Youth Pessimistic About the Summer Job Market
Only one out of ten young people believe that they can get a summer job in their own professional field, according to a new survey. The research indicates that the vast majority of young people find the search for summer jobs stressful.
Only 11 percent believe that they will definitely get a place that will correspond with their studies.
Medical and construction students are the most confident of landing a relevant summer job.
The research was conducted by the Vastuullinen kesäduuni (Responsible summer job) 2011 campaign, which questioned 650 degree students aged 16-25.
The joint campaign by the Finnish Children and Youth Foundation and Alma Media challenges employers to hire more young people for better summer jobs.

Lehman Downgrades Cabot Microelectronics
Lehman downgrades Cabot Microelectronics (CCMP ) to equal-weight from overweight.
Analyst Ted Berg says the sell-off in shares reduced Cabot's valuation, but believes investors may be better served sitting on sideline, at least until we can get greater clarity on market share, pricing, and profitability trends.
He notes while competitors' gains at 90nm is well documented, he's concerned with what appears to be cracks forming in the company's core market share at 130nm. He believes pricing trends could weaken more than expected, leading to weaker margins.
Berg sees slower growth in Cabot's served market, and weaker free cash this year due to a much higher capital expenditure. He cuts his $42 target to $34.

Line 6 M13 Foot Switch Replacement Guide
The Line 6 M13 is a fantastic multi-fx unit with a lot going for it: tons of amazing effects, a respectable looper, stereo operation, programmable stereo fx loop and loads of routing options. With all these options at your feet, it's almost a given that some of the foot switches are going to see their share of rock action. Well, after nearly a solid year of hard use, certain switches (thanks to specific switching combinations) began to take their toll on my beloved M13. As noted on many gear forums, most of my switches died a slow and very predictable death: failure to turn on and/or off reliably and then engaging effects without even asking.
I'm not going gripe about Line 6′s choice of inexpensive switches here. With 15 switches on-board, I'm sure this was a practical production and economical manufacturing choice on Line 6′s part that ultimately kept the M13 cheap enough for the average musician to buy. I get it. Plus, once you start poking around inside, I think you'll have a new found respect for the engineers and designers that were involved in bringing an FX unit like the M13 to market. It's pretty impressive work.
This tutorial will guide you, step by step, on how to replace the stock Line 6 foot switches (which are actually circuit board-mounted tactile switches) with rugged soft-touch momentary switches. This mod is not for the faint of heart or for those looking for a quick and easy fix. You'll need to have the right tools and some solid skills with a soldering iron to pull this off. Be forewarned, there is no turning back once you start drilling holes for the new foot switches. This mod is non-reversible and there is always a chance that you will totally screw something up. Proceed with extreme caution, and please don't come crying or complaining when you have messed something up.
Truth be told, if I had to do this all over again, I would have simply boxed my M13 up and sent it off to established and experienced Line 6 modders like John Vaughn at JHV3.Com or Jim Rodgers with R3FX.Com. From anywhere between $120-135, they will do this particular mod for you. By the time you factor in the cost of the actual switches and their labor, that's a fantastic deal. Plus, there are a few other handy mods they can add while they have the unit open. Stuff like Tap-Tempo jacks and Dual Preset options. Well worth looking into – trust me.
But, for those of you that have obsessive need to doing something on your own, let's get started.
First off, here's a run down on the tools and parts you will need.
Phillips Screwdriver, Metal File (Fine), Adjustable Cresent Wrench, Allen or Hex Wrenches, Wire snips (or Wire Stripper) and Needle Nose Pliers.
Desoldering Gun (or Desoldering Braid), Soldering Iron (with medium or fine tip) and a Hot Glue Gun (not pictured).
Solder or soldering wire.
Electric Drill.
Assorted Drill Bits (For Metal).
22AWG or 28AWG Solid or Multi-Strand Wire
The switches we'll be using to replace the stock Line 6 ones are Momentary NO SPST "Soft-Touch" (Soft-Touch Normally Open). I ordered 15 of these from the fine folks over at Small Bear Electronics. As of this post they were around $3.95 a piece. They have a nice solid feel and are really quiet compared to most of the 3PDT switches you'll find on boutique true-bypass stomp boxes. The direct link to their ordering page can be found HERE.
Now onto the mod itself…
Remove the back panel. Pull out your handy Phillips Screwdriver and unscrew the 8 screws shown.
Next, remove the two screws on the backside of the unit. From there, the back panel will come loose by sliding to either side to free it from the main frame.
While we are working on the back of the M13, let's pull out our adjustable Crescent Wrench and take off the nuts for all the input, output, fx loop and expression pedal jacks.
Moving to the top of the M13, gently pull off the parameter control knobs. Most of these with come off easily with your fingers but a few may need some encouragement from your needle nose pliers.
Now that the back panel is off, we can start removing the M13′s internal circuit boards and carefully set them aside. With all the holes we will be drilling, there will be ample amounts of metal shavings flying about. We don't want any of these bits lodging into our sensitive electronics and harming them.
The upper, middle and lower foot switch circuit boards are held in place by three plastic snaps by each of the 15 individual switches. Take your time here! Slowly pull the circuit board upward while flexing the three plastic pieces away from their respective square cutouts with your fingers or a screwdriver. Work you way from one side of the board to the other until all five switches are free.
Here's a shot of one of the mount sections for one of the switches. These three square cutouts are where the plastic part of the foot switch clasps to.
And here a close-up shot the three plastic uprights that poke through these 3 square cutouts:
The main upper circuit board is secured by 8 screws. Remove these.
Slowly wiggle the Power Switch cables side to side until they come loose. Take note of the upper and lower placement of the cables. My M13 had a white cable on top and the black one on the bottom.
Here's a close-up shot of the Power Cables removed.
Once the upper board is free, carefully fold it back to make room for access to the lower board. This is the board that contains all the potentiometers and four displays. Use your Phillips Screwdriver to remove the 6 screws and then use a Crescent Wrench to take off the two metal standoffs.
At this point, the circuit boards should be set aside. All of the boards are all held together by ribbon cables. There is no need to separate them.
Now that the circuit boards have been removed, we can start working on the actual switches. These are held in place by a single nut and hex-topped bolt. Bust out your Allen or Hex Wrench set, find the appropriate sized wrench and start unscrewing them from the top. If they seem to be spinning freely, reach around the inside with your Crescent Wrench and hold the nut in place.
Here's the placement of the Hex Nut:
Once all 15 foot switches are removed, we'll need to pull out the old actuators. This is accomplished by taking off a small locking clip on the back of the assembly. Use your needle nose pliers to pull these clips off.
With the lock clip removed, you will be able to pull the switch actuator through the chrome mount. The switch has two springs and small rubber pad attached to it. Here's a shot of all the old switches. You can toss these since you won't be needing these anymore…
The plastic LED/Mount pieces that rest in the Chrome Switch Mounts can now be selectively clipped. Clip the 3 mount pieces along with the two extra supports flush with the base of the plastic mount. Leave the two cylindrical pieces alone since I think they help carry light from the board mounted LEDs to the status part of the switches. Just a theory…
