About one third of Edmonton's river valley trails are only considered to be in fair or poor condition. That's according to a report going to the Community and Public Services Committee Monday.
The report looks at the current condition of the city's trail system as well as causes of degradation. It examined improved trails, which have surface treatment such as concrete or asphalt. There are more than 160 kilometres of improved trails in Edmonton.
The report found that while 58 per cent of improved trails were either very good or good, 23 per cent were ranked as fair, eight per cent were ranked poor or very poor while 11 per cent were unknown.
The assessment of poor or very poor means there is distress on the trail, potholes, major cracking or displacement while fair means there is minor surface unevenness or displacement.
"You can't build them and ignore them. You have to build them, monitor them and repair them as necessary," Coun. Scott McKeen, who sits on the committee which will go over the report, said.
The report found the trail network has experienced erosion, instability and exposure to storms and flooding. At the same time, the city has experienced a growth in population and in the popularity of outdoor recreational activities as well as in the use of alternative modes of transportation.
McKeen said the city needs to invest more in the network of trails.
"Those aren't sexy dollars to spend," he said. "I think with the river valley trails, we just have to bite the bullet and spend the money to maintain them."
"I think it's money well spent because the river valley and the river valley trails are one of the highest assets we have in the city. It's really important to people and a spectacular asset to Edmonton."
Tom Golub either walks or bikes in the river valley three to five times a week and has seen conditions deteriorate.
"The city trails – they've slumped," he said. "It's totally walkable and rideable. There [are] dangerous bits. It's quite narrow, gets icy and stuff like that.
"[The city has a lot] of road projects. They're also putting in bike lanes. It might, in the grand scheme, be more important but it sure would be nice if they invested some money in it at some point."
Ann Marie Long walks her dogs and runs in the river valley three to four times a week. She has noticed the lack of maintenance.
"This is a trail really close to my house. I've been running this for years, probably 35 years, I'm sad they're not upkeeping it," she said.
"I think it's sad because people use it a lot. It's a beautiful river valley. I think there should be some more money put into upkeep."
There are currently 11.3 kilometres of closed improved trails due to flooding, undercutting of banks, slumping, erosion or instability.
The city has an annual operating budget of $1 million to maintain, inspect and repair the Whitemud Creek Ravine and river valley trail system.
Annually, from 2015 to 2018, the city has a capital budget of $7.5 million for parkland conservation and rehabilitation, landslide and erosion repair as well as creek bed erosion and stability.
McKeen said shifting more money to maintain and repair the trails will be a consideration as the city prepares its next budget.
"I certainly would support spending the money to get our river valley trails up to a really good level," he said. "That's why you would take a hard look at the budget and see if you can find some savings in other areas. But we have other demands that we probably don't know about yet and that is going to be one of them."

Nikon D800 preview updated with side-by-side comparisons
We've managed to get a bit more information about the Nikon D800E and have had a little longer to prepare our side-by-side comparison images, so have updated our preview. Nikon has given us more detail about how the D800E cancels-out the effect of its optical low-pass filter and we're now able to show how the D800 compares to the D700 and Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

