While not a Texraid class sporter..I thought this was done well. Saw it last week in a pawnshop and went back for a second look..OOOPPPS! I forgot to take a pic of the crown..concave and done well. I don't see these with this style stock very often. Serial #3422403 makes it 1942 production. It has a Redfield scope..Bear Cub. It also has the base of a Lyman aperture sight. The bolt is marked R.. the bend was executed well...reminds me more of a Model of 1917.The barrel is 2 groove and like a mirror. The bluing is very nice. I normally hold sporterised military rifles in disdain..but this one is very well crafted and subdued. Comments welcome.

You need to uncock it....
Actually that is nice and well done. You'll have to bring it by some time. There were some good smiths turning out quality work on those in the 50s and 60s. P. O. Ackley was charging $65.00 and up for stocking like that back in the day. Sometimes you can find initials under the butt plate or inside the stock.
I have it cocked and loaded...a big rat surprised me when I opened the lid of my grill last night...I need to be ready...it was a big rat...a pellet rifle or .22 is not enough...8mm, 30-06 or .303 might do it. Then I will have a cape made for the floor. I will remove the recoil pad... White Line Pachmayr..and look for markings.
The trigger is very crisp...smooth.

P.S. For horizontal outside on the deck photo shoots..the rifle while being presented boltside is uncocked..note pics #1 and #2. When presenting the rifle bolts side down, in order to tilt the rifle more toward the photographer the bolt handle is actually positioned up..and of course cocked on opening....note pics #3 and #4.
It's a little new for my taste but I LIKE it.
Well, off to OGCA...I'll tell Vic you have a new passion.

I went to the FFL guy at the big flea market today. A guy I see at all the gunshows came in with his dad. He asked if I would like to see a Japanese bring back rifle..we went to his car and I took a look at the rifle..then mentioned that I had snagged a sporter 03-A3. As soon as I pulled it out of my car.."My dad did that one." We took the rifle inside and sure enough his father said " Yep..I did that rifle in1992..the guy put it in his safe and there it sat for 16 years." He mentioned that he inletted the stock and bedded the barrel..also turned the barrel. His son wanted to buy it back and I told him he would be first on the list. Small world!
Nice looking sporter; I miss the point about the bolt, it looks like an A4 bolt to me.

I may be in the wrong place but here goes...Have a 3006 with no markings anywhere on the outside,,,the closest thing I can find to it is a Remington M30,,have had it apart ,on the barrel under the stock there is a Y 3 1 2 stamped in it,,,under the metal butt plate stamped in the stock there is a number can't remember it right now but will look again when I get home.Butt plate has a round trap door for lack of a better word to store cleaning kit in stock.I will try and get some pictures on here so you can have a look.Myself have never know remington to put out a gun without any markings on it,not even the calibur.Anyboby got any ideas?Thanks Rick
The M30 was the Remington civilian continuation of the Enfield production. It is basically a M17 without the sight housing (wings).
Early production (pre-1926) was cock-on-closing, means an ulaltered Enfield mechanism. Post-1925 production was changed to cock-on-open mechanism, based on the Mauser M98. Production ended in 1940.
The first version is way scarcer than the laterr one.

Jefferson City Public School District approves tax rate.
School board approves unanimously.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The 2013 Jefferson City Public School District tax rate is approved for the year.
The school board met today and discussed the tax rate. The board unanimously agreed to a slight increase in the debt service levy.
The tax will go from $3.677 to $3.6934, a $.0164 change in levy from this year to last.
Jefferson City School District officials say they did not want to raise the tax too high because the economy has not been good.
Chief Financial Officer Jason Hoffman said, "The change is very, very minor. It's a slight increase. We've been rolling back our tax rate the last four years. We didn't want to raise the tax rates much because the economy has been so bad."

Paula Broadwell, whose extra-marital affair with David Petraeus forced him to step down as CIA director, will not be charged with cyber-stalking Tampa socialite Jill Kelley who is a family friend of Petraeus', federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
A recently released audio recording revealed that former CIA director David Petraeus said his wife will divorce him if he follows through with a campaign for the presidential seat, according to the Daily News.
David Petraeus' wife, Holly, threatened to divorce her husband in light of his extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, according to a source. The scandal forced Petraeus to resign as CIA director and now it might cost him his 38-year marriage with Holly, with whom he shared two adult children.
In their first public appearance together since news of her extramarital affair went public, Paula Broadwell and her husband Scott left Washington, D.C., and moved back into their Charlotte, S.C., home to face the scandal with their close family and friends.
Former CIA Director General David Petraeus hired a top Washington lawyer to help him figure out the scandal that surfaced from his career-ending extramarital affair, according to Reuters.
Paula Broadwell, the author who had an extramarital affair with the former CIA director, regrets the damage the scandal brought upon her family, a close family friend said.

