After two seasons of great success, I find myself in the midst of my first managerial crisis.
It was Adam Fegan who got me into MSFL management after injuries cut short my playing career. Together, we steered the team to the Division One title and finished fourth in the Premier Division the following season, as well as reaching the last four of the Peter Morrison.
Adam recently accepted a job coaching one of Wingate & Finchley's youth teams and I now offer my pearls of wisdom in the dugout alongside club chairman Jonathan Adelman.
To say the boys have faced a testing start would be an understatement. We have failed to win any of our first six games and still have to play the likes of Hendon United Sports Club A, my title favourites, and London Maccabi Lions A twice.
I'm not sure if league chairman David Wolff put the mockers on us when he tipped North London Raiders A for the title over the summer, although it would be fair to say that we're struggling to cope with injuries to key players.
In a bid to stop the rot, I signed keeper Dan Cohen, who recently returned from a coaching at a football camp in America. Jonathan has also flashed the cash to bring in another two players.
Managing a football team is easy when you are winning and confidence is high. On Sunday we play our B team who beat us last month. It's hard to believe that it's only October and this looks like a must-win game.
● Having first reported Omri Altmann's move to Fulham in March, it's good to hear that the Israeli teenager is doing so well as a second-year scholar. Arsenal and Liverpool didn't like the look of him but it's clear that the former Under 17 captain is destined for big things.
● Blizzard Storm manager Simon Linden has called for an investigation after his full-back Matt Jaffa, formerly of UJIA, arrived wearing his former club's shirt and scored an own goal within 30 seconds. UJIA won 2-1.
● Players from Woodford Wanderers took a leaf out of the Calender Girls' book when posing naked for a publication that did not get off the ground. You can find the photos on Facebook but it could explain why Alex Aviram's men have made such a poor start.
● Faithfold midfielder Alex Kaye is my JC MSFL Player of the Month. He has scored three goals so far this season.

Afternoon snow prompts extra road crews
Salt crews will be out most of Monday night, officials say
With the scattered snow falling in the area Monday afternoon, city officials are scheduling crews to keep roads in good driving condition.
Chris Kelley, Madison Streets Division superintendent, said temperatures have fallen below the level that salt can work effectively, so they have started applying a sand and salt mixture.
According to a release, sand will not melt the snow, but it will provide an abrasive that will help with traction.
Light snow falling Monday afternoon and night is expected to add up to 1 to 3 inches by Tuesday morning, News 3 meteorologist Haddie McLean said. High temperatures will be in the upper teens.
The Madison Streets Division has 32 trucks applying salt on main streets, bus routes and routes to schools and hospitals, according to a release.
Crews will remain on the streets throughout the evening, officials said. Another set of 32 trucks are scheduled to come in at midnight.
Officials urge driver to allow extra time to get home as the timing of the snowfall could make the evening commute difficult.

Malgrat is in the area known as the Maresme, a flat land belt resting between mountains and sea. Holidays to Malgrat de Mar centre on the long, sandy beach, divided into inviting little bays by rocks. Its pleasant promenade is lined with bars and restaurants, and its quality has been recognised for the last 10 years with the European Blue Flag. For somewhere quieter, try the beach at the mouth of the Tordera river.
Things To Do on Malgrat De Mar Holidays
If you fancy a change from the beach, stroll around the old fish market, or visit the sixteenth century St Nicolau church known as the Cathedral of the Coast. Those who love architecture will enjoy the modernist buildings like the Town Hall. And no holiday in Malgrat de Mar would be complete without a visit to El Castell (the castle), a tower on the top of the hill in the middle of town, surrounded by a beautiful park, offering superb panoramic views. The old town also has a small square, a market and attractive gardens.
If you don't mind venturing further afield, visit Barcelona, or medieval Girona, or take the ferry to Tossa de Mar. Children will enjoy Water World, the dolphinarium at Blanes and the exciting Port Aventura theme park. Use the minitrain to get around locally, and regular coast trains to other Costa Brava beaches. For those who prefer their vacations active, the calm waters of Malgrat are ideal for watersports.
There are festivals in Malgrat throughout the summer, the main one being the Festival of St. Roc in the middle of August, where you can take in choir singing, folk groups, face painting, open-air cinema and cycle racing.
For a true dose of local culture, be in town for the Festival of the Sardana dance on the first Sunday in October. The weekly street market is held on Thursday mornings.
Reasonably lively without being overwhelming, there are plenty of bars and several discos along the seafront. You may prefer to make the short journey along the coast to Calella, and its bustling night scene.

Malgrat de Mar holidays offer the ideal combination of relaxation and activity for anyone, whether couples or families. Whether you want to relax, absorb the historical Mediterranean charm or soak up the relaxed Spanish lifestyle, Malgrat de Mar is hard to beat.

Grave Doug Freshley, The
Creator: Josh Hechinger
Doug Freshley was hired by the McNally's to be more than just a cowboy. The former schoolteacher was also asked to tutor the bright but undisciplined young Bat McNally. On the day that the rotten Delancey gang bushwhacked the McNally ranch, Bat hid in the cupboard, while Ma, Pa, and Doug took the bullets. But Doug had promised to watch out for Bat, and a promise is a promise when you're a cowboy. So, despite a bullet hole between the eyes, Doug stood up to keep his word. Together, Doug and Bat are fixing to dispense a little frontier justice. But justice is a two-way street, and Doug, who cheated Death, will have to face down the gunslinger, the Grim Reaper, his ownself.

I imagine the average non-soap fan is (slightly) more likely to pick AS out of a line-up than CC. Does it matter, though? Neither actress is mainstream enough to the point that they are commercially valuable in and of themselves to the show. I doubt we're looking at a Heather Locklear type ratings boost however "hot" CC might be at the moment. A few die hard GL/Otalia fans is probably the best TPTB can hope for.