really want to afford Nikon D800 / D800E ASAP. that 36MP machine makes me want to explore that full framed DSLR. love NIKON.....
Do any of the D800 reviews discuss the dynamic range of the sensor? How does it compare with the D300, D700 and D4 as well as Canon offerings. It would be nice to avoid the whole HDR approach to capturing a wider range.
And unless I misread the review, the D800 supports sRGB and Adobe RGB but not Pro Photo RGB. This makes no sense. Tell me it ain't so.
It seems many folks are missing the point of having 36m pixels. For maybe the first time in the digital era, the camera will not be the limiting factor in overall sharpness. The lenses you own and how you use them will be the determining factor. For some that will mean buying better lenses, for others it will be learning to focus better and learning to use the right aperture.
I certainly have improved on both over the past few years! Of course Nikon will benefit as more photographers buy their better lenses.
There has been so many wonderful photos by professionals and amateurs in recent years. We are soon to see even more. This is an exciting time if you are an avid photographer.
The problem here is not the cam, but the lenses. The full size Japanese pictures out of the D800 showed in the net are partially problematic already: the Nikkor 24-70 flags here because of centering problems! Even for my only 12MP-D3 i have to use well selected fixed focal lenses to get even sharp pictures at 8, so you can imagine how "easy" it will be to get good lenses for this D800 with 36MP! I guess the wise limit is around 20MP, there you have a chance to be able to use a zoom - trying 5 and getting 1 really sharp one! ;-) I would find a well updated D3X much better, now we got something like the SONY A900 again, on the manufacturer .com-site there is no D800 picture over ISO640 shown and visible noise starts up even at ISO320! :-(
It has (I think) been eluded to that the cf cover and the rubber grip glue are bad on Nikons???? I have owned a D1, D2, D3, D700, D7000 over the years and currently and have never ever found either of these as problematic and I use my cameras alot and at times I'm not the most gentle. Hmmmmm
having so many cameras you might not be able to touch them enough : )
I had to replace every single rubber piece from my D300.
the large rubber flap also needed replacement (deformed). Nikon wanted to send the camera for 4 to 6 weeks in because they need to dismantle the body to hinge in the new flap.
cost HKD 600. After long arguments about ho ridicules this is they sold me the flap for HKD 27 and i cut the hinge off. Since i don't need the ports it OK this way.
Another problem that the rubber eyepiece always falls of putting the camera into the bag.
I have D70 and D200 and on both cameras I have serious problem with the rubber grip glue. I'm trying to take care about my cameras as much as possible however the problem started on both cameras after aprox. 6000 shots taken. May be it has something to do with agresivity of photographers sweat, but I thing this range of cameras could have it solved.
As owner of Nikon DX equipment, I always had the desire to go FX but cost and usefulness kept me from doing so. I would have made the leap if the Pixel count density of FX approached DX at a reasonable cost.
Nikon just did that. I have a D7000 (16m). A D800 with a DX lens attached gives you guess what? 16m pixels. Does anyone else see the beauty in this? No longer does your lens type really matter. Put a 50mm DX lens on the D7000 and get 16m pixels. But that lens on a D800 and get 16 m pixels.
Put a 50 mm FX lens on a d7000 and you still get 16m pixels. Put that lens on the D800 and you get 36m pixels!
Obviously noise will not be as good as a D700 but I must say that after using the D7000 for a year I am very impressed with lack of noise in the dark areas. These can be lightened up in a way I could never do with my previous D300. I suspect the D800 to do the same.
Bravo to Nikon. You are now doing what Apple Computer has done. Given us something really new and useful.
Pixel density on the D7000 and D800 appear to be nearly the same. Where do you see extra noise coming from on the D800.
The pixel sizes for the D800 and D7000 are very nearly equal at 4.9 microns by 4.9 microns on a side. And as far as noise is concerned, those will also be equal if the pixel cell design and manufacturing processes are the same for both chips. But changes in cell design, surface passivation techniques, a backside illuminated design, etc can and will and do change the noise performance. Even if the pixel is the same size. Since Nikon doesn't reveal any of these details, everyone is left speculating.
I'm really disappointed that the D800 doesn't have an articulated screen for ease of video capture. I shoot with a D3, the best camera I have ever shot with (and that includes the Canon 1Ds MkII). When the D3s came out I couldn't justify the cost simply to do video and push the ISO a bit more. So when the D5100 was released I bought one principally to play with the video.
I have rarely used the D5100 for video with the screen simply reversed, i.e. flat against the back of the camera but always folded out to the left with the viewing angle being changed according to the shooting angle (usually from the hip) or to optimise the display vs ambient light.
Surely an articulated screen would not impact unduly on the price point for a D800? Most regular video cameras have them. The lack of one won't prevent me buying the D800 next month or perhaps the 'E' version. Does anyone know however why Nikon took this design decision for what otherwise has an immense specification?
Where are there any real, actual stories about them not being as durable? For a couple years now we've seen these screens on canon products, and all of the complaints about them "not being durable" have been from people not actually owning the camera. I'm a regular on the Canon compact forum, and I don't know if I've ever heard of a g11 or g12 screen breaking.
Generally speaking, if you don't need it, don't use it, and it should be just as durable as if the screen is fixed in place.
In the final review, it will be interesting to learn which CF and SD is optimized for this D800
Good point. I bet the CF/SD cards to support 36MP files (especially RAW files) will cost a bomb. We are talking about each RAW image of 50mb. So if D800 can write 4fps RAW images, the card to support that would have to be 200mb per second ... it sure ain't gonna be cheap.
This is insane, shutter release twice slower than D700, Why???
My D5000 has same...
Can anybody explain me?
This is clearly not a sports camera. No need for more than 4fps for landscape photos.
This is actually quite an announcement from Nikon...a 36MP camera for less than $3000?
Pros will understand the significance; the rest of us will just read reviews and complain about specs instead of getting out an shooting.
What does it mean, this 36MP? Again, there are so many other things that influence sharpness and true resolution - it doesn't impress me so much. What counts, is the final result. And I'm afraid the difference between a picture made by a D700 or a D800 printed out - even on a larger format - will disappoint many. It is a bit like a Lamborghini you will use to drive to the shop around the corner, I'm convinced many pro's don't need this. Not now, and not over a few years. With a D700 or 5D MKII they can still perfectly do their job. Nikon should better focus on quality, not least, of their glass.
"Pros will understand the significance"
Sounds to me more like someone is a wannabe pro if you don't understand why someone spending $3,000 on a dslr would expect that it would shoot faster than Canon's 60d ($1k), 7d ($1.5k), or...Nikon's own d7000?
Sounds to me like a money making ploy and nothing else - if they put a decent speed on their d8000, they wouldn't have justification for people to spend rediculous amounts of money buy a d3/d4.
A pro knows their niche and gets the right equipment to do the job.
FPS are not the only spec that matter. A sports shooter or photojournalist doesn't need 36MP but can make do with "only" 16.2mp of the D4 shooting at 10fps.
$3K for a high res landscape or fashion shooting tool? I wouldn't spend the money on it myself as a "wannabe pro" but pros will see the value in this camera instead of dropping, say $10000 on a Pentax 645D for high res work.
But to be fair - there is still marketing room for a D300 replacement - a high speed sports camera for those of us enthusiasts and poor pros that is cheaper than the D4 but more robust than the D7000.
Thanks to all for replies.
I understand that Nikon primary made D800/D800E for the studio photographers. Obviously they don't need high speed shutter release. (more FPS in 36MPxs need huge and expensive buffer+ energy:-) ). Despite the D700 was FX camera more usable for wildlife foto, for instance.
The D4 is very nice step for sports and wildlife photos but try to PULL this equipment everywhere :-).
Maybe D400 will be OUTSTANDING :-).
oh dear, after years of development it got the same flimsy CF card cover : (
I've never had grips coming off and I shoot professionally - but cameras are cleaned at the end of a days shooting. I suspect sweat and grime does it! What's wrong with with the cf card cover? Broken one? You must be extra rough!
I would like to see a F3 body with a digital side with these specs, Period. Bring back the mechanical operations while having the digital side feel mostly separate , kinda like how film felt separate from the camera. This would be amazing and also give the photographer a sense of a job well done.
Well, the fun's all over, and everybody can go back to taking pictures. Oh wait....D400 is still out there somewhere.
Or just keep what you got.
Absolutely. You know, this is the first time in a while that a camera in the prosumer class has left me cold. I think it's the 36mp thing and the size of the files. Hogan once said only amateurs need more pixels. Well, I'm an amateur, and the last thing I need is 36mp. But I am happy for Nikon, and this is good for Nikon users. They are going to make a killing with the D800 if they can build enough of them.
If I were cynical, i'd say the Pentax announcements were timed to push Nikon down the page, and the "new information" about the D800E was dpreview's attempt to put Nikon back at the top.
Good thing I'm not cynical. All I hear are birds in my lovely world.
Chirp. Chirp.
Yeah, that God you didn't say some thing stupid...
We have no control over product announcement timings! I wish we did...
Yeah they timed the CP+ trade show in Japan, because of a Nikon announcement. Everyone is out to get you too... ;)

