Tools With Sports
John starts by discussing a great article by John Kryk about the reasons the Bills games in Toronto need to end, which includes Buffalo and Toronto taking shots at each other. Wease also argues that the Bills, and their fans, are being hurt by the Bills having a home game played in Canada. It looks like Bills GM Russ Brandon may agree with Wease... he's been quoted as saying...
"One of the things I said to you and the fans on Jan. 1 of this year was I was going to review every phase of this operation, and this series comes within that framework. There is a full evaluation that will take place on all of our business (including) what this series means, and I'm going to look at it very closely.
"It has been a challenged market there and certainly has not translated into enough wins for us there."

The guys also talk about this years cold weather Super Bowl, and if it's successful will the NFL open up future championships to other cold weather locations.
Marshall Fine Movie Reviews
We're talking to Marshall a day early this week because he's head off to Dubai for a film festval... tough life.
The only big movie this week is "Out Of The Furnace" starring Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, and Zoe Saldana. Wease makes fun of how cheesy the description is...
From Scott Cooper, the critically-acclaimed writer and director of Crazy Heart, comes a gripping and gritty drama about family, fate, circumstance, and justice. Russell Baze (Christian Bale) has a rough life: he works a dead-end blue collar job at the local steel mill by day, and cares for his terminally ill father by night. When Russell's brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) returns home from serving time in Iraq, he gets lured into one of the most ruthless crime rings in the Northeast and mysteriously disappears. The police fail to crack the case, so - with nothing left to lose - Russell takes matters into his own hands, putting his life on the line to seek justice for his brother.
Marsh though this movie was very good, and you've never seen Woody Harrelson so evil... even in "Natural Born Killers".
Wease talks about going to Tony D's last night, and running into the guy that called Jackie Nutt the c word yesterday.

Kevin Downey Jr.
We're joined in studio by Marianne's friend, comedia Kevin Downey Jr., not to be confused with Robert or Morton Downey Jr.
Wease got a kick out of the bio we found online for Kevin...
Kevin Downey Jr. grew up in Detroit, Michigan. He made his TV debut at age six on CKLW's "The Bozo Show" where he won a hockey stick, a 12-pack of Orange Crush and some Tootsie Rolls playing, The Bug Game. Kevin eventually moved to New York City looking for fame and fortune. He instantly landed a part at Macy's Santaland as an elf. Kevin was decimated to learn all elves were fired after the Christmas Eve shift. Shortly thereafter, Kevin went to his first comedy show at New York's "Comic Strip Live" and realized his calling; however, it would be three years until he had the courage to get on stage himself.
Kevin has headlined clubs everywhere in the U.S., and can be heard regularly on "The Bob and Tom Show", as well as, Sirius and XM Satellite radio. Kevin is also a proud member of Armed Forces Entertainment and he travels the world performing for the troops. Some of the bases he's been to include Pearl Harbor, Guam, Roi-Namur, Kwajalein Atoll, Singapore, Diego Garcia.
He's also appeared on "Comedy Central", "What Not to Wear" and "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." Kevin appears at the Trop's "Comedy Stop" in Las Vegas at least four times a year. He truly appreciates his ever-growing fan base. Kevin authors a column called, Drinking on $11 a Night, which can be read in "Bachelor Pad Magazine" and "GC" magazine, and online at usedwigs.com. Kevins song, "Secret Garden of Dirty Little Whores (who think they're better than me)", can be heard on college and traditional radio stations throughout the country. His nationally-released DVD called, "I'm not Gay, but Don't Stop" can be found on both Amazon.com and Netflix.
Creepy Kevin Downey Jr.
Marianne says Kevin is really good at being creepy, and they tell stories about gigs they've done together, including a really weird show in Alaska for a raging alcoholic promoter. This music video by Kevin shows how creepy he can be with his take on a stalker Elvis.
We're Not Gay, But...
The name of Kevin Downey Jr. DVD "I'm Not Gay, But Don't Stop" get Wease and Street Willie talking a little bit about Wease's famous "knob from a dude" story, which leads to more sex talk.
We also talk about colonoscopies, including a very funny story from Comedy Club owner Mark, who got his butt checked while in the presence of a hot med student, who looked like Kim Kardashian. Wease tries to get Willie to get a colonoscopy, which he's afraid of.
Paul Walker Story Of The Day
We found out this week that Paul Walker once bought an engagement ring for a soldier to give to his wife. But that isn't even the whole story. The couple he bought the ring for NEVER KNEW it was him, until now. They just did an interview and talked about meeting Paul in the jewelry store, but not knowing who he was. (Their names are Kristen and Kyle Upham. The story only came out because a clerk in the jewelry store came forward after Paul died. Her name is Irene King, and she worked for Bailey, Banks and Biddle in Santa Barbara, California, back in 2004 when the Uphams went shopping for a ring. The couple says Paul talked to them and found out Kyle had just come back from Iraq. They left without buying a ring that day, but the next day they were called back to the store, and someone handed them the ring and told them it was paid for. But Paul had left instructions not to give out his name.)
Kinison Klassics On The Wease Show
Kevin Downey Jr. tells stories about his interest in ghosts, and "ghost hunting". There are places in Rochester he should check out while here.
We also talk about Opie finding video of Sam Kinison on Wease's show back in the late 80s.

The redevelopment of more than 100 publicly-owned acres at Barangaroo and Darling Harbour is poised to transform Sydney's western side. By ignoring the lessons of past projects, and bowing to commercial interests, the projects are "civic failures".

