues to be intense on Latin American firms to consolidate and to seek the best possible alliance partners as an integral component of their growth strategies.
|"In the last two years, the pace of foreign MNC activity has slowed in line with the cooling of the stock market. But consolidations of local players is accelerating."
In the last two years, the pace of foreign MNC M&A activity has slowed in line with the cooling of the stock market. But local activity, mostly domestic consolidations, is accelerating. For the next decade, alliances and acquisitions will continue to be a critical facet of competitive strategy for Latin America, making it imperative for companies to devote more time and talent to shepherding these relationships every step of the way so that they have every possible chance to succeed.
These conclusions are based on wide-ranging interviews with consultants at Booz Allen Hamilton, the McLean, Va.-based management consultancy, and faculty members at The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, as well as a review of studies by experts at Wharton and Booz Allen.
The Local View
"There have been so many acquisitions done by multinationals that the largest companies in Latin America have gone from being predominantly local to being multinational," says Alonso Martinez, a senior vice president of Booz Allen who is based in Coral Gables, Fla., and consults throughout Latin America. "At the beginning of the 1990s, maybe 25% of the largest companies in Latin America were multinational; now it's approaching 50%.
Many of these companies are home-grown Latin American multinationals that have expanded through cross-border deals to achieve the size and scale to compete in the region with global players. "What has happened is most Latin American companies are facing bigger and more entrenched multinational competitors. That has put them at a disadvantage. For example, a confectionery company in Latin America might be sizeable for its home country, but it is competing with Nestle and Philip Morris, which in Latin America alone are multi-billion-dollar companies. So Latin American companies are under a lot more pressure to become at least regional multinationals," says Martinez.
Local companies are not just grabbing market share. They recognize specific strategic advantages in alliances and acquisitions. "The [local] clients that we talk to are worried about creating value. Latin American economies grew a lot throughout the 1990s, but little from 1998 on. Suddenly growth is not the way to create value. You create value today by synergies. The second thing they think about is whether an alliance will make their company more interesting for international investors and whether this will provide liquidity." Access to international markets for IPOs is increasingly expensive for companies focused on a single country, says Martinez. "A lot of Latin American stockholders would like to have international liquidity. One way to get that is to have your stock traded somewhere."

Packers 2012 schedule set
While Mike McCarthy did claim Tuesday evening to be "just like everybody else at this time of the year" with the release of the coming NFL season's schedule, the Green Bay Packers coach wasn't looking at his team's slate of 2012 games the way the rest of us were.
So instead of looking at the stretch of three straight road games his team will play, or at the fact that five of the team's seven games after the bye week are against NFC North rivals, McCarthy was paying closer attention to what he's referred to in the past as "stress points" in the schedule, and how often his wildly popular team would be playing at his favorite time: Noon on Sundays.
What did McCarthy find? A challenging, imbalanced early-season schedule – one that includes a Week 2 Thursday night game against the archrival Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field and a Week 3 trip to Seattle to face Matt Flynn on Monday Night Football – and 13 consecutive Sunday games, with nine of them scheduled to kick off at noon.
All told, the Packers received five prime-time games, as they received three games on Sunday Night Football on NBC: At Houston on Oct. 14; at the Super Bowl-champion New York Giants on Nov. 25; and at home against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 9.
"I don't really get too caught up in who we play and where we play them. I focus more on how many days there are between games, the time of games," McCarthy explained in quotes distributed by the Packers' public relations department. "That's really my focus from a scheduling standpoint. We have known since the season ended who we are going to play. Who, what time, how much time we have to prepare is really the key.
"As far as playing three on the road, I don't look at that as an extraordinary challenge. It is always challenging, period, when you go on the road. We just happen to have three of them in a row."
That three game stretch – at Indianapolis on Oct. 7, at Houston on Oct. 14 and at St. Louis on Oct. 21 – marks the first time since 1998 that the Packers had to play three straight games on the road. It also makes the Packers one of only two teams – the Texans being the other – with three consecutive road games on the schedule.
Before that three-week window, however, the Packers face a challenging gauntlet that begins with the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field on Sept. 9, followed by a showdown with Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall and the Bears four days later. The 185th renewal of the NFL's longest-running rivalry will be the first of the NFL Network's season-long Thursday night slate, and it's followed by a trip to Seattle to face Flynn on ESPN's Monday Night Football, which will mark the Packers' only Monday night appearance of the season.
And as if September isn't jam-packed with enough big games, the Packers close out the month with the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau in a fourth straight NFC game to start the year.
"Your home opener is always special and to start the season at home will be great for our football team, our organization and our fans. We have an excellent opponent in the San Francisco 49ers, and I think it is a great way to start the season for both teams," McCarthy said. "Then we go right into a short week, which is a challenge. I think it is definitely going to be a test for our football team from a preparation standpoint. But our guys are up to the challenge. We're a mature football team, and anytime we play the Bears it is a lot of fun, especially on national television."
After the three consecutive road games, the Packers return home to play host to Jacksonville and Arizona before a Week 10 open date, which ties for the latest the team has ever had a bye.
"I don't mind the late bye. I don't mind a late bye and I don't mind a Thursday night game late in the year," McCarthy said. "I think it gives you a chance to regroup and get ready for the stretch run."
Following the bye, they'll face two critical road games: At Detroit on Nov. 18, with the up-and-coming Lions coming off their a playoff appearance, and at the defending Super Bowl-champion New York Giants on Nov. 25, a rematch of the NFC Divisional Playoff game that ended the 15-1 Packers' season last year.
Green Bay then closes the season with four division games in the final five weeks, including two games against the Minnesota Vikings (at home on Dec. 2 and at the Metrodome to close out the regular season Dec. 30), a Sunday Night Football matchup with the Lions on Dec. 9 and a trip to often frigid Soldier Field in Chicago to face the Bears on Dec. 16. Mixed in is a Dec. 23 home game against the Tennessee Titans.
McCarthy called the five division games in the final seven weeks "unusual."
"That's something that we'll look at from a planning standpoint because division games are obviously the most important. There is more planning and preparation that goes into those games from the offseason up until the point that you play them, and those games take a lot out of you physically," McCarthy said. "Those are all the variables that we will look at."