Here's the underside of the chrome switch mount and our newly clipped plastic piece put back together.
Next step is to re-attach all of the 15 chrome mounts (with their respective plastic pieces) back onto the M13 chassis. This will make drilling the holes for the new Momentary Switches a lot easier. You can see that a few of the new holes are already drilled out in this picture.
Grab your trusty Power Drill and load up a 15/32 metal bit. Get your angle lined up and start drilling. Let the drill bit do all the work and take your time! The metal on the chrome mounts appears to be aluminum so you don't need to apply that much pressure to drill out the hole. Once you've drilled out the holes test fit your Momentary Switches. If they are too tight, simply work your bit in and out of the hole with the drill at half speed.
Here's a shot of one the newly drilled holes. The hole is drilled out, but it's not exactly a pretty sight. There is still a bit of excess metal poking up which we will need to file off using our fine metal file.
Here is our switch mount filed flat. After blowing away all the filings, it will be ready to insert the new Momentary Switches into.
Now it's time to install all 15 of our new Momentary Switches. These switches come with two nuts and a washer. The lower nut serves as height adjustment for the switch. Because of the limited space within the M13 – especially on the lower front row – I chose to remove the lower nut entirely and let the underside of the switch itself rest flat for mounting. This worked out well, and the switches are the perfect height once installed.
Here's a exterior shot of the new switches installed.
And a full shot from the interior. I chose to install the switches with the solder points facing left (right when flipped upright) but it doesn't really matter.
Now that our switches are installed, it's time to fire up the desoldering iron to remove the stock tactile switches on the three foot switch circuit boards. If you don't have access to a desoldering gun, use desoldering braid. Both work really well. On occasion, I use a combination of both the gun and the braid to pull solder from boards and/or parts. Each of the 15 tactile switches are mounted via four legs. Suck or draw out the solder on each of these and gently lift the old switch from the boards. If the switches prove to be a little stubborn, use a small screwdriver to pry the switches while desoldering or applying heat from a soldering iron.
Here's a shot of the old tactile switches ready for the trash can.
Grab your wire and we'll begin making the connections from the switches to the foot switch circuit boards. I used two different colors for my wire just to keep things things straight. Cut about 6-8 inches of wire for each connection. Strip around 3/8″ of plastic to reveal the wire. Use your needle nose pliers to form a hook on the stripped end. Attached and solder your wire to the solder mounts on the Momentary Switches. It doesn't matter which color goes where as long as you stay consistent for each switch. I went with grey on the bottom and white on the top.
Position the circuit board into place to figure out how much wire you will need to reach the old tactile holes. You need to leave enough room for to move these into place. Cut your wires extra long on the first switches and figure out the length that works for you.
Note the wiring hookup/layout: White wire to the upper right circuit board hole, grey to the lower left hole. Repeat this for all 15 switches.
The lower row of foot switches and circuit board require some extra attention due to the space constraints. We'll need to make as much room as possible for everything to fit properly. First step is to clip our foot switch wires and file down the solder joints on the underside of the board. Take your time while filing and make sure to kept your file nice and level to avoid ruining any leads on the board.
Next step is to drill out 3 holes in the circuit board that interfere with the bottom panel holes. Line up the lower board using the 3 old plastic switch holes as a guide to place the lower board over the new switches. Mark the holes with a thin sharpie marker. pull the board back out and then drill out the new holes on the circuit board. Eye the board to make sure you aren't drilling through any circuit leads. There is actually a decent amount of distance between the new holes and any circuitry but double check anyway. Choose a drill bit that is slight bigger than the existing chassis hole. Remember, we are only drilling out the circuit board holes, NOT the holes in the main chassis. We are just making room for the chassis screws to pass through so they can secure the back panel.
Here's the newly drilled hole in the circuit board:
Next step is to place some electrical tape over the lower row of foot switch solder joints. I doubt there are any points of contact that could short them out but I played it safe anyway.
This lower foot switch circuit board has one more item soldered to it that has a some clearance issues: the Ribbon Cable Mount. In order to minimize stress on the circuit board once the back panel is in place, we'll need to file a decent amount of plastic off of it to give us ample room. In the process of taking off so much of the plastic material, the side snaps that hold the ribbon in place may become loose or fall off entirely. Use your hot glue gun and apply a few dabs of melted glue to the edges to prevent any connection problems. Here's a shot of my filed ribbon snap before adding the hot glue.
Since the all three foot switch circuit boards were originally held in place by the clear plastic switch foot switch standoffs that we snipped and drilled through, we now need a way to secure these. I had originally thought of using velcro tabs, but stumbled upon a 3M product called Extreme Mounting Tape while browsing the aisles of my local hardware store. This stuff claims to be able to hold up 20 pounds of weight – a full mailbox in the example. It's not exactly cheap at almost 10 bucks but I decided to give it a shot.
Without question, this stuff works as advertised. Not only is it two-sided, ultra sticky and thinner than velcro tabs, it's also very easy to cut into small rectangles which perfect for the backs of our new Momentary Switches. Once you have the tape on the Momentary Switches carefully line up the circuit boards with the switch and rest them in place. The Extreme Mounting Tape is super sticky so make sure you take the time to align things properly. I used the three square cutouts in the circuit board to eyeball my position – relative to the switch below. Take extra care in lining up the lower board and don't forget about the circuit board holes we drilled earlier. Those need to be lined up as well. Here's a shot of the Extreme Tape along with the placement of said tape on a few of the switches:
Now it's time to put the lower display board and main board back into place with their respective screws and metal standoffs. I also added some small zip ties to all the foot switch wires to get them nice and tidy.
Before we put the bottom panel back on, now is a great time to test all your new switches!
Hopefully all your switches work! After testing all your foot switch-related functions, it's time to put the rest of the M13 back together! Refer to the earlier disassembly steps and photos and reverse the process.
Without question, the new switches are huge improvement over the stock versions. Not only in terms of overall quality and feel, but also in the all important category of reliability. I'll admit this isn't the easiest mod in the world, but it's definitely one of the most rewarding I've ever tackled.
As always, if you have anything to add to this tutorial, please feel free to post something in the comment section. I'd like to fine tune this M13 Mod Tutorial since it is so extensive and somewhat involved. Hopefully, I haven't skipped a major step along the way that leaves you hanging. That said, we can't offer tech support on this. You are more than welcome to post your troubles, just don't expect a quick response. As with most things in life, you are on your own.

