(AP Wirephoto) Marriage Business Booms an S.C. Areas DILLON, S. .C. (fl Marriage is a booming business in the South Carolina comrnunilies of .Dillon, Bennollsville and York.

They were sentenced to five years in prison and fined each, plus the cost of prosecution. The U.S. District Court jury acquitted John R.

County of- ficials say that more than persons are married each year In (he courthouse chapel, not including those who take out marriage licenses there or are married by ministers or magis- trates. The reason for the influx'of .young lovers is simple: The state's lenient marriage laws. Most of.those who. gel married are from North Carolina, but officials of the border towns are quick to boast lhat nearly every stale in the country is represented. South Carolina law requires .just a 24-hour waiting And with parental consent and court approval, a girl 14 can wed. In Bennellsville some marriage licenses are..issued each year.

Laird unveiled today plans to defend a. third U.S. missile base with Safeguard anliballislic missiles and lo prepare five other sites for possible later expansion o( (he system. The plans lay (he groundwork for the administration to buld at least two-third of a system lhat some members of Congve fear will become even more expensive. Laird, testifying before the Senate Armed Services Commit- tee, called it "the minimum we can do and must do" to defend against missiles of the Soviet Union and the emerging Red Chinese nuclear threat. The adminitratlon initialed the Safeguard system last year with defenses of two Air Force Minuteman bases at Malms- trom Air Force Bae in Mon- tana and Grand Forks Air Force Uasc in North Dakota. Under the latest expansion, which will involve annual spend- ing at this point of only 5920 mil- lion because of Ihc early slage, 30 Feared Dead in Avalanche RECKfNGEN, Switzerland (AP) An avalanche crashed through this sleeping village at dawn today and 30 persons were .feared dead. Seven bodies were recovered, but. 10 hours after the slide struck 23 persons were still list- ed as missing. Villagers said there Is "no hope" for those still buried. Many of the victims were Swiss army officers whose barracks was crushed by the masses of snow which piled up 30-feet high. They were atlachcd to a small antiaircraft unit stationed in the village. More than 20 pel-sons were dug out alive, but several were badly injured and in a critical condition. A storekeeper's wife, Mrs. Leo Mueller, said: "I didn't hear the slide. I was awakened by uproar and shouting Sri the, 1 thought someone had been celebrating. My husband and I rushed outside, and saw that the military barracks and seven houses had been razed. One of the barracks walls was over 200 yards away. "Two of I he houses were va- cation chalets, but only one was occupied. Fortunately the Siviss. .family in it was sleeping in the cellar and managed to get out. But the soldiers had no chance. of their bodies were de- capitated. There is no hope for the rest still under the they are all soldiers. A second avalanche hit the village a few hours lalor, destroying a Catho- lic chapel, but no one was in the vicinity." Hotel employe Ileinz Jerjen ;said: "I was awakened by a tre- mendous roaring sound. I knew right nway it was an avalanche and dived to the wall for cover but it did not reach the hotel." Five of the dead were identi- fied as two officers, two Women and a 12-year-old boy, all Swiss. They were found in their night clothes.

The Electric Alpine Railway, which runs along the Rhone Val- ley up to the Furka Pass, was knocked out by the slide and further avalanches blocked the road to Itcckingen which was scaled off at the village of Ficsch, 10 miles nway. Residents of the locally named Corns Valley said there had been no avalanche in the region for over a century. There were other slides throughout the Swiss Alps, but none fatal. The Swiss Federal Avalanche Institute in Davos said there is still "great danger" as huge masses of wet snow continued lo overhang Ihc slopes during ris- ing temperatures. It recommend- ed the evacuation of buildings an dthe closure of roads in areas which arc particularly men- aced. Court Allows Ruling Against California's Abortion Law WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court let stand today a decision by California's su- preme court that the state's abortion law is unconstitutional. The U.S. high court made no comment as it-rejected an ap- peal by California Atty. Gen. Thomas C. Lynch from the 4-3 decision. The law had prohibited medi- cal abortions except when "nec- essary to preserve" the expect- ant mother's life. Violators were subject to two lo five years in prison. The California court ruled the phrase "necessary to preserve" was too vague for a-physician to reasonably know when he was doing something illegal and when he was acting legally. The California majority also questioned whether a stale should interfere with a woman's "rights lo life and to choose whether lo bear children." The Supreme Court still has on its docket an appeal by the federal government lo revive the District of Columbia's abor- tion law, winch was struck down by a federal judge here. The California cnse involved prosecution of Dr. Leon Phillip Helous, a Beverly Hills gynecol- ogist who referred an unmar- ried young couple lo another physician for an abortion in 1966. lie was sentenced lo pro- bation. The California court threw out his conviction with ils ruling. California amended the 1B50 law'in 19C7 to provide for a sys- tem of hospital abortions in a range of situations! The amend- ment is not involved in the Be- lous case. Westmoreland Says Draft Dodgers Threat NEW YORK (AP) Gen. William C.

