Lack Of TARP-2 Details Pushes Dow Down
The Obama administration unveiled its overhaul of the financial rescue plan, but critical details were missing. Investors weren't pleased and the Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 300 points.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block. It was eagerly anticipated, but when the Treasury secretary finally unveiled a new financial stability plan today, the disappointment was palpable. Stocks were down across board. The Dow fell more than 380 points. The plan for the second half of the old TARP program - the $700 billion appropriated by Congress - was short on details in some critical areas, as NPR's John Ydstie reports.
JOHN YDSTIE: The Obama administration was eager to leave behind the controversies that surrounded the Bush administration's handling of the first $350 billion in TARP funding. This morning, as he unveiled the new approach, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner criticized the previous administration's response as late, inadequate, and damaging to public confidence. And Geithner promised a new direction.
Secretary TIMOTHY GEITHNER (Department of the Treasury): To get credit flowing again, to restore confidence in our markets, and to restore the faith of the American people, we are going to fundamentally reshape our program to repair the financial system.
YDSTIE: But two of the four main parts of the program build upon efforts begun by the Bush administration. The first involves the continuing effort to stabilize banks by providing government injections of capital, if necessary. Geithner said that will be preceded this time by an exhaustive government examination of the banks.
Mr. GEITHNER: We're going to require banking institutions to go through a carefully designed, comprehensive stress test. This borrows the medical term. We want their balance sheets cleaner and stronger. And we're going to help this process by providing a new program of capital support for those institutions that need it.
YDSTIE: Financial aid for banks who need it will be on tougher terms than under the Bush administration - including limits on executive compensation and dividends, announced last week. Geithner and the Obama economic team have also decided to boost lending through a Federal Reserve program begun under the Bush administration. Its acronym is T-A-L-F, TALF. And it's aimed at jump-starting the secondary market for consumer and auto financing, and student loans. Commercial real estate mortgages are being added to the mix, too. The program's total lending will jump from $200 billion to $1 trillion under the new plan.
But in the areas where the Obama administration will differ from the Bush-era TARP, the details are sketchy. In fact, details on the approach to helping homeowners avoid foreclosure have been delayed for several weeks. And the plan for handling toxic assets - those mortgage-backed securities that are dragging banks down - is a little more than a concept. Geithner said the government would partner with the private sector to encourage investors to buy the troubled assets, but it wasn't clear what form the partnership would take, or whether the government would need to provide insurance against losses, to lure private money into the game. In an interview after his speech on the financial network CNBC, Geithner was questioned about the lack of detail.
Unidentified Man: Have you made those choices yet?
Mr. GEITHNER: Steve, we're going to be very careful to get this right. And we're not going to put out details until we are confident that we've got the right structure that's going to achieve these objectives - to try and bring private capital in alongside government financing to help get these markets working again. As you know better than anybody, this is enormously complicated.
YDSTIE: But investors were unforgiving, and demonstrated that by selling off financial stocks.

Administration Outlines Bailout Spending Plan
In Depth
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Tuesday unveiled the Obama administration's second front in its battle for economic recovery — a plan aimed at soaking up $500 billion in toxic loans to jump-start stalled bank lending.
In an announcement, Geithner said the plan was designed to raise private funds, as well as use government money, to encourage investors to buy the assets. The action is a departure from the Bush administration's initial response to the financial meltdown, which Geithner praised while saying that it did not go far enough and suffered from a lack of transparency.
Americans "have lost faith in the leaders of some of our financial institutions," he said, while they are "skeptical that their government has used taxpayers' money in ways that will benefit them."
The White House under both Presidents Bush and Obama has come under fire for failing to provide a detailed accounting of how previous installments of the TARP money have been spent.
"This has to change. To get credit flowing again, to restore confidence in our markets and to restore the faith of the American people, we are going to fundamentally reshape our program to repair the financial system," Geithner said.
The plan represented one of "two fronts" — along with the more than $800 billion stimulus plan — in the "battle for economic recovery," he said.
The Treasury Department's strategy draws on the second installment of the $700 billion financial rescue package known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which was passed by Congress in the waning days of the Bush administration.
It will support $1 trillion in new lending through an expanded Federal Reserve program, he said.
"Unless we restore credit, the recession will be even longer and deeper," Geithner warned.
At least $50 billion would be set aside to help homeowners deal with rising foreclosures, he said. Details on the housing measures were postponed for an announcement expected in the next two weeks.
The Treasury secretary outlined a multitiered plan to increase transparency by publishing information on the Internet that would let Americans see "whether boards of directors are being responsible with the taxpayer dollars and how they are compensating their executives."
The program would provide public funds to banks as a short-term "bridge to private capital," he said.
"The capital will come with conditions to help ensure that every dollar of taxpayer assistance is being used to generate a level of lending greater than what would have been possible in the absence of government support," he emphasized.
At a White House news conference Monday night, Obama depicted the bank bailout effort as a template for "restoring market confidence."
"The credit crisis is real, and it's not over," Obama said.
He also did not rule out seeking additional TARP funding. "We don't know yet if we'll need additional money, or how much additional money we'll need," Obama said.
The Geithner announcement came on the same day the Senate passed the stimulus plan. Obama has lobbied hard for the measure, saying delay would lead to catastrophe. The House and Senate must now work out differences between their differing versions of the bill.
Also on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress that the flurry of programs to unclog the credit markets were beginning to work.
"Our lending to financial institutions, together with action taken by other agencies, has helped to relax the severe liquidity strains," he told the House Financial Services Committee.