Disclaimer: I own nothing, nada, not a thing. I just like pulling the strings while the real owners are not looking ^_^
A/N: Okay, this has had parts of it written in a note pad ever since I saw Captain America and the scene at the end of the credits (hands up how many of you haven't seen that part yet, even though it's been out for a few weeks?) and then recently I've seen the Avengers movie, and boy what a movie it is (best movie ever! And I'm probably going to regret saying that in a few months' time, oh well :P) Oh, and be very lucky for this is a chaptered story and I already have nearly all of it written out (which means this is not going to be abandoned but actually completed :P) Also, on a side note I'll probably disregard ALL timelines (comic, movies, books, spinoffs) just because I can (It's FAN FICTION people, you want canon go get the author approved versions, okay) but I will say that Fem!Harry was born in 1991 (coz that's the year I was born and I'll know my dates and times from there… Plus I was born in July too :P)
Title: Harriet Coulson: Avenger
Summary: Smuggled out of the country, a toddler gets a new identity and a whole new set of rules to play by, especially when there's a bunch of super-heroes who will always have your back.
The whole room became silent as a group of people stood by the open door, they all seemed to be of a different world, and none could tell that they were part of the same group but in the way they stood you could tell they were a team, and would fight to protect each other and the innocents around them.
Albus Dumbledore stood from his seat and with twinkling eyes spread his arms, once again calling attention to him and away from the group of misfits by the door.
"It is with great honour I present to the staff and children of Hogwarts, The Avengers. They are a group of gifted individuals that fight for peace in the Muggle world." There were a few scoffs from the Slytherin table before they received a glare from a large man in red with a hammer, "But they are not all what they seem." The twinkle was practically blinding as the aged wizard motioned for the group to introduce themselves.
"I am Director Nick Fury, of S.H.I.E.L.D" A tall man with an eye patch stepped forwards, "This is Agent's Coulson, Romanoff and Barton." Two women and a man stepped forward; they all wore black and had weapons strapped to certain areas of their bodies, although the man held a bow in his left hand and had arrows in a quiver on his back.
"This is Captain America (a man in a blue and red full-body suit with a cylindrical shield stepped forward), Ironman (A red and gold robot stepped forward and waved), Dr. Banner (A shy man in a suit stepped forward, rubbing his hands together in a nervous gesture), Thor Odinson (the man with the Hammer stepped forward and smiled, the Slytherin's shrunk back), and Loki Laufeyson (a man in green sneered as he stepped forward)"
Whisper's broke out within the hall and it took one of the female Agent's whistling to get them to quieten down. At the head table Severus hid a smirk, he'd know Agent Coulson for a while and was glad to see her doing so well.
"We are not here to be an attraction for you, we are not here for you to try and get us into your beds, some of us are old enough to be your grandfather (Ironman snorted while Captain America shifted slightly) We are here to help protect you all from the threat of Voldemort (she ignored the many shudder's throughout the students and even from some of the staff) now, as you were." She nodded before following behind Fury when he led the group down the central isle and towards the head table, where Dumbledore was still stood.
Agent Coulson broke away from the group and sat next to Severus who sneered at her before receiving a sneer in return, the school sat with baited breath before the potions master smiled (there were a few kids who had to be sent to the Hospital Wing a few seconds later), Dumbledore watched the twinkle in his eyes dimming slightly.
"Albus Dumbledore, thank you for allowing us entry, and the ability to see this place as well. We'll set up in a room near Mr. Snape, as we already know him, I'm sure that you won't mind." Fury spoke while the rest of the group sat near the potions master and their other team-mate, it only took a few moments before Thor was laughing like he would on Asgard and Loki was rolling his eyes while he tried to converse with both Agent Coulson and Severus Snape, and as Dumbledore's eyes connected with the emerald green ones of the young Agent the old wizard felt that things were going to be alright. For Harriet Potter had returned to Hogwarts.

Welcome to Red Nose Wine
Red Nose Wine specializes in importing wine of the highest quality from smaller and family run vineyards. There is a lot of very good wine at a very good price in the world, but it is often hidden within it's locality, be it in a small country village in Piedmont, or just a few steps away from a very famous Bordeaux chateau. The same can be said of Spanish, New Zealand and Chilean wines, to name but a few. The wines with the biggest advertising budgets are rarely the best wines at the best price. Our winemakers skills lie more in wine making than marketing, which makes them that little bit harder to find.
Red Nose Wine travels to find these wines and their wine makers. We concentrate on wines that reflect the land they come from and also the people who make them. Whether it is centuries of family tradition, or a 1st generation's attempt to connect with a special piece of land, if the wine stands out from the ordinary, we want to try it. We work hard to understand the winemaker's point of view and cost structures, but equally communicate the Irish wine buyer's expectations in both quality and price. We have been lucky enough to find partners who share our vision and we are gathering a loyal customer base, who we listen to and invite opinion from on a regular basis.
Tasting is a large part of our communication mechanism and we have a wine tasting area open every day in our retail wine warehouse, with up to 20 wines to sample on any given day. For us, the proof is in the wine, and we taste and re-taste and travel to and meet with our suppliers, before we decide to work together. We then offer the wines for our customers, both trade and retail, to taste, as theirs is the real final say.
"Life is much too short to drink bad wine".