Put it this way... I'm more excited about this return and Louise Sorel than I have been about the show in the last few months. It's been good, but it hasn't been out of the park great.
That could change come Friday. Crystal comes from the good old Days (emphasis on GOOD and OLD... lol)

Love the pic, thanks for posting.
As excited I am for this return, I literally can't wait for LS to return. October and November have the potential to be awesome months for DAYS. I just hope somehow DAYS won't screw up these fantastic returns.
|Sep 30 2009, 02:22 AM Post #32
I agree with that. Ali may be a bit more recognizable, although CC has been getting alot of press of late for Venice so who knows. That is why I think she has a chance at bumping the ratings and bringing the show some attention. Hell, I didn't buy it too much at the time but I do think bringing Martsolf and Gering on last Fall helped Days stabilize in the ratings a bit. If they can have ANY impact, CC definitely can. I guess we'll see. I hope it does help.
As for that last pic, it looks awesome. I'm so intrigued. I love how mysterious and how classic soap her return is. Carly is on a plane there yet we see her with Rafe sailing back to Salem. I wonder what happens. Maybe she is afraid of getting caught by the people after her so she flies into an airport outside Salem and decides to sail back to Salem and that is how she finds Rafe.
As for Carly being a spoiler to Sami and Rafe, I doubt it. Maybe way down the line but they will explore Carly and Bo first. I mean, Corday went on about it when it was announced CC first returned and the promos and interviews NBC has posted do nothing but focus on Carly and Bo. If they don't involve Carly with Bo and Hope, Bo and Hope have no story so I wouldn't worry about Carly coming between Sami and Rafe. I just think they are being smart and having her interact with characters already on the canvas. Sure, they may be chemistry testing a bit but that is common for future reference.

I am SO EXCITED!!!!! All these pics are just making me SO HAPPY!
But I am even MORE excited for Vivian's return and how she ties into this. Louise Sorel back on our screens as Vivian Alamain?! It seems unimaginable!
|Sep 30 2009, 08:08 AM Post #34
I heard exactly what you are talking about. Carly ends up sailing into Salem and finds Rafe floating in the water and rescues him. She nurses him back to health somewhat, but wants to turn him over to his real family, so she contacts Bo to find out who he is ( remember meredith took his wallet). Of course, Bo knows who he is and that is how he gets reconnected to his family, and I am assuming, Sami.
I think this is a good idea b/c it may help to form a bond with Rafe and Bo and with Sami being part of Bo's family, that gives more of a Salem connection to Rafe. It will also help with the idea of bringing down the Dimeras, as Roman wanted-- especially if Rafe remembers that Stefano was the one who brought Meredith back to Salem and was ultimately responsible for breaking up Sami and him.
Things are getting really interesting and IMO, the writers are doing a good job of playing it just right!!!!

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks finished slightly lower in a quiet session yesterday as the back-and-forth wrangling over the "fiscal cliff" gave investors little reason to act.
Just 5.86 billion shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT, below the year's daily average of 6.48 billion shares.
A key measure of investor anxiety has remained muted. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, a gauge of market anxiety, was at 17.13, up 2.9 percent. It has not traded above 20 since July.
One of the S&P 500's top sectors for the day was health care, considered a defensive group.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 13.82 points, or 0.11 percent, to 12,951.78 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dipped 2.41 points, or 0.17 percent, to 1,407.05. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 5.51 points, or 0.18 percent, to close at 2,996.69.

I dare say that you have most of us at a disadvantage.
I for one have absolutely no idea what that question means.
You must define the terms and explain the notation.
This is a homework problem i had. Help!
Explain why the dot product of x and y equals the dot product of Px and Py.
Then From (Px)^T(Py)=x^Ty deduce that P^TP=I for any permutation. With x=(1,2,3) and y=(1,4,20) choose P to show that Pxdoty is not always xdotPy.
P is a "permutation" matrix: every row and column contains exactly one "1" and all other entries are 0. For example,
just permutes the entries x, y, and z.
If, instead of we use then .
Essentially since both x and v are permuted in the same way, the "corresponding terms" still match up.
so is not, in general, equal to .

New tendering procedures for roadworks will be brought in from April next year after a number of high-profile projects were beset by defects and delays.
Infrastructure Minister Laurence Skelly said the problems have 'highlighted, quite frankly, that the lowest price is not always the best value'.
Finch Road in Douglas is the latest scheme to have hit problems with private contractor Island Drainage and Groundwork having to plane off and relay the asphalt after it began to disintegrate soon after the road was resurfaced.
Meanwhile, a full investigation is underway into drainage issues on Peel Road after a section flooded in heavy rain. A £4.3m reconstruction project, which was supposed to include flood alleviation measures, was only completed in March after more than a year of disruption.
Preliminary inquiries by the Manx Utilities Authority suggest the drainage system had been partially blocked by silt and other material from the roadworks.
And down in Port Erin, the village has been virtually cut off for months after roadworks on Castletown Road slipped eight weeks behind schedule. Problems with drainage and the level of manhole covers have meant that sections of the new road surface are having to be relaid by contractor Colas.
Mr Skelly said: 'We are reviewing standards of road works for all our contracted works.
'I do accept this is not just private contracted works but also our own crews. Maintaining a standard and quality finish that is acceptable to road users and tax payers is vitally important. I do, however, remain committed to working with the private sector.'
He added: 'We have made a decision to consult with the industry about new procedures with regards to tendering. We will do that over the summer so that the new arrangements are in place for next year.
'I absolutely admit we have been concerned with some of the defects we've had and we need to try to find a solution. We need to ensure we get value. The important thing is that if there are issues, the defects are dealt with while the contractors are on the job.'
In each case, the defects are being rectified at the contractors' own cost. But the problems will be seized on by critics of the policy to outsource roadworks to the private sector.
In relation to Finch Road, DoI operations director Jeff Robinson said: 'Following completion of the scheme, the department's site engineers identified parts of the surface fell below quality expectations. The issue was raised with Island Drainage and Groundwork as a non-conformance and they agreed to relay the surface to rectify the defect. The cost was borne by the contractor.
'The Highway Services Division is reviewing its internal procedures for the procurement of goods and services, including the management of quality, safety and sustainability. It will be consulting the industry on its proposed new procedures at the end of the summer, with a view to having new arrangements in place for April next year.'
Problems on Peel Road hit the headlines in March when it emerged that a series of test holes revealed problems with the thickness and compaction of the asphalt laid by Island Drainage and Groundwork - and sections had to be resurfaced.
Operations director Mr Robinson said the flooding this month may have been caused by a blockage in the drainage system further down the line from Peel Road.
But Alfred Cannan, chairman of the Manx Utilities Authority, said: 'The MUA is aware there has been a flooding issue on Peel Road. Preliminary indications are that there has been a build up of silt and material associated with the recent roadworks.
'This should be relatively simple matter to deal with. As soon as we have full clarification we will issue a statement.'
A new roundabout at Four Roads in the south of the island was finally due to open today.
Reopening of the road couldn't come soon enough for one businessman who has seen takings hit hard by lack of passing trade.
Julian Driver, who runs The Station in Port St Mary. said: 'It just goes on and on, Nobody told us initially the road would be shut. We opened 10 months ago. This is our busy time, we have an outside area but no one can see that because there is no passing trade.

