It's been a rough year for the Miami Marlins, but unlike last season, expectations weren't high for Miami coming into this season. In the eighth inning of Friday's Marlins-Braves game, Giancarlo Stanton tagged up to go to second base on a fly out by Justin Ruggiano. Stanton didn't slide into second, and was tagged out on the play. Marlins color commentator Tommy Hutton, who forms one of the more underrated duos in the league with Rich Waltz, went absolutely nuclear on the Marlins star right fielder. Hutton was legitimately upset and yelling at Stanton for not sliding and snapping about that being the reason that teams lose close games. Hutton has a point, as Stanton's failure to slide was costly and helped run the Marlins out of the inning. But man...talk about a bit of an overreaction to a silly mistake. I can't recall an announcer getting that upset and chiding a player over something so minimal. It's not as if fundamental baseball is the reason why the Marlins are in last place in the NL East this season. I think that the stress of Miami's disappointing past two seasons is starting to weigh heavily on Hutton's mind.

Most people feel like booking another holiday on returning to work after a summer vacation. Patricia Hewitt, for one, will need another holiday once she has digested the Competition Commission report on the bid battle for Safeway which will greet her return.
Trolleyloads of papers will be dumped on her desk this morning, outlining the commission's verdict on whether the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry should allow Safeway to be swallowed by one of its rivals - or not.
The UK's number four supermarket chain has topped the shopping lists of William Morrison, Tesco, J Sainsbury, Asda and the Bhs owner Philip Green. Bradford-based Morrison's sparked the multi-billion pound takeover frenzy in January by proposing to merge with Safeway in an all-share deal then worth £2.7bn.
But should investors join in the excitement of Britain's biggest supermarket sweep since the mighty Wal-Mart chewed up Asda? Should you stockpile some Safeway shares before Ms Hewitt's judgement next month?
In trading terms, the picture at Safeway is not good. The group has lost market share to all its predators, and its most recent quarterly sales showed a 0.6 per cent decline.
More relevant is how badly the stock will react if Ms Hewitt takes a dim view of further consolidation. The worst scenario for shareholders would be a blanket ban on all bids - likely to send Safeway shares down to about 200p on trading grounds alone. Happily this is unlikely to happen: the commission said a Morrison acquisition would be "pro-competitive" in its June remedies letter. Morrison shares represent good long-term value in themselves.
Clearance for Morrison alone, whose bid is currently worth just under 250p per share, would preclude a bidding war among trade buyers but analysts predict the presence of Mr Green and any number of deal-hungry private-equity houses would limit the stock's downside to 230p to 240p. After all, Safeway has a net asset value of 400p a share.
Best of all would be the green light for Asda and Sainsbury's alongside Morrison (no one seriously thinks Tesco has a chance). Although the number two and three operators would have to sell a significant chunk of Safeway's 481 stores, their presence could boost the take-out price as high as 390p per share. While it is obviously risky to try to play these situations, speculative investors could well find Safeway a lucrative punt. Buy.
Wait for more at Morgan Sindall
As with the UK economy as whole, so with Morgan Sindall. The great spending splurge by the public sector is holding things together while conditions are miserable among private-sector customers. So the construction group was able to post a strong set of results yesterday and to reveal a £1.4bn order book of which public-sector work forms the backbone. Affordable housing projects, hospital construction work and rail and road-building schemes are all helping to lift the numbers.
And to lift the spirits, since Morgan Sindall disappointed shareholders mightily last year after messing up the integration of the six regional construction businesses which made up its Bluestone division. That division was back in profit in the six months to 30 June, converting a £4m loss in the period last year into a £179,000 gain. There is still more to go for, particularly now that Bluestone is concentrating on fewer, longer contracts, in particular for the National Health Service.
There was strong growth from the infrastructure services division, which has been tunnelling at Heathrow Terminal 5. Water companies are also increasingly outsourcing big infrastructure projects. The main worry is falling turnover in the office refits division.
The order book for affordable housing suggests that this division will be the most significant driver of profit growth in the medium term, and Morgan Sindall is investing here and has the capacity to take on extra debt in order to do so. Despite a cash outflow, the company was still able to increase its interim dividend although the dividend yield this year is likely to be just 2.5 per cent at last night's closing share price of 332.5p. On Arbuthnot's forecasts, the stock is on a current-year price-earnings multiple of 8.5, falling below 7 next year. Hold.
NWF is still cheap despite stellar run
NWF is "a four-legged animal", says its chief executive, Graham Scott, and walks perfectly well even if one of its legs has a bit of a limp. He can be forgiven the bestial metaphor, since the group was formed in 1871 as a farmers' co-operative and hundreds of the UK's dairy farmers are customers of its animal feed business, one of the four legs.
The Cheshire-based conglomerate also distributes fuel on behalf of Texaco, warehouses and transports groceries to supermarkets, and owns three garden centres.
It may look a peculiar beast, but it is a hard worker for its shareholders, more than a quarter of whom are still farmers. All the businesses are running at or close to full capacity. The warehousing business has had to rent extra space while a new building comes on stream. NWF is looking to hook up more independent garages to its fuel distribution unit, while there should also be growth at the garden centres where extension plans are in train. So Mr Scott is a cautious man, not betting the farm on expansion, and debt levels and interest payments are manageable as a result. There is also a well covered dividend yielding 4 per cent at the current share price of 375p.
The 12 months to May saw a 20 per cent leap in profits to £5.05m, but there may be no growth at all in the coming year as a result of higher pension and national insurance costs. NWF will struggle to maintain the stellar performance of its shares, but the stock is on a multiple of less than 9 times earnings, which is cheap for a company that has such a strong record and whose businesses are continuing to win market share.Reuse content