Why did the Huhbard Lake Water dlstrlcl hoard buy the old Kaly Railroad right of way in Albany a year or so ago for and (hen turn around and sell it, Inlerest-frce, (o an Albany real estate and Insurance man for The news story reported Ihe water district Is re- ceiving per year In rental from 13 business on Ihe properly, so It makes one wonder i( the taxpayers' Interests were considered In this action. A. Bob Spriiig'erv member of the West Cen- tral Texas Municipal Water District Board, explained the land was originally purchased In order to lay a water line for Albany. After the line was laid the Water District no long- er needed the land and since they're not in the real estate business, felt the wisest move would be to sell it. The sale advertiser! In four newspapers in the area. Two bids were received, one for the other for (lo be paid as follows; and four annual payments of and no interest .was included in the bid. The board felt the highest bid was adequate so accepted it, Springer said._The water board kept a '50-foot construction easement and a 25-foot maintenance easement on the properly, which decreased the value of the land as no permanent structure can be built over the line, Springer says.

The organization offers intelligent people contact with other good minds, they often offer their services lo groups needing help wilh problems. Mensa is the Latin word for (able. It's a round (able society and topics range from ESP to cave exploration, Q. .Could you (ell me If a dog can sec television? I've heard they cannot, thai It's Ihc noise (hat makes them look at (he TV. I believe they can. A. Most veterinarians will agree wilh you, since a dog has vision there's no reason why he can't see TV programs. However, a dog's eyesight is quite blurred and his eyes don't focus real well. Dogs can see figures in motion on the screen, but can't follow the trend of the story. _'.A dog's vision is comparable lo a'near-sighted person without glasses. Whether they can see color TV is debatable; many veterinarians feel dogs are color blind. Q. For Iwo years I have been driving past Ihe American Mod Co. on N. Tread away .and wondering exactly what Its product Is. Docs anyone actually bay mud? A. Not the dirt and water variety you're thinking of. This mud Is a drilling product used in drilling oil wells. It's a lubricant for the bit and enables the drill pipe to go in and out of. the hole. It protects the well bore and Ihe pay zone (where the oil sand is) according to Walter Rineharl, president of the American Mud Co. Q. I'm wondering why we Abllenlans arc so careless and thoughtless ahout tossing litter onl on the streets. Don't we have any antl-lllter laws? If so, why ilon't we enforce them? I'll hct you don't print (his because I've never heard of anyone gelling fined here for littering and I'll hcl you haven't either! A. Stale laws prohibit littering of roads, highways and parking areas, but Police Chief Warren Dodson says it would lake a lot more policemen than he has on his force to patrol all the parking areas, so people rlo gel by wilh littering. However, if it comes to the attention of Ihe police, if a complaint is made or an officer sees an offender, this law is enforced, he says.

EUR/USD Current Price: 1.4715
FXstreet.com (Buenos Aires) - EUR/USD Current Price: 1.4715. Supported by gold prices, pair reached the 1.4760 area, before retreating to current zone. With indicators flat in the hourly chart, and 20 SMA losing bullish momentum, pair is still not ready for a downside corrective movement.
4 hours charts also seem exhausted, still price action is not quite in line with technical, so pair will need to confirm under 1.4680 support to start the downside movement, that could extend to 1.4650 and then 1.4620 without harming current trend. Only clearly under 1.4590, not seen at this point, pair could change bias, said Valeria Bednarik, collaborator at FXstreet.com.
Support levels: 1.4680 1.4650 1.4620. Resistance levels: 1.4750 1.4785 1.4810.

Day 8: First Week Recap
I am writing this post on my phone sitting in a bunk of a church hostel with no phone service, so this will be posted whenever I get service again. Church hostel you ask? That will be the topic of the next post. I had never been afraid of or chased by dogs before and I thought Bicycle Bill was being a bit melodramatic to be so concerned. Turns out he was right. I got chased 2 days ago, and then twice today, where the dog physically ran into the street ...

