text: CHICAGO, June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CBOE Futures Exchange, LLC (CFE) on Monday, June 24 will revise the pricing method for its S&P 500 Variance (VA) futures contract, which began trading on CFE in December 2012. The change involves the timing of when CFE converts volatility points to futures prices so that the prices of VA futures are more directly comparable to prices in the over-the-counter (OTC) variance swap market. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121022/MM97794LOGO-d) The conversion, which previously was calculated during the trading session, now will occur after the close of trading in Variance futures. This change allows CFE to include the current day's closing value for the S&P 500 in the conversion calculation. "Working with market participants to grow variance trading and the volatility space is a very high priority for CFE this year and beyond," CFE Senior Managing Director Jim Lubin said. "Given the feedback we've received from customers, we think they will embrace this contract change, which now more closely aligns our S&P 500 Variance futures contract with OTC variance swaps. In addition, VA futures continue to offer customers the benefits inherent in exchange-traded products." Variance futures measure the difference between the expected and actual variance of an underlying instrument over a fixed time period. The VA futures contract is aimed at both existing OTC users and customers who have not traditionally participated in the OTC variance swap market – both who increasingly may be looking to use exchange-traded products to mitigate counterparty risk. For more information on S&P 500 Variance futures: Regulatory Circular CFERG13-018 at http://cfe.cboe.com/aboutcfe/legal/regcirc.aspx. About CBOE Futures Exchange:CBOE Futures Exchange currently offers eight contracts: CBOE Volatility Index (The VIX Index) futures (VX), Mini-VIX futures (VM), S&P 500 Variance futures (VA), CBOE NASDAQ-100 Volatility Index (VXN) futures (VN), CBOE Gold ETF Volatility Index (GVZ) security futures (GV), CBOE Crude Oil ETF Volatility Index (OVX) security futures (OV), CBOE Emerging Markets ETF Volatility Index (VXEEM) security futures (VXEM) and CBOE Brazil ETF Volatility Index (VXEWZ) security futures (VXEW).

Cyndie Allemann Racing Diary, Episode 2012.06
by Eric Gilbert on 24 June 2012 in Audi News Motorsport
Editor's Note: Those of us here at Fourtitude are excited about the 2012 racing season. With more Audis than ever before competing at the top levels of motor racing, there will be plenty for Audi fans and motorsport enthusiasts to follow this season. One campaign and one driver in particular that we'll be watching is Cyndie Allemann as she continues to break barriers for women in motorsport, this time at the wheel of an Audi R8 LMS. Those with keen memory of Le Mans may recall that Cyndie raced a Ford GT as part of an all female squad in 2010 that also included Audi DTM driver Rahel Frey. This racing season Cyndie is off to Japan and, working with the talented Eric Gilbert of Motorsport.com fame, has submitted the latest in a series about her 2012 season in both words and pictures.
Friday, 2012-06-08. Sepang, Malaysia – Fast times in Sepang.
The time period between mid-May and mid-June is most likely the busiest for the racing community, with major races all over the world. And as usual with Cyndie, everything goes even faster. After a busy week back at her karting shop in Switzerland, attending her team events and different corporate events, she is back at Sepang for her second visit in only two weeks. Indeed, she came here at the end of May to get some practice time at the challenging Sepang International Circuit, racing in the Malaysian Super Series. Well, not only she did get some practice time, but she ended up winning the race in the process, becoming the first ever female driver to win a race in Malaysia and most likely in Asia.
She was now back for the real deal, to race in the third round of the Super GT 2012 season. It was with a lot of confidence that Cyndie arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Friday morning (at 6!). Once out of the airport, it was straight to the sea side city of Port Dickson for an early check-in at her hotel. Over there, Cyndie took a little bit of time for herself to relax and enjoy the swimming pool. Down time was short though, and in the afternoon, Cyndie headed to the track as the real work begins.
"My spirit is very positive coming here this weekend, especially because of my race win in the MSS two weeks ago. I'm familiar with the track, now. Also, I really like this second trip to Malaysia. Two weeks ago, my hotel was in Kuala Lumpur. This time, I'm on the sea side in Port Dickson in a beach resort. It's a very cool place with a swimming pool and the beach, a very beautiful area. I had some business to do in Switzerland this week, so I'm arriving here a bit late, on Friday morning. It's important for me to be able to relax a bit before the weekend craziness, if only for 3-4 hours."
Saturday, 2012-06-09. Sepang, Malaysia – A day of contrasts and mixed emotions.
Saturday would prove to be a day of contrasts and mixed emotions for Cyndie: car speed issues on one hand, and huge popularity on the other. But first things first: after a night of rest and a Malaysian breakfast at the hotel, it was time to hit the road and head to the track for Saturday morning practice session. Heat and humidity were already a problem on Saturday morning, but both were (still) nothing compared with the real issue Cyndie and her teammate Aki would have to face throughout the weekend: lack of pure speed. In fact, their Audi R8 LMS was 15 kph slower than the fastest GT300 cars. Both are extremely talented and combative drivers, so they had to push as much as they can to compensate this handicap, but it was not enough to go in the Super Lap qualifying session.
On a more positive note, Cyndie soon realized that her popularity in Japan also followed her in Malaysia and Saturday's fan pitwalk (as well as Sunday's, too) was an never ending flow of fans asking for autographs and photos. One can really feels the genuine interest and passion that they have, so it is with the same feeling that she obliged to all those requests.
"On track, we immediately realized on Saturday morning that our car was not fast enough because of the balance of performance that is not quite in our favor. Straight line speed is definitely an issue with our standard R8 LMS. On the pit straight, we were 15 kph off the fastest cars, which is a huge handicap. We had to battle in the braking zones and in the corners to try and get our time back, but even that was not enough to score a top-10 in qualifying. My teammate qualified the car in 19th position, after a few setup issues because we changed our tire compound."
Sunday, 2012-06-10. Sepang, Malaysia – An exceptional athlete going beyond the limit.
Race day would be one of extreme limits for Cyndie Allemann. She experienced the brutal Sepang heat two weeks ago and things got even worst for the Super GT race. The whole day and more specifically the race was a physical and emotional roller coaster ride for the Swiss race car driver. Starting 19th, she went through a stop-and-go penalty (actually, two…), a spin (after being pushed by another car), and passing many competitors in dog fights to work her way back in the field. Despite all this, she and Aki finished 14th, much better than their starting position, thanks to the work done on the car setup in the morning warmup.
But even more impressive: she did one of the longest stints of all the drivers at Sepang and when she gave the wheel back to her teammate after 1 hour and 15 minutes, she was in a state of dehydration, which forced a visit to the track medical center. Being a top professional athlete, she pushed herself to her extreme limit, and even beyond. She demonstrated to everyone that nothing will ever stop her, even extreme weather conditions. This is Cyndie, an amazing athlete and determined to become even tougher..
"In the cockpit, it was more than 55C. I could feel getting burned all over, especially at the feet and legs, and even more important at my head. I didn't have any air to breathe. The hardest to manage was coming out of the car when I really felt dizzy and my head was spinning. I've never experience those symptoms before and I was quite surprised. In fact, I had to go to the medical center. As soon as this week, I'll make a few researches for a new physical workout so that at the next race where it's very hot, I don't find myself in this type of situation."
About Cyndie Allemann
A World class driver, top athlete and brand ambassador. Always a fan favorite, whether in Europe, in the USA and soon in Japan, 26 years old Cyndie Allemann was literally born for speed.
Her 19-year racing career has seen her compete at the highest levels in many different series and tracks around the World: karting (winning the European junior title when she was only thirteen), open-wheel (EuroF3, Indy Lights, etc.), GT (FIA-GT1 World Championship) and endurance racing (GT1 podium at Spa in the Le Mans Series, 24 Hours of Le Mans, etc.). In 2012, she will compete in the Japan Super GT series with the Hitotsuyama Racing Audi R8 LMS.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hi,Welcome to Just Answer, My name isXXXXX will be helping you with your appliance issue today.
Okay first off it's the rear bearing that's shot, the problem with that is they do not sell the bearing separate from the tub itself, you would need to replace the whole rear tub assembly to fix this problem, W10253866 is the part #. This is one of the biggest jobs there is and one the most expensive, this rear tub assembly is $371.00 plus the shipping so right there you looking at over $400, not to mention the amount of labor in this is astronomical, you have to literally tear the whole machine apart to replace this, if you had this done by a technician you're looking at probably $700, to do-it-yourself you're still looking at over $400, I would think about replacing the machine at this point, if you wish here is a link if you want to attempt this yourself but there is no way we would be able talk you through it, it would take months, but here's the link to the part and I will add a link also for all the diagrams, part , diagrams I hope this information is useful, thanks and well wishes, Bryan