2014 IEL Thesis Award
2014 IEL Thesis Award
2014 IEL Thesis Award
2014 IEL Thesis Award
We are glad to announce that Mr. Alessandro Melcarne who is going to defend his thesis on January 30, 2015 was awarded on December 20, 2014 in Rome the First Prize
for the Best young scholar paper by the Società Italiana di Diritto ed
Economia (SIDE). The paper presented, part of his PhD dissertation is
"To Review or Not Review? That is the question. The Dilemma of a
Careerist Judge".
According to the Jury "Melcarne's paper is not a mere extension of the literature, but identifies a problem "out there", namely the behavior of members of the Italian Constitutional Court (ICC), and analyzes such a behavior theoretically and practically. The paper identifies the interest in post-ICC-appointments as an important driver of judicial behavior. Results are unexpected and well-illustrated. The paper offers fascinating and very relevant policy implications concerning incentives of judges. The Author shows an outstanding maturity. Hence, we believe that it provides a substantial contribution and qualities for the award."
The prize delivered in memory of Brenno Galli
for the most promising young scholar's paper in Law and Economics
presented at the SIDE-ISLE annual conference.

The common
perception is that high or growing litigation rates in a country are a sign of
societal pathology. Studies of litigation rates, however, consistently report
that lawsuit filings per capita increase with economic prosperity, thus suggesting
that litigation rates are a natural consequence of prosperity and not
necessarily evidence of an overly litigious populace. India's substantial interstate variation in
litigation rates and in economic and noneconomic measures of well-being provide an opportunity to evaluate the
relation between well-being and litigation rates.$0Using many years of data on civil
filings in India's lower courts and High Courts, we present evidence that more
prosperous states have higher civil litigation
rates. We also report the first evidence that accounting for noneconomic
well-being, as measured by the education
and life expectancy components of the Human Development Index, explains
litigation rate patterns better than using
a purely economic measure of well-being, GDP per capita. Despite India's continuing economic growth, we present data that indicates India's enormous and growing civil
case backlog has discouraged civil case filings in recent years. These findings
raise the question whether India's
future economic growth will be compromised if courts at all levels, particularly lower
courts, do not resolve disputes more quickly.

The Roots of the U.S. Financial Crisis and the Ensuing "Too Big To Fail"
Frederic M. Scherer
Kennedy School
of Government Harvard
This lecture examines various facets of the "too big
to fail" debate. It will note that in the current context, "too big to fail"
may imply systemic risks from large financial institution size, compensating
economies of scale, political power, and (within narrower markets) power to set
prices above competitive levels. It will examine three stylized facts: the
contours of the recent merger wave among financial institutions, the
concomitant increase in the concentration of financial institution assets, and
the impressive rise in financial institutions' profits as a share of all U.S.
corporate profits,. It will argue that rising aggregate concentration of
financial institutions' assets may imply rise in the power to set
above-competitive prices in individual relevant banking markets – i.e., in
segments of what economists call "product characteristics space." There is not
much solid economic evidence on this last conjecture for investment banking firms,
but supporting evidence from the large number of studies focusing on commercial
banks is marshaled. The evidence on economies of scale is also imperfect, but
it implies that breakup of the largest banks need not cause great efficiency

text: The Gradius III wiki last edited by mento on 02/05/16 10:15AM View full history OverviewArcade title screen.The ten stage, third installment to Konami's popular Gradius franchise, aptly titled Gradius III, originally appeared in 1989 at Japanese game centers (aka Japanese Video Arcades). Of the ten stages, Stage 4 was infamous as being the first to offer 2.5D action. Gradius III was also the first title in the series to offer customizable weapon sets. Most recently, Gradius III has been made widely available through Nintendo's Wii Shop as well as a PSP release in the Gradius Collection.GameplayThe game is infamous as being one of the hardest of the series, as the original arcade version had no way to continue the game upon losing all lives, and a continue system wasn't even in place to be used at the discretion of the owner and operator. The biggest addition is the ability for the player to edit their weapon load-out, that will come with power ups collected through the game. Players can choose predetermined setups or opt to customize their own, though certain variations of weapons are not available between modes.StagesThere are a few differences between the Arcade and SNES versions of the game including some stages being switched around to the SNES having less stages then the ArcadeStage #ArcadeSNESStage 1DesertDesertStage 2BubbleBubbleStage 3Volcano, UndergroundVolcano, UndergroundStage 43D High SpeedMoaiStage 5MoaiFireStage 6CellPlantStage 7FireHigh Speed ZoneStage 8PlantBoss RushStage 9CrystalMechanical Base10 (Part I for Arcade)Boss RushCell10 (Part II, Arcade only)Basen/aHidden Stage 1 (Arcade only)Gradiusn/aHidden Stage 2 (Arcade only)Salamandern/aBosses (SNES)Stage 1GoliathStage 2Bubble EyeStage 3Big Core MK III / Iron MaidenStage 4Twin VaifStage 5Vulture DragonStage 6Choking WeedStage 7BeaconStage 8Zub Rush, Death MK II, Crystal Core, Big Core MK II , Covered Core, Dellinger CoreStage 9Disrupt, Shadow Dancer X2Final StageBacterionPortsSNESThe SNES version of Gradius III was released in 1991 and included a reduced difficulty setting and additional load-outs. The slowdown from the arcade version is replicated on this version and doesn't include the 2.5D and Crystal levels present in the arcade version. This version is the only version to include a method to continue the game once all lives are lost. A port was released for Virtual Console on April 23, 2007.Playstation 2The Playstation 2 version of Gradius III was bundled with Gradius IV and was closer to the arcade version of the game and includes the feature that allows the player to edit their weapon load-out. Because of the PS2's superior processing speed, an option is included to simulate the slow down of the original arcade game or to let the game play without any lag. This version doesn't have a continue option, but it does let the player select any stage they have already cleared.PSPThis version was released in 2006 as part of the Gradius Collection. This version keeps the arcade tradition of not allowing the player to continue once they have lost all lives.SoundtrackA soundtrack containing original music and arranged tracks was released by Konami on the Kings Records label on February 21, 1990. This music has been included on other Gradius themed albums, all released by Konami.