Leading Ipswich Tory, Kev, Goes Marine le Pen.
"Fuck the system!" Says Kevin Algar, former Ipswich Tory Council Candidate.
It is not often that we publish news on Ipswich Tory Party.
MP Ben Gummer spends his time these days in a happy daze:
It is an exciting time to be in our town, and a privilege for me to serve this glorious constituency as it grasps a better future with both hands.
But all is not well in the Ipswich Conservative Association..
Leading activist, former Tory council candidate, and Brexit supporter, Kevin Algar, the Terror of Saint Jude's, is now backing Marine Le Pen for French President.
He comments on Facebook today, "She will win, the EU will collapse and the people of Europe shall be free."
According to well-established rumour Kev, as his friends don't call him, plans to hold a Suffolk victory party for the Front National.
This was his last celebration, (via East Anglia's Premier Political Blog) " Congratulations to US President elect Donald Trump."
Suzanne Moore, Ipswich's Favourite Daughter, writes New SCUM Manifesto.
Ipswich, Coach that took Suzanne from Provincial Obscurity to London's Bright Lights.
Ipswich is known internationally as the birthplace of celebrated scamp, songstress, poetess, pioneering post-cultural studies theorist, and radical feminist, Suzanne Moore.
In her multi-volume autobiography Moore refers to her younger days, punting along the Orwell, drinking snakebite in the Blue Coat Boy (pictured above), and attending Young Farmers' Balls.
An affection for her home town roots shines through her award winning writing.
Most recently,
Rio has showcased a post-Brexit nationalism the left should embrace. "Nationalism need not be racist and inward-looking. The Great Britain of the recent Olympics was inclusive, warm, sentimental and hardworking" (Guardian. 22nd of August.
Call us sentimental but a tear came to our eye when we read this latest finely crafted prose,
We publish extracts, but the real deal has to be read in the original, and finely savoured.
We dedicate today to the best loved daughter of the ancient Anglo-Saxon homeland
Suzanne Moore: Why I was wrong about men
You can't hate them all, can you? Actually, I can.
Having tried to live with various mishaps, I realise that this is not for me and it never will be. But then, nor will the kind of reasonable feminism in which we make allowances for men. Because they are men. I have had it all my life: pro-choice marches in which men insist that they walk at the front. A left-wing party that cannot deal with a female leader. The continuing pushing back of women's rights.
The more I hate men (#YesAllMen), the more I don't mind individual ones, actually, as it is clear that some can be entertaining for a while. Before you even bother whingeing that my hatred of the taskmasters of patriarchy is somehow equivalent to systematic misogyny, to the ongoing killing, rape and torture and erasure of women, know this: I once made exceptions. I was wrong.
Well-established rumour has it that Suzanne plans to speak on Ipswich Corn Hill this coming Saturday on her latest work, which some are already calling the 21st Century's answer to Valerie Solanas's SCUM Manifesto.
We look forward to seeing her, amongst the Suffolk Bor selling piles of mangelwurzel, the essential ingredient in the soup that has made Ipswich a byword for high-class cuisine.

All men are Brethren. Equality, Liberty and Fraternity. Heroic citizens – the thunder-notes of your victory have sounded across the Channel, awakening the sympathies and hopes of every lover of liberty….Accept our fraternal salutations and our earnest wishes that the French Republic may triumph over its enemies and become a model for the imitation of the world. Vive La République! (1)
"A Republic for France: the Charter for England." Rally Ipswich Corn Hill. 1848.
Ipswich is an ancient town. Sited on the estuary of the river Orwell, whose upper reaches are called the Gipping, Ipswich is Gipperswich. The remains of a Roman villa have been found in the suburbs. The settlement itself is Saxon, the street plan of the centre remains the same as laid down in the 7th century: Carr Street-Tavern Street-Cornhill-Westgate street. Kilns producing pottery, "Ipswich ware" were established.
Ipswich ware owes its origins to the Rhineland and Frisia. Dorstadt on the Lek Rhine is known to have controlled the trade routes from the Rhine and the Baltic in the eighth and ninth centuries, and Ipswich is on the shortest route from Rhine mouth. (2)
Ipswich is an old town. Walking around the centre you pass medieval churches, half-timbered buildings, like the famous Ancient House, and the pub, the Spread Eagle, and, at the head of a beautiful park, the sixteenth century Christchurch mansion, which stands on the site of the Augustinian Priory of the Holy Trinity, founded c.1177. Just next to the entrance is St Margaret's plain, named after a Dutch word reflecting the centuries long presence of traders from Holland. Reminders of its port and trading history ere everywhere. Near to the quayside is the old Jewish cemetery, which commentates the presence of a group of merchants who established a synagogue (no longer there) in Rope Walk.
Ipswich is working class town. The docks, for centuries the basis of the local economy, and the engineering works, may have shrunk as employers, but the majority of the people work in manual, service and ordinary clerical jobs. There is a large migrant population, Portuguese speakers, Eastern Europeans, over a thousand Kurds, and countless others, as well as longer established minority communities, principally Bangladeshi and Caribbean. Many people are mixed ethnicity. Passing by Rope Walk to the centre in the morning you can hear a dozen languages being spoken and see Polish, Chinese, Kurdish, Turkish barbers, an Indian-Bengali restaurant, a Lebanese-Moroccan restaurant…..
Ipswich is a town with a long-standing left and a labour movement. The anti-slavery campaigner Thomas Clarkson, a supporter of the early French revolution, and in my view one of the best people to have ever lived, made it his home. He is commentated in a street name. Rallies and activism against slavery attracted thousands. During the Chartist movement hey-day John Cook's Radical Infidel Repository in Upper Orwell Street sold the Northern Star. Later in the century trade unions founded the local labour party. A newsagent's by Grimwade Street sold Socialist publications, such as the Social Democratic Federation's Justice. There was strong suffragette movement….
Today we have a Tory MP (following Labour ones) but Labour controls the Borough council and the Trades Council is left wing. There were large protests against the County Council's austerity and privatisation programme.
Ipswich is a generous and warm town. During the terrible Ipswich serial killings in 2006 two young anarchist women organised a Reclaim the Night demonstration. It was attend by the left, councillors and members of every political party, the public, and the Salvation Army. Refusing stigmatisation Ipswich people and the local media declared that the victims were "Somebody's daughter". This love and compassion stuck deep into our hearts.
Ipswich is an internationalist town. When the refugee crisis first erupted a hastily organised rally by the Giles Statue took place. Around a hundred heard speeches from people expressing solidarity. The work of local refugee supporters continues.
The words of 1848 rally, "we are all brethren", still echo. Ipswich is, by trade, commerce and industry, by politics, and by people, an internationalist town. Faced with the hate of those attacking migrants, foreigners, and 'Brussels', there is one response: unity not division. To vote for the European Union is to listen to that call, to build our ties together, to fight for a better world. Another Europe is Possible!