Swansea defender Chico Flores is losing his battle to be fit in time for Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Bradford, according to reports from The Mirror.
The Spaniard damaged his ankle ligaments against QPR ten days ago, but the Swans were hopeful he would recover in time for the showpiece clash at Wembley.
In a bid to fast-track the 25-year-old's return to full fitness, the club have been giving him round-the-clock treatment, but it appears to be unlikely that this will be enough.
Manager Michael Laudrup has set Chico a deadline of Thursday to prove his fitness for the club's first major final, a game he will be desperate to feature in.
If the man who arrived from Genoa over the summer cannot recover in time, one of Kyle Bartley or Garry Monk will partner Ashley Williams at the heart of the Welsh side's defence.
The duo featured in Swansea's 5-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool last weekend, as Laudrup shuffled his pack in a bid to keep his star players fresh.
The Dane will be hopeful that the heavy loss would not have dented Monk or Bartley's confidence ahead of, arguably, the biggest game in the club's history.
Meanwhile, South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng is in line to return to the first-team squad, after missing the Anfield trip with a throat infection.

I'm puzzled by rosemary. Not because it's difficult to grow. All it needs is sun and half-decent drainage (grit helps). The puzzle arises from the colour of the flowers. The ones I like best are a deep, intense blue. Over the years, I've taken masses of cuttings from Italian plants that have those kind of flowers.
But when the cuttings have grown and start to flower in the garden, the flowers come out the same greyish-blue as all the other rosemarys we've got. It must have something to do with the soil, I think. They all grow on a south-facing bank in full sun. They are all fine, vigorous plants. But I'm still hankering after that intense blue in the flowers.
Top marks for survival go to a rosemary that, 20 years ago, I bought for a pot on a small, square bit of roof garden in London. The owners were rarely there and nothing ever got watered. For nine months, the flat was entirely empty, and when I finally cleared out the roof garden, the rosemary was the sole survivor. I brought it down to Dorset for some well-deserved R&R.
It's now enormous and cascades down the slope here in a pleasantly relaxed way. Of all the rosemarys (there are nine of them) it's the closest to the kitchen, so gets regularly raided for cooking. But you'd never know. It's easy to nip off a couple of the young, leafy side shoots without leaving an ugly gap.
Why do I need nine? Well of course I don't. But when you've raised a cutting into a thumping little plant, it seems a pity not to use it. And in that quest for the right blue, I've raised a lot of cuttings. If I squint, I could almost pretend that 'Sissinghurst Blue' has deeper flowers than the rest. But it's the least successful plant in terms of form. It dies back more readily than the other rosemarys. It doesn't seem to shrug off cold wind, as the others do. And the foliage is too fine to be effective, in the way that other rosemarys are.
Most of them are planted with colonies of species tulips, fritillaries and crocus in between. The whole of this front part of the bank is covered in gravel, which suits the bulbs as well as the rosemarys. Because the flower garden behind is rather hectic, it seems to me an advantage to have a calm foreground, with one key plant repeated at intervals. And the more rosemarys you have, the more chance there is of brushing up against them in the garden and releasing the smell, which I honestly believe does you good. It is a calming smell – aromatherapy for free. And a few twigs on a barbecue gets you to the Mediterranean without the air miles.
Rosemary needs very little attention. Cut off straggly branches after flowering, if you want to keep your bush within bounds. Ours are left alone; I just cut out any branches that have died during winter. If you want to propagate them, take cuttings of side shoots – roughly 10cm long – in July or August. Strip off the lower leaves and sink the cuttings round the edge of a pot of compost. The following spring, separate out the rooted cuttings and pot them on, each in its own container, before eventually planting them out. If you have the kind of heavy, damp soil in which lavender rots during winter, use rosemary instead. It is much more forgiving. 'Severn Sea' will tumble horizontally down steps and slopes. 'Miss Jessopp's Upright' will grow in a more vertical fashion. All are excellent in pots.
The Romans brought us rosemary, as well as chervil, chives, fennel, parsley, rue, thyme. And sage. The useful thing about rosemary and sage is that both can be built into a planting scheme for a flower garden. As well as aromatic, they are handsome, permanent and evergreen. You could grow rosemary with the tall spires of asphodel and a scattering of Californian poppies. Or try a clipped upright bush of rosemary with clumps of grey-leaved dianthus, a small iris such as Iris graminea and the scented-leaf pelargonium 'Candy Dancer'.
The ordinary kind of sage has grey, felted leaves, but there is a purple-leaved selection (Salvia officinalis 'Purpurascens') which is a great ally in planting schemes of dark purple and bronze. Try it alongside tulips, with alliums to follow, and a fringe of giant chives. Both the grey and the purple-leaved kinds look best if you clip them over in spring to encourage a fresh flush of leaf. You lose the flowers, but that doesn't much matter. The foliage is more important. The variety called 'Tricolor' has leaves that are rather too hectic, grey-green variegated with white, pink and purple. This is generally less robust than the others, with a height and spread around 40cm. Ordinary sage and 'Purpurascens' get to 60cm.
Sage is a key ingredient in one of my favourite savoury tarts. Start with a pre-cooked pastry case, about 30cm across (or two smaller ones). Melt some butter and in it fry an onion, about 500g celery and at least 15 sage leaves, all the ingredients finely chopped, until the onion and celery are properly limp. Add some grated zest and the juice of half a lemon. Spread the mixture in the tart case and crumble about 250g of Stilton over the top. Beat up three eggs with a big (284ml) carton of double cream and pour it over the top. Bake it for about half an hour at 180C/gas mark 4. The tarts freeze beautifully.
This recipe came originally from Sarah Raven's Food for Friends and Family cookbook (Bloomsbury, £30) and has become a staple, because both Stilton and celery are ingredients that you have hanging around in the fridge long after their first, fresh showing on the table. The precise amounts don't matter much, but without the sage, the tart would be bland and much less interesting.
In the garden, sage is easy to grow, better in sun than shade, though we have a vigorous bush growing in quite a damp, half-shaded spot. Like rosemary, it gets woody with age, but not so elegantly. There'll come a point when it fails to respond to your cutting it back. Yank it out and plant a new one.Reuse content