How do I...
- drop or withdraw from a class?
- decide if it's o.k. to go below full time (12 credits)?
- withdraw from the university (withdraw from all my classes)?
- change my adviser?
- change my major or minor?
- determine if a course taken at another school will transfer to UWEC?
- obtain a what-if degree audit?
- get a transcript?
- find out when my finals are?
- get help if I'm struggling in a class or not doing well?
- calculate my GPA?
- decide if I should take a course satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U)?
- obtain verification of my enrollment?
- earn retroactive credits for a foreign language?
- take the Math, English, or Foreign Language placement test?
1. How do I drop (withdraw from a class)?
During the first two weeks of fall and spring semesters, you can drop a full-semester class using MyBlugold CampS. There will be no record of your enrollment in the class on your transcript. If the course does not meet the entire semester, check for add/drop restrictions.
Starting the third week of the semester, you must obtain approval signatures on the Change of Registration form to withdraw from a class. A "W" will be denoted on your transcript.
Dates for dropping a class with no record of enrollment and for withdrawing from a class with a "W" are prorated for short courses (those lasting less than 16 weeks) and for courses during summer and winterim. You can check these dates on MyBlugold CampS.
2. How do I decide if it's o.k. to go below full time?
Dropping below full time (12 credits for a regular semester) could cause problems in the following areas:
- Athletic eligibility
- Health insurance (if the student is covered under his/her parent's health insurance, full time enrollment is often required)
- Veterans benefits
- Financial Aid
- Eligibility for the Dean's list
- Scholarships
3. How do I withdraw from the university (withdraw from all my classes)?
To withdraw from the University and all your courses, start in the Dean of Students Office (Schofield Hall, 240, #715-836-5626).
Academic Consequences of withdrawing from the university:
- Withdrawing from the university during the first two weeks of classes (the official period for adding or dropping classes) results in no academic penalty. A student receives either a full or partial refund of fees. The transcript indicates the student withdrew from the University.
- Withdrawing from the University after the second week of classes and before the tenth week of classes results in "W's" on your record indicating a withdrawal.
- Withdrawing from the University after the tenth week of classes will normally result in grades of "F's" for all unfinished classes. Exceptions to this policy, generally given for extenuating circumstances, may be obtained from the Dean of the College in which the student is enrolled, usually upon the recommendation of the Associate Dean of Students.
5. How do I change my major or minor?
Each major and minor has it's own procedures to follow. Please refer to the instructions found on the Registrar's web site.
6. How do I determine if a course taken at another school will transfer to UWEC?
Equivalencies for all UW System schools, Wisconsin Technical Colleges, private schools in Wisconsin, Minnesota schools, and UWEC study abroad programs can be found on MyBlugold CampS.
Prior approval forms: It is wise to do obtain prior approval before you take the course. If you're attending a Wisconsin or Minnesota school you should print out the equivalency currently on the web (see above), sign and date it, and turn it in to the Registration Office, Schofield 128.
Students attending a school not listed on either of the above web sites may file a Prior Approval Form.
7. How do I obtain a what-if degree audit?
Please view the tutorial video on the Advising website, student page.
8. How do I get a UWEC transcript?
Official and unofficial transcripts are requested through MyBlugold CampS. We have tutorial videos for each on the Advising website, student page.
9. How do I find the final exam schedule?
The preliminary finals schedule is available on the Registrar's web site.
Common exam times will be determined during the first month of the semester. Once they are determined, your exact exam schedule will be found on MyBlugold CampS; use the "Other Academic" drop down menu and select Final Exam Schedule.
10. Is there help if I'm struggling in a class or not doing well?
The first rule is always to talk with the instructor. She or he can often offer guidance, study tips, or help you with specific questions.
You should also utilized the resources of the Academic Skills Center (tutoring, supplemental instruction, readying and study strategies, etc.).
11. How do I calculate my GPA?
There is an on-line GPA calculator that calculates your semester GPA and can help you figure out what grades you have to get to raise your GPA.
12. Should I take a course satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U)?
That is a complicated question. It is best to talk to your advisor before taking a course S/U; some majors have restrictions. The options of S/U registration is open only to students with sophomore standing or above and a resident GPA of 2.00 or higher. The only exception: any student may enroll in a physical activity course on the S/U basis.
13. How do I obtain verification of my enrollment?
You can request enrollment verification through the Registrar's site.
16. How do I take the Math, English, or Foreign Language placement test?
Information for new freshmen, new transfers, and current students can be found on-line on the Academic Testing website.
New freshmen starting in the fall will take all three tests during Regional Placement testing in the spring. You'll receive information about Regional Placement testing in February.
Transfer students will have an opportunity to take the placement test during Transfer Orientation.

