Cool Foster's sits and waits
Page Tools
Foster'S Group has moved to stare down winemaker Southcorp's shareholders by extending its hostile $4.14-a-share bid by another two weeks, taking a punt that its stock will continue to slide with prospects fading of a counter-bid or a bigger offer.
The extension pushes the offer period to April 14.
Southcorp's shares have fallen 11 per cent since hitting a high of $4.76 on January 17, when Foster's announced its $3.1 billion offer.
Southcorp shares yesterday closed at $4.24 or 2.4 per cent above the offer price.
Analysts and fund managers said investors were selling because they accepted another bidder was unlikely, especially with Foster's already holding 18.8 per cent of the stock. Southcorp's shares were likely to keep slipping.
A director of Wallace Funds Management, Michael Birch, said: "It won't go below the bid price but it will track down to that price or just above it."
The acting chief executive of the International Wine Investment Fund, Rupert Clifton-Bligh, said Foster's would eventually need to put more money on the table.
He said Southcorp was in danger of losing key staff the longer the stalemate continued.
Southcorp has already lost investor relations manager Kristina Devon, who has been poached by Coca-Cola Amatil.
"In a practical sense, they (Foster's) would want to have it cleaned up because it's not in their interests to have it dragging on," Mr Clifton-Bligh said. "It's not in the interests of Foster's because it's distractive for management, and it's not in the interests of Southcorp because this constant state of siege is destructive and you will have management looking for other jobs."
ABN Amro's David Cooke said: "Both groups need to pull themselves back from the brink and find out how far apart they really are.
"I think $4.25 to $4.30 might be enough, but maybe they need to put in a scrip compo-nent for the shareholders who want a rollover and Foster's can then do buyback to address the dilution."
Foster's chairman Frank Swan, in his letter to Southcorp shareholders, said the offer was an "outstanding price'.'
For its part, Southcorp stuck to its guns, claiming that the Foster's gambit was still inadequate, with only just over 1200 of its shareholders accepting the offer.
A Southcorp spokesman said: "This takeover is clearly unattractive to shareholders, as can be seen by acceptances of only 0.2 per cent of shareholders.
"Our shareholders are making it very clear to Foster's that they don't think it will succeed."
Foster's shares yesterday slipped 8 ¢ to close at $5.19.

I won't be distracted by technical director reports - Ghana coach Akwasi Appiah
By Ameenu Shardow, follow on Twitter @alooameenu
Ghana coach Akwasi Appiah insists he has received no word from the Ghana FA or the Sports Ministry of engaging the services of a technical director – reports he describes as a 'distraction' that he wouldn't allow to alter his plans for the World Cup.
Several reports have been published in the Ghanaian media of ongoing talks to convince the ex Ghana captain to agree to the unwarranted technical support being sought for by authorities.
Reports first shot up of a link with German coach Klaus Topmoller after which former Chelsea coach Avram Grant to a technical director job which is currently occupied by Francis Oti Akenteng.
Rumours still circulating have thrown other names into the plot but the Ghana FA have remained consistent in their denial of such plans.
Coach Akwasi Appiah has finally broken his silence on the issue – describing it as a distraction to his focus of assembling a strong team for the World Cup finals in June.
"Personally I believe everyone has a premeditated destiny and for that my focus is fully in the job at hand,†he told Metro FM.
"I have had several meetings with the Ghana FA and they have never raised such an issue.
"The [Sports] Ministry have also made no indication of the sort so for me these reports are just to distract me.
"But I will remain focused on my job and will not be deterred by such rumours.â€
Ghana will be making just its third appearance at the World Cup in this summer's edition in Brazil.
The Black Stars a drawn in a tough group alongside Germany, Portugal and USA.