HTC's Scribe Technology lets you use a stylus to write all over the screen.
While the HTC Flyer, the Kindle Fire and the BlackBerry PlayBook are all 7 inch tablets, Amazon is expected to expand the price wars to 10 inch tablets with the launch of its 10.1 inch device code named the "Coyote" perhaps before the end of this year. Pricing for this tablet is expected to be $249.99 which will undercut the competition like the Apple iPad 2. Amazon doesn't mind taking a loss on its tablets as they expect to more than make up the difference from selling apps, content and cloud based services.

Apr 19, 2013 - By Randy Tucker, Sports WriterIt was the trip of a lifetime for Riverton sixth-grader Sath Ta Prue. Prue traveled to New Orleans recently to attend the NCAA Women's Final Four basketball tournament with her aunts Melissa and Mary Brown.
Prue's mother, Alma Brown, was unable to leave her duties as St. Stephen's Elementary principal and did not attend.
Prue is of the Northern Arapahoe and Rosebud Sioux Tribes
While in New Orleans the trio was able to spend time with the Louisville women's team and specifically with Cardinal sisters Jude and Shoni Schimmel.
The Schimmel girls are from Mission, Ore., and are enrolled members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
The Schimmels have emerged as positive role models on reservations across the nation. Their quiet, unassuming attitude off the court and tenacious playing style while on the floor lend them well to this role.
"Jude has the highest grade-point average of anyone in the final four," Prue said.
"I wanted to share with her what hard work and determination can do," Prue's aunt Melissa said. "It's a really big accomplishment. I can't explain how awesome it is. It shows everyone that if you have a dream and work hard you can make it come true."
Jude and Shoni's father, Rick. met the trio and invited them to join the team as the girls watched the Louisville men's team battle Michigan for the men's title on Monday night.
A big screen was set up in the lobby of the Sheraton Hotel in New Orleans, and Prue and her aunts were able to mingle with team members and watch the game.
The upstart Louisville women fell hard to the powerful University of Connecticut 93-60 in the championship game.
"I can't believe we were there," Prue said. "It was a tribute to our family support."
The opportunity for a 12-year-old sixth-grader to interact with the two sisters had a unique and positive impact on Prue.
When asked what impressed her most about the Schimmel sisters Prue said. "Their accomplishments and their integrity. They made it to college and worked hard to get there."
The 5-10 Prue already is playing competitive basketball and hopes to follow in her heroes' footsteps.
"I'd like to go to college at Kansas," Prue said.
While she would love to play basketball for the Jayhawks, she has other goals as well. She would like to study some form of science in college.
"They were gracious and humble. They talked with you and their parents were awesome," Melissa Brown said of the Louisville stars. "It takes a reservation. Their values were inside them when they left. This is another way for our youth to show them a path."