Leslie D. Kerluke MD - Vancouver Plastic Surgery
Facial Cosmetic Surgery Alberta and British Columbia Canada
Brow Lift: Sagging skin over the eyes or a person with deep frown lines due to stress of muscle over activity may be the result of a naturally low brow.
Facelift procedure is performed to create smoother, more pleasing contours to your face and neck and is intended to give a refreshed appearance.
Eyelid surgery is performed to correct problems of sagging skin over the eye and bags under the eye due to sun damage, aging or genetics.
Otoplasty procedure. Prominent ears that protrude from the side of the head, assymetrical or misshapen ears that cause a patient concern are candidates for this type of surgery.
Breast Surgery North Vancouver BC Canada
Breast augmentation can enhance the size of the breast as well as give you a better proportioned figure. If you are satisfied with the size of your breasts but wish to restore a more youthful contour you may be a candidate for a breast lift. Breast reduction surgery is designed for women with very large, pendulous breasts and may experience a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive weight, from back and neck pain or skin irritation.
Body Contouring Procedures British Columbia Canada
Butt lift surgery can improve the overall position and shape of the buttock after aging changes or significant weight loss. It involves removal of excess skin at the top or sometimes the bottom of the buttock to tighten the intervening skin.
Liposuction. Women and men who are not overweight but have isolated areas of fat they cannot get rid of through diet and exercise are good candidates for liposuction. Localized fat is often an inherited trait and liposuction is usually the only way to eliminate it.

Avon Regains Some Allure
Avon Products (AVP) CEO Andrea Jung is making headway in her efforts to pull the cosmetics giant out of a lengthy slump. Faced by falling sales and rising costs, Avon has laid off around 10% of its entire workforce, according to Morningstar. The company has been undergoing a massive reorganization plan that's costing up to $500 million. But now light is beginning to glimmer at the end of that dark tunnel.
Avon's sales during the three months ended Dec. 31 rose to $2.6 billion, up 9% compared to the same period of 2005. Net income edged ahead by 0.5% year over year to $184 million during the quarter. "The investments we are making in our business are clearly starting to deliver results," said CEO Andrea Jung in a press release Feb. 6.
Jung has been pushing aggressively in recent years to make her company more efficient. In one recent example, Avon said Jan. 9 that it's building a single distribution center in the Midwest that will employ 500 people and open in 2009. At the same time, the company is planning to phase out current distribution branches in Newark (Del.), and Glenview (Ill.) by mid-2009 and mid-2010, eliminating about 620 positions. Jung has also been outsourcing parts of Avon's operations; in November Avon announced a plan to hand over the responsibility for human resources work like payroll, compensation, and benefits to IBM Global Services. Avon's goal is to cut $300 million in costs by 2009.
At the same time the company is putting more effort into promoting its brand and making it more competitive. During the fourth quarter, Avon spent $89 million on advertising, up 95% from the same period of 2005. The increase went toward introducing new product lines like Anew Clinical ThermaFirm and superFULL mascara. This is in sharp contrast with 2005, when Avon cut its spending on advertising and promotions by 50%, while rivals like Procter & Gamble (PG) and L'Oreal were spending plenty and gaining sales.
After winning approval from China's government in February, 2006, Jung is also pushing through with a plan to direct-sell in the country, where door-to-door sales had been banned since 1998 (see BusinessWeek.com, 2/28/06, "Avon Calls, China Opens the Door"). At year end, Avon China had over 350,000 licensed Sales Promoters registered with the government and was engaged in training them to become Active Representatives within the direct-selling business.
Avon's fourth quarter results surprised Wall Street players, who bid up the stock 9.6% to $37.95 per share in midday trading on the New York Stock Exchange Feb. 6.
Avon still faces challenges. Fourth quarter operating profit sank 5% year over year to $282 million, dragged down by things like those hefty restructuring costs. While Jung continues grappling with the risks of transforming her business, her low-income customers will be sensitive to the weather in the global economy.
Jung remains optimistic. "As we move into 2007, we are still in the early years of our multi-year turnaround," Jung said in the press release. "We are confident that our plan is the right one, and we remain committed to restoring Avon to sustainable growth."