Hunter Moore, Revenge-Porn Profiteer, Arrested by the F.B.I.
Hunter Moore, proprietor of the defunct revenge porn website IsAnyoneUp.com, has been indicted by the F.B.I. in California.
Twenty-seven-year-old Moore and a second suspect, Charles Evens, 25, are charged with 15 counts each, including one count of conspiracy, seven counts of unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information, and seven counts of aggravated identity theft.

According to the FBI, "Moore allegedly instructed Evens to gain unauthorized access to -- in other words, to hack into -- victims' e-mail accounts. Moore sent payments to Evens in exchange for nude photos obtained unlawfully from the victims' accounts. Moore then posted the illegally obtained photos on his website, without the victims' consent. The indictment alleges that Evens hacked into email accounts belonging to hundreds of victims."

When the Voice first broke the story that Moore was under investigation by the FBI in 2012, he threatened to burn down our office. "Honestly, I will be fucking furious, and I will burn down fucking the Village Voice headquarters if you fucking write anything saying I have an FBI investigation," he told staff writer Camille Dodero while she was reporting the story, "Gary Jones" Wants Your Nudes," about a mysterious hacker who gained access to countless email accounts and stolen photos to post on IsAnyoneUp.com.
In the indictment, the F.B.I. writes that Evens is "also known as 'Gary.'"
Email exchanges between Moore and Evens show Moore initially offered Evens $200 a week to hack into victims' email accounts, and steal nude photos to post on IsAnyoneUp.com. According to the F.B.I., Moore paid Evens in installments, $2,438.70 in all, over the course of their partnership.

Both men were arrested this morning. Moore, who lives in Woodland, California, was arraigned in federal court in Sacramento; Evens, who lives in Studio City, was arraigned in Los Angeles.
If convicted, the pair face up to five years in federal prison for each of the conspiracy and computer hacking counts -- a grand total of 40 years -- each. (Aggravated identity theft carries a mandatory two-year sentence that would be consecutive to other sentences.)
The last thing Moore tweeted, somewhat ironically, was a message of support to Justin Beiber, who was also arrested this morning.

The fall brings lots of pretty colored foliage, but it also usually has its fair share of rain; this year's been especially wet so far! Despite all the crummy weather, warm and cozy winterjackets aren't the ticket just yet. There's plenty of options to help brave the rainfall and not overbundle, as well as stay chic this time of year.
Fancy shoes and stylish sneakers tend to not be the most rain friendly choices for footwear. But fear not, because there is certainly a large supply of fashionable boots available to choose from. For instance, the pair of Lacoste shown above are well-made, water-resistant and nice looking to boot. Stick to rubber soles, not leather ones.
Another type of apparel to consider investing in for October through December is a hat. Sure, hats can often look silly or downright ugly, but if you stick to dark colors and a simple construction, you'll be in the clear. Of course, if you're already sold on the idea, you should buy caps online in order to get the bargain price.

SCARF Launches New Program
SCARF, the Shelby County Animal Shelter, and the City of Sidney are working together to control the feral cat population in Shelby County. A feral cat is a cat that has been born into wildness or has not had human interaction for a significant period of time and is able to survive in the wild.
The Shelby County Animal Shelter will conduct another TRAP-Neuter-Return (TNR) clinic for feral cats in the community again on December 12th. SCARF volunteers will work to notify the neighborhood where trapping will occur, trap cats, and return them to their neighborhood once the procedure has been completed. While the cats are at the clinic, they will be vaccinated against rabies and will have an ear tipped for identification purposes. Neighbors will be asked to keep pet cats indoors during the trapping and to refrain from feeding the feral cats so they may be more easily trapped. Funding for the program will be shared by the City of Sidney and SCARF.
According to Alley Cat Allies (a national advocacy organization dedicated to the protection and humane treatment of cats), scientific studies show that Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the humane and effective approach for managing feral cats. Trap-Neuter-Return improves the life of feral cats, improves their relationship with the people living near them, and decreases the size of colonies over time. The neutered cats will roam less and will not fight for mates thereby creating less noise.
Anyone wishing to volunteer for this program is urged to call the Animal Shelter at 937-498-7201

Imagery In The Odyssey
In Homer's Odyssey, what is an example of imagery from "The Sirens: Scylla and Charybdis." Please give the line numbers from the quotation.
1 Answer | Add Yours
In Book 12 of Homer's Odyssey, the title character and his crew sail away from Circe's island and continue their efforts to return to Ithaca. As is the case throughout Homer's work, the epic poet uses a number of images to help the audience visualize what he is describing. Circe's vivid description of some of the sheer rock formations Odysseus will see provides one example of imagery (12.77-79):
And no mortal man could climb it or step upon its top,
not even if he had twenty hands and feet,
for the rock is smooth, as though highly polished. (Richmond Lattimore translation)
Circe's image of a human being with 20 hands and feet provides a vivid description of the steepness of these cliffs.
Another example of Homer's vivid language can be found in Circe's description of the Scylla's voice, which she says is "is as loud as a newborn puppy's" (12.86). Thus, Circe's description conjures up in the audience's mind the image of this canine sound.
Finally, as Odysseus and his men approach the island of the Sirens, the wind ceases and the sea becomes calm. Homer, however, provides a lovely image to describe this. He sings that "a divinity lulled the waves to sleep" (12.169). Of course, water cannot literally sleep, but the waters are figuratively asleep.

