It may be the biggest float ever seen on the London market, but Glencore's disappointing start to life as a listed company continued yesterday after the commodities trader dipped once again.
The group begins unconditional trading today, and is set to enter the blue-chip index after the session has closed, yet it has been trading on the grey market since Thursday following a prolonged build-up.
Despite its issue price of 530p being seen by some as conservative, Glencore failed to move upwards on its first day and was then pegged back 6p to 524p last Friday, before last night closing 10p worse off at 514p.
Its fall came as metal prices shifted down, resulting in a tough session for the miners that left Antofagasta 47p behind at 1,160p and Anglo American 121p lower at 2,830.5p. There have been fears that Glencore's market debut has arrived at the end of the commodities boom, with Goldman Sachs last month advising investors to take profits.
However, market voices remained optimistic about Glencore's chances despite its weak performance so far. "I don't think [its management] will be worried as it is still early," said Guardian Stockbrokers' Atif Latif, who pointed out a number of tracker funds will be mandated to buy the shares. "As long as they stick to what made them a success thus far I expect they will replicate that as a listed company."
The weakness in the mining sector – prompted by data showing signs of a slowdown in growth in China and the Eurozone, plus fears over the latter's debt crisis – saw the FTSE 100 slump 112.6 points to 5,835.89, its lowest level for two months.
The news that ash from the Grímsvötn volcano in Iceland was travelling towards the UK prompted flashbacks of last year when the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano caused more than 100,000 flights to be cancelled.
As fears spread a repeat could be on the cards, airlines shares across Europe fell, including International Consolidated Airlines which plummeted 12.6p to 235p. EasyJet was also behind, knocked back 17.6p to 345.1p, with little help provided by a warning from its Irish peer Ryanair over fuel costs.
The airlines were not the only ones affected by the volcanic eruption, as the tour operators Tui Travel and Thomas Cook slipped back 7.6p to 229.8p and 5.7p to 145p respectively. However, JP Morgan Cazone was more positive, saying that although the "reaction seems to be factoring in an economic impact similar to last [year]", a number of factors – including companies being better prepared – means the effect will be limited.
Wm Morrison dropped 10p to 298.3p, following reports over the weekend that the supermarket may make a move for the frozen food retailer Iceland. Matrix's Tom Gadsby was not a fan of the idea, however, saying that while "Iceland generally suits customers on a budget who are prepared to shop in tertiary locations... Morrison's range is rather more aspirational" and that therefore a bid "would be a big mistake".
its announcement last week that it had received a number of approaches – including from the private equity firms Bain Capital and Advent International – means investors have been feeling rather optimistic that not only will Micro Focus receive a formal offer, but that a bid battle would then commence.
However, the software group retreated 17.6p to 381p on the FTSE 250 after Collins Stewart poured cold water on their hopes, saying a bid would not be forthcoming for a number of reasons, most notably because its valuation was too high considering its "pedestrian" growth profile.
"While it would be tempting to hold on to wait for a bid to materialise, we believe that shareholders should consider taking some profits above 400p," said the broker, adding that the group could fall to around 325p if no offer is made.
TalkTalk increased 3.4p to 149.1p, maintaining its strong performance in the wake of its final results last Thursday, since when it has ticked up over 13 per cent. Further support was provided by UBS reiterating its "buy" recommendation on the telecoms group, and the broker also increased its forecasts while adding that there was "scope for a payout rise and merger and acquisition [activity]".
Pole position on the mid-tier index was taken by Mitie, which rose 10.4p to 220.4p after the support services company said its full-year profit had jumped up over 15 per cent. Also updating the market was British Land, and the blue-chip property group was driven back 16.5p to 576p as its final results prompted Panmure Gordon and Peel Hunt to reduce its rating to "hold".
down on the Alternative Investment Market, Fairpoint lost almost a quarter of its value after issuing a profit warning. The financial services company shed 20p to close at 68p following its announcement that it was being hit by a fall in the number of people unemployed.

Ohio Early Voting Lawsuit - NYTimes.com
Jared Sperli stashed this in politics
Stashed in:
When will America just have a week of voting? This is stupid.
Then, in an extraordinary lie, Mr. Romney issued a statement Saturday turning the lawsuit around to accuse Democrats of trying to end early voting for the military. "President Obama's lawsuit claiming it is unconstitutional for Ohio to allow servicemen and women extended early voting privileges during the state's early voting period is an outrage," he said. He went on to say that the "brave men and women of our military" make tremendous sacrifices for the country, and that everything should be done "to protect their fundamental right to vote."
The lawsuit does nothing of the kind. It simply seeks to give civilians the same voting rights as servicemen and women. But just as Republicans have twisted the Voter ID issue into a fight against a phony trend of fraud, they are now trying to turn the early-voting battle into a defense of the military against an administration falsely portrayed as anti-soldier.
If Mr. Romney truly cared about the "fundamental right to vote," he would support it for everyone, even those who might not support him.