askantwi says:January 07, 2014 06:43 pmGreat. Just pay them detractors no mind. They are just jealous of your success. Especially the hearts of oak fans who are secretly praying that the Black Stars loses and fail in their quest at the world cup. They are a disgraceful bunch and God go punish them all.
OGYA says:January 07, 2014 07:28 pmHe needs a qualified Technical help, whether he likes it or not. This stupid Ghanaian mentality that "I know what I am doing, I do not need any help" is the reason why we haven't progressed as a nation since independence. All those countries who were at par with us when we got independence have all surpassed us in every aspect of life. Reason, they listened, got help and used it to develop themselves. Akwesi Appiah is not a world class coach nor has he ever coached in any world cup as far as we know. Having that qualified help with him on that big stage will keep his mind at ease whenever we got behind in a world cup game. He needs to accept all the help he can get to help him learn and succeed. And with that experience he could be a more stronger coach the next time Ghana qualified again for another world cup. For Ghanaians its always our egotistical attitude that has become our downfall. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ACCEPTING HELP, IF THAT HELP WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED EVENTUALLY?
boro says:January 07, 2014 09:30 pmIf this idea of technical directorship for the BS is not coming from GFA or sports ministry then who are the people trying to push this agenda. I will not be surprised if this agenda is coming from these dinosaurs so called football gurus. They failed woefully during their tenure yet they won't shut up! They first said AA is confused for always using different set of players during the qualifiers and that AA cannot get the BS to Brazil bla, bla. He has proved all of us wrong and instead of eating our humble pie because of our own selfish interest and our useless egoistic nature which won't take us anywhere we try to distract AA with this baseless idea. What even annoys me the more are the names such Topmoeller and Avram Grant who have run out of ideas in coaching. I admit the coach needs to improve in some of the areas such reading the game whiles in progress to change his tactics or do the right substitutions or even how to bring on board interposition changes without necessarily replacing players. I noticed some of these problems during the qualifiers. Even if he needs technical director, the man is not dumb. When he needed the video analyst and a psychologist for the team he did not hesitate in asking the FA. Please, you enemies of progress the coach is saying these type of rumors are unintelligent distractions so stop it if you have nothing better to contribute. And for those who think AA is not up to the standard, what I will like to ask them is: were Doya and Milo up to the standard when they took Ghana? Why didn't we suggest same to them when they took us to the WC? Hmmmm Coach' abre ooo tom'. This is the time we all need to rally behind the coach and bring on board good ideas that can help the team but not this unnecessary distraction
Milky says:January 07, 2014 10:23 pmI personally dont think our coach is a good one. He doesn't play with any tactics or discipline. I have seen both local and foreign coaches who play with tactics but not him. Our coach is being carried by the current inform team that Ghana has. The players are the main reason we have qualified not the coach. He does look like a good though.

US Suffers 362 All-Time Record Temperature Highs, No Lows
January 7th, 2013 by Joshua S Hill
The United States suffered through what is probably its warmest calendar year on record, but the really fascinating story of the year's weather has been pulled out by Wunderground historian Christopher Burton, who analyzed data from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center and found that 2012 saw 362 all-time record temperature highs.
And no lows.
The chart above looks at a variety of statistics, all pulled from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center database of sites that measured daily and/or monthly record high and low temperatures. That's a total of 5,500 sites.
The first two columns show daily record highs and lows — not all-time records broken.
This was one hell of a year. More Than 15,000 Warm Temperature Records Broken in Warm March. NOAA was predicting 2012 would be the hottest year on record back in June, and then again in September. While back in April, Death Valley saw the country's hottest April temperature rocket to 113°F.

The Evening Van Service provides a safe means of transportation around campus during the evening hours. The vans provide transportation between campus buildings, on-campus housing and nearby residential areas. The service is free of charge and available to all UCLA students, staff, faculty and visitors. For added safety, the vans are driven by Community Service Officers (CSOs) who carry two-way radios, providing a direct link to the UCLA Police Department.
Van Operations
Five vans operate on a nightly basis and routinely pick up passengers from five designated pick-up areas every 15-20 minutes: Ackerman Turnaround, De Neve Turnaround, Perloff Hall – west side, Young Drive East – across the street and west of Murphy Hall, and Hilgard and Manning – northeast corner. Vans drop off passengers at all pick-up locations as well as a number of designated drop-off locations (generally to the west and south of campus). Additionally, passengers may call (310) 825-1493 to request pick up from most of the drop-off spots, once they have arrived at the location.

Authorities in the US seem keen to declare war on speculators in the oil market. Fair enough, but has the US itself been guilty of market manipulation?
That, in effect, is the accusation made by insiders at the International Energy Agency. The IEA, they say, has been encouraged by US authorities to underplay the rate of decline in oil fields for fear of panicking the markets. The IEA's credibility is on the line here, starting with today's statement on the production outlook. A full response is required.