Nashville to Wytheville
Yesterday was a driving day, we set off from Nashville and other than a stop for lunch when we stopped at a park and played football or frisbee we drove for most of the day and went to Virginia. The drive was very pretty, the countryside has started to look more and more like the UK, lots of trees, fields and rolling hills. It has also got much cooler which is great as well. The campsite last night was lovely, had a nice swim and a relax and made ...
Waterfalls, part 3
Despite our best intentions, we had a slow start to the day. We got up a bit later than planned and took our time getting packed and ready to go. After a quick stop for some breakfast we headed back into the mountains to catch some more waterfalls.
First stop was Looking Glass Falls which was a fairly good waterfall that fell into a very inviting pool at the bottom. Damien was tempted but thought it was a little early for a dip. Next stop was Daniel Ridge falls that was a little off ...

Hard question to answer as really, almost anything would be great depending on what they like, what prior experience they have with live theatre, etc. Have they already seen touring productions of Phantom, Chicago or Mamma Mia? Those shows have been running for a long time for a reason. Don't rule out Lion King or Wicked for either teen-they are both terrific shows that are not just for kids. Good friend of mine-a high school senior- just got back from seeing Once and loved it (I did as well). It has a "newer" feel and hasn't toured yet so they'd be cutting edge. Same of course with Book of Mormon. I've not seen spiderman so won't comment there. And I'm making the assumption that by Broadway you mean musicals. But if that isn't the case then look at a listing of plays too. The ones I'd suggest now all seem to be closing in feb/mar, so you may want to wait a bit to see what's opening. As for me-my daughter and I are thrilled to be seeing Matilda (based on the Roald Dahl book) when we go in March. But it hasn't opened yet so be aware that you might not like what the reviews have to say - we personally aren't worried and already have tickets, but t would be a lot of money to spend if it turned out to not be what you thought.

Buy discount tickets in advance at broadwaybox.com. You will have a better choice of seats and a better change of getting 4 together if that's what you want. And why waste and hour standing on line while you're here.
As for what shows - what have they seen? Are you looking for great dance? Or an extravaganza? Or ????
All would love Book of Mormon - but tickets may still be big $.
I, personally think Lion King is for little kids - but I know others disagree (I must admit I don't get Disney at all.)
Report Abuse
First, let me correct a possible misleading statement of the previous poster, who says, "The ones I'd suggest now all seem to be closing in feb/mar." I don't know what he/she was referring to, but the only musicals that I know of that are closing before the OP's visit are The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Mary Poppins. So, actually, all the shows he/she mentions will still be playing.
There are many "appropriate" shows currently for teenagers. If you're looking bargains, then start by checking out the discount offers on broadwaybox.com and playbill.com. You're better off using that route for discounts rather than TKTS. The price is often not that much different, and you save a lot time by not having to wait in line at TKTS.
Suggestions? It's hard to make them without know more about the tastes of your teenagers. I'll make a start, however--for her: Wicked; for him: Spider Man. Discounts are available for Spider Man, but not for Wicked.
Report Abuse
Actually - I was saying if they also wanted to look at plays (as opposed to musicals) then to look at a listing of what is playing/coming. The straight plays that I would suggest for now would be Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf, The Heiress - looks like these are closing soon. I didn't want to assume that the OP only meant to look for musicals. And I will disagree on only recommending Wicked for the daughter. my then-teenage son really enjoyed it. And I know he'd love to see Matilda (now, at the age of 23) being a Roald Dahl fan.
Report Abuse
First all, I don't think that those three dramas would be that appealing to teenagers, especially when compared to the available musicals.
Further, I wasn't only recommending Wicked. I just think it's a good starting point for a teenage girl. (And, this comes from someone who did NOT like Wicked!)
Before I add any recommendations, I'd certainly would want to know at least a little more about the tastes of the teenagers.
Report Abuse
Newsies, Once, Pippin, Kinky Boots are some ideas. Playbill.com has a list of what's on and discounts. Didhelikeit.com will gove you vritics reviews of things already open.
Report Abuse
You could always live in the moment and get on line at the TDF TKTs Booth in Times Square when you get there- get discount tickets for the same day show. My teenagers always enjoyed chatting with the others on line (we always get lots of tips from tourists and locals alike on the line),finding themselves on the overhead display (overhead cameras take live pictures and project them on impossible large screens) and watching the Naked Cowboy. There are always tickets available for a variety of shows. http://www.tdf.org