It goes without saying that the success or failure of a magazine brand begins and ends with creating content that speaks to the specific interests and passions of its readers. Unfortunately, this is often easier said than done. Building a team of writers that is well versed in the subject matter and a cause espoused by the magazine is imperative to the success of the publication, including drawing compatible advertisers and loyal readers. Publishers must find writers with a point of view. People who will write about what they really believe in, and who can communicate this to their readers.
The very thing that makes magazines media create solid customer loyalty is that good publications offer content that speaks to the specific interests and passions of its constituents. Readers expect and want each publication they read to speak in a specific voice and style relevant to their brand. Digital publications fill a recently created but permanent need by delivering relevant content via the relevant platform to that particular demographic. Print and digital are not mutually exclusive.
Publishers must use the power of their brand to entice their readers to interact via the numerous and various hardware out there, including smartphones, tablets, websites and print editions. The brand experience must be seamless through all formats, but the bottom line is that content is king. Give the people what they want and they will always come back for more.

Robert Altmans adaptation of Michael Tolkins novel gives the notorious director a chance to address perhaps his greatest nemesis the Hollywood studio system. Disguised as a thriller the film assembles virtually every famous actor in Hollywood to create an exhilarating blend of real life and fiction. Tim Robbins plays Griffin Mill a studio executive who begins to fear for his job when upstart Larry Levys (Peter Gallagher) name becomes a hot topic on the lot. After receiving threatening postcards from an unidentified writer Griffin tracks down David Kahane (Vincent DOnofrio) who he thinks is the guilty party. The two argue with disastrous results. Later as Griffin struggles to keep his job while trying to distance himself from the law he finds himself falling in love with Kahanes mysterious girlfriend (Greta Scacchi). THE PLAYER is a vicious satire that exposes the Hollywood industry as fraudulent weak and shallow. Altmans film also sends up both the noir genre and filmmaking technique the latter notably in an extended opening shot which is a sprawling one-take that covers the studios entire lot and features a series of hysterical pitches by actual screenwriters including Buck Henry offering forth on his concept for THE GRADUATE 2. Bitter and electric THE PLAYER ends on an ironic upbeat note that perfectly concludes a stellar picture.