UPDATED: Microsoft's Xbox Head Leaving Company to be Zynga's CEO
Tiffany Kaiser
July 1, 2013 2:21 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Some believe he was actually fired for his Xbox One statements
Microsoft's Xbox Head, who has made some
controversial statements
regarding the new Xbox One, is reportedly leaving the Windows giant for a top spot at Zynga.
Don Mattrick, the president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, will leave Microsoft to take on a position at social gaming company Zynga -- possibly as CEO. His new spot at the company is expected to be announced as soon as today.
For Zynga, this could be a great move. The company has had troubles ever since its initial public offering (IPO) back in 2011. It filed its Form S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 1, 2011 and began trading December 16, 2011 at $10 per share. However, stock fell throughout 2012, hitting as low as $2.27 per share by October.
One of Zynga's core problems is that it's having a hard time taking on the mobile space. Its Web business has been declining faster than expected, and its mobile efforts aren't enough to fill the gap. Also, its
casual, social games
don't seem to have long-term viability. It has had to axe 18 games in recent months -- including PetVille, FishVille, Mafia Wars 2 and Vampire Wars -- due to reduced popularity (and to make room for new games).
Just last month, Zynga was forced to
lay off 18 percent of its workforce
(about 520 employees) by August 2013. The latest layoffs will affect all parts of the
social gaming company
, and it will even have to close its offices in Dallas, Los Angeles and New York. However, it will save the company about $70 million to $80 million.
With Mattrick at the helm, who will work closely with Zynga's current CEO Mark Pincus, the gaming company could turn things around.
Mattrick has been at Microsoft since 2007, but lately, he has proven to be a bit of a controversial figure at the company. When gamers learned of the new Xbox console's -- Xbox One -- new "always-on" digital rights management (DRM) system, many expressed anger toward the idea. Not everyone has Internet access at all times, meaning that the new system would pose a problem for many gamers who are either in rural areas with slow connections, travelling or experience Internet issues with providers.
When gamers lashed out about the new always-on issue, Mattrick advised that they
don't buy an Xbox One
"Some of the advantages that you get, of having, a box that is designed to use an online state, so, that, uh, to me is the future-proof choice, and I think people, could've arguably gone the other way if we didn't do it and fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called Xbox 360," said Mattrick.
Surely, Microsoft wasn't happy that its entertainment head was telling consumers not to buy its latest product. That's why many rumors currently circulating say that Mattrick was actually fired from Microsoft, much like what happened to former Xbox Creative Director Adam Orth.
Orth was fired for arguing with gamers about their ability to play offline.
Just a week after Mattrick made these comments about the Xbox One, Microsoft
dropped its always-on requirement
and the used games restrictions for the Xbox One. This meant that gamers no longer needed to have an Internet connection to play an offline Xbox One game (they will only need to go through a one-time setup over the Internet when the console first boots up), and gamers can trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like they do now.
It's hard to say if Mattrick is leaving on his own accord or got the boot for his actions, but more details should arise later, and we'll update this piece as they do.
UPDATE: Monday, July 1, 2013 @ 5:00 P.M. -
Zynga announced in an email to all employees that Mattrick is the company's new CEO, and Zynga's current CEO (Mark Pincus) will now be the Chief Product Officer and will remain Chairman of its Board of Directors.
"This is a great opportunity for Don, and I wish him success," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "Don's directs will report to me and will continue to drive the day-to-day business as a team, particularly focused on shipping Xbox One this holiday. Thank you, Don, for setting us on a path to completely redefine the entertainment industry."
Zynga's stock price jumped 10.43 percent to $3.07 this morning after rumors of the new CEO started circulating. The stock then gained another 3.58 percent reaching $3.18 per share in after-hours trading once Mattrick's new position was actually announced.

