UPDATE 1-Officials say Obamacare website improves as Republicans pounce
(Adds Obama comments, paragraphs 4-5))
By David Morgan and Caren Bohan
WASHINGTON Nov 18 (Reuters) - The race intensified on Monday between Republicans trying to discredit President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law and officials trying to repair the flawed website crucial to the success of his policy reform.
While Obama administration officials said they had made significant improvements to HealthCare.gov, Republicans began appealing to the public on Monday for personal accounts of negative experiences with the Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare.
The government has promised the site will be operating smoothly for the vast majority of users by Nov. 30, so that potentially millions of people can enroll by a Dec. 15 deadline for coverage that would begin on Jan. 1.
"Eventually it's going to be the easiest place to shop for healthcare," Obama told a call on Monday put together by Organizing for Action, the group that grew out of his 2012 re-election campaign..
Obama said the site was getting better every week, but urged supporters to help get people signed up for care by mail, phone, and in person as well.
Congressional aides say the strategy by Republicans in the House of Representatives is aimed at putting a more human aspect to opposition arguments that have been largely abstract up to now.
"Facing hardships as a result of Obamacare? We want to hear your story," said a message posted to the website of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, a panel led by Republican Representative Fred Upton, whose bill to allow insurers to renew canceled insurance policies won approval on Friday from House lawmakers, including 39 Democrats.

Isabella Rossellini's Vogue Italia Cover Disappoints (Forum Buzz)
Steven Meisel shot Isabella Rossellini for the June cover of Vogue Italia, their take on Vogue's Health Initiative campaign. The problem is that Rossellini was photographed in such a way that the image looks dated and unappealing. As stereo complained, "It looks like 1992, not 2012."

- Sydney siege ends: live updates
- Australian blames gun laws for worsening incident
- Martin Place siege: what we know and don't know
- Martin Place gunman identified as Man Haron Monis
- Three dead as police storm Lindt cafe
Sydney's terror siege fought with the domestic dramas of a former Spice Girl on the UK's newspaper front pages on Tuesday, while newspapers in the northern hemisphere gave generous coverage to the tragedy.
Going to press hours after the siege's bloody end, some of London's Tuesday papers looked for deeper meaning, and explanations of how it could have happened.
"Why was 'hate sheikh' at large?" asked London's The Daily Telegraph on its front page, saying Australian intelligence chiefs faced questions over the "Islamist fanatic" behind the violence.
Others simply reported the news as it had unfolded - the morning commuter paper Metro went with photos of hostages escaping the café above the headline "Run for your life", the Independent did the same over "Terror strikes at the heart of Sydney".
The Guardian went with a straight news story – with a profile of the "marginalised" hostage-taker on an inside page – and The Times reported a "Bloody end to Sydney siege", saying "A radical Muslim cleric [had] subjected Australia to 16 hours of terror".
The red-top tabloids The Sun and the Mirror, however, chose to focus on ex-Spice Girl Mel B's marital crisis.
The Mirror did find room for a front-page pointer to the "Jihadi hostage bloodbath" report inside, while the Sun promised its readers the "Vile sex secrets of Jihad gunman".
The Daily Star also had only a slim text pointer on the siege, reserving most of its front page for gossip about Mel B.
The Daily Express found room for a picture and a pointer to a report on the siege inside, reserving its lead story for the discovery of a "New pill to fight ageing".
And The Daily Mail did not feature the story at all on page 1 - it led with a story attacking Labour's position on Blair-era torture and rendition.
In the US, The New York Times ran a photo of the shop window of the Lindt cafe with a hostage holding up the black flag containing the Islamic profession of faith.
The Washington Post also carried a front-page picture of hostages escaping from the cafe hours before police moved in.
In India, the siege dominated the news, with country's three main cable networks providing continuous coverage of the story, which was also featured prominently on the front pages of Tuesday's national newspapers.
India's biggest-selling English newspaper The Times of India led with the story "2 Indians among several hostages rescued as cops storm Sydney cafe"
The Times of India also carried a picture of one of the hostages, Ankireddy Vishwakanath Reddy.
The Deccan Herald also led with story and carried interviews with Mr Reddy's parents and relatives who expressed their relief at their son's rescue.
In southern India, The Bangalore Mirror and The Hindu newspaper, which is headquartered in Chennai, the Sydney was also the main front page story. The Mirror, which has a large Muslim readership, also reported that the people of Sydney had reached out to its Muslim community.
The Hindu reported that security for the touring Indian cricket team had been lifted in the wake of the siege.

based on a true story: heart-break girl
this is based on a true story about a young girl, who's heart is broken many times in many different ways
Chapter one
moving, and losing
It was a warm evening, Kayleigh had just came home from school, she sat her bag down and when to her room, as she was watching t.v, her mother came into her room "kayleigh"
"yeah mum"
"how would you like to go, and live in Scotland?"
"yeah!" Kayleigh was so exited, her mum her brother her dad and herself all together living in scotland, she couldn't think of anything better, a few moments later, she when into her mum & dads room, her dad was crying, she didnt understand why, she thought he'd be happy, "daddy, why are you crying?"
"you and mummy are going to live in scotland"
"only for a little while daddy, if we don't like it, were coming back."
"no kayleigh, its for ever"
kayleigh felt as if some-one had come and smashed her into millions of tiny pieces with a hammer, she couldn't control the tears, the pored out of the eyes like she was over-flowing, she hugged her dad to comfort him and herself.
The very next day, she went to school, she was leaving that night, she had to tell her best friends Jackie, and jerry, they cried so much, kayleigh felt the same feeling as last night, she was over-flowing, someone got hold of the hammer again, that day at school they had a recorder concert, the next day they were going to bake bread in class, she was going to miss it, she was going to miss the last day of school, she was going to miss many fun days to come, the recorder concert went perfectly, her dad came to pick her up, and take her to the train station, the train was long and tiring, so boring and she couldnt sleep, she was thinking too much about that night, she kept picturing her dads face, the tears streaming down, she hadn't been to Scotland in years, her gran lived there, Had it changed? Were the people nice? Would she fit in at school? Would she make friends? questions were racing round in her head, Like go - karts running round and round but going no-where, all the exitement and anxiotey made her feel dizzy and axious, what would become of her?
Chapter 2
New Place, New Friends
About a month had gone by kayleigh was living with her grandma, she just started a new school, she wore a blue jumper a skirt white knee high socks and black shoes she was in primary six, Everyone remembers when they had a huge crush, well kayleigh had one on a boy called Benard Gibbs