Chapter 11.5Mature
Caelan looked at him for a few moments, weighing up his options. He hurried over, pushing Zeke's dagger into his hand.
"Please be careful."
"You know that's a lie," Caelan murmured with a smile, heading into the bathroom.
Zeke watched him walk away. With him here right now, he needed Caelan somewhere safe. He didn't have time to pull a shirt on as he sprinted out of the room. He heard Elijah shouting to Beth just before he entered the living room. A dagger was instantly being hurled at his face, but he managed to catch it just in time.
"It's just me!" he almost shouted, holding his hands up.
"Oh, thank God," Elijah murmured.
"What's going on?"
"Not a clue," Liam said from across the room where he and Onyx were trying to barricade the door.
"I was in here with Beth and there's just shouting from out in the corridor all of a sudden, and the door bursts open but it's only a couple. Managed to off them fairly quickly. They're humans though, how the fuck did they get in here?"
"I have a pretty good idea," Zeke mumbled before turning to Onyx. "I need you to open that door."
"What's going on, Zeke?" Lucas asked.
"Where are the others?" he asked, ignoring the question.
"Most of them are in the other rooms. Is Caelan safe?" Onyx answered.
Zeke nodded quickly. "I need you to open the door though."
"Can you protect everyone if I do?"
"I can."
Onyx seemed to believe him, nodding and telling Lucas to open the door. Zeke prepared himself for what he was going to do, summoning all of his energy. He shared a glance with Beth, who looked incredibly worried. He shot her a reassuring smile.
"You have to leave the door open as well," he said to them.
"What are you planning on doing, Zeke?" Elijah asked.
"You'll have to see. Ready?"
"Ready," Onyx confirmed with a nod.
Zeke walked over and got ready to dash out. As soon as the door was opened, he shot into the corridor and completely let himself go, showing them the reason he did the healing and not the fighting. He closed his eyes as he started and let himself fall into his trance state.
When he was next conscious of opening his eyes, he looked at the scene of utter devastation surrounding him. When he fought properly, he lost all sense of rationality and thinking. He could feel eyes on him and knew the other Brothers were watching.
Across the sea of dead human bodies, stood a well-dressed man with combed and styled blond hair, viciously sharp brown eyes and a cane to lean on.

Honey Rose is now Soundarya
Written by: By: Settu Shankar

Honey Rose said that she is changing her name just to make it more identifiable. Remember, it is the name of a popular actress who acted with Rajinikanth in films like Padayappa in the nineties and later lost her life in a plane crash near Bangalore during the last General elections.
Now, Honey Rose alias Soundarya is playing the lead role in the film Kandharvan. The actress claimed that she has got two new offers and a few discussions going on after changing her name.
Now she is hoping that the name change will make her career graph soar upward!

Metter, GA 30439
good stop over spot for us heading to N Florida for the following: * level, no unhook, pull thru site * showers were clean * good little playground for grandkids * safe feel environment * will use your campground again if travels push us your direction. thanks....7/15...
This park is one of the best we ever stayed at. We are from Ontario,Canada and stayed at allot of campgrounds in our travels. We stayed for 3 nights but due to commitments back home, we would have stayed longer. You were very helpful on our trip to Savannah. Thank you for a great time we spent there. 4/8-10/15.
3/1/15Although we just pulled in for the night, we loved the park! The greeting in the office was fantastic and went very smooth. The fact that we were brought warm cookies shortly after arrival went over very well. They were delicious and just what we needed. We ate them before dinner!We had four dogs between our two families and they even loved the park. The ease of pulling right through and the location to the highway were just another bonus. My sister had stayed on their previous trip through the area, so they recommended we both stay there again and it was a very good choice. We will definitely be back.Thank you for the hospitality! Mary & Kevin
1/3/15 We LOVE Beaver Run!! It was our first ever camping trip with our 5th wheel (we were tent campers!) and we were so happy to have discovered your park. Wonderful experience, wonderful folks. Thank you! We were truly blessed. K & J

we enjoyed our week stay....campground was clean and new looking....we thought ur workers were very nice and helpful....best we have encountered... Capt Frank 5/30/14
We stayed at Beaver Run last week. We had made a reservation the day before as we were continuing on South so needed somewhere convenient. Upon check in, Shelley let us know that they offered \"Tents For Troops\", which was such a blessing. She then took our boys on the golf cart as we followed with the camper to the site. While we were setting up, she brought us warm cookies. The kids loved it! Such a kind gesture! Everyone working at the park was very helpful and we enjoyed our stay. We will be back again next time we travel south! -Brian G. , USMC
We were so glad we saw your sign on the interstate. We were so tired. My husband was getting sleepy. We asked at a rest area near Macon if there were any campgrounds off I-16 and they said no. It was a God send! Very nice long pull- thru site nestled in the Georgia pines. Great camping experience. You two were so nice! Thanks for the cookies too! When we got to Hilton Head, we told several other RV friends about your campground. LS
We just wanted to thank you for your help and friendliness. We really enjoyed our brief visit with you and definitely intend to stay again.
In gratitude, JL
We enjoyed our stay. We'll definaitely stay again if we are down that say. Thank You! CB
We will be back some day. You've done a great job in updating the campground. The bath house is extremely clean, which is very important. See you, again.
J and D S
Comments: Wanted to thank you for your great hospitality to us. We are so pleased to add to your many compliments of great facilities Jand D

[VIDEO] President Obama goes for a walk and DC residents, tourists freak out!
"Are you real," the woman asked.
The Leader of the Free World, US President Barack Obama went for a walk the other day to some meetings at the Department of the Interior, and along the way, he chatted up tourists, Americans, DC residents and more.
He even gave a few kids some White House M&M's. Chances are good they probably weren't eaten.
Some people thought he was some wax figure. Others thought he was a look-a-like, although, in this town, look-a-likes don't walk with a complete Secret Service detail, snipers, assorted other law enforcement agencies and waiting armored vehicles within just a few feet.
"How's business," Obama asked a tourist food truck vendor who was clearly in some sort of shock.
He didn't pick up a t-shirt with his likeness on it, or a cold pop. But the vendor did say business was "good..."
Motorcades are a regular thing in DC... but for a President to just go for a walk... now that's something you don't see every day. And despite your political leanings or feelings, running into the President out for a walk on a Spring day... is a pretty cool thing.
HT: Lindsay Holst, The White House.