DWIGHT GAYLE put a dagger through the heart of table-topping Cardiff.
Peterborough's Cockney striker has now bagged four goals in four starts since arriving from Dagenham on loan.
Little wonder, then, that Posh boss Darren Ferguson is hoping to make the 22-year-old a permanent signing in January.
Gayle struck two minutes into the second half after Michael Bostwick had set the visitors on their way to a first win in 10 games with a stunning first-half free-kick.
Malky Mackay's Cardiff had their chances but rarely troubled keeper Robert Olejnik until sub Rudy Gestede hit a last-minute consolation.
Ferguson said: "We stuck to the gameplan and deserved to win the game.
"They got one back and we were hanging on a bit but we got what we came for.
"I think we have shown a little bit of a lack of belief in one or two games and that is something I don't like to see.
"But, today, we were excellent and created lots of chances.
"Lee Tomlin and Gayle were a threat all day and my only slight criticism is we should have had one or two more."
Cardiff had the ball in the net inside three minutes but Heidar Helguson's header was ruled out for offside.
That hardly caused a stir in the Posh ranks, though.
Midfielder George Boyd's shot was cleared off the line by Bluebirds defender Ben Turner and George Thorne's goalbound effort was deflected out for a corner.
Then Helguson was wrongly penalised for a high foot and, to make it worse, the striker was booked for his troubles.
Bostwick duly smashed in the resulting free-kick from 25 yards and Cardiff chief Mackay continued to protest until half-time, when ref David Coote was roundly booed.
Straight after the break, Tomlin picked out Gayle with a pinpoint cross and the busy striker beat Marshall with ease.
Gayle then had a goal ruled out for offside.
At the other end, Craig Bellamy found Helguson but he missed from eight yards, before Gestede poked home his first goal of the season.
Mackay, whose side dropped their first points at home, said: "The free-kick was an incredible decision. I spoke to the ref who said he knew why he gave it, so I left it at that.
"It gave us an uphill battle that became harder when we lost a second goal.
"On another day we could have hit six or seven but we didn't and have to accept that."

Single-molecule imaging enables biophysical measurements devoid of ensemble averaging, gives enhanced spatial resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit, and enables superresolution reconstruction of structures beyond the diffraction limit. This work summarizes how single-molecule and superresolution imaging can be applied to the study of protein dynamics and superstructures in live Caulobacter crescentus cells to illustrate the power of these methods in bacterial imaging. Based on these techniques, the diffusion coefficient and dynamics of the histidine protein kinase PleC, the localization behavior of the polar protein PopZ, and the treadmilling behavior and protein superstructure of the structural protein MreB are investigated with sub-40-nm spatial resolution, all in live cells.

Puducherry Jan 29: Chairman of National Fish Workers Forum (NFF) M Ilango today urged External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to ensure that a permanent solution was evolved during her forthcoming visit to Sri Lanka to end woes of Indian fishermen.
Ilango said in a release today that it was hoped by fishermen of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry when the NDA formed the government at the Centre in 214 that they would get a positive development and that they would face no hardships after the NDA came to power.
He said that during the previous Congress led UPA rule at the Centre talks were held and release of incarcerated fishermen of Tamilnadu also followed due to steps taken by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
He appealed to the Minister to make use of her forthcoming visit to Colombo on February 5 to ensure that a permanent solution was evolved through dialogues with the Sri Lankan government to end the woes of the fishermen of Tamilnadu and Puducherry who were facing hardships due to their arrest by Sri Lankan navy for alleged trespass into the territorial waters of island republic.