You can get more vitamins and minerals from this vegetable than most of the big time produce players like broccoli, brussels sprouts or swiss chard. The problem usually lies less with your willingness to eat such a healthful vegetables and more with the fact that you really just don't like its taste. I have two words for you: kale chips. When baked, kale crisps up and with just a touch of seasoning you can have your favorite chip variety in your very own home. This article, Kale-icious Chips!, from FitSugar gives you great recipes as well as the best packaged kale chips you can buy. If Dan Barber is doing it, then it has to be good. Enjoy!\n\n\u0026nbsp;

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Wes Welker and Deion Branch lead the list of inactive players for New England's final game of the 2010-2011 season against Miami. Welker is out for non-injury reasons while Branch is nursing a bum knee. The two are joined by Tully Banta-Cain (groin), Dan Connolly (concussion), Ron Brace (elbow), Brandon Deaderick, Mike Wright (concussion), and Aaron Hernandez (hip).
The Patriots are 13-2 and have the AFC's #1 seed locked up, so resting up should do pretty well for the Patriots; it almost won the Celtics an NBA title last season. Having Week 17 off, and getting a bye week after that will really go a long way to maximizing the recovery of the injured players before getting them practice for a few days before the second round.
It's when you start sitting healthy players when you run into problems. The Colts love doing that, and that strategy hasn't worked out too well for them. Tom Brady will go, and while it wouldn't be surprising to see Brian Hoyer at some point, Bill Belichick has been known to play Tom Brady with up to 40-point leads, so Brady looks to go for a good chunk of the game, especially with the best record in the NFL on the line.
Plus, the Patriots have a Super Bowl embarrassment to shake off, as well as a 2010 Wildcard exit. They'll be much too focused to rest healthy players a whole lot.

Paying more at the pump
(Cleveland)- Gasoline prices in Cleveland are near the $4 mark...
The average for a gallon of regular gas in Cleveland today is $3.92. Last week we were paying $3.84, a month ago prices were about 30-cents cheaper than today's prices.
This compares with the national average that has not moved in the last week to $3.64 according to http://www.gasbuddy.com/. Motorists in Ohio are paying an extra quarter or more per gallon.
The state average is about 32 cents higher than a month ago and 33 cents higher than at the same time in 2012.
Analysts have said rising oil prices amid fears about refinery problems in the Great Lakes pushed pump prices above $4 in some parts of Ohio last week.