text: This is this MawMaw's attempt at her very first trip report. After, I started reading another persons report today...I thought... I guess I should of started mine with alittle about us. We're the lucky PawPaw & MawMaw to 5 cute grandkiddos. They keep us young & at times make us feel old! And August will bring us #6! We have 4 kids. 2 of our girls are married & they live close by. 1 daughter still lives at home but works full time & our youngest son is at A & M...a full time student with a full time job. This is my DH & me. PawPaw is Eugene & I'm MawMaw or Sharon DAY #1 Surely not? You are going there again?! I mean...how many times have y'all already been there? Hmmm...lets see...this was our 9th trip & we love it more everytime we go! I never have to guess what my DH is getting me for my birthday. For 6 years now I've been given a trip for the 2 of us to Disney & before we checked out we booked bounceback for next December!! December 8th found us rushing to the airport after Church to catch our plane. We'd booked great flight times & a direct flight ages ago & then they bumped our time up. So, after madly dashing to get there... we find our plane had problems & we had a several hour delay while a working plane was located. Much as I wanted to be on the way... I'd much rather wait than to board a plane with a problem! Finally, we were on our way & we had a smooth flight. After landing, we didn't even wander around mixed up this time... but went straight to Magical Express & boarded our bus. After a short wait.. we were on our way & we found that CSR was to be the first stop! We love Coronado Springs Resort! Our room this time was in the Casitas. We were in bldg #5, 3rd floor, room # 5330 a king. We loved this location. We were very close to bus stop #2 which we think is the best bus stop. You are first on & first off the bus & we love that part. This was our third stay at CSR & we find the resort to be so peaceful & relaxing! The walk to the front area of the resort is a pleasant stroll around the lake area. We usually went every afternoon to refill our cups & get my DH a newspaper. After checking into our room we headed to our ADR at Fulton's at DTD. We've always wanted to dine at Fulton's & as they joined the DDP this year we decided to give them a try. We originally planned to shop at DTD & then eat. However, with our delayed flight times we were tired & decided to try & check in early to eat. We were sucessful & were soon seated at a great table. My DH ordered Alaskan crab & a shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were huge & he thought they were both awesome! I am allergic to shellfish... so I ordered fish tacos & a steak. Both were great! The fish tacos were simply delicious! I could of made a meal off those. The desserts were great too & the service wonderful! Fulton's is now on our must repeat every trip list!

The platforms also require less power and space. "As the worldwide market leader of industrial-grade computing solutions, Advantech has invested heavily in dedicated resources to develop the essential building blocks that enable the deployment of innovative and integrative video system infrastructure, including video acquisition, video encoding, video processing and video distribution," said David Lin, Senior Director Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Solutions, Advantech. "The fundamental technologies based on digital signal and media processors, x86 processors, networking processors and field-programmable gate-array devices, plus system-level integration, make Advantech products ideal for well-established codec processing such as MPEG-2, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC along with the new video standards we are demonstrating at this year's NAB Show." In addition to the H.265 and JPEG 2000 4K demonstrations, Advantech, along with their ecosystem partners einfochips and Ittiam, will be demonstrating the latest video streaming services and video wall applications. The PCIe-based advanced video platforms used in the HLS streaming demonstrations are based on the DSPC-8681 and DSPC-8682 PCI Express (PCIe) cards and can support up to eight TMS320C6678 multicore DSPs from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), each with 2GB of DDR3 1333/1600MHz 64-bit DDR3 memory, the PLX® ExpressLane™ PEX8748 PCIe Gen 3 switch, a Xilinx XC3S200AN Spartan-3 FPGA and an IDT CPS1616 Serial RapidIO Gen 2 switch to achieve levels of performance that far exceed the performance and density of commodity platforms.

text: Dear axp-list, In trying to get vnc-3.3.2 to compile on Linux RH5.1 alpha, I ran into some problems. It seems the imake doesn't know about alpha, or doesn't handle it correctly. When doing xmkmf in the toplevel of vnc, the necessary imake AlphaArchitecture variable is not set, so none of the right switches for the Makefile get set either. Primarily, the LinuxMachineDefines variable doesn't get a value, so it gets passed directly to gcc, which doesn't like this very much. I.e., instead of -D__alpha__, it gets just LinuxMachineDefines as one of its arguments. The file Imake.cf in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/conf uses __alpha to check for the alpha in the linux clause. I tried changing this to __alpha__, but this still didn't help. Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to make a clean patch for vnc to compile on alpha. As an aside, debian slink distribution has a i386 vnc .deb, but not an alpha vnc .deb -- could this perhaps be because of these problems? Or do they have to get different maintainers for the same package on different platforms?