Buckwheat. Probably isn't even real wheat. I probably am breaking the rules for this month's edition of the Session. But no, it's OK... if my fellow Canucks, the hosts at BeerTaster.ca are to be trusted:
We have the honour of hosting the 45th session which allows us to choose the topic we will all be exploring, we wanted to get back closer to the roots of the Session and pick a topic which was simple and yet gives a wide range of interpretations so we chose, simply (or perhaps not so simply), Wheat Beers. Feel free to take this topic in any direction you like, specific reviews, historical information, or any other twist you'd like to use. Wheat beers are a pretty wide topic and actually cover German style Weizen, Heffe Weizen, etc. along with Belgian style Witbier and even Flavoured Wheat beers. There are very few guidelines here, just have some fun drinking Wheat Beers in the fall instead of the summer.
I first had this back in 2007 and whenever I go to Quebec, I look for a six pack. First thing is that it is cheap for Canada, six bucks a six. But, besides the value proposition, it's just a really swell beer. Sort of like a whole wheat Hoegaarden.
And it displays what I like about wheat can do for you - grassiness. It's the sauvignon blanc of the beer world, a grape that can inspire and surprise or it can taste like cat pee. There are a heck of a lot of wheat beers that are sharp or even bilious because all the brewer thinks is that he needs to shuffle wheat in and take out some barley. Not so. Not so. It needs a few spices whether of the seedy sort or from the yeast. I prefer the styles, like the wheat beers of Munich and Belgium, that have some creaminess from (I believe) raw wheat. This one has that. Me, I would added rolled barley to boost that more but I am always adding rolled barley to beer, ain't I.
Nothing profound this month. Just props for one of the better Canadian wheat beers even if I have no idea what the label is supposed to me. It's like a guy with a headache standing near a knee-high volcano and having a bad time of it all. The beer is nothing like that.

The internal organs of a British girl who died while vacationing in India were not sold on the black market, doctors at the hospital where her body was taken said Thursday, as they pledged to solve the mystery over her death.
BPM Media
Gurkiren Kaur, 8
Gurkiren Kaur, 8, was missing most of her internal organs when her body was returned to the UK, according to her parents who feared she may have been the victim of the illegal trade in human body parts.
Doctors had promised not to remove her organs, her parents said Tuesday, telling reporters that attempts to get information had been frustrated by medical officials in the Punjab region.
Gurkiren died on April 2, moments after a doctor at a private clinic treating her for dehydration gave her an injection, her family said.
Shabana Mahmood, a member of parliament in the girl's home city of Birmingham, England, has raised what she called the "deeply suspicious circumstances" of the case with Britain's Foreign Secretary, William Hague.
Dr. Surinder Oberoi, head of forensic medicine and toxicology at the Government Medical College in Patiala, said Thursday that the organs had been removed and sent to various laboratories for analysis because the cause of death could not be conclusively established.
He dismissed fears the organs had been taken for sale as "false allegations" and said the parents' comments were an attempt to "divert attention from the real cause," which he believed was a "congenital heart defect for which she had previously undergone surgery."
He said the final report on the Gurkiren's death would be given to the family, but did not indicate whether the organs would be returned so that a second autopsy could be carried out by a British coroner.
Parents of an eight-year-old girl want an investigation after she died in a clinic in India and had her organs removed without them knowing. ITV's Mark Gough reports.
Gurkiren's mother, Amrit, and father, Santokh, told ITV News on Tuesday that the clinic's doctor refused to tell them what had been in the injection.
Amrit, 50, a postal worker, said: "I said, 'What is the injection for? She doesn't need an injection she just needs a saline drip for half an hour or 45 minutes.' He didn't answer me at all he just gave me a blank look and totally ignored me and just inserted the needle into a syringe and as soon as he pushed it in her neck flipped backwards.
"Her eyes rolled over and she turned a grayish-whitish color. She just blinked twice and her mouth was left open."
Oberoi insisted that whatever was in the injection would be identified "in the chemical analysis" that came from laboratory reports on the organs.
The World Health Organization estimates that more than 106,000 organs were transplanted globally in 2010. That included about 10,000 kidneys that were illegally obtained, the agency said.
However, Art Caplan, co-chairman of a 2009 United Nations task force on organ trafficking, said Wednesday that the evidence in Gurkiren's case did not point to organ theft.
Organ transplant is a complex effort that involves precise coordination to be successful. Blood and tissue types of both donor and recipient must match, the size of the organs must be compatible and the organs must be preserved after death.
Since Gurkiren was only taken to the hospital for autopsy four days after her death, the timeline of her case doesn't suggest that any of that would have happened.
"I'm skeptical," said Caplan, director of the division of medical ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center. "Whenever I see somebody say that somebody killed somebody for parts, I'm skeptical."
In a statement, Britain's Foreign Office said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Punjab, India, on April 2. We are providing consular assistance in the case and cannot comment further."

"I am beyond disappointed that once again Congress has been derailed by extreme Tea Party politics at the expense of middles class families. The stakes for our nation are too high to get drawn into these games of political brinksmanship.
When they are done tallying their political points, Tea Party Republicans will realize that middle class families, unemployed workers and our economy cannot afford to take on average a $1,000 tax increase and a lapse in unemployment benefits. The lack of action will also severely affect doctors who will see Medicare reimbursement rates drop, a result that will ultimately affect patience on the

"Congressman Sam Farr has been a vital proponent of this project every step of the way, and we are grateful for his leadership in aggressively seeking viable alternative forms of transportation for the Monterey Bay region."
"Once in a while, when you've just about given up hope, miracles actually do happen. But in truth, luck is made out of people, and a lot of people worked to make this happen. We at FORT are looking forward to an exciting new chapter working with the RTC to get a coastal rail trail built as the centerpiece of the Santa Cruz County portion of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network while preserving the rail functionality of the corridor for potential future uses," said the Chair of Friends of teh Rail & Trail Bruce Sawhill.