Blackshaw is a predominantly rural South Pennine Parish within the area of Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council and is a part of the Calder Valley Parliamentary Constituency. The bulk of the Parish is part of the Calder Terrace moorland fringe and upland pasture framed by the moorland tops, Noah Dale, the wooded Colden and Jumble Hole Cloughs and crossed by the Pennine Way. The Parish stretches from the valley settlement of Charlestown on the busy A646 between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden to the high moorland plateau on the border with Lancashire at Hoof Stones Height (479 metres high). The upland settlement of Blackshaw Head sits on the ancient trans-Pennine "Long Causeway" 12 miles from Halifax and 7 miles from Burnley. The 2011 census estimated a population of 963 in the parish for mid 2010.
Saturday 3rd September saw the annual village fete. Wetter than we would have liked but we carried on regardless. The 2016 fete report is on-line.
The Parish has one Chapel, Blackshaw Head Chapel, and one public house The New Delight at Jack Bridge.
The area is served by two primary schools, Colden Junior and Infants and Hebden Royd, both of which are just outside the Parish Boundary.
The only shop in the parish is Great Rock Co-op, selling local farm foods on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. May's shop at Height Gate Farm on Edge Lane Colden close to the parish boundary is open daily early til late and providing snacks and hot drinks. The closest Post Office is in Heptonstall.

By IVES GALARCEP
In what is becoming a recurring theme with the New York Red Bulls, just when they look like they have their guy, something goes wrong and the team is left scrambling.
Just a week after sources told SBI that the Red Bulls and Paulo Sousa had reached an agreement to make Sousa the team's new head coach, a fresh report out of Portugal states that Sousa has decided to pass on the job after initially leaving his head coaching job with Hungarian side Videoton expressly to take the New York job.
One source with knowledge of the coaching search said that Sousa's hiring will not happen know, though it remains unclear just what went wrong in the days since Sousa initially agreed to take the position.
It remains unclear just what has happened with the process to hire a head coach, but this latest development comes on the heals of Claudio Reyna turning down the Red Bulls' offer of being the team's lead assistant coach. It is believed the team wanted to have both head coach and assistant coach in place before making an announcement, but Reyna's delay in making a decision, coupled with his ultimate decision to pass on the assistant coaching role, appears to have soured Sousa on joining the Red Bulls as well.
Now the Red Bulls are in training camp without a head coach or lead assistant, with Mike Petke serving as the interim coach while New York sorts out the situation (marking the first time in MLS history a team has gone into training camp without a head coach hired). Sources tell SBI that the team has been interviewing candidates for the assistant coaching opening, but now the team is once again on the search for a head coach.
The Red Bulls had appeared to be leaning toward hiring a foreign head coach, with an American assistant coach, but after passing on Gary McAllister and now having seemingly been snubbed by Sousa, the Red Bulls may have no choice but to dip into a deep pool of experienced former MLS coaches currently available. A pool that includes Jesse Marsch, Robin Fraser, Preki and Denis Hamlett to name a few.
The Red Bulls could now be forced to consider making Petke the team's permanent head coach. Though he has no previous head coaching experience, Petke has the standing within the organization, and the respect of the fan base, to be well received as a coaching hire. If Sousa has, in fact, walked away from the Red Bulls, the team may have no choice but to hand the team over to Petke.
The drawn-out coaching search has soured what has actually been a good off-season for the Red Bulls in terms of rebuilding the squad. The departure of Rafa Marquez and acquisitions of Juninho Pernambucano, Jamison Olave and Fabian Espindola to name a few has the Red Bulls looking poised to be a stronger team in 2013. The only problem is they do not have a coach yet and the season is due to kick off in less than six week with the Red Bulls traveling to Portland on March 3rd.
What do you think of this situation? Who do you think the Red Bulls should hire? Have you ever heard of a team heading into pre-season camp without a coach in place? Think Petke could be a good head coach?
Share your thoughts below.
LOL! "Just what went wrong" was Sousa probably got wind of what RBNY is actually like — a cleanup and restoration job that not even ServPro would touch!
smart hire would be ferdi dimatthaeis.. former cosmo player italian coach, knows MLS and current coach atIMG
Nigel Adkins. Solved.
Funny how only a few have mentioned Tab Ramos who I think will eventually lead this club and could be called in now, let's just wait and see. I'd love to see Petke but he said himself he's not ready so let that one go for now.
Arnie Ramirez!
Michael F. SBI Mafia Original
Ives, why is Steve Nichols name not being mentioned? He would be the perfect fit, IMHO.
Last report is that the RedBulls Front Office are trolling the EA Sports servers & collecting a list of candidates from people who are doing well in manger mode in FIFA13 🙂
They should hire me then.With NYRB I've managed in 2 and a half years to bring Holden, Matic, Fabian Johnson, Bunbury, Wondolowski, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Wellington Silva, Joseph Gyau, Robbie Rogers, and Victor Wanyama to NY. Meanwhile, having won 2 MLS Cups, a Supporter's Shield and a US Open Cup. I have my sights set on binging Michael Bradley back to the club as well.
they have made it really hard to be a fan, ever since the opener in 1996 and the own goal by Caricola