Taxation Law for Small Businesses
Taxation law is a complex as well as in-depth area of concern for the small company owner. With potential pecuniary as well as criminal consequences, it is best to ensure as a business owner, you might be familiar with the tax implications in your jurisdictions, and the ways you can minimise your legal responsibility. Whilst one of the most legally essential things to understand as a small business owner, taxation law also provides an outstanding opportunity for saving money and growing profitability within a small business atmosphere. In this article, we will look at a few of the main and most common taxes implications of running a small company, and some of the most effective ways associated with ensuring you pay much less tax through your small business procedure.
Tax regimes vary from legislation to jurisdiction, and the effects of running a small business additionally vary, both in terms of the lawful and financial requirements. That being said, there are a number of common components that transcend jurisdiction and search in numerous guises across numerous systems that can be of use towards the small business owner. One of the first things to consider like a small business owner is to establish a llc. The primary reason for this is which limited liability companies generally provide a more relaxed tax routine as compared to income tax liability. The sole proprietor operating out-with the parameters of a business entity is liable to take into account profits as income, which could lead to a greater tax legal responsibility and potential individual condition contributions. As a corporate business, the owner can pay himself through share dividends, which have a lower tax liability and therefore minimising his overall legal responsibility to tax. This is considerably better than paying oneself the wage, which bears the actual tax liability from each ends, i. e. the organization is liable to taxation as the employee.
Another essential for the little business owner is what is known as funds allowance. By means of capital permitting, business owners can offset the actual acquisition cost of assets on the graduated scale in accordance with the particular principles of the regime involved. This is in effect a deductible cost, which ultimately minimises annual tax liability. There is a specific benefit in that many routines allow an accelerated alleviation for business assets. This can be used to an extent by getting assets through the business, for instance a car, which can also be utilized for personal purposes. Rather than purchasing a car from personal earnings, buying it through the organization allows you to offset the amount of the cost quickly against your business earnings, which ultimately reduce your legal responsibility to tax.
Before getting into any tax reducing techniques, it is important to ensure you are familiar with the specific laws of your legislation to avoid running into problems with the authorities. In some associated with Europe, for example , there is a necessity to declare any particular tax minimising strategies to the federal government to allow for rectification of alternatives. It is important to ensure you are familiar with the specific laws to avoid possible criminal liability as a consequence of lack of knowledge. By familiarising yourself using the laws in your jurisdiction, you are able to avoid the potential pitfalls and a tax planning technique that provides the most cost effective solution for you personally and your small business.
Taxation Legislation for the Sole Trader
It is said the only things in life which are certain are death as well as taxes. For the sole investor, this is definitely the case, with times it can seem like a good overbearing pressure. Thankfully, for your sole trader there are many ways you can minimise liability in order to income tax and leave much more in your bank account at the end of the actual month. In this article, we will take a look at some of the key features of taxes management from the perspective from the sole trader, and some from the ways in which the sole trader may minimise the legal implications of his operation.
Like a sole trader, you are generally accountable for your profits when it comes to income tax. This can be particularly difficult, given that the structure associated with income tax in most jurisdictions is really a fairly heavy burden within the citizen, particularly those with greater incomes. The first thing that should be regarded as is incorporation. As a business entity, you will be required to manage more paperwork, but eventually it will save you money. Company tax on profits is leaner than income tax in the most of situations, and dividend earnings carries less taxable bodyweight than other income, for example income and salaries. The first thing to perform, as a sole trader inside the top income tax bracket, would be to incorporate, which could potentially conserve thousands every year.
The sole investor must be aware of the fact that there are certain items which cannot be discounted from earnings. In fact , certain everyday products must be declared and should give rise to tax. For example , state a self-employed solicitor has a bottle of good wine by a particular customer every year as thanks for their service. This wine, while not initially apparent, will usually need declaration for tax, within the basis that it is an ongoing present or benefit arising from work. It is therefore important to watch what exactly is included and what is overlooked from your tax return. In case you are at all unsure, it is better to incorporate an item and pay taxes, rather than running the risk of ignoring to mention its existence. On the other hand, it may be a good idea to consult an expert on the particular laws of the jurisdiction, and to determine whether not really it would be possible to avoid legal responsibility.
Another important thing to remember is the fact that there may be certain personal funds gains liability for removal of a primarily business resource. As a sole trader, what this means is you will be liable to account for the actual disposal of the asset as well as any capital gains in market value, which can be a costly company. Again, it is probably recommended to consult a tax attorney or tax adviser in order to minimise liability on removal and to manage your taxes liability more effectively.
Tax legislation is a particularly intricate part of the law, and one that is within perpetual change. This means the little business owner is required to keep one eyes on tax developments to prevent being caught out, which means there is certainly less room for concentrate on the core areas of company and making money. Alternatively, the actual advice of a tax professional can be invaluable in reducing overall liability and eventually saving money from your tax bill each year.
Minimising Tax Liability Upon Death
When we die, the majority of us leave behind a fairly substantial as well as intricate web of resources and liabilities, including cash, our home and our own other possessions. In most jurisdictions, there arises a legal responsibility to tax on demise that must be borne from the wholeness of the estate, and this can result in a significant reduction of gift of money for our loved ones. Having said that, there are a variety of ways in which liability in order to tax on death could be vastly reduced whilst nevertheless ensuring sufficient legacies as well as provisions mortis causa. In this post, we will look at some of the most prominent ways in which one can seek to reduce his estate's liability in order to tax on death, as well as ways in which careful planning will help increase the legacies we spoke of.
Tax liability on demise usually arises through poor inheritance planning, and a insufficient legal consideration. Of course to some extent it is unavoidable, but with a few care and consideration you are able to reduce liability overall. There is absolutely no point in making legacies in a will which will not be fulfilled until after demise and which haven't already been properly considered in light from the relevant legal provisions. In case you haven't done so currently, it is extremely advisable to consult a lawyer on minimising liability upon death, and on effective property planning to avoid these possible problems and to ensure your loved ones are left with more within their pockets.
If you intend to keep legacies to family members of the specific quantity or character, it may be wise to do so a minimum of a decade before you die, that will ultimately divert any possible legal challenges upon demise which would give rise to tax legal responsibility. Obviously there is seldom in any manner to tell precisely when you are likely to die, but making legacies at least a decade beforehand eliminates any liability that might be connected on death. In effect, giving during your lifetime well before a person die means you can nevertheless provide for your family and buddy without having to pay the corresponding goverment tax bill.
Removing Resources When You Still Got Long-Lifetime
Another good way to minimise taxes liability is to get rid of resources during your lifetime by way of presents to friends and family. One of the most methods to do this is to transfer your home to your children during your life time, or to move the house right into a trust for which you are a named beneficiary. This means you remain functionally the owner, but legally, the actual asset doesn't feature within your estate on death and for that reason doesn't attract tax legal responsibility. Again, it is of excellent importance to ensure that the move is made well before death to prevent potential challenges and possible inclusion in the estate which may lead to inheritance tax legal responsibility.
Death is a particularly essential phase in our lives, especially in legal terms. The actual change between owning our very own property and distributing ownerless property provides a range of difficulties, and the controversial tax effects can cause serious problems. Without having careful planning and a specialist hand, it can be easy to generate a significant tax bill for your family members to bear. However , with the right path, it can be easy to use the relevant systems to minimise the potential legal responsibility to tax on your property upon death.