Mr Passmore, ' Police Chief' 'not xenophobic or anti-European" of Suffolk Rants against Europeans criminals
Police Chief with Hard Line Views on 'European' Criminals Faces Resign Call.
Brexit campaign chiefs Boris Johnson and Michael Gove will roll into the region today to join Suffolk's crime commissioner in making a call for Britain to leave the European Union.
Mr Passmore, who said he did not want to fall out with anybody over his position and that his decision was a personal view, said his position was not xenophobic or anti-European.
Mr Passmore said high profile Suffolk cases, including the murder of Bury St Edmunds jeweller Peter Avis by a polish robber on the run and the rape of an 81-year-old by a Romanian who had been twice jailed in his home country, had been a "tipping point" and had convinced him to Vote Leave to regain control of Britain's borders.
"We have examples here in Suffolk over the last few years where people with criminal records have been able to move in and out of the UK. Of course, if there is a search warrant out for them, then of course we all cooperate and we have to be realistic. But we have had examples in Suffolk over the last years since I have been elected where this has gone wrong.
As leading Ipswich Tory Brexit campaigner, Kevin Algar, says, more bluntly, "How many rapists are you going to let loose?"
I would not risk my chances of getting justice were I a European migrant worker with the Suffolk police chief. on charge of my case.
After the expression of these controversial views, and according to established rumours, far more outrageous and bigoted opinions, there are calls for thing that calls itself;f a Police Commissioner, to resign from this sensitive position.
It's Boost, Boost for Ipswich as Town named Fifth Lowest in Country on 'Life-Satisfaction" Index.
Ipswich is celebrating a real feather in its cap.
It's today been rated the third happiest place in the country to live.
This was in a survey carried out by the property website 'Rightmove'.
Picture of typical Ipswich person's private transport (taken from above link):
Today (Ipswich Star).
The government's Office of National Statistics has just published its "wellbeing" index for 2015, showing the responses from 165,000 people across the country.
They were asked to summarise how they felt on four different subjects – and to rate their feelings between one and 10.
When asked: "How satisfied are you with your life generally?" The average in rating in Ipswich was 7.14 out of 10 – the fifth lowest in the UK.
But Ipswich has many excellent amenities (next to town centre):
Local MP, Lord Mayor of Ipswich, Minister for Ipswich, Editor of the Ipswich Star, and Patron of Lady's Lane Shrine for Healing the Sick and Poor, Ben Gummer said he would take the survey with a pinch of salt – especially as it comes out just six weeks after another survey by estate agency Rightmove named Ipswich as the third happiest town in the country.
Mr Gummer added: "I'm certainly trying to do my bit to make the lives of the people of Ipswich more satisfying by working with others to improve the town centre, by keeping up the pressure to improve rail services, and by trying to ensure the Wet Dock crossing is approved.
"But I don't think anyone should get hung up on this survey!"
Over Stoke Bridge near 'Planned' Wet Dock Crossing – convenient for yacht owners:
Mr Gummer is best known nationally for his radical plans to shake up local government,
Ben Gummer, who represents Ipswich, was speaking at a fringe event at the Conservative Party Conference organised by the 2020 group of Tory MPs.
The group sees itself as a factory for radical political ideas.
He suggested shaking up local government so that councillors solely representing local businesses could be elected to town halls.
Mr Gummer acknowledged the idea "had no hope of getting into a manifesto" but pointed to the City of London, as a model for how his idea works in practice.