Rep. Farr Bill to Upgrade Pinnacles to Park Status
Washington, DC – Congressman Sam Farr (D-Carmel) today introduced H.R.3641, the Pinnacles National Park Act—legislation to upgrade the Pinnacles National Monument in San Benito County to 'National Park' status. The status upgrade of the area would recognize and preserve its diverse ecosystems, geology, and cultural history, and would place it under the National Park System. The bill was previously introduced in the 111th Congress as H.R.3444.
National Monuments, smaller than National Parks, are centered around a specific resource and lack diversity. The Pinnacles region, at 14,500 acres, is home to 32 floral and fauna species that hold special federal or state status, is the only remaining home of the California Condor and encompasses a unique blend of

Statement: President's Joint Session Address
"Jobs, jobs, jobs. That is the only thing on our nation's mind, and tonight President Obama presented clear ideas to get our economy moving and creating those much needed jobs. While these ideas of investing in our infrastructure, communities and people might not seem revolutionary, they are the most basic and surest way to get people working today and well into the future.
The American Jobs Act now stands in stark contrast to the Republican cut, trim and squeeze agenda, that has failed to create any jobs. With a clear plan on the table, I hope Republicans are ready to answer the calls of our nation and drop partisan politics for the greater good of our country."

"Chris Bird goes beyond the usual hardware and into the critical software: the ethics, the morality, the emotional and psychological elements of preparation, survival, and aftermath in a way that gives his book the third dimension of depth. I would recommend The Concealed Handgun Manual for the library of anyone who goes armed in public." Massad Ayoob, director, Lethal Force Institute, and author, The Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry
"A really good book for someone who is not sure if they want to carry. It definitely fills a need." —Former Senator Jerry Patterson
"Chris Bird's text on this important subject is thorough and expert. Highly recommended!" John Farnam, president, Defense Training International
"The book explores all aspects and ramifications of carrying a concealed firearm. In addition to shooting instruction and guidance as to when it would be necessary to fire a gun in self-defense, the book also recounts many real-life events. This is an extremely useful guide for those who want to learn more about the world of concealed carry." Michael O. Humphries, American Rifleman
"Through Chris Bird's significant journalistic talents, the reader meets numerous gun owners, and learns why they carry a defensive firearm. A good number of Bird's anecdotes concern women and how they came to carry a gun. Expect stories about female stalking survivors, women who used cunning and courage to emerge unscathed from home burglaries, survivors of infamous shoot-outs and more." Gila Hayes, Women & Guns
"A must for those looking to carry a concealed handgun." The Second Amendment Foundation Reporter
"These are all things you need to know to cope with the emotions that overwhelm you in such a situation. He also shows what can go wrong and how the consequences may not be what you expect. If you wear a gun, this is a book you can't afford not to read." Bill Clede, American Guardian Magazine
"Although intended to show readers how to choose, carry, and shoot a gun in self-defense, it does much more. The final chapter gives an excellent overview for each state's concealed carry laws. I use it in my CWP class to help with questions about laws in other states." H. Richard Daniel, president, Gun Owners of South Carolina

I used Thursday's dip to establish a position in Paladin Resources (OTCPK:PALAF). Paladin has been in the news quite a bit recently, because of its approval to begin a second mine in Malawi, as well as its takeover bid for Australian-based Summit Resources. However, because this is the first time I've looked at Paladin in quite a while, I think it is useful to start by detailing Paladin's uranium assets.
Paladin's uranium assets: Paladin has interests in 4 large uranium projects around the world. In December, Paladin announced that it had commissioned its Langer Heinrich mine in Namibia. This is the first major uranium mining project to opened anywhere in the world in the last 20 years, and it is 100% owned by Paladin Resources. Inferred resources of uranium at this mine are about 55 million pounds, giving the mine a valuation of over $4.6 billion at current spot uranium prices.
Just a week ago, Paladin announced formal approval of its Kayelekeera uranium mine in Malawi. Paladin has an 85% stake in this project, with the Republic of Malawi owning the other 15 percent. Inferred reserves at this mine are 34.5 million tons, giving it a value of about $3 billion at current spot prices. Paladin's stake is worth about $2.55 billion. In addition, Paladin believes that further exploration around the mine will reveal significant satellite deposits of uranium, which could allow the mine's life to be extended significantly.
Paladin also has two joint ventures in Australia. The first, the Isa Uranium Joint Venture, gives Paladin a 50 percent stake in the Valhalla and Skal uranium projects in North Queensland. Summit Resources is the other company involved in this joint venture with a 50 percent stake, and Paladin has just launched a hostile takeover for Summit Resources in order to gain a 100 percent stake in these deposits. Summit also has interests in several other projects around Australia. The Valhalla deposit is estimated to contain about 57 million pounds of uranium, while the Skal deposit is estimated to contain 11 million pounds. This gives the entire project a value of about $5.7 billion, and makes Paladin's 50 percent stake worth $2.8 billion at the current spot uranium price. However, getting this uranium out of the ground will require the regional government to change current policy with regard to uranium mining, so this project is likely to be held up by bureacratic red tape for some time. Still, considering Summit resources other assets, Paladin appears to be getting a good deal if they purchase Summit for anything less than $1 billion (the current bid is about $900 million).
Finally, Paladin owns a 41.7% interest in the Bigrlyi Uranium Joint Venture, with Energy Metals owning the other 59% of the venture. The reserve estimate for Bigrlyi was updated today, with an increase to 14.3 million pounds of uranium (a 26 percent increase over previous estimates). Therefore, the total value of the deposit at current spot prices is $1.2 billion, with Paladin's stake amounting to about $500 million.
Overall, Paladin therefore has a uranium asset base that is valued at approximately $10.5 billion. The acquisition of Summit resources, if it succeeds, would bring this valuation up to over $13 billion. Given that Paladin has about 501 million shares outstanding at present, Paladin has a current market capitalization of about $3.5 billion, representing a significant discount to Paladin's asset base even when taking into account the risk-free interest rate. Moreover, the value of Paladin's asset base will continue to rise with the spot price, which has been projected by many industry analysts to surpass $100/lb this year. Because Paladin has not sold forward most of its production, the company has a much higher degree of leverage with regard to the spot uranium price than most producers, and I believe this will be a positive factor for the share price going forward.
Finally, because of Paladin's strong future cash flows, the company has significant room for growth via mergers and acquisitions as well as through further exploration. Relative to its asset base, Paladin appears to be trading at a significant discount, even when taking into account present value calculations by using the risk free interest rate. The recent dip in the company's stock price appears to have created an opportunity here, and that is why I decided to establish my position on this pullback.
Tomorrow I will be detailing Paladin's expected production schedule, so be sure to check back for more as we discuss Paladin's expected cash flows.