text: NEW YORK, July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Iconix Brand Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ICON) ("Iconix" or the "Company") today announced that it has notified holders of each of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes") and 1.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes" and, together with the 2016 Notes, the "Notes") that such holders are eligible to convert the Notes, subject to the terms of (i) in the case of the 2016 Notes, the Indenture, by and among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company N.A., as Trustee ("BNY Mellon"), dated as of May 23, 2011 (the "2016 Notes Indenture") and (ii) in the case of the 2018 Notes, the Indenture, by and among the Company and BNY Mellon, dated as of March 18, 2013 (the "2018 Notes Indenture" and, together with the 2016 Notes Indenture, the "Indentures"). The conversion rights have been triggered as a result of the closing price per share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), exceeding $39.98 which is 130% of the conversion price for the 2016 Notes, and $40.12 which is 130% of the conversion price for the 2018 Notes, in each case for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on June 30, 2014. As a result of the triggering of such conversion rights, the Notes are convertible until September 30, 2014. Based on the current market value of the Notes, the Company does not anticipate a material portion of the Notes to be converted. Further, the Company has hedges for both Notes, which effectively increase the conversion price to Iconix to $40.62 in the case of the 2016 Notes, and $35.52 in the case of the 2018 Notes. Holders of the Notes who have questions relating to the conversion of the Notes or who wish to exercise their conversion right should contact BNY Mellon, the conversion agent for the Notes, at the following address and telephone number:

Bruker Launches Second Phase of SISCAPA-MALDI Collaboration
Bruker said today that it launched the second phase of an ongoing collaboration with SISCAPA Assays Technologies (SAT), intended to exploit the high throughput, robustness, and ease of use of Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, including tandem time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) instruments as an alternative to the nano-LC-MS technology now used in many SISCAPA (stable isotope standards and capture by anti-peptide antibodies) assays.
The value of the collaboration and other financial terms were undisclosed.
After focusing on confirming the utility and quantitative precision of the SISCAPA-MALDI workflow in the collaboration's first phase, Bruker said it plans to establish fully automated SISCAPA-MALDI capabilities in its demonstration facilities. The goal, Bruker said, was to allow potential customers to evaluate SISCAPA-MALDI instrumentation and workflows, as well as enable high-level applications and service support for such customers by Bruker staffers.
"This will enable Bruker, in partnership with SAT, to sell SISCAPA-MALDI MS to customers and to support the many enthusiastic early adopters who have expressed interest in this technology," Detlev Suckau, Ph.D., director of proteomics at Bruker's Bruker Daltonics unit.
Bruker and SAT said they plan to jointly investigate the development of new assays for the SISCAPA-MALDI workflow—especially assays relevant to clinical microbiology, since the companies' earlier work has shown that such assays could be run on the benchtop microflex LT, the same mass spectrometer employed in the Bruker MALDI Biotyper.
Additional SISCAPA assays will be validated and parameters, such as the limit of quantitation and limit of detection, will be determined. Successful validation and clearance for clinical use of such assays would immediately make them available to the more than 900 clinical microbiology laboratories worldwide that already have a MALDI Biotyper installed, the companies reason.
Bruker and SAT also plan to enable third-party collaborators to develop SISCAPA-MALDI assays for accurate quantification of their own protein targets, for use in research-use-only and clinical research environments. Such assays, according to Bruker, would be useful for customers, such as those wishing to pursue protein quantitation for process optimization or large-scale clinical validation of protein biomarkers.
Bruker and SAT published two papers resulting from their first collaboration phase. One paper, published January 2012 in the Journal of Proteome Research, demonstrated that SISCAPA MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry provided excellent precision for quantitation of proteins of interest, such as that for determination of high-value protein biomarkers. In such a case, the precision was equal to or better than that available in SISCAPA LC-MS/MS workflows, with the improved ease of use that comes from eliminating the need for LC and MS/MS.
The second paper, published in Clinical Chemistry, validated the quantitative precision for a larger cohort of clinically relevant samples, measuring the endogenous levels of protein C Inhibitor from serum samples of patients treated for prostate cancer. A summary of that work will be presented in a poster at the 12th Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) World Congress in Yokohama, Japan, where Bruker made its announcement of the second-phase SISCAPA collaboration.