Keep fit as you enjoy unparalleled views across Rome.
One of the most enjoyable ways to keep fit at the Rome Cavalieri is swimming, as the grounds have three outdoor pools and one indoor pool. The main outdoor pool features a stylish poolside bar, whilst the other two pools are nestled deeper into the picturesque Mediterranean park and include a pool that is designed for children to ensure their fun is always kept safe. Parents can look on this pool from the luxury of a whirlpool positioned close to the children's pool. Another great way to keep fit is a jog or walk along the 800 meter fitness trail that runs through the beautiful grounds of the Rome Cavalieri hotel, lined with Mediterranean pines and boasting the best views of the city beneath. Improve your tennis on one of the two Red-Clay tennis courts, often used by professional players during their visits to Rome. Book a private lesson from world-class teachers or simply have a quick volley at your own leisure. Courts are also floodlit for your convenience.
Fitness and Recreation at the Rome Cavalieri Hotel
Outdoor Pools
Glittering in the Italian sun with a stylish poolside bar as the perfect accompaniment, the main pool is the ideal place to swim a few slow laps whilst enjoying the scenery around you.
Children's Pool
Be calm knowing that your children are having the best fun as you can look after them from the comfortable close-by whirlpool.
Fitness Trail
Take a jog or walk along this picturesque trail that stretches for 800 meters around the finest floral gardens. Lined with pine trees to keep you cool, this trail is the ideal way to clear your head and keep fit at the same time.
Indoor Pool
Dip your toe in pure decadence in the indoor pool, filled with natural light from the glass dome that sits above the water. These are the small touches that make this pool wonderful, from the fountain that splashes into the hydromassage pool to the Japanese stone walkway that massages the soles of tired feet.
Tennis Court
Play on tennis courts fit for legends of the game, with two clay tennis courts at the Rome Cavalieri that have been designed to Davis Cup standard. Improve your game with private tutoring or play a friendly with friends.
Start or end your day with a workout in the modern gym featuring the latest Technogym™ equipment. Let the friendly staff help you with a fitness plan, or with any advice you may need.
Exclusive Golf Experience
In partnership with the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the Rome Cavalieri, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts offers its guests the pleasure to enjoy an exclusive, authentic golfing experience in the heart of the Eternal City. The scenery is stupendous, with golfers enjoying views of St. Peter's Basilica from the fairways.
Designed by Jim Fazio, the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club will host Italy's Ryder Cup 2022. The club is home to an 18-hole, Par 72 championship course and a nine-hole, Par 65 resort course. The driving range is a first-class setup with two terraces and is open all year. The second hole would be the course's signature, with an 11th century castle mirrored in the lake that sits between the tee and putting green.

One of the results of the warfare against tbo Louisiana Lottery Company is that its stock has fallen from $1,200 to (500 a share. s The President has been talking to prominent members of both houses ot Congress and urging them to stand together and push legislation on the important bills now before them.

A Dexter lawyer has given up a practice of $50,000 a year in order to edit tho Rocky Mountain A'eics, which is the moat influential paper between Omaha and San Francisco. Good editors are soaree, and so are $50,000 lawyers. The combination of them in one individual will be something phenomenal. The Anti-Lottery Convention of Louisiana has issued a proclamation to the people of the United States asking their cooperation in wiping out the infamous Louisiana lottery, and giving a history of the formation and growth of the great | swindle.

There are still several criminals in the prisons of New York who are under sen* tenco of death, and the only legal method of putting them to death is by electrocution. But publio sentiment against this method is now so strong that the authori. ties will bo very unwilling to repeat the Kemmler experiment, and it is almost certain that the Legislature will repeal the law at its next session. Before this will convene however, the dates set for the execution of several murderers will arrive, and unless the Governor interposes his reprieve the sentences will have to be carried out.