Gone, But Not Forgotten!
I'll just FF until this shit is over with. TPTB really didn't have anyone else to write Nicole with (TPTB axed Jack) so it was inevitable that she end up with Dr. Doofenshmirtz, until they free up someone else into her orbit. Brady is currently busy, and Eric is gonna come back soon, I don't think he'll be lonely for long, not sure what options he could pair up with, considering the current cast.

"Dr. Doofensmirtz" Funny! I swear, the only bright spot about having Daniel around is all the funny names for him people on this board come up with. Whatever happened to that list? I think there were more than 80 on it, and this seems like a new one.
|Jun 29 2012, 02:55 PM Post #366
Don't get up. So how are you? What happened, eh? Let me guess, Stefano told you that you could fly,and you jumped off a building. HeHe It's funny right, no I'm sorry Bad EJ, I should'nt be that cruel!
Daniel spends the night with Nicole? Nicole might as well help Daniel raise "their" baby" :sarcasm:
|Jun 29 2012, 03:00 PM Post #367
She's surprised he spends the night?
If this is because she expects him to have sex and just leave. Then that's sad for Nicole's feelings about herself.
|Jun 29 2012, 03:29 PM Post #368
I'm just being spoiled with all this Dan/Nicole stuff! :wub2:
I better enjoy it before someone gets fired or something...usually when I start to enjoy something, well, shit like that usually happens.

Imo, since the re-set, all the scenes of unmarried couples hooking up have been scuzzy and completely devoid of romance. I think it says more about MarDar (or whoever is really writing this stuff) and their love lives than about the characters. Sad, indeed.
|Jun 29 2012, 08:06 PM Post #370
Sounds like either T/W or TPTB have already started doing some editing. Didn't the SOD article say that Dicole would have a date, dancing, before having sex? That scene was cut. Reminds me of how more scenes of Bitchifer abusing Jack were cut as well.
I think MarDar was going to write Dicole, but T/W will write for Dannifer. Personally, I think the Dicole story sounds more interesting than Dannifer. I'm intrigued that DOOL was just going to blatantly write a Friends with Benefits storyline. Sounded refreshing. Then maybe something could have developed out of that and surprised them and everyone else. Prefer that to the insta-love and bedhopping. If people want to hop beds, fine. But don't call it love every time.

What the hell is it about Melanie that turns on all of the young, straight men in Salem? She may be a beautiful woman but she has less of an interesting personality than that tree in in the middle of HTS. Andrew could do so much better than Melanie.
As for Gabi, she proves she is just like her brother - pretty to look at but as dumb as a Judge Judy defendant. It's no wonder Andrew manipulates her. He may have poor taste in women but he's definitely a lot smarter than these idiots.
|Jun 30 2012, 05:22 PM Post #374
You aren't kidding about Gabi. I don't see how it is a bit illegal to hire someone to stalk yourself - scummy - but not illegal, as long as you don't report it to the police. The leap from that to kidnapping is absolutely, totally huge and any sane person would immediately run to the police. How this is even going to play as soap opera plausible - I have no idea.
Will getting his apartment back would be better if we had a snowball's chance in hell of seeing his apartment.

Skip to comments.Former Obama Staffer Busted for Attempted Identity Theft of Iowa Sec of State
Posted on 01/21/2012 6:59:50 AM PST by Conservativegreatgrandma
Barack Obamas 2008 Iowa New Media Director was arrested Friday for attempting to use the identities of Secretary of State Matt Schultz, and/or his brother Thomas, with the intent to falsely implicate the Secretary Schultz in illegal or unethical behavior. Zach Edwards, 29, of Des Moines, currently works for Link Strategies, a Democrat-affiliated organization with ties to Iowa Senator Tom Harkin. Edwards is the Director of New Media for Link Strategies.
The Secretary of States office discovered the alleged crime and reported it to authorities. Edwards turned himself in to the Iowa DCI agents Friday afternoon. He was charged with identity theft, a misdemeanor, and booked into the Polk County jail. Edwards posted $2,000 bail and was released later on Friday. He faces up to two years in prison.
(Excerpt) Read more at theiowarepublican.com ...
This is the party of Obama and Harkin. The end justifies the means.
Another tidbit that demonstrates that Obama and those who surround him are thugs and/or criminals.
HO, HO, HO. The party of transparency caught. They'll do anything.
2K bond and possible 2 years?!?
Identity theft ought to be as serious as murder, or at least manslaughter, in my book! Most have no idea what it takes to get your good name back, if at all, after being a victim of this crap.
Treat it the same as home invasion with the penalties to be exacted as would a well prepared victim. Bang!
He learned it in this in his community organizing class...it's the Chicago way.
"Edwards turned himself in to the Iowa DCI agents Friday afternoon"
'Just putting himself in line to be husseins media czar this year.
I've always said that the Democrats will put Republicans in JAIL (or worse) if they could just figure out a way to do that. Most people on this site, and certainly most Republicans in leadership positions laugh it off.
...but they laugh it off at their own peril. Hopefully, at least this guy learns just who Democrats are and what they'll do, whenever they can find a way to do it.
Unreal, but not unbelievable, considering who we're dealing with here.
Hey, he was out of work. The Obama campaign people gave him a job. That helped lower the unemployment numbers. Now he is an out of work criminal. Yuck, yuck. One down, thousands more of Obama's criminal employees to go. Including the biggest liar, fraud and criminal of all who is sitting in our White House.
Sounds like part of the George Soros "Secretary of State Project" which involved efforts to get "progressives" into Secretary of State jobs, especially in key battleground states. The idea is to have people in position to overlook voter fraud.
They are pulling out all the stops this year.
This election season, stopping demonrat voter fraud will be like trying to stop illegal immigrants crossing the border: catch one, but miss catching 99.
Americans need to step up our game for both.
You see one cockroach...
Identity theft ought to be as serious as murder, or at least manslaughter, in my book! Most have no idea what it takes to get your good name back, if at all, after being a victim of this crap.
I agree plus I believe that the victim of the identity theft should be able to sue for reparation equal to three times the damages out of the Identity Thief. You could do it like it was under the RICO statutes.
Stealing Your Life, Your Good Name (Reputation), Your potential earnings potential, etc. Prison is too good for a thief like that. Make it a Capital Crime with the potential for life-ending consequences. Although our 'Progressive Friends' would never go along with that. Too many of the constituents would be effected.
I think you may be correct.
Now how did MSNBC miss this one
It doesn't say what he actually did. Too bad. I bet that was entertaining.
-Saul Alinsky
Those that support illegal immigration also make sure the penalties for identity theft are kept low- for obvious reasons. I agree it should be a serious crime.
Yes, but how was he impersonating Schultz? Fake emails?
I'm curious on this one, too. It says he wanted to frame Schultz.
Perhaps if he hacked the e-mail account he could generate "bad" e-mails
By the time the e-mails were proven to be false the damage would be done.
Powerline has a piece on this—it's a crime. We'll see who can prosecute this. The Polk Co. Attorney is a Democrat and so is the AG. Nice, huh? http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/01/not-just-a-democrat-dirty-trick-but-a-crime.php
Just 15 days earlier, on June 9, the Iowa Democratic Party filed an ethics complaint against Schultz, claiming the Secretary of State of used public resources to campaign against presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman. The Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board dismissed the complaint on July 19.