William Windom
This is the first book devoted exclusively to the political career of William Windom. It illuminates not only the personal biography of Windom, arguably Minnesota's most influential political figure of the 19th century, but it also casts much light on the differences between the Democratic and Republican parties during the period 1860-1890. Salisbury offers evidence which refutes the traditional view of the Gilded Age that Republicans were the party of big business, characterized by a mediocrity of leadership and permeated by corruption and venality. Rather, Windom and a majority of both parties maintained a consistent stance throughout this period on such questions as the desirability of governmental intervention in the economy, the regulation of private behavior by governmental coercion, and attitudes toward the nation's number of groups which were discriminated against, including women and blacks. An intensive analysis of William Windom's political career - he served in the U.S. House of Representatives for ten years, in the U.S. Senate for twelve years, and was twice appointed Secretary of the Treasury - reveals the post-Civil War era to hold several more nuances than contemporary beliefs allow. Salisbury offers important observations about the essence of both parties and the general political mood of the 19th century.

With the total amount of websites present on the World Wide Web exceeding the tally of 1 billion, the globe is slowly in transition from switching from the physical side of things to the digital side. Reliable payment gateway solutions have enabled websites to start accepting online payments without compromising the customer's credentials, which in turn have allowed online businesses to become a hub for everyday transactions. This has allowed E-commerce websites to make up a healthy percentage of the total number of websites that are running live on the World Wide Web. While E-commerce business has refined the transactional experience and magnetized the effect it has on consumers to start exchange of products profusely, the following features are sure to expedite the process of turning an E-commerce website in to a killer one.
Forum section
One feature that most business owners overlook when making their online business live is negating to include a forum section in it. Even though having a forum section will require the user to perform the tedious operation of having to create their own username and password, the interactive quality that a forum section possesses turns the online business in to a lethal combination. There are an abounding number of features belonging to the forum sections that enable the element of interaction between users. Some of them include having a customer feedback section, where the user can rate the quality of service being delivered to them after placing an order for a specific item(s). Majority of E-commerce websites cater to a particular type of niche such as technological hardware, and will not deviate that niche in order to keep their clientele exclusive. The feedback section present in the forums will also allow users to start requesting additional line-up of products. As long as there is a demand of a particular product, brand or chain of products, the business owners will do everything in their power to increase their clientele counter.
Review section
Another feature that will help the E-commerce website to turn in to an embellished one is a review section. After receiving the product, the customer will no doubt meticulously examine the product that they have received and depending on the quality of service of the product; they can present an impartial review of their experience. The review section can be divided in to three sections.
The pros and cons section can be dedicated towards providing the review of the product to better edify potential customers looking to purchase the exact same product. The 'other thoughts' section can be dedicated towards reviewing the level of service delivered by the online business, where the reviewer can rate the scale of service on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 defining poor delivery service, and 10 defining exceptional service.
News portal
For every product, there is always going to be an upgraded variant that will provide additional features for the same price. In order to keep consumers up to date with what they are about to purchase, a news portal section should be added, stating the latest products that have been or will be released in the future. This will create sufficient amount of awareness to let customers know when to stay away from an obsolete product and at the same time, create enough enticement to allow them to purchase that product. Products that have an updated variant present on the same website should be highlighted in order for the customer to compare both products and decide which one would give the 'best bang for the buck'.
There is always going to be room for improvement when online businesses are concerned. The aforementioned features will no doubt bring the website one step closer to the near perfection of what an E-commerce website should look like.

Whatever your plans, comfortable clothing is essential. Lightweight cottons and linens are advisable for day wear while light woolens are suggested for evenings. Try to avoid synthetic fabrics, which may not be as breathable as natural fibers.
Letting the cool Atlantic breeze blow through your clothing will go a long way toward keeping you comfortable in the tropical temperatures. Additionally, waterproof clothing and rain wear are a necessity all year long. Rain showers in Puerto Rico usually come up suddenly, come down hard, and end fairly quickly, so you need to be prepared with a waterproof jacket or umbrella. Opt for clothing that is easy to carry that you can quickly slip on and then put away again when the sun reappears.
If you're planning on visiting the mountain regions, you'll want to pack a jacket, sweater, or other warm attire, as the altitudes and cool breezes can make the mornings and evenings quite chilly. Don't forget comfortable shoes for walking, and sun glasses to prevent the sun from ruining your view.
Unlike Martinique or Jamaica, there are no nude beaches or resorts on Puerto Rico, but the island's social climate feels more like Latin America than the United States, so the atmosphere is very laid back. Swim wear is fine for the beach and leisurewear for the resorts, but elsewhere a little dressing up is in order. Nighttime in San Juan is somewhat informal, and nothing too fancy is required unless attending a formal event, visiting a casino, or dining in an upscale restaurant, but some common-sense clothing choices will keep you appropriate.
If you are traveling to the island for business, lightweight suits are appropriate business attire. The usual Western formalities and courtesies are observed in Puerto Rico. In the end, the best thing to do is to use common sense. If it wouldn't be appropriate where you live, it's probably safe to say Puerto Ricans would be uncomfortable seeing you wear it.
Pack light, pack smart, and pack for comfort, and you're sure to look great in Puerto Rico.