US air strike 'killed 17 Afghans'
Page Tools
A US air strike in eastern Afghanistan last week killed 17 civilians, including women and children, a governor said today as the search continued for the missing comrades of a rescued US soldier.
The Afghans were killed when US warplanes bombed a suspected militant hideout at Chichal village in troubled Kunar province late on Friday amid the search for the small team of elite US soldiers, the provincial governor said.
The US squad has been missing since June 28, when rebels shot down a helicopter sent to extract them, killing all 16 on board.
One team member was rescued on Saturday but three remain unaccounted for, the television network CNN said.
"Seventeen civilians died in the US bombing of the village," Kunar governor Assadullah Wafa said.
"There are a number of children and women among the victims, but I don't have the exact figure right now."
The US military was not immediately available to comment on the casualty figures given by the provincial governor and earlier cancelled a regular news briefing scheduled for today.
US spokesman Colonel James Yonts said at the weekend that "all possible efforts are taken to prevent non-combatant injuries and deaths".
But he did not exclude the possibility civilians had been struck in the bombing.
The ousted Taliban regime, which claimed responsibility for shooting down the MH-47 Chinook helicopter last week, said on Saturday that US bombing had killed 25 civilians, including children.
US forces are maintaining a wall of silence due to the sensitivity of the search operation, which is taking place alongside an ongoing US-Afghan mission to track down insurgents in Kunar, near the Pakistani border.
"We have not concluded this operation. It is still going on and it will go on until we achieve our mission which is to defeat any terrorists in that area and to deny them sanctuary in Kunar province," Yonts said today.
The soldier rescued on Saturday had "evaded the enemy and was successfully rescued by US forces", CNN reported.
Taliban spokesman Abdul Latif Hakimi said the rebels had captured a US soldier and would release footage of seven "American spies" who had been killed, along with film of the captured soldier.
Attacks blamed on the Taliban have been gaining in ferocity in recent weeks ahead of September 18 parliamentary elections.
The shooting down of the helicopter was the biggest loss of life suffered in a single attack by the 18,000-strong US-led coalition since the fall of the Taliban in late 2001.
During that time, US-led forces in Afghanistan have mistakenly killed scores of civilians in their hunt for insurgents.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai voiced concerns in May about civilian deaths in US-led operations, and US President George W Bush's special envoy to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad said he regretted the loss of civilian lives.

This is related to bug 369503, although that one complains about security UI not being updated to reflect insecure connections made by the plugin itself, rather than not updating because of insecure loading of the plugin file. I think we probably load plugins in the background, as we do for XMLHTTPRequest loads and some image loads, so this might depend on bug 305284/bug 135007.

We don't do plugin loads in the background, no. That said, there are at least three different plugin loading codepaths. :( Can someone trace through the code here to see exactly where we do the AsyncOpen on the nsHttpChannel? I'd do it if gdb would let me breakpoint there.... I suspect this may be a PSM bug, not a plug-in bug.

Boris, what do you think the priority should be on this? Note: We're up to about 175 P3 bugs here. Need to be super rational about how we prioritize things from this point on. I don't see this making beta 2. So, we need to decide Beta 3 or final. Thoughts?
Comment 4•

ccing Daniel and Kai for their thoughts. The answer sort of depends on how reliable the security UI is now and how seriously we take issues with it... I suspect any change here would be somewhat risky, but can't really justify rating this above P3, I don't think.

Jonas assigned this to me, but I agree with boris in comment 2 that this is probably an NSS/PSM bug with the kinds of updates we get in chrome through our WebProgressListener. We've seen mixed content breaking in other bugs too, as gavin mentions. I think Kai is looking at this brokenness as a result of bug 402574, which also deals with broken signalling between crypto and chrome. Re-directing to sec:ui anyhow, since it seems likely that it has more to do with how we're handling the security of the channel than with the plugin in particular. Judging from the symptoms alone, and without knowing the code involved, it feels like we have one or two bugs here that are responsible for a dozen different chrome-misidentifying-security-level reports.

Online grocer Ocado could be sued by its partner Waitrose after today striking a 25-year, £170 million deal with its rival Morrisons to enable the supermarket to sell food on the web.
Ocado has sold the freehold on its distribution centre in Warwickshire and will license its technology to Morrisons, which will use the Dordon facility to deliver online food orders.
Shares in Ocado, which has not made a pre-tax profit in 11 years, rocketed by more than a quarter today as the deal strengthens its previously weak balance sheet in one fell swoop, and gives it funding to invest heavily in its technology and ramping up its delivery service.
But Waitrose managing director Mark Price is known to be concerned about Ocado paving the way for a major rival to enter the fast-growing online market.
Price told the Evening Standard: "We will be looking very hard and carefully at the contract and the operational arrangements. We have engaged a QC to help us do that. And we want to ensure that our customers have the ability to keep shopping with Waitrose in any event."
Waitrose is beefing up its own online service, and will open a second dot-com store — they do not open their doors to the public but are used to fulfil online grocery orders — in London next spring. But Ocado chief executive Tim Steiner said he did not expect Waitrose to launch a legal challenge to the Morrisons deal "because there are no grounds" for it to do so.
"It leaves our existing deal with Waitrose unaffected," he added.
The sourcing agreement between Ocado and Waitrose is due to run until 2020 but there is a break clause that could be exercised in 2017.
Morrisons is the only one of the big four supermarkets that does not sell food online.
The market is forecast to double in size to sales of £11.1 billion by 2017, according to trade body IGD.
In addition to the £170 million fee, the Bradford-based grocer will invest £46 million to expand the Dordon facility to deliver Morrisons' food, and to integrate it with its own systems.
Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips said its online food business would be profitable by 2017, and the distribution centre is big enough to accommodate sales of up to £500 million for both Morrisons and Ocado. Philips, who is under pressure to reverse falling sales and profits, added: "We will be using Ocado's technology, logistics and distribution platform."
But he stressed that it would be Morrisons' food, website and own-branded delivery vans. "This is our way of accelerating from a standing start into the fast lane," he explained. Steiner said: "It [Morrisons deal] is a massive validation of our model with one of the big four grocers in this country."
Shares in Ocado, which floated at 180p in July 2010, today rose by 52.2p to 254.1p, a leap of 26%.
Morrisons' shares ticked up 5.1p, or 2%, to 287.7p.