I'm Nicole Marie.
I made the very loose decision at the age of ten that I wanted to be a writer of some kind. I kept journals, wrote poems about boys (and tumbleweeds) and maintained straight A's in all of my English classes. Since then I have wanted to go into Forensics, Theater, even Dentistry, but I always came back to my first love.
After attending community college for 2 and a half years and taking every English and Writing course I could fit into my schedule, I transferred to Rowan University where I received a Bachelor's in Writing Arts (with a Creative Writing concentration) in May 2011.
I am Contest Coordinator and Assistant Poetry Editor for non-profit magazine Philadelphia Stories by day, and by night (and, sometimes day) I tend bar. Since graduation, I spend my time writing tons of short fiction and poetry and trying to catch a bite on my resume.
Sometimes I'm motivated, sometimes I'm not, but I never stop loving the writing process.
I have a strange fascination with the macabre, but I'm just a normal girl (sort of) trying to make it in a tough industry. I still love Forensics, and at times, I still dream of Broadway.
I started blogging in order to create another outlet for myself as a creative writer, and it has become a great exercise to keep those juices flowing. I've also met some fantastic – and supportive – blogging friends along the way.
I use this space to showcase some writing, search for other writers, make some friends, complain a little bit, and discuss some other joys in life.
Thanks for reading!