Media Release
Autumn: the deadliest season on the road
- Autumn road toll the highest in an investigation of past five years
- Timely reminder to compare life insurance before heading off on Easter holidays
The chances of dying in a car crash are greatest in Autumn, new analysis from one of Australia's biggest comparison websites lifeinsurancefinder.com.au 1 has revealed.
More Australians are killed while driving during the three months from March to May than during any other season.
lifeinsurancefinder.com.au analysed data from the Department of Infrastructure and Transport's Australian Road Deaths Database. The investigation examined road fatality figures from 2009-2013 to find the deadliest months over the past five years.
A total of 6,616 people died on Australian roads in the past five years, with more than one in four during autumn (1,724), followed by spring (1,653 deaths).
Michelle Hutchison, Money Expert for lifeinsurancefinder.com.au said the figures were a sobering thought for those planning their Easter break.
"We are in the middle of the most dangerous season on our roads and with school holidays upon us, it is imperative to consider life insurance.
"Road deaths are tragic and always unexpected. People foolishly think it could never happen to them but last year alone a total of 1,196 people died on Australian roads.
"And that's why life insurance is so important – to protect against worst case scenarios like heading out on the road and not coming home," she said.
The lowest number of road deaths occurred in winter, according to the lifeinsurancefinder.com.au study.
Presently the rate of annual deaths per 100,000 population stands at 5.2. This figure has been steadily decreasing due to years of strategies to make the country's roads and drivers safer.
"Something as simple as not leaving the recommended safe following distance could change your life, or another driver's, completely.
"It just shows how truly random life can be and the burden for those who have lost loved ones on the road is amplified by financial hardship in their absence.
"Receiving the news that your husband/wife/mother has died in a road accident is unbearable enough without finding out they had no life insurance and your quality of life could be affected forever."
The research found holiday times don't have a direct link to the number of road deaths, perhaps due to the deterrent of double demerit points.
"Be a role model, practice safe driving habits and take out a life insurance policy," said Mrs Hutchison.
"According to lifeinsurancefinder.com.au, you can be covered for as little as $31 a month for a $500,000 policy, based on a non-smoker, 35 year-old male with a low-risk job. It's a relatively small expense which could protect the lives of your family in the unlikely event of death on the road."

Stay current on how construction activities will affect your travels
We recommend arriving at the airport two hours prior to your scheduled departure time - at the ticket counter no less than 90 minutes prior to departure. This additional time will ensure that you have ample time to park, arrive at the terminal, check in for your flight and proceed through the passenger security screening checkpoint in time to board your flight.
Here is how the current phase of our Gateway Transformation project may impact your upcoming travel experience.
Passenger Impact:
Here are some renderings of the finished project.
We are not currently aware of any roadway construction activities that will impact travel around the airport campus.
In 1995, the airport opened the viewing park at its current location on Kraft Avenue north of 52nd Street. Over the years it has become a popular spot for area workers to take a lunch break, or for families to pack a picnic and enjoy some time outdoors watching airplanes. Grand Rapids Kids Magazine voted the park the "Best Kept Secret in Grand Rapids" (July 2015). With its growth in popularity comes the need for an expansion. The current park has just over 50 parking spaces, picnic tables and trash receptacles for picnickers, and portable bathroom facilities. This renovation will add a pavilion, permanent restrooms, new seating areas, expanded parking, bus parking, and more.
The Airport Viewing Park should remain open during construction, but parking will be limited and — should closings occur — they will be posted via the Airport's social media accounts.

Warmer waters over the eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator and the resulting influence on the atmosphere indicate a strong, and perhaps historic, El Niño this winter and upcoming spring, according to the Orange County Office of Emergency Management.
What does this mean for Central Floridians? From a meteorological perspective, a direct relationship exists between the presence of a strong El Niño and increased winter storminess in Florida, mainly due to a southward shift in the position of the jet stream over North America. This increased storminess brings greater potential for severe weather with significant impacts.
Past strong El Niño events have been highly correlated with well above normal seasonal storminess across the entire Florida Peninsula between November and April. In fact, the two deadliest tornado outbreaks in state history occurred during El Niño conditions and resulted in the loss of 63 lives collectively. On February 22-23, 1998, there were 42 fatalities in Osceola, Orange and Seminole counties as a result of the F2 and F3 tornadoes that hit Central Florida between 11 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. On February 2, 2007, there were 21 fatalities in Lake and Volusia counties during what is referred to as the Ground Hog Day tornado outbreak.
"We must be prepared for the enhanced risk of severe weather and increased chances for strong-to-violent tornadoes and tornado outbreaks from now through the end of March," cautioned Keith Kotch, assistant manager at Orange County Office of Emergency Management. "We've already visited with meteorologists from local TV stations to discuss what should be included in their weather broadcasts. The goal is to provide the community with accurate information and ample warning if and when severe weather strikes."
In order to be prepared for severe weather, the Orange County Office of Emergency Management — which handles all hazard preparation and makes sure that the community and first responder teams are ready — recommends the following:
"We may not be able to absolutely and precisely predict the weather, however, watching or listening to weather alerts and making arrangements in advance to be in a safe place if severe weather approaches is paramount," said Kotch. "We know that El Niño conditions are present, so we must do our best to prepare and reduce the risk of injury and property damage."