Back-row Magnus Lund, lock Chris Jones and versatile Scotland forward Jason White are all out with knee injuries, with White only expected to miss one game and the England pair - neither of whom made Brian Ashton's World Cup squad - facing a month on the sidelines.
Saint-Andre was understandably pleased to recall Sheridan and Chabal and told www.salesharks.com: "We welcome back our World Cup internationals for this game and it's a game we have to win.
"If we do, we could still qualify for the semi-final stages. Bath have started the season well and won their opening group game against Leicester Tigers last week.
"We have all ready played them this season and although we led late in the game we were beaten by a late penalty.
"Games against Sale Sharks and Bath are always exciting games to watch and I am sure tomorrow will be no different."
One selection issue remains undecided, with Saint-Andre yet to decide whether Charlie Hodgson - who also failed to make Ashton's party due to injury - will be handed a start.
"I will make my mind up on whether to start with Charlie Hodgson or Lee Thomas at fly-half tomorrow," said the Frenchman.
Captain Dean Schofield, Rory Lamont (both ankle) and Mark Cueto (calf) are also out for the Sharks, with Ignacio Fernandez Lobbe leading the side.
Bath, meanwhile, are seeking their sixth win in a row in all competitions and will be looking for Steve Borthwick, who lost his starting berth in France to the fine form of Simon Shaw, to lead them to victory.
Hooker Lee Mears is back in the squad for the first time this season but starts on the bench, while Michael Stephenson is brought in at full back for Nick Abendanon.
In the evening's other match Llanelli Scarlets host Leeds, for whom Argentina back-rower Martin Schusterman is back.

Check out the footage above of the new coffee shop above 'Dumb Starbucks' that has opened in California. They're using the same logo, same name of their products, everything. They're just adding "dumb" in front of it.
How are they getting away with it? They are apparently protected under parody laws. Enough people must think it's funny because the lines to get in are around the block as you can see from the video above.