In a grim suburb outside Pristina, two schools exist in the same building. They are only one floor apart, yet the pupils speak different languages, learn different histories and their break times are staggered so that they never interact. If there is any hope of rebuilding the traumatised relationship between the majority Albanians and Serb minority in this war-torn country, it is unlikely to come from the classrooms at Daut Bogujevci.
The Albanian principal, Sabri Xhiqoli, who runs the first and second floor, said he has often tried to reach out to the Serbian children downstairs but has been blocked every time. "Last year, we won a grant to plant some trees in the playground," he said. "We asked the Serb principal if she would let her children join in. She checked with her superiors and they said no."
The divide takes on a particularly sinister edge in the pages of their history books. On the ground floor, the children learn all about the "Albanian terror against Serbs" throughout the past century. Upstairs, the textbooks talk only of Kosovo's "liberation" from "the national terror and genocide" of their Serb overlords and "the horrible scenes of barbarism of the bloody [Serb] squadrons".
"Neither side admits that crimes were committed by both sides," Shkelzen Gaski, a researcher who has studied the textbooks, said. "How can we have hope for the future if our children are raised to hate each other?"
These questions remain as acute as ever. Fourteen years on, memories of wartime atrocities are still fresh and while a massive international presence has mostly kept the peace since then, all are aware that it cannot stay forever. So it was a major relief late last month when Serbia finally agreed to recognise the authority of the Kosovo government – though still not the full independence it declared in 2008. If nothing else, the EU-brokered deal was astonishing for who signed it: Kosovo's Prime Minister Hashim Thaci is a former commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), while his Serbian counterpart, Ivica Dacic, was spokesman to the Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic during the war.
"I want to congratulate them for their determination over these months and for the courage that they have," the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said at the time. "It's very important that now what we are seeing is a step away from the past and for both of them a step closer to Europe." But as the initial elation faded, doubts about the deal have started to emerge. A key clause involves the creation of a new Association of Serb Municipalities, giving Serbs in Kosovo – who make up only around 5 per cent of the population – even more control over their own affairs. They already run their own schools, newspapers and health clinics. Now they will have their own budgets, court of appeal and police commanders, too.
And while Serbia will almost certainly be rewarded for its co-operation with the opening of EU accession talks next month, it is less clear what Kosovo has gained. "We gave them all this, and for what?" Veton Kasapolli, a public relations consultant in Pristina, said. "Serbia is far from recognising us as an independent country. We are still blocked from taking part in any international organisations – the UN, sports, culture, everything."
He gives the example of Majlinda Kelmendi, a local judo star who almost became Kosovo's first Olympian last summer, until the International Olympic Committee ruled that her country is not formally recognised. She had to compete for Albania instead.
Taking their lead from Serbia, half the world has yet to recognise Kosovo, with particularly strong opposition from countries like China, Russia and Spain, which face their own separatist movements. "Yes, we wanted more from these negotiations," Kosovo's Foreign Minister Envers Hoxhaj said. "But it was never the goal to establish full diplomatic relations. For the past five years, Serbia has pretended we don't exist. Now they have accepted our territorial integrity and our laws, and are treating us as a partner. That is a paradigm shift."
But it is not just the majority Albanians that have doubts about the deal. The real testing ground lies an hour's drive north of Pristina on the border with Serbia, in the enclave of North Kosovo. The overwhelmingly Serb population here has never accepted Kosovan authority. In the centre of its largest town, Mitrovica, a large pile of rubble and abandoned cars blocks the main bridge to the south. Serbian flags fly defiantly overhead. For the past decade, the region's government and police have been paid by Belgrade. But now Serbia has promised to cut that funding and let Kosovo take over.
The locals are furious at a deal that was done without their consent. On Friday, they travelled to Belgrade to protest, vowing to boycott any attempt to implement the plan.
"The fact is our two communities can't live together. We have only survived here through Serbian protection – now they have abandoned us to please the international community," said Nevenka Medic, the Serb director of the Centre for Community Development in Mitrovica. "This deal will turn North Kosovo into a new Palestine – it will be a time bomb for Kosovo."
Serbia's Deputy Prime Minister, Aleksandar Vucic, travelled to North Kosovo at the weekend, trying to win over the Serb community. "I'm not saying that the agreement is good, but at this stage we could not get anything better," he said, adding it was "the only way for Serbia to exist and remain united".
But recent reports suggest Serbia is already trying to backslide on the essence of the agreement, demanding that it maintain control of judicial appointments in the northern enclave and refusing to allow background checks on its policemen when they are brought under Kosovan command.
As so often in the past, Kosovo is a pawn in a much bigger geopolitical game. The West is desperate to lure Serbia into the fold and out of Russia's orbit. They needed an agreement that could show Serbia moving in the right direction, regardless of whether it solves any of Kosovo's problems.
"I agree it is good if Serbia reorients towards Europe rather than Russia, but I don't agree that Kosovo should pay the price," said Albin Kurti, leader of Kosovo's Self-Determination party, the only party that opposed last month's agreement.
"Everything has been done to please Serbia. There is no legal recognition of Kosovo, no promise to deliver war criminals or pay war damages. And now they are getting this new Association of Serb Municipalities, which will render Kosovo dysfunctional. "Mr Kurti's party is a rare voice of dissent against the power of the international community in Kosovo. The West remains hugely popular here thanks to Nato's decisive role in the war in 1999. When Tony Blair visited more than a decade later, local officials had him greeted by a group of young boys, all named Tony Blair.
"When the Iraq War broke out in 2003, I phoned my bosses in London to report demonstrations in the street," Arjeta Emra, manager of the British Council office in Pristina, said. "They told me this was nothing special. But I said, 'no, you don't understand, these are protests in support of the US invasion. And this is a Muslim country'."
But the growing popularity of the Self-Determination party – polls show it taking 20 per cent of the vote in next year's election – shows that attitudes are changing. The party accuses the international community of using the threat of corruption charges to ensure Mr Thaci's co-operation in their regional plans. A university director shares this widely held view: "He's willing to strike deals. He is favoured by the internationals because his dirty background makes him someone they can blackmail." Mr Thaci has denied allegations in the local press that he has used his position to amass wealth.
The fixation on Kosovo's international status and ethnic issues has directed attention away from the deep economic problems that plague the country, which faces the unenviable combination of Europe's youngest population and highest unemployment rate (over 45 per cent). Instability has prevented investment in its potentially lucrative mining and agricultural sectors.
"We import onions from Egypt and garlic from China while half our land goes unused," said Shpend Ahmeti, a Harvard-educated economist who is the deputy chair of Self Determination. "Perhaps it is time the international community stopped sending us rule-of-law prosecutors and started sending professors of agriculture and economic advisers. We've had enough charity. We want to get to the EU and Nato through development, not through some back-door agreement."

'Oh how rude of me,' Mari giggled, a sweet sound that made Angels stomach lurch, 'this is my fiance, Kenta.'
Kenta gave Angel a small wave before turning back to Mari, 'I don't remember you consulting me about this.'
'I didn't,' Mari replied, 'I hope you can understand her situation and allow her to stay at the house.'
Angel blushed, a happy feeling grew in her heart as Mari covered for her. Kenta tossed Angel a doubtful look, before sighing and nodding.
'I am just going to buy your painting, I shall be back shortly.' He said in a slightly tight voice. Kenta turned on his heel and walked in the other direction. Angel shifted her weight onto her other food and looked up at Mari, who was staring after Kenta with a look of admiration on her face. Angel puffed out her cheeks angrily and looked at her pumps.
'Why would you go to so much trouble for me?' Angel mumbled, blinking back the tears of frustration that were beading up in her eyes.
'Why?' Mari asked, eyebrows raised, 'because your an angel, and I've always wanted one.'
Angel felt her heart lift instantly, and she looked up at Mari with a sheepish grin plastered on her face. Mari gave a small laugh and patted Angels shoulder. Angel blushed in response to the friendly action, Mari's simple touch sent shots of desire to Angels mind. Angel bit her lip and tried her very best not to give into these selfish thoughts.
Mari wanted her!
'The painting will be delivered to our house next week. Now then, shall we get going?' Kenta said as he abruptly returned, and, in Angels opinion, ruin the mood. They would surely be better off without such a man. But the way Mari looked at Kenta made Angel reluctant to force them apart, she would get Mari with her own power, surely.
They knew each other in another lifetime, or maybe even this one.