Here are the Telegraph's top tips to protect yourself from fraud
- Install security software on your computer. Many banks offer a free package to customers.
- Never open or respond to suspicious-looking emails. Your bank will never email you asking to send personal details
- Many phishing attacks claim your account security has been breached. A bank would never send such an email.
- Forward phishing attacks to your bank to investigate
- Never write down your pin. Memorise it.
- Regularly change passwords on your accounts and avoid using the same one for all your online accounts.
- Shred all unwanted bank and credit card statements.
- Avoid exposing middle names or dates of birth on social networking sites as these are often used as passwords
- Be alert for phone scams – fraudsters still cold-call victims to get personal details

Packages From Home began as a labor of love for founder, Kathleen Lewis' son, Sgt. John "Christian" Lewis, a soldier with the Army's 1st Infantry Division.
On September 11, 2001, Christian turned on the TV and was shocked to learn about the devastating terrorist attacks that had occurred that morning. Motivated by patriotism and a strong sense of duty, Christian responded by leaving his home and enlisting in the United States Army that same day.
In March 2004, Christian was deployed to Iraq and Kathleen began sending care packages to him on a regular basis. Christian loved the care packages and told his mom that receiving familiar items not only provided the comforts of home that he missed so much, but also reminded him that someone was thinking of him, which helped him combat the loneliness and dangers of deployed life. Receiving the packages motivated him to fight for his country and come home safe to his friends and family.
But Christian also delivered some sad news. He told his mom that he was the only solider in his squad receiving packages and letters from home. Kathleen rallied her closest friends and decided to "adopt" Christian's entire squad. The group began shipping packages to all of the troops in Christian's unit and Packages From Home was born.

Magazine Dumps Unsold 'Green' Edition in Land Fill
Posted 27 July 2008 - 11:21 AM
The discarded copies of the issuewhich features articles about conservation, biodiversity, and recycling, as well as guest editorials by President Clinton and Leonardo DiCaprioare expected to decompose slowly over the next 175 years.
Last week, The New York Times noted that the advertising industry is pulling back from green-themed marketing, having "grasped the public's growing skepticism over ads with environmental messages.
And advertisers' concerns are buttressed by the recent sales figures for magazines that have published a "Green Issue" this year.
Time's Earth Day issue was the newsweekly's third-lowest-selling issue of 2008 so far, according to ABC Rapid Report. A typical issue of Time sells 93,000 or so copies on the newsstand; the April 28 installment, which substituted green for red in the magazine's trademarked cover design, sold only 72,000. (As usual, The Onion nailed it.)
Elle's May issue sold a mere 275,000 copies, versus the title's year-to-date average of 328,500. The last issue of Elle to sell that badly was in May 2008 another green issue, probably not coincidentally.