Apple has always been hailed by users to be the safest OS compared to Windows and Linux. But it seems, the security of Mac OS systems was over-glorified. Digital security software maker Kaspersky Lab's CEO believes that Apple is '10 years' behind Microsoft on security. After the widespread Flashback malware attack on Mac devices recently, users should take notice.
Eugene Kaspersky, CEO and co-founder of Kaspersky Lab, said, ""I think [Apple] are ten years behind Microsoft in terms of security." According to Kaspersky, Mac and Windows systems are not that different from a security point of view. Mac systems were always vulnerable to malwares similar to Windows systems. It was just that Mac didn't have the huge user base like Windows, and hackers (and crackers) were ignoring it like an 'underdog'. But, as Mac systems are gaining popularity to the masses as well as corporate users, it lured the goons with its success.
"Apple is now entering the same world as Microsoft has been in for more than 10 years: updates, security patches and so on," Kaspersky told CBR.
From the user reaction at different websites on Kaspersky's comments about Mac security, it seems that many are acknowledging the fact but some proud Mac users are too proud to submit.
My advice to those would be, "Don't be naïve." Do you think I am being too aggressive?

Hey guys,
Found a designer partner and it's time to break ground on some themes. I'm going to be in charge of the HTML / CSS conversion, I have a lot of experience in this area.
Are there any helpful resources out there? I'll be using the skeleton css boilerplate so I'm all set there. I notice all the themes have the ability to change their colors, using a "switcher". Is this something I need to create myself or are there public ones out there to use?
Not sure if I'll need anything else, if there are any blog articles out there about starting as an author on ThemeForest that would be helpful.
Thanks guys!
you can try http://www.codecanyon.net may be you can get a style-switcher script to buy …

What lies about your hero? He did in fact cower in that classroom for a good 7 minutes after being told the nation was under attack. The first plane hit before he went in and he was told about that.<quoted text>Called off? Those F-15s from Otis made it to Manhattan...too late. Nobody told them to stand down.
Your lies about Bush are foul, Kosmik. Especially when you know your boy WENT TO BED the night of Benghazi then went to Las Vegas the next morning.
Next, he ceded command to Cheney while he jumped around, unable to do a thing.
The interceptors from Otis were scrambled too late and were still called off. That sounds like someone or several someone's wanted the towers to go down.
There's no comparison to Benghazi. Your boys got 3,000 killed in the attack and thousands more killed wandering where they didn't belong.

Motorhome rally rolls into valley, brings business
INDIO, Calif. - More than 1,200 motorhomes rolled into the Riverside County fairgrounds in Indio for the 26th annual Western Motor Home Association rally. "This is our social activity," said Robert "Rick" Ricordati, the national vice president of the western area family motor coach association. "Everywhere we go, these are all our friends."
The motorhome exhibition, which takes place through Saturday, January 11, is one facet of a rally hosted by a motorhomes owners group called the Western Motor Home Association. The event draws about 3,000 people, mostly thanks to our ideal winter weather. "It's nice and warm," said Mark Brown, who's visiting from Santa Maria, California. "There's no frost on the bumper in the morning."
The Western Motor Home association is part of Family Motor Coach Association, an international organization, for motorhome owners that is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and currently has nearly 80,000 active member families. The four day rally gives friends a chance to catch up, show off their rides, and play games like bingo. It also gives these motorhome enthusiasts a chance to share their passion for living on four wheels with others. "I think it keeps us young," said Toni Brown, visiting from Santa Maria. "I think we're doing something different all the time, so we're broadening our horizons and meeting new people."
The activities stretch outside the fairgrounds, too. The crowds bring business to local stores and restaurants. "Every year, they come in," said Jack Kane, a bartender at Cactus Jack's Grill and Bar in Indio. "THey love to eat, they love to dine, they always ask for the private room and we love taking care of them. They're a good group of people."
Organizers estimate the group will pump about $3 million into the city of Indio by the time the last motorhome leaves. Something the association is happy to do. "We like the community here," said Ricordati.
Members of the public are invited to take part in the motorhome show portion. Display hours for motorhomes are from 1:30 pm until 4:30 pm on Wednesday, January 8; hours for motorhome and other exhibits are 9 am until 4pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Motorhome dealers from throughout California will participate in the show. In addition to the more than 100 motorhomes that will be open for display (including various types and sizes), show attendees can browse through motorhome components, accessories, home products, clothing and accessories and more displayed at approximately 150 vendor spaces. Along with the displays, more than 1,200 families will be arriving in their motorhomes to attend the event and take up temporary residence at the fairgrounds.
Daily admission to the motorhome show is $10 per person for non-FMCA members ($8 for members); children admitted free. This fee is good for admission to the exhibits and seminars only; other activities are reserved for rally attendees.