News : New Call Centre Lays Off More Than 50% of its Workforce
Dec 22, 2014 -- A call centre company that opened in a blaze of publicity in October and received backing from Invest NI, laid off six members of staff, more than 50 per cent of its workforce, last week.
Lakeland Trading Solutions Ltd, operating out of Erne House in the Killyhevlin Industrial Estate, initially employed 11 members of staff with a view to growing this to 49 next year.
Speaking at the official launch, Enniskillen Chartered Accountant, Matthew Martin had pointed to an "abundance of talent" in insurance sales in Fermanagh as the main reason for deciding to locate the company in the town.
But his business partner, Lee Hanford confirmed on Tuesday this week that only four staff members now remained after employees were informed at the close of play last Thursday that they were no longer required.
The father of one of the staff members has told the Impartial Reporter his 30-year-old daughter was "devastated" to learn that her contract had been terminated.
"The staff have been treated so shabbily," he told this newspaper.
"They were told that their jobs were gone. "She is devastated but she smelled a rat from the start.
"She had worked for BT before and she felt the training she got for this job was very basic -- it didn't seem right to her.
"The day before she was due to start working there she got a text to say 'please don't start tomorrow, we have no computers' -- in a call centre!"
During the company's launch Mr. Martin said Lakeland Trading Solutions Ltd was giving unemployed people "a chance at a career". 53 people applied for these jobs," he had said at the time, "There's so many people in Enniskillen who can sell and can offer something."
"There's an abundance of talent in Enniskillen; people who are able and who actually have insurance and call centre experience.
"I thought to myself that there must be an opportunity to reverse that trend and allow people to step into something else while using their skill sets...
"There's a massive amount of people who are crying out for opportunities and, without sounding cheesy, I'm here to bring that opportunity."
But this week business partner Mr. Hanford said: "I know it sounds quite cruel but this is a sales industry and that is commerce.
"Everyone was on a probation period."
The company's core business is to sell insurance.
According to Mr. Hanford, when the employees were unable to deliver on this, the business diversified into providing quotes on energy switching companies.
"We wanted to give them a second chance," he explained. "We tried a number of contracts with them. But it takes a special person to be able to sell. We gave them an easier product to sell and it just wasn't working out.
"We diversified into energy but we were throwing good money at it and it just wasn't sustainable. So we have gone back to our core business and we will drive that forward now. We gave them wider support, too. We brought over an experienced call centre manager to give them that extra support."
"However at some point you have got to be cruel to be kind for the overall benefit of the business. We regret particularly at this time of year letting people go but unfortunately for the business to be sustainable some harsh decisions had to be made. They have been given their pay, plus notice, plus any annual leave they were due."
Mr. Hanford explained that of the remaining four staff, one local man had been promoted to a managerial role.
"We are making sure we reward those who do well. This is a small business and we have to make difficult decisions.
"They were given every opportunity and we kept the best and promoted a local guy. We will recruit again in the new year to replace what we had to let go."
Mr. Hanford said he remained confident that the company could still grow to a staff structure of 49 next year.
"In April we will proceed with the next tranche of employment. The insurance is going well," he added.

Jamyi Witch - Wiccan Chaplain - Has A Complicated Sex Life
Oshkosh, Wis. (The Weekly Vice) - Jamyi Witch, a 52-year-old Wiccan chaplain was jailed after she allegedly drugged an inmate, had sex with him and then staged a hostage incident in an effort to get the pair transferred to another prison.
According to police, Witch told investigators that she was held hostage in her office by a prisoner who barricaded the door and then sexually assaulted her during an alleged visit.
Witch, who works as a Wiccan chaplain at the Wisconsin State Prison, was hired by the state amid much controversy back in 2001.
The situation reportedly ended peacefully after Witch said she fed the inmate sleeping pills.
The story Witch told, however, fell apart when police allegedly intercepted a letter that the inmate had sent to his mother describing a different scenario.
In that letter, the inmate described a plan that Witch had devised, which involved a fake hostage situation that was intended to get both the inmate and Witch transferred to another facility.
Investigators say the inmate and Witch barricaded the door to her office before Witch fed him several sleeping pills. She then reportedly engaged in sexual acts with the inmate before reporting the incident to jail administrators.
Witch has pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting an inmate.