Earth Day Is Lenin's Birthday
Coincidence or Communism?
By: Alan Caruba
In 1955, then Soviet Premier, Nikita Krushchev ordered April 22nd be designated a day to celebrate Communism. In 1970, it was chosen to be Earth Day by Gaylord Nelson, one of the founders of the event. Those founders had 365 days from which to choose. They chose Lenin's birthday.
When Communism was imposed on Russia in 1917, the first thing it did was to outlaw the ownership of private property. Under Communism, the State owns all property and all natural resources. In recent years in the United States government already owns more than forty percent of the nation's landmass. Individual States own property as well, bringing the total closer to fifty percent.
Today, fully a third of all federal laws and regulations are devoted to the so-called "protection of the environment." They impact property ownership and the use of all energy sources. Vast areas of the U.S., despite known, huge reserves of oil and coal, have been put off limits.

Earth Day Is Lenin's Birthday
Can I be the only one more than a little disturbed by the latest campaign to be fronted by energy company npower?
Launched today with large colour ads in the Sundays, it appeals directly to children, urging them to enlist as "climate cops", to root out "climate crimes", and thus "save the planet".
In a luridly-designed website, mimicking the style of "yoof" cartoons, it offers a bundle of downloads, including a pack of "climate crime cards", urging its recruits to spy on families, friends and relatives, inviting each of them to build up a "climate crime case file" in order to help them ensure their putative criminals do not "commit those crimes again (or else)!"

We turned a vegetarian one time. We'd have her over with her hubby (not a veg at all), and feed him wonderful food and we'd put together something nice and vegetarian for her. He'd just devour everything with gusto, barely speaking, save to "mmmm!" and praise us.
We knew we had her when she described how she, a vegetarian, liked her steak!

If you search for global warming at Google News, you will obtain 16,500 articles from the last 30 days. That's an amazing drop from the peak that occurred a year ago or so (or two years?) when the corresponding number was well above 50,000.
The green bubble has burst
The point of "utopian environmentalism" was to reduce guilt. During the green bubble, many Americans became "captivated by the twin thoughts that human civilization could soon come crashing down - and that we are on the cusp of a sudden leap forward in consciousness, one that will allow us to heal ourselves, our society, and our planet. Apocalyptic fears meld seamlessly into utopian hopes."
Suddenly, commonplace acts - e.g., buying light bulbs - infused pedestrian lives with cosmic importance. But: "Greens often note that the changing global climate will have the greatest impact on the world's poor; they neglect to mention that the poor also have the most to gain from development fueled by cheap fossil fuels like coal. For the poor, the climate is already dangerous."
Now, say Nordhaus and Shellenberger, "the green bubble" has burst, pricked by Americans' intensified reluctance to pursue greenness at a cost to economic growth. The dark side of utopianism is "escapism and a disengagement from reality that marks all bubbles, green or financial."

watching Channel 4s 'What The Green Movement Got Wrong'
The documentary was a celebration of the fact that two notable green campaigners Mark Lynas and Stewart Brand (creator of the Whole Earth Catalog) had finally come round to appreciating that some of the key tenets of their Green religion were flawed and had in fact done more harm than good.
GM crops such as golden rice and vitamin-enhanced millet, they cheerily conceded, were not evil Frankenfoods after all but a vital way of averting malnutrition in the Third World.
Nuclear power, they agreed, was way more efficient at producing clean energy than the coal alternative. Furthermore, the fuss about Chernobyl had been horribly overdone.
The near global ban on DDT inspired by Rachel Carsons junk science bestseller Silent Spring had caused millions to die of malaria.
Green campaigners like Brand and Lynas have not only caused massive damage to the global economy the biotech and nuclear industry, especially but they have also almost certainly contributed to numerous deaths in the Third World. And were what? supposed to cosy up to them now and go: Well done, lads! Youve seen the light!
What sticks in my craw still further is that neither Brand nor Lynas actually HAS seen the light. As the programme went on to demonstrate, both men remain wedded to the equally wrong-headed theory of Man Made Climate Change.
Had these Greenies been capable of a scrap of insight or self-analysis, they would have understood that the current (now fading) hysteria about AGW comes from exactly the same school of junk science and muddled thinking that gave us Atomkraft Nein Danke and know-nothing idiots in masks and white jumpsuits (Lynas among them) destroying fields of GM crops.