no power/backfire through carb/timing? 355 build
Hello everyone, im new to the foum here and i hope someone can throw some ideas at me, ive been working on a friends 73 nova for a couple weeks in our spare time, and we are having quite a few issues with it, now i figure since im kinda a ford guy that this is the reason for this car giving us so much trouble, karma maybe? haha, anywho below are the specs of the motor and then details of the problem, sorry for it being a lengthy read,
current motor and car specs
350/ 30 over
coyes double roller timing chain, crank gear advanced 4*/not check with degree wheel.
lunati 10001lk barebones cam and lifter kit .443/.465 lift, 214/224 duration @.050, replacing 10000lk
summit racing double hump head copies
2.02/1.60 valves/ springs rated up to .550 lift/
1.5 roller tip rockers
pro products air gap intake
edelbrock 1406 carb
long tube headers into flowmaster copies
stock mechanical fuel pump/ no fuel pressure gauge/unknown fuel pressure
unknown age HEI dizzy
stock th-350
4.10 gears out back
now, im pretty green when it comes to carb motors, and hei distributors, especially of the bowtie sorts, i'm more aquainted with Ford EFI motors, mainly because of my love of the Foxbody Stang haha. But im getting pretty aquainted with the different technology.
so heres the issue with a little back story. He had this motor put together about 6 or 8 months ago, and it wouldnt get out of its own way, idled fine, sounded ok, but driving down the road it was complete trash, so we went to trouble shooting, he was almost positive that the installed the crank gear 4* retarded, not advanced, so we figured ok we would change that and install it straight up to see what happened. while in there we decided to change the cam to the 10001lk, because the original 10000lk was pretty wimpy, we figured that didnt help things. also changed from edelbrock performer intake, non rpm, to the pro products air gap.
so while we disected the motor, and got to the crank gear, low and behold it was actually advanced 4*. so we left it the way it was and installed the new parts and buttoned it back up. the old cam looked fine, no worn/wiped lobes or odd scarring and the lifters looked fine, pushrods and such check out as well. we broke in the new cam, and tried to dial in the timing the best we could, idles fine, sounds decent, but starts hard, kinda hangs a bit like the starter is dragging or it was a very high compression motor, crank over twice or so then pause and then fire up, so i figured timing is messed up. at first it was shooting compression out of the carb occassionally on a failed start, but no fireball, so we figured that maybe we had on of the rockers too tight, so we went back over them again but nothing was out of the ordinary. we have also watched to make sure all of the rockers are moving the same distance as the others to help rule out a flat lobe on this cam, but they all seem match the others, the wieghts in the dizzy were all rusted up and such so we got a new weight and spring kit from mr gasket and installed the lightest springs and no vacuum advance. under the advice of an old racer friend. now i understand some, if not a ton of people think the mr gasket kit is junk, but it was what i could get in a pinch. so we took it out for a test drive, it ran worse than before until we tuned on it a bit with timing and such, seriously this thing should be running circles around my little 5.0 stang, but its not.
now on the road it is really down on power, to compare it ran like the 2.0 cavalier i have, and if you stomped it to the floor it would cut out and pop through the carb, sometimes a fireball. havent had any backfire throught the exhaust. so back to more tuning, ran a compression test and all cylinders where pretty equal around 170, vacuum test show a kinda low vacuum around 15 hg at around 800 rpm idle. currently initial timing is around 17* and total around 30, without vacuum advance. with vacuum advance hooked up its close to 50 at idle. check for vacuum leaks around everything and havent found anything. all vac ports that arent used are capped even replaced the hoses that went to the tranny modulator valve just to make sure, it had a kink in it. vacuum is still at around 15hg at idle. with it set this way we were able to get a little bit of horse powder back out of it, but you had to baby the throttle to do so, slowly increasing the throttle would get it going and you could actually pull in the secondarys for a little boost, kinda caught me by surprise. but still its almost like riding a 5hp go kart, a really big one haha, although at this point that would be more fun. also it smokes from the drivers side tail pipe a very little bit after you are hard on the throttle at in park, kinda grayish in color, not white like water. but its pretty faint, but only from the drivers side exhaust, true dual exhaust.
so we are kinda at a stand still at what to check, firing order has ben checked and check a million times and plug wires are on the correct post of the dist.
the age of the dizzy is a factor and the edelbrock carb was use when he got it, age unknown as well,
would the crank being advanced cause these issues?
do you have to time the spark differently when the crank/cam is advanced/retarded?
bad accelerator pump in the carb?
failing coil or ignition control module in the HEI dizzy?
Bad distributor period?
bad fuel pump?
any ideas would be appreciated, our lack of experience has us learning some things by trial and error but we are at witts end and its tying up space in my garage.
also the cam was installed dot to dot, crank timing mark at noon and came at 6, and a timing tape has been installed on the balancer/damper.
again any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated, thanks

Since you already have a seeper on your hands the gasketed surface has already been contaminated. Short of splitting the cases, you're not going to be able to clean the mating surfaces of the gasket. Don't despair dear Todd, for I have a fix My chain saw and LC4 lump was doing the very same thing.

The old Craftsman chainsaw was bought back in the mid-70's and leaked gas pretty badly. It didn't have a free standing tank, the tank was made up of the left and right half of the case. Here's how I fixed both, but in your case you might consider taking the bike for a spin, get her up to temp, and drain the oil while it's hot and flows a bit easier. Let it drain overnight if you can so the hot oil is encouraged to flow out of the leaking case seam. Clean and degrease the affected areas and use a toothbrush for a little more cleaning and agitation and extend out a bit just to make it better. Using an oxime-cure RTV Silicone (one that doesn't have a vinegar smell) like Loctite 598, or Instant Gasket, draw you a bead on the suspect gasketed areas. Flatten out that bead with a cheapie Harbor Freight Metal handle small paint brush with the bristles cut down so they're half length and work the RTV out about 1/4" from the seam. Don't use a blue, a red, or a clear RTV to make this fix (The brand does not matter) These kinds of RTV's do not play well with fuels or oils...at all. 5 or 6 years later my chainsaw still doesn't leak, and roughly 2 years later the valve cover on the KTM doesn't leak either. You're done. Let it sit overnight, oil her up and show us some pics when you get back. Dirty