Suncor Energy Inc. hiked its quarterly dividend this week, but Raymond James analyst Justin Bouchard argues the company should be much more generous in shoveling out income to shareholders.
In a conference call to discuss the company's first-quarter results, management highlighted that it wants the dividend -- which now yields about 1.6 per cent annually -- "to be meaningful, competitive and sustainable," Mr. Bouchard notes.
"We would argue that the current dividend is neither meaningful nor competitive -- at least relative to other comparable exploration and production companies," which average a dividend yield of about 3.7 per cent, he said.
Suncor, he says, is in an enviable position. Its balance sheet has significant flexibility, with considerable cash flow and lots of potential to grow its operations organically. But whether it should grow -- instead of focusing on rewarding shareholders with cash -- is another question.
"From a growth perspective, there are very few similar sized companies that can grow at the rates Suncor is proposing," Mr. Bouchard said. "However, from a total return perspective -- the big question is whether it makes sense to grow aggressively or rather to moderate growth rates and boost the dividend."
If the company grows aggressively, there's the potential for inflating costs in the oil sands eroding the already razor thin returns on mining projects ever further," he said.
Whether Suncor boosts its dividend further or not, Mr. Bouchard is recommending the stock.
"We continue to believe that investors should take a close look at Suncor for a number of reasons -- the company's balance sheet is in very good shape, the company is committed to returning cash to shareholders and from a valuation perspective, it is trading at attractive levels. However, we are still concerned about spending levels over the next four or five years and the impact of low (or non-existent) returns on oil sands mining projects."
Upside: Mr. Bouchard reiterated a six to 12-month price target of $43 and "outperform" rating.
CIBC World Markets analyst Perry Caicco has upgraded Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. to "sector outperformer" following discussions with management that centred on its $2.8-billion deal to buy the retail unit of Statoil ASA. He raised his earnings estimates on the convenience store operator for the next two years as he made favourable revisions to tax rate and gross margin expectations.
Upside: Mr. Caicco raised his price target by $8 to $51.
Loblaw Cos. Ltd. "has an enormous task ahead of it," commented CIBC's Perry Caicco after the grocery giant reported weak same-store sales growth of plus 0.2 per cent in its latest quarter. Mr. Caicco dropped his earnings estimates as he grew more pessimistic on the sales outlook, believing it may take at least three more years for Loblaw to achieve a significant boost in earnings growth.
Upside: Mr. Caicco dropped his price target by $1 to $39 and maintained a "sector performer" rating.
Desjardins Securities analyst Adam Melnyk has slashed his price target on West Kirkland Mining Inc. in anticipation that the company will have to issue more equity to fund operations. He also scaled back his expectations for the size of the company's TUG gold-silver deposit in Nevada. "West Kirkland represents a highly speculative investment with the potential for significant share price appreciation should the company's exploration work successfully delineate mineral resources at its projects in Nevada and/or Kirkland Lake," he said.
Upside: Mr. Melnyk cut his price target to $1.30 from $2 but maintained a "buy" rating.
Constellation Software Inc. reported lower-than-expected first-quarter earnings and revenue, but cash flow remained robust. Versant Partners analyst Tom Liston believes the stock should be a core holding for investors, citing its "best in class" management team to execute on its acquisition strategy.
Upside: Mr. Liston cut his price target by $2 to $105 and maintained a "buy" rating.Report Typo/Error

For most gym bunnies, workout regimes are about more than just working up a sweat. If looking good en-route to the gym is as important as atop a treadmill, new activewear brand WORKOUTLIFE has every aspect of your fitness schedule figured out.
Founded by marketing expert and yoga teacher Rebecca Quade and created by fashion designer Ebru Ercon, the brand cleverly divides the different facets of sportswear into three easily digestible sections. WORK covers all manner of high-performance, full-impact and seriously sweaty apparel; OUT is about contemporary workwear for hanging around dance classes and yoga studios; and LIFE offers sophisticated basics for all low-impact activities and, well, slobbing. Any fitness brand that acknowledges us couch potatoes is all right by me. (workoutlife.com)

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Tha Locstah, Nov 10, 2008.
It's what I would do. Strategically, trading a pawn for your opponent's rook is a great move.
Full balance means the difference between face amount and what the Nuggs paid? So, anyone could have grabbed him for 2 years for $6M and he would have had no choice, right? Seems like a team like Boston should have done that.
I have no idea if they have room, but wouldn't it make sense for Orlando to go after him? It would allow them to go bigger for once.
Yes, whatever Dice's existing deal signed with the Pistons is, is what the team making a waiver claim would be responsible for. That contract only becomes null after he clears waivers, in which case, his current team (DEN) would be responsible for it. That's why no one goes on waivers until a buyout is agreed. Once he clears, he gets his full contract unless there is an agreement in place. NBA Salary Cap FAQ Boston could grab him for his existing deal, except that they are capped out. You need to be at least $6 million under the cap (not the luxury tax threshold) in order to add that salary. http://www.storytellerscontracts.info/resources/08-09teamsalaries.htm NBA Salary Cap FAQ Looks like only Memphis would have enough room to add him. To clarify something I think some people are still unsure about, That's 30 days after waivers. What is concerning about this, is that during those 30 days, Dice might receive a lot of phone calls. It's not tampering when you're a free agent.
Can we talk to him during this period?
I would assume so, but don't quote me on that. Everyone talks regardless, they do it through agents. But you could potentially have out and out lobbying by players like Pierce, KG directly to Dice. And not just those guys. Nash/Shaq. Pop/Timmy. Isn't Dice a Georgia guy?
Has Dyess cleaned out his locker? At least AI didn't take his number.
It's bothering me as well. Especially if he's watching us struggle to win without CBill.
Curry should probably drive for wins over the next 30 days to woo Dyess back (vs. the development strategy, which he could resume after we're whole again). Put a hold on the life lessons for a while. That stuff like "if your man keeps beating you, you'll just have to get better" is what I'm talking about. Nobody is going to get that much better on defense in the short-run.
If we do get Dyess back, even a better trade on our part.
*cuts Dice phonelines*
LOL. I'm with Tashawn. WIN NOW! Get Dice back semi j/k. Dyess if you're reading this, when i said were slow and not very good defensively in those 1 (2) ? games, i did it out of love because i only want you to be the best you can be, and i know you can be so much better! (besides who's going to be rebound?!) edited to add; Some (maybe)good news; at least i think so. The wording is strange in the part about TOR, The "recent years" thing throws me off. Does it mean we tried to trade him to TO? Also the end sucks, but probably spin. McDyess seems headed for U-turn - The Boston Globe
Boston Globe is horrible! What the heck is this? Do they expect KG trades to happen everything they need to win?
If Boston gets Dice, I will throw up.
That would not be a good outcome. Giving a veteran/ big man/ character guy/ rebounder/ great jump shooter to our main competitor would officially mean that we threw in the towel this year. If Dyess is about the money, he would have stayed in Denver. If he's about the ring with no shame, he'll go to Boston. If he's about loyalty and has an understanding with Joe, then he'll come back to Detroit. To say it again though, what scares me is that he was planning on coming back, but may decide that we don't have a real shot at the title this year if we don't look solid in 30 days. Maybe he'll start looking out for himself at that point and consider other options... maybe even with Joe's blessing if JD sees that AI isn't the answer.
If McDyess comes back, Joe will promise not to trade him again this season.
He is not comming back I hate to say. Other teams can offer more and we did trade him.
I bet at least one forum poster is thinking that McDyess ("slowest defender in the NBA, doesn't post up on offense, etc.") going to the Celtics would give the Pistons a great advantage over Boston.
Dyess is coming back. Calm down, everyone.
OK. I feel better now. He is coming back and I'm not going to stress about it any more. See you in 30 days Dyess man!