CHERYL COLE'S spectacular swan dive on The Voice was meant to boost the
flagging BBC1 talent show — but sadly the ratings dropped with her.
The former X Factor judge's TV comeback — which saw her leap into the arms of
male dancers as she performed new track Call My Name — was watched by just
5.1million viewers.
The figure is 1.3million down on last Saturday.
Bosses had hoped the £22million show's ratings slide would stop after rival
ITV1 show Britain's Got Talent ended. But last night ratings started on just
three million.
Last month The Voice peaked with a huge 11.8million viewers.
But the live shows have seen viewers switch off in their millions. Now it has
shed more than 50 per cent of viewers.
The 5.1million figure looks even more embarrassing given that a huge
9.7million fans tuned in to see Engelbert Humperdinck's spectacular failure
at Eurovision.
There was some good news for The Voice chiefs, though.
The show managed to win in its slot against the Norway v England football
match which peaked at 4.2m viewers.
After The Voice ended, the England match hit a viewing high of 6.6m.
A source said: "There is no beating around the bush here — The Voice ratings
are a dire embarrassment. Obviously the weather has played a big part, but
the truth is fans just haven't connected with the judges or the acts.
Whoever wins the show probably won't even have a career."
How ratings have dived
Week 4: 12.1 million
Week 5: 11.6 million
Week 6: 10.3 million
Week 7: 9.1 million
Week 8/9: 6.4 million
Week 10: 5.1 million

Barclays looks for securities partner
Related topics
British bank Barclays is seeking a mainland partner to set up an investment banking venture that will take advantage of the fast growth of China's capital market where the likes of Goldman Sachs and UBS already have operations.
People familiar with the matter told the South China Morning Post that Barclays was considering more than a dozen Chinese securities firms with a view to a possible partnership, including Chongqing-based Southwest Securities.
Beijing is opening up the financial services industry to foreign investors, allowing them to take up to a 49 per cent stake in securities ventures on the mainland. The liberalisation was announced last week during the annual Sino-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing.
In comparison with its major competitors, Barclays is considered a latecomer to the investment banking business on the mainland.
Although the British bank has a good relationship with the state-owned China Development Bank, which is a minority Barclays shareholder, that arrangement is more about investment opportunities in the global natural resources sector. Barclays is well known in the banking industry for its trading expertise in commodities.
'It is late but it's better than nothing,' said one person of the Barclays move who declined to be identified as he was not authorised to speak to the media.
On Monday, a Barclays spokesman told the Post the bank hopes to have a securities venture on the mainland at some point but declined to comment further.
A total of 13 foreign financial institutions have set up securities ventures on the mainland in the past decade. Goldman Sachs and UBS were considered early birds, while last year Wall Street banks including J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley won Beijing's approval to establish securities ventures .
Before last week's announcement about foreign ownership in mainland-based securities ventures, the maximum stake a foreign institution could hold in such a joint venture was 33 per cent, according to Chinese financial regulations.
The move to permit foreign stakes in securities ventured up to 49 per cent signals Beijing has become more relaxed about foreign shareholders having more control, or even de facto management control, of their joint ventures. That is seen as a way of improving the business expertise and management level of domestic securities firms.
Part of the reason Barclays was late in joining the industry was that it was keen to have a controlling stake in any joint venture, so it could have the right to appoint senior executives, said the people familiar with the matter.
Now, with the easing of the financial regulation, Barclays feel it can more easily win control of a joint venture on the mainland. 'In fact, a controlling stake doesn't necessarily mean 51 per cent. For example, if you have three shareholders in the venture and you own 49 per cent, you are the big boss,' said one of the people.
Global investment banks are allowed to underwrite domestically listed A-shares or bonds for big Chinese companies through their securities ventures.
Beijing has said it wants to boost trading volume in its main onshore capital and currency market in Shanghai in the next three years and to make Shanghai a leading global financial centre by 2020.

Phil Wainewright at ZDNet sees the potential in the API / Live platform:
"Most intriguing of all, though, is the mention of open APIs for the Live platforms. Perhaps I misheard this. Can Microsoft be seriously suggesting that partners and customers will be able to connect to these services from any platform, and mash them up however they like (subject to paying the required subscription fees or accepting the obligatory advertising, whichever applies)? I'm not sure that Microsoft really does have the nerve to carry this through, but it should: its consummate expertise at fostering developer ecosystems could really light a fire under its on-demand platform if it gets the API offering right. That would make today's announcement one of those landmark dawn-of-a-new-era moments: the day the great Microsoft mash-up began."

Author's Notes: XD I was originally going to write a story about how grumpy 5 can be if he's woken up, but somehow it ended up being a story about their daughter 45. 45's purpose is 'To Unite Us...' which means she has to go on a journey to find other stitch-punks and bring them all together in harmony. Trust me, it will not be an easy task. 13, 42 and 45 belong to me