I have searched and searched but can't find a plan to make a simple jig for making box joints with dado blade. Any help appreciated
I have searched and searched but can't find a plan to make a simple jig for making box joints with dado blade. Any help appreciated
Here's a link to a free set of plans --> BoxJointJig
48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
Regards, Barry
Perfect, thanks
you know, a box joint isn't actually necessary to build hive bodies. especially on home made hives.
a rabbett joint does very well also, requires no complex jigs or equipment. For the woodworking challenged or those who simply want to get things done in a short amount of time.
nothing in the world wrong with a rabbett joint.
for that matter, for years and years , plain old butt joints got the job done also.
There is no right or wrong to hive body construction in terms of construction.
I only mention this for folks who might have the idea that due to the popularity of box joints sold by the big shops that somehow they are the only acceptable joint type.
Just sayin.
big Bear
No, I am NOT a bee "Keeper". Anything I post is just my opinion. Take it easy and think for yourself.
Those links should help. There are lots of others on the web and some good videos on Youtube about making and using homemade jigs. Practice on scrap wood and you will get a feel for how to set up and adjust the jig. With your homemade jig adjusted correctly, making box joints is not a mysterious, time-consuming craft. It takes me only 3 minutes to cut the box joints for each medium super and I consider myself to be only a fair woodworker.
Once I had my setup perfect, I cut and saved a short piece with both of the types of configurations that I use in a box, the cuts for a long side on one end and the cuts for the short side on the other. (The fingers start in different spots on each.) I use this every time I set up the saw for cutting box joints. Before I cut the actual pieces, I cut a piece of scrap and see how it fits my template piece.
I always mean to order a new miter gauge so I don't have remove the jig each time I need it.
I just went through that process and finished up my first set of boxes/frame. I knew nothing about a joint but with little more than 10 minites on you-tube under "box joint jig" I made my own jig/joints. I'm still amazed how simple and professional it looks. good luck....bouks

When you attend worship at First Baptist Church Duluth, you will discover a church that loves to engage in enthusiastic, celebrative worship! We cherish the old hymns of the faith, as well as the latest in contemporary worship songs. Our choir, orchestra, and technical team lead us each week in worship expressions that are fresh and inspiring. Dr. Mark Hearn, our pastor, shares relevant messages from God's Word. This is all done in a relaxed, friendly environment.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Senior outfielder Nicole Sappingfield (Norco, Calif./Norco) of the No. 7-ranked University of Michigan softball team was voted to the Capital One Academic All-District Team today (Thursday, May 1) by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Sappingfield is now eligible to be voted to the Academic All-America team.
Sappingfield is one of just three Big Ten student-athletes named to the all-district team from region five, which encompasses the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. The senior co-captain plans to graduate with a degree in comparative literature from the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and plans to attend law school in the fall.
The senior is in her second season as a captain, just the fifth player in Michigan history to serve as captain in two seasons. She has helped lead Michigan to a 39-9 overall record and 17-3 mark in the Big Ten. The Wolverines are currently in first place in the league, and Sappingfield has the third-most hits among Big Ten players (65) and the fourth-best batting average (.404).
Sappingfield has been a stalwart in the Michigan lineup since her freshman year, with 222 career starts. She is currently seventh on U-M's career runs list (179), ninth all-time in hits (253) and ninth in career batting average (.352).
Sappingfield has been named All-Big Ten twice in her career (first team in 2011, second team in 2012). She is in the running for the Senior CLASS Award, one of 10 finalists from across the country. Sappingfield is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten (2012-13) member and a two-time recipient of the U-M Athletic Academic Achievement Award.

The Tannery has been in operation since the 11th century (1000+) years and it surely smelt that way. Sheep, Goat and Cattle skins are processed in the very traditional way to leather.

I remember the exact moment I fell in love with Emerson Fry (who was then known as EmersonMade): the second I saw her black Mod Dress. A simple sheath dress reminiscent of every 60s look I'd been desperate to emulate — I knew I had to have it. Then I snatched up one of her gold necklaces, which I've worn every single day for at least two years, and a pack of her "bag of dresses," which I firmly believe to be a genius idea. Years later, Emerson is still going strong, as evidenced by her brilliant Spring 2013 collection full of effortlessly cool chic:
There are absolutely no words for how nuts I am about the pattern seen in this top on the left — gold and black are easily my greatest obsession right now, and it has the greatest vibe of updated Art Deco:

Within the largest possible sense, broomfighting may be the science and art of armed combat including cleaning, dusting or anteseptic weapons directly altered manually, shot or tossed (quite simply, brooms, feather dusters, sponges, mops, dual brooms, and so forth). Much like its sister sport fencing, it calls for using non lethal cleaning objects to strike opponnents and therefore claim victory. In contemporary common usage, broomfighting has a tendency to refer particularly towards the Amercan School of Broomsmanship.