Sabillo, Estrada in shape for 12-round WBO title tiff
Story and photo by Dennis Principe
Protagonists Merlito Sabillo, the defending WBO minimumweight champion, and challenger Jorle Estrada easily made the limit in Friday's official weigh-in at the posh Solaire Resort & Casino in Pasay City, Philippines.
The 29-year-old Sabillo (22-0, 11 KOs), who will be making the first defense of his title, tallied 104lbs while Estrada came in at 103lbs. Sabillo won the interim belt when he shocked local boy Luis De La Rosa via TKO in the 8th round in their title fight last March in Colombia. "That fight was tougher because we had to go through flight & hotel issues for three days before reaching Colombia. I had to sleep outside a Starbucks coffee store in Hong Kong as all hotels were fully booked at that time," said Sabillo.
Sabillo said his promoters have done a splendid job in arranging his first defense here in the country that he was able to focus on his training the whole three months of their camp at the ALA Boxing gym in Cebu. Sabillo's status was upgraded to regular champion after then titleholder Moises Fuentes of Mexico decided to move up in weight & campaign as a lightflyweight. The 24-year-old Estrada (17-6, 6 KOs) in the meantime has vowed to stop Sabillo within seven rounds.
In the undercard, upcoming superflyweight Arthur Villanueva (22-0, 12 KO's) will vie for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific superflyweight crown against Mexican Arturo Badillo (21-4, 19 KOs). Making a comeback after his failed world title attempt last October is AJ "Bazooka" Banal who will be facing another Mexican Abraham Gomez in a 10-round non-title fight. The fight card dubbed "Pinoy Pride XXI: When Worlds Collide" will be held Saturday night at the Grand Ballroom of the Solaire Resort & Casino in Pasay City.

Group Hopes To Reform Marijuana Laws
06/10/10 7:34AM By Susan Keese
| Download MP3
(Host) A grassroots group spearheaded by a former state legislator hopes to build support for reforming Vermont's marijuana laws.
Proponents say Vermont could more easily control marijuana by moving it off the streets and into state-regulated stores. Law enforcement officials disagree.
VPR's Susan Keese has more.
(Keese) Daryl Pillsbury spent eight years representing Brattleboro in the Statehouse.
He says he saw a lot of time and resources spent enforcing marijuana laws, and he thinks those resources could be put to better use.
Pillsbury has also worked for a couple of decades at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. He's seen the results of accidents, injuries, domestic violence.
(Pillsbury) "What I have seen in my 24 years is a problem more with alcohol and prescription drugs that are coming through that hospital left and right. Nobody has come in who had just smoked pot."
(Keese) Pillsbury is now on the Brattleboro Select Board. While he was campaigning for that seat he discovered that many of his neighbors think the laws on marijuana shouldn't be any tougher than those governing alcohol and prescriptions.
(Pillsbury) "Everybody's so afraid to step forward and try and do anything because they're afraid they'll be labeled a user, whatever."
(Keese) So Pillsbury decided that he would step up. Last month he and Brattleboro writer Vidda Crochetta organized a meeting for anyone interested in changing the marijuana laws.
The turnout was encouraging, so the two invited Windham Senator Jeanette White to share her insights at a second meeting this week.
White has co-sponsored several marijuana-related bills, including a failed attempt to decriminalize small amounts of pot. White says that effort convinced her that decriminalization - turning possession into something like a speeding violation - was not enough.
(White) "If we legalized it we could make it a legitimate product much as tobacco and alcohol are. And I'm not saying any of them are good. But people are going to use them, so prohibition doesn't work. And if we did that we could tax it, and get the criminal element out of it."
(Keese) White says some of the revenues realized from taxing pot could be spent on education.
(White) "Because we know that education is what worked with young people around cigarettes. And we could control it. So we could keep it - not entirely of course, but out of the hands of kids."
(Keese) White - who is not a member of Pillsbury's group - says strong opposition from law enforcement is one reason many recent bills have failed.
Thomas Tremblay, Vermont's commissioner of public safety, says there's good reason for that.
(Tremblay) "Marijuana has proven to be a harmful and significantly abused substance. When you look at substance abuse problems it's tied to community erosion and to crime. Why do we want to make one more substance that's widely abused that much more accessible to the general public?"
(Keese) Daryl Pillsbury is convinced many Vermonters feel differently. He says he's starting small, in Windham County. But he hopes eventually the movement will go statewide.
For VPR News, I'm Susan Keese.