I collect cookbooks from all over the world and use them to create new dishes. These smooth caramels have a scrumptious macadamia-coconut flavor. —Sharon Delaney-Chronis, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Featured In: Homemade Food Gift Packaging Ideas
- 1 teaspoon plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup

- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Line an 8-in. square baking dish with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, cream of tartar and remaining butter; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until a candy thermometer reads 244° (firm-ball stage).
- Remove from the heat; stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into prepared dish. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
- Using foil, lift candy out of dish. Gently peel off foil; cut caramel into 1-in. squares. Wrap individually in waxed paper; twist ends. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 1-1/2 pounds.
Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

Some Florida residents virtually eliminate carpets entirely, however, for those of us in West Palm Beach that love our carpeting's, we typically need to deal with a few problems that our non-carpeted friends don't stains, spots, as well as challenging dust.
Some Florida homeowners virtually get rid of carpeting entirely, however, for those of us in West Palm Beach that enjoy our carpeting's, we usually need to take care of a few issues that our non-carpeted buddies do not– stains, places, and also hard dirt. Obviously, the very best remedy to these troubles is a great, antique expert pool cleaning west palm beach.
Even when you decide for a professional to take over the work, the truth is you typically aren't going to have a professional constantly at your beck and call 24/7. So, even if you do take care of your carpets with routine cleanings, there are posting likely to be times when you need to do a little personal cleansing on your own up until the following time you can get a pro into doing the job.
Below or are a number of carpeting cleaning suggestions that might work for you in a pinch. Tip # 1– Your First Move The very first thing you might want to try is vacuuming the spot with a shop-vac. You will intend to take care concerning cleaning with a regular vacuum cleaner since you may do more injury compared to excellent.
The factor for this is you don't want to scrub the upsetting material into the carpeting. And if you have a less-than-powerful vacuum cleaner, this may be just what you end up doing if you run the vacuum cleaner over the spot once again and also again. With a wet/dry shop-vac, however, you could place the nozzle of the hose directly down into the place and potentially draw the liquid or material straight up out of the carpet.

A five-judge constitutional bench, headed by Chief Justice S H Kapadia, however, left a window of opportunity open saying the pending proceedings before the Sessions court against the Chief Judicial Magistrate's judgement awarding two years sentence to the accused, including Union Carbide India Chairman Keshub Mahindra will not be influenced by any order passed by it.
The bench said that the CBI and the MP government have failed to come out with a satisfactory explanation on filing the curative petition after a lapse of 14 years.
The unanimous order was passed by the bench that included justices Altamas Kabir, R V Raveendran, B Sudershan Reddy and Aftab Alam.
The CBI and the Madhya Pradesh government filed the curative petitions after a public outcry over what was considered as a mild punishment for a tragedy that claimed over 15,000 lives in December 1984 and had left several thousands maimed by the leakage of deadly Methyl Isocyanate gas.
In 1996, a two-judge bench of the apex court, headed by the then Chief Justice A H Ahmadi had diluted the charges against the accused from Section 304 Part II of the IPC providing for a maximum of ten years imprisonment to Section 304(A) that deals with rash and negligence act with a maximum punishment of two years.
The CBI and the MP government have filed revision petitions in the Sessions court against the judgement of the CJM, Bhopal, which had awarded two years jail term to various accused in the Bhopal gas tragedy case.
The CBI had sought recall of the apex court's 14-year-old judgement that had diluted the charges against the accused, who were prosecuted just for the offence of being negligent.
In its plea, the CBI had sought restoration of stringent charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder instead of death caused due to negligence against the accused in the world's worst industrial disaster.
Madhya Pradesh government had also moved the apex court, endorsing the CBI plea for review of the September 1996 judgement by which the accused persons were tried for the offence of criminal negligence which resulted in a lighter punishment of two years' jail term to Mahindra and six others on June 7, 2010.
The others who escaped with lighter punishment included UCIL erstwhile Managing Director Vijay Gokhale, its Vice President Kishore Kamdar, Works Manager J N Mukund, Production Manager S P Choudhary, Plant Superintendent K V Shetty and Production Assistant S I Quereshi.
The apex court had on August 31 last decided to re-examine its own judgement that led to lighter punishment of two years imprisonment for all the seven convicts.
The verdict had sparked a nationwide outrage following which the government set up a group of ministers and filed a curative petition against the lighter punishment for those responsible for the gas tragedy.