The Afen Cannot Conceal the Disappoint' tnent Thej Feel Owing to the Ill-Ad vised Movement-The Affected Line* Steadily Gaining on the Striken, and Traffic Almost Restored-Vice Pmident Webb Makes a Statement or the Com paniee Position, and Telle What the Fo-tore Will be-The Knights of Labor to be Ignored. New Yokk, Aug. 10.-The oomplete paralysis of all traffic on the New York Central railroad, caused by the Knights ot Labor when they struck their first blow Friday night, led them to believe that they could maintain the stoppage of bnsi ness on the roads of the company. This they have not succeeded in doing and it is evident that a general feeling of disap pointment prevails among the strikers, though they will not admit this. They placed strong reliance upon the assistance of the Brotherhood of Looomotive Engineers, who,aooording to many of the Knights of Labor, were to have taken a hand ir tbo fight last night. A prominent Brotherhood man said to day that the Locomotive Engineers were not to be in this strike. It was not their fight, but of course, he added, should they be ordered dut they would go. He did not think such an order would be given tratss running again. To-day the regular scheduled passenger service of the Hudson River and New York Central and Harlem roads was resumed, the only change being a consolidation of oertain outgoing western trains. The Southwestern Limited and the Chicago Limited were consolidated and left on the Southwestern's time at 10:20 a.m. The North Shore vestibule limited, which was to hare left at 4:50 p. m., was consolidated with the fast Western express, and left at 6 p. m. All other trains left on schedule time, and local trains Cook passengers up the road as usual. The tie-up on the West Shore road which was inaugurated last night, did not affect passenger traffic. The through Boston trains on the New Haven road left as nsual. Police Captain Moll vain, who is on duty at the Grand Central depot, reported everything exceedingly quiet. Not an arrest had been made, and none of the strikers had been seen around the depot or along the line of the road. "Though all neoeatary precautions have been taken to nip any demonstrations in the bud," be said, "I do not anticipate trouble. It looks very much to me as if the whole thing would be over by Tuesday morning." steadily collatsing. John J. Holland, tho member of the Exeontive Board of the Knights, to-day said that be bad nothing to impart, and was very nnoommunicative. During the afternoon General Manager Toucey, Assistant Manager Theodore Voorhees, John H. Fife, B. A. Lomls, J. J. Loftus, Henry Douglass and John S. Green, the latter of whom are prominent freight officials of the New York Central road, held a conference in the offioe of Third Vice President Webb. At its conclusion it was announced that it had been decided to dispatch tomorrow all frieght trains to their various destinations. The following notice was posted in a consplcous place in the vloinity of the depot: "Persons Beek. ing employment on the New York Central and Hudson River road will please make application at the office of the Wagner Palace Car Company. The result was that applications were reoeived by the score. By one of the officials is was said 150 men had been taken on. Be also declared that all the men engaged were experienced railroad men. Mr. Voorhees said that he had reoeived a number of applications from railroad 'men living aroucd New York, among whom were some employed on the Elovated roads, others from Pittsburg and from men employed in the Erie yards. Some even came from as far West as Chicago. The company had not eDgaged them, as they found they could obtain ail they required in this city. tolicv op the company. Late in the afternoon tho following oir-oular was issued by Third Vice-President Webb, and was the result of tho long deliberation of tbo conferunco hold by tho roads' officials: "The position of the company is this: Wo shall select our own men, and wo do not propose that they will bo designated by tho Knights of Labor or its committees. When men aro dismissed we Bball get rid of tho iocilicient, the most vioious and those loast in accord with our interest. When promotions arc to bo made we "Will not be bound by tho seniority rnles promulgated by the Knights of Labor. A due consideration will always be given length of service but the first and most Important rale will be the qualifica-i ion of tbe men for the place. If our men have grievances, the proper officers will be willing to grant hearings and Bee that consideration is given, but we will not allow outsiders to interfere between the employer and employe. For this reason alouo I refused to allow Mr. Holland to disouss any ditferonoeB alleged to exist between the Company and its men, and not for the reason that we object to our em ployos being members of labor organizations. These are my views and I am satisfied that they are ooncurred in and approved by every offioial of tbe oompany, by its board of directors and by the gen tlemen who are most interested in its se ourities. Tbe strike is ill-advised, cannot snoceed, and we will pat it down and maintain the position we have taken." STlilliKKS HOLD A meeting. Master Workman Lee, of the Strikers Dlstriot Assembly, arrived from Albany at noon to-day and attended a meeting of the Knights this afternoon. More than 3,000 were present. Lee was most thusiastioally received. Reports were re ceived from various local assemblies along the line of tbe road. What they were could not be learned. Late this afternoon orders were issued to the police, made neoessary by an attempt to run freight trains whioh will be made to-morrow. Trouble is not anticipated but Acting Superintendent Byrnes considered that precautionary measures should be taken. IN THE WEST SHOIIE YARDS. At the West Shore depot and about the yards at Weehawken everything during tbe day was quiet, the road Is not greatly discommoded by tbe absence of the fifty switchmen who went out Saturday night. The fact is that of the 100 men employed about the yards and depot but one half were subject to tbe Knights' order. All passenger trains were dispatched, each being half an hour behind the schedule time. Incoming trains were delayed about the same time. Tbis was caased by the delay in switching. None of the strikers were to be Been in tho vicinity. Tbe yards were understood to be well picketed by the strikers to dissuade new men from making application for work. TROUBLE AT HEWITT. The Chicago and North Shore Limited, due at the Grand Central depot at 4 p. m., was tied up by strikers at Dewitt, New York, and is not expected to arrive until 7 o'olook to-morrow morning. There is great trouble at Dewitt, and the military has been oalled out. Tbe employes on a train that stopped at Dewitt took out aud destroyed tho ooupling pins and threatened violence to any men who might go to work. Secretary Hayes, of tbe Knights of Labor, oalled on Vice-President Webb this evening and left a letter from Father Donoey, favoring arbitration.