History The entire year old art of broomfighting began in 2005 by Grayson B., presently the only real known Broommaster from the Broomfighters. It had been began from B.'s interest in a particular broom he would twirl and toss just like a batton. Whenever a certain Neneh S requested if she could try, B.'s excuse was that they wasn't a broommaster, a phrase he earned up on the place. When Neneh requested to become trained, a skill and sport was created.
The 2 Sects for cleaning In the begining of broomfighting, there has been two major sects to Broomfighting. One, the Broomfighters, who chose more classical weaponry including feather feather dusters and brooms. Another sect, however, Mop players, chose more recent and much more wet products for example sponges and mops. Although the two sects have experienced a substantial competition, their techniques are amazingly alike, featuring certain training techniques which are the identical Ranking Within the sport of broomfighting, you will find several ranks to attain within the mission to Broommastery.

FORT WORTH Immersive performance has become a trend around the country in recent years as arts organizations try new ways of connecting with their audiences, but the folks at Contemporary Dance/Fort Worth were way ahead of the curve. In their dance installations at area art museums, and especially at the annual Modern Dance Festival at the Modern, the CD/FW crew wants you not just to marvel at what dancers can do but also to believe that its indeed possible to make movement.
Another great example is the opening event of the 15th Modern Dance Festival, Some Assembly Required, which happened at 1 and 3 p.m. Saturday in the Grand Lobby of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and repeats at 3 p.m. Sunday. This weekends events also feature dance films, and the festival continues through July 25.
At Some Assembly Required, described as a dance happening, the team of eight dancers, clad in flowing skirts and pants and with the color purple a dominant thread, takes cues from the live, original and improvisational percussion by music/sound artist Austin Patton. Behind it, in the part of the lobby closest to the Moderns reflecting pond, Patton used a variety of everyday objects, including plastic buckets, hanging empty propane tanks and strands of metal brackets, and pots and pans. A xylophone-like instrument made of metal pipes created the overall sonic theme, an ethereal timbre. Although at times, banging on drums and buckets added a tribal feel.
CD/FW founder and artistic director Kerry Kreiman devised the concept and structure of the dance, in collaboration with the dancers, who had some work in pairs and groups that was lightly choreographed. But they mostly improvised to the whimsy of the music and the audience.
Thats what will make each performance of Some Assembly different. Audience members are encouraged to share, like, re-Tweet or copy/paste in movement, either in the dancers space or at their own spots around the edges of the lobby. Urged to imitate a shape or gesture of one of the performers and hold for 15 seconds, some in the audience notably children had fun taking part. When two little girls starting imitating joined positions of dancers, for instance, another dancer appeared at their side with her own sculptural poses.
Some of the best parts of the dance happened when two of the dancers were engaged in unison choreography and another was off to the side of the stage adding flapping hands or what resembled yoga and martial arts positions.
In the final minutes of the 45-minute work during which its OK for audience members to sit, wander around and even photo and video the performance there was a call for a two-minute jam.
The dancers were bold and fierce in their movement, and adults and children banged on instruments or struck their own poses. Thats one way to help folks fall in love with dance: show them that just about anyone can create it themselves. It doesnt have to be professional level, just honest and fun.
Highlights for the rest of the festival include a film about the legendary dancemaker Pina Bausch, and for the final event, A Choreographers Exchange, featuring CD/DFW, Bill Evans Dance Co. and other artists. See www.cdfw.org for a schedule.

ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi is expected to resign after parliament's lower chamber passes European-demanded reforms, amid continued debate among the embattled leader's allies over who should take his place.
While respected economist Mario Monti is clearly the top choice of Italy's president and international markets to steer the country out of its debt crisis, members of Berlusconi's own Peoples of Liberty Party and allied Northern League remain split.
It isn't clear if the opposition will be enough to scuttle President Giorgio Napolitano's apparent plan to ask Monti to try to form a government once Berlusconi resigns, which is expected Saturday afternoon after the Chamber of Deputies approves economic reforms.