The manual has a chart something like "10-30 to 20-50" but i've heard that it might improve the performance a bit if you go a bit lower "10-30" i use 15-50 Mobil 1 synthetic but my mechanic Motul and he is recomending it,,, but im not sure about it
10W-40 Amsoil is my pick
I think it is 10/50 if you are in a hot climate and 40 is you are in a cold climate. I am on 10/50 here in Florida.
keep good oil in it, keep it full and forget about it..
Oil weight is going to have such a low impact on the performance of the bike you would be really lucky to even be able to measure it.. keeping the correct amount of air in your tires is more important than oil weight..
The exception:
cold starts... in cold conditions (say <30 degrees) a 20wt or higher oil is going to make the starter strain its milk a bit.. a 10wt or even 0wt oil are easier on the cold start and lubrication of a motor.. Now why you would want to ride in these temps is beyond me but I am old....
I am using Mobil 4T 10w 40 synthetic did the oil change yesterday, this oil has a similar color to car oil. My last 2 oil change I used 10w 40 4t synthetic from a different brand, that oil was a different color it was red bike was leaking oil figured I didn't do something right in the rebuild after the accident, and just got use to watching my bike bleed when ever i put it on the kickstand, Not sure why but the leak stopped since the last oil change, so I got me a new brand of oil I am using probably dumb luck or I don't know what. Not sure why the same type of oil 10w 40 4T would be different colors from another anyone ???
All I've ever used was the 10W-40 Zuki. It might vary depending on where you live.
just put: Castrol R4 5w-40 as a winter oil, i read yr round. will prolly change to a 10w-40 in the spring....prolly Mobil 1 MXT4
Valvoline 10W40...works fine.
doesn't matter just make sure you have 4quarts of some type of oil in your bike. People make WAY to big deal about oil
its pretty hot over here, winter is 20-25c, i would love to get the new mobil 1 10w40 but we dont have it over here,,,, i'll give Motul 10w40 a try
I followed Mr Bogus's suggestion and now it wont start. When I open the oil fill plug I can see the hole is full right to the top. What gives.

Ellen Goodman, Proposition 71 and Abortion
Shockingly, we agree, but not really.
If there were one person in the world who I would say is my polar opposite, it is Ellen Goodman, the Washington Post's far, far left political columnist. I know when I read her column I would be willing to bet the family dog that she and I will not agree. Her opinions are mostly ridiculous in that they are deserving of ridicule.
So, I guess you can imagine that I almost fell out of my chair the other morning when I saw that she had written a column slamming California's Proposition 71 entitled "Putting Stem Cells on the Ballot". We were in agreement! Unbelievable!
Now I don't want to kick too much at an ally in opposition to this poorly written law, but her column makes it clear that her opposition isn't to the important parts of the Proposition, but rather to the procedure by which it is carried forth. The details behind why she disagrees with the Proposition bears no resemblance to why I oppose the Proposition. She describes the situation as follows:
Prop 71 is, as one editorial writer said, a Bronx cheer directed at the White House. It's the way a blue state can thumb its nose at a red president. As Robert Klein, a leader of the effort, says, "We can run a substitute national program." This week, even Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger gave his blessing to the initiative.
But even someone in favor of stem cells has to ask: Is this any way to run a science program?
This is the cost of thumbing that nose at the White House. The 30-page proposition would give $3 billion of public money to researchers -- $6 billion if you include interest -- over 10 years in a state that is cutting back on everything else. It would provide a constitutional right to stem cell research in a state without a constitutional right to health care.
As ethicist Lori Andrews says, "It's offering the worst of both worlds. It's asking the public to pay the check but leaving an unregulated biotech sector." And it would fund biotech research without promising any return to the public that paid for it. Not even for treatments that are bound to be extremely expensive.
This is the price tag of a Bronx cheer. The research in California is not about using spare embryos from in vitro clinics, but about cloned embryos. More troubling, says Andrews, is the researchers' attempt to "exempt themselves from laws on human subjects, including informed consent." There is no deference to the risks to the women who would be egg donors.
Now, I certainly agree with what she is saying in terms of the problems with the proposition, but these problems are not the main reason that people in California should oppose this proposition. The problems she cites are political problems in the bill that can be written around if the initiative fails. We can work out how the money is allocated in a rewritten proposition. We can work out whether women are given informed consent in the next attempt to have a follow-up, similar initiative approved if Proposition 71 goes down to defeat. What cannot be legislated around is that this proposition targets embryonic stem cells that have two major problems: (1) they do not appear to provide much hope for the cures that are claimed, and (2) they require the taking of a human life (an embryonic life). These problems are the core of the proposition, and cannot be modified without destroying the entire Proposition.
I am certain that, given Ms. Goodman's longstanding opposition to anything that hints at the curtailing of abortion, that she would not agree that the two problems I have noted above would be cause to jettison the proposition. She suggests as much in her column when she says:
It's rare that science ever gets on the political agenda, but stem cells came into this election laden with all the baggage of the abortion argument. The cells harvested from 5-day-old fertilized eggs are widely believed to offer hope for curing diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's. But the pro-life opponents have declared that the eggs are human and harvesting them is murder.
Note that it is "widely believed" that these eggs offer hope for curing diseases. What is widely believed, however, does not necessarily comport with the reality. Everything that I have read suggests that those who are most interested in finding cures for the diseases mentioned don't see embryonic stem cells as offering much hope. Adult stem cells are available and seem to do the job. My question for Ms. Goodman is very simple: why do you say that it is "widely believed"? Is it widely believed because you want it to be so? Or is it that it is widely believed because you and other members of the left have told us, contrary to the evidence, that embryonic stem cells offer such hope and so the public has come to believe that it is true?
Moreover, I long ago came to the conclusion that Ms. Goodman has no respect for people who are pro-life. By referring to the embryos (which are, by definition, living human beings) as having the "baggage of the abortion argument," Ms. Goodman makes it clear that the arguments that these cells are, in fact, living human beings entitled to protection of life are not worth considering. She has no problem with ending the life of these embryos in the same way that she has no problem ending the life of the human being in the womb at the convenience of the mother. I cannot fathom actually believing such a thing.
One last thing that I found interesting about her column was her criticism of President Bush's policy of allowing embryonic stem cell research to proceed in the private sector but his refusal to fund it with federal money. She said:
The Bush administration's policy created a strange two-track ethical code. The president froze federal funding on the grounds that embryos were human beings. But in the private sector, venture capitalists were left virtually unregulated. In its own ethical terms, says Boston University's George Annas, it was as if the government had declared that murder was illegal but a privately funded mafia was OK.
What is most interesting about this quote is that this is really the same type of policy that is in place regarding abortions. Under our system, the private sector is free to provide abortion procedures virtually without regulation (thanks to Supreme Court rulings), but the federal government refuses to fund the procedure. Isn't this a similar system to how embryonic stem cell research is proceeding? Isn't this a case of "the government" (through the executive branch) declaring "that murder was illegal" but (through the Supreme Court) declaring that "a privately funded mafia was OK"? If she has a problem with this system, shouldn't she start opposing privately funded abortions because the executive branch believes it to be murder and we don't want a governmental schizophrenia in this area?