Visiting Judge Postpones Preliminary Due to D.A. Diddling and Bad Attorney Blues
Seven defendants (two were recharged) now face an upcoming Preliminary Hearing sometime in June thanks to the deep-pocket conspiracy obsessions of D.A. Bob Lee and his faithful lieutenant Rebekah Young. The Seven are activists and reporters selected out of hundreds who passed through the 4-year empty-Wells Fargo Bank (now surrounded with barbed wire) at River and Water Streets downtown. As one of the Magnificently Weary Seven, I give my personal account below, which, of course, reflects only my views.
Judge Sillman, standing in (sitting in?) for Judge Burdick with cases moved to Dept. 7, first unexpectedly issued arrest warrants for Cameron Laurendeau and Franklin ("Angel") Alcantara. I was told neither they nor their attorneys had been effectively advised that D.A. R. Young was finally refiling all the bogus charges. When Angel showed up later, the judge recalled his warrant.
Apparently Cameron was left to swing in the wind over the long weekend. He can't have the warrant cleared, locals said, until Tuesday morning and if encountered, will have to face jail, bail, and more of this costly "humiliate-the-activsts" process. An example of Young's indifference, ineptitude, or deliberate malice in my view.
Brent Adams successfully got another court-appointed lawyer--J.J. Hamlin--who is likely to be better than the retiring creep Ryan Murphy, who was forced to withdraw (even though Brent earlier lost his Marsden motion). The appointment, however, won't be active for another week. The Public Defenders and Alternate Public Defenders who have covered most of the 11, have with a few honorable exceptions, not been terribly interest in much prep, pre-hearing communication with defendants or other lawyers, and making any pre-hearing motions that might discourage or quell this witchhunt. This is typical of the Santa Cruz courtroom process where plea-bargains and last-minute conferences in the hall are S.O.P.
My attorney (out of towner David Beauvais) previously exposed Young's repeated failure to provide requested discovery. At this hearing, he moved for a continuance of the Preliminary Hearing date because of that failure. The hearing--scheduled previously for Tuesday May 29th, was postponed, and joined in by five of the other six defendants (presumably the same will apply to Cameron when he is informed).
Desiree, Becky, Angel, and I were also there--Gabriella and Cameron were not. Judge Sillman brushed aside R. Young's excuses for not having all the discovery available, though it appears she has most of it. In fact, Young needed to be sanctioned and the cases dismissed for her continued abuse of the discovery process (i.e. withholding discovery, cooking up excuses, not to mention patching together wild conspiracy theories). The D.A.'s office probably also needed to be recused from prosecution for its nasty practice of posting videos without timestamp or authorship on its website, but not providing those same videos to the defense in a manner where they could be used. (See http://www.youtube.com/user/SantaCruzDAs)
The new court date to reexamine the situation is 8:15 AM Dept. 6 Friday June 1st. This seemed to relieve the attorneys who had feared having to spend the whole long weekend going through video, photos, and past Preliminary Hearing transcripts in prep for the now canceled Tuesday hearing. The June 1st hearing will likely be before Sillman, but Burdick is returning the next week, so the cases will be back in his court--which is better. Burdick is the judge who dismissed cases against 6 of the 11 at the Preliminary Hearings or shortly thereafter. Young, as mentioned before, doggedly refiled against Angel and Cameron. In theory the other four can be refiled against as well because the dismissals by Burdick with "without prejudice".
There are rumors that Rebekah Young would make another attempt to replace Judge Burdick on this case after having failed to do in the cases of Alex Darocy and Bradley Allen. This will not be possible according to my attorney (David Beauvais) because Young needed to do that shortly after Burdick was assigned (after the previous judge, Symons, was recused)--and she failed to take action at that time.
The Santa Cruz Eleven (currently the Seven, depending on the moods of former reporter, cub D.A. Rebekah Young) still strongly need support--not just for the sake of our own cases, but because this ongoing prosecution is a frosty sword against anyone who'd publicly challenge the real criminals like Wells Fargo and the politicians, prosecutors, and police that protect them.
For more info of a less personal and passionate nature (the opinions here are obviously my own), go to http://www.santacruzeleven.org . There you can find (and perhaps add) more endorsements demanding these charges be dropped. Please contact local organizations to which you belong and get them to sign on. The First Amendment you save could be something you want to use in future.
Yesterday a "Flash Tent Occupation" took place in front of the Courthouse (where First Amendment activity is now barred after 7 PM in the latest "modernization of the Constitution" decreed by local officials). See at "TENT MOB!! yes we camp.. for 3 hours" at http://www.facebook.com/events/371713436209812/ & followup facebook posts at http://www.facebook.com/groups/occupysantacruz/ . Sadly, this is an example of how neutered protest has become in Santa Cruz under the toxic shadow of felony prosecutions.
More of my personal analysis of Santa Cruz's Crackdown on Occupy (remarkably coincidental with similar crackdowns across the country) can be found at "Defense Demands the Missing Videos in the Santa Cruz Eleven case" at http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/05/17/18713652.php and related links.
Activist "Lighthouse" Linda Lemaster continues to face six months in jail for sitting with a sign on the steps of the county building in August of 2010 with PeaceCamp2010. See http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/02/16/18707485.php and Linda's own blog at http://hearthbylinda.blogspot.com/ .
"Ground Zero" Gary Johnson and activist attorney Ed Frey face six months in jail each in an appeal of their convictions (Gary was additionally convicted and sentenced to two years for sleeping on a bench outside the courthouse with a "Sleep is Not a Crime" sign in a separate case) 4 PM Thursday June 14th in Dept. 5.
Prospects are not hopeful as the courts maintain a close "friendly" relationship with cops, politicians, and povertypimpsters who have no problem making sleep after eleven outside for the 1500-2000 homeless people in Santa Cruz a crime.
For more coverage of these issues, check out http://www.beckyjohnsononewomantalking.blogspot.com/search/label/Gary%20Johnson and http://www.beckyjohnsononewomantalking.blogspot.com/search/label/Ed%20Frey .
For those interested in restoring the rights of homeless people, or even maintaining the basic middle-class rights to peaceably assemble, it's an ongoing struggle.