Colorado House Education Committee Kills Adjunct Faculty Protections
The Colorado state House Education Committee killed a bill in February that would have given adjunct faculty some job security at institutions of higher education.
Representative Randy Fischer, who sponsored the bill, said he was disappointed the committee indefinitely postponed the bill but said the 7 – 6 vote was not unexpected.
He said the issue of adjunct job security is one that needs to be addressed, but he doesn't know what the solution is because the makeup of the majority-Republican state House would have to change in order for such a measure to have any chance of succeeding.
"I just think we really need to address the issue of fairness for our adjunct or contingent faculty," Fischer, a Democrat from Fort Collins, said in a phone interview.
Under current state law, most public employees –– including adjunct university and college faculty –– are employed "at-will," meaning either the employer or the employee can terminate employment at any time for any reason.
Although adjuncts are usually hired under contract for a specific term, such as a semester or school year, their at-will contracts are not legally binding, so an adjunct can quit or be fired, even mid-semester.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
The next time a troll tells us we're living in the Stone Age—or the Late Cretaceous, at least—we can say, "Damn straight."
We've got a dinosaur named after us: Mojoceratops.
OK, not exactly. Mojoceratops is real, but we can't take credit for the name. It's actually the brainchild of Nicholas Longrich, a researcher in Yale University's geology department who, um, rocked the world of rocks this month with news that he'd discovered a "new" dinosaur. The proper name for this crazy-looking creature came to him as he was discussing his groundbreaking work with colleagues. At a bar.
"Yes, there was beer involved, but we weren't, like, pissed," he laughed when MoJo caught up with him today. "I didn't even think about it, I just said it." He and his friends tried coming up with a few serious names, too, but none of them quite measured up.
It just rolls, like a steady wind over the fossil-rich soil of Western Canada: Mojoceratops.
Did we mention it was a plant-eater? What's more: Mojoceratops ate organic and local.
Dude, that's totally gotta be named after us.
Us-inspired or no, the story of how Longrich discovered and named the dino bears more than a passing resemblance to this news organization's investigative process. The intrepid paleontologist—an expert in evolution who's spent the past few years traipsing about the Canadian mud and the brush, hunting for more evidence of dinosaur life—knew something was fishy when he found a fossil sample in the basement of New York City's American Museum of Natural History.
"I just saw this unusual skull that didn't really fit anything I'd seen before," he said, describing its "really beautiful chocolatey brown and slatey blue color." (The man clearly loves his work.)
Upstairs, in the museum's display collection, Longrich found a similar skull and realized it had been reconstructed to look like another existing dinosaur's. "They just completely screwed up everything, and no one realized it was fake," he said, the excitement in his voice palpable. Thus began two years of intense, isolated sleuthing. "Most of the time you don't get that beautiful skull. You get bits and pieces and have to figure out what's going on, like putting together a big puzzle."
His thesis—that an unknown dino lay mislabeled and undiscovered—challenged the conventional wisdom, and he knew he needed airtight evidence. Prevailing views in his field, he says, are sometimes as ossified as—well, fossils: "It's easy to accept the conclusions and not go back to check the ground truth of it."
But in the end, he had enough evidence to publish his findings in this month's Journal of Paleontology. He just needed to defend his choice of a name for the rhino-sized beast with the funny, frilly head.
"I looked up the etymology of 'mojo,' and it turned out the original term refers to a magic charm used to attract members of the opposite sex," Longrich said. Since he'd surmised that was the function of the "heart-shaped frill" on the dino's coif, "It just happened to be very descriptive."
We at MoJo wish all our beer-fueled ideas turned out to be equally meaningful.
And though we weren't the main inspiration, Longrich said he's picked up our magazine before, and he's likely to do so again. Paleontology, after all, is just a rigorous kind of environmentalism.
"There's an extraordinary number and variety of species out there," Longrich said. "There's a lot left to discover."

Apple's new MacBook Pros reveal quality concerns
Apple's new MacBook Pro shows some quality-of-build problems that shouldn't be seen in a notebook that costs $1,800, a teardown expert said today.
Apple's new MacBook Pro shows some quality-of-build problems that shouldn't be seen in a notebook that costs $1,800, a teardown expert said today.
As anticipated, Apple today refreshed its MacBook Pro notebook line, turning to Intel's new Sandy Bridge chip architecture and adding a new connectivity technology dubbed Thunderbolt that transfers data at speeds up to 10Gbps.
Apple's Mac sales are up more than 20 per cent this quarter compared to the same quarter last year, and the company will get a further bump when it refreshes its MacBook line, an analyst said today. That refresh could come this week.
Apple will hold an event next Wednesday, March 2, where it will likely launch the next iPad, analysts said today.
An iPhone developer today said trying to get information from Apple about its new subscription model is like "hitting a brick wall," and remains unsure whether his app will have to toe the new line.
President Obama met with the CEOs of several high-profile technology companies, including Steve Jobs of Apple and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, in a private dinner Thursday night in Silicon Valley.
BARCELONA -- AT&T Chairman Randall Stephenson today prodded carriers, manufacturers and regulators around the globe to create openness and interoperability in mobile devices, platforms and networks in a keynote address at the Mobile World Congres...
Apple today unveiled the details of its App Store subscription plan, and confirmed that it will demand its usual 30 per cent from publishers who sell content within their apps.
Users are complaining that Seagate's Momentus XT hybrid drive, which combines solid-state drive (SSD) technology with a traditional hard drive, has a significant defect that causes it to pause frequently, freeze up and beep a lot.
Music streaming service Rhapsody today blasted Apple's decision to take a 30 per cent cut of all in-app subscription and content revenues, saying that the move makes its iPhone business model unsustainable.
Apple is working on a line of smaller, less-expensive iPhones, a move one analyst said the company "would be stupid not to" pursue.
Apple will introduce the next iPhone on June 6, an analyst said today.
Verizon Wireless today warned new customers that it will throttle back data speeds on the top five per cent of users who hog network bandwidth, a move apparently timed with the Feb. 10 carrier's launch of the data-hungry iPhone 4.
Apple's decision to reject Sony's e-reader application today sparked speculation that Apple would soon yank Amazon's popular Kindle software from the App Store.
On the back of Samsung Galaxy Tab sales, Android tablets grabbed a 22% share of the world's tablet market last quarter, denting for the first time the iPad's dominance, a research firm said today.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Some ideas:
a) use -regress- with time and industry dummies to have both types of fixed effects
b) if -hausman- suggested the fixed effects, why not removing the industry dummies? Then you could create an industry identifier and cluster the standard errors on it
c) industry x dummy interactions let you evaluate how the industry effects change over time (I have seen something like this latter idea, but I can't recall where).