Red Sox stars Hanley Ramirez and Mookie Betts were ill and out of the lineup. The Red Sox were also without shortstop Xander Bogaerts and reliever Matt Barnes, who are on the bereavement list.
The Tigers blew a 4-0 lead in the eighth, when Pablo Sandoval gave the Red Sox the lead with a three-run homer off Francisco Rodriguez. But what the Detroit bullpen had squandered, the Boston relievers quickly gave back.

Nottingham Forest 0 v 1 Hull City
Nottingham Forest's 18-month unbeaten home League run finally came to an end after being beaten by a determined second-half performance from Hull City, in their first visit to The City Ground for 30 years.
Forest had more of the possession and created most of the chances in the first half but neither keeper was seriously tested and the half finished goalless.
It was Hull that finally broke the deadlock in the second half and after that they looked the better side as they defended in numbers to frustrate Forest's efforts to get an equalizer.
Forest made a quick break in the second minute and the flag stayed down for Robert Earnshaw whose volley from 20 yards went over the keeper but also over the crossbar.
And Hull threatened a minute later from the corner. The ball was headed away by Marcus Tudgay but came back in and was blocked amongst a crowd of players.
Forest came close in the tenth minute from Lewis McGugan's corner. The ball came in to Paul Anderson whose shot was deflected towards Earnshaw who sent it over the bar.
And they had another chance from the corner when Chris Cohen's ball was punched away, but only as far as Majewski who sent the ball flying towards goal where it was blocked by Anthony Gerrard.
Forest created some nice build-up play which culminated in Anderson laying the ball back to Tudgay, who shot straight at the keeper from the edge of the penalty area.
Good end-to-end football saw both teams create chances, with Forest pressing harder, but without getting a shot on goal.
Strong defending by Forest in stoppage time cleared the danger, with Matt Fryatt's effort blocked by Cohen, after a late push by Hull.
In the final minute a good cross by Cohen into the box threatened, but the ball was headed behind by Gerrard to stop Earnshaw getting on the end of it.
It was a lively start to the second half with both sides pushing forward in an attempt to break the deadlock.
Forest won a free kick just outside the penalty area, to the left of the D, when Cohen went down under the challenge of Liam Rosenior.Earnshaw took it well and the ball flicked off the top of the wall and over the bar for a corner.
It was Hull who finally broke the deadlock after James Chester won the ball in midfield and sent the ball through to Fryatt who ran into the penalty area and rolled the ball pas a diving Camp and into the far corner of the net.
Forest made a substitution straight after with Garath McCleary replacing McGugan and five minutes later Niall Rodney replaced Earnshaw.
Forest created a chance when Anderson sent the ball out wide to McCleary who sent it back into the box where Gunter ran onto the ball, but his effort was blocked by a solid Hull defence.
Forest continued to put pressure on but with an equalizer eluding them Dele Adebola became the final substitute for Forest, replacing Anderson.
Hull frustrated the Forest players and supporters alike as they wasted as much time as the referee would allow them.
As time started to run out, Forest got a shot in when Cohen's ball into the box found Morgan's head, forcing Mannone to dive to his left to make the save.
And Majewski's effort from a tight angle across the face of goal was only just wide of the far post.
There was a loud cheer as the fourth official's board showed five minutes stoppage time and the home crowd got behind their team.
There was one last chance when Gerrard put the ball out for a corner and with Camp coming all the way up, Forest had all 11 payers inside the box, but Hull were able to keep the ball out.

Is there a way to deal with Out of Office messages in the Help Desk?

The Nasdaq OMX Group recently announced changes to its Nasdaq Dividend Achievers Indexes.
Hasbro (HAS), a mainstay in the Dividend Leaders screen to the left, and Westar Energy (WR), also a mainstay in the Utility Leaders screen, are new additions to the Nasdaq U.S. Dividend Achievers 50 Index.
Hasbro, with a market capitalization just north of $7 billion, is the No. 2 toy and game maker behind Mattel (MAT), but Hasbro has been making inroads in the girl-toy market, an area long dominated by Mattel with its Barbie and American Girl dolls.
Hasbro reported lukewarm Q4 results on Feb. 10. Investors didn't mind, though, as the stock soared 4.5% in heavy volume on the results. Earnings and sales missed estimates, but Wall Street was encouraged by news that girl-toy sales rose for the sixth straight quarter, up 19% to $348.8 million. In 2013, sales at its girls division rose 26%, topping $1 billion for the first time, helped by a revived My Little Pony brand.
Hasbro also forecast strong emerging markets growth this year and raised its quarterly dividend 8% to 43 cents a share, giving it a yield of 3.1%.
Westar Energy has a simple business. It distributes electricity in Kansas. Electricity providers like Westar have been rising lately after Warren Buffett signaled in a recent letter to shareholders that Berkshire Hathaway's (BRKA) MidAmerican Energy Holdings is keen on another "major" acquisition after paying more than $5 billion last year for Nevada utility NV Energy.
Earnings and sales growth has been choppy in recent quarters at Westar. Fourth-quarter profit fell 11% from a year ago, but sales growth accelerated nicely from the third quarter, rising 7% to $559.9 million.
Westar pays a quarterly dividend of 35 cents a share, giving it a yield of 4%.