45's purpose is 'To Unite Us...' which means she has to go on a journey to find other stitch-punks and bring them all together in harmony.
Trust me, it will not be an easy task.
13, 42 and 45 belong to me
Parent Pains
Slowly, 9's optics opened and stared ahead at the person in front of him as he allowed the rest of his gears to wake up. He smiled a bit sleepily before he leaned forward and planted a small peck to the side of his lover's head. A slight grunt came from the sleeping figure as he sleepily raised a hand and pushed 9 away slightly. 9 would've chuckled if he wasn't sure that he would run the risk of waking the other, and so he slipped carefully out of their bed and left the darkness of their bedroom.
It took a moment for 9's optics to adjust to the morning light that streaked through the library windows. With his optics adjusted he then walked down the hallway where he would find his daughter, hopefully awake and ready for the day. After much pestering and batting of the eyelashes, 45 had finally managed to convince 5 to let her go out into the emptiness and do what she was meant to. When they had last taken 45 out into the emptiness, she'd been eaten by a snake beast. 5 had been in hysterics but with 7's help, they had saved her from the belly of the beast.
Since then, 5 had been strict with 45's closeness to the emptiness and had at one point even banned her from going up to the watchtower. Over the course of time, she had been pestering 5 with begging and her ever perfected technique of the puppy dog eyes. However, 9 had to work the hardest to get 5 to loosen up to the idea. He'd gotten 7 to teach her more on fighting and she was a fierce fighter, almost as good of a fighter as her mentor. After watching a spar between 7 and 45, 5 had finally accepted the fact that she was going to be leaving at some point if she had his permission or not.
9 knocked softly on his daughter's door before poking his head in. She sat in her room, unaware that her father had come in as she laid on her stomach on the floor, looking under her bed.
"Come on, where is it?" She asked herself, crawling more under her bed.
9 could only guess what his daughter was looking for as he glanced to the corner of her room.
"It's in the same place you always leave it." 9 said with an amused tone. 45 yelped in surprise and hit her head on the bed above her before she came out from under it.
"Good morning daddy." She looked up at him with a smile before she looked to the opposite corner and shook her head.
"I already looked there."
9 leaned smugly against the frame of her door and pointed to the corner he'd looked at.
"...Oh! That corner!" 45 said as she jumped up then and went to her satchel, beginning to dig through it.
"Are you sure you're the one to go look for other stitch-punks?" 9 said with a chuckle before he walked into his daughter's room.
"Absolutely." She muttered before she pulled out her glowing meter and looked down at it, then frowning.
"It's still empty besides us..."
9 walked over to his daughter and stood over her, looking down at the meter. On it were nine dots. The two of them, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and her twin boys.
"You know, this is the real reason why your mother doesn't want you to go out." 9 said as he put a hand on his daughter's shoulder comfortingly.
"Mom's just a worry wart." 45 said with a huff, then standing and putting the meter back into her satchel.
"I don't want you to go either you know. You don't know if there is actually other stitch-punks out there." 9 said, then moving to sit on her bed.
"I'll never know unless I go out and look." 45 replied, putting on her satchel then.
"I know."
"And that's the difference between you and mom. You understand why I have to do this. Mom just wants to keep me locked away here." She then turned to her father, seeming a bit mad.
"You know that's not true." 9 said, becoming a bit upset with his daughter for even assuming such a thing.
"5 was locked up for most of his life because of fear. and he would never lock you up like that."
45 just gave a slight huff and looked away from her father. Static was apparent between them, as if a fight would start any second before there was a soft knock at the door.
"Come in."
5 walked in then, his optic glancing down at the ground in a bit of a guilty manner. From this look, 9 knew that 5 must have been standing outside the door and had listened to the whole conversation.
"Are you two ready?" 5 asked before he looked up at 9.
"I know you're not, your bag and weapons are still in the room."
9 nodded before he then stood. He pondered on just leaving 5 in the room with their daughter, but decided that 45 was a powder keg at the moment and 5 might just start the fuse.
5 glanced at 9 before he looked down again.
5 walked over to the other and 9 gently took his hand, leading him out of the room.
They were silent the entire walk to their bedroom but when 9 shut the door behind them, 5 broke the silence.
"Why does our daughter hate me?" 5 muttered sadly as he sat on the foot of their bed.
"She doesn't hate you." 9 replied as he sat next to 5 and began to rub his back softly.
"Apparently she does. I've never known 45 to speak with such malice about anyone, b-b-but me..." 5 rested his elbows on his legs, then burying his face in his hands.
"Come on 5, she's a teenager. She doesn't know what you had to go through, what we had to go through." 9 whispered as he continued to rub his lover's back.
"I...I d-d-don't want to l-l-lose her to the f-f-fabrication machine...Sh-She's too young..." If stitch-punk's had the ability to cry, 5 would have been crying by now. Instead, his body trembled and he stuttered as he spoke.
"I know."
"I-It's silly be afraid o-of s-s-something we killed y-years ago. B-But...w-what if there's an-another one out there...? W-What if s-s-she ends up l-like the others?"
It'd been awhile since 9 had thought about the three souls that had been lost to the fabrication machine. Their losses had affected them all, but 5 still had nightmares about the day when he watched the talisman suck out the soul of his mentor, the one man that had been like a father to him.
"We've all prepared her well. Fighting, Scouting, Healing. And she has more common sense then I did a long time ago."
Just then, there was a knock on the door and 5 composed himself just before their daughter poked her head in.
"I'm ready to go." 45 smiled softly and the two parent's nodded silently, getting their things together.
Before they left, 45 said her good byes to the other occupants of the tower. First she said bid farewells to her seniors. It was a tearful good-bye between 7 and 45, as 7 was her idol and mentor and it was just as tearful between 3 and 4 who had taught her so much about the past. 45 hadn't been close to 6 for quite awhile however, having been the closest to him when she was just a toddler and needed someone to draw with. Still, she gave him a tight hug despite his tenseness. Then she said good bye to the twins that she considered to be like her younger brothers, 13 and 42. They were barely toddlers, but she loved them. She gave the two boys hugs and promised to return to see them with presents and stories.
Then the three of them left. 5 lead the group quietly as 45 and 9 walked next to each other, talking quietly about everything that 45 was expected to know for her travels. The pair planned to lead their daughter past the destroyed factory, for it was the furthest that any of them had traveled, and then they would exchange their farewells.
After 9 was sure that she knew everything she should, he began to joke with her.
"Now, if you meet someone you like a lot, you have to bring them back for us to meet. I refuse to have you come back and tell me you're pregnant without me at least knowing the person first."
45 laughed at this and assured her father that this wouldn't happen before 5 suddenly stopped in front of the factory.
"Well, I guess th-" 45 began before 5 shook his head and held out his hand for her to remain silent.
The trio remained standing there in silence, 5 watching the factory carefully before a red eye suddenly shone from the ruins.
"Run for cover! Quickly!" 5 instructed before he turned to the duo and they began to run.
45 then paused and turned back to the beast.
"No, I'm not running any longer!" She claimed before grabbing her spear. From what she could tell, it was a cat beast though this one was much larger then the ones she had seen before.
"45! You get over here this instant!" 5 shouted, though he sounded more panicked then angry.
"No!" She then ran at the cat beast, ready to attack. The cat beast however had different ideas and raised its mighty claw before it swooped down and grabbed up 45. She yelped in surprise and dropped her spear, struggling to be released then. The cat beast raised the girl to examine her more closely before it opened its muzzle and roared.
Just then a needle flew into the cat beast's mouth and struck a wire, causing the cat beast to roar out in pain and look in the direction of 5. It shocked 9 to see that 5 had moved away from him at some point, when he'd been clinging to his arm just a moment ago.
"Drop her!" 5 demanded, showing a fierceness that 9 had never seen on him before.
The cat beast obliged to the demand and bounded after 5, making the healer turn and run. 9 took this chance to run to 45.
"Are you alright?" He asked in a panic as he helped her up, dusting her off.
"I had everything under control." 45 said a bit stubbornly.
"Yea, right. What's the first rule for fighting a cat beast?" 9 said, looking at his daughter with a bit of anger.
"Use the element of surprise." She admitted reluctantly.
"And what didn't you do?!"
"Use the element of surprise?"
A mechanical roar drew their attention to the immediate danger that 5 was most likely experiencing then.
"Mom!" The pair shouted simultaneously, 9 taking off then. 45 hesitated for a moment, picking up her spear before following after her father.
When they arrived on the scene, they were horrified to see that 5 had at some point gotten caught by the larger cat beast and was currently being shaken about in the beast's jaw. 9's optics widened before he looked around quickly. A quick scoop and toss of a pebble drew it's attention to 9.
"Here kitty kitty." 9 taunted, throwing another pebble at the cat beast.
The cat beast growled, still holding it's prey in it's mouth as it then approached 9. 9 didn't think to run, just trying to figure out a way to get the beast to release 5. He threw another pebble blindly at the cat beast and had managed to break the glass that covered it's red eye. It roared out in pain once more and dropped 5 to the ground, 9 quickly running over to his unconscious lover.
"5! Wake up! 5!" 9 shook 5 in a bit of panic but didn't have much time to worry about 5 as the beast then approached them, it's eye flickering as it looked down on them.
It was ready to deal a final blow to them both before a shout from the beast's back distracted it.
"Leave my parents alone!" 45 shouted then, her spear the stabbing through the creature's back and hitting the main power core of the cat beast. The cat beast struggled for a moment before it shut down, falling onto its side.
45 then jumped off of the cat beast's back, looking quite proud of herself.
"Rule one when fighting a cat beast, use the element of surprise." She recited.
When she got no congratulations she looked to her parents and saw just how serious the situation had become.
"5...wake up." 9 muttered as he shook him.
5's optic opened slowly before it shut once more.
"I-I-It h-h-hurts..."
"Shh, it's okay. Everything will be alright..."
45 watched her 9 and realized that she had never seen him look as sad as he did then. She walked over then and took off her satchel.
"I-Is 45 o-o-ok?" 5 muttered.
"I'm fine mom, thanks to you." 45 said as she pulled out a needle and some thread.
5 opened his optic to look over his daughter and after making sure that her claim was true, he closed it once more.
45 then began to seal up the holes that the cat beast had put into 5. Soon, all the holes were sewn up and she put her supplies away.
"Are you going to be alright? Should I go back to the library with you" 45 asked, watching with worry as 9 helped 5 up.
"No...No." 5 then walked over to 45 and gave her a tight hug.
"Just...just go on ahead...and...and be safe on your journey alright?" 5 said, his optic closed.
"I...I'll miss you mom..." 45 said as she hugged 5 back.
9 smiled and waited for the two to separate before he then walked over to 45 and gave her a tight hug as well.
"Now, I know you know the rules, just remember to use them alright?" 9 said as he pulled away. 45 nodded and smiled at her father.
"I promise I'll make you both proud..."
A blinking sound caught their attention and 45 went to her backpack, fishing out her meter. It showed the three dots that represented her and her parents, but it also showed two dots rather far off. She stared at her meter before she looked up.
"Go." 5 said with a smile, leaning on 9 as he still felt weak.
"We'll be here waiting for you."
45 smiled before she put her satchel back on and began to walk towards the two dots on the meter. She paused on top of the hill and looked back to 9 and 5, waving before she then disappeared.
5 sighed softly and leaned more heavily on 9.
"Let's go home and get some sleep."
9 picked up 5's bag and chuckled.
"I don't know, I feel like we should start working on having another."
5 gave 9 a flustered look before he crossed his arms.
"Only if you carry it this time."
9 chuckled, giving 5 a gentle kiss before leading him away.
"Oh 5, you're such a joker."
Author's Note: Seriously 5, you're such a joker. XD