Ipswich For Corbyn.
Rugby Tackle by Tony Blair Not Guaranteed!
The apocalyptic mood that seems to have seized the right-wing of the Labour Party and their Eustonite friends reached a frenzy this morning:
Tony Blair: Even if you hate me, please don't take Labour over the cliff edge.
The party is walking eyes shut, arms outstretched, over the cliff's edge to the jagged rocks below. This is not a moment to refrain from disturbing the serenity of the walk on the basis it causes "disunity". It is a moment for a rugby tackle if that were possible.
Even more so today, they do not think their challenges can be met by old-fashioned state control as the way to personal or social empowerment; they do not think breaking up Nato unilaterally is sensible; and they realise that a party without a serious deficit-reduction plan is not in these times a serious contender to govern them.
If Jeremy Corbyn becomes leader it won't be a defeat like 1983 or 2015 at the next election. It will mean rout, possibly annihilation. If he wins the leadership, the public will at first be amused, bemused and even intrigued. But as the years roll on, as Tory policies bite and the need for an effective opposition mounts – and oppositions are only effective if they stand a hope of winning – the public mood will turn to anger. They will seek to punish us. They will see themselves as victims not only of the Tory government but of our self-indulgence.
Jeremy Corbyn doesn't offer anything new. This is literally the most laughable of all the propositions advanced by his camp. Those of us who lived through the turmoil of the 80s know every line of this script. These are policies from the past that were rejected not because they were too principled, but because a majority of the British people thought they didn't work. And by the way, they were rejected by electorates round the world for the same reasons.
I also recall the 1980s – if you were there you would remember it.
The expression "old fashioned" was around then too.
It was used against those who wanted public influence and – yes – ownership (you can't control what you don't own – democratic socialist axiom), back in the ….1950s.
But at least the leading "revisionist" of that time, Tony Crossland, aimed for "social equality" and sought means to that goal ( The Future of Socialism. 1956).
In the 1980s faced with Thatcher there was a profound re-thinking on the left.
A high-point came with the Socialist Conferences (also known as the Chesterfield Conferences after the founding one) in the latter part of the decade.
They involved the left Labour Campaign group, notably Tony Benn, union and Labour Party activists, the Socialist Society (a 'new Left' group), left and pressure groups of all hues.
Over 2,000 people attended each of these events.
They debated topics, Hilary Wainwright noted (in a reply to the SWP's dismissal of the Labour left) such as, Left perspectives on winning the next election or Campaigning for the leadership: prospects and possibilities, the papers and workshops were on Democracy and state power, International finance, The fight for local government, The politics of race, The working class and socialism. Other events discussed feminism and socialism, green politics and constitutional reform (including Proportional Representation).
Documents emerged that offered a radical green democratic socialism based on participation and expanded rights.
Apart from that mouthful they put forward some clear ideas about workers' rights, feminism, welfare, and constitutional change.
All this, as things boiled down in the 1990s – not forgetting the Fall of Official Communism – to a choice between Blair and an effort to stand by the gains of social democratic public control, union rights, and welfare.
There is also nothing new about our opponents' rhetoric: all of this was shouted down as the foibles of the 'hard left' dinosaurs.
It seemed that a "multiplicity of democratic forces" in the 'New Times' would best be served through bolting down to the new free-market environment, and hope to add a little reform through the 'Third Way' (one idea that's now so past its sell-by date that even its authors have forgotten about it).
The "modernisers" of the Labour Party, Blair and then Brown's Cabinets, were even more electorally focused: they proposed a strategy based on an appeal the "aspirational " middle and working class that was indifferent to anything but their own personal interests and conservative (small and big 'C') values, what happened to them?
For the left the principal point about these Labour governments was that they opened up the remains of the social democratic state to new markets (the NHS' internal market) financing by PFI and turned over the unemployed to private profiteers, 'providers' of the various schemes like the New Deal.
Some of the Blair and Brown crew, and many of their immediate followers, went in for pretty old fashioned personal benefit.
One only has to look at those now benefiting in outsourcing companies like Capita to get a glimpse of that picture.
They did not bolster the position of unions – the grass-roots participatory foundation of many social rights.
On welfare they did not expand rights, or protect the "safe home" of the welfare state, but tried to reform the personal behaviour of the poor, the "socially excluded."
They did not up for the public goods that are needed for social equality, the universal services, the cash we have to have pumped into welfare run on a democratic basis , or freed the state from the grip of private exploiters – outsourcers – living off the general purse.
The money they pumped into public services went as quickly as it had appeared, at the first signs of an economic crisis.
What have they done since?
In a sentence: they have not fought austerity.
Corbyn, by starting from this position opens up the possibility of re-opening the left's imagination for those debates of the 1980s – ones which, it's easy to see, have a great deal of present-day relevance, in new and changed forms.
One big idea that's come back is public ownership of public provision.
This needs a pan-European approach, as developed by the Party of the European Left.
In the meantime…..
Today's Guardian attack on Corbyn carries all the moral and principled authority that Blair can draw upon:
Tony Blair's insatiable greed exposed by his secret deal with Saudi Arabia
John Stevens 22 January 2015.
Tony Blair has amassed a personal fortune since standing down as prime minister – often acting as an adviser to controversial businesses and regimes.
But yesterday the hefty fees he charges to act as a go-between were revealed.
A previously secret contract with a Saudi oil company headed by a member of the country's royal family has been leaked showing Mr Blair charging £41,000 a month and 2 per cent commission on any of the multi-million-pound deals he helped broker.
The emergence of the Saudi deal led to new criticism of Mr Blair's role as a Middle East envoy, but he strongly denied there is a conflict of interest.
The contract between Tony Blair Associates (TBA) and PetroSaudi signed in November 2010, said Mr Blair would personally arrange introductions to his contacts in China, such as senior politicians.
He had already attracted scathing criticism after it emerged that he had given Kazakhstan's autocratic president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, advice on how to manage his image after the slaughter of 14 unarmed civilians.
Mr Blair has said claims that he is worth £100million are 'greatly exaggerated'. But the Saudi contract shows how much he has been able to charge for his services.
Since leaving Downing Street in 2007, he has amassed a fortune including a property portfolio of 31 homes worth at least £25million.
He is one of the world's best paid speakers – earning up to £150,000 a speech – and has secured advisory roles with US investment bank JP Morgan and Swiss insurer Zurich International.
The Saudi contract stated that TBA would help find potential sources of new investment and added that Mr Blair would make 'introductions to the senior political leadership, industrial policymakers, corporate entities and other persons in China identified and deemed by us and you to be relevant to PetroSaudi's international strategy'.
The firm agreed it would not divulge his role without permission.
Meanwhile we learn that Ipswich Top Tory Kevin Algar has joined the Eustonite attack on Corbyn:
Jeremy Corbyn Signed Commons Motion Looking Forward To Asteroid Killing All Humans
The backbencher – who looks set to be voted Labour leader next month – signed an Early Day Motion (EDM) in 2004 called 'Pigeon Bombs' that criticised the way the birds were treated by, er, British spies
Labour leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn once declared his support for an asteroid killing every human on the planet – because of PIGEONS.
The backbencher – who looks set to be voted Labour leader next month – signed an Early Day Motion (EDM) in 2004 called 'Pigeon Bombs' that criticised the way the birds were treated by, er, British spies.
Adding his name to the motion alongside fellow Labour MPs John McDonnell and Tony Banks, Corbyn felt it was right to highlight the issue – and wanted an asteroid to obliterate every human on the planet for being "cruel and uncivilised".