Eight students from Globe University-Eau Claire assisted in feeding the hungry in the Chippewa Valley area. Kandice Bonander, Amber Bradley, Christopher Brantner Jessica Dicus, Victoria Holodnack, Brittney Jepson, Trista Mattson, and Megan Schaefer from the Global Citizenship class met a community need in a big way!
Ashley McCarthy, volunteer coordinator of Feed My People Food Bank in Eau Claire, met with the students to discuss the need for the Food Bank in Eau Claire and the wide area that the facility serves. Ashley explained that the food bank serves 14 counties in Western Central Wisconsin. She also shared that hunger is a problem close to home and not just something that affects people in bigger cities.
Some of the students involved in the project know all too well the problem of hunger. Reflecting on the project, student Victoria Holodnack stated, "This service-learning project helped by just reminding me where I came from and the help my family and I recieved from others. It helped me understand the behind the scenes of how we were able to recieve such assistnace in the dark time of our life. It shed light and helped me become more humble and grateful for it all."
Britney Jepson realized the enormity of the need while working at Feed My People. Britney found that, "Prior to going to Feed My People I did not know that distribution centers of its kind even existed. I always wondered how [food pantries] were able to always stay supplied."
The students worked together to package food for distribution to area families, fire victims, and area food pantries. The college students also felt rewarded by packaging weekend meals to be distributed at area schools for students to have over the weekend when they might not have access to three meals a day.
Megan Schaefer was inspired by the project. She discovered that, "This class and my service-learning project helped me become a more aware and informed citizen. In order to get involved and start helping you must first be informed. Then you can take action and inspire others to do the same." Megan believes that, "If I lead by example, others can become aware and start helping out, then they can reach out to even more people. One person can make a difference, and that person can be me!"
This quarter another eight students are "feeding the area need" by partnering with the Community Table. Students Nicole Aiona, Anthony Gormley, Corey Paczkowski, Melissa Genna, Christopher Cuddy, Kyle Lynn, Andy Walker, and Kelli Palumbo will be preparing, serving, and eating a meal at the Community Table.
The students met with Rachel Keniston, executive director, to discuss the need for the Community Table in Eau Claire. Keniston shared many devastating facts about the need in our community which are similar to statistics throughout the country. She also encouraged the students with the amount of help and support there is available to feed the "food insecure" population. Keniston is confident that "There is no need for anyone to go hungry in the United States."

The journey towards the Holy Shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji depends on the email of Mata. It is not merely a belief but a substantial example of everyone which the Divine Mother sends a call to her children. Once anyone receives it, wherever they are, will visit the Mother to receive Her unbounded love and blessings. A common slogan from my folklore beautifully expresses it- Maan Aap Bulandi - meaning Mom Herself Calls! It is additionally just a few experience by just about all people who go to Holy Shrine that upon the Call of Mata, an individual would need to simply take one step by leaving others to Her with the exceptional journey gets carried out with Her divine blessings.
Simultaneously, it is additionally considered that unless there exists a call or Bulawa no one can look at the Shrine or have Her blessings, howsoever high or mighty one might be Mata Vaishno Devi Helicopter Package...