Dangerous Side Effects of Bath Salts
"The actual high lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. The urge to use the drug again starts about 45 minutes after use. The side-effects, hallucinations, delusions can last for up to two weeks," Agent James Walstrom of the Attorney General's Office said.
Agent Walstrom said the cost of bath salts is comparable to the cost of other drugs like crack and heroin, so many addicts will use it if they don't have illicit drugs.

The complexity of integrating data from multiple sources to create a robust data segmentation strategy is the digital marketer's major roadblock to capitalizing on it. Even for marketers who access to a large pool of data, it could be logical to assume that more data means more opportunities. The truth is, businesses are increasingly inundated with volumes of retail data, but don't know what to do with it. Since the amount of data is overwhelming it's pertinent to create a strategy to drive actionable data.
A sea of customer data is not enough, your data must be actionable so that it drives value from email campaigns immediately. You data driven email strategy starts with:

Vet Tech and "ER" Clubs Raise Awareness by Helping Dogs and Babies
Posted by Staff Writer on May 9, 2014
Students, faculty and families representing the Student Chapter of the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (SCNAVTA) club and "ER" Club from Minnesota School of Business-Elk River donated their time to support the American Cancer Society (AMC) and March of Dimes.
The Bark for Life event, which benefited AMC, was held at "The Draw" Park in Ramsey, and the March for Babies event was held in St. Paul at Como Park.
This year was the third annual Ramsey Bark for Life. Nicole Greenlund's Application of Clinical Skills class has done this as their applied learning project since the first event and they always enjoy it. They have even had previous graduates that have formed their own teams. One of her past students raised over $900 for this year's event.
Tanya Kupczyk, veterinary technology program chair and cancer survivor, was able to participate in the event as well.
"Relay events are close to my heart and the stories of others inspire me, which motivates me to continue to participate in these events," said Kupczyk.
Students performed complimentary nail trims for the dogs participating in the event. They also did some dental education and home care (they brought examples of pet toothpaste, brushes, and treats) as well as some general education.
This year, Greenlund was able to bring a couple students from SCNAVTA to volunteer their time, as well as two students from the Introduction to Veterinary Technology class. Greenlund believes that It is a great opportunity for them to fine-tune their skills and, more importantly, interact with pet owners.
On the same day, the "ER" Club, Katherine Wollschlager, a group of medical assistant students, and their families participated in the March of Dimes March for Babies. Funds from the event help the organization support expecting mothers to have healthy, full-term pregnancies. Donations also help to fund research into problems that effect babies in the womb.
According to Wollschlager, "This was an important thing for us because my friend's children and my daughter were born prematurely, and my kids just really wanted to be a part of the whole event."
MSB student, Karyn Warren, a participant in the event, described the sights and sounds from the day. The event atmosphere is similar to a festival. There were Star Wars characters for people to take pictures with and plenty of free samples for participants from Starbucks coffee, Dilly Bars from Dairy Queen, popcorn, and cotton candy, as well as prize drawings.
The walk itself was around Como Lake, and at the end of the walk, lunch was provided for the participants. An extra bonus to the walk was the opportunity to go to the zoo afterwards.
Wollschlager said, "It was quite a sight to see so many people participating. My kids were just thrilled to be a part of it and already said they can't wait until the next one."
These events are part of MSB-Elk River's ongoing mission of supporting our local communities and helping those in need. If you are interested in being a part of this effort, please connect with Nicole Rasmussen or a program chair.