The pigs on the backs of the motorbikes ARE alive. They are on their way to market to be sold. Restrained but living, breathing and hating every single second of being a passenger on the back of a jumpy, bumpy motorbike. This is one of numerous little facts our guide Mr Minh told us on our recent journey.
Despite the fact that I'm a bit of a scaredy cat (or should I say - living pig) when it comes to motorbikes, we decided to venture by bike from Danang to Hoi An and see a few sights along the way. It was a fantastic experience as we managed to traverse the Vietnamese countryside passing through every possible type of plantation possible: corn fields, tobacco plantations; manioc fields; watermelon groves; peanut and spinach gardens and in between every one was an endless light green sea of rice paddies
Iain spoke earlier about the tireless work that goes on in the metal-work sheds in the cities, but they are also at it non-stop in the countryside, in the fields; at the weaving factories; everywhere!
Along the way we stopped a few times and I can't really describe it any better than: barged in on people's homes. Mr Minh, our guide/driver, would stop at anything we seemed vaguely interested in and work the locals for us. This is how we managed to uproot a peanut plant from someone's garden and sample some of their freshly boiled peanuts and how I tried my hand at making rice papers - I failed by the way... And it looks soo easy!
Unfortunately, it wasn't the right season to see silk being extracted from the silk worm cocoons at the silk worm farms. I would have loved that. Instead we just saw them weaving the silks with the dyed thread
On our motorbike expedition we also visited one of the Marble Mountains and the Cham ruins at Myson. The Marble Mountains fit their description. They are made largely of marble which means there were some spectacular marble carvings in the heart of the mountain caves. Unfortunately, this also meant that the 4,000 little shops you passed during ascent were all selling giant marble carvings - with giant marble chunks nicked from the mountain. Mr Minh mentioned they were trying to stop the pilfering because the mountains might not last long if the marble 'borrowing' continued at the current rate. Good luck.
Myson (and the Cham ruins) was another suprisingly scenic stop to stretch the legs and prevent the saddle soreness from kicking in harder than it already was. [Not sure how people bike across entire continents - as 6 or so hours of motorbiking was enough for both of us]
Motor-biking was a great way to see the "real" Vietnam and the locals seemed to be genuinely pleased that we were interested in their lives. Either that, or they were just smiling a lot in the hope that we would leave them alone quicker.
- - -
I have only really known of Danang as a place that Robin Williams could enunciate very humourously, and I was keen to learn a little more about a fairly interesting historical place that crops up in a number of books. However, on leaving our train we were met by touts vigourously offering not to take us to any hotel - but to take us out of town. Anywhere we wanted to go out of town, they were clambering over themselves to take us to. Asking for a local hotel however was met with a quizzical look and (relatively) declining interest. "Low" interest from moto taxis is only ever relative.
As a quick point of note, catching the train from Nha Trang to Danang is an inspired choice: they serve great food, its surprising comfortable [soft seat class], and the train driver locks in all the radios to a the local affilliate of MIX106.5 that plays piano and synth incarnations of 80's classics all the way home
Danang is not a tourist town. The moto driver tried to show me one other recommendation (i.e. where he will make a dollar). The hotel room I was shown wasn't finished yet still managed to smell not only like someone had died in there, but hadn't been removed. He's clearly out of practice on real customers.
There is essentially one hotel in Danang, and as a result all the ants are forced to live in the one place and weren't that happy i was on their pillow. This was our first seriously ordinary night. If one could harness 'dank' as an energy source then our hotel room would be fuelling China. Within 12 hours my entire bag got a distinctly funky edge.
To be completely contrary of course, Danang gave us one of the finest restaurants in South East Asia. They did a clay pot pork dish that was just inconceivably good. The only way I can think to describe it that it was what you expect when you order "XO pork" at a Chinese restaurant, only this is the first time that that choice is not a profound disappointment. It was like cognac and ginger in a hearty sauce, and the pork strips were cut in profile from pork belly - each long strip comprising a cross section of crackling, fat, and lean fresh meat. I think you can tell the suffering we have had by the tears of love hitting the keyboard as this is written.
The one moto driver who did take us to our hotel of course had an ulterior motive, but sometimes thats OK. Moto (scooter) riding cross town is small change - going cross country for a taste of the rural is where the dollars are
Along the way from Danang to Hoi Ani, our host Mr Minh discovered Claude's joy for all forms of food production other than types she is physically required to participate in. Peanut farms. Melon farms. Tobacco farms. We stopped at them all. Sensing he was well on his way to locking in a multi day trip to take us to Hanoi or beyond, he even took us inside a local family home where they were making rice paper. As you look at the photos for this part of the trip, try to identify the point at which this family's livelihood took a a turn for the worse. Somebody's three attempts at cooking the batter resulted in polite smiles for about 2 minutes until the results were deftly balled back up and set aside. "Maybe good for pigs?" quietly opined Mr Minh. But the two pigs looking on looked none too impressed and returned to their nutritious pile of garbage.
On the food front, I have unfortunately outdone Claude's go at buying mint flavoured potato chips and managed to buy New Colgate Green Tea and Domestos Burst. And being budget conscious I have bought enough to last us until South America. You get used to seeing little green leaves on boxes and trusting the good folks at Unilever not to make anything too bizarre. Well that trust is breached, amd I can no longer play the mint chips debacle card.
An overall impression of our day through the farms with Mr Minh is one of continual amazement that food is so cheap. A bag of peanuts, a packet of ricepaper, a melon - none cost more than a fraction of a dollar..
Mr Minh was a little older than our previous guides, and in many ways it was talking over lunch that was the most interesting. He fought with the South Vietnamese Army (i.e with the Americans), a fact about he was in equal parts apologetic and proud. As a result, he did two years "re-education" with the Communists, working in the sun on farms for a fist full of rice per day. He adamantly made the point about the food given to him, repeatedly showing his fist across the tabel to emphasise how ridiculously small the amount is (and it really is). Though again, curiously, I found him in equal parts apologetic and proud about his time in the camps - it perversely seems that those who stayed less than 4 or 5 years somehow feel they did not suffer enough, or accepted the new way too soon. Unlike classical modern European history taught in schools, this is one of the few war histories where you still meet the soldiers and see the victims.
As part of our tour we came to a memorial noting a US atrocity in the killing of 150 civilians (40km out of Danang). He was understandably animated, and on the point of being incensed that this was not a site that hit the tourist trail nor was included in the guides. The experience was profoundly odd when you woke up to the fact that he fought with the Americans at this time, in this region
Once again, our guide discreetly checked with us that we were OK with not hearing the "official" version of history. He said that while much had changed since 1995 (when President Clinton normalised trade relations and the lives of the locals started getting dramatically better), they were still very much aware of what they hadn't earned yet. Lack of free speech clearly rankles. I never thought of Vietnam as being so harsh - never on a par with Russia... yet thats a view that I'm forced to change any time you speak with a local in a longer interaction. Really surprising, and odd it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the guides.
Our final stop on the trip was a significant, and unexpected, highlight. The ruins at My Son are the final remants of the Cham nation (although they remain as an ethnic minority living in the hills). It is like the Temples of Angkor on a smaller, less busy scale and remains essentially unrestored. Its a great afternoon tramping through really ruined ruins that still managed to show clearly that a society of some significance was here in the distant past. Some parts look a bit sick as they were bombed by the US, wrecking not just a beautiful historic ruin, but a perfectly good Viet Cong base.
My Son is a further reminder that South East Asia had major political organisation and civilisation working 1000, even 1500, years ago
We went to Hoi An as it gets a rapturous guide book write up. It is [please stand] a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It commands your respect. We planned to stay three days. We lasted less than 24 hours, in the fastest mutual decision ever taken to secure any form of transport out at any cost.
Its plainly a tricky job UNESCO have. I mean, you have your obvious World Heritage sites - ooh, a Great Barrier Reef, a Grand Canyon, your Angkor Wat, some Pyramids in Egypt - and you bang out a list. But what to do after that? You have all this travel budget, and lord knows you can't have the same list year after year. Now don't get me wrong, some are still good (My Son gets their tick of approval as well, and its well earned) but this is second time in two months we've visited historic towns that are nothing but continual gift shops and travel agencies
As such, breakfast became a time of decision and planning, and both of us reached to turn to the "Getting There and Away" part of the Lonely Planet in unison, a full 14 hours after getting in. I wish I had let Claude read the book first, for I cast my eye to the kitchen to see what I think was a 10 gallon barrel adorned by Fabio's beaming face containing I Can't Believe Its Not Scrambled Eggs several minutes too late to change my fate.
Vietnamese language localisation seems to consist of breaking Western words into lots of little bits. Hon Da is where you go to get your Honda fixed (took us a week to figure why there were so many of these shops). Ca Thy is not likely to be a nice restaurant, au contraire, it will contain scrambled eggs befitting the propietoress, Cathy from Watford. Once bitten.
The bus to Hue traverses a simply beautiful part of Vietnam. We penetrated 3km long tunnels that looked like they were lovingly carved by the Swiss and emerged into a misty region of lakes surrounded by hills and quiet towns. (Next time, this would be the best leg to take the train instead of the bus. Oops.) About 64km (you can tell I noted it) is another place getting added to the shortlist of retirement locations.
Its an enjoyable series of ups and downs in central Vietnam. So now for the former imperial capital at Hue. It looks awesome, but our breath is held. Its a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Anyone know of any sites with pictures of breast dimpling?
I have breast issue after breast issue, so many that I put off doing breast exams. So I just did my first of the month breast exam and felt a new and quite tender lump on the side of my left breast at about 3:00, almost under my arm. I didn't think that much of it since I am very lumpy and bumpy until I looked in the mirror and saw what I think is a dimple about an inch below where the lump is. I had noticed some pulling there a couple months ago but decided it was just breast sag from approaching middle age. But this is more pronounced, more like a dimple. I can only see it in certain positions, and not when I lift my arms over my head.
anyway, if anyone knows of any pics online it might be helpful. I can't go running to the doc every time I find a new thing. I'm already on high-risk monitoring and am scheduled for an MRI in June.Log in to post a reply