My son, yon remember reading, not many weeks ago, the statement of a minister of the gospel, a foreign missionary, ono might say, as he is preaching in New York, that be was obliged to go to Europe for a long rest because he was run down by overwork. "I have a hot box,'' he said, and then went on to explain that when a railway train ran too fast or too long tbe oar wheels became overheated, and the train had to eome to a halt and remain at rest until the "hot box" cooled off. "That is what ails me," said tbe good minister. "I am not sick, and I have not broken down; I bave simply been working too hard; I bave been going too fast and doing too muob, and bave a hot box. I must rest awhile; rest is all I need." Now, my son, I hope and I believe chat the preacher is a better theologian than ho is a railroader; he ought to be anyhow. He knew what ailed him; he bad a hot box. But ho didn't know what oaused it he said it was working too bard; doing too muoh. Nonsense, my boy; sheer nonsense; utter absurdity. He wasn't doing half as ranch as beshould bave been doing, maybe. He might bave been the laziest preacher in all busy New York, and yet had a hot box all the Bame. It isn't the speed that makes the journal beat np and set fire to the packing, my son. The box is out of order, thats's what's the matter. I have been shot from Philadelphia to Chicago on the "limited," the drivers fairly throwing the miles away like sec onds, and never a smoking axle nor the loss of a minute on a single mile; and the next day I have boarded tbe Wesley City, Binetown and Copperas Creek Air Line- runs from quarries to Kickapoo sidinr, mixed train, three times a week, 12 miles an hoar-and helped to oarry water from the oreek to pour on a hot box between every other station. It Isn't tbe speed at all. The next time you are whirling along on a lightning express and train stops to doctor a hot journal you will observe, if you please, that there is but one smoking axle on all the train of seven Pullmans- or is the the plural of that car Pullman?- running on an aggregate of 84 wheels. One hot box in 84. Now, tbe 83 wheels that are in good condition were running just as fast as the one that set fire to its paoking; making just as good time, and they are ready and able to keep on making them. The wheel that stops the train is out of order: there's something wrong about tbe wheel, it hasn't been doing a bit more than any other wheel on the train And when it says it has been doing too muoh and running too fast all otber wheels bave a right to squeak on their axles in derision, were they not too smoothly polished and too well oiled to be guilty of such harshness. Take care of yourself, my boy; keep yourself in condition; run regular trips on sohedule time; look after yourself before and after tbe run, and at the five minute stops, and I don't care how muoh you shorten up the time, yon may go as fast as you can make steam and turn the drivers. It isn't the great railways with their well appointed trains, thoroughly disciplined and praotically educated crews that are troubled with hot boxes. You find the hot boxes on the poorer roods that run their expresses on freight train time, and try to save oil by using plenty of water on the boxes, beoauBe water is cheap and they think there is more economy in cooling a hot journal with water that costs nothing, than there is in keeping it cool with oil that oosts money. If a railway train, shooting through the atmosphere like a streak of lightning, should suddenly burst into devouring flame simultaneously from pilot to marker, I shonld be inclined to think that speed and friotioh had something to do with destruction. But when only one wheel in a hundred begins to smoke,, 1 am positive it is the fault of that one wheel-unless it can prove that it was running faster and goieg farther than any other wheel of its sixe on the train. IS LILLIAN WIFE OR WIDOW. Her Rich Husband Goes Up in a Balloon . and His Whereabouts Unkoown. HE IS SAID TO BE WORTH $3,000,000. A Law Suit Replete With Romance-It Is Began by Lillian Morton, an Operatic Star, Known as Mine. Nordlca, to Recover a Fortune Left by Her Hnaband and Which She Clalme la Being Unlawfully Withheld. Providence, Aug. 10.-The last aocno in Mme. Lillian Nordioa's marital experience will be in a court room. She sues for letters of administration on her husband's property and incidentally demands a residue of tbe estate from G. L. Gower, her husband's brother, whioh she olaims he has wrongfully taken. In the early days of tbe telephone Professor Bell used a oircuit between this oity and Boston for the first experiment. A youug newspaper man, named F. A. Gower, became deeply interested in the new invention and eventually went on a lecturing tour with Professor Bell. Gower was a graduate of Brown University and well oonneeted. He mastered the points of telephonio soienoe in a short time and secured a right to introduce it in Europe. He went abroad, and in a few years was rolling in wealth as a result of his venture with the telephone.' While in Paris he met Miss Lillian Norton, an American studying musio, whose voice promised great things when fully developed. She lived with her mother. Unfortunately the Norton funds were about exhausted. Gower was smitten with the yonng singer's charms and married her as soon as he eonld. She proved an expensive adjunct to his household, as the finishing touches in the conservatory and the expenses of her introductions to tho operatio stage were enormous. They lived on a magnificent scale where-erer they went, the operatio bride enjoying all tho luxuries her husband's apparently exhanstless resources oould supply. Suddenly a halt was called. A relative of Gower sprang up with a demand for (50,-000 that had to be met. Mrs. F. A. Gower promptly left ber now impecunious lord, went to the Netherlands and in a short while instituted a suit for divorce in Boston. The grounds alleged were infidelity and criminal acta. She demanded alimony, based upon estimates of her reoent scale of living. It was enormous. Gower, in the meantime, had become interested in ballooning and had placed his affairs in the bands of his brother here in Providence, G. L. Gower. He gave bis brother an absolute power of attorney. Fred went to Paris and tbe last ever heard of him was in a balloon in an aeronautic flight from Paris to London; although there are rumors of his having been seen lately in India. His brother went abroad, bat singularly enough did not find a trace of his money or valuables. The widow was close on his heels but was equally unsuccessful. G. L. Gower returned to this country, invested over $10,-000 in Tacoma real estate, and this prop-ty,whioh is now worth }100,000,isthe bone of contention. Mrs. F. A, Gower, the tuneful widow, insists that the money came from her late husband's fund and rightfully belongs to her. She bos retained Gaston and Whitney, of Boston, to push her claim, who will doubtless accept Oscar Lapham, of this city, as referee in tbe taking of the testimony. .There is ono question of faot and one qoestion of law to be determined. Is she a widow ? PERSONAL PUT CrUNGB.

Deceased was the eldest son of Edward B. and Anna Fryer, and was aged 14 years and 5 months. He was an unusually bright'and promising youth, exhibiting such traits of oharacter as won for him tbe admiration and esteem of all who knew him. His death was a sad blow to hie parents and friends, but "God's ways are not as our ways," and all may rest assured that it is for tho best.

This week the Pennsylvania Railroad people will begin tearing down the old station in Jersey City through which millions and millions of people have hurried within the last decade.

Of oourse this makes neoessary the construction of a new - station into the second story of whieh passengers can be transported prior to their being carried across the river.