Round our way, it's at the swimming pool that you first realise school's out with a vengeance. Adults calmly swimming laps are dive-bombed by nine-year-olds whose leaps threaten to compress one's skull on the pool floor.
Having endured the kicking, scratching and punching, and queues for the showers, one is met in the changing rooms with a barrage of ear-splitting shrieks and the kind of language which would make Ben Elton blush. These days they do answer back. The other day I saw a seven-year-old sitting on an open window ledge on the seventh-floor of our block of flats. When I told him to get down, he and his older sister came over to rap my shins with bits of stick. I left them to their suicidal play.
Shortly after, I watched a girl come careering down the Tube escalator on her skates. Against my better judgment, I said, 'Don't come running to me if you break your leg.' 'I wasn't thinking of coming to you,' she retorted.
But it's out on the street that the danger really lies, with screeching skate-boarders or chuckers of explosive crackers, and street-corner gatherings which last into the night.
Don't these kids have homes to go to? Or are their parents just relieved to have a few hours of peace to themselves? By late August the teen tribes - with their peculiar mutated wolf whistles and tagging pens - are running amok. Recently I watched as a passing posse wrought havoc along our street, setting off car and office alarms, setting fire to a skip, and smashing a few bottles for good measure. Their wake of destruction was followed minutes later by bemused fire brigade and police.
Urban dystopias and lack of facilities notwithstanding, I find it hard to imagine that I might ever have joined one of these careening under-age hordes.
As I say, I'm not anti-child, although they usually have to be under five to engage my goodwill; after that, when usefully employed at school, they're fine in small doses. But let the cages of education open and the most liberal tolerance levels plummet to a misanthropic low.
At such moments I turn again to the Master's words.
When asked his opinion of a play which featured an infant thespian, Coward advised: 'Cut the last scene, and the child's throat.'
Thank heavens for September, when the streets of London will be safe again.Reuse content