The Dog StarMature
Loneliness is a cruel mistress.
"What have I done?"
he could not escape the term, even this far from civilization.
He could not stop himself from killing.
Silas stared down at his trap, and saw the wolf lying dead. A young cub nudging it gently, as if trying to wake her.
His eyes welled up and he fell to his knees.
"Oh god…what have I done?" His head hung low.
Had he hunted for the animal himself…there would be no such incident.
He reached out for the young cub, but it cried out and Silas looked around in a panic.
"No more of these damned traps….NO MORE!"
He scooped up the trap he had fashioned of wood and rope and brought it with him to the camp and threw it in the flames of his fireplace.
Returning to the wolf, he scooped her up into his arms and brought her home. The cub followed his mother.
Silas tried to shoo the wolf cub away, but he would do no such thing.
How could he? He wants his mother to wake up.
So imagining the cub's confusion, as Silas began to dig, made him weep even more.
He fell to his knees and whispered gentle words to the wolf as he lowered her into a grave. A mountain man would have skinned her. He considered it, but thought it inappropriate to do so in front of the cub.
He buried the wolf, and the cub tried to dig her out a number of times. It was a heart wrenching sight. Desperation for the love of one's mother, Silas knew the feeling. He wished his mother was here, able to console him like she used to before he became this monster. He remembered her lullaby,
"Sleep little Silas, Sleep little angel.
Close your eyes and dream away.
Remember my beloved little angel,
The love of angels is here to stay."
He tried to complete it, to sing it to the cub. But he couldn't.
But it didn't matter anyway. The cub was asleep. And Silas dried his eyes and smiled faintly.
This was the first night in years he did not converse with the skies.
He held the cub in his arms and brought him inside.
And to make up for his renaming of the star, he decided.
"Sleep well, little Sirius."
He decided he would dare to allow himself a little light of companionship in this lonely life.
And this companion would allow Silas some comfort.
Comfort, the thing which had long escaped Silas, had now found its way into his life.
Albeit in a tragic way, but it seems that two sons of tragedy were destined to be companions. And I don't think either of them, Sirius or Silas, minded that.

Killer of three in Jennifer Hudson's family gets life
By Mary Wisniewski
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The man convicted of murdering Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and young nephew was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday, with the judge in the case deriding him as a man with "the heart of an arctic night."
William Balfour had been convicted in May of breaking into the Hudson family home and fatally shooting Hudson's mother Darnell Donerson, 57, her brother Jason Hudson, 29, and her 7-year-old nephew Julian King.
Cook County Judge Charles Patrick Burns sentenced Balfour to three consecutive life terms with no opportunity for parole, plus 120 years for aggravated kidnapping and home invasion.
Prior to announcing his sentence, Burns told Balfour: "You have the heart of an arctic night. Your soul is as barren as dark space."
Hudson, wearing a tan pantsuit with a black jacket and high heels, wiped her eyes frequently during the sentencing hearing. Hudson, who won an Academy Award for her role in the movie "Dreamgirls" and a Grammy for her debut album, left the court without making a statement.
Balfour's motive was jealousy of his estranged wife Julia Hudson, Jennifer's sister, whom he threatened numerous times, saying he would kill her after he killed her family, according to witnesses at the 11-day trial that ended with his conviction on May 11.
Gregory King, father of Hudson's murdered 7-year-old nephew Julian, spoke to the court before the sentencing.
When King learned that his son had been killed, "Instantly it was like a chunk of my heart was ripped out," he said. "I felt hopeless. I was filled with rage for William Balfour, the man who murdered my son." Continued...

I've purchased a series of omnilux light treatments. I had the first one a week ago. I had two strips of gauze rested on top of my eyes, and then a pair of black plastic eye cups rested really lightly over that. The technician said the light was bright, but it was harmless and you 'got used to it'. When the light was switched on, and I literally jumped. It was blinding - like looking directly into the sun. My eyes watered for the entire treatment. Is this expected? Is this normal/ok?

|Campagnolo Chorus 11 Cassette
The Campagnolo Chorus 11 Cassette is made from steel, unlike its Record and Super Record siblings.

So...