In spite of lengthy discussions with the defendants about the insufficiency of the evidence in the majority of cases (which even a not particularly radical Judge Burdick agreed to), author Pasko had nothing to say. A tiny bit of relevance tends to creep in at the end of her story, but she continues to be (as who would expect otherwise?) an establishment mouthpiece.
No mention of the number of hearings, the expense. No questioning of Young about what "new evidence" she claimed to have and why she didn't present it at the prior Preliminary Hearing for the two being put through this ordeal again (Angel Alcantara and Cameron Laurendau).
Nor that three of the seven still twisting in the wind are journalists (me, Becky Johnson, and Brent Adams). Nor that the Sentinel photographer was in the building. Pasko herself denied being in the building. Shamefully, no mention of the significance of the attack on journalists or on activists more broadly--or its connection/reflection in other cities.
Nothing, of course, about concerns about Wells Fargo, or the glaring blight of three empty bank buildings downtown--one now fenced off with barbed wire.
You can't really simply dismiss this as laziness, since she spoke with me and others extensively. Sad to read one's usual opinions confirmed. Not sure if we should be grateful if she showed up or not.
So the facade of psuedo-legality continues to mask expensive and naked opportunistic scapegoating of disfavored community activists. What is not mentioned, as usual, is more important than what is actually written.
On an upbeat note, the attorneys finally seem to be getting together, sharing the "evidence" as well as some of the expenses. And, amazingly as ever, Occupy activists may have diminished in number, but not in spirit.

I too have experienced the 'suspiciously long weekend' timing of local legal hassles, although proving a pattern of prosecutorial or judicial misconduct, in court, is one of the higher legal barriers to liberty, in the USA (I am shocked!).
Police Misconduct (Law & Litigation), crime in progress!
How to 'Marsden motion' judges...
"plea-bargains and last-minute conferences in the hall are S.O.P. " everywhere. Here is a recent article about McJustice
The Sentinel and their reporters are sloppy at best. Even spoon feeding relevant facts to Pasko (like 602(o) and 602.8(c)(2) Constitutional (pseudo)protections) is like interacting with a corporation; no pay, no play.
Sunday May 27th, 2012 6:35 PM
The FBI website describes how to file color of law complaints for abusing positions of authority to violate civil rights protected by the Constitution and U.S. law. DA Bob Lee and his righthand Rebekah Young have abused their positions of authority to persecute the Santa Cruz 11 on a personal vendetta violating several civil rights laws and the U.S. Constitution.
Hold them accountable by writing a color of law complaint and sending it to U.S. Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez for the Civil Rights Division, while carbon copying it to local, regional and national media outlets. If you argue your case well, you will receive a satisfactory response. Don't let DA Bob Lee and his righthand Rebekah Young evade responsibility for their crimes. Ensure that they are punished with civil and criminal penalties.
File your color of law complaints soon. Get help from the Northern California ACLU filing them. The positive response you'll receive from the U.S. Department of Justice will surprise you. The federal government will put DA Bob Lee and his persecution machine out of business for good.
Wednesday May 30th, 2012 3:34 AM
Sound familiar? There are other cases of color of law civil rights violations against journalistic activists, First Amendment related retaliatory prosecution. Read about Eric Baldwin, a journalist and consumer activist who was retaliated against for exercising his First Amendment rights in San Bernadino County in California.
This makes interesting reading. I believe DA Bob Lee and Rebekah Young's actions are precedent setting color of law civil rights violations involving First Amendment retaliatory prosecution. The Northern California ACLU should step in for the rest of the Santa Cruz 11. Hopefully soon we will see some national news coverage of DA Bob Lee and Rebekah Young's selective prosecution/persecution of the Santa Cruz 11 for exercising their First Amendment rights.

Electronic Ignition Furnace will not stay burning
Hi i got a question i do volunteer work for a church and I've fixed many of furnaces before but they always used a pilot light. this one I'm trying to fix now uses Electronic Ignition and the igniter was clearly bad. I replaced it and now it lights but after about 25 to 30 seconds it shuts down. Then restarts the proses and when its burning its working correctly. What senses the flame? because it acts like its not sensing the heat and keeps retrying to light.Thank you.
There should be a flame sensor that looks like a small spark plug, it just needs to be cleaned with emory cloth. If it doesn't have a seperate sensor, the igniter is the sensor, was it replaced with an exact replacement? What is the furnace brand and model?
yeah. but does it matter witch side the wires plug in to? because the way they shipped it. the wires was not pushed in to the plug holder. how ever nether wire was marked. Thanks for the quick reply
It makes no difference. It just has to be mounted so it's in the flame.

Do any of these venues ring any bells?
- Cutler and CO
- Cumulus Inc
- Supernormal
- Luxembourg
- Builders Arms Hotel
- Moon Under Water
- Meatsmith
What about the name Andrew McConnell?
If yes, then Marion Wine Bar is another that venue that needs to be added to that list and then you will also know what you can expect from it.
If not, then I have given you a great list to begin your Melbourne Exquisite Dining journey.
Pictured is everything I ate with my friend Suzanne last night, not pictured is the Fish that we also ordered.
I highly rate and recommend Marion Wine Bar. It's totally worth it and so are you!