Students at Sussex University have stepped up their efforts to block the proposed privatisation of several key services, by storming the conference room and third floor balcony of Bramber House. The surge followed a protest attended by over 300 students and staff, as well as comedian and Independent columnist Mark Steel.
Students have occupied parts of the building since Thursday 3 February, as a 'last resort' to resist privatisation after declaring that communicating with management down the conventional channels had become 'impossible'.
The occupiers had numbered around 40 until yesterday's demonstration when, after one of the largest protests in the university's history, cries of 'join them' led to what the press contact for the Occupy group is describing as a surge of 'hundreds' into the building.
Kit Bradshaw, communications officer for the Sussex Student's Union confirmed on twitter that: "security have let hundreds of students into Bramber House conference centre to join the occupation".
On the morning of the most recent protest Sussex Vice Chancellor, Prof Michael Farthing, in a letter to the students occupying the terrace said that he had "been asked by a number of staff and student to find a way to resolve this situation" before offering a meeting on the condition that "before the meeting takes place, we would want all the people involved in the protest to leave the terrace room".
The students occupying responded saying that "If dissolving this occupation is the only condition upon which we can meet, then will not have a meeting" and instead, invited the Vice Chancellor and university registrar John Duffy, who is responsible for overseeing the outsourcing on campus, to a meeting in the occupied conference room.
It came a day after the release of a statement of support for the campaign, signed by over 150 leading academics, journalists and celebrities, including Caroline Lucas MP, activist Noam Chomsky, and BAFTA and Academy award winning actor and director Peter Capaldi.
Speaking at the demonstration, Mark Steel told the students it was an "honour and a privilege" to speak to them, and praised them for "standing up for what is right", he also appeared to make reference to the recent horsemeat scandal when he told the students: "private business, food, what could possibly go wrong?".
During a recent Q and A session between university registrar John Duffy, and students, Duffy insisted that the "treatment of staff and quality of service [are] top priorities" and that it was "really important that employers on this campus treat their staff well (…) a good employer will pay [and] treat staff equally".Reuse content

MATEWAN – Matewan Water has issued an update concerning the recent water outage in Matewan and the surrounding areas.
At this time conditions indicate there is a high probability that your water is contaiminated. Testing has not occured to confirm or deny the presence of contamination in your water.
Do not drink the water without boiling first. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, bathing and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
A main line busted and a utility crew is in the process of repairing it.
Customers will be informed when you no longer need to boil your water. We anticipate having the problem resolved within seven days.

What are Tipton's top priorities for SRI?
Increasing collaborations with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and exploring ongoing work in aerospace and clean energy are among the top goals for new Southern Research Institute CEO Arthur Tipton.
Tipton, who joined Birmingham-based SRI in 2004 to lead the formation of a drug-delivery company, will replace the retiring John Secrist as CEO of the renowned research organization.
I spoke with Tipton shortly after the announcement about his plans and priorities for the nonprofit research institute.
SRI's new CEO is particularly interested in the potential of aerospace – an area Alabama is trying to become a leader in – and clean energy.
"Those are all the things the world needs right now that SRI can play a significant role in," Tipton said discussing the pursuit of research in aerospace and clean energy.
SRI already has strong collaborations with UAB, but Tipton said he's looking for ways to "make those even stronger."
Other topics Tipton discussed today included SRI's future in fostering spinoff companies and his views on biotechnology.
On spinoffs, Tipton said his joining of SRI in 2004 involved exactly that type of work. At that time, he led the creation of Brookwood Pharmaceuticals.
Brookwood Pharmaceuticals was later acquired by SurModics in 2007 for about $50 million, allowing Tipton to oversee the "most significant payment to Southern Research in its history."
Tipton said he's very interested and supportive of evaluating the possibility of forming spinoffs.
On biotech, Tipton described the field as a region that is very ripe for exploration. He said SRI is well equipped to collaborate with biotech firms to test the efficacy of new drugs.
In a release about Tipton's hiring, UAB provided some detail on Tipton's work in biotech.
Tipton from 1993 to 2001 served in a variety of positions with Durect Corp., a California-based publicly traded drug-delivery company. He was also part of a company called Southern BioSystems, which Durect acquired.
With other offices in Huntsville, Maryland and North Carolina, SRI has led many groundbreaking projects in pharmaceuticals, space exploration, environment, energy and engineering.
"I'm thrilled," he said of his selection as SRI CEO. "It's an organization that I have been with briefly a couple times in my career. "It's just a great organization, over 70 years old and has contributed a lot to the economy here. I'm thrilled to be back here."