Press Notes; As Sources Vary, So Does Their Protection
By ALEX S. JONES
Published: August 3, 1987
At The Wall Street Journal, a publication known for precision, editors have issued a memorandum that tries to get more precise about the protection of unnamed sources.
According to the memorandum, addressed in June to the staff of The Journal and signed by top editors: ''There is a difference between anonymous sources and confidential sources. An anonymous source is one whose name we've agreed to leave out of the paper, but whose identity we may later need to disclose - in the event of a libel suit, for example -in order to show that we had good reason for using the information.
''A confidential source is one whose name isn't published and whose identity we are pledged to keep secret, even if that means losing a lawsuit or going to jail. Obviously, reporters and editors need to be especially careful before agreeing to confidentiality, and especially before publishing material obtained from a confidential source.''
The memo, which was reported in the July issue of The Journalist & Financial Reporting, a business newsletter, was not meant merely to draw some technical distinction between the words ''anonymous'' and ''confidential,'' said Robert D. Sack, outside counsel for The Journal, who reviewed it before its issuance.
But agreements between a reporter and a source to keep the source anonymous are often vague, he said, as are such expressions as ''off the record'' and ''background,'' and can mean very different things, depending on the understanding of the person using the words.
Mr. Sack said the memo was intended to remind reporters that they should pay attention to the clarity of such agreements and to their own understanding of them. ''The question is what the reporter believes he's agreed to do,'' Mr. Sack said, adding that The Journal had never, to his knowledge, told a reporter that he had to disclose a source. War of The World
El Mundo, only two decades ago the leading newspaper in Puerto Rico, announced last week that it would cease publication.
The decision came after members of the Union of Journalists, Graphic Artists and Related Crafts had rejected a management-proposed reorganization plan that labor leaders said would have eliminated almost half the paper's 430 union jobs.
The Spanish-language paper was founded in 1919 and is Puerto Rico's oldest daily, but its management says it has been unprofitable for years.
Jose Feliciano, president of the union, which had been negotiating with managment since last September for a contract to replace one that expired then, said there seemed little chance that the announcement of a shutdown was a ploy to win union concessions.
Late last week the union filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, charging that El Mundo's recent suspension of the old contract's terms was illegal, since the law forbids such action as long as good-faith bargaining is continuing.
No management spokesman could be reached for comment, despite repeated telephone calls.
In 1972, during a seven-month strike at El Mundo, which means The World, competing papers mounted an all-out campaign to win its readers. El Mundo never recovered. The prestrike circulation was about 200,000, Mr. Feliciano said, but is now about half that.
El Mundo is owned by the Angel Ramos Foundation, named for the paper's late owner, and the decision to close must be approved by the foundation's board. The chairman is Argentina Hills, who was married to Mr. Ramos.
No date for closing has been announced, but last Friday's issue of El Mundo announced plans to publish a ''historic edition'' this Friday, in honor of the paper's 68th year. The Pravda Monthly
Beginning Thursday, an English-language digest of Pravda, the newspaper of the Soviet Communist Party, will be available monthly in the United States.
Profit is the motive rather than propaganda, according to James King, an English lawyer who is successfully publishing digests of Pravda in 25 countries. Though an agreement with the Soviet authorities makes the venture possible, Moscow is paid nothing, Mr. King said in a statement.
''I realize that some people will probably think I am a secret Communist, but nothing could be further from the truth,'' said Mr. King, who describes his political views as being to the right of the Democratic Party.
The first issue includes an article about a Pravda correspondent's visit to an American farm and, reflecting the Kremlin's new policy of openness, an examination of crime in the Soviet Union.
There are also Pravda's views on such topics as American movies, which it finds paranoid about the Russians, and a glowing report on Soviet elections. ''It would be silly to deny there is an element of propaganda in Pravda,'' Mr. King noted.

Ring of Fire High Quality Video and MP3 (below). Adam is on FIRE, another HOT performance tonight, true to who he is as an artist and not afraid to take risks. A very creative, current, unique, revolutionary and sexy version of 'Ring of Fire' using a middle eastern scale. Ring of Fire is a country music song popularized by Johnny Cash and co-written with his wife June Carter. This was personally my FAVORITE Adam Lambert's performance vs. Black or White and Satisfaction. To me this is one of those catchy songs that you just can't get out of your head once you hear it a couple of times.
Watch the video and let us know what do you think about this performance? You can comment below, follow the forum thread or join our live chat discussion.

The other contestants performed:
Matt Giraud – So Small (played piano)
Scott MacIntyre – I recognized his song, but for the life of me I can't
remember the name of it. (played piano)
Michael Sarver – Ain't Goin' Down Till the Sun Comes Up
Allison Iraheta – Blame It on Your Heart
Kris Allen – To Make You Feel My Love (sat on a stool)
Lil Rounds – Independence Day
Danny Gokey – Jesus, Take the Wheel (partial standing O)
Alexis Grace – Jolene
Anoop – You Were Always on My Mind
FINALLY… my personal comments:
First off, I'm a studio musician and I've been a musician for 13 years. Like a lot of people would objectively agree, the music industry in general has been at its lowest since 2004. With 'lowest' I (we) mean poor melodic composition and songwriting, no uniqueness/originality, technique, lack of connection and less passion in delivery.
As a musician I feel this is driven mainly the struggles a musician must endure to make a living, the mainstream media and how many 'sell out' artists make it in the business. Musicians making music to make sure it sells, instead of to make sure is a phenomenal melodic composition that connects with people. There are other factors but that's beyond the scope of this forum.
Beyond Adam Lambert being good looking and his image (well, I'm a straight male), I'm really a fan of Adam Lambert's art. I TRULY believe in him as an artist. For me, tonight with 'Ring of Fire,' he showed how willing he is to take risks, stay true to himself despite all the pressure and to even push his own boundaries. I thought his performance was very catchy and simply BRILLIANT.
While I found myself today watching 'Black' for the 100th time in a Pearl Jam concert (where the singer tries hard not to cry because he is so connected to the lyrics of his song), or listening to the Beatles, Led Zeppellin, Pink Floyd, and many of the bands that American Idol praises, I actually think that the music industry is just starting to make a huge come back and people like Adam Lambert are leading the way.
Yes, it is rebellious and it feels like another music revolution.
Cheers to the future of classic: ADAM LAMBERT.
Thanks for hearing me out

PURPOSE: Obesity has been associated with reduced pulmonary function in asthma. The response to BUD/FM pMDI by BMI (nonobese: <30 vs obese: ≥30 kg/m2) and patient's sex was assessed in moderate to severe persistent asthma patients.
METHODS: Data are pooled from 2 double-blind, 12-week, randomized studies (I [n=233]: NCT00652002; Drugs. 2006;66:2235; II [n=310]: NCT00702325) of asthma patients taking twice-daily BUD/FM pMDI 320/9 μg or BUD (I: pMDI 320 μg; II: dry powder inhaler 360 μg).
RESULTS: Absolute improvements in pulmonary function with BUD/FM were greater in obese versus nonobese males (predose FEV1: 0.39 vs 0.23L; morning PEF 52.7 vs 31.4L/min; evening PEF: 47.5 vs 28.4L/min) and similar in obese versus nonobese females (predose FEV1: 0.14 vs 0.18L; morning PEF 26.2 vs 23.6L/min; evening PEF: 23.4 vs 21.5L/min). Improvements in pulmonary function with BUD were similar or greater in nonobese versus obese males (predose FEV1: 0.10 vs 0.01L; morning PEF 11.7 vs 3.0L/min; evening PEF: 5.4 vs 2.7L/min) and nonobese versus obese females (predose FEV1: 0.12 vs 0.09L; morning PEF 10.8 vs 3.3L/min; evening PEF: 9.4 vs 7.0L/min). Absolute mean baseline predose FEV1 was lower in females versus males in both nonobese (1.98 vs 2.59L) and obese patients (1.79 vs 2.60L). Increases in the percentage of asthma control days with BUD/FM were greater in obese versus nonobese males (22.8% vs 13.8%) and obese versus nonobese females (23.3% vs 18.6%); increases with BUD were greater in obese versus nonobese males (12.4% vs 7.9%) and similar in obese versus nonobese females (12.5% vs 11.6%).
CONCLUSIONS: Obese and nonobese males and females showed improvements in pulmonary function and asthma control days with BUD/FM pMDI. Compared with nonobese patients, obese patients did not consistently show worse responses to BUD/FM or BUD treatment. Improvements in pulmonary function and asthma control days in both sexes were greater with BUD/FM versus BUD in obese and nonobese patients.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: These findings support the efficacy of BUD/FM pMDI 320/9 μg in obese and nonobese males and females.