Logitech has a well-deserved reputation for making some of the best gaming peripherals around. All the way from its G5 Gaming Mouse to the recently-reviewed G13 Advanced Gameboard, its G-Series has consistently won TR recommended awards. Today we're looking at the brand-new G19 Gaming Keyboard, the sequel to Logitech's well-regarded G15 Keyboard, which received our highest accolade. Let's find out if the G19 can keep the pedigree intact.
So first of all, what has changed? Obviously the design has been updated to make this keyboard far more streamlined. Basic keyboard layout remains identical, but the multimedia and gaming keys have been moved about and the programmable G-keys have been doubled from six (on the 2007 revision of the G15, not the original which offered 18) to 12. Backlighting has also been reworked, but the single biggest upgrade is to a colour "GamePanel" LCD-screen with a resolution of 320 x 240.
In terms of looks, the G19 has it all. The keyboard comes in a combination of matte and glossy blacks, bluish silver and metallic insets that not only looks cool but also matches Logitech's other G-series peripherals perfectly. Logitech's versatile backlighting also helps to make this keyboard a stunner. The M-keys and LCD-control keys to the left of the GamePanel remain invariably orange, but the backlighting on every other key can be changed to any colour you wish, to match your mood, other peripherals, or you can just link a specific colour of backlight to a specific game or application.
There are no dimming controls, but if the lighting is too bright simply choose a darker shade. There's also a dedicated button to turn the backlighting off altogether, though this also turns off the LCD. Unlike with Razer's Lycosa Gaming Keyboard, the G19's keys are still perfectly visible in sunlight, whether the backlighting is turned on or not.
Funnily enough, compared to 'regular' keyboards like Logitech's Cordless Desktop Wave Pro, the layout of the G19 is more conservative, with the Delete/Home/End/Page keys in their traditional positions. As far as all the keys you'd find on a normal keyboard go then, things are pretty standard. Though I'd hoped for a movable number pad a la Microsoft's SideWinder X6, realistically the chances of this happening were slim.