The Drop, Pt. 1
This was a dream. I knew it and I understood it. However, I was most assuredly not in control of the situation. I was standing on the surface of the waves, in the middle of the ocean. However, I was not stationary. I swayed back and forth with the motions of the seemingly limitless dream water, but never sank. I considered moving, but something inside convinced me that it wasn't worth trying. So I willingly followed the movement of the tides, for what seemed like the longest time. There was no sun in the bright blue sky, yet I felt a familiar warmth beating down on my head and shoulders. All the while, a dreadful, physically nonexistent sinking feeling flooded my guts. This was it; this was the drop.
I peered down into the depths of the false waters, wondering if anything lived down there. Surely my mind was able to conjure up a decent ecosystem. I took my first step, and found that I still remained on the surface of the waves. Still drifting with the motion of the ocean, I got down on my knees and pressed my face into the water. I felt no wetness or cold, but I was able to see clearly. Seeing as how this was a dream, breathing was quite unnecessary. A school of assorted tropical fish a few feet below me scattered around in a frenzy until their bodies were arranged to spell The Drop. I glanced down at the strand of long, brown hair tied to my ring finger and understood. I was falling for the girl. The fake, dream girl created by my own subconscious was suddenly the one thing I desired most of all. As unreasonable as it was, I felt as though I'd be ready to sacrifice myself for her, if the situation ever arose.
One of the fish, the most noticeable one, broke from the arrangement. As soon as this happened, the rest of them dispersed and receded into the infinite depths. The solitary fish came towards me at an oddly quick pace. Startled, I lifted my head out of the ocean and felt air once again. The fish poked its front up out of the waves and stared at me. I recognized the fish as an angelfish. It seemed to glow in the disembodied sunlight. "Are you prepared to fall?" the angelfish asked me, in a strangely gruff female voice.
I nodded. This was a dream after all, making any other option seem idiotic. "If you desire Epithymia," the fish began, "You must pass the Trial of Seven. Every night for the next seven nights, you will be challenged. Pass the challenge and you will advance onto the next. Fail the challenge and you will lose Epithymia forever. Any attempt to skip the challenge, such as not sleeping, will result in immediate forfeiture."
The fish returned to the underwater world. Sticking my head back into the water, I was amazed to see billions of fish in the most spectacular formation. The countless amount of assorted tropical fish had arranged themselves into a photo-realistic, high resolution image of this dream girl, Epithymia. She was stunning, even in fish-pixel form. Suddenly, the image moved as a singularity and she became the real Epithymia, beckoning me.
Breaking through the watery surface upon which I stood, I mindlessly dove down into the depths to chase the object of my affection. Dream physics decided that this was a good time to pay attention. She was just too far down and I simply had little to no oxygen left. Just as she was within arm's reach, my lungs gave out. I sank to the infinite bottom of the ocean, staring helplessly as I fell farther and farther from my beloved, Epithymia. To make matters worse, she didn't follow. Whereas I dove in for her, she only watched expressionlessly as I sank down to the bottomless pit of my subconscious.
No matter, she was going to be all over me by the end of next week. As my dream faded and reality surfaced, I held tightly onto the strand of the synthesized teenage girl's hair.

Serious Sam 3: Croteam confirms new part of the series - Update: Release planned for 2010
Up to now Serious Sam 3 has been considered as a rumor by many sources. Now developer Croteam confirmed to be working on several projects - and one of them is Serious Sam 3.
Original article: May 15, 2009
Recently there were many rumors about Croteams mass shoot 'em up Serious Sam 3: They said that a shooter is in progress and that it is rather made for the tactic genre than the Serious Sam universe.
Now the Croteam website informs us that the team is working on two games at the moment and one of them is Serious Sam 3 indeed. The developer is just about to close a publisher contract - but definitely not with Gamecock who was responsible for former Croteam titles. Development is progressing well and more details will be announced soon.
More information has not been revealed yet - we will keep you up to date.
Update December 21, 2009
The website Destructoid delivers god news for Serious Sam's fans. Croteam boss Roman Ribaric confirmed to the website that Serious Sam 3 is still under construction. Currently the release is planned for 2010.
So after Serious Sam HD has already been revealed and The Second Encounter HD has already been announced for 2010, there will be new games of the Serious Sam franchise. What do you think about the announcement? Will a new Serious Sam be able to compete with the simple gameplay and huge load of fun the older games offered? Give your opinion in the comments.

5 Basic Truths About Creating and Building Teams in the WorkplacePosted by Christopher Lihzis
Performance within groups typically does not just happen. For a group to really perform well, it needs practice. The group needs to understand the best way to organize itself for performance. This concept is commonly understood by sports teams and the military. They clearly see the need to give groups opportunities to practice. Boot Camp for the military and pre-season workouts for sports teams are the norm. It's interesting to note in business that there is far less interest or appreciation of group development and the need for practice. Team practice, for the most part, is not factored into the business or corporate world. We form groups in business and march them into the corporate battle zone expecting them to perform and when they fail we are surprised.

Eight Reasons Small Businesses Should Use Non-Compete AgreementsPosted by Christopher Lihzis
Small business owners understandably may be reluctant to use non-compete agreements for many reasons. The desire to divert precious resources to paying an attorney to prepare a contract is hardly appealing. Similarly, businesses may feel that such agreements are unnecessary because they have few employees. But as Ben Franklin once wisely advised, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

How To Give Constructive Criticism: 5 Helpful SuggestionsPosted by Christopher Lihzis
Have you ever provided suggestions which were subsequently ignored? Have you ever provided critiques which were not well received? Have you ever wanted to provide constructive feedback on something, but held back from doing so because you did not know how to convey your intentions across? Today's guide is on how to give constructive criticism to someone. Whether at work or in relationships, sharing (and receiving) feedback is part and parcel of improvement. If you have ideas on how someone can improve, don't hold your ideas back – rather, share them in a constructive manner. (Provided the subject is something the person has asked to receive feedback on. Otherwise, you are merely imposing your judgment on others.)