hypothesis:The amount of sodium bicarbonate affects the number of bubbles produced when reacting with vinegar.
carbon dioxide in the sodium bicarbonate is needed to trap heat and to keep the Earth and us humans warm and for plants to photosynthesise.
bubbles flot to the surface of water and pops and floats in the air.
we use vinegar and sodium bicarbonate in confectionary food that's why it has holes in it looking spongey because of the carbon dioxide inside making the holes.
bubbles will let carbon dioxide escape while during the experiment when reacting with vinegar.
carbon dioxide makes bubbles and makes drinks fizzy.
sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) will react with vinegar and make bubbles and foam.

Four stars, clustered
Empyreal longing, flustered
Angels trying to dance on the head of a pin
There's no way in,
And no way out
Of this asterism.
Like Orion's belt,
Dreams bind, unfelt
Aeternitas, his face decayed,
Remains unswayed
You may not leave
This asterism.
Four stars, clustered
And Nut, body lustred,
Reclines and stretches out a single hand
To me.
And though I know not why,
This is me and the night sky.

A group of BT call centre workers from Liverpool have won Britain's biggest lottery prize, a £45.5 million share of the Euromillions jackpot.
The Liverpool Echo reported that the seven or eight workers, who will each be roughly £5.5million better off, were unaware of their windfall until they arrived at work this morning. One worker told the Echo: "You can only imagine what it was like when it dawned on them. I've heard they just went mad - screaming and shouting."
The identity of the other winner of half the £91 million total jackpot has not yet been revealed.

Loblaw Gears Up For Price War As Profits Plunge
The head of Canada's largest grocer says it's prepared to duke it out in a price war with its rivals in order to stay competitive in a low-inflation environment.
"Price wars are generally not something that we look forward to but we will certainly be ready if the marketplace heats up,'' said Galen G. Weston, president at Loblaw Companies Ltd., during a call with analysts Wednesday.
Weston said the company, which owns various banners including Loblaws, No Frills, Real Canadian Superstore and Shoppers Drug Mart, is actively fighting back against rising food prices by going straight to their suppliers.

"After two years of over $1 billion in cost increases from our largest suppliers and related higher retail prices across the country, we have asked this group to support us in our initiative to lower prices for our customers,'' he said.
Earlier this month, Loblaw sent a letter to its suppliers notifying them it will be applying an automatic 1.45 per cent price deduction on all shipments it receives beginning Sept. 4.
The letter also stated that the grocer will reject any future cost increases from suppliers unless they are related to higher input costs such as fuel charges or foreign exchange.
Additionally, the letter noted that Loblaw will assume that suppliers agree to the price decrease if the shipments continue past this deadline.

A company spokesman would not comment on whether the grocery owner has received any type of response.
During the call, Weston said Loblaw will ``invest'' the savings back into the customer, but would not elaborate if this means customers will necessarily see lower food prices at its supermarkets.
"We think we're competitively a very potent organization. We believe that we have formats that are uniquely well-positioned in each of the core markets and that when we make investments, we'll make them in places that will deliver a sustainable advantage versus our competitors,'' he said.

Last week, Statistics Canada reported that inflation for food softened to 1.3 per cent in June, after being above three per cent for 18 straight months prior to May. This was highlighted earlier this year when customers were shocked to see the price of cauliflower spike towards $10 per head.
Loblaw said for it to continue to deliver earnings growth, it needs to increase sales volume as competition heats up among traditional grocers like Metro and Sobey's, and big-box retailers like Costco and Walmart.
On Wednesday, the company reported that its net profit dropped by nearly 15 per cent in the second quarter from a year earlier, even though it had higher revenue.
Loblaw's net income was $158 million or 39 cents per share for the period ended June 18. That's down from $185 million or 44 cents per share a year ago. It attributed the reduced profit to higher interest expenses and financing charges.