Margao, Jan 16 (UNI) Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Priya ranjan Dasmunsi, who is also the president of All India Football Federation (AIFF), today kicked off the Nike-Manchester United Premier Cup (MUPC) U-15 India final round 2008 at Nehru Stadium in Fatorda in south Goa.
After announcing the final round open, Mr Dasmunshi said, ''Our partnership with Nike has resulted in fueling a passion for the sport amongst the immense pool of young talent in the country. Such events help to elevate the game at the grassroot level and take it to the highest standards.'' ''This was only a three-year contract, the AIFF will urge Nike to extend it to a longer period for the development of the game,'' Mr Dasmunshi added.
The Nike-MUPC tournament, in its third year, saw the participation of over fifty U-15 football teams from across the country making the tournament extremely competitive. Eight teams have now reached the India final round, which will begin at Duler Football Stadium in Goa from January 17 to 20.
In the India final round, the eight teams are divided into two groups, with the first group consisting of Salgaocar, Cosemos Football Academy, SSA Football Academy Mizoram and St Joseph Football Academy. The second group consists of East Bengal FC, SBHS Football Academy, Mahindra United Football Club and Sporting Club De Goa.
The winners of the India final round will be flown to South-East Asia to participate in the South-East Asian regional finals to be held in May at Kaula Lumpur in Malaysia.
The Nike India Marketing Director said, ''The Nike-MUPC tournament is a testimony to our commitment towards elevating the football in the country. We are encouraged by the growing participation in this tournament each year and are committed to make this tournament a truly enriching experience for the young footballer.'' Later in the exhibition match played at Nehru Stadium, Mahindra United defeated East Bengal by 4-2.