One of the most notable trends in the captive industry in recent years has been the increasing role of captives in employee benefit financing.
Corporations have been using captives to retain and manage non-life/property and casualty risks for decades, but until relatively recently, life/employee benefit risk has not been considered for captive inclusion to the same extent.
Although the idea of using a captive to fund benefits risks has been around for a number of years, the percentage of the total global captive population to adopt this approach remains relatively small, however, the numbers are very much on the rise. Given the current levels of interest in the topic, the expectation is that there will be spike in the numbers over the comings years.
This heightened level of interest is exemplified by the fact that the topic of 'employee benefits and captives' is now one of the leading agenda items of the numerous captive conferences on the annual circuit.
So why is employee benefits getting so much attention?
Quite simply, when implemented correctly, employee benefits in a captive can bring a range of significant advantages. Successful inclusion of employees in a traditional captive arrangement can result in very compelling cost savings but can also facilitate enhanced coverage and improved management of the risk.
By using a captive to fund insured benefits, companies can make significant savings on insurer profits and broking commissions. There is also the advantage of improved cash flow and the associated ability to collect investment returns. Financial efficiencies of moving from a decentralised structure to pooling are generally accepted to be in the region of 10 to 15 percent, but there are also incremental savings to be made from using a captive. Our work with clients suggests that the cumulative savings of using a pool and a captive, compared to buying locally, can reach 25 percent. Considering that for many organisations, employee benefits coverage costs are greater than property/casualty coverage costs, this percentage saving represents a significant prize. This also suggests that looking at employee benefits and property/casualty holistically could strengthen the business case for medium-sized companies to establish a captive for the first time.
These headline cost savings are obviously very attractive, and are resulting in many organisations commissioning employee benefits captive feasibility studies (we currently have an unprecedented level of enquires from clients). However, these premium and commission savings are not the only quantitative advantages that are available.
Diversification benefits available through the consolidation of life and non-life risks in a single captive portfolio can result in significant improvement on the captive's return-on-equity measures. This is particularly true of captives domiciled in the EU, which are subject to tougher solvency and risk management rules under Solvency II, implemented in January 2016.
Solvency II is increasing compliance and governance costs for captives based in the EU, and companies have been looking at ways to reduce cost and get more from their captives. One way in which captives can increase premiums and broaden their risk profiles is to add employee benefits. Solvency II provides capital credit for non-correlated risks, giving captives diversification benefits when adding life risks to a property/casualty portfolio.
The advantages listed will likely appeal strongly to the risk manager and CFO of an organisation, but what about the HR director, who will generally be closest to the current employee benefits programme?
A common concern of HR professionals, who may not have had much prior exposure to captive insurance, revolves around the quality of benefits and the misconception that a group-owned insurance vehicle would not be able to offer the same quality of coverage as the current employee benefits insurance partners. However, using a captive can enhance coverage rather than dilute, and can give HR departments more control over employee benefits cover, as well as ensuring that cover is more consistent across various jurisdictions. The captive can be used to offer benefits cover that is not widely available in the local market, ensuring that employees across the group receive the same quality of coverage irrespective of which location they work in. Organisations can provide the benefits cover they want, not what insurers want to provide. Increased control of cover is particularly useful when looking to attract and retain talent. In an age when talent retention ranks high on the risk registers of organisations of all industry sectors, the flexibility that a captive approach can facilitate will likely be very appealing to HR stakeholders within the organisation.
In addition to the considerable advantages noted above, organisations that use captives to finance insured employee benefits risk can also achieve better management and transparency of data.
One of the more significant challenges associated with the centralisation of benefits is transparency. Information on employee benefits spend is generally difficult to access adequately, given its decentralised nature and the local authority over its purchase. As well as this, networks typically only provide data six months after the end of the underwriting year, making it difficult to achieve true visibility of the data. However, captives need to pay claims quarterly or monthly, so data from fronting insurers flows faster to support the cash-flow arrangement. Quarterly reporting means more transparency of financial performance and the ability to improve claims and cost management. This control of the data allows for improvement initiatives to be identified and also provides the central HR function with enhanced oversight of the benefits purchasing behaviour of subsidiaries.
For many organisations, these outlined advantages are compelling. So a legitimate question is: why are the numbers of employee benefits captives still relatively low?
Most insured employee benefits are relatively straightforward to include in a captive. The profile of employee benefits risks are usually high-frequency, low-severity risks that are relatively simple to forecast and therefore well suited to a captive approach.
However, this approach will not suit every organisation and there are significant challenges to successful implementation.
Firstly, companies require a critical mass of employees (usually at least 5,000) with a good geographical spread if they are to use a captive to fund benefits risk via a multinational pooling arrangement. Employee spread is important because companies will not want to add high accumulations of risks, such as concentrations of employees, in single high-risk locations, such as major cities or catastrophe-exposed zones. There are also important internal operational considerations, notably around the structure of HR and how it is connected to other parts of the business. In particular, there needs to be a degree of centralisation and cooperation between HR and the risk management function, which is not typical.
Effective communication and collaboration between the risk management and HR departments is an essential prerequisite for a successful employee benefits captive, and this can take some work to achieve in most cases.
Typically, risk management is a centralised function to drive non-life insurance programmes and HR is decentralised. So companies will likely need an additional layer to organise and centralise benefits, which will take time to establish. Moving to a captive-based approach could mean changes to carriers, and HR will want to know that insurers are able to deliver the required benefits locally.
The importance of engaging with HR and understanding its needs cannot be underestimated.
Another consideration for risk managers is the relative immaturity of the employee benefits captive concept and the ability of insurers to provide expertise, service and product.
Although the ability of insurers and networks to facilitate benefits funding by captives has improved, with a number of networks investing in developing employee benefits pooling systems that captives can access, still further improvements are required to bring the offering on par with non-life equivalents.
Another explanation as to why the numbers of employee benefits captives are relatively small is the lead time to transition from a decentralised approach to a centralised multinational pooling arrangement, which can take several years to correctly implement.
With many organisations already progressed on this journey, the numbers of employee benefits captives coming on stream over the next few years could effectively double the population of employee benefits captives, and as familiarity grows and the concept continues to mature, the uptake is likely to further accelerate.
So, in conclusion, although the concept has taken some time to gain traction and the uptake numbers are relatively small, the potential it represents, together with the momentum it is generating, will ensure that the financing of employee benefits through a captive will continue to trend strongly for some time to come.

Why NBA Players Shoot Labor Bricks
Before the NBA lockout began in July, players and their representatives were already repeating the party line: This time, they said, the players would be ready for a long work stoppage.
The last time this happened, in 1998-99, the conventional view is that the players had come back to the table waving white flags—largely because they were running out of money.
The idea that NBA players are better prepared this time around...