However, its overall revenue was up $196 million or two per cent, rising to $10.7 billion from $10.5 billion a year earlier.
Notably, revenue grew faster at Shoppers Drug Mart owing to success from increased food offerings in its drugstores. The chain also continued to benefit from its health, beauty and cosmetics divisions, and from the Canadian departure of U.S. retailer Target last year.
Loblaw also said it's still looking for a buyer for its network of 212 gasoline-filling stations, which were put up for sale in May, but would only sell if the price was right.
Also on HuffPost:
Whenever we walk into a pastry shop and breathe in the scent of loaves fresh from the oven, we have trouble thinking clearly. But if the mission is "buy sandwich bread," it's worth remembering this: A loaf of already-sliced whole wheat is not the goal. "Every minute that fresh bread is exposed to air, it becomes more stale and less delicious," writes Dan Pashman in his book Eat More Better. So while a professional-grade machine may do a bang-up job turning out uniform slices, unless you're planning to eat them all within an hour, you're better off buying a loaf intact. It will increase the life span by reducing what Pashman calls "SATVOR" (surface-area-to-volume ratio). Once you're home, wrap the bread tightly in plastic, place it in a resealable plastic bag and store it in the freezer. When you want to eat it, remove the loaf, unwrap it and microwave it on a regular setting just long enough to defrost the outermost portions. Use a serrated bread knife and saw through (partially frozen bread = more even slices).
A gorgeous yet mealy apple is one of life's greatest small disappointments -- and puzzles: How can something so perfect-looking taste so awful? While it's impossible to guarantee a crisp, juicy fruit (you can forget looks; misshapen apples can taste just fine), there's one indicator you can usually rely on: The sound you hear when you tap the side of the apple with a finger. Good apples should sound hollow; bad ones will often sound dense. But if you do wind up with a mealy apple, one way to rescue it is to turn it into applesauce.
When you shop for beef at the supermarket, you're probably choosing between "prime" (lots of marbling, aka fat), "choice" (somewhat less marbling) and "select" (leaner, so not as juicy). All of these grades are perfectly acceptable, provided you cook them in a suitable way. However, if you see a package of beef simply labeled "USDA graded," steer clear. This description tells you nothing about the meat's quality (and actually applies to 94 percent of beef sold in the U.S.).
We're all for seeking out bargains, but slashed prices on certain items can raise a red flag. One biggie is seafood; the FDA has received numerous reports lately of fish fraud, where a store will substitute a less expensive fish for a more expensive kind (e.g., tilapia for red snapper, farmed salmon for wild or Vietnamese catfish for grouper). It can be tricky to spot fake seafood, especially if you don't buy it often. The best tactic is to know ahead of time about how much the fish you want should cost (walk past the seafood counter every time you're in the store, even if you're not buying, to eyeball the prices). Also, have some idea of different fishes' high seasons (e.g., wild salmon from Alaska can't be fresh in the winter); here's a handy chart.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - August 3, 2011, New Braunfels, Texas Former Nebraska star Ndamukong Suh will watch his Huskers make the switch to the Big Ten this season.

I lie Big l('n gets a valu-ahl(' national brand in the ('ornhuskers, one that gives the (onterenc e leverage in tuture television riglits negotiations.

Five national championships and a coast'to-coast tan tollowing made Ne'Ixaska extremelv attrae tive to De'lany and the many millions watching on ABC /ESPN and the Big Ten Netwe>rk. "I we)uld assume that it wc' didn't have a good tootball tradition that we )robabiy wouldn't have ')e(*n invitenl," Nebraska athletic director Tom ()sborne said.

They miss out on pla\ ing two ot th(' three teams with losing records last se*ase)n. It the Husk(*rs can win 10 games tor the third sea-se>n in a row, it would be a marvc'lous accom()iish-ment, Osborne said, "It's one ot the tougher sche*dules we've had in a long time," he said. Game days at Nc'braska are like those at other Big Ten venues, with the- large crowcfs, tailgating and other traditions. Delany said Nel)raska tans will teel comtortable at places such as Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and VVisconsin. "I think the'y'll tee'l they came home in some ways," Delany said. Nebraska ne'ver te'lt at home in the Big 12 Oslx)rne has said as much. The perception in Nel)raska was that lexas held too much political control from Day 1, Th(' purpose of the' Big Fight Southwest ('onte'r-enee merger, announe{'fl in 19')4 and etie'ctive' in I9')(), was to cash iti on me reasing tele'vision rights tees.

Ni'br.iska look it as a sign ol things to come whi'n Steve Hatchell, the SW( cofTimissioner, was named the iirst commissioner ot the Big 12 and Dallas was picked over Kansas Cjt\ as league heackjuarters. Nebraska wantenl to ce)ntinue accepting an unlimited number ol partial aeade*mic (jualitiers, as allowe'd by Big Fight rules, but that policy wasn't i ar-ried over to the Big 12 largely bc'cause ot Texas' opposition.

I was raised and educated in Northern California and trained in the Bay
Area before moving to Eugene in the late 70's.
And I've been here ever since.
After supervising the
Clinical Laboratory for a local hospital for many years, I spent some years
travelling around Oregon as a Laboratory Consultant. A love for microbiology brought me back into
the laboratory with Public Health, and for a number of years, I split my time
between that and part-time work here at the University Health Center. In 1998,
the Health Center made me an offer I couldn't refuse, and I've been at the
microscopes here ever since. In 2004, I
accepted the position of Laboratory Manager / Clinical Laboratory Supervisor.
Undergraduate: Vanderbilt University, B.E. Chemical Engineering
Graduate: Alabama School of Medicine
Certificates: Board Certified Family Medicine (American Board of Family Medicine, ACLS)
Relevant Work Experience
Alabama Eye and Tissue Bank – harvested corneas from donors (cadavers) for transplant.
University of New Mexico Hospital/Family Medicine (Albuquerque) – residency. Indian Health Service – New Mexico and Arizona working with Apache, Navajo, Zuni, Hopi, Southern Utes, and multiple Rio Grande Valley pueblo tribes.
San Pedro Sula, Honduras – cervical and breast cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment.
Panama City, Panama – national health care (pediatrics).
Prince of Wales Island and Juneau, AK – working with Tlinglit and Haida Native American patients.
Hawaii – working with Pacific Rim and native Hawaiians along with Latino, European, North and South Pacific Islander patients.
New Zealand – rural general practitioner.
I enjoy the spectrum of primary care medicine. I'm interested in getting my patients and myself to think about our health and how our lives can affect the lives of others.
My personal interests are soccer, swimming, spending time with my wife and kids, live music, and hiking.

I just came back from a trip to Scandinavia and fell in love with the brown
semi-soft brown goat cheese that is very popular in Norway. I believe it is
called Gjetost. Does anyone know if it's available anywhere on the Peninsula, or even in San Francisco?
I see that I can get it online from igourmet.com, but I'd rather buy it locally if it's available.

Foxconn gets to Work Early on Complicated iPhone 7
Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn is ramping up earlier than usual for the next wave of iPhone production, and it looks like device assembly is going to be even more complicated. Workers reportedly need more training to put the smartphone's components together, so hiring started early to meet Apple's expected September launch window.