The Deputy Prime Minister will tell the Liberal Democrat conference that £50 million of Pupil Premium cash will be devoted to getting up to 100,000 pupils from deprived backgrounds on the two-week courses.
He will highlight the plan as part of a personal "charge for social mobility" in a bid to reassure activists that Liberal Democrat values have survived joining the Tory-led Government.
Closing an annual gathering punctuated by increasingly vocal attacks on coalition colleagues by senior figures, Mr Clegg will say he is battling "those who do so well out of the status quo".
And he will make a point of citing efforts to "break open internships" - an area in which he and Prime Minister David Cameron have expressed highly contradictory views.
Party president Tim Farron, who has refused to rule out a future leadership bid, won a standing ovation earlier this week for warning sharing power with the Tories had "tainted" the party.
Mr Clegg however has urged grassroots members to "stop beating themselves up" about the move and focus instead on the potential for stamping Lib Dem influence on Government policy.
In his keynote speech, he will tell them that fairness remains what he "cares most about" and pledge to fight for it despite backing the Conservatives' drastic cuts and austerity measures.
"People keep telling me that it's too hard. That it's futile to push for fairness into the headwinds of an economic downturn, or that it will just take too long and I should find some politically convenient 'quick wins' instead," he will tell the annual gathering in Birmingham.
"I've also encountered fierce resistance from those who do so well out of the status quo. But for liberals the only struggles worth having are the uphill ones.
"Allowing schools to put poorer children at the front of the queue for admissions. Making universities open their doors to everyone. Making firms work harder to get women on their boards. Breaking open internships."
In April Mr Cameron appeared to directly counter a call by Mr Clegg for more meritocratic placements when he said he was "very relaxed" about giving work experience to friends.
Setting out the summer school plans, Mr Clegg will play to Lib Dem emotions by pinning some of the blame for the summer's rioting and looting on failures in the education system.
Too many of the young people who ended up going off the rails had "fallen through the cracks" - often at the point that they moved up from primary to secondary school, he will suggest.
"Too many of these young people had simply fallen through the cracks. Not just this summer but many summers ago when they lost touch with their own future.
"So often the people who have gone off the rails are the ones who were struggling years earlier. Not least in making that critical leap from primary to secondary school.
"We know this is a time when too many children lose their way, so this is a £50m investment to keep them all on the right path."
Although schools will not be forced to put on summer schools, any that do not will lose part of their share of Pupil Premium cash - worth a total of £2.5 billion a year by 2015.
Aides said the format of the courses would be left to schools but could include remedial classes in core subjects, social activities and sports-based work.
It was open to headteachers to open them to better-off pupils, they said, although Pupil Premium funds are allocated on the basis of the number of poorer children on the roll.
Mr Clegg will also use his speech to launch a strongly-worded attack on Labour over the party's reliance on trade union funding - and also criticise the Tories over party funding.
He will dismiss as "risible" Ed Miliband's pledge to take on "vested interests" and challenge the Labour leader to "put his money where his mouth is" by accepting party funding reforms.
Next week's Labour conference will consider a reform championed by Mr Miliband, who was elected party leader on the back of union votes, which will water down their influence.
While Mr Clegg will aim to avoid further antagonising the unions by insisting their values are "as relevant as ever" he will say they cannot be allowed "to buy themselves a political party".
"Ed Miliband says he wants to loosen the ties between his party and the union barons who helped him beat his brother. Let's see him put his money where his mouth is," he will say.
"Let's see if he'll support radical reform of party funding. Every previous attempt has been blocked by the vested interests in the other two parties."
Mr Clegg's speech comes as Conservative backbenchers hit back at claims made by Energy Secretary Chris Huhne that they were putting Britain's recovery in peril.
The Liberal Democrat cabinet minister used his keynote conference speech to savage hard right Tories by lumping them in with the "mad cap" American Tea Party.
He claimed Tories who "slaver over tax cuts for the rich" and failed to make compromises would "wreck the nation's economy".
But Tory Peter Bone accused Mr Huhne of positioning himself for a leadership bid and said the comments demonstrated how "batty" the Lib Dems could be.
And Mark Pritchard, secretary of the influential Tory backbench 1922 committee, said: "After the next election, I suspect many senior Lib Dems will find time on their hands to hold their very own tea parties."

Chinese Mudman Standing Fisherman With Hat And Fish Basket Circa 1930
This standing fisherman is glazed in Blue, Green and Brown. He is standing on a well-defined rocky outcrop. He is holding his hat and is next to his fish basket.
He stands 4 and 3/4 inches tall.
Circa 1930.
He is in Very Good Condition with only the tiniest flea bit on the side of the base and with the usual roughness on bottom. The overall condition is better than you would expect from an object of substantial age that has been displayed/handled/used, usually over the lifetimes of several owners.
This is part of the fabulous collection of 144 vintage and antique mudmen I have just purchased, that had been lovingly collected over many decades. I purchased all 144 pieces, all in Very Good to Excellent Condition. I will be listing all of them, and of course will consider a reduced price if one were to purchase all or a large number of them.

The people, who are calling depression and a prolonged bear market, do not belong in the same class of investors as the great Warren Buffett.
Looking at the latest annual report of Berkshire Hathaway, page 16, I find the following:
"The second category of contracts involves various put options we have sold on four stock indices (S&P 500 plus three foreign indices). These puts had original terms of either 15 or 20 years and were struck at the market. We have received premiums of $4.5b, and we recorded a liability at
year end of $4.6b. The puts in these contracts are exercisable
Buy ! only at their expiration dates, which occur between 2019 and 2027, and Berkshire will then
need to make a payment only if the index in question is quoted at a level below that existing on
the day that the put was written. Again, I believe these contracts, in aggregate, will be profitable."
Do you think Buffett would be wrong? Do you think there would be a decoupling between US and other markets?
If you had been advising clients to short the markets, I suggest you eat humble pie and tell
them you made a mistake. Otherwise, you will be eating humble pie all be yourself – NO CLIENTS!
Last Friday, an important index made a very important move. Two moving-averages are
about to cross. This is as important as the yield adjusted 13-26 week cross for Gold at
$625 - just before it went on to >$1000. The Dow Jones Transportation Index 50-day SMA hit 4751.66 and the 200-day SMA hit 4773.55. At the present 5100, it only takes 3 days for the MAs to cross. 50 days ago, this index was 4500 while 200 days ago, it was 4800. The reverse cross-over was last September.