The advent of mobile, the Internet of Things, and cloud has reinforced the need for a new era of analytics to solve challenges in the customer, product, operations, and marketing domains. And new niche startups armed with data and digital weapons are all set to shake up the market with a wave of digital disruptions. The established companies need to restructure their business and technology landscape. Such transformation helps them to increase their sales and is a matter of survival in the current market conditions, where "data and digital" is the new word of mouth.
A complete data-driven transformation is nearly impossible unless the organization is prepared to deconstruct old-school methodologies and pave the way for establishing a data culture. Like business transformation, data-driven transformation must provide an end-to-end solution. Data-driven transformation calls for a This is especially important for companies that have IT and marketing services departments heavily outsourced because stringent service-level agreements with vendors often kill innovation and don't provide the space to take risks and "fail fast."
Forging relationships with a competent, agile, and trusted partner can significantly accelerate your company's progress. Data governance is your framework for making decisions and a tool to tailor your company's corporate data rules, so third-party controlled data governance can be challenging and costly.
Treat your Data as your Company's Most Valuable Asset
To be most effective and efficient, methodologies for combining business and technology transformations require both initiatives running in parallel and complementing each other.
Gartner Research statistics show that data-driven transformation can be initiated beyond the IT domain. The 2015 percentage increase in business unit heads driving initiatives that formerly were championed by a small group of enthusiasts indicates that companies are recognizing the value of big data. Big data is no longer just another IT project. Companies seeking to gain a foothold as a market leader benefit when everyone gets involved.
Why Companies Have Struggled with Traditional Analytics
Analytics has evolved in three stages: Analytics 1.0 was data warehousing and business intelligence; Analytics 2.0 was big data, Hadoop, and NoSQL. We are in the era of Analytics 3.0, when tools make decisions and measure the impact. A true data-driven transformation requires moving to Analytics 3.0.
Prior eras utilized traditional description analytics and data warehousing. The problem with this approach is that descriptive analytics is the postmortem analysis: It tells what happened before. In Analytics 3.0, prescriptive analytics (what should I do?) minimizes human input and eliminates descriptive analytics (what happened?), using technology to facilitate decision support and automation. This creates disruption and allows companies to catapult ahead of the competition.;

The World Association of Newspapers today confirmed it had rescheduled its annual World Newspaper Congress, World Editors Forum and Info Services Expo and would hold them in Hyderabad, India, from 30 November to 3 December this year.
Last month MediaGuardian.co.uk revealed that WAN was going to postpone its 62nd World Newspaper Congress and 16th World Editors Forum, the world's largest newspaper conference, which was due to take place between 22 and 25 March.
"Our Indian colleagues have done a fantastic job in rescheduling all the arrangements, which is not an easy job for an event of such size and scope," said Timothy Balding, the WAN chief executive.
"For our part, we believe newspaper companies will, by necessity, learn to live with the crisis over the year and be more willing to invest again in conferences and travel by the end of the year.
"These events have long been a major opportunity for newspaper executives from around the globe to meet and exchange strategic ideas, and the need for such exchanges is more important than ever."
Last year the WAN conference drew more than 1,800 participants from 113 countries to Gothenburg, Sweden, a record for the 61-year-old conference.
But in January, the number of confirmed delegates for the March WAN event in India stood at 227, forcing the organisation to postpone the conference.

Player #3
"Long day, John?"
John Loke nodded slowly, his chin not hurrying to meet his chest, his eyes not rushing to rise back to their usual level. His exhaustion was obvious in his every movement, it was etched into his face.
John's day had begun early that morning, he'd had many errands to run before he could come to the table that night: a trip to the bank, a stop at the liquor store, more phone calls than he could remember.
He eased himself into his leather chair, donned his sunglasses and pulled out a cigar. He had never lit a cigar in all the nights they had gathered for this ritual of money, secrets and lies. He just chewed it thoughtfully, rolling it from one side of his mouth to the other like a lollipop.
He had missed a few nights along the way, never explaining why and he was never asked. You either showed up with your money, or you didn't.
John Loke was a man of few words, respected by all the souls gathered around that table and liked by a few. His head was always shaved to a reflective gleam and he never wore a watch. He never tipped his hand, he knew a bluff when he saw one and he played poker as though ice flowed through his veins.
The man known as John Loke was ready to play.
But this was not John Loke.

Devils Attorney (iOS)
Devil's attorney is a game about the ambitious lawyer Max McMann, who is one of these charming and sly advocates who defend low life criminals. He is charismatic, he is funny and he wants to be the best. You help him gain his success by out-talking the prosecutor and any witnesses, by intimidating them or tampering with the evidence. He's no Phoenix Wright; Max is much more focused on getting the result he needs by any means. He's the type of character who will win at all costs.
Throughout the game, you build on three main skills – materialism, vanity and decadence by buying different furniture, suites, accessories and car accessories. Each of these skills give you a different approach to defending the criminals.
From the start the game is a lot of fun. It took me around a day and a bit to complete, but that was solid play. The storyline is involving and well told, and you need to play again multiple times to see the whole story.
The most interesting part for me was the relationship between Max and his love interest Susan Maple. When you take on a case at the beginning there is some hilarious banter between Max and the prosecuting advocate, and whenever that prosecutor was Susan it was at its best. I had a lot of laughs watching them. Max has an excellent sense of humour and he enjoys making fun of his fellow advocates.
A part of the games charms was its retro-chronological setting – the 80s. I think that's just one of the main features of the game that made the experience of playing it all the more enjoyable. The music is just great and evokes the time well, and the three different locations that you experience are varied and detailed. It kind of reminded me of those 80s lawyer sitcoms and I loved it!
The visuals are stylised and very well done, and well suited to the zany, sleazy nature of the game. There isn't too much of a graphical requirement as the game is passive and often static. The art is good though, and you do more thinking and selecting different attacks rather than physically moving and walking about.
The music is top too. The song from the intro is catchy and the sound effects are good. I really liked the voice work. The person who voiced Max did a great job of making him likeable. All of the advocates meanwhile had suitable voices too.
At times though I had the feeling that I'd done a case before so there is a level of repetitiveness, but for me the curiosity of finding out what was going to happen next was stronger, and I didn't give up on the game!
I had a great time playing Devils Attorney, and I really hope that there will be more cases, but even if there isn't the ending was pretty good!