Proposals for a £400million, 50,000-seater stadium and shopping complex in Kirkby, in association with Tesco, were rejected by Communities and Local Government Secretary John Denham on Thursday. A ground-share with near-neighbours Liverpool has been raised again but neither club is particularly keen on the prospect.
"The first thing to say, in terms of Kirkby, is that the chapter is over and the book is closed," Kenwright told evertonfc.com.
"The motivation has only ever been to improve the finances of the football club. They need to be stabilised, improved and expanded.
"As everyone knows, the club doesn't currently have a chairman or a board in a position to do those things.
"We have had some of the best financial experts helping us with our search for investment for some considerable time now - and that will continue."
Kenwright added on evertonfc.com: "Inevitably the search will throw up questions about where the club will play its football in years to come.
"And the response will be: 'We are happy to be at Goodison Park while we regroup, reassess and consider all options available to us there and possibly elsewhere'.
"At the end of the day, the club's finances will be key to everything."

Stepping up the pressure on Iran's leaders at an impromptu appearance in the White House briefing room, Mr Obama said the United States and five other world powers were "moving along fairly quickly" to tighten the screws on Teheran.
He indicated that his administration had made headway in persuading Russia to overcome its traditional resistance to imposing new sanctions on Iran, even if he was uncertain about whether China would join the other powers.
China now appears to be the sole holdout on sanctions among the five veto-wielding members of the UN Security Council -- the other four are the United States, Russia, Britain and France.
Germany is the sixth power involved in the negotiations, but is not a Security Council permanent member.
Iran announced that it has begun work to enrich uranium to 20 per cent, which it says is for a medical research reactor in Teheran.
The move suggested Iran was spurning a four-month-old proposal by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to ship most of its stocks of 3.5-per cent enriched uranium abroad to be further upgraded to fuel the reactor.
Experts say that once Iran enriches uranium to 20 per cent, it can proceed to the 93 per cent needed to produce nuclear weapons since the technology is the same. Iran maintains the enrichment is purely for civilian energy purposes.
"Despite the posturing that the nuclear power is only for civilian use... they in fact continue to pursue a course that would lead to weaponization, and that is not acceptable to the international community," Mr Obama said.
After trying to engage Iranian leaders and persuade them to accept the IAEA deal to defuse the crisis, Mr Obama said the world must be prepared to pressure Iran to change course, even if the "door is still open" to negotiations.
The world community "has bent over backwards" to accommodate Iran and yet is still ready to accept the Islamic Republic as a member of "good standing," he said.
"What we are going to be working on over the next several weeks is developing a significant regime of sanctions that will indicate to them how isolated they are from the international community as a whole," Mr Obama said.
In Moscow, the powerful head of Russia's national security council, Nikolai Patrushev, said Tehran's announcement that it had started work to produce 20 per cent enriched uranium cast doubt on its claims not to be pursuing weapons.
US officials have discussed sanctions targeted at Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which is responsible for the country's nuclear program and is behind the crackdown on anti-government protests there.
The loudest call for sanctions came from Israel where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for "crippling" measures against Teheran during a gathering of European Union ambassadors in Jerusalem.

Cool Summer Cuts into Tiverton Beach Revenue
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
TIVERTON, R.I. (AP) — Revenue at Tiverton's two town-run beaches is way down this summer, and officials say the weather is mostly to blame.
Town Administrator Matthew Wojcik says below-normal temperatures have kept people off Fogland and Grinnell's beaches.
He says Grinnell's Beach was projected to bring in about $10,000 during a 10-week season while Fogland was budgeted to bring in about $16,000.
He tells The Herald News that while revenue from Fogland is close to normal, revenue from Grinnell's is off by almost half.
He acknowledges that higher fees may have played a role. While town residents can still get into the beaches for free, fees for non-residents doubled on July 1 to $10 per car on weekdays and $20 on weekends.

The American frontier West has been mythologized from the start of European colonization, and it still exists differently in our imaginations. When I think about it, my vision of the West—some of the things that set it apart from other parts of the county—most immediately calls to mind jagged mountain peaks, crappy roads, drinking cheap beer by quiet lakesides, scratchy AM country radio stations, pickups, haying season and hounddogs.
The upcoming West: A True Romance art event, curated by designer Julia La Tray, asked several artists to consider what the West means to them. A poem on the event's Facebook page sums up some of the seemingly disparate parts of Western culture: "Convenience stores, cowgirls, genocide/ Trophy homes, single wides, freight trains, pack trains/ Pow-wows, super fund sites, beasts of the air and field/ Developers, ranchers, back-to-the-landers."
Fittingly for such an expansive topic, all sorts of artistic endeavors are included in the West: A True Romance evening. Artists like Chris La Tray, Adelaide Every, Courtney Blazon, Caitlin Hofmeiester and Nate Biehl are presenting paintings, drawings and photography. Authors including Sterling HolyWhiteMountain and Katie Kane are reading selected fiction. Plus, there's a jewelry display and fashion show by Julia La Tray's label DonkeyGirl.Oh, and there's supposed to be whiskey. Now there's an integral part of Western culture. —Kate Whittle