I joined this site ages ago and forgot about it. Now I'm back I've been writing solo, but I want to join up with other writers and make the scariest, most thrilling horror story on Protagonise. I'm talking UBER SCARY! I want a story that would leave Darren Shan in the dust and Stephen King frozen with fright. But I need your help. I've never done a group story before and without you guys it wouldn't be much of a group story. Anyone up for the challenge? Go on, I dare ya...
Well, that depends. What exactly do you want the story to be about?
Well, I haven't wrote horror before, but I'm sure if someone starts I can pick it up and join you guys.
I still have to write the rules, but I've made the 2nd chapter split into 3. That gives you a chance to start 3 different horror stories. Be warned though, people can add a new path and your story can split off into more than one direction.
I have done the 1st door. =)
I'm totally in

A resolution that would have been a first step toward members of the St. John Town Council becoming eligible for retirement benefits — a move residents called too costly — is being dropped, a council member said.
Earlier this month, the council proposed a resolution that would explore making the board's five members eligible for benefits through the Indiana State Retirement System, even potentially making those benefits retroactive to when they were first elected.
The council was preparing to vote on the resolution during its meeting Thursday night, but Councilman Mark Barenie, the board's vice president, said the exploratory measure will be dropped.

Just one minor criticism: the WiFi doesn't work under Win8.1. It worked fine under Win8.0, but there appears to be some kind of driver incompatibility. I haven't made huge efforts to chase down the underlying reasons (although I am using the latest version of the driver), because I prefer to hardwire desktop machines in any case. But it's a flaw that might put off some people.
All in all - ticks every box on my list!
Thanks Amazon
Highly recommended!

All this has been brought about by the collapse of energy giant Enron, where Andersen was auditor, and together they are a grisly reminder in this modern world of reputational risk.
Companies may lose a few million pounds - even a few hundred million - in the markets and as long as they can afford it they quickly shrug it off. But if they lose their reputation for probity or competence or simply find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, clients will desert in droves. If they ignore the problem, it multiplies. If they try to meet it head on, they need much more collective nerve and media savvy than is found in their in-house PR departments.
The brutal fact is that in this age of political correctness and rigid corporate governance it is simply too much hassle for clients and customers to hang around and see if the taint on a firm's reputation is justified. Client directors look down the track and see themselves being called to account for continuing to use the accused firm. It is not worth the risk to their reputation, so they cut loose.
In the City, investment banks and those like them spend tens of millions of pounds a year so that they know second-by-second what their operational, market and credit risks are in a hundred currencies in a hundred markets across equities, debt and derivatives. They show very little understanding, however, of the fact that if anything will sink them in this day and age it is a rogue employee or a rogue transaction.
Yet the causal connection is obvious. A damaged reputation leads to damaged confidence, and that is what sank Enron. Each week it had to renew its credit lines to support its massive pyramid of dealing, but no one would lend to it once confidence was shaken and the pyramid collapsed.
That is uncomfortably similar to how the investment banks behave. Each week they also roll over millions in the short-term markets and use it to support their mountains of own-account trading. There is absolutely no problem and they are doing nothing wrong. But were they too to suffer a collapse of confidence, for whatever reason, it could be quite a different story.
Huge imbalance
CAPITAL is still flowing out of the insurance business faster than it is going in. Today Royal & Sun-Alliance increased massively its provision for asbestos-related claims, wiping out what was left of a year's profits, having brought forward its triennial review of long-tail business because of the way the asbestos market was deteriorating.
Equitas, the Lloyd's re-insurance vehicle, signalled these problems before Christmas. After RSA, the rest of the industry is likely now to take a similar long, hard look.
The World Trade Centre also is a massive drain, possibly $50bn (£35.1bn) - but a much bigger strain comes from the worldwide collapse of stock markets. The loss of value on investments is many times more damaging to capital than the 11 September attacks.
There is therefore a huge supply-demand imbalance, made more acute by an upsurge in business because of the attacks. This imbalance could persist for years, bringing higher premiums and bigger profits for the non-life industry. Companies that can sort out the baggage of their past, be it asbestosis or anything else, are in for a good decade.
ONE of our leading civil servants mused the other day that people now take economic growth for granted. Voters used to think economic management was the big thing Government had to get right. Now that memories of economic bad times have largely faded, they have begun to focus on other things.
This is potentially disastrous for Government because delivery of services has become its number one preoccupation. Far from managing grand affairs of State, Government has been reduced to the role of service provider. Indeed, Labour's Spring Conference at the weekend seemed to talk of nothing else.
Government is ill-equipped for this work at the best of times because public services such as health, education and transport are simply too large and too complex to be run from the centre like some command and control economy. When the services are also under-resourced, demoralised and seething with resentment, the job becomes virtually impossible. Yet with failure will come more cynicism about Government, its broken promises and its inability to deliver.
Altogether, this is not at all healthy for democracy.Reuse content