Business conditions continued to improve in the Carolinas during December, according to the results of our latest survey. The current general business conditions index (previously called the company specific index) moved higher and was in positive territory for the second straight month. The comparable expectations index also advanced, indicating that respondents were more optimistic about activity six months from now. Taken together, these indexes provide evidence that the economy is moving out of the soft patch that characterized activity in the fall.
The labor market indicators point to firmer conditions in December. Both the number of employees and average workweek metrics were solidly in positive territory. With that, the average weekly wage indicator increased month to month. The availability of skills index remained positive, suggesting that firms were having little difficulty finding workers. The labor market expectations measures indicate more robust hiring in coming months.
Despite the pickup in activity, business spending on equipment and services was still tempered, as were spending expectations. Prices paid reportedly increased faster than prices received, suggesting continued margin pressures.
The Carolinas Business Activity Index increased in December as sentiment continued to rebound. The headline current general business conditions index increased to 19 in December from 17 a month earlier. This index had dipped to a recent low of −12 in September during the post-stimulus workout period. With December's gain, the third straight improvement in the monthly index, it appears that the regional economy continues to recover from the soft patch that persisted for much of the late summer and fall.
The general business activity expectations index had fallen along with the current conditions index in the late summer and fall. Not surprisingly, it is now trending higher. The general business conditions expectations index moved up to 44 in December from 37 a month earlier. The seven-point increase left the general expectations metric at its highest level since May when it reached 60, the highest reading in the history of the series.
Labor markets in the Carolinas improved gradually in recent months. The number of workers indicator was 13 in December. While this is down from 17 in November, the positive number still indicates that a greater percentage of respondents are hiring than the percentage that is firing. In addition, the average hours index was positive again in December (at 7) indicating a longer workweek. Labor demand is expected to continue firming in coming months. The labor demand expectations index has increased three months in a row and, at 27, is at its highest level since June. The average hours expectations index increased to 13 in December from 6 a month earlier.
The labor supply indexes suggest that firms are not having much difficulty filling open positions. The availability of company specific skills index increased to 11 in December from 6 in November. Meanwhile, the comparable expectations measure jumped to 11 from −3.
On balance, the business spending metrics suggest that firms remain cautious even while business activity is picking up. The current business services spending index edged up to 1 in December from 0 the previous month. This metric has not topped 10 in more than two years. The current equipment and software component increased to 9 last month and held steady in December. Meanwhile, the initial reading for total capital equipment expenditures came in at 10. Business inventories increased modestly in December with the raw materials index at 11 and the finished goods measure at 10.
Businesses do plan to spend more in coming months. The business services spending expectations index declined 3 points in December, but at 13 remained solidly in expansion territory. The comparable equipment and software spending expectations index increased to 29 from 22. This measure has been on an upward trend for the past three months and currently stands at its highest level since January 2008. The initial total capital equipment spending expectations measure was 29 in December. Inventory levels were expected to increase modestly in coming months.
The pricing indexes are now reported as annualized percent changes. Previously, the pricing metrics were reported as diffusion indexes.
In December, respondents indicated that current prices paid were increasing at an annualized rate of 3.2 percent while prices received increased at a pace of 2.5 percent. This suggests pressure on profit margins. In coming months, firms expect prices paid to advance at a 3.6 percent annualized rate while prices received are expected to climb at a steady rate of 2.5 percent.

Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is a second rate bully who has one aim in life–maintain power in Israel, regardless of cost to the country's future. He has used fear of rockets from Gaza to terrify Israelis into abandoning any hope for peace with President Abbas. The Bibi man has made clear new settlements will be constructed on the West Bank and thus end any hope of reaching a peace accord with the Palestinian Authority.
There is one problem with the Netanyahu solution– if no Palestinian state is created this means millions of Muslims will remain part of the 'Jewish state.' How many years, ten, twenty, or what,can the democracy of Israel refuse to allow Palestinians to vote if they are citizens of Israel?? At one point or another, Palestinians will vote and gain control of the "Jewish state." What then, maintain a two class citizenship forever??

Steven Spielberg's career has been famously schizoid. On the one hand, he has made films borne aloft by exuberant juvenility (the Indiana Jones pictures, Jurassic Park, and so forth); on the other hand, he has made mature films of serious intent (The Color Purple, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan). And … there is also a third hand: he has combined those two types, most notably in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, in which he transmuted a fascinating science fiction film into near-theology. —Stanley Kauffmann, New Republic, 23 July 2001

Saks Fifth Avenue
Saks Fifth Avenue NYC is renowned for its unparalleled selection of designer clothes, jewelry, accessories and more for women, men and children. Its world-famous shoe salon – 10022-SHOE – is a breathtaking must-see, filled with exquisite designer shoes.
About Saks Fifth Avenue NYC: Saks Fifth Avenue was the brainchild of Horace Saks and Bernard Gimbel, who operated independent retail stores on New York's 34th Street at Herald Square in the early 1900s. Their dream was to construct a unique specialty store that would become synonymous with fashionable, gracious living. The combined financial input of these great merchant families led to the purchase of a site between 49th and 50th Streets on upper Fifth Avenue, then jointly occupied by the Democratic Club and the Buckingham Hotel. With the opening of its founders' "dream store" on September 15, 1924, Saks Fifth Avenue NYC became the first large retail operation to locate in what was then primarily a residential district. By offering the finest quality men's and women's fashions, as well as an extraordinary program of customer services, Saks Fifth Avenue has become the byword for taste and elegance. Saks Fifth Avenue has had a rich history as a fashion innovator: from selling ski equipment in the 1930's to launching Estee Lauder's cosmetic line in the 1940's; from decorating the 1969 White House Christmas tree to introducing saks.com, their on-line shopping experience, in the summer of 2000. In 2007, Saks Fifth Avenue NYC started 10022-SHOE, the designer shoe salon so big, "it has its own ZIP code." With the opening of their first prototype Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH store in 1992, they began to further expand in the off-price luxury business, offering value-priced designer clothes and accessories. In 2013, Saks Incorporated was acquired by Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), North America's longest continually operated company, joining a portfolio of iconic brands including Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor. Richard Baker currently presides as Governor and CEO of Hudson's Bay Company. The company's stock is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "HBC".

Fabric swatches for a guest book?