Mercedes-Benz has finally dropped the top on its range-topping model, the long-lived S-Class. The new cabriolet takes the handsome, sophisticated good looks of the hardtop model and adds a three-layer canvas roof that can be lowered or raised in just 20 seconds.
On top of the unlimited headroom, the new S-Class Cabriolet adds Mercedes' popular AirScarf neck-warming system, as well as a new nine-speed automatic transmission on the S550 model. As we previously reported, the S63 AMG will continue to use the seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission. Both cars match their hardtop and four-door counterparts in terms of output.
On top of AirScarf, Mercedes also fitted the Thermotronic climate control system. It uses 12 sensors and 18 actuators to measure a wide array of metrics, all in the pursuit of keeping the cabin temperature at the driver's ideal temperature.
Scroll up for our full gallery of photos of the new S-Class Cabriolet from the floor of the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. We also have the official press release from Mercedes down below. Check them out.


text: Challenges of Latino Aging in the Americas By William A. Vega, Kyriakos S. Markides, Jacqueline L. Angel 2015 | 450 Pages | ISBN: 3319125974 | PDF | 5 MB This book examines one of the most important demographic changes facing the United States: an overall aging population and the increasing influence of Latinos. It also looks at the changing demographics in Mexico and its impact on the health and financial well-being of aging Mexicans and Mexican Americans. The book provides a conceptual and accessible framework that will educate and inform readers about the interconnectedness of the demographic trends facing these two countries. It also explores the ultimate personal, social, and political impact they will have on all Americans, in the U.S. as well as Mexico. Challenges of Latino Aging in the Americas features papers presented at the 2013 International Conference on Aging in the Americas, held at the University of Texas at Austin, September 2013. It brings together the work of many leading scholars from the fields of sociology, demography, psychology, anthropology, geography, social work, geriatric medicine, epidemiology, and public affairs. Coverage in this edited collection includes working with diverse populations; culturally compatible interventions for diverse elderly; the health, mental health, and social needs and concerns of aging Latinos; and the policy, political, and bi-lateral implications of aging and diversity in the U.S. and Mexico. The book provides a rich blend of empirical evidence with insightful, cutting-edge analysis that will serve as an insightful resource for researchers and policy makers, professors and graduate students in a wide range of fields, from sociology and demography to economics and political science.

Missouri Petty Theft and Other Theft Laws
Defining Theft Under Missouri Law
A person commits theft under Missouri law by appropriating (taking) the property or services of another, with the intent to deprive the owner, without consent, or by deceit or coercion. (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 570.030(1).) In other words, you commit theft by taking something that doesn't belong to you, if at the time of the offense you have no intention of returning the property.
Classification of Offenses and Punishment of Theft in Missouri
Under Missouri law, theft and related offenses are primarily referred to as "stealing." Like many states, Missouri categorizes crimes as misdemeanors (which are less serious crimes) and felonies (which are more serious crimes). Whether a theft constitutes a misdemeanor or a felony depends on the value of the property taken or, in some cases, on the nature of the property. For instance, theft of potentially dangerous items -- such as firearms -- constitutes a felony under Missouri law, regardless of the value of the property.
Class A Misdemeanor Theft. If the value of the property or services stolen is less than $500, the theft is a class A misdemeanor under Missouri law. (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 570.030.) Receiving stolen property that is valued at less than $500 is also a class A misdemeanor. (§ 570.080(3).) Any other theft-related offense that does not have an explicitly stated classification also constitutes a class A misdemeanor. A class A misdemeanor carries a term of imprisonment of no more than one year, plus a fine of no more than $1,000. (§§ 558.011, 560.016.)
Class D Felony Theft. It is a class D felony if a person steals an animal belonging to another person. A theft is also a class D felony if, within the previous 10 years, the offender has two or more convictions for theft-related offenses that occurred on separate occasions. (§ 570.040.) A class D felony carries a term of imprisonment of not more than four years, plus a fine of not more than $5,000 or an amount that is no more than twice the amount of the offender's gain from the theft -- up to a maximum of $20,000. (§§ 558.011, 560.011.)
Class C Felony Theft. Theft is considered a class C felony under the following circumstances:
- the value of the property or services stolen is $500 or more, but less than $25,000
- the property is taken from the person of the victim, or
- the property is one of the following items:
- motor vehicle, watercraft, or aircraft
- firearm
- explosive weapon
- credit card
- U.S. flag used for display
- original copy of a legislative instrument such as an act, bill, or resolution
- original copy of a court or historical document
- voter registration book or list
- livestock
- will or unrecorded property deed
- controlled substance
- certain live fish, livestock, or captive wildlife, or
- chemicals used in the manufacture of amphetamine or methamphetamine, such as anhydrous ammonia or ammonium nitrate.
(Mo. Rev. Stat. § 570.030.) Receiving stolen property also is classified as a class C felony if it involves property valued at $500 or more, an explosive weapon, or if the offender is a dealer in the type of stolen goods involved. (§ 570.080(3).)
Conviction of a class C felony can result in a term of imprisonment of not less than one year and not more than seven years, plus a fine of no more than $5,000, or an amount that is no more than double the amount of the offender's gain through commission of the theft -- up to $20,000. (§§ 558.011, 560.011.)
Class B Felony Theft. Under Missouri law, theft constitutes a class B felony if the value of the property or services stolen is $25,000 or more. A class B felony carries a term of imprisonment of not less than five and not more than 15 years. (§ 558.011.)
Civil Penalties for Theft in Missouri
In addition to any criminal penalties, a person who steals merchandise from a store in Missouri will be civilly liable to the store owner for the following:
- the full retail value of the merchandise taken
- any proven incidental costs to the store owner of no more than $100
- a penalty payable to the store owner of not less than $100 and not more than $250, and
- all court costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the store owner.
If the person who stole the merchandise is a minor, the parent or guardian who has physical custody of the minor is civilly liable to the store owner for the same damages listed above. A parent or guardian is not liable for civil damages if the parent or guardian has not had physical custody of the child for one year or more. (§ 570.087(2), (3).)
Furthermore, a person who steals a shopping cart from a store is civilly liable to the store owner for actual damages caused by the theft, a penalty of $100, and all reasonable court costs and attorney fees. (§ 570.087(4).)
Defenses to Theft Under Missouri Law
It is a defense to theft under Missouri law that, at the time of the offense, the person had an honest belief of entitlement to the allegedly stolen property, or had an honest belief that the owner of the property, if present, would have consented to the person's appropriation of the property. (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 570.070(1).)
Effect of Prior Convictions on Theft Charges in Missouri
If a person has two or more previous convictions of theft-related offenses -- committed on separate occasions -- within 10 years of a subsequent theft offense, that subsequent offense will be charged as a class D felony. However, if the subsequent theft offense involves a motor vehicle, the person will be charged with a class B felony. This is the case whether the previous theft-related convictions came under Missouri law, the laws of another state, or federal law. (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 570.040.)