A Down Cycle for Whirlpool
Whirlpool (WHR) posted weaker quarterly earnings on Feb. 7, as the Benton Harbor (Mich.) appliance maker took hits amid lower demand in the U.S. and higher costs.
Net earnings during the quarter ended Dec. 31 amounted to $109 million, compared to $126 million during the previous year. But fourth-quarter net sales increased 25% from the prior year to $5 billion, driven primarily from the recent acquisition of the company's rival Maytag and strong international growth.
"Fourth-quarter margins were negatively affected by lower industry demand in the United States and higher material prices," CEO Jeff M. Fettig said in a press release Feb. 7. Fourth-quarter operating profit of $148 million was down from $79 million in the 2005 quarter, with the decline coming amid "significant increases in material costs, lower production as the company adjusted inventory levels with reduced industry demand, acquisition integration costs and increased merchandising expense."
Industry unit shipments of major appliances in North America, which fell around 8% in the quarter, hurt margins. For the year, industry unit shipments declined approximately 1%. The company expects 2007 industry unit shipments to decline approximately 2% to 3%.
"We expect to benefit from the ramp up of acquisition efficiencies, new product introductions to revitalize the Maytag brand, continued improvements in our international operations and product innovation during 2007, said Fettig.
Investors sold the stock more than 3% to $91.87 per share in afternoon trading Feb. 7 on the New York Stock Exchange.
After the news Standard & Poor's Corp. analyst Tom Smith reiterated a buy opinion the stock. "We expect integration of the Maytag acquisition to aid margins and provide cash for debt reduction," Smith said in a research note. The analyst expects Whirlpool to earn $9.00 per hare in 2007 and $10.25 in 2008. Smith has a 12-month target price on the stock of $108.(S&P, like BusinessWeek.com, is owned by The McGraw-Hill Cos.)

Stratton's Wager on the Presidency of the United States
By Craig Richardson On July 17, 2012 · 1 Comment · In A Big Something, Colorado Springs, Elections, History, Politics, Richard Marold
The presidential election of 1896 was contested between William Jennings Bryan and William McKinley, one of the central issues of the campaign was the utilization of silver as a peg for the valuing of the US Dollar. This was a major issue for silver mining states, Colorado chief among them. Cripple Creek Gold Baron Winfield Scott Stratton caused a bit of a stir when he decided to go against his self interests by supporting the guy who supported the free coinage of silver. Richard Marold tells the story:
Stratton's Wager on the Presidency of the United States
Here, you can listen to a longer excerpt of Bryan's famed "Cross of Gold" speech which was recorded in 1921, a quarter of a century after he first delivered the speech on the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1896:
William Jennings Bryan: Cross of Gold Speech
Richard Marold is a local historian who works as a Chautauquan and portrays Winfield Scott Stratton, Franklin Roosevelt and Nikola Tesla. He is also editor of Cheyenne Mountain Kiva, a journal of the history of central Colorado. His website is fdrtoday.org.

It's quite possible to cheat within the rules of golf… and make more of those testy short, breaking putts when doing it. To the right you see a putt that breaks to the right a few inches (obviously not everything is to scale). You see the paths of three balls: the red ball was struck ¼-inch towards the heel, the blue ball ¼-inch towards the toe, and the white ball dead center. All were struck with the same stroke and speed.
Two of the balls go in the hole. The white ball - a stroke with perfect sweet spot contact - went into the hole, as did the red ball. The blue ball missed low, even though it missed the sweet spot by the same margin as the red ball. How is this true?
Shots struck off-center are weaker. On a breaking putt, a weak putt breaks more. Shots struck off-center also start offline (see the three lines): towards the heel, putts start left and towards the toe, to the right. A slightly slower putt that's given more room to break (red ball) goes into the hole while a putt with the same diminished speed started below the perfect line misses completely (blue ball).
Use this to your advantage on the course: when you're faced with a short breaking putt, set up with the ball not on the sweet spot of your putter, but slightly to the high side just under ¼ inch. The "high side" is the opposite of the way the putt breaks: the heel on left-to-righters, and the toe on right-to-lefters (for right-handed putters, anyway).
Building in this small "margin of error" allows you to get the ball on a line and with a speed that rolls the ball into the hole far more frequently. We guarantee you'll make more of these putts… simply by "cheating" legally!

Insurance liability and GSD
An article on the internet caught my husbands attention regarding the top dogs that insurers rule out for coverage. We did just confirm with our insurance co. that if we want an umbrella policy for liability we cannot have a GSD. They have 5 dogs on their list and GSD is one. Please advise regarding pet liability insurance. We have seen companies that issue liability policies but no name recognition or assurance of their reliability. I am now worried that getting a GSD is going to be a problem for us. Any advice will be appreciated as the GSD is our favorite breed.
It depend on the state and on the insurance policy. Look into State Farm.
We have USAA with two GSD's and they don't care. There are plenty of insurance companies that don't worry about breeds- just do some digging :)
We also have USAA and it is the umbrella policy for liability that they will not cover GSDs for.
We have Farmer's and not a problem. They go by incidents.
I had to switch to white pigeon..we were with selective and I called and asked them which then meant I had just now confessed that I had a GSD...they too have 5 dogs on the list of no insurance. Had we not switched and had a claim...once they found out there was a banned dog on our property ANY claim could be denied..that would include fire etc...I couldn't chance that.