The Russian Football Union (RFU) will not be revising terms of its contract with Russian national football team's Head Coach Fabio Capello, RFU President Nikolay Tolstykh said on Thursday.
"The contract is in force and there will be no revision of its terms," Tolstykh told journalists.
Titled Italian coach Capello has not been paid under his contract with the RFU for over four months. According to various media reports, the RFU's current debt to the Italian coach stands at some 250 million rubles (over $6 million). The RFU, however, does not keep it a secret that the union experiences financial difficulties at the moment and its budget deficit stands at 500 million rubles ($11.5 million).
The Russian national squad experienced a string of setbacks over the past decade failing to qualify for the 2006 World Cup in Germany and 2010 championship in South Africa to the great dismay of the Russian football fans.
Things changed, however, when Italian phenomenon Capello took over the team as the head coach and managed to help the Russian national squad to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The team, however, failed to clear the first stage of the much-anticipated global tournament putting their coach in the center of stern criticism and raising serious concerns in the country about the team's performance in the next World Cup, which would be hosted by Russia in 2018.

Evan WinkMature
I didn't understand Dilila's need to take control of the school but I guess it was in her genes just like flames burnt in mine. While Dilila was close to a siren, I would be most closest to a phoenix. A bird of fire. I mean even my tattoos were phoenix themed. I sat at the wall of the school.
It should be lunch time and I wanted a full scale report from Dilila how she was doing. Which is when I saw her. Her head lowered and sleeves pulled as far down her arms as possible, even so they edge over her hands. I tilted my head and lit my cigarette having been playing with the lighter for a while like normal. I took in a deep drag letting it out slowly as I watched her make her way to sit on the ground beneath a tree.
She dumped her bag next to her and my attention was on every movement she made. That was until my sisters familiar rolls of joyfilled laughter reached my ears as the school to the doors swung open again.
By the way the crowd walked with her I could tell these weren't complete puppets of hers. Their walk showed a proudness that defined them as the popular kids. Dilila saw me and waved making me merely smile. They past the young girl beneath the tree and as they did someone dumped their water all over her.
The girl gasped and my eyes watched her lips as they let out that small gasp. The group burst out in laughter and the person who had tipped the water threw his bottle away before they all left round the corner.
I tilted my head, once again, watching. I finished my cigarette and flicked it off the wall onto the street and not school grounds. I did this before jumping down from the wall and making my way over to the young girl. "Are you okay?" I ask perching on the ball of my feet in front of her.
She looks at me with confused eyes. "I.... I'm okay. Its normal anyway. Um, who are you?"
"Oh, I'm new to town. The name's Evan" I say holding out my hand. The girls hand gasped my so delicate and soft.
"Serena" she whispered. I slowly smiled tilting my head to study her features.
"Lovely name" I reply. "Well, I shouldn't really be here. Since I'm not a student" I rise to my feet. I look at Serena then think before pulling some paper and a pen from the satchel thats hanging at my side. I scribble down my number hand it to her and then leave.
Dilila would call me weird for what I did. I'm not all bad though. Just mostly, I think smiling as I land on my feet other side of the wall.

Low penetration rates, ambitious construction projects and the approach of two world sporting events mean that Brazil is ripe with opportunities for reinsurers. Intelligent Insurer gives an overview of the market.
With the soccer World Cup looming in 2014 and the Olympic Games coming in 2016, Brazil is suddenly on the world's radar. The forthcoming sporting events have sparked huge infrastructural investments and these, coupled with the Growth Acceleration Program (the Brazilian government's investment plan that promotes large-scale infrastructure projects) have generated ample opportunities for reinsurers.
"A stable economy and investments to meet the booming consumer market make the situation very favourable for the potential development of the sector," says Bruno Freire, executive director of Brazilian reinsurer Austral Re. "Our expectation is growing and we hope to achieve more than $220 million of written premiums in 2013."
Brazil presents reinsurers with huge growth potential because, despite being the largest reinsurance market in Latin America, penetration rates are very low. Wider global factors have only increased its attractiveness.

NEW YORK Ś Ever feel like youĺre on a big hamster wheel and you canĺt get off?
Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder know that feeling all too well. The two performance artists are spending 10 days living, eating and sleeping on a giant hamster wheel to make a larger point: We all have to work together to get through the daily grind.
ôI wasnĺt prepared for this ... perhaps I should have been,ö Shelley said from atop the wheel, his feet dangling off the side of the 25-foot-tall wood and metal structure.
One wrong move by him or his fellow human hamster and they risk being thrown off. They are perched on opposite ends of the wheel, 180 degrees from each other, and must carefully coordinate their movements. When one walks, the other must walk in the opposite direction. When one stops, the other must stop.
ôItĺs really an exploration of what it means to collaborate,ö Schweder said from the relative safety at the bottom, inside of the wheel. ôItĺs an exploration of trust between two people.ö
Their live performance called ôIn Orbitö runs through Sunday at The Boiler, the Pierogi galleryĺs performance space in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. A few onlookers have come by to gawk at the spectacle, which often is more still life than poetry in motion.
On a recent visit, Shelley and Schweder kept the wheel moving for only a few seconds at a time. The wheel they built themselves is 60 feet in circumference and equipped with everything they need: narrow beds, chairs, desks, a fridge, rudimentary kitchen (theyĺve made omelets and sausages) and a chemical toilet (with privacy screen) Ś all strapped down. Even the participants are tethered to safety harnesses.
ôWeĺre living on a big wheel that is essentially a two-bedroom apartment,ö Schweder said.
ôSleeping is a kind of refuge,ö Shelley added. ôThereĺs psychological pressure here being in this thing so when you get to sleep itĺs easy to stay there.ö
Both men say they knew going in that life on the wheel would be tough, and they are trying to stay mentally tough until they can get back on terra firma.
ôTen days is a number you can hold in your mind and count down,ö Shelley said. ôItĺs like being told to stand in the corner when youĺre a kid.ö