McDonough (GA) Eagles Landing Christian Academy defensive end Justin Thomason holds at least 11 offers. He was expecting to narrow down his list of finalists last month, or even make a decision.
That was until a new group of offers, including one from Pitt, came along. Thomason wants to take some more time to look at a few schools, with Pitt being one of them.
"They were sending letters," Thomason said of Pitt. "(Defensive line) coach (Paul) Randolph came to one of our spring games. After I went through one of our practices, he went to my coach and offered right after practice."
Thomason adds that the contact with Randolph has been pretty good. He has hopes of getting up to Pittsburgh for a visit, to at least take a look at the campus and the facilities.
"I know they have a great philosophy, as in character-wise," Thomason said. "Coach Randolph talked about that. I'm either going in July, or taking an official visit there."
Academics will also play a role in his decision. Though he didn't get specific with Pitt's academics—something he wants to learn more about from their standpoint—he did talk about how much he values this area.
"First of all, I'm looking for academics, I guess that's where Vanderbilt stands," Thomason said. "Then, I'm looking at the conference, then how much playing time and the people I'll be playing against."
Thomason was at Tennessee last week, and feels the Vols are close to offering. He also mentioned the other schools he'd like to visit this summer.
"I visited Alabama, Tennessee and Vanderbilt," Thomason added. "New month, I plan to visit Central Florida, hopefully Pitt and Southern Miss."
In his junior season, Thomason finished with 70 tackles, nine sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. He earned all-region and was an honorable mention all-state selection. There's still a chance he could make a decision at the end of the summer, but now feels that decision will come after his senior season.

"My forthcoming budget will present a number of other initiatives, from education to transportation to expanding the economy while streamlining and modernizing state government.

Get out of debt and stay out with the help of Dave Ramsey, recently seen by millions of Today Show viewers. His practical regimen, first set forth by The Financial Peace Planner, which will be published by Penguin in January 1998. Loaded with inspirational insights that come from personal experience, this set of books is the most valuable purchase a debt-ridden reader can make.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The author's own experience with debt and bankruptcy is the backdrop for the story of his journey from financial riches to loss of everything and then to survival when he found new success through his counseling efforts, which are framed by his religious beliefs. Ramsey determined that his personal experience with financial pain was an ideal foundation for a career in assisting consumers in handling debt. The reader learns that it takes considerable sacrifice, discipline, and patience to control money, and Ramsey contends that a huge percentage of Americans, caught in a web of instant gratification, need help in managing their finances. The core of the book reflects on 25 principles, which the author calls "peace puppies," great creatures that are eager to please and love their master but, without discipline, will become wild and mean. These puppies include avoiding the worship of money, giving money away to worthy causes, living substantially below one's income, and laying out written details of a cash-management plan. One caveat: the book concludes with a set of financial worksheets; however, they do provide an excellent introduction to disciplined planning. Mary WhaleyFrom Library Journal:
As a young and gifted businessman during the real estate decade of the Eighties, Ramsey, who has a Christian radio talk show, made millions; however, when the market eventually collapsed, the author found himself driving a Jaguar with no money for gas. Using the anger he felt from this experience as a catalyst to write this book, Ramsey bypasses advice on stock and mutual fund selection typically found in similar books and takes aim at the behavioral aspects of personal money management. Admonishing the reader to avoid the seductiveness of credit cards, among other things, Ramsey illustrates his strategy for dumping debt, which he considers paramount in realizing financial peace. While here and there he incorporates Christian practice, e.g., in the first chapter he uses prayer for gathering his thoughts and later speaks of tithing and charitable contributions, his work is straightforward and written without financial jargon. This is a firm but necessary slap in the face for individuals and married couples just getting out on their own. Highly recommended for public libraries.?Dennis Krieb, St. Charles Cty. Coll., St. Peters, Mo.

The purpose of the Health Science Education Small Grants Program is to stimulate research and innovation in health science education. This program will make small awards (up to $5,000 per project) from an overall project pool of approximately $30,000 to faculty at one of The University of Texas health institutions who submit a written proposal and budget for a project that strives to improve education by innovative approaches.
These projects may involve curriculum development, evaluation methods, faculty development, or use of technology. Projects demonstrating a direct, measurable, positive impact on health science education will be most competitive for the award. Applications will be accepted from all health science disciplines, including medical, nursing, dental, allied health, health information sciences, and basic biomedical sciences.
A successful application will be based upon merit with the intention to be responsible to the needs of a given program. Collaboration between or among units or schools is strongly encouraged where possible. Individuals who received funding in the initial year of the program can reapply for a second year of funding, but this application requires submission of a progress report as well as a proposal for additional funding.