in an attempt to get lost exploring the slippery realm of "just about nothing" i engage. observations, considerations and ponderances will be winds helping navigate nowhere in particular. documenting the void with writing and drawing is an offering to curiosity. this is a cheese product.
The slow deafening concussion of the plastic spoon against the ceramic mug was now more than I could bear. She did not stir her coffee ever. She just dragged the spoon from side to side dully clicking the insides of the mug. Complain and drag, complain and drag was her whole persistent part. She was an opera making its point in an endless parade of redundancies. I got up from the table and went into the garage. There i found the BB gun. Rusty and wearing abandoned webs like a shroud adorned with fragments of garage debris. The shroud hung down from the sights and trigger guard, flowing in an elastic ghostly swirl, gathering as I picked it up. It rattled a few remaining BBs as I pumped, and read Daisy. It reluctantly gained pressure enough to fire i thought. Aiming carefully I pulled the trigger and pelted the top of my left naked foot. Embedded just under the skin the BB quickly turned a dull blue as my shoulders quivered and i watched in unscreaming silence.
the museum
I visited The Art Institute of Chicago yesterday. I am reeling from it. I has been a while since I have seen such art. My reaction surprised me. I had an empathetic feeling with the art that was different than before. I was nearly moved to tears in front of VanGogh. I felt lonely, happy, primitive, secretive, transient, etc. as I walked the galleries, which seemed to go on forever. The museum refused to give me much of a break. I left after some hours, drained and inspired, to walk back to the hotel. I laid down in my room and have not been the same since.
ever find yourself where you weren't looking?
Welcome to Cosmic Pothole. Here I will likely get lost exploring the slippery realm of "just about nothing". Observations, considerations and good ole pondering will be the needles on my compass helping me navigate toward nowhere in particular. I may include some writing and artworks. For now I'm exploring this activity just for me, but you are welcomed to follow along and watch me whomp the potholes along the way.

You attempt to enter the mirror. You put your hand through. It works. It really works!
You put your leg through. Yep, just as you thought. Your leg went right through. You put your whole body through.
You look around. Everything looks the same, except it is from the other side. You look down on the ground. The mirror was a hologram!

Goodbye Poros....Hello Athens
... yachts. I especially like this photo.
At the risk of sounding greedy....I so want to come back and visit Poros and Sirene Blue some day. It's been sensational and refreshingly relaxing! Feel like I could have happily stayed another day or two but David feels happy and ready to move on to our next travel adventure.
At 11am we took a taxi into town and boarded the Hellenic 'Flying Dolphin' Cat. Boy it really does fly. We were back in Athens by ...
Leaving in plenty of time this morning, (thank goodness), to catch the airport shuttle we were reminded how flippant Italians can be with their directions. "Is justa down there" we were told as we pushed and pulled our luggage and poor Dean started losing all feeling in his fingers!! From the directions the BnB owner gave us we figured it was a 10-15 min walk but we arrived (me running) just in time to see the bus pull up at least ...

I was starting to really feel tired but wanted to get through. So we walked to the ruins and was amazing. So much history! Really spectacular to think this was built pretty much by hand also. We walked some more to locate ...

This is an amazing place and you can just imagine the spectacle those games must of been. We climbed the high steps to the top, before climbing back down, where Nicky finally found her throne to sit upon. There was a vaulted passaged to take which led to a small museum about the olympics and you ...