> so how do I keep it in synch with my hosted Couch instance The obvious solution is to either manually use futon or to have a local copy of couchdb and use the built-in replication. So your program on your local computer could either generate data you could manually update or it could update your local couchdb. I've already asked about futon. So let me ask, why can't you run a local couchdb? It runs on windows, macs, and linux. To answer you original question, no, you cannot update over the net without some way to link docs. I can't imagine how any DB could do this.

La Paloma is an old Bahamian styled house in a quiet residential neighborhood in central Nassau, with a large balcony over looking the Nassau harbor. Enjoy your breakfast or an evening drink as you sit out and watch the view as the balmy breezes relax your spirit. Pets and children are welcome. Breakfast is not provided. Full kitchen access, free internet access.
1.4 on May 05, 2014
We recently (April 2014) stayed at LaPaloma, Nassau for 4 days. We chose this B & B for numerous reasons, one of which were the outstanding reviews we read on the internet. An update on these reviews is that LaPaloma no longer has the "pick up at the airport" service. You need to make your own way to the house. Also the Breakfast part of the B & B is no longer. Breakfast is not included in your stay, although you do have full access to the kitchen at all times. However, the general state of the house including the kitchen is not clean. Also there is next to no cutlery available for your use, and the kitchen has no hot water to wash the dishes with. The porch at the front of the house is messy and dirty. Also the bathroom is quite dated. The toilet and the bathtub/shower were quite dirty and the water from the showerhead just trickles out. The bedrooms (we used the two on the upstairs level) met out sleeping needs, however, they are just adequate. Diane is friendly, however, if you are looking for more than just a place to sleep, you will not really find it at LaPaloma.
Innkeeper Response
Thanks for posting - even an unfavorable review has its benefits. I do not use the shower in the bathroom, so did not know about the problem with the velocity. I have dealt with it. Re the cutlery, I can only assume I did not show you the cutlery drawer, as there are lots available. Generally it is not cold enough in the Bahamas to need hot water in the sink. It does not make a difference to getting the dishes clean, it is more a comfort thing. When it is too cold, we heat the water on the stove. I think what you defined as dirt in the bathroom is actually rust and lime stain. This is an old house with old pipes, and it is hard to get away from rust stains!And our water is very high in lime, so over the years it builds up. The sink, bath and toilets are all bleached out daily. By the way, my big project for this year is to re-do the bathroom. I have never provide breakfast, I just offer people a place to stay, and let them make their own dining arrangements. I appreciate the comment about the front porch, and will be taking care of that issue this weekend. I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay. I have decided to have a card for people to complete while they are here to let me know what needs to be improved. Feed back would help a lot.

4.2 on November 22, 2011
BOTTOM LINE: I certainly made the right decision to stay at La Paloma and would highly recommend it for vacationers, adventurous eco-travellers, and non-fussy budget-minded graduate students or young professionals. DETAILS: I planned a weeklong trip to Nassau for business + pleasure. As an adventurous young professional interested in experiencing local life, I decided to stay in a guest house near downtown Nassau instead of in a large hotel on the ocean. Based on price, location, residential neighborhood, and unbelievable service, La Paloma is the absolute best value guest house in Nassau (e.g., beats Mignon Guest House). The room size (Coral room), ventilation, temperature, and furnture were very comfortable and I adjusted to 'living' in the house immediately. The bathroom was well lit and good size. The neighborhood was on a hill with a view and was good for walking around. La Paloma is a 3 minute drive away from the bridge to Paradise Island (and I enjoyed walking home from Paradise Island for my exercise actually, ~ 30 mins). Diane's personalized and friendly service is by far the most special aspect of La Paloma and what sets it above other accommodation options. From airport pick-up and drop-off (included in the rate -- very rare for this type of accommodation), to shuttling to downtown to catch a jitney or grab groceries (and from downtown if able, also no extra cost), to recommending local sights and activities (the amazing Blue Lagoon Island beach day, 'Jollification' local craft fair), to tips on good local eats (Fish Fry, and under the bridge), Diane was just exceptional and certainly went above and beyond expectations. On the occasions where a question or problem arose (e.g., hangers needed, shower blocked) Diane attended to it quickly once brought to her attention. (FYI - I did not order meals at La Paloma, but brought home breakfast groceries on Day 1 and ate out for other meals, which is why dining is 3 'met my expectations').
4.4 on February 07, 2011
This stay was for a surprise birthday trip. Our hostess was GREAT! she met us at the airport, and gave us a tour of the town, She gave us a ride to downtown and Paradise Island. We felt like we were at home, drinks on the veranda and good conversation. She was avalaibe to give us a ride to dinner each night. When it was time to leave it was like saying goodbye to a good friend.
3.2 on February 05, 2011
Diane picked me up at the airport and, although the drive back to the bed and breakfast was scary (they drive on the wrong side of the road!), I arrive in one piece. Diane also pointed me in the direction of the tourist sector of town, and drove me both to the dock for my next day's Beach Day Adventure and to the supermarket that evening. She is very friendly, very polite, and there is free wifi in the building. Diane also drove me to the dock for my departure to the Sivananda Ashram. Altogether, my stay was awesome, but it didn't include breakfast.
4.2 on February 05, 2011
Diane made us feel like family, and went above and beyond to assist in many ways, including picking us up at the airport, and stopping to allow us to purchase groceries. Wi-fi, and complete use of her spacious home made for an enjoyable stay.

Emma Watson recently sat down for an interview about her years as Hermione coming to a close.