The Dove's Ascent
Their victim, the orphan, the monster, continues to lie in his place. He stares at the blue sky through his tears and feels the hatred as tight as the snow. He should not be. He is an ugly childhood, a gruesome tale, a leftover from a failed life. And the only thing pure is the cold. The cold is his resting place.
Let the boys fear the worst. Let them think of themselves as murderers. Let them wonder if he was once a regular boy.
The shaking of his body begins to grow still. His limbs begin to vanish. He uses what energy he still possesses to push his arms and legs away from his body. The cold stabs at his chest, and he drags his limbs back inward. But one more time, he pushes them out, smoothing the snow into a pillow of ice.
The blue sky is all he can see. The cold is all he can feel. But he is at peace to now know that he lies in the outline of an angel. He knows, as he pulls his arms and legs back in, that he is with his mother again. He is with the dove that showed him the way by being the first to fall, by being the first to peacefully join something so much more than itself.
And as his world grows dark, it is the dove that he first meets. From some distant place, he feels another being close to his heart. He feels claws on his chest. He feels feathers against his cheek. He feels life still clinging to him.
And then the boy opens his eyes. The dove is on his chest and its claws are piercing through his pajamas and scratching at his skin as it flutters earnestly, its eyes wide and sincere. He raises his head to see blood on his pajamas where its claws are stuck, and as he cries out in pain and tries to sit up, the dove flaps free and into the air. He watches as it gains height, spiraling forever upward to meet the winds that will guide it home.
And then, clutching at his chest, he realizes that he has not been left alone. He can feel a presence in his heart that he had not noticed before, as bright and warm as his own blood. Climbing to his feet, he runs stiffly back to the house. It is a long way, but he knows he will make it. And even if he lost all in his limbs in the cold, he would never lose that warmth in his heart.
He had never wanted to die. He had only wanted proof that he was meant to live. And there it was: a scar next to his beating heart, the memory of his mother as a beautiful dove, and a snow angel in the field.

Daily Technical Update EUR/GBP to Test Support after Retracement Pattern
EUR/GBP to Test Support after Retracement Pattern
- Weekly: The EUR/GBP continued its swing, as anticipated earlier this week and in yesterday's Chartist Corner. (Refer to Daily Video Technical Update 3.29.2010). It is within the context of a large congestion triangle, which we can see in the weekly chart. The weekly chart suggests a bearish intermediate-term mode.
- Daily: I mentioned that a a break below 0.8850 may lead to further decline to 0.8650. The market just broke below 0.8850.
- Notice in the Daily that the decline essentially completes a bullish Gartley. The 2-swing projection was each an expanded flat. Connecting the right tops and we have a declining trendline.
- Now we are set up for 2 alternative scenarios. If the market reaches 0.8820 area (61.8% retracement and projection swing), look for some bottoming action.
- Then, the rebound from that will give you a clue. If it is a pullback, it will be weak and likely stay below the declining resistance. If it is strong enough to break above 0.89 and the declining trendline, we can invalidate the short-term outlook to 0.8650.
- The MORE likely scenario is a continued decline to 0.8650. The stochastic is very bearihs, and the price action is strong. Look for a quick correction near 0.8820, but the short-intermediate term target is the 0.8650 area.