BLANKET DISCLAIMER: Because sometimes I forget to post individual disclaimers with each story. It's safe to say that any story I post here is based of characters, series, plots, and/or worlds that are not mine, and I am making no profit off of them. These stories are for the enjoyment of myself and others, and to practice my writing so that some day I will be talented enough to create and publish worlds of my own. I extend my thanks and respect to all the original creators to anything I post herein, and hope they know how much I appreciate them and intend no disrespect with my stories. That is all.
I love to write and I want to be a novelist, so constructive criticism, reviews, and praise are all welcome--as are ideas that maybe you want something to happen. While I mostly write oneshots, I've started a few series. I try my best, but I'm pretty irregular in my updates. Pester me, and I'll probably go faster, but otherwise I work at my leisure. Unless specifically marked "complete" (and, honestly, sometimes even then--I have a bad habit of doing unplanned sequels...) all series are ongoing. I would also like to warn you ahead of time that I tend to use OCs in everything, unless otherwise stated. I do not write smut.
For those of you who are interested, I have a Tumblr blog by the same name, as well as an AO3 account mostly dedicated to reader inserts.
Current Projects (07/07/16)
Losing the Wonder - Chapter 24 sits, waiting for its creator to get back to work.
Of Death and Discovery - Stuck on a few details, my bad.
In Blood and Fire - Expect me to be as slow as usual.

HM: MFoMT - APbandoned as well, as I'm not sure where I was going with this anymore...
Origins - Abandoned number three.
War Torn - Abandoned number four. This is what happens when I write things without thinking of a plot first...

3 Takeaways From Yum Brands (NYSE:YUM) Q4 2015 Earnings
- Yum! Brands beats earnings estimates for Q4 2015.
- Pizza Hut was a weakness while Taco Bell performed well in 2015.
- Yum! Brands' profitability and free cash flow improved in 2015.
On 3 Feb 2016, global restaurant conglomerate Yum Brands (NYSE: YUM) came out with its Q4 FY 2015 earnings report. Earnings per share, excluding special items, came in at $0.68 exceeding expectations. As expected, Pizza Hut served as a weakness while Taco Bell blew it out of the water. The strong dollar reared its ugly head as a headwind, and management discussed the significance of Yum China. However, Yum Brands ended 2015 on an ok note.
Consumers Want Value
As anticipated, the Pizza Hut brand served as Yum! Brands' greatest weakness in the most recent quarter, as well as for the full year (see table below), in terms of same store sales. By contrast, Taco Bell served as the company's greatest strength outside of China. The reason for this is simple, consumers in softening economies such as China want value and pizza is simply perceived as a luxury they could do without. On the other hand, Taco Bell, which offers five items for $4, appeals to global consumers who want to get the greatest bang for their buck.

|Pizza Hut Casual Dining within China Division

|KFC Division within China Division
Source: SEC Filings
Strong Dollar Had An Effect
The strong dollar had a negative effect on many global multinational companies and Yum Brands was no different. In the most recent quarter, foreign currency translations negatively impacted EPS growth by 6% and sliced off $37 million from its reported operating income line. For the full year, the strong dollar lopped off $107 million of Yum Brands' reported operating income.
Solid Fundamentals In 2015
Yum! Brands had an ok year in 2015. Overall, its reported revenue declined 1.3% YoY. However, its net income and free cash flow increased 23% and 15% YoY, respectively, which is amazing considering the currency and macroeconomic headwinds the company faced last year. Margin expansion gives an indication of cost reduction and improvements in productivity, serving as a catalyst for net income improvement. Moreover, a 6% YoY reduction in capital expenditures contributed to the expansion in free cash flow.
In 2015, Yum Brands' long-term debt declined 0.7% YoY to $3.05 billion, down from $3.07 billion in 2014. Times interest earned improved to 14 in 2015 versus 12 in 2014, meaning that Yum Brands sports a high margin of safety when it comes to interest coverage. However, the company wants to issue debt in the near future to pay for capital return initiatives. Yum China will remain light on the leverage front. Investors may want to keep an eye on this and weigh accordingly when developing an investment strategy with Yum Brands/Yum! China as the spinoff approaches.
Yum Brands' dividend remains in solid shape. In 2015, the company paid out 63% of its free cash flow in dividends. Currently, the company pays its shareholders $1.84 per share per year and yields 2.3% annually.
Looking ahead
Yum! Brands plans to slow down the pace of openings in China for 2016, opening 600 outlets versus 743 in 2015. Also, the company wants to provide value to its customers by expanding the use of box meals throughout the globe and introducing new products to increase customer excitement. Keeping costs under control remains a focus for the company. Yum Brands' management seems committed to building its brands and maintaining financial discipline while returning capital to shareholders. As long as they can do this Yum Brands stock deserves a spot in your portfolio.

wikiHow to Make Semolina Kesari (Rava Kesari)
Semolina kesari, or saffron semolina, is a tasty sweet treat from south Indian cuisine. It is based on semolina to which cashew nuts and almonds are added, and it is enhanced by the beautiful colouring of saffron. It is easy to make and is a good, quick dessert dish for the end of your Indian meal.
- 250g semolina
- 250g sugar
- 1 tablespoon kesar (saffron)
- 50ml ghee
- 1 tablespoon cardamom powder
- 25g cashew nuts, chopped
- 25g almonds, chopped
- 2 cups (250mls) water by total 500 mls.
1Place the heavy-based saucepan onto the stove top. Pour the water into the saucepan.
2Bring to the boil. Let it boil for 10 minutes.
3Add the sugar to the boiling water. Then add the kesar (saffron).
4Pour the ghee into a separate heavy based saucepan. Heat over a low flame or heat. A pleasant aroma will arise from the ghee.
5Add the chopped cashew nuts and almonds to the warmed ghee. Then add the semolina.
6Allow to roast gently for 2 minutes over the low flame/heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning or sticking.
7Transfer the roasted semolina mixture to the boiling saffron water in the first saucepan. Stir continuously over low flame/heat. Continue cooking until all of the water is absorbed into the semolina.
8Switch off the flame/heat source. The semolina kesari is now ready to dish up.
9Serve. Add a portion of the semolina kesari to each plate. Allow to stand for five minutes, then serve.
- Alternatively, place into one serving dish and allow diners to serve themselves.

I'm a young male in early twenties. Very clean, easy going, friendly guy. Work early hours of the morning in the Human Resources industry. Hardly home and usually at gym or with mates. I wakeboard, fish and surf.. Love the outdoors.
Welcoming and would make sure you feel comfortable and at home.
I'm fair with the cleaning around the house side of things and happy to compromise :)
Would like a respectful honest male/female studying working who is driven with goals.