RUSH: You know, there are all kinds of left-wing publications and individuals, folks, who are beside themselves over global warming. I have an entire Stack of Stuff today on this. From the Australian newspaper: "Twenty-Year Hiatus in Rising Temperatures Has Climate Scientists Puzzled," and they are all citing a magazine article in The Economist. "In a lengthy article this week, The Economist magazine said if climate scientists were credit-rating agencies, then climate sensitivity -- the way climate reacts to changes in carbon dioxide levels -- would be on negative watch but not yet downgraded."
Because this story indicates that carbon in the atmosphere may actually be making things cooler, not warmer. They are beside themselves with rage and anger and frustration in the global warming community, which we know is a hoax now. That continues to be something that's utterly laughable to me. We know by virtue of released e-mails from the University of East Anglia in the UK that the whole thing -- the manmade global warming program -- is a hoax. It's a political hoax.
I realize there are some people who haven't heard this. We have new listeners tuning in each and every day, and I realize that many of you new arrivals here think that global warming is the law of the land. You've never questioned it, and you think it's happening. Global warming is as real as the sun coming up. Considering the alternative is impossible, and you believe that people who don't believe in it are literal kooks. I want to tell you new arrivals about this -- and I know you low-information people are here in increasing numbers each and every day.
Again, I've got no reason to make anything up. I have no reason to lie to you. There's nothing in it for me to do that. I don't have an agenda so important to me that I want people believing what I believe when it isn't true. That's the exact opposite of what my objective is. My objective is to have people grounded in truth and reality in greater and greater numbers, governing themselves responsibly, participating in the arena of ideas. I have no interest in lying to you. I have none.
It wouldn't facilitate one thing. It wouldn't get me anything. I'm not trying to get your votes. It doesn't matter. I have no reason to lie to you. Now, there are rare times when I'm wrong about something, but not purposefully. I'm telling you that if you are a new listener to the program or a recently arrived low-information person, the manmade global warming story is a hoax. Revealed scientist e-mails, one scientist to another, acknowledged how they left out data that contradicted their theory.
They added data that wasn't true. The whole hockey stick that explains medieval warming and so forth, none of it's real. It was all manufactured. It literally is a hoax. So in light of that, I marvel at the release of stories nearly every day about people just now figuring out that it isn't warming. Regardless, manmade or otherwise. The stories they're telling themselves to explain this are hilarious, if you operate from the baseline level that it's a hoax. Now, you may want to believe it's true.
I wouldn't be surprised if a number of you do -- and here's why. The way you've been approached on this is to first make you feel guilty. And if not you personally, at least other Americans who've been living their lives too "irresponsibly" without concern for the environment. They've been polluting, they've been wasting electricity, they've been driving big cars, they've been cooling or warming their homes to extremes, whatever. You have been made to feel appropriately guilty or angry, but then you have been offered absolution.
You've been offered a way out of the guilt for having contributed to the destruction of the planet, and that is if you will go out and buy a hybrid, or if you will oppose oil companies, or if you will oppose fracking. If you will oppose the Keystone pipeline, if you will oppose the growth of any fossil fuel industry, then you're a good person. If you will agree that people need to pay higher taxes in order to save the planet, you're a good person. They've offered you absolution.
It's all a hoax.
I would hope you could be made to believe this. If I could convince all of you who don't believe me to accept that manmade global warming is a hoax -- and I could do it, if you'd give me two straight hours. I could do it probably in less time than that. I could walk you through how it's been done. I could have you nodding your head in agreement at several intervals as I explain how the left has been approaching you on this.
I would ask you some questions that, if you honestly listened to and tried to answer, you would have no choice but than to conclude I'm right. But you would also have to be able to independently think, not just accept a bunch of propaganda. One such question: "Who is say...?" I mean, how old is the earth? Nobody knows for sure. Some people think it's 10,000 years; others think it's billions. But whatever the answer, your length of time on the earth is insignificant. It's infinitesimal.
Your time on earth is barely the size of the head of a pin, if that big. So what possible impact could you be making? But more importantly than that, who's to say that the time you are alive is not normal? Or who is to say that when you were alive is normal? What is normal? In 10,000 years or a billion years of the existence of the earth, what is the normal temperature? What kind of vanity does it take to think that the spate of perfection, the state of perfection and normalcy happens to be when you're alive?
And then when that's changing, something's dreadfully wrong? How do you know all these things? Why do you accept that when you happen to be alive, it's normal? Anyway, I'm just taking individual little stabs here at trying to make you think and question the propaganda that you have been assaulted with that America primarily is responsible for the earth getting warmer -- and that means utter disaster, by the way, when it probably doesn't anyway. If it got warmer, it'd be better for some.
There are some people who've been freezing their tushes off for six months who'd probably appreciate it being a little warmer. Anyway, the point is, there's this article out in the economist which has everybody just roiled. They don't know what to do. In fact, there's a companion story here about the problem in the UK. Old people are freezing to death. Two things: It is so cold, and taxes are so high, that old people cannot afford the fuel necessary to stay warm -- and, sorry, their windmills aren't cutting it, and the solar farms aren't cutting it, and all the people out driving hybrids is not making their houses warmer.
So old people are dying in Britain because it's so cold, and taxes -- environmental taxes -- are so high. So that's one. But here's what's got 'em all upset in The Economist. "Over the past 15 years air temperatures at the Earth's surface have been flat," they haven't moved, "while greenhouse-gas emissions have continued to soar." Everything you were told about greenhouse gases was wrong. "The more of it, the worse it gets! The more of it, the hotter it gets!" Well, greenhouse gas emissions have soared.
By the way, do you know that "greenhouse gas" is what you exhale?
Do you realize that by virtue of your very existence, you are poisoning the planet? Sorry, carbon dioxide, you exhale it. (exhales) I just poisoned the planet! The problem is, I can't help it. I was designed that way. Do you really think that a God... That's another problem. You may not believe in God. If you don't believe in God, manmade global warming is a real easy to accept. If you do believe in God, becomes a little harder. 'Cause if you believe in God, then you believe in creationism, and then you have to accept that you really don't matter.
Not in these terms.
Your life matters in terms of what it makes, but in terms of the ecosystem and how complex it is, you can't possibly matter. None of us do. But of those who matter, only those who fly on jets and drive cars do? Heh-heh-heh. Right. Right. The people that fly in jets and drive cars, they're the ones that are ruining the earth? Yeah, right. People who are engaging in progress are destroying the planet? Right. That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
Anyway, "Over the past 15 years air temperatures at the Earth's surface have been flat," they haven't moved; in fact, they may be lowering, "while greenhouse gas emissions have continued to soar. The world added roughly 100 billion tons of carbon to the atmosphere between 2000 and 2010. That is about a quarter of all the CO2 put there by humanity since 1750." Can I put that another way? In the ten years from 2000-2010, a hundred billion tons of carbon was added to the atmosphere. That's 25% of all the CO2 since 1750.
That's really concentrated levels. "And yet, as James Hansen, the head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, observes, 'the five-year mean global temperature has been flat for a decade.'" Hansen, by the way, is one of the hoaxsters. "Temperatures fluctuate over short periods, but this lack of new warming is a surprise" to scientists, but it's not to me. "Ed Hawkins, of the University of Reading, in Britain, points out that surface temperatures since 2005 are already at the low end of the range of projections derived from 20 climate models.
"If they remain flat, they will fall outside the models' range within a few years," meaning their models are all wrong. "If, however, temperatures are likely to rise by only 2°C ... the calculation might change," and it goes on to get into some scientific minutia here. But the point is that just one story has the entire science community in an absolute tizzy. In the Australian, the way they write this in their headline is: "Twenty-Year Hiatus in Rising Temperatures Has Climate Scientists Puzzled."
Twenty years!
The actual length of time that there hasn't been any warming is now 20 years, despite all that carbon dioxide put in the air, and they can't figure it out. Well, it's very simple. They were bat-excrement crazy! They're just flat-out wrong. "The fact that global surface temperatures have not followed the expected global warming pattern is now widely accepted." No, it's not. It should be. But it isn't. Another story: Sunspot activity has slowed down, and that means global warming has stopped, and the earth is beginning to cool. Enjoy global warming while it lasts!
RUSH: The last ice age was 4,000 years ago. Therefore, my friends, the earth has been warming for the last 4,000 years. The problem is, scientists can't tell us why. Not the last 4,000. They say global warming is just in the last 25 years -- ah, "manmade." Yes. But why has it been warming for 4,000 years? They can't tell us. They have no idea. In fact, they don't know why we have ice ages in the first place. They don't know why it cools. All we know is that a lot more people die from the cold than from global warming. And here is Vincent, Indianapolis. Hi, Vincent. Glad you called. Great to have you on the program.
CALLER: (garbled cell throughout) Hi, how are you today?
RUSH: I'm fine. Thank you very much.
CALLER: Okay. I just wanted to call and thank you and let you know that I started listening about six months ago, and my eyes have been opened and my mind's been enlightened from you. I watch the news now with more realization (sic) eyes.
RUSH: Six months ago? How did it happen?
CALLER: Well, I was raised in a Democratic family, then just started cruising through the radio, trying to find something that I could listen to, and happened upon your show and was just, "Okay, somebody making sense."
RUSH: "[S]omebody making sense." So stuff that you had probably thought all your life. Was I saying things that you hadn't heard before or things that you believed anyway?
CALLER: Pretty (garbled cell) just my family, "Why is this happening?" and none of them could give me an answer.
RUSH: But you were able to have those answers explained on this program?
CALLER: Absolutely, yes.
RUSH: Well --
CALLER: I'm one of the few under 35-year-olds -- 27 here at the end of the month -- and it's just that we're not all low-information voters out here in this age range, and we all do (garbled).
RUSH: I know. And it's because of people like you that we have hope.