Ballet Arkansas Adds Four New Dancers
LITTLE ROCK, AR (News release) - Ballet Arkansas has added four new dancers for its upcoming 2014-2015 season in its continuing effort to bring world-class dance performance to all Arkansans. They will perform under the direction of Arkansas native and former Ballet West Prinicpal dancer Michael Bearden, who is returning for his second season as Artistic Director.
"Ballet Arkansas was delighted to have over 70 dancers from around the country audition for a spot in our 2014-15 season company. This is a wonderful sign of the growing reputation we have achieved in the dance world through our in-state and out-of-state performances," said Ballet Arkansas's Executive Director Karen Bassett.
Joining the company are Tony Sewer from Milwaukee Ballet II, Megan Hustel from the University of Utah and Hannah Bradshaw from Columbus Ohio's BalletMet Trainee Program. All hail from outside Arkansas and bring with them solid backgrounds in training and performance. Additionally, Georgia Quinn, a Little Rock native and former Ballet Arkansas Youth Division member who received her training from Jenny Cockrill at Dance Dynamics in Little Rock will be joining the company this season as an apprentice.
"We are excited to welcome this new group of dancers to the Ballet Arkansas family" said Artistic Director Michael Bearden. "Their talents as artists will only further our ability to enrich our community with the beauty and inspiration of dance."
Last season the nonprofit arts organization saw a steady growth in its Board of Directors, budget and the number of performances and caliber of performances offerings. World premiers of Ana, Instantly Interruptible and Bolero along with their performance of The Joffrey's Trust's Birthday Variations highlighted the season in Little Rock. Touring performances in Midland and Amarillo TX, Seattle's Chop Shop Contemporary Dance Festival and the Spring to Dance Festival in St. Louis brought Ballet Arkansas recognition and acclaim in the national dance community.
